Let's have some fun on a Monday, and 3 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: it's going to be a huge show, a huge week 4 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: for you on the Jesse Kelly Show. Let's just dive 5 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: right in. First of all, I will talk briefly, try 6 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: to talk briefly about the hurricane flooding going on right now. 7 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: We'll address that a medal of honor Monday. About an 8 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: hour from now, we have a little Jesse was right segment. 9 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: Actually I take that back, I just misspoke. We have 10 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: a couple of those tonight. That's always a good time. 11 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: This doc strike that is coming tomorrow is the biggest 12 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: deal nobody's talking about. And I have an expert on 13 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff, supply chains, shipping doc Ross Kennedy is 14 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: going to join us about a half hour from now. 15 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: I don't usually say you'd need to hear something, but 16 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: that's something you should probably stay around for. You should 17 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: probably hear that about a half hour from now. All that, 18 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: so much more coming up tonight on the world famous 19 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. And it is a big night. From 20 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: John Carey to Bill Gates. We got to go after 21 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: some commies tonight. I even have some voicemails. Some were great, 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: some were hey, some were just the disaster. All that 23 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: and more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: All Right, first, let's talk about Helene and more specifically, 25 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about why I'm not going to 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: talk that much about Helen tonight. For those who maybe 27 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: are way outside of the know, maybe you were in 28 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: the mountains for the weekend, had your phone off. All 29 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: that stuff's fine, But this hurricane came through. Hurricane itself 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: was bad. It was a Cat three. That's a salty 31 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: hurricane for sure, But as it made its way up 32 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: through Tennessee, North Carolina, obviously hit Florida, it unleashed flooding. 33 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: That is just honestly, the pictures, the videos, the things 34 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: that I've spent the last twenty four hours consuming, they're 35 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: very hard to see when you see people going through hell. 36 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: As you are listening to the sound of my voice 37 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: right now, there are so many people missing, there are 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: many people who are dead. The damage, it's awful. It's 39 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: everything about it is completely awful. And it's another reminder. 40 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: We hate these reminders because it makes us feel small. Well, 41 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: I should say it reminds us how small we are 42 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: that for all the incredible power of mankind to create 43 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: for himself cities and towns and spaces and areas, the 44 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: power of nature is still such that it can wipe 45 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: it all away, if that's the way it goes. And 46 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: it's scary to think about. I live in a hurricane area. 47 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: We witnessed it with Hurricane Harvey. The flooding, the devastation. 48 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: It's just you think you're fine and then your house 49 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: is underwater. So first, let's just do this. We need 50 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: to pray when people are going through what they're going 51 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: through right now. You don't have to wait till the 52 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: show's over, please, don't. We need to pray. This is 53 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: a time to pray. Every time it's time to pray, 54 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: but this is a time to pray for these people. 55 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: That is one two as far as helping goes. I 56 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: have some things that I'm looking at. Organizations not mine. 57 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: This won't be me, organizations looking at and I'm going 58 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: to try to find one. It may be a big one, 59 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: it may be a small one. I'm going to try 60 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to find one. And if you have a heart to 61 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: help and dig in, I will give that out. I 62 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: am not giving any out right now because I need 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: to explain something to you. I have worked in the 64 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: quote nonprofit world. I worked there for a year. I 65 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: was a director of development in the nonprofit nonprofit world 66 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: for a year. I know, Chris, it sounds very fancy. 67 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: I was a very important person. Shut up. I've worked 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: in that world. There are a bunch of great people 69 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: in that world with good hearts for a good costs. 70 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: You know, the preborns, the tunnel to towers. You know 71 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: how you can tell though you don't have to take 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: my word for those things. There are charity rating sites. 73 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: These are independent sites. They go through the books of 74 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: a charity. They go through what they have coming in, 75 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: what they have going out, where it's going out, and 76 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: they will rate the charity. Go look up Preborns, Go 77 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: look up tunnel to towers. Why are those two ones 78 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: that I scream about on my show? Because when you 79 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: give there, it goes exactly where you want it to go. 80 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: That is not the rule for charities and nonprofits. I remember, 81 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: like it was yesterday when Harvey had my entire area. 82 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: Hurricane Harvey had my entire area underwater. I was fined. 