"Insulted Rachel who was Jackson's beloved wife. And so Jackson challenged him to a duel. The other man shot first. They shot Jackson right around the lungs. Okay, not through the heart, but in the long area, Jackson's bleeding and his second is trying to get help him out. And he's like, no, he says, if you put a bullet in my brain, I would still live long enough to kill you. He said those exact words and then he shot the man dead. Charles Wilkinson, I'll look it up in a minute. I want to know that name. But so that's a really nice detail, Steve, about the fact that they gave a nod to the fact that Jackson was carrying around a bullet in his lung area. And he would carry that bullet till the day he died. James here, and now a brief word from our sponsors. I think that demel was really going for it because this was more of a play. I think the dress of Jackson was, they were trying to make him look like the Jackson on the $20 bill. Instead of a realistic portrayal, I think that's where the accent kind of came in. And if you go to Jackson's, I don't know what you would even describe him as aide de camp or his bodyguard. This frontiersman guy who wore the raccoon skin half with the tail on it and everything. He had the most over the top trickily mid Tennessee accent. I mean, the guy was a total caricature. I think with the fancy mister PV maybe, something. Yeah. I think what that sort of thing in the 50s, they just turned those caricatures up as loudly as they could instead of going for something a little bit more subtle. Yeah, exactly. Let's milk it for all it's worth. Have fun with it. The man that Jackson dueled is Charles Dickinson. I think I said, Wilkinson, I'm mixing them up with general Wilkinson, who had been the U.S. commander over New Orleans for a while. All right, so another major thing is, of course, the love story. Q romantic music. By the way, the music is very good in this movie. It's by Elmer Bernstein, who made dozens and dozens of movie scores, a lot of really famous ones. It's escaping my mind, which other ones he did, but Elmer Bernstein was a very talented movie composer. Yeah, and because this is the classic age of Hollywood, we've got to have a love story worked in. We've got a shoehorn it in. So they had to make something up. Jean lafitte had plenty of women, sometimes he was married, but in the movie he has a love interest with other claiborne's only daughter. The daughter in the movie is named Annette claiborne. It's played by inger Stevens, who was a Swedish actress who tragically, I believe committed suicide when she was about 35 later on. But anyway, so claiborne's daughter Annette and Jean lafitte have all these little talks where, oh, I love you, Jean. But I don't think I can be with someone who is an enemy to my country. Oh, I'm not an enemy to your country. I am a businessman. I help your country and things like that. So cheesy stuff, but and totally made up because governor cleburne only had at this time one surviving daughter. She was named, not Annette, or sophronia, Louise claiborne. And she was two years old. At the time of the battle of New Orleans. Now, the real lafitte is believed at least by some sources to possibly have had an affair with the governor's wife, who's not shown in the movie. Needless to say, that's not going to be shown in a 1950s movie. And a fun fact, I got to throw this in. This says nothing to do with the historical accuracy of the movie, but governor claiborne was the great great great grandfather of fashion designer Liz claiborne about that. Yeah, that's a really interesting fun fact. Fun fact. I always have to work in some fun facts. Would that be interesting? I think if they remade this movie, it was too way too spicy for the mid 1950s, but to have that relationship with clayborn claiborne's wife and lafitte and then having lafitte's brother involved. I think that could have made for a really interesting and complex movie. Oh yeah, it's just like a lot of things in history, Steve, the real story is so amazing and so cool. And so fascinating, why can't you just tell the story as it happened? Why do you have to make up a bunch of crap? I was like you said, it would be wonderful to have like a ten part series on the war of 1812, even if it's a docudrama. Those have become real popular lately. We've had like the history channel has actually gotten back in the business of doing good history. They've done Lincoln series. They've done a Washington series of grant series. Fantastic. They just did one on TR, which I haven't seen yet, but do a war of 1812 series. You might even have to make it like a 20 episodes or 15 episodes. It's all about money. I just don't know that many people would be interested in watching that, but it would be wonderful. And it was really, it would be really tricky in a regular movie format. Even though this movie, I think it was about two and a half hours long to have this buddy film with Pierre and Jean lafitte plus with Andrew Jackson. I think Cecil B. DeMille did probably the best he could with it and keep it within the 50s, which this is essentially a sword and sandal drama that demel gives us time and time and time again. Yeah. Just more like swords and boots and muskets. Yeah, I mean, really, I mean, you get the swashbuckling scenes. You get eye drama, but it really does work going on 60, 70 years later. I think it leads to modern audience, just feeling a little flat. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a movie that it's going to get a lot of excitement going on. It's a decent movie. It's fun, but anyway, a couple more things about the historic actually, the actor EG Marshall, great character actor from the 50s, 60s, 70s. He's about the same. He plays claiborne governor claiborne. He's about the same age that Cleveland was at the time, but they make him look a lot older. They give him this white hair and it's just really odd. Why would you do that? But I think you mentioned he looked like an old statue. He's kind of stiff character. The interactions between Jackson lafitte and between the feet and the British Royal Navy officers as well as the interactions between Jackson and the leading citizens of New Orleans are generally accurate. One of the screenwriters said this, he said the actual historic events in question are themselves so over the top that I all I really had to do was line up the dialog and even then only some of it. He added the only real job was shoehorning a romance into it. That's a obligatory. You got to check that box. One other detail I noticed about Jackson as he's constantly saying, by the eternal, I'll destroy you or I'll hang you or something like that. Or by God almighty. He was always swearing at the time they called them oaths. By God, I will do this, sir. You know, I did that a lot. He would say by the eternal, or buy this or buy that. So I thought that was a really good detail too. I also liked that they used those congreve rockets. I did they use them in that battle. I know they used them at the battle of fort mchenry in Baltimore. Yeah, they did. A lot. Yeah, they did here to a lesser extent. The rockets, as we touched upon, were not super destructive. They didn't do a lot of damage. They were mainly, as you said earlier, a terror weapon designed to scare the enemy. Yeah, apparently they couldn't hold much of a charge, if you will, or