This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Let's have some fun.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
On a Monday. I have missed you so freaking much.
Happy New Year. It's twenty twenty six. I'm so excited
for everything. The year is going to bring the ups
the downs. We will ride it out together. I'm excited
for tonight and tomorrow and every other day. In case
(00:46):
you can't tell, I've been dying to get back, but
I am gear. There's so much to do tonight, there's
no way we're going to get through it all. Let
me just give you a couple guarantees on things we're
definitely going to get to. First, an hour from now
is going to be Medal of Honor Monday, as it
always is, we will honor a hero. We're going to
(01:07):
open the show, and it's going to take a while
talking about Venezuela. Not just the operation, of course, we're
going to nerd out on that. We're going to talk
about the reasons, the real reasons, what's going on globally,
what's the Trump plan, what might be next, what are
the potential problems.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That we have?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So many things we're going to get to there. Tim
Walls announces he's not running for re election. What happened,
we'll discuss it. That New York City's going to get
worse than we thought. We're going to have to go
ahead and destroy Hilton Hotels the way we destroyed bud Light.
All that emails, so much more coming up tonight on
(01:45):
the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now, I've been nerding
out since it happened. I would venture a guest that
you have been nerding out since it happened. I woke up,
woke up. I forget what which morning was. What was
it Wednesday? It doesn't matter what morning it was. I
don't do details. None of that's changed. I wake up
(02:08):
and I did the exact same thing you do when
you wake up. Don't lie, I know you do. I
woke up, rolled over, grab my phone. In my defense,
that's where my alarm is. I grabbed my phone to
turn the alarm off, and I think I had fifteen
text messages from various friends. I didn't know it was
(02:29):
going down. You didn't know it was going down. Trump
got Maduro last night. Trump arrested Madurea last night. We
have what in Venezuela. So I know you already know
the story, So I won't cover the story, but I
do want to bring this up before we go on.
(02:49):
We don't fully appreciate how elite our military is compared
to almost pretty much every other military on the planet.
And there are a lot of reasons for that, which
we'll talk about in a moment. But because if you're
an American, if you're an American citizen, I know we
(03:10):
have people listening all over the world, but if you're
an American citizen, you've probably only ever lived in America,
and because of that, if that's all you've ever known,
you don't appreciate the differences. To be honest with you,
I never fully appreciated the differences until I joined the
Marine Corps. Joined the Marine Corps, I trained with Marines,
(03:31):
We go fight with Marines, and then there's a period
of time in Iraq where there's a transition and now
some European powers are coming in and they're sending in
troops to do this or that, and I remember being
mortified at the troops from other countries. Mortified, not just
the Europeans, by the way. I remember before we went
(03:53):
to Thailand, we were told you're going to train with
the Thai Marines, and immediately I'm thinking probably the same thing.
You're thinking, Wow, they're probably going to be some stud
jungle fighters. That they were pathetic. They couldn't even hunt
their own gear, whining all the pathetic. The Spanish came
in to relieve us from some compound in Iraq, Spain,
(04:16):
I realized they're not some military juggernaut. But you're thinking,
probably pretty switched on guys, at least modern pathetic. Our
military is incredible. We don't think of ourselves probably as
a Spartan like culture, but we have a military culture
in this country, a rugged military culture that comes from
(04:40):
our DNA, It comes from our heritage, It comes from
our love of the outdoors, our love of firearms. We
have a society full of men primed to join the
military if they are willing. We have the resources, the
financial resources to buy the best training money can buy.
(05:01):
You got all the bullets you want. We just have
elite military personnel. Now, let's understand something about an operation
of this size. You could argue, let's call it a raid.
You could argue historically, this is the greatest raid that
has ever been pulled off. When you consider a couple things,
(05:25):
consider this Venezuela knew we were there. Venezuela assumed we
were coming in Venezuela is No. They are not some
top tier military, but they have the assistance of you
would probably say the number two and three best militaries
(05:46):
on the planet. That would be Russia and China. We're
better than Russia and China, but if you were ranking them,
Russia and China would be second and third. Russia and
China were not only invested there, Russia and China were
sending equipment there, equipment specifically designed to stop the United
(06:07):
States military from doing anything like it was doing anything.
They knew we were coming. They had been supplied by
the second and third best militaries in the world, trained
by the second and third best militaries in the world
to stop us from doing it. And still we flew
helicopters into their capital in the middle of the night,
(06:29):
killed all the security around their president, and jacked him
and his wife out of the mansion, threw them on
a ship, and shipped him back to the United States
of America without losing a single man. Don't go by
the way in case you think this is all gonna
be sunshine, It's not. We're going to discuss potential problems
(06:51):
and what's going on. We're gonna get to that. I
just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how elite
this was. And I'm not just talking about the Delta
guys on the ground. I'm going to play something for
you've probably already heard it. This is Dan Cain. He
is well thought of by the actual war fighters in
our military. His nickname is Raisin Cain, and on this show,
(07:15):
that's how he will be referred to from now on.
I'm going to give Raisin Cain the floor. Now. I
want you before I play him, I want you to
think about this. If I gave you twenty people and
I had you organize an operation, not a military operation,
an operation where one guy had to walk into this
(07:36):
office and he had to get a stapler, and the
next guy had to walk into a different office and
he had to get a blue pen, and the next
guy had to walk into a different office and he
had to get a package of printer paper. Do you
think you could pull that off? How much time and
training do you think it would take to make sure
everybody knew their duty. It's more complicated in it than
you think I'll give you a little example. In fact,
(07:56):
it's from my Christmas break. I didn't tell you this before, Hanks.
I can't tell people when I'm traveling beforehand. We went
to New York City for Christmas this year. We love
New York City. We assume we're never going to go
back now that man Donnie's going to destroy the place.