83 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Don't worry about me, By the grace of God, we 84 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: were fine, but people were devastated. And I remember crep 85 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: that was pulled by the American Red Cross and other 86 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: major organizations send us money to help the Harvey people. 87 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: And if you followed the money, pennies on the dollar 88 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: got to the Harvey people. This is a warning to 89 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: you to be as shrewd as a snake. And here's 90 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: why we're often not on a day like today, when 91 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: we're devastating for these people and we want to help, 92 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: and they need our help and they need our prayers, 93 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: our emotions get in the way my emotions. It's happened 94 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: to me before. I've ever to one of the more 95 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: embarrassing stories of my life. You know, I'm not huge 96 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: on technology. I'm better now, believe it or not, than 97 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: I was. But I think it was five or ten 98 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: years ago. I got a message. It was on social media. 99 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: I was with my family. I was with my mom, 100 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: my dad, my sister, my wife. We were at something 101 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: and I got a message on social media from someone 102 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: I knew. This was a person I knew, and they 103 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: told me that they were stranded in Africa and they 104 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: need ten thousand. It wasn't one of those print scams, 105 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: but it was something along those lines. But it was 106 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: a message from someone I knew, and I immediately sprung 107 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: out of my chair and I said, oh my gosh, 108 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: he's in trouble. I got to go send this. And 109 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: my own mother said, Jessie, that's a scam. Someone hacked 110 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: their account and you're getting ready to send them money. 111 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: And of course after she said that, I thought, gosh, 112 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm such an idiot. Of course that's a freaking scam. 113 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: But I got emotional. It was a friend, it was 114 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: someone I knew. Gosh, I gotta help o Ever, that's 115 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: what happens to us, that's what's happening to you to 116 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: me today. Help. I want you to help. Once you 117 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: have verified the organization or if it's an individual, verify, Verify, Verify. 118 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: Don't go on Facebook and see a picture about how 119 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Muffy was swept away in the flood, and for the low, 120 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: low price of twenty nine to ninety five, you will 121 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: help them get Muffy back. He's somewhere in the flood. 122 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: You don't know that person. I know Muffy's cute. Be 123 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: careful give. I'm asking you to give. I have given, 124 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: I will give more but give where you trust, verify first. 125 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: They will use your emotions against you to send your 126 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: money places it shouldn't go. 127 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: All. 128 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: Right now, maybe you're sitting here expecting me. I'm sure 129 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: you've heard a ton of this today. Maybe you're sitting 130 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: here expecting me to go off about the federal response 131 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: or lack thereof. Right now, where is FEMA? Where's the 132 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: federal government? FEMA's here, They're not doing enough. Let me 133 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: explain to you why I'm not going to do that. 134 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Two different reasons why I'm not going to do that. One, 135 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: I long ago accepted that the federal government hates me, 136 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: the federal government hates you. I'm not under any delusions 137 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: that it's different than that they despise us. That's one 138 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: I never expected FEMA, even if it could help, that 139 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: they would help. And FEMA, because it's government is a 140 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: misorganized ester anyway. And FEMA has goal number one on 141 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: their website about equity. Did you think this was just 142 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: Dome who spoke like this. It's on FEMA's website. 143 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: It is our lowest income communities and our communities of 144 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 3: color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and 145 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: impacted by issues that are not of their own making, 146 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 3: and so absolutely, and so we have to address this 147 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. 