at warhead, and they had yet to invent stabilizing bins. So then they really just went they were like, what are the ones Roman candles, the ones which is kind of just all around wherever and maybe if they hit something, we would take a lot of luck. Another thing is a major character that we haven't really discussed much is Dominique you. He had been a Corporal in the French army during some of the Napoleonic campaigns and then he found his way to the new world and in the movie he shown as Jean lafitte's second in command. He posed as a general. And he's a really good character. The guy playing him did a great job. And it's mostly accurate. What other detail I want to mention is that in the film, I think I touched on this earlier, but let's talk about it again. Everything is done at the last minute to create tension, you know, the British are coming and they're still piling up cotton bales, and they're still searching for flints for the muskets, things like that. However, the main defensive line at the Rodriguez canal it was called in the movie it's built very quickly and the militias only recruited when the British threatened the city and lafitte arrives with hundreds of pirates and gunpowder just in time to face the British, but actually the main defensive line had been constructed over the course of a week. We did touch on that. But I think it bears repeating. The real Jackson had used martial law to raise several militia units and he had already received about 4000 reinforcements. Now in your key battles of American history, you give a formal rating to the movie. We don't do that so much. But I think this is a good time to maybe give our overall thoughts about the movie. For my overall thoughts, I like that they hit a piece of American history that is not very widely talked about or certainly portrayed in film. And I really, it was accurate enough. I think as far as the production values and that sort of thing, this is a straight down the middle film from the 1950s Cecil B. DeMille, it hits all of the things that's Elsa did. I was incessantly to melted at Charlton Heston, all these movies were either set to lead a male Charlotte less than somehow and gone forward or yeah. But I think it was straight down the middle. It was a fun movie to watch. It was really well done with the costumes and the settings. I wouldn't say that this is a movie I would go and watch every week or once a month or make my kids watch or something. But I think it's something to watch and enjoy. I would certainly recommend it. Yeah, if we're going to do numbers, I'd give it a straight down the middle three. It gets points for, as you said, the costume design is really great. And given that it was filmed on a sound stage, it looks not too cheesy in hokey. Definitely get points. Fuel brinner is fantastic. Charlton Heston is really great. Charles Boyer was Dominic you. He was really good as well. So for those performances, I would give it points. I would take away points for some of the totally fictional stuff like the Corinthian and the ending was terrible. That was unnecessary. Just tell the real story, just let the guy celebrate, let him revel in his success and why do we have to have this side track thing thrown in the end. For those kind of things, I would give it. The dialog is often stiff, the romantic elements are cheesy. There's a second romantic element that we didn't discuss with the actress Claire Bloom, who played Bonnie Brown, the daughter of the captain Brown, who was executed and she's just not good. Major distraction. But other than that, yeah, there's a lot of good, but a lot of not so good. I would have loved to have seen demel started with that lecture in the beginning that a wrap up lecture at the end, and maybe they could have cut out some of that silliness and just had it develop finish the rest of the story. It's kind of the beginning part is sort of like the docu drama, you're talking about, yeah, but I like that idea, but if you had done that, are you going to give the actual ending or will it really happened in history? I guess they could have said that lafitte sailed off and set up shop in Galveston, which was accurate. The reason of course in the show in the movie would not be accurate. But yeah, there are a lot of things that could have been improved, but that's true with so many movies. Yeah. I think that whole docu drama, it's a great way to do film nowadays. I think with historical dramas in a way it's cutting out what we do here. But it's showing the fun of what was happening and really connecting you to the history, but then you get right away, what really happened. Yeah, I agree with you. Well, thanks to James people should definitely go listen to your key battles of American history, especially the war of 1812 special series that's coming up, but all of your episodes are fantastic.

"Wearing black or brown or gray, these really dull earth tones, but in reality, people did wear colorful clothes. And the movie totally gets that right. And I appreciate that about the movie. Anyway, I got off on a little tangent there, but so at the end of the movie, after the celebration, the boy appears in people start asking, well, how did you survive the Corinthian? And he's trying to cover for lafitte. Even though it's not lafitte's fault, it was done in violation of lafitte's orders, nevertheless, the boy, you know, spills the beans and says, well, the ship was attacked by one of lafitte's men and burned. And lafitte personally takes responsibility for that. He doesn't try to Dodge it. He doesn't say I ordered it, but he says I was responsible for it. And the people just go nuts and they start to hang him and all this and finally Jackson comes out and saves him and but says you've got to get out of here. And so he's given what is it like 48 hours or 24 hours? I can't remember. Maybe just ten hours. He gives them just a little bit of time to get on a ship with his man and sail away. And so that's the final scene. Total nonsense. It's great drama. And that sailing to destiny is like, what's he going to do next? It's almost like they were setting up for a sequel. But Pirates of the Caribbean part two, lafitte. Lafitte goes to Mexico. But they don't show where he's going, but in reality, lafitte was continued to be both the feats again. Remember there were two brothers in reality. They were hailed as heroes, and they hung around New Orleans for quite some time. They eventually did leave and they moved their base of operations to Galveston of all places, and were there for quite a while. In fact, today you can go down and take the Jean lafitte tour in Galveston. It's kind of cool. I haven't done it, but there's a lot of Jean lafitte swag that you can get in Galveston. And that's going to be their new base of operations. But they didn't leave because they were afraid the Americans were going to hang them or something. They left because their base had been destroyed and they were looking for the next adventure. They were wanting to start a new business, start a new mini kingdom. So that's the reality. They relocated to Galveston around late 1815 and set up shop there. They'll stay there for quite some time. I thought that part of the movie was a little infuriating because I did respect that Jean lafitte owned it, but captain Brown was under his command and he was responsible, but