1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: in my life. This thing. I had it plugged in

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: for two hours. I came back in the room and

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed

14

20
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: good and bad? Is it the destination that matters? Or

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: is it the journey. You know, the old life's not

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: about the journey. It's about the destination or vice versa.

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Everybody says it both ways. No one can decide what

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: life's actually about. But I'm asking you, if you have

25
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: a bad cause, an evil cause, but you do some

26
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: good things, or do things for the right reasons, are

27
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: you good? If you have a good cause, a great cause,

28
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: but you do terrible things, are you bad? Is there

29
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: an answer to that? I'm gonna tell you about just

30
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: a few people briefly, and then we'll get into the

31
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: whole thing. I want you to picture this. I want

32
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: you to picture there's a man. He is an older gentleman.

33
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: And look, we're all gonna get old one day, Lord Willing,

34
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: I should say, And you ever talk to somebody who's older.

35
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I do all the time because I love perspective and

36
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: wisdom on life and things. And they all, I mean,

37
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: for the most part, they have a good added too

38
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: on everything. You don't run into really that many bitter

39
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: old people. Oh they're out there, but for the most part,

40
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the bitter ones died young. Nothing. He'll kill you faster,

41
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: but you get a lot far enough into talking to him,

42
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and they'll all eventually tell you, hey, body isn't what

43
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: it used to be man, And half the time it's

44
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek and they get it. Ah, had had

45
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: to have my hip replaces and body don't ask forever,

46
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's always that kind of talk. Now, I

47
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: want you to imagine there's an older gentleman sitting there

48
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: and sadly he had recently had a stroke. Terrible thing,

49
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: terrible thing. I've lost relatives to it, terrible thing. I'm

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: sure many of you have been affected by a stroke

51
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: in one way or the other. And this old man

52
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: who recently had a stroke, his voice was shot. As

53
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's not exactly a mystery. You can lose

54
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: a lot of functionality with a stroke. We've all seen

55
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: that sad story before, right, older person stroke, just not

56
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: functioning right anymore. And someone stands up in front of

57
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: this old man who had a stroke, who can't really talk,

58
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: and he mocks him to his face about how he talks.

59
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Remember that, we'll come right back to that one. I

60
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: want you to picture five men creeping through the woods

61
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. These five men, they

62
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: come across a home, a family home. This is not

63
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: a police station. Up ank a military fortress. This is

64
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: a private home out in the countryside. These five men,

65
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: would you call him bandits, crooks, criminals, pull out their weapons,

66
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: charge up to the door, pound on the door of

67
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: this family home. Family opens up, scared to death. There

68
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: is a father in there with his wife and three sons.

69
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: And while she screams and cries and begs for mercy,

70
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: you take the father and two of the three sons

71
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: and you drag them out of the home into the

72
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: woods and you slit their throats. Are you good or

73
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: are you bad? Tell you what. We'll come back to

74
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: that one, just one more of these. You're a working

75
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: class dude, as so many of you are. You're just

76
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: a working class dude. It's lived most of my life.

77
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: Maybe you do construction, maybe you got you know, middle

78
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: management somewhere or whatever. You're just he's working stiff like

79
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the rest of us. And you get word on your

80
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: way home today, wife calls your baby. Turn on the news.

81
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: You turn on the news and you find out, oh

82
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, Mexico is invading. They're gonna be here soon.

83
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: And you race home and you you get your wife

84
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and kids, you know, as far away from the Mexican

85
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: border as possible to keep them safe. And you cruise

86
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: back to your house and you get your weapons in

87
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: your arm up and you find out, you get word

88
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: from one of your buddies, My goodness, the Mexican Army

89
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: is they're at our town. They're at the border of

90
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: our town. Hey, everybody, let's go. We gotta we gotta

91
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: stop them. And you get out there twenty of your buddies,

92
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: and you decide you're gonna fight as hard as you

93
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: can to protect your home, protect all the families that

94
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: are still there. Are you a good person or a

95
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: bad person. Let's rewind a bit. The United States of

96
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: America at one point in time had what was called

97
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: the Missouri Compromise line. And this is the deal you've

98
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: heard of, the Louisiana purchase, undoubtedly for those who haven't,

99
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: very very briefly, allow me just to explain. We bought

100
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the entire Western United States of America pretty much with

101
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the snap of our fingers. Not it wasn't the whole West.

