1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that the holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. I want 20 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: you to imagine something. I want you to imagine hearing 21 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: a cannon go off, knowing that cannon was aimed at you. 22 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: It's loud. You know what comes after it. You do 23 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: that thing where you kind of cringe and put your 24 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: head down a little like you do in a parking garage. 25 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: But it seems like it's about to hit the roof 26 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: of your car, so you do the weird thing where 27 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: you duck your head inside your car. You know what 28 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. That's what artillery cannon fire will force 29 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: you to do. And you're just waiting now for the 30 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: cannonball to hit. Instead of the cannonball hitting you, hear 31 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: a thud right beside you. You look over and it's 32 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: your friend's head the cannonball shot at you. That is 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: not something I made up. That's not something from Hollywood. 34 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: That's something a real human being has experienced before. Think 35 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: about that. Let us begin with one of the more 36 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: famous sieges of all time, and shockingly one that is 37 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: actually not taught much I've found in American schools, the 38 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: Siege of Malta. The Siege of Malta, well, I guess 39 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: we should call it the Great Siege of Malta because 40 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: it's happened before this, it happened again after this. I'm 41 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: almost positive there was even a siege of Malta. In 42 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: World War Two. I believe we're not talking about those. 43 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: We're talking about the one that took place in the 44 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: year fifteen sixty five. It took place because the Knights 45 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: of Saint John, who were running Malta. We're having some 46 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: problems with the Ottoman Empire. Now, why isn't it taught 47 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: that much in schools here? There are a lot of reasons, 48 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: but the Ottoman Empire is a big one. Now, I'm 49 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: not going to do this thing where we pretend as 50 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: if Americans are a bunch of bigots. We're not, certainly 51 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: not any worse than most of the countries on Earth. 52 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: In fact, a lot better. But the Ottoman Empire is 53 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: simply not talked about much in school. Now. Granted I 54 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: just went to a crappy public school, a government school, 55 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: but remember I've always loved history. I'm a history freak. 56 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: I did soak it up as much as possible. I 57 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: think we spent like half a day on the Ottoman 58 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Empire at one time. It's just not something we talk 59 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: about in the Ottoman Empire. I mean, it's it's the 60 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Persian Empire. After the Persians. The Ottoman Empire was big 61 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: time man, big time. The most powerful empire on Earth. 62 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: And I think I think this is a Muslim thing. 63 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: I think that's why government schools don't teach it that much. 64 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a Muslim thing. And again I don't 65 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: think we're bigot it. We're just not a Muslim country. 66 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: I know we have several Muslims here, but America is 67 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: not a Muslim country. America is a Christian country, and Muslims, 68 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: Islam and Christianity have been at odds well since forever. 69 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: Islam and Judaism have been at odds since forever. It's 70 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: just one of those historic rivalries, things that existed long 71 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: before the United States of America ever came to be, 72 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: and will exist long after we're gone. It's there, and 73 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: I think there's something that something to it. But just know, 74 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: as you've heard before, I've done shows on the Ottoman Empire, 75 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: various parts of it, battles, sieges, I will do various others. 76 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: I find it to be really, really fascinating. The religious 77 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: aspect of it is very fascinating. And because you know, 78 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: I don't care about hurting anyone's feelings, we just dive 79 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: right into that here. One thing you do need to 80 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: know pre Siege of Malta is the fall of Constantinople, 81 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: which we've brought up before on the show, and it 82 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: is everything for you to understand what a big deal 83 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: that was. Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire 84 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was 85 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: in the minds of many Christians in Europe it was 86 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: the capital of Christianity, is what it was. This is 87 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: an era where the thinking about religions and locations and 88 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: armies and battles and power was different than our American 89 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: way of thinking about it. These people constantly thought they 90 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: were fighting for the Holy Land physically, they thought it 91 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: was their duty to do so. God wants me to 92 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: have this city. And the Muslims thought the same thing. 93 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: God wants my God wants me to have this city. Well, 94 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: let's fight it out. And when you won, no matter 95 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: what you did tactically or otherwise, especially in this era, 96 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: you won and you thought that's because God blessed me, 97 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: and you lost because you're a scumbag sinner. And it 98 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: was the same for the Muslims. Allah wants us to 99 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: have this city. He doesn't want you to have the city. 100 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Oh I lost I must have committed a great sin 101 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: or something. They viewed everything that took place as a 102 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: spiritual battle big time. Now, let's not make it too lofty. 