1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: in my life. This thing. I had it plugged in

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: for two hours. I came back in the room and

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them.

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: me on top of what it's done from my allergies.

00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: bad eyes. He had the eyes of a killer. You

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: could see how frightening they were the frigid glare of

22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: a killer. Who's the worst American gangster to ever live? Now?

23
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, Jesse. They're all bad. Yeah,

24
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: obviously they're all bad. But the human mind tends to

25
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: do this thing, especially when it comes to bad guys,

26
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: is we lump them all together. We act like they're

27
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: all while they're all criminals. Are all the same. Oh no,

28
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: they're not all the same. I'm not endorsing anybody's lifestyle,

29
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: but let's be honest. Are there degrees in your field?

30
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: Are there levels in your field? What? What's your field?

31
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: You're in construction? You build houses? Maybe all house builders

32
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: the same? Are all the people on your home building

33
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: crew the same? Even fields with you know a lot

34
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: more higher education doctors? I know we have docts. Listen

35
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: to the show. You email me all the time. I

36
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: know you're all doctor right? Get you all in a group?

37
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: You got eight thousand years of college? Are you all

38
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the same? Or are there some really good ones? Are there?

39
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Some morons? Are there? Some lazy ones? Crimes? No different? Quote,

40
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: bad people are no different. There are degrees, and there

41
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: was a man. Unless you were a mafia nut like

42
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: I am. There was a man you probably haven't heard of,

43
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: or maybe you've vaguely heard his name, and he was

44
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: probably the worst ever. His name was Carmine Galanti. He

45
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: was born stopped me. If you've heard this before to

46
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: poor Italian immigrants in New York City, I know you're

47
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: going to find that shocking. A bit of a theme here,

48
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: he was actually born in Harlem. Now you think of

49
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: Harlem today as the black part of town, which for

50
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: the most part it is. It was not that way

51
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundreds. It was still poor, but

52
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: it was the Italian part of town for some reason.

53
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's somebody who specializes in socioeconomics out there

54
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: wherever the whatever, the newest poor racial group is, Harlem's

55
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: where they go. And Harlem was the Italian part of town. Now,

56
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: let me ask you something, and it's a question I

57
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: normally think I know the answer to. Maybe you disagree.

58
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Are bad people and good people, But we're talking about

59
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: bad people at the moment. Are bad people born or

60
00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: are they made? That whole nature versus nurture argument and

61
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: full disclosure. I am, for the most part, fully on

62
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: board with the made thing, and I'm only on board

63
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: with that because all the people I talk to you about,

64
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: especially the criminals, whenever we go cartails or drug lords

65
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: or stuff like that, as I read and as I

66
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: watch a documentary on them, and I read about them,

67
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: it is almost universal that they grow up with just

68
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: a different value system because of the environment around them.

69
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about my own life and the

70
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: values I have. Granted I've basically blown all of those,

71
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: but I was still, you know, raised with values. You

72
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: know this is right and wrong. I've taught lessons, say

73
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Mussin Moost, that you were taught don't lie, don't steal,

74
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: don't cheat. What if what if you were raised too cheat,

75
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: to gamble, to lie, to steal, to stab, to shoot.

76
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: And so many of these guys we talk about, they

77
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: weren't just you know, well they just they just born

78
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: that way. It came out shooting people. No, they were

79
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: born into world that you don't understand that I don't understand.

80
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't raised in that world, but you see it

81
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: at an early age. Except for Carmine Galante. He is

82
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: of all the people I've read up on, all the

83
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: people I've watched a documentary on, it looks like he

84
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: was born bad. It looks like he was born with

85
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: pieces of him missing that other people normally have. Their

86
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: family was by no means wealthy, but they weren't even

87
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, destin too. Sometimes you can make the argument

88
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: while they were so poor, he had to he had

89
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to drop out of school. This is the case. Lots

90
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: of time. He had to drop out of school and

91
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: then ended up, you know, getting in with some gangsters

92
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of went from there. Carmine Galante was

93
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: the gangster. You know. You always wonder, at least I do,

94
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: when you hear all those other stories about this guy.

95
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: He dropped out of school when he was when he

96
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: was sixteen, and he started running with the wrong crowd,

97
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: to which I always ask, you know, at least in

98
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: my mind, well who's the wrong crowd? Where did they

99
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: come from? Where the all? Right? Who tell me about

100
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: those guys? Carmine Galante was the wrong crowd. His parents

101
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: were not wealthy, but they had food. They still couldn't

102
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: keep a leash on their son. He was in reform school.

103
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: All his siblings were fine. By the way I should mention,

104
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Carmine Galante was in reform school by the age of ten.

105
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: By the age of ten. My eleven year old last night,

106
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: at one point in time, walked up to his mother

107
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and just kissed her on the cheek and spent the

108
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: rest of the evening sitting by himself in the office

109
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: drawing dinosaurs. He's the artsy type. That's an eleven year

110
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: old boy. That's a eleven year old boy. Spent some

111
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: time jumping on the trampoline, wrestled with me a little bit,

112
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, an eleven year old boy. By the time

113
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Carmine Galante was a year younger, he was in reform

114
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: school at the age of fifteen fifteen. What were you

115
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: doing at fifteen? When I was fifteen, I would run

116
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood with my buddies, maybe cause a very

117
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: little bit of trouble, nothing major, go back to the house,

118
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: drink mountain dew, eat pizza, play Mario karts. A fifteen

119
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: year old. Maybe maybe dude, shoot some hoops. It's fifteen,

120
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: he's fifteen. Carmine Galante dropped out of school at the

121
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: age of fifteen and started his own street gang at

122
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: the age of fifteen. He didn't drop out and join one.

123
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: He dropped out and said I'm gonna start my own

124
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm the worst one around here. Oh did I mention?

125
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: At the age of fifteen, he beat the crap out

126
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: of an adult male and was not sent to juvenile

127
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: He was sent to prison for two and a half years.

128
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a fifteen year old boy getting sent

129
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: to prison and what would happen to him there? Carmine

130
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: Galante did fine. Carmine Galante, at the age of fifteen,

131
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: walks into prison and says, this isn't bad. Actually, finally

132
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: I am home. These are my people. Eventually gets out

133
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: and well, he's a disaster, he's evil. Are we allowed

134
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: to say that about people, Chris, I mean anybody outside

135
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: of the Nazis. We don't usually use that word. But

136
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: he's fifteen, Okay, you just got out of prison. I

137
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: think he was seventeen and a half, maybe eighteen. It

138
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: gets worse from here, I'm not kidding. Hang on, Jesse Kelly,

139
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: you deserve him. Carmine Galante gets out of prison, I mean,

140
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: fifteen years old, walks into prison. When he gets out,

141
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna learn his lesson, right, Nah, he gets out.

142
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: He is a hijacker, he's a robber, he is a murderer.

143
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: He was sticking up a payroll. For those of you

144
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: unaware of what a payroll is, especially back in the day,

145
00:11:53,280 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: this is pre electronic money age. Employees were oftentimes aid

146
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: and cash. You went down to the bank, somebody from

147
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: your business went down to the bank, or the bank

148
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: sent a driver. Driver shows up in front of your

149
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: business with a boatload of cash, walks in, hands it

150
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: to you, You hand it out. You put vehicles like

151
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: that in front of Carmine Galante. He's gonna think these

152
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: are ones I can take. Why would I not take it?

153
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: He takes one cop tries to stop him. He shoots

154
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: the cop dead without hesitation, shoots a police officer dad.

155
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Even most gangsters in America would not do such a thing.

156
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: That wasn't his first time, shoots him dead without hesitation.

157
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: They try to convict him of this. All the witnesses

158
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: had a change of heart and decided they weren't going

159
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: to testify against Carmine Galante. He doesn't stop. He's not

160
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: in the mafia yet. By the way, obviously the mafia

161
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: knows about him. Again, I cannot stress this enough. He's

162
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: not under the influence of others. He is the influence.

163
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: That's who he is. He continues to rob. He once

164
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: again gets in a confrontation with a police officer tries

165
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: to shoot this one too. Like I said, this is

166
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: not a man who hesitated the last time or felt

167
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: bad about it. He missed and hit a six year

168
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: old child. By the grace of God, the child did

169
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: not die, and by the grace of God, the cop

170
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: at least had the guts to testify against Carmine Gallante.

171
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: So at the age of I think it was twenty one,

172
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: he gets sent to twelve years in Sing Sing prison.

173
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: If you don't know about Sing Sing prison, just understand

174
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know the conditions of it these days, or

175
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: even if it's still around back then. Not where you

176
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: wanted to be ever seen show Shank Redemption. That's sing

177
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: Sing prison basically, Well, I guess I should clarify when

178
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I say not where you want to be. It's not

179
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: where you want to be unless you're Carmine Galante. You see,

180
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: he got along just fine in there. At one point

181
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: in time, him and a couple other young and up

182
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: and coming Italians who would later on join the Gambino

183
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: family and in the Banano family, they try to kill

184
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: a guy. Other people jump in Carmine Galante gets stabbed

185
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: in the stomach and stabbed in the shoulder, goes to

186
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: the prison doctor. They stand in front of him and say,

187
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: tell us who stabbed you? Or you're going to get

188
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: three more years in prison. Carmine Galante, for all his faults,

189
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: was the gangster's gangster. Now I'm good, I'll take the

190
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: extra three years. Should be noted at this point in time,

191
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: they actually brought this guy in. He was so different.

192
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: They brought this guy in and they diagnosed him. They said, look,

193
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: we need to we need to sit this guy down

194
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: with the prison psychologist. There's something wrong, something's missing. Bring

195
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: him in, sit him down, and the prison psychologist says,

196
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: this guy is a psychopath. And that's not I'm not

197
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: trying to be me, and that's not me making up

198
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a word. They actually said, this guy is a diagnosed psychopath.

199
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: He is missing parts of himself. He's also intelligent. He

200
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: speaks four languages by the time he's by the time

201
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: he's older. Now, remember what I said earlier when I

202
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: told you that story. I believe it was last week

203
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: about albert Anastasia, how prisons and jails have scouts for

204
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: the mafia, sing sing prison was no different. There were

205
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: a million mob associated guys already in there. There are

206
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: eyes all over the place. He looks around and they say, hey,

207
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: mob guys on the outside, this is somebody you're gonna

208
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: want to talk to, And sure enough he did. He

209
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: gets out of prison. Joe Binano, who was the massively

210
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: powerful head of the Banano crime family, takes him in

211
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: and Galante is Joe Banano's right hand man and a

212
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: good right hand man. He loved Joe Binano. He would

213
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: murder anybody who told him to murder. He loved murdering people,

214
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: really genuinely enjoyed it. And there was another extremely violent

215
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: gangster I'll tell you about another time, named Vito Genovese

216
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: or Vito Genovese, depending on who you're talking to. I

217
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: can't I can't ever figure it out. Everyone says in

218
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: a different way. Vito Navesi was a mob boss who

219
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: had to flee to Italy. This is World War two era, Okay,

220
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: had to flee to Italy because America was after him.

221
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Do you remember how Benito Mussolini took power as a

222
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: fascist in Italy and then promptly started murdering all the

223
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: mafia guys over there. He murdered hundreds of thousands of them. Well,

224
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: Vito Genovesi decided, well, there's a way around this, and

225
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: he just got to be best friends with Benito, started

226
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: bribing him, became his friend. And there was an American

227
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: journalist in New York named Carlo Tresca. And Carlo Tresca

228
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: he didn't like Benito Mussolini, and he started printing some

229
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: really ugly things about Benito Mussolini. But I mean, why not,

230
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: what's the danger. He's an American. Benito's clear over there

231
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: in Italy. It's not my problem, right, Except there was

232
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: a problem. You see, Genovesi knew Carmine Galante really well

233
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: knew he would have no issue with this whatsoever. Ring

234
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: Ring makes a phone call, says, hey, that Carlo Tresca guy. Yeah,

235
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Benito doesn't want him alive anymore. No problem. Click, Carlo

236
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Tresca dead. You can still see the article to this day. Now.

