9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: different things here on the show. I'm not doing any

10
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: more of that right now at all. I quit. I

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: quit all the politics and culture stuff. You know why.

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: This is my show and I get to do whatever

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I want. And because today is December seventh, Today is

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. And I thought to myself,

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, what, what would you enjoy today? What would

16
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: you enjoy today that you're probably not going to get

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: many other places, if any Well, I thought maybe we

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: should do a bit more background on Pearl Harbor, because

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: it's much much, much more complicated than people would have

20
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: you believe, and there were reasons behind all of it.

21
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: And so I'm not doing any more politics now for

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: a little while, and so I talked some Pearl Harbor.

23
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: For instance. We're gonna go a little bit more in

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: depth here. For instance, you have heard, I'm sure a

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: bunch today the famous FDR statement of December star, nineteen

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: forty wall on a day, what Chris. That's a good impression.

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: A day it is, Chris, a day that will live

28
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: in infamy. That basically sounds identical to FDR. But did

29
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: you know the whole speech was about four minutes long.

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Did you know I'm gonna play large chunks of it

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: for you, if not all of it? Oh, I don't

32
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: know right about now, Vice President, mister Speaker, Members of

33
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: the Senate, of the House of Representatives, yesterday decemb Us seventh,

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: nineteen forty one, a date which will live in infamy

35
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: the United States. I'm gonna pause there. Don't worry. I'm

36
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: gonna play a bunch more of it. Don't worry. We're

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna pause there. Because he does a big

38
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: build up and you can really hear the indignation in

39
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: his voice. Let's rewind. Let's rewind. How did we get

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: to a place where Japan would send an entire naval

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: fleet across the Pacific Ocean in secret to launch a

42
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: Sunday morning attack on Pearl Harbor when we weren't even

43
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: at war with Japan. How did we get there? Well,

44
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: let's ask history now Japan, because this is really more

45
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: of a Japanese story than an American story. Japan. Japan

46
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: was for so long. A lot of this is because

47
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: it's an island nation, but Japan was for so long,

48
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: for hundreds and hundreds of years, it was a very factional,

49
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: very isolated country. And this is what I mean. They

50
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: would have a showgun who was considered the military leader

51
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: of Japan, and then there was an emperor who was

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: supposedly above the show gun, but kind of wasn't really

53
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: above the show gun he was supposed to be. But

54
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: even still, I want you to think about Japan as

55
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: a place that was divided up into into various states,

56
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: or just call them states. It makes it easy for

57
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: people understand. And there was in charge of a state

58
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: something called a dio. I'm probably saying that wrong, but

59
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not Japanese. It's called a dio

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: and consider him the king of his state. And he

61
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: had warriors samurai you well know these He had all

62
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: kinds of warriors. Now we don't have to go into

63
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: all the history of all this stuff, but you should

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: know that the Japanese, you see, all lands are conquered lands.

65
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm getting way too deep in the weeds here already,

66
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: but I don't care people think about American Indians, you know,

67
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: or Aborigines and those poor indigenous people. Did you know

68
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: that they were indigenous people in Japan? Two? Did you

69
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: know that that samurai armor you see, you can picture

70
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: it in your head right now, the samurai arm or

71
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: the shoulder flaps that works. Did you know that's not

72
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: what the original Japanese armies look like. The original Japanese

73
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: armies looked very traditional for the times, long spears, things

74
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: like that, And then they found themselves in a horrific

75
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: battle with the indigenous people. If we're even going to

76
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: call it indigenous, I hate even using that word. With

77
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: the tribal people who were already there, and they found

78
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: that they were having a hard time killing these people

79
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: because they had better armor, they had different ways of fighting,

80
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: and they adopted those ways and that became part of

81
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: traditional Japanese culture. Anyway, So we're fast forwarding through all

82
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: this Japan basically gets to the point where they cut

83
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: off the outside world. They just say, hey, we're not

84
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: trading with anyone. Your religion isn't welcome here. A people

85
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: who aren't Japanese aren't welcome here. We're just gonna keep

86
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: doing us until one day, one day an American. It's

87
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: funny how much we had a play in this. An American.

