1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't do it. I was gonna try

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: to continue the extra peppion Monday thing. I can't. It

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show. It's gonna be a fun,

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: fun day today. Probably not so much for the Biden administration. Oh,

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: this border thing kind of got a little out of

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: control for him. And well, well, yeah, we'll talk about that.

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: You know the reasons it's out of control. But I'm

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why it got out of control so fast,

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: the real reason why. We'll go over that in just

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Today, Kamala Harris looks like she's gearing

31
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: up to take over the White House. Joe Biden took

32
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: a tumble up the stairs. I'll have a different take

33
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: on that than everybody else. Eight seven seven three seven

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: dot com. But first, let me ask you a question.

36
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you believe in curses? And yes, I mean the

37
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: exact ones you're thinking about, Indiana Jones style curses. Chris,

38
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm yes, I know you do not. Do you believe

39
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: in curses? If you say you don't, ask Jewish producer

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Chris just did hang on, maybe you'll get there today now,

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: As you well know, I am probably I mean, let

42
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: me think about it, probably the greatest to ever do this.

43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: Quit I'm kidding, but Cissy, as you well know, I've

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: covered a lot of different history topics during the opening

45
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: of our show. Everybody knows by now every single show. Yes,

46
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: it's a political talk show that kind of goes off

47
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: the rails a lot of the time, but it's a

48
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: political talk show, but it opens with a history story

49
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: every single day. Sometimes it's a battle of war, a king,

50
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: a queen. Sometimes it's organized crimes, sometimes it's explorers, but

51
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: it always something from history. And as I was reading

52
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: something over the weekend, it hit me, I think I've

53
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: been borderline criminally neglectful when it comes to one particular topic.

54
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: If you're going to go down the list of the

55
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: greatest conquerors in the history of mankind, you almost undoubtedly

56
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: have Genghis Khan at the top, or you don't know

57
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: who you're talking about, Genghis Khan or maybe Napoleon or

58
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: something like that, but probably Genghis Khan. But on a

59
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: very very very very very short list. And I mean,

60
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: everybody's top five, definitely everybody's top ten as a man

61
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: by the name of Tamerlane. And I've never done a

62
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: show on tamer Lane. I asked a few friends this weekend.

63
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Most people don't even know who this guy is for

64
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: how have I never done this? So what we're gonna

65
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: do today is kind of a thirty thousand foot view

66
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: of tamer Lane's life. I'm going to try not to

67
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: get too bogged down in the story, but it's awesome.

68
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get bogged down in a couple parts of it,

69
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: and at the end of it, you just might believe

70
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: in curses. Now, who was Tamerlane? When was tammer Lane?

71
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Where was Tamerlane? This was the post Genghis Khan Mongol world,

72
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: And you know Genghis Khan was in the twelve hundreds,

73
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: came on up, conquered everything, Mongol's rule the world, and

74
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: then two three generations after they're ruling everything. By the

75
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: time we get to Tamerlane, the Mongolian Empire is broken

76
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: up into three different countries, three different empires now, all

77
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: of them very powerful, all of them just kind of

78
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: have a different direction. Sometimes they're at war with each other,

79
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: sometimes they get along with each other. But an important

80
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: thing you need to remember, this is the end of

81
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Mongolian rule. This empire is crumbling now, and they're crumbling.

82
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: One of the main reasons people say they crumbled, And

83
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: as you read about it and stuff like that, it's

84
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: hard to argue. Of the main reasons they're crumbling is this.

85
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: And tell me if this sounds familiar at all. They

86
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: can't agree on who they are. They can't agree on

87
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: who they are. Where did they come from? Well, you've

88
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: listened to this show, so you know they come from

89
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the Asian step. If you draw a gigantic thick line

90
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: east to west across Asia, that's the Asian step. It's mountains,

91
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: it's deserts, it's harsh, it's brutal, it's winter, it's hot,

92
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: it's cold, it's everything you can imagine. And from the

93
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: beginning this area seems to produce nomadic warriors, no settled societies. Really,

94
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: you are in the saddle. You are riding horses at

95
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the age of three in the Mongolian Empire. Three you

96
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: shoot a bow from the back of a horse so

97
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: well that at a full gallop you can shoot birds

98
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: out of the sky. I'm not making that up. That

99
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: is something that happened. And these people were always at

100
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: war with everyone else, at war with each other. There's

101
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: always the Scythians, the Mongols, the Huns, there's a laundry

102
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: list of these tough Asian steppe tribes. Genghis Khan brings

103
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: them together and he develops the greatest army in the

104
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: history of the world. They take on all the other

105
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: great armies at the time and defeat them with relative ease.

