Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a wonderful, wonderful Monday. Remember, we have a bunch of
stuff we have to get to still in the show.
We have to make fun of Chuck Schumer. We're going
to talk a little bit more about this mortgage fraud stuff.
(00:32):
People are running and eating taco bell. That's going to
be my specialty. We're going to get to emails. We
have so much to get to in the show. But
you know what time it is. It's the start of
the second hour on a Monday, which means it's time
for Medal of Honor Monday. It is time to honor
a hero, remember his name, and remember his deeds. These
(00:55):
people need to be held up in front of our
children and our entire culture as something wonderful. All right Now,
we also take emails, not just your love hating death threats,
not just your ask doctor Jesse questions. If you have
a medal of honor person that you know, or you
knew a relative, or from your hometown, or you just love,
(01:17):
you can email suggestions. There are a ton of them.
There's a big backlog so don't think you're gonna email
tonight and we'll be doing it next Monday. That's simply
not going to happen. But email them. We'll try to
get to them, all right. We got this one. Congressional
Medal of Honor. Eugene Sasser lives in Houston. I used
to work with his son. Look him up, maybe mention
(01:39):
it some Monday. I believe he passed away though, Didney Chris? Okay,
so he did pass away, and this is Vietnam. He
was actually born in Chongo, Texas, Chanango, Texas, United States Army.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk
of his life, above and beyond the call of duty.
Specialist five Sassar distinguished himself Specialist fifth class. I'm sorry,
I'm just gonna call him Specialist five to shorten it up.
Specialist five sass distinguished himself while assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters,
(02:26):
Company third Battalion. He was serving as a medical aid
man with Company A, third Battalion on a reconnaissance enforce operation.
I'll explain that more in a moment. His company was
making an air assault when suddenly it was taken under
heavy small arms recoilists, rifle, machine gun and rocket fire
(02:48):
from well fortified enemy positions on three sides of the
landing zone. I'll explain that again in a moment too.
During the first few minutes, over thirty casualties were sustained
without hesitation. Specialist five Sassar ran across an open rice
paddy through a hail of fire to assist the wounded.
(03:08):
After helping one man to safety, he was painfully wounded
in the left shoulder by fragments of an exploding rocket.
Refusing medical attention, he ran through a barrage of rocket
and automatic weapons fire to aid casualties of the initial attack.
After giving them urgently needed medical treatment, continued to search
(03:28):
for other wounded. Despite two additional wounds immobilizing his legs,
he dragged himself through the mud toward another soldier one
hundred meters away. Although in agonizing pain and faint from
blood loss, Specialist five Sassar reached the man, treated him,
and proceeded on to encourage another group of soldiers to
(03:51):
crawl two hundred meters to relative safety. There he attended
their wounds for five hours until they were evacuated. Specialist
five Sassar's extraordinary heroism is in keeping with the highest
traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself
his unit in the United States Army. All right, first,
(04:13):
I wanted to talk just a couple things about this
and give some clarity before we get back to news
and other things. What is a reconnaissance in force? Well,
you don't know where they are in military matters, in battles,
in wars. This is not just Vietnam. Throughout history, we
(04:36):
don't think about it this way, but sometimes you couldn't
find them. You don't know where they are, you don't
know how many of them they are. We like that,
We imagine that it's all satellite images, right, that you
have an exact GPS location on twenty five guys there.
It doesn't work like that at all, even today with
(04:57):
satellites and things like that. That doesn't work in heavily
wooded areas, mountain terrain. You just can't you can't see,
you're looking straight down, you don't have other options. You
don't know where they are. Okay, so that's fine, you
gotta go find them. How many do you send them.
Let's rewind all the way back to Roman days. Let's
(05:18):
go back there before we go back to Vietnam. If
you're looking for what you think might be, remember you're
getting little fragments of intelligence. You think there might be
a twenty thirty thousand man army of Germans or Celts
out there, which actually would not have been a large
army for them, But you think there might be twenty
or thirty thousand of them out there somewhere. How many
(05:41):
men do you send to go find them? You send two? Okay,
if you send two, then ten guys catch them and
your two guys die. All right? Do you send a hundred?
Well that's a lot. Then you see it's always in
our argument. Now, a reconnaissance enforce operation means this. You
(06:08):
are sending a oftentimes light there won't be a huge
baggage train behind them. You'll send a light light as
you can make it army of significant size, so that
if they run into problems, they don't have to run
away and they won't be wiped out. They can fight,
(06:29):
but they're not going to do a super long sustained
operation because they don't have enough stuff. That's reconnaissance in force,
all right. In Vietnam, it oftentimes took on this form.
And I'll get to the helicopter landing zone in a moment.
You take a bunch of your guys because of the
(06:49):
jungle and pause. Remember the Vietnamese were geniuses at hiding things.
Most people know about the tunnels. They had this really
really intricate miles and miles of tunnels, underground tunnels that
was more than just a tunnel getting from A to B.
Underwater hospitals. You would sleep under there, eat under there.
(07:13):
They just they were like moles. They would go under
the ground, and so you couldn't see them. Even with
planes with helos walking on them, half the time, you
couldn't see them. It's not like the tunnel had a
sign on it, right. So they were not only great
at tunnels, they were amazing at using the jungle to
(07:34):
cover up what was there so planes and helicopters couldn't
see it from above. One story I read, and I
forget what the book was. One story I read a
guy was standing He was standing on the road, but
it didn't look like a road, and it took him
(07:56):
a while standing on the road to figure out it
wasn't a road, So he and his boys step off
to figure out what's going on. Here's what they find.
The trees are tied together in such a way. They
string the trees together so the trees completely cover up
(08:18):
the road during the day. Then they have guys with
buckets and buckets of leaves to spread it over the road.
During the day, the sun goes down, they untie the trees,
they sweep off the road. There's now a road where
an hour earlier there was no road. And then at
(08:40):
night they do all their things, driving people back and forth.
As soon as the sun's getting start getting ready to
start coming up, tie all the trees back together, dump
the buckets of leaves. The road disappears. I know it
was ingenius. They were really quite good at it. You
had to send people out. Now, how in the world
could a hell could a bunch of helicopters land and
(09:02):
have three of the four sides of a landing zone
immediately open up with this kind of firepower. Let me
go ahead and spoil it for you. Either, you're the
most unlucky unit in the world, and you landed right
in the middle of a Vietnamese company's headquarters. Which did
happen or they knew you were coming. There were so
(09:26):
many leaks with communist sympathizers from South Vietnam where they
would simply leak every detail of our operations to the enemy.
