1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I carry around NW retention dot Com. That's NW Retention

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. When is

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: the last time you burnt yourself on the oven or

21
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: the stove or the grill, A burn like that? Do

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: you remember it? He probably don't remember the exact date.

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, our our minds don't work that way.

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: But I bet you what you do remember is at

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: least for the next time or two after you burnt yourself,

26
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: aren't you a little more careful around the oven? Of course,

27
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: then you forget about it like I do too, And

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: then you go, You'll burn yourself again in the area,

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and then the next couple of times you're a lot

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: more ginger when you're setting something in the human mind

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: is conditioned over time. It is conditioned over time to

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: fear certain things, to love certain things, to hate certain things.

33
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: And our bad experiences, all of them. Whatever the case,

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Maybe our bad experiences, our mind makes adjustments to try

35
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: to avoid those experiences. Ever again, how many different ways

36
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: have you seen this in your life? Maybe it's uh,

37
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's maybe it's with women, Maybe it's with men.

38
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I knew a guy he had a bad drinking problem.

39
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Used to scream at me. Now you won't date anybody

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: who has a drink manifests itself in all kinds of

41
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: good ways, bad ways. It's just ugly, right, Hang on

42
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: to that for a moment. I want you to imagine something.

43
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: Picture this for me. I want you to imagine it's

44
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: World War two era, only there's no invasion of Russia,

45
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: there's no Holocaust, there's no Italian campaign. There's just this

46
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: country called Germany. Bit of a wing nut dude in

47
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: charge of it, gets a little full of himself, invades Poland,

48
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: takes Poland and then turns around and invades France and

49
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: gets the crap kicked out of him, kicked out of office,

50
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: probably in prison somewhere. Germany gets a new government, life

51
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: goes on. Now. I know what you're thinking, why would

52
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: I imagine such a thing. Well, here's why you should

53
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: imagine such a thing, because right before the Nazi invasion

54
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: of France, that was the likely scenario Hitler's own general

55
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: staff if you had asked them, in fact, they were

56
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: screaming about it before. If you had asked them what

57
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: was going to be the result of the German invasion

58
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: of France, they would have told you, to a man,

59
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: we are going to get crushed. This is going to

60
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: end our nation. And think about the people who would

61
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: be alive today if that had happened. If you want to,

62
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: if you want to just make it about lives, forget

63
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the property which I've got. I don't even know if

64
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: you can put a number on that much property. But

65
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: think about the lives that would still be walking the

66
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: earth this day. The Holocaust alone, I'm almost positive. Jewish

67
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: producer Chris you may know this. I'm pretty sure there

68
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: are still fewer Jews alive today than there were pre Holocaust.

69
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: I think they killed so many of them by a

70
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: million or so. Yeah, that's right. Setting aside the Jews, Russians,

71
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: twenty five million dead Russians. Now imagine all their kids

72
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: and now, since we're so far or later their kids kids,

73
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: how many more people are walking the earth? One hundred million,

74
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: two hundred million. It's a lot. Now, none of that

75
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: had to happen. And I'm about to go into the

76
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: reasons why. And I'm not big on disclaimers. In fact,

77
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: as you know, I pretty much hate disclaimers most of

78
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: the time. Why because it seems like everybody on our side,

79
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: not everybody, that's not fair. Too many people on our

80
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: side are constantly playing defense with things that they shouldn't

81
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: even pay any attention to. Racism is a great example

82
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: of that. For people on the right the left, it's

83
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: their narrative. Right, people on the right or racist. The

84
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: geop's racists. Trump's fans are Nazis, the Geopes Nazis. Republicans

85
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: are Nazis, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. You know, you've heard

86
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: it all. You go into black communities that vote overwhelming

87
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: ninety percent Democrat, they have been told that their whole

88
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: lives too. They watch the news, they watch CNN. Republicans

89
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: are Nazis. Civil rights leaders, Republicans are racist. Republicans are Nazis.

90
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: So it's everywhere, It's all over the media. Well, that's

91
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: just kind of the way it is. Republicans are Nazis,

92
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: Republicans are racists. And what do you see as a

93
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: result from that? You see all these GOP pundits and

94
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: politicians putting in policies and in saying things as if

95
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: they have to prove they're not. Well, this is you

96
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: remember that Amad Armory Arbory case in Georgia. Look by

97
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: all accounts, it looks like murder, maybe manslaughter, or a

98
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: horrible shoot. I'm not defending at all, but immediately every

99
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: Republican pundit and politician comes out, this is a modern

100
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: day lynching. This is racism. I can't believe we still

101
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: have this racism. It's racism. There's there's not even to

102
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: this point that it may come out. But to this

103
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: point there's not even a tiny indication it was in

104
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: any way race based, not even a little. But you

105
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: feel like you have to constantly defend against this image

106
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: somebody's made for you. Don't defend yourself against things that

107
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: aren't true. You can call me a racist all day long.

108
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to defend myself. I'm just going to

109
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: ignore you. I don't care. That doesn't matter your opinion.

110
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: That's unimportant to me. Your opinion is unimportant to me

111
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: for me to defend myself against things that aren't true.

112
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: So I hate qualifiers. I hear them all the time. Dude,

113
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: just have an opinion. Just talk about something well. I

114
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: understand this might not be my place. Oh my goodness, dude, speak,

115
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: you'll hear I have guests on now and then like that.

116
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Do you know what? You won't hear them coming on

117
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: a second time. I actually had a guest on one time.

