WEBVTT - Hour 3: A Long Dinner 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:17.000 This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.800 Kelly Show. Final hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. On 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.480 and ask doctor Jesse Friday. And I'm gonna get to 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:29.479 so many emails this hour. Why my focus is just 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.320 stay focused because I'm focused. We're gonna talk about saying 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.479 the pledge of allegiance somebody doesn't want to anymore. We're 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.000 gonna do a little history on Nan King here for 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.239 a minute. I'll try to get through that quickly. We've 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.800 gotta do a bunch of great stuff this hour. Now, 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.360 the question was about Nan King. Have I ever talked 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.319 about it on the show? I had before? So let 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.360 me just do. I'm gonna do this story as briefly 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.000 as I can. I find what happened in Nan King 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:04.920 to be horrific but also fascinating because what happened in 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:12.360 Nanking was not unique. It was unique for the modern era. 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.920 That's why it shocked people so much at the time 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.080 and why it still shocks people to this day. And 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.240 I'm not I'm not. I'm not. I'm not acting like 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.160 what happened there wasn't horrific. I'm not. I'm not making 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:32.440 small of the misery those people went through. I'm not 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:37.640 making light of it, but it was not unique. Sacking 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.280 cities is the history of the world. So the setup is, 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.560 Remember we treat the start of World War two as 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.640 when the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, or even when Hitler 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.520 invaded Poland. These these are, you know, the traditional times 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.520 when people say that's where World War two started. Japan 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.480 and China were at war for ten years before Hitler 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:03.279 and Poland ever started getting and on. Japan. They rose 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.160 up from a very backwards country technologically to a very 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.639 modern country. They decided they wanted to expand a bit. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.880 It was a very militaristic country. The leadership of it 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.760 certainly was they got into Manchuria, an area you've heard 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.680 of before. Manchuria in China started just pretty much occupying it. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.760 They were just moving in. Okay, well we like it here, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.399 we run it now. That's kind of moving in. Then 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:37.760 comes nineteen thirty seven Shanghai. Americans were here and Americans 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.160 died during this. But this is one of the things 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.320 most people don't know about. Shanghai. Obviously then and now 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:49.480 a major city in China. Japan began attacking it, and 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:56.079 I'm talking Japanese marines marching through the cities, Japanese planes 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:02.600 flying overhead, bombs dropping on the city. We're talking craziness. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.920 It was now a complete hot war between Japan and China. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.440 Shanghai falls. The Chinese army is as such as it 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.720 was at the time. There were no match for the 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.799 Japanese army, and they were in such disarray that they 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.359 began fleeing Shanghai. This is going to come into the 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:27.280 rape of Nanking. They began fleeing Shanghai, and many of 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:33.720 them were fleeing towards Nang King, all right, towards Nang King. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.160 Nanking at the time was the capital of China. Keep 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.520 that in mind. The soldiers are not only fleeing towards 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.360 Nang King of a couple things are happening, well, many 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.600 things are happening along the way. The Japanese didn't just 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.480 run them out of Shanghai and say, yeah, that's right, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.680 don't ever come back. The Japanese, remember, this was a 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:02.520 real war of hatred and bigotry. Hated them, the Japanese. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.640 I've seen interviews from Japanese soldiers back then saying, look, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.720 we were just taught. These people were less than us. 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.000 These people were dogs, they were rats what they thought 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.080 of them as. And that's always when horrible things happening. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.760 You're seeing it happen here in America right now with 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.719 people on the right, with Trump supporters, with white people, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.000 you're hearing this kind of same kind of language. Anyway, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.680 the Japanese are pursuing them as the troops. The Chinese 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.599 troops are leaving Shanghai, and the Chinese troops who are 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.479 leaving Shanghai have a good reason to do so the 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:41.200 Japanese are starting to prove to everybody they're not taking prisoners. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.600 They're killing everyone. They're digging massive ditches and they're killing 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.800 everyone they find. The river that flews through Shanghai was 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.520 full of dead Chinese troops. They just take them down 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.000 to the river and shoot them in a head and 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.919 dump them into water. So the Chinese troops were leaving 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.440 for a very good reason, and they're running towards Nanking 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.240 from Shanghai. The Japanese are in hot pursuit. They are 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.039 killing them every chance they get. They're executing them, burying 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.760 them alive, cutting their heads off. It's really really bad. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.960 And the road from Shanghai to Nang king was a 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:22.240 bloody one, which brings us to Nanking. The Japanese show 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:27.280 up at Nanking and the Chinese were simply unable. They 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.720 had no military capability to withstand japan who is no joke. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.520 And the Japanese storm into Nanking and seize the town. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.360 There's a fight for it, there's a fight for it, 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.400 but it wasn't that much of a fight. The Japanese. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:51.080 They take Nan King. But the Japanese had a public 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.760 relations problem, and it was of their own making. You 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.920 remember how I told you they were a very kind 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.680 of technologically backwards country. You were talking swords and sandals 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.559 and samurai stuff. Well they were for a long time. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.840 They were very isolated. They cut themselves off from the world, 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.800 and they were and then they realized they had to modernize, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:17.080 so they did. They modernized, but they didn't they didn't 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:24.640 leave all of the old world behind them. They'd come 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.920 up in an era of samurais and feudal lords and 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:33.720 feudal fights, and the Japanese brought the old way of 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:38.040 doing war with them, and in that way of doing war, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:44.760 when you conquer a city, you do with it as 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.080 you please. That wasn't a uniquely Japanese thing. What's that 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.920 old saying to the victor, go the spoils. That's an 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:57.480 ancient proverb about war. When you conquer a place, it 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.039 is yours. You want to be nice, be nice? You 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.479 want to be mean, Be mean. You want to pull 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.159 a Genghis Khan and slaughter every man, woman, child, and dog, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.960 Go ahead. You want to slaughter just half of them 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.320 and enslave the others, go ahead. Either way. You conquered it. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.320 It belongs to you. And when they walked in a Nanking, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.480 that's what they did. They looked at the Chinese as 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.800 being less than them, as being some kind of subspecies, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.200 and they begin to slaughter these people and slaughter these 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.800 people in unimaginable ways, in ways that I'm not going 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.000 to outline here because I know there are kids listening. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.680 It's a family show. There are things that are difficult 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.760 for me to read. That's how bad it is. Babies 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.840 and bayonets, that kind of a thing. There are also, 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.960 and I want to call kids, listen to me. Do 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.520 not look this stuff up without talking to your parents first. 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:02.160 Please you can look at pictures of what the Japanese 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.680 did in Nanking. Chris, please don't do it. I know 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.640 what you're doing right now. You don't want to see it. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.920 I'm tony, you don't want it in your mind. You 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.400 can look at pictures. It's unspeakable. And so the Japanese 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.200 occupy the city and they just begin to rape and pillage, 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.480 and also their officers didn't hold them back. In fact, 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:25.120 their officers encouraged them to do so. Also they were 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.240 bored after they conquered the city. Boredom and men is 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:34.560 a bad formula in peacetime. In wartime, it's disastrous. The 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.240 Japanese troops would routinely get into the booze of the 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.319 local area, and once they got all liquored up, the 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.960 atrocities got even worse. In fact, a lot of areas 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.880 later on in the war that were about to be 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.480 conquered by the Japanese, one of the first things the 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.000 citizens would do is destroy all the alcohol. They would 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.199 destroy all the alcohol in the town, so when the 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.439 Japanese got there, at least they wouldn't get drunk when 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.880 they got there. I don't want to go into any 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.839 more detail. I want to go into ask doctor Jesse 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.640 questions and stuff like that, and the detail you would 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.720 get from here is nothing but dore. It's really really 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.560 really really ugly, but there are valuable lessons you can 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.400 learn from it. And one of the most valuable ones. Look, 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.959 you've heard, You've heard me go over over and over 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.800 and over and over and over again. How dangerous it 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:29.000 is the rhetoric you hear now constantly about maga Republicans 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.200 and maga this and maga that, extreme Maga Republicans, extreme this, Maga, 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.400 maga maga routinely from the media, from the President himself. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:44.880 When you constantly in education media, when society's leaders constantly 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.240 take a group of people, any group of people, bet 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.200 whether it be a political opponent or a religion or 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.040 a skin color, whatever it is, you constantly tell society 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.160 that this group of people's evil, and this group of 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.280 people's evil. Then this group of people's evil. All it 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.520 takes is a spark, and that's that's a path to 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:09.240 some really really really horrible things. And yeah, enjoying those pictures, Huh, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.360 Chris told you not to look it up. I told you. Anyway, 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.280 that's the story there, all right. Before we get into 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.920 any ask doctor Jesse questions. A woman filmed herself being 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.800 fired went viral all over the internet. We're gonna have 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.400 a little talk about life real quick before we get 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.000 back to politics. You know what else I think about 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:36.640 when it comes to Nanking? What about the dogs? What, Chris? 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.240 I bet none of those dogs were getting any nutrition 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.280 during all that. Listen, Chris, when you're starving people out, 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:48.439 the people aren't getting proper nutrition. The dogs are surely 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.840 not going to get any nutrition. Think if you could 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.320 go back and at least get the dogs some rough greens. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.800 That way, the dogs would have all the vitamins and 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.160 minerals and probiotics they could need to survive Japanese occupation. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.120 But they didn't have that back then, so the dogs 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.000 died too. Luckily, your dog doesn't have to live through 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.240 nan King. Your dog has rough greens. Pour it on 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.720 your dog's food. Your dog's food is dead. There's no 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.480 nutrition in it, this scarbage. You don't have to make 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.679 him give up his food. I know Muffy likes the food. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.680 Just pour rough greens on it. Your dog will live 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:26.680 longer and live better healthier. Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.200 roughgreens dot com slash Jesse, or call them eight three 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:36.559 three three three, my dog, We'll be back you're listening 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.120 to the ourcle you love this one.

