I already played the mud throwing poop throwing spat that happened today in the house. I don't even know if I'll play it again. It's a dad gone embarrassing, but it is what it is. Let's move on. Let's step away from politics, deal with a couple things. Military matters, veteran suicide. Where's the worst place to fight? This guy says, "Dear Oracle." Regarding your hammock story, if you missed it the other night, I re-told the story I've told before about my hammock exploding in the middle of the jungle and Thailand and whatever. Go download a podcast of the show if you missed it. I Heart, Spotify, iTunes, anyway. Regarding your hammock story, as you have experience of desert warfare from fighting in Iraq, was it less hellish than jungle fighting? What environment do you consider most conducive to warfare? Jungle, desert, temperate plains, forests of Europe, of North America? Warfare is hellish on warriors wherever they fight, but what environment would be the least hellish? My cousin, who also listens to you, wonder what life is like for you up in the 6/8 stratosphere. His name is Michael. Okay, well, first of all, being as hell in 6/8, let me just clue you in on just something, just something. Everyone has different philosophies in life. I'm not saying mine's correct about everything or really anything, I mean, who knows, right? But I never wanted to be boring. I just don't want to be boring, isn't that bad? I don't want to be boring. So let me tell everyone, when you see a really tall person, try the best you can not to ask them how the weather is up there. And if you can make that effort, maybe go one step further and don't ask them if you play basketball, because it's not that you're going to offend me if you've ever said these things to me. It's just you really, really need to understand how painfully unoriginal those two questions are about 90% of the people I get in an elevator with will ask me those two questions on our way up or down wherever we're going. Oh my gosh, how tall are you? Do you play basketball? It just comes out of people. So that part of being 6/8's annoying, it's very, very annoying to have to purchase first class air travel seats. I've never traveled first class in my entire life. Our honeymoon, we got upgraded for free because they found out we were on our honeymoon, it was the greatest moment of my life. And now it's gotten to the point where my right kneel, but whatever, now I basically have to buy them if it's a long flight and it really irks me to spend that kind of money. So that sucks. Other than that, 6/8's being great. Now, the best environment to fight a war. Now, I would argue the desert. And I've been doing a bunch of reading lately on Rommel, that German general Rommel in the fighting, he was fighting the Brits for a long time in Northern Africa before we ever got there. Before Patton and whatnot got there, he was fighting the Brits and the Nazis had pushed him back and then the Brits would push them back and then the Nazis would push him back all this desert warfare training. And you would think the desert would be uniquely horrible and don't get me wrong, it was most definitely horrible. It was hot and miserable and it sucked, but it is fairly open and you can move around and it depends on what kind of army you have obviously. But if you are a mobile army that wants to move and can move, the desert is amazing because you don't have canyons and gollies and all kinds of things like that. Trees, you just don't have that stuff. Chris said sand. Well, when I say desert, I should clarify, I'm not talking about sand dunes and things like that. You generally don't see a ton of fighting in that kind of, you're thinking Sahara from the movies. You're thinking that Sahara Desert from the movie. You generally don't see a lot of fighting there. And yes, that would be a pain. But believe me, that would suck too. The worst from, I shouldn't say the worst because I don't know, I've only fought in one. I only fought in the desert. I did training in other kinds, but have you ever, how much do you know about the fighting that took place around Port Moresby in New Guinea, New Guinea? You know where New Guinea is? It's over by Australia. It's a huge, over by Australia. So I'm not gonna go into that. We're not doing a bunch of history, but you should know that it was a combination of the thickest, most horrific jungle you can imagine. And everything that came with that, the jungle disease, the poisonous animals, honestly hostile tribes that many still exist there to this day, a combination of jungle like that with mountains that are as big as the Rocky Mountains. There are stories about Japanese, rampant stories about Japanese cannibalism during World War II. The environment was so horrific, the men were starving so badly, they started eating each other. Did you know over 200,000 Japanese troops died in New Guinea in World War II, 200,000? It is fighting most people don't even know about. There are stories about men who would, you'd be humping up and down, up through the jungle, but it's straight up and down, where