Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show on a Friday, of course at ask Doctor
Speaker 1: Jesse Friday, and it's another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. Member,
Speaker 1: you can email us we are live here Jesse at
Speaker 1: Jesse kellyshow dot com. I already played the mud throwing
Speaker 1: poop throwing spat that happened today in the house. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if I'll play it again. It's a
Speaker 1: dagne embarrassing, but it is what it is. Let's move on,
Speaker 1: you know what. Let's step away from politics to deal
Speaker 1: with a couple of things. Military matters, veterans, suicide. Where's
Speaker 1: the worst place to fight? This guy says, dear Oracle.
Speaker 1: Regarding your hammock story, if you missed it the other night,
Speaker 1: I retold the story I've told before about my hammock
Speaker 1: exploding in the middle of the jungle and Thailand and whatever.
Speaker 1: Go download a podcasts of the show if you missed it.
Speaker 1: iHeart Spotify iTunes. Anyway, Regarding your hammock story, as you
Speaker 1: have experience of desert warfare from fighting in Iraq, was
Speaker 1: it less hellish than jungle fighting? What environment do you
Speaker 1: consider most conducive to warfare jungle, desert, temperate planes, forests
Speaker 1: of Europe and North America. Warfare is hellashawan warriors wherever
Speaker 1: they fight, But what environment would be the least hellish?
Speaker 1: My cousin, who also listens to you, wonder what life
Speaker 1: is like for you up in the sixth age stratosphere.
Speaker 1: His name is Michael. Okay. Well, first of all, being
Speaker 1: as how I'm six eight, let me just clue you
Speaker 1: in on just something, just something. Everyone has different philosophies
Speaker 1: in life. I'm not saying mine's correct about everything or
Speaker 1: really anything. Who knows, right? But I never wanted to
Speaker 1: be boring. I just don't want to be boring. Isn't
Speaker 1: that isn't that bad? I don't want to be boring.
Speaker 1: So let me tell everyone, when you see a really
Speaker 1: tall person, try the best you can not to ask
Speaker 1: them how the weather is up there, And if you
Speaker 1: can make that effort, maybe go one step further and
Speaker 1: don't ask them if you play basketball, Because it's not
Speaker 1: that you're going to offend me if you've ever said
Speaker 1: these things to me, it's just you really really need
Speaker 1: to understand how painfully unoriginal those two questions are about
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the people I get in an elevator
Speaker 1: with will ask me those two questions on our way
Speaker 1: up or down wherever we're going. Oh my gosh, how
Speaker 1: tall were you? Do you play basketball? It just comes
Speaker 1: out of people. So that part of being six eight's annoying.
Speaker 1: It's very, very annoying to have to purchase first class
Speaker 1: air travel seats. I've never traveled first class in my
Speaker 1: entire life. Our honeymoon we got upgraded for free because
Speaker 1: they found out we were on our honeymoon. It was
Speaker 1: the greatest moment of my life. And now it's gotten
Speaker 1: to the point where my right kneel. But whatever. Now
Speaker 1: I basically have to buy them if it's a long flight,
Speaker 1: and it really irks me to spend that kind of money.
Speaker 1: So that sucks. Other than that, six eates being great now.
Speaker 1: The best environment to fight a war now, I would
Speaker 1: argue the desert. And I've been doing a bunch of
Speaker 1: reading lately on Rommel, that German general Rommel in the fighting.
Speaker 1: He was fighting the Brits for a long time in
Speaker 1: Northern Africa before we ever got there, Before Patten and
Speaker 1: whatnot got there, he was fighting the Brits and the
Speaker 1: Nazis would push him back, and then the Brits would
Speaker 1: push them back, and then the Nazis would push them back.
Speaker 1: All this desert warfare training, and you would think the
Speaker 1: desert would be uniquely horrible. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: it was most definitely horrible. It was hot and miserable
Speaker 1: and it sucked. But it is fairly open. You can
Speaker 1: move around. And it depends on what kind of army
Speaker 1: you have, obviously, but if you are a mobile army
Speaker 1: that wants to move and can move, the desert is
Speaker 1: amazing because you don't have canyons and gullies and all
Speaker 1: kinds of things like that. Trees, you just don't have
Speaker 1: that stuff. Chris said, sand Well, when I say desert,
Speaker 1: I should clarify I'm not talking about sand dunes and
Speaker 1: things like that. You generally don't see a ton of
Speaker 1: fighting and that kind of you're thinking Sahara from the movies.
Speaker 1: You're thinking that Sahara desert from the movie. You generally
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of fighting there, and yes, that
Speaker 1: would be a pain, but believe me, that would suck too.
