1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that the holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: percent off a big man. Huh, good idea. This is 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on KPRC nine fifty. Here's Jesse Kelly. 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: You know something morbid I think about Maybe this is 22 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: my personality. Maybe this is uh Marine Corps thing. Maybe 23 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: it's just a guy thing. I don't know. But I 24 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: think about my end, you know, my death. I don't. 25 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't mean think about it. And I don't want 26 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: to die. I mean I don't. I don't want to die. 27 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: Not superhuman here, But that's I don't think about it 28 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: in that way. I think about how I want to go. 29 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: And I guess part of the reason I think about 30 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: that is I love these great figures in history. I 31 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: say great. I mean, some of these guys are monsters. 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: But as we've always said, what's that great lord act? 33 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: In line, almost all great men are bad men. I 34 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: like the ones who got to go out a great way, 35 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: their own way, the way, you know, if they penciled 36 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: out their life. I want to do this and this 37 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: and this, you know what, and this is how I 38 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: want to die. I think that's awesome. Like Alexander, the 39 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: great story, that's that has always bummed me out. I 40 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: don't mind that he died young, was thirty two thirty three. 41 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: But this amazing general, maybe the greatest tactical general of 42 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: all time, always outnumbered, tears through everybody, never loses a battle, 43 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: and get sick and dies. Maybe poison, they don't know. 44 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: But Alexander the Great should have died with a spear 45 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: in his hand somewhere right. Let us talk for a 46 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: moment about King Pyrus. Now you need to be thinking 47 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: two fifty BC. That's I mean, that's rough, but you 48 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: know I always keep it rough for you. King Pyrus 49 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: was He was the king of Eperus. Now I understand 50 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: all these words are starting to clash together already. Don't 51 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: let your eyes glaze over. Let me explain. You can 52 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: picture the boot of Italy. Now, off the southeast coast, 53 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: across that little body of water, there was this place 54 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: called Epirus. It was Greece. They were Greek. And understand 55 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: this about the Greeks, and this is difficult to understand 56 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: when we look at history, because everything tends to glob together. 57 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: We do that to simplify things, and I do it 58 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: too all the time, We all do it. Greece wasn't 59 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: necessarily grease, but it was Greece. And I mean that 60 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: in this way, each city state had its own thing, 61 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: very much, its own thing. Sparta here Athens there eventually 62 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: Macedonia or Macedonia. You have all these different and there 63 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: are so many others, all these different Greeks, and they 64 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: were always fighting. Picture them like brothers who didn't get along. 65 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: They were already always fighting and often killing each other. However, 66 00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: there was this thing about being Greek where they would 67 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: kill each other all the time. But there are plenty 68 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: of times they just didn't take kindly to you trying 69 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: to kill one of their Greek brothers. No, no, I 70 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: can beat up my brother. You can't beat up my 71 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: brother's that's gonna be a no for me. Which brings 72 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: us to the city of Tarentum. They are on the 73 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: Italian Peninsula. They're on what you would picture as Italy 74 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: to a again across the water from Eperus, and Tarentum 75 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: is a Greek city. Now you have to understand, and 76 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: this can be difficult because again we glob even time together. 77 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Rome was not quite Rome yet, not the Rome you 78 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: think of the Rome that rules the Nome world, the 79 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: Rome that rules the Mediterranean. Yes, they were very powerful, 80 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: but they were still an upstart and just got done 81 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: taking over the middle of the Italian Peninsula. They didn't 82 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: even have the South yet, they did not even own 83 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: their own peninsula yet, and Tarentum was one of those 84 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: Greek states on the bottom, and they were in some 85 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: trouble in King Pyrus Pieris, I'm sorry, was a bad dude, 86 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: and I mean a bad dude. You remember Hannibal. We've 87 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: talked about Hannibal before. Hannibal Barka, Hannibal of Carthage maybe 88 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: the greatest general ever. He said, Pieris was the second 89 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: greatest general who ever lived, besides Alexander the Great. When 90 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: I say Pierus is a bad dude, I mean a 91 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: bad dude. And he goes over and fights the Romans 92 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: and he kicks the crap out of them, and then 93 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: he goes down to Sicily where the Carthagens are. You know, 94 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: they're kicking everyone around down there in Sicily. Was like, hey, Pierce, 95 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: can you come help us? And he says, yes, I 96 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: certainly can, and he marches on down there and kicks 97 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: the crap out of them too. Then he goes back 98 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: to Italy and he's like, maybe I'll fight Rome again. 99 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: And this is basically what this guy did. He took 100 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: his twenty five to thirty thousand troops, including war elephants, 101 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: which is sweet, by the way, and he went around 102 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: stomping everybody else now he ran into a problem. By 103 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: the time he got back to Italy, Rome, who had 104 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: already hurt him badly. Even though he won the last battle, 105 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: the Romans were waking up. You see, he tried to 106 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: attack the Romans again, this time in anticipation of Pierce's 107 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: war elephants. The Romans took a bunch of pigs, covered 108 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: those pigs in soot, in pitch. I mean, it's flammable oil, 109 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: all right, sticky flammable oil. And they lit the pigs 110 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: on fire and sent the pigs down the hill towards 111 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: the elephants. One, obviously, that sounds horrific. Two, I bet 112 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: that smelled wonderful. Stop Chris. Three, imagine how that sounded, 113 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: a screaming, burning pig running down the hill. Now, know 114 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that elephants can be a little skittish, you can imagine 115 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: how that went. Before Pieris knew it, his own elephants 116 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: were ripping through his own people because they were scared 117 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: to death. Long story short, Piis ends up back in Greece, 118 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: got about eight thousand dudes with him, looking around, and 119 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: he thinks to himself, well, we gotta do something right, 120 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden there's this guy in Sparta. 121 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Now understand this, this is not again all time and 122 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: history globs together. This is not the Sparta, you know, 123 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: the three hundred Sparta, the Spartans who are the bat Now, 124 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: they're still Sparta. They're still bad dudes, but they're not 125 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: at their peak nowhere near. And there was a former king, 126 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: royal blood, guy Cleonymus of Sparta, and he said, my 127 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: fellow Spartans hate me. I bet you I can hire Paris, 128 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: and Paris will go and attack Sparta and then make 129 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: me king. They'll put me in his king Pieris says, well, yeah, 130 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: we need some money, right. Then they march on down 131 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: to Sparta. Now here's the problem for Piaris. Sparta may 132 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: not have been Sparta of old, but how many times 133 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: have we talked about Sparta on this show. You remember, 134 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: even the women are rumored to be some of the 135 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: most beautiful in the world because they were even fitness freaks, 136 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: because the Spartans believe that a fit woman and obviously 137 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: a military man would create a stronger air, a stronger 138 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: military next generation. Well, you don't just march into Sparta 139 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: and start slapping people around. They had everybody, men, women 140 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: and children, stabbing spears at him. Pieris has to back away. Well, 141 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: now Pierres needs something to do. Pieris looks over and 142 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: there's a little dispute in this town called Argos. And 143 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: here we have this greatest general, Hannibal Barca himself says, 144 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: the greatest general whoever lived, looks over at Argos and 145 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: says to himself, Wow, this should be easy, right. It 146 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: wasn't easy. I saw a little thing approaching me. She said, 147 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: I've never seen a man who looks well alone. Could 148 00:10:47,400 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: you use a little company on my way? My girls 149 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. I just want to use your love tonight. 