WEBVTT - Ask Dr. Jesse Friday 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.280 It is the Jesse Kelly Show, Final hour of The 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:08.319 Jesse Kelly Show. On a magnificent Friday. We have all 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.160 kinds of wonderful stuff this hour. We should touch on 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.080 a couple things really quickly, though, before we get back 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.919 to the question. Remember how many times we've had to 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.439 talk about people in politics, and I've told you that 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.240 so many of these people run for office and stay 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:27.360 in office at all levels because it gives these people 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:32.080 access to the things rich people have, only they don't 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.400 have the skills to acquire that wealth. So they get 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.120 elected and stay elected so they can live like that. 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.920 These people, and it's not just in Congress of the 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.519 United States Senate, all the way down to local levels. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.920 These people get elected and they stay elected. And what 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.720 sounds like a boring job in the pay isn't great, 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.880 but because they have access to the tax payer vault, 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.200 they have access to that big pot of gold funded 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.800 by you, and they give that access to other people. 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:12.280 Because they're corrupt scumbags, they receive a life that is 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.880 way outside of their means. Do you want an example here? 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.800 You go that the DELLMS Federal Building in Oakland, Brian 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.119 Hazevito pled guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wife fraud, 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.160 in effect depriving the public of its right to an 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.320 honest public official, and he pled guilty to lying to 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.280 FBI agents who interviewed him during a raid at a 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.720 San Leandro home January of last year. Prosecutors told the 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.759 judge the problems began with a ten day luxury trip 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.800 to Vietnam sponsored by David de Wong, owner of California 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.240 Waste Solutions, for some fifty people, including public officials. I 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.840 first showed you video of Ozovito toasting the entourage. Prosecutors 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.840 say the scheme soon hashed that Ozzevito would help the 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.400 Dwong family with their new company, Evolutionairerry Holmes, to sell 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.400 containers for the homeless to the city of San Leandro. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.640 Hows the fidel would get a percentage. He started an 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.040 LLC in his wife's name to hide the transactions and 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.799 accepted a two thousand dollars bribe from the Little Wongs 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:14.440 to fund it. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.400 Sounds like quite the criminal mastermind. Hey, I need to 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:24.400 take some bride money. I can't start the company. I'll 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.839 have my wife start the company. The FEDS will never 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:32.720 look there, but it's a common tale. It's easy to 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.640 make fun of Oakland because it's Oakland, but it's a 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:43.280 very common tale. You're a city councilman, your Board of supervisors, member, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.880 mayor state legislator. What they have is access to the 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:55.200 taxpayer vault, and if they don't have morals, well they'll 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.120 give people access to that. Hey, do you want to 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.320 come steal some of this taxpayer money? I would like 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.440 a luxury trip to Vietnam, though, five star accommodations please, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.760 and then when we get home, it's a little extra 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.720 cheddar cheese ends up in an envelope on my desk. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.920 That would be just fine too. Told you that story, 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.960 my friend and mentor, Michael Berry. I told you that, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.760 so I haven't told you it in a while. Michael 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:29.120 Berry was a mayor pro temp of Houston for a while. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.200 He's nationally syndicated radio host. I'm sure you know Michael Berry, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.000 and he's told the story on the air, so I 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.840 can tell it. He's Mayor pro temp of Houston, and 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.960 the airport here in Houston had a new construction job. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.560 You know, every airport's under construction at some point, had 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.040 a new construction job coming up. That was going to 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.880 be up to the City of Houston to hand that 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.280 contract out. A contractor gets a hold of Michael and says, hey, 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.240 love to buy you lunch or love to do lunch something. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.760 I don't know how the conversation went exactly, goes out, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.680 meets the guy for lunch. They lunch. It's all about 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.880 the wife and kids, live things like that. Lunch is done. 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.600 Guy hands Michael an envelope, turns around and leaves. Michael 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.520 opens up the envelope. It's full one hundred dollars bills. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.240 He freaks out, thinks like the FBI is there or 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.039 something like that. It's not. He didn't new corruption, runs 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.839 out of the restaurant and runs the guy down and 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.279 hands him the envelope back. Dude, take this. That's one 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:38.360 tiny example. This is how it works, and this is 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:43.720 why a big reason why these corrupt scumbags never leave office. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.039 As long as they are in office, they have a 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.640 key to that vault with your money in it. While 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.440 they have that key, they will be given lives that 0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:00.000 are well beyond what their salary earns, well well beyond 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.800 on what their own talentan could talent could ever be 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.120 able to achieve but because they're willing to give people 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:12.280 your money, they live like kings. Ten days in Vietnam. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.800 I'm just doing this off top of my head. By 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.920 the way, in case that sounds weird to you, Vietnam 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.000 is apparently a big tourist destination. Now. I don't think 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.840 I would want to go, but it's a big tourist 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.680 destination now. So ten days in Vietnam. If you're flying, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.280 I bet you a first class ticket to Vietnam costs 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.200 five thousand dollars. I bet you it's at least five 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.680 thousand dollars. Okay, you're staying. Let's go ahead and call 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:47.240 it ten nights. Let's assume the prices are reasonable, two 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.640 three hundred bucks a night probably, so we're flirting with 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.840 ten thousand dollars already all paid for before you be all. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.440 Chris looked it up eight to fifteen thousand dollars round trip. Okay, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.559 so I take that back. We're probably flirting. Let's be nice, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.719 fifteen thousand dollars just for a hotel room and your 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.360 first class tickets, before you've bought a meal, before you've 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.240 done any of the tourists things there, before you did 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.600 anything else. That's a twenty to twenty five thousand dollars vacation. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.160 Have you ever taken a twenty five thousand dollars vacation 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:28.919 in your entire life? Ever? Probably not. Do you have 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.880 any idea what you probably make working for the city 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.400 government of Oakland, even assuming they've jacked their salaries through 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.240 the roof, which I'm sure they have, sixty seventy eighty grand, 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.840 you don't make the kind of money it takes to 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:49.120 make to take a twenty five thousand dollars vacation. Oh, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.599 that's a very good point, Chris. It was for fifty people. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.640 How could somebody starting a private company fund a trip 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:58.040 like this? 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.599 At the Dellums Federal Building in oak Brian Azevito pled 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.400 guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wife fraud, in 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.440 effect depriving the public of its right to an honest 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.800 public official, and he pled guilty to lying to FBI 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.400 agents who interviewed him during a raid at a San 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.960 Leandro home January of last year. Prosecutors told the judge 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.720 the problems began with a ten day luxury trip to 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.960 Vietnam sponsored by David de Wong, owner of California Waste Solutions, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.000 for some fifty people, including public officials. I first showed 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.960 you video of Ozovito toasting the entourage. Prosecutors say the 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.560 scheme soon hashed that Ozevito would help the Dwong family 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:42.040 with their new company, Evolutionary Homes, to sell containers for 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.560 the homeless to the city of San Leandro. Alzevido would 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.840 get a percentage. He started an LLC in his wife's 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.080 name to hide the transactions and accepted a two thousand 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.280 dollars bribe from the Luongs to fund it. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.200 That's how it works. It's not just there, it's in 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:04.600 your town too. Jesse. As a menu whisper, how can 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.680 you tell what is on the menu when the menu 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:12.080 is a foreign language? Well, I speak foreign languages, says 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:18.600 his name is Ryan. Everybody knows that I dabble in Spanish. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.200 True story, though, I recently took my wife out to 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.360 a really nice Italian place here in Houston. It was 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.480 for her birthday. We went out, took her out to 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:32.160 an Italian place in Houston. Yeah, the whole menu was 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.480 in Italian and I had to flat out to apologize. 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.040 I had to pull out my phone and look up 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.960 all the words because I didn't know what anything was 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:45.120 what Chris? But it wasn't Olive Garden. Chris. It was 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.720 a nicer place than Olive Garden. I actually have some 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.920 nice places that I've gone to, all right, And anyway, 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.319 I don't like Olive Garden. Rob loves it. I'm more 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.120 of a red lobster guy, and I like Italian food. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.319 Olive Garden just always. It's not like it's gross. I've 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.040 eaten there a million times. The breadsticks are top notch, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.160 that Italian dressing is top notch. I always felt like 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.400 it kind of missed the mark. Does that make sense? Well, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.000 you know what, here's why miss the mark. I feel 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.320 like it's a little bland. Like if you walk into 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.120 a place like Applebee's, apple Bee's will give you some 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.040 flavor with things. Apple Bee's, why are you making that face? 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:35.720 What's funny? Chris? Applebee's makes an excellent chicken wing their 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.600 chicken faha to roll up. They didn't just serve a 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.679 ranch with it, They made a salsa ranch with it. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.040 Applebee's takes the time to add some flavor to something. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.560 Outback does this outback adds flavor to Why are you 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.080 making that face? Is a bloomin onion not Is that 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:59.480 not kosher? Is it kosher? Chris? Are you sure about that? Chris? 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.040 Have you looked into this, Chris? I don't think you 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.720 should eat lumin onions, Chris until you talk to your rabbi. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:12.000 Either way, out backle season things, Applebee's seasons, things, olive gardens, 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.760 kind of bland. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.400 a Friday. If you miss any part of the show, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.360 you can download at iheard Spotify iTunes and don't forget 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.200 to text a friend about it. Jesse, can you explain 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.760 this is about Pat Tillman. I've always felt that if 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.719 my son was killed in combat, I want to hear 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.400 that he died quote with his face toward the enemy. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.840 I'd rather not hear that he was a victim of 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.320 friendly fire. I deeply respect those who've given the ultimate sacrifice, 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.840 whether in peace or war, but I always felt it 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.800 was a tragic slap in the face to be told 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.600 that his loss was a result of someone's huge brain cramp. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.640 Murder by a comrade's one thing, but negligence, stupidity, or 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:04.560 fog of war are another. Your take, Let's talk about 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:11.120 the reality of life. A medal of Honor Monday. I 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.120 know you love it. I love it. Medal of Honor Monday. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.920 Every start of the second hour, every Monday, we honor 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.480 a hero who earns a medal of honor. And to 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.320 quote Ronald Reagan, he was talking about something similar but 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.120 not the same thing. I bet your mind plays a trick. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.840 I bet you when we discuss these stories some guys 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.800 jumping on grenades and stabbing Germans to death and things 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:45.760 like that, I bet you you picture someone older than 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.160 the guy who was actually doing it. These medals of 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:56.920 honor were earned by eighteen year olds, twenty one year olds, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:03.000 nineteen year oldswhelmingly, Yes, there are some older guys in there. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:12.880 Overwhelmingly these are young, young, young men, insanely young. Now 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:19.640 take that. Now take this. In boot camp, in Marine 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:25.520 Corps boot camp, they are not allowed technically to This 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.440 is what I went through. So this is twenty years ago. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.200 Keep that in mind. I don't know what's going on now, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.800 but when I went through Marine Corps boot camp, they 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:39.199 were not allowed technically to physically touch you anymore. They 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.480 can't just run up and slap you in the face anymore. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.400 Certainly you can't do it in front of other people. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.720 All right, take that for what it's worth. You can't 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:52.880 do that anymore with one gigantic exception. After you've worked 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.920 your way through Marine Corps boot camp, once you've gotten 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.679 far enough through Marine Corps boot camp, you will eventually 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:06.000 go to rifle qualification the rifle range. Now remember this, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.600 alrighty said they're eighteen nineteen year old kids. Not everybody, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.720 believe it or not, who goes to Marine Corps boot 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.240 camp is even vaguely familiar with firearms. I grew up 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.040 hunting with my dad. I was carrying a gun when 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.520 I was six years old. It was nothing new to me. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.439 But there were guys all over boot Camper. Maybe they'd 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.520 grown up in the city or something like that. No insult, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:32.480 They didn't know anything. You go to the rifle range 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.200 after class, after class, after class, and they're giving you 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.760 live AMMO every day. Certainly in the beginning we were 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.560 on the rifle range, there would be a recruit who 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:52.160 got physically body slammed. Why because no matter how many 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.280 lectures he got, he took that loaded weapon. You always 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.320 have to assume it's loaded, and he turned and you 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.360 almost always accidentally pointed it at the guy beside him, 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.120 pointed it behind him, pointed it somewhere, and the drill 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:13.480 instructor would physically tackle him immediately before the weapon could 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:20.720 go off. Now that's at a rifle range environment. Yes, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.920 it's stressful because it's boot camp. There's no question about that. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.520 Now let me take you off the rifle range. Let 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.760 me put you in the jungles of Guadalcanal, the mountains 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:38.760 of Afghanistan. You're in the hedgerows of France. You haven't 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:45.400 slept in two days, you're starving, you're scared. There's things 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.880 blowing up all around you. What they don't tell you 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.880 about combat is you can't ever hear anything because everything 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:59.280 is insanely loud, so you're basically deaf. It's smoky. They 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.600 don't show you this in the movies either, because you 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.920 can't do that with a camera. Nome would know what's 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.680 going on. The dust and the dirt and the smoke 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.720 and everything. You can't see. You freaking think half the time. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.680 You think there's ever gonna be a moment where someone 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.040 runs in front of another guy who's already shooting. When 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.400 someone's weapon jams in a high stress situation and he's 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.080 trying to unjam that weapon and he points it to 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.040 the guy next to him and pop it goes off. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.600 Think there's ever gonna be a moment when you're sitting 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.400 there in the Pacific and you know the last two 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:43.240 nights Japanese infiltraders have jumped into fighting holes and stabbed 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.640 your friends to death in the middle of the night. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.360 You think there's ever going to be a moment where 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.520 you hear somebody coming back to the line and instead 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.840 of waiting, you point and squeeze that trigger because you 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.560 don't want your guts hanging out that night. Only it 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.320 turns out it was your buddy who had dysent terry 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.880 and he didn't have a choice. He had to go 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.400 relieve himself. What they don't tell you and what they'll 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:14.880 never tell you about combat is a shockingly high percentage 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.360 of casualties come from your own men. It has always 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:24.360 been that way and it always will. Hey Chansy, jeez, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.160 can you please explain why the case of a missing 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.400 eighty four year old woman is enough to be leading 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.520 the news for two weeks? Is this? Look at the 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.520 shiny object here? Thousands of people go missing every year 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.640 in this country. What makes this more important? Than all 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.920 the important things going on in the world. Usually it's 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.240 say a prayer and move on. I don't mean to 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.320 be crass, but what's going on this His name is Gile. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:57.520 This is of course about Savannah Guthrie's mother who's been kidnapped. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.520 Who knows how that whole horrible story where he's going 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.080 to end. And I can't look. I can't yell at 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.959 you because I had the exact same thought. It's not 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.800 that I don't care about this woman. I don't want 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.840 anybody anywhere, certainly an old lady to be kidnapped. That's 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.760 freaking terrible. And I hope obviously praying for the family there. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:28.000 But why so much attention? But here's the reality we do. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:33.800 We are more fascinated by famous people and the things 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.359 that happen in their lives than we are by non 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.960 famous people. And that's not because we're worse than any 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.040 other groups who has ever existed. That's how the human 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:52.040 mind works. When the neighbor across the street develops a 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:57.160 drug problem, you maybe mention it. Maybe maybe you mention 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.000 it to your spouse that night, if you even care 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:05.919 enough to mention that. When Justin Bieber develops a drug problem. 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.159 You read about it in the magazines, you watch news 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.680 stories about it. It's plastered everywhere. Is it right now? 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:14.639 Is it fair? 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:15.040 No? 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.600 But that's always how it goes, and look for better 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:25.560 or worse. Let's keep that in mind. If if you 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.840 get a dui tonight, please don't drink and drive by 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:32.000 the way. But if you get a dui tonight, who's 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.439 ever gonna know? Maybe you'll get your name in the 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:40.240 local paper, maybe lord will and your employer doesn't find 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.639 out or whatnot. But who's ever gonna know? I I 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.880 have a buddy a few years ago. He had developed 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.200 quite a drinking problem, so no one was surprised when 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.400 this happened. But three am, coming home from the bar 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.720 Saturday night, he was doing like ninety five and a 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:01.200 forty five. Lucky didn't kill anybody whom gets pulled overbusted, DUI. 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.199 I tell you this story because he stopped drinking after that. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.080 He hasn't had a drink of alcohol since. Really turned 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.160 his life a round. Was really wonderful story, happy ending, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:15.240 wonderful story. But he got that, DUI. If he hadn't 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.760 told me, I would never ever ever have known? How 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:20.640 would I know that? I had no idea even got 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.760 it one. What would I know. I'm not out at 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.080 three am. I've been asleep for about six hours. Would 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.560 I know if I got a DUI, you'd probably know 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.919 about it tomorrow. That's the way life works. The bigger 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.520 the platform, the more people are going to cheer for you, 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.000 the more people are going to feel sad when something 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.400 bad happens. Uh for talking about me, Well, my dad 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.040 died not last year, but at the end of the year, 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:48.440 about a year ago, little more than a year ago, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.280 maybe a year four months ago. Lost my dad. The 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:57.399 outpouring from you was amazing. I don't know that I 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.879 ever told you that, by the way, because I couldn't have. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.320 I was worried I wouldn't do that well on the air. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.439 But thank you. It meant the world to me. And 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:11.359 there were times did you know this? Chris would separate those, 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:16.119 separate those emails from the others, and I had to 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.320 stop reading them before the show. But what I would 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.199 do I read them all. I would put them in 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.280 a separate stack underneath my car keys here in the studio, 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:27.960 and I would take them home for me after the 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.760 show was done. So I wanted to do a good show, 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.800 and I know last year was probably heavier than normal 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.760 because I was just in a heavier place. But I 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.280 would take them home after the show, and it would 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:38.920 be therapeutic for me. I would take them home and 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.080 i'd read them all. I'd sit down at the counter 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:42.560 when I got home, and i'd sit down and i'd 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.280 read your emails. It meant a lot to me, I 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.920 should know. But I'm also mindful of this, and I 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.720 remain mindful of this. People lose their dads all the time, 0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:00.240 people lose their moms all the time. My dad isn't 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.840 more important to me than your dad is to you 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.640 or your mom is to you. I got all this 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.600 and this prayer and outpouring of support, and I don't 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:14.600 deserve that anymore than you deserve that. In a way, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.639 that's not fair, right, it's not fair, but it's also 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.359 how life goes. I also think this, because we're not 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.800 going to change how people think. I think there is 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:31.119 a benefit in stories that can become examples for others. Now. 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.280 I don't want to use a kidnapping story that way 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.520 because it's all so terrible. But I brought up the 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.760 other night that my mom, my mom, who's an older 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.320 lady obviously lost her husband, my dad, a lot long ago. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.600 My mom has personalized this for my mom. She can't 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.400 get enough of this story, not in some I'll give 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.159 me the gossip thing like her heart is broken. She 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:02.560 very clearly sees herself in that. My mom, as a result, 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:08.040 has taken her personal security more seriously than she already did. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.600 Now she was already good there. She has big dogs, 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.640 guns and things that my mom's fine. Bit she's taken 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.960 it up anach even, which is music to my ears. Jesse. 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.760 We enjoyed the All American halftime show. When I posted 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.920 in our family chat about the English translation one of 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.200 the songs sung in the super Bowl the halftime show, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.439 apparently this bad bunny guy sang a song that was 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:37.160 unbelievably vulgar. It was just done in Spanish, so nobody 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:40.239 but me knew it was very graphic and not at 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:46.080 all appropriate for all ages. My liberal daughter commented this quote, 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.399 I just think it's such a performative joke that it 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.960 was even a thing. Literally, just a bunch of racist 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.840 white people mad that the super Bowl would be in Spanish. 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.960 What should I say in reply this guy? Or is 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:12.480 it even worth it. Your daughter has been taken in 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:17.360 by a cult. You need to think about her that 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:23.359 way and treat her in that way. Don't belittle her. 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.159 Are you going to argue with her to get her 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.560 out of the cult? Do you think you're going to 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.119 argue her out of the cult? I say this to 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.200 parents all the time when they lose a child, and 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.400 you know how it goes. You lose your daughter in college, 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.120 You lose your son when he marries one. You want 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.280 to lose your daughter to communism, Send her off to 0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:47.800 wherever she wants to go. You want to lose your son, 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.920 let him marry one. That's the way it goes. Does 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:57.680 not mean they're gone forever, but it does mean temporarily 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.840 they are in a cult. They have a completely separate 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:07.160 belief system. Their minds have been shattered by this cult. 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:11.960 How do you get people out of a cult? Love, 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:16.440 You stay close to them. You don't affirm the ridiculous 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.680 things they believe. You don't start agreeing with them. That's 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:20.800 not how you get people out of a cult. But 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:25.000 you just always reinforce to them. You are there for 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.720 them if they ever have a moment where they want 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.639 to talk or they need help, or they're questioning things. 0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:34.560 You'll be there for them. I know how well. I 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:36.639 don't know because it hasn't happened to me. Lord Willing, 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.840 it doesn't. But I can imagine how bad it hurts 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:44.960 to lose your child to the demonic religion of communism. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.040 It has to hurt deeply. And my heart breaks for 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.480 you because I love my little buddies so much, and man, 0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.879 if they hated me, gosh, it would gut me. It 0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:59.439 would just gut me. You're not going to yell at 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:01.960 them to get a out of it. You're not going 0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.440 to argue their way out of it. Be there for him, 0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.400 keep praying for him, try to pull him. 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:08.520 Out of. 0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:14.320 Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of Jesse Kelly's show on 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.960 Unasked Doctor Jesse Friday, Do not forget. You can email 0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:21.919 us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We are of 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.399 course going to be back on Monday to do Medal 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:29.639 of Honor Monday and so many other things. This was 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:34.040 David Muir on ABC News. Listen to this tonight. 0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:37.520 President Trump has repealed US power to regulate climate in 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.119 this country. The President officially rejecting the science and what 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.159 this now clears the way for critics tonight arguing this 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:46.920 is not only dangerous for the environment but for your health. 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.280
