Friday Night Watch After Party Discussion | Master and Commander – Livestream begins following the movie

➡ Ron Partain, the host of the Untold History Channel, discusses the 2003 movie “Master and Commander” starring Russell Crowe. He talks about his decision to not monetize his movie watch parties, shares his thoughts on the brutality of naval combat, and discusses various aspects of the movie. He also mentions that despite plans for sequels, the low box office turnout led to the cancellation of these plans. Lastly, he shares some insights about life on a ship and the structure of a ship’s crew in the 19th century.
➡ The National Defense Authorization Act doesn’t apply to the Navy, which has been active since the country’s founding to ensure safe seas for trade. The text discusses the history of the Navy, including conflicts with Barbary pirates who kidnapped and enslaved people across Europe. It also details the roles and responsibilities of various positions on naval ships, from the sailing master to the crewmen, and the sizes of crews depending on the type of ship. The text also touches on modern naval practices, including the deployment of aircraft carriers.
➡ The text discusses the workings of a commissioned naval ship, specifically an aircraft carrier. It explains how the ship’s speed and direction are crucial for launching aircraft, with the wind over the deck helping generate lift. The text also mentions a specific incident where a shaft was bent, limiting the ship’s speed. It further delves into the different types of aircraft on the ship and their roles, and ends with a personal anecdote about the speaker’s interest in naval aviation.
➡ The text discusses life during the Napoleonic wars, focusing on the harsh realities of sea combat and the dangers faced by sailors. It also highlights the fact that children as young as 12 could be pressed into service, a stark contrast to modern times. The text further explores how societal norms and expectations have changed over time, including the onset of puberty and the concept of adulthood. Lastly, it touches on the potential impact of hormones and other factors on early puberty in today’s society.
➡ The speaker recorded a show discussing the differences between the Confederate and American Constitutions. They plan to upload this and other content over the weekend, preparing for the following week. They also mention potential future shows with various guests, including a possible discussion about Jimmy Carter. The speaker wishes everyone a good night and looks forward to interacting with them over the weekend.

Welcome to the Untold History Channel. My name is Ron Partain, and it is the after party for the Master and Commander, the 2003 movie with Russell Crowe and a few other actors, but mostly Russell Crowe. He was. He was the star. And then, uh. What’s the other guy’s name? Is it Bellamy or something like that? I. I can’t remember. Doggone. And I can’t remember his name. But the. The British actor who was the Doctor. Totally drawing a blank there. But. But nevertheless, let’s see here is. This is the need to do the after party so I can see.

Okay. There we go. All right. I just want to make sure that I have the live chat up so that I can see. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I’m leaving all my movies up, so. So essentially what I figured out was I’m just not monetizing the movies. I’m putting these up as for, like, private use, and I’m not monetizing. So if you go back and you look at any of the watch parties, what I was doing before, and I didn’t. I didn’t realize it. I was. You. I was using them and. And like, monetizing the movie, and that was the.

That was the big problem. So I figured out a way to do it so that I don’t monetize the movie. And by not monetizing it, it just. It’s. It just stays up. So, yes, I will be. Yeah. Bettany. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, that was. It was a really good movie. You know, a lot of people talk about how, you know, like, how. How awful war is on land. But, you know, at least on land, if you got overrun, you can run someplace. You can, like, retreat, right? Where the hell are you going to retreat when you’re on a ship? You ain’t gonna go in the water.

So, I mean, it’s this. It’s one of those things where, you know, having the courage to be on a ship like that, I mean, that. That it’s. You know, naval combat back then was far more brutal, in my opinion, than land combat. I mean, don’t get me wrong, land combat was bad, but naval combat was. I mean, with all the splinters flying and, you know, I mean, it was just. It was. It was a very. It was very brutal. Very brutal indeed. So. So our yfc, you have been some issues with your Internet connection again, I guess.

So. I’m glad you enjoyed that. I’m glad you enjoyed that. Yeah. Conscripts and slaves. Yeah. There was, you know, a lot of people, a lot of People, they got pressed into service. It, you know, that’s if you remember the scene where they were, they were, he was debating on, you know, or the doctor was pleading for him not to flog the, the guy who didn’t salute. And there was obviously some, some tension there because he, that that kid lost his best friend. And when they were passing the cape and I think he held the, he held that officer accountable, you know, personally, you know, there was that and it was just, there was just a lot, a lot, a lot of tension there.