150 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: Stand but keep it. I just I don't Chris. We 151 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: need to mix it for eighties, we do, right, you 152 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: know what, we neglect the eighties. That's a good jam 153 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: right there. You'd never picked that jam was one of 154 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the you know, top twenty songs of all time. But 155 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: every time that song comes on, you're listening, huh. I 156 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: haven't heard that song in ages. As soon as it 157 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: came on, I'm like, dude, yes, yes, let's do this. 158 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: King Pieris heads to Argos. It was going to quote 159 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: settle a dispute, but there was another army on the way. 160 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: He didn't think they were there, yet they were there. 161 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: They get in a massive street battle in the streets 162 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: of Argos, and we have this amazing General Piaris, and 163 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: I I had to gloss over so much of his 164 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: life as we have time constraints on the show, but 165 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: I would highly highly recommend you read up on him, 166 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: and I'll talk about him again with individual battles and 167 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: things like that. I will, but just know this, this 168 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: dude was a beast. And I don't mean the kind 169 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: of beast that sits back in his tent while everyone 170 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: else is out there bleeding. I'm talking about the kind 171 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: of guy just like Alexander. He was at the front 172 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: of every battle, chopping people to bits, taken wounds. He 173 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: got in one battle that was so bad against the Romans, 174 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: and he had on special armor and this big purple 175 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: cloak and he was just putting bodies in the ground. 176 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: According to the stories, I mean the dudes on horseback 177 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: chopping people up. And finally all the Romans are coming 178 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: at him because they can see Paris's own troops are launching. 179 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: And let me tell you, if you've never been there, 180 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: when your leader is putting himself in the most harms way. 181 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: There is something about that that is inspirational, and his 182 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: troops were looking at this dude thinking dude, I will 183 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: lay down and die for this guy. Finally, so many 184 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: guys are trying to kill Piis. His people make him 185 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: take his cloak off. He's like, dude, we love you, 186 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: but you're gonna die. Please, please, When your own troops 187 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: love you so much, that like, bro, come on, let's 188 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: be a little safe here. That's love, people, that's love. 189 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: And he got himself caught in the street of our Streets, 190 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: of our ghosts, Age of forty six, and finally he 191 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: orders a retreat. He's like, men, we gotta get out 192 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: of town. Pack it up and pack it in. Let's 193 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: get out of this city. They start heading towards the 194 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: city gates. Only there's a problem. Pieris had brought his 195 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: elephants with him into the city. One of those elephants 196 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: was standing in the city gates panicking and nobody could 197 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: get through. And now both sets of soldiers are there 198 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: hacking away at each other, and Paris, because he's well, 199 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: he's Piis dives in, starts killing people and eventually takes 200 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: a spear threw the breastplate into his chest, turns to 201 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: see who got him, and it's a teenage peasant boy 202 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: with a spear in his hand who was just defending 203 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: his city, and piis still very much alive, gets ready 204 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: to kill said boy. When the boy's mother leans out 205 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: her window, takes a big, heavy ceramic tire or tile 206 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: and throws it down from the second story hits piis 207 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: in the back of the neck, shattering his vertebrae, paralyzing him. 208 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: On the spot here has falls down dead. That story 209 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: has always bummed me out for the same reason the 210 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Alexander story bummed me out. You have this amazing general 211 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: doing this and that, and he's taking on the Romans 212 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: when he has no business beating him, and he's winning, 213 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: and he's got war elephants, and he's amazing, and he's 214 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: killed by a woman with a ceramic tile. I can't 215 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: believe what we're seeing right now. In the United States 216 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: of America, job's numbers are out. You remember the three 217 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: point two million unemployment that was called in last week, 218 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: and everybody acknowledges the three point two million is light, 219 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: and I mean extremely light for what it really was. 220 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: It shattered every record. The previous record was seven hundred 221 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: thousand and change. I believe three point two million shattered 222 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: every record. It was also light because the unemployment lines 223 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: and all the states, the phone lines were full of 224 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: people could not get through. I heard those stories by 225 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: the thousands, plus the self employed people who couldn't declare, 226 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. The numbers what was way 227 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: higher than that. Numbers come out today six point six million, 228 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: more than double. I don't know how to put this 229 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: to you, that that number gets worse. Did you know 230 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: that it took until the second year of the Great 231 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Depression to get to nine percent unemployment? Do you know 232 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: we just hit that number on April second. We're at 233 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: nine percent unemployment six point six this week does not 234 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: turn into one or two next week. Next week it's ten, 235 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: then it's fifteen. You want to talk about exponential growth. 236 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: I understand there is a virus, a deadly virus. I'm 237 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: not discounting it at all. We are about to see 238 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: deadly in this country. Deadly. That's what a great depression is. Deadly. 239 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: We have suicide rates spiking all across the nation. Knoxville 240 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: a ten percent increase already in suicides by April second. 241 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: That's not talking about the drug addiction that's about to 242 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: go through the roof. Alcohol sales are up fifty five 243 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: percent in America. Spousal abuse as people are desperate and 244 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: trapped at home, child abuse. You think that's bad? Oh 245 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: oh wait, I have a couple others. Your jaw's going 246 00:19:22,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: to drop. Well, we know what that music means. That 247 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: means the one, the only. My buddy, Sean Parnell joins 248 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: US Afghanistan vet or, author of some really sweet books, 249 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: and running for Congress against the Democrat in a swing district. 250 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: Keep that in mind, people, Sean Parnell, Sean buddy, there 251 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: are plenty of times where I enjoy being right. Six 252 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: point six million people being out of work today after 253 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: three point two million last week is not one of 254 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: those times. My brother. Yeah, I know, I mean, you've 255 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: you've been screaming from the rooftops for a long time 256 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: about this. I mean, and and you know I think 257 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: that you know, you know where I fall on this. 258 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: I don't think we should throw throw caution to the 259 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: win with the virus. We should take it seriously. But 260 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: you know, our pandemic response I think needs to be 261 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: more surgical. I think the President was on the right 262 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: track when he was looking at designating you know, high 263 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: risk areas versus low risk areas and sort of sending 264 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: people back to work slowly to get the economy going again. 