This is the Jesse Kelly Show. 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: There are days on this show where we cover cool stories, battles, sieges, weapons, generals, 21 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: sometimes it's not warfare related at all. Sometimes we cover explorers, 22 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: things like that, crazy adventures. Let me just tell you 23 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: right now, this is not one of those days. Today. 24 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 1: You have been warned. As of right now, it's getting 25 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: dark in here? What would you do to stay alive? 26 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: What wouldn't you do? Is probably a better question, because 27 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: that's a difficult one to answer, right, What would you 28 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: do to stay alive? You don't know what? You don't 29 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: know what you're being presented with. I don't know a 30 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: lot I want to live, right, it's probably what you're thinking, 31 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: what wouldn't you do? Stay alive? I guess I should 32 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: ask what are your boundaries in life? You have a 33 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: moral code of some kind? Undoubtedly everybody does, maybe based 34 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: on your belief in God, your nonbelief in God, maybe 35 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: based on your parents. But you have some sort of 36 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 1: a moral code. Even the most low down, dirty scumbag 37 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: criminal has a code of some kind, not not one 38 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: you would want, but they have one. Isis isis guys 39 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: had a moral code relearly not one you want to follow, 40 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: But to have a moral code, what wouldn't you do? 41 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: What I'm asking is you will do this or you 42 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: will die? What is the this or to take it 43 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: one final step further, Picture the person you love the 44 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: most in this world. Let's set you aside. Maybe you're selfless. 45 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you're one of those people got a good heart 46 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: or people take two or three of them. Maybe it's 47 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: your wife, Maybe it's your husband. Your children, not just 48 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: your children, your young children age of three, seven, ten, 49 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: twelve years old. Maybe your kids are older. Picture them 50 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: at that age. If they are, look at them in 51 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: their eyes, what wouldn't you do to make sure they live? 52 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: Eighteen forty six United States of America kind of eighteen 53 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: forty six United States of America is not what you 54 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: picture now. Remember we didn't really have complete control of 55 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: the country yet. Oh we had the Louisiana purchase, as 56 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: you well know because you listen to this show. But 57 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: we had Oregon territory, we had ca California territory. These 58 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: things are under dispute. Actually during our story, war is 59 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: going to kick off with Mexico over a lot of 60 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: this stuff. But people are moving west at this time, 61 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: and I need to clarify something right off the bat, 62 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: something we all need to be aware of, because history 63 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: gets this wrong, and narratives get this wrong a lot 64 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: when there is a gold rush eighteen forty nine gold 65 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: Rush and other gold rushes. Gold rushes prompt people who 66 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: are poorer to take big risks to go get rich. 67 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: They also prompt rich people to go out and get richer. 68 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: They don't, and we'll go into that sum of that 69 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: here in a little bit. However, when there are no 70 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: gold rushes the United States of America, the government itself 71 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: has a more difficult time than you think getting people 72 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: to move into the territory. You need or you're America, 73 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: you own it, you need people to move into it. 74 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: That is a fact. The member possession is nine tenths 75 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: of the law. You can say you own it all 76 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: you want unless you have settlements there, towns there, civilization there. 77 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: It ain't yours yet, so you need people to move there. 78 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: And it's not that easy to get people to move there. 79 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: And what I say, the reason we get this wrong 80 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: sometimes is we picture all the people moving west in 81 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: a covered wagon, this destitute family just out there trying 82 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: to trying to find a way to make a buck ah. 83 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: That applies oftentimes to a gold rush period of time, 84 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: but in between rushes of something specific, it was actually 85 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: middle class, upper middle class and wealthy people who were 86 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: doing lots of the migrating. Why because they were the 87 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: only ones who could afford it. Wagons covered wagon you 88 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: can picture in your mind on you know, you're picturing 89 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: it right now. That's a car to them. That's a car, 90 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: probably more than a car financially to them, because not 91 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: only do you have to get the wagon to move 92 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: out west, you have to equip the wagon with a 93 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Let me ask you something not to 94 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: nerd out on the details here. Think about your bank 95 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: account right now. Hopefully you're doing well, maybe you're not. 96 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: How many months worth of food and supplies necessary supplies 97 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: your family need? How many months of that do you 98 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: have in your bank account right now? Have I told 99 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: you go buy as many months worth of food as 100 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: you could with just what you have right now? How 101 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: much could you buy exactly? Chris, Chris is look at 102 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: it is right now? Oh, I know, I know all 103 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: this works. Well, you have to do that for the 104 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: strip out west. The wagon costs, the supplies for the 105 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: wagon costs. If you can't do it yourself, and many 106 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: times people couldn't, you have to hire people to run 107 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: the animals to run the wagon. Oh and did I 108 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: mention the animals? There's another car? Are you picking up 109 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: what I'm putting down here? It's not easy and it's 110 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: not cheap to pack up your family and move across 111 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: the country, Which brings us to a name that you 112 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: may recognize where we're going today if you haven't figured 113 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: it out already. The year is eighteen forty six, and 114 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the family's name is the Donner family. We're talking about 115 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: the Donner Party now. It should be noted, and this 116 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: is going to be a critical part of our story, 117 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: the Donner family. We'll get to how it got called 118 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: the Donner Party in just a little bit. The Donner 119 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: family is actually not the main protagonist, anti tagonist, anti 120 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: hero of the story. It's actually the Read family. There 121 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: are more, there's more than just these two, but it's 122 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: the Donners and the Reads. They're separate. They are both rich. 123 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: No I'm not talking Carnegie oil tycoon rich, but they're 124 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: very upper middle class people think of half million a 125 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: year type person. They're doing quite well. They have their 126 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: own little shop, so on and so forth. They decide 127 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: they have opportunities out west because people like that are 128 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: always looking for a new investment in a new way, 129 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: and they are going out to make their fortune, and 130 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: they do it all the way. When it comes to 131 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: this Donner party, they get with several others. Again, contrary 132 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: to that image you have in your mind of the 133 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: single family alone rolling across the plains. Not that that 134 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: didn't happen. It did, but in general, these migrations west 135 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: they happened with as many people together as humanly possible. 136 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: Why because it's a whole lot safer. You need companions. 137 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: But the Donners and the Reeds they pull together everything 138 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: they need, the wagons, multiple multiple wagons, the ox and 139 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: the cattle horses, teamsters to drive them, and they're aiming west. 140 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Hang on, This is a Jesse Kelly show. Gold needs 141 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: to be part of your portfolio. And this gets confusing 142 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: when you start talking about gold because there's so many 143 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: fly by night companies out there and so much misinformation 144 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: out there. I am not telling you to go get 145 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: a pirate's chest full of gold. Actually maybe I should 146 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: tell you that, because that'd be awesome. But no, there's 147 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: such thing as a gold ira. You know what iras are, 148 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: in roth iras, there's a gold ira. Gold iras are 149 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: a great way to diversify your portfolio and make sure 150 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: some of your assets are safer than others. You've seen 151 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: the dow. You know about the election. You know what 152 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: happens in election season.

Now there's 156 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: something you need to know about each of these families, 157 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: and it's going to come into play today. Okay. The 158 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Donners appear to be, and I did plenty of reading 159 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: on this last night, they appear to be relatively unassuming people. 160 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean just kind of laid back, not too boisterous, 161 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: not to anything, relatively unassuming people. The reads, again, the 162 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: reads are more the focus of this story. Mister Reid 163 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: is not unassuming. He is, as you're going to see 164 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: as we follow along here, wildly unpopular within the group. 165 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: He comes off as I just everybody, every every account 166 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: says this and the crazy thing and the creepy thing. 167 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: I highly recommend you dig more into it than I'm 168 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: gonna give you today. Although I'm probably gonna go along today. 169 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm giving you a lot. You can have letters 170 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: and diaries from the people in the party, and they 171 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: are heartbreaking and they're hard. I actually watched a documentary 172 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: on this a long time ago. Gosh, I think it 173 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: was called The Donner Party by Rick Burns. You know, 174 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Ken Burns does all those great documentaries. I believe, I 175 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: believe Rick is his brother, and his brother did one, 176 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: and he had lots of the letters and he would 177 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: read it in there and oh, heavy, heavy, it's on PBS. 178 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: Rich no way, all right, cool, there you go. But 179 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: Reed comes off poorly, very poorly, A very headstrong guy, 180 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: aristocratic guy. They had an extra luxury wagon built just 181 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: for them, two stories, extra wide, with a stove in it. 182 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: The kind of people who and I have no problem obviously, 183 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: as you know, I've no problem with rich people or 184 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: poor people. I really kind of get along with all 185 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: of them. As long as you're not a jerk about 186 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: being poor or a jerk about being rich. That's all 187 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I care about. However, there's also a certain way to 188 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: conduct yourself in certain circles. Everybody knows the guy who 189 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: has to tell you how much money he makes, how 190 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: many houses he has, Look at my jet skis, Oh, 191 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: did I tell you about my wife's jewelry? Did I 192 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: mention how much money I spent on it? And guess what. 193 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're this person, but you need to 194 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: hear this. Nobody likes that guy, nobody in the history. 195 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: And I understand it comes from a place of insecurity. 196 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: That's why you talk like that. Nobody in the history 197 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: of mankind has heard you describe your second house, how 198 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: much you spent on your car and walked away thinking, 199 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: Oh man, that guy's really cool. It's never happened in history. 200 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Everybody internally rolls their eyes. That sounds like mister Reid. 201 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: He really rubbed people the wrong way. They gather together 202 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: and they take off and remember it's more than just 203 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: the Donners and reads. There's other families. There's guys driving 204 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: the wagons. There's a bunch of single dudes along outstriking adventure. 205 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: They are heading out west for the big adventure and 206 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: they have a plan, a different plan. There's a man 207 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: by the name of Lanceford Hastings. Lanceford Hastings is this hustler. 