1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: Jake's mintschew.

This is the 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. Are you afraid of the dark? Probably 21 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: everybody is somewhat. I don't assume you're the type of 22 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: person that the lights go out in your room at 23 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: night and you're staring at the closet for the monster 24 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: in there. I don't assume you're checking under your bed 25 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: ninety times a day, but maybe you are. No judgment here, 26 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: I got my own fears, you know, But afraid of 27 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: the dark is a almost uti versal human emotion. Darkness 28 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: creates apprehension because what it gives you is unknown, and 29 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: we as human beings, do not like unknowns. You have 30 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: some fear of the dark, undoubtedly because you can't see, 31 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: and when you can't see, you don't know. Now I 32 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: have what, in my opinion, has got to be one 33 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: of the all time worst Are you afraid of the dark? 34 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Moments in human history? Eighteen eighty one? We are in 35 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: still this is not considered obviously the age of exploration anymore, 36 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: but people are still exploring a lot. And when I 37 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: say age of exploration, I'm talking Christopher Columbus Ponce, dal 38 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: Leone Magellan. This thing that happens in men, it's a 39 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: wonderful thing. I know, for a fact, it's something God 40 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: gave us because it's just a consistent thing in men 41 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: where they will risk it all. And by it all, 42 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean they will risk the worst terrors you can 43 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: possibly imagine to discover new things, to go new places. 44 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: It is our nature. And I know it is our 45 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: nature because you and I talk history every single day, 46 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and they just they have to do it in fast 47 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: forwarding past our story and past the age of exploration. 48 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: It's why, even though it's not my thing, it's why 49 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: I understand space travel. I've never been big on it, 50 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: As you know, I'm a cynic in a jerk. I 51 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: just don't see the point. It does nothing for me 52 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: at all. Oh, we landed on Mars. Great, that's good, 53 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: that's awesome. How does that affect me? Never mind? But 54 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: as soon as we found everything there was to find 55 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: on this earth, for the most part, we needed something else. 56 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: Well what else is there? Oh? Wow? Look the moon. 57 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: It's man's nature. And as a seeker of adventure myself, 58 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: I get it. I'm more sympathetic to these adventurers than 59 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people are. I shouldn't say sympathetic, because 60 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people admire them. A lot of people 61 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: look at stories like the story today, the Lady Franklin 62 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: Bay Expedition, or the Greeley Expedition, whatever one you want 63 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: to put it. A lot of people look at stories 64 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: like this one today, this doomed story disaster, and they 65 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: think to themselves, what kind of person would risk that? 66 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand, and at least you know, we 67 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: do Medal of Honor Monday every Monday. I understand in 68 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: combat heat of the moment, throwing yourself on a machine 69 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: gun nest to save your friend, I get that. But 70 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: who sits down totally unnecessary and makes the conscious decision 71 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to give myself a great chance of dying today? Why? Oh, 72 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: I want to see things no one else saw. And 73 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: when I say great chance, let me lay this out. 74 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: This is the era late eighteen hundreds, made to late 75 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds and before Frankly, but they are trying to 76 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: figure out the North Pole. They're trying. When I say 77 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you have to understand this is 78 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: not the age of satellite imagery of eight thousand national 79 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: geographic high definition television shows. This is the age of 80 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: we have no idea, what's there? None? All solid ground, 81 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: all ice we don't understand the weather. Yes, we understand 82 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: it's cold, but I don't. They'd have no idea this 83 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: were there was a race at this time, a constant 84 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: race where somebody was always trying to reach the title 85 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: of farthest north, meaning nobody had been all the way 86 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: yet they just kept competing continually to be the person 87 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: who reached the furthest north of anybody in the history 88 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: of mankind. And so you say these things are a 89 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: little too dangerous. I say, that's actually really cool, right, 90 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: even if somebody comes along and breaks it. What a legacy, 91 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, I want to die with some stories one day. 92 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: What a cool legacy. Jesse Kelly the showgunt what Chris 93 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: farthest North? That's cool, right? I think that's cool. However, 94 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: they knew during these polar expeditions, they had these numbers. 95 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: It's not as if they didn't know. Fifty percent of 96 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: the people who went on these trips never came home. 97 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: Isn't that staggering. Imagine having that conversation with your wife. 98 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes the old lady can give you the long face. 99 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: If you're working a little overtime that week, how about 100 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: the I'll be back in two years Wow, maybe flip 101 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: a coin. Yeah, that's brutal and brave, very very brave. 