1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that the holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important, I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. Is it Thursday? 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: There is no time anymore? Time and space are all lost, Chris. 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: It's weird, right, I mean, I even get to come 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: to the studio and do the show so I'm not 23 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: stuck in the house like the wife like most of you. 24 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: And still I asked her last night, I'm like, was it? 25 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: Is it Tuesday? She said, I'm actually not sure. Oh gosh, 26 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: these are wild times, man, wild times. All right. What 27 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: is a legacy? What is it that you leave behind? 28 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Is it the totality of your life? Is it the 29 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: high points of your life? Is at the low point 30 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: of your life? Let me tell you a little story. 31 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: December fifth, eighteen thirty nine, America, Ohio. A little child 32 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: was born, a boy born into a working class family, 33 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: wealthy by no means, and I mean by no means wealthy, 34 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: and was taught about toughness at a very very early age. 35 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: Father was all about it. Father was a blacksmith. You 36 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: will be tough. Life is hard. And this boy decided 37 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: he was going to make something of himself. He was 38 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: going to be something, He was going to be somebody. 39 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: Then he worked his way through life. Used to carry 40 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: coal around with his brother. In in case you're not aware, 41 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: working with coal work, any kind of mining work, working 42 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: with coal, even if you're one of the old people. 43 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Used to shovel coal onto steamers boats or trains. It 44 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: is hot, brutal, backbreaking work. This is not a lazy 45 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: individual from a very early age and gets into West Point, 46 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: gets into freaking West Point to serve his country. Well. 47 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: He was a bit of a rebel at West Point. 48 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: There were thirty four people in his graduating class. He 49 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: was number thirty four. One person later said that it 50 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: was all right whether he knew his lesson or not, 51 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: he simply didn't allow it to trouble him. Apparently he 52 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: had the way of thinking that some of you may 53 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: have im not saying it's right, not saying it's wrong. 54 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: It's probably not ideal as far as your mother would 55 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: be concerned, but reality of life. They say, he had 56 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: the idea that, look, nobody remembers the people in the middle. 57 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: If I can't be the head of the class, which 58 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: I certainly cannot be, I might as will be the 59 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: bottom of it. And how it worked then and how 60 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: it works today when it comes to the military academies 61 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: is this. They're always looking for top of the class guy, 62 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: and top of the class guy gets the choice cherry 63 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: assignments where they put the next generation of upcoming leaders 64 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: who will who will carry America's military future. That's where 65 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: you want the four point oh guy captain to the 66 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: football team. This is America's warrior. Bottom of the class guy. 67 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: Even though even bottom of your class is pretty impressive 68 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: if you actually graduate from a military academy. They're very, 69 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: very very rigorous. Bottom of the class guy. He guards 70 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: a radio tower in Alaska. He just does. Now, that's 71 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: obviously an exaggeration, but probably not much of one. They 72 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: assume that guy is a dirt ball. They don't want 73 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: this guy to go anywhere. They don't think he'll go anywhere. 74 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll prove us wrong. Is put him up by 75 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: the radio tower, please, And that's what they did with Custer. 76 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: Just go go hide somewhere. Only the Civil War breaks 77 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: out and now we need every man on the battlefield. 78 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: And Custer turns into a beast. And isn't all this 79 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: that I'm describing to you? Shouldn't it all be Custer's legacy. 80 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. So he rides 81 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: out into the middle of a river. Why does he 82 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: do this because there's a general sitting there, and the 83 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: general it was, it's actually General Bernard. They're looking around. 