Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, let's have some fun on a Friday. You
Speaker 1: have conquered the weak smile. Life is all right, and
Speaker 1: we are gonna have a good time for the next
Speaker 1: three hours on the world Famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Someone's
Speaker 1: mad about the customer service declining in the country. Someone
Speaker 1: else wants to talk about foreign affairs. I'm gonna merge
Speaker 1: those two things here in a second. Somebody's worried about
Speaker 1: World War three? Is that concern? Someone wants to know
Speaker 1: if they should turn off the radio. We have a
Speaker 1: COVID story that I will get to in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Some guy wants to talk about his experience with demoralized
Speaker 1: young men. All that, a youth pastor wants, tips on
Speaker 1: telling history stories, and so much more coming up tonight
Speaker 1: on the world Famous Jesse Kelly Show. And in case
Speaker 1: you're wondering, yes, there will be a little bit more
Speaker 1: little Debbie talk, because that's the kind of show we
Speaker 1: are now I'm gonna do. I'm gonna dive right into
Speaker 1: it and read these two things, Jessie. This guy says,
Speaker 1: all seeing Bronco, is it possible that the corruption and
Speaker 1: social separations here in America are contributing to our failings internationally.
Speaker 1: All right, I read this one. I live in a
Speaker 1: blue state, he says. She says, I noticed customer service
Speaker 1: is declining and fast food drive through lanes. They say,
Speaker 1: we'll be right with you. Then they'll make me wait forever,
Speaker 1: even when there's no line. At the doctor's office today
Speaker 1: I was greeted the same way while five receptionists sat
Speaker 1: there doing nothing. Are employees daring AI to take their jobs?
Speaker 1: All right? So let's do a little through a little
Speaker 1: analogy here. Let's say there's a boat in the ocean.
Speaker 1: Boat holds one hundred people. Okay, boat runs into some trouble,
Speaker 1: bad storm, something like that, goes down, but thankfully there's
Speaker 1: an island, the tropical island, close by, way out in
Speaker 1: the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now, the hundred people
Speaker 1: on that boat can be one of two things. Let's say.
Speaker 1: For first of all, let's say the hundred people on
Speaker 1: that boat were good people, fairly good shape, fairly good health,
Speaker 1: solid values, come from good families. Now, are they going
Speaker 1: to run into hardship on that island? They might even
Speaker 1: all die. I don't know, but I think we would
Speaker 1: argue that there's a chance they're gonna be all right,
Speaker 1: we'll figure things out. Okay, all right, Now on the
Speaker 1: flip side, let's say those hundred people are all Antifa,
Speaker 1: broken homes, drugs, violent, all kinds of history of mental
Speaker 1: health issues, things like that. But it goes down they
Speaker 1: get to the island. How long are they gonna last? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see look on Chris's face as the same look
Speaker 1: on your face. Not very long. Our country, we have
Speaker 1: to think about it in this way. All countries, not
Speaker 1: just ours. Countries have a health of their people that
Speaker 1: is determined by some things, and by the way, very
Speaker 1: specific things. We don't just have to act like it's
Speaker 1: not well, we have no idea. There are specific things
Speaker 1: that contribute to the health, happiness, the people being ready
Speaker 1: for that island. There are things that contribute to it.
Speaker 1: One of the main ones is the family unit. And look,
Speaker 1: maybe you are in a broken home or come from
Speaker 1: a broken home or something like that, and all that
Speaker 1: stuff's fine, you can overcome it. But I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The country doesn't matter. The point in
Speaker 1: time history man, woman and staying together and raising children,
Speaker 1: the nuclear family unit that is the foundation of a
Speaker 1: society and if you look at the percentages of households
Speaker 1: that are that versus the ones that are not, that
Speaker 1: will almost it's like taking your blood pressure in the
Speaker 1: doctor's office. It's gonna go a long way to telling
Speaker 1: you you're all right or oh my gosh, let's get
Speaker 1: you to the er right. Religious attendance. This is not
Speaker 1: me preaching to you because you can pick your religion,
Speaker 1: pick your period of time and history. It applies to
Speaker 1: Jewish producer Chrits and his people. How many people are
Speaker 1: coming together on Saturday, right, Chris on Saturday and going
Speaker 1: to synagogue? How many are coming together? Not just as
Speaker 1: a society. You're coming together and what are you doing?
