You know, in New York people don't 9 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: understand this. In New York, New York City, I'm talking 10 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: about they have grocery stores there. I know, you know this. 11 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: They're just small. And then they don't have room. You know, everything. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Everything you find out in cities, especially old cities like 13 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: New York City, it's small. It's tiny. Even your hotel. 14 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: You go get some. They got me some when the 15 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: suits flew me up there to work on all this 16 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: radio deal stuff a year from now. They got me 17 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: this fancy hotel. I think it costs like two hundred 18 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars a night, or two or three hundred 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: bucks a night or something like that. Right, some fancy hotel. Dude, 20 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: if you would have farted in that room. It would 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: have gave you a concussion. And that's a nice room. 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: It's just everything small. Their grocery stores are small too. 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: See everyone listening to the sound of my voice on 24 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: seven ten WR is just nodding their head and laughing 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: right now. But you have to understand, people don't know this. 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: Outside of New York. They call those grocery stores. In 27 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: New York, the tiny little ones are called bodegas. I 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: only explain that to you because I wanted to let 29 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: President Biden President Jill Biden. For some reason, she's always 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: out there giving campaign speeches, which is very odd. No 31 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: one elected her to do anything at all. I don't 32 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: know why she doesn't pipe down but press it in. 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: Jill was giving another campaign speech and she decided she 34 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: was going to give a shout out to the almighty bodega. 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: And I'm not even doing a joke. That's how you 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: say it. They're called bodegas unless you're Jill Biden. Raoul 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: of this community as distinct as the Boga dos of 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: the Bronx, as beautiful the Boga does. And then right 40 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: after that, she's signed on with a good old fashioned 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: buenas tardes and we are out of here, everybody.

I'm 57 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: trying to go through this, maybe the longest one I've 58 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: ever read, because he did so much.

This is the Green Rays, by the way, 69 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: that's what this was. When the camp was attacked by 70 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: a large North Vietnamese and Vietcong force in the early 71 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: morning hours, Sergeant first class Atkins rushed through intense enemy 72 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: fire and manned a mortar position, continually adjusting fire for 73 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: the camp, despite incurring wounds as the mortar pit received 74 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: several direct hits from enemy mortars. Upon learning that several 75 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: soldiers were wounded near the center of the camp, he 76 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: temporarily turned the mortar over to another soldier, ran through 77 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: exploding mortar shells, and dragged several comrades to safety. As 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: the hostile fire subsided. Sergeant first class Atkins exposed himself 79 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: to sporadic sniper fire while carrying his wounded comrades to 80 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: the camp dispensary. When Sergeant class Atkins and his group 81 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: of defenders came under heavily under heavy small arms fire 82 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: from the members of the civilian Irregular Defense Group that 83 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: had defected to fight with the North Vietnamese, he maneuvered 84 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: outside the camp to evacuate a seriously wounded American and 85 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: draw fire, all while successfully covering the rescue. When a 86 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: res air drop landed outside the camp perimeter, Sergeant first 87 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: class Atkins again moved outside of the camp walls to 88 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: retrieve the much needed supplies. I'm halfway through. During the 89 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: early morning hours of March tenth, nineteen sixty six, enemy 90 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: forces launched their main attack within two hours, and within 91 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: two hours Sergeant first class Atkins was the only man 92 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: firing a mortar weapon. All mortar rounds were expended. Sergeant 93 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: first class began placing effective recoilist rifer rifle fire upon 94 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: enemy positions, despite receiving additional wounds from enemy rounds exploding 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: on his batoon, Sergeant first class Atkins fought off in 96 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: tense waves of attacking viet Cong Sargeant first Class Atkins 97 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: eliminated numerous insurgents with small arms fire. After withdrawing to 98 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: a communications bunker with several soldiers running extremely low on ammunition, 99 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: he returned to the mortar pit, gathered vital ammunition, and 100 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: ran through intense fire back to another bunker. I'm still 101 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: not done, by the way. After being ordered to evacuate 102 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: the camp, Sergeant first class Atkins and a small group 103 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: of soldiers destroyed all signal equipment and classified documents, dug 104 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: their way out of the rear of the bunker, and 105 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: fought their way out of the camp. While carrying a 106 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: wounded soldier to the extraction