Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a wonderful Monday. And of course we're going to get
into this. Don't worry, it will be kid friendly. I
promise we'll get into the dark stuff that's been happening
(00:32):
inside the US intelligence community. And like I said, it'll
be safe for kids. Don't worry about that. We'll talk
about communists and control. Trump had a lot of things
to say today about the Ukraine stuff, all that, so
much more did this. I'll get to some emails, other
things coming up this hour on the world famous Jesse
Kelly Show. But it is Monday. Everyone knows one thing
(00:57):
happens the start a second hour every single Monday, and
that is Medal of Honor Monday. We take a citation
every time you earn a Medal of honor. Anytime someone does,
they do a write up on it and we just
read it. That's it. We honor the men, we honor
the deeds. We hold these men up in front of
the next generation and say, look, that's what you need
(01:19):
to be. And as I've told you before, I want
to encourage you that you can do this and should
with your family, with your school. There's nothing political about this,
or you one of the good teachers who listened to
the show. Your class could do projects on these guys.
They'd love it, I might point out. They'll love it.
Men and women, they love this stuff. Who doesn't love heroism?
(01:39):
He rose, everybody does. It's important these names. We don't
know these names. You know, we know the name of
all the dirt balls on TV and everything. We don't
know these names. We should all know these names. So
we also take emails suggestions. Member, you can email us.
We love your emails, love hate death threats. Ask doctor
Jesse questions of course and Medal of Honor suggestions. This
(02:03):
one said Medal of Honor nominee Alfred V. Rascone, specialist
for US Army Vietnam guys should have died and is
probably still carrying shrapnel one tough onmbreay. Wow, that's quite
an endorsement from somebody. So let's walk through this and
find out what mister Rascone went through on behalf of
(02:25):
this country. Oh almost forgot, I'm supposed to do birthplace now.
Alfred V. Rascone, who would later became an American citizen,
I might point out, was actually not born in America.
He was born in Chihuaba, Mexico. And part of the
reason I'm reading this is, yes, his heroism, but I
also wanted the opportunity to say Chihuaba on the radio.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond, it's medal
of honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Specialist I Alfred Rascone distinguished himself by a series of
extraordinarily courageous actions on the sixteenth of March nineteen sixty six,
while assigned as a medic to the reconnaissance Platoon, Headquarters Company,
first Battalion, five hundred and third Division, one hundred and
seventy third Airborne Brigade, while moving to reinforce its sister
(03:25):
battalion under intense enemy attack, the reconnaissance platoon came under
heavy fire from a numerically superior enemy force. The intense
enemy fire from crew served weapons and grenades severely wounded
several point squad soldiers. Specialist Rascone, ignoring directions to stay
(03:46):
behind shelter until covering fire could be provided, made his
way forward. He repeatedly tried to reach the severely wounded
point machine gunner laying on an open enemy trail, but
was driven back each time by the withering fire. Disregarding
his personal safety, he jumped to his feet, ignoring flying
(04:08):
bullets and exploding grenades to reach his comrade. To protect
him from further wounds. He intentionally placed his body between
the soldier and enemy machine guns, sustaining numerous shrapnel injuries
and a serious wound to the hip. Disregarding his serious wounds,
he dragged the larger soldier from the fire rake trail.
(04:32):
Hearing the second machine gunner yelled that he was running
out of ammunition, Specialist Rascone, under heavy enemy fire, crawled
back to the wounded machine gunner, stripping him of his
bandoliers of ammunition, giving them to the machine gunner, who
continued his suppressive fire. Quick pause, Sorry about that. The
wounded machine gunner wasn't wounded anymore. He was dead. He
(04:54):
had to crawl back to his dead body and take
his ammo off him anyway. Specialist Rascone, under heaving crawled back.
Specialist Rascone, fearing the abandoned machine gun, its ammunition, and
spare barrel could fall into enemy hands, made his way
to retrieve them. On the way He was wounded in
the face and torso by grenade fragments, but disregarded these
(05:16):
wounds to recover the abandoned machine gun, ammunition, and spare
barrel items, enabling another soldier to provide an added suppressive
fire to the pinned down squad. In searching for the wounded,
he saw the point grenadier being wounded by small arms
fire and grenades being thrown at him. Disregarding his own
(05:37):
life and his numerous wounds, Specialist Rascone reached and covered
him with his body, absorbing the blast from exploding grenades
and saving the soldier's life, but sustaining additional wounds to
his body. While making his way to the wounded Point
squad leader, grenades were hurled at the sergeant, again in
(05:58):
complete disregard for his own life. Can't believe this guy
is still alive. He reached and covered the sergeant with
his body, absorbing the full force of the grenade explosions.
Once more, Specialist Rascone was critically wounded by shrapnel, but
disregarding his own wounds to continue to search and aid
the wounded. Severely wounded, he remained on the battlefield, inspiring
(06:20):
his fellow soldiers to continue the battle. After the enemy
broke contact, he disregarded aid for himself, instead treating the
wounded and directing their evacuation. Only after being placed on
the evacuation helicopter did he allow aid to be given
to him. Specialist Rascone's extraordinary valor in the face of
(06:42):
deadly enemy fire, his heroism in rescuing the wounded, and
his gallantry by repeatedly risking his life for his own
fellow soldiers, are in keeping with the highest tradition of
military service, and reflect great credit upon himself his unit
in the United States Army. And I'll give you just
a couple little tidbits about that that I thought were
(07:03):
really really cool, Just a couple of little details surrounding it. First,
Alfred Wolverine was somehow still alive after all that shrapnel
and bullets and things like that. But you can imagine
his physical condition. His physical condition was such that they
(07:24):
gave him his last rites. They said, well, he's going
to die, let's go ahead and make sure you can
go be with Jesus. Alfred. There's no way you're living
through that. But he did. He lived through that. And
you know how we talk all the time about these
medals of honor and how there are all kinds of
dead guys who never came home who are as brave,
(07:44):
and there are the lower medals. I hate to say that,
but the lower medals. You read some of those citations
and you say to yourself, how in the world did
that guy not get a medal of honor? Well, Alfred
Rascone did not get a medal of honor either for this.
Initially he got a silver Star, which has no chump. Right,
you get a silver star, you did something ridiculous, and
(08:05):
there's a lot of silver star guys who are dead
right that you're amazing. But he got a silver star. Okay,
gets a silver star. He goes, he recovers from his
wounds in Japan. He ends up actually getting back into
the military as a reservist, as an advisor in Vietnam.
Has this kind of you know, long career, works with
the DEA and Panama. That's a bunch of cool stuff.
(08:27):
Just a cool dude, Just a cool friggin dude. He
ends up having a reunion with his unit. He gets
with his unit. This is after years and years and years,
and his guys, at least two of the guys he
saved saw that he had only a silver star, and
(08:48):
they were mortified because they were there that day, and
they said, excuse me, a silver star. They decided to
start pushing and pressing and pushing and pressing. They got
their congressman to start pushing and pressing and pushing and pressing.