265 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the only way a shut down works and 266 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: social distancing like this work is if it's short term 267 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: and in the goal then is to keep as many 268 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: of these businesses open and pay the rent to keep 269 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: the lights on, and maybe they have to furlough employees 270 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: for a short time. But once this passes, they can 271 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: hit the ground running, pick up where they left off, 272 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: and rehire all those people. But the longer this goes on, 273 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: the more difficult that becomes. And you know, save if 274 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: restaurants or retail change shutter and close their doors forever, 275 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: those people who were laid off and who are furloughed 276 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: aren't going to be able to go right back to work. 277 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: That's my big fear is that this can't the government 278 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: can't print enough money to keep this economy going. Uh. 279 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: It's it's it's not a pragmatic solution, because even the 280 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: most extreme measures that we take without a vaccine aren't 281 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: it will be minimally effective over the long term. You 282 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: see my point. We could be facing a second epidemic 283 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: here in America in November and December, only this time 284 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: on far weaker economic footing, and that's really what concerns me. 285 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: And we can't shut down the country for twelve to 286 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: eighteen months, which which is that that's the time they 287 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: think it's going to take for us to develop a vaccine. 288 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: So we need a more curgical response, and we need 289 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: it soon. Sean, this is my problem. And I guess 290 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: I am not bagging on doctor Fallacy, doctor Burkes, although 291 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: I've had a huge issue with a couple of things 292 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: they've said. I'm not bagging on these people are acting 293 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: like their radiots or some kind of deep state plants, 294 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: or I'm not saying any of that. My problem is this, Yes, 295 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: we have these two docs. They're telling us how to 296 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: kill a virus. That's telling us how to kill a virus. Yes, 297 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: they should be in the room, they should give advice, 298 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: we should listen, but they can't all of a sudden 299 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: run America. America is not a virus. We cannot become 300 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: wholly focused on only the virus because we're going to 301 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: kill the rest of us. And that's what we're doing. 302 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: We're murdering the country for our virus. Yeah, it's it's um. 303 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: That's why presidential leadership is so important. And I think too, 304 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: I think I think in large part the President thus 305 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: far has done a good job. But I think he recognizes, 306 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: you remember, he was saying for a time the cure 307 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: can't be worse than the problem itself. So the president 308 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: recognizes that restaurants, retail stores, small businesses all over America 309 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: are in are in peril right now. And so it's 310 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: the president's job to balance the risks that put forth 311 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: and the recommendations is put forth from these doctors, but 312 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: also look at how America is handling this as a 313 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: whole and make decisions. It's it's like being it's like 314 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: being a leader in combat when lives are on the line. Uh, 315 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: leadership is about making decisions. And I think part of 316 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is is this crisis has highlighted that 317 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: many of the politicians that we elect maybe haven't been 318 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna saying all of them, right, but maybe haven't 319 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: been a leader in crisis when lives are on the line. 320 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make here, Jesse is that 321 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: there's no path forward right now, in the midst of 322 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: this crisis that will be without risk, right, And so 323 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: I think Americans need to recognize that as we move 324 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: forward and try to balance the health of all Americans 325 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: with the health of our economy, because if our economy 326 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: crashes and these small businesses closed, right, and if they 327 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: close forever, the Americans that were furloughed or laid off 328 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: won't be able to go back to work when this 329 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: storm passes. Right. The good news is is that if 330 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: this shutdown is short, I think we will be able 331 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: to pick up where we left off because the fundamentals 332 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: of this economy was the best ever in American history. 333 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: I think you know, if you look at the Great Recessions, 334 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: the fundamentals of that economy was poor. There was a 335 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: housing crisis. We had to rebuild certain sectors of the economy, 336 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: and that took time. It took years. So in this case, 337 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about months, not years, precisely because Donald Trump's 338 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: economy was so strong. But if this shutdown goes on 339 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: too long, my concern is restaurant or small businesses closed 340 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: and people can't go back to work. Sean, I feel 341 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: like maybe military people view this a little differently. But 342 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, although I'm relatively positive this 343 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: is the case. I had plenty of people who were 344 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: high ranking officers heavy and made the officer types, but 345 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: officers with a lot of brass on their caller who 346 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: were absolute utter morons. Now I had several that were amazing, 347 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: but I had several that were utter morons. And I 348 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: feel like that has given me, and I'm sure you 349 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: an ability to not I don't see a doctor and 350 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: a lab code and automatically think, man, that guy is 351 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: probably a genius. I bet he knows it all. Now, 352 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: I feel like he has a lot of education. But 353 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: you go ahead and tell me why I should view 354 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: you as being an expert. And my issue with shut 355 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: down the country is twofold. One, it's disastrous for the economy. Two, 356 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: it's not even realistic. People are not going to do 357 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: that in a country of three hundred and fifty million people. 358 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: It's not realistic. So how was it ever considered? Sean? 359 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm as well order you to go grow wings and 360 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: jump off the roof and fly. Yeah, it's that. This 361 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about about. A draconian lockdown without 362 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: a vaccine is going to be minimally effective right without 363 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: I mean because no matter how long, like we could 364 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: lock down this country for four months, right and without 365 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: a vaccine, the virus will not be eradicated. So I 366 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: think the whole point of the shutdown was to be 367 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: short term to buy our healthcare system time. Right. So 368 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: if it's me making the decisions, you know, I'm looking 369 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: at the most effective affected areas, and I'm mobilizing the 370 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: National Guard to build additional field hospitals, and you know, 371 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: get let's get charities into those areas to build up 372 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: additional field hospitals, get more beds, to make sure our 373 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: healthcare system has a little bit more resiliency, um. And 374 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: I think the President's doing that um. But at the 375 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: same time, our response needs to be more balanced. We 376 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: can't simply just say we're going to shut down in perpetuity. 377 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: And this leads me to something else, like when we 378 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: see this through, when when we put out this fire, 379 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: we have got the whole China accountable for what they've 380 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: done with the virus that they've perpetrated on the world China. 381 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: If it's up to me, we've got to bring all 382 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: of our medical device manufacturing and all of our antibiotic 383 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: production and medicine production back home, all of it, one 384 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: hundred percent of it. And we need to offer tax 385 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: incentives to companies like Apple to come back home to America. China. 