1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse

2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. And

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: there's so much we have to cover politically from today,

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: so of course we're gonna stop and do none of

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: that right now and talk a little bit about history. Why. Look,

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: I feel like it. I'm about to go on vacation

7
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: and I'm already I'm already missing you. I'm already missing

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: doing the show, and so I'm trying to squeeze in

9
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: as much stuff that I love before I leave. So

10
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: you want to talk about you want to talk about

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: the Grand Saso Ray. There's the fart sound for you, Chris,

12
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the Grand Sasso Ray? What

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: is the Grand Saso Rad? What am I talking about? Okay?

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: So I promise we'll get to back to all the

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden stuff and bab blah blah blah blah. I'll

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: get to all the politics, get to some emails, boys

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: and women's sports, all that stuff. But let's talk about

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: one of the cooler rescue missions ever. You just haven't

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: heard of it because the people who did it are

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: evil and horrible. So let's do a little pre w

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: W two set up here. Did you know that Hitler

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: viewed Mussolini as pretty much a hero. He looked up

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: to him. See, Chris is surprised about that. Most people

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: are surprised about that. Why are we surprised? Because the

25
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Italians in World War Two? I was gonna call them

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: the little brother that's honestly, that doesn't even describe how

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: pathetic they were militarily compared to the Germans. So they're

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: both the Axis powers them and the Japanese obviously, But

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: we think about Italy, Wow, look at these little upstarts.

30
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: They tried to hang with big brother Germany, but this

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: little Italy couldn't get it done. And that's true once

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the combat started. But it was Mussolini, not Hitler, who

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: really was pioneering this fascist fascism takeover thing of Europe,

34
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: or of at least Italy. Hitler was a big fan,

35
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and in fact, Mussolini was flat out rude to him

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: early on, once Mussolini was rising to power, Hitler's very

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: much admiring him, trying to get a meeting, and Mussolini

38
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: was all, oh, gosh, here we go, who is this

39
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: idiot German? Did you know that people kind of have

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: those things mixed up, and that's actually gonna come into

41
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: play for our story here. Remember Hitler was a Mussolini

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: fan first, a fan like a celebrity. All right, now,

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: let's launch into the war a little bit. First of all,

44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: let's just deal with the Italian portion of it, the

45
00:02:53,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: history behind Italy. It's long, it's long. There is there's

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: no beginning of history. Many people have said that a

47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: lot more eloquently than I did, But there's no way

48
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I can possibly begin there, or I even have time

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: to do so tonight. Just know they were going through

50
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: it as much of Europe was at this time. Who

51
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: are we? What do we want to be? Do we

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: want to be this? Do we want to be that?

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Eventually Mussolini and his fascists they take over Italy? All right,

54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: so there's that. Mussolini sees himself as a conqueror, really

55
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: sold himself as a Roman conqueror. I am not Italian. Yes,

56
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: I take special pleasure in making fun of them, but

57
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: that's just because I actually adore them, and so many

58
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: of my friends are Italian people are They're different, and

59
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: they're awesome, and their food is really good, and they're

60
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: very proud. I don't know. I don't have a single

61
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Italian friend who isn't very proud of Italy's history, and

62
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: you would be too. We're proud of our history, aren't we.

63
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: And we do have a cool history. I'm not being

64
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: dismissive of it. But the Revolution, the World War two

65
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: and all these things. Imagine if the Roman friggin Empire

66
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: was part of your nation's history, you think you might

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: look back on that every now and they're okay, well,

68
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: that's how Mussolini saw himself. Here was a problem with

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: that for Mussolini, Mussolini Italy. They didn't have the money

70
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: to become a military juggernaut. And this is the part

71
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: of military matters we don't like to discuss very often,

72
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: because we'd like to discuss military matters in ways like bravery, courage,

73
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: he would never quit attitude, and don't be wrong, those

74
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: things are wonderful and they're very very important. You know

75
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: what's more important. Gigantic bombs you can drop on people

76
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: and level. That's important. Planes, battleships, aircraft carriers, bullets, medical supplies, food, armies,

77
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: large ones, especially advanced ones cost a four. It is

78
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: not just now, it has always been one of the

79
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: most expensive things building and maintaining an army, especially while

80
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: it's in combat. Chris asked how Germany did well understand

81
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: this about Europe. This is an important thing to understand now.

