We're gonna talk about all that today on 41 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. But first let's go to Mexico. 42 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Let's go to Mexico and talk about a do you're 43 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: going to like by the time this story is over? 44 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: I think I think you're going to like him. You 45 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: have anybody in your life or anybody you've seen on 46 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: TV that prompts you to say this when you see 47 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: them or when you see them doing something where you 48 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: constantly are saying, this freaking guy, anyone like that, you 49 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: probably have someone like you have some version of that, 50 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: maybe given it given your my listener, you probably maybe 51 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: have a different version of that. But this freaking guy. 52 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: When I was digging through Santa Anna last night, I 53 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: found myself saying that like ten times and laughing to myself. 54 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there going over things for the show 55 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: and going over the man's life, and I'm constantly all, wait, 56 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: what he did? What? This freaking guy? He is a nutball. 57 00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: Now I can't decide what I think of him as 58 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: a whole. If you're an American, and definitely for my 59 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: Texas listeners, you were not brought up to think very 60 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: highly of Santa Anna. And we will go over why 61 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: here in a while that is perfectly understandable. You think 62 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: he's a butcher, the hitler of Mexico. I guess you 63 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,559 Speaker 1: could make that argument. The people in Mexico didn't seem 64 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: to know what to make him him. I will tell 65 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: you this. My overall impression I'm gonna lead with this 66 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: now before we dig into his story, is he was 67 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: a man made for the time he lived in. That's 68 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: what I will say about him. What is that time? Well, 69 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: he was born in the late seventeen hundred, seventeen ninety four, 70 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Don't worry about the days. Late seventeen hundreds. 71 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: He's born and Vera Cruz. And let's pause for just 72 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: a moment and talk about Vera Cruz because it's actually 73 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: to come into play in our story. It's in the 74 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Golf Coast part of Mexico. Okay, you understand me so far. 75 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: They have a bit of a mosquito problem down there, 76 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: a huge mosquito problem down there. And then as now, 77 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: mosquitos are absolutely well, they're horrible. And I don't just 78 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: mean because of the itchy bumpies they give you. I 79 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: mean because they carry deadly diseases. But people die by 80 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: the millions every year to this day because of mosquito 81 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: born viruses. The Golf coast where Santa Anna is born, 82 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: it has a bad yellow fever problem, a really really 83 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: bad yellow fever problem. But the thing is, like most diseases, 84 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: once enough of a certain area gets exposed to it, 85 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: oftentimes the people who still are alive develop an immunity 86 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: for it. Let's just go ahead and take that little 87 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: tidbit and put that in your back pocket. Now, he 88 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: grows up in a middle class family, and let's discuss 89 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: for a moment classes. Because you an American, if well, 90 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: this is for my American list, there's some there are 91 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: some foreigners who listen to my show. This will make 92 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: sense too. We don't really understand classes here, and that's 93 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: a wonderful thing. It is a wonderful thing. You are 94 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: very very blessed if you don't fully understand classes. And no, 95 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about lower class or middle class or 96 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: upper class, depending on well, if you make over one 97 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: hundred thousand. No, no, no, no no, no. You have to 98 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: understand the society that Santa Anna is born into. One. 99 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: This is a Spanish colony at this point in our story, 100 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: and classes in other society's indefinitely. Here we're not lower, middle, 101 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: and upper. It was okay, here's the aristocratic class. Here 102 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: are the people who will lead you in, be in 103 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: charge of you, and you will do as you're told. 104 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: There's kind of what we would consider our middle class. 105 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: And there, of course above all those lower class. This is, 106 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: but they're not allowed in the aristocratic class. Don't don't 107 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: think for a moment you're going to earn enough money 108 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: to get in here. And and the way they lowered 109 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: themselves over each other. And also it's a bloodline thing, 110 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: a huge bloodline thing in Mexico. Well he was a 111 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: he's it was really Spanish, I mean, breeding with with 112 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: with the Indians. And this is the these guys were creoles. 113 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: This guy had this too much of this blood in him. 114 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: So because of this amount of blood, he's not allowed 115 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: in this class. It was that kind of class system. 