Medal Of Honor Monday featuring U.S. Army Air Force WW2 vet Henry Eugene Irwin

the exact same reason. We have to remember the men and remember the deeds, the men who built this country, who did incredible things. We have to hold them up in front of our children and say, look that that's who you're trying to be, not the latest YouTube star. That is who you're trying to be. And they are forgotten. We don't know these names. They're not celebrated in a widespread fashion in our society anymore. So we take a citation and we read it. You can do this in

your life, and I encourage you to do so. It's not like I have some ownership of it. I didn't do any of these things. Read it to your kids, to your class, to your sports team, you coach, and you might just be surprised. Boys and girls tend to eat this stuff up this time. We've done before, maybe once, but it's been quite a while. This one's saying. Remember you can email love, hate, death threats or suggestions if you have them to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

Mister Kelly appreciate Medal of Honor Mondays as well as the one brave man enough or the one man brave enough to call call them commis and traders a suggestion for Medal of Honor Monday. I remember reading about this and either Readers Digest or Boy's Life over fifty years ago. It's an amazing story, like so many others. Actually, it's also kind of an air Force story, but not really. I'm going to play the Army music for it because it was the Army Air Force back then, so it

would have been the same theme song. But this is US Army Air Force and his name's Henry Irwin, Henry Eugene Irwin, although they all called him red. Just a brief little background on him. He tried to go the pilot route and washed out. That doesn't mean he wasn't tough enough or whatever. It's there are a lot of things you have to have to be a viilot that physically some people simply do not have. But he moved on to become a radio operator, and this was during

World War Two. Remember, flying on a bomber crew in World War Two was a little different, a little different in that it was one of the most dangerous things you could possibly do. When we think about bomber crews today, not that we in any way dog on their service, but today, with the equipment we have, you're doing that above the clouds. You're dropping bombs from above the clouds into a soda can and you're flying away. Back then, it wasn't this way. You were flying low. Fighters could

catch you. It was a dangerous profession, especially if you didn't have a fighter escort and actually read on this mission, did not have a fighter escort, which meant you were all alone. So here he is Henry Eugene red Irwin Hey, honoring those he went above and beyond. It's Medal of Honor Monday. He was the radio operator of a B twenty nine airplane that was a super fortress leading a

group formation to attack Koreyama, Japan. He was charged with the additional duty of dropping phosphorus smoke bombs to aid in assembling the group when the launching point was reached upon entering the assembly, I'll get to that in a moment. Upon entering the assembly, aircraft fire and enemy fighter opposition

was encountered. Among the phosphorus bombs launched by Staff Sergeant Irwin, one proved faulty, exploding in the launching chute and shot back into the interior of the aircraft, striking him in the face. The burning phosphorus obliterated his nose and completely blinded him. Smoke filled the plane, obscuring the vision of the pilot. Staff Sergeant Irwin realized that the aircraft and crew would be lost if the burning bomb remained in

the plane. Without regard for his own safety, he picked it up, and, feeling his way, instinctively crawled around the gun turret and headed for the copilot's window. He found the navigator's table obstructing his path his passage. Grasping the burning bomb between his forearm and in his body, he unleashed the spring lock and raised the table. Struggling through the narrow passage, he stumbled forward into the smoke filled pilot's compartment. Groping with his burning hands, he located the

window and threw the bomb out completely aflame. He fell back upon the floor. The smoke cleared the pilot at three hundred feet pulled the plane out of its dive staff. Sergeant Irwin's gallantry and heroism above and beyond the call of duty saved the life of his comrades. Now I need to just cover a couple quick things upon the assembly area. The assembly area, well, there are little logistical nerdy details that I geek out on. Some people do not. For instance, D Day. You of course know what D

