Medal of Honor: Hershel 'Woody' Williams. The age of the protesters has been reported all over the place. The reason is the older Democrat who still watch the mainstream media got the memo. The craziest person isn't the person with the purple hair, it's the 74 year old Democrat lady who has watched six decades of CNN. The 250th Army Parade and the current state of the military.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on an amazing Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
And of course we're gonna get back to some politics
here in a couple of minutes, after I get done
with Metal of Honor Monday, I am gonna describe what
we're gonna discuss. Why all these rioters, all the Noe
Kings rioters, Why was it so old there weren't many
young people? All this reporting about how old everyone was.
We're gonna discuss that, what's going on there. We'll talk
about that in a couple of minutes, but we don't
(00:46):
have time for that right now, because it's Monday. It's
the start of the second hour on Monday, and here
on the Jesse Kelly Show. That means it's time for
Medal of Honor Monday. We do what every money at
this time. Medal of Honor citations are available online for
free for everybody, multiple websites. What we do here you
(01:12):
can do with your children any day you wish, with
your class, have your class, do projects on it with
your sports team. You know who loves to hear stories
about heroes. Everyone, every man, woman, and child, and we
should remember these names, we should remember their deeds. We
should hold them up in front of the next generation
(01:33):
and say, look, that's what you want to be, all right,
And we take email suggestions. I should have already told
you in the show. You can email us your love,
your hate, your death threats, and maybe Medal of honor
citations you like. They are stacked up, right, so don't
think you're going to email it in and get it
next Monday. There's a lot of them, but we will
(01:53):
get to them eventually. We got this one. In fact,
I think we've done this one before, but it doesn't matter.
It's still freakin' awesome. Your menu, Whisper never read a
Medal of Honor citation until I accidentally found your show.
It's my favorite segment on all of radio. Now, please
consider highlighting our local Medal of Honor recipient, herschel Woody Williams.
(02:15):
Turns out he was a stud with a flamethrower who
knew all right, So I need to describe something because
this is this takes place on Ewojima, which obviously you
know World War two in the Pacific Ewojima. If you've
listened to this show, you were very familiar with this
war and this portion of the war because it's my
(02:37):
favorite part of history. World War two in the Pacific
is by far my favorite. I nerd out on it
every chance I get, every book I can read. I
just I love it. It was terrible and a variety
of reasons. I love it anyway. But people who aren't
familiar with it don't realize just how fanatical the Japanese
were in these places. They were fortifying these islands with
(03:00):
pill boxes and caves and tonnolds and everything else, and
they would pretty much die to the last man every time.
They are the only army in all of World War
Two that had no major units surrendering in mass It
never happened. The Japanese would die to the last man. Now,
(03:22):
that is a nightmare scenario. When you're trying to stop
an enemy who wants to die, it's just very, very,
very difficult. You have to go to extreme lengths to
do so. They'll hide in these bunkers, they will hide
in these caves, They'll dig into the caves, they'll bring
women and children in there. They'll dare you to come
(03:44):
kill them, because they want to kill at least one
of you before they go and Ewojima, specifically their commander,
knowing they were all going to die eventually. They knew
they were going to lose. When we came, he said,
your job is to take ten marines with you. You
killed ten, and then you can die. And they took
(04:05):
that stuff to heart. And that brings us to one
of the most terrible, wonderful inventions in military history, the
flame thrower. People have been using flames for military matters
for a long, long, long time, but during World War
(04:26):
Two is when the flame thrower really got prominence. How
do you get Japanese guys who are daring you to
come in? They want you to come in. How do
you get them out of a big pillbox? How do
you get them out of that cave? How do you
get them out of that tunnel? They want you to
(04:47):
come in, they want to die. What do you do? Well,
you find a way to spray flame in there and
you cook them. The Japanese, by every written account, they
were scared to death of flamethrowers for obvious reasons. Even
(05:07):
people who want to die don't want to burn to death.
It's a terrible, terrible way to go. Of course, Now,
what's that mean. It means when you were a flamethrower
operator in the Pacific, your life expectancy was not very
long because the Japanese, who didn't want to burn to death,
(05:29):
as soon as they identified you, were shooting at you,
trying to kill you. That brings us to the Medal
of Honor Citation for a herschel Woody Williams honoring those
who went above and beyond It's Medal of Honor Monday.
(05:53):
He was born in Quiet Dell, West Virginia, by the way,
for conspicuous gallantry and rapidity at the risk of his
life above and beyond the call of duty as demolition
sergeants serving with the twenty first Marin's third Marine Division
in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima Volcano
Islands the twenty third of February nineteen forty five, quick
(06:17):
to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly
to open a lane for the infantry through the network
of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines and black volcanic sands,
Corporal Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction
of devastating machine gun fire from the unyielding positions covered
(06:42):
by only four riflemen. He fought desperately for four hours
under terrific enemy small arms fire, and repeatedly returned to
his own lines to prepare demolition charges and obtain serviced
flame throwers, struggling back frequently to the rear of hostile
and placements to wipe out one position after another. Quick pause, Sorry,
(07:05):
a flame thrower back then had about thirty seconds of
you depressing the trigger, about thirty seconds of flame, and
then it was empty. So if you're wondering why he
kept having to go back for war, it didn't have
that much flame in it. You can only carry so
much fuel back to the thing. On one occasion, he
daringly mounted a pill box to insert the nozzle of
(07:27):
his flamethrower through the air vent, killing the occupants and
silencing the gun. On another, he grimly charged enemy riflemen
who attempted to stop him with bayonets and destroyed them
with a burst of flame from his weapon. His unyielding
determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy
(07:48):
resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most
fanatically defended Japanese strong points encountered by his regiment and
aided vitally in enabling his company to reach its objective.
