Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show kit, The Jesse Kelly Show,
another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday,
an incredible Monday, because it's Medal of Honor Monday. Of course, yeah,
we have some other stuff. We'll do some politics this hour.
I actually want to do a couple of these ghost

(00:31):
stories this hour, some other things if you don't mind.
But it's a Medal of Honor Monday time. Every single Monday,
at this time, we do the exact same thing for
the exact same reason. We have to remember the men
and remember the deeds, the men who built this country,

(00:52):
who did incredible things. We have to hold them up
in front of our children and say, look that that's
who you're trying to be, not the latest YouTube star.
That is who you're trying to be. And they are forgotten.
We don't know these names. They're not celebrated in a
widespread fashion in our society anymore. So we take a

(01:14):
citation and we read it. You can do this in
your life, and I encourage you to do so. It's
not like I have some ownership of it. I didn't
do any of these things. Read it to your kids,
to your class, to your sports team you coach, and
you might just be surprised. Boys and girls tend to
eat this stuff up. This one we've done before, maybe once,

(01:36):
but it's been quite a while. This one's saying, remember
you can email love, hate, death threats or suggestions if
you have them, to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Mister Kelly appreciate Metal of Hour Mondays as well as
the one brave man enough or the one man brave
enough to call call them commings and traders a congestion

(02:00):
for Medal of Honor Monday. I remember reading about this
and either Readers Digest or Boy's Life over fifty years ago.
It's an amazing story, like so many others. Actually, it's
also kind of an air Force story, but not really.
I'm gonna play the Army music for it because it

(02:20):
was the Army Air Force back then, so that would
have been the same theme song. But this is US
Army Air Force and his name's Henry Irwin, Henry Eugene Irwin,
although they all called him red. Just a brief little
background on him. He tried to go to the pilot
route and washed out. That doesn't mean he wasn't tough enough.

(02:41):
For whatever it's There are a lot of things you
have to have to be a viilot that physically some
people simply do not have. But he moved on to
become a radio operator, and this was during World War Two. Remember,
flying on a bomber crew in World War Two was
a little different, a little different in that it was

(03:02):
one of the most dangerous things you could possibly do.
When we think about bomber crews today, not that we
in any way dog on their service, but today, with
the equipment we have, you're doing that above the clouds.
You're dropping bombs from above the clouds into a soda
can and you're flying away. Back then, it wasn't this way.

(03:26):
You were flying low. Fighters could catch you. It was
a dangerous profession, especially if you didn't have a fighter escort,
and actually read on this mission did not have a
fighter escort, which meant you were all alone. So here
he is Henry Eugene Read Irwin Hey honoring those who

(03:48):
went above and beyond. It's Medal of Honor Monday. He
was the radio operator of a B twenty nine airplane
that was a super fortress leading a group formation to
attack Koreama, Japan. He was charged with the additional duty

(04:10):
of dropping phosphorus smoke bombs to aid in assembling the
group when the launching point was reached upon entering the assembly,
I'll get to that in a moment. Upon entering the assembly,
aircraft fire and enemy fighter opposition was encountered. Among the
phosphorus bombs launched by Staff Sergeant Irwin, one proved faulty,

(04:32):
exploding in the launching choot and shot back into the
interior of the aircraft, striking him in the face. The
burning phosphorus obliterated his nose and completely blinded him. Smoke
filled the plane, obscuring the vision of the pilot. Staff
Sergeant Irwin realized that the aircraft and crew would be

(04:53):
lost if the burning bomb remained in the plane. Without
regard for his own safety, he picked it up, and,
feeling his way, instinctively crawled around the gun turret and
headed for the copilot's window. He found the navigator's table
obstructing his past his passage. Grasping the burning bomb between

(05:16):
his forearm and in his body, he unleashed the spring
lock and raised the table. Struggling through the narrow passage,
he stumbled forward into the smoke filled pilot's compartment. Groping
with his burning hands, he located the window and threw
the bomb out completely aflame. He fell back upon the floor.

