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 magnificent Monday, of a Marine Corps Birthday Monday, and
we're going to talk about a lot of things this hour.
Medal of Honor Monday's coming up just thirty seconds from now.
(00:31):
We're also going to get to the struggles right now
of middle class, working class people and the dangerous spot
that puts us in as a nation. Really for both sides,
both parties will do that. I am going to get
to some emails. There's all kinds of stuff I have
to get to. But you know what time it is.
(00:51):
It is Monday, start of the second hour on Monday.
And that means we honor a hero, we say his name,
we remember it for many. Maybe this is you. Maybe
this will be the first time you ever heard this thing.
Maybe this will be the first and only time you
ever heard about these deeds. When people go out and
(01:12):
earn a medal of honor, they write up what he did,
They write it up and everyone can read these and
I would encourage you to do so with family, at work,
in school, that if you're one of the wonderful teachers
who listens. Your students will eat this stuff up. Stop
political and research these things. But it is important to
(01:35):
remember our heroes and what they did, and it serves
to inspire future generations to become men like these. Now
I'm sure you already guessed it, but being as how
it's the Marine Corps birthday, we are going to honor
a marine here. Before we get to him, I just
wanted to explain that this takes place on Okinawa. For
(01:58):
World War two history buffs some people who've ever listened
to this show for any length of time, you'll already
know a lot or most of this. But the war
in the Pacific against the Japanese Empire was so unspeakably terrible.
It was unspeakably terrible for really two main reasons, the
first one being the environment where they fought. It was.
(02:21):
You know, it sounds tropical and nice, but you know
it's nice about the tropics. When you're in an air
conditioned hotel and somebody bringing you chicken strips by the pool,
you know it's not lovely when people were trying to
kill you, and there's everything from yellow fever to malaria
to crocodiles that can kill you. The environment was brutal,
(02:44):
brutally hot, that it was a horrible, horrible place to fight.
And I said there were two reasons. The second reason
was the Japanese, the Japanese Empire of World War two.
Better think it's lucky stars that Hitler and the Nazis
were busy doing unspeakable things all throughout Europe because the
Japanese Empire in World War Two was every bit as evil.
(03:07):
They just didn't get the public, the pub They were
a militaristic empire. They were all about torture and rape
and murder, and it was just what they did. It
was what they believed in. It was how they conducted
themselves during the war. And they also believed in dying
to the last man. They never ever ever surrendered in
(03:28):
mass It never happened. Oftentimes, when the Japanese would finally
lose an island, they would do so with ninety nine
percent casualties. You'd have a guy here or a guy there,
but they would all die. If they weren't killed in battle,
they'd kill themselves. They'd hold grenades to their head, they
would just it was awful in the Marines and the
(03:52):
army to give them credit. The army was very valiant
in the Pacific War. Fought their way from island to
island to island, and the idea was take enough islands,
working your way closer to Japan. You wanted to be
as close to Japan as possible so you could launch
(04:12):
more air raids into Japan, and so you would have
an appropriate staging area to finish off the invasion of Japan.
If God forbid, you had to invade the place which
brings us to Okinawa, after Ewo, Jima, after everything, really
the final stop pre Japan was Okinawa. The good news
(04:37):
is it's almost over. The bad news is the Japanese
knew it was almost over. This was there in their minds,
final chance to keep Americans from killing their families back home.
It's what they believed. They believed their families, their entire
nation was at stake, and they were going to fight
(04:57):
that way. And because this is nineteen forty five, they
had had an entire war against us to learn. It's
very easy to assume that you're the only side with brains,
You're the only side that learns you're just facing a
static enemy. He's almost a robot, really, but he's not
(05:17):
a robot. He learns what works and what doesn't work.
And what they learned was trying to stop America at
the beaches does not work. It never worked for them.
You're going to get some Americans on the beaches, but
you're not going to stop them from landing. It's not possible.
America had too many planes, too much naval gun power
(05:38):
that were just they could run you off the beaches
and they could land. But you can fight a defense
in depth. You find strategic defensive locations on the interior
of whatever island you're going to defend, and you turn
those into what amount to be underground fortresses, and there
(06:01):
you just kill Americans by the thousand. That was Okinawa,
a living hell like you cannot possibly imagine. And that
brings us to James Lewis. They born in East Saint Louis, Illinois.
Hey honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry in intrepidity at the
(06:30):
risk of his life, above and beyond the call of
duty as squad leader in sustained combat operations against Japanese forces.
On the first day, Corporal day rallied his squad in
the remnants of another unit and led them to a
critical position forward of the lines of Sugar Loaf Hill.
Soon thereafter, they came under an intense mortar in artillery
(06:52):
barrage that was quickly followed by a ferocious ground attack
by some forty Japanese soldiers. Despite the loss of one
half of his men, Corporal Day remained at the forefront,
shouting encouragement, hurling grenades, and directing deadly fire, thereby repelling
the determined enemy. Reinforced by six men, he led his
(07:15):
squad in repelling three fierce night attacks, but suffered five
additional marines killed and one wounded, whom he assisted the safety.
Upon hearing nearby calls for coorm and assistance, Corporal Day
braved enemy heavy enemy fire to escort four seriously wounded marines,
(07:37):
one at a time to safety. Corporal Day then manned
a light machine gun, assisted by a wounded marine, and
halted another night attack. In this ferocious action, his machine
gun was destroyed and he suffered multiple white phosphorus and
fragmentation wounds. He reorganized his defensive position and tim to
(08:00):
halt a fifth enemy attack. With the devastated. With devastating
small arms fire. On three separate occasions, Japanese soldiers closed
to within a few feet of his foxhole, but were
killed by Corporal Day. During the second day, the enemy
conducted numerous unsuccessful swarming attacks against his exposed position. When
(08:23):
the attacks momentarily subsided, over seventy enemy dead were counted
around his position. On the third day, a wounded and
exhausted Corporal Day repulsed the final repulse the enemy's final attack,
killing a dozen enemy soldiers at close range. Having yielded
(08:44):
no ground and with more than anemy one hundred enemy
dead around his position, Corporal Day preserved the lives of
his fellow Marines and made a significant contribution to the
success of the Okinawa campaign. Corporal Day inspired the efforts
of his outnumbered marines to defeat a much larger enemy force,
(09:05):
reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions
of the Marine Corps in the United States Naval Service.
