1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800

10

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: for two hours. I came back in the room and

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: deadliest war in history? And how do you quantify that? Well?

21
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: If you're going total body count. That's clearly going to

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: be old w W two because of the Russia thing

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: was a little ugly. But on a per capita basis

24
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: for a country, what is the deadliest war in the

25
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: history of mankind? Couple of things. One, there's a great

26
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: chance you've never even heard of this war. Two, it's

27
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: more recent than you think. It's called the Paraguayan War.

28
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Never even heard Yeah, look at you, Chris, never even

29
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: heard of it, have you? And by the time the

30
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Paraguayan War was done, ninety percent of the Paraguayan men

31
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: were dead, not nine, not thirty nine, not forty nine.

32
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Nine zero percent of the men were dead, two thirds

33
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: of the entire population. God per capita by a mile,

34
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the deadliest conflict that I can tell in human history,

35
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and people don't even know it exists. I don't even

36
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: know when it happened. Eighteen sixties is when it happened.

37
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Think our Civil War and don't discount that, And don't

38
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: feel bad if you didn't know about it. You don't

39
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: know about things till you do know about things now

40
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: you do the fact that our Civil War happened at

41
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the exact time. That's a huge reason why you, and frankly,

42
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: most of the world doesn't know about the Paraguayan War

43
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: because our Civil war was so significant, not just for

44
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: the United States of America, for world affairs. The United

45
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: States of America fighting itself, fighting itself over the issues

46
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: of slavery and states rights, showing the rest of the

47
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: world where to go where not to go. That had

48
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: such a huge impact on the known world. Who's thinking

49
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: about Paraguay. But it's still an ugly, ugly conflict in

50
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: one we should take just a little bit of time

51
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: on today. Here's the situation on the ground in South

52
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: America in general in the eighteen hundreds. What period are

53
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: we coming out of in the eighteen sixties kind of

54
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: coming out of, frankly still probably in a little bit.

55
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: We're coming out of the colonial period, right, There's a

56
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: reason they all speak Spanish or Portuguese in South America.

57
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Who do you think colonized the place? Brazil's Portuguese, there's

58
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: a couple others that are Portuguese, rest are Spanish. And

59
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: we're in an era now, eighteen sixties where these countries

60
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: are no longer colonies, or for the most part, no

61
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: longer colonies. You know, Spain has really lost everything. By

62
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: this point, remember they lost in Mexico, and I think

63
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: it was eighteen twenty one. The Spanish hold on Latin

64
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: America had just evaporated. Their country was in such dire

65
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: straits they couldn't control things over there. They definitely couldn't

66
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: control colonies across the ocean. So they're just letting things go.

67
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: And there's a period of time right now, well at

68
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: that point in time that I find to be so

69
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: fascinating because I've never gone through this. You've probably never

70
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: gone through this, but people have gone through the salon

71
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: in history, and boy, it must be unsettling. I'm talking

72
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: about the period of time where your country is trying

73
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: to figure out what kind of government it even wants.

74
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: Your country's trying to figure out in some of these cases,

75
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: is I'll explain it in a second, if it even

76
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: wants to be a country. I mean, should we start

77
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: our own thing or should we just join them? I

78
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: mean they want us in. I don't know. Isn't that

79
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: so odd? Isn't it so odd to think? But it

80
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: is the history of mankind. Okay, we're independent now, the

81
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: Portugal's gone, well, I mean, what do you guys want

82
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: to do monarchy or I don't, I don't know. And

83
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: it was that it was wealthy, powerful people trying to

84
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes just pure patriots, sometimes spear scumbags trying to

85
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: put together the country and figure out what do we

86
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: even want to be? What do we even call it?

87
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: What are we? And they went different directions Brazil at

88
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: this point. But we're gonna be dealing with all right,

89
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's deal with this right now. We're

90
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna be dealing with four total countries today. It's easy,

91
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: not confusing. We're gonna be dealing with Brazil. You obviously

92
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: know where Brazil is. It's the one country on the

93
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: map all of us can label without hesitation. In South America,

94
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: everybody knows where Brazil is, the gigantic one on the

95
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: eastern side. Okay, so we're dealing with Brazil. We're dealing

96
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: with Uruguay, Paraguay, in Argentina. I don't expect you to

97
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: have a map in front of you. It never hurts

98
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: to pull one up. If you're able to and take

99
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: a quick glance at things, just helps you get situated

100
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: when you're hearing a story. When I'm telling a story,

101
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: anybody's story. But just know this. You know you got Brazil,

102
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: you know where Brazil is. And remember Brazil is huge.

