WEBVTT - The Escalating Cost of Living 0:00:00.230 --> 0:00:04.170 It is the Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:08.580 Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday. So we'll finish 0:00:08.660 --> 0:00:11.560 up our little immigration talk. We'll make fun of communists 0:00:11.660 --> 0:00:15.040 lying about everything all the time, the world of make-believe, 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.890 all that. A, quote, shocking study that's not at all shocking, 0:00:20.270 --> 0:00:22.750 and so much more coming up in the second hour 0:00:22.850 --> 0:00:26.070 of the Jesse Kelly Show. So one final word just 0:00:26.210 --> 0:00:30.810 on this immigration topic we just had. We are just 0:00:31.210 --> 0:00:36.340 now beginning to have public opinion turn in our favor 0:00:37.620 --> 0:00:40.700 that we want foreigners out of the country. We are 0:00:40.900 --> 0:00:45.059 just now beginning it. We are not at the end. 0:00:46.229 --> 0:00:48.510 And you can tell because there are still so many 0:00:48.590 --> 0:00:51.650 politicians in this country who speak like this. Our American 0:00:51.690 --> 0:00:57.500 economy runs on immigrant labor. It certainly does in the Hamptons. 0:00:58.100 --> 0:01:03.580 Ultra-exclusive Hamptons Yacht Club is forced to cancel restaurant service 0:01:04.020 --> 0:01:08.000 after foreign kitchen staff got kicked out of the United 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.110 States of America. My neighbor, my neighbor two nights ago, 0:01:13.150 --> 0:01:15.550 I forgot to tell you this yesterday, my neighbor two 0:01:15.610 --> 0:01:20.830 nights ago, the wife stopped off. They were out walking, 0:01:20.870 --> 0:01:26.090 you know, exercise. They were out walking. And started complaining 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.200 to ob that her landscaper wasn't showing up to Mo. 0:01:31.060 --> 0:01:33.920 And so she called him and said, where are you? Yeah. 0:01:34.459 --> 0:01:37.860 All his people got deported. All his people got deported. 0:01:39.170 --> 0:01:44.130 The United States of America for decades has come to 0:01:44.209 --> 0:01:49.590 rely on the dangerous addicting drug of the importation of foreigners. 0:01:49.790 --> 0:01:53.820 And it's going to take time to break that addiction. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.880 If you've been getting blackout drunk every night. for 15, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.760 20 years, you can't wake up one day and say, 0:02:03.900 --> 0:02:05.660 I'm done. I mean, maybe you can if you have 0:02:05.700 --> 0:02:08.920 some kind of superhuman willpower, but that's the kind of 0:02:08.980 --> 0:02:11.740 thing where you got to go park it in rehab 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.550 for two or three weeks, and even then you might 0:02:14.590 --> 0:02:18.090 relapse and have to go back. It's going to take time. 0:02:18.570 --> 0:02:22.530 In the United States of America, we have become addicted 0:02:22.610 --> 0:02:26.669 to the mass importation of foreign slave labor. It's going 0:02:26.710 --> 0:02:30.410 to take time to break the addiction. But headlines like 0:02:30.470 --> 0:02:34.040 this make you feel good. ICE arrested a record number 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.240 of people without criminal records in the summer enforcement surge. 0:02:38.660 --> 0:02:42.040 New data shows. Of course, that's CBS News trying to 0:02:42.100 --> 0:02:45.080 turn you against it and complain about it. But I 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.720 say that's a good thing. I say that's a very, 0:02:47.780 --> 0:02:52.139 very good thing. We are just getting going. And that's awesome. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:59.600 What's not awesome is this. The ease and frequency with 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:04.560 which communists lie. I know it. I talk to you 0:03:04.620 --> 0:03:09.070 about it all the time. And still, I'm just floored 0:03:09.250 --> 0:03:15.370 by it. How brazen it is. This is, she apparently 0:03:15.430 --> 0:03:18.910 makes a bunch of content for children that's very popular. 0:03:19.110 --> 0:03:23.400 Her name is Miss Rachael. She's also a card-carrying communist, 0:03:23.500 --> 0:03:27.980 an absolute communist. This is her talking about this incident 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.100 in North Carolina. 