Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Final hour. Wait a minute, no, not final hour,
another hour. It's not the the not the final one yet,
don't panic of the Jesse Kelly Show. On a Monday.
And you know what time it is. It's Monday. It's

(00:32):
the start of the second hour on Monday. And what
does that mean? That means it's medal of honor Monday time.
Every single Monday, we do this. We take a medal
of honor citation and we read it. That's it. We
set aside all the politics. We'll do all that this hour,
with the emails and the COVID stuff and all that
stuff set aside. Now we honor a hero. We honor

(00:56):
his name, his deeds. It's important that we remember these things.
It's important we read these to our children at home,
in school, practice, little league, wherever. It's important we hold
these people up and remember we take emailed suggestions. The
email's not just for your love and your hate and

(01:17):
your death threats and all those things for suggestions as well.
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. This one says Jesse
I recently rewatched the outpost about the battle of Camdesh,
Staff Sergeant Ty Warner and Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesia earned
the Medal of Honor that day. I appreciate the accolades

(01:38):
of the greatest generation. My dear grandfather was a second
Division Marine the entire war. Wounded three times. Third time
is enough to get him sent back to d Na'd
be a d I on the island that'd be Paris Isman.
By the way, your generation produced warriors just as fierce.
Please give them a shout out. All right, well, without

(01:58):
further ado, Hey honoring those who went above and beyond
its Medal of Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity
in action at the risk of his life, above and
beyond the call of duty while serving as a section

(02:20):
leader with Bravo Troop, third Squadron, sixty first Cavalry Regiment,
fourth Prigrade Combat Team, fourth Infantry Division, during combat operations
against an armed enemy at combat Outpost Keating, Camdesh, District,
Nurstan Province, Afghanistan, on the third of October two thousand
and nine. On that morning, Staff Sergeant Romasha and his

(02:43):
comrades awakened to an attack by an estimated three hundred
enemy fighters occupying the high ground on all four sides
at the complex, employing concentrated fire from recoiless rifles, rocket
propelled grenades, anti aircraft, machine guns, mortars, and small arms fire.
Staff Sergeant Romasia moved under intense enemy fire to conduct

(03:07):
a reconnaissance of the battlefield and seek reinforcements from the
barracks before returning to action. With the support of an
assistant gunner, Staff Sergeant Romesha took out an enemy machine
gun team, and while engaging a second the generator he
was using for cover was struck by a rocket propelled grenade,
inflicting him with shrapnel wounds. Undeterred by his injuries, Staff

(03:31):
Sergeant Romeasia continued to fight and arrival upon the arrival
of another soldier to aid him and the assistant gunner,
he again rushed through the exposed avenue to assemble additional soldiers.
Staff Sergeant Romasha then mobilized a five man team and
returned to fight equipped with a sniper rifle. With complete

(03:53):
disregard for his own safety. Staff Sergeant Romasia continually exposed
himself to heavy enemy fire as he moved confidently around
the battlefield, engaging and destroying multiple enemy targets, including three
Taliban fighters who would breached the company's outposts perimeter. While
orchestrating its successful plan to secure and reinforce key points

(04:15):
of the battlefield, Staff Sergeant Romasia maintained radio communication with
the Tactical Operations Center as the enemy forces attacked with
even greater ferocity, unleashing a barrage of rocket propelled grenades
and recoidless rifle rounds. Staff Sergeant Romesia identified the point
of the attack and directed air support to destroy over

(04:36):
thirty enemy fighters. After receiving reports that seriously injured soldiers
at a distant battle position, Staff Sergeant Romasia and his
team provided covering fire to allow the injured soldiers to
safely return the aid to the aide station. Upon receipt
of orders to proceed to the next objective, his team

(04:57):
pushed forward one hundred meters under oher overwhelming enemy fire
to recover and prevent the enemy fighters from taking the
bodies of fallen comrades. Staff Sergeant Romasia's heroic actions throughout
the day long battle were critical in suppressing an enemy
that had far greater numbers. His extraordinary efforts gave Bravo
troop the opportunity to regroup, reorganize, and prepare for the

