1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is a Jesse

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Kelly Show, and I need to do a little setup

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: as we it's another hour the Jesse Kelly Show. I

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: need to do a little setup before we do Medal

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: of Honor Monday here, because, as you know, it's time

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: for Medal of Honor Monday. Every Monday at this time,

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: we take a Medal of Honor citation and we read it.

8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: That's all. Nothing special about it. Well, there's tons of

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: special about the citation and the men who did them.

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: But anyone can do this. Remember if you are a coach, teacher,

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe you're a manager at work. Nothing political about printing

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: off one of these and reading it for people. Something

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: you can do with your family. This is how we

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: honor the men, honor the deeds. That's how we encourage

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: more of these kinds of people and less the freaks

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: we have filling up our society. But before I get

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: to this, I need to, you know what, I should

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: probably do a little bit of the history of it afterwards,

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Man Beks, I don't know how long it's going to take,

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: so without further ado, this was World War Two, the

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: US Army Air Corps. That's kind of the precursor of

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the Air Force. But they were all army back then.

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: And this is the Medal of Honor citation for a

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Maynard Harrison Smith, Senior, who was actually known as Snuffy

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: right Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday. And this took place May one,

27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: nineteen forty three in Brest, France, for conspicuous gallantry and

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: intrepidity in action above and beyond the call of duty.

29
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: The aircraft of which Sergeant Smith was a gunner, was

30
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: subjected to intense anti enemy anti aircraft fire and determined

31
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: fighter airplane attacks while returning from a mission over enemy

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: occupied continental Europe on the first of May nineteen forty three.

33
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: The airplane was hit several times by anti aircraft fire

34
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: and cannon shells of fighter airplanes. Two of the crew

35
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: were seriously wounded, the aircraft's oxygen systems shot out, and

36
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: several vital control cables severed when intense fires were ignited

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: simultaneously in their radio compartment and waste sections. The situation

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: became so acute that three of the crew bailed out

39
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: into the comparative safety of the sea. Sergeant Smith then

40
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: on his first combat mission, elected to fight the fire

41
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: by himself, administered first aid to the wounded tail gunner,

42
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: manned the waistguns, and fought the intense flames, all alternatively actly.

43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: The escaping oxygen fanned the fire to such intense heat

44
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: that the ammunition and the radio compartment began to explode.

45
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: The radio gun mountain camera were melted, and the compartment

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: completely gutted. Sergeant Smith threw the exploding ammunition overboard, fought

47
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the fire until all the firefighting aids were exhausted, man

48
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: the workable guns until the enemy fighter were driven away,

49
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: further administered first aid to his wounded comrade, then, by

50
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: wrapping himself and protecting cloth, completely extinguished the fire by hand.

51
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: This soldier's gallantry and action, undaunted, bravery, and loyalty to

52
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: his aircraft and fellow crew members, without regard for his

53
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: own personal safety, as an inspiration to the unit US

54
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Armed Forces. Now, I thought it would be appropriate to

55
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: give these guys a little bit more time and give

56
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: us all a little bit more perspective. All right, So

57
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: let's do a little history. Little history, Chris, I can

58
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: do history before we talk about the system and reparations

59
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: and everything. Else, I can do whatever I want. Okay,

60
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Hitler takes Europe. Ding ding ding, there's some news for

61
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: you from a journalist. No, seriously, Hitler took Europe and

62
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: began fortifying Europe. Now, eventually, as you know, Japan attacked us.

63
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: Hitler declared war on us, and we wanted to go

64
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: beat the Germans because they declared war on us, which

65
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I still don't even understand what he was thinking. Why

66
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: would you, as Hitler declared, weren't even mad at Germany.

67
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: We didn't like Germany, we didn't like the Nazis. Americans

68
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: hated the Nazis, but we didn't want to go to war.

69
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: We didn't go want to go fight to Japanese and

70
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: then Hitler at tax Us. Anyway, long story short, we

71
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: eventually have to go over there and try to root

72
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: these Nazi pieces of trash out of Europe. So we

73
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: stage in England. That's where the Eighth Air Force was

74
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: staged England. Now, if you're a history buff you already

75
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: understand some of this. To spare with me, we had

76
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: that's what the plane Snuffy was in was a B

77
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: seventeen Flying Fortress. Full disclosure, that's my favorite aircraft ever

78
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: I was in love to these to the point when

79
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I begged my parents one Christmas.