102 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: A different mentality, right, look a look at It's a 103 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: brief side note. I'm not going to interrupt the history 104 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: story too long here, but look at us sitting around 105 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: in face masks in kindergarten class. How embarrassing. What are 106 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: we doing? Squirt in hand sanitizer on your hands ninety 107 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: at times a day? My word, come on, find the 108 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: human spirit again? Geez all right, I'm not getting sidetracked 109 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: christ name, but these scientists and army people get together 110 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: twenty five man expedition led by Adolphus Greeley. Adolphus Greeley's 111 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: an army man. They have all these army signals. Guys there, 112 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: Adolphus Greeley is actually a veteran. If the Civil War, 113 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: isn't that crazy? How these worlds merge. The dude fought 114 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: in the Civil War almost twenty years later, decides I'm 115 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: going to the North Pole and they get all their 116 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: gear together. These trips always had to be funded by somebody. 117 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: They cost a fortune. And when I say gear together, 118 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: let me explain. They took a ship north called the Proteus. 119 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: This ship was two hundred feet long. And when I 120 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: say gear, i'm talking food for three years. They had 121 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: three years worth of food. They had things like obviously 122 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: they had a doctor, they had somebody who would do 123 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: the cooking. They brought tons and tons of lumber to build. 124 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: You can, actually, if you want to do it, as 125 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: we've done so many times, do a little Internet Internet 126 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: image search for Lady Franklin Bay Expedition and you won't 127 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: have to go very far down and you will see 128 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: the long wooden, really nice looking lodge they built for themselves, 129 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: well well provisioned, well thought out. And I need to 130 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: emphasize this point. These guys were extensively, extensively read up 131 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: on the polar expeditions. They know about the previous ones, well, 132 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: the ones that managed to limp back Benny didn't. But 133 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: they know what went wrong, what went right. They know 134 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: what to bring. They know you don't bring wool up there, 135 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: at least not too much of it, because wool makes 136 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: you sweat and doesn't breathe, so while you're working, you sweat, 137 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: then it gets cold, then you freeze to death. What 138 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: you want is more what the Eskimos have. The seal 139 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: first and such hang on. We're just getting going. Oh God, 140 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: on n him only side on me, Jesse Kelly, you're 141 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: listening to the Jesse Kelly show. I hate when companies 142 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: try to lock me into contracts. I will admit to you. 143 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: I once signed a not one, not two, three year 144 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: contract from my home security company. Three years and get this, 145 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: about halfway through the contract, I had to move from 146 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: the Dallas area down to the Houston area. They said 147 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: they'd allow me to move the equipment down to my 148 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: new home, but I had to restart the three year 149 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: contract again. If your service is that great, why are 150 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: you locking me into a three year contract? You don't 151 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: get any contracts that's simply safe. For as little as 152 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars a month. You can have outstanding home security censors, 153 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: cameras professionally monitored twenty four hours a day, seven days 154 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: a week. Got a simply safe dot com slash Jesse 155 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: that's simply safe dot com slash Jesse that gets you 156 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: free shipping and a sixty day risk free trial. I 157 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: cannot emphasize enough how well provisioned this trip started out 158 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: and well thought out. Here was the plan. The Proteus, 159 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: the big ship was going to take Greeley and his 160 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: men up into Lady Franklin Bay, think Canada and Greenland. 161 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: Only north, like really really really north. The ship is 162 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: going to take them up. The ship is going to 163 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: drop them off. Sounds a little odd at first, right, 164 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: Why why are you dropping us off? Can you stay well? 165 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: And this is gonna come into play later because of 166 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the sea ice situation, and that is really really putting 167 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: a nice, nice little short term on that, the sea 168 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: ice situation. You only have about a short period of 169 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: time where you can actually ship through these channels. You see, 170 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: you're at the North Pole. And without going full out 171 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: science nerd on you, because I don't know enough about it, 172 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: I do know this though, Would you get way way 173 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: way up north? It gets light all the time during 174 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: the summertime, even though summertimes often brief, and in the 175 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: winter