1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. Should you

20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: murder your own brothers maybe cousins too? Do you think

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: that is a solution to your problems? Probably not right.

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: Probably horrified by the thought of it, I would certainly hope.

23
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: So hey, I welcome back to that. We've talked a

24
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: lot about the Roman Empire. Today, we are not talking

25
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: about the Roman Empire today. We're really talking about the

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire. But before we get clear to that, let's

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: begin with where exactly we are in the world. The

28
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Roman Empire reached its height after Christ after all the nonsense,

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: reached its height at one point where they controlled everything

30
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: in the Mediterranean. I mean, gosh, they were in Britain,

31
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: they were they were king dog And as empires do

32
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: you peak, they peaked, and thus began a slow, steady decline.

33
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Does not happen all at once. Sometimes it does, sometimes

34
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Depends on the circumstances. When it comes to nations.

35
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: If you've studied at all these empires who rise and fall,

36
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: some will be at their peak. I mean, it really

37
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: happened big time with the accumenated Persians. They were rocking

38
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: and rolling, and all of a sudden they're just freaking gone.

39
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: But in order to just be freaking gone like that,

40
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: you need an Alexander the Great who helps push you along.

41
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, the Persians were gonna be fine. They were

42
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: just gonna slowly, steadily decline, and people were gonna chip

43
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: away at him, and then all of a sudden, oh

44
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, there's this beast who cannot be stopped. So

45
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: if you're going to decline rapidly when you're a super

46
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: powerful nation, you really need another superpower to nudge you

47
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: along militarily most of the time, and the Roman Empire

48
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: didn't have that at this time. Eventually, the barbarians would

49
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: start chipping away at him, these these step tribes who

50
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: carts start swooping in. But at some point the Roman

51
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Empire splits right down the middle, well kind of right

52
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: down the middle, but becomes a Western Roman Empire in

53
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: an Eastern Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire would eventually fall.

54
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: The Eastern Roman Empire would pretty much completely remake itself

55
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: and rise again. You've maybe heard of the Byzantine Empire, Chris,

56
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. You've even heard of the Byzantine Empire.

57
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: That is the Eastern Roman Empire. That's an extension of

58
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: ancient Rome. They broke off. They didn't fall like the

59
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: Western Roman Empire fell. They remade themselves. They were a

60
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: nation that spoke Greek. They were a Christian nation. Much

61
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of the thing and many of the things you see

62
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: today when it comes to the church and various things,

63
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: really comes from this era. They were unquestionably the greatest

64
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: empire of that time, and they rose and that was

65
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, Constantinople. That's where what we're talking about today

66
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: modern day Istanbul, Turkey, if you're wondering where that is,

67
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: that became their capital, and it was supposed to at

68
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the height of the Byzantine Empire, supposed to be absurdly amazing.

69
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: They built a church there under orders that it be

70
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: the greatest church in the world and also be finished

71
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. I realize those two things can

72
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: be difficult. They finished the church and reportedly, I don't know.

73
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I can't speak to the accuracy of this. Supposedly the

74
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: church had the nails, Jesus was crucified within it, and

75
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: the cross itself. This thing was supposed to be awesome.

76
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: It still exists in Istanbul today. It's a museum. I've

77
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: never been there. I've never been a Turkey. I'd like

78
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: to go one day, maybe once he doesn't suck what Chris,

79
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: you can make fun of other countries. So the Eastern Rompire,

80
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Eastern Roman Empire arises, becomes the Byzantine Empire, and you

81
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: have this wonderful city called Constantinople. And part of building

82
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: up Constantinople meant doing this. It meant making the city

83
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: absolutely impregnable. And here's the weird thing about it. They

84
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: did for a long time. They built up walls, defenses,

85
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and the water played a key part of this. I

86
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: want you to do me a favor, if you're in

87
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: a place to do so. You know we do this sometime.

88
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: I want you to do me a favor and pull

89
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: up a map of Istanbul, Turkey, and what you'll see

90
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: is this. If you're not on a map, allow me

91
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: to explain it to you as best I can. All Right,

92
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: You've got Italy, all right. I say that because it's

93
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: easiest for people to understand, because everyone can picture Italy

94
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: that big cowboy boot. Now move to the right, move

95
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: east and you see Grease. There, You got Grease. See

96
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Just south of Greece, you have

97
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean. Obviously the Mediterranean. Now right to the east

98
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: of Greece is the Aegean Sea. If you keep cruising

99
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: northeast up through the Aegean Sea. You will see if

100
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: you're zoomed out on your map, it looks like it's landlocked.

101
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: It is not. Zoom in. Eventually you will find yourself

102
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: just southwest of the Black Sea. You will see Istanbul. Now,

103
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: zoom in on Istanbul on your little map. What is it?

104
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: It is not just a city on this little peninsula

105
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: connecting Europe and Asia. It is a gigantic gate. Look

106
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: at the Black Sea for me for a moment. Look

107
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: at all the nations connecting the Black Sea. Now, imagine

108
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: remember how big the trade is back in the day.

109
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Imagine you want to sail a ship from anywhere in

110
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: the world and get it through the Black Sea. Where

111
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: are you passing through Istanbul? It is not only the

112
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: connection with that little straight between Asia and Europe. It

113
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: is a major trade route. It is, as I said,

114
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: controlling the gates of trade. So they very wisely set

115
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: up their capital city here. For defied it and the

116
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: empire arose. It's not as if the Eastern Roman Empire,

117
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: the Byzantine Empire just exists. They didn't kind of limped

118
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: along for a few years. No, no, no, no. They

119
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: remade themselves in their own distinct culture with a lot

120
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: of Roman influence and rose dominant dominant power. We'll do

121
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: a ton of things on them one day, but again,

122
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: empires rise, in, empires fall. All of them. We are

123
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: no exception, which brings us to the fourteen hundreds, specifically

124
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: the fourteen fifties. Now, remember the Byzantine Empire was doing

125
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: just fine for a long long time. We're talking the

126
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: year three ninety five to fourteen fifty three. So I

127
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: don't mean to just sweep right through them. If it's well,

128
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: they were a little blip on the radar. Any American

129
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: in their mine would happily sign up for in a

130
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: thousand year empire right now, that's how long they lasted.

131
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: So I'm browsing. I'm just breezing right past them today

132
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: as if they're nothing. They were not nothing. They were major, major,

133
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: But an empire is beginning to rise in the east.

134
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Hang on, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly show. You're welcome.

135
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: I know what you go through at night when you

136
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: can't sleep. I have been there, and people who can

137
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: sleep will never fully get what it's like to not sleep.

138
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: How the days blend into each other, how you progressively

139
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: get worse and worse and worse. At some point in time,

140
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: you get physically sick because your body's not getting the

141
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: rest that needs. It takes the life out of you.

142
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Literally takes the life out of you. Stop. There's a

143
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: solution out there. I've been telling you about it for

144
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: a long time, and it's EBB sleep by, one of

145
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: these things you can try at risk for you for

146
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: sixty days. It's a wearable device that will calm those

147
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: thoughts down and put you asleep and keep you asleep.

148
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: Go to try ebb dot com slash jesse. That's try

149
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: ebb dot com slash jesse used to promo code jesse

150
00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: for twenty five bucks off start sleeping. An empire is

151
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: rising in the East as the Byzantine Empire is crumbling.

152
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: And this, this crumbling of the Byzantine Empire was a

153
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: long time coming. Didn't happen overnight, happen the way all

154
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: kind of empires crumble slowly over time, internal rot, lose

155
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: a little territory here, get a bad ruler or five. Here.

156
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Europe is ripping each other. They're ripping each other to

157
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: shreds right now. This is the era of the Crusades

158
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: and the popes and kings. You have insane kings. I'll

159
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: do a whole show on him one time. Charles the

160
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Glass or Charles the mad, whichever way you want to

161
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: put it, actually thought he was made of glass. Legitimate

162
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: mental illness, speaking of which we're going to get to

163
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: one of those here in just a couple of minutes,

164
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: but legitimate mental illness. As the king of a nation,

165
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: can you imagine what would happen to a nation and

166
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire in the east rises. The Ottoman Empire

167
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: is a Muslim empire. Now that matters to a lot

168
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: of people today, But believe me when I tell you

169
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter even a fraction as much today as

170
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: it meant back then. This was the era when men

171
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: believed you arm everybody in society and you go die

172
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: if that's what it takes to take back this holy

173
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: city or that holy city. Wars were wholly religious wars

174
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: back then, sometimes at least that's how they were sold.

175
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, lots of these wars. We gotta

176
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: take this back for Christ, We have to take this

177
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: for all. It's weird how many kings and sultans ended

178
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: up a lot richer after these whole things not that

179
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying anything. Be real, real careful. This is a

180
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: quick side note. Be real careful how things are sold

181
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: to you. Tell me if that sounds familiar at all today.

182
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Be very careful how movements are sold to you. Oftentimes

183
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: that's not really what they're selling anyway. So this empire

184
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: rises in the East, and the Ottoman Empire is rising

185
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: as Europe is crumbling and ripping each other apart. And

186
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire is a hungry, hungry empire of conquest.

187
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: This is not an empire that just wants to sit

188
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: down and have their Muslim country here and be left alone. No,

189
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: they believe they are supposed to own it all, so

190
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: they begin to slap around everybody. They begin to push

191
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: into Europe. Europe can't really do much about it at

192
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: this time because there's not one power that can take

193
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: on the Ottoman Empire. Yes, they could all join up

194
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: and fight off the Ottoman Empire, but the problem is

195
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: when can Europe ever join up. They'll join for a

196
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: year or two, and then somebody will offend someone else's

197
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: daughter and then they're killing They're always fighting each other

198
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: all the time. That didn't get That didn't get invented

199
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: with World War One. By the way, why do you

200
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: think Washington was so adamant about staying of Europe's wars

201
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: in his farewell address that's a little ways before World

202
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: War one and two. He was all these freaking Europeans

203
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: man are always going at each other for some reason.

204
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: Just stay out of the whole thing. And the Ottoman

205
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Empire sets its sights, as you can imagine on Byzantium now.

206
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: By now, the Byzantine Empire pretty much is Byzantium. There

207
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: is no more wide control. They own a little of this,

208
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: a little of that. They have this great fortified city,

209
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: but they don't have really any money, they don't have

210
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: the troops. All they can do now is basically be

211
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: a vassal state to the Ottomans, and the Ottomans get

212
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: this nineteen year old kid take over as sultan, and

213
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the whole of Europe takes a little sigh of reliefs,

214
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: convincing themselves this nineteen year old kid is gonna be

215
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: an idiot. He's gonna be what a nineteen year old

216
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: kid usually is. Only here's the problem. Oftentimes it's not

217
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: an age thing. There are plenty of nineteen year old

218
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: kids who are extremely capable, smart human beings. And this

219
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: nineteen year old kid who took over the Ottoman Empire

220
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: happened to be Memed the Second. Memed the Second spoke

221
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: like seven languages at the age of nineteen. It's not

222
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: some immature snot nosed a little brat. This was an

223
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: extremely capable human being. Now, which brings us to the problem.

224
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: An interesting problem, as they say, hindsight is twenty twenty.

