Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Let's have some fun.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
On a Friday, a magnificent Friday. I am backing in
the chair. I missed you dearly and I'm thrilled.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
To be here on an ask doctor Jesse Friday. I
hope you survived today without me.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I was at the Megan Kelly Tours speaking thing last night.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'll talk about that in a little while, but for now,
you know what time it is. We have so many questions.
We're gonna talk about this White House remodel that they're
trying to make a thing of. Right off the bat,
I'll talk about that briefly, a color. What is it?
Are we living through one right now? These totalitarian regimes?

(01:05):
Are they better at making things? I'll talk briefly about
the Mafia story, the Mafia, NBA rigging things and billionaires?
Do we have too many? Is it unfair?

Speaker 3 (01:18):
All?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That's so much more coming up tonight on the world
famous Jesse Kelly Show. So let's begin here. Your questions
were amazing. It's awesome. But I know you've heard on
the television. I know you've seen it on social media.
People making a big deal about Donald Trump tearing down

(01:40):
part of the White House complex and building a ballroom.
I have this email, Jesse, I have many like this. Jesse.
Is the left upset at Trump for remodeling the the
White House without their input, so on and so forth. Okay,
so first of all, I guess I'll tell you a

(02:00):
little something about last night because it just makes sense
to tell you about it right now. Something kind of
cool after the event, you know, it was Megan Kelly,
was me. It was Don Junior speaking at the event.
After the event, Megan set out the word to us too,
and she said, hey, let's get together afterwards. Let's eat
some cheese and crackers, break some bread for an hour

(02:22):
to just talk talk about life. So it's just Megan,
her husband, Don, his woman, me and ib And that
was it. It was just us six and we get
together at this place and Don Junior starts actually talking
about this White House ballroom thing. He actually starts talking
about his father and Donald Trump, the President of the
United States of America. Now, maybe you're a Trump hater

(02:45):
or lover, I don't care, None of that matters, but
it was fascinating to listen to this, this aspect of
it something you may realize but may not. Trump. He
gets a bunch of his grandkids with Don Junior, and
they go on this big overseas flight. I forget which

(03:06):
one it was. He's done so many where he was
closing a trade deal and signing a big agreement and whatever.
But the grandkids came along. It was a grueling day,
grueling day. Many of these grandkids are young. They get
back from this thing after eight nine hours of travel,
and as you can imagine, they're kids, they're not involved
in politics. It's exhausting. They're done. They want to go home,

(03:28):
they want to go to sleep. Donald Trump, Grandpa Donald Trump,
says no, no, no, no, come on, come on, you
gotta come with me. I have something so cool I
want to show you. He brings them all to the
White House, brings them in the Oval Office, and he
starts to show them every little portrait or trinket or

(03:53):
thing like that that's in the Oval Office, discussing with
these very bored grandkids who are not into it, discussing
the intricacy of it, the history of it. Did you
know that Andrew Jackson did this? Did you know that
this is part of what the Reagan Deal did you
know this was cool? What he knows everything about every

(04:16):
part of it is so interesting, has such a reverence
for all of it, and he's so geeking out on it.
He doesn't care that the grand kids are cash and
they just want to go home and put their pajamas on. No, no, no, no, no,
you sit there. This is super cool. Trust me, you're
gonna think it's cool. Of course they don't. You know,
they're tired. But no, no, no, you have to hear.

(04:36):
Do you want to hear where this uh, this bust
came from? Donald Trump has a deep reverence for the
Office of the Presidency, for the White House itself, and
for the United States of America itself. Whatever problems you

(04:57):
may have from time to time with the man, or
i'm they have from time to time with the man,
he has a deep, deep reverence for this place. And
this is long before he got into politics. There's all
kinds of video. You can hear the way he talks
about America. For him, and for me and probably for you,
America is special. It is unique, and it is special,

(05:23):
and it should look special. It should be special. It
should be something where people look at it. Every aspect
of it and they should say WHOA right now, what's
a huge story across the country? National Guard, ice, FBI,
all these different federal groups going into different cities. Filthy
crime in cities. It's a big story. Do you want