116 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you think it's so absurd. These these whiny 117 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: babies today think racism is a thing today, and it 118 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: is and it always will be. By the way that again, 119 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: prejudice is human nature. If you're in America today, you 120 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: don't even know what racism is. They're doing the seventeen 121 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: hundreds version of a DNA test on you to determine 122 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: what kind of job you're allowed to have in Mexico, 123 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: that ladies and gentlemen is prejudice. So that's the system 124 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: he's growing up in. And I say it's a Spanish colony, 125 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: and it is, but we are not in the fifteen 126 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds anymore, where Spain was ruling the seas and 127 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: conquering the world. We're approaching the eighteen hundreds now, and 128 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: the Spanish Empire is getting weaker and weaker and weaker 129 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: and weaker, and eventually there will be a man, maybe 130 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: you've holded, maybe you've heard of him before, by the 131 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: name of Napoleon, who will pretty much make sure he 132 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: puts the finishing touches on that to Santa Anna. He's 133 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: a smart kid. See his life, it's just paused for 134 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: a moment. And let me say this. His life has 135 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: so many parts to it that I'm going to, in 136 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the interest of time, give one sentence today to certain 137 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: things that I could do entire shows on it's that big. 138 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: You could do a ten part episode on Santa Anna 139 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: and the various things he was involved in. So I 140 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: if any part of this interests you dig, you're gonna 141 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: find a very, very fascinating life, all right. He's a 142 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: smart kid, sharp as attack, wildly charismatic very early on, 143 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: but misbehaved in school, gets himself kicked out of school. 144 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: And parents just know this to this day. If your 145 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: child is misbehaving in school, Yes, he may be a 146 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: dirt ball. There's there's a chance about that. There's also 147 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: a chance he's smarter than everyone else and he's bored. 148 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: Keep that in mind, especially for boys. I'm not going 149 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: to get sidetracked here, but boys are not made to 150 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: sit down and stare at a whiteboard for seven eight 151 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: hours a day. That's why all the girls get great 152 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: behavior reviews, and half the boys are told they're gonna 153 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: end up in prison. They're not supposed to be there anyway. 154 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: He joins the military has to kind of twist his 155 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: parents arm. His mom wanted him to join, his dad 156 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: wanted him to go be a businessman. Joins the military though, 157 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: at the age of sixteen, and pretty much right away 158 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: it's time for war. How's he do? You'll find out 159 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: in a moment on Cinco de Mayo on The Jesse 160 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Kelly Show and Brandon Darby coming up later then Jesse 161 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse Kelly Show 162 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: dot Com. It's hard to quit dipping. It's hard. People 163 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: who say, oh, you should just quit it, Okay, Well 164 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: it's not that easy. It's addictive, and I'll be frank 165 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: with you. But maybe I shouldn't say this, but I'll 166 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: be frank with you. It's enjoyable. When I think back 167 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: on all those years I was dipping tobacco, I enjoyed it. 168 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: That's what makes it so hard to quit. But we 169 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: do have to quit, right. I knew I had to quit. 170 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: It's just not something you can do or really want 171 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: to do forever.

We will talk to her about that 185 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: later on in the show. We have Canada getting ready 186 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: for vaccine travel certification. There's a lot more to that 187 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: than just a headline about Canada. We'll go into all 188 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: that today. Back to Santa Anna. His life is too 189 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: long and too complicated for me to get distracted before 190 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: I get to the stories. He joins the military boom 191 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: Mexican War of Independence kicks off. Santa Anna, as he 192 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: will do pretty much his entire life, licks his finger 193 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: sticks it in the air to see which way the 194 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: winds are blowing. He's looking at the Mexican War of 195 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Independence and he's saying to himself, Oh, the Spanish are 196 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: absolutely going to win this, and you should understand this. 197 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to go into this too deep 198 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: because we're gonna focus on Santa Anna today, Mexico then 199 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: in Mexico. Now, it's a very very very divided place 200 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: with various groups and states, and these people fighting for 201 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: this and these people fighting for that, the Mexican War 202 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: of Independence. Initially, you can really forgive Santa Anna for thinking, oh, 203 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: the Spanish are absolutely gonna gonna mop these guys up. 204 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: I think I'll go ahead and fight for the Spanish. 205 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: Remember it was a Spanish country, it's a Spanish colony, 206 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: so technically he was fighting for his own country. And 207 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: he's a fast riser in the military, very very very brave, 208 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: goes up to Texas and he sees some combat in 209 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: Texas as well. This is this is past the wars 210 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: of Mexican independence. He's fighting a war against Texas. And 211 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: let's pause there because we're going to come back to that. 212 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: Understand that Texas was a French place and then a 213 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: Spanish place, and then eventually a Mexican place, and this 214 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: is going to be a complicated affair in an important 215 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: part of his life. Throughout his life. In fact, Santa 216 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Anna cried when he talked about Texas is how much 217 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: he loved it and to this day. And this is 218 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: difficult for people who don't reside in Texas to understand 219 00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Mexican culture. And Texan culture are intertwined, very much intertwined. 220 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: And I've lived in other parts of the country where 221 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: that's not necessarily the case. There's a real separation there. 