Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay. Literally, in the last couple of minutes, there's been
major developments now regarding Pete heg Seth. Okay, so here
is now where more is coming out. A lot more
is coming out. Okay, So here is what we know. Okay.
According to six one seven who just texted me this story, Jeff,
(00:24):
did you know what state supplies billions of dollars worth
of artillery shells to Ukraine? You guessed it? Iowa. Joony
Ernst doesn't want that end, hence a no for hag Seth. Now, furthermore,
(00:50):
listen now to this. President Trump has now come out
and officially made a statement in full support is on
truth social in full support of Pete hag Seth. Quote.
Here's what President elect Trump said. Pete hag Seth is
doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much
(01:13):
more so than the fake news would have you believe.
He was a great student Princeton, Harvard educated with a
military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high
energy Secretary of Defense, secretary, one who leads with charisma
and skill. Pete is a winner and there's nothing that
(01:37):
can be done to change that. By the way, the
media is also covering this up. Not only did Pete
win purple hearts and bronze stars, I mean really distinguish
himself with Valor on the battlefield. Graduate of Harvard. It's
a graduate of Princeton University. I mean, I could go
(01:59):
on and on, but the guysquifications now listen to Victor
Davis Hanson. He's one of the most respected people out there.
I read his stuff religiously. He's one of the wise
men of the commentariat and the pundits out there. A
brilliant conservative. He's now warning Trump and warning all conservatives
(02:21):
listen to what he just wrote on X. The left
now believes it can magically rebound by destroying Donald Trump's
cabinet nominees. Many of Trump's picks are well outside the
usual Washington d C. New York political media and corporate nexus.
(02:43):
But that is precisely the point, to insert reformers into
a bloated, incompetent, and weaponized government who are not part
of it. He's dead on, dead on, dead on. In
other words, he's not part of the establishment or the swamp.
(03:06):
This Washington d C, New York, as Victor Davis Hansen
calls it, political media, corporate nexus, this tight network that
really runs the swamp and is the swamp. And he says, no,
you got to bring in insurgents, outsiders, reformers, and that's
(03:26):
the only way you're going to end this corrupt, weaponized government.
And that's why they've singled out all of his key
magapicks to try to destroy them. Six one, seven, two
sixty six, sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Um, Okay,
one more, very very quickly, very quickly, Okay, here it is.
(03:52):
Senator Jony Ernst has been on the Senate Armed Services
Committee for nine years. This is from five oh eight.
The Pentagon hasn't been able to complete an audit for
nine years. Now you know why Jony Ernst doesn't want
(04:13):
at Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. Where's the money,
Jonie I I that's that is the big concern of
the swamp. That's what I've been saying. He Seth says
he wants to audit the swamp, audit that massive, bloated
(04:34):
military Pentagon budget, and that's why they're all freaking out. Now.
He's a boozer, he's a drinker, he's a rapist, he's
a sexual assaulter, he's running organizations into the ground. He's uh. Now,
they're just throwing everything at the guy. Now, one last one.
(04:55):
I'm sorry, and I promise I'll go to the phone
lines six one seven two six six six sixty eight.
This is from nine one seven Jeff. Here is the
advice I hope you give to Team Trump. If John
Thune will cooperate Senator Thune, he will put the Senate
in recess for one hour right after the inauguration. Trump
(05:21):
will then make recess appointments for all his cabinet choices.
No debate, no hearings, no bs. Get to work and
let the Dems, the Rhinos and the media lose their minds,
but don't play games with them. Ignore them. I am
(05:46):
with you nine one seven all the way. Trump now
should literally throw down the gauntlet and say, you guys
want to keep jerking my people around like this and
smearing them and defaming them, Okay, I'm gonna recess a point.