386 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: How do we hold China accountable? By the way, sorry 387 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: to interrupt, I mean, how do we do? What does 388 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: that look like? Man? How do we hold them accountable? Well, 389 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: we need to get all our like like I just said, 390 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: we want to bring our supply chain home. That's the 391 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: first step, right. The second step is forcing to pay 392 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: some sort of financial reparations to America and the rest 393 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: of the world that we're devastated by this virus. And 394 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: it starts with canceling our debt. China holds north of 395 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of American debt all that needs to 396 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: be canceled. And because this is costing, this is costing 397 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: America trillions of dollars in economic damage. And so the 398 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: first step is, let's cancel our debt and let's pay 399 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: reparations to the rest of the world. Because it's the 400 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: fact China unleash this plague. Here's something that also kills 401 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: there's something else that drives me crazy. While Democrats were 402 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: focused on impeachment and I'm not even trying to politically 403 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 1: snipe here. While Nancy Pelosi was passing on impeachment pens, 404 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: President Trump was forming a coronavirus task force. On January fifteenth, 405 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: when the virus, the first case of coronavirus was here 406 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: in this country, impeachment managers were being appointed on the Democrats. 407 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: So you think this was the cost of a lawless impeachment? 408 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: Do you think that it might have distracted us from 409 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: protecting Americans? You see the cost of poor leadership, right? 410 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: Do you know it's so important we elect leaders are 411 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: not politicians. It's so funny because you never yeah, I mean, 412 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, you can get mad about the impeachment stuff 413 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: when it was going on, and I know you were, 414 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: and I was, but you don't. You don't even realize 415 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: there's extra cost to it that you can't see at 416 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: the time. And you're right, and now we do see it. 417 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: While you remember, there's a video of them marching their 418 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: somber impeachment documents New Capital like a bunch of stooges. 419 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: And now we're all looking and we're like, wow, while 420 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: this virus was spreading, that's what you were doing yeah, 421 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: and now you have Adam Schiff out there talking about 422 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: forming a nine to eleven styleth commission to investigate President 423 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: Trump's response to the virus. And it's like, you know, 424 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: my god. You know, the president band travel from China 425 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: on January thirty first. I was among some of the 426 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: first people, with Tom Cotton, who actually called for a 427 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: band from travel to China before the president did. But 428 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: my god, when the President made that decision, he was 429 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: called xenophobic and racist. And you know, there are super cuts, 430 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: the jump cuts on the Internet and on Twitter of 431 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: all these Democrats talking about how it's racist and that 432 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: they should go out to they should go to a 433 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: Chinese surroundtation. He needed now that this was about racism. 434 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: It was about keeping the country safe. It was about 435 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: identifying a viral plague and making sure that we keep 436 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: our country safe from it, you know. And so this 437 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: is why this is, this is why it's so important 438 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: to take the house back. This is why race is 439 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: like mine matter, because if we don't take to the 440 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: house back right, then not only will we probably see 441 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: impeachment two point zero, but the next four years of 442 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: this president's administration will be plagued by nothing but investigations 443 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: into his response here. And I think most Americans know 444 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: the President's approval ratings in an all time high. I 445 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: think Dallas at sixty three percent, which is just unbelievable. 446 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: Most Americans know that a viral plague created by China 447 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: or that started in China that came here is not 448 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: the president's fall. Do we want four more years of 449 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: nonprop investigations than the president? Maybe even impeachment two point 450 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: zero can give you. Yeahan, Sean for Congress at CEO, 451 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: appreciate you, my man, Sean Parnell, go knock him dad brother, 452 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: all right, thanks broad Sallow Hero follow hero Hero every 453 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: time blows there is.

As my good friend Michael Berry says, 464 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: I know. I know all that, but I will always 465 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: give it to you straight.

Yes, I'm hammering this topic, but I'm 468 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: trying to branch off and talk about other stuff and 469 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: tell little stories and talk about food and stuff, just 470 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: because I know for a fact that you are being 471 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: barraged with bad news all day long. It's all over 472 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: the TV, it's all over the radio. Maybe you have 473 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: bad news in your life right now. I know there's 474 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: a chance you're worried about your job, you're worried about 475 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: your income, you're worried about your spouses, incomes, your kids. 476 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: I get that.

But 561 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: for those who aren't. Let me just be really frank here. 562 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: I understand guns may make you uncomfortable. I understand you 563 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: may have children in your home, and that's a major concern. 564 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: Now what happens if he gets a hold of you. 565 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: It is not an option anymore for you to have 566 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:45,959 Speaker 1: a weapon in your home. You must you must. You 567 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: find a way to get a weapon or two in 568 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,399 Speaker 1: your hands, in the hands of your wife, figure out 569 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: take a class, take a virtual class if you have 570 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 1: to figure out how to use it safely. Remember safety 571 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: first at all times. Safety first at all times. Treat 572 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: every weapon as if it were loaded. Never point a 573 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: weapon is at anything you don't intend to shoot. Know 574 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: your target and consider its background. That's also an important thing. 575 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: Be careful those of you in a home pulling out 576 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: the street howitzer to potentially shoot a burglar in the hallway, 577 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: because his soft, pudgy body is not going to stop 578 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: that round completely if you choose the wrong one, and 579 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: those plaster walls may not stop it either. I'm just 580 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: telling you consider these things. Get a weapon, figure out 581 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: how to use it safely, and figure out how to 582 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: be deadly with it. Now. I know you might be 583 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: saying yessy, I care they close the gun range. Do 584 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: you have any idea the gains you can make with 585 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: your weapon when you have unloaded it and ensured it's 586 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: unloaded about twenty thousand times, and you practice with it 587 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: in front of a mirror, practice with it against a 588 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: dot in the wall, squeezing that trigger, making sure that 589 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: your sites don't go off of that spot. Is it perfect? Oh, 590 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: it's not perfect, but you can make sure you are 591 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: functional with the weapon. People. We have trained engineers trying 592 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: to drive their trains into medical ships. It's April second. 593 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: We had three point two million unemployment claims last week. 594 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: Let's be kind and assume that was nine or ten million, 595 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: and that's probably closer to what it was. We doubled 596 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: that number this week. That number is going up again. 597 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: The following week. That number goes up again, the following week. 598 00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: That number goes up again the following week. As businesses 599 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: run out of capital, these numbers are going to skyrockets. 