4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: They're shocking. These time share companies, not all of them,

Speaker 1: of dollars. One girl she got past her time share

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: when her mother passed away. She gets passed the timeshar,

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want the time shar, doesn't use the time share.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: They tell her she can get out of it for

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars. She has to come up with a

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars check. This is not right, it's unjust

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Chris is a bad person. It's a bad person. We

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: will get to that in the show said something I

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: absolutely did not laugh about. We'll discuss that. I was

23
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: thinking today as I was sitting down in my chair here.

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: You know, look, it takes a lot of prep time

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: to do this show. I sat down in my chair

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: like fifteen seconds before Chris turned on the microphone, and

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: it gave me some time to think, and it occurred

28
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: to me that I don't think we've ever done a

29
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: show on any kind of a major construction project. Now,

30
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: when I say construction project, understand, I'm talking about building

31
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: wonders out there, and there are some amazing things people

32
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: have built, and I'm talking pyramids, you know that could

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: wild stuff. The chapel, what's that chapel, Chris, Sistine Chapel,

34
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Great Wall of China, There's been parts of it in

35
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: every show. Trans Continental Railroad, that's a good but I

36
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: don't think we've ever done one on the railroads. Chris.

37
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: It occurred to me that's kind of weird. I actually come,

38
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: as everybody knows, I come from a construction family. It's

39
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: what we do, and we have done shows on every

40
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: freaking thing, on spies, kings, good guys, bad guys, whole countries,

41
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: individual battles, entire wars, certain aspects of wars, rebellions, torture,

42
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: We've done so much, the Black Plague, We've done just everything,

43
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: and we've never done something on construction. And it's weird

44
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: because so much of our world is a result of

45
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: outstanding construction projects and advancements and engineering wonders, and I've

46
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: never done one on it. And I wonder if I

47
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: don't have some kind of mental block or something. But

48
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I figured, if we're going to do a show on construction,

49
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: we why we might as well choose for our first

50
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: construction show ever, the big construction project in the history

51
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of the world. Anyone want to venture, I guess what

52
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: it is. Give you five seconds before I ruin. It's

53
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: for you. Panama Canal, The Panama Canal. Now, don't change

54
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: the channel, give me a moment. Construction projects in general

55
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: aren't sexy. I get it. I totally get it. I'm

56
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: a dude, I get it. I want to see bombs

57
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: and explosions and knives and spies and kings and hot

58
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: chicks and planes and boats and same stuff you like

59
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: when you're trying to explain somebody, well, this is how

60
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: much concrete they used, And can get real boring real fast.

61
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: You know, we're not going to do that. However, it

62
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: is one important that you and I understand the way

63
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: our world works and why it works that way. And

64
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: two when you dig into some of these projects and

65
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: what's involved in them and the treachery and the death

66
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: and the profit and it is, it's your history, it's

67
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: my history. We should look into it. So let us

68
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: begin on the greatest construction project ever. And you could

69
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: do two or three hours probably on the Panama Cannown.

70
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: It's not one of those things I'm gonna sit here

71
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: and tell you, Ah, you should definitely. You know, I'll

72
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: be honest with you when I tell you you should

73
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: really go get a book or two on it. It's

74
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: way more than I can do in the show. You know,

75
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: I always just give you the thirty thousand foot view stuff.

76
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: You should do a book on it. I don't know

77
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: the af to do a book on the Panama can now,

78
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: but you should definitely do some reading on it. Very

79
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: very fascinating. First of all, let us begin a kind

80
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: of a weird part of the story. The Panama Canal.

81
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: One was not supposed to be in Panama. It was

82
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be in Nicaragua in two. Panama didn't exist

83
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: when we wanted to build the Panama Canal, did not

84
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: exist as his own country, and you have us to

85
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: thank for both of those things. Here, what's the situation

86
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: on the ground. Let's start with Nicaragua first of all,

87
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: as you well know, America, Central America, South America were

88
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: places that were colonized by Europeans. Remember this is not

89
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: the show where I act like colonization and some evil

90
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: thing by the white Man. We don't do that. But

91
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: they were colonized by the English, by the Spanish, by

92
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the Portuguese, by the French. Everyone knows. And the Spanish

93
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: obviously had huge amounts of influence in Western United States

94
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and then Mexico, Central America, South America, with obvious exceptions

95
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: like Brazil where Portugal got in and stayed. Spain really really,

96
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: really ran things from Mexico down for a very very

97
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: very long time, while the Mexicans they have a big

98
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: revolution eighteen twenty one finally kicking the Spanish out should

99
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: be noted quickside. Note, as you probably figured out, that's

100
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: why all of Latin America speaks Spanish, except for obviously Brazil,

101
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: who speaks Portuguese, and I think a couple of others,

102
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: maybe Peru. I believe there are a couple other Portuguese

103
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: based countries down there, but who cares about Portugal anyway.

