Speaker 1 (00:02):
Jesse Kelly Show, Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show
on a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday, Oh hoop day. If you look,
if you missed any of this, if you missed part
one of History last night, or anything like that, iHeart
Spotify iTunes. Go download the podcast. We're gonna talk about
these communists and filtrating things. Look, I'll get to the

(00:25):
I wasn't gonna even mention it. I'll get to this
peace deal thing here in just a moment. Let me
finish up the history. So the Ottomans have now broken.
They are not They're just not there anymore. They don't
have the forces they need. They're on the food they need.
Their ravage by disease and hung the things have gone

(00:47):
poorly on on Malta. And then things get from bad
to worse. Remember the Nights were constantly sending out letters.
Help help, help, send help. We need help, please send help,
send him. Why are you not sending any help? Finally,
after all this brutality and the island could have fallen

(01:09):
a month ago, but after they fought like lions, eight
thousand troops land Fresh Forces relief troops, the Ottomans recognize
that this is a disaster for them if they don't
put a stop to these troops immediately. So they gather

(01:31):
up what they have and they launch an attack at
the eight thousand troops. By now, the Ottomans, like I said,
they're not what they were. They don't have the manpower.
The Janisaries are basically all dead. They're just in terrible shape.
And the eight thousand troops, remember, are fresh, they have

(01:52):
been part of a siege. They are well fed, they
are well rested, their weapons are in good working order,
and not only that, they have the high ground. The
Ottomans launch an attack at them and do virtually nothing.
They shatter against the lines of the eight thousand person
relief force. This is it. The Ottomans officially break and

(02:19):
they take off towards the boats. They are running towards
their boats to escape so fast that the knights come out.
Everybody comes out and starts attacking them as they escape.
They are attacking them so quickly as they escape and
slaughtering them that the Ottoman commander, by this time, Pasha

(02:41):
is his name doesn't matter. The Ottoman commander at this
time has to rally his troops and fight shoulder to
shoulder with them to keep his entire force from being
wiped out, trying to buy them time as they get
on the boats and sail away and Malta is saved.

(03:07):
It is one of the great great history tales of
all time. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope maybe
you learned a little something for it, but from it.
But yeah, that is a see Jamalta. What Chris, cheez,
Chris Jewish producer. Chris just said, when's the next one?

(03:32):
I'll tell you what the next one's going to be.
The next one is going to be, as I promised,
It's going to be the Rhodesian Bush War. This is
a conflict that some people know a lot about, but
a lot of people don't know anything about. And what
Chris what? It's not going to be the you want
me to do the Bridge over the River? QUI first,

(03:54):
did I say I would do it? Next? Did I
promise that? I got to stop making these promises? Okay, pause,
we're gonna call an audible. The next one will be
the true story of the Bridge over the River? Khy.
I know you know they made a movie about it.
If you're old enough, maybe you already saw the movie

(04:16):
about it. That will be the next one. Then it'll
be the Rhodesian Bush War. I can't do history all
the freaking time, Chris. You know, these things take time,
and we have to talk about politics. All right. The
next one's the Bridge over the River Khy, the true story.
That'll be fascinating that. All right, there you go. Now,
maybe you're wondering why I haven't brought up this whole

(04:39):
alleged peace steel thing in case you didn't see it.
A couple hours ago, Trump's given a press conference. It
was fairly uneventful. It was you know, antifa's a foreign
terrorist organization, that kind of stuff. It's not that it
was bad, it just wasn't eventful. That nothing I really
cared about that much. And at some point in time,
Rubio leans in and whispers in his ear and it's, hey,

(05:00):
we have a peace deal. It looks like we're gonna
have a peace deal. Okay, So just like it happened before.
Remember this happened before, and I didn't talk about it.
You know why I didn't talk about it because I
don't believe it. I know these are wonderful headlines. I
know that I'm supposed to sit here and act as

(05:22):
if there is now peace in the Middle East and
all's gonna be fine. Yeah, it lasted like fifteen minutes
last time, and so will this one if it actually
even goes into effect at all. Ancient religious hatred is
not something that can be washed away with money or

(05:45):
land or Ancient religious hatred oftentimes simply has to be
fought over until somebody wins, even if it lasts a day,
even if it lasts a week. This is how it goes. No,
I'm not spending any more time on it because I

(06:06):
don't believe it. I don't like to sit here and
sell you something and then two days later, well, I
guess it didn't work. No, No, all right, No, if
that interests you, go find out about it. I don't
take any stock in it at all. Remember this about
hamas remembers of this. They are, by any measure, the

