Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. And
obviously we're gonna keep you posted on everything that's happening.
There was an attack in case you're just now tuning in,
just happened recently. There was a rocket attack in Iraq

(00:31):
against our base. There are American troops hurt, possibly one dead.
We're tracking all this. I'll keep you posted as the
show goes throughout. So that's gonna be part of the show. Sadly,
another part of the show is going to be the
Dome VP watch. The thinking was it was gonna be
Shapiro of Pennsylvania, but now he might be on the outs.

(00:55):
The rumors are flying that it's gonna be Tim Waltz
of Minnesota. Everyone see to me right now in Minneapolis
just drove their car off a bridge. But it may
very well be Tim Waltz. I'll keep you posted if
any of these things happen during the show. As a journalist,
it's my obligation to tell you, so I will let
you know. We really will, Chris Michael, they're monitoring all

(01:15):
this stuff. We're monitoring it during the breaks. We'll keep
you posted whatever's going on out there. But we're done
with politics for a few I'm done with it. I'm
gonna talk a little bit of history because I think
it might help give us a little bit of perspective
on some possible rocky times. If today was the beginning
of rocky times, there may be just a little bit
on the radar. I think a little history is not

(01:36):
only fun and interesting and beneficial, but it can we
can learn lessons from it, and then from that that'll
tie us right into the Medal of Honor citation, which
because of course it's Medal of Honor Monday time. But
set all that aside for a moment. I want you
to imagine something. I want you to imagine this, all right.

(01:57):
You are a picture of football field in your mind.
Football field. Everyone knows what one looks like. You are
on the ten yard line, right. You are ten yards
from the end zone. You're ten yards from a touchdown.
You have no cover because obviously it's a football field.

(02:18):
You have no cover. If you get to the end zone,
which is ten yards away, you win. But I have
four different machine gun nests aimed at you, and as
soon as they start shooting, you're going to be torn

(02:42):
to shreds. Let me ask you something, what would it
take for you to walk that ten yards? To attempt
to walk that ten yards? It's only ten yards? Gosh,
ten yards pretty easy, right? Is there any amount of
money that it would take to walk that ten y yards? Okay, no,
on the ten yards. What if it was fifty yards?

(03:08):
What if it was one hundred yards? What if you
had to make that walk with no cover at all
for seven hundred yards? Men have done that? Do you
know that. Let's talk about Taro really quickly. I'm not

(03:29):
going to do a huge backstory on the war in
the Pacific. If you've listened to this show at all,
you'd know a bunch of it. But just know obviously
the attack in Pearl Harbor comes the Japanese Imperial Empire.
It was one of many attacks they launched over the
next couple months. They did a bunch over that forty
eight seventy two hours, But over the next couple months,

(03:52):
their plan was, let's take over all kinds of different
places the Philippines and beyond fortify these places. We know
the Americans will be angry, we know they'll counterattack, but
we also know the Americans are super soft. We'll kill
enough of them. Eventually we'll sue for peace, and then

(04:13):
no matter what happens, when the war's over, we will
have more territory than we had at the beginning of
the war. And we went That was the Japanese thinking
when they launched the attack on Pearl Harbor, Okay. So
they attack Pearl Harbor, America gets fired up. We decide
we're going to attack, probably before we were ready, but

(04:34):
we were trying to wrong foot the Japanese, and we
attack Guadalcanal. It was really the first major campaign of
the war. Guadalcanal. It's a famous one. If you were
a marine, you know all about Guadalcanal. So the Guadalcanal
Second Marine Division guadalcanow Okay, Guatdalcanal ends the second Marine Division.
They pull these guys out. They have suffered so many casualties.

