Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
an incredible Monday, and of course we will get to
the revolutionary stuff with the communists this hour. Amber Smith,
that former Army helicopter pilot, She's gonna join us in
(00:31):
about a half hour to talk about that new memo
that was put out about the aftermath of that terrible
crash in DC. Just such a sad story. Anyway, Amber's
going to be here to go over that. We have
a bunch of stuff still to do on the Jesse
Kelly Show, but that's not for right now, because you
know what right now is hour two on Monday. Every
(00:54):
single Monday is Medal of Honor Monday, where we take
a Medal of Honor suggestion or a mental honor citation
and we read it and you can send in suggestions.
Keep in mind, the email address isn't just for your
love hating death threats. If you have ones you like,
you're welcome to send them in Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. This guy's sending this one. It said, Jesse,
(01:16):
I just read the incredible story of tibber ted Ruben.
What a lion. I would love to hear your thoughts
on this war fighting beast. And that's from Monty. So
without further ado, let's talk about Ted Ruben. And he
was actually born in Hungary. The country, Chris, it's a
(01:36):
different country. It's over there in Europe. What Chris, I
didn't think you knew anyway, born in Hungary. This is
from US Army Korea, right, Hey, honoring those who went
above and beyond. It's medal of honor Monday. Remind me
(01:57):
to talk about Hungarian cheesebread after this. For conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and
beyond the call of duty, Corporal Rubin distinguished himself by
extraordinary heroism during the period from the twenty third of
July nineteen fifty to April twentieth, nineteen fifty three, while
(02:18):
serving as a rifleman with Company I, eighth Cavalry Regiment,
first Cavalry Division in the Republic of Korea. While his
unit was retreating to the Pusan perimeter, Corporal Ruben was
assigned to stay behind to keep open the vit old
Tagu Pusan road link used by his withdrawing unit. During
(02:39):
the ensuing battle, overwhelming numbers of North Korean troops assaulted
a hill defended solely by Corporal Reuben. He inflicted a
staggering number of casualties on the attacking force during his
twenty four hour battle, single handedly slowing the enemy advance
to allow the eighth Cavalry Regiment to successfully complete its withdrawal.
(03:02):
Following the breakout from the Pusan perimeter, the eighth Cavalry
Regiment proceeded northward and advanced into North Korea. During the advance,
he helped capture several hundred North Korean soldiers. On October thirtieth,
nineteen fifty, Chinese forces attacked his unit at Unsan, North Korea.
(03:24):
During a massive nighttime assault that night and throughout the
next day. He manned a thirty caliber machine gun at
the south end of the unit's line. After three previous
gunners became casualties, he continued tomand his machine gun until
his ammunition was exhausted. His determined stand slowed the pace
(03:46):
of the enemy advance in his sector, permitting the remnants
of his unit to retreat southward. As the battle raged,
Corporal Reuben was severely wounded and captured by the Chinese,
choosing to remain in the prison camp despite offers from
the Chinese to return him to his native Hungary. Corporal
(04:06):
Reuben disregarded his own personal safety and immediately began sneaking
out of the camp at night in search of food
for his comrades. This guy, breaking into enemy food storehouses
and gardens, he risked certain torture or death if caught.
Corporal Reuben provided not only food to the starving soldiers,
(04:28):
but also desperately needed medical care and moral support for
the sick and wounded of the pow camp. His brave,
selfless efforts were directly attributed to saving the lives of
as many as forty of his fellow prisoners. Corporal Ruben's
gallant actions in close contact with the enemy and unyielding
courage and bravery while a prison war, prisoner of war,
(04:51):
while a prison of war. Okay, they mistyped that while
a prisoner of war are in the highest traditions of
the military service and reflect get credit upon him self
and the United States Army. Don't get many of those,
do we prisoners of war. I have read many, many
books on guys who've gone through different kinds of prison
(05:16):
camp stuff, prisoners of war stuff. As you know, I
am uniquely obsessed with the Pacific War, the Pacific version
of World War Two. So books about are prisoners who
went through the horrific Japanese pow camps. Those are stories
that I just I can't get enough of. And one
(05:39):
thing that kind of it's just it's amazing when you
read these stories about these pow camps, the guys, the
guys who really stand out, and some guys stand out
for the wrong reasons. I'll put it this way. And
for instance, a Japanese prisoner of war camp, our guys
were starving, as you know, they would torture us. They would,
(06:02):
they would, they would, they would torture our guys, kill
our guys that would starve them. They would deny a
medical care. That it was. It was really really really bad,
really sadistic, really bad. And in that environment, some people
shine and some people do not. As far as the
(06:22):
people who do not go. I read a story one
time about an American pow who was killed by his
fellow Americans why he was for extra food and favors
informing on his fellow Americans to the Japanese they had
a little really quiet trial for him, pulled him out
(06:46):
in the woods, killed him for it. There were there
are plenty of stories about Americans. This happens in every country.
When you're desperate, stealing the food of others, things like that,
and vice versa. You get these stories about heroes like
this guy like Reuben, who do extra, do more. And
(07:07):
what really hit me about this middle of our citation,
the reason I wanted to do it was the guys
who do more. Hey, man, take some of my food. Hey,
let me help you out, Let me get you some
medical care. Hey, let me sneak out of the cant
to try to do this. From my reading, they don't
live very often. They just don't. They do extra, they
(07:29):
do more. They die heroes, but they're almost always either
caught and then killed in some terrible way, or they
die because they're giving up their food, they're giving up
their medicine. They're doing it on behalf of others. I
read that book Bloodlands. Blood Lands is the name of
that book. It's kind of a separate subject but along
(07:50):
the same lines, and there it goes over a lot
of the helloa more. That is when that's when Stalin
was starving the Ukrainians to death. And there's a long
path in the book about how it was all the
good ones who died first, all the priests and pastors
who were they were praying over people, giving people food,
giving the generous people. Hey, come on into my home,
(08:13):
you share our food. All the good people died first.
It was all the scumbags who seemed to live through
the whole thing. The good people died first. This one.
It struck me, man, that's no joke to be a
member of a Chinese prison camp for two or three years.
And that's one of those untold stories. A lot of
people don't know about it. In fact, I should probably,
(08:35):
I should probably do a history show on that at
some point in time. But our POWs from Korea were
held there for a long time. And this is under
Mao's China. Now, how was Mao treating his own citizens
right about this time? They weren't exactly living it up
in the you know, the life of luxury. How do
(08:55):
you think it was for American troops during this time?
And remember, we ended up with a lot of POWs
because of how the Korean War was fought. We fought
the North Koreans were taken over South Korea. Then we
showed up, we fought them back, We beat them back,
and then we decided we were going to keep pushing
into North Korea and we started pressing towards China. Mao
(09:20):
saw this as an opportunity and he started flooding hundreds
of thousands of troops across the border. Well, North Korea
is very mountainous, very cold, very remote. And one thing
about the mountains now and always, there aren't that many roads.
