Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is.
Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is.
Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the
Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to
Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to
Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about
Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.
Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that
Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm
Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who
Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps,
Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from
Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand
Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one
Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems
Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing
Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention
Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten
Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. I want
Speaker 1: you to imagine. So I want you to imagine you're
Speaker 1: in your home and you're going about all the business
Speaker 1: you usually go about in your home. I want you
Speaker 1: to consider everything in your day to day life, whatever
Speaker 1: that consists of morning cup of joe, maybe a little
Speaker 1: breakfast time, maybe the coffee gets the old juices flowing,
Speaker 1: and you gotta hit the head before you head to work, sleeping, napping, reading,
Speaker 1: watching TV, putting together model airplanes, working out what all
Speaker 1: the things you do in your home. And you're going
Speaker 1: through every single minute of your day doing these things.
Speaker 1: Only today is the day where at any moment, at
Speaker 1: any moment, a sixty pounds steel cannon ball could come
Speaker 1: blowing through that house and you have no idea where
Speaker 1: or what it's gonna do when it gets there. One
Speaker 1: of the things you and I can't comprehend because it's
Speaker 1: you can't put yourself in the mind and the feelings
Speaker 1: of another human at another point in time, even even
Speaker 1: when we talk about things like battles, and I know
Speaker 1: I have so many people who are veterans. I've been
Speaker 1: there shooting at me too. I can understand it somewhat,
Speaker 1: but you can't put yourself in the mind of each
Speaker 1: in every person, in every crazy situation throughout history. The
Speaker 1: life of somebody on a naval vessel has always fascinated
Speaker 1: me always. I just I mean, they say combat in
Speaker 1: general is one percent pure terror percent boredom, and having
Speaker 1: been there and done it, I will tell you one
Speaker 1: percent true. You're just trying to keep yourself from going
Speaker 1: crazy from boredom half the time, and the other time
Speaker 1: they're trying to kill you. That has to be magnified
Speaker 1: a thousand times on board a naval vessel, because one
Speaker 1: you're not on land, you're in the water on something
Speaker 1: that floats. If that's something that floats ceases to float,
Speaker 1: you're in a great deal of trouble. That aspect alone
Speaker 1: is It's crazy, isn't it? Would you think about it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris said, imagine the paranoia with the U boats in
Speaker 1: World War Two. It's so true. It's so true. That's
Speaker 1: crazy enough alone. You and I love boats. Everybody in
Speaker 1: general people love boats. I've told you before. I love
Speaker 1: being out on the ocean, and in part because of
Speaker 1: the danger. You look out at all the water. You
Speaker 1: look over the side of the boat and look down.
Speaker 1: What's down there? How deep does it go? How strong
Speaker 1: is the current? Are there sharks under there? But that's
Speaker 1: on a fishing vessel in Florida? What are you thinking
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ocean on a naval boat,
Speaker 1: going into combat, knowing either I am going to go
Speaker 1: down or he is going to go down. And you
Speaker 1: know what, there's actually a chance both of us are
Speaker 1: going down. There's a chance. As I look out and
Speaker 1: look down at that water, if I don't die on
Speaker 1: the ship, I'm going to end my life in that
Speaker 1: water somehow, someway. You remember the story of the ship,
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis. We did. It's that famous World War two story.
Speaker 1: Ship delivers to bomb. I'm not going into it today.
Speaker 1: Ship goes down and the guys spend I think it
Speaker 1: was four or five days in the water, getting eaten
Speaker 1: by sharks, dying of thirst, everything else injured. And you
Speaker 1: remember the horror of that. I mean great, the greatest
Speaker 1: nightmare of all time. But here's the thing. You and
Speaker 1: I only know the story of the Indianapolis because they're
Speaker 1: one of the very very few who got found in time.
Speaker 1: Many many, many many many a sailor throughout the history
Speaker 1: of mankind ended his days exactly like the men on
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis did. You just didn't hear about it because
Speaker 1: they all died first. And that's only part of it.
