1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: in my life.

I now owned three of them. 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: me on top of what it's done from my allergies. 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: Go get one, get two, you like me, and get three. 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Go to Eden Pure deals dot com.

This is a Jesse Kelly show. Some things 20 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: are hard to accept. Let's rewind a bit and go 21 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: back to World War one. And let's go to nineteen 22 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: seventeen of World War One, and I realized, everybody's not 23 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: a World War One freak, like I am. What does 24 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: that mean? Nineteen seventeen. Here's what it means. It means 25 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: the beginning of the war was nineteen fourteen. Then there 26 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: was the brutal Western Front slog of nineteen fifteen. You 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: had huge, huge battles through fifteen and sixteen of the 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Psalm and verdone and battles we've done before in the show, 29 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: and battles will do again. Don't worry if you miss them, 30 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: We'll come back and revisit those another time. But here's 31 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: the status on the ground. We now officially have a 32 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Russian Revolution. The Communists are busy taking over over there. 33 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: France is almost completely broken. France is also in the 34 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: middle of a mutiny, which we have to dwell on 35 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: for just a moment. When I say completely broken, here's 36 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: the deal. They are running out of money, They're running 37 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: out of young men. The numbers on how on the 38 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: percentage of young men from France who took place in 39 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: World War One are staggering. You read them and you 40 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: can't your jaw just sits the ground. It was all 41 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: of them. If you were a young dude, unless there 42 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: was something wrong with you, you you were going to fight, 43 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: maybe die, maybe come back with casualties. They had gone 44 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: through horrible battles like Verdun, which was a French battle, 45 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: and Russia had done something interesting. You see, as you 46 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: and I are learning today, is the reason we always 47 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: look back. The communists don't look around and see anything 48 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: but unconquered lands. Communism was never going to be just 49 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: for Russia. They thought to themselves, we can probably spread 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: this out a little bit, and it got into the 51 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: French army. And here's the thing about communism. And understand, 52 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: it's sold differently to young soft heads today in the 53 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: American system, but it's still the same basic concept. You 54 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: have been wronged. You have been wronged by people in charge. 55 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: You put me in charge. I will hurt those people 56 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: and take what they have and give it to you. 57 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: That's how it's sold every single time. In Russia, where 58 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: there were breadlines, women are starving. It's a disaster. It 59 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: was not difficult to go and say, look at these 60 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: wealthy czars in their palaces with their steak, and you're 61 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: here starving in the breadlines. Elect me, fight with me 62 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: on the communist side. I'll take what they have and 63 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: give it to you and will be equal. Now you 64 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: can rip on that all you want, and so can I. 65 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: You know, I'm the biggest anti communist in the world. 66 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: That's an appealing message when you're starving. That is an 67 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: appealing message when you're starving, and they're not starving. It is. 68 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: It plays on the human mind. Now, it plays on 69 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the worst parts of human nature. I'm not defending it, 70 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: but there's appeal there. There is appeal there. You watching 71 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: your kids go hungry there three hundred pounds because they're 72 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: eating six meals a day. That message is appealing. In 73 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: the French army it was sold like this at the 74 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: time understandably. So remember the World War One saga is 75 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: a tale of a lot of things, but massive leadership failure. 76 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: And I don't want to say disregard for loss of life, 77 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: because that's kind of unfair. At the same time it's 78 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: really fair. The generals, remember, going into this war, had 79 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: never fought a war like this. There had never been 80 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: a war like this in the history of mankind. Very 81 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: rarely can you say there's never been something like this. Well, 82 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: there had never been something like this, this huge, and 83 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: there'd never been a war with this kind of technology before. Well, 84 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: of course, we're gonna get on our horses and do 85 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: a cavalry charge. That's what we've always done. Oh really, 86 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: because two guys in a machine gun nest just took 87 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: out your entire unit. The men and the horses are 88 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: all now laying their dead or die. You're asking generals 89 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: to learn large scale combat and small unit tactics on 90 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: the fly when weaponry had changed so much. Warfare. Sound 91 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: the bugle, son, we're going in. Oh really, here's some 92 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: mustard gas. Have fun clawing out your throat with your horse. 93 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: That was World War One? And the generals in general, 94 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: ha ha, how about that? What, Chris, it's called a 95 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: play on words. Learn it's the generals in general want 96 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: to do something when it comes to combat. And let's 97 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: pause really briefly there for a moment. You obviously want initiative. 