Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Monday. It
Speaker 1: is a Medal of Honor Monday. Of course, it's a
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday. And we have so much to
Speaker 1: get to tonight. We're running out of cops in the country.
Speaker 1: The illegals are fighting the sex offenders. Iran's president is dead.
Speaker 1: America feels bad about it. Apparently misgendering people in the
Speaker 1: workplace is considered harassment. And why we're not doing enough
Speaker 1: about the old tranny thing, all that amnesty emails. So
Speaker 1: much more coming up on the world famous Jesse Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. We have a veteran joining us about thirty
Speaker 1: minutes from now, just going to talk about service and sacrifice.
Speaker 1: It feels like one of those kind of nights. Let's
Speaker 1: begin here on the big news of the day. Not
Speaker 1: that I think you woke up stressing out about it
Speaker 1: at all. It was actually yesterday when we were all
Speaker 1: following along with this. Iran's president is dead. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's go over a couple things. Don't celebrate Chris, that's
Speaker 1: all right, celebrate a little that's fine. Now, he was
Speaker 1: a terrible person. First, let's clarify just a couple basics.
Speaker 1: And I'm not the worlds Iranian expert. Although I speak European,
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on the region. I just know
Speaker 1: a little bit about a little bit. Okay. First, Iran
Speaker 1: has a president, well had anyway, I have a president,
Speaker 1: and they have a supreme leader. As you may have imagined,
Speaker 1: the supreme leader is the one with the most power. President, however,
Speaker 1: is significant. All right, So their president he was leaving from, well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where he was going. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: He crashed in the mountains. Apparently it was cold. There
Speaker 1: were all kinds of rumors that the wolves were already
Speaker 1: eating him. By the way, in here you are a
Speaker 1: detailed person. Azerbaijan is where he was leaving. He was
Speaker 1: leaving Azerbaijan, big Muslim country, good relationships with Iran, and
Speaker 1: he was going back to Iran. Anyway, he's leaving. Helicopter crashes,
Speaker 1: he's gone. Whatever What does it mean for you? Okay,
Speaker 1: for first, I don't think it means anything for you.
Speaker 1: We'll get to America's response. That's what actually matters. I
Speaker 1: don't think it means much to you or me. He
Speaker 1: was a president. He was widely known as a butcher.
Speaker 1: Everyone called him a butcher. You can find videos out
Speaker 1: there now of a bunch of Iranian people cooking off
Speaker 1: fireworks because their president died. This is the kind of
Speaker 1: guy who would routinely he'd go round up dissidence, hang
Speaker 1: them all from the flagpoles, let him hang there, that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, your standard Middle East dictator type. That's
Speaker 1: this guy. So no one's gonna shed any tears for him.
Speaker 1: The condition of the people in Iran didn't get any better, though,
Speaker 1: because in a system like that. Member, We've had this
Speaker 1: talk many times before about our own system. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll have this talk tonight. Systems are much more powerful
Speaker 1: than men. Systems are much more important than men, much
Speaker 1: much much more important than an individual men individual man,
Speaker 1: Men come, men go, men rise and fall, men die.
Speaker 1: But if a good system will continue to produce good results,
Speaker 1: the Iranian system is garbage. It destroys the people there.
Speaker 1: Some of the most heartbreaking video to me you can
Speaker 1: find is before America got involved and screwed up their
Speaker 1: entire government back in the seventies Iran. You go look
Speaker 1: at old video. There's a who bunch of video of it,
Speaker 1: old video, old pictures of it. It looks wonderful. Honestly.
Speaker 1: You go big cities in Iran, you go look at
Speaker 1: a spring day, a summer day, how people are talking, interacting,
Speaker 1: how people are dressed there. It could easily easily be
Speaker 1: New York City in April, well before it turned to
Speaker 1: heroin and marijuana. They could have turned. It could easily
Speaker 1: have been that. And then America did what we do best.
Speaker 1: We stick our noses in someone else's foreign policy, caused
Speaker 1: the downfall of their government, cause civil unrest. Oh fast
Speaker 1: forward about five minutes, and now it's some horrific Islamic
Speaker 1: regime where they beat women to death of therapy jobs
Speaker 1: fall off the top of their head. It's freaking off right.
Speaker 1: What does it mean for us? Nothing? They're just going
Speaker 1: to replace him with another guy. So let's set that
Speaker 1: aside and talk about what it actually does mean for us, you, me, everyone.
Speaker 1: I should note that, in case anyone's wondering, before I
Speaker 1: move off of the assassination story up, did I say
Speaker 1: that Israel's not claiming any responsibility for this. Iran is
Speaker 1: actually not blaming the Jews either, And that I will
Speaker 1: tell you. This is not something I have inside knowledge on.
Speaker 1: This is just me that basically confirmed to me. It
Speaker 1: was the Israelis who did it. Allow me to explain.
