Okay, there's a reason I wanted to 44 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: open up with this question. Maybe maybe there is Maybe 45 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: maybe Iran's gonna go set off a bomb somewhere. Maybe 46 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: another one of these TRAINNY terrorists is going to go 47 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: murder a bunch of people. Maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe 48 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. There could be an 49 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: attack going on right now. I don't know. But let 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: me tell you something. There's nothing, nothing in this world 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: that would keep me from celebrating Independence Day. Do you 52 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm doing on Independence Day? There's this town 53 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: close to us, well, I stay close about an hour away. 54 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: They have the most ridiculous, over the top, red, white, 55 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: and Blue God and Country Independence Day parade that morning. Now, 56 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: I hate parades. Hate parades. I think they're the most boring, 57 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: lame thing in the world. Not this one. They'll have 58 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: guns laid out on the table you can just buy. 59 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: They'll have they do American Revolution re enactments with squirt 60 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: guns where there where. The British are shooting squirt guns 61 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: at the kids, and the kids are throwing water balloons back. 62 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: It is the most over the top thing in the world. 63 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: And I'm going I don't care what the threats are. 64 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: I don't care what the danger is. I'm going And 65 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: then tomorrow night I have a vat of fireworks that 66 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: is probably equal or perhaps exceeding the fireworks that will 67 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: be set off in many towns across the United States 68 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: of America. No, it's not for the whole neighborhood. It's 69 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: just for me. I mean me, the kids, ob my 70 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: fam a couple other family members, a couple of friends 71 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: coming over. And there's nothing that's gonna stop me from 72 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: setting it off. And do you know why, Because I 73 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: am so insanely grateful to be an American and you 74 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: shoot to what we have here because it's all we've 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: ever known. If you're an American listening to this, because 76 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: it's all we've ever known, we don't even I don't 77 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: fully appreciate how amazing it is to live in a 78 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: country that had a revolution. We had a revolution against 79 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: the most powerful empire on the planet. You could make 80 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: the argument that the British Empire when we had our revolution, 81 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: was the most powerful revolution or most powerful empire in 82 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: human history. They had Australia, then India, America. The sun 83 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: never sets on the British Empire. All that stuff was true. 84 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: This ridiculously powerful empire. And yet they started to do 85 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: what evil tyrannical governments do. They started to poke and 86 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: poke and poke. We're not going to let you do this, 87 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: and we're not going to let you do that, and 88 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: we're going to tax this, and we're going to abuse 89 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: you with that, and we're going to abuse you with this. 90 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: Almost like they were daring us to revolt. Almost like 91 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: they were daring us to have a revolution. But you 92 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: know all that, Here's what you maybe don't know. Revolutions 93 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: are awful almost every single time because whenever you remove 94 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: a government, even an evil one, Mao will make it. 95 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: Mao maybe the most evil man who ever lived. Even 96 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: if you had a revolution in China when Mao was 97 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: busy killing fifty million of his own people, even if 98 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: that happened, you know who would usually almost every time, 99 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: you know who would take over. The warlord who has 100 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: the most guns and most power and honestly is the 101 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: most violent. That's who wins the wars most of the time. 102 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: You realize that the most violent gun happy person, weapon 103 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: happy person who's able to kill more people than other people, 104 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: he takes over for the tyrant who just got kicked 105 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: out and then he does worse things than the other 106 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: tyrant did. Actually, that's a really good point, Chris. Haiti 107 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: is a great example. Haiti. Everyone knows about the transit 108 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: trans atlantic slave trade and all that, and I know 109 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: America and that America is the only one, but it 110 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: was South America or the Caribbean. 111 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: It was. 112 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: It was a big business. It was a global business. 113 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: You'd be hard pressed to find in that era a 114 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: more despicable slavery condition than Haiti had at the time, 115 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: because it was sugarcane and that's so labor intensive and 116 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: just the abuse. And so you're looking at Haiti at 117 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the time and you're thinking to yourself, Wow, they should 118 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: cast that off, they should have a revolution, they should revolt, 119 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: and they did. Whoo, yes, let's get rid of them. Yep, 120 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: Haiti's the biggest dump on the planet today. You could 121 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: easily argue that Haiti is worse today than it was 122 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: when they had slaves. They're eating each other in the place. 