1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse 2 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on 3 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: a Monday. And look, here's what we got this hour. 4 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: We're about to do Medal of Honor Monday. I'll just 5 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: go through the story, maybe give you just a little 6 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: bit around it. But then we're walking away from that 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 1: and we're gonna walk away from American politics and we're 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: gonna do history. I'll get to where it is and 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: what it is in just a moment, just a few 10 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: minutes after Medal of Honor Monday. And again, this is 11 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: going to be part one. Part two will probably be tomorrow, 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: if not Wednesday at the latest, and I don't know 13 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: whether part two will finish it either. But there's a 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: there's a conflict that appeareriod of time we should probably 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,639 Speaker 1: learn more about, given everything that's going on right now. 16 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: But you know what time it is, it's the start 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: of the second hour on Monday. So we do the 18 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: same thing we always do. We do Medal of Honor Monday. 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: When you earn a medal of honor, you get a citation, 20 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: a write up about what you did. Some of them 21 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: are very long. Some of them are very short. It's 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: going to depend on who does the write up and 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: the conflict itself. You'll notice we don't do very many 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: pre World War two. That's no disrespect to Civil War, 25 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: World War One, any of the others. But the write 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: ups are pathetic, the two or three sentences World War two. 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: They realize these guys deserve more than that, so they 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: started picking up the writing. But when you earn one 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: of these, they write you up a citation about what 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: you did. And we should remember these men and remember 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: their deeds. There is a sea of heroes out there 32 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: we know thing about. Most people go to their graves 33 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: knowing nothing about it. You know, in your area there 34 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: is almost undoubtedly a Medal of Honor recipient from your area. 35 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: Do you know who he is? Maybe more than one. 36 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: They're all over the country, all over that you might be. 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: You might be a couple miles away from the grave 38 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: of somebody. You and your kids maybe should go lay 39 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: flowers on that grave the Memorial Day, something like that. 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: We should learn about our heroes. And today, look, we 41 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: take email suggestions, love hate, death threats, medal of honor, sigestions, suggestions, 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: whatever you want to send in to Jesse at Jesse 43 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com Jesse Medal of Honor recommendation from Monday 44 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Show HM three Wayne M. Karen I had the pleasure 45 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: of serving on the ship named after him, the USS 46 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Karen d D nine seventy, a Spruance class destroyer. So, Chris, 47 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: without further ado, let's do the Medal of Honor citation 48 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: for A. Wayne Maurice Karen, United States Navy born in Middleborough, Massachusetts, 49 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: right Hey. 50 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: Honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal of 51 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: Honor Monday. 52 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life, 53 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: above and beyond the call of duty while serving as 54 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: patoon corman with Company K during combat operations against enemy forces. 55 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: While on a sweep through an open rice field, eight 56 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: three C. Karen's units started receiving enemy small arms fire. 57 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: Upon seeing two marine casualties fall, he immediately ran forward 58 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: to render first aid, but found they were dead. At 59 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: this time, the patoon was taken under intense small arms 60 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: fire and automatic weapons fire, sustaining additional casualties. As he 61 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: moved to the aid of his wounded comrades. Eight three C. 62 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Karen was hit in the arm by enemy fire, although 63 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: not to the ground. He regained his feet and continued 64 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: to the injured marines. He rendered medical assistance to the 65 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: first marine he reached, who was grievously wounded, and undoubtedly 66 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: was instrumental in saving the man's life. H. Three C. 67 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: Karen then ran towards the second wounded marine, but was 68 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: again hit by enemy fire, this time in the leg. Nonetheless, 69 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: he crawled the remaining distance and provided medical wead for 70 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: this severely wounded man. H three C. Karen started to 71 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: make his way to yet another injured comrade when he 72 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: was again struck by small arms fire. Courageously and with 73 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: unbelievable determination, eight three C. Karen continued his attempt to 74 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: reach the third marine until he was killed by an 75 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: enemy rocket round. His inspira is inspiring valor, steadfast determination, 76 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: and selfless dedication in the face of extreme danger, sustain 77 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: and enhance the finest traditions of US Naval service. And 78 00:05:22,320 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: he gave his life for this country. Rest in peace, brother, 79 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: all right, one last word on the docks before we 80 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: dig into history. Doc being a Corman, a Navy corman, 81 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: remember for you civilian types in the army, they have medics. 