The enemy knew the landing zones, the enemy knew how
many guns to bring the enemy and look flying in
a helicopter. I don't know how much you've done. It
(09:46):
can be nerve wracking anyway. In peacetime, it's just a
it's an awkward thing. I've never liked them. I've told
you that before. I've never liked them. I've done it
more than once. I've never liked them. In peacetime it
can be awkward in a little nerve wracking if you
let your mind start playing tricks on you. You know what
it's like to have people shooting rockets in AK forty
(10:07):
seven's at you when you're landing or taking off. I
don't I don't want to know. Very brave man, right there,
Clarence Eugene Sasser, how about that? All right? I want
to get back to something jd. Vance actually said, and
then we're going to move on. We have to talk
about we have to talk about the state the administrative state.
(10:27):
I'm going to touch on something jd Vance said. Before
we do that, I want to talk to you about
the state of the corporate world, which is bad. What
they haven't farmed out to foreigners, they've given to American communists.
That's why when you pay your Verizon bill, you fund
street communism. Did you ever think you'd get to a
(10:49):
place as a country where your cell phone company funds
communist street groups? Not freaking horrible. You remember when these
people were tearing down Christopher columb statues. They were doing
it with corporate sponsorship. Did your cell phone company participate?
I would highly recommend you look switch to Pure Talk,
(11:10):
pick up your cell phone, take ten minutes. You can
do it during the break. Switch to the company that
hires Americans. You'll actually get to speak to an American
on the phone. Dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money. And you're
patronizing a company that loves this country pound two five zero,
(11:33):
say Jesse Kelly, will be bad.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Monday. Member.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart Spotify iTunes. And before
I get back to this shutdown of what jd Vance said,
I wanted to clarify I've told you before that the
history stuff I've been doing on the show that Jewish
(11:59):
producer Chris and producer Cory have been busting their butts
to get it on YouTube, so you can go enjoy
the YouTube version of it, all right, And they're really
putting their heart and soul into this. I'm not involved
in this at all. They're starting to add pictures and
stuff like that. It's going to get better and better
as time goes on. And this is all free. Remember
(12:20):
we're not charging for any of this. If you go
to the Jesse Kelly Show YouTube page at Jesse Kelly Show,
Chris tells me they have separated out the history stuff.
So if you want to dump the politics and they'll
be able to find it easily, Chris, Chris said, you
should be shouldn't be obvious, you'll be able to find it.
You want to nerd out on history. I know the
(12:42):
holidays are coming up. You know I won't be here
a bunch This way goes in the holidays. You want
to go just geek out on old things at Jesse
Kelly Show. Yes, that's right, Chris. Even the dirty America
hating communists who enjoy history can go enjoy it the
Jesse Kelly Show YouTube page. All right, they go. Now,
I understand that jd Vance has the message. It like.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
The longer it goes on, Maria, the more significant they're
going to be. If you remember, we went nine days
before announcing any significant layoffs. Again, the President of the
United States wanted to reopen the government. He was trying
to work with Democrats in order to make that happen.
But the longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts
are going to be. And Maria, to be clear, some
of these cuts are going to be painful. This is
not a situation that we relish. This is not something
(13:27):
that we're looking forward to. But the Democrats have dealt
us up.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, it's a lie. I know he has to tell
the lie. I'm not complaining, but they're not painful. This
is glorious. I'll explain more in a moment. He has
to keep making the rounds and saying this, Hey, we
don't want to do it. Why are these firings necessary?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, I just think it shows the different priorities of
Democrats and Republicans in the midst of these shutdowns, you
really have to ask yourself, who do we care more
about federal bureaucrats in Washington, DC or low income women
and getting the food benefits they deserve. Our troops getting
the payment they need flood insurance across the southeast in
the midst of hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Have to lay off some federal workers.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Kristen, if you would let me finish, we have to
lay off some federal workers in the midst of this
shutdown to preserve the essential benefits for the American people
that the government does provide. So we don't want to
be in this situation. We don't want to be laying
off federal workers. But the Democrats have shut down the government.
They have forced us to choose.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Okay, that's the messaging, and it's smart messaging. I'm not
complaining at all. Smart messaging, but no, we need this
and I'm gonna play you something. It's gonna sound unrelated,
it's not. This is John Solomon. He does just the news.
He does a bunch of really good reporting. In fact,
we should get John on. I like John a lot.
John's He's oftentimes has the scoop before there's a scoop.
(14:53):
Do you remember the letter that was signed by fifty
one intelligence officials saying that Donald you know, colluded with Russia?
So no, no, this was the one that said Hunter
Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation? Do you remember that? Listen
to this.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
This is a very important email. It comes from the
former CIA director Mike Merrell. Yes, the guy that organized
that letter from the fifty one intelligence professionals who tried
to thank you into thinking that the Hunter Biden laptop
was Russian disinformation when it wasn't. It is between him
and John Brennan. One of the signatories. You know John
Brennan is he was Obama CIA director, Right, He's a
(15:30):
guy that told Obama, hey, Hillary Clinton is doing a
dirty trick on Donald Trump, called Russia collusion. Well, this
is just before the presidential debate between Donald Trump and
Joe Biden. Hunter Biden's laptop is flinging out there. This
is what Mike Morrell, FORMACI director tells his successor, John Brennan, Hey,
(15:50):
sign this letter because I'm quote trying to give the campaign,
particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to
push back on Trump on this issue. A man with
a security clearance, a man with the title of CIA director,
knew that he wasn't creating an intelligence product americ civic
duty with fifty one people. He was trying to create
(16:11):
a political moment.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I want you to take this in and how significant
this is. And I realized this is stuff we knew.
But the Central Intelligence Agency is the largest, most well funded,
most powerful spy agency on the planet. Multiple directors of
(16:36):
the CIA. We're not talking some dirty commie in the
mail room. Directors of the Central Intelligence Agency have chosen
to declare war on the American right up to and
including lying to the American people so Joe Biden could
(16:59):
win an election. Now back to the cuts, the deep
state cuts, they have to be a lot deeper than
four thousand people. It doesn't matter who the next president is,
or the one after that or the one after that.