Speaker 1: You are coming together around a certain set of values,
Speaker 1: even if the values don't don't always mirror each other.
Speaker 1: How many people are involved in that. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1: I mentioned that part and it leads me to this
Speaker 1: next part. It's really, really, really important. I've been talking
Speaker 1: to my son about this a lot as I'm trying
Speaker 1: to guide him, you know, in his career path. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have one yet, he's trying to find one. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to help him find one. But I've mentioned to
Speaker 1: him several times before that. I've worked a lot of
Speaker 1: different jobs in this lifetime construction. I've sold RVs, I've
Speaker 1: watched cars, I mean, you name it. I've done it right.
Speaker 1: I worked in a nonprofit sector. I've done it. Now
Speaker 1: I'm a radio host. Working around people who share your
Speaker 1: values is worth more than money. It is. It's worth
Speaker 1: more than money. And you know this the second you
Speaker 1: start working around people who don't share your values. Every
Speaker 1: day is this sole sucking enterprise where you're driving into
Speaker 1: work thinking to yourself, I wonder if my car would
Speaker 1: blow up if I drove off this bridge. Well, societies
Speaker 1: worked the exact same way. Now. You want to find
Speaker 1: a strong, close knit community in this country, Find one
Speaker 1: where the people in that town, in that area generally
Speaker 1: share the same values. Does it not have to be
Speaker 1: all identical, but generally share the same values on family,
Speaker 1: everything else, and you're going to find a close knit,
Speaker 1: cohesive community. My community, I'll use mine as an example.
Speaker 1: When Hurricane Harvey hit here in Houston. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not that the hurricane itself was that bad. It was
Speaker 1: that it did something really weird and it just parked
Speaker 1: itself over Houston for days. It didn't move and it
Speaker 1: just dump, just dumped water, and everything flooded. Everything was underwater.
Speaker 1: I couldn't drive more than a mile from my house.
Speaker 1: My house was basically a mountaintop sticking out over the waters.
Speaker 1: You had to raft around. It was that bad, right,
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time. It was probably post
Speaker 1: nine to eleven was the last time I was that
Speaker 1: inspired by my country. And the reason I was inspired
Speaker 1: was the community was unbelievable. Immediately too, Immediately it was
Speaker 1: who's in trouble. He's in trouble, Get in your car,
Speaker 1: who's got a raft? Can somebody go help? Hey? Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm running out of diapers? Has anybody had it? It
Speaker 1: was everybody, everybody, the freaking Cajun Navy. Of course, those
Speaker 1: studs come cruising over everybody, rallying why same values community. Now, well,
Speaker 1: i'll play something for you. You you understand that we've
Speaker 1: been invaded, right, you get that we've been invaded. Do
Speaker 1: you know where Mackinac is? You ever heard of it? It's, uh,
Speaker 1: it's exactly what I just described as in Michigan. It's
Speaker 1: is down home America as you can possibly imagine, American flags,
Speaker 1: fairly well off, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful place. Abdu al Sayid
Speaker 1: is the Democrat nominee to be a United States Senator
Speaker 1: from the state of Michigan. He's a little hot water
Speaker 1: today because he did a documentary and he forgot the
Speaker 1: thing you should never forget. The mic is always hot.
Speaker 1: And on this documentary, as he's walking through the place,
Speaker 1: he looks around at these American flags, at these social cohesion.
Speaker 1: There's even there's white people there, And this is what
Speaker 1: he says so much. It's funny because like, if we win,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the like summer home. Like every
Speaker 1: time I've ever come here, I've hated. It's why my here.
