WEBVTT - Hour 2: American Military Might 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:12.720 This is a Jesse Kelly show. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.040 It is the Jesse Kelly Show. 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.439 Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic, 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.919 wonderful Wednesday. So here's what we have coming up this hour. 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:27.920 Half hour from now. We're going to talk to our 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.080 friend Green Beret Clay Martin. Check in on Ukraine, check 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.920 in on Iran. I'm gonna talk to Clay more about 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.879 the defense system I need for my private island. We 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.080 can get into that in a little while. We are 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:43.960 going to make merciless, merciless fun of Democrats, once again 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.240 pandering to black people in the most cringe worthy ways 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.720 humanly possible. Thanks, Abdul Al said for one of those. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.040 Ah that so. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.440 Much more still to come on the second hour. I'm 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.280 gonna first get to this one. Apparently it's gonna be 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.000 on the show a lot. These flock cameras, these camera 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.040 systems that are getting placed all over town, and this 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.399 guy writes it an email. Vergot email, very well thought out, 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.280 said Jesse. I heard your segment today about flock cameras, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.120 and I felt compelled to chime in. My wife was 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.479 a city councilwoman. I asked her about these cameras. We 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.640 live in a smallish town here in Texas forty thousand residents, 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.440 and the cameras are positioned at all major entrances and 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.479 exits to the city. I noticed you and others often 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.400 say they don't want quote the government spying on them. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.600 It's not the government, it's your local police force. And 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.640 all it does is read license plates, reported stolen vehicles, 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.920 amber alerts, bolos, etc. That have been entered into the 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.360 system and flagged when someone drives in or out of 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.000 your city. The failed Trump assassin in Florida was caught 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:52.120 with flock cameras. There's no spying, there's no mass surveillance 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.480 regarding flock in the government. It just reads license plates 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.600 and notifies the police. My worry about out this, about 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.240 this new and out of nowhere flock pandemonium, is what 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.840 will replace it, so on and so forth. Hope this 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.160 shed some positive light on flock cameras, because they're not 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.920 what the current hype is making them out to be. Okay, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.040 So I just want to touch on this point because 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.080 that's a very good it's a very good email, it's informative, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:29.160 it's well thought out. Here's a headline for you. Flock 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:35.360 cameras now track all phones, air pods, and smart watches 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:42.160 that pass them thanks to something called signal trace. All right, 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:49.160 that's one two. You say, it's not the government, it's 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.720 your local police force. So I'm going to be as 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.720 delicate as I possibly can in saying this, and I 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.880 say this knowing full well that cops listen to this, 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.359 state troopers, sheriffs all over the United States of America. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:10.240 Why would I trust the local police force? Do you 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.760 remember COVID? I remember COVID. Now, don't get me wrong. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.480 I have a million friends who are cops. I send 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.680 pizzas to the local cops. But you know how I 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:30.239 feel about the issue. However, as a whole, how many officers, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.480 police officers, sheriffs, state troopers in the United States of America? 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:40.880 How many of them refused to enforce the COVID orders 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.840 that came down from evil governors and evil mayors. You 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.839 can count them on one hand. Now, this is where 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.680 you'll email me, and it's a totally valid email, Jesse. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.600 If I didn't enforce it, I would have been fired 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.480 and they would have simply hired someone else who did 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.880 enforce it. That's very fair. One hundred percent true, not 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.320 arguing with you on that, but that in a way 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:13.480 makes my point for me. A police force serves under 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:18.120 the government that's over it, under the government that's over it. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.120 You know those those Venice Beach during speaking of COVID 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.159 out in Venice, I think it was Venice Beach. Don't 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.400 quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure it was 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.960 Venice Beach. There's video you can go look at it. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:36.279 A guy was in the ocean by himself, paddle boarding 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.520 during COVID. The police showed up on the beach, brought 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.200 him in handcuffed him and frog marked him, marched him 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.600 off the beach for paddle boarding by himself outside. Now, 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.919 I have no idea the names of those cops. I 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.400 have no idea what they were thinking at the time, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.560 but I'll tell you this, I would bet money those 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.560 cops if they're worth anything. I bet they were thinking 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.440 the whole time, this is ridiculous. I joined the police 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.240 force to stop bad guys, to protect people and do 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.960 cool stuff, and I'm arresting paddle borders. Now, I bet 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.240 they thought to themselves, this sucks. It's ridiculous and I 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:26.200 hate it, but they did it. They did it. This 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.640 is not at all, some anti cop rant at all. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:36.760 This is a basic acknowledgment that whatever the police force is, federal, state, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:42.280 or local, they will do as they are ordered to do. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:48.400 So you say, flock cameras, not the local government. It's 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:54.760 just the cops, Okay, just the cops, ma'am. Donnie has 0:05:54.800 --> 0:06:00.320 a whole police force under him. A'bdu al Saye is 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.680 in Michigan. You want him, You want him telling the 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.680 cops what to do. You want Gavin Newsom telling the 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.440 cops what to do? Communists trained mayor Karen Bass of 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.440 Los Angeles, do you want her telling the cops what 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:22.800 to do? I understand, I understand the appeal of hey, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.560 let's find kidnapped kids. Totally get it. I am sorry, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.760 especially after COVID. I was this way anyway, but especially 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:36.680 after COVID. I am so jaded on government power. I 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.880 am so jaded on what they will do with power, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:45.120 because I'm old enough to remember governors and mayors who 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:50.480 had no authority to do so, issuing orders telling people 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.600 to close their business. This is the United States of America, 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.960 not communists China. You can't tell me to close my business. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.320 Who do you think you in the Red state of Texas. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.599 They sent an m RAP and the sheriff's department to 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:14.800 a bar for serving people pers I was watching. I remember, 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.560 I remember what happened when the government turned tyrannical. And 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:24.440 when the government turned tyrannical, we did not have massive, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.880 widespread pushback from law enforcement in this country. And that's 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.480 not an indictment on them, because it's law enforcement has 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.040 never operated that way. It's in the enforcement arm of 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.000 the government, and they will enforce what the government says. No, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.400 I don't trust them. No, I don't trust flock cameras. Well, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.239 it's just the cops don't trust them. Jesse. Every day 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.720 it looks more and more like Texas will eventually fall 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.920 to the communists. With mosques popping up like weeds and 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.440 the entire Jihati communities all over the state, it seems 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.960 like only a matter of time. Just like at the 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.400 federal level, the Republicans have full control in Texas and 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:06.120 do nothing to stop its downfall. Remember that we are destined. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:06.960 You may. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.440 For a constant struggle here on this earth. There is 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.480 I'm sorry, there's no destination. We will never get to 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.360 a place anywhere. Texas, your town, the country. We will 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:26.120 never get to a place where we can go. Oh, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:32.120 finally we can stop having to fight evil. Finally, evil people, 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.760 they've backed off, they have stopped their evil ways. They've quit. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.360 They're not going to attack us anymore. That will never happen. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.920 Evil people have wanted to take down Texas for a 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.640 very very long time. The Communists in the United States 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.680 of America have had their eyes on Texas heavily for 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.920 years and years and years because Texas, if they were 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.800 to ever take it, I mean, you can really con 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.680 or Texas a citadel inside the United States of America 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.320 for one reason and one reason only. It's all the 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:11.120 electoral College votes here. If they could actually take Texas 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.680 and turn Texas blue, then it would be hard to 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.280 imagine a Republican ever winning the presidency again, because if 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.880 you're a Democrat, you already get to bank all those 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:25.280 California Electoral College votes every single time. If you were 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.840 to start out as a Democrat candidate and you're banking 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:34.600 California's votes and banking Texas's votes, geez, the other guide 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.680 practically have to run the table, which is not realistic 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.280 to think. So, yes, they're after Texas, of course, they're 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.880 after Texas, and Texas does have a bunch of weak 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.800 sister Republicans who are not strong enough. But we're getting better. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.439 We are slowly getting better. It will not happen fast. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.400 It's not going to be next year. But red States 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:05.920 are ga better about getting redder. Haha, Chris, what Chris? 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.120 That rhymed? 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.480 That was good? Jewish producer Chris doesn't want to acknowledge 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.720 how good that was, and that's just sad. But even 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.640 Jewish producer Chris has to acknowledge that Relief Factor is 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:21.520 worth the money. When you talk about three weeks of 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:27.000 relief Factor right now being seventeen dollars and seventy six cents, 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.599 that's less than a buck a day for the supplement 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.760 that might very well make you pain free like you 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.440 used to be. What is it that plagues you? Is 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.960 it daily aches and pains everywhere? Is it something specific? 