148 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I need to clarify that's an old clip. That was 149 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: not her response to this hurricane. That was her response 150 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: to another hurricane. So whatever, but it doesn't matter. That's 151 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: FEMA's stance too. I wasn't ever banking on FEMA. You 152 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: know what I do bank on and what I've been 153 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: so inspired by for the last twenty four to forty 154 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: eight hours, the American people. I mentioned Hurricane Harvey. It 155 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: touches my heart to this day. And I look back 156 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: at Hurricane Harvey and I saw neighbors, people who didn't 157 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: know each other, coming together to help, helping clear roads, 158 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: helping get people out, giving money, giving water, giving food. 159 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: The American people can and will step up for each 160 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: other and help each other, and we must do that. 161 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: We must do that. So not going to stand on 162 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: the dead bodies of Hurricane Heleen and trash the government 163 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: or whatever, we know what they are. I'm going to 164 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: bank on the American people to get it right, and 165 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: they will get it right. So bow your head, say 166 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: a prayer, be very shrewd with your giving but if 167 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: you can, even if it's a case of water whatever, 168 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: if you can find the right place and give I 169 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: will try to find one. It may even be a 170 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: small one, but I will try to find one that 171 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: I have verified, that I trust, and I will give 172 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: it to you. Okay, Okay. Also, I know I already 173 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: said that ten times, but pray. There's a lot of 174 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: people who need it right now. And there's a lot 175 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: of people looking for a missing loved one who need 176 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: a miracle. Say a prayer for them. Okay, all right, enough, 177 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: enough of that mushy stuff. Let's talk about me. No, 178 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk about me, not really, We're gonna 179 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: talk Remember that talk we did last week about leaders 180 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: of Western civilization and why they despise it. Oh, I 181 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: owe a debt a gratitude to a mister John Kerry 182 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: for going ahead and reinforcing my point. We'll play that 183 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: in a moment. If you don't remember that talk from 184 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: last week, it's probably because your tea levels are too low. 185 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: You see, testosterone is about a lot more than making babies. 186 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Testosterone is about your mind and your mood. Do you 187 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: have a clear mind, are you focused? Are you energetic 188 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: or are you down all the time, kind of foggy. 189 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm forgetful. I turned fifty and I started forgetting things. 190 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: You ever said stuff to yourself like that supposed to 191 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: be that way. Your tea levels are dropping because you're 192 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: drinking estrogen. It's in our water. Now we have to 193 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: fight back against that naturally, in natural ways. And that's 194 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: what a male vitality stack from Chalk. You know Chalk Choq. 195 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: They have the natural herbal supplements.

I talk a lot 216 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: about the leaders of Western civilization, how they think and 217 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: why they think that way. I'm going to play something 218 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: for you, says a little long This is me from 219 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: last week on the show was on the twenty sixth, 220 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: and this talk I did was very, very long. But 221 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: John Kerrey said something came out over the weekend. Man Alive. 222 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: I owe him a thanks because boy that he proved 223 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: the old oracle right in case you were missing it. 224 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: This is what I said last week. The nature of 225 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: people who are in charge or in government, it generally 226 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: is not a nature of service. I'm a servant of 227 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: the people, even though they love using that language. The 228 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: nature of people who walk into positions of power generally 229 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: is man, I'm a king, or at least I should be, 230 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: and I should have more power than I do. And 231 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: if I just had more power than I do now, 232 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: then I can do this and that and this and that. 233 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: And we have to understand that before we go further 234 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: into this is going to come back to immigration and 235 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: illegal immigration in the system. We have to understand the 236 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: people who took over Western civilization over time, they all 237 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: shared that mentality. They don't have some love of the 238 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: constitution or rights or you or anything. These concepts are 239 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: completely foreign to them. They do know that they are 240 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: high society and they know something else. They know that 241 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: these these limits on their power, they're not good. Something 242 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: has to be done about it. That was me from 243 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: the twenty sixth Allow me to introduce you what Chris, 244 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: it's fine. Allow me to introduce you to one John Kerry. Hey, John, 245 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: if you're listening, appreciate you for making my point. 246 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: Look, if people go to only one source, and the 247 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: source they go to is sick and you know, as 248 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment 249 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: stands as a major block to the ability to be 250 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: able to just you hammer it out of existence. So 251 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: what you need, what we need is to is to 252 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully 253 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: having you know, winning enough votes that you're free to 254 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: be able to implement change. 