Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show, and
it's going to be such a good hour. I'm gonna
talk just this briefly for a moment about a little
world event that hopefully won't require the US military, but
I don't know. We'll get to that in a couple
(00:32):
of minutes. And as you know, ten minutes from now,
the semifinals.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's the twenty twenty five Crappiest Country in the World competition.
Tonight's matchup is between India and Somalia, brought to you
by Twin City Septic Painted Tam Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh that and so much more coming up this hour
on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But let me
ask you, what is as far as major powers go?
What is the most experienced military on the planet right now?
Major powers? I'm not talking about history or anything else.
(01:20):
Major powers. What is the military? What's the country? Russia?
The answer is Russia. Russia has been fighting an awful
artillery drone war for years in Ukraine. Now the reason
I said major powers is you could easily say, well,
(01:41):
Ukraine is too, yeah, but they've been losing they've got
fifty year olds in uniform. The Russians still have a
bunch of young men. Their equipment is getting better, their
tactics are getting better. Russia knows more about fighting a
war in the year twenty than any other country on
(02:01):
the planet. That's not me saying Russia is better than us.
They certainly are not. And that's not me saying we
can't learn. We can, but it takes time in war
to get up to speed. Did you know part of
the reason why the beginning of World War II went
(02:21):
so poorly for us? This is something we don't talk
about a lot, but you know why we had all
those losses, navy losses, land losses. Our leadership sucked. We
had a peacetime military leadership. They weren't ready, they weren't equipped,
(02:42):
and so it took time to fire all the necessary
generals and admirals and replace them with people who were capable.
And eventually we did and we won, and all that
was good. So let's go to China. China wants Taiwan clarify.
There is a situation in China that I need to clarify.
(03:03):
And I know you don't necessarily care about China, and
neither do I. But this may apply to us, so
we have to discuss it. There's a situation. Jijinping is
the head of the Communist Party. You already know this,
but because we're not there often we oftentimes, unless we're
studying it, we don't know the political stability situation. If
(03:27):
you had asked me even a year ago, maybe two
years ago, hey, how's xixin pains hold on power? I
hadn't done that much research into it. You know, I'm
more of an ugly American. I would have said, Oh,
I mean he rules with an iron fist. He's a
dictator kind of. There are other very powerful families in
(03:48):
the Communist Party who hate him. He has killed their relatives,
their fathers, their grandfathers. There are generals inside of the
Chinese army that are unhappy with him. Their economy is
on the brink. If you listen to people, it is
on the brink. They have spent way too much money.
(04:10):
They are buried in debt. They have obviously, you know
how many China's famous for how many people they have.
They got a billion people over there. They can't afford
twenty five percent unemployment, or there's going to be a
revolution of angry Chinamen, and Jixijinping is going to be
out and probably dead the way they handle things over there,
(04:31):
he is in a very dangerous situation, as almost all
communist dictators always are. Remember, Stalin has thought of as
someone who who ruled absolutely. Stalin always thought he was
going to get overthrown and assassinated. He thought another dirty
comedy was going to take him out, because that's what
they do. By the way, there are a lot of
people who believe another comedy did. But anyway, that's another story.
(04:55):
So Jijinping has a situation. He wants time w in part,
he thinks he needs Taiwan, meaning it's not just that
he wants it. China has always thought it belongs to them.
We won't let them have it, but they've always thought
it belongs to them. That's why even on their maps
(05:15):
it's not called Taiwan, right, it's just part of China.
He wants it, he also might need it, meaning he
needs a win, he needs a political win over there.
But there's another part. What if he struggles to get it.
What if he decides he wants to take Taiwan because
(05:37):
he can take Taiwan, but What if Taiwan puts up
a little bit of a fight. Remember, we ship Taiwan
things they need to defend themselves. What if Taiwan puts
up a bit of a fight. What if China takes
a loss here, a loss there, he might be in trouble.
Now back to Russia. Here's a headline for you how
(06:01):
Russia is helping China prepare to seize Taiwan. This is
about air dropping, armored vehicles and things like that. Again
stuff Russia has had to learn the hard way over
the last few years. China, they have not. Russia knows,
China doesn't. I am not saying there's about to be
a war with Taiwan, and I'm not saying you have
(06:23):
to stress about it. We've got enough of our own
problems here. But if there is, If Jeshin Ping decides
his power, maybe his life requires him to take Taiwan.
The chances the United States military is going to get
involved in some way, they're pretty strong. Trump's not going
(06:46):
to stand by and let it happen. Our policy towards
China taking Taiwan has always been very, very fuzzy. On purpose.
All of our politicians will talk out of both sides
of their mouths. Well, yes, militarily, we'll step into defend them. Well,
not really sure. We have a great relationship with China,
so no one exactly knows what our policy is, including China.
(07:09):
But I think it would be naive to think Donald
Trump would sit back and let China do it. Now,
we just had a long, hour long talk about the
shape of the military. It gets a little more real
when you consider there's a chance our military would have
to go around the world and possibly take on a
(07:32):
combined military of Russia and Chinese soldiers. It gets more
real when you think about your son or sadly your
daughter in the South China Sea on a navy ship
with a hypersonic missile coming her way. Gets real, doesn't it.
(07:52):
It gets real, and it gets real real fast. Wanted
to drive that point home. And you know, I forgot
to tease this next hour. About halfway through next hour,
I am going to bring on a friend of mine.
He's a merchant marine captain. His name is John Conrad,
very sharp guy, merchant marine captain. You know how we've
(08:16):
talked a lot about fire fighting on a ship. It
just always comes up, especially when need to discuss world
War two because it was so necessary with these huge
naval battles, especially against Japan. Ships are burning, kamakazies. You're
trying to put out fires. It's a nightmare. He has
not in World War Two, but he has had to
fight fires, big scary ones on ships in the middle
(08:40):
of the ocean. And I'm going to ask him about that.
We're going to talk about that. It's something to think about.
And it also drives home why we need a retrofitted
military that is prepped and ready to go. All right,
enough of that. It's a good day in a lot
of ways, really really rootly good day. The shutdown. How
(09:03):
many federal workers try to lay on, well, we made
you a lot. And that's only because of the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, yes, I think we're gonna get a bunch of
fired federal employees.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And Democrats are in a very serious situation when it
comes to the shutdown. I'm not gonna spend a lot
of time on it, but their situation is they need
a political win, so they kind of need a shutdown
to show that they're taking it to Trump. Hey, legals,
we're trying to get you your money. They kind of
need that win. Make Trump look bad, make Republicans look bad.
