The week is 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: over and it is smooth sailing from here. Now we 4 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: have an enormous show for you tonight. I want you 5 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: to think. Just close your eyes unless you're driving right now, 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: and think about the feminist in your life. Tonight's show 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: is bigger than she is. They ask Doctor Jesse Friday 8 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: questions are the greatest we have ever had. And no, 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't say that every Friday. Some Fridays are good, 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: sum are great, summer average. I mean, we have questions 11 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: about the Olympics, Ewo Jima, Vietnamese general and the Vietnam 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: Vietnam War general Gep someone as a Black Lives Matter 13 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: flag waving. Can we actually get out of this political 14 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: situation we're in without violence? All that so much more, 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: even deporting your ex wife. Oh, that is coming up 16 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: tonight on the World of Famous Jesse Kelly's Show. But 17 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: we have to do something that I think is important. Obviously, 18 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: the show is not important. It's just a radio show. 19 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm not an important person. I don't have an important job. 20 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: My job is to make your day a little bit 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: better for fifteen minutes or three hours, however long I 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: have you. That's it. You probably have an important job. 23 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: I do not, But every now and then I think 24 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: it's important that we stop and attempt to do something 25 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: meaningful on the show, something that has very deep meaning 26 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: to me and very deep meaning hopefully to you. Before 27 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I get into anything else, I'm gonna play something for you, 28 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't ever underestimate this, the power of music. 29 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: God gave us music. Did you know that? Do you 30 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: remember that story the Old Testament? Chris? You probably remember 31 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: King Saw when he was ravaged by evil spirits? How 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: did he calm things down? Music? Maybe right now you're 33 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: going through it in your life. Maybe it's great times, 34 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's bad times. I don't. I don't know, but 35 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: I thought it would. I just thought it would. I 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: thought it would make your day a lot better if 37 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: we played some powerful, powerful music for you on the show. 38 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: So before we start, I just want you to sit 39 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: back and take this in. 40 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: I thought, invite our neighbors, and we're gonna heal this 41 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: world with loud. 42 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Tear down the fences. I can't take these were such nutballs. 43 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: They really are just theater kids all the theater. Kids 44 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: grew up and they didn't get efficiently bullied in school, 45 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: and now we have to deal with these people. They 46 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: do this stuff all the time. Hey, drop, where you 47 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: going with that gun in your hands? 48 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: We will over, we will I can't. 49 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I have to stop. I have to stop them crying. 50 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, quit, We're gonna focus focus. Y See, Conservatives 51 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: have failed to take back the leadership of the Republican 52 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: Party for over one hundred and twenty years. During that time, 53 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: communists have succeeded in taking control of all the cultural institutions. 54 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Time appears to be on their side. Once communism is 55 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: established in a nation, can you set an example of 56 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: the nation voting its way out? What are your thoughts? Okay, 57 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: so I do want to address this. You say Conservatives 58 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: have failed to take back the leadership of the Republican 59 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: Party for over one hundred and twenty years, and I 60 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: would argue that's that's not true. I know there are 61 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of Republican leaders in the low TGOPO who 62 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: are too weak, who you despise. But you know all 63 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: the Republican leadership, you know they all hated Ronald Reagan, right, 64 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: I know that none of them will admit that now. 65 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Nobody why Because Ronald Reagan got elected and was a 66 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: two term president and was well thought of by the people. 67 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: And so every single dirty snake Republican in leadership who 68 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: tried to torpedo his nomination and keep him out of 69 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: the White House, every one of them now and they're 70 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: much older age. They all talk about how much they 71 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: love Reagan, and Reagan loved me and look at me 72 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: and took a picture with Reagan one time. Ronald Reagan 73 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: was a political outsider Donald Trump. Maybe you don't like 74 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. That's fine, I don't care, doesn't matter. It 75 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. I'm not friends with him, doesn't bother me. 76 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: Maybe he does things that get under your skin, totally fine, 77 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: I get it. But do you really understand how much 78 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: those people in Washington, d C. I'm talking about establishment Republicans. 79 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Do you understand how much they hate him? He's the president. 80 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time he ran in his 81 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: first primary? Do you remember who they wanted the establishment? 82 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: They wanted Jeb Bush. And not only did they want 83 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush was the had a great reputation 84 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: as the governor of Florida. He comes from political royalty. 