82 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: So if you go down, there's an army medic who 83 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: attends to you, tries to keep you alive. The Marines 84 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: do not have medics, Navy Corman. They are assigned to 85 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: Marine Corps infantry units. Those are essentially our medics. We 86 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: don't call them medics. If you ever watched the movies 87 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: or something, here's someone saying medic. That's army doc is 88 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: what the Marines call for. He's your doc. Chris said, 89 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: why well, remember, as much as it pains me to 90 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: admit it, the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. 91 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: In fact, this is probably going to come into play 92 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: in a little bit in our history story we're about 93 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: to talk about here. Navy on the water. Obviously, boats 94 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: and ships. That's great, and it's super important, especially if 95 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of water around you, very very important. However, 96 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how much of the big Blue you 97 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: managed to secure. At some point in time, someone has 98 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: to cross swords with somebody. Someone has to put boots 99 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: on the ground somewhere. And a long time ago, about 100 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the time the founding of this country came around, the 101 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: United States, Navy said, you know, we're dealing with some 102 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: problems here, and we need some tough dudes to kind 103 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: of ride along on the ship. We don't need them 104 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: to be sailors. We need them to be brawlers and fighters. 105 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: We need somebody who can come along and security. Once 106 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: we bombarded a place, we need somebody who's insane enough 107 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: to go to shore and start stabbing and shooting people. 108 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: I know, let's get some Marines. And so we came 109 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: up with the United States Marines, still a branch of 110 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: the Navy, and so the Navy provides the corman the 111 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: medical care for it. Now, if you saw if you 112 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: saw a corman in the wild, if you saw one 113 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: in Iraq or something. I'm that's you're trained to recognize 114 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: the gear, you would just think he was a marine. 115 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna be wearing the same things the Marines. Where 116 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: he's digging a fighting hole right next to the Marines. 117 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: He lives, works worships with the Marines. Our docs were 118 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: Marines as far as we were concerned. I still talk 119 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: to my doc to this day. Your doc is somebody you, 120 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: he's right there with you, goes through all the hell 121 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: you go through and doesn't even get the credit to 122 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: being a marine. We always stole doc. He kind of 123 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: got the shaft. In fact, we always called him a 124 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: moron doc who joins the Navy and decides he's going 125 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: to go through all the awful misery a Marine Corps 126 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: grunt goes through and doesn't even get to tell his 127 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: friends he was basically a marine. You got all the 128 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: You got all the headache without any of the bragging rights. 129 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: All right, all right, enough of that. Now, you wanted 130 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: to do some history with me, History that I don't 131 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: know might sound pretty relevant to where we're at and 132 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: a major thing going on in the world today. So 133 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: let me ask you something. A couple of things. I 134 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: would assume you at least have heard of most major 135 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: wars in history, right, and you probably can tick off 136 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: at least one bullet point about all of them. Even 137 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: if World War One, if I said that to you, you 138 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: would say trench warfare or something like that, wouldn't you something? Well, 139 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: there was a war that left a million people dead, 140 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: a million people dead gone, and most people in the 141 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: United States of America cannot name one thing about it, 142 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: and even if they can name where it is, it's 143 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: only because of the name of the war. Let's talk 144 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: about that it's a fascinating affair. Before we talk about that, 145 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about what the stock market did today. I 146 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: know you saw. I hope you didn't check your portfolio, 147 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: but I know you've probably heard about it. Are you 148 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: ready to make that called a gold code that you 149 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: should have made already? I've been telling you how long 150 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: about gold and silver. They will last longer than you will. 151 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: They will last longer than your country, than your family name. 152 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Gold and silver, precious metals have had 153 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: value forever. That's why countries now with all this instability, 154 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: all this craziness, that's why they're buying as much of 155 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: it as they can. Why don't you get some in 156 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: your retirement so you don't get wiped out as we 157 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: continue to lose and lose and lose on things. Gold 158 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: Co makes it easy. They'll give you a free copy 159 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: of their twenty twenty five gold and Silver kit.