Speaker 1: Is the water the other part of it when it
Speaker 1: comes to naval warfare and whatever period of time you're
Speaker 1: dealing with. For the most part, I realized pre canon
Speaker 1: it was more ramming of ships and stuff too, which
Speaker 1: is crazy. It's crazy to me. They used to put
Speaker 1: these huge metal spikes on the end of ships, and
Speaker 1: that was the plan. Let's just run into him. This
Speaker 1: is wild to me. But once cannon fire was invented,
Speaker 1: this is another thing that I find crazy about naval battles,
Speaker 1: naval life, your life on a navy ship then and
Speaker 1: now now. Don't get me wrong. It's not the life
Speaker 1: of luxury by any stretch of the imagination, and especially
Speaker 1: back in the day, as we talked about extensively. That's
Speaker 1: hard living. Man, preheat, pre ac stuck in the middle
Speaker 1: of the ocean, that's hard living. You're not exactly sleeping
Speaker 1: in a temper pedict king sized bed. You are working
Speaker 1: your tail off. I mean, it's hard living. However, it's
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot better than me and on
Speaker 1: land at war. When you're in the navy, food may
Speaker 1: not be great. You're eating three squares a day. If
Speaker 1: you're not in the middle of combat, you're almost undoubtedly
Speaker 1: getting plenty of sleep at night. You know, it's life.
Speaker 1: Ain't the end of the world out there until combat time,
Speaker 1: when you would, especially in the era we're about to
Speaker 1: talk about here, combat time, you go from having a
Speaker 1: life that was rough but okay too, you are guaranteed
Speaker 1: to be under point blank artillery fire. That's insane to
Speaker 1: me to think about that level of danger and fear
Speaker 1: that must have been going into your head. Think about
Speaker 1: an eighteen oh five, because that's the time. We're going
Speaker 1: in an eighteen o five sailing vessel, naval vessel, two
Speaker 1: of them, with two, three maybe four rows of cannons
Speaker 1: all sticking out the side. You know, you can picture it,
Speaker 1: seen enough pirate movies to picture what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: coming up within fifty feet of each other and everybody
Speaker 1: firing at the same time. What does that sound like?
Speaker 1: What does it look like? The splinters, the metal flying everywhere.
Speaker 1: That is unimaginable. That level of danger, that is just
Speaker 1: unimaginable to me. So let us rewind and set things
Speaker 1: up before we get to the famous Battle of Trafalgar.
Speaker 1: This is the situation on the ground in eighteen oh five.
Speaker 1: Napoleon is still king dog out there, I should mention
Speaker 1: if that year, that era sounds familiar to you, you
Speaker 1: may be thinking, gosh, this is nagging at me. What's
Speaker 1: happening there? Remember Lewis and Clark? Remember how Lewis and
Speaker 1: Clark began their journey or what kicked off their journey.
Speaker 1: A little thing called the Louisiana Purchase where Thomas Jefferson
Speaker 1: bought the basically the western United States of America and
Speaker 1: bought it from Napoleon who no longer How do you
Speaker 1: use for it? Just give me some cash. Well, that's
Speaker 1: right about this time, isn't it funny? How it all
Speaker 1: overlaps Napoleon fighting this war with some American dollars. This
Speaker 1: is a Jesse Kelly show. I used to sell RVs.
Speaker 1: You know that. I was a sales manager for an
Speaker 1: RV dealership, and a huge part of doing that job
Speaker 1: was dealing with financing, getting people loans for their RVs.
Speaker 1: As somebody who has sold RVs, as somebody who was
Speaker 1: bought and sold several homes, please hear me on this.
