(00:00):
This is a podcast from wo R. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. I will get to some emails and
stuff this hour. We have yetanother statue of an American legend coming down.
Why does this happen? Apparently theykeep running into violent people here at
the RNC. They just snatch somedude up with an ak and a ski

(00:23):
mask. So things are going tobe spicy all week apparently here. But
let's just finish up our thoughts onthis taser. Just now joining us guy
wrote an email and he said theLeft will turn things into shameful things to
say, but people don't change theirminds about them necessarily, they'll just stop

(00:44):
talking about it. Well, Iwant to explain it this way. Uh.
You know, you know my wifeAubrey. You know, she's the
healthy one. She's the health freaknational gymnasty and she's one of those types.
Me not as much, especially whenit comes to my food. I
prefer to eat things that aren't disgustinglike she does. And so we had

(01:10):
you remember this, people who listenedto the show a long time. We
have these a peanut butter war,how mini peanut butter War in the house.
I just want to I just wantto jarge with peanut butter. That's
all. I'm gonna walk around thehouse, probably with the jar in my
hands, eating it with a spoon. I just do. I just walk
around eating it with a spoon.I'll put it on a banana, I'll
put it on toast. I'll makea little peeb and Jay sandwich with a

(01:33):
little raspberry spread on there. I'llgo. I'm just mister peanut butter.
You can call me mister nutter butter. I take that back. Don't ever
call me that. I didn't thinkthat through, but you understand exactly what
I'm saying. I am a peanutbutter freak. And she did another one
of those there's too many preservatives typething, and so she buys some weird

(01:55):
organic who knows what it was.It was disgusting, is what it was.
Peanut butter. So it was awful. I hated it, boys hated
it. We all hated it.Now, before this war came, that's
the part we haven't talked about yet, And it'll come back to the cultural
things. Stay with me. Beforethat came, what happened was every time

(02:20):
I would grab the peanut butter,she would say, or the boys are
grabbed the peanut butter. Hey,we need to switch. I just want
to let you know she's gonna switch. Or I'm gonna switch. We're gonna
stop buying gif I'm gonna stop,We're gonna switch. I'm telling you right
now, we're gonna switch. Youwould over and over and over and over
and over again. Why did Ieventually relent shortly and allow the organic whatever,

(02:43):
super healthy peanut butter to get there? Why did I do that?
Because it would quiet things? Now, I just want to go get a
frigging spoon, and I just wantto get a big old glove of peanut
butter. And Fred will follow mearound the house because he knows he's gonna
get to clean it off of itby the time I'm done. I just
want to do this in relative piece, you know what. Just get the

(03:04):
other peanut butter. I'm sure itwon't be that fine. People, historically,
no matter what, whether it's aboutpeanut butter or whether it's about a
nation, people will accept things theydo not agree with to avoid getting yelled
at, to avoid making things uncomfortable, to avoid getting things heated. Look

(03:24):
speaking of marriage, Le'll just tellyou this right now. And I'm certainly
not in any kind of a marriageexpert obviously, as you know. But
one of the biggest mistakes young couplesmake is they try to avoid fighting.
For me, I was telling themit's a mistake whenever you get with a
young couple and they'll say, wenever fight. We're just so in love,

(03:45):
we never fight. Why don't youfight? Why wouldn't you fight.
You're two different people. You obviouslyare gonna have disagreements about some things.
Now you don't want to you wantto keep it within reason, but you
never argue. If you never argue, then somebody is shutting their mouth when
they should be speaking up. Thatis a fact. But that is not

(04:10):
human nature. Human nature is toseek out calm, quiet peace, and
the Communists have used that in oursociety against us relentlessly. And it has
in either large ways or small ways. If you're being honest with yourself,
somehow, some way it has shapedsomething you have said or something you didn't

(04:34):
say. Oh I didn't want towant to say that that way, that
that person might find it defensive.Oh I don't want to say this.
Yeah, they've been there have beena lot of yelling about that. I'm
not sure if if you shouldn't saythat. That is why they do it,
and that's why they create these huge, just thunderstorms of rage at the