We wanted a couple more days to go see the sites,
eat some hot dogs, look at the Christmas tree, the
normal thing. As part of our New York City trip,
(08:17):
we decided to do something we'd never done before. We
went to the Empire State Building. There were nine of
us in our party. It was a big group. I
had all the tickets on my phone. In order to
get to the top of the Empire State Building, you
had to go through I think there were five, but
don't quote me on that, five different little turnstyle things
(08:38):
where you had to scan the ticket. One person walks through,
scan the ticket, one person walks through. I'm standing there,
I scan, I'm giving orders. I scan, I'm giving orders.
We screwed it up four times on the way in.
Four times. Someone was enlisting, someone walked and walk fast enough.
Someone tried to double it four times. That's just scanning
a ticket to get in the Empire state building. I
(09:00):
want you to listen to the United States military and
their operation they just pulled off. Here's Raisin King.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreete precise,
and conducted during the darkest hours of January tewod and
was in the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal.
An extraction so precise it involved more than one hundred
and fifty aircraft launching across the Western Hemisphere in close coordination,
(09:29):
all coming together in time and place to layer effects
for a single purpose to get an interdiction force into
downtown Caraclus while maintaining the element of tactical surprise. Let
me talk a little bit about the preparation. After months
of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and
(09:52):
understand how he moved, where he lived, where he traveled,
what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets?
In early December, our force was set pending a series
of aligned events. The force included F twenty two's F
thirty fives, F eighteen's, EA eighteens, E twos, B one
(10:15):
bombers and other support aircraft, as well as numerous remotely
piloted drones. As the force began to approach Caracas, the
Joint Air Component began dismantling and disabling the air defense
systems in Venezuela, employing weapons to ensure the safe passage
of the helicopters into the target area. We arrived at
(10:38):
Maduro's compound.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He goes on for another minute. I'm going to let
him go. This is amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
At one one am Eastern Standard time or two to
one am Caracas local time, and the apprehension force descended
into Maduro's compound and moved with speed, precision, and discipline
towards their objective and isolated the area to ensure the
safety and security of the ground force while apprehending the
(11:06):
indicted persons. On arrival into the target area, the helicopters
came under fire, and they replied with that fire with
overwhelming force and self defense. One of our aircraft was
hit but remained fliable, and as the President said earlier today,
all of our aircraft came home. Maduro and his wife,
both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by
(11:28):
the Department of Justice, assisted by our incredible US military
with professionalism and precision, which with no loss of US life.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I am so nerding out right now we continue on.
We'll talk about bigger picture things next. Feeling a little stocky,
follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's Show.
It is Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday. Oh
my gosh, I'm so excited to be here. And remember, yes,
(12:01):
I'm back. You can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com your love, your hate, your death, threats, your
history suggestions which you keep sending in. I haven't decided
on one yet. We'll get to all that stuff in
a little bit. A couple more things really quickly on
the military operation, and then we'll discuss the reasons why
and the potential pitfalls and things like that. First, we're
(12:25):
all flesh and blood human beings. And when it comes
to a military operation, what's the thing we love the most?
The Delta Force guys, the Navy seals, but this was
Delta Force. But the guy, the big, the big tough
guys with the guns. Every dude in the back of
(12:46):
his mind secretly kind of wants to be that guy.
Thinks maybe he could have been that guy. Every woman
in the back of her mind has thought, my I'd
like to go on a date with that guy. It's
human nature. It's human nature. They do all the cool stuff,
they have the cool stuffed human nature, and they deserve
all the credit in the world. However, remember there are
(13:08):
so many things that go into an operation like this,
things that we never think about. Raisin Kin talked about
the intelligence gathering. Remember, before any Delta Force guy gets
to fast rope out of a helo under the roof
of a compound, long before he gets to do that,
(13:30):
there's another guy. There's another girl on the ground writing
down when Maduro leaves for work where he likes to
eat breakfast, and that person if caught in a hostile
foreign country, well, Venezuela's famous for their torture. Now you
realize that, like any evil, disgusting communist regime, when they
(13:53):
get their hands on you, you will not like it.
Think about they that takes to be sitting in the
woods outside of Maduro's compound watching. Maybe you've chosen to
become a CIA asset or any one of the other
intelligence gathering agencies we have, and you're a Venezuelan. You've
(14:15):
chosen to work with them. You risk everything for that.
Now let's set that aside. Let's not ignore the pilots,
not just not just the fancy top gun stuff, helicopter pilots.
You know how brave it is to be in a helicopter.
(14:38):
You ain't moving that fast, low people firing machine guns
up at you. You know you are one RPG in
the tail rotor away from dying in a burning blaze
on the ground at night in hostile territory. It takes
(15:01):
a tremendous amount of guts to go do things like that.
And as I said, the Delta Force guys deserve all
the credit in the world. Make sure we take a
moment of appreciation to realize there's a lot of people,
a lot of people who risked dying to go pull
(15:22):
something like that off, hard to plan for, hard to
pull off in a very very dangerous thing, To go
in at midnight in a hostile land and grab someone,
it's impressive. Now, now let's have a much longer talk
(15:42):
than all that. Now that I'm done nerding out, let's
talk about the why, because you know you're hearing a
lot of things like this, but.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
We're going to be rebuilding and we're not spending money
out of the oil. Companies are going to go in,
they're going to spend money. They're we're going to take
back the oil that frankly we should have taken back
a long time ago. A lot of money is coming
out of the ground. We're gonna get reimbursed for all
of that. We're gonna get reimbursed for everything that we spend.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, you're hearing a lot of things about it. It's
the oil, it's the drugs, it's fatanyl Okay, is that true?
Kind of yeah, but that's not the real reason. We'll
talk about the real reason before we do that. I
know for a fact that you are probably a little
stick or shocked with the old credit card bill right now.
(16:33):
No different in my house. We've took a vacation, Christmas gifts.
I don't I know what if I could put a
thousand dollars in your pocket. The average family when they
switch to puretalk saves a thousand dollars a year. I
can't pay your credit card bill, only you can do that.
But why not switch your cell service to pure talk?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But I need good service. Pure Talk's on the same network.