(05:38):
The smoke cleared the pilot at three hundred feet pulled
the plane out of its dive staff. Sergeant Irwin's gallantry
and heroism above and beyond the call of duty saved
the life of his comrades. Now I need to just
cover a couple quick things upon the assembly area. The

(05:58):
assembly area, well, there are little logistical nerdy details that
I geek out on. Some people do not. For instance,
D Day. You of course know what D Day is,
the Normandy invasion. All those ships, all those troops, all
those things on the ships, but there's only so much shoreline.
They all didn't just leave at once in one big line.

(06:22):
If you dig into it, it's fascinating. They went out
to a designated area away from the shore. As the
ships would cast off, they'd be away from the shore.
And this was pre planned, ahead of time, pre organized.
They started sailing in a big circle, round and round
and round, and the circle grew as more and more

(06:44):
of the ships would assemble in the assembly area until
they were there, and then they would shove off. Fascinating. Right, Well,
let's go to air attacks, whether they be from a
ship or that was off of the case in the Pacific,
or from a base somewhere, no matter what, you want
to show up in some place in formation together. Well,

(07:06):
you're not all taking off together. There's only one runway
or two runways. You know what I'm saying. What do
you do? You have to get to an area at
some point, whether that be right away or some point
down the road, and you come up with an assembly area,
which brings us to why he was dropping the phosphorus
smoke bombs. They were smoke bombs, right, But how do

(07:28):
you create that much smoke? Something we still use today.
We had them in mortars, white phosphorus rounds. They burned
through everything. Now, just a couple more points I want
to make here. You already heard he's carrying it. He's
burning right when it struck struck him in the face
right away. How it said, It obliterated his nose. It
also seared his ear right off his body, right off

(07:51):
the bat boom, shattered nose, seared ear, plane is full
of smoke. It's I believe fourteen fifteen one hundred degrees hot,
majorly hot. These planes are not big, even the big
ones are not necessarily big. He's crawling through it with

(08:11):
a smoke filled bomb burning at fifteen hundred degrees. It's
burning him the whole time. He gets to a table
that's down, he knows he has to lift it to
get by. He cradles it in his forearm against his body.
What you should know and what doesn't come through during
the middle of honor citation is as he's cradling the
fifteen hundred pound phosphorus bomb to his body, it burns

(08:35):
through everything, including all of his flesh, down to his bones.
He gets to the neck to the co pilot's window,
he throws it out. He falls down, as it said,
a flame. His crew members rush him to try to
care for him. Every time they pull back his clothes,
the phosph the phosphorus sound like Joe Biden starts to

(08:58):
burn again because it burns whenever the oxygen hits it,
and you can't stop it. He landed with such severe
burns that this Medal of Honor citation. You know how
we were talking about how some of them take forty
fifty sixty years. It's crazy. He had his rushed why

(09:20):
the second they landed they told about his story of heroism.
They rushed his Medal of Honor citation because they were
so sure he was about to die. He was in
a hospital, cooked to a crisp, and they were all, hey,
we need his medal now, like we don't have tomorrow,
we need it right now. They got it approved, got
him his medal. The guy lived went on to serve

(09:45):
in support veterans the rest of his life. A grew
up poor, lost his father early, but a wonderful Christian
man who just wanted to serve others his whole life.
Red was his name. Who had the fortitude, golly, the
freaking pain tolerance of nothing else to hold a fifteen

(10:06):
hundred degree bomb burning through his ribs just to save
the other people. It is Crewe and that is why
we read Medal of Honor citations on Monday. And before
I get back to politics, I asked for a couple,
and you sent a couple. I got a couple ghost stories.
Shut up, Chris, We're doing those next the Jesse Kelly Show.