Finally their congressman got in Bill Clinton's ear. This is
under Bill Clinton there. So that tells you how much
lag time there was. Hey, mister President, read the citation.
(09:13):
That's silver star. Come on now. Bill Clinton, to his credit,
was the one who read it and relented and said, uh, okay, yeah,
that's let's go ahead and give him the old upgrade,
shall we. Now he's a Medal of Honor recipient. How
about that? And one final word on this. Maybe you
caught it, maybe you didn't, that it was the point
(09:34):
man who got killed. There was a point man who
got gunned down immediately. Just Vietnam, guys are so worthy
of your respect. Walking point is always dangerous. It's always
dangerous being the guy in front. Sorry sorry, if you're
in point, you're in the front. In Vietnam, they rotated
(09:57):
him out a lot because it was a death sentence
to be up there too long. After all, who's gonna
get shot first, Who's gonna step on the land mine
they put in the trail? Who's gonna the point? Man?
It's a very dangerous shot, very very dangerous war, very
terrible war, and the heroes of that war deserve to
be honored. And mister Rascone, props to you. All right,
(10:21):
I'm going to get to the icky stuff with the
intelligence community in a moment, and like I said, I'll
be very very careful, and it will be as always
family friendly. That is a little bit of ugliness we
have to discuss. I'll tell you something I remember, like
it was yesterday, the first time I went hunting with
(10:44):
my dad for big, bigger game. Antelope isn't big, but
it was the first time I'd been hunting without rabbits
or squirrels things like that. This was the first time
i'd hunted bigger game, first time I got one. I
still have the picture of me and my old man
my first antelope. But you see, it's not a digital
(11:04):
picture because this is before the cell phone era. It's
just a polaroid, is all it is. What Legacy Box does.
It's more than digitizing pictures, you know, digitizing VHS tapes
or whatnot. It's taking every memory that's on that camcorder tape,
that's on that hard picture, and it is preserving it forever.
(11:30):
It'll outlive you. What they do with Legacy Box is amazing.
And if I may suggest something, buy one for your parents,
not yourself. Buy a Legacy Box for your parents, Send
it to them, have them put those pictures in there
so you can have them on your phone, on your
(11:50):
computer forever. They'll digitize it all for you. Half off
right now. Legacybox dot com slash Jesse. Legacybox dot com
slash Jesse. We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You're listening to the Oracle.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You love this one. It's a scream Baby, The Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday.
Reminding you you can email the show Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com. You can go to Iheartspotify, iTunes, subscribe,
leave us a review discussing how big my hands are,
(12:29):
so on and so forth. Before I get to the
Ikey intelligence stuff, I just want to say that there
are things you don't fully appreciate when you're young. I'm
the same way I was the same way. I admit
that there are things you don't fully appreciate when you're young.
Getting a haircut was always boring as a young boy, sucked.
(12:53):
I don't want to go get my haircut? Why do
I have to get my haircut? But you know, you
know how dad was. I am not raising a hippie
all that stuff. The hair had to be trimmed short.
But you know what, never ever, ever happened to me
when I was young, ever, And it happened to me
boom time is it now? About four or five hours ago.
(13:13):
It happened to me as I sat in the barber's
chair today getting my haircut, which I realized, Look, I
don't need your comments, okay, I realized me getting a
haircut is easy, all right? It was buzzed down. Whatever
I get this, looks at me, takes the clippers off
my head, looks at me and says, oh, I didn't
(13:34):
know exactly what that meant. Walks over, grabs a pair
of tweezers, reaches down and plucks a hair off the
end of my nose. I'm not talking about the nostrils
of the standard, you know, old man nostril hair no, No,
(13:58):
I mean like the point just reaches down, grabs, it
just rips it out of there. That ever happens to
you when you're young. What Chris? What could I not
see it? Well? I wasn't looking there, Chris. I'm sorry,
I wasn't. I understand. It's in the middle of my face.
(14:19):
It's not like it was two feet long, Okay, it
was little. And you know, my eyes aren't exactly what
they need to be. And I don't like to wear
glasses because it makes me feel nerdy. Why do you
have to drag me down when I'm exposing personal things
about myself here. I'm tired of going to the barber
and then saying, do you want me to do your eyebrows?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I don't need you to do my eyebrows. What Chris?
Why don't I just cut my hair at home? They
don't know how to style it all? Right? Headline? You
know what? I can't even read the headline because this
is such a disgusting story and there are kids listening.
So I'm gonna do it this way. The article is
in the City Journal if you want to go look
(14:58):
it up. It's Christopher Ruffo's reporting. So I definitely don't
want to take credit for it and its outstanding reporting,
but I'll give you the boiled down PG version of it.
The NSSA, you know, the NSSA, the ones who gather
all the information out there in cyberspace. They it's a
(15:23):
critical intelligence arm of the country. A bunch I don't
mean one or two, a bunch of intelligence officials at
the NSSAY have had an online chat room. And in
(15:43):
this chat room, gosh, this is difficult. I really can't
give you any details of the story and make it
kid friendly. In this chat room they discuss some of
the most disgusting, degenerate sexual things you've ever heard in
your life. Tranny stuff doesn't even begin to describe the
(16:06):
kind of stuff I'm looking at. And I have the
direct quotes, which I'm not going to read any of
them for you here. I'm so grossed out it's taking
everything in me not to vomit during the middle of
this radio segment. My point in pointing out this article
in the wonderful Research is not to do all the
gross perverted stuff. I'm really not doing that. My point
(16:30):
in all this is these are the people who not
only keep our secrets, they seek out the secrets of others,
of enemies of the state. That's really the point in
the National security agency finding the secrets of others. Get
that stuff online. How much blackmail material do you think
(16:51):
our mortal enemies have on the intelligence officers who work
inside of America's intelligence community. If this kind of thing
is so prevalent that it was easily discovered, and now
there's an article about it, a publicized article about it,
this is the one we know about. Remember, every time
(17:11):
you see something like this, you should say to yourself, Okay,
that's what I know. How much don't I know? This
is the one we know about. And this is the
real true danger of filling up your government with a
bunch of dirty, degenerate communists. When you do that, oh
(17:35):
I know, I know exactly why they do it. They
do it because these people are most likely to be
the most loyal foot soldiers there are in the cause
of the revolution. I get it, I get it. But
when you fill up your government with these degenerate freaks,
what you hand is your enemy the ultimate tool he
needs to compromise your national security apparatus. How many of
(18:00):
these emails text pictures? Imagine what's out there on these guys.
How many would China need to go show one of
these guys and say, hey, I can send these pictures
to your mom, or you can tell me what America
knows about our nuclear operation? Are we getting yet? How
deep the rot goes? And on that note, I'm going
(18:23):
to talk about the government recruitment of these degenerate freaks,
and then we'll do some email. Hang on what, Chris,
we can make jokes. It's fine, we get that right.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Okay,
you know what? Speaking of? No more, mister nice guy.