They're on the same number. I don't want to switch phones.
Totally get it. I don't want to switch phones. When
I switched to Pure Talk, I didn't have to switch phones.
And neither do you keep your phone, keep your number
if you let's say you're not good at technology. I
get it. Neither am I. They're American customer service people
(17:18):
will walk you through it, and they won't make you
feel dumb. Make the switch you feel better about yourself.
Pick up your phone right now, dial pound two five
zero and say save now. That'll save you an additional
fifty percent off your first month pound two five zero
and say save now. Switch to Pure Talk. We'll be
(17:42):
back next.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Vaccian, It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday.
Do not forget. If you missed any part of the show,
you can download it. Iheard Spotify iTunes, and don't worry.
I'm back and I'm not going anywhere for a while.
You me were gonna hang for a while now. The
(18:08):
why why Venezuela? What is it is it about? It's
about the drugs. There's a lot of talk about drugs.
It's about fentondel it's about the oil. Lots of that
talckets the oil we need, the oil. Venezuela's so much oil. Well,
there's some of that. Trump kind of gave it away
a little bit when he talked about this.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we've
superseded it by a lot, by a real lot. They
now call it the don Road Document. I don't know,
it's uh Monroe doctrine.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
We sort of forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It was very important, but we forgot about it. We
don't forget about it anymore. Under our new national security strategy,
American dominance in the Western hemisphere will never be questioned again.
Won't happen?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, let's do a little background, shall we to understand
what's happening, and why it's happening, and why. If you
were Mexico, if you're Columbia, if your Cuba, you are
probably having some sleepless nights right about now. What is
the Monroe Doctrine? Well, back in the eighteen hundreds, I
(19:21):
don't have to worry about the nerdy details. We had
a president named James Monroe. That's what it's named after.
Before we get to James, before we get to the
Monroe doctrine. Let's go even further back than that. The
founding fathers of this country all had European heritage. That's
something important to understand. European heritage. They grew up, they
(19:45):
grew up watching something. They grew up watching Europe fighting
with each other all the time, the various countries of
Europe always having a squabble about this or that or territory.
They're always fighting all the time. If you were to
do a military history show on Europe fighting European countries
(20:08):
fighting each other, I don't think you could fit it
in in a year. It would take that long to
get into the endless conflicts. And the founders realized that
endless wars drain the treasury, They deprive people of liberty
in the end, because you always have to do something
during wartime that deprives people of things. And the founders
(20:30):
realize that as they established this country clear across the
Atlantic Ocean from Europe, as they established this country, something
that would completely recap the new country they were establishing
would be getting involved in European wars, really foreign wars
in general. Why are we getting involved? They're always in
(20:54):
a fight. It would be like you that couple you know,
maybe you're related to them, maybe they're neighbors. Maybe that's
something that couple you know who's always having some drama
blowout fight. They're always about to get a divorce, there
always is. They're always that picture you trying to stick
your nose in it, or maybe you do do this
every single time Tom and Susy had a knockdown drag
(21:17):
out after too much veno on a Friday night. What
would that mean for you and your happiness in your life.
It would be miserable, wouldn't it. The Founders had exactly
that view about getting involved in foreign wars. Their view was, ay,
we will protect America at all times. We will protect
our trade at all times. We will trade with virtually
(21:40):
everyone at all times. But foreign wars are not our problem.
If you are a nerdy history person kind of like me,
I would invite you. I'm not going to read it
here to read George Washington's farewell address. Look, you can
use it on the Google machine. Look it up on
the Google machine. George. It's very short. George Washington's farewell address.
(22:03):
He lays it out that was it was not even
controversial that was the doctrine for foreign policy in this country.
That brings us to James Monroe. He was president in
the eighteen twenties. Again, the details don't matter. That's what
the Monroe doctrine comes from. The Monroe doctrine wasn't necessarily special.
(22:25):
It was really just Monroe reasserting what our foreign policy is. Hey,
we are not getting involved in Europe. We're not involved.
The only way we're going to get involved with European
countries is if if they come start some things over here.
(22:47):
Now pause, what would they be starting over here? What
was Monroe talking about? Well, remember this was the colonial age.
This was the era still on the planet where powerful
countries would find foreign lands that had resources or locations
things they wanted and they would go conquer them. That's
(23:11):
what colonizing is. It's conquest by other means. Really, yeah,
people were going to die usually, but eventually it works
out depending on the country doing the colonizing, where you
step in and you decide, hey, your resources, they're now
our resources. You work for us. That's what colonizing is.
This was going on all over the planet at the time,
(23:32):
and before that, European countries, some of them hostile to
our interests were still sticking their nose in countries that
were close to us. South America most definitely, the Monroe
doctrine was hey, hey, hey, we're not going to get
involved in your stuff over there. If you start getting
(23:54):
involved in our stuff over here, it's going to be
a problem. We're going to have a problem. The Monroe doctrine, essentially,
for the one oh one version, is in our hemisphere,
in our neighborhood, we will not have trouble. You want
to throw used tires and things like that in your
(24:16):
front lawn across town, you're welcome to do so. Trash
your area. You live across the street from me, and
try that. We're going to have a problem. Now. That
brings us to Russia and China and Iran if we're
being honest, but we'll focus on Russia in China for
the longest time, this started really with the Communists, surprise, surprise,
(24:39):
the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party. They recognized that
South America, really, i'll just call it Latin America. Latin
America was an opportunity for them, not just an opportunity
to acquire resources. Latin America presented them with an opportunity
to take over governments because there's so much Spanish colonialism
(25:03):
that took place in Latin America, and the Spanish did
colonialism worse than anybody. They just sucked at it. They
would just go steal all the gold and abuse everyone,
and they just weren't good at it. And so you
had all these disaffected, miserable people. You had all these unstable,
corrupt governments. And China in the Soviet Union at the time,
(25:25):
recognized this is an opportunity for us to not just
take power take resources in these places. This is an
opportunity for us to essentially set up shop, set up
a fortress, if you will, right next to our number
one enemy, the United States of America. They always hated America.