(05:21):
counter attack that allowed the troop to account for its
personal and secure combat post Keating personnel and support and
secure combat Post seek Keating staff. Sergeant Romasia's discipline and
extraordinary heroism above and beyond the call of duty reflect
great credit upon himself. Bravo Troop, third Squadron, sixty VERS

(05:42):
Cavalry Regiment, fourth Brigade Combat Team, fourth Infantry Division, and
the United States Army. How about that? Huh? Not too shabby,
I'd say, now, this hole Gavin knew some things getting
off the uncomfortable. He's all but announced he's running for president. You,

(06:03):
of course, remember my prediction. I've been predicting forever. I
didn't get here last week. I'm predicting for been predicting
for well over a year. It's all recorded that Biden
would drop out. Biden's going to drop out. He's too old.
He's a bad messenger of the system. He just can't
help sure the great artists.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop
in America. L J cool J, by the way, that
boy's got.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, he's a liability, but It's not only that Joe
Biden's a liability that in and of itself is a
problem for the system. Don't get me wrong, But he's
so ugly and Gavin Newsom's so pretty. That's the problem
for Joe Biden. It's not just that he can't talk.

(06:56):
It's that Gavin Newsom has mastered it. And Gavin Newsom's
even mastered the look at what a good boy I
am routine. He's doing this routine. The system's doing. The
system loves this routine. Joe Biden did this routine every
Lots of major parts of this system they do this routine.
The no, no, I couldn't, No, I really should?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You know how your polling goes?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, you check every box.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
That the current president doesn't For the people.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Who are worried about him, I have deep respect, reverence
for Joe Biden as a person. His character is decency
and his capacity to do great things. That's why I'm
not worthy of that conversation. This guy deserves it, and
we as members party deserve to have us back.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, he's got such deep respect. He's just insistent. I mean,
Gavin Newsom probably as we speak, he's probably sitting around
with friends. If a guy like that can even have
friends with friends and family, and they're probably you know
what they're talking about right now, how much he respects
Joe Biden. I guarantee, Helley, that's what they're talking about.
That's definitely what they're saying right now. By quit, Remember,

(08:04):
you can download a podcast to the show on iHeart, Google, Spotify,
and iTunes if you happen to miss any of it. Jesse,
I feel the same way you do about Trump being convicted,
especially in New York City. But don't you think it's
probable that at least two people would find him innocent
in other states? Is that all we need in those states?
I realize each state is different. Okay, so we're talking

(08:26):
about the jurpool whatever, we could have one or two
people that find him innocent. I don't want to be
Debbie Downer on this, but I'm actually I'm more down
on this than other people are because of the social
shame system we've talked about so much. And here's what
I mean. Let's say, let's say in New York City,

(08:49):
let's say on that jury, as one of the twelve,
they're going to be sitting there in Donald Trump's trial.
One of the twelve people. Let's say it's a Republican.
Let's say not only is it a Republican, it's a
Republican who thinks these charges are ridiculous. This republican does

(09:09):
not think highly of Alvin Bragg, does not think highly
of George Soros. They look at these Trump Stormy Daniels
ridiculous charges. They roll their eyes and they think the
charges are ridiculous. Okay, so this is all going well, right,
that's what we're hoping for. I'm hoping for this too,
just like you're hoping for it. But here's the thing.

(09:32):
It's not you sitting on that jury. It's norm Or
it's Norma. The chances it's going to be you are
virtually non existent. The bumper stickers on your car, the
things you will stupidly say during jury selection, you will
get up and you will try to get off of

(09:52):
the jury. I don't know why we do this as
anti communists, when now, because our justice system is evil
and broken, we should be trying and to get on
juries instead of off juries. But you won't because you've
got that NRA sticker on the bumper, on the bumper
of your car and you're gonna stand up and you're
gonna tell them that Joe Biden is an old, evil,
corrupt pedophile, and you're gonna get kicked off of the jury.

(10:15):
So it's not going to be you on that jury.
It is going to be a Republican though, it's going
to be norm Now, have you thought about where this
goes from here? Let's talk about where this goes from
here in a moment. Here's where you're going to go
from here. Shooting wise, shooting wise, you you're going to
be better, faster, deadlier next year than you are right now.