222 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: It's not that way here. It really is not. I mean, 223 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: it's glorious. I love it. The food's fantastic. It's just 224 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: different here. When it comes to that, the Texas was hotly, 225 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: hotly disputed. We'll get to all that information in just 226 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: a second. He does get wounded as he's fighting against 227 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: these Texans. He loses his life. He loses his leg 228 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: at one point in his life, and we'll go over 229 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: that a little bit later on. But he's wounded, he's 230 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: get sighted for bravery fighting the Texans. This is a 231 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: guy who is I don't want to say he's an 232 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: outstanding military commander. Although he did call himself the Napoleon 233 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: of the West, which is hilarious giving himself that nickname. 234 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: That's something I would do as a joke. He legitimately 235 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: did it as himself. But he is a charismatic leader. 236 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: His men love him, women love of him. Women loved 237 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: Santa Anna. He did, at the age of thirty one, 238 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: eventually marry a fourteen year old and I understand there 239 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: are some cultural differences there, but man is that is 240 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,239 Speaker 1: still kind of creepy anyway, very much a charismatic individual 241 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: his men. Part of the reason they loved him was 242 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: he didn't grow up in the upper upper class, so 243 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: he actually did not like the elites, the aristocrats, the politicians. 244 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: He was much more at home going to a cock 245 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: fight with his men doing things the more blue collar 246 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: men did grow up, Chris, the cock fights of the 247 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: roosters that fight each other and they put blades on there. 248 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: That's enough, all right. So revolution is brewing again, revolution 249 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: against the Spanish. Santa Anna. This time he doesn't think 250 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: the Spanish are going to pull this one out, so 251 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: he switched his sides, and this time Santa Anna fights 252 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: against the Spanish. And of course Mexico wins their independence. Now, 253 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: once they win independence from Spain, once they get the 254 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Spanish yoke off their back, as often is the case, 255 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: remember you live, you are blessed to live. In the exception, 256 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: as often is the case, they didn't replace Spanish oppressive 257 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: rule with freedom, and you know, a republic in a 258 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: constitution and let's all have an election. They ended up 259 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: getting a Mexican dictator now a Mexican, a Mexican emperor, 260 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: and this guy doesn't last very long. I'm not even 261 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: going to come close to going into all the presidents 262 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: and dictators and emperors they had, because they had one 263 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: every other week. Just no Santa Anna chooses to what 264 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: for one. This guy puts Santa Anna in charge of 265 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: a post and then removes the post from him in 266 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: Santa Anna gets mad right about the time everybody was 267 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: getting mad at this new emperor. So Santa Anna decides 268 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: to revolt about the time everyone else does too, and 269 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: Santa Anna promptly gets his teeth kicked in and a 270 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: couple of battles from this emperor. But he does pull 271 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: off these things that make him a legend in Mexico 272 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: to this day. What kind of things he would take 273 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: over a church and dress his men's up like he 274 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: dress his men's, dress his men up like nuns and 275 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: have them shoot at the guy's troops when they were 276 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: coming in, and the troops wouldn't shoot back because they 277 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: were worried they'd actually kill a nun. Another thing he 278 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: did was remember that whole yellow fever thing. Well, the 279 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: emperor and his guys weren't from the golf coast portion. 280 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: Santa Anna pretty much retreats back to the golf coast. 281 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: The emperor comes tracking him down and all his men 282 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: start to die of yellow fever, and he asked to leave. 283 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: Santa Anna's totally fine with all his troops. I don't 284 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: know why you guys are sick for It's nice down here, 285 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: no big d all right now, It's an odd, complicated conflict, 286 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: will go over another time. But just know, at the 287 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: end of it, after about a year, the emperor leaves. 288 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: All right, I get it, you guys don't want another emperor. 289 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: Mexico becomes a republic. They have elections, are they all? 290 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: The most up and up elections in the world? Not necessarily? 291 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: By the way, is any of this sounding familiar at all? 292 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: Are you any of you right now saying to yourself, Wow, 293 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: this all sounds like Mexico hasn't changed at all. It's 294 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: because it hasn't. This is not that long ago. Realize 295 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: that we're talking about two hundred years ago. That's over 296 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: the lengths of time we deal with in history. That's 297 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: not that long. And sadly, because you know, I genuinely 298 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: love the country, I love the people, love the food, 299 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: love the beaches. Sadly, they just have never gotten their 300 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: act together. It's always been this way, and it will 301 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: be this way for the rest of our story, and 302 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how long it's going to keep being 303 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: this way into the future. We're gonna ask Brandon Darby, 304 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: our Mexico expert, on that in about an hour from now, 305 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: you have a new president he leaves, and a new 306 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: president and leaves. There are there is a constant state 307 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: of rebellion right now in Mexico. I just fast forwarded 308 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: over about ten eleven years, and there are more factions 309 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: and rebellions, and these people are rising up, and these 310 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: people think they're overtaxed, and these people don't like the emperor. 