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 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. What's the 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: worst day in the history of America? I ever thought 21 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: about that, What's the worst day in the history of America? 22 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: I have one. I have the one. I think it is, 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: but we'll discuss that in a minute. We have the 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: federal government talking about treating domestic extremism as an insurgency 25 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: like they did in Afghanistan. We'll talk about that. Joe 26 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: Biden cleaning house, firing everybody, and why he's exactly right. 27 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: We have more social media censorship and heavy d a 28 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: lot of him today. What Chris, It's gonna be such 29 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: a great day. Eight seven seven three seven seven four 30 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: three seven three eight seven seven three seven seven four 31 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: three seven three. We have new pod, we have new 32 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: reviews of the show. But first we have a lot 33 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: to get to from the eighteen sixties. Eighteen sixty three 34 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: is the year. Let's do a brief Civil War recap 35 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: to bring us up to speed on where we are 36 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: at this time. It's been a couple of years. What 37 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: the war has mainly consisted of is the North attacking 38 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: Southern fortified positions and getting their butts handed to them. 39 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: You know all the talk we've done about War War 40 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: one and how technology had advanced past where all the 41 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: generals knew how to actually fight battles, so it just 42 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: became purely a defensive war. Dig in your trench, here, 43 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: here's a little machine gun. Nest, feel free to charge. 44 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: We know you're gonna charge. Oh look, you're all dead. Well, 45 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: most people will tell you the preview you had of 46 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: World War One was actually the Civil War, and it's 47 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: very much going to apply today. The weapons technology. They 48 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: had better cannons, they had better muskets, if that's even 49 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: what you want to call them. They had. They had better, 50 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: better rifles. By the end of it, they had machine guns. 51 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: It was called a Gatlin gun. They just they had 52 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: these things in the Civil War. But think about the 53 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: generals who are fighting in this thing. They essentially fought 54 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: in the War of eighteen twelve. Not quite, but it's 55 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: about that, right. So that technology wasn't there yet and 56 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: they're finding out the hard way, and I mean the 57 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: hard way. You can't just charge at a dug in army. 58 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: You can't do that. You're going to die. And in 59 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: their defense. You used to be able to do that. 60 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Before the weapons technology had advanced, you could do that. 61 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: Times had changed, Times have changed. I've told you this 62 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: story before, I'm not going to tell it again right 63 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: now about when we went charging. They were teaching us 64 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: urban warfare in the marine Corps and we went charging 65 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: in with practice paint rounds into a building platoon full 66 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: of infantry marines against like four or five guys, and 67 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: got slaughtered. Defense is very, very very easy with the 68 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: weapons technology we have now, and the North was finding 69 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: out the hard way, and they were finding out some 70 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: other things the hard way. They were finding out a 71 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: lot of the best generals they went down and fought 72 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: for the South. Remember we think of it as the 73 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: North versus the South, and that's what it was. But 74 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: prior to the Civil War, it was all just America. 75 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: It was all America's generals, and the South had a 76 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: way of breeding really really good ones, independent thinkers, aggressive, 77 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: really good generals. It's not that there weren't any good 78 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: ones in the North. There certainly were, I mean Sherman's 79 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: legend grant, you know, but there were some great ones 80 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: in the South and the North. By now, they've had 81 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: two years, by eighteen sixty three, they've had two years 82 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: of really taking it on the chin, and you have 83 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: to understand what a shock that was for them. I've 84 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: told you before, the economy in the South, all of 85 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: the South, was one fifth the size of New York 86 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: ninety three percent of the weapons manufactured in the United 87 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: States of America were made in the North. The North 88 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: had more than double the population, about twenty million. The 89 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: South had nine million. But that counts the slaves, which 90 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: don't count because they're not fighting. You can't you can't 91 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: use them if you're the South to fight, because the 92 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: South one of them to stay slaves. And yet all 93 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: this and the North had it brutal in the beginning. 