(04:56):
drop of a hat, because theyunderstand there is power in that if you
lack shame, if you don't seekcalm, and you don't seek peace,
and instead you seek destruction and dominationlike the communist does. If you don't
seek calm and peace, there's hugepower there over people who seek it.
That's a fact. They can useyour values against you in that way as

(05:20):
well. Well. I just don'tI want everyone to I want everyone to
think I'm nice. I don't wantany mean comments on Facebook. They use
that stuff a lot. All Right, I've got to play this one.
Looks like toning down the rhetoric lasteda long time. When you say there's

(05:40):
nothing wrong with going to the capitol, breaking in, threatening people, a
couple of cops time tanging up,put up a noose and gallows for dumb
for the vice the former vice president, and so somehow you and then you
say you're gonna forgive people for that, they're going to pardon them, that

(06:02):
that was just a normal response,that is not I have my entire career
voted against m railed against that,and moved against the idea of violence is
never appropriate, never never, never, never, never involved. Yeah,
and here's how you responded when askedabout the debate your last TV interview.

(06:26):
You were asked if you had watchedthe debate, and your answer was,
I don't think so. No,have you since seen it? I've seen
pieces of it, I've not watchingthe whole debate. And the reason I
asked because I guess the question isare you all on the same page?
Are you seeing what they saw,which was moments of Frankly that appeared to
be you appeared to be confused,Lester, Look, why don't you guys

(06:48):
ever talk about the eighteen twenty eightlies he told? And then it happens
if you have another episode like wesaw during the debate, What happens?
What happens if you have another performanceon that part on that level, I

(07:09):
don't plan to have a love forus on that What happens if what happens
if you do that again? Idon't, Thanks, jo, I appreciate
it. Dear Jesse. While atthe convention, you'd brought up how I
can access these Medal of Honor citationson my own on the internet. I
am sure I'm not the only oneinterested. Where do we get go on

(07:30):
the internet to find these? Uh, there's a few different places. I
know the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. I know that that's one of them.
But there are several websites, butI know that's one of them.
If you just do an Internet searchfor Congressional Medal of Honors Society, if
you're interested in those Medal of Honorcitations that are all listed there, separated

(07:53):
out by conflict, separated out bybranch of service. It is a fascinating
read. I'm warning you right nowthough. It's like going in to a
website with an endless volume of interestingshort stories. It becomes an addiction when
you log into it and you startlogging in and you're reading this story for

(08:16):
army from this conflict and marines fromthis conflict, and you realize how many
heroes they are there are out there, and you can't stop once you start,
you can't stop. On warning you, Hey, Jesse, regardless of
your feelings about unity, what areyour thoughts about President Trump rewriting his convention

(08:37):
speech to address unity. His nameis Chuck. Okay, let's talk about
that, because you know, Ireject the notion of unity. As long
as it's a notion without a concreteplan, it means nothing. It's a
bumper sticker, it means absolutely nothing. It's a child's blanky that makes you
feel better, it means absolutely nothing. So what do I think about Trump
rewriting his speech? Let's talk aboutthat, Ry Frank Way, Before I

(09:01):
talk about that, let's talk abouthow are you planning on eating if the
power goes out? Do you thinkdo you think the open border for the
last three and a half years,do you think some bad people came across
that border? And do you thinkany of those people have a concrete plan
in place already to go after ourpower grid? Let me clue you in

(09:24):
they do. This is something weknow from intelligence. Now the enemy knows
we are vulnerable there. Well,what happens to your grocery store? We
just had a freaking' hurricane in Houston. Our grocery stores have been down for
days. They lost it all.You didn't have it before the hurricane.
You weren't getting it afterwards. Mypatriots applies sales emergency food kits. They

(09:48):
sell emergency three month food kits twohundred dollars off right now, everyone who
lives with you needs one. Ifit's just one of you, just get
one. You don't have to gocrazy. Everyone needs a three month emergency
food kit at Prepare with Jesse Kellydot com. That's where you get two
hundred dollars off Prepare with Jesse Kellydot com. We'll be back. The

