She's a wealth of 10 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: information there. I would tune into that. That's on the 11 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: first TV app. That's one. Two. Justin Trudeau stood up 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: today and gave a little speech on Vladimir Putin. Canada 13 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: and our allies will defend democracy. We are taking these 14 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: actions today to stand against authoritarianism. The people of Ukraine, 15 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: like all people, must be free to determine their own future. 16 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: We will continue working with our international partners to safeguard 17 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: Ukraine's territorial integrity and prevent further Russian aggression. I have 18 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: to say, I know this won't be popular. I stand 19 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: with Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden against authoritarianism. I mean, 20 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: what could be worse that? Think about this, Think about 21 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: how disgusting this is. What if a leader of a nation, 22 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: what if he threw his political opponents in jail and 23 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: kept them there? I mean, how can you even imagine that? 24 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: Can you wrap your mind around this? What if? I mean, gosh, 25 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: talk about authoritarianism and tyranny? What if what if the 26 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: leader of a nation killed innocent people on foreign soil? 27 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: Could could you even wrap your mind around that? Gosh? 28 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: That would be crazy, wouldn't it. Oh, they're just despicable, 29 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: Thank goodness. Nothing like that can happen here, Thank goodness. Look, 30 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: you'd never catch Western leaders freezing the assets of their 31 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: own citizens. Disgusting. The financial instruments which our government is 32 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: using right now to act against these illegal blockades and 33 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: illegal occupation. We reviewed very very carefully the tools at 34 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the disposal of the federal government, and we determined that 35 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: we needed some additional tools. Now, some of them. Chris, 36 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: who is that Russian man? She doesn't she has really 37 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: cleaned up her accent. Who oh, oh, that's Canada's Deputy Freeland. 38 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, Well, I mean at least look, 39 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: at least we can criticize Putin for going out there 40 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: and intentionally raising energy prices on his own citizens Keystone Pipeline. 41 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I said it at the beginning of the show. 42 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: I'll say it again. Western governments in America, Canada, Australia, 43 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: New Zealand, France and other places. Western governments taking the 44 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: force of government and aiming it at their own citizens 45 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: is by far the biggest story in the world right now. 46 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: And I don't care if Vladimir Putin takes over all 47 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: of Eastern Europe. That ain't gonna change for you or 48 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: me now without further ado. Normally we do this on Mondays, 49 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: but we were all gone yesterday and we felt an 50 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: obligation to do it today. It's time for Medal of 51 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Honor Monday on Tuesday, right, hey, honoring those who went 52 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: above and beyond its Medal of Honor Monday. This is 53 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: US Air Force, This is Afghanistan. Technical Sergeant John A. 54 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: Chapman distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism as an Air Force 55 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: Special Tactics combat controller attached to a Navy Sea, Air 56 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and Land Team that Seals Seal team conducting reconnaissance Operations 57 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: and Takugar, Afghanistan. On March fourth, two thousand and two. 58 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: During the insertion, the team's helicopter was ambushed, causing a 59 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: team aide to fall into an entrenched group of enemy 60 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: combatants below. Sergeant Chapman and his team voluntarily reinserted onto 61 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: the snowcap mountain into the heart of an known enemy 62 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: stronghold to rescue one of their own without regard for 63 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: his own safety. Sergeant Chapman immediately engage aged, moving in 64 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: the direction of the closest enemy position. Despite coming under 65 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: heavy fire from multiple directions, he fearlessly charged an enemy 66 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: bunker up a steep incline in thigh deep snow and 67 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: into hostile fire, directing directly engaging the enemy. Upon reaching 68 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: the bunker, Sergeant Chapman assaulted and cleared the position, killing 69 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: all enemy occupants with complete disregard for his own life. 70 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: Sergeant Chapman deliberately moved from cover only twelve meters from 71 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: the enemy and exposed himself once again to attack a 72 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: second bunker from which an emplaced machine gun was firing 73 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: on his team. Sergeant Chapman was struck and injured by 74 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: enemy fire. Despite severe mortal wounds. He continued to fight relentlessly, 75 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: sustaining a violent engagement with multiple enemy personnel before making 76 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice by his heroic actions an extraordinary valor, 77 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: sacrificing his life for the lives of his teammates. Technical 78 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: Sergeant Chapman upheld the highest adition to military service and 79 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 1: reflected great credit upon himself in the United States Air Force. 80 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: Let us always remember those are the men we remember now. 81 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: I brought up something earlier. It's going to sound a 82 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: little off topic, but I think it's pretty much applicable 83 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: to where we're at now because all the heavines are 84 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: out here right now. Supreme Court to hear Colorado clash 85 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: over LGBTQ rights and religious liberty. They essentially want to 86 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: know you remember all that wedding cake fiasco garbage where 87 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: all the LGBTQ Air Force people were charging into this 88 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: guy's what is Christian bakery and trying to make him 89 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: make gay wedding cakes. And look, I don't care how 90 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: offensive you take this as not if you're a business, 91 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: I've just been given the rules for the last two years. 92 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: If I'm running a business, I can refuse you service 93 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: for anything I want not vaccinated, Get out senated, get 94 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: out mask it out.

