Speaker 1: Let's have some fun on a Tuesday, or Tuesday, that's
Speaker 1: a Thursday. I was testing you, Chris on a Thursday,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a wonderful Thursday. We have so
Speaker 1: much in store for you tonight. Of course, it's an
Speaker 1: ass doctor Jesse Thursday, because I have another work thing
Speaker 1: to my own. Nothing I can do about that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about traders in our midst amnesty. You have
Speaker 1: questions about that, the demoralization of Americans, specifically younger Americans.
Speaker 1: What do we do moving forward as a party when
Speaker 1: Trump is gone? How do we deal with the Arctic
Speaker 1: frost stuff? How can it be that they didn't do
Speaker 1: anything we can send them to prison for. We even
Speaker 1: have historical things like the most lopsided invasion in history.
Speaker 1: And someone wants to know why I don't take phone calls. Oh,
Speaker 1: that is so much more coming up tonight on the
Speaker 1: world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But I wanted to actually
Speaker 1: begin here with this one oracle the airwaves. After Tuesday's
Speaker 1: election results, Donald Trump said the reason for the election
Speaker 1: results was because the name Trump wasn't on the ballot.
Speaker 1: And I agree. I'm reading the book under seeds so
Speaker 1: on and so forth talks about the MAGA movement. It
Speaker 1: seems to me that any member of the Trump family
Speaker 1: could be elected as president. What say you should we
Speaker 1: work for Eric Trump as president? All right? So let
Speaker 1: me put it this way. My sons. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a father. I have two sons. I am adamant that
Speaker 1: they will work with their hands. Well, for James, starting
Speaker 1: about now, he's done with his sports season for a
Speaker 1: little bit. He's got time. Now it's time to get
Speaker 1: a job, and a physical job of some kind. Don't
Speaker 1: care whether you're pounding nails, doing concrete work, electrical plumbing something,
Speaker 1: and the heat and the cold, work with your hands.
Speaker 1: Do I want him? Do I demand that he do
Speaker 1: that for living the rest of his life. No, that's
Speaker 1: not my call. He's going to grow up and make
Speaker 1: his own decisions, and that's not necessarily my desire. I
Speaker 1: want him to be a good man, provides for his
Speaker 1: wife and his kids. That's what I want for them.
Speaker 1: But I want them to work with their hands now,
Speaker 1: the way I did for really most of my adult life.
Speaker 1: Why what is the purpose? Well, I need my sons
Speaker 1: to learn what a hard day's work is, whether or
Speaker 1: not they do that the rest of their lives, whatever
Speaker 1: they end up doing, maybe it'll be something with computers,
Speaker 1: maybe one of them will do this. I need them
Speaker 1: to understand one the working man, the working woman, long hours, heat, cold, discomfort,
Speaker 1: and understanding that and learning that will benefit them the
Speaker 1: rest of their lives. Essentially, I need to give them
Speaker 1: the fundamentals of what a hard day of work is.
Speaker 1: What's this that to do with Donald Trump in the
Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party. Well, Donald Trump is an
Speaker 1: unbelievably unique figure, unique figure. Anybody who's followed politics for
Speaker 1: any length of time knows this. Love or hate, we
Speaker 1: just haven't seen anything like him. Somebody who just speaks
Speaker 1: off the cuff the way he speaks, somebody who will
Speaker 1: openly talk about sometimes things you love, sometimes things you hate.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want him to shut up. Sometimes he makes
Speaker 1: you stand up and cheer. But he is unapologetically who
Speaker 1: he is. Bombastic, charismatic, just different, very very different than
Speaker 1: what we've known in politics. And because of that, he
Speaker 1: has enamored the American people on really both sides. Most
Speaker 1: of the people on the right love him, vote for him,
Speaker 1: have voted for him multiple times, and they see so
Speaker 1: much of politics through the Trump lens, and most people
Speaker 1: on the left vice versa, think he's the Antichrist. Everything
Speaker 1: he does is wrong, everything ties back to him. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got it, but no matter what, it's undeniable. The
Speaker 1: political world for a decade has revolved around Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: His first election, it was Trump Trump. No one talked
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton. She was hardly mentioned in the news.
Speaker 1: Trump Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump's the best, Trump's the devil.