(05:45):
to know part of why Donald Trump is doing this? Yes,
big part of it's about illegal immigration and drugs, things
like that. Donald Trump is mortified, embarrassed that all our cities,
which should be shining wonderful examples of America, that our

(06:05):
cities are disgusting. He thinks it's horrid. He's as an
American and you and I've talked about this before. Cities
are on the billboard of your country. You know, as
much as I love Bozeman, Montana, where I grew up,
you know what's not on the billboard for the United
States of America in Germany somewhere. It's not Bozeman. It's

(06:27):
New York City. He's mortified that our billboards are gross,
they smell, They're full of violence, in illegals and drugs
and scum. Mortified, and he's trying to do what he
can to fix it. So the White House Ballroom, we
host people, We host dignitaries from all over the world,

(06:50):
you've seen them, You've seen it on the news. People
the Kings, doesn't matter who it is from across the world.
They will come, most of them, and in some way
it's at some point in time, they will show up
and they will pay homage to the United States of America.
They will meet the American President, they will sit in
the Oval Office, be able to work out a deal.
Maybe it's just a photo op, but they will come.

(07:14):
We can't have a nice ballroom. Let me clarify, we
don't even have a nice ballroom to put on events.
I'm talking about the kind of ballroom you see in
the movies. I don't know that I've ever been in one,
but you see them in the movies, the kind of
ballroom where you walk in and you go, oh my gosh,

(07:34):
is that real gold on the ceiling. We don't even
have that. And we're the United States of America. So
what's he doing. He is privately funding, I should point out,
no matter how much they lie to you, he is
privately funding. He got private people to fund it, privately

(07:56):
funding a ballroom that holds. Get this, I found this
that last night six thousand people seating for six thousand people.
I can't even imagine what a ballroom that size would
look like. I don't think I've ever been in anything
or even seen anything like that. It's going to be huge,
gorgeous and for years and years and years when Donald

(08:18):
Trump is dead and gone, when I'm dead and gone
for decades foreigndignitaries will show up for big events held
on the White House grounds and they will walk in
and go, wow, that's just really cool. Now. To answer
your question, why are the communists so upset by it?

(08:41):
There are two reasons. The first, they have to react
that way to everything Trump does. Remember, Donald Trump has
been turned into the Nazi anti Christ in their mind.
If Donald Trump scooped a sick, dying puppy off the
highway and brought it back and personally nursed it to health,
they would find a way to say that it's the
worst thing in the history of the world. That's part

(09:02):
of it. But another part of it is this, what
do we discussed when we discuss the religion of communism?
What kind of religion is it? What is it? A
religion of what destruction? They're destroyers. It's about destroying everything good.

(09:23):
Some things are The American family must be destroyed. Sometimes
it's a beautiful statue must be destroyed. Maybe it's a
beautiful business it must be destroyed. Maybe it's simple beauty,
individual individual beauty. That's why they'll take your beautiful eighteen
year old daughter, you sent her off to college, and
they'll tell her to gain two hundred pounds and shave
half her head and get a bunch of rings in

(09:44):
her face. It's about destroying everything good. So now think
like think like a communist for a brief moment. Then
we're going to move on. There's too many good questions.
Think like a communist. You're a communist. You're trying to
destroy everything wonderful, beautiful and good, certainly everything in America.
And you find out there's going to be a six

(10:06):
thousand person gilded ballroom that people will enjoy for decades.
Does that make you happy? But does that make you angry?
What if the eighteen year old daughter of yours that
they managed to pack on the pounds and get her
to dyre hair purple? What if she got fit again, happy,

(10:26):
got a boyfriend, she smiles a lot, now she's going
to church. Do you think that would make communists happy
or that would make them sad. That's how they feel
about the prospect of a beautiful ballroom people will enjoy forever.
That's why. All right, Speaking of your daughter, Hey, Bronco,

(10:47):
my daughter is fourteen, very pretty, and I notice scumbag
older men checking her out. What age would you think
is okay to get a burna. She is somewhat familiar
with my firearms and go shooting with me. I just
want her safe. My son, my son, Luke, was shooting
his burna in the backyard by himself routinely at eleven

