Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse Kelly Show,
Speaker 1: another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday.
Speaker 1: And now we finished things up, shall we? In case,
Speaker 1: I guess there's a chance you're just now joining us
Speaker 1: for the very first time this week. In the second
Speaker 1: hour of every show so far this week, I have
Speaker 1: been doing just a little history series on Napoleon's invasion,
Speaker 1: disastrous invasion and retreat from Russia. If you're just jumping
Speaker 1: in now, that's fine. I'll give a thirty second recap
Speaker 1: in a second. But you've already missed three days of this.
Speaker 1: The good news is the podcast of the show is
Speaker 1: completely free. You don't have to I don't even think
Speaker 1: you have to do anything. You just press download on
Speaker 1: your phone. It'll download right there. You can go listen
Speaker 1: to it iHeart Spotify iTunes hour two of the show
Speaker 1: all week long. Then you'll get all the background to
Speaker 1: what we're about to jump off with right now as
Speaker 1: we wrap up this horrible, horrible little tale. I guess
Speaker 1: it's horrible from the French perspective. From the Russians, Wow,
Speaker 1: it was horrible from there too. Anyway, to recap thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: Napoleon raises the biggest army of the world has ever seen,
Speaker 1: at least in his mind it probably was. He sends
Speaker 1: them into Russia after Alexander and the Russian army. The
Speaker 1: Russians they do a we'll call it a fighting retreat,
Speaker 1: letting the French come into Russian and into Russia. The
Speaker 1: Russians are burning everything down, denying the French water, denying
Speaker 1: the French food, denying the French shelter. Napoleon gets clear
Speaker 1: to Moscow. The Russians basically just let him have it,
Speaker 1: but they leave behind a bunch of arsonists and criminals
Speaker 1: who set Moscow on fire while Napoleon and his troops
Speaker 1: are there, and now the snow is starting to fall.
Speaker 1: Napoleon can't wait in Moscow anymore. His troops do not
Speaker 1: have winter clothes, and it's a long way back home,
Speaker 1: and so they have to turn around and they have
Speaker 1: to take off. There is a quote from Alexander. Remember
Speaker 1: the Russians are the head of all of Russia. As
Speaker 1: Napoleon is leaving Russia, leaving Moscow, I should say, his
Speaker 1: troops starving, depleted, sick, freezing, Remember I told you yesterday
Speaker 1: the Russian troops when they pulled out of Moscow. They
Speaker 1: didn't just pull out and go sun themselves on a
Speaker 1: beach somewhere that'd be tough to find in Russia. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they pulled out of Russia, or they pulled out of
Speaker 1: Moscow and they started training and preparing and bringing in
Speaker 1: fresh troops. And Alexander says, at this time, as Napoleon
Speaker 1: is fleeing, quote, now is the moment my campaign begins
Speaker 1: pretty dominous. I mentioned the French they did not want
Speaker 1: to retreat along the exact same line they'd come into
Speaker 1: Russia on, for the simple fact they had already pillaged
Speaker 1: everything along that line. There's no food left, there's no
Speaker 1: water left, there's nothing else to take, there's nothing to
Speaker 1: sustain us. We have to find a different route back home.
Speaker 1: They had It's a town. I won't go into the
Speaker 1: details of the whole story. So they marched towards this town,
Speaker 1: which will allow them to take a different route back home.
Speaker 1: But this rested and refitted Russian army gets there first.
Speaker 1: They are waiting for them at this town. They fight,
Speaker 1: they fight hard, and have to back away. The Russians
Speaker 1: threw up the roadblock. Now the French are forced to
Speaker 1: retreat along the exact same line. Now pause, So we
Speaker 1: discuss this again, a continuing theme and always will be
Speaker 1: in war men especially, I'm definitely this way. I don't
Speaker 1: want to think about politics. I don't want to think
Speaker 1: about votes in popularity and these things. In fact, when
Speaker 1: people even bring them up, I'm just this is personal
Speaker 1: about me. When people even bring those things up when
Speaker 1: it comes to war, I get completely annoyed. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: here we go. Oh okay, public opinion. Oh I have
Speaker 1: to worry about this. I have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: Why do I have to worry about that. I'm out
Speaker 1: here fighting and dying. Just let me go. But annoyed
Speaker 1: as you or I may be, there is a political
Speaker 1: side to every war, and always has been. Yes, Napoleon
Speaker 1: is by a country mile, the most powerful man on
Speaker 1: planet Earth at this time, a brilliant commander, a man
Speaker 1: in charge of very large armies. He's won battle after
Speaker 1: battle after battle after battle. That I need to remind
Speaker 1: you of something we discussed earlier this week. Back home,
Speaker 1: and when I say back home, remember Napoleon has conquered
Speaker 1: so much of continental Europe at this time, France, Italy,
Speaker 1: All these places. Back home, things are not good. To
Speaker 1: put it mildly, Napoleon is not only gone. Napoleon on
Speaker 1: his way out the door, and then every day since
Speaker 1: then has had to legally pillage his own countryside to
Speaker 1: get as much material and food and medical supplies and horses.