118
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: I asked this person a question. This is a long

119
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: time ago, so don't bother listening. I asked this person

120
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a question. This person said back to me, and I kid,

121
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you not, and I quote, I don't know, what do

122
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: you think. I'm not making that up. I cut off

123
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: the interview immediately. The person's never been back on. I'm

124
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: not doing that to you have an opinion, I don't

125
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: care if it's one I disagree with. Speak So that

126
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: was a very, very very long way of saying this.

127
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: I was accused yesterday of being a bit of a

128
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Napoleon fanboy, and I'm kind of guilty. Yes, I understand

129
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: there were lots of people die, and I get that,

130
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: But one, I didn't know any of those people. And two,

131
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm a Napoleon fanboy. I admire greatness,

132
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: and by any measure military, the man was spectacular. I

133
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: admire greatness. I study it as much as I possibly can.

134
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: I also am not one of these people who has

135
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: ever been under the impression that great men who do

136
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: great things are good men. In fact, I accept automatically

137
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: they are almost undoubtedly bad men. Did you hear about

138
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan? You love his documentary. Did you hear he

139
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: was he was? He was, you know, a huge philanderer. Yeah,

140
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: I expected as much. And if you think that your

141
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: favorite sports star isn't brother, I've got some news for you.

142
00:10:34,960 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Hang on, we need to talk about Boomer Natural Rules.

143
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: You see, it's got a funny name, but it's got

144
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: the best stuff in the world. And look, they call

145
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: it that because it's specifically for the baby Boomer generation,

146
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: although they have something for everybody. And they call it

147
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: that because they use natural products. And doesn't that matter

148
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: to you? At this time? I can't believe all the

149
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: good stuff I found on boomer Naturals. I don't like

150
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: putting a bunch of man made chemicals in my body.

151
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't. Plus, they have face masks, good ones, face

152
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: masks that give you ninety two point two percent antibacterial protection.

153
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: That is incredible. And they don't have any of this

154
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: one size fits all garbage. They have good ones for

155
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: adults and kids. Many of your kid doesn't have to

156
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: wear an entire face covering. Go to boomer naturals dot com.

159
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: a Napoleon lover. I was accused of being after yesterday.

160
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss yesterday's show, So I will admit.

161
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: When I was doing some reading for today. And I've

162
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: always thought this way about this. I was thinking to myself, Man,

163
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: two days in a row, I'm going to be accused

164
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: of being some kind of French lover because I am

165
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: about to defend the nation of France. Don't scoff, I

166
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: see what you're doing. I love all the French white

167
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: flag jokes too. I love all the French people are

168
00:12:53,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: week two. But France going down at the Battle of France.

169
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: You know, when Germany invaded France and going down relatively easily.

170
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: It's thought to be one of, if not the biggest

171
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: military disasters ever, and one of the biggest blunders ever,

172
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: and how weak and pathetic it is. And the French

173
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: people were throwing down their arms. And I'm about to

174
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: give you the real skinny on what happened, but first

175
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: let us rewind just a little bit, because you cannot

176
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: possibly understand what happened at the Battle of France without

177
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: talking about World War One. Now I need you to

178
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: picture something for me. First. I want you to picture

179
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: forty percent of the American male population having gone through

180
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: a living hell or that you can't even imagine. That

181
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: was France post World War One. As I have explained,

182
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: to you several times. I will say it till the

183
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: end of my days. I certainly could be wrong because

184
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: I can't be there, But if you had to put

185
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: me in one combat situation that I would say is

186
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: the worst in the history of mankind. And I mean

187
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: spears and shields and shove it. A spear through someone's

188
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: neck and getting one shoved through yours, that kind of

189
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: horrifying fear. Being on the Western Front in World War

190
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: One and the trenches is in my opinion, the worst

191
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: wartime experience anyone has ever gone through ever ever an

192
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: experience of being gassed to death, and way almost worse

193
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: than that. The artillery because they didn't quite know how

194
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: to use it yet, so they would just drop endless

195
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: shells even if you didn't die. We have, and I've

196
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: told you before to look it up. Feel free to

197
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: do it while I speak. There are YouTube videos out

198
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: there of guys who got a bunch of shells around

199
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: them in World War One, got shelled a bunch didn't

200
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: get hit, and you see them post war trying to

201
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: get treatment. They can hardly walk. It's like their joints

202
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: don't work. We're talking a war that was so damaging

203
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: it would break you without around hitting you. Horrifying, horrifying

204
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: loss of life. We lost fifty five thousand people in Vietnam.

205
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: That British lost fifty five thousand people in about four

206
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: hours at the Battle of the Psalm Carnage. Like you

207
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: can't believe machine guns. They didn't know what they were doing.

208
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Waves in France, contrary to what you and I like

209
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: to believe and make fun of them, for brother, France

210
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: took that war on the chin from beginning to end.

211
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: France was involved in it. France was in the meat

212
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: grinder of it. France lost more men by a mile

213
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: than any other nation on Earth. France lost one point

214
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: seven million people in World War One. I'm almost positive

215
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the United States of America has not lost one point

216
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: seven million people in all of our wars combined period.

217
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive of that. I think six hundred thousand

218
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Civil War, four hundred thousand World War Two at everybody else,

219
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: I bet you it's a close number. Chris looked that up,

220
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: but it's close. France was knee deep in that slaughter.