Because there's not many ways in and out. You can't
just it's not Nebraska where you can throw a highway
down anywhere. It doesn't work that way. Well, the Chinese
(09:43):
and the North Koreans, they would simply grab the road
you needed to go down south. If they seized control
of that road, you were done. And because you only
had so many routes in and out, your whole unit
could be cut off. We had a lot of guys
get taken prisoner during the Korean War, and they call
that thing the Forgotten War for a reason. You know,
(10:04):
I love it. I just think those guys are amazing people.
But a fascinating affair. All right, let's talk a bit
more about these revolutionaries. Tom Holman came out.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He said this, any public official, where you're mayor city councilman,
or governor, their number more responsibilities protecting the communities. And
Ice has been clear we're targeting public safety thrusts and
national's security threat.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Their number one priorities should be protecting communities. But as
we've said before, that's not how they see their number
one priority. That's why you have criminals all over your community.
Now my area too, it's getting bad. Another carjacking. What
do you carry on you to stop a bad guy?
(10:47):
What do you carry if you if your wife, your husband,
your mother, your son, your daughter. If they are walking
into the mall parking lot and a bad man is
standing there with a knife, what are they gonna do? Die? Cry?
Or are they gonna stop them? With a Berna pistol
(11:11):
launcher less lethal launcher, they can stop them and live.
Does that sound like a plan. You know, Berna's doing
a Mother's Day sale right now, big Mother's Day sale
as they introduce their brand new compact launcher. You should
see this thing. It's about the size of your smartphone,
It's thin. It's not hard to get your daughter to
(11:32):
carry this thing. Should slip right, and that's little fruity
persa hit or of hers. You're on inner shorts or
whatever it is. You're so and you sit right by
your bedside. Get one for mom. You want a nice
Mother's day d on one b y Rna Berna dot com,
slash Jesse, or you can even try one before you
(11:54):
buy it. Going to Berna dot com for a dealer
partner near you. We'll be back. Is he smarter than
everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah? The Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful,
wonderful Monday. We just got done with Metal of Honor Monday.
(12:16):
If you miss that or any part of the show,
you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes.
You can send us an email, love hey, death threats
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So JB. Pritzker, Governor
of Illinois, said something. Now, remember this is gonna be
important for our conversation. This is a man who's very
(12:38):
much flirting with running for president. There are enough rumors
out there. When there are enough rumors, you already know
he's the one putting out the rumors. Feelers if you will, Well,
I'm thinking about running. I might run anyway. What do
your friends say about that? JB. Pritzker, he has a
Well I'm gonna let him talk and then we'll talk
(13:00):
about it. Never before in.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
My life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization
for disruption. But I am now.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The governor of a United States state is calling for
mass protests for disruption. What's going on here? Okay, Well, first,
we'll get to the Pritzker part of it in a moment. First, remember,
communism was born in revolution, and it is a revolutionary religion.
(13:37):
The whole idea behind it is the power structures of
the world are evil and they must be torn down.
That's the idea. The existing power structures are evil and
must be torn down. When it was in Russia, when
it took hold in Russia, they were trying to take
down the czars. When it took hold in China, they
(13:59):
were trying to take down the powers there, the warlords.
They're the people who are running China, Cambodia. They were
trying to take down the royal family. Take They're trying
to destroy always now in forever, it's revolutionary. Well, revolutions
are not polite. They are not nice when you are
trying to tear something down. We've gone over this before.
(14:21):
There's no nonviolent way to destroy something. If there's a
statue in front of me, I can't wish it to
fall over. If I want the statue to fall over
or be destroyed, I have to do something violent to it,
kick it, sledgehammer, debt, cord something. I have to do
some sort of violence to destroy something. That's why violence
(14:44):
is not what they do. It's who they are. As
I've explained a thousand times over. That's why almost every
Democrat in this country, if they don't commit acts of violence,
they're at least kind of okay with it. Why they're revolutionaries,
they're communists. Well, we can't. We can't stop this without
hurting somebody. Someone has to get hurt. Were supposed to
(15:07):
tear down the system without hurting somebody. But back to JB. Pritzker,
what's going on here? Does JMI Pritzker really want people
protesting and rioting in the street.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
In my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization,
for disruption. But I am now.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have
to understand that we will fight their crulty with.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Every megaphone and microphone that we have.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They can't know a moment of peace I see talking
like that. Well, this brings us to the dangerous situation
we have in the country. Did you hear the reaction
of the crowd, whole crowd full of people here He
is really talking about crimes, not the crowd react.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Ever before in my life have I called for mass protests,
for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Woo yeah, why, Well, the problem is the Democrat base
is so rabidly insane now, so communist, so vicious, so violent,
so insane, that you cannot possibly rise to be the
(16:36):
leader of the Democrat Party without saying insane things to
placate your violent, demonic base that demands you say insane things.
That wasn't JB. Pritzker actually believing there should be street mobilization.
Maybe he believes that, maybe he doesn't. That was JB.
(16:57):
Pritzker trying to drive up the poll numbers in the
twenty twenty eight Democrat primary. Because you ain't gonna get
the nominee, Jack the nomination, I should say, you aren't
going to be the nominee. Unless you speak like a
violent revolutionary, it becomes the ultimate self eating ice cream cone.
(17:17):
They're violent, and their rhetoric increases, and then they're violent
and the rhetoric increases, but the violence increases because the
rhetoric increases, But then the rhetoric increases because the people
are demanding that you see how this goes. This is
how this goes. And you know what, you don't hear
with any amount of prominence at all. And he calls
(17:38):
to tone it down, an he calls for moderation, and
he calls, well, I don't know, guys, maybe we went
too far. You notice how you don't hear that from anybody.
Couple Democrats after the election kind of half spoke up
a little. They got to put back in their place
really quickly. Hey something, tradies. I don't know what's happening
(18:04):
or where they're going to go, but they're now celebrating
the revolutionaries. In fact, David Brooks called that judge heroic.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But I don't yet know the specific details of this case,
whether she escorted the guy out the jury door or
whether she's let him or it's so that's all Mark.
I don't want to comment on this specific case, but
especially on the issue of immigration. There are a lot
of people who are appalled by what the administration is doing,
and there will be times for civil disobedience. And to me,
(18:34):
if she, let's say, she did escort this guy out
the door, If federal enforcement agencies come to your courtroom
and you help a guy escape, that is two things.
One it strikes me as maybe something illegal, but it
also strikes me as something heroic.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, Amber Smith. Next, feeling a little stocky, follow leg
and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly DC. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, a fantastic Monday,
and of course it's always a fantastic day when Amber
Smith chooses to join us and dump some expertise on us.
(19:13):
I didn't even know how to really address Amber anymore.
