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

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 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: percent off. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. I want

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: you to imagine someone as we stand right now in

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: the United States of America. You wake up this morning

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and you find out every single business in the country

23
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: is for sale everyone, big businesses, small businesses. Don't worry

24
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: about who's selling them, don't worry about any of that.

25
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: They're all up for sale. I'm talking Amazon is up

26
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: for sale, the local mom and pop shop up for sale, Yahoo, Google,

27
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the oil companies, every single privately owned businesses for sale

28
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow overnight. What does that look like for you in

29
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: your life? What does it look like for the future

30
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: of the nation. Well, let me give you a rough idea,

31
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: since you don't really have to guess. This actually happened,

32
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: and it happened when the Soviet Union fell. You see,

33
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: when the Soviet Union fell. This is all under Gorbachev stuff.

34
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: When they decided, all right, we're not we're not communist anymore,

35
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. We would all agree, right,

36
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: and it's communism that nobody really wins there. But they decided, look,

37
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: we obviously we're not communist anymore. So there's not a

38
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: state owned anything. And that is tough for us to

39
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: even wrap our minds around, right, a state owned everything.

40
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: But everything, and I do mean everything, was state owned,

41
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: local bar, state owned, grocery store, stayed owned, big businesses,

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: small businesses, state owned. Isn't that insane to even think about. Well,

43
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: that was reality. That was reality. So how do you

44
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: properly transition a country, a big country like Russia, from

45
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: a place where everything is state owned to where everything

46
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: is privately owned. Well, I don't know that there is

47
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: a good way. And this is what I mean by that.

48
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what would happen if you and I

49
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: woke up tomorrow morning and everything in the United States

50
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: of America was for sale? Well, the rich guys would

51
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: just buy up every single thing, every single thing. And

52
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: let's not consider them to be idiots. They they knew

53
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: this was going to happen as well. And so what

54
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: did they do in Russia? They issued things like vouchers

55
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: to people, everybody, like every Russian citizen, Well, here, no,

56
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: here's here's I forget what, pick a number. Here's twenty

57
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Right, there's twenty grand for you. But you

58
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: have to buy a business, or buy into a business,

59
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: or buy some stock into something with something. Right, we

60
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: want to make this fair. And I mean they knew

61
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: what was coming. They were trying to avoid what was coming.

62
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: But what would happen if you gave each and every

63
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: citizen right now, same situation twenty thousand dollars, only they

64
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: have to spend it on vouchers or stocks. Well, the

65
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: rich guys would just buy the vouchers from people for

66
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: pennies on the dollar. Oh, I'm sorry, producer Chris, you

67
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: don't know where to spend your twenty thousand dollars in vouchers.

68
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: That's fine. Hey, I'll tell you what. I'll give you

69
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars, cold hard cash right now that you

70
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: can spend on anything you want, and you give me

71
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: your twenty thousand in vouchers. Do you think a nation

72
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of starvation of financial turmoil, do you

73
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: think there was a big market out there for people

74
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: just selling their vouchers off to the rich people. Oh? Oh,

75
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: yes there was, Yes there was. And remember the kind

76
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: of world the Soviet Union was hard, very very hard

77
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: for us to wrap our minds around. So let's take

78
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: just a little bit of time with this. When everything

79
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: is state owned, somebody's still going to make a profit.

80
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: That's how life works. And I don't think you or

81
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: I could ever possibly relate to completely existing in a

82
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: society that is only corrupt. There is no justice anywhere

83
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: you look. Everything is corrupt, and you morally, you have

84
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: to decide what is right and what is wrong, even

85
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: within your or belief system. Let's say let's say you're

86
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: a Christian. Plenty of Christians in Russia. Well, I don't

87
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: know about your Bible. My Bible's pretty pretty specific about

88
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: things like stealing, real specific Chris, I've bet you can

89
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: you people are against that right now? What if that's

90
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: the only way you could get toilet paper? Okay, let's

91
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: not even call it stealing. Let's let me paint this

92
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: picture for you, because this was real. This is how

93
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: people lived in Russia under the communes, because it was

94
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: state run everything that everybody was always out of everything,

95
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: No one ever had anything, and you had to essentially

96
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: buy your common goods, common everything you needed on an

97
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: illegal black market. Now what do your morals tell you

98
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: you're allowed to do in that situation. I'm not talking

99
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: about going down to the street corner to get black

100
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: tar heroine. I'm talking about going down to the street

101
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: corner to get medicine for your child's fever, some ketchup,

102
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: not making that up, shoes, a winter coat. It's cold out,

103
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: all all the state run stores are sold out. You

104
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: have to go do illegal deals for these basic items

105
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: and trade. Of course there is. You can't ever stop

106
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: the sale of things people want. That's why black markets

107
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: are so prevalent all over the world. The second you

108
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: make something illegal, unless you've stopped the appetite for it,

109
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: it's just gonna go black market. Only in the Soviet Union,

110
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I've read a million of these stories. You would have

111
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: to trade things for something like getting your heat or

112
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: in the winter time in Russia. Now your heater goes

113
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: out here in Houston in the winter time, you're gonna

114
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: need an extra blankie. Maybe at night. Your heater goes

115
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: out in Russia in the winter time, you're dead, so

116
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: you need that heater fixed. Right, Well, I have great news.

