Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Final hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a fantastic Friday, and ask Doctor Jesse Friday. We're gonna
get through as many of your questions as we possibly can.
Someone wants to talk a little bit of communist history.
(00:32):
Do nations themselves have a psyche? Some guy and his
wife are fighting over who has to do the dishes,
some Napoleon stuff, all that, so much more to come
in the final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. This
might be my favorite email I've gotten today. Hey, Doctor Jesse,
my dad and I listen to your show every day
(00:52):
in the car ride to and from school. I really
enjoy listening to you and learning about the Medal of
Honor recipients. Anyway, I have a history project where we
can choose any topic in regards to history, but not
too broad of a subject, so I was hoping you
could recommend something to do. Lastly, I have some concerns
(01:14):
that my history teacher is a communist, so I would
like to pick a topic to teach him a lesson
about the dangers of communism and or socialism. I'm twelve
years old, in the seventh grade and I live in Minnesota.
Didn't say didn't say it, didn't get name permission, so
(01:34):
I'm not gonna read the name. I need the name,
all right, So here's what you do mean. I'm gonna
look this up and make sure I have the correct spelling. So, yeah, sorry,
I know this is completely unprofessional to do this on
the air. Yeah, I was right. I want you to
do a history topic. Oh no, maybe this is too dark, Chris.
(01:57):
You're gonna have to tell me if this is too dark.
I want you to do a history topic on Nazino Island.
Nozino Island starts with an end like November, right, Nozeno Island.
Long time listeners of the show will remember I did
did a history hour or something like that on it
(02:19):
one time. It was just an hour, right, Chris whatever.
It was a long time ago, but I did one
on it. And you have a dirty comedy teacher who
needs to get taught about dirty COMMI atrocities. This Noazeno
Island story, it is so horrible, beyond belief, and it's
one of those things that surprise surprise the Soviet Union,
(02:41):
the Communists. They kept the horror of it. I believe
it happened in nineteen thirty three. I think it was
in the thirties. The Soviets kept the horror of it quiet,
I think until the eighties or something like that when
they finally released the files. Essentially it was this. You know,
they had the Gulag system right and let me let
(03:03):
me explain. To get sent to the Gulag took nothing
at all because it was a communist system. They're just monsters,
nothing at all. And you know you've heard the old frame,
the old phrase show me your papers, show me your papers. Well,
that comes from, for instance, the Soviet Union, show me
your papers. You had to have your papers on you
(03:27):
at all time, at all time, and if the authority
stopped you and you didn't, it's bye bye jack. So
if you want to run down to the grocery store
and buy some skittles, and maybe maybe your house is
like right next to it, maybe it's across the street,
how forget it. I'd a store on my coat real
quick and run across the street. But your papers are upstairs.
(03:49):
This stuff happened, cops. If they stop you papers and
you don't have them, you don't go back home and
say goodbye. You get bundled up and tossed in the
back of van, and you are shipped off to some
god forsaken open air prison somewhere suffering all manner of abuses.
Oh and there's this part too. It wasn't just innocent
(04:12):
people without their papers or political prisoners, murderers, rapists, thieves,
that these types of people. After the Soviets clamped down control,
they used all those people for the revolution. Then as
soon as the revolution was over, they shot them all
or threw them all in prison. Well you're in prison
with really really bad, dangerous people again. You were going
(04:34):
out for skittles. Now you're not all right now. Nazeno Island,
the Soviets were allegedly building I used that with their fingers,
quote building a goolag on this island. It was an
island in the middle of a river. In case you're wondering,
(04:55):
I think a river. I haven't done it in a while.
I'm pretty sure it was a large, large river anyway, Yeah,
big in the middle of a river, and it was
not built yet, no facilities. But they started throwing people
on trains and shipping them to this island. Now the
island has no buildings again, there's no facilities, there's nothing
(05:17):
on it. It does have guards, that has Soviet guards,
so you can't just leave. But they get the train
there with all these people, some murders, some rapists, some
totally innocent, by the way, some women, some men. It's
not like they discriminated. Whatever. They show up and there's
(05:40):
no facilities on the island. They just drop the people
off anyway. They're communists. What do they care? Good luck? Well,
how long would it take in an environment like that
for it to descend into the most violent house of
horrors you've ever seen in your entire life. Cannibalism running rampant,
(06:05):
The abuse the women suffered is unimaginable. It's so bad
people are trying to throw themselves into the river to
try to escape, and the guards are shooting people in
the river. It was, it is. It is a horror
story of communism. Chris. You don't think this is too
much for a twelve year old, right, Chris is concerned?
(06:29):
Oh my gosh, Chris suggested the helloda more. He actually
said the Heloda more was a little more PG. Families
were eating each other. How was that more PG? Chris?
And what universe is the Helloda more more PG than
Nazino Island In what universe could you possibly come up
with that in your mind? That doesn't even extent Chris,
(06:52):
you know what it definitely don't do the Helloda more.
My goodness, don't do the Heloda more. Maybe Nazino Island
was too much. Oh well, he knew what he was
getting or she knew what he was getting. I don't
want to. I'm gonna give anything away, Jesse. Do you
think nations have a sort of national psyche or character.
If so, wouldn't you agree that Russia is conducting their
maneuver war today in Ukraine pretty much the same way
(07:14):
they dealt with Napoleon two hundred years ago. It's just
their nature. It seems cool history story. Yeah, I think
nations do have a psyche a character, and it's what
is passed down from other countries or from the people
who came before us. We If you are an American,
I realize there are people listening from all over the world,
(07:35):
which is weird. But if you are an American, you
probably do not fully appreciate how much we love guns
here compared to other countries, other countries. I mean, yes,
there are guns in other countries. I'm not gonna act
like they don't have them. But this personal possession of
firearms and oftentimes several firearms and thousands rounds of ammunition
(08:00):
and stuff like that in almost every other country on
the planet, that is just it's unheard of. It's completely
unheard of. For an American, that's the norm. I think
that's every friend I have. I don't. I don't know
that I know anybody personally who I hang out with
who doesn't have several guns and tons of ammo. It's yeah,
(08:24):
react Chris, It's not like I have one or two. Well,
I keep this one just for safety. Now now I've
got this one, I've got that one. Who check out
my new ar I'm buying another one this weekend. Well,
that didn't magically appear in US. That was passed down
to us by the wonderful, brave people who hacked this
(08:45):
country out of the barren place that it was barren
as far as civilization goes. It wasn't just the Founding
Fathers either, although they were important and the Second Amendment
was important as they saw, but all the other people.