85 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: Obviously the Bush family and had a brinch truck of money. 86 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: Everything was set up for Jeb Bush to be the nominee. 87 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: Jeb Bush got imbarrassed, embarrassed to such a degree that 88 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: to this day Jeb Bush is a punchline. And if 89 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: you're pretty new to politics, or maybe you're a little 90 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: bit forgetful, you forget that there was a time when 91 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: Jeb Bush was a powerbroker in the Republican Party. Now 92 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: people laugh at him. Donald Trump wasn't supposed to win 93 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: that primary. Donald Trump had no chance. He's too crass, 94 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: he's too he's been married three times. He's not a 95 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: traditional conservative, he's Do you know how many establishment swamp 96 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: rat Republican types have retired in recent years and how 97 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: many are about to retire? You and I we rage 98 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: against dorks like Tom Tillis, the Senator from North Carolina. 99 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: All the time, he sucks, He sucks every day. He 100 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: has a new anti Trump, anti youth thing out there. 101 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: Every day he says something stupid. Tom Tillis is retiring. Why, 102 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: Because Tom Tillis can see the writing on the wall. 103 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how the Texas Senate primary is going 104 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: to turn out between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. I 105 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: have no earthly idea, but I have yet to see 106 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: a poll that shows John Cornyn within sniffing distance of 107 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton. Do you understand how powerful John Cornyn is. 108 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: John Cornyn has full time security because he has reached 109 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: such a level of leadership in the Republican Party in Washington, 110 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: d C. I despise him, but John Cornyn is an 111 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: absurdly powerful man. With a word, John Cornyn can move 112 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: mountains of money two or away from your cause. John 113 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Cornyn is courted by all the dirty lobbyists in Washington, 114 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: d C. John Cornyan is a mini king. And again, 115 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of myself. There's a 116 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: lot of work to do, There's a lot of time left. 117 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: But John Cornyn probably loses a primary this year. I 118 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: don't think it's fair or accurate to say we you 119 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: and I have never changed the leadership of the Republican Party. 120 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: What I think is fair and accurate are two things. 121 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: First thing, we discussed this a little bit last night. 122 00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Change Political change comes very very Slowlyeople who love and 123 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: read history, you know you'll read seven years of political activism. 124 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: It'll be three pages in a book, so it seems fast. 125 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: In a movie, it's a cutscene. This ten years years. 126 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: It takes years. Political change takes years. That's one and two. 127 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: Up until recent years when the Communists really lost their 128 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: minds and started waking up all the norms and normas 129 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: out there. Up until recent years, the GOP did not 130 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: participate in anything outside of presidential politics. We wouldn't vote 131 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: in primaries, we wouldn't vote in regular elections, we wouldn't 132 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: get involved in off few elections special elections the Communists 133 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: did every single time, every single time. I'll repeat the 134 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: number again. Now this number is improving, so I'm not 135 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: trying to dishearten you. Do you know why the Democrat 136 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: Party has gone communist and the Republican Party hasn't moved 137 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,239 Speaker 1: as far to the right Because fifty percent of registered 138 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: Democrats vote in their primary. Half they'll show up at 139 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: the primary. The Republican number half that. That's just a 140 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: national average, but half that. They are twice as invested 141 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: in their primaries as we are. They have been. We're 142 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: getting better, we are making changes. We are Will it 143 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: happen in time, I don't know, But let's give ourselves 144 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of credit, shall we, Hey, Jesse, I 145 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: won't give my name because I won have a neighbor 146 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: with a gay flag, and two have another neighbor with 147 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter sign in their front yard. In 148 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: three a Jewish neighbor with whom I was discussing cars, 149 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: I suggested he buy a Tesla, and he replied with 150 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: a Nazi salute jeez, and went on to explain what 151 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: a horrible person Musk was and how bad his cars 152 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: were built. Last year he was telling me how wonderful 153 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: the cars were. Should I put a Trump sign in 154 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: my front lawn? Now this is one of those situations 155 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: where I don't feel comfortable giving advice. And I'll explain why. 156 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: You remember during COVID, with all the lies and propaganda 157 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: out there, everyone's gonna die. And then those, of course 158 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: all compounded into lies about the fake vaccine that wasn't 159 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: a vaccine at all. You have to get it. You 160 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: won't get it, Okay, If you get the vaccine, you 161 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: will get it, but not as bad. All right, you'll 162 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: get it as bad. You won't spread it, you will 163 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: spread it. It was all just one big lie. And 164 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: you remember how evil the country got at that moment, 165 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: how controlling an evil the country got, and it filtered 166 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: all the way down to employers. Corporations are oftentimes huge cowards. 