(10:40):
And you know why. I know that because you're going
to buy a Mantis X. You're gonna stop thinking about
it and you're going to buy it. And a Mantis
X is a guarantee to get faster and deadlier. And
the reason it's a guarantee is because practice became easier.
You see all the times I talk to myself out
of going to the range, and I've talked myself to
go into the range many times, virtually every time I

(11:03):
either didn't have the time, I didn't have the money,
I didn't want to go to the trouble. But when
you practice in the comfort of your home. That's what
you do with mantis x. You drive fire practice in
the comfort of your home. You eliminate all those excuses
you have all the time in the world. It doesn't
cost you a time. You're sitting there in the air
conditioning or the heat, depending where you live, and all

(11:24):
you have to do is go to mantisx dot com
to get one. The same thing, the green berets Us
is available for you. Yep, mantisx dot com. Go get
one and get one tonight. All right, we'll be back.
You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. It

(11:45):
is the Jesse Kelly Show, jamming out to Phil Collins
like we always do here on the Jesse Kelly Show
on a medal of honor Monday. Remember, you can email
the show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Okay, So
let's talk about this juror thing in case you're just
joining us. We're hopeful with all these sham trials for

(12:07):
Trump that we're gonna get you know, Oh, we needs
one or two. Look, oh he needs one. You need
one person on that jury. Here's why I'm more pessimistic
about that. I'm pessimistic because it's not going to be you, meaning,
it's not going to be a hardcore, committed anti communist
who knows what time it is, knows what's happening in

(12:30):
the country, knows what we have to do to save it.
It's going to be norm If it's anybody on the rate,
it's going to be norm He watches Fox News every night.
He of course he votes every now and then he
votes in the primary. But for the guy who's already
in after all, I met him, it's going to be
norm It's going to be Norma. And okay, norm Norma.

(12:52):
They sit down and this Trump trial in Atlanta or
New York wherever it is, and they know this is ridiculous,
and they know this is crazy. But remember, we're not
dealing with you. We're not dealing with you. We're dealing
with Norma. Norma. She wants to vote to a quit Trump. Good.

(13:13):
I'm glad Norma wants that. But Norma Norma starts to
get some really, really really mean messages on social media.
See Norma, like every other grandma, She's on Facebook. She
does some sewing on there, and she talks to the
other ladies in the church on Facebook and Norma's name

(13:34):
and her phone number and her address and everything. It
of course got leaked by the communists, which it will.
All these juries, they're all going to be leaked. And
Norma is now hearing some really threatening things in her
email about her and her grandkids. She loves her grandkids
very much. Norm norm got screamed at yesterday when she

(13:55):
was in the grocery store about this trial. She just
went down, she wanted to pick out some flowers. She
was made cookies. She got screamed at, and someone said
they're gonna hurt her husband. You see what you see
where I'm going with this, norm If we do get
a norm or a Norma on one of these juries,
and I hope we do, they're going to be under

(14:17):
more pressure than you can possibly imagine to just go
along with everyone else and just vote guilty. The system
needs these guilties. The system needs to convict Donald Trump
of crimes. They have been working for five six years

(14:38):
now with the singular purpose of throwing Donald Trump in
a dark hole for the rest of his life life.
Do you think the system is going to let Norma
with her cookies get in the way of that. No,
they're not that's my worry. That is my worry. So there,
that's fun, isn't it? Isn't that sunny? You know it

(14:59):
is fun. Here's what that's fun for you. What's fun
is getting a male vitality stack or a female vitality stack,
because that's what Norma really needs. She needs a female
vitality stack and getting it ninety nine percent off the
first month. That's what it's like at Chalk right now
because it's ninety nine percent off the first month up

(15:22):
to seventy dollars. Those are the rules up to seventy bucks.
To get everyone started. Chalk is doing a very limited
time special with the code Jesse nine nine. That's Jesse
nine nine. Everything is ninety nine percent off Jesse nine nine.