you're on your hands and knees, you're on all fours trying to get to the top of this single jungle path. There are stories of men getting to the top and being so happy they finally made it, they would weep with joy. It sounds like a living hell. And speaking of the Japanese, you know how they were all over the place? They were in India, Java. They were obviously the Philippines. They were all over, all over. For the Japanese and they all, they wrote about it, a lot of them did. The worst place they had in their empire that they were trying to defend and take over by a mile was New Guinea. New Guinea, a combination of jungle warfare with mountain warfare. Oh my gosh. And this, what I'm about to say is gonna make a lot of people, a lot of military types, probably angry. And you're welcome to argue with me about this because this is personal opinion stuff. But I have always found, at least in my own personal dealings, and in my reading, I have found mountain fighters, mountain people to be the toughest. Genuinely, you would think it might be jungle fighters as mountain fighters. Like if you, oh, please forgive me, my fellow Marines, but mountain division, any unit, there are different seal units that specialize in mountain warfare. There are different, depending on which group you're in, it's different special forces units, but the mountain warfare guys, they're always mocked by their veteran buddies because they got the worst assignment 'cause you're just hiking, you're humping up and down. Clues, cliffs, it's cliffs, it's cold, it's whatever. They always get mocked for getting the worst assignment, but everyone kind of knows in the back of their head, those are the toughest dudes. They had, I'm so mad at myself, I can't think of it, I'm doing this on the fly. They referenced this a little bit in the HBO series, Band of Brothers, but the German troops, there were many different, very, very elite German units, speaking of World War II, in World War II, there were many elite German units. And some of the most elite units would walk around with a flower, they had a flower, they want to say, is Edelweiss a flower? I want to say it was an Edelweiss flower, that may be wrong, I'm almost positive, that's what it is though. Either way, you had these super tough troops and they're in these German army uniforms and they would have a flower stuck in their uniform. Well, what was that flower? You, there was some mountain somewhere that you had to crest or you had to get above a certain level as part of your military training. And if you achieved that, you, that was like a mark, a serious mark of admiration. Guys would see that being like, Oh crap, oh crap, this is one of those guys, it got the flower. It was Edelweiss, yeah, it was right, it is Edelweiss. Anyway, mountains, the guys who've been through the mountain trials, the mountain tribulations, there are amazing stories, and I mean, really, really incredible stuff. The fighting in Italy was so much mountain fighting and of course the Italians couldn't defend anything so the Germans had to take it all over. And there are stories because you're fighting on cliffs of guys, they're attaching explosives to string and they're fighting vertically straight up or straight down and they're essentially dropping explosives on strings and swinging them back and forth until they try to swing it into the cave opening and we're talking mountain fighting like that. It's wild, it's crazy, right? Mountain fighting, man. No thanks. And then you combine mountain fighting with jungle fighting? No, I'm too old and fat, I would just die. I would just fall over and die. My back hurts just thinking about it. My back doesn't hurt because I take relief factor but your back probably hurts because you don't. Or maybe you're still trashing your kidneys every time you get pain. Leg pain, back pain. Neck pain, muscle pain. Pains, aches and pains come with life but you don't have to live with it. You don't have to gut it out. You don't have to just grin and bear it. You don't have to have a bad night sleep. You don't have to snap at your wife or your husband. Call relief factor. Natural, drug free and this is how it works. You take it every day. And what happens is as it builds up in your body, your body's natural response to inflammation improves. So the next time your joints want to start bothering you, your body is so fortified with natural things, the pain goes away. Call 1-800-The-Number-4-Relief. 