84 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: He's under General Bernard and he's looking around, and he's 85 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: looking at this river, and this general's handwringing, and this 86 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: is you'll see this so much in the military. He 87 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: doesn't know. Wow, man, I can't what should we should 88 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: we do here? I'm not sure a way around. And 89 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: the general actually says, I wish I knew how deep 90 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: the river was. And Custer, because it's Custer, and that's 91 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: part of how you finished last in your class, but 92 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: it's part of how you do other great things too, 93 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: takes off on his horse and rides out into the 94 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: middle of the river and turns around and says, that's 95 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: how deep it is, mister general. Kind of awesome. Also, 96 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: probably not going to get you promoted, and it wouldn't 97 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: get you promoted except Custer was a beast. Custer was bold, 98 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: would be the understatement of the century. He was obviously 99 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: a cavalry commander. And the guy would he would lead 100 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: charges that were bordering on suicidal and he would lead them. 101 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: I can't stress that point enough. And as if I 102 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: can take just a brief side note here, that means 103 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: everything to guys in the military. If you lead from 104 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: the front, there is nothing worse. And you figure out 105 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: these people in about five seconds. Then your new commander, 106 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: your new platoon sergeant, whatever it may be, who hides 107 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: in the rear with the gear when you have to 108 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: go do dangerous stuff, and you know what, you don't 109 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: care at all for that guy. However, would you have 110 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: one who was the first through the door, you would 111 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: lay down and die for that guy. I can't put 112 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: into words how strongly that feeling, how strong that feeling 113 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: is of loyalty to a commander who leads from the front. 114 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: You will accept. And this sounds crazy, I understand that 115 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: you will accept borderlines suicidal orders from your commander if 116 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: he's going to be standing right there beside you. You 117 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: just will. There's a human psychology to this or where 118 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: you don't, you won't throw yourself into it where someone 119 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: else is just saying, screw you. Go on. If he's 120 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: there with you, all right, let's go die together, sir. 121 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: Let's do it. And I won't break down each in 122 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: every individual battle. But there were times where Custer would 123 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: set up an ambush and he needed bait, and this 124 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: bait was going to be in serious, serious peril of 125 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: not waking up again the next day to bait the 126 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: rebels into it. Custer didn't look at the eighteen year 127 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: old private and say go get him. Custer got on 128 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: his horse and said I got it. Almost died multiple times, 129 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: horse shot out from under him. His men rally and 130 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: have to pick him up before a rebel. In one incident, 131 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: Custer's horses shot out from under him and a rebel's 132 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: about to shoot him. And another one a customer's guys 133 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: come up and kill the rebel right before he kills Guster. 134 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: His guys loved him. The dude was suicidally brave and 135 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: led from the front. He would jump up in the 136 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: middle of battle. When this is an exact quote, come on, boys, 137 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: I'll lead your list this time, and He'll just charge 138 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: right into the enemy line. Dude was born to fight. 139 00:10:35,480 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Is that his legacy hang on? Custer digs his way 140 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: out from a hard scrabble beginning West Point War hero. 141 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: Finally the Civil War ends. By the way, did you 142 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: know that Custer was at the Appomattox Courthouse where Lee 143 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: signed the surrender to Grant one of the most famous 144 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: events in US history, and Custer was there. Didn't know that, 145 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: did you? Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant Captain Major jan The 146 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: guy was a beast, leaves the army because the civil 147 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: war ends, thinks about running for Congress, messages around with 148 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: a couple of things, and finally they're having an Indian problem. 149 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: And I'm skipping over a lot. They're having an Indian 150 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: problem out west, having trouble getting things reined in, having 151 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: trouble learning how to fight these Indians. These Indians won't 152 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: stand and fight, which let's just let's take a quick 153 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: break here for a moment. Indians had to fight that way. Now, 154 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: they love every big army in the history of mankind, 155 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: every gigantic, powerful army that has its opponent outmanned and outgunned, 156 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: whines about how the other army won't stand and fight 157 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: with them. Every army, We've done it, everybody's done it. 158 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: The British did it well against us in the American Revolution. 159 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: They won't even stand and fight. Yeah, I'm not going 160 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: to commit suicide. Indians were not going to line up 161 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: like we lined up and charge in when they didn't 162 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: have the men, the bullets, the food, anything else to 163 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: replace the ones they lost. Every lost warrior was precious 164 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: to them, so of course they didn't stand and fight. 