Go download the podcast. We're gonna talk about 6 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.239 these communists and filtrating things. Look, I'll get to the 7 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.920 I wasn't gonna even mention it. I'll get to this 8 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.000 peace deal thing here in just a moment. Let me 9 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.679 finish up the history. So the Ottomans have now broken. 10 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.880 They are not They're just not there anymore. They don't 11 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.960 have the forces they need. They're on the food they need. 12 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.719 Their ravage by disease and hung the things have gone 13 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:54.399 poorly on on Malta. And then things get from bad 14 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.759 to worse. Remember the Nights were constantly sending out letters. 15 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.880 Help help, help, send help. We need help, please send help, 16 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.719 send him. Why are you not sending any help? Finally, 17 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.159 after all this brutality and the island could have fallen 18 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:15.120 a month ago, but after they fought like lions, eight 19 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:22.840 thousand troops land Fresh Forces relief troops, the Ottomans recognize 20 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.000 that this is a disaster for them if they don't 21 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.879 put a stop to these troops immediately. So they gather 22 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.599 up what they have and they launch an attack at 23 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:41.000 the eight thousand troops. By now, the Ottomans, like I said, 24 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.280 they're not what they were. They don't have the manpower. 25 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.280 The Janisaries are basically all dead. They're just in terrible shape. 26 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.239 And the eight thousand troops, remember, are fresh, they have 27 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.599 been part of a siege. They are well fed, they 28 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.400 are well rested, their weapons are in good working order, 29 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.040 and not only that, they have the high ground. The 30 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.439 Ottomans launch an attack at them and do virtually nothing. 31 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.840 They shatter against the lines of the eight thousand person 32 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:19.680 relief force. This is it. The Ottomans officially break and 33 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.080 they take off towards the boats. They are running towards 34 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.319 their boats to escape so fast that the knights come out. 35 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.759 Everybody comes out and starts attacking them as they escape. 36 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.800 They are attacking them so quickly as they escape and 37 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:41.520 slaughtering them that the Ottoman commander, by this time, Pasha 38 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.840 is his name doesn't matter. The Ottoman commander at this 39 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.719 time has to rally his troops and fight shoulder to 40 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.319 shoulder with them to keep his entire force from being 41 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.719 wiped out, trying to buy them time as they get 42 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:06.159 on the boats and sail away and Malta is saved. 43 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.560 It is one of the great great history tales of 44 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.120 all time. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope maybe 45 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.960 you learned a little something for it, but from it. 46 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:26.319 But yeah, that is a see Jamalta. What Chris, cheez, 47 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.400 Chris Jewish producer. Chris just said, when's the next one? 48 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.800 I'll tell you what the next one's going to be. 49 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.159 The next one is going to be, as I promised, 50 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.039 It's going to be the Rhodesian Bush War. This is 51 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.599 a conflict that some people know a lot about, but 52 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.639 a lot of people don't know anything about. And what 53 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.840 Chris what? It's not going to be the you want 54 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.800 me to do the Bridge over the River? QUI first, 55 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.280 did I say I would do it? Next? Did I 56 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:04.000 promise that? I got to stop making these promises? Okay, pause, 57 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.439 we're gonna call an audible. The next one will be 58 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.439 the true story of the Bridge over the River? Khy. 59 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.199 I know you know they made a movie about it. 60 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.680 If you're old enough, maybe you already saw the movie 61 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.360 about it. That will be the next one. Then it'll 62 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.800 be the Rhodesian Bush War. I can't do history all 63 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.120 the freaking time, Chris. You know, these things take time, 64 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.519 and we have to talk about politics. All right. The 65 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.000 next one's the Bridge over the River Khy, the true story. 66 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.839 That'll be fascinating that. All right, there you go. Now, 67 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.639 maybe you're wondering why I haven't brought up this whole 68 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.759 alleged peace steel thing in case you didn't see it. 69 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.519 A couple hours ago, Trump's given a press conference. It 70 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.519 was fairly uneventful. It was you know, antifa's a foreign 71 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.759 terrorist organization, that kind of stuff. It's not that it 72 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.519 was bad, it just wasn't eventful. That nothing I really 73 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.519 cared about that much. And at some point in time, 74 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.600 Rubio leans in and whispers in his ear and it's, hey, 75 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.199 we have a peace deal. It looks like we're gonna 76 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.480 have a peace deal. Okay, So just like it happened before. 