98 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: You want somebody who wants to do something. You want 99 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: that out of your armed forces. They obsessed over it. 100 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: In the Marine Corps, much more so than even in 101 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: the army. Aggressive, move forward, always advancing, always, It doesn't 102 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: matter if everything's perfect, You keep going, keep him on 103 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: his heels, speed, aggressive, do something, do something. And every 104 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: general wants to be thought of like Hannibal Barka, like Napoleon, 105 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: go forward, enemy on their heels, like Julius Caesar. You're 106 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: the aggressive general. But pause there for a moment. You know, 107 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: there's that great verse in the Bible, there's a time 108 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,559 Speaker 1: for everything. It's even in the Old Testament. Even Jewish 109 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: producer Chris beliefs in it. There's a time for everything. Sometimes, yes, aggressive, 110 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: move forward, go, Sometimes it's best to just sit and wait. 111 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: But the problem is when it comes to combat, and 112 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: we don't look at World War One and World War 113 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Two this way because we look back at him as 114 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: these gigantic, bloody but glorious struggles where the good man 115 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: came out on top and the bad man low. You know, 116 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: that's how we look at these things. You don't look 117 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: at the huge amount of politics involved, an ambition involved. 118 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: You're a new general or an established general. You're not 119 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: a king. You're a French general, a big shot. You're 120 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: not some god king. You are subject to the whims 121 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: of the politicians and over top of you. And you 122 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: know what's very, very difficult to go to La Politician. 123 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: You want to know what it is, I'll tell you 124 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: what it is. And trying to be less white. Hang 125 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: on the Jesse Kelly Show. You make some promises to 126 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: yourself when you're sitting beside a hospital bed with one 127 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: of your loved ones laying there with tubes coming out 128 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: of them, with heart problems. The truth is, heart problems 129 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: run in my family. Blood pressure problems run in my family. 130 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: I have to do certain things to take care of 131 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: my heart. One of the things, in fact, the easiest 132 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: thing I do to take care of my heart is 133 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: eat two super beats Heart Choose every single day. They 134 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: can bind non GMO beats with a powerful new ingredient, 135 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: great seed extract.

But I'm 144 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: on Facebook too. Remember I'm on locals. I can't be 145 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: kicked off on locals, don't worry about that.

But yeah, that's 150 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: pretty cool, trying to be less white. This Coca Cola's 151 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: story is so insane. The whole world's gone crazy. Gosh, 152 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: all right, generals, you know, it's really hard for a 153 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: general to do. Politician calls a general in, Hey, General, 154 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: what's uh, what's the plan today? What's what do we do? 155 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: We're in a we're in a bit of a pickle here, 156 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: in a bit of a world war. What are you 157 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: gonna do? Very very very difficult for a general to 158 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: say nothing. We're just gonna wait. You see, we have 159 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: we have advantages on on supplies and things like that. 160 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: We have an advantages they don't have. Plus we're just 161 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: throwing away men's lives, and these men's eyes are really important. 162 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: We can win the war. I understand I have to 163 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: do that, but really, the best thing we can do 164 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: to win the war. Let's just sit right here. They're 165 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: gonna run out of food and stuff before we do, 166 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: and then we'll win. See you, you're sitting here saying 167 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: to yourself, well, yeah, that makes sense. Why can't you 168 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: have that conversation? Generals don't have that conversation ever. Ever, 169 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Uh, we are, We're gonna 170 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: we'll do a big attack. Well, we'll do an attack. 171 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: I have a great idea. This will change everything. And 172 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: it did. It kept losing lives for no reason at all. 173 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: There was a gigantic French offensive called the Nouvelle Offensive. 174 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Robert Nouvelle was the new big cheese in the French army. Yeah, 175 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: he got sacks pretty soon because the new vel offensive 176 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: ones once again throwing a bunch of brave frenchmen against 177 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: German dug in dug in lines, and they're dying. And 178 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: now you have a French mutiny. Now, the French mutiny 179 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: was not everybody throwing down their rifles and going home. 180 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: The French mutiny was a bunch of dudes that said, oh, 181 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to leave the trench. I'm here, I'm 182 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: not attacking anymore. That's the last time I'm ever doing that. 183 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: And don't look down on these guys for that. These 184 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: are some of the bravest dudes you've ever lived, and 185 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: they've gone through everything, and at some point in time 186 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: you're tired of watching your buddies die for nothing. Nothing. 