Corporal williams aggressive fighting spirit and valiant devotion to duty
throughout this fiercely contested action sustain and enhance the highest
(08:10):
traditions of US Naval service. Woody Williams is a legend
in Marine Corps circles. I knew the name Woody Williams
when I was in and just to again explain armor tanks,
I'm gonna call it tanks, but this applies to all
armored vehicles, of which there are many different kinds. It's
(08:31):
very human to picture these things as virtually impenetrable, but
nothing could be further from the case. The opposite side
knows the equipment you have. They develop weapons, but I'll
call them bazookahs, but they weren't necessarily that, but bazookas
rocket launchers. They develop weapons that a single man can
(08:53):
carry that will take out your tank. You don't need
an opposing tank, you just need something, some sort of
a shorter fired weapon to take out their tank. The
Japanese had tons of these things, and we did not
have tanks that had the armor to withstand them. So
if you're going from point A to point B on
(09:14):
Ewo Jima, the Japanese are going to know all the
routes you would take. They have pill boxes set up
all throughout the routes. You'd roll out with four tanks
and they'd all get knocked out in five minutes. Boom
boom boom, boom boom, they're all gone. You're watching your
guys burn to death. You sit there and watch one
(09:36):
of your tanks get hit, watch one of your guys
crawl out of it on fire. You can get motivated
to do some very brave things. And Woody Williams should
have died about fifteen times that day, and most of
the men who were with him did die. And Woody
Williams would tell you too, he's blue in the face
(09:57):
that his medal of honor belonged to all of them,
not just him. A lot of men were with him
doing things just as brave. But they caught a bullet
and didn't get the recognition. He had bullets bouncing off
of his freaking flamethrower tank. Yeah, crazy story, Woody Williams.
Remember that, all right, Let's talk about the age of
(10:18):
all those no Kings rioters. Why why were they so old?
An amazing bit of audio. Actually, before we get to that,
let's get you a good employee. You need one, you
deserve one. You don't need that guy who weighs you down.
You look at him immediately and you think to yourself,
Oh gosh, what problems is he about to bring me?
(10:41):
Sure he's not bringing me solutions. Zip recruiter has what
you need. Zip Recruiter. It makes it fast and easy
to find that next guy, that next girl who's going
to take your company to the next level. Why all
the employee already there as you as you are listening
(11:02):
to me right now, that next guy or next girl,
they're sitting on ZipRecruiter waiting for you. Four out of
five employers find somebody in the first day. They're just
waiting for you to post a job. ZipRecruiter has this
matching technology links you up immediately. You want to try it.

(11:29):
Go get that next choice employee. We'll be back. He
doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right, Jesse Kelly.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Monday. Member,
you can email this show whatever you'd like Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. If you miss any part of it,
(11:51):
including our Alexander the Great History segment from well hours
from last Thursday, you can download the whole thing on
iHeart Spot and iTunes. Now, let's discuss all the reporting
that's out there today about how old all the rioters were,
or most of the rioters where I know there was
(12:13):
some young dirtball Antifa types, but all the reporting is
remarking on the age. Everybody wasn't a bunch of young
college students out there. It was a bunch of senior
service Democrats out there. Why does that happen? Why? Well,
listen to this woman.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I just I just stopped. I'm just so scared. I'm
seventy four years old. I worry about everything, and I
just I just I just seems so scary and upset.
And I don't and I don't understand why people didn't
(12:55):
voted for this person.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Seventy four years old. And she's a complete lunatic seventy
four years old, and she's shattered emotionally, mentally, probably irreparably
here's what's happened in the country. First, what do you
(13:21):
picture when I when I say close your eyes, don't
do this if you're driving. But what do you picture
when I say a seventy four year old woman? A grandma?
I bet you, I bet you she bakes some cookies.
I bet you money. She loves her grandkids. Probably, I
(13:45):
bet you. She probably has some sort of a hobby.
Maybe she makes quilts. My grandma Helen, my mom's mom,
made quilts. That was her thing. She quilted. Maybe she
plays bingo, Probably volunteers at her church. These are all
images that pop into your head when you picture a
seventy four year old woman. But let's talk about that.
(14:09):
Why is that what pops into your head? Here's why
you don't just magically turn into a seventy four year
old woman who loves to quilt and make cookies. You
end up as a seventy four year old woman who
loves her grandkids and chocolate chip cookies because of the
(14:32):
path you took in life. At some point in your life,
you chose to start following a path of love and
care and motherhood and walking down that path year after
year after year of your life. Has allowed you to
end up as a seventy four year old woman, as
(14:56):
a happy grandma who loves her grand kids and some
delicious oatmeal raisin cookies. You don't magically get there by
reaching the age of seventy four. You get there by
the path you chose. Now, let's flip it the other way.
How in the name of anything does a woman in
(15:19):
this country end up at seventy four years old? This
shattered why we're all the no Kings protests a bunch
of senior citizen democrats.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I just I'm just so scared. I'm not I'm seventy
four years old.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The path she chose. It's very common to look at
young communists and think to yourselves, that's the most insane
person on the planet. Look a look at this twenty
year old girl with her purple hair and a bunch
of rings in her face. She clearly is the most
(16:01):
mentally ill person in this country. In fact, we can't
even save her. Let me tell you something you may
not realize. She absolutely can be saved. Why she's still developing.
Her mind is still developing. She's still figuring out who
she is and what she believes. She has just now
(16:25):
only started down the path of communism. She is just
now beginning her journey on this path that will lead
her to endless misery. And if we get her off
of that path, changing her direction now, she can one
hundred percent be saved. But if you are sixty five,
(16:47):
seventy four years old, and for decades you've consumed American media.
You watch NBC every night, you're reading the New York Times,
you watch CNN, consuming endless amounts of poison, because that's
exactly what it is. It's not biased, it doesn't lean left.
It is dishonest, vile, communist poison. If you spent seventy
(17:11):
four years walking down that path, you don't end up
with quilts and grandkids and oatmeal raisin cookies. You end
up some deranged nutcase crying on television because Donald Trump
deported some illegals. You are unsavable, because you are so
far down the path, your mind is gone, completely gone.
(17:35):
We look at the young freak with purple hair, and
we say that's the craziest person. I would argue the
seventy four year old Democrat who's watched CNN for six
decades has a level of mental illness that has been
rarely achieved in the history of the planet, shattered in
every possible way. Why we're the only people who showed
(17:59):
up with the Protel sixty five plus, because those are
the only ones still watching NBC every single night, completely broken,
so far down the path they have no idea what's
up and what's down. We'll finish this thought in just
a moment. Before we do, let's talk about saving a
(18:22):
little baby, a defenseless baby. As you were listening to
the sound of my voice, he's in his mother's womb,
and unbeknownst to him, she has already decided to kill him.
She's been encouraged by friends and family. Just get rid
of it, Just get rid of it. Go to the clinic.
(18:42):
She's already doing some internet searches. How do I get
rid of this thing? And this is our chance, this
is our moment right now. We have to get to
her and offer her help, not scorn. Help is what
she needs. She needs an ultrasound because that baby, to
her is not a baby yet. She doesn't know it.
(19:03):
When she hears that heartbeat, she'll know it. That's the
magic of preborn. They give out free ultrasounds to these
mothers that boy, that little boy in her womb needs
you right now. Twenty eight dollars is what the ultrasound costs.
