We are doing a special 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of Medal of Honor Monday only. I guess 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: it's not that Medal of Honor Wednesday either way. Couple 9 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: gentlemen last night, couple beasts. They had already earned the 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor, and last night they got it draped 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: around their necks. And I thought it would be appropriate 12 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: since the citations are now publicly available, to read said 13 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor citation, and so let's do the first one. 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: The first one is the helicopter pilot guy. I mean, 15 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: you remember when we went into Caracas in the middle 16 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: of the night. You roll your ars when you speak Spanish. Christ, 17 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: when we went into Karakas in the middle of the night, 18 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: we didn't lose a man, right, it was flawless. It 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: was flawless, but they were shooting back and we did 20 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: have people hit. Now, imagine taking one bullet in the legs. One, 21 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: you got shot in the leg. Imagine the pain. I mean, 22 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: when's the last time you stubbed your toe or hit 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: your shin on something. Now, imagine taking a bullet in 24 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: your leg. Now, imagine taking multiple bullets in your leg, 25 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: and you can't lay down and call for mommy. You 26 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: are flying a helicopter and you continue to fly it masterfully. 27 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Mister eric A.

But there is 62 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: one last living legend to honor before we go. He 63 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 3: is one more heroic American Avia Navy fighter pilot Royce 64 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: Williams served in World War II Korea Vietnam, flying more 65 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: than two hundred and twenty missions in disguise over Korea. 66 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: In nineteen fifty two, Royce was in the dogfight of 67 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 3: a lifetime legendary dog fight.

His story was secret 74 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: for over fifty years. He didn't even want to tell 75 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 3: his wife, but the legend grew and grew. But tonight, 76 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 3: at one hundred years old, this brave Navy captain is 77 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was alleged long 78 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: before this evening.

On the eighteenth 87 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: of November nineteen fifty two, while leading a division of 88 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: three fighter jets, three jet fighters attached to Fighter Squadrons 89 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighty one and embarked on the USS 90 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Oriscani that was the name of the naval ship they 91 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: took off from. While flying a combat patrol mission over 92 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the northeastern coastal waters of enemy held North Korea, Lieutenant 93 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Williams demonstrated extraordinary heroism by intercepting a superior force of 94 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: attacking enemy MiG fifteen fighters in order to protect the 95 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: ships of Task Force seventy seven. After thwarting the enemy's 96 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: initial attack, he maneuvered his aircraft to make two firing 97 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: passes on one MiG, which then spiraled into the sea. 98 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: He inflicted heavy damage to a second MiG fifteen, which 99 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: started smoking badly, and retired from the fight. When his 100 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: own aircraft was severely damaged by a direct hit from 101 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: one of the remaining enemy MiG fifteen's. Lieutenant Williams evaded 102 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: further enemy attack while continuing to direct the dog fight. 103 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: He eventually found cover in a cloud bank, broke off 104 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: the engagement, and miraculously landed his nearly uncontrollable aircraft on 105 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: the USS Oriskani. His exceptional airmanship, coupled with his complete 106 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: disregard for his own personal safety, resulted in the destruction 107 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: of three enemy MiG fifteens and severe damage to a fourth, 108 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: and undoubtedly saved the lives of hundreds of Task fourteen 109 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: seventies Task Force seventy seven sailors. By his undaunted courage, 110 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: bold initiative, and total devotion to duty, Lieutenant Williams reflected 111 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of 112 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: the US United States Naval Service. That was freakin' special. 113 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: That was special. He lived to be one hundred, and 114 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: we don't have hardly we don't have many World War 115 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: two veterans left World War Two Korea, Vietnam. Imagine dedicating 116 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: so much of your life to fighting for this country. 117 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: You actually make it to one hundred years old, And that, 118 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: in and of itself, it's not just impressive, it's difficult. 