Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Monday, and we have a bunch of things.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
The Democrat Party continues to implode, and it's crazy to
see Beto O'Rourke reared his ugly head again and started
shooting off his mouth and just wow, good luck with that, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We'll do some emails this hour.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We'll talk about Mexico not sending us tomatoes anymore. All
that and so much more coming up on the world
famous Jesse Kelly Show this hour with me Bronco. But
before we get to any of that, it's Medal of
Honor Monday time. And don't shake your head, Chris, you
know what time it is. We honor a hero. Now
(00:50):
we have to remember the men and remember their deeds.
It's not enough to just know that all these Medal
of Honor citations are out there somewhere. I'm sure there's
a document. Yeah, they're all online. We can read them free.
Multiple websites have these Medal of Honor citations up. I
want to encourage you again to do this with your family,
(01:13):
do this with your class, do this with the team
you coach. This is an important part of our social fabric.
These men gave up everything, many of them, most of
them gave up everything. Remember that wonderful Reagan's speech where
he was talking about that he was over and I
believe it was France, given a speech and he essentially said,
(01:37):
I'm paraphrasing that the mind plays a trick. When we
talk about these guys. We picture them as old men,
but they weren't old men when they died. They were
young men. They didn't get to meet their grandkids, they
didn't get to raise their kids, they didn't get baseball games,
and that they didn't get any of that gave it
(02:00):
up for us. And as always, remember, you can email love, hate,
death threats, and you can email medal of honor suggestions.
We have stacks and stacks of them, but send them.
We love them, we read them, then we'll get to
them eventually. This one, this guy says, I'm a deputy
sheriff under a small rural county in East Tennessee. Thirty
(02:21):
three years of serving my community in this great country.
How about that, man, I listened to your show every
night from eighteen hundred to twenty one hundred. I really
enjoy the Medal of Honor Mondays. Don't know if you
read this one, but I found one that would be
worthy to be heard. B twenty five B twenty four
pilot from World War II, Leon Vance, So without further ado,
(02:44):
by the way, he was born in Enid, Oklahoma, Enid,
Oklahoma in nineteen sixteen. Let's read the Medal of Honor
citation for a Leon Robert Vance, Junior US Army Air Corps.
So he was obviously in a play.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hey, honoring those he went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call
of duty on the fifth of June nineteen forty four,
when he led a heavy bombardment group in an attack
against defended enemy coastal positions in the vicinity of Wimereaux, France.
Pause real quick, this is pre D Day they're doing.
(03:33):
You don't have to actually pause the music, Chris. They're
doing pre D day bombardment, trying to soften the target,
things like that. Approaching the target, his aircraft was hit
repeatedly by anti aircraft fire, which seriously crippled the ship,
killed the pilot, and wounded several members of the crew,
including Lieutenant Colonel Vance, whose right foot was practically severed.
(03:57):
The pilot was killed piece of shrapnel hit him in
the head, killed immediately. In spite of his injury and
with three engines lost to flak good grief, he led
his formation over the target, bombing it successfully after applying
a tourniquet to his leg with the aid of the
radar operator, Lieutenant Colonel Vance. Realizing that the ship was
(04:20):
approaching a stall altitude with the one remaining engine failing,
Gosh struggled to a semi upright position beside the copilot
and took over control of the ship, cutting the power
and feathering the last engine. He put the aircraft in glide,
(04:40):
sufficiently steeped to maintain his air speed, gradually losing altitude.
He at last reached the English coast, whereupon he ordered
all members of the crew to bail out, as he
knew they would all safely make land, But he received
a message over the inner phone system which led him
(05:01):
to believe one of the crew members was unable to
jump due to injuries, so he made the decision to
ditch the ship in the channel, thereby giving this man
a chance at life.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Good freaking grief.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
To add further to the danger of ditching the ship
in his crippled condition, there was a five hundred pound
bomb hung up in the bombay. Unable to climb into
the seat vacated by the co pilot since his foot
hanging onto his leg by a few tendons had become
lodged behind the co pilot's seat. Oh He nevertheless made
(05:39):
a successful ditching while lying on the floor, using only
aleron in elevators for control and the side window of
the cockpit for visual reference. On coming to rest in
the water, the aircraft commenced to sink rapidly, with Lieutenant
Colonel Vance pinned in the cop by the upper turret,
(06:02):
which had crashed in during the landing. As it was
settling beneath the waves, an explosion occurred, which through Lieutenant
Colonel Vance clear of the wreckage. After clinging to a
piece of floating wreckage until he could muster enough strength
to inflate his life vest, he began to search for
(06:23):
the crew member whom he believed to be aboard. Failing
to find anyone, he began swimming and was found approximately
fifty minutes later by an air sea rescue craft. By
his extraordinary flying skill and gallant leadership. Despite his grave injury,
Lieutenant Colonel Vans led his formation to a successful bombing
(06:46):
of the assigned target and returned the crew to a
point where they could bail out with safety. His gallant
and valorous decision to ditch the aircraft in order to
give the crew member he believed to be aboard a
chance for life exemplifies the highest traditions of the US
Armed Forces. Is that not one of the most amazing
(07:08):
things you've ever heard in your entire freaking life. I
by the way I looked. I looked because I'm curious,
probably about the same thing you're curious about.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The explosion? Was that the bomb? Or see?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That doesn't make sense to me. I don't think it
was a five hundred pound bomb underwater or not underwater? Well,
probably finished. I mean, surely you would be dead, so
that doesn't make sense that it would be the bomb.
I don't know what the explosion was an engine who knows?
But what a story, and I am sad to say
that it does not have a happy ending. On July
(07:48):
twenty sixth, he had to go recover from his injuries
in England and then he got on a MedFlight. These
med flights were happening all over the world during World
War Two. On July twenty sixth, nineteen four, between Iceland
and Newfoundland, the C fifty four was lost on its
way back to the US, assumed to have crashed in
(08:09):
the Atlantic. And I'd believe there were seventeen people on board,
and they all gave their lives for this country. You know,
(09:11):
I don't think I don't think it's probably something I
would do a whole history thing on. But there are
so many of those medical flights or medical ships where
men and women, sometimes women gave their lives. I say women,
because especially in the Pacific, you know, women are just
(09:33):
they're wonderful nurses. They're better nurses than men are, to
be honest with you, just their nature. These women would
care for these oftentimes terribly injured men on these flights
back from the Pacific. You got to try to get
them back to the States, you know, you got to
stop here and stop there, and they get shot at
(09:54):
and shot and shot down, and sometimes you don't have
to be shot down. Remember this is nineteen forty four,
nineteen forty five, it's not today. Planes crash, things go wrong,
and everybody goes. Everybody dies. There's a it's a heartbreaking thing.
