1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Monday. I'm so happy

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: the work week's just starting, aren't you. So here's what

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: we have this hour. We got Klaye Travis coming up

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: half hour from now. I do need to address the

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: Halloween issue in about ten minutes, but we don't have

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: time for any of that right now, because you know

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: what time it is. It is the start of the

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: second hour on Monday, and that means it's time for

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday. We take a medal of honor, citation,

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: we read it. That's it. We honor the hero, we

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: honor the deeds, we remember them as we should. I again,

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: as I always do, want to encourage you to do

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: this in your own life. I didn't do any of

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: these deeds. I don't know any of this. These are

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: available for everybody. If you're a teacher, do it with

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: your class, If you're an employer, do it in the office,

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: do with your sports team. People love this stuff. It's

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: important and people love it all right. This one is

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: one we've actually never done. In fact, I'm gonna give

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: you a little bit of history around this one before

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: we move on to the rest of the show. But

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: this is the Medal of Honor citation for Teddy Roosevelt,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: President Theodore Roosevelt. That's right, one and the same. There's

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: all kinds of things around this we'll discuss in a moment,

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: but before we do that, we might as well honor

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: the man. He was born in New York, New York.

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Don't know if you knew that Teddy Roosevelt was a

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: New Yorker. He was an old and he was from

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a wealthy family in New York City. Very much a

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: self made though human being wealthy but self made. I'll

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: explain in a few but without further ado. There it

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: is hey honoring those who went above and beyond. It's

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: the risk of his life, above and beyond the call

36
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: of duty. Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt distinguished himself by acts

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: of bravery on the first of July eighteen ninety eight,

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: near Santiago de Cuba, Republic of Cuba, while leading a

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: daring charge up San Juan Hill. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, in

40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: total disregard for his personal safety, and accompanied by only

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: four or five men, led a desperate and gallant charge

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: up San Juan Hill, encouraging his troops to continue the

43
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: assault through withering enemy fire over open countryside. Facing the

44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: enemy's fire, he displayed extraordinary bravery throughout the charge and

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: was first to reach the enemy trenches, where he quickly

46
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: killed one of the enemy with his pistol, allowing his

47
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: men to continue the assault. His leadership and valor turned

48
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the tide in the Battle for San Juan Hill. Lieutenant

49
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Colonel Roosevelt's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect

51
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: great credit upon himself, his unit in the United States Army.

52
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to give you a little bit of history,

53
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: little background on the Spanish American War and on Teddy Roosevelt.

54
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: So you know how we had that discussion a couple

55
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I think it was about how I feel

56
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: that we should conquer more of the Western hemisphere. Now

57
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: this whole thing kind of makes me agree, because Cuba

58
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: is one of those things we should have never given up.

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: The Spanish had control of Cuba, we launched the Spanish

60
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: American War against them. Now you probably already know this story.

61
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: In case you don't, we had a warship parked off

62
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: of the coast of Cuba. We were having obviously some

63
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: tensions with the Spanish. This warship was called the Main,

64
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: as in the state the Main. It blew up one night.

65
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Nobody knows, and now we're at the point where nobody

66
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: will ever know why it blew up. Did the Spanish

67
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: do it? We don't know. Did someone was someone smoking

68
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: a cigarette in the magazine of the ship and drop

69
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: some ashes on it. We don't know. We'll never know.

70
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: But what we do know is what came next. In

71
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: what is known as yellow journalism, America's media, major media outlets,

72
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: major newspapers whipped the American people up into a frenzy,

73
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: saying the Spanish blew up our warship. The rallying cry

74
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: across the country was, remember the Main. Remember the Main.

75
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: If I remember right, I think there are even stupid

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: old salt and stuff like that they wrote about it.

77
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: Remember the Main, Remember the Main. So we decide we've

78
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: had enough of these dirty Spaniards and we are going

79
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: to go down there and we're going to beat the

80
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Spanish up in Cuba, but we didn't have much of

81
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: an army. America was made to not have much of

82
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: a standing army. Our founders oneed a very minimal standing army.

83
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: We just didn't have many guys. The President of the

84
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: United States of America starts getting legislation passed that not

85
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: only beefs up the army for the coming expedition. He's

86
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: fled out asking for volunteers, and he finds somebody who

87
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: is more than willing to volunteer. That man's name was

88
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt. Now let's pause for just a moment. Why

89
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: would Teddy Roosevelt volunteer? There is this there's this thing.