Speaker 1: Allow me to explain. Let's go through just a little
Speaker 1: bit of history here. How Israel conducts itself forign policy wise,
Speaker 1: how it always has has been, you kill first. There's
Speaker 1: none of this, well, you never hit first. There's none
Speaker 1: of that. In fact, if you want to read a
Speaker 1: fascinating book, it's very long and it's honestly it got
Speaker 1: too boring for me. But it's called rise and kill first.
Speaker 1: Rise and kill first. It's on Israel on their foreign policy.
Speaker 1: Israel will send a hit team to murder you and
Speaker 1: your beach house without a second thought. Now Irang's foreign policy,
Speaker 1: as often happens countries like that, is Blame Israel. Blame Israel.
Speaker 1: Blame Israel. When you have a regime that is unpopular
Speaker 1: with the people, it's tyrannical. Regimes are almost always unpopular
Speaker 1: with the people for obvious reasons. They always find a scapegoat.
Speaker 1: You'll notice this throughout history. Pick your tyrannical regime. For Stalin,
Speaker 1: it was the Poles, Believe it or not, It's wild
Speaker 1: when you go back and read it all the old writings.
Speaker 1: He was always blaming the Poles. It's polls, Polish and filtration,
Speaker 1: probably the polls. It was definitely the Polesy. You have
Speaker 1: to find someone in Iran no matter what goes wrong,
Speaker 1: there was a Jews. There's a Jews. It was Israeli's
Speaker 1: it was a Jews. The Jews did it. The Jews
Speaker 1: did it. It's an easy scapegoat for them, so they
Speaker 1: normally blame them, and they don't blame them for things
Speaker 1: that they didn't have anything to do with. And we
Speaker 1: know that retroactively now Iran will commonly blame the Jews
Speaker 1: for things that Israel didn't even do. So why do
Speaker 1: I think Israel killed the president one? Because Israel was
Speaker 1: always going to respond in a very severe way, and
Speaker 1: they were always going to attack Iranian leadership for that
Speaker 1: Hamas thing. You didn't think they were going to just
Speaker 1: let that go right, Fire a couple missiles and let
Speaker 1: that go. There was always going to be significant blood
Speaker 1: on the ground. That's one part of Israel's foreign policy
Speaker 1: that I love a lot. Israel lets it be known
Speaker 1: and they follow through with it. We remember and we
Speaker 1: will kill you if you attack us, and not just
Speaker 1: the guys on the ground. We will hunt down the
Speaker 1: people who planned and coordinated it, no matter their rank,
Speaker 1: and we will murder you. And so you know the
Speaker 1: reason I love that is not because I love people
Speaker 1: being murdered. I love the kind of foreign policy that
Speaker 1: tells a general, a president, or anybody you want to
Speaker 1: sit down and have this meeting about attacking us, fine,
Speaker 1: but understand you may wake up one night to a
Speaker 1: gun being pointed in your face and that's it. That's
Speaker 1: the last thing you see. You have to know that
Speaker 1: it may end your life. Okay, Well, but the Jews,
Speaker 1: the Israelis denied doing it, and Iran said Israel didn't
Speaker 1: do it. So why do I think they did it?
Speaker 1: Do you remember what happened recently between Iran and Israel.
Speaker 1: Iran was getting all this pressure from the Islamic world,
Speaker 1: from the more radical Islamic world, has will Lah, all
Speaker 1: these types. Because they've billed themselves as being the anti
Speaker 1: Israel company country. They've been getting all this pressure. Hey
Speaker 1: do something, do something. Hamas is under attack. You got
Speaker 1: to do something, Hey, guys, do something. I remember we
Speaker 1: were I think we were on the air that night.
Speaker 1: If not, it happened right after we were off the air.
Speaker 1: We woke up and Iran was launching all these missiles,
Speaker 1: crazy amounts of missiles at Israel, and we're all looking
Speaker 1: around thinking, oh my gosh, is it World War III?
Speaker 1: But none of them really hurt anybody. None of them landed.
Speaker 1: And then Iran woke up the next day and said,
Speaker 1: say take that, Jews, well let.
Speaker 2: This be it.
Speaker 1: Don't do anything back, and we won't do anything back.
Speaker 1: We're good here, right. So was Iran basically acting like
Speaker 1: they did something when they knew they weren't going to.
Speaker 1: And then Israel shot a couple of missiles back, blew
Speaker 1: up a couple of satellites. But it was Iran's reaction
Speaker 1: after that response that told you everything you needed to know.
Speaker 1: Iran launched the missiles, they didn't hurt anyone, I mean
Speaker 1: hardly in israeli was killed. I think one worker or
Speaker 1: child got blown up, and it was hardly anything. And
Speaker 1: Iran came out and said, okay, we're good now, right,
Speaker 1: We're good. I'm good, you're good. Well, what was Iran doing?
Speaker 1: They were showing that they were afraid, they didn't want anything.
Speaker 1: They didn't want things to escalate further. If Iran came
Speaker 1: out today and said, hey, Israel just killed our president,
Speaker 1: well that comes with obligations, doesn't it. If you're Iran,
Speaker 1: it's not just your own people. If you're Iran, you
Speaker 1: cannot look at the radical Muslim world, where you kind
Speaker 1: of are the big cheese. You cannot go to them
Speaker 1: today and say, those Jewish dogs killed our president and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do anything about it. You can't do that.