Speaker 1: You cannot maintain a healthy, cohesive society if you import
Speaker 1: foreign barbarians for fifty years. It's not humanly possible. Maybe
Speaker 1: you live in a wonderful, close knit, family oriented community
Speaker 1: and you think to yourself, we are unbreakable. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, I bet you are to some extent. I
Speaker 1: bet you could take a tornado, a hurricane, a plague,
Speaker 1: a something, and you would figure out a way to
Speaker 1: get through it. But you know what, your wonderful little
Speaker 1: community absolutely positively cannot You can't survive it. If I
Speaker 1: were to go grab a bunch of people from Somalia
Speaker 1: and a bunch of people from Yemen, and a bunch
Speaker 1: of people from Afghanistan, and a bunch of people from Guatemala,
Speaker 1: and I would drop thousands of them in your community,
Speaker 1: that community would dits a peer. It's the melting pop
Speaker 1: that's killing us, because we're not melting. We're destroying the soup.
Speaker 1: Deport one hundred million foreigners and you'll find a much
Speaker 1: different country than you have now. You can't you can't
Speaker 1: go on like this. That's why I'm so passionate about
Speaker 1: that issue. All Right, I will finish this up in
Speaker 1: a moment and then we'll move on. It is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday, and ask doctor
Speaker 1: Jesse Friday. So that was, you know, kind of half
Speaker 1: answering the questions. I'll get to the specific answers in
Speaker 1: a moment about the kind of country we have. And
Speaker 1: if you're solid and there's social cohesion and shared values
Speaker 1: and nuclear families, then the country itself will be strong
Speaker 1: and it'll be able to weather anything. And if those
Speaker 1: things break apart, you can't weather anything. Nothing. And so
Speaker 1: so back to this Jesse. I've noticed customer services declining.
Speaker 1: Fast food can't get a But okay, that's fair, not
Speaker 1: in my area. And you know what set my area aside.
Speaker 1: I've told you this before. Last summer we went up
Speaker 1: to Montana. We spent some of the summer at Montana
Speaker 1: and small town Montana. They're all failuly small, but small
Speaker 1: small town Montana. I think it's five thousand people in
Speaker 1: that town. Small Town Montana. My children, who are who
Speaker 1: have been raised in a fairly polite area here in
Speaker 1: rural Texas, they commented all the time we go to
Speaker 1: Taco Bell and they said, Dad, all these kids are
Speaker 1: so polite. All these kids are so nice, all the kids. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know, I know that you just got smug, crappy
Speaker 1: attitude while you were trying to buy some Popeyes at
Speaker 1: the Houston Airport. I am well aware. I am well
Speaker 1: aware that you walk into she mentioned the doctor's office,
Speaker 1: and that you'll have a bunch of receptionists with fingernails
Speaker 1: six inches long, filing them and glaring at you instead
Speaker 1: of being nice and helpful. I am aware. It's all
Speaker 1: about your upbringing, it's all about the culture. There are
Speaker 1: places where it's not like that. I will go drive
Speaker 1: through Chick fil As a matter of fact, we talk
Speaker 1: about it all the time, especially since my boy that's
Speaker 1: got a job there. Go drive through Chick fil A.
Speaker 1: Every single person, no matter that they're all teenagers, teenagers
Speaker 1: by the way of it, they all look different, right, tall, short, black, fat, skinny,
Speaker 1: but all teenagers. Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: My pleasure, sir. How may I help you? Sir? They'll
Speaker 1: come out and change a tire for you. Then you
Speaker 1: turn around and look, as much as I love them,
Speaker 1: you drive through Jack in the Box, They'll probably slash
Speaker 1: your tire for you. It's about culture now to this one.