I'm 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.679 freaking ready for the weekend. You know it gets me 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.120 ready for the weekend. The Freedom Bandito. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:59.520 Ay yi yay yuy, I am the crecky. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.400 I like printo stornchips. I love them. I do I 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.160 want printo scornchits. I'll get them from you. I yi 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:09.319 yai yai. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:15.920 Oh ymb Fritto buntito, Give me brito scornchitch and I'll 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.000 be your friends. The Fritto Buntito. You must not appin 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.360 munch munch a bunch of Britos. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.280 All right, Before we get to the pledge of llegiance stuff, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.720 let's let's deal with just one more tidbit that we've 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.880 talked about before, but clearly I need to talk about 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.599 it again. This is the social media era. I'm not 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.560 gonna be Grandpa Jesse and complain about that social media 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.360 can be wonderful and can be used for wonderful things, 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.640 and just like anything else, it can be horrible and 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.480 can be used for horrible things. But there's something we 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:58.200 all have to keep in mind on social media, when 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:03.280 people are replying to you or liking your post or 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.959 something like that, that's not actually a tangible thing that 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.120 matters in real life. For example, I saw somebody recently. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.920 I'm not gonna name him, but I saw somebody. He 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.360 was talking about the Ron de Santis campaign and how 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.160 it failed, and you know, because his the primary is 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.680 over and Trump's gonna win it, and DeSantis did this 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.720 and on my Life. On my Life, the guy said 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.959 what DeSantis really needed was a better online meme team 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.520 who could make good memes for him online. And I 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.000 thought to myself, man, you really need to get off 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.959 the internet. That has nothing to do with winning or 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.880 losing races. You need to get off of the internet. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.679 But this is how people think real life works. And 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.079 I thought about this again when I saw a woman 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.880 bag on her employer. I'm not going to give out 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.960 her name. I want to blame anymore, but she was 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.120 being fired. She's a tech lady, and she filmed herself 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.280 being fired and named her employer and all that filmed 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.840 herself being fired. And then in the wake of that, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.720 she said this. I have received so many messages of 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.840 people telling me I wish I could have stood up 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.560 for myself the way you did. I'm just gonna say 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.640 this again, and I'm gonna keep repeating this without end. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:38.800 Do not trash your former employer or former spouse or 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:44.640 ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend. Do not blast them online. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:51.200 Do not blast them online. And no, I'm not defending them. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.920 Maybe your ex husband is a piece of crap who 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:59.280 deserves it. Maybe your ex employer former employer is horrible 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.000 and does nerves it. The reason you don't blast them 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:09.520 online is not for their sake, it's for your sake. Because, yes, woman, 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:14.440 I realize you've received so many messages saying you go Caryl. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.400 Have any of those messages been from another employer wanting 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:26.560 to hire you? No? Why, Because every potential future employer 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:32.440 of yours just watched you crucify your last employer online. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.040 None of them want to be the next one on 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.080 your TikTok channel. Therefore, yes, you got all kinds of 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.520 likes and support. However, you don't have another job and 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.520 you probably won't have another job because you live in 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.120 a social media world where you think everything has to 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.640 be put online. Suck it up and shut up, because 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.480 the best revenge is living. Well. You want to stick 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.080 it to your former employer, go get a job with 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.840 a better employer and kill it one day. You didn't 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.280 teach them a single lesson you, however, I hope are 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.560 learning a valuable one now. Oh, don't get me wrong. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.200 I'm sure your Facebook is going gangbusters. You know what's 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:24.040 not your bank account. This applies in personal relationships as well, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.680 And I know the temptation. Ah my ex girlfriend had 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.520 smelly feet. Ah my ex husband he was such a 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.280 He was such a mean, mean guy. He used to 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.680 kick the dog. Nobody should date Rob. Okay, well, you 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.960 sure showed Rob, but you also showed the next twenty 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.400 five potential dates of yours that you're a nutcase who 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.600 will blast them publicly if things don't work out. So 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.160 don't complain when the dating scene dries up on you. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.280 There's something to be said for sucking it up and 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:03.400 shutting up. I know that goes against the grain with 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:08.399 everything we hear today, But kids, listen to me. Everything 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.840 doesn't have to go on Facebook or wait, the kids 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.240 don't use that anymore, Chris, Instagram or Snapchat? Is that 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.280 what the kids use? Snat the things don't have to 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:21.119 go on Snapchat. Okay, some things can stay off of 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:25.720 the Internet. And remember this, likes and replies or whatever 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.919 they are online, they might make you feel good for 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:35.720 a moment. They actually they can't pay for your new MyPillow. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.040 They can't even pay for your new mattress and mattress topper. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.640 And this is at a time when my Pillows having 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.239 their huge New Year's sale. Even with the huge New 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.719 Year's sale, we're talking free shipping and everything, even with 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.879 everything so discounted. Even then, the likes on Snapchat. Do 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.199 they have likes on Snapchat? Michael? Is that? Can you 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:02.640 like things? Whatever? Even then the on snapchat don't pay 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.760 for your MyPillow. You know what does pay for your MyPillow? 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:10.680 A job. That's what does keep your head down, your 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.160 mouth shut. The best revenge is living well. Also take 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.960 advantage of the MyPillow New Year's sale while it lasts. Uh, 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.160 look in on those mattress toppers. You know everyone they say, oh, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.640 change your mattress every to five years or something, as 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.840 if anyone has the money for that, maybe just go 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.400 pick up mattress topper. You're ready to for your bed 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.160 to just hold you like a like a soft cloud, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.600 although I guess there aren't hard clouds, so that didn't make 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.760 sense either way.

I'm a red blooded Colorado and 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.080 I've always sung the national anthems, said the Pledge of 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.040 allegiance proudly. But my outlook has been shifting more and more. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.640 What am I pledging elite now? Certainly not my government? 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.120 When I sing the national anthem, Land of the Free, 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.360 Home of the brave, now seems more like an empty phrase. 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:14.320 Please enlighten me on your thoughts about this topic. Okay, 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.119 talk about that. Should you sit out the national anthem 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.480 just because your government is demonic and evil? Let's talk next. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:29.200 The Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:34.679 kellyshow dot com.

Now? Certainly not the government? 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.960 When I sing the national anthem, Land of the Free, 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.520 Home of the brave, Now it seems like an empty phrase. 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.080 Please enlighten me on your thoughts on this topic. Okay, 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:11.880 here are my thoughts. I was present for an argument 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:16.679 once with a couple of my buddies. I was not 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:21.040 involved in this argument because they were two Catholics having 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.880 an argument. I am not Catholic, but they're Catholics having 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:28.600 an argument, and they are both hardcore anti communists, just 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:38.080 like you. And one of them had left the Catholic 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.600 church he was going to, and the other one had 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.520 left the Catholic church he was going to and didn't 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.199 think he was going to find another one. He was 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.080 done with Catholicism. Now, let's focus on him for a moment. 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.000 The guy who had left the Catholic church he was 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.480 going to and he was done with the Catholicism. He 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.919 cited a couple main reasons in this argum. These are 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.640 his reasons. It's his argument, it's not mine. I guess 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.280 the current pope, which I know enough about him to 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.080 know this. He's kind of a calmy piece of trash. 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.120 And he was really disillusioned with the pope. And then 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:19.360 his priest had swindled some cash and it really disillusioned 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:25.080 him badly to the Catholic church. And the guy who 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.760 was leaving but was not stopping becoming a Catholic was 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.160 arguing with him, and this was his defense. And this 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.199 really rang home to me. It really rang true to me. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.040 It hit home for me, and I think maybe it'll 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.160 help you. Why do I see the pledge of allegiance? 