(09:37):
But Trump has already said it's been well documented by now.
He's going to not lay off, not suspend. He's going
to use a shutdown as an opportunity to fire government
employees in mass Who do you think he's going to fire.
He's going to clean out the most committed communists he
(09:59):
can fire, and from the government communist and filtrators who've
been worming their way into those positions for years. You
could almost look at it as a massive mole hunt.
I don't know that I've ever been as excited for
anything politically as I am about the idea of the
government shutting down. Yes, shut it down, shut it down. Yes,
(10:20):
Also get yourself some chalk. Maybe that's part of why
I'm excited. Maybe that's why I'm in a good mood.
Me male vitality stacked Jesse, Testosterone stacked Jesse. Do you
want to join me? Yeah? And ladies too. You know
I have women senior citizens emailing me telling me this
(10:42):
female vitality stack is the best thing I've ever done.
I am so full of energy. I am not run

and your life, and I want you. I want you
to do me a favor. I want you to try it,
and if it doesn't work, promise me that you will
cancel your subscription. I don't want you to waste your money.

I don't want you to spend it on anything that
doesn't work for you. Give it ninety days a male
vitality stack or a female vitality stack. If you don't
feel it, and you will cancel it. That's it. Try it, though,
Try it. You don't know what you're missing out on.
C hoq Chok dot com, slash Jesse Chuck dot com,
(11:30):
slash Jesse Crappiest Country in the World. Next, you're listening
to the Oracle. You love this one. It's a scream Baby,
The Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a Wonderful Tuesday. Member. You can email us Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com and we're gonna get to something. Actually,
(11:54):
Don Lemon of all people said, we'll get to the FBI,
We're gonna get to Patsy's email, but we don't have
time for that right now. We have to tackle bigger issues.
It is the semis it is the Semifinals. It's been
a long, brutal slog of a tournament. But we owe
it to America, you me, we owe it to the
(12:17):
world to figure out what is the crappiest country. And
because this is semifinals and you've already heard all the
horrible facts about these horrible countries over and over and
over again, I'm not going to play the whole fact
bit that we did before. We have a severely trimmed
down version of each country. And then what we're gonna
(12:41):
do is, you me, We're going to make a personal decision.
Where would we spend a week? Now? What is the
matchup tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's the twenty twenty five Crappiest Country in the World competition.
Tonight's matchup is between India and Somalia, brought to you
by Twin City Septic Paint the tawn Brown.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So let's meet our first contender. Our first contender that
I don't know that they were worthy of the semis.
It was your voting that brought them to the semis.
And look the way you've been voting, they might win
at all. India tourists get raped all the time. Wives
(13:31):
are routinely raped by their husbands in India. Children are
routinely raped in India. How many AE hundred and fifty
three million girls and seventy three million boys have been
raped in India? It is, It happens by gangs, it
(13:52):
happens at night. It by all appearances, is the rapist
country on the planet. On top of the the country
is most famous for being absolutely filthy in every possible way.
There's trash everywhere. But it's not only garbage, you see,
it's poop. It's p not just animal poop and p
(14:14):
human poop in p all over the streets. The entire
country apparently is like San Francisco. So that's not good India.
But tournament favorite, I would say Somalia is going to
be a tough nut to crarosm is a little bit
deeper and more embedded in Somalia. We're talking car bombs,
(14:36):
suicide vests. That Subaru outback might not be driven by
a lesbian, might actually be driven by a Muslim extremist.
Somalia also mixes in a healthy dose of piracy, which
is well known by now. Female genital mutilation might be
the most disgusting practice I have ever heard about. Just
(14:56):
know it's actually worse than you imagine seventy of Somalia
lives in extreme poverty. That country is run by war
lords and terrorists. The only good news I have out
of Somalia is so many of the bad people have
left Somalia. Of course, the bad news is they're all
now in Minneapolis. Yeah, they're all in Minneapolis, and they're
(15:19):
members of costs. It is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk
was killed in that way, but there is no legacy
to honor.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It was a legacy film.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, Despicable Demon. All right, here's how I want to
try to picture this, because it's hard to handicap this.
We have to spend a week there. You're not poor,
but you're not rich. You've got some walking around money,
but you're Look, there's not going to be private security
for you or me. If you got to go somewhere,
(15:49):
you got a cab it you're gonna have to stay
at a hotel. It doesn't have to be a rundown hotel.
It can be something, you know, nice, like a Best Western,
but not five star. A week in India. I feel
like I could do a week in India. I don't
want to. I have no desire to visit part of
(16:11):
that is because I despise curry. I just hate Indian food.
And part of it is because, as I said earlier,
I've had many friends who've been there and they say
it's estapho and it smells so bad, it smells so terrible.
But there are at least some beautiful landmarks, some beautiful
countryside in India. I like elephants. There are some famous
(16:38):
Indians of note that we should all acknowledge, people like
Gandhi and Sitting Bull. And I don't think you can
say the same for Somalia, even with walking around money,
even with the best western what is there to see?
Where are you going?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's not as if there's a single site take in.
In fact, you can't name a single Somali of note,
And in my opinion, that is the difference.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
But it's not just my opinion, of course, because as
you're well aware, I am a man of the people.
I'm a man of the people, and you you didn't
think this contest was that close. Somalia stomped India in
your voting, and I definitely can't overrule you here. India.
(17:31):
I am sorry. I want you to know you made
a great run at it. I know that you know
your effort was worthy. But as in all things, this
is how it goes in sports, in competition, in life.
Just because you think you're the nastiest, dirtiest, crappiest country
on the earth, that doesn't mean there's not a place
(17:54):
that's nastier and crappier and dirtier. And it's just going
to be very, very difficult to bounce Somalia out of
this tournament. Now, I will say the other two countries
who are going to square off the next semi final match,
our final semifinal match is North Korea versus Haiti. I
(18:15):
like both of their chances against Somalia. I'm not going
to say they will beat Somalia, but they're certainly both worthy.
But for now we have to acknowledge Somalia emerges from
the final four and they're going to be playing for
a title. So congratulations. Now we talk off in you
(18:36):
and me about the world of make Believe. Bob, my
wife she got a she got a message from one
of her relatives who's very upset with me. I am
going to read it for you next, and it is
amazing in every way. Before I read it to you,
(18:58):
I want you to know, we made a decision right
before the tournament today. We decided whoever wins the tournament
is going to get a little packet a relief Factor,
because look, imagine the pain in these countries. Imagine the what,
but imagine the daily chronic pain you must go through
(19:18):
if you're in Somalia. Oh no, is that a bug bite? Nope,
it's a terrorist show. Oh no, it's some kind of
poisonous steak. It's a black mamba. It's just a constant
life of pain. You don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live like that, and even Somalis
don't want to live like that. And Relief Factor is
here to take away everybody's pain. They're not ugly Americans
(19:40):
like me. They want everybody to be pain free. Try
Relief Factor for three weeks for the daily pain in
your life. A three week quick start is nineteen ninety five.
