WEBVTT - Defeating Communists

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Friday.

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations to you. You have made it. The week is

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>over and it is smooth sailing from here. Now we

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>have an enormous show for you tonight. I want you

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to think. Just close your eyes unless you're driving right now,

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and think about the feminist in your life. Tonight's show

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is bigger than she is. They ask Doctor Jesse Friday

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>questions are the greatest we have ever had. And no,

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't say that every Friday. Some Fridays are good,

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>sum are great, summer average. I mean, we have questions

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>about the Olympics, Ewo Jima, Vietnamese general and the Vietnam

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Vietnam War general Gep someone as a Black Lives Matter

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>flag waving. Can we actually get out of this political

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>situation we're in without violence? All that so much more,

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 1>even deporting your ex wife. Oh, that is coming up

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>tonight on the World of Famous Jesse Kelly's Show. But

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>we have to do something that I think is important. Obviously,

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the show is not important. It's just a radio show.

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an important person. I don't have an important job.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>My job is to make your day a little bit

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>better for fifteen minutes or three hours, however long I

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>have you. That's it. You probably have an important job.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I do not, But every now and then I think

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it's important that we stop and attempt to do something

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>meaningful on the show, something that has very deep meaning

0:01:54.720 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to me and very deep meaning hopefully to you. Before

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I get into anything else, I'm gonna play something for you,

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and we shouldn't ever underestimate this, the power of music.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>God gave us music. Did you know that? Do you

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>remember that story the Old Testament? Chris? You probably remember

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>King Saw when he was ravaged by evil spirits? How

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>did he calm things down? Music? Maybe right now you're

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>going through it in your life. Maybe it's great times,

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's bad times. I don't. I don't know, but

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought it would. I just thought it would. I

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>thought it would make your day a lot better if

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>we played some powerful, powerful music for you on the show.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>So before we start, I just want you to sit

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>back and take this in.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I thought, invite our neighbors, and we're gonna heal this

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 2>world with loud.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Tear down the fences. I can't take these were such nutballs.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 1>They really are just theater kids all the theater. Kids

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>grew up and they didn't get efficiently bullied in school,

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and now we have to deal with these people. They

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>do this stuff all the time. Hey, drop, where you

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>going with that gun in your hands?

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>We will over, we will I can't.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to stop. I have to stop them crying.

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, quit, We're gonna focus focus. Y See, Conservatives

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>have failed to take back the leadership of the Republican

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Party for over one hundred and twenty years. During that time,

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>communists have succeeded in taking control of all the cultural institutions.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Time appears to be on their side. Once communism is

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>established in a nation, can you set an example of

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the nation voting its way out? What are your thoughts? Okay,

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>so I do want to address this. You say Conservatives

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>have failed to take back the leadership of the Republican

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Party for over one hundred and twenty years, and I

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>would argue that's that's not true. I know there are

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of Republican leaders in the low TGOPO who

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>are too weak, who you despise. But you know all

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the Republican leadership, you know they all hated Ronald Reagan, right,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I know that none of them will admit that now.

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Nobody why Because Ronald Reagan got elected and was a

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>two term president and was well thought of by the people.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And so every single dirty snake Republican in leadership who

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>tried to torpedo his nomination and keep him out of

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the White House, every one of them now and they're

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 1>much older age. They all talk about how much they

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>love Reagan, and Reagan loved me and look at me

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and took a picture with Reagan one time. Ronald Reagan

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>was a political outsider Donald Trump. Maybe you don't like

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. That's fine, I don't care, doesn't matter. It

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't bother me. I'm not friends with him, doesn't bother me.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he does things that get under your skin, totally fine,

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I get it. But do you really understand how much

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>those people in Washington, d C. I'm talking about establishment Republicans.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you understand how much they hate him? He's the president.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the first time he ran in his

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>first primary? Do you remember who they wanted the establishment?

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>They wanted Jeb Bush. And not only did they want

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush was the had a great reputation

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>as the governor of Florida. He comes from political royalty.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Obviously the Bush family and had a brinch truck of money.