Speaker 1: He's yanking as much stuff as he possibly can out
Speaker 1: of Europe and pushing it as far and fast to
Speaker 1: his army as he possibly can. And remember, I told
Speaker 1: you all the way back at the beginning, the armies
Speaker 1: that were marching towards the Russian border, in the very beginning,
Speaker 1: they were already raping and pillaging and getting in trouble
Speaker 1: and deserting. Now, how bad is that the situation back
Speaker 1: home has not improved at all? And the natives are restless.
Speaker 1: And one thing king's presidents and everyone else in between
Speaker 1: have had to juggle with over and over and over
Speaker 1: again throughout history is if the people are going hungry,
Speaker 1: if they are not paying the bills, if you will,
Speaker 1: if they're not making ends meet, if their bellies are
Speaker 1: not full, you are going to have rebellion of some
Speaker 1: kind on your hands. You are sure enough there's a
Speaker 1: coup attempt back home. It's called the Malay Coup M
Speaker 1: A L e. T. If you want to look it up.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into it. What's he do?
Speaker 1: What's what's the whole idea behind this whole thing. Well,
Speaker 1: we live in the information age, so it can be
Speaker 1: hard for us to relate. But word travel slow when
Speaker 1: you think about it, at this point in time, word
Speaker 1: travels at the speed of a horse. At the speed
Speaker 1: of a horse. And yes, of course, during this entire
Speaker 1: the speed of a horse. Yes, of course that rhyme quit.
Speaker 1: Of course, Napoleon is constantly in his generals and everyone else.
Speaker 1: They're constantly sending people back and forth back home to
Speaker 1: France with orders, with requests, with this, and so there's
Speaker 1: always horses coming and going from the Russian front back home.
Speaker 1: But think about what we discussed. Remember, I'll come back
Speaker 1: to it again. Remember there were troops that had to
Speaker 1: march twelve one hundred miles before they got to the
Speaker 1: border of Russia. Then they're spread out all over western
Speaker 1: Russia and pushing further and further away from France. How
Speaker 1: long is it taking for the quote latest word to
Speaker 1: get back from the Russian front clear back to Paris.
Speaker 1: It's a long time. Now I want you to think
Speaker 1: about this. What are the two most recent kind of
Speaker 1: wars that we've had to that we've experienced in this country.
Speaker 1: I'll mention three Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Gaza and now this
Speaker 1: Iran business. How many lies have you seen? How many lies?
Speaker 1: How many times? And maybe you even believe one where
Speaker 1: you saw a video an American ship it's got a
Speaker 1: big hole in it, and somebody told you on Facebook
Speaker 1: or whatever it is the Iranians hit one of our
Speaker 1: destroyers with the cruise missile and then someone below will
Speaker 1: be all, that's Ai you what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Remember the Ghost of Kiev. At the very beginning of
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine War, there were all kinds of headlines
Speaker 1: spread about by United States congressman that there was some
Speaker 1: Ukrainian fighter pilot and he was basically maverick from top gun.
Speaker 1: He was up in the skies blowing Russian jets out
Speaker 1: of there. Nobody could kill him. He was indestructible. It
Speaker 1: was all I it's all fake. That's today in war,
Speaker 1: the first casualty is the truth. It's an ancient proverb.
Speaker 1: I don't know who to assign it to, but it's
Speaker 1: an ancient proverb, and it's one hundred percent true. Think
Speaker 1: about what people back home are hearing, and think about
Speaker 1: because it's a time where there's some poverty, where there's
Speaker 1: some uncertainty, where there's unrest all around. Think about how
Speaker 1: susceptible the people were back then to believing the rumors
Speaker 1: they were hearing from the front. What happens? Will they say, oh, napoleon'stead?