117
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Good news is this is not gonna cost you a

118
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: dime because the state owns all of it, and everybody

119
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: should have this for free. That's the good news. The

120
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: bad news, of course, is you are like ninety fifth

121
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: on the list. We will probably see you in two

122
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: or three months. Better bundle up. Well, that's not gonna work,

123
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: is it. So they would they would trade things like food,

124
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: like home cooked meals. It was not at all uncommon.

125
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: If the old lady could do some cooking to have

126
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: that be your family's currency. To get basic stune, you

127
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: gotta get the heater fixed, honey, buyre up the gula.

128
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: It's true, that's what it's like. So again, back to

129
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: what I was saying, what are you comfortable with morally

130
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: and imagine dealing with that and plus the businesses that exist.

131
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: It's always some guy who knew a guy some higher

132
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: up in the communist party. Let's say he runs the

133
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: local he runs the local grocery store. Well, what's really

134
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: happening there? I'll explain just a second. Raycon earbuds are

135
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: an absolute life changer. If you consume audio at all

136
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: at all, buy some of these things. Now, I'm a

137
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: little different, and that's all I do is listen to audio.

138
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: When I'm not doing it myself, I'm listening to it,

139
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: whether that be music, whether it be audiobooks, whether it

140
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: be podcasts. I always have these things in my ears

141
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: listening to something. And that's one of the best things

142
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: about it. The charge lasts forever. They said six hours.

143
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: It is supposed to last six hours. I know I've

144
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: beaten that number before. These things are comfortable, they sound

145
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: crystal clear, and maybe most importantly, they're small. I don't

146
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: want big, ugly, gaudy looking earbuds out there. These things

147
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: practically fit all the way in your ear. Go to

148
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: by raycon dot com slash Jesse. That's by Raycon dot

149
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: com slash Jesse. That gets you fifteen percent off your order, Jesse.

150
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: Kelly backs in. So you have the local grocery store

151
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: and it's state run, right, Well, it's actually run by

152
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: a dude. Obviously gonna be a dude with some connections

153
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: in the Communist Party. Probably daddy's a commy. Mommy's a comedy.

154
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Uncle's commy. Let's me run the commedy store. Well, you

155
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: and I know how this works. He's not doing his

156
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: good little Soviet thing and just running that grocery store

157
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: for the you know, twenty ruples or what's the rusts,

158
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: the Russian money. Chris is a ruples, Rubles, ruples, rubles,

159
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: will a bee, let's call him Rubies. Wait, that's India.

160
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: There's an actual Rubies. Oh that's sweet, all right, Rubles.

161
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, I told you I don't do research for

162
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: their Oh he's not doing He's not either way. The

163
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: grocery store managers not doing his little good grocery store

164
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: manager thing and just making fifty rubles a month. He's

165
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna get a little kickback, isn't he? And why is

166
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: he going to get a little kickback? Why is he

167
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: going to take a little money off the top? Well,

168
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: here's how this works. Organized crime. You know, I'm obsessed

169
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: with it. I'm a dude, i am keep in mind

170
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: those gigantic, absurdly powerful cartels we love to talk about

171
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: so much on the show. Brandon Darby, our resident cartel expert,

172
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: flat out came on and said, oh, oh, Russia, Russia's

173
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: organized crime is bigger. It's the biggest in the world. Now,

174
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: how could that be? Why would Russia's organized crime be

175
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: so big and so powerful? And they are. There are

176
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: story after story after story of them coming in areas

177
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: where there's already established organized crime and taking over. How

178
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: is that possible? Well, this is how it's possible. You see,

179
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: they existed clear back under the Tsars, and then Russia

180
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: had a Communist revolution where the Communies took over. And

181
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: here's the funny thing about communism, police states and things

182
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: like that. Yes, they're horrific, absolutely horrific. Nobody would ever

183
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: want to live under such a regime. But if you

184
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: have to say something nice about them, they're actually very

185
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: hard on crime. There's very little, especially street crime in

186
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: like North Korea. Now granted you'd you don't want to

187
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: live there, but if you got to say something nice,

188
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: is very little of it. And why is that. It's

189
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: because those all right guys in government, guys in charge

190
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: of an all powerful government, they're not going to share

191
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: power with you. Benito Mussolini's famous for this. He came

192
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: into power and he didn't even hardly start arresting all

193
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: the Italian mafia guys. He just started killing them all. Stalin,

194
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, not exactly warm and fuzzy on

195
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: organized crime. Stalin and the people who came after him

196
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: were very hard on Russian organized crime. And so what happened. One,

197
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: they got to be very very very very smart, very

198
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: sharp with how they do their business. That's one. Two,

199
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,239
Speaker 1: they really began to hone their skills in the gulags,

200
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: in the communist gulags. And they again, this will be

201
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: hard for you and I to get because we don't

202
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: live in this environment. They called themselves thieves, and not

203
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: in any way as a bad thing. In fact, if

204
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: you would work your way up to become one of

205
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: the Russian organized crime bosses. You were called a thief

206
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: in law, that's what you were called. And there is

207
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: a code, and I think it's like twenty items, maybe

208
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: fifteen items. There is an honor code among the thieves,

209
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: and it is it's like its own religion. You will

210
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: teach the next generation of thieves how to properly be

211
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: a thief. Now that sounds absurd to you and I,

212
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: but again, you and I didn't grow up under this

213
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: kind of government where you have to steal or you

214
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: don't survive. Russian organized crime is so powerful and so

215
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: advanced because they cut their teeth under the commies. Now

216
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: back to the grocery store guy. What this has to

217
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: do with the grocery store guys? This? Wow, the Russian

218
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: organized crime guy is still going to want a little

219
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: cut of that business. That's how they do business. Hate

220
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: for something to happen to your grocery store, even though

221
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: it's state runs. So he's not an idiot. He's just

222
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna go cut a deal with the manager. Here's the deal.

