1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show. 2 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the 3 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Wednesday, And it is 4 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: time to check out, meaning it's time to check out 5 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: of current events in the news of the day. 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I will get back to talk about these things. The 7 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: police officer who's in illegal, We're gonna talk about four 8 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: thousand troops parked off the coast of Venezuela. We're gonna 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: talk about Adam Schiff maybe going to prison. We're gonna 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: do some emails, We're gonna do other things, but all 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: that is going to have to wait, because now it 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: is time to do history. I don't know how long. 13 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna take. Maybe a half hour, maybe an hour, 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know. It's a longer one like the 15 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: other ones have been. But let me ask you something. 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Have you ever have you ever been fascinated with the 17 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: origin of words, of terms that are commonly used. I'm 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: rarely fascinated by it. I'll be honest with you, as in, 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to look into it. But then I'll 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: discover the origin of a term and I'll be all, Wow, 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: that's amazing. Have you ever used the word deadline. I'm 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: on a deadline. I have a deadline. I'm on a deadline. 23 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: Would you like to hear where that term came from? 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: You're about to find out today. Now, this is a 25 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Civil War story, and so we have to do quite 26 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: a bit of background, or at least a little bit 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: of background to kind of set up the situation. Here. 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: We are going to discuss Andersonville. It was actually officially 29 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Camp Sumter. No it's not Fort Sumter, but Camp Sumter, 30 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: but it's known by the name of the small town 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: in Georgia that is close to where it was located. Andersonville. 32 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: It was a Confederate prisoner of war camp. That is 33 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: going to be the subject we're going through today. But 34 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: before we get to there, let's talk about kind of 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: the war, the way it went, the way it was 36 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: set up, and what was happening at the time. So obviously, 37 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: you know North facing the South Civil War. A lot 38 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: of people don't know unless you've looked into it, unless 39 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: you've kind of expanded beyond a little more than you'll 40 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: probably get in a history class. They don't know that 41 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: the South never had much of a chance in the 42 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: Civil War. That was because of logistics and manpower. They 43 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: didn't have the industry, they didn't have the wealth. I 44 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: would actually compare it to what we've talked about before 45 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: when it comes to Japan VERSUS America and World War Two. 46 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: Japan had an excellent frontline. You know, great navy, great 47 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: fighter planes, initially, great troops. They were really good, and 48 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: a lot of ways they were better than we were initially. 49 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: But the problem is if you are better but you 50 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: can't build more stuff. You don't have enough stuff to 51 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: make more stuff, more ships, more planes, more bullets, more everything. 52 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: Things are going to break. If you can't replace it, 53 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: you will lose. The longer it goes on. You can't 54 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: win the longer it goes on, and you can be worse. 55 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: You can be a worse fighter, you can even in 56 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: some ways have worse stuff than someone else does. But 57 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: if you can just build more stuff and replace more 58 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: stuff than if it goes on long enough, you'll win. 59 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: If you have a great cutting edge and nothing behind it, 60 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: you better win quickly, quickly, fast, because if it goes on, 61 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: because time is your enemy. I'll put it to you 62 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: that way. That's exactly what the South was. Pretty much 63 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: what the South was facing when it comes to the 64 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: Civil War or the War of Northern Aggression, depending on 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: where you're listening to the sound of my voice. The 66 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: story was in the beginning, and this is I don't 67 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: know that you can really debate this. Of course, you 68 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: can debate anything. But the South had better military leaders. 69 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: They had better generals, Robert E. Lee in particular, but 70 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean so many under him, Stonewall Jackson, so many others. 71 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: Remember Lincoln's first pick to lead the Union Army was 72 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: not McLellan. He wanted Robert E. Lee. He's like, I 73 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: want that guy, and Lee said, no, I'm fighting for 74 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: the other side. Sorry, best of luck. They had great leadership, 75 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: they had an excellent, excellent initial crop of troops. For 76 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: this simple fact, the the South was more rural than 77 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: the North. It wasn't that there weren't rural areas in 78 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: the North, but the North is going to be more 79 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: bigger cities, bigger industrial areas, and rural troops have always 80 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: made better troops. I don't care if that offends you. 81 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: I know there are a million exceptions, so don't email me. 82 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn, and obviously I know, I know, I 83 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: know there are exceptions. But this is just simply easy 84 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: to explain. Rural troops go into the military already ten 85 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: steps ahead of the urban troop because he's more comfortable 86 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: with firearms, he's more comfortable sleeping outdoors. It's just more 87 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: comfortable with a lot of things that are part and 88 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: parcel for the military. When I was in the Marine Corps, 89 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: we would do things like we would go out to 90 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: the field and do field ops. Well, I grew up 91 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: hunting and fishing and camping in the mountains of Montana. 