(10:13):
city is the Jesse Kelly Show.Gosh, it's tough to interrupt Johnny Rivers.
Nevertheless I will because we have tohave a discussion about this before we
get to Iran trying to kill PresidentTrump. Before we get to That's question
was you know, I've been goingoff about the unity and peace thing.
Again. Unity and peace are fine, but those words themselves mean nothing,

(10:37):
absolutely nothing, unless there's an actualconcrete plan to get there. Oh,
we need to unify. What doesthat mean? That's a child's blanky that
makes you feel better when the wind'sblowing. It doesn't actually accomplish anything at
all. So stop saying those thingsto me. But e peace, okay,
how what's the plan for that?Who's gonna lay down their swords.

(11:00):
What does that mean? All right, That's what I've been saying. And
she said, Hey, Jesse,regarding your feelings about unity, what are
your thoughts about President Trump rewriting hisconvention speech to address unity. It's actually
it's not a she. It's froma guy named Chuck. What a great
name. Chuck. All right,let me talk to you about something.

(11:20):
We are at the Republican Convention.It doesn't matter what. I'm not talking
about physically, I'm talking about timelinewise. It's July sixteenth, it's the
Republican Convention. Trump is going toofficially be the nominee in a couple of
days. I think it's what isit Thursday? I believe it is they
making the nominee, Chris? Isthat right? What am I asking you
for? Chris never knows anything,but I think it's Thursday when he officially

(11:41):
becomes a nominee. So this periodof time can be very difficult and probably
will be difficult for someone like youand someone like me. So what am
I talking about? Someone like youor someone like me. You are the
hard or politically involved person. Youknow the issues, you know what you

(12:03):
want. You're probably pretty far tothe right I know we have a bunch
of kind of middle of the roadpeople who listen, and I realize we
have a bunch of dirty commies whohate listen. But for the most part,
you're probably someone far to the right. So allow me to just give
it to you. The Trump portionof the campaign that was aimed at you

(12:26):
is over. It's absolutely over.This is now general election presidential politics.
Now, that's what it is.The things Trump is going to say,
even positions he may take publicly,I don't know whether he believes them or

(12:46):
thinks them. At this point intime, Trump is going to say and
do many many things in order tocoalition build to ensure he wins the White
House in November. And I'm notcomplaining about that. And I'm also not
celebrating that that's the way politics works. Every time. During the primary,

(13:09):
I know, I hit the microphoneagainst shut up Chris. During the primary
process, that's when they try totalk to you. That's when they try
to convince you. Now I'm theone furthest to the right. I'm the
one who actually secure the border.I'm now that we have a nominee.
That's over. That is over.And this is why I implore everyone to

(13:31):
get involved in local elections. Inprimaries, that is the time to hash
out exactly what you want your GOPrep or senator or one running for president.
The primary is the time to makethat decision. Now, when we
get here, the portion of theelection that was meant for you is over

(13:52):
because a campaign, any presidential campaign, this is not unique to Trump's.
Any Republican nominee at this point intime, will automatically bank on your vote
and should bank on your vote.Does that mean every single one of you
who's gonna vote, No, Iknow there are a bunch of people who
plan on voting RFK. There area bunch of people who plan on not

(14:15):
voting for Trump. They're mad aboutthis at the VACS or something like.
I understand I'm not talking about that. But for the most part, a
Republican nominee should be focusing every minuteof every day on the people he doesn't
have yet, and that means ignoringyou, ignoring me. I've said this

(14:39):
before, and it's wild how differentlypeople hear what I'm about to say.
Some people took this as some hardcoredefense of Trump. Of course, the
Trump worshipers took it as some insultof Trump when it's neither of the two.
What Trump says between now and Novemberdoesn't really matter to me at all

(15:01):
anymore. All that matters now.The only thing that matters is if Trump
wins, what does he do?If Trump wins, what does he do?
And I don't have the answer tothat, and you don't have the