(11:11):
or twelve. But look, obviously you want to want to
focus on being age appropriate, but it's also non lethal.
They may hate themselves for it if they they if
they squeeze off around, they'll be very miserable for a
half hour, but they're not gonna die or anything like that.
If I had a beautiful fourteen year old daughter with

(11:32):
men gazing at her, I'd have a burner in her hands.
If I had a daughter of any age, I don't
care if she's eighty, I'd have a burner in her hands. Men, women,
get a burner in your hands. They're legal everywhere all
fifty states, no permit needed. They'll save your life, save
your life and stop a very bad man. B y

(11:52):
Rna Berna dot com. We'll be back. What Chris, we
can make jokes. It's fine, he got that right. The
Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on
a magnificent, magnificent Friday. So happy to be back here.
Remember you can email the show of course, Jesse at

(12:12):
Jesse Kellyshow dot com if you're just now tuning in.
Fridays are a little different on The Jesse Kelly Show.
I mean, I guess it's fairly similar to the rest
of the week, but Fridays all three hours. I answer
the questions you email in to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. It's not lame and pathetic like a lot
of that grab bag stuff is. We make sure we

(12:35):
try to do a good job for you as best
we can here on The Jesse Kelly Show. Now that
was the White House Ballroom kerfuffle stuff they're doing. I
wanted to touch on this before I go to Color Revolutions.
I wanted to touch on this story because I was
gone yesterday. I'm not going to go into details of it,
but the Mafia Professional Sports NBA story Sky says Jesse.

(12:59):
Now that we know the MafA has been involved in
rigging card games, might this explain how Governor Pritzker won
one point four million dollars. Okay, so first let's address
Governor Pritzker of Illinois. You know who he is. Obviously,
you've seen his big, fat, dumb face all over the
television set, lying every single chance he gets about how

(13:21):
bad crime is in Illinois and Chicago.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Governor Pritzey, why does Chicago have the highest murder rate
of all the big cities.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
of our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has
been cut in half over the last four years, and
every year it's gone down by double digits. And if
you look at all of the violent crime over the
last four years, they've all gone to a US cities
seventeen point forty seven per one hundred thousand population.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Chicago's number one over phil Yeah. Anyway, you also probably
know by now that he wants to be president of
the United States of America. That is a big reason
why you have seen Governor Pritzker's fat, stupid face on
the television way more in the last six months. Or
so than you ever did before. Frankly, unless you're hyper

(14:11):
hyper political, which I realized you may be, But you
probably didn't really know Governor Pritzker. Even though of Governor Pritzker,
who knows governors that much? You know a few, but
you don't know that many. Why is he all of
a sudden all over the television set threatening ice agent
Donald Trump's a dictator all that stupid stuff. Well, he's
running for president. He's going to run in that Democrat
primary to be president of the United States of America.

(14:33):
You already know that. Something you may not know about
Governor Pritzker is he is a I believe a billionaire Chris.
If he's not a billionaire, I think he's very close.
I think he's a billionaire, uber uber wealthy. So as
much as I would love to crush him for declaring
one point four million dollars in winnings in gambling winnings,

(14:53):
I think it was in Las Vegas, if I remember
the story right. As much as I would love to
say it's criminal, let me clarify why it's probably not.
So there's a world that I've never lived in and
you'll probably never live in. To be honest with you,
and I don't have any desire to live in it,
but I have learned of it. And there's this. It's

(15:17):
this ultra world of billionaires in uber uber wealthy people.
You know, I told you I've been to Las Vegas
a few times. I've gambled before. I'm not really a gambler.
I don't care for it. When I lose money, it
makes my throat fill up with battery acid. I just
cannot do it. So I might throw five bucks on
a game with a friend, but not a gambler. I've

(15:39):
seen gambling ruin people's lives. I'm just not a gambler.
I don't like gambling, not big on it. I'll do it,
not big on it. And if I ever do do it,
you know, if aub and I end up at some
hotel and we'll go down and maybe see a blackjack table,
and we try to find the ten dollars a hand,
five dollars a hand table, the same one you play,
pull out fifty bucks a hundred, you gamble it. When