88
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: This is in the eighteen hundreds. An American comes into

89
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Japan and he's a navy man with a modern navy

90
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: ship and he pops into Japan and he's looking around

91
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: and he sees they have muskets. Most of them don't

92
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: even have guns at all. Most of them still have swords.

93
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: They're still wearing flip flops. It basically he feels like

94
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: he's been taken back in time and he starts telling Japan, hey,

95
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: we want you to trade with us, and Japan says, no,

96
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And he said, ah, maybe he didn't,

97
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: maybe didn't see the warship out there, mister guy who's

98
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: still wearing a sword around. We're gonna trade with you.

99
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Japan starts to wake up to the fact that they

100
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: can't survive unless they modernize, but they have a problem

101
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: or a good thing, depending on how you want to

102
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: look at it. Look, everything can be good and bad. Right,

103
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: they have a problem Japan to this day. But Japan's very,

104
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: very proud of their heritage, very proud of the people

105
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: there are. They don't look at their country like so

106
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: many Americans do and hate it. They're proud of it.

107
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. You want to be proud. You

108
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: want to raise a nation of people proud of their country.

109
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Japan didn't necessarily want to change and it's wanted to modernize,

110
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: so they went through something called the Meiji Restoration. The

111
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Meiji Restoration, what this was was this this was a

112
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: highly ambitious, highly intelligent plan to move Japan into modern

113
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: times while at the same time keeping you know, with

114
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: who they are. They wanted to stay who they were,

115
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: but modernize. And they did this because they knew they

116
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: were about to be trampled and colonized by modern nations

117
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: if they didn't do it. It's very it's unlike, it's

118
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: unlike many things I can find in history for a

119
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: nation to just change direction like this, what did they do? Boom?

120
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Immediately they disperse advisors all over the world to figure

121
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: out how modern countries do what they do? How do

122
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: you what do you mean to have a modern economy? Okay, well,

123
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: let's go to some modern economies and let's work with

124
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: their governments there and figure out what does that mean.

125
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I'll take that information. I'll bring it back to Japan.

126
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Oh what do you mean a modern military? Okay, they

127
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: actually went to Germany. Japan goes to Germany. Germany has

128
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: a checkered but really good military history. They're very militaristic people,

129
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: as we've seen it a couple of times. So they

130
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: go to Germany and they say, hey, well how do

131
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: you do what you do? And the Germans would work

132
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: with them, and then, of course how that works is

133
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: soon the nations are working together. Let us buy rifles

134
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: from you, Hey, send your advisors to us, train our

135
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: troops out. So a nation, this is so hard. A

136
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: nation turns on a dime and they become modern, and

137
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: they become modern quickly, really really quickly. Now they're hanging

138
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: on to the old you know, bishido code samurai stuff,

139
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: which yeah, it is. It is sweet, Chris, it is

140
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: really cool. So don't hey, you'll still see guys with

141
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: swords on, but they're doing it with swords on one

142
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: hip and a machine gun slung over their shoulder. And

143
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: it's really cool. Right now, we're at the really really

144
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: cool face. Wow, it's so impressive this nation turns around.

145
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: But there's generally a negative. When there's a positive, everything's

146
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: a given. Take no, have you ever had a friend?

147
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: I know fellas every guy listened to the sound of

148
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: my voice Wolf, how had a friend like this? Ladies,

149
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: you probably knew a guy like this. Do you ever

150
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: have a friend of yours who love to fight? He's

151
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: always wanted to fistfight somebody, and man, there are some

152
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: real positives that come with that. You're out at you're

153
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: out on a Friday night, some dime across the bar

154
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: catches your eye and you think, man, i'd like her

155
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: phone number. I think I'll take her to Red Lobster tomorrow.

156
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: And you go hit on her and it turns out

157
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: she has a boyfriend you didn't see. Comes out of

158
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: the bathroom and he's got a couple of boys with him,

159
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna have to fight. Man, it's

160
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: sure nice in those times to have your buddy who

161
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: loves to fight right by you. Let's do it. R

162
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: roll and now you got someone done hands on your behalf.

