1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. Let me 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: ask you a question, a dark one. I know you're 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: gonna find that shocking, but it's a dark one. Hear 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: me out going somewhere with it. If I were to 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: hand you a rifle when you could shoot, so if 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: you don't know how to shoot, just assume I magically 25 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: gave you those powers. And I pointed out a bad 26 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: guy to you two hundred yards away, two football fields, 27 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: and I told you to kill him. Do you think 28 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: you could do it? Now? This is not murder, whatever 29 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the circumstances, it's completely justified. Picture the worst scum in 30 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: the world. It's a pedophile two hundred yards away, completely legal. 31 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: You're in no trouble. Do you think you could do it? 32 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Could you make yourself look down those sites and pull 33 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: the trigger? Producer Chris says yes. I'm sure many of 34 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: you say yes. I'm sure many of you say no. 35 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: But how many half my audience i'd say said yes? Now? 36 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: As soon as I pointed out it was a pedophile, 37 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: that number probably went up a little bit. Let's guess. 38 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Let's guess seventy no legal ramifications, some guy who hurts kids. 39 00:02:51,880 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: Boom joh. Now let me ask you this. If I 40 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: were to hand you a pistol, not a rifle, a pistol, 41 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: and I were to lock you in an elevator with 42 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: that man, he can't hurt you. But I were to 43 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: lock you in an elevator with him, he's allowed to 44 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: talk to you. Did you do it? Think about that, 45 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: Think about the difference in what happens right next to 46 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: him in the elevator. No matter what he's done. You 47 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: hear him talk, You hear him beg, You hear him cry, 48 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: You hear him scream, You hear him yell. You can 49 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: smell him, you can see the whites of his eyes. 50 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: I bring up smelling because it's something people never think about. 51 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: You don't really think about it unless you make yourself 52 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: think about it. It's the one thing you can't get 53 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: as far as information goes anymore. We have endless I've 54 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: got my radio show, we got podcasts, we got TV, 55 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: we got everything. But you can't smell it. You can 56 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: see it, you could hear it, you can't smell it. 57 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: How much did that number go down when I put 58 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: you in the elevator. Probably a lot. There's something uniquely 59 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: terrible about urban warfare. Tell you a brief story before 60 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: we kick off our official story for the day. I 61 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: was in the Marine Corps infantry, and you train all 62 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: the time as an infantry guy. We're always and I 63 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: was stationed in twenty nine Palms and we're always going 64 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: out to the middle of the desert doing all these 65 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: live fire exercises and shoots. And you're practicing this and 66 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: practicing that you can change mags and put rounds down range, 67 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: and in your mind, pretty pretty good, right, I can 68 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: handle this. In our mind. Our Marine Corps Infant Infantry Platoon, 69 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: we're the cock of the block running things around here. 70 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: Pretty tough, right. They started to get an inkling that 71 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: we were going to go to war in Iraq, and 72 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: our company first sergeant, he's the head enlisted guy of 73 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: your company. He sets something up for us. He sets 74 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: up this. We are going to change out our M sixteen. 75 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: You can, you can, briefly, it's difficult to describe. You 76 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: remove a part of your M sixteen and put a 77 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: new part on it. And what it does is it 78 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: shoots little nine millimeter bullets, but their paintballs. And now 79 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: this is not paintball. You have to it'll break the skin. 80 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: It's a nine millimeter round, only the end of it 81 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: that shoots his paint. So you have to wear goggles. 82 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: You have to wear a cut protector to protect the 83 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: old boys. It's so we change all those out and 84 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: at night he sets us up in this house in 85 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: twenty nine palms. And what we have to do is 86 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: we are going to march in formation down to the 87 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: house with our retro fit at m sixteens. We call 88 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 1: them sim rounds, by the way. We're going to one 89 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: platoon at a time. We are going to assault this house. 90 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: There are people in this house to defend it also 91 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: with weapons that use simrouns. You're following me. How many 92 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: people were in this house? Believe there were five five. 93 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: We had platoons of rough thirty a little bit more, 94 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: and one by one at night NVGs the works. We 95 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: poured into this home to assault it. Most platoons did 96 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: not last longer than two minutes before everybody was dead. 97 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Everybody was dead. Nobody lasted four The defenders barely lost 98 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a man all night long. We are not a bunch 99 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: of pencil pencil pushers here. This is not a bunch 100 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: of accountants. This was a highly trained infantry Marine platoon. 