Does that sound harsh, Well, that's that's 99 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: so weird how people think discrimination all of a sudden 100 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: sounds harsh again, because I just read for you. I 101 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: just read for you an email from a guy who 102 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: just lost his job after twenty eight years because of discrimination. 103 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: I could read email after email after email after email 104 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: from people, I can't go here, my daughter can't go there, 105 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: my son can't go here. I'm not allowed here. No 106 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no no, no no no no no. Don't 107 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: you dare let these communists now step up and claim 108 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: discrimination for anything. Discrimination is now part of the law 109 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: in America. It is part of the law here. Sorry, 110 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: you just did it now. Don't get me wrong. I 111 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily recommend you start refusing service to tall people, 112 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: after all, were the best, And I definitely wouldn't start 113 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: refusing service to others who may help your business. But hey, 114 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: you've been given the rules, and the rules were handed 115 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: out very clearly. And once again, the people who spent 116 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: the time handing out these rules that we will now 117 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: follow didn't seem to realize. Norms change when you change norms. 118 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: When you tell businesses slap a sign on your door, 119 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: you're not welcome. Sorry, unvaccinated people aren'ty been allowed in 120 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the door. Sorry, you're the dirty, lower second class than 121 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: you had better expect. That's coming around the other way. 122 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: And all once again say this when it comes to 123 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't even know if I should say 124 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: we anymore, because I don't think I consider myself in 125 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: this camp. I'll tell you this. For the longest time, 126 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: I would have considered myself very much in the more 127 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: libertarian camp. I don't think I would have called myself 128 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: a libertarian. But you know those stupid little tests you 129 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: take online where they determine where you fall, Almost always 130 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: I would get libertarian. I was just a very big hey, 131 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: keep government out of it, get government out of it, 132 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: live and let live. Don't care, don't whatever you do, 133 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: don't care. I'll leave you alone. You leave me alone, 134 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: and I will tell you I still believe that is 135 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: the way a government should be. That's the way a 136 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: country should be set up. But I have really really 137 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: come around to how truly naive that was when dealing 138 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: with communists. They're never going to leave you alone. They're 139 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: never going to remain neutral. They're not going to respect 140 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: the live and let live thing. These people are monsters 141 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: who are out to dominate you. These people want to 142 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: hurt you, and these people don't want to I don't know. 143 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: Just be neutral on values. There's such thing as neutrality 144 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: on values. That's what I got wrong. For so long. 145 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: You are either pushing yours or they're pushing theirs. That's 146 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: simply a fact. Staying out of that fight has been 147 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: the great failure of the right, and younger Jesse participated 148 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: wholeheartedly in that it is time to engage in that 149 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: it is time to be anti communists.

Okay, first, let's pause right there, 192 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: pause the look. I just I want to explain something 193 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: to everybody out there. And this applies to politicians, actors, athletes. 194 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it applies to you in your life. Nobody ever 195 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: buys the stupid lame stories people came up with. Remember 196 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: all the Remember all the baseball players who were jacking 197 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: homers during Baseball's big steroids thing.

I thought 203 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: it was tile on all and then I just started 204 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: swelling up, or or I don't know. A friend gave 205 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: me this cream.

I just that PSA was for all people 226 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: to just be honest in this day and age, No 227 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: matter how scared you are of the social media mob, 228 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: no matter how scared you are of the phone call 229 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: from your boss.

