WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:03.960 Jesse Kelly Shaw. 2 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:13.439 Let's have some fun on a Monday. I have missed 3 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:19.839 you so freaking much. Happy New Year. It's twenty twenty six. 4 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.960 I'm so excited for everything. The year is going to 5 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.079 bring the ups the downs. We will ride it out together. 6 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:32.000 I'm excited for tonight and tomorrow and every other day. 7 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.840 In case you can't tell, I've been dying to get back, 8 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.200 but I am gear. There's so much to do tonight, 9 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.200 there's no way we're going to get through it all. 10 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.479 Let me just give you a couple guarantees on things 11 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.200 we're definitely going to get to. First, an hour from 12 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.399 now is going to be Medal of Honor Monday, as 13 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.960 it always is, we will honor a hero. We're going 14 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.280 to open the show, and it's going to take a 15 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.920 while talking about Venezuela. Not just the operation, of course, 16 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.280 we're going to nerd out on that. We're going to 17 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.879 talk about the reasons, the real reasons. What's going on globally, 18 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.640 what's the Trump plan? What might be next? What are 19 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.959 the potential problems that we have? So many things we're 20 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.439 gonna get to there. Tim Walls announces he's not running 21 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.200 for re election. What happened. We'll discuss it. That New 22 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.879 York City's going to get worse than we thought. We're 23 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.840 going to have to go ahead and destroy Hilton Hotels 24 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:31.000 the way we destroyed bud Light. All that emails, so 25 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.079 much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse 26 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.519 Kelly's Show. Now, I've been nerding out since it happened. 27 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.879 I would venture a guest that you have been nerding 28 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.879 out since it happened. I woke up. I woke up, 29 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.799 and I forget which morning it was. What was it Wednesday? 30 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.519 It doesn't matter what morning it was. I don't do details. 31 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.760 None of that's changed. I wake up and I did 32 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.000 the exact same thing you do when you wake up. 33 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.640 Don't lie. I know you do. I woke up, rolled over, 34 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.439 grab my phone. In my defense, that's where my alarm is. 35 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.199 I grabbed my phone to turn the alarm off, and 36 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.680 I think I had fifteen text messages from various friends. 37 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.240 I didn't know it was going down. You didn't know 38 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.560 it was going down. Trump got Maduro last night. Trump 39 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.520 arrested Maduro last night. We have been what in Venezuela. 40 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.800 So I know you already know the story, So I 41 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.479 won't cover the story, but I do want to bring 42 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.719 this up before we go on. We don't fully appreciate 43 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:48.439 how elite our military is compared to almost pretty much 44 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:53.439 every other military on the planet. And there are a 45 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.360 lot of reasons for that, which we'll talk about in 46 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.439 a moment, But because if you're an American, if you're 47 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.520 an American, and I know we have people listening all 48 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.240 over the world, but if you're an American citizen, you've 49 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.240 probably only ever lived in America, and because of that, 50 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.360 if that's all you've ever known, you don't appreciate the differences. 51 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.400 To be honest with you, I never fully appreciated the 52 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.039 differences until I joined the Marine Corps. Joined the Marine Corps, 53 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.879 I trained with Marines, we go fight with Marines, and 54 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.360 then there's a period of time in Iraq where there's 55 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.520 a transition and now some European powers are coming in 56 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.919 and they're sending in troops to do this or that, 57 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:41.759 and I remember being mortified at the troops from other countries. Mortified, 58 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.120 not just the Europeans, by the way. I remember before 59 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.840 we went to Thailand, we were told you're going to 60 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.120 train with the Thai Marines, and immediately I'm thinking probably 61 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.120 the same thing. You're thinking, Wow, they're probably going to 62 00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:00.560 be some stud jungle fighters. They were pathetic. They couldn't 63 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.879 even hunt their own gear, whining all the pathetic. The 64 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.360 Spanish came in to relieve us from some compound in Iraq, Spain. 