600 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,479 Speaker 1: That growth doesn't slow. Do you want to talk about 601 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: exponential growth of a virus. That's what exponential growth looks like. 602 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: People are about to be desperate, and not everybody is 603 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: as sane as you and no, this isn't you know, 604 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: just in the bad neighborhoods, that upper middle class, white 605 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 1: neighborhood you reside in. Everybody's got everyone's got a Yukon 606 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: and a beamer in a driveway, white picket fences. Kids 607 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: have a nice bike. I think John works in banking. Yes, 608 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: John works in banking. I should say he worked in banking. 609 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: You see, they were way overleveraged. John had just bought 610 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: a boat and they had got a lake house just 611 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: last year, so they overspent a little because John was 612 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: actually due to get promoted, get a big pay raise 613 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: here in a couple of months. You see, John's a 614 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 1: vice president at a bank. He's he makes three hundred 615 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars a year. Now right now they're 616 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: spending five hundred a year and that's really getting desperate 617 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: and the kids are getting ready to go to school. 618 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: But all that's fine because he's actually scheduled to get 619 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: this promotion, said John's John's doing fine. Everything's fine, and 620 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: then wham, coronavirus hits and now instead of getting promoted, 621 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: John just got sat down by the boss and told 622 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: we have to let you go, and we can't afford 623 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,720 Speaker 1: to give you a severance package. So now he's spending 624 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars a year bringing in zero dollars 625 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 1: a year. On top of that, John, you know, had 626 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:48,919 Speaker 1: maybe some substance abuse problems beforehand. Now John maybe hitting 627 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 1: the peels a little bit too hard. Now John's desperate. 628 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: Now John's wife screaming at him. Now the kids are asking, Dad, 629 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: I can't they just canceled by? Are you still paying myself? 630 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: And now John's maybe thinking about hurting himself, maybe thinking 631 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:20,439 Speaker 1: about hurting someone else too. I'm sorry if that's too 632 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: frank for you, but you know that's coming right. We 633 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: are firing people by the millions. The desperation that comes 634 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: with that cannot fully be understood. Have you never been 635 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,240 Speaker 1: out of work? If you haven't been, let me explain 636 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: something to you. You cannot imagine that feeling. You cannot 637 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: imagine the feeling of the business, of the bills still 638 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: coming at you like a tidal wave, of your wife 639 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: looking at you like please do something. Of your kids 640 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: saying Daddy, do we have to eat kraftback and cheese again? 641 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: And you looking them in the eyes and wanting to 642 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: tell them, son, be happy. We're eating kraftmac and cheese. 643 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: Enjoy those last few boxes. That creates a desperation in people. 644 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: You don't want to imagine. And look, that's fine for 645 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: the majority, For ninety nine people out of one hundred, 646 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: they'll find a way to get through it. They'll pray 647 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: through it, they'll find charity, they'll find family, they'll find friends, 648 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: they'll get through it. But all you need is one 649 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 1: person out of a hundred. He's not gonna be fine. 650 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: He's going to get in his train one day and 651 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 1: try to steer it into a ship. He's gonna make 652 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: phone calls to doctor Foucy and threaten him. He's going 653 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: to look around, maybe at the place he used to work, 654 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: maybe at the convenience store up the road, maybe at 655 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,399 Speaker 1: the bank that just told him he's about to get 656 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,959 Speaker 1: kicked out of his house, and he's going to start 657 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:18,359 Speaker 1: considering some desperate measures, some irrational, disgusting, violent measures. So 658 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:25,479 Speaker 1: allow me to circle back to what I just told you. 659 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: You don't have an option anymore. So I'm just uncomfortable 660 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: around guns. Get comfortable around guns. The time is now, 661 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 1: in Demons Green, that we're just done. I got to 662 00:47:51,080 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: got to gotta digg its foe when de man Chris, 663 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: you have a sixth sense to you, Chris sends me 664 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 1: these You know what, Chris is amature? This Laguna Beach 665 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: City Council meeting is bombed on Zoom with with apparently 666 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: some dirty pictures or something. The incident occurred at five 667 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: thirty pm during the Tuesday, March thirty first meeting, just 668 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: as city Manager John Petig the game detailing coronavirus related 669 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 1: closures at the beaches, parks and trailheads planned for the 670 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,280 Speaker 1: month of April. The meeting was the city's first virtual 671 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: meeting since the coronavirus quarantine. First to appear, but so 672 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: you understand, I understand some people are a little confused 673 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 1: on zoom. Let me explain this before I go on zoom. 674 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: It's on your computer. And again, I'm not a tech 675 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: wizard here, although I'm super smart, Chris. Zoom is a 676 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: place where ten of you can sit down in front 677 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: of your computers from your homes and your face will 678 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 1: be up. You know, you'll see everyone's face. And so 679 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: you were having a virtual face to face meeting. That's 680 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: zoom right. First to appear were dirty sketches with profane 681 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: words written on our whiteboard on the feature that allowed 682 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: users to annotate on a shared screen. Laguna Beach Mayor 683 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: Bob Whalen immediately asked Gavin cure In, the city's director 684 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: of Administrative Services, who was hosting the meeting, to disconnect. 685 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 1: Can you put a stop to that? Can you turn 686 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: off that screen? Gavin Waylan asked, it appears someone is 687 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: posting an inappropriate message. It's very disappointing someone would do 688 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: something like that. Sorry, I can't stopping I can't stop 689 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: picturing it. About five minutes later, when everyone except for 690 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 1: city Councilman Peter Blake Kieran and city Clerk Lazette shell Walker, 691 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: who were physically present in the council chambers were dialed in, 692 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 1: the meeting continued, only to be interrupted again five minutes 693 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 1: later by a live you know, a live scene of 694 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: people being affectionate. Sorry, I know that's inappropriate. I know 695 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: that's inappropriate. I do. I know that's inappropriate. But that's funny, man, 696 00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: that's very funny. There was a video floating around gosh 697 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: a few days ago where people were on one of 698 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 1: these zoom calls and people people get confused when they're 699 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 1: on a conference call, and when they're on a zoom call, 700 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,359 Speaker 1: and what happens is this is what happens. We all 701 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: know this because it's happened to us. I know it's 702 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: happened to you because it's happened to me. You're on 703 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,399 Speaker 1: a conference call or in this case, a virtual zoom call, 704 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,919 Speaker 1: and you're not really paying attention because you shouldn't be there. 705 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Let's just be honest about how these 706 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: meetings work, especially now when everything's virtual. I mean, the 707 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: whole country is locked down. Wow, we did what I'll 708 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 1: toid of us on a conference call tomorrow. And you're 709 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 1: thinking to yourself, dude, no please, because the truth of 710 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 1: the matter is this nine percent of conference calls, this 711 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: is prior to the shutdown, but ninety percent of conference 712 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: calls or you know, corporate meetings should not even happen. 