225
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: The Byzantines, they don't have any money. They don't have

226
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I mean they've got enough. They

227
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: certainly don't have enough money for military conquests and things

228
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: like that. You're at this point, you're just trying to

229
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: have enough troops to defend yourself and maintain your empire,

230
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: maintain some order. And so an engineer approaches the big

231
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: cheese Constantine the eleventh. He's the head of the Byzantine

232
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Empire at this time, and this engineer approaches him and says, hey,

233
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I have something you might be interested in, and Constantine says, well,

234
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear it. I'm making up this whole conversation,

235
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: by the way, And the engineer says, how about a

236
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: big fricking gun. Now there are cannons already in existence.

237
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: I understand that there are cannons in existence. And Constantine says, well,

238
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: what do I want with a big gun? And this

239
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: guy says, no, no, no, no no, you don't understand. I

240
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: have a big, big gun, a big cannon that will

241
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: shoot a cannon ball that weighs a ton, and it'll

242
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: shoot it a mile. It's hard for us to wrap

243
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: our minds around that. But that is so much bigger

244
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: than anything in existence at that time. And Constantine says, thanks,

245
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: but no, thanks, What use do I have for a

246
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: canon of that size. Well, you're an engineer. You've spent

247
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: some serious time and hard work designing this super weapon.

248
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: If Constantine the eleventh says no, do you think you're

249
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: going to go back to your little shop and say,

250
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: well it was a good shot, I guess my million

251
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: dollar ideal or just have to go to the ash

252
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: heap of history? Or do you think you're going to

253
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: go looking for another buyer? Yeah, he went looking for

254
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: another buyer. Guess who decided he was a buyer. The

255
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: engineer finds himself in front of Memed the second says, hey,

256
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: look at this thing. Memed the Second says, oh, yeah,

257
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: do they come in bulk. And eventually you find yourself

258
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: as Constantine the Eleventh, facing down the very guns you

259
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: refuse to purchase because Memed the Second decides he's gonna

260
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: go ahead and take Byzantium. Constantine the Eleventh is asking

261
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: Europe for help. Europe says, oh, we'll pray for you.

262
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: They began knocking down your walls. Now here's something you

263
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: do need to know. If you're rooting for the Byzantine Empire,

264
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: which many of my listeners will, because it's human nature.

265
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: You root for who you view as your team. Right.

266
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure my Muslim listeners are probably rooting for the Ottomans,

267
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: my Christian listeners are rooting for the Byzantines. That's that's

268
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: how we view history, and that's human nature. You don't

269
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: have to feel bad about that. I used to watch

270
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: the major golf tournaments with my dad when I was

271
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: a kid, and we weren't golf freaks. But anytime you

272
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: can spend with your father as a kid, you treasure

273
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: and he's watching, you know, the PGA, the US Open,

274
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: And I'd always asked my dad, Dad, who are we

275
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: rooting for? We're rooting for the Americans. That's that's all

276
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: there is doing. We root for Americans. Screw those Europeans,

277
00:21:31,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: screw the Japanese, we root for America. Hang on. So

278
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: they pull out the old mega cannon against these formerly

279
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: impregnable walls of Constantinople. And yeah, those walls are all

280
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden very pregnable. Is that a word, Chris, impregnable?

281
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: There should be a pregnable, right? Is that? I didn't

282
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: just say a dirty word, is it? It might be dirty?

283
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not saying it again. I'm not saying

284
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: it again, but you know what I mean. This thing

285
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: hammerhouses those walls. And it's not one of those scenarios

286
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: where you think you pull out the big guns and

287
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: it just bounces harmlessly. Oh no, the walls crumble in

288
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: one day, a big part of the wall gets exposed.

289
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: But met the second orders his troops in only understand

290
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: this if you're a fan of the Byzantine Empire. This

291
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: siege does not make them look bad. They fight off

292
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: the guys who try to fight through and build the

293
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: wall back overnight. Now they didn't build up the wall

294
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: as it looked before. That's a major construction project. They

295
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: would do things like take all the rubble from the

296
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: crumbled wall, stack it, and then put a bunch of

297
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: cloth and wool and things in it, so when they

298
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: shot it again with a cannon, it would dull it

299
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't explode. You know, when it hits a

300
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: soft surface, it helps. And this continued, day after day

301
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: after day. The Ottomans would shell a section of the wall,

302
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: it would crumble. They would try to attack, the Byzantines

303
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: would fight them off like warriors, repair it overnight. Now

304
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm a mad. The second is not a man who's

305
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: just going to go away. He is also dealing very,

306
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: very very harshly with people he captures. He wants the city.

307
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: He wants it intact, he wants to make it the

308
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: capital of his empire. This isn't just a random city

309
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: like I told you before. This place is important. He

310
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: wants it. He wants it badly, so he keeps sending

311
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: in you know, people, hey surrender the city. Well, at

312
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: least let the women and kids live. He didn't even

313
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: pretend he was going to let the men live. I

314
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: mean a little look, the women and kids will be fine.

315
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: You well, no, not you not so much, they keep

316
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: saying no. In the face of certain death against this

317
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: massive army and their huge guns, they keep saying no. Mamed.

318
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: The second even goes and conquers a couple little mini

319
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: Byzantine forts, brings back the guys he captures and impales

320
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: them in front of the city walls, in front of

321
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: Constantinople or Byzantium, whichever you want to call it, the

322
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: same city. Even still, they say, so, remember that map.

323
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: Pull up your map again of Istanbul today. It's the

324
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: only way to search it. All right, Istanbul, Let me

325
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: see you here and pull up the map again. There

326
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: is What do you see when you look at that

327
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: straight there's a harbor, isn't there? There's a big harbor

328
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: in there now, Istanbul in order to defend it. You'll

329
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: see it's called the Golden Horn. If you're looking at it,

330
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: you'll see its Istanbul sitting there. There's a harbor. They

331
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: know they can't have somebody get on that side of

332
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: the harbor. You essentially can't allow the enemy ships in

333
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: the harbor, or you're going to be defending your city

334
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: from multiple sides and you won't be able to stand.

335
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: They can maybe muster the manpower to patch up the

336
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: walls on one side, you can't do it on other sides.

337
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: So they try to ram the auto and try to

338
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: ram their ships into this chain of ships that the

339
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Byzantines have set up in the harbor. They essentially set

340
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: up a big chain of ships so you can't get through,

341
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: because we know we have to hold this at all costs.

342
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: The Ottomans cannot get through that chain of ships, and

343
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: so they went home. No, they didn't go home. The Ottomans, again,

344
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: are not incapable dullard barbarians. They have some of the

345
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: most brilliant minds of the ancient world. Mamed the second

346
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: goes to his brilliant engineers and says, find a way

347
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: around it. The engineers come back and say, well, we're

348
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: not going to ram through the ships. Here's what we're

349
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: going to do. And in a construction project that I

350
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: would honestly have loved to see people pull off back

351
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: in the day with this level of technology, they laid

352
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: down steel rails and wheels and they simply sailed up

353
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: to the chain, then hold the boats on shore and

354
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: railed the boats, passed the chain and dropped them back

355
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: in the water. In the harbor on the other side.

356
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, Chris. I just when

357
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: I heard the story, I was like, wait, what, Like,

358
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: I can't even picture it. Maybe somebody's come up with

359
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: a picture of it somewhere. Long story short, they fall.

360
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: If you're wondering about Constantine the eleventh, to his credit,

361
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the man. Maybe he was

362
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: a great man, maybe he was a bad man. To

363
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: his credit, during the heat of the fighting, when the

364
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: city was falling, threw on his sword and threw himself

365
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: into the meat of the battle and was never seen again.

366
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: He went down. Now the Ottoman Empire takes over. Now

367
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: we're talking a couple hundred years past the Ottoman Empire.

368
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: And for this, I'm not going to apologize to you,

369
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: because you know I don't do that. But I should

370
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: note that we're a little ways into the show, and

371
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: I got distracted several times because all this stuff fascinates me,

372
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: and right about now we're just getting to the thing

373
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to talk about today. Sorry, Chris, what, Look,

374
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: it's all crappy news. I can talk about history if

375
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: I want. It's my show. Eight seven seven three seven

376
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: seven four three seven threes the number by the way,

377
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.

378
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: They throw themselves into it. Ottomans take over. They now

379
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: rule this place. They rule this place with an iron fist.

380
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: And they are a mega, mega empire, extremely powerful. And

381
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: they have one man in charge of the Ottoman Empire,

382
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: and he's always set up here in this city. And

383
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: the thing about the Ottomans is this. They're a powerful empire,

384
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: an intelligent empire, like I said, great engineers, wealthy, fascinating,

385
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: a great architecture. But they have this huge flaw that

386
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: they never seemed to be able to figure out. In

387
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: my word, you want to talk about flaws, it's really

388
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: really bad. They don't seem to be able to figure

389
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: out the whole succession thing. Now, there have been a

390
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: million stories of succession of the throne throughout history, of

391
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: backstabbing and murder. This guy wants to thrown and that

392
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: guy wants to thrown. But the Ottomans seem to have

393
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: actually perfected this dysfunction in a unique way. They would

394
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: just murder everyone. Every time somebody took over as sultan,

395
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: he would murder all of his brothers and cousins every

396
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: single time. And part of the reason it was so

397
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: rampant in the Ottoman Empire was this, they thought, remember

398
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: my question in the beginning about murdering your brothers and cousins,

399
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: the Ottomans swore, maybe not wrongly, The Ottomans swore, this

400
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: was actually the greater good. This was actually a mercy

401
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: to take over as king and kill all of your

402
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: brothers and cousins, because if you do not, then your

403
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: brothers and cousins will find armies, will find loyalties, and

404
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: will fight and understand for a long time, the Ottomans,

405
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe this was part of the problem. They did not

406
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: do the thing where the king would die and they

407
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: hand the throne to the oldest son. So you already

408
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: knew there was a line of succession. The king would

409
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: have tons of sons. The son would then be sent

410
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: out into the world. Why did they send them out

411
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: into the world. I'll explain it in a second. Is

412
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah?

413
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: That Jesse Kelly show. It's a dangerous world, and this

414
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: dangerous world has online criminals now, and we don't think

415
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: about it that way, right. We think about things in

416
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: a moral, old school way. A criminals somebody hold me

417
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: up at gunpoint once my wallet. In this day and age,

418
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: some of your biggest criminals out there is some computer

419
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: nerd in basement somewhere with powerful, powerful access to information,

420
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: your information. Did you know every single thing you do online,

421
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: everything your kids do, everything connected to the internet in

422
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: your home, a person at your internet service provider can

423
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: see it. That's right, even that private browser page. They

424
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: can see all of it. That should creep you out

425
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: if you knew the things people can do with that information.

426
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: Go to express vpn dot com slash jesse. That's Express

427
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: vpn dot com slash jesse. That gets you three months

Speaker 1: free on a one year package. Secure your Internet. You

429
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: get an autumn. And Sultan, he's a big cheese. He

430
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: has a harem, which we're going to get to in

431
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: a second. In fact, that's going to be central to

432
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: our story. Don't worry, it's not going to be dirty.

433
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 1: But part of a harem means you're going to end

434
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: up having children, several of them. When you have sons,

435
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: as an Ottoman sultan, you send them out to act

436
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: as governors to various parts of your empire for a

437
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons. One, you want people loyal to you

438
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: out there too. They need to learn how to govern,

439
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: They need to learn how to be in charge, which

440
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: was a really great system, except it didn't combine well

441
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: with the system of not appointing the oldest. Remember every

442
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: system has a given take. You can say, oh, that's good,

443
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: it's just the most capable, not the oldest. Well, how

444
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: do you think they decided the most capable once Dad died?

