00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.200
Shout out to Magic Man, Joe
Strecker, the General Dwight D.

5
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:57.159
Eisenhower of podcast Producers. The thing
about all the power Beatle, it isn't

6
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.200
the big decisions that weigh heavy.
Hell, you decide to invade Russia a

7
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.599
dinner, pick Waterloo for battle on
a whim. It's the details, the

8
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:15.480
small stuff. It's easy to gamble
a million lies. It's hard it is

9
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.319
to see how that can hurt one
single person. And if you can't keep

10
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:38.319
that straight, well you lose your
humanity. I'll watch you. I couldn't

11
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.680
say, sir, indeed, General
you know, Ike wasn't perfect, none

12
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.840
of us are. But I can
confidently say that we don't have generals like

13
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.959
that anymore. And you've been like
before Joe, who was a brilliant strategist,

14
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.159
excellent general through that campaign. But
I wanted to bring him up again

15
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.120
because today is a seventy nine anniversary
of D Day. The invasion on the

16
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:09.159
beaches of Normandy, Operation Overlord,
as that entire day was called. And

17
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.840
wow, when I think about the
impact and I juxtapose that era just two

18
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.960
generations ago with today, Frankly,
Joe, I get a little melancholy,

19
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.479
And at the end of the melancholy, I get just a bit bolder in

20
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.439
my approach, if you can believe
it. You know, one of our

21
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.400
favorite quotes here is from Aldus Huxley, who wrote A Brave New World,

22
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.879
and he said that men do not
learn the important lessons of history is one

23
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.120
of the most important of all the
lessons history has to teach. Indeed,

24
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.919
So I want to look a little
bit at this history, this amazing history

25
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.400
of the greatest generation that fought and
won this war, and a few ancillary

26
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:04.879
and tertiary reaches of this campaign that
we may be familiar with today, or

27
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.560
that we may recognize today, So
as we are giving them all the credit,

28
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:15.639
those brave heroes, those young men
who got out of those Higgins craft

29
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.800
boats. I also want to connect
dots in order to remind ourselves of the

30
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.400
lessons of history. So I hope
you'll bear with me here. You know,

31
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:32.240
D Day really was a three pronged
approach with the psyops campaign on the

32
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:40.360
side that kind of undergirded the military
might. So we fought air, we

33
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:47.120
fought by land, we fought by
sea, and around midnight on D Day

34
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.960
is when the air Force campaign.
Actually the air Force wasn't officially founded yet,

35
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.960
I don't think so. It was
the Army Aircraft Division that was working

36
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:10.560
in collusion with the Canadian planes the
British planes, and they proceeded to attack

37
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.840
targets along the French coastline there.
Okay, when we say the beaches of

38
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.759
Normandy, Normandy is a region,
okay, in northern northwestern Europe, and

39
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:28.759
the beaches are right, just the
separate beaches Utah Omaha, Juno, Gold

40
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.680
and a Sword, I think.
And the D Day assault for the airplanes

41
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:43.959
was to attack the coastline and also
dropped paratroopers behind enemy lines. And that

42
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.959
I believe was for two reasons,
one to work inland, but also to

43
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:55.800
act as reinforcements for when the Higgins
boats approached the beach for the land assault,

44
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:03.920
and that was precarious because the weather
was so unpredictable during those times.

45
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.920
Okay, so you know how they
say you can have a low ceiling with

46
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.720
a cloud bank, which means you
don't have to go up very far to

47
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.519
be in the cloud bank. Right, They call that a low ceiling,

48
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.600
I believe in the aviation industry.
And so when those types of clouds rolled

49
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:27.399
in, sometimes the planes had to
fly lower in order to get where they

50
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.680
were supposed to be, or to
drop their paratroopers. Either to attack the

51
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.560
targets or drop their paratroopers. Well, that made them vulnerable to the Germans

52
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.800
on the ground who were shooting at
them. And moreover, the paratroopers if

53
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.160
they were too low, some of
them hit the ground without even their parachutes

54
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.240
opening and they just died on impact. So again those who did land were

55
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.079
able to regroup, and then they
fought to block the Germans again, who

56
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.279
were either sending reinforcements to utah Omaha, because Hitler thought that they were going

57
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:12.040
to attack up near Calais. Calais, France is the most narrow point on

58
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:17.120
the France side of the English Channel
between England and France. Part of the

59
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.519
Psyop campaign was actually acting like that's
where the war was going to be conducted,

60
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.079
or the land assault was going to
be conducted, and so Hitler had

61
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:35.360
much of his reinforcements there and again
the task, the objective of Operation Overlord

62
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.519
was to gain a foothold in France
right that the Nazis occupied, so that

63
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.680
the Allied forces could push inwards towards
Central Europe and then just start knocking over

64
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:56.160
targets right dismantling Hitler's regime. And
this initial aerial assault helped clear the inland

65
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.439
path for the Allies and towards that
end right toward the liberation of France.

