Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The
Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent inauguration Monday, talking about celebration,
being hopeful Trump's inauguration, why and how the Democrats fall
out of favor so fast. We'll continue along those lines
this hour, get to some emails and some other things.
(00:37):
But you know what time it is. Inauguration, no, inauguration, holiday,
super Bowl, doesn't matter what it is. Every single Monday
at this time we do the exact same thing we do.
Medal of Honor Monday. You take a Medal of Honor
citation and you read it. That's all we do. You
(00:57):
celebrate a hero, remember their names or remember their deeds.
We hold them up in front of the next generation
as an example of what you should be. And I
want to emphasize to you how important that is. I
bring that up. I try to bring that up every
money before I read these things. But it's really, really,
really important to give the next generation something to aspire to.
(01:24):
It's not enough to just give constant warnings, don't do this,
don't do that, don't this, don't that, don't that give them.
It does not necessarily heroes. Doesn't have to be I
want to be that guy. I'm not saying that, but
somebody with qualities of some kind that you can say,
look there, that that's what you do. Then I told you.
(01:44):
I told you that the night I talked about those
two brave Navy seals who went into the water just recently.
One went into the water rough seas. It's just real ugly.
His buddy went in after him. They both die, And
I said, how do you how do I tell my sons?
(02:04):
How do I raise sons? Because I'm not that guy,
how do I raise sons to be that? Not that
I want my sons to dive in? Man, let me
raise men that go into the raging notion after a friend.
That's the kind of sun That's the kind of men
I want to raise. Well. I got a bunch of
emails after that, from various warrior types, from some seals,
(02:26):
from cops, and from various people who listen to the show,
some real studs who listen to this show, And what
a lot of them said was, well, just talking to
him about it can can make a big difference. It
goes in there. That's part of why we do this
and Remember we take email suggestions. You can send emails
love hate, death threats, ask doctor Jesse questions and medal
(02:47):
of honor citations. You can send those into Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. I don't know why I can't
talk Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Shut up, Chris,
mister Kelly, would you please give Marine Corporal Kyle Carpenter
a Medal of honor shout out? He will be recognized
at the National Championship Football game on Monday, the twentieth
(03:10):
of January, but your radio audience can also hear his
full story here he says, a link, so on and
so forth. That's right, My Buckeyes are in the National
Championship tonight. Woo. Anyway, without further ado, More importantly, let's
pay our respect to mister William Kyle Carpenter, United States
Marine Corps from Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life,
above and beyond the call of duty while serving as
an automatic rifleman with Company F, second Battalion, ninth Marines
Regimental Combat Team one Marine Division, first Marine Expeditionary Force
in Hellman Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
(04:08):
On the twenty first November twenty ten, Lance Corporal Carpenter
was a member of a platoon sized coalition force comprised
of two reinforced Marine squads partnered with an Afghan National
Army squad. The platoon had established Patrol Based Dakota two
days earlier in a small village in the Marjab District
(04:30):
in order to disrupt enemy activity and provide security for
the local Afghan population. Lance Corporal Carpenter and a fellow
Marine were manning a rooftop security position on the perimeter
of Patrol based Dakota when the enemy initiated a daylight
attack with hand grenades, one of which landed inside their
(04:51):
sandbag position. Without hesitation and with complete disregard for his
own safety, Lance Corporal Carpenter moved toward the grenade in
an attempt to shield his fellow Marine from the deadly blast.
When the grenade detonated, his body absorbed the brunt of
the blast, severely wounding him but saving the life of
(05:11):
his fellow Marine by his undtnted courage. Bold fighting spirit
and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of almost
certain death. Lance Corporal Carpenter reflected great credit upon himself
and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps in
the United States Naval Service. That's freaking awesome. How do
(05:36):
you raise men like that? What's your reaction if a
grenade lands right in front of you and a buddy
as you're sitting down, what's my reaction? I don't know.
I don't know. People try to kill me, shoot at me,
and yeah, I think that tried to blow me up,
(05:57):
But I never had a grenade land at my freaking feet.
I don't know what I would do with my buddies.
My buddy was right there. Maybe I'm the type of
guy to grab him and throw him on it. Hey,
give him a medal of honor, thanks, Bob. I don't know,
but I know I want my sons to be the
type like Kyle Carpenter. Pretty freaking cool, right, And we
(06:18):
don't have to play taps for the young man. And
that is very rare in those cases where somebody jumps
on a grenade or shields their body with a grenade,
because grenades when they're that close, tend to finish the
job freaking awesome, right, So they're medal of honor Monday. Now,
speaking of military things, speaking of why Trump is at
(06:40):
the quote peak of his power according to CNN, and
why the Democrat Party is at they're lowest low thirty
three percent approval nationally. Like I said before, Joe Biden
got elected president, but they carried him into the presidency
and he was unable to function as an adult. And
because he was unable to function as an adult, he
(07:02):
was unable to be the dad of the Democrat Party,
controlling the worst impulses of his party. So he signed
whatever executive orders they, the evil communists, handed him. He
did whatever he was told, most of the time, not
even knowing what's going on. That was very obvious to
everybody Trump talked today about the military. Look, even during
(07:26):
the most insane, insane public emotions when it came to COVID,
there was never any significant public support for kicking out
people in the military who didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Take This week, I will reinstate any service members who
were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the
COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain and I will
sign in order to stop our warriors from being subjected
to radical political theories and social experiment and swell on duty.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's going to end immediately. Why did that stuff happen
so badly? It's not just that Obama paid the way
for it, and he did. Obama paid the way for
a lot of this stuff. Fired virtually every general who
was quote disloyal or possibly disloyal to him, and filled
up the Flag Officer Corps with a bunch of committed
(08:21):
communists who would do what they had to. Yes, all
that stuff is true, But how did you go from
that to having multiple In fact, I believe it's every
branch Chris Corey correct me if I'm wrong, Almost every
branch of the military putting out rainbow advertisements. It was everyone.
I know. The Marines did it too, so I can't Well,
(08:42):
the Marines would no, no, no, no. I remember the Marine
putting up a helmet with the rainbow crayons in the thing.
How did you go from I want this general because
he's more loyal to me to hey, guys, congratulations, it's
drag night on the base. How did you go from
(09:02):
that to multiple Navy sailors? I've watched them with my
own eyes, putting out the gayest videos they can possibly
put out online for publication. I know what you're thinking,
that's every Navy video. No, these ones are more extreme
than even that. Hi, I'm Gavin on the USS Harvey Milk,
(09:28):
How did that happen? Once again, Joe Biden was not
with it enough to be dad, not with it enough
to say no. So there were no breaks and no
controls on what happened under his administration. We watched four
(09:51):
years of unhinged, unchecked Democrat power and it's nuts. And
we will tell you what. I'm gonna be turned to
the Biden portion of it. I want to talk to
about a couple of things Trump did today. Some are hilarious,
all of them are wonderful. Some of the things he did,
some of the things he said. We'll get to some
(10:12):
emails and then we'll come back to this, and this
is going to be important. What do we do now?
