They want this to happen. Well, 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.160 what do we do then? What can we do? We'll 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:24.520 talk about that we can do this. It's gonna take 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.360 some time, but we can do this.

It is time for Medal of 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.800 Honor Monday, where we take somebody's Medal of Honor citation 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.319 and we just read it. It's it.

This guy actually said, Hey, Jesse, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.959 can you read the Medal of Honor citation for a 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.520 Raymond Zusman. I think it's amazing how he was able 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.840 to do so much with very little ammunition and men 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.600 much thanks and God bless So what did mister Zussman do? 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.520 Raymond Zussman of Hamtrack, Michigan, let's find out shall. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:57.720 Write, Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:04.880 Medal of Honor Monday. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.840 On the twelfth of September nineteen forty four, Second Lieutenant 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.079 Zussmann was in command of two tanks operating with an 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.200 infantry company in the attack on enemy forces occupying the 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.080 town of noroy Leburg, France, at seven o'clock PM. His 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:27.040 command tank bogged down. Throughout the ensuing action, armed with 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.760 only a carbine, he reconnoitered alone on foot, far in 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.800 advance of his remaining tank in the infantry, returning only 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.520 from time to time to designate targets. He directed the 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.640 action of the tank and turned over to the infantry 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.120 the numerous German soldiers he had caused to surrender. He 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.200 located a roadblock and directed his tanks to destroy it. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.280 Fully exposed to fire from enemy positions only fifty yards distant, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.400 he stood by his tank, directing its fire. Three Germans 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.440 were killed, eight surrendered. Again, he walked before his tank, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.399 leading it against an enemy held group of houses machine 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.840 gun and small arms fire, kicking up dust at his feet. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.920 The tank fire broke the resistance in twenty enemies surrendered. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.480 Going forward again alone, he passed an enemy occupied house, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.639 from which Germans fired on him and threw grenades in 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.640 his path. After a brief firefight, he signaled his tank 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.760 to come up and fire on the house. Eleven German 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:35.880 soldiers were killed and fifteen surrendered. Going on alone, he 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.160 disappeared around a street corner, the fire of his car 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.360 being could be heard, and in a few minutes he reappeared, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.760 driving thirty prisoners before him. Under Second Lieutenant Zuspin's heroic 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:53.040 and inspiring leadership, eighteen enemy soldiers were killed and ninety 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:59.960 two captured. Not a bad day, huh, Not a bad day. Now, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.119 let's get back to the task at hand. I don't 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.680 want to live in this kind of country, political assassinations 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.880 and violence all the time. I want the communists to stop. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.640 I want there to be peace. But how do we 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.960 get that? How do we get that? Well, let me 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.120 use a couple examples here. You remember our Rhodesian history segment, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.240 don't forget histories. Coming back May fourth our Rhodesian history segment, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.000 and we talked about how these communist groups were pouring 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.920 into Rhodesia from the surrounding countries. Okay, you can arrest them, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.640 you can go out and kill them, and they did, 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.279 but they just kept coming, and they just kept coming, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.240 like there were endless amounts of them. What do you do? 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.640 Why were they still coming? That's the best question. Why 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:58.719 so many coming? Because they were funded and trained by 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:04.800 large nations state like China in the Soviet Union, Nation 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.960 States were funding and training all these communists. So the 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.160 Rhodesians are killing them as fast as they can kill them, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:18.320 but there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of them. Okay, 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:24.360 Paul's on that for a moment. Let's talk about crime, 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.679 drug dealing. If you will, picture a major American city. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.599 There's some gang banger on the block and he's selling crack. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.159 Not ideal, I think you would agree, probably not great. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:41.320 Now you want that to stop, okay, but you go 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.120 put handcuffs on that drug dealer and you throw them 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.320 in jail. And the next day there's a different guy 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.359 standing on the street corner with a bag of crack 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.640 selling it, and you can arrest that guy and throw 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.479 him in jail. But then the next day there's another 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.280 guy in the street corner with a bag of crack 0:05:55.400 --> 0:06:01.560 selling it. What's going on here? Well, that guy standing 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.039 on the street corner with a bag of crack, he 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.760 doesn't have any actual power. Really, maybe he has a gun. 