Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a fan fantastic Monday, and we have all kinds of
things this hour. I'll touch just a couple more quick
things on all the FBI Epstein stuff, because you have
a bunch of emails already in about that. We'll touch

(00:31):
on that this hour. We'll get to the disgusting communist
response to that terrible flood in Texas. We'll get the
many things this hour, emails, other stuff. But you know
what time it is. It is the start of the
second hour on a Monday, and that always means the
same thing. It's Metal of Honor Monday time, where we

(00:54):
take a Medal of Honor citation and we just read it.
That's it. We'll discuss context it and things like that sometimes.
But it is so important to talk about heroes, to
remember the men, to remember the deeds. And when I
say it's important, I mean it's really really important for
it not just the next generation, all the citizens of

(01:16):
the nation. You hold your heroes up. It gives people
something to look to, something to aspire to. And we
do take email suggestions. There's a long, long backlog, as
you can imagine. But you can email your love, your hatre,
your death threats, and your medal of honor suggestions if
you have ones that you have a relation to or

(01:37):
ones you just like this guy said or this lady said.
In this one, Jesse, I am proposing Chaplain Vincent R. Capadano,
who served in the Marines in Vietnam and was killed
in fact on September fourth. He was a Catholic priest
and there's a mass in Washington, d c. At the

(01:57):
Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, proposing for sainthood. He's now
a servant of God. He was from Staten Island, New York,
and he's buried there. Thank you. I love the show,
especially the history lessons. You are on nine to twelve,
and sometimes I fall asleep, So thank Heavens for the
podcast with you and Chris all the best. So without

(02:18):
further ado, let's find out what this man did in Vietnam, right, Hey,
honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal of
Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity the risk of

(02:40):
his life, above and beyond the call of duty. As
chaplain of the third Battalion in connection with operations against
enemy forces. In response to reports that the second patoon
of M Company was in danger of being overrun by
a massed enemy assaulting force, Lieutenant Cappadano left the relative
safety of the company command post and ran through an

(03:04):
open area raked with fire directly to the beleaguered platoon.
Disregarding the intense enemy small arms, automatic weapons and mortar fire,
he moved about the battlefield, administering last rights to the
dying and giving medical aid to the wounded. When an
exploding mortar round inflicted painful multiple wounds to his arms

(03:27):
and legs and severed a portion of his right hand,
he steadfastly refused all medical aid. Instead, he directed the
cormen to help their wounded comrades, and with calm vigor,
continued to move about the battlefield as he provided encouragement
by voice and example to the valiant marines. Upon encountering

(03:49):
a wounded Corman in the line in the direct line
of fire of an enemy machine gunner positioned approximately fifteen
yards away, Lieutenant Cappadano rushed in a daring attempt to
aid and assist mortally wounded Corman At that instant, only
inches from his goal, he was struck down by a

(04:10):
burst of machine gun fire. By his heroic conduct on
the battlefield and his inspiring example, Lieutenant Cappadano upheld the
finest traditions of the US Naval Service, and he gallantly
gave his life in the cause of freedom. And as
we do when they have given their lives, we play

(04:31):
taps in their honor. Rest in peace. Brother. You know,

(05:31):
the history of Chaplains doing incredibly brave things on the
battlefield is long, and it is inspiring. They have played
a critical role for a very very long time, underappreciated
because we appreciate the guys with the machine guns in
their hands and things like that, but the guy with

(05:53):
the Bible in his hands has done a lot of
good on the American battlefields, and they always are deserving
of utmost respect. All right, all right, now I'm gonna
touch on just a couple more things because I want
to answer a couple of emails here about this Epstein stuff,
and then we're moving on. We have to do emails.
We have to talk about Texas floods. We have to

(06:16):
talk about this guy getting killed while shooting at the
border patrol. There's a lot to get to tonight on
the show, so I'll just do a couple more things. Jesse.
The Epstein stuff reeks to high heaven. Feels like those
implicated were deemed too big to fail. Another nail in
the coffin for the FBI. Jesse, I'm really your biggest fan,

(06:38):
But how the heck are you going to explain the
FBI's newest claim about x Epstein having no clients and
never bat blackmailing anyone. I think you should reconsider your
loyalty to Dan. Sorry for the tough words, but in Jesse,
we trust. Okay, I got all that, and by the way,
I will not be reconsidering my loyalty to Dan, who
is a good man and I and I trust them