167 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: They're just afraid. They operate out of fear, and companies 168 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: oftentimes run by some angry lesbian and HR started sorry, 169 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: Chris started making people take trying to make people take vaccines. Oh, 170 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: you have to take it. You have to take it, 171 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: or you're fired. I can't tell you how many emails 172 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: we got, Jesse, Should I take it? Jesse? What do 173 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: I do? Jesse? Should I take it? And what did 174 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: I tell you? Every single time? I can tell you 175 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: what I'm going to do, or more specifically, what I'm 176 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: not going to do. I can't tell you to lose 177 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: your job. I can't pay your bills. I can't tell 178 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: you I can't make that decision for you. That's not fair. 179 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: That's not fair of me to do to you. No 180 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: stand on principle, lose your job. Uh okay, Now you 181 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: gave that advice, and that guy took that advice, and 182 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: now he's out of work, and now they're on welfare. 183 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Now he moved back in with his mom. Now they 184 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: had to Oh, well, that's my fault. That's at least 185 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: partially my fault. I can't do that to you. You 186 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: have neighbors who are communists, Black Lives Matter, the gay flag, 187 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is a Nazi, all this other stuff. You 188 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: have neighbors who are communists, and you ask should you 189 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: put up a Trump flag a Trump sign in your 190 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: front yard? I would love to tell you yes, but 191 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: I think you have to understand two things. First, how 192 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: soul draining it is to have a bad neighbor. I 193 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: have had bad neighbors before. Because I've moved so many 194 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: different places, I've lived all over, I've had multiple bad neighbors. 195 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: It sucks, man, when your home stops becoming a place 196 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: of peace because of a neighbor. What it does is 197 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: it removes an outlet from your life. We all have 198 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: stresses in life. That's the way it is. Wife, husband, kids, 199 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: at school, church, work. If we all have things going 200 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: on in life, health struggles. To not have a place 201 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: where you can just rest from time to time, it sucks. 202 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: You have communists as neighbors. Let's do remember what a 203 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: communist actually is, right, they are anti humans. Let's say 204 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: you put that Trump sign in your front yard and 205 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm tempted to tell you to do it because I 206 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: think you should. But let's say you do. Let's say 207 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: you do that. What radical changes have you seen in 208 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: recent years with poll numbers in the Democrat Party and 209 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: what they think about you. Your neighbors think you're a Nazi. 210 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: Your neighbors think you should be deprogrammed. Your neighbors thought 211 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: during COVID that your kids should be taken away from 212 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: you if you have children. A large percentage of Democrats 213 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: think violence is an option in politics. Your neighbors during 214 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: COVID thought you should be ripped from your home and 215 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: place in a camp for not doing what you were told. 216 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: We need to be careful in life about stacking up enemies. 217 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: I warned you not to keep coming back to COVID. 218 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: That the person in your life who told you you 219 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: couldn't visit for Christmas that year because you hadn't been 220 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: boosted yet, that that went well beyond COVID, That whoever 221 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: that person was, coworker, mother, daughter, whoever it was, whoever 222 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: that person was, that's the person who's going to turn 223 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: you into the FEDS one day. That's the person, if 224 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: God forbid, the communist savages ever start going door to 225 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: door to round us up. That's the one who's going 226 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: to say, Oh, that's Bob with the Maga maga sign. 227 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: Where I know where he has a crawl space. I 228 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: know where he's hiding. Here, let me show you where 229 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: he's hiding. I think you should move. If I had 230 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: neighbors like that, I would sell my house and move. 231 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: And I'm not exaggerating. I refuse to live in that 232 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: environment anymore. There you go, all right, we'll talk Olympics, 233 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: talk about the Vietnam War. It is the Jesse Kelly 234 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: Joe on a Wonderful, Fantastic Friday and ask doctor Jesse Friday.

