We have Steve Dace coming up 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.280 second hour. He wrote an anti Fouci book and it's 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.480 number one right now on all the book sides. He's 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.600 just killing it, absolutely killing it.

Remember tomorrow is an Ask Doctor Jesse Friday. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:16.240 The weeks are heavy enough. On Fridays, we screw off 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.400 on this show. I know we have a bunch of 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.280 new listeners. Here's how it works. Before I go into 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:26.320 the story. You know that politics isn't exactly a brightened, 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.760 sunny topic right now. Obviously we beg it as fun 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.480 as we can, just because I refuse to be a 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:38.320 miserable human being. But it sucks right now. All week long, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.480 we're going to talk about taxesn't spending in culture, wars 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.240 and stuff like that. At all those things. Wait, do 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.240 you know? Look how willing am I to tackle the 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:52.359 tough issues. But on Friday the entire show, I think 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.200 I only have one guest, sometimes zero guests. On Friday 0:02:55.360 --> 0:03:01.639 the entire show, I answer listener questions either live phone 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.160 calls or voicemails or emails, and they do not have 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.480 to be political. I use my almost three years of 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.360 community college credits to pretend to be a doctor, and 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:18.720 I answer history questions and food questions, and questions about boys, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.280 and questions about girls, and travel question whatever you can imagine, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.639 idiotic doomsday scenarios, animal fights, you name it. I answer 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.280 them on Fridays, and that is tomorrow. If you haven't 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.399 yet had the pleasure tune in for that one, it's 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:40.160 gonna be a real good time. Now. World War zero, 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:47.080 that's what they called the Russo Japanese War, a war 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.640 ninety percent of the people have never even heard of before. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.760 It was a Russian versus japan war, as you may 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.920 have guessed from the name, the Russo Japanese. They frankly 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.200 did not put a lot of time into that label, 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.880 but it is what it is. This was early nineteen hundreds, 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.200 nineteen o four to be specific, but that doesn't matter. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.800 No one remembers that stuff early nineteen hundreds, and we 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.320 have to do a brief set up on each country 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:24.400 before we can possibly go into the war. Let's start 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.320 with Russia first. This is not like the Russia you 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.960 think of today. This was a Russia where a tsar 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.200 ran things and had pretty much always run things since 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.760 Russia had been unified and came into existence. And this 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.359 was the back end a few hundred years of this 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:51.600 same family running things in Russia. And to say he 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.200 wasn't doing a good job would really really be putting 0:04:55.200 --> 0:05:01.200 it mildly. In his defense. This is Tzar Nicholas the Seconds, 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.760 and he didn't ever want the job and openly said 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.680 he didn't want the job, which sounds weird because who 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.880 doesn't want to be king? But I will say this, 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.320 and it's easy for me to say because I'm not 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.680 one of the Russian people who was brutally put down 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.240 in one of his protest stompings. But he seems like 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.839 kind of a good dude, loves his family, loves his kids, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.719 loves his wife, just kind of a good dude that 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.719 had no desire to be in charge of one of 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.920 the major superpowers of the world. And he steps into 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.479 a job that one he didn't like and two wasn't 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.120 good at and it goes pretty much exactly like you think. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:49.800 This is a period of time will both struggle to comprehend. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.320 This is a period of time when the nations around 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:59.920 the globe are advancing industry wise, technology wise rapidly. It's 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.800 just one of those times in world history where where 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.279 a steamships are turning into oil ships, and this factory 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.279 is turning into this, and this is turning into that, 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.800 and this gun is oh wow, we were just using 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.280 muskets like like twenty years ago, and now someone has 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.360 a machine gun and we better buy a machine gun. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:20.520 And it's that period of time and nations, even the 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.560 big ones, but the small ones too are struggling with 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.359 the cost of this kind of advancement and how to 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:34.479 advance while also keeping your traditions. Now, that's hard for 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.680 us to understand because we've grown up in a relatively 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.640 technological age. Look, when I was a kid, there were 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.479 car phones in beepers. That was advanced technology. And I 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.640 realized we've gone way past that now, but still a 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:55.520 technological age. It was breaking Russia financially trying to keep 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.960 up with the Joneses on an industry level, and Russia 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.400 in and of itself is a strange bird. You've heard 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.520 me ask our foreign policy expert guests this several times 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.760 you'll hear me ask it again, Why is Russia? Why 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:17.280 are they ever having financial problems when they're that gigantic 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.560 of a country. Shouldn't they be drowning in natural resources? 