Selena Zito is going to give us the 29 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: what's what on what people actually believe as far as 30 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: the election goes, because I have numbers here and they 31 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: are shocking. They shocked me, shocked me. But first, allow 32 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: us to go to a tiny town in Tennessee called Athens. 33 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: You see, you and I, for the most part, have 34 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: certain notions about the way things work in the world, 35 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: about who the good guys are and who the bad 36 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: guys are. Don't We We grew up reading books, watching TV. 37 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Mike. Kids are taught to 38 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: thank police officers on the way by. Obviously, that's not 39 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: all cops are saintly God's thing. It's just a These 40 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: are the men who serve and protect most of the time. 41 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Cops and I see eye to eye on things. They're 42 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: my kind of people, and I appreciate people who weighed 43 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: through the muck all day and then have everybody judge 44 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: them for it from the stands, from the cheap seats. 45 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: I have an appreciation for that, but be prepared right 46 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: now to root against the cops. You see, this was 47 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: the situation in Athens, Tennessee in the thirties and forties. 48 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: It was traditionally a Republican area. Republican area. However, the 49 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: nineteen thirties saw the rise of FDR. And when you 50 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: have a political phenom like he was, even though I 51 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: can't stand him, and you have a political phenom like 52 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: FDR was, it's going to raise all the votes. It's 53 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: that rising tide. And so we were getting Democrats elected 54 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: in parts of the country where Democrats hadn't been elected before. 55 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: And if there's one thing Democrats do now and have 56 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: always done really really well, that's corruption. Democrats do the 57 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: party boss corruption thing really well. They've done it since 58 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: before Tammany Hall. Everybody knows the stories. And let me 59 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: explain something to you about corruption when it comes to politics, 60 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: local politics, because this probably matters for your city, county, state. 61 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Even though we don't talk too much local politics on 62 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: the show. You have people who control roll much of 63 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: what's around you, and unless you're politically involved, you oftentimes 64 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: don't know who they are. Lots of the time, it's 65 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: not the mayor or the city councilman or the sheriff. 66 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: It's the big political bumbler guy who gathers all the 67 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: campaign donations, who everybody owes a favor too, who knows 68 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: dirt on other people. I'm gonna tell you a great 69 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: story today later on the show about political dirt. I'm 70 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: gonna have to use some false names on this story. 71 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: This is a very real story I'm going to tell you, 72 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give you a huge example of how 73 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: this works later on. But for now, just know Tennessee 74 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: there's a man by the name of E. H. Crump. 75 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: He has taken over this area. We're just gonna focus 76 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: on Athens in the county surrounding it for the time being. 77 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: And what I say he's taken it over, this is 78 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean he runs everything. If you 79 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: want to be mayor, eh Trump is the man you 80 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 1: walk into and if he doesn't want you to be mayor, 81 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: you won't be mayor. If you want this elected position, 82 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: that elected position, if you want this good paying city 83 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: job or that good paying county job, you will go 84 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: to eh Crump. He is the Kingmaker's kingmaker. As long 85 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: as you were on his good side, life is good 86 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: for you. If you are on his bad side, well, 87 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: let's put it this way. Bad for you doesn't really 88 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: describe it. Yes, it could be bad for you, as 89 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: in you lose your seat in office. It also could 90 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: be bad for you, as in you will die because 91 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: eh Crump has taken political corruption to a level we 92 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: don't often see in the United States of America. And 93 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: thank the Good Lord on High for that. He chooses 94 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the sheriff as well, an elected position elected those is 95 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: a strong, strong way to put it. Tell me, if 96 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: tell me if any of this story sounds familiar today. 97 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: When I say elected, obviously they're going to collect the votes. 98 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: It's a county wide vote for sheriff. They're about seven 99 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: thousand people in Athens itself, but county wide vote for sheriff. 100 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: But how they collect the votes is this The sheriff's deputies. 101 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: They are the ones who really watch the polls. Once 102 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: they collect all the votes at the polls, the sheriff's 103 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: deputies take all the boxes and haul them down to 104 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: the county jail where they count the votes in secret. 