Medal Of Honor Monday featuring U.S. Army Vietnam War vet SPC.4 Alfred V. Rascon

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from WOOR The Jesse Kelly Show,
another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday.
And of course we're going to get into this. Don't worry,
it will be kid friendly. I promise. We'll get into
the dark stuff that's been happening inside the US intelligence community,

(00:22):
and like I said, it'll be safe for kids. Don't
worry about that. We'll talk about communists and control. Trump
had a lot of things to say today about the
Ukraine stuff, all that, so much more did this. I'll
get to some emails, other things coming up this hour
on the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show. But it is Monday.

(00:43):
Everyone knows one thing happens to start a second hour
every single Monday, and that is Metal of Honor Monday.
We take a citation every time you earn a medal
of honor. Anytime someone does, they do a write up
on it and we just read it. That's it. The men,
we honor the deeds. We hold these men up in

(01:03):
front of the next generation and say, look, that's what
you need to be. And as I've told you before,
I want to encourage you that you can do this
and should with your family with your school. There's nothing
political about this, or you one of the good teachers
who listened to the show. Your class could do projects
on these guys. They'd love it, I might point out.
They'll love it. Men and women, they love this stuff.

(01:26):
Who doesn't love heroism? He rose, everybody does. It's important
these names. We don't know these names. You know, we
know the name of all the dirt balls on TV
and everything. We don't know these names. We should all
know these names. So we also take emails suggestions. Remember
you can email us. We love your emails. Love hate
death threats. Ask doctor Jesse questions of course and Medal

(01:49):
of Honor suggestions. This one said Medal of Honor nominee
Alfred Vrascone specialists for US Army Vietnam guys should have
died and is probably still carrying shrapnel one tough onmbreay. Wow,
that's quite an endorsement from somebody. So let's walk through

(02:10):
this and find out what mister Rascone went through on
behalf of this country. Oh almost forgot, I'm supposed to
do birthplace now. Alfred V. Rascone, who would later became
an American citizen, I might point out was actually not
born in America. He was born in Chihuaba, Mexico. And
part of the reason I'm reading this is yes, his heroism,

(02:32):
but I also wanted the opportunity to say chihuaa on
the radio. Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond.
It's medal of Honor Monday specialist for Alfred Rascone distinguished

(02:52):
himself by a series of extraordinarily courageous actions. On the
sixteenth of March nineteen sixty, while assigned as a medic
to the reconnaissance Platoon, Headquarters Company, first Battalion, five hundred
and third Division, one hundred and seventy third Airborne Brigade,
while moving to reinforce its sister battalion under intense enemy attack,

(03:16):
the reconnaissance platoon came under heavy fire from a numerically
superior enemy force. The intense enemy fire from crew served
weapons in grenades severely wounded several point squad soldiers. Specialist Rascone,
ignoring directions to stay behind shelter until covering fire could

(03:37):
be provided, made his way forward. He repeatedly tried to
reach the severely wounded point machine gunner laying on an
open enemy trail, but was driven back each time by
the withering fire. Disregarding his personal safety, he jumped to
his feet, ignoring flying bullets and exploding grenades to reach

(03:58):
his comrade. To protect him from further wounds. He intentionally
placed his body between the soldier and enemy machine guns,
sustaining numerous shrapnel injuries in a serious wound to the hip.
Disregarding his serious wounds, he dragged the larger soldier from
the fire rake trail. Hearing the second machine gunner yelled

(04:22):
that he was running out of ammunition, Specialist Rascone, under
heavy enemy fire, crawled back to the wounded machine gunner,
stripping him of his bandoliers of ammunition, giving them to
the machine gunner, who continued his suppressive fire. Quick pause,
Sorry about that. The wounded machine gunner wasn't wounded anymore.
He was dead. He had to crawl back to his