208 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Maybe that's unfair to him. He comes off like a 209 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: guy with delusions of grandeur. He sees himself as being 210 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: I read something on it. He saw himself as being 211 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the next Sam Houston. You know, Sam Houston basically founded Texas, 212 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: the first governor of Texas. He's it's, you know that 213 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Lanceford Hastings sees himself as being that 214 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: only in California. He pens in a newsletter to California immigrants, 215 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: people who want to go there, and as part of 216 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: this newsletter, he tells them, this route you've all been 217 00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: taken to California. It's totally wrong. That is a long way. 218 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: He has something he calls the Hastings cut off, where 219 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: instead of looping around the Great Salt Desert and looping 220 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: around the Sierra Nevadas, I have a route through each 221 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: of them, and it can save you three or four 222 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: hundred miles. It's easy to scoff at something like that, 223 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: but remember, let's keep this in mind. I don't know 224 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: how you operate. Maybe not this way. I have three 225 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: or four different routes home from the studio. I Google 226 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: map them every day before I leave to see which 227 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: one is one minute faster than the other. I mean, 228 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: I read this story, and I watch things on this story, 229 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: and I'm doing the same things you're doing. Don't take 230 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: the shortcut in it. It's not even proven. Take to 231 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: one everybody knows. But then I think about myself, and 232 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: I think three or four hundred miles by wagon at best, 233 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna see they're making fifteen miles a day in 234 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: the wagon. At worse two, what's three or four hundred 235 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: miles equal? There enough to pass that up. But that's 236 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: the route they decide they're going to take. But keep 237 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: in mind you don't just veer off towards Hastings cut 238 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: off right away. You joined with a gigantic wagon train 239 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: of all kinds of different people at first to head 240 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: out west. This is much much more than just the 241 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: Donner Party you would know of right now. It's a 242 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: gigantic wagon train. Again, for safety, everybody goes to Independence Missouri. 243 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: Independence Missouri at that time was basically the furthest west 244 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: civilized society went. And because of that, Independence Missouri got fabulously, 245 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: fabulously wealthy. You learned the real money isn't in going 246 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: out west, it's in going to the post that sets 247 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: people up to go out west. I'm not going out west. 248 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to sell wagon axels. I'm gonna sell salt. 249 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell sugar. I'm gonna sell this. I'm gonna 250 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: sell that to the people who are going west. It's 251 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: no different than we mentioned the gold booms. You know 252 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: who got wealthy in the gold booms. It wasn't the 253 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: guy's panning for nuggets gold in the river, although a 254 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: few of them did. It was the guy who set 255 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: up shop and sold them the pickaxes they need to 256 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: go do all that stuff. Those were the guys who 257 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: got really wealthy. Make your living selling things to the suckers, 258 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: not being one of them. Everyone gathers an independence, Missouri, 259 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: And with the exception of the Hastings cut off plan, 260 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: this is not a half cocked journey here. Again, these 261 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: are wealthy people, and they have planned this, and they've 262 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: hired professionals they have This is fine, right as up 263 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: right now, everything's fine. Remember that Hastings cut off newsletter 264 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: I just talked about though, about how he has a 265 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 1: different route out west. Hastings had never actually tried it. Actually, 266 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: more specifically, he'd never actually tried it in a wagon 267 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: and certainly not in a wagon train. Nevertheless, he pens 268 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: this long newsletter. People eat it up, and he wants 269 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: people to take his routes. This is a man trying 270 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: to establish himself, make his fortune. And they in big 271 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: wagon trains like this realize that you're going to have 272 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: an entire gamut of people. You're gonna have old men, 273 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: old women, young men, bachelor's singles, you're gonna have. You're 274 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: gonna have really good people in there. You're gonna have 275 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: really bad people in there. It's just the nature of 276 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: getting together a whole bunch of strangers and heading to 277 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: a new place. That's the way it goes. They start 278 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: heading out west and tragedy comes almost immediately. Hang on, 279 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: we're running into our first bit of tragedy. I guess 280 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: I maybe oversold the tragedy part at first. Grandma dies. 281 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: The read Grandma dies. It's not as if Grandma dying 282 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: is not a tragedy. But it wasn't some tragic accident 283 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: or something like that. It was she's old, she wanted 284 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: to come along. She wasn't in the best health according 285 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: to many sources when she left. And this is hard living. 286 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: And you see people run into this time and time again, 287 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: with various adventures they go on. You definitely see city 288 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: people run into this. A lot of you get. You 289 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: get an idea in your mind of what something is, 290 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: and it turns out that's not what something is. Luxury 291 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: double decker wagon or not. Life in a wagon train 292 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: is not enjoyable one, and it certainly ain't comfortable too. 293 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: And you know what, the food ain't great eighteen hundreds 294 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: or not. When they're back at their place where they 295 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: left from, you have a little steak for dinner. Yeah, 296 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: a little extra seasoning laying around him that steaks a 297 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: little better. Oh, you know what, we've been home all day. 298 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: One of our servants made her homemade hot apple pie. Oh, 299 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: little homemade whipped cream with it too. You ain't eat 300 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: no apple pies out there in the wagon train, or 301 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: not many of them, I should say, even though the 302 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: Reeds again did bring a personal chef along. Remember when 303 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: I said the Reeds rubbed people the wrong way? They 304 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: had a personal chef. You understand what I mean. Lifetist 305 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: gets harder, she passes on. I did think it was 306 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: pretty cool. I don't know why I find this part cool. 307 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: They buried or there, put a headstone on it, and 308 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: they're heading out west. Remember this is still the big, 309 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: big wagon train portion. This is not just the Donners 310 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: and reads yet Grandma dies. They get out to Fort Laramie. 311 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: Fort Laramie is one of these humongous forts, and it's 312 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: essentially what you need to think of. You need to 313 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: think of Fort Laramie a couple of different ways. One, 314 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: it's a big fort where everybody going west is going 315 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: to go there. They're going to go there, They're going 316 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: to resupply, they're going to figure out what's what. They're 317 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: gonna get word about what's out west because people from 318 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: out west are constantly coming back now spreading word around. 319 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: We're having trouble with these Indian tribes here. Avoid that 320 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: this territory is doing this. There's you know, word of 321 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: mouth was something that saved your life back then, so 322 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: you were always leaning on the understanding of people who 323 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: had just come the way you're going. This is wild 324 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: country and anybody who's ever been out west, I grew 325 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: up in the Rocky Mountains. I'm telling you. I know 326 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: you're from Texas and you think your country, you don't 327 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: have any idea what country is Jack. It is wild 328 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: out there and inhospitable, to put it mildly, and I'm 329 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: not taught, and I didn't grow up in an era 330 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: where somebody could take my scalp while I slept. You 331 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: go into the mountains, the plains, the foothills out there, 332 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: you feel like a tiny speck on God's foot. That's 333 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: what it feels like. It is wild and dangerous, and 334 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: the weather can kill you, and the animals can kill you, 335 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: and it's nuts. How do you think it was? In 336 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: eighteen forty six? They get to Fort Laramie and Read 337 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: and he is He takes a lot of blame for 338 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: what's going to happen in our story today, a lot 339 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: of blame, and I'm not here to absolve the man 340 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: from it. You just know I don't like I don't 341 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: like people who were only painted as villains in history 342 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: because I often find, if you dig a little more, 343 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: that's some propaganda, that's people always wanting someone to blame. However, 344 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: there is no escape and there's no excuse for what 345 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: happens here at Fort Laramie, Read and others personally meet 346 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 1: with a long established, forty seven year old mountain man 347 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: who had just come from out west. This is a 348 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: man who lives, eats, sleeps, and breathes in the wilderness. 349 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: If he tells you he can smell that rain's coming 350 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: three weeks from now, Rain's coming three weeks from now. 351 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: Those mountain men were just, I mean, the ultimate survivalists. 352 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: Not only had he just come from out west, he 353 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: had come from out west taking the Hastings cut off. 354 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: That the Donner party he wants to take. You know, 355 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: that short cut, the untried shortcut. He sits down and 356 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: tells them in no uncertain terms. He does not beat 357 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: around the bush. Do not take this route. You should 358 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: go the normal route out west. Everyone else goes this 359 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: Hastings cut off is an absolute death trap for a 360 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: wagon train. If you took the normal route, it would 361 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: be difficult. He tells them this. If you took the 362 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: normal route, it would be difficult. This route means death. 363 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: Do not do it, and read ignores him. I know, 364 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: I know, Chris just gave me that look. I think 365 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: about it every time too. Again, read one of those guys, Nah, 366 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: it's a short cut. I have a newsletter right here, 367 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: and they're in communication with Lansford Hastings himself, who's ahead 368 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: of them, telling them, Oh, the route is awesome. I'll 369 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: meet you at the next Fort West. If you take 370 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: the cutoff route. There's a fort called Fort Bridger. I'm 371 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna meet you there. But here's what's wild about Fort Laramie. 372 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: Fort Laramie. For the people heading west, Fort Laramie is 373 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: the point of no return, meaning there were plenty people 374 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: who by the time they got to Fort Laramie, remember 375 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: this trip, had already killed Grandma. By the time they 376 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: got to Fort Laramie, they realized, Okay, this this wild 377 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: West adventure thing not for me. I'm gonna go ahead 378 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: and go right on back home. And many people did. 379 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: And this is where you did that. This was decision 380 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: making time. You just hop on another train heading back 381 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: the other way, and you're fine. However, once you pass 382 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: Fort Laramie, you don't go home. You can't go home, 383 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: you can't go back. You have to basically get out 384 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: west now, because it's closer to get out west than 385 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: it is back to Fort Laramie. They take off from 386 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: Fort Laramie, and this is right about the time they 387 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: have the great split. And I think about this moment, 388 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: and actually you can Google image search this moment. I 389 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: don't think that. I don't think the picture on Google 390 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: image is exactly of the Donner party. That would be 391 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: way too big of a coincidence. Pictures weren't common enough 392 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: back then. But there is the moment where if you 393 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: go right, you go with the normal wagon train. You 394 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: take this wide loop around the Great Salt Desert and 395 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is the standard route, well 396 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: worn wagon trails. Even that route was difficult, but standard, 397 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: and that's where almost everybody wins. Or this young hot 398 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: shot Lansford Hastings has this cut off. He says it's shorter, 399 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: or you can go left and you can take the 400 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: Hastings cut off route and save yourself some time. This 401 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: is where the Donners and the Reeds and some others 402 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: they went left when almost the entire wagon train went right. 403 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: They are now heading towards Fort Bridger. They get to 404 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: Fort Bridger, and we need to talk about Fort Bridger 405 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: in the man who established Fort Bridger for a moment. 406 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: You know how much I love how history ties together 407 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: and everything melds together. Do you remember a long time 408 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: ago I did a show on Hugh Glass, the mountain 409 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: Man who was attacked by the bear and basically crawled 410 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: for two hundred miles through the wilderness because he had 411 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: been left abandoned in the wilderness by his two mountain 412 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: man friends. They thought he was dead basically, or was 413 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: about to die. One of the those two mountain men 414 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: who left him was a man by the name of 415 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: Jim Bridger. And don't worry if you missed the Huge 416 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: Glass Story one. There's kind of a cool movie about 417 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: it called The Revenant. Two. I'm gonna do another Huge 418 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: Glass Story one of these days. Don't work, Let's talk 419 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: about Jim Bridger.