1-800-The-Number-4-Relief or go to relieffactor.com. All right, all right. Somebody has a, speaking of all this warfare stuff, someone has a heart for veterans and what they're going through and suicide and depression and things like that. And let's have a talk about that. Maybe it'll help somebody, maybe it won't. Thanks. It is the Jesse Kelly show on a Friday, churning through everything here on the show. I do have to get to this one before we get to the veteran thing. So someone sends this email and then Shogun Oracle. My wife and I became members of Shadow Mountain Church in case you don't know, that's in San Diego. Below is a link to their podcasts, sorry to ask Michael to do some work, so on and so forth. Whether you are personally making any difference or everyone is slowly waking up, you and the other good people of the world are waking up. And the guy's name is Dr. Jeremiah. I think it's Dr. David Jeremiah. Yeah, Dr. David Jeremiah is this guy's name. So this bastard gets up and I gotta tell ya, they went and pulled, the guys went and pulled the audio 'cause she said, or he sent a link over? I like this dude, I'll tell ya, if I lived in San Diego, I know what church I've been going through. This sounds like a man after my own heart. - A tremendous option we have as parents to make a difference in the lives of our children. And if we're honest, we know that much of that difference is made in those early years. Many of the principles that we live by for all of our lives are ingrained into us when we're very small. So don't ever throw those years away. Don't ever say, I'll wait until they're older. If you do that, you will have waited too long. I'm gonna tell you something that's become very apparent to me. And it might not make some of you happy when I say this, but I really don't care. I'm gonna say it because it's important. If you train up your children for 12 grades and send them to a private or secular school, you will regret it. You will be sorry you ever did it. I don't know one school that has not been taken over by the crazies and the communists and all the rest of the people that are filling the heads with all this junk and causing them to do what we're watching on television. I can't imagine someone you love, you train them for 12 years or 12 grades and then you say, okay, why don't you go to Harvard? Harvard's a good school that used to be not anymore. It's full of people who just wanna destroy your children and that will be the cause that happens. If I didn't wanna embarrass some people I could tell you the stories, there are people in this church who I love who've gone through that process. Enamored with the intelligentsia that's a part of the big schools with the big names, not realizing that when they send their child there, their friend Russian roulette with their soul. There are other schools to go to. There are Christian schools. There are schools where this craziness doesn't happen. I'll tell you what, if my children were at the age and getting ready to go to college, I'd never send them to Harvard or Yale or Penn. I love this guy. Might wanna take those words to heart. You love Aidan, Jaden and Braden and I'm glad you do. Love them enough to not send them to be educated by your mortal enemies. This is not 1960. Colleges are not liberal. I kinda left leaning. They are openly hostile. Many of them, to you, to your babies, to your belief system, to everything. Do you take your kids to the zoo and chuck 'em in the gorilla enclosure? I don't, so don't send 'em to Harvard. Oh, great crayon eating moracle. I literally, why do you guys have to do that? Met my hero today. When people say the heroes of the past wars don't exist, I just wanna say they still exist. I met and talked to Marcus LaTrell, AKA the lone survivor. He was talking about veteran suicide. My mentality has completely changed after hearing him talk. Thankfully, it's a commercial, so hopefully all of America can hear what he has to say, but my question is, how do you recommend helping veterans? Have you thought about bringing some veterans on and letting them talk about the transition to civilian life to help us non-military understand? We might all need some chalk to get through this. You're welcome for the transition. No, I'm not gonna tell you about chalk right now, but look, first, I'm not gonna speak for all veterans. That I'm not some veteran's voice out there where I encompass every veteran and how they all feel, I can simply tell you about me, how I felt, how I feel, and how many of the guys I served with, how they felt and feel, depending on whether they're still alive or not. First and foremost, when you sign up to join the military as a young man, you do so oftentimes, yes, you wanna serve your country, you wanna better yourself, though both those things were true of me. Also, this was true of me. I wanted some adventure, I wanted adventure. Young men, much to their mothers, chagrin, young men crave a little bit of danger. They do, they do, it's how God made us. It's why they always march off to war, who marches off to war, it's the young men. It's just, it's their thing, it's our thing, it's what we do. I probably shouldn't say, "Oh, I'm not a young man anymore." Anyway, but it's what we do. And what happens is you join the military, let us make it about the Marines, and they're gonna grow you up fast, and you're going to find yourself very quickly, at least I can only speak from my experience in the Marine Corps. You are gonna find yourself quickly within a year or two, unless you're a turd or something, you're gonna be in a leadership position, a revered leadership position, where men under you must follow your orders to the letter, and they will. You are trusted with things, weapons, equipment, ammunition, you are given incredible responsibilities over things. You are, and I hate putting it this way, but I am, I'm just gonna tell you, you're important, and you feel important. You feel significant. You matter, and you do. I, at, gosh, I was 21 or 22. I think I was 22 years old, and I was in charge of 10 men in combat. I was our mortar section leader by the time we left Iraq. It was my section, I was a section leader. 