90
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for women, but I know

91
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: this thing exists in men. Where you have a father,

92
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: or maybe you didn't, but your father, oftentimes you will

93
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: become what he is, and oftentimes you will try very

94
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: hard and succeed in making sure you're not what he is.

95
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: It just totally depends Teddy Roosevelt's father. I don't want

96
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: to make him sound like a bad guy at all,

97
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: at all. There's no I haven't read anything to indicate

98
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: that that Teddy Roosevelt's father sat out the Civil War.

99
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Did not fight in the Civil War. Teddy Roosevelt was

100
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: a very sickly young boy, very very sickly. Teddy Roosevelt,

101
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: through what appears to be will I don't even know.

102
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: I still don't understand fully what happened, decides that he's

103
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: going to make himself a tough guy. He's just going

104
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: to become one. He is sickly, he is weak, he

105
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: gets picked on by the other kids. That he just

106
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: starts training, training his body. He's just boxing, wrestling. He

107
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: was physically, by far, the toughest president we've ever had,

108
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: maybe Abe Lincoln, who was an accomplished wrestler, but physically,

109
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, one on one, they're all in the ring,

110
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt would probably beat the living daylights out of

111
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: any of them. Just became that way. He was so

112
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: interested in being the ultimate American and a tough guy

113
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: that before all this, before the Spanish American War, he'd

114
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: lost his wife, things like that. I won't go into details.

115
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: He moves out to the Dakotas, which are brutal, especially

116
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: back then in the winter time, and he just becomes

117
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: a cowboy. This is a New York socialite and he's

118
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: a no I want to be a wider. I'm gonna

119
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: go out, and he did it. There's toughest nails and

120
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: got very good on a horse, very good with weapons.

121
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Fast forward. Part of this volunteer thing for the Spanish

122
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: American War was, Hey, Teddy, why don't you take some guys.

123
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: He raises about eleven one hundred men, and they were

124
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: known as the rough Riders. Many of them were ranchers,

125
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: because he wanted guys. This was going to be a

126
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: cavalry unit all horseback. Many of them were ranchers. Many

127
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: of them were polo players or cross country riders. Many

128
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: of them were Indian tribesmen who were experienced on horses,

129
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Cherokees and things like that. It sounds like a motley

130
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: crew that it was. They were selected for their horsemanship,

131
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: and Teddy Roosevelt himself was a very accomplished horseman. They

132
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: ended up down in Cuba, really really crappy. Fighting. Disease

133
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: was a terrible problem, malaria and yellow fever. We're talking

134
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: about a lot of tropical environment, a lot of tropical fighting.

135
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: It was killing the Spanish, it was killing us, and

136
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt again, he just decided he was going to

137
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: be brave by force of will. He just goes charging

138
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: up this hill. It is disputed whether or not he

139
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: was the first. Teddy Roosevelt says he was the first.

140
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: There are men who served with him who say he

141
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: was the first. He likely was the first. There are

142
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: other accounts that say, ah, there were other people, and

143
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: no matter what, it was a very very brave thing

144
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: to do to just go charging up in open hill

145
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: when people are shooting down on you. Is that's brave.

146
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: That's very very brave. And so our American president on

147
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore goes charging up the hill, runs into some

148
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: guy trying to kill him, pulls out a pistol and

149
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: guns him down like the wiaterp he decided he was

150
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: going to be Teddy Roosevelt. I actually politically have a

151
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: lot of disagreements with him. He's much more big government

152
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: than I am. But as a man, as a human being,

153
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm a huge admirer, a huge admirer. He is somebody

154
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: that is fascinating. I only said all this because I

155
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: wanted to encourage you. If this kind of stuff interests you,

156
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt would be a fascinating person to read about.

157
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: You're a kid listening, maybe you have a school project

158
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: coming up. If you did one on Teddy Roosevelt, you

159
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: would enjoy the homework. I'll put it that way. He's

160
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: he's like an action hero. He's that way, just a

161
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: wild man. He used to box visiting dignitaries. He'd make

162
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: them box or wrestle. He finally had to stop because

163
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: he got hit so hard that he went like blind

164
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: in one eye. And so I'll just move on to wrestling.

