Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of The
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about the Communists using our values against us. Here briefly,
Speaker 1: I do want to get to this man Donnie story
Speaker 1: out of New York City. Of course, ten minutes from now.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes from now, our final semi final matchup of
Speaker 1: the crappiest country in the world tournament that's going to
Speaker 1: determine the finals which will take place next week for
Speaker 1: all the marbles or rice, depending on what kind of country.
Speaker 1: We're discussing. All that, and plus Brandon Wikert about a
Speaker 1: half hour from now, apparently the war with Iran is
Speaker 1: gonna fire up again and Venezuela we might be dropping
Speaker 1: bombs on them soon. This is wild anyway, All that
Speaker 1: is coming up in this hour on The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: So obviously I don't really care about what Sunny Houston
Speaker 1: has to say about anything. So it's not about the
Speaker 1: view or Sunny host. And what is important is that
Speaker 1: you and I understand the tactics the enemy uses against us.
Speaker 1: We have to understand what they're doing and why they're
Speaker 1: doing it so we can stop it. She's talking about
Speaker 1: pro life and gun owners, and.
Speaker 2: Here she is, so you're against the death penalty in
Speaker 2: all cases because some people really deserve.
Speaker 3: I am against the death penalty in all cases. Well,
Speaker 3: I think in all cases. And that's why I find
Speaker 3: there is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are pro life,
Speaker 3: but they will pull that electric chair switch. They are
Speaker 3: pro life, but they have their AR fifteens and their cabinet.
Speaker 3: They are pro life, but they don't mind immigrant families
Speaker 3: being torn.
Speaker 4: From each other.
Speaker 3: They are pro life, but they don't care about little
Speaker 3: children's subsidies being taken away from them.
Speaker 4: That is not pro life.
Speaker 1: That is not pro life. Your pro life and you
Speaker 1: have when AR fifteen you're not pro life. It is
Speaker 1: a tactic. We've talked about a lot. We continue to
Speaker 1: grow and gain more stations and listeners. So we're going
Speaker 1: to have that discussion again briefly right now. Communists do
Speaker 1: not share your value system. In fact, they don't share
Speaker 1: a value system that you would even recognize as human.
Speaker 1: They're completely different. What motivates them is completely different. Let's
Speaker 1: set that aside. But what it does do, what their
Speaker 1: value system does do, is it grants them permission to
Speaker 1: use yours against you. And the reason I will continue
Speaker 1: harping on this is the truth is this has been
Speaker 1: probably the most effective tactic used by the communists on
Speaker 1: the American right. They've been insanely successful using our values
Speaker 1: against us for decades and decades and decades. It's really
Speaker 1: the main reason why they were able to penetrate so
Speaker 1: deeply into all of our institutions. We wanted to be nice,
Speaker 1: we wanted to be kind, we wanted to be tolerant.
Speaker 1: Whenever they would run up against some form of resistance,
Speaker 1: they would appeal to your humanity. I thought you loved freedom.
Speaker 1: I thought you loved Jesus. Don't you believe what it
Speaker 1: says in the Bible. Aren't you going to be kind?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be turning the other cheek? And we, not
Speaker 1: realizing what was happening, not realizing why they were saying
Speaker 1: what they were saying, constantly backed off, Well, you know
Speaker 1: what you are right, Well, I do want to be
Speaker 1: not nice. That Jesus would want me to be nice,
Speaker 1: that is what he said. So I mean, okay, you can,
Speaker 1: all right, you can have the cup scouts, all right?
Speaker 1: You know what with the actually you can be one
Speaker 1: of the pastors in our church. Well you know what, yet,
Speaker 1: you can be my son's teacher. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be thought of of intolerant. After all, she's just a
Speaker 1: tranny with pink hair. I don't want to look bad.