713 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: People are in general scared to lead. They want to 714 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 1: share responsibility, they want to make sure everybody feels good. 715 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: And so you'll get a manager in charge of ten 716 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 1: people and he'll he'll say, all right, wait, we need 717 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 1: a corporate meeting, we need a conference call. When no, 718 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: you don't. You need to send out an email and 719 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: say this is what we're doing. Period, let me know 720 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 1: if you have any questions. So ninety percent of these 721 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: meetings should never happen. They just shouldn't. And at least 722 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,800 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the people invited to these meetings and 723 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,879 Speaker 1: conference calls now have no business being there. But we've 724 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: become way too inclusive as a society. That's become like 725 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 1: a word everyone wants to be. Oh, I'm very inclusive. Well, 726 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: we have to make sure we include Tammy from accounting 727 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 1: because we didn't include her last time and she complained 728 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: to HR that she was very offended. Can Tammy from accounting? 729 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,919 Speaker 1: Can shut up or go find a new job. Well, look, 730 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 1: we have to invite Bill. I mean Bill. Bill has 731 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: been been with the company for thirty years and he 732 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: really likes to be invited to these things. I don't 733 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: give a crap what Bill likes. Bill can go powder quit. 734 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: I know that sounds mean, that sounds harsh, but look 735 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 1: that's me, and I'm right. I am the same way 736 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 1: I've been right about this virus response the whole time. 737 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,919 Speaker 1: I'm right about this too, and everyone knows it. Most 738 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: of these people should not be there. Oh why wasn't 739 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 1: I invited because you're not important enough for the decision making. 740 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: We'll let you know. I know that's mean, but again, 741 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 1: you can't say that these day. Well, we have to 742 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 1: make sure we include everybody. No, you don't. Your board meetings, 743 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 1: you're a big corporate meeting should probably be like one person, 744 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 1: maybe too, Hey, John, what do you think about this? 745 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 1: You agree? Okay, we should go a different All right, 746 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,279 Speaker 1: we'll go that route. Sounds good. Send out an email 747 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: to everybody. Done, corporate meetings done. So what happens now 748 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: is everybody's working from home. And working from home has 749 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: huge advantages. I'm glad we live in a society where 750 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: people were able to do this. I know it's a 751 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: big help to a lot of women who would like 752 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: to take care of the kids and get some stuff 753 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 1: done at home. This is fine whatever, I'm glad we 754 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: can work from home. But it also creates a more 755 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: relaxed environment. There's a reason that militaries wear uniforms. I mean, 756 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of reasons to it, but a 757 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 1: lot of it is for the person wearing the uniform. 758 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 1: You put on the uniform and you feel more buttoned up, 759 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: more ready to go. This is okay, It puts you 760 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 1: in game mode. You know, you ever played football, you 761 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: ever played basketball, You put on the Uni form, all 762 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're ready to roll. You remember the 763 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: story I told about Paris at the very beginning King 764 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,240 Speaker 1: Pieris when he was taking on the Romans. Remember, Romans 765 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: were I mean thought to be barbarians by the Greeks 766 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: at this time. They weren't the fancy white marble Romans yet. 767 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: And Paris is gearing up for war against the Romans, 768 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 1: and the Romans had these advanced legions and military tactics. 769 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,879 Speaker 1: Impius looks across at the Romans with their camps, because 770 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 1: the Romans were emphatic about having their camps lined up right. 771 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 1: Everybody was in uniform, weapons were all set up right, 772 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, super super discipline. And this is what he said, quote, 773 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,479 Speaker 1: these may be barbarians, but there is nothing barbarous about 774 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 1: their discipline. We will see in action what it's worth. 775 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,720 Speaker 1: It meant something to him. This great general looks across. 776 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: Everyone's in uniform, everything's lined up, Okay. They take this serious. 777 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: Same thing at working from home versus at the office. 778 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: You're at the office, okay, I've got on my business 779 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 1: slacks today, I've got my button up shirt. I mean, 780 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: so people get home and they're more chilled out. You 781 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 1: can't help it, you're more chilled out. I mean, yes, 782 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on the conference call, but I can 783 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 1: make some scrambled eggs while I do that. If I 784 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: just put it on mute, I can do all that, right. 785 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 1: Only only this one girl. She was on one of 786 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: the zoom calls again, one of the video calls, and 787 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: maybe got a little a little too relaxed while everybody 788 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: was on the call. While she was you know, had 789 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,240 Speaker 1: the camera facing her. She walks into the bathroom, sets 790 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: the phone down away from the john to give you 791 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 1: a nice wide view, drops her drawers, plops down on 792 00:56:54,719 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 1: the toilet, and I don't mean for like half a second, Chris, 793 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking. I'll have to look again. It was like 794 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 1: thirty seconds, bro, And everybody else on the call starts 795 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: to pick up on it because they can see what's 796 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: going on. And now they're all laughing and they're trying 797 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: to hold back the laughter and they're just there. And 798 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 1: finally and you can see, you know, the moment's gonna come. 799 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 1: The girl on the john freaks and like leaps off 800 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: the john and grabs the phone and heads the call. 801 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 1: I've never left so freaking heart it all my life 802 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 1: because because you know that person and that moment wants 803 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: to die, wants to actually physically die. If you could 804 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: handle a weapon at that moment, she would just end 805 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 1: it all. That's that kind of devastation. And I said it, 806 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: it's so funny because now I'm not exactly one of 807 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: these people. I know. I know you may find this shocking. 808 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly one of these people who you know, 809 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: was dreadfully scared of what other people think. Dude, I 810 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: would be very embarrassed. I mean, that's that's embarrassing for 811 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: a woman like I said that video to my wife 812 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 1: and she kind of half laughed, and then she said, 813 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I would quit that day. And I 814 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: was like, no, you wouldn't, And she said no, I 815 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't even my job right now that I love, I 816 00:58:25,360 --> 00:59:28,919 Speaker 1: would never go back again. As much as I love 817 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 1: to focus only on myself, Chris talk about only myself, 818 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 1: I realized a lot of people were saying, wow, Jesse, 819 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: you were right all along, You were right all along. 820 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: Oh I was not alone, Ladies and gentlemen, my guest 821 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 1: now as a friend of mine. He's a national security expert. 822 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: His name is Jordan shackt L and he has been 823 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 1: all over our illiterate response to this virus from the 824 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: very beginning. He's been all over the projections, which have 825 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: been he's been all over the economic devastation, which has 826 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 1: been crap. And Jordan six point six million new unemployment 827 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: claims this morning, but it's just a pause, right, Hey, Jesse, 828 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. And I'm also hearing that 829 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: pretty much every state's unemployment system is on the verge 830 01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 1: of crashing or has already stopped working because there's so 831 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: much of a backlox. But ten million, we both know 832 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: that's that's not even close to the real number at 833 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: this point. It's not I tried to explain that at 834 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 1: the very beginning of the show, because I was hearing 835 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 1: the same things. I mean, I know personally companies who 836 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 1: have said only twenty percent of their employees who qualify. 