(07:02):
what I went over all that stuff in the first
hour about Epstein. I hope that you didn't take that
in any way as a defense of the FBI or
as a defense of Pam BONDI or I hope you
didn't take it in that way because it was not
meant to be that. I stand firm that the FBI

(07:24):
should be defunded and eliminated completely in order for the
United States of America to continue. I believe that, in
the bottom of my heart, the FBI and the evil
things they've done must be removed from the United States
of America or they will tear this country apart. That
was not a defense of the FBI. I was laying

(07:45):
out and explaining that they say there's no client list.
They said there's no evidence of blackmail. And I bet
that's true, because I bet they destroyed it all. If
theb I didn't, CIA did. And let's touch on this
really quickly here. I keep bringing up the FBI because

(08:08):
the FBI, as you know, is an incredibly evil, secret
state police agency. But the mountain of evidence that is
out there about Jeffrey Epstein actually does not point to
him being a part of the FBI or an asset
of the FBI. It points to him being part of

(08:31):
the CIA. There is a long history dating back to
the eighties of this guy, I mean practical, He practically
walked around with a billboard saying Central Intelligence Agency and me,
we get along well. And that's a good point, Chris.

(08:52):
Chris said, does that matter. It doesn't matter. They're all government,
criminal organizations. It doesn't matter. I was not defending Bondie
as a whole you know, I was defending you know which,
I was defending things where she says, I don't have
a list. Now, I understand you're angry. And like I
said before, if they're going to constantly run to the

(09:14):
news and say we're going to deliver the goods, we've
got binders, we're going to hand it to you, We're
going to hand it to you, and then they don't
deliver any goods, that's going to make people outraged. And
I understand that, and it's totally justified. Your anger at
them for promising the world and then not delivering the
world is totally justified. I'm not trying to pour cool

(09:35):
water over that at all. What I was simply saying
is I think the criminals got rid of evidence, and
I think we simplify things that we that we want,
we want there to be. Surely it's just a folder, right,
Surely you have a folder and it has a list
of all the names of all the powerful people and
the crimes they committed, and it's all anetized and it's

(09:57):
all in order. And that that's not I it works.
That's not how crimes work. That's not how criminals work.
And like I said, it's not an accident that Pam
Bondie's nomination was never in doubt cash Buttel's nomination was
never in doubt. And yet Democrats dragged their confirmation out

(10:20):
for as long as possible. Why bother doing that when
they're going to get confirmed anyway. Because the criminals inside
the government were busy, That's why. And I think Bondie
and the rest of them over promised and now they're
taking the public outcry because they're under delivery. Here. That's
what I have to say about that. Now, let's talk

(10:43):
briefly about this flood and more specifically the communist's response
to the flood. Before we get to that, I want
to talk to you about pain. I've seen so many
people in my life live with pain. Pain I myself
have gone through it several times before. When your knee

(11:04):
always hurts, it just drains your life away. When your
back is hurting you all the time, your neck, your foot,
your it sucks, and then you go seeking out all
kinds of different solutions to mask it that are terrible
for you. Maybe try something one hundred percent drug free

(11:25):
that can eliminate it completely, not mask it for three
or four hours eliminate it completely. Maybe try Relief Factor.
I'm not asking you to commit to a lifetime of
Relief Factor. I'm asking for nineteen dollars and ninety five cents.
That buys you three weeks of it. Take it every
day for three weeks. If that pain is still the same,
don't ever order it again. You're out. Nineteen ninety five.

(11:48):
Relief Factor might just change your life one eight hundred
the number four relief or relieffactor dot com. We'll be
back the Jesse Kelly Show on it and online at
Jesse Kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a wonderful, wonderful Monday. We've had a rambunctious show already.