I don't care what I do. 233 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Let me just get out ahead of this right now. 234 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: Whatever I'm accused of, I probably did it, probably a 235 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: hundred guilty it's just just count me in. It's guilty 236 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: right now. That's fine, Chris, It'll be fine, no big deal. Instead, 237 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: she continues on, let's move along down the story. Instead 238 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: of helping me sleep, I hallucinated. I love that part. 239 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course I blacked out and I don't 240 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: remember anything until I woke up or came two and 241 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: I was throwing up in a hamper. She said she 242 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: was invited to a slumber party by a good friend 243 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: from law school who was a mother of one of 244 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: the girls. Parents of at least one of the girls 245 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: who were at the sleepover told the online news outlet 246 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: non Doc that Broyles use profanity and be rated several 247 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: of the twelve and thirteen year old girls at the party, 248 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: commenting on one girl's acne and another's Hispanic ethnicity. I'm sorry, 249 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Look, I know what's not supposed to be funny. 250 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: It's hilarious. It's absolutely hilarious. One a lot of people 251 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: out there, they don't do very well with alcohol. And 252 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: if you're one of those people, but listen, listen, I 253 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: believe that is kind of like one of those how 254 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: God Made you things. Some people's bodies just chemically don't 255 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: do well with alcohol. I had a friend, he would 256 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: go nameless. He would oftentimes disappear if he had alcohol. 257 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: This is back in the Marine Corps, and we would 258 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: have to routinely, this wasn't just once. We would have 259 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: to routinely go out on search parties for him to 260 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: find him. We would oftentimes find that he and they remember, 261 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: this is like an upstanding normal guy in normal sober things. 262 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: We would find that he had broken into someone else's 263 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: barracks room and passed out on someone else's bed. That 264 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: was his thing. He wanted to go to a room 265 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: that wasn't his and pass out on the bed. And 266 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: if you tried to wake him up, he'd start fighting you. 267 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: He'd just start punching you. You had to get ready 268 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: to start fighting. The look he was a normal person 269 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: in normal times. He didn't do well with alcohol. If 270 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: you find yourself making fun of a twelve year old 271 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: girl's pimples and throwing up in a hamper, may maybe 272 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: it's time to find a new vice of some kind. 273 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to take up knitting. Look, that's just me, 274 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: that's it. We've all had a night, all right, all right, 275 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: you know what that just gave me an idea. And 276 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody this is a family show, 277 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: a family show. Kids listen to this show.

He's gonna keep us updated on where 283 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: we left off with the Soviet Union and communism. But 284 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: when I get done with Boris, he's gonna last about 285 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: ten minutes. Eight seven seven three seven seven four three 286 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: seven three.