Speaker 1: I don't want to look mean. And the second you
Speaker 1: try to speak up, they whip out your Bible right
Speaker 1: out of your pocket. Something they have nothing for. Disdain,
Speaker 1: nothing but disdain for by the way, nothing but disdain
Speaker 1: for you and your beliefs. But they will whip your
Speaker 1: Bible out in a heartbeat, and they'll hold it up
Speaker 1: in your face, and they'll say, you want to own
Speaker 1: a gun? I want to take your guns away. I
Speaker 1: thought you said you were pro life. The Bible talks
Speaker 1: about that. I guess you're not. Since you want to
Speaker 1: own a gun. Do you want to And by the way,
Speaker 1: what I'm about to say still infects churches across this
Speaker 1: country coast to coast.
Speaker 5: Do you want.
Speaker 1: To deport people who came here illegally or stay here illegally?
Speaker 1: Do you think Jesus would want that? That's not what
Speaker 1: Jesus would want. Now, this is not a person who
Speaker 1: cares about Jesus. Believes in Jesus, reads the Old Testament
Speaker 1: or the New Testament, nothing but disc staying for you
Speaker 1: and your beliefs. But they understand very well what your
Speaker 1: beliefs are, and they will whip them out and beat
Speaker 1: you over the face with them the second their revolution
Speaker 1: runs up against trouble. I didn't play it for you
Speaker 1: so you could hear this brain dead idiot on the view.
Speaker 1: She is a moron who has been trained in communist
Speaker 1: tactics for years and years and years in years and years.
Speaker 1: This is how they've been trained. This is what they do.
Speaker 1: I'm going to play it again. Write it in stone
Speaker 1: on your heart and understand every time they pull out
Speaker 1: your values, it is to weaken your resistance to their revolution.
Speaker 1: This is a tactic they're trained here.
Speaker 2: You're against the death penalty in all cases because yes,
Speaker 2: people really deserve.
Speaker 3: I'm against the death penalty in all cases, so I
Speaker 3: think in all cases. And that's why I find there
Speaker 3: is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are pro life positive.
Speaker 1: Real quick, all, let are go in a moment, what
Speaker 1: should just do. I've noticed there's a hypocrisy. If if
Speaker 1: I if I sat down with you, let's say We're
Speaker 1: sitting down at Red Lobster, and we got some mozzarella sticks,
Speaker 1: and we got some Cajun shrimp alfredo and some shrimp scampy,
Speaker 1: and we're dipping our cheddar Bay biscuits in the shrimp
Speaker 1: scampy butter as we do. Just having a conversation, you
Speaker 1: and me, and I very frankly told you that I
Speaker 1: thought you were a hypocrite. I thought you were being
Speaker 1: a hypocrite about something that would hurt your feelings, wouldn't it?
Speaker 1: That would that would you wouldn't like that? You would
Speaker 1: want to hear an explanation, And frankly, even if you
Speaker 1: got mad at me, you would probably examine yourself. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, am I being a hypocrite. Notice their hypocrisy
Speaker 1: never bothers them. In fact, they try to be hypocrites,
Speaker 1: but they understandocrisy is something you don't want to embrace.
Speaker 1: Being a hypocrite is not something you ever want to
Speaker 1: be thought of. And so they understand again a tactic
Speaker 1: that is a great way to weaken your defenses to
Speaker 1: the revolution.
Speaker 2: You're against the death penalty in all cases, because yes,
Speaker 2: people really deserve.
Speaker 3: I am against the death penalty in all cases, well,
Speaker 3: I think in all cases, and that's why I find
Speaker 3: there is a hypocrisy with certain Christians who are pro life,
Speaker 3: but they will pull that electric chair switch. They are
Speaker 3: pro life, but they have their ar fifteens and their cabinet.
Speaker 3: They are pro life, but they don't mind immigrant families
Speaker 3: being torn from each other. They are pro life, but
Speaker 3: they don't care about little children's subsidies being taken away
Speaker 3: from them.
Speaker 4: That is not pro life.
Speaker 1: You call yourself a Christian. If you were a Christian,
Speaker 1: you'd let me have my revolution. If you were a Christian,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe in killing murders. If you were really
Speaker 1: a Christian, you would give up your ability to defend
Speaker 1: yourself from me. That way, I could send hordes of
Speaker 1: animals to your home whenever you made me angry. If
Speaker 1: you were a Christian, you would give those guns up.