165
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: He's just one of the dude's amazing dudes. Wold, all right,

166
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: before we get back to politics, I'm gonna get to

167
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: some emails. I do want to address something that's odd.

168
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: I ran into something odd on Friday night. It is

169
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday. Remember you

170
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

171
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to those here in a few Also,

172
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: we have Clay Travis. Of course, if the Clay Travis

173
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show coming up about ten minutes from now,

174
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: we'll be riffing with Clay for a few Oh, that's

175
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: so much more still to come the Jesse Kelly's Show.

176
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: We did get this one though, Jesse. We have a

177
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: grandchild that is a first grader. The teacher and staff

178
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: preach about peani allergies. He've afraid, he's afraid to touch

179
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: the stuff. It's worse than their climate propaganda. And I've

180
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: brought the climate propaganda is actually about to come into

181
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: play here on the show in a few But so

182
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: I need to set stage for you. Friday night was Halloween.

183
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: I told you on Friday the Kellys have finally upgraded

184
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,239
Speaker 1: to full sized candy bars. Right, we went full size.

185
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: Now I need to set it all. I need to

186
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: set stage. Bob. Of course, I kind of get the shaft.

187
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment. But Ob pulls

188
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: out this huge tray. It's sitting by the front door.

189
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: We have on this tray Starburst, Skittles, her She's chocolate bars,

190
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: just a straight chocolate bar, Snickers, Twigs, Reese's Peanut butter cups,

191
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: and butterfingers. All right, so we have that. It's those

192
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: eight things. You know, I'm fascinated by people. And we've

193
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: had this talk before about about candy bulls in the office.

194
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: You know how the secretary has a candy bull up there.

195
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: What's the last thing? Always in the little candy bull

196
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers because it sucks and nobody likes it, and

197
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: you can yell all you want that it's great. I'm sorry,

198
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: but people don't lie. They pick around the Three Musketeers.

199
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: With a selection like this of so many of the basics,

200
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: I was fascinated. What was gonna go first? What wasn't

201
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna go first? Now? First thing off the board, Skittles

202
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the skittle That's not surprising. Everybody takes a handful of Skittles,

203
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: tosses them all in the mouth, chews them up until

204
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: it's just one ball of delicious sugary crack, and then

205
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: you swallow it down. Skittles are amazing, No surprise skills. Second,

206
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: now I thought this was a little surprising. Twis I

207
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: like Twigs. This is not an anti Twix rand. But second,

208
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: off the board, Yeah, there's butterfingers there, there's the Reese's

209
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: Peanut butter cups are right there, Twigs. Third, straight up,

210
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Hrshley's chocolate Bar. That's exactly what I said. Jewish producer

211
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Chris just said, why now I like it? If someone

212
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: offers me a square, I'm not a huge candy person,

213
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: I admit I like it. I would never if I

214
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: was buying a candy bar in the gas station with

215
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: all those selections, go Hershey's chocolate bar. But the kids did. Okay,

216
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: you can defend all this. But before the Reeses and

217
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: the Snickers, I did mention Snickers, right, I hope I did.

218
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: If I didn't mention Snickers, I should have because that's

219
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: important to the story. Full size Snickers. We couldn't give

220
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: them away. Nobody wanted them. The Snickers did not go

221
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: until everything else had been wiped off the tray, absolutely

222
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: everything else, and we had to go get the spare

223
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: packs of Hershees, spare packs of Skills. The skills were

224
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: gone in the first twenty minutes. It just wiped out

225
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: everything else had to be gone. At the end of

226
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: the night, the only thing left on the tray were

227
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Snickers bars and butterfinger bars. No butterfinger and so I

228
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: put this out on social media, how weird this was,

229
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of responses like this, is

230
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: this a peanut allergy thing? I'm not trying to be

231
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: little anybody. I don't know. I know peanut allergies are real.

232
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: Is this so prevalent and dangerous in the next generation

233
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: that now kids are afraid of buying Reese's Peanut or

234
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: g Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Chris says, no way. Yeah,

235
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: but your kids are young. You're your baby's young, Corey's

236
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: baby's young. My sons don't have this. I've never heard

237
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: of this before. This was news to me, and I

238
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: know this is the most unimportant thing in the world.

239
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was fascinating. The Snickers, I'll give you,

240
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Snickers is always mid tier. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, that's

241
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: top tier candy bar, that's on almost everybody's top five.