92 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: That's what we were always doing. I grow up shooting 93 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: with my dad. Firearms were I was familiar with them. 94 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: And it wasn't that my buddy from Chicago, I've about 95 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: to said his name about my buddy from Chicago, wasn't 96 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: like that. He wasn't just as good or even a 97 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: better marine than I was. I started out so far 98 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: ahead of him. He never even there are bugs. Yeah, 99 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: there are bugs. We're outside, of course there are bugs. 100 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: That it's just different. The South had better troops initially, 101 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: but as the war progressed, the South simply couldn't replace 102 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: those troops and couldn't. More importantly, and this is going 103 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: to come into play in our story, they couldn't replace 104 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: the stuff you need to fight a war. You know, 105 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something right now. If you were in 106 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: a situation where it was just you and your mother, 107 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: You and your mother, You're in a bunker, very safe, 108 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: secure bunker, and you have all the food in water 109 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: you could ever want. And who are the baddest people 110 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: on the planet. Delta Fores we use deltaphes and Delta 111 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: forhes showed up outside of your bunker trying to get 112 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you out. They didn't have much food, they didn't ad 113 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: much water. They better get you out quickly. You know 114 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: you're going to defeat Delta force. Even the toughest guy 115 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: on the planet has to eat or he dies. Even 116 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: the toughest guy on the planet has to drink water 117 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: or he dies. The South started to lose. Now, let's 118 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: go to Richmond, Virginia. Richmond, Virginia was the capital of 119 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: the South during the Civil War, and there is all 120 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: kinds of fighting that take place around Richmond, Virginia. We're 121 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: going to focus right now for our purposes on the 122 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: year eighteen sixty three. Though, okay, don't worry about the date, 123 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: it's not important. But the year is eighteen sixty three, 124 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: and there's all this fighting around Richmond, Virginia. Now, we 125 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: because we are so blessed to be here in this country, 126 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: we don't necessarily understand the logistics of food. We'll just 127 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: focus on food for right now. We don't think about 128 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the logistics of it right because what do you do 129 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: when you want something to eat? You go down to 130 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: a restaurant, or you go to the grocery store. Or 131 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I realized it'd be a bodega if you're in New 132 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: York City listening to me or something like that. But 133 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: there's a store close to you where you go buy 134 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: meat and eggs and cheese and bread and things. Okay, 135 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: you got me there, But where did that food that's 136 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: in your store come from? We see, this is why 137 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: we don't realize how spoil we are everywhere. I can 138 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: go down to Agib. Agib is a huge grocery store 139 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: chain in Texas. I can go down to Agib, I 140 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: have one fifteen minutes from my house. I can go 141 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: down to Chib right now, and I can pick up ingredients, 142 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: food ingredients from not just all over the country, all 143 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: over the world. I can grab an avocado from Mexico. 144 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: I can go get all of oil from Italy. I 145 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: can go get if I want to spend the money, 146 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: I can walk into hb in Texas and access food 147 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: items that come from all over the planet. That is 148 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: not how most human beings have lived throughout history. Most 149 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: food throughout history, because of the logistics of getting food 150 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: to and fro. Most food throughout history is locally sourced, 151 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: locally sourced. So what's this mean? I mean today today 152 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: we have kind of an older way of thinking when 153 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: it comes to where do you get the best this 154 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: or best that? Like, where can you get the best 155 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: lobster role? Most people would say, well, you got to 156 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: go to Maine, That's where the lobster is. Oh, you 157 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: got to go to Boston's where the lobster is. I 158 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: just went to Boston. He ate to lobster role. Best 159 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: lobster role I've ever had in my life is in 160 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: a parking lot here in Houston, Texas. Why there's a 161 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: place a food truck here. They fly in fresh main 162 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: lobster every morning. I can have a lobster roll just 163 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: as fresh as your main lobster right here, right here. 164 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: It was not always like that. You have to get 165 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: local stuff. We'll go back to Virginia.