Speaker 1: The worst from I shouldn't say the worst because I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've only fought in one. I only fought
Speaker 1: in the desert. I did training in other kinds. But
Speaker 1: have you ever, how much do you know about the
Speaker 1: fighting that took place around Port Moresby in New Guinea,
Speaker 1: New Guinea? You know where New Guinea is. It's over
Speaker 1: by Australia. It's thank you, John, over by Australia. So
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into that. We're not doing
Speaker 1: a bunch of history. But you should know that it
Speaker 1: was a combination of the thickest, most horrific jungle you
Speaker 1: can imagine, and everything that came with that, the jungle disease,
Speaker 1: the poisonous animals, honestly hostile tribes that many still exist
Speaker 1: there to this day. A combination of jungle like that
Speaker 1: with mountains that are as big as the Rocky mountains
Speaker 1: the jungle. There are stories about Japanese rampant, stories about
Speaker 1: Japanese cannibalism during World War II. The environment was so
Speaker 1: horrific the men were starving so badly they started eating
Speaker 1: each other. Did you know over two hundred thousand Japanese
Speaker 1: troops died in New Guinea in World War Two? Two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. It is fighting. Most people don't even know
Speaker 1: about it. There's stories about men who would you'd be
Speaker 1: humping up and down up through the jungle, but it's
Speaker 1: straight up and down where you're on your hands and knees,
Speaker 1: you're on all fours trying to get to the top
Speaker 1: of this single jungle path. There are stories of men
Speaker 1: getting to the top and being so happy they finally
Speaker 1: made it, they would weep with joy. It sounds like
Speaker 1: a living hell. And speaking of the Japanese, you know
Speaker 1: how they were all over the place. They were in India, Java,
Speaker 1: they were obviously the Philippines. They were all over all
Speaker 1: over for the Japanese, and they wrote about it. A
Speaker 1: lot of them did. The worst place they had in
Speaker 1: their empire that they were trying to defend and take
Speaker 1: over by a mile was New Guinea. New Guinea a
Speaker 1: combination of jungle warfare with mountain warfare. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And this, what I'm about to say, is going to
Speaker 1: make a lot of people, a lot of military types
Speaker 1: probably angry. And you're welcome to argue with me about this,
Speaker 1: because this is personal opinion stuff. But I have always found,
Speaker 1: at least in my own personal dealings and in my reading,
Speaker 1: I have found mountain fighters. Mountain people to be the toughest. Genuinely,
Speaker 1: you would think it might be jungle fighters as mountain fighters,
Speaker 1: like if you, oh, please forgive me my fellow Marines.
Speaker 1: But Mountain division mm hmm, you any any unit. There
Speaker 1: are different seal units that specialize in mountain warfare. There
Speaker 1: are different depending on which group you're in, different special
Speaker 1: forces units. But the mountain warfare guys, they're always mocked
Speaker 1: their by their veteran buddies because they got the worst assignment.
Speaker 1: Because you're just hiking. You're humping up and down cluills, cliffs,
Speaker 1: it's cliffs, it's cold, it's whatever. They always get mocked
Speaker 1: for getting the worst assignment, but everyone kind of knows
Speaker 1: in the back of their head those are the toughest
Speaker 1: dudes they had. I'm so mad at myself. I can't
Speaker 1: think of it. I'm doing this on the fly. They
Speaker 1: referenced this a little bit in the HBO series Band
Speaker 1: of Brothers. But the German troops there were many different,
Speaker 1: very very elite German units, speaking of World War Two.
Speaker 1: In World War Two, there were many elite German units,
Speaker 1: and some of the most elite units would walk around
Speaker 1: with a flower. They had a flower. I want to say,
Speaker 1: is Aidelweiss a flower? I want to say it was
Speaker 1: an Adelweiss flower. That may be wrong. I'm almost pauseive
Speaker 1: that's what it is though. Either way. You had these
Speaker 1: super tough troops and there are in these you know,
Speaker 1: German army uniforms, and they would have a flower stuck
Speaker 1: in their uniform. Well what was that flower? You? There
Speaker 1: was some mountains somewhere that you had to crest, or
Speaker 1: you had to get above a certain level as part
Speaker 1: of your military training, and if you achieved to that,
Speaker 1: you that was like a mark, a serious mark of admiration.
Speaker 1: Guys would see that be like, oh crap, oh wait, crap,
Speaker 1: there's one of those guys that got the flower. It
Speaker 1: was a device, Yeah, it was right. It is Adovice anyway. Mountains,
Speaker 1: the guys who've been through the mountain trials, the mountain tribulations,
Speaker 1: there are amazing stories and I mean really really incredible stuff.