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.820 Please listen to the black community. Black people don't hang 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.060 themselves from trees. 0:03:34.300 --> 0:03:39.060 Yeah. Dude was found hanging from a tree. Miss Rachel 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.690 just told her legions of followers that black people don't 0:03:42.750 --> 0:03:45.970 hang themselves from trees. I think we should check in 0:03:46.010 --> 0:03:50.650 with the Raleigh, North Carolina police chief. Hey, chief! What 0:03:50.660 --> 0:03:51.230 happened here? 0:03:51.270 --> 0:03:56.130 At 1.59pm, video shows the young man carrying an electrical 0:03:56.170 --> 0:03:59.650 cord walking towards the tree by himself. 0:04:04.590 --> 0:04:12.700 By himself, huh? He goes on to explain that he 0:04:12.900 --> 0:04:17.719 approached it by himself, hung himself, and it's all on camera. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.470 But The point of all this is not some horrible, 0:04:21.930 --> 0:04:26.950 tragic incident out of North Carolina. The lie, the brazen, 0:04:27.210 --> 0:04:31.060 blatant lie has already been put out there. They just 0:04:31.220 --> 0:04:35.700 lie about everything all the time. And they do it 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.220 on purpose. And they do it because it keeps stupid, 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:44.020 gullible people trapped in a world of make-believe. And that 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.450 world of make-believe inspires them to do and say the 0:04:48.490 --> 0:04:51.909 most despicable things in the world to fight back against 0:04:51.970 --> 0:04:56.970 something that isn't even real. They just lie all the time. 0:04:57.029 --> 0:05:02.650 Here's one. Free Beacon says Soros-funded fake news site falsely 0:05:02.790 --> 0:05:07.990 identified Abdul El-Sayed as a veteran in a mailer sent 0:05:08.070 --> 0:05:11.250 to Michigan voters. If he's not a veteran and people 0:05:11.330 --> 0:05:14.320 are worried he might be some kind of anti-American piece 0:05:14.380 --> 0:05:18.620 of crap, just lie. You just lie all the time. 0:05:19.020 --> 0:05:24.849 And so many people in this country, the communists, are 0:05:24.940 --> 0:05:28.270 trapped in that bubble and they actually don't even know it. 0:05:29.310 --> 0:05:32.650 And being trapped in the bubble only makes them more 0:05:32.730 --> 0:05:35.650 rabid and violent because they only talk to other people 0:05:35.690 --> 0:05:40.050 who are rabid and violent. And when they come into 0:05:40.150 --> 0:05:44.030 contact with any kind of a normal human being, they're 0:05:44.110 --> 0:05:47.130 shocked that these types of people exist. You want an example? 0:05:48.870 --> 0:05:52.430 Kathy Griffin. Maybe you know who she is. She's some 0:05:52.470 --> 0:05:56.830 D-list comedian. It's not important. Long past their prime of 0:05:56.890 --> 0:06:00.870 comedy and things like that. But, of course, surprise, surprise, 0:06:01.130 --> 0:06:05.150 huge left-wing comedy. All right, we got it. During Donald 0:06:05.190 --> 0:06:11.120 Trump's first presidency, Kathy Griffin posted online, you can go 0:06:11.140 --> 0:06:13.919 look at it to this day, a picture of her 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:21.150 holding up Donald Trump's severed head. President of the United 0:06:21.210 --> 0:06:25.450 States of America, Kathy Griffin posts an obviously fake picture 0:06:25.930 --> 0:06:30.380 of her holding up Donald Trump's severed head. Now, pause 0:06:30.420 --> 0:06:33.320 for a moment. It would never occur to me to 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:38.220 do so, but when Joe Biden was president, if I 0:06:38.380 --> 0:06:42.140 sat down and had Jewish producer Chris come up with 0:06:42.180 --> 0:06:46.980 some AI picture of me holding up the severed head 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.850 of Joe Biden, Before I ever put that picture online, 0:06:51.870 --> 0:06:56.250 it would be widely known and I'm sure widely discussed 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.080 here in the studio of, you know, this is going 0:06:59.100 --> 0:07:01.560 to cause a lot of outrage, right? People are going 0:07:01.580 --> 0:07:04.340 to be really, really mad about this. At least a 0:07:04.380 --> 0:07:07.080 certain percentage of the population, they're going to be horrified. 