Jesseat Jesse kellyshow 191 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: dot com. I'ven't decided what's going to be next after 192 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: this one, at least as far as history goes. We'll 193 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: get back to politics in just a little bit. So Richmond, 194 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Virginia is the capital of the South during the Civil 195 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: War and they are having a problem. You see, all 196 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: these battles are popping up. The South doesn't have the industry. 197 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: They don't have the stuff they need, not just for 198 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: the troops, for their own civilians. As I mentioned, logistics 199 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: is not sexy, but it is important. The people who 200 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: live in Virginia, the people who live around Richmond, they 201 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: don't have enough stuff. And what they're encountering is there 202 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: are lots and lots of POWs from the North held 203 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: in camps around Richmond, and they're hoovering up all the food. 204 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: I heard. Look, I heard a bunch of different estimates. 205 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: I've been doing so much reading and studying things on this. 206 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: I heard one in five, I heard one in ten, whatever, 207 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the number is, one in five or one in ten 208 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: people around Richmond was a Union pow at one point 209 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: in time. That's ten to twenty percent of the population 210 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: you're trying to feed. There's not enough food already, not 211 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: enough food for the civilians, not enough plus plus you're 212 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: really close to the north, you're close to the northern lines. 213 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: They're worried about these POWs escaping. They're being a rebellion. 214 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: What if the Union freese these camps. What if the Okay, 215 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: so we got to move them. We have to move 216 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: them south. Now, there's another part of the reason they 217 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: had to move them, and that was it's known as 218 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: the Dix Hill System, the Dick's Hill Exchange system, you 219 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: could also call it. Those were who those were. It 220 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: was one Union guy and one Confederate guy, and what 221 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: they had was a prisoner exchange system they had established. 222 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: It's actually really fascinating. I took a huge nerdy deep 223 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: dive into it, which I won't get into with you 224 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: because you would hate me for it. But it essentially 225 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: came down to this, Hey, let's understand, hopefully we're going 226 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: to come together after this. Let's understand we want to 227 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: exchange troops. Let's come up with a value for every 228 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: type of soldier based on their rank, and from time 229 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: to time, let's do in exchange. Now, when I say 230 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: a value, I mean this. The officers are going to 231 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: be worth more in that value system than an enlisted man. 232 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: You know, a general is going to be worth more 233 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: than a private. So let's say a general's worth one 234 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty points and a private's worth five points. Okay, well, 235 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: you go find me ten privates. Wait, that wouldn't be right. 236 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: It's more than ten, chrisp ten five five. Go find 237 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: me thirty privates. That adds up to one fifty. I'll 238 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: give you your general back. You see what I mean. 239 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: A prisoner exchange system. They had different locations for the 240 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: prison exchange system. Where I show up with my guys, 241 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: you show up with your guys. There's a representative from 242 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: each time we exchange prisoners. Okay, we're gonna go. You 243 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: got it. Prisoner exchange system. It broke down. It broke 244 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: down for several different reasons. One of the main ones 245 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: is they begin to lie. Each side begin to lie 246 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: because you're trying to fudge the values, fudge the numbers 247 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: if you will, so you can get more valuable people 248 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: back and not give them valuable people. So that's a 249 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: big part of it. Another part of it was the 250 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,479 Speaker 1: North had black people in its army. The South obviously 251 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: did not. The South did not treat black POWs as 252 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: if they were POW's. They essentially treated them like they 253 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: were escapees. It treated them like they were property. They 254 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: would just flat out kill them. That angered the North. 