223
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Instead of reporting ninety thousand rubles a month in profit,

224
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: you're going to report eighty thousand rubles a month in profit,

225
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna take five, and you're gonna give

226
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: me five. Now, what I just gave you is one

227
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: simple example, a true example, and that was all of

228
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, all of it. How do you even

229
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: wrap your mind around that? They tell stories a fruit

230
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: and I forget which one I was listening to. They

231
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: tell stories about a market, an illegal market that existed

232
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: under that regime, the size of a football stadium and

233
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: most of its underground. Imagine you're back to school shopping,

234
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: which you're undoubtedly about to do. Imagine, instead of running

235
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: down to the local target, Walmart, whatever it may be,

236
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: you get the kiddos out, throw some shoes and socks on,

237
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: on whatever you can afford, and you go for a

238
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: walk down a couple blocks down the sidewalk. And then

239
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: you see this set of stairs, almost like it's leading

240
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: down to a subway, and you take the kiddos without

241
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: a second thought, and you walk them right down to

242
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of the stairs, lead your way through a

243
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: couple tunnels, and boom, you find yourself in a gigantic

244
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: underground area where everything is being sold, from cocaine and

245
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: hookers to back to school pencils, and pens. No, Chris, no,

246
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound awesome. All right, it actually does sound awesome,

247
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: But that's not it's not we're not talking about that

248
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: right now. But imagine that that's that's not something from

249
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: the movies. That's how people lived, millions of them, and

250
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: that's just how you grew up. Now, what impression does

251
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: that make on you morality wise? If you're a child,

252
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: Because you're having these talks with your parents, average children

253
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: are curious. You don't, mommy, why are we going down here?

254
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing at the government stores. Sweetie, we have

255
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: to come down and get these or else you won't

256
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: have back to school clothes. Oh okay, Now, what what

257
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: kind of mentality does that put into your head as

258
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: a child about out official authority, police, the government in general.

259
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: It's part of the reason they're so advanced when it

260
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: comes to crime. Oh when did I mention? Once that

261
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Soviet Union broke up, once the Commies were gone, guess

262
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: what else happened? Do you know what else happened? Well,

263
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. If America fell or broke up,

264
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: as I want to do, if America broke up into

265
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: three or four different countries tomorrow, what do you think

266
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: would happen with the United States military? Obviously you would

267
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: have to assume it would get split up. Right, this

268
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: country is this part this former part of the US

269
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: is gonna take that much and these guys are gonna

270
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: take that much. Oh, they got an extra year craft carrier.

271
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: That's nice, and these guys are gonna take that. But

272
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: do you think say the budget, let's call it a

273
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: trillion dollars? Do you think that it's not a trillion,

274
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: but let's call it a trillion dollars? Make it a

275
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: nice round number we can all understand. Now, let's say

276
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: the American military budget is a trillion dollars and then

277
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: they America breaks up? What happens? Hang on, do I

278
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: sound a little extra peppi today? No? I did not

279
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: have an extra cup of coffee. I've stopped doing that.

280
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: I have an EBB sleep, and you can have an

281
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: EBB sleep. It is not pool. It is a wearable,

282
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: a wearable, drug free solution that you put on your

283
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: head and it gets you incredible sleep every single night.

284
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: Because I know why you can't sleep, same reason I

285
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: used to not be able to sleep. You lay down

286

293
00:22:44,960 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: used to promo code jesse twenty five bucks off. Here's

294
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: the thing. If the military, United States military broke up,

295
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: what happens to all the weapons? Have you ever asked

296
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: yourself that? Because that's a reality. We don't. We don't

297
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: think about it because, again, mercifully, we've lived in such

298
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: a modern nation for so long. It's wonderful here. Certainly

299
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: not corruption free, I'd never say anything like that, but

300
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: relatively corruption free. When our military gets rid of weapons,

301
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: we either dispose of them properly or we sell them

302
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: to terrorists. Oh solves stop. We can bring up other stuff. Quit,

303
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, okay, United States of America just

304
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: broke up. We have all this military equipment, tanks, weapons, bombs, rockets, planes, ships,

305
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: what happens to them? Some of them are going to

306
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: go to the new nation for sure. But obviously the

307
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: new nations are not going to have near the military

308
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: budget you're starting out. I mean, the military budgets are

309
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: going to be slashed. So do you think you're going

310
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: to take that nuclear submarine and put it out by

311
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: the recycling being on Wednesdays and hope they pick it up?

312
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. What do you think happens to them? Well,

313
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: allow me to explain, because we already know. You see,

314
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: when the Soviet Union broke up, all these different leaders,

315
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: all these different generals, they began to churn out they're

316
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: only illegal goods. You're a general, you're in charge of

317
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine Palms Military Base America breaks up, you're kind

318
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: of in limbo. You're kind of getting orders. You're not

319
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: in orders. You've lived again, I'm not morally indicting these

320
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: people because you've lived in a horrifically corrupt, backstabbing, murderous

321
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: society your entire life. But man, this is a warehouse

322
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: full of cruise missiles. You know what, I bet they

323
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: don't even know or care that these are here. I

324
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: do have these men under my command. I could let

325
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: somebody know, or I can load all these things in

326
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: the back of a truck, drive them somewhere, put the

327
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: word out that that these things are on sale for

328
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: ten million dollars a piece. Once I'm done selling them

329
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: to whoever, I don't care, I'll go ahead and retire

330
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: on a beach with the Swedish bikini team. And it

331
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: happened all over the place, illegal weapons all over the place.