(06:30):
far weaker military force, far far weaker. Israel is a
small country, a small military but not only technologically elite.
Their training is elite. They're just really really good at
what they do. Very small, you know, they don't have
They're not they're not gonna take on Russia or something
like that. Very very small country, but super elite. Hamas

(06:54):
doesn't have that. Hamas launched a thousand person race. Well,
they butchered a thousand people in a raid against a
military superior power. That is a bonker's thing to do that.
We're not even talking about the morality of it. Tribal peoples,

(07:17):
borderland peoples have known throughout history you can't take it
that far. Yeah, you can raid this settlement, and you
can carry off this girl, and you can kill this person,
and you can do you can do these things. You
can't do a mass rape and slaughter event, because if
you do that, then the far superior military power is

(07:41):
going to be angry enough to take it seriously enough
and they're going to come wipe you out. And yet
Havas did it. Anyway, that's the kind of insanity and
hatred we're talking about here. Nah, not worth my time, Jesse.
Reading of Honor by Brad thor and I came across

(08:03):
the following statement quote as the character of America's politicians declined,
so too did the character of its people. They were linked.
That's that's true. Leadership does matter a lot, and we
should keep in mind though that love of country and

(08:28):
character things like that. Values manners. These things are taught.
You have to learn them, and it's not only from
your parents, although that is the ultimate source, and that's
you know, your best source for that love of country
and a sense of duty and things like that. It's
not just taught by your parents. It's ideally it's reinforced

(08:52):
in school, in your church on Sunday. When you go
off to a higher institution, it is taught there. You
are taught, you know, you know, back in the day,
you would be taught at universities that, yes, there's always
a level of snobbery that comes with that, oh we're
better than the peasants who didn't go to college, But

(09:14):
you would be taught that you will be a leader,
and that you have obligations that come with being a leader.
You have to take care of the country, you have
to take care of a business, you have to take
care of the people. You have an obligation as somebody
who has a higher level of education and or more money.
It comes with duty. It comes with that. That's not

(09:38):
taught at all by our institutions. Now, our institutions they
teach these vile little monsters that come through there to
be more educated via little monsters America, socks at socks.
This place is terrible white supremacy, ah, and that has
bled down. Leadership does matter, the leadership and the Democrat Party,

(10:00):
the elites in the media, in Hollywood, at universities. They
could turn down the temperature in this country if they wanted.
They don't want. That's why we are where we are.
No city is Jesse Kelly Show a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday.
Remember if you miss any part of the show, you
can download it iHeart, Spotify, iTunes gets your ask Doctor

(10:22):
Jesse Questions in for tomorrow Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
They're so upset that something's being done about the FBI.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
You have senators saying that they were wiretaft, which is
just a fantasy.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
That's not what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
What this was was Jack Smith trying to figure out
who Donald Trump was calling when he was trying to
delay the certification. This is according to my sources of
the twenty twenty election. He was talking to members of
Congress and it wasn't just he has multiple cell phones.
He goes through intermediaries and there was a reference to
this in the Smith report. He talks about it was

(10:58):
Trump callings of Congress, and he also talks about consulting
with Public Integrity about the proper way to investigate that
and how to obtain documents. So this was perfectly legitimate.
These senators were not targeted, they were not under investigation,
and they were essentially witnesses in this investigation.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
But they've made it into this fake.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Scandal, and now that it's having real world repercussions because
as you said, cash Ptel just announced not long ago
that he's firing FBI agents and disbanding a corruption squad.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
This is not the first.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Coruption squad they disbanded, by the way, they had previously
disbanded one.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, let go of the whole team. Oops, that's a
good start. Now they have to go to prison, but
that's a good start. A couple other housekeeping items I'm
sure you saw earlier in case you didn't. Once again,
the Senate Democrats, they they've voted not to reopen the government,

(11:52):
which is wonderful, wonderful news. It couldn't be more excited.
They voted not to reopen the government. Trump once again said, hey,
you need to open up the government or all these
firings are going to be permanent. We're furloughing half the
I R s. We're gonna furlough half the irs. It's
going to be permanent. At some point in time, we

(12:17):
have to stop threatening and we have to start doing.
We have to stop saying this is coming, this is coming,
this is coming, and we have to say it's here.
Welcome to the pain. I am hopeful that maybe tomorrow
that happens, maybe monday. But without that, without some level
of pain, what incentive do they have to make it stop?

