Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad.
My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.
I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time
means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking
smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their
animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was
(00:20):
just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home
had a smell to it until I got my first
Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned
in my life. This thing. I had it plugged in
for two hours. I came back in the room and
my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them.
(00:42):
I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed
me on top of what it's done from my allergies.
Go get one, get two, you like me, and get three.
Go to Eden Pure deals dot com. Make sure you
use the promo code Jesse that gets you ten bucks
off and free shipping Eden here deals dot com. Promo
code Jesse. This is a Jesse Kelly show. Can you
(01:24):
feel it in the air? It's an ask doctor Jesse
Friday here and the oracle is some kind of fired
up today. That's right, Chris. I just referred to myself
in the third person using one of the nicknames I
gave myself in your stupid face eight seven seven three
(01:45):
seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly
show dot com. You can call live, you can leave
a voicemail, you can send an email. When I say
all over the map, this one may redefine it. I'm
going to give you my real take on masks in masking.
I don't think I've ever laid this out, and it's
(02:07):
not going to be one you're expecting, but I'm gonna
give you my real take on it. Somebody wants to
know whether I'd have rather been in Earnest Shackleton's freezing
Antarctic party or the Donner party that was having steak
for dinner. Somebody wants to know how I prepare for
(02:29):
a big meal like Thanksgiving. And actually I do have
a specific way I prepare for a big meal. Again, unorthodox,
What do you mean, really, Chris? Did you not think
that I was going to plan ahead for a big meal.
I planned my meals out throughout the day to this day.
It drives my wife crazy. We'll be sitting down eating
(02:49):
breakfast on a Saturday and I'll say, so, what do
you want to do for dinner tonight? And She'll just
look at me dumbfounded, like we're not even done eating breakfast.
I like to know, listen, you can't put a price
on anticipation. And anticipation, my friend, anticipation. All right, But
(03:14):
first before we get to that, and look, there are
so many more wild questions today, and they're so good,
they're such great ones. I've been telling people to be
more purposeful about where they spend or don't spend their money.
People have questions about that. Of course, somebody asked a
question about stealing things from communists. I'm going to address that.
(03:36):
Let's go to Korea first, though, the situation on the ground.
Let's talk a little bit about Kim Jong ill. I
know all the Kims kind of blend together. You're an American.
All you've ever known is there's some psychopath with a
bad haircut in charge of North Korea. Kim something nobody
(03:58):
really knows. Just know this. I'm not talking today about
the dictator they have there now. I'm talking about his father,
which you will undoubtedly remember Kim Jong ill is the
current guy's dad, But in order to lay out him,
(04:23):
we have to go to his father and Korea itself.
I don't know if you've heard, but Japan was kind
of hard on its neighbors back in the day, especially
you remember, we've talked about it a thousand times. Japan
was this samurai bushido code run by a showgun, but
(04:46):
kind of the emperor's society, very harsh, very traditionalist, very insular,
no we don't want outside influences here kind of culture.
One day they looked around, saw all these other Asian
cultures and smaller cultures getting colonized, and they, to their credits,
(05:06):
to their credit, said that's not going to happen here.
We're going to set aside some of the traditions in advance.
They set aside the traditions they advanced really fast. Because
they're a hard working, diligent people. They do it really,
really well. And soon they look around and they're not
one of these smaller powers anymore. They're looking around and
(05:30):
they're thinking, what's stopping me from taking that or taking
that or taken that. And part of the whole taken
that thing was Japan took over Korea. It was not
a nice occupation. To put it mildly. You know how
we talk about colonizers, all do it differently. All colonization
(05:51):
is not the same summer, brutally oppressive summer, just kind
of nice, and you should be you should be happy
they're there. Let's just help it out. Here's some schools,
here's some roads. How about running water? Sound good? Japan's
was not not nice, it was well. Look, and I
(06:13):
say this as a person who acknowledges every single person
on the planet holds some prejudice of some kind, because
of your parents, because of your life experiences, whatever the case. Maybe,
and it doesn't have to be skin color, and you
know what, you don't necessarily want to advertise it, but
(06:35):
you have to understand too, that's the human condition. Maybe
you hate tall people, short people, black people, white people, Jews, Muslims, Christians.
Maybe you hate Chinese people, Japanese people, Russian people, whatever
the case, maybe you hold some prejudice in your heart.
So that let me be clear about that before I
say man was japan racist back in the day. May
(06:57):
still be. Look, I'm a fan of their culture, but
let's be honest. The Japanese They viewed the Koreans as
being subhumanly beneath them, not even worthy to shine their shoes.
So Japan's occupation of Korea was horrific. Why am I
talking about that, because it'll help you understand why the
(07:20):
Koreans were so welcoming of a new regime. Japan's was terrible.
They would eliminate the Korean language, eliminate the Korean culture,
so much of Korea's historical landmarks. The Japanese just wiped
it out. I mean, it was awful. It was offul.
I should do a whole show on the Japanese occupation
of Korea. It was terrible. The way they treated the women.
(07:43):
You know, I'm just not getting into it. It It was
really really bad, really bad. Along comes World War Two.
Post World War two, Japan and Germany and the other countries.
While we didn't wipe them out like we did the
quote bad guys after World War One, You're also going
to have to give some things up when you've spent
(08:03):
the last several years slaughtering millions of people around the globe.
One of the things Japan was gonna have to give
up was Korea, which brings us to kill Kim ill Soon.
I on my life. That's the only other name I'm
gonna give you today. There are two Kims. One is Soon,
(08:24):
the grandfather of the current guy. The other one is Jong,
the father of the current guy. You got it, Soon
old or soon old Jong younger but not as young
as the guy. We have understand We all good. That's
the I swear to you, no other names, but you
gotta understand we're going to the dad of the guy
(08:45):
we're supposed that Legol had talked about today. If I
can ever actually get to the story, what was his
story Kim ill Soon. Well, first of all, he was
a Communist, not obviously my favorite people in the world. However,
to their credit, like have to give us the communists
(09:07):
some credit where credit is due. I know, gosh, that
hurts me. Remember that Japanese occupation. We were just talking about.
One of the only groups in the country of Korea
that stood up and violently opposed it wherever they could
were the Communists. No, it's not good. Yes, Communism's terrible.
(09:32):
But to the people in Korea, when you're desperate, when
you're under a brutal occupation, remember what's my rule? Human nature?
They're all the same. You will seek out safety first.