Remember back East was unsettled Indian country. You're if you're
(09:06):
gonna take your family to the Blue Ridge Mountains and
you're gonna build a cabin there and try to make
a life there. Not only do you the man have
to know how to use guns, your wife does too,
and so do your kids. And when they go out
and about, you gotta go gather up the chickens or something.
You have guns on you because it is a dangerous,
(09:28):
dangerous place. Guns were necessary for the American people in
their infancy to conquer this country, and even later than that,
waggage trains heading west, well, there are comanches and all
kinds of other things out west. I would highly recommend
you be armed, and they all were. And that legacy
(09:50):
of firearms, the necessity of firearms and firearms meaning safety,
it still exists in America today. You see it. Remember that,
Remember this crazy stat during the pandemic during COVID firearm
sales shot through the roof. It was a virus. Are
you gonna shoot it? But we know anything anything that
(10:13):
makes us well, there's a lot of government tyranny. There's
a lot of this. A lot of people were getting upset.
You know what, I need another gun. I gotta go
any I gotta go get something that's awesome. Yeah, nations
have a psyche for sure. For sure, We'll be back.
Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(10:34):
on an amazing, wonderful Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday.
You can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Hey, Jesse,
A guy wrote you an email last night claiming Napoleon
was really French because the French bought Corsica from Genoa
around a year before Napoleon was born, therefore technically making
him French. He has his dates right, but ethnicity wrong.
(10:59):
I love that everyone's just arguing about Napoleon's great Napoleon's
family were of Genoese and Tuscan lineage, and he had
been living in Corsica for several generations prior to his
ear had been living in generation Courscuff for several generations
prior to his birth. So Northern Italian but Italian. Nonetheless,
(11:21):
love the show. You bring history to life. I always
figured he was Italian because he was so short. Dear
Doctor Jesse, my wife and I have a disagreement and
we need your opinion. I won't tell you which view
is correct, I mean mine, so we get your unbiased opinion.
Here it is, when one of us cooks dinner, they
are of the opinion they shouldn't have to clean up
(11:43):
the kitchen because they already did the work of cooking
and the non cooking spouse is on cleanup duty. But
the other one of us thinks the person cooking should
clean up the mess they made. What say you says?
I can say his name? His name is Isaac. All right.
(12:06):
I understand this division of marital duties that takes place
in many homes across the country. I generally don't have
to deal with it at my house because I smartly
loaded the dishwasher incorrectly so many times that ab who
(12:27):
cooks most of the meals, will then refuse to have
me load the dishwasher because you'll screw it up. And
I'm oh, dang, but I wanted to help out, so
I don't have to deal with this as much. But
it is that way in a lot of homes. Someone cooks,
the other one cleans. Let me tell you why this
is incorrect. The person who does the cooking should also
(12:50):
do the cleaning. If you want to divide up marital duties,
then one person does that one night cooking and cleaning.
Then the next person does it the other cooking and cleaning.
And let me tell you why cooking one is enjoyable.
You're hungry, your Everyone loves food. You know, I'm food obsessed.
(13:12):
Everyone loves food. It's enjoyable to make a steak or
a pasta or whatever. It's enjoyable to eggs. It smells good.
It's fun to cook. That's one. It's not fun to clean.
Nobody has ever said, man, I can't wait to do
dishes that the dishes suck. You don't want to clean,
you're full, you want to go with lax. It's terrible.
(13:35):
That's one. Two. Sometimes Ah will cook, and you know
what a health freak she is a lot of women
are like this where she wants fresh this and fresh that. Like,
for instance, if I'm putting garlic in something. Maybe I'm
coming up with like a steak, marinate or something, and
I want garlic for it, what do I do. I
(13:57):
go to the grocery store and I buy a little
jar of minced garlic and I take scoop out of
there and I don't but in there. She would never
do that in a million years. She has to grab
a garlic clove herself and mince it all up. This
is a long way of saying, when ob cooks whatever
she's cooking, the amount of dishes is unbelievable. Unbelievable. If
(14:20):
I am cooking something for myself for the boys, it's
almost always one pan or one pot. I'll do everything
in that one pan, one pot. Maybe I'll thw something
on the grill. So if I am stuck with cleanup
duty for her meals, that is that is I hate
(14:43):
to even say this word, you know, I don't like
this word, but that's not fair. That's not If she
gets to do the dishes off meals I cook, she
has one pan to clean. No, No, the person who
cooks does the cleaning. Jesse listening to you explain how
China pretty much has a class system and one tries
(15:03):
to be in the good category. Does this explain why
Chuck Schumer is scared to death that he may not
end up being in charge of the Democrat Party. Yeah,
of course, of course, Chuck Schumer. People think they're getting
Chuck Schumer. People on the right think they're getting Chuck
Schumer every time they bring up some old video of
(15:25):
Chuck Schumer saying the exact opposite types of things he
says today. Chuck Schumer says this crazy left wing thing today,
But look at Chuck Schumer from ten years ago saying
the exact opposite, and we think, oh, we really got him.
But we don't understand the people who say that stuff
don't understand we're not getting him. Chuck Schumer is trying
(15:48):
to hold off the left flank of his own party.
He's desperately trying to hold it off. Why Chuck Schumer
believes because he's retiring, he's not running again. But Chuck
Schumer believes, and I don't think he's right about this,
but you never know. Chuck Schumer believes there's a chance
Democrats are going to take the Senate and the House
(16:10):
at the mid terms. If that were to happen, well,
you know how it works. The Senate Democrats, if they're
the majority, they are going to elect who their leader is.
If you're Chuck Schumer, you spent your life searching for power,
trying to hang on to power. Being a New York
Senator is a very powerful thing. You think it would
(16:31):
be how he wanted to round out his career by
being the Senate majority leader, Senate Majority leader. That's big
boy stuff. That's private planes and personal security. That's big
boy stuff. That's showing up at a steakhouse without a
reservation saying go get me a table, and they do.
(16:52):
He's just desperately trying to hang onto power. All the
older Democrats are scared of the rabid communist base now,
and they have to go far to the left of
anything they've done before in order to hold onto that power.
What Chris, No, he's right, Chris said, a monster of
their own making. Of course. Yeah, no, Chuck Schumer couldn't
happen to a nicer guy. Right. We'll be back feeling
(17:15):
a little stocky. Follow legend. Subscribe on social at Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a wonderful,
wonderful Friday. I hope you are getting ready to enjoy
an amazing weekend. I'm enjoying an amazing ass, doctor Jesse Friday.