(04:58):
They are diza ridden because Guadalcanal is a jungle nightmare.
So we're talking berry berry malaria, just horrible, horrible diseases.
They pull this unit out and they send them to
a place to rest and retrain and get some men
to replace all the ones you've lost. So we're talking

(05:19):
second Marine Division here. Eventually these men are prepped and
ready to go, and then the United States military decides
on taking Tarowa. Now I'm gonna give you just a
little back and forth on how this went. There are
many men leaders at the time who thought this entire campaign,

(05:41):
the attempt to take Tarawah, was a critical mistake. There
are many men like Chester Nimitz, the famous admiral, who said,
it was a no brainer. You had to take Taroa.
But why will we take Tarawa? Well, remember this, always
remember this when it comes to the war in the
Pacific marching essentially, just look at that Pacific Ocean. You're

(06:03):
marching from Hawaii and you're trying to get to Japan,
and you have all kinds of islands and island chains
and things like that that are kind of on your
way to Japan. And what you have to do if
you're America as you have to decide which ones you're
gonna take, which ones you have to take, which ones

(06:25):
you just kind of want to take. You're trying to
take the islands because you're trying to take the airstrips.
The Pacific War is an airstrip war. We believed in
land based bombers to help us take the next chain.
So we were trying to get to and we eventually
did the Mariana Islands. But before you got to the

(06:47):
Mariana Islands, you had to get to the Marshall Islands.
And before you got to the Marshall Islands, you had
to get to the Gilbert Islands. And the Gilbert Islands
brings us to a place called Taroa. And I swear
there's gonna be a sunny, happier ending to this story
when I get there. You're just gonna have to bear

(07:07):
with me. They choose the second Marine Division, guys who
had already been hardened in combat from Guadalcanal, although they
had a lot of green troops now because a lot
of guys died, and they say, hey, you go take Taroa. Now.
Taroa is the most tiny, useless spit of ground you've

(07:29):
ever seen in your life. It's two miles long by
eight hundred yards wide. It's practically not even there. It's
the kind of place if you're there during a hurricane,
you're gonna die. It's not even I don't even know
how it's an island. It's not even there, but it

(07:49):
is in a really important strategic location, and the Japanese
know it's in an important strategic location, so they do
something that would end up so serving them very very
well and it would serve us very very poorly. They
take one of, if not their finest, defensive commanders and

(08:12):
they plant him on that island an entire year before
we landed on taroa an entire year. What Chris, are
you looking at the island? I know there's nothing there.
There's nothing there, right, So they put this defensive commander
on the island and they tell him fortify it. The
Americans are coming. And this guy using not only his

(08:36):
Japanese troops, but using a lot of slave labor. The
Japanese really they conscripted Koreans and Okinawans. They were always
grabbing slave labor wherever they could. They would just look.
It was a very barbaric army, the Imperial Japanese army,
but using troops, slave labor, concrete, coconut logs, many many
other things. The Japanese spent an entire year bill bunkers

(09:01):
in trenches and pillboxes, and of course they put an
airstrip on there, creating a place of death that they
didn't think the Americans could take one. Japanese commander famously
said that it would take a million men to take Taroa. Well,
the second Marine Division didn't show up with a million men.

(09:22):
They showed up with themselves, the Navy submarines. And what
happened next is one of the worst and least known
days in World War two history. But this day we'll
have a sunny ending to it. So we'll finish this
up through a Medal of Honor citation, get back to
politics and Harris and the VP search and maybe some

(09:43):
calls and other things. Before we get to any of
those things, I have to share something with you right now.
Pain sucks. Did you know that. I know that's breaking news.
Pain sucks. It's awful. I have, at times in my
life gone through it. Something wrong. I had a stress
fracture and my foot the shoulder was messed up, and

(10:05):
I did the standard Kelly thing where I just kind
of ignored it. That's fine, I'm fine. Only I'm not fine.
I'm stapping at my wife, the kids. I'm not sleeping well.
I'm not working well because I'm not sleeping well. My
mind is it would stop fighting through it, stop toughing
it out and start doing something about it. And I
don't mean masking it. Your body is trying to fight

(10:29):
that inflammation. Whatever you have, your back, your neck, or
your muscles, your body's trying to fight it. Your body
needs help. Get some relief factor in your body. It's
to help your body needs it. Helps support your body's
natural response to inflammation. This is drug free. Keep those
drugs out of your body, all right. Take it for

