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 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. History is 20 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: a funny, funny beast. It's a funny beast because well, 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: we only learn our side of it, don't we don't 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: We only learn one side of it in general, and 23 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: even if we learn multiple size of it, one side generally, 24 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: it's all that sticks with us. I mean, after I'm 25 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: done with the history portion of every show, I have 26 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: no doubt you can head down to the water cooler, 27 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: pour yourself a cup of Joe in the company kitchen, 28 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: and probably give at least a portion of my narrative 29 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: to a vaguely interested coworker about what I talked about 30 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: that day. Hey, you learned some things. I learned some things. 31 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: Oh this is what Jesse had to say about Genghi's cone. 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: Did you know this about World War One? It's normal, right, 33 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: But eventually, because of the way our minds work, because 34 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: of the way memory works, we forget most of that stuff, 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: at least the details of it, and you will walk 36 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: away from that, from everything with just a concept, not 37 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: necessarily the details. Look, I do this every single day. 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: I don't remember the details. Do a new one every day, 39 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: and it's me speaking, it's my thoughts, and I forget 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the names and dates and locations and things like that. 41 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: So you walk away with just a narrative. That's what 42 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: you walk away with. Producer Chris, what's your what's your 43 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: narrative for Genghis Khan and the Mongols? What do you 44 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: think about them? When I say that great general and conqueror? 45 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: Think about how many Mongols stories we've talked about, all 46 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: the different sieges and sackings and crazy things and as 47 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: other generals, and I mean, you could talk about them endlessly. 48 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: What's it boiled down to? After a while? Producer Chris 49 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: sits here every day, every day and listens to me 50 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: talk about it. Genghis Khan a great general. That's what 51 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: happens to all of us. Your history, your knowledge of 52 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: everything gets narrowed down to the big things you took 53 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: away from it. If I brought that name up to 54 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: somebody else, if I brought it up to you, something 55 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: else probably would have stuck with you, depending on what 56 00:03:51,680 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: you loved about it. Horse archer, rapist, genocide, uli, just lee, tolerant. 57 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Whatever you took from it, right, So what did you take? 58 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: What do you know about the American Revolution? Chris, who's 59 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: our oldest ally in the United States of America? France? 60 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Who would you have said as our oldest ally? We 61 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: have a narrative in this country. We have a narrative 62 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: about France. We have a narrative about ourselves. We have 63 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: a narrative about Britain. We have a narrative about the 64 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: American Revolution. And what's funny is like pretty much all narratives, 65 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: yours and mine, it's not really accurate. What's our narrative 66 00:04:51,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: about France? You know, gutless cowards, useless, a French are 67 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: a French rifle, never fired, only dropped once prior to 68 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: World War Two. France's military history is disgustingly good. What's 69 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: your narrative about Britain? There are ally right. What's your 70 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: narrative about the American Revolution? Wow? This huge world battle 71 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: to break off, a break off from the British Empire. 72 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what the American Revolution was to the 73 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: British Empire? It was one of several relatively minor skirmishes 74 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: for them, taking place all over the world between them 75 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: and France to see who would rule the world. We 76 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: think of the American evolution as this is our this 77 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,679 Speaker 1: is where we were conceived, the birthplace of birthplace of freedom, 78 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: this is the beginning. Well, yeah, it was our beginning. 79 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't that too, Britain, not at all. Britain was 80 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: in fact more interested get this and holding on to 81 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: Jamaica than they were holding on the colonies. Did you 82 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: know that. You're curious why? Because Jamaica was rich in sugarcane. 