Speaker 2: hate and death threats to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 2: This guy actually said, Hey, Jesse, can you read the
Speaker 2: Medal of Honor citation for a Raymond Zusman. I think
Speaker 2: it's amazing how he was able to do so much
Speaker 2: with very little ammunition and men much thanks and God
Speaker 2: bless So what did mister Zusman do? Raymond Zussman of Hamtrack, Michigan,
Speaker 2: let's find out? Shall ridy hey.
Speaker 3: Honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal of
Speaker 3: Honor Monday.
Speaker 2: On the twelfth of September nineteen forty four, Second Lieutenant
Speaker 2: Zusman was in command of two tanks operating with an
Speaker 2: infantry company in the attack on enemy forces occupying the
Speaker 2: town of noroy Leburg, France, at seven o'clock PM. His
Speaker 2: command tank bogged down. Throughout the ensuing action, armed with
Speaker 2: only a carbine, he reconnoitered alone on foot, far in
Speaker 2: advance of his remaining tank in the infantry, returning only
Speaker 2: from time to time to designate targets. He directed the
Speaker 2: action of the tank and turned over to the infantry
Speaker 2: the numerous German soldiers he had caused to surrender. He
Speaker 2: located a roadblock and directed his tanks to destroy it.
Speaker 2: Fully exposed to fire from enemy positions only fifty yards distant,
Speaker 2: he stood by his tank directing its fire. Three Germans
Speaker 2: were killed and eight surrendered. Again, he walked before his tank,
Speaker 2: leading it against an enemy held group of houses machine
Speaker 2: gun and small arms fire, kicking up dust at his feet.
Speaker 2: The tank fire broke the resistance in twenty enemies surrendered.
Speaker 2: Going forward again alone, he passed an enemy occupied house,
Speaker 2: from which Germans fired on him and threw grenades in
Speaker 2: his path. After a brief firefight, he signaled his tank
Speaker 2: to come up and fire on the house. Eleven German
Speaker 2: soldiers were killed and fifteen surrendered. Going on alone. He
Speaker 2: disappeared around a street corner. The fire of his car
Speaker 2: being could be heard, and in a few minutes he reappeared,
Speaker 2: driving thirty prisoners before him. Under Second Lieutenant Zusman's heroic
Speaker 2: and inspiring leadership, eighteen enemy soldiers were killed and ninety
Speaker 2: two captured. Not a bad day, huh, Not a bad day. Now,
Speaker 2: let's get back to the task at hand. I don't
Speaker 2: want to live in this kind of country, political assassinations
Speaker 2: and violence all the time. I want the communists to stop.
Speaker 2: I want there to be peace. But how do we
Speaker 2: get that? How do we get that? Well, let me
Speaker 2: use a couple examples here. You remember our Rhodesian history segment,
Speaker 2: don't forget histories. Coming back May fourth our Rhodesian history segment,
Speaker 2: and we talked about how these communist groups were pouring
Speaker 2: into Rhodesia from the surrounding countries. Okay, you can arrest them,
Speaker 2: you can go out and kill them, and they did,
Speaker 2: but they just kept coming, and they just kept coming
Speaker 2: like they were endless amounts of them. What do you do?
Speaker 2: Why were they still coming? That's the best question. Why
Speaker 2: so many coming? Because they were funded and trained by
Speaker 2: large nation states like China in the Soviet Union nation
Speaker 2: states were funding and training all these communists. So the
Speaker 2: Rhodesians are killing them as fast as they can kill them,
Speaker 2: but there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of them. Okay,
Speaker 2: pause on that for a moment. Let's talk about crime
Speaker 2: drug dealing. If you will, picture a major American city.
Speaker 2: There's some gang banger on the block and he's selling crack.
Speaker 2: Not ideal, I think you would agree, probably not great.
Speaker 2: Now you want that to stop, okay, But you go
Speaker 2: put handcuffs on that drug dealer and you throw them
Speaker 2: in jail. And the next day there's a different guy
Speaker 2: standing on the street corner with a bag of crack
Speaker 2: selling it, and you can arrest that guy and throw
Speaker 2: him in jail. But then the next day there's another
Speaker 2: guy in the street corner with the bag of cracks
Speaker 2: selling it. What's going on here? Well, that guy standing
Speaker 2: on the street corner with a bag of crack, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have any actual power. Really, maybe he has a gun.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's violent, probably stupid, but why see actually
Speaker 2: there he's there because in all likelihood, his gang of
Speaker 2: hoodlums who live on that block, they were hired by
Speaker 2: a middle management type in a large criminal organization, could
Speaker 2: be the Italian mafia cartel, mixture of the two. You
Speaker 2: see some middle manager based here in America. He wants
Speaker 2: to move a lot more crack and make a lot
Speaker 2: more money through the streets of let's call it Chicago.