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.560 Is it your elbow, your foot, your hand, maybe you 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:50.040 got a knee? Very common? Why don't you try relief Factor? 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.720 Just try it. Not asking you to commit to a 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.600 lifetime of it, three weeks of it seventeen dollars and 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.679 seventy six cents. All you have to do is call 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.760 one eight hundred the number four relief or go to 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.480 relief factor dot com. This is drug free. It is 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.560 a supplement. I want to stress that drug free, but 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.200 it it's miraculous. Man one eight hundred the number four 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:22.960 relief or relief factor dot com. Now we have yet 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.920 another edition of my favorite thing in politics. And what 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:33.480 is my favorite thing in politics? Democrats pandering to Black people. Next, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.720 Jesse Kelly returns. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:44.360 Next it is the Jesse Kelly Shall on a Wonderful 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.400 Wednesday Home Day and you can email us Jesse at 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.760 Jesse kellyshow dot com. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.200 So it's time. I'm so excited. Before I get to it, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.000 I just have to give you a little bit of background. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:02.880 I'm a terrible person. As terrible person, I take enjoyment 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:10.079 in ridiculous, shameful, embarrassing things. I think it is hilarious, 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:16.680 hilarious that Democrats will pander to black people as hard 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.600 as they do. They will do the most ridiculous, not 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.640 even close to believable things in order to get the 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:29.480 black vote in any area. What's this sound like? Well, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.640 remember remember this dome accent. This is a doozy. 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:34.559 I just get to the. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:41.200 Next sixty four days. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.040 Remember Gavin Newsom, this wasn't even long ago, out there 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.240 trying to win the Democrat primary. I had to get 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.600 out there and do some hustling with his wonder bride. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.280 Also, you know, it was also about paying the bills man, 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.360 and it was just like hustling. And so I was 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.840 out there kind of raising myself, turning on the TV started, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.640 you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.240 the you know, the wonderbread. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.280 And the stacks of you know, like the white SKA. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.280 Come on. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:16.440 You talking about me. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.400 Every day every day in the backyard, just bouncing the basketball. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.480 Joe Biden may have been the best ever.

Yeah, he's never been in a 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.120 black choke in his life, black church in his life. 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.559 Joe Biden always a winner. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:55.240 And Chain wall Street, You're gonna put you all back in. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:14:01.840 Change Joe Biden. He even had a razor fight with 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.840 a black gangster named corn Pop. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.600 Pop was a bad dude. And he ran a bunch 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.560 of bad boys and I did. And back in those 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.319 days and shot things have changed.

Wouldn't listen, mesh, Hey esther, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.960 I can't maybe the most famous whatever, Hillary Clinton? What 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.240 you got in that purse? Hillary, even that you always 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.120 carry with you hot sauce? Really yeah, yeah, hot sauce 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.320 really yes. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.200 I want you to know people are going to see this. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.160 Hillary does not keep hot sauce in her purse. Which 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:50.000 brings me to Abdul al Sayid currently running for Senate 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.840 and Michigan polls are all over the place. Some have 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.080 him up, so I have him down. But Abdul al 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.400 Sayid understands that he needs the black vote is if 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.920 he is to be the next senator in Michigan. And 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.320 so what do you do if you want to be 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.120 the next senator for Michigan as a Democrat? Hey man, 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:12.560 I'm Africa. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.160 You know there's been an effort, I think, to divide 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.280 people against each other, and unfortunately you see that the 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.880 consequence of that to tell us that some group or 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.400 another group have to be counterposed because there's not enough 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.360 for all of us. I am Arab, I'm also African. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.600 My family immigrated to this country from Egypt. I'm proud 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.040 of my African heritage. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.360 That's so good. Hey, we came my family came from Egypt. 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:46.880 I'm African, like you. I love it all right. You 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.560 know that I'm stupid and that I dream about stupid things. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.800 And I think I brought this up earlier, but I 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.480 think about starting my own country because I'm a control 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.480 freak who wants to do everything the way I want 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.320 to do it. Out hear me up, because I'm about 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.080 to ask Clay Martin about this. I'll kid you not. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.440 There's an island. There's an island nation. It's mine, the 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:13.040 Republic of Jesse, a mountainous island nation. I haven't worked 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.880 out quite yet. What are economies going to be? But yes, mountainous, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.720 Chris like tropical, but mountainous. There's lots of tropical mountainous places. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.480 We'll call it ten fifteen million people. Don't worry. There's 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.800 going to be like no immigration, so it's going to 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:33.000 be a wonderful place, very clean. I don't know what 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.880 to do for a military. Now, it's an island nation, 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.160 so I have to have some kind of navy. But 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:47.160 if you just have ships out there, well, other more advanced, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.120 larger countries are going to sweep them off of the 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:56.680 water and then it's a big waste. So submarines also. Drones. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:58.760 Drones are all the rage. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:16:59.040 Now. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:04.840 Should I have like no military whatsoever and just be 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:09.280 the drone swarm country where no matter who you are, 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.280 you'll have to deal with just this living hell of drones. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:18.080 But that brings me to this air defenses, missile defenses. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.639 What's to stop a country from flying a bomber overhead 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.240 at thirty thousand feet and just bombing my entire island 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:32.280 to smithereenes? Can I stop that? Do I need satellites? 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.880 In case you're thinking to yourself, this is so stupid. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.120 It is stupid. But this is the kind of thing 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.919 that I daydream about when I wake up in the 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.960 middle of the night. And I already told you I 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.159 woke up at four a m. This morning and I 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.400 started thinking about it. Clay Martin was a marine forever 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.240 sniper recon and then went and it was a green 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.320 bereat forever. I want to know what Clay things. We're 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.960 also going to ask about important things like Iran, Ukraine, 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.160 what's the status? Then we will get to other stuff. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.080 We have to get to emails, communists being rich kids, 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.320 foreigners voting in our elections. All that and more to 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.960 still to come on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:19.560 Hang on The Jesse Kelly Show on air and online 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:24.720 at Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:30.479 Show on a fantastic Wednesday. And joining me now is 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:37.959 my friend, former Green Beret Marine RICO marine sniper Clay Martin, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.600 author of so many wonderful books, fiction and kind of 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:46.879 how to survive nonfiction. H Clay. Okay, So I need 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.560 to walk through a couple current conflicts with you before 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.360 we get to defending the private island that I'm going 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.879 to purchase one day. First of all, is Ukraine winning? 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:02.760 Now? Good question. I've had questions about this ever since 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.400 the I mean, honestly, the years ago, the opening weeks 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.159 of the war, like the end, the Ghost to Kiev 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.320 thing and the Snake Island and the President of Ukraine 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:13.879 with the Green set. I don't know what's going on 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.840 over there. I certainly don't think they're winning though. This 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.240 is one of those things where it's a nuanced take. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.800 But I don't think almost any of the information that 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.960 we get is real. But you look at Russian channels, 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.760 they say they're winning. You look at Ukrainian channels, I 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.920 say they're winning. I don't think anybody's winning. 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:39.240 Okay, nobody's winning. What lessons have we learned about modern combat? 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.200 Is it just that drones are really frightening? 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.119 This is a horrifying time to be alive. I agree, 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.120 and it was not an original statement by me. But 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.720 the drones that we've seen in this conflict are the 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.040 same kind of change as a machine guns in World 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.679 War One. We don't even really understand what they'll do 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.639 yet we know they've changed tactics probably for the next 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.359 thirty years personally. That is the key battlefield development, and 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.920 we will see some wild things happen. You know, droves 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.320 be super valuable, that unvaluable give systems come up and 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.840 back and forth for a good warm while. 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:16.440 Okay, shifting gears the infamous now war in Iran, which 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:21.560 is dragging on for ages. Can you explain why this 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.119 is taking so long to I mean, I see people 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.200 on TV all the time say, just finish the job. 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.960 Finish the job. I've done the best I can to 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.399 explain this to people. Clay, please explain what finishing the 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:35.240 job entails. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.240 I'm gonna have to check Twitter and see if we 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.880 want to get in the day or not. Yes, right, 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.639 you know again this is I'm very much in the 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.280 Joe Kent camp of like, I don't know what we're doing. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.399 I don't know why we did it, and I certainly 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.160 don't know what victory looks like. But I don't think 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.760 that the Iranians are going to just fold from air strikes. 