242
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: What Chris, Chris said, when you're going through candy, you're

243
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to unwrap Reese's twice. Chris, you're thinking like

244
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: a logical adult. Children hyped up on sugar at Halloween

245
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: are not walking through this like you taking a part

246
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: of car engine, You goober. The kids are not gonna

247
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: worry about an extra little piece of paper on rate

248
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: on reeis is the only the only way I would

249
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: push back on that and maybe say you could get

250
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: agreement on that is what's up with the starburst? The

251
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: starbursts were not big either. Now that you have to

252
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: unwrap twice and it's not easy to unwrap it twice.

253
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: You have to dig your fingernails at what it didn't

254
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: go because Starburs sucks. It's not that it sucks. It

255
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: can be too hard. It could be if you get

256
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: Star Wars that's fresh enough, where it's nice and squishy,

257
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: it's fine. I don't want to have to pull out

258
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: my molars trying to eat candy, or I'm just not

259
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: doing it. I have no idea why we just talked

260
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: about this for like ten minutes, but we're gonna, you

261
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna ask Klay Travis about it in

262
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes and then we'll move on. I

263
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: swear we'll get back to other important things. It is

264
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday. Reminding you

265
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

266
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: Joining me now reluctantly because we're gonna talk about his

267
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: new book and other things. Is my buddy Clay Travis.

268
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Of course, of the Claye Travis and Buck Sexton Show

269
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly need an introduction on this program, Okay, Clay.

270
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Before we get into politics and the book and everything else,

271
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: there was a weird phenomenon at the Kelly household. I

272
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: just talked about it. I want to know if you

273
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: experienced this Halloween night. Skittles went super fast, Twigs super fast,

274
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Reese's peanut butter cups lagging way behind Snickers. Snickers might

275
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: as well have not even showed up. McLay, I've got

276
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Snickers coming out the wazoo. Now what happened at the

277
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: Travis household.

278
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: So Reese's peanut butter cups are like the gold standard. Yes,

279
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: they're the ten at the bar at closing hour that

280
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: you can't even believe would still be available. So so

281
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 2: Reese went like crazy. The one that I realize I'm

282
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 2: getting to be an old guy on and having to

283
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: learn its like Nerds gummy concoction the kids on the

284
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: nerd gummy creation, and I haven't even tried this yet.

285
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: This is where I feel like, as my boys call me,

286
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: the ultimate unk. I don't know if you ever are

287
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: called this, but you know, an old guy who's not

288
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: necessarily plugged in is now called an unk by the

289
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: young kids, obviously short for uncle. But but I am

290
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: the Travis family unk beyond the shadow of a doubt,

291
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: And so I didn't even know these things existed. I

292
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: couldn't believe how popular they were. And my boys are

293
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: like of course, and even my wife is like, you know,

294
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: where have you been? And I'm like, well, sitting around

295
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: watching a lot of sports, not aware of gummy gummy nerds.

296
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: I guess concoctions. But but yeah, this was we gave

297
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: out how much like how busy is your house? Like

298
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: how many people would you bet come by on a Halloween?

299
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well, this is another point that I don't understand

300
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: that I feel like things have changed from seven to eight.

301
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I would say there's a kid every five minutes, not

302
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: super busy, and we're in a neighbor a bunch of kids.

303
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Eight o'clock, noticeable drop off. By eight thirty. You can

304
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: throw the candy outside, they're gone. I feel like we

305
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: didn't start trigger treating till eight thirty nine o'clock when

306
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I don't understand what's happened to kids.

307
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: So my house, it starts in daylight. So I mean

308
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: we start getting slammed now. I think it's because there's

309
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: so many young kids and there are some you know,

310
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: parents out there, and they're like, I want to be

311
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: off the streets by the time it gets dark because

312
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: we got bad time and everything else. So the young

313
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: kids starting about five thirty Central in the Nashville area, boom,

314
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: people are just flooding it just I'm not kidding about this.

315
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: So this is fun. Years ago, I got into a

316
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: dispute with a company called Jack Daniels Fire. Do you

317
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: remember Jack Daniels when they got into the cinnamon whiskey business.

318
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so this is.

