Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday, thrilled to be here.
We are going to cover well, we're gonna do a
Metal of Honor Monday of course here in a second.
Then we're going to talk about different mentalities because people
will say things like, hey, that communist plan that's not
(00:35):
going to work. Well, the Rear Admiral Pete Buddha Jeedg
is in the news, and we'll discuss that. We'll get
to emails and we'll do so much more. But you
know what time it is. It's the start of the
second hour on Monday, and that means it's Medal of
Honor Monday time. We take a Medal of Honor citation
(00:56):
and we read it. That's it, we read it. When
you earn a Medal of Honor, they will do a
write up on you on what you did, known as
a citation. Some are very unbelievably short, Some are unbelievably long.
The one I'm about to do is very very long.
It just depends on who does the writing on it.
(01:19):
But this one's from Vietnam. We got an email from
this member. You can email the show love hate, death threats,
and Medal of Honor suggestions if you like them. We
got this email Pink Flower Jesse. Here's a Green beret
for Medal of Honor Monday. Look at Bernie Atkins. I
know I should send the citation, but it's incredibly long
and doesn't mention on top of fighting the viet Cong
(01:40):
and the Vietnamese they had a train and they had
a tiger, or they had a trainee tiger that smelled blood.
I didn't know that. Okay. Well, either way, without further
ado from Vietnam, guys will never get the amount of
respect they deserve. Here's one for Benny g Atkins. Born
in Waika, Oklahoma. Current population there is eighteen hundred tinytown
(02:04):
in Oklahoma. Let's find out what he did.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Sergeant first Class Benny g Atkins distinguished himself by acts
of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life
above a mean a call of duty while serving as
an intelligence sergeant with Detachment A one zero two, fifth
Special Forces Group, First Special Forces during combat operations against
(02:41):
an armed enemy at Camp a Shaw, Republic of Vietnam
from March ninth to twelfth, nineteen sixty six. When the
camp was attacked by a large North Vietnamese and viet
Cong force in the early morning hours, Sergeant first class
Atkins rushed through intense enemy fiveire and manned a mortar position,
(03:02):
continually adjusting fire for the camp despite incurring wounds as
the mortar pit received several direct hits from enemy mortars.
Upon learning that several soldiers were wounded near the center
of the camp, he temporarily turned the mortar over to
another soldier, ran through exploding mortar rounds, and dragged several
(03:24):
comrades to safety. As the hostile fire subsided, Sergeant first
class Atkins exposed himself to sporadic sniper fire while carrying
his wounded comrades to the camp dispensary. When Sergeant first
class Atkins and his group of defenders came under heavy
small arms fire from members of the civilian Irregular Defense
(03:45):
Group that had defected to fight with the North Vietnamese,
he maneuvered outside the camp to evacuate a seriously wounded
American and draw fire, all while successfully covering the rescue
a resupply air drop landed outside of the camp perimeter.
Sergeant first class Atkins again moved outside of the camp
(04:08):
walls to retrieve much needed supplies. During the early early
morning hours of March tenth, nineteen sixty six, enemy forces
launched their main attack, and within two hours, Sergeant first
class Atkins was the only man firing a mortar weapon.
When all mortar rounds were expended, Sergeant first class Atkins
(04:30):
began placing effective recoilist rifle fire upon enemy positions. Despite
receiving additional wounds from enemy rounds exploding on his position,
Sergeant first class Atkins fought off intense waves of attacking Vietcong.
Sergeant first class Atkins eliminated numerous insurgents with small arms fire.
(04:51):
After withdrawing to a communications bunker with several soldiers running
extremely low on ammunition, he returned to the mortar pit,
gathered fido ammunition, and ran through intense fire back to
the bunker. After being ordered to evacuate the camp, Sergeant
first class Atkins and a small group of soldiers destroyed
(05:11):
all signal equipment and classified documents, dug their way out
of the rear of the bunker and fought their way
out of the camp. While carrying a wounded soldier to
the extraction point, he learned that the last helicopter had
already departed. Sergeant first Class Atkins led the group while
evading the enemy until they were rescued by helicopter on
(05:33):
March twelfth, nineteen sixty six. During the thirty eight hour
battle and forty eight hours of escape and evasion, fighting
with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades,
it was estimated that Sergeant first Class Atkins had killed
between one hundred and thirty five and one hundred and
(05:53):
seventy five of the enemy while sustaining eighteen different wounds
to his body. Sergeant first Class attions extraordinary heroism and
selflessness above them beyond the call of duty, are and
keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and
reflect great credit upon himself. Detachment A one zero two
(06:14):
fifth Special Forces Group, first Special Forces in the United
States Army, Dang Gone, Vietnam. Man. You know, I've been
kind of nerding out on a bit of Vietnam recently. Yes,
I'm still doing my Kama Kazi research, but I've been
nerding out on a bunch of Vietnam stuff. And one
(06:37):
thing that was amazing about that war and horrible about
the war was they were really good too. They were
the Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese, and the Viet Kong. Remember
the viet Cong, they were the rebel guerrilla group in
South Vietnam. There were North Vietnamese Army, those were the
(06:59):
army regulars, but then there were viet Cong in the south.
Those are the ones who pretended to be farmers and
things like that, and then they'd grab a rifle after night,
after dark and go kill somebody with it. But they
weren't untrained. Remember, they had just fought the French. The
French after World War II. The Vietnamese people wanted to
(07:22):
expel the French because the French had colonized Vietnam back
in the eighteen hundreds. Vietnam's great for rubber, and rubber
is huge, always will be huge, So Vietnam wanted all
the rubber they colonized Vietnam. Finally, post World War two,
the Vietnamese had had enough and decided to square off
against them, and they beat the French army. I know
(07:46):
you're laughing because it's the French army. But for a
tiny country like Vietnam to defeat a country like France
is a big deal. They defeated the French army and
they learned a lot of things. All those tunnels. You
remember hearing about all the tunnels. Surely if you know
anything about Vietnam, you know that they have this huge
underground network of tunnels, many of them connected. We're talking
(08:08):
underground hospitals and places people sleep and under vast as
vast Well, they didn't create that during our Vietnam War.
That was created before the Vietnam War. Of course, they
improved upon it and added to it during our Vietnam War.
But these were people who had been fighting big boy
(08:30):
countries for a very long time. And as it pertains
to this, we would have camps and they would overrun them.