103
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: South of Brazil and this is a big time over simplification.

104
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: On the southwest side of Brazil is Paraguay, on the

105
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: southeast side is Uruguay. And in the south middle a

106
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: little bit is Argentina. And Argentina is another huge country

107
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: clear down to basically the southern tip of South America.

108
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Paraguay is landlocked, and that's going to matter. Argentina ton

109
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: of ocean. Uruguay, I mean half the country has got

110
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: a border with the ocean. Brazil obviously a ton of ocean.

111
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Paraguay no ocean. Totally landlocked. Paraguay is only even a

112
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: thing because of the Spanish. And when I say because

113
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: of the Spanish, it's because of this. The Spanish were

114
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: obviously exploring everywhere in South America back when they were

115
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: hunting for gold. They thought Paraguay would be a great

116
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: route from the Atlantic over to the Andes Mountains where

117
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: they were expecting to find boatloads of gold. You know,

118
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: the Spanish were always on the lookout for gold and

119
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Paraguays right in between. So oh look, this is gonna

120
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: be great terrain. Except again, remember they're exploring places that

121
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: had never been explored before unless you count by the

122
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: native tribes. But they're not sharing such information. It turns

123
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: out there is no route from Paraguay to the Andes Mountains.

124
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: So it was founded on something that didn't even turn

125
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: out to be true. Not heavily valued, not exactly super

126
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: rich and natural resources although it has so many tropical

127
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: countries going to have some because you can grow things

128
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: in the tropics. The situation for each individual nation at

129
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: this time was Brazil had a monarchy. They just flat

130
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: out had a king. Brazil had a couple other interesting

131
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: things going on. One it was still a slave country

132
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: at this time. Hard to point fingers at them, so

133
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: were we. And there's another couple really interesting things. Hang on.

134
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly returns next. Hometitlelock dot com can save you

135
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of trouble. This stories people tell about

136
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: having their home titles stolen. It's nightmarish stuff and it's

137
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: not something you think about, right It's not something I

138
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: ever thought about until I heard about these FBI statistics.

139
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: My jaw fell open. Home title theft is the online

140
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: crime right now. It's the preferred crime of the cybercriminals. One,

141
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the money's great for them. Two it's so easy. It's

142
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: nothing for them to access your home title I'm mine.

143
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: It's just not difficult. And because of the way it works,

144
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: they're off scott free by the time you even knew

145
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,920

148
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: Brazil has an interesting situation. They're huge, it's a monarchy,

149
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: they're all about slavery. Still, they're looked down on by

150
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: some of the other nations in Latin America, but while

151
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: at the same time pretty much being the most powerful

152
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: nation in Latin America. It's very odd, and this part

153
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: I found to be very fascinating. Brazil it's very unusual

154
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: throughout history looked down on its troops that, like the

155
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: population as a whole, they were thought to be kind

156
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: of the low end scumbags of society. It's very very odd,

157
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and look, there's a chance, and let's be honest, probably

158
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: an above average chance they earn that reputation in a

159
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: society that's so out of whack. You know, society is

160
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: built on slavery, just can't ever put themselves together the

161
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: right way. It just doesn't work when you have access,

162
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, setting aside the obviously moral failings of it,

163
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: when you have access to free this and free that,

164
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: it throws societies out of whack. Not to be too

165
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: blunt about it, but when you have a human being

166
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: you can force to work, do as you please, cook

167
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: for you, tutor your kids. Remember the Romans had slaves

168
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: all over the place that ran the gamut from the

169
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: salt minds to tutors who were treated very well. Trying

170
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: to think of the best way to put this with

171
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: the family show, female slaves, you understand what I'm saying,

172
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: that you can order to do as you please. Obviously,

173
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: on top of that being freaking horrific. It screws up

174
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: society if you no longer have this built in system

175
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: of the male female pursuit. Much better if you're out

176
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: there trying to track one down yourself so you can

177
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: grab her and put a ring on it and settle

178
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: down with her. It's just it's better for society in general.

179
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: So they were screwed up anyway, and the troops, such

180
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: as they were, were Ruffians. This is a pretty rough law.