119 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: I know a couple people, not quite one hundred, but 120 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: in their nineties, solidly in their nineties, and I'll tell 121 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: you they're sad a lot because everyone they know dies that. 122 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: You don't have any friends left, you don't have any 123 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: siblings left, everyone's dead. It's so rare to make it 124 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: that old. But this guy made it to one hundred 125 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: years old. And he gets a phone call one day, Hey, 126 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: we need to put you on a plane to Washington, 127 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: DC because somebody heard about what you did in Korea 128 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: over seventy years ago. And you're going to earn the 129 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor. Is that not just the coolest thing 130 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: in the world. And Milania Donald Trump's wife, obviously Milania 131 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: Trump was the one who strapped it to his neck. 132 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: That's really really cool. It was an awesome moment. It 133 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: was a night of many, many awesome moments, the introduction 134 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: of the hockey team, and of course making Democrats look 135 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: stupid and and all the other things I love so much. 136 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: But he saved that one to the end. I mean, 137 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Trump's such a showman. He knows what he's doing. He 138 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: saved that one to the end. And man, gotta be honest, 139 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: the old Oracle with his frosty heart almost got a 140 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: little choked up. I said almost. Okay, I didn't get 141 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: choked up, but it was like someone was cutting onions 142 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: there for a minute. Anyway, or do some emails next. 143 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. 144 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: You're welcome.

But you know, I haven't traditionally 150 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: been much of a cigar guy, kind of one of 151 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: those once every three years at a golf outing type thing. 152 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: But I had a couple in the month of December, 153 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: I think it was or January. One was New Year's Eve. 154 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,479 Speaker 1: Decide to have a cigar. I think it looks very distinguished. 155 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's very healthy though. So last night 156 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: for the State of the Union address. You know I've 157 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: told you my mentor is Michael Berry.

What what is funny, Chris? 167 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: I think a couple times on accident, I inhaled it 168 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: and that was really really harsh, and then it went 169 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: up my own my nose one time, and I feel 170 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: like my nose is what Chris? My nose is still 171 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: burning a little bit. I hope I didn't get cancer. 172 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: What what is it do? I think cigars maybe aren't 173 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: for me. No, I have to be a cigar guy. 174 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: I have to. I want to be. I want to 175 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: be that guy with a what's that thing? They keep 176 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: him in? Chris? It starts with an a uh, starts 177 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: with an h u A Lewinsky, Now a what Chris? 178 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: We can make jokes? A humid or A humid or? 179 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: I want a humidor? I nice one, one that's a 180 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: nice And I want to be I want to have 181 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: one of those things where they clip off the end 182 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: of it, one of the clip thingies. I saw a 183 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: mob movie once where a guy used that to clip 184 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: people's fingers off, and I've wanted one ever since. Not 185 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: that I wanted to use it for that purpose, but 186 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: I think it would be cool to have one. There's 187 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: something manly about it, and I want to start being 188 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: more of a cigar guy. I just don't want it 189 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: to go up my nose anymore. And I'm doing a 190 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of coughing and throat clearing today 191 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: and I stunk when I got home. I walked in 192 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: and AD was all, Oh my gosh, you smell like 193 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: an ashtrak what Chris. But Chris said, if I thought 194 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: about a pipe, here's my plan, because I have thought 195 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: about a pipe. My plan is I'm going to I'm 196 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: going to be a cigar guy until there's no more 197 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: color in my at all. I mean, it's already going gray, 198 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: but clearly I have some years left until it's full 199 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: out Santa Claus. As soon as it's full out Santa Claus, 200 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm switching over to a pipe and I'm gonna be 201 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be that guy. I feel like this is 202 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: a great plan. Bob didn't seem that supportive of it 203 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: when I when I mentioned it, and the boys already 204 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: are acting like I'm Keith Richards because I've had three 205 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: cigars in their lifetimes. I'm getting lectured by the boys. 206 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: A Dan, that's terrible for you, Damn as if I 207 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: need lectured by my sons. But I'm a cigar guy now. 208 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know what specific kinds of cigars they were, 209 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: but they were they were brown, and they were delicious. 210 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: Kind of, I'm kind of. It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. 211 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: It's not my preferred vintage but it wasn't it wasn't bad. Jesse, 212 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Please explain the difference in the views on the filibuster, 213 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: and they're pros and cons. We have a filibuster because 214 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: we were never supposed to be a majority rule country. 