Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Jesse Kelly Shoe another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show
on a wonderful, wonderful Monday, and we have all kinds
of stuff this hour. We're gonna talk more about the
communist rich kids that turn out to be genocidal monsters.
That'll be a good time before we get to that,
and emails and other things. You know what time it is,

(00:22):
It's Monday, start of the second hour on Monday, and
so that means it's Medal of Honor Monday time. Every Monday,
we do the same thing. We simply take a medal
of honor citation and we read it. We remember their names,
we remember their deeds, and these names are not known,
they're not most people will have never heard of these people. Now,

(00:46):
this name in particular has actually been in the news
over the last week, and we got a bunch of
emails requesting this one. You may remember, and I'm not
going to go into all this, that the United States
Navy named a ship after Harvey Milk, the gay activist. Yeah,
that's what happens when you elect Democrats set him out aside.

(01:08):
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the ship has
a new name, Oscar v. Peterson. A lot of people
heard that and they thought to themselves, why are we
naming a ship after a Supreme Court case. Well, no,
his name was Oscar Werner Peterson and he was a
chief water tender. This was during World War Two. I'm

(01:31):
going to read this citation, which is unbelievably short, and
then I'm going to explain it in a bit more detail.
I am going to warn you right now that, uh,
I'm going to have to get a little bit graphic
when I describe what he did. This is a family

(01:52):
friendly show now in always it always will be. You
can listen with your children. That will never ever change.
But the injuries and what people go through, I'm going
to have to explain it in a touch more detail
because I mean, this citation just is grossly inadequate. And
then I'll play taps. When it's done, you'll see why.

(02:12):
In the end, Chris, without further ado.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's medal
of Honor Monday and he was born in Prentice, Wisconsin.
For extraordinary courage and conspicuous heroism above and beyond the

(02:36):
call of duty while in charge of a repair party
during an attack on the USS No Show by the
enemy Japanese aerial forces on the seventh of May nineteen
forty two. Lacking assistance because of injuries to the other
members of his repair party and severely wounded himself, Peterson,
with no concern for his own life, closed the bulkhead

(02:59):
to bulkhead stop valves and in doing so received additional burns,
which resulted in his death. His spirit of self sacrifice,
loyalty characteristic of a fine seaman, was in keeping with
the highest traditions of US Naval service, and he gallantly
gave his life in the service of his country. Now,

(03:20):
that is an absurdly abridged version of what Oscar Peterson did. First,
let's discuss a couple things that we don't often discuss
or aren't often discussed when it comes to naval combat.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
We'll focus on World War two in the Pacific. War.
One is have you ever wondered how they get gas?
You know, today, we know we have nuclear powered ships
that can just go and go and go and go
and go, But we didn't have that back then. The
ships required fuel. I called it gas. It wasn't gas,
but the ships required fuel. No, you can't just take

(03:56):
off in an aircraft carrier from Hawaii and the globe
on a single tank. That's not how it works. And
think about the size of our fleet, how many ships.
That's a lot, how much fuel a lot? We had
fuel ships. That's what this was. That's what V. Peterson

(04:17):
is on a ship that was full of fuel for
the other ships. Right now, that's a critically important job.
You know who knew it was a critically important job.
The Japanese. The Japanese were well aware that without fuel,
that wonderful US Navy's not going anywhere. So to be

(04:39):
on one of these ships was not safe. To be
on one of these ships was actually extremely dangerous. It's
just like being on one of the aircraft carriers. Those
were the ones they wanted. And combine that with this
little tidbit. It's an obvious point. But the ship is
full of fuel. It's unbelievably flammable. Now let's go to

(05:01):
the other portion of this, the part that isn't sexy,
but it's honestly, it's some of the most bravery I've
ever seen in my life because the terror around the circumstances.
The repair crews on our naval ships, on our navy ships.
We light Look, we lionize the guns, right, we want to.
We picture the guy and the machine guns shooting down