Speaker 1: Aren't you a Christian? If you were a Christian, you
Speaker 1: would allow me to import entire prison gangs from foreign
Speaker 1: countries who will rape and murder your daughter. If you
Speaker 1: were a real Christian and not a hypocrite, you'd let me.
Speaker 1: Aren't you a real Christian? They do it all the time.
Speaker 1: They have been trained in it. They have been thoroughly
Speaker 1: programmed in it. And the reason I will warn about
Speaker 1: this until the day they finally fire me and take
Speaker 1: me off the air is because it works. I've watched
Speaker 1: it work endlessly on the right, especially on the church.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bore you again with story of
Speaker 1: losing my church after George Floyd died, not because my
Speaker 1: pastors and he was an evil man. He's not my
Speaker 1: pastor anymore. He's a very good man, I believe, humble,
Speaker 1: kind human being. Not ready to deal with the Communist menace.
Speaker 1: They pulled him into some commie black coalition where they
Speaker 1: scolded him for the color of his skin. He went
Speaker 1: to a what White People Need to Know conference, and
Speaker 1: the next Sunday stood up in front of the church
Speaker 1: and talked about all of our white privilege. An evil man, no,
Speaker 1: a man who simply did not understand the tactics of
Speaker 1: the devil and did not understand he was dealing with evil.
Speaker 1: He did not understand he was dealing with trained subversives,
Speaker 1: trained infiltrators, and he stood no chance stand up to
Speaker 1: these people. Never ever, ever, let the Communists use your
Speaker 1: values against you. All right, all right, North Korea is
Speaker 1: about to go to war with Haiti. No, not in
Speaker 1: real life, although that'd be entertaining. We're just talking about
Speaker 1: in our crappiest country in the world tournament, which continues next.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic
Speaker 1: Thursday Memory. If you miss any part of the show,
Speaker 1: you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes.
Speaker 1: Now there's only one more semi final matchup in our
Speaker 1: crappiest country in the world tournament. This is for the right,
Speaker 1: the right to go fight for your honor as being
Speaker 1: the worst place on earth. The championship will take place.
Speaker 1: What is it Monday or Tuesday? Chris Tuesday? Next Tuesday
Speaker 1: is the championship. Somalia already fought valiantly, have turned their
Speaker 1: country into a war torn hell hole where women are
Speaker 1: treated like garbage, and that earned them the right to
Speaker 1: fight for a championship. Now it's up to North Korea,
Speaker 1: it's up to Haiti. Now it's a question. Look, you're
Speaker 1: both talented, you're both just awful in every possible way. Horrible,
Speaker 1: putrid places, garbage cultures. You are both wretched. So now
Speaker 1: it's just about effort Now it's about will who wants
Speaker 1: it more, North Korea or Haiti.
Speaker 6: It's the twenty twenty five crappiest country in the world competition.
Speaker 6: Tonight's matchup is between North Korea and Haiti. Brought to
Speaker 6: you by Big Debbies e'urinal cakes Delicious in only ten galleries.
Speaker 1: So let's do a brief version, a brief recap of
Speaker 1: how are things over there in North Korea. They have
Speaker 1: concentration camps plural that are as bad as anything that
Speaker 1: happened in World War Two. North Korea has a real
Speaker 1: specialty when it comes to torture. Oftentimes it's water torture.
Speaker 1: Oh and I should note when you're being tortured, North
Speaker 1: Korea will arrest your entire family oftentimes and do it
Speaker 1: to everybody, so it's something the whole family gets to
Speaker 1: enjoy as they force water down your throat and then
Speaker 1: step on your stomach. They jam needles underneath your fingernails,
Speaker 1: and all the way to just hanging you upside down
Speaker 1: and then beating you senseless. You have no rights, no
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. There is a strict class system where
Speaker 1: you can't advance beyond the lower classes at all. There's slavery.
Speaker 1: Did you think we were past that time? The North
Speaker 1: Korean government, because people have no rights and they have
Speaker 1: no guns, they will just show up at your house
Speaker 1: and yank you out and turn you into an uncompensated worker,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, slang for slavery in one of
Speaker 1: their minds or camps or somewhere else. You don't have
Speaker 1: to have done anything wrong whatsoever to get conscripted as
Speaker 1: a slave. They do this to their own people. Not
Speaker 1: a great place, but they're up against the juggernaut. Smaller
Speaker 1: than North Korea, no question. They don't have the concentration camps.