94 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: The South was on the defensive for the most part. 95 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: The war was taking place in the South, and people 96 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: fight differently when they fight on what they consider to 97 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: be their homeland. We've used the example a thousand times. 98 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: It's always applicable. If I stand you on the sidewalk 99 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: with some gigantic, four hundred pound muscle bound maniac and 100 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: two axes in each hand, and he's going to try 101 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: to get by you, and behind you is just a 102 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: pay phone, he's probably going to get by you fairly easily. 103 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: If I put your wife and children behind you, you 104 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: fight a little differently. When you're defending your homeland, you 105 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: fight a little differently. And they were figuring out these 106 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Southerners not laying down for it. Now. Abraham Lincoln is 107 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: in serious, serious political trouble. At this point in time, 108 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: people in the North are wearing down about the war 109 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: because the North is getting its butt kicked. The North 110 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: has taken brutal beatings at places famous places Fredericksburg, bull 111 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Run one, bull Run two, Chancellorsville. They're just losing. And 112 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: the North finally now granted Grant is still sieging Vicksburg, 113 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: but the North, the other Northern armies finally they retreated 114 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: back to the North to regroup, figure out what's going on, 115 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: and their confidence is absolutely shot. And now Robert E. 116 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: Lee chooses to I mean, this is this is going 117 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: to be a difficult show to lay out. Because I 118 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: am a fan of Robert E. Lee. I don't make 119 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: any I don't make any apologies for it. I think 120 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: he was an honorable man. I think for the most part, 121 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: he was a very good general, one of the best 122 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: in the war. In my opinion, Grant was probably better Sherman. 123 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Like I look at the Civil War differently than everybody 124 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: else does. I find the Civil War to be weird 125 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: because it took place so long ago, and yet people 126 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: get so invested in in fighting about it now of 127 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: what was right and what was wrong. We can just 128 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: analyze the good and the bad on every side. I 129 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's difficult to say slavery's really bad, should 130 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: have never come here, wish it hadn't, Glad it ended, 131 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: while also saying people were more loyal to their states 132 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: back then, they were defending their states. It's these are 133 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: normal conversations you're allowed to have, and they're real. You 134 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: don't have to do the normal white guild history thing 135 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: you see today of North good, South bad. They were Nazis. 136 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: That's awful. Don't do that with me. That's awful. So 137 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: Robert E. Lee was great, but Robert E. Lee, well, 138 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: our story today is not going to paint him in 139 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: the best light. Robert E. Lee because he was a 140 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: Southern general and they were aggressive and they were daring. 141 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: He decides, Okay, enough of this defending our homeland stuff. 142 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: The North is on their heel, they're hurting, their confidence 143 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: is gone. We are feeling real confident because we ain't 144 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: lost many of these things. Let's go to the North. 145 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: Let's go threaten them in the North and try for 146 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: a hammer, fist, knockout blow. And what's in the North 147 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: that they want? Well, there's a lot in the North 148 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: they want. We're going to discuss that in just a 149 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: second as we get to our worst day in American 150 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: history and firing everybody in the government. Good for Joe Biden. 151 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: Hang on, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show.

Oh, you can 170 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: find me on social media at Jesse Kelly DC on Twitter, 171 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: on Instagram, I'm on Facebook. Now back to Gettysburg. Well, 172 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: we're getting to Gettysburg. The Confederates, Robert E. Lee decide 173 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: they're going to plunge into the North. And one, yes, 174 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: they're trying to break a worn down, lacking in confidence 175 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: Northern army. But two, they're also trying to break the 176 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: siege of Vicksburg. You know, you attack somewhere else, it 177 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: can force somebody to break a siege and come help. 178 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: And the North, when they were in the South, were 179 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: finding out some hard lessons themselves, lessons the South was 180 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: going to find out. You see, the North would charge 181 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: into the South, and even people who weren't fighting considered 182 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: the Northern army to be an invading army. How would 183 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: you treat an invading army? The South also, they may 184 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: not have had the manufacturing, they may not have had 185 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: the population, but this was an agrarian economy, obviously on 186 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,359 Speaker 1: the backs of slaves. But this was an agrarian economy. 