221
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: You know. The Americans, US, we were involved in World

222
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: War One in combat. We're about nine months now. We

223
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: look at everything through the view of America. And that's fine,

224
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: that's good that we should be patriots. But France was

225
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: there nineteen fourteen to the end of it, baby taken

226
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: that German juggernaut of an army some people say, the

227
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: greatest army of all time, and go and blow for

228
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: blow with them, and over two percent of France's population died,

229
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: over two percent. Put that into a frame of reference

230
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: for you here. That would be like the United States

231
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: of America going to war today, a big one four

232
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: years later, US losing twelve million people. What do you

233
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: think our society would be like if we sent off

234
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: twelve million people to their deaths? And oh did I

235
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: mention the people who didn't die but came back. Remember

236
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: that YouTube video I told you back about mentally shattered,

237
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: physically shattered, especially because of the artillery. There were so

238
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: many gruesome, gruesome but non fatal injuries. You're welcome to

239
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: go look that up to there are plenty of pictures online.

240
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend doing that around a meal and France

241
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: stood there toe to toe with Germany, and prior to that.

242
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: The reason I sound like a French defender is we

243
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: just talked about Napoleon yesterday when they were beating the

244
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: living crap out of everybody. France has a long, long, long,

245
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: long history, but militarily, militarily, until World War Two, France

246
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to be ashamed of. Jack, not a

247
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: dag gone thing. Again, I'm not some French defender, but

248
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: not a dag gone thing. Remember this. More Brits and

249
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: French and Italians died in World War One than World

250
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: War Two. The reason you think of World War Two

251
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: on the grand scale you think of it is three reasons.

252
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: One the Holocaust. Two we were actually attacked on our soil,

253
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: and three the Russian campaign, which skewed all the numbers

254
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: way way out of whack. World War One was, by

255
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: many accounts, the greater conflict, in my opinion, an ugly,

256
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: ugly affair. And France, buddy, France was a baller during

257
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: that war. And here's what happened in World War One

258
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: before we get up to the Battle of France for

259
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: World War two. Now, this is going to be important,

260
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: and I try not to bore you with mind numbing

261
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: details and geography stuff. You know, I don't do that.

262
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't bore you with a million names. It's not

263
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: because the names aren't important. You should learn the names

264
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: if that's your thing, but they get lost. It's always

265
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: driven me crazy when somebody tells me a story. Did

266
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: you know General MacArthur he was right there with his

267
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: first Army Corps, General Johnson, and he was working with

268
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: General Ironside of the Britain side and the and General Okay,

269
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm already confused. General who what? Who is with? I

270
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: don't so I don't do it. Maybe that's your thing.

271
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't do it. But this part is going to

272
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: be important for you to learn, So pay attention. I

273
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: need you to picture Germany. I need you to picture France.

274
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Germany is on the right as you look at the map.

275
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: France is on the left. As you look at the map.

276
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: You're with me. So far, pretty easy. Right, Germany in

277
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the east, France and the west. That's where we go.

278
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: Germany in France, right next to each other, and at

279
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: the very top, in between them, the very top, there's

280
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: this little place called Belgium and Luxembourg. But we're gonna

281
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: focus on Belgium for our purposes. Hang on one second.

282
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: France on the left, Germany on the right, Belgium up

283
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: there in between them at the very tippy top. Now

284
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: understand they're a little caddiwamp us to put it weirdly,

285
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: France is a little lower than Germany what you're looking

286
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: at right there, But that's not going to matter for

287
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: our purposes. Let's keep it somp okay. Now, in World

288
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: War one Germany and this is actually isn't actually a

289
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: World War one story, but we can't tell our story

290
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: without telling the World War One one. Briefly, Germany, they

291
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: knew they were going to have to take on France

292
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: and Russia. I'm not going to get into all the reasons.

293
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: We'll do that another day. And what they needed to

294
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: do was quickly quickly knock France out of the war. Well,

295
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: France had a bunch of troops along that French German border,

296
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: They're not stupid, and up near Belgium where the you know, French.

297
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: It had to go France, then Belgium. Then they didn't

298
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: really and Germany had a plan called the Schleifen Plan,

299
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: where they were going to storm through Belgium, whether the

300
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: Belgium's would allow them to or not. Belgium actually eventually

301
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: said no, you can't, and then Germany said, actually we

302
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: can and then wiped out their entire country for it.

303
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: And the plan was to storm through Belgium, storm into France,

304
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: knock out France, then you can turn and face Russia

305
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: because you don't want to fight a two front war.

306
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: That was the Schleifen plan, and they attempted it. I

307
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: don't know whether you'd call it a failure. I guess

308
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: you can call it a failure because it did most

309
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: definitely did not knock out France. But that's where obviously

310
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: France stopped them up there once they got onto French soil,

311
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: and then you began World War One. Now this part's

312
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: going to come into play too, so'll pay attention the

313
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: French people, like anybody with national pride, and sadly, I

314
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: feel like some people today may not understand such a thing,

315
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: but especially back in these days, France had a lot

316
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: of national pride in France, in their nation. And this

317
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: is important. World War One was not fought in Germany.

318
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: World War one was fought in France. Those lines, all

319
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: those trenches, all those things you saw, those were in France.

320
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: World War One was fought on French soil. That famous

321
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: battle Overdone, one of the worst places you could ever

322
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: be in human history. The Germans actually chose that place

323
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: specifically because the French loved it so much for its history.