(05:23):
Japanese zeros as they're coming in. And that's cool, isn't
That's cool? Look at these guns he's shooting. But it's
the cruise once a ship is wounded that have to
go down into the dark, the hot dark, the flooding dark,
to attempt to do things that will save the ship

(05:46):
from going all the way down. And this is not
done for the most part up on the surface with
fresh air. You are going down into the depths of Look,
it would look like it would feel like hell, That's
what it would be. Now, I have discussed this before

(06:07):
and I'm gonna do this as delicately as i can,
but we have to explain it. Scalding. You know what
scalding is. It's not flame burns. They are steam burns.
You ever been around hot steam, even walked into a

(06:28):
steam room at the gym, maybe got a little too
close to the steam coming out. Steam burns are horrific.
And the men who died when the steam room got
scalded to death in World War two, to hear the
descriptions of their wounds is unimaginable. Their eyes melt out,

(06:51):
their skin dangles off their body like ropes, their lungs
melt It's an unbelievably awful way to go. Oscar V.
Peterson took his repair crew. This man, remember, was born

(07:11):
in eighteen ninety nine. How about that for a connection
from the past. He'd been in the Navy over twenty years.
By this time. He had a wife who he adored
and two sons who he also adored. Been in the
navy twenty years. His tanker this is during the Battle
of the Coral Sea. The Japanese dive bombers hit his tanker.
The tanker was in grave danger. He took his repair

(07:35):
crew down into hell and an attempt to salvage the
ship from going all the way up in flames and
going underneath the waves. Well, like I already said, you
were descending into a world of flame and darkness and
steam and water. And it's just a mixture of every

(07:56):
horrible way you can imagine, every horrible thing you can imagine.
His entire crew gets wounded or dies. He is the
last man left. Now. I want to paint this picture
for you, and I want you to imagine what you
would do, and you don't have to tell anybody, you
don't have to be ashamed. But he was staring at

(08:19):
the steam. Past the steam were bulkhead doors, doors that
he had to physically grab close and secure, and in
order to do that, he had to stand in the steam.

(08:42):
He had to make the conscious choice in order to
save his crew, the entire boat, and everybody on it.
He had to walk into the steam and not just
breeze through it. Okay, hold your breath really quick, burn
a little bit. No, no, no, no no. He had to
stand in it and closed these doors while his face, arms,

(09:05):
everything was melting on him while he saved this ship.
Like I said, the citation, there are so many citations
we read that are grossly inadequate. Now you understand why
this man deserved to have his name on a ship

(09:25):
a little bit more than Harvey Milk, and why it's
a wonderful thing that this happened, and we are going
to play taps in his honor. Obviously I should also

(10:28):
note I think I glossed over this point. He did
not die that day. They actually managed to get him
off the ship. He saved who knows how many lives
and then lived in agony. I don't even want to
think about for two more days before he finally passed
from his wounds. But that's bravery right there. Wow, I

(10:52):
couldn't do it. That's bravery. All right, Let's move on,
let's get back. Let's talk some politics. Let's talk about
the rich kid imanists who've murdered so many people. AOC's
in the news, this want to be mayor of New York,
other things. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
Wonderful Monday, reminding you you can email the show Jesse

(11:12):
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. In fact, let's go to
one of these right now, because AOC is in the news.
This dirty communist men Donnie in New York is in
the news. This guy says, hey, Oracle, I just saw
man Donnie interviewed on Meet the Press. He checks us
all the box you've taught us for years, using sugary

(11:33):
language to hide the death cults goals. He comes across
as articulate, even reasonable as he spouts off his agenda
for the people. I bet if a journalists had interviewed
young Pulpop he would have sounded exactly like this. Well,
let's talk about this again, because this is something we
have to be aware of. The Communist You know how