And anyway, and that the, you know, they made mention of the Jonah and you know, obviously that’s a story from the Bible that once, you know, when the seas were crazy and they threw Jonah overboard, all of a sudden then everything settled down and, you know, and the ship went, went on its way. But that was, that’s kind of the folklore, obviously, but still, nevertheless, you know, it’s a belief that a lot of guys had and, you know, he was, he took his own life. So. No, they did not do a sequel to that. There was, there were plans to do multiple sequels.

It was actually supposed to be a series of movies, as I understand it, but the turnout at the box office was so low that they ultimately just said, nope, not gonna do it. Because they, they put a lot of money into that movie. And I thought the movie was extraordinarily well done, just very well done. But just it, it never really got the due diligence that it deserved at the box office, unfortunately. So let’s see here. Yeah, I know, I agree. I agree. VMC that was, that was, you know, that would have been, that is definitely sequel worthy.

Definitely sequel worthy. Anybody have any favorite parts or any questions about kind of what they, what they did or, or comments about the movie? I, I, it’s obviously that a lot of you guys liked it. It was, I had a pretty high view count of people that were watching. And I think the, the biggest number I saw was like 175 or not, you know, 180ish in terms of live, live viewers. So it was, I’m just curious if anybody, if anybody has any favorite scenes or favorite parts or questions. I was in the Navy, obviously, but I wasn’t, I was on a battleship.

And we didn’t, it was a whole lot more, no, we were at sea, but excuse me, it wasn’t nearly as crowded, I’m quite sure. Smelly. You know, that, yeah, just, just live life aboard a ship like that. I mean, you don’t, you know, you know, there’s Absolutely no privacy. None whatsoever. Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate. That’s so that, that’s actually, that’s funny. The lesser of two weevils. That was great. And I don’t know how many of you guys, if you watched the trailer video that I put out, where I also put out, there was a gentleman who had done commentary.

It was about a 20, a little more than a 20 minute commentary on the movie. And he talked about a lot of the little nuances and, and, and things that were in it. And it was, it was very, very well done. If you haven’t seen that, I would highly encourage you to go back and watch it after seeing the movie. It just gives you a much better idea. You know, he, he actually brings some great insight to the movie. So. Yep. The loyalty. The country was appropriate then and now. Absolutely. Yeah. How much they had to stow.

They, they had. I mean imagine like a submarine, you know, like, like a World War II submarine where they had, you know, they would be at sea for, for days. Oh, excuse me. Been up since like 3:30 this morning. So I’m a little, I’m a little tired. But the, you know, they had, they don’t. They, I mean they had to make use of every ounce, every nook and cranny of that ship. So you know, and they had live chickens and live goats and all kinds of stuff so that they could, you know, you know, have fresh eggs and things that they needed to, to cook.

I don’t know what the, what the ship’s compliment was on that vessel. Actually, I’m going to look that up. Let me see here. Let me just kind of see if I can find out. All right, let’s see here. The ship’s company of a crew of a typical early 19th century sailing ship varied depending on the type and size of the vessel. However, common crew structures were found on naval warships, merchant ships and whalers both. In both is a general breakdown, or excuse me, below, is a general breakdown of a ship’s company based on naval vessels of the era, particularly the frigates and ships of the line.

But the roles also applied to merchant and whaling ships in adapted form. So as a commanding officer, he was the master and commander. That’s interesting. That’s why they called it so. Master and commander was the captain. He was the supreme authority on board, responsible for navigation strategy, discipline and success of the mission. Lieutenants, there were two to six, depending on the ship’s size. They assisted the captain in navigation, crew discipline and gunnery drills. They Took watch shifts and led different ship sections. A sailing master who’s an expert navigator, responsible for charting courses, taking soundings and ensuring safe passage.

And then you had a Marine officer, which you saw in there. The Marine officer was actually the one who shot the. He was shooting at the bird and he missed and he hit the doctor. And he commanded the Marine detachment, which to this day, the Marines are naval infantry. That’s why they are the Marines. If you look at the. If you look at the. The seal of the United States Marine Corps, it says right above it, Department of the Navy, United States Marine Corps. So the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy. And, and again, that’s, you know, getting not to be.