255 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: That's about thirty seconds of terror if you really really 256 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: listen to what he's saying there. I know you already 257 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: heard the part that proves my point that pesky First Amendment. 258 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: But let's break this down a little bit more, shall we, 259 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: John describe the First Amendment? Now, keep in mind before 260 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: I play this, you being able to criticize your government, 261 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: to say the president sucks, screw Joe Biden. That is 262 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: not a small thing or just something that makes Twitter 263 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: more fun. Being able to freely speak, have your own 264 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: opinion and criticize those in charge. People throughout history would 265 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: have killed for that right. It's a sacred right, something 266 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: you should wrap your arms around and protect at any cost. 267 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: What's John Kerry and the rest of the elite think 268 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: about it? 269 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: But look, if people go to only one source, and 270 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: the source they go to is sick and you know, 271 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: as an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First 272 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: Amendment stands as a major block to the. 273 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: These people are putting out this sick agenda, and it's 274 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: disgusting that first Amendment stands as what is it? A 275 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: precious right given to you by God? No, it's a 276 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: major block. It's holding John back. But that's not the 277 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: most revealing part of it. In fact, it's not even second. 278 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: There are two other parts of this. The most revealing 279 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: part actually comes next. So John Kerry matter about this 280 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: first Amendment? But if he could get around it, if 281 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: he could find a way around it, Hey, John, how 282 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: would you handle this problem? Are you do? You want 283 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: to convince the people who disagree with you, bring them 284 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: over to your side? How would you How would you 285 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: describe the best way to handle all this information? You 286 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: don't like. 287 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Ability to be able to just you know, hammer it 288 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: out of existence? 289 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: So yep, you want to what now, John? You want 290 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: to hammer it? Interesting way they think about it, isn't it. 291 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: If it wasn't for that annoying First Amendment holding them back, 292 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: then they could show up at your door and hammer 293 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: that out of existence? How they think? Did you think 294 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: I was being dramatic last week when I was describing 295 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: how they think, Oh, not near done. We're actually going 296 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: to talk to Ross Kennedy, and then we're going to 297 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: break this thing down in even more detail. Yahly, these 298 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: people are horrifying. Before we do that, let's talk about IFCJ. 299 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: So today, on top of all the other assassinations and things, 300 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: Iran's supreme leader has been taken to a secure location 301 00:18:52,920 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: and Israel has begun making little raids into Lebanon. I 302 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: don't know where all this is going. I don't know 303 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: whether it's almost over or if it's beginning. But I 304 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: know that there are a bunch of people in Israel 305 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: right now who need some help.

You know more 331 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: than anyone else I've ever talked to in my life 332 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: about supply chains, about all kinds of this stuff, and 333 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: I don't understand how these things work. I'm told that 334 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: there's a big long Shorman union and they're about to 335 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: go on strike at midnight, and that the entire world 336 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: is going to implode when that happens. So I'm just 337 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: going to hand over the world famous Jesse Kelly Show 338 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: to you to explain to all of us exactly what 339 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: is happening. If I interrupt, it's because I'm stupid and confused. 340 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: What's happening. 341 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 4: Well, so, there has not been a wart stoppage related 342 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: to the International Longshormans Association. So there's actually two unions 343 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 4: in the US that represent the longshorm in which are 344 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 4: the individuals that are working at the ports to load 345 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: and unload containers, cargo, move things around the port. It's 346 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: kind of a complex web of activity, and you know 347 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: all the beehives. But the upshot is is that there's 348 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 4: a West Coast union which had a significant risk of 349 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 4: a major labor stoppage in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, 350 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: et cetera last year. This year, it is now anything 351 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: that's the US East Coast or Gulf Coast ports, so 352 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 4: everything from Houston all the way up to Maine, and 353 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: there's about forty five thousand longshoremen that are involved in 354 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 4: this labor dispute comes down to two things. Primarily, Number 355 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: one is pay. They're paid about thirty to thirty five 356 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year less than their counterparts on the 357 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: West Coast. Obviously have cost of living and all sorts 358 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 4: of things, but these are different unions that are representing 359 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 4: the interests of their members on the two coasts versus 360 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 4: the left coast. The other issue is one of automation. 