Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show, Final hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and asked Doctor Jesse Friday,
We're gonna talk just that in just a second.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
About why don't we win wars anymore? We were talking
about World War two and some guy's mad. Why don't
we win like that anymore? Why isn't the Santasan Trump's
VP list? Someone wants to know Casadillas, Why did the
Nazis go Why did so many of the Nazis go
to South America after w W two? All that and

(00:45):
so much more coming up this hour on the world
famous Jesse Kelly Show. Okay, so let's deal with this
really quickly. What the guy was lamenting. Hey, we have
Korea and Vietnam and Iraq, Afghanistan. We won the war,
we won World War two. We won Okay, Well, first
of all, let's look at that. We won World War two,
no question, we won it. Now why did we win it?

(01:10):
There are there's a lot of reasons, of course, the
bravery of the men, America's economy, all the Allies, all
kinds of reasons why we won World War two? But really,
the truth might just come down to this simple concept,
and it sounds stupid, Just stay with me. We wanted

(01:32):
to win it. We wanted to win it. We were
fighting World War two to win it. We intended to
win outright. You know that the Japanese overall strategy in

(01:53):
World War Two, it's been lamented by many, many, many people,
including myself, of why could they be so stupid? Why
would they attack Pearl Harbor then you just get America
after you That ruined everything for them? Why would they
be so dumb? How could they be so dumb? It's
been thought of as the biggest strategic blunder in world history.

(02:16):
It's that big of a deal. Who would just attack
America out of nowhere? But if I may play Devil's
advocate for a moment, you could argue it was a
pretty sound strategy that didn't work. And here's why. The
Japanese plan was this attack Pearl Harbor, cripple our Pacific fleet.

(02:42):
Cripple our Pacific fleet long enough to give them time
to fortify all these places they wanted to take, the
Philippines and everything else that had all the natural resources
they wanted. Then once they fortify it, they weren't stupid.
They knew we were going to attack. Okay, is going
to attack. We got that. We attack them, They're going
to attack. They're gonna be mad, bah bah blah, blah blah.

(03:05):
But eventually America is going to sue for peace or
if the war goes bad for us. I'm saying us
as the Japanese. If the war goes bad for us,
Let's say those Americans are winning a lot, we can
sue for peace. And in the end, if we sue

(03:27):
for peace, and let's say even America only lets us
keep ten percent of all the things we've taken, all
the parts of China and everything else. Hey, yeah, we
lost some life and whatnot, but in the end, we
are better off than we were before the war. And
that was a fairly reasonable assumption when you looked at

(03:53):
most of the history of warfare. In the history of warfare, Look, look,
we talk talk about the extreme examples all the time.
We talk about Rome burning down every single inch of
Carthage and every man, woman and child they didn't murder
sold off into slavery. We talk about things like that
because it completely eliminated an entire people gone. But that's

(04:18):
not the norm for war throughout history. The norm is battles,
cup of battles, cup of big ones. Ah dang, it
didn't go our way. Hey, sorry, my bad. Let's sue
for peace. Let's work this out. You can have some
of my territory. My bad. I'll pay you some money.
Suing for peace had been really how nations had fought

(04:40):
it forever, forever in Japan assumed that that's how America
would handle it. Hey, maybe they went a bunch, Maybe
we went a bunch, but in the end, we'll sue
for peace and work it out. They didn't. They didn't
really understand, and this is really their strategic fault. They

(05:03):
did not understand the anger that would come from the
sucker punch aspect of Pearl Harbor. They did sucker punch
us on perfect on purpose. They attacked before they declared war.
They of course acted like they didn't. Oh whoops, did
you guys get the men? Not get the memo? Ah dang,

(05:23):
was that a half hour late? They did that on purpose.
They wanted to use the element of surprise and whatnot,
and all that Stuff's fine. As I've said many, many,
many times before, if you're about to get in a
fight with a guy you can't take and you want
to sucker punch him, be my guest, it's certainly a strategy.
You better put him down some because people remember a

(05:46):
sucker punch a lot longer than they remember I lined
up against you, you hit me in the face. If
you and me we have a problem and we go fight,
Not that I would anymore, I'm too old. But if
we got in a fight, okay, that's fine. Hey, you
out beyond the jym, we'll go scrap it out. By
the time we're done, we'll probably be friends, especially as dudes.