point, he learned that the 107 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: last helicopter had already departed. Sargeant first fass led the 108 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: group while evading the enemy until they were rescued by 109 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: a helicopter on March twelfth, nineteen sixty six. During the 110 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: thirty eight hour battle and forty eight hours of escape 111 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: in evasion, fighting with mortars, machine guns, recoiless rifles, small arms, 112 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: and hand grenades, it was estimated that Sergeant first class 113 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: Atkins killed between a hundred and thirty five and one 114 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five of the enemy while sustaining eighteen 115 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: different wounds to his body. Searching First Class Atkins extraordinary 116 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty 117 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: or in keeping with the highest traditions of military service, 118 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: and reflect great credit upon himself. Detachment A one oh 119 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: two fifth Special Forces Group, first Special Forces and the 120 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: United States arm Other than that, what did he do 121 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: over there? Really? I mean, Chris, I mean, what did 122 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: the guy actually get done over there? He murdered so 123 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: many Vietnamese with various weapons. I don't even know. I mean, 124 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: that's got to be some kind of a record. What 125 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: O stud Benny Atkins, remember the name? Look that and 126 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: President Jill Biden helped build this organization with the understanding 127 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: that the diversity of this community as distinct as the 128 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Bogadas of the Bronx those of the Bronx. But things 129 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: are going very well. I mean, they also asked Jake 130 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Sullivan today, Hey, gas prices. Joe Biden's going to the 131 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: Middle East. By the way, Remember Joe Biden's going to 132 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: the Middle East. He just had to rest up first 133 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: before he could get on Air Force one and go 134 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: take two meetings in the Middle East. But he had 135 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: to go to the Middle East. What's he going to do? Oh, well, 136 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: you'll sleep well knowing we are officially a beggar country 137 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: that has to go pleading with other nations for help. Chris, 138 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: the butten's not working. Oh this stupid thing. The well 139 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: that was gonna be a clip of Jake Sullivan saying 140 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Biden will use every tool to get the Saudis. Apparently 141 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna use Chris, with Chris, every sadie to get 142 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: the Saudis to lower oil and gas prices. So we 143 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: are now sending the commander in chief overseas not to 144 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: project strength, not to lead when it comes to negotiating 145 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: deals for ourselves and others. We are sending the president 146 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: to the United States of America overseas to beg How 147 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: embarrassing is that there are risks for the president politically 148 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: to go to Saudi Arabia with an expectation among the 149 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: public that maybe there will be a specific deliverable when 150 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: it comes to gas prices. What is the burden on 151 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: the president to come home with something in that category. Well, 152 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: it's up to you to characterize things like burdens on 153 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: the president. What I can say is what the president 154 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: intends to do. He intends to use every tool in 155 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: his toolbox to try to create adequate global energy supplies 156 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: and to bring the price to gas down for American 157 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: working families at the pump. And that will be measured 158 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: over time. Can we get that price down and can 159 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: we keep it down? And I don't think it's going 160 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: to be measured on Friday or Saturday of this week. 161 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: I think we'll be measured over the weeks and months 162 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: to come, and there we will sustain intensive engagement in 163 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: our effort to ensure that at the end of the day, 164 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: we're having a positive impact on the price of oil 165 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: and thereby a positive impact on the price of gas. 166 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: He's going to use every tool in his toolbox. You see. Now, 167 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: maybe you're questioning whether I have very much to say 168 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: about that. Actually I have a lot to say about that, 169 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: because I think it's really important we understand something about 170 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: what you're hearing and what you're seeing and what's going 171 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: on right now. Just put that in your back pocket 172 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: for just a moment. I will get to it. But 173 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: first I'm going to actually try to save you money 174 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: and get you a good night's sleep.

Because mich Lindell 179 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: still believes we have serious election integrity problems and we 180 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: should talk about them. You want to talk about the 181 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: the system censoring people, maybe go to my Pillow right now. 182 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: Because Mike Linnell got so heated about the whole thing. 183 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: He has a flash sale going on on the glorious 184 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: my Pillows.