104
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: Spain gets real, real, real week, thank you Napoleon and others.

105
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Spain gets real week. They really can't keep a foothold

106
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: in Mexico. These Mexican people are rising up, looking around

107
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: doing what people do similar to what we did, saying

108
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna go ahead and govern ourselves, do

109
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: our own thing here. Eighteen twenty one, I believe the

110
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: year was I didn't look this up. Eighteen twenty one

111
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Mexicans had the revolution, Spain gone get out of there.

112
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: That was a rough go for Mexico trying to get

113
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: themselves organized, and in many ways you can see that

114
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: extend to today, because look, eighteen twenty one is not

115
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: that long ago in the lens of history. The Mexicans

116
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: are still getting it figured out. We're not going to

117
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: go into that. And why I'm very frustrated with that

118
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: to this day because as you know, of Mexico, great place.

119
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I want to own a place down there one day.

120
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Great people, great families, great food, great beer, great beaches, good,

121
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, cool mountains, just an awesome, awesome country, good

122
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: natural resources, beautiful country, and just a government that's total

123
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: crap sucks. Be that as it may. Mexico is trying

124
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: to get things figured out. Well, do the math post

125
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: Spanish rule, you know, post European power rule. If a

126
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: country the size of Mexico, with that many people and

127
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: that many resources is struggling to figure things out, what

128
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: do you think that tiny hodgepodge of countries in Central

129
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: America are doing. It's tough, It's very, very, very tough.

130
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: They are still in this long train transition period from

131
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: kind of Indian tribal peoples to civilized society to and

132
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: now you don't even have guidance anymore. I'm I'm doing

133
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: a long story short here. Central America's having it rough,

134
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: very poor, trying to get organized, and a man named

135
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Zalaya takes power eventually in Nicaragua. Zalaya's legacy is absolutely

136
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: all over the map. When I say all over the

137
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: maps that, well, you have to make your own judgments.

138
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: You need a gold ira, you just have to have

139
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: it these days. And the reason the reason I get

140
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: uncomfortable talking about this sometimes is One, it's money. I

141
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: don't love talking about money all the time. Two, you

142
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: sound like a doomsday prophet anymore. I'm not trying to

143
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: sound doomsday. No. I don't think you're going to wake

144
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: up starving to death in some third world nation tomorrow morning.

145
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. But financial problems are coming.

146
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: They are coming here, and they're coming sooner than you think.

147
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: You need a gold Ira to make sure all that

148
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: money you have in stocks and bonds doesn't disappear if

149
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: the market craters. We know this, just go to Gold Alliance.

150
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: They'll walk you through it. Gold Alliance dot com slash

151
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Jesse Again, that's Gold Alliance dot com slash Jesse Jesse.

152
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: Kelly returns next. It's not going to belabor the Nicaragua

153
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: part because it didn't end up in Nicaragua. But the

154
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: man named Zelaya takes over. Some consider him a tyrant,

155
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: many consider him a hero. He builds roads, he builds schools,

156
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: He allows voting, secret voting, which is a big deal. Again,

157
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: this Mexico Central America is so corrupt at this point

158
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: in time, so just very having a rough COVID so

159
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: you know by now, situations like that oftentimes require a

160
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: patriotic tyrant of some kind for a time, they get one,

161
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: and as are to this whole thing. We are working

162
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: with Zalea to put the Panama Canal through Nicaragua. It

163
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: will probably help you to do the Google Maps thing

164
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: and just look at Panama and Nicaragua. Let me clarify

165
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: something when it comes to the Panama Canal. This was

166
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: not the idea of Teddy Roosevelt. People above the age

167
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: of five can look at a map of the world

168
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: and look at that we little strip right there and think, wow,

169
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: somebody should figure out a way to connect the Atlantic

170
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: and Pacific Ocean there. That would be very, very handy.

171
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: And very handy is a real mild way to say.

172
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: That'll keep us from getting our ships routinely sunk as

173
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,479
Speaker 1: they cross around the southern tip of South America, which

174
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: is supposed to be hazardous. To put it mildly, not

175
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: only does it take a long time, it's dangerous. We're

176
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: talking the fifteen hundreds saw people looking at this land saying, man,

177
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: we should really connect those two things. I wish there

178
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: was a way to connect those two things. It's so narrow.

179
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: The oceans are right there. It's just very close. So

180
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Nicaragua is the original plan for us in the Panama Canal.