163
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: It's great, isn't It's great. It's not as fun when

164
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: you're just enjoying a night and he thinks someone offended him,

165
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: and soon you're getting thrown out by the bouncers because

166
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: he decided to fight everybody in the place. There's a

167
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: good and a bad to being a society that values

168
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: very much it's warrior code. And we're about to discuss

169
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: how that hurt Japan and how that led directly to

170
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor on the Jesse Kelly Show. Before we get

171
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: to that, let me just say this. I love temper

172
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: a shrimp. Chris. Have you ever had temper a shrimp

173
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: at one of those Japanese Oh, it's my bad, Chris.

174
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I forgot you're not allowed. Well, everyone who isn't Chris,

175
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend some temper a shrimp. And if

176
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna make temper a shrimp, it's actually pretty easy

177
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: to do at the house. I know because it looked

178
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: easy watching the wife do it. But use Biloxi shrimp

179
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: while you do it. Don't buy communist shrimp. Ninety five

180
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: percent of the shrimp you buy that's shrimp in your

181
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: grocery store. It came from overseas. It came from Vietnam

182
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: and countries like that, Tommy countries. Biloxi Shrimp comes right

183
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,320

00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Kelly returns. Next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on

191
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. We're doing a little history rewind as it's

192
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: December seventh. It's December seventh, that's the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

193
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: So we're kind of getting boned up on a little

194
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: history before Pearl Harbor. If you missed my talk previously,

195
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: if you miss a segment before, we're just going kind

196
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: of through the history of Japan and how they were

197
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: kind of backwards and isolated and then they had to

198
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: modernize and things like that. So now we're at the

199
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: point where Japan has Oh by the way, I just

200
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop real quick here and play this. We're

201
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: definitely going into recession. This is Jim Kramer. Everyone's decided

202
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a recession. I don't see the

203
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: recession coming. That means a recessions virtually guaranteed. If Jim

204
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Kramer says we're not going to have one, it's a guarantee.

205
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Now now we know it's gonna be severe. So anyway,

206
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the politics and stuff and Elon

207
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Musk and everything else in a minute. But I'm doing history.

208
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't care. So now Japan has modernized itself. Who

209
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: got this modern military? And you still have this mindset

210
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: where the warrior is admired most And that's you know,

211
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: it can be very good. It's nice, well you're real tough.

212
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: But the problem is when you have a very tough

213
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: military and you have a warrior mindset, you want to

214
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: use it. You want to use it. Why do you

215
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: think so many of these guys, these special forces types,

216
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Navy sealed types, Delta force types, why do you think

217
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: they get out of the military and they go become

218
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: private military contractors or they work security somewhere, some security

219
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: consultant or why do you think so many of those

220
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: guys do that? Because that's what they do well. When

221
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: you have those skills, you want to use them. Japan

222
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: starts to branch out a little bit, and Japan starts

223
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: to slap around Russia. They beat Russia in the early

224
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds. That was unheard of. No no army of

225
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Asians can beat up a wide army. That's there was

226
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: a thinking back then because everyone was real racial. The

227
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: Japanese were too. By the way, I'm not blaming anyone else.

228
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: Japanese thought they were racially superior to everyone too. It

229
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: was just kind of that era. But Japan's beating Russia,

230
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: Japan's beating China, and Japan's discovering something. This military we have,

231
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty useful, and our military mindset also pretty useful.

232
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: And if we keep taking over things, we kind of

233
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: get all of their resources and we don't have many resources.

234
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: This whole conquest thing is kind of fun. I think

235
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll stick with it. And Japan eventually finds itself in China.

236
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: I say finds itself Nay invaded China. Japan invades China

237
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Manchuria to be specific, and Japan starts gobbling up Chinese territory. Now,

238
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Japan's still a tiny nation compared to China, but China

239
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: is really on the down and outs right now. They

240
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: don't have an emperor anymore, or the naturalists are fighting

241
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the communists in China, so it's a divided country. And

242
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: Japan steps in and starts taking over Chinese territory and

243
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: gobbling up Chinese resources, which brings us to right before

244
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. Japan has a problem, and it is a problem.

245
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how I would have solved it. I

246
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: don't know what the solution is, but this was Japan's problem.

