Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Days The Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the Jesse
Kelly Show on an ass Doctor Jesse Friday, a Friday
where we had more confirmation hearing is we've already played
you some of that.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We're about to talk about the cultural ratchet that only
goes left. Is that gone now or has that situation changed?
We'll discuss that here in just a moment. Someone wants
to know why does liberal and Peggy find value in communism?
What's the appeal in it for her? We'll talk about that.
Maybe a little medal of honor Japan stuff. All that
(00:50):
and more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now,
someone's said, in this one, Jay Steele, you aptly described
our policy as a ratchet rather than a pendulum, never
swinging back and forth, but always ratcheting further and further left.
With Trump's return and countries across the West rejecting their
(01:14):
leftist leaders, are we finally done ratcheting? She said, I'm
emailing from a Puertoc phone. Her name's Diana, and she
requested the bar. Are we finally done ratcheting? I don't know.
I doubt it, but I don't know. So let me
let me first of all, explain the concept really quickly,
(01:36):
for in case you're unfamiliar with it. Our culture overall,
not focusing on one election or one year or something
like that, but overall, our culture, for the entirety of
my life, the entirety of your life, has only gone
to the left, only to the left, sometimes super super fast,
(01:58):
sometimes really really slow. Oh, but only left. That's not
even debatable. Honestly, it's not even debatable. Gay marriage is
actually a great example of this. Barack Obama was not
exactly a president from ancient history. Barack Obama was president
from two thousand and eight to twenty sixteen, like five
minutes ago. He was president when Barack Obama was starting out.
(02:20):
In fact, for really the entirety of his career, he
was loudly and vocally anti gay marriage. Today, every single
Democrat in the United States House and Senate says that
trannies exist. That is, that is warp speed moving to
the left. It's just one example. But warp speed moving
to the left. Why is that? Well, A big part
(02:43):
of that is the niceness of the right. The right
does not have a conquering mentality and without an aggressive, offensive,
conquering mentality. You will be conquered by the communists eventually.
(03:07):
Maybe it'll be really fast, maybe it'll be really slow.
But because communists are aggressive, it's a religion of conquest.
They're aggressive and they believe in conquest. If you don't,
if you feel differently, that only ends one way. And
(03:29):
one of the greatest examples of that is actually what
we're about to experience illegal immigration, immigration, mass deportation, that
did all the things that come with that. So before
we even get to what's coming with Trump and his presidency,
(03:49):
let's talk about something that's been happening in this country
really since the sixties. They figured out this, of course,
was a Democrat thing and Rhino Republic can help them
with it. They figured out, Hey, these Americans, we want
to do all these things, all these great society welfare programs.
We want to figure out how to massively increase the
(04:12):
size of the government and buy off as many votes
as possible. How do we pass law that will ensure
we can win elections in the future, more of them
than we're winning Now, That's really all it came down to.
And Democrats back then figured out what tyrants and evil
people have known for the longest time. I read that
(04:32):
quote from Plato a long time ago. If I remember
right where they talk about a tyrant, an evil person
in government, he prefers the company of foreigners because people
who are citizens of his country, patriotic citizens, they don't
want him to rip apart the country. They have a
loyalty to the country. You have a loyalty to America.
(04:54):
So if you're an evil tyrant and you don't care
about the country, well I'll just bring in some people
from out of town. They don't love this place like
you do. You're an annoyance, so I'll bring them in
and they'll be my new friends. Well that happened years
and years and years ago. So for decades, people were
brought into this country in mass I don't mean legal immigration.
(05:15):
I worked hard, I got my citizenship. That I'm talking
mass importation of foreigners, legal and illegal. I should point
out every year there's a new legal immigration program. Wow,
we definitely need fifty more thousand people from Somalia. That's
what Minneapolis needs. Right. So this has been decades of
this and Republicans who love the cheap labor, Republican politicians
(05:39):
they wanted to keep going too. So decade after decade
after decade after decade, what we got sixty plus years
of the mass importation of foreigners into the United States
of America. Sixty plus years. Bringing us to now the
year twenty twenty four, how many should we deport's let's
(06:03):
call let's pick a number. Whatever number you pick, someone
will argue against it. I would say fifty million is
a good number to start on. It's probably more than that.
Let's say fifty million illegals are here. It's more than
that if we're going over the decades, But fifty million,
that's our number, fifty million illegals. Now those illegals, amongst
(06:25):
those fifty million there are most definitely going to be
hardened criminals, murderers, rapists, all those things. Everybody, for the
most part, everyone wants those people gone. Well, yeah, of course,
so prioritize the criminals everyone wants. Sounds good, It sounds good. Okay,
let's move past them. Let's say there were there were
(06:48):
five million to them. Okay, so we still have forty
five million left. Some of those are women, children, some
of those are dudes. Maybe maybe not hardened criminals. But
guy's got a drinking problem, got a dui let's you
We'll focus on the dui group. Let's say there's two
million of those. How many Americans on the right want
(07:12):
those guys gone too? I know you're yelling at the radio.
I do, I do, I do? Okay, good, me too.
That's that's good. Now they're gone. Now we have forty
three million left. Do we want all of them gone?
Every single one? And even if you are a yes
on that, think about the norms and normas in your life.
(07:38):
Do they want all of them gone? Men? Women, children,
all fifty million gone? Most people, if they're answering, honestly
say no, Well no, not the kids, no.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
If they've been paying taxes here for a while, well no,
he's a law abiding citizen. He's been my landscaper for
some time. Most people will get there. But we're not
even having an immigration talk. This is about the cultural pendulum.
If they imported fifty million and you deport forty nine million,
(08:15):
we've still gone left. The ratchet has still gone their way.
We're still not back to where we were before they
started the mass importation of foreigners. We are still further
left than we were before. But because we don't have
an aggressive mindset of conquest. We try to bail water
(08:40):
out that they purposely let in on every issue. This
goes well beyond immigration. On every issue. We will slowly
but surely try to bail water out on this and
bail water out on that. But you're never going to
get all the water.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I mean, look, we don't want to just focus on
the bailing water after all.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We want to we want to be kind about things.
You know what DEI is actually a great example of this.
Joe Biden's White House has just came out earlier today.
The I offices are closing all over the country, private corporations,
the FBI just shutter their DEI office, the Biden White House.