80
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: All I wanted for Christmas was a toy B seventeen.

81
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: All I wanted was they're so freaking cool. Okay, so

82
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: why the flying fortress? What's going on here? Well, some

83
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: of the stuff gets boring, but it's important to understand.

84
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: So you would take off from England and you would

85
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: go down to France and Germany other places in Europe

86
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: and you would bomb things. What were we bombing down there, Well,

87
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: everything we could get our hands on. We were bombing

88
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: on subs. They would have sub bases along the coast.

89
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Nazi subs were a pain in the rear end, so

90
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: you try to bomb the bases, try to take that away.

91
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: We would bomb factories of any kind we could find.

92
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Whatever they're making there, if they're making food for the

93
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: troops or AMMO for the troops, bomb the factories we

94
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: would bomb. Later on, we just flat out bomb cities

95
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: to dust. I do need to clarify something. You can't

96
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: imagine how inaccurate the bombing was if the technology just

97
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: wasn't there. They're not missiles, they're bombs. You're dropping them

98
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: from way up high. A million different things can happen,

99
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: and your bomb doesn't land on the munitions factory, it

100
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: lands ten blocks away at the middle school, and it's look,

101
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: it's really ugly. So you're flying over there on these missions. Well,

102
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the Germans, the Germans knew you were coming. They knew

103
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: that the Allies were staged in England, they knew the

104
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: bombers were there in England. And honestly, if you're somewhere

105
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: dug in, like if they were attacking your town right now,

106
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: wherever you are overhead bombing is probably the thing you

107
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: would fear more than anything else. If you ever read

108
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: accounts from I can think of one. I can't remember

109
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: the name of the book, Tunnels of Chu Chi or

110
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: something like that. There's a book about the tunnels, all

111
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: the tunnels in Vietnam, and it doesn't matter. I was

112
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: reading a book and that may not even be the

113
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: right one, but it was from a Vietnamese perspective, the

114
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Vietnamese soldiers. He was talking about what it was like

115
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: to live under the threat of aerial bombardment because we

116
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: were always flying our planes overhead and dropping all these

117
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: bombs in there, and you just got to the point

118
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: where if you're them, you're constantly looking up in the

119
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: sky and tunnels of Si Chi. Okay, wow, Okay, that

120
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: is a really good book. I don't know if that's

121
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: the book I read it, but yes, that's the book

122
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I read about the tunnel rats. Anyway, it doesn't matter,

123
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: but you learn to just live it. You fear it.

124
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: And we don't really have a good understanding of what

125
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: that's like. But right now, if I walked outside to

126
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: go get the mail and I heard something that might

127
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: be a plane boom, everyone would call out, all eyes

128
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: in the sky, Oh my gosh, it rules your existence,

129
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: all right. It's that kind of a big deal. That

130
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. So the damage's bombers can

131
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: do is extreme. Therefore, the things the Germans are going

132
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: to do the stop the bombers, they're going to take

133
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: extensive steps. They had two main steps to stop the bombers.

134
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Step number one anti aircraft guns. These things were really,

135
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: really incredible, and they were essentially shooting, for lack of

136
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: a better way to put it, grenades way way what

137
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of feet in the air. You set

138
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: a height on it and then you shoot it up

139
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: at the planes based on what you think their height is,

140
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: and it's an exploding grenade by the planes. Remember these

141
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: planes are not made of armor, just crap. Anything can

142
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: go right through real thin illuminum. Really, otherwise they're too heavy,

143
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: so you're blowing up grenades by them. And they would

144
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: send fighter planes up there, so the fighter planes they

145
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: would have a huge advantage over the beast seventeen. This

146
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: part saddens me to no end. Unless the B seventeen

147
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: had a fighter escort. If you were a B seventeen,

148
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: you're in this big, slow bomber. You need your fighter

149
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: planes with you to fight off their fighter planes. Now,

150
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: all that's fine and dandy, except here's the thing. Look

151
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: at the engines on a B seventeen, and then look

152
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: at the engines on a fighter plane. The B seventeen

153
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: simply holds a lot more fuel and can go a

154
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: lot further. So eventually you're going to lose your fighter escort.