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Everything was set up for Jeb Bush to be the nominee.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>Jeb Bush got imbarrassed, embarrassed to such a degree that

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to this day Jeb Bush is a punchline. And if

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you're pretty new to politics, or maybe you're a little

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>bit forgetful, you forget that there was a time when

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Jeb Bush was a powerbroker in the Republican Party. Now

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>people laugh at him. Donald Trump wasn't supposed to win

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that primary. Donald Trump had no chance. He's too crass,

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>he's too he's been married three times. He's not a

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>traditional conservative, he's Do you know how many establishment swamp

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>rat Republican types have retired in recent years and how

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>many are about to retire? You and I we rage

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>against dorks like Tom Tillis, the Senator from North Carolina.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>All the time, he sucks, He sucks every day. He

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>has a new anti Trump, anti youth thing out there.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Every day he says something stupid. Tom Tillis is retiring. Why,

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Because Tom Tillis can see the writing on the wall.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the Texas Senate primary is going

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to turn out between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. I

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>have no earthly idea, but I have yet to see

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>a poll that shows John Cornyn within sniffing distance of

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Ken Paxton. Do you understand how powerful John Cornyn is.

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>John Cornyn has full time security because he has reached

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>such a level of leadership in the Republican Party in Washington,

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>d C. I despise him, but John Cornyn is an

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>absurdly powerful man. With a word, John Cornyn can move

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>mountains of money two or away from your cause. John

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Cornyn is courted by all the dirty lobbyists in Washington,

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>d C. John Cornyan is a mini king. And again,

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get ahead of myself. There's a

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to do, There's a lot of time left.

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But John Cornyn probably loses a primary this year. I

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's fair or accurate to say we you

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and I have never changed the leadership of the Republican Party.

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>What I think is fair and accurate are two things.

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 1>First thing, we discussed this a little bit last night.

0:08:54.679 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Change Political change comes very very Slowlyeople who love and

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>read history, you know you'll read seven years of political activism.

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It'll be three pages in a book, so it seems fast.

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>In a movie, it's a cutscene. This ten years years.

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It takes years. Political change takes years. That's one and two.

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Up until recent years when the Communists really lost their

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>minds and started waking up all the norms and normas

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. Up until recent years, the GOP did not

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 1>participate in anything outside of presidential politics. We wouldn't vote

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in primaries, we wouldn't vote in regular elections, we wouldn't

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.719
<v Speaker 1>get involved in off few elections special elections the Communists

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>did every single time, every single time. I'll repeat the

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>number again. Now this number is improving, so I'm not

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to dishearten you. Do you know why the Democrat

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Party has gone communist and the Republican Party hasn't moved

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.239
<v Speaker 1>as far to the right Because fifty percent of registered

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Democrats vote in their primary. Half they'll show up at

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the primary. The Republican number half that. That's just a

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>national average, but half that. They are twice as invested

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>in their primaries as we are. They have been. We're

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>getting better, we are making changes. We are Will it

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>happen in time, I don't know, But let's give ourselves

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of credit, shall we, Hey, Jesse, I

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>won't give my name because I won have a neighbor

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>with a gay flag, and two have another neighbor with

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>a Black Lives Matter sign in their front yard. In

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>three a Jewish neighbor with whom I was discussing cars,

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I suggested he buy a Tesla, and he replied with

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a Nazi salute jeez, and went on to explain what

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a horrible person Musk was and how bad his cars

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>were built. Last year he was telling me how wonderful

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the cars were. Should I put a Trump sign in

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>my front lawn? Now this is one of those situations

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>where I don't feel comfortable giving advice. And I'll explain why.

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>You remember during COVID, with all the lies and propaganda

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>out there, everyone's gonna die. And then those, of course

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>all compounded into lies about the fake vaccine that wasn't

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a vaccine at all. You have to get it. You

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>won't get it, Okay, If you get the vaccine, you

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>will get it, but not as bad. All right, you'll

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>get it as bad. You won't spread it, you will

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 1>spread it. It was all just one big lie. And

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you remember how evil the country got at that moment,

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>how controlling an evil the country got, and it filtered

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>all the way down to employers. Corporations are oftentimes huge cowards.