Speaker 1: How would you know any better if you're Russian citizen?
Speaker 1: But he's not texting you, he's not posted anything on Twitter.
Speaker 1: How fast would a rumor like that fly? We'll continue
Speaker 1: with this in just a second. Hang on the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday.
Speaker 1: As we wrap up our Napoleon Invasion of Russia's story here,
Speaker 1: Remember though, tomorrow is ask doctor Jesse Friday, and you
Speaker 1: need to get your questions emailed in right now. Ask
Speaker 1: me anything Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. There's a
Speaker 1: coup back home. I'll go ahead and give it away
Speaker 1: cause I don't want to go through all the things.
Speaker 1: In the coup they tell everybody Napoleon's dead in charge.
Speaker 1: Now it is discovered, they do put the coup down?
Speaker 1: Guy's dead. Life is good. Kind of a coup like
Speaker 1: this doesn't necessarily have to be successful to have an
Speaker 1: extreme effect on someone like Napoleon. Napoleon was always concerned
Speaker 1: about political things back home, the unrest level back home.
Speaker 1: And pause to reinforce my point. Alexander the Great, even
Speaker 1: the perfect one, Alexander the Great, as he's out there
Speaker 1: conquering everything he can touch, constantly sending letters and receiving
Speaker 1: letters back home, and so much of the time it's
Speaker 1: is this a coup? Is this guy going to establish
Speaker 1: in the back? It's just something you have to worry
Speaker 1: about when you're off conquering foreign lands. Was already concerned
Speaker 1: about this. He's been concerned about this, and now he
Speaker 1: finds out there's a very legitimate attempt. So he's trying
Speaker 1: to physically survive himself, trying to make sure he comes
Speaker 1: out of Russia with some semblance of an army, and
Speaker 1: trying to make sure by the time he gets back
Speaker 1: to France he even has a throne to go back
Speaker 1: and sit on. The man's probably got some things on
Speaker 1: his mind at the moment, wouldn't you say, Oh, and
Speaker 1: how physically in danger is he well. At one point
Speaker 1: in time during this whole affair, the Russians got physically,
Speaker 1: very very close to killing Napoleon. Took a lot of
Speaker 1: heroic frenchmen surrounding fighting, or Napoleon possibly takes a spear
Speaker 1: in the face, and Napoleon is starting to hear the rumors.
Speaker 1: They're not really rumors, they're facts. The Russians as they
Speaker 1: are descending on the stragg on the strata, the French
Speaker 1: troops who are forging for food, maybe resting too long,
Speaker 1: the Russians are grabbing them and they're torturing them terribly
Speaker 1: for information. They want to know where is this unit,
Speaker 1: where is that unit, where is this? Where is that?
Speaker 1: If you are part of the Grand Army, you very
Speaker 1: much do not want to be taken alive by a
Speaker 1: bunch of Cossacks on horseback who surround you. That's one
Speaker 1: of those kind of what do they say, save the
Speaker 1: last bullet for yourself kind of situations. It's as bad
Speaker 1: as it could possibly get. Napoleon now starts to carry
Speaker 1: poison around for himself should he be captured. That's where
Speaker 1: we're at now. Let's talk about the snowfall and the cold.
Speaker 1: I have been in some serious, serious cold in my life,
Speaker 1: told you these stories before growing up in Montana. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gonna hit fifteen below on you. It just is
Speaker 1: when the weather gets that cold, it hurts to breathe.
Speaker 1: When you breathe in it's like you're breathing in needles. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to explain this to people who've never experienced
Speaker 1: extreme cold. And here's the thing about it. This was
Speaker 1: even me as a kid in good health. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm getting three hot meals a day, good sleep, things
Speaker 1: like that. When you find yourself out in extreme cold
Speaker 1: like that, it becomes really all you can think about.
Speaker 1: It becomes all consuming. You are at such a war,
Speaker 1: trying to survive the cold, thating, nothing else matters, nothing
Speaker 1: else else even enters your head. All there is is
Speaker 1: the cold you're trying to overcome. How cold are we
Speaker 1: talking about? They are finding groups of French soldiers. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying French. Remember there's a bunch of different
Speaker 1: countries here, but they are finding groups of French soldiers
Speaker 1: sitting around a fire. It's the morning, the sun comes up.
