Ask Dr. Jesse Friday

I want to begin here with this one, Jesse. I was in my car with my wife when you described the superpower you wish you had to deal with drivers in the slow lane. I've told my wife the very same thing. Living here in the communist state of Colorado. Almost always the offending driver is either driving a Subreu or a Volvo. You know. I love that email and why it made me laugh. My father, God rest his

soul to death. My father used to scream about Subarus every time he would get stuck behind one in Montana. In his mind, the entire every problem on the road was a Subaru driver somewhere. Oh, look at this hippie, probably staring at the mountains instead of actually driving to speed them. I can hear him ranting and raving about Subaru drivers. There's something about him. There's something about him. I don't know what it is. And it's a great car. It's a great car. Honestly, a Subaru outback is a

great car. But there's a type of person who drives that thing, and they're a plague like a black pike. Jesse, how many crayons did you eat as a marine? And how did that stereotype start? The whole marines eat crayons thing? It came from the stereotype that marines are stupid and barbaric nature. And all stereotypes are based on at least some hint of truth. Remember when it comes to the Marine Corps, they you know, it's known as the Few the proud. The Marine Corps is always going to have

worse facilities, no question about it. We get the Army's hand me downs, worse weapons, worse everything. There aren't going to be as many marines. The training is harder than anyone else's. If you've gone through Marine Corps boot camp, this is the only service where it's like that, and you decide you want to switch to a different service. Army, Air Force, Navy, whatever. You don't have to go through anyone else's boot camp because you've already been through the

hardest won. If I was in the Marines and I wanted to go to the Army, they would have just handed me a uniform. But that also attracts a different kind of person. And this is not me. This is not me saying Marines are dumb. It's not that. But why did I join? I joined in part because that was the reputation, Hey, we're tougher, it's tough to do it, tough to make it. Are you tough enough to make it? In part, I joined to see if I was tough enough. Now,

that was very common the Marine Corps. It invites a more rebellious, adventurous spirit, I'll put it that way. A more rebellious type of young man is going to join the Marine Corps somebody with somebody with an interest in, you know, getting some training for a career afterwards. It's not that you can't do that in the Marine Corps. You absolutely can. But if that's really your main focus, really the other branches are going to be better for that.

There's going to be more opportunity in the Army and the Navy and the Air Force. There are going to be better opportunities, better facilities, better food, better it's just going to be better in the other ones. If you kind of want it to suck, then that's going to be the Marines. Now, what kind of person signs up

intentionally for the one that's gonna suck the worst. We're kind a different kind of person, and sometimes little dumb can be not always by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes can be a little dumb to fallow that down to the inevitable road. They say Marines are so stupid they eat crayons, And yes, I've seen buddies do it just out of boredom. It's marines, oracle. I've seen people siloed off more and more in their own ideological camps over the past couple of weeks. I'm guilty of

this too. One camp doesn't think anything is happening because they're not political. The media, elite, street communists are using the momentum to push harder with lies and violence. The third camp is what I assume is us, your audience and others who pay attention. We can see what is happening and try to tell people this is madness. I

don't see how society can come back to together. We live in two different worlds, so what now, Well, we do live in two different worlds, there's no question about that. But don't write off America because we are in the middle of a revolution, a communist revolution. The communist revolution is intended to divide. It is the whole point of it. Is not just the toppling of the government. They need to break up society in order to topple the government. We have a lot of them here. We can't do

anything about that. Now. Well, we could do things going forward, but you can't snap your fingers and I can't snap my fingers and remove the violent, subhuman, demonic street animals who now reside inside of our country. They have been nurtured and nurtured and nurtured for years, and now they're here. It doesn't mean we're finished, but it does mean there are going to be some bumps in the road as we navigate this. And though some of those bumps are

going to be quite painful. I've warned you already. There will be more people who will die. There will there are going to be more assassinations, There's going to be more there's going to be more. It's probably going to get worse before it gets better. But that doesn't mean it's over. As far as the people who are just not political, I'm checked out. Oh it's football season. If norm hasn't woken up yet, there's a good chance he never will, and that sucks. I don't like it. I

don't celebrate it. But it's always been that way. It's always been that way. The people who actually run a country, the people who actually take power and run a country, are generally simply the most committed. I talked yesterday about how many Bolsheviks, how many communists, how communists in general, when they're doing the revolution are a teeny tiny percentage of the country because communism is not popular. You know

how many communists were inside Moscow? Well, how many Soviets were operating during the revolution at the beginning of it. You know how many there were I'm talking committed party members about two thousand, two thousand. It's nothing, but they were committed. And how many people oppose them, same kind of amounts. It's always the committed minorities fighting for control. We just have to make sure we win. We have to make sure we win and you have already. Now

there's more work to do. We always have more work to do. We know we have to be activists. We know we have to take back school boards, we know we have to take back our communities. First. We get all that, but remember we also did the work and got Donald Trump back into the White House. We have Trump in the White House, we have the Senate, we have the House of Representatives. On top of doing the work, we need these people to go full steam ahead and

do what we elected them to do without hesitation. We cannot have this Republican way of thinking, well, what if they do it back to us the next time these communists take power. No matter what you do now, they are going to do far worse than even they did under Joe Biden. Communists only know how to escalate. I'm going to ask you this in case you don't believe me, I'm going to ask you a question I've asked you before.

