But be aware how often you outsource and 31 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: who you outsourced. Two Italy, a long, long, long time ago, 32 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: about the year oh nineteen o two, a man was born. 33 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: His name was Umberto Anastasio. You may know him as 34 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Albert Anastasia. He well, he had a rough upbringing. They 35 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: were poor anyway, had about nine thousand siblings. Father died 36 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: right after World War One. So here he is fatherless, penniless, 37 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: huge family, stuck in Italy, which was in dire financial 38 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: straits at the time, and he wanted out, and so 39 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: with his brother he chose to become. Wow, a guy 40 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: who works on a ship is how I'll describe it 41 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: to you now, we need to take a step back 42 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: here for a moment. Fifteen years old. I don't know 43 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: what you were doing at fifteen, but I was about 44 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: the size of a twig. I'm pretty sure I had 45 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: little caesars in mountain dew, three meals a day, Almost 46 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: positive I was still picking my nose. Albert Anastasia took 47 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: on one of the most brutal jobs you can have 48 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: at the time. You see, working on a ship does 49 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: not mean he brought the captain a cup of coffee 50 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: every now and then. It was brutal, backbreaking work, crappy food, 51 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: horrible living conditions. It was akin to torture back in 52 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: the day. Brutal work. So they start because they're shipping, 53 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: and because New York was the biggest port in the 54 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: world at the time, they start seeing Brooklyn when they 55 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: roll in and they're looking at the guys working on 56 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: the dock and that was brutal work too, which we'll 57 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: get too in a minute. And he and his brother 58 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: eventually say, you know what, screw this gone illegally immigrate 59 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: right into New York flat out jump ship and they 60 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: go working on the docks. Now there's something you should 61 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: know about Albert Anastasia lost his father. You know that 62 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: poor You know that was also built like an absolute 63 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: break cows, not super tall, but they said the dude 64 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: was just a tank and apparently had hands of steel 65 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: is how they described them. Where if he hits you, 66 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: he would break bones. Now he goes to work on 67 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: the New York docks. You need to understand the New 68 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: York Docks were basically a war zone at the time. 69 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: And I'll explain why docks in any city, in any 70 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: country in the world, and this is still true today, 71 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: have corruption everywhere everywhere. It just I'm not insulting anybody individually. 72 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm not insulting any industry, but docks are how you 73 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: bring in goods from other nations. Those goods can be drugs, 74 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: those goods can be stolen items, underfitted items. Those those goods, 75 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: oftentimes today sadly are people. It's a massive human smuggling operation. 76 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: And that happens at the ports. People get paid off 77 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: at the ports, people smuggle at the ports, people steal 78 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: at the ports. Ports are crime ridden. Now we've done 79 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: a lot better job now in this country of trying 80 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: to clean some of that up. But if you think 81 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: our ports are all clean, my goodness, I'll sell you 82 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the Golden gate Bridge right after the show. And this 83 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: was an era that was much more lawless than where 84 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: we live now. The New York docks were rough. They're 85 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: about nine hundred piers. Most of the men carried bailing hooks. 86 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: And you know what a bailing hook is, or at 87 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: least you should picture a big hook, like like somebody 88 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: bails hey with a baling hook, and it has a 89 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: handle on the end of it, so essentially you can 90 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: hold it in your fist and you get a firm 91 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: grip on it and there's a massive hook coming out 92 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: the end of your fist. That's the best way I 93 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: can describe it. And they fought with them, They fought 94 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: each other with them, because when I say corruption, I 95 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: mean the various organized crime factions, the Italians, the Jews, 96 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: the Irish, they were all fighting for various forms of 97 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: control of the docks. Beyond the basic corruption, there were 98 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: hiring bosses. And a hiring boss is exactly what it 99 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: sounds like. Work was coveted. You wanted to get paid, 100 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: you wanted to put food on the table, and so 101 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: one man would be the boss of deciding who got 102 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: to go to work that day, and those guys got 103 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: killed a lot ten and ten years. At one point 104 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: in time, they just flat out disappear. So Albert Anastasia, 105 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: built like a brick house, already inherent violent, walks into 106 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: the New York Docks and starts to work, and he 107 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: starts to beat the living daylights out of people. Eighteen 108 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: nineteen years old, and he has already feared. Eventually he 109 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: comes across the man who was not afraid of him 110 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: in This man's name was Joe Toreno. They were not alone, 111 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: This was not hidden in a back alley. This was 112 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: right out in the open with everybody watching. Joe Tourno 113 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: begins to challenge Albert Anastasia. Joe Toreno then gets stabbed 114 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: really quickly and then gets held down and choked to 115 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: death by Albert Anastasia's hands. Everybody witnessed it. Albert did 116 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: not only did not hide it, he, multiple witnesses said, 117 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Yes, he was angry, but he enjoyed the 118 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: experience watching Joe Torino's life fade from his eyes. Well, 119 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: the docks may be lawless, but there is still some 120 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: law at this point in New York. Albert Anastasia finds 121 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: himself arrested, convicted on death row in Sing Sing prison, 122 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: and that's all she wrote. Right, Well, no, you see, 123 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: sometimes when you have certain talents, people looking for those 124 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: talents will find you. And at this time, there was 125 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: an up and coming gangster in New York City named 126 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: Lucky Luciano. He was not the big shot quite yet, 127 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: but he was up and coming. And as you may imagine, 128 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: organized crime they need people who can choke the life 129 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: out of somebody and enjoy it. And there was actually 130 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: a talent scout, if you can believe this, a talent 131 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: scout for criminals in the prison whose nickname was the Shiv. 132 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, and worked in the barber shop. 133 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: And I don't just mean for Italian mafia, I mean 134 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: for any whatever you need. Oh you know what, this 135 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: kid could probably he'd probably go well on your bank 136 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: robbing crew. We've thrown me a little money, and I'll 137 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: give you his name, and he knows Lucky Luciano's looking 138 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: for new talent, violent talent. And there's this eighteen nineteen 139 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: year old kid, Albert Anastasia, and he's on death row 140 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: and he's still beating everybody up in prison and trying 141 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: to kill everyone, and so the Shoe picks up the phone. 142 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: Lucky answers the phone, hang on, I've got on him 143 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: on inside of me. YESSI, Kelly, don't listening to the 144 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: chess Elly's show. Albert Anastasia sitting on death row and 145 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: sing sing only he's really good at killing and hurting people. 146 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: And so the shove the criminal talent scalp from the 147 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: prison barber shop, not making that up. He is Lucky Luciano. 148 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: A call says there's a guy here that you may 149 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: want to look into. Lucky does some digging and says, yeah, 150 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: that's a that's a man who's talents I can use. Well, 151 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: he's got a problem, right, the guys on death row. 152 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah about that. You see, Lucky Luciano had two things. 153 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: He had a lot of politicians and judges in his 154 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: pocket where he could get a retrial, and he also 155 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: had a willingness to help witnesses forgets what they thought 156 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: they saw. You see, there were four witnesses who gave 157 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: the worst testimony about watching albert Anastasia choked the life 158 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: out of somebody. And I don't know whether they all 159 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: went on vacation and stayed or what. But all four 160 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: of them disappeared wherever. So the retrial comes. Albert Anastasia 161 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: gets let off and now he is in Lucky Luciano's debt. 162 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: As you can imagine, Now, this is a time when 163 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: there are two big bosses running New York. Lucciano was 164 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: not one of them, and the big gus one was 165 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: Joe the Boss Masouria. That's who Lucky Luciano worked for. 166 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: And this is something straight out of the movies. And 167 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: the reason it's straight out of the movies is because 168 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: all these Mafia movies you love, they all copy the 169 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: stuff the guys did. In real life. Lucky Lucciano wanted 170 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: to kill his boss, Joe the Boss Masuria, and so 171 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: what did he do. He invited him to lunch and 172 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: they sat down by themselves and Joe the Boss Masuria's 173 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: favorite restaurant, and they ate lunch, and they engorged themselves 174 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: and then they began playing cards. Not a care in 175 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: the world. He's Joe the Boss Masouria, right, And at 176 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: one point Lucky Luciano, at obviously a designated time, got up, 177 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: went back to use the restroom, and four gentlemen entered 178 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: the restaurant right about the time Lucky Luciano went to 179 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: the restroom. One of those four gentlemen, the leader of 180 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: the group was mister albert Anastasia, and they filled Joe 181 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: the Boss Masoia full of bullets. If you're sitting in 182 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: front of your computer as you listen to my voice 183 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: right now, you are welcome to google Joe the Boss 184 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: Masaria and you will witness albert Anastasia's handiwork firsthand. Now, 185 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: Lucky Luciano continues to rise. Organized crime was very factioned. 