1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Wednesday. It's

3
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: hump Day, baby, and it is a great day, and

4
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be such a good night. Tonight We're gonna

5
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: talk about how local corruption works. Ooh, there's a juicy

6
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: story out of New York today. We'll talk about that,

7
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the death of everything. We'll talk about Democrat commitment to votes.

8
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: They wheeled al Green into the place, the proxy strikes

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: in Iran. They didn't work. Hmm. I wonder why squatter's

10
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: taking over a place? Someone asking, is this America? Should

11
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: you interview Vladimir Putin? Like Tucker Carlson is tons of emails,

12
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: so much more coming up tonight on the world famous

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. But I want to begin here. What

14
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I do is not important. It's really not. And I

15
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: know people like the show. I know you enjoy it.

16
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I hope it makes your day better. I hope you

17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: laugh with me. Maybe we both learned something together. But

18
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm a radio host, I'm a TV host. It's really

19
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: not an important job. It's not. There are a couple

20
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: things about it, though, I like a lot. Now there's

21
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot about it. I like. But there's a couple

22
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: of things I really really really like one, you know.

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: I like we're changing people's lives. Genuinely love that. I'm

24
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: still thinking about that phone call we had last night

25
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: from Nick, a listener. Wife was about to have an

26
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: abortion a year ago. Talk to them into getting her

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: an ultrasound. They chose life. They found cancer in her,

28
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: saved her and the baby. Like that, just that made

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: my whole life. Man, that's I'm happy. So I like that.

30
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: I like whatever way I can help you maybe make

31
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: your life a little bit better. I feel good. It

32
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: makes me feel good. It makes me It gets me

33
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to work every day. That's one of the things I like.

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: The other thing is totally different than that. I like

35
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: making politicians uncomfortable. I like, to be honest with you,

36
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: I like making them afraid. Not physically afraid, of course,

37
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: but I like that United States senators, congressmen, people running

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: for president. I like that they discuss this show with

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: their friends, colleagues, and not in a good way. I

40
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: like that we make these people afraid because the bad

41
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: people have been unafraid for too long. In this time,

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: something pretty cool happened. You remember I think it was

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: yesterday when I came on and I said this, Senator

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Langford has to have his career destroyed. I will do

45
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: everything in my power to ensure that his political career

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: is over. It's important that Senator Langford have his entire

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: professional life destroyed. You know why it's important. It's that

48
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: was me, I went on. But you remember when I

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: said it, James Langford, United States Senator. He may be

50
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Senator Naked Kendall. He may be a useless treason, his

51
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: piece of trash, and he may be somebody who I'm

52
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: not going to forget and I'm going to get involved

53
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: in that primary coming in twenty twenty eight Langford. But

54
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I will say this to compliment Senator Langford. He has

55
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: wonderful taste in radio.

56
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: May have policy differences, some of them have been very

57
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: clear with me. They have political differences with the bill.

58
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: They say it's the wrong time to solve the problem,

59
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: or let the presidential election solve this problem. In fact,

60
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: I had a popular commentator four weeks ago that I

61
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: talked to you that told me flat out before they

62
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: knew any of the contents of the bill, any of

63
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: the content, nothing was out at that point that told

64
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: me flat out, if you try to move a bill

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I

66
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: will do whatever I can to destroy you, because I

67
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: do not want you to solve this.

68
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: He's of course talking about yours truly, And in case

69
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: you're wondering, yes, he's lying. We didn't meet. It wasn't

70
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: four weeks ago. His little staffers or he himself heard

71
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: the show, freaked out, told Senator Naked Kendall about it,

72
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: and now he's trying to play the victim, acting like

73
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I was too mean to him. Oh, he told me

74
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: he would destroy me. Guys, listen, Senator. Now that I know,

75
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: I will if I can, I don't know that I'll

76
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: have the power to do so. I'm gonna remember you

77
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight. Don't think that this controversy is

78
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: gonna blow over and I'll forget a lot of people

79
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: will forget. I am a Kelly. I don't forget these things.

80
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: I will be there in Oklahoma if there is one

81
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: legitimate anti communist challenger to James Langford, I will campaign

82
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: for that challenger across the state of Oklahoma to I

83
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: will do fundraisers, I'll give speeches. I will do whatever

84
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: I can do to destroy your career. Why. Here's why,

85
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Senator Kendall, immigration is the ultimate test of your patriotism.