Preborn dot com slash Jesse. Preborn dot com slash Jesse
(19:24):
sponsored by Preborn. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, finishing
up our talk here on why why is it that you?
I bet you know someone like this, don't you? Do
you know an older Democrat, a senior citizen Democrat? Are
(19:47):
they more or less broken than the young ones? You see? Why?
Why are there seventy four year olds like this?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I just I'm just so scared. I'm seventy four years
so I.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Worry about because she traveled down a dark path years
ago and she now sits around consuming established legacy media
sources that you rejected long ago, and she's broken beyond repair.
(20:23):
It's a well picture this. What if I go home
tonight and I have a bottle of whiskey and I
drink the entire bottle of whiskey a whole ball in
one night. I'm gonna feel pretty bad tomorrow, right, but
not the end of the world. It's not going to
kill me. I may need the day off of work,
(20:46):
sitting home praying to the porcelain God. But it's not
going to be the end of the world. Give me
a day or two and I'll be back on my feet. Now,
what if I do that every single night for a year.
What happens to my body? My blood work, my liver,
my organs bad?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Okay? What about five years? Every day for five years?
What about ten? What about twenty years of that? That's
what's happened to older democrats who never broke free. Every
single year. Instead of getting older and wiser, they got
(21:27):
older and dumber every single year, older and more insane
every single year, older and more emotionally broken. And this
is almost entirely the fault of the American media, I
might point out, because they could still consume all the
traditional news sources who've been lying about everything under the
sun for decades. And so that's seventy four year old,
(21:50):
who should be wise, who should be up on it?
It's more broken than anyone. What do they think about
the protests? Oh, they're mostly peaceful. Why they think it
was mostly peaceful?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
A study from the Media Research Center shows that from
June eleventh to the twelfth CNN and MSNBC personalities insisted
the anti ice demonstrations were peaceful two hundred and eleven times.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
They one more time, two hundred and.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Eleven times they were peaceful.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Why do they think the stakes are so high? Why
do they take to the streets with their stupid signs?
Why is a seventy four year old woman, I'm so
scared because she tunes in and believes this crab, Donald
Trump is America's hitler. Yeah, that's why we think because
(22:44):
we have grandma's or maybe you are that grandma or grandpa,
who are wonderful and whys and you need their You
need their guidance in life. That's why I love talking
to order people so much. I just I like to
learn from someone who's lived it. We like to project
the age onto we see the age, and so we
project that wisdom onto people who have the same wrinkles
(23:06):
in the same gray hair. It don't work that way.
You walk down that path for long enough, you're a goner.
Lets do some emails, Jesse before I rant I'm in
the army or I'm army eighties and nineties, proud of
it to my core, but I was not impressed with
the marching of the folks in the parade. He's talking
(23:28):
about the Army parade. Some had no idea what they
were doing. The NCO of those groups should have had
them at half step. The pace was too slow for
a forward march. Was it bad leadership? Or is our
military in general this bad now? Or am I just
expecting too much? Okay, So, first of all, I thought
(23:49):
that Army parade was really great. I thought it came
off really really great. I thought Trump doing did you
watch any of his He did the re enlistment ceremony
when you re enlist, which I never did. They have
a ceremony for you. It's a celebration, right, thank you
for staying in. Well, a bunch of Army soldiers re
enlisted and Trump did the swearing in of their re enlistment.
(24:12):
He did it as part of this Yeah, Chris, it
was super cool. They were standing in front of him
with their hand up. I thought it was great, and
I thought Trump handled it really well, because it can
be tempting to make that about you. His speech was
all about them, their service the army that I thought
it was awesome. I thought it was awesome. I have
heard some complaints like this one about the marching about
(24:34):
all that. Okay, I watched it. I noticed it wasn't
necessarily the most in sync marching in the world. And
one of you old school army dogs like this guy,
I'm certainly not going to try to talk you off
the ledge on that. I expect better. I expect better,
I get that. But I will say this if I
(24:57):
have to make a political point about it, and I will.
You ask about the state of our military today, Here's
what's been explained to me, So I'm going to pass
it along to you. The frontline troops, the combat front
line troops. I'm talking infantry guys, the Marine Corps, infantry, Army, infantry,
(25:21):
army rangers. That the guys who are actually shooting and
blowing up other people and getting shot and blown up themselves.
They are as good now as they have ever been.
I'm passing along what I've been told. Okay, they are
as good now as they've ever been. Tactics only get
better over time, right, You learn as you learn, the
(25:42):
tactics get better, training gets better, you learn what works
doesn't work. Our guys now are as good as they've
ever been. But remember, everybody puts a different number on this.
I was always told for every one frontline guy, it
takes seven or eight people behind him. I'm talking about
(26:03):
supply people in medical and cooks and things. It takes
a bunch of support personnel to keep the frontline guys
fed and watered, to have.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Everything they need.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, So every time you see one of those army
ranger types, he needs a lot of guys, but he
needs the supply clerk. Those are important jobs. All those
jobs are important. Our frontline guys are better than they've
ever been. The people behind them are as bad as
they've ever been. I'm passing along what I've been told.
I haven't been in since two thousand and four, so
(26:34):
I'm not giving you first hand stuff. I was in
the infantry. We never really worked with anyone else for
the most part, so I wasn't with the supply clerk
unless I needed to go down and grab something. We
didn't do much of that. The infantry, at least when
I was in the infantry, stayed with the infantry. We
trained with the infantry. That was who we stuck with.
(26:57):
What has been told to me again is that the
frontline troops are as great as ever and their backup
is as bad as ever. Have you seen pictures? I
saw a picture recently. They were having a ceremony the
Navy was of a bunch of people who'd made I
think it was Master Chief. I forget what it was.
(27:18):
I don't want to misspeak on the subject, but I
think there were seven or eight of them in the picture.
At least half of them were fat. One lady was
morbidly obese. It looked like if she farted, her Navy
uniform was just gonna blow up. It looked unbelievably unprofessional.
(27:39):
We have spent years filling up the military with a
bunch of dirty commies, lowering the standards. You spend five
of your eight hours of the day learning about your
white privilege. They had to try to shoehorn women into
as many positions as possible, so they tried to lower
(28:00):
this standard and lower that standard, lower the standard for
the men too. As standards get lower, you've filled up
the military with a whole host of turds. And the
problem with that is that army ranger he needs those
people behind him. He needs good people behind him. He
(28:21):
can't be tough and shoot people in the face if
he can't eat so we'll move off this. I'm gonna
do some other emails, but that's the story. We'll be back.