106
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: To be frank by now we're give or take a

107
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: century after Genghis Khan. We're in the thirteen hundreds. This

108
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: is the time of Tamerlane. And what is going on

109
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: in the Mongolian Empire. Well, it's the same thing that

110
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: goes on and other countries. You see, you started out

111
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: as something. We are nomadic Mongolian warriors. We are the best.

112
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: Let's go kill them and kill them and kill them

113
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: and take over everything and whoo, all right, we did it.

114
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: Our toughness helped us take over everything. Oh I don't

115
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't have to wear these rags anymore. I can.

116
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: I can put on silk. Wow, some silk would be nice.

117
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Oh I haven't we have our our nomadic tents that

118
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: we would build. Of course, everything is carried along with

119
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: us as we as we eat mice and field rabbits

120
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and things. Oh I, I can move into this castle

121
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: instead of instead of the tent with field mice. Wait,

122
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: you mean somebody's somebody's just gonna like bring me food. Hey,

123
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: what's this thing? Oh, it's it's a bath. I can

124
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: bathe every day on that. That doesn't sound nice, That

125
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: doesn't sound bad at all. I'll tell you. In this

126
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: settled society with my castle, the women smell a lot better.

127
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: It's I mean this. You see what happens. It happens

128
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: to all societies that get too big. Happened to us too.

129
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: You get too big, you get too rich, You get

130
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: a lack of appreciation for where you came from. And

131
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: life is easier and more comfortable when you're doing well,

132
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: when you're rich. In the Mongolian Empire was divided because

133
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: half of them wanted to be nomadic warriors. Let's go,

134
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: what are we doing? We can't stay in a walled city.

135
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: We need to be out on the plains. It's winter.

136
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: I want to go get frostbite on my face. And

137
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: then they're half are all, wait what, No, this is

138
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: way nicer. What are you talking about. Let's stay here.

139
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: And obviously I'm making a half joke out of it,

140
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: but it was a big deal. They could not decide

141
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: the direction of the nation, and Mongolian religion started to

142
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: be a problem. Remember Genghis Khan, for the forty million

143
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: people he killed, was thought of as a bit of

144
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: a tyrant to understandably, however, if you're gonna give the

145
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: guy any marks in the plus column. They were absurdly

146
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: religiously tolerant. All Genghis Khan, ever, cared about was helping

147
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: him conquer things. He would take over your city. Oh,

148
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna kill everybody. Oh you're an engineer, Actually you

149
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: can come work for me. No, not even as a slave.

150
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Life will be good. Oh you want to be a Muslim,

151
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah fine. Oh you want to be a Christian? Yeah fine,

152
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: put the church right next to the moss. I don't care.

153
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Just pay tribute to me. Whatever's fine. That that was

154
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: becoming a problem too, and out of that emerged a

155
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: man to be reckoned with. We'll get to that and

156
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: why we have a border crisis. Hang on, missed out?

157
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Catch up? Jesse Kelly Show dot com. There are hard

158
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,479
Speaker 1: moments in your life, in everyone's life. Nobody is immune

159
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: from them. You're born. You're just gonna go through a

160
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: bunch of those before you die. One of the hardest

161
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: moments for me is watching multiple loved ones go down

162
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: with heart problems, go down with problems that come from

163
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: high blood pressure. So I need to be proactive. You

164
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: need to be proactive, take care of these problems before

165
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: they arise. The easiest thing I do to help my heart,

166
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: to help my blood pressure is eating two delicious Superbeats

167
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: heart shoes every single day. My personal favorite is the

174
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: today here on the Jesse Kelly Show. You can find

175
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: me on social media at Jesse Kelly DC on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,

176
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm on Locals. Back to Tamerlane before we get to

177
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: why we have a border crisis right now. Empires divided,

178
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: the Mongolian empires crumbling, It's divided three different empires. They

179
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: can't decide whether they want to be Muslim Christian. There's all.