311 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: It's just a constant state of chaos. And that's what 312 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: I want you to understand about Santa Ana more than 313 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: anything else. As we go through his life. His life 314 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: is wild and chaotic, and he's on this side one 315 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: day and that side another day, and that can make 316 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: him look bad until you realize that was the world 317 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: in which he lived, a chaotic place where your friends 318 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: one day and enemies the next, and back to being 319 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: friends and killing each other the next. In this government 320 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: and that government. It's crazy crazy nineteen thirty two or 321 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: eighteen thirty two, I'm sorry, leads another rebellion. Santa Anna 322 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: actually leads this one. I know you're gonna find that shocking. 323 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: This time, he actually becomes president, only he didn't want 324 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: to be president. That's gonna be a problem. We'll go 325 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: over why that's gonna be a problem before we get 326 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: to everything else, including a Derek chauvingjuror problem. Hang on, 327 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to bring this across to 328 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: you in a way that doesn't make me sound obsessive. 329 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: But I'll be honest. I am obsessive about my gear. 330 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: I am when I go to one of the big 331 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: box hunting and fishing stores and I look around at 332 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: the gear in there. I don't walk in and grab 333 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: this pack, or grab this holster or grab that. I 334 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: just don't do it. I want quality, custom made gear. 335 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: I will tell you I have transitioned everything out of 336 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: my gear that Northwest Retention Systems makes.

Chris, 343 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: what is this music? Don't you know what day it is? 344 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: Let's go man, Yes, sir on a Sinco to Mayo 345 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: today talking about Santa Anna. All right, he becomes president. 346 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: Didn't want to be president, so and what an altar? 347 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: It's an all time boss move. Santa Anna gets elected 348 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: president and just decides, you know, I'm not really into it. 349 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm going back home. And he just had this hacienda 350 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: he loved, you know, hang out with the fama, give 351 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: the ladies some smooches. He lets the vice president take 352 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: over and really run the country. And the vice president 353 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: does to say he doesn't do well, it would be 354 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: putting it mildly. Throughout this story, Mexico was running into serious, 355 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: serious financial problems. Was really they just could never get 356 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: their economy off the ground. And their vice president decided 357 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: he was going to pillage the church, the Catholic Church, 358 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: in order to get said money. And you can imagine 359 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: how well that went over. That went over not so well, 360 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: and eventually the vice president has to step down. When 361 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: he does, Santa Ana was like, all right, I guess 362 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: I'll come step in and actually do my job. Which 363 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: brings us to the point in our story where we're 364 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: going to talk about probably the most important part of 365 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: the story, at least in your mind, in my mind, Texas. 366 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: What was Texas like? Well, I'll be honest with you, 367 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: I moved to Texas on purpose. I'm not a native Texan, 368 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: as you well know, born and Ohio, grew up in Montana. 369 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: I've lived everywhere, Arizona, DC, I've lived everywhere. I moved 370 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: to Texas specifically because I loved Texas so much. Remember 371 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: I moved here without a job, just because I wanted 372 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: to live in Texas. That's how much I love it. However, 373 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: let's be honest about one thing. The weather in Texas 374 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: is indefensibly bad, in defensively bad. It is terrible. Absolutely, 375 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: there's not one redeeming quality about Texas weather. There's just 376 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: simply not. It's not good. Now, why does that matter. 377 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: That's not me complaining about the weather. What it is 378 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: is understand what that means for a settler back in 379 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds eighteen hundreds. When the weather is this bad, 380 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to get people to come here. And there 381 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: was something else about Texas during this time. Mexico owned 382 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: Texas during this time. Indian wise, there's something about this 383 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: state that simply attracted the absolute most violent ones there were. 384 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: There was a right down close to me, close to Houston. 385 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: There's a coastal city called Galveston. You've probably heard of Galveston. 386 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: In the Galveston area, they had a gigantic tribe of 387 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Indians that would eat you. Yes, they were cannibal Indians. 