He was a long established mountain man. He 440 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: might be the most famous mountain man of all time. 441 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: I grew up in Bozeman, Montana, while I moved there 442 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: when I was ten. And the major I mean, there 443 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: are mountain ranges all around it, but the major mountain 444 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: range that's essentially touching Bozeman is the Bridger Mountains. It's 445 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: Bridger everything. The ski the ski resort is Bridger Bowl. 446 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: This man is famous out west. At this point he 447 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: has established Fort Bridger. He's established Fort Bridger with some 448 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: shops in places people can resupply along the Hastings cut off. 449 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: He's a man trying to make some money for himself, 450 00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: not being an entrepreneur, but he's also a man, one 451 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: very famous. All these people would have heard of him well, 452 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: thought of invested in the Hastings cut off being successful. 453 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: They get to Fort Bridger and I don't want to 454 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: sit and act like this was a universal thing that 455 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: everybody in the group was totally onboard with taking this shortcut. 456 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: The women, reportedly, especially in the group, were not on 457 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: board with this shortcut. They wanted to go the other way. 458 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: Apparently they took a big vote and none of the 459 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: women got to vote. All the men thirteen and older 460 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: got to vote. And then it said if the women 461 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: got to vote, they would not have gone this way. 462 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: Maybe the only time in history women voting would have 463 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: helped quit Chris. We could make jokes, but truth is, 464 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: the women didn't want to go. Many of the men 465 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: didn't want to go. People are apprehensive. They get to 466 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,959 Speaker 1: Fort Bridger in one Hastings of course isn't there. He'd 467 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: taken off a few days beforehand with another bigger wag 468 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: wagon train leaves him a note saying I'll just catch 469 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: up or I'll be back. It's sorry I had to 470 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: move on. They talked to Bridger and Bridger tells them, oh, 471 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: it's fine. You should act. This is the way to go. 472 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: You are in luck. This is the way to go here, 473 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: and we need to take a moment here because it's 474 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: going to get to a point in our story where 475 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: this is going to matter. This wagon train, the Donner Party, 476 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: they were lackadaisical, to put it mildly, when it comes 477 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: to speed, they were really, like I said, they come 478 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: off they come off hard, like a privileged, wealthy, upper 479 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: middle class family or group of people who are used 480 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: to comfort. And these trips are all, every single one 481 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: of them timed and timed for a reason. You must 482 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: be here by this point. You must be here by 483 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: this point, not for you know, some kind of weird, weird, 484 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: random schedule, because if you don't, you're gonna die. The 485 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: weather is going to kill you. You have to be 486 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: across this point by this point. You have to be 487 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: across this point by September fifteenth, by October first. You 488 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: have to be here by this point. You have to 489 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: be here. And yet the story of them so far 490 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 1: already is Oh man, that was a tough couple of days. 491 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: Let's take a couple of days by this river. Oh, 492 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: look at how pretty this is. Look at the prairie. 493 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: Can we take a couple days here? Oh, you know what, 494 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: grandma's tired. Can we take an extra day? And it's 495 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: this time and time and time again, not once throughout 496 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: the story. There's a day here, a day there, three 497 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: days here, four days there, of things like this. Remember 498 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: I said that, Remember I said that. They push on 499 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: from Fort Bridger. They find a note from Lansford Hastings 500 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: tied to a post in the road, saying ahead, the 501 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: road is bad. You should try to find me, and 502 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to find you a new you know, 503 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: we'll try to figure out something. Read by now is 504 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: starting to get a little nervous, mister read. This is 505 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 1: going very very poorly, very poorly. Remember when I said 506 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: in the beginning that would go various distances, but roughly 507 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: fifteen miles a day. That's a big oversimplification. Some days 508 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: would be better, some days it would be worse. There now, 509 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: because there is no trail, they're hacking their way through it. 510 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: This is going poorly. They're now getting like two miles 511 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: a day. Reid is mad. Reid gets on a horse 512 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: and books it on ahead and catches up with Hastings 513 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 1: and gives it to him, What is wrong with you? 514 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: Where are you? You didn't wait for us? This trail sucks. 515 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: You said all this worked? And now remember he's embarrassed. 516 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: This was Reed's idea, This was Reid who pushed for this. 517 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: Help me out. Now hasting says, oh, oh sorry, I 518 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 1: mean no, I'm not coming back with you. I can't 519 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: do that. Here, try this route, try, try, try going 520 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: this other way. Instead, Reid goes back. People are now 521 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,280 Speaker 1: getting very upset and starting to cuss this Lanceford Hastings, 522 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: who's not where he says he's going to be. And 523 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: soon we get another death and now it's about to 524 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: get right. One in three adults has pre diabetes one 525 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: in three. That means it could be you your football buddy, 526 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,919 Speaker 1: your fruitball buddy, or you your best man, your worst man. 527 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: You you're a dogwalker, your cat jugger. While one in 528 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis, pre diabetes 529 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: can be reversed. Take the risk test at do I 530 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I have pre 531 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: diabetes dot org? Wait did they just say one in 532 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three point three 533 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: three three through three percent of adults. That means it 534 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: could be me my boss or my boss's boss, or 535 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 1: me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's seven 536 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait, 537 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner 538 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: Carol or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm gonna take the 539 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org 540 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: brought to you by the ad Council, and it's pre 541 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: Diabetes Awareness Partners. Somebody else dies. He dies of consumption, 542 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: and in general, consumption means tuberculosis. I don't want to 543 00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: say this guy died of tuberculosis, though, because medical diagnosis 544 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: wasn't the best back in the time, and consumption oftentimes 545 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: meant a lot of different things. All they say is 546 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: he died of consumption. All right, Okay, They're marching on 547 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: and they get to the Great Salt Desert, the Great 548 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: Salt Flat, and they get to the edge of this 549 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: vast expanse of waterless hell. And there's another note from 550 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: Hastings saying two days hard riding to water. And they're thinking, okay, 551 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: well that's that's not ideal, but we can do this. 552 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: We got our oxy we got our cattle. We got 553 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: some horses. Let's start gathering supplies two days worth. Hang on, 554 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. This is the 555 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. It is time to take on the 556 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 1: Great Salt Desert. They acquire a bunch of water, a 557 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: bunch of what they think they'll need, mainly for the 558 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: oxen and themselves. And keep in mind, in oxen, one 559 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: drinks twenty gallons of water in a day once. The 560 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: last time you picked up one gallon of water. Now 561 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: picture a bunch of oxen needing twenty gallons of water 562 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: a day. How much in supplies do you have to 563 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 1: gather to make it two days across the salt desert. 564 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 1: But they want to be safe, so they pack for 565 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: three days across the salt desert. And they start churning 566 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: across the salt desert and find out there's a reason 567 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: everybody has avoided the salt desert. It is a living hell, 568 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: scorching hot, no water, no nothing, and it does this 569 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: weird thing where this salty mud, bubbly marsh stuff actually 570 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: makes your wagons sink and break. The group actually ends 571 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: up getting a little bit separated from each other and 572 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: it ain't two days. After three days, they still can't 573 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: see the end of it. And now they're running out 574 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: of food, and now the Oxen are starting to go 575 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: insane with thirst. In fact, read surprise, surprise, who got 576 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: separated from the group. His teamster hand, his guy running 577 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: the team untied them, his oxen took off almost all 578 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: of them because they were mad with thirst, took off 579 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: to go find oxen. The Reads almost died at this 580 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: moment because they had to abandon their wagons their luxury wagons, 581 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: take only what they could carry, and walk trying to 582 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: catch up to the rest of the group. Had they 583 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: not found the actual donners, they would have died. And 584 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: they laid down at night and desert, the Great Salt 585 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: Desert gets freezing at night because it doesn't retain any 586 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: of the heat during the day. They had to pile 587 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: the family dogs on top of themselves to keep themselves 588 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 1: from freezing to death that night. It takes them five 589 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: days to get through the desert. They are now getting 590 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: weak big time. They are now cursing hastings a lot. 591 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: They're now starting to get concerned. It's starting to creep in. Oh, 592 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if we're going to survive this. 593 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: What's that moment like when you're you know it's a 594 00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: dangerous trip, but it's organized, You've hired professors, everything's going fine. 595 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to survive this. I 596 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: mean I've had moments, plenty of moments in my life 597 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: where I didn't know if I was going to survive. 598 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: We did one one time. We were on vacation and 599 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to go deep sea fishing. Now I like fishing. 600 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm not obsessed with it, but I enjoy fishing a lot, 601 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: not necessarily deep sea fishing because I haven't lived most 602 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: of my life by the ocean. But I wanted to 603 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: try it and see if I like it, and it 604 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: is a blast. Highly recommend it. We obviously rent a 605 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: boat that has a captain on it and has a 606 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: crew on it. And this is a nice place. We're 607 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: staying at a nice resort on the beach. It's a 608 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: nice vacation, and we spend this money and we get 609 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: this nice boat. I mean nice boat. There's there's really 610 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 1: nice my mind. And we take off out on the 611 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: water to go do some deep sea fishing that day 612 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: and I don't know who screwed up where I guess 613 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: you'd be. This probably always goes on the captain, But 614 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: I certainly can't absolve myself of any responsibility. But a terrible, 615 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: terrible storm blew up, and this is one of these 616 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: boats that had a tall, tall second deck on it, 617 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: and this storm, the waves were above the second deck 618 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: on the boat around us. The captain himself, the established 619 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: ocean guy, was visibly shaken and scared. Get your life 620 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 1: jackets on, get here, get ready. It was. It was 621 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: a moment, I'll tell you that much. I've been in 622 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 1: other situations, as you well know, where I could easily 623 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: have died, in situations where I thought I was frankly 624 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: probably going to This is one of the moments in 625 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: my life that stands out because it went from being 626 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 1: a mildly dangerous fun excursion on the ocean too, oh man, 627 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: we really might die today. And you're looking around at 628 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: the waves over the second deck, and the boat's going 629 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: up and down. And I don't mean bobbing up and down. 630 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean you are taking on water as it downs 631 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: in certain places, and you're looking around, and you find 632 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 1: yourself looking at the water, and I remember being weirdly 633 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: calm about it, like almost almost like I was outside 634 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: it looking in. I remember looking at the water and thinking, man, 635 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: I might drown in that water here in just a 636 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: few That would suck. And I didn't know that sounds flipping. 637 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,359 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be flipping. I wasn't being brave 638 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,800 Speaker 1: about it. And I just remember it like like having 639 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: that experience of looking at it, of this is insane. 640 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: We were just fishing on a nice boat, and now 641 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:05,320 Speaker 1: I might die in that water. This is crazy, flippant 642 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: Chris like flippants, like, no big deal about it. I 643 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: wasn't trying to be no big deal about it. It was. 644 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: It was. It was such a it was such a 645 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: change from where we just were earlier in the day. 646 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: It was crazy to me. And I imagine when I 647 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,439 Speaker 1: when I talk about this trip, the Donner Party, the 648 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 1: things they went to through, I imagine that this salt 649 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 1: desert when they got across it, or while they were 650 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: crossing it, I imagine this is when and you can 651 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: tell from their letters it was starting to hit home. 652 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: We might die. We actually might die on our way 653 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: out west.