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.560 I'm sure he's violent, probably stupid, but why see actually 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.920 there he's there because in all likelihood, his gang of 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.000 hoodlums who live on that block, they were hired by 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.760 a middle management type in a large criminal organization, could 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.080 be the Italian mafia cartel, mixture of the two. You 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.480 see some middle manager based here in America. He wants 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.440 to move a lot more crack and make a lot 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.000 more money through the streets of let's call it Chicago. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.159 So he goes and finds a bunch of young, stupid 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.920 idiots and hands them bags a crack and says, I'll 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.960 give you a little cut, go sell my crack. Okay, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.520 But even then, if you if you travel all the 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.000 way up the chain to the middle management guy, what 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.960 if you just throw handcuffs on him and send him, well, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.560 then you have to climb further up the chain until 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.400 you get to the man or the men who have 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.240 the plan, and they're hiring the right people to carry 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.840 out the plan. I'm mister crime lord, and my plan 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.080 is to make a lot of money. How am I 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.600 going to make money? I'm gonna make crack. I'm gonna 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.720 make tons and tons of crack, and then I'm gonna 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.640 hire a bunch of violent, scummy losers to distribute my 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:29.120 said crack, and eventually enough money will be flowing up 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.720 into my coffers that I'll be flying private jets and 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.960 living in mansions all over the world. If you really 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.800 want to stop the guy on the street corner with 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.120 a bag of crack in his pocket, you don't just 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.040 throw him in jail. You must go to the institutions 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:56.000 who create people like him. You must go after the institutions. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.960 The poor Rhodesians were never going to win the road 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.080 Dejian Bush War once the American West cut them off 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.640 from resources, not because they weren't brave enough. They were 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.760 so brave, not because they weren't good fighters. They were 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.520 amazing fighters. Not because they didn't have a great country. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.480 And the right idea is they had a wonderful country. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.240 They were always going to lose because it doesn't matter 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.640 how many Kami street animals you butcher out in the 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:30.840 Rhodesian Bush, the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.199 they will always find new recruits and write new checks 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.160 and send a new group of a thousand of them 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:44.560 into your country to rape and terrorize in murder. Unless 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.800 you can travel up that chain and get to the 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:54.120 institutions who create the communists, all else is just noise. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:09:01.400 It is all else. To be honest with you, it's 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.280 just a coping mechanism. That's all it is. You're trying 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.600 to convince yourself that if we just arrest this this 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.440 street animal, you know what should do. Maybe you've even 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.560 said something violent in the past twenty four to forty 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.400 eight hours. I think we should try him tomorrow and 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:22.800 then skin him alive on national television. Okay, I applaud 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:28.120 your vigor. It would work. It just wouldn't work. Why 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:34.200 wouldn't it work Because America has institutions, some foreign funded, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:39.680 some domestic funded. They have communist run institutions, we should say, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:44.520 have communist run institutions in this country, and they produce 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:50.760 another thousand assassins a year, I should say, would be assassins. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:55.600 There's an assassin factory of institutions in this country. If 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.440 the factory stays running, this will never stop. What's the 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.200 biggest factory. We'll talk about that next. It is the 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:08.200 Jesse Kelly Show. On a Magnificent Monday. We had Medal 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.480 of Honor Monday. We're gonna get to emails. We have 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.079 John Conrad coming up ten minutes from now. By the way, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.319 you can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.920 Your love, your hate, your death, threats. I am going 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.600 to tackle your emails about everything from this shooting to 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.040 other things. People have questions about the security, How could 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.319 this have happened, And I'm gonna lay that out. I'm 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.880 gonna lay out, frankly, what happened, because I can tell 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.040 you exactly what happened. What were our failures, what were 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.240 our successes? If we're failing, why are we failing? We're 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.000 gonna talk about that, and that is something very important 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.560 to me because, as I mentioned at the beginning of 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.280 the show, I know it's ugly to think about, but 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.240 this culture of assassination we live in is not going 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.120 anywhere anytime soon. We have a lot of work to 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.720 do to make it go away. And so our next guy, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.199 I'm assuming it's Jdvance, but who knows who it is. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.520 The next guy is already in mortal danger. I told you, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.280 I told you a long time before that shot rang 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.160 out in Butler that they were going to kill Donald Trump. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.560 I warned you that they were, and then he got 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.160 shot in the head. By the grace of God, he 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.720 turned his head at the right time. I told you 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:22.200 it was coming, and I'm telling you right now there 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.640 is going to be a very credible assassination attempt on 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.240 the vice president of the United States. Over the next 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.680 few years, there's no question, certainly as he ramps up 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.120 his run for the presidency, whether it will be successful 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.400 or not. Gosh, I hope not, but it's coming. I 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.000 guarantee you it's coming, probably more than one. Now. I 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.400 want that to stop. I want to go back to 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.280 living in a normal country where communists don't kill the 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.400 people they disagree with. So we have to go to 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.080 the root of the problem. The root of the problem 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.360 is the institutions. I'm going to read something for you. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.240 Credit to Rob Henderson. He's the one who pulled out 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:05.360 the chart. Relative to Americans with high school education, Americans 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:11.160 with graduate degrees are twice as likely to support political violence. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:17.520 More education equals higher support for political violence. And there's 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:23.120 a chart here showing a staggering, staggering thing something we 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.640 talked about before. To break it down simply, the longer 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.839 you spend on a college campus, the more violent, demonic, 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.360 and communist you will become. If you just step foot 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.960 on there for half a second, it probably won't be bad. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.520 You checked in and out for a year, maybe you 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.960 get by you go all the way to a bachelor's degree. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.320 Getting dicey, hope you pack up your stuff and leave. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.960 You start sticking around for master's degrees and PhDs. You'll 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:57.240 be polepot before you know it. Here's a headline cal Tech. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.720 You know that's where this would be Assassin went. Cal 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:05.080 Tech's probe into its racist pass isn't working. This is 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.560 an LA Times article that I will not go into. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.400 Kyle Tech is supposed to be one of these engineering 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.520 super schools, very difficult to get into. This guy, this 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.320 would be Assassin, probably had a very high IQ and 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.400 then he got into this prestigious school, cal Tech. Why 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.240 would a guy like this grab a shotgun and hop 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.640 on the train from LA to drive clear to Washington, DC. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.920 And now he is a man. I don't know exactly 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.560 how old he is, but he is a man who 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:42.280 will probably die in prison one day, old wrinkled. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.600 No more California, no more freedom, no more sunny beaches, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:52.920 no more esteak dinners. It's federal penitentiary time pow where 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.439 you better shower. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.720 With two eyes in the back of your head for 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.800 the rest of your life. Life. Why in the world, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.240 why in the world would he do that? Why would 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:14.720 he risk that because the university system in this country 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:21.640 trains communists foot soldiers to kill people, it just does. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.800 We are going to have to start burning down the 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.240 American university system legally. By the way, legally, I don't 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.880 want you to do anything of legal. Please don't go 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.600 physically burn anything down. We are going to have to 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:40.120 start not just stripping all funding from these universities, we 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.960 are going to have to start firing everybody and closing 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.920 the doors. I'm not even close to kidding. If you 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.680 want America to stop producing communist assassins, one of the 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:56.160 key institutions, one of the key assassin factories in this 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:01.600 country is America's university system. And we could go deeper 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.800 than that, because there is more than that. Of course, 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.520 the media institution, We could of course go to k 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.239 through twelve schools, even the companies who make the textbooks. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.000 All these things are extremely valid targets. But what we 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:19.320 have to start prioritizing is the institutions themselves. It's not 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.720 enough to shoot the plane out of the sky. What 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.920 you need to do is get your butt down to 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.960 the plane factory and bomb it to smitherings. Then it 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.600 will stop producing the planes and you don't have to 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.480 shoot them out of the sky. We are asking all 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.160 these questions right now, and we're asking the wrong ones. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.680 But if we get a new White House ballroom it 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.200 has bulletproof class can we stop this in the future. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.840 I mean, I'm all for it, build the ballroom, put 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.760 in the bulletproof glass. But when you're at the place 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.960 where you have to put heads of state behind bulletproof glass, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.480 when they give a twenty minute speech at a college campus, 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.200 that's not a healthy place. And the solution cannot be 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.160 more bulletproof glass. You have to find a way to 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.560 smash the communist movement into a fine powder, and you 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:11.000 do that by the complete dismantling and destruction of communist 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:16.720 universities in this country. We have to go after the 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:21.840 institutions themselves. Throwing another street animal in prison is not 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.320 near enough, because there's another ten of them waiting with 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.280 weapons to kill you and me in Whoever the next 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:33.280 Republican nominee is the institutions that produce them must be 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:34.320 ground to powder. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.200 Period. We talk to John Conrad next. It is the 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.960 Jesse Kelly Shall in a Wonderful Monday. It's been an 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.520 amazing Monday and It's time to get smarter about shipping 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.960 things because that's kind of a fairly important industry which 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.320 is being revealed more and more every day. We have 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.400 blockades and everything else. I'm gonna know what's happening out there. 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.680 So joining me now is he has many times before. 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:07.760 John Conrad, Merchant, Marine Captain, author, Okay, John, I'm shipping. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.760 We know that there's currently a blockade on the Straight 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.359 of hor Moves. How is that affecting or is it 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.920 affecting things worldwide on the high seas. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:20.280 Well? 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.399 You've already always been ahead of this curve by meon 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:28.359 and guys like Ross Kennedy. I appreciate that it's working 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.600 its way through the system. It's not this apocalyptic. If 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.639 you read the news in Europe, they say it's this 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.960 apocalyptic problem. It hasn't been that. You know, Shipping is 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.400 very elastic. Things can move around, we get new ships. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.640 But it is definitely putting a strain on the system. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.200 The bigger problem is going back to the poor congestion 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.840 crisis in twenty twenty, after COVID to the Panama Canal, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.840 drought to the Red Sea and the hoo Thi's there 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.399 to now this it's just increasing stress on the system. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:08.399 And this is all participating in global inflation. You know, 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.640 if everything takes longer to get shipped, if you need 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.679 more inventory, prices are going to go up. So I 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.440 think that's the main effect. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.440 Okay, pause, Sorry, I'm going to ask you a bunch 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.720 of nerdy details because I want to get smarter tonight 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.480 and then rub it in all my friends faces. Panama 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.560 Panama Canal drought one. Why is this whole canal important anyway? 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.520 To what drought? What are you talking about? 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.679 Well, the Panama Canal is the most important canal for 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.760 the US Navy because without the Panama Canal we have 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.440 half our fleet in Norfolk and half in San Diego. 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.399 And if something, you know, war breaks down in China, 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.560 you'd have to go all the way around Argentina or 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.760 South Africa. South Africa has not been good friends lately. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.960 They've been inviting Chinese and Russian in. We have a 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.840 better relationship with Argentina. But that's a lot of time 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.520 to get the navy all the way around there, and 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.920 the weather's horrible. The drought was two years ago. They 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.840 ran out of water. They built a second canal that's bigger, 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:09.640 next to the original canal, and it uses a lot 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.520 of water. They collect the water in this lake and 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:17.000 then the water flushes out on each ship transit into 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.480 the Pacific or Atlantic, depending which way you're going. Well, 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.920 there's a limited amount of water. If it doesn't rain, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.280 you can't transit, So they had to limit the transits 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.560 going through. This led all the way up to the 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.000 beginning of the administration. Rubio and Pete Hegseth went down 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:39.320 there and you know, tried to negotiate this, you know, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.600 favorable term, saying, hey, the US needs to be able 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.919 to secure it. We want free transit for US flag 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.280 vessels and a few other priority for US ships because 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:56.399 when there's a drought they start auctioning off. And there's 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.400 some indication that they've allowed US to have some security 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.960 forces down on there, oh and kicking the Chinese out 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.159 of the port. They own the two ports, but the 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:08.200 other ones have kind of installed they're still charging US ships. 