Corporal Day thought he was going to die. He was
alone because every time he got help they would be killed.
(09:26):
He would roll the grenades down the hill. He didn't
want to shoot. Oftentimes, when he heard them coming at
him at night, he would roll the grenades down the
hills so as not to expose his exact location, listening
to the grenades blow up Japanese soldiers in front of him.
(09:51):
I just told you about the Japanese Empire. Corporal Day
was undoubtedly aware of what would happen should God forbid,
he be knocked out or wounded and the Japanese get
a hold of him alive. I will spare you the
details of what happened to marine after marine, soldier after
(10:13):
soldier in that unfortunate situation. But he would not have
died quickly. It would have been bad. And yet for
three days he sat up there murdering Japanese soldiers. That's amazing,
and you know what I think he deserves on this birthday.
(11:02):
Happy birthday, Marines, Happy birthday day, Happy birthday to all
of you. That is the kind of legacy left behind
by heroes greater than us. Speaking of heroes, you have
heard me discuss Macvsog in Vietnam multiple times, ridiculous bravery
(11:25):
over fifty percent dead casualty rates, the likes of which
really have never been seen, certainly the highest by a
mile in Vietnam. You didn't survive, You just didn't survive.
This is the guy who runs pure Talk, did two
tours with mac VSG. How could you have a company
(11:46):
that is so overwhelmingly patriotic? How's that possible? That's what
pure Talk is. It's patriotism. They hire Americans. No one
does that anymore. You know about them giving rescue dogs
to veterans with PTSD giving on American flags on Independence Day?
Does Verizon do that? At and T T Mobile my
(12:08):
cell phone company? Does you want to save some money
and give your money to a much better place? Pick
up your phone dial pound two five zero and say
Jesse Kelly. An American will get you switched over. During
the break pound two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, We'll
(12:29):
be back the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Reminding you you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So let's discuss some economic
things before we get to other emails and other parts
of the show and goofing off and things like that.
(12:51):
I do want to discuss economic things now, not in
big nerdy terms. It's not that your life, my life.
The things in this life. And so I got this email.
This is about the Trump shut or the Trump shut down,
the shutdown that is now coming to an end. Not
(13:11):
quite over yet, obviously, but coming to an end. And
here it is Jesse. The subject to this one is
where are my firings? Another empty threat slash promise from
the Trump administration. I was promised mass firings because of
the shutdown. How many people have been fired? Three? I'm
(13:31):
disgusted by the lack of spine. Make them feel pain.
Enough is enough? His name is Chris Okay. So I
also wanted large numbers of government employees fired. Yes, the
Trump administration said if you shut down the government, we
will fire large numbers of government employees. And no, that
(13:54):
did not happen. That's a very very fair criticism. But
I wanted to use this email as an opportunity to
explain something because I'm actually about to insult a couple
things that have been proposed economically by the White House.
So I needed to get something out of the way first.
You know that I don't wave palm poms. I don't
(14:16):
do it. You know that I'm more than willing to
insult really everybody in the GOP, happy to do it,
and have yelled about Trump before me. He does something
I disagree with and I always will and if you
don't like it, you can pounce in That's that's what
I believe in. But here's what I know. I know
that the mass importation of foreigners is destroying this country.
(14:42):
It is winning elections for open communists. It is the reason.
It's not the only reason for so many problems that
affect your life, but it is a big reason for
so many problems that affect your life. If you could
snap your fingers and deport fifty million foreigners, all our
problems would not just appear, but all of our problems
would get better, significantly better overnight. They would. It is
(15:05):
It's one of those rare things that solves not everything,
but goes a long way to solving everything. Magic pills
are rare. You deport fifty million foreigners, housing gets affordable
like that. Imagine when you're not competing with fifty million foreigners,
healthcare affordable like that. What do you think happens to tuition?
(15:26):
What do you think happens to crime? Cleanliness? But what
do you think happens to the Democrat Party? If you
deport fifty million foreigners? It's almost I don't want to
oversell it, but it's almost this this magic bullet that
does everything. Okay, So what's that have to do with
(15:47):
the government firings and whatnot? The Trump administration. Maybe you
remember the final year of his first term. It was
very hard on Trump. Why because Donald Trump fifteen days
to slow the spread. Donald Trump allowed himself to be
(16:07):
manipulated by very evil people into destroying the economy that
was going well, and I was very angry about it.
Vice versa. The Trump administration has gotten two million foreigners
out of the country in ten months. That's not twenty million.
(16:29):
I know it's not ten it's not the fifty we need.
Tell me another administration that has done that. And it's
not just that they have gotten two million foreigners out,
one point five of those of self deportations, but still out.
I don't care how you get out, just get out.
On top of that, they are obviously when you look
(16:51):
at the ice hirings, when you look at the various
things they're doing, they are building a deportation machine will
make what's already happened into the warm up act. They're
warming up. They're learning what works, what doesn't works, what
personnel they need. We've already heard, remember we discussed this
(17:12):
on the show. A huge leadership shakeup at ICE in
major ICE hubs. The Trump administration was not happy with
the pace of things. They started firing people. And yet,
what do you think, what do you think they're doing
things like this for it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Because you got over two hundred thousand applications in how
many of those are going to take and how quickly
can you get them on the street because you need
a lot of backup right now?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, you got it, We got it. Two hundred thousand applications. Now,
those people still have to be screened, still have to
be trained, so that'll take time too. I get that.
That was not me telling you that I am going
to sit here every day and wave Donald Trump's palm palms.
In fact, like I said, I'm just about to insult
a couple things that have come out of the White House.
(17:57):
I'll explain. However, as long as the Trump administration remains
committed to deporting as many foreigners in his four years
as possible, he is going to get more leeway from
me than otherwise than he would otherwise. I was probably
more critical of him in the first term than I
(18:19):
otherwise would have because of the COVID lockdowns while he's
deporting millions of foreigners. He's going to get more leeway
from me than ever before. That's not to say it's perfect.
It's not to say I didn't want to see fifty
one hundred thousand a million government employees fired. I wanted
it too. We didn't get it. It sucks. I'll give
(18:43):
him some leeway, and except when it comes to fifty
year mortgages. Next, you're listening to the Oracle. You love
this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic Monday. Member.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
(19:04):
email it Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So before
we get to those emails and the airports and all
kinds of things, Jimmy Kimmel, his wife leaving her family,
before we get to any of that other stuff, well,
I'll just read this something we've read before on the show.