332
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: And who do you think pounced on an industry like that,

333
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: The mafia, The Russian mafia. So here's where we are.

334
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: The Russian mafia is now fabulously trained because they had

335
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: to exist under the communes, fabulously armed, vicious, beyond belief,

336
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: and they offer goods and services people want and need.

337
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: Because the truth is, this post communist collapse in Russia,

338
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: it's still sucked for the people in Russia because the oligarchs,

339
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: the very very rich people in Russia, not that many

340
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: of them either bought up everything. There's a great book

341
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend you read on this. It's fascinating

342
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: called Once upon a Time in Russia, Absolutely fascinating. The

343
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: levels of corruption that it's azing, it is amazing, complete

344
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Wild West assassinations, everything else, the Wild West, and those

345
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: worlds merge and Now this was in the nineteen nineties.

346
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: They estimated, I forget who the FBI guy was. An

347
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: FBI guy estimated that the Russian mafia rand Get this,

348
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: I'm not making this number up. Two thirds of the

349
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Russian economy was run by the Russian mob astounding, isn't it.

350
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: And from this environment we had a man and emerge,

351
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: a man named Alexander the Great. If you're looking at

352
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: the radio a little confused right now, it's because it's

353
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: not that Alexander the Great. I fooled you with his nickname.

354
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: That was his nickname though, Alexander Sola nick a man

355
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: you have probably never heard of before, but I wish

356
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: you had, because he's awesome in the absolutely horrific murderer

357
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of way being awesome. Look, he didn't kill me,

358
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: He didn't kill anyone I know her love or anyone

359
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: you know her love. But just hear me out on this.

360
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: You know that I read a lot about history. I

361
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: watched a lot of documentaries about history. I listened to

362
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: a lot of podcasts on history. People ask me a

363
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: lot what movies do you think they should make? And

364
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: I have a laundry, so you know what, Chris, we

365
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: need to start a list of the movies we think

366
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: they should make off these wild history stories. We tell

367
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: what Chris said, the movie forty seven Ronin bombed at

368
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: the box office. That's true, But just because somebody blows

369
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: the telling of the story doesn't mean it shouldn't be told.

370
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: It could have been good. I didn't blow the telling

371
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: of the story just because they happened to screw it up.

372
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I made the story sweet. No, I did not watch

373
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: the movie forty seven Roan, and I don't don't. I

374
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: should watch it because I love the story. I honestly

375
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: think I've read different accounts of it, like fifteen different accounts,

376
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: So I should watch the movie. But then I'll be

377
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: that guy, Chris. If I watched the movie, I'll be

378
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: the guy ruining it for everybody, even though I make

379
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: it a point not to do that. I'll look to

380
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: the wife and be like, that's actually not how the

381
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: original story went, and then she'll just look at me

382
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: like I want you to die right now. And I

383
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: don't blame her, blame her at all anyway, quitnes to me, Chris.

384
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of We're in the middle of

385
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: our great story. If I had to pick somebody they'd

386
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: make a movie after. I'm not saying this guy would

387
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: be number one on my list. Obviously I'd be number

388
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: one on my lit what but this guy would be

389
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: up there in the history of the world. Alexander solo

390
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: nick he is. He's a cartoon character. It doesn't seem real.

391
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: And here's look, here's the story, all right, this is

392
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: the story. The guy was born in nineteen sixty all right,

393
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 1: still Communist Russia. He's born in Siberia, because of course

394
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: he's born in Siberia. It's actually on like the border

395
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: between Siberia and the rest of Russia. But for the

396
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: purpose of my story, we're gonna call it Siberia because

397
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: they think it actually qualifies as that by all accounts.

398
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: This is what's wild to me. Has a relatively normal childhood,

399
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: as far as normal father, his mother, and I'm about

400
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: to make a bunch of guesses here. His mother was

401
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a gymnastics coach. That's not a guess, but I'm going

402
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: to guess that Alexander Solnik grew up in a household

403
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: that well strict would not properly describe it. This is

404
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: why I say that my wife was a gymnast and

405
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean like something she did on the side.

406
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: She was on the Canadian national team. She got a

407
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: full ride scholarship to University of Arizona and made it

408
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: to nationals in that several times. Like this woman was

409
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: a gymnast and if you ask her for very long

410
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: about why she was able to excel on top of

411
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: all the hard work and toughness and stuff like that

412
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: that comes with gymnastics, she had a Russian coach and

413
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: she will tell you Russian coaches dominate that industry for

414
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: a reason. Russian gymnastics coaches are vicious beyond belief how vicious. Well,

415
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you just a little story she told me.

416
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Hang out with that. Is he smarter than everyone who knows?

417
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: Does he think so? Yeah? The Jesse Kelly Shaw Simply

418
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Safe has changed home security. And I'll be honest with you,

419
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: I think they've changed the whole industry. I think you're

420
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: going to see the entire home security industry change because

421
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: of what's Simply Safe is done. People were tired of

422
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: the old model, high prices, pushy or lousy customer service

423
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: in contracts. Who wants to sign a contract? Look, I'm

424
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: over around, I adjust my thinking I change things all

425
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: the time. Oh, but I can't do that with the

426
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: other security company because I'm locked into a three year contract.

