1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear.

Also, 31 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: i'm gonna tell you how it happened and why it happened. 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a crazy day on The Jesse Kelly's Show. 33 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: We have World News with BK coming up. BK with 34 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: World News with K's coming up. In the final hour, 35 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: I decided because this announcement was coming, we have jaw 36 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: dropping audio from Kamala Harris today. I have a history 37 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: story I have to get through. There's too much to 38 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: get to only one guest today, But first I have 39 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: come to accept something. You are terrible. When I have 40 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: a broken sunroof, my emails and voicemails are full of 41 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: people making fun of me for it. When I admit 42 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: to wearing flip flops on occasion. I am mocked continuously 43 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: for it. So I've accepted that you're bad people. But 44 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: here's what I've really accepted. A long time ago, my mentor, 45 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Michael Berry, he told me, he said, eventually, you're going 46 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to realize something. I said, Okay, well what is that? 47 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: And he said to me, don't ever get mad at 48 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: your audience, because the truth is your audience is a 49 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: reflection of who you are. You will attract the people 50 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: who are like you. So what I say, you're terrible, 51 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: I understand that means I'm terrible. We get voicemails like 52 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: this and this is just mean. Hey Jesse, Hi JPC. 53 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: So I've been listening to the show for about a 54 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: year now, and I've heard you promise a lot of 55 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: things to the listeners. You know, you're gonna catch up 56 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: on all the doctor Jesse questions. You're gonna do a 57 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: whole week of asked doctor Jesse questions. You're going on 58 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: a trip, but actually it's a different trip. You're gonna 59 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: tell us your news, but maybe you'll tell us next week, 60 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: probably next week, maybe it'll be on Tuesday. Well, you know, 61 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: I've heard your quote unquote explanations for all of these false, 62 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: misleading and vague statements. But what I'd really like to 63 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: hear is your defense of these listener left downs in 64 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the style of your most admired political figure, Nancy Pelosi. 65 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Love the show, Thanks for doing everything, man, and I 66 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: haven't worn flaps since I started listening to the shows. Well, 67 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: I love you. That was wonderful. Was absolutely wonderful. Okay, 68 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: all right, that's I have emails here, Dear Oracle Jesse. 69 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: For two weeks you've gone on about some huge news 70 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: you have but can't share. All I've seen is news 71 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: about every other talk show host getting promoted in showtimes. 72 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: You just want to be included, Jesse. I'm tired of 73 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: your shenanigans. I'm calling it right now, you're announcing a 74 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: deal with someone else. This is I think you're making 75 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: a deal with the EIP Networks, so on and so forth. 76 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: Let me explain what the deal is and what it means. 77 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: And yes, you're still going to get a history segment today. 78 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: I have signed with Premier Networks. Now, I don't expect 79 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: you all to know that is. Anyone in radio will 80 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: know who that is. But I've signed with Premieer Networks. 81 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: What that is is Premier Networks is, by a significant margin, 82 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: the largest radio syndication company in the United States of America. 83 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: What does that actually mean. Well, here's what it means. 84 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show is now going to be on 85 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: over two hundred stations coast to coast across the United States. 86 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: And I mean in all the major cities, smaller cities, 87 00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: it is absolutely everywhere. It is going to mean. Well, 88 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: let me just be frank with you, everything just changed. 89 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: This is a ridiculous dream. Have absolutely no business being here. 90 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: I fully admit that whatsoever. I am an uneducated piece 91 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: of white trash. I get that I am rough around 92 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: the edges, to put it mildly, I'm offensive, I'm rude, 93 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: I'm a sociopath. I shouldn't be here. These things should 94 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: not happen to me. But it did happen. And now 95 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: apparently this show, which was already growing really rapidly, and 96 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: I know that's part of the reason it happened. It 97 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: was growing really rapidly. Apparently now it's going to be gigantic. 98 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: It is going to be heard live no matter where, 99 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: no matter when you hear it. Now it's going to 100 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: be heard live six pm to nine pm Eastern on 101 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: most of those stations. There will be some differences between 102 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: this station and this one's dead so that but for 103 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: the most part, you will be able to listen to 104 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: this show a lot in the Sultry Sounds of My Voice, 105 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: What Chris, The Sultry Sounds of My Voice live from 106 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: six to nine pm Eastern Monday through Friday. The kickoff 107 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: of that new show is June twenty eighth. Now I 108 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: have to clarify because there are some changes coming to 109 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: the show, changes coming to this show. Let's get something 110 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: out of the way right away. This timing of this 111 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: comes at a good time for me because I haven't 112 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: expressed it to you. I've just been working around it. 113 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: But the history portion, no, it's not going away. Don't 114 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: freak out. I love history so much and I love 115 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: talking to you about it so much. I hate having 116 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: to take breaks when I'm telling you a history story. 