388 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Oh and if you managed to somehow get north of 389 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: them without getting eaten, you're probably going to run into 390 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: the most powerful Indian tribe in the history of America, 391 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: the Commanche. The Commandche were so powerful they ran the 392 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: Apache out west. The Commanche took on the US Army 393 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: multiple times and did well for themselves. And if they 394 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: get ahold of you, brother, you better hope they don't 395 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: get ahold of you alive. I'll put it to you 396 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: that way, you're going to find yourself tied to a 397 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: wagon wheel, burning alive. If lucky, the Texas was just 398 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: a hostile place. The weather sucked and the Indians were worse. Therefore, 399 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: it was hard for Mexico to get Mexicans to settle there. 400 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: Who wants to settle there? No, I think I'll go 401 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: to Cancoon. Thanks. So what did they do? They Actually, 402 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: they're really innovative about it. Is very smart. They started 403 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: inviting Americans to come settle in Texas. They wanted it's 404 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: a fairly friendly relationship. Hey, come on down to Texas. 405 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: We want you to occupy Texas. We want you really 406 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: to become Mexican kind of when you do it, when 407 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: we want you to pay taxes when you get here. 408 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: But they offered land filthy cheap. They had this huge 409 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: recruiting service that would go up and offer people land 410 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: dirt cheap, and they ended up coming by the thousands. Oh, 411 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to go to Texas. It's hot. What 412 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: I can have one hundred acres for that? Yeah, I'll 413 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: see in Texas. I'm on the way. And so Texas 414 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: began to fill up, but not with Mexicans. It began 415 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: to fill up with Americans or Texicans or whatever way 416 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: you want to put it. Not the end of the world, 417 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: but hindsights twenty twenty from a thirty thousand foot view, 418 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: you really don't want to fill up your country with 419 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: people from another country, or they're going to eventually just 420 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: decide it's their country. Now, fast forward just a little bit. 421 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: We're trying to buy Texas from Santa Ana, and the 422 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: people in Texas are starting to rebel. They're not paying 423 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: taxes anymore the way they should. They're not obeying all 424 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: the tariff stuff Mexico had put on them. Why well, one, 425 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: they felt like they wanted to be their own place. 426 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: They very much felt like they wanted to be their 427 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: own place, too. They weren't really getting the protection of 428 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: the Mexican government who didn't have the strengths to go 429 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: up there and protect them. They're still fighting commanches and 430 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,239 Speaker 1: stuff like that on their own. Okay, So why am 431 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: I paying you taxes? If me and all my boys 432 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: have to get together and go rescue the women to 433 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: command she just kidnapped, what are you here for? You 434 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: see pay attention throughout history. As we've talked about in 435 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: past shows, when governments stop providing protection, that government is 436 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: generally not long for hanging around. When people don't feel 437 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: their government gives them that Santa Anna is not going 438 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: to let Texas break away. Texas tries to declare independence, 439 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: Santa Anna says, absolutely not, it's on now, and he 440 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: leads a military expedition into Texas. Now, this is a 441 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: part of the story that a lot of people are 442 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: kind of familiar with. But before we get to the Alamo, 443 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: let's just say this. He does not have a lot 444 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: of money because Mexico just is always struggling finance. Actually, 445 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: at this point in time, they always are. So he 446 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: has to recruit the worst of the worst. He's recruiting 447 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: ex convicts, derelicts. He's recruiting a bunch of Indians. You know, 448 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: in Mexico had a bunch of Indians too that don't 449 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: speak Spanish, so he can't really relay orders. Santa Ana 450 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: came to Texas with four or five thousand men. It 451 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: wasn't four or five thousand shock troops, I'll put it 452 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: to you that way. It was a rag tag group 453 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: of criminals. They take on the Texans at the Alamo, 454 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: round two hundred of them. They win at the Alamo 455 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: and they execute the prisoners they took. Colonel Travis was 456 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: a man. He was shot during the battle Bowie. He 457 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 1: was stabbed with a bayonet in his bed. He was injured, 458 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: so they bayonetted him. Davy Crockett, the legendary American politician. 459 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: Everyone's heard of Davy Crockett. He was part of the 460 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: group of Texans that surrendered and he was executed. Santa 461 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: Ann aligned them all up and executed all the prisoners, 462 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: which that did not go over well in America. He 463 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: also went on and won a battle at a Goliad 464 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: and then took over three hundred Texan prisoners of war 465 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: who had surrendered under the promise of mercy, and he 466 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: executed them all and piled up their bodies into a 467 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: body hill and set it on fire. Now, this is 468 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: the part that drove the Texans and Americans crazy. It 469 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: drove them nuts. To this day, people call him a 470 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 1: butcher for this. I understand what you're saying. I do. However, 471 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: we have to have an honest conversation about something, and 472 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: this is gonna hurt. We will have that honest conversation 473 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: in a second, and then we'll get on to the 474 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: four trillion dollars infrastructure plan. And some ladies superglueder and 475 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: of the road.