Speaker 1: So the only way you can avoid having to do
Speaker 1: that is get up first thing the next morning and say,
Speaker 1: Israel had nothing to do with this. You wouldn't even
Speaker 1: know that yet they put out that statement without even
Speaker 1: knowing it. That told me everything I need to know. Chris.
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent blaming you people. I think it's
Speaker 1: hilarious what I've done, lumping you in with every what
Speaker 1: because it's fine anyway. That's enough for that. Forget about that,
Speaker 1: forget about Iran. Who cares about that stupid country anyway.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about ours and what we're doing in our response,
Speaker 1: pretty revealing response. We'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, let's get to you and
Speaker 1: your Chalk. Your tea levels, gentlemen, tea levels. In fact,
Speaker 1: forget about just guys, women, everybody, forget about just tea levels.
Speaker 1: We all have things in our lives we'd like improvement on,
Speaker 1: do we not? And we've been conditioned in this country
Speaker 1: to reach for the pill bottle. America is the most
Speaker 1: pill loving country on the planet. Pharmaceutical this pharmaceutical that.
Speaker 1: It's not that we never need those, but man, do
Speaker 1: we need to try natural first? Natural first? Whatever you're
Speaker 1: looking to improve improve upon, whatever it is. If it's
Speaker 1: just your energy, basic move whatever, go check out natural
Speaker 1: herbal supplements from the anti communists at Chalk. They have
Speaker 1: the best, the best service. They have the best prices,
Speaker 1: huge discounts on subscriptions, and they don't make it a
Speaker 1: pain when you want to cancel. If you ever want
Speaker 1: to cancel, just call email. They'll get you out. It's
Speaker 1: no problem. C hoq dot com promo code Jesse Chuck
Speaker 1: dot com promo code Jesse. We'll be back. The Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show I Like It returns next. It is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly's shoh on a Monday, of course, it's Medal
Speaker 1: of Honor Monday and I don't know. It's just it's
Speaker 1: maybe the most Medal of Honor Monday, of any medal
Speaker 1: of honor Mondays we've ever done. How medal of Honor Monday?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 1: About? Ten minutes from now? You're gonna hear from a
Speaker 1: genuine American hero A Medal of Honor recipient is about
Speaker 1: to join us on the show in about ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I may even do his Medal of Honor citation after
Speaker 1: we join us, joins us, And that's not even gonna
Speaker 1: count for Medal of Honor Monday, which comes at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour or bottom of the hour? Is it, Chris?
Speaker 1: Is at the top? It's the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. I'm learning this radio lingo, Chris,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty quick on the uptick. Let me just tell
Speaker 1: you what buddy. Anyway, Oh, that's here. You can email
Speaker 1: us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. And we have
Speaker 1: to discuss this really quickly, and then we'll move on
Speaker 1: to police forces being at the lowest levels since nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety and everything else. So the President of Iron dies today,
Speaker 1: whatever who cares, Apartment of the State express their official condolences.
Speaker 1: We basically told Iran that we were sorry that the
Speaker 1: president of Iran, who I mean, mister, death to America,
Speaker 1: death to America, every other word, Butcher's his own citizens.
Speaker 1: We issued condolences to Iran. Now set Iran aside. Why
Speaker 1: does this keep happening with the modern American left? Why
Speaker 1: is it? Obama was famous for it? Biden takes over
Speaker 1: the same thing. When I say this, I mean countries
Speaker 1: who hate us, they absolutely fall in love with them.
Speaker 1: They fall in love with them. Remember that story. Remember Venezuela. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know what Venezuela is. You know how much they
Speaker 1: dislike us. They're a socialist dictatorship. We have all these
Speaker 1: supposed intentions right yet, right now we are taking the
Speaker 1: people Venezuela doesn't want in their country and we're flying
Speaker 1: them into America. Why would we do that? Why would
Speaker 1: we help out our enemy in that way? Iran's murderous
Speaker 1: piece of trash president dies immediately reaching out, We are
Speaker 1: so sorry, h are condolence sma Rave. Where'd you go?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Why? Okay, well pause on that for a moment. I
Speaker 1: want you to listen to this. This is just a
Speaker 1: dude on the beach. Courtesy Libs of Tiktoks where I
Speaker 1: got the video, but he posted the video up of himself.
Speaker 1: He's on the beach and while he's enjoying his day
Speaker 1: at the beach, he sees some things there the great
Speaker 1: on him quite a bit. He can't stand it. Listen,
Speaker 1: listen to what this guy had to endure at the beach.
Speaker 4: Here enjoying a nice stay at the beach with my kids,
Speaker 4: and I turned around. I got these flags planing it
Speaker 4: here on the beach by these maga.
Speaker 1: Listen, this is all America.
Speaker 4: We know he didn't storm the beaches to steak at you.