86
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: Your stance on immigration will tell you how much you

87
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: love your country. If you are an immigration squish, you

88
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: actually don't love the country because you strictly, strictly guard

89
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the things you love, like your house, your kids' school.

90
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: If you strictly guard your house, your kids school, but oh,

91
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: we should just let a couple million here, then that

92
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: tells me what you think about my country. This was

93
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: James Langford back in twenty eighteen.

94
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: By the tame even conservative Republicans who think that there

95
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: should be a solution for the DOCA kids. Are you

96
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: working on anything here in the Senate to try to

97
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: address this problem before the end of the year.

98
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: I am.

99
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: There's a group of us that are meaining quietly to

100
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: try to see what we can find common ground.

101
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: Do you think that whatever you're working on will have

102
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: to include a path to citizenship for Dreamers?

103
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I do.

104
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: I've been pretty outspoken on that for even last September,

105
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 5: Senator Tillis and I both put out a proposal to

106
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: get citizenship for those individuals that are in the doctor

107
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: program or were eligible for the doctor program.

108
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: I am going to destroy you, Senator, and I'm not

109
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: sorry I said it, and I think it's freaking hilarious

110
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: that you're now on the State at floor whining about it.

111
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: But we anti communists, we remember, and we're gonna remember

112
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: on the show. I just want you to know. Now,

113
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: let's move on past that to something wonderful before we

114
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: get to all this putin stuff, local corruption, the death

115
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: of everything. Before we get to all this stuff, let's

116
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: let's do this. Mitch McConnell was in very serious trouble politically.

117
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Now let me let me explain how this has gone

118
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of background on Mitch McConnell because we've

119
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: been we've been dealing with Mitch McConnell for quite some time.

120
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell has swung a big stick in DC for

121
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: a long time. He has been extremely powerful in DC

122
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: for a long time. We are talking one of the

123
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: ultimate Washington d C. Powerbrokers. His wife as well. His

124
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: wife is mega rich, all kinds of Chinese shipping company.

125
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: They only do business because of China because look there

126
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: was always that. But setting her wealth aside, Mitch McConnell

127
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: has been somebody the GOP. GOP senators have feared for

128
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: quite some time. Why would you fear Mitch McConnell. Mitch

129
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: McConnell has been so controlling of the GOP in what ways.

130
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Here's a great example. You remember Blake Masters, he ran

131
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: for Senate. You probably forget him. I like Blake, but

132
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: he was running for Senate in Arizona. And whether or

133
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: not you like Blake or whatever you think of the race,

134
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell announced, in a year where we probably could

135
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: have won that seat, announced he was pulling all the

136
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: money out of Arizona. Blake Masters got no help whatsoever

137
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: on a critical Senate seat that we then went on

138
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: to lose. We now don't have any Senate seats in Arizona.

139
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing Mitch McConnell will do. It's

140
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: not just that he carried a big stick. He would

141
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: swing it, he would use it. And so it has

142
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: made other United States Senators afraid of him because they

143
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: were afraid for their re election, afraid for their power. Remember,

144
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: they all want to be on these powerful committees too.

145
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: They want to sit on things like the Judiciary Committee.

146
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: That's a big boy committee. Mitch mcconnald's gonna have a

147
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: ton of sayd whether you get there, you get crossways

148
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: with Mitch McConnell, boom him, you're off the committee. You

149
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: don't have a much power. Mitch McConnell has been majorly

150
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: powerful in DC for a long time. You had And

151
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to take credit for this. I want

152
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: to actually give credit to Sean Spicer. He's the one

153
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: who dropped this little tibbit on me. Sean and I

154
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: were talking. Get this. You want to know how long

155
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: Mitch mcconnald's been there, how much damage he's done to

156
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: this country. When Mitch McConnell took power, the national debt

157
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: was ten trillion dollars. Through all the continuing resolutions and

158
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: budgets and everything else, the national debt is now thirty

159
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars. Mitch McConnell has been the constant in

160
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: DC under all that. Think of how much damage that

161
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: man has done to this country with all his capitulation

162
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: to Democrats. Now that leads me to where we are now.

163
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: There was an eye opening press conference yesterday. We'll talk

164
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: about that and local corruption and emails and a lot more.