Before I read the emails, I have to have you
know what I need an opinion, Chris Corey. I guess
I'll rely on you two idiots. Was I being rude
(18:55):
when this happened? In fact, maybe this will just become
a news segment. Was Jesse being rude because I don't
feel like I was being right? No, Chris, don't say
yes before I even tell you the story. You don't
even know what I'm talking about. So here's what happened.
You know, I've encouraged you before if you're looking to
save money to buy a steer and have it butchered.
(19:18):
You don't have to look at it. Don't worry. Oh,
you can go to Butcher's. You can go to places
like that and say I want to buy a steer,
and then you always have a fridge full of beef.
If you're thinking that's too much money, I would agree.
We generally split one with another family or two. You
can do that. You two three families split up a steer.
You always have a freezer full of burger. You have
(19:38):
freezer full of steaks. If you have boys, especially if
you eat a lot of beef, it's a great way
to save some money. Get some quality beef in there.
Don't roll your eyes, Chris, Okay, Anyway, we always do this.
We always try to have a freezer full of beef.
When we run out, we go try to find well,
I have friends. I do it with a steer, making
(20:01):
sure we have some beef in the freezer. Now I
had done this recently, and this is the first time.
It was awful. It was just look it happens. I
Am not going to pretend to be a rancher or
a beef expert. There are plenty who listen, so I'm
sure I'll get a lecture on how this works, and
(20:25):
I'll welcome it. Actually, but this almost awful. The meat
was unspeakably bad. And you know, I don't exactly need
Japanese wago to be happy. I've had steak and eggs
at waffle House more times than I can count. Chris,
it was so tough, like you couldn't eat it. We're
stuck doing things, marinaing it for two three days, pounding it,
(20:49):
just pounding it out for chicken fried steaks. Virtually, all
steak is okay if you just, you know, give it
a good pounding. But not this stuff. It's like beef jerky.
It's almost like this thing had some sort of a disease.
It's bad. We should have just burgered the whole thing.
In fact, now that I bring it up, everything we
(21:09):
have that's not Burger, we're taken back and we're just
telling them just burger it, just burger the whole thing.
We'll met Hamburger help her with it. So it was
that bad. On Saturday night, I go out to dinner
with Ab. We get back from dinner, a bunch of
neighbor friends of ours say, hey, why don't you come over.
We'll play some cards. You know, we'll come over, we'll
(21:31):
hang out for a little bit. Yeah, sure, we're not
doing anything. Let's go over. So there's a few of
us over there, and the ones who are over there
are the ones who split the steer. Now I didn't know,
because I went through my one buddy to split the steer.
I actually didn't know that in buying this particular steer,
(21:52):
we were helping a young man with a scholarship. Okay,
don't think that I'm a nice guy or charitable. I
didn't even know when I bought the steer. I found
out on Saturday night. Okay, but we found out, oh
that steer. Glad you got the steer. It helped this
young man out with a scholarship. So I said, well,
(22:14):
as bad as it was, he better not turn out
to be a dirt ball. The look on Chris's face
is exactly look everyone in the party had right now.
I don't think that's that rude. I thought, that's a
very what Chris. What Chris said? That's fine if you
know he's not in the room with me. No, there
were no kids were all, there were no adults. He
(22:35):
was not He was not there. That's exactly what I said,
what's the problem. I got the cheese? Jesse, Oh my gosh,
what is wrong with that? I was hoping, Look, if
I have to eat bad meat, I hope he earns it.
Is all I'm saying, what, Chris, were any of them
related to the kid? I don't know. I actually never
asked who this scholarship was for what? Well, It's true,
(22:58):
I don't care if they were related. He better not
turn have to be a dirt ball. Whoever it is.
I don't care for it's your son. If I have
to eat an entire freezer full of meat that sucks
that bad, that kid better go on to cure cancer
or something like that. As bad as the beef is,
drop like three hundred dollars on that, Jesse? Is this
common sense? Make our European allies mad and suck up
(23:20):
to a murdering tyrant putin? Okay, right, I guess we'll
do some Russia Ukraine talk, make our European allies mad?
In fact, you said, long time European allies and suck
up to a murdering tyrant Putin? All right, So a
couple questions. I'm actually not going to be rude at all,
(23:43):
because this is this is a good mental experiment to
go through Here, you say you call them our long
time European allies. Let's say I was in the in
the Marine Corps with a buddy, and let's say we
fought in Iraq together. We were in combat together, tough
(24:06):
times together, ah the blood and guts and misery, and
he looked out for man I looked out for him,
and that was good. And then we get back from
Iraq and we both get out of the Marine Corps.
And let's say he starts to lose his way, lose
his mind. Let's say one day I find out he's
(24:30):
stolen my debit card and he bought himself five hundred
dollars worth of beef with it. Let's hope the meat
was higher quality. Let's say he borrowed my car, put
two flat tires on it, brought it back. Let's say
he hit on my wife. Let's say he drives by
my house and throws trash in the lawn. This goes
(24:53):
on for twenty thirty years. Is he still my ally
because we did great things together once? Is that? Is
there no expiration date on that? I want to focus
on this for a moment, long time European allies. Length
and quality are two very very different things, Chris, grow up.
(25:18):
Length and quality are two very very different things. Why
are they our allies? If you could, if you could
put that into words right now, I'm really asking. I
want you to think about this. Yes, no, no, no, no,
stop stop now. Let me stop you. Every question I
ask during this discussion, there's a rule. I have a
rule for it. You can't make it about World War two.
(25:42):
That's the only rule. That's all I'm asking. No world
War two. The forties are gone. No World War two.
So let me ask you again, our longtime European allies.
Why is Germany our ally right now? UK? Why are
they are ally right now? France, Brussels, anyone? What are
(26:10):
they providing for us right now? Are they still what
they were? Longtime European allies. Longtime European allies who currently
arrest their citizens for the most basic free speech in
the world. Longtime European allies who routinely publicly condemn us,
(26:35):
come out against us. We provide all of the national
defense for Europe, all of the national defense. Let me
ask you, after a let's pick your national disaster now,
North Carolina, after hurricane Helen, tell me how many German
groups came into North Carolina to help the good people Hawaii? Hey,
(26:59):
Germans Hawaii. How many people after that Lahina fire? How
many people from the UK? How many? How many members
of the UK government came out to help us? How many?
I'm tired of being told long time allies from people
who haven't been allies in ages. I again, stop, stop, stop.
(27:23):
Hitler's gone. I swear on my life he's dead. Hitler,
It's gone. I want to know why they're considered long
time allies. Let's just start there and then you know what,
Now that will set that aside. Let's discuss the Putin
aspect of this, who actually I don't like at all.