Of course they're Democrats, they're not laying off it. They
(09:21):
put this out today.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
President Biden promised that he would have a cabinet that
looks like America, and he did.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're talking about this incredible, full throated commitment to equity.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
There's more women, more women of color, more people on
the cabinet with perspectives that have never been around a
decision making table before.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'm the member of President Biden's cabinet. We got we got,
we got we got varies, So week boys, all that
puts well, what's d I. D I is aggressive culture Marxism,
that is open institutionalized anti white racism. That's exactly what
it is, Anti white man racism. That's what DEI is.
(10:10):
It is the open, very very open and honest acknowledgment
that you will be prejudiced against against white men. That's
what DEI is. Now, does closing a DEI office, let's say,
at the FBI, we'll make it about the FBI. Does
(10:30):
closing the DEI office at the FBI? Does it get
us back to where we should be. Let's talk about
that briefly and then we'll move on to some other
ass doctor Jesse things. Before we talk about that. To
figure out how far away we've gone from where we started,
(10:51):
maybe we should learn more about why they put the
things in the constitution they put in there. Probably pretty important,
wouldn't you agree? Or we can go even further back
than that. What about the history of the ancient Christian Church,
stories from the Book of Genesis? Do you want to
know more about these things? Hillsdale College is offering more
(11:12):
than forty free online courses. There's no cost. I can't
stress that enough. There's an education from the elite institution
of Hillsdale College waiting for you at no cost. Hillsdale
dot edu slash Jesse. That's where you go to enroll.
(11:35):
Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse Go. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Member
you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I just want to finish this thought about the cultural
ratchet and how we've only gone left and I brought
it up when it comes to immigration illegal you bring
in fifty million people, even if you deport forty nine,
you have not done enough. You haven't even gotten back
to where you were before. Period now culturally right now,
(12:12):
d eyes on the news, Biden puts out a DEI
video from the White House today. The FBI announced last
night their DEI office is shutting down, and we're all celebrating. Wooh,
that's great, nice, okay, but does that get us back
to where we should be? How did the how'd the
DEI office start? How did institutionalized anti white man racism?
(12:39):
How did it get there? Who put it there? What
are their names? And let's say their names are Chris
and Corey. If Chris and Corey are at the FBI,
working anywhere in the government, and they decided to institutionalize
(13:02):
anti white man racism known as DEI and start an
entire DEI wing for the federal Law Enforcement arm so
the FBI could fill itself up with a bunch of
evil communists who will infiltrate your church, then I need
Chris and Cory arrested. They have to be arrested. Closing
(13:26):
down the DEI office does not get us back to
where we should be. Getting us back to where we
should be involves closing down the DEI office and throwing
Chris and Corey in prison. So the next little animal
in the government who wants to do things like that
is too afraid to do so. And then we put
(13:47):
into place rules that we used to have in this
country that say you're not allowed to discriminate against anyone
for any reason, or if you want to take it
a step further when it comes to private businesses, maybe
we do what we should have done all along and
say you should be able to discriminate against anyone for
any reason. That's part of living in a free country.
(14:11):
If I want to announce that I'm only hiring Asians,
well I should be allowed to do so. If I
want to announce that I'm not serving Indians in my restaurant,
no more Indians in here, I wouldn't recommend it. Probably
not morally right, but legally it should be. But you see,
(14:34):
you have to untie, not after, not after, not after,
not after, not to get back to where you were originally.
And the truth is we are way too soft and
nice on the right to do those things. That's why
you've heard me yell when it comes to ilegal immigration
(14:55):
about this line. So many of them are taking well,
we got to start with the criminal first. They're all
freaking criminals. The public voice, the messaging should be, it is,
in large part it is I want to give them credit,
they've really been great. But in large part the messaging
should be, if you're here illegal and we find you,
(15:17):
you are gone. Period. In fact, if your children are
illegal and they're in school, better pull them out and
go back home. We'll find them. Period. If you're illegal
and you seek out emergency medical care in this country,
you'll get the medical care you need, but you will
never leave the hospital and step foot in the United
States of America. Again, you go right from there to
(15:38):
the bus back to where you came from. That should
be the messaging loudly, all of you gone. And then
then you find the people responsible, and I should note
the evil demons responsible for what they've done to this country.
(15:58):
They're currently worried about being found. That's why you're even
starting to get a little bit of finger pointing. Alejandro Mayorcis,
head of DHS, took over his head of DHS and
used his role to open up the United States of
America to murderers and rapists. He flew and bust as
many foreigners into this country as he possibly could. And
(16:21):
now the books are about to be opened because Donald
Trump won an election. May Orcis is worried about exactly
what I just talked about.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
You think none of those things. If you could go back,
you would do differently.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yes, And you have to understand something, and this is
not specific to government, but to any large organization, including
a government administration. People have different views on what the
correct policies should be, what the correct operational measures should be.
(16:55):
Those disagreements, those different views are voiced, decisions are made,
and then everyone marches in unity.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Together.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That is the nature of a large organization, and the
government is no different.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
But just so I'm clear that are you suggesting you
view your own personal views about how to operate this
were at odds or there was a distinction between your
personal approach and how you would have wanted to do
it and how maybe your bosses wanted to do it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I don't want to get into the deliberative process. We're
one team and it's one effort. But this is not
a revolutionary concept that there are disparate views when one
has many people involved in the decision making process.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He was real delicate about it, but you heard exactly
what I just heard. What's he doing there? He's making
sure if the hearings do come after he's gone, that
he's setting himself up for what in May I didn't
want to do. I didn't want to open up the border.
I didn't want to bring fourteen thousand Haitians in overnight.
I didn't want to fill up Springfield, Ohio. I didn't
(18:01):
want to bring that rapist.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Whatn' me? Whatn' me? The communist fears being found for
his crimes, and the right has never had the will
to do it, and That's why that ratchet stays a
ratchet that will stop when government people start getting arrested.
As I've said many times before, not one or two
government people arrested. They need to be obliterated, just like
(18:27):
my blender. What Chris, the Obliterator blender is the best
freaking thing I've ever bought in my entire life, premium blender.
And I know there's all these well we're the best
blender out there, Obliterator. You realize Chefman went out and
found the motor guy. They like, how can the thing
handle twenty years of daily use? You can't believe the
(18:48):
stuff we put in ours? How can it handle that?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Quality was a focus. Quality was a supreme focus of Chefman,
and now they have the Obliterator. It one the Red
Dot Best Design Concept Award. My wife loves it on
the counter. We use ours every day, oftentimes twice a day.
Want the best blender you've ever had in your life?
