Speaker 1: number one right now on all the book sides. He's
Speaker 1: just killing it, absolutely killing it. Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: show dot com. Remember tomorrow is an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday.
Speaker 1: The weeks are heavy enough. On Fridays, we screw off
Speaker 1: on this show. I know we have a bunch of
Speaker 1: new listeners. Here's how it works. Before I go into
Speaker 1: the story. You know that politics isn't exactly a brightened,
Speaker 1: sunny topic right now. Obviously we beg it as fun
Speaker 1: as we can, just because I refuse to be a
Speaker 1: miserable human being. But it sucks right now. All week long,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about taxesn't spending in culture, wars
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. At all those things. Wait, do
Speaker 1: you know? Look how willing am I to tackle the
Speaker 1: tough issues. But on Friday the entire show, I think
Speaker 1: I only have one guest, sometimes zero guests. On Friday
Speaker 1: the entire show, I answer listener questions either live phone
Speaker 1: calls or voicemails or emails, and they do not have
Speaker 1: to be political. I use my almost three years of
Speaker 1: community college credits to pretend to be a doctor, and
Speaker 1: I answer history questions and food questions, and questions about boys,
Speaker 1: and questions about girls, and travel question whatever you can imagine,
Speaker 1: idiotic doomsday scenarios, animal fights, you name it. I answer
Speaker 1: them on Fridays, and that is tomorrow. If you haven't
Speaker 1: yet had the pleasure tune in for that one, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a real good time. Now. World War zero,
Speaker 1: that's what they called the Russo Japanese War, a war
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the people have never even heard of before.
Speaker 1: It was a Russian versus japan war, as you may
Speaker 1: have guessed from the name, the Russo Japanese. They frankly
Speaker 1: did not put a lot of time into that label,
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. This was early nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: nineteen o four to be specific, but that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: No one remembers that stuff early nineteen hundreds, and we
Speaker 1: have to do a brief set up on each country
Speaker 1: before we can possibly go into the war. Let's start
Speaker 1: with Russia first. This is not like the Russia you
Speaker 1: think of today. This was a Russia where a tsar
Speaker 1: ran things and had pretty much always run things since
Speaker 1: Russia had been unified and came into existence. And this
Speaker 1: was the back end a few hundred years of this
Speaker 1: same family running things in Russia. And to say he
Speaker 1: wasn't doing a good job would really really be putting
Speaker 1: it mildly. In his defense. This is Tzar Nicholas the Seconds,
Speaker 1: and he didn't ever want the job and openly said
Speaker 1: he didn't want the job, which sounds weird because who
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be king? But I will say this,
Speaker 1: and it's easy for me to say because I'm not
Speaker 1: one of the Russian people who was brutally put down
Speaker 1: in one of his protest stompings. But he seems like
Speaker 1: kind of a good dude, loves his family, loves his kids,
Speaker 1: loves his wife, just kind of a good dude that
Speaker 1: had no desire to be in charge of one of
Speaker 1: the major superpowers of the world. And he steps into
Speaker 1: a job that one he didn't like and two wasn't
Speaker 1: good at and it goes pretty much exactly like you think.
Speaker 1: This is a period of time will both struggle to comprehend.
Speaker 1: This is a period of time when the nations around
Speaker 1: the globe are advancing industry wise, technology wise rapidly. It's
Speaker 1: just one of those times in world history where where
Speaker 1: a steamships are turning into oil ships, and this factory
Speaker 1: is turning into this, and this is turning into that,
Speaker 1: and this gun is oh wow, we were just using
Speaker 1: muskets like like twenty years ago, and now someone has
Speaker 1: a machine gun and we better buy a machine gun.
Speaker 1: And it's that period of time and nations, even the
Speaker 1: big ones, but the small ones too are struggling with
Speaker 1: the cost of this kind of advancement and how to
Speaker 1: advance while also keeping your traditions. Now, that's hard for
Speaker 1: us to understand because we've grown up in a relatively
Speaker 1: technological age. Look, when I was a kid, there were
Speaker 1: car phones in beepers. That was advanced technology. And I
Speaker 1: realized we've gone way past that now, but still a
Speaker 1: technological age. It was breaking Russia financially trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with the Joneses on an industry level, and Russia
Speaker 1: in and of itself is a strange bird. You've heard
Speaker 1: me ask our foreign policy expert guests this several times
Speaker 1: you'll hear me ask it again, Why is Russia? Why
Speaker 1: are they ever having financial problems when they're that gigantic
Speaker 1: of a country. Shouldn't they be drowning in natural resources?