If this thing doesn't brighten your mood, I don't know
(17:37):
what will.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Four I Brandon M. Scott, Mayor of the Great City
of Baltimore, Do hear by proclaim that the four thousand
block of Freemount Avenue shall be some ceremoniy renamed as
Tupacs of cool Way and encourage all Baltimore residents to
join in the celebration.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Congratulations, Oh, I am quite sure they'll be celebrating tonight,
all right, Doctor Jesse, am I wrong to be confused?
If the CIA believes Iran still has significant ballistic missile capabilities,
can't they share that info with our military so those
(18:16):
installations can be destroyed? How much of the information we
hear is just plain? That's a potty word, buddy, since
I can say his name, his name is Bill. All right.
So first, intelligence and intelligence gathering. We all love a
spy story, we all do. Its human nature. It's mysterious
(18:38):
and it's cool, and they have exploding pens and things
like that. We love this. But intelligence gathering it's not
an exact thing. Oftentimes you're getting bits of information here,
bits of information from there, and you're not sure who
and what you can trust and how solid. But it is.
(19:00):
For instance, I'm the CIA, I'm not, but I'm the CIA,
and I have a guy inside of Iran. And this
guy inside of Iran he wants something, obviously, maybe wants money,
maybe he wants to come to America whatever it is.
And this guy tells me, hey, I was working on
this military base in this part of town, and they
(19:23):
have ballistic missiles there. Okay, maybe I even have grainy
satellite pictures that make it look like they have missiles there. Okay,
that's good. Maybe I even get confirmation they have missiles there. Okay, good,
Now I can take it out. But he doesn't know
my source. He doesn't know everything. Everything is an estimate.
(19:49):
That there's an estimate, you know. You hear them out there.
Trump's talking about this all the time, that we've destroyed
ninety percent of their air force and ninety percent of
their navy. I mean, I'm sure he's not far off.
Often we wrong. I'm not calling him a liar, but
those are estimates. Iran is in a mountainous country. People
think of it as if it's the desert. It is
(20:09):
a mountainous country of ninety million people. Do you know
how much stuff you can hide in the mountains? A lot,
a lot, a lot of things can be hidden in
the mountains. This is not I didn't mean this to
be ominous, but these decisive figures of well why not
just why not just fire a missile? At their missile sites.
(20:32):
There's no way we know where all of their missile
sites are. That's not believable. And that's not because we're
not capable. We're doing We're doing Our intelligence gathering has
been top pretty top notch. Obviously, the military has been
pretty top notched. None of this was meant to be insulting.
It's just it's not as an exact science as the
movies would make us believe. Because we watch, you know,
(20:54):
we watch an HBO series, we watch a military movie,
and the spy does he para shoots into the into
this country, and then low crawls through the mountains and
and he locates the uh, the fortress that has the
missiles in it, and then he puts in a phone
call and the Green Berets drop from the sky and
they they blow everything up. And then and then of
(21:15):
course they get out of the country, no problem though,
must no fuss, Scott free and all and all of
it works well. But that is not at all how
real life actually works at all. And I do think
I do need to bring this up in life. I
hate that I'm gonna sound like an old football coach here,
but you you obviously know this is true in life.
(21:39):
Successes can turn into failures, and failures can turn into successes.
For instance, if I'm if I'm a boxer, I decided
I want to be a boxer, I have a new
I have a fight coming up, and I don't really
train that hard man, kind of lazy, not gonna go
put in the work. And I go out there and
I stomp this guy. I knock him out first round.
(22:02):
That's a success, right, I won. In the long run,
that's probably going to be a failure because I learned
that I don't have to work that hard, and now
the next guy is going to kill me. Right, that's
a success that turns into a failure. Venezuela Removing Maduro
is one of the coolest, most impressive military operations I
(22:26):
have ever heard of in my entire life. In my
entire life. What we did down there, the intelligence gathering,
I mean, they want to talk about some great spy stuff,
the intelligence gathering to be able to locate him. You
didn't know what kind of his defenses were. To be
able to knock out all their radar systems, so they
(22:47):
didn't know we were coming. We flew helicopters into their
capital in the middle of the night, got out of them,
stole their president and his wife, packed it up and
left without losing a single man. It is one of
(23:08):
the coolest, most impressive things I have ever heard of,
and I'm dying for I'm dying for a book to
come out about it. You know, someone's gonna write a
book or do a movie series or something about it.
It's going to be sweet. I want to know. I mean,
some of it's going to be a lot of it's
going to be classified, but I want to know all
those details. Don't you a huge success? However, that is
(23:34):
catching lightning in a bottle? Remember do you remember Trump
gave that State of the Union address and he, well,
someone was a Jdvance I think, draped that medal of
honor around that superstud the helicopter pilot. Remember that that
guy was shot several times in the legs several times.
I don't know how many, but several times. Yeah, I
(23:56):
think he has a walker now, Chris, I mean probably,
I shouldn't say'll probably recover Lord billing he recovers, I
don't know, but well, one of those bullets that goes
through his legs gets about a foot higher. They're given
that medal to his wife that it was a huge
(24:17):
success but could have easily resulted in a loss of life.
A hel goes down that bad things happened, but because
it was such a tremendous success, and we woke up
one morning and it felt good to know, Wow, our
military is capable of doing some really sweet things. Didn't
it feel good? Felt good as an American? Felt good.
(24:41):
That kind of thing can make you cocky. They can't.
I mean, we'll just fly down to Caracas and steal
the president and his wife. Then you look over at
Iran and you think to yourself, just took it all,
took out all those dirt balls in Venezuela. No muss,
(25:01):
no fuss, Hey, Ayatola, We're coming. Surely we can just
do that again. But Iran has not Venezuela, and the
straight of horror moves. Business is a frigging pain. And
they attacked our Trump announced this on social media, so
it's all out there now. But Iran launched a big
(25:22):
attack on two of our destroyers yesterday. They didn't lay
a glove on them, by the grace of God. But drones,
boats that you name it. Iran still has weapons inside
the Strait of hor moves, and it is still shooting
at and shooting ships in the Strait of Horror Moves.
That's why our blockade, by the way, is not necessarily
(25:42):
in the Strait. It's off the Strait because the Strait
is a dangerous, dangerous place. That's a problem. I read
an article yesterday. You know, there's still fifteen hundred ships
stranded there. They can't get through it. Fifteen hundred ships.