We didn't win every engagement on the ground. These were very,
very capable infiltrators, and they were true believers. Many of
them were true believers. They started selling people Ho Chi Minh,
(08:54):
excuse me, was really selling people on dying for the
Communist cause. And you can always find a true believer
to do that. And there was one story I read
where a camp one of these camps, I believe it
was a Special Forces camp had been overrun by these
highly highly trained sappers and fil traders, and they got
(09:15):
into the camp and killed a bunch of people, and
of course a bunch of them had been killed as well. Look,
you in fil trader camp full of green berets, you're
gonna take some casualties too. But the guys who they
had killed, I believe they had headbands on them. I
think there were headbands that said we came here to die.
Very difficult to defeat an enemy like that. And the
(09:37):
Vietnam guys, our Vietnam guys, were thrown into a world
of crap against a very capable enemy. And we had
a lot of lions over there, a lot of lions
over there, and they deserve all the respect in the world. Okay,
enough of that. There's this story today out of the
New York Post. Here's the headline, Pete Boodhage Edge is
(09:59):
dot Apartment of Transportation spent eighty billion dollars on DEI grants,
delayed air traffic control upgrades records. According to records and
industry insiders, so people to Jedge. The rear Admiral takes
over the Department of Transportation and promptly stops anything they're
(10:22):
supposed to be doing and sends eighty billion dollars of
your money to cultural Marxism. And I see so many
people today talking about his failures. This is why everything
failed under him. This is why we had so many
problems under him. He kept failing. We'll talk about that
in a moment. Before we do that, let's talk about well,
(10:44):
speaking of green Berets. You know rough Greens. You know
doctor Dennis Black, naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. You know he's
a Green Beret. As you know that those guys tend
to go on and do great things. He wanted dogs
in this country to live longer and healthier. How do
you do that, Well, you got to give them nutrition.
(11:04):
They don't get it from dog food. Your dog does
not get nutrition from dogfood. He created the number what
is now the number one dog supplement in America, Roughgreens.
You sprinkle it on your dog's food, live nutrients. You
want your dog to have a shinier coat, better digestion.
Fred used to have all kinds of problems. No more
better energy, less scratching, better breath, but all the things
(11:29):
that happen to you when you get nutrition. Introduce Rough
Greens to your dog, keep your dog longer a free
jumpstart trio bag at two to one four Rough Dog.
Just use the promo code Jesse or go to Roughgreens
dot com two one four Roughdog promo code Jesse. We'll
(11:50):
be back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're listening to the auricle.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You love this one.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It's a scream baby the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It is a Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email the show. Love Hey, death threats
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So Pete boota Jad
is catching some heat because now we have some records
that show he's delaying air traffic control updates. We have
(12:20):
planes running into each other, crashing, people were dying. Pete
delayed those updates, but he spent eighty billion dollars on
DEI grants. What an idiot he failed. That's why things
didn't work. If you think like that, you don't understand
what you're up against. I'll pair that with this headline,
(12:40):
German green agenda saw the electric grid costs double over
the past decade. Ah, those idiot Germans, they went green
and it failed. No, it didn't. It worked exactly as
it was intended to work. Air traffic controllers not having
(13:04):
enough of them and them not doing their jobs so
people die. Would never be looked on as a failure
by a communist like Pete Budhajet. It's looked at as
a failure by you, because you're somebody who wants things
to work right. You care about people, You want things
(13:27):
to work properly, you want things to improve. And so
when someone takes over the Department of Transportation and promptly
blows eighty billion dollars on a bunch of black lives
matter gay stuff, you think to yourself, Wow, what a failure.
He should have hired air traffic controllers. But it's only
(13:48):
a failure if you have the same goals. And this
is what the right still does not understand. They don't
share your goals. I'll tell you pause on this, come
back to it. I want to play you something. It's
on the same subject. Don't worry, I'm not changing the subject.
Pete hag Seth, new Secretary of Defense, came out put
(14:08):
out this video talking about We're going to change the
way officers get promoted in the military. Here, he bus.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
America's sons and daughters who serve in our military deserve
the best leaders commanding them, which is why we need
to reform the promotion system at DoD how we get
those leaders. We're proud that Brigadier General Anthony Tata has
just been confirmed as our Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel
and Readiness. His predecessor, Jay Hurst signed a memo tasking
(14:37):
the services to support reforms that I've asked my friend
Stu Sheller, you know him, to recommend changes by looking
at the entirety of the selection and retention process for
our military's officer corps, and that includes training in professional
military education, officer valuations, promotions, and command selection.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That was a bunch your words. What did you mean
by any of that? Well, let me break it down
if you actually look at the document and understand what happened.
What has been happening under the Communists is officers in
the military were promoted for being well loyal Communists DEI
(15:19):
promotions all across the spectrum. That's why you see all
kinds of pictures of some admiral in charge of a
battleship and it's some three hundred and fifty pound woman
that doesn't look like she could outrun a freaking snail.
How and you look and you say, how in the
world could that person get promoted? She's a woman, probably
a lesbian too. How could this idiot get promoted? How
(15:40):
could that idiot get promoted? How could that? The Communists
took over the United States military and completely reform the
system to promote only those loyal to them, which would
of course prompt someone like you to say, why would
they do that? That's going to weaken the military. That
doesn't work. No, you have different goals. You care about
(16:06):
your country, you care about the troops, You care about
the military, so you want the military to have excellent
leaders and become a supreme fighting force. The communist doesn't
share a single one of those goals, not interested in
any of that at all. The Communist is His goals
are to take the United States military and use it
(16:28):
for the revolution. So he will hand out generous rewards
to his friends, and he will punish his enemies. Why
would Pete Buddhajedge ignore air traffic control and hand out
eighty billion dollars for gay Black Lives Matter stuff? He
has different goals than you you care about planes dropping
out of the sky. You don't want people to die.
(16:48):
All these things are sad to you. Pete Bodha Jedge
is an anti human. He couldn't give a crap less
how many planes fall out of the sky. He is
there to loot the treasury. He had been given a
role as to Apartment of Transportation head, and because he's
a communist, raised to be a communist, he believed in
using that position only for the revolution. He did not
(17:12):
fail in any way in his mind. He had a
different goal than you had. We used the example before
of the mafia. If you walked into whatever area the
Colombo's currently control of New York, and you handed him
fifty million dollars and said, hey, here's fifty million dollars,
would you please build us a school? What do you
(17:35):
think they would do with that fifty million dollars? Think
they put all fifty million into the school. You have
different goals, completely different goals. Stop pointing out failures when
they didn't fail at all. In many cases they're designed
to fail. But when you point out the failures of
(17:57):
a communist to a communist and he laughs the off,
it's because he doesn't think he failed. He thinks he succeeded.
He succeeded in looting the treasury for his evil purposes,
and that's his only goal. Now, speaking of failing, I
believe I have failed as a father, and I will
(18:20):
explain why in just a moment, and then we'll do
some emails. If you don't want kids like mine, you
need to get your kids in education from Hillsdale College.