(10:32):
There it is the Jesse Kelly Show reminding you that wait,
I was about say tomorrow's an ask doctor Jesse Friday.
That's not true. Friday's an ask doctor Jesse Friday. So
it's all look tomorrow Friday virtually the same thing either way, love, hate,
death threats, whatever you want, give me emailed into Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. What Chris, You're right, Chris,

(10:57):
I'm a little bit out of sorts. Look, I have
to tell you before we get into the ghost stories
here and then we'll get back to politics. I have
to tell you something that hurt today. It hurt bad.
So here's a fact. You're gonna have to take this
from the menu, whisper. Mozzarella sticks are elite. Everyone knows it.
I know it, you know it. Even the health freaks. Now, ah,

(11:18):
the sato oils out. Shut up. Everyone likes mozzarella sticks.
But mozzarella sticks sticks are one of those things that
it's hard to get them right. You see, As I've
said many times before, not to take a sidetrack from
my sidetrack. A good A perfect cheeseburger. A perfect cheeseburger

(11:42):
is the pinnacle of food. It cannot be beaten by anything.
But we'll make it just about pizza. A perfect cheeseburger
is better than any slice of pizza you will ever get. However,
a perfect cheeseburger is very hard to come by. Overcooked,
undercooked bun is at right. A slice of pizza doesn't

(12:02):
have to be perfect to be yummy. You can get
a slice of pizza that's been under a heat lamp
all day long tastes totally fine. You get a burger
that's been in that kind of shape, you can't eat it.
You can't eat it. Right back to what we were
just discussing, there are many, many wonderful appetizers that can
be served at any temperature, but the perfect mozzarella stick

(12:29):
trumps all mozzarellisticks. However, they must be consumed during that
brief It's about thirty five seconds, that brief window after
their molten lava and before they become cold, rubbery trash.

(12:49):
You don't have very much time, So I consider myself
a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to Mozzarelli sticks.
That's how I know Red Lobster has some of the
best in the game. There's another. Don't shake your head, Chris,
there's another place locally. It's a burger joint. But of

(13:10):
course the menu whisper caught on to this some time ago.
They have amazing mazzarella sticks. I've been getting these for
quite some time. Today Me Jewish producer Chris, producer Corey.
We hadn't had this place in forever. I wanted to
keep it healthy, so I decided to go there solely

(13:31):
for the mozzarella sticks. They're off the menu, not even kidding.
I can't even order them anymore. Too many incidents, that's
what happens. It's ghost story time, Hi, Jesse. I've never
been interested in ghost stories, scary movies, or anything of
the sort. From two thousand and five to twenty seventeen,

(13:52):
I worked as a server at a hundred year old
family owned restaurant slash wedding venue that had several ghosts.
Hey you ready. Some would make themselves seen, while others
created mischief while staying invisible. I guess that would be
the right word. One of them was a man wearing
a top hat and a tuxedo. Gosh, I want a

(14:12):
top hat so bad. He was seen many times by
several employees throughout the years. The vision of him casually
standing in an empty ballroom caused more than one male
waiter to shriek like a woman. We had one employee,
a legit Mexican gang gang banger. The guy says he
had teardrops, tattoo and everything. Who while working late one

(14:33):
night on a ballroom renovation, saw the top hat wearing
Goes standing in the kitchen. He turned white as a sheet,
went back into the ballroom and told the boss I
go home now, Oh that's sweet. This might be real, Chris.
They go on. Another ghost was an older man in
a gray business suit. One late night, I was in

(14:54):
our smallest party room laying out supplies for the next day.
The room was empty and dark, with only the kitchen
lights shining through the partially open door. Gosh, I'm so
creeped out. The table I was standing at was in
front of the mirror, and when I looked up, I
could see the gentleman in the suit behind me on
the far side of the room. He was in profile

(15:15):
and holding a drink as if he was walking over
to talk to another party guest. Again, there was no
party and I was the only person in the dark room.
I did not stay for a chat. Why does nobody
never stay for the chat? Say something? The dude's got
a drink he wants to talk to somebody. And lastly,
the unseen ghosts like to cause mischief, knocking wedding cake

(15:39):
plates out of servers hands, knocking empty pots and pans
onto the floor in an empty kitchen, pulling the ponytails
of female servers, and opening and closing doors at random. Anyway,
it was an adventure. I saw and heard things over
the years that just cannot be explained with logic or reason.
I would tell new employees when they would ask me