324
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: It was such a cultural landmark. The Germans specifically chose

325
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: it because they knew we could just wrecked the place

326
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: and it'll drive the French insane. The French had a

327
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: lot of pride in France, in the history of France,

328
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: and there's so much history of France, and that was

329
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: a well, that was an ugly bit of business for

330
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: them because all those trenches, all all those holes left

331
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: after those endless artillery shells. Verdone I just mentioned, you

332
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: know at some point. I don't know if there are

333
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: pictures of this, I've never looked it up. They savor

334
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Done was this thickly forested placed at the beginning of

335
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the battle, and by the time it was over there

336
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: was not a single tree left. I'm not exaggerating, not

337
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: a single tree. The artillery had made the place a moonscape.

338
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: You remember that that was World War One. So France

339
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: kicks off World War One. All these bloody battles, everybody knows,

340
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: the story horrible. They finally sign the Treaty of Versailles.

341
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: We're not going to go into that disaster again. But

342
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: we move on from World War One, and now this

343
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: is where things start to get a little lost. The truth,

344
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: i should say, starts to get a little lost. People

345
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: are a little confused what happened next. There's this way

346
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: of thinking that France was just sitting there munching on

347
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: some crois Scots while Hitler took power in Germany, pulled

348
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Germany from the ashes, and began to secretly build up

349
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: this military juggernaut. And France and Britain had no idea.

350
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: I just think they're planting grapes. I don't think they're

351
00:26:53,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: building tanks. Totally totally wrong. They knew, they weren't quite

352
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: sure what they should do about it. They weren't quite

353
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: sure what he was going to do about it, but

354
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: they knew. Oh, and there's another way of thinking that

355
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: France so mentally scarred and damaged and poor from World

356
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: War One, they basically give up, gave up being a

357
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: military at all. They disbanded their army and they all

358
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: went and made Graham crackers. Nope, France was well aware,

359
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: well aware that it had to stay on top of

360
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: their military technology, of their military ability. They were always

361
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: they were well aware of what could happen if they didn't.

362
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: They knew what Germany was doing. France was churning out tanks,

363
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: churning out planes, churning out one of the best bombers

364
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: the world has ever seen. Britain too, Britain was all

365
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: over this that they were all over making sure they

366
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: were squared away. And so we get to World War two,

367
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: or the beginning of World War two. And here's the deal.

368
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: You and I both do this because we weren't there,

369
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: and we can't put ourselves in the middle of a timeline.

370
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: We are looking from the lens of twenty twenty, not

371
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: the vision the year. We're looking back, and all we

372
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: see is well, I mean the Nazi army, this big, evil,

373
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: evil thing full of full of Jew hating Nazis, and

374
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: it was also this evil war machine with blood dripping fangs.

375
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Slow down, Slow down. Adolf Hitler was a Jew hating

376
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Nazi demon. Adolph Hitler surrounded himself, lots of his people

377
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: were Jew hating Nazi demons. Himmler or the rest of them.

378
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: There's no question I'm not denying them. They would never

379
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: deny the atrocities. But understand this, everybody in the German

380
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: military was not some Jew hating Nazi demon. In fact,

381
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: much of the German military, especially the big cheeses, all

382
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: the generals I didn't care about Jews and care about

383
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: Nazism at all. And in fact, they had four years

384
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: of experience fighting wars in World War One. What I'm

385
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: trying to tell you is Germany at the beginning of

386
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: World War Two, at the beginning, was led by studs,

387
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: not even Nazis either. Some Nazis in there, sure, but

388
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Germany was led by extremely capable generals with worlds and

389
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: worlds of experience. Now, before we kick off our Battle

390
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: of France here, remember what we talked about about how

391
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: history has a way of being rewritten. There's that way

392
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: of thinking that France just turned and ran and laid

393
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: down and weren't militarily ready. France, France and Britain, they

394
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: were combined fighting this fight, had easily more troops than

395
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: the Germans by a mile. They had more tanks than

396
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: the Germans by a mile. Oh, and did I mention

397
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: the tanks they did have were far superior than the

398
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: German tanks at the beginning of the war. Remember, everything's

399
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: through a lens of twenty twenty. At the end of

400
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: the war, Germany had these great Generation four I'm gonna

401
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: call them panzers. In the beginning, they had Generation one

402
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: and two, and they sucked, especially compared to frances France

403
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: had tanks that were white, better than Germany's. They had

404
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: fighter pilots that were as good or better than anything

405
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Germany had, and they had a lot more of them,

406
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: and their pilots were way better than Germany's. I gotta

407
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: sayle phone Pro, you need one. I know you don't

408
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: want to have to buy something else, but let me

409
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: explain something to you. Think about your phone. Maybe it's

410
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: in your hand, maybe it's in your pocket, maybe it's

411
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: sitting beside you. Now, think about all the places that

412
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: phone has been. Think about all the places your hands

413
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: have been. And then you touched your phone, then you

414
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: talked on your phone, then you set your phone down.

415
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you personally, I phone is sitting beside me

416
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: on this countertop. I don't know when the last time

417
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: this countertop was cleaned. Maybe never. That's not an exaggeration.

418
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: Your phone has more germs on it on average than

419
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: a public restroom. You need a clean phone Pro because

420
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: it uses UBC lights. To completely disinfect your phone. Now

425
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: know you may have even gone and looked it up

426
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: because you've been told, right, you have been told time

427
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: and time again. Germany, this military juggernaut at the beginning

428
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: of World War Two, when storming through those pasty French

429
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: who weren't even close to being I know, don't look,

430
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: I ain't mad at you. That's what I was stopping

431
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: my whole life. Yeah, it's completely false. France and Britain combined,

432
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: Shoot France alone, but definitely France and Britain combined, because

433
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: they were combined right now, had by far more troops,

434
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: more planes, better planes, more tanks, better tanks, a superior

435
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: navy by a mile. Not only that, they had all

436
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: the supplies because of the British Navy, so they could

437
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: just sit in siege Germany and lock them down and

438
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: strangle them to death, kind of the same way they

439
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: did in World War One Germany when they invaded Poland.