247
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: You've been fighting a war in China for a long time,

248
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: killing a lot of Chinese people, and telling all your

249
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: countrymen back home that this is for Japan and this

250
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: is for the betterment of Japan. And these Japanese soldiers

251
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: who died they died for the cause and this is

252
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: really important. But you don't have enough people if you're

253
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Japan to take over China, there's several times larger than

254
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: you are. You also don't necessarily have the luxury of

255
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: just pulling out and going home, because then you lose

256
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: all the resources you just gained that now your country needs.

257
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: And how do you tell the families of all those

258
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: dead Japanese troops that it was all for nothing. Okay,

259
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: well that's already bad. And here's another bad part. You

260
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: have countries like Great Britain in America telling you get

261
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: out of China. Now, maybe you're saying to either yourself,

262
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: why wouldn't the Japanese just say up yours, I'll do

263
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: whatever I want. Well, it's because Japan is not a

264
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: resource rich nation. Japan was getting gigantic quantities of the

265
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: things it needed, things like steel and oil from us.

266
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: We're selling you all the stuff you need to survive.

267
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: If we say get out, you have to consider that

268
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: Japan didn't feel like it was in a place where

269
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: it could get out, where it could stop. So, I mean,

270
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: what's more dangerous than a door half open? That old saying,

271
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Chris is not an old sayingered I just make that up.

272
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: I just made up that saying. I think, what's more

273
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: dangerous than a door half open? I mean, it's true,

274
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: a half open door is the most dangerous thing in

275
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the world. Either close it all the way or open

276
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: it all the way. Don't leave it halfway open so

277
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: someone can walk into the hard part of it and

278
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: break their nose. Japan decides it has a choice. It

279
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: can either pull out of China and abandon everything, or

280
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: it can instead go all in. They chose option B.

281
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: But that doesn't that doesn't explain how it brought them

282
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: to the shores of Pearl Harbor. I will explain that

283
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: next and in a long extended history portion of the

284
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. I do this from time to time

285
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: because I enjoy it. We'll get back to politics whenever

286
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I feel like it. I'm having fun before we get

287
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: to that. Who do you get your cell phone service from?

288
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Easy question? I mean you're mad about last night's election? Maybe?

289
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, we lost the Senate. There was an election today,

290
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: did you know that? And there's one tomorrow and the

291
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: next day and the next day of the next day.

292
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: Every single day in the United States of America is

293
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: now election day. Now that corporate America has decided to

294
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: get involved in politics. Every single day is election day.

295
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: So let me ask you something, who did you vote

296
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: for today? Every day you have a charge by your

297
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: cell phone company. You pay it probably once a month,

298
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: but every day, there's a charge. Who'd you vote for today?

299
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Did you vote for AT and T Verizon T Mobile?

300
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Really you vote a Democrat? Today? You could switch to

301
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Pure Talk and you could vote for your values every day.

302
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of Pearl Harbor, their CEO, as a veteran, they

303
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: love this nation so much, their customer service all Americans.

304
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: When you talk to someone at pure Talk, it's so

305
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: refreshing and so odd. You speak to someone who speaks

Speaker 1: it so you don't have to worry about missing anything.

325
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: Now back to what we were talking about. Okay, So

326
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: now Japan they've invaded China. America has warned them, Great

327
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: Britain has warned them, you need to get out. You

328
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: need to get out. We don't like this. You're messing

329
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: up our stuff we have going on in China. Get out.

330
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: We want you out. Get out. Japan feels like it

331
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have the option to get out, and so Japan

332
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: they decide they have to go all in. And what

333
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: all in for Japan looked like was this Japan. It's crazy.

334
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: People do not understand the Cific war, the Pacific version

335
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: of World War Two is comfortably the largest theater of

336
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: war in the history of mankind. Because you're just used

337
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: to looking at all that blue on a globe and

338
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: it all kind of looks like it's sad. Just a

339
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: bunch of islands in there together somewhere. It looks super close.

340
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: It's massive. There are all these island chains around Japan

341
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: and Southeast Asia and the Philippines, all these Mariana Islands,

342
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Solomon Islands, there's so much out there. Guam the huge, huge,

343
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: and a gigantic area. Japan decides this is what they're

344
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: gonna do instead of getting out of China. They are

345
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: going to take a very very bold, frankly insane and

346
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: suicidal step. But they're going to take a very bold step,

347
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: and they're going to find They're going to identify the

348
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: places that have resources they want, and they're going to

349
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: use that new wonderful military they have and invade all

350
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: of them virtually at the same time. The goal is this.

