Why did a Green Beret kill a Chechnyan who was in his backyard? There’s a fed baiting you to do something illegal in your group. They spent decades taking over the institutions. We will not take it back overnight. Brandon Weichert author of The Shadow War. Is this an escalation by Russia? Is it Putin sending a message to the Biden admin? MoH Troy McGill.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday. Don't forget. You can email us Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. All right, we're about to do
Medal of Honor Monday. You know that's coming this hour.
About a half hour from now. We have Brandon Wikert on.
(00:36):
You may or may not know who Brandon is, but
what you should know is that apparently some Russian chechen operative,
hit man, assassin spy was trying to hunt down a
Green Beret here in America. And there's a lot more
to this story than you have heard in eye popping stuff.
(00:58):
So that's about a half hour from now. So we
have all that, but I'll try to get to as
much of the Fauci stuff as I possibly can. I
know you're waiting on his testimony and stuff like that
from today. But it is Monday, after all. That is Monday,
and you know what time it is. It's time for
Medal of Honor Monday. Every single Monday, we do the
exact same thing. We take a Medal of Honor citation
(01:21):
and we read it. These men deserve to be remembered.
Their deeds deserve to be remembered. And if we don't
talk about them, if we don't read them, then they're forgotten.
It's like that, It's like they never happen historically, they
just disappear. And these are good things to discuss with
your kids, with your class, the team you coach. These
(01:45):
are good things. You can do this at work. You
a manager, a boss, you can do this in the
break room. We've got guys who have done that. I
this is not me. I haven't done anything. I didn't
earn any of these. Anyone can do this. All these
citations are free online. Before I get to the Medal
of Honor citation, though, I want to do it a
little different today because we got an email today that
was frigging powerful and really really cool and I thought
(02:08):
it would be worth reading. I'll read this, then I'll
get to the middle of honor citation. This guy says,
Dear Jesse, my father was a Wake Island survivor. Wake
Island was World War II in the Pacific. By the way,
this is a little long, but I'm going to read it.
He went to Wake Island as a construction worker, but
as soon as the Japanese launched their attack on Pearl Harbor.
(02:28):
That same afternoon, they launched their attack on Wake Island.
He and around two hundred other civilians gathered and volunteered
to take the oath by the commander of the island
to become marines and fight alongside them. The records were lost,
he was credited for volunteering until many years later. He
and eight others manned a machine gun nest, which by
(02:50):
the end of the fighting sixteen days later, there was
just him and one other one alive. He'd been wounded
three different times by grenade, shrapnel, and a bullet to
the leg during the fighting. After the island was surrendered,
the four year long nightmare began. He was the last
wounded man off the island to board the Japanese transport ship.
(03:11):
As he watched in fear, he became aware that anyone
who could not board by their own was bayoneted and
thrown into the ocean. He went in as a healthy
young man foot six foot two, two hundred and twenty
pounds of farm boy muscle, and he returned home five eleven,
one hundred and twenty seven pounds. For two years, no
(03:34):
one knew what had happened to the men on the island.
Most thought they were all dead. It wasn't until almost
two years later that the Japanese decided to do a
little pr They put out a propaganda radio message. The
first voice that was heard was my dad's the shock.
It was a shock to my grandparents, so on and
so forth. During captivity, he had Barry Barry that's this terrible,
(03:55):
terrible tropical disease. Your legs swell up. A bunch of
guys died from it. Anyway, he had Barry berry heart malnutrition.
He had Bary Barry heart maulnutrition, been beaten many times,
which almost killed him. The Japanese love to beat guys
to death. He spent the last year in captivity in
Japan working in a steel mill, where he watched many
of his friends die from the guards, disease, starvation, and accidents.
(04:19):
But somehow he managed to survive not only the sadistic
and brutality of his captures, but also the constant bombing
of the Allies in the later days of the war.
He never talked about the hell he went through during
those years until my younger brother was killed many years later.
Then the stories began to flow out of him. It
was only then that through testimony in some records to
(04:41):
the Marine Corps finally recognized him gave him two purple hearts.
I have a little diary he kept during the last
days in the prison camp. To this day, it's still
very hard to read, as the emotions and hardships are
hard to imagine. God blessed them all who sacrificed so much.
Thank you so much for the honor you just bestow
on the greatness of those who served and sacrificed. Sincerely,
(05:05):
it's Steve. Pretty awesome, right, pretty awesome. Now let's do
a Medal of Honor citation, shall we? Powerful stuff?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call
of duty and action against the enemy. At Los Negros
Island Admiralty Group on the fourth of March nineteen forty four.
By the way, I didn't say his name. His name
is Troy McGill. Troy McGill. In the early morning hours,
Sergeant McGill, with a squad of eight men, occupied a
(05:48):
revetment which bore the brunt of a furious attack by
approximately two hundred drink crazed enemy troops. Although covered by
crossfire from machine guns on the right and left flank,
he could receive no support for them from the remainder
of the troops stationed at his rear. All the members
of the squad were killed or wounded, except Sergeant McGill
(06:10):
and another man, whom he ordered to return to the
next revetment. Courageously resolved to hold his position at all costs,
he fired his weapon until it ceased to function. Then,
with the enemy only five yards away, he charged from
his foxhole in the face of certain death and clubbed
(06:31):
the enemy with his rifle and hand to hand combat
until he was killed at dawn. One hundred and five
enemy dead were found around his position. Sergeant McGill's intrepid
stand was an inspiration to his comrades and a decisive
factor in the defeat of a fanatical enemy. And I'd
(06:53):
say the man has earned taps. You should know, before
(07:50):
we get back to all the politics of all this
politics of the day and whatnot, that they had taken
the airfield at Los Negros Island and the Japanese wanted
it back because remember the airfields were everything, and so,
as they alluded to it in the citation, it was
just eight dudes. They were shortmanned. It was just eight dudes.
(08:14):
And the Japanese what they did, this was fairly routine.
People don't understand a lot of people don't understand how
much alcohol has played a role in combat throughout history.
It's pick your society. The Vikings were famous for it,
the pick your society. Men drink after combat, before combat,
(08:34):
during combat. The Japanese were famous for this. They just
get blasted when they were getting ready to go do
suicidal things like a Bondz eye charge or whatnot. And
they learned enough English so they could insult the American troops.
And so this guy, this happened many times in the Pacific.
This wasn't this wasn't any anything out of the ordinary.
(08:56):
But the two hundred troops that are massed in front
of McGill's fox holes almost called him fighting holes. But
he was in the Army fox holes. They were blitzed
out of their minds and they were yelling things like
beep Roosevelt and things that they loved to insult Roosevelt.
They love to insult Fdr. Beep you marine, they learned
(09:17):
cuss words, they learned these things. They just get hammered
and tell them We're coming to kill you all and
stuff like that. But either way, man gave his life
on a god forsaken spit of island over in the Pacific.