Your questions camp but they don't 676 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 1: have to be as you've seen from the past ones. 677 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: They can be wild and goofy, and they can be history, 678 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 1: and they could be anything you want. I don't care. 679 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: The point of it is this on Friday's. Isn't there 680 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: enough to stress out about around here?

Jesse Kelly returns next. You know, 697 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 1: sometimes I struggle with things I believe, political things I believe, 698 00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: just ideologies I have. And you know what gets me 699 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: is all the history stuff I consume, because it's all 700 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 1: the time. I consumed history stuff all the time anyway, 701 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: long before I had a radio show, a whopping two 702 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 1: years ago. But now I have one, and now I 703 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: do it all the time, all the time, and I 704 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,959 Speaker 1: love it. It It looks I'm not complaining. It's not some burden, 705 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:28,719 Speaker 1: believe me. But the more I consume history, the more 706 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: it does two different things. It absolutely cements certain things 707 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: I believed to be true, and it makes me question 708 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: other things because of the history of the world. Now 709 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,319 Speaker 1: let me ask you something. And I say this as 710 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: somebody who is well known to be tiny, tiny government, 711 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 1: get out of my life, do the bare minimum government 712 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,359 Speaker 1: and get out of my way. I say this as 713 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 1: somebody obviously totally okay with wealth, vast quantities of it, 714 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: totally okay with poverty too. I do not look at 715 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: billionaires and consider them to be these saintly gods, but 716 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't consider them to be evil either. Good for you, 717 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: that's awesome. And I don't look at poor people and think, oh, 718 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 1: that poor victim. But I also don't look and think 719 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,919 Speaker 1: dirt ball either. It's just we're all are what we are, 720 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,720 Speaker 1: achieve different levels of success, different talents, different work ethics, 721 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: different family backgrounds. It's just not something. I don't use 722 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 1: wealth as a barometer for people ever. Is there such 723 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: a thing as having too much power in a society 724 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: because of your wealth? And if you believe there is, 725 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: which I think almost anybody would say yes to that question. 726 00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: Where it gets uncomfortable is what do you think should 727 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: be done about it? If anything? That's the question. I 728 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: don't necessarily think it's debatable that in the history of 729 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 1: the world, people have gotten too wealthy and powerful in 730 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: their societies and really could abuse the society as a 731 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: whole because of it. And that's not really debatable, right Chris, 732 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: I will argue against that that just happens. What do 733 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: you want done about it? Anything? That's where us struggle. 734 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,759 Speaker 1: I saw this headline and it almost, honestly, I just 735 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: almost blew off it. Blew it off. I was like, oh, good, 736 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 1: for him, and then I got to thinking, Man, I'm 737 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: not sure I love where this is going. You remember, 738 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this coronavirus lockdown stuff, when I 739 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 1: was screaming and yelling. You remember I was going crazy 740 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 1: on the radio every day trying to stop this madness, 741 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 1: which I did not end up being able to stop, sadly. 742 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,839 Speaker 1: But one of the things I was screaming about was 743 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: We're going to see the rise of megacorporations that are 744 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: as or more powerful than the government itself. That's what 745 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: I was screaming about. And the reason I was screaming 746 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: about that is I knew what these lockdowns would mean 747 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: to small businesses, and it has. That's absolutely devastated small 748 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:36,439 Speaker 1: businesses and the big businesses that had the capital and 749 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: the you know, the lending power to get through it. 750 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: They were going to gobble up the good talent from 751 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: the small businesses, and they were going to gobble up 752 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: the market from the small businesses, and soon it's only 753 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 1: them there, and soon they're even bigger and more powerful 754 00:57:54,880 --> 00:58:01,000 Speaker 1: than they were before, creating megacorps. Think of it like 755 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: your local hardware store and lows. I have nothing against Lows. 756 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: I was just against I was just in Lows like 757 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: two nights ago. It's not an anti Los thing. It's 758 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 1: just an example. Your local small hardware store they get 759 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: told they have to shut down for a month or 760 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: two because of coronavirus, and then when they're allowed to 761 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: open back up, you have to you have to put 762 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: in plexiglass, and you're only open this, and you're only 763 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: open that. And they don't make that kind of money, 764 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 1: They don't have that kind of profit, and they can't 765 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 1: just run to any in every bank and say I 766 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 1: need a loan. You get through another couple bunths and 767 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: they have to close their doors and go out a business. Well, 768 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 1: what happens there? What happens there is a that small 769 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: business probably had a few great employees, manager, assistant manager, 770 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: maybe some new guy who just started working extra hard. Well, 771 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 1: where are they gonna go? Hey, Los, you guys hiring 772 00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 1: anybody Lows is good to say, yeah, sure, And beyond 773 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 1: the talent the customers, where are you going? Where am 774 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: I going? I still need nails, I still need light 775 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: bulbs that are conditioning filters. I still need field valves, 776 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,959 Speaker 1: I still need I got something going to loose? Now? 777 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 1: Sucking up that extra market, sucking up that extra talent. 778 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 1: When that happens on a large enough scale, corporations can 779 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: simply take over. You know how humongous Amazon is now? 780 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 1: Do you understand how all powerful Amazon is now shipping 781 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: you anything? They got so big, Amazon virtually stopped using 782 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: the other shipping companies and just started their own. It's 783 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 1: called vertical integration, where you get so big you just 784 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,000 Speaker 1: start gobbling up the means to you to do what 785 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 1: you were doing before. It's like Carnegie buying a bunch 786 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: of steel from somebody, and then, Oh, you know what, 787 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: I think, I'm just gonna own it all myself. I 788 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: think I'll do that. Oh we need this, I think 789 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,160 Speaker 1: I'll just buy the whole industry and this and that. 790 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: That's what people do Amazon. During all this has gone 791 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: through the roof, We're all stuck at home. You're all 792 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: watching Amazon Prime. Businesses are closed, you're ordering things off Amazon. 793 01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: And now even though businesses are opening back up again. 794 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean, how easy was it to just order your 795 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: stuff off Amazon?