(19:13):
Chefman dot com, C H, E F M A N
dot com or you can go pick it up in
the nearest Walmart if you want it. The Obliterator. Gosh,
I love this freaking thing. All right, let's talk. You
know what let's talk a little bit of history. Then
we'll go back to normal times. Hang on, this is
(19:33):
a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Remember, if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing on iheard Spotify iTunes. You
can leave us voicemails since we don't really do phone
calls here. Eight seven seven three seven seven four three
seven three.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I live on the East Coast and I've had it.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
What's the better choice?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Montana or Wyoming?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Seriously, thanks, Wyoming or Montana. Okay, So, first of all,
for you Easterners, Southerners, Californians, people thinking about making the
trek into the Rocky Mountains, one great move, great move.
It's just the most beautiful place in the country. But
(20:24):
I'm just going to explain a couple of things about
living there that I'll get into the Montana Wyoming thing,
because they're very similar. First, I know this is a
very very obvious point, but winter is an entirely different
animal there. I'm not saying you can't handle it, or
you know, they're all superhuman up there. I'm not saying
that at all. But you have to prepare yourself for
(20:50):
seven months of winter. Eight months of winter. I remember
in Montana. Just look, it's just a mindset. It's just
the you're cold weather gear is going to have to
improve you. I used to sit around and this happened
to all of us. You would end up longing for
things that normal people will take for granted. For instance,
(21:17):
winter can it's not consistent, can last for so long
that by the end of it, you'd be driving around
and you would find yourself longing to drive on dry roads,
just a regular paved road. Something. If you don't experience it,
(21:38):
you take for granted all the time. Everyone listening in
Alaska is nodding their head right now. Something you take
for granted, something I take for granted. Now that I
live in Texas, I've never gone extended periods of time
at all without having a dry road surface, having to
adjust your driving because everything's snowy or everything's ice. In Montana,
you can go six, seven, eight months without laying eyes
(22:01):
on dry roads. It's I'm not talking you out of it.
I'm really not. I'm trying to prepare you. It's a
different mindset in places like that. Another thing, and this
is really basic for everyone everywhere. But I'll tell you something.
I try to teach my sons, although I could freaking
kill them because this message is not getting through enough yet.
(22:25):
When we're leaving, maybe it's raining here, maybe it's cold here,
maybe it's hot here. I tell them, whenever we're getting
ready to get in the car and go somewhere, practice
or something. You need to dress as if you will
walk as if your car is going to go into
the ditch, as if something you don't dress as if
(22:46):
you're in a climate controlled car. Dress as if you
have to walk at all times. Dress that way, right,
that's kind of a fairly old lesson. Yet still those
little medias, Uh, we were only going to school. I
can wear shorts whatever, bet in Montana and play in Wyoming.
This applies to that to people die all the time,
(23:09):
die because their car goes into a ditch and they're
not prepared. It is not an option for you to
have a foil blanket or some granola bars, some water,
something like that. You must at all times keep something
(23:31):
in your car that will allow you to survive the
night in your car in ten twenty below zero, because
it is something that may happen to you there and
there are remote roads where no one's gonna drive by
or even see you if they do until the next day.
What Chris Chris says, why would you want to move
(23:56):
to the eighth circle of Hell? Okay, So Texan, let
me explain this to you. What's the appeal of it? Well,
like I just said, it's very very remote. Wyoming's the
same way, very sparsely populated. Montana is the same way,
very sparsely populated. And there are positives and negatives to that.
As I just said, you're out on some two lane road,
(24:18):
you're up a canyon somewhere. You might be on your
own for a day or two before anyone sees you.
But remember I told you I used to go elk
hunting with my old man, and we would have we'd
go elk hunting in various places in Montana. But he
had this bow camp where he'd go bow hunting. That's
a different kind of hunting for you hunters. I know
you already know you use a bow, but you totally
(24:39):
hunt differently. You have to bugle the elk in and
then shoot him at the arrow when he comes in.
It's intense. Anyway, we at elk camp during the summer months,
you would have to prepare, meaning we would go we'd
get our horses, we get our mules packed, and we
would ride up into the mountains. And when it was
(25:00):
in summertime, you would dig your facilities. We would bring
non perishable foods, bury them up there in barrels. We
would bring I mean, we built a little toilet. We
dug out toilet ditch and brought a toilet set up
there so you could use the la It was that
kind of elk camp where you had to prep it
ahead of time. But then winter would come and we
would get back on the horses and we would ride
(25:21):
into Montana and you would be up up in the
mountains and you would look around and you were alone,
miles and miles and miles any direction, fifty miles in
any direction. There may not be another human being. You
are alone in the mountains. See look at Chris coming
(25:43):
around on it already. He's already doing that. Sounds kind
of cool, you see what I mean, Why would you
live like that? Well, that's part of the appeal of
living like that. The danger of it, the remoteness of it,
is also part of the appeal of it. It's a
very different way to live than what you're used to
if you grow up, if you grew up in Mobile
(26:04):
or you grew up in Boston, or you grew up
And I'm not saying it's better or worse or really not.
I prefer it over most of those things, but it
is different and you are going to have to prepare
yourself for that kind of difference. Now, the last thing
I will say on this because I do want to
answer your question. Then we'll get back to politics. And
I know we have to get to the Japanese World
(26:24):
War two stuff, which I will get to next. I
teased it and I didn't get to it because I
got distracted. So these rocky mountain areas like Wyoming in Montana,
in a smaller way, they suffer the same thing the
rest of the state suffer. You know here in Texas,
Texas is red. Now, it's very red, but it should
(26:47):
be the reddest state ever. Why isn't it? Dallas, Houston, Austin,
San Antonio, California, California should be blood red. Go look
at a congressional map in California. It's just red except
for San Diego, San Francisco. The big cities now, big
(27:07):
cities don't necessarily exist in Montana or Wyoming. But when
you get into a beautiful mountain city that is kind
of one of the central hubs, like Bozeman, like where
I grew up, Bozeman is completely left. Now if you
go into the city limits of Bozeman, you're gonna have
pride parades the same way you are in Manhattan. Same
(27:30):
thing happens in Austin, Texas. Same thing happens in Birmingham, Alabama.
Same thing happens every place is in Florida. You know,
we all love the freeze state of Florida. Gosh, but
we practically live there anymore now, bouncing back and forth.
Florida's got these little blue places. There are little blue
places in Montana and Wyoming. So don't just pick a
(27:51):
city and move there and think you're moving to Red America.
It's further to the right than Sacramento, but it's further
to the left than you think you're getting. But you
get outside of those places, the most wonderful, hospitable people.
I remember it growing up. I've never lived any place
(28:11):
like it in Montana. When it's a two lane road,
just you and the other lane, right, two lane road.