Let's move on. Let's go back and talk about a
couple things, because Fauci testified today. But before we get
to the Fauci thing, I just want to address this
(09:37):
as one final point on the Trump thing. There's something
for ABC News out today that shows over half of
Americans think the Trump trial was political, and yet half
of Americans believe that it was justified. So wrap your
mind around that. We have entered a different era in
(10:03):
this country, a completely different era. The average Democrat, the
liberal and Peggy in your life, they believe Donald Trump
should be locked up just for being Donald Trump. Now
I get this question a lot. How do we come
back from this? Let's talk about that, and let's talk
(10:23):
about Fauci. Before we talk about that, let's talk about
twenty five bucks. I want you, I want you to
do something. I want you to pick the local pizza
joint or national pizza chain in your area and go
on their website right now, and look at the specials
they have. Looking at the amount of food you have,
(10:44):
you can get for twenty five bucks. Now, it's not
very much. The couple largest twenty five bucks that's our
Monday deal. You know, you could spend that on a
couple pizzas where you could spend it on the premium
My pillow, the Ultimate My pillow, the one with the
new Geeza fabric, any size, any loft level. It's twenty
(11:05):
five dollars right now. They're My pillow sandals are twenty

click on the radio listeners special square and use the
(11:27):

eight hundred eight four five zero five four four.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You're listening to the ourcle You love this one. It's
a scream baby, the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, reminding
you if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. I
am gonna rant on airports. I have an airport conversation
that we have to have, but I'm gonna get to
some fauci stuff before i get it. In case you're
watching on the simulcast, you know you can watch me
do the show if you go to the first TV
(12:08):
you can watch me do it. And you're noticing we
have this flag, this US air Force flag here, and
you're saying to yourself, well, Jesse's always given the air
Force crap, why would you fly their flag? That's actually
completely not true. I believe in flying the air Force
flag whenever it's appropriate, and it's pride month. Of course
we're gonna I mean, we have to what Chris, We're
(12:30):
showing solidarity, all right. So anyway, that's that's why that
flag thing gets going. All right, So back to the
to the Trump verdict thing. Then we'll move on to
the fauci stuff. How do we come back from this, Jesse?
How do we come back from this? Well, on a
more somber note, we're not going to come back. There
will be no going back. Once you get to the
(12:52):
point as a country where they're arresting each other, there's
no returning to where you were. That doesn't mean always lost.
All it means is what we're going to be. I
don't know, but it won't be what we were where
we are now. There's no return from it. There just
(13:15):
simply isn't. That is what it is. And I got
this email, Dear Oracle, stop asking us to be legal.
We are done. Did the colonial army ask permission? And
this guy's saying that because in the wake of the verdict,
I have once again reminded you that the Federal Bureau
of Investigations CIA NSA, basically the entire federal government atf
(13:41):
they have all been weaponized against you. This has been
going on for a long time. I realize everyone's just
now finding out about it now, but trust me, the
January sixth people have known about it for quite some time.
The federal government wants to arrest you. That little group message,
the little group text group you're in. There's a FED
(14:02):
in there, a federal informant. No, not my group there, patriots, Nope,
there's a federal informant in there. He's probably the one
trying to encourage you all to do something illegal right
now or violent. He's the one out there saying, no,
we gotta go kill them all. No, that's a fed.
They're going to read those text messages allowed in front
of your wife in court before they send you to
(14:23):
prison for the next thirty years. You stay legal, I'll
let you know when it's time for revolution. It ain't
time for that. And if you decide you're just going
to sally forth and it's time to fight back, you
will be fighting alone. How do I know that? I
know that because twenty five percent of Republicans even bother
to show up to vote in primary elections, which are
(14:46):
the most important elections in the country. Seventy five percent
of the people who are quote on your side can't
get out of bed on a Tuesday to go vote
in a primary election. So if you think it's time
to go to wal you will be fighting alone. We
haven't even begun to try to fight this at the
ballot box. Yet. We don't even try. We sit home
(15:09):
for every election, school board, primary, no matter what's going on.
We show up once every four years to vote for president.
And then we look around and what happened. We're all
is lost. You want to take on Alan Bragg? You
want to take on the Communists? Do you want? Is
that what you want? Okay? I agree with you. That's
what I want too. We have to train Alvin Bragg in.
(15:31):
The Communists have spent decades working their way through our
education system, our entertainment system, our corporate system. They've spent
decades in filtrating every part of the government by doing
what credit to them. Remember, make sure you give your
enemy credit where he deserves it. They've been putting in
(15:51):
the work while we were sitting at home catching the game.
I don't feel like it. This Saturday. They were out
there seizing power, attacking at all times. They're now in
a position where they can arrest, convict, and possibly imprison
the future president of the United States of America. But
they didn't get that strong yesterday. They got that strong
(16:13):
from years in years in years of training, putting in
the work elections, knocking on doors, starting organizations, sending out
dragging friends to the polls, sending out group text messages.
I have this cause, that cause, that cause. The Communist
is moving, attacking, destroying at all times. We wake up
(16:34):
one day and see Trump's going to prison, and we
say it's time for war. No, it's time for you
to shut up and run for school board. Enough of
the civil war talk, enough of the revolution talk, enough
of the take up arms talk. This country's so freaking
lazy and apathetic that we can't even go to the
polls to vote. So trust me, they're not going to
be fighting any kind of a civil war. And stop,
(16:56):
don't you dare email me, but every election stolen of Okay,
I'll tell you what before you send me that email.
Here's what I want you to do. You can send
me that email. You can tell me all elections are
stolen if in that email you detail your political involvement
before the twenty twenty election. Because if you're telling me
(17:18):
that now it's time to take up arms because they
stole it in twenty twenty and now it's all stolen,
then that tells me that you were majorly involved before
twenty twenty, and now you're sitting it out. You were
majorly involved, right, you're not. You're not just saying that
because you're mad. And this is I believe they cheated
in twenty twenty I'm acknowledging that, but that's become the
(17:42):
ultimate cop out lie for the lazy. I never get
off my butt and never vote in the primary. I
don't even know who's on my school board. I can't
name my state senator, but I got a Maga hat
and I ain't voting. It's revolution pad because every election's stolen. No,
you're just lazy. Get off your butt, go get involved
in elections. And wearing a Maga hat does not count. No,
(18:04):
wear your Maga hat, but that's not getting involved in elections.
That's not putting into work. Mike Tyson just knocked you out.
You don't get up and try to fight him again.
You go back and train. It's time for us to train,
all right, all right, let's find out why the Russians
are trying to kill a Green Beret in America, and
then let's talk about doctor Fauci. What should we do
to him? Also, we just had Medal of Honor Monday,
(18:30):
and we get emails all the time in of Jesse.