(12:41):
Not much?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Chris Coons went on CNN and he said this about
Pam Bondi and her testimony yesterday.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I was really struck a casey by how aggressive combative
that Attorney General Bondi was today.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
I was struck by how aggressive and combat as she was.
You know what makes me angry about that. What makes
me angry about that is dork's like Chris Coons have
gotten to enjoy an entire career of being nasty to

(13:18):
every single Republican that comes before them, and so now
when Republicans stand up for themselves, they're just shocked. They're
just taking about WHOA what's she doing? Listen, Communists, you
know a lot of this comes back to Brett Kavanaugh.
They really didn't know. I really don't think they knew

(13:40):
how big of a deal, how much of a sea
change the Brett Kavanaugh hearings were, remember those. Look, I
don't even like Brett Kavanaugh, He's way too milk toast
for me. But the idea of losing the Supreme Court,
losing control of the Supreme Court was such a big
deal for the Communists they decided to do. They decided

(14:03):
to go all in in a ways, in ways we'd
never seen before, and they've done horrible things, horrible horrible
things to Clarence Thomas and others that they decided they
had to go all in on Brett Kavanaugh up to
the point they brought that unbelievable liar. Remember Christine blazey
Ford who was afraid to fly, but somehow flew everywhere

(14:25):
and she was assaulted by Kavanaugh, but there was never
any proof she ever even met Brett Kavanaugh. And they
even brought up a completely fake person and made up
a fake story. Senate Democrats in front of the entire
United States of America took this milk toast dork and
accused him of being an alcoholic gang rapist in front

(14:47):
of the country, and they thought, they thought they could
do that and nothing would ever change. Brett Kavanaugh changed
things in the minds a lot of people. In fact,
it wasn't It wasn't just you know, elected Republicans who
still have a long way to go. Normal people out

(15:08):
there watched the way these animals conducted themselves and they
were mortified, absolutely mortified that anybody could be that sick
and evil. This keeps happening to the communists in America.
They keep turning the dial up on everything to eleven
because they don't know any other way. And then what

(15:29):
it had What happens is you wake the other side
up to just how sick and evil you are, and
they change how they deal with you. You can't act any
way you want without it ever coming back to you.
And they they're always shocked when it comes back on them.

(15:52):
And like I said, it makes me mad because for
a long time they could get away with it. For
a long time we were infected with Mitt Romney, James Langford,
Eunich politics where we never did anything back and it
didn't get us anywhere. All right, all right, kid, is

(16:14):
the Jesse Kelly show on a fantastic Wednesday home Day.
It's always a fantastic day when we get to talk
about mining. I have always had a fascination with it
since I was a child. You remember, I grew up
right next to West Virginia. I grew up in Ohio,
so we'd always go down to West Virginia and check

(16:36):
things out down there. So I just love it. I
don't know why. Pulling things out of the ground and
the people who go into the ground, the whole endeavor
fascinates me endlessly, and I think it's unbelievably cool. And
Selena Zito wrote a really cool story about them for
The Washington Post. Selena, tell me about mining.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Oh my gosh, Jesse, it was the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Tell me. Tell me.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
So, get to the to the mine. You have they
give you like this really intense training and then you
get all this.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Equipment on What are you training in? What are you doing? Oh?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Learning all about safety? I mean the amount of measures
that they put in place so that you are safe.
In that mind, we're going twelve hundred feet down right,
the amount of safety measures that they put in place
every couple of feet so that no minor is isolated,
not found. There's tracking systems, there's AI. Uh, there's there's

(17:36):
breathable apparatus, hard hats. I mean it is like state
of the art, like spaceman astronaut stuff. So it's pretty cool.
And I got to put my steel toed boots and
fire retardant overalls on. But then you get into this
freight elevator sort of like the kind you see if

(17:57):
you get on the wrong elevator at the hospital. You know,
it's like oversized and opens up both sides, and it's
pristine inside, and you're like what, it's just like all
steel and shiny, and and you go down takes two
minutes to go down twelve hundred.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Feet, Yeah, two minutes.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
And you get down there, and and there's a double
set of doors, uh to go through, and that's to
keep everything safe in case there's something happens. Uh.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
How does that keep anything safe?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Well, because one can shut is something if you need
to block off bad air or fire in the oka
in mine. And so then you get on this thing.
It's called the man Trip and it basically looks like
the tram car the boardwalk, and and you go we

(18:59):
went three counties deep. We caught cross three counties. The
last the last coal mine we went into, we crossed
from into West Virginia in Ohio, but this one we
stayed into Pennsylvania, uh And, and we went to the
long walls. The long wall is this crazy machine that

(19:21):
that cuts out in layers like big jaws of go
three miles long and two thousand feet wide and just
cuts into the coal scene that that coal was then
goes onto a conveyor belt and with from that long
wall down down the coal mine, up into the just