Pete Hegseeth blank you you want to do the same, TRFK,
(06:10):
I'll recess him. Blank you. You want to keep going
Tulca Gabbard, I'll recess her. Blank you. In other words,
he's got to declare war on the swamp right away.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, joining us now as she always
(06:33):
does at this time the CEO president of Kelly Financial Services,
and yes, that is her wonderful name, Kelly, Kelly Kelly, how.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Are you good morning, Jeff I am good. If you're
new to the world of financial planning and you might
fund the retirement you've always dreamed of, you don't have
to go it alone. When choosing a financial advisor, pick
one that shares your values, listens to what you want,
(07:07):
and understand your expectations. Their knowledge and capability should also
reassure and build trust to enable you to achieve your
retirement goals. The advisors at Kelly Financial will take you
through a planning process that focuses on the generation, preservation,
and distribution of the assets you've worked so hard to save.
(07:31):
For My book, Retire Your Fear Plan Your Future discusses
the importance of an income plan when considering retirement. For
a free copy of the book or a free consultation
with a Kelly advisor, give us a call or email
Kelly at Kellifinancial dot org. Jeff I will continue this
conversation with our Kelly Advisors tomorrow morning at nine am
(07:55):
on Safe Money Strategies Radio. Do tune in or go
to our website for our radio rewind Jess. I have
a wonderful weekend. My best of Grace and the kiddos.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Thank you, all the best to you and everyone at
Kelly Financial. Please I urge all of you call for
a free consultation or to get their guide. Call eight
eight eight eight hundred eighteen eighty one. Eight eight eight
eight hundred eighteen eighty one, or you can email Kelly
herself Kelly at Kelly Financial dot org. That's Kelly at
(08:27):
Kelly Financial dot org. All right, very quickly, this is
from Kevin. Kevin emailed me this. He is a very
long time listener of the show, a good friend of mine,
and we go way back, Okay, Kevin and I go
back many many years. And he really wants me to
(08:49):
read this email. Sorry forgive me this text message that
he sent me to really make a point. And I
think he's completely right. And I'm not saying this the
top hat myself on the back, but really it is true.
Everything what he's writing now is true. Jeff, let me
go out on a limb here to show just what
(09:13):
deviant liars the swamp really are. I've known you for
many years. I can attest to your character, and you,
Jeff Kooner, have to be one of the most squeaky
clean men I have ever known. You've lived an honorable life.
You've worked hard, You've been loyal to your family before God,
(09:35):
and have kept your nose clean all that all these years.
By the way, thank you very much for that, Kevin.
I really appreciate it. I don't know if my wife
would agree with that. I'm just kidding, but no, thank you.
I really appreciate these kind words. Kevin goes on to say,
all that being said, I contend that if Trump were
(09:57):
to have nominated you for any position in his cabinet,
the Judas Rhinos, the media, and the deep state would
have publicly turned you into the next coming of Attila
the Hunt Bingo, Bingo. I'm telling you, I wouldn't recognize myself.
(10:20):
I'd be like Pete Hegseth right now, what I'm an alcoholic?
What what? I take money? What what? I mismanage and
run organizations into the ground? What what? That's what a
bunch of liars? And propagandists they are. And you know,
(10:44):
as another friend of mine, Manny Ribiro, a great veteran,
great vet you know, texted me maybe an hour ago.
He said, Jeff, look, I'm sorry to phrase it this way.
I got to clean it up a little bit. When
does the you know, when is this stop being bs
and this is defamation and it's true, it is. This
(11:04):
is defamation. It's pure defamation. And let me just state
it very quickly. The reason why Jony Ernst and Lindsey
Graham and the Rhinos and the Dems and the entire
machine are against Pete Hegseth is not because you think
(11:27):
he's a drinker or a womanizer or whatever it is. No,
it's because he's against these regime change wars and the
billions and billions of billions that are being squandered and
sent overseas. Because that means your kickbacks end, that means
(11:52):
the money supply into your pockets gets cut off. That's
what this. This is the swamp now saying we've got
to control our money, our power, our control our wealth.