66
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.560
The land assault man this is this
is what you see mostly on the movies

67
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.519
Joe and Saving Private Ryan or Ike
count down to D Day again. I

68
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.040
think that was in two thousand and
four that series came out. Highly recommend

69
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759
it. That's the clip at the
beginning of the show, and that's when

70
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.360
a lot of these or brings a
lot of these iconic images when we think

71
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:30.240
of D Day of the soldiers wading
through water, you know, the front

72
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:35.600
load ramps dropping from the Higgins boats
and soldiers storming the beach and wading through

73
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:43.480
minds that the Nazis had laid there
to sabotage them. We think our men

74
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.959
scaling up these impossibly high cliffs,
you know, with tanks sinking in the

75
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:58.120
ocean and planes flying absolute craziness.
So as the air and sea campaigns worked

76
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.279
together, I think it was they
started at midnight getting to their locations,

77
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.199
dropping their targets, their paratroopers,
trying to clear the beaches of as many

78
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.079
mines as they could before our men
approached the beaches in the Higgins boats.

79
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:22.000
And that worked in concert right for
those thousands of soldiers to give them as

80
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.920
much cover as possible. And again, the US was mainly involved with Utah

81
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.600
and Omaha beaches, while the British
and Canadian forces tackled the others that I

82
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.039
just mentioned Juno Sword in Gold And
because the weather and the tide schedule had

83
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.159
been so unpredictable, many of the
US landing crafts, those Higgins boats ran

84
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.759
aground on sandbars. So imagine that
that's all the further that you have to

85
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.720
go. Once that load ramp drops
in the front of the boat, you

86
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.879
can imagine those Higgins boats. I
think Joe carried thirty six soldiers, well

87
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:07.120
four crew members, I think,
and so I always envisioned a four across

88
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.879
by eight array of soldiers that would
plow out of these out of these Higgins

89
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.039
boats and storm the beaches. And
frankly, I don't know that's a courage.

90
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.440
You talk about courage. You're going
over the English Channel. Lord knows

91
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.879
how big the swells were. I
mean, I've I've read ranges from you

92
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.080
know, two to three meters.
That's a big swell. And they couldn't

93
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.120
always see land in those boats,
so a lot of them are hurling.

94
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.559
Now, imagine hurling your guts out
because you're seasick. That front ramp drops

95
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.000
and you've got to go out and
storm the beach. Moreover, two or

96
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.159
three guys that just went ahead of
you took bullets between the ice, and

97
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.080
you're eighteen to twenty two some years
old. You're in a foreign country,

98
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.000
called upon by your country to stop
evil that wants to dominate the world.

99
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.480
Man, can you imagine that courage
today? Joe, Well, I can

100
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.240
only imagine it. So if they
made it past the sea sickness, and

101
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.080
if they made it past the guy, you know, imagine having to step

102
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.360
over the guy in front of you
on or over in order to get to

103
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:20.039
your next destination, which could have
been having to scale a cliff while people

104
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.399
are shooting at you to get to
the destination. Of the Nazis to take

105
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.039
over the beach. And I don't
know if any of you remember Reagan's speech

106
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.519
about the Boys of Planto Hoc,
but they were part of the sea campaign,

107
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.120
and they were the USS Texas,
the Satterly in Talibant, and they

108
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.279
kept a steady rain of fire in
order to rescue the injured. They supported

109
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.279
the Ranger battalions. Those were the
Rangers, the badass Rangers that were scaling

110
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.200
those cliffs, and they were doing
that so that they could disable the German

111
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.919
guns that secured the beach for the
Germans. And eventually they accomplished the mission,

112
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.480
but while at a cost. According
to my notes from several years back,

113
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.840
of the men two hundred and fifty
five men who landed on that beach

114
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:16.720
the Rangers, only ninety six survived. So they were part of the sea

115
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:26.240
campaign. Land, air, see, weather, radio, communications, A

116
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.159
lot of things worked to their favor, to the Allied forces favor, and

117
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.440
ultimately they were able to break through
inland, secure those beaches, break through

118
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:48.440
inland secure France, liberate France,
and ultimately and the war liberate Europe.