What do we do? How do we help these guys Jesse?
What do we do? Listen, the truth is that veterans
need more than a thank you, But they shouldn't. They
shouldn't require a handout, and they don't. Sometimes it's just
a matter of getting your VA benefits. Sometimes it's just
(18:54):
a matter of finding a new place. Do you know
when you switch to Pure Talk, When you switch your
cell phones service to Puretalk, just by switching, you are
supporting America's Warrior Partnership. They've partnered with Puretalk to help
veterans come home, stay home, stay employed, get their medical
(19:14):
issues taken care of. These are the things pure Talk tackles.
It's Pride Month. If you don't have Pure Talk, go
look up your cell phone company and Pride Month and
tell me what you find. Which would you rather fund
America's Warrior Partnership or Pride Month? Pick up your phone.
It's time to switch. Dial pound two five zero and
(19:36):
say Jesse Kelly Pound two five zero, say Jesse Kelly.
We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, and
we are going to switch gears a little bit here
enough for fauci Sta talk and lat and communism and
history and all the other stuff. Because there's a story
floating out there that has not gotten a ton of coverage,
and I find it endlessly fascinating. And my friend Brandon Wikert,
(20:13):
he's an author. He wrote the book The Shadow War,
which you should pick up. It's sick. It's as cool
as it sounds. Anyway, he wrote that book and he's
been talking about this story. So instead of me fumbling
through it, I'm going to hand it off to him. Brandon,
who exactly got shot? Was this guy a Russian who
did the shooting? What happened with this case?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, thanks for having me. It's it's been a far
too long. And yes, it was like an episode of
that old series The Americans. There was a lieutenant colonel
in the US Special Forces coming home. This was back
in May third came home from Fort Liberty, which you
and I know is Fort Bragg and he found a
(21:01):
swarthy Chechen in his backyard at eight o'clock at night
with a high powered camera taking pictures of his family
as they were going about their nighttime routine. The colonel
confronted this guy. The colonel was armed, and the Chechen
decided to get physical. The Special Forces colonel put the
(21:24):
chechen down. There was another Chechen in a car waiting nearby.
The sheriffs showed up and question of the secondary chechen
let him go because they claimed he was lack of evidence,
and the media where it has been reported in the
left wing media, they're trying to pin it on the Kernel.
But as it turns out, and I've done the investigation,
(21:46):
as you know as well, as it turns out this
chechen was officially a subcontractor for a firm called Utilities One,
which is a utilities company based out of New Jersey,
but it's it doesn't seem to be a real company.
They have contracts everywhere with our infrastructure, and yet the
owners are Russian and Moldovan. They're all from sort of
(22:09):
that part of the world. It was started in twenty sixteen,
and then in further investigation discovered that the Chechen in
question was actually here illegally. And this has prompted many
people behind the scenes who I'm communicating with to basically
say they think there are chech and hit squads infiltrating
the country through our broken border and targeting US Special
(22:32):
Forces members. In particular, this Kernel had just gotten back
from a covert deployment in Ukraine. So the storyline's just
you're merging. You've got Biden's broken border and Biden's failed
war in Ukraine all merging together in this really interesting story.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It is beyond interesting the number of questions I have
for you, Brandon. That it's a long list. So you're
just going to have to be patient with me, as
you always are. After all, I'm in idiot, So I
want to actually begin. Let's start overseas. Let's go through
the timeline that way. I think that will help me
and the audience understand this better. Okay, So we have
(23:10):
some Green Beret or Delta, I don't know what he was,
but we have this super stud in the army. He's
over there in Ukraine airfingers quiote, advising the Ukrainians. We
all know how all that goes. Now, I was never
in the Green Berets, and I most definitely was never
in Delta, but I do know that you don't hand
your id over to the other side to let them
(23:32):
know who you are and your home address. Could you
possibly walk me through how this guy's address would ever
land in the hands of some Russian operative hit man.
How could something like that even happen? Brandon?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, so this is why people people think that it
is probably Russian intelligence operations because basically, you know the
Russians are They're not dumb, and they are extremely wily.
They're very good at intelligence and counter intelligence, and so
what probably happened was throughout the course of the conflict
in Ukraine. I have been saying for a while now
(24:12):
that we have guys on the ground covertly. I get
yelled at by my friends at the Pentagon don't say
that publicly, but I think that's what's going on. Obviously,
this story kind of proves that. I'm sure the Russian
intelligence services have already figured out which units are being
deployed into NATO and then from NATO to the Ukrainian battlefield,
and they're sort of just reverse engineering the intelligence to
(24:34):
figure out where you know, these people are, probably can
locate them through social media a lot of if not directly,
this this member of Special Forces, it's probable his family members,
his children, or his wife are involved with you know,
social media. So it's not impossible for these very good,
(24:55):
competent intelligence services to basically figure out stuff like this,
even though it is Special Forces and we really try
to keep them covert. So I suspect That's probably what
was at play here, was they were identifying possible targets
to seek reprisals against. Because obviously this guy was not
just engaged in what were they saying it was propaganda
(25:19):
or information warfare operations. He was obviously doing something far
more direct than kinetic against probably Chechen units. I mean,
the Chechens are crazy, and so this might have been,
you know, honor thy father type of situation. Run amok.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, let's first of all, I think you're being a
little paranoid when you say these guys are doing more
than advising. Next you're going to tell me they were
doing that in Vietnam in nineteen sixty. Don't be so ridiculous, Brandon. Okay,
obviously that was firmly tongue in cheek for everyone listening.
They were doing something in Ukraine. Now, explain the Chechen thing,
(25:55):
because a lot of people don't understand how nutball these
guys are. Who these guys are, Who are the Chechens?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I thought we were at war with Russia?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
What?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Right? Well, Chechnya is sort of like, you know, the
Alabama of Russia. I guess you know, they're sort of
they're wild and crazy and you know, they're not Christian,
they are Muslim. And for throughout the nineties and early
two thousands, there was a series of really brutal wars
(26:26):
fought between the Russian government and Islamist insurgents in Chechnya.
Putin was able to defeat them, and then suddenly, you know,
Chechnya got a government to you know, a regional government
that was very pro Putin. There's a guy named Ramzan
Katarov who is basically a Jihati who loves Putin. So
he's kind of the Jihatis for Putin Brigade, and his
(26:49):
units have been deployed from Chechnya to the front lines
of Ukraine, especially as the Wagner group was pulled back.
The Chechnians are considered to be elite kind of warriors,
and they're very brutal and so and they have this
sort of almost kind of like I guess the Klingons
(27:09):
from Star Trek. You know, it's like a blood feud,
like if you long them, they will hunt you down.