You will seek out a protector first. If you're under
a brutal Japanese occupation and the only guy out there
(09:53):
trying to kill Japanese people and take your culture back
as a communist, you might find yourself more a commodating
to Communist them than you probably should be. Perfect world,
absolutely not. Is that the way it goes. That's the
way it goes. But obviously the Japanese are not just
going to allow him to run wild in there. So
(10:13):
he finds himself in the communist Soviet Union in charge
of a military unit. Now it was a Korean military unit,
but the Soviets, like all Communists, were all about helping
out their communist brothers. They stay unified, and a young
man is born one day in the Soviet Union. We're
(10:34):
going to get to him his brutal occupation and my
real thoughts on masks a little different, hang on truth attitude,
(10:57):
Jesse Kelly, Your heart matters. I don't know if you've
been told that, but it's actually a fairly important organ
helps keep you alive, and you only have one. And
I've been through this in my own life and my
own personal life because health problems, well, specifically heart problems.
(11:19):
Blood pressure problems run in my family. I have to
do extra things. Why wouldn't I eat Superbeats heart shoes.
I have to eat a little better. I have to
work out these aren't options for me, and super Beats
heart choes they increase the benefit of all of that
for me, and they taste good. Full disclosure, I don't
(11:41):
think I could eat them if they tasted like beats.
I eat the pomegranate berry, two of them every single day.
They're fantastic. It's like dessert. Go to get Superbeats dot
com slash Jesse. That's get Superbeats dot com slash Jesse.
Buy two bags, get the third for Jesse Kelly returns
(12:03):
next eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven
(12:29):
three Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Should you cut
off a political commentator? Somebody has a specific question about
should you and when you should? And I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you that in a few and that's that's
probably gonna come off as harsh as well. My masks
(12:51):
stuff is going to be controversial. I don't even think
I think everything included my dinner preparation is going to
be controversial. It's not what you think. But first let's
get to Kim Jong Ill. Here. I'll try to hurry
through this because there are so many good questions today.
All Right, he's born and actually he was born in
the Soviet Union. It's pretty funny. Later on when they're
(13:14):
trying to make him like this god king, they make
up some weird story. They're so weird about how he
was born in some sacred mountain in Korea and started
walking after three weeks and stuff like that. They're so dumb.
Just a quick side note, Kim Jong il, the level
of propaganda the North Koreans are subjected to Kim Jong Ill.
(13:34):
You know what they say about his golf game. He
went golfing once. He played eighteen holes of golf, he
got eleven hole in ones, shot thirty eight under par,
and then retired and never golfed again. That's what we're
dealing with here. And these I mean, they're so freaking wild.
Wait till I finished this today. All right, But let's
(13:55):
go back to the dad first. Remember son sons? The
dad Jong's the son. Wow, that's going to get confusing,
all right, whatever son is the dad. I really didn't
think this through to be Frank, I need to start
preparing more for the show. But the father is the
communist rebel. Post World War two, we do that thing
(14:18):
we did post World War two, and Korea is split.
South Korea is very much American. That's why they're such
a close allied to this date. There are American troops there.
It is a free place. I've never been, but I'm
told South Korea is really cool. Told it's very clean,
very cool, good food, good people. That's what I'm told.
(14:39):
I can't testify to that. North Korea absolute dump. Why
because post World War two we let the Russians in
the Chinese have it. Now, here's the problem. When you're
North Korea and you're a communist and now the dad
is running it. His son is the one running the thing,
(15:00):
Kim ilsn he's running it. You take over post World
War two. Obviously, the Japanese occupation with stuff world War
two was stuff. You don't have money, so you are
forced to accept a lot of outside help and influence
from the Soviets, from the Chinese, and they do when
they start really learning how to clench in this communist power.
(15:24):
And the father, Kim ill Son is starting to become
a dictator in very very very short order. And as
a dictator, he is enjoying the spoils of being announced
a dictator when he's not building a nation. Remember, he's
building a North Korea from scratch. Now he's building it
(15:45):
into a dump, but he's building it from scratch. When
he's not doing that well, he's not being a father
to his son. He's out with the lady folk of
the country and partying and doing things ditters do well. Now,
that creates an interesting situation because you have a young
(16:07):
man who apparently is already a very twisted up individual
or going down that way. Kim Jong Ill, as a
young man born in the Soviet Union, comes to North
Korea when I believe he's six years old. His dad
is now the all powerful supreme leader. You, Kim Jong Ill,
you want for nothing, absolutely, you live in palaces right
(16:30):
off the bat. You get whatever you want one day,
and there are a bunch of rumors surrounding this. Kim
Jong Ill, as a very very young boy, I believe
he was seven years old, is out swimming with his
younger brother, and his younger brother didn't make it back
home that day. He drowned the two main rumors surrounding
(16:53):
it were Kim Jong il, who was a nutjob sociopath.
Very early, either he drowned him in self or he
watched and smiled as his brother drowned in front of him.
That's the type of person we're dealing with, and that's
the type of person who's about to achieve full power
in North Korea. Now. I guess credit to Kim ill Son,
(17:17):
the father. He didn't tell his son, you're going to
be supreme ruler this one day, and he frankly wasn't
even sure about that. He had remarried, he had now
had stepbrothers, he had other options. Remember, this wasn't just
a blood thing yet. So Kim ill Son, he's traveling
(17:38):
the country his younger, his psychopathic son, is already drinking
as a teenager, already taking whatever he wants whenever he wants,
and becomes obsessed with movies. But she didn't know that
Kim Jong it was obsessed with movies. And when I
(17:58):
say obsessed with movies, remember the North Korea then in
now is almost like a gigantic gangster state. Obsessed with
movies for him meant I'm gonna have my ambassadors in
every country. Go grab the biggest films in every country,
bootleg a copy of it for me because I don't
want to pay for it, and send them to me.
He supposedly had a library of twenty thousand movies. They
(18:21):
say it might be the biggest movie library in the history.
Man kind kind of cool, right, qu quit admiring the guy.
And he lives on villas. He lives on seaside villas.
He lives a complete life of luxury because of his father,
obsessed with gaining power and obsessed with movies and obsessed
with himself. Of course, he gets sent off to college,
(18:44):
where they say he was a bit of a party
animal and yet achieved perfect grades. It's weird all that happened.
And now we know from testimony afterwards, his own professors
would do his assignments for him because it's North Korea
and everybody knows who this guy is and they know
who his dad is. In I don't feel like having
(19:06):
my fingernails pulled out, so I'm gonna go ahead and
give this guy an a again today. Good job. So
I knew you could do it. But Kim Jong Ill
graduates college and he's at the point now he wants
to impress his father big time. He's still at the
point he has to impress his father if he wants
to take the reins one day. Now, let's go to
(19:26):
communism for a second. As you know then and now,
propaganda's everything. You have to constantly be indoctrinating the people
around you. You not only have to indoctrinate the people
around you, you have to make dang sure if you're
gonna sell communism that they can't hear any other options,
because if you're giving any other options, you're not choosing communism. Well,
(19:50):
how does that turn out? How it turns out in
a place like North Korea. You're taking films and you're
trying to make them to promote communism. Only your films
aren't really that good. Why aren't they that good? Will
you keep killing or imprisoning anybody who has real artistic talent?