But it 289 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly's Show, and we are doing something 290 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: we've never done before. Every single Tuesday, at this exact time, 291 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: we talked to Boris Rifkin. He's the sole member of 292 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: Monta Fly Holdings. He's also a history expert, especially on 293 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: communism stuff. I learned so much from this guy. In 294 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: a case you missed the last two, he's not going 295 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: to recap the last two because we only have it 296 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: for one segment. You gotta go download the podcast. Last 297 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: two tuesdays, same thing, but Boris, we finished off last 298 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Tuesday and Lennon just died. Okay, so Lennon dies, we 299 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: have the largest country on earth? Was it just a 300 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: given Stalin was coming next? Well, thanks for having me 301 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: on again, Jeff, and just wanted to preface our conversation today. 302 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: It's a really timely time seems to be talking about 303 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: all of this, given Potin's address, the Ukraine situation, and 304 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: how everything is put into a historical context. He's certainly 305 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: looking back about a century and a half. It would 306 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: be refreshing if our officials did the same and had 307 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: some historical groundings. So it just makes these segments that 308 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: much more important, I think, to understand what's going on, 309 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: and so to get to the question. So not initially, 310 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: there was already, even before it was pretty clear that 311 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: he was going to pass on soon he had a 312 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: few strokes, there was already a struggle for power behind 313 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the scenes between and Initially. What's interesting is people assumed 314 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: that Trotsky was seen as the air apparent and was 315 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 1: bound to succeed him, but in reality Trotsky was a 316 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: bit indifferent, He was indecisive. He didn't initially want to 317 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: necessarily gets the top job, and that was a huge 318 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: part of the reason why eventually Stalin was able to 319 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: organize a few combinations against him. So first Stalin attacked 320 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: him from the right, then he attacked him from the left, 321 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: and eventually, after about really a two year definitively power struggle, 322 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: Stalin was able to force Trotsky out of the party 323 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: and eventually have him expelled from the country altogether. And 324 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: by really nineteen twenty six, but to be very generous, 325 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight or really nineteen twenty six, Stalin had 326 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: emerged as the undisputed leader of the Soviet Union, even 327 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: though he was never formally de Yuri, the head of 328 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: the government. He was really kind of an interesting setup 329 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: so that there was a formal head of the government 330 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: with somebody else, so he was always sort of the 331 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: one who everybody knew was in fact running the country 332 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: and in charge, but he preferred to stay behind the 333 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: scenes in terms of who was putting their signature on what, 334 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: in making any kind of public statements, because he wasn't 335 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: really a great order or speaker. He was a bureaucratic operator. Okay, 336 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: So initially, when Stalin takes over finally gets rid of Trotsky, 337 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: did he have all the power right away? Was there 338 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: some kind of central committee with some power in the 339 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: beginning and he got rid of them. Was it immediately 340 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: he ruled the country with an iron fist? What was 341 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: it in the very beginning? In the very beginning, there 342 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: were a couple of what we're called what eventually became 343 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: known as old Bolsheviks, the people who were in the 344 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: first Politbureau around Lenin, people like Zenoviev and Communist and Bukharans, 345 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: the people who at one point during this struggle for 346 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: power were allied with Stalin and then shifted over and 347 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: became allied with Trotsky against Stalin. It was a series 348 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: of these combinations. But by the time Trotsky was ousted, 349 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: Stalin was, for all intents and purposes, in full control. 350 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: The cadres of the party in the Center Committee and 351 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: the Politburo were beginning to be filled with his allies, 352 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: and the people who he opposed and his rivals had 353 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: either been expelled or were on their way up, And 354 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: so there was really no disputing who wasn't charged. By 355 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: the late nineteen twenties. Okay, you've already covered previously the 356 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: things Lennon did initially and then how he had to 357 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: change certain things. What was Stalin's go to initially? Where 358 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: did Stalin begin with his vision? So originally Stalin actually 359 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: opposed so Trotsky was a huge proponent of continuing war 360 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: communism and not backing Lenin's initially on the new economic policy, 361 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: and then there were some shifts in that direction. Stalin 362 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: came in with an attack from the left, saying that 363 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: the new economic policy was a mistake and we had 364 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: to get back to what eventually became collectivization full nationalization, 365 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: so there would be no limited state capitalism really of 366 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: any kind. What needed to happen was rapid industrialization, pretty 367 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: much with the aim of preparing the Soviet Union for war. 368 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: As you recall the last time we've talked, I mentioned 369 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: the unfinished business of nineteen twenty when they couldn't achieve 370 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: what they initially wanted to get in Eastern Europe. Stalin 371 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: had his eye on that and wanted to get the 372 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Soviet military ready for a new major European campaign, and 373 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: so for that he decided to put a priority on 374 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: heavy industrializations that the cities needed to be fed, and 375 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: you had to emphasize building tractors, large factories that would 376 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: produce heavy equipment that could be quickly converted to tanks 377 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: and artillery and all the rest. And that pretty much 378 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: meant that the peasants had to be forced to provide 379 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: grain to the cities to feed the urban population, and 380 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: there had to be enough hard currency coming into finance 381 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: all of this. So that really was what motivated his 382 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: support for what became collectivisation and the terrible tragedy that 383 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: followed from that. Again, we're speaking with was Rifkin, an 384 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: expert on the history of the Soviet Union. This part 385 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: of our continuing series every Tuesday night at this time. Okay, 386 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: Boris you just alluded to it got terrible, His collectivisation 387 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: got terrible. How terrible? What are you talking about? Them? 388 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Millions of people dying from starvation all across the Soviet Union. 389 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: So we most famously hear about the what was called 390 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: the whole of the Moor in Ukraine, but it was 391 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: really happening all across the country, and basically it was 392 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: the peasants were first who had what were known as kolos. 393 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: These were sort of the quote unquote wealthiest, most productive 394 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: peasants were just driven off the land forcibly exiled, relocated, 395 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: or killed in the millions, and those who were left 396 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: were basically forced onto these collective farms where there was 397 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: no incentive to really do anything, and you know, they 398 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: were really not paid anything, and they were also tied 399 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: to the lands. So Stalin brought back served them to Russia. 400 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: So he took the stripped the peasants of their path sports, 401 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: so they couldn't leave the farms without special permission, So 402 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: effectively they became slaves and had to produce for the 403 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: state alongside this huge gulag system, which actually Lenin began building, 404 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: not Stalin. That's sort of a big myth that you 405 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: hear from the left that it was Stalin who built 406 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: the gulags and the concentration camps. Lenin and Trotsky began that. 407 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: Stalin expanded it and made it far grander and more institutionalized, 408 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: but it really began already with Lenin. And so those 409 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: two aspects of the regime that emerged, this sort of 410 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: forced collectivization, the Schoologs system and the militarization of the 411 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: Soviet unions gearing up for what eventually became the Second 412 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: World War. Those were the animating themes of Stalin's reign 413 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: throughout the nineteen thirties. Okay, and just real quick, boris, 414 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: what does I understand that the Communists don't have any 415 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: regard for human life? I get that part of it. 416 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: But what does Stalin practically get out of starving millions 417 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: of Ukrainians today and people, as you pointed out elsewhere 418 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union? What does that benefit him? In reality? 419 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: On the one hand, it was just ideological contempt for 420 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: the peasantry, the same kind that Lennon had, but more narrowly, 421 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: it was a hard currency. He basically, while millions of 422 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: peasants were starving to death, Soviet grain exports to Germany 423 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: by the way, including to Nazi Germany by that point, 424 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: and abroad to Western countries was increased. So you had 425 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: a mass famine happening in your country while you're exporting 426 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: huge amounts of grain abroad. And the reason was to 427 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: get the hard currency to build the factories and to 428 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: eventually build the tanks and to militarize. That was his priority, 429 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: to gear the country up for war and to push 430 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 1: through this rapid industrialization which required outside investment, and the 431 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: only thing that the Soviet Union could at that point 432 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: really export that would give him the hard currencies was grain. 433 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: Boris Rifkin.