I'm not just talking about, Okay, we open up energy
and secure the border and stuff like that, as it
means as it is to the other side. How do
we deal with the other side? What do we do now?
(10:33):
We'll talk about that, but I want to get to
some of the stuff Trump said. First, I want to
tell you about a little thing I like to call
the Obliterator. I wish I could tell you I came
up with that name. I would like to tell you
if I started my own high quality blender, I would
name it the Obliterator. But that's probably not true. I'm
not smart enough to do so. Chefman is though, they
(10:56):
built one that is durable. That gosh. I can't stand
how blenders just break. I think we've broken like six
of them in the course of our marriage. This thing
is built like a tank and it looks good. You're
getting a premium blender. It won a red Dot Best
Concept Design Award. They sell this thing in Walmart. Is
(11:18):
how popular the obliterator is. It does everything. It gets
used two times a day in the Kelly household. I
think it's the only thing that could actually liquefy all
the freaking vegetables and that garbage smoothie ob makes every morning.
Do you want an obliterator? You should, It's what I use. C. H. E. F.
M An dot com. Chefman dot com, go get your obliterator.
(11:44):
We'll be back. The Jesse Chilly. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday and Inauguration Day.
Remember if you miss any part the show, you can
download the whole thing. Ihearts Spotify, iTunes. Jesse, you were
(12:06):
right all along, Jesse. The Communists were infusing the Biden
administration with communist ideas. So yeah, look, Joe Biden wasn't
strong enough to control the most radical elements of his party.
Let's we'll get back to that in a while. There
are a couple things that I very much enjoyed today.
Remember the fifty one former intelligence officials who signed that
letter claiming Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell was Russian disinformation. Yeah,
(12:33):
Trump's taking away all their security clearances. And let me
tell you why that's actually a big, big, big deal.
They explained a little bit about this security clearance is
one of those things that every dude can't speak for
the ladies here, but every dude loves it, don't we don't.
(12:54):
Don't you want top secret security clearance, you know, for
your eyes only stuff. Every dude loves the covert stuff,
the spy stuff. That's right, Chris feels like double O
seven or Chris, is there a Jewish double oh seven,
like something hammer or something like that. What I'm asking, Chris,
there's got to be you know what I'm watching this show, Chris,
that you would probably like it. It's called Fouda. You
(13:18):
ever heard of it? Found fau Da? Hold on, hold on, buddy,
before you look it up. I don't want to get
your hopes up here. I need to clarify. I had
heard the show was really good. I am like an
episode and a half into it so far it is
it's a bunch of Israeli commandos killing a bunch of terrorists.
I think it's come offs. I don't know if they've
(13:38):
said that. I wasn't really paying that much attention. The
dubbing and the subtitles leaves a lot to be desired.
So I'm just anyway, Chris, we're not getting on a
sidetrack back to when we were talking about top secret
security clearances. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off on
a sidetrack. Top secret things. We love them. We want
higher levels of security clearance. All dudes liked it, but
(13:59):
you should understand in DC, in Washington, d C. Higher
levels of security clearance oftentimes just mean higher levels of money.
That's what they mean higher levels of money. And you think,
or maybe you don't think this, but here's what I
(14:21):
would have thought if you'd asked me ten years ago,
before I knew any better. Well, yeah, if you are
the head of the CIA, if you get to be
director of the CIA, yes you're going to have the
most top secret security clearance there is. You know, all
about the aliens and everything else. But when you leave,
(14:43):
they take that away, right, you still aren't allowed to
have access to the highest levels of secrecy because you're
not CIA director anymore. So Chris is even asking that
doesn't happen. No, it doesn't happen. These guys keep their
security clearance levels most of the time. And look, this
(15:05):
is not universal for everybody, but especially if you're a
system servant. If you're some four star general CIA, then
you've proven to be a loyal friend of the system.
They don't come and take your security clearance out of
your wallet as you leave, and so you don't leave
(15:26):
and go right to the unemployment line. You leave and
walk right into how many different lobbying firms, private security
for firms, foreign governments. How many different people will pay
somebody who has top secret security clearance? How many different
(15:48):
entities around the globe, not just around America, will pay
you for the fact you still have access to high
levels of secret information. The answer is a lot, a
lot of them. Well fifty one former intelligence officials. They
(16:10):
signed on to a letter allegedly created by Anthony Blincoln,
John Brennan, James Clapper, Leon Panetta, those types all signed
on to this letter, a letter stating that Hunter Biden's
laptop was Russian disinformation. Except it wasn't, and that wasn't
(16:32):
a misleading statement. They didn't shade the truth a little bit.
They lied outright, and they used in part their credentials
of having top secret security clearance to give a lot
of credence to that letter. It put a lot of
(16:53):
rear end behind that letter. For lack of a better
way to put it, wow, I mean because think about it.
I know you already know, but really genuinely think about
the norms and normas in your life. Your neighbor. Look, actually,
I don't have to think about it. I have a neighbor.
I'm thinking about him. His name starts with a D.
I'm not going to call him out right here. He's
a Republican, he votes Republican. He's very much a norm though,
(17:18):
and not going to be listening to the show. I
remember when that letter came out and I was out back.
We were all at a different neighbor's house. We were
all out back, we were all playing corn hole, couple beers,
just relaxing on a Friday Saturday night, and I started
griping about that letter and how crooked it was with
a couple buddies, and I remember, like it was yesterday.
(17:41):
My neighbor D we'll call him, said, Jesse, you really
think fifty one CIA directors with top secret clearance would
lie on a letter by like that. For the norms
and normas, it's very very effective to do things like that,
and it was effective. In part it launched Joe Biden
(18:04):
into the White House. Donald Trump took away their security
clearance today. Gosh, that's freaking hysterical, but that probably pales
in comparison to the saltiness of what he did to
Mark Milly. We'll talk about Milly and the Biden preemptive
pardons next. Jesse Kelly, It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(18:30):
on a Monday, a wonderful Monday. Reminding you you can
email the show. Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We
have wonderful, loving emails like this when you gotta stay
on for the whole thing. Lifelong Republican here, as a
fellow who was raised in Wyoming, I found your discussion
about how cold it gets in Montana and Wyoming spot on.