By the way, Hillsdale College professors, I've told you this before.
I had one tell me, I believe it's my duty,
my obligation to create good citizens. Isn't that freaking awesome
(18:44):
to have a university that things like that instead of
a university that believes it should create revolutionaries to burn
the country down. Hillsdale wants your child to be a
good citizen, and we all can get educated from Hillsdale,
and they hand it out for free, more than forty
free online courses. You have any idea how much wisdom
(19:07):
is waiting for you on your phone, your laptop, your desktop, whatever.
We're talking online courses at no cost. You can do
it in your car, Please don't do it while you're driving.
You can do it sitting in your living room, even
Chris can do it. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse is
where you go to enroll. Go maybe start out on
(19:29):
their constitution course or understanding capitalism. Whatever, Just go and
begin Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse. We'll be back. What Chris,
We can make jokes. It's fine, you get that right.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday.
It's been a medal of honor Monday. And we're about
to get to some emails because I'm behind on those.
But first I have to tell you that I've failed
as a father. I was in the car with Luke,
my youngest son. This is yesterday. We were just cruising
(20:07):
down and get a bite, and Luke starts talking to
me about Kanye West and apparently the guy. I mean,
you know, I don't do really pop culture stuff, so
I'm really out of the loop on most of that stuff.
But apparently he's completely lost his mind and was singing
a song called Hale Hitler.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I didn't even know that was a thing. Chris.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I would figure you would have or something you did.
That's a real thing. Oh, gosh, okay, Well, apparently he's
singing a song called Hale Hitler, and my kid is
just amazed by this whole thing. He said, Dad. He
started playing some Hitler's speech. What's wrong with him? And
I said Dad? I said Dad, I said, Luke. Listen, people,
(20:56):
when they get super famous and rich, they lose their
mind lots of the time. It just happens. I don't
know why, but when you get super famous and rich,
you lose your mind lots of the time. And on
my life. He looks at me totally deadpan, and he says, oh, well,
(21:17):
I'm glad you don't have to worry about that. What
a jerk. I don't know who raised that kid. He
certainly didn't learn that from me, probably his mother. Hey, Jesse,
I remember you talking about the effect of this of
speed in any battle you're in. You gave examples of
different conquerors using it throughout history with the documents Tulsa
(21:40):
Gabbert just released, why haven't they been arrested yet? Also,
I believe you're from the Ohio Valley I am. And
you never talk about the best pizza in the country
Di Carlo's Pizza. Yes to Carlos is freaking legit. I
don't know if i'd say best in the country, but
it might be okay. So I have to be very
(22:02):
careful about what I'm about to say. Not because I'm
worried about offending people, as you well know, I have
to be careful because I don't want what I'm about
to say to sound like I'm making pre excuses for
Pam Bonding. I am not. I am hard, have been hard,
and will be hard on Pam Bonding. That is just
(22:23):
the way that's going to be. I have not been
impressed so far, and I've been hard on her way
too many Fox News appointments, way way too few. That's
definitely not how you say that. Too few arrests of
government officials. I have been hard on Pam bonding. She
just got the documentation. And remember we talked about how
(22:45):
Obama filled up the government with communists for eight years.
Were those same communists who did that with Barack Obama,
The Lisa Monicos, the Anita Duns. They all went right
back into office when Joe Biden took over, and they
just did it for another four years plus Trump's first
four years. They didn't drain any of the swamp. So
(23:07):
we have twelve years now, twelve years of the government
being filled up with these people. The Department of Justice
in particular, how do you picture it. I'll tell you
how I picture it. It's one big building. It's full
of a bunch of lawyers. Because it's the Department of Justice.
(23:29):
Surely there is a line out the door for people
trying to get a job with the DOJ because it
would look great on the resume and it would be very,
very prestigious. Is that not how you picture the DJ
Chris Corey was, Okay, that's how you generally picture it. However,
it's just like any other organization personnel's policy. There are
(23:50):
only so many positions, and the communists have filled it
up for twelve years. Bondy, one thing I will definitely
give her credit for has been only draining it. Many
of them resigned. She's getting rid of others, James Comi's
daughter being one of those. She's getting rid of others. Now,
(24:10):
let's pause on that for a moment. Have you ever
wondered or marveled at how vicious communists can be to people,
how vicious and mean they can be when they get
an opponent, Maybe it's a traitor to their cause. Maybe
it's just anyone who threatens their cause. But how vicious
(24:33):
they can be. They're not vicious just because they're soul esteemons.
They're vicious because the communists understand the value of making
an example of someone. They've always understood the value of
making an example of someone. The legal profession mainly because
(24:56):
of law schools, but there are other reasons too. The
illegal profession in this country is unbelievably left wing. Communists, communists,
communists all throughout it. That's the legal profession. Also, combine
that with the fact that lawyers who have worked for
(25:16):
Trump have been destroyed. We've had lawyers who have worked
for Trump who have lost their career because they worked
for Donald Trump. Why did the communists do that? Not
just to punish that individual lawyer, but to send a
message to any future lawyers. You are not allowed to
(25:37):
defend the right, You are not allowed to work with
the right, or we will crush you, will dispar you,
we'll have you arrested. Pam Bondi doesn't have the personnel.
I know they're working to fill those positions, and I
believe they will fill those positions. But I'll tell you,
(25:58):
as the layman, I pick, you're a line. Surely there's
a line of conservative lawyers out the door who want
to work for the DOJ and build that resume resume. No,
there aren't. They watched what happened to the last ones,
and they say, well, why would I go work at
the DOJ? Trump is gone in three and a half
years from now. Then I have that on my resume,
(26:20):
and I can't get hired anywhere else in the country.
I lose my entire career. That's why the communists have
been making examples of conservative lawyers everywhere they can find them,
crush them, make a public spectacle out of crushing them,
and let that serve as an example to everyone else.
(26:42):
It's very very effective. Yeah, I know it's vicious and
it's evil, and it's wrong and all that, but it's
very very effective. We can't find enough lawyers to staff
the DOJ. That's wild, But that's where we are. Here's
what else is wild. This was the victory party for
Omar Fete after winning the Democrat endorsement in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
In Minneapolis, why he started, I'm either thinking of Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
A reminder that mass immigration does not become suddenly wonderful
just because politicians make it legal. It's not only illegal
immigration that is bad. Legal immigration and mass is just
as bad. And we still have not managed to purge
(27:40):
the Republican Party of people who think like this. Here's
brain daid, idiot Maria Salazar out of Florida.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
We give them dignity. At some point in the future,
another legislator will write another law to give them paths
to citizenship. Right now, what we need to do is
to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay
to team you working because they're needed.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You see.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
It's what I'm trying to do is to bring some
common sense, which is the least common of all senses,
to this conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Maria Salazar, James Langford. There are many many others snakes
inside of the Republican Party who, having given our country
away to as many foreigners as they possibly can, now
try to write legislation that guarantees they get to stay here.