117 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: I'll just be honest with you. It's been wearing on 118 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: me for a long time. I hate having look. I 119 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: understand it's the basics of radio, and I need to 120 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: do it. I hate having to do radio teases during 121 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: a history story, and then the spartans were the three hundred. 122 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Did I mention? No, on the final hour, we're going 123 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: to talk about Donald Trump, and I hate that it 124 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: ruins the story. I'm trying to tell a story. It's necessary, 125 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: it's no one's fault, but I hate doing it what 126 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing with the history story, and the premier has 127 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: already agreed to do all this for me. I am 128 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: separating the history thing to a podcast where I don't 129 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: have to do teases, and I don't have commercial breaks, 130 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: and I don't have a time limit. I don't have 131 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: any limitations at all. I can sit down for two 132 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: hours if I feel like it, and not have to 133 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: worry about a guest or times or breaks or anything else, 134 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: and you and I can just talk about history. The history. Now, 135 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: let me clarify. On the regular six to nine show. Look, 136 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: I'm still me there's going to be history every single 137 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: day that show. Is it gonna open with an hour 138 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: long history story every day? No, because I'm separating it 139 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: out and I'm frustrated with the brakes, But there's gonna 140 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: be history still every day. We're gonna have a history 141 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: less than at least a minyone every day in the 142 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: regular show. That is the news on the Jesse Kelly Show. 143 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: Now I'll repeat that news again next hour, and then 144 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: the next hour, because again it's radio. People only listen 145 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: for a little bit at a time. I have thought 146 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: about this a long time. I mean, this stuff doesn't 147 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: happen to people. You don't start doing radio like three 148 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: years ago and then all of a sudden get nationally syndicated. 149 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: Guys are in this business for thirty years and never 150 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: get naturally syndicated and then go from just national syndication 151 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: to the biggest national syndication company. And that doesn't This 152 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: does not happen. I don't know of another rise like 153 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: this ever, this fast in the history of radio. To 154 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: be honest with you, so I've thought about this a 155 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: long time in deep down, I really just I want 156 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: to thank myself now what Chris, I thought about it 157 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: for a long time. Let's get to our story today. Now, 158 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: this is a great story about the forgotten. I think 159 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: about the forgotten a lot, and I mean a lot. 160 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: What do I mean by forgotten? Let's talk about our 161 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: warriors we should have remembered. Hang on on the Jordan 162 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Harbinger Show, you'll hear amazing stories from people that have 163 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: lived them, from spies to CEOs, even an undercover agent 164 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: who infiltrated the Gambino crime family.

I 216 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: know this for a fact because we all, me, you, everybody, 217 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: we all, we all have high points of history. We remember. 218 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: You just didn't. Look. The human mind can only comprehend 219 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: so much, so you remember high points of things. And 220 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: when I say war in the Pacific, what you think 221 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: of is this? You think of probably Adam bombs, maybe Hiroshima. 222 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: You think of if you're if you're a little bit 223 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: more of a buff. I mean, if you're hearing my voice, 224 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: you undoubtedly think of things like Eogima, Guataca, now Pellulu. 225 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: You know the various major battles out there, tara Wa, 226 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: the various huge ones that hit the high marks. Do 227 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: you know one thing you absolutely do not think of 228 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: when I say Warren the Pacific? And I guarantee I don't. 229 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are listening to my 230 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: voice right now. I know it's a lot, but I 231 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: guarantee not a single person when I say Warren the 232 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: Pacific thinks to themselves, Oh, that's that's New Georgia. You 233 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: don't even know what New Georgia is. Most people don't. 234 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: Don't feel dumb. Most people don't New Georgia. What are 235 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: you too? I want you to do me a favor. 236 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: You'll enjoy this.