Hey, Jesse, did 240 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: you know the Olympics started? I couldn't care less. The 241 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: global elitist ruined it years ago. What's your stance on 242 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: the Olympics. Well, here's here's my stance on the Olympics. 243 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: It's it's very similar to my stance on sports, televised 244 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: sports in general. When I was a kid, we didn't 245 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: watch a ton of TV as a family, but the 246 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 1: times we did it was special to me because it 247 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: was family time. My dad traveled a lot for construction, 248 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: and so this was back when we had Blockbuster Video. 249 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: Remember Blockbuster Video. I've said, look, if you're young, we 250 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: used to have to go visit a store to rent 251 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: movies and take them home. I'm not trying to be 252 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: old fogy, but that's how it was. When we went 253 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: to Blockbuster Video. That was I mean, it's probably nothing 254 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: from my parents, it was everything to me. Everybody pick 255 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: out a movie, we'll rent a movie up, not that 256 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: when it's got bad scenes in it. Did you go 257 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: home and watch a movie that was special? The Olympics 258 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: were part of that for me. We weren't Olympics obsessed, 259 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 1: of course, but we would watch it and cheer. And 260 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: this was the era of Carl Lewis was breaking all 261 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: the track records and the gymnastics team. Do you u 262 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: I say gymnastics team. They were always America's sweethearts back then. 263 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what I was looking at you. 264 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: There was a bunch of Hey, I was a kid, right, 265 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm was ten years old, Hey, there are pretty girls 266 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: doing gymnastics. I didn't know what's going on, but still 267 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: I knew I was rooting for America. I was not 268 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: raised in a political household, but it was a super 269 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: America household. Now, we don't root for foreigners. My dad 270 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: America baby. So that's what it was. But some things 271 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: have happened over the years, and there's a couple different 272 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: parts to this. Our education system, as we discussed, so 273 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: much has gone so anti America, so communist. This obviously 274 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: has an effect on everyone who comes through it. Some 275 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: will come out stronger and better, but many will come 276 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: out and they will succumb to the anti America propaganda. 277 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Oftentimes not always. There are many athletes who are brilliant people, 278 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: but oftentimes athletes are stupid. They're really dumb people, just 279 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: very very dumb. Physically gifted, but their minds never developed 280 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: because they don't have to, and so they're just very 281 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: stupid and very susceptible to propaganda. And so they go 282 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: through the education system and they come out America hating Communists. Look, 283 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: I'll stay with gymnastics because it's a perfect example. Simone Biles. 284 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: Simone Biles, my wife is a gymnast, So she knows 285 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: all this stuff. And I mean elite level gymnast. My 286 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: wife will tell me all day long. Any gymnast I've 287 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: ever talked to will tell me this that there's never 288 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: been a gymnast who has ever walked who is as good, 289 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: even close to as good as Simone Biles. She does 290 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: things physically that are not possible for other gymnasts. She's 291 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: that good, she's that elite. But she's a moron, a 292 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: complete moron. She's a race communist. If you go look 293 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: at her public comments, she's a filthy communist. If she 294 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: never opened her stupid fat mouth, I would just I 295 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: would root her on because she's an American and she's 296 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: dominating and I love that. But she came up as 297 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: a communist, she learned from other communists. And now, and 298 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: this is the other part of it, due to social 299 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: media pressures. Now when you turn around, she's opening up 300 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: her stupid fat communist mouth and trashing Trump and trashing 301 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: the country and trash and trash and that, and so 302 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: turns me off. What am I gonna What am I 303 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: gonna do? Tune in and watch? Now? Am I supposed 304 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: to root for that? I don't give a crap about 305 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: Simone Biles. You don't give a crap about my country. 306 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: I don't give a crap about you. I hope you 307 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: follow in the Olympics. Means nothing to me. You're gonna 308 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: root against me, I'll root against you. Professional athletes and 309 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: collegiate athletes, this comes into play, and this is not 310 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: all of them, by the way. There are some wonderful ones, 311 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: wonderful ones who are an inspiration. But the ones who 312 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: turn out to be communist, they're not quiet about it anymore. 313 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: It's all over their Instagram, it's all over social media, 314 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: and then it becomes a news story. The New York 315 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Times is talking about it, and that has turned into 316 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: making sports networks communist ESPN for example. Again not to 317 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: date myself. When I was a teenager, I always played sports. 318 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: I was terrible, don't get me wrong, but I always 319 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: played baseball and basketball years and years and years. I 320 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: was awful, but I played sports. My friends played sports. 321 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: After basketball practice, you went home and you turned on ESPN, 322 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: you turned on Sports Center, and what was it? It 323 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: was dudes? Mainly dudes. But there were some women in there. 324 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: Linda Cohen and the old types who were just awesome. 325 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: There was dudes playing highlights with funny things. That's what 326 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: ESPN used to be. I haven't turned on ESPN in years. 