You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Remember, you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. Before we get back to the emails, here's
another great example. Why is that seventy year old man
instead of being this wise, wonderful soul like maybe you
all or your grandpa was. Why is he a deranged
lunatic with a no King's sign on Saturday? Why is
(29:08):
he still tunes into CBS all the time? Old habits
die ard. He tunes in to face the nation to
get the news he hears questions like this from Margaret Brennan.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You referred to that as the threat from the radical left,
an overwhelming show of force to end the rights and
talked about communities being terrorized. Given the amount of tention
in the country right now, is that really the language
to use.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Yes, when you see left wing street militias who are
throwing bricks and frozen water bottles at police officers and
shooting them with fireworks, and unfortunately, you have mayors and
governors in some places that won't allow police to maintain order.
The next step is to call in the national guard.
And if the governor won't call in the national guard,
then the president has to federalize them. We always hope
that the local police are allowed to do their job
(29:55):
and have sufficient numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, you got it, But you heard her question. Why
is that guy completely broken? He's been consuming CBS for
how many years? You might as well. Look, you might
as well be doing meth for sixty years. You do
it once, you probably get away with it. Please, don't
ever do it once. Just kind of stay away from meth.
(30:17):
You do it once, you can probably get away with it.
You do it for seventy years, what's your mind look like?
What's your body look like? That's what it's like when
you're a democrat for seventy years. You don't get wiser,
You get dumber, you get more insane. Jesse. Considering the
US has stealth bombers and heavy bunker busting bombs, why
isn't the Iran attack a joint venture between Israel and
(30:41):
the US. What do you think? Why do you think
they're going it alone, all right. Trump talked a little
bit about some ran stuff that I.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Hear you without reel is achievable within days, within weeks.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Is there that kind of runway?
Speaker 8 (30:57):
Yeah, it's and hieva rum with both parties after.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Agree, Sure, Trump is still out there trying to make
a deal. He put out a social media post a law.
I'm not going to read it for you here, but
remember how many times we talked about Trump is good
at foreign policy because he looks at everything like a
business deal. For Trump, it's crazy for people to fight
for countries to fight. Trump sees just opportunity there. Hey,
that's his social media post. It echoed everything we talk
(31:22):
about when it comes to its foreign policy. Why don't
we make a deal. We can do a trade deal.
We'll do a great deal. Why don't we just do
a deal?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Is there?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Ony Ron should come together do a deal? Here he
was again, what have you heard?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
What if you heard from the audience?
Speaker 9 (31:34):
They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.
I had sixty days and they had sixty days, and
on the sixty first day I said, we don't have
a deal. They have to make a deal.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
And it's painful for both parties. But I'd say Iran
is not winning this war and they should talk, and
they should talk immediately before it's too late.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Okay, So you say, why aren't we backing them? First,
We are backing them. I understand that that's not public.
We have come out and we have publicly said we
are hands off here. Iran better keep their hands off
our troops. If they don't keep their hands off our troops,
(32:20):
there's going to be problems. But this is between Israel
and Iran. We have absolutely nothing to do with this whatsoever.
That's a total lie. All right. That's to be clear
about this, And I'm not I'm not even criticizing them.
That's how foreign policy works, That's how media works. I
get that. If you think Benjamin net and Yahoo launched
(32:40):
all these airstrikes on Iran without Donald Trump's full throat
at approval, well, I have a bridge in San Francisco
I would love to sell you. Reach out to the show.
I'll give you a great price on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Don't be naive. So they did have our support, meaning
our verbal support. They almost undoubtedly have our intelligence support.
(33:07):
Israeli intelligence Masad is of course top notch We've talked
about it before. Do you think they nailed all those
targets exactly without American satellites providing some intelligence, without us
providing on the ground intelligence. Of course they have our support.
Now you ask about stealth bombers. Why aren't we throwing
(33:27):
into bunker buster stuff and stealth bombers, Well, look at
this from Donald Trump's perspective. Think about this. You don't
like Iran, but you're willing to do a deal with Iran.
They have a bunch of oil. China gets about twenty
percent of their oil from Iran, so that they have resources.
You don't like them, but you're willing to do a
(33:50):
deal with them. Israel is obviously going to be much
more motivated than we are to take out Iran because
Iran is an imminent thing threat to Israel. They're not
to us. They can commit acts of terror and things
like that. And LOOKT and Yahoo can sell this all
day long, but no, it doesn't watch.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
Look I understand America first, I don't understand America dead.
That's what these people want. They chant death to America.
So we're doing something that is in the service of
mankind of humanity, and it's a battle of good against evil.
America does should and does stand with a good That's
what President Trump is doing, and I deeply appreciate his support.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, no, Iran presents a threat to Israel, not as
much to us. So if you're Donald Trump, if Israel
they have the equipment to handle this themselves, and you
don't have to get your hands dirty, you don't have
to anger your America first allies who don't want to
get involved. If Israel's already beating the crap out of them,
(34:56):
why do you want us involved? And I'll tell you
something else, Oh, something people maybe aren't thinking of because
everyone gets too emotional with these things. I understand it's emotional.
It's an emotional topic, but are you sure you want
to own it? You ever heard the phrase you break it,
you buy it. The goal is regime change, for that's
(35:20):
Israel's goal, and I understand why it's their goal, not
faulting them for that. How's regime change work out? Remember,
wanting the current dirt ball is gone has never guaranteed
you're going to get something better to replace them. That's
(35:40):
generally not how it works at all. It rarely works
out that way. What if we get overtly involved. What
if the next Iranian government's worse than this one, if
Israel's handling it and we can at least publicly have
our hands washed of it, not a bad move, to
be honest with you. All right, Lets move off of this.
(36:02):
I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's talk
about Chuck Schumer China involved in our local politics. In fact,
before we do that, let's nominate a veteran to get
a free American flag. Have you done that yet? Pure
talk is giving a portion of every sale to Allegiance Flags.
(36:23):
They're doing a thousand flag giveaway Allegiance Flags. Member. They're
American flags, made in America before Independence Day. Pure talk
is trying to put a thousand of these flags in
the hands of a veteran. If you know a veteran
and you want them that honor, you want to give
them that honor. Puretalk dot com slash nominate, Go nominate somebody,
(36:48):
Honor somebody. It means a lot to people, it really does.
That kind of thing means a lot to people. And
while you're there, maybe consider switching to the cell phone
company that does things like this. When's the last time
at and T gave out American flags to veterans. Dial
pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly, you keep
(37:08):
your phone, You keep your number. Switch to Pure Talk
and go nominate a vet pound two five zero, say
Jesse Kelly. We'll be back.