(28:30):
Now we have our great cities represented by these people.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Next, minut of Minneapolis, why he started, Why I'm either
think of.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Minneapolis hard pass on that. Let's do some emails next.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Fighting for your freedom every day The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday Memory.
If you miss any part of the show. The podcast
is free. iHeart Spotify iTunes, download it right on your phone.
Enjoy it at your leisure. Don't roll your eyes when
I say it like that, Chris. I used to say leisure,
but now I'm educated. No, yeah, it's right. I start now,
(29:21):
I've started. When I drink a cup of coffee, I
put my pinky up. I'm going to get a monocle.
I actually probably what, Chris, I've always wondered, how does
that stay in there? There's no way that can be
very secure with the what? What? What? You have to
scrunch your face? Why would I want to scrunch my
face up all the time. That's that's It does look
(29:41):
fancy though with a monocle, though, you do have to
add a cane. And you and I have had this
discussion before. What don't make that face? You and I
have had this discussion before. I really want a cane.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's not just a twirling I want one that either
has a sword in it or one of those ones
that shoots a gun. I know those dirty Russians had one.
They killed that one guy. And what Chris they did?
They killed that guy in London about it? You're so dumb.
You don't understand this stuff like I do. You don't
understand the spy game, Chris the way I do. Hey, Jesse,
how close is the US dollar to collapse? Why isn't
(30:16):
anyone talking about it as much as they should? Well,
I obviously know you hear me talk about it all
the time. Collapse is a strong word. It's already happening.
You are twenty four percent poorer than you were back
in twenty twenty. You are twenty four percent poorer because
(30:37):
government keeps spending and printing money. Inflation has not gone down,
is not Prices have not returned to where they were,
and government spending and printing coincidentally has not returned to
where it is now. And so what will happen from
here is very similar to a family. Maybe you've been
(30:59):
here that is buried in debt. You make one hundred
thousand dollars a year, but you owe so much more money,
and at first you can weather that storm, you can
make those payments. We're behind a little bit on the car.
Let's pay this car. We won't pay that car, well,
the mortgage payment. Let's make sure that hey, we could
(31:21):
probably cancel insurance. We won't take a vacation this year.
So you will slowly but surely, as a country start
to make do with less. You you will find that
your dollar doesn't go as far. You will look around
one day and see that your standard of living is
lower than your parents, and you will start asking why
(31:42):
I don't understand. I don't understand. It's because of government
spending and printing. It's not probably going to be a
collapse all at once of the dollar. The debt continues
to pile up and pile up, and pile up and
pile up, with no end in sight. And as it
piles up, what we will be is a less reliable
(32:04):
person to loan money to. You understand why people with
bad credit get higher interest rates, people with good credit
get lower interest rates. That's because people with bad credit
are risky. They're a riskier person to loan money to,
so you charge them more for that money. America is
already seeing higher interest rates because we need people to
(32:28):
buy our debt. The interest rates will go up. As
the interest rates go up, everything kind of snowballs on itself,
and the value of your dollar at the end of
the road goes down, your standard of living goes down.
You're in the middle of the US dollar collapse. I
don't waste as I don't waste as much time on
(32:49):
it as I used to do, just because no one cares.
Every time you get a Republican in there, Republican House,
Republican Senate, Republican president, you hold out some kind of
hope that there may be some kind of cut here there.
But there's just no interest in that at all. None.
There's no appetite for it. Everybody, every president, Republican and Democrat,
(33:13):
they all want to do big things. Oh we got
a trillion dollar I mean we had Trump bragging about it.
We got a trillion dollar defence budget, bragged about it. Uh,
Why we're thirty seven trillion dollars in debt and we're
not at war. Why do we need a trillion dollar
defense budget? That's insane. But again, no one cares what
(33:33):
I just said. I'll have a bunch of email. I'll
have a bunch of hatred. Oh you can't credit Trine, No, no, no,
I can. I absolutely can. Because as the dollar continues
to go down, your life will get worse. And as
your life continues to get worse, I'll keep getting emails
from people say I don't understand. I'm explaining it right now.
You cannot spend two trillion dollars a year more than
(33:54):
you take in as a government without the people themselves
getting smashed. You can't. But no one wants to cut it.
Senate doesn't money cut it. Either House doesn't want to
cut it. Democrats don't, Republicans don't. That's the point I've
made a thousand times, Chris. How many congressmen, senators, presidents,
how many have lost their reelection because they spent too
(34:16):
much money?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Zero?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not one in my entire lifetime has lost because of that.
We've had incumbents who have lost. Don't get me wrong,
but that's never been the rallying cry of the people
who ran against them. People don't care. Jesse, happy birthday,
Oh please? That was yesterday. And you know, I don't
want to focus on the fact that I turned forty
(34:41):
four yesterday. I am not a selfish person. I'm a
person who makes it about others. So I'll say this Yesterday,
somehow it got out that it was my birthday, and
yesterday I had so much love pour in just emails
and texts and social media of people to tell me
(35:04):
how much I mean to them and stuff like that,
like this one started listening to you this year. You
had me at Red Lobster. I was in the work
truck and lost it. The void that rush left has
finally been filled. Political talk, but also funny in a historian,
you're the only one that has that. Thanks for making
my work day Hume alone. You get enough messages like
(35:25):
that on your birthday. Eventually you sit back and you
have a moment of self reflection and you realize, I'm
really important. I'm a huge, important celebrity. What Chris, Why
famous people going crazy? Chris, That's not me. I was
always like this, you know. That's That's at least what
(35:47):
Obbs says when when I or whenever I complain or
someone complains about something I've done, she always says, oh,
he's always been like this. I don't know why, Jesse,
I would visit uh, he said late night after I
would visit it an after work watering hole. But I've
decided to change my ways and find myself visiting high
end places like White Castle and even McDonald's instead, as
(36:11):
you say, as long as you're struggling, you're winning. He
might be baby steps now, but they are steps, nonetheless
in the right direction, one hundred percent true. You got
a vice you're trying to dump. If you have to
replace it with another one that's maybe not quite as bad,
then do it. March forward. I love White Castle. That
(36:33):
reminds me of that time I brought home those frozen
White Castle burgers and ob in a fit of rage
he giving the kids too much junk, threw them out. Chris, Yeah,
she threw them out. I'm still upset about the whole thing.
All right, let's talk briefly, very briefly about cobear getting canceled.