65 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.039 I realized they're not some military juggernaut. But you're thinking, 66 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:18.360 probably pretty switched on guys, at least modern pathetic. Our 67 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:24.120 military is incredible. We don't think of ourselves probably as 68 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:29.519 a Spartan like culture, but we have a military culture 69 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.800 in this country, a rugged military culture that comes from 70 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.319 our DNA, It comes from our heritage, It comes from 71 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.600 our love of the outdoors, our love of firearms. We 72 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.560 have a society full of men primed to join the 73 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.240 military if they are willing. We have the resources, the 74 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.879 financial resources to buy the best training money can buy. 75 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.920 You got all the bulleting you want. We just have 76 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:05.759 elite military personnel. Now, let's understand something about an operation 77 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.279 of this size. You could argue, let's call it a raid. 78 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.839 You could argue historically, this is the greatest raid that 79 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.439 has ever been pulled off. When you consider a couple things, 80 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:27.639 consider this. Venezuela knew we were there. Venezuela assumed we 81 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.920 were coming in Venezuela is No. They're not some top 82 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:38.000 tier military, but they have the assistance of you would 83 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.360 probably say the number two and three best militaries on 84 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.079 the planet. That would be Russia and China. We're better 85 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.800 than Russia and China, but if you were ranking them, 86 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.639 Russia and China would be second and third. Russia and 87 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.639 China were not only invested there, Russia and China were 88 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:03.800 sending equipment there, equipments specifically designed to stop the United 89 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.600 States military from doing anything like it was doing anything. 90 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.120 They knew we were coming. They had been supplied by 91 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.160 the second and third best militaries in the world, trained 92 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.839 by the second and third best militaries in the world 93 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.079 to stop us from doing it. 94 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.639 And still we flew helicopters into their capital in the 95 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.160 middle of the night, killed all the security around their president, 96 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.399 and jacked him and his wife out of the mansion, 97 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.480 threw them on a ship, and shipped him back to 98 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.240 the United States of America without losing a single man. 99 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.600 Don't go by the way, in case you think this 100 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.759 is all gonna be sunshine, it's not. We're going to 101 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.560 discuss potential problems and what's going on. We're gonna get 102 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.000 to that. I just wanted to take a moment to 103 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.560 appreciate how elite this was. And I'm not just talking 104 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.600 about the Delta guys on the ground. I'm play something 105 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.000 for you've probably already heard it. This is Dan Cain. 106 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.240 He is well thought of by the actual war fighters 107 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.680 in our military. His nickname is Raisin Cain, and on 108 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.079 this show, that's how he will be referred to from 109 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.120 now on. I'm going to give Raisin Cain the floor. Now. 110 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.759 I want you before I play him, I want you 111 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.560 to think about this. If I gave you twenty people 112 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.000 and I had you organize an operation, not a military operation, 113 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.959 an operation where one guy had to walk into this 114 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.680 office and he had to get a stapler, and the 115 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.639 next guy had to walk into a different office and 116 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.399 he had to get a blue pen, and the next 117 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.000 guy had to walk into a different office and he 118 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.680 had to get a package of printer paper. Do you 119 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.120 think you could pull that off? How much time and 120 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.000 training do you think it would take to make sure 121 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.639 everybody knew their duty. It's more complicated in it than 122 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.680 you think. I'll give you a little example. In fact, 123 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.480 it's from my Christmas break. I didn't tell you this before, Hanks. 124 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.360 I can't tell people when I'm traveling beforehand. We went 125 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.720 to New York City for Christmas this year. We love 126 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.279 New York City. We assume we're never going to go 127 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.519 back now that Ma'm Donnie's going to destroy the place. 128 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.079 We wanted a couple more days to go see the sites, 129 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.480 eat some hot dogs, look at the Christmas tree, the 130 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.680 normal thing. As part of our New York City trip, 131 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.360 we decided to do something we'd never done before. We 132 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.560 went to the Empire State Building. There were nine of 133 00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.160 us in our party. It was a big group. I 134 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.160 had all the tickets on my phone. In order to 135 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.559 get to the top of the Empire State Building, you 136 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.440 had to go through I think there were five, but 137 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.919 don't quote me on that, five different little turnstyle things 138 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.519 where you had to scan the ticket. One person walks through, 139 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.000 scan the ticket, one person walks through. I'm standing there, 140 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.080 I scan, I'm giving orders, I scan, I'm giving orders. 