Speaker 1 (00:02):
The thing about the government shut down, nobody's talking about.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We will talk about it tonight.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
We have Rayp's finally charged with the crime.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Julie Kelly joins us.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Now we have all that, including a lost f thirty five,
so much more coming up.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
And I'm right.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know how certain memories pop up from your childhood
and sometimes you can't explain why.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That ever happened to you. Yeah, of course you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Remember big events, great ones, traumatic ones. Oh my cat
got run over by a car. I learned how to
ride a bike. You're going to remember certain things from
your childhood. But sometimes weird memories stay in your head.
Don't worry, I'm getting to politics. I'm going somewhere with this,
you know, weird memory that stays in my head. I
remember it like it was yesterday. We were living in Ohio.

(00:55):
I was young, I would guess nine eight nine, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I was young.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
On the school bus out in front of my house.
We live kind of out in the country in Ohio.
Get on the school bus and we're on this busy road.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's busy road. Cars zoom and buy all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
And I look over and there's something in the road,
some kind of road kill. I think of some kind
of My memory is a little fuzzy on what it was.
But there was something in the road, and there were
two squirrels in the middle of the road, this busy
road war on cars zooming buy. No one's coming by
because the school bus has stopped.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
We're talking fifty miles an hour. Cars are zoom and buy,
and these two squirrels in the middle of the road
are fighting with each other over who gets claim to
whatever this road kills stuff. And that's where who knows
whatever it was they were trying to eat. So these
two squirrels fighting with each other, No, that's mine, and no.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's mine, in the middle of this busy highway. And
I still remember this when I was a child.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Looking and thinking to myself, then those squirrels are gonna die.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
That's exactly how I.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Think right now when I look at this budget situation
that everybody's talking about right now, the big budget fight.
Do we do a continuing resolution? Do we fund it
for thirty days? Do we fund it to the end
of the year. Here's Kevin McCarthy out there saying nobody
wants to shut down.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
It's a good thing. I love a challenge. Every day.
It's going to be a challenge. We got a long week.
We're not September thirty eighth yet.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
But the one thing I'll tell everybody, I've never seen
anybody win a shut down.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
You only put the power in the hands of the administration.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
If you want to secure the border, pass homeland, do
you want to make America strong and security.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Passed the DoD APPROPX bill.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
If you're not willing to pass appropriation bills, then you're
not willing to pass a continuing resolution, allow you to pass.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
The rest appropriation bills, and you don't want an omnibus.
I don't quite know what you want. So I mean,
we just have to get together, figure it out, and
move forward.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
So that's Kevin McCarthy negotiating in the media is what
they call that. Obviously, he could have these conversations and
has had these conversations behind closed doors. That's him little
bomb out there at the people who are kind of
opposing him. McCarthy, the establishment type. He just wants to
sign it all and just keep going. Who's hem throwing
a bomb at? Well, he's throwing that bomb at somebody

(03:12):
like Our good friend Chip Roy, who came on this show,
has come on the show many times and talks about
things that he wants.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
And what the question is going to be on September
thirtieth is are we going to rubber stamp a continuing
resolution that is a bill that will keep government funded
at last year's levels? Are we going to maintain that
status quo? If we do, then we're maintaining the funding
and the priorities of the Biden administration and at the high,

(03:40):
the grossly high level from last December. Our position is
that we should not do that. We should limit those
funds and or get massive policy changes, starting first with
the border and ensuring that we actually change what's happening
at the border with respect to the assault on Texas
and endanger our country, but also dealing with things like

(04:03):
the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense. And it's woke,
miss and Franklin. IM's gonna be blunt, Jesse. I'm saying
to my Republican leadership, pick a damn fight. Name one thing,
one thing you're proud of your Republican majority's doing in
the last thirty years. In my lifetime, I can't remember
a damn thing that Republican leadership and Republican majorities have

(04:27):
ever given the American people nothing. They talk about welfare reform,
they talk about tax cuts for you know, corporations. Come on, like,
what if they stood up and fought.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
For you or me? Okay, and that's what we need
to do. Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Obviously I follow more on the side of Chip. He
wants some cuts, he wants some adjustments made. We got
to cut this, we got to get that, let's get
a win at the border. So you got Kevin, he
just wants to sign everything.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Chip.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
He wants some real cuts, he wants some policy wins
for you and me. He got Jim Jordan kind of
making a prediction out there, remember Gym's and leadership well,
continuing resolution.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
So I think the smart move, frankly, is to execute
the play that we put in motion back during the
dead ceialing agreement and says, let's pass the CR to
early next year, sometime in March, not one until December,
like March first, say, because on January first, if we're
in a continuing resolution, there's an automatic across the board
one percent cut that kicks in. Maybe one of the
few times who've actually totally, you know, reduced discretionary spending