Speaker 1: I want to clarify this as a video. And the
Speaker 1: flags he's talking about their American flags, just red, white
Speaker 1: and blue stars and stripes. I'll start it again with
Speaker 1: that in mind. This is now upset he is. I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to be at the beach and there seats flags.
Speaker 4: I'm here enjoying a nice stay at the beach with
Speaker 4: my kids, and I turned around.
Speaker 1: I get these flags.
Speaker 4: Planet here on the beach by these mother Listen.
Speaker 1: This is all America.
Speaker 4: We know you didn't storm the beaches to steak at
Speaker 4: your territory on the beach.
Speaker 1: This isn't the Moon. I get it this. He goes
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Now, why would why would
Speaker 1: the American flag upset him? Have you figured out the connection?
Speaker 1: Why does the modern American democrat as soon as they
Speaker 1: get the office of the presidency, they immediately start bending
Speaker 1: over backwards for Iran, Venezuela, China, so on and so forth.
Speaker 1: And this guy takes his kids to the beach, sees
Speaker 1: a couple of American flags planted in the beach, and
Speaker 1: he's just beside himself with rage. His day's basically ruined. Why, well,
Speaker 1: you know why, you've already made the connection. You know why,
Speaker 1: Look America, America when it's run by democrats, cozy's up
Speaker 1: to Iran because democrats in Iran, No, they don't always
Speaker 1: get along. They have all kinds of differences there, but
Speaker 1: they do have one thing they really really have in common,
Speaker 1: don't they. They both kind of think America sucks. It's
Speaker 1: they've found common enemy. Do you think it's an accident?
Speaker 1: We talked about this before. I just talked about it
Speaker 1: last week. Last week. The proof is in the pudding.
Speaker 1: You know how we talked about the Three Musketeers candy
Speaker 1: bar being the worst candy bar And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what your argument is or what my argument is, because
Speaker 1: anytime there's an assorted pack that's in a bowl on
Speaker 1: the secretary's desk, what's the last thing left in that
Speaker 1: assortment pack? The Three Musketeers. So your opinion or my
Speaker 1: opinion doesn't matter. The proof's in the pudding. Well why
Speaker 1: don't Democrats fly American flags from their homes? Why do
Speaker 1: Democrats believe American flags are political? When I used to
Speaker 1: watch football and they started putting all their filthy communist
Speaker 1: crap into football, and I started complaining, I would regularly
Speaker 1: have Democrats say to me, oh, well, you weren't complaining
Speaker 1: when it was when they had the military there. Hold on,
Speaker 1: why is the military political to you? If you figured
Speaker 1: it out? American Democrats and Iran cheery common bond. That
Speaker 1: common Bond is their common enemy, and that's why they
Speaker 1: cozy up to them so much. All Right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to an American hero, Clint Romshaw, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the state of crime in this country,
Speaker 1: and I will get to all these Biden comments from today.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to all that, I promise. Do you
Speaker 1: know what do you know what the second most popular
Speaker 1: thing to use currency wise on the globe is most popular?
Speaker 1: Is still the dollar? You know what's now number two?
Speaker 1: Talk to an economist today. Gold. It's not just nations
Speaker 1: like China Russia hoovering up gold. Huge financial institutions. They're
Speaker 1: gobbling up all the gold they can get their hands on.
Speaker 1: The people who know know again, just like the three
Speaker 1: musketeers in reverse, the proof is in the pudding. What
Speaker 1: are all the people who know? They're all buying gold
Speaker 1: right now? Why do you think that is? They know?
Speaker 1: They understand? Start buying gold for yourself, just basics. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go nuts. Don't go nuts, don't put
Speaker 1: yourself in a bind. Start buying some gold or silver
Speaker 1: coins for yourself and making preparations the same way. China
Speaker 1: is the same way. Merrill Lynch is eight three three
Speaker 1: nine gold. Oxford Gold Group will take care of it
Speaker 1: for you. Get a hold of them, all right, all right?
Speaker 1: An American hero. Next, feeling a little stocky, follow like
Speaker 1: and subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly's show. It is
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, and of course,
Speaker 1: as every Monday is, it is a medal of Honor Monday,
Speaker 1: and it is a special treat for us to welcome
Speaker 1: in Clint Romasha, United States Army veteran, probably more importantly
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor recipient, and obviously somebody who works with
Speaker 1: Pure Talk, who we know and love in America's Warrior Partnership.
Speaker 1: Clint first, America's Warrior Partnership. What do they do explain
Speaker 1: it to people?
Speaker 2: Oh, hey, thanks for having me back on the show. AWP,
Speaker 2: American Warrior Partnership. Been teamed up with them for a while.
Speaker 2: We're partnering with communities to help prevent and end veteran
Speaker 2: suicide is our main mission.