102
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to go into all the details

103
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: on the Louisiana purchase. Let's just say with one purchase

104
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: of land, we doubled the size of the United States

105
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: of America. We bought in human amounts of land uncharted territory. Basically,

106
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: we had to go explore it. We had to figure

107
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: out ways to settle it, divide it up into stays,

108
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But hey, man, we're in

109
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: the money right Only this is a time in the

110
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: United States of America America when I mean we understand divide.

111
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Don't let people tell you today. Oh gosh, we're not

112
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: divided yet. Oh we are very much divided. But this

113
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: was a time in the United States of America where

114
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: these divides were bad, really really bad. And it was

115
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 1: the slavery anti slavery divide. You know, the North didn't

116
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: want slavery, the South wanted slavery, and in many cases

117
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: had to have slavery because it was upholding their economy.

118
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: But even that, it's complicated. You see, because we like

119
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: to make things simple. It makes it easier for us

120
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: to retain information, It makes it easier for us to

121
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: explain away things. These are the good guys, these are

122
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: the bad guys. I grew up watching John Wayne movies

123
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: with my dad. It was very clear, well, obviously John

124
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Wayne is the good guy. Those ruffians who kidnaped that

125
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: poor lady and the kids and the bad guys, and

126
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: John Wayne's gonna go kill the ball and save her

127
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and give her a hug and say goodbye. There's good

128
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: guys in bad That's how we like things, right. But

129
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: the Civil War I've always found and the things leading

130
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: up to the Civil War, which is where we are now.

131
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: We actually won't get to the Civil War today once

132
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: you actually dig into it. There is no better way

133
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: to describe the Civil War, the divide of the country,

134
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: the good guys and bad guys, than by simply saying

135
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:51,359
Speaker 1: it's complicated. It's complicated. Those Southerners, the pro slavery Southerners.

136
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: You know what percentage of people in the South owned slaves?

137
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Less than two We like to picture it, right, I've

138
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: done the same. He learned about the Civil War and

139
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: has racist scumback Southerners and citizen and they were just

140
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of poor farm boys for the most poor,

141
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: the Northerners, right, Saint Abe Lincoln, all about freedom. We

142
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: are gonna liberate the black man. Abe Lincoln was an abolitionist,

143
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: but he fought the Civil War because they succeded, not

144
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: because of slavery. Hang on It's complicated, The Jesse Kelly Show.

145
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: It's complicated. It's always complicated. Anyway, back to my Missouri

146
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: compromise line. Eventually they came up with a compromise because

147
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, you can add this state, but you better

148
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: add that state. We added Maine to the Union, and

149
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: the South was like, whoa, We're not gonna get voted

150
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: out because you're adding a bunch of anti slavery states.

151
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: We need a state too, the south of state. It's

152
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: at work. And during that compromise, we came up with

153
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: another compromise, and this was set in stone. This was

154
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, this is basically law. Was the thirty six

155
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: thirty parallel and it was the Missouri compromise line, and

156
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: it said, hey, anything north of this line in America

157
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: is going to be anti slavery, and then south you

158
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: could be pro slavery. Not exactly a wonderful setup if

159
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: you're a freaking slave getting whipped every day. But we

160
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: were trying to navigate our way through it, and these

161
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: were what's that word I keep using today, complicated times,

162
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: which brings us to Kansas and the Kansas Nebraska Act.

163
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: The Kansas Nebraska Act was essentially this If people ask

164
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: you how did the Civil War start? Well, for one,

165
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: as you can probably tell, especially if you listen to

166
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: my show, every Day, history is a bit muddled. Everything

167
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: runs together. When did something start and when did something stop?

168
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: There are a million answers for when anything started and

169
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: when it actually stopped? Did World War two actually stop?

170
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: We kept fighting one of our worst enemies, and frankly

171
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: still are to this day. When did it start? Civil War?

172
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Did it start at Fort Sumter? I always say it

173
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: started with the Kansas Nebraska Act, which essentially said, all right,

174
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: that Missouri Compromise line, it's kind of gone. And this

175
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: new state of Kansas we have, you know what, we

176
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: don't need to decide now federally whether it's going to

177
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: be a pro slave state or anti slave state. Let's

178
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: just make Kansas the state and we'll let them decide.

179
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: Sounds totally fair, right, Remember I mean states rights. You're

180
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: all about them, aren't you. I certainly am state can

181
00:13:53,040 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: decide for themselves. Except it's going to be a problem.