It's sort of a religious and clan society. So it's
possible that this special forces unit of ours did something
in the conduct of the Covit War in Ukraine. And
poed the Chechens to the point that they're sending their
(27:30):
hit squads through our broken border. Thank you Biden for
leaving that door open. Uh. And they're you know, disseminating
throughout the country, hunting down, you know, targets of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Speaking with Brandon Wikert, author of the book The Shadow War,
going over this story with a Green Beret kills some
Chechen and film trader out behind his house. Brandon, I
should have asked you this beforehand. Is there any way
you can stay on? Who's got to take it? Quick break?
I just have a couple more questions about this. Okay, perfect,
(28:03):
We have Brandon Wikert, he is going to be here.
I have a couple more questions. I want to ask
him about what happened, what he thinks is happening on
a macro level, Why would Russia take such a step. Anyway,
we will be right back with a little bit more.
Brandon Wiker updating us on this story.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Hang on, get the Cure for Rhinos. He days with
the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember
if you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart Spotify iTunes wherever you
happen to get it in case you're just joining us.
This is part two of our little Q and A
with Brandon Wickert, author, one of these guys who knows
everything about everything foreign policy wise. He's been tracking this story,
(28:47):
the green beret who killed some Chechen in his backyard
who was photographing his family. Okay, so the green Beret
comes home from his deployment. Brandon, the Chechen we believe,
you believe probably correctly came across us, our leaky border.
If we're gonna be really really kind about that. My
question on the macro level is this, Brandon, America is hesitant.
(29:10):
In fact, we've not allowed our weapons to be used
in Russia against Russians. Why it's not because we like Russia?
Because that is an escalation that will prompt a response.
Why would the Russians take such a step. What if
this schen pulled it off and shot this Green Beret
(29:31):
and we woke up one day and found out the
Russians had sent in a hit man to kill a
Green green Beret. Wouldn't that be an escalation Russia would
want to not have?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, the you know, and in far be it for
me to defend the Russians, because I am by no
means a fan of Russia. But pretty much from the
American side of this war, we've kind of been poking
the bear the whole time. The very fact that there
are US special forces operated, you know, in Ukraine quote
unquote advising the Ukrainians is a problem in and of itself.
(30:07):
This war's been dragged out long enough, I think from
the Russian perspective, and they are basically looking for a
little bit of payback because the war probably would have
been over a year and a half ago had US
weapons and personnel not been used to kind of backstop
the Ukrainian military. And so while I do think you're
(30:29):
right the Russians don't want to see escalation, at the
same time, you know, the Russians, they're probably they don't
like to take things lying down, and so this is
kind of a great way for them to kind of
get the elites in Washington back for supporting their enemies
without possibly seeing an escalation, because I don't think had
this Green Beret and his family been murdered or kidnapped,
(30:51):
I don't think the administration would have let that news
get out. I think they would have tried to cover
it up because it would have indicated not only a
failure of their border policy, but have indicated a film
their Ukraine policy. In an election year. They can't have that.
So I think this was a message aimed from Putin
at the Biden administration. We know you're here, we know
what you're doing, and because of this, we're going to
(31:13):
start really messing around with you in your own country.
And I think that what you can expect to see
many more examples of this. And by the way, it's
not just the Russians. In fact, in my opinion, the
Russians of the least of our concerns. I talked to
a retired senior Customs and Border Patrol official about six
months ago who told me, Brandon, we've got fifty five
hundred Iranians running around the place you broke in through
(31:34):
the border. And then he also said, and I know
that you've reported on this before, there are ten thousand
military age Chinese males in the United States that broke
in here illegally. We don't know where they are, and
you can imagine what they're getting up.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
To, Brandon. If Russia and their guys they sent in. Obviously,
look you catch one, that means there are several times
that amount. Here, we happen to have a Green Beret
who was aware enough to catch the long telescopic lens.
Without that, we don't even know this is happening. So
these guys are here, they're here, they're operating. What do
(32:08):
we believe they're capable of doing? And I'm not in
any way obviously dismissive if they take out some Green Beret,
that's not good. Not okay, it's awful, it's awful, it's tragic,
But that's not poisoning a water plant, right, what do
they What do we believe these people can do if
they're motivated to do so?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
And this is your right over target. So my next
my next report that I'm doing is actually delving into
Utilities One, which is the company that the chechen in
question was supposedly a subcontractor for. There are many people
in the Intel community that I've spoken to who really
want a harder look at Utilities One because they think
(32:48):
it might be basically a front company. And if you
go on their website you can see a map of
all of the projects they're working on. In fact, there's one.
I live in southwest Florida. There's one right down the
road from me. Basically, they have their hands in critical
communicate telecommunications infrastructure project, water management project, water management projects
(33:13):
as well as electrical grid projects throughout all fifty states.
And that as possible that this is a Russian intelligence
operation masquerading as a company. And so that means that
there is a Russian possible front company with its hands
and every major facet of our infrastructure, which is obviously
not good for us, because if the Russians decide to
(33:34):
really go full board against us, they could be attacking
us at our own home front.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Okay, well that's great news. A Russian front company is
involved in all fifty states and little things like telecommunication,
the electrical grid, and our water supply. So anyway, with that, Brandon,
where can people pick up The Shadow War?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Well, you can pick up all my books anywhere they're
sold online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or in your bookstore,
and be sure to follow act We the Brandon on Twitter,
Getter and truth Social same handle.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Brandon. I appreciate you, my brother, come back soon. Look,
I'm going to move off this subject just because we
are so overwhelmed and being gone for a week. When
I say overwhelmed, I mean overwhelmed in a in a
good way with stories and emails and things we want
to get caught up on. But this is something like
it's not something for you to do, and it's not
(34:27):
something for you to not do, meaning don't adjust anything
in your life because of what you just heard there.
I know that was scary. It was. Look, I'm sitting
here and I'm thinking, oh gosh, that's scary. But there's
nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do.
Make some basic preparations and then live your life. However,
(34:52):
how long have we been talking about this, you and me?
How many times have you heard me behind this microphone say,
there's a reason proxy wars are normally fought like proxy wars,
they're fought in secret because you don't want to escalate
things where it becomes large nation state against large nation state.
(35:18):
So if you're the Soviets and you want to hurt
Americans in Vietnam, you quietly ship some AK forty seven's
down there. If you're Americans and you want to hurt
the Soviets in Afghanistan, you quietly ship some stinger missiles
into Afghanistan. But today, because we are led by utter morons,
(35:39):
they'll send missiles to Ukraine that are going to kill
Russians and then they'll give a press conference bragging about it.
And how long have I told you? This is going
to prompt the response, and Russia has the ability to respond. Anyway,
We're moving off this. We have way too much to
get to. We still have an hour left. Buffalo up.