That's the real reason why they opposed Pete Hegseth six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
(12:15):
the number Forest on the north shore. Thanks for holding
Forest and welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Good morning, Jeff, Hi forrest. Happy holidays to you and
everybody in Kuna Country.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
All the best to you and your family.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Forest, Thank you, thank you. So I can't agree. I
agree with your friends two thousand percent about your character
and we're thank you. Rhinos are going involved with this
war mongering.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And all the.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Kickbacks will stop, you know, it just seems and they
have the patent of when they want to smith somebody
a Republican and it started back with Thomas, way back
when it's always in some sort of a actual nature
and it's usually outdated where the accusations are very very
(13:07):
you know.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Hot to prove.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And and now you've got Earnest and all that. You know,
where were these people when the fallacious talk and facts
we're proven that Swallwell was involved with a female Chinese
spy and he's on the Intel Committee. Still, why is
it always that the Democrats do whatever they want and
(13:33):
the facts come out and it's proven that they're wrong,
yet they're still in these powerful positions.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
He said he'll be.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
A great person for this this this position, and and
we all know that when when the when the left
stots screaming and finger pointing and smearing, it's the right
person for that position. And all Trump's picks now, they're
all the right people to be where we want this
country to go.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I couldn't have said it better myself. Forced, you know,
by the enemies now are rayed against tag Seth, against Pete.
He's the right guy for the job if they're all.
If if the lobbyists are against him and the Democrats
and the rhinos and the lying media are against him,
hey we found our guy forrest. Excellent point. Thank you
(14:27):
very much for that call. And by the way, he's
completely right on Swalwell, but on so much. Her name.
The spy's name literally was Fang Feng. So the joke
on Capitol Hill was when Swalwell was sleeping, she was
a Chinese spy. Okay, forgive me. He was banging a
Chinese spy as he was on the House Intelligence Committee.
(14:50):
Do you know what a security breach that is? And
on Capitol Hill is like bang bang with Fang Fang.
Swalwell is still there, Swallowell does media interviews. Swollwell's being promoted.
It is not a problem, not a problem. Pete hegseth.
I was a womanizer. I've changed. I found Jesus was
(15:12):
it six seven years ago? I became a born again Christian.
I'm a new man. Oh well, no, hey, hey, whoa
whoa no, whoa wait hey, well you can't lead the men.
Come on, come on six one seven two, six, six
sixty eight sixty eight. John in Whitman. Thanks for holding
(15:34):
John and welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yes, thanks for taking my call, my pleasure. John. So
I talked to you a couple of times in the past.
This whole thing with tech set. My father was twenty
years in the military. He landed in France in June
sixth and went all the way through to Germany. He
was an enlisted man and left as an officer, came home,
(16:03):
went in front of what was then called the commission,
and he went from lieutenant to captain and he eventually,
after twenty years, retired as a major. He would tell
me about the armchair generals and how you know, you
know they hated what were called mustangs like my father,
(16:28):
because they earned their their stripes. They earned their rank
instead of being given to them because they went to
some college. I don't know if you remember but remember
what Obama did with the Pentagon. He perched it. Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
All the conservative generals, top conservatives in leadership, he just
cleaned them all out.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So a guy like head set scarce delve in gbs
out of them, because he's not like those guys that
say go up that hillman. He's the guy that says,
follow me, you know what I'm saying. So he's going
to scare the living crap out of them, and that's
(17:19):
why they're fighting so hard to keep them out. And
even if he gets into.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
John, can you please hang on, Jeff Cooner, Boston's bulldozer. Okay,
let's go right back to John in Whitman. John, you
were talking about your dad, who served honorably in World
War Two, and we hated these armchair generals and hated mustangs,
as your father characterized himself, you know, basically these fierce
(17:47):
war fighters. Why because people like your dad led by example,
and you know people would follow men like your dad
because they were warriors, they were brave, they were paidots,
unlike these armchair generals who tell you to just take
a hill. Pete Hegseeth is the kind of guy who
(18:08):
charges up the hill and has you follow him up
the hill? Now, John, One of the attacks that they're
making on heg Seth is that because self admitted womanizer philanderer,
that this violates the military Code of ethics, and that
(18:28):
because he cheated on his spouse, because he kind of
played the field a little bit, that this should disqualify
him to be Secretary of Defense. I'm just curious, what
would your father say to that? And what do you
say to that?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Bs? Well, why is that under those standards? Why was
Clinton allowed to ring ring president? What's the difference. I
don't hear them, you know, I didn't hear them calling
(19:06):
for him for what he did. What Clinton did, I
didn't you know, he got away with that? What's you know,
what's the difference? Nothing?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And John, my understanding is, and this is what manny
vets and combat veterans have told me. They go, look, Jeff,
it's war. I mean, it's you know, men will sleep around.