237
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Obviously a psychopath, an intelligent psychopath who speaks several languages.

238
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: This is the type of person who rises quickly in

239
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: the mafia world. And he did, and eventually they had

240
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: a gigantic meeting, a gigantic meeting in Sicily. You can

241
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: actually still see. I think the hotel they had it

242
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: in was still standing to this day. I'm talking Lucky Luciano.

243
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: Everybody was there, and the meeting in Sicily was about heroin.

244
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: You see, this old way of thinking that the mafia

245
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: had these rules about dealing drugs and you weren't allowed

246
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: to deal drugs, and we don't deal drugs here. That

247
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: wasn't really true. Now, some of them had rules, but

248
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: basically the rule was don't get caught dealing drugs, and

249
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: if they caught you, you'd get killed. But they kind

250
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: of knew you were gonna And look, let's be honest,

251
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: the money's absurd. If you're in any kind of crime,

252
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: especially the organized type, you can choose to make and

253
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm making up these numbers. You can choose to make

254
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a week gambling, five hundred dollars a

255
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: week from running prostitutes, five hundred dollars a week from

256
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: hijacking trucks, and ignore the fact that you can make

257
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars a week running drugs. But if you

258
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: do ignore that fact, all of a sudden, the crew

259
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: across the street who does not ignore that fact is

260
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: going to have a lot more men, a lot more power,

261
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: and you're going to end up in a trunk with

262
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: a bullet in your head at some point in time.

263
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: It's a game of survival. You need money, you need power.

264
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: It was never believable, and it is never believable that

265
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: any organized crime group is going to ignore the money

266
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: that comes with drugs. And they have a big meeting

267
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: in Sicily and they work some things out. Hang on,

268
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: They're at this gigantic mafia meeting in Sicily. Now you

269
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: ask why Sicily understand something. I am not discounting the

270
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: power the American mafia once had. It's clearly fallen way off.

271
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: Yes it's still there, it's fallen way off. I'm not

272
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: discounting that power. But the American Mafia did gangster stuff

273
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: compared to the Sicilian mafia in the same way the

274
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: w NBA plays basketball compared to the NBA. That's what

275
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: they do in Sicily. That's what they did, That's what

276
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: they currently do. That's what they're gonna do. Do you

277
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: remember Brandon Darby are a great cartel guy who comes

278
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: on the show. He talks about the Mexican cartels all

279
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: the time, you remember what he told us, in case

280
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: you don't. The Mexican cartels, you know, those mega, mega

281
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: powerful cartels we like to look at with our jaw

282
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: hanging open. They make billions. They have all these, you know,

283
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: a hundred a thousand guys and the machine guns. These

284
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: guys must rule the world. They're the third most powerful

285
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: crime organization on the world, in the world, behind the

286
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Russians and the Italians. Sicily is where it's done. It's

287
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: where all these guys came from. Sicily invented it, Sicily

288
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: still does it. Sicily is always gonna do it. That's

289
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: just a fact. So when they have this big meeting

290
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: in Sicily, it's the American gangsters and it's the Sicilians,

291
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: and they have to work out. Heroin, I have to

292
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: figure out a way to get it into the country,

293
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: a way to do it smartly. You know that movie.

294
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard of it, even though most of

295
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: you maybe haven't seen it by now, called The French Connection.

296
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: It's an old Gene Hackman movie. You've at least heard

297
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: of it. Mitchell, of you heard of it. I know

298
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: Chris is an idiot and he hasn't heard of it.

299
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: I know you've heard of it. The French Connection is

300
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: not the name of a movie. The French Connection is

301
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: the name of the drug route. Started in Turkey where

302
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: they were getting the opium, moved to Lebanon, moved to France,

303
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: Marseilles to be specific. In France. Remember when I have

304
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: told you about the docks in any town, any place,

305
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: a big port city is big crime always one hundred

306
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: percent of the time. We went to Marseilles and then

307
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: to America. They were figuring out a way to get

308
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: heroin into America. And that route I just told you

309
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: about is called the French Connection. It's actually what the

310
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: movie is about. Again, they named the movie after the

311
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: drug route, not the drug route. After the movie. Well,

312
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: we get back to the States, Carmin and Gallante and

313
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: always gangs their friends, and Carmine brings some Sicilians with him. Now,

314
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: this is kind of a racist, derogatory name, so don't

315
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: go calling your Sicilian buddy this unless he has a

316
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: good sense of humor. But they were called zips. They

317
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: called them zips. It was not in any way uncommon

318
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: for American mafia guys to bring zips from Sicily as

319
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: muscle as assassins. Carmine Galante viewed them as being extra loyal.

320
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: We'll get back to that here in a couple of minutes.

321
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: They were killers. They also lacked compunction because of their

322
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: culture where they came from. They would kill anyone, cops, women, children, anybody.

323
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: An American mafia guy would not in general, unless there

324
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: Carmine Galante kill a cop, almost never would kill a

325
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: woman or a child. That's just not what they did. Zips,

326
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: no problem, where are you killing them? That famous gangster

327
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: we've ever actually never done one on him before, Carlos

328
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: Marcello from New Orleans. I called him Marcello last time

329
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: because I've heard him called that before and a bunch

330
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: of my New Orleans but he's screamed at me that

331
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: it's Marcello, so I don't want to upset the New

332
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: Orleans people. Marcello he used to do something really terrible.

333
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: He would get orphans from Sicily. He would if he

334
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: wanted somebody killed, he would bring orphans from Sicily in,

335
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: send them out, murder them and have the orphans go meet,

336
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, their American contact after they committed the murder,

337
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: and then he'd murder the orphans. And he brought in

338
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: orphans from another country because they were completely untraceable. He

339
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: thought no one cared about them anyway, which he was

340
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of right, and no one would realize they're gone.

341
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: So you now you have a murder committed by somebody

342
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: who no one cared about to begin with and now

343
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, like I said, not great people

344
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: bringing me back to Marcello or to a Galante Montreal, Toronto, Canada.

345
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: We'd like to view our ends to the north as

346
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: being just a polite country of snow and maple syrup.

347
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: But you need to understand the largest concentration, especially back

348
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: in the day. I don't know if this is still

349
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: the case, but the largest concentration of Italians outside of

350
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Italy was not New York City, it wasn't Chicago. It

351
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: was Canada. There was something there. I don't know all

352
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: the reasons behind it. And Canada was big time, big

353
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: time in the mafia world. Joe Banano has this great

354
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: now underboss Carmine Galante wants to run the heroine in

355
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: from Canada. Sends Galante up to Canada. Unsurprisingly, Galante gets

356
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: the Canadian drug business going, gets it going really quickly.

357
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: It is a little too violent, even for the gangsters

358
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: up there. If you showed up with a shipment, late

359
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: Galante would just shoot you the guy. I cannot stress

360
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: this enough. If you read enough about him, he terrified

361
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: other gangsters. Everybody was scared to death of him. He

362
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: murdered so many people in Canada. Finally, the Canadian authorities,

363
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: after not being able to pin anything on him, unsurprisingly,

364
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: just flat out kicked him out. They're like, please just

365
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: go back to America. I go. He gets back to America,

366
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: and now the worst happens for him. He had been

367
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: running all this heroin and was going fine, and there

368
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: was a gigantic drug agency then. It's kind of what

369
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: you know the DA to be today, but it was

370
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: something different back then, and they were good, and we

371
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: had mandatory minimum sentencing for drugs. And he gets back

372
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: to the United States of America boom busted. He's facing

373
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: a twenty year prison sentence and wouldn't you know it, Chris,

374
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: the first trial ends up being a mistrial because the

375
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: jury foreman has a long fall in an abandoned building

376
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: and breaks his back. Nobody ever found out why. Hey,

377
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: it happens to the best of us, right whoops, stumbled

378
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: into this abandoned building and fell down an elevator shaft.

379
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: He does, however, have another trial, and he's convicted to

380
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: twenty years in prison, twenty years mandatory minimum. And I

381
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: believe he was fifty seventy. I know he was in

382
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: his fifties when he went. He goes to prison. While

383
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: he's in prison, the Gambino crime family, remember Galante was

384
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: in the Banano crime family. The five families kind of

385
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: work together, sometimes kind of murder each other sometimes. In general,

386
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: the thinking is they're supposed to be under the same commission,

387
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: and they're all supposed to work together. Obviously, does not

388
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: always work out that way. While he's in prison, the

389
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: Gambino crime family, which is long known to be the

390
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: biggest and most powerful of the five mafia families, takes

391
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: over the Heroine rackets in New York City. Carmine sets

392
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: in prison, Carmine starts stewing, Carmine is angry. Finally, after

393
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: twelve years, because of a technicality, he gets parole. Not

394
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Carmine gets out, and the Gambino crime family

395
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: has taken over Heroin in New York City, and they're

396
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: running Heroine out of the various pizza shops. The Gambino

397
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: family also ruled. Isn't this kind of funny all the

398
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: pizza in New York City? They controlled all the supply lines,

399
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: the sauces, the cheeses, everything else, and they ran all

400
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: the pizza shops. Well, remember we're dealing with Carmine Galante here,

401
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to hear about the most powerful

402
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: family in New York. And he also doesn't want to

403
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: hear that there's a new interim boss of the Banano family.

404
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: He essentially walks out of prison and says, Oh, I'm

405
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: the boss. Anyone have any issues with this? Of course,

406
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: he murders a few people, but yes, I'm the boss.

407
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: Now I'm running the Banano family. And then these Gambino

408
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: pizza parlors start to go up in flames, quite literally,

409
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: and the Gambinos get mad about it, and Carmine Galante says, whoa,

410
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh you're mad. Well, I've got a solution for that too.

411
00:30:39,360 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. The Gambinos are clearly not pleased

412
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: with the fact that Carmine Galante is burning down their

413
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: pizza parlors, blatantly taking them over and running Heroin out

414
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: of them. They didn't discover this until years later when

415
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: somebody was caught with an apron with a bunch of

416
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: bundles of cash in at heading back to Italy. So

417
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Blotte just starts murdering members of the Gambino family. Remember

418
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: born bad. Even other gangsters didn't act like this. Murdered

419
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: his own family, murdered members of the Gambino family, just bad.

420
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: You ever heard of Frank Costello As a quick side

421
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: note before we come to the end of our story,

422
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: Frank Costello was the gentleman's gangster. They called him the

423
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Prime Minister. Remember how I said there are degrees, there

424
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: are levels of things. Frank Costello was. I mean, he

425
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't really believe in violence, very much believed in bribery.

426
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: He was a bad guy. He even said, by his

427
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: own admission, he said, look when I died, don't tell

428
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: people I sold bibles for a living. He was a gangster,

429
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: a bad guy. But again, Frank Costello would do everything

430
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: possible to avoid harming you. Carmine Gallante hated Frank Costello

431
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: and when he got out of prison, Frank Costello had

432
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: by then passed away, and Costello was widely respected in

433
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: the crime community. And in the legitimate community, politicians, businessmen.

434
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: They all showed up at his funeral, widely loved, widely respected,

435
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: and they built him one of those big ever seen

436
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: one of those big. They're big in the South, Chris

437
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: one of those big. Basically, I'm sure there's a word

438
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: for him that's escaping me right now. Like, it's not

439
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: a tombstone, dude, It's like a above ground tomb with

440
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: doors on it and stuff like you walk in. It's

441
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: like a like, I don't know even know what you'd

442
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: call it. A crypt, Yes, a crypt. Costello had one

443
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: of those. Carmine Galante threw a bomb in his I'm

444
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: not even making that up. The man was dead, threw

445
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: a bomb in it and blew the doors off of it.

446
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: A bad human being. Now there's a shelf life on that.

447
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Even though you're the scariest guy in the world, there

448
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: is a shelf life on that. Galante. He's actually on

449
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: camera saying, nobody's ever gonna kill me. They wouldn't dare,

450
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: They would dare. Carmine Galante goes to Joe and Mary's

451
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Diner on July twelfth, nineteen seventy nine. Joe and Mary's

452
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: Diner is. If you've never been in New York City,

453
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: you wouldn't understand. But just try to picture this, and

454
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: you people who've been to New York City will know

455
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. There. It's just the coolest city.