(04:43):
dead body and take his amo off him anyway. Specialist Rascone,
under heaving, crawled back to the gun. Specialist Rascone, fearing
the abandoned machine gun, its ammunition, and spare barrel could
fall into enemy hands, made his way to retrieve them.
On the way, he was wounded in the face and
torso by grenade fragments, but disregarded these wounds to recover

(05:05):
the abandoned machine gun, ammunition and spare barrel items, enabling
another soldier to provide an added suppressive fire to the
pinned down squad. In searching for the wounded, he saw
the Point grenadier being wounded by small arms fire and
grenades being thrown at him. Disregarding his own life and
his numerous wounds, Specialist Rascone reached and covered him with

(05:29):
his body, absorbing the blast from exploding grenades and saving
the soldier's life, but sustaining additional wounds to his body.
While making his way to the wounded Point squad leader,
grenades were hurled at the sergeant, again in complete disregard
for his own life. I can't believe this guy's still alive.
He reached and covered the sergeant with his body, absorbing

(05:52):
the full force of the grenade explosions. Once more. Specialist
Rascone was critically wounded by shrapnel, but disregarding his own
wounds to continue to search and aid the wounded. Severely wounded,
he remained on the battlefield, inspiring his fellow soldiers to
continue the battle. After the enemy broke contact, he disregarded

(06:14):
aid for himself, instead treating the wounded and directing their evacuation.
Only after being placed on the evacuation helicopter did he
allow aid to be given to him. Specialist Rascown's extraordinary
valor in the face of deadly enemy fire, his heroism
in rescuing the wounded, and his gallantry by repeatedly risking

(06:36):
his life for his own fellow soldiers, are in keeping
with the highest tradition of military service, and reflect great
credit upon himself his unit in the United States Army.
And I'll give you just a couple little tidbits about
that that I thought were really really cool, just a
couple little details surrounding it. First, Alfred Wolverine was somehow

(07:01):
still alive after all that shrapnel and bullets and things
like that. But you can imagine his physical condition. His
physical condition was such that they gave him his last rites.
They said, well, he's going to die, let's go ahead
and make sure you can go be with Jesus, Alfred.
There's no way you're living through that. But he did.

(07:23):
He lived through that. And you know how we talk
all the time about these medals of honor and how
there are all kinds of dead guys who never came
home who are as brave, and there are the lower medals.
I hate to say that, but the lower medals. You
read some of those citations and you say to yourself,
how in the world did that guy not get a
Medal of honor? Well, Alfred Rascombe did not get a

(07:45):
Medal of honor either for this. Initially he got a
silver Star, which has no chump. Right, you get a
silver star, you did something ridiculous, and there's a lot
of silver star guys who are dead right that you're amazing.
But he got a silver star. Okay, gets a silver star.
He goes, he recovers from his wounds in Japan. He
ends up actually getting back into the military as a reservist,

(08:08):
as an advisor in Vietnam. Has this kind of you know,
long career, works with the DEA and Panama. That's a
bunch of cool stuff. Just a cool dude, Just a
cool friggin dude. He ends up having a reunion with
his unit. He gets with his unit. This is after
years and years and years, and his guys, at least

(08:30):
two of the guys he saved, saw that he had
only a silver star. And they were mortified because they
were there that day and they said, excuse me, a
silver star. They decided to start pushing and pressing and
pushing and pressing. They got their congressman to start pushing
and pressing and pushing and pressing. Finally their congressman got

(08:52):
in Bill Clinton's ear. This is under Bill Clinton there.
So that tells you how much lag time there was. Hey,
mister President, read citation. Dude, that's silver star. Come on now.
Bill Clinton, to his credit, was the one who read
it and relented and said, uh, okay, yeah, that's that's
Let's go ahead and give him the old upgrade, shall we.
Now he's a Medal of Honor recipient. How about that?