182
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: You see, now you have decided that Kansas is going

183
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: to tip the balance one way or the other for

184
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: pro slavery or anti slavery, and people began to flock there.

185
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: Anti slavery, hardcore abolitionist people would flock there trying to

186
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: make sure they could vote in their state legislature. Pro

187
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: slavery people began to flock there, trying to vote in

188
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: their state legislature. Now I know what you're thinking, Jesse. Well,

189
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: obviously the anti slavery people all those are the good guys,

190
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: and the pro slavery people are the bad guys. Well,

191
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: in this case, you would kind of be right about

192
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: the pro slavery people. If you find yourself moving to Kansas,

193
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: specifically so you can own another human being like cattle,

194
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: that's not necessarily a great moral position to be in.

195
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: But back to the anti slavery people, do you know

196
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: what the majority of them were, Remember those Saint Northerners, right,

197
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: all of them abolitionists, believing in the rights of the individual.

198
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: Most of them were free soilers. A free soiler was

199
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: somebody who didn't necessarily give a crap about slavery. They

200
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: just feared, and rightly so. But they just feared large

201
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: southern plantation owners would gobble up all the available land

202
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't have any Again, it's complicated, and I'm

203
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: sure you've heard the term. If you don't already know

204
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this, all of this kicked off

205
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Bleeding Kansas. Bleeding Kansas was terrible. It wasn't It wasn't

206
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, tens of thousands of deaths, like so many

207
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: of the ancient battles and things we talked about on

208
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: the show. But it was American on American violence as

209
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: they tried to decide who would try to decide who

210
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: would rule that state, and there was all kinds of

211
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: illegal voting. At one point they took a census of

212
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: two thousand people. Well, the census said, hey, we got

213
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: two thousand voters here, and then they had an election

214
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: to decide the state legislature, and six thousand votes rolled in.

215
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: People would cross the borders on both sides and vote

216
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: much easier to vote illegally back then. And those and

217
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: the Southerners, those dirty Nazi Confederates, right, they had all

218
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: these quote bad guys like Quantrill. You've probably heard of

219
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: Quantrill's raiders. That's where Jesse James learned to fight. He

220
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: would ride in and rob people and murder people on

221
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: behalf of the South, those dirty Southern murderers, except the

222
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: North did it too. You know the Kansas University of Kansas.

223
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: You know what their mascot is, Chris. It's called the Jayhawk.

224
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Do you know where they got that term from? Jay Hawkers?

225
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: They were the antislavery Northerners who robbed and murdered and stole.

226
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember when we talked in the very very

227
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: beginning about a man who snuck through the woods and

228
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: dragged a father and sons out of his home in

229
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: front of his screaming, crying wife and slit their throats

230
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: in the woods with swords. That man was a Northerner.

231
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: That man was John Brown. That man, in case you

232
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know who John Brown is, is the most famous

233
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: abolitionist of all time. Not long after this, he actually

234
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: led what he thought was going to be a big

235
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: expedition down south to free the slaves. Failed horrifically, but

236
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: the man is a legend to this day. Frederick Douglas

237
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: himself practically worshiped John Brown or his commitment to freeing

238
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: the slaves. But John Brown yanked some people out of

239
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the home and slit their throats in the middle of

240
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: the night. It's complicated. Do you remember the Senator I

241
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: told you about the guy who stood up in front

242
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: of someone else and mocked the old man who had

243
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: a stroke and couldn't speak. Will the guy doing the mocking.

244
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: His name was Charles Sumner in the United States Senator,

245
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: and he was a hardcore abolitionist who wanted the slaves free.

246
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: And the man he was mocking his name was Andrew Butler,

247
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: a fellow senator from South Carolina, and he was pro slavery.

248
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: Just got more complicated, didn't it. Well, I mean we

249
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: can mock Southerners. We can mock pro slavery guys. Quick

250
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: side note on that. You've probably heard of it. If not,

251
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: you will now Andrew Butler, the old man with a

252
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: stroke who got made fun of on the Senate floor. Yeah,

253
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: he had a cousin whose name was Preston Brooks. He

254
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: was a US congressman, also from the South. Obviously, he

255
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: tracked down Charles Sumner at his desk a few days

256
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: later and almost beat him to death with a cane.