Speaker 1: Trump's the best, Trump's the devil. Even in the election,
Speaker 1: they stole, Joe Biden goes out steals the election, they
Speaker 1: walk into the White House, Joe Biden four years made
Speaker 1: it all about Trump Trump and magamember maga this and
Speaker 1: ul traum maga and mega maga. How they were clearly
Speaker 1: pull testing how to mago this and magad that. Now
Speaker 1: back to being all about Trump. We're twenty five years in,
Speaker 1: We're a quarter of the way in to the twenty
Speaker 1: first century, and Donald Trump is the seminal figure on
Speaker 1: the planet. Think about that, the figure on planet Earth
Speaker 1: for a quarter of the twenty first century as our president,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Now that can be good, it can be wonderful,
Speaker 1: and it can also be bad. To the point of disaster.
Speaker 1: Why when a guy like that leaves, when he's gone,
Speaker 1: figuring out how to move forward without that central figure,
Speaker 1: that sun where every thing revolves around him, figuring out
Speaker 1: how to move forward without that can be so so
Speaker 1: difficult for so many people. Maybe this is you, maybe
Speaker 1: it's not, Maybe you're more of an independent thinkure. But
Speaker 1: for so many people on the right, this is Trump.
Speaker 1: But they don't have Republican signs. They have Trump signs.
Speaker 1: They don't have Republican hats or their senator's hat or whatever.
Speaker 1: They have Trump hats. They make America great again hats.
Speaker 1: It's about Trump. I drive through Texas where I live
Speaker 1: in Texas. We just took a long road trip, not
Speaker 1: that long ago. You drive through rural Texas. There's not
Speaker 1: a single solitary homemade sign for any Republican you can
Speaker 1: find anywhere in rural Texas. But you will see Donald
Speaker 1: Trump on billboards. You will see Donald Trump's name spray
Speaker 1: painted on fences. He is the central figure. So after
Speaker 1: he leaves, yeves, surely we need another one, right, we
Speaker 1: have to have another one. Go get Eric, someone called
Speaker 1: Don the Don Junior, who I'd like a lot that
Speaker 1: you know, I know him, I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: But here's the problem with that. Donald Trump has become
Speaker 1: such a central figure that we we've lost sight of fundamentals.
Speaker 1: We've lost sight of so many of the things that work.
Speaker 1: How is it we still have candidates running for governor
Speaker 1: who can't raise money, who don't go out and register voters.
Speaker 1: How is it that we are still lacking in so
Speaker 1: many of the basic fundamentals, the blocking and tackling that
Speaker 1: wins elections. You know how well having Trump there covered
Speaker 1: up a lot of those things. You know, you bring
Speaker 1: in Michael Jordan to your basketball team, you can get
Speaker 1: a little lax on. Maybe we don't need a point
Speaker 1: guard that's that great. Maybe we don't have to focus
Speaker 1: on rebounding as much. We've got Michael Jordan, and you
Speaker 1: fall into this trap of Jordan this and Jordan that,
Speaker 1: and we won't get as many rebounds. Maybe don't we
Speaker 1: have the point guard, But Michael Jordan will pull it
Speaker 1: out in the end, He's Michael Jordan. But then Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan retires one day and you don't have a point
Speaker 1: guard and nobody can rebound, and you go on and
Speaker 1: lose almost every game in the season. I have voiced
Speaker 1: this to you before, and I'm voicing it to you
Speaker 1: right now. I am concerned what happens to our movement
Speaker 1: for a while. We'll figure it out eventually. I am
Speaker 1: concerned what happens to our movement post Donald Trump. And
Speaker 1: this is from somebody who is very impressed with Jadie Vance.
Speaker 1: As I've told you about, this is not about the
Speaker 1: next guy, whoever that may be, whether it's Vance or
Speaker 1: the Santis, whoever it may be, it's not about them.
Speaker 1: There's certainly not a knock on them at all. We
Speaker 1: have looked at Trump. We've looked too Trump for ten years,
Speaker 1: and now the very thought of not having a Trump
Speaker 1: on the ballot to motivate voters, well, let's go find
Speaker 1: another one. Get Ivanka out here, God forbid. But we
Speaker 1: don't need another Trump. If the America First Movement is
Speaker 1: only a Trump movement, it's going to die. It will
Speaker 1: not succeed because Donald Trump, as an incredible figure as
Speaker 1: he is, is just a man just like you and
Speaker 1: just like me. He's eighty years old, you ever take.