I don't care about that, but why do democrats Why
(36:56):
are democrats really rallying against that? Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday, thrilled to be here.
We are going to cover well, we're gonna do a
Metal of Honor Monday of course here in a second.
Then we're going to talk about different mentalities because people
will say things like, hey, that communist plan that's not
(00:35):
going to work. Well, the Rear Admiral Pete Buddha Jeedg
is in the news, and we'll discuss that. We'll get
to emails and we'll do so much more. But you
know what time it is. It's the start of the
second hour on Monday, and that means it's Medal of
Honor Monday time. We take a Medal of Honor citation
(00:56):
and we read it. That's it, we read it. When
you earn a Medal of Honor, they will do a
write up on you on what you did, known as
a citation. Some are very unbelievably short, Some are unbelievably long.
The one I'm about to do is very very long.
It just depends on who does the writing on it.
(01:19):
But this one's from Vietnam. We got an email from
this member. You can email the show love hate, death threats,
and Medal of Honor suggestions if you like them. We
got this email Pink Flower Jesse. Here's a Green beret
for Medal of Honor Monday. Look at Bernie Atkins. I
know I should send the citation, but it's incredibly long
and doesn't mention on top of fighting the viet Cong
(01:40):
and the Vietnamese they had a train and they had
a tiger, or they had a trainee tiger that smelled blood.
I didn't know that. Okay. Well, either way, without further
ado from Vietnam, guys will never get the amount of
respect they deserve. Here's one for Benny g Atkins. Born
in Waika, Oklahoma. Current population there is eighteen hundred tinytown
(02:04):
in Oklahoma. Let's find out what he did.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal
of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Sergeant first Class Benny g Atkins distinguished himself by acts
of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life
above a mean a call of duty while serving as
an intelligence sergeant with Detachment A one zero two, fifth
Special Forces Group, First Special Forces during combat operations against
(02:41):
an armed enemy at Camp a Shaw, Republic of Vietnam
from March ninth to twelfth, nineteen sixty six. When the
camp was attacked by a large North Vietnamese and viet
Cong force in the early morning hours, Sergeant first class
Atkins rushed through intense enemy fiveire and manned a mortar position,
(03:02):
continually adjusting fire for the camp despite incurring wounds as
the mortar pit received several direct hits from enemy mortars.
Upon learning that several soldiers were wounded near the center
of the camp, he temporarily turned the mortar over to
another soldier, ran through exploding mortar rounds, and dragged several
(03:24):
comrades to safety. As the hostile fire subsided, Sergeant first
class Atkins exposed himself to sporadic sniper fire while carrying
his wounded comrades to the camp dispensary. When Sergeant first
class Atkins and his group of defenders came under heavy
small arms fire from members of the civilian Irregular Defense
(03:45):
Group that had defected to fight with the North Vietnamese,
he maneuvered outside the camp to evacuate a seriously wounded
American and draw fire, all while successfully covering the rescue
a resupply air drop landed outside of the camp perimeter.
Sergeant first class Atkins again moved outside of the camp
(04:08):
walls to retrieve much needed supplies. During the early early
morning hours of March tenth, nineteen sixty six, enemy forces
launched their main attack, and within two hours, Sergeant first
class Atkins was the only man firing a mortar weapon.
When all mortar rounds were expended, Sergeant first class Atkins
(04:30):
began placing effective recoilist rifle fire upon enemy positions. Despite
receiving additional wounds from enemy rounds exploding on his position,
Sergeant first class Atkins fought off intense waves of attacking Vietcong.
Sergeant first class Atkins eliminated numerous insurgents with small arms fire.
(04:51):
After withdrawing to a communications bunker with several soldiers running
extremely low on ammunition, he returned to the mortar pit,
gathered fido ammunition, and ran through intense fire back to
the bunker. After being ordered to evacuate the camp, Sergeant
first class Atkins and a small group of soldiers destroyed
(05:11):
all signal equipment and classified documents, dug their way out
of the rear of the bunker and fought their way
out of the camp. While carrying a wounded soldier to
the extraction point, he learned that the last helicopter had
already departed. Sergeant first Class Atkins led the group while
evading the enemy until they were rescued by helicopter on
(05:33):
March twelfth, nineteen sixty six. During the thirty eight hour
battle and forty eight hours of escape and evasion, fighting
with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades,
it was estimated that Sergeant first Class Atkins had killed
between one hundred and thirty five and one hundred and
(05:53):
seventy five of the enemy while sustaining eighteen different wounds
to his body. Sergeant first Class attions extraordinary heroism and
selflessness above them beyond the call of duty, are and
keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and
reflect great credit upon himself. Detachment A one zero two
(06:14):
fifth Special Forces Group, first Special Forces in the United
States Army, Dang Gone, Vietnam. Man. You know, I've been
kind of nerding out on a bit of Vietnam recently. Yes,
I'm still doing my Kama Kazi research, but I've been
nerding out on a bunch of Vietnam stuff. And one
(06:37):
thing that was amazing about that war and horrible about
the war was they were really good too. They were
the Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese, and the Viet Kong. Remember
the viet Cong, they were the rebel guerrilla group in
South Vietnam. There were North Vietnamese Army, those were the
(06:59):
army regulars, but then there were viet Cong in the south.
Those are the ones who pretended to be farmers and
things like that, and then they'd grab a rifle after night,
after dark and go kill somebody with it. But they
weren't untrained. Remember, they had just fought the French. The
French after World War II. The Vietnamese people wanted to
(07:22):
expel the French because the French had colonized Vietnam back
in the eighteen hundreds. Vietnam's great for rubber, and rubber
is huge, always will be huge, So Vietnam wanted all
the rubber they colonized Vietnam. Finally, post World War two,
the Vietnamese had had enough and decided to square off
against them, and they beat the French army. I know
(07:46):
you're laughing because it's the French army. But for a
tiny country like Vietnam to defeat a country like France
is a big deal. They defeated the French army and
they learned a lot of things. All those tunnels. You
remember hearing about all the tunnels. Surely if you know
anything about Vietnam, you know that they have this huge
underground network of tunnels, many of them connected. We're talking
(08:08):
underground hospitals and places people sleep and under vast as
vast Well, they didn't create that during our Vietnam War.
That was created before the Vietnam War. Of course, they
improved upon it and added to it during our Vietnam War.
But these were people who had been fighting big boy
(08:30):
countries for a very long time. And as it pertains
to this, we would have camps and they would overrun them.