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>They're just afraid. They operate out of fear, and companies

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>oftentimes run by some angry lesbian and HR started sorry,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Chris started making people take trying to make people take vaccines. Oh,

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to take it. You have to take it,

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>or you're fired. I can't tell you how many emails

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>we got, Jesse, Should I take it? Jesse? What do

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I do? Jesse? Should I take it? And what did

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I tell you? Every single time? I can tell you

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 1>what I'm going to do, or more specifically, what I'm

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>not going to do. I can't tell you to lose

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>your job. I can't pay your bills. I can't tell

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you I can't make that decision for you. That's not fair.

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>That's not fair of me to do to you. No

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>stand on principle, lose your job. Uh okay, Now you

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>gave that advice, and that guy took that advice, and

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>now he's out of work, and now they're on welfare.

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Now he moved back in with his mom. Now they

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>had to Oh, well, that's my fault. That's at least

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>partially my fault. I can't do that to you. You

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>have neighbors who are communists, Black Lives Matter, the gay flag,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is a Nazi, all this other stuff. You

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>have neighbors who are communists, and you ask should you

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>put up a Trump flag a Trump sign in your

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>front yard? I would love to tell you yes, but

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to understand two things. First, how

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>soul draining it is to have a bad neighbor. I

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have had bad neighbors before. Because I've moved so many

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>different places, I've lived all over, I've had multiple bad neighbors.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>It sucks, man, when your home stops becoming a place

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>of peace because of a neighbor. What it does is

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it removes an outlet from your life. We all have

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>stresses in life. That's the way it is. Wife, husband, kids,

0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>at school, church, work. If we all have things going

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>on in life, health struggles. To not have a place

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>where you can just rest from time to time, it sucks.

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>You have communists as neighbors. Let's do remember what a

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>communist actually is, right, they are anti humans. Let's say

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you put that Trump sign in your front yard and

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm tempted to tell you to do it because I

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>think you should. But let's say you do. Let's say

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you do that. What radical changes have you seen in

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>recent years with poll numbers in the Democrat Party and

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>what they think about you. Your neighbors think you're a Nazi.

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Your neighbors think you should be deprogrammed. Your neighbors thought

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>during COVID that your kids should be taken away from

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you if you have children. A large percentage of Democrats

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>think violence is an option in politics. Your neighbors during

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>COVID thought you should be ripped from your home and

0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>place in a camp for not doing what you were told.

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>We need to be careful in life about stacking up enemies.

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I warned you not to keep coming back to COVID.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>That the person in your life who told you you

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>couldn't visit for Christmas that year because you hadn't been

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>boosted yet, that that went well beyond COVID, That whoever

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that person was, coworker, mother, daughter, whoever it was, whoever

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that person was, that's the person who's going to turn

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you into the FEDS one day. That's the person, if

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 1>God forbid, the communist savages ever start going door to

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>door to round us up. That's the one who's going

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to say, Oh, that's Bob with the Maga maga sign.

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Where I know where he has a crawl space. I

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>know where he's hiding. Here, let me show you where

0:15:54.280 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he's hiding. I think you should move. If I had

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>neighbors like that, I would sell my house and move.

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not exaggerating. I refuse to live in that

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>environment anymore. There you go, all right, we'll talk Olympics,

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.640

<v Speaker 2>this world win.

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad I'm not a communist. Hey, Jesse, did

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know the Olympics started? I couldn't care less. The

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>global elitist ruined it years ago. What's your stance on

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics. Well, here's here's my stance on the Olympics.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very similar to my stance on sports, televised

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>sports in general. When I was a kid, we didn't

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>watch a ton of TV as a family, but the

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 1>times we did it was special to me because it

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>was family time. My dad traveled a lot for construction,

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and so this was back when we had Blockbuster Video.

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Remember Blockbuster Video. I've said, look, if you're young, we

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>used to have to go visit a store to rent

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.919
<v Speaker 1>movies and take them home. I'm not trying to be

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>old fogy, but that's how it was. When we went

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to Blockbuster Video. That was I mean, it's probably nothing

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>from my parents, it was everything to me. Everybody pick

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>out a movie, we'll rent a movie up, not that

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 1>when it's got bad scenes in it. Did you go

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>home and watch a movie that was special? The Olympics

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>were part of that for me. We weren't Olympics obsessed,

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:52.959
<v Speaker 1>of course, but we would watch it and cheer. And

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>this was the era of Carl Lewis was breaking all

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the track records and the gymnastics team. Do you u

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I say gymnastics team. They were always America's sweethearts back then.