Day is, the Normandy invasion. All those ships, all those troops, all those things on the ships, but there's only so much shoreline. They all didn't just leave at once in one big line. If you dig into it, it's fascinating. They went out into a designated area away from the shore. As the ships would cast off, they'd be away from the shore. And this was pre planned, ahead of time,

pre organized. They started sailing in a big circle, round and round and round, and the circle grew as more and more of the ships would assemble in the assembly area until they were there, and then they would shove off. Fascinating. Right, Well, let's go to air attacks, whether they be from a ship or that was off of the case in the Pacific, or from a base somewhere, no matter what, you want to show up in some place in formation together. Well,

you're not all taking off together. There's only one runway or two runways. You know what I'm saying. What do you do? You have to get to an area at some point, whether that be right away or some point down the road, and you come up with an assembly area, which brings us to why he was dropping the phosphorus smoke bombs. They were smoke bombs, right, But how do you create that much smoke? Something we still use today. We had them in mortars, white phosphorus rounds. They burned

through everything. Now, just a couple more points I want to make here. You already heard he's carrying it. He's burning right when it struck struck him in the face right away. How it said, It obliterated his nose. It also seared his ear right off his body, right off the bat boom, shattered nose, seared ear, plane is full of smoke. It's I believe fourteen fifteen one hundred degrees hot, majorly hot. These planes are not big, even the big

ones are not necessarily big. He's crawling through it with a smoke Fiel bomb burning at fifteen hundred degrees. It's burning him the whole time. He gets to a table that's down, he knows he has to lift it to get by. He cradles it in his forearm against his body.

What you should know and what doesn't come through during the middle of honor citation is as he's cradling the fifteen hundred pound phosphorus bomb to his body, it burns through everything, including all of his flesh, down to his bones. He gets to the neck to the co pilot's window, he throws it out. He falls down, as it said, a flame. His crew members rush him to try to

care for him. Every time they pull back his clothes, the PHO the phosphorus sound like Joe Biden starts to burn again because it burns whenever the oxygen hits it, and you can't stop it. He landed with such severe burns that this Medal of Honor citation. You know how we were talking about how some of them take forty fifty sixty years. It's crazy. He had his rushed Why the second they landed they told about his story of heroism. They rushed his Medal of Honor citation because they were

so sure he was about to die. He was in a hospital, cooked to a crisp, and they were all, hey, we need his medal now, like we don't have tomorrow, we need it right now. They got it approved, got him his medal. The guy lived, went on to serve in support veterans the rest of his life. They grew up poor, lost his father early, but a wonderful Christian man who just wanted to serve others his whole life.

Red was his name. Red who had the fortitude, golly, the freaking pain tolerance of nothing else to hold a fifteen hundred degree bomb burning through his ribs, just to save the other people his crew. And that is why we read Medal of Honor citations on Monday. And before I get back to politics, I asked for a couple, and you sent a couple. I got a couple ghost stories.

Shut up, Chris, we're doing those next. The Jesse is the Jesse Kelly Show, reminding you that to wait, I was about say tomorrow's an ask doctor Jesse Friday that's not true. Friday is an ask doctor Jesse Friday. So it's all look Tomorrow Friday virtually the same thing either way, love, hate, death threats, whatever you want, give me emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. What Chris, You're right, Chris,

I'm a little bit out of sorts. Look, I have to tell you before we get into the ghost stories here and then we'll get back to politics. I have to tell you something that hurt today. It hurt bad. So here's a fact. You're gonna have to take this from the menu Whisper, Mazzarella's or Elite. Everyone knows it. I know it, you know it. Even the health freaks. Now, ah, the sat oils out. Shut up. Everyone likes mozzarella sticks. But mozzarella sticks sticks are one of those things that

it's hard to get them right. You see, As I've said many times before, not to take a sidetrack from my sidetrack. A good A perfect cheeseburger. A perfect cheeseburger is the pinnacle of food. It cannot be beaten by anything. But we'll make it just about pizza. A perfect cheeseburger is better than any slice of pizza. You will ever get. However, a perfect cheeseburger is very hard to come by. Overcooked, undercooked bun isn't right. A slice of pizza doesn't have

to be perfect to be yummy. You can get a slice of pizza that's been under a heat lamp all day long tastes totally fine. You get a burger that's been in that kind of shape, you can't eat it. You can't eat it. Right back to what we were just discussing, there are many, many wonderful appetizers that can be served at any temperature, but the perfect mozzarellistick trumps

all mozzarellisticks. However, they must be consumed during that brief It's about thirty five seconds, that brief window after their molten lava and before they become cold, rubbery trash. You don't have very much time, So I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to Mozzarelli sticks. That's how I know Red Lobster has some of the best in the game. There's another. Don't shake your head, Chris,