Speaker 1: But Haities. Look, this is like a boxing matchup North Korea.
Speaker 1: They're more of a power puncher. Haiti lighter on their feet,
Speaker 1: lighter on their feet. Look, boxing is all about matchups.
Speaker 1: Let's meet the other contender. On the US State Department's
Speaker 1: advice section for if you're traveling to Haiti, i kid
Speaker 1: you not there is advice on how you need to
Speaker 1: choose a family member with Boom. The kidnappers can negotiate
Speaker 1: your ransom price. So the bad news is you might
Speaker 1: be murdered, raped, eaten, and chopped up with a machete
Speaker 1: in Haiti if you visit there. But the good news
Speaker 1: is that sister you hate, you can force her to
Speaker 1: cough up some ransom money and cost her a fortune.
Speaker 1: Haiti's terrible. Now, I didn't know who you were going
Speaker 1: to choose, because remember, you've been able to vote this
Speaker 1: whole time. I believe I've only overruled you one time, right, Chris,
Speaker 1: one time? So I don't want to hear any more
Speaker 1: whining about how I'm a dictator who doesn't obey the
Speaker 1: will of the people. I do that unless you're dumb.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, what Chris, be a nice
Speaker 1: I let you have your say. I kind of assumed
Speaker 1: North Korea was going to win, not because Haiti is
Speaker 1: anything but one of the most cursed lands on the planet.
Speaker 1: But North Korea does have like real concentrate camps, real ones.
Speaker 1: They still have slavery. It's unbelievably bad. But the people
Speaker 1: have spoken, and they've spoken out in such a way
Speaker 1: I can't even I can't even overrule this. Haiti destroyed
Speaker 1: North Korea in the semi finals, and didn't Somalia just
Speaker 1: destroy India to Chris, so it looks well, it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it is Haiti won this round, and they
Speaker 1: won it easily, and credit to them. And as we've
Speaker 1: discussed before, when you have a team in any sport
Speaker 1: and it finally gets to the playoffs, whatever that may
Speaker 1: be NFL playoffs or the college football playoffs or Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball playoffs, if there's a team that's been dominating
Speaker 1: everyone they face, that oftentimes is the team that's going
Speaker 1: to win at all. But how in the world do
Speaker 1: you handicap it when you have two different teams who
Speaker 1: have dominated all comers. Somalia is so bad they wreck everybody.
Speaker 1: There's poop on the streets in India, and Somalia still
Speaker 1: just slaughtered them as if it was an unborn child. Haiti,
Speaker 1: they eat people. I don't know how we handle this.
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're going to choose. But now
Speaker 1: it's up to you to vote Haiti versus Somalia. Next week.
Speaker 5: Go vote.
Speaker 1: Let your voice be heard. Now before you do that,
Speaker 1: go get wise at Hillsteal College. Go learn about the
Speaker 1: world in which we live. Go learn about Athens and Sparta,
Speaker 1: learn about capitalism. Learn as a family. I want to
Speaker 1: continue to stress this over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: There are so many things we do as a family
Speaker 1: that are just fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Have fun, Go play football in the backyard, go to
Speaker 1: the pool, watch a movie, play cards, do all the
Speaker 1: things you do as a family. But sitting down as
Speaker 1: a family and hoovering up wisdom. It's good to have
Speaker 1: your children see that. Not just for the wisdom Hillsdale
Speaker 1: gives us for them to see, Oh, I should take
Speaker 1: some free time and do something beneficial with it. Hillsdale
Speaker 1: College gives us that wisdom at no cost. Hillsdale dot
Speaker 1: edu slash Jesse no cost, go learn. All right, we're
Speaker 1: all about to learn from Brandon Wiker national security stuff.