427
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. Three years I was locked

428
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: in Simply Safe, totally straightforward, no pushy salespeople get online,

00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: Starting at fifteen bucks a month, you got a simply

00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Safe dot com slash jesse. That's simply safe dot com

433
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: slash jesse that gets you free shipping and a sixty

434
00:33:47,360 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: day risk free trial. Here's just a little story from

435
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: the old ball and chains gymnastics coach when she was

436
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: a child. And when I say child, people, I mean

437
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: child twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old. You know the balance

438
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: beam and gymnastics, right the girls you see him up

439
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: there and the Olympics and they're doing the little flippy

440
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: things and the little foot out things. I don't know,

441
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: I don't look. I didn't learn anything about it. I

442
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: only I only read her because she was hot. All right. Well,

443
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: this coach, this goes, really wanted them to get focused

444
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: on that balance beam, really wanted them to stay on

445
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: that balance being this is the firstand story people. So

446
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: instead of just setting up some mats around the balance

447
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: beam in case they fall and practice time, he set

448
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: up chairs, the foldable steel chairs. Oh wait, I forgot

449
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: to mention he set the foldable steel chairs up upside down.

450
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: That is a Russian gymnastics coach, a little sadistic, extremely sadistic.

451
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: You bet cruel. Yep, you want your kid going through it?

452
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Does that produce some world world class athletes?

453
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: You bet it does, You bet it does. So I

454
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: took a lot of liberty with that part of the

455
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: story because everything I read on Alexander Solnik it, they

456
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: all glossed over that part. And maybe it's just because

457
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: of my personal experience, I should say, my wife's personal

458
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: experience with it. I bet you money that had something

459
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: to do with how the man turned out. Just a guess,

460
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Just a guess. Oh and as a brief side note,

461
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: because I forgot to mention it earlier, because this is

462
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 1: going to be important. Remember when I was talking about

463
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: the Russian mob and how they ran everything, you know,

464
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: one of the main things they ran in Russia all

465
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: over the place, martial arts, gyms, wrestling, judo, boxing, whatever,

466
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: the case may be, they found them to be great moneymakers.

467
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: They found them to be great places to recruit if

468
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: you find a particularly talented young student. Bringing us way

469
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: back to Alexander's childhood, Alexander, well, some people just excel

470
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: at violence now, unlike other people. Again, he's almost like

471
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: a movie character. He was really quiet in class, didn't

472
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: cause a lot of trouble in school. In fact, was

473
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: an extremely advanced student. We'll get to that in a

474
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: little while. This guy's not some dummy, not just some

475
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: leg breaker. And he starts to get into wrestling, and

476
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: it turns out he's dominant, and he starts to get

477
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: into judo, and it turns out he's dominant. And he

478
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: starts to get into boxing, and it turns out he's dominant,

479
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: and he starts to get into karate, and it turns

480
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: you're picking up on a pattern here. The guy is

481
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: an exceptionally intelligent athlete, a combat athlete. And when I

482
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: say combat athlete, we're talking he's winning regional titles at

483
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: things like judo. He's going undefeated in certain places. Now,

484
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: young man like this needs some direction in life, and

485
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: there aren't a ton of opportunities in the Soviet Union.

486
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: At this time, he chooses to join the military. Now,

487
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: the Russian military is a tough nut to crack. I

488
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: don't fully understand it because there are so many different

489
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: parts of it and ways they merge with each other.

490
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll kind of merge with the spy agencies, and

491
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: sometimes they're just domestics. Sometimes they're just foreign Sometimes the

492
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: Spetsnaz the spec ops guys are full spetsnazz. Sometimes they're

493
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: I mean, half spects. And the Spetsnadz guys are insane.

494
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: They're absolutely insane. Most of these countries like this that

495
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: don't have a huge military budget all the Russia has

496
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: a big military budget, but nothing like ours. They make

497
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: up for, or i should say, try to make up

498
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: for the lack of range time, because range time costs

499
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: money with cruelty like in Spetsnaz. I don't know if

500
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: you've ever seen any of the few videos of it

501
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: they'll release. When you're when you're going through your training

502
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: trying to get to be one, they'll suck you right

503
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: in the face. Let's walk up and punch you out.

504
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: There are rumors, and you never know how much of

505
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: this is true. There are rumors they will fill up

506
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: a miniature room full of cow guts and blood and

507
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: make you wade through it trying to fight people in

508
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: it and things. I mean, they're cruel, the spets And

509
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: as this part I do know. They have this game

510
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: where there is a trench, only it's not a straight

511
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: line trench. The trench is narrow on one end and

512
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: get slowly wider as you go along. You understand what

513
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Am I laying this out right for you?

514
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: Think of like a triangle looking thing, only it's not

515
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: just the trench. There are spikes in the bottom of

516
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: the trench. And one of the things they do is

517
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: they routinely, sometimes drunk, put on heavy, heavy packs and

518
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: jump across the trench. And you were thought of as

519
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: more of a man. The further down the line you go,

520
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: the wider the trench gets. Yeah, not exactly an injury.

521
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: You want to call home to mom with heya. You're

522
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: never completely ready to adopt a teen for late night's writing.

523
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: English papers are your teen's music taste for dinners where

524
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: they talk more on their phone than with you. For

525
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: the first time they call your mom. You're never completely

526
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: ready to adopt a teen, and you can't imagine the reward.