And you know there's endless podcasts out there. 250 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: Put in New Georgia. Let me, let me spoil it 251 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: for you. No one knows, No one cares about the 252 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: New Georgia campaign and the Pacific Why will? You? And 253 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: I were human beings and I don't know about you. 254 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: But I'm not lying when I say I'm a bad person. 255 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: My life is a law relist of screw ups. And 256 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't mean screw ups like oh whoops, I spilled 257 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: the milk. I mean just me doing stupid, inexcusable things. 258 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: I should be dead. I don't deserve any of this 259 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: success that it's just it's but we don't really like 260 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: to dwell on those, right, We don't like to dwell 261 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: on the screwups asked. You asked someone to tell you 262 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: about their life, what do you get? I remember that 263 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: my first car, my first girlfriend, my first kiss, when 264 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: I got married. I remember my first child, my first 265 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: big job promotion. I remember when I could an assistant 266 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: manager and went out and bought a four door Sedan. 267 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: I remember a vacation. You know what you never ever 268 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: ever get when you asked somebody to tell you about 269 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: their life right off the bat, Oh man, I remember. 270 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: I remember when I was an alcoholic for a while. 271 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: I remember that time I wrapped a car around a tree. 272 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: I remember that time I shoplifted a candy bar in 273 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: the store. I remember the time I got fired from 274 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: my job because I was too lazy and didn't you up? 275 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: You don't you never get that now. I'm not bringing 276 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: all this up because I want you to dwell on 277 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: those parts of your life. I've just accepted I'm a 278 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: bad person. That is what it is. I'm bringing this 279 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: up because I think it's unjust to the guys who 280 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: went and died in these places that we simply forget 281 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: about them and the sacrifices they make, just because we're 282 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: not that proud of this particular campaign. When I say 283 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: war in the Pacific, you think marines. You think army 284 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: units fighting tooth and nail against the Japanese and storming 285 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: through them with our American grit. And that's right, that's 286 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: how you should think of it, right. It didn't always 287 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: work out that way, you see. Let's begin at the 288 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: beginning with the Pacific, with the War in the Pacific. 289 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: And I may end up going a little long on 290 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: this because I had to do the announcement and whatnot, 291 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: but we're gonna give this thing the credit it deserves. 292 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: Just because I have an announcement in news and all 293 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: this audio. I'm not storming through this because I'm not 294 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: going to disrespect it by not talking about it. The 295 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: War in the Pacific, you know, it kicks off with 296 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. Everyone who listens to this show knows why 297 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: it kicked off Pearl Harbor. Japan was short on resources, 298 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: had been invading China for a long time. America cuts 299 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Japan off from its resources because Japan has to import 300 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: it's steel and oil and everything else because Japan doesn't 301 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: have anything for natural resources. Japan gets mad about that, 302 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 1: realizes war is imminent because they can't make themselves leave China. 303 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: They think the best way to make war because they 304 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: view it from a more Eastern philosophy. Again, a lot 305 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: of the Japanese inexcusable, detestable behavior in World War Two, 306 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: a lot of it honestly simply gets traced back today 307 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: share a more Eastern you would probably call it more 308 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: brutal view of war. That's just how they look conquerors. 309 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: You know what conquers do to the conquered whatever they want, 310 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: because you're conquerors. That's just look from Genghis Khan and 311 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: long before him. That's how they've done war in the East. 312 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: So Japan comes up with the plan, Okay, America cut 313 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: us off. America has this big Pacific fleet. We don't 314 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: like that, but we have an advantage. We have a chance. 315 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: They didn't think they had a great chance. They'll be 316 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: clarify this. Japan didn't walk into this thinking, oh, we 317 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: got this covered. They thought they had one chance, and 318 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: one chance only. Let's punch him in the mouth at 319 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. They'll be hurt for long enough. We can 320 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: dig in and a bunch of islands in the Pacific, 321 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: and Americans are too soft and weak in white to 322 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: take it back, and I bring up white because remember, 323 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: you know who's prejudice? Everyone, every single person shares something, 324 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: and this was an era where people were more open 325 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: about it. We were heard to the Japanese in some 326 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: cases as yellow monkeys. They thought white people in the 327 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: West were weak, soft, and pathetic. I just it was 328 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: just the norm. That's how people talked about other people 329 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: back then. Let's dig into New Georgia and then we'll 330 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: get to this uh kamala hair stuff. Hang on. You 331 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: would think with all the public policy debates so that 