Speaker 1: I don't know his exact age. I think he's seventy nine,
Speaker 1: but it's eighty years old. Donald Trump might die tonight
Speaker 1: heart attack or something like that. God forbid. Obviously, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want that. But we wake up tomorrow and
Speaker 1: there's no Trump. The America First Movement cannot die. We
Speaker 1: have to go back to fundamentals. We have to remember
Speaker 1: and learn fundamentals. The future of the America First Movement
Speaker 1: cannot be dragging anybody with the name of Trump off
Speaker 1: the couch and throwing them up on stage, because it
Speaker 1: will fail. It will fail. It's doomed to failure if
Speaker 1: it's only a Trump movement. It has to be more.
Speaker 1: It has to be bigger than that. That is not
Speaker 1: the solution going forward. But we will talk a bit
Speaker 1: about the solution a little bit more in a moment.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday,
Speaker 1: a wonderful Thursday. I cannot get the smile off my face,
Speaker 1: chopping away at all these questions. Look, we'd suffered an
Speaker 1: election loss on Tuesday night, and people are looking around
Speaker 1: and they're hurting, and they're looking for explanations, and I'm
Speaker 1: kind of answering a question, do we need another Trump?
Speaker 1: People don't get motivated to vote when Trump's not on
Speaker 1: the ballot. How do we handle this. But this, this
Speaker 1: goes back to what I was talking about, how we
Speaker 1: have to learn fundamentals again. Trump has driven so much
Speaker 1: motivation for so long that we have lost sight of
Speaker 1: fundamentals and in some in some cases, we never learned fundamentals.
Speaker 1: So I want to discuss this again. I talked to
Speaker 1: I touched on this a little bit. I think it
Speaker 1: was last night. It was last night about something that
Speaker 1: happened locally in my area. And this is going to
Speaker 1: sound very, very boring. Just stay with me for a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, believe it matters. We had elections in
Speaker 1: Texas on Tuesday, all kinds of amendments and things like that.
Speaker 1: But there were also these bonds, school bond things locally
Speaker 1: in many different jurisdictions here in the state. On my ballot,
Speaker 1: every one of these bonds had language, and I told
Speaker 1: you about this yesterday in bold letters. The rest of
Speaker 1: the description of the bond was just typed out normally,
Speaker 1: but in bold, all capital letters, leading off everything on
Speaker 1: the ballot it said, and I quote, this is a
Speaker 1: tax increase. They shouted it at you. They were all
Speaker 1: defeated that had a big hand in it. They were
Speaker 1: all defeated people read that, you really don't read the
Speaker 1: rest of it. A nope, not taxing me anymore. Now,
Speaker 1: language on the ballot? Is that something you've ever thought
Speaker 1: about considered? Who decides what language? Do you know when
Speaker 1: that language was decided for the ballot? Do you know
Speaker 1: when September one, twenty twenty five? Jewish producer Chris dug
Speaker 1: into it today dug up the actual date they decided
Speaker 1: on that language. Do you know there was activism behind
Speaker 1: getting that language on the ballot? Now, boy, wasn't that boring?
Speaker 1: That was like two minutes. Isn't that boring? Ballot language
Speaker 1: and school bonds? And who cares about that? Can't I
Speaker 1: just go to a rally? But that's what wins elections,
Speaker 1: and if you don't do that, that's what loses elections.
Speaker 1: Georgia State ideally love Georgia. Had a rough night on
Speaker 1: Tuesday too, really rough night. Republican areas losing in Georgia.
Speaker 1: How can this be? Surely it's the economy. People are
Speaker 1: mad at Trump. Okay, well some of that stuff may
Speaker 1: be true, and we're going to talk about that in
Speaker 1: a moment. But I have a lot of friends in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Most of my Georgia friends did not even know there
Speaker 1: was an election. The ones who did, they found out
Speaker 1: about it last minute and went and voted. The general
Speaker 1: public had no idea there were elections. Who's going to
Speaker 1: show up if no one knows the election is happening.