If we have a million communists throughout the government working
(17:24):
to undermine every Republican administration, trying to kneecap it to
buy time until the Democrats come back and the revolution
can continue apace, we can't survive like that. The rot
is deep. It's at the highest levels of our government.
(17:47):
The clean out must be deeper. You have to get
all the cancer. You can't leave even a little behind
when in doubt, cut too deep. I know we have
to take the public line of don't want to do it,
but I hope that's not the actual attitude. Cut deep.
All right, all right, do some emails next.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email u's Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Let's get to a lot of these now, tiny hands, Jesse.
I've never been more upset about anything you've said or
done on your show than your rigged election for Haiti.
Somalia is a war torn hell hole. Are you some
(18:34):
hackey set kicking man, bun latte drinking hippie that believes
Haiti is cursed so you can just change the election result.
So many people are mad that I changed. Look, I
told you before the voting started that I ultimately retain
veto power, so you could beg plead name of a
(18:57):
just merciful gun. I'm not changing anything. Hey's worst country
on Earth, Jesse. Being as how, you pretty much one
hundred percent and nailed it in terms of what needs
to be done by the Department of Justice Pam Bondi
with help from Cash Betel and Dan Bongino, someone needs
to go to jail. With the influence and connections you have.
Is there any way you can get a meeting with
(19:18):
the Justice Justice Department head of the FBI and let
people know that people want and demand that someone goes
to prison. I listen almost every night. I learned so
much from you, so on and so forth. Okay, all right,
so let me let me say this. I have used
this analogy multiple times. In fact, I'm pretty sure I
(19:40):
used it on Thursday, but I'm going to use it again,
and I am worried that it very much applies to
our government. Just hang with me. If you have lived
your life, let's say you're forty years old and you've
never exercised, and you eat terribly, and you weigh three
hundred and fifty pounds. All right, so everything else aside
(20:04):
all the other health problems, you are not just out
of shape. You're somebody who you don't even really understand
what it means to be in shape. You don't even
have like the base muscles, under all that fat. And
if this is you, by the way, you can change it.
I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just explaining. Now.
(20:24):
Let's say you visit Montana, you go up to Glacier
National Park. You want to pick huckleberries. You'll probably put
them on ice cream, but either way, you want to
pick huckleberries. They're amazing. And while you're out there, a
very large, very angry, grizzly bear starts charging at you
from across the field. Now, the situation is this. You
(20:50):
have to get away. You have to Your car is
half a mile away. You have to sprint half a mile.
It's not an option. You're going to die if you don't.
But you can't. Yeah, you have to, but you can't.
(21:14):
I just brought up the administrative state. For decades, the
communists have set out to do something, and they've been
extremely successful. They've sought out to do two things. Fill
the government up with committed communists who will always work
for the revolution, while at the same time protect government
(21:39):
workers from being fired. You realize how absurd it is
that we need special circumstances like a government shut down
to let go of four thousand government employees. These people
work for the taxpayer. At any time. The president should
be able to walk into any organization and say you're fired,
you're fired, you're fired, you're all fired. They should be
(22:00):
the easiest people to fire in the country. They're the
hardest people to fire anyway. Communists have worked for decades
to do that. Now, let's specifically talk about the DOJ
in the FBI, because you and me, we understand. They
have to run that half mile. We have to have
(22:21):
John Brennan in prison, James Comy in prison. This has
to happen to save our country. Corrupt government officials have
to go to prison. We have to have it the FBI.
ANTIFA is an international, not national, international terrorist ring, communists
(22:43):
terrorist ring committing acts of violence across the globe. They're also,
like many terrorist organizations, extremely decentralized, which makes it more
and more confusing. There's not one head of ANTIFA. It's difficult.
We have to have an f FBI that can and
will track it and filtrate it and destroy it. We
(23:06):
have to have that. We got to run that half mile.
Grizzly Bear's coming. But are we too fat? Let's just
let's let's let's address the FBI first, before we get
to the DJ The FBI for years and this got
(23:27):
turned into overdriving near Obama. We've talked about it many
times before. Obama was not passive. Obama dug in and
he started retiring everybody he could who might be against him,
while at the same time promoting into leadership all the
committed communists who hated America like he did. Now that
(23:48):
was back during Barack Obama. Those communists have in turn
been purging others and promoting other Communists and hiring new
communists and new communists. The entire b your organization is
garbage crap. Now let's go to the DOJ. Let's say
Pam Bondy is the sword of God we've been looking
(24:09):
for at the DOJ, which obviously she's not. My thoughts
are well known. But let's say Pam Bondy was amazing.
She's one woman. She has to track down and prosecute
the financiers of all this. She has to track down
James Comy, John Brennan, go up against two thousand dollars
an hour attorneys. She needs horses, she needs a legal team. Well,
(24:35):
where you're getting those people? The communists have filled up
the law schools in this country. For ages, they're the
most left wing group in any university. It's the law
schools that's one two. On top of all the scumbag
lawyers who are totally America hating dirt balls who graduate
law school every single year. Pam Bondy has to go
(24:57):
up against this fact. The left, these legal associations in
the country set out and succeeded in many ways to
destroy any lawyer who represented Donald Trump. Any lawyer involved
in the Trump area got destroyed, disbarred, you name it. Now,
even let's just say Jewish producer Chris was a lawyer,
(25:20):
which is not a huge stretch to imagine. Let's say
Jewish producer Chris is a lawyer. He's obviously a hardcore
right winger. Let's say he's a great one. He's one
of these two thousand dollars an hour attorneys. All right, hey, Chris,
I need you to come work for the DOJ because
I have to throw deep state communists in prison. Well,
(25:40):
Chris has worked for twenty five years building up Chris
and Chris Jewish lawyers. It's the law practice. What Chris,
it's your name of your law firm out of New York.
They're happily right wing, huge law firm, lucrative. He has
to understand. If he comes to work for Pam Bondi
(26:01):
throws James Comy in prison, he quite possibly loses everything
he's worked his whole life for. We have to run
a half mile, and we have to do it really,
really quickly, because that grizzly bear is coming. We have
to do it. We might be too fat. I'm not
(26:25):
trying to be doomer. I'm not. But to answer your question, hey,
can you can you who's asking me? Can you use
your influence to let them know to talk to them
about this? Think I haven't think my cell phone is
just for playing angry Birds? Think I haven't, No, Chris,
(26:47):
I don't play it anymore. I used to be quite good.
But you think my cell phone is just playing angry Birds?