The Japanese didn't care if you had a ship that
(10:15):
was marked as a medical ship. They'll fire a torpedo
into that thing. Like it was nothing happened. A lot happened,
a lot sad tales. Anyway, All right, let's move on
at least show that was kind of a heavy metal
of honor citation. So Bronco is ready to move on
to something different. Remember you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Let's talk about a couple
(10:37):
happy things here first. So there's this thing that is
it's always been a thing in American politics, and that
is this, when you are running in a primary, you
want to take the strongest possible position on every issue
(10:57):
to help you win the primary.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then once.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
You've won your primary, it's not that you want to moderate,
because then that would make you a liar. But you
don't necessarily want to advertise all your positions. And Republicans
and Democrats have always done this to some extent. You
know how it works. If you're a Republican, when you're
in a primary, you want to make sure nobody can
(11:21):
get to your right. So you take the strongest possible
position on taxes and spending in the border and abortion
and everything else under the sun. Then when the general
election comes up, now maybe we don't maybe we don't
talk about abortion anymore. Well, you were kind of what
Trump did. You just make it about a couple issues,
the border and inflation. That's what he ran on, border inflation,
(11:44):
border inflation. Democrats same thing. If you're a Democrat, you
have to come out to the left of MAO in
a primary, and then in a general election is shave
some of those edges off.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But here is what is.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Doomed people time and time and time again in politics
at any level. This extreme position you take in the
primary comes back to bite you in the general and
you look unelectable because it's norms. It's norm and norma
who vote people in. It's not you and me. I
(12:22):
wish it was. I wish you could pick. I would
just hand every election to you if I could. You
get them right. Most of the time we don't win elections.
We have to work for them. But our votes don't
win elections. The normies do these. I still I've never
figured these people out, I vote Democrat this year, and
then I'll vote Republican. Then these people right, So the
(12:48):
Democrat Party appears to be trapped in a bit of
a death spiral to where it doesn't matter the situation,
they have to take these public, loud positions that are
unpopular with almost everyone. With almost everyone, Chris said, why,
(13:13):
I'll take you what. I'll get to the y in
a minute. Beto O'Rourke is at dork who runs for
office every five minutes in Texas, and he got up
on stage on camera and just I don't want you
to listen like you. I know you're gonna disagree. I
know I'm gonna disagree the normy in your life. Play
him this and tell me what he thinks.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Next time we.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Win power, we're gonna drive that car like we stole it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We're gonna legalize every Dreamer, every Dreamer's parents, every hard
working American doing backbreaking work that makes this country so
great in the first place, even greater as US.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Citizens, mass amnesty and for their parents. Okay said this.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
We punch first, and we punch harder. We want California
and New Jersey and Illinois, in Maryland and every other
state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the Assembly,
and the state Senate to redraw their congressional districts. Now
not wait for Texas to move first to maximize Democratic
party advantage. Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those
(14:17):
aren't the rules.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
There are no reps in this game.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
The rules.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
We are gonna win whatever it takes.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, this is omar fatee that Somali is about to
be mayor of Minneapolis day one. If you were elected,
what would be some of your top two to three
priorities for the city.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So that's a very good question. So the first I
would say, it would be a hostile federal government with
not only Donald Trump in office, but he has essentially
a trifecta the both chambers of Congress and a Supreme Court.
And a lot of our neighbors, especially our undocumented residents,
are very concerned.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What's your number one priority for Minneapolis making sure the
legals get to stay. These positions don't just sound insane
to you. All, My normally friends think these are bonkers positions. Bonkers,
you sound bonkers. So Jewish producer Chris asked, why why
(15:14):
do they continue to do this, Well, they're actually sandwiched
now and probably trapped because they're sandwiched. Your base is
always pushing you to move to a stronger position. The
Republican base we want to pull the Lindsey Grahams to
the right. The Democrat base they want to pull, well,
(15:37):
there aren't any moderate Democrats. But if there was a
moderate Democrat, they want to pull him to the left.
But you learn how to work with that. What is
dooming Democrats is not their base, it's their donors too,
the wealthiest Democrats, these billionaire types. I was talking to
Buck Sexton about this earlier today, and he's like, yeah,
(16:00):
these Reid Hoffman types, these billionaire Democrats, they are not
pushing their candidates to moderate. They are not pushing their
candidates to drop these crazy positions that are unpopular. They
are writing large checks and demanding Democrats take these extreme positions.
(16:22):
So even if you are a moderate Democrat, you don't
feel like you have a choice but to take positions
everyone hates.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Isn't that awesome? I think that's freaking awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Let's talk to Josh Hammer about this DC home rule stuff.
Is it legal? Are the courts going to screw all
this up. Can Donald Trump go do the same thing
in Chicago and New York. Let's find that out and
then we'll do emails. Next it's time to get all
loyally and to do that. Of course, you know who
we're bringing in, my friend Josh Hammer, host of the
(16:55):
Josh Hammer Show. Okay, Josh, first of all, you needed
to break down some legal nerds stuff for us.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Can Trump just take over DC?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Well, Jesse, The original Constitution, like the actual Constitution that
the founding fathers debated and ratified, makes pretty clear that
the Capitol District is supposed to be run by Congress.
Congress and by extension, the executive branch to an extent.
(17:27):
But it really was ideally supposed to be Congress initially
that would engage in direct legislative governance of Washington, d C.
What happened was this happened all in the post World
War Two era. It really was not until nineteen seventy
three the Richard Nixon presidency, when Congress signed a law
(17:47):
called the DC Home Rule Act that for the first
time really allowed Washington, d C. To govern more of itself.