440
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: Again because we look at everything through through you know,

441
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: our lens. We're all like, oh man. That was the

442
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: beginning of Germany storming through Europe. They invaded Poland and

443
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Hitler did not think Britain would act as he declared war.

444
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: He was despondent when he found out they did, and

445
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: his generals told him, we are done. This is it

446
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: for us. We are in no way, in no way

447
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: ready to take on Britain and France. They weren't even

448
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: considering America or Russia at this time. Germany, after they

449
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: invaded Poland, was in a horrible military situation. They were toast.

450
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: On top of that, Hndler now decides that he wants

451
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: to invade France. His general staff freaked out. We have

452
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: all their memoirs after the fact, and I mean to

453
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: a man, they were all, I'm sorry, what invade France?

454
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: Did you say invade France? We can't invade France. They're

455
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna beat the crap out of us. On top of

456
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: the fact, France had the machinol. And let us go

457
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: back to the map that we talked about earlier. Remember,

458
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: you got Germany on the right, you got France on

459
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: the left, you got Belgium up there on the top

460
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: in between them. Remember before in World War One when

461
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Germany went storming through Belgium, You remember the reason they

462
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: went storming through Belgium at the top instead of just

463
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: crossing it over the border, because the French had a

464
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: strong border. Yeah, that's strong border from World War One

465
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: got a lot stronger. They built one of the military

466
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: wonders of the world. It was called the Maginot Line.

467
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: And I've never seen it. I don't know how much

468
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: of it still exists. If you know something about it,

469
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: you've seen it and it's awesome, email me now Jesse

470
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Jesse at Jesse Kelly

471
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: show dot com. So I've never seen I don't know

472
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: if it's still exists. But it was essentially this a long, long, long, long,

473
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: long line of forts only because of artillery and the

474
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: advances in technology. It wasn't forts like you and I

475
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: think of forts, you know, big walls and stuff. They

476
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: were underground and the forts had had artillery weapons that

477
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: would rise and fall, and machine gun pill boxes that

478
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: were built into the ground. And this entire thing's underground

479
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: and it's all interconnected. So there's a kitchen and a

480
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: field hospital, and it has a railway that connects all

481
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: the forts. It just sounds like something I would geek

482
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: out on and my wife would roll her ez the

483
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: entire time we were going through it. It just it

484
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: sounds incredible. And Germany knew there was this Magino line there.

485
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: Like I said, it got stronger, and France had reserves

486
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: behind the Magino line. Part of any defense is you

487
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: keep people in reserves behind it because inevitably the defense

488
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: is going to fail someplace. You can't foresee the reserves

489
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: run up, reinforce it. You're good to go. So Germany's oh,

490
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: oh gosh, well we can't invade there, just the same

491
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: reason we couldn't invade there before. Would we can't do

492
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: it right? Well, what are we gonna do. Let's go

493
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 1: through Belgium again. A lot of them we're telling Hitler,

494
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: let's go through Belgium again. And Hitler, to his credit,

495
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: for all the military blunders he made, they used to

496
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: scoff at him. His generals would scoff at him behind

497
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: his back and call him the corporal, because that's what

498
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: he was. In World War One. You have all these people,

499
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: all these generals there and remember Germany had amazing generals,

500
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: especially in World War One, but they had plenty of

501
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: World War two two, and these guys were look, they

502
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: just knew how to do military. Then they knew how

503
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: to train their generals. And these were guys who'd spend

504
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: a career on tactics and logistics and stuff like that.

505
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: And Hitler would come in and be like, now, we're

506
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: not doing that, and they would look at him like,

507
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: oh gosh, this guy is an idiot. He's gonna get

508
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: us all killed. But to his credit, when he told

509
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: them come up with a plan to invade France, and

510
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: they all brought him their plans. Everybody, almost to a man,

511
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: brought him virtually the same plan they'd used in World

512
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: War One. We can't cross that Maginot line. Let's go

513
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: through Belgium. We'll blow him out through there, try to

514
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: storm through France. Let's do the best we can. And again,

515
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. They were supposed to lose

516
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: this battle. By any accounts. If you look at this

517
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: on paper and even strategically, you can war game it

518
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: all day long, and they did. They were supposed to

519
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: lose this. This was a stupid decision on Hitler's part

520
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: suicidal until well, it generally only takes one brilliant mind,

521
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: and there was a guy who had a plan. Hang on,

522
00:38:53,680 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that plan. I hate that feeling, you know,

523
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: the feeling when you lay down at night and you've

524
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: had a long day and you're tired, and it's time

525
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: to finally put your feet up, get under the covers

526
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: and relax and go to sleep, and then your mind

527
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: starts going nuts. What happens to me? All the time

528
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: you think about the day you just had, I think

529
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: about my show I've got to do the next morning.

