I already played the mud throwing 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.280 poop throwing spat that happened today in the house. I 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:37.960 don't even know if I'll play it again. It's a 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.120 dagne embarrassing, but it is what it is. Let's move on, 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.239 you know what. Let's step away from politics to deal 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.800 with a couple of things. Military matters, veterans, suicide. Where's 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.040 the worst place to fight? This guy says, dear Oracle. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.400 Regarding your hammock story, if you missed it the other night, 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.240 I retold the story I've told before about my hammock 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.920 exploding in the middle of the jungle and Thailand and whatever. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.720 Go download a podcasts of the show if you missed it. 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:08.440 iHeart Spotify iTunes. Anyway, Regarding your hammock story, as you 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.160 have experience of desert warfare from fighting in Iraq, was 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.120 it less hellish than jungle fighting? What environment do you 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:22.759 consider most conducive to warfare jungle, desert, temperate planes, forests 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.759 of Europe and North America. Warfare is hellashawan warriors wherever 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.480 they fight, But what environment would be the least hellish? 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.240 My cousin, who also listens to you, wonder what life 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.680 is like for you up in the sixth age stratosphere. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.120 His name is Michael. Okay. Well, first of all, being 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.840 as how I'm six eight, let me just clue you 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.840 in on just something, just something. Everyone has different philosophies 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.040 in life. I'm not saying mine's correct about everything or 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.000 really anything. Who knows, right? But I never wanted to 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.520 be boring. I just don't want to be boring. Isn't 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.440 that isn't that bad? I don't want to be boring. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.920 So let me tell everyone, when you see a really 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:13.800 tall person, try the best you can not to ask 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.800 them how the weather is up there, And if you 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.400 can make that effort, maybe go one step further and 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.760 don't ask them if you play basketball, Because it's not 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.800 that you're going to offend me if you've ever said 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.200 these things to me, it's just you really really need 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:38.040 to understand how painfully unoriginal those two questions are about 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.720 ninety percent of the people I get in an elevator 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.720 with will ask me those two questions on our way 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.760 up or down wherever we're going. Oh my gosh, how 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.359 tall were you? Do you play basketball? It just comes 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.639 out of people. So that part of being six eight's annoying. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.840 It's very, very annoying to have to purchase first class 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.160 air travel seats. I've never traveled first class in my 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.160 entire life. Our honeymoon we got upgraded for free because 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.720 they found out we were on our honeymoon. It was 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.359 the greatest moment of my life. And now it's gotten 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.919 to the point where my right kneel. But whatever. Now 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.239 I basically have to buy them if it's a long flight, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.400 and it really irks me to spend that kind of money. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:19.400 So that sucks. Other than that, six eates being great now. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.720 The best environment to fight a war now, I would 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.160 argue the desert. And I've been doing a bunch of 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.600 reading lately on Rommel, that German general Rommel in the fighting. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.840 He was fighting the Brits for a long time in 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.560 Northern Africa before we ever got there, Before Patten and 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.480 whatnot got there, he was fighting the Brits and the 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.440 Nazis would push him back, and then the Brits would 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.400 push them back, and then the Nazis would push them back. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.640 All this desert warfare training, and you would think the 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.760 desert would be uniquely horrible. And don't get me wrong, 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.560 it was most definitely horrible. It was hot and miserable 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.400 and it sucked. But it is fairly open. You can 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.160 move around. And it depends on what kind of army 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.960 you have, obviously, but if you are a mobile army 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.440 that wants to move and can move, the desert is 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.480 amazing because you don't have canyons and gullies and all 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.680 kinds of things like that. Trees, you just don't have 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.039 that stuff. Chris said, sand Well, when I say desert, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.720 I should clarify I'm not talking about sand dunes and 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.200 things like that. You generally don't see a ton of 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.839 fighting and that kind of you're thinking Sahara from the movies. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.119 You're thinking that Sahara desert from the movie. You generally 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.039 don't see a lot of fighting there, and yes, that 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.560 would be a pain, but believe me, that would suck too. 