Speaker 1: Is it possible that our corruption and social separations here
Speaker 1: in America are contributing to our failings internationally? Well, this
Speaker 1: has been something I've touched on a lot. I'll touch
Speaker 1: on it again and again and again. I get people
Speaker 1: have different views on foreign policy. I understand that completely,
Speaker 1: and it's you. It's one of those things that I
Speaker 1: have no problem with. Because foreign policy is so complicated.
Speaker 1: People will have a foreign policy and they'll they'll, you know,
Speaker 1: because we're all like this, they'll just dig their feet
Speaker 1: into the ground. In it, and this is the right one,
Speaker 1: and everyone else is wrong, and you're an idiot. And look,
Speaker 1: I have a foreign policy too. I try to shy
Speaker 1: away from that everyone else is an idiot thing because
Speaker 1: foreign policy is the most complicated thing. Now you're dealing
Speaker 1: with a different country, a different culture. There are divisions
Speaker 1: inside of that different country are there are other factors,
Speaker 1: economic factors, there are neighboring countries, there are foreign policies. Complicated.
Speaker 1: It has always been complicated. Our problem, to your point,
Speaker 1: is this, you cannot conduct any significant foreign policy operations
Speaker 1: while you are divided at home. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: You can't do it if you you feel strongly we
Speaker 1: have to go do this, Jesse, Jesse, we should go
Speaker 1: to war with China, all right. I would probably push
Speaker 1: back on that, but let me. Let's just saygo with you.
Speaker 1: I don't want to call you an idiot. You want
Speaker 1: to go to war with China, great. It's not humanly
Speaker 1: possible for the United States of America to fight a
Speaker 1: war of any significant size while half the country hates
Speaker 1: the country. You can't fight You cannot properly fight a
Speaker 1: war on foreign soil. When these people sit in the
Speaker 1: United States so much. It's funny because like, if we win,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the like summer home, just gonna
Speaker 1: like every time I've ever come here, I've hated. It's
Speaker 1: why am I here? You can't fight when you're being
Speaker 1: knife in the back. You know. We love to talk
Speaker 1: about World War Two. Who doesn't. It's one of our
Speaker 1: high points as a nation save in the world and
Speaker 1: all that, you know, kind of nice thing to have
Speaker 1: on your resume. And we fought long, we fought hard.
Speaker 1: We had so much loss. We did so many incredible
Speaker 1: things in World War Two, and none of those things
Speaker 1: would have been possible if half the country, half the
Speaker 1: elected officials were trying to decap the war effort the
Speaker 1: entire time would not have been possible, would not have
Speaker 1: been Both parties had to buy in, and that was
Speaker 1: easier because of Pearl Harbor and because we didn't have
Speaker 1: an America Sucks Party at that point in time in
Speaker 1: the country. Yes, Republicans and Democrats were different, but there
Speaker 1: were still all kinds of patriotism around. So you get
Speaker 1: sucker punched at Pearl Harbor. Boom, It's World War two time,
Speaker 1: and everybody's on board. Let's rock and roll. That's that's
Speaker 1: what gives you the juice you need to fight a
Speaker 1: war like that while you have animals in the streets
Speaker 1: here at home, and animals in the House of Representatives,
Speaker 1: animals in the United States Senate, while you have a
Speaker 1: domestic insurgency going on inside your country. There is no
Speaker 1: significant foreign policy you can do. It will all fail
Speaker 1: because you can't fight with one on the tie behind
Speaker 1: your back. And let's be honest, Democrats want that. Democrats
Speaker 1: want us to fail. No matter what we do. They
Speaker 1: will root for failure. They will root for American deaths
Speaker 1: because I think it helps them gain political power. All right,
Speaker 1: along those lines, are we heading to World War three?