And that was the original origins of the actual DC
Mayor's Office. Prior to that there was some sort of
symbolic head but the actual position of DC mayor like
think miroel Bowser, Marion Barry back in the day. I mean,
(18:10):
I mean that goes back to this law that Congress
passed in nineteen seventy three, So it's a fairly recent thing.
But yes, I mean he can say that, for purposes
of our administration, for purposes of the United States part
of Justice, that we are going to interpret the DC
Home Rule Act in a certain fashion. It would be
(18:31):
even more legally justified if Congress were to amend this
statute and to provide an additional ammunition. But the overall
direction here of a certain greater federal direct control over
the Capitol District is directly in line with the founding
vision that I think the Founding Fathers were actually terrified
of the prospects that Washington, d c. Could be truly
(18:54):
truly government itself and have voting members in Congress there.
They they thought that would be a recipe for that's
d and corruption and lots of other things that they oppose.
So this is actually a very kind of old school
Founding Fathers esque move. It happens to be a brilliant move.
I think when it comes to the actual public policy,
I mean, let's talk about just coming back crime in DC.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So it's a.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Political no brainer. It's a policy no brainer, and I
think it's legally justified as well.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, so is this going to be challenged in court?
Because I look, I want our nation's capital to be
shiny and beautiful. I talked about it earlier in the show.
Because it's a billboard for our country. I want it
cleaned up. I don't want people hurt, but we all
know that that is what democrats want. They're not soft
on crime, they're pro crime. They want people hurt, they
(19:40):
want people murdered. It is this going to get stopped?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Look when it comes to so, there's a couple of
parts here, if I understanding that what's happening correcty, there
is the DC Metro Police component, and then there is
the National Guard component. The president has sprawling authority to
call off the National Guard and to make use of
it as he will. So if it is his discretion
(20:05):
to send in additional National Guard troops in the nation
cab in the nation's capital to restore order, if there
is a legitimate crisis, then there are multiple statutes on
the book historically that will give him the ability to
do so. For instance, there is a statue from the
late nineteenth century called the Insurrection Act. Jesse Mayor called
the infamous op ed that Tom Cotton published with the
(20:28):
New York Times back in the early days of the
Saint George Floyd Saint George Floyd riots back there that
kind of sent the whole New York Times walking out
of the office and led to Barry Wiss's resignation all
that he was talking about this law, the Insurrection Act there. So,
the Insurrection Act is one of the ways that a
president can say that there is a crisis, there is
a lack of law and order here, and we need
(20:49):
to call off the National Guard. So that seems to
me to be on pretty sound authority. Now, having said that,
there are any number of left wing activists I call
the judicial insurrectionists, these lower corps judges who basically just
get off on the fact of stopping Trump no matter what.
And I have no doubt that as soon as Trump
(21:10):
was finished at the White House lectern today, probably even
before that, I'm sure you had the ACLU and all
the various left wing public interest. Legal outfits lined up
like ducks in a row waiting to go suit this
guy there, So I'm sure they're going to challenge it.
The DC Metro Police debates potentially could come down to
(21:31):
a statutory question over the DC Home Rule Act. But
I think it's pretty well understood Jesse by most lawyers
that the federal government essentially has control over Washington, d C.
For most of our adult lifetimes, me and you and
everyone else, we've just operated in a world whereby the
federal government has, of its own volition, chosen to delegate
(21:52):
most of that authority to the d C municipal government.
But when you delegate something, you can ultimately then call
it back really any time you want. I think a
way to analogize this that makes it a little more
easily digestible think of it when it comes to Congress
and the executive branch. So in the past century, since
since Woodrow Wilson got the modern administrative state going, Congress
(22:15):
has delegated massive, massive responsibility to the administrative state. Now
I have a big issue with that. I think President
Trump does too. But the point is that if Congress
wants to reclaim its ability to govern in various areas
where it has delegated to the executive branch. Congress can
essentially do that tomorrow. It's kind of the same thing here.
I think the federal government has delegated a lot of
(22:35):
power to the DC municipal government and in this case,
by extension, the DC Metro Police. But if they want
to take direct control, they can essentially do that anytime
they want to.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
All right again, speaking with Josh Hammer, hosts of The
Josh Hammer Show, Josh, I'm going to play something for
you real quick. Here was Trump too.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
And if we need to, we're going to do the
same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster. We have
a mayor there who's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man,
and we have an incompetent governor there. Pritzker is an
incompetent His family threw him out of the business and
he ran for governor. And now I understand he wants
(23:13):
to be president, but I noticed he lost a liloit,
so maybe he has a chance.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
You know, you never know what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Okay, all right, fat jokes aside, which is hilarious. Can
he do that?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Can he just take Chicago.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
All right, So the short answer is no. But what
he can do is he can similarly invoke statutes like
the Insurrection Act if he deems necessary, and increase the
National Guard presence in a lot of these blue cities Chicago,
Los Angeles. I mean, he actually just did that in
Los Angeles right in June during the anti ice, anti
(23:48):
immigration enforcement riots there just a couple months ago. So
he's actually already done that in other blue cities there.
But you can't just take over the Chicago Police Department,
for instance, in a way that the fellow government I
think is essentially legally justified in doing when it comes
to the Metro Police, sparn't there. So that's the difference
when it comes to things like the actual municipal government.
(24:09):
So you can't just abolish the Chicago Mayor's office, whereby
I think it's true that if Congress wants to essentially
abolish the DC Mayor's office tomorrow, they could easily do that.
You can't do that in a Chicago Los Angeles. It's
not the same thing. But when it comes to the
National Guard, Jessey, it's very much the same. Prince bloodwork, Josh.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Why do we need people living in DC something like
seven hundred thousand people there. I'm not even honestly, not
even trying to be glube. Why is this a permanent
residency for almost a million people. It should not be
this way.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I don't think it was supposed to be that way, Honestly,
I don't think the found any fathers ever expected that. Actually,
basically what happened was modern Washington, d C. Was carved
out of a little compromise between Virginia and Maryland, where
by both of the original colonies that became states would
then just give up a tiny parcel of land to
(25:02):
literally house the Congress and the White House and so
forth there. But it was never meant to be a
place where people live, where there's restaurants and there's all
this common stuff. I think, in an ideal scenario, if
you're really going to go back to the founding vision
of America, we would go back to that. Unfortunately, the
genie is probably out of the bottle on that one.