How much money and goods is sitting on fifteen hundred
(26:04):
ships just freaking park there. Remember that story about the
cruise ship that made a run for it. I think
they got shot at if I remember, I think the
Iranians shot at them, but they made it cruise ship.
I mean, you had to imagine they're probably running out
of food. Imagine going on vacation and being stuck over there.
It's ugly. Successes can lead to failure sometimes. All right,
(26:26):
We'll be back. Feeling a little stocky, Follow like and
subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's show. It is The
Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The Jesse Kelly Show
on a Wonderful Friday. Yeah, Speaking of the Strait and
Rubio talked about it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I've seen the reporting overnight that Iran is established or
trying to establish some agency that's going to control traffic
in the Straits. That would be very problem, and that
would actually be unacceptable. I mean, we're the normalizing of
their controlling of international waterway is both illegal and it's
just something that's unacceptable, and the world doesn't start asking
itself what is it willing to do? If Aron tries
(27:05):
to normalize a control of an international waterway, I think
that's unacceptable. So but we're expecting a response from them
today at some point. We have not received that yet
as in the last hour, but perhaps that will come.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
They're terrorists, that's what they do, Jesse. Personal debt is
at or close to an all time high, prices keep rising,
and fuel is through the roof. I am concerned that
personal spending will be cut to a point where a
recession is likely. If that happens, Democrats will come back
to power big time. They'll give you on anything at once,
(27:41):
and will likely allow them to develop nuclear weapons. Am
I overly concerned? So his name is James, I wouldn't
say overly concerned at all. I don't know that you're right,
and you don't know that you're right. I mean, it's
just an ominous prediction. But you could say, Look, if
you want to paint a doomsday scenario in your head,
(28:01):
you can certainly do it. You can't the doomsday scenario.
Let's say we don't get a deal. Where do you
go from here? If you don't get a deal, then
Trump passed to decide just keep the blockade going. Well,
then you'll get people who will say things like this, well,
(28:22):
Iran is about to collapse. I've had people tell me
that Iran's about to collapse. They're going to collapse. Maybe
that's true, but how many times in history have we
seen regimes can last for a long time, a long time.
If if Iran doesn't think it's beaten, then it's not beaten.
(28:43):
Remember Napoleon standing in Moscow. Surely he's going to sue
for peace. He's beaten. I'm in his capital, I've won
like every engagement. He's beaten. He doesn't agree. Alixander doesn't
didn't think it was beaten. So we would have the
choice of maintaining the blockade if there's no deal. If
(29:05):
there's no deal, we would have the choice of maintaining
the blockade or because Trump knows you can't do that
forever either, because it is causing global prices to go up, up, up,
up and up. They only got and remember countries are
running out of oil reserves. There is a time limit
on this. You can't just say, well, the blockade's staying forever.
(29:25):
Uhh No, the economic consequences that would be drastic. So
his other option is some form of kinetic action and
whatever that may be. All you can go off of
is rumors and earth threats Trump is put out there
will bomb your power plants and bridges, will bomb you
back to the Stone Age. But if you go that route, well,
(29:47):
now Iran isn't even gonna bother trying for a deal.
They're gonna blow up every ship that goes through the
Strait if they can. They're gonna you could easily paint
a doomsday scenario in your head if we can't wrap
it up. If we cannot, and I don't know that,
you never know, it might be a deal in five minutes.
(30:08):
If we can't wrap it up, and if prices continue
to rise, and if countries start running out of the
oil in Europe is already running out of the oil.
You could see a scenario where there is a serious
global recession, and if that is the case, it probably
is going to be a very rocky November. But we
(30:31):
don't know that that's going to be the case. Like
I said, they may be signing on the dotted line
as you're listening to the sound of my voice. And
by the way, I know you're stressed about it. And
I'll be honest, I thought about it many times. It's
on my mind. It is nothing you can do about it.
Nothing you can do about it. Again, I want to
sound like your mom, but what are you stressing about
(30:51):
something you can't control? Nothing you can do about it.
Just keep your head down, keep plugging away, and we'll
try to make it right. Hey, Jesse Axton, Cornyn's Senate
race gets much attention on your show for good reason.
What are your thoughts on the impact of the Massy
Race in the house. Personally, I can't stand him. He's
an open borders, globalist scrifter and so on and so forth.
(31:14):
Reese an ad showed him trying to align himself with
Trump whatever. So this is one of those ones that
I'm just not emotionally invested in. I don't have any
problem with Massy. Trump and Massy hate each other, absolutely
hate each other. It got extremely personal, extremely public, extremely personal,
(31:37):
and now they despise each other. So Trump through his
backing behind a primary challenger of Massy. It's not that
the race doesn't matter, I'm not saying that, But as
far as what it does for the country, win or lose,
it just doesn't. It's nothing that really holds my interest
at all. I don't even have any idea what the
current polling is. I haven't looked. I don't really care. Yes,
(32:01):
you are an ex military and history buff. How many
war leaders in history pulled back when just when the
enemy was on its heels and ripe for defeat. How
often did this mistake allow the enemy to strategically retreat, rearm, resupply,
mount a counter attack, delayed defeat, and even achieve victory.
Did Trump listen to the wrong advisors and make the
(32:24):
same mistake with this senseless and fruitless ceasefire instead of
pushing ahead to force Iran to consider unconditional surrender. Look,
we don't know what the future is going to bring.
I don't know. Was it foolish? I mean those how
many moments in that Napoleon story that we went over
this week. How many moments did we even talk about it?
(32:46):
Of Hey, he could push. He rested this night, and
it cost him. He made this decision, but he could
have made that decision. He made this one, but he
could have made that one. And it was always with
the benefit of hindsight, because we already know the story
now at the time. You don't know the future. I
don't know the future. I don't know what tomorrow is
(33:07):
going to bring for me personally, for you, for the country,
for Trump, for Iran. I don't know. Only God knows
those things. I don't know any of that stuff. All
we can do now is pray for success, Pray that
it ends, Pray we can get out of there and
then we don't get creamed in November. All right. And
obviously we don't want a world where chie hotties control
(33:28):
the freaking straight of Hormuz. So I have to freaking
deal with that problem. Now. Now I've got to leave you.
I've got to leave you for a little while. Okay,
I'll be okay, but I'm going to leave you for
a little bit. When I come back, tell you all
about it, all right, Keep your chin up. Go download
(33:50):
the podcast. If you miss me. That's all.