83 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: And remember how all the talks we've had about trade 84 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: and how big global trade was sugar. This is long 85 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: before the age of all the sugar substitutes and the 86 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: planes back and forth. Sugar was sugar was gold, hugely, 87 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: hugely profitable. Now, the American Revolution? What do you know? 88 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: What's your narrative in your mind about the American Revolution? Granted, 89 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: the thing is, the amazing thing about this show is 90 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: at some level you're a history lover, even if you 91 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: just like the thirty thousand foot view I give you, 92 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: or you're one of the more detailed people and you 93 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: know a lot of these stories, or you dig in 94 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: after the fact. But the great thing is so many 95 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: of you know way more about these topics than I do. 96 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: So if you're not one of those people, what is this? 97 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: What's the narrative on the American Revolution? Wow? We had 98 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: these British soldiers all over the colonies, and we each 99 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: in every American stood up and fought against that occupying 100 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: British force, and we threw them out. Do you know 101 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: there were virtually whole states that stayed loyal to Britain 102 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: throughout the American Revolution, States like New York? Did you 103 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: know there were entire units And I'm not talking about 104 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: a platoon. I'm talking about one, two, three thousand man units, 105 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: which are gigantic units for American Revolution size size that 106 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: we're colonists who were loyal to Britain. They estimate the 107 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: numbers are about thirty three percent of America fought against Britain, 108 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: virtually the same amount fought for Britain. The other thirty 109 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: three percent. In case you're wondering, didn't really care. Just 110 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: leave me out of it. Let me know whenever y'all 111 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: work it out. Narratives are a funny, funny thing. And 112 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: the French do you know what happened at Yorktown? Now, everybody, 113 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: you can picture the end of the movie The Patriot, right, 114 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: we got the ships shelling Yorktown. Cornwallis is in there, 115 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: he refuses to come out, so on and so forth. 116 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: Here's what actually happened at Yorktown. One. Cornwallis was not 117 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: the headman in charge of British forces in the Americas. 118 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: He was the headman in charge of the kind of 119 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: Southern British forces, and that was considered the South Virginia. 120 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: But the big man in charge, his name was Clinton. 121 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: He had a huge, sixteen thousand man army in New 122 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: York City. George Washington wanted New York City and wanted 123 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: it badly, badly. And something you should know about George 124 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Washington is your narrative about him. I mean, some of 125 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: it may be wrong, but a lot of that crap 126 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: is true. That guy was a brilliant, brilliant it's general. 127 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: By all accounts, they study him internationally. That's not just 128 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: an American thing we romanticize. Oh we got him on 129 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: the Dollar Bill. George No, Washington was a stud a 130 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: lot more violent than you like to think of him. 131 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: You know, you do, I know how you picture George Washington? 132 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: How do you picture him? Hang on, I'll explain. Is 133 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so?

I know how you pictured George Washington 150 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: the gentle, stoic, kind of like your grandpa in uniform, 151 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: just a humble dude. George Washington was unbelievably cocky, and 152 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: George Washington would happily cut your head off if he 153 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: was fighting against you. George Washington was a beast, and 154 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: that's not an insult at all. He was an absolute 155 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: lion in battle, absurdly courageous. One battle, he had not 156 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: one but two horses shot out from underneath him. He 157 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: finished the battle with four bullet holes in his coat 158 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: and none of them hit him. He was infamous for 159 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: being basically impossible to kill. George Washington was a start 160 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: and George Washington was also a huge, huge believer in deception, 161 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: in spying. This is not some ignorant Rube general here. 162 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: This man is a pro. He was all about it. 163 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: They made a history series about it. I don't know 164 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: if it was any good. I think it was called 165 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: Washington Spies. I think the History Channel did it. But 166 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: he was famous for the spy game. It's what he 167 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: did so well. You know a second thing George Washington 168 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: did well. One of his specialties he retreated. Sounds ridiculous, right, 169 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: do you know what one of the hardest things in 170 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: the world to do is when it comes to battle, 171 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: know when to retreat, be able to swallow your pride 172 00:13:53,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: enough to retreat and keep your men calm as you retreat. Eat. 173 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: George Washington knew very early on he did not have 174 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: the British numbers. He could survive losing a battle here, 175 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: losing a battle there. What he could not survive was 176 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: an army wipe out. I bring five thousand men to battle, 177 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: you bring eight or nine thousand men to battle. We 178 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: do get out things are going south. I can fight on. 179 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: If I walk out of there with four thousand of 180 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: my five thousand men, I get surrounded and slaughtered or 181 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: surrounded and taken prisoner, I lose five thousand. There is 182 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: no United States of America period. George Washington knew when 183 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: to cut his losses in bail and knew how to 184 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: keep his men calm when he did so. And remember, 185 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: when you are retreating. An orderly retreat now is no different, 186 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: but especially then two. When you're fighting side by side 187 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: with men and muskets, bayonets and it's going poorly, you're 188 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: giving up ground. It's not as if you turn around 189 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: and run to the other end of a deserted football field. 190 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: You have explosions, blood curdling screaming. You may be wounded, 191 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: almost undoubtedly you've seen one of your friends wounded or killed. 192 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: It is the most nerve wracking thing in the world. 193 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: We're losing. There's violence everywhere. I'm about to die to 194 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: you imagine the panic that would take. There's one story 195 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: I heard. It was on the Great Dan Carlin's podcast 196 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: Hardcore History. He did one on World War One, and 197 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: he told this story about the Australians. And I'm not 198 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: going to go into everything, but they were in a battle, 199 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: but somebody was up above and they were shooting down 200 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: on the Australians, and a guy was sitting beside his 201 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: friends shooting back, and his friend got a bullet shot 202 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: down his throat. And the man describes what it's like 203 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: watching his friend take I think it was twenty minutes 204 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: to die as he lay there twisting around in agony. 205 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: That's what it looks like all around you. Do you 206 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: think you would be tempted to just crap your pants 207 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: and throw your weapon down and turn and sprint the 208 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: other way. Oh, you would, because it's happened several times 209 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: throughout history. It takes a special human being to keep 210 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: you calm and organized. No, don't throw your weapon down. 211 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: You back up first. Now you back up. Let's move 212 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: over here orderly. It's an impressive thing. So George Washington 213 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: wants New York. The Brits have a strategy at this 214 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: point in the world. And remember this is towards the 215 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: end of the war. This is seventeen eighty one. And 216 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: here's the British strategy you see right now at this 217 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: point in seventeen eighty one. They're frustrated. They still have 218 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: the advantage, but not a huge advantage. And here's what 219 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: has happened to Britain. And it's so funny it makes 220 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: total sense now, right. Britain is owning the urban areas 221 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: areas like New York City. They have the most loyalists there. 222 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: These are areas where it's easy to sink your teeth 223 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: into and then defend. They are having huge problems getting 224 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: any traction outside of the urban areas. So they come 225 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: up with a plan, and their plan is simply this. 226 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: They say, you know, we haven't done much in the 227 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: South and Georgia and the Carolinas in Virginia. And I 228 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: bet you money, I bet you money. If we go 229 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: down south, slap around just a little, I bet you 230 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: all those Southerners are going to turn the loyalists really quickly. 231 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: Talk about not understanding people in the South. They came 232 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: down south. Oh, they took Savannah, they took Charleston and 233 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: promptly lost all the rest of the South. The South, 234 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: the South is now as it was then, as it 235 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: always will be. The South is not a place that 236 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: takes kindly to you, stomping on in and deciding you 237 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: own the joint, and all of a sudden, Britain finds 238 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: themselves the victims of these horrible gorilla attacks somebody you 239 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: may know as the swamp Fox. How sweet is that? Yeah, 240 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: that was actually one of our guys. He would specialize. 