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on an amazing Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
And of course we're gonna get back to some politics
here in a couple of minutes, after I get done
with Metal of Honor Monday, I am gonna describe what
we're gonna discuss. Why all these rioters, all the Noe
Kings rioters, Why was it so old there weren't many
young people? All this reporting about how old everyone was.
We're gonna discuss that, what's going on there. We'll talk
about that in a couple of minutes, but we don't
(00:46):
have time for that right now, because it's Monday. It's
the start of the second hour on Monday, and here
on the Jesse Kelly Show. That means it's time for
Medal of Honor Monday. We do what every money at
this time. Medal of Honor citations are available online for
free for everybody, multiple websites. What we do here you
(01:12):
can do with your children any day you wish, with
your class, have your class, do projects on it with
your sports team. You know who loves to hear stories
about heroes. Everyone, every man, woman, and child, and we
should remember these names, we should remember their deeds. We
should hold them up in front of the next generation
(01:33):
and say, look, that's what you want to be, all right,
And we take email suggestions. I should have already told
you in the show. You can email us your love,
your hate, your death threats, and maybe Medal of honor
citations you like. They are stacked up, right, so don't
think you're going to email it in and get it
next Monday. There's a lot of them, but we will
(01:53):
get to them eventually. We got this one. In fact,
I think we've done this one before, but it doesn't matter.
It's still freakin' awesome. Your menu, Whisper never read a
Medal of Honor citation until I accidentally found your show.
It's my favorite segment on all of radio. Now, please
consider highlighting our local Medal of Honor recipient, herschel Woody Williams.
(02:15):
Turns out he was a stud with a flamethrower who
knew all right, So I need to describe something because
this is this takes place on Ewojima, which obviously you
know World War two in the Pacific Ewojima. If you've
listened to this show, you were very familiar with this
war and this portion of the war because it's my
(02:37):
favorite part of history. World War two in the Pacific
is by far my favorite. I nerd out on it
every chance I get, every book I can read. I
just I love it. It was terrible and a variety
of reasons. I love it anyway. But people who aren't
familiar with it don't realize just how fanatical the Japanese
were in these places. They were fortifying these islands with
(03:00):
pill boxes and caves and tonnolds and everything else, and
they would pretty much die to the last man every time.
They are the only army in all of World War
Two that had no major units surrendering in mass It
never happened. The Japanese would die to the last man. Now,
(03:22):
that is a nightmare scenario. When you're trying to stop
an enemy who wants to die, it's just very, very,
very difficult. You have to go to extreme lengths to
do so. They'll hide in these bunkers, they will hide
in these caves, They'll dig into the caves, they'll bring
women and children in there. They'll dare you to come
(03:44):
kill them, because they want to kill at least one
of you before they go and Ewojima, specifically their commander,
knowing they were all going to die eventually. They knew
they were going to lose. When we came, he said,
your job is to take ten marines with you. You
killed ten, and then you can die. And they took
(04:05):
that stuff to heart. And that brings us to one
of the most terrible, wonderful inventions in military history, the
flame thrower. People have been using flames for military matters
for a long, long, long time, but during World War
(04:26):
Two is when the flame thrower really got prominence. How
do you get Japanese guys who are daring you to
come in? They want you to come in. How do
you get them out of a big pillbox? How do
you get them out of that cave? How do you
get them out of that tunnel? They want you to
(04:47):
come in, they want to die. What do you do? Well,
you find a way to spray flame in there and
you cook them. The Japanese, by every written account, they
were scared to death of flamethrowers for obvious reasons. Even
(05:07):
people who want to die don't want to burn to death.
It's a terrible, terrible way to go. Of course, Now,
what's that mean. It means when you were a flamethrower
operator in the Pacific, your life expectancy was not very
long because the Japanese, who didn't want to burn to death,
(05:29):
as soon as they identified you, were shooting at you,
trying to kill you. That brings us to the Medal
of Honor Citation for a herschel Woody Williams honoring those
who went above and beyond It's Medal of Honor Monday.
(05:53):
He was born in Quiet Dell, West Virginia, by the way,
for conspicuous gallantry and rapidity at the risk of his
life above and beyond the call of duty as demolition
sergeants serving with the twenty first Marin's third Marine Division
in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima Volcano
Islands the twenty third of February nineteen forty five, quick
(06:17):
to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly
to open a lane for the infantry through the network
of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines and black volcanic sands,
Corporal Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction
of devastating machine gun fire from the unyielding positions covered
(06:42):
by only four riflemen. He fought desperately for four hours
under terrific enemy small arms fire, and repeatedly returned to
his own lines to prepare demolition charges and obtain serviced
flame throwers, struggling back frequently to the rear of hostile
and placements to wipe out one position after another. Quick pause, Sorry,
(07:05):
a flame thrower back then had about thirty seconds of
you depressing the trigger, about thirty seconds of flame, and
then it was empty. So if you're wondering why he
kept having to go back for war, it didn't have
that much flame in it. You can only carry so
much fuel back to the thing. On one occasion, he
daringly mounted a pill box to insert the nozzle of
(07:27):
his flamethrower through the air vent, killing the occupants and
silencing the gun. On another, he grimly charged enemy riflemen
who attempted to stop him with bayonets and destroyed them
with a burst of flame from his weapon. His unyielding
determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy
(07:48):
resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most
fanatically defended Japanese strong points encountered by his regiment and
aided vitally in enabling his company to reach its objective.
Corporal williams aggressive fighting spirit and valiant devotion to duty
throughout this fiercely contested action sustain and enhance the highest
(08:10):
traditions of US Naval service. Woody Williams is a legend
in Marine Corps circles. I knew the name Woody Williams
when I was in and just to again explain armor tanks,
I'm gonna call it tanks, but this applies to all
armored vehicles, of which there are many different kinds. It's
(08:31):
very human to picture these things as virtually impenetrable, but
nothing could be further from the case. The opposite side
knows the equipment you have. They develop weapons, but I'll
call them bazookahs, but they weren't necessarily that, but bazookas
rocket launchers. They develop weapons that a single man can
(08:53):
carry that will take out your tank. You don't need
an opposing tank, you just need something, some sort of
a shorter fired weapon to take out their tank. The
Japanese had tons of these things, and we did not
have tanks that had the armor to withstand them. So
if you're going from point A to point B on
(09:14):
Ewo Jima, the Japanese are going to know all the
routes you would take. They have pill boxes set up
all throughout the routes. You'd roll out with four tanks
and they'd all get knocked out in five minutes. Boom
boom boom, boom boom, they're all gone. You're watching your
guys burn to death. You sit there and watch one
(09:36):
of your tanks get hit, watch one of your guys
crawl out of it on fire. You can get motivated
to do some very brave things. And Woody Williams should
have died about fifteen times that day, and most of
the men who were with him did die. And Woody
Williams would tell you too, he's blue in the face
(09:57):
that his medal of honor belonged to all of them,
not just him. A lot of men were with him
doing things just as brave. But they caught a bullet
and didn't get the recognition. He had bullets bouncing off
of his freaking flamethrower tank. Yeah, crazy story, Woody Williams.