You know, she flew these helicopters, wrote a book, very
very good book. Former senior Pentagon official Amber Smith joins me. Now, okay, Amber,
we all got snippets of the report that came out
in the New York Times. Everybody remembers that terrible helicopter crash,
and today, of course, there are many opinions getting thrown
(19:35):
around about it was it DEI? Was it idiocy? Was
it bad luck? I've never flown a helicopter? What was it?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well? I definitely from what I've read so far and
just like watching the videos myself of when it actually
happened and since then more information coming out, I do
not think that DEI is a factor here. I do
think that it was likely. Uh. Three things. One is
task task saturation. She was, they were flying at night,
(20:08):
she was on a check ride. I do not know
what procedures that they were conducting in the moment, but
likely there was a lot going on. They were on
one of the busiest corridor like helicopter airline corridors in
the nation, and I think it was overload, and so
when she heard information from her co pilot telling her
(20:30):
to turn a different way, they were also likely getting
traffic on multiple different radios at the same time, which
is where then the sort of faulty crew coordination came
in as well. To my knowledge, I haven't read in
the report that they acknowledged that they even saw the aircraft,
the airliner and uh and then just bad comms from
(20:56):
ACC the helicopter sort of all the way around. That's
more of a big picture problem. But from what I saw,
I do not think this. I wrote an entire book
on DEI and problems in the military, and I do
not see this as a DEI factor with this specific instance.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, so we will set the whole DEI thing aside
because you're the expert we're listening to here. Now, would
you talk about how you know task saturation that that
term and you think you know she can't separate this
from that and instructor what a lot of people say,
and in my opinion this is completely justified, is why
(21:37):
is she operating in front of a civilian airport? Then? Now,
I'm not even judging her. I don't know whether she
was great or whether she was terrible or brand new
or an idiot, I don't I don't know. But unless
you're the best of the best, why are you operating
in front of my delta flight?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Well, first of all, I will say, I do not
think helicopters should be operating around civilian airports like that,
especially with airliners, especially around DCA with so much traffic
going on, like unless it's the President's helicopters or law enforcement,
I do not think helicopter traffic needs to be flying
(22:14):
in the vicinity of Reagan. Back to the task saturation question.
I'll give you a personal example that happened to me
when I was an Army helicopter pilot at Fort Campbell.
We were doing a night flight. We were both under
goggles just you know, it was just my co pilot
and me I was the pilot in command.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Pause Sorry, sorry, Amber pause. Night vision goggles is what
she's talking about. Just we have a lot of civilians
listening night vision goggles. You have very narrow view night
vision goggles. Go ahead, Amber, Sorry, yes.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And so we were flying in this training area and
there happened to be this air corridor route that flies
through it, and it is sort of uh, you know,
visual flightstep. You heard the same thing under this investigation
that they requested visual flight separation. So that means it's
on the pilot to conduct safe distance of their flight operations.
(23:12):
So you are responsible for observing traffic in your vicinity
and making sure you don't crash into each other. So,
flying in this training area, I see this helicopter coming
down the air corridor. I say to my co pilot,
who is on the flight controls, Hey, do you have
that traffic at twelve o'clock, Roger Roger, I have that traffic,
(23:34):
does not make a course correction, continues flying straight towards it. Hey,
did you just hear what I said? You see that
helicopter traffic at twelve o'clock, Roger Roger, I got it.
Still no course correction. It all happened very fast. Anyway,
I ended up having to grab the flight controls rip
(23:58):
them to do a left ninety degree turns so we
did not have a mid air collision after telling him
twice to turn with zero court and he acknowledged it
both times, and zero course correction. So in an obviously
different situation, I do feel like something like this happened
(24:20):
in that cockpit, except there was no correction from the
other pilot. And I'm not trying to place blame because
I wasn't in the cockpit, and I don't know if
that's exactly what happened, But like I said, based on
my experiences, what we are hearing now in terms of
what was said between the two pilots and the check
(24:43):
pilot telling her to turn left multiple times and she
did not, either she was listening to something else, or
she didn't hear or she was so focused on doing
something different that she didn't do it in time or
acknowledge in time. And I don't know if the check
pilot thought that she was going to turn likely, which
(25:06):
is why he didn't grab the controls and yanked the
aircraft out of the flight path, because neither of them
still may have seen the other aircraft, so they didn't
think it was like as dire as it was.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Amber. Can you help me understand again we're speaking with
Amber Smith. She's flown these things before. I wrote a
wonderful book. Can you help me understand why there are
so many different audio streams coming into the ears of
a helicopter pilot. How is there not only one? How
was that not pared down? Why so many?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
From a safety perspective, you know, while I was flying,
I didn't think anything of it. It was just something
you had to get good at and proficient at and
like listen to many different streams of information coming at
you at the same time. And I will say it's
one of the most challenging parts of it because like
I like I emphasize communication and aviation is you know,
(25:59):
a top priority because things can get screwed up so easily.
If you get the wrong information. And yeah, when I
was an Army helicopter pilot, we had five radius that
we were monitoring at once, and that's a that's in
a combat situation. So you were also you know, listening
to like the ground radio, like the ground guys that
(26:21):
you were operating with as well. But it is but
you also didn't usually have like traffic like tower like
ATC traffic the way you do when you're flying in
US airspace. So anyway, it is NonStop and a lot
of the times you're listening to other people's traffic, and
it's a lot, I'm not gonna lie, and probably not
(26:44):
the safest situation, but you know, you have to listen
to tower, you have to listen to your internal traffic,
you have to listen to your headquarters back at whatever
unit you're attached to. You're listening to different airspace traffic.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And that's what I just described is not even a
combat situation.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So so I don't want to I don't want to
sum this up with my words instead of your words.
So I'll just say, is this just something? And I
know this is the worst explanation in the world, but
is this just one of those things that happens. I mean,
people don't realize this stuff happens all the time. World
War Two, we had more people killed than you can
possibly count, getting information right, slamming into each other, it happens.
(27:32):
It's a dangerous profession.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Well, pilot error is I think still the largest factor
in aviation accidents. You're always going to have pilot error
when it comes to this. It's just it is part
of the profession. Now, obviously when you have passengers on board,
(27:57):
when you have other aircraft, you need to find a
way to mitigate the risk that comes with piloted airplanes
or piloted helicopters. And I do think one of those
things is like the way they were operating DCA, that
(28:18):
special airspace around Reagan National is a problem, and it
was a it was a problem waiting to happen with
the amount of helicopter traffic that they had going on there.
And I do not think that helicopters have any business
flying around commercial airliners like that. And I'm talking about
(28:41):
not just Reagan, but like around any airport. There's too
much room for air or there as we saw, and
so obviously that is a big problem and then the
entire nation wide air traffic controller issue that we're talking about,
(29:04):
which does have the DEI factor attached to it. But
in terms of aviation as long until we get to
the point in the future where it's drones and all
of that type of thing, where they're unmanned aircraft, piloting
error is always going to be a problem. And then
when we get that, when we have unmanned aircraft flying
(29:25):
around people, you're going to have the risks that come
with that. So it's like driving a car. Yeah, you're
never going to mitigate the risk completely. It's there.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, Amber, thank you, appreciate you very much for your expertise.