215 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: The Founders wanted it to be difficult to pass laws. 216 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: They didn't want fifty one senators to rule the United 217 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: States of America, so they said, no, you need sixty 218 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: votes to pass a law. That's what they said. Now, 219 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: if you end the filibuster, that would mean that you 220 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: can pass any law you want with fifty one votes. 221 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: That's what the whole argument is about. And the right 222 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: is confused on this, and understandably so, because there are 223 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: many people on the right who say, Democrats they're going 224 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: to end the filibuster if they ever take back the Senate, 225 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: and they're going to pass every law imaginable, and that's 226 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: probably correct. Remember the Democrats thought about ending the filibuster before, 227 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: and there were Democrat senators, a couple of them, like 228 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Kristen Cinema, who stopped them, and then she lost. She's 229 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: not in the sidate anymore because she stopped Democrats. So 230 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: they got rid of the Democrats who were stopping them. 231 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: So the people who say Democrats are going to do it, 232 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: we better do it first, they're probably accurate. The problem 233 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: we're in is this. You can say something like the 234 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Save Act sounds good. Have you tracked down fifty one 235 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: votes for the Save Act? We don't even have Bench 236 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: Peccano on board. We can't get everyone on board. If 237 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: you told me we had the votes, I'd say, okay, hey, 238 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: well maybe that's something we should go ahead and do. 239 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: But we have a bunch of losers in the GOP. 240 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: We can't pass a good law with these dorks running things. 241 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: So if you can't pass a good law, what's the 242 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: point ending the filibuster that's done? Know what the point 243 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: would be? All right? Carol Roth is gonna join us next. 244 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you about everything from consumer spending to 245 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: student loan debt to cheeseburgers, that everything else. Hang on, 246 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a 247 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: fantastic Wednesday. I remember, if you miss a single second, 248 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: you will die. You have to download it on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. 249 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: Joining me now, as you can probably guess by the music, 250 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: is my friend recovering former investment banker Carol Roth. Okay, Carol, 251 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: tell me about these cheeseburgers we were talking about earlier. 252 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 4: All right, Jesse, Well, when you think about innovation, remember 253 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 4: one keep talking about AI. But I contend that the 254 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 4: greatest innovation of twenty twenty six is something I saw 255 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 4: when I was watching some sports on television. Basically, it's 256 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 4: a cheeseburger that they've cut in half and they've placed 257 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 4: on a platter of sizzling caso, so that like each 258 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 4: half of the burger is just sitting in the caso. 259 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 4: And I just feel like, in terms of American innovation, 260 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 4: that we're really picking up the paste, because why have 261 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 4: we not thought about that sooner? It's like the greatest 262 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 4: invention of all time. 263 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: Gosh, I love this country. So true story Carol, TGI 264 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Fridays and I don't know if they still exist anymore. 265 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: I almost stabbed the guy with the fok and TGI 266 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: Fridays one time, But that's another story. They used to 267 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: have a cheeseburger where they put a round like a 268 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: hockey puck shaped mozzarella stick on top of it and 269 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: then served it with the cup of kso and you 270 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: dipped it it was like the and the word cheese. 271 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: Was it it like ten times the extra cheesy cheesy 272 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: crunch burger or something, one of the great restaurant cheeseburgers 273 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: I've ever had in my life. 274 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's ahead of its time, obviously, but 275 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 4: now in twenty twenty six, it is the time. It's 276 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 4: the return. And I'm telling you this is a sizzling 277 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: I think it's actually Applebee's. Maybe it's a sizzling platter 278 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 4: of just like bubbling cheese with the sides of the burgers, 279 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 4: so you don't even have to do anything. You don't 280 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 4: have to, like, you know, take it up and dip 281 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 4: it and be all neat, like it's already there for 282 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 4: you for the taking. 