103 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: And the eyes of the Muslims, of the eyes of 104 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the Christians. There was still a ton of greed involved 105 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: in basic things like shipping, lanes, trade, you know how 106 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: it goes. And oftentimes it's not as if this only 107 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: happens today. Oftentimes you can cloak that in religion. Oh 108 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: we are Christians. I can't believe those dirty Muslims took Constantinople. 109 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: We need to take that back for Jesus and the training. 110 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: The trading is nice too, doesn't hurt, And the Muslims 111 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: are doing the same thing. All really wants us to 112 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: have this. And look, if there's some wealth that comes 113 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: with it, that's fine, not that I care. It's about 114 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: all our It's really about all human nature. You and 115 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: I do it too, don't we. But the fall of 116 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: Constantinople in fourteen fifty three is not a small thing, 117 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: not only or wealth reasons in the eyes of Christians. 118 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: In the minds of Christians, they feel like a evil, 119 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: demonic force is about to finish off not Europe it's 120 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: about to finish off Christianity period. These Ottomans rose and 121 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: rose quickly. They are intelligent, They are technologically advanced big time. 122 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: The Ottoman siege weapons and knowledge of cannon fight. It 123 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: was just they were really really good at this stuff. 124 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: They had excellent scientists, excellent engineers. They almost seemed like 125 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: they almost seemed like Rome, way after Rome, and that 126 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: they would just outthink you with certain things, huge libraries, 127 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: and it should be noted. And this is a weird 128 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: thing to talk about, but we talk about everything, don't 129 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: we very clean people. You see, this is an era 130 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: where bathing wasn't always a huge priority, and oftentimes in 131 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: Christian Europe it just wasn't prioritized at all. But Islam 132 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: has very strict or at least they practiced very strict 133 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: bathing rules and cleanliness rules. That doesn't sound like anything. 134 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: It sounds like everything. When one third of your city's 135 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: dying from disease and one third of theirs isn't a 136 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: big deal. Oh God, on a himalithide on me. Jesse Kelly, 137 00:10:53,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. Uncertainty. You know 138 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: what's out there everywhere, don't you? By do two. You 139 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: all remember what happened with that little stock market, what 140 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: do we want to call it? A blip a few 141 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: months ago when we all woked up and looked at 142 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: our four oh one ks and our jaws dropped. That 143 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: was a small one. You know, there's a big one coming, 144 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: because there's always another big one coming. It's inevitable. At 145 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: some point in time, it will come. Now. You see 146 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: what we're doing lately printing money. You're hearing these rumors 147 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: already about inflation, that ugly eye word interest rates possibly 148 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: going out. You know, it's not the end of the world. 149 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: It does mean, though, you have got to diversify. Now, 150 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: get a gold Ira from gold Alliance. Go to gold 151 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: Alliance dot com slash jesse. That's gold Alliance dot com 152 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: slash jesse. You worked hard for that money. Keep on. 153 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: Stantinople falls. Europe thinks Christianity is under attack, and honestly 154 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: it kind of woes. We're not going to discount that. 155 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: Islam and Christianity we're at odds, are at odds. We're 156 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: very much at odds at this point in time. Who's 157 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: going to be running things around here? And remember how 158 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: small the world was back then. We're talking Columbus just 159 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: now discovering the new world. So the civilized world is 160 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: relatively small. The Ottomans want it all, the Christians want 161 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: it all. Toots are winning this and the Christians now 162 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: they feel like the end is near. You've seen the 163 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: guy on the sidewalk. The end is near? What the sign? 164 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: That's an ominous feeling that is prevalent at this time 165 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: because the Christian armies are simply not able to withstand 166 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: Ottoman armies. Yet they're not, which brings us down to Malta. Now, 167 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't need you to look it up, although you can, 168 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, I always tell you a visual helps a lot. 169 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: But you know where Italy is. Obviously everybody can see Italy, 170 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: and everybody knows about the island of Sicily off the 171 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: toe of the Italian boot. Just east of the Italian boot, 172 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: there's that big island of Sicily. Now just south of Sicily, 173 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: you can actually see Malta from Sicily and vice versa. 174 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: There's a tiny, tiny, tiny island that is its own 175 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: nation today called Malta. It looks if you do an 176 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: image search of it, it looks gorgeous. It looks like 177 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: the Caribbean blue waters, cool looking buildings. It's very very small, Chris, 178 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: I want to say this may be way wrong. I 179 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: want to say it's only about twenty miles across. I think. 180 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's very very small. It seems about right. 