Speaker 1: The fighting in Italy was so much mountain fighting, and
Speaker 1: of course the Italians couldn't defend anything, so the Germans
Speaker 1: had to take it all over. And there are stories
Speaker 1: because you're fighting on cliffs of guys they're attaching explosives
Speaker 1: to string, and they're fighting vertically straight up or straight down,
Speaker 1: and they're essentially dropping ex explosives on strings and swinging
Speaker 1: them back and forth until they try to swing it
Speaker 1: into the cave opening. And we're talking mountain fighting like that.
Speaker 1: It's wild, it's crazy, right, mountain fighting manh No thanks,
Speaker 1: And then you combine mountain fighting with young fighting. No,
Speaker 1: I'm too old and fat. I would just die. I
Speaker 1: would just fall over and die. My back hurts just
Speaker 1: thinking about it. My back doesn't hurt because I take
Speaker 1: relief Factor, but your back probably hurts because you don't,
Speaker 1: or maybe you're still trashing your kidneys every time you
Speaker 1: get pain, leg pain, back pain, neck pain, muscle pain, pains,
Speaker 1: aches and pains come with life. But you don't have
Speaker 1: to live with it. You don't have to gut it out.
Speaker 1: You don't have to just grin and bear it. You
Speaker 1: don't have to have a bad night's sleep, you don't
Speaker 1: have to snap at your wife or your husband. Call
Speaker 1: relief Factor natural drug free, and this is how it works.
Speaker 1: You take it every day and what happens is is
Speaker 1: it builds up in your body. Your body's natural response
Speaker 1: to inflammation improves. So the next time your joints want
Speaker 1: to start bothering you, your body so fortified with natural things,
Speaker 1: the pain goes way. Call one eight hundred, the number
Speaker 1: four Relief one eight hundred, the number four relief or
Speaker 1: go to relief factor dot com. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: somebody has a speaking of all this warfare stuff. Someone
Speaker 1: has a heart for veterans and what they're going through
Speaker 1: and suicide and depression and things like that, and let's
Speaker 1: let's have a talk about that. Maybe it'll help somebody,
Speaker 1: maybe it won't. Thanks fighting for your freedom every time
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 1: on a Friday, churning through everything here on the show,
Speaker 1: I do have to get to this, so before we
Speaker 1: get to the veteran thing, So someone sends this email
Speaker 1: and showgun Oracle. My wife and I became members of
Speaker 1: Shadow Mountain Church, in case you don't know, that's in
Speaker 1: San Diego. Below is a link to their pod to
Speaker 1: their broadcasts. Sry to ask Michael to do some work,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Whether you are personally making
Speaker 1: any difference or everyone is slowly waking up, You and
Speaker 1: the other good people of the world are waking up,
Speaker 1: and the guy's name is doctor Jeremiah. I think it's
Speaker 1: doctor David Jeremiah. Yeah, doctor David Jeremiah is this guy's name.
Speaker 1: So this bastard gets up and I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: they went and pulled the guys went and pulled the
Speaker 1: audio because she said he sent a link over. I
Speaker 1: like this, dude. I'll tell you if I lived in
Speaker 1: San Diego, I know what church I've been going through.
Speaker 1: This sounds like a man after my own heart.
Speaker 2: Tremendous option. We have as parents to make a difference
Speaker 2: in the lives of our children, and if we're honest,
Speaker 2: we know that much of that difference is made in
Speaker 2: those early years. Many of the principles that we live
Speaker 2: by for all of our lives are ingrained into us
Speaker 2: when we're very small. So don't ever throw those years away.
Speaker 2: Don't ever say I'll wait until they're older. If you
Speaker 2: do that, you will have waited too long. I'm going
Speaker 2: to tell you something that's become very apparent to me,
Speaker 2: and it might not make some of you happy when
Speaker 2: I say this, but I really don't care. I'm going
Speaker 2: to say it because it's important. If you train off
Speaker 2: your children for twelve grades and send them to a
Speaker 2: private or secular school.
Speaker 1: You will regret it.
Speaker 2: You will be sorry you ever did it. I don't
Speaker 2: know one school that has not been taken over by
Speaker 2: the crazies and the communists and all the rest of
Speaker 2: the people that are filling the heads with all that's
Speaker 2: junken cause them to do what we're watching on television.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine someone you love, you train them for
Speaker 2: twelve years or twelve grades, and then you say, okay,
Speaker 2: why don't you go to Harvard. Harvard's a good school
Speaker 2: that it used to be. Not anymore. It's full of
Speaker 2: woke people who just want to destroy your children, and
Speaker 2: that will be the cause that happens. If I didn't
Speaker 2: want to embarrass some people, I could tell you the stories.