181
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Now it doesn't work out that way because there are

182
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: some people business interests around the world don't want it

183
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: in Nicaragua. They want it going through Panama. And in

184
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: one of the worst cases of journalist malpractice in I mean, gosh,

185
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: probably the world, here's what happens. They pass a bill

186
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: through Congress saying we're going to build the Panama Canal

187
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: in Nicaragua. I should say it passes through the House.

188
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: And when I say passes, I don't mean it was close.

189
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: I think there were something like two votes against it.

190
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Everyone just understood this was a done deal. Well, journalists

191
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: and business interests joined together and they decide they don't

192
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: want this thing in Nicaragua. Well, Nicaragua has a funny

193
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: thing at this point, and this is gonna sound like

194
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: a small thing. It's gonna turn out to be a

195
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: very big thing. Nicaragua doesn't print its own postage stamps.

196
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: It's so small. It outsources that to America. So they'll

197
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: also out so you'll find an artist say what are

198
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: we putting on this next postage stamp? They print a

199
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: Nicaraguan postage stamp that has a mountain on it, and

200
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: the artist thinks it'll be really cool if we put

201
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: like some smoke coming out the top of a mountain,

202
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: almost looking like a volcano. We take this stamp and

203
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: use it as an idea. The people who want this

204
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: stopped in Nicaragua, they start spreading through Congress that Nicaragua

205
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: is some earthquake active, volcano ridden hellhole. They make this

206
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: place sound like Mortor from Lord of the Rings, which

207
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: is completely not true, and any volcanoes they have there

208
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: have been inactive for like ever. It's just completely not true.

209
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: And it starts tearing tearing through Congress. And not only that,

210
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: they're sending out, you know, letters to the congressman informing

211
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: them of this, and they're including the Nicaraguan postage stamp

212
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: with the volcano on it. Journalists of course pick this

213
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: up and how can you believe they're about to build

214
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: They're about to build a railway through hell on Earth,

215
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: and poor Nicaragua's like, whoa wait, what, We're fine, what

216
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: are you talking about? What are you talking about? They

217
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: ended up not they ended up not getting it. So

218
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: we want to build ours through Panama. Well, there's not

219
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: really a Panama Panama at this time when we want

220
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: to build our canal through it. Panama is part of Columbia.

221
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: You're looking at that map, you're seeing how all this

222
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: links up here. Panama is just part of Columbia. We

223
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: ask Columbia, hey, can we built a canal through here?

224
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: Columbia says no. We make generous offers to Columbia. Obviously,

225
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: we're not just trying to stomp through there. We'll do this, this,

226
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: and this for you. Let us build a canal through here.

227
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Colombia says no. Why all, we're America and your Columbia,

228
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: and we really really have this feeling in this country

229
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: have and you know, had of a certain destiny all

230
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: empires do. We're not immune from that. Just because we've

231
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: done it a little softer than many others. We're not

232
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: immune from that. Nor do you have to apologize for it.

233
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: That's the history of the world. So we decide, well, look,

234
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're not gonna if you're not going

235
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: to accept payment for Panama, we do have other means.

236
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know it, a rebellion pops up in Panama.

237
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: A rebellion they park it in Panama and tell the

238
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: government of Colombia, we are our own government. And not

239
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: only does the rebellion pop up virtually out of nowhere,

240
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: as luck would have it, Man, these guys have tons

241
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: of funds. These guys have guns. We're not talking about

242
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: rebels in rags and muskets here. These guys have modern weaponry.

243
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: And guess who decides to jump in out of nowhere,

244
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: completely inexplicably and say, you know what, we're recognizing this

245
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: new country, in this new government. Go Panama. You've got

246
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: a friend in US. It's the ultimate screw jop. We

247
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: screwed Colombia so bad. Not only that we set troops.

248
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking United States Marines. Hey, Colombia, don't step out

249
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: of bounds here. This is an official nation. Thought you

250
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: terrors step in? Good for us? Okay, Panama's its own

251
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: thing now. I also, I do have to mention before

252
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: we get to where we're going, the French in the

253
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: Panama Canal. The French had this idea too. As I said,

254
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: this idea didn't originate with us, and didn't even originate

255
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: with France. This is an old, old idea to build

256
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: this landing. Anybody with the map can look and think

257
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: we should join these two. And France has this dude

258
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: who just who I mean he did the Suez Canal.

259
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: The Suez Canal, if you're unfamiliar with it, is in Egypt,

260
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: very very important waterway. I believe it connects the Mediterranean

261
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: and Red Sea. I think Chris looked that up to

262
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: make sure I didn't screw that up. For a million people.

263
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: I have to be careful of giving out bad information.