101 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: First sergeant, by the way, did that as a lesson 102 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: to us of how much we needed to learn about 103 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: urban warfare, room clearing, things like that, how difficult it 104 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: is to walk into a building, especially if you're facing 105 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: anybody who even slightly knows what they're doing, to walk 106 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: into a building and walk out alive. Now I want 107 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: you to picture this Stalingrad. You've heard the name. You 108 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: may even know the battle I'm talking about. If you 109 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: don't know the Battle of Stalingrad, you do need to 110 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: know this. It is unquestionably the largest battle and the 111 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: history of mankind. Nothing else is even close to second, 112 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: except for maybe the Battle of Moscow, which took place 113 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: in the same campaign. This is obviously part of Hitler's 114 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: invasion of Russia. This is the end of Hitler's invasion 115 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: of Russia. And when I say the largest battle of 116 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: all time, remember this. Total US deaths in war is 117 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: about one point four million. That's all the wars we've 118 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: ever fought combined, including Civil War, which is like six 119 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Of that, that's about what the Soviets lost 120 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: at Stalingrad alone one battle. Germans too, they are almost 121 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: a million. It's so vast in its carnage it's hard 122 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: to put into words. I really want you, as you're listening, 123 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: if you're not driving, I really want you to google 124 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: image Stalingrad, so you can picture this because there are 125 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: so many pictures of it. Bear in mind, you're going 126 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: to see quite a bit of death in there. You're 127 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: going to see dead bodies, You're gonna see frozen dead bodies. 128 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: Is just the worst place in the history of the world. So, 129 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: how did we ever get to a battle where two 130 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: million people died? Roughly? How does that? How does that 131 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: happen in one battle? Well, it happened, like so many major, 132 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: major things happened. Do you want to know how it happened? 133 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: Play in a second? How God anat him only side 134 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: of me? Yess Kelly, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. 135 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: You need more security, more security in your home, and 136 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about your internet. That's why you need more security. 137 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: I know what you were thinking. I got plenty of security. 138 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: I got I got the door locks, I got the alarms, 139 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: I got my pistol. We're ready to go. Yeah, But 140 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: do you have Express VPN yet?

Anytime you're online in your home. 145 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: Your Internet service provider sees all of it, all of it. 146 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: Take that in for a moment. Unless you have Express VPN. 147 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: If you have Express vpn, you're totally anonymous. Yeah, that's 148 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: what I thought. Go to Express vpn dot com slash jesse. 149 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: You actually get three months free if you do that 150 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Express vpn dot com slash jesse. How does one get 151 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: to a massive, massive carnage battle with two million dead people? 152 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Well slowly, you see. At no point in the beginning 153 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: of World War Two would Stalin or Hitler, would either 154 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: of them ever even imagine, ever, even dream of being 155 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: involved in a battle like this. But things take time. 156 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: You know about Hitler invading the Soviet Union, I told 157 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: you about it before we talked about it. I don't 158 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: have to belabor the point, but you do need to 159 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: understand how much the Soviets hated Stalin. Huge portions of 160 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: the Soviets despise Stalin, despise the Bolsheviks for obvious reasons. 161 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: And remember Stalin was murdering and starving people to death 162 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: pretty much immediately after he took power. It's not as 163 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: if Stalin woke up one day and became a monster. 164 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Remember Stalin maybe the worst person to ever live. Stalin 165 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: was a murderer long before he ever had power. He 166 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: got off on it. Then, I don't mean ordering other people. 167 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: Stalin would personally kill you without hesitation. So the Nazis 168 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: had this prime, prime opportunity when invading the Soviet Union. 169 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: You realize the Nazis could have won that fairly easily 170 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: the people. Initially, when Germany invaded Russia, the women would 171 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: bring out platters, wooden platters of bread and butter and 172 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: cheese to the troops. People would throw flowers at the Nazis, 173 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: thanking them for quote liberating them from Stalin. And do 174 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: you know what Hitler did next? Hitler began to attach 175 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: ss units murder units to his army units. Remember, everybody 176 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: in the German army was not a Nazi. There were 177 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: many just German soldiers. Everybody in the in the German 178 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: command was not a Nazi, at least at least initially. 