Speaker 1: Clint. I spoke actually pretty extensively on Friday about veterans
Speaker 1: suicide and veteran depression and why so many of us
Speaker 1: decide to take the ultimate step which we should not take,
Speaker 1: and just end it all. And I tried to explain
Speaker 1: to the guys and ladies that they think their combat
Speaker 1: service is the last great thing they'll ever do. And
Speaker 1: they get back and now you're not celebrated anymore. You're
Speaker 1: not corpor or lieutenant that you're you know, garbage man. This,
Speaker 1: you're a construction worker. You're a guy in a cubicle
Speaker 1: and you feel like you've finished the greatest part of
Speaker 1: your life. And it's wild how often I hear that
Speaker 1: story from my veteran buddies who are struggling.
Speaker 2: You know that that reminds me so One of the
Speaker 2: original founders of American Warrior Partnership was another Great Medal
Speaker 2: of Honor recipient, Leo Thortness, and I got to know
Speaker 2: him before his passing, and he talked about his time
Speaker 2: at the Hanoi Hilton and the guys that ended up,
Speaker 2: you know, surviving that time there, and it was it
Speaker 2: was always those guys that would just learn how to
Speaker 2: get through the moment, just get through the next thirty
Speaker 2: seconds of torture, but then to have a follow on
Speaker 2: plan what they were going to do when they got
Speaker 2: back home. And it was the guys that sit there
Speaker 2: and it's like, I'll make it to Christmas. I'll make
Speaker 2: it to Christmas. We'll be home by Christmas. And he said,
Speaker 2: those guys never never made it out of there. And
Speaker 2: I think we kind of got to look as veterans,
Speaker 2: you know, we got to handle each moment as it comes,
Speaker 2: but we ultimately have to have that follow on role.
Speaker 2: And when you take that uniform. AHAF kind of lose
Speaker 2: side of that follow on goal, what's next? And every
Speaker 2: veteran is unique in their own complex story. It's not
Speaker 2: just you know, a mental health thing. It's not one
Speaker 2: magic you know, wave a one magic wand that's going
Speaker 2: to solve this the suicide crisis. It's ensuring our veterans
Speaker 2: are or are remembered or taken care of, have access
Speaker 2: to you know, good quality healthcare, have access to meaningful employment,
Speaker 2: not just giving them a job, just to give them
Speaker 2: a job, because that sounds good, that's a great sound bite,
Speaker 2: but actual meaningful employment, you know, access to their benefits,
Speaker 2: helping advocate for their benefits because we know as veterans,
Speaker 2: we are some of the worst people to advocate on
Speaker 2: our behalf. Will bend over backwards for anybody else, but
Speaker 2: when it comes to kind of saying I need help
Speaker 2: or I'm struggling, you know, you always had that sense
Speaker 2: of pride in the military where you didn't want to
Speaker 2: be that guy. You didn't want to be the kind
Speaker 2: of the weak links. So you just kind of suffered
Speaker 2: on your own. But that's the other thing is you
Speaker 2: look back to your military service and you never did
Speaker 2: anything alone. We never do it alone. We always have
Speaker 2: a battle, buddy. And that's what America, where your Partnership,
Speaker 2: has been on the forefront on discovering that the veterans
Speaker 2: in Florida that are taking their lives don't look the
Speaker 2: same as the veterans maybe in New York, and every
Speaker 2: community is different and every community can get involved. And
Speaker 2: that's where we like to do is just network, collaborate,
Speaker 2: communicate veterans in their local community getting the access to
Speaker 2: that any of the help they need, whether it's transportation,
Speaker 2: whether it's education, whether it's employment, whether it's relationship. And
Speaker 2: if we can't find it in your community, we could
Speaker 2: push it up to a more national level.
Speaker 1: Speaking with Clint Romashaw, American Hero Medal of Honor recipient,
Speaker 1: one of the things I do love, Clint about what
Speaker 1: Pure Talk in America's Warrior Partnership are doing is what
Speaker 1: you just brought up is community. It is. It's wild
Speaker 1: to me how how many veterans feel alone. I hear
Speaker 1: this so much. I know you probably hear this. No
Speaker 1: one understands I'm alone. We are such a community. There
Speaker 1: are so many of us and so many guys who
Speaker 1: do understand there's something about us, and I've been there too. Honestly,
Speaker 1: when I just got back from my rack, I was
Speaker 1: the same way. I didn't feel like anyone knew. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like anyone cared. Just sat in the dark,
Speaker 1: drinking beer, just destroying myself. And why does it feel
Speaker 1: so lonely?
Speaker 2: You know that's I mean, you're all a sudden unplugged
Speaker 2: from your community. I know for me, when I got out,
Speaker 2: you know, I came up to North Dakota to work
Speaker 2: oil fields, and I was so far removed from really
Speaker 2: any of the veteran buddies i'd served with, just just
Speaker 2: in geographical distance. The one thing that helped for me
Speaker 2: is I had a seventy six mile drive into work
Speaker 2: every morning and a seventy six mile drive home, so
Speaker 2: that gave me time to get on the horn and
Speaker 2: call them. And I'd talked to an old battle buddy
Speaker 2: almost every day just to have that communication to get
Speaker 2: back and forth. And now that as we fast forward,
Speaker 2: you know, we've got a platoon text that sometimes if
Speaker 2: I don't check it, there'll be two hundred messages on there,
Speaker 2: and we're mainly talking craft to each other because that's
Speaker 2: what veterans like to do. But we notice on that
Speaker 2: that when we're not hearing from one or two of
Speaker 2: the guys, then we reach out individually, Hey, what's going on,
Speaker 2: And a lot of times it's pretty simple stuff. But
Speaker 2: the reoccurring team though, is I didn't want to bug you.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I should have bugged you with this.