(16:01):
it's gone, you walk away. That's that's how we try
to do it. I'm not that guy, but there are
I know this for a fact, there are secret gambling
rooms in Las Vegas casinos that you will never see,

(16:21):
and I will never see. It doesn't matter how many
phone calls, the may how many strings I try to pull,
I will never even lay eyes on them. Regular people
will never lay eyes on them. And what's more, you
will probably never lay eyes on the people who gamble
in them. I'm talking about secret entrances from underground garages

(16:44):
where the paparazzi can't see you, where you are whisked
away through very very posh corridors in the bowels of
a Las Vegas hotel and you walk into the most
beautiful little gambling room possible, and the only people in
there are the white staff, who are sworn to secrecy

(17:04):
under pain of death, and they have to hire the
most strict NDAs, and the history of mankind. You can't
believe the things they make these people sign. You're not
allowed to go home to your wife and say, hey, honey,
Governor Pritzker was in tonight, or you lose everything. It's understood.
And this is where Michael Jordan gambles, and this is
where guys like Pritzker gamble. They're not out there at

(17:26):
the five dollar blackjack table with you and me. They're
not pulling slots or whatever. Those are the slots, right,
the things I've never actually played there. They're not pulling slots.
They are in a private place in the same building
technically you are. But they don't gamble like you, and
they don't gamble like me. I realize I don't gamble much.

(17:47):
But do you understand what I'm saying? And for a
guy like Pritzker, a billionaire, if you were to tell
me that in one night he lost ten million dollars,
I would say, oh yeah, let's see that. And if
you were to tell me in one night he won
five million dollars, I would tell you the exact same thing.

(18:10):
Oh yeah, I can see that when normal people here
one point four million dollars he won that gambling. That
must be corrupt. It's a totally understandable reaction. But there, Yeah,
Chris said one or two hands. It really is. Honestly,
when I heard that, I thought, oh billionaire, Yeah, all right,

(18:33):
he had he hit it big at the end, he
had one great he had a great hand or two
walked away from the tables. Now let's set that aside.
Let's touch briefly on the mafia NBA gambling thing. I'm
not big on it, so I'm not going to spend
probably more in a minute out, but I will touch
on it in a moment. Now, I want to talk
about the date. It's October twenty fourth. You know that,

(18:58):
you know the end of the year is coming. You
know what you're going to be sniffing around for a
tax deduction like we all are, because the greedy government's
going to stick his hands in your wallet and pillage you.
You know that giving to preborn is tax deductible. If
you gave preborn twenty eight dollars right now, they would

(19:21):
use it to give a woman an ultrasound for free,
and she would choose life instead of abortion. If you
gave preborn twenty eight thousand right now, they would do
the same thing a thousand times over. And did you
know that all of it is tax deductible. Is there
a better way to get a tax deduction? I don't

(19:43):
think so. Saving babies' lives, that's what you and preborn
have done for a long time. Preborn dot com slash
jesse go give and deduct it on your taxes. Preborn
dot com slash Jesse sponsored by pre bown. We'll be
back truth attitude. Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly

(20:08):
Show on a Friday. Getting right back into it here.
Let's talk about this mafia rigging card games story. And
I'm not going to get into any specifics. So they
don't care about the NBA and I don't care about
any of that. But what I do care about is
crime and society and organized crime. And look, I'll be
honest with you. I'm not going to speak for women,
but I will speak for every single dude listening to

(20:31):
the sound of my voice, every dude listening to the
sound of my voice, who woke up yesterday and saw
a story or read a story about the Italian mafia
rigging NBA games or card games or whatever the headline
happened to say, whatever one you read, every single dude
to a man thought to himself, Oh that sounds kind

(20:52):
of cool. Let me explain men much more so than women. No,
we're not worse, but all men have this thing inside
of them, a rebellious streak inside of them. Maybe it's
small in you, maybe it's big in you. That it

(21:15):
just totally depends on so many things upbringing, how God
created you, but all men we dream of this scenario,
society degrading to a point, or you being pushed to
a point in some way where you throw caution to
the wind, you throw laws to the wind. You're not