(11:56):
we discussed in the opening hour about the world of
make believe. They create a world of make belief and
maintain a world of make believe at all times. Most
almost every really, with the exception of Stalin and very
few others, almost every communist dictator, mass murdering piece of

(12:16):
trash has been a rich kid. Did you know that?
And you know what else, Almost every single one of
them have lied about that fact. They grow up wanting
for nothing, but they need some sort of a struggle,
some sort of a purpose in life. Maybe they had
bad parents, maybe parents were neglectful, maybe they learned it

(12:38):
in school, But eventually they develop this god complex and
their purpose in life is going to be to lead
some sort of a peasant revolt. That's how they always
see themselves. In so doing, they kill more people than
any other religion in the history of the world in

(13:00):
such a short period of time. No religion in history
has killed as fast as Communism has killed in Almost
every single one of them have been rich kids who
pretend they're not rich kids. This man, Donnie guy, his
mother is a bill or a millionaire, multi multimillionaire director,
Bollywood director. His father is a long tenured professor. This

(13:24):
is a human being who grow up wealthy, nice cars,
private planes, first class in the very least five star hotels.
There's video of him eating rice with his hands. Because
he quote feels for Third world people. He speaks like this.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
There are also other issues that we firmly believe in,
whether it's BDS right, or whether it's the end goal
of seasonal means of.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Production, seizing the means of production. He speaks like this.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
What the purpose is about this entire project. It's not
simply to raise clash consciousness, but to win socialists and
obviously raising class conscious and syncritical part of that.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Did you know AOC isn't from the Bronx. Every time
you turn on the television and you see AOC's face,
she's always I'm I'm from the Bronx, I'm the Bronx.
I'm a Bronx girl. I'm a bro You don't mess
with the Bronx girl.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
AOC's from the Burbs. Heoc is from a place called
York Town. Everyone's been making fun of her. She pretends
like she grew up in the hood, AOC is from suburbia.
So why the act, ma'am Donnie too? Why stuff rice

(14:39):
into your face with your hands like some sort of
an animal? Why the act? Well, it's always an act.
They're always spoiled, bitter, little rich kids who go on
to murder people by the million and feel like they're
the good guys while.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
They do it. And don't do not be dismissive of
America's communists because this isn't Cambodia, because this isn't China,
because this isn't the Soviet Union. Our communists here in
this country are every bit as murderous and demonic as

(15:18):
any communists who have ever walked the planet. The only
thing they lack here is the opportunity to do so.
Allow me to introduce you to the potential next mayor
of New York.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
Oftentimes we've even found as legislators when we go into
these courts. The term violent crime is even used when
people are stealing packages. Violent crime is even used when
people are accused of burglary and there happens to be
a housing unit in that same dwelling. So violence is
an artificial construction, right, We have to be very clear
what's happening here.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Violence is an artificial construction, no different than every other Communists,
no different than Vladimir Lenin and his Bolsheviks opening up
the Soviet prison, turning all the rapists and murderers loose,
and then, after turning all the rapists and murderers loose
in the Soviet Union, they then use the judges in
the police force to protect the murderers and rapists while

(16:11):
they arrested the law abiding citizens. None of this sounds familiar, right,
None of this would happen here in the United States
of America. Right. Always, rich kids with God complexes go
on to murder millions. Always. Let's do some emails. Thanks, Yes,

(16:33):
the Jesse, Kelly Joe on a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Monday.
So happy the work week is just starting. Jewish producer
Chris isn't as happy as I am, but I'm thrilled
about it. Let's do some emails, Hey, Jesse, I've been
listening for a few years. I also listen to others. Now.
I noticed right away how you identified those on the

(16:53):
left as communists, and you were the only one doing so.
But now everyone is calling the left communists. So just wondering,
how does it feel to truly be the oracle? Okay, one,
they are communists. Okay, let's get that out of the
way first. They are communists. They have lied about that forever,