(15:43):
Chuck dot com Jesse nine nine. Norma, we need you
standing strong on that jury to go get a male
vitality stack, norm male vitality stack for you. Did I
just say male vitality stack for the ladies too, Michael,
I did say that, Norma, Uh, never mind, I don't
want you to have a mustache. Go ahead, stick with

(16:04):
the female vitality stack, Norma, Male vitality stack for norm
Female vitality stack for Norma. I tell you I'm going
to miss him when.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Say we need we need to get the word out
on promises made and promises kept. We must get the
word out. With so much information outright lies and the
media that dwells on negatives. The people don't know the
progress we've made, but they're going to they're in the process.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
We need to get the word out about this economy.
Why do you think the economy sucks? Why haven't you
told everybody that it's good? What's your problem? All right,
I'm sorry this is going to come off as mean,
but that's my specialty anyway. So let's go ahead and
do this. The headline is this, Like, I'm just gonna
read it verbatim. Then I can't get in trouble if

(16:52):
I read it verbatim. The headline is this migrant children
pictured howling in pain as they crawl through razor wire
to reach the US. Well, I guess, I guess you

(17:13):
could always go the other direction? Is there are there
no other options? O there? And this is what this
country has become. And this is what the media is
like in this country. They will cover an illegal immigrant
family knowingly violating our immigration laws, knowingly spitting on the

(17:35):
sovereignty of our nation, and all that comes to mind
for them is to do a sob story about the
plight of the illegals who are violating our immigration laws
on purpose. You know, I don't claim to be a
smart man, as you know. I'm I'm a marine, I

(17:59):
was in construction, I wash golf clubs, I eat Velveta.
I'm really stupid, I know, you know. So I don't
claim to be smart. However, I do have a little
tidbit that might help everybody. This is my one hundred
percent successful plan to avoid running into razor wire at

(18:24):
the border. You ready for this? You ready for it.
I don't immigrate illegally. How about that? How about that?
I have never, in my entire life run into a
problem with the razor wire at another nation's border. And
do you know how I've pulled it off? Forty two years,

(18:46):
my success rate is one hundred percent. Do you know
how I've pulled that off. I haven't tried to crawl
across anybody's border in the middle of the night, violating
their sovereignty. And it's wild how successful that plan is. Look,
I'm even looking at my hands right now. I've got
some scars on there. There's some fights and some stuff,
but no razor wire scars. Look at me, how about that?

(19:07):
Follow me for more helpful ted bits, more emails and
governments shut down. But first, do you remember hydroxychloric one?
Hang on, It is the Jesse Cally Show. And you know,
sometimes sometimes lying is insulting. And here's what I mean.

(19:31):
Here's what I mean. Lying's always bad. Kids. You don't
want to be a liar. You want to tell the truth.
You want to be an honest human being. We are
commanded to tell the truth. You want to be honest,
all right, But lying can go from more than just
deceitful and bad to just flat out insulting sometimes. Look,

(19:53):
here's a great example. Here's a great example. You know
that I am a huge, huge fan of oreos. I'm
a gigantic fan of oreos. And whenever my parents would
let me, I would get six oreos. That was the
most I was ever allowed when I was a kid,
was six, And I would take all six of them,
and I'd gather them on a plate around this cold

(20:13):
glass of milk, and I would hold them for the
perfect amount of time in the milk, just so they
got soggy, but there was a little crunchy end to them,
and then I'd put the whole Oreo in my mouth.
And I used to love that, and that is the
greatest thing in the world. I love Oreos. However, I
will not buy Oreos anymore. Why well, why are you

(20:34):
probably the most pride filled company out there? Rainbow packages
in the works, So I will not buy them. The
Kellys will not purchase Oreos. I discovered an off brand
of Oreo that tastes like the legitimate Oreo. I discovered
this off brand of Oreo this weekend. I purchased this

(20:55):
off brand of Oreo this weekend. I went home, I
began to eat some. No, it wasn't Newmans, Michael, it
wasn't new Ones. I've never had new Ones. I began
to eat some. Now, this is all coming back to something.
Just stay with me here. And the wife knows I
have a weakness for Oreos, right, she knows I have
a weakness for Oreos. And she caught me when I

(21:15):
first came home eating the off brand Oreos. And then
last night the kids were packing their lunches for school
today and they were looking for a little dessert and
they they said, hey, we have anything for dessert? And
the wife said, yeah, go grab some of those off
brand Oreos. And they went to grab the off brand