155
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: And if you're a B seventeen and you are without

156
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: a fighter escort and you have anti aircraft guns shooting you,

157
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: but mainly fighter planes coming out, you are in deep trouble.

158
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: And again this saddens me because I always viewed this

159
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: plane as this fortress. They called it a flying fortress

160
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: because there were so many guns coming out from everywhere.

161
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: The waist guns along the side, there's a turret gun

162
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: on the top, there's a tail gunner. There's a couple

163
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: guns coming out the nose by the radio room. It's

164
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: and there's this is actually what Snuffy was. We're going

165
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: to talk about this in a moment. There was the

166
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,359
Speaker 1: ball turret. Now, the whole be seventeen was horribly dangerous.

167
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: The again, the Eighth Air Force lost more men in

168
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: World War Two than the Marines lost in the Pacific.

169
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: That's how many people died over there. It was horrific.

170
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: And I'll describe why it was horrific and why it

171
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: was actually extra horrific for the ball turret gunners in

172
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: a moment, and then we'll go back to talking about

173
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: the CDC and politics and other stuff. But first let's

174
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: talk about where do we put our money? Where do

175
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: you put your money? All the companies are losing value

176
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: in the market, they're all laying everyone off. Everyone is

177
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: practically putting up the bat signal that says recessions about

178
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: to be here. So what do we do? Remember things

179
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: you can touch and feel. You need to be investing

180
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: in real estate right now. Real estate, real estate, real estate.

181
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Why what does that house get you value forever? No

182
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: matter what the market does upstowns. You buy that house,

183
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: you can touch and feel it. You've added value, lasting value.

184
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Done for you, real estate. These are our people, with

185
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: our values, and they handle everything for you. They find

186
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: the best markets, they find the best houses and the

187
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: best markets. They vet them for you. They get the

188
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: finance and they get it insured. You don't do anything

189
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: but add value to your life. That's customer service, and

190
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: they're our people go to. Done for you, Jesse dot Com,

191
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: Done for you, Jesse dot Com. All right, check your money.

192
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: We'll be back. I've got on animal inside of me,

193
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: says Jesse Kelly. You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show.

194
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show. I am proud to

195
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: admit we have driven the show right off a bridge already.

196
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: I am a fish distracted by history. We'll get back

197
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: to CDC stuff and reparations and our embarrassing foreign policy.

198
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: I'll even get to your phone calls. Not right now.

199
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: I need to finish my history. But I didn't take

200
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: any calls at all last week, and I don't think

201
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: I took any of the week before. I feel bad.

202
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: The wife yelled at me and she said, you gotta

203
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: ad people talk. So eight seven seven three seven seven

204
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: four three seven three eight seven seven three seven seven

205
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: four three seven three remember no small talk, none, to

206
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: just get right to the point. All right, all right,

207
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: back to what we're talking about. So the B seventeen

208
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: Flying Fortress. It's big, it's really really cool, but it's

209
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: slow and without a Fighter X escort, it's in serious trouble. Now,

210
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: why do most people die? How did most people die

211
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: in the B seventeen Flying Fortress? This is, honestly, it's

212
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: the worst part of it. I almost didn't even tell

213
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: you this part because it sucks so bad, but I

214
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: thought we could. We can, I'll handle it. Most people

215
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: died in the B seventeen because it was going down

216
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get out. It's so big, and when

217
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: you think about it, and lots of times you're not

218
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: strapped in there and everything is in a door. Now'll

219
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: think about a plane that's spinning or a plane that's falling.

220
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: You just can't. It's not as simple as opening up

221
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: the door and jumping out of the plane. If you

222
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: had a parachute on you, even then it was difficult

223
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: to get out. And I've always hated that fact about

224
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: the whole thing because that means our guys traveled the

225
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: whole way down to the ground before they died, and

226
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: that's no fun at all. But that look, lots of

227
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: guys got shot to pieces and blown up with the

228
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: flack before they went down, Which brings us to the

229
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: coolest part of the B seventeen and the most dangerous

230
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: part by a mile, of the B seventeen, the ball

231
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: turret gunner. If you're driving, please do not do this.