456
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: I highly recommend you go. As soon as people stop

457
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: dying there. I highly recommend you go. It has all

458
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: these little diners and little shops. The last time I

459
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: was there, I had to walk a couple blocks for

460
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: a media gig I was doing, and so I started

461
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: looking around for restaurants. In one of the highest rated

462
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: little diners, there was this little breakfast place. And you

463
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: can't picture it. You know, when you're looking on your

464
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: phone at a map. You know, Oh cool, I'll stop

465
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: biograph some eggs. It's my thing. I go and I

466
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: do a double take at the diner, and I don't

467
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,479
Speaker 1: even know why. It surprises me anymore. And I am

468
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: not exaggerating. I am not exaggerating. Ten feet wide, the

469
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: storefront ten feet wide. You look into this diner, there

470
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: is a counter going down the middle of it. On

471
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: the right side of the counter is the flat top

472
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: and where two or three people were actually making the food.

473
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: On the left side are stools that are nailed into

474
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: the ground, screwed into the ground on the countertop where

475
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: people were eating. Behind those people is maybe maybe two

476
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: and a half feet of space to walk by them

477
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: to get to the back. And there's nothing in the

478
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: back either. There was I think it was one extra

479
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: table sitting back there, and people would just crowd around,

480
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: and you just learn to crowd around. New York City

481
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: is old and it is tiny, and people just get

482
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: used to it. The spaces are tiny, spaces are at

483
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: a premium there. They cost a fortune. This highly rated

484
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: little breakfast joint, and it was packed and there were

485
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: people waiting for it to go. Food down the block, packed,

486
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: just a tiny little thing. If you sneezed in there,

487
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: you'd give yourself a concussions. This small New York is

488
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: small even I've been there a couple of times now.

489
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: Granted I've been there plenty of times when I didn't

490
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: have any money, but I've been there a couple of

491
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: times now when someone else was paying, and they'll put

492
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: you up in some fancy hotel room and fancy hotel room.

493
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing the air fingers quotes thing. Last time I went, Chris,

494
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: I never told you the story. They booked me. It

495
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: was a separate company. I'm not going to go into it.

496
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: They booked me a five hundred dollars a night hotel room.

497
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: I was only there for one night, and I told

498
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: him I'm like, I don't need I mean, this is

499
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: this is me. Everybody knows I'm fine in the Super eight.

500
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: But they're like, we want to treat you, right, it's

501
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: just one night, or they're doing that steak dinner thing.

502
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: It was the smallest room you've ever seen in your

503
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: entire life. I walked in and it's just that's New York.

504
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: New York is small, and I'm not bagging on the hotel.

505
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: It was fine. It was great, but everything is small

506
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: and you have to learn to accept that when you

507
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: get there. Which brings us to Joe and Mary's Diner.

508
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: July twelfth, nineteen seventy nine. Crap, hang, honestly, we need

509
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: to get to the perennium sunning, Chris. I need you

510
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: to do me a favor and actually look up the

511
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: dictionary definition and print out for me the dictionary definition

512
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: of what of perennium? Please do that on the company computer, please,

513
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: I just look. It's all about efficiency here now. Carmine

514
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: Galante July twelfth, nineteen seventy nine, walks into Joe and

515
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Mary Steiner. Why did he walk in there? His cousin

516
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: owned the place. His cousin was getting ready to go

517
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: on vacation in Italy. And Carmine Galante loved Joe and

518
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: Mary's diner. He went there a lot. If a lot

519
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: of people want to kill you, let me just give

520
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: you a piece of advice. Don't go anywhere a lot. Now.

521
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 1: I should note remember those extremely loyal zip bodyguards he had.

522
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: He had them with him, kept them with him at

523
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: all times. They killed a lot of people for him.

524
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: They were known to be frightening. One of them was,

525
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: I guess six seven and blonde the common thing people

526
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: don't realize as a lot of Sicilians are not, you know,

527
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: dark haired like like like you picture. There are a

528
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of blonde hair, blue eyed ones. They head out back.

529
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: There's a little patio area where a couple of tables

530
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: are set up and they have a nice lunch with

531
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: some wine. Hang on the Jesse Kelly show. This is

532
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: a Jesse Kelly show. Carmine Galante goes out back of

533
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: Joe and Mary's diner has a lovely lunch. By all accounts,

534
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: a couple table tables set up in the back. Again,

535
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: this is another one of those very narrow restaurants, like

536
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: my breakfast bound I told you about little patio area

537
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: area in New York City. Especially if you're a restaurant,

538
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: you have to maximize every single inch of space because

539
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: it is all precious out back. Finishes his meal. Now,

540
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: Carmine his nickname was the Cigar because he apparently always

541
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: had one in his mouth, finishes his meal, fires up

542
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: a stogie, chilling out. The two bodyguards are there. Three

543
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: masked men burst through the door of the restaurant was

544
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: shotguns and pistols and kill everyone except for the bodyguards.

545
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: Mind you, they walked out unscathed, didn't fire a shot.

546
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: One of them later on ended up getting a nice promotion.

547
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I wonder how that happened. You can now google Carmine

548
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: Galante and you will see his death. You see, they

549
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't allow reporters in there, but one enterprising soul crawled

550
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: on the rooftop of the building next door and snapped

551
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: pictures of Carmine Galante. They ran in the papers. You'll

552
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: see him. Their bloody there's a drain beside him, and

553
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: his blood is draining down. It's kind of cool looking.

554
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: He has a left eye that is no longer there.

555
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive, although I don't know this for a fact,

556
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive that was done after death. That was

557
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: not in any way uncommon for them to shoot one

558
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: of your eyes. You remember that guy Albert Anastasia had killed.

559
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 1: They shot out both of his eyes, his left eyes missing,

560
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: cigar still firmly planted in his mouth. There is some

561
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: argument about the cigar, though some say. Joe Coffee is

562
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: a New York police detective who was there. He swears

563
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: he never touched the cigar. The guy clinched down on

564
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: the cigar as he was getting shot to pieces, and

565
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: that's why it was still in his mouth. Others say

566
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: the cops planted it there. Either way, I choose to

567
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: believe in the cooler sounding thing, and that's that him.

568
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: He died with a cigar in his mouth. That man

569
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: was born bad, and it wouldn't matter how many times

570
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: you sent him to prison, how many times you beat him,

571
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: shot at him, stabbed him. That guy's going to do

572
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 1: bad things. We don't like to have this conversation. Ever,

573
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: and there are a couple different reasons behind it. We

574
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: don't like to have the conversation about the guy's just bad.

575
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: We don't like to have it because we don't want

576
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: that standard applied to us, do we. I mean, the

577
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: other guy's bad. You just made a mistake. Now you're

578
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: the same thing, right, Oh man, that dude, that's a

579
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: bad guy. Jesse, you did something terrible yesterday. Oh I

580
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: screwed up. Everyone does it. We don't like that that

581
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: same standard applied to us. Human nature, that's one two.

582
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: The Christian and all of us except for Chris. The

583
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Christian and all of us likes to believe in redemption.

584
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: And I'm kidding about that just being a Christian thing.

585
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: That's a human thing, right. Nobody likes a good redemption story.

586
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: Rags to riches, started out bad, turned around good. But

587
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, if you talk to a cop, and they'll

588
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: never say this publicly, and they'll never say it on camera,

589
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: but I'm friends with a lot of cops, probably not

590
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: the most surprising thing to you. They'll tell you people

591
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: don't change. For the most part, people don't change. And

592
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: a cop, as much as I disagree with this, and

593
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: even though they really disagree with it. They will tell

594
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: you I could clean up society a lot if you

595
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: let me lock away teenagers for the rest of their lives.

596
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: And it's again not a conversation you can ever have

597
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: with them publicly. But I obviously mortify the first time

598
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: I ever have this talk, I'm like, what are you

599
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: talking about? Man? He's like, dude, I've been a cop

600
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: for twenty years. Every one of these little hoodlums I

601
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: bust at fifteen sixteen, I'm busting the guy for murder

602
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: or arm robbery. By the time he's twenty two or

603
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty three, every single one of them, they don't go away.

604
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Cops know who all the criminals are. Do you know

605
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: why cops know who all the criminals are? Because they've

606
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: always been criminals, because the cops have known them since

607
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: they were children. And we don't like thinking about that.

608
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't like thinking about that. I love the stories

609
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: of someone turning their life around. But there's this thing

610
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: happening right now in the country. And I understand that

611
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: this is a big leftist thing because part of being

612
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: a leftist, I don't actually, for the first time ever,

613
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't mean this to be insulting but it's true.

614
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: Part of being a leftist means trying to make the

615
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: world as you want it to be instead of how

616
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: it is. Part of being a leftist is living in

617
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: a world of make believe. It just is. You live

618
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: in a world that is not real. You want it

619
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: to be real, And my goodness, half the time you

620
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: bring up you talk to a leftist on what they want.

621
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: I want that world to be real, but it's not

622
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: real and it can never be real. And people were

623
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: turning prisoners loose all over the country, all over the country,

624
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: especially in these big leftist cities. They are throwing open

625
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: the doors to the jails. There's a headline right here.

626
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: This is from my friend Peter Hassan of the Daily Caller.

627
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: Headline is thirty seven minutes later inmates release from jail

628
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: due to coronavirus fears, keep getting arrested again. Apparently he

629
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: walked out of court on zero bail and carjacked somebody

630
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: thirty seven minutes after he walked out the front door

631
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: of the courthouse. These this is one of a million

632
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: of these stories that have been printed in the past

633
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: month or so as these leftists have thrown open the

634
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: doors of the jails and said, well, we can't keep

635
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: them in here. It's dangerous to them. Los Angeles sheriff

636
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: has seen an upticking crime immediately and said, oh, it's

637
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: probably because we open the jails. That's not good. You

638
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: like to imagine in your mind that that guy has

639
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: learned his lesson. That guy's in jail, he's got a

640
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: new lease on life. I'm sure. Look, he's only in

641
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: jail because the cops are bad. He's only in jail

642
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: because he made one mistake. I'm sure he doesn't want

643
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: to go back to his life a crime. These are

644
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: all things you want to believe, but sometimes no matter

645
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: how it began, nature or nurture. You remember our Carmine

646
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: Galante talk, that's who you are. You are who you

647
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: are at some point, and that doesn't mean you can't

648
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: be redeemed. It doesn't mean you can't turn it around,

649
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: but it does mean you have to acknowledge the reality

650
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: that they probably won't. We are in the middle of

651
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: a pandemic. Over forty thousand people are dead. On a

652
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: much worse note, we're in the middle of a gigantic

653
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: economic contraction. Thirty million unemployed, and that's a drop in

654
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: the bucket compared to what we're about to face totally economically.

655
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: You cannot, then, because of your idiotic leftist sensibilities, throw

656
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: open the doors of the jails and let every brand

657
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: new Carmine Galante run free on society. I understand this

658
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: is difficult for you to hear leftists. I do, but

659
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes you gotta leave him in there forever. The

660
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse Kelly

661
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: Show dot com. Chris, it's time to talk about perennium. Sunny.

662
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't get mad at me. I didn't write the headline.

663
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: What is your problem? I didn't, right, It's from the

664
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: New York Post, dude, It's from a reputable publication. It's Friday, man.

665
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: We need to address weekend plans, all right. I wasn't

666
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: sure what I'm gonna do this weekend, and now I know.

667
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: Now you may be confused as I was, about what

668
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: exactly a perennium is. I had Chris look this up

669
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: for me on the company computer. I had him printed

670
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: out for me on the company printer, had him leave

671
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: it there for five to ten minutes, just in case

672
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: someone would look. And now I have the definition in

673
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: front of me and have to be honest, I'm not

674
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: reading this on here. This is still as much fun

675
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: as we have. This is a family show, and I

676
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: can't I can't read this on there. Let me just

677
00:50:53,320 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: explain that you have a perennium. Perennium is gosh, let's see,

678
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: what's the best way to put this, Chris, um perennium.