(06:07):
That's usually how it works. You go throw hands, bloody lip,
bust it up, knuckle hey man, good fight. Hey, there's
a there's a mutual respect there. I can't count on me. Guys,
I got in a fight with it I was best
friends with later on. This just how it works. You
sucker punched somebody, you come up behind me and drew
me in the back of the head. We're enemies for life.

(06:32):
They really underestimated that aspect of it. Anyway, back to
the question, we fought that war to win that war, period. No,
there will be unconditional surrender. You've heard that term about
World War two a million times. That is abnormal. That
was not how wars had been fought. That's how we
fought Japan. Nope. Yeah, but can we say nope, well,

(06:53):
what if we were to just keep the emperor? Nope,
unconditional surrender, you get no conditions, you get nothing you want.
You come grovel at my feet, or I will bomb
every city in your country to ash and we did. Now,
that same resolve has not carried over to any of

(07:16):
the wars we've fought since, because well, there's a variety
of reasons, but being clear eyed about victory and our
objective and being attacked like that is not necessarily something
that's happened since. And now maybe you're sitting there saying, well,
nine to eleven, okay, that's fair. However, because nine to

(07:42):
eleven was done by a terrorist organization, you couldn't pin
it on a nation state. We were never at war
with Afghanistan. We just were not. We wanted to defeat
the Taliban in Afghanistan. We wanted to kill everyone in
Al Kaeda in Afghanistan, but we didn't march into Afghanistan

(08:05):
telling them you will all submit and surrender now, or
there will be no more Afghanistan. We never once approached
it that clear eide. And the thing about warfare, the
whole history of warfare shows this. You can be more
powerful and mighty and bigger armies and better technology and whatnot.

(08:26):
You have to want to win. We haven't fought it
like we wanted to win, and even worse, as America
got more and more bleeding heart and useless, we started
worrying when we did win. Whenever we would find victories
here or victories there, if it wasn't done the right way,

(08:46):
even though who came up with that crap? How do
you fight war the right way? If it wasn't done
the right way, then immediately you'd have half the politicians,
the general public journalists are dogging on you if you
aren't fighting a war war with a clear eyed purpose.
I am the good guy. That's the enemy, he's the
bad guy. I will win and he will die. If

(09:08):
that is not your mentality when you fight a war,
you will not win it. And we have not fought
a war in that way since World War Two. That's
just a fact, and that's what it That's why it
confuses people because our military is so advanced. Honestly, post
World War Two, our military got better technologically better, organization,

(09:34):
just better better, better, better better. But where are the WS.
Why didn't we win in Vietnam? Well, we were trying
this kind of tie in Vietnam. I just don't wait. North.
Look you're our enemy and whatnot, but we just don't
want you to take the South. Oh, we could have
won Vietnam with the warriors we sent over there. Hey, North,

(09:56):
if we step in here, you'll cease to exist. Sound good?
Back off. We never approached it that clear eyed. You
can't win that way. You send your guys into the
meat grinder and you get what you get. All right,
We're moving on. I want to talk about other things America.
Let's talk about some American politics. Let's speaking of Vietnam.