But at a bare minimum, Jesse, even if people are
(25:24):
gonna live in this very swampy and deeply humidd district,
it seems to me like the DC government is failing
ethically to stop crime in our nation's capital and time
for the de FENSI set then Josh.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
He is Josh Hammer with the Josh Hammer Show. Thank you, buddy,
that is what I needed. I appreciate you very much.
I feel so much smarter now, and that's saying something
because I felt pretty smart before. What Chris, We're gonna
do some emails in a moment. It is that Jesse
Kelly saw on a wonderful, wonderful Monday, Medal of Honor Monday.
(26:02):
Remember if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing. iHeart Spotify iTunes.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Speaking of the Democrats being in serious trouble inside the
DSA convention, this is from the Free Beacon, that would
be the Democratic Socialists of America. Apparently they sent a
message to the Democrats, We're in charge now, we run
the party. Man, get out of that blue area. It's
(26:29):
about to be some rough times Jesse.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Friday's show.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
In the first hour, Chris was shooting his mouth off
about San Diego, Mexican food or something. I don't normally
pay attention to losers, but I think Chris is confusing
La with San Diego. There's a big difference between San Diego,
Mexican food and La Mexican food. Okay, all right, let's
stop here for a minute, because he goes on to
say San Diego is known for their California burritos, carneia sada, cheese, pico.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And French fries. Okay, his name is John. John.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I support you, and I like that you had an
accurate description of Chris. But it's all the same, buddy.
The San Diego has the California burrito. Oh wouldn't you know?
It's got meat, cheese, pico, and potatoes in it. That's
(27:29):
like every other freaking burrito on the planet. It's basically
the same. I know everybody thinks that it doesn't. Jim
Gaff again, have a great Mexican have a great Mexican
food comedy bit. I know he's a dirty communist, but
he has a great comedy bit about this about how
it's it's all the same. And the only only exceptions
(27:53):
that I really have found is in New Mexico you
get more Hatch green chilis in your Mexican food because
that's where hatch New Mexico is, and I love Hatch
green chilies, and that was very good. In Texas, there
definitely seems to be more of an emphasis on the
melted cheese portion, which I like. That's one and two Texas.
(28:16):
In true tex Mex fashion, they'll mix barbecue in there.
So one of the great tex Mex restaurants in the
Houston area, El Tiempo, is what it's called a god
and name drop them El Tampo. They have brisket, smoked brisket,
and I don't mean garbage. You know what you're thinking,
Taco bell they threw in the nuker. No, somebody took
(28:38):
some time smoked this brisket and they'll give you like
smoked brisket tacos and things like that. So there are
tiny exceptions. And you know, look, I'm a San Diego fan.
We're coming to visit. By the way, we're gonna come
to visit. I don't know about this year. Don't get
your hopes up. Might have to be next year. We
just got back from Boston. All right, Look, I want
(28:59):
to I miss my all right now, I'm at the
age where I have to sleep in my bed most
of the time.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
We're gonna come anyway. I like San Diego. That's not
let's not.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Act like your Mexican food is different than LA's, all right,
there's great Mexican food in LA. Everybody gets snobby about this.
It's like New York people when you bring up New Jersey.
When I bring up the great food in New Jersey
because New Jersey has awesome food, I'll get just hate
poured into me from the emails about those idiots suck.
It's nothing like New York.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
New York.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
It's no insult to you. New Jersey has great food,
great pizza, great cheese, steaks. I should point out Chris
said they're only eighty miles apart. Hey, Chris, do me
a favorite. Don't ever say that when you're back there, Bud,
don't ever say that. Both of them get super upset
when you make those comparisons. It's like for those people,
it's like comparing your wife to your ex. Just don't
(29:52):
do it, all right, just trust me on that. I
do have some good news though. All the Mexican food
in America is about to improve because of this. Mexico
sets minimum tomato export prices following the end of a
US trade deal. The long story short, We're not gonna
have as many tomatoes in this country.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I love this honestly, this nothing is made. Nothing has
made me as proud to be an American? Is that
right there?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Yai Yai Yai, I am the Fritto Bandito. Hecky I
like Britto scornchits.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
I love them.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I do.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I want Britto scornchits. I'll get them from you, Yai
Yai Yai, oh im, the Fritto Bunchito. Give me Britto scornchitchin.
I'll be your friend, the Fritto Bunzito. You must not
up pail munch munch munch a bunch of Britos.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I hate tomatoes so much. I can't stop thinking about it.
It actually happened to me. It did happened to me.
It's a few days ago. I went out and got
some Fijidas. You know, I mean, you know how I am.
I'm not got some Fijidas with ub You were watching
the game eating some Fijidas. They come and they set
(31:16):
down this sizzling veheta tray for Bronco, and it's and
it's all the onions and the butter. They had this
little metal cup of butter on there. Chris, it was
boiling the butter. It was so hot. The butter was
like boiling and bubbling over. It was this garlic butter.
(31:36):
Don't shake your head. Oh it was so good man.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You would have loved it.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You would have loved you got to talk the wife
into it. I'm telling you should be fine with it anyway,
all this meat, these onions, they even had a jalapeno
on there.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Some chilis.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I'm kidding, there weren't any chili's, but I just wanted
to say that. The fresh dortas, and they had this
butter on there. But there was this huge, unsightly red
tomato on there, infecting the entire tray with everything. Is
there anything worse than getting a great sandwich or something
(32:12):
and they put a tomato on it, And they tell
you you can take it off, but you can't, not
all the way. Oh sure you can physically remove the tomato,
but have you ever seen a slug crawling across something?
How it leaves that little snail trail behind it, That
(32:34):
snail trail of slime and grease smells like fish. The
tomato does the exact same thing to your food. You
can take it off, but there'll be so much tomato
residue left over it. What Chris, what? What about salsa.
Don't act like that's tomato. But don't act like that's tomato.
(32:56):
They mash it up and mix it up and put
in all kinds of beers and all kinds of other stuff.