All Right, I just I wanted an expert to lay
it all out for us. All Right, I'm an expert
on relief Factor. Actually I don't think that's probably true.
I mean, I take relief factor. I guess that does
(29:55):
in a way make me an expert on it. You
see relief Factor, what, Chris, it's one hundred percent drug free.
I know that. I know it was developed by doctors.
See how much of an expert I am. I know
it'll take the pain out of your life. It's a supplement,
it's not there to mask the pain. Stop ignoring it.
(30:17):
Your elbow hurts for a reason, Your shoulder hurts for
a reason. Your back it's it's inflamed. That's why it hurts.
Your body's trying to fight it already. It needs a
little boost. Relief Factor can get pain out of your
life and get you back to doing the things you love.
Try it. They sell three weeks of it for nineteen
dollars and ninety nine cents. Nineteen dollars and ninety five
(30:40):
cents Aha added four cents. Just save you some money.
Go to Relief Factor dot com or call one eight
hundred the number four Relief. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment, this hour
of the Jesse Kelly Show. Don't worry, we still have
another hour with all kinds of things. Emails and other things.
That was Amber Smith. Remember you can email the show
Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Just final word on
this whole thing, on this whole revolutionaries thing. They can't
(31:14):
change who they are and how they think. And this
is why I've said over and over and over again,
you have to give communists fear and pain, or they
will never be dissuaded. You try to compare American Democrats
to Republicans or someone from this country, and you're always confused.
Why would they do that? I don't understand, because you're
(31:34):
comparing them to the wrong things. Compare them to Jihati's
what works with the Jihati. These people feel that tearing
down everything that exists is the correct goal. In fact,
they feel heroic for it. They will stare at you
in the face and they will protect an MS thirteen
illegal alien gang member over an American citizen all day long,
(31:59):
and they will think they are the good guy while
they do it. You can't deal normally with people like that. Now,
let's move away from that, because there's all kinds of
other things I want to get to. Speaking of JB.
Pritzker tossing out a bunch of red meat for his
dirty comedy, bass Jack Schumer's out there saying this.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I'm staying put because I have been able to unite
my caucus in a very strong fight against Trump. And
that's what we have to do, and I'm doing it
every day in every way.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I said. It was a self eating ice cream cone,
self licking ice cream Cone something like that earlier. I
forget what I said. I don't know. I went to
community college. But you see what he's doing. You hear
what he's doing. Opposition to Trump has become so central
to every Democrat in the country that now you can
(32:55):
run on it, and now it counts as political capital.
You know why, Chuck uk Schumer is starting to get
asked questions about, Hey, are you gonna retire hair? Are
you sticking around? You know why? He's get starting to
get these questions because his pull numbers against AOC in
New York in a potential hypothetical primary don't look very good.
Chuck Schumer's starting to feel some heat on his neck.
(33:20):
Chuck Schumer is starting to see that precious little position
of power his potentially evaporate. But how does he respond?
So he doesn't want that to happen without being a senator,
a powerful senator. What is Chuck Schumer just the annoying
neighbor who doesn't know how to grill a cheeseburger? What
is Chuck Schumer's nothing after that? So he has to
(33:40):
resist Trump. He has to fight the revolution against Trump
loudly and publicly, because only that has the potential to
save his job headline, Schumer won't roll out prioritizing another
Trump impeachment. Does Chuck Schumer believe he's going to get
(34:02):
the votes in the Senate for a Trump impeachment? No, Remember,
they won't impeach Trump to after the midterms when we
lose the House, but then they'll impeach him. Does Chuck
Schumer think he's even going to be in control of
the Senate? Probably not. But why does he talk about
impeaching Trump? Now, that's what you do when you want
to hang on to power as a Democrat. And look,
(34:24):
if we're being fair vice versa on the John Cornan front,
because Trump says he'll choose between Ken Paxton and John
Cornan in the Senate race. That's from the epic times.
We really need him to pick Paxton anyway. On the
on the on the flip side of that coin, showing
you you're the Trump guy, you're the Trump loyalist. It's
the best way to stay in power on the right.
(34:46):
That's why John Cornan, who hates Trump, hates everything about Trump,
hates America. First, he's the biggest scumbag in the world. Now,
talks about Donald Trump all the time, Me and Trump,
Me and the Trump agenda, Trump and me, Me and Trump,
Trump and Me. We're just being Trump and Me buddies.
Twight dalks like that, hoping allegiance to Trump is enough
to keep him in the Senate. Opposing Trump is how
(35:09):
you stay elected as a Democrat. Sucking up to Trump
is how you stay elected as a Republican. It's a
really weird place to be as a country either way.
Trump's kind of amazing. Well, when you think about it,
isn't that amazing that this guy came out of nowhere? Uh,
it didn't come out of nowhere, that's not fair, but
politically came out of nowhere in twenty fifteen, and now
(35:34):
he's the son in our solar system, in our political
solar system here in America and frankly the globe. Donald
Trump is It isn't that kind of incredible? What a
phenom of a complete phenom. Anyway, let me talk to
you about something really quickly, because we're gonna talk about
the gigantic scandal that disappeared in five minutes and it
(35:56):
really shouldn't have. Before we get to that, let me
talk to you about Mother's TikTok it's coming. You want
to give mom a gift she will remember the rest
of her life, A gift that your kids will remember,
A gift that two or three generations are now your
(36:17):
family will treasure. Give the gift of Legacy Box. Here's
what Legacy Box is. You take all those pictures, the
hard pictures you have, You take those home movies, the
camquarder tapes and VHS tapes and all that, and you
put it in this box. Legacy Box will send it
to you. Put it in a box, you send it
(36:38):
to Legacy Box. Don't worry. They're right there in Tennessee.
These are American people, my people. These are it's a
family company. You send it to them. They're pros. They
digitize all that, your videos, your pictures, your everything. They
send you all the hard copies back. You now have
those home movies forever. Your kids will get to watch
(37:01):
them when you're gone. They will your grandkids, your great
great great grandkids will get to hear the sound of
your voice. I think that is the coolest thing in
the world. And believe me, your mom will cry if
you get her one. She will minded you want to
try it. They're having a big all American Sale right now,
nine dollars a tape. They're digitizing things at Legacy Box
(37:25):
Big Sale, legacybox dot com, slash jesse. That's where you go,
Legacy box dot com, slash Jesse. Now, scandals right now.