105 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: If the opposing party tries to pull watch down there, 106 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: they are oftentimes thrown out by the deputies, even sometimes 107 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: arrested for being an i quote troublemakers. And miraculously, every 108 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: time one of these elections happens, E H. Crump's guy 109 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: gets elected. But wait, there's more. Remember we talked about violence. 110 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: Oh there was violence. You see, the sheriff may have 111 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: been elected. The deputies are just chosen by the sheriff. 112 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: They're deputized. You know, you've seen the Old West. It's 113 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: time to make you a deputy. We're form an aposse. 114 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: No different here, except the deputies don't get paid. So 115 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: why would anybody want to be a deputy. Well, here's 116 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: the thing about it. If you're a deputy at this 117 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: time in this place, it actually paid quite well. You 118 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: got paid on arresting people. Yes, that's right, there was 119 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: a system where you got paid for arresting people. They 120 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: would round up anybody they could find and arrest them. 121 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: In fact, the sheriff's in this particular county would routinely 122 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: pull over buses that were just passing through step on 123 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: board the bus and grab people off of it and 124 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: arrest them just to get paid. But it actually even 125 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: gets worse than that. You see, that'll get you an 126 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: official paid check. Oh, here you go, sheriff's deputy. A 127 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: good work. You arrested a fifty people last weekend. Let's 128 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: give you a nice check here. You know what pays 129 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: even better than that, rich people who pay to not 130 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: get arrested. You see, they're running moonshine through here. They're 131 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: gambling through here. Legitimate businesses are happening through here. And 132 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: these sheriff's deputies and the sheriff himself, who was a 133 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: man named Cantrell, they are the terrorists of this area. 134 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: It is straight out of the movies. May I come in? Hey, 135 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: this is a nice shop you got here. Do you 136 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: have that envelope I told you I needed? Because it'd 137 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: be a real shame if something happened to this shop 138 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: later on, and or something happened to you personally. These 139 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: men would beat you. These men would kill you, all right. 140 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: I have political dirt to share. Trump firing people in 141 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: a remote controlled machine gun. AMI will continue this story. 142 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: Hang on, missed out?

When I was a kid, we used 167 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: to dry down there and we go fishing. I learned 168 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: how to swim in the state of Tennessee. Granted learned 169 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: how to swim as a nice way of saying my 170 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: father threw me off a boat. But I swam for 171 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: the first time in Tennessee and it was amazing. The 172 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: Smoky mountains are beautiful, the barbecue's great, the accents are awesome, 173 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: the people are friendly. I love Tennessee. I actually almost 174 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,239 Speaker 1: moved there before I moved to Texas, So I'm biased, 175 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: but I love Tennessee and I love the Tennessee spirit. 176 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: And the Tennessee spirit has generally been one of military service, 177 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: and that's their entire history. Davy Crockett just flat out 178 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: packed up his stuff and came to Texas just because 179 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: they love to fight and they were all about that 180 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: liberty stuff. Military service has always been big there and 181 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: in this place, in this area, virtually all the young 182 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: men joined the cause. When it came to World War two, 183 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: you were a man and of age. World War two 184 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: breaks out. This is Tennessee, baby, let's go rock and roll. 185 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Time to kill some Nazis, time to kill some Japanese. 186 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Well. They head off to war. They 187 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: head off to war. And by now it's well known 188 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: in this area how dirty and corrupt it is. You 189 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: can't win an election, you can't conduct your business without 190 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: bribing people. And it actually gets worse for the gis 191 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: because the gis are coming home on leave, sometimes permanently, 192 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: they are on occasion being assaulted. On other occasions they're 193 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: being shot. Two Gis come home and they're being shot 194 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: by these dirty deputies who run the town as if 195 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: it's the mafia. And the deputies they're getting now are 196 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: actually worse than they were before the war because during 197 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: the war, the young men, that young capable men who 198 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: you'd want being your sheriff's deputies, well they're all gone. 199 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: So the sheriff Cantrell is actually deputizing criminals, handing them 200 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: a badge, letting them run rampant. And it's now known 201 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: everywhere this is a dirty, dirty place. And when I 