there's another place locally. It's a burger joint. But of course the menu whisper caught on at this some time ago. They have amazing mazzarella sticks. I've been getting these for quite some time today Me Jewish producer Chris, producer Cory. We hadn't had this place in forever. I wanted to keep it healthy, so I decided to go there solely for the mozzarella sticks. They're off the menu, not even kidding. I can't even order them anymore. Too many incidents. That's

what happens. Is ghost story time, Hi, Jesse. I've never been interested in ghost stories, scary movies, or anything of the sort. From two thousand and five to twenty seventeen, I worked as a server at a hundred year old family owned restaurant slash wedding venue that had several ghosts. Oh hey you ready. Some would make themselves seen, while others created mischief while staying invisible. I guess that would be the right word. One of them was a man wearing a top hat and a tuxedo. Gosh, I want

a top hat so bad. He was seen many times by several employees throughout the years. The vision of him casually standing in an empty ballroom caused more than one male waiter to shriek like a woman We had one employee, a legit Mexican gang bang gang banger. The guy says he had teardrop stattoo and everything. Who while working late one night on a ballroom renovation, saw the top hat wearing Goes standing in the kitchen. He turned white as a sheet, went back into the ballroom and told the

boss I go home now, Well that's sweet. This might be real, Chris. They go on. Another ghost was an older man in a gray business suit. One late night, I was in our smallest party room laying out supplies for the next day. The room was empty and dark, with only the kitchen light shining through the partially open door. Gosh, I'm so creeped out. The table I was standing at was in front of the mirror, and when I looked up, I could see the gentleman in the suit behind me

on the far side of the room. He was in profile and holding a drink as if he was walking over to talk to another party guest. Again, there was no party and I was the only person in the dark room. I did not stay for a chat. Why does nobody never stay for the chat? Say something? The dude's got a drink, he wants to talk to somebody.

And lastly, the unseen ghosts like to cause mischief, knocking wedding cake plates out of servers hands, knocking empty pots and pans onto the floor in an empty kitchen, pulling the ponytails of female servers, and opening and closing doors at random. Anyway, it was an adventure. I saw and heard things over the years that just cannot be explained with logic or reason. I would tell new employees when they would ask me about the subject. I don't know if ghosts surreal or not, but if they do exist,

we've got them. She didn't say, I could say her name, Chris Corey. Are we anywhere closer believe? I'm trying to believe. I know you don't believe, Chris. I don't believe either, and I want to. Every single thing I read, and you know she's totally genuine. Every single thing I read sounds like a bunch of crap to me. You know, the Mexican gang banger turning totally white as a sheet. That doesn't happen, all right, no matter what, there's a

shade to the skin. What, Chris, I'm talking about physics here or the human body, whatever we're talking about here, that's part of it. Two knocking over wedding cakes. That's a clumsy waitress who's tripping over the wedding cakes, and then coming up with the oh you stolen. And lastly, you're in a dark room with just the light shining through the kitchen. That's the perfect creep out scenario where you're gonna come up with in your mind that there's

a dude there sipping on a drink. But she's you know, she's telling the truth. But I can't, Corey, where are you at?

brown food, then there's no nutrition in it. Dead things are brown. There's a reason the leaves turn that color right before they fall off. They're dying. So why do our dogs die so early? You know that's not the case all around the world, and it hasn't always been the case here. Our dogs die so early because they

don't get nutrition. I sprinkle Rough Greens on Fred's food every single meal, not just because it fixed its digestive issues, which it did, thank you probiotics, not just because it made his coat look better, but because it's going to help that fluffy idiot live longer. And that's what we want. You want to try it free free jumpstart trial bag eight three three three three my Dog or go to Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse keep your dog around longer

or your cat hang on. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, wishing everybody a very married on a beautiful Monday. We are one week away from our nightmare being over one week away, and these people are gonna be gone.