445
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: What do you think the sons who knew Dad was

446
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: going to die one day? What do you think they

447
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: were doing when they were out there governing the whole time. Well,

448
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: they were making sure it wasn't their heads going to

449
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: be on the chopping block when Dad died. So they're

450
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: creating political allegiances, creating military allegiances. Dad dies, we now

451
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: have a survival of the fittest situation yet again, and

452
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: we're all going to murder each other yet again, until

453
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: one guy emerges, and then the psycho repeats as he

454
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: gets his own harem and starts cranking out boys. You see,

455
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: not a great system. And so the Ottomans decided they

456
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: were going to start fixing this system. When one son

457
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: takes over, he's gonna slaughter everybody. He knows every relative.

458
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: Then we never have to worry about it because once

459
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: they take power, oftentimes the brother who didn't win would

460
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: just have his brother assassinated and then take power. So

461
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: now it was a system. You take power, you kill

462
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: all your brothers and cousins. Problem kind of solved. I

463
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: don't want to be mean here. I'm not trying to

464
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: be a bloodthirsty tyrant, but it did kind of solve

465
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: the problem. But it did make the people feel gross.

466
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: They were a religious people, and it made people feel gross.

467
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: Plus lots of times these brothers and cousins, they were people,

468
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: they were men. Some of the people followed, Right, if

469
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: you've got a city of one hundred thousand people, ten thousand,

470
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: we're with this brother, ten thousand, we're with that brothers,

471
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Well, if your guy loses

472
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: and your guy gets his head cut off, you're gonna

473
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: be a little bitter about that. So eventually they decided

474
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: they needed a new system. Well, here's the thing. I

475
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: just took power. I defeated all my brothers and cousins

476
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: and such. I can't murder them. But as history has proven,

477
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: the ones who didn't get murdered or just turn around

478
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: and plot my assassination. So I can't murder them. I

479
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: can't throw them in a dungeon. I can't. I can't

480
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: just let them roam around free either, So what to do?

481
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: What to do? Which brings me back to the harem.

482
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: The harem is an interesting thing in the Ottoman Empire.

483
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: It was part of I can't. I'm not gonna say

484
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: this right for screw you. I went to community college.

485
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: It's called top Cappy Palace. That was the main palace.

486
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be an absurdly beautiful palace. That

487
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: was the headquarters of the Saltan and part of the

488
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: palace was the harem. Now, part of the harem was

489
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: what you think it was, concubines and or wives. Oftentimes

490
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: those two worlds merged. That existed to make the king's

491
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: day a little better. That was part of it. That

492
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: was not all of it in the Ottoman Empire. In fact,

493
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: you can argue that's not even the main part of it. Yes,

494
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: there were slaves and eunuch and everything else, but it

495
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: was pretty much a college. They would take some of

496
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: the most beautiful women from around the empire, from all

497
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: the different cultures. They would take them into the harem,

498
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: but not necessarily for the king. Yes, some of them

499
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: for the king. But they would take this beautiful Russian girl.

500
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: They would bring her in because she's beautiful. And what

501
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: they would do is they would train her, they would

502
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: educate her. She'd be learning mathematics, she'd be learning philosophy.

503
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: And what they were doing was they were grooming beautiful women,

504
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: educating beautiful women to serve as wives for other powerful

505
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: men in society. If you're a big shot in Ottoman

506
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: society and you wont some dime who can actually hold

507
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: a conversation, you go knock on the king's door, the

508
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: Sultan's door, and you say, yo, I have got a

509
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: thing for Polish girls. What do you got? And they

510
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: have all these apartments as part of the harem of

511
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: women who had not been servicing the king. These are

512
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: women who had been educated. It was you're eating well,

513
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: you're educated. Well. It was actually a really great life.

514
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to defend the practice, but understand this.

515
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: If you were brought in as a slave girl for

516
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: the king, you wanted very much so you wanted to

517
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: catch the eye of the king. Once you had caught

518
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: the eye of the king, and he finished the job.

519
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: You actually rose in rank. There was a ranking system.

520
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: You were, for the most part, not abused. It was

521
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: the good life. You were putting on a little extra

522
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: lipstick in some heels. Hang on. Everybody remembers that horrible

523
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: story I told you about dropping my phone on the

524
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: bathroom floor, the public bathroom floor. It still gives me

525
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: the shivers thinking about it. But I had a bailout

526
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: that day. And it's a clean Phone Pro. You see,

527
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: a clean phone Pro gives you UVC lights that killed

528
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of the bacteria on your phone.

529
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: I don't have to dunk my phone in hand sanitizer

530
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: and ruin it. I don't have to shrug it off.

531
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: I can just disinfect my phone at any time. And

532
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: it's not just for people who dropped their phone on

533
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: a bathroom floor. Your phone is probably absolutely disgusting. Start

534
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: disinfecting it now. And then you need to go to

535
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: America Firstshop dot Com again. That's America First Shop dot Com.

536
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: Search the Clean Phone Pro there and buy one. And

537
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: oh used to promo code Jesse at checkout. You get

538
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: free two day FedEx shipping. Again. The life of a

539
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: Woman in the Harem, for the most parts, was a

540
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: great life. It was what you wanted. You wanted to

541
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: get snatched out of some crappy little village in Russia.

542
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: You want me to go to the harem, absolutely, sign

543
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: me up. Do you think the king will like my hair?

544
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 1: But there was another part of the harem as well.

545
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: This part. I'm sure there are examples of this in

546
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: human history, but I haven't found one. If you have one,

547
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: feel free to email me Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show

548
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: dot com. Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Again,

549
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are examples of this, but it's I

550
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: just find it really fascinating. They found a solution to

551
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: the well I can't kill my brother and I can't

552
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: set him free thing. The solution was a golden cage.

553
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Let's just keep him alive. We'll feed him well, but

554
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: we'll put him in solitary confinement in the harem with

555
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: a comfortable bed. But that that really creates some problems.

556
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: Hang up the Jesse Kelly Show. This is the Jesse

557
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. You see. The problem is the human mind

558
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: was created to need companionship. This goes way way back

559
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: to the Bible, even the Old testament with Jewish producer

560
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: Chris believes him God creates Adam. What's he say needs

561
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: a companion gives him Eve. The feeling of loneliness Rex

562
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: the human mind. I've told you before. I'm not gonna

563
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: tell it again. I think I just told it last

564
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: week about the reason marines create fighting holes with two

565
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: people instead of one, even though one would make more

566
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: strategic sense, because you don't want to feel alone when

567
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: it comes to children. Do you know that statistically a

568
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: child turns out better if it has a father stay

569
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: at home and abuse them. God forbid, I can't leave

570
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: people do that to their freaking little buddies, but and

571
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: abuse them rather than leave them. I'm talking about statistically,

572
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: how the child turns out if he leaves on his

573
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: own behalf. That feeling of abandonment, of loneliness recks a kid, Reshim.

574
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Solitary confinement has been used and is used by prisons

575
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: as a unique punishment, And isn't it amazing on the

576
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: outside looking in? I know some of you have had

577
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: this same thought. You're looking at this horrible prison, right

578
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: any prison, You're surrounded by some of the most violent

579
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: people in society, gangs, gang wars, stabbings, all the horrible

580
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: things that go on in prison, and they're scared to

581
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: death of being put in solitary confinement, and on the

582
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: outside looking in, it looks weird. I've always looked at

583
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: him and thought, well, that's exactly where i'd want to be.

584
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: I think, I just want to hang out by myself.

585
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: But they're scared to death because it's torture. They'd rather

586
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: be around rapists and murderers all day long than be

587
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: by themselves. It's horrible. And so what they would do

588
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: is you would create a golden cage, and you would

589
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: leave possible other successors to the throne by themselves or

590
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: essentially by themselves. You'd see other people bring you food now,

591
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: and then you do this to that. Before the most part,

592
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: you're alone. You're not out in the world like they

593
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: used to do, learning how to govern, learning human nature,

594
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: talking with this person, talking with that person. You're alone,

595
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: and oftentimes alone from a very early age, which brings

596
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: us to Ibrahim the first. He not only was alone

597
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: in this golden cage for avery from a very early age.

598
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: All four of his brothers were executed. Finally, Ibrahim under

599
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: the impression that he's about to be executed, finds out

600
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: or hears that the Sultan is dead, and now he's

601
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: about to be sultan. He is crazy by now, he's

602
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: so scared and insane. He doesn't believe that the Sultan

603
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: is dead, refuses to let anyone in, bars his door closed,

604
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: will not come out and accept that he's now the

605
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: sultan until his mother brings down the dead body of

606
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: the Sultan and shows him, look, he's dead. You really

607
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: are the Sultan. It's not a trick. Come out, and

608
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: this man takes over and he's a complete and utter disaster.

609
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: He has no ability to rule, He has no no

610
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: how he is in sane. His mother knows he's insane.

611
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: He has no heirs. So his mother encourages this insane

612
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: person to start spending some significant periods of time in

613
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: that special wing of the Aram. Might call it the

614
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: fun part of whatever. So he does. He starts producing sons,

615
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: and he starts to really fall in love with some

616
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: of the ladies in the harem, some of the slave girls,

617
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,959
Speaker 1: and fall in love. When I say fall in love,

618
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean giving them major positions of power in the country.

619
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: He would send out memos to the entire nation that

620
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: he wanted sable skins so he could create palaces for

621
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: them all covered in sable skins. One of his concubines

622
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: at one point came and told him that she prefers

623
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: to shop at night, not during the day. He sends

624
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: out a memo and makes every shop stay open twenty

625
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: four hours a day, as if it's seven to eleven.

626
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: The guy was just nuts. He does all the things

627
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: a crazy ruler does. He abuses people. You remember the

628
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: abuse I said didn't happen in the Harem, It started

629
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: to happen under him, raises taxes, alienates everybody, and in

630
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: maybe the craziest story ever that I'm going to have

631
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: a very difficult time telling Ibraheim. The first he had

632
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: a thing for big women. And when I say had

633
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: a thing for I mean preferred them big. And the

634
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: bigger the better. I don't mean a little extra junk

635
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: in the trunk. I mean the bigger the better. And man,

636
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: how am I going to tell this? I should have

637
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: thought about this before I got on there. He saw

638
00:48:53,560 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: a female cow one day, he saw the equipment of

639
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: the female cow. I know, Chris, Look I'm the one

640
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: that has to talk about it. Okay, do you think

641
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it over here? I'm relaying the story. He

642
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 1: decided he would prefer if he had a young lady

643
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: that possessed that. So he created a cast of that

644
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: part of the female cow, and multiple copies, by the way,

645
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: and sent these copies throughout the empire in search of

646
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: a woman who possessed similar equipment. He actually found one.

647
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: Apparently she weighed over three hundred pounds, which I understand

648
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: is big. I'm not judging to you if that's you,

649
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: but understand if you're somebody who weighs over three hundred pounds,

650
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 1: and this error era is not the Mickt's right next

651
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: door era. Nobody weighs three hundred pounds back then. But nevertheless,

652
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: he tracked one down, brought her in, and she proceeds

653
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: to basically have everybody killed, tells him one of his

654
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: ladies has been getting involved with an outsider. He has

655
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: all of them. I believe there were two hundred and

656
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: eighty tied up in sacks and thrown in the river.