Speaker 1: And the answer is, well, it kind of plays into
Speaker 1: our story here. No, they're not really drowning in natural resources,
Speaker 1: especially not for a country that big. And it's not
Speaker 1: just it's not just how much you own, it's where
Speaker 1: it is. Location. Location. Location doesn't just apply when you're
Speaker 1: moving out of your first department and buying your first house.
Speaker 1: It applies to nations too. The truth is, so much
Speaker 1: of Russia. I pull up a map. You you don't
Speaker 1: do this very often, but pull up a map and
Speaker 1: look at Russia. It is really far north, and it
Speaker 1: is barren and icy and cold. It's not as if
Speaker 1: it's that that big of a nation and the whole
Speaker 1: thing is lush green fields and mine No no, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of it. It's big, but a lot of
Speaker 1: it is uninhabitable, uninhabitable, it's terrible. And because of that,
Speaker 1: Russia is extra protective of the parts of it that
Speaker 1: are habitable, that are profitable, and they're constantly trying to
Speaker 1: expand on that. A little bit. It's part of the
Speaker 1: reason they're always pushing around Georgia or one of these
Speaker 1: smaller nations next to it. It's it's not it's not
Speaker 1: just an imperial dreams type thing. It's a okay, it
Speaker 1: is a little of that, but it's also I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: Georgia is not that big, and I mean that is
Speaker 1: that's the kind of land we actually want. It would
Speaker 1: be nice if we had that, which plays into our story.
Speaker 1: There was something called Port Arthur. Just think Korea. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it that, just think Korea. Why would Russia
Speaker 1: want this port? Russia wanted this port because it was
Speaker 1: one of the few and their sphere of influence that
Speaker 1: wasn't iced over for half the year. Shipping is then,
Speaker 1: just as it is now, extremely important to the wealth
Speaker 1: of a nation, goods coming in, goods going out. You
Speaker 1: really really really need ships. You do to have a
Speaker 1: nation that has an ocean border versus a landlocked nation
Speaker 1: is it's drastically different how much how much you can
Speaker 1: do economically. It's just really important for the country. And
Speaker 1: we are twelve years removed from the Russian Revolution where
Speaker 1: the communists take over the country, so that should tell
Speaker 1: you how stable this regime is that people are unhappy,
Speaker 1: to put it mild. There are assassination attempts. People are
Speaker 1: getting assassinated there. If you call them terrorist groups popping up,
Speaker 1: those are put down brutally because let's be honest, it's
Speaker 1: still Russia. And then more of them pop up, and
Speaker 1: it's that's Russian but still one of, if not the
Speaker 1: most powerful nations in the world at this time, Which
Speaker 1: brings us to Japan. Oh, Japan, that's gonna be a time.
Speaker 1: All right, stay tuned, Steve Dace next hour, we'll continue
Speaker 1: with this story. Hang on, miss something. There's a podcast
Speaker 1: getting on demand wherever podcasts are founding, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: I hated, hated, hated trying to quit dipping, and it's
Speaker 1: because I guess it was my fault. I didn't use
Speaker 1: the right things. I didn't do the right things. I
Speaker 1: tried to do it with nothing at first. Oh just quit,
Speaker 1: I can do it. No, no, absolutely not. And I
Speaker 1: tried the nicotine patch. Honestly, that did nothing for me
Speaker 1: at all. I still wanted something in my lip. And
Speaker 1: that's why Jake's mint chew works so well. It's a replacement,
Speaker 1: a replacement you put in your lip a replacement that
Speaker 1: can have the flavor you wanted to have. Eleven different
Speaker 1: long cut flavors, four different flavors of the CBD pouches.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It's nicotine free, it's tobacco free,
Speaker 1: it's even sugar free. But it gives you that replacement
Speaker 1: to get you off it. Get at Jake's mint Chew
Speaker 1: dot com. That's Jake's mint Chew dot com. Used to
Speaker 1: promo code Jesse at checkout twenty percent off. Somebody tried
Speaker 1: to pass a Golden Retriever off as a lion and
Speaker 1: shockingly it didn't work. Dangn is. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. You can find me on social media at
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly DC on Twitter, Instagram, I'm on Facebook. You
Speaker 1: can also find me on locals. Remember, especially with the
Speaker 1: trouble I got in last night, I won't be banned
Speaker 1: very soon from Twitter in Instagram. You know what, Chris,
Speaker 1: go ahead and pull that video of that father putting
Speaker 1: his son's officer pins on him in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 1: It was a tear jerker. I think it would even
Speaker 1: be it for radio. Don't worry, You'll you'll see it.