(17:17):
and we have to be willing to penetrate the lies. Remember,
the communist lies at all times about everything he believes.
That is how he must operate. Remember, remember, remember.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Think our reverence for the truth might become might have
become a bit of a distraction.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
That is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important
things done.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
He's trying to get things done. He's trying to fight
a revolution and move it forward. His revolution will kill people,
it will hurt people. He knows this. Therefore, whatever he
is describing, he is lying. That's why abortion becomes women's
reproductive rights. Okay, he's lying at all times. So Democrats
slowly but surely turned into communists over the years. But

(17:58):
they understood that communists and wasn't as you don't want
that label on you, especially in the American public, So
they lied about it. The right, as they often do,
went along with the lie. But they're progressives, They're they're liberal. No, no, no,
they're communists. They are they all want the same thing.
They all have the exact same end goal in mind.

(18:20):
Don't fool yourself.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
There are also other issues that we firmly believe in,
whether it's BDS right or whether it's the end goal
of seasonal means of production.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
They're all communists, that's one. Two. Labels are effective. One
of the things Donald Trump has done very very well.
And sometimes it turns you off and sometimes you like it.
I get that, But he's great at labels. Lie in Hillary, Yeah,
he's good, Little Marco. He's a brander. He's spent his

(18:52):
entire life branding, branding himself, branding others. That stuff can
be stupid and childish, right, ridiculous, but effective. Stupid, childish, ridiculous,
call it whatever you want. Effective, You burn that into people.
So let me tell you this. The left, in certain
segments of our population, they've been unbelievably effective labeling you

(19:19):
as a Nazi, a white supremacist. Did you know that?
You roll your eyes. It's ridiculous, it's not true. You'll
say something that's true but also lame. They're the ones
who started the KKK, they're the ones that own slaves.
But you're totally missing the point, The truth has nothing
to do with it. You've been labeled. Do you know
the portion of the black population in this country that

(19:41):
believes Republicans are racists and hate black people?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Well, that's not true.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
No, no, no, no, no no. You're focusing on the truth
when you should focus on how that mentality got there.
That mentality got there by focused lies, repeated year after year,
media segment, media segment, Nazi white supremacist, Nazi white supremacist,
Nazi white supremacists. While while you're rolling your eyes, that

(20:07):
lie is being cemented into the minds of people. It's effective.
And while they've been labeling you a Nazi white supremacist,
we've been calling them progressives. We still have half the
American right calling these illegal foreign barbarians migrants. The right
calls the migrants going along with their lie, going along

(20:30):
with their label. Why did I call them communists? It's
not just because they're communists, it's because we have to
meet that, we have to match that. If they're calling
us Nazis and we're calling them progressives, we're going to lose.
Their people will be more committed than our people, and
we will lose. That's two, now three. You said, I

(20:50):
deserve the credit for this. That's ridiculous. We all deserve
the credit for this. I have been blessed to get
a very large platform that I don't deserve, and therefore
I understand that my voice may carry it may be
carried to more people than yours. But I am not

(21:12):
the one who has changed this. I've helped. I'm not
going to deny that I'm not being fake humble here.
I have helped. I've moved that ball forward. But so
have you. Remember that talk we had earlier. Culture change
doesn't actually come from Hollywood, doesn't come from this musician.

(21:34):
It doesn't come from legislation or Washington, DC. All those
things can help or hurt. Culture is all of us.
It's that meeting you had at work this morning. It's
that discussion you had with your father, It's you standing
up and speaking up in school. Culture is all of us.
If something has shifted in the culture, and it really

(21:58):
has shifted, hasn't it, I know you notice it shifted
for the better. It's because we all participated in it,
all of us. This is something that communists have gotten
better than we've gotten for an understandable reason. They're collectivists.
They believe they're herd animals. As I've justscribed many times.
They believe in the herd. So they believe if we

(22:19):
all do a little something in the end, it will
have great power the right. And I'm glad we're this way.
I'm glad you're this way. We are more individualistic. If
you will no no, no no, you do it yourself,
pick yourself up, you change it yourself. That mentality can
be wonderful for some things. But if you're trying to
adjust language, if you're trying to adjust culture, if you're

(22:43):
trying to just change the political environment, Gosh, I'm gonna
sound like a fruity hippie. It really does take all
of us, it does. It takes all of us. We
all participated. I also participated. Again, I'm not being fake humble,
but we all participated. Jesse, your show is invading my dreams.