(21:38):
obeying rules anymore, and you're gonna do whatever you wanna do,
come what may. That's why movies where somebody innocent gets
hurt or kill the John Wick movies. You killed his
puppy and now he has no choice but to murder
three hundred people for it. That the dudes love movies
like that, And because of things like that, organized crime

(22:02):
we'll working about the Italian mafia. The Italian mafia has
always had a fascination with the American male, and I
realize some women as well. You're telling me there's this
fairly secret group of men, and they just do whatever
they want. They just commit crimes. They're no way, and

(22:25):
that's why there's so many movies about them. People are
fascinated by the lifestyle, fascinated by it, even if you
don't ever want to do it, right, I don't ever
want to do it. I don't ever want to be
one of those guys. I couldn't be one of those guys.
But even if you don't want to do it, here's
a little party that does. So we hear these things
that we're fascinated by. I'm not defending it at all

(22:46):
because they are criminals and murderers and thieves and it's terrible.
Please don't do it. But that's the fascination with it.
And that's why that story made so many headlines yesterday.
I know I wasn't on the air because I was
doing the Megan Kelly thing, but that's why that thing
got so big yesterday. I will say when we were
on the way to the Megan Kelly thing, I was driving.

(23:07):
You know, it's me ob and the boys. I took
the boys last night. We were on our way to
the Megan Kelly thing and it was away from our house,
so we were driving there. The boys brought it up
because the boys, of course, all their friends in school
were talking about Dad, did you hear about the mob? Dad?
Did you hear about this? Dad? What do you think
about that? So I just tell you the same thing
I told the boys. You can and should, frankly, attack

(23:31):
crime in your society. Crime is something that has to
be attacked. You have to go after it. You have
to arrest and prosecute and imprison criminals. Otherwise, the criminals
you don't arrest, they'll commit more crimes and worse crimes,
and society will go completely out of control as the
bad people overwhelm the good people. This is basic criminal justice.

(23:52):
You have to have a society that attacks criminals, which
is why Democrats don't. But we'll set that aside for now. However,
no matter how much time, no matter how many resources
you dedicate to attacking the organized crime, the Italian mafia,
it will never ever ever be snuffed out completely because

(24:15):
mankind will always have a desire for things he's not
allowed to have. Whatever that maybe it's illegal gambling, maybe
maybe maybe it's drugs, Maybe choose your choose your vice.
There will always be a desire for it. As long
as there is a desire for it, there will be

(24:37):
a market for it, and as long as there is
a market for it, there will be men who find
a way to serve that market, period, end of story.
That is what has kept all organized crime. It's not
just Italians, the Russians, the Mexicans, the Irish, that they're
organized crime groups everywhere. That is what has kept them

(24:57):
alive forever and will keep them alive for a long time.
You're just trying to make sure they don't get so
big and powerful they overwhelm you. And to get a
little bit darker because there's there's some an ugly story
that we've talked about before here. Well, I'll go ahead
and play it. Tulsea Gabbert talked about it. This is
not going to be news to you. You've heard this
before about human trafficking.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Here the most insidious was providing intelligence to the Mexican
law enforcement that led to the arrest of a CJNG
cartel affiliated baby trafficker called La Diablo. Her whole money
making operation was centered around luring pregnant women, performing illegal
c sections, harvesting organs, and selling newborn babies.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
You remember that story when we talked about it. It's Friday,
am in a great mood, so I don't want to
dwell on the horror of that. But what did she
just say? You took pregnant women, you lied to them
to get them to an undisclosed location where you then

(26:05):
cut their babies out of them, killed the women, and
harvested the organs, and then sold the babies off. How
could that happen more specifically for our purposes here. Why
would that even happen. Why would that happen? Organs and

(26:26):
babies because there's a market for it. That's why organs,
organs are in demand as people around the globe have
failing ones. Now that the medical technology is available to
take your failing one and remove it from your body

(26:49):
and find a healthy one and put it in your body.
Now that that technology is available, people who don't want
to die, they would like to purchase one. And if
they have to purchase one the black market, they will
purchase one. And babies, why are you taking a woman's baby?