283 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: I've been telling people about Applebee's not to sleep on 284 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: it for a long time. Their chicken wings are underrated 285 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: chicken faha. To roll up, all right, we have to focus, Carol. 286 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: In fact, I want to stay right there. I want 287 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: you to tell me about consumer spending, because we see 288 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: consumer spending solid, consumer spending solid, and then then the 289 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: next breath you pick up an article and found out, 290 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: wait a minute, it's the top ten percent of wage journals, 291 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: which begs. The question is no one else spending. Are 292 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: people broke? 293 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 4: So it depends on which people. If you are an 294 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: asset holder in this country, if you're somebody with a 295 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 4: four to oh one k and you're taking advantage of 296 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 4: near highs in the stock market and you've got a 297 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 4: house that's increased in equity, you're feeling pretty good and 298 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 4: you're going out and spending. Funny enough, if you are 299 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 4: making over six figures a year, you're going out and 300 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 4: you're spending at Walmart because that's who's been driving their 301 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 4: incremental growth at sales at Walmart are people who make 302 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 4: at least six figures a year. So the people who 303 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 4: are doing well, that have the high paying jobs, that 304 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: are holding the assets, those people are feeling great. However, 305 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 4: if you're somebody who is young and getting out of college, 306 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 4: if you don't have a big six figure job, if 307 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 4: you don't have assets, if you have a lot of debts, 308 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: you know, whether it's credit card debt or other types 309 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 4: of debt, you're not feeling so great. You're struggling to 310 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: keep pace. So it really is the halves who are 311 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 4: keeping this perception of a strong consumer. You know, in 312 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 4: the front of the media and keeping the economy quote 313 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: unquote afloats, while there's still a lot of people who 314 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 4: are hoping that the affordability crisis that started under President 315 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 4: Biden that they would be feeling more relief today, and 316 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 4: they're not quite there yet. 317 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: OK. Here that leads me into, well, you just brought 318 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: it up. College kids not finding work. Just saw another 319 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: statistic yesterday. I think it was forty percent graduates cannot 320 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: find a job. This problem appears to be getting worse. 321 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: And what I want to know is why are college 322 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: kids dumber unless qualified? Are the jobs not there? Have 323 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: they've been handed to foreigners? Is Corporate America contracting? Is 324 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: it AI? What is happening? I have two sons approaching 325 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: that age, and I'm worried. 326 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's some of all of the above. I think 327 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 4: the biggest frustration is that as the US government has 328 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 4: nationalized the student lending industry, what they've done is a 329 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 4: wholesale wealth transfer from young people directly to college administrators. 330 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 4: So young people are going to college, they're having to 331 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: spend ridiculous amounts of money. They're coming out with five 332 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: and six figures worth of debt, and there's no return 333 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: on investment for most of them, as you're seeing, you know, 334 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 4: a very large percentage of them aren't even able to 335 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 4: find a relevant job. This is absolute predatory lending by 336 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 4: our government, and it's absolute theft by these colleges and universities. 337 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 4: It seems like the biggest low hanging fruit that this 338 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 4: administration should be addressing, that Congress should be addressing right now, 339 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: because it flows through everything. You know, if you're young 340 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: and you have tons of debt, you put off starting 341 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 4: a family, you put off, you can't buy a house, 342 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 4: you all those kinds of things. So it's some of everything. 343 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: They're not getting the right skills. It is a more 344 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 4: competitive market. Companies aren't necessarily laying off some of the 345 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: tech companies are, but not necessarily all of them. But 346 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: they're not necessarily hiring a lot of new people either. 347 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 4: There's concerns, particularly on the white collar side, that's going 348 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 4: to be aligned with somebody coming out of college that AI, 349 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 4: at least in the beginning, there's going to be an 350 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: over correction where there's going to be less hiring in 351 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: those arenas. And I just don't think that they're doing 352 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 4: a good job of prepping for Macro's skills that are 353 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 4: needed in the job market and frankly in life today. 