(20:11):
You see, they're trying to compete with South Korea at
this point, they're always competing with South Korea, and South
Korea they're killing it. They're winning all these international movie awards.
South Korea is killing it, and that's only making North
Korea more angry. And speaking of South Korea, North Korea,
this relationship. I'm not doing the show on it today,
but realize, Kim Iill's son, the father, he invaded South
(20:36):
Korea out of nowhere to unify all of Korea under
one flag, and he almost won. He pushes them clear
back down. The Americans dead step in and push him
clear back into the North. Then the Chinese step in
and push us back down to the south, and now
the country's forever split. And remember there was never a
treaty signed. Technically they're still at war. There was a
(20:58):
little like ceasefire, and that's all it is. That's why
you have this situation today. So there's this rivalry, this
intense rivalry with North Korea and South Korea. It's not
passive at all. It's aggressive, as you're going to find
out here in just a few minutes. It's very very aggressive.
So as the North Korean you want the best propaganda,
(21:19):
you want to start winning films. And there's something else
that happens in communist regime, something really really ugly, something
you need to pay attention to. Might sound a little
bit familiar after all. All right, I'm gonna try to
finish this story so I can get to all these questions, angam,
(21:55):
Hey dad, your prescription will be ready in just a minute.

(23:17):
nodding your head, Chris, I'm gonna get to that answer
in just a minute. You can get it on social
media you can get me on social media at Jesse
Kelly DC on Twitter, Instagram, I'm on Facebook. I'm also
on locals. That's the one I can't get kicked off of.
Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three
(23:40):
Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. Kim Jong Ill
rising up through the ranks because his dad wanted better films,
and there was another problem with North Korean films. You see,
you know how the commies always eat each other. Once
they take total power, they eat each other. There's always
(24:03):
a purge of some kind going on. And you're starting
to just glimpse this because you and I can't understand
fully what this feels like yet, but you're starting to
get glimpses of it. In America, fear seems to rule everybody.
Fear of getting in trouble, fear of saying the wrong thing,
(24:23):
fear doing this wrong, fear of doing that wrong. People
were getting more and more skittish, and with good reason.
You know who was afraid in countries like North Korea then,
and now you know who's afraid everyone. The supreme dictator
in charge of everything lives in constant fear of being overthrown.
(24:48):
Other people the elite's the one you have a good life,
the elite members of the communist society. And these are
the guys who were spoiled. You know, everyone else is
starving to death. These are the guys was staked in
fancy cars and fancy houses and pretty girls. They live
in fear every single day in places like that, not
(25:08):
just in fear of maybe I'm going to do something wrong,
and fear of my best friend does something wrong. Because
in North Korea, then and now you go down to
North Korea has a strict family criminal policy. Dad screws up,
Mom screws up, Sun screws up. Aliyah. Get in the truck.
(25:32):
It's off to the gulags. We may murder you, we
may starve you to death. And you know, you know
how evil this is. They blame the kids who aren't
born yet, kids who are born in the labor camps,
born in the gulags. They'll leave those kids in there
their entire lives. That's right, Chris, three generations, they'll leave them.
(25:54):
Imagine imagine the existence you have. You think you've had
a rough day, I've had that too. You know you're
feeling sorry for yourself. Oh I'm a truck won't start
us dab matteau. I'm sick, I got the flu, I
got well, whatever the case. Maybe you think you're having
a rough day. There are people alive in this world
today who are born in a North Korean gulag and
(26:18):
will never see the outside of those walls until the
day they die. Wrap your mind around that. But what
fear does that create? You can be the biggest of
big shot in the elite communist party. And maybe your
son who you set off to college, maybe he goes
to Europe once to go to college in Europe. What's
(26:39):
they're allowed to do once you get to the matures, son,
go experienced, experienced Paris, enjoy the women, make sure she
has her armpits shaved, or whatever the case may be.
Maybe your son decides he's gonna start dabbling in some
leftist politics up there, kind of fascinated by it. You
know who has spies everywhere, including on their own people
(27:02):
North Korea. One of those spies comes back home. Excuse me,
a supreme leader, did you know that this head general
that his son is going to All of a sudden,
that general has a car pull up in the middle
of the night in front of his house and he's
in handcuffs, his wife's in handcuffs, their whole family's gone,
their mansions given to somebody else. That's the culture of fear.
(27:23):
And that's not even the peasants. You're just trying to
survive from day to day. A culture of fear. Well,
the same thing happened with the propaganda, with the movie
propaganda in North Korea. Under Kim Ill's son, he found
out a bunch of the people in the film industry
were friends with some guy who was going to try
(27:44):
to take over. Pick Gone. You're all dead or in prison.
You need completely new management in the film industry. He
looks for volunteers within the Communist party and who sticks
their hand up, but his wayward son him Jong Ill,
a dad who's the movie expert around here. Trust me,
(28:05):
I got it. I got it. He takes over and
he's really really really good at it, really good at it.
He's just an artist by nature. Now he can only
be so good because you can only get so much talent.
And he's getting frustrated right because he wants to be
(28:26):
the best. And this is a guy who watches CNN,
who's seen every big American movie and every other foreign film.
This is a guy who knows what good is and
what isn't good. So what do you do if you're
North Korea and you'd like to improve the talent level
of your films? And yet it's very hard to find
(28:47):
that stuff home grown because you're a bunch of brutally
oppressive comedies. You know, there's a reason it's not in
your imagination. There's a reason entertainment in America has gone
so far downhill today. It's because the Commies are taken
over it. They ruined comedy, they r film, their ruin everything. Well,
you figure out a way to import some talent. There
was an actress in South Korea who Kim Jong Ill
(29:10):
thought was extremely talented. Well, remember when I said there
were spies everywhere, assassin's operatives, terrorists everywhere. They decided they
wanted this South Korean actress to come be part of
North Korea. She gets invited to come meet with a
producer in Hong Kong, spends a couple of days wined
and dined. Finally she's invited out to this special seaside villa.
(29:35):
She arrives out there by taxi, doesn't really see anything.
She's on the beach and then she hears a couple
of boats pulling up, and then she loses consciousness. And
then she wakes up and she's on a North Korean
boat on the way to North Korea. Finds her boat
(29:55):
pulling in the dock of Kim Jong il, who's standing
there to greet her. Where she there has to live
and be his companion for eight years before she's able
to escape, helping him make films. Oh, it gets worse, Chris,
it gets the stories of these people absolutely insane, insane.
(30:19):
They create This is as Kim Jong ill was coming
up and he's rising through the party, they create something
hardly anybody knows about it called Room thirty five. Room
thirty five. This is the spy assassin terrorists network. And
let me tell you then and now, North Korea is
obsessed with assassination, with spies, with terrorists, with spy recruitments.