What was it? Maybe it was 178 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: a skydiving, Maybe it was more benign. Maybe you're afraid 179 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: to speak in front of people. Maybe you got up 180 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: and gave a presentation at work and you were just 181 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: adrenaline pumpin'. What was the biggest adrenaline rush you've ever 182 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: had in your life? I cannot speak for everyone, but 183 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: I will say this about me, and I think virtually 184 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: every friend I have, every dude I know oh has 185 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: spent at least a couple minutes of his life day 186 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: dreaming about what it would be like to be on horseback, 187 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: charging the enemy with the sword in your hands. Chris, 188 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: am I wrong? Tell me you haven't dreamt of it? 189 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: Of course? Of course, Corey, have you dreamt of it? 190 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: Chris claims he of course, Cory has. Cory has. Chris 191 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: of course claims he hasn't. Chris, what if I told 192 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: you there were savings coupons at the other end of 193 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: the battlefield where you Anyway, either way, it's something dude's 194 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: dream about. A cavalry charge. Now, let's discuss the Crimean War, 195 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: a Crimean ward. I'm gonna call it crimean. Don't email 196 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: me your grammar Nazi things. I don't want to hear them. 197 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: I went to community college, and I'm dumb. The Crimean War, 198 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: it's going to be unbelievably applicable today, at least geographically. 199 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: To just stay with me as we walk through this. Here. 200 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: One thing that I love about the Crimean War, that 201 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: I find so fascinating is you see, we have all 202 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: this ancient combat, all the ancient things Thermopyli and then 203 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: the Romans and all kinds of things, all kinds of 204 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: ancient combat. And I don't know about you, I've always 205 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: wanted to see pictures of it, at least video something 206 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: like that. But the thing is photographs didn't come along 207 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: till much later, so obviously you don't have that. What 208 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: is the first major war in history where we have 209 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: photography to show it to you? The Crimean War. In fact, 210 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: if you look up the Crimean War, it's almost like 211 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: you're giving this brief little window into what war used 212 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: to look like in the past. If you look through 213 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: enough pictures, and I have I've been geeking out on 214 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: this war recently, you can look at not a painting, 215 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: a picture of a sailing boat, naval armada, not talking 216 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: about battleships and aircraft carriers of World War I two. 217 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking. You think you're looking at Christopher Columbus. You 218 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: think you're looking at the Pilgrims, the Nina, the Pinta 219 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: and the Santa Maria and Armada enable Armada when ships 220 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: still had sales. That's the crime in war. So let's 221 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: set all this up just to give you adds up 222 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: O case you're just new to the Jesse Kelly Show. 223 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: When I tell history, When I talk history, I do 224 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: not bludgeon you with names and dates and locations. That 225 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: will be very rare. History is about storytelling. It's not 226 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: about names, dates and locations. That's boring and that's not 227 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: how people get anything out of anything, So you won't 228 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: get a lot of that when I give it to you. 229 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: It's just to kind of give you a frame of reference. 230 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: The time place we're talking about here is the mid 231 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds. This is before our Civil War, right before. 232 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: But this is before our civil war. That should help 233 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: you understand the kind of weaponry we're dealing with, cannons 234 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: and muskets, things like that. So this is right before 235 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: the Civil War. And this takes place mostly a couple 236 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: different places, but it takes place mostly in an area 237 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: that may sound familiar to you if you've been paying 238 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: attention to the news at all. It's in the Black Sea. 239 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: See that city you've heard so much about recently. Sevastpol 240 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: is how I'm gonna describe it. I'm sure that's not 241 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: how you say it. Sevasto Pole, Sevasto Pole, probably Sebastopol, 242 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: depending on which language translation Sevastopol. You'll see it if 243 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: you look up the Black Sea again. A map will 244 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: help you tell a story every time. If you don't 245 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: have a map, don't worry about that. I'll explain why 246 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: that will matter in a little bit. Now. The players 247 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: in our story are Russia, Britain, France, and Turkey. And 248 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: what's funny is all or most of these empires, it 249 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: least in a little way, seem to have the same 250 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: thing in common. If you wouldn't describe the empire as fading, 251 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: which you probably would, the empire is most definitely changing. 