(15:22):
answer to that. I don't know. If he does pull this off in
November and it looks good, Idon't know what his plans are for governing.
Is this going to be the fouryears where there is some swamp drainage?
Is he going in there as ifhe's the sword of God to clean
out this deep state corruption, togo after all these people who've done us

(15:46):
wrong, who've done him wrong?Is that his plan? That might be
his plan, and if it is, sign me up for it. I
don't know. I know that hecan't run a general election talking about that,
so I don't expect I expect himto do that if he's elected and
it looks on the bad side.If he's elected, it's his plan to

(16:08):
just kind of moderate and do abuy the book down the middle presidency,
trying to soothe over some hard feelingswith the media and be known as the
guy who did it. Kind ofnormal at the end. I don't know.
You don't know, so don't pretendlike you do. We don't know,
but none of us know. Theproof will be in the pudding,

(16:29):
as it's saying goes, we'll knowwhen the time comes. I don't know
what we're gonna get, but Iknow that the campaign between now and then
it's not meant for you. It'snot meant for me, and it shouldn't
be. It shouldn't be. Thisis going to be a campaign that's probably

(16:49):
going to nauseate you, like mostgeneral election campaigns do, because the campaign
is for nauseating people. You knowwho these people are. We call them
norm or norma. This is acampaign that will be so dumb down and
basic. You're just going to seead after ad after ad about immigration,

(17:14):
inflation, public safety. Almost everyad you see it is probably going to
fall somewhere in that theme. Getused to it. The election for us
over all? Right, all right, we'll talk about this Iranian plot to
take out Trump. Before we talkabout that, let's talk about the greatest
freaking bedding on the planet. Mypillow and I love that they've expanded beyond

(17:40):
that. Originally, obviously it wasjust my pillow, and that just blew
up everywhere as people figured out,hold on, I don't have to spend
a fortune to have the greatest pillowever. But that morphed into these other
incredible products, and now they haveitem after item after item. They're sandals.
Honestly, every time they have abig sale on the sandals, they

(18:02):
sell out every single time. They'resix piece towel sets. They're amazing.
You realize that both those things aretwenty five dollars. Right now at my
pillow dot com, you click onthe radio listener special Square and use to
promo code Jesse. They have alaundry list of things that are twenty five
bucks. Go MyPillow dot com,click on the radio listener special Square and

(18:27):
use the promo code Jesse or callthem eight hundred and eight four five zero
five four four. Now, let'stalk about this headline. I've seen a
bunch of this today US detected Iranianplot to kill Trump separate from last week
shooting. Oh, let's have achat about Iran Trump and lies. Hang

(18:53):
on, it is the Jesse KellyShow, Live from the Republican National Convention
here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ifeel like such a journalist when I say
it like that. Chris, youdo you look at me differently now than
you did before. That is true. I don't have the SoundBite. Well,
you didn't send me with my soundboard. I have this little stupid soundboard

(19:15):
that doesn't have my fart sound orthe WI are you gay SoundBite or anything
like that. So I'm basically nakedhere. I'm doing a show with no
help, which granted, that's howI normally have to do it because Chris
is the only one there who's supposedto be helping. Anyway, if you'd
like to email the show, youcan Jesse at jesse kellyshow dot com.
Now, okay, you know thiswhole assassination attempt. We've talked about it

(19:41):
at length. There's a lot ofthings about it that smell and don't add
up if you missed it last night. Last night, we had Clay Martin
on at the very beginning of theshow. He's a former Green Beret sniper
type, and I kept him onfor twenty thirty minutes. Last I to
break some things down, help meunderstand things, help you understand things.