179 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: Many of these were just long experienced German generals, many 180 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: of them experienced from World War One. However, there were 181 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: special Nazi units set up. You see, if you take 182 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: a group of German soldiers who grow up wanting to 183 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: be German soldiers in there in the Germ in military, 184 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: there's a good chance they're going to balk at being 185 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: told to line up women and children and shoot them 186 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: in the back of the head because their Jews. So 187 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: what do you do, Well, you don't have to make them, 188 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,359 Speaker 1: have them take the village, then have them be relieved 189 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: by the special SS unit you have attached, and let 190 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: the soldiers run along. Hey, we'll catch up in a 191 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: few bang bang bang bang. You see, as the people 192 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: came out and began greeting the Germans as liberators, Hitler, 193 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: so poisoned by racial hatred, couldn't see, couldn't tell what 194 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: was right in front of him. And what was right 195 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: in front of him was the destruction, the end of 196 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in a victory. He couldn't see it. 197 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: So instead he begins hunting all these people down, murdering 198 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: all these people, and then the people just decide, well, 199 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: screw it, I'll just fight for Stalin. Then that was 200 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: mistake number one, well, mistake number fifty. Hitler begins to 201 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: micromanage the invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler had all 202 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: these megamegamega experienced generals and understand this. The Nazis. The Germans, 203 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: I should say, had some incredible generals in World War 204 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: One and World War Two. The problem is again blinded 205 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: by hatred, poisoned by racial division. Hitler would sack his 206 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: best generals and put some Nazi in place who was 207 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: not even close to capable. I know you're not going 208 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: to be surprised by this, but so many of the Nazis. 209 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: There were some brilliant ones, but so many of the 210 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Nazis were idiots. They didn't know what they were doing. 211 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: They got their position of power because they were Nazis, 212 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: and no other reason. They sucked. They weren't capable, They 213 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: didn't rise because of how capable they were. And they 214 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: charge on, and they charge on, and they have the 215 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: Battle of Moscow, which I've talked to you about before, 216 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: which they lost. They pull back, they regroup, and they 217 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: focus on a place on the Volga River known as Stalingrad. 218 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: It's Volga Grad today, but known as Stalingrad. And if 219 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: you want a picture where it is, if you don't 220 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: have a map in front of you, go from west 221 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: to east, invading the Soviet Union, nearly go about all 222 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: the fourth of the way across the country, and then 223 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: head due south down there's where Stalingrad is. And Stalingrad was, 224 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: as I said, situated on the Volga River. And when 225 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: I say situated on the Volga River, I mean it's 226 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: on the Volga River. Its right up to it, and 227 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: it's there for a very specific reason. Hitler knew this. Obviously, 228 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Stalin knew this. That city became a major city because 229 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: it was the pipeline from the oil fields to the 230 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: rest of the Soviet Union. It was essentially the power lines, 231 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: which is why Hitler wanted it, which is why Stalin knew. 232 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: People it had to be defended. If you could cut 233 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: the supply lines of any enemy. What if we always 234 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: told you about supply lines that old saying someone else 235 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: came up with. Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics. A 236 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: country like the Soviet Union will simply implode if it 237 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: can't eat, if it doesn't have gasoline to run all 238 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: those amazing T thirty four Soviet tanks, which were the 239 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: best tanks in the war. Hitler takes off for Stalingrad. 240 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: Hitler gets to Stalingrad. Now you need to know about 241 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: order two to seven. Order two to seven was this 242 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: Stalin began to micromanage a lot himself. The Soviet Union 243 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: paid dearly for Stalin's purges of military leadership and everyone else, 244 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: because again, if Stalin suspected you of anything, he'd have 245 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: you shot in the back of the head. You didn't 246 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: have to be guilty of it. And there ended up 247 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: being a lot of very very very capable generals who 248 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: were not only sacked from their post, but flat out murdered. 249 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. One of the generals in Stalingrad 250 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: fighting for Stalin is somebody he'd previously arrested and torture. 251 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: They'd knocked all his teeth out. He had a mouthful 252 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 1: of mental teeth, like jaws from the James Bond movies. 253 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Not making that up. So Stalin was a micromanager, and 254 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: Stalin's army initially in the Soviet Union was taking a beating. 