Adultery is just part of life in the mill. Not
everybody does it, obviously, but look look at Vietnam. I mean,
look how many children were sired in Vietnam by our
(19:39):
own troops. If we started to go after people who
had affairs or you know, we're promiscuous or cheated on
their spouses. We throw half the military out. I mean,
am I wrong? John?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
And take a look at the armchair generals. Do you
think they are not playing around?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Come on, John, thank you very much for that call.
I appreciate it. Thank you, and God bless your father.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
John in Redding, Thanks for holding John. And welcome.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Jeff. How are you, my friend?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
John? Good?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Good? I hope you remember me. I'm I'm related to
Jason at the Post. You we've talked before. But anyways, Jeff,
I'm spent seven years in the United States Tommy and
I was at the rank of his size in first
class in my tours of duty in Vietnam, part of
(20:47):
my total. When we were in debate camp and we
came underground attack my team because we were, like I said,
in the seventy fifth ranges, our only job was to
go to the general's compound, and God the general's compound,
and inside the general's compound they had a lot of
(21:07):
what we referred to as donuts dollies. These are the
young women who volunteered their time through the Red Cross,
and they visited the troops and they gave him coffee
and donuts and desserts and things like that. But I
can tell you from the bottom of my heart, on
my children, there was a lot of fraternization with the
(21:29):
upper echelon of officers in these female volunteers. And for
them to question Pete Hankshet about his fidelity, it's ludicrous.
And another thing I to say is, Pete hayesth you
can always tell a true military officer if they have
(21:52):
what they call a combat infantrymen's badge, along with the
purple hot and along with the bronze stock. Those three
together say this guy's seen action. He knows what the
troops are all about. He's the guy I want. Most
of the generals, once they make the rank of brigady
a general, they spend the rest of their times looking
(22:14):
for the second stock. They're no longer soldiers. They're politicians,
and that's all they care about. If you want to
change the Pentagon and you want to make a difference,
you want a guy like Peg Haggson and his drinking stuff.
Nixon and Bush, we're both confirmed alcoholics. What the hell
are they talking about this guy, This guy, the top
(22:37):
of the line guy Hovid Princeton educated, a troop atriot.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This is who we want. John, We've only got about
a minute left. I hate to rush you, but because
I think you've made a magnificent case on behalf of
Pete Hegseth, and you're showing the hypocrisy of the top brass,
which is what John was saying. Would you, as a
man who fought and served in Vietnam urgent, would you
(23:02):
follow Pete Hegseth? Would he have your respect even though
apparently you know he was a womanizer and a philanderer.