165
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: Let's first talk about your cell phone. Though I know

166
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: the big games coming up, and I understand you might watch,

167
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm really not judging you, honestly, I might end up

168
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: at a neighborhood party where they have it on. If

169
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: it's on them, it may be I get that putting

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: your money where your morals are can be difficult in

171
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: some ways impossible, but not when it comes to your

172
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: cell phone service. You don't sacrifice a thing when you

173
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: switch to pure time. In fact, you gain what do

174
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: you gain? More money? Average family says like a G

175
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: a year. Could you use an extra thousand right now?

176
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: You don't sacrifice coverage? Same five G network as one

177
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: of the big guys. When you have to deal with them,

178
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: you'll deal with an American who speaks English. They're CEO

179
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: is a veteran. There's no reason not to switch. And

180
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: I know that's a double negative, but I'm n educated.

181
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Switch to peer talk. Pick up your phone and dial

182
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two

183
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. Switch to peer talk The

184
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. I like it returns next it is

185
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. Chris, I thought we were gonna

186
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: talk about the Tucker calls in Vladimir Putin issue in

187
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: a while. I feel like now I'm obligated to talk

188
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: about it in this segment. You set it up, we'll

189
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: get to it in a minute. Courtesy of Jewish producer Chris.

190
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: I guess we're jumping the gun on that one before

191
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: we get to it. It's finish up on this Mitch

192
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: McConnell stuff. Again. This is a man who's been very

193
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: powerful in DC for a very very long time. Yesterday

194
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: some of the Senators like Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson and

195
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: others got up and gave a press conference, and dang

196
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: is the bloom off the rose for old Mitch McConnell.

197
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 6: I think it is well. Everyone here also supported a

198
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 6: leadership challenge to Mitch McConnell in November. I think a

199
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 6: Republican leader should actually lead this conference and should advance

200
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: the priorities of Republicans.

201
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Ow ou combine that with this one from Mitch McConnell.

202
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: Now this may sound a little magnanimous, Chris, I read

203
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: that word this morning, and I knew I was going

204
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: to use it on the radio today. Don't shake your head, Chris, anyway,

205
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: This may sound magnanimous for those who don't know what

206
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: that word means. It's Spanish. I'm not going to go

207
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: into it, but he wanted to thank James Langford today

208
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: as he announced the death of the ambnesty bo.

209
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: We had a very robust discussion about whether or not

210
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: this product could ever become law, and it's been made

211
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: pretty clear to us by the Speaker that it will

212
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: not become law. So I want to congratulate. So frankord

213
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: on a remarkable job negotiating to the other side, getting

214
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 4: the support of the Border Council.

215
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Oh that is so brutal. Did you hear what he

216
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: just did. We just spent three months working with the

217
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: communists that come up for it, come up with an

218
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: amnesty deal, and it's now so unpopular it won't become law.

219
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 7: Hey.

220
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to give a special shout

221
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: out to the guy who's responsible for all this, James Langford.

222
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell gets a press conference and takes that political

223
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: hot potato and just drops an in Senator naked Ken

224
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Doll's lap. Good thing he doesn't have anything to lose there,

225
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: so it should be safe. Now let's move on quickly.

226
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Courtesy of Chris All kinds of dust up stuff about

227
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. Now full disclosure. I need to say something,

228
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: full disclosure. Tucker Carlson is a friend of mine. He

229
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: is a personal friend of mine. So if I actually

230
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: had a problem, which I do not, if I had

231
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: a problem ever with Tucker, I would deal with it privately,

232
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: because that's how men deal with things. I wouldn't come

233
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: on the radio and throw bombs at my friend, and

234
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: then he'd throw bombs. That that's low class. There's such

235
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: thing as code. Gentlemen handle things privately anyway. So he

236
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: is a friend and I wouldn't rip him publicly. However,

237
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand the dust up in case you're just

238
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: now checking in on the news for a couple of days.

239
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: He's in Russia. Why is he in Russia? He's going

240
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: to interview Vladimir Putin. He also has a request in

241
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: to interview Volodimir Zelenski. This is somehow controversial in American

242
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: circles on the left and the right. Why would you

243
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: interview Putin? How could you interview Putin? That's crazy? You

244
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: should never interview Putin? Why why he's a journalist? Vladimir

245
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Putin is the big cheese in the third most powerful

246
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: country in the world, the third most powerful country in

247
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: the world. Vladimir Putin is in control of more nuclear

248
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: weapons than any other person on the planet. In fact,

249
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin has more destructive power at his fingertips than

250
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: any man in the history of mankind. Now I'm not

251
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: exactly a Vladimir Putin fan. The whole locking up your

252
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: domestic political opponents thing just always reeks of disgusting tyrant

253
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: to me. That said, shouldn't we hear what he has

254
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: to say? Was that's a good point. Chris CNN interviewed

255
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Bin Laden. How many interviews did Stalin sit down for?