255 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Now they were taking a beating because the weather was better, 256 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: and the Nazi blitzkrieg really needs good weather so the 257 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: tanks can slice and dash and get to where they're 258 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: going in a hurry. The point of a blitzkrieg is speed. 259 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: Everything is about speed. Get somewhere quickly, have your enemy 260 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: office heels before you know it. He's surrounded, he's annihilated. Well, 261 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: that works fine when you're out on the plains of Nebraska. 262 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: When it starts to get muddy, when it starts to freeze, 263 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: when it starts to get cold, that's a lot more difficult. 264 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: So the Soviets had beaten off the Germans up in Moscow. 265 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: Now the Germans had their eyes set on Stalingrad. In 266 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: Order two to seven back to that was this Stalin 267 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: did not like the tactical retreat, even though it was 268 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: unquestionably the smartest move so much of the time for 269 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: the Soviets. Remember what we talked about, was it yesterday? 270 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: We were talking about George Washington and the tactical retreat 271 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: and how that was one of his specialties. No, let's 272 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: not get everyone killed, let's live to fight another day. 273 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: A nice, orderly retreat, we'll be back tomorrow. Well, that's 274 00:21:24,480 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: good generalship, that's intelligence. Angah. Order two to seven from 275 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: Stalin was it was something he didn't like the fact 276 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: that his generals were constantly backing away, constantly giving up ground, 277 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: even though when you're a country the size of Russia, 278 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: that's clearly the smartest thing to do, just keep backing 279 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: up and let him get sucked in and let the 280 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: winner kill him. So Order two two seven was essentially this, 281 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: we don't back up another inch. We are going to 282 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: take our penal units. They had penal units for anybody 283 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: who ever ran away, anybody who ever retreated, you would 284 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: be punished placed in a penal unit. They would then 285 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: take the penal units and put them in the most 286 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: dangerous parts of the line at all times, so they 287 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: can quote unquote redeem themselves from their for their cowardice. 288 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: It also involved creating entire squads that were murder squads. 289 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: They would stand behind all the units on the front 290 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: and their one job was to shoot anybody who turned 291 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: around to retreat in their own army. I don't mean once. 292 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: By the time Stalingrad was over, these squads had murdered 293 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: thirteen thousand of their own countrymen one battle, thirteen thousand. 294 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: They were so fanatical about it. If you were in 295 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: a foxhole with somebody and he got up to run 296 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: away and you didn't shoot him, you would be shot. Yeah, 297 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: stalin obvious you see this as an ugly order. Obviously 298 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: it's terrible. You don't want this, But if you have 299 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: to give the murderous psychopath any credit in the very least. 300 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: At least Stalin understood we really cannot lose Stalingrad period. 301 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: At one point in time, Nikita Kruscheff, if that name 302 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: sounds familiar, the man who took over after Stalin. Nikita Kruscheff, 303 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: was a veteran of Stalingrad, and at one point he 304 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: brings in the Stalingrad commander and says, what do you 305 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: think your orders are here? And a guy says, keep 306 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: the city or die trying, and he said, yep, you 307 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: pretty much figured it out, have a good one. That's 308 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: the order. Now the German Army closes in on Stalingrad, 309 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: and what did they do, Well, they did what they 310 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: always done, and they really shouldn't have done. They sent 311 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 1: in that great German Lufwaffa, the great German Air Force, 312 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: and they bombed Stalingrad to smithereens. What they were trying 313 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: to do was intimidate the Soviets into backing away and 314 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: giving it up. They did not seem to grasp the 315 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: concept that there was nothing you could do to make 316 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: the Soviets give it up. Well, if that's the case, 317 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: if you know, the Soviets aren't going to give it up. 318 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: What you've just done is create for yourself as an 319 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: invading force and absolute living Hell, let's go back to 320 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: the beginning of the show again. Do you remember that 321 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: one building we tried to take as an infantry platoon, 322 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: five guys inside getting mopped up. Now I want you 323 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: to picture a bombed out entire city with sellers, buildings, 324 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: roads blocked off so your tanks can't get down, some 325 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: intentional some otherwise. The water's now bad, you're destroying your 326 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: own supplies. And oh did I mention these Russians were intelligent? 