Would would the men in the military respect the guy
like Hegseth as head of the the Pentagon and.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
The d D.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
In a military second the offices in general. It makes
me laugh jeft City thinking that someone would question the
fidelity when all the offices had the choice of the prostitutes,
the choice of you know, whatever they want. The drinking
that went on with completely off the jobs. You want
(23:40):
a guy like Pete haik sad Trust me on this one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
What a way to end the show?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
John, Thank you for your service and dynamite call
Okay. Literally, in the last couple of minutes, there's been

one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
(12:15):
the number Forest on the north shore. Thanks for holding
Forest and welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Good morning, Jeff, Hi forrest. Happy holidays to you and
everybody in Kuna Country.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
All the best to you and your family.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Forest, Thank you, thank you. So I can't agree. I
agree with your friends two thousand percent about your character
and we're thank you. Rhinos are going involved with this
war mongering.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And all the.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Kickbacks will stop, you know, it just seems and they
have the patent of when they want to smith somebody
a Republican and it started back with Thomas, way back
when it's always in some sort of a actual nature
and it's usually outdated where the accusations are very very
(13:07):
you know.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Hot to prove.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And and now you've got Earnest and all that. You know,
where were these people when the fallacious talk and facts
we're proven that Swallwell was involved with a female Chinese
spy and he's on the Intel Committee. Still, why is
it always that the Democrats do whatever they want and
(13:33):
the facts come out and it's proven that they're wrong,
yet they're still in these powerful positions.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
He said he'll be.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
A great person for this this this position, and and
we all know that when when the when the left
stots screaming and finger pointing and smearing, it's the right
person for that position. And all Trump's picks now, they're
all the right people to be where we want this
country to go.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I couldn't have said it better myself. Forced, you know,
by the enemies now are rayed against tag Seth, against Pete.
He's the right guy for the job if they're all.
If if the lobbyists are against him and the Democrats
and the rhinos and the lying media are against him,
hey we found our guy forrest. Excellent point. Thank you
(14:27):
very much for that call. And by the way, he's
completely right on Swalwell, but on so much. Her name.
The spy's name literally was Fang Feng. So the joke
on Capitol Hill was when Swalwell was sleeping, she was
a Chinese spy. Okay, forgive me. He was banging a
Chinese spy as he was on the House Intelligence Committee.
(14:50):
Do you know what a security breach that is? And
on Capitol Hill is like bang bang with Fang Fang.
Swalwell is still there, Swallowell does media interviews. Swollwell's being promoted.
It is not a problem, not a problem. Pete hegseth.
I was a womanizer. I've changed. I found Jesus was
(15:12):
it six seven years ago? I became a born again Christian.
I'm a new man. Oh well, no, hey, hey, whoa
whoa no, whoa wait hey, well you can't lead the men.
Come on, come on six one seven two, six, six
sixty eight sixty eight. John in Whitman. Thanks for holding
(15:34):
John and welcome.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yes, thanks for taking my call, my pleasure. John. So
I talked to you a couple of times in the past.
This whole thing with tech set. My father was twenty
years in the military. He landed in France in June
sixth and went all the way through to Germany. He
was an enlisted man and left as an officer, came home,
(16:03):
went in front of what was then called the commission,
and he went from lieutenant to captain and he eventually,
after twenty years, retired as a major. He would tell
me about the armchair generals and how you know, you
know they hated what were called mustangs like my father,
(16:28):
because they earned their their stripes. They earned their rank
instead of being given to them because they went to
some college. I don't know if you remember but remember
what Obama did with the Pentagon. He perched it. Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
All the conservative generals, top conservatives in leadership, he just
cleaned them all out.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So a guy like head set scarce delve in gbs
out of them, because he's not like those guys that
say go up that hillman. He's the guy that says,
follow me, you know what I'm saying. So he's going
to scare the living crap out of them, and that's
(17:19):
why they're fighting so hard to keep them out. And
even if he gets into.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
John, can you please hang on, Jeff Cooner, Boston's bulldozer. Okay,
let's go right back to John in Whitman. John, you
were talking about your dad, who served honorably in World
War Two, and we hated these armchair generals and hated mustangs,
as your father characterized himself, you know, basically these fierce
(17:47):
war fighters. Why because people like your dad led by example,
and you know people would follow men like your dad
because they were warriors, they were brave, they were paidots,
unlike these armchair generals who tell you to just take
a hill. Pete Hegseeth is the kind of guy who
(18:08):
charges up the hill and has you follow him up
the hill? Now, John, One of the attacks that they're
making on heg Seth is that because self admitted womanizer philanderer,
that this violates the military Code of ethics, and that
(18:28):
because he cheated on his spouse, because he kind of
played the field a little bit, that this should disqualify
him to be Secretary of Defense. I'm just curious, what
would your father say to that? And what do you
say to that?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Bs? Well, why is that under those standards? Why was
Clinton allowed to ring ring president? What's the difference. I
don't hear them, you know, I didn't hear them calling
(19:06):
for him for what he did. What Clinton did, I
didn't you know, he got away with that? What's you know,
what's the difference? Nothing?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And John, my understanding is, and this is what manny
vets and combat veterans have told me. They go, look, Jeff,
it's war. I mean, it's you know, men will sleep around.
