No, Jewish producer Chris 25 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: was not being lazy. He did not forget to upload 26 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: a podcast of the show for all of you who 27 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: listen live at the various cities were in. No, it 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: wasn't your imagination. Those were repeat shows, best of shows. 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: The truth is we have been iced in and are 30 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: still iced in. I just simply could not take it anymore. 31 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: I put on ice skates and skated to work today. No, 32 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: I actually got to drive. But it is bad here 33 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: in Texas. I don't expect you to care if you're 34 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: not here, just the way human nature is. But I'll 35 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: kind of give you a skinny on what happened. No, 36 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: we weren't here the last two days because we couldn't 37 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: physically get to the studio for the last two days. 38 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: It's that bad here. But today we have Mitch McConnell 39 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: versus Donald Trump. I'm really really baffled by something when 40 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: it comes to that whole feud. I'll get to that 41 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: in a minute. We have a Virginia bill that would 42 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: create reparations scholarships, Joe Biden making excuses for China during 43 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: a town hall, and a Japanese major party invites women 44 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: to look and not talk at key meetings. As you 45 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: can imagine, we're gonna have a lot to say about that. 46 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: It is so so good to be back. But first, 47 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: let us go to the biggest battle in the history 48 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: of the world. A battle by itself is on the 49 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: list for biggest wars in the history of the world. 50 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: A horrible place, a living hell, fought by two monsters 51 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: you hate them both, fought by two armies you will 52 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: you will hate. Nevertheless, we are going to go to 53 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: a little place called Stalin Grad. Yes, that's right. Difficult 54 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: to even talk about it or learn about it because 55 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: who are you rooting for? Right, I mean, it's it's 56 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: easy to be anti Nazi until you have to be 57 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: pro Communists. It's not comfortable. Right. Well, I'm not rooting 58 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: for Stalin, I'm not rooting for Hitler. I just kind 59 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: of want everyone to die. Well, here's some good news. 60 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Basically everyone did at stalling Man, pretty much all of them. 61 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Situation on the ground nineteen forty one, forty two. This 62 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: is the time we're talking about here. Hitler launches Operation Barbarossa, 63 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: the air fingers quote surprise attack on the Soviets. I said, 64 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: air fingers quote, because remember they had a non aggression pact. 65 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: They had decided, Hey, we're gonna just split up Europe. 66 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Were the two big boys here. Russia, you take everything 67 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe. Germany will take everything in Western Europe. 68 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: We're all good, right, Yep, yep, yep, we're good. We're done. 69 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: But they always hated each other. Hitler, I don't know 70 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: if you're aware of this. He did not care for Jews. 71 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: He also blamed Jews for not only losing World War One, 72 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: he blamed them for communism. That's a Jewish things. He 73 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: hates them for that. Stop, Chris, it's not there. Chris 74 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: is over here raising their hands like he had a 75 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: point there. No, no, no, no, they went way beyond. Yes, 76 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: there were lots of Jews who were instrumental and putting 77 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: communism in place in the early Soviet Union, but it 78 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: wasn't a Jewish thing. There were just lots of Jews 79 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: that the two didn't cross every whatever. Anyway, Hitler hates 80 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: the Communists. He hates Jews, he hates the Communists, he 81 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: hates the Slavs. It's a real racial superiority thing. So 82 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: the Stalin versus Hitler clash was always going to come. Stalin, 83 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: bumbling idiot that he was, somehow didn't know it was coming. 84 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: He even was warned about Hitler's massive military build up 85 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: along his border. I mean, hither, It's not like you 86 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: can hide that many tanks and planes and supplies and manpower. 87 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: And Stalin's being warned about it, and he still chose 88 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: not to believe it. Now now he's not coming. At 89 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: one point he pulled his troops back from the border 90 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: so as not to provoke the Germans. That's how much 91 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: he didn't want it. Nevertheless, incomes Germany. Germany. I mean, 92 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: it's way too much. This battle loans way too much. 93 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: It would take me and take me hours. So I'm 94 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: going to have to skip over massive parts. This is 95 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: another one of the parts of the story where I 96 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: have to step in here really briefly and tell you 97 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: if the Eastern Front Germany versus the Soviet Union in 98 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: World War Two fascinates you at all, and it should. 99 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: I know you hate them both, so do I. It 100 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: is still on its own. The biggest war in the 101 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: history of mankind, violent hatred, atrocities on both sides, horrible. 