354 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: Okay, so look, I'm kind of putting you on the 355 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: spot here, but if you're me, I have a seventeen 356 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: year old, he's not really hot on college. But let's 357 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: say he was or changes his mind, which direction where 358 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: should I be guiding him? I know there are a 359 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: lot of people listening who have kids in this situation 360 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: or almost in this situation, and we want to offer help. 361 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: What should they do? 362 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 4: So I think if you have a child who is 363 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 4: not inclined to go to college and is inclined to 364 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: do a trade something that can't be replaced by AI 365 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: day one, I think that that is a fantastic option. 366 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 4: In fact, I think there is going to be you 367 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: know what has sort of happened to manufacturing jobs, you 368 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: know in the eighties and the nineties, will probably see 369 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 4: that at least for some period of time, with white 370 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: collar jobs coming up here in the next few years 371 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 4: and starting to see a little bit If you do 372 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 4: have a kid who wants to go to college and 373 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 4: they cannot get a scholarship, you know, to a bigger 374 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 4: university to make the return on investment makes sense, then 375 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 4: A really good option is to have them go to 376 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 4: a strong community program that isn't particularly expensive, at least 377 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 4: for a couple of years, and then they can see 378 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 4: what interests them, where their strengths lie, and then consider transferring, 379 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 4: or they can continue to go down that path and 380 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 4: they can network and get some real world experience. One 381 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 4: of the greatest things that kids have going for them 382 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 4: is that people like to help them, Right like Jessee, 383 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 4: if you and I called somebody up and said, hey, 384 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 4: you know, can I talk to you? You know, they 385 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 4: hang up the phone on us. Well, maybe not you, 386 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: but definitely me. But a kid, you know, everyone wants 387 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 4: to help them. So if there's an industry they're interested in, 388 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: hey I'm a student, I'd love to learn more about this. 389 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 4: It's a great way to get on someone's radar early networking, 390 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 4: and we know that people who typically find jobs, you know, 391 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 4: having somebody put their name at the top of the 392 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 4: pile is way better in terms of the outcomes than 393 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 4: trying to go through some sort of a recruiting process. 394 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 4: So real world networking is a very undervalued skill and 395 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 4: leveraging the fact that you're a student and not spending 396 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 4: too much money I'll give you one other guide post. 397 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 4: So from my perspective, in terms of the amount of 398 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 4: debt that you can take on to make your college 399 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 4: ROI make sense that if you are making an expected 400 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 4: salary three to five years out of school, your debt 401 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 4: should not be more than that. If it's more than that, 402 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 4: you're never going to pay it back. So let's say 403 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 4: you three to five years out of school, you're expecting 404 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 4: to make sixty or seventy thousand dollars a year. You 405 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 4: cannot come out with one hundred thousand dollars of debt. 406 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: Those numbers do not work out. I've ran the calculations 407 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 4: many times. So if you're going to take on debt, 408 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 4: it has to be worthwhile, and it has to be 409 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 4: going towards a good return on investment. But invest in yourself, 410 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 4: invest in networking. Call your friends and family members, friends 411 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 4: and parents' friends and anybody you want, you know, call 412 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 4: them up off a LinkedIn, send them a note, and 413 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 4: you know, leverage the fact that you're a kid and 414 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: people want to help young people succeed. 415 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: Carol, what's the greatest restaurant cheeseburger you've ever actually had? 416 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: If it's a fancy steakhouse.

What's that's that restaurant cheeseburger 418 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: that you put above all others? 419 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 4: Okay, So there's a place on the in the North 420 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 4: suburbs of Chicago called the Claim Company, and the Claim 421 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 4: Company has a burger that's called the Mother Load. And 422 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 4: the mother Load not only the burger itself, the meat 423 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 4: itself is such a good quality, but it's a make 424 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 4: your own everything.