82
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: And then Italy's budget, their military budget back then. I

83
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: haven't done this in a while, so I'm gonna forget

84
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: the number, but it was six or seven hundred million

85
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: right around then? Was that was Italy's military budget. That

86
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: was ten percent of Germany's military budget. That's the difference

87
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: in the two nations. And the difference is, Chris, everybody

88
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: should understand. And I'm no expert on European economies and whatnot.

89
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: I just know a bit about a bit. Germany has

90
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: always been the economic juggernaut of Europe. They just have

91
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: a wealth of resources in that nation. They have always

92
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: been a financial juggernaut always. If you were if you

93
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: wanted to build a big economy and you could pick

94
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: any European country you wanted, it would be Germany and

95
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: second place would not even be close. It would not

96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: even be close. You would pick Germany's for not just

97
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: what it is, for its potential, because at its height,

98
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Germany can just turn out good services. They're just really good. Okay,

99
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: so Mussolini fancies himself a conqueror, except the Italian Navy

100
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: Army is poorly equipped, poorly trained, and they suck. Okay,

101
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the war kicks off. We're not going to go into everything,

102
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: but Germany eventually goes into Poland. You know all that.

103
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: Now we'll set Italy aside for a moment. Let's talk

104
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: about the German Loofwaffa. That's the German Air Force, the Loofwaffa.

105
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: It was headed by Usually don't give out names, but Gurring,

106
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: Hermann Gurring is a name you should know. He was

107
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: a World War One hero in Hitler used him to

108
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: help his own popularity to help his Nazis game power.

109
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Gurring was essentially a celebrity in Germany because of his

110
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: World War One hero status. Hitler used that to help

111
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: rise to power in Germany. Gerring was put in charge

112
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: of the Loofwaffa and the Loofwaffah. Yes, very accomplished, of course,

113
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: dive bomb and Poland. Very accomplished in France, but runs

114
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: into not just a failure and embarrassing failure in the

115
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: Battle of Britain. You know the story. Germany decides they're

116
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: going to invade Britain. They want to bomb Britain to dust.

117
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: They start sending all these planes over there to accomplish this,

118
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: and the Royal Air Force of the British Air Force

119
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: beats them, kicks the crap out of them, and on

120
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: paper really shouldn't have but had some real advantages radar

121
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and other things, but ends up beating them. Okay, So

122
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: the German Air Force has had some some things that

123
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: didn't go well, but they began to experiment with something.

124
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't just dust that was experimenting with this concept.

125
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: What if we drop troops from planes, lots of them?

126
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: What if we started using gliders? We have these planes,

127
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: we have these gliders. What if we start doing these things?

128
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Now back to Italy. Italy is part of their as

129
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: part of their Roman conquest. You know, Mussolini's this big emperor.

130
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna invade Greece. Shouldn't be a problem, right, I mean,

131
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: it's freaking Greece. It's not really a difficult nation to conquer, unless,

132
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: of course, you're the Italian Army. Mussolini tries to invade

133
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: Greece and promptly gets stalemated. To their credit, those Greeks

134
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: fought like lions. They didn't have near the equipment or

135
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: anything else, but they fought Italy to a standstill. They

136
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: really didn't. They should be very proud of what they did.