The American media wants you to believe that the big
scandals are at the Pentagon and with trade and with
(37:47):
deportation and all these things. But as you already know,
as we've learned over and over and over again, the
scandal is very very rarely whatever the media says it is,
in fact, that's usually what's going right. The scandal is
what they don't want you talking about. There's a big, big,
big scandal that has to be dug into now. We'll
(38:10):
talk about it next
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
an incredible Monday, and of course we will get to
the revolutionary stuff with the communists this hour. Amber Smith,
that former Army helicopter pilot, She's gonna join us in
(00:31):
about a half hour to talk about that new memo
that was put out about the aftermath of that terrible
crash in DC. Just such a sad story. Anyway, Amber's
going to be here to go over that. We have
a bunch of stuff still to do on the Jesse
Kelly Show, but that's not for right now, because you
know what right now is hour two on Monday. Every
(00:54):
single Monday is Medal of Honor Monday, where we take
a Medal of Honor suggestion or a mental honor citation
and we read it and you can send in suggestions.
Keep in mind, the email address isn't just for your
love hating death threats. If you have ones you like,
you're welcome to send them in Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. This guy's sending this one. It said, Jesse,
(01:16):
I just read the incredible story of tibber ted Ruben.
What a lion. I would love to hear your thoughts
on this war fighting beast. And that's from Monty. So
without further ado, let's talk about Ted Ruben. And he
was actually born in Hungary. The country, Chris, it's a
(01:36):
different country. It's over there in Europe. What Chris, I
didn't think you knew anyway, born in Hungary. This is
from US Army Korea, right, Hey, honoring those who went
above and beyond. It's medal of honor Monday. Remind me
(01:57):
to talk about Hungarian cheesebread after this. For conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and
beyond the call of duty, Corporal Rubin distinguished himself by
extraordinary heroism during the period from the twenty third of
July nineteen fifty to April twentieth, nineteen fifty three, while
(02:18):
serving as a rifleman with Company I, eighth Cavalry Regiment,
first Cavalry Division in the Republic of Korea. While his
unit was retreating to the Pusan perimeter, Corporal Ruben was
assigned to stay behind to keep open the vit old
Tagu Pusan road link used by his withdrawing unit. During
(02:39):
the ensuing battle, overwhelming numbers of North Korean troops assaulted
a hill defended solely by Corporal Reuben. He inflicted a
staggering number of casualties on the attacking force during his
twenty four hour battle, single handedly slowing the enemy advance
to allow the eighth Cavalry Regiment to successfully complete its withdrawal.
(03:02):
Following the breakout from the Pusan perimeter, the eighth Cavalry
Regiment proceeded northward and advanced into North Korea. During the advance,
he helped capture several hundred North Korean soldiers. On October thirtieth,
nineteen fifty, Chinese forces attacked his unit at Unsan, North Korea.
(03:24):
During a massive nighttime assault that night and throughout the
next day. He manned a thirty caliber machine gun at
the south end of the unit's line. After three previous
gunners became casualties, he continued tomand his machine gun until
his ammunition was exhausted. His determined stand slowed the pace
(03:46):
of the enemy advance in his sector, permitting the remnants
of his unit to retreat southward. As the battle raged,
Corporal Reuben was severely wounded and captured by the Chinese,
choosing to remain in the prison camp despite offers from
the Chinese to return him to his native Hungary. Corporal
(04:06):
Reuben disregarded his own personal safety and immediately began sneaking
out of the camp at night in search of food
for his comrades. This guy, breaking into enemy food storehouses
and gardens, he risked certain torture or death if caught.
Corporal Reuben provided not only food to the starving soldiers,
(04:28):
but also desperately needed medical care and moral support for
the sick and wounded of the pow camp. His brave,
selfless efforts were directly attributed to saving the lives of
as many as forty of his fellow prisoners. Corporal Ruben's
gallant actions in close contact with the enemy and unyielding
courage and bravery while a prison war, prisoner of war,
(04:51):
while a prison of war. Okay, they mistyped that while
a prisoner of war are in the highest traditions of
the military service and reflect get credit upon him self
and the United States Army. Don't get many of those,
do we prisoners of war. I have read many, many
books on guys who've gone through different kinds of prison
(05:16):
camp stuff, prisoners of war stuff. As you know, I
am uniquely obsessed with the Pacific War, the Pacific version
of World War Two. So books about are prisoners who
went through the horrific Japanese pow camps. Those are stories
that I just I can't get enough of. And one
(05:39):
thing that kind of it's just it's amazing when you
read these stories about these pow camps, the guys, the
guys who really stand out, and some guys stand out
for the wrong reasons. I'll put it this way. And
for instance, a Japanese prisoner of war camp, our guys
were starving, as you know, they would torture us. They would,
(06:02):
they would, they would, they would torture our guys, kill
our guys that would starve them. They would deny a
medical care. That it was. It was really really really bad,
really sadistic, really bad. And in that environment, some people
shine and some people do not. As far as the
(06:22):
people who do not go. I read a story one
time about an American pow who was killed by his
fellow Americans why he was for extra food and favors
informing on his fellow Americans to the Japanese they had
a little really quiet trial for him, pulled him out
(06:46):
in the woods, killed him for it. There were there
are plenty of stories about Americans. This happens in every country.
When you're desperate, stealing the food of others, things like that,
and vice versa. You get these stories about heroes like
this guy like Reuben, who do extra, do more. And
(07:07):
what really hit me about this middle of our citation,
the reason I wanted to do it was the guys
who do more. Hey, man, take some of my food. Hey,
let me help you out, Let me get you some
medical care. Hey, let me sneak out of the cant
to try to do this. From my reading, they don't
live very often. They just don't. They do extra, they
(07:29):
do more. They die heroes, but they're almost always either
caught and then killed in some terrible way, or they
die because they're giving up their food, they're giving up
their medicine. They're doing it on behalf of others. I
read that book Bloodlands. Blood Lands is the name of
that book. It's kind of a separate subject but along
(07:50):
the same lines, and there it goes over a lot
of the helloa more. That is when that's when Stalin
was starving the Ukrainians to death. And there's a long
path in the book about how it was all the
good ones who died first, all the priests and pastors
who were they were praying over people, giving people food,
giving the generous people. Hey, come on into my home,
(08:13):
you share our food. All the good people died first.
It was all the scumbags who seemed to live through
the whole thing. The good people died first. This one.
It struck me, man, that's no joke to be a
member of a Chinese prison camp for two or three years.
And that's one of those untold stories. A lot of
people don't know about it. In fact, I should probably,
(08:35):
I should probably do a history show on that at
some point in time. But our POWs from Korea were
held there for a long time. And this is under
Mao's China. Now, how was Mao treating his own citizens
right about this time? They weren't exactly living it up
in the you know, the life of luxury. How do
(08:55):
you think it was for American troops during this time?
And remember, we ended up with a lot of POWs
because of how the Korean War was fought. We fought
the North Koreans were taken over South Korea. Then we
showed up, we fought them back, We beat them back,
and then we decided we were going to keep pushing
into North Korea and we started pressing towards China. Mao
(09:20):
saw this as an opportunity and he started flooding hundreds
of thousands of troops across the border. Well, North Korea
is very mountainous, very cold, very remote. And one thing
about the mountains now and always, there aren't that many roads.