(20:03):
Why was this not done? Whywas that not done? And you know,
no, you know, Clay hadsome very direct things to say about
the response and lack of response.You know what I've said about it.
I don't have any idea what tobelieve, and I probably never will because
we don't have anyone we can trust. Are we dealing with some twenty year

(20:25):
old nutjob lost his mind decided hewas going to kill Donald Trump all on
his own? Oh yeah, thatmight be absolutely what we have. Are
we dealing with something bigger, somethingmore evil, an organization, government or
otherwise using a patsy to take outa powerful person, as they've done many

(20:48):
many times before in the past.Is that what we're dealing with. I
don't know. I can't dismiss anything, and if you say you can,
I say that you're wrong, You'renaive. There's nothing that can be dismissed.
Maybe the most obvious benign explanation inthe world. It may be some
huge palace coupe put on by theCIA or something. I don't know,
like we were never going to knowbecause we can't trust anything. But here's

(21:14):
something I definitely know. The thingsthat don't add up, the more we
get information they keep not adding up, meaning the further we get away from
it, the more video we get, the more audio we get, the
more I when this testimony we get, the more official reports we get from

(21:37):
this police department, this sheriff's department, this group, that group, this
group, that group. It's it'snot getting any clearer. In fact,
it looks worse and worse and worse. And then today I saw this doozy
headline after headline after headline elude tothe fact that US intelligence agencies were tracking

(22:06):
a potential assassination attempt of Trump byIran. Okay, so let's deal with
that. On its face, isthat unbelievable, Not at all. In
fact, it's something that's very verybelievable. Remember, Trump is the one
who approved the taking out of CassamSolamani, their general. Iran has had

(22:27):
a huge ax to grind with Trumpever since then, and they've said so
very very publicly, this is someonethey do want dead. Okay, so
it's plausible. We also know thatwe have a wide open border, so
if they wanted to bring assassins intothis country, they would have had no
trouble doing so. That happens whenyou elect communists who open up the border

(22:48):
of your country. So that's bad, all right, It's again believable.
We also know this the intelligence networkof Iran. It is a big boy
intelligence network, very sophisticated. Weas Americans, I'm as guilty as this
as anyone else. Especially when wethink about Middle Eastern countries, Islamic countries,

(23:11):
we tend to think about them asmore backwards than they really are.
Iran is a country that has amajor intelligence network. They have a major
military as well. Iran is notsome tiny, little mud hut country.
So is it believable that Iran wastaking out Trump, that they are planning

(23:34):
on taking out Trump? Because whoknows that plan may still be in place.
Oh of course, it's something that'spossible, certain, more than possible.
But I find the timing of itto be very very interesting. You
see, Donald Trump almost loses hislife if he doesn't turn his head.

(23:56):
He does lose his life, rightbefore the convention where he was going to
accept the nomination. Also at atime when Joe Biden's cognitive decline is headline
news everywhere. Are they going toreplace him? Are they going to not
replace him? Let me ask youhow many times over the last forty eight
hours. Have you read a majoror watched a major news story about the

(24:18):
effort to replace Joe Biden. Haven'tseen many of those, have you.
It's kind of fallen out of thenews despite the fact the guy still can't
talk and apparently doesn't know who aSecret Service director is. Is it acceptablely
you have still not heard, atleast publicly from the Secret Service director?
Oh, I've heard, Sean.What have you heard from her publicly?

(24:40):
Public? Graft sat down in asituation downstairs Secret Service. Ye Oh,
I've heard from him, except it'sa her, and it's a her that
he himself appointed. Okay, Sothe timing of this, let's do a
little revisionist history. They take outDonald Trump before the convention, at a

(25:00):
time when Joe Bind's pull numbers arein free fall and everyone's calling for his
head. Okay, and now theattempt fails. Now you have to deal
with the fallout of that. Theassassination attempt fails. Of course, the
shooter, the lone gunman, he'sdead, as they always turn out to
be somehow someway, they always endup dying really shortly afterwards, whether they

(25:26):
run into Jack Ruby at a parkinggarage, whether it's a sniper bullet to
the dome, it's weird how theselone gunmen always get killed so quickly.
But anyway, now, at atime when the Secret Service and the failures
to protect Trump our headline news,now we're being told that it was the

(25:48):
Iranians. I'm sorry. That justseems a little too neat and convenient for
this man. Keeping mind, thesame people telling you it was the Iranians
who tried to take out Trump.Those are the same people that told you
COVID came from a bowl of batsoup and wuhan. These are the exact