Do you know any Democrats, as a single Democrat in your life one have they ever expressed the tiniest amount of regret that they arrested the Republican opponent multiple times? Chris is laughing. I've never even heard of a single Democrat who thinks that was wrong. These people are broken beyond belief. They don't think they did anything wrong before. If anything, the lesson they took from it was we didn't go far enough. How could the right ever rise again?

Clearly we didn't smash them hard enough. That's the lesson democrats took. No matter what we do now, they are going to behave like animals the next time they take power. So we have to use this time. We have to take a part the Democrat machine in this country because it is breaking the country apart and creating violent assassins. We have to break it up. We need the Trump regime to do it. We need Pambondi to do it. By the way, some help from the House or Senate

would sure be nice. We cannot play it safe. It has to be full steam ahead, put down the pedal to the metal. We have to go get them now.

better for the country. Why the divergence. Well, I'm not actually going to give you my personal opinion on it, because I don't think that's necessarily what you're asking. Everybody who's ever listened to the show knows I am absurdly pro life and I always will be. I'm never going to waiver on that. But as far as Republicans, why does the Republican Party embrace pro life? Remember we talked earlier in the show. You remember how the Democrat base

is preventing the Democrat Party from moderating. They are now afraid of their base in the Republican Party, the Christian Church, and this applies to all of them. Honestly, this applies to every single facet of the church in America, Protestant, of the Catholics, LDS that it applies to all of them. Is extremely pro life for very obvious reasons. That is a huge part of the Republican voting block Donald Trump, because,

let's be honest, he's not that pro life. He did about as much as you could do to try to walk away from this issue. He had him strip it from the Republican platform and things like that, and he would talk about how there need to be exceptions, and he did about as much as you could do to walk away from this issue. And he who was very obviously personally pro choice, even he pro bortioned. I mean even he would not come out and say, nah, I'm

fine with abortion. I'm totally okay with it. Why because he understood quite well, I can maybe make these people a little mad if I go too far, my base will abandon me. Remember all politics, all politics left right. But it doesn't matter what it is. You are trying to bring in new voters, independent voters that the the wishy, washy voter who votes dis way one day and that way the other day, while at the same time holding

your coalition together, holding your hardcores together. And that is a very very difficult dance, always has been, always will be. How do you hold the base together while.

so it wasn't a threat to me. But we would go we would go to different churches, and there were some churches this is in the Tucson area who would let me speak, or we'd have events where the church group would get together and it would be essentially a fundraising political event. And I cannot tell you how many people I talked to that was their only issue.

you have to understand. For the people who are passionate about it, it's their everything, and they will not sacrifice on it. They simply will not. I'll tell you this right now. You know how much I hate communists. If a Republican, any Republican, actually came out and said I'm pro abortion, I'm not pro life at all, I would never vote for that person. Ever, I don't care if they're running against AOC Jasmin Crockett, now, I wouldn't vote for them. I'm not going to vote for the Communists.

I'll stay home. I will not vote for it. I's and that's me. I say that because that's a common common way of thinking on the right, very common way of thinking on the right.

so there are a few different things that play here. First, there's something about combat in certain areas that doesn't necessarily come across in the movies. It's how hard it is to see sometimes even in an environment where you would think to yourself, you should be able to see. Let's call it the desert. Let's say it's barren that maybe a rock here or rock there, but it's fairly barren.

It's clear, right, you should always be able to see it's clear, until bombs and bullets and everything else starts going off, and soon you can't see. It's dusty, it's smoky, it's this, it's that. So you can find yourself very quickly on top of an enemy, and you didn't see him. He didn't see you in any kind of thickly wooded area, most definitely the jungle. This happened all the time. You can flat out stumble onto him, and it happened more

times than you can count. In jungle warfare situations Vietnam, Japan, and so many others. You can just find yourself, Oh, WHOA here you are. I told you before when we did jungle warfare training in Thailand, we all commented on it. When we spend our time in the jungle doing all these different exercises and sleeping in the jungle, you can't see. It's so thick. Everything is thick with the trees and the fines and the bushes that you cannot see anything.