Don't pretend like marinaia sauce is tomato or ketchup is tomato. No,
someone figured out how to make something decent out of
the most disgusting food on the planet. That doesn't mean
the food is good. Don't even try that with me.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Monday, and we have a bunch of things.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
The Democrat Party continues to implode, and it's crazy to
see Beto O'Rourke reared his ugly head again and started
shooting off his mouth and just wow, good luck with that, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We'll do some emails this hour.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We'll talk about Mexico not sending us tomatoes anymore. All
that and so much more coming up on the world
famous Jesse Kelly Show this hour with me Bronco. But
before we get to any of that, it's Medal of
Honor Monday time. And don't shake your head, Chris, you
know what time it is. We honor a hero. Now
(00:50):
we have to remember the men and remember their deeds.
It's not enough to just know that all these Medal
of Honor citations are out there somewhere. I'm sure there's
a document. Yeah, they're all online. We can read them free.
Multiple websites have these Medal of Honor citations up. I
want to encourage you again to do this with your family,
(01:13):
do this with your class, do this with the team
you coach. This is an important part of our social fabric.
These men gave up everything, many of them, most of
them gave up everything. Remember that wonderful Reagan's speech where
he was talking about that he was over and I
believe it was France, given a speech and he essentially said,
(01:37):
I'm paraphrasing that the mind plays a trick. When we
talk about these guys. We picture them as old men,
but they weren't old men when they died. They were
young men. They didn't get to meet their grandkids, they
didn't get to raise their kids, they didn't get baseball games,
and that they didn't get any of that gave it
(02:00):
up for us. And as always, remember, you can email love, hate,
death threats, and you can email medal of honor suggestions.
We have stacks and stacks of them, but send them.
We love them, we read them, then we'll get to
them eventually. This one, this guy says, I'm a deputy
sheriff under a small rural county in East Tennessee. Thirty
(02:21):
three years of serving my community in this great country.
How about that, man, I listened to your show every
night from eighteen hundred to twenty one hundred. I really
enjoy the Medal of Honor Mondays. Don't know if you
read this one, but I found one that would be
worthy to be heard. B twenty five B twenty four
pilot from World War II, Leon Vance, So without further ado,
(02:44):
by the way, he was born in Enid, Oklahoma, Enid,
Oklahoma in nineteen sixteen. Let's read the Medal of Honor
citation for a Leon Robert Vance, Junior US Army Air Corps.
So he was obviously in a play.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hey, honoring those he went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call
of duty on the fifth of June nineteen forty four,
when he led a heavy bombardment group in an attack
against defended enemy coastal positions in the vicinity of Wimereaux, France.
Pause real quick, this is pre D Day they're doing.
(03:33):
You don't have to actually pause the music, Chris. They're
doing pre D day bombardment, trying to soften the target,
things like that. Approaching the target, his aircraft was hit
repeatedly by anti aircraft fire, which seriously crippled the ship,
killed the pilot, and wounded several members of the crew,
including Lieutenant Colonel Vance, whose right foot was practically severed.
(03:57):
The pilot was killed piece of shrapnel hit him in
the head, killed immediately. In spite of his injury and
with three engines lost to flak good grief, he led
his formation over the target, bombing it successfully after applying
a tourniquet to his leg with the aid of the
radar operator, Lieutenant Colonel Vance. Realizing that the ship was
(04:20):
approaching a stall altitude with the one remaining engine failing,
Gosh struggled to a semi upright position beside the copilot
and took over control of the ship, cutting the power
and feathering the last engine. He put the aircraft in glide,
(04:40):
sufficiently steeped to maintain his air speed, gradually losing altitude.
He at last reached the English coast, whereupon he ordered
all members of the crew to bail out, as he
knew they would all safely make land, But he received
a message over the inner phone system which led him
(05:01):
to believe one of the crew members was unable to
jump due to injuries, so he made the decision to
ditch the ship in the channel, thereby giving this man
a chance at life.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Good freaking grief.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
To add further to the danger of ditching the ship
in his crippled condition, there was a five hundred pound
bomb hung up in the bombay. Unable to climb into
the seat vacated by the co pilot since his foot
hanging onto his leg by a few tendons had become
lodged behind the co pilot's seat. Oh He nevertheless made
(05:39):
a successful ditching while lying on the floor, using only
aleron in elevators for control and the side window of
the cockpit for visual reference. On coming to rest in
the water, the aircraft commenced to sink rapidly, with Lieutenant
Colonel Vance pinned in the cop by the upper turret,
(06:02):
which had crashed in during the landing. As it was
settling beneath the waves, an explosion occurred, which through Lieutenant
Colonel Vance clear of the wreckage. After clinging to a
piece of floating wreckage until he could muster enough strength
to inflate his life vest, he began to search for
(06:23):
the crew member whom he believed to be aboard. Failing
to find anyone, he began swimming and was found approximately
fifty minutes later by an air sea rescue craft. By
his extraordinary flying skill and gallant leadership. Despite his grave injury,
Lieutenant Colonel Vans led his formation to a successful bombing
(06:46):
of the assigned target and returned the crew to a
point where they could bail out with safety. His gallant
and valorous decision to ditch the aircraft in order to
give the crew member he believed to be aboard a
chance for life exemplifies the highest traditions of the US
Armed Forces. Is that not one of the most amazing
(07:08):
things you've ever heard in your entire freaking life. I
by the way I looked. I looked because I'm curious,
probably about the same thing you're curious about.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The explosion? Was that the bomb? Or see?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
That doesn't make sense to me. I don't think it
was a five hundred pound bomb underwater or not underwater? Well,
probably finished. I mean, surely you would be dead, so
that doesn't make sense that it would be the bomb.
I don't know what the explosion was an engine who knows?
But what a story, and I am sad to say
that it does not have a happy ending. On July
(07:48):
twenty sixth, he had to go recover from his injuries
in England and then he got on a MedFlight. These
med flights were happening all over the world during World
War Two. On July twenty sixth, nineteen four, between Iceland
and Newfoundland, the C fifty four was lost on its
way back to the US, assumed to have crashed in
(08:09):
the Atlantic. And I'd believe there were seventeen people on board,
and they all gave their lives for this country. You know,
(09:11):
I don't think I don't think it's probably something I
would do a whole history thing on. But there are
so many of those medical flights or medical ships where
men and women, sometimes women gave their lives. I say women,
because especially in the Pacific, you know, women are just
(09:33):
they're wonderful nurses. They're better nurses than men are, to
be honest with you, just their nature. These women would
care for these oftentimes terribly injured men on these flights
back from the Pacific. You got to try to get
them back to the States, you know, you got to
stop here and stop there, and they get shot at
(09:54):
and shot and shot down, and sometimes you don't have
to be shot down. Remember this is nineteen forty four,
nineteen forty five, it's not today. Planes crash, things go wrong,
and everybody goes. Everybody dies. There's a it's a heartbreaking thing.