137
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: So as they always had two Germany steps in, Germany

138
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: steps in and starts really ramping up their aerial combat stuff,

139
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: dropping troops behind enemy lines, gliders, all these things. All right, now,

140
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: fast forward through all that because we need to get

141
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: to this, because we have a lot of politics we

142
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: have to get to. Eventually, the Allies invaded Italy. Now

143
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: why remember, conceptually we were having a hard time getting

144
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: into Europe. Hitler had taken it over the continent and

145
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: not obviously Britain, but the continental portion of it. He

146
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: had taken it over. And those stack on Germans. They're

147
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: known to be engineers for a reason, and they had

148
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: a great economy and they had accomplished a lot by

149
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: this point in time. So they had the manpower and

150
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: resources to fortify Europe. If you're an Allied army, armies

151
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: and all the things that come with it, food, equipment, men,

152
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: you need air bases, you need ports, you need ports

153
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: for your ships. How are you getting into Europe? Well,

154
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: Italy was falsely, very very very falsely in hindsight viewed

155
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: as as and I quote this is not my quote,

156
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: the soft underbelly of Europe. They of course knew that

157
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: France was fortified and Hitler was ready for them up there.

158
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: But they said to themselves, Hey, I'm sure Italy, with

159
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: their weak, pathetic army, why don't we just go into

160
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Italy and we'll take Europe from underneath. We'll take them

161
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: from the south. Except that didn't exactly work out totally

162
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: in that way. All right, I will try to wrap

163
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: up this history story. Then we'll get back to Hunter

164
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Biden in more history stuff. In a moment. Before I

165
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: do that, let's save a child tonight from human trafficking.

166
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: How does that sound? And I want to explain really

167
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: quickly how this works. Kids get on social media maybe

168
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: your kids are your kids on social media and anyway, discord, Twitter, Facebook, whatever.

169
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: Kids get on social media. They start conversing with people

170
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: and they don't know who they're really talking to. And

171
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: eventually these children will share a picture they shouldn't or

172
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: something like that, and don't do that thing. Parents do,

173
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: never my boy, never my girl. The kids get manipulated

174
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: into doing these things. The bad guys get a hold

175
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: of this and boom, they have blackmail material. Now they're

176
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: blackmailed for more. Now they're blackmailed to run away from home.

177
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: I'll tell your parents, Hey, do you want me to

178
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: call your pastor? I'll show him this picture soon. This

179
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: child is in hell. How do these kids escape? How

180
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: do they get out? The A Servo Project is how

181
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: they escape? How do these bad guys get busted and

182
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: sent to prison? The A Servo Project is how that

183
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: happens too. Support this wonderful organization and save these kids

184
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: all right A S S E R VO The A

Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com I swear on my life.

195
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: It's mostly a political show, and we'll get back to

196
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's comments from today. But I'm doing other stuff.

197
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: We're doing history. We're talking about the Grand Sasso Raid.

198
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: World War two. Anyway, we were told that Italy would

199
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: be the soft underbelly of Europe. And so the Allies

200
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: land on Sicily and that's a hard fight. And then

201
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: they land. They're landing on the Italian mainland. They're bombing Rome.

202
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: They start bombing Rome. Mussolini does not politically survive this.

203
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: Now Mussolini gets on the outs, so other Italians step in. Mussolini,

204
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: we don't like you anymore, mister d'aute. You are officially

205
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: under arrest. Now is when we get to the Grand

206
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Sasso Raid part of this, Okay, so they arrest Mussolini.

207
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: Also during this time, they sign an armistice. What is

208
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: the armistice? It's Italy surrendering to the Allies. They essentially

209
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: arrest Mussolini and put him off to the side. And

210
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: then Italy comes to us and they say, hey, are bad,

211
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: sorry about this whole World War two thing. This didn't

212
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: work out. We would love to join you guys. Now

213
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: we needed Italy. We needed Italy for many different reasons,

214
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: but we really needed it, as I just described, because

215
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: it was an access point into Germany, but into Europe itself.

216
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: We needed Italy, so we were all too happy to

217
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: sign this armistice. Let's go, but then we ran into

218
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: a problem. The problem was the Germans were on to

219
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: this whole thing, and the Germans started moving in and

220
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: fortifying Italy as much as they could already, and the

221
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: Germans they decided they needed Mussolini back remember back to

222
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the beginning of this little history segment. This was a

223
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: because Hitler wanted Mussolini a friendly face in charge of Italy.

224
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: But b Hitler was a Mussolini fan, not vice versa.