(09:16):
And one final word on this. Maybe you caught it,
maybe you didn't, that it was the point man who
got killed. There was a point man who got gunned
down immediately. Just Vietnam guys are so worthy of your respect.
Walking point is always dangerous. It's always dangerous being the

(09:38):
guy in front. Sorry, sorry, if you're in point, you're
in the front. In Vietnam, they rotated him out a
lot because it was a death sentence to be up
there too. Long after all, who's gonna get shot first,
Who's gonna step on the land mine they put in
the trail, Who's gonna the point? Man. It's a very
dangerous job, very very dangerous, wore very terrible war, and

(10:02):
the heroes of that war deserve to be honored. And
mister Rascone, props to you. All Right, I'm going to
get to the icky stuff with the intelligence community in
a moment, and like I said, I'll be very very careful,
and it will be as always family friendly. That is
a little bit of ugliness we have to discuss. I'll

(10:24):
tell you something I remember, like it was yesterday, the
first time I went hunting with my dad for big,
bigger game. Antelope isn't big, but it was your first
time I'd been hunting without rabbits or squirrels things like that.
This was the first time i'd hunted bigger game, first
time I got one. I still have the picture of

(10:48):
me and my old man and my first antelope. But
you see, it's not a digital picture because this was
before the cell phone era. It's it's just a polaroid,
is all it is. Legacy Box does It's more than
digitizing pictures. You know, digitizing VHS tapes or whatnot. It's

(11:08):
taking every memory that's on that camcorder tape, that's on
that hard picture, and it is preserving it forever. It'll
outlive you. What they do with Legacy Box is amazing.
And if I may suggest something, buy one for your parents,

(11:30):
not yourself. Buy a Legacy Box for your parents, Send
it to them, have them put those pictures in there
so you can have them on your phone, on your
computer forever. They'll digitize it all for you. Half off
right now. Legacybox dot com, slash Jesse. Legacybox dot com
slash Jesse. We'll be back. You're listening to the oracle.

(11:56):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a day reminding you.
You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
You can go to Iheartspotify, iTunes, subscribe, leave us a
review discussing how big my hands are, so on and
so forth. Before I get to the Ikey intelligence stuff,

(12:17):
I just want to say that there are things you
don't fully appreciate when you're young. I'm the same way
I was the same way. I admit that there are
things you don't fully appreciate when you're young, getting a
haircut was always boring as a young boy, sucked, I

(12:37):
don't want to go get my haircut? Why do I
have to get my haircut? But you know, you know
how dad was. I am not raising a hippie all
that stuff. So the hair had to be trimmed short.
But you know what, never ever, ever happened to me
when I was young, ever, and it happened to me boo,
time is it now? About four or five hours ago?

(12:57):
It happened to me as I sat in the barber's
chair to getting my haircut, which I realized, Look, I
don't need your comments, Okay, I realized me getting a
haircut is easy, all right? It was buzzed down. Whatever
I get this, looks at me, take takes the clippers
off my head, looks at me and says, oh, I

(13:18):
didn't know exactly what that meant. Walks over, grabs a
pair of tweezers, reaches down and plucks a hair off
the end of my nose. I'm not talking about the
nostrils of the standard you know, old man nostril hair. No, No,

(13:42):
I mean like the pointy tip just reaches down, grabs it,
just rips it out of there that ever happens to
you when you're young. What, Chris, What could I not
see it? Well? I wasn't looking there, Chris. I'm sorry
I wasn't. I understand. It's in the middle of my face.

(14:03):
It's not like it was two feet long. Okay, it
was little. And you know, my eyes aren't exactly what
they need to be. And I don't like to wear
glasses because it makes me feel nerdy. Why do you
have to drag me down when I'm exposing personal things
about myself here. I'm tired of going to the barber
and then saying, do you want me to do your eyebrows?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I don't need you to do my eyebrows. What Chris?
Why don't I just cut my hair at home? They
don't know how to style it all?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Headline? You know what, I can't even read the headline
because this is such a disgusting story and there are
kids listening. So I'm going to do it this way.
The article is in the City Journal if you want
to go look it up. It's Christopher Rufo's reporting, So
I definitely don't want to take credit for it, and
it's outstanding reporting, but I'll give you the boiled down