(19:24):
I want to read it again. Fifteen million more adults
under the age of thirty five are living with their
parents compared to a decade ago. Per that's per Fortune magazine.
Fifteen million. Now I could sit here and I could
read stats like that for the next hour and a
(19:47):
half of the show. I could, because the stats are well,
they all point to the same thing. Middle class people
are being pushed down into the lower classes, and lower
class people flat out aren't making it. Younger people are
not finding younger Americans. I should say, if you're from Somalia,
you're good. But younger Americans are not finding jobs. They
(20:12):
are a graduating college, many of them in debt, and
they cannot find a good job to even go live
on their own, let alone start paying off the debt.
And all the statistics point to this fact. Younger people today,
they do not have the same opportunities older generations did.
(20:34):
America for younger people today is less affordable than their
parents had, than their grandparents had, than their great grandparents had.
That's just simply a fact. It is. Can't find a house,
can't find this now. This is a bad obviously a
terrible situation, and it's terrible for a laundry list of reasons.
(20:57):
One of those reasons may be, well, your life is
worse and you're you're finding goals you had unachievable. Well,
when I'm twenty eight years old, I want to own
a home and have a wife and a dozen kids,
and then okay, so I understand that, but it's also
terrible for this reason. When life becomes unaffordable, not just
(21:19):
houses either, car insurance, home insurance, just health assurance. When
life becomes unaffordable, what will inevitably happen is people inside
the government will promise to hand you money in one
way or another to make it better. They will. Now,
(21:43):
the history of this is not often well known. You
know it, but Normanis don't know it. Normis don't understand
how COVID and the massive printing of money caused all
the inflation that made life unaffordable. Normalis don't know that.
Normanis don't understand how much more affordable health insurance was
(22:03):
before Obamacare. Normanies don't know that. You know what Normies know.
They can't afford it. Can't afford a house, can't afford
this feeling, the squeeze. And of course Democrats, who really
authored so many of these things, most definitely the healthcare one.
Democrats are aware you can't afford it. That's why they
(22:24):
tried to make the whole shutdown thing about health insurance. Healthcare.
Chuck Schumer when he was whining about it.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Democrats have been fighting to get the Senate to address
the healthcare crisis. This bill does nothing to ensure that
that crisis is addressed. I am voting no, and I
will keep fighting.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Now. I need you to walk with me with something.
And this might be a painful walk, all right, it
might be, but just walk with me. We have the
midterm elections coming up in twenty twenty eight. We have
a big presidential election. If you had a handicap it
you'd say JD. Van's versus Gavin Newsom doesn't matter. Big
(23:05):
presidential election coming up. Now, I'm not talking about you,
nor am I concerned about you. You're going to be fine.
But you're enormy. You're one of these weird independents. You
voted for Obama and then Trump, and then Biden and
then Trump again. You're just kind of all over the place.
You're just a low info normy Democrats are out there
(23:32):
loudly campaigning on the cost of health insurance that stops
stops up. Don't start screaming at me and screaming at
the radio. But they're the ones who cast it with Obamacare.
I know, I know, we're not talking about you. You're informed.
I'm talking to low infos. Democrats are running on the
cost of health insurance. The cost we just had to
(23:54):
renew our health insurance here at iHeart. It's just unbelievable,
how crappy the insurance is now for what you have
to pay for, It's unbelievable, horrible. And Democrats their message
is you're paying too much for health insurance. You're paying
too much for health insurance. You're paying too much for
health insurance. Do you think that is going to have
(24:16):
a receptive audience. I'm not worried about you with the Normies.
Is that Is that message going to land well with Normies?
Of course it will. So here's where we end up
in a serious pickle. How do you answer that? What's
(24:38):
your political answer for that? If you don't want Democrats
to take the House, the Senate, and the White House
in twenty twenty eight, this is where Republicans will fall
into traps. They will fall into what I would probably
classify as a populist trap. They will We'll try to
(25:01):
hand out different stuff, try to control and manipulate the
market in different ways, not the same ways, so we
can claim superiority, but Trump over the weekend floated a
two thousand dollars dividend from tariffs for normal Americans. Of course,
he even put in there excluding the wealthy, not including
(25:24):
high income people. What they've already attempted. Scott Pisent and
others attempted to try to walk it back. But don't
pay me two thousand dollars of my own money. This
is why you get things like Josh Holly, we played
(25:45):
it for you before. When he's talking about Amazon.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Their CEO is getting paid. Let me make sure I
get this right. In twenty twenty four, Amazon's president earned
forty point one million dollars in total compensation forty point one.
The previous year he'd earned merely twenty nine point two.
I mean, that's that's an unbelievable that's great work. If
you can get it, that's an unbelievable raise. Only problem is,
(26:11):
according to their own financial disclosures, Amazon's average worker average
employee worldwide is making thirty seven thousand, one hundred and
eighty one dollars thirty seven thousand, one hundred and eighty
one dollars, So that's a c suite to employee ratio
of one thousand and seventy eight to one.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That kind of wealth envy crap is going to have
a receptive audience. But that's not the solution. Democrats don't
have good solutions. They're going to make everything worse. But
handing people more stimmy checks makes everything worse. Whining about
the pay of the CEO and Amazon just creates more
(26:53):
wealth envy and makes everything worse. Populism can be great
at times, and it can be completely disastrous at times.
Headline Trump administration considering fifty year mortgages. This is, of course,
to get the average monthly cost down. Do you have
any idea what you would pay for a two hundred
(27:16):
thousand dollars house in the end, after you got done
paying off a fifty year mortgage. I won't, even in
the interest of making sure a Jewish producer Chris doesn't
stroke out on the air, I'm not going to elaborate
on what you would pay, but it would be you
(27:37):
don't want to know. I'll just put it to you
that way, you don't want to know. These aren't solutions.