It's drug free. It's a supplement. Try it and you
will have a better life. Relief Factor dot com or
one eight hundred the number four relief. You're gonna love
(20:03):
this message. Next you're listening to the oracle, you love
this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Tuesday. Member.
If you've missed any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So all right,
I shouldn't laugh, but I'm I am laughing, and I'm
(20:28):
gonna have a hard time not laughing as I try
to get through this. But I need to explain the situation.
Democrats live in a world of make believe, as we've discussed,
and this is not just a few kooks. The average democrat.
Democrat believes, wow, that was a really bad slip of
the tongue there. The average democrat believes a lot of
(20:51):
things that simply are not real. They're black and white
not real. The average democrat believes Donald Trump called Nazis
very fine people. The average democrat believes Donald Trump told
people to inject bleach. The average Democrat believes George Floyd
died of an overdose. That a bunch of things that
are just simply factually incorrect. Therefore, I'm not being insulting.
(21:15):
They are insane. Most Democrats are insane, as insane as
the guy who believes he can fly, and it's because
of the world of make believe, that it's constructed for
them by the military and Democrat politicians. It just is
all right. Now. The result of that downstream of that
(21:36):
is they are desperate, bitter and angry about things that
aren't real. You know, obviously who Megan Kelly is. I'm
not going to insult your intelligence. Famous journalist Megan Kelly.
She has a Megan Kelly show. She's a friend of mine.
She is doing what are those speaking tours? You know,
(21:57):
people do this a bunch of different cities and they'll
have guests. And I've told you already that she's doing
one here in the Houston area. It's in Sugarland, Texas
on October twenty third, and I'm one of her guests.
It's me and Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior. Okay, So
Bob on social media just puts it out there. I
(22:21):
think she just put up the poster or something like
that and says, hey, I think it was on her
Twitter account or something like that, Hey, Jesse's doing this thing.
I'm excited at something like that. All right, one of
her relatives and I'm not going to say who. I'm
not going to say her name. I'm not going to
say how close the relation is just one of her relatives.
In response to just the poster going on, You know,
(22:44):
ob didn't take some strong political stance. It was just
Jesse's going to be speaking with Megan Kelly and Donald
Trump Junior promptly sent her a message. And I'm going
to read for you the message verbatim. Now i'll beep
out the names myself, but this is the message. I'm sorry,
(23:04):
but really you, I understand you can't help who you
love and all the bowl beep they do, but you, seriously,
you are all up in this maga beep too. I
don't know why I'm so disappointed or bothered. I guess
I just thought I knew you. And actually pause on this.
(23:25):
I'm done with the beeps from now on. It's going
to be this when there's a potty word. I guess
I just thought I knew you, which is stupid, right.
I just thought you were different from that. I hope
that while you're at your little Nazi pride get together,
you keep in mind that this administration is directly responsible
(23:47):
for killing my father, who believed Donald Trump and Fox
News when they said COVID was a hoax, just like
the flu By the way, that's not why the guy died.
He got COVID. He went to the hospitle they put
them on a ventilator and as everyone knows that that
ended up killing a lot of people. But again, facts
don't matter. I hope that you know they're trying to
(24:09):
erase my community of LGBTQA people. For the love of God,
I pray that you understand that if they have their way,
my honest, wonderful husband would be exiled to a country
he wasn't even born in. Please listen to what is
being said as if you are not white, straight and
(24:32):
indoctrinated into some cult, you are better than this. I
believe that that is from a relative in response to
a poster saying, I'm speaking somewhere with Megan Kelly. I
(24:53):
know that you have well I hope you don't, but
I bet you do have a democrat in your life.
Maybe it's on social media, maybe it's in your family,
maybe it's at work. And I know as I read
that little thing there, you were not shocked, were you,
because you can picture the democrat in your life speaking
(25:14):
in exactly this way. This is a tough place to
be as a country. We're going to get to some
emails here, but we have to We do have to
remember these people are all around us, and yes, they've
been lied to obviously, and the lies have led to
a mental brokenness. Something has broken inside of them. But wow, wow,
(25:38):
that is something Jesse. You are correct. The stiffest punishments
need to be reserved for corrupt government officials. There should
be a separate court like there is for the military,
for government officials. Hey, Chris, do you have that Do
you have that quiet skyes thing? I messaged you along
these same lines. There was testimony today in front of
(26:01):
Congress about punishments for government officials, and we talked earlier
in the show. We've talked a lot about what communists
do with power. I want you to listen to every
word of this. Listen to what the communists did in
the government when Joe Biden was president, and tell me
there shouldn't be some sort of military tribunal for everybody involved.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
As Labosco contacted us at a power oversight again in
the beginning of August twenty twenty four, when Air Marshalls
wanted to blow the whistle on another disturbing case, the
political targeting of Tulsi Gabbard through TSA's Quiet Skuies program.
The facts were alarming.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Gabbard was added.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
On July twenty third, twenty twenty four, just one day
after she made statements to Laura Ingram on Fox News
critical of Vice President Kamala Harris, who had just become
the presumptive Democratic Party of presidential nominee. Rather than using
her passport photo as required, TSA officials used her official
congressional photo, making clear that they knew exactly who she was.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The initial was a blur.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Disclosure were reported by Wendy stros Mahoney on Uncovered DC
and digitally on the Brianna Morella Show. Despite Empower's experience
with the DHSIG failing to investigate the Crowder situation, we
asked them to investigate here, and we also submitted disclosures
to Congress. Members of this committee and others pressed DHS
for answers and your persistence. Chairman Paul helped ensure Secretary
(27:20):
no and became aware of the quest Guy's program and
ended it.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
TAULC. Gabbard went on Fox News and she insulted Kamala Harris.
The next day, the TSA put her on a terrorist
watch list program, where they then followed her every time
she got on a plane. It's not only Taulsea Gabbard.
(27:49):
They did this to January six Ers. They did this
to private citizens. These communists inside of the federal government
treated every single agency as if it was a sword
they could use against their political opponents. These are deeply
(28:10):
evil acts, and the people who committed these crimes don't
need to be fired, they don't need resignations. These people
have to be tried and sent to prison. These are
crimes against the United States of America. These are high crimes.
