This is a Jesse Kelly show. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:30.319 I want you to imagine something. I want you to 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:38.560 imagine hearing a cannon go off, knowing that cannon was 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:47.119 aimed at you. It's loud. You know what comes after it? 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.640 You do that thing where you kind of cringe and 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.640 put your head down a little like you do in 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.120 a parking garage. But it seems like it's about to 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.080 hit the roof of your car, so you do the 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.360 weird thing where you duck your head inside your card. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.080 You know what I'm talking about. That's what artillery cannon 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:09.280 fire will force you to do. And you're just waiting 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.240 now for the cannonball to hit. Instead of the cannonball 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.520 hitting you, hear a thud right beside you. You look 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:23.359 over and it's your friend's head the cannonball shot at you. 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:32.840 That is not something I made up. That's not something 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:40.440 from Hollywood. That's something a real human being has experienced before. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:51.520 Think about that. Let us begin with one of the 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:57.240 more famous sieges of all time, and shockingly one that 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.280 is actually not taught much I've found in American schools, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.880 The Siege of Malta. The Siege of Malta, well, I 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.920 guess we should call it the Great Siege of Malta 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:16.200 because it's happened before this, it happened again after this, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.720 I'm almost positive there was even a siege of Malta 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.840 in World War Two. I believe we're not talking about those. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.200 We're talking about the one that took place in the 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:31.960 year fifteen sixty five. It took place because the Knights 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:37.280 of Saint John, who were running Malta. We're having some 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:44.240 problems with the Ottoman Empire. Now, why isn't it taught 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.279 that much in schools here? There are a lot of reasons, 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:54.720 but the Ottoman Empire is a big one. Now, I'm 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.760 not going to do this thing where we pretend as 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:03.000 if Americans are a bunch of bigots. We're not, certainly 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.520 not any worse than most of the countries on Earth. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.920 In fact, a lot better. But the Ottoman Empire is 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.720 simply not talked about much in school. Now. Granted, I 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.080 just went to a crappy public school, a government school, 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.960 but remember I've always loved history. I'm a history freak. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.560 I did soak it up as much as possible. I 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.640 think we spent like half a day on the Ottoman 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.599 Empire at one time. It's just not something we talk 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:38.440 about in the Ottoman Empire. I mean, it's it's the 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.839 Persian Empire after the Persians. The Ottoman Empire was big 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.040 time man, big time, the most powerful empire on earth. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.200 And I think, I think this is a Muslim thing. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.400 I think that's why government schools don't teach it that much. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.800 I think it's a Muslim thing. And again, I don't 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.880 think we're bigot it. We're just not a Muslim country. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.960 I know we have several Muslims here, but America is 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.480 not a Muslim country. America is a Christian country, and Muslims, 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:14.760 Islam and Christianity have been at odds well since forever. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:21.160 Islam and Judaism have been at odds since forever. It's 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:26.239 just one of those historic rivalries, things that existed long 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.839 before the United States of America ever came to be, 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.919 and will exist long after we're gone. It's there, and 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.919 I think there's something that something to it. But just know, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.960 as you've heard before, I've done shows on the Ottoman Empire, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.600 various parts of it, battles, sieges, I will do various others. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:51.400 I find it to be really, really fascinating. The religious 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.520 aspect of it is very fascinating. And because you know, 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.960 I don't care about hurting anyone's feelings, we just dive 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.880 right into that here. One thing you do need to 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:10.360 know pre siege of Malta is the fall of Constantinople, 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.280 which we've brought up before on the show, and it 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.200 is everything for you to understand what a big deal 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:23.200 that was. Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.560 also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.960 in the minds of many Christians in Europe it was 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:40.440 the capital of Christianity, is what it was. This is 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:46.320 an era where the thinking about religions and locations and 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:52.320 armies and battles and power was different than our American 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:59.400 way of thinking about it. These people constantly thought they 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:09.440 were fighting for the Holy Land physically, they thought it 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:14.240 was their duty to do so. God wants me to 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.520 have this city, and the Muslims thought the same thing. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.280 God wants my God wants me to have this city. Well, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:25.360 let's fight it out. And when you won, no matter 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:30.320 what you did tactically or otherwise, especially in this era, 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.440 you won and you thought that's because God blessed me, 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.440 and you lost because you're a scumbag sinner. And it 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.080 was the same for the Muslims. Allah wants us to 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.840 have this city. He doesn't want you to have the city. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.840 Oh I lost, I must have committed a great sin 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:54.600 or something. They viewed everything that took place as a 0:07:54.760 --> 0:08:00.400 spiritual battle big time. Now, let's not make it too lofty. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.040 And the eyes of the Muslims, of the eyes of 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.520 the Christians, there was still a ton of greed involved 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:13.840 in basic things like shipping, lanes, trade. You know how 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.320 it goes. And oftentimes it's not as if this only 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:23.640 happens today. Oftentimes you can cloak that in religion. Oh, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:28.120 we are Christians. I can't believe those dirty Muslims took Constantinople. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.000 We need to take that back for Jesus and the training. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.600 The trading is nice too, doesn't hurt, And the Muslims 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.400 are doing the same thing. All really wants us to 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.560 have this. And look, if there's some wealth that comes 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.600 with it, that's fine, not that I care. It's about 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.559 all our It's really about all human nature. You and 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:54.480 I do it too, don't we. But the fall of 0:08:54.559 --> 0:09:00.160 Constantinople in fourteen fifty three is not a small thing, 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.800 not only for wealth reasons in the eyes of Christians. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:11.080 In the minds of Christians, they feel like an evil 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:17.360 demonic force is about to finish off not Europe, It's 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:22.840 about to finish off Christianity period. These Ottomans rose and 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:30.120 rose quickly. They are intelligent. They are technologically advanced big time. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.120 The Ottoman siege weapons and knowledge of cannon fight. It 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.520 was just they were really really good at this stuff. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.920 They had excellent scientists, excellent engineers. They almost seemed like 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.640 they almost seemed like Rome, way after Rome, and that 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:52.120 they would just outthink you with certain things, huge libraries, 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.680 and it should be noted. And this is a weird 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.520 thing to talk about, but we talk about everything, don't 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.440 we very clean people. You see, this is an era 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:10.240 where bathing wasn't always a huge priority, and oftentimes in 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:16.920 Christian Europe it just wasn't prioritized at all. But Islam 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.760 has very strict or at least they practiced very strict 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.840 bathing rules and cleanliness rules. That doesn't sound like anything, 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.280 It sounds like everything. When one third of your city's 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.760 dying from disease and one third of theirs isn't a 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:54.680 big deal. Oh God, on animalithide on me. Jesse Kelly. 0:10:55.120 --> 0:11:04.320 You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. Uncertainty, You know 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.679 what's out there everywhere, don't you? By do two? You 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:12.120 all remember what happened with that little stock market what 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.920 do we want to call it a blip a few 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.520 months ago when we all woked up and looked at 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.440 our four oh one ks and our jaws dropped. That 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.040 was a small one. You know, there's a big one coming, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.920 because there's always another big one coming. It's inevitable. At 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.120 some point in time, it will come. Now. You see 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.240 what we're doing lately printing money. You're hearing these rumors 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:40.120 already about inflation, that ugly eye word interest rates possibly 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.440 going out. You know, it's not the end of the world. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:48.760 It does mean, though, you have got to diversify. Now, 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.720 get a gold Ira from gold Alliance. Go to gold 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:59.120 Alliance dot com slash jesse. That's gold Alliance dot com 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.920 slash jesse. You worked hard for that money. Keep it 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:24.440 Costantinople falls Europe thinks Christianity is under attack and honestly 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:31.160 kind of woes. We're not going to discount that. Islam 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.600 and Christianity we're at odds, are at odds. We're very 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.640 much at odds at this point in time. Who's going 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.760 to be running things around here. And remember how small 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:50.080 the world was back then. We're talking Columbus just now 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:55.880 discovering the New World. So the civilized world is relatively small. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.080 The Ottomans want it all, Theians want it all too. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:06.880 Ottomans are winning this and the Christians now they feel 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.920 like the end is near. You've seen the guy on 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.160 the sidewalk. The end is near? What the sign? That's 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.240 an ominous feeling that is prevalent at this time because 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.240 the Christian armies are simply not able to withstand Ottoman armies. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:30.720 Yet they're not, which brings us down to Malta. Now. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.880 I don't need you to look it up, although you can, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.200 you know, I always tell you a visual helps a lot. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.040 But you know where Italy is. Obviously everybody can see Italy, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.400 and everybody knows about the island of Sicily off the 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:50.160 toe of the Italian boot. Just east of the Italian boot, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:57.560 there's that big island of Sicily. Now just south of Sicily, 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:02.160 you can actually see Malta from Sicily and vice versa. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.360 There's a tiny, tiny, tiny island that is its own 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:12.920 nation today called Malta. It looks if you do an 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.800 image search of it, it looks gorgeous. It looks like 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:22.360 the Caribbean, blue waters, cool looking buildings. It's very very small, Chris, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.880 I want to say this may be way wrong. I 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.480 want to say it's only about twenty miles across. I think. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.720 I mean, it's very very small. It seems about right. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.840 It looks beautiful today, but it would have been a consuld. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.680 It would have been considered pretty desolate back then. You'll 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.240 see how beautiful it looks, and oh the water looks nice. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.120 But it doesn't look like there's a lot of trees 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:49.600 and stuff there. It just looks desolate. But picture this 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.560 when you're looking at it or picturing where that island is. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.120 Do you think that might be an important location for 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:02.960 shipping in trade. It's very very important for shipping in trade. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.720 There are some nights there, Like I said, the Knights 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:13.560 of Saint John, they're there. They're running the show in Malta. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.760 And let's not pretend as if the Christians at this 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.160 point in time were just, you know, piously eating unleavened 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.080 bread in the church as they prayed to Jesus while 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.440 the while the violent, evil Muslim hordes were pouring over Europe. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.400 This was an era of raiding and pillaging the knights 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:42.680 in Malta. Well, they weren't online businessmen. They spent their 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:48.120 time raiding Islamic villages, in shipping. That's what they did 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:56.200 for a living, stealing things and kidnapping people, kidnapping people 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.800 for ransom. That's how they made their living. This was 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.520 lucrative for a long time. You and I have a 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.680 hard time wrapping our minds around that being accepted, but 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.120 remember that was accepted for a very long time. Remember 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.800 when we talked about the American colonies, really before they 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.880 were colonies, how they would send American pilots or pirates, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:24.800 I mean American pilots, pirates over the Islamic world and 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.320 steal from Muslims and then bring all those goods back 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:34.080 to America and we're celebrated, not treated as criminals. Celebrated. Yeah, 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:38.640 screw those dirty Muslims. Thanks for the stuff, a way 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.600 of life, a way of life for the Muslims, a 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.280 way of life for the Christians. But there is a 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.720 real danger there. You see, you're always going to accept 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.800 in that time, You're going to accept a certain amount 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.600 of loss from piracy and stealing and rating, because like 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.840 I said, it's accepted it's the way of life, except 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.840 sometimes it can get person all. That's the real danger 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.919 in stealing things right and kidnapping things. What if you 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.920 steal the wrong thing from the wrong guy, or kidnapped 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.360 the wrong person from the wrong guy. The Ottoman Empire 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:19.080 at this time is led by a man named Suleiman 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.240 the Magnificent. They didn't call him that because he was 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:31.040 a shrinking violet. Suleiman the Magnificent was big time, presiding 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:36.480 over a very very powerful empire by now unquestionably the 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.639 most powerful empire in the world by the year fifteen 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:44.160 sixty five. Owning Constantinople will help you do that. By 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.160 the way, it's such an important shipping lane that you're 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:52.919 going to become fabulously wealthy off of it. The nights, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:59.280 while they're kidnapping and stealing, they end up kidnapping a nurse, 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.040 which in general would not be the end of the world, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.560 except she's an Ottoman nurse. Okay, still not the end 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.639 of the world. Except it turns out she's the nurse 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.239 to the daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, a daughter he 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.920 loved very, very very much. And this lady was more 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.640 than a nurse. She was essentially the daughter's mother, grandmother. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.840 Now he's upset. Now he's looking at you, Malta, and 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:37.200 now he's coming. You've got about six thousand fighting men 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:43.919 in Malta. Suleiman begins to build up troops, ends up 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.200 building up about forty thousand of these troops. And see, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.640 we forget what it's like to live in an era 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.600 where you don't have a ton of intelligence. Lots of 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.160 the time, and I'm talking about, you know, spying intel, 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:59.640 you just don't have a lot of it, and even 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.359 when you have it, it's difficult to get it to 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:08.720 and fro its communications much slower, completely different mindset. So 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:14.880 everybody is looking at this Muslim empire, the Ottomans building up, 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:20.760 clearly an army to invade somewhere, and everybody's worried that 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.600 it's coming to them. It's not as if you're putting 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.120 out signs when you're the Ottomans, Oh no, no, we're 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.800 going to Malta. You're watching the build up with your spies, 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:36.520 and you don't know where they're going. However, de Vallette 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.880 or Lavalette, he's the man in charge of Malta at 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:44.120 this time. The night he suspects their coming his way. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.120 So he begins to do the very very smart thing. 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:54.600 He sends the civilians away and begins to lay in supplies, food, 0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.200 everything you need to fire off your cannons, rocks, enough 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.359 to make pitch, you know, burning oil, anything flammable he 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.040 can get his hands on. He's stocking up because he 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.560 only has six thousand fighting men and there are forty 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.960 thousand coming his way. By the way, it's a quick 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.840 side note, there were about twenty five thousand regular Ottoman 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.399 troops and the rest of them were essentially pirates, so 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.840 they actually don't know an exact number of how many 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.520 they were. The Ottomans would use pirates on the high seas. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:31.960 He thinks they're coming and low and behold they are. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:38.720 Now I need to describe for you what the major 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.800 port looks like. It's called Valetta to this day. If 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.520 you'd like to have a great idea what I'm talking 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.160 about again, and you're in a safe place in your 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:51.080 car or at a computer or something, you can pull 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:57.280 up Valetta, Malta. Now on the northeastern part of Malta, 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:02.000 there's a gigantic harbor. So in your mind you need 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.879 to do this. You need to draw a V in 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.480 your mind. You have that V. Now you need to 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.679 take the bottom point of that V and draw a 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.679 straight line up from it. All right, So now you 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.480 have a V with an extra line in the middle. 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.640 You got it. Now, just turn it rotated clockwise just 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.160 a little so it's all facing northeast. That's what we're 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:48.520 dealing with. Now, Hang on, home titlelock dot com can 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:53.919 save you. Well, honestly, I was gonna say money, and 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.560 it can. I mean, if you catch the home title 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.159 theft in time, there's a chan you can spend tens 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.919 of thousands of dollars on legal fees and stop it. 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:06.800 There's a chance at that. So I guess I was 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.000 just gonna say money. But the truth is this, hometitlelock 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:14.399 dot com can save you from getting evicted. That's the 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.600 result of home title theft.

Well you 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.359 have the v with the line in it. I know 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:21.800 it's got weird whatever. Gotta explain things to you. Now. 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:26.760 They land their forty thousand troops on Malta and they 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.920 are coming, but they don't land in that main harbor 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:36.560 you've probably undoubtedly already looked up by now. They land 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:41.360 at another safer place because there's a little fort they 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.320 want to take first. I know you're all going to 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.480 have the song stuck in your head when I tell 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.720 you the name. But the fort is called Saint Elmo. Yes, 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:57.960 I know, go ahead sing the chorus briefly first and 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:01.520 get it out of the way, because you're doing the 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.440 same thing I did as soon as I figured it out, 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:12.359 saying Elmo. It's only got about six hundred dudes in it. 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.520 It shouldn't be difficult for the Ottomans to take it 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.919 at all. Their plan is to take it in four days, 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.159 but it's one of those ones that's very much in 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.879 the way and they want to get it out of 0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:34.160 the way quickly. Except these people aren't dying and they 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:41.879 aren't going away, and sieges are all about preparation. The 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:47.160 truth is The guys on Malta were tough fighters. They 0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:50.360 sent away the women and children, which is always essential. 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:53.480 Part of the reason sieges fall is you have people 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:58.840 who can't fight using up your supplies of water and food. 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.320 You can't deal with that. Plus you're worried about them. 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.720 Once they're all gone and it's just the fighting men, 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:09.640 you're gonna be just fine. Well, you'll be a lot 0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:13.560 better off than you were. And these guys are fortified, 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:17.800 they're ready, they're prepared. They managed to keep a supply 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:23.920 line open between the main fortifications and the tiny little 0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.439 Saint Omo for it. So remember I said it was 0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.760 supposed to take four days. Yeah, we're on like day 0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:37.520 twenty eight and they still can't get into this thing. Finally, 0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:41.560 the Ottomans managed to cut off the supply from the 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.800 main fortifications to this fort, so they know it's going 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:50.480 to fall. But these Nights are just fighting like lions. 