(14:52):
PG version of it. The NSSA, you know, the NSSA,
the ones who gather all the information out there in cyberspace.
It's a critical intelligence arm of the country. A bunch

(15:13):
I don't mean one or two, A bunch of intelligence
officials at the NSSA have had an online chat room.
And in this chat room, gosh, this is difficult. I
really can't give you any details of the story and
make it kid friendly. In this chat room they discuss

(15:35):
some of the most disgusting, degenerate sexual things you've ever
heard in your life. Tranny stuff doesn't even begin to
describe the kind of stuff I'm looking at. And I
have the direct quotes, which I'm not going to read
any of them for you here. I'm so grossed out

(15:58):
it's taking everything in me not to vomit during the
middle of this radio segment. My point in pointing out
this article in the Wonderful Research is not to do
all the gross perverted stuff. I'm really not doing that.
My point in all this is these are the people
who not only keep our secrets, they seek out the

(16:21):
secrets of others, of enemies of the state. That's really
the point in the National Security Agency finding the secrets
of others, get that stuff online. How much blackmail material
do you think our mortal enemies have on the intelligence
officers who work inside of America's intelligence community. If this

(16:44):
kind of thing is so prevalent that it was easily
discovered and now there's an article about it, a publicized
article about it, this is the one we know about. Remember,
every time you see something like this, you should say
to yourself, Okay, that's what I know. How much don't
I know? This is the one we know about. And

(17:08):
this is the real true danger of filling up your
government with a bunch of dirty, degenerate communists. When you
do that, ah, I know, I know exactly why they
do it. They do it because these people are most
likely to be the most loyal foot soldiers there are
in the cause of the revolution. I get it, I

(17:29):
get it. But when you fill up your government with
these degenerate freaks, what you hand is your enemy the
ultimate tool he needs to compromise your national security apparatus.
How many of these emails, text pictures? Imagine what's out
there on these guys. How many would China need to

(17:51):
go show one of these guys and say, hey, I
can send these pictures to your mom, or you can
tell me what America knows about our nuclear operation? Are
we getting yet? How deep the rot goes? And on
that note, I'm going to talk about the government recruitment
of these degenerate freaks and then we'll do some email hangout.

(18:14):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Okay,
you know what speaking of? No more, mister nice guy.
Before I read the emails, I have to have you
know what I need? An opinion, Chris Corey. I guess
I'll rely on you, two idiots. Was I being rude

(18:34):
when this happened? In fact, maybe this will just become
a news segment. Was Jesse being rude because I don't
feel like I was being right? No, Chris, don't say
yes before I even tell you the story. You don't
even know what I'm talking about. So here's what happened.
You know, I've encouraged you before. If you're looking to
save money to buy a steer and have it butchered,

(18:57):
you don't have to look at it, don't worry. You
can go to Butcher's. You can go to places like
that and say I want to buy a steer, and
then you always have a fridge full of beef. If
you're thinking that's too much money, I would agree. We
generally split one with another family or two. You can
do that. You two three families split up a steer.
You always have a freezer full of burger you have

(19:17):
a freezer full of steaks's if you have boys, especially
if you eat a lot of beef, it's a great
way to save some money. Get some quality beef in there.
Don't roll your eyes, Chris, Okay, Anyway, we always do this.
We always try to have a freezer full of beef.
When we run out, we go try to find well.
I have friends I do it with. We split a steer,

(19:39):
making sure we have some beef in the freezer. Now
I had done this recently, and this is the first time.
It was awful. It was just look it happens. I
Am not going to pretend to be a rancher or
a beef expert. There are plenty who listen, so I'm

(20:00):
sure I'll get a lecture on how this works, and
I'll welcome it. Actually, but this almost awful. The meat
was unspeakably bad. And you know, I don't exactly need
Japanese wagou to be happy. I've had steak and eggs
at waffle House more times than I can count. Chris,
it was so tough, like you couldn't eat it. We're

(20:22):
stuck doing things, marinaing it for two three days, pounding it,
just pounding it out for chicken fried steaks. Virtually, all
steak is okay if you just, you know, give it
a good pounding. But not this stuff. It's like beef jerky.
It's almost like this thing had some sort of a disease.