(27:11):
What are you doing with the baby? There's a market
for that too. Do I need to remind you what
Brandon Darby came on the show and told us about
that little market. I have cringed and winced and many
times on this show is we've talked about whatever news
of the day there is, But I don't know that
I've ever winced as hard as I winced when Brandon Darby,

(27:34):
our cartel expert, sat right here and told us, Yeah,
gay couples are buying these babies in the United States
of America. I know this is I know this is ugly.
We're gonna move on. We're gonna talk about something else.
We'll talk about you. Honestly, I think I'll probably do
just a little bit of history here, just to get
us off of the ugliness, and just a little brief history.

(27:56):
We're not going to do a long one right now.
But as we talked about before, there is a dark,
dark world all around you, all around me that you
don't know about and I don't know about. And when
every single cop listening to the sound of my voice, everyone,
every state trooper, every sheriff, every city cop, every rural cop.

(28:19):
They have found this world because they work in this world.
Their job puts them in this world, and they're all
every one of them is nodding his head in approval
right now or in agreement right now about this dark world.
You don't think about that muffler shop that you drive
by every single day, No big deal, right They've been

(28:41):
dealing heroin out of there for the last fifteen years.
Someone was killed there and they buried him underneath the concrete.
It's the world we live in, man. It's ugly, it's dark.
This is just pray. You get to stay in the
light all right, stay in the light. You don't need
those drugs anyway. All you need is relief Factor. It's
drug you do you know, relief Factor is drug free.

(29:03):
I'm gonna stress that again. When it comes to pain,
we want it to go away, obviously, we want it
to go away so we can get back to doing
the things we love. But maybe maybe you've already convinced
yourself that you won't ever be able to do that.
You're too old, right, You can't golf anymore. Your back hurts. Done,
it's done my golf and days are done. I don't
get to walk anymore. Ah, it's my knee too old. No,

(29:27):
you haven't tried relief factor yet. Stop accepting pain, Stop
taking drugs to mask pain. Try a hundred percent drug
free supplement Relief Factor. They will sell you three weeks
of it. It's a quick start for nineteen dollars and
ninety five cents. You take it every day, all right.

(29:49):
It supports your body's natural response to that inflammation. It's
like every day the pain in your body gets turned
down a little more, a little more, and a little more.
Soon it's gone one eight hundred. Do the number four
relief or relief factor dot com. We'll be back. This

(30:12):
is a Jesse Kelly Show night. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday. Member. You can email
the show you love, your hate, your death threats Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. That was a lot of
human trafficking and Oregon harvesting talk. Let's get away from that.
Let's talk about something maybe a little, a little historical,

(30:33):
maybe something to make you think, something that makes me think. Jesse,
your history on the Bridge over the River KWHI was
interesting to me and a reminder of the brutality of
the Japanese the Japanese inflicted on the POWs. One thing
that uh I happen to think about was I can
understand now why so many baby boomers don't buy Japanese products. However,

(30:59):
Japanese products are now generally better than most other products.
It occurred to me that the Germanic barbarians and Scandavian
barbarians are now also known for their engineering precision. Is
this a coincidence or can you think of other people
who were militaristic barbarians that are now great engineers? Any

(31:19):
thoughts on why or why not? All? Right? So let's
have a talk. Maybe an ugly talk, maybe a wonderful talk,
but something that I have thought about many times before
as I try to learn about history and military campaigns
and societies and their rise and their fall. And I

(31:42):
guess the best I can tell you is this, Let's
take our morality, our thoughts on things like killing people.
Let's set that aside for a moment, just a moment,
all right, Believe me, I want you to pick it
back up in a moment. Just set that aside for
a moment. Now, Why, let's let's approach this from this way.

(32:05):
Why is it that life expectancy today is so much
longer than it was in you know history? Why? Why
is it now? There was even in America, in our
early times. In America, I believe the number is fifty
percent of babies would die at some point after birth,

(32:27):
I think within their first two years. I forget the
exact metric, but it was it was half. I know
that's the number. Now, that's that's very rare. I know
what happens, but that's very rare. What why do we
live so much longer now? Well, mankind itself, We're not
going to make this just about America. Mankind itself has advanced.