(10:49):
three weeks. Every day watch that pain disappear. Call one
eight hundred the number four relief or go to relief
factor dot com. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday with
market crashes in World War three, so we figured, as
I'll do some history. I haven't even done Medal of
Honor yet because we're leading up to it. We're talking
about Tarawa and I'm not going to recap all that.
If you miss any of it, you'll download a podcast.
iHeart Spotify, iTunes. It's all free. Just go click it
on your little phone there and it'll download. That's what

(11:30):
they tell me anyway, right, back to what we're talking about,
Tarawa second Marine Division. We close it on Tarawa. But
this is going to be an amphibious operation from c
to land. I know that's pretty obvious, but you need
to understand something. It'll be really, really important to understand

(11:52):
the timeline of this. This is in nineteen forty three.
D Day was when four When I say an amphibious operation,
people instinctively picture D Day the saving Private Ryan or
a book you read of the boat's cruising right up,

(12:13):
and they this is one of the first amphibious operations
we've gone on, and something goes terribly wrong. One our
guys were stuck as we approached the shore. I got
our guys ended up getting stuck in a bay. Why

(12:34):
does that matter? Well, when you're approaching a shore and
the enemy is trying to kill you before you get there,
It's bad enough if you have rifle fire coming at
you from one direction, But what if it was coming
at you from the front, from the left and from
the right, with interlocking fields of fire. Because they knew

(12:55):
exactly where you'd be coming in, and they have had
a year to prepare for you coming in. The Marines
begin to land on the beaches of Normandy after a
long naval bombardment. But the problem was, again we're learning
how to do this. We didn't know how long the

(13:17):
bombardment should be. Would you know if you'd never done
this before, I wouldn't know. It's easy to look back.
But how long do you have to take those gigantic
naval guns and bomb the crap out of a place
before it's sufficiently pacified? An hour a day, a week?

(13:38):
Who knows? Nobody knew. And when you have marines pushing
towards the shore, when do you stop the naval bombardment?
Do you stop it when their feet are hitting the beach?
I don't know. If you've ever been in close proximity
to artillery fire, I have had the distinct displeasure. Let

(14:00):
me tell you something. You don't want to be landing
on the beaches with naval gunfire, also landing anywhere in
the vicinity, or you are going to have a very
bad day. So you have to stop before they got okay,
you see what I mean. They end up stopping the
naval gunfire when it turned out to be too early
and we were using the wrong shells. We didn't know

(14:21):
yet that you would need penetration shells, armor, armor piercing shells. Chris,
why don't you grow up. We didn't know we would
need that, so we bombard the place. They stop it
too early. The Marines, the ones who are lucky enough
to get to the beach, start dying immediately, and they
have a sea wall. The Japanese have built a sea

(14:43):
wall for their own purposes, a seawall made of coconut logs.
It's in the water, I need to point out. It's
sticking out of the water, but it's in the water.
There is no over other cover anywhere at all. The
Marines who begin to land in the first waves are

(15:03):
dying so fast they're stacked up on the beaches. The
ones who are not dead are almost all cowering in
the water behind the coconut logs because there's nowhere else
to go. If you stick your head up at all,
and many of them did, it gets taken off immediately

(15:24):
because again you're being shot at by heavy machine guns
from three different sides. And I need to stress this.
This is one of the things about even Dday. This
will apply to but we'll make it about terrible. One
of the things people don't fully grasp when you look
at the total number of deaths, the total number of casualties,

(15:46):
and so many different battles, especially in the Pacific, they're
not eye popping like a like a Nazi versus a
Red Army battle where you'd have two hundred thousand dead,
or they're nothing like that. It's a thousand guys, it's
three thousand guys. But for the frontline units who landed first,
it's oftentimes everyone. There were boats twenty five man boats

(16:15):
that landed and three men walked away. There were boats
drifting out at sea for a long period of time
after this because they took so much machine gun fire.
On the way to the shore, everyone died, including the

(16:36):
Navy guy driving the boat, and so the boat just
kind of died and drifted off to sea full of
dead marines, full of dead sailors. The people who landed
in the teeth of Taroa died in mass, in droves.