Okay, all right, now, 819 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: he just bought one of the biggest newspapers in America. 820 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 1: All right, I'm not wold that's that seems like a lot. 821 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Now he's going to buy one of the biggest cable 822 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: news networks in the history of mankind. Given me a 823 01:02:41,480 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 1: moment of pause, Hang on joining me now the big 824 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: cheese with the Texas GOP, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. Colonel, 825 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: there is all kinds of apprehension out there about an election, 826 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're well aware that that's pretty much 827 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: every single dagon election. What do you have to say 828 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 1: to people that are a bit nervous today, Well, it's 829 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: good to be with you, jes To simprify, I would 830 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: tell folks, don't be nervous whatsoever. What I want you 831 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: to do is to go out and vote. If you 832 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: have not voted. What we see happening in Texas, Texas 833 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: should be proud of the fact that we are leading 834 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the nation in early voting numbers. That shows that Texas 835 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 1: want to make sure that they keep Texas a strong 836 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 1: conservative state because Republicans are outpacing Democrats right now. That 837 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean we get complacent or apathetic, or we start 838 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:02,919 Speaker 1: to dance in the end zone. We got to take 839 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 1: this all the way through to their zeros on the scoreboard. 840 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: So I don't want people nervous. I don't want them afraid. 841 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: I don't want them worried. I want them to be 842 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 1: activated and to make sure that they do what's necessary 843 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: to guarantee that Texas does not ever allow any progressive 844 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: socialists to believe that they can flip this state. Is 845 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: there something somebody can do now? I realize it's Thursday, 846 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: the elections Tuesday. If somebody's sitting at home and they're 847 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 1: nervous and they feel like they have to do something, 848 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,520 Speaker 1: do you need something? Is there's something someone can do 849 01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: between now an election day? Absolutely, this is part of 850 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,479 Speaker 1: the get out to vote efforts. And so we want 851 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 1: you to make sure, number one, find those friends of 852 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,960 Speaker 1: yours that have not voted and make sure that you 853 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,919 Speaker 1: remind them to vote. And if there's someone out there 854 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 1: that needs a ride, to give them a ride to vote. 855 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 1: Except for is that someone's going to vote for Biden 856 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 1: and Haars, make them walk to the polls. Theyn't give 857 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: them a ride. But I think we've got to really 858 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,919 Speaker 1: make sure that we are getting our base out there 859 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,560 Speaker 1: and getting our support out there Texans, Texas Republicans outnumber 860 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 1: that registered Democrats by about nine to eleven percent somewhere there. 861 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 1: We had a great vote of registration push this year. 862 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. The second thing is see something, 863 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 1: say something. If you see something that is not right 864 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 1: at a polling location, we have a hotline that is 865 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: out there. You can go to texasgop dot org report 866 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,440 Speaker 1: any activity that you see, and we have a team 867 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:34,440 Speaker 1: that is ready to jump on it. Colonel. These issues 868 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 1: that come up all the time in an election, like 869 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,280 Speaker 1: the Biden email thing, and we think they matter. I mean, 870 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 1: people on the right thing they matter. People on the 871 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 1: left think they don't matter. Do they actually matter for 872 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: an election? Does social media matter for an election? Are 873 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 1: these just things that you and I spend time talking 874 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 1: about in the normal person doesn't care about it at all. No, 875 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: I think it does matter because you and I took 876 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,919 Speaker 1: a note to the Constitution. That's our rule of law, 877 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: that's the embodiment of the American people and our very 878 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:07,160 Speaker 1: first liberties. Very first rights in that fill of rights 879 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,520 Speaker 1: in the Constitution talks about free speech, free expression, free press, 880 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,160 Speaker 1: and what we see happening in America. You know, it 881 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 1: reminds me more so of being in the old Soviet 882 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: Union or maybe even being in China right now, where 883 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 1: a certain group of people are deciding what information can 884 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 1: get out there. So we don't want to see those 885 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: type of entertainment. Political media elits have power control in 886 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,160 Speaker 1: this country. So that's why it's important to vote. And 887 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 1: the other reason why it matters is very simple. This 888 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 1: is about the future of the United States of America. 889 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 1: This is an incredible decision point. And when you talk 890 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 1: about someone that has been doing paid to play schemes 891 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: with our number one geopolitical foe, which is China, absolutely 892 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 1: those emails and the revelations that we're getting about Dibiden 893 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: crime syndicate, which is seemingly worse than the Clinton crime syndicate. 894 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: We don't need that to continue. And it's with China. 895 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: That's the part of it. I was talking about this 896 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,440 Speaker 1: yesterday on the show. That's a part of it. I 897 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: find so shocking. This is with our mortal enemy, who 898 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: openly has plans to be an imperial empire and dominate 899 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: the world. It's not as if he has illegal deals 900 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: with Yemen or something not that that would be okay. 901 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: It's with China and they are borderline, are equal militarily. Yes, 902 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. They have become a near peer competitor, 903 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 1: especially when you look at their maritime capability and capacity, 904 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: and when it's the last time we saw an Asian 905 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 1: nation dedicate and build up their maritime capacity. I think 906 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: we remember what happened there there, and of course your 907 01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 1: heritage as the United States Marine was definitely solidified there 908 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,800 Speaker 1: through the Pacific. So yes, why would we want to 909 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: have a compromise the president of the United States America 910 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,960 Speaker 1: And all the proof, all the evidence is there, so 911 01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: it does matter. And I think even more so why 912 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 1: it matters here in Texas is that Joe Biden was 913 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,919 Speaker 1: a cutting deals with a Chinese energy company, and yet 914 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,520 Speaker 1: he's talking about transitioning US away from oil and gas 915 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 1: here in Texas, so he wants to destroy our oil 916 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: and gas industry and pony up to the Chinese. Colonel, 917 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,920 Speaker 1: I obviously have heard the stories about the kind of 918 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: officer you were, and that's a credit to you. During 919 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 1: your time in the service. People are concerned these days, 920 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: greatly concerned. I can't believe how many emails I get 921 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,720 Speaker 1: about the military leadership now. And we see these things 922 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: that are learning about social justice at West Point, and 923 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: we see the things these military leaders are saying. And 924 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, people do not realize how 925 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 1: big of a deal this rot is until it's a 926 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 1: nation ending big deal. Yeah. And what I want folks 927 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: to understand, and you know this very well, after your 928 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,360 Speaker 1: promotion to a one star level brigadier general or rear 929 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 1: admiral and the Navy, every one of those general officer 930 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 1: promotions is about political appointment. And I'm very concerned that 931 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 1: we have a class of generals and senior military leaders 932 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,719 Speaker 1: in our military right now who have come up through 933 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 1: the Obama Biden years and they were not very forthright 934 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 1: in standing up against some of the undermining policies that 935 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: they saw being pushed down out of the Secretary the 936 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: Department of Defense. And now they're in charge of our 937 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 1: military and social justice is not something they should be 938 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 1: teaching at West Point, the Naval Academy or the Air 939 01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: Force Academy. What they should be teaching about is how 940 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 1: do you get a good quality education, and how do 941 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 1: you defend this great nation? So we don't need people 942 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,640 Speaker 1: talking about America's a bad nation. America we need to 943 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: force equality of outcomes or any of those things that 944 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 1: any of our service academies we should be training up 945 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,679 Speaker 1: the next generation of future combat leaders and leaders period 946 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 1: for the United States of America. What do we do 947 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: about our education system? I understand I'm seeing these numbers 948 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 1: about the Texas Texas people pulling their kids out of schools, 949 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 1: homeschooling kids. I think that is a wonderful thing to 950 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 1: be people taking more control over their child's education, the 951 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 1: things their childs are, their child is taught. What can 952 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 1: we do nationally about this education system? Colonel We can't 953 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: continue teaching our kids that America sucks. No, you can. 954 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: And that's why I stress wherever I go. The most 955 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,559 Speaker 1: important elected position in the United States America school board. 956 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 1: But yet the election that has the least amount of 957 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: voter participation at school board. We are very fortunate that 958 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 1: in some places here in Texas you're going to have 959 01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,799 Speaker 1: school board elections on this ballot because they got pushed 960 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 1: into November because of the COVID issue, and we also 961 01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 1: have Texas State Board of Education three open positions that 962 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 1: are up, and we need to make sure we get 963 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 1: people in there. They're going to educate our kids and 964 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 1: not indoctrinate our kids. And so that's how it starts. 965 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 1: It starts at the home, it starts with the school 966 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: boards and make sure that we have we have the 967 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: curriculum that is going towards teaching our kids. We've got 968 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 1: to get back to teaching history. You got to get 969 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 1: back to teaching civics, not this subjective thing called social studies. 970 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 1: And what unnurshed me. You know, I live up here 971 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,360 Speaker 1: in North Texas, in Garland, not too far away, in 972 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 1: grape Bond High School. Here in North Texas. Grape Bond 973 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 1: High School has a Marxist club. I don't think we 974 01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 1: need to have Marxist clubs in high schools in Texas. Well. 975 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,759 Speaker 1: I'm trying to drive that point home to people, Colonel, 976 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 1: So I'll get that a lot. I have a lot 977 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,439 Speaker 1: of Texas listeners, even though the show's national now, and 978 01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 1: they'll tell me, oh, it's fine here. I'm in this 979 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: Texas suburb or that Texas suburb. And I try to 980 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: tell him, brother, I'm in a Texas suburb too. They 981 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: had transgender Day at our high school right up the 982 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: road down here.

Back 1023 01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: to my struggling with beliefs thing big tech. As we've 1024 01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: talked about, we can't have government taking over private businesses, right, 1025 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: we could. I would never stand for that, right, but 1026 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 1: we are on the cusp of a gigantic election. I'm 1027 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 1: not going to do that. It's the most important election 1028 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:10,040 Speaker 1: in history, because everybody says that every single time. Come 1029 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 1: up with some new material, please, but it is a 1030 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:20,040 Speaker 1: presidential election, and the radically different directions Donald Trump and 1031 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden would take the country you most definitely believe 1032 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: in one all the way, or at least most of 1033 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:33,240 Speaker 1: the way. And the complete media blackout of the Joe 1034 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:40,639 Speaker 1: Biden Hunter Biden stories mixed with how all in big 1035 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,679 Speaker 1: tech has gone for Joe Biden leading up to this election. 1036 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 1: What are we supposed to do about that? How are 1037 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 1: we supposed to operate when all left wingers control so 1038 01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 1: much of the means of communication? Three different headlines. Headline 1039 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:08,520 Speaker 1: from Fox Business Zuckerberg not aware that Facebook election integrity 1040 01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: official worked for Joe Biden. Next headline Twitter CEO defends 1041 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 1: decision to censor Trump but not Iran's Ayatollah calling for violence. 1042 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:28,440 Speaker 1: That was from Bongino dot com headline. Last one exclusive. 1043 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 1: This is from the Federalist. Twitter suspends US border chief 1044 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: for celebrating walls protection from illegal aliens. The Border patrol 1045 01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,480 Speaker 1: chief is not allowed to say I'm doing my job 1046 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: without being censored. This is this is not sustainable. This 1047 01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: is not sustainable. I don't know what I want done, 1048 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:08,559 Speaker 1: but I know this something I promise you the Oh 1049 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 1: it'll work out. I ain't there anymore, Jack, it ain't 1050 01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna work out. This is amazing. Also, we need to 1051 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:24,680 Speaker 1: talk about this. Stop putting drugs in your butt. I 1052 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 1: just find this whole theme to be fascinating. Now. As 1053 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 1: you know, I geek out on cartails. We might have 1054 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:36,639 Speaker 1: to do some cartails stuff next week, Chris, I geek 1055 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 1: out on cartails, And as such, I've learned more than I, 1056 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 1: frankly ever wanted to know about drug mules and the 1057 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 1: things they do to get drugs over here. And sometimes 1058 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: those things, let's be honest, are really really really cool. 1059 01:17:52,760 --> 01:18:00,240 Speaker 1: When Pablo Escobar has scuba divers attaching gigantic pipes full 1060 01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 1: of drugs to the underside of a ship when the 1061 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 1: ship doesn't know it, and then having the ship's sail 1062 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,599 Speaker 1: into an American harbor where Pablo Escobar has people waiting 1063 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:15,760 Speaker 1: to turn off the electro magnets, dropping the pipes to 1064 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean floor, where he sends out 1065 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: more scuba divers to grab it and bring it in. Yeah, 1066 01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: that's really cool. Drugs are no drugs. I'm sorry. That's 1067 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:32,880 Speaker 1: freaking awesome. But it also devolves into more of a 1068 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:40,839 Speaker 1: personal thing where people they load up condoms with drugs 1069 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: and swallow them, and people die like this if the 1070 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 1: condoms burst in their stomach because the stomach acid. Yeah, 1071 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 1: imagine this. The stomach acid starts eating away at the 1072 01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 1: rubbers and if it eats, if it's in there for 1073 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,639 Speaker 1: too long, you're gonna die. If that thing bursts, you're 1074 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 1: going to die. And people die in like this all 1075 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 1: the time. And beyond the swallowing the other places, yes, depository, 1076 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 1: I guess you would call it the other places where 1077 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 1: people choose to hide things and move things around. You 1078 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:27,640 Speaker 1: can say I'm old fashioned. It makes me uncomfortable. I 1079 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:33,240 Speaker 1: got another headline.