Speaker 1: A message brought to you by AARP and the ad Council.

539
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: Back to Alexander Solik, he joins the military, and it

540
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: gets a little fuzzy after this exactly how it goes,

541
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: but let's just put it this way. He's given high

542
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: high marks because on top of being somebody you do

543
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: not want to get in a fist fight with, this

544
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: man apparently is an excellent shot with both hands. I

545
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: guess he was ambidextrous. Like I said, they gotta make

546
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: a freaking movie about this guy. He gets specially selected

547
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: by the officer over him, who was a mentor to him,

548
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: to go to this special operations slash police unit. And

549
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: that's going really really well. It's an anti terrorism unit.

550
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: He's learning all kinds of new tricks of the trade.

551
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: Life is good, right, I'm violent, I'm in a violent organization.

552
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: I have a mission in life. It's all gravy. He's

553
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: on a gravy train with fiscuit wheel Chris, except, I mean,

554
00:42:52,920 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: sometimes things go sideways. Hang. Jesse Kelly returns next. This

555
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show. Alexander soul Nick, Alexander the Great.

556
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: He was churning and burning just fine in the Russian military,

557
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: even got picked for a special unit. Not a man

558
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: you want to tangle with. I know you're gonna find

559
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: this shocking, but by this point in time he had

560
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: already broken his self defense instructor's jaw. The dude is

561
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: an absolute terminator. Not the type of person you want

562
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: to come across in a dark alley. Now gets picked

563
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: for the specialized unit, and his mentor, who had apparently

564
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: kept him in check, retires moves along. Good for the mentor.

565
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: Not so good for Alexander. Alexander finds himself in a bar.

566
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: Look he's Russian, okay, finds himself in a bar and

567
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: gets three other Russian soldiers walking in there with him.

568
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: These three Russian soldiers are fresh back from Afghanistan. This

569
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: is during that time where Russians were having such a brutal,

570
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: brutal conflict in Afghanistan. And thank goodness, we learned from

571
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: their mistakes and we never got bogged down there. Man,

572
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: I'd feel so stupid, huh. Anyway, these Russian soldiers are

573
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: elaborating a lot on their military tales. Alexander had not

574
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: been to Afghanistan, he hadn't been to combat over there,

575
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: yet they essentially told him he was a worthless pile

576
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: of crap for not having gone. Then one of these

577
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 1: three men made the horrific mistake of placing his hand

578
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: on Alexander Solnik. Apparently that was something you did not do.

579
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: That guy promptly got his nose and teeth broke with

580
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: one punch. He then grabs the second guy. Apparently this

581
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: is the way the story goes. He grabs the second guy,

582
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: breaks his arm as he's hitting the third guy with

583
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: the broken arm and then breaks the third guy's shin

584
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: by kicking it, then proceeds to beat the living daylights

585
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: out of all three of these guys in the bar,

586
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: all by himself. I don't believe. As the story goes,

587
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: they landed a punch, hardly broke a sweat, walks out

588
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: the door. Now, even in the Russian military, there is

589
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: such a thing as too violent. Alexander Solnik most definitely

590
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: was on that list. He gets kicked out, he goes

591
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: and starts working on my life. I'm not making this

592
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: up in a morgue. He also, because that's who he is.

593
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: Continue used to train train at the local MMA boxing

594
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: judo gems. And who did we say owned all those

595
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: boxing judo gems but the Russian organized crime. They come

596
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: across this young man who is beating the daylights out

597
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: of everybody in the gyms, and we don't know all

598
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: the little things that happen, but we can guess. Right,

599
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: this is the part I'm feeling in the blanks because

600
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: this is how it worked back then. Oh wow, this

601
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: guy looks like he knows how to handle himself. Let's

602
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: have him go. Let this person who owes us money

603
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: know that he needs to pay that money. Okay, he's

604
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: let him know. Now let's send him back and let's

605
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: have him say it a little more forcefully. You know

606
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: how it works. You've seen the movies. That's how it works.

607
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: Starts out with some intimidation, ends with beating somebody up

608
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: if they think you're the type of guy who can

609
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: handle it. It eventually morphs into you shoot people in

610
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: the face and or strangling them. So we don't know

611
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: how he got from recruited in the gym to his

612
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: big assignment, his first big one, but we do know

613
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: his big assignment was awesome. And this is what it was.

614
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: He was offered. I forget the amount. It was something

615
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: something like a hundred grand or something like that to

616
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: go kill a mafia boss, another Russian mafia boss. This

617
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: was not some pudgy little accountant. This mafia boss had

618
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: five bodyguards with machine guns around him at all time.

619
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: And like I said, straight out of the movies, Alexander

620
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: drives to I think it was Moscow if I remember right,

621
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 1: drives to where this mafia boss has an upcoming dental

622
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: appointment appointment. He drives. He doesn't fly because he doesn't

623
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: want any records of himself he stays in some local

624
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: like hostile where he'll blend in with other people who

625
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: look like him. He actually gets there a few weeks

626
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: ahead of when the dental appointment is, so he makes

627
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: himself an appointment at the dentist's office so he can

628
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: get the exact layout of the dentist's office where his

629
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: targets having a killing. I told you it was cool, right.