0:07:07.100 --> 0:07:09.560 They're going to be whatever. That would just be understood. Now, 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.850 I would never post a picture like that. But if 0:07:11.930 --> 0:07:14.690 I was tempted to do so, I would understand full 0:07:14.730 --> 0:07:18.510 well that would be controversial. Yeah, here's Kathy Griffin talking 0:07:18.530 --> 0:07:19.230 about that decision. 0:07:19.250 --> 0:07:21.610 There is a chilling effect that happens when Donald Trump 0:07:21.650 --> 0:07:25.710 targets every media company, every single law firm that disagrees 0:07:25.750 --> 0:07:28.090 with him. People don't want to take the opposing side. 0:07:28.130 --> 0:07:29.810 That's fascism. It's silencing people. 0:07:30.180 --> 0:07:35.660 Well, I actually was a victim of that myself in 0:07:35.660 --> 0:07:39.020 2017 when I released a controversial photo that I thought 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.850 everyone else would agree with me, and I was very, 0:07:41.890 --> 0:07:42.490 very wrong. 0:07:42.510 --> 0:07:52.450 I thought everyone else would agree with me? Donald Trump 0:07:52.490 --> 0:07:58.030 was President of the United States of America, meaning roughly... 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.470 Half the country, at least, more than half, just voted 0:08:01.530 --> 0:08:04.530 for him to be president of the United States of America. 0:08:05.770 --> 0:08:09.170 Kathy Griffin thought she could hold up his severed head 0:08:09.190 --> 0:08:14.840 and it would have universal agreement. She thought she could, 0:08:14.860 --> 0:08:17.720 you could hear the shock in her voice. She was stunned. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:18.920 There was pushback. 0:08:18.940 --> 0:08:21.500 There's a chilling effect that happens when Donald Trump targets. 0:08:21.830 --> 0:08:23.010 Chilling. Absolutely chilling. 0:08:23.090 --> 0:08:25.470 There is a chilling effect that happens when Donald Trump 0:08:25.510 --> 0:08:29.570 targets every media company, every single law firm that disagrees 0:08:29.590 --> 0:08:31.950 with him. People don't want to take the opposing side. 0:08:31.990 --> 0:08:33.740 That's fascism. It's silencing people. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:39.540 Well, I actually was a victim of that myself in 0:08:39.540 --> 0:08:42.920 2017 when I released a controversial photo that I thought 0:08:43.020 --> 0:08:45.720 everyone else would agree with me. And I was very, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.360 very wrong. 0:08:46.380 --> 0:08:46.550 But.... 0:08:49.370 --> 0:08:50.670 Everyone doesn't agree with it? 0:08:50.950 --> 0:08:51.329 No, no. 0:08:51.610 --> 0:08:54.590 Here's his severed head. Why does she think like that? 0:08:54.670 --> 0:08:58.250 Because every single person in her life speaks that way. 0:08:59.490 --> 0:09:02.939 As I have explained over and over again, the average 0:09:03.020 --> 0:09:08.200 Democrat now is violent. Certainly the ones who live in 0:09:08.340 --> 0:09:12.700 blue areas. Because when they get with their Democrat friends, 0:09:13.140 --> 0:09:17.170 this is how they all talk. I wish he'd die. 0:09:17.570 --> 0:09:20.670 I hope someone kills him. I'm glad he got shot. 0:09:21.010 --> 0:09:24.079 Hopefully they hit the next time. That's why you get 0:09:24.140 --> 0:09:29.380 story after story after story about somebody violent doing something violent. 0:09:29.620 --> 0:09:34.360 Armed man arrested at Trump National L.A. golf course had 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:41.709 208 notebook pages detailing the First Lady's schedule. How many 0:09:41.750 --> 0:09:45.890 other people out there are plotting something terrible? Because they 0:09:45.950 --> 0:09:50.079 are trapped in this doom loop of communist violent evil. 0:09:51.620 --> 0:09:54.800 And they're stunned the rest of the world doesn't happen 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.790 to agree. Something to think about. All right. Let's knock 0:09:58.850 --> 0:09:59.590 out some emails. 