119
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.399
And when I consider that verb to
liberate, that is really the difference.

120
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.039
And Reagan says that in his speech, and it's such a great distinction.

121
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.440
As I've mentioned and before, we
like to think God is always on our

122
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.399
side and we can do whatever we
want, whether it's domestically or on foreign

123
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.399
soil. But those boys over there, eighteen to twenty some year old boys

124
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.679
that storm the beaches of Normandy,
the rangers that scaled those cliffs, they

125
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.879
were there to liberate. And do
you know why, because they didn't want

126
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.840
it coming on their land. And
it's a damn shame that what passes for

127
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:28.559
general now uses that very excuse to
send our young men and women to die

128
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.840
overseas. And we've done it too
much. There was one other aspect of

129
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.200
the strategy here, and I'm going
to read the notes. I think it's

130
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.639
in this day or on this day
in nineteen forty four, and according to

131
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:50.120
America in World War two, which
is a magazine during the prosecution of that

132
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:58.159
war, took place the greatest deceptive
enterprise ever seen in a war. That's

133
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.039
a pretty grand charge, and that
took place in England. I think there

134
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.519
was a movie made, Joe the
Man that never existed or something like that.

135
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.720
It's a very old movie. Before
our time. But it was about

136
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:22.360
the radio program that was used to
spread misinformation to the Nazis in favor of

137
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.360
the Allies, and it was deception. Here this piece says deception was the

138
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:33.200
name of the game on a massive
scale. It included an imaginary army of

139
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.440
a million men, supposedly led by
America's General George Patton. And they do

140
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.399
cover this in that series Ike countdown
to D Day, and they had him

141
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:52.159
headquartered in England across from Kelais,
where Hitler thought most of the enforcements were

142
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.720
going. So they used double agents, bogus radio transmissions and many other means

143
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.440
to create this deception. Now I
want you to pay attention to this next

144
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.799
part. Tent cities. Tent cities
were created all over eastern England. There

145
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:16.120
were fake mess halls, hospitals,
AMMO depots, and even sewage treatment farms.

146
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.080
Fuel depots were constructed in parks for
trucks, tanks, jeeps and ambulances

147
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.200
and they were all laid out like
the buildings. The tanks, trucks,

148
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:35.200
and other vehicles were made of fabric
and wood or were rubber inflatables, and

149
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.679
the soldiers used tools to make tread
and tire marks for the benefit of spying

150
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.360
German planes. So they allowed these
planes to take pictures of what they thought

151
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:50.000
was real. And folks, I
gotta tell you, as soon as I

152
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.519
read that tent cities, the first
thing that popped into my mind were the

153
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:01.399
triage and quarantine cities at the beginning
of COVID were never used. History rhymes

154
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.240
and we need to learn the important
lessons of history. This piece continues.

155
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:13.120
On top of all that, the
deceptions extended to England's ports and waterways with

156
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.720
the help of the British movie industry. So they employed a Hollywood type industry

157
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.840
huh, which was called to make
fleets of dummy landing craft. The resulting

158
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.159
vessels, made of wood or fabric
and floating on oil drums, were moored

159
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.360
in harbors and rivers and looked convincing
to the German pilots at thirty thousand feet.

160
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:43.799
So all of that again shifted German
attention away from Normandy. And that,

161
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.080
in addition to the other plans,
was when Eisenhower gave the order for

162
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:54.440
the invasion to begin. So I
genuinely believe our men were intent on liberating

163
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:02.840
Europe. They didn't want anything.
They weren't there to conquer. They weren't

164
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:10.440
there to dominate. They did not
want world domination. And I can't help

165
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:17.960
but note the irony that that very
evil, the desires world domination, has

166
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:26.039
manifested and resurfaced in each of the
allied powers that stopped its first attempt Canada,

167
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:33.320
England, the US. Yes,
there were other countries, but those

168
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.639
were the main three. And that's
a tough pill to swallow. That alongside

169
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.200
the fact that I'm not sure,
Joe, I know thirty six men or

170
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.840
even thirty two men that would recognize
that same evil in our own country,

171
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.519
the psyops that has been turned against
our own people and perfected because, as