(05:28):
in this capital.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I would be for that.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Here's a CR to march, and now we can fight
for the policies that we think makes sense. Things we
want to do different with your tax dollars at the
FBI as an example, things we want to do with
the Department of Homeland Security and say you can't use
any money to set up a disinformation Governance Board and
number of policy.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Writers that get attached.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
If it's some short term CR, then I put on
one good policy and send it to the Senate and
darrem to not accept that.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Okay, Kevin wants to keep going, Chip wants some big cut.
Sounds like Jim kind of wants to see our it
till March. Those are all interesting positions, and I don't
know where you fall on any of those positions.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's very interesting except for this one little fact.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
We're thirty three trillion dollars in debt. Why are we
negotiating any of this.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Thirty three trillion dollars in debt. I'm going to play
this for you again. I know you already saw it
on the show. Maybe because I'm upset you're not gonna
listen to me. Peter Shiff is the man who accurately
predicted the two thousand and eight financial disaster that hit

(06:43):
this country. Do you remember what Peter Shift came on
this show and said. And as you watch Peter Shiff,
as you watch him say again what you've already seen
him say on this show, I want you to keep
in the back of your mind that Republicans and Democrats
as we speak, as you're watching this show, they are

(07:04):
currently all meeting in this big gaggle in DC to
discuss where these billions go and those billions, hundreds of
billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Hey, who should get this? More for them and more
for them? Well, we can't afford to cut one.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Percent there, even eleven percent, well, a little percent there.
I want you to watch Peter Shiff and keep in
mind they're all discussing how to spend billions as we speak.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
All these things that we've spent money on over the years,
over the decades we've borrowed. We haven't collected enough taxes
from Americans to pay for the spending, and so we've
built this thirty three trillion dollar debt mountain, and that's
just the tip of the mountain, because there's a lot
of debt that is unfunded that we still are obligated

(07:51):
to pay. The US government has co signed a lot
of liabilities, and when you add that all together, you're
talking about hundreds of trillions of dollars. It is completely unpayable.
And historically the way governments get out of the situation
is through inflation. They just print away the value of
their liabilities, but they destroy everybody's savings and everybody's you know,

(08:13):
paper assets and their wages in the process.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I just want to make sure that this is broken
down in a way we can all understand. I can understand,
you can understand. So I'm going to explain it to
you this way with an analogy, even a little different
than the two squirrels analogy. I want you to imagine this.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
There's you and there's me, and we are sitting in
a life.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Raft in the middle of the ocean, and we're looking down.
I just read this horrific World War two story tomorrow
about a racket that it doesn't matter, but that I
remember the sailors that are all looking down and they're
seeing these huge sharks twelve fifteen sixteen foot sharks swimming
underneath them, and so we know that that's in the
water underneath us. You me life raft, and the life

(08:58):
raft has all these in the middle of it, so
many bricks that it's starting to break the life raft.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It's starting to come apart.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Holes are popping in the life raft and the water's
coming in. And I know, and you know, if that
life raft goes down, we are all going to die.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
You and me are going to die.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
And instead of sitting there in the life raft with
an emergency meeting discussing just how many bricks we're going
to throw off the lifecraft, both parties as we speak,
are sitting there in Washington, DC discussing just how many
more bricks we should load into the life raft.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's what I think.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
About right now when I think about this budget fight
and continuing resolution and should we cut one percent here, Oh,
millions may die five percent there. There is a fiscal
avalanche of hell and misery coming for this nation because
of our debt and our unfunded liabilities. You cannot survive

(09:57):
as a nation with your debt this far exceeding your GDP.
It has never been done in the history of mankind.
And when that fiscal disaster finally gets here, you me,
your kids, their kids, their kids after them will have
a drastically reduced standard of.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Living than we have ever known.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
And the avalanche is coming down the mountain and we're
sitting there playing solitaire at the bottom. What an un
serious country, What an un serious government, What an unseerious
congress we have? These people are sitting around dividing up
money as if we have some.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Lunacy.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
You know, I think back about those squirrels, me sitting
there as a kid, thinking, man, those squirrels, it's so stupid.
Squirrels are gonna get mowed down. Those squirrels are just
like us, we human beings, not even a little bit
smarter than the squirrel. Because that's exactly what we're doing
here in this country. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

(10:59):
but I am I'm right. We have f thirty five talk,
ray EPs talk. Julie Kelly's going to join us. We
have so many great things tonight. Before we get to
any of those things, that seems like a pretty good
transition into please buy some precious metals.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Please. These people are going to kill us. They are.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's not just where we're at, it's where we're going.
They're not even attempting to change directions. Get some gold
or silver coins delivered to your front door, so when
these people destroy our financial system, you will have some
value so you and your family can stay afloat. Get
it in your IRA four one K two because don't

