Intense fire 59 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: was concentrated on him by and the machine gun in 60 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: place near the tank. He charged the automatic weapon, wiped 61 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: out its crew of four with grenades, and with supreme daring, 62 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: advanced within twenty five yards of the armored vehicle, killing 63 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: two hostile infantrymen with rifle fire. As he moved forward, 64 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the tank had started to withdraw. He's got the tank retreating. 65 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: By this point in time, the tank had started to withdraw, 66 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: backing a short distance, then firing, backing some more, and 67 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: then stopping to blast out another round when the man 68 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: whose single handedly relentless attack had put the ponderous machine 69 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: on the defensive was struck and killed instantly by a 70 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: direct hit from the Tiger Royal's heavy gun. By his 71 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: intrepidity and extreme devotion to the task of driving the 72 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: enemy back no matter what the odds, staff Sergeant Gammon 73 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: cleared the woods of German forces for the tank to 74 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: continue to withdraw, leaving open the path for the gallant 75 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: squad leaders. Tune bang Son Bang. Now, there is so 76 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: much ugly politics out there, between the Trump indictment, well, 77 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: the coming Trump indictment, and the Big Bill and more 78 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: US of gay news and big fires and news and 79 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: emails that I decided we shouldn't talk about any of 80 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: that for a little bit. We should talk about a 81 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: little bit of history. Let's do Battle of the Bulge history, 82 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: shall we. I'll try to make this brief, but I'm 83 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: not gonna try that hard. Here's the deal. Yeah, yeah, 84 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: I will, Chris, Yeah, I will make it brief. Okay, An, 85 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: here's the deal. Battle of the Bulge. Let's do a big, 86 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot view of World War Two. We think 87 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: of World War two, you know, December seventh, nineteen forty one, 88 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: we got attacked in Pearl Harbor and boom, we jump 89 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: into World War two. And because we're Americans, and that's 90 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: when America jumped in the war. I know, we know 91 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: what starts before that, but for us, we think of 92 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: that was really kind of the big thing. Well not really, yes, 93 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: and no, Remember, Hitler kicked all this stuff off. If 94 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: we're not going to count Japan's invasion of China, but 95 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Hitler really kicked all this stuff off, invading Poland Hitler's 96 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: taking this is the nineteen nineteen thirty nine, and we 97 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: think of the war as being something that was kind 98 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: of you know, Hitler was rocking and rolling up until 99 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: we declared war. Not necessarily true Hitler. Yeah, he beat 100 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: up poland he beats up, you know, a couple of 101 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: these countries. And then Hitler makes the decision to go 102 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: into the Soviet Union, to go into to attack Russia, 103 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: a land war in Russia, which, as everyone knows, was 104 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: insane by now. But this is gonna this is gonna 105 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: come into play with Battle of the Balls, so just 106 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: stay with me. The odd thing about December seventh, nineteen 107 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: forty one was this, If Japan had any brains, they 108 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: would have realized that by that point in time, the 109 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: war had been decided because Hitler's invasion of the Soviet 110 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: Union had finally bogged down and ground to a halt 111 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union, and anyone who knew anything at 112 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: that point knew it was inevitable. So by the time 113 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: Japan bombed US at Pearl Harbor, Germany losing the war 114 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: was inevitability. That was a tough word right there. I 115 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: went to community college. It was an inevitability. So Japan 116 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: attacked US and their main all I was already a loser. 117 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Now I say that to say this. Germany was then 118 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: pushed back and pushed back and pushed back as the 119 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Soviets are running them out of the Soviet Union. Combine 120 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: that with a couple of other things. As the Soviets 121 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: are pushing the Germans out of the Soviet Union, pushing 122 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: them back towards Germany, erasing all those games they had made. 123 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: We invaded Normandy d day. You know about the day 124 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: we invaded Normandy. Now that was a really big deal. Okay. 125 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: I want you to think about this like a map. 126 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: This stuff helps me understand history better. So you have 127 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: France Frances right there in the middle of your map, right, So, 128 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: just a blank piece of paper. You got Frances sitting 129 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: right there in your blank piece of paper, Okay, not 130 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: to the right of France, right to the right, right 131 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: next door, touching France. To the right Germany, because you've 132 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: got France in the middle, Germany's touching them on the right. 