102 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: If it fascinates you at all, start reading on it, 103 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: start watching documentaries on it. It is incredible. The great 104 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Dan Carlin, the best history storyteller out there. He did 105 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: one called Oh Blueprint for Apocalypse, I believe it's called, 106 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: And it's like a five part one on the Eastern Front, 107 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: the ost Front of World War Two. Fascinating. But Germany 108 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: blows into the Soviet Union and they are whippin' pale 109 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: on the way through. The Soviet Army is simply not 110 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: lad well enough because Stalin again moron that he is 111 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: killed all the capable generals or imprisoned all the capable generals. 112 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: The Soviet Army is up against a juggernaut of a 113 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: German army. At this time, the German Army keeps encircling 114 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: entire Soviet units. They're moving so fast, they're encircling them 115 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: and then decimating them. The entire unit they'll kill. I mean, 116 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the numbers here are amazing. They routinely kill two hundred 117 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand Soviets, and the scale is so grand 118 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: I would just simply say, remember this the Vietnam War. 119 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: We lost about fifty five thousand Americans in total for 120 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: the whole war. And that is obviously rightfully. I mean, 121 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: we're highly respected and thought of as this dark, dark 122 00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: moment in American history? Was it seven years? Six seven years, 123 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: fifty five thousand men? The Soviets will lose two hundred 124 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand men routinely in a matter of a 125 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: couple days. Then just call up another two fifty and 126 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: they'll get slammed too. And the Germans are finding something 127 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: out about these Soviets. One they're led very poorly. Two, 128 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: you meet them out in the fields, you know, German 129 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: army against against Soviet army. The Germans in general are 130 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: going to win that battle very early on. But three, 131 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: once you get them to their major cities like Moscow, 132 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: they fight like lions. Once their backs are up against 133 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: the wall, they simply will fight to the death. They're 134 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: they're trying to take places like Moscow and failing. They're 135 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: just it's not working finishing off the major cities they 136 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: want to finish off. They almost got Moscow, didn't. They 137 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: eventually have to pull back because of the winter and 138 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: because they didn't achieve every objective they wanted. They pull 139 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: back and get ready to regroup. And here was the 140 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: plan for when they regrouped. The plan was to go 141 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: after a place called Stalingrad. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union 142 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: with three different armies Army Group A, B and C. 143 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 1: They were going north, middle, and south, and it was 144 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: time to go take Stalingrad. Only the Soviets had other ideas. 145 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: All right, McConnell versus Trump and a Joe Biden toown hall. 146 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Hang on, this is a Jesse Kelly show.

Well, if you look at a map, 170 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: you'll see this gigantic blue thing running along Stalingrad that's 171 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: called the Volga River. Eleven of the twelve major cities 172 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union are on the Volga River. One 173 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: of the most fascinating things about civilizations is how they 174 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: set themselves up around water. You look at the Soviet Union, 175 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: or America or Europe or anything else, you'll see there's 176 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: pretty common traits. With every single city they have a 177 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: water source of some kind. The Volga River, especially at 178 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: this point in the Soviet Union, is like the major 179 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: super highway feeding the rest of the country, feeding the 180 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: rest of the country, things like oil. Maybe you've heard 181 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: that's important. Imagine if you could take Stalingrad and cut 182 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: off the Soviet Union from oil, you would end them. 183 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. If the Germans win at 184 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: Stalingrad ad, it's not as if the Soviets would capitulate 185 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: the next day. But they win that war, they win 186 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: that portion of the war, they take over and they go. 187 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: Now the Germans are facing something else as they push on. 188 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: This is their renewed offensive. They're facing stretched out supply lines. 189 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: Anybody who listens to this show knows how important that is. 190 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: Because the Soviet Union is simply so freaking huge. The 191 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: place is enormous, absolutely enormous. So they're facing stretched out 192 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: supply lines, so moving slower as they go along, the 193 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: Soviets try like counterattacks. I don't even want to call 194 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: it a counterattack. That's why I said like counterattacks. They 195 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: basically throw a bunch of untrained reservists against this wall 196 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: of Germans and they all get slaughtered again. It was again, 197 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: it was another two hundred and fifty thousand of them. 198 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: They're just losing men by the million. By now, the 199 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: Soviets are moving backwards, the Germans are moving forward. Stalin 200 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: issues his famous order. You can go read it to 201 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: this day. It's called Order two to seven. It's known 202 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: as the not one step back order. Essentially, Stalin's order 203 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: said this, people are getting disheartened because our army keeps 204 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: moving backwards. We do not have limitless land, limitless bread, 205 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: limitless everything. We are done moving backwards. And in order 206 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: to ensure nobody was going to move backwards, Stalin begins, well, 207 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: he begins making sure that's going to happen. He sets 208 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: up units to sit behind his units who are fighting, 209 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: and their job is to mow down any Soviet soldier 210 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: who turns and runs, and they did so often. Stalin 211 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: was famous for saying, in our army, it takes more 212 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: courage to retreat than it does to move forward. They 213 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: even set up penal units, meaning if you were somebody 214 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: who got caught running away and managed not to get shot, 215 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: or your unit did, or whatnot, you would get assigned 216 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: to a penal unit, a prison unit. They would put 217 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: you in prison or a gulag and then take about 218 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: eight hundred of you at a time and make a 219 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: unit out of you, basically a penal battalion out of you, 220 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: and you were assigned to the most dangerous parts on 221 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: the front line. You would the places they put these 222 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: pedal units almost guaranteed you were going to die. To 223 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: be assigned to a penal unit was a death sentence. 224 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: You were going to die. Period. Stalin's order did have 225 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: an effect, though people were well aware, we can't go 226 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: back anymore. The Soviets start throwing into Stalingrad in anticipation 227 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: of the Germans going there, because now they know they're 228 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: going there, and the Germans show up. The Germans show up, 229 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: but they make a critical mistake that has been made 230 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: time and again. They did not realize how the Soviets 231 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: were starting to fortify the place and move troops into 232 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: the place, and the Germans were so stretched out with 233 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: their supply lines they stopped just outside of the city 234 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: to pause and regroup first, that let's look, we're moving fine, 235 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: we need to get all of our stuff together. But 236 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: so often in life, so often for you, for me, 237 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 1: for countries, for armies, for businesses, for everything. Timing is everything. 238 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: What they should have been doing instead of pausing to regroup, 239 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: and I understand the appeal of it. What they should 240 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: have been doing was staring at the calendar and know 241 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: that winter is coming. Winter is coming. But they pause 242 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: and then they start to ramp up after a long pause, 243 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: and what do they do. They make yet another critical 244 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: error when it comes to Stalingrad. They're taking the suburbs. Remember, 245 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: you like to think about ancient cities as if you know, 246 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: there's just an ancient older cities, as if there's just 247 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, the cities there. Well, it's just like your city. 248 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: There are suburbs. The Germans tear through the suburbs and 249 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: then they start bombing the city itself. That's a huge 250 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: mistake artillery air. They're blowing the buildings up in the 251 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: city and creating an absolute nightmare for themselves because they're 252 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: bombing it before they invade it. You have to be careful. 253 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: Armies have run into trouble like this time and time again. 254 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: It sounds nice, it sounds tough to wall. We'll just 255 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: bomb I'm just smitherines and then go in. Material does 256 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: not vaporize, material crumbles. You now have created a nightmare 257 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: for your tanks, and you've created a fortress for them. 258 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: Once they're done carpet bombing, they push in. And by 259 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: now the Soviets have a man in charge. You should know, 260 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: we've done a show on him before. Probably the greatest 261 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: general maybe whoever lived, certainly the greatest general in World 262 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: War Two, Zukov. Zukov is now running the show. He 263 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: had already saved Moscow. Stalin sends zookof in and says go. 264 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: And while Hitler was a micro manager who almost undoubtedly 265 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: costs Nazi Germany the war, Stalin was a micromanager, yes, 266 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: but was, to his credit aware that Zukov was not 267 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: a man you should micro manage. You give it to 268 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Zukov and say go in, please, just you go, do 269 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: Zukov stuff. I'm gonna go over here and do homicidal 270 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: dictator stuff. We all have our thing. Zukov shows up, 271 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: the Germans push in, and you have to read about 272 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: the Battle of Stalingrad or watch a documentary about the 273 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: Battle of Stalingrad to fully appreciate this. So I'll just 274 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: give you one one little scenario that took place all 275 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: over the city. Remember the Soviets not allowed to retreat. 276 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: The Germans trying to push the Soviets out of Stalingrad 277 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: back to the Volga River, which is behind the Soviets. 278 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: Get them back to the Volga, annihilate them, take the Volga. 279 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: That's the plan. But you have to fight for every 280 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: single inch of Stalingrad if you're the Germans or you're 281 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: the Soviets. The Germans would take a week to clear 282 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: out a building, and then the Soviets would counterattack and 283 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: take a week to take it back, and then the 284 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: Soviets would counterattack and take a week to take it back. 285 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: And we're talking an entire city, a major city here, 286 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: And I want you to understand something about taking a building. 287 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Do you want to know what it's like to take 288 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: a building?