That's how we described it. People describe that differently. Every
single person who drove by waved at you, even if
it was just a finger off the steering wheel, not
the middle finger, Chris, and you wave back. It was
how you did things. You because it's remote, you help people.
You never drove by someone in a ditch or something.
(28:33):
You help other people. It's part of living there. And
it was wonderful there. Now I'll do Japan and back
to politics. Hang on, miss something. There's a podcast getting
on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Remember
you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Jesse consider reading the Metal of Honor for Commander Okaine,
US Navy. After the sinking of the USS Tang, he
and his crew were taken to Japanese pow camps, where
(29:10):
they remained until the war ended. After the war, Okaine
was awarded the Medal of Honor, while the Tang was
awarded four Battle Stars and two Presidential Unit Citations. The
Tang was ultimately credited with sinking thirty three ships totally
one hundred and sixteen thousand, four hundred and fifty four tons.
I'll get to that in a moment. I'm a submarine
(29:32):
submarine r VET and in twenty years older than you.
Love your show, and knowing someone younger is watching out
for the young vets gives me hopes. Stay on the
air as long as you can go Navy, he says.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Gosh, jeez, why are you ge No in all seriousness, Okay,
so tons, I just wanted to do a couple quick
things on this because because some of this stuff can
get confusing if you're not a history nerd. When you
hear were War two vets, war in the Pacific, Vets
in particular, although this took place in the Atlantic as well.
(30:07):
When you hear them describe the tones, the tones, what
about the tons, I want to explain what they're talking about.
Like the tang was credited over one hundred and sixteen
thousand tons. Those are goods that were heading to Japan
or from Japan as Japan was trying to supply their
(30:28):
other outposts in the Pacific. What we did to Japan
and World War two, it's very, very fascinating. It's essentially
a more modern version of an ancient siege if I
brought my army to your city and I laid siege
(30:48):
to your city, what's the idea behind a siege. I'm
hopefully going to take the city. I'm going to make
efforts to take the city. But whether I can take
the city soon or take the city later, your city
going to be getting weaker as I surrounded. Why I'm
starving you to death, I'm starving you. You're not allowed
(31:08):
to bring things in in mass, You're not allowed to
send things out. Trade stops. Your city under siege gets
cut off. We during World War Two did the most
ridiculously massive build up of the navy of any navy
in the history of mankind. There are guys, and there
(31:30):
were guys during World War Two who argued to this
day a pretty good argument that we overbuilt it, that
we under that we underserved other portions of the military
by going all in with the navy. We had more
ships than you can imagine. And what we did with
that was, I'm gonna set the Atlantic aside. What we
(31:51):
did with Germany, but not what we did with that
was we shut the waters in the Pacific down around Japan,
sinking ship after ship. I'm not just talking about their
navy ships. We were sinking merchant vessels in mass You
were not allowed to bring shipments of stuff into Japan.
(32:16):
The United States of America stopped it if it was
on the water and it wasn't our ship. It was
going down to the bottom of the Pacific. And remember,
as we talked about before, nineteen forty two was our
bad year really all around. That was our bad year
where they were still on the move. They were beating
us up pretty good. They beat us up in the
(32:37):
water pretty good. But after nineteen forty two, for the
Nazis and the Japanese that ended, they were they never
had the upper hand again. They were always losing ground
from that point. Post nineteen forty two, we just simply
filled up the waters of the Pacific with submarines, destroyers, cruisers, battleships,
(32:58):
aircraft carriers, all these different wonderful ships, and we just
sunk everything we saw. And he brought up Okaine. I
believe his name was Dick. I think it was Richard Okaine,
if I remember right. I didn't look this up for him,
and Chris looked that up. Commander of the Tang Commander Okaine.
I believe it was Dick Okaine, But Dick Okaine in
(33:20):
the tang and his in his crew to be on
a submarine in World War two, really anytime. As much
as I hate give giving credit to the Navy, I
really admire the service. It's it's a tough service. During
World War Two. I don't know if it's still this way.
It was purely volunteer, purely volunteer, and understandably so it
(33:41):
was insanely dangerous. Remember back then, if your submarine went
down under the water, you were it was Dick Okaine,
it was Richard Okain. Okay, I thought, so you were
so slow you were borderline not even moving. You wonder
how these submarines got blown up while they're under the water.
The planes fly over and they see them, and you
(34:03):
can't move. Destroyers on the surface looking for you will
run you down like nothing if you're under the water.
So you have to be on the surface if you
want to move at any speed. But the idea of
being on the surface, yeah, you need the speed, but
you have no armor. You're not a battleship with layers
of armor and aircraft carrier. It is paper thin on
(34:26):
a submarine, and submarines died by airplane all the time.
Airplanes would find them, stray them. You're finished. It was
insanely dangerous to be a submariner in World War II.
Or sub mariner, I know, everyone pronounces that differently. These
guys like Dick o'caine were alpha male hunters, though, when
(34:51):
you read their stories, and there were a lot of
these guys, mush Morton, there were a lot of great
submarine or captains. These guys all they wanted, give me
working torpedoes and send me out, and they would go
out into the deepest depths of enemy territory and they
would go try to shoot down everything Japanese they could find,
(35:12):
and a lot of them die because the Japanese knew
what was happening, and they knew how important it was
to stop the submarines from stopping their merchant shipping, so
they constantly had planes on patrol, ships on patrol trying
to find it. And these guys, they cruisy submarines right
into some big Japanese harbor and start sinking ships. Now
(35:34):
that feels good when the torpedoes are landing. It doesn't
feel quite as good when they're dropping depth charges on
top of your face. Crazy bravery from the United States
Navy and World War Two. As much fun as I
have mocking the other branches, really admire the serviceman. I've
(35:54):
told history stories about that before that. To be on
some big floating ship full of fuel and bombs and
bullets and all around you the steel is shrapnel if
something explodes. To be on a major ship exchanging gunfire
(36:15):
with another major ship, I couldn't do it. I don't
have the guts. I could never do it. It terrifies me.
All right, let's talk about the communist mindset. Let's go
back to some politics, shall we. Why why do they
find value in communism? We'll get to that in a moment.
Before we get to that, you know where you can
(36:35):
find a valuable employee. It's not in the online classified section,
I promise, it's not in the local newspaper. You're not
going to find them putting something on the front door
of your restaurant. You want to find quality people for
your company, They're at ZIP recruiter. It's the number one
hiring site for a reason. That's where the good employees are,
(36:58):
and they're waiting there. And it's not as if you
have some brutal lag time you realize that you go
create your profile and by the way, you try it
for free. You go create your profile. The employees are
waiting for you right now, I'm looking forward. I can't
find they're all with ZipRecruiter. Want to try it for free?