241 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: You know the movie The Patriot, a lot of the 242 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: character and The Patriot was based off of the real 243 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: life dude, the swamp Fox, and he would do that. 244 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: He would hide out in swamps and do these horrible 245 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: guerrilla attacks on the Brits and just disappear. They freaking 246 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: hated him. The Brits had every intention of hanging him 247 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 1: because they didn't consider him a regular army dude. They 248 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: were going to hang him if they ever found him, 249 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: if they ever found him. That's how much they hated 250 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: this dude. How sweet as that? And speaking of Britain, 251 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: speaking of the movie The Patriot, you know the bad 252 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: guy in that movie, the bad dude who believed in, 253 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, killing all the civilians and such, that was 254 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: based off of a real life dude by the name 255 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: of Tarleton. Now there's no evidence he locked a bunch 256 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: of people in a church and burned it to the ground. However, 257 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: he was terrible to United States citizens as a policy, 258 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: as an absolute policy. So remember that name Tarleton. We'll 259 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: be back to that in a few The British plan 260 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: of taking the South wasn't working, so they had a 261 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: new plan, and this is what they decided to do. Clinton. 262 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: Remember the head Britain charge takes Cornwallace, that other guy 263 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: from the movie Patriot. I'm gonna keep coming back to 264 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: that because it's the easiest way to remember it really 265 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: was his name. Cornwallace tells Cornwallace, go build a sweet 266 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: fort around the Chesapeake, because we're gonna set up shop. 267 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: That's gonna kind of be our southern headquarters down there. 268 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: So cornwall Cornwallace goes to a place called Yorktown. Yorktown 269 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: was a tiny, little nothing village. I've never been there. 270 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is now, but understand Yorktown 271 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: was nothing until well, so they made it Yorktown. Cornwallace 272 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: sees it pretty wisely, you could say, beforehand, pretty wisely, 273 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: decides this is a perfect stategic point because his back 274 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: is to the York River. And what is the major, major, 275 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: major advantage Britain has in virtually every conflict we've ever 276 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: talked about what's their major advantage Producer Chris, that's right, 277 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: the navy. They're ships. Well, if I'm Britain and I 278 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: have to build a ford, I think I'll go ahead 279 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: and back up to a river where I can have 280 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: my navy just sit right behind me. Not a bad plan, right, 281 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: except there was a problem. Hang on. I despise with 282 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the fire of a thousand sons. I despise getting a 283 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: car repair bill. Now. Look, I understand that you aren't 284 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: exactly excited when you get one either. Nobody's oh sweet, 285 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: I have to fix my transmission. Nobody's ever said that, ever. 286 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: But the truth is, it just grinds on me when 287 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: I get unexpected money, because it's always when you're in 288 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: a bad financial spot, isn't it. Oh man, things are 289 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: a little tight this month. But you know what, honey, 290 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: I think we'll be okay as long as nothing happens. Well, 291 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: that's pretty much a recipe for your engine blowing out 292 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: the next day. But I have good news. If you 293 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: have a car, truck, or suv made from nineteen ninety 294 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: nine or higher, there's a chance you'll get to stop 295 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: paying for car repairs. I mean that it's called protect 296 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: my car. You have to find out if you qualify first, 297 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: and I hope you do. So find out now dial 298 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: Star Star one two four four again that Star Star 299 00:22:44,160 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: one two four four protect my car. So Cornwallace digs 300 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: in because he's got a Southern plan. Now he heads 301 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: down to York Virginia. Got the York River, Yorktown, Virginia. 302 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: He has the York River at his back. He's gonna 303 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: build a port. He's gonna build a fort. That rhymed, 304 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: what Chris, I like rhyming. I'm what you'd call an artist. 305 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: All right? What what Washington is up by New York? 306 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: He wants New York. However, Washington is not the only 307 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: one calling the shots. Yes, sees the overall commander. The 308 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: French are heavily involved with us. You ask a regular American, 309 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: even a hardcore patriot, about the revolution, and you even 310 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: bring up the French. They kind of sneer at it. 311 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they sent a ship. Nah, buddy, they were 312 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: heavily involved, and they come up with an idea. Washington 313 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: and the French dudes, instead of attacking New York, instead 314 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: of attacking what is strong? Why don't we fake like 315 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: we're going to attack New York and go down and 316 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: attack Cornwallis's army at York, at Yorktown. The French wisely 317 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: say yeah, okay, I like this plan. But they all figure, well, 318 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: we do have an issue though, there's that British navy. 319 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: What do we do about that. They come up with 320 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: a plan, and the plan involves the Caribbean. Did you 321 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: know that? You see the French, Remember how I told 322 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: you the British love Jamaica. The French were heavily involved 323 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: in the Caribbean as well. Caribbean Caribbean. I'm gonna say 324 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: it both ways because I don't know the appropriate way 325 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: and I don't use words right. The French and frankly, 326 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: what is a shocking, shocking level of communication and coordination. 