You have to take it room by room, 333 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: and the fighting is personal, horrifying, impersonal. And what I 334 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is this, I'm not gonna 335 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: get obviously, I'm gonna get too bloody on you here. 336 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: But it is one thing in combat to shoot a 337 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: man from one hundred yards away, two hundred yards away. 338 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm not making light of it at all, But you 339 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: squeeze the trigger, he falls down, he's gone. It is 340 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: another thing, entirely to have him two to three feet 341 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: away from you, to look him in the eyes, to 342 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: hear him screaming, and hear him hear you're screaming. When 343 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: you clear out a building, you have to march down hallways, 344 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: you have to enter a room forget about, you know, 345 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: forget about the building gets too much to think of 346 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: right now. Think about walking into a room and knowing 347 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: there's a man or men in that room with an 348 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: AK forty seven, I'm sixteen, whatever. Pick your weapon aimed 349 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: at the door, you have to run through, trying to 350 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: shoot you. On the way through, you're throwing in grenades. 351 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: They're throwing back grenades. Did I mention it's not like 352 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: the movies where walls stopped grenades all the time. Oftentimes 353 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: they do. Not. You charge in there, you're shooting, they're shooting. 354 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: You're also deaf. I forgot to mention that part. Do 355 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: you want to know what it's like to shoot a 356 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: weapon inside of a building? All the sounds stays right 357 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: there and turns your ear drums to mush. You can't 358 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: hear anything. And that was one room. Let's say you 359 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: throw a grenade in, maybe you get one or two 360 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: where all of them you stom in, they get one 361 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: or two of your guys. You now have another room, 362 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: and then another room, and then another room, and then 363 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: another room. And we're still on the first floor. Oh 364 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: how are you getting up? Well, you can have an elevator. 365 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: They had elevators back then. They were famous battles in 366 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: Stolygrad and elevator shafts, or you can take the stairs. 367 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: Trying to lay this out for you as best I can, 368 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: I want you to imagine I'm one, maybe two stories 369 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: above you in a stairwell. I have you know at 370 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: AK forty seven aimed down at you. You have to 371 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: climb the stairs without getting shot in the face. This 372 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: is a very very rudimentary breakdown of what it's like 373 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: to clear out a building and how horrible it is 374 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: to clear out a building. And that was one floor. 375 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: That was that was a fraction of one floor. Multiply 376 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: that several times to take a building. That's why it 377 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: would sometimes take a week to clear one out. And 378 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: then picture the same building being taken back, and then 379 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: you go back in and take it back, and then 380 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: then and then they are taking it back from you. 381 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: And this took place in building after building after building 382 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: after building after building in Stalingrad. I just look, I 383 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: don't want to ruin the end of the story for you, 384 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: but you have to understand we're talking. We don't know 385 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: the numbers. Potentially two million people died in and around 386 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: this battle, and the Germans they're crushing the Soviets with artillery. 387 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: So Zukov he makes quite a ruling. I mean it 388 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: was genius, but bloody. He rules that the Soviets are 389 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: supposed to stay within fifty yards of the Germans at 390 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: all time. That means, no matter what, even if you're 391 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: not engaging, you have to be right there. Why so 392 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: the Germans won't call artillery on you because they're not 393 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: going to risk calling it on themselves. But it made 394 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: all the fighting up close personal. We're talking bayonets, fists, rocks. 395 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: It's brutal, absolutely brutal, and I forgot to mention, you 396 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: still have civilians there, lots of them, civilians who are 397 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: now dying of thirst. Oh oh, you did you think 398 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: the Germans weren't going to bomb the water facilities? Of 399 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: course they did. Think about your own town. What if 400 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: you went to the faucet and turn it on and 401 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: there was no more water? What are you gonna do? 402 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: Citizens are dying of starvation, citizens are dying of thirst. 