This is a Jesse Kelly show. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:29.039 I want you to imagine something. I want you to 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.399 imagine you and your four hundred men landing and a 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:40.559 little clearing surrounded by jungle mountains, thinking you're just going 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.199 out on a pretty routine action and finding out you're 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:50.360 surrounded by sixteen hundred men who want to murder you. Yeah, 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:51.960 we're gonna get to that story in a second. It 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.120 is The Jesse Kelly Show, and it's going to be 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.160 a doozy of a day. I am finally, are you 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.080 going to speak about what happened in Minnesota with that 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.600 shooting and the looting and everything else. In case you're 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.720 wondering why I didn't speak about it yesterday. I am 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.919 the only person left in the United States that actually 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:20.880 sits back and waits and listens and watches until I 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.480 have the facts before I comments on something I understand 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.920 in this social media day and age, everybody has to 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:36.560 be first. I don't have to be first. Johnson and Johnson. Oh, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.400 there has been a call by the FDA to halt 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:46.320 the Johnson and Johnson vaccine blood clots. I'm gonna give 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.600 you my honest take on the vaccine and Johnson and 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.920 Johnson and everything else. We have an awesome show for 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.440 you today on The Jesse Kelly Show. But first, oh, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.920 and don't forget we have in the last hour former 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:08.040 Air Force PJ. BK's joining us. I'm gonna ask him, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.480 because he's been far to the left of me and 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.520 all the vaccine COVID stuff. I'm gonna ask him his 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.880 take on the vaccine stuff. But first, let's rewind a bit. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:26.800 Let's go back to well, shoot, even French Indo China 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.840 is not going to be good enough. Let's go back 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:34.079 to World War two wish, World War two wish, and 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.520 what we're gonna be talking about today is Vietnam. What 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.200 you know as Vietnam, but we have to do a 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.120 brief setup on it to understand what kind of people 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.880 we're dealing with over there. The one of the things 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.280 I love so much about history is the more you 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.560 read about it, listen to a podcast on it, watch 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.120 a TV show about it, the easier it is to 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.320 learn the rest of it, because it all bleeds together. 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.000 You learn one subject and all of a sudden you 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.200 get a little curious, Well, what happened what happened before this? 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.600 Oh oh, that's really interesting. That explains how they got there. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.000 We'll wait, where did that go after? And oh, oh, 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.360 I get it that one thing led to another. It 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.599 just it always builds on itself. I get people who 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.920 email in or call in all the time, and how 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.679 do you know so much about history? One, I don't 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.120 know so much about history. I just geek out on it. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.800 So I dig into it and learn it too. Like 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.679 I said, once you get a base of knowledge about something, 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.719 it just builds on itself. Seemingly unrelated things will build 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:50.719 on themselves. Learning about how the Netherlands colonized Cape cod 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.680 help me understand today's story even better, or not Cape 0:04:55.040 --> 0:05:01.839 the Cape of Good Hope. It all bleeds into one another. France, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:08.760 France was running French Indo China. French Indo China was Vietnam, 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.680 Cambodia and Laos. That's what you would know that as 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.320 today it's Southeast All you need to know Southeast Asia jungle. No, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.200 it's not that big, Chris, it's not that big. It's 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.599 it's I mean, it's it's not small, but it's not 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.680 that big. But this was the colonial era prior to 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:28.720 World War Two. France was running things down there in France. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.599 It depends on who you talk to. I guess I 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.479 should say. When it comes to how they colonize this 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:43.640 historically Historically, France was actually pretty stinking good about how 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.920 they colonized places. When I say good, I mean as 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.520 far as living conditions for the natives, Like we rented 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.160 to this in the United States of America, where Britain 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.719 wanted to colonize and did colonize this place, Britain was 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:02.920 much more purposeful about it was. Okay Indians, Hi, guys. Uh, yeah, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.279 I'd like to be friends. If not, that's fine whatever. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.480 Just guess what, we're building a huge ford here. If 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.320 you cause any trouble, we'll bring in some troops and 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.680 murder you all. Good to go? Sound good? Okay? They 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.840 were very more what you think of colonizing. France didn't 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.800 necessarily do that. There's a reason the French and Indian 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.920 War was fought only it was France and the Indians 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.680 fighting the Brits. France was often very, very very cordial 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.440 with the tribes or with the native people's wherever they 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:36.320 moved in. Hey, let's be pals, oh America, American Indians, Hi, guys, 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.360 should we trade first? Should we be friends? Yeah? I 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.400 guess we should. Let's do that. They did the same 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:47.480 kind of thing everywhere they went. Understand, there's nothing new 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.599 under the sun. These superpowers back in the day, especially Britain, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.520 in France and Spain, and those are the big ones. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.440 When they were bouncing all around the world, they had 0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.520 a colonizing playbook. Oh there's this new land. Disc Well 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.560 what step one? Step one, we got to move in there, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.240 step two. They all only it was a different playbook 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:06.839 for each nation, but they all kind of did it 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.720 the same way. France when they moved into then French 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.880 Indo China. We'll just call it Vietnam for the rest 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.600 of the show, because that's about the last time I'm 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.120 going to go through saying that word. When they moved 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.720 into Vietnam, they really tried to do it the same 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:29.120 way and with virtually the same results. They were, at 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:34.800 least initially getting along pretty stinking well with the Vietnamese 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:39.200 people who were there. And remember, I know what your 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.200 college professors told you in America's evil, and colonization's evil, 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.160 and everything's evil. And one it's just called conquering, Okay, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.520 it's the history of the world. Two, it's not always evil. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.280 It certainly can be, it's not always evil. France moved 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.760 in there, and did they, you know, put their will 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.360 on the people of Vietnam, no question about it. You're 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.640 going to do the things I want you to do. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.120 You're going to do them when I want you to 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:13.040 do them. However, if you're a tribal people, a native 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.560 people of a nation that's being colonized, let's not sit 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.000 here and pretend you don't get any bennies from being colonized. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:29.680 All of a sudden, you have, wow, roads, really nice infrastructure, schools. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:36.120 Oh wait a minute, what's that? Our average life expectancy 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.840 basically doubled? Oh, I can't imagine. Oh, it turns out 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.240 modern modern medicine actually is really important. Do you mean 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.319 you have to brush your teeth? No way, I had 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.960 no idea. And you get the protection of having your 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:59.040 big daddy colonial power standing behind you. Yeah, he gets 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.560 to take your lunch when he wants. But guess what, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:08.800 no one else does. No one else does until Japan 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:14.959 comes along. Along comes World War two and Japan. I'm 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.400 not gonna go into this. I've gone into it a 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.599 thousand times because I love the subjects, and I'll go 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.199 into it a thousand more. It just don't have time 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:25.439 for it today. Japan bows up stomps into French Indo 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.960 China and says sorry, France, get out, it's ours now, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:35.800 and France takes over. Japan takes over. Now. Understand when 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.000 I say all colonization is not evil, I mean that. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:44.960 But some of idiots you really don't want to be 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:51.640 colonized by Japan around World War two era. I'm not 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.000 putting them down because you know I'm a fan, but man, 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.280 they did not treat other people's any other people's well. 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.600 Japan takes over French Indo China and they proceed to 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.760 treat it like like an ATM machine of supplies because 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:16.199 this is part of the Japan plan. Take all these lands, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.560 dig in, fortify them to make it too hard for 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.559 the Allies to take them back, and then pillage them 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.080 for all the supplies. What did that pillaging look like 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:32.559 in Vietnam? I'm about to tell you. And oh on 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:54.720 the vaccine hang on feeling a little stocky? Follow like 0:10:54.800 --> 0:11:00.280 a subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly DC. Jake's mint 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:06.080 chew will help you quit dipping tobacco. And I am 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.560 one of those people who really really struggled quitting and 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.240 it's my own stupid fault. I started doing it when 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.680 I was a teenager and just did it for years. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.560 I loved it, so it's my own fault. I'm not 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.560 pointing any fingers, but as someone who did it for years, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.120 I really really struggled quitting. I even I'm almost ashamed 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.520 to say it. I even used a nicotine patch at 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.720 one point. Nothing worked for me. Jake's Mint Chew actually 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.280 works because what I needed I needed a fix of 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.160 having something in my lip. It was partially the nicotine, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.560 but I needed something in my lip. So whenever I 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.360 wanted that dip after dinner or something like that, reach 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.320 for Jake's Mint Chew Nicotine free and tobacco free.