(18:53):
People are amazed. Our closest sports opponent was forty nine
miles away and the next was ninety nine miles. That's
what it was like, Chris. We always dressed and planned,
as you said, as if we'd have to walk home
or camp out overnight in the car. This is the
best part, though, though I listened to you maybe once
or twice a month and find most of what you
say borish and or insufferable. Tonight you were correct about
(19:17):
the subject of cold weather. Well. Look, it's always nice
to meet a new fan, Chris. I love you too, buddy.
All right, Joe Biden did something totally unsurprising today, and
I'm enjoying a lot of it. To be honest, It's
making other people angry, and I understand why, but I'm
(19:39):
enjoying a lot of it. I'm talking about the Pardons today.
Joe Biden pardoned Fauci Liz Chaining. He also and this
was planned. I should note he came out and he
pardoned his own family members, multiple family members with backdated pardons,
(20:00):
and he did this fifteen minutes before the inauguration. Fauci
and Liz Cheney and those types. He announced those first
thing this morning, so Trump would have time to look
at those and digest those and prepare. But he waited
to pardon his own family members fifteen minutes before he
(20:21):
was no longer president. He's on his way out the door.
The boxes have been packed, everything's done. He leans down
and signs to get out a jail free card for
his family. And people are angry about it, and people
are pointing out the Biden hypocrisy. I'm about to tell
you what you should feel good. I know everyone's pointing this,
(20:43):
ut it's this is Biden from twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well, it concerns me in terms of what kind of
precedence sets and how the rest of the world looks
at us as a nation of laws and injustice, not
going to see an our administration that kind of approach
to pardons.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And everyone's saying, ah, what a liar, what a hypocrite. Okay,
Chuck Schumer back then was talking about the same thing. Well,
I can't do what an abuse a presidential authorities.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And it's reportedly asking his staff whether he can issue
preemptive pardons for himself his family members Rudy Giuliani. There's
a simple answer, No, no, mister president, that would be
a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
'mlet me tell you why I'm happy about these pardons.
I'm thrilled. Actually. One, I understand your anger because you
want doctor Fauci in prison, So to why you want
Liz Cheney in prison? So do why if Biden or
his family members who are actually mostly Biden's but if
the Biden family have used their position to commit crimes,
(21:59):
you want them in prison, So do why. I agree
with you. Yeah, totally agree with those things. But I
know two things. One that wasn't going to happen. Look,
just because we're seeing a newer, sterner Republican party doesn't
mean we have yet the kind of Republican party that
(22:21):
has the teeth to actually put Democrats in jail. We
don't have that yet. Okay, that's one I come at
this from the approach of I never thought Fauci was
going to prison anyway. So because I come at it
from that approach, why am I happy about it? Well,
I'm happy about it because, just like we talked about earlier,
(22:45):
the Emperor has no clothes now and everyone knows it.
Everybody knows it. Even your liberal aunt Peggy can't offer
more than a half hearted well he kind of had
to because Trump was gonna prosecute. Even she can't offer
anything more than a half hearted defense of preemptively pardoning
(23:10):
all the family members who were involved in your criminal enterprise.
There's no there's no shining up that turd. You're evil.
These people are all evil criminals, and they've stopped hiding it.
And there's a huge benefit in that. There is a
(23:32):
huge benefit in that, and that is happening in part
still because of the Biden family being on the outs
with the Democrat Party. For walk with me, walk with
me here. Even if you're a sitting president who was
who remains popular in your own party, and you were
(23:56):
a powerful sitting president, you have mints on what you
can do on your way out the door. That's why
you've always kept yourself in check. We'll make it about Obama, Okay, Obama,
even if you go look at just pardons, things like
pardons and executive orders on the way out of the door.
(24:18):
Now you think, you know, I think Obama's the most
evil president we've ever had, and I do, But why
didn't he give out near as many pardons? Why didn't
Why didn't Barack Obama do these crazy over the top
executive orders? And I know we did a bunch of
them in the beginning and he did some, But why
didn't he do a bunch of them at the end
(24:39):
to really just kind of screw over the whole country. Hey,
by the way, you can't drive for oil now and
you never will haha. Up here as I'm retiring. Why
didn't he do that? Because Barack Obama wanted to remain
in good standing with the Democrat party. George Bush, we'll
(24:59):
make it about public. We talked enough about Democrats tonight.
George Bush, at the end of his eight years, why
not do that? George Bush had political allies in prison?
Why not turn them loose? These are people already in prison.
Why not turn all of them? Why not do that? Well,
in part you are still kept in check because you
(25:23):
want to remain in good standing with your party. There
are a lot of benefits to remaining in good standing
with the national party. We're talking a brighter, shinier presidential
library here, We're talking about lucrative, multi million dollars speaking
engagement fees. Look, it is a very very very profitable
(25:48):
thing to remain in good standing with your own party.
The Obamas signed a four hundred million dollar deal with Netflix.
Why still in good standing? So why did Joe Biden
go crazy on the way out? Well, two reasons. One
of the reasons is the one we talked about earlier.
(26:10):
He's not with it enough to keep the animals in
his party in check. But the second reason is the Bidens.
They don't care about remaining in good standing with the
Democrat Party. They're still at war with the Democrat Party.
Nancy Pelosi, her spokeswoman, spokesman, I can't get it. I
(26:35):
can't believe I actually said. Spokeswoman came out in a
public paper and called in Politico and called Jill Biden,
lady Mickbiden. That's somebody whose last name is Pelosi, Lady
Mick Biden. Jill Biden has recently did Nancy Pelosi publicly
(27:02):
Remember we talked about it a little bit last year.
Or last year. Last week, Jill Biden came out and said,
I can't believe she knife my husband. We've been friends
for like fifty years. The Bidens did so much damage
and took the clothes off of the Emperor on the
way out the door because the Democrat Party knifed him
(27:24):
out the White House, and he no longer cares if
he remains in good standing with the Democrat Party. Joe Biden,
we all know he's probably not gonna be alive by
the time they put the finishing touches on that Presidential museum.
He's going to get what does he give a crap about?
Isn't that amazing to sit and think about? All right,
(27:45):
I'm gonna switch gears here, babe, do a couple emails
real quick. But I do want to get to I
want to get to how we act now? What do
we do now? Meaning how do we treat the other side?
What's our best way to go forward? Because unity is
the theme of the day. Right before we get to that,
(28:06):
I want you to unify with your burn a pistol launcher,
meaning I want you to practice with it. If you will.