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday. Don't forget. You can email us Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. All right, we're about to do
Medal of Honor Monday. You know that's coming this hour.
About a half hour from now. We have Brandon Wikert on.
(00:36):
You may or may not know who Brandon is, but
what you should know is that apparently some Russian chechen operative,
hit man, assassin spy was trying to hunt down a
Green Beret here in America. And there's a lot more
to this story than you have heard in eye popping stuff.
(00:58):
So that's about a half hour from now. So we
have all that, but I'll try to get to as
much of the Fauci stuff as I possibly can. I
know you're waiting on his testimony and stuff like that
from today. But it is Monday, after all. That is Monday,
and you know what time it is. It's time for
Medal of Honor Monday. Every single Monday, we do the
exact same thing. We take a Medal of Honor citation
(01:21):
and we read it. These men deserve to be remembered.
Their deeds deserve to be remembered. And if we don't
talk about them, if we don't read them, then they're forgotten.
It's like that, It's like they never happen historically, they
just disappear. And these are good things to discuss with
your kids, with your class, the team you coach. These
(01:45):
are good things. You can do this at work. You
a manager, a boss, you can do this in the
break room. We've got guys who have done that. I
this is not me. I haven't done anything. I didn't
earn any of these. Anyone can do this. All these
citations are free online. Before I get to the Medal
of Honor citation, though, I want to do it a
little different today because we got an email today that
was frigging powerful and really really cool and I thought
(02:08):
it would be worth reading. I'll read this, then I'll
get to the middle of honor citation. This guy says,
Dear Jesse, my father was a Wake Island survivor. Wake
Island was World War II in the Pacific. By the way,
this is a little long, but I'm going to read it.
He went to Wake Island as a construction worker, but
as soon as the Japanese launched their attack on Pearl Harbor.
(02:28):
That same afternoon, they launched their attack on Wake Island.
He and around two hundred other civilians gathered and volunteered
to take the oath by the commander of the island
to become marines and fight alongside them. The records were lost,
he was credited for volunteering until many years later. He
and eight others manned a machine gun nest, which by
(02:50):
the end of the fighting sixteen days later, there was
just him and one other one alive. He'd been wounded
three different times by grenade, shrapnel, and a bullet to
the leg during the fighting. After the island was surrendered,
the four year long nightmare began. He was the last
wounded man off the island to board the Japanese transport ship.
(03:11):
As he watched in fear, he became aware that anyone
who could not board by their own was bayoneted and
thrown into the ocean. He went in as a healthy
young man foot six foot two, two hundred and twenty
pounds of farm boy muscle, and he returned home five eleven,
one hundred and twenty seven pounds. For two years, no
(03:34):
one knew what had happened to the men on the island.
Most thought they were all dead. It wasn't until almost
two years later that the Japanese decided to do a
little pr They put out a propaganda radio message. The
first voice that was heard was my dad's the shock.
It was a shock to my grandparents, so on and
so forth. During captivity, he had Barry Barry that's this terrible,
(03:55):
terrible tropical disease. Your legs swell up. A bunch of
guys died from it. Anyway, he had Barry berry heart malnutrition.
He had Bary Barry heart maulnutrition, been beaten many times,
which almost killed him. The Japanese love to beat guys
to death. He spent the last year in captivity in
Japan working in a steel mill, where he watched many
of his friends die from the guards, disease, starvation, and accidents.
(04:19):
But somehow he managed to survive not only the sadistic
and brutality of his captures, but also the constant bombing
of the Allies in the later days of the war.
He never talked about the hell he went through during
those years until my younger brother was killed many years later.
Then the stories began to flow out of him. It
was only then that through testimony in some records to
(04:41):
the Marine Corps finally recognized him gave him two purple hearts.
I have a little diary he kept during the last
days in the prison camp. To this day, it's still
very hard to read, as the emotions and hardships are
hard to imagine. God blessed them all who sacrificed so much.
Thank you so much for the honor you just bestow
on the greatness of those who served and sacrificed. Sincerely,
(05:05):
it's Steve. Pretty awesome, right, pretty awesome. Now let's do
a Medal of Honor citation, shall we? Powerful stuff?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call
of duty and action against the enemy. At Los Negros
Island Admiralty Group on the fourth of March nineteen forty four.
By the way, I didn't say his name. His name
is Troy McGill. Troy McGill. In the early morning hours,
Sergeant McGill, with a squad of eight men, occupied a
(05:48):
revetment which bore the brunt of a furious attack by
approximately two hundred drink crazed enemy troops. Although covered by
crossfire from machine guns on the right and left flank,
he could receive no support for them from the remainder
of the troops stationed at his rear. All the members
of the squad were killed or wounded, except Sergeant McGill
(06:10):
and another man, whom he ordered to return to the
next revetment. Courageously resolved to hold his position at all costs,
he fired his weapon until it ceased to function. Then,
with the enemy only five yards away, he charged from
his foxhole in the face of certain death and clubbed
(06:31):
the enemy with his rifle and hand to hand combat
until he was killed at dawn. One hundred and five
enemy dead were found around his position. Sergeant McGill's intrepid
stand was an inspiration to his comrades and a decisive
factor in the defeat of a fanatical enemy. And I'd
(06:53):
say the man has earned taps. You should know, before
(07:50):
we get back to all the politics of all this
politics of the day and whatnot, that they had taken
the airfield at Los Negros Island and the Japanese wanted
it back because remember the airfields were everything, and so,
as they alluded to it in the citation, it was
just eight dudes. They were shortmanned. It was just eight dudes.
(08:14):
And the Japanese what they did, this was fairly routine.
People don't understand a lot of people don't understand how
much alcohol has played a role in combat throughout history.
It's pick your society. The Vikings were famous for it,
the pick your society. Men drink after combat, before combat,
(08:34):
during combat. The Japanese were famous for this. They just
get blasted when they were getting ready to go do
suicidal things like a Bondz eye charge or whatnot. And
they learned enough English so they could insult the American troops.
And so this guy, this happened many times in the Pacific.
This wasn't this wasn't any anything out of the ordinary.
(08:56):
But the two hundred troops that are massed in front
of McGill's fox holes almost called him fighting holes. But
he was in the Army fox holes. They were blitzed
out of their minds and they were yelling things like
beep Roosevelt and things that they loved to insult Roosevelt.
They love to insult Fdr. Beep you marine, they learned
(09:17):
cuss words, they learned these things. They just get hammered
and tell them We're coming to kill you all and
stuff like that. But either way, man gave his life
on a god forsaken spit of island over in the Pacific.