327 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: By this point? This is late enough in the war 328 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: that all the all the idiot generals Stalin had were 329 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: beginning to be replaced by young hotshots who knew what 330 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: they were doing ruthlessly efficient, including probably the greatest general 331 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: of all World War two. As much as that pains 332 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: me to say it, do you know how much I 333 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: love our patents and whatnot, But Zukov, General Zukov, probably 334 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: the best general of the entire war. If you don't 335 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: know about him, look him up. He's incredible man. Not 336 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: the kindest human being in the world, mind you, but 337 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: a general, a great man general. But the German army 338 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: is no joke either, and they begin to push into 339 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: Stalingrad and it is hell. It is a living hell. 340 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: The stories, the individual stories out of there a nightmare, 341 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: and the Soviets, to their credit again they were smart 342 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: by this point in time, decided to intentionally make it 343 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: terrifying for the Germans, not just not just bullets wise, 344 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: they wanted the Germans to be mortified at all times. 345 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: So they enacted a policy of this. They called it 346 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: hugging the enemy. The commander in Stalingrad ordered that at 347 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: no time would his units be more than a certain 348 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: distance away from the Germans. Most of the time it 349 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: was fifty yards one hundred yards, so the Germans. One 350 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: couldn't use the LOFWAFFA to bomb the Russians because they 351 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: bombed their own troops. In two. You're in a constant 352 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: state of anxiety because they're right there. The Russians would 353 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: do things like attack at night with these wee little 354 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: mini spy planes. The Germans called them a sewing machine 355 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: because of how their little engines sounded. And what they 356 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: would do is they'd attach it a small not even 357 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: a big, a tiny little bomb to this tiny little 358 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: spy plane and fly it over the German trenches at 359 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: night and drop them in. You're constantly horrified to hear 360 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: it coming. The Russians used the bombed out streets to 361 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: their advantage. They would create murder tunnels where they would 362 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: take a building they'd loaded up with their infantry with 363 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: anti tank weapons. The Germans would try to go down 364 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: that way, they would divert because it was too much 365 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: heat coming from that building that way, only they'd divert 366 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: into a street the Russians wanted them down that they'd 367 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 1: mined the night before, bowing off legs, burning people, bombs 368 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: emerging from sellers, going back down below. Are you starting 369 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: to get some kind of an idea what it's like? 370 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: And this didn't last an hour, ladies and gentlemen, This 371 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: lasted months months. There are stories because the Germans were 372 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: advancing still, even with all this. To their credit, they 373 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: were advancing still. But there are stories where they would 374 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: work hard, would lose so many men to take a 375 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: building and failure. They'd take it and they'd kill all 376 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: the Soviets inside, and then as soon as they'd leave, 377 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: the Soviets would reoccupy and they'd have to go take 378 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: it again. And that is demoralizing Vietnam veterans, if you 379 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: ever get a chance to talk to them, actually talk 380 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: about that exact thing, how demoralizing that is. They'd they'd 381 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: pick a hill, seemingly at random, take this hill, and 382 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: they charge up the hill. And it's the hardest thing 383 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: in the world to fight up hill. And they have 384 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: this vicious battle, and you see all your friends die, 385 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: and you'd go through this meat grinder and you take 386 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: the hill. And then virtually the next day they'd say 387 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: all right, we're leaving, and you turn around and they 388 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: reoccupied the hill you just bled for. It's a devastating 389 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: psychological feeling. It does matter a lot. But the Germans 390 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: are advancing. Kay, they are advancing until they have essentially 391 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: pushed all the Soviets to a strip by the Volga. 392 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: Remember the layout of the city. The city backs up 393 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: to the Volga. The Volga is the barrier. They have 394 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: pushed the Soviet army back to there. But remember Zukov 395 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: a great general. He has a plan too. One, the 396 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: Germans are starting to get a little chili again. Winter 397 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: is almost here. Two. The Germans have flanks, and there 398 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: aren't German troops on those flanks. Hang on truth attitude 399 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. We need to sleep. You need to sleep. 