And the reason I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: sunflower seeds.

Gosh, 30 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good day. But first the whole 31 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: human head thing that was real? Allow me to walk 32 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: you all the way to that, and yes, I'm going 33 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: to get to Rush Limbaugh and just a little bit. 34 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: Obviously we all everybody, every single person, friends, enemies, doesn't 35 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: matter who you are, Owes that guy something, everybody who 36 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: does what I do for a living, for sure, what 37 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: a legend, What a legend? Rest in peace? Rush, Manila? 38 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: Have you ever I mean some of you undoubtedly have 39 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: traveled there, because look, my people are obviously well traveled people. 40 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: What Chris, many of you maybe have traveled there. I 41 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: personally have not. They didn't. They didn't have Manila in 42 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: the Philippines in Ohio. But if you haven't, I highly 43 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: suggest you do, if you're in a safe place to 44 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: do it. A little image search of Manila in the Philippines. 45 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: It's gorgeous. It's just one of those places. It looks 46 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: so cool, and the huge bay it's it's it's just 47 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: it looks awesome, right, Chris. See, Christians looked it up 48 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: and it just looks awesome. And it was known is 49 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: known as the Pearl of the Orient, which what a 50 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: cool name. Anyway, there was the Pearl the Orient. Let's 51 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: do a little backstory on Manila, very brief before we 52 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: get to our story today. It was originally a Spanish colony, 53 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: you know that whole colonial era. It's a Spanish colony. 54 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: And then we fought a war with the Spanish that 55 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: we started called the Spanish American War. What, Chris, what 56 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: remember the Main? Just a brief background because I don't 57 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: want to blow through this for those who may not know. 58 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: It was fought in Cuba between US and the Spanish, 59 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: and the war kicked off when a naval ship of 60 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: ours called the Main blew up and we blamed it 61 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: all in the Spanish, in our disgusting newspapers. This was 62 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: the real yellow journalism era, all ran with stories blaming 63 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: the Spanish, and to this day there's there's there's really 64 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: no indication it was a Spanish at all. It could 65 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: have been some guy burning cigarettes down by the ship's 66 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: magazine where they keep up the gunpounder. But Spain was 67 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: on the on the downhill swing big time, and we 68 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: were on the uphill swing big time, and we thought, ah, 69 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and flex a little bit. We fight 70 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the Spanish American War, and part of the Spanish American 71 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: War was giving us the Philippines. You know, when you 72 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: lose a war, you sit down and you got to 73 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: give some things up. Americans, we are not, nor should 74 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: you ever think of us as being totally anti imperialist. 75 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: In my opinion, we should have been more imperialist. But 76 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: but we were just like everybody else. When we're starting 77 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: to flex a little bit, we're starting to get strong, 78 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: we're looking around. We just want a war war. England 79 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: has all these colonies, and France has all these colonies. 80 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Why shouldn't we have some colonies? I want some colonies. 81 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: That's just part of what made you a power? We 82 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: decided we were going to colonize the Philippines after the 83 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: Spanish had done it. We colonize the Philippines. It is 84 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: rough in the beginning. I've done a story or two 85 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: on it before. I'll du a story or two later. 86 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: The Filipino people, much to their credit, a real fierce 87 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: independent streak, not the type to just lay down for 88 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: their new colonial masters. You see, they wanted the Spanish 89 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: gone badly. They're like, we're finally free. Oh wait, America 90 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: just took over. This didn't This didn't work out well 91 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: for us at all, and that all these tribes there 92 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: and there was just vicious fighting, and we did vicious 93 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: things and they did vicious things. But let's fast forward 94 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: through all that, because to our credit, America looked around 95 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: and realized, you know, there's probably a better way to 96 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: be a colonial power. They don't actually have to kill everyone. 97 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you could kill some people, and that's part 98 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: of being a colonial power, it seems to be. I 99 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: don't I don't know of a colonial power who did 100 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: it any differently. But what if what if we just 101 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: made sure they were our friends and just helped them out? 102 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: And we did and it was the coolest colonial experience. 103 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: I remember, I told you all colonial powers, all colonial 104 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: experiences are not the same. Yes, there are brutal, genocidal, 105 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: oppressive ones, and then there are several across the world. 106 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Don't listen to your idiot college professor. There are several 107 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: across the world that have been huge benefits to the 108 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: people who lived there, gave them huge technological leaps forward, 109 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: medical leaps forward, infrastructure leaps forward. America figures out, you 110 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna do this right, and America starts 111 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: building up the nation. I'm talking about sewer systems, I'm 112 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: talking about modern buildings, modernizing all their infrastructure, educating their children. 