Speaker 1: Super motivated communists who hate Donald Trump and want to
Speaker 1: burn the country down, they will find out about it.
Speaker 1: They will show up. Normal Americans who don't want their
Speaker 1: country burnt down won't show up. Like I said last night,
Speaker 1: every race tells its own tale. So what happened there?
Speaker 1: We didn't do blocking and tackling. We didn't raise money, organize,
Speaker 1: get out the vote, notify friends, family and neighbors. And
Speaker 1: this is the kind of thing and I'll touch on
Speaker 1: this actually in a little bit. This is the kind
Speaker 1: of thing that frustrates people like you. And it's totally understandable.
Speaker 1: I know it frustrates you because it frustrates me. I
Speaker 1: take the time I know about every election. It's very easy.
Speaker 1: I find out about the election. My wife and I
Speaker 1: we dig in. We do some research, oftentimes a couple
Speaker 1: days beforehand, if we're not already working on the campaign.
Speaker 1: Which happens as well. But we dig in, we do
Speaker 1: the research. We not only show up at the polls.
Speaker 1: We tell friends. We tell the same thing you do.
Speaker 1: We do the same thing, and people who don't we
Speaker 1: get angry, we get frustrated. Don't you care? Why aren't
Speaker 1: you involved? Why aren't you? You can beat your head
Speaker 1: against the wall and yell and scream at your normy
Speaker 1: neighbor who doesn't know and doesn't care, But all that's
Speaker 1: gonna do is stress you out. You're better off coming
Speaker 1: to a place and I'm pointing fingers at me. I'm
Speaker 1: better off coming to a place of acceptance that my
Speaker 1: normy neighbors who do love the country are never going
Speaker 1: to care like I care. They're never going to be
Speaker 1: involved like I am involved, and I have to be
Speaker 1: their involvement. That is not fair, But you know how
Speaker 1: much I hate that word. Life isn't fair. You have
Speaker 1: a burden your neighbors don't have. Don't feel I should say.
Speaker 1: I wish they had the sense of duty you have.
Speaker 1: I wish they would get involved. I wish they would
Speaker 1: they don't. We have to drag them out. Why did
Speaker 1: we lose elections in Bucks County, Pennsylvania? Why do we
Speaker 1: lose elections in Jewel. Why did we lose here? Why
Speaker 1: did we lose there? We love to make these big
Speaker 1: broad statements. We lost. Cousin blank sounds good on a
Speaker 1: bumper sticker. It's a very good headline, made a good tweet.
Speaker 1: But each in every candidate, each in every campaign, has
Speaker 1: its own story. We have got to now. We can't
Speaker 1: wait till twenty twenty eight. Now, I'm not saying you
Speaker 1: have to put your Trump hat away, not at all.
Speaker 1: We have got to accept he's gone. You will never
Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump ever. Again He's gone. We have
Speaker 1: to learn blocking and tackling now again, Now, what is
Speaker 1: the blocking and tackling of elections? Working on campaigns, knocking
Speaker 1: on doors, phone banking, registering new voters, maybe donating money
Speaker 1: to a campaign. If you can't, maybe running for office yourself.
Speaker 1: The lay, non sexy things that don't get you on
Speaker 1: the news. That's what wins Donald Trump will not carry
Speaker 1: you to a single other election win period.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 2: Remember you can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 2: Let's dig into this, Jesse, I just wanted to say,
Speaker 2: you were spot on about us Trump loving conservatives support
Speaker 2: wearing thin.
Speaker 1: Pause. I need to clarify what I was saying. What
Speaker 1: I said in case you didn't listen last night, And
Speaker 1: this is something I've been touching on a lot, and
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is aware of this. People have not
Speaker 1: felt life being more affordable over the last ten months.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that's a fair criticism. By the way, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's fair or unfair, but life is not fair.
Speaker 1: That's not what it's about. People. Many people voted for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump because Joe Biden made life unaffordable with his
Speaker 1: insane spending, which caused inflation. Now and maybe this describes you. Now,
Speaker 1: people aren't making it, they can't find a job, they
Speaker 1: can't make ends meet, and there's a lot of these people.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is you. And these people don't care about Ukraine,
Speaker 1: they don't they don't care about Israel, Hamas, they don't
Speaker 1: care about Venezuela, they don't care about the South China Sea.