165 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna raid as many things as they can hit 166 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: you and then leave Indians, with the exception of the 167 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: story we're about to approach in a very few other times, 168 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: never really fought in mass. You do enough reading on 169 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: the Indian Wars and the various fights between the Indians 170 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: and US. I mean they were small. How many times 171 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: have I talked to you already about ancient battles or 172 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean even World War two or Napoleon, whatever it 173 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: may be. And we're talking ten thousand, there are forty 174 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: thousand here lined up against fifty thousand. You'd never see 175 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: numbers even a fraction of that against the Indians. And 176 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: as a result, the army was frustrated, especially because an 177 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: army is well, an army isn't that light on its feet. 178 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: It's not like a private company Armies, as the old 179 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: saying goes, this is not my saying. They tend to 180 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: always be equipped to fight the last war instead of 181 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: the next war. Who saw this World War one? Saw 182 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: this in World War two? I'm gonna see it in 183 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: the next one. How many times have we talked about China. 184 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: I'll break this down a little later on in the show, 185 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: but how we're actually not in any way equipped to 186 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: go after China militarily. I'll explain it a little while 187 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: I digress. Either way, they can't get a hold of 188 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: these stack on Indians. They're raiding supply lines, they're going 189 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: after trains, they're killing settlers, they're doing these other things 190 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: that we can't fight. That they won't stand and fight. 191 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: We need somebody brave, we need somebody unorthodox, what they 192 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: call Guster. They formed a little regiment maybe you've heard 193 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: of before, called the seventh caval Cavalry Regiment. Tuster was 194 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: the lieutenant colonel. Oh I forgot to mention he loved 195 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: his wife so much he went a wall just to 196 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: go hang out with her for a while, and they 197 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: welcomed him back because he was a beast. Now we 198 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: have this area in South Dakota called the Black Hills. 199 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: They call it the Black Hills because of the way 200 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: the sun reflects off it. At a certain point, I'm 201 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: not going to go into all that artsy stuff, Chris. 202 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: We don't have time for that on this show. But 203 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: this is, if you believe them, a sacred area for 204 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: the Lakota, for the Sioux. Now when I say if 205 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: you believe them, I'm not trying to be insulting these 206 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: people all I mean, it's the condition of mankind. That's 207 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: why I never demonize the Indians. I never demonize America. 208 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: It's just history, is what it is. People are good 209 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: and bad, but individuals are both good and bad. I'm 210 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: mostly bad, but you're probably a good. You know. Breakup 211 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: of both Indians were the same. There was a we 212 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: don't believe in landownership. This is our sacred hunting grounds. 213 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh shut up. They were killing each other all the time. 214 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: And if they could, if they could wipe out an 215 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: entire tribe that was in an area they loved, they 216 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: would do it in a heartbeat. And so the sue 217 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: they pass on these things, of course that every professor 218 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: repeats breathlessly today. This was the area where they believed 219 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: earth began. The Steue just got there. They just ran 220 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: someone else out of the place. Let's dial that down 221 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: on ash. Either way, the Sioux were in awesome. What 222 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite Indian tribes ever is you 223 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: can imagine, I'm an Indian tribe fan. I just I 224 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: find their history fascinating. Well, they'd run some people out 225 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: of there, and now they kind of ran things in 226 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: the Black Hills them and the Cheyenne. Them and the 227 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: Cheyenne were partners, and we basically had told them, oh, yeah, 228 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: you know what, you can have the Black Hills, no problem. 229 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: And then someone discovered gold in the Black Hills, and 230 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: then we said, you know what, look, this is obviously 231 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: your land, but we're going to just have a little expedition, 232 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: an army expedition, just to kind of do a geographical study, 233 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: and if we happen to find some gold there, we'll 234 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: deal with that as the time comes. Long story short, Yeah, 235 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: we wanted them out of the Black Hills. That town, 236 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: that wild town, Deadwood. You maybe you've seen the HBO series, 237 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: that gold rush town that wasn't an official town. Yeah, 238 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: it came because of this, because of the gold rush 239 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: in the Black Hills. And as you may imagine, wor 240 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: warrior like people like the Sioux and Cheyenne did not 241 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: take kindly to this. All the Indian names you would know, 242 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: or at least a bunch of them, sitting bull, crazy horse, 243 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: they got together and said, no, no, it's time for war. Well, 244 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: they did one of the things the Indian tribes could 245 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: never really do and hadn't really done very many times. 