If you separated in certain situations, if you separated ten yards from your buddy, you might lose him. It's that thick. You're having to hack your way through it with a machete. Well, in situations like that, you can easily run into somebody. And now it's a knife fight, it's a bayonet fight. That's one two weapons themselves. Another thing that doesn't necessarily come across in the movies is how long a magazine actually lasts on full auto. It's not long. It's not

long at all. Chris, would you do me a favorite, because I actually forget, you know, the bar the Browning automatic rifle. Look up how many rounds a magazine took? So in World War Two, for instance, the heavy machine gun. I mean, I know it's called a light machine gun, but it was the heavier weapon than the normal one, heavier than a submachine gun known as a Thompson or the one, the big heavy gun. It's the heavy one that an infantry squad would carry. It was known as

the Browning automatic rifle. It's what it was. That's what you're hearing right here. They carried it with them fully automatic. Do you have any idea how fast that magazine would be over? It's five seconds. Twenty to forty rounds, Chris, just looked it up. Twenty to forty rounds. Twenty to forty rounds. Do the math on this. At five hundred rounds per minute, At five hundred rounds per minute, how

long does twenty to forty rounds last? Not vary? So if you're in a combat situation, let's say let's say you're even fifty yards apart, but you're moving towards him, or he's moving towards you. Do you think you're just gonna be barking with that thing the entire time? Nope. What if you're both moving towards each other, you're closing fast. You could easily find your magazine empty and then not have time to swap out magazines. It's not an instant affair.

So guess what. The k bar is coming out and we're swapping blades. There's another aspect to it, not just the magazine running out. We like to imagine Again, movies do this to us. We like to imagine that AMMO is endless. It's endless for them, it's endless for me. This goes to old westerns where the guy pulls out a six shooter and somehow cooks off twenty rounds with the thing. It goes to war movies. No matter what, he always has another magazine to pull out and slam home.

You know how many magazines we carried. We carried one in our weapon, obviously, and generally four to six out of it. One in it, four to six depending on your load out out of it. You know how fast that goes If I'm in combat, if I run out we're shooting at each other, and I run out. I don't have a I don't have a ward. I don't have an AMMO shop two feet behind me, Hey, can someone give me another six When when you're in combat and you run out, you run out, and now you're

chucking grenades. You're pulling a sidearm if you have it, and if you're close enough, you're pulling out a blade or look a rock an e tool. It's a shovel, a small shovel. You're pulling out what you can. We all in Iraq, we all had various knives. They let us carry whatever knives we wanted from home. My folks got me. My dad got me an awesome little soag knife that was perfect. I had buddies that bag. I mean, their knives were so big. There were almost freaking swords.

Because it was just understood. There may be a time where you're doing it. Now, what Chris just brought up urban warfare. How quickly can you run into somebody? What if your weapon jams again, magazine runs out, he runs out of a room and slams into you if he's touching me. Let's say my weapon is in sixteen, which is the main weapon we carried. That's long. If he has run into me, if we're touching, if he's a foot away and I try to deploy that weapon on him,

I'm probably not gonna make it. I have to honestly, a knife might be a better option at that point in time. If he's a foot away, if I can't separate, What if he has a hold of me, I have straps all over me. What if he has grabbed me and he will have grabbed me and I can't separate.

These are just a few of the examples. It's not as clean and neat, as easy as people make it out to be, and as far as the James Lindsey Medal of Honor citation, and if you miss that, just go download hour two of Monday's show iHeart Spotify iTunes. You'll hear. You'll hear what he did. Guys who run out of AMMO and they strap a band to it

and start charging, there's the fear factor as well. You know that people have gotten in gunfights inside elevators and both guys have unloaded every round without hitting a single shot. Did you know that when you're adrenaline is pumping and you're scared and you're it's easy to simply miss with everything. Now, picture some dude charging at you with a bayonet. Human beings have a unique fear of being stabbed way. It goes way deeper than being shot. It goes way deeper

than being blown up. I have witnessed it. I've told you my fixed bayonets story multiple times from Iraq. You you threaten someone with being stabbed. I don't know exactly why. I can't. I don't know the psychology of it, but it creates an elevated level of fear in people that is palpable. It is palpable, It is different.

situation than in the state of California. Investigators found that more than one in four non domiciled CDLs were issued in direct violation of federal safety standards. Over twenty five percent of these licenses, they were issued illegally.

in the garbage disposal. Then take it out of the garbage disposal once it's blended, and light it on fire and watch it burn and never pull it out again. They're not naive, they don't have misplaced compassion. These people take these positions of power so they can ensure criminals stay in society, hurting you, your daughter, your son, your mom, your wife, your husband, and everyone else. You know. Okay, they are pro crimes.

there so many communists in academia? First, they sought out those positions on purpose, on purpose because it gave them access to your children. That's one, Oh man, I got something caught in my throat. Two, once they get there, they purge anybody who disagrees with them and only hire more of them. Three, this is not This is not meant to be as insulting towards teachers as it as it it's going to sound like, because I know there are so many wonderful teachers, and the good ones do

deserve all kinds of credit. There is a huge difference between having the book knowledge to teach something versus having the real world knowledge to actually do something. Some people possess both skills. Many people do not. Communists never do. They can't make it in the real world, so they find a way to leach tax dollars off of you somehow, like the bloodsucking mooches they actually are. Now, put your phone down. I'm gonna try to be better about that

this weekend. You go enjoy yourself, your family, and I will see you again on Monday. All right, that's all.