(16:57):
They were just dying and dying and dying. And those guys,
they honestly might have had it better than the next
wave that came. Because the next wave that came ran
into a problem. They had different boats than the first wave,

(17:18):
and the marines and the navy. They didn't pay enough
attention to the tides. There was a different tide that day,
a special tide that day, and the water that was
supposed to be five feet deep in some places was
three feet deep. And a bunch of these boats ended
up getting caught on the reef seven hundred yards from

(17:42):
shore at the mouth of the bay, and marines who
were dying in the boats have no choice but to
go over the side of the boat and water, no rocks,
no logs, no bunkers in water, and way through seven
hundred yards of machine gun fire before they got to

(18:07):
the Coconut log seawall where other marines were hiding at
the time, and they died in droves. And with all that,
we're gonna do the Medal of honor citation, and then
we'll say the good news, and then we'll get back
to some political stuff. Sound good. Now I have some
good news for you. The good news is, no matter

(18:31):
where you live, no matter who you are, you have
access to something that can save your life from a
very bad person who wants to hurt you. The burn
a pistol launcher. It's non lethal, right, so even your
I don't like guns, fine, Fine, Fine. I believe in
carrying lethal and non lethal. But maybe you don't like guns,
or maybe your daughter doesn't or something. Fine shoots pepper

(18:51):
balls or tear gas balls. It not only will stop
a bad man for up to forty minutes, It's legal
in all fifty states. No permit needed, no background check needed.
All you have to do is go to b y RNA,
burna dot com slash Jesse and get one for yourself.

(19:11):
Get a holster, get away to carry it. Don't just
buy it, please buy it and carry it. There are
bad people all around us. Now carry it on you
at all times and it might just save your life
one day. Burna dot com slash Jesse gets you ten
percent off. All right, we'll finish this up. Hang on,

(19:33):
is he smarter than everyone who knows?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Does he think so?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
The Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember
you can email the show love hey, death threats, whatever
you want. Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Finishing up
our medal of honor citation here for Taroa. It is
time to do it. I just talked about the the
Marines who were stuck on the sea wall at Taroa.
The Marines who are waiting in from the surf Marines

(20:06):
and sailors are dying. They're dying in droves. It's one
of those horrible days in a day where everyone would
have died had it not been for men like William
James Bordolon And without further ado, here it is.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal of
Honor Monday.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
For valorous and gallant conduct above and beyond the call
of duty. As a member of an assault engineer platoon
of the first Battalion, eighteenth Marines, tactically attached to the
second Marine Division in action against the Japanese held Atoll
of Tarowa in the Gilbert Islands on the twentieth of
November nineteen forty three. Landing in the assault waves under

(20:56):
withering enemy fire which killed all but four of them
men and his tractor staff, Sergeant Bortolawn hurriedly made demolition
charges and personally put two pill boxes out of action
hit by enemy machine gun fire, just as a charge
exploded in his hand while assaulting a third position. He
gurageously remained in action and although out of demolition, provided

(21:21):
himself with a rifle and furnished fire coverage for a
group of men scaling the seawall. Disregarding his own serious condition,
he unhesitatingly went to the aid of one of his
demolition men, wounded and calling for help in the water,
rescuing this man and another who'd been hit by enemy
fire while attempting to make the rescue. Still refusing first

(21:45):
aid for himself, he again made up demolition charges and
single handedly assaulted a fourth Japanese machine gun position, but
was instantly killed when caught in a final burst of
fire from the enemy staff. Sergeant Bordelan's great personal valor
during a critical phase of securing the limited beachhead was

(22:05):
a contributing factor in the ultimate occupation of the island,
and his heroic determination throughout the three days of violent
battle reflects the highest credit upon the US Naval Service,
and he gallantly gave his life for this country, and
a bunch of marines and sailors did. They died in