113 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: We start making it a haven for American businesses, which 114 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: the Filipinos loved because American businesses bring American business men. 115 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: When American businessmen come over, they look around and they 116 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: want to make this lovely Filipino place a little bit 117 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: more like America. Soon they have air conditioning, air conditioned 118 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: movie theaters. But America is doing it smartly. They bring 119 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: in these city planners, and what we're doing in a 120 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: place like Manila is we're blending the Spanish influence, the 121 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: traditional Filipinos, stuff and Americans. So it was this gorgeous 122 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: blend of a city with all this cool architecture, and 123 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: it was a booming business hub, and I mean booming. 124 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: We'll get to why this matter in a moment, but 125 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: we had tons of American families over there. It was 126 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: just beautiful. We're talking early nineteen hundreds here, beautiful mecca. 127 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: And it was a hub for the US military. If 128 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: you're in the US military, it was one of the 129 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: choice posts. Look, if you're an officer and you're let's 130 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: say you're an officer and you're a married man, there 131 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: are a bunch of really crappy places you can be 132 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: stationed around the world. It's hard to tell the missus, honey, 133 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: we're doing a year in the Yemen. It's a little 134 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: easier when you're like, honey, how about a year on 135 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: the beach. How's that sound? Oh? Yes, they're shopping in everything. 136 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: How's that sound. And let's set aside the older, more 137 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: mature married men. If you're a young person in the 138 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: US military and you're offered a post in the Philippines 139 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: where the beer is basically free and the women are hot, 140 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: if you're into that sort of thing. It's not. You 141 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: don't exactly have to twist arms to get that done either. 142 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: It became a military hub, and there was a great 143 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: relationship there between MacArthur and our military in the Filipino people. 144 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, leading up to World War two, 145 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: this was not a contentious relationship at all. We loved 146 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: them and they loved us. It was awesome. And then 147 00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: Japan came and I realize you probably have been listening 148 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: for quite a while, but we continue to pick up 149 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: affiliate after affiliate after affiliate, which means we have new 150 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: listener after new list or after new listener. So we're 151 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: gonna have to do a brief background on the Japanese. 152 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of affiliates, let's give a shout 153 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: out today to the great W. D. Y Z in Orlando, 154 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: one of our favorites. Right there. The Japanese leading up 155 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: to World War two, Well, it was a great time 156 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: and in a bit of a rough time. We're gonna 157 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: explain that here in a little bit and rush Limbaugh's 158 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: greatest quotes in his legacy. Hang on, Jesse Kelly, I 159 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: hate beats. I can't possibly express to you how much 160 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: I despise the taste of beats. I can't even smell beats. 161 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: And when I was first told because somebody told me 162 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: about super beats heart shoes, about how good they are 163 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: for you and things like that, and I blew them off. 164 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: I thought, I'm not eating anything that tastes like beats. 165 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: And my buddy said, no, listen, listen, try them.

On Friday, we kick back and have a 198 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: good time on this show. Back to the lead up 199 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: to Manila, Japan, was I do not want to call 200 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: it backward. Frankly, if I wasn't such a fan of 201 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: the Japanese people in Japanese culture, i would call it 202 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: backward because I'm a jerk. But because I'm a fan, 203 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: I'll just simply say they were not advancing like the 204 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: rest of the world because there were such an insular society. 205 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: I want you to think about, you know, time of 206 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: the Samurai, that kind of stuff. They just weren't They 207 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: weren't trading with the outside world. They were cut off, 208 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: so they weren't advancing. They got a real bad wake 209 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: up call, Oh, we better advance or we're gonna get 210 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: taken over. They choose, just on sheer force of will, 211 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: called the Meiji Restoration, they choose to advance their nation. 212 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they send people all over the 213 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: world to find out how all the best people are 214 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: doing everything, industry, military, everything, and they bring it all 215 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: back to Japan and they just do it. And now 216 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: what we have is something really awesome in something really 217 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: terrible at the same time. What you have by the 218 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds of the early nineteen hundreds is a nation wealthy, powerful, strong, 219 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: strong military, I'm talking holding their own against the other 220 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: other major powers of the world, Russia and whatnot. Strong military. 221 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: These people are set, but with more of an older, 222 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: ancient world sensibility. What do I mean, my ancient world sensibility. Look, 223 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about the Mongols on this show, 224 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: and Alexander the Grade and all these different conquerors, and 225 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: what have you heard me say a thousand times when 226 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I talk about sieges and conquerors and things like that, 227 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: when a city falls, laying siege to a city, When 228 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: a city falls there, that city is sacked in really really, 229 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: really ugly ways. Because you and I can't see pictures 230 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: of the Mongols sacking some city somewhere because it was 231 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: pre photographed. We don't have it burned into our memories. 