Speaker 2: There are people in this church who I love who've
Speaker 2: gone through that process, enamored with the intelligentia that's a
Speaker 2: part of the big schools with the big names, not
Speaker 2: realizing that when they send their child there their praying
Speaker 2: Russian Roulette with their soul. There are other schools to
Speaker 2: go to. There are Christian schools. There are schools where
Speaker 2: this craziness doesn't happen. I'll tell you what, if my
Speaker 2: children were at the age and getting ready to go
Speaker 2: to college, I'd never send them to Harvard or Yale
Speaker 2: or Pen.
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Might want to take those words
Speaker 1: to heart. Do you love Aiden, Jaden and Braden? And
Speaker 1: I'm glad you do love them enough to not send
Speaker 1: them to be educated by your mortal enemies. This is
Speaker 1: not nineteen sixty. Colleges are not liberal, that kind of
Speaker 1: left leaning. They are openly hostile, many of them to you,
Speaker 1: to your babies, to your belief system, to everything. Do
Speaker 1: you take your kids to the zoo and chuck them
Speaker 1: in the gorilla enclosure? I don't, so don't send them
Speaker 1: to Harvard. Oh great crayon eating Oracle. I literally, why
Speaker 1: do you guys have to do that? Met my hero today.
Speaker 1: When people say the heroes of the past wars don't exist,
Speaker 1: I just want to say they still exist. I met
Speaker 1: and talked to Marcus Marcus Latrelle, aka the Loan Survivor.
Speaker 1: He was talking about veterans' suicide. My mentality is completely
Speaker 1: changed after hearing him talk. Thankfully, it's a commercial, so
Speaker 1: hopefully all of America can hear what he has to say.
Speaker 1: But my question is, how do you recommend helping veterans.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about bringing some veterans on and letting
Speaker 1: them talk about the transition to civilian life to help
Speaker 1: us non military understand we might all need some chock
Speaker 1: to get through this. You're welcome for the transition. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you about chock right now. But look, first,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to speak for all veterans. I'm not
Speaker 1: some veteran's voice out there where I and every veteran
Speaker 1: and how they all feel. I can simply tell you
Speaker 1: about me, how I felt, how I feel, and how
Speaker 1: many of the guys I served with how they felt
Speaker 1: and feel, depending on whether they're still alive or not. First,
Speaker 1: and foremost, when you sign up to join the military
Speaker 1: as a young man, you do so oftentimes. Yes, you
Speaker 1: want to serve your country, you want to better yourself.
Speaker 1: That both those things were true of me. Also, this
Speaker 1: was true of me. I wanted some adventure. I want
Speaker 1: an adventure. Young men, much of their mother's chagrin, young
Speaker 1: men crave a little bit of danger. They do. They do.
Speaker 1: It's how God made us. It's why they always march
Speaker 1: off to war. Who marches off towards the young men.
Speaker 1: It just it's their thing, it's our thing. It's what
Speaker 1: we do. Well, I shouldn't say our. I'm not a
Speaker 1: young man anymore anyway, but it's what we do. And
Speaker 1: what happens is you join the military. I'll just make
Speaker 1: it about the Marines, and they're going to grow you
Speaker 1: up fast and you're going to find yourself very quickly.
Speaker 1: At least I can only speak from my experience in
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps. You are going to find yourself quickly
Speaker 1: within a year or two, unless you're a turd or something.
Speaker 1: You're going to be in a leadership position, a revered
Speaker 1: leadership position where men under you must follow your orders
Speaker 1: to the letter and they will. You are trusted with things, weapons, equipment, ammunition.
Speaker 1: You are given incredible responsibilities over things you are and
Speaker 1: I hate putting it this way, but I am. I'm
Speaker 1: just going to tell you you're important, and you feel important,
Speaker 1: you feel significant, you matter, and you do. I at gosh,
Speaker 1: I was twenty one or I was twenty two. I
Speaker 1: think I was twenty two years old, and I was
Speaker 1: in charge of ten men in combat. I was our
Speaker 1: mortar section leader. By the time we left Iraq. It
Speaker 1: was my section. I was a section leader. Ten men,
Speaker 1: life or death mine. We're going out on a patrol
Speaker 1: at night, me another NCO. You're leading the patrol. We're
Speaker 1: in charge at twenty two. And then I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the other half of the story. Before i tell you that.
Speaker 1: Let me do this really quickly here. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you about what's happening with our money. It's not only bad,
Speaker 1: it's getting worse. And we keep previewing things about inflation
Speaker 1: and interest rates, and have you noticed something that they
Speaker 1: keep saying things like, well, next year, the interest on
Speaker 1: the debt's going to cost more than the military. And now,
Speaker 1: because everything keeps going the wrong way, they're saying, well,
Speaker 1: never mind, that's going to actually be this year too.
