James EarlyHOST
In our last episode, Audrey and I examined the American attempts to recapture the strategic port, culminating in the first major combined military operation between the United States and its new French ally under Admiral d'Estaing.
James EarlyHOST
We followed the campaign from its promising beginnings through the devastating storm, the diplomatic crisis that nearly shattered the Franco-American alliance, and the hard-fought Battle of Rhode Island.
James EarlyHOST
Although the American campaign failed to retake Newport, it marked a turning point in the war by demonstrating the growing strength of the Continental Army and the profound strategic impact of France's entry into the conflict.
James EarlyHOST
In this week's episode, Audrey and I are going to head south with Generals Cornwallis and Clinton to discuss the British Southern campaign, a major shift in strategy in which the British hoped to regain the loyalty of the southern colonies and force the rest of the fledgling United States to the bargaining table.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
As was the case in the Champagne, however, the Allied fire brought down on where the German infantry was thought to be advancing to its assault position prior to the opening up of its own artillery fire had a murderous effect.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
In the Champagne, two German infantry divisions had so suffered from the Franco-American artillery fire prior to the attack that they had to be relieved by two reserve divisions which attacked in their stead.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
Since the war, Germans who took part have stated they never saw so many dead of their own infantry as they left behind as they advanced down the north slopes of the Marne Valley to the river.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
The first Germans got across in single pontoons at a number of places during the night.
10 MINS LATER
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
The combats of July 15 and 16, much to the surprise of the Germans, stopped their attacks.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
However, they still had reserves enough left to make another attack and were planning to do so, this time probably against the British.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
The Franco-American attack, begun July 18, was pressed so hard that finally the German reserves intended for this new attack had to be largely used in a vain endeavor to stop it.
Ted LeinhardtNARRATOR
When the battle closed with the beaten Germans retreating across the Aisne and Vesle rivers, they had insufficient reserves for another attack left.

And, but also that being said that we're, that we're, uh, have several customers that are asking for, you know, a French American blend of unroasted or roasted and, and, um, things like that.
Cal LarsonGUEST
So yeah, we're blending that in a really neat way.
Cal LarsonGUEST
But when, um, like when you're buying a toasted barrel, it's, it's really tough to get, um, like the, I guess the full rainbow for the full range of really prized flavors.

Coleman HughesHOST
Just ethnicity alone, right? Like, forget race.
Coleman HughesHOST
You can find huge IQ gaps between French Americans and Russian Americans and Irish Americans and Italian, uh, Italian Americans, and none of these...
Coleman HughesHOST
You know, from my point of view, I think it, it's potentially dangerous to the social fabric to focus on any of it, including IQ differences between liberals and conservatives.
Coleman HughesHOST
For instance, you know, what you, you mentioned in passing, you know, no one had a problem when I was saying the conservatives have a lower IQ.