Speaker 1: You'll know what I'm talking about. Chris, just read my mind. Gosh,
Speaker 1: you know, in hindsight, we probably shouldn't do this in
Speaker 1: front of the million people that are listening. Maybe this
Speaker 1: is stuff we should do during the break. But I
Speaker 1: had to get a cup of coffee. It's fine, all right.
Speaker 1: The Russo Japanese War, World War Zero. I already kind
Speaker 1: of set up Russia as best I could at the time.
Speaker 1: Now let's go to one of my favorite subjects in
Speaker 1: the world, Japan. I make no bones about it. I
Speaker 1: am a fan of Japanese culture then and now. I
Speaker 1: think it's a cool culture. I always had when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. I used to love that Samurai stuff,
Speaker 1: but it just look I even think that. I think
Speaker 1: the architecture is cool. And then I visited Japan and
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps. We did some time in Okinawa and
Speaker 1: I got to go up to Tokyo for a while,
Speaker 1: and whatnot. What a cool place in a country that size,
Speaker 1: that modern, that many people and almost no violent crime.
Speaker 1: It's just a different place. So I'm a Japanese fan.
Speaker 1: I like the Japanese people. I think the culture is
Speaker 1: really cool. There are some problems, though, some real problems,
Speaker 1: and this is an era where some of those problems
Speaker 1: are starting to sprout up for Japanese culture. It is
Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundreds. Long time listeners of the show
Speaker 1: will know this basic story, but I realize we're picking
Speaker 1: up new affiliates every day, which is unbelievable, and there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who've never heard this at all.
Speaker 1: So let's discuss Japan briefly. Mid eighteen hundreds, we discover Japan.
Speaker 1: That's not what I mean. We knew Japan was there,
Speaker 1: but we pop into Japan and we see a people
Speaker 1: that look like it looks like we have traveled back
Speaker 1: in time. When we land on the Japanese shores. We
Speaker 1: are talking technologically the least advanced quote modern society out there.
Speaker 1: They just for a few hundred years, Japan, I mean,
Speaker 1: Japan's insular now and they're practically open compared to what
Speaker 1: they were back then. For a few hundred years, Japan
Speaker 1: just was like, you know, we don't need anybody here.
Speaker 1: Now there was some trade. The people act like there
Speaker 1: wasn't any but we don't really need any foreigners here.
Speaker 1: Oh we're not gonna leave, but you're not gonna come
Speaker 1: and We're not really interested in anything you're doing. We
Speaker 1: have our way of the samurai stuff, we have our
Speaker 1: showgun stuff, we have the Emperor, we have things we
Speaker 1: like and we don't really care about anyone else. And
Speaker 1: we pop in their shores and other people do too
Speaker 1: and see a people that they still all have swords.
Speaker 1: And this is obviously the era of firearms. And part
Speaker 1: of the reason I admire Japan so much is they
Speaker 1: could have done when they got popped in on and
Speaker 1: discovered how backwards they were because they didn't know, they
Speaker 1: could have done what so many traditional proud people do.
Speaker 1: And just so I'm not changing, and nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: my sword. Don't talk to me about these guns. What
Speaker 1: can a gun do that a sword, kid, And don't
Speaker 1: laugh at that that's happened, that's killed people out there
Speaker 1: before militarily Japan looked around and said, you know, all
Speaker 1: these white powers, and we're gonna talk a lot about
Speaker 1: race today, as we always do. And I need to
Speaker 1: clarify something here. I realize that it can be offensive
Speaker 1: to people when I say things like Jewish producer Chris,
Speaker 1: when I talk about black people, Asian people, white people, Mexicans, Guatemalans,
Speaker 1: when I talk about the differences in religions, I understand
Speaker 1: that can be really, really offensive to people. So I
Speaker 1: need to clarify something right now. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you're offended at all. I can't possibly explain to you
Speaker 1: how little that means to me. You need to buck up,
Speaker 1: get a thicker skin. We enjoy talking about these things,
Speaker 1: and we only move forward as a society by talking
Speaker 1: about these things and joking about these things. That's how
Speaker 1: I came up, and I ain't changing for anybody. Clear.