time the sun never rises. And the further north 176 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: you get, the darker it gets, living life in continuous darkness, 177 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: and the ships can't get through these channels because there's 178 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: so much ice up there. And then the darkness and 179 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: the ice, as you know from the Titanic, ice is 180 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: a ship killer, and we're gonna get to that later too. 181 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: So the ship can't stay. The ship shows up, drops 182 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: off all the explorers, unloads all their gear, says goodbye, 183 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: And the plan was for the ship to come back 184 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: after a year and drop off more supplies, obviously, drop 185 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: off letters, a note from the misses, pick up a 186 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: lot of the scientific things they're doing there. Remember they're 187 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: up there specifically for science, to do some exploring, to 188 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: look around a bit, try to get for this north. 189 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: That's the plan. Oh and in case you're thinking, well 190 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: that's dumb, what if something happened to the ship, they 191 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: had a plan for that too. The plan was they 192 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: had several spots between Lady Franklin Bay and back home 193 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: where they were going to drop off provisions in case 194 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: they couldn't make it clear north. Again. These people knew 195 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: what they were doing, took every known precaution you could take, 196 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: but they didn't land in a place that is inhospitable. 197 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: To put it mildly, there are some really cool pictures 198 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: if you want to do that image search again Lady 199 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: Franklin Bay. Cool pictures because they brought along not only 200 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of scientists, they brought along a photographer as well. 201 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: And that's just it makes this It makes it more 202 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: eerie when you figure out how it turned out. But 203 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: you can see them. You can look at a big 204 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: group picture of them. You can look at their faces. 205 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: There's one picture of them over a gigantic seal with 206 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: the seals sliced open because they need the seal fat 207 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: and meat. And they go up north and they're dropped 208 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: off in August and they start building right away and 209 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: build rape because he knows. Again, these are educated man, 210 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: he knows what's coming in October. The sun is going 211 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: to go down and you're not going to see it 212 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: again for four months. How creepy is that? And we're 213 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: talking an area covered in ice, covered in mountains, covered 214 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: in water, covered in wildlife. At one point they're attacked 215 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: by wolves seventy five below zero with one hundred mile 216 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: an hour winds. That is the kind of cold where 217 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: you step into it and if your coat opens up, 218 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: you die instantly. Your body temperature will drop to it. 219 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: You're dead. When the weather was so terrible so often, 220 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Greeley was a very smart guy. He knew, even well 221 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: provisioned and whatnot. It was bad for the human mind 222 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: to be idle, really really bad to be idle. People 223 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: have known this throughout history, and he really knew it. 224 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: So he would make them go out and do their 225 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: little mini expeditions no matter what the weather was, and 226 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: if the wind was blowing eighty miles an hour, they 227 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: would tie each other together in ropes in the pitch 228 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: black darkness and go out. Talk about insane levels of bravery. 229 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: And the first year goes great, goes absolutely great. They 230 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: get all this stuff done, they do reach furthest north. 231 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: They're getting all these scientific things done. And he has 232 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: them doing not just science, he has them doing school. 233 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: He has them playing games. They're constantly hunting, and I 234 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: mean constantly hunting. Yes they have food, but you always 235 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: want to make sure you have fresh food, and the 236 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: hunting gives you something to do. Remember, the plan was 237 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: next summer, after one year, the proteus was going to 238 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: come sail it on up and drop off some resupplies. 239 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: This was something as you can imagine after a year 240 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: in this climate, you can imagine how much the men 241 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: looked forward to that resupply ship being dropped off. Imagine 242 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: fresh stuff, Imagine just a letter from home. I have 243 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: been away from home overseas in an inhospitable place before 244 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: and the shortest note from home, the shortest window from 245 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: home is treasured, treasured. A year in the pitch black, 246 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: freezing cold darkness, you'd be looking forward to a letter 247 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: from the old lady, you would. And they were looking 248 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: forward to it so much. They used to climb the 249 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: hills and stare out at the bay in anticipating the 250 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: Proteus coming with their resupplies. But they didn't know what happened. 251 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: The Proteus was at one point coming with the resupplies. 