327 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: Get ahold of their Caribbean fleet and tell them this, 328 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: we need you to sneak out of there. Sneak out 329 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: of there and sail on up the coastline to help 330 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: us with our attack on the British. Now, when I 331 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: say shocking, we lose sight of how communication worked back then. 332 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: How long it took to get places back then? Do 333 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: you know to and from Britain it would either take 334 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: six weeks or three months, depending on which direction you're 335 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: going because of the currents. Consider that if you want 336 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: to send a message of any kind to the King 337 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: or him back to you, bare minimum, it's a month 338 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: and a half from the time it leaves him to 339 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: the time it gets to you. They're not sending smoke 340 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: signals across the Atlantic. There's no cell phones, text messages, emails, 341 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: fax machines or anything else. It has to be by hand. Now, 342 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: consider you have an army. Pull up a map. Unless 343 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: you're driving, don't crash. Pull up a map and look 344 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: at New York City. Now look at the distance from 345 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: New York City to the middle of the water in 346 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: the Caribbean. Consider the coordination it takes to get even 347 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: get a message from your people down to the French 348 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: Navy in the Caribbean and get this. You can't just 349 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: leave until he gets a message back to you. But 350 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: they do it. Just said, it's fifteen hundred miles. Fifteen 351 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: hundred miles mind you of well, how are we getting 352 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: this message there? Do you ever think about that? I 353 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: don't know why I think about these things. I know 354 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I didn't mean to get sidetracked on it. 355 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: How the message get there. You probably had to try 356 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: to sail it maybe, but um, what do you do 357 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: if a British naval vessel finds you and blows you 358 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: out of the water. Okay, so we can't sail it 359 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: all right, you know, but we'll just set a rider 360 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: on horseback. Um. I know they never talk about this 361 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: in a movie, but a horse can't ride fifteen hundred miles. 362 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: You can't just ride a horse a hundred miles a 363 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: day till the end of time. The horse will die. 364 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: The Mongols, you know, I always talk about the Mongols. 365 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: We like to picture the Mongols on horse horse back. 366 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: They are these horse archers. Yeah, they all took like 367 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: five or six horses with them, not one, because they 368 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: knew they always had to rotate them out for fresh ones. 369 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: And as you're making your way, I know, I'm going 370 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: off on how to get the message there. I just 371 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: find it amazing. And as you're making your way from 372 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: New York down to the Caribbean, you're not exactly making 373 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: your way down safe paved roads. The country is at war. 374 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: In fact, because of the message you're carrying. There is 375 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: a reasonable chance if you're caught, you will be hanging 376 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: from a tree by the end of the day. Maybe 377 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: worse if the Indians catch you and the message has 378 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: to go back. Fascinating, right, I always find it fascinating. 379 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: And here's what Washington does. He doesn't want the Brits 380 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: to reinforce and Wallace in Virginia. He gets his sign 381 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: off that the French are gonna send their fleet up. 382 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: So what Washington does? I love this. I love this stuff. 383 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: Washington creates a bunch of fake dispatches that discuss his 384 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: next move, and that his next move is going to 385 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: be to move south, just a little south into into 386 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: New Jersey. I'm not going anyway. We're just We're going 387 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: to head to New Jersey and fool these stupid British people. 388 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: That's basically what his letters said. And then he made 389 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: sure the letter fell into the hands of the British. 390 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: How great is that? Now Clinton is up there in 391 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: charge of this huge, huge New York force and he's thinking, 392 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: this idiot, all right, he's gonna move a little south. 