679
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: Perennium is that area between between where you go number

680
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: one and number two? Is that what? Chris? Was that bad? Okay? Yes,

681
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: I could have put that a little better, but I

682
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 1: wasn't sure of us on the spot. I don't think

683
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: this out. That's what it is. I didn't write the article, man,

684
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what it was. We gotta talk

685
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: it out, all right. Now to the headline. The headline

686
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: is perennium sunning. Perennium sonning is the latest insanity, wellness

687
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: and influencers swear by. What is an influencer? What is

688
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: this big thing today? All right? Whatever? Are we am?

689
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: I an influencer? Chris? I think we all know I

690
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: must be. They're soaking up some rays where the sun

691
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: don't shine. This is from Hannah Frishburg of the New

692
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: York post. The hottest trend gripping wellness die hards is

693
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: tanning their cans, or perennium sunning, as the influencers call it.

694
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: In a mere thirty seconds of sunlight on your buttole,

695
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: you will receive more energy from this electric node than

696
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: you would in an entire day of being outside with

697
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: your clothes on, says an influencer who goes by raw

698
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: r A raw goes by raw of earth. Of course,

699
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: that's what he or she goes by. In a viral

700
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: video that is racked Oh it's a heat. In a

701
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: viral video that is racked up more than thirty five

702
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: thousand views. He gestures towards the sun as three naked

703
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: men lie down, pointing their backsides to the sky. All Right,

704
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't do this anymore. Let me just say,

705
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 1: although it appears to be safe for work, since I

706
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: had Chris pronounce the article as well, there's a picture

707
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: in case you were wondering how to do this. It

708
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: appears that you simply lie back, You raise your feet

709
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: in the air and grab your toes, and you aim

710
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: the old starfish towards the sun. We we're bored as

711
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: a society aren't we. I mean, that's really what that is.

712
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: What that is every time I see something like this,

713
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: you know what it tells me, Chris, It tells me

714
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: we have too much time on our hands. That's all

715
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: that is. And you know what you haven't seen. It's

716
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 1: actually kind of funny. Not that there's anything funny about

717
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: the pandemic or the economic devastation or anything else, but

718
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: you realize how little you've seen the new I'm the

719
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: new sizz transformative thing that you know, how little you've

720
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: actually seen that. I mean, there's been some always, because

721
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: there are always psychopaths out there, but you haven't seen

722
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: much of that, have You call me by my preferred pronouns,

723
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: Because all that stuff starts to go away when you're

724
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: standing in line at a food bank, when people are dying.

725
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 1: And I'm thrilled about that because it proves the point

726
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: I've always made. Not that I wanted this to change,

727
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: not that I want anybody to suffer, and I dang

728
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: sure don't want anybody to die or lose a loved one,

729
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: but the point I've always always made. As soon as

730
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: I saw headlines like this, Perennium Sonning call me by

731
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: his her or she all this, all this insane stuff.

732
00:54:55,200 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: I always have said, we're too rich, We're too rich,

733
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: we're too comfortable. And that sounds weird to say, because

734
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who doesn't begrudge people a buddy. You

735
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: know that there's an old saying, resent money, you'll never

736
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: make it. Resent success, you'll never achieve it. And it

737
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent true, one hundred percent true. You

738
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: see this all the time. And let's be honest, in

739
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: my business, you see this all the time in radio

740
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: and TV. I do both of these people will these

741
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: successful people I mean yeah, even once who view view

742
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: things relatively similarly. You know, people on the right, well,

743
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: yell at other people on the right hate that guy.

744
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: You hear this, You hear this all the time. When

745
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: it comes to Hannity. Hannity is a great example. People

746
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: on the right love to say this, love to say this.

747
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: Hannity's such a stupid hack. Oh Hannity's such an idiot.

748
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: Hannity's doing this new segment. And look, I don't know

749
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. I'm not I'm not his friend. I'm not

750
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: here taking up for my buddy. I met him one time.

751
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Is very nice, This has nothing to do with him personally.

752
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: But you know what, Basically all of that translates to Chris.

753
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 1: I would cut off my left leg to have even

754
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: one of Sean Hannity's paychecks, and I'm bitter that he

755
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: has it, and I don't. Maybe you're a Hannity fan,

756
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: maybe you're not. I don't care. Like I said, it's

757
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: not about him. Sean Hannity makes over twenty million dollars

758
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: a year. Sean Hannity makes over twenty million dollars a year.

759
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: Oh and did I mention he has for a while?

760
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea what Sean Hannity's net worth

761
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: probably is. I don't. I don't care. It's not my business,

762
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: Sean han Sean Hannity flies a private jet when Sean

763
00:56:54,320 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: Hannity goes somewhere. Now you can yell and scream this

764
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: sell out that Sean Hannity could never write an article

765
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: as smart as the article I wrote, like you could.

766
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: You could do all these things. That's that's fine. Well whatever,

767
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: it's jealousy, bro, and everyone knows it's jealousy. Stop stop stop.

768
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: You see the CNN guys, they make a living doing

769
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: this yelling at the Fox news guy. It's embarrassing, like

770
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: someone with a show on CNN, someone with an actual

771
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: television show, like a professional. We'll get on Twitter and

772
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: start blasting away at somebody. Just Greg Gutfield. You're such

773
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: a stupid idiot. Dude, you look like a child. What

774
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: are you doing? Shout out? Stop doing this? So again,

775
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: I digress. Let me go back to this. I'm not

776
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: the guy who begrudges anybody any money. I'm not. You

777
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: make what you make, You make everything you can get

778
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: out there. I get it. Would Come on, dude, come on,

779
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: let's let's grow up a little bit here. Let's let's

780
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: let's realize that at some point you can be too

781
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: rich and too bored and you end up miserable. It's

782
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: like I've always said, Chris, you end up bored and miserable.

783
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: And if I could give you any of you, if

784
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: I could give you everything you ever wanted with the

785
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: snap of my fingers, I'm a genie in a bottle

786
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: and you could have it all. I want to yacht

787
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: in a private island. I want to eat grapes with

788
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: the Swedish bikini team. I want to and I could

789
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: give you everything you ever thought you wanted. In a week,

790
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: you'd be bored. Maybe two weeks, snap my fingers give

791
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: you at all, You'd be like why, Because part of

792
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: how we are created is for the struggle. We are

793
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: created for the struggle. Every now and then I make

794
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: poor decisions. I know everybody's gonna find that shocking, because

795
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: everyone's like, Jesse, you're basically, you know, the wisest person ever.

796
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: I get that. And one of the worst decisions I

797
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: ever made was getting to know our next guest. Terry

798
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: Shapherd is his name. He is a retired Green Beret

799
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: Master Sergeant and host of Hollywood Weapons on the Outdoor Channel,

800
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: which is sweet. By the way, if you ever want

801
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: a really cool show, highly highly recommend it. And as

802
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: much as this pains me to say, the dude is

803
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 1: actually a legend with all the other Green Berets I've

804
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: gotten to know within the same community. Do you remember

805
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: how we talked about Carmine Galante and they're being levels

806
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: of everything. Yeah, Terry Shepherd's a different level. Terry, exactly

807
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: how much did you have to bribe all these other

808
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Green Berets to talk that nicely about you? That's that's funny, Jesse.

809
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, I was just thinking while I was listening

810
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: to you compliment me with a backhand, because all these

811
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: guys that you're talking about, we were all kind of

812
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: talking like, how did Jesse Kelly get a national show?

813
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: We just we can't. I mean, God, bless you, bless

814
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: your heart, Jeff, I call you Jess, but we still

815
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. And by the way, I'm not

816
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: a legend in any community. I you know, I had

817
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a good run, and I try to with the stuff

818
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I do, like TV or whatever. I try to represent

819
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: the regiment well. And you know, I'm not a chess

820
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: stumper because I don't have a chest really the stump.

821
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's the best I think some of the

822
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: funniest things we see in and you're you're You've been

823
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: great on Twitter and all of us. We actually had

824
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: a meeting two nights ago, a bunch of us on Zoom,

825
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of vets, and we all just basically, you know,

826
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: shot shot the bull for about two hours. It was awesome,

827
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: but we still don't know why. But we still don't

828
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: know why you have a national show. That's the question. Look.

829
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: The good news is I don't either now, so I

830
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: don't so I don't butcher it. Why don't you describe

831
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: exactly the concept behind Hollywood Weapons, because I actually watched

832
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: this with my boys and one. I mean, obviously Terry's

833
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: it's certainly not the best part of the show, but

834
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: it is nice to have a cool show you can

835
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: watch with your kids now, because there ain't much of

836
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: that out there. I don't have to learn about transsexual

837
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Nazi eskimos when I watch Hollywood Weapons. So describe it. Well,

838
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. I'm glad when you say that,

839
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: because that's something that came out once we started doing

840
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the show. I had a lot of people writing me

841
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: saying I get to watch this with my son, my family,

842
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: and we're happy about that. So the show. I've done

843
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: some stuff for Outdoor Channel the past, and initially they

844
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: wanted to do a test the guns in Hollywood, and

845
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's kind of been done. You know,

846
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I am a I am a actor and an idiot,

847
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: so let me play the parts of these people and

848
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and then we'll have some fun with it.

849
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's I'm like the eighteen year

850
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: old teenager kicking the shins of my co host Larry Zanoff,

851
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: who's a really really great guy. I mean, he knows

852
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: everything about guns and he's a big armor out in

853
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: LA for all the movie and TV business. And yeah,

854
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: so we do, we test stuff and my question as

855
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: always is can you really do that? And so we'll

856
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: we'll take scenes and a lot of it is all

857
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: viewer driven. People write in and say hey, and also

858
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: some of them won't like seeing me blow myself up,

859
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: which I don't think is cool. It's something you would request,

860
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: but people request things and they're like, hey, give us

861
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a tribe. We've had, We've had great guests. Come on, man,

862
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: We've had Tom Selleck, who's as great that you could get,

863
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, Gary Sinise, Bill Duke from Predator, Nick Cercy,

864
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: who I think you know pretty well from Justified, and

865
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: it's it's just a lot of fun. If you if

866
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you like two guys cutting on each other like we do,

867
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: you'll like the show. If you like if you're a

868
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: movie and TV nerd, you like the show. If you're

869
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: a gun guy, you'll like it. So there's enough in

870
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: there for everybody. Everybody. Let me ask you something because

871
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: obviously we have a bunch of vets that listen to

872
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: this show, and I was just a dumb grunt marine.

873
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: And for the people who aren't aware of the different levels,

874
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: a grunt marine is a fly compared to a Green

875
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Beret being like an eagle. That is the difference in

876
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: levels we're talking about here. But I just by the way,

877
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: I disagree with you right away, but go ahead with

878
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: your with your question. But I I even watch a

879
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: movie like Predator, which might be my favorite movie of

880
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: all time, and I'm and I'm still to this day,

881
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: my wife will yell at me. I'm like, get your

882
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: finger straight and off the trigger, and know that I

883
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,919
Speaker 1: see these I see these things and they drive me bad.

884
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: And that's as a grunt marine, as a Green Beret.

885
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Be honest. I know you're I know you're probably not

886
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: a jerk about it, But do you watch and you're like, oh, please, no,

887
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: don't do that. No, that's not right. First of all,

888
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: grunts are the backbone of the military. I was a

889
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: grunt in the eighty second before I was a Special

890
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Forces guy. That was the best path I could have taken.

891
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: And grunts, by the way, you being the exception, are

892
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: some of the smartest people I've ever met because we

893
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: always have. We always have to, Like, no matter what,

894
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, nothing cooperates, the weather doesn't cooperate, equipment doesn't cooperate,

895
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: and you can't go I'm staying home today. No, You've

896
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: got to go get stuff done. So grunts are the

897
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: most adaptable dude. So so Marine's army, your your air force.

898
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Insults on Twitter are magnificent. But anyway, yeah, so, um,

899
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's. It's kind of one of those things

900
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: where we didn't think it was going to be that good.