657
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: Eventually he is deposed. He is executed. Now I circle

658
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: back again to my question in the beginning about the

659
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: brother murder. Obviously you don't need to be murdering your brother,

660
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: and I hope nobody ever does. But understand this, when

661
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: you face large scale problems as a society, here's the

662
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: hard truth of it, especially when those large scale problems

663
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: are entrenched, when they are rooted in your society, not

664
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: something surface, not something that comes and goes. When you

665
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: face something on a large scale, there's not a comfortable

666
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: way to have those problems removed. There's not a topical

667
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: ointment you can put on for a couple of days

668
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: and have those problems removed. Those problems have to be

669
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: cut out deeply. And when you cut out problems deeply,

670
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: it hurts. It hurts badly. But if the problem is

671
00:51:49,440 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: killing you, what choice do you have? Hang on Express VPN.

688
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: returns next. We are facing some insane times out there

689
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: right now. But you need to hear this. Part of

690
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: the reason we're facing insane times is one, we have

691
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: insane people in charge. In two, the insane people in

692
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: charge listen to other insane people for their policy feedback.

693
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this dollard on CNN

694
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: and understand this. This is on CNN. This is not

695
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: some wing nut that got listened to and dismissed. People

696
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: are hearing things like this and they're trying to put

697
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: in policies that affect you. Do you understand that the

698
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: word dismantle or police free also makes some people nervous.

699
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: For instance, what if in the middle of the night

700
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: my home is broken into who do I call? Yes?

701
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a

702
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: lot of my neighbors, and I know and myself too,

703
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: And I know that that comes from a place of privilege.

704
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: Because for those of us for whom the system is working,

705
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: I think we need to start back and imagine what

706
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: it would feel like to already live in that reality

707
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: where calling the police may mean more harm is done.

708
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: I can't. This is the great advantage the GOP has

709
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: over the Democratic Party. Now you understand how entrenched the

710
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: left is. We're going to go into all that here

711
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But the great advantage the GOP

712
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: has over the leftists is leftists are insane people. They're insane.

713
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: They're they're insane people. We are facing an election this

714
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: November where we're going to have millions still of people.

715
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna have millions of unemployeede people still because of

716
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: our lockdowns. No, no getting around that. Don't be don't

717
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: even try that with me. We're gonna have we're gonna

718
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: have had lots of civil unrest in the streets, probably

719
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: be cleaned up by November, but people are going to

720
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: remember it We're gonna be facing a situation where Donald

721
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: Trump should, by all accounts, have some difficulty being reelected.

722
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: That's just the nature of presidential elections. If the economy's down,

723
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: it's hard to get reelected. If there's chaos, it's hard

724
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: to get re elected unless Democrats nominate somebody who can't

725
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: form a complete thought and make part of their policy

726
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: platform eliminating police departments. People. Honestly, they are the greatest

727
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: gift the Republican Party ever had, because the feckless, ballless

728
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: Republican Party legitimately should have no place in power. They

729
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: never cut spending, they never do anything they promised to do.

730
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: Think how little they accomplished with the House, Senate and

731
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: presidency in the first two years of Trump's presidency. What'd

732
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: we get? We got a tax cut, no defunding Planned parenthood,

733
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: which they promise every campaign season. There's no expansion of

734
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: gun rights, no nothing. They got nothing because they're useless,

735
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: and so people should just toss them all out. But

736
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: until you're like, well, I mean I can't, I can't

737
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. These people are mad the world. He's

738
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: gone mad, and it's everywhere. It's everywhere. Headline UCLA professor

739
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: under police protection following threats. Do you want to know

740
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: why he was following threats? Why he or he was

741
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: following threats while he was getting threats? Shut up? Chris Us.

742
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: University of California, Los Angeles accounting professor Gordon Klein faced

743
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: threats of violence after he declined a student's request that

744
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: he delay a final exam in light of national unrest.

745
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: The university suspended the professor for three weeks beginning on

746
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: June twenty fifth, and launched a discrimination investigation into the incident.

747
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: Klein declined a request for comment, but a Malibo Police

748
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: Department spokesman said the department increased police presence near the

749
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: educator's home after Klein received multiple threats. A black student

750
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: asked him to try to scam out of finals, and

751
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: all the professor does, and look, he's a professor for UCLA.

752
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: I think we all know this is probably not some

753
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: card carrying conservative or something. All he said was no,

754
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to show up for finals, and he

755
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: gets death threats because of it. These people have lost

756
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: their ever loving minds. They have lost their ever loving

757
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: and you know what's amazing to me, nobody wants to

758
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 1: have this conversation, but we're about to have it here

759
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 1: because we have uncomfortable conversations on this show. There were

760
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: eighteen murders in twenty four hours in Chicago May twenty

761
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: ninth to May thirty first. In twenty four hours, eighteen

762
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: people were murdered, several times that were shot because apparently

763
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: nobody can shoot in Chicago. By the grace of God.

764
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: If we have an institutional problem with racism in the

765
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: police in this country, okay, fine, let's say I give

766
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: you that. Are we going to pretend the police or

767
00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: the problem in these neighborhoods? Are we really going to

768
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: do that? That is so stupid and illogical. I refuse

769
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: to believe that people actually believe that. That's like saying

770
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: I have two shattered legs and degenerative heart disease in

771
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: a broken pinky, and the pinky is my real issue. No,

772
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: it's an issue. It's one we need to address, but

773
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: that's not the issue, man. The Here's the thing, though,

774
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and it really is amazing to me people you do this.

775
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: I do this as human nature. When there's a problem,

776
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: especially a problem in your life and my life, you

777
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: go looking for someone to blame, and you keep looking

778
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: until you find somebody you don't like. The nearest person

779
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: you don't like is the one to blame for your problems.

780
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: What if it's your fault. What if it's your favorite

781
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: politician's fault. If there's a problem in the Minneapolis police department,

782
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: and there may be there, certainly, maybe that scumbag cop

783
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: was still on duty. Democrats have controlled the city of

784
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: Minneapolis for decades. If your city's police department has an issue,

785
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: you get that. Your city's police department is completely controlled

786
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: by your city's mayor and city council. Right, Donald Trump

787
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: is not responsible for the conditions of your crappy police department.

788
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: If it is a crappy police department. And here's the

789
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: most amazing thing that city councilmen of yours, he's easily

790
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: accessible to you. City councilmen are right in your neighborhood

791
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: every single day. You can go talk to him in

792
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: his office. You can address him at the local city

793
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 1: council meeting. You can probably talk to him at that

794
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: pancake breakfast you have where he slaps you on the

795
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: back and makes you feel important. If your city has

796
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: a bad police department, it's your fault. Hold your local

797
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: politicians accountable for their for their failures. Stop looking for

798
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: someone to blame when you've got a mirror right in

799
01:02:53,080 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: front of you, Paramount tax relief. You do not know

800
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing when it comes to fighting the IRS.

801
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not pointing fingers at you. I don't know either.

802
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm an amateur, so are you. I don't do this

803
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: for a living. Paramount tax relief does. If you owe

804
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars or more to the IRS, there's a

807
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: IRS while you're in the program. And do you qualify

808
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: for it? Oh, I don't know. I have no idea,

815
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: things are going well in LA. They've just announced they're

816
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: not even going to prosecute these rioters. We thought maybe

817
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: we should get some wisdom from our man in l

818
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: A host of the John Phillips Show on KABC. John,

819
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: So things are going well out there. Oh yeah, let

820
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: me tell you this, Jesse. I was golfing over the

821
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: weekend and they finally relax the well, so we don't

822
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask when we're golfing. But if

823
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you have to go to the bathroom or you have

824
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: to go to the clubhouse, they make you put it

825
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: on in the clubhouse. Said to the guy behind the desk,

826
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: I said, how about this. If I burned the clubhouse down,

827
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: can I avoid wearing a mask? We'll flit the difference.

828
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: Can you explain the suburb situation of Los Angeles? I

829
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: know that's a weird question, but I mean, in every

830
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: city it takes the same path. It seems like you

831
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: have the downtown actual city area which is always radical,

832
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 1: leftists and insane, and as people, especially people who get

833
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: families and gain the monetary ability to do so, they

834
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: spread to the burbs so they can still work downtown

835
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: and then get the heck out of downtown. Is that

836
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: the exact same situation in La Well, when I grew

837
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: up here. Downtown LA was a ghost town. No one

838
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: went there. It was just a place where people worked

839
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: and everyone lived in the suburbs, and the suburbs in

840
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: California just go on forever. In fact, I think Guam

841
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: is a suburb of Los Angeles. Now people drive two

842
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: hours sometimes to get to work, and that's just the

843
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: way of life out here. And originally it was done

844
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: because that's where you could afford to buy a house.

845
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: And now people just don't want any part of the

846
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: city and it just it's getting that way more every year.

847
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: This mayor in Los Angeles, what is Garciti? Obviously, for

848
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: those who don't know his name, what is his deal?

849
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Is he a politicians politician? Is he just some far

850
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: leftists who got put into office. I mean he gets

851
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: all the bad headlines. I don't know if he deserves them.

852
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: You're the one who lives there. But he seems like

853
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: an insane person from Afar. He's a strange dude. At

854
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: one point in time, he thought he was going to

855
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: be president and he was kicking tires on running for

856
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: president because he looked at the success of Mayor Pete

857
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: and that Democratic primary and he said, you know, he's

858
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: the mayor of Mayberry and I'm the mayor of Los Angeles.

859
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: That should be me getting all of the attention. But

860
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: it's really kind of an Oedipus complex with him. Don't

861
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: forget his dad was the da of LA who blew

862
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the oj case, who blew the Menendez brother's case, who

863
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: blew all of those famous cases in the nineties. So

864
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: he in many ways is it ran for office. I mean,

865
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: he's if you meet the guy, he doesn't come across

866
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: as being a politician. He comes across as being a

867
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: yoga instructor. And the fact that this guy is the

868
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: mayor of LA is the most shocking thing that you know,

869
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: most shocking profession that you can come up with. For him,

870
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: he's trying to write the family name. He's trying to

871
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: check all the boxes and do what he thinks he

872
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: should be doing. But he is the most ill equipped

873
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: person to lead the nation's second largest city. Okay, California itself.

874
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: John explain the politics of California. Is it really that

875
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 1: far left? Are there just a bunch of entrenched rich

876
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: people who are Democrats and one to appear left? And

877
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: I asked this because there are states like Arizona, and

878
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Arizona is not controlled by politicians. It's controlled by the

879
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: major donors. I know because I ran for office down there.

880
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Is it similar in California. California is a state that,

881
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: oddly enough, not that long ago, was pretty conservative. A

882
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 1: couple of things happened that's really changed the politics here.