400 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: I need to sleep. You know it's you know how 401 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: you feel when you don't same way I feel? You 402 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: feel like a zombie. That's That's the best way I 403 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: can describe it. As as much as I understand how 404 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: zombies probably feel from the movies, that's how I feel. 405 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: And I dang sure know that's how I look. I 406 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: look at myself in the mirror and I think, oh gosh. 407 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: And especially I'm sorry to admit this, as I get older, 408 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: if I don't sleep, I'm starting to get some bags 409 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: under the eyes, don't you. I need sleep. My mind 410 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: needs it, my body needs it. I can't speak effectively 411 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: without sleep. I'm in a bad mood. I'm snapping at 412 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: my kids. It's awful. Stop taking sleeping pills. Stop wishing 413 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: for a good night's sleep. Start using an EBB sleep. 414 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: You get to try at risk freeze for sixty days. 415 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: It's a wearable device. Try ebb dot com slash Jesse. 416 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: That's try ebb dot com slash Jesse used to promo 417 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: code Jesse for twenty five bucks off the talk radio Revolution. 418 00:32:37,160 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, you see Zukov was a savvy, savvy general, 419 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: and the Germans, right rightly or wrongly, they stacked their 420 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: armies in the center, which is historically, It's not like 421 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: it's stupid. That's what many armies throughout history have done. 422 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: You put your studs in the center. If flanks are 423 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: not as important, you really worry about the center because 424 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: if you lose the center, you're lost. But if you're 425 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: the German army, your problem in this war is the same, 426 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: ironically as your problem in World War One, and that's 427 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: that all your allies suck or they're too far away 428 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: to actually help. The only significant ally Germany had in 429 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: World War Two was Japan. Now, Japan was a formidable 430 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: fighting force, but Japan had its hands full dealing with US. 431 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: Japan didn't have the resources to send a bunch of 432 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: people to Germany. So are you stuck with If you're Germany, 433 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: you're stuck with the freaking Italians. And by the way, 434 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: that France talk we had yesterday about this false reputation 435 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: France has about being a crappy army because of World 436 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: War Two, when their military history is amazing and we 437 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 1: all think there are a bunch of losers but instead 438 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of studs. They took World War 439 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: One on the chin for the whole world. Yeah, that 440 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: reputation France has as the one Italy has. That Italy 441 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: earned the reputation we have for France. You want to 442 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: talk about pathetic, they were pathetic in World War One. 443 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: They were possibly twice as pathetic in World War Two. 444 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: It got so bad and Hitler knew he had to 445 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: guard his underbelly of Italy from invasion. He just stucked 446 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing full of German troops. They you know what, 447 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: just take the freaking Italians and go back to your house. 448 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: I'll do it all. But these are his allies, the 449 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: Italians and the Roman sucked. He's he's stuck with all 450 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: these allies who suck, which you know, by the grace 451 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: of God, that worked out well for us. We didn't 452 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: need him having strong ones. And that's who he sent 453 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: to the flanks. That's who he sent to essentially guard 454 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: his sides in his rear while his unit, the sixth Army, 455 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: while the German Army thrust into Stalin grab like a spear. 456 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: Zukov knew this. Zukov essentially sneakily sent two different armies 457 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: to both flanks and smashed through the Germans. Once they 458 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: did that, they surrounded the sixth Army. The sixth Army, now, 459 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: yes they're deep install and grad but they're surrounded. They're 460 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: in a pocket. The German Wehrmacht famously told Hitler, don't 461 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: worry about it, We're still in control of two air strips. 462 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Will just resupply our entire army by air. They never 463 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: even came close to getting enough supplies in German soldiers 464 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: begin to die in droves of starvation. Oh and did 465 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: I mention gold? You see when you got here, the 466 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 1: weather may have been nice, but it's January and February now, 467 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: Jack and Stalingrad and the Soviet troops by now they're 468 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: wearing fur lined coats, fur lined gloves, thick winter boots. 469 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: I saw a fascinating show on this one time where 470 00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: they took the exact uniform, the exact uniform that the 471 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: German troops and the Russian troops were wearing. And what 472 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: they did was they brought out a big freezer truck. 473 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: You know those freezer trucks. They keep all the frozen 474 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: foods in the back and they put body heat monitors 475 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: in the truck. Essentially, they would sit the guy down 476 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: in the freezer truck and then you could see a 477 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: thermal view of him and you would be able to 478 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: tell where the heat could escape. It was. It really 479 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: was a fascinating thing. They sit the Russian dude in 480 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: there and it's essentially his nose. You know, he's totally fine. 481 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: Everything else got everything in. They put the German in there, 482 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: and he's just a big blotch of red freezing. Imagine 483 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: what that's like when you're a German soldier. You know, 484 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 1: you have massacred your way through this entire nation. So 485 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: now these people hate you. The Germans were well aware 486 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: there's a great chance you're just flat out going to 487 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: get machine gun and if you surrender, because now this 488 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: is the war of hatred. The Germans had treated the 489 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: Russians horribly during this invasion. It was a vicious, murderous invasion. 