(23:03):
I had a dream about fighting a cheetah. The dream
cheetah had me around the throat, but he had human hands.
I escaped, but only after I wondered how would Jesse
deal with this? Thanks for fighting the good fight. Look,
I will take full credit for this. You now know

(23:27):
how to fight cheetahs because of this show, all the
years of watching these wilderness documentaries which have all been
taken over by the freaks. Now, I won't get into
that in a moment. All that time at zoos also
taken over by the freaks. Did anybody ever sit down
and take the time to teach you how to defeat

(23:47):
a cheetah in single combat in hand to hand combat? No,
but I did. I took time out of my day,
what Chris, time out of my day to teach everybody
something that may keep you alive one day. Oh and
on that note, I know I've gone off on this before,
but I have to say it again because we recently

(24:08):
went to in It wasn't even a zoo, it was
an aquarium. And when we were in New Orleans we
went to an aquarium. I don't know at what point
every zoo and aquarium in the country got taken over
by the fruitcake climate change nutters, but it is so
unbelievably brutal to be just waterboarded by the endless save

(24:33):
the Earth crap every time you're just going to try
and enjoy some wildlife and teach the kids about things
you have to be lectured about. Your suv and recycling
and sustainable coffee beans or whatever new thing these hippie
freaks are on today. It's awful. I grew up watching
Marty Staalfer wildlife shows with my dad. It was one

(24:54):
of the few things my dad would watch on television.
He wanted to Chris, don't ever say who when I
talk about Marty's anyway. I grew up watching He's a
nature guy, Chris, What do you mean? Who is he?
He was a croc hunter, only he didn't feel the
need to have a spitting cobra spit in his face.
He was a nature guy. He was always out there
in nature talking about animals. And look up, Marty Staffer. Chris, gosh,

(25:18):
you're such a child. I pity you, Marty Stalford. He
might be Jewish. Is that a Jewish name, Chris? How
do you not know? Isn't there like a list of people? Anyway?
Either way, Marty Stalfer, I grew up watching nature shows
and it was just you know, lions and tigers and
bears and stuff like that. Now you can watch two

(25:41):
seconds of an animal doing something cool or something wild,
and then you're gonna have some freak. Normally a British
voice I don't know why, but those limeies love doing
this normally a British voice lecturing you about the Polar Bear.
The polar Bears are almost all gone. Oh shut up.
The Polar Bears have been almost all gone for my
entire forty three years, and yet they still continue to

(26:03):
soldier on. Sorry, I didn't mean to get distracted. We
should talk about being proud to be an American. I
think we should first check in on Minneapolis and see
how see how all this mass immigration stuff is going.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on an amazing Monday,

(26:23):
and we'll get to being proud to be an American
and the difference between the two parties, which is pretty stark.
But before we get to the emails, I promised to this.
After all, it is Independence Day coming up this Friday,
is it not. Minneapolis started Independence Day a little bit early.

(26:43):
Let's check in on this.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Somebody somebody, Yeah, yah.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Hmm, that's weird. I didn't hear any Toby Keith. I
didn't uh, didn't hear any Thomas Jefferson quotes. What hold on,
let me check my paper? What Independence Day? Where they still? Oh?
That was some Mollian Independence Day anyway, just a reminder

(27:16):
that mind the imports. You don't have to let everybody
into your country. In fact, if you let people into
your country in mass it's because you don't love it.
Always remember the test, the ultimate test on every issue.
I'm more passionate about many issues, by the way, but

(27:38):
there is no other issue that is the ultimate test
of your patriotism. How many people do you want to
come into your country from foreign lands? If you are well, well,
we should let everybody in. It's because you hate your country.
You can tell how much you love a place based
on how open you up the entry requirements to be.