(10:17):
You know, I bring up Pure Talk a lot. I
tell you their CEO is a veteran Vietnam veteran. Pure
Talk has partnered with America's Warrior Partnership and America's Warrior Partnership.
They're the ones out there making sure our veterans are

(10:37):
taken care of. Our veterans don't get the medical care.
They have trouble with the VA. America's Warrior Partnership steps
in and says, hey, we'll handle the VA for you.
Our veterans they can't, they can't find work. I don't
know what to do. I'm lost my credit card dad.
But America's Warrior Partnership, they're the ones stepping in, stepping

(10:59):
alongside are veterans and helping them. When you switch to
pure Talk, that's all you have to do. You don't
have to do anything special. You switch to Pure Talk,
same great service, Keep your phone, keep your number, Your
bill gets cut in half, and you know that you're
supporting a company that actually loves this country, unlike those
other garbage commy cell phone companies. Pick up your phone,

(11:21):
dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly and
switch to Pure Talk. No better time than now. Just
had the anniversary of D Day. Pound two five zero,
say Jesse Kelly, We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
I like it returns next.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and
ask doctor Jesse Friday, you see where you ever?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
James call me out to say they were asking him
so how could they even put Trump in prison? These
people are These people are dreaming about it.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
A lot of people have suggested that there are a
range of factors that would make it difficult to put
a former There's not The system has not been tested
in this way. Do you agree with that that it
would be difficult or nearly impossible for the law enforcement
institutions to put him in actual jail.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
No, it would just put him in a double wide
somewhere out near the fence, out in the grass, and
he would eat there, he'd shower there, he'd exercise there,
he'd be away, as Donia Perry said, from general population.
But it's obviously doable.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I'm not one hundred percent sure these people aren't planning
on it. I've told you for the longest time they're
going to. Then the Georgia thing fell apart and the
DC thing got delayed. But man in New York, I
guess it could happen. Gosy. What we live in some
wild times? Hey, Jesse, please explain why DeSantis is not

(12:44):
on Trump's list for VP. All right, let me explain
something to a bunch. We've had this talk before, let
me have it again. And you may find this talk
to be offensive or upsetting. If you're a hardcore Trump
fan or hardcore de sant fan of something like that.
Just keep in mind if you're upset, I don't care,

(13:04):
all right, Donald Trump and Rondo Santis do not like
each other at all. I know that you are all well,
if you are one of these people who's just all
about the cause, you're all about America. You're not waiving
anyone palm palms. You just want America to win and
everyone to come together and defeat Joe Biden. I would
argue that's probably likely what you are. Then you can

(13:28):
take a dispassionate look at this and say, wait a minute, Trump,
he's only got four years left. Even if he wins,
he needs a strong VP. DeSantis has this incredible record
in Florida of kicking the crap out of the left.
The Republicans now dominate Florida. Why why not just bring
in DeSantis? From a dispassionate point of view, you are

(13:52):
correct if you have that thought. I'm not saying it's
a stupid thought. It's a very smart thought. However, you
are taking out the human element. This is not a
game of chess. There are people involved here. Ron DeSantis
and Donald Trump despise each other. They absolutely despise each other,

(14:14):
and I'm not telling you something I think. I know
many many people in both camps right next to both
of them. I am telling you what I know. Ron
de Santis thinks Donald Trump is a moderate, not a conservative,
not on the right. He thinks he's a moderate, idiot,
blowhard who hires morons and is incapable of actually accomplishing

(14:39):
anything to destroy the left. That is what Ronda Santis
thinks about Donald Trump. Donald Trump thinks Ron de Santis
is governor of Florida because of him. He thinks when
Rond de Santis jumped into this primary, he thinks Ron
de Santis knifed him in the back like Judas is Garyot.

(15:01):
Donald Trump thinks Ron de Santis is a trader and
a disloyal backstabber and hates him for that. These two
men despise each other. They are half playing foot see now,
because de Santis made a pledge that he would endorse

(15:21):
Trump and he would help him, so he's he's thrown
him a fundraiser, raising him a little money, came out
and endorsed him. But you notice you haven't seen them
on stage anywhere. You notice that, You notice, even as
recently as I think it was last week, Donald Trump
was still giving speeches bragging about how badly he attacked

(15:46):
DeSantis in the primary. I don't care whether you love
or hate that. I don't think I've ever seen that before,
because once you win a primary, the goal is always
you play nice with everyone, even if you were just
throwing poop at each other. Whenever you finish a primary,
everyone kind of pretends, especially the winner, because he's the

(16:06):
one who has to build the coalition. He always pretends
like none of that ever happened. Ron's the best guy.
Even if he hates his guts. You never take shots
at him public Trump's still attacking him publicly. Trump took
this primary more personally than you can possibly imagine. You
know who Bob Good is. Probably don't. Most people don't.