(12:11):
Remember you can email the show. You love, your hege,
your death threats, email all those into Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com. Now let's dig into something terrible and
I'm going to talk about the Texas floods for just
a moment. And I'm not going to dwell a lot
on the actual flood aspect of it, except to ask

(12:33):
you for your prayers. I've seen all the footage you've seen,
and because I am in Texas, I have access to
some of the people who are actually there. It's actually
worse than the video show. The devastation is so terrible.
Of course, you know, I'm talking about the Texas flood
that has killed so many people so far. And you know,

(12:56):
I don't do mass shooting, natural disaster radio. I'm not
going to give you the I have death updates and
stuff like that. I'm not a journalist. I don't do
your breaking news. Those people need prayer. Families are devastated,
ripped up, people are gone. Pray for the first responders
that are there. It is an awful situation. Just picture

(13:18):
the ground coming out from underneath your house, the devastation
that would cause. That's what they're going through. There was
so many hero there were so many heroes, so much
tragedy it was. It's awful. It's absolutely awful. When they
need your prayer. Okay, God listens, make sure you pray
for those people. That's one. Two. There have been a

(13:42):
lot there's been a lot of outrage towards the communists
for how the communists in this country reacted and in
fact lied about what happened and why it happened. Before
I even get to what they said, I want to
play Joe Kanca on Fox News who gave the actual

(14:04):
information about the Weather Service and everything else. So this
is the truth. This is not my opinion. These are
black and white facts. You can go verify them.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
There were flood warnings twelve hours before this happened. There
were flash flood warnings three hours before it happened. We
keep seeing on other networks talking about how there wasn't
the proper staffing at the National Weather Service in that area.
They actually had twice as many staffers on as they
normally would. So again, if you're going to try to find.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
The staffing was beefed up, the warnings went out, They
did it right. So why did you tune into ABC
and see George Stephanopolis say this, Oh.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, we're also learning that there were significant staffing shortfalls
the National Weather Services offices in the region.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Why are you tuning into CNN and you're hearing things
like this?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
How much do you think the changing climate is part
of what we are seeing go on here, not just
what we're seeing the pictures that were showing on the screen,
but even the flood that you talked about in San
Antonio in June.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
No, I think climate change is obviously a part of it.
These floods are happening more often in more parts of
the country, and this.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Just talking about the federal government and even the local
government to Texas, National Weather Service offices involved in forecasting
and warning about flooding on the Guadalupe River are missing
some key staff members. A director of the NWS union
told CNN that the Austin, San Antonio office is missing

(15:37):
a warning coordination meteorologist due to the Trump administration's buyouts.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Why do they do this? It's not only they're not
only outright lies, but we're digging little girls out of
flood waters right now. How could you be so despicable?
How why would you do that? How could you do that? Okay,

(16:06):
so first understand that there is no human tragedy to
an anti human. We have explained this before, and I
know it is so hard. It is really really hard
to accept that when you look across the room at

(16:26):
a communist and you see that he has two arms
and two legs and two eyes and a nose, and
he looks like you, and he walks like you, and
he talks like you like you. So it's human nature
to think that that human being shares your values. But
when you are tuning into the news and you're seeing
floods and children dying and families ripped apart, it stirs

(16:49):
your heart, doesn't it. Your heart breaks, Your heart breaks
for it. My heart breaks for it, the unimaginable anguish.
He doesn't feel that at all. He doesn't feel that
at all, because human life, any human human life, is
not sacred and wonderful and beautiful. All human beings, they're

(17:13):
just part of the herd. Either you're helping the revolution
or you're hurting the revolution. There's no individual death, there's
no mass death. That is a tragedy to somebody who
doesn't care about human life. I've used the example before,
and it's so appropriate. How can these people do this?

(17:33):
How could you stand on dead bodies and lie in
order to push a political agenda? Right away, well, let
me ask you. Have you ever stepped on ants, swatted
a fly in your life? Probably several, I would guess,
Did it stir you? Did you get choked up? All
the ants? Ah? No, that's ridiculous. Those lives, the ant lives,

(17:58):
the fly lives, they didn't hold any meaning to you.
So even the loss of a thousand of them, even
at your hand, wouldn't stir you because the life itself
held no meaning, held no value. That's how communists view
human beings. All human beings, they're all just a cog

(18:21):
in the wheel. Either you're for the revolution or not.
But when a bunch of little Christian girls die in
Texas for a communist, that's just an opportunity. It's an opportunity.
That's how they look at it. We'll touch on the
we'll touch on that a little bit more in a moment,
and then I'll tell you how I stuck my foot
in my mouth yesterday, ob got upset. Before we get

(18:43):
to that, I want to talk to you about taking care,
good care of the retirement you've built up. You worked
very hard for your money, socking money away, four oh
one k, things like that, and you're watching the national
debt pile up, up, up, up up, with no end
in sight, not under Republicans, not under democrats. You know