901
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: But I mean when we do watch it, You're right,

902
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: when I'm watching a movie or TV show, I notice it,

903
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: but I don't get two bent out of shape about

904
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: it because I know it's Hollywood. I think it's gotten

905
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: better over the years because there's a lot of tactical

906
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: advisors and stuff. You know, in the seventies when you

907
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 1: had every cop and army guy in the in the

908
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: movie looking like Charlie's angels, I think that's kind of gone.

909
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: So if I see stuff like that now, that just

910
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: tells me that they're kind of lazy. But you know,

911
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: and and have you done that stuff Herery? Have you

912
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: done the advisor stuff? How is that if you have,

913
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you have. Surely they call you for that.

914
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: I did. I did some of that. Actually, I did

915
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: some of that when I was in New York on

916
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: what was that show? Person of Interest? And then I

917
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: got a little small role on there too. Um, it's

918
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good gig, you know. I think it's a

919
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: good gig. Nick Sercy, as a matter of fact, had

920
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: me scrub a script he wrote just about, you know,

921
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: some tactical stuff. But you know, the goal of the

922
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: show is not to debunk or to like say, oh

923
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: that show is BS, because that's not cool. It's entertainment.

924
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: But so we're kind of celebrating the show. And even

925
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: if even like we tested good to Bad and yugg

926
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: and I was dressed like Cliniswood and I had these long,

927
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: crazy shots I had to make and sometimes I may them,

928
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: sometimes I didn't. But I'm not going to say oh

929
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: that's BS. I'll just look at it say well I

930
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: didn't make the shot, but you know, dang well, Clint

931
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Eastwoo would have made it. So now of course you

932
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: would have why green Berets, Why was that always the

933
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: goal when you joined the army or were you just

934
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys who kept finding a new challenge

935
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: or were you you know, as a kid, I'm going

936
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: to be a Green Beret. No, that's a good question.

937
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: And I've told people this before, so I you know,

938
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: I enlisted with a degree, and like I was a

939
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: biology guy and then an anthropology guy. At the end

940
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: of my junior year. I'm dude, I'm such a nerd.

941
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: And and well, by the way, my friend Andrew Willcow

942
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: who you know pretty well too, he called he called

943
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the Green Berets warrior nerds because we kind of are

944
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, I read a book in college,

945
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the end of end of college about you know, it

946
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: was a Special Forces guys in Vietnam, like mac v

947
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: saw guys and I I couldn't put the book down.

948
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: And it was like it wasn't even what they the

949
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: missions which were hiring. If anybody hasn't read about those guys,

950
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: you need to. But it was the black and white

951
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: pictures of these cats. I mean, they got there, they

952
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: got their arms around each other, they just came back

953
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: from a mission. They're sweaty. There's black guys, white guys

954
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: monting yards and they're smiling. And I'm thinking some of

955
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: those dudes didn't come out of out of that mission.

956
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Some of the guys and they're all laughing, they're all

957
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: smiling at death. So I thought, that's the guy I

958
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: want to be. So like as soon as I graduated

959
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: from college, I messed around my brothers. He was up

960
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: in college in Vermont. And then I enlisted in October

961
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: of eighty eight. And back then there was no direct

962
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: pipeline to special Forces. So for me, I thought the

963
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: best way to do it was to be an infantryman.

964
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: So I was in the eighty second and that was

965
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: a great place to grow up, you know. I was.

966
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I went to Rangers School, we went to Ricondo School.

967
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I was in Panama Jungle jungle training. I was in

968
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: the Gulf War. So, by the way, you're welcome for

969
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: your freedom, Jesse, because bidden't fight in the Gulf War.

970
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: You do speak in Arabic. And then and then I

971
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: was in. So I was in the eighty second for

972
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: like two and a half years, and then I went

973
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: to the selection in the Q course and then I

974
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: got out. I got out in ninety seven, so I've

975
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: been in for about nine years. And then I went

976
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: back to New York City. Got got basically an MFA

977
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: and acting. I was a theater actor in New York.

978
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: When nine to eleven happened, I joined back up to

979
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: the National Guard green Berets and I was in there

980
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: from October one and I retired in October twenty sixteen.

981
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: So it's a weird life. What's the Oh shoot, we've

982
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: only got about a minute left, Terry. I know you're

983
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a busy dude. Say no if you don't, but I

984
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: have heartbreaks now that I'm national and world famous and

985
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: such a celebrity and super important. Is there any way

986
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: you can hold on and do a couple other questions

987
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: on the back end? How would I not do that

988
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: for you? Everybody's got to do everything they can to

989
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: pitch in and make this show. No, no, it's no, Look,

990
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: it's fine. Look I'll tell you what I'll say. I'll

Speaker 1: host of Hollywood Weapons on Outdoor Channel. Hang on, I

994
01:08:44,840 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: got a couple of questions for him on the other side.

995
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Is he smarter than everyone he knows? Does he think so? Yeah?

996
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: That Jesse Kelly show. Terry Shepherd kind enough. He's such

997
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: a gentle soul when he's not killing people, kind enough

998
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: to stay over and talk to us. Retired Green Beret

999
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: host of Hollywood Weapons on the Outdoor Channel Terry, what

1000
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: is the most miserable environment to train and fight in?

1001
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: I think they all are terrible. When they're terrible, I mean,

1002
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: like I is never you know, like when I was.

1003
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: I'll never forget how cold I was. And I lived

1004
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: in Europe with Special Forces and was up in Norway.

1005
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: But when I went through dug Way, which was the

1006
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: desert phase of Rangers School in December, I don't think

1007
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 1: I've ever been that cold. So and I also hate

1008
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: the jungle, dude, I mean the jungle is everything in

1009
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: the jungle. Mostly my good friend John Hudson, who's the

1010
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Headseer instructor out in UH for the British military. We

1011
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: were in a show together called Dude, You're Screwed. He

1012
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: actually said he goes the jungle is like a huge

1013
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 1: awesome grocery store, but you don't know what any of

1014
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: the labels are, And it was just like, yeah, I

1015
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: mean I thought that was pretty cool because he spent

1016
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of time. But yeah, I mean I think

1017
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I think they kind of all can really crush you

1018
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: if you're not ready. And I think that's you know

1019
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: I was. I was always better in cold environment than

1020
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't hot because I get dehydrated easily, you know,

1021
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: because my body's such a fine tune machine yet that

1022
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: I need water. Don't give me the look, dude. I

1023
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,560
Speaker 1: can see the look right now through the phone, and

1024
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm not in love with your tone. You know. Jungle

1025
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: is the word. As soon as you've had to burn

1026
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: a leech off of your nether regions, you will learn

1027
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: a new hatred for the jungle. I've had to do

1028
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: that before. It's the worst thing, is well, we used

1029
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: to have to roll up tobacco in the bottom of

1030
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: our trousers to keep the leeches from crawling up. Is

1031
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: this the worst thing in the world. I mean, look,

1032
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: they says boys, that's one of the final phases, or

1033
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 1: at least it used to be. They throw them I

1034
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 1: forget what is. It might be Cambodia. They just throw

1035
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: them in the jungle for a while and see who's

1036
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: just going to be like you know what, I'm out. Yeah,

1037
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: I think some of them. I think those guys do

1038
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in Brunei and all those point.

1039
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: I mean they do. Yeah, I mean the jungle will

1040
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: crush anybody. I mean, but the environment will crush anybody

1041
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: if you're not ready for it. But I always thought

1042
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: the jungle was was the worst. Tell me what are

1043
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: you doing? What are you allowed to tell me? That's sweet?

1044
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: Who goes to Norway guys just sitting on Norway chicks

1045
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: or what? Well, there was some of that. I mean

1046
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: I was in I was in Charlie Company, first to

1047
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: tie at ten Special Forces. We were in Stuttgart. Each

1048
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: fought in stutt Gut for Delhabiaha and so we we

1049
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: actually we did we did ah, we worked. We used

1050
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: to train. We did a lot of j sets. You

1051
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: know what we do. We train with a foreign military guy.

1052
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: So I did, I don't know, and even if I did, well, okay,

1053
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: maybe I do know, but the audience doesn't explain, right,

1054
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: So j A j set is called as a joint

1055
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: combined exercise for training. So you know, depending on like

1056
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: what group you're in and Special Forces, some of those

1057
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: were great, Like when I was in tenth group, we

1058
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: got all the cool ones like Norway and Denmark, you know,

1059
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: and I went to Slovakia because they speak checked. But

1060
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: like if you were and the seventh group guys get

1061
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: to go to like Columbia, and you know, but when

1062
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: you were in the fifth when you were in fifth

1063
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: group years ago before the fund kicked off, you were

1064
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: doing stuff and like Saudi Arabia. So like when you

1065
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 1: went to fifth group, you were bummed. But you know,

1066
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: fifth group and fifth group and third group of you know,

1067
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: they did so much heavy lifting in this uh in

1068
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: this in this late war. But yeah, Norway was cool.

1069
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: We trained with this group called the the FSK, which

1070
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: is they're kind of like they're character terrorist guys and

1071
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,759
Speaker 1: they do a lot of things with um oil rigs,

1072
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, do a lot of maritime stuff. And we

1073
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 1: also were up in this place called Doombus, which was

1074
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: where the first actually American casualty or World War two happened.

1075
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: It was a pilot that got that got shot down,

1076
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: and they have a ceremony there every year. I liked

1077
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: living in Europe. Europe was really cool. Um I think

1078
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 1: they've I think they're in big trouble and for a

1079
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of reasons, as we know, but I mean it's

1080
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 1: a great place. If you haven't been there, and you're

1081
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: an American. It's a good place to go because there's

1082
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: you'll see so much continuity, you know. But I mean

1083
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: every place is cool to a degree. And the girls

1084
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 1: in Scandinavia are they're they're pretty If you're into that thing, yeah, yeah,

1085
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: everybody who's straight is into that thing. All right. What's

1086
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: the coolest Obviously, the coolest thing you can talk about

1087
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: you ever got to do? Was it jumping out of

1088
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: a plane? Was it? I explain what it was? The

1089
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: coolest thing I ever did? Man, that thing you got

1090
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: to do where you thought to yourself or at least

1091
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: something that pops into your mind and you thought to yourself, Dude,

1092
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: I am a commando and this is sweet. Yeah. I

1093
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: think anytime you're getting on a helicopter and it's like

1094
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: two in the morning and you're loaded up and you

1095
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of look at each other and go, holy crap,

1096
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: we're actually doing this, that's a pretty great feeling. I mean,

1097
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, it's I think anybody who's

1098
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: done what we've done you miss that. And it's not

1099
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: that we're adrenaline junkies, but we do. You know, you

1100
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: go through all this training and all the sacrifice, and

1101
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: it sounds it's not like we're war mongers, but our

1102
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: whole goal is to is to test ourselves. And what

1103
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: I missed also the most, honestly every day, because I

1104
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: was a team sergeant in my last few years five

1105
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,560
Speaker 1: years actually in the National Guard Special Forces. I was

1106
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: a senior enlisted guy. So I missed my guys. I missed.

1107
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I missed the dudes more than anything. I think if

1108
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: you talk to most military guys, especially to combat people,

1109
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what I missed. I they were

1110
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: my family, and that's what I missed the most. Not

1111
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: not the cool guys, stuffed cool guys. Stuff was cool,

1112
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,560
Speaker 1: but I miss I missed being around guys. You know

1113
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: what kind of place Jesse and you were, you were

1114
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: in this world? What kind of place can you say?

1115
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: What kind of workplace can you say? We're When you

1116
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: walk to your workplace, everybody in that room will kill

1117
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 1: for you, and everybody in that room will die for you,

1118
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: and they will expect you to do those same things.

1119
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: That's a pretty you can't really imitate that workplace. So

1120
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: when guys get out, they kind of get jammed up

1121
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: because nothing's going to really equal that kind of life.

1122
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: But you just have to find a way to fit in.