Get your questions 504 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: in Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Santa Anna 505 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: kills everyone at the Alamo Goliad, kills all the prisoners, 506 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: piles them up, burns their bodies. This enrages the Americans, 507 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: as it should, Okay, as it should the Texans. However, 508 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: in Santa Anna's defense, up to this point in his life, 509 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: he had fought and put down a thousand rebellions within Mexico. 510 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: And this is how they put down rebellions in Mexico. 511 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: That's how they did it. And remember Texas at this point, 512 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: Texas was part of Mexico. In Santa Anna's mind, these 513 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 1: were rebels and he's not necessarily wrong. I'm not taking 514 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: Santa Anna's side. Believe me, I don't need you Texans 515 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: lining up with your Winchester rifles outside of the studio. 516 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm simply saying, if you're looking at this from a 517 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: historical point of view, as you know we do on 518 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: the show, you can see it both ways. However, it 519 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: turned out to not be the best strategy in the 520 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: world because it enrages the Texans to the point Santa 521 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: Anna gets his doors blown off at the Battle of 522 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: San Jacinto, which we've done a show I'm before, We're 523 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: not going into that today. Santa Anna gets captured. He 524 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: essentially gets forced to sign a treaty giving Texas to 525 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: the Texans. But Mexico's all, wait a minute, no, that's 526 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: he's a captive. We do not acknowledge this treaty, and 527 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be a problem here in just 528 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: a second. Santa Anna is only in captivity for like 529 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: a year. And when I said earlier the dude was charming, 530 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: I didn't mean just charming the pretty girl in the 531 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: street corner. This dude eventually had his captors completely in 532 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: love with the guy, just thinking this guy walked on water. 533 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: When he was let go from his prison. Here he 534 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: gave some long speech and had like the prison guards 535 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: and tiers talking about how much he loved Texas and 536 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: he's sorry about the misunderstanding and whatnot, travels a little 537 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: bit in America, and then finally is allowed to return 538 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: to Mexico. Now understand this. Yeah, he lost that battle, 539 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: he lost that war, but in Mexico, to many people 540 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,760 Speaker 1: in Mexico, he's the only hero that they've ever really 541 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: ever known. He still has a very good name in Mexico. 542 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't have any power right now, but he has 543 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: a very good name. Eventually, the French attack, I'm not 544 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna go into this. I'll do this story another time, 545 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: called the Pastry War. Santa Anna steps up tells the government, Hey, 546 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't want any power, don't want to be president. 547 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm not asking that. All I'm asking though, let me 548 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 1: go fight to French on behalf of the Mexican people. 549 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: Let me go fight. He goes and fights to French 550 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: during this battle where they get their teeth kicked in. 551 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: The Mexicans just gets laughtered in this battle. He loses 552 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: his leg. He loses his leg. He has the leg 553 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: buried with full military honors. All right. After this, after 554 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: this battle. I know you're gonna find the shocking. The 555 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: government's once again drowning. Once again, Santa Anna takes over, 556 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: puts down a rebellion against other generals, and starts to 557 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: do some things that don't necessarily make sense, some really 558 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: provocative things. He leads another raid into Texas for like 559 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: no reason. There's not a really good reason for it. 560 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: The country's hurting for money. And this happens when a 561 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: nation gets too deep in debt. They look around and 562 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: start raising taxes. Where the problem is a nation that's 563 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: deep in debt, oftentimes as a nation of already unhappy people, 564 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: and then you point to those people and say I'm 565 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: going to need more of your money. That doesn't get 566 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: received very well. Sometimes the people are enraged, Santa Anna. 567 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: They're so enraged. Santa Anna resigns, and the people are 568 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: so mad they dig up the leg he had buried 569 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,959 Speaker 1: and drag it through the city there. That's how mad 570 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: they are at him. He gets himself exiled to Cuba. 571 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: But the guy he I mean, you might as well 572 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: call him the comeback kid. The Mexican American War blows up, 573 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: and we're not going into that war today either. But 574 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: this was the war. Once it ended, we would have Texas. 575 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: The Mexican American War blows up. Santa Anna starts calling 576 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: the government. Not on the phone, obviously. He starts calling 577 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 1: the government and says, hey again, I don't want any power. 578 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: Let me I want in Let me go fight these Americans. 579 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm game. They agree to let him back. He comes 580 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: back and leads Mexicans into combat. He does fight America 581 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: tooth and nail. I'll give him credit for this. He 582 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: gives America plenty of hard fought battles in the Mexican 583 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: American War. And he had greatly inferior trupe quality and 584 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: weapon quality. And we will wrap up the story of 585 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: Santa Anna. The comeback kid is not done yet. Hang on, 586 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: Scrunchis I love them? I do.

