Medal Of Honor Monday featuring U.S. Army Korean War vet. First Lt. Lloyd Leslie "Scooter" Burke

in the United States of America. I'll explain who that is. Donald Trump says, the pardons, Joe Biden signed, or Noll and Void will discuss all that the Democrats are crazy and so much more. Coming up on The Jesse Kelly Show. But you know what time it is. It is our two on Monday. The start of our two on Monday means we are about to do Medal of Honor Monday for you new listeners. We just take a Medal of Honor citation and we read it. That's it, nothing special

about it. You can do it at home, you can do it with you can do it at your work, do it with your class, your sports team. Everybody likes to hear these stories, everybody, and it's important that we hear these stories. It's one of those rare things that not only is it good, it's good for you. I'm like vegetables, which are disgusting, but they're good for you. You understand what I mean. It's healthy. We want to hold these people up, hold their deeds up. We should remember

these names. This one I'm about to read here. Honestly, I don't know how it's not a movie. I'm really floored that it's not a movie. But it's not a movie. And that reminds you of Let me remind you of this before I read the Medal of Honor citation for a Leslie Burke. Officially his name is Lloyd Leslie Scooter Burke, but they called him Leslie Burke. Remember, if you know a Korean War veteran. These guys are starting to get

old too. But if you know a Korean War veteran, I realized that war doesn't get all the play of World War II. Of course nothing does. It doesn't even get near the play of Vietnam. I get that too. If you know a Korean War veteran, that person very likely has seen some things and been through some things on behalf of his country. The last time I watched a Korean War documentary, and I've seen several, virtually every

one of the old timers they had on there. When he'd start talking with his hands hands, you'd realize, oh wow, he doesn't have fingers on that hand. Oh look, this guy lost his nose. The Korean War guys saw some things, and this dude here is something special. Before I read it. I wanted to let you know this before Leslie Burke did what I'm about to explain to you. He did. He was on his way home. And when I say on his way home, he had a wife, a child, is a family man, and he had a plane ticket

in his pocket on his way home. And then he did this.

a hill. Okay, it's called Hill two hundred, don't worry about that. But they're trying to get up a hill. They're dying. Dashing to an exposed vantage point. He threw several grenades at the bunkers, then, returning for an M one rifle and adapter, he made a a loan assault, wiping out the position and killing the crew. Closing on the center bunker, he lobbed grenades through the opening, and with his pistol killed three of its occupants, attempting to surround him by the way. He shot all three in

the forehead. Ordering his men forward, he charged the third emplacement, catching several grenades in mid air and hurling them back at the enemy. Inspired by his display of valor, his men stormed forward, overran the hostile position, but were again pinned down by increased fire. Securing a light machine gun and three boxes of ammunition, First Lieutenant Burke dashed through the impact area to an open knoll, set up his gun.

Stop you don't have to stop at Chris. But he peeked over this knoll and saw there was a trench full of Chinese troops. That's when he ran back down to get the gun with a bunch of ammo, and went and set it up anyway. First Lieutenant Burke dashed through the impact area to an open knoll, set up his gun, and poured crippling fire into the ranks of the enemy, killing approximately seventy five. Although wounded, he ordered for more ammunition, reloading and destroying two mortar emplacements in

a machine gun position with accurate fire. I should note at this point in time the barrel of his machine gun is scorching hot and you really can't grab it. So he wrapped I believe it was a piece of wet cloth around it, and then did this, cradling the weapon in his arms. He then led his men forward, killing some twenty five more of the retreating enemy and securing the objective. First Lieutenant Burke's heroic action and daring

exploits inspired his small force of thirty five troops. His unflinching curry and outstanding leadership reflect the highest credit upon himself, the infantry, and the US Army. He thought he was gonna die, didn't you when I told you he was going home to his wife. See, Chris thought he was going to die. Don't be such a cynic, Chris. He did not die. And just a couple more words on Korea. I want to move on because we have so much we have to talk about. I'm not gonna do a

bunch of history and stuff like that. If you start reading books about Korea, and you should, and there's so many great ones out there, so many great ones. Remember this is pretty close after World War Two, and it will strike you when you start reading about Korea. How many guys, how many of the Lions of Korea were guys just like Burke. Burke was in World War Two.