Speaker 2: So he goes and finds a bunch of young, stupid
Speaker 2: idiots and hands them bags of crack and says, I'll
Speaker 2: give you a little cut, go sell my crack. Okay,
Speaker 2: But even then, if you if you travel all the
Speaker 2: way up the chain to the middle management guy, what
Speaker 2: if you just throw handcuffs on him and send him, well,
Speaker 2: then you have to climb further up the chain until
Speaker 2: you get to the man or the men who have
Speaker 2: the plan, and they're hiring the right people to carry
Speaker 2: out the plan. I'm mister crime lord, and my plan
Speaker 2: is to make a lot of money. How am I
Speaker 2: going to make money? I'm gonna make crack. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: make tons and tons of crack, and then I'm gonna
Speaker 2: hire a bunch of violent, scummy losers to distribute my
Speaker 2: said crack, and eventually enough money will be flowing up
Speaker 2: into my coffers. That I'll be flying private jets and
Speaker 2: living in mansions all over the world. If you really
Speaker 2: want to stop the guy on the street corner with
Speaker 2: a bag of crack in his pocket, you don't just
Speaker 2: throw him in jail. You must go to the institutions
Speaker 2: who create people like him. You must go after the institutions.
Speaker 2: The poor Rhodesians were never going to win the Rhodesian
Speaker 2: Bush War once the American West cut them off from resources,
Speaker 2: not because they weren't brave enough. They were so brave,
Speaker 2: Not because they weren't good fighters. They were amazing fighters.
Speaker 2: Not because they didn't have a great country. And the
Speaker 2: right idea is they had a wonderful country. They were
Speaker 2: always going to lose because it doesn't matter how many
Speaker 2: Kami street animals you butcher out in the Rhodesian Bush
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, they will
Speaker 2: always find new recruits and write new checks and zend
Speaker 2: a new group of a thousand of them into your
Speaker 2: country to rape and terrorize in murder. Unless you can
Speaker 2: travel up that chain and get to the institutions who
Speaker 2: create the communists, all else is just noise. It is
Speaker 2: all else. To be honest with you. It's cope. It's
Speaker 2: just a coping mechanism, that's all it is. You're trying
Speaker 2: to convince yourself that if we just arrest this this
Speaker 2: street animal, you know what should do. Maybe you've even
Speaker 2: said something violent in the past twenty four to forty
Speaker 2: eight hours. I think we should try him tomorrow and
Speaker 2: then skin him alive on national television. Okay, I applaud
Speaker 2: your vigor. It would work. It just wouldn't work. Why
Speaker 2: wouldn't it work? Because America has institutions, some foreign funded,
Speaker 2: some domestic funded. They have communists run instance, we should say,
Speaker 2: have communist run institutions in this country, and they produce
Speaker 2: another thousand assassins a year, or I should say would
Speaker 2: be assassins. There's a there's an assassin factory of institutions
Speaker 2: in this country. If the factory stays running, this will
Speaker 2: never stop. What's the biggest factory. We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 2: Before we talk about that, let me talk to you
Speaker 2: about making your life as an employer, as a business
Speaker 2: owner easier. Is an insurance a huge paint, over and
Speaker 2: over and over again. My dad would yell and scream
Speaker 2: about insurance.
Speaker 4: I swear insurance rules, the world.
Speaker 2: He used to tell me, having to deal with all
Speaker 2: these different insurance policies. Why do I have a bunch
Speaker 2: of different insurance people.
Speaker 4: I just can't I just talk to one guy.
Speaker 2: Well, now you can. My dad never could. Now that
Speaker 2: super Sure exists, you can. You see, you're over insured
Speaker 2: in some areas and you're under insured in other areas
Speaker 2: because you have all these different policies you don't fully understand,
Speaker 2: and they give you some blanket coverage that doesn't even
Speaker 2: it's not even based on your business. Super Sure will
Speaker 2: handle your policies, all your applications, one stop shop. You
Speaker 2: deal with, one person, one company. Super Sure handles it all.