141 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.480 We screwed it up four times on the way in. 142 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.960 Four times someone was enlisting, someone walked and walk fast enough. 143 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.039 Someone tried to double it. Four times. That's just scanning 144 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.919 a ticket to get in the mp higher State building. 145 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.080 Now I want you to listen to the United States 146 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.440 military and their operation they just pulled off. Here's Raisin Kin. 147 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.639 This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreete precise, 148 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.799 and conducted during the darkest hours of January second, and 149 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.480 was in the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal. 150 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.320 An extraction so precise it involved more than one hundred 151 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.480 and fifty aircraft launching across the Western hemisphere in close coordination, 152 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.600 all coming together in time and place to layer effects 153 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.519 for a single purpose to get an interdiction force into 154 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:47.960 downtown Caraclus while maintaining the element of tactical surprise. Let 155 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.480 me talk a little bit about the preparation. After months 156 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.159 of work by our intelligence teammates to find Maduro and 157 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.960 understand how he moved, where he lived, where he tried, 158 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.480 what he ate, what he wore, what were his pets? 159 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.320 In early December, our force was set pending a series 160 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.799 of aligned events. The force included F twenty two's F 161 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:19.200 thirty five, F eighteen's EA eighteens, E two's B one 162 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.399 bombers and other support aircraft, as well as numerous remotely 163 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:28.159 piloted drones. As the force began to approach Caracas, the 164 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.919 Joint Air Component began dismantling and disabling the air defense 165 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:39.200 systems in Venezuela, employing weapons to ensure the safe passage 166 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.159 of the helicopters into the target area. We arrived at 167 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.360 Maduro's compound. 168 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.960 He goes on for another minute. I'm going to let 169 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.120 him go. This is amazing. 170 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.360 At one one am Eastern Standard time or two to 171 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.759 one am Caracas local time, and the apprehension force descended 172 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:03.159 into Maduro's compound and moved with speed, precision, and discipline 173 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.320 towards their objective and isolated the area to ensure the 174 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.639 safety and security of the ground force while apprehending the 175 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.440 indicted persons. On arrival into the target area, the helicopters 176 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.679 came under fire, and they replied with that fire with 177 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.679 overwhelming force and self defense. One of our aircraft was 178 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.200 hit but remained fliable, and as the President said earlier today, 179 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.720 all of our aircraft came home. Maduro and his wife, 180 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.840 both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by 181 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.960 the Department of Justice, assisted by our incredible US military 182 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.919 with professionalism and precision, which with no loss of us life. 183 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.200 I am so nerding out right now we continue on, 184 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:54.039 we'll talk about bigger picture things next, says Jesse. 185 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.000 Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday. 186 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.840 Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to be here. Remember, yes, 187 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.240 I'm back. You can email me Jesse at Jesse kellyshow 188 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.919 dot com. Your love, your hate, your death, threats, your 189 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.279 history suggestions which you keep sending in. I haven't decided 190 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.240 on one yet. We'll get to all that stuff in 191 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.399 a little bit. A couple more things really quickly on 192 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.279 the military operation, and then we'll discuss the reasons why 193 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:25.879 and the potential pitfalls and things like that. First, we're 194 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.360 all flesh and blood, human beings. And when it comes 195 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:36.320 to a military operation, what's the thing we love the most? 196 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.679 The Delta Force guys, the Navy seals, but this was 197 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.080 Delta Force. But the guy, the big, the big tough 198 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.360 guys with the guns. Every dude in the back of 199 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.879 his mind secretly kind of wants to be that guy, 200 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.600 thinks maybe he could have been that guy. Every woman 201 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.600 in the back of her mind has thought, I'd like 202 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.080 to go on a date with that guy. It's human nature. 