Speaker 1: They're sitting around the fire and they're all frozen solid.
Speaker 1: Frozen to death. Blocks of French icemen sitting around a fire.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of winter that has descended on Russia,
Speaker 1: and most of these troops don't even have winter coats.
Speaker 1: Whole units are being wiped out, entire units. You'll have
Speaker 1: a thousand men there one day. Two days later they're gone,
Speaker 1: some killed by cossacks, some killed by wool. Russia has
Speaker 1: packs of wolves, smart, dangerous, deadly killers. What do you
Speaker 1: think a pack of wolves is gonna do against two
Speaker 1: French soldiers kind of snuck in the snow looking around
Speaker 1: for food. Yeah, wolves involved and frostbite. I know it
Speaker 1: may be nearing dinner time for you, depending on where
Speaker 1: you are in the country, but imagine taking off your
Speaker 1: boots and half your foot stays in it in the
Speaker 1: boot just breaks off. Your feet are turning black, You're
Speaker 1: losing fingers. You ever seen a documentary with Korean War
Speaker 1: veterans in it, highly recommend you do. Those guys relyons.
Speaker 1: They'll be watching them talk and oftentimes there's so much
Speaker 1: discoloration on their face, almost like they were burnt or something. Well,
Speaker 1: they were by the frost. And then at some point
Speaker 1: in time being interviewed, he'll try to talk with his
Speaker 1: hands and lift up his hands, and you see all
Speaker 1: these nubs where his fingers and sometimes his entire hand
Speaker 1: used to be. If you're a French soldier, you're in
Speaker 1: the snow, you're being attacked by wolves. If you're captured,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be tortured to death, and your feet are
Speaker 1: breaking off in your boots. At the same time, men
Speaker 1: are simply dying in droves like I can't possibly describe.
Speaker 1: We'll continue in a moment. The Jesse Kelly Show I
Speaker 1: Like It returns next. It is The Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 1: on a magnificent Thursday. Member. If you miss any part
Speaker 1: of the show, you can download the whole thing. iHeart
Speaker 1: Spotify iTunes. I'm gonna get to some more politics here
Speaker 1: in about a half hour from now. We're wrapping up
Speaker 1: our little story about Napoleon's now desperate retreat from Russia.
Speaker 1: Things are happening, and it's all bad if you're part
Speaker 1: of the Grand Army. There's one night I keep mentioning,
Speaker 1: whole units are dying. How many twenty five hundred men
Speaker 1: die in one night trying to cross a river. The
Speaker 1: starvation is so severe the men are eating cats, and
Speaker 1: this is going to be a little hard to hear
Speaker 1: all every bit of it, so just hang with me
Speaker 1: for a second. The men are eating horses, and not
Speaker 1: just the dead ones. Men are so hungry they are
Speaker 1: carving pieces of dead horses, are of alive horses off
Speaker 1: and eating them. I love horses, so that's hard for
Speaker 1: me to hear men are eating each other. Don't think
Speaker 1: that cannibalism is rare in the case of starvation. Cannibalism
Speaker 1: is the human condition. Human beings, when hungry enough, will
Speaker 1: eat other human beings. They just will. Now let's talk
Speaker 1: about this part. I am actually so impressed with the
Speaker 1: Grand Army, and I'll get to exactly why in a moment.
Speaker 1: But here's why. Men when they are this hungry and
Speaker 1: cold and desperate, even some of the toughest, most trained men,
Speaker 1: when they get pushed to a certain point, will oftentimes
Speaker 1: descend into violence and anarchy. It's a your mind almost breaks,
Speaker 1: it goes into human survival mode. And there's a lot
Speaker 1: of that here, don't get me wrong. Some of the
Speaker 1: most desperate, horrible acts you can imagine as men are dying.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that here. But they're racing now,
Speaker 1: and now it's a race. Now the French are racing
Speaker 1: to try to get out of Russia, and the Russians
Speaker 1: are racing to try to wipe them out in a
Speaker 1: big battle. Member, how it's amazing how times have changed.