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:56.800 If they were going to do that, they would have 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.680 done it like nine governments ago. We did kill a 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.119 lot of their senior leadership. But I really think we're 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:07.720 running into this problem when we've drastically underestimated that they'd 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.680 spent the last twenty five years looking across the board 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.879 US fighting in Iraq and figuring out how to keep 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.159 the same thing from happening to them. So they were 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.360 on the original deck all the way back to two 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.119 thousand and one. This was like a thing that was 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.159 talked about and even ending the Iraq War taken on Iran. 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:25.320 Who was I don't know if it was like seriously talking. 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.560 It was talked about at certain levels though as a 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:31.320 theoretical during the Iraq War. But I don't think we're 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.359 going to do that. I certainly don't think that we 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.840 have the political will for it, and honestly, I think 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:38.960 it would be something of a bloodbat to nothing. We 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.560 can't win, we can't win at a low price. I 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.359 really don't think that we can reopen the straits of 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.280 before moves with our naval power either. Our naval power 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.359 has actually been suffering badly for a long long time. 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.000 One of the things. And I don't mean that for 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.399 like technology, numbers of ships. I mean honestly, in quality 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.640 of sailors. There's some not much talked about studies done 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.680 on the aftermath of the US as coal, which everybody 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:08.480 kind of forgets about that I can remember that was 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:10.800 early two thousand and one, nine to eleven, or if that 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.879 was the year two thousand. I got it was a ship. 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.199 It was a dry dock in I don't know, bo 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.400 Rain or Qatar somewhere over there and got rammed by 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.800 basically a small suicide boat and it took damage. But 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.320 what's not talked about is a lot of the fire 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.320 control systems, a lot of things that sailors have to 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.000 do on board to keep a ship from sinking. A 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.399 lot of actually just abandoned their post. They bailed. Now 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.560 they were in port, it's not they were in the 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.439 middle of the Indian Ocean. But still it should have 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.879 been a shock being wake up called the US Navy, 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.439 and things, in my opinion, have not gotten better since. 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.880 So we have institutional problems there that need to be 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.960 looked at, and we have serious things to address. 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.000 Okay, so let's drill down on that again. We're speaking 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.159 with Green Beret Clay Martin, author Clay Martin, because we 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.439 all remember, I think was the bonhoff Bonhoffer forgive me, 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.479 I forget the name of the ship in again, another 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:09.439 Navy ship in Port San Diego. If I remember, right, fire, 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.800 I mean they couldn't even set off the freaking alarms. 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:15.760 It was. It was a disaster. So when I think 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.760 of the Navy, and now, granted I got out of 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:19.440 the Marine Corps in two thousand and four, we didn't 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:21.400 work much with the Navy back then, or at least 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:25.240 I didn't. I think that there's some grizzled old chief 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:29.840 who knows everything and he's whipping sailors into line every 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.399 day and they're drilling on this stuff every day. Is 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.440 this stuff not happening? And if it's not happening. 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:41.280 Why, Honestly? I mean, that's my conclusion. Yeah, I spent 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:42.960 time in the Navy. If you won in the same 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:44.199 way that you did not, I don't even know if 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.480 you ever actually did a float on him. I did, Okay, 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:48.920 I did. I spend some time on one of those, 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.520 but it was two two thousand and three. Those ships 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:54.400 are a little bit different though, because they're also full 0:23:54.400 --> 0:24:00.239 of marines, so the discipline stuff is easily forced as 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.639 well as if if the Navy starts falling apart, the 0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:04.600 commander that book and easily go over to one of 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.359 the marine guys and be like, hey, give me a 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:11.880 twenty guys with sticks to correct this problem right now. Yeah, 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.480 things the way things go. But we also have to 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:16.880 look at the recruiting and things that were done by 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.560 the Navy during the G one. It was there was 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:24.320 some subtle, like real recruitment campaigns that were like, you know, basically, 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.400 you can't die in the Navy because we're not going 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:32.320 under the desert. So I believe Honestly, the Navy developed 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:38.359 like no O the last twenty really paid attention. It 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.879 was the Seaborn threat from you know, two thousand and 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.119 one to twenty twenty. It was it was really nothing. 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:49.439 We were so biting wrapped up in these wars. Everybody 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:55.640 was really paying attention. Rod has sung deep. Now I'm 0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.840 not exactly an expert on modern day Navy, but that's 0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:00.200