630
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: He figures out there's only one dentist chair in this

631
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: dennist's office, and he eyeballs everything, including the building across

632
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: the street. He goes to the building across the street

633
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 1: and finds himself in a storage unit with a perfect

634
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: lookout down on the window of the dentist office chair

635
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: across the street forty meters away. They say, Alexander Leaves

636
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: continues to scout. Alexander gets his hands on a sniper rifle,

637
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: and remember this is a man who can handle a

638
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: sniper rifle. Shows up on the day of the dentist

639
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: appointment for the mafia boss shows up a couple hours

640
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: ahead of time with his duffel bag that has his

641
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: disassembled sniper rifle and it's straight out of the movies.

642
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: Gets up to the room, locks himself in, assembles his

643
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: sniper rifle, and then waits. This part's always weirded me

644
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: out a little. I don't know why waits for two

645
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: hours for his guy to show up. What are your

646
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: nerves doing during that two hours? Right, it's one thing,

647
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: you know, crime, a passion or something like that. I

648
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: would think any of us could would be capable of

649
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: pulling off something like that. I mean, hopefully. No. I

650
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: don't want your killing people out there, but what does

651
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: it look like for two hours sitting and waiting and

652
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: not killing a bunny? You know you're not deer hunting.

653
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: You're killing a man who's surrounded by people who will

654
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 1: very much try to kill you back. The man does

655
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: show up, shows up, surrounded by bodyguards, makes his way

656
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: up to the dentist's office, lays down in the dentist's chair.

657
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: Alexander from across the street with a suppressed sniper rifle,

658
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: takes aim, fires and hits him in the top of

659
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: his head because the top of his head was facing

660
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: the window. He waited till the dentist was turned away,

661
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: so he didn't hit the dentistncus he cared about the dentist.

662
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: He just didn't want to mess up his target, shoots

663
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: him in the top of the head. Only get this,

664
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: the dentist window doesn't shatter. It's not a shatterable window.

665
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: The bullet just kind of shoots right through it, so

666
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: the dentist doesn't know what's happening. Alexander shoots the guy

667
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: another three or four more times, essentially blows the front

668
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: of his face off. The dentist finally turns around because

669
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: he was grabbing a tool and thinks, Ah, what would

670
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: be going through your head as a dentist. Oh, that

671
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: novocaine is strong, right, what's going through your head as

672
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: a dentist? Alexander, apparently, according to the story, calmly disassembles

673
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 1: his sniper rifle, loads it back in a duffel bag,

674
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: drives back home, collects his winnings, and we've gone on

675
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: a little long today. But let's just say he didn't

676
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: stop there. Let's just say the nickname he was given

677
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: after that was Superkiller, and he ended up with over

678
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: forty contract kills. That doesn't count the ones that were

679
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: other other than contracts. The next big one he got

680
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: after this was another mob boss who had killed lots

681
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: of the assassins sent to get him because yet he

682
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: was surrounded by highly trained bodyguards. Yeah, Alexander still walked

683
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: into this guy's nightclub twin suppressed pistols under his coat.

684
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: He had special pockets sewn into his coat for extra

685
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: magaz scenes. Pop pop pop pop pop kills all three bodyguards,

686
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: and the Russian mob boss turns around and leaves unscathed.

687
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: Only he gets arrested. Kind of hang on feeling a

688
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: little stocky, follow like a subscribe on social at Jesse

689
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: Kelly DC. Well it just happened to me again this morning.

690
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: The one drawback of my Raycon earbuds is they're so

691
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: small that people don't realize I have them in. I

692
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: love that about them too. I hate having something with

693
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: wires or these big ugly things sticking on my ear,

694
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: but these are so small people can't tell I have

695
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: them in, and so I'll get this impression that somebody

696
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: I just walked by or something I'm standing by is

697
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: talking to me, and I look and their lips are moving,

698
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: but I can't tell because I got my racont of

699
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: your buds in and I'm jamming out to music and

700
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: they're comfortable. I have things in my ears for hours

701
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: a day. As soon as I'm done off the radio,

702
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: I pop my Raconto your buds in first thing this morning,

703
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: when Chris walked in Raconto, your buds were in. Go

704
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: get yourself some go to by raycon dot com slash jesse.

705
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: That's by Raycon dot com slash jesse. That gets you

706
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: fifteen percent off the already great price. Go get yourself

707
00:54:37,320 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: some racon of your buds. The man gets arrested, he escapes.

708
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: He escapes with the help of the Russian mafia who

709
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: paid off a guard. He has given another contract. He

710
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: is fulfilling these contracts continually. Now here's a part that

711
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing, but apparently it's true.

712
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: He gets arrested again. He gets sent to a really

713
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: bad prison for really bad men, because that's what he is.

714
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: The legend goes that he got in a fight with

715
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: twelve men. Now this is the legend. It is often repeated. Okay,

716
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: so I'm not the one saying it, But the legend goes,

717
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: he beats the living daylights out of all twelve of them.

718
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: Apparently they all had shovels. He manages to get a

719
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: hold of one of the shovels and he comes out

720
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 1: battered and bloodied, but beats them all up at once

721
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: twelve men. I don't tend to believe that there's nobody

722
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: on this planet they can take on twelve full grown men.

723
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: But you never know, something goes wrong. Maybe a couple

724
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: of them are ducking and covering. Like I said, they

725
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: need to make a movie out of this guy, because

726
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: that is part of his story. One last hit. I'll

727
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: elaborate for you before we move on here, because I

728
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: can talk about this guy all day long because I

729
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: love this when it's awesome. He had yet another mob boss.

730
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason I think this guy's awesome,

731
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 1: even though he's a psychopathic killer and not a great

732
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: human being. He was always killing like Russian mob bosses.