203 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.600 It's human nature. They do all the cool stuff, they have. 204 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.320 The cool stuff's human nature, and they deserve all the 205 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:11.559 credit in the world. However, remember there are so many 206 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.120 things that go into an operation like this, things that 207 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.399 we never think about. Raisin Kin talked about the intelligence gathering. Remember, 208 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:27.200 before any Delta Force guy gets to fast rope out 209 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:31.080 of a helo under the roof of a compound, long 210 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.960 before he gets to do that, there's another guy. There's 211 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.480 another girl on the ground writing down when Maduro leaves 212 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.799 for work where he likes to eat breakfasts, and that 213 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:50.039 person if caught in a hostile foreign country, well, Venezuela's 214 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.159 famous for their torture. Now you realize that, like any evil, 215 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:59.799 disgusting communist regime, when they get their hands on you, 216 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.360 not like it. Think about the bravery that takes to 217 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.960 be sitting in the woods outside of Maduro's compound watching. 218 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.759 Maybe you've chosen to become a CIA asset or any 219 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.639 one of the other intelligence gathering agencies we have, and 220 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.159 you're a Venezuelan. You've chosen to work with them. You 221 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:29.840 risk everything for that. Now, let's set that aside. Let's 222 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.559 not ignore the pilots, not just not just the fancy 223 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:40.279 top gun stuff. Helicopter pilots. You know how brave it 224 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.960 is to be in a helicopter. You ain't moving that fast. 225 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:50.919 Low people firing machine guns up at you. You know 226 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.399 you are one RPG in the tail rotor away from 227 00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:01.279 dying in a burning blaze on the ground at night 228 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:08.240 in hostile territory. It takes a tremendous amount of guts 229 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.840 to go do things like that. And as I said, 230 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.960 the Delta Force guys deserve all the credit in the world. 231 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:21.360 Make sure we take a moment of appreciation to realize 232 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.480 there's a lot of people, a lot of people who 233 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:30.440 risked dying to go pull something like that off, hard 234 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:34.440 to plan for, hard to pull off in a very 235 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.960 very dangerous thing, to go in at midnight in a 236 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:47.159 hostile land and grab someone. It's impressive. Now, now let's 237 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.600 have a much longer talk than all that. Now that 238 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:55.320 I'm done nerding out, let's talk about the why, because 239 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.399 you know, you're hearing a lot of things like this. 240 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.879 But we're going to be rebuilding and we're not spending 241 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.720 money out of the oil companies are gonna go in. 242 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.200 They're gonna spend money we're gonna take back to the 243 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.679 oil that frankly, we should have taken back a long 244 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.480 time ago. A lot of money is coming out of 245 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.600 the ground. We're gonna get reimbursed for all of that. 246 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.919 We're gonna get reimbursed for everything that we spend. 247 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.480 Okay, you're hearing a lot of things about it's the oil, 248 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.919 it's the drugs, it's it's fatanyl Okay, is that true? 249 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:30.559 Kind of yeah, but that's not the real reason. We'll 250 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.120 talk about the real reason. It is the Jesse Kelly 251 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.399 Show on a Wonderful Monday. Do not forget. If you 252 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.360 missed any part of the show, you can download it. 253 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.720 Iheard Spotify, iTunes, and don't worry. I'm back and I'm 254 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:47.440 not going anywhere for a while. You me, We're gonna hang. 255 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.559 For a while. 256 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:55.960 Now. The why why Venezuela? What is it is it about? 257 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.440 It's about the drugs. There's a lot of talks about drugs. 258 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.480 It's about fed is about the oil. Lots of that 259 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.279 talgets the oil. We need the oil Venezuela. That's so 260 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.519 much oil. Well, there's some of that. Trump kind of 261 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.440 gave it away a little bit when he talked about 262 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.359 this and. 263 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:18.079 The Monroe Doctrine is a big deal, but we've superseded 264 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.680 it by a lot, by a real lot. They now 265 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.799 call it the don Road Document. I don't know, it's 266 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.839 uh Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it. It 267 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.839 was very important, but we forgot about it. We don't 268 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.880 forget about it anymore. Under our new national security strategy, 269 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.920 American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again. 270 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:43.240 Won't happen? 