he could have explained himself a little further than he took care of brown. I think that might have tempered it a little bit with the angry mob. Yeah, that part is the weakest part of the entire film in my opinion. I agree with you. The real lafite would not have fallen on his sword for captain Brown. I mean, these guys are pirates. As I mentioned, they're looking out for number one. The real lafitte, even if that had happened, would have said, hey, look, this guy was acting not on my orders. In fact, he was violating my orders. I had the guy hanged for crying out loud. So give me a break. And I think in reality, people would have calmed down and he might still have had to have left, but yeah, that's just pure Hollywood all that. Go find a rope. Right now, let's hang him right now. It's ridiculous. I think one of the other things that I had to keep reminding myself of was this is really a long time after the classic age of pirates. Really, in a lot of ways, Jean lafitte was an international business man. He had a legal right to some of the piracy that he was doing. He was not a full blown pirate. He was a privateer and he was doing trading. That this was not just our and killing people. It was a business. It really was. And he saw himself as a businessman and even the leader of a community, as we said, he liked fine clothes. Wine women and song. He didn't go around. It's even funny because they allude to that in the movie. The British are looking at them when they're having dinner and they're making their offer to him. And one of the British officers says, well, you're not really what I expected. And he says, did you expect me to have a peg leg and an eye patch? That was really funny. Character of lafitte is just wonderful in this movie. And as is yule Brenner. Now let's talk a little bit about the historical accuracy. This movie is very theatrical and a play like style. Our mutual comrade at a microphone and friend Sean mciver, he's spoken to this point and other movie based podcast episodes of the movies of this time. They were not filmed in a realistic fashion at all. And I don't think I saw a single setting in this movie that wasn't obviously a sound stage. So what was maybe one of the big things of accuracy? Because I mean, in a lot of ways, we don't want to get too hung up on accuracy. It is a film. But what's something that may be really ground your gears about this movie? Well, again, the number one problem with the movie, which we've already discussed is that there's no Pierre. Jean lafitte and pier doesn't get the credit for the things he did. But again, I think they were just trying to simplify it and the Jean lafitte in the movie combined features of pier and the real Jean lafitte. But we don't need to beat that dead horse anymore. Let's talk about Andrew Jackson also played by one of my all time favorite actors Charlton Heston. I love Charlton Heston. I love ten commandments. I love Ben Hur. So many good movies with him, but you've done an episode on el cid. Just a legend of the screen. But he's pretty good as Jackson. He is shown in the movie as being much older than the actual Jackson was. He's got the big shock of white hair just purely white, but the real Jackson was 47 at the battle of New Orleans. His hair was not yet white. And heston tries to do a southern accent, of course, Jackson was from Tennessee. He grew up in the Carolinas and very southern man. He would have spoken with a southern accent. But again, heston tries the accent goes in and out, like a lot of actors and movies at that time. I just don't think until maybe the 80s maybe that they tried really hard to be really accurate with things like accents and hair styles and things like that. Like you look at the movie tora tora tora, which is a fantastic movie about Pearl Harbor, came out in 1970, but the haircuts are not 40s haircuts. They're 1960s haircuts. Things like that. And so yeah, it's just that just wasn't a big concern that type of accuracy, whereas if you watch the 2019 midway movie, those are 40s haircuts. Anyway, that's kind of a minor thing. Hair and beards are one of my pet peeves, but they should have made him look a little younger. The actual heston was about the right age, but for some reason they tried to make him look way older. They did the same thing with governor cleburne. Now, having said that, there are some really nice little details that I like, they threw in there about halfway through the movie, Jackson is always whining and dining and talking to people and all that. And then he goes into his office and he unbuttons his uniform coat and he touches his side very gingerly. You can tell he's got a wound and old wound there, and he's just kind of, he makes a face. It obviously hurts. And that is a wonderful detail. Most people probably won't even notice that, but Jackson actually did have a bullet in his chest from a duel that he had fought in 1806. And I won't go into the details of the duel, but during this scene, lafitte sneaks in through the window, threatens to shoot Jackson if he doesn't give him a pardon, which is I could not find any evidence that that is accurate. I've read several biographies of Andrew Jackson, I've read about lafitte. I've read about the battle of New Orleans and nowhere have I ever seen anything written that lafitte actually threatened Jackson, but it's good drama and Jackson tells

"Yeah, a great performance by ewell brunner with hair this time. That's unusual. Yeah. But yeah, I just love your brinner, one of my all time favorite actors. If you like my ten favorite of all time, but I'm going to start by addressing the elephant in the room. Let's just go ahead and get it out right here. And that is the fact that Jean lafitte did not act alone. He was very much in partnership with his brother, Pierre lafitte. And so it doesn't make any sense when you talk about the actual historic Jean lafitte, it makes no sense to talk about him in isolation. So I'm going to be talking about the lafitte's, the brothers lafitte, Jean and Pierre. There may have been a third brother too, but I'll talk about that later, historians are not sure, but there were definitely two, they worked in tandem, and the movie completely cuts out Pierre, Pierre must have been rolling over in his greatest. What about me? I think what they did is they I think they kind of combine them together and kind of made a composite character. They combined some aspects of peer and John into the character of Jean. Jean lafitte was born around 1780. We're not sure where, probably in either France or son domingue, that was the French colony that later became Haiti, but possibly in Spain or even New York State. It's just his origins are shaded in mystery. So Jean and his brother Pierre had the same father who was a traitor, a man of the sea, like they would become. But they had different mothers. The air became a smuggler around the year 1800. It was a little older than John. And by 1805 Jean himself was operating a warehouse in New Orleans from which good smuggled in by Pierre were distributed. Both lafittes, but especially Jean were intelligent resourceful Jean, in particular, he was fluent in French. She was fluent in English. He had a working knowledge of Spanish. He loved drinking, gambling, women, and fine clothes, and the movie gets right. He's always almost always