351
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: The goal is to invade those places, seize their natural resources, oil, rubber,

352
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: things like that, sees their natural resources, and then brace

353
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: themselves for what they know will come. There will be

354
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: a backlash of some kind, there will be some kind

355
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: of counterattack, but the plan is grab these areas, Hold

356
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: these areas. We how are the warriors, we are the samurai.

357
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: They will not be able to kick us out of

358
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: these islands. The losses will be too great. The soft

359
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Westerners are too cissified. They'll give up, and we will

360
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: keep most of what we've seized. In the end, if

361
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: you're Japan, you win, even if you lose some troops,

362
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: even if you lose some of the land you've seized,

363
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: in the end, you'll have more than you had before.

364
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: Right in the end, you're better off. That was their

365
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: way of thinking. And do keep in mind, prior to this,

366
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: that had really been most of the history of warfare.

367
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: The loser generally got something, even if you lost. You

368
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: kept saying, hey, let's negotiate a settlement. You can have

369
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: a little of this and all have a little that,

370
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: and we'll stop shooting each other in the face. You're good, good, Yeah,

371
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: we're good. So Japan decided to make another fateful decision,

372
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: and this was the one that ended Japan, probably probably

373
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: the biggest military blunder by a nation state in the

374
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: history of mankind. Japan decided that America had to be

375
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: taken care of. And this look, you should know that

376
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: when this plan, when the plan of Pearl Harbor was proposed,

377
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: it was Yamamota was His name is actually a military genius,

378
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: fascinating guy. But would he propose the plan to attack

379
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor? He was shot down immediately by the Japanese.

380
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: They said, have you lost your mind? You went to

381
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: attack the United States of what? No, No, Yamamoto. He

382
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: was so adamant that this was the only way. He

383
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: actually threatened to quit. He threatened to quit if you

384
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't do it. And they valued this guy's leadership and

385
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: his knowledge so much. They said, okay, well, what's the plan?

386
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: And he said, this is a plan. We go attack

387
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. We attack America's aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor,

388
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: because they clearly knew aircraft carriers were going to be

389
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: the future. You want planes landing on ships and taking

390
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: offer of ships. That's how you do naval warfare. Now,

391
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: he said, what we'll do is we'll go attack America's

392
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 1: carrier fleet in Pearl Harbor. That they didn't think they

393
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: were going to defeat us, by the way, that's something

394
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: people totally get wrong these days. They had no intention

395
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: of defeating us, They had no intention of avoiding war

396
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: with us, or that they knew we would declare war.

397
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: They knew we would come back. What they wanted to

398
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: do was hurt our fleet bad enough at Pearl Harbor

399
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: to give them the extra time they needed to really

400
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: dig in more in these islands and be two dug ins.

401
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: So when we showed up, the soft Americans simply would

402
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: not be able to withstand the Japanese spirit that Remember,

403
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: every minute you spend on an island, if you're a

404
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: Japanese armor, that island gets easier to defend because you're

405
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: building concrete pillboxes, you're building runways, you're building, you're building

406
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: the defenses. Time is time is your friend. You need

407
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: more of it. So what they did was they put

408
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: together an invasion fleet. Now it is hard for us

409
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: to understand. I'll be honest with you, I still don't

410
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: fully understand myself how something like this could remain this secret.

411
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: We knew there was a big fleet Japan was assembling.

412
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: We knew Japan had a modern navy. We saw what

413
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: they'd done to the Russian Navy, so we were well

414
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: aware of Japanese capabilities. But they put together a fleet.

415
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: They put together a fleet in the purpose of the

416
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: fleet is to cross the Pacific Ocean and secretly make

417
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: the way to Pearl Harbor. Because this is the cell

418
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: phone camera age, and there's nothing secret anymore. It's hard

419
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: for us to understand how something like that could be

420
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: that secret. Nevertheless, they pulled it off, and they took

421
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: off towards the United States of America in secret. Now

422
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: fast forward to Sunday morning, Pearl Harbor. We had no

423
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: idea they were coming at all. This is the part

424
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: of the story I won't spend too long on because

425
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: you know most of this story already. I thought the background,

426
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: you might not have known. We just didn't know they

427
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: were coming. And we'll never know the truth of this.