264
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: I just make up on the fly. Is a Mediterranean

265
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: Red Sea all nice it is, which is critically important

266
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: shipping line. And once that hemisphere builds a canal and

267
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 1: one guy pulls off a canal, you start looking around

268
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: and think who else really needs a canal? And we

269
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: really needed a canal in the Western Hemisphere. However, couple problems. One,

270
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: the Suez Canal is in flat desert. I mean it

271
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: looks like a pool table over there, Hannaman doesn't look

272
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: like that. Now. The Suez Canal is not exactly balmy.

273
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: It is in Egypt. However, desert heat and jungle heat

274
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: are two critically different things. Allow me to explain briefly

275
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: as somebody who has spent extensive time in both, I

276
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: am not discounting desert heat. I have personally fried eggs

277
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: on rocks before in the desert. But there's a difference.

278
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Hang on. Credit score is everything. It is absolutely everything.

279
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: And this is what's wild about it. I see people

280
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: they'll teach their kids. Teachers will teach their students about

281
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: spending money, making money, you know, so make sure you

282
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: spend less than you make. And think they'll teach so

283
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: many basic things, savings, accounts, save for a rainy day,

284
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: all the basic things. But people do not talk enough

285
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: about the one major difference in huge money savings down

286
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: the road and major difference in getting that car you

287
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: want home you want. It ain't the saving or spending,

288
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: it's the credit score. If yours is low, that's fine.

289
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Scoremaster can take care of you on average sixty one

290
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: point increase in twenty days or less. Go to scoremaster

291
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: dot com, slash jesse. That's scoremaster dot com slash jesse.

292
00:22:45,640 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Get that credit score up. Now you're the French. You're

293
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: feeling pretty proud of yourself. Suez Canal good for us,

294
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: and the French entrepreneur who builds says Suez Canals, thinking

295
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: to himself, I don't think i'd mind going ahead and

296
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: notching another one of these on my belt before I die.

297
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's head to Panama in the eighteen eighties. But the

298
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: jungle ain't the desert. Desert heat is miserable. I'll never

299
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: live in the desert again. It's dry, your skin cracks, miserable.

300
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: It's not the jungle. And the jungle you get hot

301
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: and things rot. I did not mean for that to rhyme,

302
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: but when you're as good as I am, it just

303
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: comes naturally. Shut up, Chris, things rot off of your body.

304
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: Your skin will just be like breaking away your feet,

305
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: rashes everywhere. And the big one disease. Yes, animals are

306
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: also a problem in the jungle. Poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders,

307
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: big problem. But disease in the jungle thrives. Disease does

308
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: not thrive in the desert. Don't send me your email.

309
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: It's about you missed their outbreak. And this desert jungle

310
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: is where disease lives, because jungles where everything lives. If

311
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of things live in a single place, disease

312
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: is going to thrive there too. Panama, that little strip

313
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: of land that looks so good on Google Maps. As

314
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: you're thinking about that Canal looks a lot different. On

315
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: the ground. It's all the living hell construction environments rolled

316
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: up into one. It is jungle, and I mean equator jungle,

317
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty degrees in the summertime, jungle with humidity.

318
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: I have seen grown fit men, and I mean infantry

319
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: trained United States Marines. I have seen them walk a

320
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: couple miles in that kind of heat in humidity and

321
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: just simply collapse and need an ivy. That kind of

322
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 1: heat and humidity can suck the life out of you

323
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: before you can comprehend it. Oh, it's not just the jungle,

324
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: mountainous jungle. In case you thought that was all either.

325
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: The soil absolutely dreadful to build in. People who aren't

326
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: in construction oftentimes don't realize this. All soils are not

327
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: the same. Different soils react different ways. In Panama, when

328
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: you strip off some ground, the ground above it just

329
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: sluffs off and drops right into your trench. And that's

330
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: if it's even solid ground. If it's mud, I don't

331
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: have to elaborate for you how that goes. And in

332
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: the eighteen eighties, when France starts this thing, they simply

333
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: don't know enough about disease and how disease spreads you

334
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: and I, well, I don't think we live at the

335
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: end of history. Undoubtedly, five hundred years from now, they're

336
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna look at some of our hundred years from now,

337
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at some of our medical practices today,

338
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna think, those freaking idiots, that was the

339
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: dumbest thing I've ever seen. What were they thinking? Well,

340
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you want to know what dumb is, here's dumb. It

341
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: wasn't their fault. France starts this massive railway project, massive

342
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: canal project, the massive construction project, trying to build the

343
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: Panama Canal. They sink a fortune into it and workers

344
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: start dying in droves from disease, mainly yellow fever. And

345
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: when I say droves, you can see the tombstones. To

346
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: this day, twenty two thousand frenchmen will die here, I

347
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: mean two hundred a month, dying in droves, and they're

348
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: dying mainly of yellow fever, some malaria, but mainly of

349
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: yellow fever. The French they don't know how yellow fever

350
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: is transmitted. They think it is ants, when it's actually mosquitoes.