(20:42):
It's bad. We should have just burgered the whole thing.
In fact, now that I bring it up, everything we
have that's not Burger, we're taken back and we're just
telling them just burger it, just burger the whole thing. Well,
met Camburger, help her with it. So it was that bad.
On Saturday night, I go out to dinner with ab.
We get back from dinner, a bunch of neighbor friends

(21:05):
of ours say, hey, why don't you come over, we'll
play some cards. You know'll come over, we'll hang out
for a little bit. Yeah, sure, we're not doing anything.
Let's go over. So there's a few of us over there,
and the ones who are over there are the ones
who split the steer. Now, I didn't know, because I
went through my one buddy to split the steer. I

(21:26):
actually didn't know that in buying this particular steer, we
were helping a young man with a scholarship. Okay, don't
think that I'm a nice guy or charitable. I didn't
even know when I bought the steer. I found out
on Saturday night. Okay, but we found out, Oh that steer.
Glad you got the steer. It helped this young man

(21:48):
out with the scholarship. So I said, well, as bad
as it was, he better not turn out to be
a dirt ball. Look on Chris's faces exactly to look
everyone in the party had right now. I don't think
that's that rude. I thought, that's a very what Chris.
What Chris said? That's fine if you know he's not

(22:11):
in the room with me. No, there were no kids all,
there were no adults. He was not He was not there.
That's exactly what I said. What's the problem I got
the geeze Jesse, Oh my gosh, what is wrong with that?
I was hoping, Look, if I have to eat bad meat,
I hope he Earns. It is all I'm saying, what
Chris or any of them related to the kid? I

(22:32):
don't know. I actually never asked who the scholarship is
for what. Well, It's true, I don't care if they
were related. He better not turn out to be a
dirt ball, whoever it is. I don't care if it's
your son. If I have to eat an entire freezer
full of meat that sucks that bad, that kid better
go on to cure cancer or something like that. As
bad as the beef is, drop like three hundred dollars
on that Jesse. Is this common sense? Make our European

(22:56):
allies mad and suck up to a murder tyrant putin? Okay,
all right, I guess we'll do some Russia Ukraine talk.
Make our European allies mad. In fact, you said long
time European allies and suck up to a murdering tyrant. Putin.
All right, So a couple questions. I'm actually not going

(23:20):
to be rude at all, because this is this is
the good mental experiment to go through. Here. You say
you call them our long time European allies. Let's say
I was in the in the Marine Corps with a buddy.
And let's say we fought in Iraq together. We were

(23:43):
in combat together, tough times together, ah the blood and
guts and misery, and he looked out for man I
looked out for him, and that was good. And then
we get back from Iraq and we both get out
of the Marine Corps. And let's say he starts to
lose his way, lose his mind. Let's say one day

(24:06):
I find out he's stolen my debit card and he
bought himself five hundred dollars worth of beef with it.
Let's hope the meat was higher quality. Let's say he
borrowed my car, put two flat tires on it, brought
it back. Let's say he hit on my wife. Let's
say he drives by my house and throws trash in

(24:29):
the lawn. This goes on for twenty thirty years. Is
he still my ally because we did great things together once?
Is that? Is there no expiration date on that? I
want to focus on this for a moment, long time.
European allies. Length and quality are two very very different things, Chris,

(24:55):
grow up. Length and quality are two very very different things.
Why are they our allies? If you could, if you
could put that into words. Right now, I'm really asking
I want you to think about this. Yes, no, no, no, no,
stop stopping now, let me stop you. Every question I
ask during this discussion, there's a rule. I have a

(25:16):
rule for it. You can't make it about World War two.
That's that's the only rule. That's all I'm asking. No
world War two. The forties are gone. No World War two.
So let me ask you again, our longtime European allies.
Why is Germany our ally right now? UK? Why are

(25:39):
they are ally right now? France, Brussels, anyone? What are they?
What are they providing for us right now? Are they
still what they were? Longtime European allies. Longtime European allies

(26:02):
who currently arrest their citizens for the most basic free
speech in the world. Longtime European allies who routinely publicly
condemn us, come out against us. We provide all of
the national defense for Europe, all of the national defense.