I would actually venture to say a brand new, horrific prison,
(28:33):
possibly a labor camp, should be built for people inside
of the government who commit crimes like this. And I'm
not even exaggerating a little bit. You should spend the
rest of your life taking big rocks and turning them
into little rocks with a sledgehammer. If it occurs to
you to put your political opponents on a terrorist watch
(28:54):
list because they said something negative about you on Fox News,
that is as evil as Joseph Stalin, and that took
place inside your country and mine. It doesn't get more
serious than that, all right, do some more emails next,
he doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
(29:17):
Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on an
amazing Tuesday. Did you see how I did that? Chris?
I started talking right when they did that? Did he
deep beat? Like the stop thing and the music?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Chris? I did that on purpose because I'm a bit
of a showman. Right, don't roll your eyes I am.
I'm a bit of a showman. Oh, FBI January sixth
reports sets off a firestorm. Why did it take fifty
six months to disclose two seventy four agents at the Capitol?
Because Jesse told you what they were doing with all
(29:53):
that time. As soon as Donald Trump got elected, they
were burning and shredding everything they could and burying every
everything as deep as they possibly could, so we would
never find out just how soulless and evil the monsters
inside the FBI are. Hey, Jesse. Six weeks ago, I
spoke to customer service at a large grocery store about
(30:14):
their security. I told them I felt vulnerable. And they're
parking lot after dark because none of their numerous security
guards ever watched the lot. Instead, they're busy chatting with
each other staring at their phones or ignoring thieves who
don't pay customer service. Got defensive. They blamed the security company,
so I went into my New Yorker mode and got
(30:35):
in their faces. A week later, I returned to find
security guards everywhere doing their jobs. But it didn't last.
Securities back to screwing around, So it might take multiple tries.
Do you ever wonder if bored people secretly wish something
bad would happen so they could get on the news.
I'm here to tell you that board security guards spent
(30:57):
a lot of time daydreaming about something bad happens so
they could actually get a little action, because I was
that guy so many times. In the Marines. You are
always on fire, standing guard. You're standing guard on something
at all times. There always have to be guards here
and guards there. Even when everyone's asleep, they have to
(31:18):
post a fire watch and it could be by the way,
it could be two of you, which is brutal. Someone
has to be awake at all times. That is a rule.
Someone has to be awake at all times. So there's
always you're always on guard, there's always a watch, and
it's always night, and you're always tired, and you're always bored.
But it's not just. It's not just that they'll have
(31:41):
a place where they store ammo on the base. They
need guards there live ammunition, and you will catch yourself daydreaming.
In fact, when you get bored enough, you'll play out
the entire scenario in your head where somebody is approaching
and you had no choice but to get in a
big gunfight with him and put him down. Oh does
(32:03):
it sound like I've played this out in my head.
I've done it only about ten thousand times, as has
anybody who's ever stood guard anywhere at any given moment.
Now I'm glad you hounded them. But this is in
response to a security talk I had last night. I
was talking about Actually, my church, they have one ran
a cop in there. His face was stuck in his
(32:25):
phone as he sat there the entire freaking time, never
even looked up. There's security and then there's good security.
Don't think that those two are always, or even often
the same thing. They are not. All security is not equal,
and security is one of those things. It's very, very
(32:48):
difficult to find people with the self discipline to do
it well, and it's because nothing ever happens right for
most people, nothing ever happens. So even if it's your
first night and you're you're guarding a jewelry store, you've
(33:10):
been hired as a security guard for a jewelry store
and it's your first night, I bet you will be
pretty vigilant your first night. Every twenty thirty minutes, I
bet you'll get up, You'll walk around the store, take
a look outside, check the locks, make sure no one's
breaking in. You'll be pretty good your first night, maybe
even your second, maybe even your thirtieth night. On night
(33:35):
one hundred, when nothing has happened for one hundred nights,
that's the night instead of making your rounds, you know what,
set a little alarm on my phone, I'll grabbed twenty
minutes of shut eye. I was up late anyway, the
baby was crying, and that's when the worst thing happens.
(33:57):
It's difficult to find security at any level with self discipline.
And don't think that that's an insult to any particular
group or branch or anything else. Look, we had guys
fall asleep on security before, and believe me, they really
hated their lives when we found them. But we had
guys fall asleep on security running no I never did, Chris, No,
(34:19):
I never did. I was good about staying awake. I
could make myself stay awake. But this goes back to
my father. Remember I am a world class day dreamer
because of my dad and the road trips. Remember my dad.
We would take these long road trips in Montana and
he did not allow us to listen to music because
he didn't want music on and he didn't He also
(34:41):
didn't want to talk, so it was just me and
there were no phones. It was just me and my mind.
What Chris said it you've never been so tired. You
never fell asleep once. No, I never fell asleep on post. No, No,
I never did that. But it's very common. It's extremely
(35:03):
extremely common. I could keep myself awake. And where guys
doom themselves on post is they get comfortable. You need
to stand up, and really, when you're really fading away,
you need to move. And I don't care if that's
walking back and forth, I don't care if it's five
jumping jacks. What happens, though, is you're so exhausted, and
(35:26):
you're normally exhausted from the day, at least in the
Marine Corps. Again, you've been you've been doing a shoot
all day. You've been you did a long hump, you
did all kinds of stuff. Your body's tired and wants
to sleep. So if you're on watch, I'll just I mean,
I'm gonna stay awake. I'll just sit here all right now,
I'm sitting here. My back's a little sore. It was,
(35:50):
it was a long hump today. I'll just I'll just
lean back against this tree just for a minute. And
then the next thing you know, you are being punched
and kicked and they've taken your weapon away, and then
you have to do push ups until you vomit, and
then they'll make you put on your gas mask and
run wind sprints up the hill until you vomit again,
(36:11):
and then you have to clean your gas mask, and
then you have to do it all over again, and
it's really not fun. What Chris Chris said, that's preferable
to the enemy finding you asleep. Well, yeah, if you
found those punishments harsh, keep in mind that that's why
they make the punishment harsh, because if you do that
in combat, your buddies get their throats slit and they
(36:34):
don't go home to their wives. So there has to
be a severe punishment. Guys knew to live in mortal
fear of falling asleep on posts. We had one night
our company gunny, he went around and he tried to
steal people's weapons. Your weapon has to remain on you
at all times, including if you're in a sleeping bag,
(36:55):
if you're asleep, you have to have it in there
with you. And obviously that's uncomfortable. You did not want
to have your weapon taken in the middle of the night.