Speaker 1: Having a good credit score is everything, absolutely everything, and
Speaker 1: if yours is bad, you need to take steps to
Speaker 1: raise it. Do you know with Scoremaster you can raise
Speaker 1: your credit score. The average at scoremaster is raising your
Speaker 1: credit score sixty one points in twenty days or less.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Go to scoremaster dot com. Slash Jesse that
Speaker 1: scoremaster dot com slash Jesse. Go there today. Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: returns next. Now, remember Louisian I look at that. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's important to our story. I just think
Speaker 1: it's really cool how many things we've talked about on
Speaker 1: the show and how they overlap with other things. Remember
Speaker 1: that Louisiana purchase from Napoleon was eighteen oh three battle
Speaker 1: We're talking about today's eighteen o five, same time period,
Speaker 1: and the current situation in Europe is this Napoleon has
Speaker 1: been slapping everybody around since seventeen ninety three. You see,
Speaker 1: this man is uniquely talented, absurdly talented, gaining victories and
Speaker 1: then using victory used to broaden his coalition. That great
Speaker 1: is out. The man is outstanding on the battlefield. And
Speaker 1: we have this funny way of looking at history because oftentimes,
Speaker 1: you know, things work out in the end, don't they
Speaker 1: Eventually over a long enough timeline, things work out in
Speaker 1: the end. You and I are still sitting here today.
Speaker 1: There we're all right. Every day above ground is a
Speaker 1: good day. Well, you know, that whole Hitler thing. It's
Speaker 1: a great way to think about this and how the
Speaker 1: Allies all came together to defeat this monster who's murdering
Speaker 1: a bunch of people and things like that, that whole
Speaker 1: Hitler thing. You remember, what if the Allies lost not
Speaker 1: just once, but then five ten years later Allies got
Speaker 1: together again. All right, we really got to stop this
Speaker 1: Hitler guy. He's killing all the Jews. Let's go, and
Speaker 1: then lost again. What goes through your mind if you've
Speaker 1: taken on the anti Christ and you lose, not once
Speaker 1: but twice. We don't think about that, do we. It's
Speaker 1: World War two America all by ourselves, stepped up, beat
Speaker 1: those filthy Germans and the Japs. That's America. But that's
Speaker 1: what we like to think about, right, What if the
Speaker 1: Allies lost? It's crazy, However, at eighteen o five, at
Speaker 1: this point, Napoleon is facing not his first, not his second,
Speaker 1: but the third European coalition that's trying to put him down.
Speaker 1: They've already all got together twice and taken on this guy,
Speaker 1: and he's still standing there. Are you feeling like your
Speaker 1: her world is going to end. Britain certainly was because
Speaker 1: they were still standing there taking it. Now, Britain has
Speaker 1: this incredible navy. This is the I mean, this is
Speaker 1: probably the crown jewel of the Royal Navy. We've talked
Speaker 1: so much about this throughout you know my shows. You
Speaker 1: know by now the it's an island nation. They prioritize
Speaker 1: navy absurdly and they're really, really, really good at it.
Speaker 1: It's really funny because Napoleon has no use for it. Now,
Speaker 1: I say no use. He understands very well he has
Speaker 1: to have a navy. He has to have a very
Speaker 1: powerful navy. He wants to have a very powerful navy.
Speaker 1: He just his mind doesn't work that way. He's a
Speaker 1: land army, guys. It's not only that he's annoyed that
Speaker 1: there are places he's outdone and outfoxed, and these stinking
Speaker 1: dirty Brits are blockading his sports. He's not getting the trade.
Speaker 1: It's dry. It's one of these things that drives Napoleon battie.
Speaker 1: He can't handle it. That's how Napoleon's feeling about it.
Speaker 1: I hate these people. I want to destroy these people.
Speaker 1: They had a brief year long in yearlong piece called
Speaker 1: the Piece of Aina in eighteen o two at lasted
Speaker 1: a year and immediately they're fighting again. This is not
Speaker 1: going to work, Napoleon and Britain. They're not going to
Speaker 1: just coexist side by side. It's one of these situations
Speaker 1: that's called how would you say this untenable? About that?
Speaker 1: Chris Boom, look that up. I just heard that word.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure it means exactly what I
Speaker 1: think it means. The situation is untenable. If that word
Speaker 1: means what I think, piece is broken, they're back at
Speaker 1: each other's throats. Now here's how the navies are composed one.