(37:18):
ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse is where you try it
for free. That employee you're looking for, he's on ZipRecruiter
as we speak. Are you going to join him there?

This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Days The Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the Jesse
Kelly Show on an ass Doctor Jesse Friday, a Friday
where we had more confirmation hearing is we've already played
you some of that.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We're about to talk about the cultural ratchet that only
goes left. Is that gone now or has that situation changed?
We'll discuss that here in just a moment. Someone wants
to know why does liberal and Peggy find value in communism?
What's the appeal in it for her? We'll talk about that.
Maybe a little medal of honor Japan stuff. All that
(00:50):
and more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now,
someone's said, in this one, Jay Steele, you aptly described
our policy as a ratchet rather than a pendulum, never
swinging back and forth, but always ratcheting further and further left.
With Trump's return and countries across the West rejecting their
(01:14):
leftist leaders, are we finally done ratcheting? She said, I'm
emailing from a Puertoc phone. Her name's Diana, and she
requested the bar. Are we finally done ratcheting? I don't know.
I doubt it, but I don't know. So let me
let me first of all, explain the concept really quickly,
(01:36):
for in case you're unfamiliar with it. Our culture overall,
not focusing on one election or one year or something
like that, but overall, our culture, for the entirety of
my life, the entirety of your life, has only gone
to the left, only to the left, sometimes super super fast,
(01:58):
sometimes really really slow. Oh, but only left. That's not
even debatable. Honestly, it's not even debatable. Gay marriage is
actually a great example of this. Barack Obama was not
exactly a president from ancient history. Barack Obama was president
from two thousand and eight to twenty sixteen, like five
minutes ago. He was president when Barack Obama was starting out.
(02:20):
In fact, for really the entirety of his career, he
was loudly and vocally anti gay marriage. Today, every single
Democrat in the United States House and Senate says that
trannies exist. That is, that is warp speed moving to
the left. It's just one example. But warp speed moving
to the left. Why is that? Well, A big part
(02:43):
of that is the niceness of the right. The right
does not have a conquering mentality and without an aggressive, offensive,
conquering mentality. You will be conquered by the communists eventually.
(03:07):
Maybe it'll be really fast, maybe it'll be really slow.
But because communists are aggressive, it's a religion of conquest.
They're aggressive and they believe in conquest. If you don't,
if you feel differently, that only ends one way. And
(03:29):
one of the greatest examples of that is actually what
we're about to experience illegal immigration, immigration, mass deportation, that
did all the things that come with that. So before
we even get to what's coming with Trump and his presidency,
(03:49):
let's talk about something that's been happening in this country
really since the sixties. They figured out this, of course,
was a Democrat thing and Rhino Republic can help them
with it. They figured out, Hey, these Americans, we want
to do all these things, all these great society welfare programs.
We want to figure out how to massively increase the
(04:12):
size of the government and buy off as many votes
as possible. How do we pass law that will ensure
we can win elections in the future, more of them
than we're winning Now, That's really all it came down to.
And Democrats back then figured out what tyrants and evil
people have known for the longest time. I read that
(04:32):
quote from Plato a long time ago. If I remember
right where they talk about a tyrant, an evil person
in government, he prefers the company of foreigners because people
who are citizens of his country, patriotic citizens, they don't
want him to rip apart the country. They have a
loyalty to the country. You have a loyalty to America.
(04:54):
So if you're an evil tyrant and you don't care
about the country, well I'll just bring in some people
from out of town. They don't love this place like
you do. You're an annoyance, so I'll bring them in
and they'll be my new friends. Well that happened years
and years and years ago. So for decades, people were
brought into this country in mass I don't mean legal immigration.
(05:15):
I worked hard, I got my citizenship. That I'm talking
mass importation of foreigners, legal and illegal. I should point
out every year there's a new legal immigration program. Wow,
we definitely need fifty more thousand people from Somalia. That's
what Minneapolis needs. Right. So this has been decades of
this and Republicans who love the cheap labor, Republican politicians
(05:39):
they wanted to keep going too. So decade after decade
after decade after decade, what we got sixty plus years
of the mass importation of foreigners into the United States
of America. Sixty plus years. Bringing us to now the
year twenty twenty four, how many should we deport's let's
(06:03):
call let's pick a number. Whatever number you pick, someone
will argue against it. I would say fifty million is
a good number to start on. It's probably more than that.
Let's say fifty million illegals are here. It's more than
that if we're going over the decades, But fifty million,
that's our number, fifty million illegals. Now those illegals, amongst
(06:25):
those fifty million there are most definitely going to be
hardened criminals, murderers, rapists, all those things. Everybody, for the
most part, everyone wants those people gone. Well, yeah, of course,
so prioritize the criminals everyone wants. Sounds good, It sounds good. Okay,
let's move past them. Let's say there were there were
(06:48):
five million to them. Okay, so we still have forty
five million left. Some of those are women, children, some
of those are dudes. Maybe maybe not hardened criminals. But
guy's got a drinking problem, got a dui let's you
We'll focus on the dui group. Let's say there's two
million of those. How many Americans on the right want
(07:12):
those guys gone too? I know you're yelling at the radio.
I do, I do, I do? Okay, good, me too.
That's that's good. Now they're gone. Now we have forty
three million left. Do we want all of them gone?
Every single one? And even if you are a yes
on that, think about the norms and normas in your life.
(07:38):
Do they want all of them gone? Men? Women, children,
all fifty million gone? Most people, if they're answering, honestly
say no, Well no, not the kids, no.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
If they've been paying taxes here for a while, well no,
he's a law abiding citizen. He's been my landscaper for
some time. Most people will get there. But we're not
even having an immigration talk. This is about the cultural pendulum.
If they imported fifty million and you deport forty nine million,
(08:15):
we've still gone left. The ratchet has still gone their way.
We're still not back to where we were before they
started the mass importation of foreigners. We are still further
left than we were before. But because we don't have
an aggressive mindset of conquest. We try to bail water
(08:40):
out that they purposely let in on every issue. This
goes well beyond immigration. On every issue. We will slowly
but surely try to bail water out on this and
bail water out on that. But you're never going to
get all the water.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I mean, look, we don't want to just focus on
the bailing water after all.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We want to we want to be kind about things.
You know what DEI is actually a great example of this.
Joe Biden's White House has just came out earlier today.