(19:05):
what I'm saying is true, And you know how this ends.
Everyone knows how this ends, really bad. What are you
going to do to protect what you've saved for? Get
some gold or silver in your retirement. Let gold code
do this for you. They've been doing it for ages.
You can trust them. They have an A plus rating

(19:28):
from the Better Business Bureau for a reason, over six
thousand five star reviews. For a reason. They make it easy.
I have done it myself eight five five eight one
seven gold or Jesse likes gold dot Com. We'll be
back the Jesse Kelly Show. It's still real to me, Dammit,

(19:50):
the ternstacks. It is the Jesse Kelly Show before we
get to emails and before we get to ov getting
mad at me last night. And I'm still not totally
sure that I did something wrong, but I think maybe
I did. No, I don't agree with her already, Chris,
you haven't even heard the story yet. Let me finish
up on this. Communists taking advantage of human tragedy is

(20:17):
nothing new, but it used to be in this country.
Democrats would hold back from that. There's always been some
of that in politics, there always will be, but they
used to hold back from that. That was until the
election of Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Obama was not a Democrat,

(20:38):
is not a Democrat. He is a born and bred communist,
an America hating animal who did whatever he could do
to rip this country apart, and he is everything I
just talked about about, how everything a mass shooting didn't
matter what it was. Obama would never consider not using

(21:01):
it for political reasons, because when you don't value human life,
there's no such thing as human tragedy. It was eight
years of this, and this is what changed Democrats into
what they are today. Is not about politics.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
This is about these families and families all across.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
The country who we're saying, let's make it a little
harder for our kids to get gunned down.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
The fact that that twenty six year olds were gunned
down in the most violent fashion possible and this town
couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me. And
so the question then becomes, what can we do about it?
The only thing that's going to change is public opinion.

(22:00):
If public opinion does not demand change in Congress, it
will not change.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Each time we see one of these mass shootings.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. Eight years of
that completely change the Democrat Party. Now they all do it.
They can't help themselves. It unleash the communist anti humanism
across the country. You see this pediatrician in Houston now fired.

(22:29):
Christina b props. You just got fired from her pediatric clinic.
But this is nice little heads up that you really
really really need to be screening your doctors today. Don't
think because there's a diploma on the wall and a
white lab coat that that's not an animal sitting in
front of you. What she said as children were dying

(22:52):
is quote, may all visitors, children, non bag of voters,
and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County voted to
gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what
they voted for. There's no such thing as human tragedy
to somebody who hates human beings. Now onto what happened

(23:17):
last night. I go out for pizza with aub and
my mom and it's this great little local family pizza parlor, families, kids,
all these things, and I walk we we have to

(23:37):
sit at one of the high tops in the bar
area because everything else is busy. It's packed. So right
when we get there, there's a young lady and I
tell her, Hey, we want a couple large pizzas, three waters,
that kind of thing. No, one large pizza, three waters.

(23:57):
I and she's looking at me like a in the headlights,
and then she tries to respond to me, and it's
very clear that she does not. She does not obla
the way I do. That's the wrong one. She does
not oblah the way I do. She does not she
does not speak English very well. Okay, no big deal.

(24:20):
So my mother and ob are sitting there watching this
entire exchange. My mom, who's the most tenderhearted soul in
the world, her heart starts to break for this girl,
and she says that poor thing, it must be so

(24:40):
hard being here. And I am meaning in America, not
wherever she's from. So on and so forth. And I'm
still not sure I said anything wrong, Okay, but I
said I guess pretty loudly why it's better than wherever

(25:02):
she's from. Ib got so upset. What Chris? What? What?
Thank you? Chris says, I'm probably right. Of course, I'm right.
She wouldn't be here if it wasn't better here than
wherever she I understand that you got to learn to
speak of the English. I understand that. I understand that

(25:24):
it's a struggle. And then I hit her with a Gracias,
and she hit me with a Dana da and Bob
got super mad about that too, and then Mom asks,
so where are you from? Because mom wants to adopt
this girl. And the girl says I'm from Mexico. And
I turned and I said see, and then Mom got mad,

(25:45):
and then ib got mad again. Everyone got mad at me.
I don't know why you're getting mad at me. Maybe
I could have whispered it, I guess, but it just
came out. It was an honest moment.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
No way.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Everyone's always mad at me about everything. I ain't doing
anything wrong, and it would Jesse. When cooking a lot
of bacon, do it on your yuppy smoker, I have
one too. I don't have a yuppy smoker. I have
a wood pellet smoker. Okay, it smokes the same wood
that you're a stupid smoker smokes. I just don't have
to mess with mine and stuff. Yes it does, Chris.