It was an ugly scene the next day. Anyway, enough
of that, let's talk about patsies. Let's talk about well,
these health rings. But first I'm going to talk about
(37:16):
something Don Lemon said about race. This would be offensive.
Next
This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show, and
it's going to be such a good hour. I'm gonna
talk just this briefly for a moment about a little
world event that hopefully won't require the US military, but
I don't know. We'll get to that in a couple
(00:32):
of minutes. And as you know, ten minutes from now,
the semifinals.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's the twenty twenty five Crappiest Country in the World competition.
Tonight's matchup is between India and Somalia, brought to you
by Twin City Septic Painted Tam Brown.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh that and so much more coming up this hour
on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But let me
ask you, what is as far as major powers go?
What is the most experienced military on the planet right now?
Major powers? I'm not talking about history or anything else.
(01:20):
Major powers. What is the military? What's the country? Russia?
The answer is Russia. Russia has been fighting an awful
artillery drone war for years in Ukraine. Now the reason
I said major powers is you could easily say, well,
(01:41):
Ukraine is too, yeah, but they've been losing they've got
fifty year olds in uniform. The Russians still have a
bunch of young men. Their equipment is getting better, their
tactics are getting better. Russia knows more about fighting a
war in the year twenty than any other country on
(02:01):
the planet. That's not me saying Russia is better than us.
They certainly are not. And that's not me saying we
can't learn. We can, but it takes time in war
to get up to speed. Did you know part of
the reason why the beginning of World War II went
(02:21):
so poorly for us? This is something we don't talk
about a lot, but you know why we had all
those losses, navy losses, land losses. Our leadership sucked. We
had a peacetime military leadership. They weren't ready, they weren't equipped,
(02:42):
and so it took time to fire all the necessary
generals and admirals and replace them with people who were capable.
And eventually we did and we won, and all that
was good. So let's go to China. China wants Taiwan clarify.
There is a situation in China that I need to clarify.
(03:03):
And I know you don't necessarily care about China, and
neither do I. But this may apply to us, so
we have to discuss it. There's a situation. Jijinping is
the head of the Communist Party. You already know this,
but because we're not there often we oftentimes, unless we're
studying it, we don't know the political stability situation. If
(03:27):
you had asked me even a year ago, maybe two
years ago, hey, how's xixin pains hold on power? I
hadn't done that much research into it. You know, I'm
more of an ugly American. I would have said, Oh,
I mean he rules with an iron fist. He's a
dictator kind of. There are other very powerful families in
(03:48):
the Communist Party who hate him. He has killed their relatives,
their fathers, their grandfathers. There are generals inside of the
Chinese army that are unhappy with him. Their economy is
on the brink. If you listen to people, it is
on the brink. They have spent way too much money.
(04:10):
They are buried in debt. They have obviously, you know
how many China's famous for how many people they have.
They got a billion people over there. They can't afford
twenty five percent unemployment, or there's going to be a
revolution of angry Chinamen, and Jixijinping is going to be
out and probably dead the way they handle things over there,
(04:31):
he is in a very dangerous situation, as almost all
communist dictators always are. Remember, Stalin has thought of as
someone who who ruled absolutely. Stalin always thought he was
going to get overthrown and assassinated. He thought another dirty
comedy was going to take him out, because that's what
they do. By the way, there are a lot of
people who believe another comedy did. But anyway, that's another story.
(04:55):
So Jijinping has a situation. He wants time w in part,
he thinks he needs Taiwan, meaning it's not just that
he wants it. China has always thought it belongs to them.
We won't let them have it, but they've always thought
it belongs to them. That's why even on their maps
(05:15):
it's not called Taiwan, right, it's just part of China.
He wants it, he also might need it, meaning he
needs a win, he needs a political win over there.
But there's another part. What if he struggles to get it.
What if he decides he wants to take Taiwan because
(05:37):
he can take Taiwan, but What if Taiwan puts up
a little bit of a fight. Remember, we ship Taiwan
things they need to defend themselves. What if Taiwan puts
up a bit of a fight. What if China takes
a loss here, a loss there, he might be in trouble.
Now back to Russia. Here's a headline for you how
(06:01):
Russia is helping China prepare to seize Taiwan. This is
about air dropping, armored vehicles and things like that. Again
stuff Russia has had to learn the hard way over
the last few years. China, they have not. Russia knows,
China doesn't. I am not saying there's about to be
a war with Taiwan, and I'm not saying you have
(06:23):
to stress about it. We've got enough of our own
problems here. But if there is, If Jeshin Ping decides
his power, maybe his life requires him to take Taiwan.
The chances the United States military is going to get
involved in some way, they're pretty strong. Trump's not going
(06:46):
to stand by and let it happen. Our policy towards
China taking Taiwan has always been very, very fuzzy. On purpose.
All of our politicians will talk out of both sides
of their mouths. Well, yes, militarily, we'll step into defend them. Well,
not really sure. We have a great relationship with China,
so no one exactly knows what our policy is, including China.
(07:09):
But I think it would be naive to think Donald
Trump would sit back and let China do it. Now,
we just had a long, hour long talk about the
shape of the military. It gets a little more real
when you consider there's a chance our military would have
to go around the world and possibly take on a
(07:32):
combined military of Russia and Chinese soldiers. It gets more
real when you think about your son or sadly your
daughter in the South China Sea on a navy ship
with a hypersonic missile coming her way. Gets real, doesn't it.
(07:52):
It gets real, and it gets real real fast. Wanted
to drive that point home. And you know, I forgot
to tease this next hour. About halfway through next hour,
I am going to bring on a friend of mine.
He's a merchant marine captain. His name is John Conrad,
very sharp guy, merchant marine captain. You know how we've
(08:16):
talked a lot about fire fighting on a ship. It
just always comes up, especially when need to discuss world
War two because it was so necessary with these huge
naval battles, especially against Japan. Ships are burning, kamakazies. You're
trying to put out fires. It's a nightmare. He has
not in World War Two, but he has had to
fight fires, big scary ones on ships in the middle
(08:40):
of the ocean. And I'm going to ask him about that.
We're going to talk about that. It's something to think about.
And it also drives home why we need a retrofitted
military that is prepped and ready to go. All right,
enough of that. It's a good day in a lot
of ways, really really rootly good day. The shutdown. How
(09:03):
many federal workers try to lay on, well, we made
you a lot. And that's only because of the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, yes, I think we're gonna get a bunch of
fired federal employees.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
And Democrats are in a very serious situation when it
comes to the shutdown. I'm not gonna spend a lot
of time on it, but their situation is they need
a political win, so they kind of need a shutdown
to show that they're taking it to Trump. Hey, legals,
we're trying to get you your money. They kind of
need that win. Make Trump look bad, make Republicans look bad.