403 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: So they're doing what you can understand. Picture your kids 404 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: looking at you. I mean it has to be and 405 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: how many times? How many? How many Soviet civilians had 406 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: to go through this? Picture your kids looking up at you, Dad, 407 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm hungry, I need some food. What would you do? Mom? 408 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: I need water? Can you get me? What would you do? 409 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: The answer is anything, anything, And they would they would 410 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: go try to trade with the Germans if the Germans 411 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: were the only ones they could find. Oh, though, the 412 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: Soviets weren't going to allow this, because the Soviets knew 413 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: this was total war. The Soviets would routinely kill their 414 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: own civilians if they were caught doing this. And it's 415 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: not as if the Germans were really kind either. The 416 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: Germans would routinely kill the Soviet civilians. You're if you're 417 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: a civilian, you don't have allies. You're a sandwich between 418 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: people who all would have murdered you. It's that bad. 419 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: It's that bad. The battle is not only going on 420 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: inside the city, it's going on outside of the city. 421 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: And this is going to play a critical role in 422 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: our little story here as we get ready to wrap 423 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: it up. It wasn't only Germans. The Germans had other 424 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: countries they had conquered allowed to come with, countries like 425 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: Italy and Romania. Well, here's the problem. The German troops 426 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: are all awesome. They all were well equipped, well trained. 427 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: They were just awesome troops. The other countries, the Italians, 428 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: the Romanians, their troops sucked. They had bad equipment, bad training, 429 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: they were just bad troops. And the Germans would treat 430 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: them like crap because they were bad troops. They would 431 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: execute Romanian troops. Oh you fella see upon posts. Okay, 432 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna die, trying to get these guys whipped into shape. 433 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: So the Germans throw their crack troops into Stalingrad. Because 434 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: they want to take the city. They have to leave 435 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: people outside of the city to guard them, guard supply lines, 436 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: and they leave all their crappy troops outside of the city. 437 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: That's where you have all the Romanians and Italians. You 438 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: leave the weak ones in reserve. Germany takes a brief 439 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: pause because they have the Soviets up against the Ropes. 440 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: It has been brutal fighting, but the Soviets are now 441 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: backed towards the Volga. They're in serious, serious trouble, and 442 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: Germany decides, We're going to take a brief pause. Let's 443 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: bring up a bunch more artillery, a bunch more supplies, 444 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: and let's finish these guys off. Only you don't give 445 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: a man like Zukov the luxury of a pause. You 446 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: don't give that man a chance to regroup. Why well, 447 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: as a lot of Soviets are about to find out, 448 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: as a lot of Germans are about to find out, 449 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: Zukov has some really, really dark plans in store for 450 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: the invaders. Now we will get to that. And getting 451 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: kicked off of a parent advisory committee because you're white. 452 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: Hang up, Oh god on, nat him on inside of me, 453 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. You're listening to the Jesse Kelly show. No 454 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: word in English language is less convincing than probably Are 455 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: you sure we should get matching tattoos on a first aid. Sure, 456 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: we'll probably stay together. Probably, it's been twenty three minutes 457 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: since I ate. I can probably swim. You should wait 458 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cand cramp, Oh, 459 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green 460 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: from here. Probably, can I get a mulligan ready to go? Hey, 461 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: are you sure you're okay to drive? Yeah? I'm pretty sober. Yeah, 462 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it 463 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, 464 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: a car, or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. 465 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: A message brought to you by NITZA and AD Council. 466 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 1: Know they're idiots on other cable news channels that will 467 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: will say, well, you know, this mom and pop store 468 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: was vandalized during the summer riots, and that's just as 469 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: bad as the United States capital being vandalis no, no, 470 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: actually no, no, it's not. The capital of the United 471 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: States of America is the center of American democracy. And 472 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: while I am a fierce believer in people's right to 473 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: defend their private property, I'm not going to confuse at 474 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: Taco stand with the United States Capital. They're always telling 475 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: you exactly what they think about you. If you care 476 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: enough to listen, you will also understand and perhaps become 477 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: an oracle yourself, like I am what Chris? What I am? 478 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: Sombrero Jesse, I have an obligation here, all right? Eight 479 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: seven seventy three seven seven four three seven three Jesse 480 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly show dot com. That was Joe Scarborough 481 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: on his show telling you exactly what he thinks about you. 482 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: Your taco stand, you dirtball. I'm talking about the Saintly Capitol, 483 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: sacred ground, the center of democracy. All right, we'll give 484 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: that in a second. Let's finish up with Stalingrad. The 485 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: Germans pause for the final push. But again, why are 486 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you pausing? Look at your calendar. It's now October. Oh. 487 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: When the Germans paused, the Soviets were bringing in rein forcements. 