(22:26):
the water, they died on the beaches, They drowned after
being wounded. They died on a horrible spit of island
that none of us will ever see. And they died
brave men, and all of them deserved taps. You know,

(23:38):
Tara was tremendously controversial at the time. At the time,
it was met with a lot of public uproar over
the slaughter. Obviously, details got back to the public back
then the same way they would get back now. And
as you can imagine, a lot of parents wanted to

(23:58):
know why they're eighteen year old old son died wading
into shore because the boat couldn't get over the coral reef.
You know, it's one thing to die in combat. To
die like that for the reasons men died over there
doesn't make any sense. It certainly doesn't make any sense
at the time. It creates anger, outrage. Nimmits it was
kind of his baby. Nimmits would get letters, he would

(24:20):
open them, he talked about it. He would get letters
from parents, you killed my son. You're the one responsible
for killing my son. And it was Look, we won
that battle. It was three days of horrific fighting, but
we ended up winning. But I I wanted to tell
you that because I thought maybe it would help in
case we are going into some really really rocky, crazy times,

(24:42):
maybe we are going into a market that's going to
keep dropping. I hope not. I think not, But who knows.
Maybe we are going into World War three. It certainly
looks like the Iran Israel thing that is looking increasingly inevitable.
Maybe maybe we're maybe we're going into a Dome presidency.
I don't know. Maybe maybe we we are heading into
some really, really rocky times. But I just want to

(25:04):
say this about Taroa. It's not famous. Most people don't
know about it. Most people don't know anything about it.
It's not famous like D Day is famous. But let's
talk about D Day. D Day was very, very successful
for a long list of reasons. I'm not going to
oversimplify it at all, but one of the main reasons

(25:29):
we were equipped to pull off an operation like D Day,
the landing at Normandy was because of Taroa. You know,
one of the main reasons you have Navy seals today.
Did you know it was Taroa. After that, we were
so mortified by the fact that our boats were getting

(25:50):
stuck on the reef. We didn't know about the tide.
We didn't know about this, we didn't know about that.
After that, they decided we really need some advanced reconnaissance teams,
some UDT. They were known as underwater demolition teams. We
needed some very brave, very very capable men who could

(26:11):
go in before the battle and mark where the fortifications are,
blow things up if necessary, figure out the depth here,
the depth there, where's there a machine gun nest. That
was the genesis of the US Navy Seals Taroa D
Day Taroa. In fact, every amphibious landing from that point

(26:35):
forward in the war it was in large part influenced
by Taroa and the lessons we learned there hard times,
even horrible times, even deadly times, times that cost us lives,
they can be used to learn valuable, valuable lessons about

(26:59):
the future, about what's really important. Look, we weren't sinking
big money into amphibious vehicles before then, and finally we
figured out, wow, we really need things that can cruise
through the surf and actually land on the beaches. A
lot of the best lessons, most of the best lessons
in life, are learned through hardship. And I'm not trying

(27:21):
to in any way minimize or be dismissive of the
fact that you woke up today and your four oh
one k took a beating and might take another one tomorrow.
I know I get it, but just know that we'll
get through it, hopefully most of us will anyway, and
out the back end we'll learn some lessons. All right,
all right, let's do some emails before we get back

(27:44):
to all the politics and things like that. Dear Jesse, Oh,
this lady's mad at Trump. Dear Jesse, I wish Trump
had not started calling Kemp names. But for okay, so
let me update everyone who might not know. I'm not
going to read the whole Poe, but Trump took to
social media and gave it to Brian Kemp, the governor

(28:08):
of Georgia. He gave it to him both barrels and
brought up his wife in the in the post. It
was a long post. I'm not going to read the
whole thing. It just that's in case you're not on
the uptake. That's what Trump was blasting away. He was
blasting by at Kemp on social media. She said, I
think Kemp should have bowed to Trump. Kemp should have
come out quickly and expressed his support. Jesse. Will Republicans