187 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: The French army didn't even crack down too hard. Yes 188 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: they executed some people, they arrested some people, but the 189 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: French army backed off and started giving them better food 190 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: and better stuff. They realized, yeah, we have to do 191 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: something different here. So which brings us to a place 192 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: called Ipra. There had already been two battles there. It 193 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: starts with a why don't bother looking it up? But 194 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: I often wonder if this is the worst of the 195 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: World War One battles, And there are so many terrible ones, 196 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: but this one's called it's known as Passiondale or the 197 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: third Battle of Epra. And here was the situation. It 198 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: was flat reclaimed marshlands. The British want to do an 199 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: offensive of their own, just like the latest French offensive. 200 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: They want to go after them. Why do the British 201 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: want to do an offensive, well one because of just 202 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: what we talked about you want to do something if 203 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: you're a general. But two, Germany had really picked up 204 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: its unrestricted submarine warfare game and that was becoming a 205 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: real problem for Britain. If you just to recap what 206 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: that is, that is exactly what it sounds like. We 207 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: have submarines, were Germany. We don't have a navy that 208 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: can compete with Britain's on the surface of the water. 209 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Our subs aren't going to compete with British warships. What 210 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: our subs can do, though, is sink every single vessel 211 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: merchant vessel going into Britain, and there were many of 212 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: them supplying Britain with the food and things like that. 213 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: It's civilians and its army needed. Germany said, well, Britain's 214 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: had a blockade on our country for a long time. 215 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: Our people are now on turn up diets. I think 216 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: we can go ahead and starve Britain too, And they 217 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: were doing it and it was extremely effective. Now, when 218 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: things like that are happening, the British politicians are going 219 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: to bring in the British generals and say what are 220 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: you gonna do, And just like we talked about, you 221 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: can't in that moment say, oh, nothing, I think they'll 222 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: starve before we do. No, no, no, no no, no, no, 223 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, doesn't work that way. They decide they're 224 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: going to do an offensive, and they're going to do 225 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: an offensive in a place the Germans have dug in, 226 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: like you can't even imagine what I mean by duggan. Well, 227 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: how about nine layers nine layers of defense. The Germans 228 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: had had layers on top of layers. And the Germans 229 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: are so I mean, they're German, they're so good at 230 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: this stuff. Anyway, they had they had layers with wallpaper 231 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: and carpeting in it, electricity, right, don't we're not talking 232 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: about the trenches you're picturing in nineteen fifteen, where you're 233 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: laying in a muddy puddle with a rat peeing on 234 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: your chest. This is nice. The Germans are fortifying everything 235 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: with concrete. The Germans. Here's how far the Germans going. 236 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: I've seen pictures and videos of these. You can still 237 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: go see them online. The Chairmans, because they were aware 238 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: of how horrible this war was and how much it 239 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: was destroying the human psyche of all the men who 240 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: fought it, they would build a mini village behind the 241 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: front line that was supposed to be an exact replica 242 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: of something the German troops would see at home. They 243 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: would build a little shop where you could go in 244 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: and drink wine and write letters. They would build a 245 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: little home that looked like German homes, with the fireplace 246 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: and books in it, so you could when it was 247 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: your time to rotate out of the lines, you would 248 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: get to quote, go back home for a couple days. 249 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: That's that's how intense the Germans were. The British, however, 250 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: had a plan, and the plan was simply this one. 251 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: They were going to try to work around the weather 252 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: and attack in August. Remember I said, this is reclaimed marshlands. 253 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: It's flat, the water table is absurdly high. And they knew. 254 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: They studied eighty years of weather, eighty years of weather 255 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: to figure out the rains aren't going to come till 256 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: after August. Oh they're gonna come in after August, but 257 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: not till after August. There may be laid August. Well, whoops. 258 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: That turned out to be wrong, and they had another 259 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: part of their plan. The British had and this is 260 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna do an entire show on 261 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: this May. I might do it this week. I should 262 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: do an entire show on this. I just thought of this. 263 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: The British had tunnels. When I say tunnels, I mean 264 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: this the nineteen fifteen before this, a couple of years 265 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: before this, Britain started recruiting miners into their army. To 266 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: what purpose. They were going to dig down and then 267 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: dig tunnels underneath the German lines. Tunnels where they could 268 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: go down and listen. Tunnels where they could tunnel under 269 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: the German lines and pile up explosives. They were digging 270 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: tunnels underneath this Epra area, Passiondale area for two years, 271 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: stacking in explosives. But the thing is the Germans knew 272 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: about these tunnels, and the Germans would dig counter tunnels. 