232
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Everyone else, if it interests you at all, interest me,

233
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: go look at a picture of the beet seventeen. You

234
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: see that ball sticking out the belly of it, the

235
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: bottom of it, with twin fifty cows in it. That

236
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: was the ball turret, all right. The ball turret was

237
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: not originally there. They put it there because the fighter planes,

238
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: enemy fighter planes figured out, wow, fighting these guys, fighting

239
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: these bombers from underneath. They're a sitting duck. They can't

240
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: do anything to me, so we'll come up from underneath.

241
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: They put the ball turret there Originally the ball toret

242
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: was remote controlled, but it was almost impossible to operate.

243
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: Remember we're not talking about the era of touch screens

244
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that here. So they reconfigured it, and

245
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I just oh, just thinking about this, because I don't

246
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: like small spaces that much. Just thinking about this drives

247
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: me crazy. You had to be a very small person

248
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: to fit in there. They reconfigured it so that. All right,

249
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: let me put it to you this way. I'm gonna

250
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: try to put this so in case you're driving, I

251
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: want you to picture this, all right. I want you

252
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: to picture both guns pointing straight down. Okay, guns are

253
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: pointing straight down at the bottom of the plane. That's

254
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: how it had to be configured for the ball turret

255
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: gun or to get in or out of it. There

256
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: was only one doors you could imagine, and that door

257
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: it had to be facing that way to get in

258
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: or out of it. He could not be in it

259
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: when they took off. It had to retract into the

260
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: plane obviously, because it hangs out the bottom or landing.

261
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: You really didn't want to be in it when you

262
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: were landing, like an emergency landing with the landing gear out,

263
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: And that happened but I'll set that aside so it

264
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: takes off. He then has to climb down in this

265
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: ball turret. Now I want you to wrap your mind

266
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: around the bravery, because this is a snuffy guy. The

267
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: ball turret was so tiny you had to be tiny

268
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: to qualify to get in it. You would shoot the

269
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: twin fifty cows between your legs, basically put your feet

270
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: down by the barrels, and your face was at the

271
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: back end of it. You're shooting between your legs, and

272
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: it was too small for you to wear a parachute.

273
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: You could not wear a parachute. It was also the

274
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: gun the Germans feared the most. It was the gun

275
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: they shot at the most. It was also made of

276
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: aluminum and plexiglass, meaning forget about the German fighter heavy

277
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: cannons they're shooting at you. I'm fairly certain I could

278
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: shoot my twenty two squirrel rifle right through that thing

279
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: like a blow torch through butter plexiglass and aluminum. It's

280
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: a death trap. Oh, not only are they all shooting

281
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: at you with no parachute, you have to turn the

282
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: thing side to side and try to find the fighter

283
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: planes who are coming at you, and you don't have

284
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty degree vision. You have to locate

285
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: them and shoot them before they shoot you out of

286
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: the plane. Can you even comprehend the bravery it takes

287
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: to stare down twenty thousand feet with no parachute on

288
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: as a German fighter plane is screaming up at you,

289
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: firing at you with no protection and no parachute at all.

290
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: That's a balter at gunner. That's awesome.

291
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: Man.

292
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: The Eighth Air Force totally underrated. I'm actually very excited.

293
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: I've been told I hope this is true. I didn't

294
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: look it up. I've been told you know how they

295
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: made that series Band of Brothers about Europe, and then

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: they made kind of a twin series, The Pacific about

297
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: the Pacific fighting. I've been told that a project honoring

298
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: the Eighth Air Force and everything I just described to

299
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: you was in the works I believe by HBO. Chris Michael.

300
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: We looked that up, so I'll keep you updated on

301
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: that if that turns out to be the case. But

302
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: the flying fortresses, those Eight Air Force guys, man, as

303
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: much as I give crack, give the Air Force crap

304
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: just because it's fun, Dude, those guys I'm amazing you

305
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: could fit in the ball to it with the big

306
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: brass ones. Oh, Masters of the Air, it is coming out, okay,

307
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Masters of the Air. Do we know when it's coming out? Chris?