Remember that, all right, Let's talk about the age of
(10:18):
all those no Kings rioters. Why why were they so old?
An amazing bit of audio. Actually, before we get to that,
let's get you a good employee. You need one, you
deserve one. You don't need that guy who weighs you down.
You look at him immediately and you think to yourself,
Oh gosh, what problems is he about to bring me?
(10:41):
Sure he's not bringing me solutions. Zip recruiter has what
you need. Zip Recruiter. It makes it fast and easy
to find that next guy, that next girl who's going
to take your company to the next level. Why all
the employee already there as you as you are listening
(11:02):
to me right now, that next guy or next girl,
they're sitting on ZipRecruiter waiting for you. Four out of
five employers find somebody in the first day. They're just
waiting for you to post a job. ZipRecruiter has this
matching technology links you up immediately. You want to try it.
ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse, ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse.
(11:29):
Go get that next choice employee. We'll be back. He
doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right, Jesse Kelly.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Monday. Member,
you can email this show whatever you'd like Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. If you miss any part of it,
(11:51):
including our Alexander the Great History segment from well hours
from last Thursday, you can download the whole thing on
iHeart Spot and iTunes. Now, let's discuss all the reporting
that's out there today about how old all the rioters were,
or most of the rioters where I know there was
(12:13):
some young dirtball Antifa types, but all the reporting is
remarking on the age. Everybody wasn't a bunch of young
college students out there. It was a bunch of senior
service Democrats out there. Why does that happen? Why? Well,
listen to this woman.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I just I just stopped. I'm just so scared. I'm
seventy four years old. I worry about everything, and I
just I just I just seems so scary and upset.
And I don't and I don't understand why people didn't
(12:55):
voted for this person.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Seventy four years old. And she's a complete lunatic seventy
four years old, and she's shattered emotionally, mentally, probably irreparably
here's what's happened in the country. First, what do you
(13:21):
picture when I when I say close your eyes, don't
do this if you're driving. But what do you picture
when I say a seventy four year old woman? A grandma?
I bet you, I bet you she bakes some cookies.
I bet you money. She loves her grandkids. Probably, I
(13:45):
bet you. She probably has some sort of a hobby.
Maybe she makes quilts. My grandma Helen, my mom's mom,
made quilts. That was her thing. She quilted. Maybe she
plays bingo, Probably volunteers at her church. These are all
images that pop into your head when you picture a
seventy four year old woman. But let's talk about that.
(14:09):
Why is that what pops into your head? Here's why
you don't just magically turn into a seventy four year
old woman who loves to quilt and make cookies. You
end up as a seventy four year old woman who
loves her grandkids and chocolate chip cookies because of the
(14:32):
path you took in life. At some point in your life,
you chose to start following a path of love and
care and motherhood and walking down that path year after
year after year of your life. Has allowed you to
end up as a seventy four year old woman, as
(14:56):
a happy grandma who loves her grand kids and some
delicious oatmeal raisin cookies. You don't magically get there by
reaching the age of seventy four. You get there by
the path you chose. Now, let's flip it the other way.
How in the name of anything does a woman in
(15:19):
this country end up at seventy four years old? This
shattered why we're all the no Kings protests a bunch
of senior citizen democrats.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I just I'm just so scared. I'm not I'm seventy
four years old.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The path she chose. It's very common to look at
young communists and think to yourselves, that's the most insane
person on the planet. Look a look at this twenty
year old girl with her purple hair and a bunch
of rings in her face. She clearly is the most
(16:01):
mentally ill person in this country. In fact, we can't
even save her. Let me tell you something you may
not realize. She absolutely can be saved. Why she's still developing.
Her mind is still developing. She's still figuring out who
she is and what she believes. She has just now
(16:25):
only started down the path of communism. She is just
now beginning her journey on this path that will lead
her to endless misery. And if we get her off
of that path, changing her direction now, she can one
hundred percent be saved. But if you are sixty five,
(16:47):
seventy four years old, and for decades you've consumed American media.
You watch NBC every night, you're reading the New York Times,
you watch CNN, consuming endless amounts of poison, because that's
exactly what it is. It's not biased, it doesn't lean left.
It is dishonest, vile, communist poison. If you spent seventy
(17:11):
four years walking down that path, you don't end up
with quilts and grandkids and oatmeal raisin cookies. You end
up some deranged nutcase crying on television because Donald Trump
deported some illegals. You are unsavable, because you are so
far down the path, your mind is gone, completely gone.
(17:35):
We look at the young freak with purple hair, and
we say that's the craziest person. I would argue the
seventy four year old Democrat who's watched CNN for six
decades has a level of mental illness that has been
rarely achieved in the history of the planet, shattered in
every possible way. Why we're the only people who showed
(17:59):
up with the Protel sixty five plus, because those are
the only ones still watching NBC every single night, completely broken,
so far down the path they have no idea what's
up and what's down. We'll finish this thought in just
a moment. Before we do, let's talk about saving a
(18:22):
little baby, a defenseless baby. As you were listening to
the sound of my voice, he's in his mother's womb,
and unbeknownst to him, she has already decided to kill him.
She's been encouraged by friends and family. Just get rid
of it, Just get rid of it. Go to the clinic.
(18:42):
She's already doing some internet searches. How do I get
rid of this thing? And this is our chance, this
is our moment right now. We have to get to
her and offer her help, not scorn. Help is what
she needs. She needs an ultrasound because that baby, to
her is not a baby yet. She doesn't know it.
(19:03):
When she hears that heartbeat, she'll know it. That's the
magic of preborn. They give out free ultrasounds to these
mothers that boy, that little boy in her womb needs
you right now. Twenty eight dollars is what the ultrasound costs.
Preborn dot com slash Jesse. Preborn dot com slash Jesse
(19:24):
sponsored by Preborn. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, finishing
up our talk here on why why is it that you?