133 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: To the right of Germany is the Soviet Union. Not really, 134 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: just for the purposes of this making it easy, leman, 135 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: make it easy for you. To the right of Germany 136 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: is a Soviet Union north of France, north of the 137 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: middle of your paper, across the English Channel, a little 138 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: bit of Water, the UK, Great Britain. All right, so 139 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: picture this from Germany's standpoint. If you're German, you have 140 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: spent the war pushing into France, taking over France. You've 141 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: been pushing left, You've been pushing right as you took 142 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: over so much of the Soviet Union. You tried to 143 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: push north into the UK, but they fought you off. 144 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: But still you've been pushing the left and pushing right. 145 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: Life ain't bad, except now the Soviets are pushing you 146 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: back towards your little Germany circle. And we at Normandy 147 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: d Day that was our foothold, that was our foothold 148 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: to start pushing the Germans back out of France. So 149 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: now you're starting to get pushed back out of France. 150 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: Also not good. Now this goes on for quite some time, 151 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: Operation Market Garden and Normandy and a couple of things. 152 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: Soon it's nineteen forty four, the end of nineteen forty four, 153 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: and here you have Germany with the Soviets coming real 154 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: close on their right. Well, on the right is the 155 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: piece of paper you're looking at, and the Americans and 156 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: the Brits coming pass on your left, and you're looking 157 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: around and it doesn't exactly take a genius to figure 158 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: out you had better figure out something to do to 159 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: change the tide of this war. Now what is that something? 160 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: There was some argument about that with the German high command. 161 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: We will continue a little bit more history and then 162 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: we'll get back into politics and stuff. But we're gonna 163 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: continue to do more battle of the ball and stuff 164 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: in just a second. I don't know much, but I 165 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: do know this. If you're one of the people who 166 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: was sitting there freezing at the Battle of the Bulls 167 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: and very it was cold out there, just think about this. 168 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: Think how good some shrimp would have tasted from Biloxi shrimp. 169 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: What Chris, think about if somebody had taken the Biloxi shrimp, 170 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: herbs and spices and sauteid up just vats and vats 171 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: of shrimp for our troops. You think the morale was high, 172 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: Think how much higher the morale would have been, maybe 173 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: some toast points with the Biloxi shrimp. Shrimp probably would 174 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: have fought off the Germans in half a day had 175 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: we been powered by Biloxi.

We're going to get back 190 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: to all the Omnibus spending bill, disaster and all the 191 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: other ugliness out there. We're talking history right now. We 192 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: just did a Middle of Honor Tuesday. We're doing a 193 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: little Battle of the Bulge and I kind of set 194 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: up what Germany's situation was by December nineteen forty four. 195 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: It was bad, It was bad. The Soviets were coming 196 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: from the east, the Americans and the Brits were coming 197 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: from the west. You had to figure out something and offense, 198 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: pay attention gop. Offense is oftentimes the best defense, as 199 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: the old saying goes. So Hitler and Hitler's military command 200 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: decided to put their heads together and come up with 201 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: a plan. Okay, what do we do. You're surrounded people, 202 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: we're angry, understandably, what do we do. Hitler's generals had 203 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: an idea. In my opinion, it was a smarter idea 204 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: than the one Hitler had, unsurprisingly, but they had an idea, 205 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: and their idea was this, Hey, these Allied troops are 206 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: overextended and we were and let's hold on, sorry, let 207 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: should explain this pause for a second. What do I 208 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: mean by overextended? All right? You remember where the UK 209 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: is up there? They came down across the UK, down 210 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: into France, and now they're charging through France, fighting Germans 211 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: the whole way, and they're moving really fast. And not 212 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: only have they done the invasion in Normandy, they had 213 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: the failed Operation Market Garden. I won't buy you with 214 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: the details on that. I'll give it to I'll get it. 215 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: I'll get to that another time. What you need to 216 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: know is this. They tried to establish a bridgehead across 217 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: the Rhine so they could get into northern Germany, and 218 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: the Germans were just too tough. They couldn't get across. 219 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: We We worked with the Brits to do a bunch 220 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: of paratroopers and seize the bridges. They failed. It was 221 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: a failure, but we were still pushing, so we were taxed. 