271 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.799 Okay, let's do a little background. Shall we understand what's 272 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.599 happening and why it's happening, and why. If you were Mexico, 273 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:58.240 if you're Columbia, if your Cuba, you are probably having 274 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.680 some sleepless nights right about now. What is the Monroe 275 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.119 Doctrine back in the eighteen hundreds. Don't have to worry 276 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.880 about the nerdy details. We had a president named James Monroe. 277 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.119 That's what it's named after. Before we get to James, 278 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.559 before we get to the Monroe Doctrine, let's go even 279 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:19.759 further back than that. The founding fathers of this country 280 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:26.599 all had European heritage. That's something important to understand. European heritage. 281 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.160 They grew up, they grew up watching something. They grew 282 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:37.440 up watching Europe fighting with each other all the time, 283 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.079 the various countries of Europe always having a squabble about 284 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.440 this or that or this territory. They're always fighting all 285 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.319 the time. If you were to do a military history 286 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.400 show on Europe fighting European countries fighting each other, I 287 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.319 don't think you could fit it in in a year. 288 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.799 It would take that long to get into the endless conflicts. 289 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:05.039 And the found realized that endless wars drain the treasury. 290 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.599 They deprive people of liberty in the end, because you 291 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.200 always have to do something during wartime that deprives people 292 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:16.680 of things. And the Founders realize that as they established 293 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:21.519 this country clear across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe, as 294 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:26.440 they establish this country, something that would completely recap the 295 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:31.079 new country they were establishing would be getting involved in 296 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.759 European wars, really foreign wars in general. Why are we 297 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.279 getting involved? They're always in a fight. It would be 298 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.079 like you that couple you know, maybe you're related to them, 299 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.880 maybe they're neighbors. Maybe that's something that couple you know 300 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.599 who's always having some drama, blowout fight, they're always about 301 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.480 to get a divorce. There always is they're always that 302 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.319 picture you trying to stick your nose in it, or 303 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.039 maybe you do do this every single time Tom and 304 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.720 Susie had a knockdown drag out after too much veno 305 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.440 on a Friday night. What would that mean for you 306 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.960 and your happiness in your life. It would be miserable, 307 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.240 wouldn't it. The Founders had exactly that view about getting 308 00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.720 involved in foreign wars. Their view was, Hey, we will 309 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.519 protect America at all times, we will protect our trade 310 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.279 at all times, we will trade with virtually everyone at 311 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.039 all times. But foreign wars are not our problem. If 312 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.880 you are a nerdy history person kind of like me, 313 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.480 I would invite you. I'm not going to read it 314 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.759 here to read George Washington's farewell address. Look, you can 315 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.720 use it on the Google machine. Look it up on 316 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:47.920 the Google machine, George. It's very short. George Washington's farewell address. 317 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.079 He lays it out that was it was not even controversial. 318 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.599 That was the doctrine for foreign policy in this country. 319 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.799 That brings us to James Monroe. He was president in 320 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.519 the eighteen twenties. Again, the details don't matter. That's what 321 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:08.759 the Monroe doctrine comes from. The Monroe doctrine wasn't necessarily special. 322 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:16.359 It was really just Monroe reasserting what our foreign policy is. Hey, 323 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.640 we are not getting involved in Europe. We're not involved. 324 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.119 The only way we're going to get involved with European 325 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.799 countries is if if they come start some things over here. 326 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:36.000 Now pause, what would they be starting over here? What 327 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:41.960 was Monroe talking about? Well, remember this was the colonial age. 328 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.640 This was the era still on the planet where powerful 329 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.119 countries would find foreign lands that had resources or locations 330 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.880 things they wanted, and they would go conquer them. That's 331 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.440 what colonizing is. Its conquest by other means. Really, yeah, 332 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.799 people are going to die usually, but eventually it works 333 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.599 out depending on the country doing the colonizing. Where you 334 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.960 step in and and you decide, hey, your resources, it's 335 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.400 now they're now our resources. You work for us. That's 336 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:16.680 what colonizing is. This was going on all over the 337 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:20.599 planet at the time, and before that, European countries, some 338 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:25.839 of them hostile to our interests, were still sticking their 339 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.119 nose in countries that were close to US, South America 340 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:34.400 most definitely. The Monroe doctrine was hey, hey, hey, we're 341 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.880 not going to get involved in your stuff over there. 