You see burna it's a less lethal launcher that's why
it's legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit,
you don't need a background check. It doesn't shoot bullets,
It shoots pepper balls or tear gas balls or kinetic rounds.
(28:27):
It hits, it explodes, it'll stop a bad guy in
his tracks for a long time. You will live and
you won't have to go to court, and you won't
have to go to jail. And you get a burn
a pistol launcher, it'll save your life. And it's legal.
But they'll send you practice rounds. Practice with your burna.
(28:48):
You might just find yourself enjoying it and you'll be
a lot sharper with it. And in honor of Inauguration Week,
they have a custom bundle discount at fifteen percent off MSRP.
You want to get a deal, today's the time for
a deal. It's an honor of Inauguration Week. You go
(29:08):
to byrna dot com slash Jesse bernad dot com slash
jesse Go, get a special bundle and practice. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
True.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, a
wonderful Monday. Of course, it was a Medal of Honor Monday,
We've got a good time talking inauguration stuff. You can
find all that on iHeart, Spotify, and iTunes if you
miss any part of the show, or you can email
the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yeah, why
(29:46):
did Ronald Reagan give out four hundred and six pardons?
HW seventy seven, Bill Clinton four fifty nine, George W
two hundred, Barack Obama nineteen hundred, Trump two hundred, and
Joe Biden eight thousand. Well, two reasons. As I said, Originally,
he was unable and unwilling to put brakes on the
(30:07):
communists who control his administration. That's one and two. You
hand out pardons to everyone and their brother, including your
family members, when you don't care about the reputation of
the Democrat Party. And that was always the danger the
system faced when it came to Joe Biden. The system,
(30:29):
as I warned you, they were going to do it
a couple of years before they did it. The system,
the system wanted Joe Biden gone because they didn't think
he could win again, and they decided to make him gone.
But he was still there after you shoved him out
of power and the president can still do a lot
of damage. Whatever, let's do some emails before we get
(30:51):
back to politics. Jesse, thank you for remembering the Tang
and its skipper. Also notable was the USS Wahoo and
its commander Mush Morton. His name is Dudley Morton, although
Mush there's what everyone calls him. None were awarded the
Medal of Honor. The crew was legendary for aggressively sinking
(31:11):
Japanese shipping. It was Mush who achieved the first down
the throat shot of a destroyer charging the Wahoo with
murderous intents, sinking the destroyer. The Waho by itself wiped
out an entire convoy. The wa who was the first
submarine marine to enter enemy harbor and sink a ship
(31:32):
in the harbor. Yeah, those Navy guys in World War Two.
Down the throat shot Chris uh Okay, So I touched
on this a little bit. I'm not gonna spend a
long time on it. But remember when you think of submarines,
it's very tempting to think about submarines today, which are
super fast up on the surface and down below. You
(31:54):
just go wherever you want to go. Back then, in
World War two, when you were on the surface as
a submarine, Remember, you have virtually no armor. They're not armored,
they're not made to be armored. When you were on
the surface, you can move okay, because you still have
an engine, a motor. You're running on fuel. Okay. But
(32:16):
back then when you went down, just because they weren't
as advanced technologically, for obvious reasons, you only moved electrically.
You went from being motor powered, fuel powered to electric powered.
You were extremely slow, extremely slow. And as I tried
(32:38):
to point out last week, have you ever seen that's
a good example of that. Here's a good example. Have
you ever seen on the news or on social media
and above the waters shot from a helicopter of a
shark swimming in the ocean. Ever watched the Nature show?
Maybe a shark close to the beach. It's insane how
(33:02):
visible they are, isn't it. They're not hiding at all.
If it's daylight, you have that hell, you can point
out each and everyone. Look, there's that one, there, that one.
They're not hidden at all. Well, those sharks are oftentimes
pretty deep in the water. I realized this sounds like
an obvious point, but water is very very very clear,
and when you're looking down you can see it easily.
(33:26):
So when you were a submarine in World War Two,
you had no armor. Your only protection was beneath the water.
But even beneath the water, you still are unarmored, and
you can be seen quite easily, depending on how deep
you can go, and you can't move. What's a down
(33:49):
the throat shot for a destroyer If you are an
American submarine, well, really any submarine. But if you are
a submarine, a World War two level submarine, you understand
that destroyers are there to kill you. Destroyers are in
large part there to hunt and kill submarines. That destroyer
is equipped with all the depth charges and everything it
(34:11):
needs to take you out as a submarine. And if
that destroyer has seen you, if he has laid eyes
on you, that alone might be a death sentence because
he's going to catch you. You can't try to outrun him.
He's going to shoot his surface guns at you if
you remain on the surface. And if he pops you
(34:33):
even once, guess what, You're not anymore waterproof, so you
can't go down below. He doesn't even have to sink you.
He pops you you're not waterproof. You're finished. Now you
try to go down. He knows where you went down,
and he knows you can hardly move after you went down.
He's going to cruise that area hunting for you, looking
for you, and he's going to depth charge you to
(34:56):
the bottom of the water. So what is a down
the throat shot destroyer gets its eyes on Mush Morton
and his crew. Mush decides, well, I guess we're just
gonna slug it out, and he just points that bad
boy at him and fires torpedoes at him and nails
(35:17):
him head on. You don't normally try for that shot.
You try for side shots because that's where all the
surface area is. He nailed him head on and sunk him.
These guys were a different breed man. And in case
you are wondering what happened to Mush Morton and his crew,
I don't know. It's really one of those sad things.
(35:39):
Nobody knows they're dead. We know that the wah who
and this happened in World War Two. That's why there
are so many MIAs. It's why oftentimes it's not a
body buried. You send a crew out who's not necessarily
in radio contact at all times or whatnot, and sometimes
they just don't come back. There are rumors about this
(36:02):
or that. The most popular theory is there are Japanese
accounts of finding a disabled submarine on the surface and
air power flying in and taking them out, and they
think that was where the wah who was at the time.
They're all gone, right, they died, they died for their bravery,
(36:24):
but freaking awesome. Right, Let's talk about looting the treasury
and how we should handle the other side. Before we
talk about that, let's talk about something wonderful, caring for
the families of those who didn't come home. First responder families,
gold star families. How can we do that? Look, the
(36:48):
pain of losing somebody never ever, ever goes away, but
we can help. We can maybe pay off a home
for them so that widow and her kids don't have
that financial burden. That's what Tunnel to Towers does. They
build communities for these families, They pay off the mortgages
for these families. In your darkest hour, Tunnel to Towers
(37:12):
comes along, just help. And that's where your eleven dollars
a month goes. And more than ninety five cents of
every dollar goes right to its programs. That's unheard of
in the charity world. You want to help these widows
and orphans, go to tthanumber two, t dot org, T
twot dot org. We still have an hour. Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The
Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent inauguration Monday, talking about celebration,
being hopeful Trump's inauguration, why and how the Democrats fall
out of favor so fast. We'll continue along those lines
this hour, get to some emails and some other things.