361 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: There has been a huge push globally within major ports 362 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 4: to have automated or semi automated equipment that are largely 363 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: able to handle the loading and unloading of containers with cranes, 364 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: movement around on dock, stacking of containers. That obviously does 365 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 4: away with a lot of jobs. That's an existential threat 366 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 4: in their mind. The upshot to that is is that 367 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: there's you know, significantly high risk of extra fees, delays, 368 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 4: things that go with a manned port versus an automated port. 369 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 4: If you look at going back into say twenty twenty two, 370 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: towards the tail end of a lot of the COVID 371 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 4: supply chain issues that we were seeing in port, the 372 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 4: top four or five highest ports in the world for 373 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 4: these extra fees were US ports that are more or 374 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 4: less manned. When you look at some of the very 375 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 4: large automated ports where there really isn't a lot of 376 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: labor on the dock to say any it's all being 377 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 4: run by the robots and it's being run from a 378 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 4: control room. That's Shanghai, that's Rotterdam, that support of Antwerp 379 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 4: in Belgium. Some of these massive ports that move more 380 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 4: volume than a lot of the ones we have in 381 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 4: the US were significantly reduced in terms of extra costs, 382 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 4: extra fees, delays to the people that are moving, you know, 383 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: the shippers that are moving cargo on and off the port. 384 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 4: So they really do see this as in this automation 385 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 4: is going to kill their profession. They see themselves, at 386 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 4: least the ISLA, the East Coast and Gulf Coast Long 387 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 4: Shoman see themselves as underpaid compared to the others. And 388 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 4: there is some validity to that relative to the fact 389 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 4: that a lot of these ports are more manual labor 390 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 4: intensive related to handling cargo and the docks and on 391 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: the ships than the West coast ports. So it's kind 392 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 4: of a muddy mess. And now we're here at kind 393 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 4: of d day where if the talks between the Maritime 394 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 4: Association that represents reports and ship owners on the East 395 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: Coast and in the Gulf don't come to an agreement 396 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: with the forty five thousand members of the ISLA that 397 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 4: are involved in this, then all the ports that are 398 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 4: involved will shut down. So yeah, it's an ugly situation. 399 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 4: It's coming right ahead of the election. The longest Shorman 400 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: unions have historically been very Democrat, and this now comes 401 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: on the back of Hurricane Helen doing hurricane things. So 402 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 4: it's a lot of competing political priorities and timing here 403 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 4: right ahead of the election. 404 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, speaking with Ross Kennedy Fortis analysis, I have 405 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: so many questions I don't even know where to begin. 406 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: But that was all actually pretty terrifying. Ross. I'd gotten 407 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: myself horrified this morning thinking about the implications of shutting 408 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: down the East coast ports, and then I convinced myself 409 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: when I texted you to come on. I convinced myself 410 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: that Ross will come on and calm me down and 411 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: tell me everything's going to work out fine. But somehow 412 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: I'm twice as scared now as I was before I 413 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: even asked the question. And I'm worried because it sounds 414 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: not insurmountable. What all these things get worked out eventually 415 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: in the end, But just doing some rough community college 416 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: math in my head. Underpaid by thirty five thousand a 417 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: man forty five thousand union guys. That sounds like you're 418 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: asking the ship owners to fork out a large check. 419 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: They're simply not going to fork out at all. It 420 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: sounds like they're a million miles away. Am I missing something. 421 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 4: Roughly two point eight billion dollars apart right now on 422 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: the negotiating stance. So they want a seventy seventy seven 423 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 4: percent pay increase that phases in over the nest five years. 