186 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: Is faction to word Chris Can, I use that word 187 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: very factioned at the time. And eventually Luciano finds himself 188 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: as the big Cheese, and he brings in all the 189 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: bosses of all the families and starts what is called 190 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: something you've most likely heard before, the commission, the Mafia Commission, 191 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: where they will essentially run it like a business. We 192 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: will make corporate decisions, we will not fight with each other. 193 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: This family will have this territory. This family will will 194 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: have that territory. You are going to be in charge 195 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: the heroine, You're going to be in charge of the hookers, 196 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Sounds like a real good time. 197 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Well that sounds nice in theory. And you hear people 198 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about, well the Commission and he really, he really 199 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: cleaned things up and made organized crime much, you know, 200 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: much more, much more user friendly. Well, here's the thing. 201 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: It's still crime, it's still drugs, it's still gambling, it's 202 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: still prostitution, it's still all the ugly sides of life. 203 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: And when you start to dive into that world, into 204 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: that dark part of that world, somebody needs pushed around, 205 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: somebody needs killed. And Lucky Luciana was not naive to this. 206 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: So what he decided was, we don't need to do 207 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: all our own killing anymore. We're a very businessman like right. 208 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: What we need is a special group of killers. Then 209 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: that's all they do is whatever killing the Commission tells 210 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: them to do. And who do you think he picked 211 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: to lead that group, mister Albert Anastasia. And the group 212 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: was called Murder inc I believe the newspapers actually called 213 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: it that. They of course did not call it that themselves. 214 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny when you think about it. I mean, 215 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: unless you're one of the thousand people they allegedly murdered, 216 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of funny when you think about it. The 217 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: group operated out of the second story of the Midnight 218 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: Rose Candy Shop in Manhattan, candy store, the bunch of 219 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: killers up top. Now things are going well again unless 220 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: you're one of the people on the other end of 221 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: the ice pick albert Anastasia slipping into your ear. Murdering 222 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: is killing everybody they're told to kill, and across the nation. 223 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: I should clarify this. The commission was nationwide and the 224 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: murders they committed were nationwide. We're not just talking about 225 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: New York City, Kansas City, LA, you name it. They 226 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: would go and finish the job. Well as all horrific, violent, 227 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: ugly things, there's an end date to it. Now, I 228 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: should clarify something, and this is gonna be applicable as 229 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: I tell our story today, the mafia then and now, 230 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's still the same with organized crime groups 231 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: around the world. The way they killed you was often significant. 232 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: They wanted to send a message to other people thinking 233 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: about doing what you're doing. If you were a witness 234 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: to a crime and chose to talk, you would be 235 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: shot in the eye. If you stole, you would have 236 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: your hands chopped off. And if you were a rat 237 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: or what they called a canary, because you would sing. 238 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: If you talk to the cops, they would kill you 239 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: and stuff a canary in your mouth. Canary was the 240 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: word they used for it back then. Bringing us to 241 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,479 Speaker 1: a mister abe Rellis. Ab Rellis, his nickname was kid Twist. 242 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: Don't ask me why. It's very strange. Abrellis he was 243 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: part of murder Ink. He was a killer. And he 244 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: finds himself busted because at this point in time, Thomas 245 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: Dewey was the Special Prosecutor of New York and he 246 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: was taking organized crime very seriously when no one else had. 247 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: He gets his hands on Abrellas, brings him in, and Abrellis, 248 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: as one of the first ones to ever do this, 249 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: decides he'd rather talk than go to the electric share. 250 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: Kind of understandable, I guess. And there's a problem for 251 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: organized crime. It's not just that he's talking. It turns 252 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: out abe Rellis had a photographic memory, and I'm not exaggerating, 253 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: had a photographic memory. Remembered everything you'd ever done, everybody 254 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: he'd ever worked with while doing it, remembered the minute 255 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: details of it. In fact, he was so detailed about 256 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: the horrific things they did at murder, inc. The stenographers 257 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: that take down the story, you know, as he's as 258 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: he's giving his story, they had to keep rotating them 259 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: out because they would get too sick listening to him 260 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: talk about all the ways they killed, maimed and tortured people. Yeah, 261 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: not great people. And of course, as you may imagine, 262 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: one of the people he had quite a lot to 263 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: say about was Albert Anastasia, the leader of the group. 