(26:22):
Let me ask you after a let's pick your national disaster. Now,
North Carolina after Hurricane Helen, tell me how many German
groups came into North Carolina to help the good people Hawaii? Hey,
Germans love Hawaii. How many people after that Lahina fire.
How many people from the UK. How many members of

(26:46):
the UK government came out to help us? How many
I'm tired of being told longtime allies from people who
haven't been allies in ages. I again, stop, stop, stop.
Hitler's gone. I swear on my life he's dead. Hitler,

(27:06):
It's gone. I want to know why they're considered long
time allies. Let's just start there and then you know what,
Now that will set that aside. Let's discuss the putin
aspect of this. Who Actually, I don't like it all,
but let's discuss this in a frank way. Before we
discussed that, we had a little family dust up on Saturday.

(27:29):
During the day, I decided I wanted to watch a
family movie. I wanted it to be educational, so I
suggested we watched Shooter. The boys were all about it.
Bob thought maybe that wasn't as educational as it should
have been. Then I tried to move on and I said, well, okay,
if we can't watch Shooter, let's watch We were Soldiers Again.

(27:50):
Some pushback from people in the house, we decided to
do something different as a family. We decided to do
the courses from Hillsdale one of them, actually the Roman
Republic course. We decided to do it as a family.
Does that sound boring? Well, One, it was free. What
I'm telling you about is free. Two we laughed, We

(28:14):
enjoyed it. It was interesting. My boys, my two teenage sons,
were riveted. So was I. So was my wife, who
doesn't even like that stuff. Hillsdale was giving us free education,
more than forty free online courses. Free. What I'm telling
you about is no cost. Do what as a family

(28:37):
Hillsdale dot edu slash jesse go nerd out for free.
It's better than TV. We'll be back. Get the cure
for rhinos. It is the Jesse Cally's show. Answering an email,
and I guess we're just gonna go ahead and deal
with some of this Russia Ukrainian update stuff because the

(28:57):
guy said, is it now? I'm not insulting the guy
who wrote the email, so don't think that I am.
He said, is it common sense? We're making angry our
longtime European allies. And I just shot that down a
little bit. To suck up to a murdering tyrant, putin
suck up to a murdering tyrant. Putin again, Allow me
to ask which part of the peace steal is sucking

(29:23):
up to Putin? Which part if you could, if you
could point to it specifically, tell me which part of
the Ukraine Russian peace steel do you consider to be
sucking up to Putin. The reason I don't have to
wait for your answer is there's no peace steal. There
is no peace steal none. It is not a thing

(29:47):
that exists. What exists are the start of negotiations. We
cannot have a Ukrainian Russian peace steal without the consent
of all parties involved. Ukraine has to consent. Russia, because
they actually have the most leverage, because they hold the
Ukrainian territory, they have to consent. They have to consent.

(30:13):
I don't understand this childlike view of the world. We
need everyone's consent to come to a peace deal agreement.
They have fought a vicious meat grinder, bloody war for
three years. Have you seen I think it's in Kiev.
I'm almost positive it's in Kiev. Why don't I want

(30:33):
to still call it Kiev? It sounds so much better anyway,
I think it's in Kiev. Have you seen the memorial
they have set up with flags for the dead Ukrainian soldiers.
It looks like you could fill up ten football fields
with it. Every flag represents a Ukrainian man that will
not be a father. He is no longer anybody's son.