(16:28):
He's a congressman. You should know who he is. He's
the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. You know, the
only decent people in Congress. He is hardcore anti communist.
If Trump was to get if he's to get in
the White House, it would be critical for him to
have someone like Bob Good in Congress to help fight

(16:48):
for him and push his agenda forward. But Bob Good,
he was a DeSantis endorser in the primary. Trump is
trying to primary Bob Good. Bob Good might be the
best member of Congress. Trump hand picked a candidate and
endorsed him to run against him. That's how personally Trump

(17:09):
took that primary. There's not going to be a coming together.
And I don't care who wich side you blame. I
don't care if you're offended or mad about anything. I
just said. What I just told you is a fact.
There is bad, bad, bad blood there. And you can
point all the fingers you want, don't give a crap.

(17:30):
DeSantis would never in a million years agree to be
Donald Trump's vice president, and Trump in a million years
would never ask him to be vice president. That's just
a fact. We look at these things because we want
to save the country, right, We just want, hey, everyone
come together, let's let's beat Biden. That's that's how most

(17:52):
people think. We look at these things like chess pieces,
and we take out the human element. The human element
is and it matters a lot. All right, all right,
sorry to burst your bubble on that. We have a
lot more hang.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Out truth attitude.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Jesse Kelly, It is that Jesse Kelly Show on a
Friday and ask doctor Jesse.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Friday and it has been such a great day. Always
keep this in the emails.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Freedom is not free.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
What Chris? What did that confuse you? Allow me to
clear it up.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It's an
attempt to make TikTok better.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Tick tech toe A winner, A winner.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
A winner, Chris, something you'll never be doctor Jesse. What's
the proper way to prepare a case? Idea? This is
actually my specialty. So what Chris? Stay with me. Here's
what you do. You want to make the perfect case
of dea? You want to prepare the perfect case of dea.
You roll down your window and you tell Taco Bell

(19:00):
I would like a chicken casadea with extra jalapeno sauce.
That's how you do with casadia or if you really
feel like up in your game. Really, it's not well known.
The steak casadea from t Bell will change your life. Chris.
Have you had it?

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
You people can't eat that. Michael, have you had the
steak casadea? Oh? It's legit, isn't it? Yeah? See that? Oh?
Oh man, I'm excited. This might be a legit question.
This guy says World War two. What did Mexico do
Central South America? What was happening there during the war.
Everyone who pays attention knows the Nazi leaders escaped to Argentina.

(19:40):
Why Why did the Nazi leaders escape to Argentina. This
is a famous story for those who know. There are many, many, many,
many many Nazis who made their way down to Argentina.
Then to this day there are some hm, very white
communities down there in Latin America, lot of blond haired,

(20:02):
blue eyed people down in Latin America. Okay, well, allow
me to explain, and this may ruffle some feathers. Nevertheless,
it is true. First, Argentina Catholic. Okay, that's going to
come into play here in a moment. Argentina Catholic. Argentina
also their leader at the time, they were admirers of

(20:28):
fascism Hitler and Mussolini Argentina. There was a real relationship there. Now,
World War Two kicks off, Argentina obviously didn't get involved,
not that they could have helped anybody anyway if they did.
But Argentina didn't get involved. They did, however, open up
lines of communication create what essentially amounted to a pipeline