Give us some more Mexican 633 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: music playing in the background. And you don't have a 634 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: smile on your face. That doesn't put you in a 635 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: good mood. That's really a you problem. I'm not look, 636 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm not judging you. People go through different things in life. 637 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: If this music comes on and you're sipping a margharita 638 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: eating some nachos and you're not happy, brother, you need 639 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: to get happy. That's as good as life gets right there. 640 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's finish our story on Santa Annex. We 641 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: have real news to get to and I'm not gonna 642 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: lose focus today, Chris, we do. Somebody wants to know 643 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: about my thoughts on legalizing drugs. A bunch of potheads 644 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: in this crowd. I'll tell you the second you know, 645 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: I'll give it to you straight. I'm sure it'll be 646 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: wildly offensive. I don't care, all right, Santa Anna. Remember 647 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: he's fighting against the Americans and the Mexican American War. 648 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: He is. He's fighting so hard and frankly doing so well, 649 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: even though he's losing. But he should be losing with 650 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: the quality of troops and equipment he has. He's fighting 651 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: so hard and doing so well. They actually blame him 652 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: for prolonging the war way longer than it would have been. 653 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: President Polk, our president said it was going to be 654 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,479 Speaker 1: a short war. In Santa Anna's the reason it wasn't. 655 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people said he really did do very 656 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: well for himself. He did lose not one, but two 657 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: prosthetic legs during the war. One of those legs, captured 658 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,760 Speaker 1: by American troops, still sits in a museum in America today, 659 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: although I don't think we publicly display it anymore, which 660 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: is so lame. Another one was a peg leg. The 661 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:11,399 Speaker 1: American troops played baseball with it. I'm not making that up. Well, 662 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: Mexico loses the Mexican American War, they lose Texas and 663 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: all the other stuff that went with it. And Santa Anna, 664 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: once again, I know you're gonna find this shocking, gets exiled. 665 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: He gets exiled to Jamaica, and then he ends up 666 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 1: going to Columbia. And at this point I wonder, like 667 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: I wonder if Santa Anna has an exile routine, Like 668 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: he gets to a new town and well, we have 669 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: to find out who has you know, who sells the 670 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: best doughnuts here? That's that's tour around. We're in exile again. 671 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,959 Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be back soon. He does 672 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: get called back again and they want him to be president, 673 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: and of course he takes over as president again and 674 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: promptly blows it again. I mean, the guy's a bad politician, 675 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: but I don't know that there's anybody who could have 676 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: been a good politician in Mexico, especially at this time. 677 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: It was just so fractured and poor and corrupt. He 678 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: once again blows it. He is once again exiled. I 679 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: know you're going to find that shocking. He then moves on. 680 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: So this really weird post presidency, post generalship life. He's 681 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:37,919 Speaker 1: trying to sell materials to tire manufacturers in America. He's 682 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: widely credited, although I don't know if I believe this, 683 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 1: with introducing chewing gum to the United States of America. 684 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: I know the guy's a nutball. Like I said, by 685 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 1: the end of the story, you'd find yourself saying, this 686 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,240 Speaker 1: freaking guy. And then by the eighteen sixties, he's trying 687 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 1: to raise money in America so he can raise an 688 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: army and stole back into Mexico. He can't do it, 689 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: he can't pull it off. Eventually, way later on in 690 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: his life, he's finally allowed to return to Mexico. He's 691 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: pretty much blind by this point. I believe it was cataracts, 692 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: if memory serves me, had cataracts that were real bad 693 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: dies at the age of eighty two in eighteen seventy six. 694 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: And now you know the story, and I mean, you 695 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: know five percent of the story of the legend of 696 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: Santa Anna. And you know why people talk about him 697 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: to this day. You see, we Americans understandably look at 698 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: his story from an American point of view, which is 699 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: you're not going to get the best Santa Anna if 700 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: you're looking at it from the American point of view, 701 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: The butcher of Thegoliad and things like that. But the 702 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: dude lived a long, complicated, wild, chaotic life. And I 703 00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: will say what I took away from this more than 704 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,399 Speaker 1: anything else, was actually not political. What I took away 705 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: from Santa Anna's life was, man, I'm sure he had 706 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: plenty of regrets, because if you're a grown man, you 707 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 1: have regrets. Part of this life is triumph, part of 708 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: this life is tragedy, part of this life is sadness, 709 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: and part of this life, especially for a dude, is regret. 