(21:37):
Oreos only only there weren't any off brand Oreos left.
And they said, Mom, where are they? They're gone? And
she looks over at me and she's staring daggers through me,
and she says, did you seriously eat all the off
brand Oreos this weekend? Now? I said I did? I said, yes,

(22:02):
actually I did. And you know why I said it?
It wasn't because I didn't want to lie in that moment.
I wanted to lie. I was going to blame the kids.
I was going to blame the dog. I was going
to blame her memory. Look look as a hail Mary.
You can blame their memories. Sometimes, guys, what we have
this talk, don't you remember? You can go that route.
But I didn't do that. I didn't lie. You know why,

(22:25):
because it was so obvious to anyone who lives in
that house who ate the Oreos, that to lie in
that moment would have been insulting. So you might as
well just come out and tell the truth. I'm looking
at a headline here, and come on the FBI is
sued after allegedly losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in

(22:50):
rare coins during a raid. Yeah, guys, come on, all right, Look,
it's just guys. It's just you and me, all right.
You lost the coins. You raided the house of this
dastardly criminal, and all these agents took possession of hundreds

(23:14):
of thousands of dollars worth of coins, and now they're
unable to track down the coins. And you see the coins.
It's not like it's one of those mini cups of
coffee you grab for McDonald's on your way fishing in
the morning, where it's easy to misplace it. Maybe I
left it on the boat, Maybe I left it in
the bumper. You see, there's such thing as a chain

(23:38):
of custody. There's a method for evidence collection. FBI are
the same people who lost these coins? Would those be
the same agents who lost the Jeffrey Epstein evidence they
picked up from his island after they raided it. There? Oh,
I'm sorry. Am I not supposed to bring that up?

(24:01):
Maybe it would be helpful if everybody in the country
understood that Jeffrey Epstein, Yes, I made that transition. Whatever
my focus is just stay focused. Jeffrey Epstein was the
billionaire sex trafficker who trafficked women on his island with politicians,

(24:24):
with business leaders, with the elite of the elite. We
have flight logs of every politician and Hollywood actor you
can name, and according to all the word that I've gotten,
Jeffrey Epstein not only did this with the world's elite,
Jeffrey Epstein was a huge fan of blackmail, collecting blackmail

(24:48):
so he could use it against you. What I'm saying
to you is, the Federal Bureau of Investigation invaded Jeffrey
Epstein's place in the US Virgin Islands, and we know
for fact they took possession of untold amounts of pictures
and videotape. And you still haven't seen or heard a

(25:09):
single one of them. That is interesting, isn't it? Though?
It is interesting? All right, moving on, Let's get this
get to some other things, you know what, Let's get
to this. What do you think of Let's let's play
a little word game before I get to these emails
and stuff like that. Play a little word game. What
do you think of when you think of me? When

(25:31):
you think of me, close your eyes, what do you
think of. I bet I already know. I've seen those
mind trick games. I already know. I already know. I
know what you think of hero. I know that's what
you think of whenever you think about me. What Michael.
I know you think that I'm a hero, and you
obviously be correct about that. But the most heroic thing
I do is tell you about Hero gun and hero errow.

(25:55):
Why because people actually carry them. I hate that people
don't harry on them all the time, and I mean
even close to home. Yes, run into the gas station
for a doughnut and a cup of coffee on Saturday morning,
you need to carry with you. Bad men are out
on Saturday mornings too. They're out on Wednesday at midnight.