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.760 Why do I sing the national anthem when my government's 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:47.280 evil and demonic? What the guy who was going to 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.280 stay a Catholic said to his friend who was leaving, 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.840 was this, Okay, so your pope sucks and your priest 0:21:53.920 --> 0:22:01.120 is evil. So because two men were evil while they 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:06.600 practice the faith, that means the faith is bad or 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:13.520 the men were bad. I understand our government is occupied 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:19.280 by soulless, evil demons. I know, I know. I think 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.439 about our government now, and honestly, I know there are 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.480 a million pictures that I could picture. The picture that 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.120 I can't get out of my head is when our 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:31.439 thirteen warriors return home and caskets from Afghanistan. Joe Biden 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.359 was photographed several times checking his watch when he had 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.280 to meet with the parents. He was so bored, he 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:37.800 was so aggravated he had to be there. He just 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.159 kept checking his watch. When could we leave? That epitomizes 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:44.320 the United States government more than anything else I can 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.600 think of. You are not more disillusioned with the government 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:51.000 than I am. I know. Our government is evil. The 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:55.000 FBI is evil, Your DOJ is evil. The military is 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.960 quickly becoming evil. The leadership of the military, not the 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.919 people on the ground, the leadership. I know, I know, 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:07.119 But let's pause for a moment here. You're a United 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:11.359 States of America's citizen. You're citizen, unless, of course, you're 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.159 one of the twelve million who just got here in 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.760 the last three years. Anyway, you're a citizen of this country, 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.160 a country that has done so much good and more 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:25.840 than anything else, a country that has provided you in 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:30.639 your family with the opportunity to succeed. Now, maybe it worked, 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.280 maybe it didn't, Maybe you failed. Maybe you succeeded and 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.520 then failed, Maybe you failed and then I don't know, 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:44.160 but the opportunities were there. I will always be appreciative 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:49.160 of that. Whatever this government does with the country they 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:53.879 took hold of, I am appreciative of the country that 0:23:54.200 --> 0:24:01.480 gave me opportunities, and I'm appreciative of the people who 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.680 died for that flag. I know that sounds really really 0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:07.840 hokey in really right wing radio, but just hear me 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:13.040 out here that Look, we all know the scene of 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:16.640 the Marines raising the flag on top of Mount Sirabaci 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.280 in Ewojima, right. Even if you didn't know those were 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:21.760 the names, you can picture it in your mind. I 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.320 don't even have to say, hopefully you've seen it. Everyone 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.040 has seen it. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. It's 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:30.680 one of the most famous pictures slash videos in all 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.240 of American history. Even though there wasn't a whole lot 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:36.159 of video from before anyway, it was one of the 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:40.560 one of the great ones. When I hold my hand 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.359 over my heart for the pledge of allegiance, for the 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:49.720 national anthem, I think about the guys who died in 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:54.760 the black volcanic sand of that island. And then the 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:58.240 guys got to the top, and they weren't they weren't 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:05.120 following orders. They were so proud of their conquest, their sacrifice, 0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.480 the sacrifice of their friends, and when they got to 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:14.880 the top, their first instinct was, let's raise the American flag. 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:21.119 I stand for the national anthem for them, not for 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.280 these scumbags who are running the country now, not for 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:25.760 people like Jasmine Crawl. 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:27.919 The Republicans are yelling that states don't have the tools 0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.320 to help with migrants, but rather than work with Democrats, 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:34.800 Republicans are targeting communities of color and democratic cities like Chicago, 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:38.600 New York, and Philadelphia. And while they say that it's 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.840 about Democrat run cities, I do want to point out 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:45.000 another similarity that they have. These are cities that are 0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.480 run by African Americans. So while I know that they 0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.160 love to pretend as if there are no racial undertones, 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:56.080 it is just striking to me that we specifically are 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:58.680 going after African American run cities. 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.360 You know what strikes me is how many people are 0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:05.040 in Congress because they talk like that to their constituents. 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.800 How embarrassing is that to your part time radio host? 0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.760 Where did you go for the holidays? I did not 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.760 even notice. I was busy listening to the anti Communist 0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:17.760 Manifesto on audible. Before you go off on another worldwide vacation. 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.399 Can you answer one of the greatest questions of our time? 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:25.600