710 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: You look at things you've screwed up, all your fault, 711 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: and you regret them. Lord knows, I've got a thousand 712 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: of those in my life. So I'm sure he had regrets. 713 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: But you know what I thought of what I was 714 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: reading through this story and watching things on it and 715 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: listening to things on it. I bet he was proud 716 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: of his life when he was about to breathe his last. 717 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 1: That is how you live your life, just an endless 718 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: resume of stories. There wasn't a rebellion, political campaign, crazy 719 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: thing that happened that Santa Anna wasn't knee deep in 720 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: evolved in. You can't tell the story of Mexico from 721 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: when they got their independence on without featuring Santa Anna. 722 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 1: He's not even there's not even a close second place 723 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 1: to Santa Anna. If you're telling the story about the 724 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: early years of Mexico, Mexico is Santa Anna. So I 725 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: thought it was a very very very cool life. Clearly 726 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,760 Speaker 1: would or rather, he showed a little bit of mercy 727 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 1: at the Old Alamo and the Goalie ad. But he 728 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: paid for that in the end, didn't he. And let's 729 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: be honest, we still have his leg Chris all Right, 730 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: headline first one today is just that. This is from 731 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: justinnews dot com. Biden in the Dems seek to redefine 732 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: infrastructure to justify four trillion and more spending. I'm not 733 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: going to go over all the details on the infrastructure bill. 734 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. I want you to understand what's happening 735 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: right now with the Democratic Party. What I think is 736 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,799 Speaker 1: happening right now at the Democratic Party and why they're 737 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: so focused on cramming all this absurd stuff into the 738 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill. The Democratic Party is extremely radical, extremely aggressive now, 739 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: more radical and aggressive than they've ever been. You're seeing 740 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: that firsthand. You see it everywhere. And their base now, 741 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 1: the Democratic base is more ravenous than they've ever been. 742 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: So you see them as a national party. What are 743 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: they doing while they're doing everything right. You're trying for 744 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: gun control, and they're trying for that HR one where 745 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: no one has to show an ID to vote, and 746 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: they're trying for this and trying they're trying to do 747 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: it all all at once, their entire agenda, and then 748 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: they're trying for infrastructure. But here's the thing, if you 749 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: really dig into the reality of all these things, they're 750 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: trying to do. Virtually none of it is possible. It's 751 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 1: not going to pass. If you're the Democrats, don't You're 752 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: not going to pass HR one. You're not going to 753 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: pass a gun control bill. You're not going to pass 754 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,800 Speaker 1: these things that they're they're major things they want to 755 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: do aren't going to pass. That's one thing you're facing 756 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: as a Democratic Party. The second thing you're facing is 757 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 1: this The President of the United States of America is 758 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: not doing well. To put it mildly, he's likely, in 759 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: my opinion, likely not going to be there for the 760 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 1: midterm elections. Well, if Joe Biden isn't there for the 761 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: midterm elections, that means Kamala Harris is the head of 762 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party heading into the critical midterm elections. Democrats 763 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: may be insane, but they're not stupid. They know that's 764 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 1: not good for the party. Kamala Harris out there laughing 765 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: like a hyena at the weirdest times, with zero charisma, 766 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: ambition absolutely dripping off of her does not come off well. 767 00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: But they're facing something else too. And I'm an ex 768 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: plain wine a second, and it's good news. Hang on, 769 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: you know your house smells don't get mad. Don't get mad. 770 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,399 Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not indicting you. I'm sure 771 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: you keep a clean home, but just time means you're 772 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,759 Speaker 1: going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking smells that 773 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their animals smells. 774 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 1: Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was just living 775 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 1: creates smells. I didn't realize that my home had a 776 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: smell to it until I got my first Eden Pure Thunderstorm, 777 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,479 Speaker 1: the greatest air purifier I've ever owned in my life. 778 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: This thing.

I now owned three of them. I'm not 781 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: making that up.