181 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: It looks beautiful today, but it would have been a 182 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: consul it would have been considered pretty desolate back then. 183 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: You'll see how beautiful it looks, and oh the water 184 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: looks nice. But it doesn't look like there's a lot 185 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: of trees and stuff there. It just looks desolate. But 186 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: picture this when you're looking at it, or picturing where 187 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: that island is. Do you think that might be an 188 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: important location for shipping in trade. It's very very important 189 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: for shipping and trade. There are some nights there, Like 190 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: I said, the Knights of Saint John, they're there. They're 191 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: running the show in Malta. And let's not pretend as 192 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: if the Christians at this point in time were just, 193 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, piously eating unleavened bread in the church as 194 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: they prayed to Jesus while the while the violent, evil 195 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Muslim hordes were pouring over Europe. This was an era 196 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: of raiding and pillaging. The knights in Malta well, they 197 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: weren't online businessmen. They spent their time raiding Islamic villages 198 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: in shipping. That's what they did for a living, stealing 199 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: things and kidnapping people, kidnapping people for ransom. That's how 200 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: they made their living. This was lucrative for a long time. 201 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: You and I have a hard time wrapping our minds 202 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: around that being accepted, but remember that was accepted for 203 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: a very long time. Remember when we talked about the 204 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: American colonies, really before they were colonies, how they would 205 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: send American pilots or pirates, I mean American pilots pirates 206 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: over the Islamic world and steal from Muslims and then 207 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: bring all those goods back to America and we're celebrated, 208 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: not treated as criminals. Celebrated. Yeah, screw those dirty Muslims. 209 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for the stuff. A way of life, a way 210 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: of life for the Muslims, a way of life for 211 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: the Christians. But there is a real danger there. You see, 212 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: you're always going to accept in that time, you're going 213 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to accept a certain amount of loss from piracy and 214 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: stealing and rating because like I said, it's accepted, it's 215 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: the way of life, except sometimes it can get personal. 216 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: That's the real danger in stealing things right and kidnapping things. 217 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: What if you steal the wrong thing from the wrong guy, 218 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: or kidnap the wrong person from the wrong guy. The 219 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: Ottoman Empire at this time is led by a man 220 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: named Suleiman the Magnificent. They didn't call him that because 221 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 1: he was a shrinking violet. Suleiman the Magnificent was big time, 222 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: presiding over a very very powerful empire by now unquestionably 223 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: the most powerful empire in the world by the year 224 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: fifteen sixty five. Owning Constantinople will help you do that. 225 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: By the way, it's such an important shipping lane that 226 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: you're going to become fabulously wealthy off of it. The nights, 227 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: while they're kidnapping and stealing, they end up kidnapping a nurse, 228 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: which in general not be the end of the world, 229 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: except she's an Ottoman nurse. Okay, still not the end 230 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: of the world. Except it turns out she's the nurse 231 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: to the daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, a daughter he 232 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: loved very very very much, And this lady was more 233 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: than a nurse. She was essentially the daughter's mother grandmother. 234 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: Now he's upset. Now he's looking at you, Malta, and 235 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: now he's coming. You've got about six thousand fighting men 236 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: in Malta. Suleiman begins to build up troops, ends up 237 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: building up about forty thousand of these troops. And see, 238 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: we forget what it's like to live in an era 239 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: where you don't have a ton of intelligence lots of 240 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: the time, and I'm talking about, you know, spying intel. 241 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: You just don't have a lot of it, and even 242 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: when you have it, it's difficult to get it to 243 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: and fro. Communications much slower, completely different mindset. So everybody 244 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: is looking at this Muslim empire, the Ottomans building up 245 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: clearly an army to invade somewhere, and everybody's worried that 246 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: it's coming to them. It's not as if you're putting 247 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: out signs of when you're the Ottomans, Oh no, no, 248 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: we're going to Malta. You're watching the build up with 249 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: your spies, and you don't know where they're going. However, 250 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: de Vallette or Lavalette, he's the man in charge of 251 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: Malta at this time the night. He suspects their coming 252 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: his way, so he begins to do the very very 253 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: smart thing he sends the civilians away and begins to 254 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: lay in supplies, food, everything you need to fire off 255 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: your cannons, rocks, stuff to make pitch, burning oil, anything 256 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: flammable he can get his hands on. He's stocking up 257 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: because he only has six thousand fighting men and there 258 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: are forty thousand coming his way. By the way, it's 259 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: a quick