Let's move on. Let's go back and talk about a
couple things, because Fauci testified today. But before we get
to the Fauci thing, I just want to address this
(09:37):
as one final point on the Trump thing. There's something
for ABC News out today that shows over half of
Americans think the Trump trial was political, and yet half
of Americans believe that it was justified. So wrap your
mind around that. We have entered a different era in
(10:03):
this country, a completely different era. The average Democrat, the
liberal and Peggy in your life, they believe Donald Trump
should be locked up just for being Donald Trump. Now
I get this question a lot. How do we come
back from this? Let's talk about that, and let's talk
(10:23):
about Fauci. Before we talk about that, let's talk about
twenty five bucks. I want you, I want you to
do something. I want you to pick the local pizza
joint or national pizza chain in your area and go
on their website right now, and look at the specials
they have. Looking at the amount of food you have,
(10:44):
you can get for twenty five bucks. Now, it's not
very much. The couple largest twenty five bucks that's our
Monday deal. You know, you could spend that on a
couple pizzas where you could spend it on the premium
My pillow, the Ultimate My pillow, the one with the
new Geeza fabric, any size, any loft level. It's twenty
(11:05):
five dollars right now. They're My pillow sandals are twenty
five dollars right now. Have you ever worn my pillow sandals?
You'll never own another pair of sandals. They're inside outside,
They're so unbelievably comfortable. Twenty five dollars. Extravaganza sale is
something to take advantage of. Go to my pillow dot com,
click on the radio listeners special square and use the
(11:27):
promo code Jesse go get you some my pillow stuff,
all right, MyPillow dot com promo code Jesse or call
eight hundred eight four five zero five four four.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You're listening to the ourcle You love this one. It's
a scream baby, the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, reminding
you if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. I
am gonna rant on airports. I have an airport conversation
that we have to have, but I'm gonna get to
some fauci stuff before i get it. In case you're
watching on the simulcast, you know you can watch me
do the show if you go to the first TV
(12:08):
you can watch me do it. And you're noticing we
have this flag, this US air Force flag here, and
you're saying to yourself, well, Jesse's always given the air
Force crap, why would you fly their flag? That's actually
completely not true. I believe in flying the air Force
flag whenever it's appropriate, and it's pride month. Of course
we're gonna I mean, we have to what Chris, We're
(12:30):
showing solidarity, all right. So anyway, that's that's why that
flag thing gets going. All right, So back to the
to the Trump verdict thing. Then we'll move on to
the fauci stuff. How do we come back from this, Jesse?
How do we come back from this? Well, on a
more somber note, we're not going to come back. There
will be no going back. Once you get to the
(12:52):
point as a country where they're arresting each other, there's
no returning to where you were. That doesn't mean always lost.
All it means is what we're going to be. I
don't know, but it won't be what we were where
we are now. There's no return from it. There just
(13:15):
simply isn't. That is what it is. And I got
this email, Dear Oracle, stop asking us to be legal.
We are done. Did the colonial army ask permission? And
this guy's saying that because in the wake of the verdict,
I have once again reminded you that the Federal Bureau
of Investigations CIA NSA, basically the entire federal government atf
(13:41):
they have all been weaponized against you. This has been
going on for a long time. I realize everyone's just
now finding out about it now, but trust me, the
January sixth people have known about it for quite some time.
The federal government wants to arrest you. That little group message,
the little group text group you're in. There's a FED
(14:02):
in there, a federal informant. No, not my group there, patriots, Nope,
there's a federal informant in there. He's probably the one
trying to encourage you all to do something illegal right
now or violent. He's the one out there saying, no,
we gotta go kill them all. No, that's a fed.
They're going to read those text messages allowed in front
of your wife in court before they send you to
(14:23):
prison for the next thirty years. You stay legal, I'll
let you know when it's time for revolution. It ain't
time for that. And if you decide you're just going
to sally forth and it's time to fight back, you
will be fighting alone. How do I know that? I
know that because twenty five percent of Republicans even bother
to show up to vote in primary elections, which are
(14:46):
the most important elections in the country. Seventy five percent
of the people who are quote on your side can't
get out of bed on a Tuesday to go vote
in a primary election. So if you think it's time
to go to wal you will be fighting alone. We
haven't even begun to try to fight this at the
ballot box. Yet. We don't even try. We sit home
(15:09):
for every election, school board, primary, no matter what's going on.
We show up once every four years to vote for president.
And then we look around and what happened. We're all
is lost. You want to take on Alan Bragg? You
want to take on the Communists? Do you want? Is
that what you want? Okay? I agree with you. That's
what I want too. We have to train Alvin Bragg in.
(15:31):
The Communists have spent decades working their way through our
education system, our entertainment system, our corporate system. They've spent
decades in filtrating every part of the government by doing
what credit to them. Remember, make sure you give your
enemy credit where he deserves it. They've been putting in
(15:51):
the work while we were sitting at home catching the game.
I don't feel like it. This Saturday. They were out
there seizing power, attacking at all times. They're now in
a position where they can arrest, convict, and possibly imprison
the future president of the United States of America. But
they didn't get that strong yesterday. They got that strong
(16:13):
from years in years in years of training, putting in
the work elections, knocking on doors, starting organizations, sending out
dragging friends to the polls, sending out group text messages.
I have this cause, that cause, that cause. The Communist
is moving, attacking, destroying at all times. We wake up
(16:34):
one day and see Trump's going to prison, and we
say it's time for war. No, it's time for you
to shut up and run for school board. Enough of
the civil war talk, enough of the revolution talk, enough
of the take up arms talk. This country's so freaking
lazy and apathetic that we can't even go to the
polls to vote. So trust me, they're not going to
be fighting any kind of a civil war. And stop,
(16:56):
don't you dare email me, but every election stolen of Okay,
I'll tell you what before you send me that email.
Here's what I want you to do. You can send
me that email. You can tell me all elections are
stolen if in that email you detail your political involvement
before the twenty twenty election. Because if you're telling me
(17:18):
that now it's time to take up arms because they
stole it in twenty twenty and now it's all stolen,
then that tells me that you were majorly involved before
twenty twenty, and now you're sitting it out. You were
majorly involved, right, you're not. You're not just saying that
because you're mad. And this is I believe they cheated
in twenty twenty I'm acknowledging that, but that's become the
(17:42):
ultimate cop out lie for the lazy. I never get
off my butt and never vote in the primary. I
don't even know who's on my school board. I can't
name my state senator, but I got a Maga hat
and I ain't voting. It's revolution pad because every election's stolen. No,
you're just lazy. Get off your butt, go get involved
in elections. And wearing a Maga hat does not count. No,
(18:04):
wear your Maga hat, but that's not getting involved in elections.
That's not putting into work. Mike Tyson just knocked you out.
You don't get up and try to fight him again.
You go back and train. It's time for us to train,
all right, all right, let's find out why the Russians
are trying to kill a Green Beret in America, and
then let's talk about doctor Fauci. What should we do
to him? Also, we just had Medal of Honor Monday,
(18:30):
and we get emails all the time in of Jesse.