Speaker 1: Hang on, it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
Speaker 1: Fantastic Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday. If you miss
Speaker 1: any part of the show, you can down at iHeart
Speaker 1: Spotify iTunes, Hey, Jesse. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan recently
Speaker 1: signed a defense agreement following all the Iranian attacks against
Speaker 1: its neighbors. Is this the next next step in World
Speaker 1: War three? Similar to the defense agreements that pulled the
Speaker 1: world into World War One? All right, I don't know,
Speaker 1: And so we just talked about foreign policy a little bit.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about something else. You know how I said,
Speaker 1: foreign policy is complicated. It's easy to throw mud at
Speaker 1: someone else's foreign policy, but it's always complicated. It's never simple.
Speaker 1: The only thing, the only huge mistake you make is
Speaker 1: thinking it's simple. It's not simple. It's complicated. The future
Speaker 1: of the world. Nobody knows it except for God. Nobody
Speaker 1: knows it. If you ask me, if I look at
Speaker 1: you know, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turk Pakistan, if you
Speaker 1: look at Kuwait, If I look at all these different
Speaker 1: countries forming some kind of a pact to try to
Speaker 1: combat Iran and Iran stuff, could I see that spilling
Speaker 1: over into some horrible World War three thing? You could look,
Speaker 1: you could do that doomsday scenario all day long, all
Speaker 1: day long. Well, yeah, well that's gonna bring in Russia.
Speaker 1: Would you bring in China? And look, we could do
Speaker 1: as long as we're doing doomsday stuff. But what if
Speaker 1: China at this point in time decides to go after
Speaker 1: Taiwan when we're low on missile how Oh you could
Speaker 1: do it and all that stuff might happen. But I
Speaker 1: don't know that. Uh, I'll tell you this, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: you could see you could see this ending up being
Speaker 1: healthy for that region. If all these other countries decide
Speaker 1: they're going to start taking their own security more serious,
Speaker 1: and if all these other countries decide they're gonna come
Speaker 1: up with alternate routes, so the dirt balls in Iran
Speaker 1: can't continue to close the straight of horror moves. If
Speaker 1: this whips Saudi Arabia in the rear end, if this
Speaker 1: whips the UAE in the rear end to stop building
Speaker 1: indoor ski resorts and start doing things that are actually
Speaker 1: beneficial for the bottom line of the country, like alternate routes.
Speaker 1: If this is what it takes to whip them into shape,
Speaker 1: maybe on a long enough timeline at least for them,
Speaker 1: maybe it will work out even better. It would be
Speaker 1: nice if Iran doesn't have the ability to close off
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the world shipping, that would be that
Speaker 1: would certainly be beneficial. Now that's a future thing. It's
Speaker 1: not coming tomorrow. It takes a long time to work
Speaker 1: out those pipelines, the roads, the logistics behind all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff takes a long long time. This is
Speaker 1: not gonna be a quick thing. But if it ends
Speaker 1: up that way. Maybe we're better off in the end.
Speaker 1: Maybe Iran ends up sitting there, isolated, probably economically sanctioned
Speaker 1: by that point in time, just slowly dying on the vine.
Speaker 1: You have to kind of feel for the ninety million people,
Speaker 1: at least the innocent ones. You have to kind of
Speaker 1: feel for the fact that their life sucks. The same
Speaker 1: way you gotta feel for people in North Korea. Generally
Speaker 1: not a good time, but can't be our problem. So
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that I'm gonna say world
Speaker 1: War three. I don't know that I could see it.
Speaker 1: Remember Brandon Weiker came on and freaked everybody out last
Speaker 1: week because he laid out all these facts in all
Speaker 1: this detail, and then he says and then he says, well, anyway,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna end in World War three, and
Speaker 1: everyone starts sending me emails. Oh my gosh, n I
Speaker 1: will slow down. He doesn't know either. He's very well informed.
Speaker 1: I love him, but I don't know. You don't know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't know. No one knows the future. Dear history Guru.
Speaker 1: I'm a youth pastor and teacher at the church's small
Speaker 1: Christian school. I have recently been asked to teach a
Speaker 1: Civis American history course for seven through twelve grade students.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love your history statements, segments, but I can't
Speaker 1: be you. Do you have any pointers to not suck?