187 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: The people in the South would feed the Southern troops, 188 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: all of them. They were just they were laying in 189 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: a big sea of food. The North found this to 190 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: be extremely frustrating. The South was about to find out 191 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: this lesson. The South plunged into the North, and they 192 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: had their eyes on Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, d C. Harrisburg. 193 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: Harrisburg was a huge railway depot at the time. And 194 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: here's the thing for the North. The North had a 195 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: big army up there. They had an army waiting for 196 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: the South. But we don't think of things in these 197 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: terms today because of satellites and cell phone cameras and 198 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: tracking in GPS and whatnot. But oftentimes, when it comes 199 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: to war, ancient battles just order battles. I don't think 200 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: you call this. Ancient armies didn't know where each other were. 201 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: Huge armies, tens of thousands of men would just kind 202 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: of disappear. You'd send out scouting forces trying to track 203 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: them down, and then you'd see them. You'd have to 204 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: ride back and report. And so I don't say you're 205 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: trying to find them. The North has an army up there. 206 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: They know the South is marching an army up there 207 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: now has an army up in Pennsylvania. What they don't 208 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: know is one where they are or two where they're going. 209 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: The North is well aware there are there are some 210 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: very important targets up there, and they don't know. They 211 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: don't know what the Southern plans are. All we have 212 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: now is hindsight. They didn't have any idea. But that 213 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: went both ways. Robert E. Lee never knew where the 214 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Union army was either. They just didn't know. They didn't know. 215 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean, our store today is gonna start by accident. 216 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: We'll get that, and we'll get to that in a second. 217 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: And I do have to point something out to give 218 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: the man some credit. Long Street was one of Lee's 219 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: top generals. His name Longstreet. He was dead sets been, 220 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna be right this entire story. He was dead 221 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: set against this invasion of the North, dead set against it, 222 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: and totally as much. He said, why we're winning everything 223 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: down here. We're here with our people, we're here with 224 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: our food. Why. In Lee's defense, he understood the North 225 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: had a much better navy and they were blockading Southern ports, 226 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: and the South really needed this war to end sooner 227 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: rather than later. Or they were going to starve to death. 228 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: You can only grow so much corn to feed so 229 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: many armies, so on and so forth. But Longstreet was 230 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: dead set against us. Now in the north, Lincoln fired 231 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: their general Hooker. All the northern generals had been getting crushed. 232 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: This was the Hooker was not unique in this. All 233 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: the northern generals sucked McClellan Hooker, all of them. Quick, Chris, 234 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: let's grow up. Now, let's grow up. Now they fired 235 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: the Hooker. All right, there we go. Everyone have a 236 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: good laugh. And he hires somebody. Perhaps you've heard this 237 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: name before, Mead. He hires General Meade. General Meade was 238 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: famously an unpleasant individual to be around. Nevertheless, he was 239 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: highly respected. A good general. Not Hannibal Barka, but he 240 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: was a good, solid general. He's not going to get 241 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: you in a bind. He's not gonna make any mistakes. Now, 242 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: there's another thing that South had going against it. They 243 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: were missing, in my opinion, and this is a huge opinion. 244 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: And I'll have ninety emails because civil war freaks are 245 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: passionate about it, which I love. I'll have ninety emails 246 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: arguing this point with me. Tomorrow. Lee had lost Thomas 247 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: Stonewall Jackson, the greatest general in the Civil War. That's 248 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: a pure opinion thing. But it's not an opinion that 249 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Stonewall Jackson was a boss, eccentric, very weird, no question 250 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: about it, an absolute stud of a general, absurdly brave, 251 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: his tactics on the battlefield. Just one of those guys. 252 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: So much bach of that stuff is instinct, when to attack, 253 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: when to pullback, when to move here when it moved, 254 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: And Jackson was just a master. He was a master 255 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: at it. And he had died at Chancellorsville. So Lee 256 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: had lost his best general by a mile, which hurt 257 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: him a lot, and Lee knew it. Lee was vocal 258 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: about that, I think Jackson Jackson lost in arm, and 259 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: I forget which arm it is, so I'm gonna screw 260 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: up the quote, but I think it was his left arm. 261 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: And Lee said, Jackson has lost his left arm. I've 262 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: lost my right arm, meaning that's what Jackson meant to Lee. 263 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: It was. It was a big deal. Lee knew it 264 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: was a big deal. So Lee plunges deep into Pennsylvania 265 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: and they're paralleling each other. Now the armies finally get 266 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: some sense of where they are Lee's in the west, 267 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: the Northern Armies in the east, and they're moving north, 268 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: kind of paralleling each other, but far apart, and Lee sends, 269 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: don't worry about remembering this name. I've already hit you 270 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: with way too of any names today. You know, I 271 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: don't know whom to do this. Lee sends a General, Stewart. 272 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: Stewart had ten thousand cavalry underneath him. He sends Stewart 273 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: out to try to bait the Union Army into attacking him, 274 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: to try to bait them into doing something. The South 275 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: was famous it for this. They'd send huge cavalry units 276 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: out to harass, to raid, to get supplies. Basically gigantic 277 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: raiding parties is what they were. And Stewart takes his 278 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: ten thousand men and takes off. Only Lee tells him 279 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: when he leaves, do not fall out of communication with me. 280 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: You are a critical part of my army. This is 281 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: all my cavalry. I need you and I need your cavalry. 282 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: Stewart takes off. But the Southern generals, while they were 283 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: daring and often very very good, aggressiveness can work against you. Two. 284 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: They were very independent thinkers oftentimes in the South and 285 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: Stewart took off and did not communicate with Lee and 286 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: fell out of contact with Lee, and many people argue 287 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: this is the reason Gettysburg was lost. Frankly, if you 288 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: think Gettysburg's the worst day in American history and maybe 289 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: the most consequential day in American history, Stuart not communicating 290 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: with Lee might be the reason there's no Southern country today. 291 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: You could very well have a Southern nation today if 292 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Stuart communicates with Lee. And will get to why in 293 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: a moment, it was that big of a deal. Now, 294 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: the battle itself, like I said, starts by accident. The 295 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: rebels were in the North. They would routinely raid farms 296 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: in towns for the supplies they needed in their defense. 297 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of, you know, raping and murdering 298 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: of innocent civilians. There wasn't that. They did not conduct 299 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: themselves that way, and really neither did the North. For 300 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: the most part, I know, don't write me, I know 301 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: there were a thousand small incidents. For the most part. 302 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: As brutal and horrible as the war was, the opposing 303 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: armies didn't treat the opposing civilians like dirt. There was 304 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: no rape of Nanking type stuff going on here, But 305 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: the battle starts by accident, as many battles do. South 306 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: rides into Gettysburg. North rides into Gettysburg. Oh, it looks 307 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: like we're gonna fight today, and we're gonna get to 308 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: the battle here now, and then we're going to get 309 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: to the former CIA counter terrorism guy. He thinks you're 310 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: a terrorist. Hang, no word in the English language is 311 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: less convincing than probably. Are you sure we should get 312 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: matching tattoos on our first feed? Sure? And we'll probably 313 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: stay together. Probably it's twenty three minutes since I ate, 314 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: I can probably swim. You should wait thirty minutes. Okay, 315 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't tell me what to do. Candid cramp, I 316 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: have a cramp. I can probably hit the green from here? Probably? 317 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: Can I get a Mulligan ready to go? Hey? Are 318 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: you sure you're okay to drive? Yeah? I'm pretty sober. Yeah, 319 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it 320 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, 321 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: a car, or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. 322 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: A message brought to you by NITZA and the AD Council. 323 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: When a social media company applies these standards unequally on users. 324 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: This is discrimination, pure and simple, and you imagine tolerating 325 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: this kind of behavior in banking, or in healthcare or 326 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: in other industries. So today we announced during this legislative 327 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: session that we will seek to do the following ensure 328 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: that Floridians are safeguarded against these practices from technology companies 329 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: by requiring proper notice and disclosure of these changes to 330 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: the standards and full disclosure of any actions taken against 331 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: a user for violating the standards. Will also seek to 332 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: prevent these platforms from rapidly changing these standards and applying 333 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: them unequally against users. Will also require that users be 334 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: provided the option opt out of the various algorithms these 335 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: platforms used to steer content or in many cases, suppress 336 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: content from the view of other users. But these provisions 337 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: are no use without enforcement, and we will provide recourse 338 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: for Floridians, both by enabling a user to bring a 339 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: cause of action against the technology company for violating these 340 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: requirements of Florida law and empowering the Attorney General to 341 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: bring action against the technology company for violations of these 342 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: requirements under Florida's Unfair and deceptive trade practices Act heavy 343 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: d others are talking about it heavy d ron de Santists. 344 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: Governor of Florida seems to be doing something about it. 345 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: My word, we may have to pack up this whole operation, 346 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: Chris and move to Florida. There's a ton of you 347 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: people down there anyway. Eight seven seven three seven. What 348 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: do you mean are they? Oh? Are you knny? Be 349 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: old people moved from New York to Florida all the time. 350 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: There's a huge Jewish population down there. It's part of 351 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: the reason. It's part of the reason that bagels the 352 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: best bagels I've ever had in my life, second best 353 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: next to New York. Florida. Florida is such a cool place. 354 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: If you never visited Florida, you would love it. Oh, 355 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: it's Florida is like if you get to the right place, 356 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: Florida is like you've transported yourself to Mexico or the 357 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: Caribbean or all that, only you're right here in America. 358 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: It is Florida has some absurdly cool place. You'd love Florida. 359 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: Quit being cheap, Chris, Gosh, no, you don't go to 360 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: the old people parts, Chris, you know what? Never mind? 361 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three 362 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. But all right, 363 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: back to my Civil War thing. The rebels accidentally and 364 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: the Northerners accidentally run into each other in Gettysburg. The 365 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: rebels take off, go grab some help and come back, 366 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: and boom it's on. Now. I'm going to describe the 367 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: layout very briefly of the battlefield. It's very hard to 368 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: do on radio. Maybe we'll find a getty you know 369 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: what we will on the show's Twitter, Chris, get a 370 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: Gettysburg battle kind of where they were lined up, how 371 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: they were lined up, put a picture up on the 372 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: show Twitter. Please, if you wouldn't mind, Thank you appreciate it. 373 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: Here's how it worked. And it's going to be as 374 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: confusing as humanly possible. The Southerners, remember they were invading 375 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: the North. They were actually coming from the north in 376 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: this town. The Northerners were coming from the south and 377 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: south of the Union Army was a series. It was 378 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: a ridgeline, a bunch of ridges where the Northerners had 379 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: some reserve troops dug in. So they run into each 380 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: other in the town. The South takes off, turns around, 381 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: comes back with some guys, and they start attacking the 382 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: northerners in this town and outside of the town, to 383 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: the south of the town. The south winds this day. 384 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: They do the south winds this day, but the north 385 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: does not get routed, does not get slaughtered. They have 386 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: an orderly retreat back up into the ridge. And once 387 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: again I have to point out Longstreet in Lee's disagreement. 388 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: You remember I just said the northerners retreated to the ridge, 389 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: a fortified, wooded ridge. Longstreet looks at this and says, well, 390 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: why would we attack them up there? That's terrible. That's 391 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: the same stupid stuff they've been doing to us the 392 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: whole war. That's why we've been beating them. Why don't 393 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: we just leave this battlefield. They have all the advantages. 394 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: Let's leave the battlefield. Let's go around them and take 395 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: off for DC. All we have to do is put 396 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: ourselves between them in DC, and they will be forced 397 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: to attack us on whatever ground we choose, because we're 398 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: between them in DC. In one of the most consequential 399 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: decisions in the history of the United States of America, 400 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: Robert E. Lee disagreed. I don't know whether it was pride, nerves, arrogance, 401 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: a lack of confidence. I don't know. I can't put 402 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: myself in the head, in the guy's head, but he said, no, 403 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna whip them right here now on that 404 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: ridge line. This is it's difficult to lay this out 405 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: on radio, but on the ridge line. The ridge line 406 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: was running north to south, and on the southern end 407 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: of the ridge line was a place called Big Roundtop 408 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: and Little Roundtop. And they're exactly what you think too, 409 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: like individual hills, tall hills, wooded hills. Those are the 410 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: southern end of the line. The South's plan is this, 411 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: We're not going to attack the middle of the line, 412 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll shoot at them a little. We 413 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: have to try to flank them. Let's go down take 414 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: Big and Little Roundtop, and then we'll just roll up 415 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: the whole rest of the Union Army as we take 416 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: off through the ridge line. That is the plan. And 417 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: this plan almost worked. And again I come back to 418 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: General Stewart, who's still not here with his ten thousand cavalry. Guy, 419 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: cavalry guys, they're gone. The battle kicks off the north. Yes, 420 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: they're dug in on the ridge at Little and Big Roundtop, 421 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: but they are ten to one odds. That's how badly 422 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: the North is outnumbered down here and the South. And 423 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those scenes. It would be terrible, 424 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: so you wouldn't enjoy it. At the same time, I 425 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: want to see it. The South, to their credit, they 426 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: fight and they just keep charging up these little roundtop 427 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: hills trying to blow the Northern troops off the top 428 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: of the hills. And the Northern troops Joshua Chamberlain and 429 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: his men from Maine, he's a famous guy from this battle. 430 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: They can they just fight like lions. Sometimes they actually 431 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: get blown off the hill top and fight right back 432 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: to their defensive positions. And we are talking bayonets, muskets. 433 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: It is horrific hand to hand fighting as the South 434 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: is trying desperately to blow them off the top. At 435 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: one point towards the end of this part of the battle, 436 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: the Union, I remember, I said they were outnumbered. They 437 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: ran out of ammunition because they'd shot so many of 438 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: the rebels, and the rebels were still coming. They fixed 439 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: bayonets and charged. It actually worked. It was one of 440 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: the most daring, brilliant things I've ever heard of in 441 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: my life. The South was so freaked out by a 442 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: bunch of guys charging downhill with bayonets fixed, they turned 443 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: around and took off. And this was the end of 444 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: this day. And it was a horrible, bloody day for 445 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: both sides. Some Southern units were completely destroyed. Gone here 446 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: one day, gone the next. A horrible day for both sides. 447 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: And that was day two, which brings us to day three, 448 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: the final day. And once again, I feel like I've 449 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: said this ninety times today, it's hard to put yourself 450 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: in the mind of Robert E. Lee in exactly what 451 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: he was thinking. But you had, you know, like I 452 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: just said, whole units wiped out, some units eighty percent casualties, 453 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: some fifty percent casualties. That you had huge Southern losses, 454 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: but there were big Northern losses too. Lee decides he 455 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: wants to charge the center of the ridge line on 456 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: day number three. And if you could see, I almost 457 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: want you to Google image search this. While I'm talking 458 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: there the Union guys are dug in in the ridge 459 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: and it's open field between you and them. It just 460 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: I'll put it to you this way. You know, the 461 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: great General MacArthur and his British counterpart McCarthy or McCarthy, Montgomery, 462 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: MacArthur and Montgomery. They were I would have loved them, 463 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: been a fly on the wall in this conversation. You 464 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: want to know what they did at Gettysburg. Later on, 465 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you exactly what they did in just a 466 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: second pinion The Jesse Kelly Show.

You can look 486 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: no further than the last several months of the election 487 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: has coordinated, calculated efforts were undertaken to advance an increasingly 488 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: evident political agenda of the big tech companies. The problem 489 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: is these companies are playing a significant role in the 490 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: advancement of issues and candidates, but do so without recording 491 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: many of their efforts for what they are political contributions. 492 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: If I were to give something of value to a 493 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: candidate or political committee, it would be a contribution. But 494 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: big tech has been manipulating news content and designing algorithms 495 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: to give the upper hand of their candidates of choice, 496 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: and they do so scott free, again euphemistically called content moderation. 497 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: I think it's more political manipulation. Keep bringing the pain, 498 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: heavy d keep bringing the pain. We are with you, 499 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: and yes, I'm going to get to what the Defense secretary, 500 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: what Joe Biden did that I love, absolutely love here 501 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: in just a second, as I wrap up Gettysburg day three, 502 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: Lee thinks the Northern Army is hurting. Lee wants to charge, 503 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: charge right at the center of it. Longstreet once again says, 504 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry what you want to I'm sorry. Maybe I'm 505 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: not hearing you right because I had a cannon go 506 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: off next to me yesterday. Did you just I thought 507 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: I heard you say you wanted to charge across the 508 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: open field towards the center of the line. That's exactly 509 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: what Lee wanted. But military is not a democracy. It 510 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: is a dictatorship. Robert E. Lee says, that's what we're doing, 511 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: and he finds a man by the name of Picket. Yes, 512 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: you've probably heard of Pickett's charge. Pickets Guy, Pickets Division. 513 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: They hadn't been bloodied yet. It's battle. Lee tells Pickett, 514 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: you're going to charge. You're going to charge the center 515 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: of it. The rebels start off shooting some cannons at 516 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: the north and shades of World War One. They think 517 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: they're going to shoot so many cannonballs up there that 518 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: they'll have blown them off their defensive positions and then 519 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: be able to charge, only to find out later that 520 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: was very much not the case. The rebels shoot a 521 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of cannons the Northern Army shoots a few, but 522 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: then stops why because they can't believe their dumb luck. 523 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: These guys are going to charge right at us across 524 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: the open field. Just hold fire until they get closer. 525 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: Pickett asks Longstreet, who's above him? Are right? Am I? 526 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: He basically asked him for the order, and Longstreet wrote 527 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: about this in his memoirs. Longstreet was so horrified that 528 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: he was ordering men to what he knew was going 529 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: to be certain doom. He couldn't voice the words to 530 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: pick It to tell him to charge. He just nodded 531 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: his head. Pick It takes thirteen thousand men, day three, 532 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: and pick It charges. The Union Army holds fire for 533 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: the most part with their cannons and their muskets, until 534 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: the rebels get close enough, and then well hell happens. 535 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't have another way to describe it. I've read 536 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: so much on this battle, watch so much, and it 537 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: just sounds like hell. All the muskets, the cannons are 538 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: not only firing the big cannonballs you see, they're firing 539 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: grape shot, which is exactly what you think. It is, 540 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of steel balls. They said they would shoot 541 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: a cannon and ten men would die instantly, body parts, 542 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: gear flying everywhere, Carnage by the thousands, by the thousands, 543 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: and the rebels kept charging bravely to their credit, absurd 544 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: levels of bravery, charging into certain death as the Union 545 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: just mowed them down like grass. Only one rebel unit 546 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: even got two the actual Union line, and they all 547 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: promptly died for their trouble. He started out with thirteen 548 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: thousand men. By the time the day was over, he 549 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: limped back to his line with about six thousand left 550 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: an awful day in American history. Thousands and thousands and 551 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: thousands over the course of three days, dead on both sides. 552 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: Quick little side note, Pickett hated Robert Elie for life 553 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: after this, said that he sent his men to get 554 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: slaughtered that day. He considered him a murderer. Again, not 555 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: unlike World War One, many of the guys, many of 556 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: the British considered the British General Hague from what he 557 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: did at the Psalm, considered him to be a mass 558 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: murderer for what he did to their guys. The truth 559 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: is this the decisions we make, the decisions we make 560 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: when we have these huge, important battles going on. For 561 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: the direction of America, the soul of America. Politics is fun. Yes, 562 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: we enjoy it. It's a it's a hobby for most 563 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: of us in a passion. I'm not gonna act like 564 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: it's just a hobby, like hacky Sack or something. But 565 00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 1: these are humongous, life changing, life ending decisions we make 566 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: when I scream at the GOP to get tougher and 567 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: get braver, as I'm going to do again today over 568 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: something that's driving me up the wall. I am not 569 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: doing it lightly. I am doing it because the threat 570 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: is very real now and I need him to wake 571 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: up because the cost of failure here is high.