319
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: A funny story. I don't know that you that you

320
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: have heard me tell this story for it's probably like

321
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: eight years ago. I got contacted. They're like, hey, we

322
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: know you like to drink. I was like yeah, okay,

323
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: and they're like, we'll pay you. They were doing a

324
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: launch party in Nashville. They're like, we'll pay you three

325
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: grand if you will show up and just you know,

331
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: I agreed to do that. I think this is probably

332
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: like twenty seventeen. Or so. Like six weeks later, I

333
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 2: get called and they're like, hey, this is so and

334
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: so with Jack Daniels fire. I'm like yeah, and they're like,

335
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: some of your social media posts we believe are bringing

336
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: the brand potentially into disreputable percils. I swear to God.

337
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 2: Whiskey company Jack Daniels like, I mean, do you know

338
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: who consumes your product? They were like, you are no

339
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: longer able to come to our Cinnamon Whiskey event. We

340
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: are canceling your invitation. I swear to God. I was like,

341
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: is this I thought I was. I thought it was

342
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: one of my buddies like pranking me, because you know,

343
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: like I probably bragged. I'm like, yeah, I'm getting three

344
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: grand to pose, you know, I mean I I three grands,

345
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: a lot of freaking money to just post a whiskey model, right,

346
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: and you know they probably got, you know, pretty fun

347
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: crowd that's showing up to come drink. I was like,

348
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: I'll show up for three I mean, I wanna go

349
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: to the bar probably for free between you and me

350
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: for three grand. So I'm all set, all set to

351
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: show up. They cancel on me, and I was like,

352
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: what did I say? And this you'll love this. They

353
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: were like, well, your comments about Confederate statues being torn

354
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: down brought the brand into disrepute. I'm like, Jack daniels

355
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: brothers fought for the Confederacy. The only reason the Tennessee Company,

356
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: the only reason Jack Daniels wasn't a Confederate soldier was

357
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: because he was too young when the Civil War happened

358
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: to actually fight in the Civil War. I was like,

359
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: do you know who consumes your brand? What percentage of

360
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: whiskey drinkers are? Like, you know what, I want more

361
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: historical statues torn down. So this is one hundred percent truth.

362
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: So the story Fireball sent me their top competitor. They

363
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: sent me a fireball machine. They sent me like like,

364
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: it is like the same thing that they have in

365
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: the bar. It's a chiller. You plug it in, you

366
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: turn a fireball, you know, plastic bottle upside down, double loaded.

367
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: It will feed constant fireball shots out to anybody chilled,

368
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: you know, directly out. So, starting about a decade ago,

369
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, eight years ago, whenever they sent this

370
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: to me, we started giving out shots to parents in

371
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: our neighborhood who would come by with kids, you know,

372
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: if they wanted it so kids get a trick or treat,

373
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: they get anything. And then my wife, you know, is

374
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: manning the shot machine. And so on Halloween for the

375
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: last several you know, last almost a decade in this house,

376
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: we have now given out last on Halloween. On Friday,

377
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: we gave out seventeen bottles of Fireball cinnamon whiskey. And

378
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: it all started because those morons that Jack Daniels said, Clay,

379
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: you're too controversial, and to their credit, Fireball sent me

380
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: a shot making machine and so we get We gave

381
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 2: out seventeen bottles of fireball shots. Everybody loves it. And

382
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, there are worse things than having some alcohol

383
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: when you're having to walk around and chase your kids

384
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: all over the neighborhood. So so yeah, seventeen bottles. My

385
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: wife has been in charge over the last years. And

386
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: we're now moving and we have beweats to the Fireball

387
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: shop machine to a neighbor so that trend can continue

388
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood.

389
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I kid you not speaking with Clay Travis. He has

390
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: a new book Balls out, which we are going to

391
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: get to here in just a couple of months. I

392
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: kid you not to piggyback off your story, not to

393
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Tommy Topper you at all, Clay, but we also had

394
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: We were not those people, but we had people in

395
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: our neighborhood. It was right on the corner, like to

396
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: call to us, that corner, and they were doing the

397
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: same type thing. It wasn't just fireball though. They had

398
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: one of the big, like gigantic coolers and they were

399
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: handing out like I think it's a college party, jello

400
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: shots and all kinds of stuff and them all No

401
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: I'm not interested, no thank you, no thank you. But

402
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: one of my buddies in the neighborhood was very interested, Clay,

403
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: and he happened to be the same buddy who took

404
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: the governor off the golf cart he bought for his house. Oh,

405
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: he spent too much time in that corner. One night,

406
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: long story short, the golf cart ended up upside down

407
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road and the ambulance came

408
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: in and he had thirty five stitches in his legs

409
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: because the golf cart ended up on top of it.