(30:55):
He's vapor now. Butchery same thing on the Russia. They've
fought for three years. Do you want it to end well, yeah,
but with Putin's defeat. Okay, I give you that. I
hate Vladimir Putin. I hate all tyrants. It is my rule.
In case you're gonna email me and try to defend Putin.

(31:15):
I hate any leader who denies his people the electoral process.
If you try to arrest your political opponents, I hate you.
That applies to Vladimir Putin, it applies to Zelenski, who
did the exact same thing. It applies to Joe Biden,
who did the exact same thing. If you have your
political opponent arrested, you are a tyrant and a scumbag.

(31:36):
So I hate Vladimir Putin. Okay, you hate Vladimir Putin.
We can't give in, Okay, who's we? Because you're not
fighting Ukraine can't give in. So let's be honest. You're
being brave with Ukrainian blood. You're being brave with Ukrainian
blood because it makes you feel good, it makes you
feel virtuous. We can't give in, all right, It's been

(31:58):
three years. Despite all the equipment, all the money, Russia
is still there. Ukraine has been unable to get them out.
Can you give me some idea how long they should
how long this should go on? Anything, as long as

(32:21):
it takes, really with someone else's life, some of else.
I mean, can't we come to an agreement? Can't you
and I at least come to an agreement that this
does have to end? At some point? It does? So
that's how wars go. It ends at some point, doesn't
always end the way you want or the way I want.
So back to this sucking up to a murdering tyrant Putin.

(32:46):
These are negotiations. Trump's sounding hopefully within weeks.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, I think so, right, don't you think so? I'd
like to ask, have you we could end it within
weeks if we're smart, if we're not.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
He's not just talking to Putin again, that's a media line.
It's talking to Lina.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I will be meeting with President's Olenskin. In fact, he
may come in this week or next week to sign.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
The agreement, and which should be nice. I'd love to
meet him, would meet at the Oval office. So the
agreement's being worked on now. They're very close to a
final deal. It'll be a deal with rare earths and
various other things, and he would like to come and
understand it here to sign it, and that would be
great with me.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well, he can't talk to Putin.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I think getting very close to getting an agreement where
where we get our money back over a period of time.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
What if we even get our money back. Oh, but
by the way, along the Putin line.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I think once you have a ceasfire, it's going to end.
Because they're not going from a ceasfire back to war.
I think people have had it. Therefore, I'm just laying
I was able to help because there was no commune
indication with Russia until I came along.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Biden didn't communicate.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
He couldn't communicate with his own child. So Biden didn't communicate.
He couldn't be It was terrible. He hadn't spoken to
Putin in three years.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
You're trying to end the war.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
People are being killed every week. Thousands of people are
being killed soldiers in this case, mostly also towns.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
You know, his missiles go in. Well, he shouldn't talk
to Putin. Putin's the enemy. Do you have any idea
how often American presidents spoke to the Soviet leader during
the Cold War. During the height of the Cold War,
it's famous there was a phone, a direct line between

(34:41):
the Oval Office and the Soviet Oval Office. Well, their
version of it, a direct line. President can pick it
up anytime. Leaders, even ones we are at war with,
speak to each other, because that's how you bring about
an end two three years of carnage. Yet Chris said,

(35:04):
we did it in Vietnam. Of course we did. We
did it in Vietnam world War two. But we spoke
to Hitler. We spoke to Hitler, we spoke to hero hero.
These are things you do during war, trying to bring
about an end to the war. In this modern America

(35:25):
where really what it's happened. What's happened is history has
been so dumb down. It's not only been dumbed down,
it's been turned into a religion. World War two most
definitely they dumbed it down. They teach people like two
bullet points, then they turn it into a religion. And
now everybody thinks that every Ukrainian on the planet should

(35:45):
die in service to I don't know what defeed in Putin.
That's crazy. Stop. Let's wrap it up. This has been
a podcast from wor