wearing really nice, colorful clothes, and he has a nice house. He's got plates made out of solid gold. I don't know if the real lafite was that wealthy, but he was a Bon vivant. And when you get to January of 1808, the U.S. began enforcing a law that had been passed the previous year called the embargo act, Steve and I talked about this in the very first episode of our series on the war of 1812. The embargo act basically said ships don't leave and they don't come in. There will be no trade with anybody. And the lafitte's, of course, being smugglers, they said, we're not going to follow that law. They move their base of operations to a group of islands and barataria bay, which is off the coast of southern Louisiana. Their ships would land there and John and piers men would load their smuggled goods onto smaller boats to take them to New Orleans. They would go all through the bayous and the swamps and everything and they developed a great knowledge of the terrain there. Now Pierre stayed mostly in New Orleans itself, managing their affairs while Jeanne stayed in barataria managing the outfitting of privateers in the smuggling of stolen goods. By 1810, the lafitte's business was booming and barataria had become a crowded, busy port. The lafitte's main commodity and the movie definitely does not address this issue because they wanted to make lafitte look like a really, really good guy, a wonderful guy. A little bit of an edge, perhaps, but they do not mention in the movie the fact that the lafitte's main commodity was African slaves. The U.S. had outlawed the international slave trade in 1808. So the lafitte's would smuggle in slaves from the Caribbean and other places they would buy them cheaply in the West Indies. Smuggle them in Louisiana where they were expensive because of the federal ban on slave imports that I mentioned. So that's a very seedy and dark side of the lafitte that, again, the movie completely ignores. In 1812, the lafitte began engaging in piracy, mainly against Spanish ships. They did not attack American ships as a policy. And they were actually under the flag of cartagena, which was a city which is now in modern day Colombia at the time that was breaking away from the Spanish Empire. So they were technically privateers and I guess mentioned the difference. A privateer is basically a pirate with a piece of paper from a government saying you have my blessing to do this. We talked about that also in the battle series. It's a legal pirate. But cartagena wasn't really recognized by a lot of other nations. So it was questionable and certainly not accepted by all nations that they were actually legal privateers. That's why they were called pirates often. And they had a reputation for treating captured crew members well. And they often returned captured ships. They tended to not just take the stuff, but they would leave the crew alive and just give them the ship right back. They didn't always do that, but they sometimes did. And the people of New Orleans were grateful to the lafitte for bringing them luxuries. They couldn't get due to the blockade. And I think the movie does a good job of capturing this. This movie in general, like a lot of Hollywood movies based on historical events. They get the big picture right, and they get a lot of some of the details right, but then they completely make up other things and completely get some things wrong. But we see in the opening part of the movie this outdoor bizarre where Jean lafitte and his men are selling all these smuggled in goods, these goods that they had basically captured and stolen from Spanish ships and then brought in and they sell them at high prices. And that's how they make their money. But of course, that's illegal in the U.S., so when the authorities start to come, they pack everything up and they disappear. And that did tend to happen from time to time. The government was often trying to stop this smuggling that the lafittes and their allies were doing, but they had very little success. It's really interesting gray zone that the lafitte's operated and legal pirates, but they're remit, so to speak is not from the United States and it's not from Britain. They're kind of helping the Americans, but they don't really have any obligation to do that. Did you get any sense in your research? Identify as you might say, identify as American or as something else. Well, he first and foremost, he saw himself as a French man, but he didn't have any real official ties to the French government. During the war of 1812, at least the early part, the British were not just fighting in North America. They were also fighting the French. They were fighting Napoleon, but Napoleon was defeated in 1814 and at that point the British were able to devote their full attention to the Americas. And that's what brings on the battle of New Orleans, which we'll talk more about later. But lafitte, in the movie, they portray him as desperately wanting to be an American, like he wants to become an American citizen and they give that as the reason why he doesn't attack American ships. But in reality, the real lafitte, his loyalty was to Jean lafitte. It was loyal to whatever was going to promote his situation, whatever was going to promote prosperity and bring him wealth. If that meant working for cartagena, fine, he'll work for cartagena. And later on, he actually turns and this is well after the war and after the events described in the movie, but he actually goes on the Spanish payroll in spies on people who are working to undermine Spanish authority in Mexico and other parts of their empire. So yeah, the lafitte were loyal to the lafittes. That's what they identified as their own personal entity. What was happening in New Orleans and how was lafitte involved with what was going on in this lead up to the great battle of New Orleans. Okay, so when the war of 1812 broke out, the U.S. government gave letters of Mark. And that is one of those letters I told you about that was it was an official sanction or an official blessing for a captain and his crew to basically be a pirate. But again, because they're working for a government, they're not a pirate anymore. They're now a privateer. There's a very fine line between those two. But so the government our government, the U.S. government gave letters of Mark to several ship captains who had been working with lafitte's. But the governor of Louisiana longtime governor William claiborne ordered the capture of lafitte. He didn't like what lafitte was doing. He was a by the book guy. At least for the most part, he wanted the law to be obeyed and lafitte was clearly violating Louisiana law as well as American law. But as I said, lafitte had a tendency to not be caught and sometimes he would get caught and he would escape. So there was a lot of frustration on the part of claiborne and the authorities in Louisiana as well as the U.S. Military. In January 1814, lafitte set up an auction site outside New Orleans at which he sold smuggled goods. I mentioned that a minute ago and again, that's shown at the beginning of the movie. Soon after this, though, Pierre lafitte was arrested, convicted of aiding pirates in jail, but he later escaped. Steve, you've studied 19th century U.S. history quite a bit as have I I'm thinking about Billy the Kid. It was really easy to escape from jails back in those