Speaker 1: Now back to the story. Japan saw the white powers
Speaker 1: of the world of France, Britain. They saw them bouncing around,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly America to a lesser extent. They saw
Speaker 1: them bouncing around and colonizing everything, taking over everything. In Japan,
Speaker 1: proud as they were, didn't want to be colonized. They
Speaker 1: wanted to stay Japan. And the only way you're going
Speaker 1: to avoid that. This is a lesson for everybody in history.
Speaker 1: It's a lesson for us now. The only way to
Speaker 1: avoid being colonized is to become strong enough economically and
Speaker 1: militarily that you cannot be taken by force. The world
Speaker 1: has not changed the history of the world is less
Speaker 1: technologically advanced people, weaker economic people being taken over and
Speaker 1: dominated by stronger economies. It is the history of the
Speaker 1: world and it will happen again period again. Well, we shouldn't.
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have done that to the Native Americans. What
Speaker 1: happened to the Native Americans in America is the same
Speaker 1: thing that happened to every single tribal people across the
Speaker 1: globe when they encountered a more technologically advanced society. They
Speaker 1: weren't strong enough to avoid getting crushed. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm the biggest Indian fan in the world, but that's
Speaker 1: just a fact that happened all over Africa. It happened
Speaker 1: all over Europe. That's what Caesar did to the gulls. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Japan decides that's not going to be us. They go
Speaker 1: into something that is called the Meiji Restoration, and there
Speaker 1: were I don't want to act like all of Japan
Speaker 1: was on board with advancing technologically. They actually had to
Speaker 1: fight a civil war. I'm straight out of that movie
Speaker 1: The Last The Last Samurai. You know what, I should
Speaker 1: do something on the civil war one time where the
Speaker 1: old school like samurai types with the swords gathered up
Speaker 1: and fought the guys who wanted to advance with guns
Speaker 1: and muskets and stuff like that. And you know, bravery
Speaker 1: only takes you so far when you're getting shot in
Speaker 1: the face. The samurai got killed, they died. But Japan
Speaker 1: goes through a rapid economic and military advancement and they
Speaker 1: do this in the smartest ways. Again, it's so it's
Speaker 1: so impressive for a nation to do this, to just change.
Speaker 1: They go all around the world, they find who does
Speaker 1: everything the best. They send advisors there, They take advisors
Speaker 1: from them, they buy things from them. Oh, who's really
Speaker 1: good at mining? Oh? These and I'm totally making this
Speaker 1: country up. So don't don't take this by heart. Oh,
Speaker 1: Russia is really good at mighty. Let's sense the advisors
Speaker 1: to Russia. Let's let's find out how they mind, so
Speaker 1: we can mind really well. And then we'll tell Russia
Speaker 1: will buy some of their stuff to make it advantageous
Speaker 1: for them, and then Russia likes it. It becomes a partnership.
Speaker 1: They sense stuff back. That's how it worked. They did it,
Speaker 1: and this is going to come into play in our
Speaker 1: story here. They did it with Britain. When it came
Speaker 1: to a navy. If you want to build a navy,
Speaker 1: especially at this time, there's only one top dog in
Speaker 1: the world, and it was the Royal Navy. Japan goes
Speaker 1: to Britain. Those are some sweet ships. We would love
Speaker 1: to buy some of those from you, so that'd be
Speaker 1: good for your economy. We would also love to send
Speaker 1: some guys here do some cross training. Would you mind
Speaker 1: teaching us how to sail? But they weren't sailing, But
Speaker 1: would you mind teaching us how to run a navy?
Speaker 1: We'll buy some stuff, so on and so forth. And
Speaker 1: this was a partnership at the time Britain in Japan. Now,
Speaker 1: when I say partnership, you need to know there was
Speaker 1: all kinds of racial animosity back then, just as there
Speaker 1: is now. It's just everyone was allowed to be more
Speaker 1: open about it. The Japanese people were terribly racist. The
Speaker 1: British people were terribly racist. The Russians were terribly racist.
Speaker 1: The Russians at one point in time, In fact, it's
Speaker 1: going to come into play and our story referred to
Speaker 1: the Japanese people. It's monkeys. The Japanese people were racist
Speaker 1: against Chinese people. There are racist again? What everyone was racist?