(26:20):
And by the way, I'm not an old sailor where
I have to judge the wind and tweak this and
open up this. Fabul One of my buddy has one
of those fancy green egg things, and I know they're
really nice and they're way too expensive because you'll never
buy one. But I know they're very very nice and whatnot.
But we went over to his house one night and
he was making pizzas on there, and then he was

(26:40):
doing all kinds of sausages and things like that on there.
He was constantly going over to think, well, hold on,
I have to open up the airway and I have
to move this and I have that. Again. I am
not Magellan. I don't know how to play the winds
and things like that. I just want I just want
to make something. What Chris, what, No, I don't want

(27:02):
an oven. I want to I want to smoke things.
I like smoking things. But anyway that came out, I'd
like to smoke meats and things like that. And I
like to smoke my world famous Kso I enjoy all
these things. Don't roll your eyes, Chris, don't roll your
eyes at that. But I will tell you that you
want to hear something totally crushing. So I'm a bacon freak,

(27:26):
like everybody except for Chris's people, I'm a bacon freak.
I like bacon. My sons like bacon. In my house,
I'll be making bacon in the frying pan, and practically
as fast as I pull it out of the frying pan,
those boys just descend on it like savages. They'll be
burning their fingers and their mouths because they can't even

(27:48):
wait for it to cool off. They're just animals when
it comes to bacon. They don't like it smoked. I know, Chris,
I know is that I'm so disappointed to them. I'm
so disappointed in them. I mean, they're good, polite kids
with good hearts. But I feel like I failed in
some way. What Chris, But that's a good point, Chris.

(28:12):
I could only make it smoked, but then that would
involve not making it in a frying pan like in
an American So that's what I prefer to do. And
so I have something else, just really quickly, and then
we'll move on and we'll make fun of Hollywood and communists,
and we'll do some more emails and things like that.

(28:32):
Are we are we totally sure that smoked meat is
good for you? Now? Hear me out. It is smoke.
I mean, you die from inhaling it because it's got
so much bad stuff in it. And I'm a huge
fan of smoked meat. That's gotta be terrible for you, right,

(28:56):
That's gotta be poison. Chris and I all went on
that it's gotta be terrible for you. Oh well, let's
not dwell on those things. We're all gonna die anyway.
Who does some emails and we'll make fun of comedies next?
Hang on, what, Chris, we can make jokes. It's fine,
he got that right. The Jesse Kelly Show. It is

(29:16):
The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday. Member.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing iheard Spotify iTunes. Also, if you'd
like to email us Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
Man killed after shooting at a US Border Patrol facility

(29:36):
in South Texas. He's a twenty seven year old man.
I'm not gonna name him. He had an ar and
he had a vest. Kind of did the whole, uh,
the whole private citizen who doesn't have training but wants
to look like some kind of a swat team member,
Delta Force guy and showed up at a Border Patrol

(29:59):
facility ready to kill some people. Now he happened to
tangle with boor TAC. Those are the Border Patrol swat team,
I'll put it that way. They shoot all the time.
They are deadly with their weapons. Total studs I know
we have boordtach guys listen, love you guys anyway, total studs.

(30:22):
So this moron shows up and feels like he's going
to kill one of them, a bunch of them, and
he died. He died quite quickly actually, And I have
two points on this one. This is not going to
stop Democrats constantly using apocalyptic rhetoric about immigration, this kind

(30:48):
of rhetoric. When you spread this rhetoric to the mentally
ill base of America's Democrat Party, you will inevitably find
someone who is violent on the razor's edge, and they'll
go try to do an active violence.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Started calling for defunding ICE.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Do you think that's effective going into the midterms and
do support those calls? Well, I definitely think that we
need aggressive oversight as it relates to the overly aggressive
behavior that we've seen, you know, from ICE, from the
Department of Homeland Security. It's not what the American people actually,
in my view, voted for Donald Trump and Republicans promised