Speaker 2: I was just going to try to figure it out
Speaker 2: on my own. And it's like, no, we got to
Speaker 2: continue to reach out. And that's what part of what
Speaker 2: we're doing with America Warrior Partnership and our Operation Deep
Speaker 2: Dive is really as we did in the military. We
Speaker 2: used to have those targeting packets. Let's quit fishing for
Speaker 2: these veterans that might be in high risk and just
Speaker 2: throwing a bait out there and say, hey, come snag
Speaker 2: this bait and let's try to reel you in. Let's
Speaker 2: build targeting packets to go hunt them down and find
Speaker 2: them and to look at, like I said, the veteran
Speaker 2: that's taking their life in Florida doesn't look like the
Speaker 2: veteran that's taking your life in North Dakota or California
Speaker 2: or Nevada. And we can work together with the VA
Speaker 2: to sit there and build these packets and say, hey,
Speaker 2: guys and girls from this service to this service and
Speaker 2: this location or a higher risk for these set indicators.
Speaker 1: I'd love I just I'd love that you're doing that.
Speaker 1: And I love that it's getting much more specific, because
Speaker 1: so much of caring for these guys, these mended women
Speaker 1: when they come back, so much of it is understandably
Speaker 1: kind of a catch all thing. Well, well we'll just
Speaker 1: do this program or just do this or that. But
Speaker 1: everyone has their own story and it's all different, and
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason they feel alone, isn't.
Speaker 2: It, you know? And that's that's the issue that kind
Speaker 2: of happens with the VA sometimes is they want to make,
Speaker 2: you know, another program for for suicide prevention, and if
Speaker 2: we base it on the outcomes and have that as
Speaker 2: the number one priority and we're doing everything else right
Speaker 2: and increasing that quality of life and that hope that
Speaker 2: will by default help in the veteran suicide issue.
Speaker 1: Uh Clinton, can you tell everybody? Obviously everyone knows your
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor story. In fact, I think we'll probably
Speaker 1: read your citation again today. Is it is Medal of
Speaker 1: Honor Monday? After all, I'm not going to do that
Speaker 1: in front of you, to embarrass you, because I know
Speaker 1: that that's exactly what that would do. But why'd you
Speaker 1: do all that stuff? That was pretty dangerous? You could
Speaker 1: have just you know, hit out. Why'd you do all that?
Speaker 2: You know? It's that sense of I know when I
Speaker 2: signed up, that's doing your job, you know. And as
Speaker 2: crazy and it's kind of nonchalant as that sounds, that's
Speaker 2: really what it was. It was, Okay, this is what
Speaker 2: we signed up to do. This is I'm finally getting
Speaker 2: to do my job. The sense of man, I got
Speaker 2: fifty other Americans to my left and right right now
Speaker 2: doing their jobs, and I got two Affians doing their jobs.
Speaker 2: I don't want to let them down. So let's do
Speaker 2: it together, you know. And it's incredible how how much
Speaker 2: you can accomplish doing it together. I might have got
Speaker 2: selected to wear that'll work, but that's not mihind I.
Speaker 2: It's for all of those guys I serve with that day,
Speaker 2: and all the men and women that are still serving
Speaker 2: this country, and the men and women that'll unfortunately be
Speaker 2: asked to do it in the future. But that's why
Speaker 2: we've got to, you know, look at these issues we're
Speaker 2: having with veterans and address them and take care of them.
Speaker 2: I also, we're not going to have another generation. He's
Speaker 2: going to want to step up and do it when
Speaker 2: we kind of ignore the issues or kick the can
Speaker 2: down the road.
Speaker 1: No, that's a fact, Quinn. What do you want people
Speaker 1: to know? Where do you want people to go?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: What can they do to support you?
Speaker 2: So I had the blessing to be with peer talk,
Speaker 2: And in fact, I think the last time we talked
Speaker 2: was back in November. Peer talk we did an initiative
Speaker 2: back then where we ended up raising ten million dollars
Speaker 2: for debt forgiveness for veterans and it was such a
Speaker 2: great support for everybody that contributed by just doing a
Speaker 2: round up at checkout. Now we're kicking off another program
Speaker 2: with peer talk where new members, new customers coming in
Speaker 2: can choose to actually put in a set dollar amount.