But let's discuss this in a frank way before we
(27:44):
discuss that. We had a little uh family dust up
on Saturday. During the day, I decided I wanted to
watch a family movie. I wanted it to be educational,
so I suggested we watch Shooter. The boys were all
about it. Bob thought maybe that wasn't his education as
it should have been. Then I tried to move on
(28:06):
and I said, well, okay, if we can't watch Shooter,
let's watch we were soldiers Again, some pushback from people
in the house, we decided to do something different as
a family. We decided to do the courses from Hillsdale,
one of them actually the Roman Republic course. We decided
to do it as a family. Does that sound boring? Well, One,
(28:29):
it was free. What I'm telling you about is free.
Two we laughed, We enjoyed it. It was interesting. My boys,
my two teenage sons, were riveted. So was I. So
was my wife, who doesn't even like that stuff. Hillsdale
was giving us free education, more than forty free online courses. Free.
(28:54):
What I'm telling you about is no cost. Do what
as a family Hillsdale Edu slash jesse go nerd out
for free. It's better than TV. We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Get the cure for rhinos, eat days with the Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Answering an email and
I guess we're just gonna go ahead and deal with
some of this Russia Ukrainian update stuff because the guy said,
is it now, I'm not insulting the guy who wrote
the email, so don't think that I am. He said,
is it common sense? We're making angry our longtime European allies,
and I just shot that down a little bit. To
(29:33):
suck up to a murdering tyrant Putin, suck up to
a murdering tyrant Putin again, Allow me to ask which
part of the peace steele is sucking up to Putin?
Which part if you could, if you could point to
it specifically, tell me which part of the Ukraine Russia
(29:55):
peace steel do you consider to be sucking up the Putin.
The reason I don't have to wait for your answer
is there's no peace steal. There is no peace steal none.
It is not a thing that exists. What exists are
the start of negotiations. We cannot have a Ukrainian Russian
(30:19):
peace steal without the consent of all parties involved. Ukraine
has to consent. Russia, because they actually have the most leverage,
because they hold the Ukrainian territory, they have to consent.
They have to consent. I don't understand this childlike view
of the world. We need everyone's consent to come to
(30:44):
a peace steal agreement. They have fought a vicious meat grinder,
bloody war for three years. Have you seen I think
it's in Kiev. A'm almost positive it's in Kiev. Why
don't I want to still call it Kiev? It sounds
so much better, and I think it's in Kiev. Have
you seen the memorial they have set up with flags
(31:04):
for the dead Ukrainian soldiers. It looks like you could
fill up ten football fields with it. Every flag represents
a Ukrainian man that will not be a father. He
is no longer anybody's son. He's vapor now. Butchery same
thing on the Russian side, they've fought for three years.
(31:26):
Do you want it to end well, yeah, but with
Putin's defeat. Okay, I give you that. I hate Vladimir Putin.
I hate all tyrants. It is my rule. In case
you're going to email me and try to defend Putin.
I hate any leader who denies his people the electoral process.
If you try to arrest your political opponents, I hate you.
(31:47):
That applies to Vladimir Putin, It applies to Zelenski, who
did the exact same thing. It applies to Joe Biden,
who did the exact same thing. If you have your
political opponent arrested, you are a tyrant and a scumbag.
So I hate Vladimir Putin. Okay, you hate Vladimir Putin.
We can't give in? Okay, who's we? Because you're not fighting,
Ukraine can't give in. So let's be honest. You're being
(32:11):
brave with Ukrainian blood. You're being brave with Ukrainian blood
because it makes you feel good, it makes you feel virtuous.
We can't give in. All right, It's been three years.
Despite all the equipment, all the money, Russia is still there.
Ukraine has been unable to get them out. Can you
(32:32):
give me some idea how long they should how long
this should go on? Anything? As long as it tanks
really with someone else's life some of else? I mean,
can't we come to an agreement? Can't you and I
(32:52):
at least come to an agreement that this does have
to end? At some point? It does, so that's how
wars go. It ends at some point, doesn't always end
the way you want or the way I want. So
back to this sucking up to a murdering tyrant Putin.
These are negotiations. Trump's sounding hopefully.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I think the work could end soon within weeks, Yeah,
I think so, right, don't you think so? I'd like
to ask, have you? I think we could end it
within weeks if we're smart.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
If we're not, he's not just talking to Putin again,
that's a media lie. It's talking to Lina.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I will be meeting with President's Olynskin. In fact, he
may come in this week or next week to sign
the agreement, and which should be nice. I'd love to
meet him. Would meet at the Oval Office. So the
agreement's being worked on now. They're very close to a
final deal. It'll be a deal with rare earths and
various other things, and he would like to come and
(33:54):
understand it here to sign it, and that would be
great with me.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Well, he can't talk to Putin.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I think getting very close to getting an agreement where
where we get our money back over a period of time.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What if we even get our money back? Oh but
by the way, along the.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Putin line, I think once you have a ceasfire, it's
going to end. Because they're not going from a ceasfire
back to war. I think people have had Therefore, I'm
just laying I was able to help because there was
no communication with Russia until I came along. Biden didn't communicate.
He couldn't communicate with his own child, so Biden didn't communicate.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
He couldn't.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
It was terrible. He hadn't spoken to Putin in three years.
You're trying to end the war. People are being killed
every week. Thousands of people are being killed, soldiers in
this case, mostly also towns.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know his missiles go in. Well, he shouldn't talk
to put Puttins the enemy. Do you have any idea
how often American presidents spoke to the Soviet leader during
the Cold War, during the height of war. It's famous
there was a phone, a direct line between the Oval
(35:05):
Office and the Soviet Oval Office. Well, their version of it,
a direct line. President can pick it up anytime. Leaders,
even ones we are at war with, speak to each other,
because that's how you bring about an end to it.
Three years of carnage. Yet Chris said, we did it
(35:27):
in Vietnam. Of course we did. We did it in
Vietnam World War two. But we spoke to Hitler. We
spoke to Hitler, we spoke to hero Hero. These are
things you do during war, trying to bring about an
end to the war. In this modern America where really
(35:49):
what it's happened. What's happened is history has been so
dumb down. It's not only been dumbed down. It's been
turned into a religion. World War two, most definitely they've
done it down. They teach people like two bullet points,
then they turn it into a religion. And now everybody
thinks that every Ukrainian on the planet should die in
(36:10):
service to I don't know what defeating Putin. That's crazy. Stop,
let's wrap it up, all right. I want to talk
about communists in their love of control, will make fun
of joy read. I first want to talk to you
about finding the right employee. You talk to a manager today,
(36:32):
you talk to a business owner, any employer out there.
It is complaint number one, two, three, four and five.
They can't find good people, Jesse. I can't find good people.
I've tried. I can't get people to show up. Most
employers they tell me they can't even get people to
show up for an interview. How crazy is that people
don't even show up for the interview? ZIP recruiter, that's
(36:56):
your solution, Your solutions right there, yours instant. Do you
realize what we're about to We're about to go to
break here. By the time I come back on the
air start of the next hour, you might already be
looking at a good candidate. Four out of five employers
who post on ZipRecruiter get a good one the first day,
and you can try it for free at ZipRecruiter dot
(37:20):
com slash jesse. During the break, you might find the
next one you're looking for ZipRecruiter dot com slash jesse.