The World War Two salty vet who went and saw more horrible blood and guts than any one human being should oftentimes would volunteer to go back and fight in Korea. And they would walk into Korea, these guys, and they were just studs. They were just There are so many story stories of these Korean guys who fought in World War Two and you could tell that dude, he's just a warrior. Now, that's that's what he is. And it's awesome, but it has also saddened me every single time I

read about it. When you got a guy who survived World War Two and he comes back and he dies in Korea, I know, it's always like all that death is always sad, right, you never stand up in cheer woo who he died. It's always it's always sad when we lose our best and our brightest and our bravest. It's horrible. But there's just I don't know, he got out right, he did it, and he never had a thing to prove to anyone else. You survive World War

two and you're victorious, and you come home. You don't have anything to do but bragg the pretty girls the rest of your life until you find one to marry. Hey, I thought it. You just life's fine, Right, You're finally you're you're safe. You're back in Arkansas. You're burke, You're back in Arkansas. Go enjoy yourself. But America needed them again, and they stepped up and went back and fought in

some of the most vicious, miserable fighting. Outnumbered the entire time, especially once the well not the entire once the Chinese got involved. We were always out numbered in that place. We were always fighting the elements in that place. The frost bite, the misery at the leadership at our highest levels was just putrid. That was why MacArthur got relieved

at one point in time. Can you imagine how bad does it have to be for Douglas MacArthur, American hero, not my favorite guy, but Douglas MacArthur gets relieved of his command. Is how bad it was. And those lions just went and did it. I've always admired it. I think it's awesome. All right, let's talk about this houthy stuff. We're going to talk about the most discriminated group in America, and so much more still to come in. Yes, I'm gonna get to emails and things. Before I get to that,

let me talk to you about my meat. Don't know why you shake your head, Chris? Is it because my meat's superior to yours? It's okay, you can be honest. I have an IQ Sense, And if memory serves me, you don't have an IQ sense, do you, Chris? You know you can make perfect brisket every time, perfect chicken every time, perfect steak every time. Even Chris can do it. Everyone can because iq Sense is a wireless cooking thermometer

created by Chefman. You put it in, you know, just like any other meat thermometer, except you put it in read at the beginning, and when you put it on the grill, we're in the oven or on the smoker. I use mine mainly on my smoker. You leave it in and it connects to the app on your phone, and you always know what the temperature is, and you can even set the desired temperature on it, and it'll tell you when it's done. You don't even have to look. You'd sit there, go watch TV and your phone will

let you know, Hey, Britz gets done. Perfect every time because you're cooking the temperature every single time.

Miss Something is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.

need to be heard. So just bear with me a moment, and we're going to talk about discrimination and how disgusting it is. You see, I had to go to Florida this weekend. It was Saturday. It was for business, not pleasure. I couldn't even bring Ob and the boys. It was a quick trip. We go out to dinner on Saturday night. Nothing super fans. It was by the water. Though it was nice, but it was just cheeseburger joint. And this cheeseburger joint they had a cheeseburger that had beer cheese

on it. I like a good beer cheese, and like any red blooded American, I ordered the beer cheeseburger. But I assumed naturally that it was going to come with a shortage of beer cheese, if you will. And plus it came with fries, so I wanted to dip those in some beer cheese as well, especially if the beer cheese is thegit. So I told the waiter, I said, hey, I want the cheeseburger. Please hold the lettuce and tomato. By the way, I'm tired of having to do that,

but once again, lettuce and tomato, beer cheeseburger. Hold the lettuce and tomato, and I'd like an extra side of the beer cheese. Guy says, okay, writes it down. I watched him write it down. I watched him write down the extra beer cheese. We wait for a while. I'll be this half hour. Forty five minutes burger came. You think it had the beer cheese with it. The extra beer cheese, of course, don of course, don me I love sauces. All sauces doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter

what it is. It's not just you know, ranch or this or that. When I'm when I'm in a place, especially if I get fries or something, I usually will ask the weight or waitress, or I'll look at the menu, did you have like a sauce. I don't care look at it. It's a barbecue sauce or some sort of a good hot sauce. I would I want to sauce. I'm gonna. I want to. I wanna dip my fries to something like that in a sauce. I'm a sauce man, and I ask for a side of sauce all the time.

Never comes. It doesn't matter that maybe you're thinking this restaurant wasn't high end enough. I ask for a side of sauce no matter where I'm ordering, and nine out of ten times at least it might be greater than that. It might be ninety five out of one hundred. They do not bring the sauce when they bring the meal. Sauce. People like me are the most discriminated against group in the United States of America. What Chris, It's true. It's and honestly, we had this discussion at dinner, and I

might do it. I swear on my life I might do it. It's not going to be soon, and I'll have to figure it out. I am considering going undercover as a customer in various restaurants in recording it, just to get to the bottom of why don't you bring me my sauce? Do you think when I asked for the ranch? When I asked for the ranch, did you think I was kidding? Did you think it was just kind of a not important because you don't like it. Or maybe it's not the waiter. Maybe it's not the waitress.