351
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: So what do the French do to try to eat

352
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: patients suffering from yellow fever, treat patients suffering from other things.

353
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, France is a modern, powerful country at this time.

354
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: They have facilities and such. Here's what they do. Let's

355
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: say you have a little rash or a little dessert,

356
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe even a little yellow fever. Maybe you have a

357
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: little something. They're going to haul you into their hospital facility.

358
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: But man, it's awfully stuffy in here, and it smells

359
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: if you ever been you know what, Go open the window.

360
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: They left the windows open in their hospital facilities with

361
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: no screens as the mosquitoes flew in and out. Oh

362
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm not done there. Well, he's in here in the hospital.

363
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: We want to make sure we make it nice for him. Somebody,

364
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: somebody go get some potted plants. I bet they'll want

365
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: some potted plants, potted plants that hold little pools of

366
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: water where mosquitos thrive. Oh you thought that was bad.

367
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Remember when I told you it was ants. They thought

368
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: it was They thought ants were transmitting the yellow fever.

369
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: That hospital bed where you just laid down, that French worker.

370
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Well we can't have the ants crawling up the beams

371
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: to go bite him right and spread more disease. So

372
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: they took a little cup of water and placed all

373
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: four posts of the bed inside the cup of water

374
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: so the ants wouldn't be able to crawl through it. Yes,

375
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: that's right. They brought patients into hospitals and created mosquito

376
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: breeding grounds right underneath them. France, it actually turned out

377
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: to be this huge scandal. I think it's called the

378
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: Panama affair to this day. Maybe I should do something

379
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: on it one time, a separate show. I don't want

380
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: to do that today. But when I say a fortune,

381
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean trillions they spent there. This wealthy, absurdly wealthy

382
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: entrepreneur who kind of started this whole thing goes bankrupt.

383
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: He has investors, I think eight thousand of them and

384
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: maybe more. Don't quote me on that number. He has

385
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: tons of investors. They're all going bankrupt. People were The

386
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: guy who headed this for France was sentenced to prison.

387
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: He didn't end up having to go, but it was

388
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: a big deal. The country of France had its pride wounded,

389
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: and you don't know how the French handle that. They

390
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: look stupid. They finally call off the project. Twenty two

391
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: thousand people dead, investors lost everything. I mean, it was

392
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: considered this was a world scandal. Everybody knew about it.

393
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: This was a living hell. What Panama must be a

394
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: living hell? Americans oftentimes sometimes to our detriment, but oftentimes

395
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: we take that as a challenge. Wow, just because the

396
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: dirty French do it doesn't mean just because the French

397
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: can't do it, doesn't mean Americans can't do it. America

398
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: can do this. America digs in. America decides we're going

399
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: to purchase you see, the French own these rights by

400
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: this point in time, America decides we're going to take

401
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: those off your hands. Here's a little money to help

402
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: with your debt problem, and we just stole it from him,

403
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: just absolutely stole it from him. But now you've got

404
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: to build a project here too, and you have to

405
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: figure out one the disease, two how you're actually going

406
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: to do it. The plan was, and I don't want

407
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: to go full engineering teacher on you here, nor am

408
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: I qualified to do so, but the plan was, obviously,

409
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean are both at sea level.

410
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Let's do what we did with the Suez Canal and

411
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: just dig this massive canal through here at sea level.

412
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: Whatever's in front of us, just dig it. All the

413
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: way down again. That may work in the flat top desert,

414
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: that don't work for the freaking mountains of Panama. You

415
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: cannot rue. I mean, I guess you can, but removing

416
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: entire mountains is a bit time and labor intensive. They

417
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: decide they're going to come up with something different, one

418
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: of the coolest systems I've ever heard. Hang on feeling

421
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying right now again, Yes again,

422
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: I understand that I'm not trading it in. I don't

423
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: have to trade it in. I'm simply going to get

424
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: it fixed again. Why Well, because I have a car

425
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: shield auto protection plan. It means one, I don't have

426
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: to spend a fortune to get my truck fixed when

427
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: it needs to get fixed. Two, the payments are flexible.

428
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: The payments are flexible, and three I can take it

429
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: to whichever mechanic I want or dealership I want. Now

430
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: I have a mechanic I love, but Carshield lets me

431
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: do that, so I get my car repairs for cheaper.

432
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: I get to take it where I want, and my

433
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: payments are flexible. That is the definition of customer service.