490 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: The Russians by now had this burning hate. They were 491 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: they were returning the favor. And so now you're in Stalingrad, 492 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: You're in a burned outbuilding, you're starving, you're shivering from 493 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: the cold, and they're all around you. What does that 494 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: feel like? Can you even imagine what that must feel like, 495 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: the absolute terror you would feel. That has to be 496 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,720 Speaker 1: a new level, doesn't it. Very very few melancholy German 497 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: letters went out because they MONI heard everything, but the 498 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: ones that did, Oh my word, these guys knew. Oh 499 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: but wait, it gets worse. Protect my car can save 500 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: you a fortune. And here's the thing about it. I 501 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: hope you never have to use it. It's just it's 502 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: one of those things. It's like your home insurance. I 503 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: hope you never have to use it. But the truth 504 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 1: of the matter is this. We all know they only 505 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: make two kinds of cars. They make ones that have 506 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: had problems and ones that are going to have problems. 507 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: They haven't made a third kind of car. I promise 508 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 1: yours is the same. You know you've heard me rant 509 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 1: about that recent bill I got from a pickup truck. 510 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: There is a solution. If you own a car, truck, 511 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: or suv made from nineteen ninety nine or higher, you 512 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: might be able to stop paying for car repairs. I'm 513 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: talking engine, transmission, reno, car tow wing, roadside assistance, the works. 514 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: But you have to find out if you qualify for it. 515 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: Dial Star Star one two four four again that star 516 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: Star one two four four, Protect my Car. The Germans 517 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: keep sending messages back to Hitler requesting permission to surrender. 518 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: Hitler knows the war is pretty much lost, refuses to 519 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: allow them to surrender. The army now is split up 520 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: in Stalingrad. They managed to drive a wedge between them. 521 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: Now it's two different armies, and now it's over. As 522 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: the circle gets tighter and tighter and tighter and tighter, 523 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: eventually they defy Hitler's orders and they surrender. Ninety one 524 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: thousand troops walk in. Do you want to know how 525 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: many of those ninety one thousand Germans who surrendered ever 526 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: saw Germany again? Do you want to know? Playing a 527 00:41:39,120 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: second the Jesse Kelly Show, This is the Jesse Kelly Show. 528 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: Ninety one thousand Germans surrendered, six thousand never saw Germany again? 529 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: Do you know when they saw Germany again? Nineteen fifty five? 530 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Did you know that? Did you know that the Soviets 531 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: had so much hatred for what the Germans had done? 532 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: They kept their prisoners of war for a decade after 533 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: World War Two ended, starving them to death, freezing them 534 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: to death gulags in Siberia shooting them, torturing them. Yeah, 535 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: the German invasion of the Soviet Union is on its own, 536 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: the largest conflict in the history of the world when 537 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: you consider loss of life, destruction, all those things in 538 00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: the history of the world. How did that happen? Slowly 539 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: over time, A little of this, a little of that, 540 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: a little of this, a little of that. Decades in 541 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: the making. Decades you can trace it back to Napoleon 542 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: if you want, decades in the making. I am going 543 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: to get to your ask doctor Jesse questions here in 544 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: just a second. But I just want to say this 545 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: because we're gonna try to keep the rest of the 546 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: day fairly fun, try to address some things here. But 547 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: I continue to get this question. Shoot, I got it 548 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 1: from my wife last night. I get this question from 549 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: my friends all the time. I get this question, how 550 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: did this happen? How did this happen? How did this happen? 551 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: How did we somehow lose control of everything? We got 552 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: an email from our pastor yesterday to the entire church 553 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: who's attending and wants us to get involved with a quote, 554 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: what white people need to know. Panel think what you've 555 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: seen in this nation in the past few months, mayors, governors, 556 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: you must close your business, you will lose your job. 557 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 1: You're allowed to stay open. I allow you to stay open. 558 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: You're not allowed. Oh you're gonna try to open wooooo, 559 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: sending into cops. Sorry, off to jail, you go, scumbag. 