Speaker 1: The French navy is not just the French navy. It's
Speaker 1: the French and the Spanish together. If it sounds like
Speaker 1: France is kind of all over the place in this
Speaker 1: Napoleonic era, it's because they are. They're against them, they're
Speaker 1: for them, they're against them, they're for them, oftentimes not
Speaker 1: by choice. But the Spanish navy in the French Navy
Speaker 1: is one thing, and they are facing off against the
Speaker 1: British navy. Napoleon has one hundred thousand men and he
Speaker 1: wants to land them on England and have them take
Speaker 1: England once and for all. Just get my hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dudes onto the shore so I can finish off these
Speaker 1: pesky Brits who never have much of a land army.
Speaker 1: The problem for Napoleon is, as always when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with Britain, how do I get them there? Pre flight?
Speaker 1: In the era pre flight, you gotta sail them. There's
Speaker 1: the English Channel, you gotta cross it. The English know
Speaker 1: this as well. They have their elite fleet patrolling that channel.
Speaker 1: You ain't just walking them across. And here's the real
Speaker 1: danger if you're Napoleon. It's not losing a naval battle.
Speaker 1: It's losing all the men on the ships. It's one
Speaker 1: thing to have men die randomly in battle, it's another.
Speaker 1: It's quite another to have a hundred thousand men on
Speaker 1: ships that go down to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1: That is a fast, devastating way to lose an entire army.
Speaker 1: You can't risk it. You have got to do something
Speaker 1: to get these dirty Brits out of the way so
Speaker 1: you can sail across the channel and land them on England.
Speaker 1: So here's what Napoleon comes up with. He has a
Speaker 1: man in charge of his fleet called Villeneuve, Villa, Neueve,
Speaker 1: villa Neeve. I've heard it pronounced a thousand different ways.
Speaker 1: I'm going to call him Villaneve today, but that's almost
Speaker 1: undoubtedly wrong. If you're going to email me and tell
Speaker 1: me the correct way, that's fine, but I really don't care.
Speaker 1: He's not an American Chris let see. So you're welcome
Speaker 1: to email me Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com.
Speaker 1: And I should clarify about Villaneve. Villaneve is an extremely
Speaker 1: incapable commander of a fleet. However, to his credit, he
Speaker 1: never claimed to be a great capable commander of a fleet.
Speaker 1: He never claimed to be good at it at all.
Speaker 1: He's just simply the best Napoleon has. Now. I don't
Speaker 1: know about you, but as I was digging into the
Speaker 1: Battle of Trafalgar and I find the British Navy has
Speaker 1: all these elite commanders and the French Navy doesn't have
Speaker 1: squat for elite commanders, I found myself asking why that
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me? Well, maybe you've heard this
Speaker 1: little thing called the French Revolution, so have I. It
Speaker 1: turns out the French Revolution, as you probably already know,
Speaker 1: involved the execution of many of the higher class members
Speaker 1: of British society. We want to put it that way.
Speaker 1: Higher class the aristocracy probably a better way to put it. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Maybe you're one of those people eat the rich.
Speaker 1: I'm not, but that's fine. However, you do pay a
Speaker 1: penalty for things like that. It turns out the commanders,
Speaker 1: most of the commanders, the officers, the people with experience
Speaker 1: in the French naval service who not only command your
Speaker 1: ships but train the next generation of officers to command
Speaker 1: their ships. You chopped their heads off in the French Revolution.
Speaker 1: So Napoleon's putting together a navy and he just doesn't
Speaker 1: have the long seasoned, experienced naval commanders. He has people
Speaker 1: like this idiot Villa Nave, and he's got to figure
Speaker 1: out how to break this blockade. So he has a plan.
Speaker 1: Hang on, you need to have gold in your portfolio.
Speaker 1: You simply do. Because there's absolutely too much uncertainty out there.
Speaker 1: You know what's coming forgetting about the financial bubble, I've
Speaker 1: already talked to you about. You know, we have an
Speaker 1: election coming up, and I'm not gonna drop any names here,
Speaker 1: but if the results of the election go a certain
Speaker 1: way history shows. The stock market reacts. That's putting it mildly.