Because there's not many ways in and out. You can't
just it's not Nebraska where you can throw a highway
down anywhere. It doesn't work that way. Well, the Chinese
(09:43):
and the North Koreans, they would simply grab the road
you needed to go down south. If they seized control
of that road, you were done. And because you only
had so many routes in and out, your whole unit
could be cut off. We had a lot of guys
get taken prisoner during the Korean War, and they call
that thing the Forgotten War for a reason. You know,
(10:04):
I love it. I just think those guys are amazing people.
But a fascinating affair. All right, let's talk a bit
more about these revolutionaries. Tom Holman came out.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He said this, any public official, where you're mayor city councilman,
or governor, their number more responsibilities protecting the communities. And
Ice has been clear we're targeting public safety thrusts and
national's security threat.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Their number one priorities should be protecting communities. But as
we've said before, that's not how they see their number
one priority. That's why you have criminals all over your community.
Now my area too, it's getting bad. Another carjacking. What
do you carry on you to stop a bad guy?
(10:47):
What do you carry if you if your wife, your husband,
your mother, your son, your daughter. If they are walking
into the mall parking lot and a bad man is
standing there with a knife, what are they gonna do? Die? Cry?
Or are they gonna stop them? With a Berna pistol
(11:11):
launcher less lethal launcher, they can stop them and live.
Does that sound like a plan. You know, Berna's doing
a Mother's Day sale right now, big Mother's Day sale
as they introduce their brand new compact launcher. You should
see this thing. It's about the size of your smartphone,
It's thin. It's not hard to get your daughter to
(11:32):
carry this thing. Should slip right, and that's little fruity
persa hit or of hers. You're on inner shorts or
whatever it is. You're so and you sit right by
your bedside. Get one for mom. You want a nice
Mother's day d on one b y Rna Berna dot com,
slash Jesse, or you can even try one before you
(11:54):
buy it. Going to Berna dot com for a dealer
partner near you. We'll be back. Is he smarter than
everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah? The Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful,
wonderful Monday. We just got done with Metal of Honor Monday.
(12:16):
If you miss that or any part of the show,
you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes.
You can send us an email, love hey, death threats
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So JB. Pritzker, Governor
of Illinois, said something. Now, remember this is gonna be
important for our conversation. This is a man who's very
(12:38):
much flirting with running for president. There are enough rumors
out there. When there are enough rumors, you already know
he's the one putting out the rumors. Feelers if you will, Well,
I'm thinking about running. I might run anyway. What do
your friends say about that? JB. Pritzker, he has a
Well I'm gonna let him talk and then we'll talk
(13:00):
about it. Never before in.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
My life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization
for disruption. But I am now.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The governor of a United States state is calling for
mass protests for disruption. What's going on here? Okay, Well, first,
we'll get to the Pritzker part of it in a moment. First, remember,
communism was born in revolution, and it is a revolutionary religion.
(13:37):
The whole idea behind it is the power structures of
the world are evil and they must be torn down.
That's the idea. The existing power structures are evil and
must be torn down. When it was in Russia, when
it took hold in Russia, they were trying to take
down the czars. When it took hold in China, they
(13:59):
were trying to take down the powers there, the warlords.
They're the people who are running China, Cambodia. They were
trying to take down the royal family. Take They're trying
to destroy always now in forever, it's revolutionary. Well, revolutions
are not polite. They are not nice when you are
trying to tear something down. We've gone over this before.
(14:21):
There's no nonviolent way to destroy something. If there's a
statue in front of me, I can't wish it to
fall over. If I want the statue to fall over
or be destroyed, I have to do something violent to it,
kick it, sledgehammer, debt, cord something. I have to do
some sort of violence to destroy something. That's why violence
(14:44):
is not what they do. It's who they are. As
I've explained a thousand times over. That's why almost every
Democrat in this country, if they don't commit acts of violence,
they're at least kind of okay with it. Why they're revolutionaries,
they're communists. Well, we can't. We can't stop this without
hurting somebody. Someone has to get hurt. Were supposed to
(15:07):
tear down the system without hurting somebody. But back to JB. Pritzker,
what's going on here? Does JMI Pritzker really want people
protesting and rioting in the street.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
In my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization,
for disruption. But I am now.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have
to understand that we will fight their crulty with.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Every megaphone and microphone that we have.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They can't know a moment of peace I see talking
like that. Well, this brings us to the dangerous situation
we have in the country. Did you hear the reaction
of the crowd, whole crowd full of people here He
is really talking about crimes, not the crowd react.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Ever before in my life have I called for mass protests,
for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Woo yeah, why, Well, the problem is the Democrat base
is so rabidly insane now, so communist, so vicious, so violent,
so insane, that you cannot possibly rise to be the
(16:36):
leader of the Democrat Party without saying insane things to
placate your violent, demonic base that demands you say insane things.
That wasn't JB. Pritzker actually believing there should be street mobilization.
Maybe he believes that, maybe he doesn't. That was JB.
(16:57):
Pritzker trying to drive up the poll numbers in the
twenty twenty eight Democrat primary. Because you ain't gonna get
the nominee, Jack the nomination, I should say, you aren't
going to be the nominee. Unless you speak like a
violent revolutionary, it becomes the ultimate self eating ice cream cone.
(17:17):
They're violent, and their rhetoric increases, and then they're violent
and the rhetoric increases, but the violence increases because the
rhetoric increases, But then the rhetoric increases because the people
are demanding that you see how this goes. This is
how this goes. And you know what, you don't hear
with any amount of prominence at all. And he calls
(17:38):
to tone it down, an he calls for moderation, and
he calls, well, I don't know, guys, maybe we went
too far. You notice how you don't hear that from anybody.
Couple Democrats after the election kind of half spoke up
a little. They got to put back in their place
really quickly. Hey something, tradies. I don't know what's happening
(18:04):
or where they're going to go, but they're now celebrating
the revolutionaries. In fact, David Brooks called that judge heroic.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But I don't yet know the specific details of this case,
whether she escorted the guy out the jury door or
whether she's let him or it's so that's all Mark.
I don't want to comment on this specific case, but
especially on the issue of immigration. There are a lot
of people who are appalled by what the administration is doing,
and there will be times for civil disobedience. And to me,
(18:34):
if she, let's say, she did escort this guy out
the door, If federal enforcement agencies come to your courtroom
and you help a guy escape, that is two things.
One it strikes me as maybe something illegal, but it
also strikes me as something heroic.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, Amber Smith. Next, feeling a little stocky, follow leg
and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly DC. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, a fantastic Monday,
and of course it's always a fantastic day when Amber
Smith chooses to join us and dump some expertise on us.
(19:13):
I didn't even know how to really address Amber anymore.