77 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.000 Remember this happened before, and I didn't talk about it. 78 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.959 You know why I didn't talk about it because I 79 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.680 don't believe it. I know these are wonderful headlines. I 80 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.399 know that I'm supposed to sit here and act as 81 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.600 if there is now peace in the Middle East and 82 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.439 all's gonna be fine. Yeah, it lasted like fifteen minutes 83 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.600 last time, and so will this one if it actually 84 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:40.240 even goes into effect at all. Ancient religious hatred is 85 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.600 not something that can be washed away with money or 86 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:52.240 land or Ancient religious hatred oftentimes simply has to be 87 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.439 fought over until somebody wins, even if it lasts a day, 88 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.480 even if it lasts a week. This is how it goes. No, 89 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.120 I'm not spending any more time on it because I 90 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.839 don't believe it. I don't like to sit here and 91 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.000 sell you something and then two days later, well, I 92 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:17.720 guess it didn't work. No, No, all right, No, if 93 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.399 that interests you, go find out about it. I don't 94 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.319 take any stock in it at all. Remember this about 95 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:30.360 hamas remembers of this. They are, by any measure, the 96 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:36.000 far weaker military force, far far weaker. Israel is a 97 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.000 small country, a small military but not only technologically elite. 98 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.920 Their training is elite. They're just really really good at 99 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.839 what they do. Very small, you know, they don't have 100 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.480 They're not they're not gonna take on Russia or something 101 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.040 like that. Very very small country, but super elite. Hamas 102 00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:01.120 doesn't have that. Hamas launched a thousand person race. Well, 103 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.560 they butchered a thousand people in a raid against a 104 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.759 military superior power. That is a bonker's thing to do that. 105 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.680 We're not even talking about the morality of it. Tribal peoples, 106 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.439 borderland peoples have known throughout history you can't take it 107 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.439 that far. Yeah, you can raid this settlement, and you 108 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.360 can carry off this girl, and you can kill this person, 109 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.519 and you can do you can do these things. You 110 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.480 can't do a mass rape and slaughter event, because if 111 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.199 you do that, then the far superior military power is 112 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.879 going to be angry enough to take it seriously enough 113 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.639 and they're going to come wipe you out. And yet 114 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.000 Havas did it. Anyway, that's the kind of insanity and 115 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.680 hatred we're talking about here. Nah, not worth my time, Jesse. 116 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.839 Reading of Honor by Brad thor and I came across 117 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:10.439 the following statement quote as the character of America's politicians declined, 118 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.399 so too did the character of its people. They were linked. 119 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:23.519 That's that's true. Leadership does matter a lot, and we 120 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.759 should keep in mind though that love of country and 121 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.440 character things like that. Values manners. These things are taught. 122 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.240 You have to learn them, and it's not only from 123 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.039 your parents, although that is the ultimate source, and that's 124 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.759 you know, your best source for that love of country 125 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.639 and a sense of duty and things like that. It's 126 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:52.360 not just taught by your parents. It's ideally it's reinforced 127 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.159 in school, in your church on Sunday. When you go 128 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.320 off to a higher institution, it is taught there. You 129 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.639 are taught, you know, you know, back in the day, 130 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.759 you would be taught at universities that, yes, there's always 131 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.120 a level of snobbery that comes with that, oh we're 132 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.159 better than the peasants who didn't go to college, But 133 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.919 you would be taught that you will be a leader, 134 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.879 and that you have obligations that come with being a leader. 135 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.799 You have to take care of the country, you have 136 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.600 to take care of a business, you have to take 137 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.559 care of the people. You have an obligation as somebody 138 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:33.759 who has a higher level of education and or more money. 139 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:38.879 It comes with duty. It comes with that. That's not 140 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:44.360 taught at all by our institutions. Now, our institutions they 141 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.840 teach these vile little monsters that come through there to 142 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.200 be more educated via little monsters America, socks at socks. 143 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.559 This place is terrible white supremacy, ah, and that has 144 00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:00.399 bled down. Leadership does matter, the leadership and the Democrat Party, 145 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.360 the elites in the media, in Hollywood, at universities. They 146 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.679 could turn down the temperature in this country if they wanted. 147 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.240 They don't want. That's why we are where we are. 148 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.639 No city is Jesse Kelly Show a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday. 149 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.480 Remember if you miss any part of the show, you 150 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.039 can download it iHeart, Spotify, iTunes gets your ask Doctor 151 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:27.120 Jesse Questions in for tomorrow Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 152 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:32.480 They're so upset that something's being done about the FBI. 153 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.559 You have senators saying that they were wiretaft, which is 154 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.360 just a fantasy. 