222 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: We were really far away from our supply lines. The 223 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: unsexy part of war is logistics, As the wonderful saying goes, 224 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: Amateur study tactics, professionals study logistics. Did you know did 225 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: you know that no matter who you are, man, woman, big, small, trained, untrained, 226 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: do you know that, no matter who you are, that 227 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: you could defeat a navy seal in a fist fight? 228 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Did you know that if you're asking how well you 229 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: simply have to take that navy seal. They just have 230 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: to starve him for a week, week and a half 231 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: till he's half dead, and you sit and you eat 232 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: three square meals a day, and you'll go beat him 233 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: to a bloody pulp. An army runs on his stomach. 234 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: As Napoleon said, no one likes to talk about these things, 235 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: because we bombs and bullets and explosions and charges and 236 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: machine gun nests. You have to have food and water 237 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: and back up AMMO and medical supplies and all there. 238 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: You boarded, yet you half asleep. These things have to 239 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: get to your troops. And when you push too far 240 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: away from your supply base, it just takes so long 241 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: to get that much to your troops. And when you're 242 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: dealing with numbers like one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, 243 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand men, do you have any idea how 244 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: much food three hundred thousand men will eat in a 245 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: single days. It would fill up a warehouse. It's more 246 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: than you can imagine. Only they have to eat every day. 247 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: So they're extended. And then Operation Market Garden failed. Now 248 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: we're more extended. Now we're tired. Hitler and his generals 249 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: knew that, they knew we were over extended. Their plan was, 250 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: let's hit him. They're they're hurting, they're wobbli right now. 251 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Let's blast through them while they're tired. Their supplies haven't 252 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: caught up, they're not rested. Let's blast through the Allied 253 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: lines and push towards Antwerp. Now what is Antwerp? You 254 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. You don't have a globe 255 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: in front of you, So allow me to explain. Basically, 256 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: attached to France, northeast France is a little country with 257 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: excellent waffles called Belgium. Actually don't even know if they 258 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: have waffles there, but I bet they do. But it 259 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: has a really important port called Antwerp. Hitler wanted to 260 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: blast through the Allied lines and go grab that port 261 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: for two different reasons. One he wanted the port so 262 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: he could have better supplies, and two he wanted to 263 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: deny that port to us so we couldn't bring supplies 264 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: in there. Antwerp was the goal of this whole operation. 265 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: His generals wanted something much smaller, less ambitious. Hitler wanted 266 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: to go for the I know, knockout blow. I guess 267 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: you could make an argument for each of them. Hitler 268 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: strategically was a complete and utter moron. So his generals, 269 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: who were very, very capable, were probably right, but you 270 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: never know. Hindsights twenty twenty. That brings us to what 271 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: actually happened. Now, I want you to keep this in mind, 272 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: our guys. Units like the hundred and first Airborne were 273 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: exhausted and hungry. They just done D Day. You've seen, 274 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: You've seen Saving Private Ryan, You've seen Band of Brothers. 275 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: They just did D Day. They also did Operation Market Garden, 276 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: and they need rest. They needed my Patriot Supply. It's 277 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: what they really needed. They needed an emergency three month 278 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: food kit sent to all of these units. That way 279 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: they could have had two thousand calories a day to 280 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: rest and recover. Two thousand calories a day breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, 281 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: my Patriots Supply. They wouldn't have just done that for 282 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: thee hundred first Airborne. You know they'll do that for 283 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: you too.

All right, hang on, it is the Jesse 299 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: Kelly Show, and speaking a Battle of the Ball, I'm 300 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: going to get right back to the story here. I 301 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: think we need to take a minute, though, and pay 302 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: homage to Joe Biden, President poopy Pants, his uncle Frank, 303 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: who who won the Purple Heart at the Battle of 304 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: the ball. My dad, when I got elected vice president, 305 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: he said, Joey, uncle Frank fought in the Battle of 306 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: the Balls. She was not faying very well now, not 307 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: because the Battle of bolts. But he said, and he 308 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: won the Purple Heart, and he never received it. You never, 309 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: he never got it. Do you think you could help 310 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: him get it. We'll surprise him. So I got in 311 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: the Purple Heart he had won it and the Battle 312 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: of the Balls, and I remember came over the house 313 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: and I came out and he said, presented to him. Okay, 314 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: read the family there, I said, Uncle Frank won on this, 315 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: and I want to patient. I don't want the damn thing. 