WEBVTT - Midterm Elections 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:05.640 Is Jesse Kelly Show, Final hour of The Jesse Kelly 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:09.920 Show on a wonderful, absolutely wonderful Thursday. We're going to 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.080 touch really quickly on immigration. I don't want to spend 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.000 too long on it. Some NASCAR driver got suspended for 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.640 and I quote using a gay voice, not even kidding. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.799 We'll get to emails and other things I want. I 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.440 want to touch on this really really quickly, because there's 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.080 a couple different headlines back to back. Here soron Memdanni's wife, 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.080 you know, New York City mayor zoron Mamdani. Here's a 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:44.000 headline from the Free Beacon. Zorn. Mamdani's wife celebrated Palestinian terrorists, 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:49.560 including plane hijacker, in social media posts from early adulthood. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:54.440 All right, son Mandanni is married to a terrorist sympathizer. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:59.920 Her name is Rama Dulagi. What a shock. Anyway. Here 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:06.040 there's another headline. School restricts lunch for all students during Ramadan. 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.200 Now this was in Canada, which is kind of barely 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.560 a country anymore, but some students weren't allowed to eat 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.680 lunch because it might have tempt some Muslim kids. That 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.759 and so these headlines they what happens is they come 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.680 out and we look at the headline and we're outraged. 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.120 How can this be? How can this be? This shouldn't be, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.479 This shouldn't be. And that's good. I'm glad you're mad 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.160 about that. I'm mad about that. It's not the way 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.839 it should be. But it is really, really, really important 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.240 that we go back to the source of all these problems. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:47.520 The source of all these problems is immigration. Immigration is 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.040 the source of all these problems. And if I can 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:58.760 take it a step further, not illegal immigration. Yes, illegal 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.840 immigration is terrible and every way should be completely wiped 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:06.000 out of got it, I got it, you got it. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:12.919 It is legal immigration that has transformed so many Western 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.440 civilizations into places where Zooran Mendani can get elected mayor 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.680 of New York City, where students are not able to 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.399 eat their lunch out of respect for Ramadan. It doesn't 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.359 do any good to get mad when the results come out. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.960 The point is the bad blood work you got at 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.720 your doctor's office was the result of months of bad 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.200 eating and sitting around. And you can yell and scream 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.560 about the results and this is an outrage, but the 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:53.560 only benefit is when you understand and accept what coust 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:59.000 it and vow to change it in the future. Legal 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:05.720 immigrants is a disaster for Western civilization and should be 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:11.320 completely paused for years and years and years and years 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.480 and years. And maybe you think that is wrong or crazy. Well, 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.840 I'm sure you were. I'm sure you learned in school. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.560 Here's you know what, it's a virtual guarantee what I'm 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.840 about to say. I guarantee you you learned in school. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.720 You read it in your history tech book, textbooks, and 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.240 your history teachers told you about all that immigration we 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.639 got through Ellis Island at one point. Didn't you learn 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880 about that? Of course, the Irish came in, and the 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.880 Italians came in, and the Jews came in and hit 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.800 But I'm sure you learned about Ellis Island, and I'm 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.000 sure it was talked about as if it was the 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.000 most wonderful thing in the world, and America threw up 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.400 in its doors. Give me you're tired, you poor, you're 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.600 wretched masses. You learned that it was wonderful, didn't you? 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.600 You learned about that? You know what you didn't learn? 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.960 I bet my left arm on it. I bet you 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.880 didn't learn that after that time, this was not a 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.560 long period in American history. And after that time, America 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.520 slammed the door shut and threw a lock on it 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:15.760 for decades and said no more immigration. None. This was 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:21.000 way too much, this was way too disruptive. Nope, no more. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.000 America's closed for a long time. I think it was 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.560 forty years. Might might not be quite forty years. For 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:33.160 a long time, America said, boop, done. Closed. That's a 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.320 very normal thing for a country to do. And again, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.800 build the wall, I'm all about it. Build that sucker 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.680 two hundred feet high, put a moat down there with alligators. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:47.480 It sounds good. I'm all about deportation of every person 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.839 here illegally, man, women and children. Round every one of 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.600 them up and throw them out of here. Sounds good. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:02.200 Mass migration. Mass immigration into a country does not magically 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:08.120 become wonderful because dirtball politicians determine that it is legal. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.080 Our legal immigration system is a disaster. And the reason 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.040 I'm so loud and emphatic about this is because you've 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.480 moved the gop. You have and I have. We've moved 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.159 them enough to now at least most of them will 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:29.320 loudly complain about illegal immigration. But to this day, even 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:36.040 some of our most hardcore Republicans. We'll say illegal immigration's bad, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:41.960 but legal immigration's great. I love legal immigration. Ah, just 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.919 give me, everybody, hold on, hold on, let me hold on, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.000 all right. Let me write something down on this piece 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.960 of paper. All right, hang on, let me take it 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.960 around to my friends. Hey, will you vote for this? Okay? Look, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.640 enough of my friends voted for it. Now I have 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.320 a piece of paper, and it's gonna make all those 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.919 people from Haiti they're just as American as you and me. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.880 Sounds great. Now you wake up. There's the Muslim called 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:15.680 a prayer in New York City. Now children have to 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:20.920 starve at lunchtime because it's Ramadan. Now. I just saw 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.560 a story. I think it was out of New Jersey. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.400 Somebody chopped the head off of a baby goat in 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:31.400 a sacrifice ceremony. I wonder what Baptist church he went to. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.800 This is a result of immigration. Stop it all, all right, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.640 let's do this, Jesse. The war in Iran, this war, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:47.000 this Iran war or military operation, whatever you call it, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.320 seems to be really splitting the America First Movement into 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.440 two factions, maybe even more. You always talk about coalitions 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.599 that help when elections. I'm not sure Republicans are going 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.880 to be able to win any elections with this much disunity. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.960 I hate seeing it. What do you see? What do 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.760 you think? Okay, well, first, online isn't real life. Let's 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.679 remember that. Let's remember I've already played for you during 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.520 the show that the bad numbers we have with independence 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.520 when it comes to cost of living things like that. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.520 Let's remember the actual numbers of we're talking hardcore MAGA Republicans, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.360 three time Trump voters. You log into Facebook or Twitter 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.320 or whatever you do, and you see all this fighting 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:34.440 about the whole thing, But numbers wise, it's pretty solid. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.280 The GOP on US military action in Iran. Look at this, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.760 and maggot, it's ninety percent approval. It's ninety percent approval, 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.600 just five percent disapprove. If you disapprove of the job 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.760 that Donald Trump is doing, or excuse me, the US 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.520 military action in Iran, and you're a member of the GOP. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.080 Look at this, it's your non maggot, you're not maggot. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.960 It's thirty six percent there, fifty four percent approval. But 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.320 the majority of Republicans approve of the job that the 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.960 US military action is in Iran. And the major of MAGA, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.640 which is the majority of the GOP, very much PROOFDNE 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.680 very little split in Donald Trump's base. Those who are 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.720 disapprove in the GOP, simply put, they hate MAGA. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.480 Okay, So the hardcore Trump base is not that split. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.600 And by the way, even ones who may be about 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.000 love that we're doing in Iran. I hate what we're doing. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.440 Even the ones that may be split. The elections held tomorrow, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.080 they're going out They're voting for Donald Trump. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:27.760 They're going out. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.760 Vote for Donald Whatever side of this whole thing you're on, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:35.760 they're going out there voting for Donald Trump. This disunity 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.800 that people they get scared when they see disunity like 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.240 that email. It makes you nervous. And I understand that. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.760 I just said, hey, are we so? Are we so 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.160 divided that we're going to lose elections and things like 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:53.520 that. That's an understandable paranoia. However, it's good to be able 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.440 to argue amongst ourselves as a party. The Communists are 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.000 never allowed to do this. The Communists are forced into 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.600 one rigid way of thinking and anyone else is purged 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:09.600 from the party. That you can get together with five 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.280 other of your hardcore Republican friends. And one of you 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.720 who says, Bobby Ron to Helen Back, I hope we 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.960 should send in the ground troops and you say we 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.839 should never have gone over there at all, and you're 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.080 arguing and yelling. That's a good thing. That is a 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:26.080 good thing. We can have these discussions like adults. And 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.160 by the way, be very wary of the friend who 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.960 says you can't now you have to think about it 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:37.079 like me. That's stupid. No, you can have an opinion 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.920 on it. The hard cores are still right where they've 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:48.959 always been. The problem is, you don't win national elections 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.120 with your hard cores. The left doesn't and the right doesn't. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.280 The Normans who go whichever way the wind blows, the independence. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.280 It's well known in politics. They decide who wins nationally. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:08.240 They decide for now. For now we've lost them. Doesn't 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.679 mean we can't get them back, but for now they 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.079 have completely abandoned us. All right, we'll do some more 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.040 of these in a moment. Is the Jesse Kelly Show 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:23.000 on a fantastic Thursday. We got Selena Zito coming up 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.640 ten minutes from now. We'll talk to her about everything 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.600 from Ohio Valley pizza to his manufacturing coming back, all 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.240 kinds of things. Don tap for Selena Zito. That'd be 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.040 a good time. If you miss any part of the show, 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:40.520 you can download at iHeart, Spotify iTunes. The headline is 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:46.640 the heck NASCAR suspends driver for using quote gay voice 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.400 to poke fun at fellow racer. I want I'm not 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.120 going to go into the story, but he's twenty two 0:10:55.240 --> 0:11:00.400 years old. Apparently he used a gay voice. I'm not 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.400 even sure exactly what that means to the hell out 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.000 of these people. Oh thank you, Chris. I didn't thank 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.040 you for clearing that up. A little rude, I would say, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:15.040 but I understand that. But look, it's the year twenty 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.120 twenty six. We're gonna go ahead and revert back to 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.600 the year when when dudes could talk like dudes with 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.840 each other in whatever setting they wanted. You know, I 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.120 realized that you dirty word police, you got like this 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.000 two decade log span there where you had to force 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.960 dudes to only speak that way behind closed doors, in 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.839 whispers and things like that. But here in the year 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.840 twenty twenty six, why are you gee, we're bringing men back? 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.600 What Chris, what Jesse, do you really like corn? Tortillas 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.760 more than wheat tortillas. Wheat tortillas, I don't even know 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.400 what a freaking wheat tortilla is. Oh, he's talking about 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:04.840 flower to tias. No, corn tortillas are grainy garbage. And 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.000 I actually have a huge complaint with the enchilada industry 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.800 in this country. I was selling RV's before I took 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.320 this job, and my first RV sales job was in 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:21.040 the Dallas area, and it was actually in Denton, Texas, Denton, Texas, 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.520 and they had this place that I had the best 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.520 enchiladas I've ever had in my entire life, La Milpa, 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.480 La Milpa. I think it was a restaurant in a hotel, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.680 if I remember right, it was in a hotel, what, Chris, 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.319 I can't remember everything, or it was in Mexican anyway, 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.600 you know why there enchiladas were the best because they 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:47.160 made them with flower tortillas. These corn tortillas are grainy 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.240 and awful. I don't understand it. Jesse, are you ever? 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.200 Are you even hearing yourself complaining? All this is about 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.920 last night, about how I don't want to wash my 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.000 car anymore. I don't want to bend over with the 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.760 vacuum and stuff. Your car washing problem solves itself. You 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.480 already own two car washing slaves, who incidentally, are the 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.760 ones who trash your car in the first place. His 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:13.720 name is Eric. I actually thought about this my boys, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:19.880 James and Luke. Why not just make them wash the car? Okay, 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.080 that would make sense, It would make sense. But if 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.439 I may, I don't know if you have sons or 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:32.160 if you're planning on having sons, but you really don't 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:39.360 understand how gross they are. When they're young boys. You'll 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.960 send them off to church camp or something like that, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.880 and they'll come back with a shampoo bottle after three 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.880 or four days that has not been open completely full. Chris, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.080 I'm not making this up. You they have a dirty 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.800 clothes bag. Speaking of church camp, you send them off. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:05.360 He started bringing for breeze for the drive home from 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:10.400 church camp because the dirty clothes bag is so ransom. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.640 When these little animals throw the dirty clothes bag in 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.240 the back of the car when they get to their rooms. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.840 Bob has to square this away all the time when 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.480 they start taking off clothes after practice. Like Luke got 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.640 home last night after track practice, so I go in 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.080 to see him. I go in just to say, Hi, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.360 it's very obvious what happened. He got home after track practice, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.520 he needed to go take a shower. He walks in 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.800 and took off his track clothes and just dropped them 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.640 where they came off of his body. They're piled up 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.080 this late, not even piled up. I'm sorry, that was wrong, 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.880 just strewn across the floor in a line on the 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.880 way to the shower. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:59.320 And he walked out of the shower clean, and there 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:04.400 are dirty this socks in underwear that he's obviously either 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:09.360 stepping on or hopefully at least stepping around, and it 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.000 never occurred to him. 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.400 To bend down and pick it up and put it 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:19.880 in the dirty clothes. What I'm saying is, let's say 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.600 I made them wash my car. We make them do 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.600 other chores, all kinds of chores around the house. But 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.640 let's say I make them go wash my car. Do 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.840 you think I'm going to get a satisfactory car back 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.800 after I send them there? I'm telling you right now, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.640 if I gave them my keys, they would go wash 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.840 my car, and then they would go pick up food 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.520 and eat it in the car on the way. I 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.480 guarantee they would, Chris, they do that stuff. I've had 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.800 to threaten them with their lives to go back out 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.160 to the car. They leave water bottles in the back. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.040 They'll bring food in the back. They can never get 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.120 every fry in their mouths in the back. I have 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:02.280 threatened them and threatened them and threatened them. Little girls 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.960 aren't like this. Okay, little boys, I shouldn't say little boys. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:12.479 They're teenagers now, they're young men. They're disgusting, absolutely disgusting. 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.600 You can't have them wash things for you. You know 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.600 what you do? You make them go out back and 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.400 pick up dog poop, right, You make them do yard work. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.440 You make them if you have something, a chair that 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.080 needs to be assembled to something, you just pass them 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:32.280 the box and say go do that. Cleaning is not 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.640 something they're able to do well. They can't do it. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.360 It's not inside of them. I don't understand it. I 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.960 do understand Selena Zito. She's gonna talk to us about 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.440 everything from pizza to manufacturing to the mood of the voters. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:52.320 And she's gonna do it next. Oh, the legendary Dean Martin. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:57.280 It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday, reminding 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.160 you that tomorrow is an ask doctor Jesse Friday. Get 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.960 your questions emailed in right now to Jesse at Jesse 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.920 kellyshow dot com. Selena, I didn't know you were a 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:08.880 Dean Martin fan. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.720 Actually, Dean Martin is from Stupenville. You should know that. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.760 Of course I know that. Did you know, Selena? That 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.200 there is this little restaurant in Steubenville, Ohio. In fact, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.200 I think when I've talked about this before, it's called 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:29.879 Caprice c A p R. I they have. They have 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:34.320 like three things on the menu, meatball subs, Italian sausage subs. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.000 They don't take credit cards. It's only cash Casha yep, 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:43.600 that cash only. They've been opened since the seventies. It's legendary, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.800 family owned. It's so good that when my mom was 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:51.720 in labor, my dad drove her to the hospital. I 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.159 kid you not, it's a true story. He stopped at 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.480 Capris and got a sandwich on the way to the 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.520 hospital when my mother was in labor. And my mother 0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.520 will tell that story to. 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:05.040 This day, as one does when you're from around the 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:10.080 Ohio Valley right that sort of straddles Pennsylvania and Ohio. 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:15.320 You can also get Steuben Valley or Steubenville or Ohio 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:16.520 Valley Pizza too. 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.680 Yeah, so I'm gonna hand this one over to you. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.920 I've attempted to explain the greatness of this the people before, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.800 but these peasants who've never had it don't fully appreciate it. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.359 Ohio Valley Pizza Go. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:34.359 Ohio Valley Pizza was created by Di Carlo. I'm going 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.439 to forget his first name. World War two veterans stationed 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.240 in Italy comes back home. He sees these like pies 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.560 that are made in Italy. I remember, pizza wasn't a 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.840 thing in the nineteen forties, right, And he couldn't remember 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.879 the recipe, but his family had a bakery. So he 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:55.119 makes the pizza and it has anchovies and sauce and 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.600 cheese in it, and he bakes it, but he feels 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.359 like something is missing, and I know this because I 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:08.160 interview him. So he adds fresh Grande cheese on top, 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.399 which is like prevalone, and mozzarella and it's cold, but 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.920 there's already baked cheese and sauce and whatever you want 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.479 on top, and the textures and the different temperatures and 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:25.800 the flavor is just absolutely intoxicating. And if you get 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.159 it to go, they basically give you a twenty dollars 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.040 bag of cheese to take with you, and which would 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:34.760 you know, and they don't charge you extra. 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.640 Yep. There's a place in Toronto, Ohio where I grew 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.640 up to i was ten called Eggy's. I believe Iggy's 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.840 is still there. Iggy's, Oh the best I've ever had. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.400 All Right, Selena, that's enough of that. Now I'm starving. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.480 We have to talk about the country, Selena. I'm going 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.600 to play something for you. It's really not freaking good. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:52.239 But listen to this. 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.080 Yeah, what about Independence? You'd think this forty one points 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.800 below water is bad. Take a look at Independence. It's 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.919 even worse. I mean sixty points under water. When it 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.280 comes to Trump and the cost of living among Independence 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:05.520 again a record low. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.680 You we lost Independence on the cost of living. Donald 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.720 Trump won the presidency in part because of that. I 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.840 shouldn't say be lost. We're behind with them right now. 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.600 What needs to change? 