252 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: In Russia, the empire is changing, their system of government 253 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: is changing. This is mid eighteen hundreds. In Britain, their 254 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: system of government really has already changed, but they're still 255 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: beginning the process of frankly losing their worldwide empire, although 256 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: they still had it at this time. France has been 257 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: mired in war for them, not against Britain, but they've 258 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: been mired in war at this time. Turkey, they're not 259 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: Turkey yet, I call them Turkey right now, there's still 260 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire. In the middle of the eighteen hundreds 261 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: and forever, the Ottoman Empire has been the vanguard of 262 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: the Islamic world and Europe. The Christian countries of Europe 263 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: and been terrified, and justifiably so, of these invading Muslim forces. 264 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: But the Ottoman Empire is at the way back end 265 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: of their power as well, starting to crumble. So those 266 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: are the players. That is the period of time. Now, 267 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: let's do a little talk about the Crimean war before 268 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: we get back to politics and everything else. Before we 269 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: do that. I know, when you think about charging a 270 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: man on horseback with a saber in your hand, it 271 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: has the effect of boosting your testosterone levels. The problem 272 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: with that is that's a temporary boost. Maybe for five 273 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: minutes your t levels will shoot through the roof, but 274 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: then they will go right back down because you just 275 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: drank estrogen. The last bottle of water you had, you 276 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: drank estrogen. You know that we shower an estrogen. It's 277 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: because of all the birth control women are on now. 278 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't get filtered out and all that treated water, 279 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: all the estrogen still there. That's why we've lost half 280 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: our testosterone levels in fifty years as a country. It's devastating. 281 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: It'll end us chalk. They sell natural herbal supplements that 282 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: do all kinds of different things whatever you're looking to 283 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: improve upon.

Who's the head of France? 305 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: At this time a guy by the name of Napoleon, 306 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: Napoleon the Third, Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous emperor, was not 307 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: his father, in case you're wondering, it was his uncle. 308 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: But Napoleon the Third is head of France. Who's who's 309 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: one of the guys running things for Britain at this time, 310 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: a guy who lost his arm fighting Napoleon Emperor one 311 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: at Waterloo. That's how connected. That's how this thing connects 312 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: directly from those days to World War One, which will 313 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: bring us to Ukraine and Russia today the Crimean War. 314 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: Russia still is in the time of the Csars. They 315 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: have an autocratic government that is going to matter for 316 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: our purposes. Now they still have one at a time 317 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: where the world is really starting to shift away from that. 318 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: Britain thinks of itself as pretty lofty at this time. No, 319 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: we've embraced liberalism or whatever you want to call it, 320 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: and they've moved past that. Turkey's dying, the Ottoman Empire, 321 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: I should say, they're dying now. The genesis of this 322 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: actually begins here Chris in Jerusalem. What Chris was just 323 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: that's where it begins. So why let me explain under 324 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire. Christians, yes, they were second class citizens. 325 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to sugarcoat that. Jews as well, jess 326 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: as well. Christians and Jews non Islamic people were second 327 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: class citizens. They were, but it wasn't as bad as 328 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: you think. For the most part, the Ottoman Empire would 329 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: let Christians practice Christianity, They would let Jews practice Judaism 330 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: as long as they did so without making a fuss. Look, 331 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: pay your taxes, don't make a fuss, don't make problems 332 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: for us when we demand you send troops. You're going 333 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: to send troops. No, you're not going to be given 334 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: all the rights and privileges as a Muslim citizen of 335 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: the Ottoman Empire. But you can exist here. We're not 336 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: going to come crucify you against the synagogue wall. That's 337 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: just not going to happen. You could exist here, and 338 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: at this point in time, the Ottoman Empire, they are 339 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: in charge of Jerusalem. That brings us to France and Russia. Now, 340 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: religions famously don't get along with each other, but just 341 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: as famous is the infighting that takes place within every religion. 