(16:00):
about the subject. I don't know if ghosts surreal or not,
but if they do exist, we've got them. She didn't
say I could say her name, Chris Corey. Are we
anywhere closer to believing? I'm trying to believe. I know
you don't believe, Chris. I don't believe either, and I
want to. Every single thing I read, and you know

(16:21):
she's totally genuine. Every single thing I read sounds like
a bunch of crap to me. You know, the Mexican
gang banger turning totally white as a sheet. That doesn't happen,
all right, no matter what, there's a shade to the skin. What, Chris,
I'm talking about physics here or the human body, whatever,
we're talking about here. That's part of it. Two knocking

(16:42):
over wedding cakes. That's a clumsy waitress who's tripping over
the wedding cakes. Then coming up with the oh you stolen.
And lastly you're in a dark room with just the
light shining through the kitchen. That's the perfect creep out
scenario where you're gonna come up with in your mind
that there's a dude there sipping on a drink. But

(17:05):
she's you know, she's telling the truth. But I can't. Corey,
where are you at? No cors No, Corey is still
And now we need some NONCYNICX on this show. We
got to get some fruitcakes on the show. That'll help us.
What Chris we do, Let's get some fruits in here.
Speaking of fruits, your dog needs the vitamins and minerals
from rough greens on his food, because your dog doesn't

(17:26):
get vitamins and minerals and probiotics and things like that.
Your dog gets nothing from his food, is what I'm
trying to get across. Your cat gets nothing from the food.
Is it dried brown food, then there's no nutrition in it.
Dead things are brown. There's a reason the leaves turn
that color right before they fall off. They're dying. So

(17:48):
why do our dogs die so early? You know that's
not the case all around the world, and it hasn't
always been the case here. Our dogs die so early
because they don't get nutrition. I sprinkle Rough Greens on
Red's food every single meal, not just because it fixed
its digestive issues, which it did, thank you, probiotics. Not
just because it made his coat look better, but because

(18:09):
it's gonna help that fluffy idiot live longer. And that's
what we want. You want to try it free free
jumpstart trial bag eight three three three three my Dog,
or go to Roughgreens dot com, slash Jesse keep your
dog around Longer or your cat Hang on. Jesse Kelly

(18:33):
returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday.
Wishing everybody a very Mary on a beautiful Monday. We
are one week away from our nightmare being over one
week away, and these people are gonna be gone. Let's

(18:58):
catch up my mind about the boy. When I became president,
the numbers came way down. Number. Like I said, they're
simply going to lie about everything that was Joe Biden,
all right, So I have a concern, and it may
be completely unfounded. I'm gonna go ahead and lead with

(19:18):
that right there. Time will tell whether or not it's founded.
So my concern is about Pam Bondy. Who is Pam Bondy.
And just in case you're a norm or enormy, Bondy
is Trump's pick to be Attorney General to head up
the DOJ, the top law enforcement officer in the United

(19:41):
States of America. All right, now, I'll get to why
I'm concerned in a moment. Just a quick recap. It
is my belief that we cannot I don't care how
many elections we win, we cannot possibly get this country
right and back on the right track unless government people

(20:02):
go to prison. Not one or two either, Not some
patsy government people, lots of them have committed crimes with
their positions of power and have to go to prison
as an example to other government people to mind their
p's and ques. That is what I believe. Maybe you

(20:23):
argue with me, maybe you love that I don't care,
but I believe that all the way that I've said,
it'll be our canary in the coal mine that America
is getting its act together. When you start seeing government
people go to prison. So why haven't they Because what
I just said you probably agree with. But I'll tell
you right now, a lot of people with a lot

(20:45):
of power also agree with what I just said. I'm
talking United States senators I've talked to privately. We're having dinner,
we're hanging out. Yes, Jesse, these people have to go
to prison. Congressmen, not just some freshmen. Congressmen either, Congressmen
with real power agree, Yes, they have to go to prison.