(11:39):
think the stock market's going to.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Be exempt from that. Where do you begin, how do
you even begin to do all that stuff?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
You make a phone call Oxford Gold Group, totally laid back.
These are my people. I send my family there, I
send my own dad there, friends, you name it. This
is my only stop for gold. And right now I'm
doing what the nation of China is doing, and I'm
buying it up because I see a storm coming. Eight

(12:05):
three N five Gold. Tell him Jesse told you to call.
They'll take care of you. I promise, all right, eight
three nine Gold.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
We'll be beat.

Speaker 8 (12:25):
I will say, you're quite right. There are many more
prosecutions with respect to the blocking of the of the
abortion centers, but that is generally because they are those
actions are taken with photography at the time during the daylight,
and seeing the person who did it is quite easy.

(12:48):
Those who are attacking the pregnancy resources centers, which is
a hard thing to do, are doing this at night
in the dark. We have put full resources on this.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I'd almost forgotten Merrick Garland's excuse for while the pro
lifers are getting arrested and none of these people firebombing
and the abortion or the pro life clinics are well
because it's nighttime. I say that because three pro lifers
were just convicted of blocking an abortion clinic. Joining me
now she has so much to catch us up on.
I almost feel bad for her. Julie Kelly, Julie Kelly,

(13:25):
I don't even need to introduce her anymore on the show.
You do need to go subscribe to her substack though,
so you can have all the juicy goodies.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's called declassified.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Highly recommend you go subscribe, Okay, Julie, these three pro lifers,
it is my understanding and the interest of fairness that
they were actually physically blocking the entrance on purpose.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Do I have that right?

Speaker 9 (13:47):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (13:47):
You do?

Speaker 11 (13:48):
And I just have to say, listening to Merrik Garland,
wasn't that the same excuse we heard about why the
Antifa rioters who are assaulting the Portland the Federal Courthouse
in Portland for over one hundred nights. Why they couldn't
figure out who those guys were because it was at
night time and they couldn't identify who they were.

Speaker 9 (14:08):
I mean, it's just absurd on space.

Speaker 11 (14:10):
So yes, apparently, and this goes back to an incident
in October of twenty twenty, the blackade of an abortion
clinic in Washington, DC. So I believe that the charges
initially were dropped or the prosecutor at the time decided
not to pursue charges.

Speaker 9 (14:27):
But this is the revitalization.

Speaker 11 (14:29):
Of this Space Act that criminalizes really any protest or
attempt to blackade access to abortion clinics. And now I
think we have at least eight individuals in this case
who have been convicted by a DC jury. There are
a number more who have been convicted and are facing charges.
So this is Merrick Garland, Matthew Graves, US attorney for

(14:52):
the District of Columbia, and Kristen Clark, the head of
the Civil Division. This is their way of rounding up
pro life activists and of course sending a message to
all jurisdictions across the country that if you blackaded or
they can make up any story, any evidence that you
block hated it or conspired to black hate it, which
was the situation here, you will face up to eleven

(15:14):
years in prison. These individuals, including two women in their seventies,
were immediately taken into custody at the orders of Clinton
appointed Judge Colleen Kollarka Telly. So these people are now
writing in a DC gulag waiting to be sentenced, where
again they could face up to eleven years in prison.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
We're going to send those two grandmas to federal prison
for eleven years for sitting.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
In front of an abortion. Good freaking grief. You know what.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
I don't even have time to go into this because, Julie,
we have so much. I'm sorry, We've got to move
on because I just saw three people in Michigan. Three
people were acquitted on these charges about all this fed
napping stuff with Gretchen Whitber. Julie, could you explain why
these evil, dastardly tears rists would be acquitted from this
horrible crime.

Speaker 11 (16:03):
You know, Jesse, it is a good illustration of what
happens when these high level trials happen outside the Beltway.
So now we have three more men who were exonerated
found not guilty for their alleged involvement in the Whitmer
fetnapping hoax, which as we know, involved dozens of FBI
and FOURNS undercover agents, supervising agents, probably all the way

(16:23):
up to FBI Director Christopher Ray. Those three men were
quitted on all charges. Add to that two men who
were acquitted on federal charges in April of twenty twenty two,
two other men got a hung jury thanks to Wonder
who refused to acquit Barycroft Junior and Adam Fox. DOJ
retried them in August of twenty twenty two, and again

(16:45):
thanks to DOJ getting their way with a very biased
federal judge who recognized the consequences of more acquittals. In
that case, those two men were convicted sentenced to nineteen
and twenty two years in prison. Both of those matters
are up now on appeal. This is a huge defeat
though Jesse. No matter how Dana Nessel, the Attorney General

(17:06):
from Michigan, and Gretcha Whitmer, who almost was kidnapped and
killed by the guy who lived in the vacuum the
basement of the vacuum repair shop and a Green reperends
strip mall right. Half of the defendants who went to
trial were acquitted, two more were almost acquitted. Massive defeat
for Department of Justice and government state government that runs

(17:28):
oh about ninety to ninety five percent conviction rate.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Why were they actually convicted, Julie or not?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
I'm sorry? Why were they acquitted? Why were they acquitted?