All Right, communism and censorship next
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a wonderful Monday. And of course we're going to get
into this. Don't worry, it will be kid friendly. I
promise we'll get into the dark stuff that's been happening
(00:32):
inside the US intelligence community. And like I said, it'll
be safe for kids. Don't worry about that. We'll talk
about communists and control. Trump had a lot of things
to say today about the Ukraine stuff, all that, so
much more did this. I'll get to some emails, other
things coming up this hour on the world famous Jesse
Kelly Show. But it is Monday. Everyone knows one thing
(00:57):
happens the start a second hour every single Monday, and
that is Medal of Honor Monday. We take a citation
every time you earn a Medal of honor. Anytime someone does,
they do a write up on it and we just
read it. That's it. We honor the men, we honor
the deeds. We hold these men up in front of
the next generation and say, look, that's what you need
(01:19):
to be. And as I've told you before, I want
to encourage you that you can do this and should
with your family, with your school. There's nothing political about this,
or you one of the good teachers who listened to
the show. Your class could do projects on these guys.
They'd love it, I might point out. They'll love it.
Men and women, they love this stuff. Who doesn't love heroism?
(01:39):
He rose, everybody does. It's important these names. We don't
know these names. You know, we know the name of
all the dirt balls on TV and everything. We don't
know these names. We should all know these names. So
we also take emails suggestions. Member, you can email us.
We love your emails, love hate death threats. Ask doctor
Jesse questions of course and Medal of Honor suggestions. This
(02:03):
one said Medal of Honor nominee Alfred V. Rascone, specialist
for US Army Vietnam guys should have died and is
probably still carrying shrapnel one tough onmbreay. Wow, that's quite
an endorsement from somebody. So let's walk through this and
find out what mister Rascone went through on behalf of
(02:25):
this country. Oh almost forgot, I'm supposed to do birthplace now.
Alfred V. Rascone, who would later became an American citizen,
I might point out, was actually not born in America.
He was born in Chihuaba, Mexico. And part of the
reason I'm reading this is, yes, his heroism, but I
also wanted the opportunity to say Chihuaba on the radio.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond, it's medal
of honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Specialist I Alfred Rascone distinguished himself by a series of
extraordinarily courageous actions on the sixteenth of March nineteen sixty six,
while assigned as a medic to the reconnaissance Platoon, Headquarters Company,
first Battalion, five hundred and third Division, one hundred and
seventy third Airborne Brigade, while moving to reinforce its sister
(03:25):
battalion under intense enemy attack, the reconnaissance platoon came under
heavy fire from a numerically superior enemy force. The intense
enemy fire from crew served weapons and grenades severely wounded
several point squad soldiers. Specialist Rascone, ignoring directions to stay
(03:46):
behind shelter until covering fire could be provided, made his
way forward. He repeatedly tried to reach the severely wounded
point machine gunner laying on an open enemy trail, but
was driven back each time by the withering fire. Disregarding
his personal safety, he jumped to his feet, ignoring flying
(04:08):
bullets and exploding grenades to reach his comrade. To protect
him from further wounds. He intentionally placed his body between
the soldier and enemy machine guns, sustaining numerous shrapnel injuries
and a serious wound to the hip. Disregarding his serious wounds,
he dragged the larger soldier from the fire rake trail.
(04:32):
Hearing the second machine gunner yelled that he was running
out of ammunition, Specialist Rascone, under heavy enemy fire, crawled
back to the wounded machine gunner, stripping him of his
bandoliers of ammunition, giving them to the machine gunner, who
continued his suppressive fire. Quick pause, Sorry about that. The
wounded machine gunner wasn't wounded anymore. He was dead. He
(04:54):
had to crawl back to his dead body and take
his ammo off him anyway. Specialist Rascone, under heaving crawled back.
Specialist Rascone, fearing the abandoned machine gun, its ammunition, and
spare barrel could fall into enemy hands, made his way
to retrieve them. On the way He was wounded in
the face and torso by grenade fragments, but disregarded these
(05:16):
wounds to recover the abandoned machine gun, ammunition, and spare
barrel items, enabling another soldier to provide an added suppressive
fire to the pinned down squad. In searching for the wounded,
he saw the point grenadier being wounded by small arms
fire and grenades being thrown at him. Disregarding his own
(05:37):
life and his numerous wounds, Specialist Rascone reached and covered
him with his body, absorbing the blast from exploding grenades
and saving the soldier's life, but sustaining additional wounds to
his body. While making his way to the wounded Point
squad leader, grenades were hurled at the sergeant, again in
(05:58):
complete disregard for his own life. Can't believe this guy
is still alive. He reached and covered the sergeant with
his body, absorbing the full force of the grenade explosions.
Once more, Specialist Rascone was critically wounded by shrapnel, but
disregarding his own wounds to continue to search and aid
the wounded. Severely wounded, he remained on the battlefield, inspiring
(06:20):
his fellow soldiers to continue the battle. After the enemy
broke contact, he disregarded aid for himself, instead treating the
wounded and directing their evacuation. Only after being placed on
the evacuation helicopter did he allow aid to be given
to him. Specialist Rascone's extraordinary valor in the face of
(06:42):
deadly enemy fire, his heroism in rescuing the wounded, and
his gallantry by repeatedly risking his life for his own
fellow soldiers, are in keeping with the highest tradition of
military service, and reflect great credit upon himself his unit
in the United States Army. And I'll give you just
a couple little tidbits about that that I thought were
(07:03):
really really cool, Just a couple of little details surrounding it. First,
Alfred Wolverine was somehow still alive after all that shrapnel
and bullets and things like that. But you can imagine
his physical condition. His physical condition was such that they
(07:24):
gave him his last rites. They said, well, he's going
to die, let's go ahead and make sure you can
go be with Jesus. Alfred. There's no way you're living
through that. But he did. He lived through that. And
you know how we talk all the time about these
medals of honor and how there are all kinds of
dead guys who never came home who are as brave,
(07:44):
and there are the lower medals. I hate to say that,
but the lower medals. You read some of those citations
and you say to yourself, how in the world did
that guy not get a medal of honor? Well, Alfred
Rascone did not get a medal of honor either for this.
Initially he got a silver Star, which has no chump. Right,
you get a silver star, you did something ridiculous, and
(08:05):
there's a lot of silver star guys who are dead
right that you're amazing. But he got a silver star. Okay,
gets a silver star. He goes, he recovers from his
wounds in Japan. He ends up actually getting back into
the military as a reservist, as an advisor in Vietnam.
Has this kind of you know, long career, works with
the DEA and Panama. That's a bunch of cool stuff.