Speaker 1: They don't care, but they're not interested in it. When
Speaker 1: you are bleeding money, when you can't afford to get by,
Speaker 1: or maybe you're barely getting by, and you can't afford
Speaker 1: you know what, there is no there's no let's go
Speaker 1: out for Mexican food on Friday night because you don't
Speaker 1: have an extra ninety dollars laying around. People don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about any of the other things. They want
Speaker 1: life to become affordable. That's what I said. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the Trump administration knows is they're starting to
Speaker 1: put up public statements. They're going to start focusing one
Speaker 1: hundred percent on affordability and domestically and things like that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so back to the email. It makes me sad to
Speaker 1: even think about I'm a sixty six year old retired.
Speaker 1: I'm sixty six years old. I'm retired. I just had
Speaker 1: to cancel my cable and I love my TV, Jesse.
Speaker 1: I can't afford it anymore. I meet my friends once
Speaker 1: a month at a local restaurant. The rest of the time,
Speaker 1: I'm working in my small yard and taking long walks.
Speaker 1: I'm content, but times are tough, Jesse. President Trump and
Speaker 1: Republicans need to focus on home. Thanks. I love the show.
Speaker 1: I listened to you on my last walk of the day.
Speaker 1: I love that. So I'm going to read you something.
Speaker 1: This came out from Fortune magazine. And this is something
Speaker 1: that both parties are slowly becoming aware of. But the
Speaker 1: political party who figures out how to fix this, and
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about fixing it in a moment,
Speaker 1: the political party who figures out how to fix this
Speaker 1: is going to be the political party that dominates American
Speaker 1: leadership for years and years and years. Here it is.
Speaker 1: This is from Fortune magazine. Fifteen million more adults under
Speaker 1: the age of thirty five are living with their parents
Speaker 1: compared to a decade ago, fifteen million. Compared to twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: there are fifteen million more Americans living with their parents.
Speaker 1: Now you me, we could sit down over some cheddar
Speaker 1: Bay biscuits and we can argue or just discuss all
Speaker 1: night long the reasons for that. We could talk about that,
Speaker 1: there's no question. But here's the truth. That situation has
Speaker 1: to change. You know what. You know what, In fact,
Speaker 1: let's pause on that for a second. Let's go historically.
Speaker 1: Do you know what spells impending doom for any and
Speaker 1: every society historically? Doom? It is it is the death
Speaker 1: of every society. You know, one of the main things
Speaker 1: if you have a large percentage of disaffected young men
Speaker 1: young men are aspirational, they are full of testosterone. They
Speaker 1: want a goal in life, and I know women are
Speaker 1: the same way. I'm just discussing a historical trend. Young
Speaker 1: Men need something to strive for, They need to believe
Speaker 1: it's attainable, something to fight for. And if you ever
Speaker 1: find a place where your society has a bunch of
Speaker 1: young men who feel like society has left them, maybe
Speaker 1: they're listless, maybe they feel like things are hopeless, your
Speaker 1: society is in for huge, huge problems. So let's expand
Speaker 1: that and go back to what we were just talking about.
Speaker 1: We have legions, in legions and legions of young people
Speaker 1: now living with their parents because they can't find a
Speaker 1: good job, because inflation has gotten so bad. They can't
Speaker 1: even afford an apartment. You most definitely can't afford a mortgage.
Speaker 1: The home affordability is in the toilet. This situation cannot
Speaker 1: continue or we're going to have big, big, big problems.
Speaker 1: And this situation is also intentional. Keep in mind, do
Speaker 1: not lose sight of the fact that the mass importation
Speaker 1: of foreigners to crowd Americans out of jobs, to make
Speaker 1: life more unaffordable for Americans, that has been intentional The
Speaker 1: entire idea behind it was taking America away from Americans.
Speaker 1: And the point of that, of course, is, well, foreigners
Speaker 1: aren't going to stress about such things. Does it even
Speaker 1: mean they're bad? By the way, when I speak about
Speaker 1: foreign is they just they don't know anything about the
Speaker 1: Constitution or freedom, or they don't care about that. They're
Speaker 1: not tied to your history, your community, not tied to
Speaker 1: that at all. You bring them in, give them some
Speaker 1: free housing, give them some free groceries. They think you're
Speaker 1: all right? Why is life so much more affordable for Americans?
