Final hour of the 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:09.479 Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Friday, and ask Doctor 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.319 Jesse Friday. We're gonna get through as many of your 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:15.920 questions as we possibly can. Someone wants talked a little 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.280 bit of communist history. Do nations themselves have a psyche? 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.759 Some guy and his wife are fighting over who has 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.440 to do the dishes, some Napoleon stuff all that's so 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.960 much more to come in the final hour of The 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.080 Jesse Kelly Show. This might be my favorite email I've 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:37.000 gotten today. Hey, Doctor Jesse, my dad and I listen 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.199 to your show every day in the car ride to 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.199 and from school. I really enjoy listening to you and 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.120 learning about the Medal of Honor recipients. Anyway, I have 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.640 a history project where we can choose any topic in 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.000 regards to history, but not too broad of a subject, 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.600 so I was hoping you could recommend something to do. Lastly, 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.160 I have some concerns that my history teacher is a communist, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.479 so I would like to pick a topic to teach 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.800 him a lesson about the dangers of communism and or socialism. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.160 I'm twelve years old in the seventh grade, and I 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:20.080 live in Minnesota. Didn't say, didn't say, didn't get name permission, 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.679 So I'm not gonna read the name. I'm gonna need 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:27.320 the name, all right, So here's what you do. Let me. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:28.920 I'm gonna look this up and make sure I have 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.480 the correct spelling. So yeah, sorry, I know this is 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.400 completely unprofessional to do this on the air. Yeah, I 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.920 was right. I want you to do a history topic. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.559 Oh no, maybe this is too dark, Chris. You're gonna 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.679 have to tell me if this is too dark. I 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:52.360 want you to do a history topic on Nazeno Island. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.920 No Zeno Island starts with an N like November, all right, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:01.640 no Zeno Island. Long time listeners of the show will 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.600 remember I did did a history hour or something like 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.920 that on it one time. It was just an hour, right, Chris, whatever. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.560 It was a long time ago, but I did one 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.399 on it. And you have a dirty comedy teacher who 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.400 needs to get taught about dirty commed atrocities. This Nazeno 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:22.600 Island story, it is so horrible, beyond belief, and it's 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.440 one of those things that surprise surprise the Soviet Union, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.240 the Communists. They kept the horror of it. I believe 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.239 it happened in nineteen thirty three. I think it was 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.960 in the thirties. The Soviets kept the horror of it quiet, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.480 I think until the eighties or something like that when 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:46.120 they finally released the files. Essentially it was this. You know, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.360 they had the Gulag system right, and let me explain. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.240 To get sent to the Gulag took nothing at all 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.040 because it was a communist system. They're just monsters, nothing 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.720 at all. And you know you've heard the old frame, 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.839 the old phrase show me your papers, show me your papers. Well, 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.240 that comes from, for instance, the Soviet Union, show me 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.280 your papers. You had to have your papers on you 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.200 at all time, at all time, and if the authority 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.120 stopped you and you didn't, it's bye bye jack. So 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.960 if you want to run down to the grocery store 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.600 and buy some skittles, and maybe maybe your house is 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.720 like right next to it, maybe it's across the street, 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.400 how forget it understore on my coat real quick and 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.480 run across the street. But your papers are upstairs. This 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.840 stuff happened cops. If they stop you papers and you 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.400 don't have them, you don't go back home and say goodbye. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.120 You get bundled up and tossed in the back of 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.600 a van and you are shipped off to some god 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.280 forsaken open air prison somewhere suffering all manner of abuses. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.920 Oh and there's this part too. It wasn't just innocent 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:03.760 people without their papers or pull it prisoners, murderers, rapists, thieves, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.480 that these types of people. After the Soviets clamped down control, 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.800 they used all those people for the revolution. Then as 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.200 soon as the revolution was over they shot them all 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.320 or threw them all in prison. Well you're in prison 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.160 with really really bad, dangerous people again. You were going 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:24.200 out for skittles. Now you're not all right. Now. The 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:32.120 Zeno Island the Soviets were allegedly building I used that 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.640 with their fingers, quote building a goolag on this island. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.480 It was an island in the middle of a river. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.960 In case you're wondering, I think a river. I haven't 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.400 done it a while. I'm pretty sure it was a large, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.560 large river anyway, Yeah, a big island in the middle 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.080 of a river and it was not built yet, no facilities. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:56.520 But they started throwing people on trains and shipping them 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.960 to this island. Now the island has no buildings. Again, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:05.359 there's no facilities, there's nothing on it. It does have guards, 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.880 that has Soviet guards, so you can't just leave. But 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.799 they get the train there with all these people, some murderers, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.880 some rapists, some totally innocent, by the way, some women, 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.080 some men. It's not like they discriminated. Whatever. They show 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.159 up and there's no facilities on the island. They just 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.479 drop the people off anyway. They're communists, what do they care? 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:38.240 Good luck? Well, how long would it take in an 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.679 environment like that for it to descend into the most 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.800 violent house of horrors you've ever seen in your entire life. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:54.200 Cannibalism running rampant, The abuse the women suffered is unimaginable. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.240 It's so bad people are trying to throw themselves into 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.760 the river to try to escape, and the guards are 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.560 shooting people in the river. It was, it is. It 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.960 is a horror story of communism. Chris. You don't think 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.839 this is too much for a twelve year old, right, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:17.800 Chris is concerned? Oh my gosh, Chris suggested the helloda more. 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.760 He actually said the Heloda more was a little more pg. 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.760 Families were eating each other. How was that more pg? Chris? 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.520 In what universe is the helloa more? More PG than 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.800 Nazino Island In what universe could you possibly come up 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:36.400 with that in your mind? And it doesn't even extent Chris, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.360 you know what, it definitely don't do the helloda more. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.920 My goodness, don't do the helloda more. Maybe Nazino Island 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.600 was too much. Oh well, he knew what he was 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.320 getting or she knew what he was getting. I don't 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.680 want to. I'm gonna give it anything away, Jesse. Do 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:52.120 you think nations have a sort of national psyche or character. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.200 If so, wouldn't you agree that Russia is conducting their 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.440 maneuver war today in Ukraine pretty much the same way 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.560 they dealt with Napoleon two hundred years ago. It's just 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.640 their nature. It seems cool history story. Yeah, I think 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.600 nations do have a psyche a character, and it's what 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.880 is passed down from other countries or from the people 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.360 who came before us. We If you are an American, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.360 I realize there are people listening from all over the world, 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.840 which is weird. But if you are an American, you 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.720 probably do not fully appreciate how much we love guns 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.280 here compared to other countries, other countries. I mean, yes, 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.160 there are guns in other countries. I'm not going to 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.400 act like they don't have them. But this personal possession 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:43.920 of firearms and oftentimes several firearms and thousands of rounds 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.000 of ammunition and stuff like that in almost every other 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.600 country on the planet, that is just it's unheard of. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.360 It's completely unheard of. For an American, that's the norm. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.880 I think that's every friend I have. I don't. I 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.760 don't know that I know anybody personally who I hang 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.800 out with who doesn't have several guns and tons of ammo. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.400 It's yeah, yeah, Chris, it's not like I have one 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.400 or two. Well, I keep this one just for safety. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.120 Now now I've got this one, I've got that one. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.600 Who check out my new ar I'm buying another one 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.600 this weekend. Well, that didn't magically appear in US. That 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.600 was passed down to us by the wonderful, brave people 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.440 who hacked this country out of the barren place that 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.880 it was barren as far as civilization goes. It wasn't 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.480 just the Founding Fathers either, although they were important and 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.880 the Second Amendment was important as they saw, but all 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:49.920 the other people. Remember back East was unsettled Indian country. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.720 You're if you're gonna take your family to uh, the 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.959 Blue Ridge Mountains, and you're gonna build a cabin there 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.560 and try to make a life there. Not only do 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.280 you man have to know how to use guns, your 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.480 wife does too, and so do your kids. And when 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.400 they go out and about, you gotta go gather up 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.400 the chickens or something. You have guns on you because 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:16.840 it is a dangerous, dangerous place. Guns were necessary for 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.680 the American people in their infancy to conquer this country, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.160 and even later than that, waggage trains heading west, well, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.480 there are comanches and all kinds of other things out west. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.000 I would highly recommend you be armed, and they all were. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:37.559 And that legacy of firearms, the necessity of firearms and 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.880 firearms meaning safety, it still exists in America today. You 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.960 see it. Remember remember this crazy stat during the pandemic 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:53.400 during COVID firearms sales shot through the roof. There's a virus. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.920 Don't you gonna shoot it? But we na anything anything 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.520 that makes us well, there's a lot of government tyranny. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.360 There's a lot of this. A lot of people were 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.560 getting upset. You know what, I need another gun. I 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.160 gotta go any I gotta go get something that's awesome. Yeah, 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.200 nations have a psyche for sure. It is the Jesse 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.720 Kelly Show on an amazing, wonderful Friday and asked doctor 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.760 Jesse Friday, you can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.640 dot com. Hey, Jesse, the guy wrote you an email 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.320 last night claiming Napoleon was really French because the French 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.320 bought Corsica from Genoa around a year before Napoleon was born, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:36.240 therefore technically making him French. He has his dates right, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.199 but ethnicity wrong. Love that. I love that everyone's just 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:45.000 arguing about Napoleon's great Napoleon's family were of Genoese and 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.960 Tuscan lineage, and he had been living in Corsica for 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.120 several generations prior to his ear had been living in 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.280 generation Corska for several generations prior to his birth. So 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.440 Northern Italian, but Italian nonetheless. Yes, love the show. You 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.440 bring history to life. I always figured he was Italian 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.400 because he was so short. Dear doctor Jesse, my wife 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.880 and I have a disagreement and we need your opinion. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.400 I won't tell you which view is correct, I mean mine, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.640 so we get your unbiased opinion. Here. It is when 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.760 one of us cooks dinner. They are of the opinion 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.760 they shouldn't have to clean up the kitchen because they 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.240 already did the work of cooking and the non cooking 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.439 spouse is on cleanup duty. But the other one of 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.720 us thinks the person cooking should clean up the mess 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.360 they made. What say you, says, I can say his name. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:47.280 His name is Isaac. All right. I understand this division 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.920 of marital duties that takes place in many homes across 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.960 the country. I generally don't have to deal with it 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:03.000 at my house because I smartly loaded the dishwasher incorrectly 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.280 so many times that ab who cooks most of the meals, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.320 will then refuse to have me load the dishwasher because 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.720 you'll screw it up. And I'm oh, dang, but I 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.120 wanted to help out, so I don't have to deal 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.679 with this as much. But it is that way in 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.479 a lot of homes. Someone cooks, the other one cleans. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.640 Let me tell you why this is incorrect. The person 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.400 who does the cooking should also do the cleaning. If 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.080 you want to divide up marital duties, then one person 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.400 does that one night cooking and cleaning, then the next 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.480 person does it the other night, cooking and cleaning. And 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:47.800 let me tell you why cooking one is enjoyable. You're hungry. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.400 Everyone loves food. You know, I'm food obsessed. Everyone loves food. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.360 It's enjoyable to make a steak or a pasta or whatever. 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:02.240 It's enjoyable to eggs. It smells good. It's fun to cook. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:07.120 That's one. It's not fun to clean. Nobody has ever said, man, 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.760 I can't wait to do dishes that the dishes suck. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.120 You don't want to clean, You're full, you want to go, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:20.480 but lacks. It's terrible. That's one. Two. Sometimes ob will cook, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.200 and you know what a health freak she is, a 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.600 lot of women are like this where she wants fresh 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.920 this and fresh that. Like, for instance, if I'm putting 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.400 garlic in something, maybe I'm coming up with like a steak, 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.040 marinate or something, and I want garlic for it, what 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.360 do I do. I go to the grocery store and 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.599 I buy the little jar of minced garlic and I 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.360 take scoop out of there and I've don't but in there. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.160 She would never do that in a million years. She 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.960 has to grab a garlic clove herself and mince it. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.520 All up. This is a long way of saying, when 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:58.160 ob cooks, whatever she's cooking, the amount of dishes is unbelievable, unbelievable. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.559 If I am cooking, looking something for myself for the boys, 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:08.800 it's almost always one pan or one pot. I'll do 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.560 everything in that one pan one pot. Maybe I'll throw 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.720 something on the grill. So if I am stuck with 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:21.560 cleanup duty for her meals, that is that is I 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.160 hate to even say this word, you know, I don't 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.080 like this word, but that's not fair. That's not if 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.560 she gets to do the dishes off meals I cook, 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.960 she has one pan to clean. No, No, the person 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.400 who cooks does the cleaning. Jesse listening to you explain 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.560 how China pretty much has a class system and one 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.800 tries to be in the good category. Does this explain 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.520 why Chuck Schumer is scared to death that he may 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.080 not end up being in charge of the Democrat Party. Yeah, 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:56.920 of course, of course, Chuck Schumer. People think they're getting 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.240 Chuck Schumer. People on the right think they're getting Chuck 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.600 Schumer every time they bring up some old video of 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.760 Chuck Schumer saying the exact opposite types of things he 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.120 says today, Chuck Schumer says this crazy left wing thing today, 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.760 But look at Chuck Schumer from ten years ago saying 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.040 the exact opposite, and we think, oh, we really got him. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.760 But we don't understand the people who say that stuff 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:27.200 don't understand we're not getting him. Chuck Schumer is trying 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.600 to hold off the left flank of his own party. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.600 He's desperately trying to hold it off. Why Chuck Schumer 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.400 believes because he's retiring, he's not running again. But Chuck 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.120 Schumer believes, and I don't think he's right about this, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.640 but you never know. Chuck Schumer believes there's a chance 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.280 Democrats are going to take the Senate and the House 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.960 at the mid terms. If that were to happen, well, 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.920 you know how it works. The Senate Democrats, if they're 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.600 the majority, they are going to elect who their leader is. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.440 If you're Chuck Schumer, you spent your life searching for power, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.720 trying to hang on to power. Being a New York 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.040 senator is a very powerful thing. You think it would 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.040 be how he wanted to round out his career by 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:18.840 being the Senate majority leader. Senate majority leader. That's big 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:24.359 boys stuff. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.160 wonderful Friday. I hope you are getting ready to enjoy 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:33.280 an amazing weekend. I'm enjoying an amazing ass, doctor Jesse Friday. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.320 If this thing doesn't brighten your mood, I don't know 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:36.160 what will pour. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.880 I Brandon M. Scott, Mayor of the Great City of Baltimore, 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.000 Do hear by our proclaim that the four thousand block 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.000 of Freemount Avenue shall be some ceremony renamed as Tupacs 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.520 of Cool Way, and encourage all Baltimore residents to join 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:52.800 in the celebration. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:58.240 Congratulations, Oh, I am quite sure they'll be celebrating tonight. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.800 Doctor Jesse. Am I wrong to be confused? If the 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:11.920 CIA believes Iran still has significant ballistic missile capabilities, can't 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.560 they share that info with our military so those installations 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.040 can be destroyed? How much of the information we hear 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.399 is just plain? That's a potty word, buddy, So as 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.480 I can say his name, his name is Bill, all right, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:33.200 So first intelligence and intelligence gathering. We all love a 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.240 spy story, we all do. Its human nature. It's mysterious 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.920 and it's cool, and they have exploding pens and things 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:45.840 like that. We love this, but intelligence gathering it's not 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:52.680 an exact thing. Oftentimes you're getting bits of information here, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.359 bits of information from there, and you're not sure who 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.080 and what you can trust and how solid it is. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:03.080 For instance, I'm the CIA. I'm not, but I'm the CIA, 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.440 and I have a guy inside of Iran. And this 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.879 guy inside of Iran he wants something, obviously, maybe he 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.560 wants money, maybe he wants to come to America, whatever 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.800 it is. And this guy tells me, hey, I was 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.800 working on this military base in this part of town 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:28.440 and they have ballistic missiles there. Okay, maybe I even 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.240 have grainy satellite pictures that make it look like they 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.400 have missiles there. Okay, that's good. Maybe I even get 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:38.159 confirmation they have missiles there. Okay, good, Now I can 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:43.359 take it out. But he doesn't know my source. He 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:49.359 doesn't know everything. Everything is an estimate. That there's an estimate, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.080 you know. You hear them out there. Trump's talking about 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.159 this all the time, that we've destroyed ninety percent of 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.119 their air force and ninety percent of their navy. I mean, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.679 I'm sure he's not far off. When we're wrong, I'm 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.720 not calling them a liar with those are estimates. Iran 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.479 is in a mountainous country. People think of it as 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.040 if it's the desert. It is a mountainous country of 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.280 ninety million people. Do you know how much stuff you 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:19.040 can hide in the mountains? A lot, a lot, a 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.800 lot of things can be hidden in the mountains. This 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.280 is not I didn't mean this to be ominous, but 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.959 these decisive figures of well, why not just why not 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.959 just fire a missile at their missile sites. There's no 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.240 way we know where all of their missile sites are. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.920 That's not believable. And that's not because we're not capable. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.760 We're doing we're doing Our intelligence gathering has been top 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.040 pretty top notch. Obviously, the military has been pretty top notched. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.720 None of this was meant to be insulting. It's just 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.960 it's not as an exact science as the movies would 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.200 make us believe. Because we watch, you know, we watch 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.600 an HBO series, we watch a military movie and the 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.520 spy does he perish you it's into the into this country, 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.240 and then low crawls through the mountains and and he 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.119 locates the uh, the fortress that has the missiles in it, 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.719 and then he puts in a phone call and the 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.639 Green Berets drop from the sky and they they blow 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.680 everything up and then and then of course they get 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.240 out of the country, no problem, no must, no fuss, 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.040 scot free and all and all of it works well. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.760 But that is not at all how real life actually 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.680 works at all. And I do think I do need 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:32.520 to bring this up in life. I hate that I'm 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.840 gonna sound like an old football coach here, but you 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.719 you obviously know this is true. In life, successes can 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:44.840 turn into failures, and failures can turn into successes. For instance, 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.280 if I'm if I'm a boxer, I decided I want 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.280 to be a boxer, I have a new I have 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.240 a fight coming up, and I don't really train that 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.639 hard man, kind of lazy, not gonna go put in 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.720 the work. And I go out there and I stomp 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:03.280 this guy. I knock him out first round. That's a success, right, 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:07.200 I won. In the long run, that's probably going to 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.080 be a failure because I learned that I don't have 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.680 to work that hard and now the next guy's gonna 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.720 kill me. All right, that's a success that turns into 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:22.919 a failure. Venezuela removing Maduro is one of the coolest, 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.840 most impressive military operations I have ever heard of in 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:32.880 my entire life. In my entire life. What we did 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.520 down there, the intelligence gathering, I mean, we want to 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:40.359 talk about some great spy stuff, the intelligence gathering to 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.240 be able to locate him. You didn't know what kind 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.760 of his defenses were to be able to knock out 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.439 all their radar systems, so they didn't know we were coming. 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:55.840 We flew helicopters into their capital in the middle of 0:21:55.880 --> 0:22:00.960 the night, got out of them, stole their president and 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:05.640 his wife, packed it up, and left without losing a 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:10.760 single man. It is one of the coolest, most impressive 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.760 things I have ever heard of, and I'm dying for 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.439 I'm dying for a book to come out about it. 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.800 You know, someone's gonna write a book or do a 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.720 movie series or something about it. It's going to be sweet. 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:24.560 I want to know. I mean, some of it's going 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.119 to be a lot of it's going to be classified, 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.520 but I want to know all those details. Don't you 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:37.000 a huge success? However, that is catching lightning in a bottle. 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:39.960 Remember do you remember Trump gave that State of the 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:45.639 Union address and he well, someone was a Jdvance. I 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.480 think draped that medal of honor around that superstud the 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:53.840 helicopter pilot. Remember that that guy was shot several times 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.120 in the legs, several times. I don't know how many, 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.040 but several times. Yeah, I think he has a walker now, Chris, 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:01.760 I mean he'll probably I shouldn't say he'll probably recover. 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:06.760 Lord willing he recovers, I don't know, but well, one 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:10.879 of those bullets that goes through his legs gets about 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:14.840 a foot higher. They're given that medal to his wife. 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:20.000 That it was a huge success but could have easily 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.280 resulted in a loss of life of the hel goes down. 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:28.439 That bad things happened, but because it was such a 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.679 tremendous success, and we woke up one morning and it 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.199 felt good to know, Wow, our military is capable of 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.880 doing some really sweet things. Didn't it feel good? Felt 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:43.320 good as an American? Felt good. That kind of thing 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:49.040 can make you cocky, They can't. I mean, we'll just 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.199 fly down to Caracas and steal the president and his wife. 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.120 Then you look over at Iran and you think, to yourself, 0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.840 just took it all, took out all those dirt balls. Venezuela. 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:07.080 One night no muss, no fuss, Hey, Ayatola, we're coming. 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:11.320 Surely we can just do that again. But Iran is 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:15.359 not Venezuela, and the Straight of Horror Moves business is 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:20.000 a frigging pain. And they attacked our Trump announced this 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.760 on social media, so it's all out there now. But 0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.960 Iran launched a big attack on two of our destroyers yesterday. 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:27.560 They didn't lay a glove on them, by the grace 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.880 of God. But drones, boats, that you name it. Iran 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.720 still has weapons inside the Strait of Horror Moves, and 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.359 it is still shooting at and shooting ships in the 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.720 Strait of Horror Moves. That's why our blockade, by the way, 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:47.199 is not necessarily in the strait. It's off the strait 0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:52.320 because the Strait is a dangerous, dangerous place. That's a problem. 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:55.880 I read an article yesterday. You know there's still fifteen 0:24:56.000 --> 0:25:00.320 hundred ships stranded there. They can't get through it. Fifteen 0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:05.280 hundred ships. How much money and goods is sitting on 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.280 fifteen hundred ships just freaking park there. Remember that story 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:11.679 about the cruise ship that made a run for it. 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.040 I think they got shot at if I remember it. 0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.000 I think the Iranians shot at them, but they made 0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.720 it cruise ship. I mean you had to imagine they're 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.560 probably running out of food. Imagine going on vacation and 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:27.320