180
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: There's huge religious divides. And out of this there emerges

181
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: a Turkic Muslim by the name of Tamerlane. Came from

182
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: a good family, a good clan. He was reportedly enormous

183
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: and I mean absolutely huge for the time. And when

184
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: we think about guys like Tamerlane and Genghis Khan, you

185
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: like to picture them as having Asian features, with the

186
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: eyes and the black hair and things like that. We

187
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: don't know what Genghis Khan looked like, but there are

188
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: writings that say he was a redhead. Do you believe

189
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: that Genghis Khan is a ginger? Not kidding, no, Chris,

190
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: It's true. A lot of these guys don't come from

191
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, traditional China. A lot of them come from

192
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: places like Uzbekistan, like like Tamerlane was born in modern

193
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: day Uzbekistan. There's a huge EU European Asian crossover there.

194
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: You just don't understand totally what their what their features

195
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: just look like. Well, yes, he was a ginger Chris,

196
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: why do you think he was so terrible? Anyway, he's big.

197
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: He emerges very early on as an extremely talented commander,

198
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: and these people, these kind of societies, talent is so

199
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: attractive then and now, depending on what your culture prioritizes.

200
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: If I was riding around town on a horse, shooting

201
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: a bow into people and killing them by the hundreds,

202
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: I probably would not be admired and followed today. I

203
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: would most likely be arrested very quickly and sent to

204
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: prison the rest of my life. However, when you're riding

205
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: around with a bow in your hand and you're killing

206
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Back in Tamerlane's day, people look

207
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: at that guy and go, man, he has it put together.

208
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Talk about someone who has life figured out, and he's

209
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: gaining a following and gaining a following. I'm skipping over

210
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: huge parts of this story on purpose, but eventually he

211
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: takes over one of those three Mongol countries. He starts

212
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: to claim tries to claim he's a descendant of Genghis

213
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Khan because he's trying to give his rules some legitimacy.

214
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: Here and here's the thing. Anytime anyone talks about this

215
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: they always act like, oh, yeah, he was totally lying.

216
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Let's remember there are more descendants of Genghis Khan than

217
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: there are anyone else in the history of the world.

218
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: He really enjoyed himself while he was out on the

219
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: campaign trail, mostly unwillingly, but nevertheless, there are descendants everywhere.

220
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: I forget what the numbers are. Chris, lookum up for

221
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: me of Asians alone that are descendants of Genghisan one

222
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: and four. Chris is one and four. I mean, it's

223
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: not funny, but at the same time, it's we're so

224
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: separated from it it is kind of fun. So he

225
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: may or may not have been a descendant of Genghis Khan,

226
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: but he honors Genghis Khan. He does marry one of

227
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: the descendants of Genghis Khan to make sure they're real,

228
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: real close there, and he has visions of being the

229
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: next big conqueror. But he does things a little different

230
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: than Genghis did it. He says, look, if you're a power,

231
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: you're in place, pay tribute to me, pay taxes to me,

232
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: and I'll leave you alone. I really don't need to

233
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: stick my nose in your business. But if you rebel,

234
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: it's really not going to go well. Now, that's how

235
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: we're going to do things here on the home front.

236
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: On foreign soil, though, It's time to become the Mongols again.

237
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Tamerlane is very much a nomadic people. Let's get back

238
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: to our roots of murder and pillage type guy. First.

239
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: He sets his eyes on Persia. This is an entire campaign.

240
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I'll go over it another time. Let's just say things

241
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: don't go well in Persia. He storms into Persia, starts

242
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: wiping them out and wiping them out and wiping them out.

243
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: And on occasion, he's famous for this. Tamer Lane will

244
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: take his soldiers who are willing to commit flat out murder.

245
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: We're not talking war, we're talking murder men, women and children,

246
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: and he will send them back into the city he

247
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: just took and have them take every single person's head.

248
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: And then he would build the tallest towers he could

249
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: out of the heads. Tamer Lane was famous for head towers.

250
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: They call them skull towers. They were not skull towers.

251
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: These were very much intact heads when he built gigantic

252
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: towers out of them. Now, was he just some sadist?

253
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: Was he just some nut job? If you asked tamer Lane,

254
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: He would say, well, no, I'm trying to be merciful.

255
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to show the next city what happens. I'm

256
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: trying to show the next four or five cities what happens.

257
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: I am trying to put a healthy fear into those

258
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: who would oppose me, so we don't ever have to

259
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: come to blows again. You see this, Oh you don't

260
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: want to pay taxes? You see the tower behind me.

