This is an IHeart podcast.

This is the Jesse Kelly Show.

It is the Jesse Kelly show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly show on a wonderful,

fantastic Tuesday. And like we do from time to time, not all the time, not often. We're driving

the show off the rails tonight. No more politics, at least for this hour.

I'm going to try to get it all done tonight. I don't know how long it will take me.

But we are going to do the history of the Comic-Cosia in World War II, per your request.

It was overwhelming how many people wanted to talk about this and learn about this.

So if you missed last night's third hour, that is a good primer to get where we are now.

You don't need it, but it would help.

And it's free.

Iheart Spotify, iTunes, go download that, listen to it. I'm not going to cover all the background again of the Mongol invasion and the culture and the different things.

So tonight we are going to begin essentially where we left off last night. Allow me to recap in about 30 seconds to a minute, though.

Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.

They are not under the impression, contrary to popular belief, that they were going to

knock us out of the war.

They knew that we were going to get in the war.

They knew that was going to get us into the war.

The intention was to slow us down enough so they could dig in and take all the territory they wanted,

Philippines, places like that, and then they would make it too bloody for us to take it back.

We would do what countries had really always done.

Sue for peace.