Speaker 1: The stock market reacts. Get a gold Ira before that happens,
Speaker 1: before election day. And Gold Alliance they make it completely easy.
Speaker 1: They're gonna walk you through every single step start to finish.
Speaker 1: Go to Gold Alliance dot com slash jesse. That's Gold
Speaker 1: Alliance dot com slash jesse. Make sure you're protected from trouble. Well,
Speaker 1: you can't shoot your way past the English right now
Speaker 1: on the high seas. And half the reason you can't
Speaker 1: shoot your way past the English on the high seas
Speaker 1: is they have all your freaking ports blockaded. You need
Speaker 1: to come up with a plan. And the man in
Speaker 1: charge of the British fleet, he is a famous, famous
Speaker 1: human being. He's called Horatio Nelson. We will get back
Speaker 1: to that. That's one of only two names you really
Speaker 1: need to remember today. Villaneve is in charge of the
Speaker 1: French fleet, Horatio Nelson in charge of the British fleet.
Speaker 1: Villaneve and Napoleon come up with an idea. If we
Speaker 1: want to pull this man massive British Navy away from
Speaker 1: where they're guarding the British shores, why don't we head
Speaker 1: over the Caribbean or the Caribbean, however you say it,
Speaker 1: it sounds weird, But the Caribbean is obviously a profitable
Speaker 1: British colony, as you well know by now because you
Speaker 1: listen to my show, and it's not very well defended.
Speaker 1: The Brits have a reason it's not very well defended.
Speaker 1: We can't hardly stock the navy up in the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: We were trying to fight off this short little tyrant
Speaker 1: over here in Europe. The French bust out and they
Speaker 1: head for the Caribbean. Now Here is one of the
Speaker 1: funny things about ancient combat, especially ancient naval combat. Something
Speaker 1: you and I don't really wrap our minds around too
Speaker 1: much because of modern technology, is they didn't leave a
Speaker 1: note with the Brits on the way out of town
Speaker 1: saying we're heading to the Caribbean. The Brits see the
Speaker 1: French breakout and Nelson. Nelson doesn't have any idea where
Speaker 1: they went. He thinks they might have gone to the Indies.
Speaker 1: He thinks they might have gone to Egypt. In fact,
Speaker 1: he heads to Egypt first. Egypt is absurdly profitable. Trade
Speaker 1: routes need to stay open. Nelson's all maybe they went
Speaker 1: down there. He finally figures out they're on the way
Speaker 1: across the ocean, takes off after them, and it's just
Speaker 1: this long, brutally slow naval plotting thing. However, they don't
Speaker 1: pull enough guys out to actually open up the English Channel.
Speaker 1: These Brits are not stupid. Yeah, I don't think we'll
Speaker 1: be sending the whole fleet over there. No. Napoleon, now frustrated,
Speaker 1: very very frustrated, decides he's going to abandon the Asian
Speaker 1: of Britain and he's just going to take this huge
Speaker 1: army and he's going to move them to Austria and Russia. Instead.
Speaker 1: Fleet makes its way back over to Europe and now
Speaker 1: they see each other. And here's one of the things
Speaker 1: I want you to understand. Horatio Nelson is in charge
Speaker 1: of the British fleet. The British ships at this time
Speaker 1: they were made for a fist fight. They were short
Speaker 1: and squat and strong, built like tanks. They're built to
Speaker 1: blockade in your people, because I know if you want out,
Speaker 1: you've got to come but right up against me and
Speaker 1: we'll have a good old fashioned fist fight. That French
Speaker 1: ships and I mean they're French and Spanish. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna call him Friendships are long and fast with sales.
Speaker 1: They can move, really, really move. It's one of these
Speaker 1: real I mean, people love this battle because it's such
Speaker 1: a prize fighter thing. It's such a you know, it's
Speaker 1: a Muhammad Ali dancing around the ring, light on his
Speaker 1: feet versus Joe Frazier. He wants to get right up
Speaker 1: in your face and left hook your jaw into outer space.