(28:02):
You are restrictive about who you let in your home,
your children's school, maybe belong to some sort of a
golf club or country club. You want there to be
restrictions on who can or can't come in. Why? Because
you love those places. The reason you're okay with anybody
coming to America after ho we're a melting pot, it's

(28:22):
because you don't actually care about it. That's fact. There
should never be this in an American city. EFO. Why
do we have it? Because Democrats are evil demons who

(28:44):
want to burn down the country and because Republicans want
the cheap labor and very nice. It would be very
very I want to be seen as nice. After all.
My youth pastor, when he was doing a little dance
on Sunday, told me the Bible said we should let
all the immigrants in, which, by the way, is nothing
close to what the Bible says. But that's what he

(29:05):
told me in the middle of the rock concert. It's
what Jesus would want. Good grief, Dear menu whisper. My
girlfriend and I often argue over the merits of food
delivery services. She loves to use these, despite their exorbitant costs.
I hate them. I've never had a good meal from one.
It requires too many links in the chain of custody.

(29:27):
The order is either always messed up, cold or spilled
all over the place. Please weigh in, all right, I'm
not going to be a hypocrite. I have told you
before that I buy lunch for me and the fellas
every single day, and we don't have the manpower here
to have someone go get it, so someone has to

(29:49):
deliver it. We have a food delivery almost every single day, really,
every single day, Monday through Friday here at the studio,
so I can hardly get on here and tell you
that it's bad. But I will tell you this. I
have learned some valuable lessons that may or may not

(30:10):
help you. The first one is cheeseburgers. You cannot get
a cheeseburger delivered unless you have one of these two things.
A it is wrapped properly. Cheeseburgers do not travel well

(30:31):
for very long. If you get one of these restaurants
that knows what they're doing and they wrap it in
kind of that foil stuff, now that will work. You
can get that. There is this incredible cheeseburger place here
in our area that I will not name because I
don't want to. I'm about to bad mouth them, and
I love them. But when you sit down, they're famous
for their burgers, famous for them. People come from all
around to eat their burgers. They finally showed up on

(30:54):
the delivery service. We got excited. We ordered it one day.
Chris knows exactly what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, that's right, Chris.
We were so excited, but they were a little far.
They got to us garbage. They didn't wrap the burger.
They threw it in a styrofoam container. Send it to us. Garbage.

(31:14):
You have to be careful with cheeseburgers, so either A
they have to be rapped properly, or b the location
of the restaurant is important. If they're not rapped properly,
they better be someplace really, really really close. This was
a long way of saying I like food delivery services

(31:35):
not because they make it convenient, because those are generally
great people who are busting their butts who deliver it,
and so treat them well. Tip them. Well, that's a
little tidbit tip them well. But actually that's another point
I'm about to make to you about food delivery services
on the app. Now you can pre tip people more.

(31:55):
Don't do that. I have told you I've tried to
pick my tipping. I'm generally a good tipper anyway, but
I've tried to pick it up in recent years. I
know people are struggling. I have noticed this very disappointing fact.
But in fact, nonetheless, if I pre tip too much,
then the drivers will compete and they'll try to select

(32:18):
my order first because they see a pre tip, and
then I mean, there'll be ten minutes away from the restaurant,
my food will get cold. They'll just select it because
they want the tip, and I'll get garbage food tip
well after if they are polite, they get it to You.
Tip those people as well as you can, I know
people have different financial means, as well as you possibly can.

(32:40):
And finally I mentioned the burgers. You have to pick
food that travels pasta travels well. Seafood eh, not so much. Okay,
so travels well. Actually, really most Mexican food, I would