225
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: Hitler is a Mussolini fan, and the man he looks

226
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: up to just got arrested. Now, this is the real

227
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: cloak and dagger portion of it. The Italians who have him,

228
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: they are aware the Germans want him, and what they

229
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: start doing is they start moving Mussolini to various different

230
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: places around Italy, which brings us to a man named

231
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: Otto Skorzeny. You know, I don't give out a lot

232
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: of names and dates and details, but this is a

233
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: human being I would recommend you look him up, unless

234
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: you're driving. Look up Otto Skorzeny right now. He was

235
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: known as quote the most dangerous man in Europe. What

236
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: a cool freaking name. He has this huge scar across

237
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: his face. Oh you've seen him. I'm sure you've seen him, Chris.

238
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: He ended up working for Masad, so you'll love that.

239
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: But he ended up what Chris was he a Nazi?

240
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: You know what? Chris will go over the end details

241
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: in that ju just a minute. But I tell you what.

242
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: I'll get to the Masad portion of that in a minute. Anyway,

243
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Otto Skorzeny, he's in the German Army at this point

244
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: in time, looks like a Bond movie villain, smokes like

245
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: a Chimney scar on his face. And Otto Skorzeny he

246
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: gets called into a meeting with Hitler. They're all putting

247
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: their heads together, Hitler, all the generals, everyone else, and they're, hey,

248
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: how do we get Mussolini? What do we do? What

249
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: do we do? What do we do? Skorzeny says, here's

250
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We'll just find him and send

251
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: in these commandos and rescue him. It's his sounding plan.

252
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: Will fly in with these commandos, and the plan is

253
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: basically universally rejected by the German military command in. Skorzeny's

254
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: not a general at all. He's not even a major

255
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: at this point in time, so it's not like he

256
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: has ability to step up and say, hey, general, whatever,

257
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: General German sausage. No. Instead, Hitler steps in as the

258
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: only guy who likes the plan. Hitler was big on

259
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: bold and daring. What serves you well when you're invading France,

260
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: not so much when you're invading the Soviet Union, but

261
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: that's another matter. Hitler loved the sound of it and said, yeah, Otto,

262
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: go get him. Now. The spy campaign begins. Otto Skorzeny.

263
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: He begins the process of even finding Mussolini. During this time,

264
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: he's already selecting his troops. They're the most highly trained

265
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: troops he has, combat veteran troops he has, and he

266
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: has to find where they're putting Mussolini. So they start

267
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: doing certain things. One of the things they do this,

268
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: this is how it works. They find a guy who

269
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: has a vegetable cart. He's just an Italian dude with

270
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: a vegetable cart, and they bring him in and he

271
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: turns into an informant and basically informs them, Hey, Mussolini,

272
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: I found him, and they find out Mussolini's there. Boom,

273
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: they got him right. Nope, the Italians catch on. They

274
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: move him again. Crap, they're back to square one. What

275
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: do we do now? They send the German Loofwaffa over

276
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: various places where they know or where they think Mussolini

277
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: might be being held, trying to look and see as

278
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: their updated defenses there are there more troops there. At

279
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: one point in time, the loof waff of German recmplaints

280
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: got shot down over where they were keeping Mussolini. And

281
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: that's how they knew that's where he was. Well, very

282
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: clearly they're protecting something down there. Anyway, long story short,

283
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: they end up locating Mussolini. They located him in what

284
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: amounts to a ski resort in the Alpine mountains. It's

285
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: Italian mountains, very tall, very snowy, very remote. And this

286
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: is I just want you to think of it like

287
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: a ski resort. There's one way in and out of

288
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: this ski resort. I know, this story's cool. A cable car.

289
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: You're not driving up to it. You can take a

290
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: cable car in and out that's the only way you

291
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: get into the resort. But if you're the German military,

292
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: you're the German intelligence, how do you even make sure

293
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Mussolini's really there. We'll finish this story up in just

294
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: a moment. Before we do that, let's do this. Let's

295
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: talk about a wonderful organization, Tunnel to Towers. You hear

296
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: me tell you about Tunnel to Towers all year long.