These are temporary government throwing the starving peasants a loaf
of bread solutions. They don't tackle the fundamental problem until
government spending and money printing as is addressed, these problems consist. They'll, they'll,
(28:03):
they'll go on forever. Now again, I hate to beat
a dead horse, but deporting fifty million foreigners will. She'll
sure go a long way to solving a lot of this,
including health insurance. When you don't have to keep paying
for the health insurance of illegals who flood the emergency room,
that will certainly help, But that's another story entirely. Until then,
(28:24):
you might want to grab yourself a Berna launcher to
make sure you can at least fight one off when
he tries to stab you in the parking lot. Berna
is the self defense solution for everyone. If you are
like me and you already know I concealed carry, I
want a non lethal option. I don't want to kill
the homeless guy who's pooping on the hood of my
(28:47):
car when I leave the studio at night. You maybe
don't have a concealed carry option. Berna is legal for
everybody shoots these pepper balls or tear gas. Did you
know this? You knew something crazy? You know you don't
even necessarily have to hit him with it. Been situations
where you can just shoot the ground in front of them,
(29:08):
and this pepper ball cloud just freaking destroys them. They live,
You live more importantly and you don't get arrested. B
y Rna Berna dot com slash Jesse Berner dot com
slash Jesse. We'll be back, miss something. There's a podcast
(29:31):
getting on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday.
You can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
I'm just in such a good mood today, I can't
imagine what it is. Ah, that's probably it, don't you think, Chris,
(30:22):
It's probably it. Be safe out there tonight, Marines, all right?
And in fact, I hate to even do this because
you know, you know, I don't want to be the
fun police. And I certainly am not one who's ever, ever,
ever going to judge you for any mistakes you make,
(30:43):
anyones you've made in the past, anyonees you're going to
make tonight, Marines. I'm not going to judge you. I
am just going to offer a little bit of advice
from time to time about this or that. You can
take it, you can leave it. But I saw this
started when I want to, I wanted to address it.
It's from the New York Posts. Kind of a weird
(31:04):
thing to even write, but I got it. The best
and worst airports for getting tipsy during travel are revealed. Okay,
this is the New York Post telling you where to
get hammered which airport? Now let's talk. And again, this
(31:25):
is a note. This is a judgment for his zone.
I'm the guy. I'm the guy who used to sit
in the dark when I got back from Iraq with
the blinds closed and the lights out, getting drunk by
myself in the living room, sitting in a chair in
the middle of the living room. I'm the guy who
used to get road beers on the way home. I'm
(31:46):
not judging you at all, not at all. I'm this
is just an assessment of what is worth it and
what is not. Let me ask you something. If you
have a history of boozing it up, how many what
percentage would you put on it? What percentage of the
(32:07):
time is it worth it? And by the way, I'm
not gonna say again, I'm not fun policing. I'm not
gonna say it's never worth it. You're at a concert,
you're having an extra glass of wine with your wife.
I'm not saying that it's never been fun. Not what
I'm saying. Would you at least agree with me that,
(32:28):
especially as you get older, those percentages go down. The
juice may be not worth the squeeze. You with me? Still, Okay,
you know what that percentage falls to when you are
traveling by air zero the percentage falls to zero. I
(32:49):
do not understand this concept. This is a concept I
actually rejected back in my boozing days when I was
super young. I came to this realization. Okay, so you're
gonna go into the airport bar, Applebee's or Chili's or something.
You're going to crush ten beers at Chili's before you
(33:12):
get on a flight to Chicago. Now that you're all
lubed up from ten beers at Chili's, what are things
you would normally do? Let's say you were at the house.
I will tell you what I will be doing tonight
when I get home. I'm gonna watch a Marine Corps
documentary about Pelulu. Someone just told me there's one on Netflix.
I'm watching it tonight. That might be something you do
(33:35):
after ten beers. Maybe you call up a friend. Hey,
come watch baseball? Baseball seasons ever? Come watch football tonight?
It's Monday night football. I know that. Hey, that might
be something you do. Maybe you turn on music, play
video games, maybe you text an X bad idea. There
are a variety of things you can do at home.
(33:57):
None of those options are available to you when you're traveling.
You're going to get on an airplane in a gigantic
steel tube with annoying, smelly strangers. What are you planning
on doing? Are you going to keep drinking? I've had
(34:17):
people yell at me, well just keep drinking. Okay, So
you're what You're going to pass out and vomit on
the fight that's the plane? Oh no, no, I'll stop. Okay.
So on top of flying being super miserable, you're going
to add a midflight hangover in there. You know what
those ten beers need to do. They have to come out.
(34:41):
Have you used the bathroom in an airplane before? Have
you gone? Do you feel like going ten times in there?
I don't understand the appeal. Oh oh, and then when
you get where you're going, what's waiting for you? Are
you walking right off the airplane and into your living room. No,
maybe you're one of these savages who checks a bag.
(35:03):
I wouldn't know. I refuse to do such a thing.
The Kellys don't check bags. Now we've made a commitment.
Let's say let's say you're at least me and you
don't check a bag. I live an hour from the airport.
Now my hangover is getting worse and worse. I'm more
and more exhausted. Now, even if I'm not waiting baggage
(35:27):
claim for a bag, I'm getting in a car and
I'm gonna ride drive an hour? Am I even okay
to drive? That's unsafe. Let's say I'm getting a cab
or an uber. Let's at least say I'm being responsible.
I have to sit in the back and listen to
Mohammed for an hour as you drive? What, Chris? What
am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Come on? Everybody knows who runs the freaking uber companies
and cab companies. For Pete's sake, you might as well
get in with the prayer rug. Everybody knows what I'm
talking about. Chris. It's fine anyway. I now have to
ride for an hour. There are weird smells. It it's
not worth it. I'm not trying to judge. Like I said,
(36:07):
I want to be clear about this. I'm not trying
to fund police. And you want to belly up to
the bar and have a martini shaking notts third, I
think that's totally acceptable, if you're gonna make that three five.
I don't understand it. I don't see how it's worth it. Chris,
am I wrong? Chris isn't something Even Chris agrees, he's
(36:30):
not some puritan. Chris will have some booze every now
and then. Corey am I wrong. Cory gets it. It's
not worth it. I don't understand the air travel, the
fascination with air travel and boozing. Maybe it's because I'm
a loner. Maybe it's because I'm a homebody. Maybe what Chris? What? What? Herees?
(36:53):
Everyone agrees. Now, let's discuss something, because there's this way
of thinking on the left that you're uninformed. Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a magnificent Monday, of a Marine Corps Birthday Monday, and
we're going to talk about a lot of things this hour.