It is The Jesse Kelly Show 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.440 eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.960 Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot Com. I have a 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.040 stack of good emails today. It's gonna be a sweet day. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.120 Some crazy stories. This vaccine stuff, Chris, have you seen 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:44.480 this vaccine stuff? Wow? Chris, do be a favor. I'm 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.360 gonna I have to finish my history story. First, look up, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.559 sorry we do sometimes we do the show research during 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:51.960 the show, so you guys, you have to deal with it. 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.880 Look up how many doses of that Johnson and Johnson 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.880 vaccine have already been given out? Anyway, back to my story, 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:05.400 Japan stomps into French, Indo, China, Vietnam during World War 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.679 two for World War two, however, you want to look 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.000 at that and says, okay, it's ours now, and they 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.959 just absolutely pillage the place. And as the war goes 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.479 on and on and Japan starts losing and Japan starts starving, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:27.000 the pillaging of Vietnam gets worse. It's considered pretty much 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:32.600 a genocide that nobody knows about. We're talking a million 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:39.160 Vietnamese people dead. A million. So if you're in Vietnam, 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.720 you have been colonized and taken over by France. Many 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:47.400 people were unhappy about it, and then you're promptly colonized 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:52.520 and taken over by Japan and slaughtered. A million dead 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.560 is just it's an incomprehensible number. We're talking starved to death, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.360 and you can imagine the other things the Japanese would 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.640 do the Vietnamese people. I'm not gonna elaborate on that, 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:07.439 but it was bad. The war finally ends, and remember, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.800 this is such an odd time. I should do just 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.280 a show just on this time. When World War two ended, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.240 Germany's defeated, Frances Japan's defeated. And now you have the 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.240 Soviet Union in France, well kind of France, but France 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.040 wasn't in but I guess they're back in. You remember 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.560 France lost, they weren't even in existence. And then you 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.080 have Britain in America and all these countries they get 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.680 together and they have to kind of put Humpty Dumpty 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.960 back together again. And a lot of people criticized a 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.200 lot of the moves that were made post World War Two, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.680 and I do too. That's totally fair, But in their defense, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.160 it's not like anyone had ever had to do that 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.600 before the entire world was just in a fight. Now 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.280 some countries don't even exist anymore. There are tens of 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.760 millions of people dead, in human amounts of poverty and 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.800 suffering and starvation. What do we do? So not every 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.760 move that was made during that time was the right 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.640 move or a great move. You're certainly not going to 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.080 if you're one of the major powers and you're trying 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.360 to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. You're not going 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.520 to turn around and say, hey, Vietnam, you know what, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.640 We're going to dedicate like a week to just you. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.960 I want to hear about you. No, they just said, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:30.040 all right, France, that's yours again, go take care of it. Well, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.160 that sounds great on paper, or it looks great on paper. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.240 That sounds great, and you're meeting with French as you 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.280 eat croissants or whatever they eat over there. But there 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.640 are still people in Vietnam, Vietnamese people who were all, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.080 excuse me, excuse me, we were just pillaged by France 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.119 and then just completely virtually wiped out by the Japanese, 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.280 and now you're just handering it, handing it right back 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.200 to the French. This does not go well in a 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.640 man by the name of Ho Chi Minh, Right, you 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.920 would actually like Ho Chi Minh if he wasn't a dirty, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.720 filthy communist, sadly he was. But if he wasn't, you 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:14.120 wouldn't like him because he is the upstart, rebel, complete 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:19.680 patriot who decides he wants everybody, France, Japan, America, everyone 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.040 the heck out of his country. And he thinks they 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.600 should govern themselves. You would root for that guy in 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.320 any movie if he wasn't a dirty communist. But he 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.600 was a dirty communist, so that we can't do anything 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:36.400 about that. They fight a civil war, they fight a 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.480 war against the French. That I mean, really the war 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.440 against the French comes first. They kicked the French out. 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.400 I've already done a show on that, before the Battle 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.520 of the nbn FU. And then after that they have 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.720 something called the nineteen fifty four Geneva Accords. What those 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.560 doo is those split the country into what you would 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:58.960 think of as the Vietnam War era country, North Vietnam 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.640 South Vietnam. And it's pretty much agreed upon. We're in 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.119 the middle of the Cold War, remember, but it's pretty 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.719 much agreed upon. Okay, North Vietnam. That's Ho Chi Min 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.640 in the commies. It's obviously backed heavily and openly by 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:17.720 the Soviet Union in China. South Vietnam, they're backed by 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.639 the United States of America and Britain and France, I 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.119 should say, but we carried most of the load on that. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:29.480 But this is where we run into a big, big problem. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.639 Not only did the Soviet Union in China focus heavily 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.159 on North Vietnam, giving them money and resources, infrastructure, and 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.800 trying to make a good little communist paradise there. But 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:45.040 the North Vietnamese were simply more organized, more committed, and 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:52.479 frankly less corrupt. South Vietnam was always the problem with 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.240 the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, as you know it, they 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.480 for whatever reason, people argue a thousand reason and over it, 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.679 weren't ready for capitalism, weren't ready to be free. Whatever 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:10.240 the case. Maybe they were just terribly corrupt, and we 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.159 were sometimes backing coups against the government we had just 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.680 put in to get rid of the current corrupt guy. 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:22.639 It was a disaster. We start pouring money into South 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:28.000 Vietnam because we are desperate to have the South withstand 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:33.600 the North. This is under Eisenhower, and we're propping up 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.960 an absolute mess. We're don't talk about throwing good money 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.760 after bad. We're propping a mess. They're just not able 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:44.639 to do it. We start sending advisors in there and 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.360 special forces groups in there. Remember we had Green Berets 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.760 in Vietnam a long time before there was a Vietnam. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.000 And what are they doing there? They're bouncing around the country, 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:01.800 trying to stabilize and prepare the various villages and tribes 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.600 that are still litter the South Vietnamese countryside. They're going 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.960 into a place and it look it's standard hearts and 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.480 mind stuff that you can imagine. Hey, everybody guid around. 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.800 This is an AK forty seven. This is how you 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.200 use one. It points that way. Here's how you aim 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.080 down the sites. And they're they're helping too, you know, 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.520 like I said, it's hearts and minds. It's not just military. 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.639 It's oh, here's a shot. Let me let me make 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.560 sure we give you some vaccination, some medication. Maybe a 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.680 bad day to bring up the vaccination, Chris, but let 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.359 me make sure we give you this. I mean, make 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.199 sure we drew you a water. Well, let's show you 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.479 a better way to do this. Help it making friends 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.680 than nineteen sixty five rolls along. I'm not going to 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.480 go into the Gulf of Tonkin all that stuff. But 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.720 eventually I can't say we declare war in Vietnam. Eventually 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:57.120 there's a resolution allowing Lyndon Johnson to go to war 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:02.400 in Vietnam. It's it's really not constitutional at all. I mean, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.800 we haven't constitutionally declared war since World War Two. Consider 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.000 that not Korea, not Vietnam, and not Afghanistan, not anything. 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:10.440 But that's like, I'm not going to go off on 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:15.600 a tangent what Chris, Yes, Chris said, it's a police action. 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.919 Indeed it is. Indeed it is just a brief police action. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.960 This police action ends up with US sending at least 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.960 an initial surge of sixty thousand troops over there. And 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:31.119 what we're doing. First of all, it's called Operation Rolling Thunder. 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:35.760 Don't worry about remember that names. It is a cool name, Chris, Yes, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.000 it is a cool name. Quit all right, don't worry 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.640 about remembering the name. Its means we're bombing them. We're 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.840 aerial bombing them to dust. We're bombing the Ho Chi 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.120 Minh Trail, which we knew about right away, to dust. 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.160 And what was the Ho Chi Minh Trail. It wasn't 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:54.360 a trail, first of all. It was a bunch of trails, 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:59.840 some through Vietnam, some through Cambodia, and it was essentially 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:05.040 the North North Vietnam funneling weapons, money, supplies in people 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:09.159 to the South to back the viet Cong. The South 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.480 Vietnamese guerrillas who were fighting against South Vietnam. They wanted 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.120 it all to collapse. So we're bombing this trail, but 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.520 it just keeps popping back up. They just keep rebuilding it. 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:27.240 And North Vietnam they've had about enough of it. They've 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.879 decided they're going to start getting a little more aggressive. 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.719 We're ever gonna find out how that goes, and then 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:52.920 we'll talk about this vaccine. Hang on, Eden Pure Thunderstorm, 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:57.320 Go get yourself one. You know, I've always had an 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:01.080 air purifier, and I will tell you today in Houston 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:06.119 they're having warnings for people with asthma. That's how bad 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.680 the air quality is. So I always have air purifiers. 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.880 I've never had anything like the Eden Pure Thunderstorm. All 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.320 my old air purifiers, Yeah, there were those gigantic two 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.440 three foot towers that sound like an airplane taking off. 