Speaker 2: They'll get you the right insurance for your business, not
Speaker 2: some blanket insurance policy. I love businesses that make my
Speaker 2: life easier. Stop hassling with insurance. You never have to
Speaker 2: do that again because super Sure is here to take
Speaker 2: the pain away. All your policies in one place. Supersure
Speaker 2: dot com slash Jesse. Supersure dot com slash Jesse paid
Speaker 2: for by super Sure Insurance Agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Speaker 1: He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Monday.
Speaker 2: We had medal of Honor Monday. We're gonna get to emails.
Speaker 2: We have John Conrad coming up ten minutes from now.
Speaker 2: By the way, you can email us Jesse at jessekellyshow
Speaker 2: dot com your love, your hate, your death threats. I
Speaker 2: am going to tackle your emails about everything from this
Speaker 2: shooting to other things. People have questions about the security.
Speaker 2: How could this have happened? And I'm gonna lay that out.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay out, frankly, what happened because I can
Speaker 2: tell you exactly what happened. What were our failures, what
Speaker 2: were our successes? If we're failing, why are we failing?
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that, and that is something
Speaker 2: very important to me because, as I mentioned at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the show, I know it's ugly to think about,
Speaker 2: but this culture of assassination we live in is not
Speaker 2: going anywhere anytime soon. We have a lot of work
Speaker 2: to do to make it go away. And so our
Speaker 2: next guy, I'm assuming it's jdva Ants, but who knows
Speaker 2: who it is. Our next guy is already in mortal danger.
Speaker 2: I told you, I told you a long time before
Speaker 2: that shot rang out in Butler that they were going
Speaker 2: to kill Donald Trump. I warned you that they were,
Speaker 2: and then he got shot in the head. By the
Speaker 2: grace of God, he turned his head at the right time.
Speaker 2: I told you it was coming, and I'm telling you
Speaker 2: right now there is going to be a very credible
Speaker 2: assassination attempt on the vice president of the United States
Speaker 2: over the next few years. There's no question, certainly as
Speaker 2: he ramps up his run for the presidency, whether it
Speaker 2: will be successful or not. Gosh, I hope not, but
Speaker 2: it's coming. I guarantee you it's coming, probably more than one. Now.
Speaker 2: I want that to stop. I want to go back
Speaker 2: to living in a normal country where communists don't kill
Speaker 2: the people they disagree with. So we have to go
Speaker 2: to the root of the problem. The root of the
Speaker 2: problem is the institutions. I'm going to read something for you.
Speaker 2: Credit to Rob Henderson, He's the one you pulled out
Speaker 2: the chart. Relative to Americans with high school education, Americans
Speaker 2: with graduate degrees are twice as likely to support political violence.
Speaker 2: More education equals higher support for political violence. And there's
Speaker 2: a chart here showing a staggering, staggering thing something we
Speaker 2: talked about before. To break it down simply, the longer
Speaker 2: you spend on a college campus, the more violent, demonic,
Speaker 2: and communist you will become. If you just step foot
Speaker 2: on there for half a second, it probably won't be bad.
Speaker 2: You checked in and out for a year. Maybe you
Speaker 2: get by. You go all the way to a bachelor's degree,
Speaker 2: getting dicey, hope you pack up your stuff and leave.
Speaker 2: You start sticking around for master's degrees and PhDs. You'll
Speaker 2: be pollpot before you know it. Here's a headline cal Tech.
Speaker 2: You know that's where this would be assassin went. Cal
Speaker 2: Tech's probe into its racist pass isn't working. This is
Speaker 2: an LA Times article that I will not go into.
Speaker 2: Kyle Tech is supposed to be one of these engineering
Speaker 2: super schools, very difficult to get into. This guy, this
Speaker 2: would be assassin, probably had a very high IQ and
Speaker 2: then he got into this prestigious school, cal Tech. Why
Speaker 2: would a guy like this grab a shotgun and hop
Speaker 2: on the train from LA to drive clear to Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: And now he is a man. I don't know exactly
Speaker 2: how old he is, but he is a man who
Speaker 2: will probably die in prison one day. Old, wrinkled no
Speaker 2: more California, no more freedom, no more sunny beaches, no
Speaker 2: more esteak dinners. It's federal penitentiary time pow where you
Speaker 2: better shower with two eyes and in the back of your
Speaker 2: head for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4: Why in the world, Why in the world.