883
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: One is, the Cold War ended, and people used to

884
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: get shipped in from all over the country to live

885
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: and work on our military basis, So we had conservative

886
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: people essentially brought in from all over. The aerospace industry

887
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: was also dominant, but after the Cold War ended, those

888
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: jobs left and went to places like Virginia and Washington State,

889
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: and the people who worked there left with them. So

890
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I said, Chili, we're left with Silicon Valley, Hollywood and

891
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the service industry. That, combined with open borders, change the

892
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: political climate of the state. So until some Republican industries

893
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: come back to California, we're going to be Brazil. What

894
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: does the United States of America look like ten years

895
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: from now? John, like California. You know, if they don't

896
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: do something about immigration, and they don't and and you know,

897
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: the tech industry and the service industry and all of

898
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: those industries are dominant, You're going to have a very

899
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: liberal country. I mean, that's just the way it is. Okay,

900
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: it's America, man, I hate to even bring this up

901
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: like this. It's America absolutely doomed. Can we reverse this

902
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: insanity of the country fracturing of the urban areas going

903
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: hard hard left, the rural areas, everybody fleeing there, going

904
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: hard hard right, the country, I mean, ripping each other apart?

905
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: Are we just is that inevitable? Or is there some

906
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: way a nation this size can turn that around. I

907
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: think that politics is something where there's an ebb and

908
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: a flow. Uh, you know, it's it's something that California

909
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: was once very very very conservative and very red, and

910
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: now we're very blue, and it's it's something that's constantly changing,

911
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: constantly churning. And I just think that that, you know,

912
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: other states will experience that same thing. I mean, you know,

913
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: not that long ago, the South was the was the

914
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: backbone of the Democratic Party, and you know, for a

915
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 1: long time now they wouldn't vote Democrat if their life

916
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: depended on it. And so I'm not I'm not someone

917
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: who's a doomsday sayer by any stretch of the imagination.

918
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,600
Speaker 1: But what needs to happen is Republican industries need to

919
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: come back to California or new Republican industries have to

920
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:08,560
Speaker 1: be created for California to come back. Because political socialization

921
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: is something that's been political scientists have been very consistent

922
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,640
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Your politics are determined by

923
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: your friends, your family, people you do business with. And

924
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: there are Republican industries and there are Democrat industries. Texas

925
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: is still dominated by Republican industries. So if you work

926
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: in the oil industry, or you work in defense, or

927
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: you work in one of those sectors, you are more

928
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: likely than not going to be a Republican. And tell

929
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: that goes away, that's the world that you know Texas

930
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 1: is going to live in. And you know, you guys

931
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: are fortunate in California. We're not that fortunate. But it

932
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: will change who what comes next after Donald Trump? For

933
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the GOP, whether that's twenty twenty or twenty twenty four,

934
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: is this a party that you think reverts back to

935
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: the more more of a reflection of Bush for that

936
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: twenty thirty year era, or do you think this new

937
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: kind of nationalist, populist GOOP is here to stay for

938
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: at least a while. I hope so. And there are

939
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: people who can bridge the divide too. You know that

940
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: elephant is certainly there. I mean, well, Ron de Santis,

941
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: I think, is someone who could theoretically do that. I mean,

942
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: you go back to the sixties and the Republican Party

943
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: had essentially two factions. You had the extremely liberal faction,

944
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: which Nelson Rockefeller led, and you had the conservative libertarian

945
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:40,919
Speaker 1: faction that very Goldwater led. Part of Dick Nixon's success

946
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: is Nixon was the guy who was able to bridge

947
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: that divide. And there are people out there who can

948
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: bridge that divide. I think Ron De Santis is certainly

949
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: one of them. I think that guy's a rock star. Yeah,

950
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: I agree. Plus he's in Florida and they have sweet

951
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: beaches there. All right, John of the John Phillips Show,

952
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend, you'd be gooin out there. All right. Hey,

953
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm playing golf this morning. I'll try only to hit

954
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: a couple of tuns later, buddy. It is it is

955
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: a shame, Chris, and I know I've talked about this before.

956
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: It is a shame that California is so insane because

957
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: people who've never been there do not fully appreciate how

958
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: gorgeous California is and how diverse it is geographically. I

959
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: mean those, oh gosh, the redwoods up north, the beaches

960
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: in the south. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous state with

961
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: perfect weather in so many places, and like locusts, the

962
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: freaking leftists have destroyed it all right, Chris, it's time

963
01:13:42,640 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: to discuss a man in his fish hang. When you

964
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: were a younger man or younger woman, have you ever

965
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: done something in your life so stupid and embarrassing that

966
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: your main worry is that your parents would find out

967
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: you did it, or that you would die doing it.

968
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: And that's like on your tombstone. These days, it's probably

969
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: recorded on Instagram. I was trying to take a selfie

970
01:14:53,640 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: hanging off a cliff. Oops. I think we he may have.

971
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: We may have a man here who wishes he died

972
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: doing it. However he did not. Headline doctors had to

973
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: surgically remove a dead fish from the rectum of a

974
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: male patient. A thirty year old man in China had

975
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: a whole fish remove from his erectum after he allegedly

976
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:30,520
Speaker 1: sat on it by accident. The gruesome footage shows removing

977
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 1: shows medics removing the dead blue tilapia from the patient's

978
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: body at a hospital. Now here's the problem this man

979
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: really really has. And it's not just the general size

980
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: and spikiness of the tilapia's dorsal fin, although I'm sure

981
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't doesn't feel very good. The problem this man has, Chris,

982
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: is this Nobody's gonna buy the set on it by

983
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: accident thing. Every single person in the world read that

984
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: headline and thought, oh, oh, I think I get it.

985
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I think I get what's happening here. But in a

986
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: panicky moment, in a panicky moment, he did the only

987
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: thing he could think to do in which is and

988
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: that's lie about it. But ask yourself, how much does

989
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: that guy wish he'd die? How much does that guy

990
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: wish he'd die? Now, I'm gonna go ahead and leave

991
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: that story alone for a second, because I have to.

992
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: I have to address something. It's been well, it's been

993
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: a while. I went to a lakehouse a few weekends

994
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: ago and it was fun. It was just a couple

995
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 1: nights that did a fairly barely ramshackle lake house. I'm

996
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: not made of money here, people, Okay, A good dinner

997
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: out as red lobster in my house. Please, but we

998
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: read this lake house. I don't think all the door

999
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: knobs were falling off and whatnot. Nevertheless, it was on

1000
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: the lake. And now, Chris, I want a boat. Don't

1001
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: shake your head. Why I realized they depreciate and boat

1002
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: stands for bail out another thousand. I've heard all the

1003
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: horror stories. Why what's wrong with it? Chris is probably

1004
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: right about the use it ten times and then get

1005
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: bored and they depreciate and they break down. And I've

1006
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: always been a huge, huge believer in renting your fun,

1007
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: not buying your fun. You you'll rent a jet ski

1008
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: for an hour and you're like, I'm gonna buy jet

1009
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: ski and then you use it again once every six

1010
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: months and it just doesn't working. But here's the thing

1011
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 1: about the boats. I've actually been in one that's sunk,

1012
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: and I still love boats. I'd ever tell you that story, Chris,

1013
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I've never told you that. All Right, So

1014
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: we're in Montana. I'm living in Montana at the time.

1015
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I remember I grew up in Ohio till I was ten.

1016
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Then we packed up moved to Montana. Montana is mountainous

1017
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: for the most part, the eastern part of the state

1018
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 1: has a bunch of planes in it. But it is mountainous,

1019
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: It is gorgeous if you've never been to Montana. Beautiful scenery.

1020
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: It's also wild. And when I say wild, I mean

1021
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: unless you're somewhere like Wyoming, you really don't fully understand

1022
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: what being out in the open and the country means.

1023
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm in Texas now, and even these Texans, much

1024
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: as I love it, they think they understand and what

1025
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 1: being in the country means. I've been in places in

1026
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 1: Montana in the mountains where there was not another human

1027
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: being for fifty sixty miles in any direction, at least

1028
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: in the middle of the wilderness. It's the fourth biggest state.

1029
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: There's only eight hundred thousand people in the whole state.

1030
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 1: It's wild, absolutely wild, and it's beautiful. And the rivers,

1031
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: and this is going to come into play here. The

1032
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 1: rivers in Montana are frigid. Why are they frigid Because

1033
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:39,799
Speaker 1: it's all mountains, snow in mountain glaciers that melts off

1034
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: in the summertime and filters down to the rivers. I

1035
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: have floated several rivers in Montana as young uns tend

1036
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: to do when you get some floaties and some rafts,

1037
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully you bring some women along and you go

1038
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: enjoy yourself down on the river. Little nature, little sunshine.

1039
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Not too bad, right, And I've never once been in

1040
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: a river where the water was in any way, shape

1041
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: or form pleasant at all. It's cold all the time,

1042
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 1: really really really cold. I was in that river one

1043
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: time in mountain warfare training in the Marine Corps. They

1044
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 1: made us get in it and stand in it just

1045
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: because of health of cold it was. And I got

1046
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: out and my body from the chest down was numb.

1047
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: I couldn't feel any part of my body. So it's

1048
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: fishing season in Montana. We get in a boat. Hang on.

1049
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: Absolutely sure your days are better. EBB. Sleep, make sure

1050
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: you're a better person mentally and physically. How does it

1051
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: do that? Well, it puts you asleep, and it keeps

1052
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,919
Speaker 1: you asleep. I'm sorry, I wish there was another solution

1053
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: out there for you non sleepers. Well, I'll just be

1054
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: fine on four hours asleep every night. You're not. That's

1055
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: not the way the human body and the human mind

1056
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: were created. You need a long, good night's sleep every night,

1057
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: or you can never achieve your maximum potential out there. Look,

1058
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: I know what I'm like when I don't sleep. I

1059
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: mean I'm nasty. I can't think, I can't speak clearly,

1060
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 1: I can't get thoughts from my brain to my tongue.

1061
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: It's just a disaster. Not anymore. You can try and

1062
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 1: EBB sleep risk free for sixty days. If the time

Speaker 1: to fish in this river, and what you do for

1067
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 1: you city types is depending on your boat level. You

1068
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: hop in your boat and you float down the river

1069
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 1: and you're casting your fishing poles out of the boat

1070
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: in the various fishing places. Now, the more seasoned pros

1071
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: do this really really smartly now where they'll have a

1072
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: little a little trolling motor and they'll float it down

1073
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: a river and the motor will have the ability they

1074
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: can kind of steer it while they're fishing. So you

1075
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: can do it by yourself. You can drop a quick

1076
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: anchor if you find a good spot. You can do

1077
01:22:53,720 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: all these fancy things. Now with these river boats, we

1078
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't have any money. We didn't have a river boat.

1079
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: We not only did not have a trolling motor, we

1080
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: did not have a motor of any kind. What we

1081
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: had was a small, two person fishing boat. And we

1082
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: had three people show up the fish, me, my father,

1083
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and a guy named Roy god Rest, the soul, wonderful

1084
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: human being. Well, that was problem number one. Problem number

1085
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: two quickly arose, hang on, this is a Jesse Kelly show.

1086
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. Now it's a two

1087
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: person boat. There are three adults who show up. And

1088
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 1: the problem is Roy is a normal sized adults, certainly

1089
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 1: not a small man. I am in my teenage years,

1090
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 1: but I'm not small. I'm I'm six two sixty three

1091
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: at this point in time. My father, I know this

1092
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: is not shocking, is six four two forty two fifty.

1093
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: So we hog in this boat. And here's the thing.

1094
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: It's hard. In our defense, it's hard to call off

1095
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: a trip like that. I mean, the river's not right

1096
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: next to the house. We all had to drive half

1097
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 1: hour forty five minutes to get out there. Your get

1098
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: up early, super early. If you want to go fishing,

1099
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: you fish in the mornings or you fish at night.