256
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Back in the day, Hitler Richard Nixon went over and

257
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: had a long conference with Mao zay Dung. Mao sy

258
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: Edung has murdered, is responsible for the death of more

259
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: people than anyone else in the history of the planet.

260
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: And we didn't even just set a journalist. The American

261
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: president went and sat down and negotiated a deal with him.

262
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: What happened in this country. You should want to hear

263
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: what Putin has to say. And I'm not saying it

264
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: because you'll love him all of a sudden. I don't

265
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: think you will. Look, you probably don't speak European like

266
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I do, so you probably won't even understand him. I will,

267
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: of course get it all now that I've been to Europe,

268
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: but I want to know what he has to say,

269
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: and I'll say something else to the American media, who's

270
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: freaking out about this whole thing. Maybe you shouldn't have

271
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: lied to us about everything for years now, because now

272
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: let me explain to every journalist who hate listens to

273
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: the show. Now, if you say water is wet, I

274
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: assume you're lying. You can say the most true thing

275
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: in the history of mankind, and I would assume my

276
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: first instinct will be that you are not only lying,

277
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: you are lying for a purpose. Remember Russian collusion. Hunter

278
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. Remember when the COVID vaccine

279
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: would stop the spring, No, slow the spread, No, I

280
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: won't expire, No, get your fourth booster. Remember when Ivermectin

281
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: was horse paced. You've lied about everything endlessly, so now

282
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: we have to go directly to the source. I can't

283
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: trust your opinion of Vladimir Putin. I assume you're lying.

284
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's interviewing him. Can't wait to hear what

285
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: he has to say. Maybe it's crap, maybe it's great.

286
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Now, let's talk about why we're like

287
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: this now. A big reason why we're like this in

288
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: this country. No you can't talk to him, No you can't.

289
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: A big reason is we are unsure of ourselves here

290
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, in the West, we

291
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: are very, very lacking in confidence. You understand, fellas especially,

292
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: you understand that maybe a tea level thing, right. You

293
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: get that testosterone does a lot more than help you

294
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: make babies. Testosterone affects how your mind works, your focus,

295
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: your confidence, your logical thinking. It's impossible to speak boldly

296
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: about things, to move to act like you don't care

297
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: what other people think. If you have low t it's

298
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: just impossible to do it. You don won't have the

299
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: inner strength for it. Get some chalk in your veins.

300
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Get a male vitality stack. We're a female vitality stack again.

00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: some great ones too. This guy's this one's titled funding bill, Jesse,

310
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Isn't this the exact same thing

311
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: that happens every time the Commis throw a bill out

312
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: there that is so outrageous and over the top it

313
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: gets killed, But then both compromised parties pretend to negotiate

314
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: a middle ground bill, which ends up horrible for Americans.

315
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Why is this any different than any every other nation

316
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: killing bill. Well, yeah, he's talking. I'm sure about the

317
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: border bill. It was different. I mean, it's all horrible, right.

318
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: It was different because it put into law an open border.

319
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: That's what was so horrible about it. It essentially guaranteed

320
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: the right of illegals to pour into the country, and

321
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: then it did so with the promise that they might

322
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: start enforcing things after that number reached a certain level.

323
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: It was so treasonous and horrible. That's why now to

324
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: your point about how things always work. This is why

325
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: I call them the low tgop, because this is how

326
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: it works every single time. Rush rush Limbaugh. Obviously you

327
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: don't need me to tell you who rush Limbaugh was.

328
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh had a saying I remember it from when

329
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I mean, just radio on in

330
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the background, rush Limbaugh would say, and I may forgive

331
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: me if I'm screwing up the exact language, but he

332
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: essentially said, I am the balance. And here's what he

333
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: meant by that. Well, here's how I always took it.

334
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: And he's true. Government in my forty two years on

335
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: the planet has only ever grown. It's only ever grown

336
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: and got more corrupt and got more evil over time.