155 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.320 That's not what happened. 156 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.879 What this was was Jack Smith trying to figure out 157 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.360 who Donald Trump was calling when he was trying to 158 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:46.960 delay the certification. This is according to my sources of 159 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.799 the twenty twenty election. He was talking to members of 160 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.639 Congress and it wasn't just he has multiple cell phones. 161 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.679 He goes through intermediaries and there was a reference to 162 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.519 this in the Smith report. He talks about it was 163 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.039 Trump callings of Congress, and he also talks about consulting 164 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.120 with Public Integrity about the proper way to investigate that 165 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.960 and how to obtain documents. So this was perfectly legitimate. 166 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.559 These senators were not targeted, they were not under investigation, 167 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.240 and they were essentially witnesses in this investigation. 168 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.639 But they've made it into this fake. 169 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.559 Scandal, and now that it's having real world repercussions because 170 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.799 as you said, cash Ptel just announced not long ago 171 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.799 that he's firing FBI agents and disbanding a corruption squad. 172 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:26.679 This is not the first. 173 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.720 Coruption squad they disbanded, by the way, they had previously 174 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:30.440 disbanded one. 175 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.240 Yeah, let go of the whole team. Oops, that's a 176 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.960 good start. Now they have to go to prison, but 177 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:43.440 that's a good start. A couple other housekeeping items I'm 178 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.039 sure you saw earlier in case you didn't. Once again, 179 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:51.879 the Senate Democrats, they they've voted not to reopen the government, 180 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.639 which is wonderful, wonderful news. It couldn't be more excited. 181 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:02.000 They voted not to reopen the government. Trump once again said, hey, 182 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.960 you need to open up the government or all these 183 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.399 firings are going to be permanent. We're furloughing half the 184 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.960 I R s. We're gonna furlough half the irs. It's 185 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:17.320 going to be permanent. At some point in time, we 186 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.399 have to stop threatening and we have to start doing. 187 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.559 We have to stop saying this is coming, this is coming, 188 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.200 this is coming, and we have to say it's here. 189 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.960 Welcome to the pain. I am hopeful that maybe tomorrow 190 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:36.919 that happens, maybe monday. But without that, without some level 191 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.399 of pain, what incentive do they have to make it stop? 192 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:42.000 Not much? 193 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:42.759 Uh. 194 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.639 Chris Coons went on CNN and he said this about 195 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.759 Pam Bondi and her testimony yesterday. 196 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.480 I was really struck a casey by how aggressive combative 197 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.639 that Attorney General Bondi was today. 198 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.039 I was struck by how aggressive and combat as she was. 199 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.639 You know what makes me angry about that. What makes 200 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.399 me angry about that is dork's like Chris Coons have 201 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.080 gotten to enjoy an entire career of being nasty to 202 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.759 every single Republican that comes before them, and so now 203 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:27.639 when Republicans stand up for themselves, they're just shocked. They're 204 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:33.840 just taking about WHOA what's she doing? Listen, Communists, you 205 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.200 know a lot of this comes back to Brett Kavanaugh. 206 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.360 They really didn't know. I really don't think they knew 207 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.720 how big of a deal, how much of a sea 208 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.279 change the Brett Kavanaugh hearings were, remember those. Look, I 209 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.399 don't even like Brett Kavanaugh, He's way too milk toast 210 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:54.600 for me. But the idea of losing the Supreme Court, 211 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.000 losing control of the Supreme Court was such a big 212 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.519 deal for the Communists they decided to do. They decided 213 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.480 to go all in in a ways, in ways we'd 214 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.240 never seen before, and they've done horrible things, horrible horrible 215 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.559 things to Clarence Thomas and others that they decided they 216 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.919 had to go all in on Brett Kavanaugh up to 217 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:21.879 the point they brought that unbelievable liar. Remember Christine blazey 218 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.440 Ford who was afraid to fly, but somehow flew everywhere 219 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.080 and she was assaulted by Kavanaugh, but there was never 220 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.480 any proof she ever even met Brett Kavanaugh. And they 221 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.440 even brought up a completely fake person and made up 222 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.320 a fake story. Senate Democrats in front of the entire 223 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:43.360 United States of America took this milk toast dork and 224 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.720 accused him of being an alcoholic gang rapist in front 225 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:52.039 of the country, and they thought, they thought they could 226 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:57.960 do that and nothing would ever change. Brett Kavanaugh changed 227 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.840 things in the minds a lot of people. In fact, 228 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.759 it wasn't It wasn't just you know, elected Republicans who 229 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.600 still have a long way to go. Normal people out 230 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:13.399 there watched the way these animals conducted themselves and they 231 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.559 were mortified, absolutely mortified that anybody could be that sick 232 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.720 and evil. This keeps happening to the communists in America. 