Adultery is just part of life in the mill. Not
everybody does it, obviously, but look look at Vietnam. I mean,
look how many children were sired in Vietnam by our
(19:39):
own troops. If we started to go after people who
had affairs or you know, we're promiscuous or cheated on
their spouses. We throw half the military out. I mean,
am I wrong? John?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
And take a look at the armchair generals. Do you
think they are not playing around?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Come on, John, thank you very much for that call.
I appreciate it. Thank you, and God bless your father.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
John in Redding, Thanks for holding John. And welcome.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Jeff. How are you, my friend?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:24):
John? Good?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Good? I hope you remember me. I'm I'm related to
Jason at the Post. You we've talked before. But anyways, Jeff,
I'm spent seven years in the United States Tommy and
I was at the rank of his size in first
class in my tours of duty in Vietnam, part of
(20:47):
my total. When we were in debate camp and we
came underground attack my team because we were, like I said,
in the seventy fifth ranges, our only job was to
go to the general's compound, and God the general's compound,
and inside the general's compound they had a lot of
(21:07):
what we referred to as donuts dollies. These are the
young women who volunteered their time through the Red Cross,
and they visited the troops and they gave him coffee
and donuts and desserts and things like that. But I
can tell you from the bottom of my heart, on
my children, there was a lot of fraternization with the
(21:29):
upper echelon of officers in these female volunteers. And for
them to question Pete Hankshet about his fidelity, it's ludicrous.
And another thing I to say is, Pete hayesth you
can always tell a true military officer if they have
(21:52):
what they call a combat infantrymen's badge, along with the
purple hot and along with the bronze stock. Those three
together say this guy's seen action. He knows what the
troops are all about. He's the guy I want. Most
of the generals, once they make the rank of brigady
a general, they spend the rest of their times looking
(22:14):
for the second stock. They're no longer soldiers. They're politicians,
and that's all they care about. If you want to
change the Pentagon and you want to make a difference,
you want a guy like Peg Haggson and his drinking stuff.
Nixon and Bush, we're both confirmed alcoholics. What the hell
are they talking about this guy, This guy, the top
(22:37):
of the line guy Hovid Princeton educated, a troop atriot.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This is who we want. John, We've only got about
a minute left. I hate to rush you, but because
I think you've made a magnificent case on behalf of
Pete Hegseth, and you're showing the hypocrisy of the top brass,
which is what John was saying. Would you, as a
man who fought and served in Vietnam urgent, would you
(23:02):
follow Pete Hegseth? Would he have your respect even though
apparently you know he was a womanizer and a philanderer.
Would would the men in the military respect the guy
like Hegseth as head of the the Pentagon and.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
The d D.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
In a military second the offices in general. It makes
me laugh jeft City thinking that someone would question the
fidelity when all the offices had the choice of the prostitutes,
the choice of you know, whatever they want. The drinking
that went on with completely off the jobs. You want
(23:40):
a guy like Pete haik sad Trust me on this one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
What a way to end the show?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
John, Thank you for your service and dynamite call