202 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: say everywhere, understand this. Everywhere. FDR's own Department of Justice 203 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: investigated the corruption in this area multiple times and chose 204 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: not to take action. I'm sure that didn't have anything 205 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: to do with eh Crump being the man who actually 206 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: brought this area in the fold for FDR. You see, 207 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: eh Crump was the king around here. E H Crump 208 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: at this point, and we'll get to this later. He 209 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: calls the governor of Tennessee on the phone and he 210 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: tells him what he's going to do. That's how powerful 211 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: it is. Well, a couple of vets come home, they 212 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: get shot. Now this word spreads rapidly amongst the other gis, 213 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: amongst the other troops from this area. We're talking Pacific 214 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: Marines Army guys fighting in North Africa, and this is 215 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: rural Tennessee. Most of these guys when they joined, they 216 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: weren't scrambling eggs. They're putting rounds down range. They're killing 217 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: a lot. They're watching their friends be killed. And now 218 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: they're hearing about their brothers from their hometown getting shot 219 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: by corrupt sheriff deputies. When they go home. Oh that's 220 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: not gonna stand. The troops start coming home and they're 221 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: extremely angry, and it gets even worse from there. The 222 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies are taking what was called muster pay from 223 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the returning troops. You would return home the army, the 224 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: Marine Corps would stroke you a check for your service. 225 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining. Appreciate it, deputy. They know where you live, 226 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: they know you just got out. Hey, you're under arrest, 227 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: unless you'd like to hand over that hundred dollar check 228 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: you just got. The veterans began to get angry. They 229 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: joined together, and a VET by the name of Knox 230 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: Henry decides, I'm running against Sheriff Cantrell and the next election. 231 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: He's not actually running as a Republican. He's running as 232 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: a straight up reform candidate. That's how bad it was. 233 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even a Republican. I'm just the one running 234 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: to stop this corruption. We are leading up to the 235 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: election and it's starting to get very tense in the area. 236 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: Veterans from other counties are coming to help, coming to 237 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: stand in as poll watchers to make sure the election 238 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: can't be rigged. Eh Crump also controls the local newspaper 239 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: in this town, which prints it prints off whatever he 240 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: tells them to print off, and even that's not working. 241 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: The citizens are all behind the veterans. The sheriffs are 242 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: the bad guys they are. Trump begins deputizing even more criminals, 243 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: brings in two hundred of them from all over outside 244 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: of the state. Come in. We need you to be 245 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: a poll watcher. Here's a badge, here's a gun. Now 246 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: you can arrest somebody. And it looks like it's going 247 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: to be a really tense election day because you have 248 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of veterans who take no crap and they 249 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: decide they're going to watch the polls too. Now we 250 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: need to pause for a brief moment in our story today. 251 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you a brief side story about me, 252 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: because I want you to understand something about the mentality 253 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: of veterans, especially grunts. You change when you go to war. 254 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: You have to change in order to change from being 255 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: the person you are now to being somebody who can 256 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: pick up a weapon and shoot someone in the face. 257 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: You have to make adjustments because you don't want to 258 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: be that guy now in your daily life and I 259 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: don't want you to be. You have to adjust mentally, 260 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: and then when you get back, like it or not, 261 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: it takes time to adjust back. Some guys, sadly can 262 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: never do it, but it takes time. When I got 263 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: back from combat, I went back to work in construct 264 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: got out of the Marine Corps, went back to work 265 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: in construction. We were doing a project in Arizona. I'm 266 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: not going to name the time. We're doing a construction 267 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: project in Arizona. And you know I hate thieves, right, 268 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: I hate them. We had these big boxes where there 269 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: were conex boxes. They were called just It's a big 270 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: metal box where at the end of the day you 271 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: would put all of your valuables, all your pieces of machinery, shovels, whatever, 272 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: whatever isn't tied downs gonna get stolen.

Well, we had 275 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of thefts pop up. You see. We had 276 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: some semi pros in the area. They could cut through 277 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: our connex box. They were cutting through and they were 278 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: stealing our things.