252 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: Everything was fine, but you see, the first trip they 253 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: took up there with the proteus. What they didn't know 254 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: was that was an unreasonably warm period of time for 255 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: the area. Summers aren't usually that warm. So they screwed 256 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: up their timetable, and they screwed up well, the expectation 257 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: of how easy it was to get there. The proteus 258 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: loaded up with gear and took off a resupply, and 259 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: nobody ever saw the proteus again. The ice sunk it 260 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: to the bottom of the ocean. And now you're staring 261 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: out the mountains and you don't know this. This is 262 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: before satellite phone. Nobody told you, but resupply isn't coming. 263 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: Try to imagine that feeling as your August resupply doesn't come, 264 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: and then it doesn't come in September, and you know 265 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: what's coming in October. Remember the ships cannot come in October. 266 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: And you watch as the sun slowly dips down beyond 267 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: the horizon in October, and you know you have an 268 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: entire other winter in the darkness without resupply. What is 269 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: that feeling like? Really, he has a plan for this too, 270 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: like I said, very very sharp guy. His plan was this, Okay, 271 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: we waited, they didn't come. We have no choice but 272 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: to wait throughout winter. They were still okay for supplies 273 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: and food. By then again they loaded up to get 274 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: there just for such a rainy day occasion. Very smart men, 275 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: he said. But the plan is by next August, we're gone. 276 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: If they're still not here, we're gone. We cannot take 277 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: a chance on them coming. And they're still trying to come. 278 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't just like the Proteus sunk and there were 279 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: no backup ships. Other backup ships were trying to come 280 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: to and they couldn't get through the ice either. And 281 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: next August came and no resupply, And now you've got 282 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: a decision to make BattleBox is the coolest subscription service 283 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my entire life. And you have 284 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: to get this thing. I don't care if you're an 285 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: outdoor guy, just an adventure guy, maybe a revivalists, whatever 286 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: the case may be. You guys and girls who enjoy 287 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: the great outdoors, enjoy getting cool gear, can get a 288 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: BattleBox every single month, starting at just thirty dollars a month. 289 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: The crew from that Netflix show Southern Survival, they will 290 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: send you one of these battleboxes and it just has 291 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: different stuff all bundled in it every month, and they 292 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: have all the materials in there, teaching you how to 293 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: use everything. I have a hatchet. Now I have a 294 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: special device that will help me slice open a seatbelt 295 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: and bust out a window in a car. These are 296 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: just some of the items you can get at BattleBox. 297 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: Go get yourself one. Go to BattleBox dot com with 298 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: no E. That's BattleBox dot Com. No E. Use the 299 00:22:44,640 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: code Jesse get twenty percent off. Next August comes around 300 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: and they're still out there looking and there's no relief 301 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: ship coming, and now Greeley decides we gotta go. It 302 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: should be noted that there was a lot of disagreement 303 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: with the people on the expedition about whether or not 304 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: they should go, and how difficult is that decision to make? 305 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: Can you imagine making that decision? Here you are, you've 306 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: probably haven't searching it by now. If not, just no, 307 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: you're in a very solid structure, keeping the wind off 308 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: your head. Remember they had stoves and things like that. 309 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: They're fine inside, You're okay, Sure, food is getting real low. 310 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: But they could be here any minute. What if they 311 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: show up, and remember remember the time, how much time 312 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: it takes to do things, and how little they had 313 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: as far as communication equipment goes. He could what if 314 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: they show up five minutes after we leave? Let's stay? 315 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: What's stay right here? Greeley says, enough, can't do it? 316 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: Get in the boats, and they get in their boats. Yeah, 317 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, a lot smaller boats. And they start trying 318 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: to make their way south. When I say south, I 319 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: mean two hundred and fifty miles, two hundred and fifty 320 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: miles through the polar water full of deadly ice and 321 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: just disaster. They throw all their scientific research, which had 322 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: been sealed in waterproof crates. They throw all the scientific 323 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: research with them because now they're at the point and 324 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: it just it just amazes me, the bravery of the 325 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: human spirit. Now they're at the point they expect to die. 326 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: They say, we are bringing the research with us, and 327 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: they hauled these things all over the place because they 328 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: said they wanted their legacy to live on. Bring the 329 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: research along. Don't think we're gonna make it. And they 330 