(19:44):
the distribution center, onto a conveyor belt, onto a train
or a tugboat and out to col fired power plant.
One piece of coal only takes seven to ten hours
to get from the wall to your house. Isn't that crazy?
Seven seven to ten hours? It's crazy?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Okay? All right? So help me understand the physical labor
they're doing down there. Is it still the picks and
things like that? What do they do? What men do?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
It's all of machines. I mean they might have to
move something with a shovel, but there's no picks and
there's no donkeys. There's a lot of technology. I mean
it's hard work, right you are? It is definitely hard
and physical work, but it's not what you know, sort

(20:39):
of what you saw one hundred years ago. They're still
using shovels, they still use some klwing devices to get
at the coal seam and to explore where to go next,
because once a one long wall is exhausted, then you
make a tunnel to go to the next long wall.
It's fascinating. And what's really interesting is on the drive there,

(21:03):
you don't realize you're going through these beautiful rolling hills
and you and I basically grew up in the same region, right,
these beautiful rolling hills and these farms and very becolic scenes,
and under there, like under their feet, this mining is happening.

(21:23):
And coal mining is really really important, not just because
it's the most stable, right. That and natural gas those
and nuclear those are the most stable, right and energy
output in our country. Solar and wind cannot do it.
They're not stable, and you need stability so that the

(21:44):
grid is working. However, they're also not just important to
making steel making concrete, making defense products, but they're also
very very stable in the development of AI. While many
people on my profession believe their jobs are going to

(22:05):
be gone, a lot of white collar people believe their
jobs are going to be gone because of AI. I
will tell you this. The jobs for AI come from
natural gas, from coal, from nuclear because AI data power
centers need that energy.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Speaking with Selena, Zito wrote a fascinating piece for the
WAPO about minds and mining. Okay, Selena, I have I
have a couple of really nerdy questions, and I know
you're going to make fun of me, but I don't care.
What was the temperature, like, is it hot? Is it cold?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Oh, it's it's a really nice, like a comfortable sixty
five degrees and the air is cleaner than the air
above you. Yeah, the filtering systems are insane down there.
I remember the last time I went down to mine.
It was at like the height of COVID and by
the one way, the woman I went down with was pregnant.

(23:02):
But because of the air filtering systems there, and this
is when everyone was like masks crazy, we didn't have
to wear the masks women in Oh yeah, oh yeah,
there is about I think it was seventeen percent of
the population. And here's some other thing that's really interesting.
By the way, I texted you a gift link to

(23:25):
the story so that all your listeners can if you
want to tweet it, all your listeners can read it,
and you can see like these great photos right in
this story. But one of the things that is also
you know, kind of interesting down there in the mind
is I'm talking to these guys, like three of the
guys that are down there like had PhDs, and I'm like,

(23:47):
what are you doing down here? And they're like, yeah,
we love this. We did these as like summer jobs,
and we decided we didn't want to work in an office,
like we love this, And so you had a wide
variety of educational experiences down there. There are kids that
walk down to high school and start making one hundred

(24:09):
and four thousand a year, and they can with over
with overtime, they can make upwards of two hundred thousand
a year. The same went for people with bachelor's degrees
and PhDs, and they're you know, and and uh and
if you wanted to go to school, they'll pay for
you to go to school. Uh. And it's just it's

(24:30):
a really great industry. It's a very very safe industry,
much different than what people think it is. And their
focus on safety is just just something to be seen.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
See. This is why I've been telling people we can
start sending the children back down into the minds as well.
And I guess, I guess with the filtration system, you don't.
I guess you don't have any black lung problems, which
I was going to ask about Selina. Do they eat
down there?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, there's there's little rooms that they can go into,
like little conference rooms and.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Eat it down underground there a conferences.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
It's so cool.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yes, did you eat down there?

Speaker 3 (25:14):
No? No, I was like you, Jesse. I was all in, like,
let's do this and let's do that. And I God
blessed Dave McCormick for for for going along with my
you know, fits of fancy that I wanted to do this,

(25:34):
but you know, she was really curious about it, and
and it was just an outstanding experience. I hope people
read the story. I sent you the gift link. It's
an and the photos, right, aren't the photos amazing?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You know what I think we'll do. I think we'll
put the I think we're I think we're gonna put
that link up on the show's Twitter page that way
people can go to the show. Okay, so it's not
it should be Chris and Corey are gonna have it
up in thirty seconds. Okay, we're gonna have the show.
The gift link up at Jesse Kelly Show on Twitter,
and then you can go look up all the pictures
and stuff like that. Selena, I'm out of time. I'm