(26:11):
same people who told you the maskthe vaccine would slow the spread. These
are the people who told you Trumpcolluded with Russia. George Floyd was a
saint who didn't die of a drugovernose. All the same people who've told
you these things are now telling youit was the Iranians. Sorry, I

(26:32):
don't believe anything you people say atall. And then we have joy Anne
Reeve and a fear that what's goingto happen now is that the Republican Party
will do what they do, butthe media will acquiesce to trying to convince
people that the things they've been experiencingfor the last you know, five six

(26:52):
years didn't happen that the greatest purveyorand promoter of political violence really, you
know, since anyone can remember,since George Wallace. I think you know
that we just haven't experience this kindof open, you know, sort of
citing or sort of incitement of violenceor sort of luxuriating in the idea.

(27:17):
But it's just not something we're usedto anymore in American politics. And then
we had to get used to thatbeing a thing, and people are concerned
and expressing concern that we won't bethe guardians of memory and that we won't
allow John, I can't I getthe guardians of memory the way these people
see themselves. Yeah, I justfind the whole thing interesting. Headline Trump

(27:41):
rally shooting up ends Democrats, Bidencrisis. Now everyone's focused on something else
that was very oddly timed, wouldn'tyou agree? Extremely oddly timed anyway,
Jesse, this nagging question about thewhole thing, as do I the Secret

(28:03):
Service leaves this roof uncovered? Howdoes this twenty year old kid know just
where to go? Just how toget up on this roof. Don't you
find it a bit strange? Hisname is Roy. Oh. I find
it extremely strange. I find theselatest reports we have more than strange.

(28:23):
We're getting reports about the kid beingin there with a range finder beforehand,
and the cops saw him in therewith a range finder. Why would he
know to go to that roof?Did he carry a ladder to that roof?

(28:45):
Or I don't know what would beworse if he carried it to the
roof, or if there was onealready there. Look, we're never going
to know the answers to these questions. And I don't want to promote conspiracy
theories because I don't know. You'llnever know. Oh. I find a
lot of this strange, and Idon't believe any of these people. And
I also don't believe you're still walkingaround with that daily pain that you experience,

(29:06):
that pain. You wake up everysingle morning you're grabbing your neck.
Ah, maybe this is the dayand it's not gone, is it?
It affects your sleep, doesn't it? It affects your mood. Daily pain
sucks the life out of you.It does, and you know you could
take steps to stop that. Yourbody's already trying to fight that inflammation.

(29:29):
But your body needs help, otherwisethe pain would already be gone. That's
where relief Factor comes in. Drugfree, unnatural. It helps your body's
natural response to inflammation. You takeit every single day. You take it
for three weeks, and then tellme how you feel. Watch it disappear.
There's the reason everyone calls to ordermore. The stuff's miraculous, Man

(29:52):
miraculous. Go to relief Factor dotcom or you can give them a call
one eight hundred the number four Reliefone segment left, hang out feeling a
little stocky, Follow, like andsubscribe us. It is the Jesse Kelly
Show. Final segment of the JesseKelly Show. But don't worry, we
will return tomorrow. You should sendme an email. We're still getting these,

(30:15):
as you can tell. I don'tknow how he's doing it. Somehow,
Jewish producer Chris is getting the emailsand physical form over to me so
I can read them. Email usJesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. All
right, all right? And alsoI was thinking about this. I don't
think that space travel is as coolas astronauts make it out to be.