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:24.240 I think that. I think what needs to change. Look, 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:31.120 here's the problem with what happened during COVID and after COVID, 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.600 with how Biden sort of comported the country, right, how 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.399 he ran things, his prices go up. They never really 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.280 go down unless it's gasoline and eggs. Outside of that, 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.840 we're kind of stuck with it. So how do you 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.360 then make the difference? Right, how do you get people's 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.280 pocketbooks to be where they were in twenty nineteen as 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.720 opposed to that sort of hole that it fell into 0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:02.720 between twenty twenty and now, Well, we had some we 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.560 we had great success. Actually the country had great success 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.120 with the cost of eggs and gasoline going down. However, 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:14.720 the war in Iran has changed that. I would argue temporarily, 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.560 but you know, people don't have patience about gasoline other things. 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:24.000 Those prices are not going to go down, and and 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.000 that's just sort of the cost of doing business with 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.879 that bad politics. Uh, you know, they're not The people 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.320 aren't gonna you know, merchants aren't just going to start 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.680 lowering prices. They just don't do that. And so how 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.760 do you how do you make the difference up? Well, 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.840 a lot of that has to do with home buying, right, 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.399 how do you get the interest rate down? How do 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:51.639 you get predatory venture capitalists from buying homes and driving 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.719 up the cost of homes and neighborhoods? Right, those are 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:58.000 the things that you can do and and also with 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.159 the tariffs. Now, I know that a lot of the 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:05.760 tariffs were deemed illegal, but there's other ways. There's a 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.600 plan B going on it, and it's like an algebra problem, 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.879 so don't ask me to explain it, almost like calculus. 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.000 But you know, those are the ways that you sort 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:21.000 of prosecute attacking the costs and you know, you just 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.640 get out there and be honest with people. I mean, 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.520 I always think that honesty works. People will cut you 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.280 a brake if you're like, look, this is how it is. 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.480 We got to go around the rock because we can't 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.800 go through the rock, and this is how we're going 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:36.399 to fix it. 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:41.080 What are people happy with? Selena did the immigration raids? 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:44.120 I know there were some rumors that some ass some 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.479 parts of the Trump White House thought the immigration raids 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.359 were unpopular, and there were rumors that back off the 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.240 messaging on the whole thing. Were they unpopular? 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:59.960 No, what was unpopular was how the Secretary of dha 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:06.000 Us Christinome sort of made it a glamour event for her. 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:09.080 It came about her. Uh, you always have to be 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.639 on DELA on situations like this that involve families that 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:17.720 can have optics that can make people second guess their 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.520 own core values is you have to have someone up 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:28.360 there that can can tell the story effectively without without 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:33.040 turning people off. And there was a serious messaging problem 0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.120 coming from Dahs. I think the best thing that has 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.159 happened is not that she was bad or good at 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:43.159 her job. The messaging was wrong. And when the messaging 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.040 is wrong, you got to fix it. And so I think, 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.679 how you know, closing the border, people love it. Getting 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:56.639 people out of their your hometowns that have criminal records 0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:02.480 and you know, sort of shady dealings and drug trafficking. Yes, 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.320 everybody wants that out of their neighborhood. People have kids 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.920 and grandkids and daughters and sisters and brothers and parents. 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.480 Any one of them could be a victim any day. 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:17.400 But you've got to have good messaging. And when when 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.400 Nome took over the messaging as opposed to the president, 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:27.120 that became when it became sort of visually unpopular. 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.280 Selita, does the rest belt feel like manufacturing jobs are 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.080 coming back? Is there a positive feeling in these towns? 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:40.720 Yes, absolutely, manufacturing is coming back. I can't put this way. 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.840 I can't I help people. I just I just wrote 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:50.960 a really awesome story in Pittsburgh where a manufacturing facility 0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:55.480 just got his seventy two million dollar defense contract to 0:24:56.440 --> 0:25:01.679 repurpose and fix our navy vessel. Like these kinds of 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:07.560 things are happening all over Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana. 0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:13.119 Right the reshoring of our manufacturing is an undertold story, 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:16.879 and I can't get everywhere to tell that story. But 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:20.960 I'm really really trying. People were happy, the wages are good, 0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.440 the benefits are good. It keeps them in their hometown, 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:29.960 which then therefore keeps them in their community, near their family, 0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.360 near the things that have meaning to them and sort 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:37.760 of reinforces that sense of place. But there's not enough 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.840 of people telling those stories. Selena. 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.400 I just can't ever get on board with the Pittsburgh 0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:49.000