530
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: I think about the wife, kids, depression, pandemic, whatever the

531
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: case may be. Your mind starts going and then you

532
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: start getting frantic, and then it gets worse and worse

533
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: and worse and worse, and soon you know, for a fact, man,

534
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow's gonna suck, because I'm not gonna be me. There's

535
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: a new so ocean out there, a drug free solution

536
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: out there. It's called EBB Sleep. You put it on

537
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: your head. It applies precise, continuous cooling to your forehead,

538
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: putting you to sleep and keeping you asleep. Gonna tryeb

539
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash Jesse used the code Jesse at checkout,

540
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: you get twenty five bucks off. Hopefully I never start

541
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: off another sentence like this. But again, Hitler, to his credits,

542
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: he rejected all those plans that involves storming through Belgium. Again,

543
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: he rejected him. They brought him the big shot generals

544
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: that knew it all, brought him several plans like that,

545
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: and he said, that is just like the sleeping plan.

546
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: They're gonna see that coming. Give me something new, give

547
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: me something else. And they didn't know what else to

548
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: give him. They didn't what do we do here? What

549
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: we can't go to the Magino Line or Hitler doesn't

550
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: want us to go through Belgium. What in the world

551
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: are we going to do until one man comes up

552
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: with a plant. Now remember that picture of Germany, France

553
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: and Belgium. Well, here's the thing. The Magino Line is

554
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: running north and south. You have Belgium up there running

555
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: east and west. Again, that's very simplified, but I'm making

556
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: this as easy as possible because I know you're not

557
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: staring at a map. There is, however, a gap in

558
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: between that Magino Line in Belgium, a gap where there

559
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: are only some really light French troops, kind of the

560
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: worst troops they had. That's where they stashed them. Now,

561
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, Jesse. How could France be

562
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: so stupid as to stash their worst troops there? This

563
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: is why they lost. It's understandable why they stashed their

564
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: worst troops there. I will explain in just a second

565
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. This is the Jesse Kelly Show.

566
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: Remember you got Belgium up top, you got the heavily

567
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: defended Maginel Maginot line on the other side, but right

568
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: in between you have the Arden Forest. Now, the Arden

569
00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: Forest was nasty, as you can imagine. There are trees,

570
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: lots of them, hills bordering borderline, mountains and rivers. Now,

571
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: not to geek out on military stuff too much for

572
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: you here, but rivers are a major, major, major problem

573
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: in military campaigns. It's something they will scout out ahead

574
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: of time, long before movements, because you have to figure

575
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: out a way across rivers. If there are only a

576
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: few ways in place across rivers, you have to assume

577
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: anybody with half a brain defensively is going to blow

578
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: those bridges. It's a big deal. And if they do

579
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: blow the bridges, guess what you got to have a

580
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: plan for that too. You got all these tanks, you

581
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: got all these men, you got all these trucks, you

582
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: got all these things. They can't just hover across the river.

583
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: They have to take a bridge, either the one that's

584
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: there or one you build fast. Not gonna go off

585
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: on this now, because I can talk about this guy

586
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: all day long. But one of my favorite stories ever

587
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: is Julius Caesar going up to the Rhine River because

588
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: he was mad at the Germans and wanted to go

589
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: slap him around, and using ancient Roman technology from before Christ,

590
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: builds a bridge across the Rhine River in nine days.

591
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: I there aren't many things that sound that boring that

592
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: I would love to go back and see. I just

593
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: want to go back and see how that is even

594
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: humanly possible. Nine days then he crosses the river, goes

595
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: and beats up a bunch of Germans, goes back across

596
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 1: the river and destroys the bridge as a way of saying,

597
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: screw you. I can come back and do this whenever

598
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: I feel like this wasn't something special. This was a

599
00:44:54,880 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon for me. Peace. That's awesome. That's awesome. But

600
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: either way, bridges are important, and Germany figures out what

601
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: they're going to do. And here's the plan. You see France.

602
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: They're mad at Germany, they know Germany's probably coming. And

603
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: what does French do. What does France do instead of

604
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: putting more men on the Magino line, You don't need

605
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: them there, They stack all of their men in equipment

606
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: and top tier troops up in Belgium, and they put

607
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: them in Belgium, I should say, because again remember what

608
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier, how World War One was fought

609
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: in France and there there was still so much battle

610
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: scarring there. They didn't want that ever again, no, please,

611
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: never again, not on French soil. So they put all

612
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: their shock troops, all those amazing tanks I told you

613
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: about everything up into Belgium. They've got the Magino line.

614
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: We're good to go. These Germans are screwed, except that

615
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: Germans were nuts growd. The Germans had a plan, and

616
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: that plan involved doing a gigantic fake up north, sending

617
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: several troops, mind you, just not the best ones and

618
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: not the bulk of them up north, up towards that Belgiamarius.

619
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: So the French should be like, see, I knew they

620
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: were coming this way, these idiots, and then blowing through

621
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: the arden forest. And this is where you start to

622
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: hear about that blitzkrieg strategy. Everybody talks about it. Now

623
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: everyone knows about the blitz in football, and everybody's heard

624
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: the word blitzkrieg, and blitzkrieg means this, and blitzkrieg means that.

625
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: Here's what blitzkrieg essentially means. One. There are actual objectives

626
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: to it. It's more than just some defensive coordinator in

627
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: football screaming and slobbering at his linebacker to go hit

628
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback. A blitzkrieg essentially wants to get into a

629
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: nation and sees its communications and sees its supply. It

630
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: has two main objectives. In picture this picture, we were

631
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: invaded by Mexico tomorrow. You don't know exactly what's going on,

632
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: do you? I mean, are you on the border. Are

633
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: you flying overhead with some kind of radar plane? No,

634
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: you're not. What would you do? You would turn on

635
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: the news. Now, imagine on the news as you turn

636
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: it on as some Mexican general saying we control your country.