We didn't win every engagement on the ground. These were very,
very capable infiltrators, and they were true believers. Many of
them were true believers. They started selling people Ho Chi Minh,
(08:54):
excuse me, was really selling people on dying for the
Communist cause. And you can always find a true believer
to do that. And there was one story I read
where a camp one of these camps, I believe it
was a Special Forces camp had been overrun by these
highly highly trained sappers and fil traders, and they got
(09:15):
into the camp and killed a bunch of people, and
of course a bunch of them had been killed as well. Look,
you in fil trader camp full of green berets, you're
gonna take some casualties too. But the guys who they
had killed, I believe they had headbands on them. I
think there were headbands that said we came here to die.
Very difficult to defeat an enemy like that. And the
(09:37):
Vietnam guys, our Vietnam guys, were thrown into a world
of crap against a very capable enemy. And we had
a lot of lions over there, a lot of lions
over there, and they deserve all the respect in the world. Okay,
enough of that. There's this story today out of the
New York Post. Here's the headline, Pete Boodhage Edge is
(09:59):
dot Apartment of Transportation spent eighty billion dollars on DEI grants,
delayed air traffic control upgrades records. According to records and
industry insiders, so people to Jedge. The rear Admiral takes
over the Department of Transportation and promptly stops anything they're
(10:22):
supposed to be doing and sends eighty billion dollars of
your money to cultural Marxism. And I see so many
people today talking about his failures. This is why everything
failed under him. This is why we had so many
problems under him. He kept failing. We'll talk about that
in a moment. Before we do that, let's talk about well,
(10:44):
speaking of green Berets. You know rough Greens. You know
doctor Dennis Black, naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. You know he's
a Green Beret. As you know that those guys tend
to go on and do great things. He wanted dogs
in this country to live longer and healthier. How do
you do that, Well, you got to give them nutrition.
(11:04):
They don't get it from dog food. Your dog does
not get nutrition from dogfood. He created the number what
is now the number one dog supplement in America, Roughgreens.
You sprinkle it on your dog's food, live nutrients. You
want your dog to have a shinier coat, better digestion.
Fred used to have all kinds of problems. No more
better energy, less scratching, better breath, but all the things
(11:29):
that happen to you when you get nutrition. Introduce Rough
Greens to your dog, keep your dog longer a free
jumpstart trio bag at two to one four Rough Dog.
Just use the promo code Jesse or go to Roughgreens
dot com two one four Roughdog promo code Jesse. We'll
(11:50):
be back.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're listening to the auricle.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You love this one.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It's a scream baby the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It is a Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember you can email the show. Love Hey, death threats
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So Pete boota Jad
is catching some heat because now we have some records
that show he's delaying air traffic control updates. We have
(12:20):
planes running into each other, crashing, people were dying. Pete
delayed those updates, but he spent eighty billion dollars on
DEI grants. What an idiot he failed. That's why things
didn't work. If you think like that, you don't understand
what you're up against. I'll pair that with this headline,
(12:40):
German green agenda saw the electric grid costs double over
the past decade. Ah, those idiot Germans, they went green
and it failed. No, it didn't. It worked exactly as
it was intended to work. Air traffic controllers not having
(13:04):
enough of them and them not doing their jobs so
people die. Would never be looked on as a failure
by a communist like Pete Budhajet. It's looked at as
a failure by you, because you're somebody who wants things
to work right. You care about people, You want things
(13:27):
to work properly, you want things to improve. And so
when someone takes over the Department of Transportation and promptly
blows eighty billion dollars on a bunch of black lives
matter gay stuff, you think to yourself, Wow, what a failure.
He should have hired air traffic controllers. But it's only
(13:48):
a failure if you have the same goals. And this
is what the right still does not understand. They don't
share your goals. I'll tell you pause on this, come
back to it. I want to play you something. It's
on the same subject. Don't worry, I'm not changing the subject.
Pete hag Seth, new Secretary of Defense, came out put
(14:08):
out this video talking about We're going to change the
way officers get promoted in the military. Here, he bus.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
America's sons and daughters who serve in our military deserve
the best leaders commanding them, which is why we need
to reform the promotion system at DoD how we get
those leaders. We're proud that Brigadier General Anthony Tata has
just been confirmed as our Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel
and Readiness. His predecessor, Jay Hurst signed a memo tasking
(14:37):
the services to support reforms that I've asked my friend
Stu Sheller, you know him, to recommend changes by looking
at the entirety of the selection and retention process for
our military's officer corps, and that includes training in professional
military education, officer valuations, promotions, and command selection.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That was a bunch your words. What did you mean
by any of that? Well, let me break it down
if you actually look at the document and understand what happened.
What has been happening under the Communists is officers in
the military were promoted for being well loyal Communists DEI
(15:19):
promotions all across the spectrum. That's why you see all
kinds of pictures of some admiral in charge of a
battleship and it's some three hundred and fifty pound woman
that doesn't look like she could outrun a freaking snail.
How and you look and you say, how in the
world could that person get promoted? She's a woman, probably
a lesbian too. How could this idiot get promoted? How
(15:40):
could that idiot get promoted? How could that? The Communists
took over the United States military and completely reform the
system to promote only those loyal to them, which would
of course prompt someone like you to say, why would
they do that? That's going to weaken the military. That
doesn't work. No, you have different goals. You care about
(16:06):
your country, you care about the troops, You care about
the military, so you want the military to have excellent
leaders and become a supreme fighting force. The communist doesn't
share a single one of those goals, not interested in
any of that at all. The Communist is His goals
are to take the United States military and use it
(16:28):
for the revolution. So he will hand out generous rewards
to his friends, and he will punish his enemies. Why
would Pete Buddhajedge ignore air traffic control and hand out
eighty billion dollars for gay Black Lives Matter stuff? He
has different goals than you you care about planes dropping
out of the sky. You don't want people to die.
(16:48):
All these things are sad to you. Pete Bodha Jedge
is an anti human. He couldn't give a crap less
how many planes fall out of the sky. He is
there to loot the treasury. He had been given a
role as to Apartment of Transportation head, and because he's
a communist, raised to be a communist, he believed in
using that position only for the revolution. He did not
(17:12):
fail in any way in his mind. He had a
different goal than you had. We used the example before
of the mafia. If you walked into whatever area the
Colombo's currently control of New York, and you handed him
fifty million dollars and said, hey, here's fifty million dollars,
would you please build us a school? What do you
(17:35):
think they would do with that fifty million dollars? Think
they put all fifty million into the school. You have
different goals, completely different goals. Stop pointing out failures when
they didn't fail at all. In many cases they're designed
to fail. But when you point out the failures of
(17:57):
a communist to a communist and he laughs the off,
it's because he doesn't think he failed. He thinks he succeeded.
He succeeded in looting the treasury for his evil purposes,
and that's his only goal. Now, speaking of failing, I
believe I have failed as a father, and I will
(18:20):
explain why in just a moment, and then we'll do
some emails. If you don't want kids like mine, you
need to get your kids in education from Hillsdale College.