(08:27):
Just a cool dude, Just a cool friggin dude. He
ends up having a reunion with his unit. He gets
with his unit. This is after years and years and years,
and his guys, at least two of the guys he
saved saw that he had only a silver star, and
(08:48):
they were mortified because they were there that day, and
they said, excuse me, a silver star. They decided to
start pushing and pressing and pushing and pressing. They got
their congressman to start pushing and pressing and pushing and pressing.
Finally their congressman got in Bill Clinton's ear. This is
under Bill Clinton there. So that tells you how much
lag time there was. Hey, mister President, read the citation.
(09:13):
That's silver star. Come on now. Bill Clinton, to his credit,
was the one who read it and relented and said, uh, okay, yeah,
that's let's go ahead and give him the old upgrade,
shall we. Now he's a Medal of Honor recipient. How
about that? And one final word on this. Maybe you
caught it, maybe you didn't, that it was the point
(09:34):
man who got killed. There was a point man who
got gunned down immediately. Just Vietnam, guys are so worthy
of your respect. Walking point is always dangerous. It's always
dangerous being the guy in front. Sorry sorry, if you're
in point, you're in the front. In Vietnam, they rotated
(09:57):
him out a lot because it was a death sentence
to be up there too long. After all, who's gonna
get shot first, Who's gonna step on the land mine
they put in the trail? Who's gonna the point? Man?
It's a very dangerous shot, very very dangerous war, very
terrible war, and the heroes of that war deserve to
be honored. And mister Rascone, props to you. All right,
(10:21):
I'm going to get to the icky stuff with the
intelligence community in a moment, and like I said, I'll
be very very careful, and it will be as always
family friendly. That is a little bit of ugliness we
have to discuss. I'll tell you something I remember, like
it was yesterday, the first time I went hunting with
(10:44):
my dad for big, bigger game. Antelope isn't big, but
it was the first time I'd been hunting without rabbits
or squirrels things like that. This was the first time
i'd hunted bigger game, first time I got one. I
still have the picture of me and my old man
my first antelope. But you see, it's not a digital
(11:04):
picture because this is before the cell phone era. It's
just a polaroid, is all it is. What Legacy Box does.
It's more than digitizing pictures, you know, digitizing VHS tapes
or whatnot. It's taking every memory that's on that camcorder tape,
that's on that hard picture, and it is preserving it forever.
(11:30):
It'll outlive you. What they do with Legacy Box is amazing.
And if I may suggest something, buy one for your parents,
not yourself. Buy a Legacy Box for your parents, Send
it to them, have them put those pictures in there
so you can have them on your phone, on your
(11:50):
computer forever. They'll digitize it all for you. Half off
right now. Legacybox dot com slash Jesse. Legacybox dot com
slash Jesse. We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You're listening to the Oracle.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You love this one. It's a scream Baby, The Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday.
Reminding you you can email the show Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com. You can go to Iheartspotify, iTunes, subscribe,
leave us a review discussing how big my hands are,
(12:29):
so on and so forth. Before I get to the
Ikey intelligence stuff, I just want to say that there
are things you don't fully appreciate when you're young. I'm
the same way I was the same way. I admit
that there are things you don't fully appreciate when you're young.
Getting a haircut was always boring as a young boy, sucked.
(12:53):
I don't want to go get my haircut? Why do
I have to get my haircut? But you know, you
know how dad was. I am not raising a hippie
all that stuff. The hair had to be trimmed short.
But you know what, never ever, ever happened to me
when I was young, ever, And it happened to me
boom time is it now? About four or five hours ago.
(13:13):
It happened to me as I sat in the barber's
chair today getting my haircut, which I realized, Look, I
don't need your comments, okay, I realized me getting a
haircut is easy, all right? It was buzzed down. Whatever
I get this, looks at me, takes the clippers off
my head, looks at me and says, oh, I didn't
(13:34):
know exactly what that meant. Walks over, grabs a pair
of tweezers, reaches down and plucks a hair off the
end of my nose. I'm not talking about the nostrils
of the standard, you know, old man nostril hair no, No,
(13:58):
I mean like the point just reaches down, grabs, it
just rips it out of there. That ever happens to
you when you're young. What Chris? What could I not
see it? Well? I wasn't looking there, Chris. I'm sorry,
I wasn't. I understand. It's in the middle of my face.
(14:19):
It's not like it was two feet long, Okay, it
was little. And you know, my eyes aren't exactly what
they need to be. And I don't like to wear
glasses because it makes me feel nerdy. Why do you
have to drag me down when I'm exposing personal things
about myself here. I'm tired of going to the barber
and then saying, do you want me to do your eyebrows?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I don't need you to do my eyebrows. What Chris?
Why don't I just cut my hair at home? They
don't know how to style it all? Right? Headline? You
know what? I can't even read the headline because this
is such a disgusting story and there are kids listening.
So I'm gonna do it this way. The article is
in the City Journal if you want to go look
(14:58):
it up. It's Christopher Ruffo's reporting. So I definitely don't
want to take credit for it and its outstanding reporting,
but I'll give you the boiled down PG version of it.
The NSSA, you know, the NSSA, the ones who gather
all the information out there in cyberspace. They it's a
(15:23):
critical intelligence arm of the country. A bunch I don't
mean one or two, a bunch of intelligence officials at
the NSSAY have had an online chat room. And in
(15:43):
this chat room, gosh, this is difficult. I really can't
give you any details of the story and make it
kid friendly. In this chat room they discuss some of
the most disgusting, degenerate sexual things you've ever heard in
your life. Tranny stuff doesn't even begin to describe the
(16:06):
kind of stuff I'm looking at. And I have the
direct quotes, which I'm not going to read any of
them for you here. I'm so grossed out it's taking
everything in me not to vomit during the middle of
this radio segment. My point in pointing out this article
in the wonderful Research is not to do all the
gross perverted stuff. I'm really not doing that. My point
(16:30):
in all this is these are the people who not
only keep our secrets, they seek out the secrets of others,
of enemies of the state. That's really the point in
the National security agency finding the secrets of others. Get
that stuff online. How much blackmail material do you think
(16:51):
our mortal enemies have on the intelligence officers who work
inside of America's intelligence community. If this kind of thing
is so prevalent that it was easily discovered, and now
there's an article about it, a publicized article about it,
this is the one we know about. Remember, every time
(17:11):
you see something like this, you should say to yourself, Okay,
that's what I know. How much don't I know? This
is the one we know about. And this is the
real true danger of filling up your government with a
bunch of dirty, degenerate communists. When you do that, oh
(17:35):
I know, I know exactly why they do it. They
do it because these people are most likely to be
the most loyal foot soldiers there are in the cause
of the revolution. I get it, I get it. But
when you fill up your government with these degenerate freaks,
what you hand is your enemy the ultimate tool he
needs to compromise your national security apparatus. How many of
(18:00):
these emails text pictures? Imagine what's out there on these guys.