This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Final hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a fantastic Friday, and ask Doctor Jesse Friday. We're gonna
get through as many of your questions as we possibly can.
Someone wants to talk a little bit of communist history.
(00:32):
Do nations themselves have a psyche? Some guy and his
wife are fighting over who has to do the dishes,
some Napoleon stuff, all that, so much more to come
in the final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. This
might be my favorite email I've gotten today. Hey, Doctor Jesse,
my dad and I listen to your show every day
(00:52):
in the car ride to and from school. I really
enjoy listening to you and learning about the Medal of
Honor recipients. Anyway, I have a history project where we
can choose any topic in regards to history, but not
too broad of a subject, so I was hoping you
could recommend something to do. Lastly, I have some concerns
(01:14):
that my history teacher is a communist, so I would
like to pick a topic to teach him a lesson
about the dangers of communism and or socialism. I'm twelve
years old, in the seventh grade and I live in Minnesota.
Didn't say didn't say it, didn't get name permission, so
(01:34):
I'm not gonna read the name. I need the name,
all right, So here's what you do mean. I'm gonna
look this up and make sure I have the correct spelling. So, yeah, sorry,
I know this is completely unprofessional to do this on
the air. Yeah, I was right. I want you to
do a history topic. Oh no, maybe this is too dark, Chris.
(01:57):
You're gonna have to tell me if this is too dark.
I want you to do a history topic on Nazino Island.
Nozino Island starts with an end like November, right, Nozeno Island.
Long time listeners of the show will remember I did
did a history hour or something like that on it
(02:19):
one time. It was just an hour, right, Chris whatever.
It was a long time ago, but I did one
on it. And you have a dirty comedy teacher who
needs to get taught about dirty COMMI atrocities. This Noazeno
Island story, it is so horrible, beyond belief, and it's
one of those things that surprise surprise the Soviet Union,
(02:41):
the Communists. They kept the horror of it. I believe
it happened in nineteen thirty three. I think it was
in the thirties. The Soviets kept the horror of it quiet,
I think until the eighties or something like that when
they finally released the files. Essentially it was this. You know,
they had the Gulag system right and let me let
(03:03):
me explain. To get sent to the Gulag took nothing
at all because it was a communist system. They're just monsters,
nothing at all. And you know you've heard the old frame,
the old phrase show me your papers, show me your papers. Well,
that comes from, for instance, the Soviet Union, show me
your papers. You had to have your papers on you
(03:27):
at all time, at all time, and if the authority
stopped you and you didn't, it's bye bye jack. So
if you want to run down to the grocery store
and buy some skittles, and maybe maybe your house is
like right next to it, maybe it's across the street,
how forget it. I'd a store on my coat real
quick and run across the street. But your papers are upstairs.
(03:49):
This stuff happened, cops. If they stop you papers and
you don't have them, you don't go back home and
say goodbye. You get bundled up and tossed in the
back of van, and you are shipped off to some
god forsaken open air prison somewhere suffering all manner of abuses.
Oh and there's this part too. It wasn't just innocent
(04:12):
people without their papers or political prisoners, murderers, rapists, thieves,
that these types of people. After the Soviets clamped down control,
they used all those people for the revolution. Then as
soon as the revolution was over, they shot them all
or threw them all in prison. Well you're in prison
with really really bad, dangerous people again. You were going
(04:34):
out for skittles. Now you're not all right now. Nazeno Island,
the Soviets were allegedly building I used that with their fingers,
quote building a goolag on this island. It was an
island in the middle of a river. In case you're wondering,
(04:55):
I think a river. I haven't done it in a while.
I'm pretty sure it was a large, large river anyway, Yeah,
big in the middle of a river, and it was
not built yet, no facilities. But they started throwing people
on trains and shipping them to this island. Now the
island has no buildings again, there's no facilities, there's nothing
(05:17):
on it. It does have guards, that has Soviet guards,
so you can't just leave. But they get the train
there with all these people, some murders, some rapists, some
totally innocent, by the way, some women, some men. It's
not like they discriminated. Whatever. They show up and there's
(05:40):
no facilities on the island. They just drop the people
off anyway. They're communists. What do they care? Good luck? Well,
how long would it take in an environment like that
for it to descend into the most violent house of
horrors you've ever seen in your entire life. Cannibalism running rampant,
(06:05):
The abuse the women suffered is unimaginable. It's so bad
people are trying to throw themselves into the river to
try to escape, and the guards are shooting people in
the river. It was, it is. It is a horror
story of communism. Chris. You don't think this is too
much for a twelve year old, right, Chris is concerned?
(06:29):
Oh my gosh, Chris suggested the helloda more. He actually
said the Heloda more was a little more PG. Families
were eating each other. How was that more PG? Chris?
And what universe is the Helloda more more PG than
Nazino Island In what universe could you possibly come up
with that in your mind? That doesn't even extent Chris,
(06:52):
you know what it definitely don't do the Helloda more.
My goodness, don't do the Heloda more. Maybe Nazino Island
was too much. Oh well, he knew what he was
getting or she knew what he was getting. I don't
want to. I'm gonna give anything away, Jesse. Do you
think nations have a sort of national psyche or character.
If so, wouldn't you agree that Russia is conducting their
maneuver war today in Ukraine pretty much the same way
(07:14):
they dealt with Napoleon two hundred years ago. It's just
their nature. It seems cool history story. Yeah, I think
nations do have a psyche a character, and it's what
is passed down from other countries or from the people
who came before us. We If you are an American,
I realize there are people listening from all over the world,
(07:35):
which is weird. But if you are an American, you
probably do not fully appreciate how much we love guns
here compared to other countries, other countries. I mean, yes,
there are guns in other countries. I'm not gonna act
like they don't have them. But this personal possession of
firearms and oftentimes several firearms and thousands rounds of ammunition
(08:00):
and stuff like that in almost every other country on
the planet, that is just it's unheard of. It's completely
unheard of. For an American, that's the norm. I think
that's every friend I have. I don't. I don't know
that I know anybody personally who I hang out with
who doesn't have several guns and tons of ammo. It's yeah,
(08:24):
react Chris, It's not like I have one or two. Well,
I keep this one just for safety. Now now I've
got this one, I've got that one. Who check out
my new ar I'm buying another one this weekend. Well,
that didn't magically appear in US. That was passed down
to us by the wonderful, brave people who hacked this
(08:45):
country out of the barren place that it was barren
as far as civilization goes. It wasn't just the Founding
Fathers either, although they were important and the Second Amendment
was important as they saw, but all the other people.