733
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, straight out of the movies. It's straight out

734
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: of the movies. He had to kill another Russian mob boss.

735
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: This time he got some help. He got some buddies

736
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: to park some vans around the Russian mob boss's house.

737
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: They radioed Alexander when the mob boss left. Then the

738
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: van would drive in front of the mob boss's car.

739
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: Alexander would pull in behind it. Front van stopped back

740
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: van Alexander's in stops. Alexander gets out with a rocket

741
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: propelled grenade launcher in his hands and blows up the car,

742
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: killing the dude guys. Awesome. Not totally awesome though, because

743
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: he did he did getting a shootout with some cops

744
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: and kill seven of them. He's not a man to

745
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: be trifled with. Now. The problem with that life is this, well,

746
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: let's be honest, there's probably more than one problem with

747
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: that life. But one of the major problems with that life,

748
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: as great as it is for the movies to go

749
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: around killing criminals and bad people, is eventually the criminals

750
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: and bad people that you've killed are going to have

751
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: some friends and or family who wants you dead. Also

752
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: the people you work for, because he only ever worked

753
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: for one criminal group this whole time, the people you

754
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: work for are also not really good people, maybe the

755
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: kind of people who can be bought off. Alexander escaped

756
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: to a compound he built for himself in Athens, Greece.

757
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: He knew the heat was on. He was done with prison,

758
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: he was done with that life, even though rumor as

759
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: he started his own OFFI and Athens, but he was

760
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: done with all that until one day a good friend

761
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: of his shows up and is welcomed into his home.

762
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: The trouble is this good friend is also a contract

763
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: killer with a ton of kills under his belt. Alexander

764
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: turns around one day ends up with a garret around

765
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: his throat. Dead. Maybe. The reason I say maybe is

766
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: the body shows up with obviously the garrett wounds around

767
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: the neck, but the body also has a bunch of

768
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: very very strange acid injuries on it, including to the fingers,

769
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: so they're unable to finger print the body properly. Alexander

770
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: Solnik officially declared dead. There are many many people, including

771
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: high high people and the Russian police, who do not

772
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: believe he is dead. They believe he faked his own death.

773
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: And that is the saga of Alexander Superkiller Solonik. Why

774
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: did I tell that story, Well, I saw this headline

775
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: social media heroes. The headline is this is from military

776
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: dot com. Afghantine and her brother fought the Taliban. This

777
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: is a sixteen year old girl and her younger brother

778
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: was twelve years old. They had their parents killed. Once

779
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: their parents were killed, these two children were rocking and

780
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: rolling Ak forty seven's and stacking Taliban bodies. Let me

781
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: let me repeat myself, twelve and sixteen years old, A

782
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: sixteen year old girl? What's that sixteen year old girl?

783
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: You know? Do maybe it's your daughter and neighbor's daughter

784
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: cousin a little bit of Instagram? Look at my funny faces?

785
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, I get a People guys like Alexander Solnik

786
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: are very much products of their environment. We are all

787
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: products of our environment. You don't pick up in AK

788
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: forty seven when your parents die and start stacking bodies

789
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: when you're sixteen unless you are brought up in that

790
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: environment with a certain mentality. I saw this poll. I

791
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: don't have it in front of me that the majority

792
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: of white people in America think America is a racist nation.

793
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: That does not happen by accident. That is the environment

794
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: we are raising people in in this country. We are

795
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: raising a bunch of self hating losers who will not

796
01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: be able to sustain this society at all. Young people today,

797
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: I know because I have a neighborhood full of them.

798
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I talk to my neighbors all the time. Young people today,

799
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: even the Republican ones, they think climate change is about

800
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: to kill us all. They think racism is an evil

801
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: plague in America. Today. Young people today have been raised

802
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: in a culture, a culture that tells them this country sucks,

803
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: and people, when this next generation comes up, it's over

804
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: if we don't do something about it, and it has

805
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: to be culture wide. What can you do about it?

806
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: It starts at home first and foremost. Make dang sure

807
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: your kids know about the true history of this country,

808
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: know who they are, and are strong enough to withstand

809
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the unbelievable amount of pressure they're about to be under,

810
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: because that's where so much of this comes from. All

811
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: their friends are saying it, their video games are saying it. Oh,

812
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: likek a Snapchat and Instagram saying it. Oh, my favorite

813
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: singer saying it. Oh that professional athlete who has a

814
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: jersey on he's saying it. Oh, the news is saying it.

815
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: You know how difficult it is for grown, secure adults

816
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: to withstand that kind of pressure. Now think about an

817
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: insecure sixteen seventeen year old with pimples in acne or

818
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's the same thing. Prepare your children for

819
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: a cultural war, because I don't care whether you like

820
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: it or not, they will be in one period. And

821
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: not only will they be in one, we need them

822
01:03:54,360 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: to win it. Hang it. You don't have to dip forever.

823
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: You know that, Ryan, you don't have to smoke forever.

824
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,959
Speaker 1: And the reason I say it like that is I

825
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: have been that guy. I've been that guy. I dipped

826
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: for so long, and what would happen is I would

827
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit.

828
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I don't need any help. I'm just

829
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna quit cold turkey. And I would fail time and

830
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: time and time again. I tried things like the patch

831
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I didn't work, gum sunflower seeds. I tried at all.

832
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of finding the right thing to

833
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: help you quit. That's Jake's Mintchew. Go put in your dip.