1100
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: You get all your fishing gear together, you get everything done,

1101
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: you get out to the lake and you're stuck with

1102
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: the boat that isn't quite good enough yet it was

1103
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Roy's boat. We didn't realize he didn't have a big

1104
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: enough boat. How many of you would have called it off?

1105
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to say, don't go? Would you

1106
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: call it off? Chris? Right? I mean who's saying, well,

1107
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't feel like this is safe. Plus

1108
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: your dudes, maybe women would be more inclined to do that.

1109
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: Men not so much. Our testosterone, our male pride is

1110
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: what it is. And unlike the rest of the world.

1111
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing for that. That's not an insult. It

1112
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 1: can be a great benefit. I can get your hurt sometimes.

1113
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 1: So you're staring at the boat, you know this is

1114
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: not a good idea, But never what do you do?

1115
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: As a dude? What do you do? Same thing that

1116
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: we did? We'll be fine. I don't what's the word. Look,

1117
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: it's not like we don't know what we're doing. I

1118
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: don't even have a motor. We're racing down a pretty

1119
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: fast river on a two person boat with three people

1120
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: in it and nothing but oars, and we all, we

1121
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: all get in caution to the wind. We all get

1122
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:50,480
Speaker 1: in the boat and there's maybe maybe five six inches

1123
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: of clearance between the top of the sides of the

1124
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,679
Speaker 1: boat and the river. We are sunk down into the river.

1125
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: We are sunk in, and off we go and we're

1126
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 1: fishing it up and we are keenly aware of the

1127
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: dangers out there. Because again, not every river is like this.

1128
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: But let me explain, Montana rivers, for the most part,

1129
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 1: are rock bottom rivers. Now again that makes them beautiful.

1130
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 1: They're not muddy. They're crystal clear, even in the deeps.

1131
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking crystal clear cold glacier water. I'm

1132
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: not a eating fish fan, as you well know, but

1133
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: if you're ever going to enjoy fish, that's the kind

1134
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: of fish you want to enjoy from some freezing cold

1135
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: glacier waters. It's amazing. But again, a rock bottom river

1136
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: comes with its own risks. There are rocks in Montana rivers,

1137
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: big ones that stick out of the water. Part of

1138
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,640
Speaker 1: the danger when you go whitewater rafting, which is a

1139
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,040
Speaker 1: pastime up there, a blast of a pastime which I

1140
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 1: highly recommend if you ever get a chance to do.

1141
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: Part of the danger is the rocks running into them.

1142
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: They're in the middle of the river, they're and slightly

1143
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: in the middle. They're on the right, they're on the left.

1144
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: You have to navigate your way around obstacles. But that

1145
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 1: wasn't our main fear that day, or I should say

1146
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: that shouldn't have been our main fear that day. You see,

1147
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:28,839
Speaker 1: it wasn't the rocks you could see that were our problem.

1148
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: It was the rocks you couldn't see underneath the surface.

1149
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: A rock you can't quite see coming because it's not

1150
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 1: sticking out of the water, but one that's hovering, oh

1151
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: three four inches below the surface of the water. Our

1152
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: boat is sunk down a foot foot and a half

1153
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:59,759
Speaker 1: beneath the water. We are racing downstream. The river's moving quickly.

1154
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Are you starting to understand the situation we're about to

1155
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 1: find ourselves in. Yeah, we are in the middle of

1156
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: this river. I would guess the river is probably a

1157
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 1: grand total of eighty yards wide. It's fairly wide. We

1158
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: are smacked dab in the middle of it, trying to

1159
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: stay off the sides, which are obviously, in general, the

1160
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: more shallow parts, and we don't see it coming. We

1161
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: are floating, you know, our side, our port side. Shoot,

1162
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put this the right way. The left

1163
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: side of the boat is facing downstream, the right side

1164
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 1: is facing upstream, so that tells you how we're doing it.

1165
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: The front of the boat's facing the shore, the back

1166
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: of the boats facing the shore. We're racing downstream and

1167
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:59,919
Speaker 1: we run into one of these rocks just underneath the surface.

1168
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: I kept telling you how fast the water is moving,

1169
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 1: so you would understand how fast this happens. The one

1170
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 1: thing you can't afford when your boat is barely floating

1171
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:16,879
Speaker 1: above the surface is to stop for any reason, because

1172
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 1: all that water coming behind you does not stop with you.

1173
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: We run into the rock. The rock stops the boat

1174
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:31,719
Speaker 1: for the briefest of moments, and like that rock stops it, boom.

1175
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 1: Boat is full of water, ice, cold, glacier water in

1176
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the river, and it gets better. It

1177
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 1: had been a slow day fishing for me, and I

1178
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 1: finally hooked one and it felt like a big one,

1179
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 1: and of course that was part of the reason we

1180
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: ran into the rock. We were moving the poles and

1181
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:57,839
Speaker 1: everyone around so I could reel in the fish, which also,

1182
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: I should mention, absolves me of any responsibility. I was

1183
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,759
Speaker 1: on fish duty. I was not on rock lookout duty.

1184
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 1: What Chris, I'm getting to that part. I hooked this fish.

1185
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 1: I've got him on boom. Boat sinks. Now, when a

1186
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: boat sinks, you have all your tackle all over the place.

1187
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: It's insane. Your tackle boxes are now racing down the river.

1188
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: You are up to your neck or your chest. That's

1189
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: about how deep the river was in Glacier water. We

1190
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: are all doing that like as the water is freezing

1191
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: type thing. We are now struggling to get the shore

1192
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: as the boat is unsalvageable now permanently sunk at the

1193
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: bottom of the river, and we're watching our tackle go

1194
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 1: racing down the river. We're taking And you know, a

1195
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: tackle box, If you're not a fisher person, you won't

1196
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: fully appreciate this. But a man's tackle box, it's not

1197
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 1: just something you bought, it's years of acquiring certain things

1198
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: go into your tackle box thing. It's like a CD

1199
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: collection was back in the day. I'm not yeah, I will,

1200
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go fishing for trout today

1201
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 1: in this river. Then I'm gonna go out and I'm

1202
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna grab whatever I need to go trout fishing. But

1203
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: that's one day. I don't throw away my tackle box.

1204
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,679
Speaker 1: My tackle box will be with me for twenty thirty years.

1205
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm trout fishing here, I'm I'm muskie fishing here, I'm

1206
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: bass fishing here. You have acquired things over years. I

1207
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 1: mean it gets to a point oftentimes you're going fishing,

1208
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to buy anything because you have years

1209
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: of not only stuff you've bought and acquired memories. You're

1210
01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 1: you're looking. It's hard to explain for someone who hasn't

1211
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,639
Speaker 1: done it. You're looking at at a lure, and you will.

1212
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 1: You will remember a legendary fish you caught with that lure.

1213
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: There is a sentimental value there for dudes. There is

1214
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 1: something something sentimental about a tackle box. And all three

1215
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: of us had ones we loved, and all three of

1216
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: us are watching the tackle boxes go racing down the

1217
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 1: river as we try to get the shore not drown.

1218
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: All right, hang on one second, I'll finish my story.

1219
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: We get to some headlines. Hang on, feeling a little stocky,

1220
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:55,479
Speaker 1: follow like a subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly DC.

1221
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 1: We all need sleep, every single one of us, and

1222
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 1: you're probably not getting enough sleep and I know why.

1223
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,680
Speaker 1: I see the same news you see. I deal with

1224
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: the same things you deal with. I lay down at

1225
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 1: night and I'm thinking about the fam. Everything went on

1226
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: that day, good and bad. I'm thinking about work. I

1227
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,640
Speaker 1: start thinking about the next day. And the truth is

1228
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 1: that makes it extremely difficult to fall asleep lots at

1229
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: the time. It just does. That's why you need an

1230
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 1: EBB Sleep. It's not pills either. Let's just clear this

1231
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: up right now. I've gone that route before. There's a

1232
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,839
Speaker 1: reason you pop a sleeping pill and sleep for nineteen

1233
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: hours and wake up still tired. It's not healthy sleep.

1234
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 1: It's not natural sleep. When you use an EBB Sleep though,

1235
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:46,639
Speaker 1: because it's a wearable device, it is natural sleep. Gotta

1236
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 1: try ebb dot com slash jesse. That's try ebb dot

1237
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: com slash jesse. Use the code jesse at checkout for

1238
01:34:55,680 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks off. I didn't die that day, what, Chris,

1239
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 1: you have to tell people what happened in the story.

1240
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 1: I did not die that day. I didn't make it

1241
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: to the shore, though, and I am very very proud

1242
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,680
Speaker 1: to say all the tackle may have been gone, the

1243
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: boat may have been gone, our pride may have been gone.

1244
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: But I got to that boat with my fishing pool

1245
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: still in hand and the fish still on the line,

1246
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: stood up, soaking, wet, freezing cold, stood on that shoreline

1247
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: and fought that fish with everything I had. Finally got

1248
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 1: him over by the shore in my line broke, not

1249
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 1: even kidding, devastating, evastated. I just I just sat down.

1250
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,519
Speaker 1: I just sat down in that moment, and because what

1251
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 1: else are you gonna do? Sitting there with a wet

1252
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 1: rear end, just devastated. Now, I want you to listen

1253
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 1: to somebody. I want you to listen to what he

1254
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 1: had to say. Tell me if any of this rings true.

1255
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: There are many whites who are trying to solve the problem,

1256
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 1: but you never see them going under the label of liberals.

1257
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: That that white person that you see calling himself a

1258
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western hemisphere.

1259
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 1: He's the most deceitful. He's like a fox, and a

1260
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: fox is almost is always more dangerous in the forest

1261
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 1: than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming, you

1262
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: know what he's up to, But the fox will fool you.

1263
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 1: He comes at you with his mouth shaped in such

1264
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: a way that even though you see his teeth. You

1265
01:36:53,280 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 1: think he's smiling. That was Malcolm X. I love that

1266
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: some people have seen the dangerous, deceitful, insulting nature of

1267
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 1: the white leftist. You know. Part of the reason we

1268
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 1: have so many of these horrendous government programs that will

1269
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 1: unquestionably bankrupt the United States of America. One of the

1270
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,640
Speaker 1: main reasons for all that is Franklin delanor Roosevelt. And

1271
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: if you look into the Roosevelts at all as fascinating,

1272
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 1: Teddy went through this too. Even though I love Teddy personally,

1273
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,520
Speaker 1: fascinating human being, he had the same kind of mentality

1274
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: of I am not going to be bound by laws.

1275
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 1: We are a wealthy, wealthy family, and these poor SAPs

1276
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 1: they need my guidance, they need my help. Here's all

1277
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 1: the things I'm going to get into office and do

1278
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:02,600
Speaker 1: for the people, because I know better. And it always

1279
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: ends in doune. Always one thing to keep your eye on,

1280
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,560
Speaker 1: one thing that's going to be very, very, very fascinating.

1281
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He opposes calls to defund the police, because,

1282
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 1: let's be honest, those calls are insane. To be a

1283
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Democrat politician these days has to be a very difficult thing.