(30:37):
And I have be clear, Iunderstand why they do it, because it's
this really impressive thing to be anastronaut. And all those guys they're normally
pilots and fighter pilots, and they'rereally especially the beginning, they're such impressive
people. So it's not that I'mdogging on being an astronaut. I think
that's really impressive. But I feellike when you're an astronaut, you have

(31:03):
to come back and say how coolit was, and say how great it
was. Oh my gosh, it'sthe best. Really? Which part?
Which part you're telling me? You'retelling me that suit doesn't get you a
little claustrophobic, telling me that Icall bull crap. You're telling me you

(31:23):
enjoy going p on yourself. Youknow they have to wear diapers or something
in there, right, That's howthey have to do that. Don't tell
me you're enjoying that. You tellme you sleep well in space. You
know those beds suck. You knowthe food sucks. I think they've been
over selling it to everybody for along long time. And if you're a

(31:44):
kid out there who dreams of beingan astronaut, I think you need to
set those dreams aside. Because I'mtelling you right now it's gonna suck.
What Chris, what is zero gWhat are you talking about? Is this
about money again, Chris? Oh? No gravity? Okay, okay,
no gravity. You know what.That'd be fine for five minutes. It'd

(32:05):
be fine for five minutes, andthen it would get so unbelievably old.
I don't have to chase down myorange juice, okay, I just want
to be able to pour it downmy throat. Anyway, let's talk about
some more important things. Sorry,Chris got me distracted. Jesse, I
spent over twenty years in the UnitedStates Secret Service, full time detail for
four years, saddened by what hashappened in my agency. I actually got

(32:27):
a few of these from former SecretService guys. This is this is a
period of time. It's it's everyone'sfacing challenges. I don't want to act
like there's only one generation that's havingit worse than the others. The younger
generation they have they've got unique challenges, and older generations have unique challenges.
But this is a period of timewhen I feel genuinely bad for about my

(32:52):
dad's generation. I would say,if you're if you're fifty to eighty fifty
to ninety. I feel the worstfor you. Why because these revered,
formerly wonderful institutions, maybe institutions thatyou used to belong to, they've turned

(33:15):
rotten. And what happens is notonly are you upset because you used to
be part of it and whatnot,but that became understandably part of your life
and part of your life's resume.Like this guy here, he said he's
twenty years Secret Service. I'm surehe's not a braggart. But if he
finds himself having a conversation with people, who are you, where you're from,

(33:38):
you married? What do you do? I have no doubt at some
point in time it comes up thathe spent twenty years in the United States
Secret Service? Why wouldn't it comeup? Isn't that freaking cool? That's
one of those short list things onyour life's resume that you will bring up

(33:59):
to people when you're in conversation withyourself. So how do you handle it?
How do you deal with it?If the United States Secret Service goes
bad? We've talked about this.Maybe you go through this, Maybe you
went to one of these prestigious universities, would is use Harvard, But there

(34:20):
are how many examples? Sadly,there are a lot of examples, but
how many examples could we use.If you went to Harvard, let's say
you graduated from Harvard in the eightiesor something along those lines, well,
that's pretty much amazing. Most peoplecan't even get a sniff of getting into
Harvard. You not only got in, you made the grades, you passed.

(34:42):
And now look, if you Harvard, you know wherever you went,
you have that diploma hanging in youroffice, don't you. Maybe it's at
home, in the office, maybemaybe it's at work. But that's one
of those things you kind of leadwith, don't you. You're prow of
that, understandably proud of that.How do you mentally, emotionally deal with

(35:07):
the fact that Harvard has become aputrid place, a place where your values,
the values you have, the valuesyou had, they're completely rejected and
frankly despised. That is a lotto deal with. And I have a

(35:27):
lot of sympathy for that older generation, just a little bit older than me,
going through this watching organizations, institutionsyou've admired your entire life, watching
them be taken from you. Thisis the head of the secret Service after
Trump almost died. Who is mostresponsible for this happening? What I would
say is that the Secret Service isresponsible for the protection of the former president.

(35:51):
So the buck stops with you,the buck stops with me. I
am the director of the Secret Service. It was unacceptable and it's something that
shouldn't happen again. The President andHomeland Security Secretary said today they had one
hundred percent confidence in you, butthere are some members of Congress calling on
you to resign. I appreciate theSecretary's comments, and we're going to continue

(36:12):
to be transparent and communicate with people. You plan to stay on absolutely?
I do plan to stay. Howsad is that if Secret Service is part
of your resume that that's the hurtright. This has been a podcast from wor