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:43.039 The worst from I shouldn't say the worst because I 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.040 don't know. I've only fought in one. I only fought 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.599 in the desert. I did training in other kinds. But 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.640 have you ever, how much do you know about the 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:57.000 fighting that took place around Port Moresby in New Guinea, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.120 New Guinea? You know where New Guinea is. It's over 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.720 by Australia. It's thank you, John, over by Australia. So 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.080 I'm not going to go into that. We're not doing 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.680 a bunch of history. But you should know that it 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:14.560 was a combination of the thickest, most horrific jungle you 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.479 can imagine, and everything that came with that, the jungle disease, 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.720 the poisonous animals, honestly hostile tribes that many still exist 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.800 there to this day. A combination of jungle like that 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.560 with mountains that are as big as the Rocky mountains 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:38.320 the jungle. There are stories about Japanese rampant, stories about 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:43.479 Japanese cannibalism during World War II. The environment was so 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:48.000 horrific the men were starving so badly they started eating 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.320 each other. Did you know over two hundred thousand Japanese 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.719 troops died in New Guinea in World War Two? Two 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.600 hundred thousand. It is fighting. Most people don't even know 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.039 about it. There's stories about men who would you'd be 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.279 humping up and down up through the jungle, but it's 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.600 straight up and down where you're on your hands and knees, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.599 you're on all fours trying to get to the top 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.320 of this single jungle path. There are stories of men 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.719 getting to the top and being so happy they finally 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:23.800 made it, they would weep with joy. It sounds like 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320 a living hell. And speaking of the Japanese, you know 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.520 how they were all over the place. They were in India, Java, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.960 they were obviously the Philippines. They were all over all 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.160 over for the Japanese, and they wrote about it. A 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.640 lot of them did. The worst place they had in 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.960 their empire that they were trying to defend and take 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.839 over by a mile was New Guinea. New Guinea a 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:55.239 combination of jungle warfare with mountain warfare. Oh my gosh. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.240 And this, what I'm about to say, is going to 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.320 make a lot of people, a lot of military types 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.680 probably angry. And you're welcome to argue with me about this, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:09.200 because this is personal opinion stuff. But I have always found, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.080 at least in my own personal dealings and in my reading, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:22.240 I have found mountain fighters. Mountain people to be the toughest. Genuinely, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.280 you would think it might be jungle fighters as mountain fighters, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.000 like if you, oh, please forgive me my fellow Marines. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:36.760 But Mountain division mm hmm, you any any unit. There 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.640 are different seal units that specialize in mountain warfare. There 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.520 are different depending on which group you're in, different special 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:48.760 forces units. But the mountain warfare guys, they're always mocked 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.560 their by their veteran buddies because they got the worst assignment. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.840 Because you're just hiking. You're humping up and down cluills, cliffs, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.600 it's cliffs, it's cold, it's whatever. They always get mocked 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.320 for getting the worst assignment, but everyone kind of knows 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.720 in the back of their head those are the toughest 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:09.120 dudes they had. I'm so mad at myself. I can't 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.680 think of it. I'm doing this on the fly. They 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.440 referenced this a little bit in the HBO series Band 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.440 of Brothers. But the German troops there were many different, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.120 very very elite German units, speaking of World War Two. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.960 In World War Two, there were many elite German units, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.760 and some of the most elite units would walk around 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.760 with a flower. They had a flower. I want to say, 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.800 is Aidelweiss a flower? I want to say it was 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.520 an Adelweiss flower. That may be wrong. I'm almost pauseive 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.800 that's what it is though. Either way. You had these 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.800 super tough troops and there are in these you know, 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.120 German army uniforms, and they would have a flower stuck 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.240 in their uniform. Well what was that flower? You? There 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.640 was some mountains somewhere that you had to crest, or 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.360 you had to get above a certain level as part 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:00.400 of your military training, and if you achieved to that, 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.360 you that was like a mark, a serious mark of admiration. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.800 Guys would see that be like, oh crap, oh wait, crap, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.959 there's one of those guys that got the flower. It 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.719 was a device, Yeah, it was right. It is Adovice anyway. Mountains, 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.200 the guys who've been through the mountain trials, the mountain tribulations, 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.560 there are amazing stories and I mean really really incredible stuff. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.520 The fighting in Italy was so much mountain fighting, and 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.920 of course the Italians couldn't defend anything, so the Germans 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.760 had to take it all over. And there are stories 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.920 because you're fighting on cliffs of guys they're attaching explosives 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.560 to string, and they're fighting vertically straight up or straight down, 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.640 and they're essentially dropping ex explosives on strings and swinging 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.120 them back and forth until they try to swing it 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.320 into the cave opening. And we're talking mountain fighting like that. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:58.120 It's wild, it's crazy, right, mountain fighting manh No thanks, 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.240 And then you combine mountain fighting with young fighting. No, 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.719 I'm too old and fat. I would just die. I 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.880 would just fall over and die. My back hurts just 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.120 thinking about it. My back doesn't hurt because I take 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.160 relief Factor, but your back probably hurts because you don't, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.760 or maybe you're still trashing your kidneys every time you 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:24.640 get pain, leg pain, back pain, neck pain, muscle pain, pains, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.040 aches and pains come with life. But you don't have 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.439 to live with it. You don't have to gut it out. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.120 You don't have to just grin and bear it. You 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.640 don't have to have a bad night's sleep, you don't 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.720 have to snap at your wife or your husband.

All right, all right, 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.960 somebody has a speaking of all this warfare stuff. Someone 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.800 has a heart for veterans and what they're going through 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.560 and suicide and depression and things like that, and let's 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.840 let's have a talk about that. Maybe it'll help somebody, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.719 maybe it won't. Thanks fighting for your freedom every time 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:38.000 the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.560 on a Friday, churning through everything here on the show, 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.080 I do have to get to this, so before we 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.840 get to the veteran thing, So someone sends this email 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.439 and showgun Oracle. My wife and I became members of 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.720 Shadow Mountain Church, in case you don't know, that's in 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.960 San Diego. Below is a link to their pod to 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.480 their broadcasts. Sry to ask Michael to do some work, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.839 so on and so forth. Whether you are personally making 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.840 any difference or everyone is slowly waking up, You and 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.400 the other good people of the world are waking up, 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:15.040 and the guy's name is doctor Jeremiah. I think it's 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.320 doctor David Jeremiah. Yeah, doctor David Jeremiah is this guy's name. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.280 So this bastard gets up and I gotta tell you 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.840 they went and pulled the guys went and pulled the 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.200 audio because she said he sent a link over. I 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.320 like this, dude. I'll tell you if I lived in 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.640 San Diego, I know what church I've been going through. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.199 This sounds like a man after my own heart. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.120 Tremendous option. We have as parents to make a difference 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.800 in the lives of our children, and if we're honest, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.800 we know that much of that difference is made in 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.920 those early years. Many of the principles that we live 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.559 by for all of our lives are ingrained into us 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.199 when we're very small. So don't ever throw those years away. 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.760 Don't ever say I'll wait until they're older. If you 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.520 do that, you will have waited too long. I'm going 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.800 to tell you something that's become very apparent to me, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.160 and it might not make some of you happy when 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.960 I say this, but I really don't care. I'm going 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.079 to say it because it's important. If you train off 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:14.000 your children for twelve grades and send them to a 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.960 private or secular school. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.080 You will regret it. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.960 You will be sorry you ever did it. I don't 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.240 know one school that has not been taken over by 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.680 the crazies and the communists and all the rest of 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.920 the people that are filling the heads with all that's 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.800 junken cause them to do what we're watching on television. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.840 I can't imagine someone you love, you train them for 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.760 twelve years or twelve grades, and then you say, okay, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.160 why don't you go to Harvard. Harvard's a good school 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.400 that it used to be. Not anymore. It's full of 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.960 woke people who just want to destroy your children, and 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.920 that will be the cause that happens. If I didn't 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.280 want to embarrass some people, I could tell you the stories. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.439 There are people in this church who I love who've 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:03.560 gone through that process, enamored with the intelligentia that's a 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.800 part of the big schools with the big names, not 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.360 realizing that when they send their child there their praying 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.200 Russian Roulette with their soul. There are other schools to 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.880 go to. There are Christian schools. There are schools where 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.760 this craziness doesn't happen. I'll tell you what, if my 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.440 children were at the age and getting ready to go 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.280 to college, I'd never send them to Harvard or Yale 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:24.760 or Pen. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.040 I love this guy. Might want to take those words 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.200 to heart. Do you love Aiden, Jaden and Braden? And 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:37.480 I'm glad you do love them enough to not send 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:42.120 them to be educated by your mortal enemies. This is 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:47.640 not nineteen sixty. Colleges are not liberal, that kind of 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:53.720 left leaning. They are openly hostile, many of them to you, 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.840 to your babies, to your belief system, to everything. Do 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.880 you take your kids to the zoo and chuck them 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.200 in the gorilla enclosure? I don't, so don't send them 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.320 to Harvard. Oh great crayon eating Oracle. I literally, why 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.240 do you guys have to do that? Met my hero today. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.000 When people say the heroes of the past wars don't exist, 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.720 I just want to say they still exist. I met 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.960 and talked to Marcus Marcus Latrelle, aka the Loan Survivor. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.400 He was talking about veterans' suicide. My mentality is completely 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.600 changed after hearing him talk. Thankfully, it's a commercial, so 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.160 hopefully all of America can hear what he has to say. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.920 But my question is, how do you recommend helping veterans. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.640 Have you thought about bringing some veterans on and letting 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.320 them talk about the transition to civilian life to help 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.280 us non military understand we might all need some chock 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.400 to get through this. You're welcome for the transition. No, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:53.120 I'm not gonna tell you about chock right now. But look, first, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.760 I'm not going to speak for all veterans. I'm not 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.160 some veteran's voice out there where I and every veteran 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.400 and how they all feel. I can simply tell you 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:09.480 about me, how I felt, how I feel, and how 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.320 many of the guys I served with how they felt 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.960 and feel, depending on whether they're still alive or not. First, 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:23.160 and foremost, when you sign up to join the military 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.120 as a young man, you do so oftentimes. Yes, you 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.360 want to serve your country, you want to better yourself. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.560 That both those things were true of me. Also, this 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.080 was true of me. I wanted some adventure. I want 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:42.280 an adventure. Young men, much of their mother's chagrin, young 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.480 men crave a little bit of danger. They do. They do. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.840 It's how God made us. It's why they always march 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.080 off to war. Who marches off towards the young men. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.680 It just it's their thing, it's our thing. It's what 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.080 we do. Well, I shouldn't say our. I'm not a 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.080 young man anymore anyway, but it's what we do. And 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.760 what happens is you join the military. I'll just make 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.920 it about the Marines, and they're going to grow you 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:12.919 up fast and you're going to find yourself very quickly. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.280 At least I can only speak from my experience in 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.680 the Marine Corps. You are going to find yourself quickly 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.280 within a year or two, unless you're a turd or something. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:27.040 You're going to be in a leadership position, a revered 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.080 leadership position where men under you must follow your orders 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:38.800 to the letter and they will. You are trusted with things, weapons, equipment, ammunition. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:45.959 You are given incredible responsibilities over things you are and 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.200 I hate putting it this way, but I am. I'm 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:55.160 just going to tell you you're important, and you feel important, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:18:01.679 you feel significant, you matter, and you do. I at gosh, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.320 I was twenty one or I was twenty two. I 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.280 think I was twenty two years old, and I was 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.359 in charge of ten men in combat. I was our 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.600 mortar section leader. By the time we left Iraq. It 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.000 was my section. I was a section leader. Ten men, 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.000 life or death mine. We're going out on a patrol 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.320 at night, me another NCO. You're leading the patrol. We're 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.879 in charge at twenty two. And then I'll tell you 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:27.639 the other half of the story. Before i tell you that. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.600 Let me do this really quickly here. Let me tell 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:36.600 you about what's happening with our money. It's not only bad, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.040 it's getting worse. And we keep previewing things about inflation 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.800 and interest rates, and have you noticed something that they 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.520 keep saying things like, well, next year, the interest on 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.840 the debt's going to cost more than the military. And now, 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.560 because everything keeps going the wrong way, they're saying, well, 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.520 never mind, that's going to actually be this year too. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.480 Things are not going the right direction monetarily. So we 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:05.600 have to do things to protect ourselves. Getting some precious 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.600 metals in your hands and in your retirement is a 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.800 basic way to do that. Not going crazy, doing some basics. 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.120 Just do some basics, the little things. Oxford Gold Group 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.359 will do these things for you. They will mail it 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.120 to your front door. It's anonymous, it's insured. You don't 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.200 need a bank vault. We're just talking little coins here. 