Speaker 1: The French had spent this entire time trying to surround
Speaker 1: and wipe out the Russians, and now it is the
Speaker 1: exact opposite, as the French are booking it back home,
Speaker 1: the Russians are trying to surround and wipe them out.
Speaker 1: Napoleon gets to a river, tries to get to a
Speaker 1: crossing in the river, and the freaking Russians succeed in
Speaker 1: getting around him and cutting him off. Blocking it off.
Speaker 1: They surround him, but Napoleon finds a way. The French
Speaker 1: fight like lions. Imagine the physical condition they are in.
Speaker 1: They fight like lions and hold off the Russians in
Speaker 1: a big battle. They do not get wiped out. Napoleon
Speaker 1: goes to it himself, goes to a different part of
Speaker 1: the river and finds a way across. Don't think that
Speaker 1: this is some rousing success story, because at this point
Speaker 1: in time, an entire corps of the Grand Army annihilated,
Speaker 1: completely wiped off the face of the planet. They're dying
Speaker 1: by the thousand. We're talking twenty below zero here. After
Speaker 1: this the Russians, honestly, this might be the coldest part
Speaker 1: of it. After this, the Russians, the Russian army leads
Speaker 1: them to the wolves and the peasants. Oh, I probably
Speaker 1: didn't touch on this point. On the retreat. Remember what
Speaker 1: the French were doing the whole way they were invading Russia.
Speaker 1: Remember how they were treating the peasants in the countryside,
Speaker 1: even if they weren't mean about it. Is there a
Speaker 1: nice way to walk into your home and steal all
Speaker 1: the food out of your cupboard, so you and your
Speaker 1: wife starved to death. Now the peasants are being encouraged
Speaker 1: by Russian leadership. Hey, grab a pitch fork, grab a spear,
Speaker 1: grab a sword, steal someone's musket, kill a Frenchman on
Speaker 1: the way out. The peasants are randomly shooting the Russians.
Speaker 1: So you and five of your buddies may have started
Speaker 1: a fire and you're trying to warm your frost bitten
Speaker 1: feet and gear up for another hike towards the river,
Speaker 1: and a shot may ring out and your buddy's brains
Speaker 1: get blown out in the middle of the night by
Speaker 1: a random peasant who then SLINKs back into the forest.
Speaker 1: This is now all the time. I already mentioned the wolves,
Speaker 1: and of course the main force of the Russian Army
Speaker 1: may have stopped, but the Cossacks have not stopped. The
Speaker 1: horseback warriors of Russia slash poland are still butchering the
Speaker 1: Grand Army every single chance they get horse raids with
Speaker 1: experienced horsemen, and it's just the worst thing in the world. Now,
Speaker 1: I wanted to finish this story with this. There's a
Speaker 1: man you should look up worth remembering. Nay Is. His
Speaker 1: last name Marshall Ney. Napoleon had some marshals he thought
Speaker 1: very highly of his top top man. Nay May is
Speaker 1: one of those commanders troops fall in love with. He
Speaker 1: wants to be there mixing it up with his men.
Speaker 1: He wants to be shooting and be shot. May has
Speaker 1: refused multiple promotions in the past. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: a promotion. I'm good right here fighting with my men.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of man we're talking about here,
Speaker 1: nay Is. He is so brave that he is. I
Speaker 1: heard him described multiple times as dumb, brave, stupid, brave.
Speaker 1: May at one point in his life in a battle,
Speaker 1: has not one, not two, not three, but four horses
Speaker 1: shot out from under him in a single battle. He
Speaker 1: just keeps getting back on the horse and charging. That's
Speaker 1: what he does. He's Nay. His men worship him. He look,
Speaker 1: he drives them hard, but they know he's going to
Speaker 1: be right there, suffering with them, fighting with them. Nagets
Speaker 1: himself and all of his men. It's not that he
Speaker 1: got himself. It wasn't up to him. He is cut
Speaker 1: off from retreat. He is thought to be completely lost.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks that Nay and all his men this is
Speaker 1: another one of those units. We're never seeing them again.
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Marshall May, Except it's Marshall May. He
Speaker 1: fights like a demon, and so do his men. And yes,
Speaker 1: he loses most of them, but they fight their way
Speaker 1: through the Russian blocking action, and Nay comes home as
Speaker 1: a hero. I'll finish with this. I wanted to finish
Speaker 1: with the positive story because it is such a tragic story.