Speaker 2: They can do a round up to the nearest dollar,
Speaker 2: or they can do one dollar a month, five dollars
Speaker 2: a month, you know as a reoccurring basis or one
Speaker 2: time thing. Current customers can opt into the program and
Speaker 2: all of that is going to be matched by puer
Speaker 2: talk to be on behalf of America's Warrior Partnership, so
Speaker 2: we can continue our Operation Deep Dive, continue to get
Speaker 2: out in these communities and build these programs in partnerships
Speaker 2: with local communities to do the outreach for veterans to
Speaker 2: collaborate and organize and continue to help because I I
Speaker 2: just truly believe that service the country comes in so
Speaker 2: many different forms and simple things like this. Because you
Speaker 2: might not have put the uniform on doesn't mean you
Speaker 2: can't serve your country. And it's again a great a
Speaker 2: great company with Peer Talk that wants to keep jobs
Speaker 2: here in America. They're all a customer you know, all
Speaker 2: of their IT and their customers customer support is all
Speaker 2: here in the US. So we got you know, meaningful
Speaker 2: employment for American citizens giving back and it's just an
Speaker 2: incredible experience to be a part of.
Speaker 1: My brother. I appreciate you, as I always do, simplify
Speaker 1: thank you for what you're doing out there. Appreciate it
Speaker 1: very much, Bob, And that is why I partnered with
Speaker 1: Peer Talk like three years ago. Their CEO is a
Speaker 1: Vietnam veteran. This is a passion project for them. I mean,
Speaker 1: what other cell phone company does that is doing that
Speaker 1: right now? Oh don't, don't wrong, they'll be all over
Speaker 1: Pride month. Who else is doing that but pure Talk?
Speaker 1: Take ten minutes on the phone and switch please pound
Speaker 1: two five zero and say, Jesse Kelly, switch to Pure Talk.
Speaker 1: All right, you know what, We're gonna read his Medal
Speaker 1: of Honor citation. Next. It's the Jesse Kelly Show. It
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. We'll get
Speaker 1: to this in a just a second. The NYPD has
Speaker 1: the smallest force since nineteen ninety. I need to do
Speaker 1: a couple things first. First, I need to remind you
Speaker 1: if you miss any part of the show, he can
Speaker 1: download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. Also, since
Speaker 1: we just had him on, figured probably worth reading Clint
Speaker 1: roma Shaw's Medal of Honor citation. And for those wondering, no,
Speaker 1: this does not count as our Medal of Honor Monday citation,
Speaker 1: which we will still do ten minutes from now. See
Speaker 1: you get a two for today. I'm just in that
Speaker 1: kind of a great mood. So without further ado, that
Speaker 1: dude you just heard on the radio, what'd he do
Speaker 1: over there in Afghanistan? Anyway? Hey, honoring those he went
Speaker 1: above and beyond It's Medal of Honor Monday for conspicuous
Speaker 1: gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his
Speaker 1: life above and beyond the call of duty, while serving
Speaker 1: as Section leader with Bravo Troop, third Squadron, sixty first
Speaker 1: Cavalry Regiment, fourth Brigade, Combat Team, fourth Infantry Division, during
Speaker 1: combat operations against an armed enemy at combat Outpost Keating Camdesh, District, Neuristan, Province, Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: on the third of October two thousand and nine. On
Speaker 1: that morning, Staff Sergeant Romashaw and his comrades awakened to
Speaker 1: an attack by an estimated three hundred enemy fighters occupying
Speaker 1: the high ground on all four sides of the complex.
Speaker 1: Employing concentrated from RECOILSS rifles, rocket propel grenades, anti aircraft,
Speaker 1: machine guns, mortars, and small arms fire, Staff Sergeant Romashaw
Speaker 1: moved uncovered under intense enemy fire to conduct a reconnaissance
Speaker 1: of the battlefield and seek reinforcements from the barracks. Before
Speaker 1: returning to action. With the support of an assistant gunner,
Speaker 1: Staff Sergeant Romashaw took out an enemy machine gun team
Speaker 1: and while engaging a second the generator he was using
Speaker 1: for cover was struck, but it was struck by a
Speaker 1: rocket propelled grenade, inflicting him with shrapnel wounds. Undeterred by
Speaker 1: his injuries, Staff Sergeant Romashaw continued to fight in upon
Speaker 1: arrival of another soldier to aid him in the assistant gunner,
Speaker 1: he again rushed through the exposed avenue to assemble additional soldiers.
Speaker 1: Staff Sergeant Romashaw then mobilized a five man team and
Speaker 1: returned to the fight equipped with a stiper rifle. With
Speaker 1: complete disregard for his own safety. Staff Sergeant romasha Yah
Speaker 1: continually exposed himself to heavy enemy fire as he moved
Speaker 1: confidently about the battlefield, engaging and destroying multiple enemy targets,
Speaker 1: including three Taliban fighters who had breached the combat outposts perimeter.
Speaker 1: While orchestrating a successful plan to secure and reinforce key
Speaker 1: points of the battlefield, Staff Sergeant Romashaw maintained radio communication
Speaker 1: with the Tactical Operations Center as the enemy forces attacked
Speaker 1: with even greater ferocity, unleashing a barrage of rocket propelled
Speaker 1: grenades and recoilless rifle rounds. Staff Sergeant Romashaw identified the
Speaker 1: point of the attack and directed air support to destroy
Speaker 1: over thirty enemy fighters. After receiving reports that seriously injured
Speaker 1: soldiers were at a distant battle position, Staff Sergeant Romashaw
Speaker 1: and his team provided covering fire to allow the injured
Speaker 1: soldiers to safely reach the aid reach the aid station.