You think you think that that is not known by
the way, you think Dan Bongino doesn't know what needs
to be done. What if we're too fat? You can't
decide you have to run a half mile after a
(27:10):
lifetime of doing nothing, We're in a bad spot. It's
gonna take time. You don't turn a ship this size
around on a dime. It's a very large ship. It's
full of communists. We've got to turn it very very slowly.
All right, Just get your chalk and get ready. This
is a marathon, not a sprint. A marathon. You need
(27:32):
to get your tea levels up and get ready for it.
A male vitality stack from chok will help you. A
male vitality stack from chalk is natural herbal supplements. I know.
I'm well aware that there's a low tea clinic on
every corner in your town. They're everywhere where. They're happy
to stab an needle in your arm. Don't do that, man,
(27:56):
Come on, handle it naturally. We have low test shown
in this country because we drink birth control. It's practically
what we do. The estrogens are everywhere. How do we
fix it? Combat it naturally? You are ninety days away
from being in a great mood all the time. Doesn't
that sound good? Full of energy, You're ready to go
(28:16):
for a walk when you get home. You're about to
be c hoq. Go to Chuck dot com slash Jesse
and get a subscription. Your life is gonna change. Chuck
dot com slash Jesse. We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. So let me tell you something speaking of
running or not running or being out of shape, let
it run really anymore? I go on rucks. I go
(29:01):
on hikes. That's what I try to do for cardio.
I don't run because my freaking knee will start. Shut up, Chris,
you're gonna be forty four one day too. My my
knee doesn't like it. I'll put it to you that way.
It doesn't like it. So I've given up running. No need,
no need? What Chris? What Chris said? So I loaded
(29:26):
up on a ruck. You sound like my wife. Okay,
Bob said the exact same thing. If you can't run,
then why are you doing that. It's totally different, all right,
it's kind of different. It's a little bit different either way.
I don't run anymore, but I think I'm gonna start running.
Denver hosts a thirty one mile run where racers have
(29:50):
to constantly consume taco bell. I think I could do
it because the problem is, it's a problem of motivation.
You see it's probably motivation if I don't, If I
don't feel the desire to run to get in shape,
and I don't, I mean, you can rock and hike
and be in great shape, it's fine. Then why would
I go. I would go if there was free taco
(30:14):
bell the whole time. And maybe you're thinking, but then
you wouldn't be able to run. No, it's called fuel.
I used to before we go on these long humps
in the Marine Corps, I used to get I used
to go out the night before and I would get
two foot long subway cheese steaks, you know, the authentic ones.
(30:36):
Two of them. The first one I would consume right
there on the spot, the night before a hump. The
second one I would wake up hammer it right before
we took off. You can mock me all you want.
That is filling up your body with the energy it needs,
the good healthy nutrition you need to get all the way.
(30:59):
It is a amazing, well, at least it used to
be amazing, and I highly recommend it. I say used
to be. Chris said, how did you not puke? Who said?
I didn't puke? That's one. Two. You know people who've
never done humps or the forced marches is what people
(31:19):
normally call them. We called them humps in the Marine Corps.
People who've never done humps don't understand how completely draining
they are to the body, because it just looks like
guys are walking with packs on. When you get off,
you want to hear something gross. Then we're gonna do
some emails. You want to hear something disgusting when you
get done with a hump, like you'd get back to base.
Let's say you did ten miles. You drop your pack,
(31:41):
you drop your gear. You'll be soaked, obviously in sweat,
soaked all the way through. Your camis soaked through all
of it, very quickly. It will dry in your green
camis or even desert camies, whatever kind you're wearing, they
will be practically white. Why are they white? Because your
(32:02):
body has sweated all the salt out of it, and
now when your cami's dry, they are so crusted with
salt you can stand them up against the wall when
you're done. They're brutal, man, They're absolutely brutal. But it's
a great way to read out the men and the boys.
Dear Jesse the cannon ball Kelly. I think the majority
(32:24):
of our country's problems started with the hippies. Sounds like
my dad. The drugs, the rebellious attitude, and the communist
sympathy and beliefs. When you think of the Americans in
thirties and forties, they were people dressed nice, and they
spoke more elegantly, and they were patriotic. There's a the
guy wasn't alive during the sixties and the drug era
(32:44):
and things like that. I think a lot of there
are a lot of people who feel the exact same way.
And you're probably not necessarily wrong about that, about that
playing a part in it, I don't I'm not arguing.
I don't disagree, But in my opinion, I think a
(33:05):
lot of where we are today is because of Vietnam.
And I don't mean the war itself, which you can
have your own opinions about. I talk about it all
the time. I'm talking about the government lying to us,
knowingly lying in order to manipulate the American people into
(33:26):
justifying them doing something. I'm not dumb. I know governments
always lie. I know the American government has lied a
bunch of times throughout history. But I would argue just
my argument. I know you'll email me smart things. If
you disagree, I would argue that that is the first
time in American history where the White House itself chose
(33:52):
to tell gigantic, outright lies to the American people to
justify a large scale military action where tens of thousands
of Americans died. They lied and they knew they lied.
And that that, in conjunction with all the hit the
(34:13):
sixty druggy weird crap, that, in conjunction with those two
things together shattered the bond the American people had with
their government and it has never recovered. And I have
asked older people who were alive back then, I've asked
them about my theory on this. I'm not the only
one who has this theory. Other people have said it,
(34:33):
other people have thought it, and almost to a man
and to a woman said, oh, yeah, that's true. The
bond was shattered. What Chris Chris said, why did the
White House think it was so important to go and
fight in Vietnam? You know, I'm not trying to dance
around your answer, but that's actually not important in my opinion.
(34:54):
The important part of I'm trying to say is it's
not the actual fighting of Vietnam. The White House wanted
something they knew the American people didn't want, and they
chose to just tell gigantic, outright lies to the American people.
And that is something we have never recovered from, never
(35:18):
recovered from. You said, why lie, but Whyley? Because we
didn't want to go. The American people didn't want to.
The American people have a non Our founding was non interventionist.
You stay out of it. Now, you if you want
to go send one hundred thousand troops to the jungles
of Vietnam. We all know Vietnam today. Nobody knew Vietnam
back then. No one cared about it. No one knew
(35:40):
about it. There was nothing the Johnson administration and Kennedy,
let's be honest, he was one who started it. There
was nothing they could have told the American people to
make them care about Vietnam. But they cared about Vietnam,
so they lied. It's is bad, all right, enough for this.