(00:37):
But you know what time it is. Inauguration, no, inauguration, holiday,
super Bowl, doesn't matter what it is. Every single Monday
at this time we do the exact same thing we do.
Medal of Honor Monday. You take a Medal of Honor
citation and you read it. That's all we do. You
(00:57):
celebrate a hero, remember their names or remember their deeds.
We hold them up in front of the next generation
as an example of what you should be. And I
want to emphasize to you how important that is. I
bring that up. I try to bring that up every
money before I read these things. But it's really, really,
really important to give the next generation something to aspire to.
(01:24):
It's not enough to just give constant warnings, don't do this,
don't do that, don't this, don't that, don't that give them.
It does not necessarily heroes. Doesn't have to be I
want to be that guy. I'm not saying that, but
somebody with qualities of some kind that you can say,
look there, that that's what you do. Then I told you.
(01:44):
I told you that the night I talked about those
two brave Navy seals who went into the water just recently.
One went into the water rough seas. It's just real ugly.
His buddy went in after him. They both die, And
I said, how do you how do I tell my sons?
(02:04):
How do I raise sons? Because I'm not that guy,
how do I raise sons to be that? Not that
I want my sons to dive in? Man, let me
raise men that go into the raging notion after a friend.
That's the kind of sun That's the kind of men
I want to raise. Well. I got a bunch of
emails after that, from various warrior types, from some seals,
(02:26):
from cops, and from various people who listen to the show,
some real studs who listen to this show, And what
a lot of them said was, well, just talking to
him about it can can make a big difference. It
goes in there. That's part of why we do this
and Remember we take email suggestions. You can send emails
love hate, death threats, ask doctor Jesse questions and medal
(02:47):
of honor citations. You can send those into Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. I don't know why I can't
talk Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Shut up, Chris,
mister Kelly, would you please give Marine Corporal Kyle Carpenter
a Medal of honor shout out? He will be recognized
at the National Championship Football game on Monday, the twentieth
(03:10):
of January, but your radio audience can also hear his
full story here he says, a link, so on and
so forth. That's right, My Buckeyes are in the National
Championship tonight. Woo. Anyway, without further ado, More importantly, let's
pay our respect to mister William Kyle Carpenter, United States
Marine Corps from Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life,
above and beyond the call of duty while serving as
an automatic rifleman with Company F, second Battalion, ninth Marines
Regimental Combat Team one Marine Division, first Marine Expeditionary Force
in Hellman Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
(04:08):
On the twenty first November twenty ten, Lance Corporal Carpenter
was a member of a platoon sized coalition force comprised
of two reinforced Marine squads partnered with an Afghan National
Army squad. The platoon had established Patrol Based Dakota two
days earlier in a small village in the Marjab District
(04:30):
in order to disrupt enemy activity and provide security for
the local Afghan population. Lance Corporal Carpenter and a fellow
Marine were manning a rooftop security position on the perimeter
of Patrol based Dakota when the enemy initiated a daylight
attack with hand grenades, one of which landed inside their
(04:51):
sandbag position. Without hesitation and with complete disregard for his
own safety, Lance Corporal Carpenter moved toward the grenade in
an attempt to shield his fellow Marine from the deadly blast.
When the grenade detonated, his body absorbed the brunt of
the blast, severely wounding him but saving the life of
(05:11):
his fellow Marine by his undtnted courage. Bold fighting spirit
and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of almost
certain death. Lance Corporal Carpenter reflected great credit upon himself
and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps in
the United States Naval Service. That's freaking awesome. How do
(05:36):
you raise men like that? What's your reaction if a
grenade lands right in front of you and a buddy
as you're sitting down, what's my reaction? I don't know.
I don't know. People try to kill me, shoot at me,
and yeah, I think that tried to blow me up,
(05:57):
But I never had a grenade land at my freaking feet.
I don't know what I would do with my buddies.
My buddy was right there. Maybe I'm the type of
guy to grab him and throw him on it. Hey,
give him a medal of honor, thanks, Bob. I don't know,
but I know I want my sons to be the
type like Kyle Carpenter. Pretty freaking cool, right, And we
(06:18):
don't have to play taps for the young man. And
that is very rare in those cases where somebody jumps
on a grenade or shields their body with a grenade,
because grenades when they're that close, tend to finish the
job freaking awesome, right, So they're medal of honor Monday. Now,
speaking of military things, speaking of why Trump is at
(06:40):
the quote peak of his power according to CNN, and
why the Democrat Party is at they're lowest low thirty
three percent approval nationally. Like I said before, Joe Biden
got elected president, but they carried him into the presidency
and he was unable to function as an adult. And
because he was unable to function as an adult, he
(07:02):
was unable to be the dad of the Democrat Party,
controlling the worst impulses of his party. So he signed
whatever executive orders they, the evil communists, handed him. He
did whatever he was told, most of the time, not
even knowing what's going on. That was very obvious to
everybody Trump talked today about the military. Look, even during
(07:26):
the most insane, insane public emotions when it came to COVID,
there was never any significant public support for kicking out
people in the military who didn't want to.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Take This week, I will reinstate any service members who
were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the
COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain and I will
sign in order to stop our warriors from being subjected
to radical political theories and social experiment and swell on duty.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It's going to end immediately. Why did that stuff happen
so badly? It's not just that Obama paid the way
for it, and he did. Obama paid the way for
a lot of this stuff. Fired virtually every general who
was quote disloyal or possibly disloyal to him, and filled
up the Flag Officer Corps with a bunch of committed
(08:21):
communists who would do what they had to. Yes, all
that stuff is true, But how did you go from
that to having multiple In fact, I believe it's every
branch Chris Corey correct me if I'm wrong, Almost every
branch of the military putting out rainbow advertisements. It was everyone.
I know. The Marines did it too, so I can't Well,
(08:42):
the Marines would no, no, no, no. I remember the Marine
putting up a helmet with the rainbow crayons in the thing.