Speaker 1: Things are not going the right direction monetarily. So we
Speaker 1: have to do things to protect ourselves. Getting some precious
Speaker 1: metals in your hands and in your retirement is a
Speaker 1: basic way to do that. Not going crazy, doing some basics.
Speaker 1: Just do some basics, the little things. Oxford Gold Group
Speaker 1: will do these things for you. They will mail it
Speaker 1: to your front door. It's anonymous, it's insured. You don't
Speaker 1: need a bank vault. We're just talking little coins here.
Speaker 1: They'll get it in your retirement account and they'll make
Speaker 1: it easy. Eight three three nine gold, let's talk about
Speaker 1: this veteran stuff. Hang on, he doesn't care if you
Speaker 1: believe him, but he's right. Jesse Kelly, it is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse
Speaker 1: Friday reminding you you can email the show and you
Speaker 1: should Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So before we
Speaker 1: get back to the politics, someone wants to talk about
Speaker 1: spending and this Biden Trump debate and many other things.
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, we're talking a little bit
Speaker 1: about veterans and veterans suicide and things like that. And
Speaker 1: I was just kind of going over how it feels. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're young, you sign up, you go fight, because
Speaker 1: the guys who are struggling with depression and suicide, of
Speaker 1: the guys who went over and fall, you go over
Speaker 1: and you fight, and you're important. I really want to
Speaker 1: stress that you're important. You remember you ever see that
Speaker 1: movie First Blood? The first Rambo? Everyone thinks it's called Rambo,
Speaker 1: but it's called First Blood. You ever see First Blood?
Speaker 1: Most people have seen First Blood. If you haven't he's
Speaker 1: this green beret who comes back from Vietnam and gets harassed. Whatever.
Speaker 1: It's a great movie, how they recommend it. But at
Speaker 1: the end, at the end, when his buddy's trying to
Speaker 1: get him to turn himself in, he starts screaming about
Speaker 1: I am mattered. I was important. I was in charge
Speaker 1: of million dollar equipment, and now I can't even find
Speaker 1: a job parking cards for the guys I serve with.
Speaker 1: For some of the guys I serve with, it wasn't
Speaker 1: just the explosions and the blood and whatever. Was you
Speaker 1: come back from that? Remember I told you I was
Speaker 1: a mortar section leader, and I wasn't a good one. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not bragging, believe me. But I was in charge
Speaker 1: of the section. Ten men under my command. They're under
Speaker 1: my charge in Afghanistan. At twenty two, I am a leader.
Speaker 1: When the leader of our company, he wants something done,
Speaker 1: calls in the NCOs I'm one of them, I'm standing
Speaker 1: there in a small circle. You do this, and you're important.
Speaker 1: Twenty two, you come back, you get out. You're not
Speaker 1: the same. Now, I would argue that you're you probably
Speaker 1: have prioritized the wrong things, but you think about this.
Speaker 1: I want you to think about this, and what I'm
Speaker 1: about to say is no insult, no insult to blue
Speaker 1: collar workers or whatever. But I went and did construction
Speaker 1: when I got back. Okay, so I was twenty two
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes ago, I was twenty two years old leading
Speaker 1: men on night patrols in Baghdad. At one point in time,
Speaker 1: we were on a night with green berets in the
Speaker 1: night in Bagdad with mvgs on fifteen minutes later. I'm
Speaker 1: not only on a construction crew. I'm pretty much the
Speaker 1: low man on the construction crew. And if somebody needs
Speaker 1: the trash picked up, Kelly, pick up the trash. That's hard.
Speaker 1: I cannot speak for women. I will not speak for
Speaker 1: a women for men. We have this picture in our minds.
Speaker 1: I certainly did I do. I'm no different, not separating
Speaker 1: myself from this. Where throughout life our rank in society
Speaker 1: or place in society, I don't know how I want
Speaker 1: to put that. We just assume it's going to slowly
Speaker 1: and steadily go up. Yeah, you'll have this entry level job,
Speaker 1: but then you'll keep your nose to the grindstone and
Speaker 1: you'll work your way up and soon you'll be in management.
Speaker 1: Maybe one day you'll start your own business. Hey, look
Speaker 1: at that, I'm fifty years old. I bought a Mercedes.
Speaker 1: Hey i'm fifty five. I fly for his class. Oh
Speaker 1: we have a beach house now at sixty. Oh, I
Speaker 1: retire one day and my wife and I are very
Speaker 1: comfortable down in boc over tone. You just have this
Speaker 1: picture in your head that you're slowly and surely in
Speaker 1: your life. If it was one of those charts, it
Speaker 1: would just slowly but surely you hit it, be heading
Speaker 1: up up, up, up, up up up. But you go
Speaker 1: do combat, all this responsibility, all this adventure, and you
Speaker 1: come back and it doesn't feel like you went up.