410
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: And that was the last time they rolled out the

411
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: white cooler full of jello shots and fireball. Close friend

412
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: of mine solely responsible for getting the alcohol taken out

413
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: of the neighborhood on Halloween.

414
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: Knight, Well, your friend, I mean, we have tons of

415
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: golf carts in our neighborhood, and most people walk because

416
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: it's a very walkable neighborhood and everything else. But the

417
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: number of serious I mean, like this sort of a psa,

418
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 2: the number of serious injuries that I've heard from people

419
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: on golf carts. I think because you just don't think

420
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: about a golf cart as being dangerous, but the number

421
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: of times that guys tip him over or that you

422
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: had accurbed the wrong way, I think the golf cart

423
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: is actually more dangerous than the actual car because in

424
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: most neighborhoods, you would have to be a true moron

425
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: driving twenty or twenty five miles an hour to hurt

426
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: yourself in a car, right, I mean, you have to

427
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: be like, literally an absolute moron to hurt yourself in

428
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: the car to go in that speed. But at golf cars,

429
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: people are getting screwed up all the time. I had

430
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: a buddy to one up your the guy that I

431
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: sold OutKick with my business partner. He was on his

432
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: fortieth birthday, hadn't even had any drinks. He was down

433
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: on the beach driving around in the neighborhood as a

434
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 2: lot of people have golf cars. They took a corner,

435
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: he says. He thinks they just had too many people

436
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: on one side. It flipped off. His foot got caught

437
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: between the brake pad, the and the He almost died.

438
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: They had to transfuse him because they hit the artery

439
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: to such an extent that he was bleeding to such

440
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: an extent. And look, you never even he was like,

441
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: I never even considered that I was doing anything dangerous.

442
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: I think he had like three buddies sitting on one

443
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: side and only one on the other. And when they

444
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: hit a curve, that thing flipped over and he got

445
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: caught under it.

446
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be careful how many feminists you

447
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: put on one side of the golf cart. We are

448
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: gonna come right back and talk to Clay Travis for

449
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: one more segment about his book. He's got this great

450
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: book out. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a

451
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: Monday Back with Clay Travis. Clay Travis, of course with

452
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. But has a book

453
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: out now called Balls, How Young Men Trump in Sports

454
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: Saved America. Clay how did young men save America?

455
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think you and I agree on this because

456
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: you have young sons too. I've got three and they

457
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: are just over the bs. And sometimes rebellion can be

458
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: a bad thing because sometimes your kids rebel, as all

459
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: of you who've raised teenagers know, sometimes people just rebel

460
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: against things that are actually really good, and you're like,

461
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: you want to slap them around because you're like, hey,

462
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: you're a moron, you know. Deciding that you want to

463
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: make d's instead of a's because you think it's not

464
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: cool to get good grades is not really a smart rebellion.

465
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: Other times, there are rebellions that actually make sense, And

466
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: I think young men are fed up with being told

467
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: that they are the cause of all problems in the world.

468
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: You and I are around the same age. We grew

469
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: up with the idea being that you should be treated equally,

470
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: not that everybody's equal, because we all have different skills

471
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: and talents. But these kids grew up and it started

472
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: with young white boys. Now it's young black boys, Hispanic boys,

473
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: Asian boys. They're all being told there's a problem with

474
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: being male, that masculinity is toxic, and they all just

475
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: look around and they say this is not true, and

476
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: I think they've gotten fed up. And I actually think culturally,

477
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: they are coming back around to the idea that there's

478
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: something to aspire to about masculinity, that we should be

479
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: proud of it, that they want to go row up

480
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: and be masculine men. And this is what the book

481
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: is about. How do we raise stronger boys the cultural

482
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: revolution that I think is happening. And you know, they

483
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: saying someone is a Kamala voter is an insult for

484
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: my boys, right Like, when they're like sitting around making

485
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: fun of somebody, they're like, oh, that dude voting Kamala,

486
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 2: and it like it brings down the house, right Like

487
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: they just all die laughing at it. And I think

488
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: it's a sign of the Democrat Party having lost young

489
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: men and just not become cool. And I think it's

490
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: only growing with the younger generation and I'm super optimistic

491
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: about it. But you know, we have a lot of

492
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: work to do as men, because unfortunately, we still have

493
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: way too many absent dads, We have way too many

494
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: families that are single parent moms trying to do both jobs.