(20:52):
between Germany in Argentina. And you want to hear something ironic.
In some parts of Latin America, this applied to Jews
as well. Germanic Jews society wasn't getting all that nice
of them. This is before the war, before the Holocaust started,
when they were starting to dump on them. Hey, wear
an armband, all that stuff. Some Jews were looking to

(21:14):
get out, understandably, so many of them went down to Argentina,
went down to Latin America. There was a pipeline, there
a good relationship between the countries. Hey, kind of the
skids are greased if you want to leave Germany and
come down to Argentina. Now, towards the end of the war,
when a lot of the Nazis, the Adolf Eichmann types,

(21:37):
when they were reading the tea leaves, it didn't take
a genius to figure out the Nazis were going to
lose the war. Anybody with half a brain knew the
Nazis were going to lose the war as soon as
they lost at Stalingrad. So we're talking nineteen forty one.
It was early when it was obvious the Nazis would
lose the war as soon as they lost in Stalingrad

(21:58):
and started having to put back towards Germany. It was
just a matter of how it was gonna end. So
towards the end, some of them started to read the
tea leaves and they found some very welcoming arms down
in Argentina, and the Catholic Church got involved, various cardinals.

(22:22):
They sheltered Nazis and created fake names, fake passports for them,
and got them, smuggled them out of ports in places
like Spain. A lot of Nazis were actually smuggled out
of Spain. They smuggled them out of ports like Spain. Hey,
here's a boat, here's a bed, here's three hots and

(22:43):
a cot. In a couple of weeks, you're going to
be in Argentina. And there was a Nazi to Latin
America pipeline. Remember doctor Menglay. You've heard of doctor Menglay.
I assume if you have not, he is one of
the barbarians of history. I took my family to the
Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC one time. That's one of

(23:05):
those things everyone needs to do. My sons were too
young when we took them, so I'm gonna take them again.
We're gonna wait to do a DC trip. I've told
you we're history geeking out here. It is something everyone
needs to do, really really really well done. But you
can see a lot of this there. Mangle A. He

(23:25):
was the doctor at the death camps. He would stand
there as they were unload the Jews off the train
tracks and he would pick the ones he wanted to
experiment on. If you were twins or something like that,
he would take you and he would do I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna go into it here. It's Friday.
It's too dark, it's too ugly. You can go look
it up yourself. It's really really really bad. Well, they

(23:47):
never got him. He whitsed on out of Germany and
eventually I believe I re memory serves me. I believe
he had a stroke when he was swimming in the ocean,
as an old man had a stroke and drowned as
he was swimming in the ocean. They never got him.
I got never stood trial, never anything. Iikman. They do
alf iikman. That's a fascinating story. Maybe we should do

(24:10):
one time. The Israelis tracked him down. They found him
in Latin America. I think it was Brazil, but it
might have been Argentina. I haven't I ever read that
story in a while. They fled out, tracked him down,
found out where he lived, and one of those things
straight out of the movies covert ops knocked him out,
tossed him in the back of a van. Iikman finds
himself on a plane heading back to Israel to be

(24:31):
put on trial for war crimes. Yeah, it was one
of those cool stories. Yeah, good job, Chris. I know
you weren't involved, but I feel like by osmosis or something,
I'm not sure all that works. Anyway, it was one
of the cool stories. Oracle, Can you explain why the
Kamis hopelessly maintain blue cities and deep red states. I
live in Fort Lauderdale. That's as blue and rainbow as
any city could be. I would think they would pack

(24:53):
up and head to a blue state. Why did they
stay when the odds are greatly against the Communist only
sees things he hasn't conquered yet. That's one two These states,
these red states, have made a terrible mistake. Now Florida

(25:15):
is starting to get this better than the other states,
to be honest, surprise, surprise, Florida's doing this better. But
red states with these blue cities in them. Red states
are run by who Republicans. Republicanism is beyond the low
tee stuff. It tends to be more what you'd consider

(25:36):
conservative or libertarian limited government. Right. So when you have
a red state with a blue city in it, yeah,
the state government doesn't like it, but hey, it's not
really our business, it's not our jurisdiction. Hands off. And
so you have a quote red state like Texas, there's
a pride parade in Dallas or Austin. Every deck on day,

(25:57):
BLM protests the works. Because Red states still believe in
this lase a fair live and let live attitude. They
should be smashing these blue cities. Red state legislatures should
be passing laws to make life impossible for these communist cities.