0:09:59.670 --> 0:09:59.929 Oh, whoa. 0:10:00.330 --> 0:10:03.709 We will mention this Gavin Newsom thing really quickly. Then 0:10:03.750 --> 0:10:05.860 we'll knock out some emails. In fact, before we talk 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.880 about Gavin Newsom, that's a perfect opportunity. We don't need 0:10:08.940 --> 0:10:12.160 any more low-T politicians. We don't need any more low-T 0:10:12.179 --> 0:10:14.280 men in the United States of America. And we have 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.980 legions of them. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.070 a wonderful Thursday. If you miss any part of the show, 0:10:21.110 --> 0:10:26.210 you can download it. iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. Gavin Newsom claims he, quote, 0:10:26.730 --> 0:10:31.650 didn't even know. about the 5,000-bottle wine cellar at his 0:10:31.650 --> 0:10:36.490 $ 7. 5 million home. They just lie all the time. It's 0:10:36.570 --> 0:10:41.040 like breathing for them. You just lie. And remember, they're 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.340 comfortable with that because they don't share your moral framework 0:10:45.380 --> 0:10:49.600 at all, at all. For them, lies are necessary to 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.380 move the revolution forward. Hey, Jesse, my sons and I 0:10:53.420 --> 0:10:56.340 ventured off to Yankee Stadium Wednesday night to attend the 0:10:56.380 --> 0:11:01.089 Yankees-Astros game. Yes, my tickets were for that game. You know, 0:11:01.110 --> 0:11:04.600 that's rude. But my youngest son tried to convince me 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:10.040 that yesterday was Thursday. I spent $ 640, and even though 0:11:10.059 --> 0:11:13.020 we had a good time, my concern and question to 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.900 you is about the escalating costs for everything. Do you 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.570 think Republicans will be wiped out this November election? All right, 0:11:21.610 --> 0:11:29.540 so this is something that, I had mentioned something similar 0:11:29.660 --> 0:11:31.900 earlier in the show when we were talking about, hey, 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.320 why does the economy look good but it feels bad? 0:11:35.260 --> 0:11:38.950 This is something that we've discussed before, and you can 0:11:38.990 --> 0:11:43.849 go look up articles on this, but it's evident. Consumer spending, 0:11:43.870 --> 0:11:48.530 they always track consumer spending, consumer spending, consumer spending, consumer spending. Well, 0:11:48.990 --> 0:11:55.360 consumer spending has remained fairly consistent over the last few years. Now, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.610 that doesn't make sense. How could that possibly be when 0:11:58.620 --> 0:12:01.790 the prices of everything have gone up? How could we 0:12:01.830 --> 0:12:06.010 get roughly the same amount of consumer spending if the 0:12:06.070 --> 0:12:09.219 prices of everything have gone up and you can't afford 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.860 the things you used to be able to afford? Well, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.330 it's not complicated. There's really two answers to it. The 0:12:15.410 --> 0:12:19.030 first answer is people are burying themselves in credit card debt, 0:12:19.429 --> 0:12:22.220 trying to afford to live the life they used to 0:12:22.260 --> 0:12:24.819 be able to live before we shut down an economy 0:12:24.860 --> 0:12:27.500 for a chest cold. That's why we have record credit 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.699 card debt. You used to, I'm not talking about a 0:12:32.740 --> 0:12:34.490 Yankee game. I've never been to a Yankee game, so 0:12:34.500 --> 0:12:36.610 I can't say, but let's just say for the sake 0:12:36.630 --> 0:12:40.870 of argument, maybe 10 years ago, you could grab your 0:12:40.890 --> 0:12:45.179 two sons and take them to Yankee Stadium and Maybe, look, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.800 you don't have to sit right by the field, but 0:12:46.980 --> 0:12:49.140 you got decent seats. And of course, you're going to 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.180 get a hot dog at the game and a beer 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.120 at the game and life is good. And maybe you 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.000 and your two sons could go do all that for 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:02.260 200 bucks, 150, 200 bucks. Now you take them and 0:13:02.500 --> 0:13:07.610 it's $ 640. That's awful. So I said there are two reasons. 