side note. There were about twenty five thousand 260 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: regular Ottoman troops and the rest of them were essentially pirates, 261 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: so they actually don't know an exact number of how 262 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: many they were. The Ottomans would use pirates on the 263 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: high seas. He thinks they're coming and low and behold 264 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: they are. Now I need to describe for you what 265 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: the major port looks like. It's called Valetta to this day. 266 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: If you'd like to have a great idea what I'm 267 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: talking about again, and you're in a safe place in 268 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: your car or at a computer or something, you can 269 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: pull up Valetta, Malta. Now on the northeastern part of Malta, 270 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: there's a gigantic harbor. So in your mind need to 271 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: do this. You need to draw a V in your mind. 272 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: You have that V. Now you need to take the 273 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: bottom point of that V and draw a straight line 274 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: up from it. All right, So now you have a 275 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: V with an extra line in the middle. You got it. Now, 276 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: just turn it, rotate it clockwise just a little so 277 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: it's all facing northeast. That's what we're dealing with now. 278 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: I home titlelock dot com can save you. Well, honestly, 279 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna say money, and it can. I mean, 280 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: if you catch the home title theft in time, there's 281 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: a chance you can spend tens of thousands of dollars 282 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: on legal fees and stop it. There's a chance at that. 283 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: So I guess I was just gonna say money. But 284 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: the truth is this, hometitlelock dot com can save you 285 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: from getting evicted.

I know it's got weird whatever. You 294 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: gotta explain things to you. Now, they land their forty 295 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: thousand troops on Malta and they are coming, but they 296 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: don't land in that main harbor you've probably undoubtedly already 297 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 1: looked up by now. They land at another safer place 298 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 1: because there's a little fort they want to take first. 299 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: I know you're all going to have the song stuck 300 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: in your head when I tell you the name. But 301 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: the fort is called Saint Elmo. Yes, I know, go ahead, 302 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: sing the chorus briefly first and get it out of 303 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: the way, because you're doing the same thing I did 304 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: as soon as I figured it out, saying Elmo. It's 305 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: only got about six hundred dudes in it, It shouldn't 306 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: be difficult for the Ottomans to take it at all. 307 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: Their plan is to take it in four days, but 308 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: it's one of those ones that's very much in the 309 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: way and they want to get it out of the 310 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: way quickly. Except these people aren't dying and they aren't 311 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: going away, and sieges are all about preparation. The truth is, 312 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: the guys on Malta were tough fighters. They sent away 313 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: the women and children, which is always essential. Part of 314 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: the reason sieges fall is you have people who can't 315 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: fight using up your supplies of water and food. You 316 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: can't deal with that. Plus you're worried about them. Once 317 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: they're all gone and it's just the fighting men, you're 318 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. Well, you'll be a lot better 319 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: off than you were. And these guys are fortified, they're ready, 320 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: they're prepared. They managed to keep a supply line open 321 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: between the main fortifications and the tiny little Saint Omo 322 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: for it. So remember I said it was supposed to 323 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: take four days. Yeah, we're on like day twenty eight 324 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: and they still can't get into this thing. Finally, the 325 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: Ottomans managed to cut off the supply from the main 326 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: fortifications to this fort, so they know it's going to fall. 327 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: But these Nights are just fighting like lions. They're using 328 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: a fifteen hundreds version of a flame thrower, they're pouring 329 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: hot oil on the Ottomans. It's just turning into this 330 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: absolute nightmare. And the problem for the Ottomans is not 331 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: only they haven't taken this fort yet. Remember what a 332 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: siege generally comes down to time. You only have so 333 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: much time if you're if you're under siege, you only 334 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: have so much time. If you're sieging someone else, you 335 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: only have so much time because you only have so 336 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: many supplies. And depending on where you are, the weather 337 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: is a change in and Malta. Once it starts to 338 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: be August ish September ish, we're talking storms, problems. You're 339 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: going to have an issue. And this is Remember I 340 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: said the island was fairly desolate. You're the Ottomans, you're 341 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: very wealthy. You're fine. You landed with forty thousand troops, 342 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: but it's still in island and you have to feed 343 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: forty thousand men three meals a day, plus cannonballs, plus powder, 344 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: plus salt. And you see in the issue. Now you've 345 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: got a time crunch too. You don't have twenty eight 346 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: days to take the tiny ford beforehand, and these guys 347 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: simply won't die. Then these guys at the Saint elmo 348 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: Ford come up with one of the cooler siege things 