1284
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, if you're Joe Biden, he's been around politics

1285
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: long enough to know he's not going to be elected

1286
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America without Russ Belt

1287
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: swing voters. That's who decides elections. Remember, it's not you,

1288
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 1: it's not me. It's not the hardcore leftists in California,

1289
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 1: voters in the swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,

1290
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 1: North Carolina, flo or to voters who voted for Barack

1291
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:05,839
Speaker 1: Obama twice and then turned around and voted for Donald Trump.

1292
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,639
Speaker 1: Those are the voters who will decide who the next

1293
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America will be. Remember,

1294
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is your president today and Hillary Clinton is

1295
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: not your president today because of fifty thousand votes spread

1296
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 1: across those swing states. That's all. The other numbers don't matter.

1297
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. That's a fact. I'm

1298
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: telling you. That's a fact. And Joe Biden, or at

1299
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: least the people on his team who have a functioning brain, no,

1300
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: we have to get those people. So Joe Biden knows, Okay, Yeah,

1301
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: defund the police is not something that's going to have

1302
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 1: support with anybody outside of the radical base of the

1303
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, it's ten percent public support. Maybe let's assume

1304
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 1: it's ten It's probably less than that. He knows that.

1305
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: But the reason it's got to be so difficult to

1306
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 1: be a Democrat today is that base is loud, and

1307
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:12,719
Speaker 1: that base is powerful. When you have major US cities

1308
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:17,520
Speaker 1: like the Minneapolis City Council declaring they're going to eliminate

1309
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: their police department, that's not a small thing. That's not

1310
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 1: just an online online phenomenon. People. That's a powerful, powerful thing.

1311
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: The leftist online rage mob is not without power. Joe

1312
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Biden knows this. What do you do if you're Joe

1313
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 1: Biden and your radical, insane base is demanding something, and

1314
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: they're powerful, and they can hurt you, and you know

1315
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: for a fact it's the kind of thing if you

1316
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: embrace it, it will cost you the presidential election. What

1317
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 1: do you do? What do you do? How do you

1318
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:14,679
Speaker 1: navigate that minefield? How do you manage that minefield? Something

1319
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 1: else that's happening in the country. The reason I see

1320
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: this fracture happening so quickly, Former New York politic, former

1321
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 1: NYPD commissioner claims six hundred officers are considering exiting the

1322
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 1: force We've seen this. We've saw a mass resignation in Buffalo.

1323
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: We see the cops in these big cities where their

1324
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 1: mayors are working against them, They're resigning. And why do

1325
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 1: I care about this so much? It's not just because

1326
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 1: I actually care about the cities like New York I love.

1327
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: I think it's reflective of the fracturing of America. You

1328
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:54,479
Speaker 1: know what Kansas is doing. Kansas's legislature just past emergency powers,

1329
01:41:54,560 --> 01:42:00,719
Speaker 1: legislation protecting the Second Amendment. Do you see what's happening.

1330
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is eliminating their police department. Kansas is entrenching the

1331
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Second Amendment even further. The country is racing in opposite

1332
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:16,839
Speaker 1: directions in these protests and the coronavirus lockdown or only

1333
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: accelerating these things. Falls do not happen all at once.

1334
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 1: But one day you do wake up and it was

1335
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,439
Speaker 1: only a fifty some day siege, I believe fifty four.

1336
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 1: One day you do wake up and the Ottomans are

1337
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 1: outside of the walls of Constantinople, and you you realize,

1338
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: oh wow, it's already here. I thought we had more time.

1339
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Why didn't we have more time? I don't like saying that,

1340
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 1: but I see how this country's going. Even the NASCAR

1341
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:04,800
Speaker 1: president said, our sport and country need to do better

1342
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: on racial injustice. Every football player, Adrian Peterson in the

1343
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 1: NFL has already announced his intention to neil for the flag.

1344
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: That'll be rampant across the NFL. Remember last time the

1345
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 1: NFL did that, the ratings for the first time ever,

1346
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 1: the untouchable NFL when it comes to ratings, ratings went

1347
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 1: into the tank for the first time ever because people

1348
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 1: don't want to watch. Oh, it's happening again. The NBA

1349
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 1: is coming back. Do you have any idea how insufferable

1350
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 1: they're going to be. And they're all doing this because

1351
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: they live, work, and worship in these big cities, and

1352
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 1: they're these major corporations, and this leftist radical basis so loud,

1353
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: and they think everybody agrees, only everybody doesn't agree. And

1354
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,160
Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're picking at the scab that

1355
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 1: America has right now, and you're just furthering the division

1356
01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: it's happening right now. You're looking at it. You remember

1357
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 1: what I told you about the lockdowns, how it was

1358
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: going to be the greatest transfer of wealth in the

1359
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 1: history of the United States of America. Out of the

1360
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 1: middle class. There are now articles out saying this is

1361
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:14,559
Speaker 1: the largest transfer of wealth ever outside of the middle class.

1362
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:16,600
Speaker 1: I told you that was coming, people, I told you

1363
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: that was coming. We are fracturing. Hang on, against my

1364
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: better judgment. Allow us to go to our regular at

1365
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 1: this time every Tuesday. The host of World News with

1366
01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 1: BK podcast former Air Force PJ BK. Let's just get

1367
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: it over with. You have some repulsive story you feel

1368
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 1: the need to destroy our audience with today. Well, yeah, Jesse,

1369
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: as you know on the podcast, I always like to

1370
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 1: finish strong, give a positive outlook on humanity. And I'm

1371
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: already I'm already starting this week. I already think I

1372
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: got the big finish. But the week is young yet.

1373
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: And this is, of course, the thirty year old man

1374
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: in China who had to have a dead fish removed

1375
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 1: from his rectum after he big air quotes here sat

1376
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: on it by accident. Quote. You know, we talked about

1377
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,879
Speaker 1: this briefly earlier in the show. And call me crazy,

1378
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: b K. I believe it. I'm going to say I'm

1379
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: a little suspicious and I have noticed that every time

1380
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 1: one of these guys get something stuck in their backside,

1381
01:45:55,760 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 1: it's always by some one in a bazilion accident. Jesse shocking.

1382
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 1: You know, you wouldn't think that would happen, But I

1383
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:10,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, Now we have the elimination of police

1384
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:15,280
Speaker 1: departments one, do you actually believe that it will happen anywhere?

1385
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean this Minneapolis City Council they have a veto

1386
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 1: proof majority. It sounds like they're pushing forward. Do you

1387
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: believe it will happen if you do? What does it

1388
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: look like? Okay? So I don't really believe it's going

1389
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: to happen. I think the whole slogan and I'm seeing

1390
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 1: a lot of pushback an already because they're chanting like

1391
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 1: defund the police, abolish the police. All right, First of all,

1392
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:38,559
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. And I don't think people

1393
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:42,559
Speaker 1: really realize how police unions work. And a great example

1394
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 1: is out here in Los Angeles, which I've been keeping

1395
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 1: an eye on. So stupid Mayor Eric Garcetti, right, he

1396
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: just proposed a massive increase to the police budget before

1397
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,439
Speaker 1: all the riots happened, and I had to go look

1398
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 1: it up because the dishonest LA Times and their lie

1399
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: of omission doesn't give you a dollar out. But Garcetti

1400
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,880
Speaker 1: proposed increasing the LAPD budget from one point one nine

1401
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: billion to one point eight six billion. That's a huge number, right,

1402
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 1: So then he comes out and he says, oh, I'm

1403
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 1: gonna cut one hundred and fifty million, but that's just

1404
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:19,839
Speaker 1: from the increase. So the net increase Jesse is still

1405
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,599
Speaker 1: six hundred and ninety million dollars. And this is something

1406
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:26,919
Speaker 1: that politicians do all the time. They take a scheduled increase,

1407
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: they cut a little bit from the scheduled increase, and

1408
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 1: then they proudly announced their cutting spending. Okay, so that's

1409
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:36,559
Speaker 1: you have to know. They do that all the time.

1410
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: And the unions, for their part, they're a little dishonest too,

1411
01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:41,640
Speaker 1: because you know, Garcetti comes out and says I'm going

1412
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: to cut one hundred and fifty million, and the unions

1413
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 1: starts screaming like what, we can't be expected to police

1414
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: the streets that way. And it's like they leave out

1415
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 1: also that they're still getting seven hundred million dollars more

1416
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 1: than they did the previous year, do you know what

1417
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying? So the police unions, if you want to

1418
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: have a talk about reigning in the power of municipal unions. Jesse, Hey,

1419
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready to have that talk. But let's talk about

1420
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:06,799
Speaker 1: every municipal unionique US, including the teachers unions, the government

1421
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,639
Speaker 1: workers and all that. Because police unions if you want

1422
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 1: to if you don't do what they if you don't

1423
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,160
Speaker 1: want to play ball, they're gonna rally their troops and

1424
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: vote against your competitor, the politicians. So I really don't

1425
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 1: see it happening. B K. Why be a big city

1426
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 1: cop anymore? I genuinely do not understand it. Man. Is

1427
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 1: it an adrenaline junkie thing? Is it an action thing?

1428
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,800
Speaker 1: Because I have to be honest, if I committed my

1429
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: life to service like that, if I was in law enforcement,

1430
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 1: and look, a lot of that is adrenaline stuff. That's

1431
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: just the nature of the beast. People don't like to

1432
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:39,559
Speaker 1: admit it. Man, I'd be in the burbs somewhere. Yeah, yeah,

1433
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I was. I have gotten some

1434
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: messages a very good friend of mine that I used

1435
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 1: to contract with, the former Army ranger, right war veteran,

1436
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 1: decorated war hero, and he became a cop in a

1437
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:54,919
Speaker 1: big city police department in Texas, and he was texting

1438
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:56,680
Speaker 1: me and he says, and I asked him, I'm like,

1439
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:58,959
Speaker 1: what do you think is the problem with the cops?

1440
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,280
Speaker 1: Like these cops, Like why would some guy just stand

1441
01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: there and like choke a guided death and whatever. And

1442
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: he's like, you know what, it starts at the academy.

1443
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:09,519
Speaker 1: These guys are not equipped to handle adversity very well.

1444
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: It starts in the academy and it trickles down into

1445
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 1: their field training officers. And yes, you do have some

1446
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,559
Speaker 1: bad ones and that's where it all starts. He's like,

1447
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 1: I've had to tell guys. He the guy who was

1448
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 1: in Iraq, you know, surrounded by jihadists has had to

1449
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: tell cops to settle down and pull them off dudes.

1450
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:28,839
Speaker 1: And you know, there are there are some bad police.

1451
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Jesse, according all

1452
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: the polls I was just doing this story on the

1453
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: podcast last Saturday, cops are popular. People like the police,

1454
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:40,599
Speaker 1: and that's like the dirty little secret right now. They're

1455
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 1: twice as trusted as the media as an institution, and

1456
01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:47,919
Speaker 1: they're five times more trusted than Congress. So people like cops.

1457
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't see how far this

1458
01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: is gonna get. And they're already starting to panic. I

1459
01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:55,759
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw in Chicago, but they're basically

1460
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:58,120
Speaker 1: on a conference called the Mayor with a bunch of

1461
01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:00,559
Speaker 1: aldermen there because they just got like all kinds of

1462
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 1: stuff burned down, and all these people, all these alderman

1463
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 1: in Chicago are screaming to the social justice warrior mayor,

1464
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: like you let all of our stores burn down. We

1465
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: have nothing here, and they're like really panicking now, Jesse.