(21:07):
FBI agents, current and former agree with me. Government people
have to go to prison, over and over and over again, spooks,
military people, guys. I know government people have told me yes,
they have to go to prison. So if all these
powerful people agree government people have to go to prison,

(21:28):
why aren't there any government people in prison? Or I
should say not many. Yeah. I realized they'll roll out
a scooter Liberty scooter Libya every now and then and
blame everything on him. But why have there been no
announcements that there's a twenty person staying of government officials
who've been caught abusing their Why has it never happened?

(21:50):
Because the Department of Justice is where it must happen,
That's where it must come from you see last time,
which I think was last week, I think it was
wrong Johnson I was talking to. I asked Senator Ron Johnson,
why are none of these people in prison? And he said,
and he wasn't wrong, Jesse. All I can do is
refer them to the DOJ for prosecution. From there, even

(22:13):
as a United States senator, all that power, I can't
do anything else from there. If the DOJ chooses not
to prosecute, they never get prosecuted. The Department of Justice
is the shield protecting the swamp we like to call

(22:34):
it the swamp, or the deep state, or the system,
whatever you want to call it. The system is protected
by the Department of Justice. So why am I apprehensive
about PAMBONDI doesn't make sense because her reputation is excellent.
And I've talked to many people I trust you should know,

(22:56):
and they've told me she got a great reputation. I
think she might do some good. I've been told that
many times before. Okay, well, the Washington Post, they're one
of the more evil publications out there. The Washington Post,
New York Times, CNN. They could probably have a big
old brawl to see which is the more despicable communist

(23:20):
news outlet. That's how gross the Washington Post is. The
Washington Post came out this morning and the Washington Post
announced they had some grave concerns about these four Trump
nominees four Gabbard, Tulsea Gabbard, of course, hag Seth, Pete
hagg Seth his confirmation hearings tomorrow, R FK Junior, and

(23:44):
Russ Bott. Only four, but you know who they weren't
concerned with. In fact, they gave her a thumbs up.
Pam Bondy. Now, I don't want to base my criticisms
or compliments based on just well, well, let's just do

(24:05):
whatever the opposite of Washington Post says. I don't want
to base it on just that. So again, I don't
want to act like this. At the end of the world,
Pam Bondy might end up being a rock star. But
Pam Bondy, she has to be more than a good ag,
a Republican ag. She has to be more than that.

(24:29):
Pam Bondy must absolutely must see herself as a crusader
whose job it is to go after government people. That
is not just some side project. That has to be
her main focus. The Washington Post they want the swamp

(24:52):
to get swampier, the deep State, to get deeper, whatever
way you want to put it. They are so dirty
as dirty gets, with ties to the Deep State all
over the place. Why is the Washington Post concerned about
Pam bond or not concerned about Pambondy. It's not hard

(25:13):
to figure out why they're concerned about Pete Hegseth. Pete
hag Seth has been very vocal about his intention to
shake things up at the Pentagon, to completely gut the
military of so much of this Marxist filth. Pete hagg
Seth has been loud and proud about that. The Washington

(25:34):
Post said, oh, Man, I can't have that. Tauci Gabbard,
Taulci Gabbard has loudly talked about the evil abuses of
our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Taulca Gabbert herself was
put on a domestic terrorist watch list because she got
crossways with the President of the United States.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
It's worse than ridiculous, Sean. It is absolutely despicable and
outrageous when you look at the President of the United
States of America calling millions of Americans essentially terrorists, people
who politically opposed him, are voted against him. He's calling
them terrorists in an attempt to intimidate them into silence.
And we know this is because we've heard this before

(26:15):
from both him and his attorney general. You'll remember when
when his attorney general said, you know anyone who holds
extreme mystery.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
No, we can't have Tulca Gabbert. According to the Washington
Post or FK Junior, same thing, whether you love him
or Adam has some very big ideas for America's pharmaceutical industry,
America's food industry. He wants to go in and shake
things up. He wants to go in and turn the
guns inward, if you will. Washington Post says, no, gosh, jeez,

