Oh, look at my groups. 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:21.959 I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.120 stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.560 not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.000 do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.199 and then they carry with a holster they bought from 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.879 a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.040 at a time. Please don't put your life in one 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.360 of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.840 because it's all custom made gear.

Michael Malice today going 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.799 to be talking to us about anarchy and why he's 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.040 an anarchist. Selena Zito is going to give us the 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.240 what's what on what people actually believe as far as 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.200 the election goes, because I have numbers here and they 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:31.280 are shocking. They shocked me, shocked me. But first, allow 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:37.639 us to go to a tiny town in Tennessee called Athens. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.800 You see, you and I, for the most part, have 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.320 certain notions about the way things work in the world, 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.760 about who the good guys are and who the bad 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.760 guys are. Don't We We grew up reading books, watching TV. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.920 I don't know about you, Mike. Kids are taught to 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:08.000 thank police officers on the way by. Obviously, that's not 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.040 all cops are saintly God's thing. It's just a These 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.880 are the men who serve and protect most of the time. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.320 Cops and I see eye to eye on things. They're 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.760 my kind of people, and I appreciate people who weighed 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.840 through the muck all day and then have everybody judge 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.640 them for it from the stands, from the cheap seats. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:35.720 I have an appreciation for that, but be prepared right 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.840 now to root against the cops. You see, this was 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:46.280 the situation in Athens, Tennessee in the thirties and forties. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:54.920 It was traditionally a Republican area. Republican area. However, the 0:03:55.120 --> 0:04:00.760 nineteen thirties saw the rise of FDR. And when you 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.280 have a political phenom like he was, even though I 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.000 can't stand him, and you have a political phenom like 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:14.119 FDR was, it's going to raise all the votes. It's 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.239 that rising tide. And so we were getting Democrats elected 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.240 in parts of the country where Democrats hadn't been elected before. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.800 And if there's one thing Democrats do now and have 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:33.560 always done really really well, that's corruption. Democrats do the 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:38.600 party boss corruption thing really well. They've done it since 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:44.080 before Tammany Hall. Everybody knows the stories. And let me 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.440 explain something to you about corruption when it comes to politics, 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.640 local politics, because this probably matters for your city, county, state. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.960 Even though we don't talk too much local politics on 0:04:55.000 --> 0:05:01.360 the show. You have people who control roll much of 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:06.520 what's around you, and unless you're politically involved, you oftentimes 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.120 don't know who they are. Lots of the time, it's 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.760 not the mayor or the city councilman or the sheriff. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.320 It's the big political bumbler guy who gathers all the 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:24.640 campaign donations, who everybody owes a favor too, who knows 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.560 dirt on other people. I'm gonna tell you a great 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:33.200 story today later on the show about political dirt. I'm 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:37.039 gonna have to use some false names on this story. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.360 This is a very real story I'm going to tell you, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.880 but I'm gonna give you a huge example of how 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.000 this works later on. But for now, just know Tennessee 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.320 there's a man by the name of E. H. Crump. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.320 He has taken over this area. We're just gonna focus 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.320 on Athens in the county surrounding it for the time being. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.159 And what I say he's taken it over, this is 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:08.440 what I mean. I mean he runs everything. If you 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.600 want to be mayor, eh Trump is the man you 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.119 walk into and if he doesn't want you to be mayor, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.440 you won't be mayor. If you want this elected position, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.800 that elected position, if you want this good paying city 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.680 job or that good paying county job, you will go 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:30.800 to eh Crump. He is the Kingmaker's kingmaker. As long 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.839 as you were on his good side, life is good 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.200 for you. If you are on his bad side, well, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.440 let's put it this way. Bad for you doesn't really 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.680 describe it. Yes, it could be bad for you, as 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.760 in you lose your seat in office. It also could 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.480 be bad for you, as in you will die because 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.200 eh Crump has taken political corruption to a level we 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.720 don't often see in the United States of America. And 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.360 thank the Good Lord on High for that. He chooses 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:09.120 the sheriff as well, an elected position elected those is 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.520 a strong, strong way to put it. Tell me, if 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.040 tell me if any of this story sounds familiar today. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.120 When I say elected, obviously they're going to collect the votes. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.640 It's a county wide vote for sheriff. They're about seven 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.400 thousand people in Athens itself, but county wide vote for sheriff. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:33.400 But how they collect the votes is this The sheriff's deputies. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.680 They are the ones who really watch the polls. Once 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.360 they collect all the votes at the polls, the sheriff's 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.880 deputies take all the boxes and haul them down to 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:52.040 the county jail where they count the votes in secret. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.040 If the opposing party tries to pull watch down there, 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:02.920 they are oftentimes thrown out by the deputies, even sometimes 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:09.960 arrested for being an i quote troublemakers. And miraculously, every 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:14.000 time one of these elections happens, E H. Crump's guy 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.880 gets elected. But wait, there's more. Remember we talked about violence. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:24.600 Oh there was violence. You see, the sheriff may have 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.800 been elected. The deputies are just chosen by the sheriff. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.520 They're deputized. You know, you've seen the Old West. It's 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.040 time to make you a deputy. We're form an aposse. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:44.880 No different here, except the deputies don't get paid. So 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.240 why would anybody want to be a deputy. Well, here's 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.199 the thing about it. If you're a deputy at this 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:56.560 time in this place, it actually paid quite well. You 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:03.960 got paid on arresting people. Yes, that's right, there was 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.640 a system where you got paid for arresting people. They 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.839 would round up anybody they could find and arrest them. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.079 In fact, the sheriff's in this particular county would routinely 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:20.240 pull over buses that were just passing through step on 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.920 board the bus and grab people off of it and 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.560 arrest them just to get paid. But it actually even 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.840 gets worse than that. You see, that'll get you an 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.840 official paid check. Oh, here you go, sheriff's deputy. A 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.480 good work. You arrested a fifty people last weekend. Let's 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.559 give you a nice check here. You know what pays 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:43.040 even better than that, rich people who pay to not 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:48.600 get arrested. You see, they're running moonshine through here. They're 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:53.640 gambling through here. Legitimate businesses are happening through here. And 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.200 these sheriff's deputies and the sheriff himself, who was a 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:02.920 man named Cantrell, they are the terrorists of this area. 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.720 It is straight out of the movies. May I come in? Hey, 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.960 this is a nice shop you got here. Do you 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.040 have that envelope I told you I needed? Because it'd 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.840 be a real shame if something happened to this shop 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:22.040 later on, and or something happened to you personally. These 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:28.160 men would beat you. These men would kill you, all right. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.679 I have political dirt to share. Trump firing people in 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.440 a remote controlled machine gun. AMI will continue this story. 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:55.360 Hang on, missed out?

When it comes to 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:27.160 what people think about this election political scandal in a 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:34.120 remote control machine gun. But still back to Athens, Tennessee, Well, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.120 things are ugly there, but it's actually worse than all 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.960 that as well. You see Athens, Tennessee, because it's a 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.160 rural place, and Tennessee has always had this thing. And 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.080 full disclosure, I will be honest with you right now. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.160 I am extremely biased when I talk about Tennessee because 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.520 I love Tennessee. When I was a kid, we used 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.040 to dry down there and we go fishing. I learned 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.959 how to swim in the state of Tennessee. Granted learned 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.800 how to swim as a nice way of saying my 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.040 father threw me off a boat. But I swam for 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.120 the first time in Tennessee and it was amazing. The 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.319 Smoky mountains are beautiful, the barbecue's great, the accents are awesome, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:25.199 the people are friendly. I love Tennessee. I actually almost 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.239 moved there before I moved to Texas, So I'm biased, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.360 but I love Tennessee and I love the Tennessee spirit. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.360 And the Tennessee spirit has generally been one of military service, 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.160 and that's their entire history. Davy Crockett just flat out 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.280 packed up his stuff and came to Texas just because 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.200 they love to fight and they were all about that 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:49.360 liberty stuff. Military service has always been big there and 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:54.440 in this place, in this area, virtually all the young 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.600 men joined the cause. When it came to World War two, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.400 you were a man and of age. World War two 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.080 breaks out. This is Tennessee, baby, let's go rock and roll. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.320 Time to kill some Nazis, time to kill some Japanese. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:14.280 Let's do it. Well. They head off to war. They 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.560 head off to war. And by now it's well known 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.440 in this area how dirty and corrupt it is. You 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.800 can't win an election, you can't conduct your business without 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:32.240 bribing people. And it actually gets worse for the gis 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:38.000 because the gis are coming home on leave, sometimes permanently, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.760 they are on occasion being assaulted. On other occasions they're 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.800 being shot. Two Gis come home and they're being shot 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.960 by these dirty deputies who run the town as if 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.960 it's the mafia. And the deputies they're getting now are 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:01.480 actually worse than they were before the war because during 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.840 the war, the young men, that young capable men who 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.560 you'd want being your sheriff's deputies, well they're all gone. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:17.160 So the sheriff Cantrell is actually deputizing criminals, handing them 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.480 a badge, letting them run rampant. And it's now known 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:27.960 everywhere this is a dirty, dirty place. And when I 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:36.640 say everywhere, understand this. Everywhere. FDR's own Department of Justice 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:43.680 investigated the corruption in this area multiple times and chose 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:49.120 not to take action. I'm sure that didn't have anything 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.320 to do with eh Crump being the man who actually 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.560 brought this area in the fold for FDR. You see, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.680 eh Crump was the king around here. E H Crump 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.360 at this point, and we'll get to this later. He 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.960 calls the governor of Tennessee on the phone and he 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.280 tells him what he's going to do. That's how powerful 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.720 it is. Well, a couple of vets come home, they 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:19.920 get shot. Now this word spreads rapidly amongst the other gis, 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:24.880 amongst the other troops from this area. We're talking Pacific 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.560 Marines Army guys fighting in North Africa, and this is 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:34.120 rural Tennessee. Most of these guys when they joined, they 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:40.000 weren't scrambling eggs. They're putting rounds down range. They're killing 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.000 a lot. They're watching their friends be killed. And now 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:50.000 they're hearing about their brothers from their hometown getting shot 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.920 by corrupt sheriff deputies. When they go home. Oh that's 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.720 not gonna stand. The troops start coming home and they're 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.280 extremely angry, and it gets even worse from there. The 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:08.160 sheriff's deputies are taking what was called muster pay from 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.000 the returning troops. You would return home the army, the 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.520 Marine Corps would stroke you a check for your service. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:19.040 Thanks for joining. Appreciate it, deputy. They know where you live, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.840 they know you just got out. Hey, you're under arrest, 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.760 unless you'd like to hand over that hundred dollar check 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:33.320 you just got. The veterans began to get angry. They 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.440 joined together, and a VET by the name of Knox 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:43.680 Henry decides, I'm running against Sheriff Cantrell and the next election. 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.600 He's not actually running as a Republican. He's running as 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.159 a straight up reform candidate. That's how bad it was. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.600 I'm not even a Republican. I'm just the one running 0:17:54.880 --> 0:18:01.159 to stop this corruption. We are leading up to the 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:06.720 election and it's starting to get very tense in the area. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.960 Veterans from other counties are coming to help, coming to 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.160 stand in as poll watchers to make sure the election 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:20.600 can't be rigged. Eh Crump also controls the local newspaper 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.720 in this town, which prints it prints off whatever he 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.159 tells them to print off, and even that's not working. 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.200 The citizens are all behind the veterans. The sheriffs are 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:39.040 the bad guys they are. Trump begins deputizing even more criminals, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.480 brings in two hundred of them from all over outside 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.040 of the state. Come in. We need you to be 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.880 a poll watcher. Here's a badge, here's a gun. Now 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.040 you can arrest somebody. And it looks like it's going 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.280 to be a really tense election day because you have 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.440 a bunch of veterans who take no crap and they 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.280 decide they're going to watch the polls too. Now we 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.360 need to pause for a brief moment in our story today. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.760 I'm going to tell you a brief side story about me, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.640 because I want you to understand something about the mentality 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:21.000 of veterans, especially grunts. You change when you go to war. 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.440 You have to change in order to change from being 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.040 the person you are now to being somebody who can 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.879 pick up a weapon and shoot someone in the face. 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.800 You have to make adjustments because you don't want to 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.480 be that guy now in your daily life and I 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.679 don't want you to be. You have to adjust mentally, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:46.080 and then when you get back, like it or not, 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.760 it takes time to adjust back. Some guys, sadly can 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:55.359 never do it, but it takes time. When I got 0:19:55.400 --> 0:20:00.000 back from combat, I went back to work in construct 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.440 got out of the Marine Corps, went back to work 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:06.679 in construction. We were doing a project in Arizona. I'm 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.520 not going to name the time. We're doing a construction 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.280 project in Arizona. And you know I hate thieves, right, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.719 I hate them. We had these big boxes where there 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.880 were conex boxes. They were called just It's a big 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.520 metal box where at the end of the day you 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:25.359 would put all of your valuables, all your pieces of machinery, shovels, whatever, 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.600 whatever isn't tied downs gonna get stolen. So you throw 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.160 your things in the context box, shut it and lock 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.960 it at the end of a day. Well, we had 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.720 a bunch of thefts pop up. You see. We had 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.840 some semi pros in the area. They could cut through 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.200 our connex box. They were cutting through and they were 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:52.360 stealing our things. What's a normal human reaction to somebody 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:58.720 stealing your things? A normal human reaction in everyday life. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:04.280 Let's pick up the phone and call the police. That's 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.360 what you would do, right, and you should I'm telling 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.239 you to do otherwise, that's what you would do. You 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.560 would pick up the phone and you would file a 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.560 police support, maybe ask somebody to come out take some pictures, 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.879 see if they have any suspects that will That's what 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:26.480 you would do. You want to know what I would do? Yeah, 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.800 You're never completely ready to adopt a team for a 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:54.439 late nights writing English papers are your teen's music taste 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.280 for dinners where they talk more on their phone than 0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:01.680 with you. For the first time they call your mom. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.199 You're never completely ready to adopt a teen, and you 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:09.040 can't imagine the reward.

But first back to me before I 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:22.800 get back to our story. You know what My solution 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:28.760 was walked in my dad's office and I told him, no, 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.800 it's okay. I'll just I'm gonna get a couple of 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:33.719 weapons and go hide in the context box and I'll 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:35.240 kill them when they come back and do it again. 0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.440 This is a real conversation I had. I was a 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.639 few months out of combat, few months back, and I 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.240 didn't see anything wrong with it. And my old man 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.040 could not have been cooler about it. But you could 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.920 tell he was. He's looking at me thinking, wait what 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.000 he knew? I was dead serious, toy, he knew I said, seriously. 0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.560 He said, no, we're just we're gonna call the Cops'll 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:06.000 just who does call the cops? And I'm looking back 0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:10.879 on it now, I obviously think, ooh, that was probably 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.800 a little drastic for a couple of dirt balls stealing 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:18.119 a chainsaw. But without hesitation, without a second thought, I 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:23.920 was just gonna go kill him. Now, it's not because 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.720 I was some sick freak. I mean I am a 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:30.000 sick freak. But that's how you have to think. You 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:33.960 think in terms like that in combat, and you don't 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:37.280 just turn it off when you come back. Now, let's 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:41.200 go to Athens, Tennessee, nineteen forty six. You are fresh 0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:45.679 back from the Pacific, where you've seen Japanese soldiers commit 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:49.440 war crimes that can't even be described on this family 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:53.280 friendly show. You've been in North Africa fighting Nazis. You've 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:57.760 seen your buddies shot, burn stabbed, and incinerated across the globe, 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.879 and you have returned the favor. You come back and 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:05.199 find out that sheriff's deputies are killing your guys and 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:09.640 bullying your people, you begin to think in different terms. 