(25:47):
They always wanted to take down America. And if you're
going to invade, what do you have to do first?
You have to move next door. And they have spent
decadess moving in to Latin America. Venezuela, especially Venezuela's more recent,
(26:09):
but Venezuela is just the best example. It's not just
the cocaine, the fentanyl, the oil. The truth is Russia
and China and Iran. They realize it's extremely beneficial to
have a nice little setup just south of America, just
(26:31):
in case we need such a thing someday. And of
course the oil does matter. I don't want to be
dismissive of that. And it does matter that they're poisoning
America on purpose with the help of China with endless drugs.
So what happened? What are we doing? Bill? Things are
changing rapidly on the planet because of the Trump administration.
(26:52):
We'll continue on this next Mists catch up kellyshow dot com.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Monday,
only ten minutes away from Medal of Honor Monday, which
I love and I know you love, where we will
honor a hero. Do not forget. You can send us
(27:14):
your love, your hate, your death threats, whatever you would like.
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. I will get to
those at some point in time. I want to finish
chopping away at this. So we have decided, the Trump
administration has decided correctly that we are going to start
taking back control of our hemisphere, our neighborhood. Why is
(27:38):
Donald Trump talking about things like this?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Cuba is ready to fall, Yes, Cuban looks like it's
ready to fall.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't know how they if they're gonna hold up.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
By the way, you have to do something with Mexico.
Mexico has to get there pack together because they're pouring
through Mexico and we're gonna have to do something. We
love Mexico to do it. They're capable of doing it,
but unfortunately the cartels are very strong.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And Mexican very simple.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
As a president, So Columbian President Gustavo Petro, you know,
a couple of weeks ago you said he's got to
watch it, and today he said he's not concerned about
anything happening to him in the aftermath of this operation.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So just what your messages.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Well, he has cocaine mills, he has a factories where
he makes cocaine, and yeah, I think I stick by
my first statement. He's making cocaine, they're sending it into
the United States. So he does have to watch his.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Look. That's not the first time he's mentioned Colombia. It's
been on his lips a lot late.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Columbia is very sick too, run by a sick man
who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But it's not about the cocaine. Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba.
These are the fortresses Russia and China have set up
in the Western Hemisphere that allow them to do things
(29:05):
in our neighborhood they should not be allowed to do.
If you're looking to cast blame, there's plenty of it
to go around Democrats and Republicans. While the United States
of America's foreign policy and military has been bouncing all
over Africa, in every Middle Eastern dump for the past
(29:27):
few decades, our mortal enemies have moved next door. And
you can't have that, and we won't have that. I
think that Maduro is not even close to being the
last leader who's going to be toppled. Then Q is
(29:51):
going down, well, their leadership, I think Colombia is going
down now. Mexico is a different nut. Let me explain Cuba,
all right. You have communist leadership there, you have a
people sick of it, they hate them. That's that's prime
for US. Colombia similar that's prime for us in Mexico.
(30:17):
In Mexico, there's a situation that we have talked about before.
When Donald Trump talked about declaring war on the cartels,
wiping the cartels off of the planet. Because half of Mexico,
roughly half the states in Mexico are cartel rum they
are narco states. It makes it more difficult. What does
(30:39):
that mean? A narco state? When normal people think about cartels,
they think about a couple of Mexican dudes hiding out
in the jungle processing cocaine and shooting people in the head. Okay,
that's very accurate. But do you think about them handing
out to he's at Christmas time? Because they do that.
(31:06):
Let me ask you this. Do you think about the
cartel being the healthcare provider for you and your family? Oh? Man,
little Billy has strep throat. Come on in, we'll get
him taken care of. Yes, this hospital is run by
the cartel. Oh you're young and in love. Isn't that precious?
(31:29):
You're gonna get married? Great, Come get married at the
church the cartel built. The priest who marries you will
be cartel connected. Got potholes in your road, let's pave
it over. Who's gonna do it? The cartel they are
the government in so many parts of Mexico. It's not
(31:52):
just one compound. It's not just one cocaine plant. It's
it's in the bones. You will it's in the bones.
That's a completely different story. But I'd be worried if
I were in Mexico each.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
About how is a peace on I gotta have pieces
our hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was very important when it
was done, and are the presidents and a lot of
them they lost sight of it. I didn't. I didn't
lose it, but it really is. It's peace on Earth.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Now. I'm gonna touch on one more thing. Then We're
gonna do mail of honor Monday, and then we will
wrap this up next hour talking about some potential problems
and I'll get the emails and tim Walls resigning and
everything else. But one more thing. When the communists took
over Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, when they took over Venezuela, they
(32:47):
seize assets that belonged to the United States of America.
There oil assets. Trump talked about this.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
But we're going to be rebuilding and we're not spending money.
Of the all companies are gonna go in, they're gonna
spend money. We're gonna take back to the oil that frankly,
we should have taken back a long time ago. A
lot of money is coming out of the ground. We're
gonna get reimbursed for all of that. We're gonna get
reimbursed for everything that we spend.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know what problem I have. Here's a problem I have.
Venezuela has a communist revolution and Hugo Chavez gets elected. Okay,
all right, that sucks, not ideal, I got it. They
then start seizing assets that belong to American companies. If
we're not going to go take them back immediately, why
(33:36):
didn't we blow them all up? You can't allow This
is about sending a message. This is why I love
what we did. I think you cannot allow as a nation,
as a powerful nation, you can't allow anyone to take
your stuff because doing that sends a message to the
(33:58):
rest of the world that someone can just take your stuff.
In the future, if we lose assets in a foreign
land and some scumbag takes it over, can we please
drop a gigantic bomb on it on the way out
the door. You don't get to steal our stuff. That
(34:19):
doesn't happen. That aside, Let's do Medal of Honor Monday.
Then we'll talk potential problems. Then we'll get to emails
and tim walls and so much more. Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Let's have some fun.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
On a Monday. I have missed you so freaking much.