You know, she flew these helicopters, wrote a book, very
very good book. Former senior Pentagon official Amber Smith joins me. Now, okay, Amber,
we all got snippets of the report that came out
in the New York Times. Everybody remembers that terrible helicopter crash,
and today, of course, there are many opinions getting thrown
(19:35):
around about it was it DEI? Was it idiocy? Was
it bad luck? I've never flown a helicopter? What was it?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Well? I definitely from what I've read so far and
just like watching the videos myself of when it actually
happened and since then more information coming out, I do
not think that DEI is a factor here. I do
think that it was likely. Uh. Three things. One is
task task saturation. She was, they were flying at night,
(20:08):
she was on a check ride. I do not know
what procedures that they were conducting in the moment, but
likely there was a lot going on. They were on
one of the busiest corridor like helicopter airline corridors in
the nation, and I think it was overload, and so
when she heard information from her co pilot telling her
(20:30):
to turn a different way, they were also likely getting
traffic on multiple different radios at the same time, which
is where then the sort of faulty crew coordination came
in as well. To my knowledge, I haven't read in
the report that they acknowledged that they even saw the aircraft,
the airliner and uh and then just bad comms from
(20:56):
ACC the helicopter sort of all the way around. That's
more of a big picture problem. But from what I saw,
I do not think this. I wrote an entire book
on DEI and problems in the military, and I do
not see this as a DEI factor with this specific instance.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, so we will set the whole DEI thing aside
because you're the expert we're listening to here. Now, would
you talk about how you know task saturation that that
term and you think you know she can't separate this
from that and instructor what a lot of people say,
and in my opinion this is completely justified, is why
(21:37):
is she operating in front of a civilian airport? Then? Now,
I'm not even judging her. I don't know whether she
was great or whether she was terrible or brand new
or an idiot, I don't I don't know. But unless
you're the best of the best, why are you operating
in front of my delta flight?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Well, first of all, I will say, I do not
think helicopters should be operating around civilian airports like that,
especially with airliners, especially around DCA with so much traffic
going on, like unless it's the President's helicopters or law enforcement,
I do not think helicopter traffic needs to be flying
(22:14):
in the vicinity of Reagan. Back to the task saturation question.
I'll give you a personal example that happened to me
when I was an Army helicopter pilot at Fort Campbell.
We were doing a night flight. We were both under
goggles just you know, it was just my co pilot
and me I was the pilot in command.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Pause Sorry, sorry, Amber pause. Night vision goggles is what
she's talking about. Just we have a lot of civilians
listening night vision goggles. You have very narrow view night
vision goggles. Go ahead, Amber, Sorry, yes.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And so we were flying in this training area and
there happened to be this air corridor route that flies
through it, and it is sort of uh, you know,
visual flightstep. You heard the same thing under this investigation
that they requested visual flight separation. So that means it's
on the pilot to conduct safe distance of their flight operations.
(23:12):
So you are responsible for observing traffic in your vicinity
and making sure you don't crash into each other. So,
flying in this training area, I see this helicopter coming
down the air corridor. I say to my co pilot,
who is on the flight controls, Hey, do you have
that traffic at twelve o'clock, Roger Roger, I have that traffic,
(23:34):
does not make a course correction, continues flying straight towards it. Hey,
did you just hear what I said? You see that
helicopter traffic at twelve o'clock, Roger Roger, I got it.
Still no course correction. It all happened very fast. Anyway,
I ended up having to grab the flight controls rip
(23:58):
them to do a left ninety degree turns so we
did not have a mid air collision after telling him
twice to turn with zero court and he acknowledged it
both times, and zero course correction. So in an obviously
different situation, I do feel like something like this happened
(24:20):
in that cockpit, except there was no correction from the
other pilot. And I'm not trying to place blame because
I wasn't in the cockpit, and I don't know if
that's exactly what happened, But like I said, based on
my experiences, what we are hearing now in terms of
what was said between the two pilots and the check
(24:43):
pilot telling her to turn left multiple times and she
did not, either she was listening to something else, or
she didn't hear or she was so focused on doing
something different that she didn't do it in time or
acknowledge in time. And I don't know if the check
pilot thought that she was going to turn likely, which
(25:06):
is why he didn't grab the controls and yanked the
aircraft out of the flight path, because neither of them
still may have seen the other aircraft, so they didn't
think it was like as dire as it was.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Amber. Can you help me understand again we're speaking with
Amber Smith. She's flown these things before. I wrote a
wonderful book. Can you help me understand why there are
so many different audio streams coming into the ears of
a helicopter pilot. How is there not only one? How
was that not pared down? Why so many?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
From a safety perspective, you know, while I was flying,
I didn't think anything of it. It was just something
you had to get good at and proficient at and
like listen to many different streams of information coming at
you at the same time. And I will say it's
one of the most challenging parts of it because like
I like I emphasize communication and aviation is you know,
(25:59):
a top priority because things can get screwed up so easily.
If you get the wrong information. And yeah, when I
was an Army helicopter pilot, we had five radius that
we were monitoring at once, and that's a that's in
a combat situation. So you were also you know, listening
to like the ground radio, like the ground guys that
(26:21):
you were operating with as well. But it is but
you also didn't usually have like traffic like tower like
ATC traffic the way you do when you're flying in
US airspace. So anyway, it is NonStop and a lot
of the times you're listening to other people's traffic, and
it's a lot, I'm not gonna lie, and probably not
(26:44):
the safest situation, but you know, you have to listen
to tower, you have to listen to your internal traffic,
you have to listen to your headquarters back at whatever
unit you're attached to. You're listening to different airspace traffic.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
And that's what I just described is not even a
combat situation.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
So so I don't want to I don't want to
sum this up with my words instead of your words.
So I'll just say, is this just something? And I
know this is the worst explanation in the world, but
is this just one of those things that happens. I mean,
people don't realize this stuff happens all the time. World
War Two, we had more people killed than you can
possibly count, getting information right, slamming into each other, it happens.
(27:32):
It's a dangerous profession.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Well, pilot error is I think still the largest factor
in aviation accidents. You're always going to have pilot error
when it comes to this. It's just it is part
of the profession. Now, obviously when you have passengers on board,
(27:57):
when you have other aircraft, you need to find a
way to mitigate the risk that comes with piloted airplanes
or piloted helicopters. And I do think one of those
things is like the way they were operating DCA, that
(28:18):
special airspace around Reagan National is a problem, and it
was a it was a problem waiting to happen with
the amount of helicopter traffic that they had going on there.
And I do not think that helicopters have any business
flying around commercial airliners like that. And I'm talking about
(28:41):
not just Reagan, but like around any airport. There's too
much room for air or there as we saw, and
so obviously that is a big problem and then the
entire nation wide air traffic controller issue that we're talking about,
(29:04):
which does have the DEI factor attached to it. But
in terms of aviation as long until we get to
the point in the future where it's drones and all
of that type of thing, where they're unmanned aircraft, piloting
error is always going to be a problem. And then
when we get that, when we have unmanned aircraft flying
(29:25):
around people, you're going to have the risks that come
with that. So it's like driving a car. Yeah, you're
never going to mitigate the risk completely. It's there.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, Amber, thank you, appreciate you very much for your expertise.