181
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Argentina a different story, and not necessarily a better story.

182
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Argentina was essentially an oligarchy at the time. They just

183
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: had a bunch of nobles. I guess you'd call them

184
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: business leaders running things. Well, that doesn't generally work well

185
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: because businessmen business leaders, they compete with each other. So

186
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: Argentina was a fairly divided country amongst itself. Paraguay not

187
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: any better. Paraguay was ran and it's so I find

188
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: it so odd how people describe one thing versus another

189
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: thing when I view them as the same thing. If

190
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: you look officially and how the governments were set up

191
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: at the time. Brazil was a monarchy. Paraguay was an

192
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: authoritarian place run by one guy. Well, what's the difference,

193
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: you know? I mean, I don't understand what the difference is.

194
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: You're calling just because you're calling one king and you're

195
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: not calling the other king, it's the same thing. But

196
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: that's what Paraguay is, run by a man named Lopez.

197
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Here's where we get went wrong. There's already tension between

198
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: the countries. I don't want you to feel like they're

199
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: getting a wall. Paraguay run by an authoritarian however, and

200
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: this will come into play here. Paraguay did have an

201
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: interesting military system. I'm not going to call it a

202
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: good one, but it was certainly one that had some

203
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: good things to it. They didn't wear shoes, they didn't

204
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: wear boots. And I know what you're thinking, that's crazy.

205
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: It's got to be hard on the feet and all that.

206
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, all that stuff's true. I wouldn't recommend that

207
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: if you start your own country and start an army. However,

208
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: they did it so they could make sure everybody was

209
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: on even ground when they join the military. It's a

210
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: real band of brothers type thing. Oh, I'm from a

211
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: wealthy family, you're from a poor family. None of that matters.

212
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Neither of us. Neither of us have shoes. Now you

213
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: may roll your eyes at that, maybe you think that's

214
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: just some symbolic thing. There's a real psychological impact of that.

215
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Why do you think they sit everybody down in boot

216
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: camp and buzz off all the hair off their heads

217
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: right when you get there in Marine Corps boot camp,

218
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: not only do they buzz off the hair, you're not

219
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: even allowed to refer to yourself. Do you know that

220
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say me myself, I You're only

221
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: allowed to refer to yourself as this recruit completely and

222
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: people can winde about, Oh, that's so dehumanizing. Yeah, they're

223
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: trying to make you into something else. So it was

224
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of cool. That part of the system is kind

225
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: of cool. And there's tension between the nations. Argentine as

226
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: kind of chirping at Paraguay, Paraguays kind of chirping at Brazil,

227
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: but all of it's kind of okay. Now I know

228
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, What about Uruguay, And it's funny you

229
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: should bring that up, because they're actually the catalyst for

230
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: this whole ugly affair. Uruguay was a nation at this time.

231
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: There was a Uruguay kind of what I say, kind of,

232
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it existed, but as you look at a map,

233
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: you can see they're sandwiched right in between Argentina and Brazil,

234
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: and they existed as kind of Remember I said, the

235
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: nations were finding their own way, figuring out what they

236
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: wanted to be, who they wanted to be, what they

237
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: wanted to do. Uruguay just kind of thought they were

238
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: about to be absorbed by Brazil, in Argentina and big

239
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: parts of Uruguay were totally okay with it. Now. Don't

240
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: get me wrong. There was a rebellion faction that wanted

241
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: Uruguay to be Uruguay and their own thing, and that's

242
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: really cool too. But there was a significant portions of

243
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: the country. We're thinking to themselves, whatever, I mean, we'll

244
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: see whoever wants us. It's fine wild to think about,

245
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: isn't it. Imagine that being you. I mean, I don't

246
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: know who's gonna take us, Canada or Mexico. I'm sure

247
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: one of them it's somebody. Let me know, someone, let

248
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: me know. I mean, Canada seems like a pretty cool place,

249
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: but Mexico as hotter women. I guess whatever, we'll see

250
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: how it works. I don't know, Canadian chicks are pretty

251
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: hot too, Chris. We can't sell them short. Yes they are, Chris,

252
00:19:48,960 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: that's surd that's the situation. Brazil decides they're gonna move

253
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: this situation along a little in Brazil marches down towards Uruguay,

254
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: but not in competition with Argentina. Joining with Argentina, They're

255
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: just going to give Uruguay the old fashioned poland spit

256
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: roast like Poland got in World War Two. Let's just

257
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: jump in and let's just do this thing, right, And

258
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: what are they worried about? Nothing? You're certainly not going

259
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: to worry about a place like Paraguay when you're Brazil

260
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: and you're Argentina and you dwarf Paraguay in size and

261
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: numbers and strength. Paraguay is not nothing at this point,

262
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: but I mean compared to Brazil and Argentina, that's just nothing. Nothing.