The Japanese didn't care if you had a ship that
(10:15):
was marked as a medical ship. They'll fire a torpedo
into that thing. Like it was nothing happened. A lot happened,
a lot sad tales. Anyway, All right, let's move on
at least show that was kind of a heavy metal
of honor citation. So Bronco is ready to move on
to something different. Remember you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Let's talk about a couple
(10:37):
happy things here first. So there's this thing that is
it's always been a thing in American politics, and that
is this, when you are running in a primary, you
want to take the strongest possible position on every issue
(10:57):
to help you win the primary.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then once.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
You've won your primary, it's not that you want to moderate,
because then that would make you a liar. But you
don't necessarily want to advertise all your positions. And Republicans
and Democrats have always done this to some extent. You
know how it works. If you're a Republican, when you're
in a primary, you want to make sure nobody can
(11:21):
get to your right. So you take the strongest possible
position on taxes and spending in the border and abortion
and everything else under the sun. Then when the general
election comes up, now maybe we don't maybe we don't
talk about abortion anymore. Well, you were kind of what
Trump did. You just make it about a couple issues,
the border and inflation. That's what he ran on, border inflation,
(11:44):
border inflation. Democrats same thing. If you're a Democrat, you
have to come out to the left of MAO in
a primary, and then in a general election is shave
some of those edges off.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But here is what is.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Doomed people time and time and time again in politics
at any level. This extreme position you take in the
primary comes back to bite you in the general and
you look unelectable because it's norms. It's norm and norma
who vote people in. It's not you and me. I
(12:22):
wish it was. I wish you could pick. I would
just hand every election to you if I could. You
get them right. Most of the time we don't win elections.
We have to work for them. But our votes don't
win elections. The normies do these. I still I've never
figured these people out, I vote Democrat this year, and
then I'll vote Republican. Then these people right, So the
(12:48):
Democrat Party appears to be trapped in a bit of
a death spiral to where it doesn't matter the situation,
they have to take these public, loud positions that are
unpopular with almost everyone. With almost everyone, Chris said, why,
(13:13):
I'll take you what. I'll get to the y in
a minute. Beto O'Rourke is at dork who runs for
office every five minutes in Texas, and he got up
on stage on camera and just I don't want you
to listen like you. I know you're gonna disagree. I
know I'm gonna disagree the normy in your life. Play
him this and tell me what he thinks.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Next time we.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Win power, we're gonna drive that car like we stole it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We're gonna legalize every Dreamer, every Dreamer's parents, every hard
working American doing backbreaking work that makes this country so
great in the first place, even greater as US.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Citizens, mass amnesty and for their parents. Okay said this.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
We punch first, and we punch harder. We want California
and New Jersey and Illinois, in Maryland and every other
state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the Assembly,
and the state Senate to redraw their congressional districts. Now
not wait for Texas to move first to maximize Democratic
party advantage. Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those
(14:17):
aren't the rules.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
There are no reps in this game.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
The rules.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
We are gonna win whatever it takes.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, this is omar fatee that Somali is about to
be mayor of Minneapolis day one. If you were elected,
what would be some of your top two to three
priorities for the city.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So that's a very good question. So the first I
would say, it would be a hostile federal government with
not only Donald Trump in office, but he has essentially
a trifecta the both chambers of Congress and a Supreme Court.
And a lot of our neighbors, especially our undocumented residents,
are very concerned.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What's your number one priority for Minneapolis making sure the
legals get to stay. These positions don't just sound insane
to you. All, My normally friends think these are bonkers positions. Bonkers,
you sound bonkers. So Jewish producer Chris asked, why why
(15:14):
do they continue to do this, Well, they're actually sandwiched
now and probably trapped because they're sandwiched. Your base is
always pushing you to move to a stronger position. The
Republican base we want to pull the Lindsey Grahams to
the right. The Democrat base they want to pull, well,
(15:37):
there aren't any moderate Democrats. But if there was a
moderate Democrat, they want to pull him to the left.
But you learn how to work with that. What is
dooming Democrats is not their base, it's their donors too,
the wealthiest Democrats, these billionaire types. I was talking to
Buck Sexton about this earlier today, and he's like, yeah,
(16:00):
these Reid Hoffman types, these billionaire Democrats, they are not
pushing their candidates to moderate. They are not pushing their
candidates to drop these crazy positions that are unpopular. They
are writing large checks and demanding Democrats take these extreme positions.
(16:22):
So even if you are a moderate Democrat, you don't
feel like you have a choice but to take positions
everyone hates.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Isn't that awesome? I think that's freaking awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Let's talk to Josh Hammer about this DC home rule stuff.
Is it legal? Are the courts going to screw all
this up. Can Donald Trump go do the same thing
in Chicago and New York. Let's find that out and
then we'll do emails. Next it's time to get all
loyally and to do that. Of course, you know who
we're bringing in, my friend Josh Hammer, host of the
(16:55):
Josh Hammer Show. Okay, Josh, first of all, you needed
to break down some legal nerds stuff for us.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Can Trump just take over DC?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Well, Jesse, The original Constitution, like the actual Constitution that
the founding fathers debated and ratified, makes pretty clear that
the Capitol District is supposed to be run by Congress.
Congress and by extension, the executive branch to an extent.
(17:27):
But it really was ideally supposed to be Congress initially
that would engage in direct legislative governance of Washington, d C.
What happened was this happened all in the post World
War Two era. It really was not until nineteen seventy
three the Richard Nixon presidency, when Congress signed a law
(17:47):
called the DC Home Rule Act that for the first
time really allowed Washington, d C. To govern more of itself.