Happy New Year. It's twenty twenty six. I'm so excited
for everything. The year is going to bring the ups
the downs. We will ride it out together. I'm excited
for tonight and tomorrow and every other day. In case
(00:46):
you can't tell, I've been dying to get back, but
I am gear. There's so much to do tonight, there's
no way we're going to get through it all. Let
me just give you a couple guarantees on things we're
definitely going to get to. First, an hour from now
is going to be Medal of Honor Monday, as it
always is, we will honor a hero. We're going to
(01:07):
open the show, and it's going to take a while
talking about Venezuela. Not just the operation, of course, we're
going to nerd out on that. We're going to talk
about the reasons, the real reasons, what's going on globally,
what's the Trump plan, what might be next, what are
the potential problems.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That we have?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
So many things we're going to get to there. Tim
Walls announces he's not running for re election. What happened,
we'll discuss it. That New York City's going to get
worse than we thought. We're going to have to go
ahead and destroy Hilton Hotels the way we destroyed bud Light.
All that emails, so much more coming up tonight on
(01:45):
the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now, I've been nerding
out since it happened. I would venture a guest that
you have been nerding out since it happened. I woke up,
woke up. I forget what which morning was. What was
it Wednesday? It doesn't matter what morning it was. I
don't do details. None of that's changed. I wake up
(02:08):
and I did the exact same thing you do when
you wake up. Don't lie, I know you do. I
woke up, rolled over, grab my phone. In my defense,
that's where my alarm is. I grabbed my phone to
turn the alarm off, and I think I had fifteen
text messages from various friends. I didn't know it was
(02:29):
going down. You didn't know it was going down. Trump
got Maduro last night. Trump arrested Madurea last night. We
have what in Venezuela. So I know you already know
the story, So I won't cover the story, but I
do want to bring this up before we go on.
(02:49):
We don't fully appreciate how elite our military is compared
to almost pretty much every other military on the planet.
And there are a lot of reasons for that, which
we'll talk about in a moment. But because if you're
an American, if you're an American citizen, I know we
(03:10):
have people listening all over the world, but if you're
an American citizen, you've probably only ever lived in America,
and because of that, if that's all you've ever known,
you don't appreciate the differences. To be honest with you,
I never fully appreciated the differences until I joined the
Marine Corps. Joined the Marine Corps, I trained with Marines,
(03:31):
We go fight with Marines, and then there's a period
of time in Iraq where there's a transition and now
some European powers are coming in and they're sending in
troops to do this or that, and I remember being
mortified at the troops from other countries. Mortified, not just
the Europeans, by the way. I remember before we went
(03:53):
to Thailand, we were told you're going to train with
the Thai Marines, and immediately I'm thinking probably the same thing.
You're thinking, Wow, they're probably going to be some stud
jungle fighters. That they were pathetic. They couldn't even hunt
their own gear, whining all the pathetic. The Spanish came
in to relieve us from some compound in Iraq, Spain,
(04:16):
I realized they're not some military juggernaut. But you're thinking,
probably pretty switched on guys, at least modern pathetic. Our
military is incredible. We don't think of ourselves probably as
a Spartan like culture, but we have a military culture
in this country, a rugged military culture that comes from
(04:40):
our DNA, It comes from our heritage, It comes from
our love of the outdoors, our love of firearms. We
have a society full of men primed to join the
military if they are willing. We have the resources, the
financial resources to buy the best training money can buy.
(05:01):
You got all the bullets you want. We just have
elite military personnel. Now, let's understand something about an operation
of this size. You could argue, let's call it a raid.
You could argue historically, this is the greatest raid that
has ever been pulled off. When you consider a couple things,
(05:25):
consider this Venezuela knew we were there. Venezuela assumed we
were coming in Venezuela is No. They are not some
top tier military, but they have the assistance of you
would probably say the number two and three best militaries
(05:46):
on the planet. That would be Russia and China. We're
better than Russia and China, but if you were ranking them,
Russia and China would be second and third. Russia and
China were not only invested there, Russia and China were
sending equipment there, equipment specifically designed to stop the United
(06:07):
States military from doing anything like it was doing anything.
They knew we were coming. They had been supplied by
the second and third best militaries in the world, trained
by the second and third best militaries in the world
to stop us from doing it. And still we flew
helicopters into their capital in the middle of the night,
(06:29):
killed all the security around their president, and jacked him
and his wife out of the mansion, threw them on
a ship, and shipped him back to the United States
of America without losing a single man. Don't go by
the way in case you think this is all gonna
be sunshine, It's not. We're going to discuss potential problems
(06:51):
and what's going on. We're gonna get to that. I
just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how elite
this was. And I'm not just talking about the Delta
guys on the ground. I'm going to play something for
you've probably already heard it. This is Dan Cain. He
is well thought of by the actual war fighters in
our military. His nickname is Raisin Cain, and on this show,
(07:15):
that's how he will be referred to from now on.
I'm going to give Raisin Cain the floor. Now. I
want you before I play him, I want you to
think about this. If I gave you twenty people and
I had you organize an operation, not a military operation,
an operation where one guy had to walk into this
(07:36):
office and he had to get a stapler, and the
next guy had to walk into a different office and
he had to get a blue pen, and the next
guy had to walk into a different office and he
had to get a package of printer paper. Do you
think you could pull that off? How much time and
training do you think it would take to make sure
everybody knew their duty. It's more complicated in it than
you think I'll give you a little example. In fact,
(07:56):
it's from my Christmas break. I didn't tell you this before, Hanks.
I can't tell people when I'm traveling beforehand. We went
to New York City for Christmas this year. We love
New York City. We assume we're never going to go
back now that man Donnie's going to destroy the place.