232 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: But the entire history of mankind is armies sacking a city, 233 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: taking over a territory, and doing absolutely horrible things to 234 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: the people who were there. Sometimes the lucky ones got 235 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: to die, that's just the way it was. The thing's 236 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: done to the women, the children. I'm not going to 237 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: go into it. Like I said, it's too ugly. That's 238 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: how warfare has always been conducted in the history of 239 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: the world. And here you have Japan early nineteen hundreds. 240 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: They have advanced so much as a society in every 241 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: possible way, except for that whole the world's sensibilities have 242 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: changed when it comes to war thing. That's still how 243 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: the Japanese conducted warfare when they took over. They would 244 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted to you, and did often and 245 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. There were I mean, I don't know how 246 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: many of these old timers are left now, but remember 247 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: this our World War Two veterans. I have had the 248 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: pleasure of hanging with these guys a lot at various things. 249 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: So many of my guys who fought in Italy or 250 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: Germany or whatnot, they have either had like reunions with 251 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: German troops or the Italian troops or stuff they'll talk about. 252 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: They'll go back and visit I have. I don't think 253 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: i've shoot I don't think I've talked to one veteran 254 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: of the Pacific theater who would even visit Japan a 255 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: deep hatred there of the things they saw, of things 256 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: that were done. Now let's go back to Manila. Beginning 257 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: of the war. We get run out of the Philippines. 258 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: Not going to go into all that today, but Japan 259 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: takes over the pearl of the Orient and they think 260 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: because they're just the people get so out of touch sometimes, 261 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: not that we'd ever see that today, but they think 262 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: they're going to be welcomed by the Filipino people. Hey, man, 263 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm Asian and you're Asian. We ran out those dirty Americans, 264 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: aren't shouldn't we be friends? But the Filipino people didn't 265 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: want that at all. They said, I don't. I don't 266 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: care that you're Asian. The Americans and I were getting along. 267 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: Grade you're brutalizing us. We hate you, hate you, and 268 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: so again, to their credit, the Filipino people decided they 269 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: were not just going to lay down and take this 270 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Japanese occupation, which turned out to be three years. Three 271 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: years the Japanese takeover Manila. You can imagine what that's like, 272 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: the atrocities they committed, the things they did to the 273 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: Filipino people. But the Filipino people began almost immediately a 274 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: guerrilla insurgency. They would routinely ambush the Japanese. The Japanese 275 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: were always trying to hunt down these underground insurgent units. 276 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: The Filipino people would hunt down the Filipino businessmen who 277 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: collaborated with the Japanese in order to make life easier, 278 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: not that we would see anything like that in the 279 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: United States of America today. We would never see American 280 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: corporations siding with the enemy because it's easier, right, that 281 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't happen. But the Filipino people fight back and member 282 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show when I said they 283 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: were a bunch of American citizens there, a bunch of businessmen, 284 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: businessmen's families, army personnel. The Japanese swept into Manila so 285 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: fast that many of our people didn't have a chance 286 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: to get out, and the Japanese obviously brutalized the Filipino people. 287 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: They would brutalize anybody who was a prisoner of war. 288 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: But they weren't as terrible to many of the civilians, 289 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: American civilians in Manila, because they weren't fighters. They didn't 290 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: they when they surrendered. They were just civilians who were there, 291 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: and the Japanese weren't sure what to do with them. 292 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: They didn't treat them well, but they weren't torturing them 293 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: to death either. So what they did was they put 294 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: them in a place called Santo Demas. And I actually 295 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: should do a whole show on Santo Demas. One time. 296 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: It was a campus where they stuffed all the American businessmen, 297 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: the American businessmen's families, Army nurses, Navy nurses, and just 298 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: put them in this area. And what they did was 299 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: they didn't, you know, kill them and torture them, but 300 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: they bound them in there like it was a prison 301 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: and essentially said you're on your own, goodbye, have fun, 302 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to leave. And it's really one of 303 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: the cooler tales. I'm gonna do a totally separate show 304 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: on it. Another time. The American civilians there or just 305 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: started their own government. They started their own government. They 306 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: had schooling for children, they had medicine, they had golf 307 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: lessons because they were golf bros there. The Americans just decided, well, 308 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna make this place America. Then it's 309 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: really cool. Santo Demas. I did recommend you look it up. 310 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna try to wrap this up because 311 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: we have so much to get to today, including the 312 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: Democrats losing the suburbs.