And that was the original origins of the actual DC
Mayor's Office. Prior to that there was some sort of
symbolic head but the actual position of DC mayor like
think miroel Bowser, Marion Barry back in the day. I mean,
(18:10):
I mean that goes back to this law that Congress
passed in nineteen seventy three, So it's a fairly recent thing.
But yes, I mean he can say that, for purposes
of our administration, for purposes of the United States part
of Justice, that we are going to interpret the DC
Home Rule Act in a certain fashion. It would be
(18:31):
even more legally justified if Congress were to amend this
statute and to provide an additional ammunition. But the overall
direction here of a certain greater federal direct control over
the Capitol District is directly in line with the founding
vision that I think the Founding Fathers were actually terrified
of the prospects that Washington, d c. Could be truly
(18:54):
truly government itself and have voting members in Congress there.
They they thought that would be a recipe for that's
d and corruption and lots of other things that they oppose.
So this is actually a very kind of old school
Founding Fathers esque move. It happens to be a brilliant move.
I think when it comes to the actual public policy,
I mean, let's talk about just coming back crime in DC.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So it's a.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Political no brainer. It's a policy no brainer, and I
think it's legally justified as well.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, so is this going to be challenged in court?
Because I look, I want our nation's capital to be
shiny and beautiful. I talked about it earlier in the show.
Because it's a billboard for our country. I want it
cleaned up. I don't want people hurt, but we all
know that that is what democrats want. They're not soft
on crime, they're pro crime. They want people hurt, they
(19:40):
want people murdered. It is this going to get stopped?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Look when it comes to so, there's a couple of
parts here, if I understanding that what's happening correcty, there
is the DC Metro Police component, and then there is
the National Guard component. The president has sprawling authority to
call off the National Guard and to make use of
it as he will. So if it is his discretion
(20:05):
to send in additional National Guard troops in the nation
cab in the nation's capital to restore order, if there
is a legitimate crisis, then there are multiple statutes on
the book historically that will give him the ability to
do so. For instance, there is a statue from the
late nineteenth century called the Insurrection Act. Jesse Mayor called
the infamous op ed that Tom Cotton published with the
(20:28):
New York Times back in the early days of the
Saint George Floyd Saint George Floyd riots back there that
kind of sent the whole New York Times walking out
of the office and led to Barry Wiss's resignation all
that he was talking about this law, the Insurrection Act there. So,
the Insurrection Act is one of the ways that a
president can say that there is a crisis, there is
a lack of law and order here, and we need
(20:49):
to call off the National Guard. So that seems to
me to be on pretty sound authority. Now, having said that,
there are any number of left wing activists I call
the judicial insurrectionists, these lower corps judges who basically just
get off on the fact of stopping Trump no matter what.
And I have no doubt that as soon as Trump
(21:10):
was finished at the White House lectern today, probably even
before that, I'm sure you had the ACLU and all
the various left wing public interest. Legal outfits lined up
like ducks in a row waiting to go suit this
guy there, So I'm sure they're going to challenge it.
The DC Metro Police debates potentially could come down to
(21:31):
a statutory question over the DC Home Rule Act. But
I think it's pretty well understood Jesse by most lawyers
that the federal government essentially has control over Washington, d C.
For most of our adult lifetimes, me and you and
everyone else, we've just operated in a world whereby the
federal government has, of its own volition, chosen to delegate
(21:52):
most of that authority to the d C municipal government.
But when you delegate something, you can ultimately then call
it back really any time you want. I think a
way to analogize this that makes it a little more
easily digestible think of it when it comes to Congress
and the executive branch. So in the past century, since
since Woodrow Wilson got the modern administrative state going, Congress
(22:15):
has delegated massive, massive responsibility to the administrative state. Now
I have a big issue with that. I think President
Trump does too. But the point is that if Congress
wants to reclaim its ability to govern in various areas
where it has delegated to the executive branch. Congress can
essentially do that tomorrow. It's kind of the same thing here.
I think the federal government has delegated a lot of
(22:35):
power to the DC municipal government and in this case,
by extension, the DC Metro Police. But if they want
to take direct control, they can essentially do that anytime
they want to.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
All right again, speaking with Josh Hammer, hosts of The
Josh Hammer Show, Josh, I'm going to play something for
you real quick. Here was Trump too.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
And if we need to, we're going to do the
same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster. We have
a mayor there who's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man,
and we have an incompetent governor there. Pritzker is an
incompetent His family threw him out of the business and
he ran for governor. And now I understand he wants
(23:13):
to be president, but I noticed he lost a liloit,
so maybe he has a chance.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
You know, you never know what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Okay, all right, fat jokes aside, which is hilarious. Can
he do that?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Can he just take Chicago.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
All right, So the short answer is no. But what
he can do is he can similarly invoke statutes like
the Insurrection Act if he deems necessary, and increase the
National Guard presence in a lot of these blue cities Chicago,
Los Angeles. I mean, he actually just did that in
Los Angeles right in June during the anti ice, anti
(23:48):
immigration enforcement riots there just a couple months ago. So
he's actually already done that in other blue cities there.
But you can't just take over the Chicago Police Department,
for instance, in a way that the fellow government I
think is essentially legally justified in doing when it comes
to the Metro Police, sparn't there. So that's the difference
when it comes to things like the actual municipal government.
(24:09):
So you can't just abolish the Chicago Mayor's office, whereby
I think it's true that if Congress wants to essentially
abolish the DC Mayor's office tomorrow, they could easily do that.
You can't do that in a Chicago Los Angeles. It's
not the same thing. But when it comes to the
National Guard, Jessey, it's very much the same. Prince bloodwork, Josh.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Why do we need people living in DC something like
seven hundred thousand people there. I'm not even honestly, not
even trying to be glube. Why is this a permanent
residency for almost a million people. It should not be
this way.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
I don't think it was supposed to be that way, Honestly,
I don't think the found any fathers ever expected that. Actually,
basically what happened was modern Washington, d C. Was carved
out of a little compromise between Virginia and Maryland, where
by both of the original colonies that became states would
then just give up a tiny parcel of land to
(25:02):
literally house the Congress and the White House and so
forth there. But it was never meant to be a
place where people live, where there's restaurants and there's all
this common stuff. I think, in an ideal scenario, if
you're really going to go back to the founding vision
of America, we would go back to that. Unfortunately, the
genie is probably out of the bottle on that one.