Not to get into the Constitution, but the Constitution. The Navy is the only branch of the military that does not require authorization. I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with the National Defense Authorization act, which has to be renewed every two years. And that is because the Air Force, the, the Army Air Force and now Space Force all have to be. They all have to be renewed because they are only allowed every. Every two years they have to be renewed. And that’s. That again, that’s the National Defense Authorization Act. The Navy is the only branch of the military that does not need that.

That basically is, is. Is. Is an active or is active in perpetuity. Because when the, when the country was founded, the Navy was, is what was used to basically keep the seas safe for commerce. That’s why our first real war outside of the revolution was with the Barbary pilots or Barbary pirates. If you listen to the Marine hymn, it says from the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. And that’s basically in reference to the Barbary coast where I was actually looking this up the other. I was looking this up earlier today about the white slave trade.

And the, The Barbary pirates actually went all through Europe and they, they were paid. They basically were. Were. They were paid a ransom to, to the pirates so that they would be left alone. And if they didn’t pay the ransom, then the pirates would go and they would, they would go into. They went as far north as Iceland, but they went all over Europe. They would. They would attack, like, port cities and they would go and they would just like take women and children and men and they would put them on the ship and take them away and take them down into the, into North African coast.

The Barbary pirates were obviously Muslims and they would, they would, they would sell them at slave auctions and the, a lot of the people that were taken as slaves were, I mean they were treated, they, they didn’t work on sugar plantations like the African slaves did. They worked in rock quarries and places like that. And, and in many respects a lot of the work that they did was, was even more brutal than what the, what the African slaves had to endure in the, you know, in the Caribbean and down in South. South America. So Annie. And in North America as well.

So let’s see here, let’s see that. So you had a sailing master and then you had senior warrants officers. So you had a boatswain or bo. They maintained the rigging and the sails and the anchors. They supervised the deck crew and oversaw the ship’s general maintenance. You had gunners, they managed the shipboard, artillery and gun crews. They maintained gunpowder stores and ensured cannons were functional. You had carpenters, they were responsible for the hull repairs, leaks and wooden structure integrity. Sail master, they obviously maintained and repaired sails, ensuring that they remained functional. A purser handled the provisions, pay and general ship supplies.

A surgeon provided medical care for wounds, diseases and injuries, often crude in effectiveness. Then you had petty officers and specialists. So you had a quartermaster anywhere from four to six. You had a coxswain that operated the captain’s personal boat and oversaw small boat landings. You had master at arms who essentially was like the ship’s police ship’s enforcer, responsible for discipline and maintaining order. Sometimes oversaw a small marine detachment and then you had coopers and they maintained barrels for food, water and gunpowder storage. The crewmen and the rating, so able seamen, there were anywhere between 50 and 300 depending on the ship’s size.

These were experienced sailors who handled sails, ropes and rigging. They maintained the guns during combat, or excuse me, manned the guns during combat, my eyes not working tonight. And maintained ship cleanliness and performed daily tasks. Then you had the ordinary seamen, they were less experienced sailors learning their trade, assisted with rigging maintenance and other ships duties. And then landsmen, often untrained men pressed into service or recruited. They performed manual labor and learned basic seamanship. So basically they were like slaves. And then you had a marine, you had the marines and they deployed on many naval ships for security boarding actions and shore landings.

Typically 50 to 100 on a ship of the line, fewer on smaller vessels. So looking here at the ship size and crew complement, a ship size, so a sloop or a brig, which was a small warship, the crew size was anywhere between 50 to 150. A frigate like the USS Constitution. I saw somebody talking about the USS Constitution in the, in the chat or HMS surprise, they had 250 to 350 was their crew size. A ship of the line, which would have been like the HMS Victory or USS Pennsylvania. They would have six to 800 plus on a ship.

That’s a lot. Now I’ve never been to Boston to see the USS Constitution. I’ve always wanted to go, but I never, I never have gotten to see that. But. And somebody commented that that ship is still active. It is it and that that is accurate. The, the USS Constitution is a billeted active duty station. And the guys, they, those guys, they, they take the ship out and they sail it and all the cannons are in working order. It’s basically as it was 200 years ago when they built it. It’s, it is a, it is a functional warship.

Of course it, it would never go into combat, but it is a functional ship, a ship of the line. So I already talked about that merchant ship was anywhere between 10 to 50 depending on thing and a whaler would have 20 to 40. But I would guess that the sloop of the brig of that particular size, that that ship actually was probably considered a frigate. The one that they were on that was probably considered a frigate. So so figure 250 to 350 men on that ship which was. That’s a lot of people to have on board just a little ship there.