But first back to me before I 308 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: get back to our story. You know what My solution 309 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: was walked in my dad's office and I told him, no, 310 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: it's okay. I'll just I'm gonna get a couple of 311 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: weapons and go hide in the context box and I'll 312 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: kill them when they come back and do it again. 313 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: This is a real conversation I had. I was a 314 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: few months out of combat, few months back, and I 315 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: didn't see anything wrong with it. And my old man 316 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: could not have been cooler about it. But you could 317 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: tell he was. He's looking at me thinking, wait what 318 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: he knew? I was dead serious, toy, he knew I said, seriously. 319 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: He said, no, we're just we're gonna call the Cops'll 320 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: just who does call the cops? And I'm looking back 321 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: on it now, I obviously think, ooh, that was probably 322 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: a little drastic for a couple of dirt balls stealing 323 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: a chainsaw. But without hesitation, without a second thought, I 324 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: was just gonna go kill him. Now, it's not because 325 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I was some sick freak. I mean I am a 326 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: sick freak. But that's how you have to think. You 327 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: think in terms like that in combat, and you don't 328 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: just turn it off when you come back. Now, let's 329 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: go to Athens, Tennessee, nineteen forty six. You are fresh 330 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: back from the Pacific, where you've seen Japanese soldiers commit 331 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: war crimes that can't even be described on this family 332 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: friendly show. You've been in North Africa fighting Nazis. You've 333 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: seen your buddies shot, burn stabbed, and incinerated across the globe, 334 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: and you have returned the favor. You come back and 335 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: find out that sheriff's deputies are killing your guys and 336 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: bullying your people, you begin to think in different terms. 337 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: Veterans are doing their pole watching, the deputies are doing 338 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: their pole watching. It is tense, to put it mildly. Finally, 339 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: an old black farmer walks in to cast his vote. 340 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: They assumed the farmer was voting Republican. Also, remember when 341 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: I said they brought in a bunch of guys from 342 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: out of town. Guys from out of town, maybe other 343 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: parts of the South some scumbag criminal at the time 344 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: would almost undoubtedly have some different racial views. To put 345 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: it mildly, and when you're from out of town, you 346 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: don't really realize how everyone else thinks. He probably saw 347 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: a black guy walk in and thought, I can talk 348 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: to this guy anyway I want and treat him anyway 349 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: I want. After all, I'm sure every one around here 350 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: feels the same. It's not that way in smaller communities. 351 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: He told the black guy he couldn't vote. He then 352 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: called him the N word. The black guy obviously has 353 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: a big issue with this. The sheriff's deputy pulls out 354 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: brass knuckles and hits him with it. That's assault with 355 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: a deadly weapon. I should put it. I should put 356 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: that out there for you. Hits him with it. The 357 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: black dude takes off running with his ballot. The sheriff's 358 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: deputy shoots him in the back. He thinks he's going 359 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: to get away with this. Now it's on. The veterans 360 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: freak The townspeople freak out, and they get on the 361 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: phone right away, to their credit, holding themselves back, and 362 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: they call the governor of Tennessee, and they call the 363 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: Attorney General of Tennessee, and they say get down here now, 364 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: these freaking crup scumbags are shooting people at the polls. 365 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: The AG says, who is this, Sorry, I'm busy today. 366 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: They get nowhere because they're all in on it. Well, 367 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: now you're in trouble. Now a mob of citizens begins 368 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: to gather. The cops are now severely outnumbered. They take 369 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: a couple of the poll watchers who were there, remember 370 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: the pull watchers. They take them hostage and bar the doors. 371 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: They haul the votes to the jail, take a couple 372 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: of pulwatchers hostage, and bar the doors. Veterans now have 373 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: had enough. This actually happened. The veterans go to the 374 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: National Guard armory in town and loot it for all 375 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: the military weapons. Now you have World War two veterans 376 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: armed to the teeth. The cops follow the veterans there, 377 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: only the cops do not realize who they're dealing with. Soon, 378 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: all seven cops who followed them are chained to trees 379 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: out in the wilderness, and the veterans left them there. 