Speaker 1: Let's let AOC take it away.
Speaker 2: Just in this.
Speaker 3: Slice of New York City alone, we represent over one
Speaker 3: hundred languages and cultures. We welcome people of all religions, faiths,
Speaker 3: and creeds. We honor all genders, races, orientations.
Speaker 1: And status.
Speaker 3: And here we defend immigrants.
Speaker 1: Americans are sitting around living with their parents at thirty
Speaker 1: years old, no house, no job. You did everything right,
Speaker 1: you went to college, got a degree, and then you're
Speaker 1: watching your politicians get up and brag about how many
Speaker 1: languages languages are spoken in the area and how much
Speaker 1: they love immigrants. This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Americans are fed up and angry, and they have to
Speaker 1: be These concerns have to be addressed or people don't
Speaker 1: care about anything else, you know, speaking of historically, because
Speaker 1: I have this sick fascination with some of the worst
Speaker 1: parts of history, wars and famines and hurricanes and floods,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm probably similar to you, and that maybe
Speaker 1: because of that, you know, I want to know what's wild,
Speaker 1: how selfish people become when they're starving. The most wonderful,
Speaker 1: god fearing, kindest person in the world, we will reach
Speaker 1: down and rip a loaf of bread out of a
Speaker 1: two year old's hands when they're hungry enough. The American
Speaker 1: citizen has watched his country become unable, unaffordable, and the
Speaker 1: American dream become unattainable as we've brought in fifty sixty
Speaker 1: million foreigners into the country, and they don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about Venezuela. They just don't care. They don't they
Speaker 1: don't care. We have to address it.
Speaker 4: It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Thursday.
Speaker 4: Remember if you missed any part of the show, you
Speaker 4: can download the whole thing. iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. Jesse The conquer.
Speaker 4: We were antelope hunting, listening to your plan to conquer
Speaker 4: the Western hemisphere. When my boy asked what was the
Speaker 4: most lopsided modern invasion, I considered Poland in France, but
Speaker 4: I actually believe it was Iraq in two thousand and three.
Speaker 4: I know the occupation went badly, but the invasion itself
Speaker 4: was the masterclass in combined arms. All right, One, your
Speaker 4: kids sounds freaking awesome.
Speaker 1: Two. Ah, I'm certainly not going to put down the
Speaker 1: invasion I was part of. I believe me. I wasn't
Speaker 1: an important part of it. It was just one thumb grunt,
Speaker 1: all right. But I don't know if I don't know
Speaker 1: if this counts because it was such a mismatch. Is
Speaker 1: the thing these tyrants, historically, these tyrants, especially from countries
Speaker 1: like this, what they are that there's a huge difference
Speaker 1: between mean and tough, mean and tough. These tyrants are
Speaker 1: generally mean. So if this tribe or this village is
Speaker 1: getting out of line, oh, they'll go drop a chemical
Speaker 1: weapon on it, maybe show up, grab the mayor and
Speaker 1: pull his fingernails out in front of the whole town
Speaker 1: and shoot him in the head. But does that make
Speaker 1: you tough. You showed up with all the guns, they
Speaker 1: didn't have any. You pulled his fingernails that you're not
Speaker 1: a tough guy. You'r mean it's evil. So what happens
Speaker 1: is these countries they run into a technologically advanced military
Speaker 1: power that is tough, and they just get smashed immediately.
Speaker 1: Iraqi culture, and from my experience with it, is unbelievably soft.
Speaker 1: When we would run into dudes, whether they be in
Speaker 1: uniform or out of uniform, whatever, it was just kind
Speaker 1: of pudgy and soft. Americans I don't think understand in
Speaker 1: a preciate how good American military training is and how
Speaker 1: much more manly American culture is than a lot of
Speaker 1: foreign cultures. Maybe you don't consider yourself military ready or
Speaker 1: something like that. No, you just you played basketball for
Speaker 1: ten years. Ah, I used to play football in high school,
Speaker 1: but you haven't done that in ten years or so.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're a little flabby around the midsection. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you don't understand you are more military ready than so
Speaker 1: many societies around the globe. This was a long way
Speaker 1: of saying, I don't necessarily think that invasion should count
Speaker 1: in your question, because they just weren't ready. They just
Speaker 1: absolutely were not ready. The casualties we took in Iraq
Speaker 1: in large party, and I know there were some and
Speaker 1: we were fighting, I got that, But the casualties we
Speaker 1: took in large part were again not from tough guys,
Speaker 1: from terrorists who slipped across the border after the invasion
Speaker 1: and started setting off bombs and blowing things up. And
Speaker 1: I know they put up a fight in places like Felujah,
Speaker 1: where it was a lot of urban fighting. It was brutal.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not denying that, but that wasn't necessarily Iraqi culture.