342 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: Whatever you practice, don't think you're unique. Muslims kill Muslims 343 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: and fight them all the time. Jews fight Jews, argue 344 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: with Jews about what the correct way to practice Judaism 345 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: is all the time. The Christian Church always fighting now 346 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: and forever, Christians Catholics, there's always fighting Russia. I'm gonna 347 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: call them Christian, and I'm gonna call France Christian. But 348 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: I realize there are different sects at play here. For 349 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: the purposes of our story, just know they're different sects, okay, 350 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: and they're holy men. They run into each other in 351 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: the streets of Jerusalem. Now again, remember the Ottoman Empire's rule. Hey, 352 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: go do your thing. Worship Jesus sounds good. Just don't 353 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: make headaches for me. Whatever you do, you don't get 354 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: to make headaches for me. Very similar to how we 355 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: treat the boys when we turn them loose. If if 356 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: it's a terrible day and they're forced to play in 357 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: the house, you can play in the house. You can 358 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: be loud, you can rough house right up to the 359 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: point it becomes a problem for me, and then you'll 360 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: be outside in the cold. Keep that in mind. These 361 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: religious men in the streets of Jerusalem have what essentially 362 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: amounts to a knife fight only they were using crucifixes 363 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: to beat on each other. If I wasn't there for 364 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: the conversation, but it must have gotten quite heated. And 365 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: little things like that because you don't care about that 366 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: individual story, do you. I don't either. It's kind of 367 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: a funny little Chris is laughing. I'm laughing. It's kind 368 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: of a dumb, little historical antidote. But little things can 369 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: turn into big things very quickly, especially when ambition comes 370 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: into play. France. France doesn't like it that some of 371 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: their religious people were beat on in the city of Jerusalem. Russia. 372 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Russia doesn't like it. There's some of their religious people 373 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: were beat on in the city of Jerusalem. Well, who's 374 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: administering Jerusalem right now? The Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, 375 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: they're kind of caught in the middle of this whole thing. France. 376 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: They send a warship and now we have to and 377 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: I apologize for going ninety year old Jesse. Now we 378 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: have to go to our map. And if you're driving, 379 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: don't worry. I'm gonna draw it in your mind while 380 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: you can. If you're not driving, you can look up 381 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: the Black Sea. Okay, the Black Sea. If you're driving, 382 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: I want you to just make a circle in your mind. 383 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 1: Look at a map. There's a circle there. That circle 384 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: was the Black Sea. Okay, that don't worry about memorizing everything. 385 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to say the bottom of the circle, the 386 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: bottom of it is Turkey, the top right hand corner 387 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: is Russia. The bottom left hand corner. Right you're looking 388 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: south west is a really important area for the purpose 389 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: of our story. That's a place now called Istanbul. If 390 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at a modern map, it'll be called Istanbul. 391 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: It's called Constantinople. Back in these days Istanbul. Now, if 392 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: you are looking at a map, you can trace Istanbul. 393 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Keep going southwest, you'll see this little strip of water. 394 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: You'd almost call it a river known as the Dardenells, 395 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: the Dardanelles. What the Dardennells are that strip of water 396 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: and really Istanbul as well. It's what connects the Black 397 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: Sea to the open ocean. That is going to be 398 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: very important for the purpose of our story. The Black 399 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: Sea can only connect to the ocean open Ocean through 400 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: the Dardennells. There aren't two routes. There is one way 401 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: you are getting your ships in and out of the 402 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Black Sea. That is the Dardennell's. Okay, Now France gets 403 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: so angry about this little dust up in Jerusalem. They 404 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: send a steamship through the Dardenells. There aren't that many steamships. 405 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: That's a big deal. Getting through the darden Nells is 406 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: very difficult because prior to this everything's been sailboats. In 407 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: fact that it'm mainly be sailboats here. How do they 408 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: just steam up here? Russia gets involved, they start sending 409 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: ships and now the dying Empire part of this, we 410 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: have to discuss this Zar Nicholas, the first Russia itself, 411 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: they have always been and this very much applies to today. 