255 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: And those are the reasons you mainly read. But there 256 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: is one reason above all. The decision was made to 257 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: essentially shut down the prison exchange system. And none of 258 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: the none of the good reasons they try to give 259 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: you are as cold and calculating as the real reason 260 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the prison exchange systems shut down. The real reason was this, 261 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: Lincoln or Ulysses S. Grant, depending on who you believe, 262 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: the North shut down the prison exchange system because the 263 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: North had more men. The North had more men than 264 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: the South. So if we simply stop exchanging people, even 265 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: if every one of our Union soldiers died in Southern captivity, 266 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: we can replace them. You can't replace your men. Think 267 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: about the World War two, comparison we made. If Japan 268 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: has three aircraft carriers and can't replace them, If America 269 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: has three and can replace them, and let's say they're 270 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: captured by the other side, America would probably say, well, 271 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: keep our aircraft carriers. I don't care, you can't build more. 272 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: That same system happened, and so again it was either 273 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: a Blincoln. The sources are all weird. It was either 274 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: a Blincoln or Ulysses S. Grant, depending on who you 275 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: believe that. Everyone has a different opinion. But the North 276 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: shut down the prison exchange system. There's no more dix 277 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: Hill prison exchange system. You South, we are keeping all 278 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: your prisoners, and guess what you can keep ours. We 279 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: will outlast you. We have more men, we have more stuff. 280 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: Best of luck to you. So now the South has 281 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: to figure out what to do, because it's not like 282 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: you just have the men you currently have. The South 283 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: is still winning battles, the South is still taking in prisoners. 284 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: What to do? What to do? They found a big 285 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: spot in Georgia and decided this was going to be 286 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: their spot. And now we have to go to Hell 287 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: known as Andersonville. Before we go there, working with terrible 288 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: people as Hell isn't it showing up at work? Who's 289 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: that guy? Who's that girl who works for you? That 290 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: makes you WinCE every time you see them, or they 291 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: walk in your office because you know it's going to 292 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: be a problem. They're going to have some drama. It's awful, 293 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: isn't it awful? And you don't think you can fire 294 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: them because it's so hard to find good people. It's 295 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: not hard anymore.

So the South, it's 310 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three. They have too many Union prisoners. The 311 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: Union won't exchange them anymore because they know they have 312 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: more men. In the end, they win. The prisoners around 313 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Richmond are eating up all the food. The residents are upset. 314 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: The prisoners are too close to the northern lines, and 315 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: so they find a place outside of a small town 316 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: in Georgia called Andersonville, and they think to themselves, well, 317 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: this is where we'll put them all. Now. I can't 318 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: stress how terrible the supply situation was for the South 319 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: at this time. When they began construction of the Andersonville 320 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: prison camp. The troops themselves were not getting enough food, blankets, 321 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: clothing that the South didn't have enough stuff. Without another 322 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: major nation partnering with the South, the South was never 323 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: going to win the Civil War. It simply was not 324 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: possible logistically for them to do so. As they may valiant, 325 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: as they may have fought, they were never going to 326 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: win this war. And now the stuff situation is getting 327 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse. They start building this camp. 328 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: At first, they just put a big wall. The camp 329 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: is shaped like a rectangle. And some of this stuff 330 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: is going to be really really important, so you're gonna 331 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: have to pay attention to it. The camp is shaped 332 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: like it's a big rectangle. Okay, it's in essentially a 333 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: big open field. There's a slope to it. There is 334 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: you can go look at it to this day. In fact, 335 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: there's a million YouTube videos on it. You can go 336 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,239 Speaker 1: look at exactly what I'm talking about. But picture a 337 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: big open field in Georgia, surrounded by woods, and they 338 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: just start building a wall, a wall without anything in it. 339 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: There's a place for the campguards and such to sleep, 340 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: but everything else is just a big open field. And 341 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: and some of this is gonna get gross. I'm sorry, 342 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: but I have to describe what our Americans have gone through. 343 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: There was a stream going through the camp, you know, 344 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: the long side of the rectangle and the short side 345 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: of the rectangle, the short lines on the rectangle. The 346 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: stream paralleled the short lines and it divided the camp 347 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: into a little stream. The camp is half built in 348 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: February of eighteen sixty four, but the South can't wait 349 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: any longer. They began to start shuttling prisoners into this camp. 350 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: There is a train station nearby. They show up on 351 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: the trains, they bring them into the camp. Already, we 352 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: have a humanitarian nightmare on our hands. As I just said, 353 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: there's no quarters, there's no barracks, there's nothing but a field. 