297
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, when that cop gets ambushed in the line

298
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: of duty and mom, Dad, they get a phone call, Hey,

299
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: they're never coming home again. You and the kids, you're

300
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: on your own. That's got to be the most horrible

301
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: feeling in the world. And it's not as if Tunnel

302
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: to Towers can make that pain go away. But they help.

303
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: They help by easing the financial burden and paying off

304
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: the mortgages on these homes, so at least that widow

305
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: isn't drowning in bills as she tries to figure out

306
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: how to even move on with life. That's Tunnel to Towers,

307

309
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,200

Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show

315
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. We're gonna get back to the Hunter

316
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Biden stuff. Really this segment, I swear we're just finishing

317
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: up this little history segment we were doing because well

318
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: I felt like it. I don't have a better reason

319
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: at all anyway. So Hitler decides he's going to bust

320
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Mussolini out. They have to find him first. Mussolini his

321
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: final stop was a ski hotel. Just think of it

322
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: like a ski hotel. You can look it up to

323
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: this day if you would like. I believe it's still there,

324
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: in disrepair, but you can see. Remember always helps to

325
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: look at a map, and it helps to look at

326
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: pictures of things. You can see this place. It is

327
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of the mountains. There's no way to

328
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: get to it. The Italians not only take Mussolini there,

329
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: they surround him by two hundred troops. Now this is

330
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the part. This is the part I need to explain

331
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: something before I can finish up the story. Remember how

332
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I said the Allies invaded and the Italians kicked out Mussolini,

333
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: and the Italians signed an agreement with the Allies. That's

334
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: a very simplistic way to put it. This is what

335
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: I mean. The Italians in German had been working hand

336
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: in hand together. They were friends, they were allies for

337
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: a while. Now at the drop of a hat, this

338
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: faction threw out this faction and then sign an agreement

339
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: with other people. It's not as if every Italian and

340
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: every German magically saw each other as the enemy overnight.

341
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: Does that make sense. It's just it's not that way.

342
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: It's not how it works at all. There were a

343
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: bunch of close relationships. There were still factions that were

344
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: friendly here and friendly there. So anyway, the Germans need

345
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: to know that Mussolini's there. You're going to try to

346
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: pull off a raid on a mountaintop fortress which they

347
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: were fortifying this place, you better find out he's there.

348
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: So what do they do. They sent a doctor up there.

349
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: The doctor goes up there, and he goes up there,

350
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: knocks on the door and says, hey, I'd really love

351
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: to use this place as a malaria Malaria is kicking

352
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: up pretty bad around here. I'd like to dig in

353
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: and see if this would be an appropriate field hospital

354
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: for a malaria clinic. And they tell him, oh, sure, sure,

355
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: sounds good, sounds good, come right in. Oh but you

356
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: can't go there. You're not allowed there, you're not allowed

357
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: on that floor. And the doctor's looking around. He's seeing

358
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: way too many guards for some random hilltop hotel, and

359
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: there are many places he's not allowed to venture. That's

360
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: all the confirmation the Germans needed to know. This is

361
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: where the big cheese was. They were very clearly protecting something.

362
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Now it's on Otto. Skorzeny and his commandos decide they're

363
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: going to launch. But how in the world do you

364
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: get up to a hotel where you can only get

365
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: to and fro by cable car. They took gliders in

366
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: through the mountains. You load all your men in equipment

367
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: on a glider, You take off a plane, a real

368
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: plane with an engine on it takes off, towing the

369
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: glider behind it, and then at some point in time

370
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: you cut it loose. And I know you're gonna find

371
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: this shocking. But the glider glides. It glides all the

372
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: way into where you're going, and Lord willing, you have

373
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: identified a place and the winds don't get you. This

374
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: is very, very dangerous, I need to point out, especially

375
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: in the mountains where winds are blowing up, they're sucking

376
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: you down, they're blowing you over. It's very very brutal,

377
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: but you start gliding through the mountains. People ask me

378
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: all the time if I could have a video of

379
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: something throughout history, and there are a million things I

380
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: would choose from I'm telling you right now. One of

381
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: my videos on my short list, I would like to

382
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: see the formation of German gliders flying through the Italian Alps,

383
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: getting ready to land on some Italian plateau, which I

384
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: don't even know if i'd call it that at a hotel,

385
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: but either way, they do boom boom, boom, they crash in.