(32:48):
Mankind has advanced in a million different ways technologically. One
of the main drivers, in fact, in that advancement is
the availability of cheap energy. That is, something that was
not available in the past. Everything we run by fire
or even when steam was in advancement. Now we have
all these ways of energy, cheap affordable energy. Even poor

(33:10):
people have lights and air conditioning and refrigerators. So mankind
as a whole, as a whole, let's look at everything
as a whole has advanced. Okay, that's good, it's good.
We want to advance, don't we. Now how how does
mankind advance? Let's talk about Well, let's use someone. I

(33:32):
love the Sioux or the Lakota Indians. I mean, I
like Indian tribes. I've always thought they were so cool.
I've always learned about them. I was the dork who
wanted to be the Indian when we played Cowboys and
Indians so much. So I like Indian tribes, Cherokees and
all of them. I just love them. So let's use
the Lakota. The sup Now, they were lords of the planes,

(33:54):
great on horseback, and they were dominant over the other
Indian peace bulls in their area dominant, warlike, dominant and
the most powerful. Now if the Lakota, if they had
been able to keep their stranglehold on their area, would

(34:16):
mankind have advanced to a place where the average person
lives seventy years old? Now? No, okay, okay, So how
did we get rid of the Lakota.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
War?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
The more technologically advanced power fought killed them and took
what they had. We conquered them. I made this about
the Lakota because I'm a fan, but we can make
it about any tribal peoples anywhere, not just in America.
The tribe, the less technologically advanced tribal people were conquered

(34:58):
and killed, let's be honest, conquered and killed by more
advanced people. Now, even people who are kind of on
the fence about things that kind of makes you win
wins a little. So doesn't it cringe you squirm in
your seat? I kind of? I mean, I really wish
Australia hadn't. I mean, I wish the Aborigines hadn't been
crushed and slaughtered. And maybe Caesar shouldn't have killed a

(35:22):
million galls, And maybe it makes you squirm in your
seat totally understandable. I'm not saying I'm not saying otherwise.
But if we're looking at mankind as a whole, is
conquest bad when generally it is the more technologically advanced

(35:44):
power who wins. Yes, it is horrible for the people
who are being conquered, no question. And this is not
necessarily a defensive conquest, just a way to think about
things from a real thirty thousand foot view. Is conquest
bad when mankind itself advances people today, millions and millions,

(36:13):
tens of millions of them. They lead better lives, longer lives,
more comfortable lives, tens of millions. Let's be honest, billions
of people live better lives because tribal peoples around the
globe were conquered by more technologically advanced powers. Kind of

(36:34):
a survival of the fittest thing. A pride of lions.
Do you know there's one male that leads a pride
of lions. Did you know that he's the one who
gets to breed with all the female lions, And did
you know that he has to fight, sometimes to the
death the other males in order to achieve that. You know,
who wins in the end, The pride itself. You have

(36:57):
stronger offspring, and the leader, the protector of your tribe,
is stronger. The pride itself benefits in every way by
the most powerful male defeating and sometimes killing the less
powerful male. Ugly of course, also probably for the best.

(37:21):
I think maybe when you look at things like the
Japanese and the way they are and then making the
products they make. I don't know that you can separate
the two, not completely anyway. You know who's not a
lion as Fred. In fact, Fred is having a uniquely
terrible day. My in laws were in town, loving on

(37:44):
him every second. My sister was in town, loving on
him every second. Now they have left town, and now
when I left the house today, Fred was curled up
by the front door, just laying there, whimpering as if
he'd been beaten, just whimpering, constantly upset. This is the
life we have with the basket case dog that we
have bought. And this is why he needed roughgreens so

(38:07):
he would stop having digestive problems after every meal. He
gets an upset stomach when he gets stressed out, and
he's stressed out twenty four hours a day. So we
started sprinkling the number one dog supplement in America on
his food. And now the stress remains, but his coat
looks good and he doesn't make messes in the house anymore.
You want a healthier dog that lives longer, starts sprinkling

(38:29):
Roughgreens on your dog's food. Go to Roughgreens dot com