But at a bare minimum, Jesse, even if people are
(25:24):
gonna live in this very swampy and deeply humidd district,
it seems to me like the DC government is failing
ethically to stop crime in our nation's capital and time
for the de FENSI set then Josh.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
He is Josh Hammer with the Josh Hammer Show. Thank you, buddy,
that is what I needed. I appreciate you very much.
I feel so much smarter now, and that's saying something
because I felt pretty smart before. What Chris, We're gonna
do some emails in a moment. It is that Jesse
Kelly saw on a wonderful, wonderful Monday, Medal of Honor Monday.
(26:02):
Remember if you miss any part of the show, you
can download the whole thing. iHeart Spotify iTunes.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Speaking of the Democrats being in serious trouble inside the
DSA convention, this is from the Free Beacon, that would
be the Democratic Socialists of America. Apparently they sent a
message to the Democrats, We're in charge now, we run
the party. Man, get out of that blue area. It's
(26:29):
about to be some rough times Jesse.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Friday's show.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
In the first hour, Chris was shooting his mouth off
about San Diego, Mexican food or something. I don't normally
pay attention to losers, but I think Chris is confusing
La with San Diego. There's a big difference between San Diego,
Mexican food and La Mexican food. Okay, all right, let's
stop here for a minute, because he goes on to
say San Diego is known for their California burritos, carneia sada, cheese, pico.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
And French fries. Okay, his name is John. John.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I support you, and I like that you had an
accurate description of Chris. But it's all the same, buddy.
The San Diego has the California burrito. Oh wouldn't you know?
It's got meat, cheese, pico, and potatoes in it. That's
(27:29):
like every other freaking burrito on the planet. It's basically
the same. I know everybody thinks that it doesn't. Jim
Gaff again, have a great Mexican have a great Mexican
food comedy bit. I know he's a dirty communist, but
he has a great comedy bit about this about how
it's it's all the same. And the only only exceptions
(27:53):
that I really have found is in New Mexico you
get more Hatch green chilis in your Mexican food because
that's where hatch New Mexico is, and I love Hatch
green chilies, and that was very good. In Texas, there
definitely seems to be more of an emphasis on the
melted cheese portion, which I like. That's one and two Texas.
(28:16):
In true tex Mex fashion, they'll mix barbecue in there.
So one of the great tex Mex restaurants in the
Houston area, El Tiempo, is what it's called a god
and name drop them El Tampo. They have brisket, smoked brisket,
and I don't mean garbage. You know what you're thinking,
Taco bell they threw in the nuker. No, somebody took
(28:38):
some time smoked this brisket and they'll give you like
smoked brisket tacos and things like that. So there are
tiny exceptions. And you know, look, I'm a San Diego fan.
We're coming to visit. By the way, we're gonna come
to visit. I don't know about this year. Don't get
your hopes up. Might have to be next year. We
just got back from Boston. All right, Look, I want
(28:59):
to I miss my all right now, I'm at the
age where I have to sleep in my bed most
of the time.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
We're gonna come anyway. I like San Diego. That's not
let's not.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Act like your Mexican food is different than LA's, all right,
there's great Mexican food in LA. Everybody gets snobby about this.
It's like New York people when you bring up New Jersey.
When I bring up the great food in New Jersey
because New Jersey has awesome food, I'll get just hate
poured into me from the emails about those idiots suck.
It's nothing like New York.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
New York.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
It's no insult to you. New Jersey has great food,
great pizza, great cheese, steaks. I should point out Chris
said they're only eighty miles apart. Hey, Chris, do me
a favorite. Don't ever say that when you're back there, Bud,
don't ever say that. Both of them get super upset
when you make those comparisons. It's like for those people,
it's like comparing your wife to your ex. Just don't
(29:52):
do it, all right, just trust me on that. I
do have some good news though. All the Mexican food
in America is about to improve because of this. Mexico
sets minimum tomato export prices following the end of a
US trade deal. The long story short, We're not gonna
have as many tomatoes in this country.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I love this honestly, this nothing is made. Nothing has
made me as proud to be an American? Is that
right there?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Yai Yai Yai, I am the Fritto Bandito. Hecky I
like Britto scornchits.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
I love them.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
I do.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I want Britto scornchits. I'll get them from you, Yai
Yai Yai, oh im, the Fritto Bunchito. Give me Britto scornchitchin.
I'll be your friend, the Fritto Bunzito. You must not
up pail munch munch munch a bunch of Britos.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I hate tomatoes so much. I can't stop thinking about it.
It actually happened to me. It did happened to me.
It's a few days ago. I went out and got
some Fijidas. You know, I mean, you know how I am.
I'm not got some Fijidas with ub You were watching
the game eating some Fijidas. They come and they set
(31:16):
down this sizzling veheta tray for Bronco, and it's and
it's all the onions and the butter. They had this
little metal cup of butter on there. Chris, it was
boiling the butter. It was so hot. The butter was
like boiling and bubbling over. It was this garlic butter.
(31:36):
Don't shake your head. Oh it was so good man.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You would have loved it.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You would have loved you got to talk the wife
into it. I'm telling you should be fine with it anyway,
all this meat, these onions, they even had a jalapeno
on there.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Some chilis.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I'm kidding, there weren't any chili's, but I just wanted
to say that. The fresh dortas, and they had this
butter on there. But there was this huge, unsightly red
tomato on there, infecting the entire tray with everything. Is
there anything worse than getting a great sandwich or something
(32:12):
and they put a tomato on it, And they tell
you you can take it off, but you can't, not
all the way. Oh sure you can physically remove the tomato,
but have you ever seen a slug crawling across something?
How it leaves that little snail trail behind it, That
(32:34):
snail trail of slime and grease smells like fish. The
tomato does the exact same thing to your food. You
can take it off, but there'll be so much tomato
residue left over it. What Chris, what? What about salsa.
Don't act like that's tomato. But don't act like that's tomato.
(32:56):
They mash it up and mix it up and put
in all kinds of beers and all kinds of other stuff.
Don't pretend like marinaia sauce is tomato or ketchup is tomato. No,
someone figured out how to make something decent out of
the most disgusting food on the planet. That doesn't mean
the food is good. Don't even try that with me.