0:13:07.650 --> 0:13:09.930 The first one is people are burying themselves in credit 0:13:09.970 --> 0:13:14.040 card debt. The second reason consumer spending is has remained 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.030 relatively the same is wealthy people, people who are well off, 0:13:19.450 --> 0:13:24.540 are still spending money on these things. Now, overall, again, 0:13:24.580 --> 0:13:27.380 this is another one of those examples of, overall, you 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.500 look at the economy and you see consumer spendings remaining 0:13:30.540 --> 0:13:34.050 the same. You may think that's great, but no, it's 0:13:34.190 --> 0:13:38.770 not great if all the consumer spending is only focused 0:13:39.170 --> 0:13:41.449 on the most wealthy among us. And I'm not trying 0:13:41.490 --> 0:13:43.630 to sound like Bernie Sanders. This is not a wealth 0:13:43.750 --> 0:13:47.690 envy thing at all. But if a normal guy working 0:13:47.730 --> 0:13:51.270 a normal job can't throw his two sons in the car... 0:13:51.890 --> 0:13:57.229 and take them to a Yankee game because it costs $ 640, 0:13:56.830 --> 0:14:02.840 I think that sucks. I think it sucks. I hate it. 0:14:03.890 --> 0:14:06.930 I hate that normal people are getting priced out of 0:14:06.990 --> 0:14:10.589 doing normal things. I told you that story a few 0:14:10.630 --> 0:14:15.150 days ago about my buddy. Years they have driven down 0:14:15.210 --> 0:14:18.670 from New Jersey to the beach, and they have rented 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.450 a house. They rent a house for a week. Family 0:14:21.510 --> 0:14:23.250 comes in, they rent a house for a week, and 0:14:23.290 --> 0:14:25.410 he's not an extravagant person. He doesn't have a lot 0:14:25.450 --> 0:14:27.930 of money, but he has a decent job. They're making 0:14:27.950 --> 0:14:29.870 sandwiches at the house and stuff like that. It's not 0:14:29.970 --> 0:14:34.150 something nice like Red Lobster every night. So he's staying in, right? 0:14:34.650 --> 0:14:38.590 And they didn't go this year. It's too much. They 0:14:38.630 --> 0:14:43.630 can't afford it. Now, there may be wealthy people who 0:14:43.670 --> 0:14:47.290 have rented enough houses in that community that weekend that 0:14:47.630 --> 0:14:52.580 it still looks like consumer spending's up, but middle-class people 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:57.060 should be able to have middle-class things too. Now, it's 0:14:57.140 --> 0:15:00.360 one thing when you're young and poor. I mean, most 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.560 of us have been young and poor at one point 0:15:02.580 --> 0:15:04.780 in time. I went without food for a couple days. 0:15:05.140 --> 0:15:07.630 So most of us have been young and poor at 0:15:07.690 --> 0:15:10.010 some point in time. So that's one thing. I'm not 0:15:10.070 --> 0:15:12.550 saying when you're young and poor and you haven't eaten, 0:15:12.750 --> 0:15:14.390 you should be able to go to a Yankee game. No, 0:15:14.430 --> 0:15:17.110 that's not how life works. But if you have a 0:15:17.150 --> 0:15:23.460 solid job, maybe even the wife works, couple kids you 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:24.860 should be able to take them down to the beach 0:15:24.900 --> 0:15:27.540 for the weekend doesn't mean you have to go to 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.760 barbados but you can take them down to virginia beach 0:15:30.780 --> 0:15:34.290 for the weekend take them down to san diego beach 0:15:34.330 --> 0:15:37.330 for the weekend wherever it may be and if you're 0:15:37.430 --> 0:15:41.130 priced out of that it creates a lot of anger 0:15:41.210 --> 0:15:43.310 and resentment and fear and that's why i mean i 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:49.600 read it headline headline Affordability trumps all other issues in 0:15:49.630 --> 0:15:57.500 the midterm battleground states. All other issues. Immigration, energy, healthcare, crime, education, 0:15:57.620 --> 0:16:03.600 national security. They were all dwarfed. Why were they dwarfed? 