1123
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: And what I try to do, I mean, I have

1124
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 1: fun so many my silly TV shows, but like you know,

1125
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: I teach diving and I do stuff with Test Force Dagger,

1126
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: which is a special force of charity. Try to get

1127
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: involved in dog rescue. I tell people, man, if you're

1128
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: having a hard time, and I had a hard time

1129
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: a few years ago when I was getting out of

1130
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: the Army and I was getting divorced, telling me I'm old,

1131
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hold on, life's over. Hold on. We

1132
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: are up against the break here. You know what, screw this,

1133
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm holding you over and you have one more minute

1134
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: to finish this in just a second, okay, one second,

1135
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Terry Shapherd, Green Beret, Hollywood Weapons on the Outdoor Channel.

1136
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 1: We've only got a couple of minutes left as we

1137
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 1: wrapped this up, and we're finally gonna let him go.

1138
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: I want you to take that away real quick for

1139
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,599
Speaker 1: the guys who were struggling real quick. Yeah. Look, man,

1140
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it's you know our whole lives. You were in this

1141
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: world too as a grunt, and you know peer pressure

1142
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: is good. You never want to be that guy that

1143
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: comes in last or is the weak link. And I

1144
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: think guys get jammed up when they get out of

1145
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that world because you know, now you're asked to do

1146
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: things like don't really mean that much, and you're missing

1147
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: that structure. You know. For years, I mean a couple

1148
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: of years ago, I had a hard time. Man. I

1149
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: was getting divorced, I was getting out of the army.

1150
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: I was like, I just turned fifty, I mean, and

1151
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: I was like, all the good years are behind me.

1152
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about kind of ending it. And

1153
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that honestly, it's not something I'm proud of,

1154
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: but I had batted that around and I was up anyway.

1155
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: My point is I talked to people before or who

1156
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: have been in that situation, and all I can tell

1157
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: him is this, look, if you make it about you,

1158
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: you might pull that trigger because it's about you. It's

1159
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: just you're ending the pain and you're ready to go

1160
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. But what I try to

1161
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: tell people is, don't make it about you. You know,

1162
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,719
Speaker 1: think about the people you'll hurt, think about the people

1163
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: who will miss you, and then furthermore, think about what

1164
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: else you can do to make this place fricking better,

1165
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: even if it's a small circle of like rescuing dogs

1166
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: or getting involved with veterans cherries or working in a kitchen.

1167
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Terry Shapherd Man, listen to that. If you're hurting out there,

1168
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: email me Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. Terry

1169
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 1: appreciate you more than you know, my friend. I'll talk

1170
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: to you again soon. Thanks brother, The Jesse Kelly Show.

1171
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show. Chris, it's time to

1172
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 1: have a frank conversation about grocery shopping because there's a

1173
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Japanese mayor got himself in a little bit of hot water.

1174
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: The headline is Japanese mayor says men should go should

1175
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: grocery shop during the pandemic as women take a longer time.

1176
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: Women take quote. Women take a longer time grocery shopping

1177
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: because they browsed through different products and way out which

1178
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: option is best. Matt Sue told reporters at a Coronavirus

1179
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: press conference Nosaka on Thursday. Men quickly grab what they're

1180
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: told to buy, so they won't ling you're at the

1181
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: supermarket that avoids close contact with others. Okay, let's just

1182
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: be clear about something he's one hundred percent right, He's

1183
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: one thousand percent right, and I'm a slave to my stomach.

1184
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: Everybody knows this, but I will tell you full disclosure.

1185
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I love grocery shopping. Now, actually, that's probably not the

1186
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: right way to put that, Chris, I love going to

1187
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: the grocery store in buying food. I don't know if

1188
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: that counts as grocery shopping. And what I mean is,

1189
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't walk into the grocery store with the list

1190
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 1: of things we need and pick out those things. I

1191
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: walk into the grocery store with no plan whatsoever, and

1192
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 1: I just start chucking stuff in the card. I have

1193
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 1: had to learn through the years that probably not the

1194
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: best idea to do that when you're hungry. That's in

1195
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: general a really bad decision. But look, this is how

1196
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: women grocery shop. My wife walks in the grocery store

1197
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: and she has a list, right, and almost everyone has

1198
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: it on their phone. Nowaday, maybe you still have a

1199
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: written outlist. She has a list, You have a list.

1200
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: And where do they go? First? They go over to

1201
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: the produce section. I never even walk into the produce section.

1202
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: Why would I go to the produce section. I'm not

1203
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: a rabbit, but they head over to the produce section.

1204
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: And even something simple like every time I've ever had

1205
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: to bring home produce, like I'll text the wife or

1206
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: give her a call and say, hey, I'm stop at

1207
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the grocery store for cheese sticks on the way home.

1208
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Let me know if you need anything, And it's always

1209
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: something like, please bring home bananas. And anytime I've ever

1210
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 1: brought home produce, it's you got those, And I'm like,

1211
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: what small with them? They're bananas, they're half black. Well,

1212
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: you didn't say anything about about looking for something specific.

1213
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: If you would like something specific when it comes to

1214
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: the bananas, let me know. These are the strawberries you got.

1215
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,600
Speaker 1: There's a moldy one. Well, I didn't open it up

1216
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: and examine every strawberry. You said, grab strawberries. So I

1217
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: grabbed the first thing of strawberries I saw. And then

1218
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: she has the golden yell at me when I teach

1219
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: my sons, the darker the berry, the sweener the juice. Anyway,

1220
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to get sidetracked. Here a woman walks

1221
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: in a grocery store and she walks over the produce

1222
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 1: section and she starts, you know, like I like the strawberries.

1223
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: It is a great example. It's not the first, it's

1224
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: not the second, it's not the third, it's not the fourth,

1225
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: it's not the fifth. It's like the tenth thing of strawberries.

1226
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: She'll finally decide is the right one. Like I said,

1227
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: if you send me to for strawberries, I'm out in

1228
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: five seconds. Quick, decisive strawberries in the basket. Let's get

1229
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: to the good stuff. We're heading for the meats. Let's

1230
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,759
Speaker 1: get some steaks. That steak looks good, get some burger

1231
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: head on over to the cheese. Cruise on down to

1232
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: beer aisle, and see if bud heavies are on sale.

1233
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: I when I grocery shop, and I don't take a

1234
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,719
Speaker 1: long time doing this. But in general, with the exception

1235
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: of the you know, bake goods section, I will go

1236
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 1: up and down every single while I do. I go

1237
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: up and down every single while. Oh let's mysol browse

1238
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the sauces and see what's out there. But I don't

1239
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 1: take a long time. I don't sit in agonize. I

1240
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 1: grab it and I'm gone. If I go to the

1241
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: grocery store for bacon, I'm gonna come out with six

1242
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: or seven items every time I'm gonna come out with

1243
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,799
Speaker 1: some chips. Almost undoubtedly I'm gonna come out with some cheese.

1244
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try a new frozen pizza. The searches always

1245
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: on for the perfect frozen pizza. What, Chris, why are

1246
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: you shaking your head? Are you not a cheese person? Chris? No, No,

1247
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 1: I will not be accused of that. Chris just said

1248
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: I take too long. I do not take too long.

1249
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: I am very fast. The point of this is how

1250
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 1: fast I am. I'm going to grab a bunch of

1251
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: things that we may not quote need, but I do

1252
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: it quickly, I do it decisively. I don't know that

1253
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 1: I've ever spent more than ten or fifteen minutes ever

1254
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: in a grocery store. But women do not. Women walk

1255
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: in there. And granted, you can make the argument they

1256
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: have the burden of having to buy things we actually need.

1257
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 1: It would never even occur to me to look at

1258
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: the paper towels. I just show up at the house

1259
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: and they're already there. I don't know what the big

1260
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: deal is. Women have to get the paper towels, women

1261
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: have to get the butt paper, women have to get

1262
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: all these things. I get it, I get it. They

1263
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: have an extra burden. But they're not as decisive. They're

1264
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: not as decisive, they're gonna agonize over the stray, he said.

1265
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't see why that should be controversial in any way, Chris,

1266
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 1: I really don't. But I'm the superior shopper on top

1267
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: of the burden of need. Women. Women buy the food

1268
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: that keeps them hot. I'm gonna walk away with the

1269
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: newest frozen pizza. The wife's gonna walk away with sushi

1270
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 1: and a leaf of lettuce. That's just the difference. And

1271
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:30,759
Speaker 1: I get that that's the burden of that's the burden

1272
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 1: of being a woman. So let me just tell you, Governor,

1273
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: Mayor Matt Sui of Osaka, I stand with you. You

1274
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: have the support of the Jesse Kelly Show. If I

1275
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: thought you spoke English, I would invite you on so

1276
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: you can say your peace and also us this. Now,

1277
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: what's wrong with laughing about the differences between men and women.

1278
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, apparently there's not much wrong with it, because

1279
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: I've made a career of it. But you know the

1280
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: reason I've made a career it because virtually everyone else

1281
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: is afraid to do it. Virtually everyone else is afraid

1282
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 1: to do it in this day and age. You can

1283
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: even see it all over TV. Oh don't get me wrong.

1284
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: You can make fun of men and put dowlan men

1285
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: until the cows come home. Man are stupid? Man? Are idiots? Men?

1286
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what's all the comedy out there? Now? Guy?

1287
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Stupid guy? This guy that you say one freaking thing

1288
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: about women and the daggon herd of cats comes for you.

1289
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: And I think that's insane. I think it's funny. I

1290
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: think laughing about gender differences is hilarious. I think laughing

1291
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: about cultural differences is hilarious. One of the things I

1292
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 1: missed the most. I mean, you heard Terry Shapherd talk

1293
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: about it earlier. The guys. One of the things I

1294
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: missed the most about the Marine Corps the racial humor.

1295
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Your platoon was full of black dudes

1296
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: and Hispanic dudes. Hey, you got this guy's from Mexico,

1297
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: and this guys from Guam, and this guy's from Kuma,

1298
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: and this guy's from you know, he's from the hood somewhere,

1299
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: and I'm white trash and we all mocked each other

1300
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:09,640
Speaker 1: all the time, and we all loved each other. And

1301
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: I miss that. I miss being able to talk like that.

1302
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: In this day and age, you even bring up something

1303
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 1: like that and everybody, ah, you're a Nazi. You people

1304
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: are idiots. The most racist people I've ever met in

1305
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: my entire life, I mean, genuinely racist people I've ever

1306
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,639
Speaker 1: met my entire life, are these race crusaders. They are

1307
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: he said this about black people, he must be a racist.

1308
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: Look at look at this boardroom. Look at all the

1309
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:46,719
Speaker 1: white people in there. That's somebody with some darkness inside

1310
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: of him, with some evil racist thoughts. And it is

1311
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: a person who genuinely doesn't really care about race that much,

1312
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: would never look at a boardroom full of white people

1313
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 1: and say, m let me count the black people up.

1314
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 1: You know what, there's a couple of black dudes. Not

1315
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 1: very many Hispanics though, I bet you he hates Mexicans.

1316
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh there's only one woman. Clearly he's sexist. That's somebody.

1317
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: That's somebody who's hiding some things. People. The guy who's

1318
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: able to make a funny joke with his buddy, that's

1319
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: the guy with nothing to hide. Remember that, Remember that

1320
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: this is a Jesse Kelly show. Like a stain on

1321
01:27:53,800 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: your brain, you can't get out. Oh good, Apparently we

1322
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: have a meat shortage coming all right. As you can tell,

1323
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,640
Speaker 1: I've kept a daylight lighter today, not a lot of politics,

1324
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: and I will tell you going forward that's going to

1325
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: be a general theme for Friday's shows, full disclosure. It's

1326
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: the end of the week, you especially during these times.

1327
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: I've had a hard week. Lots of times I talk

1328
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: about some hard stuff during the show. You know, I

1329
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: generally keep it lighter. We like to laugh. What else

1330
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: can you do at this point in time, But we've

1331
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,280
Speaker 1: got to hit some heavy stuff now and then when

1332
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 1: the week end finally gets here, who wants to be

1333
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: beat over the face with more reality again? I mean,

1334
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: everybody needs a little escape now and then. It's what

1335
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: made me so mad about the NFL Draft last night, Chris,

1336
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: did you watch in the NFL Draft? Well, the NFL

1337
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: Draft is a big deal. It's not a small thing.