(26:46):
we can't have that, psycho. But the lady who's taking
over the most important position by a mile, by a
mile is Pam Bondi, head of the DOJ, and the
Washington Post gives her a thumbs up. Let's talk about

(27:08):
the DOJ. Here was Andrew Weisman on MSNBC.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
So we really could be entering a lawless world. It
remains to be seen. It's going to be a real
challenge for those people in the Department of Justice when
you have a convicted felon as the president that it
remains to be seen that it is a scary prospect,
especially when you're thinking about the January sixth defendants.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
People who work currently at the DOJ, they're very, very
concerned about the insurrection from January sixth. Plus Trump is
a convicted felon. This is how deep the swamp is
at the DOJ. Does Pam Bondy Washington Post approved? Does
she have what it takes to clean out Washington without her?

(27:58):
Doesn't matter what Trump wants, what the Senate wants. Without
her leading the charge, the deep state don't get drained.
We will see how that works out. Let's do some emails.
Before we do some emails, let me tell you about
these disgusting smoothies OB makes every single morning. They are

(28:19):
so foul because they're so full of all this healthy garbage.
It's got kale and all this other garbage, and besides
the chocolate powder that goes in there, there's nothing else
in there that is even decently tasting. So how do
I get it down? Well, it has to be blended completely.
That's the only way I can plug my nose and
gut down this big ball of vegetable filth. And that's

(28:40):
where the Obliterator from Chefman comes in. The Obliterator is
the greatest freaking blender ever. It's built to handle twenty
years of daily use, twenty years, and it looks good.
Ob keeps nothing on the counter. As I've told you,
I'm not allowed to keep the stupid toaster on the counter.
But the obliterator never moves. It looks good, it's affordable,

(29:01):
and it's the only thing that can grind down that
disgusting smoothie into being something that's palatable. Go freaking get one.
Chefman dot com, C H E F M A N
dot com. We'll be back. You're listening to the Oracle.
You love this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse

(29:22):
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
What's in it Again? On a Friday, on a Monday.
It's been a medal of honor Monday. Remember you can
if you missed any part of the show, you can
down the whole down the whole thing on Iheartspotify iTunes.
You can email the show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.

(29:44):
That's if I actually get through the show anyway. Your
freedom is not free, Jesse. I'm sure. I'm sure you've
addressed this on your radio show. In recent days, I
found out there's a partition petition circulating for LA Mayor
Karen Bass to resign immediately and be replaced with a
solid man of courage like Larry Elder or someone like that.

(30:04):
If you haven't already, you talk about this on your show. Okay,
so listen, I have a couple of things I want
to talk about when it comes to these things. Hey
there's a recall, Hey there's a resign this or that one.
I don't dog on anyone's political efforts because I believe

(30:27):
everything matters. I hate when people on the right do this.
They'll point to what this guy's doing and say, ah,
that's stupid, it's not enough. You should do what I'm doing.
Or they'll point to what this woman's doing and say,
I don't like that, you should do this instead. No,
the communists come at political problems from every possible angle,

(30:48):
every angle you can get. So if you're involved politically,
maybe you feel hard, Maybe you feel feel called to
run for office, run for office good. Maybe maybe you
don't feel like that's your call. I've told you my mom.
My mom is with this wonderful group of ladies from
her church, political activists up there in Montana. They send

(31:11):
letters on behalf of candidates. They put addresses on letters,
they send out mailers, they knock on doors. That's what
they feel called good. We have people who listen to
this show and many who don't, but they write political music.
There are people who make political movies. There are people
who just donate financially. Baby, you got a lot of money,

(31:32):
but I don't dog on your political activism. Just be active.
Our problem is not that people are doing the wrong things.
Our problem is we haven't woken up enough people to
do anything. That's our problem. Now, that's it. The solution

(31:53):
to problems in these blue areas really all the country,
but we'll make it about the blue area for now.
The solution is not getting the current loser to resign
or be recalled. Very similar to my anti term limits argument.