I bet you know someone like this, don't you? Do
you know an older Democrat, a senior citizen Democrat? Are
(19:47):
they more or less broken than the young ones? You see? Why?
Why are there seventy four year olds like this?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I just I'm just so scared. I'm seventy four years
so I.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Worry about because she traveled down a dark path years
ago and she now sits around consuming established legacy media
sources that you rejected long ago, and she's broken beyond repair.
(20:23):
It's a well picture this. What if I go home
tonight and I have a bottle of whiskey and I
drink the entire bottle of whiskey a whole ball in
one night. I'm gonna feel pretty bad tomorrow, right, but
not the end of the world. It's not going to
kill me. I may need the day off of work,
(20:46):
sitting home praying to the porcelain God. But it's not
going to be the end of the world. Give me
a day or two and I'll be back on my feet. Now,
what if I do that every single night for a year.
What happens to my body? My blood work, my liver,
my organs bad?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Okay? What about five years? Every day for five years?
What about ten? What about twenty years of that? That's
what's happened to older democrats who never broke free. Every
single year. Instead of getting older and wiser, they got
(21:27):
older and dumber every single year, older and more insane
every single year, older and more emotionally broken. And this
is almost entirely the fault of the American media, I
might point out, because they could still consume all the
traditional news sources who've been lying about everything under the
sun for decades. And so that's seventy four year old,
(21:50):
who should be wise, who should be up on it?
It's more broken than anyone. What do they think about
the protests? Oh, they're mostly peaceful. Why they think it
was mostly peaceful?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
A study from the Media Research Center shows that from
June eleventh to the twelfth CNN and MSNBC personalities insisted
the anti ice demonstrations were peaceful two hundred and eleven times.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
They one more time, two hundred and.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Eleven times they were peaceful.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Why do they think the stakes are so high? Why
do they take to the streets with their stupid signs?
Why is a seventy four year old woman, I'm so
scared because she tunes in and believes this crab, Donald
Trump is America's hitler. Yeah, that's why we think because
(22:44):
we have grandma's or maybe you are that grandma or grandpa,
who are wonderful and whys and you need their You
need their guidance in life. That's why I love talking
to order people so much. I just I like to
learn from someone who's lived it. We like to project
the age onto we see the age, and so we
project that wisdom onto people who have the same wrinkles
(23:06):
in the same gray hair. It don't work that way.
You walk down that path for long enough, you're a goner.
Lets do some emails, Jesse before I rant I'm in
the army or I'm army eighties and nineties, proud of
it to my core, but I was not impressed with
the marching of the folks in the parade. He's talking
(23:28):
about the Army parade. Some had no idea what they
were doing. The NCO of those groups should have had
them at half step. The pace was too slow for
a forward march. Was it bad leadership? Or is our
military in general this bad now? Or am I just
expecting too much? Okay, So, first of all, I thought
(23:49):
that Army parade was really great. I thought it came
off really really great. I thought Trump doing did you
watch any of his He did the re enlistment ceremony
when you re enlist, which I never did. They have
a ceremony for you. It's a celebration, right, thank you
for staying in. Well, a bunch of Army soldiers re
enlisted and Trump did the swearing in of their re enlistment.
(24:12):
He did it as part of this Yeah, Chris, it
was super cool. They were standing in front of him
with their hand up. I thought it was great, and
I thought Trump handled it really well, because it can
be tempting to make that about you. His speech was
all about them, their service the army that I thought
it was awesome. I thought it was awesome. I have
heard some complaints like this one about the marching about
(24:34):
all that. Okay, I watched it. I noticed it wasn't
necessarily the most in sync marching in the world. And
one of you old school army dogs like this guy,
I'm certainly not going to try to talk you off
the ledge on that. I expect better. I expect better,
I get that. But I will say this if I
(24:57):
have to make a political point about it, and I will.
You ask about the state of our military today, Here's
what's been explained to me, So I'm going to pass
it along to you. The frontline troops, the combat front
line troops. I'm talking infantry guys, the Marine Corps, infantry, Army, infantry,
(25:21):
army rangers. That the guys who are actually shooting and
blowing up other people and getting shot and blown up themselves.
They are as good now as they have ever been.
I'm passing along what I've been told. Okay, they are
as good now as they've ever been. Tactics only get
better over time, right, You learn as you learn, the
(25:42):
tactics get better, training gets better, you learn what works
doesn't work. Our guys now are as good as they've
ever been. But remember, everybody puts a different number on this.
I was always told for every one frontline guy, it
takes seven or eight people behind him. I'm talking about
(26:03):
supply people in medical and cooks and things. It takes
a bunch of support personnel to keep the frontline guys
fed and watered, to have.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Everything they need.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, So every time you see one of those army
ranger types, he needs a lot of guys, but he
needs the supply clerk. Those are important jobs. All those
jobs are important. Our frontline guys are better than they've
ever been. The people behind them are as bad as
they've ever been. I'm passing along what I've been told.
I haven't been in since two thousand and four, so
(26:34):
I'm not giving you first hand stuff. I was in
the infantry. We never really worked with anyone else for
the most part, so I wasn't with the supply clerk
unless I needed to go down and grab something. We
didn't do much of that. The infantry, at least when
I was in the infantry, stayed with the infantry. We
trained with the infantry. That was who we stuck with.
(26:57):
What has been told to me again is that the
frontline troops are as great as ever and their backup
is as bad as ever. Have you seen pictures? I
saw a picture recently. They were having a ceremony the
Navy was of a bunch of people who'd made I
think it was Master Chief. I forget what it was.
(27:18):
I don't want to misspeak on the subject, but I
think there were seven or eight of them in the picture.
At least half of them were fat. One lady was
morbidly obese. It looked like if she farted, her Navy
uniform was just gonna blow up. It looked unbelievably unprofessional.
(27:39):
We have spent years filling up the military with a
bunch of dirty commies, lowering the standards. You spend five
of your eight hours of the day learning about your
white privilege. They had to try to shoehorn women into
as many positions as possible, so they tried to lower
(28:00):
this standard and lower that standard, lower the standard for
the men too. As standards get lower, you've filled up
the military with a whole host of turds. And the
problem with that is that army ranger he needs those
people behind him. He needs good people behind him. He
(28:21):
can't be tough and shoot people in the face if
he can't eat so we'll move off this. I'm gonna
do some other emails, but that's the story. We'll be back.