Medal of Honor Monday's coming up just thirty seconds from now.
(00:31):
We're also going to get to the struggles right now
of middle class, working class people and the dangerous spot
that puts us in as a nation. Really for both sides,
both parties will do that. I am going to get
to some emails. There's all kinds of stuff I have
to get to. But you know what time it is.
(00:51):
It is Monday, start of the second hour on Monday.
And that means we honor a hero, we say his name,
we remember it for many. Maybe this is you. Maybe
this will be the first time you ever heard this thing.
Maybe this will be the first and only time you
ever heard about these deeds. When people go out and
(01:12):
earn a medal of honor, they write up what he did,
They write it up and everyone can read these and
I would encourage you to do so with family, at work,
in school, that if you're one of the wonderful teachers
who listens. Your students will eat this stuff up. Stop
political and research these things. But it is important to
(01:35):
remember our heroes and what they did, and it serves
to inspire future generations to become men like these. Now
I'm sure you already guessed it, but being as how
it's the Marine Corps birthday, we are going to honor
a marine here. Before we get to him, I just
wanted to explain that this takes place on Okinawa. For
(01:58):
World War two history buffs some people who've ever listened
to this show for any length of time, you'll already
know a lot or most of this. But the war
in the Pacific against the Japanese Empire was so unspeakably terrible.
It was unspeakably terrible for really two main reasons, the
first one being the environment where they fought. It was.
(02:21):
You know, it sounds tropical and nice, but you know
it's nice about the tropics. When you're in an air
conditioned hotel and somebody bringing you chicken strips by the pool,
you know it's not lovely when people were trying to
kill you, and there's everything from yellow fever to malaria
to crocodiles that can kill you. The environment was brutal,
(02:44):
brutally hot, that it was a horrible, horrible place to fight.
And I said there were two reasons. The second reason
was the Japanese, the Japanese Empire of World War two.
Better think it's lucky stars that Hitler and the Nazis
were busy doing unspeakable things all throughout Europe because the
Japanese Empire in World War Two was every bit as evil.
(03:07):
They just didn't get the public, the pub They were
a militaristic empire. They were all about torture and rape
and murder, and it was just what they did. It
was what they believed in. It was how they conducted
themselves during the war. And they also believed in dying
to the last man. They never ever ever surrendered in
(03:28):
mass It never happened. Oftentimes, when the Japanese would finally
lose an island, they would do so with ninety nine
percent casualties. You'd have a guy here or a guy there,
but they would all die. If they weren't killed in battle,
they'd kill themselves. They'd hold grenades to their head, they
would just it was awful in the Marines and the
(03:52):
army to give them credit. The army was very valiant
in the Pacific War. Fought their way from island to
island to island, and the idea was take enough islands,
working your way closer to Japan. You wanted to be
as close to Japan as possible so you could launch
(04:12):
more air raids into Japan, and so you would have
an appropriate staging area to finish off the invasion of Japan.
If God forbid, you had to invade the place which
brings us to Okinawa, after Ewo, Jima, after everything, really
the final stop pre Japan was Okinawa. The good news
(04:37):
is it's almost over. The bad news is the Japanese
knew it was almost over. This was there in their minds,
final chance to keep Americans from killing their families back home.
It's what they believed. They believed their families, their entire
nation was at stake, and they were going to fight
(04:57):
that way. And because this is nineteen forty five, they
had had an entire war against us to learn. It's
very easy to assume that you're the only side with brains,
You're the only side that learns you're just facing a
static enemy. He's almost a robot, really, but he's not
(05:17):
a robot. He learns what works and what doesn't work.
And what they learned was trying to stop America at
the beaches does not work. It never worked for them.
You're going to get some Americans on the beaches, but
you're not going to stop them from landing. It's not possible.
America had too many planes, too much naval gun power
(05:38):
that were just they could run you off the beaches
and they could land. But you can fight a defense
in depth. You find strategic defensive locations on the interior
of whatever island you're going to defend, and you turn
those into what amount to be underground fortresses, and there
(06:01):
you just kill Americans by the thousand. That was Okinawa,
a living hell like you cannot possibly imagine. And that
brings us to James Lewis. They born in East Saint Louis, Illinois.
Hey honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry in intrepidity at the
(06:30):
risk of his life, above and beyond the call of
duty as squad leader in sustained combat operations against Japanese forces.
On the first day, Corporal day rallied his squad in
the remnants of another unit and led them to a
critical position forward of the lines of Sugar Loaf Hill.
Soon thereafter, they came under an intense mortar in artillery
(06:52):
barrage that was quickly followed by a ferocious ground attack
by some forty Japanese soldiers. Despite the loss of one
half of his men, Corporal Day remained at the forefront,
shouting encouragement, hurling grenades, and directing deadly fire, thereby repelling
the determined enemy. Reinforced by six men, he led his
(07:15):
squad in repelling three fierce night attacks, but suffered five
additional marines killed and one wounded, whom he assisted the safety.
Upon hearing nearby calls for coorm and assistance, Corporal Day
braved enemy heavy enemy fire to escort four seriously wounded marines,
(07:37):
one at a time to safety. Corporal Day then manned
a light machine gun, assisted by a wounded marine, and
halted another night attack. In this ferocious action, his machine
gun was destroyed and he suffered multiple white phosphorus and
fragmentation wounds. He reorganized his defensive position and tim to
(08:00):
halt a fifth enemy attack. With the devastated. With devastating
small arms fire. On three separate occasions, Japanese soldiers closed
to within a few feet of his foxhole, but were
killed by Corporal Day. During the second day, the enemy
conducted numerous unsuccessful swarming attacks against his exposed position. When
(08:23):
the attacks momentarily subsided, over seventy enemy dead were counted
around his position. On the third day, a wounded and
exhausted Corporal Day repulsed the final repulse the enemy's final attack,
killing a dozen enemy soldiers at close range. Having yielded
(08:44):
no ground and with more than anemy one hundred enemy
dead around his position, Corporal Day preserved the lives of
his fellow Marines and made a significant contribution to the
success of the Okinawa campaign. Corporal Day inspired the efforts
of his outnumbered marines to defeat a much larger enemy force,
(09:05):
reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions
of the Marine Corps in the United States Naval Service.