257
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: He beat him so badly he broke the cane. He

258
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: then essentially resigns, goes back and says, I'll stand before

259
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: the people of my district to see whether they support

260
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: me or not. He was not only reelected overwhelmingly, they

261
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: mailed him over a hundred canes to replace the one

262
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: he beat the other one with complicated enough for you. Yet,

263
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: remember the Mexican army analogy I did. Do you know what?

264
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: They said? At least one Southerner in Tennessee said, as

265
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: the Northern Army invaded, he's not some slave owner. He

266
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: can't doesn't know ayning about the Constitution, and he danger

267
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: doesn't own a black person or really anything else. And

268
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: they capture the Confederate soldier and they asked him, dude,

269
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: what are you doing fighting for this? You don't know

270
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: anything about states rights or anything that or slaves. You

271
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: don't know what? What are you doing fighting out here?

272
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: And he looked at him right in the eye and said,

273
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: playing his day. Well, you're down here. You invaded my place.

274
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: I didn't come to your place. Remember something, This is

275
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: just one tiny example of a million in that war,

276
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: and of a trillion throughout history. Remember something. It's very

277
00:20:36,520 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: rarely black and white. It's complicated angels and demons, good

278
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: and bad. Remember something, Remember this as we go through

279
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: a pandemic, this recession, depression, whatever it is we're about

280
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: to tackle, as we go through all these things. The

281
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: reason I love history so much, well, a couple of reasons.

282
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: The reason for one of the reasons I love history

283
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: so much is, look, the stories are amazing? Are these

284
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: not amazing stories? Two? I like to feel like I'm

285
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: wiser today than I was yesterday. And whenever I feel

286
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: like I've learned something else, I like that. And three

287
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: because all ties into today, either directly or with a

288
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: lesson you can learn because as the Good Book says,

289
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: there is nothing new under the sun. And as I

290
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: say that, let me say this, even today you're good

291
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: guys and bad guys. It's complicated. We haven't come out

292
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: of that. We haven't advanced past that period of time

293
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: where human beings are complicated and causes are complicated. Let

294
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: me back to the question I asked you at the

295
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: very beginning. Is it the cause or the things you

296
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: do in the name of the cause. Do you have

297
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: a good answer for that? Because everybody thinks they do

298
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: right off the bat until you get into it right Well,

299
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: when you ask somebody, are you pro or anti slavery,

300
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Lord Willing, the answer is anti slavery. Would you ask

301
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: somebody if it's okay to drag an innocent father and

302
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: sons out of their home in front of their wife

303
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: and slit their throats in the name of being anti slavery.

304
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: It gets a little more complicated, does it not. I

305
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: would never want to be one of the pro slavery

306
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: guys bunch of Nazis. Well, yeah, I would like that

307
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: very much to not be my legacy either. But what

308
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: uniform would I be wearing if a foreign army was

309
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: invading mine? Would they considered to be countries back then?

310
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: Understand that, right, It's complicated. They viewed states rights as

311
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: everything back then. And yes, there were a bunch of people.

312
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: It's really a cruck crap. All the rich people in

313
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the South, all the slave owners, they tossed all the

314
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: poor farm guys who never would own a slave in

315
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: their lives out there to the wolves. And they did

316
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: the same thing in the North, scumbags. They came up

317
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: with a draft because they needed more people. In the North.

318
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: You could actually buy your way out of it. I

319
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: don't mean as a bribe. I mean you could just

320
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: simply walk down to the recruiting office and hand them

321
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: a check and be like, yeah, I'm out pick someone else,

322
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: and they would they turn around and pick someone else

323
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: who couldn't afford to buy the way out of it.

324
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: They actually had a saying saying it was a rich

325
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: man's war and a poor man's fight. The poor just

326
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: got crapped on and that whole, that whole thing. It's complicated.

327
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: Remember Saint Abe Lincoln. You know we all talk about Lincoln.

328
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Right Eddie's Burg addressed the abolitionist the reason the slaves

329
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: are free. Ah. Do you know at one point in

330
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: time he vocally, very vocally told the Southern States, Look,

331
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't believe in slavery, but you can all keep

332
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: your slaves. I don't care. Just come back to the Union.

333
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Never learned about that school, did you. I'm not making

334
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: that up. That's real. People were complicated. So when I

335
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: where all this is coming from is I opened up

336
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: my email inbox this morning. You could you guys all

337
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,600

Speaker 1: seven seven three seven seven four three seven three. But

345
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: my inbox this morning was filled with people who are

346
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: angry at Trump, frustrated with Trump. I'm gonna stay home,

347
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote Democrat, I'm gonna vote third party, all

348
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: these other things. And I am not here to tell

349
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: you what to do with your vote or your life.