Speaker 1: It feels like now all that was for not and
Speaker 1: you're not really anybody anymore. That hurts. I will tell
Speaker 1: you it affected me, it did. It bothered me a lot.
Speaker 1: The noises bothered me a lot. To this day. I
Speaker 1: actually do not do that great with loud noises. I'm fine,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hide under the desk
Speaker 1: and cry if a balloon pops. But I will tell
Speaker 1: you if if Chris and Michael were to actually do
Speaker 1: something nice for me, for once, for my birthday or
Speaker 1: something and blow up a bunch of balloons and put
Speaker 1: them in the studio, and then they started popping the balloons.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't cry or scream or yell, but
Speaker 1: I would find an excuse to leave. Hey, guys, I
Speaker 1: gotta run to the story. You need anything. I would
Speaker 1: not do well with that. I just wouldn't. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do well with it. I still prefer the dark, ever,
Speaker 1: sitting in the light. I just if I'm alone at
Speaker 1: home there are no lights on. Ever, I like it
Speaker 1: in the dark. I don't know why. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's wrong with me, and I am not putting myself
Speaker 1: in the shoes of other guys who I mean, I
Speaker 1: never had to hold my best friend and watch him die.
Speaker 1: When you're a young man and you go through all that,
Speaker 1: you can get yourself so twisted up and lost and
Speaker 1: messed up, and then what else do you do? And
Speaker 1: I did this too, is you turn to drugs or alcohol.
Speaker 1: I didn't do the drugs, but booze, it's just drinking
Speaker 1: all the time, just drinking and drinking and drinking. And
Speaker 1: then it came back to me later on in life,
Speaker 1: after I've shaken it drink and drink and drinking, and
Speaker 1: finally ended up conquering those demons by the grace of God,
Speaker 1: and only by the grace of God. But that makes
Speaker 1: it worse. So they go through all these things, and
Speaker 1: what it really comes down to, what a lot of
Speaker 1: it comes down to, is guys will convince themselves. Men
Speaker 1: will convince themselves that that awesome, admirable thing they did,
Speaker 1: that it's the last great thing they'll ever do. There
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they were twenty two and important.
Speaker 1: Now they're twenty five and they're a garbage man. Not
Speaker 1: that there's a daggun thing in the world wrong with
Speaker 1: being a garbage man, but you're a garbage man, or
Speaker 1: you're on a construction crew like I was, or you're
Speaker 1: backing groceries or whatever you're doing, and you feel like, well, crap, man,
Speaker 1: my friends are dead, I'm all messed up. I drink
Speaker 1: too much. I just did the last great thing I'm
Speaker 1: ever gonna do. Hey, I'm checking out. That is why
Speaker 1: when I talk to veterans, I practically scream this from
Speaker 1: the rooftop. And if you're one of those guys listening
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm sure there are more than one.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, you did do something incredible. You did
Speaker 1: you should be proud of it, and on the resume
Speaker 1: of your life. Believe me, that's going to stand out
Speaker 1: to people. Your kids one day will admire it. To
Speaker 1: this day. My old dress blues and the Marines, they
Speaker 1: hang up high in my clause and I don't put
Speaker 1: them on, but my boys will look at them. My
Speaker 1: boys will talk. I mean, that's dad. Well look at
Speaker 1: that ribbons and stead. I mean for them, it's cool.
Speaker 1: But it is not the last good thing you have
Speaker 1: to do in this life. It's a thing good. You did,
Speaker 1: a great thing. You put it on your resume. God's
Speaker 1: not done with you yet. I promise you cross my
Speaker 1: heart and hope to die when your time is up.
Speaker 1: Your time is up. No need to rush it. There
Speaker 1: was a show. I'm gonna move on to other things.
Speaker 1: This can get a little heavy, so move on to
Speaker 1: talk about politics and spending and debates and things like that.
Speaker 1: But there was a show I never watched in its completion.
Speaker 1: I've had people ask me if you watched it. But
Speaker 1: it was called Generation Kill. I believe it was on HBO.