424 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: You're talking about an eighty one thousand dollars average salary 425 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 4: or compensation, not including overtime benefits for the long shorm. 426 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 4: And so you take that time forty five thousand, and 427 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: we would be looking at about across these ports that 428 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: move forty percent of the cargo in and out of 429 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: the US, including especially a lot of fruits, a lot 430 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 4: of vegetables, a lot of energy products, automobiles, minerals are 431 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: very heavy in the Gulf and East Coast ports versus 432 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: the West Coast. You're talking about a two point eight 433 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 4: billion dollar increase that would be eaten by the terminals 434 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: the ports. So you have a port, you have multiple 435 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 4: terminals usually within the port, that operate independently but under 436 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 4: the port authority, and then you have the ship owners, 437 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: so that two point eight billion over the next five 438 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 4: years would have to be spread fairly equally across taxpayers 439 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: and fairly equally across the people at the bottom of 440 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: the totem pole who pay every additional charge, which is 441 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: the importer or the exporter. 442 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask this question. Sorry, Ross, I may 443 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: end up by the way I should note. Do I 444 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: have you for an extra ten It's fine if I didn't. 445 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: We didn't talk about this before. I just have a 446 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: lot of questions here. Do I have you for another segment? Okay? Good? 447 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: Because that leads me to this question, is that don't 448 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: want don't want it to be my last one? What 449 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: kind of margins? I'm not one of these guys who 450 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: goes after people's profits, but you mentioned two point eight 451 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: billion or two what it's called three billion dollars. That 452 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a ton of money when you're dealing 453 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: with that many different ports and that much industry. I 454 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: know it's a lot of money. I'm not thumb in 455 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: my nose at two point eight billion dollars, but surely 456 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: the profits are there to pay that, right? Are there 457 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: not big margins? 458 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 4: Well? You shipowners had lost you know, in the aggregate 459 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: you know what we call containership. You know, owners had 460 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 4: lost you know, in the last twenty five years prior 461 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 4: to COVID, I think every year but twenty three, or 462 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 4: every year but two of the twenty five they had 463 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 4: lost money. COVID really, COVID really reversed their fortunes because 464 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 4: they were able to begin charging excessive surcharges that were 465 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 4: within the law but certainly not within the spirit. So 466 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 4: you've had the Federal Maritime Commission doing a number of 467 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 4: studies and surveys and assessing fines and penalties to the 468 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 4: ocean carriers for these extra surcharges that are very much 469 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 4: out of the scope and were kind of created on 470 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 4: an ad hoc basis to avoid the law and charge 471 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 4: more money back to the importer and exporter who ultimately 472 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 4: paid a bill for everything involved with an ocean freight transaction. 473 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 4: In this particular case, what you would see are container 474 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: lines implementing very quickly additional search charges for labor risk 475 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 4: for you know, port operational slowdowns. So every dollar in 476 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 4: known quantified risk in this case two point eight billion 477 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 4: over the next five years is they're going to find 478 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 4: a way to recoup that using that as a justification 479 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 4: three to four to five ways, but it won't be 480 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 4: dollars equal. When you look at twenty twenty twenty to 481 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 4: twenty two, thirteen point eight billion dollars in excess searcharges 482 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 4: and fees were collected by the ports terminals and notion 483 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 4: carriers as a result of all of the supply chain 484 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 4: challenges and logistics challenges that we had related to COVID. 485 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 4: So if we say the longshoremen are responsible for ten 486 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 4: percent at most, this two point eight billion dollar increase 487 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 4: rolls down to about four hundred and forty million a year, 488 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: that you could credibly say the longshoremen are responsible for 489 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 4: those extra fees happening. The other ninety percent is a 490 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 4: whole bunch of other factors. So what they're really arguing 491 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 4: against is pay US two point eight billion over the 492 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: next five years and avoid automation or anytime there's a 493 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: risk or disruption or whatever. We're talking a billion dollar 494 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 4: to five billion dollars depending on the math you look 495 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 4: at hit to the US economy every day the ports 496 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 4: are shut down. So it's a hostage situation on the 497 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 4: you know, between two parties who neither of them in 498 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 4: a lot of ways, are really all that people are 499 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 4: not going to be inclined to see their side of it. 500 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 4: It's a it's a lot of extra money. Where we 501 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 4: go and strike having that multi billion dollar impact to 502 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 4: the US economy, or we continue with the status quo. 503 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 4: You give in to our demands and you're still going 504 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 4: to end up paying US two point eight billion dollars 505 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 4: over the next five years. 