123 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: Revolutions don't work out, that's not a thing that happens. Oh, 124 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Revolutions happen, and the people are as bad or worse 125 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: off every single time. Now, let's talk about this. The 126 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: men who led our revolution. They were the top one 127 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: percenters of their time. It wasn't just you know, a 128 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: peasant revolt where you or me were unhappy with the taxes. 129 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. No no, no, no, no. Our political leaders, 130 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: our business leaders, Patrick Henry, you know Patrick Henry. Everyone 131 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: knows at least the saying give me liberty or give 132 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: me death. 133 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 4: You know that. 134 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Patrick Henry was the five time governor of Virginia. Our 135 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: top and elite. They led our revolution against the British crown. 136 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: And so you have these elite guys, politicians and wealthy people. 137 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: John Hancock, you know that huge signature on the declaration everybody, 138 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: John Hancock. John Hancock was like a billionaire. I mean 139 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: not a billionaire, but compared to his time, pretty much 140 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: was a billionaire. Our elite read led a revolution against 141 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: the British crown. Now, let me ask you something. If 142 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump and Elon Musk and all 143 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: the elite, all the Rhonda Santus will make it the 144 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: political elite too, all the political and wealthy elite, if 145 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: they all banded together and they had a revolution today, 146 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: what kind of government would they give us next? Do 147 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: you think. Do you think they would all have the 148 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: kind of government all agree to give us, the kind 149 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: of government that stripped them of power. That doesn't happen. 150 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: They would come up with a kind of government that 151 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: gives them more power and more money, like happens in 152 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: every other revolution, but not here, not in the United 153 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: States of America. We replaced a tyrant with freedom, and 154 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: that never happens. You, an American citizen, can turn off 155 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show right now and go buy a 156 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: billboard in your town that says Donald Trump sucks. And 157 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: you know what will happen to you? Nothing, because you 158 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: are free, a free American, and you are free because 159 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: we had the greatest revolution ever. I don't care what 160 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: may happen on the fourth of July, I will be 161 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: out there waving the red, white, and blue, celebrating the 162 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: unbelievable blessing that I am an American, and I hope 163 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: you will join me. By the way, I had a 164 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: chance to have a discussion today with somebody. He is 165 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: a professor. He knows more about American history. He's forgotten 166 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: more about American history than I will ever know in 167 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: my entire lifetime.

We need to 201 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: celebrate as much as the Communists celebrate their BS holidays. 202 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: We're doing good. Momentum is building, celebrate wins, and on 203 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: the fifth, let's keep up the fight. Semper five. Maybe 204 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: we ought to just dwell on that for a moment. 205 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: Here we are on Independence Day, and I know nothing's perfect. 206 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: I get that. I know we have all kinds of 207 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: problems FBI and spending. I get all that. What's today 208 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: like with President Kamala Harris. What well tomorrow, what's today 209 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: tomorrow like with President Joe Biden. I'll tell you what 210 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: it's not like. 211 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: It's not this for the Homeland Security Department, or atleast 212 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: brand new data this week showing that in June there 213 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,359 Speaker 2: were a record low number of both nationwide border encounters 214 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: and illegal immigrant apprehensions at the southern border. Here's the 215 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: craziest part. There were zero illegal immigrants released in the US. 216 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: You compare that to the highs under the Biden administration 217 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: when we saw as many as twelve thousand encounters per day. 218 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: Do you know what else isn't happening with President Kamala Harris? This? 219 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: This is better than expected? Yeah, Sarah, it is. They're 220 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: talking about the jobs report, by the way. 221 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 5: This is better than expected, Yeah, Sarah, it is. Look, 222 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 5: this jobs market is like the energizer bunny. Every single 223 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 5: time we expected to run out of steam, it just 224 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: keeps going and going. So these new numbers show the 225 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: US economy added one hundred and forty seven thousand jobs 226 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 5: in June. That was well ahead of the expectation of 227 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 5: about one hundred and eighteen thousand, well. 228 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: Ahead of some whispers that we heard on Wall Street of. 229 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 5: A sub one hundred thousand number, So this is indeed 230 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 5: beating expectations. We were also expecting a slowdown. We did 231 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 5: not get that. This is basically in line with May, 232 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 5: which was revised higher. It's also good. 233 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 3: News the unemployment. 