Speaker 1: Next it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful Thursday, reminding you to get your ask doctor Jesse
Speaker 1: questions in for tomorrow Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1: But we don't have time for that right now, because
Speaker 1: brand is going to talk to us about bombs dropping
Speaker 1: on Iran, and then we're gonna go to Venezuela and
Speaker 1: the world is coming to an end. I'm kidding, it's
Speaker 1: not coming to an end. But our national security guy,
Speaker 1: Brandon Wikert, author of so many great books joins US. Now, okay, Brandon,
Speaker 1: We're gonna set Venezuela aside for just a few moments,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about Iran. It was my understanding that
Speaker 1: we flew around the world and dropped some bombs and
Speaker 1: took out their nuclear facilities, and now it's been peace
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Is that not the case?
Speaker 5: No, that's not the case.
Speaker 4: No, this thanks for having me, by the way. This
Speaker 4: is this that was merely round one.
Speaker 5: Round two is at hand, and.
Speaker 4: It's looking like we've moved a dozen casey one thirty
Speaker 4: five Strato tankers into Aludd Airbase in Katar. It looks
Speaker 4: like we've got the USS Gerald R Ford heading to
Speaker 4: the MED that's gonna bring with it. It's air wing
Speaker 4: of F thirty fives and FA eight teams, as well
Speaker 4: as the E two D Hawkeye, and.
Speaker 5: I think that's those are the big ones out of there.
Speaker 4: So basically we're we are ramping up for what looks
Speaker 4: to me like an imminent another round of hostilities. I
Speaker 4: am skeptical, however, that the US is going to necessarily
Speaker 4: take part directly. It looks to me like we're emphasizing
Speaker 4: for now at least a support role, but I do
Speaker 4: believe Israel is getting ready to hit hard into Iran.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's pause for a moment before we get to Israel,
Speaker 1: because we're going to nerd out on military details that
Speaker 1: people do not know the way you know them. So
Speaker 1: please explain tankers. F thirty fives hawk guys, what are
Speaker 1: these things?
Speaker 4: Well, so the F thirty fives, and I believe it's
Speaker 4: I think it's the F thirty five C, which is
Speaker 4: the naval variant, which is the one that's designed to
Speaker 4: take off and land on carriers. They're three variants. The
Speaker 4: Marine Corps has a variant which I think is the
Speaker 4: most interesting one. It basically lands and takes off like
Speaker 4: a helicopter. That's the F thirty five B. And then
Speaker 4: the Air Force has the F thirty five A, which
Speaker 4: is the most boring one. And then so those are warplanes.
Speaker 4: Those are traditional. Everybody kind of figure out what those are.
Speaker 4: They're gonna they fly in and they bomb and they
Speaker 4: kill the enemy. The FA eight team super Hornet, same thing.
Speaker 4: It's a fourth generation though, as opposed to a fifth
Speaker 4: generation plane, which the F thirty five is. But the
Speaker 4: interesting thing, and I'm a logistics guy by nature. So
Speaker 4: the interesting thing is all of the movement of the
Speaker 4: big F sorry, big KC one thirty five strato tankers.
Speaker 4: Those are the things. They're called strategic enablers. The Air
Speaker 4: Force refers to the mads and as that name suggests,
Speaker 4: it basically allows or enables either our military or military
Speaker 4: to conduct really complex, long range air strikes against distant targets.
Speaker 4: And as you know, the distance from Israeli airspace to
Speaker 4: Iranian airspace is pretty big, so.
Speaker 5: They need to refuel at some point.
Speaker 4: In the first round of fight with Iran in June,
Speaker 4: they relied. Israel did on This was not advertised, but
Speaker 4: a picket of Casey one thirty five flew out of
Speaker 4: Aludd in the middle of the night on that first
Speaker 4: night and popped off the Israeli bombers and allowed for
Speaker 4: the Israelis to continue continuously striking at Iran. So something
Speaker 4: similar is going to happen with the Casey one thirty five.
Speaker 5: I mentioned the.
Speaker 4: E TWD Hawkeye, which is a surveillance plane that it's
Speaker 4: a propeller twin engine plane. It flies off of the
Speaker 4: aircraft carrier. There's also on the carrier there would be
Speaker 4: what is it the Growler, which is it's the same
Speaker 4: airframe as an FA eighteen, but it basically does electronic warfare,
Speaker 4: so it basically tries to switch off enemy air defenses.