393 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: I know we can't say him anymore, but I know 394 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: where he is. We just got the letter. Noope, In 395 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: one of the great military logistical maneuvers of all time, 396 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: they still study it in more colleges. Today, Washington Force 397 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: marches his entire force and the French with him down 398 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: to Yorktown. That French fleet that took off from the Caribbean, 399 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: they eventually get caught, or I should say found out. 400 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: The British down in the Caribbean look around one day 401 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: and say where did the French fleet go? Did anyone 402 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: see the French fleet? Marty, did you see the French fleet? 403 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: I would say them, Oh, if they're going north, that's 404 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: a very big deal. The British take off trying to 405 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: find the fleet, because again remember this is not the 406 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: era of satellite images in radar. If you have a 407 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: huge fleet takeoff, it's a big ocean. There's no telling 408 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: where that thing might be. Eventually, they do find them, 409 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: after accidentally passing them, and in one of the rarest 410 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: things to ever happen to the Brits, they lose a 411 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: naval battle. Now before we've even fired a shot at Yorktown, 412 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: Cornwallace is finished and he doesn't even know it because 413 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: now you have that gigantic body of water behind you 414 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: and there's no British Navy about to sail up it 415 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: to save you. So that huge body of water that 416 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: was your strength beforehand just became your weakness. Washington and 417 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: the French troops get to Yorktown, surround Cornwallace and begin 418 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: a siege Tornwallace. Well, his men are going hungry. You 419 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: know how many sieges if I talked to you about before, 420 00:31:54,320 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: that's how it goes. Remember that's the point of a siege. 421 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: But historically, whenever you hear me or anyone else talk 422 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: about a siege, always remember a siege is an ugly 423 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: bit of business. Picture your home, you and your family. 424 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: Picture your home being surrounded by enemy troops. There's no 425 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: way out or you'll be shot boom. Survive with what's 426 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: in your house. You're probably okay for a while. What's 427 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: that look like when you're staring across the room and 428 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: your kids are saying, Dad, I'm hungry. A siege is 429 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: an ugly bit of business. Hang on, knocked out another 430 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: amazing night's sleep last night. I'm on quite a streak now. 431 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to take all the credit, as you know 432 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: I do, but I suppose I should probably give some 433 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: credit to EBB Sleep. Remember it's not pills, it's a 434 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: wearable device. You put it on your head and What 435 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: it does is that it provides precise, continuous cooling to 436 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: your forehead area. And that's the area keeping you awake. 437 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: That's the area those thoughts are just racing through. Go 438 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: get an EBB sleep. You are not going to believe 439 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: how much better you feel when you try one.

A young man by the name of 447 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: Alexander Hamilton. Maybe you've heard of him before. He was 448 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: Washington's right hand man. Yeah, he did a lot of 449 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: the pounding. He was a stud militarily. He's a lot 450 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: more than some stupid play they came up with about him. 451 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: Hamilton Washington. They start beating the crap out of the British, 452 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: and the French are right there with us, just as 453 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: many French at this battle as Americans. We start out 454 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: about six hundred yards from Yorktown. And how it basically 455 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 1: works in these sieges back then is you have your 456 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: trenches and cannons and you're pounding away at them, and 457 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: you're basically inching forward the stuff you use for cover 458 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: because they're shooting back. You're inching that forward and constantly 459 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: advancing your trenches forward. We pound them to dust. Finally, 460 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: one day, what was apparently quite a sight, a drummer 461 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: appears from Yorktown. Oh before I get to that, I 462 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: almost forgot to mention. If you want to talk about 463 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: the history's worst luck in the world, Cornwallace decides he's 464 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: going to save his troops very wisely one night and 465 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: slip out the back of the place and cross the 466 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: river behind him. Every has this huge river behind him. 467 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: He's going to cross the river and escape hops in 468 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: the boats. They take off, and I swear, obviously it 469 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: has to be from God. A massive squall and storm 470 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: rises up and blows him back into York Town. Amazing, 471 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: Is that all? Right? Find it? A drummer appears. An 472 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: officer is