Maybe is it the chef, But that wouldn't make sense because I wouldn't think the chef would be in charge of the side of the sauce. Maybe there's some sort of a manager assists that is, somebody blocking you from bringing me my sauce? Does the sauce cost money? Is that it is that? It? Is it a money thing? I'll pay for my sauce on my lefe You want to throw fifty nine cents or something like that on there to bring me aside a barbecue, I'll pay fifty nine cents I always keep spare change in my car.

All I want is my sauce, and I don't understand why you won't bring it to me. I've asked, and I've asked, I've begged, and maybe you think I haven't been emphatic enough. You don't understand. I've actually stopped them before when my temper reaches peak level. I've stopped them before and said, okay, So just so you know, I really do want that blue cheese. Okay, So I really do. I want the blue cheese, and get this. I swear on my life. The next morning, we had another quick

business meeting before we flew home. I flew home yesterday. We had a meeting in my buddy's room and we didn't have time. We were running through things and we had to order room service. And I ordered room service, and I ordered it, and I got chicken wings, and I asked for blue cheese. In fact, I asked for extra blue cheese. Oh, just to confirm, she even read it back to me, blue cheese, extra blue cheese. The order shows up. They didn't bring one, not a single one.

And they do the same thing they do in the restaurant. Oh, did you want blue cheese. I'll go back for that. And there I sit for twenty freaking minutes while the chicken wings get old, get cold with no blue cheese. Why won't you bring me my sauce. All I want is some sauce. I'm not asking for the world. I'll pay what Chris what it is. And Chris said he didn't realize discrimination was so ugly. But now you know, Powe, Now you know. Now you know what it's like to

be a minority. Okay, now you know what it's like to be treated like a second class citizen. If you're a sauce person in this country, you have been discriminated against unfairly. And I'm to tell you I can't I can't promise you the world. I'm gonna fight for you, all right, all right, let's talk about the hooties next. The Jesse Kellyshow dot com. The Jesse Kellyshow dot com. That's stupid, although no, actually that's a great website. It's

my favorite website. It's the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember, you can email the show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. I'll get to those emails in a moment and by the way, Chris, what have I told you about playing Cream? About playing Cream sucks? It doesn't make sense that Cream sucks because you took these wonderful musicians and you combine them in one group. But that song Sunshine of Your Love sucks, Chris, it does it does nothing. You know

what I have time for you right now? I'm gonna talk about the Hooties or who Thy's or I don't care how you say their stupid name. So here's what's happening Yemen. It's this god forsaken dump. Don't worry about it. You don't ever want to go there. Just know that it is probably the terror hotbed of the world. There's so much Islamist activity there. I mean radical jihad types, not talking about just regular run of the mill islam

I'm talking jihad hardcore types. You have a sea of poverty stricken young men who are ripe to be recruited into that kind of hateful nonsense. It's all bad, it's all really, really, really bad. And there's this group there called the Hooties. Now they are backed by Iran. So remember that that's going to be important for the purpose of our conversation here. Just to kind of explain what's going on and why it's going on. They have been doing what they do for a very long time. Probably

you'd call them a terror group, and they are. I mean they are, but I want to make sure I clarify there there are different types of terror groups out there. Meaning Isis is gonna send guys into Europe wearing a suicide vest. That's the way it's gonna be. Al Kaeda. Look, I don't have to tell anybody in America al Qaida is going to send their troops abroad to go do horrible evil things like like the towers and things like that.