Speaker 11 (17:40):
Well, what was amazing in the state trial, Jesse is
that Attorney General Dana Nessel and the judge agreed to
prevent defense attorneys from bringing forth this FBI and trapment defense.
They could not raise entrapment before the case went to
the jury. Last week, the judge again admonished jurors to
say and treatment is a judgment made by the court,

(18:03):
not by the jury, So they weren't even allowed to
consider entreatment, which is different than what happened in the
federal trial. The entire trial was based on FBI and treatment.
So even though the judge and Attorney General Dana Nessel
wanted to prevent this jury from considering and treatment, they
obviously did because there was no other case except for

(18:23):
how the FBI put this group together. Two FBI agents,
the key handling agents in the case testified in this trial.
They obviously were unconvincing. One of them was caught lying
on the stand doctoring evidence against one of the defendants
and was called out by defense attorneys. So this case
not just imploded on the weight of what the FBI did,

(18:44):
but then the doctoring of evidence and false testimony given
by one of these FBI agents. So this is a
real exoneration for all of the defendants, all the targets
in this case. Again, the situation in the matters not over,
since these two convictions, Berry Croft Junior and Adam Fox

(19:05):
are now pending before a Michigan and Pella court.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Julie, very rarely do I see a story out of
this DOJ that actually makes me laugh, But this one
today got me a real audible snicker when I saw
Ray Epps was being charged with a crime, a crime singular,
some little slap on the wrist for the guy who's
on videotape encouraging people to go into the capitol. Julie,
it seems so obvious, at least to me, that this

(19:31):
is a gigantic middle finger to the American people. They
want you mad, They want to rub it in your
face that there are two different standards.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
They absolutely do. Jesse.

Speaker 11 (19:40):
It's such a good point, and Merrick Garland tomorrow is
going to try to pretend that his Justice Department, you know,
that justice is blind, and that he's going after people
like Hunter Biden and others equally.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
We know that's not the case, but they are. They're gratified.

Speaker 11 (19:55):
They love shoving this in the face of the American
people because they know, ultimately there's.

Speaker 9 (20:00):
Nothing that we can do about it. I did a
quick search as soon as the Ray Apps.

Speaker 11 (20:05):
It's called an information, so felonies are under a criminal indictment.
Information deals with misdemeanors. They're roughly fifteen or sixteen informations
out of a caseload of eleven hundred defendants accounting that
has one count in an information. Most of those single
counts Jesse are for parading in the Capitol. There's only
one defendant I found who has a single count in

(20:28):
an information similar to Ray Apps. And guess what he
was with the Proud Boys on January fifth and sixth.
He was running in that first breach group where Ray
Apps was. By the way, he could be an FBI
informant because as we know, there were at least fifteen
FBI informants in the Proud Boys' case. So the fact
that there's only one other individual tied to the Proud

(20:51):
Boys who has the same charge at as ray Apps,
does little or nothing to convince us that Raypps was
not acting and some behalf on for the government or
a political interest.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Julie, let's move on to this Jack Smith character.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
You have a piece up, great piece on your sub
stack called Jack Smith's real life boogeyman.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 11 (21:16):
I mean, I write in there, I wonder if Jack
Smith Checkslunder his bed every night to see if there's
a big guy, you know, with an oversized blue suit
and a long red's high hiding there because he's absolutely
terrified of Donald Trump, claiming in this proposed gag order,
of course, that his social media tweets on truth social
somehow endanger the lives of prosecutors, including himself. By the

(21:39):
way DC judges that they're poisoning the jury system. The
perspective jury pool in DC was even more alarming. Jesse,
and I cover this extensively is the non disclosure order
that he got in the Twitter lawsuit where he claimed
initially that Donald Trump would flee the country if he
found out about the Twitter search warrant, and further, if