488 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: The Soviets were bringing in mass amounts of winter gear, 489 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: which they have a plenty in Soviet in the Soviet Union. 490 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: The Germans were not the Soviets. Now they do a 491 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: counterattack of their own. They mass some units up and 492 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: they start attacking those weak German flanks of the German allies. 493 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: That are outside of the city. Remember the Romanians, the Italians, 494 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. They hammer it. It's called 495 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: Operation Uranus. Please grow up, Chris, please Operation Uranus. They 496 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: come and hammer on the Allies tanks, artillery, mass amounts 497 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: of troops. Germany. The smart move now at this point 498 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: is take those crack German troops who are in the 499 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: city and pull them back out of they so they 500 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: can help the weaklings defend only Germany has a micro 501 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: manager at the top. Yes, Hitler sucked for a variety 502 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: of reasons. It wasn't just the mass murder of Jews. 503 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't just his stupid mustache. Hitler was an insane 504 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 1: person and a micro manager and didn't want the appearance 505 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: of losing Stalingrad. So he wouldn't allow from the safety 506 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: and warmth of his office, he would not allow the 507 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: cracked German troops to leave Stalingrad and go out to 508 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: the outskirts and help his people. Except now things are 509 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: starting to go from bad to worse because those weak 510 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: Allies on the flanks they crumble. And I know you're 511 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: not looking at a map, but I want you to 512 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: picture something because you have to understand it. You have 513 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: a city Stalind. There's a river on the east side 514 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: of that city. Okay, this is all not exact, but 515 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty close. Stalingrad a river on 516 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: the east side of it. Consider that river basically a wall. 517 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: You have the Germans. The Germans came from the west 518 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: into the city. You had people set up outside of 519 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: the city to make sure they couldn't get behind you. 520 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: Cut off your supply lines, cut you off. Except now 521 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: that's exactly what the Soviets just did. They came slaughtered 522 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: the guys on the outside. And now the Soviets are 523 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: on the western side of Stalingrad. You do understand what 524 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: that means, right, You have it pictured in your head. 525 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: The entire German army is now encircled and surrounded in 526 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: Stalingrad with no supply line whatsoever, and you have mass 527 00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: Soviet armies on the outside, and it's starting to get cold. 528 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: You only have an airfield now, and an airfield is 529 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: simply not going to be enough. In Hitler's defense, and 530 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: I hate every saying those words, but in Hitler's defense, 531 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 1: he was promised by the head of the Lufwaffa, Herman Gouring. 532 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: He was the head of his air force. He was 533 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: promised by the head of his air force that they 534 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: could resupply, that the air force could handle the resupply 535 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: of the troops. But understand how much we're talking about here. 536 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: The troops, this number of troops need seven hundred tons 537 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: of food a day. That's just food, seven hundred tons 538 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: a day. There's no way planes can handle at Oh 539 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: and did I mention the Soviets are shooting them down, 540 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: and the Soviets have planes too. The German army is 541 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: now completely and utterly doomed. Only to their credit, they 542 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: retreat back into the city. They hunker down. They're freezing 543 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 1: to death already, and I mean guys are walking over 544 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: and in tanks driving over their frozen to death dead comrades. 545 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: You would wake up routinely in the morning and simply 546 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: look to your right and left, and your buddies would 547 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: have been would have frozen to death in the middle 548 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: of the night. It's that bad. But the Germans, to 549 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,879 Speaker 1: their credit, do not give up, because they cannot give 550 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: up because of how brutally they had treated all the 551 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: Russian people on their way in. They knew what awaited 552 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: them should they surrender, And boy did they turn out 553 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: to be right. All right, I'm finally going to wrap 554 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: this up because I have so much to get to 555 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: and I don't want to wrap it up, but I 556 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: must give me one second.