All Right, I just I wanted an expert to lay
it all out for us. All Right, I'm an expert
on relief Factor. Actually I don't think that's probably true.
I mean, I take relief factor. I guess that does
(29:55):
in a way make me an expert on it. You
see relief Factor, what, Chris, it's one hundred percent drug free.
I know that. I know it was developed by doctors.
See how much of an expert I am. I know
it'll take the pain out of your life. It's a supplement,
it's not there to mask the pain. Stop ignoring it.
(30:17):
Your elbow hurts for a reason, Your shoulder hurts for
a reason. Your back it's it's inflamed. That's why it hurts.
Your body's trying to fight it already. It needs a
little boost. Relief Factor can get pain out of your
life and get you back to doing the things you love.
Try it. They sell three weeks of it for nineteen
dollars and ninety nine cents. Nineteen dollars and ninety five
(30:40):
cents Aha added four cents. Just save you some money.
Go to Relief Factor dot com or call one eight
hundred the number four Relief. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment, this hour
of the Jesse Kelly Show. Don't worry, we still have
another hour with all kinds of things. Emails and other things.
That was Amber Smith. Remember you can email the show
Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Just final word on
this whole thing, on this whole revolutionaries thing. They can't
(31:14):
change who they are and how they think. And this
is why I've said over and over and over again,
you have to give communists fear and pain, or they
will never be dissuaded. You try to compare American Democrats
to Republicans or someone from this country, and you're always confused.
Why would they do that? I don't understand, because you're
(31:34):
comparing them to the wrong things. Compare them to Jihati's
what works with the Jihati. These people feel that tearing
down everything that exists is the correct goal. In fact,
they feel heroic for it. They will stare at you
in the face and they will protect an MS thirteen
illegal alien gang member over an American citizen all day long,
(31:59):
and they will think they are the good guy while
they do it. You can't deal normally with people like that. Now,
let's move away from that, because there's all kinds of
other things I want to get to. Speaking of JB.
Pritzker tossing out a bunch of red meat for his
dirty comedy, bass Jack Schumer's out there saying this.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
I'm staying put because I have been able to unite
my caucus in a very strong fight against Trump. And
that's what we have to do, and I'm doing it
every day in every way.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I said. It was a self eating ice cream cone,
self licking ice cream Cone something like that earlier. I
forget what I said. I don't know. I went to
community college. But you see what he's doing. You hear
what he's doing. Opposition to Trump has become so central
to every Democrat in the country that now you can
(32:55):
run on it, and now it counts as political capital.
You know why, Chuck uk Schumer is starting to get
asked questions about, Hey, are you gonna retire hair? Are
you sticking around? You know why? He's get starting to
get these questions because his pull numbers against AOC in
New York in a potential hypothetical primary don't look very good.
Chuck Schumer's starting to feel some heat on his neck.
(33:20):
Chuck Schumer is starting to see that precious little position
of power his potentially evaporate. But how does he respond?
So he doesn't want that to happen without being a senator,
a powerful senator. What is Chuck Schumer just the annoying
neighbor who doesn't know how to grill a cheeseburger? What
is Chuck Schumer's nothing after that? So he has to
(33:40):
resist Trump. He has to fight the revolution against Trump
loudly and publicly, because only that has the potential to
save his job headline, Schumer won't roll out prioritizing another
Trump impeachment. Does Chuck Schumer believe he's going to get
(34:02):
the votes in the Senate for a Trump impeachment? No, Remember,
they won't impeach Trump to after the midterms when we
lose the House, but then they'll impeach him. Does Chuck
Schumer think he's even going to be in control of
the Senate? Probably not. But why does he talk about
impeaching Trump? Now, that's what you do when you want
to hang on to power as a Democrat. And look,
(34:24):
if we're being fair vice versa on the John Cornan front,
because Trump says he'll choose between Ken Paxton and John
Cornan in the Senate race. That's from the epic times.
We really need him to pick Paxton anyway. On the
on the on the flip side of that coin, showing
you you're the Trump guy, you're the Trump loyalist. It's
the best way to stay in power on the right.
(34:46):
That's why John Cornan, who hates Trump, hates everything about Trump,
hates America. First, he's the biggest scumbag in the world. Now,
talks about Donald Trump all the time, Me and Trump,
Me and the Trump agenda, Trump and me, Me and Trump,
Trump and Me. We're just being Trump and Me buddies.
Twight dalks like that, hoping allegiance to Trump is enough
to keep him in the Senate. Opposing Trump is how
(35:09):
you stay elected as a Democrat. Sucking up to Trump
is how you stay elected as a Republican. It's a
really weird place to be as a country either way.
Trump's kind of amazing. Well, when you think about it,
isn't that amazing that this guy came out of nowhere? Uh,
it didn't come out of nowhere, that's not fair, but
politically came out of nowhere in twenty fifteen, and now
(35:34):
he's the son in our solar system, in our political
solar system here in America and frankly the globe. Donald
Trump is It isn't that kind of incredible? What a
phenom of a complete phenom. Anyway, let me talk to
you about something really quickly, because we're gonna talk about
the gigantic scandal that disappeared in five minutes and it
(35:56):
really shouldn't have. Before we get to that, let me
talk to you about Mother's TikTok it's coming. You want
to give mom a gift she will remember the rest
of her life, A gift that your kids will remember,
A gift that two or three generations are now your
(36:17):
family will treasure. Give the gift of Legacy Box. Here's
what Legacy Box is. You take all those pictures, the
hard pictures you have, You take those home movies, the
camquarder tapes and VHS tapes and all that, and you
put it in this box. Legacy Box will send it
to you. Put it in a box, you send it
(36:38):
to Legacy Box. Don't worry. They're right there in Tennessee.
These are American people, my people. These are it's a
family company. You send it to them. They're pros. They
digitize all that, your videos, your pictures, your everything. They
send you all the hard copies back. You now have
those home movies forever. Your kids will get to watch
(37:01):
them when you're gone. They will your grandkids, your great
great great grandkids will get to hear the sound of
your voice. I think that is the coolest thing in
the world. And believe me, your mom will cry if
you get her one. She will minded you want to
try it. They're having a big all American Sale right now,
nine dollars a tape. They're digitizing things at Legacy Box
(37:25):
Big Sale, legacybox dot com, slash jesse. That's where you go,
Legacy box dot com, slash Jesse. Now, scandals right now.
The American media wants you to believe that the big
scandals are at the Pentagon and with trade and with
(37:47):
deportation and all these things. But as you already know,
as we've learned over and over and over again, the
scandal is very very rarely whatever the media says it is,
in fact, that's usually what's going right. The scandal is
what they don't want you talking about. There's a big, big,
big scandal that has to be dug into now. We'll
(38:10):
talk about it next