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.080 Not my Eden Pure thunderstorm. It's tiny. It goes in 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.840 my outlet in the wall. It's just this tiny, little, quiet, 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.639 black thing. You never know it's there except my allergies 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.280 don't bother me. I walk from outside inside and I 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.399 can taste how much cleaner the area is in my house. 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:44.040 Go enjoy yours, Go to Eden pure deals dot com. 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.920 That's Eden pure deals dot Com used to promo code 0:22:48.080 --> 0:23:10.879 Jesse for ten dollars off. It is the Jesse Kelly 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:15.080 Show eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.000 three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. We got 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.720 all kinds of good emails. This one says Highness, I 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.800 was horrified when I heard you wore flip flops. No 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.440 normal person wants to see the feet of any man, 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.240 let alone a six foot eight inch wookee marine. That's 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.240 not nice. Lastly, every time I see you on TV, 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:41.240 you never disappoint you On Ingram talking about people getting 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.000 his tree chopped off and the military made my all 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:46.960 made my night. We all know you were referring to 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.240 the Air Force. Love your godlike face in the show. 0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:54.000 But no more flip flops. One thing, pal one thing. 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.240 I will say this. It's not like I wear flip 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:00.960 flops all the time. I have normal tennis shoes on 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.119 right now. I don't wear flip flops all the time. 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.040 I wear cowboy bootslots of the time, lots of time 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:13.000 tennis shoes. But let me stress this, unless you live 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.879 in the tropics like I do. Here in the absolute 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:21.520 swamp of Houston. You don't understand what it's like to 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:28.200 experience putting on flip flops for a weekend versus after 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.159 wearing shoes all week long. Let those feet breathe and 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:38.280 I understand. Look, feet are not pretty. I don't understand 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:41.320 this weird foot fetish thing people have. I find it 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.240 to be very odd. I'm not judging you. I just 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:46.760 find it to be odd, but feed or gross. So 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.919 you walk on them, they're gross and mine are twice 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.840 as gross as those other feet, because, like you said, 0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:56.119 the Marine Corps just wrecked them. And I don't have 0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.119 a single buddy because I was in the infantry. I 0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:00.240 don't have a single buddy in the grunts who isn't 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.479 in the same situation. You just now have callouses in 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:06.640 different places. And they told us they actually made fun 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:08.320 of us when we were in there. Like you think 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.520 you think the human body is made to do what 0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.399 we're doing right now, it's not. It's not. You're wrecking 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:17.040 yourself permanently. They thought it was funny, and frankly, it 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.280 is kind of funny. But yeah, I'm wearing them anyway. 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:25.800 I don't care. Back to my story, we start bombing 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.800 the living heck out of North Vietnam. After the Gulf 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.520 of Tonkin incident. It's called Rolling Thunder. We're bombing the 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.240 Ho Chi Minh trail, bombing everything, and I should I 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:38.720 should say this by now up to this point in time, Yes, 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:43.760 we have troops in South Vietnam, advisors there, we're bombing 0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:49.000 North Vietnam. We're doing all these things. But North Vietnam 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:54.000 for the most part, is avoiding confrontation with American troops 0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:57.280 because they're not sure quite yet, and neither are we 0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:00.960 how much this conflict is going to esk late. Let's 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.240 just keep attacking South Vietnam. We'll keep it, keep attacking 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.240 these South Vietnamese guys. Or these guys just don't don't 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:14.320 touch the Americans really yet. Wow, the MBA decides, the 0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:17.600 MBA being the North Vietnamese army. That's the regular army, 0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.720 not the men in the black pajamas, not the Vietnam 0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:24.000 that's the regular army. A general up there start starts 0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.600 whispering in the ear of all the leadership and saying 0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:28.919 to them, look, I understand. We had to fight this 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.640 guerrilla war against France. We had to fight this guerrilla 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:35.960 war against against Japan, but we can fight some regular 0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:40.000 battles too. Let me go down there. We know we're 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.120 going to be in a fight with the Americans. Let 0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.320 me go down there, take a bunch of troops down 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.480 there and see what these Americans are made of. We 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.920 don't know till we fight them. Let's go fight him, 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:55.240 all right. He talks them into it. They agree. He 0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:59.560 goes stomping down into South Vietnam and kind of the 0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:03.000 central part of South Vietnam. And what he does is 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:06.640 he attacks a special Forces base, a special Forces base. 0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:08.879 I know what you're thinking. The second I say special 0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:12.720