And it's not that I feel 1121 01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 1: as if drug dealers and mules are probably the most 1122 01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:17,480 Speaker 1: introspective people in the world. But you have to imagine, 1123 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,680 Speaker 1: in fact, if you're a drug mule, you're welcome to 1124 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,800 Speaker 1: call in eight seven seven three seven seven four three 1125 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 1: seven three.

I mean, 1129 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,640 Speaker 1: that's like they all do it. The movies overdramatize this, 1130 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the Italian mafia. The Godfather 1131 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: did this. Yeah, oh we don't. We don't want any 1132 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:56,480 Speaker 1: drugs here, just we don't do They all were involved 1133 01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 1: in the drug trade pretty much immediately. If if it's 1134 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:05,040 Speaker 1: something people want and it's against the law, organized crime 1135 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 1: is going to get involved in it. Gambling, prostitution, drugs, 1136 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 1: booze during prohibition, whatever it is. If it's illegal and 1137 01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,320 Speaker 1: people want to consume it, organized crime is going to 1138 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:25,280 Speaker 1: get involved in it. Period, end a story. But they 1139 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 1: genuinely have rules, family rules. You remember that that's why 1140 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 1: Podcastellano got killed. It's because of the whole drug thing. 1141 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: They have rules of you are not allowed. The boss 1142 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,720 Speaker 1: of the family will tell his guys you are not 1143 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 1: allowed to deal drugs. Nobody will deal drugs. If you 1144 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: get caught dealing drugs, I'll kill you. He says that, 1145 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 1: knowing full well they're going to deal drugs. He says that, 1146 01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,640 Speaker 1: so he has complete justification to kill you if you 1147 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 1: get caught dealing drugs, because the money is the difference 1148 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: between you you staying alive and you not staying alive. 1149 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:09,919 Speaker 1: Family A doesn't deal drugs. Family B does deal drugs. 1150 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:14,640 Speaker 1: Family A brings in ten million a year. Family B 1151 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 1: brings in a hundred million a year. Where are the 1152 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,719 Speaker 1: next generation of tough guys going to go to apply 1153 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 1: their trade. They're going to go to Family B, who 1154 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:28,040 Speaker 1: gets bigger and wealthier and bigger and wealthier over time, 1155 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 1: and soon Family A. They're all swimming with the fishes. 1156 01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 1: That's the problem with drugs. It's tough to turn down 1157 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: that money. We've talked about it before. I'm not going 1158 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,200 Speaker 1: to go into the show again, but that show locked 1159 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 1: up Abroad, where it's always somebody on vacation somewhere and so, 1160 01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, get involved with someone. Someone just asks them, Hey, 1161 01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:54,760 Speaker 1: all I want you to do is take this here 1162 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,600 Speaker 1: from here to here, and almost to a man or 1163 01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: to a woman, they'll say, well, I mean, I never 1164 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: consider myself a drug dealer. Was just gonna be a 1165 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 1: one time thing. But the money they're gonna pay me. 1166 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna pay me ten thousand dollars just to carry 1167 01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:15,080 Speaker 1: a suitcase. It's always the money that gets you. That's 1168 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 1: why I have. While I don't consider myself soft on 1169 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: crime by any means, I do have a soft spot 1170 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,880 Speaker 1: for people who grow up in bad neighborhoods and poverty 1171 01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 1: and end up getting involved in some of this type 1172 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 1: of stuff. Okay, I've eaten nothing but crappy, poor people 1173 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:40,160 Speaker 1: food my entire life. The local drug dealer when I'm 1174 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 1: fourteen years old just gave me a hundred dollar bill. 1175 01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,679 Speaker 1: I just walked into McDonald's and ordered all the food 1176 01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 1: I wanted. You can laugh that off until you've been 1177 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:58,360 Speaker 1: poor and hungry with crappy food and you're sitting in 1178 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 1: front of a forty piece chicken nuggets for the first time, 1179 01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: you think you might want to do what that guy 1180 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 1: does for a living all of a sudden, of course, 1181 01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:12,120 Speaker 1: of course, it's all I mean. The money's absurd, the 1182 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 1: money these guys have, the stories. That's part of the 1183 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 1: reason these cartel's stories, stories fascinate me. Who was that guy? 1184 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,519 Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna I'm probably gonna get this. His 1185 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 1: name run Armando Carrillo Fuentes. I may have that wrong. 1186 01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 1: He was a Mexican cartel boss huge. They called him 1187 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 1: the Lord of the Skies. That that part I do know. 1188 01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,800 Speaker 1: They called him the Lord of the skies. He didn't 1189 01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:40,479 Speaker 1: have a private plane. He didn't have a private jet. 1190 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: He had a fleet of seven forty seven's. These guys, 1191 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,600 Speaker 1: they just have more money than they know what to 1192 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:53,320 Speaker 1: do with. What was that. I'm gonna screw up the 1193 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,360 Speaker 1: number here too, but it's something absurd. Pablo Escobar spent 1194 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 1: something like fifteen thousand dollars month on rubber bands to 1195 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 1: keep all of the cash together. They still to this 1196 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:10,919 Speaker 1: day find various houses where he hid cash in the walls. 1197 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: They had a burn rate. They knew what it was 1198 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,840 Speaker 1: of cash they wouldn't be able to get to in 1199 01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:20,120 Speaker 1: time before the rats and the water rotted it out. 1200 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,240 Speaker 1: More cash than they knew what to do with. There's 1201 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:27,160 Speaker 1: that famous scene in that Netflix show Narcos about Paulo 1202 01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 1: Escobar's life highly recommended if you haven't canceled Netflix yet, 1203 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 1: where he's just chucking stacks of cash into the fire 1204 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:40,160 Speaker 1: to start a fire. That's real, he happened. Just stupid money, 1205 01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,800 Speaker 1: money you can't spend. Can you imagine having so much 1206 01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,639 Speaker 1: money there's nothing left for you to spend it on. 1207 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:55,240 Speaker 1: You have twenty houses, boats, planes, cars, You've got everything. Yeah, 1208 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:58,680 Speaker 1: back to the Jeff Bezos thing. Well, the thing is 1209 01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: when you get to Jeff Bezos and think about this. 1210 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos got a divorce and he's still the richest 1211 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: guy in the world. Is she the richest woman to exist? Oh? 1212 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:12,880 Speaker 1: Christians told me as soon as he got to divorce, 1213 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,680 Speaker 1: his wife instantly became the richest woman to exist. Gosh, 1214 01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:22,479 Speaker 1: that's kind of low key hilarious, though, isn't it. Congratulations lady, 1215 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:29,439 Speaker 1: you earned it. But seriously, when you get to that 1216 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 1: level of money, have you ever thought about that? And 1217 01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 1: I know it's fun. I'm not talking about doing though. Oh, 1218 01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,240 Speaker 1: if I had more money, I would upgrade our countertops. 1219 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about boring white people's stuff. I mean, 1220 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking about doing the childlike fantasy. I want to 1221 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 1: be a prince or a princess one day. Have you 1222 01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 1: ever thought about what you would do if there was 1223 01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 1: no limit on the amount of money you had? And 1224 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,439 Speaker 1: I mean no limit. I don't mean one of these 1225 01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 1: scenarios I'm gonna give you ten million dollars. I mean 1226 01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:01,760 Speaker 1: there is no limit. Just consider it limited. What would 1227 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 1: you do? I think I would need time, No, don't 1228 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 1: you I honestly, I've a shame to say it. I 1229 01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:11,840 Speaker 1: think I would just go sit down in my chair 1230 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:13,639 Speaker 1: at home for a few days and try to figure 1231 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:15,920 Speaker 1: it out. I'd probably have to start writing down a list, 1232 01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,599 Speaker 1: and you know what would be terrible, as I would 1233 01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,639 Speaker 1: talk myself out of everything fun. You know what I want? 1234 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,880 Speaker 1: I want to think. I don't. I'm not big on 1235 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:27,320 Speaker 1: the expensive vices thing. It's not again, I didn't do that. 1236 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't love anything, so I don't 1237 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,400 Speaker 1: have expensive vices. I want a boat. And then I 1238 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 1: would take like five seconds, I'd be like, Oh, there's 1239 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:38,520 Speaker 1: no way I'm spending that money on insurance, the maintenance. 1240 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,280 Speaker 1: It's probably just gonna break down. I'll talk myself out 1241 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:43,559 Speaker 1: of everything I want to. Well, you know, I could 1242 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 1: get a new pickup, but this one actually already has 1243 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: my seat settings in it, and I don't want to 1244 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,599 Speaker 1: have to go through that again. You know that's true, Chris, 1245 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:58,680 Speaker 1: You know it's true.