We wanted a couple more days to go see the sites,
eat some hot dogs, look at the Christmas tree, the
normal thing. As part of our New York City trip,
(08:17):
we decided to do something we'd never done before. We
went to the Empire State Building. There were nine of
us in our party. It was a big group. I
had all the tickets on my phone. In order to
get to the top of the Empire State Building, you
had to go through I think there were five, but
don't quote me on that, five different little turnstyle things
(08:38):
where you had to scan the ticket. One person walks through,
scan the ticket, one person walks through. I'm standing there,
I scan, I'm giving orders. I scan, I'm giving orders.
We screwed it up four times on the way in.
Four times. Someone was enlisting, someone walked and walk fast enough.
Someone tried to double it four times. That's just scanning
a ticket to get in the Empire state building. I
(09:00):
want you to listen to the United States military and
their operation they just pulled off. Here's Raisin King.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreete precise,
and conducted during the darkest hours of January tewod and
was in the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal.
An extraction so precise it involved more than one hundred
and fifty aircraft launching across the Western Hemisphere in close coordination,
(09:29):
all coming together in time and place to layer effects
for a single purpose to get an interdiction force into
downtown Caraclus while maintaining the element of tactical surprise. Let
me talk a little bit about the preparation. After months
of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and
(09:52):
understand how he moved, where he lived, where he traveled,
what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets?
In early December, our force was set pending a series
of aligned events. The force included F twenty two's F
thirty fives, F eighteen's, EA eighteens, E twos, B one
(10:15):
bombers and other support aircraft, as well as numerous remotely
piloted drones. As the force began to approach Caracas, the
Joint Air Component began dismantling and disabling the air defense
systems in Venezuela, employing weapons to ensure the safe passage
of the helicopters into the target area. We arrived at
(10:38):
Maduro's compound.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He goes on for another minute. I'm going to let
him go. This is amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
At one one am Eastern Standard time or two to
one am Caracas local time, and the apprehension force descended
into Maduro's compound and moved with speed, precision, and discipline
towards their objective and isolated the area to ensure the
safety and security of the ground force while apprehending the
(11:06):
indicted persons. On arrival into the target area, the helicopters
came under fire, and they replied with that fire with
overwhelming force and self defense. One of our aircraft was
hit but remained fliable, and as the President said earlier today,
all of our aircraft came home. Maduro and his wife,
both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by
(11:28):
the Department of Justice, assisted by our incredible US military
with professionalism and precision, which with no loss of US life.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I am so nerding out right now we continue on.
We'll talk about bigger picture things next. Feeling a little stocky,
follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's Show.
It is Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday. Oh
my gosh, I'm so excited to be here. And remember, yes,
(12:01):
I'm back. You can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com your love, your hate, your death, threats, your
history suggestions which you keep sending in. I haven't decided
on one yet. We'll get to all that stuff in
a little bit. A couple more things really quickly on
the military operation, and then we'll discuss the reasons why
and the potential pitfalls and things like that. First, we're
(12:25):
all flesh and blood human beings. And when it comes
to a military operation, what's the thing we love the most?
The Delta Force guys, the Navy seals, but this was
Delta Force. But the guy, the big, the big tough
guys with the guns. Every dude in the back of
(12:46):
his mind secretly kind of wants to be that guy.
Thinks maybe he could have been that guy. Every woman
in the back of her mind has thought, my I'd
like to go on a date with that guy. It's
human nature. It's human nature. They do all the cool stuff,
they have the cool stuffed human nature, and they deserve
all the credit in the world. However, remember there are
(13:08):
so many things that go into an operation like this,
things that we never think about. Raisin Kin talked about
the intelligence gathering. Remember, before any Delta Force guy gets
to fast rope out of a helo under the roof
of a compound, long before he gets to do that,
(13:30):
there's another guy. There's another girl on the ground writing
down when Maduro leaves for work where he likes to
eat breakfast, and that person if caught in a hostile
foreign country, well, Venezuela's famous for their torture. Now you
realize that, like any evil, disgusting communist regime, when they
(13:53):
get their hands on you, you will not like it.
Think about they that takes to be sitting in the
woods outside of Maduro's compound watching. Maybe you've chosen to
become a CIA asset or any one of the other
intelligence gathering agencies we have, and you're a Venezuelan. You've
(14:15):
chosen to work with them. You risk everything for that.
Now let's set that aside. Let's not ignore the pilots,
not just not just the fancy top gun stuff, helicopter pilots.
You know how brave it is to be in a helicopter.
(14:38):
You ain't moving that fast, low people firing machine guns
up at you. You know you are one RPG in
the tail rotor away from dying in a burning blaze
on the ground at night in hostile territory. It takes
(15:01):
a tremendous amount of guts to go do things like that.
And as I said, the Delta Force guys deserve all
the credit in the world. Make sure we take a
moment of appreciation to realize there's a lot of people,
a lot of people who risked dying to go pull
(15:22):
something like that off, hard to plan for, hard to
pull off in a very very dangerous thing, To go
in at midnight in a hostile land and grab someone,
it's impressive. Now, now let's have a much longer talk
(15:42):
than all that. Now that I'm done nerding out, let's
talk about the why, because you know you're hearing a
lot of things like this, but.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
We're going to be rebuilding and we're not spending money
out of the oil. Companies are going to go in,
they're going to spend money. They're we're going to take
back the oil that frankly we should have taken back
a long time ago. A lot of money is coming
out of the ground. We're gonna get reimbursed for all
of that. We're gonna get reimbursed for everything that we spend.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, you're hearing a lot of things about it. It's
the oil, it's the drugs, it's fatanyl Okay, is that true?
Kind of yeah, but that's not the real reason. We'll
talk about the real reason before we do that. I
know for a fact that you are probably a little
stick or shocked with the old credit card bill right now.
(16:33):
No different in my house. We've took a vacation, Christmas gifts.
I don't I know what if I could put a
thousand dollars in your pocket. The average family when they
switch to puretalk saves a thousand dollars a year. I
can't pay your credit card bill, only you can do that.
But why not switch your cell service to pure talk?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But I need good service. Pure Talk's on the same network.