1338
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,799
Speaker 1: The NFL Draft consistently, the ratings for it, the television

1339
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: ratings for it, will beat virtually every NBA game throughout

1340
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 1: the year. The NFL Draft is gigantic because the NFL's gigantic,

1341
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: and we haven't had any sports in a long time.

1342
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: And now I understand that Adam Schefter got in trouble

1343
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: last night because he said we finally have sports again,

1344
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: and then all the Feminazis came after him and he

1345
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 1: had to put like a response that I'm sorry, I forgot.

1346
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: We had the w NBA Draft, but we haven't had

1347
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: any sports in a while. Sitting around with the fam

1348
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,679
Speaker 1: last night, I mean, everyone's basically locked inside. You can't

1349
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: knock off, go out to red lobster, something nice, and

1350
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 1: so sports were coming on? Did I tell the fam,

1351
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: let's watch the draft. It's something right And I always

1352
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: enjoy the NFL Draft. Remember, I love a rags to

1353
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 1: riches story, and I love seeing these guys have their

1354
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 1: dreams come true. I think it's cool. Except for everyone

1355
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:28,680
Speaker 1: who went to Michigan, but that's another story. I think

1356
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: it's cool watching people have their dreams come true. I'm like,

1357
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 1: let's you know what I tell the wife, Hey, we

1358
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: have been braged by bad news for a month and

1359
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,440
Speaker 1: a half now we all have, haven't we It's coronavirus,

1360
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:48,679
Speaker 1: this death, that freaking depression. It's just it's at schools, kids,

1361
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's you don't have to look hard to find

1362
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,559
Speaker 1: bad news out there right now, you just don't. Yes, finally,

1363
01:30:55,640 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 1: get some sports. Now, sports used to understand. They used

1364
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 1: to understand that they were an escape. Sports is an escape.

1365
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Watching sports is nothing more than entertainment. The smart athletes,

1366
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: the smart general managers, coaches, the smart commissioners of the

1367
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 1: league's understood that Daniel Stearn was the commissioner of the

1368
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: NBA when Michael Jordan was there. He and Jordan both

1369
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 1: very very much understood, Yes, basketball is important. It's kind

1370
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: of about basketball. This is entertainment for people. People want

1371
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:41,360
Speaker 1: to be entertained, They want to see Michael Jordan fly,

1372
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: they want to buy Michael Jordan posters, going to a

1373
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls gamer, watching it on TV was a family event.

1374
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: Why because it wasn't work. It wasn't politics, it wasn't

1375
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: the newest war, it wasn't anything. Sports is a two

1376
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 1: or three hour get away in your life. And that's good.

1377
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 1: It's important, compartmentalize, shut things down, get away. That's what

1378
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. Now, those lines have been sadly

1379
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 1: blurred severely over the years, especially recently. You heard Aubrey Huff,

1380
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,640
Speaker 1: that World Series pitcher who was on our show a

1381
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: couple days ago, talk about it. A lot of that

1382
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 1: social media. These players all want to be their own brand.

1383
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of money to be made there.

1384
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:33,600
Speaker 1: A lot of that is simple leftism. Leftists do not

1385
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: view you will hear me say this endlessly. Leftists do

1386
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 1: not view anything where they aren't and say to themselves, ah,

1387
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 1: let's let that go. That is not how they view life.

1388
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:52,640
Speaker 1: It is a dominating religion. Leftism is a religion. It

1389
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:56,440
Speaker 1: is not a political philosophy, and it is one of domination.

1390
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,799
Speaker 1: There are different philosophies, different religions out there that believed

1391
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: different things. Leftism believes I must control at all. And

1392
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: they infected sports. They're everywhere. Now everything is the new

1393
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: social justice this and leftist that, and I'm going to

1394
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 1: endorse Hillary Clinton and it's it's all that. So that's

1395
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: a lot of it. And I forgot that last night, Chris,

1396
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 1: when I decided we were going to watch the NFL Draft,

1397
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that. I said, who, you know what, Oh, finally,

1398
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: let's just stop talking about and stop hearing about the

1399
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:37,400
Speaker 1: coronavirus for five seconds. Let's stop talking about the economy

1400
01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: for five seconds. Let's hear some sports. I want to

1401
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 1: watch college football highlights while they talk about the next

1402
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: draft guy. I want to watch quarterbacks throwing darts, defensive

1403
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: lineman best bench pressing a house. I want to watch

1404
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers run like the wind blows. I just I

1405
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: just want a couple hours of football, man. And the

1406
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 1: first fifteen minutes I counted. I'm not making this up.

1407
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't one, it wasn't two, it wasn't three, it

1408
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:16,680
Speaker 1: wasn't four, it wasn't five. The first fifteen minutes of

1409
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: the NFL draft coverage, the first sports we've had, was

1410
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 1: all about coronavirus. Stay inside, make sure you're wearing a mask.

1411
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Let's honor these healthcare people. Let's honor these healthcare people.

1412
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: Have you heard about this nurse. Have you heard about

1413
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 1: that nurse. This is a time of crisis. We have

1414
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 1: a crisis here. And you may be saying to yourself, Jessie,

1415
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 1: that's nice. They were honoring it. Nobody tuned into the

1416
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: NFL Draft to see them honor anybody or talk about coronavirus.

1417
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 1: I tuned in to see sports and escaped that specifically, specifically,

1418
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: I tuned into escape that. That's why I'm there. It

1419
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: would be like posting a nagging wife on the t

1420
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: box of the golf course every Saturday morning. The reason

1421
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm there is to get away from that, not me specifically,

1422
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 1: but that's probably you. Let people escape, Let people get away.

1423
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't need you to be an activist. And not

1424
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: only that, I don't want you to be an activist.

1425
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: And it's not just me. If it was just me,

1426
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter. The people don't want it. I don't

1427
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: want to see activism, even for a good cause, even

1428
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: for coronavirus this or coronavirus that. What have I told you?

1429
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 1: What do I tell you all the time? Take the

1430
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: temperature of the room. Learn to take the temperature of

1431
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:59,639
Speaker 1: the room. Timing is everything. You can have your little

1432
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: fl infomercial on coronavirus. You can have doctor Fauci get

1433
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 1: up and speak like of course he had to speak

1434
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: last night. I can't even escape freaking doctor Fauci when

1435
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: I tune into the draft. You can do all those

1436
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:21,519
Speaker 1: things at another time. This was the country's one escape

1437
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 1: from all this disaster. When it comes to sports, this

1438
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,840
Speaker 1: was the one sports escape we've had in two months.

1439
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,759
Speaker 1: Everything else is canceled, everything else has been taken away,

1440
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 1: and you couldn't let people have it and that is

1441
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: the kind of idiotic bubble thinking that has divided the country.

1442
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: And you can yell at me all you want. The

1443
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 1: presidents as guilty of it as anybody else. Right now,

1444
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 1: you remember when he blasted the Georgia governor for opening

1445
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: up yesterday publicly kneecapped the governor of Georgia who said,

1446
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:58,960
Speaker 1: my people were starving, we have to get back to work.

1447
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: He just did it again this morning by tweet. He

1448
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: just kneecapped somebody trying to get his people back to work.

1449
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: Learn to take the temperature of the room. America is

1450
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 1: not New York City. New York City. They are getting

1451
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 1: wiped out. They are suffering from a pandemic. It's important

1452
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: we should care. That's not all of America. My word

1453
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:07,800
Speaker 1: joining me now to talk about, well, the devastation. I

1454
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 1: don't have a better way to put it, I don't

1455
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 1: have a sonnier way to put it either. Tyler Grant,

1456
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: he's a writer and a lawyer. You can see him

1457
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: on Fox Business and Washington Examiner. Tyler, this is a

1458
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: great piece. You have out explain what you're talking about.

1459
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: The piece is called Pandemics and power everybody. By the way,

1460
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: you can read it on Washington Examiner. Explain what you're

1461
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: talking about, pandemics and power good be with you again,

1462
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: talking Yeah. I wrote a piece in the magazine this

1463
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: week for the DC Examiner that is about how the

1464
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: Chinese One Belton Road initiative, which is this initiative that

1465
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 1: they've put in place in the twenty thirteen that Shi

1466
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 1: Jing thing has championed, which is an idea that he

1467
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 1: wants to connect over sixty five different countries using different

1468
01:38:55,040 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: types of infrastructure projects and resource accumulation projects. And what

1469
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: this has manifested itself in is different structured and credit

1470
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: facilities with different countries, different lenders across you know, every

1471
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: time then with the exception of our country obviously to

1472
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 1: acquire ports, acquire different types of roads, highways, a different

1473
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 1: solar panel, different types of minerals that they're hoping to acquire.

1474
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,680
Speaker 1: And what my piece is basically talking about is the

1475
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: recept this global recession that we're in and we're going

1476
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,560
Speaker 1: to spiral down even further than I can even imagine,

1477
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: is going to lead to our national security problems for

1478
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 1: a variety of reasons. The main one is is that

1479
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: when they're underlying borrowers and because of these underlying assets

1480
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 1: can perform on the assets. So for example, if you

1481
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: give a highway that's a toll road and people aren't

1482
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,639
Speaker 1: on the road because they're told to stay home, assets

1483
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: going to underperform. And if the asset doesn't perform and

1484
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:01,679
Speaker 1: meet certain benchmarks and project finding thing, you can't continue

1485
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 1: to build on the road. And then the collateral for

1486
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: the underlying credit facility is the road itself. And so

1487
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,160
Speaker 1: that the Chinese decides, you know, hey, we want to

1488
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: just take over the asset, they can take over the asset,

1489
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 1: which is what happened in Sri Lanka. So they took

1490
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 1: control of a seaport on a ninety nine year lease

1491
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: with the government and a bunch of acres around it.

1492
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: And that is something that is very real world. You

1493
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 1: could happen to a lot of different credit facilities because

1494
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: if I'm already seen in my line of work for

1495
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 1: people are having to restructure their debt and lenders are

1496
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 1: typically pretty accommodating by saying, you know, we'll take a

1497
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: COVID break and then you know, we'll come back next

1498
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: year and maybe we'll amend and have a higher interest rate.

1499
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: And that's the way that we'll make the facility work.

1500
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: But if the lenders wanted to just say no, I'm sorry,

1501
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: like we're gonna just gonna take control of the asset,

1502
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: like they can do that in the Chinese beating the Chinese,

1503
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,640
Speaker 1: there's no one, at least no early indication that they

1504
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 1: won't do that, because they have shown that they would

1505
01:40:56,520 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 1: do that. Why does China want ports? Well, I mean,

1506
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: as we saw with the trade war, as we saw

1507
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: with our own supply team problems. I mean President Trump

1508
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:11,599
Speaker 1: goes on TV every night talking about our supply team

1509
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 1: problems and how different American companies during the trade war

1510
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 1: and had to pivot. There's supply teams because a lot

1511
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: of it is relying on the Chinese, and so that

1512
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,640
Speaker 1: they had the ability to control all of those, it

1513
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 1: makes our alternatives, you know, significantly lower because we have

1514
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:30,960
Speaker 1: to do with the journeys in some way, makes their

1515
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:34,679
Speaker 1: leverage in global trade, you know, much much higher because

1516
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot of these a lot of these ports and

1517
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,759
Speaker 1: a lot of these uh you know, the transport vehicles,

1518
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 1: the transport containers, all the different ways that we get

1519
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 1: our stuff, you know, own all of that stuff. Their

1520
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: their bargaining position is you know, much much higher than

1521
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 1: our own. What's Belton Road mean? Where? Where? Where do

1522
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: they get? I've heard this before? What does that mean?