(28:32):
ever grow unity? I can't use that word like the
Democrats do. Will they ever do unity? Or? In her
name is Diane. Okay, so let's discuss this Trump Kemp
thing unity, what we can expect going forward. I understand
you're frustrated. Let's let's let's discuss a couple of things

(28:52):
before we do that. I touched on this earlier. I
want to point this out. You know, chalk is a
lot more than mal vitality stacks and female vitality stacks.
I only say that because I personally take a male
vitality stack. I love it. It's just how I feel,
how my mind feels, my energy level and in my mood,

(29:15):
and how my mind feels clear. That's the best parts
of it for me. It's been Honestly, it has been
life changing. It really has been. But maybe that's not
for you. Maybe you can't even afford one of those things.
I get all that. What if you just started out
your day with choc lit powder pack for the vitamins, minerals,
everything you need. I start every day with it. Wake up,

(29:36):
first thing, honestly, first thing before I brush my teeth,
aft the time, Pour it in glass of water or milk,
mix it up, chug it boom, take off like a
rocket ship that day. And you know that chalk shares
and promotes our values. These are anti communists. That's why
they found the show. These are our people. Go to

(29:57):
chalk dot com see ho q dot com. Promo code
Jesse gets you a huge discount on subscriptions. All right,
all right, we'll talk about this Trump Kemp thing next.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. If you missed eddy
part of our show, download whatever you want Iheartspotify iTunes.

(30:19):
We did some economy talk, patriotism talk, we did some
history Medal of Honor Monday. Now let's dig into this
whole Trump Kemp thing. Got a bunch of emails about this.
People are frustrated. Frush. Look, I got a bunch of
emails on it. Oracle, You've always talked about how the system,
the first few systems disruptors are not tough enough or

(30:40):
smart enough. Trump is proving that. Now he's mad about
the Trump thing going up against an all powerful system. Instead,
he's going back to unforced errors. I've seen this movie before. Okay,
so first I understand what you're saying about the Trump
the social media post blasting George's governor. First we need

(31:02):
to talk about the background of this a little bit.
All right, Maybe you'll love this or not, but this
is just it is what it is. Donald Trump believes
to his core that the twenty twenty presidential election was
stolen from him. He believes there was cheating, He believes
that Brian Kemp of Georgia allowed, facilitated, whatever way you

(31:27):
want to put it. He believes Brian Kemp of Georgia
is at least partially responsible for him no longer being
in the White House. I am not Just stop for
a second, don't start screaming at me. I'm not justifying
blasting away three months before the election at him on
social media. I'm not. I'm trying to explain how he thinks. Also,

(31:52):
there's this, As I have said before, Donald Trump is
a junkyard dog. What does that mean? He attacks everyone.
Everyone who who I don't even want to say, lashes
out at him because it doesn't always have to be that.

(32:12):
Anyone who makes him angry for any reason, Trump will
blast you. He will blast you without hesitation, and he's
not going to change. This is a seventy seven year
old billionaire former president of the United States of America.
Those guys don't change their ways for anyone, for any reason.

(32:34):
He is a junkyard dog. Now you love the junkyard
dog when he eats the robber who broke in to
kill your family. You hate the junkyard dog when he
eats the male man and you go to prison or
get sued. But nevertheless, that's what he is. This is
how Trump does politics. It's not going to change ideally,

(33:00):
because Georgia is a swing state Trump needs to win.
Remember the electorally, remember this. Remember we need to in November.
We need to sweep the Sunbelt. We need to switch
the arizonas the Georgias. We need to own those, and
then we need to if we own those. If we

(33:23):
own those, we need to pick off one of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
or Wisconsin. That is the presidential election. That's what you
need to pay attention to sweep the sun Belt. Grab
one of those states. Sweep the sun Belt, grab one
of those states. Is it strategically sound for any reason