(09:37):
But Trump has already said it's been well documented by now.
He's going to not lay off, not suspend. He's going
to use a shutdown as an opportunity to fire government
employees in mass Who do you think he's going to fire.
He's going to clean out the most committed communists he
(09:59):
can fire, and from the government communist and filtrators who've
been worming their way into those positions for years. You
could almost look at it as a massive mole hunt.
I don't know that I've ever been as excited for
anything politically as I am about the idea of the
government shutting down. Yes, shut it down, shut it down. Yes,
(10:20):
Also get yourself some chalk. Maybe that's part of why
I'm excited. Maybe that's why I'm in a good mood.
Me male vitality stacked Jesse, Testosterone stacked Jesse. Do you
want to join me? Yeah? And ladies too. You know
I have women senior citizens emailing me telling me this

to the Oracle. You love this one. It's a scream Baby,
The Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a Wonderful Tuesday. Member. You can email us Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com and we're gonna get to something. Actually,
(11:54):
Don Lemon of all people said, we'll get to the FBI,
We're gonna get to Patsy's email, but we don't have
time for that right now. We have to tackle bigger issues.
It is the semis it is the Semifinals. It's been
a long, brutal slog of a tournament. But we owe
it to America, you me, we owe it to the
(12:17):
world to figure out what is the crappiest country. And
because this is semifinals and you've already heard all the
horrible facts about these horrible countries over and over and
over again, I'm not going to play the whole fact
bit that we did before. We have a severely trimmed
down version of each country. And then what we're gonna
(12:41):
do is, you me, We're going to make a personal decision.
Where would we spend a week? Now? What is the
matchup tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's the twenty twenty five Crappiest Country in the World competition.
Tonight's matchup is between India and Somalia, brought to you
by Twin City Septic Paint the tawn Brown.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So let's meet our first contender. Our first contender that
I don't know that they were worthy of the semis.
It was your voting that brought them to the semis.
And look the way you've been voting, they might win
at all. India tourists get raped all the time. Wives
(13:31):
are routinely raped by their husbands in India. Children are
routinely raped in India. How many AE hundred and fifty
three million girls and seventy three million boys have been
raped in India? It is, It happens by gangs, it
(13:52):
happens at night. It by all appearances, is the rapist
country on the planet. On top of the the country
is most famous for being absolutely filthy in every possible way.
There's trash everywhere. But it's not only garbage, you see,
it's poop. It's p not just animal poop and p
(14:14):
human poop in p all over the streets. The entire
country apparently is like San Francisco. So that's not good India.
But tournament favorite, I would say Somalia is going to
be a tough nut to crarosm is a little bit
deeper and more embedded in Somalia. We're talking car bombs,
(14:36):
suicide vests. That Subaru outback might not be driven by
a lesbian, might actually be driven by a Muslim extremist.
Somalia also mixes in a healthy dose of piracy, which
is well known by now. Female genital mutilation might be
the most disgusting practice I have ever heard about. Just
(14:56):
know it's actually worse than you imagine seventy of Somalia
lives in extreme poverty. That country is run by war
lords and terrorists. The only good news I have out
of Somalia is so many of the bad people have
left Somalia. Of course, the bad news is they're all
now in Minneapolis. Yeah, they're all in Minneapolis, and they're
(15:19):
members of costs. It is a tragedy that Charlie Kirk
was killed in that way, but there is no legacy
to honor.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It was a legacy film.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, Despicable Demon. All right, here's how I want to
try to picture this, because it's hard to handicap this.
We have to spend a week there. You're not poor,
but you're not rich. You've got some walking around money,
but you're Look, there's not going to be private security
for you or me. If you got to go somewhere,
(15:49):
you got a cab it you're gonna have to stay
at a hotel. It doesn't have to be a rundown hotel.
It can be something, you know, nice, like a Best Western,
but not five star. A week in India. I feel
like I could do a week in India. I don't
want to. I have no desire to visit part of
(16:11):
that is because I despise curry. I just hate Indian food.
And part of it is because, as I said earlier,
I've had many friends who've been there and they say
it's estapho and it smells so bad, it smells so terrible.
But there are at least some beautiful landmarks, some beautiful
countryside in India. I like elephants. There are some famous
(16:38):
Indians of note that we should all acknowledge, people like
Gandhi and Sitting Bull. And I don't think you can
say the same for Somalia, even with walking around money,
even with the best western what is there to see?
Where are you going?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's not as if there's a single site take in.
In fact, you can't name a single Somali of note,
And in my opinion, that is the difference.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
But it's not just my opinion, of course, because as
you're well aware, I am a man of the people.
I'm a man of the people, and you you didn't
think this contest was that close. Somalia stomped India in
your voting, and I definitely can't overrule you here. India.
(17:31):
I am sorry. I want you to know you made
a great run at it. I know that you know
your effort was worthy. But as in all things, this
is how it goes in sports, in competition, in life.
Just because you think you're the nastiest, dirtiest, crappiest country
on the earth, that doesn't mean there's not a place
(17:54):
that's nastier and crappier and dirtier. And it's just going
to be very, very difficult to bounce Somalia out of
this tournament. Now, I will say the other two countries
who are going to square off the next semi final match,
our final semifinal match is North Korea versus Haiti. I
(18:15):
like both of their chances against Somalia. I'm not going
to say they will beat Somalia, but they're certainly both worthy.
But for now we have to acknowledge Somalia emerges from
the final four and they're going to be playing for
a title. So congratulations. Now we talk off in you
(18:36):
and me about the world of make Believe. Bob, my
wife she got a she got a message from one
of her relatives who's very upset with me. I am
going to read it for you next, and it is
amazing in every way. Before I read it to you,
(18:58):
I want you to know, we made a decision right
before the tournament today. We decided whoever wins the tournament
is going to get a little packet a relief Factor,
because look, imagine the pain in these countries. Imagine the what,
but imagine the daily chronic pain you must go through
(19:18):
if you're in Somalia. Oh no, is that a bug bite? Nope,
it's a terrorist show. Oh no, it's some kind of
poisonous steak. It's a black mamba. It's just a constant
life of pain. You don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live like that, and even Somalis
don't want to live like that. And Relief Factor is
here to take away everybody's pain. They're not ugly Americans
(19:40):
like me. They want everybody to be pain free. Try
Relief Factor for three weeks for the daily pain in
your life. A three week quick start is nineteen ninety five.