386
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: They land, most successful, some not so much. But that's okay,

387
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: that's not important to the story. The commandos go screaming out,

388
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: guns are pointed at everybody, and at this point in time,

389
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: Auto in an Italian he brought with him. Remember how

390
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: I told you it was kind of convoluted. Who was

391
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: an enemy, who was a friend, Who are we with?

392
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: Who are we not? They bluff the heavily fortified Italian

393
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: fortress into just flat out surrendering in the two hundred troops.

394
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: The Italian troops surrender. Not only do they surrender without

395
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: a shot fired, they bring Mussolini out and you can

396
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: look at these to this day. You don't have to

397
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: take my word for it. They begin posing for pictures.

398
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: The Italian troops, who just surrendered the fortress without a

399
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: shot fired, start taking pictures with Otto Skorzeni and El Duce,

400
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: Mussolini and themselves. They're up there having a big photo off. Well,

401
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Chris is looking. I don't know, there's a big photo

402
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: outside of the hotel. Oh hey, get a selfie with me.

403
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: You didn't think that was just the modern thing today, right?

404
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: They end up flying out of there, and in case

405
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: you're wondering how they had a tiny, tiny little plane

406
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: that could only carry really two guys, but they piled

407
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: three guys on it. It was Scorseeny Mussolini and the pilot.

408
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: And from what I understand, I had a hard time

409
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: finding details on this. I believe Skorzeny had to aim

410
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: a gun at the pilot to get him to take off.

411
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: The pilot said, we can't do this, We're gonna die.

412
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: I know he threatened him. Look it's Otto Skorzeny. I

413
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: think we all know what that threat was. It may

414
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: have been a knife. He threatened it with something, but

415
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: he said take off now, and they end up flying

416
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Mussolini clear back to Vienna, where they both met Hitler.

417
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: Otto Skorzeny got promoted to major. Mussolini went on to

418
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: be killed and was strung up by his ankles. But

419
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: that's a story for another day. Every one of Otto

420
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: Skorzeny's men was given a month off, a month of

421
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: leave as a reward for their brave service. And that

422
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: is the Grand Sasso raid, gr an grand Sasso raid.

423
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: That is the story of it, as far as Chris's

424
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: question goes, because I ended up, I told you, Otto

425
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: skorz eighty ended up working for Masad. There are a

426
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: million and one theories on this. I don't really like

427
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: the term conspiracy theory anymore because most conspiracy theories anymore

428
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: turn out to be true. There are a bunch of

429
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: theories on this, But this is what I think I know. Skorzainy.

430
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: He ended up getting off Scott free. After the war,

431
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: they thought about prosecuting him for war crimes for the

432
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: Battle of the Bulge because he had German troops dressed

433
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: up like American troops. That was considered a war crime.

434
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: He ends up getting off scott free from that though,

435
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: goes into hiding. You know how, Israel they were a

436
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: little bit upset with the whole Holocaust thing. They let

437
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: that get to him a bit understandably so and Israel decided,

438
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: let's go kill everyone responsible, and Massady It's a famous story.

439
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: They went around hunting various people responsible, Nazis, responsible for

440
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: war crimes, so on and so forth. They end up

441
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: coming across Otto Skorzeny. Now we're into the real theory

442
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: portion of it, but there are all kinds of things,

443
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: including Masad operatives I've seen interviewed who say that what

444
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm about to say is a fact. Skorzeny was essentially

445
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: given a choice. Hey, Mosad can either make sure you

446
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: don't wake up tomorrow morning, or you can do some

447
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: of the great things you do for Masad. Now, what

448
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: if Masad want from Otto Skorzeny. There were all kinds

449
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: of Germans living and hiding in various parts of the world,

450
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: and Massad needed somebody with his expertise and his knowledge

451
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: of these people to help him track him those people down.