495
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: And you know, the data reflects that young girls actually

496
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: do well when there's a strong woman in the household

497
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: makes sense, like sending them a message. But young boys

498
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: are the ones that actually struggle the most when mom

499
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: is trying to cover both sides because a lot of

500
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: dads are not living up to their obligations. And I

501
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: know there's grandpas and uncles out there and male figures

502
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: that try to lift up everyone. But this is about

503
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: how men are stronger and have to take back, frankly,

504
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: the country and lead us to a better place. And

505
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic there are green shoots of that starting to happen.

506
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Clay, I've only got a few minutes left here. Can

507
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: you explain to me, because I know you are a father,

508
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: and I am well aware because we're friends, how much

509
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: you adore your children. I mean, anyone who follows you

510
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: listens to who knows that. I just live and die

511
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: for my kids. They're just so they're so awesome. I

512
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: don't understand why you would run out on your children.

513
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: I just I cannot fundamentally understand it, even if you're

514
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: completely selfish, there's so much fun. I don't get it.

515
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: Can you help me understand it?

516
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I told my wife, who was

517
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: the saint as you can well event and as your

518
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: wife is also a saint, as everyone listening can imagine.

519
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: But I told her before. I was like, Hey, if

520
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: you decide you're going to divorce me, I understand, but

521
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: just so you know, I will buy the house across

522
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: the street or next door and just leave the door

523
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: unlocked constantly, because I cannot imagine living and not being

524
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: around my boys. And I'm fortunate to have three. They're seventeen, fifteen,

525
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: and eleven, but they are my life's purpose. They are

526
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: the most important thing in my life by far, and

527
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: I can't imagine not being around them. And I tell

528
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: them all the time, Hey, I want you guys to

529
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: grow up, get married, have as many kids as you

530
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: possibly can. Because I don't really understand. And I understand

531
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: some people can't have kids, don't have kids, don't find

532
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: the right person. I understand all that, trust me, But

533
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: I just for me personally, and I think this is

534
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: true for a lot of men without a family to

535
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: provide for and without kids to raise. I just I

536
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: think I would struggle in life. I don't think I

537
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: would find very much purpose because at some point it's

538
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: a lot of fun to be hedonistic and go out

539
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: and have steaks and chase girls and all those things.

540
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: But at some point you've run out of hedonism in

541
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: some way and you do start to wonder what is

542
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: the purpose of life? And for me, it's raising three

543
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: strong boys who I hope are really good dads. I

544
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: know you lost your dad recently. My dad is eighty one.

545
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: He's I was fortunate to have an incredible dad, and

546
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 2: I always say, if I can be nearly as good

547
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: of a dad as my dad was, then my boys

548
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: are going to do really well. So that's my life's

549
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: purpose now. It's to raise three boys who are really

550
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: good dads and get married and have a bunch of

551
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: kids themselves, and I hope I get to have a

552
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: lot of grandkids, you know, in the future. That would

553
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: be you know, sort of my ideal world would be

554
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: kicking back. You know, my wife god Lover basically lives

555
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: in a frat house now because the boys just, you know,

556
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: they all just want to get you know, hamburgers and

557
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: French fries and potato chips and soda and just watch games.

558
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: And it's like filthy, and it smells in the house

559
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: all the time, and like it's not clean, and my

560
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: wife's just rolling her eyes because she has Thank god

561
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: we don't have three daughters, because I would be think

562
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: I would probably you know, be in significant trouble. But yeah,

563
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: she's got the three boys and me, and I'm the

564
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: toughest to deal with. But it is, it's an incredible experience.

565
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: I can't imagine not living with them.

566
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: He is Clay Travis. His new book is Balls, and

567
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm asking you personally, let's go buy that book. Let's

568
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: go get those numbers up for our boy, Clay Travis.

569
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: He's close friend of mine. Balls. You get it anywhere,

570
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: Go get that book. Thank you so much, Clay. I'll

571
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: talk to you soon. My brother