Remember back East was unsettled Indian country. You're if you're
(09:06):
gonna take your family to the Blue Ridge Mountains and
you're gonna build a cabin there and try to make
a life there. Not only do you the man have
to know how to use guns, your wife does too,
and so do your kids. And when they go out
and about, you gotta go gather up the chickens or something.
You have guns on you because it is a dangerous,
(09:28):
dangerous place. Guns were necessary for the American people in
their infancy to conquer this country, and even later than that,
waggage trains heading west, well, there are comanches and all
kinds of other things out west. I would highly recommend
you be armed, and they all were. And that legacy
(09:50):
of firearms, the necessity of firearms and firearms meaning safety,
it still exists in America today. You see it. Remember that,
Remember this crazy stat during the pandemic during COVID firearm
sales shot through the roof. It was a virus. Are
you gonna shoot it? But we know anything anything that
(10:13):
makes us well, there's a lot of government tyranny. There's
a lot of this. A lot of people were getting upset.
You know what, I need another gun. I gotta go
any I gotta go get something that's awesome. Yeah, nations
have a psyche for sure. For sure, We'll be back.
Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(10:34):
on an amazing, wonderful Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday.
You can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Hey, Jesse,
A guy wrote you an email last night claiming Napoleon
was really French because the French bought Corsica from Genoa
around a year before Napoleon was born, therefore technically making
him French. He has his dates right, but ethnicity wrong.
(10:59):
I love that everyone's just arguing about Napoleon's great Napoleon's
family were of Genoese and Tuscan lineage, and he had
been living in Corsica for several generations prior to his
ear had been living in generation Courscuff for several generations
prior to his birth. So Northern Italian but Italian. Nonetheless,
(11:21):
love the show. You bring history to life. I always
figured he was Italian because he was so short. Dear
Doctor Jesse, my wife and I have a disagreement and
we need your opinion. I won't tell you which view
is correct, I mean mine, so we get your unbiased opinion.
Here it is, when one of us cooks dinner, they
are of the opinion they shouldn't have to clean up
(11:43):
the kitchen because they already did the work of cooking
and the non cooking spouse is on cleanup duty. But
the other one of us thinks the person cooking should
clean up the mess they made. What say you says?
I can say his name? His name is Isaac. All right.
(12:06):
I understand this division of marital duties that takes place
in many homes across the country. I generally don't have
to deal with it at my house because I smartly
loaded the dishwasher incorrectly so many times that ab who
(12:27):
cooks most of the meals, will then refuse to have
me load the dishwasher because you'll screw it up. And
I'm oh, dang, but I wanted to help out, so
I don't have to deal with this as much. But
it is that way in a lot of homes. Someone cooks,
the other one cleans. Let me tell you why this
is incorrect. The person who does the cooking should also
(12:50):
do the cleaning. If you want to divide up marital duties,
then one person does that one night cooking and cleaning.
Then the next person does it the other cooking and cleaning.
And let me tell you why cooking one is enjoyable.
You're hungry, your Everyone loves food. You know, I'm food obsessed.
(13:12):
Everyone loves food. It's enjoyable to make a steak or
a pasta or whatever. It's enjoyable to eggs. It smells good.
It's fun to cook. That's one. It's not fun to clean.
Nobody has ever said, man, I can't wait to do
dishes that the dishes suck. You don't want to clean,
you're full, you want to go with lax. It's terrible.
(13:35):
That's one. Two. Sometimes Ah will cook, and you know
what a health freak she is a lot of women
are like this where she wants fresh this and fresh that. Like,
for instance, if I'm putting garlic in something. Maybe I'm
coming up with like a steak, marinate or something, and
I want garlic for it, what do I do. I
(13:57):
go to the grocery store and I buy a little
jar of minced garlic and I take scoop out of
there and I don't but in there. She would never
do that in a million years. She has to grab
a garlic clove herself and mince it all up. This
is a long way of saying, when ob cooks whatever
she's cooking, the amount of dishes is unbelievable. Unbelievable. If
(14:20):
I am cooking something for myself for the boys, it's
almost always one pan or one pot. I'll do everything
in that one pan, one pot. Maybe I'll thw something
on the grill. So if I am stuck with cleanup
duty for her meals, that is that is I hate
(14:43):
to even say this word, you know, I don't like
this word, but that's not fair. That's not If she
gets to do the dishes off meals I cook, she
has one pan to clean. No, No, the person who
cooks does the cleaning. Jesse listening to you explain how
China pretty much has a class system and one tries
(15:03):
to be in the good category. Does this explain why
Chuck Schumer is scared to death that he may not
end up being in charge of the Democrat Party. Yeah,
of course, of course, Chuck Schumer. People think they're getting
Chuck Schumer. People on the right think they're getting Chuck
Schumer every time they bring up some old video of
(15:25):
Chuck Schumer saying the exact opposite types of things he
says today. Chuck Schumer says this crazy left wing thing today,
But look at Chuck Schumer from ten years ago saying
the exact opposite, and we think, oh, we really got him.
But we don't understand the people who say that stuff
don't understand we're not getting him. Chuck Schumer is trying
(15:48):
to hold off the left flank of his own party.
He's desperately trying to hold it off. Why Chuck Schumer
believes because he's retiring, he's not running again. But Chuck
Schumer believes, and I don't think he's right about this,
but you never know. Chuck Schumer believes there's a chance
Democrats are going to take the Senate and the House
(16:10):
at the mid terms. If that were to happen, well,
you know how it works. The Senate Democrats, if they're
the majority, they are going to elect who their leader is.
If you're Chuck Schumer, you spent your life searching for power,
trying to hang on to power. Being a New York
Senator is a very powerful thing. You think it would
(16:31):
be how he wanted to round out his career by
being the Senate majority leader, Senate Majority leader. That's big
boy stuff. That's private planes and personal security. That's big
boy stuff. That's showing up at a steakhouse without a
reservation saying go get me a table, and they do.
(16:52):
He's just desperately trying to hang onto power. All the
older Democrats are scared of the rabid communist base now,
and they have to go far to the left of
anything they've done before in order to hold onto that power.
What Chris, No, he's right, Chris said, a monster of
their own making. Of course. Yeah, no, Chuck Schumer couldn't
happen to a nicer guy. Right. We'll be back feeling
(17:15):
a little stocky. Follow legend. Subscribe on social at Jesse
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a wonderful,
wonderful Friday. I hope you are getting ready to enjoy
an amazing weekend. I'm enjoying an amazing ass, doctor Jesse Friday.