263
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: What are they going to do attack us over it? Yeah? Yeah,

264
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: they will actually, because it turns out this guy Lopez

265
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: is a card carrying psychopath. He decides to just go

266
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: ahead and seize a Brazilian ship that's sailing. He decides

267
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: to invade Brazil with his small army. So Brazil and

268
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Argentina invade Uruguay, and Paraguay looks at that and they're mad,

269
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: and they think we should go down south and help Uruguay.

270
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: You know what we're gonna do first, though, We're going

271
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: north and we're invading Brazil. Yeah. One in three adults

272
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: has pre diabetes. One in three. That means it could

273
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: be you your football buddy, your fruitball buddy, or you

274
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: your man you're a worst man. You you're a dog walker,

275
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: You're a cat jugger. While one in three adults has

276
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: pre diabetes, with early diagnosis, pre diabetes can be reversed.

277
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Take the risk test at do I have pre diabetes

278
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: dot org? That's do I have pre diabetes dot org?

279
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: Wait did they just say one in three adults has

280
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: pre diabetes. That's thirty three point three three three percent

281
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: of adults. That means it could be me my boss

282
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: or my boss's boss, or me my favorite sister or

283
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: my other sister. That's seven members of my twenty one

284
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: person romantic book club. Wait, the one in three could

285
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: be me my karaoke partner Carol, or my karaoke enemy, Jeff.

286
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the risk test that do I

287
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: have pre diabetes dot org? Brought to you by the

288
00:22:46,280 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: AD Council, and it's pre Diabetes Awareness Partners. Brazil Argentina

289
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: decide they're taken off down to Uruguay. Paraguay is upset

290
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: by this so and honestly it is the most bizarre move.

291
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: Maybe the guy was crazy like a fox. But Lopez

292
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the man who ran Paraguay, and I do mean Lopez.

293
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: They have an interesting military structure where the authoritarian Lopez

294
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: really calls all the shots. He doesn't delegate much authority.

295
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't have some genius general. He's you know, well,

296
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: our general, I'll leave this up to you. Just conceptually

297
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: do this. No, he's running things. Instead of pushing south

298
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: to help the people in Uruguay who were on his side,

299
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: he invades the much larger, much more powerful Brazil. I'm

300
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: still stunned. I tried to figure out what his thinking was.

301
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he was trying to pull the Brazilians off. Either way, Yeah,

302
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: he takes a little bit of Brazil, because clearly Brazil

303
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: didn't see it coming. Brazil's all, wait what And not

304
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: only did he take, you know, a little piece of Brazil,

305
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: he took a totally useless piece. I guess he was

306
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: thinking there'll be tons of stuff there and this wasn't

307
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: anything Brazil didn't even I haven't defended. They're all, what

308
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: have you been there? He sees this, turns around and

309
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: looks south at Uruguay and says, oh, well, I guess

310
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: we better get down there now, and takes off for Uruguay.

311
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: But remember this is the eighteen sixties, not the nineteen sixties.

312
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: You can only move armies at this time as fast

313
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: as a man can walk, as fast as a man

314
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: can walk in the swamp and the heat and the disease,

315
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: and look, it's just brutal in every possible way. It's

316
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: just brutal to fight in a jungle, it is. Chris

317
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: asked if that's the worst place to march, it's the

318
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: worst place to fight. I would say I never had

319
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: to fight there. I'd training in the jungle. The worst

320
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: place to march is the sand. The sand absolutely sucks

321
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: the life out of you because you step forward and

322
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: it pulls you back and down. You have to put

323
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: in twice as much effort to humped through the sand.

324
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: It's similar to snow, but the sand is worse. They

325
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: had this huge hill in twenty nine Palms, California, where

326
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: I was stationed, and they just flat out called it

327
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: sand hill. And I'm doing this off of memory, so

328
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: my measurements maybe way off. If you, if you've been there,

329
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: email me with the corrections with however, I'm wrong about it.