349 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. They come up with 350 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: a firehop. This is after they've been cut off, a 351 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: fire tire, a fire hoop. I've heard it called a 352 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: fire roll. The first thing I read called it a 353 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: fire roll. They took the metal strap that goes around 354 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: a barrel. You can see an old wooden barrel in 355 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: your mind, right, and you know there's a metal strapped 356 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: around the top and the bottom of it. You see it. 357 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: They would take off the metal strap, wrap it in 358 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: a rope, soak the rope inflammable liquid, let it dry, 359 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: then do that time and time and time and time 360 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: again into it's super thick. They then would light this 361 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: tire I'm gonna call it a fire tire on fire 362 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: and roll it down the walls of the fortifications and 363 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: it would roll through the lines and you couldn't put 364 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: the thing out because it's so flammable, and it would 365 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: just tear through these Ottoman troops who wore way too 366 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: much clothing because that was simply their style, and all 367 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: their stuff would catch on fire. The Ottomans finally take 368 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: Saint Elmo. Oh my gosh, I just made an accidental 369 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: reference to Saint Elmo's fire, Chris, I did full circle. 370 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: They finally take Saint Elmo, and the Muslims are upset. 371 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: The Ottomans are very upset at this point in time, 372 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: more upset with themselves than anything else. But you know 373 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: how that usually goes when you finally take something how 374 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: many sieges that we talked about, and you're angry. So 375 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: they decide they're going to take all the men they've killed. 376 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: They're remember this is a religious conflict in their mind too. 377 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: They cut off their heads, which was an extreme affront 378 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: to the Christians at that time. Maybe it still is 379 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: at this time. I'm just not one of those people 380 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: who cares what happens to my body once I'm dead, 381 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: but at this time that was very important. They cut 382 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: off their heads and they strapped them to crosses even 383 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: though they were dead, and threw them in the water, 384 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: and the water carried them over to the main fortification. 385 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: The Christians are furious, as you can imagine. Now in 386 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: the minds of the Christians, not only are the Muslim 387 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: hordes coming to destroy Jesus and Christianity, now you're flat 388 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: out mocking our religion while you did it. So the 389 00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Maltese they took all their prisoners and kidnapped God executed 390 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: all of them, and remember the beginning of the show, 391 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: cut off their heads, loaded their heads in the cannons, 392 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: and fired their heads into the Ottoman lines. Obviously extremely 393 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: insulting to every side. And you do this if you're 394 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: the guys on Malta for a couple of reasons. One 395 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: little petty revenge feels good now and then doesn't it too. 396 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: When you do that, you're letting all your guys know, 397 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: just the heads up, there's no surrender now. Now we've 398 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: personally offended them. It's win or die. You've seen this 399 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: in sieges before. Now. Remember, sometimes it works out, sometimes 400 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't. Remember the Fall of Carthage. We talked about 401 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: this a long time ago during the Third Punic War, 402 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: when Rome was trying to wipe out Carthage completely and 403 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: Carthage their general. I believe it was Hamilcar. I may 404 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: have that wrong. This is after the age of Hannibal. 405 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: I believe it was Hamilcar. Forget his name, but he 406 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: hauled some of the Roman prisoners up on top of 407 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: the walls of Carthage and tortured them in front of 408 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: the Roman army for his own city's sake, just to 409 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: let them all know there's no escape. Win or die 410 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: didn't work out very well for Carthage because when the 411 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: Romans came in, they killed everybody and actually salted the 412 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: earth behind them. So again you gotta be careful how 413 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: often you're gonna pull out that card. But they pull 414 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: out that card here. Now we have fire hoops, we 415 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: have cannons shooting heads, and it's getting ugly. And now 416 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: there's one of the cooler war stories I've ever heard, 417 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: as far as many stories of a siege. They got 418 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: to make a movie out of this. Hang up. I 419 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: despise unexpected car bills, unexpected car repair bills. I hate them. 420 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: I hate them. And you know what's terrible about it? 421 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: And this has just looked it's a fact of life. 422 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: I've got to get used to it. You almost can't 423 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: avoid them because they only make two kinds of cars, 424 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: ones that have had problems and ones that will. I 425 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: don't care how nice a car you get, brand new, certified, 426 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's going to have a problem eventually. 427 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: In car problems cost a fortune. So get a car 428 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: shield plan now and save yourself a whole lot of money. 429 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: There's a reason there America's number one auto protection company. 