standing behind the drummer waving a white flag, 473 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: some say a white handkerchief. Again, it's weird how you 474 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: can never get what it actually was. I'm assuming this 475 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: is a huge moment. I read ten different things on it. 476 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: Some say a handkerchiefs, some say a flag walks over. 477 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: They begin negotiating the terms of surrender. Finally, Cornwallace surrenders, 478 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: and one of the best salty things from George Washington 479 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Cornwallace refuses to show up himself 480 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 1: to give up his sword at the official surrender because 481 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: he claims he was sick, so instead he sends his 482 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: second in command. His second in command shows up to 483 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: George Washington tries to give Washington his sword. Washington refuses 484 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: to take it because he's only the second in command 485 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: and sends him to Washington second in command. No, you 486 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: can give it. You can give it to that guy. 487 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: I only deal with the boss here. I'm the boss. 488 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: Go get your boss. If we're dealing with subordinates there, 489 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: go talk to mine. Give him your sword. I don't 490 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: want you jerk off second in command sword. That's so salty. 491 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: Washington did this all over the place during the war. 492 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: He was great at this kind of saltiness. I believe 493 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: it was Nathan Hale, who was the British hung him. 494 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: Washington promptly hung a brit during I believe it was 495 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: the fall of Charleston. The Brits would see, here's the problem. 496 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: The Brits still many of them, and they weren't necessarily wrong. 497 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: From their point of view. They viewed us as not 498 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: a separate nation at war with them. They viewed us 499 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: as a rebellious part of Britain. And so that's part 500 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,919 Speaker 1: of the reason the atrocities took place, and it's part 501 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: of the reason it got very ungentlemanly. Sometimes they were, 502 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: in their minds putting down a rebellion. We were fighting 503 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: for freedom. They were putting down a rebellion, you know, 504 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: because you listen to my show, How do you put 505 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: down rebellions? Usually throughout history ugly? Ugly. So when our 506 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: troops surrendered, I believe again I believe it was Charleston. 507 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: Instead of allowing them to keep their weapons and walk 508 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: out honorably with their weapons pointed up, which was considered 509 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: the honorable thing to do all of our guys have surrendered, 510 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: allow them to march out with their muskets pointed in 511 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: the air, the Brits made our guys flip their muskets over, 512 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: which is a huge, huge disgrace. For armies back then 513 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: and march out with their muskets pointed down. The Brits 514 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: surrender it at Georgetown promptly requests that George Washington allow 515 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: them to march out with their muskets pointed up. George 516 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: Washington says, Nah, go ahead and flip those over and 517 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: point them down, then you can walk out. I love that, dude. 518 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: I love that Washington never forgot that stuff. Finally, remember Tarlton, 519 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: the bad guy from the Patriot. It was customary back 520 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: then to have a banquet with the enemy officers after 521 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: you've defeated them. So Washington throws a banquet a meal, 522 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how elaborate it was, and invites obviously, 523 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: Cornwallis and everybody there. You invite all the officers. We 524 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: all sit down and dine together like gentlemen, talk about 525 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: the battle we just won and lost, so on and 526 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: so forth. He invited everyone but Tarleton. Because of his atrocities. 527 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: Tarleton was not welcome at the banquet. Salty. What happened 528 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: at Yorktown, I'll tell you a second. What happened at 529 00:40:51,120 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: Yorktown was simply this. Cornwallace formed a plan. In his plan, 530 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: it relied on those naval vessels having his back, he 531 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: formed a plan that involved other people performing and performing well. 532 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,760 Speaker 1: The other people did not perform well. The other people 533 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: performed poorly. Hornwallis loses your town and frankly loses the 534 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: American Revolution. It did not end right after this, by 535 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: the way. That's just from the movies. But that's pretty 536 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: much was the last gasp. You see, ladies and gentlemen, 537 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: we have right now. You and I have way way 538 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: too much reliance on other people, on other people to 539 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: come save us, on other people to solve our problems, 540 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: and those people are never coming. In fact, many of 541 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: those people are working against you. I'll explain it in 542 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: a second. The Jessie Kelly Show.