Speaker 1: Okay again, everybody holds some prejudice, and it really it
Speaker 1: causes wars. It causes huge mistakes back then because you're
Speaker 1: not looking at things that actually matter. It's just the
Speaker 1: way it goes. All right, we're not finished. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to the Russo Japanese War. And oh good, our
Speaker 1: Olympic athletes can kneel for the anthem sweet hang on hi.
Speaker 1: We're the Google dolls. We're fortunate that we can give
Speaker 1: our daughters everything they need to grow and learn. But
Speaker 1: not every child can focus on classes and play dates.
Speaker 1: Nearly ten million kids in the US face hunger. That's
Speaker 1: one in six. School lunch might be their only meal
Speaker 1: each day, and it's heartbreaking to imagine any child going
Speaker 1: to bed hungry. We're dreaming but perfect day when kids
Speaker 1: can smile, play and just be kids without worrying about
Speaker 1: where their next meal will come from. Feeding America is
Speaker 1: working to make that perfect day reality. Each year, the
Speaker 1: Feeding America network of food banks rescues billions of pounds
Speaker 1: of good food that would have gone to waste. That
Speaker 1: food is given to families and children and me. Being
Speaker 1: a kid should be about doing things that make an
Speaker 1: ordinary day extraordinary. Learning to play an instrument, building a sandcastle,
Speaker 1: hosting tea parties. Hunger should never be an obstacle to
Speaker 1: growing up. You can help bend child and hunger in
Speaker 1: your community by visiting Feeding America dot org, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Feeding America and the AD Council. So I
Speaker 1: became the algebra on Monday. I haven't had it yet,
Speaker 1: but I am. I am planning on doing it this week.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we're gonna do it on camera. I
Speaker 1: mean we'll say, if you guys want a gun show,
Speaker 1: maybe we could do it, but probably better. That's heavy.
Speaker 1: D Gosh, that kills me. The dude's pretty good, man,
Speaker 1: The dude is pretty good. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.
Speaker 1: We are We are opening on the Russo Japanese War,
Speaker 1: World War zero, as it's known here, before we get
Speaker 1: to all the other disastrous news, Chris, did you see
Speaker 1: this John Durham issuing subpoenas and interviewing witnesses. I forgot
Speaker 1: the guy was still alive. This is no joke. I'm
Speaker 1: not even kidding. I'm not making this up. I do
Speaker 1: this for a living. It's three of three hours of
Speaker 1: radio a day, in an hour TV every day. I
Speaker 1: legitimately thought John Durham existed, or I forgot he existed.
Speaker 1: For about a two or three month stretch. There Bill Barr?
Speaker 1: Who's at Who's Bill Barr? Did he hold some position
Speaker 1: of significance? I don't know whoever he is. He never
Speaker 1: did anything, not that i'd know anything about that. Oh
Speaker 1: that was the guy who gave I know who that is.
Speaker 1: That was the guy who gave snappy little speeches in
Speaker 1: front of the congressional committees. Oh, okay, he wouldn't. He wouldn't.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't an attorney general or anything. Right if he did,
Speaker 1: If he was, I didn't see it all right. Japan
Speaker 1: is on the rise technologically, militarily, and because they're on
Speaker 1: the rise, we start to look around and decide, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, we've grown enough that we were not
Speaker 1: going to be colonized. Then, even if they can't take Britain,
Speaker 1: which they probably couldn't at this point in time, Britain's
Speaker 1: not gonna look at Japan and think, oh, let's go
Speaker 1: push them around and take their stuff. But power is
Speaker 1: a funny thing. Power is rarely something that remains dormant
Speaker 1: when you when you acquire a skill set, you want
Speaker 1: to use said skill set. It's just it's the way
Speaker 1: it goes. You ever known a super fitness dude or
Speaker 1: a super fitness woman. I'm sure you do. Somebody who's
Speaker 1: just really into fitness. Do they wear a lot of clothing? No,
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't. It's not that they're it's not
Speaker 1: that they're half naked at all times because they're you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, trampy or something like that. They maybe,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's something they've worked hard for.
Speaker 1: They look good without clothes on, so they don't wear clothes.
Speaker 1: At least they wear the bare minimum period. You see
Speaker 1: the dude, Oh sorry, it did the sleeves fall off
Speaker 1: my shirt? My bad? Hang on, look at my calves
Speaker 1: and the same thing with the with the dimes too,
Speaker 1: and look, hey, nobody's complaining, but oh wow, look yoga
Speaker 1: pants in a tank top. Shocking. It's just oh those
Speaker 1: shorts aren't Those shorts are practically underwear. Apparently she does squats.