Speaker 2: Would he do that, Why would he risk that? Because
Speaker 2: the university system in this country trains communists foot soldiers
Speaker 2: to kill people. It just does. We are going to
Speaker 2: have to start burning down the American university system. Legally.
Speaker 2: By the way, legally, I don't want you to do anything,
Speaker 2: I leo, please don't go physically burn anything down. We
Speaker 2: are going to have to start not just stripping all
Speaker 2: funding from these universities, we are going to have to
Speaker 2: start firing everybody and closing the doors. I'm not even
Speaker 2: close to kidding. If you want America to stop producing
Speaker 2: communist assassins, one of the key institutions, one of the
Speaker 2: key assassinctories in this country is America's university system. And
Speaker 2: we could go deeper than that, because there is more
Speaker 2: than that. Of course, the media institution. We could of
Speaker 2: course go through k through twelve schools, even the companies
Speaker 2: who make the textbooks. All these things are extremely valid targets.
Speaker 2: But what we have to start prioritizing is the institutions themselves.
Speaker 2: It's not enough to shoot the plane out of the sky.
Speaker 2: What you need to do is get your butt down
Speaker 2: to the plane factory and bomb it to smithereens. Then
Speaker 2: it will stop producing the planes and you don't have
Speaker 2: to shoot them out of the sky.
Speaker 4: We are asking all these questions right now, and we're
Speaker 4: asking the wrong ones.
Speaker 2: But if we get a new White House ballroom it
Speaker 2: does bulletproof glass, can we stop this in the future.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all for it, build the ballroom, put
Speaker 2: in the bulletproof glass.
Speaker 4: But when you're at the place where you have to
Speaker 4: put heads of state behind bulletproof glass when they give
Speaker 4: a twenty minute speed a college campus, that's not a
Speaker 4: healthy place. And the solution cannot be more bulletproof glass.
Speaker 4: You have to find a way to smash the communist
Speaker 4: movement into a fine powder, and you do that by
Speaker 4: the complete dismantling and destruction of communist universities in this country.
Speaker 4: We have to go after the institutions themselves. Throwing another
Speaker 4: street animal in prison is not near enough, because there's another.
Speaker 2: Ten of them. Waiting with weapons to kill you and
Speaker 2: me in whoever the next Republican nominee is the institutions
Speaker 2: that produce them must be ground to powder. Period. Talk
Speaker 2: to John Conrad next.
Speaker 1: Fighting for your freedom every day the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show, and a wonderful Monday.
Speaker 2: It's been an amazing Monday. And it's time to get
Speaker 2: smarter about shipping things because that's kind of a fairly
Speaker 2: important industry which is being revealed more and more every day.
Speaker 2: We have blockades and everything else. I'm going to know
Speaker 2: what's happening out there. So joining me now is he
Speaker 2: has many times before? John Conrad, merchant Rine Captain author. Okay, John,
Speaker 2: I'm shipping. We know that there's currently a blockade on
Speaker 2: the Straight of hor Moves. How is that affecting or
Speaker 2: is it affecting things worldwide on the high seas.
Speaker 5: Well. You've already always been ahead of this curve by
Speaker 5: Neon and guys like Ross Kennedy. I appreciate that it's
Speaker 5: working its way through the system. It's not this apocalyptic.
Speaker 5: If you read the news in Europe, they say it's
Speaker 5: this apocalyptic problem. It hasn't been that you know, shipping
Speaker 5: is very elastic, things can move around. These get new ships,
Speaker 5: but it is definitely putting a strain on the system.
Speaker 5: The bigger problem is going back to the poor congestion
Speaker 5: crisis in twenty twenty, after COVID to the Panama Canal, drought,
Speaker 5: to the Red Sea and the hoo Thi's there to
Speaker 5: now this it's just increasing stress on the system. And
Speaker 5: this is all participating in global inflation. You know, if
Speaker 5: everything takes longer to get shipped, if you need more inventory,
Speaker 5: prices are going to go up. So I think that's
Speaker 5: the main effect.