You can find 333 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: me on social media at Jesse Kelly DC on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. 334 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: Remember I'm also on locals and that's the place I 335 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: can't be kicked off. I will be kicked off the 336 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: others probably soon, so you can always find me there. 337 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: I would try to conduct with as many of you 338 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: as humanly possible. Now, Manila, it's bad. The Japanese occupation, 339 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: it's bad, and not just because of the things they 340 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: do the Filipino people. The Japanese are I just think 341 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: about what it takes to run any major city, what 342 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: it takes to be to run the infrastructure of any 343 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: major city in peacetime. Right in peacetime, how often are 344 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: there little mini disasters all over the place. In a 345 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: major city, there's a trash disaster. I mean, I'm staring 346 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: out right now, I'm staring out the window at Houston. 347 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: Half the city's dark because there's a power disaster. There's 348 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: always something going wrong. When you stack that many people 349 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: in one area, life happens. Things are going to things 350 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: are going to go bad. Right, that's in peacetime. Now 351 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: you are an occupying military force the city itself. While 352 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: you're thrilled you have it, it's not a huge priority 353 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: to your war effort, So you're not exactly pouring money 354 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: and resources into it. Nor do you have a lot 355 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: of money and resources as the war goes on. Remember 356 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: Japan didn't have the resources. That's part of the reason 357 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: they started the war to begin with. And this by 358 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: nineteen forty five. You remember we're talking in the end 359 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: of the war here, you really don't have anything. The 360 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: city is absolutely disfunctional, in a complete state of disrepair. 361 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: China comes in and takes over a major city where 362 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: you live, but they're fighting a bunch of wars in 363 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: other places. In three years, what do you think the 364 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: transportation situation would be like in the city. What do 365 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: you think the food supply situation would be like in 366 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: the city. Remember you're a pow. China is running everything. 367 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: How do you think things are working out for you? 368 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: It's a disaster. It's a human rights disaster. People are starving, 369 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: civilians are starving. Our own people and Santo Demas are 370 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: going hungry. People are selling rats. There are stories of 371 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: people selling children. It's really really bad. In America. Starts 372 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: moving through the Philippines. Remember Douglas MacArthur, when he got 373 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: run out of the Philippines, famously said I shall return, 374 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: and this is his triumphant return. He has to take Manila, 375 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: he thinks, turns out very stupidly. He thinks Initially, the 376 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: Japanese are essentially going to back out of Manila. They 377 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: had about seventeen thousand men in Manila. He thinks they're 378 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 1: going to back out and fight somewhere else and let 379 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: him have it. The Japanese have other plans. The Americans 380 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: find a battle plan the Japanese had somehow lost or 381 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: left laying around, and there was something on that battle 382 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: plan for the defense of Manila that creeped them out. 383 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: And it would be creepy. You see, by now, the 384 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: Americans knew how the Japanese fought, they knew how ferocious 385 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: they were. They find the Manila battle plan, and they 386 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: see all these things about defending here and defending there, 387 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: and that's going to be a problem. But you know 388 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: what they don't see. They don't see any route of 389 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: escape for the Japanese. And they immediately by this point 390 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: in the war, know what that means. Every single man 391 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: in Manila plans to die here. And this is a 392 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: major city, a major city. So the Americans have to 393 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: make a choice, and choices are so difficult. So often 394 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: in life we like to teach our kids, you know, 395 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: there's right and wrong, and there's and I mean, obviously 396 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: there is right and wrong. I'm not saying there's not, 397 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: but so much of life is gray and poor choices. 398 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: This is this beautiful city. MacArthur has all these American 399 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: troops ready to go in. You know, the Japanese are 400 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: dug in in there in some way. You don't know 401 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: how dug in, but you know you have to go 402 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: take it. You know there are a bunch of innocent 403 00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: Filipino civilians in there. How do you handle explosives if 404 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: you're in America, Well, there's an apartment complex right there. 405 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: There's definitely some Filipino citizens in there. It's right next 406 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: to a building where Japanese troops are dug in. We 407 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: could drop some bombs from the air on the Japanese troops. 