(30:44):
How obsessed are they with spy recruitment? While I'll put
it to you this way, they came very very close
to striking a deal with Japan at one point to
do trade. A lot of historical tension there. Well, Kim
Jong Ill, out of the blue, chooses to us this
event as an opportunity to quote confess some of the
(31:04):
things they've done to Japanese citizens. You see a lot
of Japanese citizens seem to be disappearing. One of them
was even a thirteen year old girl. Why were they
disappearing Because the North Koreans would send spy kidnappers over
to Japan because they wanted spies in Japan. Why not
kidnapped some Japanese children, put them through your kami brainwashing,
(31:30):
and then send them back to Japan to spy for
your nation. They look Japanese, they don't look Korean. One
of the big international incidents. You can look it up now.
They admitted this thirteen year old girl Japanese. They lured
her away after school one day, kidnapped her, drove her
to North Korea, got her completely indoctrinated and their communist
(31:55):
spy network. But about ten years later she couldn't take
it anymore and killed herself. And there's a laundry list
of Japanese citizens who have gone missing, and they don't
only do it in Japan. Yeah, Chris is looking it
up now. Oh yeah, it's a long long list. You
don't realize how bad these people are. How much they
want to kill people? Did I mention assassination? Oh, We're
(32:18):
about to talk about assassination. And then I'm gonna wrap
this up because I have a lot of asked doctor
Jesse questions my meal prep for a big man, hang,
(32:48):
Jesse Kelly. One in three adults has pre diabetes one
in three. That means it could be you, your football buddy,
your football buddy, or you you're best man, you're a
worst man. You you're a dog walker, you're a cat jugger.
While one in three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis,
(33:11):
pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at
do I have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I
have pre diabetes dot org? Wait? Did they just say
one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three
point three three three percent of adults. That means it
could be me my boss or my boss's boss, or

the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol,
or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take the
risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot Org,
brought to you by the AD Council and it's pre
Diabetes Awareness Partners eight seven seven three seven seven four
(34:14):
three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com.
It's and ask doctor Jesse Friday. I'm going to get
there in just a couple of minutes. I'm wrapping this up.
There too many good questions. But Kim Jong ill As
he's coming up. Remember he's not Supreme Ruler yet his
dad still is. He realizes he needs some muscle around him,
(34:34):
he needs some help around him on top of the
spy assassination terrorist network. He creates this bodyguard force around him,
and there are videos now out of this bodyguard force
videos that have been released. He is obsessed that these
are pretty much the baddest dudes on the planet. The
(34:57):
training to get in and the training once you're in
is so comically over the top. But I guess effective
and what I all You want to know what I
mean by comically over the top, Chris, Well, here's one
for you. There's a video of a guy headbutting a
nail into a board. I'm not making that up. On
my life, my life, on my life. They're throwing axes
(35:20):
and knives at them, real ones and having them to
dodge it. They're standing there shirtless, you know, put their
arms up, flexing like you'd show your women your biceps,
do you know? Get are going whatever, and they're they're
breaking sticks on their arms and ribs. They're headbutting and
karate chopping bricks and boards. Their weapons training is supposedly extensive,
(35:47):
and to his credit, Kim Jong Ill himself was all
about that weapons training life, hours and hours and hours
on the range. He puts this squad of absolute assassins
around him and you're not allowed to come close to him.
He's at one of his villas one time, all his
bodyguards are around him. A couple of fishermen accidentally drift
(36:08):
too close, and the bodyguards just kill him, just mow
him down, and then of course tell the family, Oh,
they drowned at sea. That's what it's like. And remember
that whole South Korea there's never been a peace steel thing. Yeah,
they still want the South koreanstead. Seven South Korean diplomats
go to Rangoon for some ceremony. It doesn't matter. Boom
(36:32):
bomb goes off. Four of them die. Who do they
bust at the scene a North Korean agent another international incident.
They gather this group of assassins North Korean commandos. They
sneak across the border at night, heading down to kill
the president of South Korea. They would have gotten him too,
(36:56):
except they were in the mount well, they think they
would have gotten him. The guys were there sleeping in
the mountains because they had to walk so far. Of
a couple farm boys, I think it was four of them,
happened to come across them. The North Korean commandos capture them,
but choose instead of killing them to tell them about
the greatness of communism and make them swear allegiance to it.
(37:19):
The boys do crafty devils. They let them go. The
boys promptly run to the police, so they elevate I'm
not making this up. They elevate the level of security
all around the capitol. The commandos try to get into
the capitol, and by the grace of God, they are stopped,
but ninety two South Koreans die in the shootout as
they try to get in. They were within one hundred
meters of the president's mansion. The communists finally, the commune
(37:43):
commandos finally retreat to the mountains, but the South Korean
Army tracks them down and they end up killing every
single one of them. But I want you to understand
this as we wrap this up. Kim Jong Ill took
over nineteen ninety four. They were developing nuclear power because
they've been given a nuclear plant, buy the Soviets for
for energy, and of course the North Koreans look around
(38:06):
and think, wow, might as well see if we can't
do a little more with this. It's a big deal.
It's an international incident. A lot of people will remember it.
Jimmy Carter, actually, to his credit, goes over arranges to
give some aid, some economic aid to North Korea if
you will just back off the nuclear program. Oh. They
(38:27):
agree to do that, but instead Kim Jong Ill builds
a massive nuclear facility, a secret one in the mountains,
and now North Korea is a power to this day,
a nuclear power to this day. My point in all
this was this, Yeah, he's a psychopath. Yeah, it's terrible,
(38:49):
but I want you to remember this. I want you
to remember because there's so much bad news. Everything's bad, right.
We just bombed Surrealrea, we bombed Syria, I mean everything,
everything's going to crap. Right off the bat. It could
be so much worse. It could be so much worse,
(39:10):
for better or worse. You're awake right now, You're alive,
Right now, you're living, probably in the air conditioning or
the heat, whatever you need. Almost undoubtedly you have a
belly full of food or will shortly, depending on what
weirdo diet you're on. I understand this seems like I'm
just trying to look at everything through rose colored glasses.
(39:33):
But you and I have got to take time to
stop and remember it could be so much worse. And
how how's this for a wild You didn't do anything
special to be here. You just happened to win history's lottery,
and we're born in America. Every now and then we
(39:57):
have to stop our blessings. What stopp We have to
count our blessings every now and then stop, smell the roses,
look around, realize. Okay, I realize this is not ideal,
but it could be so much worse. And now it
is time for ask doctor Jesse Friday, how do I
(40:18):
prepare for a huge meal like Thanksgiving? I'll tell you
(40:42):
no word in English language is less convincing than probably.
Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
first date. Sure, we'll probably stay together. Probably, it's been
twenty three minutes since I ate. I can probably swim.