Speaker 2: Okay, pause, Sorry, I'm going to ask you a bunch
Speaker 2: of nerdy details because I want to get smarter tonight
Speaker 2: and then rub it in all my friends faces. Panama
Speaker 2: Panama Canal drought one. Why is this whole canal important anyway?
Speaker 2: To what drought? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Well, the Panama Canal is the most important canal for
Speaker 5: the US Navy because without the Panama Canal, we have
Speaker 5: half our fleet in Norfolking, half in San Diego, and
Speaker 5: if something, you know, war breaks out in China, you'd
Speaker 5: have to go all the way around Argentina or South Africa.
Speaker 5: South Africa has not been good friends lately. They've been
Speaker 5: inviting Chinese and Russian in. We have a better relationship
Speaker 5: with Argentina. But that's a lot of time to get
Speaker 5: the navy all the way around there, and the weather's horrible.
Speaker 5: The drought was two years ago. They ran out of water.
Speaker 5: They built a second canal that's bigger next to the
Speaker 5: original canal, and it uses a lot of water. They
Speaker 5: collect the water in this lake and then the water
Speaker 5: flushes out on each ship transit into the Pacific or Atlantic,
Speaker 5: depending on which way you're going. Well, there's a limited
Speaker 5: amount of water. If it doesn't rain, you can't transit,
Speaker 5: so they had to limit the transits going through. This
Speaker 5: led all the way up to the beginning of the administration.
Speaker 5: Rubio and Pete Heigseth went down there and you know,
Speaker 5: tried to negotiate this, you know, favorable term, saying, hey,
Speaker 5: the US needs to be able to secure it. We
Speaker 5: want free transit for US flag vessels and a few
Speaker 5: other priority for US ships because when there's a drought
Speaker 5: they start auctioning off. And there's some indication that they've
Speaker 5: allowed US to have some security forces down there. Oh
Speaker 5: and kicking the Chinese out of the port. They owned
Speaker 5: the two ports, but the other ones have kind of installed.
Speaker 5: They're still charging US ships.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go back over to the Strait of
Speaker 2: horror moves before we talk about some shakeups in the
Speaker 2: navy and things like that. People are confused about how
Speaker 2: we can wipe their navy off the high seas with
Speaker 2: such ease, and yet things are not flowing. What is
Speaker 2: happening and why?
Speaker 5: Well, I at the very beginning was very anti war.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of us were anti war. And
Speaker 5: there were some initial casualties. But if you know, to
Speaker 5: get to this point where we are now, I was
Speaker 5: anticipating two thousand casualties. We haven't come close to that number.
Speaker 5: And now what we see is the President doesn't want
Speaker 5: any more casualties. Pete Hegsett doesn't want anymore. The Navy
Speaker 5: doesn't want anymore. So we're starting to, you know, send
Speaker 5: We just sent some two destroyers in for the first
Speaker 5: time last week. We're starting to do a little bit
Speaker 5: of mind clearing. But they're taking their sweet time, Jesse,
Speaker 5: and they're taking their sweet time because I Ran can't
Speaker 5: be trusted and they we don't use the uh, you know,
Speaker 5: we don't we make our we have our own oil.
Speaker 5: We use some oil from the Middle East, but it's
Speaker 5: not critical to us like it is in Europe. So
Speaker 5: they don't want to put the Navy, Marines, Army in
Speaker 5: harm's way. They'd rather take their time and do this slowly.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you said in harm's way for the normal
Speaker 2: person who doesn't understand this, what could harm us? At
Speaker 2: least our navy ships? We wipe their air force out,
Speaker 2: We wiped out their navy. What can hurt us? Did
Speaker 2: I Ron has?
Speaker 5: You're right, we did a fantastic job operationally. But it's
Speaker 5: an insurgency, right, So these the straight of horror news
Speaker 5: is a big u And one side of that you
Speaker 5: is Iran. And there are a lot of places that
Speaker 5: you could hide drones, hide missiles, hide these speedboats. We
Speaker 5: see them, you know, launching these Boston whalers, and you
Speaker 5: could put some minds in it. There already might be
Speaker 5: minds in the strait of hor moves. So the real
Speaker 5: way that you would secure a straight like that, say
Speaker 5: this was a war against China and you absolutely had
Speaker 5: to secure the straight, is you would send the Marines
Speaker 5: boots on the ground. Maybe not a long term mission
Speaker 5: like months, but you would at least surge them in
Speaker 5: for a week or two in order to check the
Speaker 5: basements and clear out the jones and destroy the Boston whalers.