Corporal Day thought he was going to die. He was
alone because every time he got help they would be killed.
(09:26):
He would roll the grenades down the hill. He didn't
want to shoot. Oftentimes, when he heard them coming at
him at night, he would roll the grenades down the
hills so as not to expose his exact location, listening
to the grenades blow up Japanese soldiers in front of him.
(09:51):
I just told you about the Japanese Empire. Corporal Day
was undoubtedly aware of what would happen should God forbid,
he be knocked out or wounded and the Japanese get
a hold of him alive. I will spare you the
details of what happened to marine after marine, soldier after
(10:13):
soldier in that unfortunate situation. But he would not have
died quickly. It would have been bad. And yet for
three days he sat up there murdering Japanese soldiers. That's amazing,
and you know what I think he deserves on this birthday.
(11:02):
Happy birthday, Marines, Happy birthday day, Happy birthday to all
of you. That is the kind of legacy left behind
by heroes greater than us. Speaking of heroes, you have
heard me discuss Macvsog in Vietnam multiple times, ridiculous bravery
(11:25):
over fifty percent dead casualty rates, the likes of which
really have never been seen, certainly the highest by a
mile in Vietnam. You didn't survive, You just didn't survive.
This is the guy who runs pure Talk, did two
tours with mac VSG. How could you have a company
(11:46):
that is so overwhelmingly patriotic? How's that possible? That's what
pure Talk is. It's patriotism. They hire Americans. No one
does that anymore. You know about them giving rescue dogs
to veterans with PTSD giving on American flags on Independence Day?
Does Verizon do that? At and T T Mobile my
(12:08):
cell phone company? Does you want to save some money
and give your money to a much better place? Pick
up your phone dial pound two five zero and say
Jesse Kelly. An American will get you switched over. During
the break pound two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, We'll
(12:29):
be back the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Reminding you you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So let's discuss some economic
things before we get to other emails and other parts
of the show and goofing off and things like that.
(12:51):
I do want to discuss economic things now, not in
big nerdy terms. It's not that your life, my life.
The things in this life. And so I got this email.
This is about the Trump shut or the Trump shut down,
the shutdown that is now coming to an end. Not
(13:11):
quite over yet, obviously, but coming to an end. And
here it is Jesse. The subject to this one is
where are my firings? Another empty threat slash promise from
the Trump administration. I was promised mass firings because of
the shutdown. How many people have been fired? Three? I'm
(13:31):
disgusted by the lack of spine. Make them feel pain.
Enough is enough? His name is Chris Okay. So I
also wanted large numbers of government employees fired. Yes, the
Trump administration said if you shut down the government, we
will fire large numbers of government employees. And no, that
(13:54):
did not happen. That's a very very fair criticism. But
I wanted to use this email as an opportunity to
explain something because I'm actually about to insult a couple
things that have been proposed economically by the White House.
So I needed to get something out of the way first.
You know that I don't wave palm poms. I don't
(14:16):
do it. You know that I'm more than willing to
insult really everybody in the GOP, happy to do it,
and have yelled about Trump before me. He does something
I disagree with and I always will and if you
don't like it, you can pounce in That's that's what
I believe in. But here's what I know. I know
that the mass importation of foreigners is destroying this country.
(14:42):
It is winning elections for open communists. It is the reason.
It's not the only reason for so many problems that
affect your life, but it is a big reason for
so many problems that affect your life. If you could
snap your fingers and deport fifty million foreigners, all our
problems would not just appear, but all of our problems
would get better, significantly better overnight. They would. It is
(15:05):
It's one of those rare things that solves not everything,
but goes a long way to solving everything. Magic pills
are rare. You deport fifty million foreigners, housing gets affordable
like that. Imagine when you're not competing with fifty million foreigners,
healthcare affordable like that. What do you think happens to tuition?
(15:26):
What do you think happens to crime? Cleanliness? But what
do you think happens to the Democrat Party? If you
deport fifty million foreigners? It's almost I don't want to
oversell it, but it's almost this this magic bullet that
does everything. Okay, So what's that have to do with
(15:47):
the government firings and whatnot? The Trump administration. Maybe you
remember the final year of his first term. It was
very hard on Trump. Why because Donald Trump fifteen days
to slow the spread. Donald Trump allowed himself to be
(16:07):
manipulated by very evil people into destroying the economy that
was going well, and I was very angry about it.
Vice versa. The Trump administration has gotten two million foreigners
out of the country in ten months. That's not twenty million.
(16:29):
I know it's not ten it's not the fifty we need.
Tell me another administration that has done that. And it's
not just that they have gotten two million foreigners out,
one point five of those of self deportations, but still out.
I don't care how you get out, just get out.
On top of that, they are obviously when you look
(16:51):
at the ice hirings, when you look at the various
things they're doing, they are building a deportation machine will
make what's already happened into the warm up act. They're
warming up. They're learning what works, what doesn't works, what
personnel they need. We've already heard, remember we discussed this
(17:12):
on the show. A huge leadership shakeup at ICE in
major ICE hubs. The Trump administration was not happy with
the pace of things. They started firing people. And yet,
what do you think, what do you think they're doing
things like this for it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Because you got over two hundred thousand applications in how
many of those are going to take and how quickly
can you get them on the street because you need
a lot of backup right now?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, you got it, We got it. Two hundred thousand applications. Now,
those people still have to be screened, still have to
be trained, so that'll take time too. I get that.
That was not me telling you that I am going
to sit here every day and wave Donald Trump's palm palms.
In fact, like I said, I'm just about to insult
a couple things that have come out of the White House.
(17:57):
I'll explain. However, as long as the Trump administration remains
committed to deporting as many foreigners in his four years
as possible, he is going to get more leeway from
me than otherwise than he would otherwise. I was probably
more critical of him in the first term than I
(18:19):
otherwise would have because of the COVID lockdowns while he's
deporting millions of foreigners. He's going to get more leeway
from me than ever before. That's not to say it's perfect.
It's not to say I didn't want to see fifty
one hundred thousand a million government employees fired. I wanted
it too. We didn't get it. It sucks. I'll give
(18:43):
him some leeway, and except when it comes to fifty
year mortgages. Next, you're listening to the Oracle. You love
this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic Monday. Member.