in the United States of America. Right now, I'll get to why I'm concerned in a moment, just a quick recap. It is my belief that we cannot, I don't care how many elections we win, we cannot possibly get this country right and back on the right track unless government people go to prison. Not one or two either, not some patsy government people, lots of them have committed crimes with their positions of power and have to go to prison as an example to other government people to mind

their p's and q's. That is what I believe. Maybe you argue with me, maybe you love that I don't care, but I believe that all the way that I've said, it'll be our canary in the coal mine that America is getting its act together when you start seeing government people go to prison. So why haven't they? Because what I just said you probably agree with. But I'll tell you right now, a lot of people with a lot of power also agree with what I just said. I'm

talking United States senators I've talked to privately. We're having dinner, we're hanging out. Yes, Jesse, these people have to go to prison. Congressmen, not just some freshmen congressman either, congressmen with real power agree, Yes, they have to go to prison. FBI agents, current and former agree with me. Government people have to go to prison, over and over and over again. Spooks, military people, guys. I know, government people. I've told me, yes,

they have to go to prison. So if all these powerful people agree government people have to go to prison, why aren't there any government people in prison? Or I should say not many. Yeah, I realized they'll roll out of Scooter Liberty, Scooter Libery every now and then and blame everything on him. But why have there been no announcements that there's a twenty person staying of government officials who've been caught abusing their Why has it never happened?

Because the Department of Justice is where it must happen. That's where it must come from. You see, last time, which I think was last week, I think it was Ron Johnson I was talking to. I asked Senator Ron Johnson, why are none of these people in prison? And he said, and he wasn't wrong, Jesse. All I can do was refer them to the DOJ for prosecution. From there, even as a United States Senator, all that power, I can't do anything else from there, DJ chooses not to prosecute,

they never get prosecuted. The Department of Justice is the shield protecting the swamp. We like to call it the swamp, or the deep state, or the system, whatever you want to call it. The system is protected by the Department of Justice. So why am I apprehensive about PAMBONDI doesn't make sense because her reputation is excellent. And I've talked to many people I trust you should know, and they've told me she got a great reputation. I think she

might do some good. I've been told that many times before. Okay, well, the Washington Post, they're one of the more evil publications out there. The Washington Post, New York Times, CNN. They could probably have a big old brawl to see which

is the more despicable communist snooze outlet. That's how gross The Washington Post is The Washington Post came out this morning and The Washington Post announced they had some grave concerns about these four Trump nominees four Gabbard, Tulsey, Gabbard, of course, hag Seth, Pete hagg Seth his confirmation hearings tomorrow, r FK Junior and Russ Vatt. Only four, but you know who they weren't concerned with. In fact, they gave

her a thumbs up. Pam Bondy. Now, I don't want to base my criticisms or compliments based on just well, well, let's just do whatever the opposite of Washington Post says. Don't want to base it on just that. So again, I don't want to act like this. At the end of the world, Pam Bondy might end up being a rock star. But Pam Bondy, she has to be more more than a good ag, a Republican ag. She has to be more than that. Pam Bondy must absolutely must see herself as a crusader whose job it is to

go after government people. That is not just some side project. That has to be her main focus. The Washington Post they want the swamp to get swampier, the deep state to get deeper, whatever way you want to put it. They are so dirty, as dirty as it gets gets, with ties to the deep state all over the place. Why is the Washington Post concerned about Pam bond or not concerned about Pambondy. It's not hard to figure out

why they're concerned about Pete Hexseth. Pete hex Seth has been very vocal about his intention to shake things up at the Pentagon, to completely gut the military of so much of this Marxist filth. Pete haig Seth has been loud and proud about that. The Washington Post said, oh, Man, I can't have that. Tauca Gabbard. Tauca Gabbard has loudly talked about the evil abuses of our intelligence and law

enforcement agencies. Taulca Gabbert herself was put on a domestic terrorist watch list because she got crossways with the President of the United States.

from both him and his attorney general. You'll remember when when his attorney general said, you know anyone who holds extreme mystery.

Post gives her a thumbs up. Let's talk about the DOJ. Here was Andrew Weisman on MSNBC.

Before we do some emails, let me tell you about these disgusting smoothies of makes every single morning. They are so foul because they're so full of all this healthy are we just got kale and all this other garbage, And besides the chocolate powder that goes in there, there's nothing else in there that is even decently tasting. So how do I get it down? Well, it has to be blended completely. That's the only way I can plug my nose and gut down this big ball of vegetable filth.