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.680 Veterans are doing their pole watching, the deputies are doing 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:19.960 their pole watching. It is tense, to put it mildly. Finally, 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.960 an old black farmer walks in to cast his vote. 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:31.879 They assumed the farmer was voting Republican. Also, remember when 0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:33.560 I said they brought in a bunch of guys from 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.680 out of town. Guys from out of town, maybe other 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:40.439 parts of the South some scumbag criminal at the time 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:45.600 would almost undoubtedly have some different racial views. To put 0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:49.480 it mildly, and when you're from out of town, you 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.880 don't really realize how everyone else thinks. He probably saw 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.280 a black guy walk in and thought, I can talk 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.280 to this guy anyway I want and treat him anyway 0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.040 I want. After all, I'm sure every one around here 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:05.320 feels the same. It's not that way in smaller communities. 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.560 He told the black guy he couldn't vote. He then 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.400 called him the N word. The black guy obviously has 0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:16.200 a big issue with this. The sheriff's deputy pulls out 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:19.480 brass knuckles and hits him with it. That's assault with 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.920 a deadly weapon. I should put it. I should put 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.399 that out there for you. Hits him with it. The 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:29.480 black dude takes off running with his ballot. The sheriff's 0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:34.480 deputy shoots him in the back. He thinks he's going 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.760 to get away with this. Now it's on. The veterans 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:42.320 freak The townspeople freak out, and they get on the 0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:46.199 phone right away, to their credit, holding themselves back, and 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:49.240 they call the governor of Tennessee, and they call the 0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:53.000 Attorney General of Tennessee, and they say get down here now, 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:57.080 these freaking crup scumbags are shooting people at the polls. 0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:02.760 The AG says, who is this, Sorry, I'm busy today. 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:10.320 They get nowhere because they're all in on it. Well, 0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:14.520 now you're in trouble. Now a mob of citizens begins 0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:20.000 to gather. The cops are now severely outnumbered. They take 0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:22.760 a couple of the poll watchers who were there, remember 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.040 the pull watchers. They take them hostage and bar the doors. 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.800 They haul the votes to the jail, take a couple 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:35.400 of pulwatchers hostage, and bar the doors. Veterans now have 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:40.919 had enough. This actually happened. The veterans go to the 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:45.560 National Guard armory in town and loot it for all 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:50.480 the military weapons. Now you have World War two veterans 0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:55.160 armed to the teeth. The cops follow the veterans there, 0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.720 only the cops do not realize who they're dealing with. Soon, 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.880 all seven cops who followed them are chained to trees 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:05.720 out in the wilderness, and the veterans left them there. 0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.200 Then they take them back, or then they take their 0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:16.600 weapons back into town. We in the meantime, I should 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.879 point out one veteran who had one arm and it 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.840 was missing the fingers on another hand, he lost them. 0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:26.199 In North Africa, had been beaten almost to death with 0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:29.560 a blackjack from a sheriff's deputy. This is going off now. 0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:35.040 Now all the deputies have retreated into the jail with 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:39.959 the ballots, and the veterans, armed veterans surround the jail 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:46.240 and say bring the ballots out. Now. Only when I 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:52.840 say surround the jail, understand something. There's how you would 0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:57.080 surround the jail, and there's how trained combat veterans would 0:28:57.080 --> 0:29:02.120 surround the jail. One you've been to combat once, you 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:06.520 know how to handle yourself and handle a small unit. 0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:12.880 It's just different. You think combat is holding your weapon, 0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:20.600 aiming it and shooting. It's movement, it's communication, it's position. 0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:26.120 That's who wins in combat. These veterans not only have 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:30.360 military grade weaponry, they have the high ground. They have 0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:34.640 the jail locked down, and these veterans are simply better 0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:40.320 at killing people than the deputies inside. They have it surrounded. 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:47.920 Not only do they surround it. Couple cops walk out, 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:58.480 do some threats, talk a little tough. Couple cops go down, shot, boom, dang. 0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:04.240