560 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: We have somehow gone right from that to burning down 561 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: an American cities. Do you know more black people have 562 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 1: died during the last week of riots than were killed 563 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: by police in all of twenty nineteen. Did you know that? 564 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 1: Do you know what this looks like for the black 565 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 1: community at the end of this the obvious thing nobody 566 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: wants to point out. You see, the president of the 567 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: minute of the Minneapolis City Council yesterday actually proposed the 568 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: president of the City Council actually proposed the complete elimination 569 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: of the Minneapolis to police department. I'm not making that up. 570 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 1: Do you know, no matter what, even when that crazy 571 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: proposal dies, no matter what, when this thing is gone, 572 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: these riots, these protests all you know to protect the 573 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: black community, that when it's all over, the black community 574 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to have fewer job opportunities because they burned 575 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,320 Speaker 1: down these looters, burned down so many business is, and 576 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 1: the ones who didn't get burnt down. Many are going 577 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 1: to move out because who wants to live and work 578 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: in an area where your business can get torched for 579 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: just existing. So the job opportunities are going to vaporize. 580 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,240 Speaker 1: The community itself is going to be even less safe 581 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: because they're also defunding the police departments. The LA mayor 582 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 1: just announced a one hundred two hundred and fifty million 583 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: dollar cut to the LAPD. They are going to turn 584 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 1: these communities they're supposedly trying to protect into absolute wastelands 585 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: of crime and poverty, and the entire nation is going 586 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: along with it, the entire nation, Major corporations running ad 587 00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: campaigns about equality. My own pastor professional athletes Drew Brees 588 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: apologized for standing up for the flag twice. They put 589 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: up another IG post about it. I guess in tears, 590 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: how did that happen? Look? New York Governor Cuomo says 591 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: the state will open coronavirus testing to all George Floyd protesters. 592 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: Do you want to know how telling that is the 593 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 1: state with the most draconian lockdowns is giving a free 594 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: pass to the protesters. That tells you all you need 595 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:48,240 Speaker 1: to know. You see, they did this step by step. 596 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: Year after year after year, the left fought their battle 597 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:04,479 Speaker 1: on a quiet, multifront war, and now they're everywhere. And 598 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 1: that is what you're seeing now, is that the leftists 599 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: have taken over everything. And as you can see the 600 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: coronavirus lockdowns, but not for the protesters. They work together, 601 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: they work hand in hand. You get to do that 602 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: once you've taken it all. I'm going to tell you 603 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: something and I want you to think about it, because 604 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: this is not gonna be surprising. You're gonna know it. 605 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: But I want you to think about this. Do you 606 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: know how insane it is that in a nation, ninety 607 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: plus percent of their federal employees, ninety plus percent of 608 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 1: the media, ninety plus percent of their educators, ninety plus 609 00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: percent of their entertainers all have the SA political philosophy. 610 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: Do you know how insane that is? I have to 611 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,240 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'd enjoy it, but that would 612 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: creep me out. If they were all ninety percent conservative. 613 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 1: I would look around and be a little bit weirded out. Wait, 614 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: what that's everyone? And the most amazing thing about it, 615 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: and it's very telling for how the left does their business. 616 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 1: The most amazing thing about it they're not happy with. 617 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: They look at that, because leftism is a religion of domination. 618 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 1: They look at that ninety percent, and you know what 619 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: they see. They see the ten percent they don't have, 620 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: and it ticks them off. They can't believe it. That 621 00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: is how you win. If it sounds like I'm admiring them, 622 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: let me be clear. I am. I detest them. I 623 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: hate what they've done to my nation. I hate how 624 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: torn to bits we are surrounded on all sides. I 625 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,759 Speaker 1: despise it. But that doesn't make it any less impressive. 626 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: They could never have done the things they're doing today 627 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,359 Speaker 1: even ten years ago, twenty years ago. Why are they 628 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: able to do them now? Because now they've cinched in 629 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 1: their control. With the snap of their fingers, they can 630 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: see a cop killing a black dude till the entire 631 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 1: nation it's racist, mobilize the entire country in race riots, 632 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 1: and there's still no evidence it was race based.