Speaker 4: That allows for gaps to form, for friendly bombers and
Speaker 4: warplanes to fly in with a reduced chance of getting
Speaker 4: shot out of the sky. I don't know if we
Speaker 4: would deploy the Growlers, because that would be more direct,
Speaker 4: I think, than what Trump wants. But we very well
Speaker 4: made to support the Israelis. But definitely those those strato tankers,
Speaker 4: the mid air refuelers, those are a big deal. And
Speaker 4: also I suspect there's probably gonna be some a wax
Speaker 4: which are basically you know, command and control planes. They'll
Speaker 4: be orbiting the area as well, providing you know, assistance
Speaker 4: to the Israelis on top of whatever the Israelis have deployed.
Speaker 4: But what it looks like to me so far, Jesse
Speaker 4: is this is going to be a very big supporting role.
Speaker 5: We're going to be providing.
Speaker 4: But that could be problematic because I don't know if
Speaker 4: the Israelis have the capacity to fully do really what
Speaker 4: they want to do on their own. Ultimately, last time
Speaker 4: we had to get involved with the b two's I
Speaker 4: don't know if Trump wants to do that again, but
Speaker 4: I don't know if the Israelis actually have the capacity
Speaker 4: to do what they're saying they want to do, which
Speaker 4: it looks like they want to do decapitation strikes against
Speaker 4: the regime in Iran.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm glad you brought that up, because that's
Speaker 1: exactly where we're going next. Of course, talking to Brandon Weikert,
Speaker 1: national security guy, what does that mean? What does Israel want?
Speaker 1: How would Israel even go about doing it? What are
Speaker 1: decapitation strikes? Is this basically assassinating people with fighter jets?
Speaker 4: Well so on paper, yes, but there's more to it.
Speaker 4: It sounds to me like Massad Israel's intelligence has penetrated
Speaker 4: pretty deep within the Iranian regime. They have people on
Speaker 4: the inside. I was told during the June War.
Speaker 5: Somebody that I rely on, who's Israeli.
Speaker 4: They told me the night of the attack that there
Speaker 4: were literally Masad agents in the bunkers with the Iranian leaders.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so, and people.
Speaker 4: Don't realize how the reason those Israeli air strikes in
Speaker 4: the opening days of that war were so effective was
Speaker 4: because they literally had people on the ground in Iran,
Speaker 4: hiding out, basically ranging the targets for the Israeli warplans.
Speaker 4: I doubt the Israeli air campaign would have been as
Speaker 4: effective as it was had it not been for that
Speaker 4: really effective penetration of Iranian society and.
Speaker 5: Their government and military.
Speaker 4: By Iranian I mean sorry, Israeli spies, and in many
Speaker 4: cases the Israeli spies were women who were penetrating the
Speaker 4: regime in more ways than one.
Speaker 5: But that is one of the.
Speaker 4: Things the Israelis are very good at, is deploying their
Speaker 4: their people into these secretive positions where they can basically
Speaker 4: get really good targeting, and that's at play here again.