10 men, life or death, mine. We're going out on a patrol at night. Me, another NCO, you're leading the patrol. We're in charge at 22. And then I'll tell you the other half of the story. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday and asked Dr. Jesse Friday, reminding you you can email the show and you should Jesse at jessiekellyshow.com. So before we get back to the politics, someone wants to talk about spending and this Biden, Trump, debate, many other things. Before we get to that, we're talking a little bit about veterans and veteran suicide and things like that. And I was just kind of going over how it feels. Okay, so you're young, you sign up, you go fight, 'cause the guys who are struggling with depression and suicide are the guys who went over and fought. You go over and you fight. And you're important. I really want to stress that you're important. You remember, you ever see that movie "First Blood", the first Rambo? Everyone thinks it's called Rambo, but it's called "First Blood". You ever see "First Blood"? Most people have seen "First Blood". If you haven't, he's this green beret who comes back from Vietnam and gets harassed, whatever, it's a great movie, highly recommend it. But at the end, at the end, when his buddy's trying to get him to turn himself in, he starts screaming about, I am mattered. I was important. I was in charge of million dollar equipment. And now I can't even find a job parking cars. For the guys I served with, for some of the guys I served with, it wasn't just the explosions in the blood of whatever. It was you come back from that. Remember, I told you I was a mortar section leader, and I wasn't a good one, okay, I'm not bragging, believe me, but I was in charge of the section. Ten men under my command, they're under my charge in Afghanistan. At 22, I am a leader. When the leader of our company, he wants something done, calls in the NCOs. I'm one of them, I'm standing there in a small circle. You do this, you're important, 22. You come back, you get out, you're not the same. Now, I would argue that you probably have prioritized the wrong things, but think about this. I want you to think about this. And what I'm about to say is no insult, no insult to blue collar workers or whatever, but I went and did construction when I got back. Okay, so, I was 22. 15 minutes ago, I was 22 years old, leading men on night patrols in Baghdad. At one point in time, we were on a night patrol with green berets in the night in Baghdad with MVGs on. 15 minutes later, I'm not only on a construction crew, I'm pretty much the low man on the construction crew, and if somebody needs the trash picked up, Kelly, pick up the trash. That's hard. I cannot speak for women, I will not speak for a woman. For men, we have this picture in our minds, I certainly did, I do, I'm no different, not separating myself in this, where throughout life, our rank in society or place in society, I don't know how I want to put that, we just assume it's going to slowly and steadily go up. Yeah, you'll have this entry level job, but then you'll keep your nose to the grindstone and you'll work your way up and soon you'll be in management. Maybe one day, you'll start your own business. Hey, look at that, I'm 50 years old, I bought him Mercedes. Hey, I'm 55, I fly for his class. Oh, we have a beach house now, it's 60. Oh, I retire one day, and my wife and I are very comfortable down in Boca Raton. You just have this picture in your head that you're slowly and surely in your life, if it was one of those charts, it would just slowly, but surely you'd be heading up, up, up, up, up, up. But you go to combat, all this responsibility, all this adventure, and you come back and it doesn't feel like you went up. It feels like now, all of it was for not, and you're not really anybody anymore. That hurts, I'll tell you, it affected me, it did. It bothered me a lot. The noises bothered me a lot. To this day, I actually do not do that great with loud noises, I'm fine, I'm not going to hide under the desk and cry if a balloon pops, but I will tell you if Chris and Michael were to actually do something nice for me for once, for my birthday or something, and blow up a bunch of balloons and put them in the studio, and then they started popping the balloons. I mean, I wouldn't cry or scream or yell, but I would find an excuse to leave. Hey guys, I gotta run to the store, you need anything? I would not do well with that, I just wouldn't. I wouldn't do well with it. I still prefer the dark over sitting in the light. I just, if I'm alone at home, there are no lights on ever, I'd like it in the dark. I don't