Speaker 1: But Generation Kill. It was about our generation and the
Speaker 1: fighting and everything, and there was one young man who,
Speaker 1: by all accounts, he just looked like a wonderful young
Speaker 1: marine and just looked like a solid dude. And they're
Speaker 1: interviewing him one night, and he's sitting there and there's
Speaker 1: explosions going on around him, and he's talking about how
Speaker 1: he's just ready to be out, he's ready to be done,
Speaker 1: can't wait to get back home like any other young man. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to get back home and see my woman
Speaker 1: and need a hot meal. And I went in and
Speaker 1: then something blows up behind him and he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: tired of that too. And I remember watching it, and
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, man, I really hope that guy makes
Speaker 1: it back. I hope he makes it. I hope he
Speaker 1: makes it back. And I hope. I hope he has
Speaker 1: a wife one day and ten kids running around, and
Speaker 1: you know, Bill's stacking up of course, and stresses of life.
Speaker 1: But I hope, you know he's there, he's doing it.
Speaker 1: He's awesome, he's brave, he's a good dude. I hope
Speaker 1: he makes it. He oded about two months after, or
Speaker 1: two years, two or three years after that little footage
Speaker 1: was shot. He overdosed. He's gone. Now, gentlemen, don't check
Speaker 1: out on us, all right? And as let me just
Speaker 1: say this, as I've said many times, there are a
Speaker 1: million suicide hotlines you can call if you are somebody
Speaker 1: and you are in need, or that you are the
Speaker 1: wife of somebody in need that are probably wise listening
Speaker 1: right now whose husbands may be going through this. If
Speaker 1: there's a problem, you reach out to me. You understand,
Speaker 1: Send me an email to the show. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: we can work miracles, but I do know some people. Okay,

Speaker 1: We don't delete those all right. All right, enough of
Speaker 1: that talk about politics? You ready to talk about politics? Now?
Speaker 1: We have debates? So are they gonna dump Biden? What
Speaker 1: do we have to cut out of the federal government?
Speaker 1: To all kinds of things? Still to come home, schooling
Speaker 1: and more? Next, miss something? There's a pot get it
Speaker 1: on demand wherever podcasts are found. The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and
Speaker 1: ask doctor Jesse Friday. And before we get into this
Speaker 1: deficit debt situation, email that I'm about to read here.
Speaker 1: I think it's been far too long since we've heard
Speaker 1: from the Freedo Bandito.
Speaker 3: A Yai yai Yai. I am the Frinto Bandito, Reggy.
Speaker 3: I like Rinto stornchips.
Speaker 4: I love them.
Speaker 3: I do I want Printo scornchits.
Speaker 4: I'll get them from you.
Speaker 3: I yi yai yi oh imd Fritto Buntito, give me
Speaker 3: Brito scornchips and I'll be your friends. De fritto Buntito,
Speaker 3: you must not up in unch munch a bunch.
Speaker 1: Of dear oracle of oratory opulence. I would fully support
Speaker 1: your dictatorship and hutting almost all the federal government, But realistically,
Speaker 1: how much of the government and it's spending would you
Speaker 1: have to cut in order to start making a debt
Speaker 1: in our national deficit and start running in the black again?
Speaker 1: Do you know or know someone it's an economist, so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. As name is Tony, and we
Speaker 1: can dig into this more. If it's something that we
Speaker 1: really want to get into the details of, we can
Speaker 1: have on more budget experts. But let's just let's think
Speaker 1: of it this way. Okay. So we're running now regularly
Speaker 1: over a trillion dollar deficits. Now, remember, deficit and debt
Speaker 1: are different things. Just for all the kids out there.
Speaker 1: A deficit that's how much yearly you spend more than
Speaker 1: you take in. So if I take in three trillion,
Speaker 1: I spend four trillion, we have a one trillion dollar
Speaker 1: deficit that year. The debt is different. The debt is
Speaker 1: all of the deficits we've ever accumulated, all of our debt,
Speaker 1: all lumped into one. Deficit is your yearly overspending. Debt
Speaker 1: is your lifetime overspending. Okay, so here's why our situation
Speaker 1: is so brutal and so scary. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: it's not only that we spend far more than we
Speaker 1: take in. Now, it's that the government because politicians never
Speaker 1: want to have to make hard choices. That's the last
Speaker 1: thing a politician wants to do. A politician never wants
Speaker 1: to go to the voters and say, sorry, I've got
Speaker 1: to cut you off from this. I've got to take
Speaker 1: away this that you're used to. Politicians love to give
Speaker 1: away things. Vote for me, I'll give you this, vote
Speaker 1: for me, I'll give you that. Because of that, over
Speaker 1: the years, what they've done is have you ever heard
Speaker 1: the terms discretionary spending or non discretionary spending. Let me
Speaker 1: just go ahead and simply this for everybody. What they've
Speaker 1: done is they've made most of our spending mandatory mandatory,
Speaker 1: meaning no matter what Congress does, it goes through period,
Speaker 1: end of story. They've done that with the gigantic popular
Speaker 1: entitlements that everyone loves. I'm honestly, I'm done wasting my
Speaker 1: breath on it. I'm just gonna wait till they go bankrupt,
Speaker 1: and then I'll come on here on the radio, very
Speaker 1: obnoxiously and tell everyone I told you so. I've accepted
Speaker 1: the left and the right. They love Medicare and Social Security.