How many would China need to go show one of
these guys and say, hey, I can send these pictures
to your mom, or you can tell me what America
knows about our nuclear operation? Are we getting yet? How
deep the rot goes? And on that note, I'm going
(18:23):
to talk about the government recruitment of these degenerate freaks,
and then we'll do some email. Hang on what, Chris,
we can make jokes. It's fine, we get that right.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Okay,
you know what? Speaking of? No more, mister nice guy.
Before I read the emails, I have to have you
know what I need an opinion, Chris Corey. I guess
I'll rely on you two idiots. Was I being rude
(18:55):
when this happened? In fact, maybe this will just become
a news segment. Was Jesse being rude because I don't
feel like I was being right? No, Chris, don't say
yes before I even tell you the story. You don't
even know what I'm talking about. So here's what happened.
You know, I've encouraged you before if you're looking to
save money to buy a steer and have it butchered.
(19:18):
You don't have to look at it. Don't worry. Oh,
you can go to Butcher's. You can go to places
like that and say I want to buy a steer,
and then you always have a fridge full of beef.
If you're thinking that's too much money, I would agree.
We generally split one with another family or two. You
can do that. You two three families split up a steer.
You always have a freezer full of burger. You have
(19:38):
freezer full of steaks. If you have boys, especially if
you eat a lot of beef, it's a great way
to save some money. Get some quality beef in there.
Don't roll your eyes, Chris, Okay, Anyway, we always do this.
We always try to have a freezer full of beef.
When we run out, we go try to find well,
I have friends. I do it with a steer, making
(20:01):
sure we have some beef in the freezer. Now I
had done this recently, and this is the first time.
It was awful. It was just look it happens. I
Am not going to pretend to be a rancher or
a beef expert. There are plenty who listen, so I'm
sure I'll get a lecture on how this works, and
(20:25):
I'll welcome it. Actually, but this almost awful. The meat
was unspeakably bad. And you know, I don't exactly need
Japanese wago to be happy. I've had steak and eggs
at waffle House more times than I can count. Chris,
it was so tough, like you couldn't eat it. We're
stuck doing things, marinaing it for two three days, pounding it,
(20:49):
just pounding it out for chicken fried steaks. Virtually, all
steak is okay if you just, you know, give it
a good pounding. But not this stuff. It's like beef jerky.
It's almost like this thing had some sort of a disease.
It's bad. We should have just burgered the whole thing.
In fact, now that I bring it up, everything we
(21:09):
have that's not Burger, we're taken back and we're just
telling them just burger it, just burger the whole thing.
We'll met Hamburger help her with it. So it was
that bad. On Saturday night, I go out to dinner
with Ab. We get back from dinner, a bunch of
neighbor friends of ours say, hey, why don't you come over.
We'll play some cards. You know, we'll come over, we'll
(21:31):
hang out for a little bit. Yeah, sure, we're not
doing anything. Let's go over. So there's a few of
us over there, and the ones who are over there
are the ones who split the steer. Now I didn't know,
because I went through my one buddy to split the steer.
I actually didn't know that in buying this particular steer,
(21:52):
we were helping a young man with a scholarship. Okay,
don't think that I'm a nice guy or charitable. I
didn't even know when I bought the steer. I found
out on Saturday night. Okay, but we found out, oh
that steer. Glad you got the steer. It helped this
young man out with a scholarship. So I said, well,
(22:14):
as bad as it was, he better not turn out
to be a dirt ball. The look on Chris's face
is exactly look everyone in the party had right now.
I don't think that's that rude. I thought, that's a
very what Chris. What Chris said? That's fine if you
know he's not in the room with me. No, there
were no kids were all, there were no adults. He
(22:35):
was not He was not there. That's exactly what I said,
what's the problem. I got the cheese? Jesse, Oh my gosh,
what is wrong with that? I was hoping, Look, if
I have to eat bad meat, I hope he earns it.
Is all I'm saying, what, Chris, were any of them
related to the kid? I don't know. I actually never
asked who this scholarship was for what? Well, It's true,
(22:58):
I don't care if they were related. He better not
turn have to be a dirt ball. Whoever it is.
I don't care for it's your son. If I have
to eat an entire freezer full of meat that sucks
that bad, that kid better go on to cure cancer
or something like that. As bad as the beef is,
drop like three hundred dollars on that, Jesse? Is this
common sense? Make our European allies mad and suck up
(23:20):
to a murdering tyrant putin? Okay, right, I guess we'll
do some Russia Ukraine talk, make our European allies mad?
In fact, you said, long time European allies and suck
up to a murdering tyrant Putin? All right, So a
couple questions. I'm actually not going to be rude at all,
(23:43):
because this is this is a good mental experiment to
go through Here, you say you call them our long
time European allies. Let's say I was in the in
the Marine Corps with a buddy, and let's say we
fought in Iraq together. We were in combat together, tough
(24:06):
times together, ah the blood and guts and misery, and
he looked out for man I looked out for him,
and that was good. And then we get back from
Iraq and we both get out of the Marine Corps.
And let's say he starts to lose his way, lose
his mind. Let's say one day I find out he's
(24:30):
stolen my debit card and he bought himself five hundred
dollars worth of beef with it. Let's hope the meat
was higher quality. Let's say he borrowed my car, put
two flat tires on it, brought it back. Let's say
he hit on my wife. Let's say he drives by
my house and throws trash in the lawn. This goes
(24:53):
on for twenty thirty years. Is he still my ally
because we did great things together once? Is that? Is
there no expiration date on that? I want to focus
on this for a moment, long time European allies. Length
and quality are two very very different things, Chris, grow up.
(25:18):
Length and quality are two very very different things. Why
are they our allies? If you could, if you could
put that into words right now, I'm really asking. I
want you to think about this. Yes, no, no, no, no,
stop stop now. Let me stop you. Every question I
ask during this discussion, there's a rule. I have a
rule for it. You can't make it about World War two.
(25:42):
That's the only rule. That's all I'm asking. No world
War two. The forties are gone. No World War two.
So let me ask you again, our longtime European allies.
Why is Germany our ally right now? UK? Why are
they are ally right now? France, Brussels, anyone? What are
(26:10):
they providing for us right now? Are they still what
they were? Longtime European allies. Longtime European allies who currently
arrest their citizens for the most basic free speech in
the world. Longtime European allies who routinely publicly condemn us,
(26:35):
come out against us. We provide all of the national
defense for Europe, all of the national defense. Let me
ask you, after a let's pick your national disaster now,
North Carolina, after hurricane Helen, tell me how many German
groups came into North Carolina to help the good people Hawaii? Hey,
(26:59):
Germans Hawaii. How many people after that Lahina fire? How
many people from the UK? How many? How many members
of the UK government came out to help us? How many?
I'm tired of being told long time allies from people
who haven't been allies in ages. I again, stop, stop, stop.
(27:23):
Hitler's gone. I swear on my life he's dead. Hitler,
It's gone. I want to know why they're considered long
time allies. Let's just start there and then you know what,
Now that will set that aside. Let's discuss the Putin
aspect of this, who actually I don't like at all.