People think it is not important. Let me 1285 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:33,120 Speaker 1: stress this that you think like me. That is the 1286 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 1: least important thing in the world. The most important thing 1287 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:45,639 Speaker 1: is that you think. You think for yourself. You think 1288 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:50,920 Speaker 1: for yourself at all times. I try to drive this 1289 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:56,559 Speaker 1: home to my boys. Obviously, I'm trying to put certain 1290 01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 1: values into them. I want there and are basic life skills, 1291 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:07,080 Speaker 1: manners and such they are required to have. I want 1292 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,360 Speaker 1: them to think. That's why I haven't pushed politics. I mean, 1293 01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,559 Speaker 1: they're obviously quickly picking up the Republican thing. That's why 1294 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 1: I haven't pushed politics. You think, you come up with it. 1295 01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,280 Speaker 1: I can gently guide you one way or the other 1296 01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:24,599 Speaker 1: you think. And the reason I want that is if 1297 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,760 Speaker 1: I tell them, or I tell you how to think 1298 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:32,679 Speaker 1: about something, then I've told you how to think about 1299 01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:39,600 Speaker 1: that thing. But if I tell you how to think yourself, 1300 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:46,479 Speaker 1: now you're ready to think about everything without me. That's 1301 01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:50,280 Speaker 1: what I tell my boys. I tell them. Look, I'm 1302 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 1: frank about it. My wife's more foight. I tell them 1303 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna die one day and you're going to be 1304 01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,799 Speaker 1: on this earth without me, and you're going to be eighteen. 1305 01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,400 Speaker 1: And I have told my sons. They know it to 1306 01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:03,479 Speaker 1: be true. When you graduate high school, you are out 1307 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:07,720 Speaker 1: of my house, Dawn. Go get a crappy apartment and 1308 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,719 Speaker 1: a bad part of town somewhere. Get your vehicle broken 1309 01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 1: into in the middle of the night. Go eat kraftmac 1310 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,479 Speaker 1: and cheese. Go learn how to live life like that, 1311 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:21,200 Speaker 1: like people should. And when you're out there, yeah, I'll 1312 01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:23,880 Speaker 1: be a phone call away. You're going to have to 1313 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,760 Speaker 1: think your way through things. You're going to have to 1314 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 1: figure things out, don't think so. If people are starting 1315 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:38,400 Speaker 1: to become aware about social media, aware of media in general, good, 1316 01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:41,799 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. The best thing that can happen 1317 01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,680 Speaker 1: for people right now is for them to unplug from 1318 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:55,120 Speaker 1: the matrix. Professor at Columbia says the American flag is 1319 01:37:55,120 --> 01:38:01,559 Speaker 1: a symbol of genocide. Chris, do me a favor real 1320 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,679 Speaker 1: quick while we're on the air, Would you go ahead 1321 01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:09,680 Speaker 1: and look up the tuition at Columbia University. Yeah, you 1322 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 1: know what, I don't care whether it's in state out 1323 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:15,520 Speaker 1: of state. Give me something rough. Give me the tuition 1324 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 1: at Columbia University. Drumroll, please, I know there's a lot. 1325 01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,679 Speaker 1: Just give me something rough. It's got to be sixty 1326 01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:28,680 Speaker 1: grand a year, seventy five grand a year, gosh it, 1327 01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 1: maybe more at Columbia. I'm pretty sure Columbia's IVY League. 1328 01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. My community college was not IVY League. 1329 01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 1: There are two semesters in a year, you idiot. Sixty 1330 01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:50,519 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for a year. Let's see carry the one 1331 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:58,080 Speaker 1: that's two hundred and forty thousand dollars for a four 1332 01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:07,880 Speaker 1: year education so your child can come out hating the 1333 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 1: United States of America. I have said it before, I 1334 01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:17,800 Speaker 1: will say it again. You geek out on history. I 1335 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 1: geek out on history. I cannot come up with other 1336 01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,760 Speaker 1: examples historically. I understand the left has done this to 1337 01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,000 Speaker 1: Western nations today, but I cannot come up with a 1338 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:35,200 Speaker 1: single other historical example of a nation that allows its 1339 01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:40,760 Speaker 1: educators to teach generations to hate the nation itself. It 1340 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:45,680 Speaker 1: is the most suicidal thing I've ever seen in my lifetime. 1341 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:51,080 Speaker 1: And not only do we allow it, we pay for it. 1342 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:59,559 Speaker 1: We pay for it. There are people, as we speak, 1343 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,679 Speaker 1: more research for you on the fly. What's the enrollment? 1344 01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 1: How many students at a time at Columbia University? Drumroll? Please? 1345 01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 1: Ten thousand, twenty thousand. I would guess roughly this. This 1346 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:18,960 Speaker 1: is national Radio, Chris. If you could hurry up, it 1347 01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:22,759 Speaker 1: would be appreciated. Gosh, you bring the show down, dragging 1348 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 1: us down into nothing. What is it, Chris really saying? 1349 01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:35,880 Speaker 1: Let's assume it's ten thousand, twenty four thousand. Oh, okay, 1350 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,400 Speaker 1: twenty four thousand. That's perfect, all right, Fine, wrap your 1351 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:46,120 Speaker 1: mind around this. Twenty four thousand kids. Let's assume they're 1352 01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,799 Speaker 1: all come from two parent homes. Probably a big assumption anymore, 1353 01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:56,240 Speaker 1: but let's assume they do. That's forty eight thousand adults 1354 01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:01,240 Speaker 1: in the United States of America currently that are spending 1355 01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:07,280 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty thousand dollars to have their children 1356 01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:14,240 Speaker 1: learn how to hate America. It's not as if we're 1357 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 1: forcing these kids into that. We are paying for it. 1358 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:31,120 Speaker 1: We are paying for it when you pay to send 1359 01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:36,240 Speaker 1: your child off to college, unless you are very specific 1360 01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:40,360 Speaker 1: about it and very intentional about where you send them 1361 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,280 Speaker 1: and what you send them for. And protective about what 1362 01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:48,040 Speaker 1: they learn. You are spending a fortune to have your 1363 01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:55,599 Speaker 1: child learn that America sucks, and there is not there's 1364 01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:59,240 Speaker 1: not a more damaging mentality in the history of this 1365 01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 1: country than the mentality of, oh, they'll grow out of it. 1366 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,080 Speaker 1: Have you seen the television commercials since the Black Lives 1367 01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 1: Matter movement rose up? You've seen these CEOs. You're seeing 1368 01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:28,800 Speaker 1: these athletes, news anchors, senators, you see these educators. I'm 1369 01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:33,559 Speaker 1: looking around and I don't I don't feel like everybody 1370 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:38,960 Speaker 1: grew out of it. I feel like educating people for 1371 01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:42,519 Speaker 1: seven eight hours a day from the time they're five 1372 01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,040 Speaker 1: years old to the time they're twenty two has a 1373 01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:51,160 Speaker 1: gigantic effect on how they view the world and how 1374 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:55,360 Speaker 1: they will operate for the rest of their lives. Think 1375 01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:59,880 Speaker 1: how naive that sounds that you can take somebody's into 1376 01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: higher growing years from eight, from from five to twenty 1377 01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 1: two and put them eight hours a day in something 1378 01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:14,080 Speaker 1: and just assume they're gonna get a paycheck and forget 1379 01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:20,040 Speaker 1: all about it. No, they won't train a child in 1380 01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:23,080 Speaker 1: the way he should go, and when he gets older, 1381 01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,720 Speaker 1: he will not stray from it. Right there in the 1382 01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:29,040 Speaker 1: Good Book, I think that's even in the Old Testament, Chris, 1383 01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:32,759 Speaker 1: So you people believe it. You think you can teach 1384 01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:37,400 Speaker 1: someone something until they're twenty two years old and they're 1385 01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,920 Speaker 1: just gonna go, Oh, I don't like these taxes in 1386 01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:44,080 Speaker 1: my check. I think I'll vote Republican. Now that sounds 1387 01:43:44,120 --> 01:44:35,600 Speaker 1: realistic to you, it's not. It's not. Hang on. I 1388 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:40,320 Speaker 1: think people forget, and it's easy to forget. How much 1389 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:45,880 Speaker 1: of what you see out there is organized, funded, paid for. 1390 01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:50,599 Speaker 1: It's not all just organic p or organic movements, college 1391 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:55,000 Speaker 1: college kids going crazy. A lot of this stuff is organized. 1392 01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:59,760 Speaker 1: Joining me now to talk about some New York involvement 1393 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,760 Speaker 1: in Texas. Sheriff Bill Waiver and Sheriff why don't you 1394 01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,599 Speaker 1: elaborate a little what's happening here in Texas and why 1395 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,479 Speaker 1: is it happening? Well, good morning. I think it's happening 1396 01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:14,640 Speaker 1: because of the left agenda of moving left. Here is 1397 01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:20,360 Speaker 1: that the Working Family Party, which is a AOC Congressman 1398 01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:24,120 Speaker 1: Cortez and the squad up there has developed in New 1399 01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:29,000 Speaker 1: York and they are funding several races in Texas to 1400 01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:31,880 Speaker 1: try to bring their New York values to Texas. And 1401 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,719 Speaker 1: they recognize that the sheriff is a very very important 1402 01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,719 Speaker 1: post and they want that changed. And their first agenda 1403 01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:42,920 Speaker 1: after that is to obviously defund the law enforcement, taking 1404 01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:50,200 Speaker 1: funds away from the jail. And it's just accomplishing their agenda. Why, 1405 01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:55,360 Speaker 1: I guess I still struggle with this sheriff. Why who 1406 01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:58,679 Speaker 1: wants to defund the police agenda? What's the end goal 1407 01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 1: with that? Well, I think that as we looked over 1408 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,680 Speaker 1: history of people who have our leadership that has defunded 1409 01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:10,400 Speaker 1: law enforcement. What you do is because in America right now, 1410 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,400 Speaker 1: it's decentralized. It's you know, like in Texas, it's county 1411 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,839 Speaker 1: by county, municipality by municipality where you find law enforcement 1412 01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:21,320 Speaker 1: or mayors in charges or riffs are in charge. And 1413 01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:25,240 Speaker 1: and if you defund the law enforcement and then you 1414 01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:29,960 Speaker 1: reorganize it, you reorganize it under a central power or 1415 01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,519 Speaker 1: leadership so that you would have control from in this 1416 01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:37,800 Speaker 1: from Washington. And you know, we've we've seen this happen 1417 01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,479 Speaker 1: in US in other movements across the country. I mean 1418 01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:46,639 Speaker 1: that was Adolf Hitler's program. Schriff, what changes have you 1419 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:50,479 Speaker 1: seen or heard from the public, not these nutzo groups, 1420 01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:53,519 Speaker 1: But it's been a crazy four years and I'm sure 1421 01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,759 Speaker 1: you obviously have plenty of interaction with the general public. 