261
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: That's not concrete, paw, that's skulls. Now do you feel

262
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: like paying your taxes? Oh? You do? Oh? Good call,

263
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: good call. We'll come back to that. Once he wipes

264
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: out Persia, he then focuses on another portion of the

265
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Mongolian empire, the one with the coolest name ever, the

266
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: Golden Horde, and he takes them Mom. This is obviously

267
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: a bit more difficult than taking on other people, because

268
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: these are still Mongols after all. But he wins. Tamerlane

269
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: never loses. He's not lost yet. Then he sets his

270
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: eyes and this one floors me. This is where he

271
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: kind of gets a bit of a bad reputation. Understandably.

272
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: He sets his eyes on Delhi, on India, and even

273
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: Genghis Khan never really ventured into India. India is famously

274
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: a very, very very brute to a place to invade.

275
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: Even Alexander the Great got to India and his men

276
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: were all, Okay, this sucks. It's freaking hot. There are

277
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: tigers here. I would like to leave. He storms into

278
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: Delhi and takes Delhi. Now he doesn't wipe it out completely,

279
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: but this is a major city right in it. He

280
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: takes Deli. He takes it for no reason. There was

281
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: no provocation, not even a pretend provocation. They weren't enemies.

282
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: He just decided he wanted to go plunder it and

283
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: just took off and plundered it. And then and then

284
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: they rebel against his people. He then goes right back

285
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: in after he'd just taken it, and wipes out the

286
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: entire city. It took a century for Delhi to come

287
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: back as a major city. Supposedly, it was like something

288
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: out of one of those zombie movies where somebody wakes

289
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: up from a coma and all the streets are empty

290
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: and do you see the city and it's overgrown. That's

291
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: what it was, like, a gigantic city that had been

292
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: wiped out by Tamerlane and wiped out for no reason

293
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: at all. It just you know, I think I want

294
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: their stuff. And finally, and there's some overlap here, he

295
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: sets his eyes on the up and coming Empire, when

296
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: we've talked about multiple times on this show totally historically underrated.

297
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: He sets his eyes on the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans

298
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: are starting to really come into their own here. And

299
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: remember all this stuff is going on at the same time.

300
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: But remember the fall of Constantinople. Well, we're in the

301
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: late thirteen hundreds. Constantinople fell in the fourteen fifties, fourteen

302
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: fifty two to be specific. We're in about this time.

303
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: The Byzantine Empire is going down, the Ottoman Empire is

304
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: going up. Tamberlane is he's the exception right now. He's

305
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: dominating everybody except for the Ottomans. The Ottomans are coming

306
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: into their own two. They're on the rise. They know

307
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: they're on the rise. Their armies are dominating people. And

308
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: when you get to a place like this where you

309
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: have two alphas right next to each other, there's gonna

310
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: be a problem. And there's about to be a problem here,

311
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get to that and more communism in

312
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: your colleges. Hang on Jake's Mint Chew will help you

316
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: I was. I'll tell you right now, I was. There's

317
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: no judgment here when I decided I have to quit.

318
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: There was not an I want to quit thing in there,

319
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: and that makes it even harder. It's enjoyable. You're hooked

336
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: more than welcome to leave us a voicemail. I told

337
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: you were more than happy to play them on the air.

338
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: But a couple things, sir, in response to your voicemail. One,

339
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: I went to community college. Have I ever come here

340
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: and claim to have an excellent set of speaking skills?

341
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Have I ever once sat down behind this microphone and

342
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: said I am highly educated? You should definitely listen. No, No,

343
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. You do you all realize that I

344
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here, right? I understand that's not the fashionable

345
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: thing to say when you have a show. It's must

346
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: be I'm the best, I'm leading the chart. I shouldn't

347
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: be here. I work construction, I washed dishes. I was

348
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: a marine. I was I should not be here. I

349
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: sold RVs. I fell backwards into this job. If you're

350
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: looking for some Harvard educated lawyer who says words correctly,

351
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: you have come to the wrong place. My friend, I

352
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: am white trash, and that's never gonna change. I'm gonna

353

Speaker 1: still eat Velveta when I'm sixty five. Period. That's number one. Two.

354
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: I'll get back to Tamerlane in a second. All right,

355
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I understand I've caught some heat for my Rachel Mattow

356
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: is kind of hot. Take We got blasted for that

357
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: again this weekend. Are we really gonna say Jen Sak's homely? No?