By the way, Hillsdale College professors, I've told you this before.
I had one tell me, I believe it's my duty,
my obligation to create good citizens. Isn't that freaking awesome
(18:44):
to have a university that things like that instead of
a university that believes it should create revolutionaries to burn
the country down. Hillsdale wants your child to be a
good citizen, and we all can get educated from Hillsdale,
and they hand it out for free, more than forty
free online courses. You have any idea how much wisdom
(19:07):
is waiting for you on your phone, your laptop, your desktop, whatever.
We're talking online courses at no cost. You can do
it in your car, Please don't do it while you're driving.
You can do it sitting in your living room, even
Chris can do it. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse is
where you go to enroll. Go maybe start out on
(19:29):
their constitution course or understanding capitalism. Whatever, Just go and
begin Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse. We'll be back. What Chris,
We can make jokes. It's fine, you get that right.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday.
It's been a medal of honor Monday. And we're about
to get to some emails because I'm behind on those.
But first I have to tell you that I've failed
as a father. I was in the car with Luke,
my youngest son. This is yesterday. We were just cruising
(20:07):
down and get a bite, and Luke starts talking to
me about Kanye West and apparently the guy. I mean,
you know, I don't do really pop culture stuff, so
I'm really out of the loop on most of that stuff.
But apparently he's completely lost his mind and was singing
a song called Hale Hitler.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I didn't even know that was a thing. Chris.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I would figure you would have or something you did.
That's a real thing. Oh, gosh, okay, Well, apparently he's
singing a song called Hale Hitler, and my kid is
just amazed by this whole thing. He said, Dad. He
started playing some Hitler's speech. What's wrong with him? And
I said Dad? I said Dad, I said, Luke. Listen, people,
(20:56):
when they get super famous and rich, they lose their
mind lots of the time. It just happens. I don't
know why, but when you get super famous and rich,
you lose your mind lots of the time. And on
my life. He looks at me totally deadpan, and he says, oh, well,
(21:17):
I'm glad you don't have to worry about that. What
a jerk. I don't know who raised that kid. He
certainly didn't learn that from me, probably his mother. Hey, Jesse,
I remember you talking about the effect of this of
speed in any battle you're in. You gave examples of
different conquerors using it throughout history with the documents Tulsa
(21:40):
Gabbert just released, why haven't they been arrested yet? Also,
I believe you're from the Ohio Valley I am. And
you never talk about the best pizza in the country
Di Carlo's Pizza. Yes to Carlos is freaking legit. I
don't know if i'd say best in the country, but
it might be okay. So I have to be very
(22:02):
careful about what I'm about to say. Not because I'm
worried about offending people, as you well know, I have
to be careful because I don't want what I'm about
to say to sound like I'm making pre excuses for
Pam Bonding. I am not. I am hard, have been hard,
and will be hard on Pam Bonding. That is just
(22:23):
the way that's going to be. I have not been
impressed so far, and I've been hard on her way
too many Fox News appointments, way way too few. That's
definitely not how you say that. Too few arrests of
government officials. I have been hard on Pam bonding. She
just got the documentation. And remember we talked about how
(22:45):
Obama filled up the government with communists for eight years.
Were those same communists who did that with Barack Obama,
The Lisa Monicos, the Anita Duns. They all went right
back into office when Joe Biden took over, and they
just did it for another four years plus Trump's first
four years. They didn't drain any of the swamp. So
(23:07):
we have twelve years now, twelve years of the government
being filled up with these people. The Department of Justice
in particular, how do you picture it. I'll tell you
how I picture it. It's one big building. It's full
of a bunch of lawyers. Because it's the Department of Justice.
(23:29):
Surely there is a line out the door for people
trying to get a job with the DOJ because it
would look great on the resume and it would be very,
very prestigious. Is that not how you picture the DJ
Chris Corey was, Okay, that's how you generally picture it. However,
it's just like any other organization personnel's policy. There are
(23:50):
only so many positions, and the communists have filled it
up for twelve years. Bondy, one thing I will definitely
give her credit for has been only draining it. Many
of them resigned. She's getting rid of others, James Comi's
daughter being one of those. She's getting rid of others. Now,
(24:10):
let's pause on that for a moment. Have you ever
wondered or marveled at how vicious communists can be to people,
how vicious and mean they can be when they get
an opponent, Maybe it's a traitor to their cause. Maybe
it's just anyone who threatens their cause. But how vicious
(24:33):
they can be. They're not vicious just because they're soul esteemons.
They're vicious because the communists understand the value of making
an example of someone. They've always understood the value of
making an example of someone. The legal profession mainly because
(24:56):
of law schools, but there are other reasons too. The
illegal profession in this country is unbelievably left wing. Communists, communists,
communists all throughout it. That's the legal profession. Also, combine
that with the fact that lawyers who have worked for
(25:16):
Trump have been destroyed. We've had lawyers who have worked
for Trump who have lost their career because they worked
for Donald Trump. Why did the communists do that? Not
just to punish that individual lawyer, but to send a
message to any future lawyers. You are not allowed to
(25:37):
defend the right, You are not allowed to work with
the right, or we will crush you, will dispar you,
we'll have you arrested. Pam Bondi doesn't have the personnel.
I know they're working to fill those positions, and I
believe they will fill those positions. But I'll tell you,
(25:58):
as the layman, I pick, you're a line. Surely there's
a line of conservative lawyers out the door who want
to work for the DOJ and build that resume resume. No,
there aren't. They watched what happened to the last ones,
and they say, well, why would I go work at
the DOJ? Trump is gone in three and a half
years from now. Then I have that on my resume,
(26:20):
and I can't get hired anywhere else in the country.
I lose my entire career. That's why the communists have
been making examples of conservative lawyers everywhere they can find them,
crush them, make a public spectacle out of crushing them,
and let that serve as an example to everyone else.
(26:42):
It's very very effective. Yeah, I know it's vicious and
it's evil, and it's wrong and all that, but it's
very very effective. We can't find enough lawyers to staff
the DOJ. That's wild, But that's where we are. Here's
what else is wild. This was the victory party for
Omar Fete after winning the Democrat endorsement in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
In Minneapolis, why he started, I'm either thinking of Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
A reminder that mass immigration does not become suddenly wonderful
just because politicians make it legal. It's not only illegal
immigration that is bad. Legal immigration and mass is just
as bad. And we still have not managed to purge
(27:40):
the Republican Party of people who think like this. Here's
brain daid, idiot Maria Salazar out of Florida.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
We give them dignity. At some point in the future,
another legislator will write another law to give them paths
to citizenship. Right now, what we need to do is
to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay
to team you working because they're needed.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You see.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
It's what I'm trying to do is to bring some
common sense, which is the least common of all senses,
to this conversation.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Maria Salazar, James Langford. There are many many others snakes
inside of the Republican Party who, having given our country
away to as many foreigners as they possibly can, now
try to write legislation that guarantees they get to stay here.