If you miss any part of the show, you can
(19:04):
email it Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So before
we get to those emails and the airports and all
kinds of things, Jimmy Kimmel, his wife leaving her family,
before we get to any of that other stuff, well,
I'll just read this something we've read before on the show.
(19:24):
I want to read it again. Fifteen million more adults
under the age of thirty five are living with their
parents compared to a decade ago. Per that's per Fortune magazine.
Fifteen million. Now I could sit here and I could
read stats like that for the next hour and a
(19:47):
half of the show. I could, because the stats are well,
they all point to the same thing. Middle class people
are being pushed down into the lower classes, and lower
class people flat out aren't making it. Younger people are
not finding younger Americans. I should say, if you're from Somalia,
you're good. But younger Americans are not finding jobs. They
(20:12):
are a graduating college, many of them in debt, and
they cannot find a good job to even go live
on their own, let alone start paying off the debt.
And all the statistics point to this fact. Younger people today,
they do not have the same opportunities older generations did.
(20:34):
America for younger people today is less affordable than their
parents had, than their grandparents had, than their great grandparents had.
That's just simply a fact. It is. Can't find a house,
can't find this now. This is a bad obviously a
terrible situation, and it's terrible for a laundry list of reasons.
(20:57):
One of those reasons may be, well, your life is
worse and you're you're finding goals you had unachievable. Well,
when I'm twenty eight years old, I want to own
a home and have a wife and a dozen kids,
and then okay, so I understand that, but it's also
terrible for this reason. When life becomes unaffordable, not just
(21:19):
houses either, car insurance, home insurance, just health assurance. When
life becomes unaffordable, what will inevitably happen is people inside
the government will promise to hand you money in one
way or another to make it better. They will. Now,
(21:43):
the history of this is not often well known. You
know it, but Normanis don't know it. Normis don't understand
how COVID and the massive printing of money caused all
the inflation that made life unaffordable. Normalis don't know that.
Normanis don't understand how much more affordable health insurance was
(22:03):
before Obamacare. Normanies don't know that. You know what Normies know.
They can't afford it. Can't afford a house, can't afford
this feeling, the squeeze. And of course Democrats, who really
authored so many of these things, most definitely the healthcare one.
Democrats are aware you can't afford it. That's why they
(22:24):
tried to make the whole shutdown thing about health insurance. Healthcare.
Chuck Schumer when he was whining about it.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Democrats have been fighting to get the Senate to address
the healthcare crisis. This bill does nothing to ensure that
that crisis is addressed. I am voting no, and I
will keep fighting.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Now. I need you to walk with me with something.
And this might be a painful walk, all right, it
might be, but just walk with me. We have the
midterm elections coming up in twenty twenty eight. We have
a big presidential election. If you had a handicap it
you'd say JD. Van's versus Gavin Newsom doesn't matter. Big
(23:05):
presidential election coming up. Now, I'm not talking about you,
nor am I concerned about you. You're going to be fine.
But you're enormy. You're one of these weird independents. You
voted for Obama and then Trump, and then Biden and
then Trump again. You're just kind of all over the place.
You're just a low info normy Democrats are out there
(23:32):
loudly campaigning on the cost of health insurance that stops
stops up. Don't start screaming at me and screaming at
the radio. But they're the ones who cast it with Obamacare.
I know, I know, we're not talking about you. You're informed.
I'm talking to low infos. Democrats are running on the
cost of health insurance. The cost we just had to
(23:54):
renew our health insurance here at iHeart. It's just unbelievable,
how crappy the insurance is now for what you have
to pay for, It's unbelievable, horrible. And Democrats their message
is you're paying too much for health insurance. You're paying
too much for health insurance. You're paying too much for
health insurance. Do you think that is going to have
(24:16):
a receptive audience. I'm not worried about you with the Normies.
Is that Is that message going to land well with Normies?
Of course it will. So here's where we end up
in a serious pickle. How do you answer that? What's
(24:38):
your political answer for that? If you don't want Democrats
to take the House, the Senate, and the White House
in twenty twenty eight, this is where Republicans will fall
into traps. They will fall into what I would probably
classify as a populist trap. They will We'll try to
(25:01):
hand out different stuff, try to control and manipulate the
market in different ways, not the same ways, so we
can claim superiority, but Trump over the weekend floated a
two thousand dollars dividend from tariffs for normal Americans. Of course,
he even put in there excluding the wealthy, not including
(25:24):
high income people. What they've already attempted. Scott Pisent and
others attempted to try to walk it back. But don't
pay me two thousand dollars of my own money. This
is why you get things like Josh Holly, we played
(25:45):
it for you before. When he's talking about Amazon.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Their CEO is getting paid. Let me make sure I
get this right. In twenty twenty four, Amazon's president earned
forty point one million dollars in total compensation forty point one.
The previous year he'd earned merely twenty nine point two.
I mean, that's that's an unbelievable that's great work. If
you can get it, that's an unbelievable raise. Only problem is,
(26:11):
according to their own financial disclosures, Amazon's average worker average
employee worldwide is making thirty seven thousand, one hundred and
eighty one dollars thirty seven thousand, one hundred and eighty
one dollars, So that's a c suite to employee ratio
of one thousand and seventy eight to one.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That kind of wealth envy crap is going to have
a receptive audience. But that's not the solution. Democrats don't
have good solutions. They're going to make everything worse. But
handing people more stimmy checks makes everything worse. Whining about
the pay of the CEO and Amazon just creates more
(26:53):
wealth envy and makes everything worse. Populism can be great
at times, and it can be completely disastrous at times.
Headline Trump administration considering fifty year mortgages. This is, of course,
to get the average monthly cost down. Do you have
any idea what you would pay for a two hundred
(27:16):
thousand dollars house in the end, after you got done
paying off a fifty year mortgage. I won't, even in
the interest of making sure a Jewish producer Chris doesn't
stroke out on the air, I'm not going to elaborate
on what you would pay, but it would be you
(27:37):
don't want to know. I'll just put it to you
that way, you don't want to know. These aren't solutions.