273 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: They would dig tunnels parallel to the British ones. They 274 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: would dig tunnels above them, tunnels below them. They're listening 275 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: to each other in the tunnels, and and this is 276 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: why I need to do a show on this. You know, 277 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm definitely doing one. There were times several times where 278 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: they would break through into each other's tunnels in near 279 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: pitch black, and sometimes the Landers would go out and 280 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: it would be in pitch black and have a bayonet 281 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: fight or a knife fight with each other in the tunnels. 282 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. Is that not the most 283 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: horrific thing you've ever seen in your life? The PTSD 284 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: from after that was it was breaking to people. You 285 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: can image you don't walk away from that the same way. 286 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: But Britain had a plan for these tunnels under Epril. 287 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: You know what that plan was. It's really cool, I'll 288 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: tell you in a second.

I'll go over that in a minute, all right, 311 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: but first let's try to wrap this thing up here. 312 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: At the Passion Deal, the British had been digging this 313 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: tunnel and they get the idea for yet another massive 314 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: offensive throwing themselves against these German defensives that are just awesome, 315 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: absolutely awesome. This tunnel they had been digging, they had 316 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: been stacking explosives under it. And I don't mean a 317 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: stick of dynamite. I mean they had dug a tunnel 318 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: underneath really a hilltop where the Germans were dug in, 319 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: and they had been stacking tons and tons and tons 320 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: and tons of explosives underneath it. And they set it off. 321 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: How big was the explosion well up to that point? Actually, 322 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: I think possibly still today. I don't quote me on that. 323 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: I think this still holds up today. It's the largest 324 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: non nuclear explosion in the history of mankind. They were 325 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: supposed to have been able to feel it two hundred 326 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: miles away. They incinerated the hilltop. Ten thousand Germans, ten 327 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: thousand died, instantly vaporized. Chris, it's like the pictures of 328 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: it right now, his mouth is just gone. It just 329 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: they I mean, how cool is that? Two years to 330 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: dig a trench filled up with the explosives, they blow 331 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: it off, and then they fire four point two million 332 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: shells at the Germans trying to finish blowing them off 333 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: the line. No, I want you to understand something about 334 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: the Germans too. It wasn't just it wasn't just unrestricted 335 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: sub warfare that had really gotten the other side angry, 336 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: thinking they're fighting unfair, thinking they're doing German things. You know, 337 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: the Germans. Everybody knows. World War one's famous for gas. 338 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: The Germans would use gas, mustard gas and things like that. 339 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: The Germans. Part of the thing that gets Germans in 340 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: trouble a lot throughout history. Is not just that they 341 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: can be a bit brutal, it's that they're good at it. 342 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Remember, the real difference between Nazis and 343 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: isis the Nazis were better at it. Isis is just 344 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: as evil as Nazi Germany, by the grace of God, 345 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: never got that kind of control, so couldn't spread that 346 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: kind of mass carnage. The Germans were good at it. 347 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: If you want to if you want to exterminate six 348 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: million Jews, let's just say you're the Antichrist, then you 349 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: want to exterminate six million Jews, I really would like it. 350 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: If that's a dumb person who wants to exterminate six 351 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: million Jews. What I don't want is an efficient German 352 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: who comes up with a way to get it done 353 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: really quickly. That's the problem you want, And I want 354 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: our enemies stupid, that's what we want. We want our 355 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: enemies dumb and incapable. The Germans, they weren't just gassing you. 356 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: They had come up with something new and had recently 357 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: used it. This was called blue Cross gas. It doesn't 358 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: sound bad, right, blue Cross gas. Do you know what 359 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: blue Cross gas was? Well, you see the other side 360 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: the French and the British had obviously started issuing gas 361 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: masks in response to German gassing. And if you're a German, 362 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna look at that and think to yourself, Wow, 363 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: that sucks. Maybe we should find a way to get 364 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: the gas masks off of them. Blue Cross gas. The 365 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: Germans would fire it at the British or French. It 366 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: would cause such itching, such like supposedly you would want 367 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: to peel your skin off. Guys would scratch themselves bloody. 