308
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Can you try to find that out? Anyway? It doesn't matter,

309
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Masters of the Air. Okay. So there is a new

310
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: one coming out. It will be heavy, it will be difficult.

311
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: They would lose a lot of guys, but it'll be awesome.

312
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about the system shifting some people

313
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: around on us trying to throw a little loaf of

314
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: bread to placate the masses. But first let's talk about

315
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: your shooting. You practice this weekend with your Manti sex.

316
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: Are you faster and deadlier now than you were on Friday?

317
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: I hope? So remember these shootings are taking place all

318
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: the time now, all the time, mental health issues, drug issues,

319
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: a country flooded with the illegal. It's just it's really

320
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: really bad out there. No one's going to save you

321
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: and yours but you. So if God forbid it happens

322
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: and you have to pull out your weapon in public

323
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: and deadlier than the guy who's there to kill you,

324
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Mantis X will make sure you are the green Bereys

325
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: use it for a reason. The Marines use it for

326
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: a reason. You dry fire practice in the comfort of

327
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: your home. You don't have to leave the air conditioning,

328
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: and they're putting you through drills, giving you feedback, getting

329
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: you better go to mantisx dot com. All right, mantisx

330
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: dot com. We'll be back with the system and your calls.

331
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: He he doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right.

332
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, it is the Jesse Kelly Show, reminding you

333
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

334
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Apparently we had some problems with the phones, but they're

335
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: all fixed now. Eight seven seven three seven seven four

336
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: three seven three eight seven seven three seven seven four

337
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: three seven three. Couple more things on the ball turret Gunner.

338
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I mentioned this. I'm not sure if I made this

339
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: clear though. The ball to it just a couple quick things.

340
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: Sixty percent, mortality right six zero. The average for B

341
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: seventeen was nineteen nineteen percent ball to it sixty percent.

342
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: And this is the part that gets me when you

343
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: consider what this means. I mentioned it, but I don't

344
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: think I clarified it quite enough. As we're getting ready

345
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: to move on here. The ball it can't be down

346
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: for takeoff or landing for obvious reasons. It would be

347
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: on the ground correct well, it raises and lowers hydraulically.

348
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: What does that mean. It means you need things to

349
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: be functioning in the plane for it to raise or lower.

350
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: Right You with me? Also, it was not at all uncommon,

351
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to say routine, but it was very

352
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: much the norm to have to land without at least

353
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: one portion of your landing gear. So you've already gotten

354
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: to where you should be. But I want you to

355
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: picture this moment. You're in a ball tore it. The

356
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: ball to it can only be in a single position

357
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: to have you be able to get out of the

358
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: ball to it, and someone else needs to be there

359
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: to help you get out. It's a two man job

360
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: to get in and out. Okay, still with me. So

361
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: you're in the ball turret. The ball tore it because

362
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: of all the bullets and flak is no longer working,

363
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: it's no longer turning, it's no longer able to go

364
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: up into the B seventeen, and you're flying back to

365
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: your base without working landing gear. You are flying to

366
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: where you know not think maybe you know you're about

367
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: to be smashed into a potato chip when you hit

368
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: the ground. This did not happen once. This was a

369
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: very very common thing. Now, do you respect the ball

370
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: to at gunner more than you did before? People don't

371
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: even know the existed ball to gunners and tunnel rats man?

372
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: All right? CDC director Rochelle Wolinsky announced his departure from

373
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: the Public Health Agency. Now, one thing I saw today

374
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: is we're gonna move on against some emails and get

375
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: some phone calls and things like that. One thing I

376
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: saw was people celebrating this today. Nice, she should be gone.

377
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: Good for her. I'm glad she's leaving. Well, no, this

378
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: is what the system does. This is what people who

379
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: are members, card carrying members of the system does. Rachelle

380
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: Wilensky took over the CDC. She promptly did exactly as

381
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: the system told her to do. She ran to every

382
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: single news program every chance she got, and told every

383
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: single person that the vaccine would keep them from getting COVID,

384
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: that would it would keep them from spreading COVID. She

385
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: didn't know any of this. In fact, let's be honest,

386
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: she knew all this was a lie. So she went

387
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: on the news and told the American people over and

388
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again it was

389
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: a lie. Now all the information is coming out, so

390
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: people know that this information was a lie. And now

391
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: she's resigning, gonna move on, and people are celebrating this one.