172
00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:00.960
we stated before, our enemies,
enemies of liberty, learned from their mistakes

173
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.319
and right when we think there is
a lull in the action, that is

174
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.799
merely the deep breath before the plunge, because they're trying to hone in their

175
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.079
skills for the next attack. So
do you know thirty two men, Joe,

176
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.720
that recognize that? Additionally, do
you know thirty two men that would

177
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:25.039
step off that LCVP after three people
in front of them got shot in the

178
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:30.440
head. I don't think I do. And that's a problem that the best

179
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.920
we can do is learn the lessons
of history try to be more strategic with

180
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:40.440
them. And it occurs to me
that our founding fathers actually wrote letters back

181
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:48.240
and forth about Sparta, Athens,
the Persians. They knew that a great

182
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:55.880
empire that outnumbers you, outguns you, or whatever their warfare is at the

183
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.559
time, they can be defeated with
strategy. There were people that thought the

184
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:07.559
war for American independence was ludicrous.
They didn't want to fight it. It's

185
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.000
the British Empire. It's the largest
empire in the world. They outnumber us,

186
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.559
they outgun us, And the founders
said, there are some things worth

187
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.480
dying for, and if you don't
have the freedom, what do you have.

188
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.880
I think we knew that in World
War two, and if nowhere else,

189
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:29.160
certainly on that beach, the beaches
of an Omaha was I believe it

190
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:37.599
was Omaha that was particularly overloaded with
German reinforcements. We were outnumbered and outgunned,

191
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:45.920
but small pockets of men who were
persistent persevered to ultimately take that beachhead.

192
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.480
It's a miracle. It is a
dagon miracle, just like us seceding

193
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.480
from the British Empire. That was
a Dagon miracle, just like Greece against

194
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.240
the Persian Empire. That was it
does not take a majority to prevail,

195
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:11.200
but a small, tireless minority to
stir the brush fires of liberty in the

196
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.640
minds of men. I believe that
was Samuel Adams. Got to keep persevering.

197
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.519
We got to keep getting off that
Higgins boats may not be a bullet.

198
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:23.559
It might who knows the power structure
does not like to be challenged.

199
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:29.559
But metaphorically, their bullets are cancelization. And I'm done with that. I've

200
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.680
been done with that. Keep the
men on that beach in mind, if

201
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.279
only for today, And when you
get intimidated or perhaps a little shy about

202
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.279
speaking your mind, you don't have
to speak it like I do. But

203
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.160
just think that there is a price
for liberty. There's another quote. I'm

204
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.680
going to probably massecure it, but
it's a massacre it Thomas Payne. Those

205
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:56.160
who expect to reap the blessings of
liberty must, like men, undergo the

206
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:03.039
tasks to preserve it. There were
real men during the War for Independence.

207
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.400
There were real men on the beaches
of Normandy. We thank them and all

208
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.640
who serve this country. Okay,
we're going to stop there. We have

209
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.759
updates for you next time on Oh
the Crazy Mayor in New York City and

210
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.240
on our other initiative, homeschool Ready
or Not dot com. But I do

211
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:26.920
want to leave you with Reagan's speech
part of it, and I want to

212
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.839
thank you for listening. Thank you
as always too, Magic man Joe Strecker.

213
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.599
Until next time, who will stand
at either hand and keep the bridge

214
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:42.000
with me? Have a great day. Forty summers have passed since the battle

215
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.359
that you fought here. You were
young the day you took these cliffs.

216
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.680
Some of you were hardly more than
boys, with the deepest joys of life

217
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:59.519
before you. Yet you risked everything
here. Why why did you do it?

218
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.720
Well? What impelled you to put
aside the instinct for self preservation and

219
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.559
risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the

220
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:15.000
armies that met here. We look
at you, and somehow we know the

221
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:22.319
answer. It was faith and belief. It was loyalty and love. The

222
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.960
men of Normandy had faith that what
they were doing was right, faith that

223
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.839
they fought for all humanity, faith
that a just God would grant them mercy

224
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:37.319
on this beachhead or on the next
It was the deep knowledge, and pray

225
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.839
God, we have not lost it, that there is a profound moral difference

226
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.319
between the use of force for liberation
and the use of force for conquest.

227
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.920
You were here to liberate, not
to conquer, and so you and those

228
00:21:52.960 --> 00:22:00.240
others did not doubt your cause.
And you were right not to doubt the