246 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: The Iroquois did it. Others did it, but they joined forces, 247 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: which is what the Indians always should have done to 248 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: have any prayer sess. Custer wasn't used to anybody joining forces. 249 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Who's used to fighting a village of one hundred warriors 250 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: and a hundred women. I'm not impugning Custer's bravery, but 251 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: that's what he was used to fighting. You gotta try 252 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: to find him in a village. What you need to 253 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: do is find an Indian scout who will locate the 254 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: village for you. Charge in, take him unaware, kill as 255 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: many people as you can, capture some others. That's how 256 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: Custer fought Indians, and he had done this repeatedly. Unso, 257 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: Custer rides off, and the numbers are in dispute here, 258 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: which is really weird to me because it's the army, 259 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: so you would think a relatively modern army you would 260 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: have exact numbers. Why don't I know how many people 261 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: Custer rode with? I don't know. You can read ten 262 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: different things, and I have on the thing, and the 263 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: one a person will tell you five hundred, another will 264 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: tell you seven hundred, another will tell you nine hundred. 265 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: Let's call it six Hundred's that right? I don't know. 266 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: And the same with the Indian account. Although you can 267 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: understand why there's you wouldn't have exact numbers. But I'll 268 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: get to their numbers in a minute. So Custer rides 269 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: off and he's hunting for some Indians to go after, 270 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: gets word that there's a little Indian settlement, a large one. 271 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: Custer again is told that there's a large one. He 272 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: has not told how many. If you're George Custer and 273 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: you've never seen more than one or two hundred Indians 274 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: into a place at a time, large means a couple hundred, 275 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Not trying to just make excuses for the guy. 276 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: But isn't that what it means? Only there wasn't a hundred, 277 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: and there wasn't two hundred, and it wasn't half women 278 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: and children. Custer took his seventh cavalry and he rode 279 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: down towards this village, and there were about two thousand 280 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: armed and angry Sue and Cheyenne braves waiting for him. 281 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: Hang on, Jesse, Kelly. They ride down towards this village, 282 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: and they're going to do well what Custer has done before. Remember, 283 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: it's a large encampment. He is not told that there 284 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: are two to three to four to five thousand. Again, 285 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: when I say the numbers are all over the place, 286 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: they're all over the place. Nobody knows there are thousands. 287 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: We know that he's not told there are thousands of 288 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: experienced Lakota and Cheyenne warriors down there by the way. 289 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: Quick side note, do you remember that whole conversation we 290 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: just had about ten minutes ago about how I don't 291 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: do this, you know, saints and demons thing when it 292 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: comes to militaries and Indians in America and the army 293 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: and all these other things. You know why, you know 294 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: that we don't believe in landownership. Do you know who 295 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: led Custer down towards that encampment? The Crow Indians. Do 296 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: you know why the Crow Indians led Custer down to 297 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: that encampment because it was their land and the Sioux 298 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: just ran them off. It's you don't like it, you 299 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: don't have to like it, but that's the history of 300 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: the world. It's the strong dominating the week. We try 301 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: to avoid that as much as possible. But let's stop 302 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: being a child. Your anti American trash college professor didn't 303 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: tell you the truth people or people. The Indians were 304 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: just as wonderful and just as terrible as the Americans 305 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: in every possible way. We just won. That's just all 306 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: let us do it. I guess I shouldn't say Americans. 307 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: They're as American as anybody else, as the US Army. 308 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: Either way, I digress. They ride down, and this is 309 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: where our story ends. Custer splits his forces again, as 310 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: he's done before. He essentially wants one part of his 311 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: army to ride through one side of the camp and 312 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: the other part of his army to ride through the 313 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: opposite sign. He wants to have a big old Indian 314 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: sandwich with them in the middle, and his armies the bread. 