430 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: They can save you tons of cash when the inevitable 431 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: happens with your vehicle. You choose the mechanic, you choose 432 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: the dealership. It's all on you. You got a carshield 433 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: dot com. That's Carshield dot com. And here's the best part. 434 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: When you do that, if you use to promo code Jesse, 435 00:33:35,080 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: save ten percent the Jesse Kelly Show. One of the 436 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: cooler things I've heard about is just the image of 437 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: what we're about to talk about. You know, they took 438 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: Saint Elmo, the Ottomans did. Now they're shipping some things 439 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 1: across in order to go attack the main fortifications. Well, 440 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: the nights know they're coming, so they take these gigantic 441 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: wooden steaks out into the water and they drive them 442 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: into the ocean bed and then chain them together to 443 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: prevent the ships from getting too close to the shore. 444 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: Remember this, and I remember this at this time. There 445 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: are tiny, little logistical things that can change everything. Many many, 446 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: many people in this era could not swim. That's a 447 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 1: big deal. Now, if you're on an eye island, a 448 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: smaller island like Malta, chances are probably real good you 449 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: can swim. You would have grown up in or around 450 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: the water, and that's just a basic survival thing. So 451 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: I don't want to sit there and neck like no 452 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: one could swim, that's not true. But the chances are 453 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: you could or couldn't. It's a good chance, and we 454 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: know for effect many of the Ottomans couldn't, because at 455 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: one point during this battle they had nine ships sunk 456 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: and lost a thousand troops who didn't get to fire 457 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: a shop. They just went down and couldn't swim dead. 458 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: So a tiny thing would be keep the ship out 459 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: in the water. They chained together these steaks. The Ottomans 460 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: see this, They're not blind, so they send men into 461 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: the water with axes to go chop down the stakes. 462 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: The Knights see this. They they have men stripped down 463 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: naked except for their helmets and a knife which they 464 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: kept between their teeth while they swam, and the naked Christians, 465 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 1: with only a knife and a helmet, swam out into 466 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: the water and had a knife axe fight in the 467 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: ocean with the Ottomans. Tell me, that's not the coolest 468 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: thing you've ever seen in your life. They needed. That 469 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: has to be in a movie. You'd probably have to 470 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: blur out some parts, obviously, but that would be awesome. 471 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: Here's something else cool. In Malta. They honor those knights 472 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: to this day who went out and did it, and 473 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 1: they were successful. I shouldn't I should know that's friggin sweet. Now, 474 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: during all this time, all this fighting, the incredible bravery 475 00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: and resolve of the Knights, Europe is water. I understand 476 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: that Europe, while they're always fighting each other, remember they 477 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: were very, very worried about the Ottomans. So they start 478 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: gathering up reinforcements. The Ottomans are now fighting time because 479 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: of the weather, because of the supplies. They're fighting troop 480 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: losses because the forty thousand troops ain't forty thousand troops anymore. 481 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 1: And now the Europeans they're coming up with some extra 482 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: troops for you, especially the Spaniards and the Italians. They're 483 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: putting together a nice relief force. Things are looking worse 484 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: and worse for the Ottomans, and there's just some blind luck. 485 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes the Ottomans, trying to get under the fortifications start 486 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: digging tunnels. It's not like they invented this. Tunneling under 487 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: fortifications was the norm back then. I think about this often, 488 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: how scary and creepy and exciting that must have been 489 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: to be digging a tunnel underneath. But remember, you don't 490 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: have lasers, you're not shooting an asthmuth. Back then, you're 491 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: kind of just dead reckoning where you're at. We're pointing 492 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: this direction, I think where this deep? I think when 493 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: you're digging a tunnel, you don't know how deep you are. 494 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: So how you tell, or how you try to tell, 495 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: is you stick a steak up up, not down. Remember 496 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: and see how much ground you have above you. It's 497 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: important that you don't stick your steak out all the way, though, 498 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: because then the other side might see it low and behold, 499 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: dumb bad luck. The Ottomans tunneling stuck their steak up 500 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: too far. The Knights see it and now know there's 501 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: a tunnel, and they know where it's coming from. So 502 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 1: get this. Tell me this wouldn't be sweet. The Knights 503 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: now start to dig a counter tunnel, heading directly into 504 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: the Ottoman tunnel. They run into each other on purpose, 505 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: and they have a flamethrower war in a tunnel underneath 506 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: the walls. It's so cool. That's so cool. I don't 507 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: care who you are. That's freaky cool. Now, probably not 508 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: fun if you're one of the actual guys on the ground. 