(22:00):
he did that, he would provoke violence in the streets.
This is a sort of ridiculous, outlandish, hyperbolic in many
cases false accusations made by Jacksmith. So I just I
detail a few of them in my recent piece, but
trust me there will be more to come.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Looking forward to it. Julie, thank you so much. I
appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (22:22):
Thanks Jessie, thanks for having me on.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
All right.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
An F thirty five costs like one hundred million dollars.
It's expensive. That's an expensive piece of equipment, one hundred
million dollars. The military for a while, like twelve hours,
lost one yesterday. Eventually they found it in some poor
SAPs field, just a bunch of debris.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
How exactly does something like that happen?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Let's talk to a couple of military guys about that next.
Before we talk to them about that, let me talk
to you about why you're stuck in your time share.
You know why you're stuff your timeshare. You want to out,
but you're stuck in it. You know why you're stuck,
but it's not your fault. Hopefully that makes you feel better.
You're stuck because they are a bunch of con artists.
These timeshare companies do this to everybody. They get you in,

(23:11):
They suck you in. You sign up, hopefully you did
get some enjoyment out of it, and they know for
a fact eventually people are kind of done with it
and you move on, whether either you're sick of it,
kids grew up, moved away, and you try to get out,
and then you call and they say no, sorry, you're
not allowed out.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
You should have read the contract.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
They always tell you that, sorry to the contract. They'll
tell you where in the contract too, and you'll read
it and you'll think, oh, dang, I'm stuck forever. But
you're not lone. Start Transfer will get you out of
your time share. They will get you out legally and permanently.
They're so confident in their skills in this regard they
put it in writing. They even give you a time frame. Hey,

(23:52):
we're gonna get you out by this time. Eighteen thousand
timeshare owners are legally and permanently free of their timeshare
thanks to and Start Transfer. All you have to do
is call them eight four four three one zero two
six four six. That's your one stop shop for freedom
on one phone call from Freedom eight four to four

(24:12):
to three one zero two six four six, We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Let me ask you about the F thirty five.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
How does the US military lose a one hundred million
dollar plane.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
That will be something that they will investigate the bleed?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Me hm, They're gonna investigate it. I can't wait for
this investigation.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Seems like only.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yesterday they were investigating who drone striked ten innocent people
in Afghanistan, And once that investigation was over, they found nothing.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
And nobody was responsible.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
So I look forward to another one of those joining
me now my friends Kurch Schlichter, retired Army colonel of
course town Hall columnists, and Jim Hansen, Army Special Forces
and president of World strat Solutions. Okay, Kurt, I hate
to pairt that talking head idiot on TV, but.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
How do you lose one hundred million dollar jet? Look?

Speaker 12 (25:11):
I think you're asking a wrong question. I think the
right question is what are the jets pronouns?

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Look?

Speaker 12 (25:21):
I just want to compare this. They seem less upset
about losing this hundred million dollar aircraft than if like
Private Snuffy, this places his nvg's out in the field, Jim.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
I immediately when I saw this, I immediately thought, Okay, this
is this just goes to show, as Kurt just alluded to,
this is a military that is has its priorities all
out of whack. But is there a simpler, easier, better
explanation than that. Please tell me there's a better explanation
than asking the public to call a hotline to locate
their missing F thirty five.

Speaker 10 (25:59):
I got admit though, I was hoping Bubba had it,
you know, and he had hauled it on with his
tractor into a down somewhere out in the middle of nowhere,
you know, and he was gonna like, I might know
where you're playing is. Now, the simple fact is they're
not training for war. They're not training the proper way,
and all of our processes, systems, and war fighting capabilities

(26:21):
have eroded and degraded to the point where now we
got to hope the Chinese economy collapses before they decide
to take us on.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Kurt, the Marine Corps issues this stand down order, and surprise, surprise,
in this distrustful society we have now, people are running
with every theory in the world, including theories like China
hacked r F thirty five and they're flying it around
like one of the little cars your mom bought you
for your birthday, which you would break very quickly after

(26:51):
you drove.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
It off of a ramp.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I don't think I buy into that exactly. But do
you put any credence on any of these internet conspiracy theories.

Speaker 12 (27:00):
Well, considering they all seem to be proven true. Look,
here's the problem. When you lose trust, you lose trust
and people are going to assume the worst about you.
I remember a time not so long ago when the
military was the most trusted institution in America, and the
generals and admirals took that trust, doused it and lighter fluid,

(27:23):
and sat on fire in the center of the Pentagon
as part of a pagan sacrifice to Gaia, the non
binary two spirit Earth mother. The fact is, these guys
have completely blown it. And what am I gonna do
tell the American people? No, no, no, these guys got it.

Speaker 9 (27:43):
Don't worry.

Speaker 12 (27:43):
There's a good explanation. No No, that's a bridge too far,
a reference that most of our modern military wouldn't get
by it.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Kurt, you were once one of these filthy officers. Why
do they suck so bad.