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know what I was looking at you.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>There was a bunch of Hey, I was a kid, right,

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm was ten years old, Hey, there are pretty girls

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 1>doing gymnastics. I didn't know what's going on, but still

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was rooting for America. I was not

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>raised in a political household, but it was a super

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>America household. Now, we don't root for foreigners. My dad

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>America baby. So that's what it was. But some things

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>have happened over the years, and there's a couple different

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.159
<v Speaker 1>parts to this. Our education system, as we discussed, so

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 1>much has gone so anti America, so communist. This obviously

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>has an effect on everyone who comes through it. Some

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 1>will come out stronger and better, but many will come

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 1>out and they will succumb to the anti America propaganda.

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Oftentimes not always. There are many athletes who are brilliant people,

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 1>but oftentimes athletes are stupid. They're really dumb people, just

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 1>very very dumb. Physically gifted, but their minds never developed

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>because they don't have to, and so they're just very

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>stupid and very susceptible to propaganda. And so they go

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>through the education system and they come out America hating Communists. Look,

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll stay with gymnastics because it's a perfect example. Simone Biles.

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Simone Biles, my wife is a gymnast, So she knows

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. And I mean elite level gymnast. My

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>wife will tell me all day long. Any gymnast I've

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.120
<v Speaker 1>ever talked to will tell me this that there's never

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>been a gymnast who has ever walked who is as good,

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>even close to as good as Simone Biles. She does

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>things physically that are not possible for other gymnasts. She's

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that good, she's that elite. But she's a moron, a

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>complete moron. She's a race communist. If you go look

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>at her public comments, she's a filthy communist. If she

0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 1>never opened her stupid fat mouth, I would just I

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 1>would root her on because she's an American and she's

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.880
<v Speaker 1>dominating and I love that. But she came up as

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a communist, she learned from other communists. And now, and

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>this is the other part of it, due to social

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>media pressures. Now when you turn around, she's opening up

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.120
<v Speaker 1>her stupid fat communist mouth and trashing Trump and trashing

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the country and trash and trash and that, and so

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 1>turns me off. What am I gonna What am I

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? Tune in and watch? Now? Am I supposed

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to root for that? I don't give a crap about

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Simone Biles. You don't give a crap about my country.

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a crap about you. I hope you

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>follow in the Olympics. Means nothing to me. You're gonna

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>root against me, I'll root against you. Professional athletes and

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 1>collegiate athletes, this comes into play, and this is not

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 1>all of them, by the way. There are some wonderful ones,

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>wonderful ones who are an inspiration. But the ones who

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>turn out to be communist, they're not quiet about it anymore.

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>It's all over their Instagram, it's all over social media,

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and then it becomes a news story. The New York

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Times is talking about it, and that has turned into

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>making sports networks communist ESPN for example. Again not to

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>date myself. When I was a teenager, I always played sports.

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>I was terrible, don't get me wrong, but I always

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>played baseball and basketball years and years and years. I

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>was awful, but I played sports. My friends played sports.

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:34.159
<v Speaker 1>After basketball practice, you went home and you turned on ESPN,

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you turned on Sports Center, and what was it? It

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was dudes? Mainly dudes. But there were some women in there.

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Linda Cohen and the old types who were just awesome.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>There was dudes playing highlights with funny things. That's what

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>ESPN used to be. I haven't turned on ESPN in years.

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a bunch of dirty comedy journalists crap it all

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.479
<v Speaker 1>over America. Everything's racist. Hey, do we have any games today?

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>It's awful. It's turned me off of sports big time.

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you something, you know what's terrible, baring

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:14.360
<v Speaker 1>my soul to you here. My sons each play sports.

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>We we.

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Wanted them to be physical. Not that they need to

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 1>be elite athletes, and not that I'm that guy you

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 1>got to get a scholarship or you're dead. To me,

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not at all what we do. We just want

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>them to be physically active, and so we made them

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>play everything till they found some sports they liked. So

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that you know, I have swimmer, I have a swimmer,

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a runner, I have That's what they do.