(28:30):
Now we have our great cities represented by these people.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Next, minut of Minneapolis, why he started, Why I'm either
think of.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Minneapolis hard pass on that. Let's do some emails next.

Enjoy it at your leisure. Don't roll your eyes when
I say it like that, Chris. I used to say leisure,
but now I'm educated. No, yeah, it's right. I start now,
(29:21):
I've started. When I drink a cup of coffee, I
put my pinky up. I'm going to get a monocle.
I actually probably what, Chris, I've always wondered, how does
that stay in there? There's no way that can be
very secure with the what? What? What? You have to
scrunch your face? Why would I want to scrunch my
face up all the time. That's that's It does look
(29:41):
fancy though with a monocle, though, you do have to
add a cane. And you and I have had this
discussion before. What don't make that face? You and I
have had this discussion before. I really want a cane.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's not just a twirling I want one that either
has a sword in it or one of those ones
that shoots a gun. I know those dirty Russians had one.
They killed that one guy. And what Chris they did?
They killed that guy in London about it? You're so dumb.
You don't understand this stuff like I do. You don't
understand the spy game, Chris the way I do. Hey, Jesse,
how close is the US dollar to collapse? Why isn't
(30:16):
anyone talking about it as much as they should? Well,
I obviously know you hear me talk about it all
the time. Collapse is a strong word. It's already happening.
You are twenty four percent poorer than you were back
in twenty twenty. You are twenty four percent poorer because
(30:37):
government keeps spending and printing money. Inflation has not gone down,
is not Prices have not returned to where they were,
and government spending and printing coincidentally has not returned to
where it is now. And so what will happen from
here is very similar to a family. Maybe you've been
(30:59):
here that is buried in debt. You make one hundred
thousand dollars a year, but you owe so much more money,
and at first you can weather that storm, you can
make those payments. We're behind a little bit on the car.
Let's pay this car. We won't pay that car, well,
the mortgage payment. Let's make sure that hey, we could
(31:21):
probably cancel insurance. We won't take a vacation this year.
So you will slowly but surely, as a country start
to make do with less. You you will find that
your dollar doesn't go as far. You will look around
one day and see that your standard of living is
lower than your parents, and you will start asking why
(31:42):
I don't understand. I don't understand. It's because of government
spending and printing. It's not probably going to be a
collapse all at once of the dollar. The debt continues
to pile up and pile up, and pile up and
pile up, with no end in sight. And as it
piles up, what we will be is a less reliable
(32:04):
person to loan money to. You understand why people with
bad credit get higher interest rates, people with good credit
get lower interest rates. That's because people with bad credit
are risky. They're a riskier person to loan money to,
so you charge them more for that money. America is
already seeing higher interest rates because we need people to
(32:28):
buy our debt. The interest rates will go up. As
the interest rates go up, everything kind of snowballs on itself,
and the value of your dollar at the end of
the road goes down, your standard of living goes down.
You're in the middle of the US dollar collapse. I
don't waste as I don't waste as much time on
(32:49):
it as I used to do, just because no one cares.
Every time you get a Republican in there, Republican House,
Republican Senate, Republican president, you hold out some kind of
hope that there may be some kind of cut here there.
But there's just no interest in that at all. None.
There's no appetite for it. Everybody, every president, Republican and Democrat,
(33:13):
they all want to do big things. Oh we got
a trillion dollar I mean we had Trump bragging about it.
We got a trillion dollar defence budget, bragged about it. Uh,
Why we're thirty seven trillion dollars in debt and we're
not at war. Why do we need a trillion dollar
defense budget? That's insane. But again, no one cares what
(33:33):
I just said. I'll have a bunch of email. I'll
have a bunch of hatred. Oh you can't credit Trine, No, no, no,
I can. I absolutely can. Because as the dollar continues
to go down, your life will get worse. And as
your life continues to get worse, I'll keep getting emails
from people say I don't understand. I'm explaining it right now.
You cannot spend two trillion dollars a year more than
(33:54):
you take in as a government without the people themselves
getting smashed. You can't. But no one wants to cut it.
Senate doesn't money cut it. Either House doesn't want to
cut it. Democrats don't, Republicans don't. That's the point I've
made a thousand times, Chris. How many congressmen, senators, presidents,
how many have lost their reelection because they spent too
(34:16):
much money?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Zero?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Not one in my entire lifetime has lost because of that.
We've had incumbents who have lost. Don't get me wrong,
but that's never been the rallying cry of the people
who ran against them. People don't care. Jesse, happy birthday,
Oh please? That was yesterday. And you know, I don't
want to focus on the fact that I turned forty
(34:41):
four yesterday. I am not a selfish person. I'm a
person who makes it about others. So I'll say this Yesterday,
somehow it got out that it was my birthday, and
yesterday I had so much love pour in just emails
and texts and social media of people to tell me
(35:04):
how much I mean to them and stuff like that,
like this one started listening to you this year. You
had me at Red Lobster. I was in the work
truck and lost it. The void that rush left has
finally been filled. Political talk, but also funny in a historian,
you're the only one that has that. Thanks for making
my work day Hume alone. You get enough messages like
(35:25):
that on your birthday. Eventually you sit back and you
have a moment of self reflection and you realize, I'm
really important. I'm a huge, important celebrity. What Chris, Why
famous people going crazy? Chris, That's not me. I was
always like this, you know. That's That's at least what
(35:47):
Obbs says when when I or whenever I complain or
someone complains about something I've done, she always says, oh,
he's always been like this. I don't know why, Jesse,
I would visit uh, he said late night after I
would visit it an after work watering hole. But I've
decided to change my ways and find myself visiting high
end places like White Castle and even McDonald's instead, as
(36:11):
you say, as long as you're struggling, you're winning. He
might be baby steps now, but they are steps, nonetheless
in the right direction, one hundred percent true. You got
a vice you're trying to dump. If you have to
replace it with another one that's maybe not quite as bad,
then do it. March forward. I love White Castle. That
(36:33):
reminds me of that time I brought home those frozen
White Castle burgers and ob in a fit of rage
he giving the kids too much junk, threw them out. Chris, Yeah,
she threw them out. I'm still upset about the whole thing.
All right, let's talk briefly, very briefly about cobear getting canceled.
I don't care about that, but why do democrats Why
(36:56):
are democrats really rallying against that? Hang on,