See here. Can’t believe how much they had to stow on board. Yes. Potable water method back then. Well, a lot of it was rain. A lot of it was rain. But then they would store water. I don’t know if they had, I don’t think they did desalinization. But you know, many of you have probably heard a restroom on, on naval vessels referred to the head. Well in back then what they did is if you had to do your business, you would go to the front of the ship or the head of the ship and you know, you’d pee or do number one or number two right, right there and it would just slide off into the water.

And that was, that was what you did. That was at the head of the ship. So. And there wasn’t much privacy. It was right out in the open. So plancha, what were you, what were you on? If you were on, if you had 5,000, then you had to bid on a carrier. So because I can’t, I don’t know of any vessel that had, you know, roughly 5,000 and, and on a carrier. So in the Navy what you have is you have what’s called Ships company. Oh, you’re on the Enterprise. Okay. So in the, in the Navy you have what’s referred to as ships company.

So let’s take an aircraft carrier for example. Ships company on an aircraft carrier is roughly probably 800 to a thousand men and now women that serve on the ship. And then you have, and then you have the air wings, all the people that work on the planes, all that, all that stuff. So these, those guys are typically stationed on shore duty with their squadrons. And when a squadron is, goes on deployment, then they will pack up all their stuff and they will come in and they will move onto the ship and then they will go to, you know, they’ll go on a deployment and the deployment can last anywhere from, you know, five to six months to a couple of years if, if, you know, if duty calls.

Modern aircraft carriers. Nimitz class. The Enterprise was, was the only one of its class. But the Nimitz class aircraft carriers, which was CVN 68 through CVN 77, they had a ships company I believe of about a thousand to twelve hundred maybe. And, but I mean it was well over five thousand men and women on board that ship when, when, when they were on, on deployment. So crazy. When I was on the New Jersey, we had, the vast majority of our ship was ship’s company. The only, the only time that we had like a, like a group of people that would come on board was when we were underway under, on deployment.

And when we were on deployment we had, we had the admiral. We would have an admiral on board because we were, we were considered a flagship. So a lot of you guys, if you, if you see behind me, the flag kind of is right here. This flag, that flag actually flew on the New Jersey when I was underway. I knew a quartermaster and he, he, he, he hooked it up. The, the ends of that flag are, are kind of frayed. And then you’ll see that a piece of wood right underneath where it says untold history. You’ll see a piece of wood with some rope on the edge of it.

That’s a, that was a piece of the wood deck. They were just, they were, they were ripping it up and throwing it away. And I picked out a piece and I took it home with me. And that’s, I, I’ve kept it ever since. And the, the little pennant there, that’s red, white and blue, that is a commissioning pennant. And that is a. So anytime a ship is, is in commission, that little pennant is flying at the extra, at, at the highest level of the ship. Very, very top so that just, that just signifies that the ship is a commissioned vessel in the Navy.

So yeah, the eight, eight reactors was, eight reactors on the, on the Enterprise was fat. That was a, that was a fast ship. I think, I don’t know what the, I don’t know what the, what the speed, how fast did you guys go there, plant? I mean, what was your top speed? Obviously it’s kind of, I think it was classified. But if, if I recall you guys, you guys could get up to about 35 knots, if I remember correctly, anywhere between 30 to 35 knots, especially if you were, you know, obviously doing flight operations. The, the, the, the big CVNs, they are, you know, they, they have to be able to go fast.

And you know, if you go back and you look at the ships that were sunk and hit at Pearl harbor, they were essentially World War I era battleships. At their top speed was about 12 to 15 knots. They maybe, maybe they could get up to 20, but not much more. And at that time, when, with the carriers coming into being, coming in to take over essentially the main role, the, the, they were the main ships of the, of the battle groups because of the, because they had the aircraft, they had to be able to go fast.

And the reason they would go fast. If you guys have ever seen any movies about aircraft carriers, they’ll say turn the ship into the wind. And so if, like, let’s say, let’s say the wind is coming at, from 270 degrees, which, which would be due west. Let’s say the wind is blowing due west at 10 knots. Okay, well what you would do is you would turn the ship heading 270, so you’re going straight west. And then if you’ve got 35 knots, if you’re doing 35 knots, then you’ve got 45 knots of wind over the deck. And that 45 knots then assists the planes, you need that wind to, to come over the wing to generate lift for, for the airplanes.