Speaker 5: We don't even seem willing to do that. So we're
Speaker 5: taking a very cautious approach here.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're taking a cautious approach. I understand that
Speaker 2: the Trump administration doesn't want soldiers to die, certainly doesn't
Speaker 2: want more bad I tend minds. I understand all that,
Speaker 2: but that clearly is going to extend the timeline somewhat correct.
Speaker 2: I mean, I realize Iran.
Speaker 5: It's hurting, but significantly, go ahead, go ahead, please, it's
Speaker 5: extending the timeline significantly. We probably could have. You know,
Speaker 5: some ships were going through because I ran much charging
Speaker 5: them this toll a few weeks ago. That has gone
Speaker 5: down because we've instituted a blockade. We've told people you
Speaker 5: can't you can't pay Iran to go through. I ran
Speaker 5: clear doesn't have minds on their side, so they were
Speaker 5: allowing this and we've put an end to that. So
Speaker 5: we're kind of in a stalemate now. I ran As
Speaker 5: blog says they're block heating friendly ships, and the US
Speaker 5: is blockading ships that could be transporting missiles or other
Speaker 5: cargo oil that benefits Iran. We're allowing humanitarian supplies three,
Speaker 5: but not oil or dangerous goods.
Speaker 2: Okay, And you don't see an economic problem coming yet.
Speaker 2: I know you indicated that we could be in store
Speaker 2: for one, but as of now, we're holding.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, we're holding. Okay. Europe's in bigger trouble. They're
Speaker 5: running out of jet fuel. We've seen shortages in Australia, Korea,
Speaker 5: other places are having this problem price of oil. Because California,
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom shut down so many refineries. The oil goes
Speaker 5: from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to South
Speaker 5: Korea and then gets brought back to California to supply
Speaker 5: the cars. Well, because all the ships are moving around
Speaker 5: trying to get oil from other places, we don't have
Speaker 5: extra tankers. So to get that tanker, you've got to
Speaker 5: spend a lot more money. So the price of gasoline
Speaker 5: I was just in California, it was like seven dollars
Speaker 5: and sixty cents for a gallon of diesel, and that
Speaker 5: diesel costs all farmers, all anyone running a generator. So
Speaker 5: there are costs, but the acute costs is on our allies.
Speaker 5: It's on Europe, and Europe does not could send mine
Speaker 5: sweepers themselves. They don't want to send the mine sweepers.
Speaker 5: So we're in this kind of stalemate here. Trump saying, hey,
Speaker 5: if you want to, if you want this, good because
Speaker 5: it's you could run out of jet fuel before the
Speaker 5: big travel season in the summer. You know you need
Speaker 5: to help. Here in Europe saying, well, we need to
Speaker 5: start this war. We don't want to help, and that's
Speaker 5: part of the stalemate.
Speaker 2: John, do you have time to do just a couple
Speaker 2: more questions another segment with me real quick. I want
Speaker 2: to ask about a.
Speaker 5: Couple of the things I always got to have time
Speaker 5: for you, Jesse.
Speaker 2: My man, all right, we're going to be right back
Speaker 2: with John Conrad. I want to ask about the new
Speaker 2: Navy secretary's shakeups going on shipbuilding. Other questions. Hang on,
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1: Becksian.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful
Speaker 2: Remember you can email us your love, your hate, your
Speaker 2: death threats Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Back with
Speaker 2: our favorite Merchant, Marine and History Captain John Conrad. Okay, John,
Speaker 2: we got news it would be just political nerds, but
Speaker 2: we got news that there's been a shake up in
Speaker 2: the Navy, the big Cheese, and no one really understood why.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Well, John Feeling came in as Secretary of the Navy,
Speaker 5: this top civilian in the Navy and has a lot
Speaker 5: of control over what the Navy's doing. And he had
Speaker 5: a chief of staff named John Harrison, who is a
Speaker 5: real go getter. He kind of looked at Nimitz and
Speaker 5: King world War two and said, hey, we got to
Speaker 5: really break some heads here, and that caused a lot
Speaker 5: of stress in the Navy. So Harrison was pushed out
Speaker 5: in October, and John Feeling's kind of been moving along
Speaker 5: the ball that John Harrison plays a major reorganization of
Speaker 5: the Navy, all these things. But the president's priority has
Speaker 5: been shipbuilding, and the secretary in the Navy has been
Speaker 5: doing a good job. You know, he got us the
Speaker 5: Golden Fleet, he's getting us new frigates, he's getting us
Speaker 5: a battleship. He's got a fifty percent increase in shipbuilding.