509 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't think a flamethrower war would be very fun 510 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: in any environment. Plus, think about the quality of the flamethrower. 511 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: A flamethrower is dangerous now, because, let's be honest, you're 512 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: walking around with a vat of flammable jelly on your back. 513 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to burn. Fire doesn't just scare you, it 514 00:39:52,760 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: scares everybody because burning hurts. Hang on. One in three 515 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: adults has pre diabetes. One in three. That means it 516 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: could be you, your football buddy, your fruitball buddy, or 517 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: you your best man, your worst man, you your dogwalker, 518 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,879 Speaker 1: your cat jugger. While one in three adults has pre diabetes. 519 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: With early diagnosis, pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the 520 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: risk test at do I have pre diabetes dot org? 521 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: That's do I have pre diabetes? Dot org? Wait did 522 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: they just say one in three adults has pre diabetes. 523 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: That's thirty three point three percent of adults. That means 524 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: it could be me my boss or my boss's boss, 525 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: or me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's 526 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: seven members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait, 527 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol, 528 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm gonna take the risk 529 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: test that do I have pre diabetes? Dot org? Brought 530 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: to you by the AD Council and it's pre Diabetes 531 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: Awareness Partners. I don't know what school or Chris the 532 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: naked knife fight in the ocean or the tunnel flamethrower war. 533 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: Either way, that's really cool. Just the counter or tunnel 534 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: thing is really cool. Sieges are so sweet and horrifying. 535 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're sweet because I'm not there, don't get 536 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: me wrong. Either way. The Spanish the Italians come up 537 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: with a ten thousand man relief force. They land said 538 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: relief force on the northern shore. The Ottomans now are starving. 539 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: They take ten thousand men, which are about all they 540 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: have left, and marsh them up there and they get 541 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: the living crap kicked out of them. And that, ladies 542 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, is the Siege of Malta, celebrated to this day. 543 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: Is a gigantic victory and a real turning of the 544 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: tide moment that stopped the Ottoman slash Muslim advance throughout Europe. Now, 545 00:42:45,560 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, hang on the Jesse Kelly Show. This is 546 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:52,280 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. The big reason so many people 547 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,240 Speaker 1: claimed the failed Siege of Malta was a tide turning 548 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: moment and everyone may have been. When you look at 549 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: how things went after that, I mean it really did 550 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,760 Speaker 1: as as if there weren't a bunch of Ottoman victories 551 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: after this, But they really did stop the massive rapid advancement. 552 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 1: But why what a tiny little island relatively desolate. Why 553 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: would it be such a tide turning moment? Expectations? Expectations 554 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:44,479 Speaker 1: really are everything, aren't they? Perspective expectations, setting the bar 555 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: where you set the bar. It's really everything, isn't it. 556 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: If you have a goal in life of making twenty 557 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: th dollars a year for your career, being able to 558 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: afford off brand Mountain dew once a week and eat 559 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: top Ramen three times a day, you can argue that's 560 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: not a very lofty goal. Okay, that's fine, But however, 561 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,240 Speaker 1: you're going to achieve your goal. Yeah, yeah, you are. 562 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 1: If your goal is to become president of the United 563 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: States of America in a billionaire, well, obviously Trump pulled 564 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: it off, but he's the only person in history to 565 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,439 Speaker 1: do that. You got to be more difficult. You see 566 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: this all the time. We're actually gonna have a workout 567 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: guy on this morning. We're going away from politics for 568 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: one of my guests. You see this all the time 569 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: with people who are trying to lose weight get back 570 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: in shape. I would have looked like I would have 571 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: looked like that movie. So I would look like huge 572 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 1: Jackman in the Wolverine movies. Bro, you're three hundred and 573 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: seventy five pounds, You've eaten nothing but donuts for ten years. 574 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: It's awesome. You want to get back in shape. Why 575 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,879 Speaker 1: don't you just focus on ten pounds, then get another ten, 576 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: then another ten. You see what I mean. Everything's about 577 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:33,760 Speaker 1: expectations everything I people ask me. I get these emails 578 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: all the time. Why why I'm so happy with you know, 579 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: radio and TV? What's the funnest part about it? And honestly, 580 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: here's the funnest part about it, because I never thought 581 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: I'd ever be doing this for a living. I know 582 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: several of my friends in the industry who are They've 583 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time, well established, obviously 584 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: not going to tell you any names, and they are 585 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: millionaires several times over. They are national figures, you know. 586 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking to three hundred stations in America. 587 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: Means I mean TV shows everything people you would recognize 588 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: and what blows me away is I'll talk to them 589 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: almost all the time, and they'll ask me how how 590 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: it's going for me, and I'm saying, Oh, you're kidding, 591 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 1: it's great, this is awesome, it's so much fun.