330
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: It's called sand hill. Anyone who's been in twenty nine Palms,

331
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I know what I mean. I want to say it's

332
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: five hundred feet up, maybe that's wrong about is five

333
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: hundred feet up, sloping from bottom to top. But because

334
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: of where it's situated and kind of the sandy desert hills,

335
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: the sand is so deep, I mean sometimes halfway up

336
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: your shins deep. And so when you're out on a

337
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: pt run or something, if they feel like being jerks,

338
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: you'll be. You'll be on the way back to the

339
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: barracks and you'll think, I'm almost done. They never told you.

340
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: I always hated this, hated and they do what on purpose.

341
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: It's healthy for you, it's good. It's built up mental toughness.

342
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: They never ever ever told you how far you were going.

343
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: You would take off on a run, and sometimes they'd

344
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: be a couple of miles and sometimes it'd be eight

345
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: and you didn't know. And they would do things like

346
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: run you back towards the barracks and you know which

347
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: direction you're going, and you're like, oh gosh and goodness,

348
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: some sucking wind back here, and you're heading back to

349
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: the barracks and you're almost to the barracks, and then

350
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: they veer off and head towards Sandhill. Let's run sand

351
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: Hill once. Oh, you want to talk about ripping your

352
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: heart out of your chests, and they do the same

353
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: thing on long humps too. You're out humping through the

354
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: desert on the way back to me, and there's the

355
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: best feeling in the world. You have this base twenty

356
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: nine Palms, and then you have this chain of hills

357
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: behind it, and there's a ton of twenty nine palms

358
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: past those hills. But that's really what you can see

359
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: when you're in twenty nine Palms is the hills. And

360
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: so you go on these humps and you take off

361
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: and hump over the hills, and then you're out into

362
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: the wilderness and you're humping all over the place. And

363
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: when you're humping back and you finally crest the hills

364
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: and you're looking down this long slope towards the base,

365
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: and remember, a hump is like the most grueling thing

366
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: you can do to your body. You feel like you're dying.

367
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: It's the greatest feeling in the world. When you crest

368
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: those hills and you're looking down and you know, Okay,

369
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: I just have to survive for another half a mile

370
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: downhill and we'll be fine. And they would do the

371
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: same thing to you. Sometimes you'd start walking down the

372
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: hill and they just hook a left or right towards

373
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: sandhill and you're like, oh, that's it. I'm not gonna

374
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: make it. Someone call my mom and tell her I

375
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: love her. I'm not I'm not coming home anyway. The swamp, though,

376
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: is bad too, and these guys are all humping through

377
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: the swamp mud disease. It's just it's really really bad

378
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: access to clean water. It's a huge problem. Part of

379
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: the reason the jungle is so difficult, and part of

380
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: the reason this conflict is so difficult, is the jungle

381
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: dehydrates you. Obviously because of the heat and the humidity.

382
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: It's sucking water out of your body. Plus the stress

383
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: of being in battle or about to be in battle,

384
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: that's sucking more water water out of your body, plus

385
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: the dysentery. You need to drink water. You need to

386
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: drink a lot of water in that environment. If you

387
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: if Chris and I we're going on a one day

388
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: ten miles through the swamp, you know, forget that, call

389
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: it five five miles through the swamps of Paraguay, we

390
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: would each have to have at least I would guess

391
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: a gallon of water on us and probably be super

392
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: hydrate going into it. And I mean a hike. I

393
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: don't mean a battle hike, Chris, and I throw it

394
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: on a backpack and walking through it just sucks the

395
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: water out of your body. Well, how much water is

396
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: an army consuming? Where are you getting that water? Well,

397
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm getting at now. You have a

398
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who are drinking dirty water to survive.

399
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: But the dirty water gives you the green apples flatters,

400
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: and the green apples flatters dehydrates you further. You see

401
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: him where I'm getting it's just brutal, even for people

402
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: who live in that climate, it's brutal to fight there.