You should wait thirty minutes. Okay, don't tell me what
(41:03):
the joke, cand bramp, I have a cramp. I can
probably hit the green from here? Probably? Can I get
a mulligan ready to go? Hey? Are you sure you're
(41:23):
okay to drive? Yeah? I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

was doing these failure drills today and all that stuff

is really important, I mean, really really important. I'm not
discounting that, but I've known so many people who do
all those things. They take all the necessary steps, and
then they carry with a holster they bought from a
big box hunting store that was made a thousand at

up today. That's right, Chris. I just referred to myself
in the third person using one of the nicknames I
gave myself in your stupid face eight seven seven three

show dot com. You can call live, you can leave
a voicemail, you can send an email. When I say
all over the map, this one may redefine it. I'm
going to give you my real take on masks in masking.
I don't think I've ever laid this out, and it's
(02:07):
not going to be one you're expecting, but I'm gonna
give you my real take on it. Somebody wants to
know whether I'd have rather been in Earnest Shackleton's freezing
Antarctic party or the Donner party that was having steak
for dinner. Somebody wants to know how I prepare for
(02:29):
a big meal like Thanksgiving. And actually I do have
a specific way I prepare for a big meal. Again, unorthodox,
What do you mean, really, Chris? Did you not think
that I was going to plan ahead for a big meal.
I planned my meals out throughout the day to this day.
It drives my wife crazy. We'll be sitting down eating
(02:49):
breakfast on a Saturday and I'll say, so, what do
you want to do for dinner tonight? And She'll just
look at me dumbfounded, like we're not even done eating breakfast.
I like to know, listen, you can't put a price
on anticipation. And anticipation, my friend, anticipation. All right, But
(03:14):
first before we get to that, and look, there are
so many more wild questions today, and they're so good,
they're such great ones. I've been telling people to be
more purposeful about where they spend or don't spend their money.
People have questions about that. Of course, somebody asked a
question about stealing things from communists. I'm going to address that.
(03:36):
Let's go to Korea first, though, the situation on the ground.
Let's talk a little bit about Kim Jong ill. I
know all the Kims kind of blend together. You're an American.
All you've ever known is there's some psychopath with a
bad haircut in charge of North Korea. Kim something nobody
(03:58):
really knows. Just know this. I'm not talking today about
the dictator they have there now. I'm talking about his father,
which you will undoubtedly remember Kim Jong ill is the
current guy's dad, But in order to lay out him,
(04:23):
we have to go to his father and Korea itself.
I don't know if you've heard, but Japan was kind
of hard on its neighbors back in the day, especially
you remember, we've talked about it a thousand times. Japan
was this samurai bushido code run by a showgun, but
(04:46):
kind of the emperor's society, very harsh, very traditionalist, very insular,
no we don't want outside influences here kind of culture.
One day they looked around, saw all these other Asian
cultures and smaller cultures getting colonized, and they, to their credits,
(05:06):
to their credit, said that's not going to happen here.
We're going to set aside some of the traditions in advance.
They set aside the traditions they advanced really fast. Because
they're a hard working, diligent people. They do it really,
really well. And soon they look around and they're not
one of these smaller powers anymore. They're looking around and
(05:30):
they're thinking, what's stopping me from taking that or taking
that or taken that. And part of the whole taken
that thing was Japan took over Korea. It was not
a nice occupation. To put it mildly. You know how
we talk about colonizers, all do it differently. All colonization
(05:51):
is not the same summer, brutally oppressive summer, just kind
of nice, and you should be you should be happy
they're there. Let's just help it out. Here's some schools,
here's some roads. How about running water? Sound good? Japan's
was not not nice, it was well. Look, and I
(06:13):
say this as a person who acknowledges every single person
on the planet holds some prejudice of some kind, because
of your parents, because of your life experiences, whatever the case. Maybe,
and it doesn't have to be skin color, and you
know what, you don't necessarily want to advertise it, but
(06:35):
you have to understand too, that's the human condition. Maybe
you hate tall people, short people, black people, white people, Jews, Muslims, Christians.
Maybe you hate Chinese people, Japanese people, Russian people, whatever
the case, maybe you hold some prejudice in your heart.
So that let me be clear about that before I
say man was japan racist back in the day. May
(06:57):
still be. Look, I'm a fan of their culture, but
let's be honest. The Japanese They viewed the Koreans as
being subhumanly beneath them, not even worthy to shine their shoes.
So Japan's occupation of Korea was horrific. Why am I
talking about that, because it'll help you understand why the
(07:20):
Koreans were so welcoming of a new regime. Japan's was terrible.
They would eliminate the Korean language, eliminate the Korean culture,
so much of Korea's historical landmarks. The Japanese just wiped
it out. I mean, it was awful. It was offul.
I should do a whole show on the Japanese occupation
of Korea. It was terrible. The way they treated the women.
(07:43):
You know, I'm just not getting into it. It It was
really really bad, really bad. Along comes World War Two.
Post World War two, Japan and Germany and the other countries.
While we didn't wipe them out like we did the
quote bad guys after World War One, You're also going
to have to give some things up when you've spent
(08:03):
the last several years slaughtering millions of people around the globe.
One of the things Japan was gonna have to give
up was Korea, which brings us to kill Kim ill Soon.
I on my life. That's the only other name I'm
gonna give you today. There are two Kims. One is Soon,
(08:24):
the grandfather of the current guy. The other one is Jong,
the father of the current guy. You got it, Soon
old or soon old Jong younger but not as young
as the guy. We have understand We all good. That's
the I swear to you, no other names, but you
gotta understand we're going to the dad of the guy
(08:45):
we're supposed that Legol had talked about today. If I
can ever actually get to the story, what was his
story Kim ill Soon. Well, first of all, he was
a Communist, not obviously my favorite people in the world. However,
to their credit, like have to give us the communists
(09:07):
some credit where credit is due. I know, gosh, that
hurts me. Remember that Japanese occupation. We were just talking about.
One of the only groups in the country of Korea
that stood up and violently opposed it wherever they could
were the Communists. No, it's not good. Yes, Communism's terrible.
(09:32):
But to the people in Korea, when you're desperate, when
you're under a brutal occupation, remember what's my rule? Human nature?
They're all the same. You will seek out safety first.
You will seek out a protector first. If you're under
a brutal Japanese occupation and the only guy out there
(09:53):
trying to kill Japanese people and take your culture back
as a communist, you might find yourself more a commodating
to Communist them than you probably should be. Perfect world,
absolutely not. Is that the way it goes. That's the
way it goes. But obviously the Japanese are not just
going to allow him to run wild in there. So
(10:13):
he finds himself in the communist Soviet Union in charge
of a military unit. Now it was a Korean military unit,
but the Soviets, like all Communists, were all about helping
out their communist brothers. They stay unified, and a young
man is born one day in the Soviet Union. We're
(10:34):
going to get to him his brutal occupation and my
real thoughts on masks a little different, hang on truth attitude,
(10:57):
Jesse Kelly, Your heart matters. I don't know if you've
been told that, but it's actually a fairly important organ
helps keep you alive, and you only have one. And
I've been through this in my own life and my
own personal life because health problems, well, specifically heart problems.