315 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Only there are some studs like crazy Horse, and there 316 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: are a lot of them, and they beat the living 317 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: crap out a custo. The first people who get there 318 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: are not Custer, he I believe it was. Reno sets 319 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: up a skirmish line, and a skirmish line is this. Essentially, 320 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: these guys are all mounted. This is a cavalry unit. 321 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: They're all mounted. They get off their horses. Every fourth 322 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: man holds the reins on the other horses. You don't 323 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: fight on horseback unless you're charging through with a saber. 324 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: You if you're setting up a skirmish line, you don't 325 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: fight on horseback. And they would line up in a line. 326 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: It's just look, it's not more complicated than it sounds. 327 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: And they start firing away, and the Indians are firing back, 328 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of them, and there are 329 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: a lot of them, and they outflank the soldiers because again, 330 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: these are not these are not inexperienced wars they're fighting. 331 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: These are the best of the best and the angriest 332 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: of the angry Indians that are left. And they wipe 333 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: out or at least cause a retreat of this first group. 334 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: So if Custer starts to charge through, and Custer doesn't 335 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: get much further either, and he's like, oh crap, And 336 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: it ends up with Custer up on essentially a bluff 337 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: where he had to retreat to soldiers throwing down their 338 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: rifles in terror and running the other way, Soldiers shooting 339 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: their own horses so they can lay down behind the 340 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: horse as cover as they fight the Indians, the Indians 341 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: sending rifle fire back. The Indians extremely experienced in this 342 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: kind of warfare, laying down and essentially making their arrows 343 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: artillery rounds. They would lay down and they would shoot them, 344 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: not straight up in the air, but at an extreme angle, 345 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: so arrows would rain down on the soldiers who were 346 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: who were fighting, and Custer died and pretty much all 347 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: of his men died. And what's kind of a cool 348 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: part of the story. The Lakoda were not torturers like 349 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: a lot of the Indian tribes were, especially the eastern 350 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Woodlands tribes. That's a that's something from the movies. The 351 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: Apaches were big on torture. The Comanches were big on torture. 352 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: That's you know, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, the northeast big 353 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: on torture. The Lakoda were not. But they were big 354 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: on mutilating corpses after death. They were big on that, 355 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: which they always do that as a tradition as part 356 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: of a terror thing. But I don't really care what 357 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: you do to me after I die. So they went 358 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: around the battlefield and they would slice off scalps, and 359 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: they would slice off your nether regions and do various 360 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: other things too, And oftentimes it was the women who 361 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: did it. They would send the women out to do this, 362 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: and look, angry women. You just watched your husband get 363 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: shot by a US soldier. She's going to go out 364 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: and as part of you know, a little bit of 365 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: venting session, they would mutilate. And these soldiers were mutilated 366 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: except for Custer. Custer was not mutilated. Custer had a 367 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: bullet wound in his chest and one in his temple. 368 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: And it is said, and you never know how much 369 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: of these legends are actually true or not, it is 370 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: said he laid there with a little smirk on his face. 371 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: Now that is in very, very brief overview of the 372 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: fascinating life of George Armstrong Custer. What did you know 373 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: about Custer before I started talking about him? Obviously I 374 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: have a bunch of history freaks in my audience like 375 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: I am, so I'm sure many knew more or no 376 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: more than even I just said. But eight of you. 377 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: You knew about the Battle of the litter Big Horn. 378 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Did you know he was a Civil War legend? You 379 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: know about West Point? You know about it, how much 380 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: he loved his wife? Did you know about his hard 381 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: scrabble beginnings? No, you didn't, and why don't you? Because 382 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: the truth is this, Your legacy can be many things 383 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: to you. It can be many things, to your life, 384 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: to your loved ones, your wife, husband, kids. It only 385 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: takes one big mistake, and that's your legacy in the 386 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: minds of the population. It only takes one big mistake 387 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: to wipe out everything good you've ever done. You're going 388 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: to hate this what I have to say next. Here's 389 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: Donald Trump last night talking about Governor Kemp opening up Georgia. 390 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: Some of the governors have done a fantastic job working 391 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: with us.