408 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: You got to kill some of those civilians, almost undoubtedly. 409 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: But you say to yourself, Okay, no, we can't do that. 410 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: We shouldn't do that. Those people are innocent, and you're right. 411 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're wrong, but understand what you've just done. 412 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: You've just guaranteed American troops will die who didn't have 413 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: to die. MacArthur initially says no, no bombs, no artillery, 414 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: and his men start riding him about it, buddy, you 415 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: understand what that means. No bombs, no artillery. Are you 416 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: out of your mind? And they start giving him the 417 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: business about it. MacArthur finally relents, and look, the truth is, 418 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: we rap that city in order to get the Japanese 419 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: out there. There's a huge fight almost in the beginning 420 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: that takes place. How wild would this be? In the 421 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: baseball stadium. The Japanese were dug in under the bleachers 422 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: and the Americans are out on the baseball field trying 423 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: to get to the Japanese under the bleachers. The Americans 424 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: had built these buildings, huge concrete, rebarred buildings, like government 425 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: buildings like a post office and legislature and things like that, 426 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: and you go see pictures of them to this day. 427 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: And the Japanese would plan on this horrible siege, dying 428 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: to the last man. They go to the bottom of 429 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: these buildings and drill wells into the floor so they 430 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: could have water, so they could hold out as long 431 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: as possible. This was the fiercest urban fighting in all 432 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,239 Speaker 1: of the Pacific theater, the Battle of Manila, and the 433 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: Japanese they set up all the I mean, these are 434 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: people who had mastered mastered horror. They had mastered creating 435 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: terror for their enemies by the things they had done 436 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: and the way they conducted themselves. And so they had 437 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: booby traps, minds absolutely everywhere. They would set up all 438 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: these obstacles, turned over trucks and concrete blocks in the 439 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: streets so you couldn't go down the streets. The Americans 440 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: would have to fight from building to building and blow 441 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: holes in the walls of the building to try to 442 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: get through to the other ones. And we're losing so 443 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: many guys in these buildings. Because we talked about building 444 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: fighting yesterday. We're having to flamethrow Japanese soldiers. Do you 445 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: ever shoot a flamethrower down a hallway? Ever burned somebody 446 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: to death? And the Japanese are conducting themselves. There's no 447 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: defense of it. There's no defense. But you know, I'm 448 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: a fan, but they conduct themselves like monsters, almost as 449 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: petty revenge. They start taking out the inevitable loss of 450 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: the city on the civilians. They had a hospital there 451 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: that served as a I mean, I don't you know, 452 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't like to use the word on the show. 453 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: It served as the basically official headquarters where Filipino women 454 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: were brought and abused. Remember that room full of heads 455 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: I talked about in the beginning. I didn't make that 456 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: story up. The Japanese would go to the more well 457 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: to do neighborhoods, upper middle class neighborhoods, the Filipino ones. 458 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: They would just store them in all the houses. Obviously, 459 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: take the women, take any fighting age mail, because they 460 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: didn't They didn't want these American loyal fighting age males 461 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: turning against them. As the Americans came, blindfolded them all, 462 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: took them all to a house, took them up to 463 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: the second floor where there was a hole in the floor, 464 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: and they hung them over this hole in the floor 465 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: and decapitated all of them. And the Americans are discussing 466 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: these are Americans who had seen horrible things before. When 467 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: they're taking the city, they're walking into homes like this, 468 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: and imagine that feeling walking into a home and seeing 469 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: a room full of heads. They hould up the roomful 470 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: of heads dead to move to another building full of heads. 471 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: It will not come as a shock to you. One 472 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: of the Japanese commanders in charge of all this was 473 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: one of I believe he may have been the first 474 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: guy put on war crimes trial. He was hanged immediately 475 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: after or hung. I went to community college. I don't 476 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: understand how to use basic words. Hang on, We're gonna 477 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: wrap this up and then pay homage to Rush real quick. 478 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: Hang up, this is a Jesse Kelly show. Like a 479 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: stain on your brain you can't get out. You're never 480 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: completely ready to adopt a team. For late nights, writing 481 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: English papers are your team's music taste for dinners where 482 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: they talk more on their phone than with you. For 483 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: the first time they call your mom.