412 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 1: They've always been concerned about getting isolated geographically, and I 413 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: know that sounds absurd when if you're looking at a 414 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: map like we were just were, It sounds absurd when 415 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: you look at a kind of that size. How could 416 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: a country of that size ever be isolated geographically? You know, 417 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: we're not talking about Iowa can be isolated geographically. You 418 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: know you're not touching the water anywhere, you're in the 419 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: middle of the country. How could Russia? Why would it 420 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: ever be a concern? Well, ports, you must have warm 421 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: water ports, all that big blue stuff. To the north 422 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: of Russia. It's freezing, it's cold, it's icy. You can't 423 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: ship stuff in and out of there most of the time. 424 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: To their eastern side, same thing, freezing, cold, miserable, awfal, 425 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: there aren't that many water shipping lanes into the country. 426 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: If your Russia, as big and powerful as your lands are, 427 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: your water access is a tiny drip. It's teeny tiny. 428 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: And because of that, they've been looking on what the 429 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire has up to this time, and they've been 430 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: wanting it really badly. We'll go there next. 431 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 2: Is he smarter than everyone who knows? 432 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: Does he think so? 433 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? The Jesse Kelly Show. 434 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday, 435 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday, doing a little bit of Crimean 436 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: war history because that area it's back in the news now. 437 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: So the Automan Empire is fading, the Russian Empire still autocratic. 438 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: This is the mid eighteen hundreds. As the Ottoman Empire 439 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: is fading, the Russian Empire is laying its hungry eyes 440 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: on Istanbul Constantinople back then. But we're making this easy 441 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: to understand for today. Russia they want to seize control 442 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: of Istanbul. They want to seize control of that precious 443 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: waterway that connects the Black Sea to the open Ocean. 444 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: Now maybe you're sitting there thinking, okay, maybe it's a 445 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: little Russian ee with the fact that they want to 446 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: come grab some land. Why would Britain have such a 447 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: big problem with it and France? Why would Britain and 448 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: France both have such a big problem with it that 449 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: they would fight this huge war over it. Well, this 450 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: comes down to economic reasons too, and that happens a lot. 451 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: You see Russia claim they wanted this for religious purposes. 452 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: They said they were in it to protect the Christians. 453 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: We have to protect our people. Again, that's a line 454 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: they still use often today. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, 455 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: but that's the oftentimes a justification for Russian aggression with things. 456 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: But why would Britain and France step in? Why are 457 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: they so concerned with it? By now, Britain is trading 458 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: with the entire world as you would when your navy 459 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: commands the seas. They have a global empire at this 460 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: point and they trade with everyone, including the Ottoman Empire. 461 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: Britain gets a lot of stuff and gives a lot 462 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: of stuff from this area. Russia at this time they 463 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: have a very different view on trade. They believe really 464 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: in keeping trade in house, not international trade. When they 465 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: get goods and services they want to swap back and 466 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: forth inside the Russian Empire, not outside. Essentially, Britain is 467 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: concerned justifiably that if the Russians march on and take Constantinople, 468 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: if they take Istanbul, They're worried that they will be 469 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: cut off from the entire Black Sea and cut off 470 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: from all that trade of the Ottoman Empire. Russia declares war, 471 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: and they declare they are marching on Constantinople. Now let's 472 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: go for the bad, right off the bad. Unsurprisingly, this 473 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: seems to be the tale at the beginning of really 474 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: every Russian war I've ever read about. They suck at 475 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: the very beginning. I don't know. Don't ask me what 476 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: it is. I'm not an expert on Russia. In the 477 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: very beginning of every conflict, Russian troops are garbage. The 478 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: army's garbage. It's not organized, it's not well trained. They 479 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: just try to throw a bunch of men at whatever 480 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: the problem happens to be. And they're never as tough 481 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: as people think they are initially. Now the bad side 482 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: of that, if you're fighting the Russians, they always get 483 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: there eventually and then they turn into a huge headache 484 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: you can't deal with. But in the beginning, look, if 485 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: you've got to take out the Russians, take them out early. 