If this thing doesn't brighten your mood, I don't know
(17:37):
what will.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Four I Brandon M. Scott, Mayor of the Great City
of Baltimore, Do hear by proclaim that the four thousand
block of Freemount Avenue shall be some ceremoniy renamed as
Tupacs of cool Way and encourage all Baltimore residents to
join in the celebration.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Congratulations, Oh, I am quite sure they'll be celebrating tonight,
all right, Doctor Jesse, am I wrong to be confused?
If the CIA believes Iran still has significant ballistic missile capabilities,
can't they share that info with our military so those
(18:16):
installations can be destroyed? How much of the information we
hear is just plain? That's a potty word, buddy, since
I can say his name, his name is Bill. All right.
So first, intelligence and intelligence gathering. We all love a
spy story, we all do. Its human nature. It's mysterious
(18:38):
and it's cool, and they have exploding pens and things
like that. We love this. But intelligence gathering it's not
an exact thing. Oftentimes you're getting bits of information here,
bits of information from there, and you're not sure who
and what you can trust and how solid. But it is.
(19:00):
For instance, I'm the CIA, I'm not, but I'm the CIA,
and I have a guy inside of Iran. And this
guy inside of Iran he wants something, obviously, maybe wants money,
maybe he wants to come to America whatever it is.
And this guy tells me, hey, I was working on
this military base in this part of town, and they
(19:23):
have ballistic missiles there. Okay, maybe I even have grainy
satellite pictures that make it look like they have missiles there. Okay,
that's good. Maybe I even get confirmation they have missiles there. Okay, good,
Now I can take it out. But he doesn't know
my source. He doesn't know everything. Everything is an estimate.
(19:49):
That there's an estimate, you know. You hear them out there.
Trump's talking about this all the time, that we've destroyed
ninety percent of their air force and ninety percent of
their navy. I mean, I'm sure he's not far off.
Often we wrong. I'm not calling him a liar, but
those are estimates. Iran is in a mountainous country. People
think of it as if it's the desert. It is
(20:09):
a mountainous country of ninety million people. Do you know
how much stuff you can hide in the mountains? A lot,
a lot, a lot of things can be hidden in
the mountains. This is not I didn't mean this to
be ominous, but these decisive figures of well why not
just why not just fire a missile? At their missile sites.
(20:32):
There's no way we know where all of their missile
sites are. That's not believable. And that's not because we're
not capable. We're doing We're doing Our intelligence gathering has
been top pretty top notch. Obviously, the military has been
pretty top notched. None of this was meant to be insulting.
It's just it's not as an exact science as the
movies would make us believe. Because we watch, you know,
(20:54):
we watch an HBO series, we watch a military movie,
and the spy does he para shoots into the into
this country, and then low crawls through the mountains and
and he locates the uh, the fortress that has the
missiles in it, and then he puts in a phone
call and the Green Berets drop from the sky and
they they blow everything up. And then and then of
(21:15):
course they get out of the country, no problem though,
must no fuss, Scott free and all and all of
it works well. But that is not at all how
real life actually works at all. And I do think
I do need to bring this up in life. I
hate that I'm gonna sound like an old football coach here,
but you you obviously know this is true in life.
(21:39):
Successes can turn into failures, and failures can turn into successes.
For instance, if I'm if I'm a boxer, I decided
I want to be a boxer, I have a new
I have a fight coming up, and I don't really
train that hard man, kind of lazy, not gonna go
put in the work. And I go out there and
I stomp this guy. I knock him out first round.
(22:02):
That's a success, right, I won. In the long run,
that's probably going to be a failure because I learned
that I don't have to work that hard, and now
the next guy is going to kill me. Right, that's
a success that turns into a failure. Venezuela Removing Maduro
is one of the coolest, most impressive military operations I
(22:26):
have ever heard of in my entire life. In my
entire life. What we did down there, the intelligence gathering,
I mean, they want to talk about some great spy stuff,
the intelligence gathering to be able to locate him. You
didn't know what kind of his defenses were. To be
able to knock out all their radar systems, so they
(22:47):
didn't know we were coming. We flew helicopters into their
capital in the middle of the night, got out of them,
stole their president and his wife, packed it up and
left without losing a single man. It is one of
(23:08):
the coolest, most impressive things I have ever heard of,
and I'm dying for I'm dying for a book to
come out about it. You know, someone's gonna write a
book or do a movie series or something about it.
It's going to be sweet. I want to know. I mean,
some of it's going to be a lot of it's
going to be classified, but I want to know all
those details. Don't you a huge success? However, that is
(23:34):
catching lightning in a bottle? Remember do you remember Trump
gave that State of the Union address and he, well,
someone was a Jdvance I think, draped that medal of
honor around that superstud the helicopter pilot. Remember that that
guy was shot several times in the legs several times.
I don't know how many, but several times. Yeah, I
(23:56):
think he has a walker now, Chris, I mean probably,
I shouldn't say'll probably recover Lord billing he recovers, I
don't know, but well, one of those bullets that goes
through his legs gets about a foot higher. They're given
that medal to his wife that it was a huge
(24:17):
success but could have easily resulted in a loss of life.
A hel goes down that bad things happened, but because
it was such a tremendous success, and we woke up
one morning and it felt good to know, Wow, our
military is capable of doing some really sweet things. Didn't
it feel good? Felt good as an American? Felt good.
(24:41):
That kind of thing can make you cocky. They can't.
I mean, we'll just fly down to Caracas and steal
the president and his wife. Then you look over at
Iran and you think to yourself, just took it all,
took out all those dirt balls in Venezuela. No muss,
(25:01):
no fuss, Hey, Ayatola, We're coming. Surely we can just
do that again. But Iran has not Venezuela, and the
straight of horror moves. Business is a frigging pain. And
they attacked our Trump announced this on social media, so
it's all out there now. But Iran launched a big
(25:22):
attack on two of our destroyers yesterday. They didn't lay
a glove on them, by the grace of God. But drones,
boats that you name it. Iran still has weapons inside
the Strait of hor moves, and it is still shooting
at and shooting ships in the Strait of Horror Moves.
That's why our blockade, by the way, is not necessarily
(25:42):
in the Strait. It's off the Strait because the Strait
is a dangerous, dangerous place. That's a problem. I read
an article yesterday. You know, there's still fifteen hundred ships
stranded there. They can't get through it. Fifteen hundred ships.