392
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: Even if she was getting fired. Getting fired is not

393
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: enough accountability for intentionally misleading over three hundred million American citizens.

394
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Even if it was just getting fired, that wouldn't be

395
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: near good enough. That's one. Two. She's not leaving like that.

396
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: She's leaving on her own accord. She's going to walk

397
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: out of her job as the head of the CDC,

398
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: and she is going to walk right into a lucrative

399
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: career of some kind in academia, in the media somewhere.

400
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: That is a fact. But the system is going to

401
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: do this a lot now as they're try trying to

402
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: gear up for an election year. I believe now this

403
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: is why we've seen foul. She say I was in lockdown, guy,

404
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't this. We've seen Randy Winingarden out there every

405
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: other day now, Communist John Denver, I wanted to get

406
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: this called open like she talks. I'm sure that's what

407
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: we're seeing now the CDC director is leaving. I've humbly served.

408
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna move on. They're gearing up for an

409
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: election year and trying to dump all that old stuff

410
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: and gets you to change your mind about how mad

411
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: you are about COVID. Don't let COVID go. I am

412
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: not all right eight seven seven three seven seven four

413
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: three seven three George West, Virginia, go boss.

414
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was telling your colleague. I have had the

415
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: singular good fortune to go into a BET seventeen pilot

416
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: letting me and my son go in and look around.

417
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: And a few years later had the singular honor to

418
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: go inside of a forty seven that flew across the

419
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: channel on D Day. The pilot was Engli and he

420
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: was flying in here. They have an organization called ram

421
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: R a M. Remote Area Medical. They come in here

422
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: and help us hellari'es out, you know. But it was

423
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: it was really something to to see these things. And

424
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: there's a poem, mister Jesse, that if you haven't a

425
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: lot familiar with, by Randall Jarrell j A r R. E. L.

426
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 3: It's called Death of a Politary Gunner. You can't read

427
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: it on radio. I mean it's just brutal. And when

428
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 3: I was in Vietnam for two weeks, we thought the

429
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: South Vietnamese Air Force were just you know, uh, practicing,

430
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: but we found out a little later they were actually

431
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: bombing in a company size sized medical facility underground right

432
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: off the base camp.

433
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm tony right now. He's talking about

434
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: the tunnels of Vietnamese tunnels, and I brought these up before.

435
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: That should be back to talking about politics, but I

436
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm nerding out now when people hear about

437
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: the Vietnamese tunnels, the tunnels in South Vietnam. Part of

438
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: the reason they were so good was remember the Vietnamese,

439
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: the Viet Kong had previously been the Vietnam Minh is

440
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: what they were called when they were running the French

441
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: out of there. The French were running that place in

442
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: the fifties, and they had used those tunnels and built

443
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: up those tunnels back then, so they were they were

444
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: already established tunnels. And it wasn't just a tunnel. When

445
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: you dig into the tunnels, there were levels to them.

446
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: As he just pointed out, there were whole hospitals underneath it,

447
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: the cafeterias underneath it. There were places every now and

448
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: then they could watch a movie underground. There was there

449
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: was you could go down to the to the third floor,

450
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: to the second floor, to the tunnels would curve instead

451
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: of being in a straight line, so you couldn't do

452
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: things just like shoot something down the tunnel. Is wild man.

453
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Some of those guys, they're not They're not They're not

454
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: right in the head. Max, and Seattle has a correction

455
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: for me.

456
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: Go Max, Oh, hey, Jesse, my names Max. I've been

457
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: listening to you for quite a while, and I've got

458
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: a unique background. I actually grew up in Great Britain

459
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: in the sixties. We talk about that some other time,

460
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 4: about socialism and why my dad, thank God rest in

461
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 4: Peace brought us to America when Boeing was hiring a

462
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: lot of British engineers, aerospace guys. I'm actually an aerospace

463
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 4: guy myself, and so I'm a World War Two fanatic

464
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: and don't want to cause the problem, but and I

465
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 4: actually flew on I don't know if you know. There

466
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: was a B seventeen called the nine oh nine.