264 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: You see, albert Anastasia was not just to hey, go 265 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: kill this guy, go kill that guy. It was more 266 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: of a hands on kind of boss. And in the 267 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: case of a mister Peter Ponto, hands on, well, I 268 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: guess you could say hands on took on a whole 269 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: new meeting. I'll tell you about mister Albert Anastasia and 270 00:20:29,040 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: Peter Ponto. And just the second the Jesse Kelly show, 271 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: abrillis busted in jail, decides to do the sing like 272 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: a canary thing and rat out all the organized crime 273 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: buddies he has, including mister Albert Anastasia. And what are 274 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: the stories he tells them is the story of Peter Ponto. Peter, 275 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: you see, he also worked on the docks. He was 276 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: not an organized crime guy. It was just a union dude. 277 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: He worked on the docks and he he didn't participate 278 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: in all the things Albert Anastasia did on the docks. 279 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: And I understand, like I told you before, the docks 280 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: were and are horrifically corrupt. In fact, back in these days, 281 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: they were so corrupt that it was almost treated like 282 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: a tax, as in, you're a business and you order 283 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: a thousand rolls of toilet paper from from France, you 284 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: would just build into the fact that I'm actually going 285 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: to get five hundred rolls of toilet paper by the 286 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: time it leaves France and gets to my shop, sticky 287 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: fingers are going to have rated me. It was. It 288 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: was that known. Peter Ponto didn't take any too kindly 289 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: to that. And one day Peter makes the grave, grave 290 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: mistake of accepting a ride from a limousine that pulled 291 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: over and offered it to him. Well, Albert Anastasia was 292 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: in that limousine. And remember when I said he was 293 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: a bit of a hands on boss. Yeah, he wrapped 294 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: his hands around the throat of Peter Ponto and didn't 295 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: let go until he was dead. He then took him 296 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: to a place I believe it was in New Jersey, 297 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: buried him in a did should, poured quicklime over him, 298 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: covered it back up. Would have never been found except 299 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: Abrellis now told the authorities about it. They went dug 300 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: up the body. And now albert Anastasia is in trouble. 301 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: The Commission is in trouble. They need something done about this. 302 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: Abrellas only there's a problem. Abrellis is under extreme police protection. 303 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: This is before you know, witness protection officially. But he 304 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: had five cops at a time guarding him twenty four 305 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: hours a day in a hotel Joe. One night he 306 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: goes to sleep. According to the cops, they checked on 307 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: him at three am. Then they went back in at 308 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: first light and he wasn't in his room anymore, and 309 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: the window was open and there were sheets tied together, 310 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: tied to the radiator of the room. That's weird. And 311 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: the cops, again, according to the cops, walked over, looked 312 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: out the window and there was Abrella splattered on the 313 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: pavement six floors down, trying to escape. I say, in 314 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: air fingers quotes, I think we all know exactly what 315 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: happened there. And remember how I told you They called 316 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: informants canaries. He was then labeled the canary who could 317 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: sing but could not fly. Now things are going okay 318 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: for Albert Anastasia, except the commission decides Murder Inc. Is 319 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: just too hot. Now we gotta fade to heat. We 320 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: got to close down Murder Inc. And they do. And 321 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: here's the problem. Albert Anastasia had done a lot of 322 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: work for the mafia, had killed a lot of people 323 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: for the mafia, had made a lot of sacrifices for 324 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: the mafia. And they, in turn, instead of making him 325 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: the boss, made him the underboss of the Mangano family. 326 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: They essentially, in Albert's eyes, slapped him in the face. 327 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: Now you're Albert Anastasia. You are not the number one man. 328 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: You're the number two man, essentially the number three man, 329 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: because it was the Vangano brothers who ran it. What 330 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: do you think Albert Anastasia does to handle that particular problem. 