How much money and goods is sitting on fifteen hundred
(26:04):
ships just freaking park there. Remember that story about the
cruise ship that made a run for it. I think
they got shot at if I remember, I think the
Iranians shot at them, but they made it cruise ship.
I mean, you had to imagine they're probably running out
of food. Imagine going on vacation and being stuck over there.
It's ugly. Successes can lead to failure sometimes. All right,
(26:26):
We'll be back. Feeling a little stocky, Follow like and
subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's show. It is The
Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The Jesse Kelly Show
on a Wonderful Friday. Yeah, Speaking of the Strait and
Rubio talked about it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
I've seen the reporting overnight that Iran is established or
trying to establish some agency that's going to control traffic
in the Straits. That would be very problem, and that
would actually be unacceptable. I mean, we're the normalizing of
their controlling of international waterway is both illegal and it's
just something that's unacceptable, and the world doesn't start asking
itself what is it willing to do? If Aron tries
(27:05):
to normalize a control of an international waterway, I think
that's unacceptable. So but we're expecting a response from them
today at some point. We have not received that yet
as in the last hour, but perhaps that will come.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
They're terrorists, that's what they do, Jesse. Personal debt is
at or close to an all time high, prices keep rising,
and fuel is through the roof. I am concerned that
personal spending will be cut to a point where a
recession is likely. If that happens, Democrats will come back
to power big time. They'll give you on anything at once,
(27:41):
and will likely allow them to develop nuclear weapons. Am
I overly concerned? So his name is James, I wouldn't
say overly concerned at all. I don't know that you're right,
and you don't know that you're right. I mean, it's
just an ominous prediction. But you could say, Look, if
you want to paint a doomsday scenario in your head,
(28:01):
you can certainly do it. You can't the doomsday scenario.
Let's say we don't get a deal. Where do you
go from here? If you don't get a deal, then
Trump passed to decide just keep the blockade going. Well,
then you'll get people who will say things like this, well,
(28:22):
Iran is about to collapse. I've had people tell me
that Iran's about to collapse. They're going to collapse. Maybe
that's true, but how many times in history have we
seen regimes can last for a long time, a long time.
If if Iran doesn't think it's beaten, then it's not beaten.
(28:43):
Remember Napoleon standing in Moscow. Surely he's going to sue
for peace. He's beaten. I'm in his capital, I've won
like every engagement. He's beaten. He doesn't agree. Alixander doesn't
didn't think it was beaten. So we would have the
choice of maintaining the blockade if there's no deal. If
(29:05):
there's no deal, we would have the choice of maintaining
the blockade or because Trump knows you can't do that
forever either, because it is causing global prices to go up, up, up,
up and up. They only got and remember countries are
running out of oil reserves. There is a time limit
on this. You can't just say, well, the blockade's staying forever.
(29:25):
Uhh No, the economic consequences that would be drastic. So
his other option is some form of kinetic action and
whatever that may be. All you can go off of
is rumors and earth threats Trump is put out there
will bomb your power plants and bridges, will bomb you
back to the Stone Age. But if you go that route, well,
(29:47):
now Iran isn't even gonna bother trying for a deal.
They're gonna blow up every ship that goes through the
Strait if they can. They're gonna you could easily paint
a doomsday scenario in your head if we can't wrap
it up. If we cannot, and I don't know that,
you never know, it might be a deal in five minutes.
(30:08):
If we can't wrap it up, and if prices continue
to rise, and if countries start running out of the
oil in Europe is already running out of the oil.
You could see a scenario where there is a serious
global recession, and if that is the case, it probably
is going to be a very rocky November. But we
(30:31):
don't know that that's going to be the case. Like
I said, they may be signing on the dotted line
as you're listening to the sound of my voice. And
by the way, I know you're stressed about it. And
I'll be honest, I thought about it many times. It's
on my mind. It is nothing you can do about it.
Nothing you can do about it. Again, I want to
sound like your mom, but what are you stressing about
(30:51):
something you can't control? Nothing you can do about it.
Just keep your head down, keep plugging away, and we'll
try to make it right. Hey, Jesse Axton, Cornyn's Senate
race gets much attention on your show for good reason.
What are your thoughts on the impact of the Massy
Race in the house. Personally, I can't stand him. He's
an open borders, globalist scrifter and so on and so forth.
(31:14):
Reese an ad showed him trying to align himself with
Trump whatever. So this is one of those ones that
I'm just not emotionally invested in. I don't have any
problem with Massy. Trump and Massy hate each other, absolutely
hate each other. It got extremely personal, extremely public, extremely personal,
(31:37):
and now they despise each other. So Trump through his
backing behind a primary challenger of Massy. It's not that
the race doesn't matter, I'm not saying that, But as
far as what it does for the country, win or lose,
it just doesn't. It's nothing that really holds my interest
at all. I don't even have any idea what the
current polling is. I haven't looked. I don't really care. Yes,
(32:01):
you are an ex military and history buff. How many
war leaders in history pulled back when just when the
enemy was on its heels and ripe for defeat. How
often did this mistake allow the enemy to strategically retreat, rearm, resupply,
mount a counter attack, delayed defeat, and even achieve victory.
Did Trump listen to the wrong advisors and make the
(32:24):
same mistake with this senseless and fruitless ceasefire instead of
pushing ahead to force Iran to consider unconditional surrender. Look,
we don't know what the future is going to bring.
I don't know. Was it foolish? I mean those how
many moments in that Napoleon story that we went over
this week. How many moments did we even talk about it?
(32:46):
Of Hey, he could push. He rested this night, and
it cost him. He made this decision, but he could
have made that decision. He made this one, but he
could have made that one. And it was always with
the benefit of hindsight, because we already know the story
now at the time. You don't know the future. I
don't know the future. I don't know what tomorrow is
(33:07):
going to bring for me personally, for you, for the country,
for Trump, for Iran. I don't know. Only God knows
those things. I don't know any of that stuff. All
we can do now is pray for success, Pray that
it ends, Pray we can get out of there and
then we don't get creamed in November. All right. And
obviously we don't want a world where chie hotties control
(33:28):
the freaking straight of Hormuz. So I have to freaking
deal with that problem. Now. Now I've got to leave you.
I've got to leave you for a little while. Okay,
I'll be okay, but I'm going to leave you for
a little bit. When I come back, tell you all
about it, all right, Keep your chin up. Go download
(33:50):
the podcast. If you miss me. That's all.