Speaker 1: They believe they'll be there forever. You're gonna get a
Speaker 1: whole bunch ironed it stuff, and then it's gonna collapse
Speaker 1: the United States of America. And I'll just sit there
Speaker 1: and trug my shoulders and say, I told you so,
Speaker 1: so I'm not wasting my breath on that again. But
Speaker 1: that's one great example. If a politician, any politician, even
Speaker 1: hints that we have to adjust these programs before they
Speaker 1: end America, that politician will probably lose his seat in office.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm sitting here today talking to you on
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show, and I'm not a member of Congress.
Speaker 1: Is social Security? I went on camera and I said,
Speaker 1: it is the largest Ponzi scheme in human history, which
Speaker 1: it obviously is by any definition, and we have to
Speaker 1: take steps to phase it out and privatize it. That's
Speaker 1: what I said. That is the reason I lost in
Speaker 1: a Tea party year by four thousand votes. I can't
Speaker 1: tell you how many Republican old people came up to
Speaker 1: me and told me they voted for my Democrat opponent
Speaker 1: because of the commercials she ran on social Security. Any
Speaker 1: politician who speaks about those issues in an honest way
Speaker 1: will lose their seat in Congress Monday when I show up, what,
Speaker 1: Chris All, you have it? I'll go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Is jesse Kelly listening to you? Was jesse Kelly listening
Speaker 4: to you when he said on Social Security, I'd love
Speaker 4: to eliminate the program jesse Kelly said he would work
Speaker 4: to eliminate Medicare over time. Was he listening to you?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 4: How about when Jesse Kelly said, at the same time
Speaker 4: he'd cut taxes in half for millionaires. Is Jesse Kelly
Speaker 4: listening to you? Just listen to Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1: We didn't make that up. Chris pulled that. It's still
Speaker 1: available on YouTube. That was an ad on the television
Speaker 1: set when you sat down. When I was running for
Speaker 1: Congress in Arizona, people would watch that cost me my race.
Speaker 1: I'm not mad about it. I'd much rather be here.
Speaker 1: But because the voters love those programs and that's going
Speaker 1: to end the country. The politicians know that. So what
Speaker 1: they've done is they've taken it's not just those programs,
Speaker 1: it's other things, and they make it mandatory so they
Speaker 1: can then go to the voters and say, I can't
Speaker 1: do anything about it. All this is mandatory. We have
Speaker 1: realized this. The money we spend over eighty percent of it,
Speaker 1: over eighty percent of it is mandatory. It would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me explain. Let's say I made one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year and we were spending two hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Oh my gosh, we're going to go broke, right, Oh,
Speaker 1: problems in the Kelly household. I'm making one hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: I'm spending two hundred thousand. But through some weird thing
Speaker 1: I've written into law, that it's a requirement that I
Speaker 1: spend one hundred and seventy thousand. So can I ever
Speaker 1: save myself if, no matter what, it's written into law
Speaker 1: that I spend far more than I'll ever take in,
Speaker 1: it's not problem. They've made it a situation where it's
Speaker 1: not legally possible to save the financial system. Does this why,
Speaker 1: I tell you all the time, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you write the debt ship. I just thought there's no
Speaker 1: appetite for it in the country, and there won't be
Speaker 1: until the social Security checks stop coming, and they will
Speaker 1: until Medicare stops being accepted, and it will until we
Speaker 1: have collapse of these systems, and they will collapse because
Speaker 1: no one wants to reform them, no one wants to
Speaker 1: adjust them. Everyone wants to just promise handouts. So to
Speaker 1: answer your question, we would have to You would have
Speaker 1: to cut spending in half at least to eliminate the
Speaker 1: deficit in this country, to truly eliminate the deficit. Now,
Speaker 1: you can do that any way you want. Go look
Speaker 1: at a pie chart of the government. Cut this, cut
Speaker 1: that little here, little there. Ideally, you do this stuff
Speaker 1: in phases so you're not destroying people. But you want
Speaker 1: to stop running a deficit, That's what it would take.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Joe Biden getting bounced at
Speaker 1: the convention, homeschooling, and so much more. But first let's
Speaker 1: talk about my pillow. Like, as long as there's going
Speaker 1: to be a debt bomb that drops on us, at
Speaker 1: least our feet can be comfortable because of my pillow sandals.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard everyone's heard of my pillow pillows.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna set those aside right now. My pillows sandals.