342 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.079 If you start getting involved in our stuff over here, 343 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.039 it's going to be a problem. We're going to have 344 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:50.000 a problem. The Monroe doctrine, essentially, for the one oh 345 00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:56.319 one version, is in our hemisphere, in our neighborhood, we 346 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.960 will not have trouble. You want to throw used time 347 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.039 and things like that in your front lawn across town, 348 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.519 you're welcome to do so. Trash your area. You live 349 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.599 across the street from me, and try that, we're gonna 350 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:15.200 have a problem. Now that brings us to Russia and 351 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.240 China and Iran if we're being honest, but won't focus 352 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:23.319 on Russia and China. For the longest time, this started 353 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.319 really with the Communists, surprise, surprise, the Soviet Union, the 354 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:31.720 Chinese Communist Party. They recognized that South America, really, i'll 355 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.599 just call it Latin America. Latin America was an opportunity 356 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:40.839 for them, not just an opportunity to acquire resources. Latin 357 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:46.079 America presented them with an opportunity to take over governments 358 00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:50.519 because there's so much Spanish colonialism that took place in 359 00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:54.519 Latin America, and the Spanish did colonialism worse than anybody. 360 00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.519 They just sucked at it. They would just go steal 361 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.279 all the gold and abuse everyone, and they just weren't 362 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.240 good at it. And so you had all these disaffected, 363 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.119 miserable people. You had all these unstable, corrupt governments. And 364 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:12.200 China in the Soviet Union at the time, recognized this 365 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.160 is an opportunity for us to not just take power 366 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:20.039 take resources in these places. This is an opportunity for 367 00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:24.079 us to essentially set up shop, set up a fortress, 368 00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:28.680 if you will, right next to our number one enemy, 369 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:33.680 the United States of America. They always hated America. They 370 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.599 always wanted to take down America. And if you're going 371 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.720 to invade, what do you have to do first? You'll 372 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:46.079 have to move next door. And they have spent decades 373 00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:55.319 moving in to Latin America, Venezuela, especially Venezuela's more recent, 374 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.640 but Venezuela is just the best example. It's not just 375 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:05.720 the the fentanyl, the oil. The truth is Russia and 376 00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:12.039 China and Iron. They realize it's extremely beneficial to have 377 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.759 a nice little setup just south of America, just in 378 00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:21.440 case we need such a thing someday. And of course 379 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.559 the oil does matter. I don't want to be dismissive 380 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.839 of that, and it does matter that they're poisoning America 381 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.319 on purpose, with the help of China with endless drugs. 382 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:35.880 So what happened? What are we doing? Well? Things are 383 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.599 changing rapidly on the planet because of the Trump administration. 384 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.519 We'll continue on this next It is the Jesse Kelly 385 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.839 Show on a Magnificent Monday, only ten minutes away from 386 00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.359 Metal of Honor Monday, which I love and I know 387 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:52.920 you love, where we will honor a hero. Do not forget. 388 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.359 You can send us your love, your hate, your death threats, 389 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.079 whatever you would like. Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 390 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.000 I will get to those at some point in time. 391 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.880 I want to finish chopping away at this. So we 392 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.680 have decided, the Trump administration has decided correctly that we 393 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:13.839 are going to start taking back control of our hemisphere, 394 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:20.119 our neighborhood. Why why is Donald Trump talking about things 395 00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.799 like this is ready to fall? 396 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.799 Yes, Cubet looks like it's ready to fall. 397 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.240 I don't know how they if they. 398 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:27.960 Can hold up. By the way, you have to do 399 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.440 something with Mexico. Mexico has to get there pack together 400 00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:35.640 because they're pouring through Mexico and we're gonna have to 401 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:38.880