But let's discuss this in a frank way before we
(27:44):
discuss that. We had a little uh family dust up
on Saturday. During the day, I decided I wanted to
watch a family movie. I wanted it to be educational,
so I suggested we watch Shooter. The boys were all
about it. Bob thought maybe that wasn't his education as
it should have been. Then I tried to move on
(28:06):
and I said, well, okay, if we can't watch Shooter,
let's watch we were soldiers Again, some pushback from people
in the house, we decided to do something different as
a family. We decided to do the courses from Hillsdale,
one of them actually the Roman Republic course. We decided
to do it as a family. Does that sound boring? Well, One,
(28:29):
it was free. What I'm telling you about is free.
Two we laughed, We enjoyed it. It was interesting. My boys,
my two teenage sons, were riveted. So was I. So
was my wife, who doesn't even like that stuff. Hillsdale
was giving us free education, more than forty free online courses. Free.
(28:54):
What I'm telling you about is no cost. Do what
as a family Hillsdale Edu slash jesse go nerd out
for free. It's better than TV. We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Get the cure for rhinos, eat days with the Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Answering an email and
I guess we're just gonna go ahead and deal with
some of this Russia Ukrainian update stuff because the guy said,
is it now, I'm not insulting the guy who wrote
the email, so don't think that I am. He said,
is it common sense? We're making angry our longtime European allies,
and I just shot that down a little bit. To
(29:33):
suck up to a murdering tyrant Putin, suck up to
a murdering tyrant Putin again, Allow me to ask which
part of the peace steele is sucking up to Putin?
Which part if you could, if you could point to
it specifically, tell me which part of the Ukraine Russia
(29:55):
peace steel do you consider to be sucking up the Putin.
The reason I don't have to wait for your answer
is there's no peace steal. There is no peace steal none.
It is not a thing that exists. What exists are
the start of negotiations. We cannot have a Ukrainian Russian
(30:19):
peace steal without the consent of all parties involved. Ukraine
has to consent. Russia, because they actually have the most leverage,
because they hold the Ukrainian territory, they have to consent.
They have to consent. I don't understand this childlike view
of the world. We need everyone's consent to come to
(30:44):
a peace steal agreement. They have fought a vicious meat grinder,
bloody war for three years. Have you seen I think
it's in Kiev. A'm almost positive it's in Kiev. Why
don't I want to still call it Kiev? It sounds
so much better, and I think it's in Kiev. Have
you seen the memorial they have set up with flags
(31:04):
for the dead Ukrainian soldiers. It looks like you could
fill up ten football fields with it. Every flag represents
a Ukrainian man that will not be a father. He
is no longer anybody's son. He's vapor now. Butchery same
thing on the Russian side, they've fought for three years.
(31:26):
Do you want it to end well, yeah, but with
Putin's defeat. Okay, I give you that. I hate Vladimir Putin.
I hate all tyrants. It is my rule. In case
you're going to email me and try to defend Putin.
I hate any leader who denies his people the electoral process.
If you try to arrest your political opponents, I hate you.
(31:47):
That applies to Vladimir Putin, It applies to Zelenski, who
did the exact same thing. It applies to Joe Biden,
who did the exact same thing. If you have your
political opponent arrested, you are a tyrant and a scumbag.
So I hate Vladimir Putin. Okay, you hate Vladimir Putin.
We can't give in? Okay, who's we? Because you're not fighting,
Ukraine can't give in. So let's be honest. You're being
(32:11):
brave with Ukrainian blood. You're being brave with Ukrainian blood
because it makes you feel good, it makes you feel virtuous.
We can't give in. All right, It's been three years.
Despite all the equipment, all the money, Russia is still there.
Ukraine has been unable to get them out. Can you
(32:32):
give me some idea how long they should how long
this should go on? Anything? As long as it tanks
really with someone else's life some of else? I mean,
can't we come to an agreement? Can't you and I
(32:52):
at least come to an agreement that this does have
to end? At some point? It does, so that's how
wars go. It ends at some point, doesn't always end
the way you want or the way I want. So
back to this sucking up to a murdering tyrant Putin.
These are negotiations. Trump's sounding hopefully.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I think the work could end soon within weeks, Yeah,
I think so, right, don't you think so? I'd like
to ask, have you? I think we could end it
within weeks if we're smart.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
If we're not, he's not just talking to Putin again,
that's a media lie. It's talking to Lina.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I will be meeting with President's Olynskin. In fact, he
may come in this week or next week to sign
the agreement, and which should be nice. I'd love to
meet him. Would meet at the Oval Office. So the
agreement's being worked on now. They're very close to a
final deal. It'll be a deal with rare earths and
various other things, and he would like to come and
(33:54):
understand it here to sign it, and that would be
great with me.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Well, he can't talk to Putin.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I think getting very close to getting an agreement where
where we get our money back over a period of time.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
What if we even get our money back? Oh but
by the way, along the.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Putin line, I think once you have a ceasfire, it's
going to end. Because they're not going from a ceasfire
back to war. I think people have had Therefore, I'm
just laying I was able to help because there was
no communication with Russia until I came along. Biden didn't communicate.
He couldn't communicate with his own child, so Biden didn't communicate.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
He couldn't.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
It was terrible. He hadn't spoken to Putin in three years.
You're trying to end the war. People are being killed
every week. Thousands of people are being killed, soldiers in
this case, mostly also towns.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know his missiles go in. Well, he shouldn't talk
to put Puttins the enemy. Do you have any idea
how often American presidents spoke to the Soviet leader during
the Cold War, during the height of war. It's famous
there was a phone, a direct line between the Oval
(35:05):
Office and the Soviet Oval Office. Well, their version of it,
a direct line. President can pick it up anytime. Leaders,
even ones we are at war with, speak to each other,
because that's how you bring about an end to it.
Three years of carnage. Yet Chris said, we did it
(35:27):
in Vietnam. Of course we did. We did it in
Vietnam World War two. But we spoke to Hitler. We
spoke to Hitler, we spoke to hero Hero. These are
things you do during war, trying to bring about an
end to the war. In this modern America where really
(35:49):
what it's happened. What's happened is history has been so
dumb down. It's not only been dumbed down. It's been
turned into a religion. World War two, most definitely they've
done it down. They teach people like two bullet points,
then they turn it into a religion. And now everybody
thinks that every Ukrainian on the planet should die in
(36:10):
service to I don't know what defeating Putin. That's crazy. Stop,
let's wrap it up, all right. I want to talk
about communists in their love of control, will make fun
of joy read. I first want to talk to you
about finding the right employee. You talk to a manager today,
(36:32):
you talk to a business owner, any employer out there.
It is complaint number one, two, three, four and five.
They can't find good people, Jesse. I can't find good people.
I've tried. I can't get people to show up. Most
employers they tell me they can't even get people to
show up for an interview. How crazy is that people
don't even show up for the interview? ZIP recruiter, that's
(36:56):