Get right to the 217 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: point now before I get into this WEF World Economic Forum. 218 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: You know, the climate change insanity. This all ties right 219 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: into it. I want to play this Jake Sullivan sound 220 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: but again again. Jake Sullivan's asked today about Joe Biden's 221 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: trip to the Middle East. What are his plans? What's 222 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: he wants to do? Well, just sit back and the 223 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: set of this. There are risks for the president politically 224 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: to go to Saudi Arabia with an expectation among the 225 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: public that maybe there will be a specific delivery mole 226 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to gas prices. What is the burden 227 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: on the president to come home with something in that category. Well, 228 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: it's up to you to characterize things like burdens on 229 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: the president. What I can say is what the President 230 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: intends to do. He intends to use every tool in 231 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: his toolbox to try to create out a quick global 232 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: energy supplies and to bring the price of gas down 233 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: for American working families at the pump, and that will 234 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: be measured over time. Can we get that price down 235 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: and can we keep it down? And I don't think 236 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be measured on Friday or Saturday of 237 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: this week. I think will be measured over the weeks 238 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: and months to come, and there we will sustain intensive 239 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: engagement in our effort to ensure that at the end 240 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: of the day, we're having a positive impact on the 241 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: price of oil and thereby a positive impact on the 242 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: price of gas. I want you to imagine something. I 243 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: want you to imagine you came into the studio one day. 244 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: You came into the studio, you rated the kitchen snacks 245 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: and we're all here, and then you came into this 246 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: room where I get to make radio magic and TV magic. 247 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: Don't forget I have a TV show every night on 248 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: the first TV nine pm Eastern. But you open up 249 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: the door to the studio and here I am, and 250 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: instead of a chair, I'm sitting on a big pile 251 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: of money. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. They're 252 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: in the stacks. I'm just sitting That's what I sit 253 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: on the show. Look, everyone knows I'm not actually doing that, 254 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: or Chris wouldn't still be here. We all we all 255 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: get that. Okay, this money would have been in one 256 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: of Chris's banks or something somewhere, but just for imagination 257 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: sake for imagination. Say, let's say I'm sitting on a 258 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: pile of money and you walk in and he say, Jesse, starving, family, starving, 259 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: out of work. The COVID stuff kicked this out. I 260 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: got twelve kids, they're hungry. We're not going to be 261 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: able to afford another meal. Jesse, Jesse, can you help me? 262 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: And here I am sitting on this pile of money, 263 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: and I want you to imagine me looking at you 264 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: and saying, can I help you? You need money? Oh? Man, 265 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: that's Oh that sucks about your job and your kids 266 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: are hungry. Oh gosh, that's too bad. I'll tell you what. Look, 267 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm not making you any promises, all right, no promises 268 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: at all. I'm gonna run to the bank here in 269 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: a little while, and I'm gonna see if I have 270 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: any money in my account, seeing if I can move 271 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: some money around, and maybe, I mean, look, maybe no 272 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: promises again, maybe I'm gonna be able to help you out. Okay, 273 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: that's the President of the United States of America leaving America, 274 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: leaving the largest oil reserves in the world, largest in 275 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: the world significantly now that we have shale technology available. 276 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: That's the United States President leaving the largest oil reserves 277 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: in the world to go sit in front of a 278 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Saudi king and pretend like he wants more oil because 279 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: he wants to lower the price at the pump. For you, 280 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: I want you to hear me. If you've never listened 281 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: to another word I say, I know this is hard 282 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: to hear. I just really really need you to trust 283 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: me on this. They don't want to lower your gas prices. 284 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: They want to look like they're trying to lower your 285 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: gas prices. It's very important that you think they're trying 286 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: to help. They have every tool in the world available 287 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: right there at their fingertips to lower gas prices. They 288 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: don't want to lower gas prices. They want your gas 289 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: prices actually to go up. They're trying to destroy an industry. 290 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: They're attempting to destroy an industry, the oil and gas industry. 291 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: The world runs on. They're trying to destroy it. Maybe 292 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: you're sitting there saying, Jesse, that would destroy the world. Yes, 293 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: these people were communists. They believe in destroying the world. 