637
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: Now sees in communications, You see what I mean? And

638
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: you're like, WHOA maybe that's a fake. Okay, Look, hey,

639
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: we better stock up on kraftmack. Looks like the Mexicans

640
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: are here, and you hop in your car and drive

641
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: down to the grocery store and the Mexicans or have

642
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: control of the parking lot. What would you think you'd

643
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: think the Mexicans have control of the country. That's, in essence,

644
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: what the Blitzkreeg is. And the part of it about

645
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: really being blitzy is the Germans had this famous saying,

646
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: and it sounds really cool, don't get me wrong, but

647
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: it can bite you in the rear end and did

648
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: later for them, but it sounds cool. They didn't like

649
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: the way we did combat a lot, and they kind

650
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: of made fun of us, saying Americans feel with their

651
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: fingers when they should smash with their fist. Which look,

652
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: even though you're rooting for America and not the dirty Germans,

653
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, that's kind of cool, right, smash with

654
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: the fist. Yeah, baby, it can get you in a pickle.

655
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: But there's a reason you do some feeling with your

656
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: fingers first, so you don't smash your fist into a

657
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: cinder block. But really, this was the Blitzkrieg's masterpiece here.

658
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 1: They'd tore through the Arden Forest. The French because well,

659
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: let's be honest, remember touching that hot stove. The French

660
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to blow the bridges. The French, the people

661
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: in charge of the French army, these were all people

662
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: who were witnesses to the absolute carnage of World War One,

663
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to blow the bridges. They couldn't

664
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: blow the bridges. And Germany tore across the bridges. They

665
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: focused all their planes, all their crappy tanks, and they

666
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: were crappy tanks, all in this one area, and they

667
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: essentially blew the French off the map. Only took about

668
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: a month. And I know you haven't made in one question.

669
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: Some I can answer, some I can't. Why didn't they

670
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: turn around and try to attack down south? Understand this,

671
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: when Germany blew through the Arden Forest, they didn't march

672
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: right through to Paris, not immediately anyway, and they certainly

673
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: could have turned turned around and counterattacked. With all these

674
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: great troops and tanks are just sitting up there in Belgium,

675
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Turn around and go well? The

676
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: French leader called Winston Churchill. As soon as the Germans

677
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: blew through the Arden forest and told him we are defeated.

678
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: Wait what you still have like your whole army? What

679
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: do you mean you're defeated? One of the French generals

680
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: fired a bullet into his mouth. Finally, it took a

681
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: British general ironside to essentially grab a French general by

682
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: the front of his coat and say, what are you doing?

683
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: Turn around, we have to counterattack. What are you doing?

684
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: They finally attacked separately and understand this. The French then

685
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: went and fought valiantly, at least the troops on the ground.

686
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: We're talking to the last man. You know that famous

687
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: story of Dunkirk. Everybody knows that, right where the Brits

688
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: were trying to escape after the fall of France, and

689
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: they end up in Dunkirk and the Germans are closing

690
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: in and the English have to send all these fishing

691
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: boats across the channel to evacuate all their dudes. Everybody

692
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: knows the Dunkirk story. Do you know why there even

693
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: was an option for Britain to escape? It's because the French,

694
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: the ones we laugh at the white flag, lose their

695
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: French They were dying to the last man against the Germans,

696
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: but they had no leadership. The leadership that they did have,

697
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 1: they didn't have any will left. They couldn't bear the

698
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: thought and the wave of it in the face of

699
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: an onslaught like that. They couldn't even stand up and

700
00:51:52,560 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: entertain another World War One? And what's the lesson from that? Uh?

701
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm about to save you some money and improve your life.

702
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 1: I know that sounds a little bit extreme, but listen

703
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: to me. You are a better you when you sleep,

704
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: and you are a disaster when you don't sleep. How

705
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: do I know that, because that's my story. I know

706
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: exactly what it's like when I don't sleep. I'm not

707
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: sharp on the radio. I can't form thoughts, I can't

708
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: form sentences. Shoot, I'm mean, I'm short, dempered with people,

709
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be that guy. As soon

710
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: as I'm done being that guy, I think to myself,

711
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: I gotta get some more sleep. And that's why I'm

719
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: France didn't lay down in World War Two. The French

720
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: troops were there, the equipment was there. France knew it

721
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: was coming. France, by every account, by every metric, should

722
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: have blown Germany off the map, especially France and Britain combined.

723
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 1: It was a Frankly, we don't talk about it because

724
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: it was victorious. It was an idiotic military decision by Hitler,

725
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: but they did it. They pulled it off. And now,

726
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: because we look at everything the way we look at it,

727
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: we look at the French as a bunch of surrender monkeys,

728
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: as weak French. No, what France was was rotten at

729
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: the top. French troops were great, as let's be honest,

730
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: as they have been for centuries. The French troops were valiant.

731
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: French troops were amazing. The French were led by people.

732
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm actually not going to be insulting to them. You

733
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 1: could call them, you know, cowards or weak or anything

734
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: like that. It's not that. The truth is France was

735
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: led by men who had been destroyed on the inside

736
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: by World War One. It's all there is to it.