days. They weren't like today where they would be and lockdown, you know, blah, blah, blah, but no, you just you could just knock through a wall or you could wait till the guard is asleep or bribe the guard or hope the guard drinks a 5th of whisky and then you're out of there. So that's what beer did. Now during the war, the British, this is shown in the movie, and this is accurate. The British actually came to lafitte, offered him British citizenship, $30,000 in cash, which back then was a fortune. And a captaincy in the Royal Navy in return for help against the Americans. Lafitte pretended that he was interested. He said, well, give me some more time and I'll think about that. But in the end, he double crossed the British. He warned the U.S. of the approaching British. And he also offered to assist the Americans in their defense against the British attack. Everybody knew that the British were coming. It was no surprise that they were headed to New Orleans. Although at first, the Louisiana legislature rejected his offer of help. And then in September of 1814 an American force attacked barataria, capturing 8 ships and 80 men, basically destroying the base, but both a little feet got away. They weren't even there. The British also raided lafitte's base. That is not shown on the movie, but the British also attacked that they weren't happy about him turning down their offer. And they put the finishing touches on it. Cleburne then lobbied the U.S. government to pardon the baratarians since they might be able to help against the upcoming British attack. Meanwhile, general Andrew Jackson accepted lafitte's offer of help. And that's all shown pretty accurately in the movie. They actually, there's a scene where the British come in and lafitte feeds them a meal and they specifically say, we'll give you citizenship land, $30,000 in cash, make you a captain in the Royal Navy and lafitte's second in command, general Dominique yu, he wasn't really a general, but he said, oh, you know, with every single one, we don't need land. We're privateers. We don't need money looking at all this money we have. He doesn't need to captain the Royal Navy. He's already a captain of a huge fleet. So yeah, that's interesting. And I find it interesting that even though the Americans were constantly after him and they even damaged his base, which is shown very well in the movie, lafitte still wanted to help the Americans. He hated the British. And I think that's part of the fact, are that comes from the fact that he was French. And French and British, as you know, thought each other off and on for over a thousand years. He really did have a very good setup, too, and barataria. It was a really key point. And for all intents and purposes, he was essentially it was an independent kingdom for him. There really was. It was both a very successful business and almost like his own shadow government. The U.S. just wasn't able to do anything about him. Nothing serious. Again, they talked about it. They made a few efforts, but they were too busy fighting the British and they just didn't really have the resources to go after the lafitte's with both barrels. It also, when going back to what you said about him being able to escape. Prison was a lot less, I guess, secure and physically secure, but also the whole apparatus. Yeah, you're a fugitive, but if you can go to your own private kingdom that's just a couple of miles away, that kind of takes away some of the sting of the authority, the government has, which probably they weren't exactly happy about, yes, exactly. Now what role did lafitte have in this monumental battle of New Orleans? Yeah, this is kind of controversial because there is no doubt that both lafitte's Pierre and Jean helped out in the effort to defend against the British attack. However, the movie makes this very dramatic they make the baratarians show up at the very last minute, nobody knows what they're going to do. That wasn't true. They were pretty early on. But they were spread out all over the place. So it's not like you had all of lafitte's men on the battle line, the very battle line that Jackson had constructed to stop the British from getting to New Orleans. Some of them were in forts and different places. Some of them were at 14 Philip, for example. Again, spread out Jean lafitte himself was probably not even on the main battlefield as he has shown in the movie and the movie he's dashing around, helping fire cannons and he even goes out in front of the American line at one point and sends a signal so that the Americans will know when the British are about 300 yards away and therefore within American rifle range. He's just dashing and daring and doing all this stuff and he just saves the day, but in fact the lafitte and his men, although they did help and they did bring some needed ammo and they brought, especially flints, the Americans were still using flintlock rifles at this time, which are basically the same weapon that they used during the Revolutionary War. You had a hammer which would strike a piece of Flint, which would start a spark that would go down into the barrel of the gun, have a minor explosion, and that would force the bullet out of the barrel. The Americans were extremely short on flints and lafitte and his men supplied lots of Flint, and that certainly helped. As I said, but it's not like they just turned the tide of the battle. It's not like, oh man, if Jean lafitte and his men had not come in and saved the day, we would have lost the battle. We probably would have won even without the pirates. It will talk more about the actual battle itself because it's just the way the British handled it was absolutely awful. It was terrible. They were going to lose almost certainly no matter what. Again, not certainly, but the odds were definitely against them. In fact, I was reading in a book about Jean lafitte and Pierre lafitte that the baratarians only made up about 2% of the total force at New Orleans at the battle. And again, as I said, they were spread out. So they did help. Some of them actually served on ships. They served in the naval force that fought the British navy. There was a mini naval battle going on at the same time or just before the land battle. Really, it's not and when you think of the battle of New Orleans, it's really a campaign. It's a series of several battles, not just the one climatic battle that's shown in the movie. And they touch on that a little on the movie. Later on, U.S. Commodore Daniel Patterson, who is portrayed in the movie. He praised the baratarians who served on one U.S. Navy ship, saying that their skill with artillery was greater than that of their British counterparts. Then that is absolutely true, and they show that to a certain degree in the movie. The main strength that the lafitte and their men brought was that they knew how to run a cannon. A lot of the U.S. naval personnel were very green and didn't have a lot of experience with operating cannons, but you know when you're a pirate and you're out on the seas, you've got to be really good with a cannon. And so that was a big help. On land and sea, the former pirate gunners earned praise as the battle continued. General Jackson himself praised the, singling out Jean and Pierre lafitte for having exhibited great courage and fidelity. In fact, Jackson and lafitte got along so well that the pirate became Jackson's unofficial aide de camp for a while after the battle. That's not showing the movie, of course. But after the battle, Jackson formally requested clemency for the lafitte and the man who had served under them. They were all outlaws, of course, according to the American government, and the U.S. government indeed granted them a pardon. President Madison pardoned lafitte and all the men that fought in the battle on February 6th, 1815, about a month after the battle. James here, and now a brief word from our sponsors. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's really interesting the movie, it kind of shows that a Jackson is his defense of New Orleans is a sort of a slapdash affair, and he did have to do a pretty quickly, but he had in military terms a ton of time to exactly prepare the battle field the way he wanted to have it prepared. Yeah, he had a dream set up when we talked about Gettysburg. We, of course, talked quite a bit about Pickett's charge. This is another one of these battles where a large force marches across a wide open field with a total visibility and the other side is dug in in a great defensive position with a lot of cannon. Think charge of the light brigade think Civil War battle of Fredericksburg battles like that. And so the British really didn't have much of a chance, even though they slightly outnumbered the Americans. So yeah, the Americans actually were ordered by Jackson to conduct kind of a preemptive strike. It was on December 23rd, 1814. They and knight, they hit the British lines and that's not shown in the movie. And then they backed up to their position and Jackson dug them in along a canal. It was just a really fantastic defensive position on one side, the canal was anchored by swamps that you just couldn't go through on the other side. It was anchored by the Mississippi River. So great position Jackson ordered them to build earthworks to build a little timber works wooden walls to defend. And also they used cotton. And they do show that in the movie it's kind of funny. This guy goes, hey, that's my cotton Jackson's gonna like, yeah, well, we need it. Of course, they had a lot of cannon. Many of which are some of which were manned by the pirates who already said we're really good with canon. So yeah, it was the British were just cut down. They were slaughtered. They just marched across this wide open field, the American canon cut them to pieces, and then they got close enough to the American rifles, were able to decimate the British lines and then finally they got close enough to where the American muskets, which had shorter range, were able to also cut them. And the British none of them even reached the American defenses. There was no pickets charged moment, you know, remember how some of the confederates actually got over the wall. They didn't even get that close before they had to retreat. And several of the British generals were actually killed in the charge. Colonels were killed or wounded. A lot of top officers were just cut down. It was a disaster, the British lost. You didn't really ask me that, but I thought I'd go ahead and close the book on the battle of the British lost 2000 out of a force of about 6000. They lost about 2000 killed and wounded. Whereas the Americans just lost a few dozen. One of the most one sided battles in American history. I mean, I don't know nearly as much about military history as you do. But in my reading, this is one of the most of any battle where it was the land and the preparation and the amount of material that one side had and that the other side of the British just walked into the perfect trap maybe isn't the right word because I think the British more or less knew what they were going into. But to have the fields so perfectly set for the battle of that Jackson wanted, it's probably one of the greatest in all of American history, but probably in world history one of the tops. Yeah, absolutely. And a lot of it is just British arrogance and overconfidence. They said, were the British Army for crying out loud. We just defeated Napoleon. We can defeat a bunch of ragtag Americans. They really play up the ragtag and small nature of the American force in the movie. The Americans actually had almost as many people as the British. They had about 5500, but a lot of those were brought in the last minute. And the American force was very diverse. You didn't have very many regular U.S. Army soldiers. You had a lot of militia. You had volunteers. There were Native Americans. The choctaw members of the choctaw nation fought in the battle. They show that in the movie, you had slaves were fighting. You also had free blacks fighting. You had people that spoke Spanish only. People that spoke French only. I read in one place that orders had to be given in four languages. English Spanish French and choctaw. So it really was a mixed up force, but Jackson had done a great job of whipping them into shape and giving them confidence and courage to stand there even in the face of this awesome looking attack. I'm using that in the basic sense of the word. I imagine it was awe inspiring to see all those red uniforms and especially since they sent the highlanders. They sent a highland regiment and they were marching just fearlessly and they were playing bagpipes and they mentioned the movie at 1.1 of the American defender says, gosh, that's really scaring me and Jackson said, yeah, that's the point. That's why they do that. Yeah, that was another part of it is that the British and we'll talk about this a little bit when we talk about the accuracy of the movie. The British had these highland regiments that were meant to terrify, then they used the congreve rockets. Yes. And those were really terror weapons. But the Americans were in such a secure position, a lot of those terror elements really didn't work. No, they really didn't. And I think that's a testimony to Jackson's leadership. Jackson was, in my opinion, a very effective military commander. He inspired the men to hold their ground. Don't freak out because of all these rockets that are flying around. They're not going to do a lot of damage. Just because they look scary and they've got awesome uniforms and they've got bagpipes and all that. We're going to win this. We're going to cut them down. And that's exactly what happened. At the end of the battle, it was pretty much that lafitte had worn out as welcome in New Orleans. And the last scene of the movie is showing him sailing off into destiny. Where did lafitte wind up going after this time and maybe why did he have to leave New Orleans? Yeah, okay, so this is totally made up. This is where the movie departs from reality. So there was the ship. You mentioned, I think you called it the Cunningham. It was actually the Corinthians. So that's right. Early in the movie, one of lafitte's subordinate captains Brown, I believe was his name, captain Brown, who is fictional character. They show captain Brown taking a group of the pirates and they hear that there's $250,000 worth of gold on the ship called the Corinthian, and so they attack the Corinthian, but in violation of lafitte's policy, they torch the ship and it's implied that everybody is killed, except for a cabin boy that he's kind of a cute little fella, a cabin boy escapes and ends up kind of being feats little buddy so to speak. But so yeah, Brown, this captain this fictional captain captain Brown ends up having a ship burned and people killed. And as you mentioned, lafitte actually has him hanged. He starts to do it himself, then he makes other people hang. And so at the end of the movie, after the long celebration, which they did have a celebration, they did have a ball. I'm sure the dance was even longer than it was at the movie. This is the age of classic Hollywood, right? Steve, you got to have a long dance scene. Yeah. But it was okay. I like the colorful outfits. I appreciate the fact that they did show people wearing colorful clothes. One of the things that we often see in movies that are