327 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: It's a bunch of dirty comedy journalists crap it all 328 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: over America. Everything's racist. Hey, do we have any games today? 329 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: It's awful. It's turned me off of sports big time. 330 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something, you know what's terrible, baring 331 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: my soul to you here. My sons each play sports. 332 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: We we. 333 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Wanted them to be physical. Not that they need to 334 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: be elite athletes, and not that I'm that guy you 335 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: got to get a scholarship or you're dead. To me, 336 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: it's not at all what we do. We just want 337 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: them to be physically active, and so we made them 338 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: play everything till they found some sports they liked. So 339 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: that you know, I have swimmer, I have a swimmer, 340 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: I have a runner, I have That's what they do. 341 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: But my sons, they aren't into watching sports because it 342 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: was never a priority for me. As they were growing up, 343 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: I kept getting more and more turned off by sports. 344 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: And so now when there is something, you know, it 345 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: was a big baseball game, the World Series. We just 346 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: recently had the World I like to watch base I'm 347 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I've become more of a baseball guy. By the way, 348 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: percentage wise, baseball players are by a mile, the most 349 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: republican league in the country, way more republican than anything else. 350 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, I started to watch that World Series, you know, 351 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: I would watch the World Series with my dad. I 352 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: remember watching Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks, and I remember it. 353 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: My sons don't care because I got turned off, and 354 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: so now that's a moment I don't get with them 355 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: what Chris Chris said, not even like big track events 356 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: or big swimming events. No, that's the thing. I mean, 357 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: for one who wants to watch televised swimming, that's one 358 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: and two. My boys do it as much for the 359 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: camaraderie as anything else. My oldest James is more physical, 360 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: much more physical than I ever was. He's just one 361 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: of these natural athletes. You really see the difference in 362 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: people with what God gives them when they're born and whatnot. 363 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: He's just an unbelievable athlete. He could have played anything 364 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: he wanted, but he just wants to run. That's it. 365 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: He'll get up. He did it this morning. Get this. 366 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: No one told him to seventeen. We heard him leave. 367 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: He got up at five am this morning, five am, 368 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: seventeen years old, got up with his running gear on, 369 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: just went out for a run. Seventeen. No one told 370 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: him too. It's not he's not in season. He just 371 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: does it. It's just how he There's nothing you could 372 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: have done to me at seventeen years old to get 373 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: me up at five am, if I didn't have practice, 374 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: to get me up at five am out there pounding 375 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: the pavement. It's just who he is. But they're They're 376 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: just not that way. And I could obviously I'm probably 377 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: casting blame here. Well, it's their fault. It's their fault. 378 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: It's their fault. But that's also a personality thing for 379 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: me too. And when I get turned off by something, 380 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: when I feel like somebody or some entity spits in 381 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: my face, I'll walk away forever. I'll walk away the 382 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: Black Lives. You don't realize how obsessed I was with 383 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. Obsessed fantasy football. I was that guy on Sunday. 384 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: I'd watch every early game, flipping back and forth, every 385 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: afternoon game, flipping back and forth. And then I'm there 386 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: hanging out for Sunday Night football and then I can't 387 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: wait till Monday night football, and then I'm upset. I 388 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: have to wait till the next weekend. Everything obsessed my 389 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: entire life. I don't think I've watched a game in 390 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: its entirety since the Black Lives Matter stuff. It is 391 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Friday. Sundays. You're 392 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: just in such a good mood. 393 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: You gotta sayna Dei Sunday.

I have to admit, when 398 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: I found out you were in your early forties, I 399 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: was a little put off, thinking you didn't have the 400 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: gravitasta opining about politics or history. I deeply apologize because 401 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: I've become a regular listener and a bit of a fan. 402 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to apologize to me, brother. Your takes 403 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: on toxic immigration and to the left are spawn on 404 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: and entertaining. Military question. What made Vietnamese General Gep so 405 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: successful in his war against the Arvan and the Americans. 406 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: All right, now, let's do a little primer here, General Gep. First, 407 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: before America ever got involved in Vietnam, Vietnam had been 408 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: colonized by the French. Now we could go back even 409 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: further where Vietnam was a bunch of tribes. We're not 410 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: gonna do that, though. By the fifties, the French were 411 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: losing their hold on Vietnam. France post World War Two, 412 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: for fairly obvious reasons, was having a difficult time keeping 413 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: a handle on any of their overseas colonies. They just 414 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: were Remember this, always remember this. Pause for a moment. 