452
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: And there is every indication, including, like I said, witness testimony,

453
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: that that is exactly what Skorzeny did. In case you're wondering,

454
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: he did eventually die of lung cancer, which is understandable.

455
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: I've seen video and pictures of the man. I've never

456
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: seen one where he didn't have a cigarette in his mouth.

457
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: This dude loves cigarettes the way you love pizza, the

458
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: way Chris loves white sauce pizza, as we found out

459
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the Shell. All right, now, that is a

460
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: little history that ended up going long. I would apologize,

461
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: but that would be a lie because I'm not sorry

462
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: at all. I'm not even a little bit sorry. Now

463
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: let's get back to this Hunter Biden stuff. This is

464
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: an interesting press conference, and then we're getting to how

465
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: the system works and why Iowa won't remove a Satanic

466
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: display in the capitol and all kinds of other things.

467
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: Before we get to that stuff, a lot of corporations

468
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: are in the news now. Bud Lights back in the news,

469
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: bud Light doing what they can to buy their way

470
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: back into your good graces? Are you glad that you

471
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: never have you never, ever, ever, ever ever have to

472
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: lay your head down on your MyPillow and wake up

473
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: the next day worrying that Mike Lindell sold you out

474
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: to the commis. Isn't that comforting to know you support

475
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: a company that doesn't do Pride month, they don't do

476
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter? Isn't that wonderful? When I tell you

477
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: to go get my Pillow products, it's not just because

478
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: they're incredible. It's because putting your money where your morals

479
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: are is more than just not spending here. It's spending

480
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: in places that share our values and support our values.

481
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,320

Speaker 1: in now, Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. All right,

493
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, we're gonna get back to his comments, but

494
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: formal impeachment inquiry for let's just get everyone updated because

495
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people were just now tuning in. We

496
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: just did a bunch of history and whatnot, so let's

497
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: keep everyone updated. The House of Representatives today they formally

498
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: passed an impeachment inquiry into Hunter Biden. This is not

499
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: an impeachment. They're not impeaching Joe Biden yet. This is

500
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: an impeachment inquiry. As part of all this, they're gonna

501
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: bring Hunter Biden in because Hunter Biden worked for Joe

502
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: Biden's business. Again, Joe Biden's business. Joe wasn't involved in

503
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Hunter's business. Hunter was involved in Joe's business. Joe Biden's business. Anyway, Now,

504
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: where do we go from here? What this does is

505
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: it gives the House of Representatives more power to drag,

506
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: to compel. That's a great legal word, Chris, I'm gonna

507
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: use that word. What Chris that's a smart sounding word.

508
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: It makes you sound smart. Anyway, they're gonna compel more

509
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: people to come in. They're gonna compel people to come in.

510
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 1: You have to go in. Otherwise you're held in contempt

511
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: to Congress. You can go to jail that kind of thing.

512
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: This is a good thing. Is this gonna end up

513
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: with the removal of Joe Biden? Of course not. Is

514
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: this even gonna end up with an impeachment of Joe Biden?

515
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: No way. You think they're gonna get a one seat

516
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: GOP majority to sign on for a Joe Biden impeachment.

517
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: Not a snowballs chance in HG double hockey sticks, no

518
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: chance at all. That doesn't mean it's a waste of time, though.

519
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: Muddying up your political opponent, especially in an election year,

520
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: has value. The Democrats did it to Trump. Why do

521
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think Maga and Trump? What

522
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: do you think for a big percentage of Americans that

523
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: has such a negative connotation to it, so negative? Donald

524
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: Trump's approval ratings are where Joe Biden's are. They're awful,

525
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: same as they're both awful. Why because they've labeled him,

526
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: they've muddied him, They partially did that through impeachment. They

527
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: impeached him twice over nothing, right, but it didn't matter

528
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: that it was over nothing. You don't get dragged through

529
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: an impeachment proceeding and come out on the other side

530
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: looking better. It's not possible. They're going to drag through

531
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: witnesses and everything else, and the public is going to

532
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: be treated to your misdeeds, crimes, comments, lies, doesn't matter,

533
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: and at the end of it, you're going to be

534
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: muddier than you were going in what they've done to Maga.