"And lily drugs, but they're building it back up. Guys, Meg, we were talking a little bit earlier about this idea of whether you could get the defense production act in place, and that could actually create a lot more volume of the Pfizer drug. As you just said, 10 million doses by the summer, 10 million doses by the summer, maybe too late. When we talk to Scott golly about this, he seems to suggest there was still a 6 month lag in terms of even if you started right now. It would take 6 months to really be able to ramp properly. The question is, is if you start now, it may be that by the time of the summer, you could get to a 100 million if you really went to it. Is there a resistance by Pfizer to do that? Well, certainly companies never like when the defense production act is used to force them to do something. Sometimes it could be beneficial to them because it puts them in the front of the line for materials and supplies. We saw that with the vaccines it was helpful to the companies if they were on that end, but it also has knocked down effects. Other drugs get pushed to the side. So it's something that people in the industry hope is used very precisely. In terms of the supply, though, Pfizer did increase its full year forecast for supply for the world to a 120 million courses yesterday up from 80 million. The U.S. is only order 10 million at this point. Could we see them increase that and when could more get delivered is a big question, but Doctor Fauci did talk yesterday about how complicated this drug is to manufacture and that it does have that time of 6 to 8 months for the active ingredient. And then finally there's an incentive question, which you just raised, which is those that are unvaccinated are almost I don't want to say have a greater incentive, but in some ways they will probably have access to this drug before those who are vaccinated. It's sort of the anti incentive to get vaccinated. I don't know if you read yesterday Chapman online, had made this statement that got a lot of people very upset, which was that he said, basically, that unvaccinated people should not be taken care of. I don't think anybody agrees with that, but how do you change that incentive structure in this case? Yeah, it's a real problem. It's an ethical question, but something we saw with the antibody drugs when they were in short supply too. If you got a prioritize the highest risk folks, that's folks who don't have the vaccine, so we'll have to see how that plays out in these treatment guidelines. Complicated stuff. Meg, thank you. Appreciate it. We have something of a holiday tradition on squawk box, checking in annually with the top secret military mission at norad, the North American aerospace defense command. Which fields thousands of tips and questions from the public about a certain flying object every December 24th. Santa was spotted over Petersen Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Let's get back to Becky. The recent boom in space tourism has the skies more crowded than ever, but that isn't deterring our next guest and her team from their mission of tracking Santa's voyage around the world on Christmas Eve. Let's welcome this morning, U.S. Air Force captain, sable Brown, who is a public affairs officer at the North American aerospace defense command, which is otherwise known as norad. She's also a member of the norad track Santa team. This, by the way, is the 66th year that norad is going to be tracking Santa's global journey and captain, thank you for being with us today. I would imagine that this job has gotten a lot more difficult over those 66 years because there's so much more stuff in the air, including all of the stuff that's in space right now. How are you guys doing this? How are you handling it? Well, thank you for having me, Becky, and yes, the job of watching the United States and Canada's skies is a little bit tougher, but we're able to keep up with it by working with our partners and allies around the world and in regards to tracking Santa. It takes a lot of contributors and a lot of volunteers to get that job done and they are happy to do it every year. So how do you guys do this? Let's track through all the technology that you have to actually watch Santa as he goes around the globe because this is something little kids have been so curious about for forever. Right. And when we get children that call in the op center, we give them all the answers about how norad tracks Santa every year. And it starts when he makes his first movements out of the North Pole. The radar in the northern Canadian and northern Alaskan Arctic area track him with those north warning satellites. And then as he moves west across the international date line, are satellites can watch the infrared signature from Rudolph's red nose as he flies around the world. And when he makes it back to Canada and the United States are fighter escort pilots, make sure to give him a wave and safely escorted him through North American airspace and then he heads back home to the North Pole to get ready for next year. I know we can all follow along by watching on the Internet on the website. How many people actually call into the limestone? Back in 2019, we had over a 150,000 calls. The phone never stops ringing. What do kids say when they call in? And how did this whole thing start by the way? Well, it started back in 1955 when there was a misprinted ad for a department store saying that children can call Santa at a certain phone number. But the misprint actually led to the conad back then it was continental air defense command. The call center there, a red phone that colonel Harry shop famously picked up and he went along with the call and so did the rest of his crew all night and that's how the tradition of norad tracks Santa got started. Well, it's a great tradition and we appreciate you all keeping it up this year. We'll be watching and we know you all will too as Santa takes off on Christmas Eve. Captain Brown, thank you so much for joining us. And good luck to you and your staff with handling all these calls this year. Thank you. And happy holidays and hope to see you tracking Santa with us. Merry Christmas, we will be. I haven't seen Christmas vacation, the movie this year. That's an annual app might be my favorite. I think, just because of cousin Eddie because of Randy Quaid, but you remember where they're at the table and Clark griswold says you know sand has been spotted coming across the border there. And he looks at him and just goes, are you serious, Clark? Exactly. But there's about a hundred lines from that movie that I use, I think of some of the other ones I've been using. Oh, yeah.