415 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: We'll come back to Vietnam. I sowhere. I won't get 416 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: too distracted. Remember this about colonialism one, it's underrated, completely underrated. 417 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: If it's done right, and the British were the ones 418 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: who really did this right. If it's done right, everyone wins. 419 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: We will move into your Third world dump. We are 420 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: going to run things. You are going to help us. 421 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna you're gonna get We're gonna take some of 422 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: your resources. When we need troops for a war, we're 423 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: going to have you send some. But don't think it's 424 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: a one way street. We are going to provide for you. 425 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: We are going to make your society more modern, roads, schools, 426 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: the medical supplies. We're going to modernize your country and 427 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: raise the standard of living for the people in your country. 428 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: And we're going to protect you. That's a big, big, 429 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: big part of colonialism that makes it work. The Third 430 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: world country that gets colonized and then modernized, they can 431 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: count on big Brother coming in if anyone wants to 432 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: start some stuff. Why did so many of these countries, Britain, France, 433 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: Why did so many of them lose complete control of 434 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: their overseas colonies after World War Two? Whoa? You said 435 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: you would protect me. The Japanese imperial army just marched 436 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: into my country and pillaged it like savages. For years 437 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 1: you said you would protect me. Clearly you can't. This 438 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: deal is off. The deal is off. Remember the colonial 439 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: power has to hold up there end of the market. Anyway, 440 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: back to our story. Everyone has heard at least at 441 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: least I hope you have heard of the Battle of 442 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: den ben Fo. You've never heard of dmbnfu Chris, good grief? 443 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: All right, all right, so let mean just let me 444 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: do this. The French were a very modern army. Like 445 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: I said, they had control of Vietnam. By nineteen fifty four, 446 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: they were losing that control and they ended up in 447 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: a huge battle known as d'en ben Fou. The French 448 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: lost that battle. This is nineteen fifty four, I believe, 449 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: I believe. Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty 450 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: sure I'm right. Nineteen fifty four, the French lost d'en 451 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: ben fo. The Vietnamese won one of those shocked the 452 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: world type things, and the French, this modern empire, France 453 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: had to walk out of Vietnam with its tail between 454 00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: its legs. Now, one of the main forces fighting against 455 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: the French in Vietnam were the viet Men, the Viet 456 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: min with me, before there was a Viet Kong, there 457 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: was a Viet Minh. Sorry, we're gonna stop for another second. 458 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna do a little history today. In 459 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: the Vietnam War, you know, there was North Vietnam, the 460 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: dirty commies, and South Vietnam, the North Vietnamese. They had 461 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: an actual army, the NVA, the North Vietnamese Army. We're 462 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: talking a regular army, uniforms, all the works. In South Vietnam, 463 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 1: there was a communist gorilla insurgency. Those were the Viet Kong. 464 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: Those were the ones who were farmers in accountants during 465 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: the day. At night they put on black pajamas and 466 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: go put out land mines for American troops. The communist 467 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: guerrilla force in South Vietnam was the Viet Kong. Viet 468 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: Kong and NVA are two different forces. Yes, they obviously 469 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: worked together and whatnot, but they're two different forces. Now, 470 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: those Viet Kong, before they were known as Viet Kong, 471 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: they were the Viet Men. You know about the Vietnamese tunnels, 472 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: of course, I know you know about the Vietnamese tunnels. 473 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: They had all these tunnels in South Vietnam, all these 474 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: little spider holes in tunnels where they would have they 475 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: were huge, huge underground hospitals and places where you could sleep, 476 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: and unbelievably intricate tunnels. Do you think they built all 477 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: those right when the Americans showed up in the sixties. No, no, 478 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: no, no no. Those were built to combat the French long 479 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: before we got there, So many of the tunnels were 480 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: already there. Now, obviously they built more and established more 481 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: once the Americans got there. The viet Men were the 482 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: ones who built those tunnels. Now, the name General Gapp 483 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: is not widely known in American circles. It is just 484 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: not because we care about Americans. Obviously, we're not going 485 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: to focus on too many Vietnamese figures. Most Americans know 486 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: who Ho Chi Minh was. He was the Communist leader 487 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: of North Vietnam and then eventually the leader of the 488 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: whole thing when they won.