The I offices are closing all over the country, private corporations,
the FBI just shutter their DEI office, the Biden White House.
Of course they're Democrats, they're not laying off it. They
(09:21):
put this out today.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
President Biden promised that he would have a cabinet that
looks like America, and he did.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We're talking about this incredible, full throated commitment to equity.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
There's more women, more women of color, more people on
the cabinet with perspectives that have never been around a
decision making table before.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'm the member of President Biden's cabinet. We got we got,
we got we got varies, So week boys, all that
puts well, what's d I. D I is aggressive culture Marxism,
that is open institutionalized anti white racism. That's exactly what
it is, Anti white man racism. That's what DEI is.
(10:10):
It is the open, very very open and honest acknowledgment
that you will be prejudiced against against white men. That's
what DEI is. Now, does closing a DEI office, let's say,
at the FBI, we'll make it about the FBI. Does
(10:30):
closing the DEI office at the FBI? Does it get
us back to where we should be. Let's talk about
that briefly and then we'll move on to some other
ass doctor Jesse things. Before we talk about that. To
figure out how far away we've gone from where we started,
(10:51):
maybe we should learn more about why they put the
things in the constitution they put in there. Probably pretty important,
wouldn't you agree? Or we can go even further back
than that. What about the history of the ancient Christian Church,
stories from the Book of Genesis? Do you want to
know more about these things? Hillsdale College is offering more
(11:12):
than forty free online courses. There's no cost. I can't
stress that enough. There's an education from the elite institution
of Hillsdale College waiting for you at no cost. Hillsdale
dot edu slash Jesse. That's where you go to enroll.
(11:35):
Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse Go. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Member
you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I just want to finish this thought about the cultural
ratchet and how we've only gone left and I brought
it up when it comes to immigration illegal you bring
in fifty million people, even if you deport forty nine,
you have not done enough. You haven't even gotten back
to where you were before. Period now culturally right now,
(12:12):
d eyes on the news, Biden puts out a DEI
video from the White House today. The FBI announced last
night their DEI office is shutting down, and we're all celebrating. Wooh,
that's great, nice, okay, but does that get us back
to where we should be? How did the how'd the
DEI office start? How did institutionalized anti white man racism?
(12:39):
How did it get there? Who put it there? What
are their names? And let's say their names are Chris
and Corey. If Chris and Corey are at the FBI,
working anywhere in the government, and they decided to institutionalize
(13:02):
anti white man racism known as DEI and start an
entire DEI wing for the federal Law Enforcement arm so
the FBI could fill itself up with a bunch of
evil communists who will infiltrate your church, then I need
Chris and Cory arrested. They have to be arrested. Closing
(13:26):
down the DEI office does not get us back to
where we should be. Getting us back to where we
should be involves closing down the DEI office and throwing
Chris and Corey in prison. So the next little animal
in the government who wants to do things like that
is too afraid to do so. And then we put
(13:47):
into place rules that we used to have in this
country that say you're not allowed to discriminate against anyone
for any reason, or if you want to take it
a step further when it comes to private businesses, maybe
we do what we should have done all along and
say you should be able to discriminate against anyone for
any reason. That's part of living in a free country.
(14:11):
If I want to announce that I'm only hiring Asians,
well I should be allowed to do so. If I
want to announce that I'm not serving Indians in my restaurant,
no more Indians in here, I wouldn't recommend it. Probably
not morally right, but legally it should be. But you see,
(14:34):
you have to untie, not after, not after, not after,
not after, not to get back to where you were originally.
And the truth is we are way too soft and
nice on the right to do those things. That's why
you've heard me yell when it comes to ilegal immigration
(14:55):
about this line. So many of them are taking well,
we got to start with the criminal first. They're all
freaking criminals. The public voice, the messaging should be, it is,
in large part it is I want to give them credit,
they've really been great. But in large part the messaging
should be, if you're here illegal and we find you,
(15:17):
you are gone. Period. In fact, if your children are
illegal and they're in school, better pull them out and
go back home. We'll find them. Period. If you're illegal
and you seek out emergency medical care in this country,
you'll get the medical care you need, but you will
never leave the hospital and step foot in the United
States of America. Again, you go right from there to
(15:38):
the bus back to where you came from. That should
be the messaging loudly, all of you gone. And then
then you find the people responsible, and I should note
the evil demons responsible for what they've done to this country.
(15:58):
They're currently worried about being found. That's why you're even
starting to get a little bit of finger pointing. Alejandro Mayorcis,
head of DHS, took over his head of DHS and
used his role to open up the United States of
America to murderers and rapists. He flew and bust as
many foreigners into this country as he possibly could. And
(16:21):
now the books are about to be opened because Donald
Trump won an election. May Orcis is worried about exactly
what I just talked about.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
You think none of those things. If you could go back,
you would do differently.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yes, And you have to understand something, and this is
not specific to government, but to any large organization, including
a government administration. People have different views on what the
correct policies should be, what the correct operational measures should be.
(16:55):
Those disagreements, those different views are voiced, decisions are made,
and then everyone marches in unity.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Together.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
That is the nature of a large organization, and the
government is no different.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
But just so I'm clear that are you suggesting you
view your own personal views about how to operate this
were at odds or there was a distinction between your
personal approach and how you would have wanted to do
it and how maybe your bosses wanted to do it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I don't want to get into the deliberative process. We're
one team and it's one effort. But this is not
a revolutionary concept that there are disparate views when one
has many people involved in the decision making process.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He was real delicate about it, but you heard exactly
what I just heard. What's he doing there? He's making
sure if the hearings do come after he's gone, that
he's setting himself up for what in May I didn't
want to do. I didn't want to open up the border.
I didn't want to bring fourteen thousand Haitians in overnight.
I didn't want to fill up Springfield, Ohio. I didn't
(18:01):
want to bring that rapist.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Whatn' me? Whatn' me? The communist fears being found for
his crimes, and the right has never had the will
to do it, and That's why that ratchet stays a
ratchet that will stop when government people start getting arrested.
As I've said many times before, not one or two
government people arrested. They need to be obliterated, just like
(18:27):
my blender. What Chris, the Obliterator blender is the best
freaking thing I've ever bought in my entire life, premium blender.
And I know there's all these well we're the best
blender out there, Obliterator. You realize Chefman went out and
found the motor guy. They like, how can the thing
handle twenty years of daily use? You can't believe the
(18:48):
stuff we put in ours? How can it handle that?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Quality was a focus. Quality was a supreme focus of Chefman,
and now they have the Obliterator. It one the Red
Dot Best Design Concept Award. My wife loves it on
the counter. We use ours every day, oftentimes twice a day.