535
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: The Maga, the Republicans have a chance, at least in

536
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: a small way, to do to Democrats, to do to

537
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The impeachment inquiry will help. It's not going

538
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: to end in an impeachment. Don't get your hopes up.

539
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: And even if it somehow does end in an impeachment,

540
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: he's not going to get convicted. In the sentence, it's

541
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: set that stuff aside. There's value in muddying your opponent.

542
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to the language they use. Here's hunter.

543
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: No matter how many times it is debunked, they continue

544
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: to insist that my father's support of Ukraine.

545
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: Again. Stop, sorry, we're going to start it over, but debunked, debunked, debunked.

546
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: This is another language item the communist uses very very well,

547
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: and it's one thing that we need to also use.

548
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Remember how uh remember last night? You do listen to

549
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: last night show? I hope you did. If you didn't,

550
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: the whole podcast is available on iHeart, Google, Spotify, and iTunes.

551
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: No quit Anyway, if you listen to last night's show,

552
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: you remember we were talking about kind of how the

553
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: system worked, and we were specifically talking about Harvard. How

554
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: Harvard they're not stressing about losing undergraduate tuition because they

555
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: have more in federal money then they take in an

556
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: undergraduate tuition. The federal government pays Harvard, what does that

557
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: give them the freedom to do? Then they can cite

558
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: Harvard studies they paid for to prove the very political

559
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: things they want to do. Hey, we're the federal government.

560
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Hey we want to stop your gas powered vehicle because

561
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: it's damaging the earth. It's a national security threat. Oh

562
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: you would like verification. Well, here I've got a study

563
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: from Harvard that proves it. See that's what they do.

564
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: They buy legitimacy, that's what they do. This is what

565
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: the communists have done time and time again with everything

566
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: that gets them in trouble. And that's why they use

567
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: the word debunked. Now it's second nature to them, and

568
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: this is more language you yourself should adopt. Do it

569
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: with Liberal and Peggy, do it when you haven't even

570
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: researched it. Oh did you hear that? Uh that this guy,

571
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: this Republican? Did you hear that Mike Johnson picks his nose. Oh,

572
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: that's already been debunked. Just throw it out there. What No,

573
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: it hasn't been debunked. It'll go crazy. Debunked is a

574
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: word they use a lot. Granted they have the freedom

575
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: to use that word more than we do because they've

576
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: bought all the agencies that have legitimacy like Harvard, but debunked.

577
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Great word.

578
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: They use it a lot, no matter how many times

579
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: it is debunked. They continue to insist that my father's

580
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: support of Ukraine against Russia is the result of a

581
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: non existent bribe.

582
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting. He brought that up. That is interesting,

583
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: he brought up that up. My father's support of Ukraine

584
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: is aut of a bribe. Let's do rewind. I know

585
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: you know this hunter Biden was paid eighty three thousand

586
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: dollars a month to sit on the board of an

587
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: energy company in Ukraine without any energy experience whatsoever. And

588
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: he sat on that board while his father was the

589
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: sitting vice president in charge of Ukrainian affairs. Oh, by

590
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: the way, sure this is totally unrelated. This was Joe

591
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: Biden from today. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hush up.

592
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: A second, okay, okay, one more thing to say. I've

593
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: just signed another two hundred million dollar drawdown to the

594
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 2: Department of Defense for Ukraine and that'll be coming quickly.

595
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: Quick side note before we get back to the Hunter stuff.

596
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying, how could he do that? I thought

597
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Congress had to pass that. How could he do that? Well,

598
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: you notice what he called He didn't call it an

599
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: aid bill, did he Because there was no bill. He

600
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: called it a draw down. Why is it a draw

601
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: down because he's taking our stuff that we need and

602
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: he's sending two hundred million dollars of it to Ukraine,

603
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: emptying the American military coffers. No, I'm sure he's just

604
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: doing that out of the goodness of his heart, not

605
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: because those Ukrainians have mountains of dirt on the American President.

606
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,800