Let's talk a little bit about democrats getting arrested. That's awesome.
(36:01):
Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a wonderful, wonderful Monday. Remember, we have a bunch of
stuff we have to get to still in the show.
We have to make fun of Chuck Schumer. We're going
to talk a little bit more about this mortgage fraud stuff.
(00:32):
People are running and eating taco bell. That's going to
be my specialty. We're going to get to emails. We
have so much to get to in the show. But
you know what time it is. It's the start of
the second hour on a Monday, which means it's time
for Medal of Honor Monday. It is time to honor
a hero, remember his name, and remember his deeds. These
(00:55):
people need to be held up in front of our
children and our entire culture as something wonderful. All right Now,
we also take emails, not just your love hating death threats,
not just your ask doctor Jesse questions. If you have
a medal of honor person that you know, or you
knew a relative, or from your hometown, or you just love,
(01:17):
you can email suggestions. There are a ton of them.
There's a big backlog so don't think you're gonna email
tonight and we'll be doing it next Monday. That's simply
not going to happen. But email them. We'll try to
get to them, all right. We got this one. Congressional
Medal of Honor. Eugene Sasser lives in Houston. I used
to work with his son. Look him up, maybe mention
(01:39):
it some Monday. I believe he passed away though, Didney Chris? Okay,
so he did pass away, and this is Vietnam. He
was actually born in Chongo, Texas, Chanango, Texas, United States Army.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk
of his life, above and beyond the call of duty.
Specialist five Sassar distinguished himself Specialist fifth class. I'm sorry,
I'm just gonna call him Specialist five to shorten it up.
Specialist five sass distinguished himself while assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters,
(02:26):
Company third Battalion. He was serving as a medical aid
man with Company A, third Battalion on a reconnaissance enforce operation.
I'll explain that more in a moment. His company was
making an air assault when suddenly it was taken under
heavy small arms recoilists, rifle, machine gun and rocket fire
(02:48):
from well fortified enemy positions on three sides of the
landing zone. I'll explain that again in a moment too.
During the first few minutes, over thirty casualties were sustained
without hesitation. Specialist five Sassar ran across an open rice
paddy through a hail of fire to assist the wounded.
(03:08):
After helping one man to safety, he was painfully wounded
in the left shoulder by fragments of an exploding rocket.
Refusing medical attention, he ran through a barrage of rocket
and automatic weapons fire to aid casualties of the initial attack.
After giving them urgently needed medical treatment, continued to search
(03:28):
for other wounded. Despite two additional wounds immobilizing his legs,
he dragged himself through the mud toward another soldier one
hundred meters away. Although in agonizing pain and faint from
blood loss, Specialist five Sassar reached the man, treated him,
and proceeded on to encourage another group of soldiers to
(03:51):
crawl two hundred meters to relative safety. There he attended
their wounds for five hours until they were evacuated. Specialist
five Sassar's extraordinary heroism is in keeping with the highest
traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself
his unit in the United States Army. All right, first,
(04:13):
I wanted to talk just a couple things about this
and give some clarity before we get back to news
and other things. What is a reconnaissance in force? Well,
you don't know where they are in military matters, in battles,
in wars. This is not just Vietnam. Throughout history, we
(04:36):
don't think about it this way, but sometimes you couldn't
find them. You don't know where they are, you don't
know how many of them they are. We like that,
We imagine that it's all satellite images, right, that you
have an exact GPS location on twenty five guys there.
It doesn't work like that at all, even today with
(04:57):
satellites and things like that. That doesn't work in heavily
wooded areas, mountain terrain. You just can't you can't see,
you're looking straight down, you don't have other options. You
don't know where they are. Okay, so that's fine, you
gotta go find them. How many do you send them.
Let's rewind all the way back to Roman days. Let's
(05:18):
go back there before we go back to Vietnam. If
you're looking for what you think might be, remember you're
getting little fragments of intelligence. You think there might be
a twenty thirty thousand man army of Germans or Celts
out there, which actually would not have been a large
army for them, But you think there might be twenty
or thirty thousand of them out there somewhere. How many
(05:41):
men do you send to go find them? You send two? Okay,
if you send two, then ten guys catch them and
your two guys die. All right? Do you send a hundred?
Well that's a lot. Then you see it's always in
our argument. Now, a reconnaissance enforce operation means this. You
(06:08):
are sending a oftentimes light there won't be a huge
baggage train behind them. You'll send a light light as
you can make it army of significant size, so that
if they run into problems, they don't have to run
away and they won't be wiped out. They can fight,
(06:29):
but they're not going to do a super long sustained
operation because they don't have enough stuff. That's reconnaissance in force,
all right. In Vietnam, it oftentimes took on this form.
And I'll get to the helicopter landing zone in a moment.
You take a bunch of your guys because of the
(06:49):
jungle and pause. Remember the Vietnamese were geniuses at hiding things.
Most people know about the tunnels. They had this really
really intricate miles and miles of tunnels, underground tunnels that
was more than just a tunnel getting from A to B.
Underwater hospitals. You would sleep under there, eat under there.
(07:13):
They just they were like moles. They would go under
the ground, and so you couldn't see them. Even with
planes with helos walking on them, half the time, you
couldn't see them. It's not like the tunnel had a
sign on it, right. So they were not only great
at tunnels, they were amazing at using the jungle to
(07:34):
cover up what was there so planes and helicopters couldn't
see it from above. One story I read, and I
forget what the book was. One story I read a
guy was standing He was standing on the road, but
it didn't look like a road, and it took him
(07:56):
a while standing on the road to figure out it
wasn't a road, So he and his boys step off
to figure out what's going on. Here's what they find.
The trees are tied together in such a way. They
string the trees together so the trees completely cover up
(08:18):
the road during the day. Then they have guys with
buckets and buckets of leaves to spread it over the road.
During the day, the sun goes down, they untie the trees,
they sweep off the road. There's now a road where
an hour earlier there was no road. And then at
(08:40):
night they do all their things, driving people back and forth.