337
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: So we could for the next forty two years reduce

338
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: slowly but surely reduce the size of the federal government

339
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: for the next forty two years, and that would be

340
00:21:53,280 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: the moderate solution. That would be the reasonable solution you specifically,

341
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: But your liberal aunt Peggy is a filthy commie who

342
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: wants an all powerful federal government to smash the people

343
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: like grapes so she can then destroy the country. She hates.

344
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I I want the federal government to be dan it

345
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: diny limited small. I want you to be free, free

346
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: to make it, free to not make it. I want

347
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: the government out of my way. I don't want the

348
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: government to have the power to destroy my life. So

349
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: who has been winning for my forty two years on

350
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: the planet? Jesse or liberal aunt Pegy? Liberal ant Peggy

351
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: has only ever known wins now because she's a demonic communist,

352
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: She's still miserable. Remember that none of those wins have

353
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: made her happy. It's never enough. O. That says, not enough.

354
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: We have to destroy more, destroy it faster. I'm on

355
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: my way to my fifteenth abortion. That that's how they talk.

356
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: But I have technically, for being honest, I've never had

357
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: a political in my lifetime. I'm talking about a gigantic,

358
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: tangible win. Yes, obviously it was a great moment when

359
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: Trump beat Hillary. Right, We've had little little things that

360
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: have gone well, but for gigantic political wins. What's our wind? Ben? Now,

361
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: this is the problem. To shift the Overton window, to

362
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: shift the narrative completely back your way. It involves getting uncomfortable.

363
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: What's a good example. Here's a good example of this.

364
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody who's ever struggled with food, maybe

365
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: out of food addiction. Maybe you struggle with food and

366
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: as a result your weight or booze or drugs. You've

367
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: gone through these things. People go through these things, or

368
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: you know someone who has. You've gone through these things. Now,

369
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: let's say you have someone we'll keep it about food.

370
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: Let's say you have someone really overweight. Maybe this is you,

371
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: and you just you eat a lot and I look,

372
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: believe me, I'm tall, so you can't see it. But

373
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: gluttony is something I struggle with too. I eat a

374
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: lot and I eat bad food. So I sympathize. That's

375
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: probably why I picked the subject. I sympathize you wake up.

376
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh you know, man, I think I think three sausage

377
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: mcmuffins would be delicious about I get it. Okay, So,

378
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: if you're someone who struggles with food, it's been a

379
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: long process, isn't it. You have been eating too much

380
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: and eating poorly for a long time, haven't you. Well,

381
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: what's the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is that you

382
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: do a one to eighty on that and instead you

383
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: eat better, you eat less, you work out more, and

384
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: that hard of yours, that's maybe working too hard, gets healthier.

385
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: That's the ultimate goal. Right, Well, do you accomplish that

386
00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: goal by just eating less? Oh? Okay, I had three

387
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: sausage big muffins yesterday. Today I'm gonna have two. Well, no,

388
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: that's still bad. No, don't be wrong. You've improved, you've improved,

389
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: but it's still bad. It's not a breakfast of a

390
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 1: couple eggs and then a long walk, is it. You

391
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: haven't actually reversed anything. You may have slightly slowed down

392
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: the decline, but you're still declining. Why Because reversing bad

393
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: momentum is an uncomfortable thing. If that's your situation. The

394
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: truth is, you can't reverse it without sweat and pain.

395
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: You can't without getting out of breath, sweaty foot hurts.

396
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sore. I can't hardly get out of bed

397
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: from working out without pain and sweat. That momentum never

398
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: shifts back the other It can't. It's not possible in

399
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: this country because they own the media, they own the

400
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: education system, they own half the Republicans, like the Mitch

401
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: McConnell types. The momentum has never ever gone towards eating

402
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: healthy and working out more. Ever, we've never, never have

403
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: we had a significant talk about reducing the size of

404
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the government. How crazy is that? That's the stated stance

405
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: of most of the right, most people on the right,

406
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: probably you call yourself a conservative, right the conservative stance

407
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: is that government should be limited, limited as it's laid

408
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: out in the constitution. Name for me, the government department

409
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: that's been destroyed in your lifetime. You see what I mean?