(26:18):
But they don't. They don't. You ask why the blue
cities don't leave because the Red states don't make it
hard for them to be there. So these blue cities
turn into these little dirty communist fortresses and they're very
very very comfortable there now. They're mad about their state government.
But when you're a red state allowing a blue city

(26:39):
to exist like that, you're allowing a brain tumor to
just sit there and grow again. As we've talked about
many times before, including tonight, you have to be aggressive
with communists. You cannot be hands off with them. You
cannot be living that live with them. You must push
them back from the walls or they will eventually erode you.
Right now, let me tell you about preparation. After all, well,

(27:06):
w W three's in the news.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
And walk away from you. I apologize for the end
those weeks of not knowing what's going to end in
terms of funding.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
In case you're wondering what this is, this is our
very eloquent, very energetic president speaking with Vladimir Zelenski as
he hands I'm another two hundred and fifty million dollars
of your money.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Because we had trouble getting a bill that we had
to pass, had the money in it, some some of
our very conservative members holding it up, but we got
it done finally.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And since then, do you have your three month food
kit yet? Are you prepared for an EMP? You know
what an EMP over space would do to your area,
grocery store, gong, everything tronic gone, your car gone? How

(28:05):
long can you and your family live on the food
that is in your home. You don't have a car,
you don't have a grocery store to get to if
you did have a car, My Patriots supply sells three
month emergency food gets. Everyone who lives in your home
needs one. It's not just now, more than ever. You
just need one. Always buy it, stash it, forget about it.

(28:30):
Pray you never need it. They got them two hundred
dollars off right now at Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot com.
Do I need to remind you we're shooting missiles into Russia.
Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot com. We'll be back.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
It's the Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show. Remember if you if you miss me,
if you want to talk to me, yell at me,
love on no quit, don't love on me. You can
email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Don't forget.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
download a podcast of it. iHeart Google or iHeart Spotify

(29:13):
and iTunes. Chris, that Google thing is going to stay
in my head for ages now. It's not on Google.
Don't look there I'm also I promised you a brief
Midway talk, so let's do this. It's going to be
very very brief because this is anniversary of Midway as well,
June fourth to the seventh, or fifth through the seventh,
I forget, I think it's fourth through the seventh. Anyway,

(29:35):
Battle of Midway it was considered by many to be
the turning point in the war. I would probably argue
that point. But Japan was coming for Hawaii. Did you
know that. I don't mean attacking Pearl Harbor. Japan had
plans to invade Hawhite. You know. Japan did invade Alaska.

(29:58):
Did you know that? Took a couple of islands up
there in Alaska? No one knows about it because it
wasn't that much fighting and whatnot. But Japan was coming.
Japan believed in playing offense. We we had a tremendous
advantage over the Japanese in the war, one that they
didn't really realize until far too late. We kept cracking

(30:22):
their codes. They have to communicate by radio and whatnot,
and we kept cracking their codes. It's how we assassinated Yamamoto.
That's another fascinating story I should probably tell you for
another day. Do you know we assassinated the general who
planned the Pearl Harbor attack. It's a really cool story anyway,
I'll tell you that another time. But we cracked their codes.