331 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: I've walked you through his life. You know what's that 332 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: old saying, If the only tool you have is a hammer, 333 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: everything looks like a nail. Well, Philip the younger brother, 334 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: they found him with three bullet holes in him. Vincent 335 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: the boss, they never found him at all, and that 336 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: is extremely against the Commission's rules. They called albert Anastasia 337 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: before them. He said, hey, I've done a lot for you. 338 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: It was self the fence. I didn't really do it, 339 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: but I kind of did it. Sorry, And they looked 340 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: the other way again and made him the boss of 341 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: the family. Except albert Anastasia is still albert Anastasia, and 342 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: you outsourced to him. And when you're trying to keep quiet, 343 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: albert Anastasia can't stop being albert Anastasia. Some plumber from 344 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: New Jersey named Charles Ferry and his wife they were 345 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: about to testify against albert Anastasia, and then they went 346 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: missing and their house was found splattered with blood. And 347 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: then to top it all off, Arnold Schuster had to 348 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: open his mouth. Now, I know what you're saying, Jesse, 349 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: who is Arnold Schuster? Well, it was really a nobody. 350 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: It's a clothing salesman, a shoe salesman. And he found 351 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: himself riding on I believe it was the subway. They 352 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: have been a train, I don't remember. Looks over and sees, 353 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's Willie Sutton. Now, Willie Sutton is 354 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: the most famous bank robber still of all time by 355 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: a mile. He is infamous. I cannot believe they haven't 356 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: made a dozen movies about the guy. He broke out 357 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: of prison three times. He never hurt a person, he 358 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: would use fake guns, he never hurt anybody, never shot anybody. 359 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: He just loved robbing banks and was great at robbing banks. 360 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: And once they asked him why he robbed the banks, 361 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: and he said, because that's where the money is. And 362 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: he never read it on anybody. And he was just 363 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: a stud in the criminal underworld. He was a stud, famous, 364 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: famous person, fascinating individual. And at this point he had 365 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: broken out of prison again and had been on the 366 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: lamb for two years. Mister Arnold Schuster, the clothing salesman, 367 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: looks over and says, Wow, that's Willie Sutton. And Arnold 368 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: Schuster does what a good citizen would do, and he 369 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: goes and tells the cops. The cops arrest Willie Sutton 370 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: and throw him into prison. Now I know what you're saying, 371 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: would Jesse, what said I have to do with albert Anastasia. Well, 372 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: that's that's my point. Nothing except albert Anastasia hated people 373 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: who talk to the police and Arnold Schuster was treated 374 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: like a legend for about fifteen minutes. He's all over 375 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: the all over the newspapers. They're celebrating. The mayor gave 376 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: him an award. This is what you want to be. 377 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: And albert Anastasia, because he's Albert Anastasia in a homicidal maniac. 378 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: He gets mad and he decides to ignore one of 379 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: the sacred rules of the commission. And they found Arnold 380 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: Schuster with a bullet hole in his groin and one 381 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: in each eye. And that was that, you see, that 382 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: was finally the bridge too far. Eventually albert Anastasia walked 383 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: into the Hotel Park Sheridan, as he did every single day. 384 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: He was a freak about his appearance, which is funny 385 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: when you think about the kind of guy he was. 386 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: But he would go to the Hotel Park Sheridan and 387 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: get his hair trimmed every single day. And he would 388 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: get a shave. Now, for those of you who've never 389 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: had a professional shave, I'm talking to you, know, you 390 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: non Italian women and the dudes. When you get a 391 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: professional shave, you lay down and they put all these 392 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: creams and things on your face before they take the 393 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: straight razor to it. But what they do always, and 394 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: honestly it's always made me a little uncomfortable since I 395 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: read this story. What they do is they wrap your 396 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: face up in steaming towels to open up the pores 397 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: and soften your facial hair. Make sure you get a 398 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: nice smooth shave without slicing your face up. Albert Anastasia 399 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: lays down that day and the barber's shop gets his 400 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: face wrapped up, and wouldn't you know it, his driver 401 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: slash bodyguard happened to be across the street getting breakfast, which, 402 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: if the mafia commission once you're dead, is not where 403 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: your bodyguard should be. You're listening to the Jessie Kelly show. 404 00:30:49,040 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: You're Welcome Hotel Park Sheridan, nineteen fifty seven. Albert Anastasia 405 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: is laying in a barber chair, towels wrapped around his face. 406 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: Two gunmen walk in start firing bullets into him. Albert 407 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: Anastasia is, as you may imagine, not one to just 408 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: take that laying down, springs out of his chair to 409 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: try to fight them. Is clearly confused because he's covered 410 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: in towels and being shot, so he charges at the men, 411 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: shooting him. Only he accidentally charges the mirror. He charges 412 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: is their reflection in the mirror instead of the men 413 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: themselves slips on all the towels and the blood and 414 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: the wetness and everything else. One of them fires a 415 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: bullet into his head, and that, as they say, is 416 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: all she wrote. Again, if you're sitting in front of 417 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: your computer, you can look up albert Anastasia and you 418 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: will see him laying dead on the barbershop floor in 419 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: all of his glory. Now where did the commission go wrong? 