I get 584 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: way too many, but I read every single one of them. 585 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: Germany is now surrounded in Stalingrad. They know the situation 586 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: is dire. They decide they're going to try to send 587 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: in an army to break through the Soviet encirclemen and 588 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: reinforce those trips. Those troops inside stall and grid and 589 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: finished them off, and incomes the German army and they 590 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: start clashing with the Soviets. What happened next, Well, that's 591 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: for the history books and for you in just a second. 592 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show, This is the Jesse Kelly Show. 593 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: It just seems overwhelming. If every aspect of our daily 594 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: life has to change. It can seem overwhelming, but there 595 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: you are optimistic. Yeah, there are days when it looks 596 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: very hard. If people think it's easy, they're wrong. If 597 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: people think it's impossible, they're wrong. It's possible. It's possible, 598 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: but it'll be the most amazing thing mankind has ever done. 599 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: That's what it has to be. Yeah, it's an all 600 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 1: out effort, you know, like a world war, but it's 601 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: us against greenhouse gases. Oh, Bill Yates, mark my words. 602 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: As I've told you before on this show, that man 603 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: is a monster. He may not know he's a monster. 604 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,720 Speaker 1: He almost undoubtedly does not probably views himself as a savior. 605 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: That is the type of human being who will wipe 606 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: out mass amounts of humanity and not give it a 607 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 1: second thought. Eight seven seven three seven seven four three 608 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,919 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three 609 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,399 Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Right, let's wrop 610 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: up this Stalingrad stuff because I have so much others 611 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: enough to get to. The Germans try to get reinforcements 612 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: into Stalingrad. They start charging through. They are having success. 613 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 1: The Soviets are trying to keep them out. The Germans 614 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: are trying to get in, and the Germans inside of 615 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 1: Stalingrad now send the message to Hitler asking for permission. 616 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 1: That's the kind of micromanager he was to go try 617 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: to fight their way out and go meet this army. 618 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: Because these guys, remember they're in sitting in Stalingrad, they're 619 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: freezing to death. They're still fighting. They know they're encircled. 620 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: This is their chance. Help us here. Let us go 621 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: meet them. The army that's trying to get into the 622 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: Germans is now within thirty miles of them. You can 623 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: hear all the fighting. It's right there. Let us go. Hitler, 624 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to give up ground, does not 625 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: allow his army inside Stalingrad to leave and go meet 626 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: the reinforcing army. The reinforcing army stalls eventually, because Zukov 627 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: is a boss. Then it stops, and then the Germans 628 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: know it's over and they order the supporting army to 629 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 1: turn around and go home. The Germans sixth Army. I 630 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: haven't ever given you the names. That doesn't matter, but 631 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: the sixth Army, that's the army in Stalingrad. They know 632 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: it's over now and they're dying ugly, ugly, deaths, still freezing, 633 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: still bayonetting, still shooting. Disease is starting to set in, 634 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: because that's what happens when people starve, when you don't 635 00:46:53,800 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: have the nutrients, disease sets in the Soviets. They now 636 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: come up with an even better plan. Zukov, of course, 637 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 1: does they split Stalingrad in two two the German pockets. 638 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: They find a way to worm their way through the 639 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: center of it, and now they have two different German 640 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: pockets instead of one. There's one in the north, there's 641 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: one in the south. The south falls, then the north falls. 642 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: Some ninety thousand Germans did surrender, went into captivity with 643 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: the Soviets. Do you know how many saw Germany again? 644 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: Six thousand. The Soviets took out their revenge. Many of 645 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: them were killed by the Soviets on the march. Many 646 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: of them were killed by the Soviet weather and hunger 647 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 1: on the march. Those who weren't promptly marched off to 648 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: the gulags and worked to death. Picture this. Thirty years 649 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: after Stalingrad there were still German POWs in Soviet gulags. 650 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: Think about that. I know, it's hard to feel any 651 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,399 Speaker 1: sympathy for somebody wearing a German uniform at World War Two. 652 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: But picture a young man signing up to fight for 653 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 1: his country in Germany, puts on the uniform charges across 654 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union has to experience fighting like that in Stalingrad, 655 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: only to live the next three decades being worked to 656 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: death in a Soviet gulag. That is the story of Stalinger. 