(30:44):
And one of the biggest problems with cracking their codes
was what do you act on We have little bits
of information here, little bits of information there. Well, we
don't because you know, when you crack a code, you
don't get the whole memo. You'll get little bits and pieces.
So how much do you have? What do you think
you can use? Is this a distraction? And if we

(31:05):
act on this information, are they gonna then know that
we cracked the code? You have to always be worried
about that. Our code breakers figured out that the Japanese
were going to attack Midway Island. I know you're gonna
find this absolutely stunning, But it's called Midway Island because
it's midway in the Pacific between US and them. It's

(31:26):
just some little spit of nothing. It's just some little
sandbar for lack of a better way to put it.
But it's Midway Island. We knew they were going to
attack it. We sent our naval fleet over there to wait,
I say, offshore but it makes it sound like if
you were on Midway and you looked out, you'd see
a bunch of aircraft carriers. No, no, no, no, it was

(31:46):
nothing like that. We were waiting close enough to Midway
Island and we essentially did a large scale ambush of
their fleet. When they came to attack Midway Island, they
had no idea we were there. We came die bombing
out of nowhere. And it really is a great story.
And I'll tell you something, Hollywood actually did a decent

(32:09):
movie on it. It's not the best movie you've ever
seen in your life. Let me just clarify, it's really not.
But I remember it being okay for kids. It was
certainly okay for my boys called Midway. This is just
in the past few years. If you want, yeah, Chris,
it's really not bad. It's worth a watch and fairly
historically accurate. If you want an entertaining way to show

(32:31):
yourself or your kids Midway. And they go into some
of that code breaking and some of the bravery of
the insane pilots who fought in Midway. That's worth doing.
Those dive bomber pilots, torpedo pilots, fighter pilots. The pilots
in World War Two were so insanely brave, the torpedo pilots,

(32:53):
those guys. It's actually very sad for me because our
torpedoes were garbage at the beginning of the war. It
was a huge national controversy. Half the time they wouldn't
go off, or they'd sink too deep they did. It
was just a crappy torpedo. It didn't work. And to
be a torpedo pie that was the most dangerous thing
in the world because you had to fly real low
and fly paralleled to the water, real low to the water,

(33:17):
and straight out of ship. So they were always getting shot.
And those guys were getting shot and they didn't even
have a working torpedo. You'd drop a torpedo and it
would just bounce off the side of the ship or
something like that. We had guys, including at Midway, you'd
send out forty torpedo planes and none of them came back.
All of them gone. Very fascinating story, but highly recommend.

(33:38):
All right, and now here's a headline. Why you know
the thing emails we didn't get to Hey, Jesse, do
you think we have to take out the cartels in
Mexico before we start our mass deportation. They just elected
a socialist woman and their last leader, I believe, said
he wouldn't do anything about the cartels. The cartels need

(34:01):
to be dismantled, thoughts, and he asked me to play
the bar. The cartels needs need to be dismantled. That's
what you said. And it's not that I disagree, but
we have to be careful simplifying things that are not
necessarily simple. The cartels there are many, many, many of them.

(34:26):
There's not one, two, three, four or five. There are
many of them. They control half of the states of Mexico.
When we say take out the cartels, we picture movies
or books like Clear in Present Danger, where they're all
just going to gather at a mansion for a big
fiesta one day and we'll just drop a bomb on it.

(34:46):
That's not how it works. These people are ingrained in
the community. They are, for lack of a better way
to put it, the government of a lot of these communities.
If you need a new school, the cartel will build
one for you. Hospitals, Hey, we're having a wedding. Oh cool,
We'll throw the wedding for you. And I'm not acting
like they're good guys, but they are woven into so

(35:09):
much of the community down there. We think we can
just hey, send in Delta Force and go pop a
couple guys in the face, and we'll kill the cartels.
If you wanted to eliminate the cartels in Mexico. Anyone's
saying that to you, they're being dishonest or they're an idiot,
because it would take essentially conquering Mexico to destroy the cartels.

(35:33):
It would as long as there is a market for
drugs and human trafficking and all those things, and there's
always a market for those things, there are going to
be criminal organizations down there who are willing to facilitate
such things. All right, all right, I only had time
for one of these emails that didn't work out. You
put your phone down and enjoy your weekend. Okay, we'll
do it again on Monday. That's all.