Speaker 1: That's it's human nature. When you have a skill set
Speaker 1: you've acquired, you want to use it. Japan looks around
Speaker 1: and says to itself, Wow, we got modern, real fast.
Speaker 1: We're doing real well here. M Korea doesn't look like
Speaker 1: they could put up much of a fight. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go into the details of it, but Japan
Speaker 1: starts to really take over Korea as a sphere of influence,
Speaker 1: and everyone talks about the evil colonial powers. I will
Speaker 1: tell you, if you do any reading at all, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll do a show one at one time about the
Speaker 1: Japanese occupation of Korea. It's more brutal than anything you've
Speaker 1: ever read before. It's really really bad. Really they treat again,
Speaker 1: it was very as they thought they were simply a
Speaker 1: superior race to the Koreans and treated them, I mean,
Speaker 1: second class citizens does not even count. It was lower
Speaker 1: than that. So the situation by nineteen o four was
Speaker 1: this in northern China, a place called Manchuria. Russia had
Speaker 1: a railway through there. Russia was using this area to
Speaker 1: help their own economy. China is in tatters right now.
Speaker 1: It's run by warlords, it's not unified. So the nations
Speaker 1: around that area are starting to pick at China a
Speaker 1: little bit. Oh, I kind of like this. You can't
Speaker 1: stop me. Oh, I think I'll take this as well.
Speaker 1: Russia does this with this area. Japan they like Korea.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. Japan, they thought they should be
Speaker 1: able to negotiate with the Russians. Okay, you can have
Speaker 1: this and I'll have that. And there was this port
Speaker 1: called Port Arthur. It was a big part of it,
Speaker 1: and Japan said to Russia, okay, well here's the deal,
Speaker 1: Port Arthur. I know you like it. I know you
Speaker 1: want one of these ports that doesn't freeze over in
Speaker 1: the winter because your country's an icy dump. You take
Speaker 1: Port Arthur. It can be all yours, but you let
Speaker 1: us have Korea. We'll go ahead and have Korea for ourselves. Russia, honestly,
Speaker 1: a lot of this came to do with came from
Speaker 1: a racial disrespect area. Russia, shockingly arrogant said no, I
Speaker 1: think I want Korea and the port, and Japan's is
Speaker 1: saying back to them, excuse me, do you know who
Speaker 1: you're talking to? And Russia says, yeah, I know who
Speaker 1: I'm talking to. I'm talking to an Asian power. An
Speaker 1: Asian power has up to this point never taken on
Speaker 1: a white power and succeeded. I mean, in this relatively
Speaker 1: modern era, I view you as lesser people like I said,
Speaker 1: they called the monkeys, and I'll take whatever I want
Speaker 1: and you'll shut up because you're Japan and we're the
Speaker 1: great Russia and Japan. You can almost you can almost
Speaker 1: see the whole country say, okay, all right, parently, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this now. These are not a people who
Speaker 1: are just gonna lay down and accept that. And Japan
Speaker 1: does to Russia frankly, exactly what they did to us
Speaker 1: in Pearl Harbor. A dirty move. Well, dirty's in the
Speaker 1: eye of the beholder. Japan breaks off negotiations, says, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we're leaving, and then, without declaring war, Japan
Speaker 1: sends the navy into Port Arthur, where the Russian Navy is.
Speaker 1: The Russian Navy is parked just outside of the port
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, because they're not at
Speaker 1: war and there's not really a threat of war, they're
Speaker 1: parked out there in the middle of the night. They're
Speaker 1: not really watching as you always should be, and the
Speaker 1: freaking lights are on. Do you know what a ship
Speaker 1: looks like in the ocean in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night with the lights on. It's a gigantic shoot a
Speaker 1: torpedo into me sign, and that's exactly what the Japanese did.
Speaker 1: Two days before declaring war. They show up and start
Speaker 1: blasting away at the Russian navy with torpedoes. The Russians
Speaker 1: freak out. They race their port back into the harbor,
Speaker 1: at which point Japan says, okay, that works too, when
Speaker 1: they start shelling the ships inside of the harbor and
Speaker 1: they haven't even declared war yet. Two days of this
Speaker 1: and finally Japan declares war. Well, Russia, they stand up
Speaker 1: and say, whoa hey, world, did anyone see what they
Speaker 1: just did? They just attacked us without declaring war, at
Speaker 1: which point the global power at the time, the number
Speaker 1: one Britain steps in and says, remember they were friends
Speaker 1: with Japan, they've been working together. Britain steps in and says, oh,
Speaker 1: they're fine, don't whine about it, Russia, it's no big deal.