That's there are terror groups like that. But then there are other more more regional groups or groups that are focused on different things. Hamas actually is a good example of this. Now, yes they're ravenous dirt balls, but they really kind of stick mostly over there. The UTIs are just like this. Now. They hate Israel and they hate America. It's part of their public statement in case you're wondering,

they hate us. That's just what they believe. Only they've taken that hatred in recent years and they've caused incredible problems for established legitimate countries like US. They're attacking shipping lanes. Now here's where we have to pause for a moment, because it's oftentimes very very difficult to make people understand that. And I'm not saying that I have some unique knowledge on it. But what I have is this old man fascination with shipping. So let's pause for a moment. Don't

shake your head, Chris, I can't help myself. I find shipping modern and ancient. I find it to be endlessly fascinating. You're lucky. You know how you like when I do history. Well, half of you do, half of you despise it, but you know how you like when I do history. You are lucky that I have never done a serious hour long, two hour long history thing on shipping, because I would. I only don't be for your sake. You should know

that for your sake. I find it fascinating how goods are produced in one country and then they're shipped to other countries. I've always found it fascinating. And we could go all the way back to sailing ships, how they had to play the currents and they were trying to find different routes, and the Horn of Africa. You've got Magellan and Columbus and the Age of Exploration, and so much of that stuff was simply about shipping. Hey we

make this here, we want to ship it there. Hey we want that thing they have there and we want to ship it here. I find shipping to be fascinating. And it's not just the ship portion, which I love, the logistical portion of it. I just mentioned we were down in Florida, and Florida obviously it's on the water where we were, and they have these gigantic crane like things that are made to load and unload these huge boxes onto the container ships. Is this not the nerdiest,

most olbeient thing. I could sit and watch that all day. I think it's so fascinating. They load and on, just the goods and services and logistics moving back and forth. I find it fascinating. Okay, so anyway, I only set all that to try to explain it's not a small deal. If the few shipping lanes on a planet, if any one of the few are shut down, it is a monumentally big deal. And until you understand how many ships are going to and fro, you can't really understand why

it's such a big deal. And when you look at the various shipping lanes. It's part of the reason Trump wants the Panama Canal back. You realize that we built it, but it's more than just that. The Panama Canal was built because we need it a way through. Otherwise you're going around South America all the way down and around. So we built it, and now that critical route through the freaking Chinese control it. You can go look at the signs. There's freaking Mandarin printed on the signs down there.

Did you know that's what chap's Donald Trump, We built it, and you handed it to the Chinese, No, sir. So anyway, shipping matters a lot, and shipping lanes matter a lot. The Houties know this. Really, anybody who's kind of boned up on any of that stuff they know this, and so they have four years focused on destroying shipping through the Red Sea. Now this has already cost American lives. They're not I don't want you to think of these people as if they're Somali pirates though that's where some

of the confusion comes in. These people are not dirt balls on rubber rafts and rusted AK forty seven's cruising up to a cargo ship. You know, it's not that at all because they are backed by Iran. Because they are backed by a modern military Iran. I mean it's modern. It's not ours, but it's modern. They have missiles, nice ones, capable ones. They have drones, lots of them, and they're getting more. They have shut down much of the shipping

through the Red Sea. Trump administration gets into office and they had to reverse yet another thing the moronic Biden administration did. The Biden administration got into office knowing what the Hooties were, and they took them off the highest level of being a terrorist group, of global terrorist group, almost immediately they took them off. It's it doesn't make any sense, but they did it. Trump gets in puts

them right back on. That gives them, gives us the justification for what started over the weekend and what is ongoing as we speak. There are probably things being blown up. The United States of America has really, for lack of a better way to put a declared war on this terrorist group, and we are currently bombing them to smithereens Now, I kind of gave you that whole rundown of the story just to say this, if you are somebody who

is concerned about the military industrial complex. Stand in mind, so am I. If you are somebody who is concerned that we always seem to find a justification to bomb somebody which keeps the military industrial complex in the money, I'm concerned as well. I share those concerns of yours. I do, however, protecting the shipping interests of the United States of America. It's actually one of the most important jobs of the United States Navy. Did you know that?

That's like half the reason the founders were so emphatic about having a good navy. That's why you want a great navy. It's not just to fight wars against other countries. You protect your shipping. You protect the economics of your country. All I'm gonna say, and we're gonna do some emails. You You could argue that using our troops, our navy to fight back against people threatening our shipping is the most justified military action this country's taken in two decades.