(11:19):
Blood pressure problems run in my family. I have to
do extra things. Why wouldn't I eat Superbeats heart shoes.
I have to eat a little better. I have to
work out these aren't options for me, and super Beats
heart choes they increase the benefit of all of that
for me, and they taste good. Full disclosure, I don't
(11:41):
think I could eat them if they tasted like beats.
I eat the pomegranate berry, two of them every single day.
They're fantastic. It's like dessert. Go to get Superbeats dot
com slash Jesse. That's get Superbeats dot com slash Jesse.

(12:03):
next eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven
(12:29):
three Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Should you cut
off a political commentator? Somebody has a specific question about
should you and when you should? And I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you that in a few and that's that's
probably gonna come off as harsh as well. My masks
(12:51):
stuff is going to be controversial. I don't even think
I think everything included my dinner preparation is going to
be controversial. It's not what you think. But first let's
get to Kim Jong Ill. Here. I'll try to hurry
through this because there are so many good questions today.
All Right, he's born and actually he was born in
the Soviet Union. It's pretty funny. Later on when they're
(13:14):
trying to make him like this god king, they make
up some weird story. They're so weird about how he
was born in some sacred mountain in Korea and started
walking after three weeks and stuff like that. They're so dumb.
Just a quick side note, Kim Jong il, the level
of propaganda the North Koreans are subjected to Kim Jong Ill.
(13:34):
You know what they say about his golf game. He
went golfing once. He played eighteen holes of golf, he
got eleven hole in ones, shot thirty eight under par,
and then retired and never golfed again. That's what we're
dealing with here. And these I mean, they're so freaking wild.
Wait till I finished this today. All right, But let's
(13:55):
go back to the dad first. Remember son sons? The
dad Jong's the son. Wow, that's going to get confusing,
all right, whatever son is the dad. I really didn't
think this through to be Frank, I need to start
preparing more for the show. But the father is the
communist rebel. Post World War two, we do that thing
(14:18):
we did post World War two, and Korea is split.
South Korea is very much American. That's why they're such
a close allied to this date. There are American troops there.
It is a free place. I've never been, but I'm
told South Korea is really cool. Told it's very clean,
very cool, good food, good people. That's what I'm told.
(14:39):
I can't testify to that. North Korea absolute dump. Why
because post World War two we let the Russians in
the Chinese have it. Now, here's the problem. When you're
North Korea and you're a communist and now the dad
is running it. His son is the one running the thing,
(15:00):
Kim ilsn he's running it. You take over post World
War two. Obviously, the Japanese occupation with stuff world War
two was stuff. You don't have money, so you are
forced to accept a lot of outside help and influence
from the Soviets, from the Chinese, and they do when
they start really learning how to clench in this communist power.
(15:24):
And the father, Kim ill Son is starting to become
a dictator in very very very short order. And as
a dictator, he is enjoying the spoils of being announced
a dictator when he's not building a nation. Remember, he's
building a North Korea from scratch. Now he's building it
(15:45):
into a dump, but he's building it from scratch. When
he's not doing that well, he's not being a father
to his son. He's out with the lady folk of
the country and partying and doing things ditters do well. Now,
that creates an interesting situation because you have a young
(16:07):
man who apparently is already a very twisted up individual
or going down that way. Kim Jong Ill, as a
young man born in the Soviet Union, comes to North
Korea when I believe he's six years old. His dad
is now the all powerful supreme leader. You, Kim Jong Ill,
you want for nothing, absolutely, you live in palaces right
(16:30):
off the bat. You get whatever you want one day,
and there are a bunch of rumors surrounding this. Kim
Jong Ill, as a very very young boy, I believe
he was seven years old, is out swimming with his
younger brother, and his younger brother didn't make it back
home that day. He drowned the two main rumors surrounding
(16:53):
it were Kim Jong il, who was a nutjob sociopath.
Very early, either he drowned him in self or he
watched and smiled as his brother drowned in front of him.
That's the type of person we're dealing with, and that's
the type of person who's about to achieve full power
in North Korea. Now. I guess credit to Kim ill Son,
(17:17):
the father. He didn't tell his son, you're going to
be supreme ruler this one day, and he frankly wasn't
even sure about that. He had remarried, he had now
had stepbrothers, he had other options. Remember, this wasn't just
a blood thing yet. So Kim ill Son, he's traveling
(17:38):
the country his younger, his psychopathic son, is already drinking
as a teenager, already taking whatever he wants whenever he wants,
and becomes obsessed with movies. But she didn't know that
Kim Jong it was obsessed with movies. And when I
(17:58):
say obsessed with movies, remember the North Korea then in
now is almost like a gigantic gangster state. Obsessed with
movies for him meant I'm gonna have my ambassadors in
every country. Go grab the biggest films in every country,
bootleg a copy of it for me because I don't
want to pay for it, and send them to me.
He supposedly had a library of twenty thousand movies. They
(18:21):
say it might be the biggest movie library in the history.
Man kind kind of cool, right, qu quit admiring the guy.
And he lives on villas. He lives on seaside villas.
He lives a complete life of luxury because of his father,
obsessed with gaining power and obsessed with movies and obsessed
with himself. Of course, he gets sent off to college,
(18:44):
where they say he was a bit of a party
animal and yet achieved perfect grades. It's weird all that happened.
And now we know from testimony afterwards, his own professors
would do his assignments for him because it's North Korea
and everybody knows who this guy is and they know
who his dad is. In I don't feel like having
(19:06):
my fingernails pulled out, so I'm gonna go ahead and
give this guy an a again today. Good job. So
I knew you could do it. But Kim Jong Ill
graduates college and he's at the point now he wants
to impress his father big time. He's still at the
point he has to impress his father if he wants
to take the reins one day. Now, let's go to
(19:26):
communism for a second. As you know then and now,
propaganda's everything. You have to constantly be indoctrinating the people
around you. You not only have to indoctrinate the people
around you, you have to make dang sure if you're
gonna sell communism that they can't hear any other options,
because if you're giving any other options, you're not choosing communism. Well,
(19:50):
how does that turn out? How it turns out in
a place like North Korea. You're taking films and you're
trying to make them to promote communism. Only your films
aren't really that good. Why aren't they that good? Will
you keep killing or imprisoning anybody who has real artistic talent?
(20:11):
You see, they're trying to compete with South Korea at
this point, they're always competing with South Korea, and South
Korea they're killing it. They're winning all these international movie awards.