Want the best blender you've ever had in your life?
(19:13):
Chefman dot com, C H, E F M A N
dot com or you can go pick it up in
the nearest Walmart if you want it. The Obliterator. Gosh,
I love this freaking thing. All right, let's talk. You
know what let's talk a little bit of history. Then
we'll go back to normal times. Hang on, this is
(19:33):
a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Remember, if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing on iheard Spotify iTunes. You
can leave us voicemails since we don't really do phone
calls here. Eight seven seven three seven seven four three
seven three.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I live on the East Coast and I've had it.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
What's the better choice?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Montana or Wyoming?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Seriously, thanks, Wyoming or Montana. Okay, So, first of all,
for you Easterners, Southerners, Californians, people thinking about making the
trek into the Rocky Mountains, one great move, great move.
It's just the most beautiful place in the country. But
(20:24):
I'm just going to explain a couple of things about
living there that I'll get into the Montana Wyoming thing,
because they're very similar. First, I know this is a
very very obvious point, but winter is an entirely different
animal there. I'm not saying you can't handle it, or
you know, they're all superhuman up there. I'm not saying
that at all. But you have to prepare yourself for
(20:50):
seven months of winter. Eight months of winter. I remember
in Montana. Just look, it's just a mindset. It's just
the you're cold weather gear is going to have to
improve you. I used to sit around and this happened
to all of us. You would end up longing for
things that normal people will take for granted. For instance,
(21:17):
winter can it's not consistent, can last for so long
that by the end of it, you'd be driving around
and you would find yourself longing to drive on dry roads,
just a regular paved road. Something. If you don't experience it,
(21:38):
you take for granted all the time. Everyone listening in
Alaska is nodding their head right now. Something you take
for granted, something I take for granted. Now that I
live in Texas, I've never gone extended periods of time
at all without having a dry road surface, having to
adjust your driving because everything's snowy or everything's ice. In Montana,
you can go six, seven, eight months without laying eyes
(22:01):
on dry roads. It's I'm not talking you out of it.
I'm really not. I'm trying to prepare you. It's a
different mindset in places like that. Another thing, and this
is really basic for everyone everywhere. But I'll tell you something.
I try to teach my sons, although I could freaking
kill them because this message is not getting through enough yet.
(22:25):
When we're leaving, maybe it's raining here, maybe it's cold here,
maybe it's hot here. I tell them, whenever we're getting
ready to get in the car and go somewhere, practice
or something. You need to dress as if you will
walk as if your car is going to go into
the ditch, as if something you don't dress as if
(22:46):
you're in a climate controlled car. Dress as if you
have to walk at all times. Dress that way, right,
that's kind of a fairly old lesson. Yet still those
little medias, Uh, we were only going to school. I
can wear shorts whatever, bet in Montana and play in Wyoming.
This applies to that to people die all the time,
(23:09):
die because their car goes into a ditch and they're
not prepared. It is not an option for you to
have a foil blanket or some granola bars, some water,
something like that. You must at all times keep something
(23:31):
in your car that will allow you to survive the
night in your car in ten twenty below zero, because
it is something that may happen to you there and
there are remote roads where no one's gonna drive by
or even see you if they do until the next day.
What Chris Chris says, why would you want to move
(23:56):
to the eighth circle of Hell? Okay, So Texan, let
me explain this to you. What's the appeal of it? Well,
like I just said, it's very very remote. Wyoming's the
same way, very sparsely populated. Montana is the same way,
very sparsely populated. And there are positives and negatives to that.
As I just said, you're out on some two lane road,
(24:18):
you're up a canyon somewhere. You might be on your
own for a day or two before anyone sees you.
But remember I told you I used to go elk
hunting with my old man, and we would have we'd
go elk hunting in various places in Montana. But he
had this bow camp where he'd go bow hunting. That's
a different kind of hunting for you hunters. I know
you already know you use a bow, but you totally
(24:39):
hunt differently. You have to bugle the elk in and
then shoot him at the arrow when he comes in.
It's intense. Anyway, we at elk camp during the summer months,
you would have to prepare, meaning we would go we'd
get our horses, we get our mules packed, and we
would ride up into the mountains. And when it was
(25:00):
in summertime, you would dig your facilities. We would bring
non perishable foods, bury them up there in barrels. We
would bring I mean, we built a little toilet. We
dug out toilet ditch and brought a toilet set up
there so you could use the la It was that
kind of elk camp where you had to prep it
ahead of time. But then winter would come and we
would get back on the horses and we would ride
(25:21):
into Montana and you would be up up in the
mountains and you would look around and you were alone,
miles and miles and miles any direction, fifty miles in
any direction. There may not be another human being. You
are alone in the mountains. See look at Chris coming
(25:43):
around on it already. He's already doing that. Sounds kind
of cool, you see what I mean, Why would you
live like that? Well, that's part of the appeal of
living like that. The danger of it, the remoteness of it,
is also part of the appeal of it. It's a
very different way to live than what you're used to
if you grow up, if you grew up in Mobile
(26:04):
or you grew up in Boston, or you grew up
And I'm not saying it's better or worse or really not.
I prefer it over most of those things, but it
is different and you are going to have to prepare
yourself for that kind of difference. Now, the last thing
I will say on this because I do want to
answer your question. Then we'll get back to politics. And
I know we have to get to the Japanese World
(26:24):
War two stuff, which I will get to next. I
teased it and I didn't get to it because I
got distracted. So these rocky mountain areas like Wyoming in Montana,
in a smaller way, they suffer the same thing the
rest of the state suffer. You know here in Texas,
Texas is red. Now, it's very red, but it should
(26:47):
be the reddest state ever. Why isn't it? Dallas, Houston, Austin,
San Antonio, California, California should be blood red. Go look
at a congressional map in California. It's just red except
for San Diego, San Francisco. The big cities now, big
(27:07):
cities don't necessarily exist in Montana or Wyoming. But when
you get into a beautiful mountain city that is kind
of one of the central hubs, like Bozeman, like where
I grew up, Bozeman is completely left. Now if you
go into the city limits of Bozeman, you're gonna have
pride parades the same way you are in Manhattan. Same
(27:30):
thing happens in Austin, Texas. Same thing happens in Birmingham, Alabama.
Same thing happens every place is in Florida. You know,
we all love the freeze state of Florida. Gosh, but
we practically live there anymore now, bouncing back and forth.