332 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: are taking place right now that you know, the Republican 333 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: Party would be engaged in a significant debate about how 334 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: are we going to deal with the economy, and what 335 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: are we going to do about climate change? And what 336 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: are we going to do about lo and behold, the 337 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: single most important issue to them apparently right now is 338 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: critical race theory. Who knew that that was the threat 339 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: to our republic? It is the Jesse Kelly Show eight 340 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: seven seven three seven seven four three seven three Jesse 341 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly show dot com. If you want to call, 342 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: leave a voicemail, send an email with obviously I know 343 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna pour out your love for me today with 344 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: the big news at what Chris. I'm trying to get 345 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: ahead of all the love they're going to pour out 346 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: for me. Remember, all your emails go right to Jewish 347 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: producer Chris. He prints them all out for me. I 348 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: read them all in case you're wondering. And I doubt 349 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: there's a single person out there wondering. But in case 350 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: you are wondering, Yes, Jewish producer Chris has come along 351 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: for the new show. They asked me right away, do 352 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: you want to keep Jewish Producer Chris. I said, well no, 353 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: but I feel obligated. I feel like it's the way 354 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: I give back every day is to be more charitable 355 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: and help out those who are less fortunate. So I 356 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: would like to bring Jewish producer Chris along. And they 357 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: said fine, I guess so, as long as he doesn't 358 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: handicap the show anymore than he already does. No, but yes, 359 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: he is coming along. Nothing's changing now, warned the Pacific. 360 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: So you know the Japanese are dug in. We decide 361 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: to kick off our campaign. The first real big campaign 362 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: we did over there as far as the island hopping 363 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: stuff was Guadalcanal. And I need to explain something about 364 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: island hopping. The Japanese were, frankly in an impossible situation, 365 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: not when they could win, but the whole island defense 366 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: strategy was dreadful. Then here's why. What the Japanese would 367 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: do is just picture now there were tons. I mean 368 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: there's thousands of them, thousands and thousands and thousands of 369 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: island in the gigantics circle the Japanese control. I think 370 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: there's over six thousand japan alone today like the japan 371 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: they currently have, so we're talking tens of thousands of islands. 372 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: The plan was, obviously, you take this island, you build 373 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: an airfield, an airfield. Remember we're always going to talk 374 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: air fields. Airfields were the critical parts of these islands. 375 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: That's how you get supplies in and out, men in 376 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: and out. You put you put bombers on these airfields. 377 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: You put fighter planes on these airfields, airfields or everything, 378 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: whether they're mobile like aircraft carriers or on the islands. 379 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: You put an airfield there, a little base there, put 380 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of men there, some food there, and you 381 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: make the Americans come take them. Well, if you're the Japanese, 382 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: which islands have you ever thought about that? I know, 383 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm a know, I'm a nerd when it comes to 384 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: things like this. But look, let's say you're the big 385 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: boss man of Japan. The emperor and not the emperor 386 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: didn't make these decisions. But let's say you're the emperor 387 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: making this decision and you're looking at the islands, which 388 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: ones and this is where? Again? You and I can 389 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: our minds play tricks on us. We like to imagine. Well, 390 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure they have it figured out, just like they 391 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: did with coronavirus. Right anyway, I'm sure they haven't figured 392 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: out well, who has it figured out? Well? The planners, 393 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: what planners, I mean the generals. The general said, okay, 394 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: you're a general, which islands? So the Japanese had to 395 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: be selective. You couldn't occupy all of them, and they 396 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: had to pick, you know, an island here and I'm 397 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: in there, island here, I'm in there. But one thing 398 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: they I mean, they probably anticipated it, but there's not 399 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: really a way around this. What do you do if 400 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: you don't have naval superiority forever, which they didn't. They 401 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: did in the beginning, in the very very beginning, but 402 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: then that quickly went away because they couldn't build ships 403 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: fast enough. They just weren't good enough. What if What 404 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: if we just sail past the island you have fortified 405 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: and go to a different one. You see what I mean. 406 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: It sounds so simplistic, but when you think about it, 407 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: look at just picture a big blob of islands. Okay, 408 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: we're the Japanese. We're fortifying this one, this one, and 409 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: this one. Come and take it and we go. No, 410 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: I think I'll just sail by. So it wasn't always 411 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't always you know, it wasn't always pre planned 412 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: which islands we were going to have to take back. 413 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes we just danced around