They're on the same number. I don't want to switch phones.
Totally get it. I don't want to switch phones. When
I switched to Pure Talk, I didn't have to switch phones.
And neither do you keep your phone, keep your number
if you let's say you're not good at technology. I
get it. Neither am I. They're American customer service people
(17:18):
will walk you through it, and they won't make you
feel dumb. Make the switch you feel better about yourself.
Pick up your phone right now, dial pound two five
zero and say save now. That'll save you an additional
fifty percent off your first month pound two five zero
and say save now. Switch to Pure Talk. We'll be
(17:42):
back next.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Vaccian, It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday.
Do not forget. If you missed any part of the show,
you can download it. Iheard Spotify iTunes, and don't worry.
I'm back and I'm not going anywhere for a while.
You me were gonna hang for a while now. The
(18:08):
why why Venezuela? What is it is it about? It's
about the drugs. There's a lot of talk about drugs.
It's about fentondel it's about the oil. Lots of that
talckets the oil we need, the oil. Venezuela's so much oil. Well,
there's some of that. Trump kind of gave it away
a little bit when he talked about this.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we've
superseded it by a lot, by a real lot. They
now call it the don Road Document. I don't know,
it's uh Monroe doctrine.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
We sort of forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It was very important, but we forgot about it. We
don't forget about it anymore. Under our new national security strategy,
American dominance in the Western hemisphere will never be questioned again.
Won't happen?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, let's do a little background, shall we to understand
what's happening, and why it's happening, and why. If you
were Mexico, if you're Columbia, if your Cuba, you are
probably having some sleepless nights right about now. What is
the Monroe Doctrine? Well, back in the eighteen hundreds, I
(19:21):
don't have to worry about the nerdy details. We had
a president named James Monroe. That's what it's named after.
Before we get to James, before we get to the
Monroe doctrine. Let's go even further back than that. The
founding fathers of this country all had European heritage. That's
something important to understand. European heritage. They grew up, they
(19:45):
grew up watching something. They grew up watching Europe fighting
with each other all the time, the various countries of
Europe always having a squabble about this or that or territory.
They're always fighting all the time. If you were to
do a military history show on Europe fighting European countries
(20:08):
fighting each other, I don't think you could fit it
in in a year. It would take that long to
get into the endless conflicts. And the founders realized that
endless wars drain the treasury, They deprive people of liberty
in the end, because you always have to do something
during wartime that deprives people of things. And the founders
(20:30):
realize that as they established this country clear across the
Atlantic Ocean from Europe, as they established this country, something
that would completely recap the new country they were establishing
would be getting involved in European wars, really foreign wars
in general. Why are we getting involved? They're always in
(20:54):
a fight. It would be like you that couple you know,
maybe you're related to them, maybe they're neighbors. Maybe that's
something that couple you know who's always having some drama
blowout fight. They're always about to get a divorce, there
always is. They're always that picture you trying to stick
your nose in it, or maybe you do do this
every single time Tom and Susy had a knockdown drag
(21:17):
out after too much veno on a Friday night. What
would that mean for you and your happiness in your life.
It would be miserable, wouldn't it. The Founders had exactly
that view about getting involved in foreign wars. Their view was, ay,
we will protect America at all times. We will protect
our trade at all times. We will trade with virtually
(21:40):
everyone at all times. But foreign wars are not our problem.
If you are a nerdy history person kind of like me,
I would invite you. I'm not going to read it
here to read George Washington's farewell address. Look, you can
use it on the Google machine. Look it up on
the Google machine. George. It's very short. George Washington's farewell address.
(22:03):
He lays it out that was it was not even
controversial that was the doctrine for foreign policy in this country.
That brings us to James Monroe. He was president in
the eighteen twenties. Again, the details don't matter. That's what
the Monroe doctrine comes from. The Monroe doctrine wasn't necessarily special.
(22:25):
It was really just Monroe reasserting what our foreign policy is. Hey,
we are not getting involved in Europe. We're not involved.
The only way we're going to get involved with European
countries is if if they come start some things over here.
(22:47):
Now pause, what would they be starting over here? What
was Monroe talking about? Well, remember this was the colonial age.
This was the era still on the planet where powerful
countries would find foreign lands that had resources or locations
things they wanted and they would go conquer them. That's
(23:11):
what colonizing is. It's conquest by other means. Really, yeah,
people were going to die usually, but eventually it works
out depending on the country doing the colonizing, where you
step in and you decide, hey, your resources, they're now
our resources. You work for us. That's what colonizing is.
This was going on all over the planet at the time,
(23:32):
and before that, European countries, some of them hostile to
our interests were still sticking their nose in countries that
were close to us. South America most definitely, the Monroe
doctrine was hey, hey, hey, we're not going to get
involved in your stuff over there. If you start getting
(23:54):
involved in our stuff over here, it's going to be
a problem. We're going to have a problem. The Monroe doctrine, essentially,
for the one oh one version, is in our hemisphere,
in our neighborhood, we will not have trouble. You want
to throw used tires and things like that in your
(24:16):
front lawn across town, you're welcome to do so. Trash
your area. You live across the street from me, and
try that. We're going to have a problem. Now. That
brings us to Russia and China and Iran if we're
being honest, but we'll focus on Russia in China for
the longest time, this started really with the Communists, surprise, surprise,
(24:39):
the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party. They recognized that
South America, really, i'll just call it Latin America. Latin
America was an opportunity for them, not just an opportunity
to acquire resources. Latin America presented them with an opportunity
to take over governments because there's so much Spanish colonialism
(25:03):
that took place in Latin America, and the Spanish did
colonialism worse than anybody. They just sucked at it. They
would just go steal all the gold and abuse everyone,
and they just weren't good at it. And so you
had all these disaffected, miserable people. You had all these unstable,
corrupt governments. And China in the Soviet Union at the time,
(25:25):
recognized this is an opportunity for us to not just
take power take resources in these places. This is an
opportunity for us to essentially set up shop, set up
a fortress, if you will, right next to our number
one enemy, the United States of America. They always hated America.