Well, you have to pay extra 477 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: for cheese. You have to pay extra for that. I 478 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: didn't ask about the price. It's Chris, I know if 479 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: it's some elite restaurant burger, it's going to cost a fortune. 480 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to know how the food looked. Instead, I've 481 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: had a pricing breakdown from you that. You know, it's 482 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: so frustrating sometimes, and you know what else is frustrating. 483 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: So along the lines of family and young people, teenagers 484 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: call age things like that.

He writes, he does art, he 493 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: does all that stuff. He's not just by hand on 494 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: a computer three D modeling like. He's just always been 495 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: into that stuff. Real, real talented. I don't have that, 496 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: whatever that is. God didn't give that to me. James 497 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: has it. So I've yesterday reached out to a good 498 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: friend of mine because I want James to maybe end 499 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: up at a tech school, aid school of some kind 500 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: for that kind of thing, if I can avoid have 501 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: him go to college, if that's what he ends up 502 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: wanting to do for a living. So I reached out 503 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: to a friend yesterday. I said, Hey, you know anybody 504 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: in this industry, anybody you know with Sega or Xbox 505 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: or whatever computer games. I don't know who makes all 506 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: this crap, but do you know anyone in that industry 507 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: who might be interested in letting him intern. I'm not 508 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: looking for some nice gig or something like that. Let 509 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: him in turn sniff around. Buddy responds immediately, Yeah, I'll 510 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: work on it. I'll work on it. I know a 511 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: bunch of people. But he throws in the butt, and 512 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: I should have seen this coming, but AI makes it 513 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: hard now. And look, it's just one example, right, don't 514 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: go wrong. We'll figure things out. I'll figure it out 515 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: and James will figured it out, and we have whatever 516 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: God has for us. But I know that maybe you're 517 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: in that situation right now. Maybe you are that person 518 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: and you're slamming into a wall jobs, or you have 519 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: a daughter or a son in that situation. It was 520 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is it's probably the 521 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: first time that hit me because he's seventeen now, and 522 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: before it just been odd jobs. He's going to go 523 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: do this and deliver that, and he'll go clean out 524 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: your garage do that stuff. But now that he's finally 525 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,959 Speaker 1: starting to look for legitimate employment, and that was one 526 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: of the first things I heard, I thought to myself, Wow, 527 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: that just brought it home, didn't it. That sucks and 528 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: it's just it's a struggle. I understand economies are always changing. 529 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: You just heard what Carol said about the eighties and 530 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: nineties when we watched all the manufacturing jobs disappear. I 531 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: understand economies are changing and technology changes things and stuff 532 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: like that. But that has to feel like quite a 533 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: rug pool for a lot of people who went into 534 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: a field and did the right thing and got grades. 535 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you even picked the right degree for the field 536 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: you wanted to go into. You know, you're not majoring 537 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: in basket weaving and African American studies. You actually got 538 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: a degree in something that matters, and now you're sitting 539 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: there with college loan debt, with or without it, and 540 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: you can't find a job. And I've had friends of 541 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: mine lament this many times before. He can't get a 542 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: call back, he can't find a job. Now they're all white, right, 543 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: that's the tough corporate America for that, for that particular 544 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: demographic right now. Everybody has to be diversed. Anyway, that's 545 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: another story. But still, that was the first time. It 546 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: was last night. That was the first time I got 547 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: that Oh oh that sucks. That sucks, and I'm so 548 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: stupid the second I started thinking along those lines for James. Immediately, 549 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: because I'm an idiot, immediately I had him working for 550 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: you know, Xbox or something like that as an internship. 551 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: And of course because I'm a father there of course 552 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: going to love him. He'll be the best employee ever 553 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: in he'll be the CEO in two years. And I'm 554 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: an idiot, Okay, I admit that, I'm moron. It hit me, 555 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: It hit me. It was Uh, it sucks. If you're 556 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: going through that, I'm sorry and we'll work it out 557 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: all right, all right, I know I owe you a 558 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: bunch of emails.