You should feel 465 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: embarrassed on behalf of your nature because we look terrible 466 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: to the rest of the world right now, there's not 467 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: a way to put it. This is in international international embarrassment. 468 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: America has been the global superpower for your entire lifetime. 469 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: It has. We took over that rule right about the 470 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: end of World War One. That's when we really became 471 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: top dog, and we've been top dog ever since. It's 472 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: about one hundred years. The world is looking right now 473 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: and they're asking, are they still top dog?

That was me back from 476 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: August after Afghanistan. Look where we are now. Look you 477 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: know what the Kremlin just said. You might not have heard. 478 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: It just came out like five seconds ago. Kremlin just 479 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: said they're not worried about the sanctions. They knew all 480 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: the sanctions were coming because we told them were they 481 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: were all coming. What a bunch of idiots we have. Again, 482 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: it's a people world. We forget that we have all 483 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: these over educated nerds over there. I went to Harvard 484 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: for nine thousand years. Yeah, but you don't know people. 485 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: You can't read the room, you don't know what makes 486 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: people tick, So you're useless.

I tell you about Pure talk a lot. 489 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: And you know you've seen the things Verizon at and 490 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: T and T Mobile do with your money.

CEOs, a 494 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: Vietnam veteran. They love this country, American customer service.

Some kids sneak off and listen to it 517 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: when they're supposed to be going to sleep. That gives 518 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: me a sense of responsibility.

My friend didn't, but I did, and shortly 568 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: thereafter I started throwing up. So I went to the 569 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: edge of the roof to try to throw up and 570 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 1: then ended up falling off the roof. To this day, 571 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't drink snops or brush my teeth with peppermint 572 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: tooth taste. Thank you, Ken.

I mean, let's remember, we Americans, we just 580 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: watched our friendly neighbor to the north take a bunch 581 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: of peaceful, fun loving truckers and they stumped their heads 582 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: into the ground for days on end.