Speaker 13 (27:58):
Now, Well, because guys like me left, guys like me
wanted I look, I look like I was no hero
like Pete Boodha Jete.

Speaker 12 (28:10):
Okay, I'm no dnand Dick Blumenhal. But you know, I
grew up in a military where we were expected to
take care of our troops and accomplish the mission. And
if we didn't, uh, you know, you you you you
got unjobbed. Okay, you got fired and and and booted out.
And uh That's kind of the standard that I grew

(28:32):
up with. And I saw it payoff in our last
military victory, which was Desert Storm, where we took out
what thirty six divisions in one hundred hours.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
I you know, I I don't.

Speaker 12 (28:44):
I don't think this this present military could do anything
more than uh, you know, take out thirty six drag
queens at one hundred hours.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
And they probably wouldn't do that.

Speaker 12 (28:54):
That'd be called that'd be blue.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
On blue.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Jim. This was Joe Biden today speaking at the UN.

Speaker 14 (29:03):
Simply put the twenty first century, twenty first century results
are badly needed or needed to move us along. That
starts with the United Nations, starts right now. Any as
you have all our institutions and drive creative new partnerships.

(29:24):
Let me be clear, certain principles are in the national system.
Are sacrisan.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Jim? How many? How much of our military problems?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
How many of our military problems, I should say, enlisted
guy over here, are just a problem of leadership, not
just the president, admirals, generals. We just have a bunch
of morons in charge. Some have dementia, some do not.
But that's really the issue.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
One hundred.

Speaker 10 (29:51):
We lost all the warriors in the not too distant past.
You know, there was a point in time where they
decided that the military was social engineering lab and it
didn't matter who they put in charge as long as
they were going to follow that political guidance. And now
you've got people who are more concerned about pronouns and
pride parades than they are about war fighting. And it's

(30:15):
led us to a position now where we can't trust
them to take us forward. And the only way out
is we need to win an election, and we need
to uproot every piece of diversity, equity, inclusion, and the
rest of that queer agenda garbage and throw it right
out the window, burn it in the center of the

(30:35):
Pentagon like they did with the rest of the stuff,
Like Kurt said, burn the crappy stuff, not the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, speaking of that agenda, I want to wish happy
birthday to the Air Force.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
They had a birthday yesterday. I forgot to mention that
on the show.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Kurt Ukraine Russia. Let's switch gears a little bit here.
I can't seem to get accurate information on what's going
on there. I'm genuinely just a curious soul. I'm not
that vested interest wise, and i just want to know
what's it going, how's it going, who's winning, who's losing? Well,
what's happening over there in that part of the world.

Speaker 12 (31:09):
Good, good lord, how the hell would I know? Look,
we're not getting a good information about this. We heard
there was a giant offensive going on. That's sort of
like faded away. The fact is there were three ways
you three or four ways you could do it. Pull
out completely, you know, force them to negotiate, give them
everything they want, or create a meat grinder that kills

(31:30):
a bunch of people and waste a bunch of our money.
That's the worst option. So naturally, that's the one that
the American foreign policy establishment has embraced. It's a disaster.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yes, yeah, what a shock.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, finally, gym in Afghanistan, we just had an American
detained with seventeen others for the horrific crime of preaching Christianity. Look, okay,
Afghanistan's a dump. The Taliban suck. We all know that.
But maybe I'm naive. I remember growing up in a
country where countries feared capturing Americans. Now it appears this

(32:03):
is something that happens every other day. Just take our
people whenever you want, It's fine.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Weird.

Speaker 10 (32:10):
Did Joe Biden just stack six billion dollars worth of
currency on an unmarked plane and fly that over to
the Mullas in Iran for the five Americans they were holding,
and he gave them five or Anian terrorists out of
our prisons. I can't imagine what that did to convince
other nations that maybe it's a profitable business, since a

(32:30):
will pay you and be nobody scared of us. We
have become an international laughing stock. And you know, it's
not just Joe Biden. It's been going on for a while.
Trump slowed it down. But we need to make sure
that the world fears us, or we're gonna end up
fighting things we never should be.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
HA had to fight. Thank you, boys, I appreciate it.
Come back soon.