know why, I don't know what's wrong with me. And I am not putting myself in the shoes of other guys who, I mean, I never had to hold my best friend and watch him die. When you're a young man and you go through all that, you can get yourself so twisted up and lost and messed up, and then what else you do, and I did this too, is you turn to drugs or alcohol, I didn't do the drugs, but booze, it's just drinking all the time. It's just drinking and drinking and drinking, and then it came back to me later on in life after I've shaken it, drinking, drinking, drinking, and finally ended up conquering those demons by the grace of God and only by the grace of God, but that makes it worse. So they go through all these things, and what it really comes down to, what a lot of it comes down to is, guys will convince themselves, men will convince themselves that that awesome admirable thing they did, that it's the last great thing they'll ever do. There all of a sudden, they were 22 and important. Now they're 25 and they're a garbage man. Not that there's a dag gun thing in the world wrong with being a garbage man, but you're a garbage man, or you're on a construction crew like I was, or you're back in groceries, or whatever you're doing, and you feel like, well crap, man, my friends are dead, I'm all messed up, I drink too much, I just did the last great thing I'm ever gonna do, hey, I'm checking out. That is why when I talk to veterans, I practically scream this from the rooftop, and if you're one of those guys listening right now, and I'm sure there are more than one, listen to me, you did do something incredible, you did, and you should be proud of it. And on the resume of your life, believe me, that's gonna stand out to people. Your kids one day will admire it. To this day, my old dress blues and the Marines, they hang up high in my closet, I don't put them on, but my boys will look at them. My boys will touch, I mean, that's dad. Whoa, look at that, ribbons and stuff. I mean, for them, it's cool. But it is not the last good thing you have to do in this life. It's a thing, good, you did a great thing, you put it on your resume, God's not done with you yet. I promise you, cross my heart and hope to die. When your time is up, your time is up. No need to rush it. There was a show, I'm gonna move on to other things, this is gonna get a little heavy, so we're gonna talk about politics and spending and debates and things like that. But there was a show I never watched in its completion. I've had people ask me if you watched it, but it was called Generation Kill. I believe it was on HBO, Generation Kill. It was about our generation and the fighting and everything. There was one young man who, by all accounts, he just looked like a wonderful young Marine and just looked like a solid dude and they're interviewing him one night and he's sitting there and there's explosions going on around on me, he's talking about how he's just ready to be out, he's ready to be done, can't wait to get back home like any other young man. Hey, I'm gonna get back home and see my woman and need a hot meal and something blows up behind him and he's like, I'm tired of that too. And I remember watching it and I remember thinking, man, I really hope that guy makes it bad. I hope he makes it, I hope he makes it bad. And I hope, I hope he has a wife one day and 10 kids running around, you know, bills stacking up, of course, and stresses of life, but I hope he's there, he's doing it, he's awesome, he's brave, he's a good dude, I hope he makes it. The OD, about two years, two or three years after that little footage was shot. He overdosed, he's gone now. Gentlemen, don't check out on us, all right? And let me just say this as I've said many times, there are a million suicide hotlines you can call. If you are somebody and you are in need or you are the wife of somebody in need, there are probably wisest thing right now whose husbands may be going through this. If there's a problem, you reach out to me, you understand, send me an email to the show, I'm not saying we can work miracles, but I do know some people, okay? Jesse @ jessiekellyshow.com, just send one email before you do something stupid, all right? We don't believe it, we don't delete those, all right? All right, enough of that. Talk about politics, right, talk about politics now. We have debates, are they gonna dump Biden? What do we have to cut out of the federal government? All kinds of things still to come, home, schooling and more. Next, it is the Jesse Kelly show on a Friday and asked Dr. Jesse Friday. And before we get into this deficit, debt situation email that I'm about to read here, I think it's been far too long since we've heard from the Frito Bandito. (upbeat music) ♪ I am the Frito Bandito, yay ♪ ♪ I like Fritos, corn chips, I love them I do ♪ ♪ I want Fritos, corn chips, I'll get them from you ♪ ♪ I, yay, yay, yay ♪ ♪ Oh, I am the Frito Bandito ♪ ♪ Give me Fritos, corn chips, and I'll be your friend ♪ ♪ The Frito Bandito, you must not have been ♪ ♪ Munch, munch, munch, bunch of Fritos ♪ Dear Oracle of Oratory