Speaker 1: I want to keep their attention, for sure, but most
Speaker 1: of all, I want them to come out of this
Speaker 1: loving America and hating communism. All right, So first let's
Speaker 1: start at the back end there, like pep U Dich,
Speaker 1: what Chris don't worry about the love America hate Communism part?
Speaker 1: And the reason is there's no such thing as an
Speaker 1: unbiased education because teachers are human beings and they will
Speaker 1: have bias. And no matter what, that bias will come through,
Speaker 1: that it will come through. And how you say things,
Speaker 1: what you say, what you don't say, your America loving
Speaker 1: anti communist bias is going to drip from your lessons
Speaker 1: without any efforts from you whatsoever, it will. That's going
Speaker 1: to happen naturally, period and a story. Now, the first part,
Speaker 1: how do you make sure it doesn't suck? You're not me,
Speaker 1: you said, I'm not special. Here's how I handle history.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm glad you enjoy it.
Speaker 1: But here's how I handle history, and here's why you
Speaker 1: enjoy it. When I do history, stories or family stuff
Speaker 1: or stuff like that, people don't want to list. They
Speaker 1: don't want to read a textbook. They don't want to
Speaker 1: read facts and dates and names and things like that.
Speaker 1: The story of history is not facts. History is a movie.
Speaker 1: It's drama. It's comedy, it's tragedy, it's it's all those things.
Speaker 1: Your job, if you want them to know history, is
Speaker 1: to tell them stories. Stories. I could sit down right
Speaker 1: now and I could spend the next two and a
Speaker 1: half hours on this show, and I could go through
Speaker 1: for you World War two in the Pacific, and I
Speaker 1: could do it well. On this date we went to Tarawa,
Speaker 1: and then on this date Guadalcanal, and then on this
Speaker 1: date Admiral King I got with the Halsey, and then
Speaker 1: and then the plan was made, and then on this
Speaker 1: date they went through Pelelu when there were five thousand casualties.
Speaker 1: And I could spend I could spend easily two and
Speaker 1: a half hours on that just fact date, fact date,
Speaker 1: fact date, name. But and guess what, I would lose
Speaker 1: your interest in twenty five seconds. Your eyes would glaze
Speaker 1: over and at the end of it, you wouldn't learn
Speaker 1: a thing. You wouldn't even remember any of the facts.
Speaker 1: They would just it would just all just dump right
Speaker 1: out of your mind. But if I told you a
Speaker 1: story about two marines sitting in a fighting hole in Ewojima,
Speaker 1: one of them, the doc, gets out to go check
Speaker 1: on somebody, and he comes back to the story. He
Speaker 1: comes back to the hole and his buddy, Iggy, the
Speaker 1: United States marine who was with him, has disappeared. And
Speaker 1: then they find Iggy a couple days later, because the
Speaker 1: Japanese snuck into the fighting hole while he was gone,
Speaker 1: dragged him down into an underground cave, broke out all
Speaker 1: of his teeth, cut his eyelids off, broke both of
Speaker 1: his arms, and spent days using him for bayonet practice.
Speaker 1: And then the Marines found their friend. I bet you
Speaker 1: remember that, don't you. History is stories, tell people stories.
Speaker 1: That thirty second story just made a greater impact on
Speaker 1: you than two and a half hours of facts and
Speaker 1: names and dates. And you don't have to be me
Speaker 1: or whatever other great story rush or name your great
Speaker 1: storyteller out there. Did I just call myself a great storyteller?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily true, but Rush certainly was.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to be that. You just have
Speaker 1: to be you. Your passion will come through. Stop listing
Speaker 1: names and dates and start telling them about something horrible,
Speaker 1: something wonderful, something a story of valor. And watch the
Speaker 1: young men and women sit up in their chair and
Speaker 1: learn and listen. Telling you it's stories. Just tell them stories,
Speaker 1: all right, all right? Someone wants to talk about young men.