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.660 Because when you can't take your kids to a Yankee game, 0:16:09.110 --> 0:16:10.850 when you can't take them down to the beach for 0:16:10.890 --> 0:16:15.590 the weekend, honestly, even crime doesn't stress you out as much. 0:16:16.950 --> 0:16:22.520 National security never even crosses your mind. Foreign policy, well, 0:16:22.540 --> 0:16:25.800 what about this country or that? But never even crosses 0:16:26.020 --> 0:16:30.480 your mind when you're sitting there at home and you're thinking, man, 0:16:31.900 --> 0:16:35.810 we can't even go out to Applebee's on a Friday night? 0:16:38.370 --> 0:16:41.490 I like Applebee's, but it's not exactly extravagant, right? You're 0:16:41.550 --> 0:16:44.109 sitting there at home and you're thinking, we seriously can't 0:16:44.130 --> 0:16:47.340 afford Applebee's? You don't want to hear about anything else. 0:16:47.980 --> 0:16:51.900 So that's anyway, that's my concern. All right. Let's talk 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.210 about this on that, on that subject. Let's talk about 0:16:55.250 --> 0:16:59.730 this Lake of Ontario, Lake of America thing. It is 0:16:59.910 --> 0:17:05.230 the Jesse Kelly show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday. Remember 0:17:05.270 --> 0:17:09.239 tomorrow is an ask Dr. Jesse Friday, and you need 0:17:09.260 --> 0:17:12.560 to get your questions emailed in now to Jesse at 0:17:12.820 --> 0:17:19.419 Jesse Kelly show.com. So, There's something we've discussed many times 0:17:19.500 --> 0:17:24.200 before on the show when it comes to employment. What's 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.679 one of my number one rules for employment? And I 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.620 didn't come up with this, but it is so true. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:35.050 Make sure your talent outweighs your baggage. We all, because 0:17:35.109 --> 0:17:38.490 we are all human, flawed. I mean, you can't even 0:17:38.530 --> 0:17:42.389 imagine how many flaws Chris has. We have flaws. We 0:17:42.430 --> 0:17:46.820 have baggage that come with us. Just make sure your 0:17:47.220 --> 0:17:50.820 talent outweighs it or you're going to go. So the 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.360 example I've always used because I saw it, I witnessed 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.400 it when I was selling RVs. Hey, man, if you're 0:17:56.460 --> 0:18:01.070 number one in the office in sales, you're churning and burning. 0:18:01.890 --> 0:18:06.070 You know what? You can show up hungover 15 minutes 0:18:06.109 --> 0:18:10.210 late on a Saturday. Boss may not celebrate it, but 0:18:10.770 --> 0:18:14.729 you know what? Probably won't even say a word. That's Bill. 0:18:15.550 --> 0:18:19.150 That's quite a cut up. On the flip side of that. 0:18:20.470 --> 0:18:22.889 If you haven't made your quota in two or three months. 0:18:24.070 --> 0:18:26.169 And you're starting to wonder if it's about time to 0:18:26.210 --> 0:18:30.780 clean out your desk. You better not show up hungover 0:18:30.859 --> 0:18:36.000 and late ever. It's all a matter of how you're 0:18:36.020 --> 0:18:40.919 doing at the time. So Trump today. Trump is in 0:18:40.980 --> 0:18:45.169 this big hissy fit with, with Canada. And I don't 0:18:45.190 --> 0:18:46.889 mean to call it a hissy fit to degrade the 0:18:46.910 --> 0:18:50.209 whole thing. It's about tariffs and Trump's mad at them. 0:18:50.270 --> 0:18:52.970 And they have this huge commie government and they're mad 0:18:53.030 --> 0:18:56.449 at us. So they're counter-tariffing and it's this huge, it's 0:18:56.490 --> 0:18:59.810 gotten really, really nasty, really, really nasty. Well, there is 0:19:00.010 --> 0:19:03.680 nobody who does mud throwing and grudges like Trump. That's 0:19:03.700 --> 0:19:05.960 just his thing. He enjoys it. Trump loves this kind 0:19:05.980 --> 0:19:11.600 of crap. And Trump, Trump does petty like nobody else. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.780 Trump will call you a stupid doo-doo head. Trump will 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.320 just call you a name. That's who Donald Trump is. 0:19:18.380 --> 0:19:20.240 And he's always been that way. This is not new. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.620 It's not a put-on. That's who Trump is at his court. 0:19:23.660 --> 0:19:29.550 That's how he operates. So Lake Ontario, obviously one of 0:19:29.590 --> 0:19:34.530 the Great Lakes, apparently now it's Lake of America. 