233 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.279 They keep turning the dial up on everything to eleven 234 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.600 because they don't know any other way. And then what 235 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.720 it had What happens is you wake the other side 236 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.960 up to just how sick and evil you are, and 237 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.600 they change how they deal with you. You can't act any 238 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.559 way you want without it ever coming back to you. 239 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.440 And they they're always shocked when it comes back on them. 240 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.080 And like I said, it makes me mad because for 241 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.559 a long time they could get away with it. For 242 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.320 a long time we were infected with Mitt Romney, James Langford, 243 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.879 Eunich politics where we never did anything back and it 244 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.679 didn't get us anywhere. All right, all right, kid, is 245 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:20.679 the Jesse Kelly show on a fantastic Wednesday home Day. 246 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.759 It's always a fantastic day when we get to talk 247 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:29.120 about mining. I have always had a fascination with it 248 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.080 since I was a child. You remember, I grew up 249 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.639 right next to West Virginia. I grew up in Ohio, 250 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.200 so we'd always go down to West Virginia and check 251 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.559 things out down there. So I just love it. I 252 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.600 don't know why. Pulling things out of the ground and 253 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.440 the people who go into the ground, the whole endeavor 254 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.480 fascinates me endlessly, and I think it's unbelievably cool. And 255 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.080 Selena Zito wrote a really cool story about them for 256 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.360 The Washington Post. Selena, tell me about mining. 257 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.360 Oh my gosh, Jesse, it was the coolest thing ever. 258 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.480 Tell me. Tell me. 259 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.440 So, get to the to the mine. You have they 260 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.240 give you like this really intense training and then you 261 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:07.880 get all this. 262 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.720 Equipment on What are you training in? What are you doing? Oh? 263 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.799 Learning all about safety? I mean the amount of measures 264 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559 that they put in place so that you are safe. 265 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.279 In that mind, we're going twelve hundred feet down right, 266 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.960 the amount of safety measures that they put in place 267 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.920 every couple of feet so that no minor is isolated, 268 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:36.000 not found. There's tracking systems, there's AI. Uh, there's there's 269 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.119 breathable apparatus, hard hats. I mean it is like state 270 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:46.799 of the art, like spaceman astronaut stuff. So it's pretty cool. 271 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.000 And I got to put my steel toed boots and 272 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:54.160 fire retardant overalls on. But then you get into this 273 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.279 freight elevator sort of like the kind you see if 274 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.799 you get on the wrong elevator at the hospital. You know, 275 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.720 it's like oversized and opens up both sides, and it's 276 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:09.720 pristine inside, and you're like what, it's just like all 277 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:13.519 steel and shiny, and and you go down takes two 278 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.240 minutes to go down twelve hundred. 279 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.400 Feet, Yeah, two minutes. 280 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.519 And you get down there, and and there's a double 281 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.599 set of doors, uh to go through, and that's to 282 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.359 keep everything safe in case there's something happens. Uh. 283 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.079 How does that keep anything safe? 284 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.039 Well, because one can shut is something if you need 285 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.880 to block off bad air or fire in the oka 286 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:50.200 in mine. And so then you get on this thing. 287 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.759 It's called the man Trip and it basically looks like 288 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:59.039 the tram car the boardwalk, and and you go we 289 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.759 went three counties deep. We caught cross three counties. The 290 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.839 last the last coal mine we went into, we crossed 291 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.759 from into West Virginia in Ohio, but this one we 292 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:16.640 stayed into Pennsylvania, uh And, and we went to the 293 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.079 long walls. The long wall is this crazy machine that 294 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:27.079 that cuts out in layers like big jaws of go 295 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.839 three miles long and two thousand feet wide and just 296 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.920 cuts into the coal scene that that coal was then 297 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.920 goes onto a conveyor belt and with from that long 298 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:43.119 wall down down the coal mine, up into the just 299 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.880 the distribution center, onto a conveyor belt, onto a train 300 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.680 or a tugboat and out to col fired power plant. 301 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.559 One piece of coal only takes seven to ten hours 302 00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:01.200 to get from the wall to your house. Isn't that crazy? 303 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.119 Seven seven to ten hours? It's crazy? 