Speaker 1: Nay at the end of his life, after Napoleon escapes
Speaker 1: whatever Napoleon has met his end, there is a crackdown
Speaker 1: on all of Napoleon's top men. This is years later,
Speaker 1: by the way, there is a crackdown on Napoleon's top
Speaker 1: men where they're being arrested, tried, and executed. Nay, of course,
Speaker 1: is convicted and time to go get executed, executed by
Speaker 1: firing squad. Nay stands in front of his own firing
Speaker 1: squad and he says to them, when I give the order,
Speaker 1: fire at the heart. Nay takes command of his own
Speaker 1: firing squad and has them shoot him in the chest
Speaker 1: in Lie's death. It's kind of cool, right, Chris, that
Speaker 1: there were so many heroes and so much tragedy in
Speaker 1: Napoleon's invasion and retreat from Russia. Look, wars are not
Speaker 1: always about having the superior army. Commander after commander, general
Speaker 1: after general throughout history has marched off with a far
Speaker 1: superior army, and they have had to run into things
Speaker 1: like logistical problems and weather and all kinds of things,
Speaker 1: and the army just dies. Hitler's army was far better
Speaker 1: than the Russians, at least in the beginning of his invasion.
Speaker 1: At the end the Russians were better. But still it's
Speaker 1: just too far, it's too cold, not enough food. Many
Speaker 1: many conquerors have looked out over the horizon and thought
Speaker 1: to themselves, I have a great army. Maybe I should
Speaker 1: cross that horizon. See what I can do with it.
Speaker 1: Some have found glory and many have found nothing but
Speaker 1: complete devastation. That's the whole history of the world. I
Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed it. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show, Daz,
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show, and a magnificent Thursday. I asked
Speaker 1: doctor Jesse. Friday is tomorrow, and you can email the
Speaker 1: show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. Send in your questions now. So remember
Speaker 1: that little story about Napoleon constantly having to fight off
Speaker 1: subversives back home. Memory how many times we've talked about
Speaker 1: how difficult it would be for the United States of
Speaker 1: America to ever fight a long drawn out war overseas
Speaker 1: because Democrats hate the country and they'll try to subvert it.
Speaker 1: How far will they go to try to subvert it? Well,
Speaker 1: PROMI La Jaya Powell, you remember this, lady.
Speaker 2: We might call this getting strike ready. I think of
Speaker 2: it as getting us strike ready or street ready. And
Speaker 2: part of that is understanding our own strength and as
Speaker 2: we develop that strength being able to assess our risk tolerance,
Speaker 2: because we know that risk tolerance increases as the severity
Speaker 2: of the situation increases and as our own understanding of
Speaker 2: what's happening increases. So overall, the more we understand what's effective,
Speaker 2: what the risks are, and who's ready to participate, the
Speaker 2: more impact we can have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one. So Trump has mentioned multiple times that
Speaker 1: he wants Cuba. He wants Cuba. Trump wants the communist
Speaker 1: regime in Cuba to fall. He wants it replaced with
Speaker 1: the regime friendly to America. Trump is trying to clean up.
Speaker 1: Has a strong desire to clean up this Cuban thing.
Speaker 1: I suspect he will not have the political capital for
Speaker 1: that with all this Iran stuff going badly, but that's
Speaker 1: another story. Entirely, that's what Trump wants. So this is
Speaker 1: the first part of Jaya Powell.
Speaker 3: Just this past Friday, on me First, Trump signed a
Speaker 3: broad executive order that widens sanctions and allows for new
Speaker 3: tenant tease, similar to what we have for Iran and Russia.
Speaker 3: I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the
Speaker 3: infrastructure of Cuba. It is illegal, it is against the
Speaker 3: war being You're talking about this in Iran. Obviously, to
Speaker 3: bomb the infrastructure of any country that is against international law.
Speaker 3: This is essentially doing the same thing. It is bombing
Speaker 3: the infrastructure of Cuba.
Speaker 1: With okay, so she has somehow in her mind made
Speaker 1: sanctions into bombing and this, of course, in her filthy
Speaker 1: little communist mind, justifies this.