380 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: Then they take them back, or then they take their 381 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: weapons back into town. We in the meantime, I should 382 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: point out one veteran who had one arm and it 383 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: was missing the fingers on another hand, he lost them. 384 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: In North Africa, had been beaten almost to death with 385 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: a blackjack from a sheriff's deputy. This is going off now. 386 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: Now all the deputies have retreated into the jail with 387 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: the ballots, and the veterans, armed veterans surround the jail 388 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: and say bring the ballots out. Now. Only when I 389 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: say surround the jail, understand something. There's how you would 390 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: surround the jail, and there's how trained combat veterans would 391 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: surround the jail. One you've been to combat once, you 392 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: know how to handle yourself and handle a small unit. 393 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: It's just different. You think combat is holding your weapon, 394 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: aiming it and shooting. It's movement, it's communication, it's position. 395 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: That's who wins in combat. These veterans not only have 396 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: military grade weaponry, they have the high ground. They have 397 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: the jail locked down, and these veterans are simply better 398 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: at killing people than the deputies inside. They have it surrounded. 399 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: Not only do they surround it. Couple cops walk out, 400 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: do some threats, talk a little tough. Couple cops go down, shot, boom, dang. 401 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: Now you're down ow. It's different, isn't it. You're not 402 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: you see, you're not dealing with helpless farmers. Now the 403 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: big boys are back here. The two cops who were 404 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: shot lived. They crawl back into the jail. You now 405 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: have several deputies who have been wounded. The troops then 406 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: begin to blow things up. They have dynamite, they have 407 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: Molotov cocktails. They're dynamiting squad cars. They're burning things down. 408 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: The deputies inside are scared to death. They ask the 409 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: veterans if they will allow an ambulance through to get 410 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: some of the wounded out. The veterans agree, yeah, get 411 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: your wounded out. Remember the veterans are still only demanding 412 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: the ballot boxes. Is this time the ambulances come through 413 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: and can trail. Remember the sheriff and his buddy, who 414 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: are not wounded, leave the wounded deputies in the jail 415 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: and sneak into the ambulances and take off. They should 416 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: make a movie about this. Now, veterans are really angry. 417 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: Now they rush the jail. And let me clarify again, 418 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: these are men who know how to rush a jail. 419 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: By this point, they know how to storm a building. 420 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: They don't storm it like you would. They know exactly 421 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing. Fire and maneuver communication explosions were undoubtedly used, 422 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: if nothing else, just just to confuse. They storm the jail. 423 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: They find the deputies on the inside of the jail 424 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: sobbing and begging for mercy so they won't be killed. 425 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: The veterans do give it to them. The veterans actually 426 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: stop the town people from killing a different deputy. Remember, 427 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: remember something, Remember the hatred you will have you would 428 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: have for being helplessly preyed upon by these guys. The 429 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: townspeople had surrounded one of these deputies and slashed his 430 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: throat open. The vets stopped him from finishing him off. 431 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: Another guy had been shot in the face. Deputy, it's bad, 432 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: It's really bad. We're gonna wrap up our tail here. 433 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about these shocking poll numbers, my story 434 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: of political corruption, and that lesson about power. Hang on, 435 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: Wake up and text, Text and eat, Text and catch 436 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: the bus, Text and miss your stop. Wait wait wait, 437 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: Text and be late to work. Sorry late, Text and work, 438 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: Text and pretend to work, text and xt. Surprised when 439 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: someone calls you out for not working. Maybe text and 440 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: meet up with a friend you haven't seen in forever. Oh, 441 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: text and complain that they're on their phone the whole time. 442 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: Text and listen to them complain that you're on your 443 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: phone the whole time, text and whatever. But when you 444 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: get behind the wheel, give your phone to a passenger, 445 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: put it in the glove box. Just don't text and drive. 446 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: Visit stop texts, stop rex dot org. A public service 447 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: announcement brought to you by the National Highway Traffic Safety 448 00:33:34,040 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: Administration and the ad Council. Jesse Kelly backs in. Remember 449 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: the deputy who hit the black guy with brass knuckles 450 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: and then shot him. Yeah, he almost gets beaten to 451 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: death as well. The town is angry. The veterans are angry, 452 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: but the soldiers, the troops, actually take control of the 453 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: entire town, declare martial law. Knox Henry does become the sheriff. 454 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: The veterans don't really have a platform except for anti corruption. 