Speaker 4: I think that the ultimate goal, and I think that
Speaker 4: Yahoo has even said this at one point in the
Speaker 4: last few months, the ultimate goal, the perfect vision, is
Speaker 4: to one way or the other, get rid of the
Speaker 4: regime in Iran. And we saw them try that initially
Speaker 4: in the June war where they were killing a lot
Speaker 4: of Iranian generals. They killed some I think they killed
Speaker 4: like the number two in Iran, and we know they
Speaker 4: were targeting the Iranian Ayatola Krmani, which is why they
Speaker 4: literally the Iranians had to literally move him to a
Speaker 4: bunker that was far removed from Iran's kind of major cities,
Speaker 4: and they basically did not allow any kind of electronic
Speaker 4: device into that bunker, which meant that the Ayatola was
Speaker 4: giving orders by hand by paper, and they were physically
Speaker 4: driving those orders to the various commands and then transmitting
Speaker 4: them because they were so paranoid that the Israelis were
Speaker 4: going to kill their grand leader.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I gotta tell you, if all my general staff
Speaker 1: was getting wiped out too, I'd probably start handing out
Speaker 1: love notes myself. Okay, Brandon, do you have a few
Speaker 1: more minutes for us after the break, because I didn't
Speaker 1: even get to Venezuela. This Iran Israel stuff is so fascinating,
Speaker 1: but I want to talk Venezuela with you if you
Speaker 1: have a few Is that okay? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I do, yes, absolutely, Okay.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna come back and we're going to talk
Speaker 1: to Brandon Wikert about Venezuela because Venezuela apparently can detect
Speaker 1: our stealth stuff. How stealthy is stealth stuff. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have a little conversation next Trump certainly sounds like he's
Speaker 1: ramping up this war on the cartels. It is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursdays. We cruised into
Speaker 1: the weekend. But let's come back to Brandon Wiker speaking
Speaker 1: with our national security guy. Brandon Wiker. You really should
Speaker 1: be hoovering up his books. Winning Space might be one
Speaker 1: of my favorites. But we're not talking about space. We're
Speaker 1: about to talk about Venezuela. What's happening in Venezuela. Who's
Speaker 1: helping who? What are we doing? Brandon take it.
Speaker 4: Away, Well, I think that we are. Well, I know
Speaker 4: we are getting ready to bomb them. I was told
Speaker 4: that recently by somebody that I rely on for a
Speaker 4: lot of information about US military information. It looks like
Speaker 4: in the next two to three weeks there's going to
Speaker 4: be something going on with US bombing of quote unquote
Speaker 4: drug related targets in Venezuela. But I would just remind
Speaker 4: your audience that when Trump says we're going after the
Speaker 4: drug lords and the drug production facilities, Venezuela is basically
Speaker 4: running the world's largest state owned drug cartel, Which means
Speaker 4: if we're targeting the leadership of the cartel of the Suns,
Speaker 4: which the big cartel in Venezuela. Technically we're gonna be
Speaker 4: targeting Maduro, the leader of Venezuela himself, because he's basically
Speaker 4: the leader of this cartel. So that is a little
Speaker 4: bit of an interesting slide of hand that Trump uses
Speaker 4: for basically saying we're doing regime change in Venezuela. We've
Speaker 4: moved a flotilla off the coast. We've got about about
Speaker 4: ten I think F thirty fives. These are the Marine
Speaker 4: Corps variants, the ones that can take off and land
Speaker 4: like helicopters, the F thirty five B. And it looks
Speaker 4: like we're getting ready to do something. And I think
Speaker 4: the reason that Trump is so gung ho about taking
Speaker 4: out Maduro is and I don't know if you know
Speaker 4: this is real or not. I'm just reporting what I've
Speaker 4: heard from people close to Trump, is that the president
Speaker 4: really believes that there was an attempt by Maduro in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty to basically help steal the election against him.
Speaker 4: And if that is the case, if Trump really believes this,
Speaker 4: the Venezuelan dictator.
Speaker 5: Is he's not getting out of this alive.
Speaker 4: There's no way that Trump's gonna let him get away,
Speaker 4: you know, and negotiate his way out of this, because
Speaker 4: a lot of people have been asking me, like, why
Speaker 4: is Trump so committed to Venezuela, And it does seem
Speaker 4: a bit extreme because Venezuela you would not think is
Speaker 4: like the number one threat to us, but Trump is
Speaker 4: acting like it is. And I think it's because he
Speaker 4: thinks Maduro had a hand in the you know, twenty
Speaker 4: twenty election steal. But that is why you're seeing this
Speaker 4: build up. And Trump is going to go in I
Speaker 4: think in the next two to three weeks with airstrikes.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess I have to ask the question
Speaker 1: because I'm unaware, and I mean, maybe it's true. What
Speaker 1: does Trump think Maduro did in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Well, it has to do with this firm that was
Speaker 4: started by a bunch of Venezuelan ex patriots called Smartmatic,
Speaker 4: and they basically it's a software company that does all
Speaker 4: of the electronic voting machines. They do a lot around
Speaker 4: the world, not just here in the United States. And
Speaker 4: in fact, the one of the three of the corporate
Speaker 4: leaders for that company are up on charges in the
Speaker 4: Philippines for a bribering bribing election officials in the Philippines.