428
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: The Japanese claim there was some kind of an accident.

429
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: The Japanese didn't declare war before they attacked us. That's

430
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: actually a huge part of why America's response was so angry.

431
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: We were so mad about it, unconditional surrender, only because

432
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: it was the sucker punch aspect of it. Now, they

433
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: attacked us at Pearl Harbor, but we had some wonderful luck.

434
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: Or if you're a conspiracy theorist, you'll say FDR did

435
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: it on purpose. If you're a believer, you'll say it

436
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: was God's providence for whatever reason. The carriers that they

437
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: wanted to attack at Pearl Harbor. Weren't at Pearl Harbor.

438
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: They were out at sea. You can't find things out

439
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: at sea. It's very hard. It's a drop in the bucket.

440
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: So they showed up and there were a bunch of

441
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: battleships at Pearl Harbor. First wave of planes come in.

442
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: These are the planes that did the most damage. You

443
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: have several different kinds of planes, by the way. You

444
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: have torpedo planes, you have bombers, and I don't mean

445
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: like gigantic bombers that drop a bunch of bombs. You'll

446
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: have a plane with one five hundred pound bomb on

447
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: it and they'll try to drop it precisely. And that's

448
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: who came swooping into Pearl Harbor. Then the second wave

449
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: of planes eventually came after they did all that damage,

450
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: tried to shoot up your their fields and things like that,

451
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: and after that America declared war. Now I'm going to

452
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: do something a little different when we get back. We're

453
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: going to get back to some FBI talk and various

454
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: political talk. But I'm gonna play a little bit more

455
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: of this FDR speech than you've normally heard. Because everyone's

456
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: heard the beginning, Why don't you give us the juice

457
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: and hear a little bit more. I think the devil's

458
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: in the details. Sometimes I'll explain why in just a moment,

459
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a little bit more of this than

460
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: we'll get back to politics. Now. I know what you're thinking.

461
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Right now, I know exactly what you're thinking, Jesse. There

462
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: were so many heroes that day, and Jesse, you're also

463
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: my hero and I get that. What Chris, but all seriousness,

464
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: Get a hero gun because there's no one coming to

465
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: save you. A hero gun is a non lethal gun.

466
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: It shoots pepperballs one hundred miles per hour. They hit,

467
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: it hurts, and then they explode. It's freaking fantastic. It's

468
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: already saved lives of my listeners. A hero arrow shoots

469
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: the pepper gel brutal. It's a little smaller and more

470
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: aero dynamic, easier for easier to carry around, Easier for

471
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: women for sure. If it's right in a purse. It's

472
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: kind of shaped like a phone or a TV remote.

Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Shaw it is that Jesse Kelly Show.

482
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: And I never ever ever do what I'm about to do.

483
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like playing long audio cuts

484
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: on the show. I like playing them when we have

485
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: good ones, and I like playing for you and me

486
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: what the news that's out there and the things people

487
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: are saying. I think that's important. I don't like letting

488
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: it go on too long because it gets super boring.

489
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: And if somebody's driving home just now tuning in, Hey

490
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: where's Jesse, who's this person on the radio. So, in general,

491
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't like doing that, and I may cut in

492
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: here a couple times, but fdr that dairy that will

493
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: live an infamy thing. You know, that's about four minutes long.

494
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks it's about fifteen seconds, and that's the only

495
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: part day ever year. It's about four minutes long. I

496
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: think there's a couple of little interesting tidbits in there,

497
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good bit of history. I

498
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: know people listen with their kids, and I think this

499
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: is something that I think it's a cool thing for

500
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: people to hear. I may cut in, I may not.

501
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: It's very, very long, but I think it's important that

502
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: we hear it on this December seventh, and then we're

503
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: done with that. We're going to move on to political talk,

504
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: to GOP, the FBI, email's culture war stuff, all these things.