whatever they were doing. We 414 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: had taken Guadalcanal, we were in the middle of this. 415 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: You know, we're just taking guadal Canal. And now we 416 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: were looking at this place called New George. And there 417 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: are a few different islands around New Georgia. I'm just 418 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: gonna focus on that island, but just know there are 419 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: other islands around it that I could be bringing up 420 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: right now as we speak. It was the next one 421 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: in line on the way to Raball. Yeah. The only 422 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: reason I bring up Raball. I know I'm hammering you 423 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: with too many names today. The only reason I bring 424 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: up Raball was this Raball was this island the Japanese 425 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: decided we were not gonna take and we're just gonna 426 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: fortify it and keep pouring troops and resources in there 427 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: and things like that. So remember that. Now we leave 428 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Guadalcanal and we're heading up towards New Georgia. We actually 429 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: land in the Russell Islands. Don't worry about remembering that 430 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: we land nine thousand troops there, and because we're expecting 431 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: some robust Japanese defense and they're gonna fight us tooth 432 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: and nail. And it turns out we were met on 433 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: the beaches with two guys who handed us cups of coffee. 434 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: The Japanese had decided they couldn't defend the Russell Islands 435 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: and had already abandoned them before we showed up. So 436 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: we're thinking, you know, this is this is going well. 437 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: Now I want you to understand, as we're sailing towards 438 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: New Georgia and throughout the War in the Pacific, this 439 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: is how you need to think of the War in 440 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: the Pacific. You could study it and read books about 441 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: it from now for the next ten years and not 442 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: even come close to encompassing all the little air battles 443 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: in naval battles, and little battles here and little battles 444 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: there that were so critical. What do I mean by that, Well, 445 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: here's just an overview example. You're sailing towards an island. 446 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: The Japanese know you're sailing towards the island, and the 447 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Japanese send a fleet to intercept you sailing towards the island. 448 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: Only they launch aircraft from their boats, and you launch 449 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: aircraft from your boats. And there's a big air battle 450 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: up there, and someone wins and someone loses, and then 451 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: there's a naval battle and some of the ships get 452 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. This island needs resupplied with food. 453 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: The Japanese have to send food to this side, and 454 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: otherwise their guys are starving to death. Oh good, there's 455 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: a big food ship coming. Oh no, an American torpedoes 456 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: sunk the food ship. Now those guys starve to death. 457 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: The story of the war and the Pacific is a 458 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: million little stories like that. What are we doing at 459 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: this time? As we approached the island, We're sweeping up mines. 460 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: The Japanese were outstanding at mining harbors, and mining places 461 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: where you want to go. Just to explain this, I 462 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: realized sometimes I gloss over these things. A mine in 463 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: the water is something that is it's a bomb that 464 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: is moored to the bottom of the ocean, so it's 465 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: more down and it's moored at different depths. What does 466 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: that mean. Well, the tide rises and falls in the ocean, 467 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: so you want your minds. Some are deeper than others. 468 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: But they're in a place where you think ships are 469 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: going to go. The ships don't know they're there, don't 470 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: see they're there, are sailing right over the top of them. Kaboom, 471 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: big old explosion. And the underwater portion of the boat, 472 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: which I don't know if you've heard, is a big deal. 473 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: Boat goes to the bottom of the ocean. Now, the 474 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: Japanese they had put in ten they'd put ten thousand, 475 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: five hundred troops on New Georgia. They'd taken it back 476 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty two as part of their big expansion campaign. 477 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: Let's expand dig in and make sure the Americans can't 478 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: take it. Now, we knew about reball, we knew how 479 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: many men the Champanese had on Raball. We just thought 480 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: we would take New Georgia and then maybe go buy 481 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: Raball or we'll take New Georgia and then we'll kind 482 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: of bumble around it a little bit. We'll just kind 483 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: of dance around the ball. But we just have to 484 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: take New Georgia first, Right, it shouldn't be a big deal. Look, 485 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: we just took Water Canal. What's the problem. Well, let's 486 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: talk about those problems. Hang on to Jesse Kelly Show 487 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three 488 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot Com. I'm gonna get 489 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: to Kamala, I'm gonna get to Obama. We have to 490 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: finish New Georgia, and we have to finish it quickly 491 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: enough so I can get back to talking about me. Yes, 492 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: if you're just now tuning in, you missed the big news. 493 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: The big news is apparently the show ended up getting 494 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: pretty popular. It's so stupid. There's no reason for the 495 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: show to be popular. And I signed with Premier Networks, 496 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: the biggest syndication company in the country by a significant margin. 