(33:50):
to blast the governor and his wife, which he kind
of did in one of the critical sun Belt states
three months before the election, And remember we're one month
before people start voting. No, it's not true. I don't
know what you want me to say. It's domb it's
a dumb thing to do. But he's not going to change.
And this is the way it is. And it's him
or Dome. Look, it's him or this.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
You're now no longer are you necessarily keeping those private
files in some file cabinet that's locked in the basement
of the house. It's on your laptop, and it's then
therefore up here in this cloud that exists above us. Right,
it's no longer in a physical place.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
And we can't afford that. Maybe that helps, maybe it didn't.
Look do you want to feel better, you want to
feel better. I'll make you feel better about something my
wife told me. I have small hands. Oh, Chris, I've
never been more devastated. I forgot to tell you I
have big hands. Everyone who's watching on the simulcast right
now can see. You can watch me do the radio

(34:55):
show on the first TV you can read. They simulcast it.
I'm doing it live right in front of you, right here.
It's not like I'm hiding in a dungeon somewhere. Do
you see these hands. Look the size of these hands.
I can pretty much what, Chris, I can pretty much
palm a basketball with these hands. Yes, I can, Chris, Yes,
I can't. It depends on the basketball. They've got to
be a good grip. But no, not a little nerf ball. No, No,

(35:17):
like a full sized basketball. Whatever. Chris. But she just
we were at lunch the other day that she just
looks you. She says, you know, your hands aren't that big.
I've never been told that in my entire life. I've
always been told my hands are huge. So maybe you're
feeling down about the state of the race and all that.
At least your wife didn't drop that little bomb on
you small hands. Jesse. Oh this is not nice, Jesse.

(35:41):
Look into Boseley products to regrow your hair. They're legit.
I don't know what Boseley products are, but I'll have
it's Bosley. It's Bosly. Chris, how do you know whatever?
What would you know about it? You have hair, You
don't know anything about this stuff. Anyway, Look, I'll have
you know. I don't need your Bosley or Bosley or

(36:02):
whatever this person's name is. I don't need to meet
them at all. Why I know, it's been a lot
of bad news today and we've all lost our retirement account.
And Dome was getting ready to pick that nutball from
Minneapolis for Minnesota to be her VP. And I know
all that's bad in World War three and stuff, but
get this. So I got out of the shower to

(36:23):
day and I was shaving my necks. I couldn't show
up with a neck beard on a Monday. We got
out of the shower to day and I was shaving
my neck. You know how, I have this little widow's
peak up here because I'm balding my hairlines retreating. We
got a couple of little hairs sprouting out in there.
What Chris, why are you rolling your eyes? We're getting
the band back together. I'm telling you. The body is what.

(36:43):
Don't shake your head. My body is. Have you ever
seen any of the Wolverine movies or read the comic books?
What Chris, listen, My body regenerates and very similar to
what wolverines does. I was bald for a short period
of time. I woke up today and look there were
two hairs. It was two. I counted them. There were two.

(37:03):
I didn't cut them off. I didn't shave them off.
Tomorrow might be three, might be four the next day.
I don't know where we're going to go from here.
All I know is these luscious locks are coming back right,
and I also know that these people are freaking demons.
Week of pregnancy.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
Should abortion access be cut off, we need to restore
the protections of roe versus weight, which we're not trying
to do something new. Well, that was benibulous because it
was about viability, which could be anywhere between twenty to
twenty four weeks. But so no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Let's go it.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Let me be very the Women's Health Protection Act that
let me be let me be very clear. From day one,
the President has been clear, I have been clear. We
need to put back the protections that are.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
In ROE v way.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
They can't answer the question because Kamala Harris and every
Democrat believes you should execute a baby all the way
up to birth and after birth in some cases. And
that's why Preborn is there fighting back against this with
the power of ultrasounds, the power of ultrasound, finding these
young women who are about to kill their babies and

(38:15):
giving them an ultrasound free. It costs Preborn twenty eight
dollars to give that woman an ultrasound. When she hears
the heartbeat, she chooses life. Almost every time, your twenty
eight dollars buys a life. People will walk the planet
because of you. Preborn dot com slash jesse is where
you give sponsor by preborn. We still have an hour

(38:40):
hang on