837 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 1: I've already filed. People were trying to call. I know 838 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 1: a guy who waited on hold for three hours in 839 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: Ohio and then finally got hung up on I know 840 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: it was Cuomo himself, who said they had something like 841 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand calls when the previous record or no, 842 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: it was one million, one point two million. All he 843 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 1: had in the previous record was fifty thousand. The systems 844 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 1: simply are notwithstanding it. The numbers way over ten million. Way. Yeah, 845 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: it's just it's just crazy. I mean, I just kind 846 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: of was talking about this on social media that a 847 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: month ago the government officials were talking about social distancing, 848 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, social distancing means you're 849 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: lockdown in your house until we say it's okay to leave, 850 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,919 Speaker 1: and the timelines keep extanding, but the language remains the same. 851 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's just like so incredibly orwellian what we're 852 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 1: dealing with right now. And it seems that Americans don't 853 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: have a vote, we don't have a voice, and we're 854 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 1: just listening to our bureaucrats that are advising us what 855 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: to do. And doctor Anthony Fauci has now called this 856 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: inconvenience quote quote unquote inconvenience many times, and these people 857 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: just don't get it, and people need to speak up 858 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: because it's getting it's getting absurd, and you know, our 859 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,440 Speaker 1: nation is coming closer and closer to the brink of 860 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 1: economic collapse much sooner than we think. And you were 861 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 1: one of the first people to call us out, Doctor Fauci. 862 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I'm doctor Burks. You know, I'm 863 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 1: not a doctor. I'm not one of these people. I 864 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 1: don't I don't know their education. I'm sure it's hi. 865 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure that you know all the Ivy League schools 866 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: and things like that. But Jordan, I'm looking at these numbers. 867 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, doctor Burks gets up to the podium two 868 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: days ago and says, well, if we don't do anything, 869 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: two million people were dead. But even if we do, 870 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna have one hundred to two hundred thousand dead Americans. Now, Jordan, 871 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: maybe that's the case, maybe that's the truth, but I'm 872 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: not looking at numbers anywhere close to that. Where are 873 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,400 Speaker 1: these numbers coming from? What? What are we looking at? 874 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Do they have some intail out of China? We don't 875 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: have what's going on? Yeah, So, as you know, they're 876 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: looking at two models right now, and both of those 877 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 1: models are regularly revised basically daily, if not hourly. Because 878 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 1: the projections that they said at the beginning of the week, 879 01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: the beginning of the month they're always wrong, so they're 880 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 1: just they're just guessing. And this, this two million number 881 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 1: was came from the first white white paper projection from 882 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: a college out of London that and the scientists behind 883 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: that has already revised his projections downwards I think twenty 884 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 1: times for his London model. So if you go down 885 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: twenty times from the Imperial College US model, you know, 886 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,360 Speaker 1: it's the same ballpark that we're dealing with. And you know, 887 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: it's really frustrating because people will tell me, like, oh, 888 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Trump setting himself up for a win, and like, you know, 889 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,439 Speaker 1: politics is the last thing I want to worry about 890 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 1: right now. Like, we need to focus on giving the 891 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: American people realistic numbers so they can have some skin 892 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: in the game about this decision that we're making to 893 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 1: lock ourselves down indefinitely. How does this catch on? Jordan? 894 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 1: And honestly, this is in You and I may disagree 895 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 1: on this, although I doubt we do. I found the 896 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: entire concept of locking down an entire nation to be 897 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 1: frankly the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. 898 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe it was widely accepted. I don't care 899 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: how many doctors agree that was the case. That has 900 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 1: never been done in the history of the world. They 901 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: have quarantined buildings, they've quarantined areas. I know, I believe 902 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 1: it was in Marseille. They actually built a wall around 903 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: the actual city one time when they had a plague. 904 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: But you cannot lock down an entire country. It's not 905 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,560 Speaker 1: even possible. We see we've seen people screaming about everybody 906 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 1: while they're not social distancing. You can't lock down three 907 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million people. It's not even possible. Why 908 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: bother with it. This is what really got my attention 909 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 1: early on because you know, a lot of us you know, 910 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm mostly a foreign policy national security guy looking at 911 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: the big picture events, and I had to do some 912 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,439 Speaker 1: preliminary research to make sure that this was indeed the case. 913 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: And I was looking at the CDC, you know, all 914 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 1: these international health organizations that have dealt with pandemics in 915 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 1: the past, and none of them have recommended lockdown. You know, 916 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 1: this is a giant social experiment, and the government is 917 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 1: is not putting it that way, but that's realistic. We 918 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 1: are in completely uncharted waters. The scientists that are recommending 919 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: this have no idea what the end result is going 920 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 1: to be. And that's why it's so important that people 921 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: with common sense, who tend not to be politicians and 922 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 1: government bureaucrats raise alarmed about this because they don't see 923 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,480 Speaker 1: that in the cure is becoming far, far worse than 924 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the disease. How how does Donald Trump not see it? 925 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I need someone to walk me through that, because everybody 926 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: knows I have been a Trump fan, still going to 927 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: vote for Trump again, honestly vote voted for him last time. 928 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:46,880 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump, he's not bucking what they're saying. He's 929 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,040 Speaker 1: going along with what they're saying. And I'm not pretending 930 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: to understand the stress with having a doctor come in 931 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 1: your office and tell you you have to lock down 932 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 1: the country or two million people were about to die. 933 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 1: I understand that's a decision I wouldn't wish on anybody. 934 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: But now at this point, or you have got to 935 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 1: look at these numbers if you're the president and be like, 936 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 1: the juice is not worth the squeeze here? Right? Yeah? 937 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I think he was caught up a 938 01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 1: little bit in the the situation in Queens, in his hometown, 939 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: literally the worst place for COVID nineteen in America. Where 940 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're struggling exponentially worse than any other place. 