Speaker 3: And oil shipments from Venezuela, that's where Cuba had been
Speaker 3: getting it's oiled, were halted after the US operations to
Speaker 3: kidnap Nicholas Baduro. Since January, only one Russian tanker of
Speaker 3: oil has made it to Cuba. Now Russia said they're
Speaker 3: going to send another tanker. I was in conversations with
Speaker 3: the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I
Speaker 3: know other countries in Latin America trying to figure out
Speaker 3: how to get oil there.
Speaker 2: But it is.
Speaker 1: What did you just say? The Trump administration has sanctions
Speaker 1: on communists Cuba. Russians snuck them a ship of oil
Speaker 1: and the communists member of the House of Representatives from
Speaker 1: Washington state, what did you just say?
Speaker 3: And oil shipments from Venezuela, that's where Cuba had been
Speaker 3: getting it's oiled, were halted after the US operations to
Speaker 3: kidnap Nicholas Baduro. Since January, only one Russian tanker of
Speaker 3: oil has made it to Cuba. Now Russia said they're
Speaker 3: going to send another tanker. I was in conversations with
Speaker 3: the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I
Speaker 3: know other countries in Latin America trying to figure out
Speaker 3: how to get oil there. But it is a crisis imagination.
Speaker 1: Remember when I told you Democrats will work with the
Speaker 1: enemy to ensure we lose. By the way, she should
Speaker 1: be in handcuffs and in prison already if she actually
Speaker 1: did that. But I have also said they will flat
Speaker 1: out a bed the enemy, they will aid the enemy,
Speaker 1: they will. That is a democrat announcing publicly she's trying
Speaker 1: to break Trump's sanctions. So communist Cuba has oil, we cannot,
Speaker 1: we cannot. It's not possible to prosecute a long foreign
Speaker 1: war successfully with this level of Democrat subversion at home.
Speaker 1: It's not you can't do it. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: Napoleon couldn't do it. Nobody can do it. When you
Speaker 1: have to try to fight this off back home, when
Speaker 1: it's this severe, it's bad. All right, Let's do some
Speaker 1: emails shall we, hey, Jesse, the last desperate act. This
Speaker 1: one's called I fear they may oh you talking about Iran.
Speaker 1: I fear they may do this if they're backed into
Speaker 1: a quarter, into a corner. Consider the facts. Crude oil
Speaker 1: floats on seawater. Crude oil was very flammable. The pipeline
Speaker 1: from Iraq to Carguy or around a car island could
Speaker 1: be disconnected, aimed at the Strait of hor moves at night. Unseen,
Speaker 1: these idiots could pump millions of barrels of crud into
Speaker 1: the strait at night, enveloping all ships in a giant oil. So, okay,
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I can't speak to how
Speaker 1: feasible that would be. I'm not an expert on if
Speaker 1: that's even possible. I will I will tell you. I
Speaker 1: promise you that we have imagery at all times of
Speaker 1: what is and is not happening on carg Island. I
Speaker 1: would doubt that a tick could crawl across the sand
Speaker 1: on Harg Island without an American satellite or a drone
Speaker 1: picking that up. Imagine that's something our guys have possibly seen,
Speaker 1: but not at all calling you ridiculous for the theory
Speaker 1: does Iron have plans. Yeah, I'm sure they do. Then
Speaker 1: the enemy is oftentimes not nearly as defeated as you
Speaker 1: pretend he is. That's just that's the danger of these things.
Speaker 1: You can see. Look, it's Napoleon in Moscow, but you're defeated.
Speaker 1: I'm not suing for peace. What do you mean you're
Speaker 1: not suing for peace? I mean, I mean you're capital what. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm good. He has to agree that he's defeated. If
Speaker 1: he doesn't, you have to make him or a band
Speaker 1: in the whole thing. Whether there's no, you can't just
Speaker 1: sit there. We'll see what happens. We're gonna see what happens.
Speaker 1: It's a big, ugly mess. Just remember to keep praying,
Speaker 1: and definitely keep praying for the safety of our troops,
Speaker 1: certainly a sailors. There's a lot of sailors on the
Speaker 1: water in hostile territory right now, and there are things
Speaker 1: flying in the air, and we haven't had a terrible
Speaker 1: story just yet, and I certainly hope we don't. But
Speaker 1: make sure you keep our troops in your prayers. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna talk about generalized victim campaigns, communist plans,
Speaker 1: if they win. Oh, that's so much more still to
Speaker 1: come in the final hour. Hang on,