Speaker 1: You need to think of the Brits like Joe Frasier,
Speaker 1: the French like Ali, except the French don't have a
Speaker 1: commander like Muhammad Ali's brain. They have Villaneve. The Brits, however,
Speaker 1: they have this Nelson, and Nelson knows exactly what he
Speaker 1: wants to do. Nelson wants to slam into this French
Speaker 1: column in the center of it and the rear of it,
Speaker 1: essentially cutting them off from the front of it. That's
Speaker 1: what he wants to do, and he wants to and
Speaker 1: I've got to try to explaining this to you. It's
Speaker 1: going to be easy. Bear with me. He wants to
Speaker 1: cross the tea of the French. And this is what
Speaker 1: I mean by crossing the tea. When ships sail, whether civilian,
Speaker 1: naval or otherwise. In general, you need to think of
Speaker 1: them as sailing in a line. Now they spread out
Speaker 1: a little, but they're sailing in one long line. There's
Speaker 1: a line of ships, all right. That's the vertical part
Speaker 1: of the tea. What you want to do and what
Speaker 1: they want to do to you a naval warfare, it's
Speaker 1: become the top part of the tea. You want to
Speaker 1: cross their tea, which will allow you, if you picture it,
Speaker 1: you can use the broadside where all your cannons are,
Speaker 1: all your broadside guns to shoot at all their ships.
Speaker 1: They can hardly use any of their guns to shoot
Speaker 1: at you at all, maybe a few guns up front.
Speaker 1: Your rear guns are completely useless as somebody has crossed
Speaker 1: your tea. And what's wild is this did not change
Speaker 1: once we left the era of sail into eras like
Speaker 1: World War One. They're still crossing the tea period trying
Speaker 1: to cross his tea. Naval warfare it can get boring, almost,
Speaker 1: but it's really all about maneuvering. I mean, so much
Speaker 1: of it's about maneuvering. And when I say maneuvering, think
Speaker 1: of the vast ocean distances. Now imagine that in nothing
Speaker 1: but sail, nothing but sail driven ships. And you're going
Speaker 1: at two miles an hour. You know you walk at
Speaker 1: three or four right unless you're a hobbit two miles
Speaker 1: an hour. Think about that. Think how grindingly slow that is.
Speaker 1: And this is what's wild in this era and the
Speaker 1: era of cannon before the huge naval guns. You can
Speaker 1: picture now not only can you see each other, you
Speaker 1: can see each other a long, long, long time before
Speaker 1: you're actually fighting. You're gonna wake up in the morning
Speaker 1: and look across the ocean and see the French navy there.
Speaker 1: You're going to try to maneuver yourself in position and
Speaker 1: fight them and all these other things. It might be
Speaker 1: dinner time before the first cannon shot. How are your
Speaker 1: nerves doing for seven or eight hours as you await
Speaker 1: getting your artillery blown? Imagine that. I just can't wrap
Speaker 1: my mind around that. Now. Horatio Nelson knows what he's doing,
Speaker 1: as I said, Villeneuve does not. Horatio Nelson wants to
Speaker 1: cross their tea in two different places, like I said,
Speaker 1: two different columns. One of his columns, his second column,
Speaker 1: it's going to if he angles it right, crossed the
Speaker 1: tea in the British rear Horatio Nelson's column. To his credit,
Speaker 1: he's smashing right into the center of this thing. And
Speaker 1: when I say him, I mean him personally with his
Speaker 1: other ships. I think that's so freaking cool. Could easily
Speaker 1: have held back. He stayed back in the flagship. I'll
Speaker 1: get some orders from there. Just doing good, guys, keep
Speaker 1: it up. Oh that look like it hurt. I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: I'm back here sipping brandy and staring at maps. Not
Speaker 1: not Horatio Nelson. Horatio Nelson sends you guys in. He's
Speaker 1: going in, and he was. I mean, he was basically
Speaker 1: born for this. His father was a captain, grew up
Speaker 1: on naval vessels, and you know how that goes. Born
Speaker 1: for this. He'd forgotten more about commanding naval vessels than
Speaker 1: than Villeneuve. Whatever. No, in the plan, it works to perfection.