South Korea is killing it, and that's only making North
Korea more angry. And speaking of South Korea, North Korea,
this relationship. I'm not doing the show on it today,
but realize, Kim Iill's son, the father, he invaded South
(20:36):
Korea out of nowhere to unify all of Korea under
one flag, and he almost won. He pushes them clear
back down. The Americans dead step in and push him
clear back into the North. Then the Chinese step in
and push us back down to the south, and now
the country's forever split. And remember there was never a
treaty signed. Technically they're still at war. There was a
(20:58):
little like ceasefire, and that's all it is. That's why
you have this situation today. So there's this rivalry, this
intense rivalry with North Korea and South Korea. It's not
passive at all. It's aggressive, as you're going to find
out here in just a few minutes. It's very very aggressive.
So as the North Korean you want the best propaganda,
(21:19):
you want to start winning films. And there's something else
that happens in communist regime, something really really ugly, something
you need to pay attention to. Might sound a little
bit familiar after all. All right, I'm gonna try to
finish this story so I can get to all these questions, angam,

Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three
(23:40):
Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. Kim Jong Ill
rising up through the ranks because his dad wanted better films,
and there was another problem with North Korean films. You see,
you know how the commies always eat each other. Once
they take total power, they eat each other. There's always
(24:03):
a purge of some kind going on. And you're starting
to just glimpse this because you and I can't understand
fully what this feels like yet, but you're starting to
get glimpses of it. In America, fear seems to rule everybody.
Fear of getting in trouble, fear of saying the wrong thing,
(24:23):
fear doing this wrong, fear of doing that wrong. People
were getting more and more skittish, and with good reason.
You know who was afraid in countries like North Korea then,
and now you know who's afraid everyone. The supreme dictator
in charge of everything lives in constant fear of being overthrown.
(24:48):
Other people the elite's the one you have a good life,
the elite members of the communist society. And these are
the guys who were spoiled. You know, everyone else is
starving to death. These are the guys was staked in
fancy cars and fancy houses and pretty girls. They live
in fear every single day in places like that, not
(25:08):
just in fear of maybe I'm going to do something wrong,
and fear of my best friend does something wrong. Because
in North Korea, then and now you go down to
North Korea has a strict family criminal policy. Dad screws up,
Mom screws up, Sun screws up. Aliyah. Get in the truck.
(25:32):
It's off to the gulags. We may murder you, we
may starve you to death. And you know, you know
how evil this is. They blame the kids who aren't
born yet, kids who are born in the labor camps,
born in the gulags. They'll leave those kids in there
their entire lives. That's right, Chris, three generations, they'll leave them.
(25:54):
Imagine imagine the existence you have. You think you've had
a rough day, I've had that too. You know you're
feeling sorry for yourself. Oh I'm a truck won't start
us dab matteau. I'm sick, I got the flu, I
got well, whatever the case. Maybe you think you're having
a rough day. There are people alive in this world
today who are born in a North Korean gulag and
(26:18):
will never see the outside of those walls until the
day they die. Wrap your mind around that. But what
fear does that create? You can be the biggest of
big shot in the elite communist party. And maybe your
son who you set off to college, maybe he goes
to Europe once to go to college in Europe. What's
(26:39):
they're allowed to do once you get to the matures, son,
go experienced, experienced Paris, enjoy the women, make sure she
has her armpits shaved, or whatever the case may be.
Maybe your son decides he's gonna start dabbling in some
leftist politics up there, kind of fascinated by it. You
know who has spies everywhere, including on their own people
(27:02):
North Korea. One of those spies comes back home. Excuse me,
a supreme leader, did you know that this head general
that his son is going to All of a sudden,
that general has a car pull up in the middle
of the night in front of his house and he's
in handcuffs, his wife's in handcuffs, their whole family's gone,
their mansions given to somebody else. That's the culture of fear.
(27:23):
And that's not even the peasants. You're just trying to
survive from day to day. A culture of fear. Well,
the same thing happened with the propaganda, with the movie
propaganda in North Korea. Under Kim Ill's son, he found
out a bunch of the people in the film industry
were friends with some guy who was going to try
(27:44):
to take over. Pick Gone. You're all dead or in prison.
You need completely new management in the film industry. He
looks for volunteers within the Communist party and who sticks
their hand up, but his wayward son him Jong Ill,
a dad who's the movie expert around here. Trust me,
(28:05):
I got it. I got it. He takes over and
he's really really really good at it, really good at it.
He's just an artist by nature. Now he can only
be so good because you can only get so much talent.
And he's getting frustrated right because he wants to be
(28:26):
the best. And this is a guy who watches CNN,
who's seen every big American movie and every other foreign film.
This is a guy who knows what good is and
what isn't good. So what do you do if you're
North Korea and you'd like to improve the talent level
of your films? And yet it's very hard to find
(28:47):
that stuff home grown because you're a bunch of brutally
oppressive comedies. You know, there's a reason it's not in
your imagination. There's a reason entertainment in America has gone
so far downhill today. It's because the Commies are taken
over it. They ruined comedy, they r film, their ruin everything. Well,
you figure out a way to import some talent. There
was an actress in South Korea who Kim Jong Ill
(29:10):
thought was extremely talented. Well, remember when I said there
were spies everywhere, assassin's operatives, terrorists everywhere. They decided they
wanted this South Korean actress to come be part of
North Korea. She gets invited to come meet with a
producer in Hong Kong, spends a couple of days wined
and dined. Finally she's invited out to this special seaside villa.
(29:35):
She arrives out there by taxi, doesn't really see anything.
She's on the beach and then she hears a couple
of boats pulling up, and then she loses consciousness. And
then she wakes up and she's on a North Korean
boat on the way to North Korea. Finds her boat
(29:55):
pulling in the dock of Kim Jong il, who's standing
there to greet her. Where she there has to live
and be his companion for eight years before she's able
to escape, helping him make films. Oh, it gets worse, Chris,
it gets the stories of these people absolutely insane, insane.
(30:19):
They create This is as Kim Jong ill was coming
up and he's rising through the party, they create something
hardly anybody knows about it called Room thirty five. Room
thirty five. This is the spy assassin terrorists network. And
let me tell you then and now, North Korea is
obsessed with assassination, with spies, with terrorists, with spy recruitments.
(30:44):
How obsessed are they with spy recruitment? While I'll put
it to you this way, they came very very close
to striking a deal with Japan at one point to
do trade. A lot of historical tension there. Well, Kim
Jong Ill, out of the blue, chooses to us this
event as an opportunity to quote confess some of the
(31:04):
things they've done to Japanese citizens. You see a lot
of Japanese citizens seem to be disappearing. One of them
was even a thirteen year old girl. Why were they
disappearing Because the North Koreans would send spy kidnappers over
to Japan because they wanted spies in Japan. Why not
kidnapped some Japanese children, put them through your kami brainwashing,
(31:30):
and then send them back to Japan to spy for
your nation. They look Japanese, they don't look Korean. One
of the big international incidents. You can look it up now.