So let’s see here. 35 before we bent number four shaft, then you were limited to 30 knots. Wow, I didn’t know that you guys bent a shaft. That’s kind of crazy. Oh, wow. An arresting cable got caught in the number four screw. That’s crazy. When was that? How long ago was that? And did they ever repair it? I mean, I had to have, if they put it in, if after, after deployment they would have had to repair that, I would think. But you’d have to put it in the dry dock to fix it. That would suck.

So what plant is Talking about is on an aircraft carrier, you have, you have the angle deck, right? So the planes come in to land. And when an aircraft comes in to land, they have a tail hook down and the tail hook will grab onto one of four basically cables that are, that are very, very tightly. They’re raised up just enough so that when the tail hook grabs on there, the arresting cable will stop the plane basically dead in its tracks. And that’s how, that’s how they capture aircraft. And that was what they did going back into World War II.

That was, that was how they stopped aircraft going back into World War II. But obviously it’s a lot more, a lot more challenging when you’re dealing with it from an aircraft or a jet aircraft because those planes are moving pretty fast. And it was the British actually, ironically, who most of the aircraft carriers in World War II were what they call straight deck. So when airplanes would come in to land, they, if they missed the, if they missed the arresting cables, they would crash into planes or men that were, you know, standing in their way. Well, the British figured out to angle the deck and by angling the deck what you, the, the planes would come in at a, at just, I think was about a 60 degree angle.

I don’t know what it is off maybe, I’m sure about a 30 degree angle. And they would, once they, once their, their landing gear hit the surface of the flight deck, they would hit full throttle because if they miss the arresting cable, then they would be able to have enough momentum to get back in the air. So a lot of people think that when they, when they hit the deck, so they hit the brakes. That’s not the way it works. So they would heal, they would hit the, they would hit the, the, the, the, the, you know, full throttle and, but there was still enough tension on the line to stop the plane.

So anyway. 77. And how many air, what was your complement aircraft? About, about 195 to 100, I’m guessing. You probably had two squadrons of F14s in 1979. You probably had two squadrons Of F14s, two squadrons of EA6s and then maybe some E2C Hawkeyes. You probably had some SH3 Sea Kings and some, then you had, probably had some EA sixes and maybe some S3 Vikings, possibly even a vigilante. But you know, every, every aircraft had its own purpose to, you know, you had your, you had your E2C hawkeye, which, which you had probably had a couple of those which were early, early warning aircraft, kind of like an AWACS plane.

So it’s all stuff that I just love. I mean, I, I, I, that’s what I wanted to do. I, I, I, I’m not ashamed to admit that Top Gun got me, but actually the movie that really got me really into interested into the Navy and naval aviation was, it was the name of that movie the Final Countdown with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. That was, that movie actually really captured my attention. And that movie was done right after the Nimitz came out. I think it was done in 1979 or 1980. Great movie. And that, that’s what kind of really sent my.

If I was going to do anything, I was going to go in the Navy. Well, my best friend in high school, he graduated. He, he didn’t tell me what he was doing, but he graduated and he went into the Navy. Like he, I think we graduated like on a Thursday or a Friday. I don’t remember exactly what, what day it was, but he, he was in boot camp like the following Monday. And of course I was like, dude, what are you doing? Why would you, why would you go and enjoy your summer a little bit? But he was the smart one.

You know, he got, he got a head start in his, on his life right out of the, right out of high school, went straight into boot camp and you know, it was, he went to, he, he was an aviation ordnance man and wanted to do eod. Then he, he, he got out for a short period of time. I think he stayed in the reserves, but he got out, went to school, got his degree and then he went back in as an officer. So, yeah, we, we’ve kind of lost touch over the years. But, but yeah, so anyway, well, let’s see what they, Yeah, I know they were, they’re very, very long.

Very long. An aircraft carrier is. Well, when I, so I was on a battleship and the battleship was, it was about, it was just short of 900ft, which is three football fields. So, so off topic, but in movies, do you think the Mel Gibson movie conspiracy theory is somewhat accurate of how disposable assets are created? Yes, I would say that that’s a fairly accurate representation. Sorry, I’m just, I’m just in, I’m, I’m, I don’t even know how I got off on to talking about naval aviation and aircraft carriers, but it was, I think, I think plant, plant.