Speaker 1: They slam into the ships in two different places, and
Speaker 1: we need to discuss the cannon fire here for just
Speaker 1: a moment. Truth attitude, Jesse Kelly, you know you're going
Speaker 1: to have some card trouble, right. I am not wishing
Speaker 1: it on you, believe me. I'm not. It's just it's
Speaker 1: always going to happen. At some point you're going to
Speaker 1: have car trouble. They don't make them that lasts forever.
Speaker 1: And when you have card trouble, gosh, those bills what
Speaker 1: it costs to get one fixed is just staggering. Go
Speaker 1: to Carshield dot com. Check out their wide range of
Speaker 1: protection plans because they can save you thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: for covered repairs. There's a reason they're America's number one
Speaker 1: auto protection company. And they even give you the freedom
Speaker 1: you choose your favorite mechanic or dealership. They're not one
Speaker 1: of these protection plan companies. Oh you have to go
Speaker 1: to Jack over fifty miles away. No, you can pick
Speaker 1: go to Carshield dot com. That'scarshield dot com. Do not
Speaker 1: forget to use the code Jesse, and remember a deductible
Speaker 1: may apply. This is a Jesse Kelly show Nelson. Now,
Speaker 1: this part's going to get controversial, so before I get there,
Speaker 1: let's set up the cannon part. Cannonballs aren't all cannon balls.
Speaker 1: The movies make that way simpler than it actually was.
Speaker 1: One even in this era, understand that cannons on ships
Speaker 1: were way bigger than cannons on land because you can't
Speaker 1: move a heavy, heavy, heavy cannon on land. On a ship,
Speaker 1: you can carry around a heavy cannon on land. Your
Speaker 1: cannonball shooting ten twelve pound cannonballs on the ship fifty
Speaker 1: pound cannonballs. That's sixty pound cannonballs. Thirty I mean that
Speaker 1: is huge when you consider what thirty pounds is. If
Speaker 1: you have dumbbells in your house, pick up, pick up
Speaker 1: a thirty pounder, form that into a metal ball and
Speaker 1: fire it into the house next door out of a cannon.
Speaker 1: It is absurd. And when you think about when you
Speaker 1: think about the damage that does on the other end
Speaker 1: to a human being, it's gruesome. Horatio Nelson at this point,
Speaker 1: as he's the commander of the British troops, is missing
Speaker 1: an eye and an arm in his life from previous
Speaker 1: naval battles. You go into one of these naval battles
Speaker 1: enough times you're coming out of it dead or missing
Speaker 1: vital parts of your anatomy when you're throwing metal through
Speaker 1: the air like that at that range. But again, it's
Speaker 1: not just the balls. Please be mature, Chris, Please be mature.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to please. It's they had a thing called
Speaker 1: chain shot. Chain shot is two smaller balls. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do this if you keep this up, please,
Speaker 1: two smaller balls held together by an iron rod or
Speaker 1: a chain, and they would shoot that at the sails,
Speaker 1: at the masts. When you think about what that would
Speaker 1: do when shot out of a cannon, what they're trying
Speaker 1: to do is shoot down your sails so you can't
Speaker 1: move anymore trying to hit It's the best way I
Speaker 1: can put this. The huge stick that sticks out of
Speaker 1: your ship with the sails on it, that's what they're
Speaker 1: trying to hit with the chain shot. Essentially it turns
Speaker 1: into a flying chain saw. And they have anti personnel
Speaker 1: ones where they just fill it up with wee little
Speaker 1: balls that essentially make it gigantic buckshot. Picture you and
Speaker 1: your ten buddies trying to operate a cannon on the
Speaker 1: deck of a ship, and the opposing cannon fifty feet
Speaker 1: away opens up full of deck shot. How's your buddy
Speaker 1: look now? Nelson slams into the middle, just like he
Speaker 1: said he would, and those short squat British ships start
Speaker 1: simply pummeling these French and Spanish ships to dust. The
Speaker 1: French and Spanish initially are making a real good show
Speaker 1: of it. But they're being outgunned. And part of the
Speaker 1: reason you're they're being outgunned is they got their tea
Speaker 1: crossed one two. The French navy, the vanguard, the guys
Speaker 1: at the head of it, they're not involved in the
Speaker 1: fighting right because they're out ahead. He claims it was
Speaker 1: the winds, and what doot. He doesn't really turn around
Speaker 1: and come back. He just keeps on a sailing and
Speaker 1: it was a real point of disgrace after that. But
Speaker 1: the Brits start blowing the French out of the water,
Speaker 1: blowing them out of the water. The final casualties at
Speaker 1: the end of the Battle of Trafalgar were like twelve
Speaker 1: hundred for the British and six seven thousand for the
Speaker 1: French and the Spanish. They're just shattering these ships. But
Speaker 1: at one point in time, the big man goes down.