506 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: All right, look we are I'm up against the break. 507 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: We're going to come back with Ross Kennedy Fordists analysis. 508 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: I have some questions about the impact to you. To me, 509 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: what if this thing's gonna go on for a bit, 510 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: and it sounds like there's a chance it might. I 511 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: want to know what we're what we're in store for 512 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: before we do that. So I get a lot of 513 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: emails about self defense. And look, I am not some 514 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: defense expert. I'm not some freaking navy seal or something 515 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: like that. I know a bit about a bit. I 516 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: will tell you personally what I do. I carry lethal 517 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: because I am allowed to do so. I live in 518 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: a state where I'm allowed to do so. I carry lethal. 519 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: I carry my Springfield hell Cat Pro, and I carry 520 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: non lethal. I love having a non lethal option. If 521 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: there's some crazy homeless guy leaning on my car and 522 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: don't don't move, won't move, I need to leave. Not 523 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: gonna blow his head off, right, I want a non 524 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: lethal option. BURNA is the non lethal option. B Why RNA. 525 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a blue area. They won't allow you 526 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: to have a gun. Everyone's allowed to have Berna. Everybody 527 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: legal in all fifty states, No permit needed, no nothing. 528 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: It's tear gas balls or pepper balls or kinetic rounds. 529 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: Those are just the hard plastic rounds. Get one. Whether 530 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: you carry lethal or not. You need a burn A 531 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: pistol launcher. B y RNA, Berna dot com slash Jesse, 532 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: We'll be back. 533 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 2: The Jesse Kelly Show. 534 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: It is The Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of the 535 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: first hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. We're ten minutes 536 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: away from Medal of Honor Monday. I just wanted to 537 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: finish up my conversation with Ross Kennedy Fortis Analysis, our 538 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: shipping logistics supply chain guy. What are we in store 539 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: for with this long shorm and union strike on the 540 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: East Coast? All right, Ross, you just broke down all 541 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: the gripes if you will of each side. I get 542 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: all that, but me the American consumer. You mentioned things 543 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: like cars will shoot. I got a sixteen year old 544 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: who's gonna need one soon if this thing goes on. 545 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: If they don't work this out, and they sound far apart, 546 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: what are we the consumer in store for? 547 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 4: Well, if it's just a one day shut down, you know, 548 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 4: train falls off the tracks. Tomorrow we get into a 549 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 4: twenty four hour shutdown, you're still talking about a week 550 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 4: to get supply chains back on track. You know, it's 551 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 4: a Train's a really useful analogy here for a couple 552 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 4: of reasons. Number One, once it comes to a dead stop, 553 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 4: it takes an awful long time and power for it 554 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 4: to break friction and get moving down the tracks again, 555 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 4: both literally and metaphorically. The reason for that is is 556 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 4: that as containers stop, as trucks stop, the backlog continues. 557 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 4: The ship still continue coming in ocean, carriers are still 558 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 4: re routing and moving cargo to West coast ports away 559 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 4: from the East coast. None of that just you know, 560 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 4: stops on a dime and everything goes back to normal. 561 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 4: One of the other things that's not really been discussed here. 562 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 4: Everybody's focused on the fact that you know, something like 563 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 4: thirty ports, the thirty five ports in the US on 564 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 4: the Gulf Coast and the East Coast would be impacted 565 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 4: by this. The other challenge, though, is that the East 566 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 4: coast ports, particularly Norfolk, Savannah and New York, are what 567 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 4: we call intermodal gateways, meaning that they are the primary 568 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 4: on dock for rail service with the Norfolk, Southern, and 569 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 4: CSX railroads into Chicago, Saint Louis, the Ohio's if Ohio 570 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 4: were real, which is a favorite joke for everybody. So 571 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 4: you have all of these inland points that are connected 572 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 4: directly to and the lifeblood of them is the rail 573 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 4: movements that comes to and from these ports at the 574 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 4: coasts and so things that normally come inland. It doesn't 575 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 4: just impact companies at the coast consumers at the coast. 