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: start heading down south and the food is running out, 331 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: and the food is running out. And remember they didn't 332 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: leave until August. What's coming in October again total darkness, 333 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: only now this time you have to try to get 334 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: somewhere relatively safe before that sun dips down over the 335 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: horizon again for the last time in four months. They 336 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: don't really get to the best place. They try. They 337 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: get to a place where the food supplies. Remember I 338 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: said the plan was to drop off supplies to them 339 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: at other locations if the ship couldn't get all the 340 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: way there. So obviously these are intelligent men. That's right 341 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: where they had and the supplies aren't there. And now 342 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: that sun's getting low and you have nothing, and you're 343 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: facing seventy five below zero in total darkness. Not only 344 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: are you facing seventy five below zero and total darkness, 345 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: you're facing it without a shelter and you have to 346 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: go out in it, not for fun little science experiments. 347 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: You have to go out and hunt down animals or 348 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: you're going to starve to death. Oh did I mention? 349 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: Because you're running low on food, guys don't have the 350 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: energy to get out and do the hunting, at least 351 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: not well. So now you have guys starting to die 352 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: of hypothermia. They're falling out of the boats into the water. 353 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: You have guys shrinking away and shrinking away, and I 354 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: mean all of them. They took one of their long 355 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: basically oar boats there were whale boats and flipped it 356 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: over upside down and that's all they had for a shelter. 357 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: It was so low they just had to sit in 358 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: there and the freezing cold darkness. They said, men started 359 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: to lose their minds. They would take turns striking out 360 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: to go hunt for food, sometimes successful, sometimes not. There's 361 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: a great book on it. I'm gonna find I'm gonna 362 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: find it for you so I can tell you at 363 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: the end of the show there's a great book on this. 364 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: It was really cool read. The author told a quick 365 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: story about they went out. You want to talk about 366 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: the little mini moments of devastation and despair. They're out hunting. 367 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: They finally see a walrus. What would a walrus look 368 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: like when everyone's starving to death? I mean, how big 369 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: and fat and muscular as a walrus? You're all gonna eat? 370 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: Okay on that and they shoot it and it falls 371 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: into the ocean, And then you have the other things 372 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: that come with starvation, fear, and survival. One guy isn't 373 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: isn't losing weight. He looks the same. There's only one 374 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: way that's happening, stealing food. Another guy repeatedly was caught 375 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: stealing food. Greeley had to make the decision. Keep in 376 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: mind how close you would be. You're on three years 377 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: now with a group of twenty five men, you would 378 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: know everything about each other. Trapped inside, Greeley has demand shot. 379 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: People are dying, and this may be the worst part 380 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: of this entire tale. They have telescopes. They have a 381 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: bunch of equipment to see far away. They can see 382 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: twenty miles away. I think it was twenty one miles away. 383 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: They can see the shoreline where they know there's a 384 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: I think it was an Eskimo village. The village is 385 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: full of huts and food and warmth, and their sea 386 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: is too dangerous. They can't get there. But you're looking 387 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: at it as you starve to death and freeze to 388 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: death in the darkness of the North Pole. Eventually a 389 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: ship did come along, they did get rescued. Of the 390 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: twenty five men who left on this trip, seven returned. 391 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: And here is the dark part of it, well, one 392 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: of the dark parts of it. They wanted to bury 393 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: lots of the men they lost. They wanted to Understandably, 394 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: people were big on that afterlife stuff, burial rights stuff. 395 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: They pick up some of those men, they bring them 396 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: back home, and the men have some very very very 397 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: clean incisions made. And they're back and their butt and 398 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: their legs incisions made with a scalpel, removing large chunks 399 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: of human flesh. There's something about necessity that really really 400 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: brings out the worst, didn't you. I don't know how 401 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: I feel about cannibalism. I don't get me wrong, I 402 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: know how I feel about cannibalism. Probably not going to 403 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: be on the Jeffrey Dahmer diet any time soon, However, 404 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: could you do it? Not? Would you? Not? That you'd 405 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: be looking forward to it? M I want to eat 406 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: Steve I understand that, could you do it? Maybe you're 407 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: sitting there saying absolutely, Maybe you're saying nope. I couldn't 408 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: totally understandable. Let me ask you another question. Could you 409 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: do it? If it meant your kids living? It's more 410 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: interesting than doesn't it. We're talking Donner party type stuff. 