304 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.599 Okay? All right? So help me understand the physical labor 305 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.400 they're doing down there. Is it still the picks and 306 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.039 things like that? What do they do? What men do? 307 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.519 It's all of machines. I mean they might have to 308 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.240 move something with a shovel, but there's no picks and 309 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.119 there's no donkeys. There's a lot of technology. I mean 310 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:35.119 it's hard work, right you are? It is definitely hard 311 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.039 and physical work, but it's not what you know, sort 312 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.079 of what you saw one hundred years ago. They're still 313 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.839 using shovels, they still use some klwing devices to get 314 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.599 at the coal seam and to explore where to go next, 315 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.240 because once a one long wall is exhausted, then you 316 00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.960 make a tunnel to go to the next long wall. 317 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.960 It's fascinating. And what's really interesting is on the drive there, 318 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.359 you don't realize you're going through these beautiful rolling hills 319 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.960 and you and I basically grew up in the same region, right, 320 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:16.440 these beautiful rolling hills and these farms and very becolic scenes, 321 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:22.799 and under there, like under their feet, this mining is happening. 322 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.599 And coal mining is really really important, not just because 323 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.960 it's the most stable, right. That and natural gas those 324 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:36.920 and nuclear those are the most stable, right and energy 325 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.599 output in our country. Solar and wind cannot do it. 326 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.119 They're not stable, and you need stability so that the 327 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:50.319 grid is working. However, they're also not just important to 328 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:55.880 making steel making concrete, making defense products, but they're also 329 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:02.119 very very stable in the development of AI. While many 330 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.960 people on my profession believe their jobs are going to 331 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.599 be gone, a lot of white collar people believe their 332 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.039 jobs are going to be gone because of AI. I 333 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.880 will tell you this. The jobs for AI come from 334 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.240 natural gas, from coal, from nuclear because AI data power 335 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.599 centers need that energy. 336 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.680 Speaking with Selena, Zito wrote a fascinating piece for the 337 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.640 WAPO about minds and mining. Okay, Selena, I have I 338 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.799 have a couple of really nerdy questions, and I know 339 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:33.480 you're going to make fun of me, but I don't care. 340 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.079 What was the temperature, like, is it hot? Is it cold? 341 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.440 Oh, it's it's a really nice, like a comfortable sixty 342 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:46.559 five degrees and the air is cleaner than the air 343 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.599 above you. Yeah, the filtering systems are insane down there. 344 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.440 I remember the last time I went down to mine. 345 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.200 It was at like the height of COVID and by 346 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:01.880 the one way, the woman I went down with was pregnant. 347 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:06.279 But because of the air filtering systems there, and this 348 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.039 is when everyone was like masks crazy, we didn't have 349 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:14.599 to wear the masks women in Oh yeah, oh yeah, 350 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.680 there is about I think it was seventeen percent of 351 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.880 the population. And here's some other thing that's really interesting. 352 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:25.119 By the way, I texted you a gift link to 353 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.920 the story so that all your listeners can if you 354 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.119 want to tweet it, all your listeners can read it, 355 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.240 and you can see like these great photos right in 356 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.400 this story. But one of the things that is also 357 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.400 you know, kind of interesting down there in the mind 358 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.359 is I'm talking to these guys, like three of the 359 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:47.039 guys that are down there like had PhDs, and I'm like, 360 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.559 what are you doing down here? And they're like, yeah, 361 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.200 we love this. We did these as like summer jobs, 362 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:58.519 and we decided we didn't want to work in an office, 363 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:02.880 like we love this, And so you had a wide 364 00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:06.759 variety of educational experiences down there. There are kids that 365 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.440 walk down to high school and start making one hundred 366 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.079 and four thousand a year, and they can with over 367 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.880 with overtime, they can make upwards of two hundred thousand 368 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:20.079 a year. The same went for people with bachelor's degrees 369 00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.759 and PhDs, and they're you know, and and uh and 370 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.400 if you wanted to go to school, they'll pay for 371 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.319 you to go to school. Uh. And it's just it's 372 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.440 a really great industry. It's a very very safe industry, 373 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.920 much different than what people think it is. And their 374 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:44.559 focus on safety is just just something to be seen. 375 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.079 See. This is why I've been telling people we can 376 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.519 start sending the children back down into the minds as well. 377 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.079 And I guess, I guess with the filtration system, you don't. 378 00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:56.640 I guess you don't have any black lung problems, which 379 00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.480 I was going to ask about Selina.