You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Remember, you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. Before we get back to the emails, here's
another great example. Why is that seventy year old man
instead of being this wise, wonderful soul like maybe you
all or your grandpa was. Why is he a deranged
lunatic with a no King's sign on Saturday? Why is
(29:08):
he still tunes into CBS all the time? Old habits
die ard. He tunes in to face the nation to
get the news he hears questions like this from Margaret Brennan.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You referred to that as the threat from the radical left,
an overwhelming show of force to end the rights and
talked about communities being terrorized. Given the amount of tention
in the country right now, is that really the language
to use.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Yes, when you see left wing street militias who are
throwing bricks and frozen water bottles at police officers and
shooting them with fireworks, and unfortunately, you have mayors and
governors in some places that won't allow police to maintain order.
The next step is to call in the national guard.
And if the governor won't call in the national guard,
then the president has to federalize them. We always hope
that the local police are allowed to do their job
(29:55):
and have sufficient numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, you got it, But you heard her question. Why
is that guy completely broken? He's been consuming CBS for
how many years? You might as well. Look, you might
as well be doing meth for sixty years. You do
it once, you probably get away with it. Please, don't
ever do it once. Just kind of stay away from meth.
(30:17):
You do it once, you can probably get away with it.
You do it for seventy years, what's your mind look like?
What's your body look like? That's what it's like when
you're a democrat for seventy years. You don't get wiser,
You get dumber, you get more insane. Jesse. Considering the
US has stealth bombers and heavy bunker busting bombs, why
isn't the Iran attack a joint venture between Israel and
(30:41):
the US. What do you think? Why do you think
they're going it alone, all right. Trump talked a little
bit about some ran stuff that I.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Hear you without reel is achievable within days, within weeks.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Is there that kind of runway?
Speaker 8 (30:57):
Yeah, it's and hieva rum with both parties after.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Agree, Sure, Trump is still out there trying to make
a deal. He put out a social media post a law.
I'm not going to read it for you here, but
remember how many times we talked about Trump is good
at foreign policy because he looks at everything like a
business deal. For Trump, it's crazy for people to fight
for countries to fight. Trump sees just opportunity there. Hey,
that's his social media post. It echoed everything we talk
(31:22):
about when it comes to its foreign policy. Why don't
we make a deal. We can do a trade deal.
We'll do a great deal. Why don't we just do
a deal?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Is there?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Ony Ron should come together do a deal? Here he
was again, what have you heard?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
What if you heard from the audience?
Speaker 9 (31:34):
They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.
I had sixty days and they had sixty days, and
on the sixty first day I said, we don't have
a deal. They have to make a deal.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
And it's painful for both parties. But I'd say Iran
is not winning this war and they should talk, and
they should talk immediately before it's too late.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Okay, So you say, why aren't we backing them? First,
We are backing them. I understand that that's not public.
We have come out and we have publicly said we
are hands off here. Iran better keep their hands off
our troops. If they don't keep their hands off our troops,
(32:20):
there's going to be problems. But this is between Israel
and Iran. We have absolutely nothing to do with this whatsoever.
That's a total lie. All right. That's to be clear
about this, And I'm not I'm not even criticizing them.
That's how foreign policy works, That's how media works. I
get that. If you think Benjamin net and Yahoo launched
(32:40):
all these airstrikes on Iran without Donald Trump's full throat
at approval, well, I have a bridge in San Francisco
I would love to sell you. Reach out to the show.
I'll give you a great price on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Don't be naive. So they did have our support, meaning
our verbal support. They almost undoubtedly have our intelligence support.
(33:07):
Israeli intelligence Masad is of course top notch We've talked
about it before. Do you think they nailed all those
targets exactly without American satellites providing some intelligence, without us
providing on the ground intelligence. Of course they have our support.
Now you ask about stealth bombers. Why aren't we throwing
(33:27):
into bunker buster stuff and stealth bombers, Well, look at
this from Donald Trump's perspective. Think about this. You don't
like Iran, but you're willing to do a deal with Iran.
They have a bunch of oil. China gets about twenty
percent of their oil from Iran, so that they have resources.
You don't like them, but you're willing to do a
(33:50):
deal with them. Israel is obviously going to be much
more motivated than we are to take out Iran because
Iran is an imminent thing threat to Israel. They're not
to us. They can commit acts of terror and things
like that. And LOOKT and Yahoo can sell this all
day long, but no, it doesn't watch.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
Look I understand America first, I don't understand America dead.
That's what these people want. They chant death to America.
So we're doing something that is in the service of
mankind of humanity, and it's a battle of good against evil.
America does should and does stand with a good That's
what President Trump is doing, and I deeply appreciate his support.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, no, Iran presents a threat to Israel, not as
much to us. So if you're Donald Trump, if Israel
they have the equipment to handle this themselves, and you
don't have to get your hands dirty, you don't have
to anger your America first allies who don't want to
get involved. If Israel's already beating the crap out of them,
(34:56):
why do you want us involved? And I'll tell you
something else, Oh, something people maybe aren't thinking of because
everyone gets too emotional with these things. I understand it's emotional.
It's an emotional topic, but are you sure you want
to own it? You ever heard the phrase you break it,
you buy it. The goal is regime change, for that's
(35:20):
Israel's goal, and I understand why it's their goal, not
faulting them for that. How's regime change work out? Remember,
wanting the current dirt ball is gone has never guaranteed
you're going to get something better to replace them. That's
(35:40):
generally not how it works at all. It rarely works
out that way. What if we get overtly involved. What
if the next Iranian government's worse than this one, if
Israel's handling it and we can at least publicly have
our hands washed of it, not a bad move, to
be honest with you. All right, Lets move off of this.
(36:02):
I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's talk
about Chuck Schumer China involved in our local politics. In fact,
before we do that, let's nominate a veteran to get
a free American flag. Have you done that yet? Pure
talk is giving a portion of every sale to Allegiance Flags.
(36:23):
They're doing a thousand flag giveaway Allegiance Flags. Member. They're
American flags, made in America before Independence Day. Pure talk
is trying to put a thousand of these flags in
the hands of a veteran. If you know a veteran
and you want them that honor, you want to give
them that honor. Puretalk dot com slash nominate, Go nominate somebody,
(36:48):
Honor somebody. It means a lot to people, it really does.
That kind of thing means a lot to people. And
while you're there, maybe consider switching to the cell phone
company that does things like this. When's the last time
at and T gave out American flags to veterans. Dial
pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly, you keep
(37:08):
your phone, You keep your number. Switch to Pure Talk
and go nominate a vet pound two five zero, say
Jesse Kelly. We'll be back.