1422 01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,360 Speaker 1: Are you seeing a change in mood and behavior, use 1423 01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,840 Speaker 1: up down, depression up down? Or people happier sat or 1424 01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 1: what's the status out there? Well? Currently under the pandemic, 1425 01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:11,600 Speaker 1: we have seen depression on the rise. We've seen suicide 1426 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:17,160 Speaker 1: at double numbers, teenagers getting into more trouble, child abuse, 1427 01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 1: of domestic violence. Of this pandemic has had caused havoc 1428 01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 1: in America. When we shut down, when we corner people 1429 01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,720 Speaker 1: are shut down the economy, I think those things are 1430 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:33,439 Speaker 1: apt to happen. How do we change it? Is it 1431 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,960 Speaker 1: getting better? Is it getting worse? I feel like everything 1432 01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:40,839 Speaker 1: is so tense right now. I think everything is tense 1433 01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:43,040 Speaker 1: right now too. And you know, I was at a 1434 01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:45,040 Speaker 1: church service last night and I said, we need to 1435 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 1: start praying for unity at seven or five on Tuesday night. 1436 01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 1: And I think that that one. We've got to open 1437 01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:56,439 Speaker 1: the economies. And I recognize the pandemic still out there, 1438 01:47:56,439 --> 01:47:58,840 Speaker 1: but we've got to get people back to some normalcy. 1439 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,320 Speaker 1: We've got to go to a little league baseball game, 1440 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:03,840 Speaker 1: We've got to go to Friday night football game. That's 1441 01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:07,160 Speaker 1: the way we're built we are very social people, and 1442 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,599 Speaker 1: we've got to figure out how to make those things happen. 1443 01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:12,000 Speaker 1: And you know, we've got to be able to go 1444 01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:17,080 Speaker 1: see Grandma and that the assisted living location. We have 1445 01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:21,679 Speaker 1: got to get back to some normalcy and and I think, 1446 01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's some risk in that, but we've got 1447 01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:28,120 Speaker 1: to do that. I think I think the cure is 1448 01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:32,720 Speaker 1: worse than than the pandemic at this moment, Sheriff, What 1449 01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:36,160 Speaker 1: have you heard from the public about support for law 1450 01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,800 Speaker 1: enforcement in general? It's so easy for people to get 1451 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:43,000 Speaker 1: wrapped up in all these scumbag Antifa, Black Lives Matter groups, 1452 01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 1: cops cops and to blame. And people look at that 1453 01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,519 Speaker 1: and they think, oh, America hates cops now. And I 1454 01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:52,400 Speaker 1: all my cop friends, at least down where I live. 1455 01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:55,559 Speaker 1: They say they've never had so many free pizzas delivered 1456 01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:59,880 Speaker 1: and people showing appreciation for them. What do you see? 1457 01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:03,160 Speaker 1: I see the same thing. The American public, The good, 1458 01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:06,240 Speaker 1: hard working folks of America love the law enforcement. They 1459 01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:08,960 Speaker 1: understand that they are standing on the wall between evil 1460 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,160 Speaker 1: and good, so that they can pursue happiness, so they 1461 01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:14,559 Speaker 1: can be safe in their neighborhood, so that they can 1462 01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,599 Speaker 1: be safe in their schools, and I believe that the 1463 01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:20,519 Speaker 1: majority of America is there, and I certainly believe that 1464 01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:23,000 Speaker 1: in Tarrn County and the greater Fort Worth area that 1465 01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:27,839 Speaker 1: the good people of this community's love their law enforcement 1466 01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:32,599 Speaker 1: and support them. Now Fort Worth, at anybody in Texas, well, 1467 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,960 Speaker 1: for those of you outside of Texas, because this is 1468 01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:37,920 Speaker 1: a national show, you should know it is false that 1469 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,400 Speaker 1: every big city in America is some radical left wing 1470 01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:45,640 Speaker 1: hell hole. Fort Worth, Texas is not that way, but 1471 01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,280 Speaker 1: people from Fort Worth are always worried it's going to 1472 01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:51,400 Speaker 1: go that way. How is it going up there? I 1473 01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,760 Speaker 1: think it's going great. I think we are one of 1474 01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:59,439 Speaker 1: the largest conservative counties in the country. They are the 1475 01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:02,679 Speaker 1: largest in the state. They think larger in the country, 1476 01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:05,519 Speaker 1: and I think it's going well. I think the Fort 1477 01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:10,480 Speaker 1: Worth Ends, the Artictonights and all of our other communities 1478 01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:15,160 Speaker 1: here are doing fabulous stuff and they're great people who 1479 01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:18,559 Speaker 1: want to them just live the American dream Sheriff, could 1480 01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:21,360 Speaker 1: you give people some guidance. I know this sounds basic, 1481 01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:23,680 Speaker 1: and I apologize for as basics as it is, but 1482 01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:27,759 Speaker 1: people some guidance on how to conduct themselves when pulled 1483 01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:32,160 Speaker 1: over by law enforcement. I mean the things I see 1484 01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:35,919 Speaker 1: people do. Absolutely it makes my jaw drop the basics. 1485 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,439 Speaker 1: They clearly have not been taught the basics. Could you 1486 01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:40,760 Speaker 1: maybe give us a thirty second to a minute long 1487 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:46,000 Speaker 1: basic when you're pulled over? Absolutely first things. First, when 1488 01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,080 Speaker 1: you see the red lights behind you, get off the 1489 01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:50,439 Speaker 1: road full over to the right. It may not be 1490 01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:53,000 Speaker 1: about you, they may need around you. But secondly, once 1491 01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,600 Speaker 1: you are pulled over, let's put those hands on the 1492 01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:58,519 Speaker 1: steering wheel, turn on the dome light. And when that 1493 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:02,240 Speaker 1: officer approaches, folks, please just have honey dripping off your 1494 01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,080 Speaker 1: chin and have a mindset of not holding court on 1495 01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,360 Speaker 1: the side of the road, and at that moment be 1496 01:51:08,439 --> 01:51:11,880 Speaker 1: submissive to his authority. If he write you a ticket's 1497 01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:15,280 Speaker 1: that take it up in court. If he asks you questions, 1498 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:18,600 Speaker 1: politely answer them. If he is a jerk or she 1499 01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:21,360 Speaker 1: is a jerk, then report it. We want to know 1500 01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:23,080 Speaker 1: about the people on the side of the road that 1501 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:28,479 Speaker 1: are jerky officers. But if they had the mindset don't 1502 01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,200 Speaker 1: hold court on the side the road, greet these people 1503 01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:34,040 Speaker 1: with honey dripping off your chin, be submissive to the 1504 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:38,559 Speaker 1: authority over you, then that will end great. And then 1505 01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,680 Speaker 1: if there's problems, you're in the stop, then they can 1506 01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:44,639 Speaker 1: report that. And that's the appropriate response that I think 1507 01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:47,040 Speaker 1: that the public could have, and that's what I would 1508 01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:51,719 Speaker 1: do if I were pulled over Cherff. Why are domestic violence, 1509 01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:57,920 Speaker 1: domestic disturbance, domestic abuse incidents so dangerous? So often when 1510 01:51:57,960 --> 01:51:59,840 Speaker 1: we hear about the worst thing happened, which is a 1511 01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:02,080 Speaker 1: lot enforcement officer are getting killed on the job, So 1512 01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 1: often it's in response to some sort of domestic call. 1513 01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:10,080 Speaker 1: Can you walk us through why, yes, sir. Is a 1514 01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,879 Speaker 1: lot of times in these domestics we see their control 1515 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:18,200 Speaker 1: substance or alcoholism that have been introduced to a fire 1516 01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:20,320 Speaker 1: going on, if you will. So that's been the gasoline 1517 01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:22,400 Speaker 1: on the fire a lot of times. So what we're 1518 01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:25,519 Speaker 1: finding people with domestic is going on is of course 1519 01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:29,160 Speaker 1: very very high emotional state of people. And two is 1520 01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:32,960 Speaker 1: is that they are running out and losing hope and 1521 01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,320 Speaker 1: so they see everybody that you don't want. In domestics, 1522 01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,120 Speaker 1: each party wants to be in control, and when law 1523 01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:43,000 Speaker 1: enforcement shows up, that is absolutely is that they know 1524 01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: that they're going to take control and they're not going 1525 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:47,960 Speaker 1: to release that what little bit of control they have 1526 01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,680 Speaker 1: in life left they're not going to release it, and 1527 01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:55,200 Speaker 1: then we see a combative situation. Is there a way 1528 01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:59,760 Speaker 1: I know obviously you would know it. How do we 1529 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,200 Speaker 1: m things down in this society when when riots break out, 1530 01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:06,640 Speaker 1: when something bad happens, is it just simply empowering law 1531 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,600 Speaker 1: enforcement to stop it in its tracks? Is there is 1532 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:13,240 Speaker 1: there some something that should be done differently? Well, I 1533 01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:17,760 Speaker 1: would say that if we have a riot situation, at 1534 01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:21,400 Speaker 1: the first sign of the right, the first agitation that right, 1535 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:25,320 Speaker 1: law enforcement needs to have the ability to step in 1536 01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:29,280 Speaker 1: and take that person out of the situation, whether they 1537 01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:32,280 Speaker 1: go to jail or they get them out of that situation. 1538 01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:35,880 Speaker 1: But when we have these agitators in these groups, we 1539 01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:37,800 Speaker 1: need to be able to arrest them, and we need 1540 01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:41,000 Speaker 1: the political forces behind us, whether it's the mayor of 1541 01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:43,799 Speaker 1: the city, whether it's the county judge or the governor. 1542 01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:47,320 Speaker 1: We need them to support that position of stopping it 1543 01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,960 Speaker 1: in its cracks so it doesn't go further. Sheriff Bill 1544 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,120 Speaker 1: Wavern outstanding, Thank you sir. We want to have you 1545 01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:58,240 Speaker 1: back on. Thank you sir.