It's drug free. It's a supplement. Try it and you
will have a better life. Relief Factor dot com or
one eight hundred the number four relief. You're gonna love
(20:03):
this message. Next you're listening to the oracle, you love
this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Tuesday. Member.
If you've missed any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So all right,
I shouldn't laugh, but I'm I am laughing, and I'm
(20:28):
gonna have a hard time not laughing as I try
to get through this. But I need to explain the situation.
Democrats live in a world of make believe, as we've discussed,
and this is not just a few kooks. The average democrat.
Democrat believes, wow, that was a really bad slip of
the tongue there. The average democrat believes a lot of
(20:51):
things that simply are not real. They're black and white
not real. The average democrat believes Donald Trump called Nazis
very fine people. The average democrat believes Donald Trump told
people to inject bleach. The average Democrat believes George Floyd
died of an overdose. That a bunch of things that
are just simply factually incorrect. Therefore, I'm not being insulting.
(21:15):
They are insane. Most Democrats are insane, as insane as
the guy who believes he can fly, and it's because
of the world of make believe, that it's constructed for
them by the military and Democrat politicians. It just is
all right. Now. The result of that downstream of that
(21:36):
is they are desperate, bitter and angry about things that
aren't real. You know, obviously who Megan Kelly is. I'm
not going to insult your intelligence. Famous journalist Megan Kelly.
She has a Megan Kelly show. She's a friend of mine.
She is doing what are those speaking tours? You know,
(21:57):
people do this a bunch of different cities and they'll
have guests. And I've told you already that she's doing
one here in the Houston area. It's in Sugarland, Texas
on October twenty third, and I'm one of her guests.
It's me and Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior. Okay, So
Bob on social media just puts it out there. I
(22:21):
think she just put up the poster or something like
that and says, hey, I think it was on her
Twitter account or something like that, Hey, Jesse's doing this thing.
I'm excited at something like that. All right, one of
her relatives and I'm not going to say who. I'm
not going to say her name. I'm not going to
say how close the relation is just one of her relatives.
In response to just the poster going on, You know,
(22:44):
ob didn't take some strong political stance. It was just
Jesse's going to be speaking with Megan Kelly and Donald
Trump Junior promptly sent her a message. And I'm going
to read for you the message verbatim. Now i'll beep
out the names myself, but this is the message. I'm sorry,
(23:04):
but really you, I understand you can't help who you
love and all the bowl beep they do, but you, seriously,
you are all up in this maga beep too. I
don't know why I'm so disappointed or bothered. I guess
I just thought I knew you. And actually pause on this.
(23:25):
I'm done with the beeps from now on. It's going
to be this when there's a potty word. I guess
I just thought I knew you, which is stupid, right.
I just thought you were different from that. I hope
that while you're at your little Nazi pride get together,
you keep in mind that this administration is directly responsible
(23:47):
for killing my father, who believed Donald Trump and Fox
News when they said COVID was a hoax, just like
the flu By the way, that's not why the guy died.
He got COVID. He went to the hospitle they put
them on a ventilator and as everyone knows that that
ended up killing a lot of people. But again, facts
don't matter. I hope that you know they're trying to
(24:09):
erase my community of LGBTQA people. For the love of God,
I pray that you understand that if they have their way,
my honest, wonderful husband would be exiled to a country
he wasn't even born in. Please listen to what is
being said as if you are not white, straight and
(24:32):
indoctrinated into some cult, you are better than this. I
believe that that is from a relative in response to
a poster saying, I'm speaking somewhere with Megan Kelly. I
(24:53):
know that you have well I hope you don't, but
I bet you do have a democrat in your life.
Maybe it's on social media, maybe it's in your family,
maybe it's at work. And I know as I read
that little thing there, you were not shocked, were you,
because you can picture the democrat in your life speaking
(25:14):
in exactly this way. This is a tough place to
be as a country. We're going to get to some
emails here, but we have to We do have to
remember these people are all around us, and yes, they've
been lied to obviously, and the lies have led to
a mental brokenness. Something has broken inside of them. But wow, wow,
(25:38):
that is something Jesse. You are correct. The stiffest punishments
need to be reserved for corrupt government officials. There should
be a separate court like there is for the military,
for government officials. Hey, Chris, do you have that Do
you have that quiet skyes thing? I messaged you along
these same lines. There was testimony today in front of
(26:01):
Congress about punishments for government officials, and we talked earlier
in the show. We've talked a lot about what communists
do with power. I want you to listen to every
word of this. Listen to what the communists did in
the government when Joe Biden was president, and tell me
there shouldn't be some sort of military tribunal for everybody involved.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
As Labosco contacted us at a power oversight again in
the beginning of August twenty twenty four, when Air Marshalls
wanted to blow the whistle on another disturbing case, the
political targeting of Tulsi Gabbard through TSA's Quiet Skuies program.
The facts were alarming.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Gabbard was added.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
On July twenty third, twenty twenty four, just one day
after she made statements to Laura Ingram on Fox News
critical of Vice President Kamala Harris, who had just become
the presumptive Democratic Party of presidential nominee. Rather than using
her passport photo as required, TSA officials used her official
congressional photo, making clear that they knew exactly who she was.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The initial was a blur.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Disclosure were reported by Wendy stros Mahoney on Uncovered DC
and digitally on the Brianna Morella Show. Despite Empower's experience
with the DHSIG failing to investigate the Crowder situation, we
asked them to investigate here, and we also submitted disclosures
to Congress. Members of this committee and others pressed DHS
for answers and your persistence. Chairman Paul helped ensure Secretary
(27:20):
no and became aware of the quest Guy's program and
ended it.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
TAULC. Gabbard went on Fox News and she insulted Kamala Harris.
The next day, the TSA put her on a terrorist
watch list program, where they then followed her every time
she got on a plane. It's not only Taulsea Gabbard.
(27:49):
They did this to January six Ers. They did this
to private citizens. These communists inside of the federal government
treated every single agency as if it was a sword
they could use against their political opponents. These are deeply
(28:10):
evil acts, and the people who committed these crimes don't
need to be fired, they don't need resignations. These people
have to be tried and sent to prison. These are
crimes against the United States of America. These are high crimes.