As soon as the sun's getting start getting ready to
start coming up, tie all the trees back together, dump
the buckets of leaves. The road disappears. I know it
was ingenius. They were really quite good at it. You
had to send people out. Now, how in the world
could a hell could a bunch of helicopters land and
(09:02):
have three of the four sides of a landing zone
immediately open up with this kind of firepower. Let me
go ahead and spoil it for you. Either, you're the
most unlucky unit in the world, and you landed right
in the middle of a Vietnamese company's headquarters. Which did
happen or they knew you were coming. There were so
(09:26):
many leaks with communist sympathizers from South Vietnam where they
would simply leak every detail of our operations to the enemy.
The enemy knew the landing zones, the enemy knew how
many guns to bring the enemy and look flying in
a helicopter. I don't know how much you've done. It
(09:46):
can be nerve wracking anyway. In peacetime, it's just a
it's an awkward thing. I've never liked them. I've told
you that before. I've never liked them. I've done it
more than once. I've never liked them. In peacetime it
can be awkward in a little nerve wracking if you
let your mind start playing tricks on you. You know what
it's like to have people shooting rockets in AK forty
(10:07):
seven's at you when you're landing or taking off. I
don't I don't want to know. Very brave man, right there,
Clarence Eugene Sasser, how about that? All right? I want
to get back to something jd. Vance actually said, and
then we're going to move on. We have to talk
about we have to talk about the state the administrative state.
(10:27):
I'm going to touch on something jd Vance said. Before
we do that, I want to talk to you about
the state of the corporate world, which is bad. What
they haven't farmed out to foreigners, they've given to American communists.
That's why when you pay your Verizon bill, you fund
street communism. Did you ever think you'd get to a
(10:49):
place as a country where your cell phone company funds
communist street groups? Not freaking horrible. You remember when these
people were tearing down Christopher columb statues. They were doing
it with corporate sponsorship. Did your cell phone company participate?
I would highly recommend you look switch to Pure Talk,
(11:10):
pick up your cell phone, take ten minutes. You can
do it during the break. Switch to the company that
hires Americans. You'll actually get to speak to an American
on the phone. Dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money. And you're
patronizing a company that loves this country pound two five zero,
(11:33):
say Jesse Kelly, will be bad.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Monday. Member.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart Spotify iTunes. And before
I get back to this shutdown of what jd Vance said,
I wanted to clarify I've told you before that the
history stuff I've been doing on the show that Jewish
(11:59):
producer Chris and producer Cory have been busting their butts
to get it on YouTube, so you can go enjoy
the YouTube version of it, all right, And they're really
putting their heart and soul into this. I'm not involved
in this at all. They're starting to add pictures and
stuff like that. It's going to get better and better
as time goes on. And this is all free. Remember
(12:20):
we're not charging for any of this. If you go
to the Jesse Kelly Show YouTube page at Jesse Kelly Show,
Chris tells me they have separated out the history stuff.
So if you want to dump the politics and they'll
be able to find it easily, Chris, Chris said, you
should be shouldn't be obvious, you'll be able to find it.
You want to nerd out on history. I know the
(12:42):
holidays are coming up. You know I won't be here
a bunch This way goes in the holidays. You want
to go just geek out on old things at Jesse
Kelly Show. Yes, that's right, Chris. Even the dirty America
hating communists who enjoy history can go enjoy it the
Jesse Kelly Show YouTube page. All right, they go. Now,
I understand that jd Vance has the message. It like.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
The longer it goes on, Maria, the more significant they're
going to be. If you remember, we went nine days
before announcing any significant layoffs. Again, the President of the
United States wanted to reopen the government. He was trying
to work with Democrats in order to make that happen.
But the longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts
are going to be. And Maria, to be clear, some
of these cuts are going to be painful. This is
not a situation that we relish. This is not something
(13:27):
that we're looking forward to. But the Democrats have dealt
us up.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, it's a lie. I know he has to tell
the lie. I'm not complaining, but they're not painful. This
is glorious. I'll explain more in a moment. He has
to keep making the rounds and saying this, Hey, we
don't want to do it. Why are these firings necessary?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, I just think it shows the different priorities of
Democrats and Republicans in the midst of these shutdowns, you
really have to ask yourself, who do we care more
about federal bureaucrats in Washington, DC or low income women
and getting the food benefits they deserve. Our troops getting
the payment they need flood insurance across the southeast in
the midst of hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Have to lay off some federal workers.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Kristen, if you would let me finish, we have to
lay off some federal workers in the midst of this
shutdown to preserve the essential benefits for the American people
that the government does provide. So we don't want to
be in this situation. We don't want to be laying
off federal workers. But the Democrats have shut down the government.
They have forced us to choose.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Okay, that's the messaging, and it's smart messaging. I'm not
complaining at all. Smart messaging, but no, we need this
and I'm gonna play you something. It's gonna sound unrelated,
it's not. This is John Solomon. He does just the news.
He does a bunch of really good reporting. In fact,
we should get John on. I like John a lot.
John's He's oftentimes has the scoop before there's a scoop.
(14:53):
Do you remember the letter that was signed by fifty
one intelligence officials saying that Donald you know, colluded with Russia?
So no, no, this was the one that said Hunter
Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation? Do you remember that? Listen
to this.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
This is a very important email. It comes from the
former CIA director Mike Merrell. Yes, the guy that organized
that letter from the fifty one intelligence professionals who tried
to thank you into thinking that the Hunter Biden laptop
was Russian disinformation when it wasn't. It is between him
and John Brennan. One of the signatories. You know John
Brennan is he was Obama CIA director, Right, He's a
(15:30):
guy that told Obama, hey, Hillary Clinton is doing a
dirty trick on Donald Trump, called Russia collusion. Well, this
is just before the presidential debate between Donald Trump and
Joe Biden. Hunter Biden's laptop is flinging out there. This
is what Mike Morrell, FORMACI director tells his successor, John Brennan, Hey,
(15:50):
sign this letter because I'm quote trying to give the campaign,
particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to
push back on Trump on this issue. A man with
a security clearance, a man with the title of CIA director,
knew that he wasn't creating an intelligence product americ civic
duty with fifty one people. He was trying to create
(16:11):
a political moment.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I want you to take this in and how significant
this is. And I realized this is stuff we knew.
But the Central Intelligence Agency is the largest, most well funded,
most powerful spy agency on the planet. Multiple directors of
(16:36):
the CIA. We're not talking some dirty commie in the
mail room. Directors of the Central Intelligence Agency have chosen
to declare war on the American right up to and
including lying to the American people so Joe Biden could
(16:59):
win an election. Now back to the cuts, the deep
state cuts, they have to be a lot deeper than
four thousand people. It doesn't matter who the next president is,
or the one after that or the one after that.