Speaker 1: It has a story about young men's. We've been on
Speaker 1: the topic of the economy a lot. Somebody's a little
Speaker 1: despondent with the news. Someone wants to talk about the
Speaker 1: fraud money. Should we get some of that back? All
Speaker 1: that and more still to come. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show on a Wonderful Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday.
Speaker 1: And remember you can email the show Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. So we've been telling the story. This
Speaker 1: is not something I just got on lately since COVID.
Speaker 1: As you know, I've been talking about the jobs market
Speaker 1: and affordability. I talk to normal people. I live around
Speaker 1: normal people, and I get emails and droves for normal people.
Speaker 1: It's a very working class audience. As you can imagine
Speaker 1: and I know that people are hurting. They are hurting.
Speaker 1: That that is a fact. We can argue about what
Speaker 1: the solution is, but we can't argue about that headline.
Speaker 1: Almost ninety percent of jobs created since Trump's reelection have
Speaker 1: gone to women. It's because they're all going to healthcare,
Speaker 1: because that's where all the government money is flowing. For
Speaker 1: men young and old, and for women don't want to
Speaker 1: be nurses or whatever it is. There's tough out there,
Speaker 1: and so combine that the jobs market with the fact
Speaker 1: that everything's so freaking expensive, and people don't they don't
Speaker 1: feel like their standard of living is even what it
Speaker 1: used to be, let alone what their parents had. So
Speaker 1: here's his story, Senor Jesse. I'm sure the only person
Speaker 1: more happy than I am to hear you talking about
Speaker 1: affordability is Chris, So thank you. I'd never tell a
Speaker 1: world famous professional radio host how to run their show,
Speaker 1: but I don't think you can overdo this topic right now. Honestly,
Speaker 1: the person I can't believe doesn't get into his dad's
Speaker 1: ear more is Don Junior. He seems to be in
Speaker 1: touch with the real world, but maybe I'm wrong. I
Speaker 1: own a small We'll come back to that in a minute.
Speaker 1: I'll own. I own a small service company with the
Speaker 1: workforce of young men who tend to work for me
Speaker 1: from six or seven to noon or so, and then
Speaker 1: some go fishing and or onto other jobs. Most who
Speaker 1: have other jobs or restaurant service, bartenders, valets, so on
Speaker 1: and so forth. I was talking to a group of
Speaker 1: three of them yesterday about how things are going, and
Speaker 1: one volunteered that at his restaurant the night before, all
Speaker 1: the employees were talking about how they have never been
Speaker 1: this broke before. It is unanimous. They all agreed that
Speaker 1: right now was the poorest any of them have ever
Speaker 1: been since they started working full time. These are good dudes.
Speaker 1: I don't hire punks, and luckily my pay structure and
Speaker 1: work life balance is very appealing, so I'm able to
Speaker 1: attract and retain solid employees. I do the best I
Speaker 1: can for them, and have certainly felt the crunch with
Speaker 1: rising costs across the board. Like you, I have teenage boys,
Speaker 1: and it takes me off. We have allowed these goobers,
Speaker 1: dorks and degenerates who make it to DC to do
Speaker 1: to our country. I don't think you can beat this
Speaker 1: drug too much, so I didn't say I cand say
Speaker 1: his name, and I will not say his name. I
Speaker 1: hear this story every single time I hang out with
Speaker 1: my friends. Every single time. It's about their kids. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's about theirselves. And by the way, I know some
Speaker 1: rich guys too. They complain about the prices of everything.
Speaker 1: I can't believe how much it costs. Even the guys
Speaker 1: who can afford it, they go drop over one hundred
Speaker 1: bucks to fill up a pickup truck. They're furious. I
Speaker 1: can't believe what it costs. They pay the power bill.
Speaker 1: I can't believe what it costs. Costs are high. It's
Speaker 1: not that I think anybody and the GOP can fix it,
Speaker 1: or look, we can take steps to help make it better.