316 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm curious, she said, I don't want it. I wasn't mad, 317 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: Uncle Frank. You earned it, he said, yeah, but the 318 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: others died. The others died, I lived. I don't want it. Man. 319 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: That is gosh, that's quite a story, if only it 320 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: was true. Credit to The New York Post, who did 321 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: a little digging on the fact checking. Biden's father, Joseph Biden, 322 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: died in September two thousand and two, more than six 323 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: years before his son was elected vice president. Remember Joe 324 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: had that talk with his dad after he became vice president, 325 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: which brings us to his brother, Frank, who died in 326 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. Frank's Biden's tombstone does not identify him 327 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,959 Speaker 1: as a Purple Heart honoree, nor does his obituary. Obituary, 328 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: a partial registry of known Purple Heart recipients, also doesn't 329 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: note anyone by that name receiving the award. He just 330 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: picked up everything, all right, Quit, we'll get we'll get 331 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: back to that stuff in a little bit. Let me 332 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: finish up my story, and then we'll get to this 333 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: horrible spending bill and all the rest of it. Now, 334 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: the plan for Hitler and the Germans, we're talking about 335 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: all of the ball just to whear this is a 336 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: political show. The plan is again pushed towards Antwerp, and 337 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: their plan is to use armor. When I say armor, 338 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: just think tanks. But there are more than just tanks. 339 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: There's tanks, there are anti tank things, anti tank armor 340 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: that look like tanks. And I need to explain this 341 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: for civilians. Every piece of armor that has a big 342 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: gun on it is not a tank. That It's fine 343 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: if you think think that, but that's not what it is. 344 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: Some of them are actually specifically designed to shoot other tanks, 345 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: tank destroyers. So they're sending panzer divisions, armor divisions after 346 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: the Americans to try to blow through this line. And 347 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a couple of details here. Don't 348 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: stress memorizing these, just a couple of things you should know. 349 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: The Germans really used two kinds of tanks. They had 350 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: a panzer and they had a tiger tank. A panzer 351 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: and a tiger tank. And what's crazy about this is 352 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: you should know both of them are better than ours. 353 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: Both of them are bigger, the guns were bigger, the 354 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: armor was thicker. They were just nasty. The Germans could 355 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: build a nasty freaking tank, apparently to Tiger tanks. The 356 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: sight of them was amazing. They were just huge. That 357 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: were several times as big as our Sherman tanks. We 358 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: had Sherman tanks all right. Now. Their plan was to 359 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: blow through our guys. Well, we took our guys units 360 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: like the hundred first Airborne. They had been in Normandy, 361 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: they'd just taken place in Operation Market taking part in 362 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: Operation Market Garden, and they had sent them to basically 363 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: rest barracks in France because the units were so shot 364 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: to pieces, so many people were dead, so many people 365 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: were wounded, so many people were ptsdd out of their 366 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: mind by now, try to imagine the level of combat. 367 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: These guys have just gone through best of the best, 368 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: but the human mind can only take so much. Well, Hitler, 369 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: launch is this offensive and we have to go to 370 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: all these units, all these units of infantry, and we 371 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: have to tell them, hey, guys, we need you, and 372 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: we need you right now. Keep in mind, this is 373 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: this is a sense of urgency. Some of our guys 374 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: it elite units like the hundred first airborne. Some of 375 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: our guys didn't have rifles, did not have a weapon, 376 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: their weapon had been shot damage. We're waiting on a 377 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: new one. Sorry, we need you up there anyway, So 378 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: we scramble these guys into the r dan the forest. 379 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: A lot of this takes place near bass Stone in Belgium. 380 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: It's a huge it's a huge front, so I don't 381 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: want to act like it just took place there. It's 382 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: a long front, but bass Stone in Belgium is a 383 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: very very popular place. And what happens is it's December 384 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: and this horrible freeze comes in and our guys, who 385 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: are PTSDT out of their minds, don't have the supplies necessary. 