If we have a million communists throughout the government working
(17:24):
to undermine every Republican administration, trying to kneecap it to
buy time until the Democrats come back and the revolution
can continue apace, we can't survive like that. The rot
is deep. It's at the highest levels of our government.
(17:47):
The clean out must be deeper. You have to get
all the cancer. You can't leave even a little behind
when in doubt, cut too deep. I know we have
to take the public line of don't want to do it,
but I hope that's not the actual attitude. Cut deep.
All right, all right, do some emails next.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email u's Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Let's get to a lot of these now, tiny hands, Jesse.
I've never been more upset about anything you've said or
done on your show than your rigged election for Haiti.
Somalia is a war torn hell hole. Are you some
(18:34):
hackey set kicking man, bun latte drinking hippie that believes
Haiti is cursed so you can just change the election result.
So many people are mad that I changed. Look, I
told you before the voting started that I ultimately retain
veto power, so you could beg plead name of a
(18:57):
just merciful gun. I'm not changing anything. Hey's worst country
on Earth, Jesse. Being as how, you pretty much one
hundred percent and nailed it in terms of what needs
to be done by the Department of Justice Pam Bondi
with help from Cash Betel and Dan Bongino, someone needs
to go to jail. With the influence and connections you have.
Is there any way you can get a meeting with
(19:18):
the Justice Justice Department head of the FBI and let
people know that people want and demand that someone goes
to prison. I listen almost every night. I learned so
much from you, so on and so forth. Okay, all right,
so let me let me say this. I have used
this analogy multiple times. In fact, I'm pretty sure I
(19:40):
used it on Thursday, but I'm going to use it again,
and I am worried that it very much applies to
our government. Just hang with me. If you have lived
your life, let's say you're forty years old and you've
never exercised, and you eat terribly, and you weigh three
hundred and fifty pounds. All right, so everything else aside
(20:04):
all the other health problems, you are not just out
of shape. You're somebody who you don't even really understand
what it means to be in shape. You don't even
have like the base muscles, under all that fat. And
if this is you, by the way, you can change it.
I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just explaining. Now.
(20:24):
Let's say you visit Montana, you go up to Glacier
National Park. You want to pick huckleberries. You'll probably put
them on ice cream, but either way, you want to
pick huckleberries. They're amazing. And while you're out there, a
very large, very angry, grizzly bear starts charging at you
from across the field. Now, the situation is this. You
(20:50):
have to get away. You have to Your car is
half a mile away. You have to sprint half a mile.
It's not an option. You're going to die if you don't.
But you can't. Yeah, you have to, but you can't.
(21:14):
I just brought up the administrative state. For decades, the
communists have set out to do something, and they've been
extremely successful. They've sought out to do two things. Fill
the government up with committed communists who will always work
for the revolution, while at the same time protect government
(21:39):
workers from being fired. You realize how absurd it is
that we need special circumstances like a government shut down
to let go of four thousand government employees. These people
work for the taxpayer. At any time. The president should
be able to walk into any organization and say you're fired,
you're fired, you're fired, you're all fired. They should be
(22:00):
the easiest people to fire in the country. They're the
hardest people to fire anyway. Communists have worked for decades
to do that. Now, let's specifically talk about the DOJ
in the FBI, because you and me, we understand. They
have to run that half mile. We have to have
(22:21):
John Brennan in prison, James Comy in prison. This has
to happen to save our country. Corrupt government officials have
to go to prison. We have to have it the FBI.
ANTIFA is an international, not national, international terrorist ring, communists
(22:43):
terrorist ring committing acts of violence across the globe. They're also,
like many terrorist organizations, extremely decentralized, which makes it more
and more confusing. There's not one head of ANTIFA. It's difficult.
We have to have an f FBI that can and
will track it and filtrate it and destroy it. We
(23:06):
have to have that. We got to run that half mile.
Grizzly Bear's coming. But are we too fat? Let's just
let's let's let's address the FBI first, before we get
to the DJ The FBI for years and this got
(23:27):
turned into overdriving near Obama. We've talked about it many
times before. Obama was not passive. Obama dug in and
he started retiring everybody he could who might be against him,
while at the same time promoting into leadership all the
committed communists who hated America like he did. Now that
(23:48):
was back during Barack Obama. Those communists have in turn
been purging others and promoting other Communists and hiring new
communists and new communists. The entire b your organization is
garbage crap. Now let's go to the DOJ. Let's say
Pam Bondy is the sword of God we've been looking
(24:09):
for at the DOJ, which obviously she's not. My thoughts
are well known. But let's say Pam Bondy was amazing.
She's one woman. She has to track down and prosecute
the financiers of all this. She has to track down
James Comy, John Brennan, go up against two thousand dollars
an hour attorneys. She needs horses, she needs a legal team. Well,
(24:35):
where you're getting those people? The communists have filled up
the law schools in this country. For ages, they're the
most left wing group in any university. It's the law
schools that's one two. On top of all the scumbag
lawyers who are totally America hating dirt balls who graduate
law school every single year. Pam Bondy has to go
(24:57):
up against this fact. The left, these legal associations in
the country set out and succeeded in many ways to
destroy any lawyer who represented Donald Trump. Any lawyer involved
in the Trump area got destroyed, disbarred, you name it. Now,
even let's just say Jewish producer Chris was a lawyer,
(25:20):
which is not a huge stretch to imagine. Let's say
Jewish producer Chris is a lawyer. He's obviously a hardcore
right winger. Let's say he's a great one. He's one
of these two thousand dollars an hour attorneys. All right, hey, Chris,
I need you to come work for the DOJ because
I have to throw deep state communists in prison. Well,
(25:40):
Chris has worked for twenty five years building up Chris
and Chris Jewish lawyers. It's the law practice. What Chris,
it's your name of your law firm out of New York.
They're happily right wing, huge law firm, lucrative. He has
to understand. If he comes to work for Pam Bondi
(26:01):
throws James Comy in prison, he quite possibly loses everything
he's worked his whole life for. We have to run
a half mile, and we have to do it really,
really quickly, because that grizzly bear is coming. We have
to do it. We might be too fat. I'm not
(26:25):
trying to be doomer. I'm not. But to answer your question, hey,
can you can you who's asking me? Can you use
your influence to let them know to talk to them
about this? Think I haven't think my cell phone is
just for playing angry Birds? Think I haven't, No, Chris,
(26:47):
I don't play it anymore. I used to be quite good.