Speaker 1: That was a lot of Islamic terrorist culture. The Iraqi culture,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say the invasion of France.
Speaker 1: I would say the invasion of France. Most people do
Speaker 1: not fully understand and appreciate this, And you don't understand
Speaker 1: and appreciate it because the Nazis are freaking the spawn
Speaker 1: of Satan, so nobody wants to ever pay any compliments
Speaker 1: to the Nazi army or Hitler or something like that.
Speaker 1: But on paper, France not that they should have held
Speaker 1: their own against Germany. They should have beaten Germany by
Speaker 1: any metric. If you look at the number of troops
Speaker 1: and tanks and things like that. And they were on
Speaker 1: the defense, not the offense. It's easier to be on
Speaker 1: the defense than the offense because you're fighting in your
Speaker 1: home territory, territory, you know your fortifications, your supplies. It
Speaker 1: was considered by many of Hitler's generals to be borderline
Speaker 1: suicidal to invade France. Hitler got nos. It was an
Speaker 1: all powerful dictator, so you couldn't go too far if
Speaker 1: you were a general, but about as much pushback as
Speaker 1: you could possibly get. That's how much Hitler got from
Speaker 1: his generals. When he said we're going into France. They said,
Speaker 1: uh what, No, Look, okay, we can beat up Belgium.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll give you a poll, and they're not quite
Speaker 1: a France. Then we can't match France. What Chris Chris said,
Speaker 1: wasn't that part of the schleief In plan. The Schleefan
Speaker 1: plan was World War One, buddy. I'm actually glad you
Speaker 1: pay attention. I'm quite impressed. But yes, no, in all seriousness,
Speaker 1: Hitler's invasion of France and World War Two was almost
Speaker 1: kind of a continuation of the schleif And plan. You
Speaker 1: push forward, smashed through France as fast as possible, so
Speaker 1: you're not necessarily wrong. But the shleif and plan was
Speaker 1: World War One. That's where they implemented the sleeve and plan. Anyway,
Speaker 1: world War two France should have won, at least on paper,
Speaker 1: they should have won. But okay, you give them that
Speaker 1: they were caught flat footed. They were broken down after
Speaker 1: World War One, but to fall that quickly is insane.
Speaker 1: And yes, obviously the German war machine was very, very impressive,
Speaker 1: especially at that time before they were starving, before they
Speaker 1: started running out of stuff, before we started starving them
Speaker 1: of resources. Really it was the invasion of Russia that
Speaker 1: doomed them. But that was absurdly lopsided for what should
Speaker 1: have been pretty equal. That's all Lee Frasier. In boxing,
Speaker 1: everyone knows all the Ali Fraser and they went to
Speaker 1: war three times. They have to go to the hospital.
Speaker 1: They just went to war three times. And there were
Speaker 1: both these gigantic stud monsters. It would be like Ali
Speaker 1: fighting Fraser and just knocking him out in the first round.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't happen. Even if he loses. Okay, I understand
Speaker 1: he might lose. Muhammad Ali is a really great fighter.
Speaker 1: He might lose but you're not gonna knock out Joe
Speaker 1: Fraser in the first round. It would be like Ali
Speaker 1: coming out and just storming through him in round one.
Speaker 1: Really really lopsided, but not examined a lot because the
Speaker 1: second you start touching on you suit of subjects. Ah,
Speaker 1: you praising hit there. You know what kind of Namby
Speaker 1: Pamby's sensitive society we have? Now all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about arctic frost. Why don't take
Speaker 1: phone calls? We have so much to get to and
Speaker 1: giving away free stuff