(26:15):
They're at the grocery store, the Little League game, the
gas station. Carry a hero gun on you or a
hero arrow, and they're non lethal, so anyone can do it.
There are no excuses. Well I don't like guns, fine,
don't call it a gun, call it a hero. Hero
twenty twenty dot com is where you go to get
one when you use the code Jesse that makes you

(26:35):
eligible for a special discount. Hero twenty twenty dot com
code Jesse go state restrictions may apply. Remember do you
remember this? It seems like it was only yesterday.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
The largest study to date of its kind shows that
hydroxychloroquin does more bad than good for coronavirus patients.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
The study of ninety six thousand hospitalized coronavirus patients on
six continents found that those who received that drug, promoted
by Donald Trump as a quote game changer in the
fight against the virus, had a significantly higher risk of death.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Taking hydroxychloroquin despite mounting evidence that it doesn't work against
COVID nineteen and could in fact be harmful. Another crazy
rabbit trail that he's taking Americans down.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Susan delwon just dangerous, as a study this morning shows,
are crazy. It's a dangerous rabbit trap.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, Mayo Clinic site now lis hydroxychloroquin as treatment for
certain COVID nineteen cases. These people, the people who run
your country, your medical systems, your government, your media. They
are so evil that they not only lied to you

(27:58):
about how deadly a virus was. Whenever there were any
treatments available for the virus that didn't make them money,
they told you those treatments didn't work. And when I
say people. I don't mean just some huckster on the sidewalk,
the people who bring you the news, the people who

(28:19):
bring you your medical advice. The FDA got in on this,
the organization that is there to tell you which foods
and medicines are safest for you. Have you wrapped your
mind around the fact that they lied about how deadly
the virus was, and then lied about which medications would

(28:39):
treat and wouldn't treat the virus. And they did all
this so they could destroy an economy to cost Donald
Trump the election, while at the same time making them money.
How evil are these people? That's bad, right, It's bad,
all right. Somebody hates Rondes Santus, super mad at DeSantis

(29:01):
to talk about that. We do. We do the DeSantis
hate the Trump hate thing. Because Ukraine is in the
news again. Apparently this is going to ramp up. This
is going to be a thing now. So what's discuss
to deal with DeSantis? Let's discuss next? Is he smarter
than everyone who knows?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Does he think?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
So? Yeah? The Jesse Kelly Show, It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. And even though we are smiling and laughing
here on a Monday that doesn't mean the war stops.
The war never stops. What war? The war on the
word literally, and they're literally almost eliminating education in this kind.

(29:45):
Literally almost is that what they're doing, Maxine. They're literally
almost almost deleting education. Why why does this word? That's
the thing. People think it's an age thing. Younger people
or older people will do this. They'll say, well, yeah,
it's the next generation, it's the younger. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no. The word literally it's a disease that affects everybody, men, women, young, old.

(30:13):
And maybe you're sitting there saying, yes, yeah, but you
don't understand. It was the suburban white women. No, no,
it was the suburban white women that was patient zero
for literally yeah, yes, literally, yeah, it would literally do this.
I literally hate that suburban white women were patient zero
for literally, but we didn't know they had created a

(30:35):
virus that would spread so far and so fast. Now
it's everywhere when to their husbands, their kids, is every race,
every religion, Maxine Waters. Maxine Waters is three hundred years old,
and she says it, children say it, it's everywhere. You
know what else is everywhere? All of our taxpayer money.

(30:55):
None of it's in your pocket or my pocket, but
our taxpayer money is apparently everywhere. Listen to this one.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
American taxpayers are financing more than just weapons. We discovered
the US government's buying seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers
and covering the salaries of Ukraine's first responders, all fifty
seven thousand of them. That includes the team that trains
this rescue dog named Joy to comb through the wreckage

(31:23):
of Russian strikes looking for survivors. And the US also
funds the divers who we saw clearing unexploded ammunition from
the country's rivers. Russia's invasions shrank Ukraine's economy by about
a third. We were surprised to find that to keep
it afloat, the US government is subsidizing small businesses.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Okay, so that's not landing that well. Again, I just
want to stress this, that's never going to land well
when things aren't going that well at home. That the
aid helping out a foreign country is actually something most
people are willing to do, and that's been most of

(32:05):
my life. Most Americans have been totally fine with that,
willing to do that. As soon as you get twenty
percent inflation at home. As soon as people can't afford
a gallon of gas at home, you're gonna find people
are a lot less willing to pay a small business
to stay open in Ukraine when they're going through that,
which brings me to this, someone hates Rhondasantus. DeSantis is