What do we do? How do we help these guys Jesse?
What do we do? Listen, the truth is that veterans
need more than a thank you, But they shouldn't. They
shouldn't require a handout, and they don't. Sometimes it's just
a matter of getting your VA benefits. Sometimes it's just
(18:54):
a matter of finding a new place. Do you know
when you switch to Pure Talk, When you switch your
cell phones service to Puretalk, just by switching, you are
supporting America's Warrior Partnership. They've partnered with Puretalk to help
veterans come home, stay home, stay employed, get their medical
(19:14):
issues taken care of. These are the things pure Talk tackles.
It's Pride Month. If you don't have Pure Talk, go
look up your cell phone company and Pride Month and
tell me what you find. Which would you rather fund
America's Warrior Partnership or Pride Month? Pick up your phone.
It's time to switch. Dial pound two five zero and
(19:36):
say Jesse Kelly Pound two five zero, say Jesse Kelly.
We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, and
we are going to switch gears a little bit here
enough for fauci Sta talk and lat and communism and
history and all the other stuff. Because there's a story
floating out there that has not gotten a ton of coverage,
and I find it endlessly fascinating. And my friend Brandon Wikert,
(20:13):
he's an author. He wrote the book The Shadow War,
which you should pick up. It's sick. It's as cool
as it sounds. Anyway, he wrote that book and he's
been talking about this story. So instead of me fumbling
through it, I'm going to hand it off to him. Brandon,
who exactly got shot? Was this guy a Russian who
did the shooting? What happened with this case?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, thanks for having me. It's it's been a far
too long. And yes, it was like an episode of
that old series The Americans. There was a lieutenant colonel
in the US Special Forces coming home. This was back
in May third came home from Fort Liberty, which you
and I know is Fort Bragg and he found a
(21:01):
swarthy Chechen in his backyard at eight o'clock at night
with a high powered camera taking pictures of his family
as they were going about their nighttime routine. The colonel
confronted this guy. The colonel was armed, and the Chechen
decided to get physical. The Special Forces colonel put the
(21:24):
chechen down. There was another Chechen in a car waiting nearby.
The sheriffs showed up and question of the secondary chechen
let him go because they claimed he was lack of evidence,
and the media where it has been reported in the
left wing media, they're trying to pin it on the Kernel.
But as it turns out, and I've done the investigation,
(21:46):
as you know as well, as it turns out this
chechen was officially a subcontractor for a firm called Utilities One,
which is a utilities company based out of New Jersey,
but it's it doesn't seem to be a real company.
They have contracts everywhere with our infrastructure, and yet the
owners are Russian and Moldovan. They're all from sort of
(22:09):
that part of the world. It was started in twenty sixteen,
and then in further investigation discovered that the Chechen in
question was actually here illegally. And this has prompted many
people behind the scenes who I'm communicating with to basically
say they think there are chech and hit squads infiltrating
the country through our broken border and targeting US Special
(22:32):
Forces members. In particular, this Kernel had just gotten back
from a covert deployment in Ukraine. So the storyline's just
you're merging. You've got Biden's broken border and Biden's failed
war in Ukraine all merging together in this really interesting story.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It is beyond interesting the number of questions I have
for you, Brandon. That it's a long list. So you're
just going to have to be patient with me, as
you always are. After all, I'm in idiot, So I
want to actually begin. Let's start overseas. Let's go through
the timeline that way. I think that will help me
and the audience understand this better. Okay, So we have
(23:10):
some Green Beret or Delta, I don't know what he was,
but we have this super stud in the army. He's
over there in Ukraine airfingers quiote, advising the Ukrainians. We
all know how all that goes. Now, I was never
in the Green Berets, and I most definitely was never
in Delta, but I do know that you don't hand
your id over to the other side to let them
(23:32):
know who you are and your home address. Could you
possibly walk me through how this guy's address would ever
land in the hands of some Russian operative hit man.
How could something like that even happen? Brandon?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, so this is why people people think that it
is probably Russian intelligence operations because basically, you know the
Russians are They're not dumb, and they are extremely wily.
They're very good at intelligence and counter intelligence, and so
what probably happened was throughout the course of the conflict
in Ukraine. I have been saying for a while now
(24:12):
that we have guys on the ground covertly. I get
yelled at by my friends at the Pentagon don't say
that publicly, but I think that's what's going on. Obviously,
this story kind of proves that. I'm sure the Russian
intelligence services have already figured out which units are being
deployed into NATO and then from NATO to the Ukrainian battlefield,
and they're sort of just reverse engineering the intelligence to
(24:34):
figure out where you know, these people are, probably can
locate them through social media a lot of if not directly,
this this member of Special Forces, it's probable his family members,
his children, or his wife are involved with you know,
social media. So it's not impossible for these very good,
(24:55):
competent intelligence services to basically figure out stuff like this,
even though it is Special Forces and we really try
to keep them covert. So I suspect That's probably what
was at play here, was they were identifying possible targets
to seek reprisals against. Because obviously this guy was not
just engaged in what were they saying it was propaganda
(25:19):
or information warfare operations. He was obviously doing something far
more direct than kinetic against probably Chechen units. I mean,
the Chechens are crazy, and so this might have been,
you know, honor thy father type of situation. Run amok.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, let's first of all, I think you're being a
little paranoid when you say these guys are doing more
than advising. Next you're going to tell me they were
doing that in Vietnam in nineteen sixty. Don't be so ridiculous, Brandon. Okay,
obviously that was firmly tongue in cheek for everyone listening.
They were doing something in Ukraine. Now, explain the Chechen thing,
(25:55):
because a lot of people don't understand how nutball these
guys are. Who these guys are, Who are the Chechens?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I thought we were at war with Russia?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
What?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Right? Well, Chechnya is sort of like, you know, the
Alabama of Russia. I guess you know, they're sort of
they're wild and crazy and you know, they're not Christian,
they are Muslim. And for throughout the nineties and early
two thousands, there was a series of really brutal wars
(26:26):
fought between the Russian government and Islamist insurgents in Chechnya.
Putin was able to defeat them, and then suddenly, you know,
Chechnya got a government to you know, a regional government
that was very pro Putin. There's a guy named Ramzan
Katarov who is basically a Jihati who loves Putin. So
he's kind of the Jihatis for Putin Brigade, and his
(26:49):
units have been deployed from Chechnya to the front lines
of Ukraine, especially as the Wagner group was pulled back.
The Chechnians are considered to be elite kind of warriors,
and they're very brutal and so and they have this
sort of almost kind of like I guess the Klingons
(27:09):
from Star Trek. You know, it's like a blood feud,
like if you long them, they will hunt you down.