294 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: There have been several of them caught on camera flat 295 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: out saying I like this. In the end, this is 296 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: making you transition. We need to accept that there will 297 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: be some pain in the process. The pace that we 298 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: need will open up for missteps, it will open up 299 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: for short additional energy, It will create inflationary pressures, and 300 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: maybe we need to start talking about that, that that 301 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: pain is actually worth it. They're not trying to lower 302 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: your prices. They're the child sitting there at dinners, staring 303 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: at a plateful of peas, and you've told them they 304 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: need to eat some of the peas before they can 305 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: get up to leave, and so they're taking the peas 306 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: and they're spreading their peas, which are disgusting by the way. 307 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: They're spreading the peas all over the plate in the 308 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: hopes that you will think they're eating. It looks like 309 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: they're eating. They might be eating. That's why Joe Biden 310 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: is going overseas to bag the Saudis for oil. He 311 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: wants it to look like he's trying to ease the 312 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 1: pain at the pump. They have no intention of easing 313 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: the pain at the pump. They have for the longest 314 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: time campaigned on giving you pain at the pump. This 315 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: is what they want. This is not an accident. It's 316 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: not a whoop. See, it's not a oh. I can't 317 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: believe our green policies did this. This was intentional. These 318 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: people are mass murderers. They don't think of themselves, by 319 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: the way, as mass murderers. It's it's probably important for 320 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: you to note that. Well, I mean, maybe it's not important. 321 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter why you're killing me. But they 322 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: don't know they're mass murders. They don't think of themselves 323 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: in those terms. But that's exactly what they all are. 324 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: So we're gonna ask Brian Dean Wright about that about 325 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Sri Lanka, about food shortages. Why did this? What did 326 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: this country from Asia, this prosperous country, Why are they 327 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: now starving to death there? Why? Why? Why? We'll talk 328 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: to him about it next mords. Oh, it is the 329 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show and now welcome again Cinnamon from the 330 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: local Gentlemen's club here. Oh no, actually it's not. I 331 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: just assume that's what it was because of the musical choice. 332 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: This is actually my friend Brian Dean right. He is 333 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: the host of the President's Daily Brief podcast less than 334 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: twenty minutes every day, less than twenty minutes, you get 335 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: caught up on the news of the day on the 336 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: way to work and sound way smarter. I do it 337 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: every single day, Brian, welcome or cinnamon. I'm sorry, sir. 338 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Look a few times in life when you just want 339 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: your name played next to that music, and my life 340 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: is complete. I've been laughing for five minutes. I'm done. 341 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: I can go home now to heaven. All right, all right, 342 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: remember we're gonna get back to the phones. That we're 343 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: done with, Brian eight seven seven three seven seven four 344 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: three seven three. I have a lot I want to 345 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: unpack with you. For Sri Lanka. I've given my very 346 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: very very layman's understanding of what's happening there. Here's what 347 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: I know, Brian. At one point people think about you know, 348 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: that area, and they think every bear's a poor dump. 349 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: At one point that country, very recently was quite prosperous 350 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: and doing very well. Now they're pooping in the Prime 351 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: Minister's pool and burning down his mansion. Why, yep, you 352 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: got it. That's where Sri Lanka was very rich, very prosperous. 353 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: Not anymore. So. What we know is three things basically 354 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: have happened over the past about ten years. The first 355 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: disastrous decision was dead. They took on a whole bunch 356 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: of debt billions and billions of dollars. About ten to 357 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty percent of that was owned by the Chinese. So 358 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: they've gotten to bed with a lot of people and 359 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: they own a lot of money. All right, Well, that's fine, 360 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: so long as you can pay your bills. Well that's 361 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: where we have issue number two COVID. So the pandemic strikes, 362 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: they end up locking down their doors to anybody coming 363 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: in from outside of the country. That's an issue because 364 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: tourism was a major source of foreign income. So ninety 365 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: one percent of all the tourists gone and all that 366 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: revenue gone. Fine, but you might have a little bit 367 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: more luck creating some revenue by exporting your agricultural products. Well, 368 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: fair enough, but we have an issue. The Sri Lankan 369 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: government banned fertilizers and pesticides because they wanted to embrace 370 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: this environmental movement of organic farming. And so the governments 371 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: in Sri Lanka said no more fertilizers, no more pesticides, 372 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: and they just announced it overnight, and so a bunch 373 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: of farmers woke up the next they thirty percent of 374 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: their labor force. Suddenly they weren't able to grow, certainly 375 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: not as much as they did before. So as you 376 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: would expect, yields collapsed twenty to seventy percent of all 377 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: the products that they normally send abroad to make that 378 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: foreign exchange to buy things like oil and gas and whatnot, 379 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: it's gone. So they have no ability to buy the 380 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: basics that they need. Plus their internal consumption of food, 381 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: which they'd always been able to grow in the past, 382 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: they're not able to because they don't have that the 383 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: fertilizers and the pesticides. So you put all those things together, 384 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: Plus there was an issue around tax collection. They lowered, 385 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: maybe the taxes too much. Some people debate that, but 386 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: the bottom line is those three things, debt, COVID lockdowns, 387 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: and this really silly agricultural policy boom. We get to 388 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: this place of rapid crazy inflation, no oil, no gas, 389 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: and now people are open in pools at presidents presidential palaces. 390 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what you get when you do 391 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: silly things like locking down your country and locking out 392 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: all of your phone exchange. Brian, I have a really 393 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: stupid question, but I know you're not surprised by that. 394 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: You're used to that by now, But debt a country 395 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: taking on a lot of debt. All you said they 396 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: took on a bunch of debt and China own some 397 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: of that. I know this is a dumb question. I 398 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: know it, but I need you to lay it out 399 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: for me. Why does that matter? Why did that hurt them? 400 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: Why does piling on debt for a place like Sri 401 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: Lanka or America? Why is that important? Yeah, hypothetically America, 402 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Well to that point, we owe the Chinese over a 403 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: trillion dollars, which is kind of a bad deal that 404 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: we owe the Communist Party over a trillion dollars of 405 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: our debt. But nevertheless, the issue is if you take on, 406 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: much like in your personal life, a whole bunch of debt, 407 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: you have to service that debt, and depending on the 408 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: interest rates, that could be really challenging or it can 409 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: be really difficult or not a heart at all. But really, 410 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, are you working, are 411 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: you able to pay off that debt? You have that 412 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: income to pay it off. Well, the moment that you 413 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: end up bumping up against some economic troubles or turmoil 414 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: and you lose your job, or maybe you have a 415 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: problem with your paychecky major week or months mean a 416 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: little bit less than what it used to be, which 417 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: is exactly what happened in Sri Lanka. You're not able 418 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: to pay your bills. So that's the issue of indebtedness. 419 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: When countries face this, now you got to start selling 420 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: off your assets, which they may have to do, or 421 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: they're going to seek a bailout from people like the 422 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: United States, the IMF, World Bank. They're going out with 423 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: ten cup in hand saying please, everybody on the international community, 424 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: help us out of this crisis, because otherwise or twenty 425 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: two million people could end up starving to that and 426 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: they're facing that really very very scary prospect right now. Okay, Brian, 427 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: what does it mean? I know this is dumb again. 428 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: We're speaking with Brian dean Wright. He hosts the President's 429 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: Daily Brief podcast less than twenty minutes Get Smart on 430 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: the way to work less than twenty minutes every day. Brian, 431 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: what does a country gos through from the country they 432 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: owe money to when they owe money to them? I 433 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: know again again, I know this sounds dumb, but I 434 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: think it's fascinating and something people don't know. I'm Sri Lanka, 435 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: I owe China a billion dollars. I know it's more 436 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: than I owe China a billion dollars. Yeah, China demands payment. 437 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 1: I all of a sudden say, hey, I'm an idiot. 438 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: I shut my country down for COVID. I'm not paying 439 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: you this month. Well, China doesn't show up with the 440 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: ball bat and threatened to cut their fingers off. So 441 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: what do they do. Well, they go to a couple 442 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: different things. One, they can actually lock you out from 443 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the international system to borrow anything from anybody else, right 444 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: or Second, depending on what the country has offered up 445 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: as collateral, it may be that the country has to 446 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: offer up say a port or access to an airport, 447 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: or maybe some minds maybe the agricultural land. Right. So 448 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: now they have to give that up to China, either 449 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: permanently or let's say I'm a ninety nine year lease 450 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: or something. So the