576 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 4: It impacts any company that imports their exports that's based 577 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 4: in Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, Saint Louis, 578 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 4: even Kansas City, all the w way you know, down 579 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 4: the line. So it really impacts all supply chains in 580 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 4: the eastern half of the US, not just what's happening 581 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 4: at the coasts, and when you're looking at the fact 582 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 4: that it's a lot of fruit, a lot of vegetables, juice, meat, 583 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 4: a lot most of those things. You know, by sixty 584 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 4: to seventy five, almost eighty percent of a lot of 585 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 4: fresh food stuffs come in through these ports because we 586 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 4: source so much of that, not from Asia, but from 587 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 4: South America and Central America, which primarily used the Gulf 588 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 4: Coast and East Coast ports is their gateways into the US. 589 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 4: So it is one day, not a big deal, but 590 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 4: you'll still feel the impact in terms of port operations 591 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 4: and slow downs for a week. If a strike were 592 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 4: to say drag on a week, you're talking months of 593 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 4: recovery because of the backlogs that come into play and 594 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 4: coming up, you know, right ahead of Christmas shopping season, 595 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: given that the US consumer has a habit of running, 596 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 4: you know, runs on store inventory on the shelf. Whenever 597 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 4: there's a perceived shortage. When you're talking about we're coming 598 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 4: into the season, when the autumn makers are planning, you know, 599 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 4: I've already begun and will aggressively continue ramping up roll 600 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 4: out of the twenty twenty five vehicles, a lot of 601 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 4: these sectors that touch our daily lives would be looking 602 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 4: at short term to intermediate term increase costs, and then 603 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 4: the tail of that, of course, being everybody knowing people 604 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 4: understand strikes, they don't understand mechanisms of supply chain being 605 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 4: able to take advantage of that to increase prices further 606 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 4: as a way to generate more profits, which historically has 607 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 4: been the behavior of all of the parties involved on 608 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 4: the back end of a striker a major supply chain disruption. 609 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: Ross, you are the man. We are all smarter now, 610 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: thank you so much, my brother, as always that that 611 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: was extremely helpful. Thank you, very welcome. Guessing all right, 612 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: oh man, well, my palms are sweaty. I don't know 613 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: about you. My palms are sweaty. Now we'll be fine. Look, 614 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: we'll be fine in the end. But that was we 615 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: might be in for a rocky road, I guess now 616 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: we don't. If the strike's a day, things are gonna 617 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: be screwed up for a week. If the strike's a week, 618 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: things will be screwed up for months. I didn't want 619 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: to ask him if the strike's a month long, because 620 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: who knows. It's Medal of honor Monday We're gonna do 621 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: medal of honor Monday. Next hour. I'll probably do a 622 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: voicemailer to next hour, someone is returning to politics, and 623 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: I always told you they would. We are going to 624 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: discuss that next hour. All that and so much more 625 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: is still to come on the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show. 626 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: Before we get to any of those things. Remember we 627 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: talked at the beginning of the show about charities you 628 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: can trust and charities you can't. I don't ever have 629 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: to be nervous about sitting here telling you to go 630 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: give what you can to preborn. Preborn is the one 631 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: setting up pro life clinics in the highest abortion areas, 632 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: giving free ultra sounds to women so they can hear 633 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,280 Speaker 1: that heart beat, eat and choose life. The women preborn 634 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: finds they're the ones about to abort their babies. That 635 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: baby's head is on the chopping block. That was a 636 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: terrible way to put that, but you understand what I mean. 637 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: Without preborn stepping in, that baby's going to die. Preborn 638 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: steps in and saves lives every single day. You know, 639 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: they save like two hundred lives a day because of you. 640 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: And go look them up. When you give the preborn. 641 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: It gets to the babies and the moms. Twenty eight 642 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: bucks saves that life. Twenty eight bucks buys that ultrasound. 643 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: Tonight's the night. It's tax deductible. Give them twenty eight million. 644 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: If you got it, I don't care.