(26:11):
glad you don't have black bum. Thank you for coming on.
It's Selena Zito her stories in the Washington Post. Thank
you so much. Is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment
of The Jesse Kelly Show. I just learned so much
about mining. I'm practically a miner now. That was amazing. Anyway,
remember tomorrow's Ask Doctor Jesse Thursday. Get your questions emailed

(26:34):
in now to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Hey Jesse,
my name is Dave. By your definition, I'm an evil,
I'm evil, commy scum. We have nothing in common politically.
In fact, I find some of your views miles off
the reservation. I mostly listen for the unintentional comedy. This

(26:57):
is not why I'm writing, though, I find your history
segments highly engaging and fascinating. I'll admit I've learned quite
a bit. How about that. If you ever decide to
abandon political propaganda and do podcasts exclusively about history. I
will become a cheering fan. I know that's not happening,

(27:19):
but a street level comed dirt bag can dream. Have
a good one. Keep the fantastic history lessons coming. How
about that, Chris dude, You're welcome to listen anytime you
com me dirt back, and thank you for the compliment.
I hope you also enjoyed the Siege of Malta. Remember
I did part two tonight. If you missed part two,

(27:41):
the final part or part one from last night, podcasts free.
You can fast forward to all the political stuff if
your COMI streets come and you just want some history.
Just got an iHeart Spotify iTunes. It's all free, all right,
all right?

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Remember this? I remember I was talking about out the
state of our police forces. Because there's a headline NYPD
cops planned to vote with their feet if Ma'm Donnie wins,
you know, I mean, Bill Deblasio ran out enough of them,
a lot of them. And now if this guy wins,
that the last of the goodwins are going to bail.

(28:18):
And I was talking about how because of this and
because they've filled up these police departments in the big
cities with scumbags. You can't trust big city police departments anymore.
A bunch of dirt balls. I got this email Bronco.
I was listening to your Monday show where you discussed
the issue with police in blue cities. I retired from

(28:39):
a major South Texas police department some years back and
know for a fact it was very often that some
issues in an applicant's personal history are swept under the
carpet so they can be hired. At the time I retired,
the chief would review a summary of each applicant who

(29:00):
passed or were pushed through all the steps. We were
told to remove any hint of derogatory information from these summaries.
I can only surmise that this way, the chief could
have plausible deniability when he hired some of these dirt balls.
In addition, the chief could boast to the city manager

(29:21):
that they had seventy cadets in each academy class. They
usually graduated between forty and fifty, and the others were
fired or quit before the training was complete. In years before,
when the hiring rules were strictly enforced, the average sized
cadet class was about twenty five. So they changed and

(29:41):
will change the hiring rules to make it less stringent.
And even then there's a lot of discretion exercise to
allow applicants to proceed when the rule was cut and
dry that they should not. They always agonized over racial
and gender compositions of these classes. Of course, like I said,
diversity kills everything. Most of the upper management there was

(30:06):
only concerned with achieving higher rank, and thus the rot
runs deep. When we did have some stand up guys
in the upper ranks, they were kept far away from hiring,
and when we did get a sergeant or lieutenant who
would push back, they were transferred very quickly. Sorry for
the long email, Bronco. Their shows amazingly entertaining thanks to

(30:27):
Jewish producer Chris. I listen every single day, says I
can say his name, and his name is Chris. It's
just like we talked about a lot, and thank you
for that. These emails they show us the inside baseball
stuff that we talk about all the time. The rock
runs deep. It's really bad. These big city police departments

(30:52):
are not to be trusted. Sorry, those days are gone now,
but we don't want it to be that way because
we have such a level of respect, and we should
for people who strap it on and risk their lives
every day for us. But that's not necessarily the case
in big cities anymore because of years of rot. It's terrible, man,

(31:16):
it's terrible. Look it's rotting, like the dollar's rotting. You
see the dollar loss ten percent of its value already
this year. Inflation has not gone away. How much gold
do you have? Do you have any? I know you're
not made of money, but do you have any a

(31:36):
coin or two? If any? I hope you have something,
something concrete that can't be destroyed by these dirtball politicians
and they're insane spending ways. Please get something to protect yourself.
And while you're calling gold Code because they'll handle this
for you. Protect your retirement. Don't wake up tomorrow to

(32:02):
a popped bubble and be wiped out. Don't do that.
Get a hold of gold Code eight five five eight
one seven gold, or you can go to Jesse likes
goold dot com. Let gold Code take care of you.