467
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: Just get to it. What do you need to correct?

468
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 4: Area code fal Turrett. It was not retractable. These guys

469
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 4: had it much worse than what you're saying it was not.

470
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: It was redactable. Maybe not all of them are of

471
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: but it most definitely was retractable. Uh. Now he may

472
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: now an aerospace guy that I have to assume he

473
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: knows more about it than me. The one I read

474
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: about was retractable. So you know what we're digging into

475
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: that in a second. Oh, that'll be exciting. He's probably right. Crap,

476
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna be embarrassing. Dang, Chris. If he's right, we'll

477
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: cut that part out. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We'll look

478
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: it up. If he's right, we'll go anyway. We got

479
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: to go to break. Before we get a break, we'll

480
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: talk about some reparations in our embarrassing foreign policy when

481
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: we get back and more phone calls eight seven seven

482
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: three seven seven four three seven three. Let's talk about

483
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: the retirement you worked hard for, You work for it,

484
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: You put it into four to one k or IRA

485
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: so you would be able to retire one day, and

486
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: now they're destroying it, the value of your dollar, they're

487
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: destroying the stock market, they're pretty much just wrecking all

488
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: of it. So we're all going to work until we're

489
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: ninety pretty much. Well, probably not the people who call

490
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group to get gold or silver in their

491
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: four to one k or ira, because when the bubble burst,

492
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: the people who have precious metals in their retirement, they

493
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: don't lose everything. You see, call eight three three nine

494
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: nine five gold and do it. They will do it

495
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: for you. They make it easy, but do it before

496
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: you get your retirement wiped out. Eight three three nine

497
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: nine five Gold. All right, we'll be back, mists, catch

498
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: up Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.

499
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to reparations and emails and your phone calls

500
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.

501
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: I should say Max was right. The B seventeen ball

502
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: to it not retractable. That's actually somehow worse. The B

503
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: twenty four's was retractable. To be twenty four is another

504
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: World War two bomber. It sucked. I didn't like that,

505
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: but the B seventeen was freaking awesome. But yes, oh yeah,

506
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: the guy was right about the poem. The poem is

507
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: very short, The death of the ball tore it Gunner.

508
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: Apparently this was written by one or something from my

509
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: mother's sleep. I fell into the state, and I hunched

510
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: in its betty in its belly, till my wet fur

511
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: froze six miles from earth, loose from its dream of life.

512
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: I woke to black Flack in the Nightmare Fighters. When

513
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: I died, they washed me out of the turret with

514
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: a hose. So that wasn't that's not very good. That's

515
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: not not a pleasant thought. But yeah, look, look, if

516
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: you're stuck in there and the landing gear isn't working,

517
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: it's all that shooting. You're dad, and you know what. Ah,

518
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: that's crazy. It's just wild to think about.

519
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: All right, all right.

520
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: They took a couple of things. One, I only half

521
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: jokingly refer to this country as the US of Gay

522
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: often now, because it really has become the national religion.

523
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: Everything has to be about that, Everything has to pay

524
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: homage to that. And sometimes I'll get some pushback on that. Jesse,

525
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I think you're overstating at Jesse, it's a media campaign

526
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: or Hollywood. Just listen to this headline. Ram Emmanuel. Yes,

527
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: that's Obama's former chief of staff. He's our ambassador to Japan.

528
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: You probably didn't know that, but he is. He is

529
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: blasted for what in Japan Now we send him to Japan.

530
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Japan is now not so much before. Japan is now

531
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: one of our closest allies. And not only are they

532
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: just wonderful people. I love Japan, I love the country,

533
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: I love the people. They really are an important ally

534
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: for many reasons, most definitely militarily. God forbid it ever

535
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: cooks off with the Chai Coms, the Japanese are gonna

536
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: be the ones that are gonna have to be with

537
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: standing the whole thing. Now, what's our ambassador to Japan doing?