I would actually venture to say a brand new, horrific prison,
(28:33):
possibly a labor camp, should be built for people inside
of the government who commit crimes like this. And I'm
not even exaggerating a little bit. You should spend the
rest of your life taking big rocks and turning them
into little rocks with a sledgehammer. If it occurs to
you to put your political opponents on a terrorist watch
(28:54):
list because they said something negative about you on Fox News,
that is as evil as Joseph Stalin, and that took
place inside your country and mine. It doesn't get more
serious than that, all right, do some more emails next,
he doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
(29:17):
Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on an
amazing Tuesday. Did you see how I did that? Chris?
I started talking right when they did that? Did he
deep beat? Like the stop thing and the music?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
What?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Chris? I did that on purpose because I'm a bit
of a showman. Right, don't roll your eyes I am.
I'm a bit of a showman. Oh, FBI January sixth
reports sets off a firestorm. Why did it take fifty
six months to disclose two seventy four agents at the Capitol?
Because Jesse told you what they were doing with all
(29:53):
that time. As soon as Donald Trump got elected, they
were burning and shredding everything they could and burying every
everything as deep as they possibly could, so we would
never find out just how soulless and evil the monsters
inside the FBI are. Hey, Jesse. Six weeks ago, I
spoke to customer service at a large grocery store about
(30:14):
their security. I told them I felt vulnerable. And they're
parking lot after dark because none of their numerous security
guards ever watched the lot. Instead, they're busy chatting with
each other staring at their phones or ignoring thieves who
don't pay customer service. Got defensive. They blamed the security company,
so I went into my New Yorker mode and got
(30:35):
in their faces. A week later, I returned to find
security guards everywhere doing their jobs. But it didn't last.
Securities back to screwing around, So it might take multiple tries.
Do you ever wonder if bored people secretly wish something
bad would happen so they could get on the news.
I'm here to tell you that board security guards spent
(30:57):
a lot of time daydreaming about something bad happens so
they could actually get a little action, because I was
that guy so many times. In the Marines. You are
always on fire, standing guard. You're standing guard on something
at all times. There always have to be guards here
and guards there. Even when everyone's asleep, they have to
(31:18):
post a fire watch and it could be by the way,
it could be two of you, which is brutal. Someone
has to be awake at all times. That is a rule.
Someone has to be awake at all times. So there's
always you're always on guard, there's always a watch, and
it's always night, and you're always tired, and you're always bored.
But it's not just. It's not just that they'll have
(31:41):
a place where they store ammo on the base. They
need guards there live ammunition, and you will catch yourself daydreaming.
In fact, when you get bored enough, you'll play out
the entire scenario in your head where somebody is approaching
and you had no choice but to get in a
big gunfight with him and put him down. Oh does
(32:03):
it sound like I've played this out in my head.
I've done it only about ten thousand times, as has
anybody who's ever stood guard anywhere at any given moment.
Now I'm glad you hounded them. But this is in
response to a security talk I had last night. I
was talking about Actually, my church, they have one ran
a cop in there. His face was stuck in his
(32:25):
phone as he sat there the entire freaking time, never
even looked up. There's security and then there's good security.
Don't think that those two are always, or even often
the same thing. They are not. All security is not equal,
and security is one of those things. It's very, very
(32:48):
difficult to find people with the self discipline to do
it well, and it's because nothing ever happens right for
most people, nothing ever happens. So even if it's your
first night and you're you're guarding a jewelry store, you've
(33:10):
been hired as a security guard for a jewelry store
and it's your first night, I bet you will be
pretty vigilant your first night. Every twenty thirty minutes, I
bet you'll get up, You'll walk around the store, take
a look outside, check the locks, make sure no one's
breaking in. You'll be pretty good your first night, maybe
even your second, maybe even your thirtieth night. On night
(33:35):
one hundred, when nothing has happened for one hundred nights,
that's the night instead of making your rounds, you know what,
set a little alarm on my phone, I'll grabbed twenty
minutes of shut eye. I was up late anyway, the
baby was crying, and that's when the worst thing happens.
(33:57):
It's difficult to find security at any level with self discipline.
And don't think that that's an insult to any particular
group or branch or anything else. Look, we had guys
fall asleep on security before, and believe me, they really
hated their lives when we found them. But we had
guys fall asleep on security running no I never did, Chris, No,
(34:19):
I never did. I was good about staying awake. I
could make myself stay awake. But this goes back to
my father. Remember I am a world class day dreamer
because of my dad and the road trips. Remember my dad.
We would take these long road trips in Montana and
he did not allow us to listen to music because
he didn't want music on and he didn't He also
(34:41):
didn't want to talk, so it was just me and
there were no phones. It was just me and my mind.
What Chris said it you've never been so tired. You
never fell asleep once. No, I never fell asleep on post. No, No,
I never did that. But it's very common. It's extremely
(35:03):
extremely common. I could keep myself awake. And where guys
doom themselves on post is they get comfortable. You need
to stand up, and really, when you're really fading away,
you need to move. And I don't care if that's
walking back and forth, I don't care if it's five
jumping jacks. What happens, though, is you're so exhausted, and
(35:26):
you're normally exhausted from the day, at least in the
Marine Corps. Again, you've been you've been doing a shoot
all day. You've been you did a long hump, you
did all kinds of stuff. Your body's tired and wants
to sleep. So if you're on watch, I'll just I mean,
I'm gonna stay awake. I'll just sit here all right now,
I'm sitting here. My back's a little sore. It was,
(35:50):
it was a long hump today. I'll just I'll just
lean back against this tree just for a minute. And
then the next thing you know, you are being punched
and kicked and they've taken your weapon away, and then
you have to do push ups until you vomit, and
then they'll make you put on your gas mask and
run wind sprints up the hill until you vomit again,
(36:11):
and then you have to clean your gas mask, and
then you have to do it all over again, and
it's really not fun. What Chris Chris said, that's preferable
to the enemy finding you asleep. Well, yeah, if you
found those punishments harsh, keep in mind that that's why
they make the punishment harsh, because if you do that
in combat, your buddies get their throats slit and they
(36:34):
don't go home to their wives. So there has to
be a severe punishment. Guys knew to live in mortal
fear of falling asleep on posts. We had one night
our company gunny, he went around and he tried to
steal people's weapons. Your weapon has to remain on you
at all times, including if you're in a sleeping bag,
(36:55):
if you're asleep, you have to have it in there
with you. And obviously that's uncomfortable. You did not want
to have your weapon taken in the middle of the night.
It was an ugly scene the next day. Anyway, enough
of that, let's talk about patsies. Let's talk about well,
these health rings. But first I'm going to talk about
(37:16):
something Don Lemon said about race. This would be offensive.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