Speaker 1: So nobody steps in and Japan now knows they have
Speaker 1: a free reign and it's on. The war itself was
Speaker 1: pretty fast, lasted only about a year. The Russian navy
Speaker 1: gets blasted out of the harbor. Russia is now panicking.
Speaker 1: They have another navy in the Baltic which, if you
Speaker 1: want to look at a map for Korea versus the Baltic.
Speaker 1: It took some time for the Russian navy to get there.
Speaker 1: The Russian navy packs up from the Baltic and races
Speaker 1: over towards this area so they can fight off the
Speaker 1: Japanese navy. Surely that first battle was a fluke. On
Speaker 1: the way, Russia almost gets itself into war with Britain
Speaker 1: because they shoot and sink a British civilian vessel out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. And I've read both things on it. I
Speaker 1: don't know which one to believe. I did want to
Speaker 1: tell you both of them. One of them said, the
Speaker 1: guy mistook it for a Japanese vessel. The other one said,
Speaker 1: the guy knew it was a British vessel. He was
Speaker 1: mad at Britain for not stepping in and for helping Japan,
Speaker 1: and he just sunk it out of spite. But he
Speaker 1: almost causes a war with the most powerful country in
Speaker 1: the world. Either way, that Russian navy keeps on churning
Speaker 1: over there. It's time to go teach these dirty Japanese
Speaker 1: some lessons. And they show up and promptly get pounded again.
Speaker 1: Sunk Japanese navy wipes out the Russians. We're almost Donnall
Speaker 1: wrapped this up in a second. And the Dog that
Speaker 1: tried to be a lion The Talk Radio Revolution. Jesse Kelly,
Speaker 1: you know, the Eden Pure Thunderstorm uses sonic technology. It
Speaker 1: produces a super oxygen that purifies your air the same
Speaker 1: way nature or does after a thunderstorm. That's why they

Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. Vaccine Chris play heavy d again. I have
Speaker 1: to have it. I have to have it, so I
Speaker 1: became elgib on Monday. I haven't had it yet, but
Speaker 1: I am. I am planning on doing it this week.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we're gonna do it on camera. I
Speaker 1: mean we'll say, I mean, if you guys want a
Speaker 1: gun show, maybe we could do it. But he the
Speaker 1: more he goes full meathead, the more I appreciate him.
Speaker 1: What Chris, that's that's not nice saying it's relatable for me.
Speaker 1: That's not nice at all. It is the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.
Speaker 1: China's military preparing for us. Oh gosh, that hurts. All right,
Speaker 1: let's finish World Old War zero. The Chinese or the
Speaker 1: Japanese navy beat up the Russian navy twice, and then
Speaker 1: they went to war with the Russians on land. And
Speaker 1: this is really the first this is the first window
Speaker 1: we had anybody had into how terrible World War one
Speaker 1: was going to be, because now both sides have machine guns.
Speaker 1: But remember what we've talked about a thousand times, that
Speaker 1: movie Man on Fire. The line that I blatantly stole
Speaker 1: from that movie because it's so true, there's no such
Speaker 1: thing as tough there's trained and there's untrained. You look
Speaker 1: up to our super Ninja soldiers as the best in
Speaker 1: the world, and they are like the Green Beret types,
Speaker 1: Delta Forest types, seals, all those guys. They're the best
Speaker 1: of the world. Why are they Well, yes, there's an
Speaker 1: internal toughness in those men, but they train more and
Speaker 1: better than everyone else because we have the money. Oh,
Speaker 1: you'd like to go training again today, Sure, here's an
Speaker 1: other twenty thousand rounds go. Well, the Russian economy that
Speaker 1: was struggling, well, they had a lot of troops. Their
Speaker 1: weapons weren't even that bad. They didn't train that often.
Speaker 1: The Russians couldn't shoot worth a darn. The Japanese trained
Speaker 1: all the time. The Japanese were out there driving tacks.