Florida's got these little blue places. There are little blue
places in Montana and Wyoming. So don't just pick a
(27:51):
city and move there and think you're moving to Red America.
It's further to the right than Sacramento, but it's further
to the left than you think you're getting. But you
get outside of those places, the most wonderful, hospitable people.
I remember it growing up. I've never lived any place
(28:11):
like it in Montana. When it's a two lane road,
just you and the other lane, right, two lane road.
That's how we described it. People describe that differently. Every
single person who drove by waved at you, even if
it was just a finger off the steering wheel, not
the middle finger, Chris, and you wave back. It was
how you did things. You because it's remote, you help people.
You never drove by someone in a ditch or something.
(28:33):
You help other people. It's part of living there. And
it was wonderful there. Now I'll do Japan and back
to politics. Hang on, miss something. There's a podcast getting
on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Remember
you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Jesse consider reading the Metal of Honor for Commander Okaine,
US Navy. After the sinking of the USS Tang, he
and his crew were taken to Japanese pow camps, where
(29:10):
they remained until the war ended. After the war, Okaine
was awarded the Medal of Honor, while the Tang was
awarded four Battle Stars and two Presidential Unit Citations. The
Tang was ultimately credited with sinking thirty three ships totally
one hundred and sixteen thousand, four hundred and fifty four tons.
I'll get to that in a moment. I'm a submarine
(29:32):
submarine r VET and in twenty years older than you.
Love your show, and knowing someone younger is watching out
for the young vets gives me hopes. Stay on the
air as long as you can go Navy, he says.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Gosh, jeez, why are you ge No in all seriousness, Okay,
so tons, I just wanted to do a couple quick
things on this because because some of this stuff can
get confusing if you're not a history nerd. When you
hear were War two vets, war in the Pacific, Vets
in particular, although this took place in the Atlantic as well.
(30:07):
When you hear them describe the tones, the tones, what
about the tons, I want to explain what they're talking about.
Like the tang was credited over one hundred and sixteen
thousand tons. Those are goods that were heading to Japan
or from Japan as Japan was trying to supply their
(30:28):
other outposts in the Pacific. What we did to Japan
and World War two, it's very, very fascinating. It's essentially
a more modern version of an ancient siege if I
brought my army to your city and I laid siege
(30:48):
to your city, what's the idea behind a siege. I'm
hopefully going to take the city. I'm going to make
efforts to take the city. But whether I can take
the city soon or take the city later, your city
going to be getting weaker as I surrounded. Why I'm
starving you to death, I'm starving you. You're not allowed
(31:08):
to bring things in in mass, You're not allowed to
send things out. Trade stops. Your city under siege gets
cut off. We during World War Two did the most
ridiculously massive build up of the navy of any navy
in the history of mankind. There are guys, and there
(31:30):
were guys during World War Two who argued to this
day a pretty good argument that we overbuilt it, that
we under that we underserved other portions of the military
by going all in with the navy. We had more
ships than you can imagine. And what we did with
that was, I'm gonna set the Atlantic aside. What we
(31:51):
did with Germany, but not what we did with that
was we shut the waters in the Pacific down around Japan,
sinking ship after ship. I'm not just talking about their
navy ships. We were sinking merchant vessels in mass You
were not allowed to bring shipments of stuff into Japan.
(32:16):
The United States of America stopped it if it was
on the water and it wasn't our ship. It was
going down to the bottom of the Pacific. And remember,
as we talked about before, nineteen forty two was our
bad year really all around. That was our bad year
where they were still on the move. They were beating
us up pretty good. They beat us up in the
(32:37):
water pretty good. But after nineteen forty two, for the
Nazis and the Japanese that ended, they were they never
had the upper hand again. They were always losing ground
from that point. Post nineteen forty two, we just simply
filled up the waters of the Pacific with submarines, destroyers, cruisers, battleships,
(32:58):
aircraft carriers, all these different wonderful ships, and we just
sunk everything we saw. And he brought up Okaine. I
believe his name was Dick. I think it was Richard Okaine,
if I remember right. I didn't look this up for him,
and Chris looked that up. Commander of the Tang Commander Okaine.
I believe it was Dick Okaine, But Dick Okaine in
(33:20):
the tang and his in his crew to be on
a submarine in World War two, really anytime. As much
as I hate give giving credit to the Navy, I
really admire the service. It's it's a tough service. During
World War Two. I don't know if it's still this way.
It was purely volunteer, purely volunteer, and understandably so it
(33:41):
was insanely dangerous. Remember back then, if your submarine went
down under the water, you were it was Dick Okaine,
it was Richard Okain. Okay, I thought, so you were
so slow you were borderline not even moving. You wonder
how these submarines got blown up while they're under the water.
The planes fly over and they see them, and you
(34:03):
can't move. Destroyers on the surface looking for you will
run you down like nothing if you're under the water.
So you have to be on the surface if you
want to move at any speed. But the idea of
being on the surface, yeah, you need the speed, but
you have no armor. You're not a battleship with layers
of armor and aircraft carrier. It is paper thin on
(34:26):
a submarine, and submarines died by airplane all the time.
Airplanes would find them, stray them. You're finished. It was
insanely dangerous to be a submariner in World War II.
Or sub mariner, I know, everyone pronounces that differently. These
guys like Dick o'caine were alpha male hunters, though, when
(34:51):
you read their stories, and there were a lot of
these guys, mush Morton, there were a lot of great
submarine or captains. These guys all they wanted, give me
working torpedoes and send me out, and they would go
out into the deepest depths of enemy territory and they
would go try to shoot down everything Japanese they could find,
(35:12):
and a lot of them die because the Japanese knew
what was happening, and they knew how important it was
to stop the submarines from stopping their merchant shipping, so
they constantly had planes on patrol, ships on patrol trying
to find it. And these guys, they cruisy submarines right
into some big Japanese harbor and start sinking ships. Now
(35:34):
that feels good when the torpedoes are landing. It doesn't
feel quite as good when they're dropping depth charges on
top of your face. Crazy bravery from the United States
Navy and World War Two. As much fun as I
have mocking the other branches, really admire the serviceman. I've
(35:54):
told history stories about that before that. To be on
some big floating ship full of fuel and bombs and
bullets and all around you the steel is shrapnel if
something explodes. To be on a major ship exchanging gunfire
(36:15):
with another major ship, I couldn't do it. I don't
have the guts. I could never do it. It terrifies me.
All right, let's talk about the communist mindset. Let's go
back to some politics, shall we. Why why do they
find value in communism? We'll get to that in a moment.
Before we get to that, you know where you can
(36:35):