Speaker 1: But it's not that I think anyone in the GOP
Speaker 1: can just snap their fingers and say, hey, costs our
Speaker 1: back down. I laid all this out yesterday in the
Speaker 1: first hour of the show. If you want to listen
Speaker 1: to why costs are so high? First half hour, forty
Speaker 1: five minutes of yesterday's show, I laid it all out
Speaker 1: in detail. I'm not going to do that again. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things been around for a while. COVID
Speaker 1: made it worse. Okay, here we are. Now. Everything's expensive.
Speaker 1: But what the Republicans absolutely must do is approach it
Speaker 1: with some level of and I hate to even say
Speaker 1: this because it sounds like such a woman's term, but
Speaker 1: it's true, approach it with some level of empathy. Hey,
Speaker 1: I know you're hurt, and I understand. I know that
Speaker 1: I get it. I know that this, like I mentioned,
Speaker 1: this is really really a lot.
Speaker 2: Of Americans look at this rising tide of socialism and say,
Speaker 2: how did we get here? We got here by forty
Speaker 2: years of bipartisan leaders selling our industrial base to foreign countries,
Speaker 2: allowing low wage immigrants to come in and compete with
Speaker 2: the mayors for jobs. By destroying the foundation in middle class.
Speaker 2: That's how you got socialism. How you fix that problem
Speaker 2: is by doubling down on Donald Trump's economic nationalism.
Speaker 1: That's outstanding. Hey, I know you're hurting, and let me
Speaker 1: explain to you why you're hurting. This is how we
Speaker 1: got here. So one, I'm a politician. I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. That's a great thing
Speaker 1: to do. I get it. Two, here's why it's this way.
Speaker 1: It's not me, that's not even you. Years of this
Speaker 1: has brought it this way, finishing it up with a solution.
Speaker 1: Let's get these foreigners out of the country. I mean,
Speaker 1: I said, there's nothing we can snap our fingers and do.
Speaker 1: Do you know how much costs would drop if we
Speaker 1: deported one hundred million foreigners? One hundred and seven million
Speaker 1: is the number Greg Bevi, you know, gives out. He
Speaker 1: kind of would know one hundred million. Housing costs would plummet.
Speaker 1: Wh Yeah, young people can't afford a home anymore. They
Speaker 1: could if we deported a hundred million people. Have you looked?
Speaker 1: I have actually asked ob A, kids, you not I'm
Speaker 1: not as cheap as Chris, but I know I am
Speaker 1: fairly frugal. I have asked ob to no longer tell
Speaker 1: me what we pay for health insurance because the last
Speaker 1: time we had to renew it, we do it through
Speaker 1: Premiere here. I had her log in and do it
Speaker 1: because the numbers. I was so stressed and I was
Speaker 1: starting to cut coverage and she's like, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, we don't need that, and we don't.
Speaker 1: That's it. It causes my blood pressure to go up.
Speaker 1: And I've just told her, baby, it's yours. I don't
Speaker 1: want to know anymore. Don't tell me. I don't want
Speaker 1: to know what it is. Imagine if you didn't have
Speaker 1: to pay for the health care of one hundred million foreigners.
Speaker 1: They're on Medicaid, they're using the emergency room as a
Speaker 1: doctor's office. Imagine that you want costs to go down.
Speaker 1: That's how you do it, and that's how you message it.
Speaker 1: Don't kick dirt in people's face by telling them they
Speaker 1: have it great and everything's perfect. That insults people. Tell them,
Speaker 1: I get it. Things are hard. Times are tough. Here's
Speaker 1: why things are hard. Here's what we're gonna do to
Speaker 1: make it better. That's what we need to do. What
Speaker 1: you don't want to do is tell people, oh, shut up,
Speaker 1: everything's fine, eh. I wouldn't lead with that. We have
Speaker 1: two hours left. Someone thinks he needs a break, Hang on.