These are temporary government throwing the starving peasants a loaf
of bread solutions. They don't tackle the fundamental problem until
government spending and money printing as is addressed, these problems consist. They'll, they'll,
(28:03):
they'll go on forever. Now again, I hate to beat
a dead horse, but deporting fifty million foreigners will. She'll
sure go a long way to solving a lot of this,
including health insurance. When you don't have to keep paying
for the health insurance of illegals who flood the emergency room,
that will certainly help, But that's another story entirely. Until then,
(28:24):
you might want to grab yourself a Berna launcher to
make sure you can at least fight one off when
he tries to stab you in the parking lot. Berna
is the self defense solution for everyone. If you are
like me and you already know I concealed carry, I
want a non lethal option. I don't want to kill
the homeless guy who's pooping on the hood of my
(28:47):
car when I leave the studio at night. You maybe
don't have a concealed carry option. Berna is legal for
everybody shoots these pepper balls or tear gas. Did you
know this? You knew something crazy? You know you don't
even necessarily have to hit him with it. Been situations
where you can just shoot the ground in front of them,
(29:08):
and this pepper ball cloud just freaking destroys them. They live,
You live more importantly and you don't get arrested. B
y Rna Berna dot com slash Jesse Berner dot com
slash Jesse. We'll be back, miss something. There's a podcast
(29:31):
getting on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday.
You can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
I'm just in such a good mood today, I can't
imagine what it is. Ah, that's probably it, don't you think, Chris,
(30:22):
It's probably it. Be safe out there tonight, Marines, all right?
And in fact, I hate to even do this because
you know, you know, I don't want to be the
fun police. And I certainly am not one who's ever, ever,
ever going to judge you for any mistakes you make,
(30:43):
anyones you've made in the past, anyonees you're going to
make tonight, Marines. I'm not going to judge you. I
am just going to offer a little bit of advice
from time to time about this or that. You can
take it, you can leave it. But I saw this
started when I want to, I wanted to address it.
It's from the New York Posts. Kind of a weird
(31:04):
thing to even write, but I got it. The best
and worst airports for getting tipsy during travel are revealed. Okay,
this is the New York Post telling you where to
get hammered which airport? Now let's talk. And again, this
(31:25):
is a note. This is a judgment for his zone.
I'm the guy. I'm the guy who used to sit
in the dark when I got back from Iraq with
the blinds closed and the lights out, getting drunk by
myself in the living room, sitting in a chair in
the middle of the living room. I'm the guy who
used to get road beers on the way home. I'm
(31:46):
not judging you at all, not at all. I'm this
is just an assessment of what is worth it and
what is not. Let me ask you something. If you
have a history of boozing it up, how many what
percentage would you put on it? What percentage of the
(32:07):
time is it worth it? And by the way, I'm
not gonna say again, I'm not fun policing. I'm not
gonna say it's never worth it. You're at a concert,
you're having an extra glass of wine with your wife.
I'm not saying that it's never been fun. Not what
I'm saying. Would you at least agree with me that,
(32:28):
especially as you get older, those percentages go down. The
juice may be not worth the squeeze. You with me? Still, Okay,
you know what that percentage falls to when you are
traveling by air zero the percentage falls to zero. I
(32:49):
do not understand this concept. This is a concept I
actually rejected back in my boozing days when I was
super young. I came to this realization. Okay, so you're
gonna go into the airport bar, Applebee's or Chili's or something.
You're going to crush ten beers at Chili's before you
(33:12):
get on a flight to Chicago. Now that you're all
lubed up from ten beers at Chili's, what are things
you would normally do? Let's say you were at the house.
I will tell you what I will be doing tonight
when I get home. I'm gonna watch a Marine Corps
documentary about Pelulu. Someone just told me there's one on Netflix.
I'm watching it tonight. That might be something you do
(33:35):
after ten beers. Maybe you call up a friend. Hey,
come watch baseball? Baseball seasons ever? Come watch football tonight?
It's Monday night football. I know that. Hey, that might
be something you do. Maybe you turn on music, play
video games, maybe you text an X bad idea. There
are a variety of things you can do at home.
(33:57):
None of those options are available to you when you're traveling.
You're going to get on an airplane in a gigantic
steel tube with annoying, smelly strangers. What are you planning
on doing? Are you going to keep drinking? I've had
(34:17):
people yell at me, well just keep drinking. Okay, So
you're what You're going to pass out and vomit on
the fight that's the plane? Oh no, no, I'll stop. Okay.
So on top of flying being super miserable, you're going
to add a midflight hangover in there. You know what
those ten beers need to do. They have to come out.
(34:41):
Have you used the bathroom in an airplane before? Have
you gone? Do you feel like going ten times in there?
I don't understand the appeal. Oh oh, and then when
you get where you're going, what's waiting for you? Are
you walking right off the airplane and into your living room. No,
maybe you're one of these savages who checks a bag.
(35:03):
I wouldn't know. I refuse to do such a thing.
The Kellys don't check bags. Now we've made a commitment.
Let's say let's say you're at least me and you
don't check a bag. I live an hour from the airport.
Now my hangover is getting worse and worse. I'm more
and more exhausted. Now, even if I'm not waiting baggage
(35:27):
claim for a bag, I'm getting in a car and
I'm gonna ride drive an hour? Am I even okay
to drive? That's unsafe. Let's say I'm getting a cab
or an uber. Let's at least say I'm being responsible.
I have to sit in the back and listen to
Mohammed for an hour as you drive? What, Chris? What
am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Come on? Everybody knows who runs the freaking uber companies
and cab companies. For Pete's sake, you might as well
get in with the prayer rug. Everybody knows what I'm
talking about. Chris. It's fine anyway. I now have to
ride for an hour. There are weird smells. It it's
not worth it. I'm not trying to judge. Like I said,
(36:07):
I want to be clear about this. I'm not trying
to fund police. And you want to belly up to
the bar and have a martini shaking notts third, I
think that's totally acceptable, if you're gonna make that three five.
I don't understand it. I don't see how it's worth it. Chris,
am I wrong? Chris isn't something Even Chris agrees, he's
(36:30):
not some puritan. Chris will have some booze every now
and then. Corey am I wrong. Cory gets it. It's
not worth it. I don't understand the air travel, the
fascination with air travel and boozing. Maybe it's because I'm
a loner. Maybe it's because I'm a homebody. Maybe what Chris? What? What? Herees?
(36:53):
Everyone agrees. Now, let's discuss something, because there's this way
of thinking on the left that you're uninformed. Hang on,