350
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: I will tell you I think that's insane. I better

351
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: for better or worse. Do not feel like we have options?

352
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: As of right now. We have a two party system

353
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: and Democrats are insane, and we can't have Democrats, let

354
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: alone president putting brain taking over at a time where

355
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: we have an economic crisis on our hands. We just can't. However,

356
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: I will just say this because that's been shocking to me,

357
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: how my inbox has changed from pro Trump, this Trump, Trump, Trump,

358
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: Trump Trump, to what's he doing? What's he thinking? He's

359
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: been fooled? Where's he? Where have you lost him? We

360
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: didn't lose him? Remember this, Remember this, Well, he's just

361
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: a man, He's just a dude. And while I think

362
00:26:53,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: he made maybe the biggest mistake in presidential history, I

363
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: do I Look, I told you I voted for him.

364
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote for him again enthusiastically. I'm gonna tell

365
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: you to do the same. But let's be honest. Posing

366
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: down America for two months very well may go down

367
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: as the biggest mistake in presidential history. However, hasn't he

368
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: done other great things? Lots of them. I'm not, as

369
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: you've heard, I've been very, very critical. I have no

370
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: problem being critical. I'm not here to waive his pom poms.

371
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: But do you want to be judged by your worst moment?

372
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I have some bad moments. People, trust me,

373
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: If you knew about all my low ones, you'd be horrified.

374
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: I would rather I'd rather not be judged by those.

375
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Probably not fair to say you your your best moments.

376
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: It's probably not fair to say you're your worst moments.

377
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: We are going to need to accept the fact that

378
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: politics sucks and that people are good and bad, and

379
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: that come November, we are going to have to figure

380
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: out a solution we can live with. And that solution

381
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: can be Biden. And it can be Biden. Do you

382
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: want that? Or it can be Donald Trump, or you

383
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: can vote for justin a mash this freaking guy? Did

384
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: you see this? Chris for those of you not aware,

385
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: justin a Mash is a congressman out of Michigan. He

386
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: was a Republican. He's a real I actually liked this

387
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: about him. He's not afraid to tell leadership to go

388
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: screw themselves. In fact, he pretty much made a living

389
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: at it for a long time. And that's fine. I

390
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: like rebels like that. I like people who are willing

391
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: to swim against the tide. I think, let's go. I've

392
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: always liked it. And then he became this hardcore anti

393
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: Trump dude. My issue with a Mash was A Mash

394
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: really has been one of the libertarian Republican types, which

395
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: that's not my issue. I mean, that's you'd say I

396
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: probably fall in that category, maybe more anarchist, but that's

397
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: another story. And then he just became this rabid anti

398
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: Trump hater. And now he announced yesterday he's launching an

399
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: exploratory committee for libertarian which, let me explain something to

400
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: all of you before I get into how hilarious that

401
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: is that he's running as a libertarian exploratory committee. It's

402
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: the anti Jesse Kelly, as you all know, as has

403
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: well been established for better and oftentimes very much for worse.

404
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: I do not test the waters with anything in life.

405
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh crap, we're about out of time. I'm getting the

406
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: handle on these brakes things. Shut up, Chris, I'm working

407
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: on it. We're naturally syndicated. Now I can do whatever

408
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: I want. I'm like a king. Hang on, you're listening

409
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. Your holster is

410
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: way more important than you think it is. It's just

411
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: way more important than you think it is. What look,

412
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: and I get that the holster's not the sexy part

413
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: of carrying firearms. All right. You want to talk about

414
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: your weapon and your ammunition. You want to talk about

415
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: your safety training. I want to talk about how you

416
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: did it at the range. I'll look at my groups.

417
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I was doing these failures today, and all that stuff

418
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: is really important, I mean, really really important. I'm not

419
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: discounting that. But I've known so many people who do

420
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: all those things. They take all the necessary steps, and

421
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: then they carry with a holster they bought from a

422
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: big box hunting store that was made a thousand at

423
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: a time. Please don't put your life in one of

424
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems because

425
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing I

426
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: carry around nw retention dot Com. That's nw retention dot

427
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten percent

428
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:36,800