Opulence, I would fully support your dictatorship and cutting almost all the federal government, but realistically, how much of the government and its spending would you have to cut in order to start making a dent in our national deficit and start running in the black again? Do you know or know someone, it's an economist, so on and so forth, his name is Tony? And we can dig into this more if it's something that we really want to get into the details of, we can have on more budget experts, but let's just, let's think of it this way, okay. So we're running now regularly over a trillion dollar deficits. Now remember, deficit and debt are different things, just for all the kids out there, a deficit, that's how much yearly you spend more than you take in. So if I take in three trillion, I spend four trillion, we have a one trillion dollar deficit that year. The debt is different. The debt is all of the deficits we've ever accumulated, all of our debt all lumped into one. Deficit is your yearly overspending debt is your lifetime overspending, okay. So here's why our situation is so brutal and so scary, to be honest with you. It's not only that we spend far more than we take in now. It's that the government, because politicians never want to have to make hard choices, that's the last thing a politician wants to do, a politician never wants to go to the voters and say, sorry, I've got to cut you off from this. I've got to take away this that you're used to. Politicians love to give away things. Right, vote for me, I'll give you this, vote for me, I'll give you that. Because of that, over the years, what they've done is, have you ever heard the terms discretionary spending or non-discretionary spending? Let me just go ahead and simplify this for everybody. What they've done is they've made most of our spending mandatory, mandatory, meaning no matter what Congress does, it goes through, period, end of story. They've done that with the gigantic popular entitlements that everyone loves. I'm honestly, I'm done wasting my breath on it. I'm just gonna wait till they go bankrupt, and then I'll come on here on the radio very obnoxiously and tell everyone I told you so. I've accepted the left and the right, they love Medicare and Social Security, they believe they'll be there forever, you're gonna get a whole bunch of ironed stuff, and then it's gonna collapse the United States of America, and I'll just sit there and truck my shoulders and say I told you so. So I'm not wasting my breath on that again. But that's one great example. If a politician, any politician, even hints that we have to adjust these programs before they end America, that politician will probably lose his seat in office. The reason I'm sitting here today, talking to you on the Jesse Kelly show, and I'm not a member of Congress, is Social Security. I went on camera and I said it is the largest Ponzi scheme in human history, which it obviously is by any definition, and we have to take steps to phase it out and privatize it. That's what I said. That is the reason I lost in a Tea Party year by 4,000 votes. I can't tell you how many Republican old people came up to me and told me they voted for my Democrat opponent because of the commercials she ran on Social Security. Any politician who speaks about those issues in an honest way will lose her seat in Congress. Monday, when I show up, what Chris, oh, you have it? Oh, go ahead, yeah. Is Jesse Kelly listening to you? Was Jesse Kelly listening to you when he said on Social Security, I'd love to eliminate the program? Jesse Kelly said he would work to eliminate Medicare over time. Was he listening to you then? How about when Jesse Kelly said at the same time he'd cut taxes in half for millionaires? Is Jesse Kelly listening to you? Just listen to Jesse Kelly. - We didn't make that up. Chris pulled that it's still available on YouTube. That was an ad on the television set. When you sat down when I was running for Congress in Arizona, people would watch that. Cost me my race. I'm not mad about it, I'd much rather be here, but because the voters love those programs and that's gonna end the country, the politicians know that, so what they've done is they've taken, and it's not just those programs, it's other things, and they make it mandatory so they can then go to the voters and say, "I can't do anything about it, all this is mandatory." We have realized this, the money we spend over 80% of it, over 80% of it is mandatory. It would be like, oh, let me explain. Let's say I made $100,000 a year, and we were spending $200,000 a year. Oh my gosh, we're gonna go broke, right? Uh-oh, problems in the Kelly household. I'm making $100,000, I'm spending $200,000. But through some weird thing, I've written into law that it's a requirement that I spend $170,000. So can I ever save myself, if no matter what, it's written into law that I spend far more that I'll ever take in? It's not possible, they've made it a situation where it's not legally possible to save the financial system. Is this what I tell you all the time? I don't know how you write the debt ship.