410
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: And why is that? Because we don't want to get

411
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: not you, I'm not talking about you, but the GOP,

412
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: the low t GOP doesn't want to get sweaty, they

413
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: don't want to get sore, they don't want to have

414
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: to go through pain. The easiest thing to do is well,

415
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean no, not three sausage mcmuffins. Just two guys. Hey,

416
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: look how healthy we are. See how much healthier you are?

417
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Just two sausage mcmuffins. Today, You're welcome America. Reversing momentum

418
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable, and I'll be honest with you, that is

419
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: how we have always viewed It's part of how we

420
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: viewed our role on this show. When people will email

421
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: in or call in and they'll say things like, hey,

422
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: that's too extreme, that's too far, that's over the top,

423
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: I actually understand what you're saying, and I sympathize with

424
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: what you're saying. But what I'm saying is getting uncomfortable

425
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: having uncomfortable conversations. Taking things to end quote extreme level

426
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: is the only thing that can save us. I consider

427
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: myself the moderation. People think I'm an extremest, too hardcore,

428
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: over the top when I do things like I've called

429
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: for the arrest of FBI agents and politicians repeatedly. No,

430
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: not resigning, not firing. I want you arrested and put

431
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: on trial. Ah, that's over the top. That's the moderate

432
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: solution compared to where this ends one day. I'm the moderation.

433
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: That's the truth. That's what it takes to shift things back. Okay,

434
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: I am finally going to get to local corruption stories next.

435
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Before I get to that. Speaking of that long walk,

436
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: maybe you did some pushups. Maybe you're starting to lift weights. Sore,

437
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: aren't you? Life? Look, life comes with soreness, It comes

438
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: with pain. What do we do? We grab the ibuprof

439
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: and bottle, don't we? Or even worse, something harder than that.

440
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: You know how passionate I am about drug free things.

441
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: I am so jaded on the pharmaceutical industry. I just

442
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: want to focus everywhere I can on natural solutions. That's

443
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: why I love Relief Factor. You want relief from pain, neck, back, legs, butt, shoulder,

444
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: joint pain, muscle pain, you can find it naturally with

445
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Relief Factor, drug free all natural ingredients. They're so confident

446
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: they sell three week quick star kits. It's not by

447
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: a year of it. It's three week kit nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 1: the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart, Google, Spotify, iTunes. Hey, Chris,

454
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I meant to ask you. You know how I tend

455
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: to fidget and move around a lot during the radio,

456
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes it messes up the volume of my voice

457
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: because all I won't be talking directly into the microphone

458
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: like I'm supposed to do. I still do that. I've

459
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: been better about that. I still do it, okay, but

460
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm better. So you're saying I'm improving. I knew it.

461
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I knew I nailed it. Thanks Chris, what that's what

462
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: I heard? Anyway, appreciate it. I knew I was perfect. Now, anyway,

463
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: how does local corruption work? We talk a lot about

464
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: DC corruption, We talk a lot about compromised congressman like Kendrick.

465
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 7: I want to thank you for leading an agency, as

466
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 7: you mentioned in your opening statement, that protects Americans from

467
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 7: foreign terrace. That an agency that protects Americans.

468
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, we talk enough about that. Let's talk about

469
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: local politics. I've told this story before. I'll tell this

470
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: story again. It's not my story to tell, but it's

471
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: it's a true Onetheless, a friend of mine was on

472
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: the city council in a pretty big city, a right

473
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: pretty big city. And the airport. You know how your

474
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: airport has restaurants in it. Every airport has all these

475
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: restaurants in it. Well, businesses will pay have to pay.

476
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: You got to pay some serious rent to get in

477
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: there because it's so financially lucrative. People are trapped in

478
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: the airport. They have to eat somewhere, so they're gonna

479
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: come eat there. You want your business in an airport, Well,

480
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: the airport was expanding in my buddies hometown, and they

481
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: were adding restaurants. He had a meeting with one of

482
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: the contractors who wanted a contract to do some of

483
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: the construction work for the new restaurants in the airport.

484
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Also very very lucrative. Well, he had a meeting with

485
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: this guy. The guy owed him an official check, he

486
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: owed the city an official check for something he'd done.

487
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: And he hands my buddy an envelope. My buddy takes

488
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: it away, and the guy says goodbye, pays his check

489
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: and leaves. My buddy opens up the envelope and of

490
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: course he pulls out the check that he was owed

491
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: right away, and he says nice, but the envelope still

492
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: really thick, and he looks in it, and the envelope

493
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: is full of one hundred dollars bills. You ever see

494
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: that scene in Shawshank Redemption when the contractor hands him

495
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: a pie and there's an envelope full of hundreds in it.