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>But my sons, they aren't into watching sports because it

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>was never a priority for me. As they were growing up,

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I kept getting more and more turned off by sports.

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>And so now when there is something, you know, it

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>was a big baseball game, the World Series. We just

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>recently had the World I like to watch base I'm

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I've become more of a baseball guy. By the way,

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>percentage wise, baseball players are by a mile, the most

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>republican league in the country, way more republican than anything else.

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I started to watch that World Series, you know,

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I would watch the World Series with my dad. I

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:22.400
<v Speaker 1>remember watching Randy Johnson and the Diamondbacks, and I remember it.

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>My sons don't care because I got turned off, and

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>so now that's a moment I don't get with them

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:36.919
<v Speaker 1>what Chris Chris said, not even like big track events

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 1>or big swimming events. No, that's the thing. I mean,

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>for one who wants to watch televised swimming, that's one

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and two. My boys do it as much for the

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>camaraderie as anything else. My oldest James is more physical,

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>much more physical than I ever was. He's just one

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of these natural athletes. You really see the difference in

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>people with what God gives them when they're born and whatnot.

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>He's just an unbelievable athlete. He could have played anything

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 1>he wanted, but he just wants to run. That's it.

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 1>He'll get up. He did it this morning. Get this.

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 1>No one told him to seventeen. We heard him leave.

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 1>He got up at five am this morning, five am,

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>seventeen years old, got up with his running gear on,

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just went out for a run. Seventeen. No one told

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.199
<v Speaker 1>him too. It's not he's not in season. He just

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 1>does it. It's just how he There's nothing you could

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>have done to me at seventeen years old to get

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 1>me up at five am, if I didn't have practice,

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to get me up at five am out there pounding

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the pavement. It's just who he is. But they're They're

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>just not that way. And I could obviously I'm probably

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>casting blame here. Well, it's their fault. It's their fault.

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It's their fault. But that's also a personality thing for

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>me too. And when I get turned off by something,

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 1>when I feel like somebody or some entity spits in

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>my face, I'll walk away forever. I'll walk away the

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Black Lives. You don't realize how obsessed I was with

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Obsessed fantasy football. I was that guy on Sunday.

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd watch every early game, flipping back and forth, every

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>afternoon game, flipping back and forth. And then I'm there

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 1>hanging out for Sunday Night football and then I can't

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 1>wait till Monday night football, and then I'm upset. I

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 1>have to wait till the next weekend. Everything obsessed my

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 1>entire life. I don't think I've watched a game in

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>its entirety since the Black Lives Matter stuff. It is

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Friday. Sundays. You're

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>just in such a good mood.

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You gotta sayna Dei Sunday. He invite our neighbors and

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna healed this world with love. Tear down the fences.

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Tear down the fences. We will tear down the fences.

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, quit It's asked doctor Jesse Friday, and I'm

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in a good mood. Jesse. I have to admit, when

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I found out you were in your early forties, I

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>was a little put off, thinking you didn't have the

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>gravitasta opining about politics or history. I deeply apologize because

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I've become a regular listener and a bit of a fan.

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to apologize to me, brother. Your takes

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:13.919
<v Speaker 1>on toxic immigration and to the left are spawn on

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and entertaining. Military question. What made Vietnamese General Gep so

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 1>successful in his war against the Arvan and the Americans.

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:33.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, now, let's do a little primer here, General Gep. First,

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>before America ever got involved in Vietnam, Vietnam had been

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.920
<v Speaker 1>colonized by the French. Now we could go back even

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>further where Vietnam was a bunch of tribes. We're not

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna do that, though. By the fifties, the French were

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>losing their hold on Vietnam. France post World War Two,

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for fairly obvious reasons, was having a difficult time keeping

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a handle on any of their overseas colonies. They just

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>were Remember this, always remember this. Pause for a moment.

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll come back to Vietnam. I sowhere. I won't get

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 1>too distracted. Remember this about colonialism one, it's underrated, completely underrated.

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 1>If it's done right, and the British were the ones

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 1>who really did this right. If it's done right, everyone wins.

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>We will move into your Third world dump. We are

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>going to run things. You are going to help us.

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna you're gonna get We're gonna take some of

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>your resources. When we need troops for a war, we're

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>going to have you send some. But don't think it's

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a one way street. We are going to provide for you.