point is Sri Lanka will have 451 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: assets to pull from and are going to probably have 452 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: to offer up some of that if people like the 453 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: International Monetary Fund or the World Bank or others don't 454 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: give them the many billions of dollars they need not 455 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: to just pay off China and other people out there dead, 456 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: but just start buying oil and gas. I mean everything 457 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: is shut down right now. There are cues for miles 458 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: miles long of lines to get oil and gas. They've 459 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: shut down schools. I mean, nothing is functioning. It's like 460 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: an engine that's run out of oil quite literally in 461 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: this case, and it's seized up. I mean, that is 462 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: the country of Sri Lanka right now. Brian, Can you 463 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: explain why it's so important for the world that this 464 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine conflict resolve itself quickly, no matter no matter 465 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: where you're at on the whole thing, sick of it. 466 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: You still got a Ukraine flag wrapped around you and 467 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: all that's fine, but we need it to end. Why Brian, Yeah, 468 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 1: A couple of reasons. First, the wheat wars. We know 469 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: that the Russians are using wheat as a form of 470 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: a weapon. They're holding onto it, they're taking it from you, crane, 471 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: and a lot of that used to get out to 472 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: the world into poor countries like Sri Lanka. It's not 473 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: getting there anymore. And the prices for what is available 474 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: is incredibly high. Come down a little bit in the 475 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: last month, but it's still very high. Historically, that means 476 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of very poor countries are gonna be able 477 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: to buy it, and they're gonna have starving people all 478 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: around the world, to include people that used to buy 479 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: our stuff. They were our trade partners. So that's why 480 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: we care. The second one, and this is the biggie. 481 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Europe right now as petering on a major economic collapse 482 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: this winter. If they don't get natural gas, which they 483 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: normally get from Russia, they can't get all of what 484 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: they need even from us, and we're doing our level 485 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: best to get it into Europe, but at the end 486 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: of the day, they are our largest export partner. They 487 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: buy most of what we send abroad in terms of 488 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: all the countries and regions in the world. So we've 489 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: got to end this conflict. There for no other reason 490 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: that we have to stabilize Europe, because they are in 491 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: a major mess if they don't get that natural gas, 492 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: and if they don't buy the way we're going to 493 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: continue to send hours and that's a problem because this winter, 494 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: your natural gas, the plants that make your electricity, they're 495 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to be buying this stuff on the open market. 496 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: Prices are going to be massively high. Your electricity bills 497 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: are going to go up all because Europe can't figure 498 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: out where to get its natural gas now that Russia's 499 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: turning off the spitit so big, big implications here in 500 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: the United States if this war continues to go on. Gosh, 501 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: I feel so much smarter now. I am so much 502 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: smarter now.

Sometimes, Chris, look, 549 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: when you're Leonardo and you're making what Chris, and you're 550 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: making a sculpture or a painting or whatever that idiot did, 551 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: you have to understand you have to let creative juices flow. Chris. 552 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: Why do I come back here and paint a masterpiece 553 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: every day behind the microphone? How do I do it? 554 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I can't answer that question for you. It's like Leonardo 555 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: trying to tell you why watercolors or whatever. That's the point. 556 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: What he didn't watercolors anyway? Seth and Saint Louis. Go, Sethe, 557 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Yes, sir, Michael Berry 558 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 1: going to be on the today. Michael Berry's not going 559 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: to be on the show today, Seth. Why I want 560 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: him to tell us? What's going to card you that? 561 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: Because Seth, poor Seth is just I and I almost 562 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: feel bad at this time. I'm so tempted. I am 563 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: so tempted at this point. Look, Seth, I'll tell you, 564 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna tell you ready, I mean, I'm 565 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: not gonna tell you yet, but I'm gonna tell you 566 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: at some point in time. Don't worry. I will say it. 567 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: All right. Now, how someone has written in and they 568 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: requested it, Well, this is the this is the email, 569 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: doctor Jesse. Pardon me if I'm mistaken, but I think 570 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: when Michael Barry was pushing you into the limelight, he 571 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: told a story of someone apparently appearing slamming too many 572 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: but heavies and decided to go swimming with the sea urchins. Okay, one, 573 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: that is a gross oversimplification of what happened. So here's 574 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: what happened, and then I'll get to your phones. Eight 575 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: seven seven three seven seven four three seven three in 576 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: the Marines. I don't know if it's still this way. 577 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: I need to emphasize that I got out in two 578 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: thousand and four. So when I tell you stories about 579 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: things that happened in the means, i'm telling you older stories. 