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.000 They'll get it in your retirement account and they'll make 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:33.880 it easy. Eight three three nine gold, let's talk about 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.439 this veteran stuff. Hang on, he doesn't care if you 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:44.040 believe him, but he's right. Jesse Kelly, it is the 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.200 Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.960 Friday reminding you you can email the show and you 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.639 should Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So before we 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.720 get back to the politics, someone wants to talk about 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.920 spending and this Biden Trump debate and many other things. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.280 Before we get to that, we're talking a little bit 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.480 about veterans and veterans suicide and things like that. And 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.800 I was just kind of going over how it feels. Okay, 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.800 so you're young, you sign up, you go fight, because 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.000 the guys who are struggling with depression and suicide, of 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.359 the guys who went over and fall, you go over 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.960 and you fight, and you're important. I really want to 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.399 stress that you're important. You remember you ever see that 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.480 movie First Blood? The first Rambo? Everyone thinks it's called Rambo, 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.800 but it's called First Blood. You ever see First Blood? 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.440 Most people have seen First Blood. If you haven't he's 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.640 this green beret who comes back from Vietnam and gets harassed. Whatever. 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.439 It's a great movie, how they recommend it. But at 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.639 the end, at the end, when his buddy's trying to 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.600 get him to turn himself in, he starts screaming about 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.600 I am mattered. I was important. I was in charge 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.280 of million dollar equipment, and now I can't even find 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:53.919 a job parking cards for the guys I serve with. 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.000 For some of the guys I serve with, it wasn't 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.359 just the explosions and the blood and whatever. Was you 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.399 come back from that? Remember I told you I was 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.560 a mortar section leader, and I wasn't a good one. Okay, 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.320 I'm not bragging, believe me. But I was in charge 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.240 of the section. Ten men under my command. They're under 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:14.639 my charge in Afghanistan. At twenty two, I am a leader. 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.840 When the leader of our company, he wants something done, 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.240 calls in the NCOs I'm one of them, I'm standing 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.120 there in a small circle. You do this, and you're important. 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:30.840 Twenty two, you come back, you get out. You're not 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:36.439 the same. Now, I would argue that you're you probably 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.560 have prioritized the wrong things, but you think about this. 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:40.879 I want you to think about this, and what I'm 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.439 about to say is no insult, no insult to blue 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.840 collar workers or whatever. But I went and did construction 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.080 when I got back. Okay, so I was twenty two 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.520 fifteen minutes ago, I was twenty two years old leading 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.080 men on night patrols in Baghdad. At one point in time, 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.760 we were on a night with green berets in the 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:06.240 night in Bagdad with mvgs on fifteen minutes later. I'm 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.480 not only on a construction crew. I'm pretty much the 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.160 low man on the construction crew. And if somebody needs 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:19.400 the trash picked up, Kelly, pick up the trash. That's hard. 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.240 I cannot speak for women. I will not speak for 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:26.840 a women for men. We have this picture in our minds. 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.480 I certainly did I do. I'm no different, not separating 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:34.480 myself from this. Where throughout life our rank in society 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.520 or place in society, I don't know how I want 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.920 to put that. We just assume it's going to slowly 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.440 and steadily go up. Yeah, you'll have this entry level job, 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.480 but then you'll keep your nose to the grindstone and 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.840 you'll work your way up and soon you'll be in management. 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.280 Maybe one day you'll start your own business. Hey, look 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.280 at that, I'm fifty years old. I bought a Mercedes. 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.920 Hey i'm fifty five. I fly for his class. Oh 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.159 we have a beach house now at sixty. Oh, I 0:22:58.200 --> 0:22:59.879 retire one day and my wife and I are very 0:22:59.880 --> 0:23:02.119 comfortable down in boc over tone. You just have this 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.919 picture in your head that you're slowly and surely in 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.280 your life. If it was one of those charts, it 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:09.560 would just slowly but surely you hit it, be heading 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.800 up up, up, up, up up up. But you go 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:17.720 do combat, all this responsibility, all this adventure, and you 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.000 come back and it doesn't feel like you went up. 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:26.040 It feels like now all that was for not and 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.360 you're not really anybody anymore. That hurts. I will tell 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.080 you it affected me, it did. It bothered me a lot. 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.879 The noises bothered me a lot. To this day. I 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.760 actually do not do that great with loud noises. I'm fine, 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:41.920 I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hide under the desk 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.480 and cry if a balloon pops. But I will tell 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.199 you if if Chris and Michael were to actually do 0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:49.280