941 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: And I think the President was really caught up in that, 942 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 1: and that's kind of where you saw his narrative change 943 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 1: from you the sure can't be worse than the disease, 944 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 1: to kind of handing delegating the political our entire society 945 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 1: to these two physicians scientists. But I really do hope 946 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 1: he takes the reins back soon, because you know, we're 947 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 1: a we're on a slide right now, and eventually you 948 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,320 Speaker 1: can't get off that path to a great suppression and 949 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: it's coming much to than people think. And you know, 950 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 1: you were one of the first people to point this out. 951 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 1: I remember going through your your social media pro posts 952 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: and you said, you know, even these experts dire predictions, 953 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 1: double that, triple that, And that's exactly what's happening, because 954 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,280 Speaker 1: it's so unprecedented. You can't even calculate for locking down 955 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 1: entire society. It's so tough to put projections on that 956 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: because of how outrageous the policy is. I don't want 957 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: to be right, and I don't understand how I can 958 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 1: see it and all these big brains cannot see it. 959 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 1: How can you see it, and all these all these 960 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 1: all these fancy schmancy people walking into Congress, walking into 961 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,120 Speaker 1: governor's mansions, walking into mayor mansions. How can they not 962 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,439 Speaker 1: see that this is national suicide. That's what's blowing me away. Man. Okay, 963 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 1: they have new hard numbers right now, and I'm telling 964 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: you I don't want to be dooming gloom, but I 965 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: feel like we're already on that path where they can't. 966 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,920 Speaker 1: They couldn't reverse it now if they wanted to, and 967 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,760 Speaker 1: we did it to ourselves, we only got about thirty seconds. Yeah, 968 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,320 Speaker 1: I just want to kind of give people some level 969 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: of awareness about how DC operates. These people are not 970 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 1: any more intelligent than you guys. In fact, there there, 971 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, street smart level is probably hundreds of times 972 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 1: lower than yours. So we should not be relying on 973 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 1: bureaucrats for this whatsoever. And do not put too much 974 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,640 Speaker 1: faith into these politicians of bureaucrats because the government is 975 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 1: not here to save you. It is up to the 976 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: people to stand up for common sense and reason. And 977 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. Jordan, thank you so much. 978 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:49,040 Speaker 1: My brother come back soon. Thanks, man, could have a 979 01:08:49,240 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: big every money. Oh my god, it's bad I know 980 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 1: it's not bad. I see it fucking years. It fun. 981 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: We get our one now. Everybody knows I like to 982 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: make fun of democrats. You know that. I enjoy it, 983 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: and I realized throughout, you know, especially over the past 984 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,240 Speaker 1: ten twenty thirty years. It's a common phrase, you know, 985 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 1: liberalism is a mental disorder and stuff like that. It's look, 986 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 1: it's fun, it's funny, but maybe we should consider it. 987 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,880 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is that I saw 988 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,600 Speaker 1: this headline and I know joke. I thought it was 989 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,559 Speaker 1: the Babylon Beat. The Babylonbe is that hysterical. I highly 990 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: recommend it if you're looking for a way just to 991 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: brighten your day because it's hilarious. It's a satire website, 992 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,559 Speaker 1: and it's always satire, poking fun at poking fun at 993 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: the left, poking fun at at like mega churches and 994 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: stuff like that, because it's run by a bunch of 995 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,679 Speaker 1: hilarious like Christian comedians. They're just it is pants wedding funny. 996 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,040 Speaker 1: And I saw this headline and I thought it was 997 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 1: Babylonbie and it's not. This is real. It's one hundred 998 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 1: percent real. Deblasio, you know, mayor of New York Deblasio 999 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:38,760 Speaker 1: very concerned about anti gay evangelical group running Central Park 1000 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Coronavirus Hospital. Let me explain. Samaritan's Purse is a charity, 1001 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,320 Speaker 1: a big charity, and I mean when I say big, 1002 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 1: I mean all over the world big. They go everywhere 1003 01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 1: there is a major disaster. And unlike some other charities, 1004 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't work for Samaritans. First, they don't pay me 1005 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,639 Speaker 1: or anything like that. But unlike other major major charities, 1006 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 1: when you give to a certain cause at Samaritans first, 1007 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:14,920 Speaker 1: like let's say you did it right now, you gave 1008 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 1: to coronavirus, it actually goes to coronavirus relief. It doesn't 1009 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: go to the CEO's summer cottage in the Hamptons. It 1010 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 1: goes to coronavirus relief. It really is whatever your religious affiliation, 1011 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 1: it is a good one. It highly highly rated as 1012 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: far as their ethics goes. Because you have all these 1013 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 1: watchdog groups that look into charities now as they should. 1014 01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 1: I've always said, you can call me a cynic all 1015 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 1: you want, but I've worked within that industry. Y'all need 1016 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: to start being a lot, a lot more diligent looking 1017 01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:54,680 Speaker 1: into the groups that you give to. I got to 1018 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: know a lot of their books when I worked back 1019 01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:02,640 Speaker 1: in DC for about a year. And man, there is 1020 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: some gross scum in the nonprofit community, like you can't 1021 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: even imagine. They become gigantic slush funds, a lot of them, 1022 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:18,040 Speaker 1: and I mean big ones. They get all the head 1023 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 1: guys rich and do it. This is the grosspark because 1024 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 1: I have no problem with being rich. They do it 1025 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 1: off of your emotions. I just want to give to 1026 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:32,240 Speaker 1: hurricane relief in Haiti. Here's here's my fifty bucks. I'm 1027 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,839 Speaker 1: gonna give up. I'm gonna give up eating today and tomorrow, 1028 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 1: and forty five or or fifty bucks goes to some 1029 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,560 Speaker 1: CEO's bonus check. That's not an exaggeration. And this is 1030 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,559 Speaker 1: major ones that you would know either way. Samaritan's Purse 1031 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 1: is not one of those ones. It's run by Franklin Graham. 1032 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: That's Billy Graham's son. Surely I don't have to tell 1033 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 1: you who Billy Graham was, you godless savages, Chris, do 1034 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: you know? But even even Chris knows who Billy Billy 1035 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 1: Graham was. He'swish it's Billy Graham. Franklin Graham's son runs 1036 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,400 Speaker 1: Samaritan's purse. And what they did was because they're freaking awesome. 1037 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,880 Speaker 1: They got word that New York was going to get 1038 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 1: hammered by coronavirus, and New York has been hammered, especially 1039 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 1: areas like Queens. I mean, look, New York is a 1040 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 1: virus's heaven. It just is. It's old super system, old 1041 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,240 Speaker 1: water pipes, and it's so vertical. I try to drive 1042 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 1: that point home that people because I know so many 1043 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,400 Speaker 1: haven't been there. But I love New York City. I 1044 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 1: love it. I love the place, but it is different one. 1045 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 1: When you go there, it feels old. And I like 1046 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: old because you know, I geek out on history. It 1047 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:54,560 Speaker 1: feels very old, and it is shockingly vertical. Everything is 1048 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 1: stacked on top of everything. You will have a three 1049 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 1: or four story building with retail, retail shops, different ones 1050 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,920 Speaker 1: on every floor. Well, you can buy clothes on this floor. 1051 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: There's actually a jeweler up on the second floor. You 1052 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 1: can get your taxes done up on the fourth floor. 1053 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 1: Then on the fifth floor it's a video game arcade. 1054 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm not it's just because space is so limited. Everything 1055 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,680 Speaker 1: is on top of each other. It is heaven for 1056 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:27,519 Speaker 1: a virus and So New York is absolutely getting it 1057 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 1: between the eyes with coronavirus. Samaritan's Purse asking not for 1058 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: a dime from anybody in the government or the taxpayer, 1059 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: they get some hospital tents set up, they get hospital 1060 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:47,160 Speaker 1: personnel up there. Now obviously Samaritan's Purse, it's so, I mean, 1061 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 1: the good Samaritan. Everybody knows that story. Chris probably even 1062 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,240 Speaker 1: knows it, even though it's the New Testament. Samaritan's Purse 1063 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 1: is a Christian organization. They make no bones about it. 1064 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,519 Speaker 1: So let me see if I understand this. New York 1065 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 1: is getting so blasted by coronavirus, and they're so desperate, 1066 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,880 Speaker 1: and we've been told for days there aren't enough hospitals, 1067 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:10,840 Speaker 1: and there run enough beds, and there aren't enough anything. 1068 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: And they're seriously considering closing down a hospital tent because 1069 01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:24,720 Speaker 1: it's Christian. Y'all have lost your freaking minds. Man, all right, 1070 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:29,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna rock and roll again tomorrow and then Monday 1071 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: we go National Baby.