Speaker 4: But they were. If you remember, in twenty twenty, they
Speaker 4: were accused of having by Trump of having to had
Speaker 4: a hand and stealing the election. But ultimately, whether it's
Speaker 4: true or not, the point is Trump believes that if
Speaker 4: and if Trump is linking what happened in twenty twenty
Speaker 4: him losing to what's going on in Venezuela right now,
Speaker 4: anybody hoping for a negotiated settlement, you're not going to
Speaker 4: get it because Trump has got the bit between his
Speaker 4: teeth and he's.
Speaker 5: Like a rottweiler.
Speaker 4: He's not going to let it go until he tastes blood.
Speaker 4: That's why you have this build up there. And that's
Speaker 4: why I think the person who told me we're probably
Speaker 4: going to start bombing in two to three weeks is
Speaker 4: probably correct because he really thinks that Maduro is like
Speaker 4: a really and Modua is he's not a great guy,
Speaker 4: you know, but he's not interested in negotiating with Maduro.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that obviously it leads us to is this
Speaker 1: going to be a cake walk for us? Because I
Speaker 1: would argue that most Americans, myself included, I don't claim
Speaker 1: to be an expert, think about that regime and we think,
Speaker 1: surely we're not going to lose anyone. Frankly, we're not
Speaker 1: even really in danger of losing anyone. Certainly, if we're
Speaker 1: just dropping some bombs and doing flying some sorties. Am
Speaker 1: I wrong?
Speaker 4: Well, on the face of it, you're not. And initially,
Speaker 4: you know, when we started building up, I was sort
Speaker 4: of laughing, like this is going to be like Grenado
Speaker 4: or like Panama in the eighties. Remember, you know, three
Speaker 4: day war in and out. You know, we're good to go.
Speaker 4: But then I start seeing these reports of the drone
Speaker 4: capabilities that Russia and Iran for the last several years
Speaker 4: have been helping Venezuela develop, and we start hearing about
Speaker 4: the Drino. The head of the Venezuelan military this morning
Speaker 4: gave a press conference in which he claimed they detected
Speaker 4: three or four of these Marine Corps F thirty five
Speaker 4: b's in their airspace. So that starts making me question,
Speaker 4: are the Venezuelans being given training and capabilities by the
Speaker 4: Russians whom they have a military alliance with. The Russians
Speaker 4: have really proven themselves effective at using really innovative techniques
Speaker 4: on their radars for detecting American stealth planes. The Chinese
Speaker 4: have also developed similar capabilities. It's not fool proof.
Speaker 5: Still, we have a.
Speaker 4: Lot of advantages with stealth. But the Russians in particular,
Speaker 4: have been really developing these innovative ways of figuring out
Speaker 4: how to pinpoint American stelt planes. And they're pretty cheap
Speaker 4: these methods. It's not like they're reinventing new technology. They're
Speaker 4: using existing detection technology, but they're doing it in a
Speaker 4: really unique way. They could be showing the Venezuelans.
Speaker 5: How to do that.
Speaker 4: I know they showed the Iranians how to do that.
Speaker 4: So this is a concern obviously, because the F thirty
Speaker 4: five is our big primary warplane that we're going to
Speaker 4: be sending against Venezuela. And while I do think the
Speaker 4: Venezuelan military is not impressive, they do have certain unconventional
Speaker 4: capabilities that could make them a bit harder to kill
Speaker 4: than we think. Furthermore, it's a huge country, and you know,
Speaker 4: the last thing we want to do is get involved
Speaker 4: in some kind of a jungle war. You know, this
Speaker 4: is not really being considered, I think by the Pentagon
Speaker 4: as anything other than cake walk. But we might be
Speaker 4: surprised if we're not careful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sure might. Brandon Michkaer, you are the best.
Speaker 1: Go pick up his books. He is the best. Brandon,
Speaker 1: thank you, my man. I appreciate you. I nerd out
Speaker 1: on that stuff, Chris.
Speaker 5: I do