(32:14):
The solution is not to have some law or some
trigger or some recall petition bounce one of these losers
out of office. That is a temporary fix. That's like
finding out you have a massive brain tumor and instead
you just take ibuprofen. For the headache. But where's that

(32:35):
get you? Gets you a few hours of relief, but
you're still in trouble. Jack. The problem in these areas
is people aren't waking up owning the political decisions they've
made and deciding they're going to do things differently in
the future. Back to what the La Times owner says.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Chris, well, we'll except Pumblain right. So at the early
times we Endorsecar and Bass. I think right now in front,
that's a mistake, and.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's not a mistake. You looked at the communist radical
because she was a diversity higher you chose to endorse
her over the smarter, more capable democrat who was running
against her. It wasn't a mistake. It was a conscious choice.
If you dismiss it as a mistake, then next time

(33:30):
you'll make the same mistake. If instead you look and say,
I chose wrong for the wrong reasons, and I will
do things differently the next time. Now, that is the
path to getting yourself right, to getting things right. Don't
you run into this in your life. I know I've
run into this in my life when I've had bad

(33:52):
periods of time in my life, for lows in my life,
which I certainly have as you have. We all have
ups and downs. That's kind of what life's about, peaks
and valleys. Virtually every single one of my valleys has
been my fault. And you know what's been very very
consistent during every one of my valleys, During every one
of them, at the beginning of the valley, I will

(34:15):
blame everybody else but me, and probably not coincidentally, about
the time I stop doing that and start owning my
own decisions and my own mistakes, I come out of
the valley and I improve myself. This must take place
in mass across the United States of America with people

(34:39):
who are watching their complex systems crumble around them. You see,
I'm all down for throwing all the monkey poop you want,
you know, not literally, but throwing all the monkey poop
you want at Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom and Joe
Biden and these guys suck, and I hate him, and
let's recall him. A fine, fine, fine, make fun of them,

(35:00):
get them to resign. But replacing Karen Bass with the
next diversity hire is not a solution at all. You
didn't solve a single thing in New York City. Some
woman gets torched alive by an illegal Are the people
of New York City going to own that and decide

(35:23):
going forward, they're going to vote differently so that kind
of thing doesn't happen again. That is the only way
to save New York City and Los Angeles wildfire destroying
the city, huge neighborhoods. People are sick over it. They've
lost family members, friends, homes, pets, devastation, financial devastation too,

(35:47):
not just loss of life. And they've watched everyone from
the governor to the mayor do nothing about it but
make excuses, pass to blame. Okay, it's bad, it's bad.
It's bad. But who fault is it? Those people are there? Okay, look,
I'm not saying that to just you know, to be
glib about it. Whose fault is it? Those people were there?

(36:10):
It's everyone who voted Democrat. Are the people who voted
Democrat going to stop doing that from now on? That's
really the only thing that matters. Go ahead, get Karen
Bess to resign. Fine, not like I'm cheering for. I
can't stand her. Get her to resign. That's no solution.
The solution, the real, lasting solution, is making sure the

(36:32):
voters change their behavior right. Speaking of changing behavior, this
is something that I have. I've gotten a unique appreciation
for recently of not putting things off. I'm talking about

(36:54):
with friends and family members, not putting things off. You
need to get your photos digitized. You need to get
your VHS tapes, the Camquarder tapes. You need to get
that stuff digitized. And not next year. You don't have time.
You don't know if you have time. You don't have time,

(37:15):
though you have to act like you don't. You need
to get a hold of Legacy Box, especially while you're
saving fifty percent, and you need to ship them a
box of your videos and your pictures so they can
be kept forever. I would kill right now. They're doing
it for me already. But man, I wished I had

(37:36):
already had all kinds of digital pictures of my own man,
and all those little iPhone videos. I just I wish
go to Legacy box dot com slash Jesse now, not
next year, now, Legacy box dot com slash Jesse. We'll
be back.