358
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: Play that again, Chris, play that again, Jesse. I'm sick

359
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: of you radio guys saying it wrong. It's Posaki, you

360
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: got it. You know what I'm talking about? That redheaded

361
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Oh god, she's homely, Patsaki. Say it right, Pasaki. Let's

362
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: talk about Jen Sak in your face, dude. She's absolutely

363
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: kind of hot. Yes she is, Chris, Yes she is. Well,

364
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: you just don't hate her because she's you just felt

365
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: like her because she's a communist. She's steel kind of hot.

366
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with dabbling and communism before you get married, Chris.

367
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean when I say dabbling, I mean dating that

368
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: you don't ever personally practice it. But no, look, obviously

369
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay for dinner, and it's yeah,

370
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a one or two date, or let's

371
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: be honest, and it may not even last one full date,

372
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: depending on how aggravated you are, because it's gonna be

373
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: mind numbingly boring and stupid. But a dude, it's kind

374
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: of hot. It's worth a date, all right. All right,

375
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: let's get focused. Back to Tamerly. We can get back

376
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: on that in a little while. Chris, back to tamer Lane.

377
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: We have an Ottoman sultan. I've only given you one

378
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: name all day to day, so I'm about to give

379
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: you a second. His name is Bea Zide or Beazid

380
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: or Basid, depending on who you're talking to. He is

381
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: a powerful man in charge of a powerful Ottoman empire.

382
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: He is currently this is about the year fourteen hundred.

383
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: It's not exactly that, but don't worry about that. He

384
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: is currently laying siege to Constantinople. Remember it would not

385
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: fall for another fifty some years, and it had been

386
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: besieged several times and just no one could get into

387
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: dag On thing. Based is laying siege to Constantinople, and

388
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: he goes to another people, a people who are under

389
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: the protection of Tamerlane, and Bea Zede says well, you

390
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: need to pay tribute to me, and these people say no,

391
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: we're under the protection of Tamerlane, and Beazine says, okay,

392
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: all right, that's funny. You need to pay tribute to me.

393
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: This is a very personal insult for Tamerlane. This is

394
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: the This is the equivalent of walking up to Tamerlane

395
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: and spitting on his shoes. You don't do something like

396
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: that to tamer Lane. And frankly, tamer Lane wouldn't do

397
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: something like that to be a ze. Do you do that?

398
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: That tribute under my protection thing? In the ancient world,

399
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: it was not just words, and it wasn't even necessarily

400
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: about the country that was being protected. It was about

401
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: I told everybody he's under my protection, and you just

402
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: walked up to him and slapped him. Now you're insulting me.

403
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: Now you're saying I'm weak, And now it's on. Tamer

404
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Lane says, hey, bea Zide, it's on. It's time to

405
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: rock and roll. And they said a whole bunch of

406
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: letters back and forth. They're arguing what are they each

407
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: bringing to the table while they're bringing gigantic armies and

408
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: how many of them there were? I have no earthly

409
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: idea because I read probably six different things on this

410
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: and every single number was different. I'm not making this up.

411
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea how this happens. I find it

412
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: so frustrating. I heard everything. For just tamer Lane side,

413
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: I heard everything from fifty thousand to four hundred thousand.

414
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how you mess up a small city,

415
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: but that's what they did. And on the Ottoman side,

416
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: I heard everything from sixty seventy thousand to one hundred

417
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand. What it looks like to me on

418
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: paper is the only part that matters. Tamer Lane out

419
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: numbers in by a little. Now what are the armies

420
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: made of? Well, they're both really cool. The Ottomans are

421
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: very multiple, meaning they have archers, they have people on horseback,

422
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: they have elite, elite infantry. The Janissaries, remember the janissaries

423
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: from last week. The Christian kids they would steal as

424
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: slaves from their parents when they were younger forcibly convert

425
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: them to Islam, but trained them from a young age

426
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: to be Islamic super soldiers. These dudes were studs, studs

427
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: tamer Lane's army. I'm not totally sure. This wouldn't be

428
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: the battle I would watch in the history of mankind

429
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: if I had to watch one. Why tamer Lane's army

430
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: was obviously because their Turkic and Turkic mongol entirely mounted.

431
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: But remember how Tamerlane went down and just wiped out

432
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: Dali for funzies. He brought back with him elephants, lots

433
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: of elephants, elephants with flame throwers on them. He had

434
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: flame throwers put on top of the elephants. And to

435
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: make it even worse, I mean, just picture this, he

436
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: had gigantic blades attached to the tusks of the elephants,

437
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: and the elephants were trained to wave their heads back

438
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: and forth, kind of like a gigantic weed whacker. Supposedly

439
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: he had like thirty two of them at this battle.