354 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: This place was designed to hold ten thousand troops. At 355 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: its peak, it held thirty three thousand troops. Thirty three 356 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: thousand troops with no cover, no facilities, no nothing, herded 357 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: in like cattle to a fenced in open field in Georgia. 358 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: In Georgia, I don't know if you know this, it 359 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: gets really really hot, It gets really really cold. It's 360 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: not just that they don't have a roof over their heads, 361 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: they don't have the proper clothing. And remember we talked 362 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: about how the troops and the civilians weren't eating. Well, 363 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: here's the thing about prisons, and this is true today. 364 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: What are the worst prisons in the world today? They're 365 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: from poor countries. Why well, when you don't have the 366 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: money to create a decent prison, decent beds, decent food, 367 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: a poor country's not going to take its limited resources 368 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: and put any of those resources into prisons and prisoners. 369 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: They're simply going to build cages and toss them whatever 370 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: scraps of food they happen to have left. The worst 371 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: prisons are poor prisons. What we're dealing with here is 372 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: logistically an unbelievably poor country in the South. They don't 373 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: have enough food. Our guys don't have housing, they don't 374 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: have clothes, and they get a tiny minuscule amount of 375 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: food every day. It essentially amounts to a little bit 376 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: of salt in corn meal. But most of the time 377 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: they couldn't even cook the corn meal into a cake 378 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: or something because firewood was also forbidden in Andersonville. They 379 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: didn't want prisoners starting fires and escaping. Now let's get gross. 380 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: The stream thirty three thousand men, one stream, one stream. 381 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: In order to get water for yourself bathe that is important. 382 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: You have to clean your body, laundry. Remember we don't 383 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: have changes of clothes. You better get naked at some 384 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: point in time, clean your clothes one stream to use 385 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: as a bathroom. Now pause for a moment. This is 386 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: one of those things that is really really gross, and 387 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: it's about to be a little gross. I'm sorry, but 388 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: we do have to discuss it. It's the least sexy 389 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: part of war. Bathroom waste. What do you do with it? 390 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: It's one of the things America is so good at 391 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: because we've spent so many years studying it in logistics 392 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: and whatnot. I remember one of the first things we 393 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: did when we were in Iraq and we left Bagdad 394 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: and we went to some tiny dump of a town 395 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: called Najaf. We seize control of a walled in farmer's 396 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: market they had, and it was day one. Immediately, where 397 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: are we using the bathroom? Build bathroom facilities over there. 398 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: Now they weren't nice, don't get me wrong. It wasn't 399 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: flushable toilets or anything like that. But let's immediately designate 400 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: a place because we have to isolate the waste where 401 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: all that disease in bacteria grows. If you are in 402 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: a big fenced in camp without flushable toilets, there's no 403 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: indoor plumbing. You have to have to use the stream 404 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: as essentially your flushable toilet. When you use the bathroom, 405 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: you have to use it into the stream, so all 406 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: that bacteria fodder flows out in a way from you. 407 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: Well that's a problem, but look, this is the military. 408 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: We have adult men in there, men in charge the prisoners, 409 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: so they knew they had to come up with a system, obviously, 410 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: and the system is it's a pretty obvious system, one 411 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: you've probably figured out for yourself. Let's go as far 412 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: upstream as we can. That is where we will pull 413 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: the water out to drink. Right, that's where we'll pull 414 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: it out to drink. The next system down, that's where 415 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: we will clean ourselves. The next system down, that's where 416 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: we will clean our clothes. And then as far down 417 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: stream as you can possibly get in the camp, that's 418 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: where we will use the stream as a toilet. They 419 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: weren't morons. They knew what they were doing. They understood 420 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: that's how well it had to be set up, And 421 