You could argue it, all right, all right, we'll do some emails before we get to this Biden auto pen signature stuff for the pardons and everything else. Before we get to those things, let's talk about pure Talk for a moment, speaking of the troops. You know when Pure Talk gives back because they do. Yeah, all these all corporations give back, and you can tell everything about a corporation and by who they give to. If you have Verizon AT and T or T Mobile, I would encourage you,

don't off take my word for anything. Go look up the causes those companies give to. Then go look up Puretalk and tell me if you think you should switch. They're on the same five G network and they give back to veterans, getting vets back on their feet. They're so American, they hire Americans. It's cake to switch. Takes ten minutes. You keep your phone, keep your number or get a new one dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly. Take you ten minutes. It's cake, pound

two five zero, say Jesse Kelly. We'll be back.

you think about it. I kept stopping in the middle of it to give context because I want to be able to I want to be able to tell it the way it should be told. But I almost feels like maybe it was disrespectful to stop in the middle of it, and that's why I've never done it. But this time, like they were missing key plot points. What, Chris, what I think I should stick with telling it after the Medal of Honor. Yeah, I think you're right. I

don't think I'll do that again. But then then I'm telling it after and then you missed it the whole time I've had it doesn't make it more impressive. Then you have to go back and remember the story that I just told, and you're trying to remember what. I don't know. I'm gonna bat that around. I can't decide. My only concern. I'm not worried about it being your good radio or whatnot. I know it's great radio. Quit Chris, I'm just concerned about being disrespectful. That's my thing. I

don't want it to be disrespectful by screwing up the citation. Whatever. Maybe they shouldn't screw up the citation. Tell us more what the dude did. Hey, Jesse, I'm big into Roman history like you. I heard you summarizing France's wartime history on your show. You did mention the Franks, but I was surprised you didn't mention the Gauls. In fact, France was called Gaul before it took the name France. Gall was one of Rome's greatest enemies. For a long time.

It's been said what Caesar did to Gaul would make Hitler blush in terms of the massacre as Caesar did. I hope you can go into some more history today. Love listening to the show while I'm driving to work. Take care. Okay, So I guess because he's right. When I was talking about France's military history, I did not bring up Gallic France. I did not bring up Gaul, And I'm not sure how I feel about that because I had a reason, and I'll just explain to you

my reasoning. Do you consider Gaul to be part of the Nation of France, meaning the nation state. But well, let me ask you. Next year is twenty twenty six. Do you consider that to be the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of America? As most people do. The Indians were here, really cool. Indian tribes were here and tough ones all over the country. Man from the Iroquois to the Comanche to the crowd look more than I can. It's really cool.

America's military history? And if you did, I'm not judging you, by the way, if you did, but I don't think I would, because we weren't a country yet, We weren't officially a country yet. There were different tribes you mentioned Gallic France Gaul. What Gaul was the furthest thing away from United There were all kinds of different tribes with different customs. In fact, that's part of how Caesar was able to take it when he was far far outnumbered

by the total number of troops in Gaul. He was always outnumbered, but he was able to exploit this tribe and its hatred of that tribe and get some on his side and some who hated him, and some here and some there. I'm only explaining my reasoning, but I'm also not saying I'm right. You know, so much of history is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't consider Gallic France to be France quite yet. But then again, I guess if I'm gonna consider the Franks, that wasn't

quite franch yet either. It was just ended up. You decide, I mean, you decide for yourself. I'm not saying you decide for me. But that's my reasoning. I'm not saying why you do. Back to his actual subject, though, remember this, the American Left has, in their effort to destroy and be smirch everything about America. The American Left pretends as if, starting with Christopher Columbus and moving right along as if America is the only place that has subjected tribal peoples

the entire world, every last tidbit of it. There were tribal peoples who were then subjected conquered by a more powerful, more sophisticated country. In Australia, they had the Aborigines. Yeah, I get it. Doesn't skin color or religion or whatever, none of these things matter at all. I know. I know your college professor told you that the saintly Native Americans they were the only ones who were repressed by these evil, evil Americans. But that's not true at all.

That's the entire history of the world. Australia had their Japan had theres Did you know that. You know, part of the reason Samurais have that cool looking armor they have is because they were fighting these tribal peoples who were tough as nails, and they're having a hard time getting their hands on them because they couldn't ride horses as well as they could as well as the tribal peoples could, and they had to adapt. China had to hack it out from tribal peoples. Russia had to it

out from tribal people's Gaul. The UK thought the UK of Britain, the England has sick ones. Well they had amazing ones back then, wild ones. You know all that King Arthur's stuff, which I realized is a legend, but it's all. They were all tribal peoples who were not unified enough and technologically advanced enough to stop a more powerful, more technologically advanced country from coming in and taking what

they have. And as one little dark note before we move on to Joe Biden's fake signatures, that future awaits us all one days. Just how the world works, there will be a day. It won't be for a long time, you won't be alive for it, but there will be a day when we are so broken down, wrought it out, that some bigger, tougher country is going to come in here and they're going to take this place from us. That's how the world works. This has been a podcast from wor