Speaker 1: You see the French. They were very capable marksmen. Again,
Speaker 1: this was an excellent excellent, I mean, the most powerful
Speaker 1: land force on Earth by a long shot at this time.
Speaker 1: They had marksmen trained. One of them sets his sights
Speaker 1: on mister Horatio Nelson himself fires a bullet. It was
Speaker 1: just a musketball, but I'm gonna call it. A bullet
Speaker 1: fires a musketball boom slices through Nelson's spine and into
Speaker 1: one of his lungs. Nelson is in horrible pain, still
Speaker 1: trying to put on a brave face, gets carried down below,
Speaker 1: where he slowly drowns in his own blood and lung fluid.
Speaker 1: But get this, this is the part of the story.
Speaker 1: I love. As we get ready to wrap this thing
Speaker 1: up here, Nelson as he's dying there, dying around all
Speaker 1: that blood and noise and carnage and cannon fire and
Speaker 1: dying ugly. I mean, drowning is not a fun way
Speaker 1: to go, let alone, drowning in your own lung fluid
Speaker 1: without the use of your legs. You know what Nelson's
Speaker 1: last words were, thank God, I've done my duty. Gosh,
Speaker 1: that is awesome. You need to protect your home title.
Speaker 1: I know that's not something you think about, and I'll
Speaker 1: be frank with you. Until this happened to me, it's
Speaker 1: not something I ever thought about. But home title theft
Speaker 1: is the cybercrimes sweeping the United States of America right now,
Speaker 1: and it is cleaning people out, absolutely cleaning people out
Speaker 1: because they steal your home title, they ford your signature
Speaker 1: on it, they take a loan out against it, and
Speaker 1: you have to pay that loan back. If you don't,
Speaker 1: they'll evict you from your home. That's real. That's happening
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. And unless you have
Speaker 1: home title Lock, you can't stop them. But home title
Speaker 1: Lock will stop them. Go to hometitle lock dot com

Speaker 1: this was not the end of Napoleon. He went on
Speaker 1: and fought for quite a while after this. But here
Speaker 1: is a fact of life, a fact you and I
Speaker 1: have got to accept. And it's hard to wrap your
Speaker 1: mind around. You've had it so safe and so nice
Speaker 1: as a country for so long for a lot of reasons, economically, militarily, geographically,
Speaker 1: which is we're very well set up here. But it
Speaker 1: is a fact of life. Real, real danger is coming
Speaker 1: to our shores one day. That's not a guess, it's
Speaker 1: a fact. Because history tells itself. I don't know from who,
Speaker 1: from where, it's a fact. When that day come, how
Speaker 1: many Horatio Nelsons do we have left? They need to
Speaker 1: talk about that. Hang on, Jesse Kelly returns next. You
Speaker 1: know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad
Speaker 1: in my house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time
Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking
Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their
Speaker 1: animal smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was
Speaker 1: just living creates smells. I didn't realize that my home
Speaker 1: had a smell l to it until I got my
Speaker 1: first Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever
Speaker 1: owned in my life. This thing. I had it plugged
Speaker 1: in for two hours. I came back in the room
Speaker 1: and my air smelled so clean. I now owned three
Speaker 1: of them. I'm not making that up. This thing has