434
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: That's why I love them so much. Go get a

437
00:33:43,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: deductible may apply first the disease, then we'll get to

438
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: the construction. We have some pretty sharp people here. I'm

439
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: sure you've heard of Walter Reed Hospital by now. You

440
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: want to know something about Walter read. Walter Reid is

441
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: one of the men who made the Panama Canal possible

442
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: and saved thousands of lives. You see, we figured out

443
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: this disease. It ain't the ants, it's the mosquitos, and

444
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: we don't want our people dying in droves. We're not

445
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: going to make the mistake France did, so we send down.

446
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: They called it the Mosquito Brigade, and do you want

447
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: to know why to this day they are very very

448
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: very very low amounts of mosquito born disease in Panama,

449
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: which is weird because it's a Central American country. Right, Well,

450
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: this is why the Mosquito Brigade goes into Panama. And

451
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't mean fifty guys with a couple sprayers. We

452
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: go into Panama with screens for the windows, thousands and

453
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of gallons of oil, powdered insecticide liquid insecticide.

454
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: We coat walls, cities, streets with it. We tear through

455
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: the countryside with it, pools, lakes. You have a gigantic

456
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: standing body of water here. Enjoy some oil on it

457
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: and in it so the mosquitoes cannot grow. We sent

458
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: down the mosquito, which is really impressive. At this time

459
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: we're talking early nineteen hundreds. We sent down a mosquito

460
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: brigade and virtually eliminated mosquito born illness in the country

461
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: of Panama. That's freaking awesome. That's really really an incredible feed.

462
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: They did this ahead of time so our workers could

463
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: go down there. Now, how are you going to do it?

464
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: If you can't do it at sea level? They are

465
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: going to do it with a lift system. Now I

466
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: have to dig into my bag of tricks and use

467
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: my incredible powers of word illustration. Chris, this is what

468
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: I want you to picture. You're looking at an overhead

469
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: of the Panama Canal. Right, you're looking at a Google

470
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Maps image. I want you to do me a favor

471
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: act like you're looking at it from the side instead

472
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: of above. Now Atlantic Ocean on the right, Pacific Ocean

473
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: on your left. Do a little mountain thing in your

474
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: mind with Panama in the middle. Instead of having a

475
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: flat water line from ocean to ocean, they're going to

476
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: put essentially steps in, but steps full of water. You see,

477
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: you're going to drive your ship into a gigantic tank.

478
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: That Believe me when I tell you I'm simplifying this.

479
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna pull your ship from the Atlantic from right

480
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: to left and it's gonna pull into a gigantic tank. Well,

481
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: we did something else. We built a huge dam on

482
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: a river that's a big part of the Panama Canal,

483
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: thus making it a huge lake, a man made lake.

484
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: It's this huge manmade lake. And go on to this day.

485
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: You pull your ship into your first compartment. They then,

486
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: using gravity, not pumps, using gravity, open up the gates

487
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: and flood that compartment you're in with water from the

488
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: lake that's above you, meaning your ship sitting in water

489
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: raises up to the level of the next lock, which

490
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: is above you on the left. You're going up the steps.

491
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: They then open up that gate and your ship pulls through.

492
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: They do it again. Open up that gate and your

493
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: ship pulls through. You drive clear through the Panama Canal,

494
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: get clear to the other side, and then you do

495
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: the same thing again in reverse, pull into this compartment.

496
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: They dropped the water level. You pull through, They drop

497
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: the water level you pull through. Highly recommend checking it out.

498
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: It's an extremely, extremely cool deal. I do not want

499
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: to sit and act like it was painless by any

500
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination. We still lost like three thousand

501
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: people here. And remember lots of times you're farming out

502
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: some of this work. We had a bunch of immigrants

503
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: from the Caribbean, bunch of black dudes from the Caribbean.

504
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Well they're black dudes in the early nineteen hundreds, so

505
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: automatically you're not exactly going to be given primary positioning.

506
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: Sweat was in and they're immigrants, I mean black and immigrants.

507
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: They're really going to be getting the shaft and pretty

508
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: much all this stuff. So we dumped all the high

509
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: explosive work on them. And there was a lot of

510
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: high explosive work because so much of this stuff couldn't

511
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: be dug out. You had to go dynamite it. Well,

512
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: this is an inexact science still at this time, I

513
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: mean it's still an inexact science. They're a lot better

514
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: about it today. But you're you drill a hole in

515
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: the ground and drop some dynamite in there. Maybe you

516
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: need one stick, baby, you need forty sticks. Let's drop

517
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: some in and find out. Timers are going off the

518
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: wrong way. In one explosion, twenty two guys died instantly.

519
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: They said they were flying through the air like birds,

520
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: pieces of them. And that's just that part, another part

521
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: of a construction project. You and I don't think about enough. Well,

522
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: I got a life experience in this. Where are you

523
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: going to put the dirt hang on your home title?