737
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: The country itself. It couldn't bear to hurt any more

738
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: landmarks in France. It couldn't bear the thought of going

739
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: on the aggressive. Fresh should have attacked Germany after it,

740
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: after Germany invaded Poland. By all accounts, they should have

741
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: attacked Germany. They probably would have stormed right in. Did

742
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: you know when Germany was beaten the crap out of

743
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: Poland that they had almost nobody behind it between them

744
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: and France. France gold have taken that sweet army and

745
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: just marched on to Berlin. Game over, War over. France

746
00:55:52,200 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: couldn't bear the thought of a North another World War One.

747
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: And that isn't explained by just the one month Battle

748
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: of France. When you have that kind of institutional rot

749
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: at the top, you want to do things like explain

750
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: it away like we've always done, Oh the week. That

751
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: takes time. It takes experiences, plural over and over and

752
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: over again, to rot out your general staff like that,

753
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: to rot out your leadership like that. You see, I've

754
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: been absolutely slammed by your emails. The past few days.

755
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Jesse at Jesse

756
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: Kelly show dot com. I've been slammed by these emails

757
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: of Jesse. How did we let this happen? Jesse? What

758
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: do we do? I mean, we got another three million

759
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: unemployed to that. That takes us to thirty six million.

760
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: As you know, I'm not going to beat up over

761
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: it now. That's that real numbers, well over fifty million

762
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: that these lockdowns people. I can't put it nicely for you.

763
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: It's the most disastrous decision in the history of the

764
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: United States of America. There's a reason no nation has

765
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 1: ever done it. Businesses can and will adjust to recessions.

766
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: They'll adjust to pandemics. Even during the Spanish flu, when

767
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: the factories open and people were too scared, about half

768
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: the people would actually show up toward the work to work.

769
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: The other half we're scared, Okay, they marched on. They

770
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: adjust that. They Businesses can adjust to pandemics and recessions

771
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: and wars. When you've told a business close your doors,

772
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: you've given them no option. Why are we seeing employment losses?

773
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: Job losses like we have never seen before. Don't even

774
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: come close to making the comparison to the Great Depression.

775
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: This is so much worse than anything we saw in

776
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: the Great Depression. It's not even close. Because even during

777
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: the Great Depression, during the Spanish Flu, during the Great Recession,

778
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: no government pointed a finger in its own citizens and

779
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: said go home, stop producing because you can't. It's just

780
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: not an option. It is never an option. It's the

781
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: it's the you know those those the movies where the

782
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: bad guy has an evil layer and the good guys

783
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: are finally breaking in and he reaches over and presses

784
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: the self destruct button to make sure he blows everybody up.

785
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: That's what locking down your economy is. You never hit

786
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: that button unless you're walking out the door. You never

787
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: hit that button. And I've had all these people, How

788
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 1: could we do this? How can we let ourselves do this? Jesse?

789
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: How could Congress do this? How could this may or?

790
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: How could Trump? How could the governors? How could the

791
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: American people stand for this? The answer is this took

792
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: time to get the American people, to get the American

793
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: politicians conditioned to do something like this. There isn't an

794
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: easy explanation I can give you of Oh, it's gouts

795
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: to this period This is years, years, decades of Americans

796
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: forgetting what it means to be free, through our education system,

797
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: through our own negligence to the media, whatever you want

798
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: to call it, Americans forgetting what it is to be free,

799
00:59:54,200 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: Americans losing any concept of spending, of what the dollar

800
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: actually means, of debt, of deficits. People scream about it,

801
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: but let's be honest, You and I, the human mind

802
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: can't comprehend what a trillion dollars, trillion dollars is. It's

803
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: a number so big you quite literally cannot comprehend it.

804
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: They just passed a two trillion dollar bill. The money's

805
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: already vanished like a fart in the wind, and hardly

806
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: anybody's even yelling about it two trillion dollars. At any

807
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: other point in the history of the United States of America,

808
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: they'd be marching on the Capitol with pitchforks if you

809
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: passed a two trillion dollars bill of any kind. And

810
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: now we're so weak, unaware, we're so out of touch

811
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: with the reality of life. We're so out of touch

812
01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: with the reality of the hardships of life. Let's be honest,

813
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: do you do you want to know what happens in

814
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 1: a nation that financially collapses. Do you know how bad

815
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: that is? It's oftentimes not sometimes it is oftentimes with

816
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: a complete financial collapse, it is the end of that nation,

817
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,959
Speaker 1: the end of that nation. They just flat up, they'll

818
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: they'll just flat out break up. That's if you're lucky.

819
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: If you're not lucky, some mean to come in and

820
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: conquer you. That's the history of the world. And for

821
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. For a long time we lost that.

822
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: You ask me, what's the answer. Why did we agree

823
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to this? Why did the politicians do it? Why did

824
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: the American people bow down to him for it? People?

825
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: It's a long long list of reasons. True. Is it

826
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: happened when we forgot about who we are? Lockdown? This

827
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: lockdown that what we're Americans. Don't screw yourself. You're not

828
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: locking me down. I'll go up in my business. Come

829
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: try to make me close it. We forgot who we were,

830
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: and it's taken a long time. You don't forget in

831
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: a day. It takes a long long time to get there.

832
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: But here we are, man, here we are hopefully, hopefully

833
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: there are people out there who will come safe us.

834
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: You know, your house smells. Don't get mad. Don't get

01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: indicting you. I'm sure you keep a clean home, but

837
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: just time means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those

838
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: are cooking smells that get in your paint, your carpet,

839
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: maybe the animal smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone

840
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: else was just living creates smells. I didn't realize that

841
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,280