But you think my cell phone is just playing angry Birds?
You think you think that that is not known by
the way, you think Dan Bongino doesn't know what needs
to be done. What if we're too fat? You can't
decide you have to run a half mile after a
(27:10):
lifetime of doing nothing, We're in a bad spot. It's
gonna take time. You don't turn a ship this size
around on a dime. It's a very large ship. It's
full of communists. We've got to turn it very very slowly.
All right, Just get your chalk and get ready. This
is a marathon, not a sprint. A marathon. You need
(27:32):
to get your tea levels up and get ready for it.
A male vitality stack from chok will help you. A
male vitality stack from chalk is natural herbal supplements. I know.
I'm well aware that there's a low tea clinic on
every corner in your town. They're everywhere where. They're happy
to stab an needle in your arm. Don't do that, man,
(27:56):
Come on, handle it naturally. We have low test shown
in this country because we drink birth control. It's practically

Speaker 2 (28:34):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. So let me tell you something speaking of
running or not running or being out of shape, let
it run really anymore? I go on rucks. I go
(29:01):
on hikes. That's what I try to do for cardio.
I don't run because my freaking knee will start. Shut up, Chris,
you're gonna be forty four one day too. My my
knee doesn't like it. I'll put it to you that way.
It doesn't like it. So I've given up running. No need,
no need? What Chris? What Chris said? So I loaded
(29:26):
up on a ruck. You sound like my wife. Okay,
Bob said the exact same thing. If you can't run,
then why are you doing that. It's totally different, all right,
it's kind of different. It's a little bit different either way.
I don't run anymore, but I think I'm gonna start running.
Denver hosts a thirty one mile run where racers have
(29:50):
to constantly consume taco bell. I think I could do
it because the problem is, it's a problem of motivation.
You see it's probably motivation if I don't, If I
don't feel the desire to run to get in shape,
and I don't, I mean, you can rock and hike
and be in great shape, it's fine. Then why would
I go. I would go if there was free taco
(30:14):
bell the whole time. And maybe you're thinking, but then
you wouldn't be able to run. No, it's called fuel.
I used to before we go on these long humps
in the Marine Corps, I used to get I used
to go out the night before and I would get
two foot long subway cheese steaks, you know, the authentic ones.
(30:36):
Two of them. The first one I would consume right
there on the spot, the night before a hump. The
second one I would wake up hammer it right before
we took off. You can mock me all you want.
That is filling up your body with the energy it needs,
the good healthy nutrition you need to get all the way.
(30:59):
It is a amazing, well, at least it used to
be amazing, and I highly recommend it. I say used
to be. Chris said, how did you not puke? Who said?
I didn't puke? That's one. Two. You know people who've
never done humps or the forced marches is what people
(31:19):
normally call them. We called them humps in the Marine Corps.
People who've never done humps don't understand how completely draining
they are to the body, because it just looks like
guys are walking with packs on. When you get off,
you want to hear something gross. Then we're gonna do
some emails. You want to hear something disgusting when you
get done with a hump, like you'd get back to base.
Let's say you did ten miles. You drop your pack,
(31:41):
you drop your gear. You'll be soaked, obviously in sweat,
soaked all the way through. Your camis soaked through all
of it, very quickly. It will dry in your green
camis or even desert camies, whatever kind you're wearing, they
will be practically white. Why are they white? Because your
(32:02):
body has sweated all the salt out of it, and
now when your cami's dry, they are so crusted with
salt you can stand them up against the wall when
you're done. They're brutal, man, They're absolutely brutal. But it's
a great way to read out the men and the boys.
Dear Jesse the cannon ball Kelly. I think the majority
(32:24):
of our country's problems started with the hippies. Sounds like
my dad. The drugs, the rebellious attitude, and the communist
sympathy and beliefs. When you think of the Americans in
thirties and forties, they were people dressed nice, and they
spoke more elegantly, and they were patriotic. There's a the
guy wasn't alive during the sixties and the drug era
(32:44):
and things like that. I think a lot of there
are a lot of people who feel the exact same way.
And you're probably not necessarily wrong about that, about that
playing a part in it, I don't I'm not arguing.
I don't disagree, But in my opinion, I think a
(33:05):
lot of where we are today is because of Vietnam.
And I don't mean the war itself, which you can
have your own opinions about. I talk about it all
the time. I'm talking about the government lying to us,
knowingly lying in order to manipulate the American people into
(33:26):
justifying them doing something. I'm not dumb. I know governments
always lie. I know the American government has lied a
bunch of times throughout history. But I would argue just
my argument. I know you'll email me smart things. If
you disagree, I would argue that that is the first
time in American history where the White House itself chose
(33:52):
to tell gigantic, outright lies to the American people to
justify a large scale military action where tens of thousands
of Americans died. They lied and they knew they lied.
And that that, in conjunction with all the hit the
(34:13):
sixty druggy weird crap, that, in conjunction with those two
things together shattered the bond the American people had with
their government and it has never recovered. And I have
asked older people who were alive back then, I've asked
them about my theory on this. I'm not the only
one who has this theory. Other people have said it,
(34:33):
other people have thought it, and almost to a man
and to a woman said, oh, yeah, that's true. The
bond was shattered. What Chris Chris said, why did the
White House think it was so important to go and
fight in Vietnam? You know, I'm not trying to dance
around your answer, but that's actually not important in my opinion.
(34:54):
The important part of I'm trying to say is it's
not the actual fighting of Vietnam. The White House wanted
something they knew the American people didn't want, and they
chose to just tell gigantic, outright lies to the American people.
And that is something we have never recovered from, never
(35:18):
recovered from. You said, why lie, but Whyley? Because we
didn't want to go. The American people didn't want to.
The American people have a non Our founding was non interventionist.
You stay out of it. Now, you if you want
to go send one hundred thousand troops to the jungles
of Vietnam. We all know Vietnam today. Nobody knew Vietnam
back then. No one cared about it. No one knew
(35:40):
about it. There was nothing the Johnson administration and Kennedy,
let's be honest, he was one who started it. There
was nothing they could have told the American people to
make them care about Vietnam. But they cared about Vietnam,
so they lied. It's is bad, all right, enough for this.
Let's talk a little bit about democrats getting arrested. That's awesome.
(36:01):
Hang on,
