WEBVTT - Hour 1: Confirmation Week 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:12.720 This is a Jesse Kelly show. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.640 It is the Jesse Kelly Show. 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:26.279 Let's have some fun on a Tuesday. And it was 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:32.680 a rambunctious Tuesday, a very revealing Tuesday. Today. Yes, the 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:37.600 Pete hag Seth confirmation hearing was today. It's confirmation week. 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.920 We got Bondy coming. There's there's gonna be a whole 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.640 lot of that, so get ready for that. What else 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.599 are we going to talk about tonight? We're gonna talk 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:52.280 about war with China. Seventy Americans. American parents don't want 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.160 the training stuff in school, so why do we have 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.440 it in school? Jack Smith dropped the law fair, but 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:02.800 Arizona's Attorney general picked it up. Why California Democrats are 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.600 asking fifty million dollars to protect illegals? Canada is all 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.880 of a sudden coming around on buying more things from US. 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.440 And two hundred and fifty Africans have officially taken over 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:19.720 a French theater and it's hilarious. All that emails, voicemails 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.800 and so much more coming up tonight on the world 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.679 famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now I want to begin. This 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.560 is going to be about the Pete Hegseth thing. But 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.160 let me tell you why I'm such a supporter of it, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.480 not just of him. This does not only apply to him. 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:43.000 It applies to so many of the nominees Trump has 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.119 put up. And last time, Look, everyone who listens knows 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.640 I'm more than willing to blast away when I disagree 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:57.040 with Trump. Last time, his nominees were embarrassing, horrible. Rex Tillerson, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.960 You've got to be freaking kidding me. This time, I'm 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.280 blown away impressed. I am so impressed. But why why 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.640 am I so on board with Pete Hegseth or Tulca Gabbert. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.279 He's a career democrat. I have all kinds of disagreements 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.639 with her RFK same thing. Why am I supportive of this? 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:16.880 Well? 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:23.040 Beat us Howard's football season. I'll explain it this way. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:28.720 If there's this incredible football team and they have been 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.520 winning consistently, over it, over it, over it over again, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.640 make the playoffs every year, flirt with the National Championship, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:40.120 super Bowl every year, well, it would be insane for 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.640 someone to step in and say, hey, this whole coaching staff, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.480 our whole philosophy here, we're getting rid of it. There's 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.800 this high school coach he's in Wisconsin. He's got this 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.040 really weird, quirky offense. We're dumping our coaching staff and 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.600 we're gonna bring in this high school guy, and what 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.560 it's gonna go crazy? Nobody would support that. Why you're 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.440 already winning, things are going well. You don't upset the 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.160 apple cart. When things are going well, keep going that way. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.240 But vice versa. Let's say there's a team that's been 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.400 losing over and over and over and over again, year 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:25.959 after year after year after year, loss loss, loss, loss. Well, 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:32.680 once you experience that for long enough, then it's time 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:38.160 to take some chances and shake things up. Maybe that 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.480 quirky high school coach from Wisconsin comes in and falls 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.840 flat on his face. But you don't have the option 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.560 to continue the way you've gone. That's not an option. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.400 So it's time to roll the dice and take some chances. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.880 When it comes to Pete Hegseth r fk Junior Tall, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.920 Sie Gabbard at their person I could keep going down 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:07.680 the list. Are they different? Sure, of course they're different, 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:13.760 much different than they have been. Does that make them worse? Well, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.279 I don't know. I don't know yet. You don't know yet. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.800 I think Pete hag Seth is a very very capable 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.320 human being, and I expect him to do very well. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.640 But maybe he won't. Maybe he'll fall flat on his face. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.280 Maybe it'll be a disaster. Maybe maybe I don't think so, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.760 but maybe. But no matter what, we cannot continue on 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:41.159 the way we have been going as a military. We 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.040 have so much cultural rot in the military system in 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.880 this country. I am doubtful even Pete hag Seth can 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.680 fix it in just four years. We have become so 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.400 top heavy. Listen to this. You want to talk about revealing. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.839 We won World War Two with seven four star generals. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.960 Today we forty four for star generals. There's an inverse 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:08.920 relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.279 We don't need more bureaucracy at the top. We need 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.000 more warfighters and power at the bottom. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.320 We have a military run from the bloated bureaucracy. Now 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.039 everybody gets their four stars. Along with those four stars, 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.839 everybody gets a lucrative contract with a defense contractor. On 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.279 the way out the door, Washington politicians, I've got some 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.240 inside information for you there. I'll get to that in 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.840 a moment. Washington politicians gets a campaign on being tough 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.080 on national defense, and oh, I love the military, Look 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:44.159 support our troops, Look how much I love America. The 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.200 politicians win, the generals win, America doesn't win in the 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.360 men on the ground most definitely do not win. The 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.120 men on the ground had to suffer through a twenty 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.960 year global war on Terror where embarrassing general after embarrassing 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.880 general took over both theaters, accomplished absolutely nothing, and then 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.599 sailed off into the sunset with a multimillion dollar defense 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.440 contractor contract. And the men and women on the ground 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.200 are left without legs, without their lives, without their friends, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:20.800 without their sanity, And this simply cannot continue anymore, especially 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.600 in the face of a potential war with China. Here's 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.160 a headline for you, war in two years. It's from 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:36.280 PJ Media, China talking about twenty twenty seven as the 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.960 year they take Taiwan China. Here's from Naval News, China 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:45.920 suddenly building a fleet of special barges suitable for Taiwan landings. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:53.120 You don't build craft to land on the shore unless 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:59.720 you're planning on landing on the shore. We have luxuriated 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.200 here in the United States of America for most of 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.280 our existence now. If you're old enough, and I realize 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.960 we have some people who are this old who listen 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:15.720 to the show, you're old enough to remember Japanese warships 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.480 firing on America in California, off the coast of California. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.800 That happened in World War two. Nothing significant, no huge damage, 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.600 not a great loss of life, so most people don't 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.160 know about it. If you're old enough, you're old enough 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:34.320 to know about Nazi U boats. You can see them 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.520 from the ports in New York City. There was a 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:44.720 time in this country when Americans understood and appreciated that 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.240 power can come visit you now, where you are, wherever 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.240 you happen to be. But because we won World War 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.360 Two and we've had all this time, I realized Cold 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:59.640 War stuff. But we've had so much time where look 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.560 we're and even the global War on Terror, i'mless sure 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.200 one of the ones actually over there fighting and bleeding 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.320 and dying. It's not that big of a deal, right, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.200 I mean, the gee hotties, Yeah, they might drive through 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.400 a crowd of people on Bourbon Street because they are 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.560 a bunch of demonic savages, but they're not gonna come 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.800 take over America. They're not going to come do anything 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.360 crazy like that. All who cares. We'll go blow some 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.600 of them up in Afghanistan and we'll call it a day. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.560 And where that's gotten us is a military that has 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.040 run from the bureaucracy, As I said, a military so 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.920 full of filth. Listen to this is. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.080 My Secretary of the Navy, should I be confirmed, Sir, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.280 will not be focused on climate change in the Navy, 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:44.800 just like the Secretary of. 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.319 The Air Force won't be focused on. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.360 LG powered fighter jets, or the Secretary of the Army 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.559 will not be focused on electric powered tanks. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.480 Those aren't just one liner's Pete had planned. That's happening 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:03.439 right now in the United States military. We are rotting. 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.240 And the point I have tried to make over and 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.480 over and over again is you can't make people care 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.280 about the rot in the military. You can't really make 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:19.000 people care until it's too late, meaning you can't it's 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.720 hard to get I know you care. I'm not talking 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.480 about you, but it's hard to get norm and Norma 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.439 on board with caring about military rot because they don't 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.200 see it. You almost sound like some kind of right 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.000 wing conspiracy theorist. I'll take the tenfoil off your head 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.200 until one day you wake up and you find out 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.680 a carrier group is at the bottom of the Pacific 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.920 Ocean and you've lost five thousand sailors. And that's when 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.480 Norman Norma wake up and look around and say, how 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.400 did this happen? How could we done? What happened? What 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:55.920 happened was over the course of decades, our military has 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:02.040 become painted rust a disaster in every possible way. And 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.680 what we need is a huge shakeup. And this will 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.120 apply to way more than just Pete Hagseth r FK Junior. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.520 I have all kinds of problems with things RFK Junior 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.600 has said and still says, and things like that. But 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.200 our pharmaceutical industry, our FDA needs shaken up. To put 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.400 it mildly, get in there and start shaking. Taulci Gabbard, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.600 I want to see her shake it, shake it up 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.319 big time. I want to see you. I want to 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.360 see you purchase of Berna. That's what I want from you, 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.320 because I want you to live. Berna. The burn a launcher, 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.800 it's it's non lethal, so it's legal in all fifty 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.000 states California, but Jessee. I'm in New York. The legal 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.240 in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.720 don't need a background check. SWAT teams across the country 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.880 are carrying burner launchers. Did you know that it has 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.840 pepper ball rounds or tear gas rounds or kinetic rounds. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.439 The kinetic rounds are just these hard plastic ones. Oh 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:05.000 my god, they hurt sixty foot range, one shot, incapacitating 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.679 attacker for up to forty minutes. Oh you're worried about 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.679 not being able to hit him, But I'm scared, Jesse. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.600 I'll be scared. Shoot the ground in front of him. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.520 These things are amazing. They save lives, and you can 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.319 own one, carry one in your car, on your nightstand, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.880 on your person. That daughter you send away to college 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.400 needs one. Your son, he's up there in the oil fields, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:33.640 he needs one. B y Rna Berna dot com slash 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:38.280 Jesse gets you ten percent off and they partnered with 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.920 the American Red Cross. Berna will be donating ten percent 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.200 of all proceeds from purchases on Berna dot com through 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.320 the twenty first that'll be going to those affected by 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.000 the fires. How about that Berna dot Com slash Jesse 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.600 will be bad. Did Jesse Kelly Show It's still real 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:03.320 to me? Dammit, the tarns down. It is the Jesse 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.679 Kelly's Show on what Well. I guess we're going to 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.000 call it confirmation week on a Tuesday night. Remember that 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.320 sounds very official. Christ, No, it does. That sounds like 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:13.880 something a journalist would come up with. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.120 It's journalist, Jesse. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.800 It's confirmation week here on the Jesse Kelly Show. I 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.240 sound so official. Remember you can email the show love hate, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.120 death threats, ask doctor Jesse questions. You can email all 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.680 those in to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Back 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.680 to the Pete hegg Seth performance today. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:41.600 Standards will be high and they will be equal, not equitable, that's. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.280 A very different word. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.480 We need to make sure every warrior is fully qualified 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.680 on their assigned weapons system, every pilot's fully qualified and 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.319 current on the aircraft they are flying. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.720 And every general or flag. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:59.520 Officer is selected for leadership or promotion purely based on performance, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.839 readiness and merit. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.120 Jewish producer Chris during that SoundBite, asked a question that 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.280 I was already planning on answering. He leaned into the 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:15.480 mic and he said, are they not when Pete Hegseth 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.440 is talking about how everybody needs to be qualified on 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.319 the weapon system that they're assigned to. Let me explain 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:29.160 something that has happened in our military when I was 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.199 in when I was in mortars, I'm going to do 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.800 a back in my day thing. It's not that I 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.360 was any kind of a great marine at all. Like 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.000 I've told you many times before, I redefined the word average. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.240 It was just an average grunt marine for four years. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:47.640 I'm certainly nothing special at all. But our weapon systems, 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:55.600 we were always always going out on shoots with our 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.280 weapon system. We were in twenty nine Pomps and we 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.520 hated him, of course, because it's no fun. You have 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.319 to leave the barracks. You got to go out. You're 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.480 going out in the field. You're fighting the scorpions, The 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.160 foods crappy, So we're always complaining, but that's part of 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:12.880 being a marine. But we were always out there shooting, constantly, shooting, constantly, 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.080 shooting over and over and over and over and over again. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.560 And then when we weren't shooting, we were practicing for 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.240 the shooting. Drill after drill after drill, and you can't 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.040 imagine how fast you get over and over and over 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:29.960 and over and over again without end. Today, with leadership 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.320 focused on so many other things, they don't get that 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.800 kind of training. Pete mentioned the pilots here. This is 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.280 what really perked up Chris. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.480 Is standards will be high and they will be equal. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:46.600 Not equitable, that's a very different word. We need to 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.400 make sure every warrior is fully qualified. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.200 On their assigned weapon system. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.080 Every pilot's fully qualified and current on the aircraft they 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.640 are flying. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.200 Are they not? No? 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:00.240 Not. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.200 This comes back to Look, we've been having this discussion 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.760 when it comes to the California wildfires. You remember what 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.600 that show was with the theme of it was I 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.280 talked about how we're used to certain things. It's human 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.680 nature to get used to the way things are. We're 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.840 in America. We're a modern country. We have plenty of everything. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.160 Surely the fire hydrants will have water in them when 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.280 the fires come. When it comes to the military, well, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:31.440 we're America. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.360 We won two World Wars. We have the best military 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.920 in the world. Our pilots all know what they're doing 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:48.080 right right, No, they do not. Multiple pilot friends of 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.640 mine tell me the training hours have simply been scaled 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.440 back to what they have told me doesn't even qualify 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:06.320 as the bare minimum budget cuts different focus. But hours 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.760 in the air for a pilot. I'm not a pilot, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.400 so I can only go on what they tell me. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:12.920 For a fighter. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:18.360 Pilot, hours in the air are everything you really really you. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.760 World War two buffs will know this. Did you ever 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.400 read a book about any parts of the air war? 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.640 In World War Two? What determined your victory over who 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.960 you were facing was oftentimes not who had the superior plane. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.240 It was almost always who had the most hours in 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.760 the air. It's the hours in the air that make 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.160 the difference. I was talking to someone I know very 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:51.040 very well, and he is one of these super hot 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.680 pilot types, top gun types. He would kill me if 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.480 you ever heard me describe him like that. But he's 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.040 one of these super hot top gun types. And he 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.400 was describing you know, we were talking about of course, 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.720 I'm asking nerd out questions the way you would ask 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.159 I'm asking about dog fights and fighting other pilots. And 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.120 he said, Jesse, you know what, the difference is less 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.080 than a quarter of a second. Most of the time. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:20.440 Who is that much faster, that much more reactive. That's 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.679 the difference between the guy who comes home and the 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.600 guy who doesn't. Our pilots don't fly anymore, cutting back 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.879 on fuel, cutting back on this again. You're not used 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.439 to that, America. I'm not used to that, America. But 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.280 while we were hiring a bunch of new generals and 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.120 blowing a bunch more money on the new drag show 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.760 dance on the air Force base, the pilots have been grounded. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.840 They don't get time in the sky. And that brings 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.280 me to the last point about the promotions. 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.440 And every general or flag officer is selected for leadership 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:59.840 or promotion purely based on performance, readiness, and merit. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.639 Again, back touishes, back to quishes, back to Chris's question, 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:12.400 are they not? No, they're not. DEI is more than 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.439 something that just affects the local university of yours. It 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:21.240 has infected the United States Military like a cancer, and 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.399 it is at stage four when it comes to the 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.880 officer corps. And there are a couple different reasons for this. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:34.680 The first reason is officers get sent into the university system, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.760 and many of the pipeline universities where we're sending officers 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.680 to get their degree before they become officers, are some 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.280 of the most communist universities in the country. So even 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.840 if you have some squared away, patriotic eighteen year old 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.480 joining the army, you send him off to Lenin's training 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.280 camp for four years, and when he comes back to 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.480 the army, oh yeah, he still wants to be in 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.280 the army, but he kind of thinks this America place 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.400 sucks and these white people suck, and we're not near 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.600 gay enough around here. And he gets those officer stripes 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.720 on him and he goes to work. That's one aspect 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.080 of it, but there are other parts of it, which 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.159 we'll get into in a moment. Hang on feeling a 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.200 little stocky, Follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:28.400 Kelly DC. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Will try 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.400 to wrap up the Pete hagg says stuff. I may 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.119 or may not be able to do that during this 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.520 segment of her just talking about a couple of things. 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.280 If Pete talks, I'm not going to play it for 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.480 you again about how people will only get promoted based 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:44.119 on performance, and I explained already why that doesn't happen. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.480 In part. Part of the reason it doesn't happen is 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.600 the officer corps. A bunch of people filtered through America's 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.639 university system, and as we've seen from voting patterns over 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.800 and over and over and over again, whether or not 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.960 you turn out to be a communist oftentimes is determined 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.840 by whether or not you've gone into an American university. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.200 If you've walked into an American university and been educated 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.720 there for four or five six years, you oftentimes come 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.160 out the other side to the left of Mau sa Dung. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.679 If you can manage to avoid that communist training camp, 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:20.600 you'll oftentimes be sane, happier, and many times wealthier. So 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.320 make that choice carefully for your children, if you will. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.440 Back to beat hegseeth and back to how and why 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:33.480 people get promoted. You see, when an organization from the 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:39.320 top gets corrupted and sent in the wrong direction, oftentimes 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:44.240 it's not just evil communists who are only promoting people 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.200 based on DEI stuff and things like that. It's the guy. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.960 Maybe he even wants to do the right thing, but 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.919 he's got a career, you see. So we'll make it 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:59.880 about me. Let's say I'm I'm a colonel, I'm a fulberger. 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.160 Let's say and let's say I don't have any time 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.480 for all this DEI garbage. I'm not all about that, 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:10.359 but I've got I've got sixteen years in the United 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:14.960 States Marine Corps. I am living my dream. I have 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.679 wanted to be a colonel. I want to be a 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.359 general one day. I want to be a career guy 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:26.800 in the United States Marine Corps. And the Biden administration 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:31.320 takes over and they start pushing the Kami filth really really, 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.680 really hard to where I've had to sit into seminar 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.120 after seminar after seminar about how oppressed black people are 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.639 in the military and how we need more gaye if 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.720 we're going to be able to defeat the enemy. And 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.280 it comes time where I have to decide who the 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:53.800 next lieutenant colonel under me is going to be. And 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:58.120 I have a choice to make. You see, I have 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:03.639 two candidates. One of them he's a straight white dude. 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.159 The other one is a gay white dude. Then not 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.520 say the straight white dude is even more qualified. He's 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.560 better in every way, a better marine in every way. 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:15.920 I could promote him, that would be the right thing 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:20.680 to do, But my general has made it very very 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.040 very clear to me that we are supposed to gay 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:29.120 this place up as much as humanly possible. So see, 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.160 I want to be a general, I want to get promoted. 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.800 If I just if I just go ahead and promote 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:41.760 the gay guy, then it's not going to leave any 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.800 bad marks on my record in my career gets saved. Now. 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:47.840 You can yell and scream like you probably are in 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:49.919 the radio, but they should be doing what's best for 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.840 the country. I agree, but you and I both understand 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:58.440 how it really works. Many, I could argue, most human 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:04.960 beings do what's better for themselves first and foremost. Mark Millie, 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.520 remember his comments? Why would he talk like this? 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:12.400 I do think it's important actually for those of us 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:16.320 in uniform to be open minded and be widely read. 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.720 In the United States Military Academy is a university, uh, 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.280 and it is important that we train and we understand 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.639 and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:27.959 and I want to understand it. 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:31.800 Why would he say that? He doesn't actually think that, 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.439 he doesn't believe that, But why would he get up 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.320 and say that? Because that's how you maintain that wonderful 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.000 system membership card that guarantees as soon as you're done 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.479 as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, you will be a 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:51.520 fabulously wealthy man working for defense contractors, liaising between them 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.479 and Congress to ensure billions and billions and billions of 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.800 dollars of tax payer money continue to flow back, and 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:06.720 it becomes self interest to promote whatever the next DEI 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:09.960 guy is. But the end result of that is it 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.600 happens over and over and over and over and over again, 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.520 and this branch and that branch, and this branch and 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:16.840 that branch, and this department in that department and that department. 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:21.280 The end result is, well, you see how LA handled 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.240 a wildfire. The end result is you have a United 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:27.160 States military that doesn't know how to fight wars anymore 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.720 because you didn't promote people based on who fought the 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.600 best war, on who had the best strategy, on who 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.760 had the highest marks. You just promoted people based on 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:37.679 the minorities or do we have enough women, or do 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:41.000 we have enough gaze. You do that for long enough, 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:47.320 your military will be hollowed out. And that's the challenge 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.760 we face here. Now, let's go on and make fun 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.840 of some Democrats, shall we hear? Is Pete versus Elizabeth Warren. 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:58.240 You're quite sure that every general who serves should not 0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.680 go directly into the defense industry for ten years. But 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:03.640 you're not willing to make that same pledge. 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:06.360 I'm not a general senator. 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:14.160 Pretty well done. Of course, Gillibrand had to get hurt 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.080 soundbites in. I guess I'll just call him sound bites. Okay, first, 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:25.879 remember these things. For the most part, for Democrats, everything 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.480 you're gonna hear all week is theater. Let me pause 0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.320