386 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: They are dug into this forest, and they have German 387 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: tanks in German infantry pouring their way with the interest 388 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: in blowing through them. And they're dug into Bastone, they're 389 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: dug in the town, they're dug into the woods, and 390 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: we really don't have armor. Our tanks aren't there. We 391 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: have a bunch of anti tank guns, but we don't 392 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: have armor, and you really need that. Now. What happens 393 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: is the Germans they start running into our guys there. 394 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: We do have artillery. So our guys are fighting tooth 395 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: and nail on the Battle of the Balls to try 396 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: to keep the Germans from breaking through. We're dropping artillery 397 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: on them, but even then we're gonna die if we 398 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: don't get some help. Which brings us to one General Patton. 399 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard of him, Patton's Third Army. They were there, 400 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: but not close. They were there. I forget the distance this. 401 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if I say it, it'll be wrong. I 402 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: want to say they were two hundred miles away, one 403 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: hundred fifty miles away. But they were somewhere like that. Patton, 404 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: in one of the most incredible military moves that people 405 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: don't know about ever, has his entire has all these 406 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: tank divisions. He has them rolling to help out our 407 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: guys in Bastone in something like less than two hours. 408 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: If this is a huge military operation, tens of thousands 409 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: of men and Patton has them all headed north in 410 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: the dark, he wouldn't even let him stop. They would. 411 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: They would radio back to Patton and say, hey, we 412 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: gotta pull over, get some sleep. He said, our guys 413 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: are dying. You go. I don't care what it is. 414 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: You go, and our guys go up there, and like, 415 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. There's just if 416 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: I could have video of it, it would be incredible. 417 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: There is our guys fighting tooth and nail in the trenches. 418 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: Our guys are breaking mentally, and like I said, the 419 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: airborne units and whatnot, we're talking We're not talking weaklings here. 420 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: We're talking the bravest men who've ever lived. There's just 421 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: only so much the human mind can take. You can 422 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: see a little of this if you ever actually watched 423 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: that HBO series Band of Brothers. By the way, it's 424 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: very very accurate war heroes. We're just breaking mentally. You 425 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: can only anyone can only handle so much. But they're 426 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: fighting their guts out, they're fighting tooth and they're fighting 427 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: their guts out, and our tanks start coming in and 428 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: our anti tank guns start keeping up. And eventually, and then, 429 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: like I said, this is a huge front. I'm gonna 430 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: move off at nap because we have to get onto 431 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: crappy spending bills. But eventually Hitler's tank units they get 432 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: so frustrated that they can't take over bast Stone that 433 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: they just go around bas Stone and keep trying to 434 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: push towards the port because Remember the port was the 435 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: ultimate goal. But then the Good Lord provides the weather 436 00:26:52,880 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: went from freezing to thawing. Tanks love frozen ground, ud 437 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: not so much. The German panzer divisions bogged down to 438 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: the point they basically have to turn around and try 439 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: to go back to Bastone. And the thing is, by 440 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: this point the Germans were simply running out of tanks 441 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: and we weren't, and running out of men and we weren't. 442 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: And that Battle of the Balls I did, and there 443 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: by the way I could do hours and hours and 444 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: hours on the different parts of Battle of the Balls. 445 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: There are so many fascinating parts. And because you're you, 446 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: and I know you geek out on this, I know 447 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 1: you're going to email me parts you want me to do, 448 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: and I'll do them Jesse at jesse kellyshow dot com. 449 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: But this was the last gasp of Germany during the war. 450 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: Remember this is December nineteen forty four. We're nearing the end. 451 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: There were no longer any German resources left after this 452 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: to try to make a push anywhere. All they could 453 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: do they try to dig in and get ready because 454 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: the Soviets were coming to town and they knew that 455 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: was not going to be a pleasant experience at all, 456 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: not pleasant at all. As the Soviets were pouring in, 457 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: I know what the Germans were thinking as they were 458 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: pouring into Berlin. I know they were thinking two things. 459 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: One I wish we'd won the Battle of the Bulge. 460 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: And two what I wouldn't give for some Geeza dreamsheets 461 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: right now to help me sleep through the night as 462 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: the Russian army comes pouring in. And even though the 463 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: German economy was in shambles, it was December, I mean, 464 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: right now, it's December. I'm sure Mike Lindell would have 465 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: given everybody the same sale.