Speaker 10 (32:55):
Well anytime.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
We're gonna some investigative journalism. No, not for me, My
goodness from someone else. Next, before we get to that,
I want to wish a happy birthday to somebody. You
see my friend's seatan he's the one who runs Chalk
and he as a brand new baby boy. How serious
is seating about the old testosterone thing?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
You tried to name the kid Hannibal. I'm not even
making that up.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I just talked to him on the phone about an
hour ago. You see testosterone as everything for men in
this country, and we have to do it the right way.
Because of the estrogens in our water, in the plastics
we frigaking shower in them, our testosterone levels are dropping.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
We must increase them.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
We need more testosterone now than we've ever had, not less,
and right now we.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Have half of what we used to have.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Get yourself on a male vitality stack from Chalk Male
Vitality Stack. Twenty percent increase in your testosterone in ninety days.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
My goodness.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
The difference in just how you'll feel, Ladies, you're not
left out.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Don't worry.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Female Vitality Stack for you, get your balance, gets you
exactly where you need to be. Are you ready to
be full of pep and energy at two or three
in the afternoon?

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Look at me right now, it's nighttime. Chalk dot Com promo.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Code Jesse gets you thirty five percent of subscriptions, So
don't pay full price.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
That's what kind of chump would pay full price. Chalk
dot Com promo code Jesse. We'll be back, all right.
I have to prep you for something.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I don't normally do this, but as you know, this
is a family show. I know you sit down and
watch with your kids, and I love that, and it
always will be that. This next subject is a bit
of an ugly one. No, obviously we're not going to
get super graphic or anything like that. Don't worry. I
just want to warn you. We're discussing the kind of
online smut industry that may be a little bit harder

(34:57):
to hear. All right, all right, now I want you
to listen to this undercover video. There's a website, obviously,
porn Hub. It's not not one for the kiddos. And
this is a technical product manager describing a loophole of sorts.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Listen to this, How are you gonna tell me? Like
who's in that video of the girls showing on her face?
Like that wouldn't hold in?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
That would be the loophole that I was like, I
look at that and I'm like that's stupid.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
But everybody is just kind of rolling with it.

Speaker 8 (35:29):
Why do they just roll with it?

Speaker 15 (35:30):
Why don't they say something? Who exploits the loop?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
And everybody? Everyone? Do you make a lot of money?

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Do you rate this?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Use it? Or? Of course we've brought it up to
the CBO.

Speaker 10 (35:46):
We brought it up in the CELO and they're both
telling us it's all good.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And the CBO is especially telling.

Speaker 10 (35:50):
Us like it's all like shut up, I'm not gonna
get go through.

Speaker 15 (35:57):
What I like was to find out about this loophole.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
What would they do? I don't know, they're not gonna
They're dumb.

Speaker 12 (36:10):
I don't know, they're not.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Qualifying what what loophole? Joining me now, Arden Young, she's
the investigative journalist with Sound investigations. Okay, Arden, explain to
me what I'm hearing here, because that.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
All sounded really bad.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
It seems like this website is a human trafficking website.

Speaker 15 (36:36):
Yeah, they certainly seem to be profiting a lot from
illegal videos, exploitative videos. And he explains to me a
loophole where they're not verifying these videos uploaded by users,
where if you're uploading videos that don't show faces, which
many of them are, they're not verifying everyone's age and identity.

(36:59):
So it leaves a lot of room for people like
traffickers and rapists like he mentions, to be uploading videos
that are abusive and completely illegal. It's a violation of
US Code twenty two fifty seven that ruled that in
pornographic content made by a traditional porn company, every single

(37:21):
participant has to be verified for age. So we want
porn Hub held accountable for this. And finally himself, he says,
this wouldn't hold in court. He's brought it up to
the CPO, he's brought it up to the COLO, and
they have told him to f off and shut up.
So it's completely inexcusable and we want Pornhub held accountable.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Pornhub has said publicly that it's cleaned things up. Is
this just standard corporate America jargon or have they actually
cleaned things up?

Speaker 15 (37:57):
I don't think they've actually cleaned things up. Leaves way
way too much room for error. The whole premise for
this investigation was that porn Hub claimed to publicly clean
things up, but we suspected differently, so we decided to investigate.
Mike Farley gave me a lot of stunning admissions, and

(38:19):
we don't think it's clean on the inside. He says,
it's all about profits. It would hurt their bottom line,
and they're not thinking about legality in an ethical way.
They're just trying to skirt the laws.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Okay, something that caught my eye.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Actually, the reason this story caught my eye at all
is your investigative journalism is being censored and censored by
the social media site people like to think of as
the more freedom social media.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Site X normally known as Twitter.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I don't know on mold, I can't keep track of
all these things, But why exactly are you being censored?

Speaker 15 (38:56):
That kind of remains to be seen. Last night, I
was locked out of my Twitter for violating privacy rules,
which is weird. I'm not allowed back in unless I
acknowledge that these posts should be deleted, and Twitter has
already taken them down. So unfortunately, the story is scrubbed
from Twitter, and I thought differently of the platform, which

(39:18):
is why we decide to use it to release the story.
Hopefully it gets reviewed and taken care of, but if not,
I don't know what the next steps are.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
Ard.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I love what you do investigative journalism. I just we
should have an army of people who do what you
do in this country.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Sadly, we do not tell people about it. How did
you even get into it? I'm really curious, absolutely well.