And that's where the obliterator from Chefman comes in. The Obliterator is the greatest freaking blender ever. It's built to handle twenty years of daily use, twenty years, and it looks good. Bob keeps nothing on the counter, as I've told you, I'm not allowed to keep the stupid toaster on the counter. But the Obliterator never moves. It looks good, it's affordable, and it's the only thing that can grind

down that disgusting smoothie into being something that's palatable. Go freaking get one Chefman dot com, c H E, FMA and dot com. We'll be back. You're listening to the ourcle. You love this one. It is the Jesse kellysha on What's in It Again on a Friday, On a Monday. It's been a medal of honor Monday. Remember you can if you missed any part of the show, you can down the whole down the whole thing on Iheartspotify, iTunes. You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

That's if I actually get through the show anyway. Your freedom is not free, Jesse. I'm sure, I'm sure you've addressed this on your radio show. In recent days. I found out there's a partition petition circulating for La Mayor Karen Bass to resign immediately and be replaced with a solid man of courage like Larry Elder or someone like that. If you haven't already, you talk about this on your show. Okay, so listen. I have a couple of things I want

to talk about when it comes to these things. Hey, there's a recall, Hey there's a resign, this and that one. I don't dog on anyone's political efforts because I belie leave everything matters. I hate when people on the right do this. They'll point to what this guy's doing and say, ah, that's stupid, it's not enough. You should do what I'm doing. Or they'll point to what this woman's doing and say,

I don't like that, you should do this instead. No, the communists come at political problems from every possible angle, every angle you can get. So if you're involved politically, maybe you feel hard, Maybe you feel called to run for office, run for office good. Maybe maybe you don't feel like that you're calling. I've told you my mom My mom is with this wonderful group of ladies from their church political activists up there in Montana. They they

send letters on behalf of candidates. They put addresses on letters, they send out mailers, they knock on doors. That's what they feel called good. We have people who listen to this show and many who don't, but they write political music, the people who make political movies. There are people who just donate financially. Maybe you got a lot of money, but I don't dog on your political activism. Just be active. Our problem is not that people are doing the wrong things.

Our problem is we haven't woken up enough people to do anything. That's our problem. Now that's it. The solution to problems in these blue areas really all the country, but we'll make it about the blue areas for now. The solution is not getting the current loser to resign or be recalled. Very similar to my anti term limits argument. The solution is not to have some law or some trigger or some recall petition bounce one of these losers out of office. That is a temporary fix. That's like

fire out. You have a massive brain tumor and instead you just take ibuprofen for the headache. Well, where's that get you? Gets you a few hours of relief, but you're still in trouble. Jack. The problem in these areas is people aren't waking up owning the political decisions they've made and deciding they're going to do things differently in the future. Back to what the LA Times owner says.

you run into this in your life. I know I've run into this in my life when I've had bad periods of time in my life or lows in my life, which I certainly have as you have. We all have ups and downs. That's kind of what life's about. Peaks and valleys. Virtually every single one of my valleys has

been my fault. And you know what's been very very consistent during every one of my valleys, During every one of them, at the beginning of the valley, I will blame everybody else but me, and probably not coincidentally, about the time I stop doing that and start owning my own decisions and my own mistakes, I come out of the valley and I improve myself. This must take place in mass across the United States of America with people

who are watching their complex systems crumble around them. You see, I'm all down for throwing all the monkey poop you want, you know, not literally, but throwing all the monkey poop you want at Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden and these guys suck, and I hate him, and let's recall him. A fine, fine, fine, make fun of them, get him to resign. But replacing Karen Bass with the next diversity higher is not a solution at all. You

didn't solve a single thing in New York City. Some woman gets torched alive by an illegal Are the people of New York City going to own that and decide going forward? They're going to vote differently so that kind of thing doesn't happen again. That is the only way to save New York City and Los Angeles wildfire destroying the city, huge neighborhoods. People are sick over it. They've lost family members, friends, homes, pets, devastation, financial devastation too,

not just loss of life. And they've watched everyone from the governor to the mayor do nothing about it but make excuses, pass to blame. Okay, it's bad, it's bad. It's bad. But whose fault is it those people are there? Okay, look not saying that to just, you know, to be glib about it. Whose fault is it those people were there? It's everyone who voted Democrat. Are the people who voted Democrat going to stop doing that from now on? That's really the only thing that matters. Go ahead, get Karen

Bess to resign. Fine, the not like I'm cheering for. I can't stand her. Get her to resign. That's no solution. The solution, the real, lasting solution, is making sure the voters change their behavior.