497 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: And now the Jesse Kelly Show is going to be 498 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: on over two hundred stations in this country, all the 499 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: big markets, all the big cities. It's this does not happen. 500 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: It's never happened before. I just started doing radio three 501 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: years ago, so yeah, unreal. Now back to the New 502 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: Georgia campaign. In all seriousness, it was it was going 503 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: to be an ugly affair because New Georgia was on 504 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: the way to reball. Whenever you hear the words roball, 505 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know that word because we 506 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: didn't end up fighting there, but the Japanese had poured 507 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: men in resources into Raball. It was a Japanese super fortress. 508 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: Not to give away the end of the story here, 509 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: but we never took it and never intended to. We 510 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: found out how many men and supplies they had there, 511 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: and it was just one of those islands. We were like, well, 512 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: wait a minute, let me just sail around it. Let 513 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: us sail around it and cut off their naval supplies 514 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: and let them all starve to death. But because it 515 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: was so close to New Georgia, the Japanese decide, let's 516 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: go ahead and make sure the Americans have to pay 517 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: dearly for New Georgia. It's not that they it's not 518 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: that they didn't think we could take New Georgia. They 519 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: knew what the resources we had. We were going to 520 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: take it. But there they were. They're thinking was we 521 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: can pour so much men in material from Rubaal into 522 00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: New Georgia that America will bleed taking this place, bleed. 523 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: Taking this place we land on New Georgia, we pour 524 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: men and resources into it. The Japanese pour men and 525 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: resources into it, and very quickly we find out this 526 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: is going to be a brutal affair because they have 527 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: so many men and so much stuff there, and the 528 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: jungle is so thick that it just gets ground down 529 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: to a stalemate. In the thick jungle, the supplies for 530 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: both sides aren't even getting through. Because again, remember when 531 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: I talked about all the million little battles that are happening, 532 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: those are all happening out on the water. Those naval 533 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: ships shooting at each other. That's our food, that's our ammunition. 534 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: That's the way we're going to evacuate the wounded. That's 535 00:34:54,520 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: your lifeline. They get ground down to the nubs in 536 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: American tanks. American tanks ended up being pretty critical, and 537 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: the Pacific. The reason I say pretty critical is this, 538 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: they were extremely critical in Europe. The Pacific was so 539 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: thick that it was hard to use tanks, especially big tanks, effectively. 540 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: Now we did. We figured out ways to use them, 541 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: clearing out the jungle, things like that, but they were 542 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: harder to use effectively. They got much more effective for 543 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: us when we started putting these sweet flamethrowers on them 544 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: that shot like one hundred meters. But anyway, they were 545 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: hard to use effectively, especially early on the war. And 546 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: this is early in the war where we didn't know 547 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: how to use them. The tanks kept getting stuck in 548 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 1: the jungle and the Japanese anti tank gunners were out 549 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: there smoking our tanks. I have a little thing for you, 550 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: if you want something new, Georgia, I have a little 551 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: link I'm gonna send to you at the end of 552 00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: the show. I'm gonna give you a little link at 553 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: the end of this show. It's going to bring this 554 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: story to life for you even more. Our tanks are 555 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: getting blown up. We have a village we want to 556 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: take and you're used to Pacific stories where Americans see 557 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: this and want to take it right and then go 558 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: take it. Oh, of course, some men die, but our 559 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: heroism brings us through. We didn't get this village. The 560 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: Japanese dug in and they slaughtered us. The Japanese are 561 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: still sending troops. We end up having too much naval 562 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: power and the Japanese had to stop sending troops, which 563 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: ended up being the difference. But yeah, we took New 564 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: Georgia in the end. But you know why, you never 565 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: read about New Georgia, and you never watched a movie 566 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: about New Georgia, And you can't find a documentary on 567 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: New Georgia, and you can't find a podcast on it. 568 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: It's hard to find a book on New Georgia. Do 569 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: you know why? We had five thousand casualties on New Georgia? 570 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred of those casualties were psychological casualties. And 571 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: our men who died on New Georgia, some people estimate 572 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the men who died on New Georgia 573 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: were shot by their own troops. The jungle was so thick, 574 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: the fighting was so confusing, the stalemate so bad. Nerves 575 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 1: were so afraid that our best and brightest didn't do that. Well, 576 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: let's talk about that real quick, and then we'll get 577 00:37:44,040 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: to this Kamal Harris stuff.