It’s your fault. So I just, I, I like that. I just. No, that’s the kind of stuff I love. I, even to this day I’ll, I love to, you know, I’ll turn on YouTube and, you know, watch things about airplanes. It’s kind of funny because all the stuff that you used to have to turn on to like the military wings, the Wings channel or the Military channel or the History Channel, anytime they ever had anything about, about airplanes when I was younger, I wish I would always tune in to watch because I just wanted to see it.

So. But now all that stuff is available on YouTube, you know, on Demand. And so it’s kind of cool to watch all that stuff. But. But anyway, guys. Well, it’s, it’s kind of. What is it, seven. It’s almost, it’s coming up on 8:00. And no real questions about the movie other than. Susan just had a, she had a question that I, I responded to. Anybody else have any questions about, about the, the, about the movie or anything about, you know, maybe that, that time period from like the Napoleonic wars or whatnot? It was very somewhat accurate how they, you know, how they slept in hammocks.

That’s true. And the, you know, how they would get up into the riggings and have to do all that stuff. I mean, that was, that was an extraordinarily dangerous, dangerous job. So being on a ship in those days. And again, I’ll reiterate for, for those of you who weren’t here when I was talking about it earlier, you know, talking about combat at sea and even in World War II, you know, combat. And combat at sea is no joke. You, you don’t have any place to go. You, you’re basically on either a wood or a metal vessel that is under fire.

And if something happens and you get an explosion or whatever or a cannonball or what are your hit? I mean, there’s nowhere to go. You. It’s whatever the ship is. And if the ship sinks, you’re done. So you’re in the water and you just got to pray that some other ship is going to come and pick you up. So. Mastering Commander, where the children actually abandoned to the sailors of the day. I don’t understand what you mean, Susan. The kids on board. Well, the. So back then there wasn’t really a. If you’re talking about the, the young officer who lost his hand or his, his arm from the elbow down.

I mean, those, when you could be, you could be, you know, pressed into service as early as like 12. Back then is, it’s, it’s totally different. The way things were back then to. Compared to the way they are now. You know, and even in World War II, people lied about their Age just because they wanted to go fight. You know, guys as early as 50, you know, as young as 15 and 16. A lot of those guys, you know, they, it’s not like today where you’ve, you know, where everything is in a computer and there’s a, you’re in a database someplace.

Back then, you know, you could, you know, you could forward you, you could come up with a document and you’d show up and there was no picture identification or anything. And then next thing you know, you’re, you’re off to the military. So, yeah, a lot of, lot of kids did. But I mean, think about it. If you, if you were a child and, or if you were, you know, 14, 15 years old and you were on an island someplace and you weren’t, you did, you know, you wanted to go sail. Well, you know, a lot of those guys, they, they, they were either, you know, if they needed men on the ship, they, they, you know, you get pressed into service or they’d, they take you.

I think there was a lot of guys, A lot of times slaves were pressed into service, but they were, they were given their freedom. You know, they could, they could serve in the military, then they were given their freedom. So. And, and yeah, rotor motor. That’s possible orphans. They could have been orphaned. You know, a lot of different factors. A lot of different factors there. Don’t know exactly how or why, but the big guys don’t slide through the bulkhead door. Says it’s the SHAR guys. That’s true. I thought it was interesting that a couple of those guys were a little bit overweight.

I’m like, I was just, I was kind of thinking to myself, I don’t know how they could be on those, on that ship and be overweight. Just didn’t seem reasonable. They didn’t eat enough. Let’s see. Big. Let’s see. Agreed. My grandfather came from Scotland. He was the youngest son, and his brothers left him behind on the North American continent. 10 with $9,000 on a quarter section of land. Yeah, well, well, I mean, think about this. You know, the founding fathers, when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he was like, what, 27 years old. I know.

I mean, these guys were, you know, and, and they were considered, you know, grown men. Well, you know, when you look at the Constitution and you look at the age requirements for service, you, you have to be 25 years old to serve in the Congress. You have to be 35 to be a senator or. Excuse me, you have to be 30 to be a senator. And 35 to be president. That’s the age requirements. So, you know, it’s not, you know, there’s not, you know, but I mean, look, look in the, look, in biblical days, you know, in biblical days, when a woman, when a young girl started to menstruate, she was considered a woman.