(32:28):
the Neville Chamberlain of World War Three. This guy, says,
Rhonda Santis, repeatedly suggesting that President Biden has given Ukraine
a blank check, displays a naivete that casts DeSantis as
the Neville Chamberlain of World War Three. To the opposite,
President Biden has dragged his feet on fighter jets and

(32:51):
missiles for Ukraine. Compromised by Russia and Chinese control of
the particulars of Biden family finances, President Biden has allowed
Vladimir Putin to conduct a war of attrition until Western
resources and patients are both exhausted. Biden is remotely micromanaging
another Vietnam war. DeSantis should realize that emboldening Putin will

(33:13):
only enable Xi and everyone else. Okay, now here's something.
This is something I'm sure people are planning or they
think I'm getting ready to pile on this guy Hey,
what an idiot? Hey, who is this moron? What's he
talking about? Now? We shouldn't even be in Ukraine? Who's
this idiot? Foreign policy is one of those things that

(33:37):
I generally don't get too hot blooded about, no matter
what your opinion is, outside of one certain scenario. There
is one certain scenario that drives me crazy. And I'll
explain what that is before I go into the rest
of it. If you have a foreign policy that sends

(34:00):
other people to war where they will be shot, stabbed,
blown up, burnt, lost limbs, families, If you have a
foreign policy that sends other people to war, and you
your self personally, personally, in a personal way, will never

(34:20):
never feel the effects of that war in a real way.
That is a foreign policy position I do not accept,
and I hate your guts, I'll be honest. And that
applies that normally people are thinking about chicken hawks. When
I say that, you're thinking like a Mitt Romney type.
He wants to invade everywhere, but he's never joined anything. Yes,

(34:41):
that applies to Mitt Romney, I'll be honest. It applies
to some liberal white woman too, whose sons and they
haven't joined any military service. They're all at Yale and Harvard,
and of course her husband, Peanut Brittle or whatever his
name is, he of course works engineering or something like that,

(35:02):
and she really thinks American Marines should go invade Ukraine
because her sons won't die, and her husband, Peanut Brittle,
won't die, and she will never die. And so that
is the only foreign policy position that I have a
major issue with. Other than that, I'm actually okay with
no matter how you feel about foreign policy, And allow

(35:23):
me to explain why foreign policy is always a gamble,
no matter what your foreign policy position is or philosophy is,
it's always a gamble because foreign policy is always banking
on what other people will do in response to what

(35:47):
you do. And there's never, ever, ever, ever, ever a
guarantee on that. You can't accurately predict one hundred percent
of the time what's someone else else is going to do?
And that's foreign policy. Hey, if we do this, then
they might do that, will do that probably, but maybe

(36:11):
I guess we'll see. And then if they maybe do that,
then that means these other guys will probably maybe do this,
and then we'll have to maybe do that. You see,
foreign policy is extremely complicated. What drives me nuts is
and we're gonna set aside the chicken hawk stuff I
just talked about. What drives me nuts when it comes

(36:33):
to things like foreign policy. Give Ukraine more missiles, No,
we've given Ukraine too many missiles. What drives me nuts
about it is how certain the people who speak about
foreign policy are when they speak about it, Because it's uncertain.
It would be like me sitting down for a hand
of blackjack, one hand at a Vegas table and sitting

(36:56):
down and saying, watch this guaranteed, getta hit a black
jack with hearts guaranteed. Like, stop being so confident you
can maybe hope or kind of predict. You don't know.
All right, gun control, Why all this gun control talk.
We'll talk about that next. Before we talk about that,

(37:16):
let's do something wonderful. Let's take eleven bucks and let's
give it to Tunnel to Towers. Look, eleven bucks, what
is that anymore? Eleven bucks? Is that's that's a trip
to the coffee shop. That's a couple bagels and a
couple cups of coffee. But if you give it to
Tunnel to Towers, what you're doing with it is you're

(37:39):
caring for widows and orphans. That's what Tunnel to Towers does.
When a cop doesn't come home, When that guy doesn't
come home from Afghanistan, who is there for his family, wife, kids,
Tunnel to Towers is. They're paying off mortgages, creating a
community for these widows and orphans who need it, and

(37:59):
helping catastrophically injured veterans. They are creating the community of
hope and help. Go to tthonumber two, t dot org,