368 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: It would cause such itching and irritation that it would 369 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: force guys to rip their gas masks off, at which 370 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: point in time when they witnessed enough of them doing it, 371 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: then they would fire the Mustard gas to kill them all. 372 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: Like I said, ugly efficient, ugly good at it. So 373 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: that's the kind of anger we have built up in 374 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: the Allies. But the British they fire four point two 375 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: million shells, and then they do the big charge, the 376 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: big offensive, and it's initially so successful. You know, you 377 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: get a day or two where they're pushing them back, 378 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: but then it stalls, as it always stalls, because the 379 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: German defenses are so dug in at Passiondale and I 380 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: want you to understand what comes next. Yes, the rain 381 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: comes next, but it was rain in a flat area 382 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: that already had a high water table. The rains start 383 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: to fall, they start to fall early, they start to 384 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: fall heavy, and an entire area starts to we're talking 385 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: to twenty five kilometer long front starts to drown in mud. 386 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: At one time, everybody's drowning in mud. There were men 387 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: who fought at Passiondale, who had fought at the other 388 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: major battles of World War One, and they said Passiondale 389 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: was worse than all of them. Because now I want 390 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: you to understand four point two million artillery shells. What's 391 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: that going to do to the ground. Craters in the ground, 392 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: craters now full of mud. Craters you can't see because 393 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: the mud covers it up. So you're just walking along 394 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: and you fall into the mud. We now have guns, 395 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: entire artillery guns sinking into the mud. We have horses. 396 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: Remember how important horses world World War One? And the 397 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: men loved them. Horses, horse as a personality like a dog. 398 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: Horses sinking into the mud and drowning. You know that 399 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: seen from Never Ending story whereas horse is drowning. If 400 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: you've never seen it. I guess it's a kid's show, 401 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: but it could be a bit traumatic because I'm getting 402 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: a little choked up as we speak on No, I'm not, 403 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: but I'm serious. It's sad. Horse is drowning in the mud. 404 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: Men experience that all across the battle. But wait, there's more. 405 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: It had stalled, the rain came. What happens in battle, 406 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: Men get shot. But men don't always die right away. 407 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: In fact, the norm is they don't even there's a reason. 408 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: It's always way more wounded than dead. But you're laying there. 409 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: You're laying there waiting for medical attention, someone to come 410 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: patch you up, or pick you up and carry you out. 411 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: Oftentimes these injuries are so debilitating you can't get up 412 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: and move on your own. Now, I want you to 413 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: imagine running across the battlefield, maybe getting shot in the leg. 414 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: You're going down there. It's not the end of the world. 415 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: You can't move, your leg is shattered. You're just gonna 416 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: wait until nightfall. That's when they would go out and 417 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: retrieve the wounded most of the time to keep from 418 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: getting shot. And as you lay there, unable to move, 419 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: the mud starts to raise around you and starts to 420 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: consume you, and eventually you drown in it. They drown 421 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: in the mud all over this place, and the battle 422 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: keeps going. And now you have horses drowning in the mud, 423 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: men drowning in the mud. If you look at pictures 424 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: of the battle, you'll see undoubtedly boards, platform boards set 425 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: down everywhere. They had to set down boards and create 426 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: paths across the mud. There's a famous story out there 427 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: about one guy drowning in the mud. For over the 428 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: course of two days, they couldn't get him out. They 429 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: kept trying to pull him out, but you would go 430 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: in yourself and the mud would suck you down. And 431 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: finally the guy starts begging. Only his head is out 432 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: of the mud. Now imagine two days of slowly drining 433 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: in the mud, and eventually his head's out and he's 434 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: begging his buddies to shoot him. That's a moment that 435 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 1: never ever, ever leaves, ever leaves. That is what it 436 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: was like. And now you have a sea of mud, 437 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: a sea of craters, a sea of dead horses, a 438 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: sea of dead men in the rain and soaking mud, 439 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: and it starts to stink. So many of the guys 440 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: at Passion Deal talked about how bad it's stunk, what 441 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: the horrible odor was of all this dead, decaying horses 442 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: and men. And you know, there's something really really hard 443 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: to accept as this battle stalls out and they lose 444 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: a bunch more men unnecessarily. You know what the thing 445 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: that's hard to accept is it's for you and I too. 446 00:30:51,720 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you in a second.