657 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: Understand this is the Germans should have won that war 658 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: with the Soviets. They should have that portion of the war. 659 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: They should have. I don't know that they could have 660 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: beaten us because of our materials, but they should have 661 00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: won that war with the Soviets. Why didn't they? Well, 662 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 1: this is an easy trap leaders fall into. And I 663 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: see people falling into this all the time. I see 664 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 1: it happening across the America. I see it happening across 665 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: the right all the time. Right now. Overestimating your own importance, 666 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: overestimating your own influence. It's not a little personality quirk. 667 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 1: It's deadly. It could be deadly to your movement. Shoot, 668 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,280 Speaker 1: it can actually cost people's lives. As you see from Hitler, 669 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 1: leaders because they're in leadership, easily can get seduced by 670 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: that kind of power and start to think that they're kings. 671 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: I've seen it a hundred times. It's not that people 672 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: become bad people when they take over something. They generally 673 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 1: were anyway. Like, you know, I'm a bad person anyway. 674 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: I've never pretended otherwise. But you get in there and 675 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:05,800 Speaker 1: now people do things you say all around you, everywhere 676 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: you're surrounded by him, do you start to think you're 677 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,800 Speaker 1: pretty important? You're pretty smart, you should be in control 678 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 1: of everything. Hitler had a whole bunch of yes men 679 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: around him, and anybody who wasn't wasn't around him very 680 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: much longer, and it doomed him. I see this Mitch 681 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: McConnell Donald Trump fight, and it floors me. It floors 682 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: me how dumb this is for Mitch McConnell. And this 683 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,720 Speaker 1: is what I mean. I am not a Mitch McConnell hater, because, 684 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: as I've told you before, I know exactly what Mitch 685 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 1: McConnell is, and I know what he isn't. You're not 686 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: going to lead the Senate GOP. Sadly, if you're a 687 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: hard right guy who's willing to actually fight for liberty, 688 00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: and you're not going to get a guy like that, 689 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: You're just not you're just not. Ted Cruz is never 690 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 1: going to lead the Senate GOP. Ninety percent of the 691 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 1: Senate GOOP hates his guys. They're never gonna lead the 692 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 1: Senate GEOP. So a guy like Mitch McConnell's about what 693 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get. And Mitch McConnell has been extremely effective 694 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: on something. So I'm not a McConnell hater. I mean, 695 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 1: his politics are not my politics. I think in a 696 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of ways, he is a big emblem of why 697 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: the GOP has failed. But the setting all that aside, 698 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a McConnell hater, I'm not. But during that 699 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 1: impeachment thing, the latest Shamon peachman, not the not the 700 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: previous Shamon peachment, the latest Shamon peachment, he made some 701 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 1: public statements blasting away, blasting away at Donald Trump, and 702 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean not being subtle about it either, like he 703 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: was when Trump was president. Just Trump caused this, and 704 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: Trump was this, and Trump was just blasting away and 705 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: you heard I came on the radio and said it 706 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 1: while he was doing it. I don't understand it. What 707 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: does Mitch McConnell gain from that. What does Mitch McConnell 708 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: gain from blasting the most popular Republican in the United 709 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 1: States of America. I couldn't wrap my mind around it. 710 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: And the answer was and is nothing. There is simply 711 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 1: not a single win, which is odd to me because McConnell, 712 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 1: while obviously, like I said, not necessarily Mike guy, is 713 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: very savvy. What what did he think he was gonna gain? 714 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: Of course, Donald Trump puts out along a long statement 715 00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 1: this weekend, just blasting Mitch McConnell, and I mean blasting him. 716 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: You want to hear this statement, you know what, I 717 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 1: might read you the whole thing. Give me a second, 718 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:23,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you Trump's statement. Your holster is way 719 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: more important than you think it is. It's just way 720 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: more important than you think it is. What Look, and 721 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: I get that the holsters not the sexy part of 722 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: carrying firearms. All right? You want to talk about your 723 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 1: weapon and your ammunition. You want to talk about your 724 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: safety training. I want to talk about how you did 725 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 1: it at the range. Oh look at my groups. I 726 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 1: was doing these failure drills today and all that stuff 727 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: is really important, I mean really really important. I'm not 728 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 1: discounting that, but I've known so many people who do 729 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 1: all those things. They take all the necessary steps and 730 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: then they carry with a holster they bought from a 731 00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,839 Speaker 1: big box hunting store that was made a thousand at 732 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 1: a time.