420 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: While they went wrong in the same way many people 421 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: have gone wrong throughout history. You can talk about and 422 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. Maybe I'll do another show 423 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: on this. You can talk about the Romans and their 424 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: praetorian guard. The emperor would put in a praetorian guard, 425 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: and they're going to protect us. And eventually the praetorian 426 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: guard looks around one day and says, well, I'm the 427 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: only one around here with the sword. Someone tell me 428 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: why I shouldn't be in charge. When they chose to 429 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: outsource all the violent stuff, all the muscle to one man, 430 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: one group, well you get what you get. We all 431 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: have to be careful in life. Who and what we 432 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: outsource too? You do this too, I do this too 433 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: too much personal protection? You hear me talk about it 434 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 1: all the time. Do you outsource your personal protection? Somebody 435 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: breaks in your home? Are the cops coming? Or you're dead? 436 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: Is that your situation? You're Donald Trump? You have an 437 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: economic crisis, you have a pandemic on your hands. Who 438 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: were outsourcing too? What are their motive ovations? You can 439 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: outsource all the decision making to an infectious disease doctor, 440 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: but there's a problem there. In the same way Albert 441 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: Anastasia's solution is always just to go shoot somebody in 442 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: the face, an infectious disease doctor, not even faulting him. 443 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: His solution is always going to be what more quarantines, 444 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: more medical treatment, everybody stay home only. America is not 445 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: a disease. America is not a disease. America has a disease, 446 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: but America is many things. There are many concerns that 447 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: go into a country of three hundred and thirty million people. 448 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: And if you outsource the decision making to an effect 449 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: acious disease doctor, well, I just got word from Goldman's sacks. 450 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: They're estimating workforce participation to be under sixty percent people. 451 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: That's a great depression. That's what happens when you outsource 452 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: the decision making, when you outsource to the wrong guy. 453 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know what you're saying, Well, what choice 454 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: did we have? And I should clarify, as you can tell, 455 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: my history segment went a little along today and I 456 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: have other fun stories that I'm going to enjoy talking about. 457 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: So let me just be clear. This might be no promises, 458 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: this might be the last you hear me talk about 459 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: coronavirus today. You're beating over the face with it endlessly. 460 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: It's all there is out there. We're going to have 461 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: some fun today. But let me just say this, whether 462 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with it, this was not the 463 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: only way, and it was absolutely not the only thing. 464 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: Other countries have tried. Sweden, South Korea. I'm looking at 465 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: an article from Forbes right now. Sweden has no coronavirus, 466 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: but can it last? Sweden is seeing lots of their 467 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: death tolls peak. They didn't shut down schools, they didn't 468 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: shut down restaurants. Sweden didn't line up their economy and 469 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: shoot it in the back of the head. I'm not 470 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: saying they're right. I'm not. I don't know. We won't 471 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: know till this is done. But I'm saying this. There 472 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: were other ways. There are other ways, countries have done 473 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,959 Speaker 1: different things. And understand this, This virus is coming back. 474 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: Most likely. History tells us there's going to be a 475 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: second wave. So if we get that second wave, are 476 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: we going to do this again? Are the American people 477 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: even going to be willing to do this again? What 478 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: if that second wave comes in a couple of months, 479 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: We're open back up, We're finally starting to claw back, 480 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: We're getting rolling. Do you think the American people are 481 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: even going to allow you to lock them in their 482 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: homes again? Be careful who you outsourced too, Jesse Kelly, 483 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 484 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 485 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: What Look, and I get that the holsters not the 486 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms.

I'm 492 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: not discounting that. But I've known so many people who 493 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 494 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 495 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 496 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: at a time.