There's not a clean way 506 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: to win a war. You understand that Americans as they 507 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: were cleaning out Manila from the from the Japanese scourge 508 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: that had been abusing them so horribly. You understand that 509 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: Americans did and saw terrible things to do that, right. 510 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: You understand, Americans came across dead civilians, women, children who 511 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: weren't killed by the Japanese. They were killed by American bombs. 512 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: We don't like to think about that. I don't either. 513 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: It's not like I like to dwell on something like that. 514 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: But hard choices, hard, horrible things. That's not the exception. 515 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: That's life. Half the time you come back from some 516 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: horrible place and people talk about, you know, PTSD or 517 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,959 Speaker 1: struggling with things half the time because you don't feel 518 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: great about stuff you had to do. That's life. Remember that. Now, 519 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh, let's talk about this for a moment, because 520 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of things over the last twenty 521 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: four hours and I need to correct some things. Rush 522 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: Limbaugh was not the greatest radio guy ever. He was 523 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: the greatest there will ever be. There will never be 524 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: another Rush Russia Limbaugh. I don't believe it's humingly possible. 525 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: There there is, There are things that are there are 526 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: once in a lifetime talents out there.

I don't care who has 529 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: a voice like this, that this is something God just 530 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: made you four like like God, God made Rush Limbaugh 531 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: sound like you can't who sounds like that? People talk 532 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: to me about my voice. I never thought I had 533 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: a good voice. People talk to me about it. I don't. 534 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: It's not in the same league. It's this freak goy. 535 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: Do you have it, Chris, you have something from Russian? 536 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: Is a right winged earned him a national terry. Wait, 537 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: we need segregating busses the NFL. I mean just it 538 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: was awesome man and the way he related to the 539 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: average dude, the working man. Rush Limbaugh educated not a generation, 540 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: two generations of Americans on what we should believe, on 541 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: how we should conduct ourselves. And do you know that 542 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: rush Limbaugh used to go in places because he was 543 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: just stupid rich by the end, as he should be. 544 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: He was worth every penny. You know. He used to 545 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: go in places and eat a meal and tip a 546 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: waitress ten thousand dollars. Do you no, rush Limba used 547 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: to do that. Oh of course he didn't advertise that. 548 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: But that's the kind of person that guy was. There 549 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: is no conservative media without rush Limbaugh, period, there's not. 550 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're in this business and you 551 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,439 Speaker 1: hate him, whether you're on the right or on the left. 552 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: This business is full of petty, jealous people. Like any 553 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: industry is he like any industry is. Like we've talked 554 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: about before, women, because they're judged on their appearance more 555 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: than men, are petty and gossipy and horrible to each 556 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: other over things like appearance. But there's a flip side 557 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: of that coin. Men, because men are judged on their 558 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: professional success, are petty and gossipy and jealous based on 559 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: other guys professional success. You run into somebody in this 560 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: business who doesn't like Rush Limbaugh, it's because that guy 561 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: wants to be Rush Limbaugh and can't. Period, end of story. 562 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: Why do people hate Tom Brady? Completely? Nice guy gives back. 563 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: You hate Tom Brady because he's won like nine thousand 564 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowls and he's married to a Brazilian lingerie model 565 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: and he looks really happy. That's why you ate Tom 566 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: Brady because you want to be Tom Brady. But I 567 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: want to address this part of the Rush Limbaugh thing 568 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: as I wrapped this up here, because we've got a 569 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: bunch of stories we want to get to. I understand, 570 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: when somebody dies like Rush, people run to to be online. Now. 571 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: They want to be on social media. I want to 572 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: see what they're saying on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram 573 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: or whatever or whatever whatever social media site you prefer. 574 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 1: And obviously the communists in America were terrible yesterday, saying 575 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: obvious the worst things you can possibly imagine. Rush this 576 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: this is a great day? Is burdon? And I mean 577 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: all these, all these horrible things, which, oh that's fine, 578 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: that's predictable too. But what I saw bothered me. Not 579 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: their comments, the right's reaction to their comments. Oh this 580 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: is terrible. Oh this is turn off social media today. 581 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: I can't handle this. This is the ugly side of humanity. 582 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: People were so terrible. Do you want to know the truth? 583 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: Do you really want to know? I'm gonna tell you. 584 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: Hang them. You know your house smells, don't get mad, 585 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: don't get mad in my house smells too. I'm not 586 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: indicting you. I was sure you keep a clean home, 587 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: but just time means you're going to acquire smells. Whether 588 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: those are cooking smells that get in your paint, your carpet, 589 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: maybe their animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone 590 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: else was just living creates smells. I didn't realize that 591 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: my home had a smell to it until I got 592 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: my first Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've 593 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: ever owned in my life.