524
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: It's not just a piece of paper anymore. Your home

525
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: title gets sent to the cloud. You know what the

526
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: cloud is. The cloud is this gigantic area online where

527
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: titles and everything else gets digitized, and it's there. Guess

528
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: what area of the Internet cyber thieves live and die for.

529
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: That's right, the cloud. Every waking moment, cyber thieves are

530
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: out there finding a way to hack into it and

531
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: steal that information. And if they get ahold of your

532
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: home title, which they're doing in droves now, they can

533
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: hurt you bad, really really bad. I mean wiping out

534
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: your finances bad, getting evicted from your home bad. Unless

535
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: you have home title lock. The second day detect tampering,

536
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: they shut it down. Get it today. Home title lock

537
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: dot Com used to code radio for thirty days for free.

538
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: Where does the dirt go there? You're digging this huge canal.

539
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: We're talking three hundred by three fifty by nine miles.

540
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: That is a guard ganshuan amount of dirt, and you're

541
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: having more and more sluff in. What do you do

542
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: about this? They're having a hard time with the engineers

543
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: and construction workers. They have figuring out where to put

544
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: the dirt. Well, sometimes you have to look in odd

545
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: places for solutions. Who were the titans of industry in

546
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: America at this time. They were the men who did

547
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: steal Carnegie's how you say his name, Chris. They were

548
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: the Rockefellers, the oil men, JP Morgan, the finance men.

549
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: But we should never, ever, ever forget the railroad men

550
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: were the ones who originally connected the eastern part of

551
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: America and the western part of America. You have a

552
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: problem like this, maybe you don't call a construction guy.

553
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you call a railway guy the Jesse Kelly Show.

554
00:43:42,320 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: This is the Jesse Kelly Show. Teddy Roosevelt, who's running

555
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: this whole affair as President of the United States of America,

556
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: gives a phone call to a man named John Frank Stevens,

557
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: he built the Great Northern Railway in America, tells him

558
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: we have a problem, and men like Stevens thrive on

559
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: things like this. First things first, Stevens goes down there

560
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: and he realizes, as somebody who has built a railway

561
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: across the United States America, there are certain things you

562
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: have to have for major construction projects. One of them

563
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: is facilities for the workers. And I don't just mean

564
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: a cot on the ground. He starts putting together medical facilities,

565
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: housing facilities, and not shacks and shanties either. Nice stuff.

566
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: One thing that's extremely underrated out there is treating employees. Well.

567
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you should do that because you're a

568
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: good person. I mean, obviously I think you should do

569
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: that trying to be a good person. It's just smart business.

570
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: I have been with people companies who treated their employees

571
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: like crap. I've been with companies who treat their employees really,

572
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: really well. Companies who treat their employees really, really well,

573
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: inevitably over time will acquire more long lasting talent. And

574
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: that's really what you want as a company. You want

575
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: talented people familiar with your culture, who've bought into your

576
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: culture and stick around. And let me clarify employees and

577
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: employers out there, Treating employees well does not always mean money.

578
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: Oftentimes it doesn't. Obviously, you want to make sure employees

579
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: are always fairly compensated, always no question about that. You

580
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: underpay them, they're going to leave anyway. However, know what's underrated?

581
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: Extremely underrated in this day and age. Taking a day

582
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: off you mind, Yeah, go have a good one, see

583
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, have a good weekend. You know what's underrated? Hey,

584
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: I've got these expenses from our road trip I had

585
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: to go on for you. Yeah, we'll get that paid

586
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: right away. And you turn around a paycheck. You know what.

587
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: The company who loses talent, you know what they do. Actually,

588
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: it shows here that you spent twelve dollars instead of

589
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: eleven dollars on a meal. So that's actually gonna have

590
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: to come out of your pocket. That's somebody who's never

591
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: keeping any talent ever. Ever. Stevens understands this goes down,

592
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: creates a nice environment for the workers, which is going

593
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: to bring him a better quality of worker. Stevens also

594
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,720
Speaker 1: builds a railway. We need a railway. What you need

595
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: to haul all this dirt off our trains. And he

596
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: not only builds trains, he lines up this system. It's

597
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: very very cool. You can see it. There are even

598
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: many videos of it out there. He lines up this system.

599
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: I want you to picture a train car with essentially

600
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: a little train car with a little crane on the

601
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: front of it. He has a track, a train track

602
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: that holds together the train in front of the car,

603
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: can reach out, pick up the track in front of

604
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: it and set it down where it once and drive

605
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: over to it. And this is the early nineteen hundreds. Man,

606
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: these train guys have, these titans of industry were so impressive.