411 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: I'll do a show on that one day. Maybe i'll 412 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: do one later on this week. I don't believe in cannibalism. 413 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: It is against the law. It is against my god, 414 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: it is against this, It is against that. Okay, your 415 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: child staring at you, starving to death? How can you 416 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: do it? Necessity? Hang on? Is he smarter than everyone 417 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: who knows? Does he think so? Yeah? That Jesse Kelly Shaw. 418 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: Look at what's happening out there with the markets. Look 419 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: at what's happening with franchise closures all across the United 420 00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: States of America. This economy is a bubble right now. 421 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: With the Feds printing money by the trillion, holding interest 422 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: rates low, we are running a four trillion dollar deficit 423 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: at least this year.

What we're seeing right now, I'm specifically talking 434 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: about what's happening in Wisconsin. There's a brand new video 435 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: out now of some videos some dude this I'm not 436 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't think this one's in Wisconsin. But some dude 437 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: is sitting here outside having a meal with his girlfriend. 438 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter rally. People come up screaming in his face, 439 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: burning everything down in Wisconsin, And I had a moment 440 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: where I thought a couple of things. One shouldn't be 441 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: eating outside anyway, buddy, it's your fault. We'll get to 442 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: that in a second. Chris too, I'm glad more in 443 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: more people are seeing who these people are and how 444 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: they should be dealt with. You're seeing it, aren't you? 445 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: You're seeing it all over the places, they destroy, lives, 446 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: kill people, name. Everyone knows what's going to have to 447 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: be done at some point in time, and nobody wants 448 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: to talk about it. You cannot. As a country, you 449 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: cannot allow civil unrest within your borders. You can and 450 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: should as a free nation, you can and should allow protesting. 451 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: Of course, of course you don't want to become the 452 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: Soviets here, but you cannot allow people to take over 453 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: American cities, loot, burn, riot whenever they want. And part 454 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: of the reason you can is because that stuff is contagious. 455 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in taking hard stances, making the 456 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: hard choices early, and I'm not a believer in that 457 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 1: just because I'm a jerk. Although I am a jerk, 458 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: I'm a believer in that because momentum is everything. During 459 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: the early stages of coronavirus, why do you think I 460 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: was the only national voice screaming against the lockdowns? Why 461 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: do you think that was Do you think I enjoyed 462 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: that I was doing it because I was trying to 463 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: stop the momentum that well, you've all seen now I 464 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: don't have to explain it. Look what's happened. As soon 465 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: as you set the narrative and start the momentum towards 466 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna die go hub. It's virtually impossible to reverse it. 467 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: And why in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's killing 468 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, was I one of the only national voices saying, Okay, 469 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: bad video looks like murder. The cops still are not 470 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: the problem in these neighborhoods, when everyone else, including the 471 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: Republican Party, jumped on the cops are evil, racist bandwagon. 472 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: That's why I was against it early, and why you 473 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: should take the hard stances early when you know them 474 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: to be right. Don't take the stance that gets you 475 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: yelled at the least, take the right stance. That's why 476 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 1: I was so loud about it, because I knew this 477 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: was coming, and this is now just deemed acceptable. People 478 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: acting like animals in public violence, destroying lives. Remember that 479 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: poor cop, that poor former cop, David Dorne in Saint 480 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,399 Speaker 1: Louis shot. He was one of the early casualties. He's dead. Now. 481 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: People are dying out here, and they're dying for a 482 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: lot of reasons. But one of the reasons they're dying 483 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: is when it came time to take a hard stance 484 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: a stance that was going to get you yelled at. 485 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: Too many people in leadership took the easy stance. That's 486 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: the problem. That's the problem. You Oftentimes you need a jerk. 487 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: Oftentimes you have to be led by Adolphus Greeley who 488 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: takes the guy stealing food out back and shoots him 489 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: in the back of the head. You don't love him 490 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: in that moment. He's going to keep you alive. You know, 491 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: I had this, I had this theory. Don't worry. You 492 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: don't have to play fantasy football to know what I'm 493 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: talking about here. Fantasy football is simply this in case 494 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: you don't know what it is.