How did you go from I want this general because
he's more loyal to me to hey, guys, congratulations, it's
drag night on the base. How did you go from
(09:02):
that to multiple Navy sailors? I've watched them with my
own eyes, putting out the gayest videos they can possibly
put out online for publication. I know what you're thinking,
that's every Navy video. No, these ones are more extreme
than even that. Hi, I'm Gavin on the USS Harvey Milk,
(09:28):
How did that happen? Once again, Joe Biden was not
with it enough to be dad, not with it enough
to say no. So there were no breaks and no
controls on what happened under his administration. We watched four
(09:51):
years of unhinged, unchecked Democrat power and it's nuts. And
we will tell you what. I'm gonna be turned to
the Biden portion of it. I want to talk to
about a couple of things Trump did today. Some are hilarious,
all of them are wonderful. Some of the things he did,
some of the things he said. We'll get to some
(10:12):
emails and then we'll come back to this, and this
is going to be important. What do we do now?
I'm not just talking about, Okay, we open up energy
and secure the border and stuff like that, as it
means as it is to the other side. How do
we deal with the other side? What do we do now?
(10:33):
We'll talk about that, but I want to get to
some of the stuff Trump said. First, I want to
tell you about a little thing I like to call
the Obliterator. I wish I could tell you I came
up with that name. I would like to tell you
if I started my own high quality blender, I would
name it the Obliterator. But that's probably not true. I'm
not smart enough to do so. Chefman is though, they
(10:56):
built one that is durable. That gosh. I can't stand
how blenders just break. I think we've broken like six
of them in the course of our marriage. This thing
is built like a tank and it looks good. You're
getting a premium blender. It won a red Dot Best
Concept Design Award. They sell this thing in Walmart. Is
(11:18):
how popular the obliterator is. It does everything. It gets
used two times a day in the Kelly household. I
think it's the only thing that could actually liquefy all
the freaking vegetables and that garbage smoothie ob makes every morning.
Do you want an obliterator? You should, It's what I use. C. H. E. F.
M An dot com. Chefman dot com, go get your obliterator.
(11:44):
We'll be back. The Jesse Chilly. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday and Inauguration Day.
Remember if you miss any part the show, you can
download the whole thing. Ihearts Spotify, iTunes. Jesse, you were
(12:06):
right all along, Jesse. The Communists were infusing the Biden
administration with communist ideas. So yeah, look, Joe Biden wasn't
strong enough to control the most radical elements of his party.
Let's we'll get back to that in a while. There
are a couple things that I very much enjoyed today.
Remember the fifty one former intelligence officials who signed that
letter claiming Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell was Russian disinformation. Yeah,
(12:33):
Trump's taking away all their security clearances. And let me
tell you why that's actually a big, big, big deal.
They explained a little bit about this security clearance is
one of those things that every dude can't speak for
the ladies here, but every dude loves it, don't we don't.
(12:54):
Don't you want top secret security clearance, you know, for
your eyes only stuff. Every dude loves the covert stuff,
the spy stuff. That's right, Chris feels like double O
seven or Chris, is there a Jewish double oh seven,
like something hammer or something like that. What I'm asking, Chris,
there's got to be you know what I'm watching this show, Chris,
that you would probably like it. It's called Fouda. You
(13:18):
ever heard of it? Found fau Da? Hold on, hold on, buddy,
before you look it up. I don't want to get
your hopes up here. I need to clarify. I had
heard the show was really good. I am like an
episode and a half into it so far it is
it's a bunch of Israeli commandos killing a bunch of terrorists.
I think it's come offs. I don't know if they've
(13:38):
said that. I wasn't really paying that much attention. The
dubbing and the subtitles leaves a lot to be desired.
So I'm just anyway, Chris, we're not getting on a
sidetrack back to when we were talking about top secret
security clearances. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off on
a sidetrack. Top secret things. We love them. We want
higher levels of security clearance. All dudes liked it, but
(13:59):
you should understand in DC, in Washington, d C. Higher
levels of security clearance oftentimes just mean higher levels of money.
That's what they mean higher levels of money. And you think,
or maybe you don't think this, but here's what I
(14:21):
would have thought if you'd asked me ten years ago,
before I knew any better. Well, yeah, if you are
the head of the CIA, if you get to be
director of the CIA, yes you're going to have the
most top secret security clearance there is. You know, all
about the aliens and everything else. But when you leave,
(14:43):
they take that away, right, you still aren't allowed to
have access to the highest levels of secrecy because you're
not CIA director anymore. So Chris is even asking that
doesn't happen. No, it doesn't happen. These guys keep their
security clearance levels most of the time. And look, this
(15:05):
is not universal for everybody, but especially if you're a
system servant. If you're some four star general CIA, then
you've proven to be a loyal friend of the system.
They don't come and take your security clearance out of
your wallet as you leave, and so you don't leave
(15:26):
and go right to the unemployment line. You leave and
walk right into how many different lobbying firms, private security
for firms, foreign governments. How many different people will pay
somebody who has top secret security clearance? How many different
(15:48):
entities around the globe, not just around America, will pay
you for the fact you still have access to high
levels of secret information. The answer is a lot, a
lot of them. Well fifty one former intelligence officials. They
(16:10):
signed on to a letter allegedly created by Anthony Blincoln,
John Brennan, James Clapper, Leon Panetta, those types all signed
on to this letter, a letter stating that Hunter Biden's
laptop was Russian disinformation. Except it wasn't, and that wasn't
(16:32):
a misleading statement. They didn't shade the truth a little bit.
They lied outright, and they used in part their credentials
of having top secret security clearance to give a lot
of credence to that letter. It put a lot of
(16:53):
rear end behind that letter. For lack of a better
way to put it, wow, I mean because think about it.
I know you already know, but really genuinely think about
the norms and normas in your life. Your neighbor. Look, actually,
I don't have to think about it. I have a neighbor.
I'm thinking about him. His name starts with a D.
I'm not going to call him out right here. He's
a Republican, he votes Republican. He's very much a norm though,
(17:18):
and not going to be listening to the show. I
remember when that letter came out and I was out back.
We were all at a different neighbor's house. We were
all out back, we were all playing corn hole, couple beers,
just relaxing on a Friday Saturday night, and I started
griping about that letter and how crooked it was with
a couple buddies, and I remember, like it was yesterday.
(17:41):
My neighbor D we'll call him, said, Jesse, you really
think fifty one CIA directors with top secret clearance would
lie on a letter by like that. For the norms
and normas, it's very very effective to do things like that,
and it was effective. In part it launched Joe Biden
(18:04):
into the White House. Donald Trump took away their security
clearance today. Gosh, that's freaking hysterical, but that probably pales
in comparison to the saltiness of what he did to
Mark Milly. We'll talk about Milly and the Biden preemptive
pardons next. Jesse Kelly, It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(18:30):
on a Monday, a wonderful Monday. Reminding you you can
email the show. Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We
have wonderful, loving emails like this when you gotta stay
on for the whole thing. Lifelong Republican here, as a
fellow who was raised in Wyoming, I found your discussion
about how cold it gets in Montana and Wyoming spot on.