403
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: So he tries to march back down to Uruguay. Uruguay

404
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: has already fallen by now. And if you did that

405
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: thing earlier, where you looked at a map, you'll know

406
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. But there's this little strip of

407
00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: land that's Argentina in between Paraguay and Uruguay. Paraguay and

408
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: Uruguay are not sharing a border, they're not. There's a

409
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: strip of Argentina through there. So Paraguay, who currently has

410
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: no conflict with Argentina, They've started a big conflict with Brazil,

411
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: but no conflict with Argentina Paraguay says to Argentina, Hey,

412
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: this little strip of ground between us and Uruguay, We're

413
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: going to march some troops through that, okay. And Argentina

414
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: says not okay, And Paraguay says, okay, we're a war

415
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: with you two. I know, I know. It's it's part

416
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: of being under a monarchy or i'm sorry, an authoritarian regime.

417
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: It actually can work out really great for you if

418
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: you get a good one. But you get a bad

419
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: one and they can seal the doom of you and

420
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: everybody you've ever loved. The guy started a fight on

421
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: purpose with two nations that dwarfed him in size. Now

422
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Argentina declares war. Oh and did I mentioned already? I

423
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: know I did. Uruguay has already fallen. Well, they're controlled

424
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: by the other guys now, so they joined in the

425
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: fight against Paraguay, who was coming down to heart your help, Uruguay.

426
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Now it's Paraguay against three countries. Now it's Uguay. Feeling

Speaker 1: deficit is going to be this year? I just saw

436
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: an article that said sixty percent, sixty of business closures permanent.

441
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: Maybe not hard enough on Lopez. It just depends on

442
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: who you talk to. When we get to the end, though,

443
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: you may find yourself the little soft spot for him.

444
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: Give me a second. Now, Argentina and Brazil are coming. Now,

445
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: they're invading Paraguay. But Paraguay does have some advantages here. Yes,

446
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: they're being invaded by two very, very very powerful countries,

447
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: at least compared to them. I don't want to act

448
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: like Brazil and Argentina are powerful, but compared to Paraguay,

449
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: they certainly are However, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay have a

450
00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: real issue one leadership. It is extremely, extremely difficult in

451
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: any conflict to get nations to join together in coordinate

452
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: their military operations properly. Do you have any idea how

453
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: gigantic the size of a general's ego is. They're huge,

454
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: they're generals. Every one of them thinks they're Hannibal Barka

455
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: and Alexander the Great rolled up into one. Therefore, it's

456
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: very difficult to get them together. They say. The greatest

457
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: thing Eisenhower ever did was that pull generals, powerful capable

458
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: men from other nations together and lead them and guide them.

459
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: It's hard. Oftentimes it fails spectacularly. This is one of

460
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: those times. And not to just put it all on

461
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: the generals. The troops aren't very good at all. Not

462
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: only are they trained kind of average, they're not motivated.

463
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: Remember Brazil, the Ruffian troops they didn't think highly of.

464
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: Brazil had to basically farm for volunteers to come invade Paraguay.

465
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Just because Brazil is a huge country didn't meant it

466
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: had a gigantic military. And all right, it's a lot

467
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: easier to find volunteers when you're trying to defend your

468
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: own town. How hard would it be to talk you

469
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: into arming up and defending your house? But not difficult, right,

470
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't even have to ask. How difficult would

471
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: it be to talk you into arming up and invading

472
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Mexico City? More difficult? Significantly, You sign up as a

473
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: volunteer for the Brazilian army and now you're invading Paraguay.

474
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even care about Paraguay already. That's

475
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: that's a problem. The coordination is a problem. And to

476
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: their credit, remember I talked about the barefoot thing. The

477
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: Paraguayan military. Paraguayan Paraguayan. They are fierce fighters, they are

478
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: loyal to each other, and now they're being invaded. How

479
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: many times have you and I had this conversation? It

480
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: is very hard to invade another country because right back

481
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: to the question we just had, how hard would you

482
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: defend your house? You're invading someone else's country. They will

483
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: fight you to the death. They lay siege to a

484
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: Paraguay and fort. The Paraguayans knew they were coming, they'd

485
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: stocked up on supplies. So the Allies, which is what

486
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: they called the Brazil Argentina Uruguay Army. They called them

487
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: the Allies. The Allies are having a real rough go

488
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: of it because Paraguay knew they were coming stocked up

489
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: and they're fine. Meanwhile, you have a bunch of fairly

490
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: untrained troops who don't want to be there, camping out

491
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: in a swamp. That's miserable. Sieges aren't only miserable for

492
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: the people inside the place that's under siege, They're miserable

493
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: for the ones who are laying it. To make matters

494
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: worse Paraguay, they really foster a spirit of aggression. They

495
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: do not hide behind the walls. They take small units

496
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: out and do essentially terror campaigns out against the brazil

497
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: millions and the Argentineans. They'll send thirty guys out and

498
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: cut some centuries head off and leave his headless body there.