(31:28):
to go after violent felons, but instead they're going after
law abiding immigrant families and in fact, in some cases
deporting American citizens and children, some with cancer.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
They use that rhetoric because liberal and Peggy believes it.
Because there are a bunch of insane, broken, stupid communists
in this country who will hear those words and they
will take those words as marching or I've got to
go fight Hitler. I've got to go fight the Nazis.
They're going after kids with cancer. And this is why

(32:06):
I left. This violence in this country has only increased
in recent years, and I'm warning you right now it
will continue to do so. And law enforcement, firemen, regular
citizens understand that the desperation of the communists, combined with

(32:30):
the rhetoric of the communists, has created an environment where
you can't show up to a wildfire in Idaho without
being aware that there could be some mentally ill demon
out there ready to take lives. That is a horrible,
sad place to be is a country, but that is

(32:52):
where we are and it's not going to change. It's
not going to change because no matter what has happened,
no matter how many Commune and his demons have killed
people in this country, Democrats have not backed off of
their rhetoric even for a fraction of a second. We
had some Bernie Sanders supporter show up at a GOP softball,

(33:13):
softball game or baseball game, trying to murder a bunch
of GOP members of Congress. And we know now from
his social media post he was radicalized by the rhetoric
of people like Bernie Sanders. This is all well known,
this is all public information, and upon learning this information,
Democrats didn't back off at all. That has created an

(33:34):
environment in this country that is frightening. Now that's point
number one. Two. You morons. You morons really thought you
were going to show up and have a shootout with Bortac.
I know you're I know you're mentally ill, so you know,

(33:58):
I mean, you've got a lot to overcome there. That's
quite a hurdle. But man, that was not smart. That
was really, really, really not smart. Now let's do some emails.
Before we do that. I want to talk to you
about your dog, your cat. I now get emails every
single day of people thanking me for telling them about

(34:21):
rough greens. You've heard me read how many on the
air here. Rough greens is not something you just sprinkle
on your dog's food or male greens on your cat's food.
It's not something you just sprinkle on there and kind
of hope for the best. Well, I'm finally giving him
vitamins and minerals and omega oils, and I hope it's working.
That's not what you have to do. You will see

(34:44):
differences in your dog and your cat the exact same
way you see differences in you when you start getting
real nutrition. You ever had a period in your life
where you were eating really bad? I've had a million
of them, fast food, cheeseburger's, pizza, and then maybe you
clean it up for a little while. How much better
do you feel? How much better does your skin look? You?

(35:09):
Your dog, your cats the same way. They don't get
nutrition from their food. Sprinkle Roughgreens on their food eight
three three three three. My dog gets you a free
Jumpstart trial bag. Or if you don't like talking to
people on the phone like I don't, you can go

(35:35):
this is about my interview last Thursday with Mike Rowe.
Here's how the love affair for college began World War Two.
If a guy had a college degree, he was quickly
made an officer. After the war, each grunt said, in
the next war, my boy will be an instant officer.
That's a starting point. Look at that. You're you're not

(35:56):
necessarily wrong about that, that being part of the infatuation
with it. But I don't want to sit and crush
previous generations for a mentality that was true for a
very long time. That mentality being if my kid doesn't
go to college and get a degree, then he won't
be able to have a good career, a long lasting career.

(36:20):
His income level will be artificially capped. If my kid
has to have a blue collar life of some kind,
then he will he won't achieve the social status as
kids who go to college. And that meant to everyone
has to go to college. You got to go to college.
It's just one of those things that got passed down
from generation to generation to generation. And maybe you should

(36:43):
go to college. If you have a field you want
to go into and it requires a college degree, go
to college. I'm not here to rant and keep you
out of college. But this idea that everyone needs to
go to college, that you need to go to college
in order to make a good living, to have good
money and things like that, that is ridiculous and it's
not at all true anymore. No, I'm not telling you

(37:06):
to avoid college. Maybe it's for you, but especially for
young men and young women too. Remember there are trade
fields for young women, especially for young men. I know
you want to saw a job, a good career, good
money so you can buy a house, get a woman,
marry a dime, have some kids. You think that requires

(37:27):
a college degree. That does not require a college degree.
There's not only a lot of money in the trades now.
As these fields empty, people are retiring, that money gets
better from here on. You remember what Mike said on Thursday.
For every five retiring, two are replacing them. What's that

(37:48):
mean more money for you? Speaking of college, let's talk
about a professor in Hollywood next.