(25:47):
They always wanted to take down America. And if you're
going to invade, what do you have to do first?
You have to move next door. And they have spent
decadess moving in to Latin America. Venezuela, especially Venezuela's more recent,
(26:09):
but Venezuela is just the best example. It's not just
the cocaine, the fentanyl, the oil. The truth is Russia
and China and Iran. They realize it's extremely beneficial to
have a nice little setup just south of America, just
(26:31):
in case we need such a thing someday. And of
course the oil does matter. I don't want to be
dismissive of that. And it does matter that they're poisoning
America on purpose with the help of China with endless drugs.
So what happened? What are we doing? Bill? Things are
changing rapidly on the planet because of the Trump administration.
(26:52):
We'll continue on this next Mists catch up kellyshow dot com.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Monday,
only ten minutes away from Medal of Honor Monday, which
I love and I know you love, where we will
honor a hero. Do not forget. You can send us
(27:14):
your love, your hate, your death threats, whatever you would like.
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. I will get to
those at some point in time. I want to finish
chopping away at this. So we have decided, the Trump
administration has decided correctly that we are going to start
taking back control of our hemisphere, our neighborhood. Why is
(27:38):
Donald Trump talking about things like this?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Cuba is ready to fall, Yes, Cuban looks like it's
ready to fall.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I don't know how they if they're gonna hold up.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
By the way, you have to do something with Mexico.
Mexico has to get there pack together because they're pouring
through Mexico and we're gonna have to do something. We
love Mexico to do it. They're capable of doing it,
but unfortunately the cartels are very strong.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And Mexican very simple.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
As a president, So Columbian President Gustavo Petro, you know,
a couple of weeks ago you said he's got to
watch it, and today he said he's not concerned about
anything happening to him in the aftermath of this operation.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So just what your messages.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Well, he has cocaine mills, he has a factories where
he makes cocaine, and yeah, I think I stick by
my first statement. He's making cocaine, they're sending it into
the United States. So he does have to watch his.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Look. That's not the first time he's mentioned Colombia. It's
been on his lips a lot late.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Columbia is very sick too, run by a sick man
who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But it's not about the cocaine. Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba.
These are the fortresses Russia and China have set up
in the Western Hemisphere that allow them to do things
(29:05):
in our neighborhood they should not be allowed to do.
If you're looking to cast blame, there's plenty of it
to go around Democrats and Republicans. While the United States
of America's foreign policy and military has been bouncing all
over Africa, in every Middle Eastern dump for the past
(29:27):
few decades, our mortal enemies have moved next door. And
you can't have that, and we won't have that. I
think that Maduro is not even close to being the
last leader who's going to be toppled. Then Q is
(29:51):
going down, well, their leadership, I think Colombia is going
down now. Mexico is a different nut. Let me explain Cuba,
all right. You have communist leadership there, you have a
people sick of it, they hate them. That's that's prime
for US. Colombia similar that's prime for us in Mexico.
(30:17):
In Mexico, there's a situation that we have talked about before.
When Donald Trump talked about declaring war on the cartels,
wiping the cartels off of the planet. Because half of Mexico,
roughly half the states in Mexico are cartel rum they
are narco states. It makes it more difficult. What does
(30:39):
that mean? A narco state? When normal people think about cartels,
they think about a couple of Mexican dudes hiding out
in the jungle processing cocaine and shooting people in the head. Okay,
that's very accurate. But do you think about them handing
out to he's at Christmas time? Because they do that.
(31:06):
Let me ask you this. Do you think about the
cartel being the healthcare provider for you and your family? Oh? Man,
little Billy has strep throat. Come on in, we'll get
him taken care of. Yes, this hospital is run by
the cartel. Oh you're young and in love. Isn't that precious?
(31:29):
You're gonna get married? Great, Come get married at the
church the cartel built. The priest who marries you will
be cartel connected. Got potholes in your road, let's pave
it over. Who's gonna do it? The cartel they are
the government in so many parts of Mexico. It's not
(31:52):
just one compound. It's not just one cocaine plant. It's
it's in the bones. You will it's in the bones.
That's a completely different story. But I'd be worried if
I were in Mexico each.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
About how is a peace on I gotta have pieces
our hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was very important when it
was done, and are the presidents and a lot of
them they lost sight of it. I didn't. I didn't
lose it, but it really is. It's peace on Earth.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Now. I'm gonna touch on one more thing. Then We're
gonna do mail of honor Monday, and then we will
wrap this up next hour talking about some potential problems
and I'll get the emails and tim Walls resigning and
everything else. But one more thing. When the communists took
over Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, when they took over Venezuela, they
(32:47):
seize assets that belonged to the United States of America.
There oil assets. Trump talked about this.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
But we're going to be rebuilding and we're not spending money.
Of the all companies are gonna go in, they're gonna
spend money. We're gonna take back to the oil that frankly,
we should have taken back a long time ago. A
lot of money is coming out of the ground. We're
gonna get reimbursed for all of that. We're gonna get
reimbursed for everything that we spend.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know what problem I have. Here's a problem I have.
Venezuela has a communist revolution and Hugo Chavez gets elected. Okay,
all right, that sucks, not ideal, I got it. They
then start seizing assets that belong to American companies. If
we're not going to go take them back immediately, why
(33:36):
didn't we blow them all up? You can't allow This
is about sending a message. This is why I love
what we did. I think you cannot allow as a nation,
as a powerful nation, you can't allow anyone to take
your stuff because doing that sends a message to the
(33:58):
rest of the world that someone can just take your stuff.
In the future, if we lose assets in a foreign
land and some scumbag takes it over, can we please
drop a gigantic bomb on it on the way out
the door. You don't get to steal our stuff. That
(34:19):
doesn't happen. That aside, Let's do Medal of Honor Monday.
Then we'll talk potential problems. Then we'll get to emails
and tim walls and so much more. Hang on,