Speaker 1: Upon reach, upon receipt of orders to proceed to the
Speaker 1: next objective, his team pushed forward one hundred meters under
Speaker 1: overwhelming enemy fire to recover and prevent the enemy fighters
Speaker 1: from taking the bodies of the fallen comrades. Staff Sergeant
Speaker 1: Romashaw's heroic actions throughout the day long battle were critical
Speaker 1: in suppressing an enemy that had far greater numbers. His
Speaker 1: extraordinary efforts gave Bravo Troop the opportunity to regroup, reorganize,
Speaker 1: and prepare for the counterattack that allowed the troop to
Speaker 1: account for its personal and secure combat post keeping personnel.
Speaker 1: Staff Sergeant Romashaw's discipline and extraordinary heroism above and beyond
Speaker 1: the call of duty reflect great credit upon himself. Bravo Troop,
Speaker 1: third Squadron, sixty first Cavalry Regiment, fourth Brigade Combat Team,
Speaker 1: fourth Infantry Division in the United States Army. Not too shabby.
Speaker 1: No I got this email. I just wanted to read
Speaker 1: this before we talk about the NYPD. Real quick. Hey,
Speaker 1: I went shopping tonight in My battery was dead when
Speaker 1: I came out. As I was pawding what to do,
Speaker 1: I saw a due load groceries into a truck which
Speaker 1: had a veteran license plate on it. As a fellow veteran,
Speaker 1: I boldly went up to him and asked for a jump.
Speaker 1: He of course agreed. While my battery was charging, we
Speaker 1: had a nice talk about his service and mind. We
Speaker 1: talked as if we were long lost brothers. I love
Speaker 1: our veterans. Veterans, you were not alone. There's a community
Speaker 1: out there. You just may not have tapped into it yet.
Speaker 1: So tap into it, all right, All right now, I
Speaker 1: just want to I just want to play something for you,
Speaker 1: real quick, Senator Tim Scott. He might be the next
Speaker 1: vice president president. There are rumors that he's towards the
Speaker 1: top of Trump's list. Remember remember when that drug dealer
Speaker 1: died from a drug overdose in Minneapolis, and the communists
Speaker 1: in the country realized that that was an opportunity unity
Speaker 1: to fling open the jails, destroy the police departments of
Speaker 1: the country, make sure murders and rapists get to do
Speaker 1: whatever they want and cause all kinds of social unrest.
Speaker 1: Do you remember what the GOP response to that was
Speaker 1: when those flames were beginning to boil. I remember it
Speaker 1: like it was yesterday. Here is Vice President Tim Scott.
Speaker 3: I have experienced your pain stopped eighteen times in the
Speaker 3: last two decades, in one year, seven times as an
Speaker 3: elected official in this body, trying to get into the chamber,
Speaker 3: into the office buildings on the congressional side. I understand
Speaker 3: some part of what too many have experienced. This police
Speaker 3: reform legislation, the Justice Act provides.
Speaker 1: There stop just the top, Chris, I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 1: The GOP response to the Saint George Floyd riots was
Speaker 1: to roll out Tim Scott to promote the Justice Act.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: And now you have headlines like this, New York City ravaged,
Speaker 1: ravaged by crime. They have the smallest police force since
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. The cops are gone. Who would want to
Speaker 1: be a cop today, at least in a big city
Speaker 1: like this. Why so you can go to prison if
Speaker 1: you do your job, and the GOP helped them along.
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna rip on Biden and do some emails.
Speaker 1: But first we have to do Medal of Honor citations.
Speaker 1: In fact, we have a great one. We're about to
Speaker 1: do one from Vietnam. Before we get to that one,
Speaker 1: let's take care of our dogs. Your dog, my dog.
Speaker 1: You see, rough Greens is here for us. Greens is
Speaker 1: the natural nutritional supplement you pour on your dog's food,
Speaker 1: because your dog does not get nutrition from dog food.
Speaker 1: That's why we're at the vet all the time with
Speaker 1: our dogs. Don't you have to go to the doctor
Speaker 1: a lot when you're not even taking care of your health.
Speaker 1: That's why our dogs die too early. Somebody eats fast
Speaker 1: food every single day for their life. Do you think
Speaker 1: they're gonna die earlier than they would otherwise? Rough Greens
Speaker 1: pour it on your dog's food. Watch your dog come alive. Vitamins, minerals, probiotics,
Speaker 1: everything your dog needs. Go to Roughgreens dot com slash
Speaker 1: Jesse that's where you get a free jumpstart trial bag
Speaker 1: or call them eight three three three three my dog.

Speaker 1: to guess whether or not rough Greens is working. You'll
Speaker 1: know all right. It's Medal of Honor Monday time next