1466
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 1: So I think the reality is starting to set in

1467
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 1: a little bit. What if we went back to a

1468
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:23,760
Speaker 1: Greek model of city states. It's intriguing. It's intriguing, you

1469
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: know what. I will say. I don't really know what

1470
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 1: the answer is With the police. I do think if

1471
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:30,640
Speaker 1: you're a good cop, I think the body camera is

1472
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:34,439
Speaker 1: actually should be a helper to you, you know, because

1473
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: if you're doing the right thing and somebody's filing charges

1474
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 1: against you, complaints on you, you're going to have that camera.

1475
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:42,360
Speaker 1: So I mean I would want my camera and all

1476
01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 1: the time. Personally, so the guys who are complaining about

1477
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 1: the cameras, that's usually like a red flag to me,

1478
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 1: like maybe you're doing something you're not supposed to be

1479
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 1: doing because if you're a good cop, you want that camera.

1480
01:50:52,160 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: I would want it. It's funny you bring that up,

1481
01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: because when I initially heard these everybody, every cop needs

1482
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: a camera proposal, I was totally against it, and then

1483
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: I got to thinking, wait, it's the only thing that

1484
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:05,640
Speaker 1: exonerates these guys from crap charges all the time. My

1485
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: only issue with it is this b K and there's

1486
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 1: nothing that can be done about this. There's an accusation

1487
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: out there, almost always one of racism, and it'll catch fire.

1488
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: It'll be across every headline, every social media post. Everyone

1489
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 1: on the left and half the virtue signaling losers on

1490
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,520
Speaker 1: the right will be talking about this cops the scumbag.

1491
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 1: And then two months later, the bodycam video comes out

1492
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 1: showing the guy did nothing wrong, won't make a blip

1493
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,560
Speaker 1: on anyone's radar, and it moves along and his reputations

1494
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 1: trash anyway, right, you know, and they should they should.

1495
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: The one thing I have most you're doing is they're

1496
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: releasing that bodycam footage a lot sooner than they YouTube now.

1497
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 1: It's like a matter of a day or two, not

1498
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: like two months. I mean, frankly, Jesse, if we're wearing bodycamps.

1499
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 1: I would want one facing outward, and I'd also want

1500
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 1: one facing upwards to me so you can see the glory.

1501
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:58,680
Speaker 1: Can the bicep muscles? Jesse? Are you kidding? Met the

1502
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 1: ap veins? Stop sending me pictures, by the way, stop

1503
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 1: sending me pictures. Just so everybody knows. B K sent

1504
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,720
Speaker 1: me a shirtless workout picture before he got on the

1505
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:09,960
Speaker 1: air today saying he's ready to come on the air.

1506
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:16,120
Speaker 1: Stop sending me picture or I'm blocking. I'm blocking, Jesse.

1507
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:22,639
Speaker 1: There's so much ugliness in this world. Off granite carved body,

1508
01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 1: all right, b K? Quickly? Is there anything going on?

1509
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 1: And internationally we need to know about well, the troop

1510
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 1: cuts in Germany. I've been tracking that the US is

1511
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 1: proposing a draw down of a third of our troops,

1512
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,040
Speaker 1: which I think it translates from it's about ten thousand

1513
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: troops going for like thirty five and twenty five thousand,

1514
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 1: and I'm keeping on that one. Predictably, everybody's freaking out

1515
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:49,080
Speaker 1: about it, forgetting that we used to have hundreds of

1516
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 1: thousands of troops in Germany and we haven't for a

1517
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: long time. So I am keeping an eye on it,

1518
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 1: though we'll be curious to see if that actually goes

1519
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,080
Speaker 1: through or if Congress puts a stop on that one one.

1520
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: I'll be watching it. I'm not sure what the big

1521
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 1: deal is. It's not like we've ever had any problems

1522
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:07,679
Speaker 1: with Germany anyway. I know, Jesse, you do anything there

1523
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: and now every starts screaming Putin. You know, Vladimir Putin,

1524
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,720
Speaker 1: this is what Putin wants. And I'm like, okay, you

1525
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: know you can't even that's the biggest Jesse. I can't

1526
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:19,840
Speaker 1: even talk to people anymore. You can't explain ray statistics,

1527
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 1: police statistics. You can't explain how a few times cops

1528
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: actually shoot an unknown person out of the millions and

1529
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 1: millions of interactions they have every year, because it's like

1530
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 1: these people are just as a religious frenzy. Now you

1531
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,920
Speaker 1: can't explain it. I'm not even trying anymore, honestly, because

1532
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:38,280
Speaker 1: it's just like people don't want to hear it. Host

1533
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 1: of World News with BK appreciate you, my friend. Thanks Jesse.

1534
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 1: I think such an idiot. If he sends me one

1535
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 1: more picture, Chris, I'm gonna lose my mind. Oh boy,

1536
01:53:53,160 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 1: all right, we have had enough controversy on today's show. Ris.

1537
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: We've had enough controversy, We've had enough bringing up uncomfortable things.

1538
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:08,599
Speaker 1: So we're going to do something here in this last segment,

1539
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 1: we're going to set all that controversial stuff aside, and

1540
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Confederacy. We are across

1541
01:54:54,240 --> 01:55:01,440
Speaker 1: this nation removing anything in everything that ever had to

1542
01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 1: do with the Confederacy or the South. They're removing a

1543
01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 1: plaque that honored soldiers in the Confederacy from University of Alabama.

1544
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 1: I just saw Deshaun Watson, our own Deshaun Watson and

1545
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins are calling for the removal of John Calhoun's

1546
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:25,560
Speaker 1: name from some special college in Clemson. I'm looking at

1547
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: this is obviously way before the Confederacy or the Civil War.

1548
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:33,320
Speaker 1: Missouri students demand removal of racist Thomas Jefferson statue. So

1549
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 1: on and so on and so on. I'm gonna hit

1550
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 1: you with a couple of things that are undoubtedly going

1551
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 1: to get me in trouble. I don't care it's times

1552
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: somebody said it. If you're blaming the Civil War for

1553
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 1: your problems, I think maybe you need to keep looking

1554
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 1: for who to blame. That's one. Two. People love to

1555
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 1: simplify things because It makes things more palatable, It makes

1556
01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: things so much easier to consume and define. What have

1557
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: you learned from all this time listening to these various

1558
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:31,280
Speaker 1: things we've tackled, these various parts of history, battles, rulers,

1559
01:56:32,080 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 1: insane people. Have you not learned? How complicated things are?

1560
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:48,080
Speaker 1: You like to simplify things to be frank? World War Two,

1561
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:53,040
Speaker 1: the fight against the Nazis is one of the only

1562
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:55,920
Speaker 1: simple conflicts I can even find in the history of

1563
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: the world. Okay, that's clearly the freaking bad guys. There's

1564
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 1: wattering millions of Jews. Those are the bad guys. The

1565
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 1: guys opposing them are the good guys. Oh wait, the

1566
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 1: Russians row. Do you see what I mean? It takes

1567
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:24,720
Speaker 1: a moron or somebody just being lazy to look back

1568
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:33,880
Speaker 1: at something like the Confederacy and say, well, obviously, Nazi racists, buddy.

1569
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: Slavery is an evil scourge. It's a shameful, shameful part

1570
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 1: of our history. However, it's also the history of virtually

1571
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 1: every single nation in the history of the world. Slavery

1572
01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 1: is part of human history. Yes, it's an ugly problem.

1573
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:01,760
Speaker 1: I wish we'd never ever done it, but We're also

1574
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 1: not unique. It's a problem everybody's faced at one point

1575
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 1: or another. That's one. Two. The Confederacy, we are talking

1576
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 1: one percent owned slaves. It was a bunch of rich

1577
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 1: people owning slaves and then a bunch of poor people,

1578
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 1: bunch of poor white farmers. That's two. Three. Are you

1579
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:35,080
Speaker 1: ready for this? If you're somebody who is strictly followed

1580
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: government guidelines when it comes to coronavirus, I'm gonna tell

1581
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 1: you something about yourself. You're not gonna like you ready?

1582
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 1: You would have fought for the Confederacy. What do I

1583
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 1: mean by that? Those guys were doing what everyone else

1584
01:58:56,400 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 1: was doing. The guys who put on the rebel uniform.

1585
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 1: You're in Tennessee. The Union Army comes into Tennessee, they

1586
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 1: flat out And I've told you this before. I heard

1587
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,800
Speaker 1: it in a great documentary. They captured a Tennessee rebel

1588
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 1: and said, what are you doing this for? You don't

1589
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 1: know anything about the Constitution or anything. Why are you

1590
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: fighting us? And he said, well, you're down here. I

1591
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 1: didn't invade your state. You invaded by state. If you're

1592
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:27,240
Speaker 1: somebody who goes along with the consensus, if you're somebody

1593
01:59:27,280 --> 01:59:30,160
Speaker 1: who goes along with whatever the crowd is doing, with

1594
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: whatever leadership tells you you should do. If that's your

1595
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 1: nature and that's most of us, then you would have

1596
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 1: put on that Confederate uniform too. I laugh at all

1597
01:59:45,160 --> 01:59:50,320
Speaker 1: these modern day do gooders. A racism, this racism, and

1598
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:55,200
Speaker 1: it was racist. I'm not saying it wasn't. Brother, you

1599
01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:58,320
Speaker 1: would not have been defecting to the North to fight

1600
01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:04,600
Speaker 1: for the Union against the South. You're lying to yourself

1601
02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 1: and everyone else using modern sensibilities. If you were born

1602
02:00:12,080 --> 02:00:17,160
Speaker 1: in the heart of Georgia in eighteen thirty, brother, you

1603
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: would have had that must get in your hands bayonetting

1604
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 1: and shooting Union troops, defending your state and defending the

1605
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 1: gross institution of slavery. That is an undeniable fact. The

1606
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 1: history of the world proves it to be so. Human

1607
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:44,360
Speaker 1: nature proves it to be so. One last thing on this,

1608
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 1: aren't all these Confederate things that still exist? Aren't they lessons?

1609
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:58,280
Speaker 1: They are part of our history? But aren't there valuable

1610
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 1: lessons to be taught? There? Hang on Express VPN keeps

1612
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 1: you a quick story. I knew a guy who worked

1613
02:01:34,880 --> 02:01:39,280
Speaker 1: for the federal government finding people. That was his job

1614
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:43,280
Speaker 1: was to find people using little bits of information online.

1615
02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 1: And I had a chance to sit down with him

1616
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:48,480
Speaker 1: one time and find out exactly how he did what

1617
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:50,560
Speaker 1: he did. And he went into as much detail as

1618
02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: he could that I could understand. But I'll give you

1619
02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 1: the simple result. With a picture, a picture taken from

1620
02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: somebody's home, he was able to perfectly triangulate where that

1639
02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:32,360
Speaker 1: have to smoke forever. And the reason I say it

1640
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 1: like that is I have been that guy. I've been

1641
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:38,360
Speaker 1: that guy. I dipped for so long. And what would

1642
02:04:38,360 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad

1643
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:42,440
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, I don't

1644
02:04:42,480 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 1: need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. And

1645
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I would fail time and time and time again. I

1646
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:51,480
Speaker 1: tried things like the patch that didn't work, gum of

1647
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:55,600
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter