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:56.920 They're using a fifteen hundreds version of a flame thrower, 0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:03.080 they're pouring hot oil on the Ottomans. It's just turning 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:07.800 into this absolute nightmare. And the problem for the Ottomans 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:11.960 is not only they haven't taken this fort yet. Remember 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:20.880 what a siege generally comes down to time. You only 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:24.560 have so much time if you're if you're under siege, 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.280 you only have so much time. If you're sieging someone else, 0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.600 you only have so much time because you only have 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:37.520 so many supplies. And depending on where you are, the 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:42.600 weather is a change in and Malta. Once it starts 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:49.240 to be August ish September ish, we're talking storms, problems. 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.240 You're going to have an issue. And this is Remember 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.760 I said the island was fairly desolate. You're the Ottomans, 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.720 you're very wealthy. You're fine. You landed with forty thousand troops, 0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:03.200 but it's still in island and you have to feed 0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:08.800 forty thousand men three meals a day, plus cannonballs, plus powder, 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.920 plus all that you see in the issue. Now you've 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:16.760 got a time crunch too. You don't have twenty eight 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.959 days to take the tiny ford beforehand, and these guys 0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:27.639 simply won't die. Then these guys at the Saint elmo 0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:31.080 Ford come up with one of the cooler siege things 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:33.719 I've ever heard in my life. They come up with 0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.960 a firehop. This is after they've been cut off, a 0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:39.439 fire tire. A fire hoop I've heard it called a 0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.320 fire roll. The first thing I read called it a 0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:46.440 fire roll. They took the metal strap that goes around 0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:48.560 a barrel. You can see an old wooden barrel in 0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.560 your mind, right, and you know there's a metal strapped 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:52.520 around the top and the bottom of it. You see it. 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.359 They would take off the metal strap, wrap it in 0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.520 a rope, soak the rope inflammable liquid, let it dry, 0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.359 then do that time and time and time and time 0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:08.600 again into it's super thick. They then would light this 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.800 tire I'm gonna call it a fire tire on fire 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:17.760 and roll it down the walls of the fortifications and 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.280 it would roll through the lines and you couldn't put 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:23.320 the thing out because it's so flammable, and it would 0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:27.360 just tear through these Ottoman troops who wore way too 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.399 much clothing because that was simply their style, and all 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:35.560 their stuff would catch on fire. The Ottomans finally take 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:39.880 Saint Elmo. Oh my gosh, I just made an accidental 0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.240 reference to Saint Elmo's fire Chris, I did full circle. 0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:50.720 They finally take Saint Elmo, and the Muslims are upset. 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.200 The Ottomans are very upset. At this point in time, 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.560 more upset with themselves than anything else. But you know 0:28:56.640 --> 0:29:00.160 how that usually goes when you finally take something how 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:04.880 many sieges that we talked about, and you're angry. So 0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:09.600 they decide they're going to take all the men they've killed. 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.520 They're remember this is a religious conflict in their mind too. 0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:19.840 They cut off their heads, which was an extreme affront 0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:23.640 to the Christians at that time. Maybe it still is 0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:25.200 at this time. I'm just not one of those people 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.240 who cares what happens to my body once I'm dead, 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:29.640 but at this time that was very important. They cut 0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:33.200 off their heads and they strapped them to crosses even 0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.640 though they were dead, and threw them in the water, 0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:40.320 and the water carried them over to the main fortification. 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:45.800 The Christians are furious, as you can imagine. Now in 0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.240 the minds of the Christians, not only are the Muslim 0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:53.240 hordes coming to destroy Jesus and Christianity, now you're flat 0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:57.000 out mocking our religion while you did it. So the 0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:03.360 Maltese they took all their prisoners and kidnapped guys, executed 0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.320 all of them, and remember the beginning of the show, 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:12.520 cut off their heads, loaded their heads in the cannons, 0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:21.480 and fired their heads into the Ottoman lines, obviously extremely 0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:25.600 insulting to every side. And you do this if you're 0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.000 the guys on Malta for a couple of reasons. One 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:33.120 little petty revenge feels good now and then doesn't it too. 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.640 When you do that, you're letting all your guys know, 0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:43.120 just the heads up, there's no surrender now. Now we've 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:48.680 personally offended them. It's win or die. You've seen this 0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:56.000 in sieges before. Now, remember, sometimes it works out, sometimes 0:30:56.000 --> 0:31:00.360 it doesn't. Remember the Fall of Carthage. We talk about 0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.280