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: in fact, they constructed for themselves what essentially is a 422 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: wooden wall system along the stream. You can go look 423 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: it up by the way, if you'd like to. Right 424 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: now you'll see men washing their clothes and men sitting 425 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: over the wall going boopy in the stream. You can 426 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: go look at a picture of it. To this day 427 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: in Andersonville, they had a system set up. But I 428 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: want to again stress it was a system designed for 429 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: ten thousand men, not thirty three thousand men, and there 430 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: was a flaw in the stream system the Union troops 431 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: could not possibly hold or could not possibly help. We'll 432 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: discuss those two things. Before we discuss those two things, 433 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: let's discuss nutrition, because that's going to come into play 434 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: here in a moment too. Do you get everything your 435 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: body needs from what you eat? Then we go ahead 436 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and it for you. No, because most people don't. When 437 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I tell you about a male vitality stack from Chop 438 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: or a female vitality stack, depending on who you are, 439 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: I usually talk about energy and focus and things like that. 440 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: But Chalk Daily is part of that stack. No matter what. 441 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: Even if you don't get a male vitality stack or 442 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: a female vitality stack, you should be having a Chalk 443 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: daily every single day. Remember these are natural nutritional supplements 444 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: of the highest quality from the hardcore anti communists at Chalk. 445 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: You know that you will see a difference in your life, 446 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: in your body and your fingernails, in your energy. Just 447 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: chalk daily.

Doing a 453 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: little history right now, we'll get back to politics here. 454 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean guessed ten minutes that hopefully I'll finish this 455 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: up ten to twenty minutes and then we'll get back 456 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: to more politics. Talking about Andersonville Pow Camp. Essentially, it 457 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: was known as Camp Sumter. We call it Andersonville in 458 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: the South. In World War Two. The camp is supposed 459 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: to be ten thousand men expanse to thirty three thousand 460 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: the South. They do bring in some more resources for 461 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: the camp as far as wood and materials go, but 462 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: materials are rare and they only use the materials to 463 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: expand the wall system. Now I mentioned the stream, and 464 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned the diet human beings. We talk about this 465 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: all the time when we talk about our own nutrition. 466 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: When I tell you about chalk, when I tell you 467 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: about rough greens for your dog. You have to have things. 468 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: You need things. Your body has to have certain vitamins 469 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: and minerals your diet. You have to have them in there, 470 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: and if you don't, you will begin to see physical 471 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: evidence of it. Scurvy. Have you ever heard of scurvy? 472 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: It's awful. Your gums swell up, your teeth fall out, 473 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: your mouth bleeds. Why do you get that you don't 474 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: get vitamin C? It was one of the big struggles 475 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: of oceanic explorer. Explorers, guys who got on those old 476 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: sailing chips. How do you keep fruit good long enough 477 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: so we can get vitamin C in our diet. They 478 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: may not have known everything we know about medicine, but 479 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: they knew without fruit, the clock is ticking. We will 480 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: get sick and die Scurvy. Scurvy becomes everywhere. It spreads 481 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: like wildfire. And Andersonville another thing that starts to spread 482 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: like wildfire. There is disease, several different kinds. But for 483 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: our purposes here, I hope you're not eating. We're going 484 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: to discuss dysentery. Now. I've had dysentery. That's one of 485 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: the two parasites I've had. I know that you know 486 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: what it's like to be physically sick in a way 487 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: where you have to use the toilet. Okay, I'll just 488 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: put it that way. I know you know what that's like. 489 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: Everyone knows what that's like. Everyone's had a bad chili dog, right, 490 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: I know you know what that's like. I can't stress 491 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: to you enough when I tell you that is not 492 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: what dysentery is like. If you took if you took 493 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: a little midget and you shrunk him down even more 494 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: so he's a four inch tall midget and you gave 495 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: him two gigantic swords and then swallowed him. Imagine that 496 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: little midget jamming his swords into your gut. That's what 497 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: dysinterior feels like. And when it's time to go, it's 498 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: not a hold out for five minute type thing. You 