440
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: How sweet would that have been? And on the other end,

441
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: how much would you poop your pants if you had

442
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: that coming at you and you're sitting there with a

443
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: spear and a shield a flamethrower. Yeah, you know, I'm out,

444
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm out. Oh cramp crap, I went down. I'm not

445
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: going to go into all the details of the entire campaign,

446
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: but just know this, it's the summertime. Tamer Lane is

447
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: a very crafty general. But then again, so is bey

448
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: a Zide. And tamer Lane decides, I'm going to make

449
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: him come to me, and I'm going to weaken him

450
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: and weaken him and weaken him as he goes. And

451
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: how's he do this? He starts poisoning the water supply

452
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: as he backs away, so by a zede and the

453
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: heat of the summer, is marching a long time with

454
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot of men and a lot of gear, and

455
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: they keep running out of water because tamer Lane has

456
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: poisoned all of it. But there was one gigantic source

457
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: of water that bea Zide was looking forward to as

458
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: he got closer and closer to Tamerlane. And it should

459
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: be noted Beyazid's generals by now we're telling him this

460
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: is a mistake. We have to we have to go back,

461
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: look at our troops versus his troops. We can't meet

462
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: him out in the open. Let's meet him in the

463
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: mountains on our territory, and and then and then we'll

464
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: get him. But Bayazid had a problem, a big problem,

465
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: one that affects you and one that affects me. You

466
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: know what that problem was, I'll tell you a second.

467
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Is he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah?

468
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: That Jesse Kelly Shaw. I have good news and I

469
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: have bad news. The good news is I got my

470
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm air purifier and I absolutely loved it.

471
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Plugged it in. It's completely quiet. I don't have any filters.

472
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: I have through a place and instantly the odors in

473
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: the room gone. It just worked great. My allergies are

474
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: so much better. I don't have these itchy, watery eyes.

475
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: You don't hear me doing this on the radio show

476
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: all day. Why it's because of my Eden Pure Thunderstorm. Well,

477
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: all that's the good news. What's the bad news? The

478
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: bad news is I still have sons, and they walked

479
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: into my room and liked the smell, and they stole

480
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: it from me. The second night I had it, I

481
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: show back up, I'm looking forward and it's gone. I

482
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: start yelling and screaming they stole it. But hey, don't

483
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: get yourself one. You'll enjoy it as much as my

484
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: sons do. Good at Eden pure deals dot Com used

485
00:33:44,440 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: the code word Jesse Eden pure deals dot com. If

486
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: you ever say, well, he's better than a Republican again,

487
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you're better than a child breakers? How

488
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: about that, Governor? I want to I apologize, but I

489
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: got to clarify one thing. You're free to say whatever

490
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: you want, Governor um, but but I just I just

00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: like want to be clear. Our line is going to

492
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: be that we have differences with you, but our differences

493
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: with Republicans are far greater. We don't have one hundred

494
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: percent agreement, and quite frankly gonna we're very comfortable with

495
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: you saying the same thing. I think you're better than

496
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: a child break. I just want you to know, Governor Cuomo,

497
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: just all kinds of man, I've got sodium overlow with

498
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: that much salt. Chris eight seven seven three seven seven

Speaker 1: four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com.

500
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: It's gonna be such a fun day. It's gonna be

501
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: such a fun week. I mean, yeah, it's a total disaster.

502
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: That country has fallen apart. But what else are we

503
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna do? We gotta laugh. Let's finish up Tamerlane. Let's

504
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: see if you believe in curses. The Ottoman beyazed. He's

505
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: being told by his generals, we're out of water, we're dying.

506
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: Pull back, We're heading towards fighting him on his ground.

507
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: Stop Bea Zede has a pride problem though, just like

508
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: you do, just like I do. Pride has cost a

509
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: lot of money. Pride has cost a lot of lives.

510
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Beyazed will not pull back. Beyazide is moving forward. We

511
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: are the Ottomans, we are the most powerful after all.

512
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: He finds himself going forward. But he's going to get

513
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: to the Ankara River and there his men will be

514
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: able to drink. Except he's not going up against some

515
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: ragtag idiot. He's going up against tamer Lane. Tamer Lane

516
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: had already diverted the river. The river wasn't there anymore.