Speaker 5: He's fixed a lot of the budgetary problems, in the Navy.
Speaker 5: This guy's a billionaire, he's friends with Trump. He has
Speaker 5: the mansion right next tomorrow Lago, very successful businessman. He's
Speaker 5: cleaned out a lot of that, and he did it
Speaker 5: in the first year. But John Feeln is not a
Speaker 5: guy who gets on media. He won't get on the
Speaker 5: Jesse Kelly Show, he won't do videos. And then in
Speaker 5: the shipbuilding world is you can't build a stealth jet
Speaker 5: like you can in the Air Force and skunk works.
Speaker 5: You have to get the unions together. You've got to
Speaker 5: get the shipyard. You got to get Wall Street excited.
Speaker 5: You've got to get the people excited to call their
Speaker 5: congressman and want to put all this money. Shipbuilding is expensive.
Speaker 5: And you know, he did all of these reforms, a
Speaker 5: lot of them were good, but then the air kind
Speaker 5: of came out of the tires of the whole thing.
Speaker 5: And you know, this Navy conference I was at last
Speaker 5: week last year, it was brimming with excitement, it was
Speaker 5: full house. They sold out of tickets. This year, it
Speaker 5: was kind of kind of boring, and people were like,
Speaker 5: I don't know if this is actually getting through. So
Speaker 5: the President let John Feeling go, brought in hung Cow
Speaker 5: who's great on video. It's one of the most popular
Speaker 5: videos on x You know when he was running for Senate,
Speaker 5: just railing against communism. Uh. He was born in Vietnam
Speaker 5: right before it fell, and you know, a real success
Speaker 5: story and became a Navy EO D and Navy captain.
Speaker 5: He's an expert with minds because that's what eods do with.
Speaker 2: UH.
Speaker 5: And he's now in He's already released two videos. He's
Speaker 5: already walked back some of the structural change, and I
Speaker 5: think he's gonna, you know, infuse some enthusiasm in the shipbuilding.
Speaker 2: Okay, the show building. You reference that all the time.
Speaker 2: I know it's near and dear to your heart, and
Speaker 2: you've referenced the problems we have with it before. Can
Speaker 2: you tell me is it getting better? Because I know
Speaker 2: that's something Trump's hot on. It's something he stresses that
Speaker 2: China can do it and we cannot. Are we getting better?
Speaker 5: And why well we will? We will even if everything
Speaker 5: Trump goes through, we won't approach China. China's four times
Speaker 5: four hundred times to ship building capacity. We do. We're
Speaker 5: not trying to compete with China, but we've built zero
Speaker 5: merchant ships last year, and our navy ships. The newest
Speaker 5: carrier is seventeen years overdue. It's been we've been building
Speaker 5: it for seventeen years, Jesse. So we want to get
Speaker 5: some action. What I tell people is this last year
Speaker 5: I have been the most excited I've been in my
Speaker 5: thirty year career at seat, but then I become the
Speaker 5: most depressed I've ever been in my thirty year big career.
Speaker 5: So O're flip flopping between, hey, here's an amazing Trump
Speaker 5: execut of action, and then you know, all the players,
Speaker 5: the Navy Maritime Administration dropped the ball, here's a maritime
Speaker 5: action plan, here's a new Secretary of Navy who redoes this,
Speaker 5: and then they don't follow through with the video and
Speaker 5: the podcast and really selling it to the American public.
Speaker 5: So we're flip flobbing some really good structural things. But
Speaker 5: you know, excitement's dying, and if we don't get some
Speaker 5: traction before midterms, you know the next two years is
Speaker 5: just going to be the Democrats fighting us. So now's
Speaker 5: the time. Now's the chance to get it done. And
Speaker 5: I think bringing Hung Caw, someone who's who's out there,
Speaker 5: who's verbal, who knows this as a priority I think
Speaker 5: this is the last hail Mary to get this done,
Speaker 5: because it's not we're not getting actual traction. A lot
Speaker 5: of money, a lot of structure, but we're not actually
Speaker 5: building ships yet.