I've been trying 595 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: to get this station and I didn't get it, and 596 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: it sucks, and then this this, this contract I'm working with. 597 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: They won't do this for me, and it sucks and 598 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: everything sucks. And I don't relate to that at all. Why, brother, 599 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be here. I still have to 600 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: pinch myself. They nationally syndicated my show. I was like, 601 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: what people wait thirty years and never get nationally syndicated. 602 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 1: I did radio for less than two When they syndicated me, 603 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: I didn't even think I was happy with at seven 604 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 1: o'clock at night radio show with one hour. Now it's 605 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: national three hours talking to you across the country and 606 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: a TV show too, And I never to mean here 607 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: thought he'd be doing that too. I'm thrilled other people 608 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: have it all, and they're miserable because of expectations, because 609 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: everybody wants to be Rush Limbaugh or Tucker Carlson instead 610 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: of just being you and being happy with who you are. 611 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with ambition, but it's all about expectations. You 612 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: need to prepare yourself for debate night tonight. You need 613 00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: to get your mind right for debate night tonight. This 614 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,800 Speaker 1: is why we have I mean, look, we have Joe Biden. 615 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: He's been giving us quotes like this for I mean gosh, 616 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 1: since he started campaigning. That's why I made it a 617 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: priority my entire career to work closely with you from 618 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: the time I got to the Senate one hundred and 619 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: eighty years ago, you know, as far as my tenure. 620 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: And we're listening to these and look, I could even 621 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: play a Biden gaff reel for you. I'm not going to, 622 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: but we understand that Joe Biden has always had some 623 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: flubs big time. That's gotten a lot worse as his 624 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: backwards slide mentally has gotten worse. You can see it physically. 625 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: He looks ancient, he sounds ancient, he's boring, he's tired. 626 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump is so good on his feet you've 627 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: seen the speeches, hour, hour and a half long speeches 628 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: withou nobody else, and he just rolls right along and 629 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: looks like he could be up there forever. You know 630 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: how hard it is to talk to yourself without I mean, 631 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: that's why so many TV hosts, radio hosts have co 632 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: hosts with them. It gets hard to talk to yourself. 633 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: It's different to give a speech to yourself. It's hard 634 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 1: for a long time. It's very hard. Trump makes it 635 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,760 Speaker 1: look easy. So Trump's up there making it look easy, 636 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 1: screaming crowds two hours. Donald Trump, he's the best Joe Biden. 637 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 1: I've been in the Senate one hundred and eighty years, 638 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 1: and I forget the pledge of allegiance. And you're thinking 639 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: to yourself, Trump is going to mop the floor with 640 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: Biden tonight. Slow down on that. What we have tonight 641 00:50:54,200 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: is quite possibly the moment that decides who wins the president. 642 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: The first presidential debate is almost always the most watched. Remember, 643 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 1: this debate is not for you, It's not for me. 644 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,720 Speaker 1: This debate is for the relatively non political rust belt 645 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: swing voter who voted for Barack Obama twice and then 646 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: turned around and voted for Donald Trump. That person is 647 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: going to tune in. They're not going to tune in 648 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,359 Speaker 1: for ninety minutes like you are, like I am. That 649 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,280 Speaker 1: person is going to tune in for ten twenty thirty 650 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: minutes before they change the channel back over to some 651 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,959 Speaker 1: Netflix show they're watching and forget about it. And that 652 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: person very early on is going to make judgments. And 653 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to perform a lot better than 654 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: you think early on because of the drugs. They can 655 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: do ingre edible medical things out there now if you 656 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 1: have the money and access, and the Democratic Party has 657 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: the money and they have the access, Joe Biden until 658 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: the drugs were off, is going to do fine. No, 659 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to win. I don't think 660 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 1: he's going to get up there and abuse Donald Trump. 661 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: I think he'll do fine. But fine is good enough 662 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 1: because everyone's expectations are that he's going to go up there, 663 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: trip over his tongue three times and have his eyeball 664 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:41,320 Speaker 1: fill up with blood. If Joe Biden even lives until 665 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: the end of the debate, everyone will think, Wow, he 666 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 1: did really well.

And the reason I say it like that 671 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: is I have been that guy. I've been that guy. 672 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: I dipped for so long, and what would happen is 673 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: I would decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad for me. 674 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, I don't need any help. 675 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. And I would fail 676 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: time and time and time again.