I have a few friends in Congress. There 492 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: are some very very good people in Congress, especially the House. 493 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: One of the great ones is Damn Bishop. He did 494 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: a little thread on social media. I want to make 495 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: sure I give him credit for it on just a 496 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: couple things that are in the bill. By the way, 497 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: I would have spent much of the show telling you 498 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: things that are in the bill, but nobody knows because 499 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: there's four thousand, one hundred and fifty five pages of it. 500 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: And as you'll hear from rand Paul here, in a 501 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, they dropped it at one thirty in 502 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: the middle of the night. By the way, this is 503 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: going to pass like tomorrow. The next day, we are 504 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: thirty one trillion dollars in debt, and well, let Dan 505 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: Bishop take it away. It expressly prohibits customs in border 506 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: patrol funding from being used to improve border security. So 507 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: they allocated money to the border patrol, but they expressly 508 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: forbid them from using it for border security. Okay, But 509 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: at the same time, this is, according to Dan Bishop, 510 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: allocates four hundred and ten million dollars to the border 511 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia in Omen America. Last 512 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: in action. That's what Dan said. And of course, oh 513 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: my gosh, that's a big number one point four billion 514 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: dollars for membership in the global multilateral organizations, including the 515 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: United Nations. The word salmon like the fish appears forty 516 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: eight times in the bill. Not making that up sixty 517 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: five million dollars for salmon, Dan goes on to say 518 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: it seems fishy. That's Dan's crappy joke, not mine, although 519 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: I do think that's funny. This time, he says three 520 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: million dollars for be friendly highways and another five million 521 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: dollars for salmon. This time he says, talk about a 522 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: buzz kilt. Chris reminded to text Dan after the show. 523 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to talk if someone else could have 524 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: to start doing these jokes unless the other fish feel 525 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: out of the spending spree. Here's sixty five point seven 526 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: million dollars for International Fisheries Commissions. On a more sinister note, 527 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: he says, here's at least five hundred and seventy five 528 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: million dollars for quote, family planning in areas where population 529 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: growth threatens biodiversity. That's five hundred and seventy five million 530 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: dollars of your money that is going to go to 531 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: kill people in places where they don't think there should 532 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: be any more people sixty five million dollars in two 533 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: programs for Senator Leahy in a federal building named for 534 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. He says, swamp's gonna swamp. Here's just a 535 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: hand for the many earbarks, including three point six million 536 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: dollars for Michelle Obama Trail. Oh, did I mention that 537 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: mister McConnell was all for it? Christy? Do you have 538 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: that sound from Mitch McConnell. He wants you to know 539 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: he's heard from Republicans and they're all about that Ukraine life. 540 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: So admittedly, I'm pretty proud of the fact that with 541 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: a Democratic president, of Democratic House and Democratic Senate, we 542 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: were able to achieve through this. I'm too, a spending 543 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: deal essentially all of our priorties. Michelle Obama Trail. I 544 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 1: want to make sure I give him credit. Sye, how 545 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: cam I am being right now? I'm worried I'm gonna 546 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: lose it by the time Rand Paul has done. Now, 547 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: this is a little long, it's a couple of minutes, 548 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: but RAYM. Paul one of the few people who actually 549 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: understands what having debt means and how bad it's going 550 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: to be. For us. Rand Paul got up and he 551 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: had this to say, I've brought with me the Omdie 552 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: four thousand, one hundred and fifty five pages. When was 553 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: it produced? In the debt of the night? One thirty 554 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: in the morning when it was released. Now people argue 555 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 1: that it's conservatives fault. It's you don't have the Christmas 556 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: spirit somehow you're holding up government. Well, whose job is 557 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: it to produce this? The people in charge of spending, 558 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: the people in charge of both of the parties. When 559 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: did they know that this would be necessary? Well, it's 560 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: in the law September thirtieth. You got nine months, almost 561 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: ten months to produce a plan to have a spending plan. 562 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: They weren't ready on September thirtieth, so they voted themselves 563 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: ninety more days. They weren't ready last week either, so 564 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: they voted themselves another week and now we have it 565 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: at one thirty in the morning this morning. But what's 566 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: the clamor the clamors to vote? Vote now, let's get 567 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: it done. Why are you standing in the way of spending? Well, 568 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: the real question is this, what is more dangerous? What 569 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: is more dangerous to the country? One point one trillion 570 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: dollars in new debt or is Republican leadership likes to say, Oh, 571 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: but it's a win, it's a big win. We're getting 572 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: forty five billion dollars for the military. So which is 573 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: more important? Which threatens the country more? Are we at 574 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: risk for being invaded by a foreign power if we 575 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: don't put forty five billion into the military, or we 576 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 1: more at risk by adding to a thirty one trillion 577 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: dollars debt. I think the greatest risk to our national 578 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: security is our debt. The process stinks, it's an abomination. Yeah, 579 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: we got it, Chris. Now, maybe maybe you're sitting there 580 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: right now like me, and you have a little bit 581 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: of steam coming out of your ears that vain and 582 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: the side of your forehead is pulsing because you're absolutely 583 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: irate at this level of betrayal from our GOP leaders. 584 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 1: Of course, it's all the same group of losers, Thune, McConnell, Ernst, 585 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham. What a shock everything. Lindsey even had the 586 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: guts to say, well, I'm gonna vote for it, but 587 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: I don't like it and I won't do it again. 588 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: Oh shut up, you loser. Now, maybe all that stuff 589 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: has made you mad man, You're not even close to 590 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: mad enough yet, because there is another thing in this bill, 591 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you what it is, and you're 592 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: just going to come on glued at the level of man. 593 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: It's just you know what.