505
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: But here is the whole thing, Mister Vice President, mister Speaker,

506
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: Members of the Senate of the House of Representatives. Yesterday,

507
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: December seventh, nineteen forty one, a date which will live

508
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: in infamy, the United States of America were suddenly and

509
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire

510
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation,

511
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: and at the solicitation of Japan, we were at peace

512
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: with that nation a kind of do keep in mind

513
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: there was no military conflict, but as I just laid out,

514
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: we had already basically declared in economic war against Japan.

515
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: We I mean, we did the we seize their assets

516
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: in America, of not blaming us, but at peace with Japan.

517
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: It's the bit of a stretch was still in conversation

518
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: with its government and its emperor, looking toward the maintenance

519
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: of peace in the Pacific. The attack yesterday on the

520
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and

521
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: military forces. I regret to tell you that very many

522
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have

523
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco

524
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: and Honolulu. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy,

525
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

526
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: But always will our whole nation remember the character of

527
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may

528
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people,

529
00:33:49,640 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: in their righteous might, will win through to absolutely. I

530
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: hate after you are, and even I like this speech.

531
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: I can't help it. Like gets me fired up, Chris.

532
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm ready put me in coach. I believe that I

533
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: interpret the will of the Congress and of the people

534
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves

535
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: to the uttermost, but we'll make it very certain that

536
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: this farm of treachery shall never again endanger it. I'm

537
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna cut in again here really quickly, treachery. You hear

538
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: you hear the indignation in his voice. Do keep in

539
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: mind the attack itself was bad. Do not ever discount

540
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: the attack coming before they declared war, before they declared war,

541
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: that part of it. If you read the things people

542
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: wrote back then, people in leadership wrote back then, people

543
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: across the country wrote back then, it was that part

544
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: of it that created not just anger. Anger would have

545
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: been there anyway. It cemented a hatred in there. The

546
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: ultimate sucker punch, right you, You you're gonna you have

547
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: a squabble with a guy and you decide you're gonna

548
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: scrap out behind the gym after school that day. That's

549
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: one thing. You have a squabble with the guy and

550
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: he waits till your back is turned and runs up

551
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: and blast you in the back of a head. Now

552
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: that's a whole other thing. It was the sucker punch

553
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: aspect of it that really created this hatred. I'll let

554
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: him continue hostilities. Fish. There is no blinking at the

555
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: fact that are people, a territory and interests are in

556
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces. With the

557
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.

558
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: So help us God. I asked that the Congress declare

559
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: that since the unprovoked and dust early attack by Japan

560
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: unprovoked Sunday, December seventh, nineteen forty one, a state of

561
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.

562
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: And that is the speech. How about that. There's a

563
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: little history. Oops ended up taking up the whole hour. Chris, Well,

564
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: we'll talk about FBI stuff next. We have plenty of

565
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: time to talk about that. Tom Cotton dumpkin on people,

566
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Let's get to some emails. Jesse.

567
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: My wife and I try to give a nice donation

568
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: to charity every year around now. My wife asked me

569
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: which charity we should choose this year, and without hesitation,

570
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: I told her about Tunnel to Towers. It's tough to

571
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: find a charity that has a good mission that also

572
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: ends up spending most of its donations on its mission,

573
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: so we end up doing something local this time. We

574
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: feel great about our donation. Thanks for all you do.

575
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: Always fun to listen to your takes on things. But

576
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: one of the biggest takeaways is when you talk about

577
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: which companies and charities are worthy of the limited dollars

578
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: we have. This is from Chris. It is Christmas time.

579
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: I know you want to give back. I know you

580
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: have a generous heart. Unlike me, you're a good person.

581
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: Ease be careful with every nice sounding cause and charity

582
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: this year. Please be careful. I tell you about Tunnel

583
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: to Towers all the time, not just because they have

584
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: a great mission of caring for first responder families and

585
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: gold Star families, widows and orphans. I mean what they

586
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: do is wonderful. Don't don't take my word for it.

587
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: Go look up Tunnel to Towers. When you give to

588
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers, the money goes to the widows and orphans.

589
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: They don't say that send us money and then you

590
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: see the CEO on a private plane in Barbados. No,

591
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: when you give it gets to widows and orphans. T

593
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,480