499
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: And stories like that spread, especially when you don't want

500
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: to be there. Oh my gosh, it's so hot. I

501
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: have so many mosquito bites. Wait, what happened to Larry

502
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: last night? Oh this is not this is not good.

503
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to go home. So you've got a problem. However,

504
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: Paraguay has virtually no chance to win this war in

505
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: the end, and the other people know it, so they

506
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: choose to essentially abandon this fort and invade behind it.

507
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: You don't have to attack a fort, attack somewhere else.

508
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: Paraguay is now on their heels and will stay on

509
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: their heels throughout. But we're at the point in the

510
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: story where I start to admire Lopez a little bit.

511
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: And this is what I mean. Lopez is outnumbered. Lopez's

512
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: army runs into the Brazilian Argentine forces, and he's heavily outnumbered,

513
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 1: and he well, Hey, wake up and text, text and eat,

514
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Text and catch the bus, Text and miss her stop

00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: complain that you're on your phone the whole time. Text

00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: and whatever. But when you get behind the wheel, give

523
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: your phone to a passenger, put it in the glovebox.

524
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 1: Just don't text and drive. Visit stop texts. Stoprex dot

525
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: org a public service announcement brought to you by the

526
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the ad Council. Lopez

527
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: at a place called to Uti again a swamp, heavily outnumbered. Besides,

528
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: he's going to charge. He's going to attack. Apparently it

529
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: was horrifying for the opposing troops who didn't believe what

530
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: they were seeing, a bunch of these insane Paraguayans charging

531
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: them on horseback with spears. But Lopez is starting to

532
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: have some severe issues on the home front. You see,

533
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: he may be the authoritarian, but he isn't the only

534
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: one with power, and a lot of very wealthy people

535
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: in his country, powerful people, the upper class families. They

536
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: think this is suicide and they're starting to defect to

537
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: the Allied forces. Well, Lopez is certainly not a man

538
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: to take such things laying down. He has what he

539
00:42:49,560 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: thinks is a solution for these traders. Hang on. Jesse

540
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: Kelly returns next. This is the Jesse Kelly Show. The

541
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Battle of to Uti ends, Paraguay begins to collapse. Lopez

542
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: has his upper class people becoming traders going to other countries.

543
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: He then takes their relatives and puts them in the

544
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: front front lines. Of the army, where they all die.

545
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: The Paraguayan capital falls. Paraguay loses the war. However, Lopez

546
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: isn't done. Lopez continues a year long guerrilla fighting campaign.

547
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: Finally he has more traders in his ranks. They go

548
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: over to the other side and direct the other side

549
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: to where Lopez is to where Lopez and his guy are.

550
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: Lopez is heavily involved in the fighting at this point.

551
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't mean sitting back pointing fingers. This dude is

552
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: out there. He finds himself with a spear in his

553
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: stomach and a sword wound on his head. I actually

554
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: think he had removed the spear. His troops are completely routed.

555
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: He is laid by a river dying. He's sitting by

556
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: this river with his sword wounded and bleeding in The

557
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: opposing general approaches him and says, okay, brother, you're done.

558
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you live. Just surrender. Lopez says, I

559
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: die with my nation and attacks with the sword and

560
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: they kill him. Like I said, you were going to

561
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: end up having a little bit of a soft spot

562
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: for the guy. Right one, he's out there in the

563
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: mud and the blood two and two, that's kind of

564
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: a cool way to go. You and I we take

565
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: things for granted. And that's not some dig at either

566
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: of us, not you or me. It's human nature. It's

567
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: human nature to have certain things you get used to,

568
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: or certain things you know, and just not dwell on them,

569
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: not think about them. How many times have you had

570
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: a bad moment or two and thought to yourself, oh, man,

571
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: life sucks right now? Many times have you thought that

572
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: or said that You have at some point, we all have.