0:19:34.570 --> 0:19:38.150 We're going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario. 0:19:39.500 --> 0:19:44.129 Effective immediately to Lake America. That's going to take place 0:19:44.770 --> 0:19:46.710 right now as I sign the order. 0:19:46.830 --> 0:19:53.890 Okay. I got quite a few emails about this. None 0:19:53.930 --> 0:19:56.350 of them. I take that back. There was one that 0:19:56.390 --> 0:19:58.390 was like, ah, it's kind of funny. And I think 0:19:58.430 --> 0:20:01.650 it is kind of funny. The others were, I'm kind 0:20:01.670 --> 0:20:03.320 of tired of this. I'm kind of tired of this. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.000 Got tired of that. But really, this comes back to 0:20:07.020 --> 0:20:10.590 what I was saying. And I've said many times before. Trump, 0:20:10.750 --> 0:20:15.350 when things are going well, there is nobody who messages 0:20:15.410 --> 0:20:18.470 better than Trump because Trump is always going to brag 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.620 about how well things are going. On the flip side 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.520 of that, when things are not necessarily going well, Trump 0:20:26.580 --> 0:20:29.879 can be a disaster messaging-wise because Trump doesn't have a 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.160 second gear. That's authentically who Trump is, and that's what 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.420 you're going to get at all times. Do you know 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.109 when people loved Trump? renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the 0:20:40.150 --> 0:20:44.629 Gulf of America. Right after Donald Trump got elected, we 0:20:44.670 --> 0:20:48.200 were filling up the government with anti-communists. We were full 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.260 of hope and promise and things. And Trump goes out 0:20:51.300 --> 0:20:53.959 there and says, it's the Gulf of America now. And 0:20:54.140 --> 0:20:56.100 I don't, Chris, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.620 think we got a single email complaining about the Gulf 0:20:58.660 --> 0:21:01.650 of America. Not one, not one. It was like, everybody's like, 0:21:02.150 --> 0:21:07.860 it should be Gulf of America. Screw Mexico. But When 0:21:07.900 --> 0:21:14.500 people can't afford burger. The Iran war now sits at 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:22.780 60-30 disapproval approval. People don't want to hear about the 0:21:22.820 --> 0:21:26.500 Lake of America now. I know it's not going to, 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.840 just a bit of advice. That's just not something that's 0:21:29.859 --> 0:21:33.720 going to stop. Or that's going to help us in November. 0:21:33.869 --> 0:21:37.110 That's what I'm trying to say. Jesse. Jesse. I'm not 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:42.129 that big on sentimentality. Is that how you say that word, Chris? 0:21:42.410 --> 0:21:45.170 Being sentimental. Being sentimental. I'm going to edit the email 0:21:45.190 --> 0:21:47.890 a little bit. Though I'm trying to get a little better, 0:21:47.910 --> 0:21:53.090 and I'm big on symbolism. On this one, though, I 0:21:53.930 --> 0:21:58.800 ignore Trump. I didn't lower my flag half-staff for Lindsey Graham. 0:21:59.460 --> 0:22:02.899 I'm not going to lower my flag half-staff for Dolly Parton. 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:07.830 Such a thing should be reserved for truly significant observances 0:22:07.910 --> 0:22:12.129 of all Americans and not a popularity check. It's the 0:22:12.210 --> 0:22:15.950 anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster and all those deaths, 0:22:16.510 --> 0:22:20.280 and insulting the service and deaths of thousands over 20 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.899 years for nothing, I'd much rather lower my flag for that, 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.380 but it would already be down for Dolly Parton. What 0:22:27.420 --> 0:22:30.900 are your thoughts on the history, symbolism, and authority for 0:22:30.980 --> 0:22:34.050 lowering the flag to have staff. He said, thank you. 0:22:34.150 --> 0:22:36.230 It said, I can say his name. Well, I have 0:22:36.250 --> 0:22:38.550 a lot of thoughts on this kind of thing. First 0:22:38.590 --> 0:22:46.000 of all, symbolism, like naming warships, of course, because Democrats 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.840 are soulless, degenerate monsters. They took a Navy ship and 0:22:49.859 --> 0:22:53.510 they named it after Harvey milk, a gay activist, just 0:22:53.550 --> 0:22:56.630 to try to appeal to the gay community. Okay. That's bad. 0:22:56.850 --> 0:22:57.010 Right. 