580 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: Maybe things are different back then. This is how it 581 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: worked when you went to an infantry unit. Again, I 582 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: was in the infantry and an infantry unit. This is 583 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: how it worked. You did. There's the think of a 584 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: two year periods as four different six months stretches. Right, 585 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: you would do three fourths of that stretch in America 586 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: on your whatever base you were in, whether that's Camp 587 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: of June, Camp Pendleton, or if you're an unlucky person 588 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: like me, you got stuck in twenty nine Palms, which 589 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: is in the middle of the desert. But you did 590 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: three fourths of your two years of a two year 591 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: stretch there and then you would go for six months 592 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: you would deploy somewhere. But again, this was pre combat, 593 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: at least when I first joined. It was pre combat. 594 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: The deployment is not a combat deployment. The various units 595 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: would do various things. There were units out of Camp Pendleton, 596 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: I know a lot of them. They got on ships 597 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: for six months and they went and enjoy Australian beer 598 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: for a while and did various things out on out 599 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: on ship. That's not what we did. What we did 600 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 1: was we got sent for six months to Okinawa, Japan. Now, 601 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,959 Speaker 1: from Japan. From there we went and did different things. 602 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: We did warfare training and Mount Fuji, and we went 603 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: to Thailand and did jungle training. And so you do 604 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of things today, but you're deployed. You live 605 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: there for six months. Now, I'm not complaining about it. Obviously, 606 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: it's a Marine Corps base, so it's not the nicest 607 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: thing in the world. However, it is a tropical island. 608 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: There are beaches, and you give marines a big horseshoe 609 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: pit or a volleyball net or something, and a bunch 610 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: of a beach and a grill where they can grow 611 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: out some meats, maybe a one or two butt heavies. 612 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: Marines can have a good time. Sometimes. We would get 613 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: after it early. Marines love competition and all things, doesn't 614 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: matter what it is, and we would have huge horseshoe tournaments. 615 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: We got up early one Saturday, I don't remember exactly 616 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: what time. I think eight nine am, and I know 617 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: that's not early, but it's early to start a horseshoe 618 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: tournament that's supposed to go all day. And we started 619 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: playing horseshoes all day. And I'm certainly not going to 620 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: say it was me, because I would never do such 621 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: a thing. But they were bringing in bud heavies all 622 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:30,760 Speaker 1: day long, case after case after case after case, and yes, Chris, 623 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: I did, Okay, Yes it was me. I was trying 624 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: to beat around the bush. Okay, yes it was me. 625 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: How many I don't know, Chris, all right, I don't know. 626 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: It was a long day, and at some point in 627 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: time towards the end of the day, I decided I 628 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: wanted to swim. And I do have to explain I 629 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: don't well, I should explain that I don't have an 630 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: explanation for this. I have always found comfort on in 631 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,959 Speaker 1: the water, and I don't know why. I honestly don't 632 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: know why. We went Our neighbors had a pool. One 633 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: of my dad's friends when I was a kid, had 634 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: a pool in Ohio, and we would go over there 635 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: and we'd swim all day long, all day. You know 636 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: about the story of my dad teaching me to swim 637 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: by throwing me off a houseboat in Tennessee. We don't 638 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: have to go into my trauma that I still go 639 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: through from that. I'm just kidding. I'm fine. But fishing 640 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: with my old man, we would go to the beach, 641 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, and I think South Carolina or Virginia. Gosh, 642 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: why I can't I remember where Myrtle beaches now, Virginia. 643 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach we'd go down to. It's not a very 644 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: nice beach, but it was great for us. It was 645 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: all we needed. I was always in the ocean, always 646 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: in a lake, always in a pool, and from most 647 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: of my life, including now, I find comfort on the water. 648 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: That's not just in a boat. I like being out 649 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: on the ocean. I like being in a lake. I 650 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: like being in a river. I like being in the 651 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: water too. I like to swim. I don't know why today, Well, 652 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: on that day it turned out to be a little 653 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: bit of a mistake. Why. I will tell you why, 654 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: and then I'll take your phone calls in just a moment. 655 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three