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.239 Okay, so let's go back over to the Strait of 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.040 horror moves before we talk about some shakeups in the 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:19.000 navy and things like that. People are confused about how 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.879 we can wipe their navy off. The high seas with 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:26.159 such ease, and yet things are not flowing. What is 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:27.160 happening and why? 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.440 Well, I at the very beginning was very anti war. 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.760 I think a lot of us were anti war. And 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:38.000 there were some initial casualties. But if you know, to 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.080 get to this point where we are now, I was 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:44.080 anticipating two thousand casualties. We haven't come close to that number. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.600 And now what we see is the President doesn't want 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.800 any more casualties. Pete Hegset doesn't want anymore. The Navy 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.760 doesn't want any more. So we're starting to, you know, 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.000 send We just sent some two destroyers in for the 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.280 first time last week. We're darning could do a little 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:05.080 bit of mind clearing. But they're taking their sweet time, Jesse, 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.080 And they're taking their sweet time because I Ran can't 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:13.439 be trusted and they we don't use the uh, you know, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.320 we don't. We make our we have our own oil. 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.400 We use some oil from the Middle East, but it's 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.959 not critical to us like it is in Europe. So 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.760 they don't want to put the Navy, Marines, Army in 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:30.040 harms way. They'd rather take their time and do this slowly. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.280 Okay, So you said in harm's way for the normal 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.320 person who doesn't understand this. What could harm us? At 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.680 least our navy ships? We wipe their air force out, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.439 we wipe out their navy. What can hurt us? Did 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:46.200 he round has? 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:52.240 You're right, we did a fantastic job operationally. But it's 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.600 an insurgency, right, So these the Straight of Horn News 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:57.919 is a big U. And one side of that U 0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:59.920 is Iran. And there are a lot of places that 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.520 you could hide drones, hide missiles, hide these speedboats. We 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.000 see them, you know, launching these Boston whalers, and you 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.679 could put some minds in it. There already might be 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.040 minds in the Strait of hor Moves. So the real 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.840 way that you would secure a street like that, and 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.400 say this was a war against China and you absolutely 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.800 had to secure the Straight is you would send the 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.640 Marines boots on the ground. Maybe not a long term 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.280 mission like months, but you would at least surge them 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.520 in for a week or two in order to check 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.040 the basements and clear out the drones and destroy the 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:35.280 Boston whalers. We don't even seem willing to do that. 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.080 So we're taking a very cautious approach here. 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:42.320 Okay, So we're taking a cautious approach. I understand that 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.760 the Trump administration doesn't want soldiers to die, certainly doesn't 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.840 want more bad head minds. I understand all that, but 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:54.840 that clearly is going to extend the timeline somewhat correct. 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.760 I mean, I realize Iran is hurting, but significantly, go ahead, 0:22:58.800 --> 0:22:59.679 go ahead, please. 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:06.040 It's extending the timeline significantly. We probably could have. You know, 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.639 some ships were going through because I Ran much charging 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.399 them this toll a few weeks ago. That has gone 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.040 down because we've instituted a blockaded. We told people you can't, 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:20.359 you can't pay Iran to go through. I Ran clear 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.560 doesn't have minds on their side, so they were allowing this, 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:27.400 and we've put an end to that. So we're kind 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.920 of in a stalemate now. Iran, as blog says, they're 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:36.320 block heating friendly ships, and the US is blockading ships 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:41.080 that could be transporting missiles or other cargo oil that 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:46.000 benefits Iran. We're allowing humanitarians plus three, but not oil 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.560 or dangerous goods. 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:54.120 Okay, And you don't see an economic problem coming yet. 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.480 I know you indicated that we could be in store 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.200 for one, but as of now, we're holding okay. 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.000 But we're holding Okay, Europe's in bigger trouble. They're running 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:08.160 out a jet fuel. We've seen shortages in Australia, Korea, 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:13.600 other places are having this prom price of oil. Because California, 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.240 Gavin Newsom shut down so many refineries. The oil goes 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.480 from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to South 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:24.439 Korea and then gets brought back to California to supply 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:28.280 the cars. Well, because all the ships are moving around 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.800 trying to get oil from other places, we don't have 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.399 extra tankers. So to get that tanker you got to 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.439 spend a lot more money. So the price of gasoline 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.480 I was just in California, it was like seven dollars 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.000