0:22:57.869 --> 0:23:01.900 You know what else is bad? Naming a warship after 0:23:01.980 --> 0:23:10.080 any politician, if they didn't serve. Warships, military bases, should 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:15.700 be named exclusively after the heroes of this country. Heroes 0:23:15.900 --> 0:23:19.820 who have served in combat. Lindsey Graham is actually a 0:23:19.820 --> 0:23:22.960 good example of this. I realize Lindsey Graham was in 0:23:22.980 --> 0:23:26.570 the Air Force Reserves for a long time. But Lindsey 0:23:26.609 --> 0:23:30.879 Graham dies and we immediately name an Air Force base 0:23:31.100 --> 0:23:34.639 after Lindsey Graham. Why? Because he existed in the Senate 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.560 for a long time. Now, I understand you exist in 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.250 the Senate for a long time. You're probably going to 0:23:41.270 --> 0:23:44.230 get the flag at half staff. I may not love 0:23:44.270 --> 0:23:46.790 that depending on who died, but I understand that's the 0:23:46.830 --> 0:23:50.010 way that thing's going to go. But I am actually 0:23:50.130 --> 0:23:53.679 really big on symbolism. I'm not very sentimental myself. But 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.540 I'm big on symbolism. This is a huge reason why 0:23:56.580 --> 0:23:58.560 we do Medal of Honor Monday. I am a big 0:23:58.619 --> 0:24:01.280 believer in this when it comes to the psychology of 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.500 a nation and the influence on the young people of 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:08.900 a nation. Who we hold up matters a lot. Who 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.350 we honor. Who gets a statue? Who gets a base 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.959 named after them? Who gets a ship named after them? 0:24:15.890 --> 0:24:18.490 It matters a lot. No, I don't care that you 0:24:18.510 --> 0:24:21.590 were Secretary of State. We're not naming crap after you. 0:24:21.869 --> 0:24:27.220 Go retire. No, that's not how that works. I agree. 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.020 And look, I didn't say anything about Dolly Parton because 0:24:31.060 --> 0:24:34.260 I never say anything about dead celebrities. I've never done 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.109 that on the show. It doesn't matter to me. I 0:24:38.730 --> 0:24:41.210 just don't get sentimental about people I didn't know. It 0:24:41.230 --> 0:24:44.030 doesn't stir me in any way. So I don't want 0:24:44.050 --> 0:24:46.720 to come on the show ever and lie to you. Now, 0:24:46.790 --> 0:24:49.650 I may be authentically bad, but at least it's authentic. 0:24:49.890 --> 0:24:51.710 I don't want to come on here and act like, oh, 0:24:51.910 --> 0:24:56.810 devastated today. We lost Dolly. Maybe you are devastated. Certainly 0:24:56.869 --> 0:24:59.410 all the Tennessee listeners may have hit a little close 0:24:59.450 --> 0:25:01.950 to home from what I understand. She was a wonderful, 0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.820 charitable human being. Nothing bad against her at all, but 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:06.940 I'm not moved by it. So I'm not going to 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.300 sit and pretend like you should be moved by it 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.180 or act like I'm moved by it. I'm not saying 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.500 that at all. And yeah, to be honest with you, 0:25:15.460 --> 0:25:20.030 I don't like lowering the flags half-staff for a dead 0:25:20.070 --> 0:25:27.150 country singer. And I like Dolly Parton's music, by the way. Yeah, Chris, 0:25:27.170 --> 0:25:29.450 she's got some good stuff. Have you never listened to 0:25:29.530 --> 0:25:33.310 anything from Dolly Parton, Chris? Are you serious? That's what 0:25:33.350 --> 0:25:38.190 I said. Parton. Chris is upset by how I'm saying 0:25:38.250 --> 0:25:43.430