573
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm not pointing figures. Maybe you got maybe you got

574
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: passed over for a promotion at work, maybe you got

575
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: laid off, big fight with the wife, maybe you're getting

576
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: maybe maybe a divorce from the husband, something terrible, really

577
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: terrible problems with your kids. Who knows that life, life's

578
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: gonna bring your problems, And you make all encompassing statements

579
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: like life sucks right now, don't ever lose sight of

580
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: the fact we are extremely blessed to not live in

581
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: certain times, in certain places, you and I have only

582
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: ever known relative government stability. Whether you love the guy

583
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,959
Speaker 1: or hate the guy. Everyone hates Congress in general. Half

584
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: the country at least hates the president, and sometimes the

585
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: president's an idiot. Sometimes you really hate him. I hated

586
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, hated still the United States of America as

587
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: a whole, as a nation, safe, stable, clean, and we

588
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: take it for granted, and we've taken it for granted

589
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: for so long that we've lost an appreciation of how

590
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: rare that is. Instability is the history of the world.

591
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 1: And I say this because I, to put it very frank,

592
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: I see troubles coming, and not minor troubles in my lifetime. No,

593
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be all this election and then

594
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a palace coup and then I'm not

595
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: saying that stuff. I don't believe that. But in my lifetime,

596
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: I see real, real troubles coming, the kind of trouble

597
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: where people die. And it's causing me because I see

598
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: these troubles coming, it's causing me to look back on

599
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: the thirty nine years I've had on this earth and

600
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: appreciate them a bit more. I feel like the storm

601
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: is on the horizon and I'm taking some more time

602
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: than I normally do now to just look around and

603
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: thank God for my blessings and thank God for the

604
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: dry season, because I think the wet season's coming. They

605
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: do it's ugly out there, and oddly, I think one

606
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: of the catalysts for it was the coronavirus fiasco. You

607
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: can argue the coronavirus simply revealed how far we've wrought

608
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: it as a society, and I would agree. But whether

609
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: it revealed it or not, when the United States of America,

610
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: when it's citizens have completely lost the meaning of the

611
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: word free, that does not spell good things for the

612
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: future of this country. I want you to listen to

613
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: Agbar something he said real quick, and we're going to

614
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: talk about this. Putting a national lockdown, stay at home

615
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: orders is like house arrest, it's it's it's you know,

616
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: other than slay avery, which was a different kind of restraint.

617
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: This is the greatest contrusion on civil liberties in American history.

618
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: He's right, But that's not the problem. The problem is

619
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: America laid down for it without a second thought. Without

620
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: a second thought, people thought governors and mayors actually have

621
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: the authority to force this business to close and leave

622
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: that one open. People were debating all over the place,

623
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: should we lock down, shouldn't we locked own? I can't

624
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: decide what's the safest thing. What's the medical community say?

625
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: Did anyone ask this doctor, And very few of us

626
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 1: stood up and asked, I don't care what the doctor said.

627
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say we should or shouldn't do.

628
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: You don't have the authority to destroy us like that.

629
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: The American answer when a politician tells you to close

630
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: down your business is go f yourself, come make me.

631
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: That's the American answer. That's what free people do, and

632
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: that's what a people who appreciate their freedoms do. And

633
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: it's not as if I'm pointing fingers and saying it's

634
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 1: all the fault of the American people. We just, over time,

635
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: as happens in nations, especially wealthy ones, we simply have

636
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: lost touch with what made us great, with what made

637
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: us different. And once you've lost that, once you've lost

638
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: what it means to be free. I mean, the end

639
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: game's already here. Your holster is way more important than

640
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: you think it is. It's just way more important than

641
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: you think it is. What look, and I get that

642
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: the holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms. All right,

643
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: You want to talk about your weapon and your ammunition.

644
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: You want to talk about your safety training. You want

645
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: to talk about how you did at the range. I'll

646
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: look at my groups. I was doing these failure drills today,

647
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: and all that stuff is really important. I mean really

648
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: really important. I'm not discounting that, but I've known so

649
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: many people who do all those things. They take all

650
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: the necessary steps, and then they carry with a holster

651
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: they bought from a big box hunting store that was

652
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: made a thousand at a time. Please don't put your

653
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: life in one of those holsters. You need to trust

654
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 1: Northwest Retention Systems because it's all custom made gear. It's

655
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 1: the only thing I carry around NW retention dot Com

656
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,479
Speaker 1: that's Nuretention dot Com used the promo co Jesse it's

657
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,359