(18:53):
People are amazed. Our closest sports opponent was forty nine
miles away and the next was ninety nine miles. That's
what it was like, Chris. We always dressed and planned,
as you said, as if we'd have to walk home
or camp out overnight in the car. This is the
best part, though, though I listened to you maybe once
or twice a month and find most of what you
say borish and or insufferable. Tonight you were correct about
(19:17):
the subject of cold weather. Well. Look, it's always nice
to meet a new fan, Chris. I love you too, buddy.
All right, Joe Biden did something totally unsurprising today, and
I'm enjoying a lot of it. To be honest, It's
making other people angry, and I understand why, but I'm
(19:39):
enjoying a lot of it. I'm talking about the Pardons today.
Joe Biden pardoned Fauci Liz Chaining. He also and this
was planned. I should note he came out and he
pardoned his own family members, multiple family members with backdated pardons,
(20:00):
and he did this fifteen minutes before the inauguration. Fauci
and Liz Cheney and those types. He announced those first
thing this morning, so Trump would have time to look
at those and digest those and prepare. But he waited
to pardon his own family members fifteen minutes before he
(20:21):
was no longer president. He's on his way out the door.
The boxes have been packed, everything's done. He leans down
and signs to get out a jail free card for
his family. And people are angry about it, and people
are pointing out the Biden hypocrisy. I'm about to tell
you what you should feel good. I know everyone's pointing this,
(20:43):
ut it's this is Biden from twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well, it concerns me in terms of what kind of
precedence sets and how the rest of the world looks
at us as a nation of laws and injustice, not
going to see an our administration that kind of approach
to pardons.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And everyone's saying, ah, what a liar, what a hypocrite. Okay,
Chuck Schumer back then was talking about the same thing. Well,
I can't do what an abuse a presidential authorities.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
And it's reportedly asking his staff whether he can issue
preemptive pardons for himself his family members Rudy Giuliani. There's
a simple answer, No, no, mister president, that would be
a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
'mlet me tell you why I'm happy about these pardons.
I'm thrilled. Actually. One, I understand your anger because you
want doctor Fauci in prison, So to why you want
Liz Cheney in prison? So do why if Biden or
his family members who are actually mostly Biden's but if
the Biden family have used their position to commit crimes,
(21:59):
you want them in prison, So do why. I agree
with you. Yeah, totally agree with those things. But I
know two things. One that wasn't going to happen. Look,
just because we're seeing a newer, sterner Republican party doesn't
mean we have yet the kind of Republican party that
(22:21):
has the teeth to actually put Democrats in jail. We
don't have that yet. Okay, that's one I come at
this from the approach of I never thought Fauci was
going to prison anyway. So because I come at it
from that approach, why am I happy about it? Well,
I'm happy about it because, just like we talked about earlier,
(22:45):
the Emperor has no clothes now and everyone knows it.
Everybody knows it. Even your liberal aunt Peggy can't offer
more than a half hearted well he kind of had
to because Trump was gonna prosecute. Even she can't offer
anything more than a half hearted defense of preemptively pardoning
(23:10):
all the family members who were involved in your criminal enterprise.
There's no there's no shining up that turd. You're evil.
These people are all evil criminals, and they've stopped hiding it.
And there's a huge benefit in that. There is a
(23:32):
huge benefit in that, and that is happening in part
still because of the Biden family being on the outs
with the Democrat Party. For walk with me, walk with
me here. Even if you're a sitting president who was
who remains popular in your own party, and you were
(23:56):
a powerful sitting president, you have mints on what you
can do on your way out the door. That's why
you've always kept yourself in check. We'll make it about Obama, Okay, Obama,
even if you go look at just pardons, things like
pardons and executive orders on the way out of the door.
(24:18):
Now you think, you know, I think Obama's the most
evil president we've ever had, and I do, But why
didn't he give out near as many pardons? Why didn't
Why didn't Barack Obama do these crazy over the top
executive orders? And I know we did a bunch of
them in the beginning and he did some, But why
didn't he do a bunch of them at the end
(24:39):
to really just kind of screw over the whole country. Hey,
by the way, you can't drive for oil now and
you never will haha. Up here as I'm retiring. Why
didn't he do that? Because Barack Obama wanted to remain
in good standing with the Democrat party. George Bush, we'll
(24:59):
make it about public. We talked enough about Democrats tonight.
George Bush, at the end of his eight years, why
not do that? George Bush had political allies in prison?
Why not turn them loose? These are people already in prison.
Why not turn all of them? Why not do that? Well,
in part you are still kept in check because you
(25:23):
want to remain in good standing with your party. There
are a lot of benefits to remaining in good standing
with the national party. We're talking a brighter, shinier presidential
library here, We're talking about lucrative, multi million dollars speaking
engagement fees. Look, it is a very very very profitable
(25:48):
thing to remain in good standing with your own party.
The Obamas signed a four hundred million dollar deal with Netflix.
Why still in good standing? So why did Joe Biden
go crazy on the way out? Well, two reasons. One
of the reasons is the one we talked about earlier.
(26:10):
He's not with it enough to keep the animals in
his party in check. But the second reason is the Bidens.
They don't care about remaining in good standing with the
Democrat Party. They're still at war with the Democrat Party.
Nancy Pelosi, her spokeswoman, spokesman, I can't get it. I
(26:35):
can't believe I actually said. Spokeswoman came out in a
public paper and called in Politico and called Jill Biden,
lady Mickbiden. That's somebody whose last name is Pelosi, Lady
Mick Biden. Jill Biden has recently did Nancy Pelosi publicly
(27:02):
Remember we talked about it a little bit last year.
Or last year. Last week, Jill Biden came out and said,
I can't believe she knife my husband. We've been friends
for like fifty years. The Bidens did so much damage
and took the clothes off of the Emperor on the
way out the door because the Democrat Party knifed him
(27:24):
out the White House, and he no longer cares if
he remains in good standing with the Democrat Party. Joe Biden,
we all know he's probably not gonna be alive by
the time they put the finishing touches on that Presidential museum.
He's going to get what does he give a crap about?
Isn't that amazing to sit and think about? All right,
(27:45):
I'm gonna switch gears here, babe, do a couple emails
real quick. But I do want to get to I
want to get to how we act now? What do
we do now? Meaning how do we treat the other side?