It's sort of a religious and clan society. So it's
possible that this special forces unit of ours did something
in the conduct of the Covit War in Ukraine. And
poed the Chechens to the point that they're sending their
(27:30):
hit squads through our broken border. Thank you Biden for
leaving that door open. Uh. And they're you know, disseminating
throughout the country, hunting down, you know, targets of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Speaking with Brandon Wikert, author of the book The Shadow War,
going over this story with a Green Beret kills some
Chechen and film trader out behind his house. Brandon, I
should have asked you this beforehand. Is there any way
you can stay on? Who's got to take it? Quick break?
I just have a couple more questions about this. Okay, perfect,
(28:03):
We have Brandon Wikert, he is going to be here.
I have a couple more questions. I want to ask
him about what happened, what he thinks is happening on
a macro level, Why would Russia take such a step. Anyway,
we will be right back with a little bit more.
Brandon Wiker updating us on this story.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Hang on, get the Cure for Rhinos. He days with
the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember
if you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart Spotify iTunes wherever you
happen to get it in case you're just joining us.
This is part two of our little Q and A
with Brandon Wickert, author, one of these guys who knows
everything about everything foreign policy wise. He's been tracking this story,
(28:47):
the green beret who killed some Chechen in his backyard
who was photographing his family. Okay, so the green Beret
comes home from his deployment. Brandon, the Chechen we believe,
you believe probably correctly came across us, our leaky border.
If we're gonna be really really kind about that. My
question on the macro level is this, Brandon, America is hesitant.
(29:10):
In fact, we've not allowed our weapons to be used
in Russia against Russians. Why it's not because we like Russia?
Because that is an escalation that will prompt a response.
Why would the Russians take such a step. What if
this schen pulled it off and shot this Green Beret
(29:31):
and we woke up one day and found out the
Russians had sent in a hit man to kill a
Green green Beret. Wouldn't that be an escalation Russia would
want to not have?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Well, the you know, and in far be it for
me to defend the Russians, because I am by no
means a fan of Russia. But pretty much from the
American side of this war, we've kind of been poking
the bear the whole time. The very fact that there
are US special forces operated, you know, in Ukraine quote
unquote advising the Ukrainians is a problem in and of itself.
(30:07):
This war's been dragged out long enough, I think from
the Russian perspective, and they are basically looking for a
little bit of payback because the war probably would have
been over a year and a half ago had US
weapons and personnel not been used to kind of backstop
the Ukrainian military. And so while I do think you're
(30:29):
right the Russians don't want to see escalation, at the
same time, you know, the Russians, they're probably they don't
like to take things lying down, and so this is
kind of a great way for them to kind of
get the elites in Washington back for supporting their enemies
without possibly seeing an escalation, because I don't think had
this Green Beret and his family been murdered or kidnapped,
(30:51):
I don't think the administration would have let that news
get out. I think they would have tried to cover
it up because it would have indicated not only a
failure of their border policy, but have indicated a film
their Ukraine policy. In an election year. They can't have that.
So I think this was a message aimed from Putin
at the Biden administration. We know you're here, we know
what you're doing, and because of this, we're going to
(31:13):
start really messing around with you in your own country.
And I think that what you can expect to see
many more examples of this. And by the way, it's
not just the Russians. In fact, in my opinion, the
Russians of the least of our concerns. I talked to
a retired senior Customs and Border Patrol official about six
months ago who told me, Brandon, we've got fifty five
hundred Iranians running around the place you broke in through
(31:34):
the border. And then he also said, and I know
that you've reported on this before, there are ten thousand
military age Chinese males in the United States that broke
in here illegally. We don't know where they are, and
you can imagine what they're getting up.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
To, Brandon. If Russia and their guys they sent in. Obviously,
look you catch one, that means there are several times
that amount. Here, we happen to have a Green Beret
who was aware enough to catch the long telescopic lens.
Without that, we don't even know this is happening. So
these guys are here, they're here, they're operating. What do
(32:08):
we believe they're capable of doing? And I'm not in
any way obviously dismissive if they take out some Green Beret,
that's not good. Not okay, it's awful, it's awful, it's tragic,
But that's not poisoning a water plant, right, what do
they What do we believe these people can do if
they're motivated to do so?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
And this is your right over target. So my next
my next report that I'm doing is actually delving into
Utilities One, which is the company that the chechen in
question was supposedly a subcontractor for. There are many people
in the Intel community that I've spoken to who really
want a harder look at Utilities One because they think
(32:48):
it might be basically a front company. And if you
go on their website you can see a map of
all of the projects they're working on. In fact, there's one.
I live in southwest Florida. There's one right down the
road from me. Basically, they have their hands in critical
communicate telecommunications infrastructure project, water management project, water management projects
(33:13):
as well as electrical grid projects throughout all fifty states.
And that as possible that this is a Russian intelligence
operation masquerading as a company. And so that means that
there is a Russian possible front company with its hands
and every major facet of our infrastructure, which is obviously
not good for us, because if the Russians decide to
(33:34):
really go full board against us, they could be attacking
us at our own home front.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Okay, well that's great news. A Russian front company is
involved in all fifty states and little things like telecommunication,
the electrical grid, and our water supply. So anyway, with that, Brandon,
where can people pick up The Shadow War?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Well, you can pick up all my books anywhere they're
sold online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or in your bookstore,
and be sure to follow act We the Brandon on Twitter,
Getter and truth Social same handle.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Brandon. I appreciate you, my brother, come back soon. Look,
I'm going to move off this subject just because we
are so overwhelmed and being gone for a week. When
I say overwhelmed, I mean overwhelmed in a in a
good way with stories and emails and things we want
to get caught up on. But this is something like
it's not something for you to do, and it's not
(34:27):
something for you to not do, meaning don't adjust anything
in your life because of what you just heard there.
I know that was scary. It was. Look, I'm sitting
here and I'm thinking, oh gosh, that's scary. But there's
nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do.
Make some basic preparations and then live your life. However,
(34:52):
how long have we been talking about this, you and me?
How many times have you heard me behind this microphone say,
there's a reason proxy wars are normally fought like proxy wars,
they're fought in secret because you don't want to escalate
things where it becomes large nation state against large nation state.
(35:18):
So if you're the Soviets and you want to hurt
Americans in Vietnam, you quietly ship some AK forty seven's
down there. If you're Americans and you want to hurt
the Soviets in Afghanistan, you quietly ship some stinger missiles
into Afghanistan. But today, because we are led by utter morons,
(35:39):
they'll send missiles to Ukraine that are going to kill
Russians and then they'll give a press conference bragging about it.
And how long have I told you? This is going
to prompt the response, and Russia has the ability to respond. Anyway,
We're moving off this. We have way too much to
get to. We still have an hour left. Buffalo up.