Speaker 15 (39:44):
I began sound investigations earlier this year. I decided to
investigate Pornhub because of a twenty twenty article in The
New York Times written by Nicholas Christoph about porn Hub,
and it's titled The Children of porn Hub details these
children who had been exploited. It was filmed and monetized

(40:05):
on Pornhub, and Pornhub had refused to take those videos down.
So that is the reason why I wanted to investigate
this in the first place. It mine geeked. The parent
company of Pornhub has a huge monopoly over the porn industry,
and the amount of power, resources money they have is daunting.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Arden these people. I've really changed him with the curious.
They have no idea they're being recorded. He just thinks
he's on a hot date, and they just run their
mouths like this. I think about this every time I
see one of these undercover videos with some big shot
at some company shooting his mouth after these dudes.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Look, I know, we're big domb animals.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
They just get around a pretty girl and they just
vomit out everything they're not supposed to say.

Speaker 15 (40:52):
He was an open book. It was surprising to me
as well. Actually, yeah, we sat down and I asked
him the questions I wanted to ask, and he was
very obliging.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Okay, do you get cool gadgets and stuff like spies do?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
With investigative journalism.

Speaker 15 (41:12):
We do have covert camera equipment that we use in
order to evade detections as.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Gosh, I want to covert camera. Arden.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Thank you so much for what you do. Please come
back soon.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Thank you. Jesse. Of course, all right.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
I know we need to light the mood after that.
It's just something I thought was worth covering. Let's be
aware of the filth that's out there before we get
to that.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Let's get to this.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
We already went over everything at the very beginning of
the show about where we're going financially as a country.
It's just it boggles the mind that these people are
sitting around just discussing how to spend billions when there's
no money left. What have you done to make preparations
for some rocky times?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
It helps you sleep at night? You know that?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Right when I tell you to get an emergency three
month food kit, mine.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Helps me sleep? It does. I know that's probably weird,
it does.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
It makes me feel good to know that I have
made basic preparations for anything that might come along. My
Patriot Supply has three month food kits ready to go
when they're twenty five percent off.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Right now? Did you know that you don't have to
worry about What about this Cannabians? How long is this good?

Speaker 12 (42:24):
For?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Three month food kits prepped, ready to go, two thousand
calories a day. Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot com is
where you go get them. Everyone in your home needs one.
If you got four people, by four of them. If
you live alone, just get one. You don't have to
overdo it, but you need one. Prepare with Jesse Kelly
dot com. All right, that's when it gets you twenty

(42:46):
five percent off. We'll be back, all right. It is
time to lighten the mood. And before we get to
a different light in the mood today, let's do something.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Let's talk about you. Let's talk about your home.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Do you know why you walk into someone else's home
and it has an odor?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
You know why? Because we have odors? Sorry, we do.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
We put off odors as human beings. The production staff
horrible odors all over the place. Sorry, mister producer, horrible odors.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
But we do.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Look, we humans, pets are food. We put off odors.
They soak into our homes. Our homes acquire smells over time,
and it's gross. Get some eating pure thunderstorms in your
home because they will clean your.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Air, not cover up the odor.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
It's not the weird little potpoury oil thing you plug
into the outlet in the wall. It eliminates the odor
in your air, cleaning, it viruses mold. It does in
your in your home what nature does after a thunderstorm.
They have three packs of these things available two hundred
dollars off.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
What do you have to do?

Speaker 1 (43:57):
You have to go to eatinpuredeals dot com and use
the code Jesse all right, edenpuredeals dot com code, Jesse,
go clean the air up in your home now for light.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
In the mood.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
We're doing something a little different.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
That was a long show, all kinds of stuff with
debt and all the online filth and just look, it.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Was a lot, a lot to deal with.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
So let's turn our anger that we might be feeling
right now, anger, stress, whatever it is, Let's turn it
into activism.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Did you know that it's voter registration day today? So
if you're at all feeling.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Angst anger, stress, over all the news of the day
and all the stories, turn it into activism and call
one friend or you know what. You know what I forgot.
It's the year twenty twenty three. I don't mean to
be an old fogie. Text somebody, pick up your phone,
text a friend. Better yet, grab the link and text
it to all your friends in a big group. Text Hey,

(44:53):
voter registration day today. Go register to vote, and don't
vote Democrat like a dirty comic. Don't be afraid to
throw that in there too. Let's turn our anger into
activism in even small ways.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
All right, it's how we take this country back. We'll
do it again.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