It's really hard to just 479 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: accept this is going to take a while, and there 480 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: aren't going to be big victories that seal the deal 481 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: right now. My email inbox is constantly full of people 482 00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: feeling like I'm feeling, feeling like what we're facing culturally 483 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: right now is insurmountable. It feels so big, there's so 484 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: much wrong. It's such a disaster. The culture is completely God. 485 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: We don't have education system anymore, we don't have a media, 486 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: we don't have Hollywood. The entire Democratic party's gone. Half 487 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: the Republican Party's gone. We don't even have sports, we 488 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: don't have any They took it all, and it feels overwhelming. 489 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: Hold on what we have. The battle before you and me. One, 490 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a while. Two. You and I, no 491 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: matter how old you are, you and I are never 492 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: ever ever going to see final victory in this battle 493 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 1: in our lifetimes. That's simply not the way it works. 494 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: It's taken a hundred years to get here, It's gonna 495 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: take at least that one we change direction to get back. 496 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: So get that we're never gonna see final victory. So 497 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: if you set that final victory thing aside, it makes 498 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: things easier to understand. And lastly, little victories are good, 499 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: but if we try for too many big ones, we 500 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: can really, really, really hurt our overall, cause in the end, 501 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: sometimes you've got to be the general that says, ah, 502 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think we should do anything today, sir. 503 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: I think the plan should be hold fast and wait, 504 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 1: hold fast and wait. That needs to be the plan. 505 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: But overall, we have to accept this is gonna take 506 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: a while. And that's so hard to accept because it 507 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: is so important and I'm not gonna act like it's not, 508 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: and it matters so much. The stakes are so high, 509 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: and the country, the country seems to be losing it's 510 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: mind all at once. I mean, all this culture war stuff. 511 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: It's happened so fast now, don't get me wrong. It's 512 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: been decades of small victories for them here in small 513 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: victories for them there, until they got into place where 514 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: now they can just institutionalize insanity. But don't lose heart. 515 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: It's going to take a while. It's gonna take a while. 516 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: Just keep conquering the two inches in front of your face. 517 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is cocoa. Well, here here's the headline. 518 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: It's from the federalist whistleblower. Coca Cola uses anti racist 519 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: training that tells employees to try to be less white. 520 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: Not making this up this is this is real. The 521 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: forty nine minute training video by DeAngelo, the author of 522 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: the book White Fragility, is titled Confronting Racism Right Away. 523 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: The course establishes that all white people are born racist. Quote. 524 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 1: Nothing exempts any white person from forces of racism, says DeAngelo. 525 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: When you accept the reality of your socialization, you can 526 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: begin to examine how you are shaped by it. Understand this. 527 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: This is one of the largest companies in the world 528 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: putting their employees through this continued quote. In the US 529 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel 530 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: that they are inherently superior because they are white. She continues. 531 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: Research shows that by age three to four, children understand 532 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: that it is better to be white. Employees are told 533 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: in the what you can do section to be less white, 534 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be 535 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: less defensive, be less arrogant, more humped. There you had 536 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,240 Speaker 1: to be less argant on there, be more humble. Listen, believe, 537 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: break with apathy, break with white solidarity. This is not 538 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: in your kids gender studies class at that crazy liberal 539 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: university you sent them to.