455 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: No more free gambling dens, no more prostitution, no more moonshining, 456 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: no more bribery, no more none of that. Then, in fact, 457 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: they arm the citizens. The newspapers. This is this is 458 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: maybe my favorite part of the story nationally, because newspapers 459 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: are all state worshippers. Anyway, the newspapers were trying to 460 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: sell this experiment as a town of lawlessness. There was 461 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: virtually no crime. Knocks ends up doing two terms a sheriff. 462 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: The corruption in Athens was gone for good. You know 463 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: one thing that's a guarantee about power. One hundred percent 464 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: of the time, you can look back historically and you 465 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: will know the words I'm about to say to you 466 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: are right, because they always turn out to be right. 467 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: The guarantee about power is it ends. There's always a 468 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: time on it. And what's wild is so often, almost 469 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: all the time, the people with it, the people who 470 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: have a hold on it, they conduct themselves as if 471 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: it's going to last forever. Power doesn't last forever. And 472 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: if you'd like to avoid getting shot in the face 473 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: or blown up one day, or the various other terrible 474 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 1: things that have happened to people who lose power, it's 475 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: really a good idea not to abuse people when you 476 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: have it. What would it take for a bunch of rural, 477 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: almost universally Bible believing Tennessee farmers to hold down a 478 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputy and slash his throat open. It would take 479 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: being abused for far too long. That's what it would take. 480 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: Power ends. If you are looking around as I have, 481 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to get into these poll numbers here 482 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: in a second. If you're looking around as I have, 483 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: at the absolute disaster that is our system, the completely 484 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: leftist controlled, globalist controlled disaster that is our American system. 485 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: Now are lost culture that we now have to win back. 486 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: And you're thinking to yourself, well, not only are we 487 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: in a terrible spot, it doesn't look like we're going 488 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: to be changing direction anytime soon. In fact, we're in 489 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: a terrible spot and we're racing the opposite way. And 490 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 1: if you're like me, you have these moments where you 491 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,919 Speaker 1: think about that and you look at it and you think, 492 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: to yourself, this is hopeless. What are we even doing 493 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: this for? I do Look, I do politics for a living, right, 494 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: three hours of radio every day, an hour of TV 495 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: every day. On my show. On the first four hours 496 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: every day, I talk politics, And I have moments, not many, 497 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: but I have moments where I think, Man, why even bother? Why? 498 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: But here's why we bother. There's an expiration date on 499 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: all this now when it expires. I don't know how 500 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: it expires. I don't know. I hope it doesn't involve 501 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: shooting anyone in the face or slashing anyone's throat. I 502 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't want that, But I do know there is 503 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 1: an expiration date on it. Maybe you will see it 504 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: in your lifetime, maybe I'll see it in my lifetime. 505 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: Maybe I won't, Maybe my kids will, maybe their kids will. 506 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: But there is an expiration date on these scumbags who 507 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: run things now. There is. And I know this for 508 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: a fact because history tells me. So that's why we 509 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: talk about history every day on the show. We are 510 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: here to learn together. We are not going to get 511 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: wrapped up as it's so easy to do in the 512 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: here and now and think to ourselves, this is the 513 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: only time this has ever happened, because it's not, because 514 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: it never is. If you have moments where you get 515 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: seriously down, and maybe you're in these moments right now 516 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: about politics, about the election, it looks like by is 517 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: probably gonna pull it off, and my kids schools a 518 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: disaster and college sucks, and the media's gross in Hollywood's terrible, 519 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: and I can't even uh, it's okay, it's human, but 520 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: just no, there's an expiration date on this all right, 521 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 1: we have remote controlled machine guns and shocking poll numbers. Hang, 522 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: you know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get 523 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: mad in my house smells too.

But 525 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: just time means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those 526 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: are cooking smells that get in your paint, your carpet, 527 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: maybe their animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone 528 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: else was just living creates smells. I didn't realize that 529 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: my home had a smell to it until I got 530 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: my first Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've 531 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: ever owned in my life.