Speaker 1: The Russians were not. And you just can't you can't
Speaker 1: quantify that. When I mean, I'll make it as easy
Speaker 1: as possible. When one hundred men are facing off against
Speaker 1: another hundred men and all of them have rifles, and
Speaker 1: in the first minute the first army loses twenty guys
Speaker 1: and the other army loses five, well, then you have
Speaker 1: eighty men going up against ninety five men. And then
Speaker 1: if that happens again in a second minute. Now you
Speaker 1: have sixty men going up against ninety. And do you
Speaker 1: see what a difference that can make quickly on a
Speaker 1: grand scale. Half the reason you read these stories. You
Speaker 1: read that great story, The Lone Survivor bar Marcus Latreuelle.
Speaker 1: Most people have read the book, are seen the movie,
Speaker 1: or at least you know the story vaguely. Four Navy seals,
Speaker 1: You've granted, three of them died, one of them lived.
Speaker 1: But four Navy seals go up against like one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty Afghan fighters, tough fighters in the mountains, and
Speaker 1: they killed so many of those Afghans, and it's just
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem possible. The training is what makes it possible.
Speaker 1: You're a Navy seal with a thirty round magazine. Twenty
Speaker 1: guys are going to die when you're done unloading that
Speaker 1: thirty round magazine. You're in the Afghanistan mountains. You don't
Speaker 1: have that kind of training. You don't have the time,
Speaker 1: you don't have the money. That forty five round mag
Speaker 1: in the ak it's gonna be gone and you're lucky
Speaker 1: if you hit a single shot. It just as the difference.
Speaker 1: There's a big battle called the Battle of the Yalu River,
Speaker 1: not yellow, it's Yalu, y Alu. Japan wins, and then
Speaker 1: Japan wins, and then Japan wins, and soon this whole
Speaker 1: dag gun thing is over. And why do they call
Speaker 1: this thing World War zero? Well here's why. When the
Speaker 1: thing was over, they signed something called the Treaty of Portsmouth.
Speaker 1: Japan had won, no question, Japan had won. But Japan
Speaker 1: had spent all their money. They'd spent all their money
Speaker 1: fighting the war. Japan signs a treaty and demands a
Speaker 1: boatload of money from Russia, which was the norm is
Speaker 1: the norm. You're the loser, you gotta pay up. It
Speaker 1: gets expensive to lose wars. Teddy Roosevelt, the American President,
Speaker 1: steps in on behalf of Russia and saves them the money,
Speaker 1: tells Russia, no, no, no, no, it's okay. Let me
Speaker 1: ren negotiate this thing. So yeah, Japan had Korea after this.
Speaker 1: Japan stomped into Manchuria after this, and but also Japan
Speaker 1: had a massive axe to grind with the West after
Speaker 1: this one. They would never forget about. The Japanese people
Speaker 1: were so angry about this treaty where they got screwed
Speaker 1: after beating the crap out of Russia that they were rioting.
Speaker 1: There were deadly riots in the streets of Japan. That's
Speaker 1: how mad they were about it, and honestly, justifiably so,
Speaker 1: they were done wrong. These were not a people who
Speaker 1: were just going to let that go. They thought the
Speaker 1: white Western powers looked down on them, treated them like dirt,
Speaker 1: and they weren't necessarily wrong. Only this Japan wasn't pushover
Speaker 1: swords and samurai stuff Japan. This Japan was ready to rumble,
Speaker 1: and the world would find that out a couple world
Speaker 1: wars later. Why is it called World War zero because
Speaker 1: it virtually finished Russia bizarre was now a paper tiger
Speaker 1: out there and everybody knew it, which led to so
Speaker 1: much of World War One and the Russian Revolution. He
Speaker 1: couldn't hold off. We're not done yet, Stimulus checks forever.

Speaker 1: becoming even more anti Communist than I am. He is
Speaker 1: over here making the case during the break that Japan
Speaker 1: should have just kept go and not sign the treaty
Speaker 1: and just invaded Russia and just killed him all And
Speaker 1: he's all, well, then we would have added the communist revolution, Chris.
Speaker 1: That also involves the murder of like millions of people,
Speaker 1: millions of people, Chris. One two. Japan may be able
Speaker 1: to beat Russia in Korea. You're not invading Russia. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna invade Russia. They could do well, but you're
Speaker 1: you're not going to invade Russia. Half the problem Russia
Speaker 1: had during the Russo Japanese war was getting troops to
Speaker 1: the front because Russia is so big it takes forever