607
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: I understand there are so many bad things you can

608
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: talk about with these guys, but gosh, the stuff they

609
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: came up with and the stuff they made happen, American

610
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: capitalism and ingenuity. It's just we're very blessed to be here,

611
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: very blessed to be here. And here's the crazy thing

612
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: about Stevens, And I've known guys like this, and Roosevelt

613
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: hated him for it. But I've known guys like this.

614
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: Stevens didn't work for Roosevelt. Remember he was a private guy.

615
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: He agrees to work for Roosevelt for this. But Stevens

616
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: goes down. He lines out all the facilities, he lines

617
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: out the railway system, he lines out how you're going

618
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: to take off the dirt. He lines everything off out

619
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: and many quits and Roosevelt's all, wait, what what do

620
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: you mean you quit? And Stevens said, well, all the

621
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: hard stuff's done. The hard stuff is laying all this

622
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: stuff out, the actual building it. Now that I've laid

623
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: it out, it's not the hard stuff. I'm leaving goodbye.

624
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: Guys like that they are different men. There are guys

625
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: who have to be part of the building and don't

626
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: do well necessarily once it's built. There are different types

627
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: of generals out there. There are generals patent Hannibal, others

628
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: who you want attacking. Do not stuff this guy in

629
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: a fort somewhere. He's going to get in trouble if

630
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: he's under your employee. Get him some troops and aim

631
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 1: him somewhere and he'll do you just fine. However, there

632
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: are generals, and these guys are valuable too, who are

633
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: better at making sure the base runs well. Remember we

634
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about Fort Niagara with the Brits. A general

635
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: who runs a fort, who runs a base really well,

636
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: is not necessarily a good attacking general. Different people are

637
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: built differently. These business guys oftentimes are outstanding it walking

638
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: in to assist them that's absolutely in disarray and organizing it.

639
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: And you're fired and you're fired, and he's hired. And

640
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: we got to make sure we get this and spend

641
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: this money on this, and everything's fine, okay, we all

642
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: lead out good, all right, we look good here. I'm out.

643
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: Some men are like that, and those guys are awesome,

644
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: and those guys are necessary. Oftentimes the grind is where

645
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: people find their joy. But Stephen's ups and quits. Teddy's furious.

646
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: But Teddy decides, instead of hiring another private guy, he's

647
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: just gonna fire. He's just gonna hire an army colonel. Well,

648
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: or bring in an army colonel to head up this

649
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: project because, in Teddy's own words and I quote, well,

650
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: he can't quit because he works for me. But they

651
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: end up finishing this thing. In the end in modern money,

652
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: it costs over nine trillion dollars. You heard me right,

653
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: with a T as in tom. One last little tidbit

654
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: before we move off of the Panama Canal. There's obviously

655
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: a width on the locks, right on the locks that

656
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: raise the ships up. It's the whole canal. It's not

657
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: some tiny little shipping lane. Because of the huge man

658
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: made lake they have and created. It's just tight at

659
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: the entrances. Now there's a reason there's a limit on

660
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: the width. And do you want to know what that

661
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: reason was? Well? When was this thing being built? Early

662
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds? One last time, one last little mini trivia

663
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: question for the day. Can anybody think of a gigantic

664
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: ship also being built in the early nineteen hundreds that

665
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: would have been famous? That's right, the Titanic, the Panama Canal.

666
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: The entrances are the width they are because that was

667
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: the width of the Titanic, which was world famous when

668
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: it was built before it sunk to the bottom of

669
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean. How about that? That is the Panama Canal.

670
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt, little one more little tidbit before we leave

671
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: this story and the trivia question, what is the first

672
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: time a United States president traveled abroad while in office.

673
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: The answer to said question is Teddy Roosevelt traveling down

674
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: to the Panama Canal. How about that? That's right, Chris.

675
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to be photoed in a steam shovel. He

676
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: wanted to tell the workers and did you are essentially

677
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: soldiers furthering American interests? There you go, the greatest construction

678
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: project of all time. Your holster is way more important

679
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: than you think it is. It's just way more important

680
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: than you think it is. What look, and I get

681
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: that the holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms.

682
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: All right, You want to talk about your weapon and

683
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: your ammunition. You want to talk about your safety training.

684
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about how you did it at

685
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: the range. Oh look at my groups. I was doing

686
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: these failure drills today, and all that stuff is really important,

687
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, really really important. I'm not discounting that. But

688
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: I've known so many people who do all those things.

689
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 1: They take all the necessary steps, and then they carry

690
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: with a holster they bought from a big box hunting

691
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: store that was made a thousand at a time. Please

692
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: don't put your life in one of those holsters. You

693
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: need to trust Northwest Retention Systems because it's all custom