538
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Apparently he's overturned or he's angered greatly the Japanese people

539
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: because he's over there as ambassador pushing lgbt T in Japan.

540
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Chris said, why? Why? What do you mean why? Chris? Now,

541
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're rolling your eyes now, because

542
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: do you think you know what I want to say?

543
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: What do you mean why? It's our religion? Do you

544
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: think Israel's ambassadors talk about Judaism in places they go?

545
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm positive they do. It's their national religion. Do you

546
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: think Iran's ambassadors do you think they bring up Islam

547
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: wherever they go? Of course they do, so why wouldn't

548
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: America's ambassador push the new religion of the state. It's

549
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: what we worship here. Everything has to be about it.

550
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Everything has to be gay, everything has to be trans

551
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: everything has to be at all times. Our entire society

552
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: revolves around it at all times. To an extent, if

553
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: some tranny shoots up a Christian school, the media and

554
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: the government, including the FBI, they'll run cover for the

555
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: tranning because you can't make the national religion look bad.

556
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't do. You can't make the national religion

557
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: look bad. Gosh, dear fast dear by the way, that's

558
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: a good time to read this one, Dear most handsome Oracle.

559
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: I heard your comments on the bud light boycott. Was

560
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: thrilled by the way, latest and greatest on that pause

561
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: really quickly. Anheuser Busch keeps firing people at this point

562
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: in time. They fired a third party agency who they're

563
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: blaming for it. They just keep firing everyone who had

564
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: anything to do with it. You have a major American

565
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: corporation on their heels. Please don't stop keep going, which

566
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: brings me to this email. I have started to boycott

567
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: other companies and shredded my ALTA card and told them

568
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: I would no longer be buying from their stores because

569
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: of their use of Dylan mulvaney. Their reply was that

570
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: beauty came in all forms, and we would remain. We

571
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: need to make examples of these companies, so they think

572
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: twice yes, yes, Yes, her name is Wendy, Yes, this

573
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: is Anheuser Busch. They provided the template for us. The

574
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: Communists have done this for years. It's time for us

575
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: to get in the whip up the outrage game and

576
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: start making carcasses of these companies like we did Annheuser Busch.

577
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: Why because the next time a board meets, a big

578
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: corporation's board sits down and meets, and they're trying to

579
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: figure out just how gay the next advertising campaign should be.

580
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: They need to account for you too. They've never had

581
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: to account for you because the right has always been well,

582
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't boycott. That's not who we are. Pathetic, all right?

583
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.

584
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: Chuck Colorado, you got to jump out of a B seventeen.

585
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Jesse. I was on the Army parasue team back

586
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: in the eighties, and every year we did a show

587
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: at the Geneseo Woarlplane Museum in New York, and I

588
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: have lost count how many times I've jumped out it.

589
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: The bombing doors were wired shut, but we jumped out

590
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: of the waist gunner access door, and I am blown

591
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 2: away about how fortunate I have been in my life

592
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: to have had that opportunity.

593
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Chuck tell me this because I'm curious. We talked about

594
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: it earlier. I've never been in one, obviously, I've been

595
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: in planes. I've never been in one. The plane's going down, obviously,

596
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm glad none of yours did. But the planes going

597
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: down over France or Germany somewhere, How difficult would it

598
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: be with a plane doing that to try to get

599
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: to that door and get out, Because apparently that was

600
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: the problem. I could never get out of the dagone thing.

601
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: Well, two years after I left the parachute team friends

602
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: of mine was still there and we flew in Folker

603
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: F twenty sevens and too many jumpers at the back

604
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: caused it to stall and flip upside down, and a

605
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: really good friend of mine retired. Now he stayed in

606
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: with one guy that broke his ribbed and punctured his lung,

607
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: but he had to drag him across the floor, the

608
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: floor of the aircraft now being the ceiling, hauling faster

609
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: than a person could, so they were literally pinned to

610
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: the floor which is now the ceiling because the airplaness inverted.

611
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: But Eddie was able to pull the wounded soldier near

612
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,600

613
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: afraid that if he got out of the plane, which

614
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,480

Speaker 2: himself and the punctured lung soldier to the back of

616