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.200 And the answer is, well, it kind of plays into 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:29.760 our story here. No, they're not really drowning in natural resources, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.880 especially not for a country that big. And it's not 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:38.360 just it's not just how much you own, it's where 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:44.200 it is. Location. Location. Location doesn't just apply when you're 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.440 moving out of your first department and buying your first house. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:53.000 It applies to nations too. The truth is, so much 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.600 of Russia. I pull up a map. You you don't 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.480 do this very often, but pull up a map and 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.360 look at Russia. It is really far north, and it 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:06.920 is barren and icy and cold. It's not as if 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.400 it's that that big of a nation and the whole 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:14.520 thing is lush green fields and mine No no, no, no, yeah, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.200 a lot of it. It's big, but a lot of 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:21.840 it is uninhabitable, uninhabitable, it's terrible. And because of that, 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.960 Russia is extra protective of the parts of it that 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.440 are habitable, that are profitable, and they're constantly trying to 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.439 expand on that. A little bit. It's part of the 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.400 reason they're always pushing around Georgia or one of these 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.880 smaller nations next to it. It's it's not it's not 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:46.440 just an imperial dreams type thing. It's a okay, it 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.240 is a little of that, but it's also I mean, yeah, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.720 Georgia is not that big, and I mean that is 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.760 that's the kind of land we actually want. It would 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.080 be nice if we had that, which plays into our story. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.360 There was something called Port Arthur. Just think Korea. Don't 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.240 worry about it that, just think Korea. Why would Russia 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.200 want this port? Russia wanted this port because it was 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.000 one of the few and their sphere of influence that 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:19.920 wasn't iced over for half the year. Shipping is then, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.880 just as it is now, extremely important to the wealth 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.920 of a nation, goods coming in, goods going out. You 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.920 really really really need ships. You do to have a 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.240 nation that has an ocean border versus a landlocked nation 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.760 is it's drastically different how much how much you can 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.360 do economically. It's just really important for the country. And 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:50.320 we are twelve years removed from the Russian Revolution where 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.400 the communists take over the country, so that should tell 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:58.880 you how stable this regime is that people are unhappy, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.200 to put it mild. There are assassination attempts. People are 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.959 getting assassinated there. If you call them terrorist groups popping up, 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.719 those are put down brutally because let's be honest, it's 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.200 still Russia. And then more of them pop up, and 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:18.640 it's that's Russian but still one of, if not the 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:23.240 most powerful nations in the world at this time, Which 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:28.160 brings us to Japan. Oh, Japan, that's gonna be a time. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.880 All right, stay tuned, Steve Dace next hour, we'll continue 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:52.920 with this story. Hang on, miss something. There's a podcast 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.800 getting on demand wherever podcasts are founding, The Jesse Kelly Show. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:07.040 I hated, hated, hated trying to quit dipping, and it's 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.880 because I guess it was my fault. I didn't use 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.840 the right things. I didn't do the right things. I 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.760 tried to do it with nothing at first. Oh just quit, 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.640 I can do it. No, no, absolutely not. And I 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.680 tried the nicotine patch. Honestly, that did nothing for me 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.800 at all. I still wanted something in my lip. And 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:33.520 that's why Jake's mint chew works so well. It's a replacement, 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.160 a replacement you put in your lip a replacement that 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.760 can have the flavor you wanted to have. Eleven different 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.400 long cut flavors, four different flavors of the CBD pouches. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.520 But here's the thing. It's nicotine free, it's tobacco free, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.840 it's even sugar free. But it gives you that replacement 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.400 to get you off it. Get at Jake's mint Chew 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.679 dot com. That's Jake's mint Chew dot com. Used to 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:21.200 promo code Jesse at checkout twenty percent off. Somebody tried 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.840 to pass a Golden Retriever off as a lion and 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:31.839 shockingly it didn't work. Dangn is. It is the Jesse 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.280 Kelly Show. You can find me on social media at 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.920 Jesse Kelly DC on Twitter, Instagram, I'm on Facebook. You 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.640 can also find me on locals. Remember, especially with the 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.079 trouble I got in last night, I won't be banned 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400 very soon from Twitter in Instagram. You know what, Chris, 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.439 go ahead and pull that video of that father putting 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.200 his son's officer pins on him in the Marine Corps. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.839 It was a tear jerker. I think it would even 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:02.199 be it for radio. Don't worry, You'll you'll see it. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.760 You'll know what I'm talking about. Chris, just read my mind. Gosh, 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.840 you know, in hindsight, we probably shouldn't do this in 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.240 front of the million people that are listening. Maybe this 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.080 is stuff we should do during the break. But I 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.120 had to get a cup of coffee. It's fine, all right. 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.720 The Russo Japanese War, World War Zero. I already kind 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.240 of set up Russia as best I could at the time. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.880 Now let's go to one of my favorite subjects in 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:33.200 the world, Japan. I make no bones about it. I 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.360 am a fan of Japanese culture then and now. I 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.440 think it's a cool culture. I always had when I 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.240 was a kid. I used to love that Samurai stuff, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.160 but it just look I even think that. I think 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.439 the architecture is cool. And then I visited Japan and 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.840 the Marine Corps. We did some time in Okinawa and 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.560 I got to go up to Tokyo for a while, 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.520 and whatnot. What a cool place in a country that size, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.040 that modern, that many people and almost no violent crime. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.760 It's just a different place. So I'm a Japanese fan. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.240 I like the Japanese people. I think the culture is 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:13.400 really cool. There are some problems, though, some real problems, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.439 and this is an era where some of those problems 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.920 are starting to sprout up for Japanese culture. It is 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.160 the early nineteen hundreds. Long time listeners of the show 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.880 will know this basic story, but I realize we're picking 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.880 up new affiliates every day, which is unbelievable, and there 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.840 are a lot of people who've never heard this at all. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:41.440 So let's discuss Japan briefly. Mid eighteen hundreds, we discover Japan. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.160 That's not what I mean. We knew Japan was there, 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:48.600 but we pop into Japan and we see a people 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.880 that look like it looks like we have traveled back 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.800 in time. When we land on the Japanese shores. We 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:02.320 are talking technologically the least advanced quote modern society out there. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.360 They just for a few hundred years, Japan, I mean, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.440 Japan's insular now and they're practically open compared to what 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.280 they were back then. For a few hundred years, Japan 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.360 just was like, you know, we don't need anybody here. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.680 Now there was some trade. The people act like there 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.160 wasn't any but we don't really need any foreigners here. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.400 Oh we're not gonna leave, but you're not gonna come 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.840 and We're not really interested in anything you're doing. We 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.440 have our way of the samurai stuff, we have our 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.640 showgun stuff, we have the Emperor, we have things we 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:38.320 like and we don't really care about anyone else. And 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.320 we pop in their shores and other people do too 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.520 and see a people that they still all have swords. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.960 And this is obviously the era of firearms. And part 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.560 of the reason I admire Japan so much is they 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.880 could have done when they got popped in on and 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.280 discovered how backwards they were because they didn't know, they 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.360 could have done what so many traditional proud people do. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.120 And just so I'm not changing, and nothing wrong with 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.880 my sword. Don't talk to me about these guns. What 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.120 can a gun do that a sword, kid, And don't 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.560 laugh at that that's happened, that's killed people out there 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:22.440 before militarily Japan looked around and said, you know, all 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.600 these white powers, and we're gonna talk a lot about 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.120 race today, as we always do. And I need to 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:32.920 clarify something here. I realize that it can be offensive 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.240 to people when I say things like Jewish producer Chris, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:41.440 when I talk about black people, Asian people, white people, Mexicans, Guatemalans, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.440 when I talk about the differences in religions, I understand 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.800 that can be really, really offensive to people. So I 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.360 need to clarify something right now. I don't care if 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.600 you're offended at all. I can't possibly explain to you 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.200 how little that means to me. You need to buck up, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.760 get a thicker skin. We enjoy talking about these things, 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.639 and we only move forward as a society by talking 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.560 about these things and joking about these things. That's how 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.480 I came up, and I ain't changing for anybody. Clear. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:21.200 Now back to the story. Japan saw the white powers 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.720 of the world of France, Britain. They saw them bouncing around, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.400 I mean, honestly America to a lesser extent. They saw 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:33.120 them bouncing around and colonizing everything, taking over everything. In Japan, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.200 proud as they were, didn't want to be colonized. They 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.200 wanted to stay Japan. And the only way you're going 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.560 to avoid that. This is a lesson for everybody in history. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.320 It's a lesson for us now. The only way to 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:52.000 avoid being colonized is to become strong enough economically and 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.679 militarily that you cannot be taken by force. The world 0:17:55.720 --> 0:18:00.000 has not changed the history of the world is less 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:06.359 technologically advanced people, weaker economic people being taken over and 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.000 dominated by stronger economies. It is the history of the 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:14.080 world and it will happen again period again. Well, we shouldn't. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.720 We shouldn't have done that to the Native Americans. What 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.560 happened to the Native Americans in America is the same 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.399 thing that happened to every single tribal people across the 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.000 globe when they encountered a more technologically advanced society. They 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.720 weren't strong enough to avoid getting crushed. And you know, 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.880 I'm the biggest Indian fan in the world, but that's 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.320 just a fact that happened all over Africa. It happened 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.560 all over Europe. That's what Caesar did to the gulls. Anyway, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.720 Japan decides that's not going to be us. They go 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.360 into something that is called the Meiji Restoration, and there 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.080 were I don't want to act like all of Japan 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.000 was on board with advancing technologically. They actually had to 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.359 fight a civil war. I'm straight out of that movie 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.879 The Last The Last Samurai. You know what, I should 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.879 do something on the civil war one time where the 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.679 old school like samurai types with the swords gathered up 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.040 and fought the guys who wanted to advance with guns 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.240 and muskets and stuff like that. And you know, bravery 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.399 only takes you so far when you're getting shot in 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.280 the face. The samurai got killed, they died. But Japan 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:21.760 goes through a rapid economic and military advancement and they 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.720 do this in the smartest ways. Again, it's so it's 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.040 so impressive for a nation to do this, to just change. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.080 They go all around the world, they find who does 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.920 everything the best. They send advisors there, They take advisors 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.560 from them, they buy things from them. Oh, who's really 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.639 good at mining? Oh? These and I'm totally making this 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.680 country up. So don't don't take this by heart. Oh, 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.359 Russia is really good at mighty. Let's sense the advisors 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.639 to Russia. Let's let's find out how they mind, so 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.439 we can mind really well. And then we'll tell Russia 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.960 will buy some of their stuff to make it advantageous 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.359 for them, and then Russia likes it. It becomes a partnership. 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.840 They sense stuff back. That's how it worked. They did it, 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.520 and this is going to come into play in our 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.320 story here. They did it with Britain. When it came 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.840 to a navy. If you want to build a navy, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.480 especially at this time, there's only one top dog in 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.680 the world, and it was the Royal Navy. Japan goes 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.120 to Britain. Those are some sweet ships. We would love 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.600 to buy some of those from you, so that'd be 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.320 good for your economy. We would also love to send 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.280 some guys here do some cross training. Would you mind 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.840 teaching us how to sail? But they weren't sailing, But 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.119 would you mind teaching us how to run a navy? 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.359 We'll buy some stuff, so on and so forth. And 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.399 this was a partnership at the time Britain in Japan. Now, 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:43.119 when I say partnership, you need to know there was 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:47.760 all kinds of racial animosity back then, just as there 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.000 is now. It's just everyone was allowed to be more 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.600 open about it. The Japanese people were terribly racist. The 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:56.680 British people were terribly racist. The Russians were terribly racist. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.920 The Russians at one point in time, In fact, it's 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.760 going to come into play and our story referred to 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:05.879 the Japanese people. It's monkeys. The Japanese people were racist 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.000 against Chinese people. There are racist again? What everyone was racist? 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.600 Okay again, everybody holds some prejudice, and it really it 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.640 causes wars. It causes huge mistakes back then because you're 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.760 not looking at things that actually matter. It's just the 0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.359 way it goes. All right, we're not finished. We're gonna 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.120 get to the Russo Japanese War. And oh good, our 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:51.080 Olympic athletes can kneel for the anthem sweet hang on hi. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.680 We're the Google dolls. We're fortunate that we can give 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.199 our daughters everything they need to grow and learn. But 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.880 not every child can focus on classes and play dates. 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.840 Nearly ten million kids in the US face hunger. That's 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.000 one in six. School lunch might be their only meal 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.160 each day, and it's heartbreaking to imagine any child going 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.120 to bed hungry. We're dreaming but perfect day when kids 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.040 can smile, play and just be kids without worrying about 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.960 where their next meal will come from. Feeding America is 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:21.960 working to make that perfect day reality. Each year, the 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.240 Feeding America network of food banks rescues billions of pounds 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.399 of good food that would have gone to waste. That 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.360 food is given to families and children and me. Being 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:32.320 a kid should be about doing things that make an 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:36.840 ordinary day extraordinary. Learning to play an instrument, building a sandcastle, 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.240 hosting tea parties. Hunger should never be an obstacle to 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:42.800 growing up. You can help bend child and hunger in 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.600 your community by visiting Feeding America dot org, brought to 0:22:46.680 --> 0:23:05.200 you by Feeding America and the AD Council. So I 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.760 became the algebra on Monday. I haven't had it yet, 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:09.760 but I am. I am planning on doing it this week. 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.040 I'm not sure we're gonna do it on camera. I 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:13.880 mean we'll say, if you guys want a gun show, 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:20.040 maybe we could do it, but probably better. That's heavy. 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:24.880 D Gosh, that kills me. The dude's pretty good, man, 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.920 The dude is pretty good. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.920 Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three. 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:37.040 We are We are opening on the Russo Japanese War, 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:40.400 World War zero, as it's known here, before we get 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.680 to all the other disastrous news, Chris, did you see 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:49.919 this John Durham issuing subpoenas and interviewing witnesses. I forgot 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:54.040 the guy was still alive. This is no joke. I'm 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:56.639 not even kidding. I'm not making this up. I do 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.159 this for a living. It's three of three hours of 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.600 radio a day, in an hour TV every day. I 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.360 legitimately thought John Durham existed, or I forgot he existed. 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:09.400 For about a two or three month stretch. There Bill Barr? 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:14.960 Who's at Who's Bill Barr? Did he hold some position 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.640 of significance? I don't know whoever he is. He never 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.719 did anything, not that i'd know anything about that. Oh 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.119 that was the guy who gave I know who that is. 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:26.199 That was the guy who gave snappy little speeches in 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:30.320 front of the congressional committees. Oh, okay, he wouldn't. He wouldn't. 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:32.760 He wouldn't an attorney general or anything. Right if he did, 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:38.840 If he was, I didn't see it all right. Japan 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:44.320 is on the rise technologically, militarily, and because they're on 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:49.760 the rise, we start to look around and decide, well, 0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.280 I mean, okay, we've grown enough that we were not 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:57.119 going to be colonized. Then, even if they can't take Britain, 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:59.760 which they probably couldn't at this point in time, Britain's 0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:01.760 not gonna look at Japan and think, oh, let's go 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:06.440 push them around and take their stuff. But power is 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:12.480 a funny thing. Power is rarely something that remains dormant 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:18.920 when you when you acquire a skill set, you want 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.760 to use said skill set. It's just it's the way 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:27.520 it goes. You ever known a super fitness dude or 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.639 a super fitness woman. I'm sure you do. Somebody who's 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:36.639 just really into fitness. Do they wear a lot of clothing? No, 0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:40.000 they don't. They don't. It's not that they're it's not 0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:42.800 that they're half naked at all times because they're you know, 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:45.320 I don't know, trampy or something like that. They maybe, 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:49.040 I don't know, but it's something they've worked hard for. 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:53.720 They look good without clothes on, so they don't wear clothes. 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:56.640 At least they wear the bare minimum period. You see 0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.400 the dude, Oh sorry, it did the sleeves fall off 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.480 my shirt? My bad? Hang on, look at my calves 0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.200 and the same thing with the with the dimes too, 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.639 and look, hey, nobody's complaining, but oh wow, look yoga 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.240 pants in a tank top. Shocking. It's just oh those 0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:17.240 shorts aren't Those shorts are practically underwear. Apparently she does squats. 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:21.720 That's it's human nature. When you have a skill set 0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:24.639 you've acquired, you want to use it. Japan looks around 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.639 and says to itself, Wow, we got modern, real fast. 0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:33.719 We're doing real well here. M Korea doesn't look like 0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:37.280