517
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: Now he gets to tamer Lane and he decides, okay,

518
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: we'll take a day, let's rest, except your men don't

519
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: have any water. They're actually more dehydrated the second day,

520
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: more exhausted, more hungry. The Ottoman Empire goes to battle

521
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: with Tamerlane the next day, and maybe they never would

522
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: have stood a chance historically, will never know. It's one

523
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: of those disappointing things. Because the Ottomans were starving and

524
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: dying of thirst. A bunch of them went over to

525
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: the other side. They had traders just run over to

526
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: tamer Lane at We're with you now, pal. They hold

527
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: up at first, but very quickly the Ottoman Empire absolutely crumbles.

528
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: Beezite himself is captured and eyes in a tamer Lane prison.

529
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: A year later. This is called the Battle of Ankara

530
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: or Battle of the Ankara River. It was a humongous

531
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: setback for the Ottoman Empire. It's amazing they recovered it all.

532
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I think if I remember right,

533
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: this actually caused a huge civil war in the Ottoman

534
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: Empire for who took over next. It was some time

535
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: before they came out of this. But anyway, back to

536
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: do you believe in curses thing? Tamer Lane eventually dies

537
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: in his seventies, natural causes, don't worry, no nefarious business.

538
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: As far as we know. They bury him in a luxury,

539
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: luxury tomb, and I do mean luxury tomb. It is

540
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: known where it is. They discover where it is, and

541
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty one, remember this is six hundred years later,

542
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: give or take nineteen forty one, Joseph Stalin sends some scientists,

543
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: some archaeologists, down to this tomb, open it up, they

544
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: go in there, they inspect it. That's why we know

545
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: he was big as why we know he had red

546
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: hair too, he had a red beard. And you know

547
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: else they find in the tomb. They find an inscription

548
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: that says, whoever opens my tomb shall unleash an invader

549
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: more terrible than I. Hours later, Adolf Hitler and his

550
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: Nazi army invaded the Soviet Union. Oh you know how

551
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: this war ended? Right? How the whole Soviet invasion ended.

552
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: About a year later, nineteen forty two, Stalingrad is going on.

553
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Stalin by this point is a believer himself. He has

554
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: everything put back and the tomb put back exactly the

555
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: way it was, And Stalingrad ended days later with the

556
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Soviet victory and the Nazis retreating out of the Soviet Union.

557
00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: Now do you believe in curses? But setting that aside,

558
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: let's go back to the Tower of Skulls for a moment.

559
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: Tower of Heads. Apologize. That's a little bit rough, But

560
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: it's this show. You get what you get. Don't throw

561
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: a fit. Was that wrong? Is it wrong? Is it

562
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: a bad thing to make your enemies or potential enemies

563
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: fear you. The politics of fear, the tactics of fear.

564
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: It's been used since the beginning of mankind. It's not

565
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: tamer It's not like Tamerlane invented it. But is it

566
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: wrong to do? Is it wrong to make an example

567
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: of someone? Is it? I tell you, obviously, it's one

568
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: of those short term, long term things, and the short

569
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: term I don't know how it's arguable. Probably not good

570
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: to make a tower of heads of people you've just murdered.

571
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: In the long run, if I don't have to take

572
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: and wipe out five cities because of it, now, is

573
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: it a good thing? Now? Is it a good thing?

574
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: I asked this because, well, there's something we have to

575
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: talk about going forward when it comes to the border.

576
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: Hang on, your holster is way more important than you

577
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: think it is. It's just way more important than you

578
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: think it is. What Look, and I get that the

579
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms. All right?

580
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: You want to talk about your weapon and your ammunition.

581
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: You want to talk about your safety training, You want

582
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: to talk about how you did at the range. Oh

583
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: look at my groups. I was doing these failure drills

584
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: today and all that stuff is really important, I mean

585
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: really really important. I'm not discounting that. But I've known

586
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: so many people who do all those things. They take

587
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: all the necessary steps, and then they harry with a

588
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: holster they bought from a big box hunting store that

589
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: was made a thousand at a time. Please don't put

590
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: your life in one of those holsters. You need to

591
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: trust Northwest Retention Systems because it's all custom made gear.

592
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: It's the only thing I carry around NW retention dot com.

593
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: That's NW retention dot Com used to promo co Jesse

594
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: gets you ten percent off