Here in Kansas City Chiefs were able to pull it out at the very end. 33 29 Baker Mayfield did come into the ball game looking to try to distill. You know the rumors that the Brown could win in Kansas City? That rumors still persist because they weren't able to do it. But the chief look man, they escape with the win by the hair of the chimney Chin chin. They moved to wanna know Patrick Mahomes had a great game. 33 touchdown passes to to Travis Kelsey 12 terrorists. Of course, he often had a touch down on the ground as well. Chris Jones led the way with the defense with two sacks. Uh, in in today's ballgame, so Kansas City did what they needed to do and deal with. They need to do when it mattered most when they were able to, uh, after they had a 75 yard touchdown pass. From Patrick to Tyreek. They were able to get get the Browns of four and out. And then after that, they came back and scored the touchdown. Pass the Travis Kelsey chief come out of this ballgame. Moving one and, Oh, what a 33 29 win over the Cleveland brag. There's Darrin Smith as the Kansas City Chiefs do what they've been accustomed to the last few years win games. But at times throughout the games, you wonder if they're going to lose the game and they find a way to pull it out at the end. Fantasy Wise, always Kansas City is a play Mahomes 27 36 337 Yards, three touchdowns. Through the air and also had one on the ground. So four total. And how about the day Tyreek Hill had 11 receptions 197 at the long of 75 for the score, and Travis Kelsey. He always shows up in the Red Zone. Six for 76 2 receiving touchdowns.

"To my broadcast partner and caretaker, Roland Vargas. So second a half, we'll see if the momentum that the switch banks were able to build at the end of the first half carries over here. To the second half. They were victims of that kind of momentum. On Saturday against New Mexico United. They'll try to use it to their advantage here this evening, and early goal would sure be big for the switch bags. They've controlled possession. They vowed shot real monarchs. They basically outplayed them. For the majority of this contest, but just not up to the normal standard that we see. For the car out Springs switchbacks in terms of scoring goals. I mean, We talk about the missing piece, perhaps being the other end. Pretty tiptop shape defensively, but offensively need a little something here. It doesn't look like any changes from either side at the half. It should be just about as we were to end the 1st 45 Brown will look back. Real monarchs will swing it out to the far side. And the visitors will move left to right across your radio dial to begin this second half as the switchbacks had a ball out of play looks like status quo for the switchbacks. Going into this. This second half. Yeah, we'll see Saucedo with the long throw again so dangerous from those can easily reach the box from here. He reaches the outside of it before Sebastian Andersson able to clear that one out does look like real monarchs, SLC or Rolling with the same 11. They went into the break with and Think that's probably the right call Jamison Olave's Gotta be pretty happy with what the scoreline is right now. Big strike there from the captain Brown. Well closed down by Sebastian Andersson. Switchbacks. Take that free cake very quickly. They look to the far side for Andre Lewis and Lewis will settle and has a defender on him trying to turn around and he gets fouled. Quick restart, going to the overlapping run of Dashain back, furred back furred on the end line passes it through guys legs, but no. One on the other end sent out by real monarchs, SLC Jose Torres with the header. Keeping an employ. Now, Anderson up to back furred Saucedo separates man from ball and now real monarchs with possession, only to be taken right back by the switchbacks. Here's Andre Lewis. Lewis. To the near side for Matt Mahoney, Mahoney up to Torray. Yaya Toure, a back to Mahoney over to Philip II, aka It's pretty clear the instruction at halftime for the switchback supposed to increase the intensity. You've seen just how quickly they've taken those quick, two free kicks. How they're moving the ball one touch and looking for a pass. R G. Barry passes back to My aka now to the near sign line for Matt Mahoney to the league's leading goal scorer, taken away as he met a slew of defenders and now real monarchs, SLC are going to break out the other direction. With it is Malik Johnson. He passes it off looking for Max Mata and the switchbacks able to take it away, and Johnson is still down on the ground. It looked like He blew a tire almost as he's running through just kind of ran out of steam now. And got and was a little bit tripped up of his own volition. It wasn't on the the switch packs at all. But this is a guy that plays that altitude. So that's not the reason but just Ran out. Of gas there just a little bit, And meanwhile, the ball ends up going out of play off of the switchbacks, resulting in a goal kick. Four Jeff Dudes, dump and Real monarchs, SLC. Yaya Toure, just being asked to Throw some Shin guards on by the referee before he's allowed back onto the pitch those switchbacks temporarily with 10 Saucedo on the far side, passing it to the middle misses its mark, and it's taken by Matt Mahoney, now up to Jose Torres. Yeah, yeah. Alright Strikes Ricardo Fierro. And that will bring a stoppage to play and, uh That's what you hate. You know, you get booed or whatever. It's like it comes with the territory. You never want to interfere with the play, and not that it was a high leverage situation or anything like that. But still Ricardo Ferro, needing the Get out of the way a little bit Good play from Phillip. My AKA had three rail monarchs around him took a nice first touch. Switch backs out wide. They've got some space and now Anderson in the box for Haji Barry headed high in the air by rail monarchs than a second time. It was Jaws yellow Rothko at the initial challenge really nice header from the centre back. Young man. Just 17 year old. Out of Flores. Made that really nice challenge right in front of Haji Berry. Which banks got to worry about the near side because there's a man streaking down there. That's exactly what happens. Ball sent in Davidson. Olave wants a handball and won't get it. Ball ends up going out of play. Throw in here for real monarchs. SLC. It was Seth powder coming down the right side of the field. Nobody was on him. Good job by the switch packs of shifting over once they saw the past was going to be intended for him. The real monarchs SLC back with it. Much better intensity. The second half already. Absolutely as a pass from powder is sent out. By Matt Mahoney. It will be a throw in for the visitors yet.