1523
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,439
Speaker 1: What is this initiative? Where do it come from? So

1524
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 1: it came from the musclehoods, three of them A little

1525
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm a little fuzz young like the actual origins of

1526
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: the name. I mean, I think the translation of it

1527
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:09,080
Speaker 1: is something from you know, the old kind of silk

1528
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 1: road idea. And I'm not exactly sure where the belt

1529
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 1: the belt comes in, but I can, I'll belt and

1530
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 1: I'll send it to but uh, but yeah, I mean

1531
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: it's this idea that Cheating Pains had been. It's from

1532
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 1: a you know, a concept that you know, Mao had

1533
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 1: always had where you know, you went trying to be

1534
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 1: the center of the world, and the world the one

1535
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: China is where the world cons finds its gravocational pull,

1536
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 1: and so allowing all of the world supply lens to

1537
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 1: flow from China into China makes the position, you know,

1538
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: their bargaining position, not just as a global superpower, but

1539
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,799
Speaker 1: as an economic superpower. I've I've been making this argument

1540
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: that people need to be a lot more worried about

1541
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 1: China than they are as the Western nations shoot their

1542
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 1: own economies in the back of the head China. That's

1543
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a dream scenario for China. And people

1544
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: come back at me and say, what, China's Chinese economy

1545
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 1: is hurting too, Are they not hurting as bad as

1546
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 1: we are? Well, it's it's tough to know, because you know,

1547
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 1: they expelled a lot of the American journals. I think CNN,

1548
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, they apologize and I think CNN got back

1549
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: in there. But you know, a lot of the Western

1550
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: reporters were outed after you know, after COVID and than

1551
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,639
Speaker 1: the Foreign Minister thinking that the Trump administration was pushing false,

1552
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: a fire narratives about what was actually happening on the

1553
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: ground in China, which is, you know, it's frankly not

1554
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: true because any report that was coming out of Wulam

1555
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: was saying that it was a much more serious issue

1556
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: than what was being reported by official numbers. So but

1557
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't again, like you I've had this discussion before,

1558
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand Western journalists desire to, you know, in

1559
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: any way make it seem as if the Chinese or

1560
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 1: are doing you know, well, are doing humanitarian efforts in

1561
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: order to like you know, they like they caused this.

1562
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: This is what this is correctly from China. It's originated

1563
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 1: in China, and I don't know why we choose to

1564
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:07,720
Speaker 1: uncover for them. I mean, as we've discussed before, I mean,

1565
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:11,320
Speaker 1: they're underlying economic problems. We're already tremendous and then have

1566
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 1: a huge population. They have a tough time getting everybody

1567
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 1: to work. Their infrastructure projects are one way of which

1568
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: they were offshoring some of their labor by sending Chinese

1569
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 1: nationals to Africa and different parts of the world to

1570
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: participate in these infrastructure projects. Obviously, with work gone to zero,

1571
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean some of that is some of that is

1572
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 1: frustrated and unstore with their their ability to really manage

1573
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 1: their own population. You know, it's much better than than

1574
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: it is, you know, outside of what you've seen. Just

1575
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 1: be like stay at home for fourteen days, which is

1576
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: what they did because the whole country for that the

1577
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:46,719
Speaker 1: whole country, but the whole whole and proviments stayed inside

1578
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,560
Speaker 1: in their own apartments homes for fourteen days and the

1579
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: government delivered them food and pulled them out of their

1580
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: their house, department whatever if they had any symptoms on

1581
01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 1: daily checks that the government would come and do, so

1582
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: we just don't have that ability. So I'm sure they're

1583
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: they're handling now is probably a little better than how

1584
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: we handle it, and they'll slowly come out of their recovery.

1585
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: But they already had fundamental functioning economic problems before all

1586
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: of this, with you know how looming housing crisis. They

1587
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,719
Speaker 1: just falsify their numbers and reports, and you know, American

1588
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,240
Speaker 1: investors are willing to go with those numbers because you know,

1589
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:24,639
Speaker 1: they're beholding the shareholders or investors and thinking that those

1590
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 1: numbers are good. When when the underlying assets ultimately have

1591
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: to fail or someone comes in and inspects and values

1592
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 1: those assets and realizing is that they're worth nothing. These

1593
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,760
Speaker 1: financial instruments are going to be like I mean, they're

1594
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,360
Speaker 1: going to be valueless. So I mean that that day

1595
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 1: will come. It just it just depends on when they

1596
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 1: stop lying to us and the fact that we continue

1597
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: to go in bed with you know, the Chinese government

1598
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: and the CCP, who is more than excited to you know,

1599
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 1: dupe American journalists. I just don't understand. We've only got

1600
01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 1: about a minute left here, Tyler, but we just passed,

1601
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: or we're about to pass a new five hundred billion

1602
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 1: dollars stimulus bill. Can we print our money to get

1603
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 1: out of this whole mess? You know, I just I

1604
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:11,599
Speaker 1: guess it helps with the value of the dollar being

1605
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: what it is. But at a certain point, I don't

1606
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: know where the market doesn't reassess this, and we go

1607
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: into a hyper inflation scenario and the dollar relative to

1608
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:25,599
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. The rest of the world

1609
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,639
Speaker 1: pull out of this faster and they can go back

1610
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: to work. I don't know how our dollar doesn't just

1611
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 1: pluming to be worth nothing. Not to mention the socio

1612
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 1: economic impacts where you know, you know, guys like us,

1613
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: we you know, we think about these things for you know,

1614
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 1: partially for a living. I mean the people the guy

1615
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 1: that goes to work every day and waste tables. I

1616
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: don't know how he's not like, well, if you guys

1617
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 1: can just give me fifteen hundred dollars a month, why

1618
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: don't you just give me fifteen hundred dollars a month.

1619
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 1: I know, I'll just be a painter or something. I

1620
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 1: don't but I don't know how you put that idea

1621
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: back in the box after you've pulled it out, Because

1622
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: if you know, the people that are looking at this like, well,

1623
01:46:58,400 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 1: what the government's always been able to do this? Like

1624
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 1: guys like Andrew Yang, How is that guy not a

1625
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,680
Speaker 1: crazy person? And was you know, actually on the nose here?

1626
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see, oh Tyler go raid his stuff

1627
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 1: in the Washington Examiner. I appreciate you, my friend, very much. Yeah,

1628
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: it sounds good. Sucky sin, Chris. There's anything I love

1629
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 1: in this life. It's being right except for this time. Anga.

1630
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: Oh God on that him on inside of me? Yes, yes, Kelly,

1631
01:47:37,840 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: don't listening to the Jesse Kelly show. I said this

1632
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:13,320
Speaker 1: last month, March twenty eight. It's written down, it's recorded.

1633
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 1: You can go. Look. As I was trying trying to

1634
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:27,640
Speaker 1: sound the alarm on the economic damage, it's doing the

1635
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 1: best I could. I tried to explain to everybody because

1636
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 1: it's easy to have it's easy to get trapped in

1637
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:43,679
Speaker 1: a disconnect. It's easy to separate yourself from everything, from

1638
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: from whatever the major news is of the day. But

1639
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 1: what if I were to get on here every single

1640
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: day and talk about Iran for three hours? I bring

1641
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,040
Speaker 1: up you right now, and then every now and then

1642
01:48:55,080 --> 01:49:00,160
Speaker 1: they do something interesting, but you would tune out, and

1643
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame you for tuning out, And you know

1644
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 1: why you would tune out, because that doesn't affect you.

1645
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: You can't connect it to you, to place you'll never visit.

1646
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 1: It's a place you'll go a week or two without

1647
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 1: the name even entering your mind unless it pops up

1648
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: on social media or something. So I don't don't talk

1649
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,560
Speaker 1: about it. A lot doesn't affect me. And when this

1650
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 1: virus broke out and lockdowns, shutting things down became, you know,

1651
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:44,720
Speaker 1: something that we were doing as a nation, which mortified me.

1652
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 1: But we were doing these shutdowns and we're gonna shut this,

1653
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna shut that, and you can't open, and you

1654
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 1: can't open, and that this is an order, and you

1655
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, get off that paddle board and all these

1656
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:57,800
Speaker 1: other things, these insane things you were doing. Part of

1657
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 1: the alarm I was sounding was you are going to

1658
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 1: feel this, not the company next door, not New York,

1659
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 1: not DC, not LA, not that other state over there,

1660
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: not that other town over there. You personally, you are

1661
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 1: going to feel this, and it's going to hurt. And

1662
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:33,519
Speaker 1: just because it hasn't touched you yet, that doesn't mean

1663
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: it's not coming. When you take a twenty trillion dollar economy,

1664
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 1: and you slam it into a wall, everyone will feel it.

1665
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 1: And I tried to get the point across that you

1666
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: need to be taking this the shutdowns, not the virus,

1667
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 1: the shutdowns a lot more personally than you think you should,

1668
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 1: because it's coming for you. It's coming for you. It's

1669
01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 1: coming for the things that you care about. It is,

1670
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 1: it is, and it's coming. New headline out today, Meet

1671
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: shortages are coming. Why would MEET shortages come, Jesse, I

1672
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:25,240
Speaker 1: don't understand that the restaurants are open, the grocery stores

1673
01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:36,440
Speaker 1: are selling. Hotels have restaurants too, post bars have restaurants

1674
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: too close that restaurant of yours, that's well, I don't

1675
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 1: understand they're still doing take out. You understand this that

1676
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:49,639
Speaker 1: a restaurant in general runs on five to ten percent

1677
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 1: profit margins. A restaurant, a smart one, one that's going

1678
01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 1: to last, will actually they track this stuff. They will

1679
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: actually track how much silverware they use because or lose,

1680
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 1: I should say, because the profit margins are that close.

1681
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: Restaurants are not made of money. There's not some magic

1682
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: ferry in the back just handing out food and supplies.

1683
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:22,559
Speaker 1: They run on profit margins. A restaurant plans for running

1684
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 1: at capacity, especially during peak times, and needs it. You know,

1685
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 1: a restaurant may make sixty percent of its profit on

1686
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 1: a Friday and Saturday night. They know, okay, well, I

1687
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 1: am Joe's Mexican Food. I have to be full on

1688
01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:39,640
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday night and that alone will get me

1689
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: enough to that I make a profit at the end.

1690
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: That's how restaurants run. Just because your restaurants are still

1691
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 1: open doing takeout, they're making a fraction of what they

1692
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: used to make. They're simply trying, all of them. They're

1693
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: trying to keep the lights on until they're allowed to

1694
01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:04,880
Speaker 1: open again. And even then, if you tell them they

1695
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 1: have to take away half the tables in their restaurant,

1696
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 1: they might be done. That's reality. And I told you

1697
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 1: a month ago. Your church, your synagogue, it's gonna feel

1698
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 1: it and it might be going away. Jesse, that's just

1699
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 1: fear buggering. You can't. How does your church stay open, buddy?

1700
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: Your church stays open by your tithing. What aren't you

1701
01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: doing as much of now? You're not going to church,

1702
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 1: even if you're doing it online. How's your income you're

1703
01:53:50,040 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 1: tithing what you used to churches run on budgets too.

1704
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 1: We know we're gonna make this this Sunday and this

1705
01:53:55,280 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: this Sunday, and it's gone. That church building oneen free either.

1706
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 1: Start letting the president know now that he needs he

1707
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 1: needs to stop encouraging these shutdowns or virus or no virus.

1708
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:46,040
Speaker 1: It's coming for you. Start letting your voice be heard.

1709
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 1: The President of the United States is all over social media.

1710
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 1: He exists on Twitter. He is there. We know for

1711
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 1: a fact. Don't ask me how I know. I just

1712
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: know he reads it. He reads a lot of the

1713
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 1: things you say. For the first time in your lifetime,

1714
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 1: you you personally have access to the President of the

1715
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 1: United States of America. Let him know he needs to know.

1716
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 1: If you missed any part of the show today, any

01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 1: keep on churning and burning. Will do it again Monday.

1728
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: That's all. This is a Jesse Kelly Show. You don't

1729
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:34,920
Speaker 1: have to dip forever. You know that right. You don't

1730
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 1: have to smoke forever. And the reason I say it

1731
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:41,040
Speaker 1: like that is I have been that guy. I've been

1732
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: that guy. I dipped for so long, and what would

1733
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,720
Speaker 1: happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad

1734
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:47,760
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, I don't

1735
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 1: need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. And

1736
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 1: I would fail time and time and time again. I

1737
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 1: tried things like the patch that didn't work, gum of

1738
01:56:57,080 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter

1739
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

1740
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 1: Jake's mintchew. Go put in your dip. Just make sure