She could be married off. And what, you know, what is that, 11, 12 years old? Same thing with men. You know, boys with, you know, boys started going through puberty. You know, that’s 10, 11, 12 years old. Now you’re considered a man. I mean, shoot, even in the, in the Bible, I think it was, you know, Jesus, what, 12 years old when he, when he gave his first, when he started, when he went down to the temple and he started preaching. So, you know, it’s just, you know, we look at those times now and think, God, how, how could that be? But you got to realize that, you know, life was a, was totally different back then.

Totally different. You know, I was, I, I, I was. If you guys didn’t see, yesterday I posted that video about the, the whitewashed tyranny of Abraham Lincoln. And it was talking about a lot of the, in that article, they were talking about how they, the north needed the slaves to work in the south to do the cotton, but in the north, they, even though they didn’t have slave labor, they had child labor. And that’s where a lot of the child labor laws came in. You know, you had children working in the mines, you had children working in sweatshops.

You know, a lot of times, you know, people needed to have their kids work just because they needed to make ends meet. So it’s just, you know, it’s, we live in a completely different era. You know, compared to what our, our, our grandfathers and great grandfathers, how they grew up, it’s just totally different. So the fragrances and endocrine disruptors are causing earlier puberty? Possibly. I’m, I’m, I, I don’t, I don’t know. I just, I, I do know that back back then, you know, 10. Well, when you say earlier puberty, what are you saying that, that kids are going into puberty at, like, what, like, 8, 9, 10 years old now, as opposed to like, 11 and 12? Oh, I see.

Susan just said 9 or 10 for some. I, I see my pole. Yeah. Yeah. Well, growth hormone and a lot of the hormones that are put in meat, you know, to make them grow faster. So, yeah, there’s definitely a lot of that. And girls are filling out a lot earlier. A lot earlier. You know, like 14, 15 years old and, and they, you know, obviously they, they’re, they’re still young, but they, they look older. It’s just, you know, I don’t know, but it’s. Well, I remember when I was, when I was in high school, I was a senior in high school, I would, I, I looked at like the freshman and I’m like, dang, they looks, they, they look, you know, some of those girls is like, wow, they are, they’re young, but they look older.

And I think that was just, I don’t know, maybe, you know, when you’re that young, you just don’t, you’re not able to, to recognize things like that. And I know as I got older I, I sucked at guessing ages too, so. But how seriously have we been messed with? It makes you wonder. Absolutely. Thousand percent, thousand percent agree there that they’ve been, they’ve been messing with us for, for decades, if not, you know, almost a century. So. But in the United States specifically, with all the, all the hormones and all the other stuff, I mean, it’s not.

And the stuff that they’ve been doing to us has made us sick and it’s made us to where we are, where we’re constantly needing medical attention or drugs or whatever. So anyway. All right, guys. Well, it is just a hair before 8:00 and I, like I said, I got up this morning about 3:30, so I’m, I’m kind of a little spent. I, you know, I’m gonna probably hop in the shower and get some shut eye. So I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I know last week I mentioned that I was gonna get the, the videos up on the, the K.

Griggs videos. It’s just taking me a little bit longer than I had anticipated. But I don’t really have any plans this weekend, so I probably will get a lot of those up. But I, I’ve got almost everything ready to rock and roll. I just, I just needed to record a couple things and I, I have a couple other videos that I want to do that are related to kind of like the Confederacy. I did, I did a show this morning. I recorded a show with Warhamster and Brady, or Brady is a Warhammester with Warhamster and Doug and you know, kind of laying the foundation about the differences between the Confederate Constitution and the American Constitution.

Very interesting stuff there. And anyway, so I’m, I will be uploading that tomorrow morning and I have a couple other things that I, that I want to get done as well. So this weekend I probably will be uploading a few things and getting some stuff ready for next week. So anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed the Friday night watch party tonight and I appreciate all your time. You guys enjoy the you enjoy your weekend and if I see great probably we’ll be doing a show with our. I don’t know if I’m gonna be doing the show with Armando and Ghost on Sunday or not because they’re going to be talking about that book and I don’t know if I really want to do that but I definitely will be having them on on Monday and then Tuesday obviously is Constitution and the Tuesday with Mike and I think if memory serves, I think what he was talking about is he wants to do Jimmy Carter this time.

So we’ll see. But in any event guys, I hope you have a fantastic evening, get some good sleep and I look forward to seeing you guys at some point maybe over the weekend. So thanks a lot everybody and have a great night.