They admitted this thirteen year old girl Japanese. They lured
her away after school one day, kidnapped her, drove her
to North Korea, got her completely indoctrinated and their communist
(31:55):
spy network. But about ten years later she couldn't take
it anymore and killed herself. And there's a laundry list
of Japanese citizens who have gone missing, and they don't
only do it in Japan. Yeah, Chris is looking it
up now. Oh yeah, it's a long long list. You
don't realize how bad these people are. How much they
want to kill people? Did I mention assassination? Oh, We're
(32:18):
about to talk about assassination. And then I'm gonna wrap
this up because I have a lot of asked doctor
Jesse questions my meal prep for a big man, hang,
(32:48):
Jesse Kelly. One in three adults has pre diabetes one
in three. That means it could be you, your football buddy,
your football buddy, or you you're best man, you're a
worst man. You you're a dog walker, you're a cat jugger.
While one in three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis,
(33:11):
pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at
do I have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I
have pre diabetes dot org? Wait? Did they just say
one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three
point three three three percent of adults. That means it

me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's seven
(33:33):
members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait,
the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol,
or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take the
risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot Org,
brought to you by the AD Council and it's pre
Diabetes Awareness Partners eight seven seven three seven seven four
(34:14):
three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com.
It's and ask doctor Jesse Friday. I'm going to get
there in just a couple of minutes. I'm wrapping this up.
There too many good questions. But Kim Jong ill As
he's coming up. Remember he's not Supreme Ruler yet his
dad still is. He realizes he needs some muscle around him,
(34:34):
he needs some help around him on top of the
spy assassination terrorist network. He creates this bodyguard force around him,
and there are videos now out of this bodyguard force
videos that have been released. He is obsessed that these
are pretty much the baddest dudes on the planet. The
(34:57):
training to get in and the training once you're in
is so comically over the top. But I guess effective
and what I all You want to know what I
mean by comically over the top, Chris, Well, here's one
for you. There's a video of a guy headbutting a
nail into a board. I'm not making that up. On
my life, my life, on my life. They're throwing axes
(35:20):
and knives at them, real ones and having them to
dodge it. They're standing there shirtless, you know, put their
arms up, flexing like you'd show your women your biceps,
do you know? Get are going whatever, and they're they're
breaking sticks on their arms and ribs. They're headbutting and
karate chopping bricks and boards. Their weapons training is supposedly extensive,
(35:47):
and to his credit, Kim Jong Ill himself was all
about that weapons training life, hours and hours and hours
on the range. He puts this squad of absolute assassins
around him and you're not allowed to come close to him.
He's at one of his villas one time, all his
bodyguards are around him. A couple of fishermen accidentally drift
(36:08):
too close, and the bodyguards just kill him, just mow
him down, and then of course tell the family, Oh,
they drowned at sea. That's what it's like. And remember
that whole South Korea there's never been a peace steel thing. Yeah,
they still want the South koreanstead. Seven South Korean diplomats
go to Rangoon for some ceremony. It doesn't matter. Boom
(36:32):
bomb goes off. Four of them die. Who do they
bust at the scene a North Korean agent another international incident.
They gather this group of assassins North Korean commandos. They
sneak across the border at night, heading down to kill
the president of South Korea. They would have gotten him too,
(36:56):
except they were in the mount well, they think they
would have gotten him. The guys were there sleeping in
the mountains because they had to walk so far. Of
a couple farm boys, I think it was four of them,
happened to come across them. The North Korean commandos capture them,
but choose instead of killing them to tell them about
the greatness of communism and make them swear allegiance to it.
(37:19):
The boys do crafty devils. They let them go. The
boys promptly run to the police, so they elevate I'm
not making this up. They elevate the level of security
all around the capitol. The commandos try to get into
the capitol, and by the grace of God, they are stopped,
but ninety two South Koreans die in the shootout as
they try to get in. They were within one hundred
meters of the president's mansion. The communists finally, the commune
(37:43):
commandos finally retreat to the mountains, but the South Korean
Army tracks them down and they end up killing every
single one of them. But I want you to understand
this as we wrap this up. Kim Jong Ill took
over nineteen ninety four. They were developing nuclear power because
they've been given a nuclear plant, buy the Soviets for
for energy, and of course the North Koreans look around
(38:06):
and think, wow, might as well see if we can't
do a little more with this. It's a big deal.
It's an international incident. A lot of people will remember it.
Jimmy Carter, actually, to his credit, goes over arranges to
give some aid, some economic aid to North Korea if
you will just back off the nuclear program. Oh. They
(38:27):
agree to do that, but instead Kim Jong Ill builds
a massive nuclear facility, a secret one in the mountains,
and now North Korea is a power to this day,
a nuclear power to this day. My point in all
this was this, Yeah, he's a psychopath. Yeah, it's terrible,
(38:49):
but I want you to remember this. I want you
to remember because there's so much bad news. Everything's bad, right.
We just bombed Surrealrea, we bombed Syria, I mean everything,
everything's going to crap. Right off the bat. It could
be so much worse. It could be so much worse,
(39:10):
for better or worse. You're awake right now, You're alive,
Right now, you're living, probably in the air conditioning or
the heat, whatever you need. Almost undoubtedly you have a
belly full of food or will shortly, depending on what
weirdo diet you're on. I understand this seems like I'm
just trying to look at everything through rose colored glasses.
(39:33):
But you and I have got to take time to
stop and remember it could be so much worse. And
how how's this for a wild You didn't do anything
special to be here. You just happened to win history's lottery,
and we're born in America. Every now and then we
(39:57):
have to stop our blessings. What stopp We have to
count our blessings every now and then stop, smell the roses,
look around, realize. Okay, I realize this is not ideal,
but it could be so much worse. And now it
is time for ask doctor Jesse Friday, how do I
(40:18):
prepare for a huge meal like Thanksgiving? I'll tell you
(40:42):
no word in English language is less convincing than probably.
Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
first date. Sure, we'll probably stay together. Probably, it's been
twenty three minutes since I ate. I can probably swim.
You should wait thirty minutes. Okay, don't tell me what
(41:03):
the joke, cand bramp, I have a cramp. I can
probably hit the green from here? Probably? Can I get
a mulligan ready to go? Hey? Are you sure you're
(41:23):
okay to drive? Yeah? I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message
brought to you by NITZA and AD Council. Your holster
(41:49):
is way more important than you think it is. It's
just way more important than you think it is. What look,
and I get that the holster's not the sexy part
of carrying firearms. Or you want to talk about your
weapon and your ammunition. You want to talk about your
safety training. I want to talk about how you did
it at the range. Oh, look at my groups. I
was doing these failure drills today and all that stuff
(42:09):
is really important, I mean, really really important. I'm not
discounting that, but I've known so many people who do
all those things. They take all the necessary steps, and
then they carry with a holster they bought from a
big box hunting store that was made a thousand at
a time. Please don't put your life in one of
those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems because