486 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: The Russians go marching towards Constantinople. The Russians attack some 487 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: fort that's not even at Constantinople, and they promptly get 488 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: their teeth kicked in at the fort. Now pause on 489 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: the Russians for a moment. Let's talk about the status 490 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: of Britain and France, because maybe if you're a history 491 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: buff maybe you're thinking that's an odd alliance, and you're right, 492 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: it is, and it's made even odder by how different 493 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: the countries are at this point. You see Britain, they're 494 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: an incredible sea power as always, they're a really really 495 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: lousy land power because they haven't really been fighting land 496 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: wars for a long time. It's been a while. France, 497 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: exact opposite, France is a really nasty land power. Right now. 498 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: They've been fighting. I won't go into what they've been fighting. 499 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: They've been fighting for twenty years at this point. They 500 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: are a hardened wartime army, and they decide there these 501 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: two countries who normally hate each other, they decide, hey, 502 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: this would be a good joint venture. Britain's saying, hey, 503 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: we'll do the sailing. You provide the fighting troops, at 504 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: least the best ones, and France says, yep, sounds good, 505 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: and they declare war on Russia. Now you should go. 506 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: They first thought that they were gonna go up into 507 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: the Baltic Sea. This is a totally different sea. Don't 508 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: worry about it, you don't. It's not gonna matter for 509 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: our purposes here. But they decided they were going to 510 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: go right after Britain was gonna sail. It's amazing navy 511 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: up to Saint Petersburg. If you're looking at a map, 512 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: you can look at it. And that was a fine plan. 513 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: Britain wanted to show them we can take our navy anywhere. 514 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: Even your capital isn't safe. But their capital was quite 515 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: safe because the Russians had fortifications, including a massive middle 516 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: of the water fortress, guarding Saint Petersburg. And the Britz 517 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: took a look at it and said, ah, maybe somewhere else, 518 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: and they bombarded a fort and took little fort up there. 519 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: But really where they all sailed was down south. They 520 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: sailed down to the Ottoman Empire. And the goal of 521 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: this war was this. Obviously, the defeat of Russia is 522 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: the overall goal. But remember that Black Sea. I had 523 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: you draw the circle. Remember the northwestern part of the circle. 524 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: I said, that's Russia. Well, in the northwestern part of 525 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: that circle where Russia is, if you look at it, 526 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: you'll see this big, fat peninsula. It sticks out in 527 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the northern part of the Black Sea. 528 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: It's not really a peninsula, but you'll see what I 529 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: mean when you look at it, and there's a big 530 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: city on it, Sevastopol. As we discussed earlier, the goal 531 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: of the British slash French army is to sail this 532 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: incredible British fleet and British troops and sail these French 533 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: troops riding along with the Brits, to sail them through 534 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: the Dardanelles, past Istanbul up into the Black Sea, and 535 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: to conquer the warm water port the Russians loves so much, 536 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: the very same warm water port one and a half 537 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: million men have died from recently. That would be the 538 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: Black Sea port in the northeastern part of the Black Sea. 539 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: What is it? Solomon said in the Bible, there is 540 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: nothing new under the sun. But the fleet is on 541 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 1: the move. The French troops are ready, and I would 542 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: say tomorrow we'll find out how it goes from here. 543 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: Let's pause on all that and go back to politics, 544 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: shall we, Before we do that. Fred had a tough 545 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: day today. It was I know what you're thinking, that 546 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: Fred always seems to have a tough day, and that's fair, 547 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: that is very fair. Life seems to be more stressful 548 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: for the most spoiled dog on the planet than it 549 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: should be. But Fred, every now and then we have 550 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: to take him and get him professionally, get his hair cut, 551 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: because he gets it starts to Matt. No matter how 552 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: much we brush him, it'll start to Matt. So we 553 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: add a haircut today, and that's always extra hard for Fred. 554 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: And normally after that he would have stomach problems actually 555 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: for two days most of the time, and that would 556 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: happen when he would have stomach problems for two days 557 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: as anxieties through the roof with rough greens. At least 558 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: we don't have that. He will still lay there and 559 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: whimper and wine because that's Fred. But physically he's so healthy. 560 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: They even comment on his coat. His coat looks so good. 561 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: You want a healthier dog that lives longer, Sprinkle Rough 562 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: Greens on your dog's food all natural nutritional supplement.