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 1>We are going to make your society more modern, roads, schools,

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 1>the medical supplies. We're going to modernize your country and

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>raise the standard of living for the people in your country.

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to protect you. That's a big, big,

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:09.359
<v Speaker 1>big part of colonialism that makes it work. The Third

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:14.440
<v Speaker 1>world country that gets colonized and then modernized, they can

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 1>count on big Brother coming in if anyone wants to

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 1>start some stuff. Why did so many of these countries, Britain, France,

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Why did so many of them lose complete control of

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>their overseas colonies after World War Two? Whoa? You said

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you would protect me. The Japanese imperial army just marched

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>into my country and pillaged it like savages. For years

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:50.479
<v Speaker 1>you said you would protect me. Clearly you can't. This

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>deal is off. The deal is off. Remember the colonial

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 1>power has to hold up there end of the market. Anyway,

0:28:55.680 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>back to our story. Everyone has heard at least at

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 1>least I hope you have heard of the Battle of

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>den ben Fo. You've never heard of dmbnfu Chris, good grief?

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, so let mean just let me

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 1>do this. The French were a very modern army. Like

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, they had control of Vietnam. By nineteen fifty four,

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:26.880
<v Speaker 1>they were losing that control and they ended up in

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a huge battle known as d'en ben Fou. The French

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lost that battle. This is nineteen fifty four, I believe,

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe. Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.840
<v Speaker 1>sure I'm right. Nineteen fifty four, the French lost d'en

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ben fo. The Vietnamese won one of those shocked the

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>world type things, and the French, this modern empire, France

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:54.200
<v Speaker 1>had to walk out of Vietnam with its tail between

0:29:54.240 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>its legs. Now, one of the main forces fighting against

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the French in Vietnam were the viet Men, the Viet

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>min with me, before there was a Viet Kong, there

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>was a Viet Minh. Sorry, we're gonna stop for another second.

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess we're gonna do a little history today. In

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the Vietnam War, you know, there was North Vietnam, the

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>dirty commies, and South Vietnam, the North Vietnamese. They had

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>an actual army, the NVA, the North Vietnamese Army. We're

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>talking a regular army, uniforms, all the works. In South Vietnam,

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:46.719
<v Speaker 1>there was a communist gorilla insurgency. Those were the Viet Kong.

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Those were the ones who were farmers in accountants during

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the day. At night they put on black pajamas and

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>go put out land mines for American troops. The communist

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 1>guerrilla force in South Vietnam was the Viet Kong. Viet

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Kong and NVA are two different forces. Yes, they obviously

0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>worked together and whatnot, but they're two different forces. Now,

0:31:11.400 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>those Viet Kong, before they were known as Viet Kong,

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>they were the Viet Men. You know about the Vietnamese tunnels,

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, I know you know about the Vietnamese tunnels.

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 1>They had all these tunnels in South Vietnam, all these

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>little spider holes in tunnels where they would have they

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>were huge, huge underground hospitals and places where you could sleep,

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and unbelievably intricate tunnels. Do you think they built all

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>those right when the Americans showed up in the sixties. No, no,

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 1>no, no no. Those were built to combat the French long

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.960
<v Speaker 1>before we got there, So many of the tunnels were

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>already there. Now, obviously they built more and established more

0:31:56.840 --> 0:32:00.320
<v Speaker 1>once the Americans got there. The viet Men were the

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>ones who built those tunnels. Now, the name General Gapp

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is not widely known in American circles. It is just

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>not because we care about Americans. Obviously, we're not going

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to focus on too many Vietnamese figures. Most Americans know

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 1>who Ho Chi Minh was. He was the Communist leader

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of North Vietnam and then eventually the leader of the

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>whole thing when they won. But people know Ho Chi

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Minh and they don't really know many other people. General

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>g App is one of those guys. Depending on who

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you read, there are different opinions on this, but many

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:43.959
<v Speaker 1>people consider him to be a military genius, and militarily

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>they consider him to be largely responsible for the Vietnamese

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>success both at d'en Benfu and later on in the

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Vietnam War. I'll finish this up just hopefully just a

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes, and we'll move on through some political

0:32:58.000 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 1>things next