Speaker 2: John, How has our navy performed with this whole Iran thing? Obviously,
Speaker 2: I know we're dominant much better than they are technologically
Speaker 2: every possible way. I understand all that. But are there
Speaker 2: are there things that happened or didn't happen that raised
Speaker 2: some concern for you?
Speaker 5: Yeah. The number one thing is we got the best
Speaker 5: navy in the world. These guys are really good, Jesse,
Speaker 5: but they don't have enough destroyers, they don't have enough oilers,
Speaker 5: they don't have enough cargo ships to resupply these carriers
Speaker 5: and stuff at sea. But the problem is, and the
Speaker 5: problem has been for two decades, is when we're in
Speaker 5: a pinch, when Americans, you know, backs are against the wall,
Speaker 5: we figure out a way to get it done. We
Speaker 5: figure out a way that that may not be ideal.
Speaker 5: We may have to get out some duct tape and
Speaker 5: some super glue, but we're going to get that done.
Speaker 5: And the problem is, when you get it done, then
Speaker 5: Congress says, well you got it done, last time, Why
Speaker 5: do you need more ships? And you know, the problems
Speaker 5: keep mounting up. So there were a lot of problems
Speaker 5: with the Iran thing, but the Navy found you know,
Speaker 5: kind of jerry rigged around them, so we didn't really
Speaker 5: see those problems. But now we got three carriers in
Speaker 5: the Persian Golf. One of them has been the second
Speaker 5: longest deployment in US Navy's history for a ship. So
Speaker 5: these guys are tired, they're over worked. And now when
Speaker 5: these ships go back, you know, the lot breaks when
Speaker 5: you push the envelope like this, and it just kind
Speaker 5: of gunks up the whole system.
Speaker 2: If that makes sense, Oh it does? It does. Where
Speaker 2: do we repair our ships now just back at home
Speaker 2: or is there some other place we can dock them
Speaker 2: and fix them.
Speaker 5: We just opened up allowed Korean i think in Japan,
Speaker 5: letting them repair our ships. It used to be just
Speaker 5: in the United States. You know, the Navy used to
Speaker 5: build their own ships. The Brooklyn Navy Yard that built
Speaker 5: our battleships, that was owned by the government, operated by
Speaker 5: the government. And there were these public shipyards Philly, there
Speaker 5: was one in Hawaii, one in Washington. We change that now,
Speaker 5: so all our ships are built by private or you
Speaker 5: know some of the company's issue stocks, they're built by
Speaker 5: private defense contractors. But the Navy routine three yards that
Speaker 5: do repairs. So the warships are at our three public
Speaker 5: shipyards in Norfolk, Washington, I believe, in Hawaii, and then
Speaker 5: we have a few Dakins and Alabama shipyard that repair
Speaker 5: kind of our oilers and our auxiliary ships.
Speaker 2: Right now, Okay, John, you are a wealth of information, buddy,
Speaker 2: John Conrad, thank you.
Speaker 5: So much, brother, Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: I feel like my tea levels just went up when
Speaker 2: I listened to that, all that talk about battleships and
Speaker 2: destroyers and minds. I mean, maybe it has more to
Speaker 2: do with the male vitality stack from chalk that's flowing
Speaker 2: through my veins than it does actual navy talk. But
Speaker 2: still tell me that wasn't sweet. You know what, maybe
Speaker 2: we should name our next battleship the USS Chalk. What
Speaker 2: do you think about that, Chris, Natural herbal supplements. Whether
Speaker 2: you are a woman, they got female vitality stacks for you,
Speaker 2: or if you're a man looking for a twenty percent
Speaker 2: poost in your testosterone in ninety days, do it naturally?
Speaker 2: I know there's a low TIQ clinic on every corner
Speaker 2: in your town. Because we're drinking estrogen and we're becoming
Speaker 2: feminized and weak and pathetic. Let chalk turn it around
Speaker 2: for you, naturally, not with a needle in your arm.
Speaker 2: C ho q chalk dot Com promo code Jesse, You're
Speaker 2: about to feel a whole lot better. All right, we
Speaker 2: have an entire final hour. We're gonna talk about Democrat fraud.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna carve through You have a bunch of different emails,