499 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: are in physical agony and you better be at the 500 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: toilet or it's going to be a problem. And it's 501 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: not a one off where normally when you get sick 502 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: in that way, you get sick, and even if you're 503 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: super sick, you've got twenty minutes half hour before you 504 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: have to worry about it again. You'll go five minutes later, 505 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: go again, five minutes later, go again. You can't you 506 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: can't stop. Now what else it's doing. On top of 507 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: sucking nutrients out of your body, it's sucking water out 508 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: of your body, and it's contagious, thirty three thousand men. 509 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: You can't get to the stream every time you have 510 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: to go when there's thirty three thousand men. And even if, 511 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: by the grace of God, you managed to get to 512 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: the stream, it's not possible for you to locate the 513 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: exact spot on the stream where you're supposed to go. 514 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: I had to describe it because I wanted to drive 515 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: this point home. You're going, no matter what, you are going, 516 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: stream not stream, whatever you're doing, you are going the 517 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: midget stabbing you. You are going what the men describe 518 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: all of them when they arrive in Andersonville. The new 519 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: Andersonville POWs all of them. Every single thing I read 520 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: was smell. Andersonville became oh my gosh, I have the scream. 521 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: He's just thinking about it. Andersonville became a mud bog 522 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: lot of mud. Could you imagine what it would be 523 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: like to live in a mud bog of diarrhea? On 524 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: top of the disgustingness of that, the smell of that, 525 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: the disease that would spread. You're not getting nutrition, you're 526 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: not getting water. Now the water you have is already bad. 527 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: And oh, I meant to mention to you, you know 528 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: how they had set up that system where the clean 529 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: waters on one side, and then the laundry and then 530 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: the toilet. The Confederate Army they set up a camp upstream, 531 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: and they were using the stream the same way. So 532 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: even where you thought you were getting clean drinking water, 533 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: you were still getting the toilet residue from the Confederate 534 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: camp that was up the way. Do you want to 535 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: hear a jaw dropping stat before we try to wrap 536 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: this thing up. We've talked many times about the Jackjapanese 537 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: in World War Two and their unimaginable cruelty, especially to POW's. 538 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: Most people know, some don't that if you actually, if 539 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: you were an American and you were captured by the Nazis, 540 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: there was very little cruelty. Believe it or not, you 541 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: were treated quite well. Two percent death rate. They fed you, 542 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: clothed you, you were warm, you were there. Are are 543 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: our Allied POWs were treated quite well in Europe. In Japan, 544 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: you know what, the death rate was twenty six percent. 545 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: A quarter of them who went in there died. You 546 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: know what the death rate was in Andersonville twenty nine 547 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: Andersonville had a death rate that exceeded Japanese pow camps 548 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: in World War Two, men dying in droves, a third 549 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: of them gone. The disease was terrible. And then that 550 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: brings us to maybe the worst part of this whole thing, 551 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: And it really might be. And I swear I'll try 552 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: to wrap this up next. What happens when men become desperate, 553 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: desperate from disease, desperate from hunger, even your disciplined military 554 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: men with unity. What happens when men become desperate enough. 555 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: We will talk about that as we wrap this up 556 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: in a moment. Now, all this talk of vitamins and 557 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: minerals and digestive issues hopefully has you thinking about rough greens. 558 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: You know your dog needs those things too. Maybe you 559 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: don't look at your dog and think, well, his coat 560 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: is dull because you're with your dog every day. But 561 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: your dog's coat is dull because your dog doesn't get nutrition. 562 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: Your dog does not get nutrition from dog food unless 563 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,959 Speaker 1: you are finding a way to get real nutrition into 564 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: your dog. Your dog essentially eats fast food every meal, 565 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: empty calories. Sprinkle roughgreens on your dog's foods so your 566 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: dog can live longer, so your dog can be healthier. 567 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: How much money did you spend the last time you 568 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: had to take him to the vet. What if you 569 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: didn't have to go was often. That's something else you'll 570 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: notice when you start giving your dog nutrition.