496
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: Exact same thing happened to my buddy at a little diner.

497
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: My buddy freaks. He thinks it's like an FBI sting

498
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: or something, runs out of the restaurant, chases him down

499
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: and hands it back. Okay, but that's my buddy, how

500
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: many of those breakfast end with someone at the city

501
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: getting rich with a contractor getting a contract he doesn't deserve,

502
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: and the American taxpayer getting fleeced again. The truth is

503
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: that blatant under the table envelope full of cash politics.

504
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't actually happen that much at the federal level

505
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: because their finances are monitored so closely. They get bribed

506
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: and blackmailed in other ways, bad video tap, more campaign donations,

507
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But it's the local level

508
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: where it's really truly dirty, just ugly. And I'm not

509
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: saying that's worse than national but well, here's the story here.

510
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: It is seventy New York City Housing Authority workers accused

511
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: of kickback schemes and bribery. Quote as we allege, the

512
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: seventy defendants charged today allegedly demanded over two million dollars

513
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: in bribe money from contractors in exchange for giving out

514
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: over thirteen million dollars of work on nyc HA buildings.

515
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: That's according to an attorney with the Southern District of

516
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: New York. And if the contractors didn't pay up this

517
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: is from bright, the defendants wouldn't give them the work.

518
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: That's classic pay to play, and this culture of corruption

519
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: at the NYCCHA ends today. That's how it works every time. Look,

520
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: you know I used to do construction, right. I come

521
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: from a construction family. My grandpa did construction, My dad

522
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: did construction. It's what I did. We were contractors. We

523
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: did underground water and sewer line work. That's what. We

524
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't build houses or roads, although I've done a little

525
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: bit of both of that, but we did underground water

526
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and sewer work. And as a contractor, you know, my

527
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: dad started a construction company about the time I left

528
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: the house and joined the Marines called don Kelly Construction.

529
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: He's since retired, it's all gone. But don Kelly Construction

530
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: would try to get a contract with various cities or entities.

531
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: Maybe it would be the City of Houston needs a

532
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: water line or New York City wants a big sewer

533
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: line put in, and you would bounce around the country

534
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: with various cities or counties or or districts, and normally

535
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: you would try to put in a bid and the

536
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: low bidder would get the job. But in many cases

537
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: they had kind of a different setup where hey, everyone

538
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: just submit a proposal and we're not really gonna do

539
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: the low bid thing. What we're gonna do is we

540
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: as a commission, we're gonna sit down and kind of

541
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: review everyone's proposal and then and then we'll pick the

542
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: one we want. Well, let me explain something. When you're

543
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: doing a project or bidding on a project like that,

544
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: you come up with all of your costs. Hey, what's

545
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: the pipe gonna cost, what's the what's this gonna cost,

546
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: what's that's gonna cost, And then at the end of it,

547
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: you know your cost, and then you add profit on

548
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: top of that. Multiple times in major metropolitan areas, we

549
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: would have other contractors submit bids that were at or

550
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: underneath our cost, Meaning they're trying to do this major

551
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: can instruction project for no money or to lose money.

552
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: Do you want to know why? Oftentimes not every time,

553
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, you can't prove it. But they had one

554
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: of those lunches with somebody at the city. They handed

555
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: one of those envelopes to somebody at the city. They

556
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: end up getting the contract, and then at some point

557
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: during the contract there will come the need for something

558
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: called a change order. Hey, this is a wow. You

559
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: guys really underestimated this. We need two more miles of pipe,

560
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: and then you've had all your profit in that change order.

561
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: The guy you bribed approved it, he gets richer, You

562
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: get richer. Everyone else gets off scot free. That is

563
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: what corruption looks like at the local level, and that's

564
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: how it's worked for a long time. It's a dirty ugly,

565
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: is this local politics? It's the most vicious, most corrupt. Look,

566
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: there's a reason your city councilman makes forty grand a

567
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,479
Speaker 1: year and drives a BMW. Okay, And it ain't because

568
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: he saves all right, all right, let's toll have two

569
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: hours left. Let's talk about the death of everything real quick,

570
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: and a bunch of emails next. Hang on,