What's our best way to go forward? Because unity is
the theme of the day. Right before we get to that,
(28:06):
I want you to unify with your burn a pistol launcher,
meaning I want you to practice with it. If you will.
You see burna it's a less lethal launcher that's why
it's legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit,
you don't need a background check. It doesn't shoot bullets,
It shoots pepper balls or tear gas balls or kinetic rounds.
(28:27):
It hits, it explodes, it'll stop a bad guy in
his tracks for a long time. You will live and
you won't have to go to court, and you won't
have to go to jail. And you get a burn
a pistol launcher, it'll save your life. And it's legal.
But they'll send you practice rounds. Practice with your burna.
(28:48):

Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, a
wonderful Monday. Of course, it was a Medal of Honor Monday,
We've got a good time talking inauguration stuff. You can
find all that on iHeart, Spotify, and iTunes if you
miss any part of the show, or you can email
the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yeah, why
(29:46):
did Ronald Reagan give out four hundred and six pardons?
HW seventy seven, Bill Clinton four fifty nine, George W
two hundred, Barack Obama nineteen hundred, Trump two hundred, and
Joe Biden eight thousand. Well, two reasons. As I said, Originally,
he was unable and unwilling to put brakes on the
(30:07):
communists who control his administration. That's one and two. You
hand out pardons to everyone and their brother, including your
family members, when you don't care about the reputation of
the Democrat Party. And that was always the danger the
system faced when it came to Joe Biden. The system,
(30:29):
as I warned you, they were going to do it
a couple of years before they did it. The system,
the system wanted Joe Biden gone because they didn't think
he could win again, and they decided to make him gone.
But he was still there after you shoved him out
of power and the president can still do a lot
of damage. Whatever, let's do some emails before we get
(30:51):
back to politics. Jesse, thank you for remembering the Tang
and its skipper. Also notable was the USS Wahoo and
its commander Mush Morton. His name is Dudley Morton, although
Mush there's what everyone calls him. None were awarded the
Medal of Honor. The crew was legendary for aggressively sinking
(31:11):
Japanese shipping. It was Mush who achieved the first down
the throat shot of a destroyer charging the Wahoo with
murderous intents, sinking the destroyer. The Waho by itself wiped
out an entire convoy. The wa who was the first
submarine marine to enter enemy harbor and sink a ship
(31:32):
in the harbor. Yeah, those Navy guys in World War Two.
Down the throat shot Chris uh Okay, So I touched
on this a little bit. I'm not gonna spend a
long time on it. But remember when you think of submarines,
it's very tempting to think about submarines today, which are
super fast up on the surface and down below. You
(31:54):
just go wherever you want to go. Back then, in
World War two, when you were on the surface as
a submarine, Remember, you have virtually no armor. They're not armored,
they're not made to be armored. When you were on
the surface, you can move okay, because you still have
an engine, a motor. You're running on fuel. Okay. But
(32:16):
back then when you went down, just because they weren't
as advanced technologically, for obvious reasons, you only moved electrically.
You went from being motor powered, fuel powered to electric powered.
You were extremely slow, extremely slow. And as I tried
(32:38):
to point out last week, have you ever seen that's
a good example of that. Here's a good example. Have
you ever seen on the news or on social media
and above the waters shot from a helicopter of a
shark swimming in the ocean. Ever watched the Nature show?
Maybe a shark close to the beach. It's insane how
(33:02):
visible they are, isn't it. They're not hiding at all.
If it's daylight, you have that hell, you can point
out each and everyone. Look, there's that one, there, that one.
They're not hidden at all. Well, those sharks are oftentimes
pretty deep in the water. I realized this sounds like
an obvious point, but water is very very very clear,
and when you're looking down you can see it easily.
(33:26):
So when you were a submarine in World War Two,
you had no armor. Your only protection was beneath the water.
But even beneath the water, you still are unarmored, and
you can be seen quite easily, depending on how deep
you can go, and you can't move. What's a down
(33:49):
the throat shot for a destroyer If you are an
American submarine, well, really any submarine. But if you are
a submarine, a World War two level submarine, you understand
that destroyers are there to kill you. Destroyers are in
large part there to hunt and kill submarines. That destroyer
is equipped with all the depth charges and everything it
(34:11):
needs to take you out as a submarine. And if
that destroyer has seen you, if he has laid eyes
on you, that alone might be a death sentence because
he's going to catch you. You can't try to outrun him.
He's going to shoot his surface guns at you if
you remain on the surface. And if he pops you
(34:33):
even once, guess what, You're not anymore waterproof, so you
can't go down below. He doesn't even have to sink you.
He pops you you're not waterproof. You're finished. Now you
try to go down. He knows where you went down,
and he knows you can hardly move after you went down.
He's going to cruise that area hunting for you, looking
for you, and he's going to depth charge you to
(34:56):
the bottom of the water. So what is a down
the throat shot destroyer gets its eyes on Mush Morton
and his crew. Mush decides, well, I guess we're just
gonna slug it out, and he just points that bad
boy at him and fires torpedoes at him and nails
(35:17):
him head on. You don't normally try for that shot.
You try for side shots because that's where all the
surface area is. He nailed him head on and sunk him.
These guys were a different breed man. And in case
you are wondering what happened to Mush Morton and his crew,
I don't know. It's really one of those sad things.
(35:39):
Nobody knows they're dead. We know that the wah who
and this happened in World War Two. That's why there
are so many MIAs. It's why oftentimes it's not a
body buried. You send a crew out who's not necessarily
in radio contact at all times or whatnot, and sometimes
they just don't come back. There are rumors about this
(36:02):
or that. The most popular theory is there are Japanese
accounts of finding a disabled submarine on the surface and
air power flying in and taking them out, and they
think that was where the wah who was at the time.
They're all gone, right, they died, they died for their bravery,
(36:24):
but freaking awesome. Right, Let's talk about looting the treasury
and how we should handle the other side. Before we
talk about that, let's talk about something wonderful, caring for
the families of those who didn't come home. First responder families,
gold star families. How can we do that? Look, the
(36:48):
pain of losing somebody never ever, ever goes away, but
we can help. We can maybe pay off a home
for them so that widow and her kids don't have
that financial burden. That's what Tunnel to Towers does. They
build communities for these families, They pay off the mortgages
for these families. In your darkest hour, Tunnel to Towers
(37:12):
comes along, just help. And that's where your eleven dollars
a month goes. And more than ninety five cents of
every dollar goes right to its programs. That's unheard of
in the charity world. You want to help these widows
and orphans, go to tthanumber two, t dot org, T
twot dot org. We still have an hour. Hang on,