234 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: You want to feel good about that bill that was 235 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: passed today, I want to feel good about something else. 236 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not even saying I like it. Well, let's go 237 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: to a Democrat. Why should I like this bill? Wokeem Jeffries, 238 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: all out assault on the care mister speaker being provided 239 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: by Planned Parenthood. The bill is an all out of 240 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: assault on Planned Parenthood. Hey at Kim Jeffries, Should I 241 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: like this bill and miss the speaker? We want no 242 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: part of it, which is why we're fighting so hard 243 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: to stop it. Sounds like my kind of thing. Why 244 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: is he fighting so hard to stop it? Or why 245 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: was he fighting so hard to stop it? Probably things 246 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: like this, a deportation machine that will be unleashed on 247 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: steroids by this one big ugly bill. Yes, I'm so excited. 248 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: It sounds wonderful. Anyway, steroids are underrated. No stop, I 249 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: don't want you what Chris, It's fine let me explain. 250 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't want you to ever do steroids. Okay, so 251 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: I want you to stay away from the rooids because 252 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: I don't want your heart to explode when you're thirty five. 253 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: But man, wasn't baseball speaking of America? Wasn't baseball sweet 254 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: when everyone was all juiced up? As I've gotten older, 255 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm getting back into baseball and I love it now, 256 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But everyone complained. Everyone complained that 257 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: all the players had biceps the size of my thighs, 258 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: and there were jack and eighty bombs a year. That's 259 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: the most fun I've ever had watching baseball on my 260 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: entire life. That's fine. It's not my dad. He's not 261 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: my strength. Coach, go ahead, jam that needle in your arm, buddy, 262 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: and hit one out for all of us. Sorry, Chris, 263 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna clean that up. I told you I'm in 264 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: a good mood, and when I'm in a good food 265 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: sometimes the show can take a dark turn. All right, 266 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: It can take a dark turn because I'm a dark person, really, 267 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: especially now I've been out in the sun. Doctor tiny hands, 268 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: I have two questions for you. I like you. I 269 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: never paid attention in school, so I'm still green on 270 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: the different branches and their powers. Who has more power 271 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: the House or the Senate? Or is it like comparing 272 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: apples to oranges? Also they both suck something awful. What 273 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: which group of people are the worse or worse rhino wise? 274 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: House members or Senate members? Right, let's talk about this first. 275 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: Who has more power the House or Senate? That is 276 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: definitely like comparing apples to oranges. You kind of nailed 277 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: that one. Keep in mind, there's what the Senate is now, 278 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: and there's what the Senate was supposed to be and 279 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: be because of something horrible called the seventeenth Amendment. What 280 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: the Senate is now is totally totally different, totally totally 281 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: different than what the founders had intended. So let's discuss 282 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: this because look, it's American Revolution time. I mean, hold, stop, stop, 283 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: don't have a revolution. We're talking about Independence Day, and 284 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: so the American Revolution, in our constitution and our form 285 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: of government, it's going to be on people's minds. Let's 286 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: discuss what was the intention of all of it and 287 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: where that brought us now. But you're gonna have to 288 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: wait on that because we're talking to Mike Row next. 289 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: Mike Ro's going to talk about jobs, trades, other things, 290 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: and then I swear on my life we'll geek out 291 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: on constitution stuff and send it in house and everything else. 292 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: I bet Mike Ro takes chock.

I stumbled 329 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 4: across something you put up on the other day, and 330 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw it, but I actually 331 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 4: commented on it because it's the same thing I've been 332 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: screaming for seventeen years. But look, the short answer is 333 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 4: we're individuals. And you know, when you get into politics 334 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 4: and when you start hearing people paint with a very 335 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 4: broad brush, you know, you start to get these platitudes, 336 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 4: and all of them are well intended, but none of 337 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 4: them really make any sense. And the idea that a 338 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 4: four year degree is the best path for the most 339 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 4: people is right up there with one of the most 340 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 4: hair brained ideas that's ever been put forth. You know, 341 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 4: you can walk it back to the day we took 342 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 4: shop class out of high school and ever since then, 343 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 4: to varying degrees, we've gotten it into our heads that 344 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 4: our kids are going to be screwed if they don't 345 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 4: borrow whatever it takes to get a four year degree, 346 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 4: and that has caused so many problems. I know you're 347 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: familiar with most of them, but just so your listeners know, 348 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: in no particular order, we have seven point six million 349 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 4: open jobs available right now, most of them don't require 350 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 4: four year degree. We have one point seven trillion dollars 351 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 4: of student loans on the books that's never going to 352 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: get paid back. We're lending money we don't have to 353 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 4: kids who can't pay it back to training for jobs 354 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 4: that don't exist anymore. And it really all spins out 355 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: of this misguided idea that everybody needs a four year degree. 356 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: No, I just love that, and I've always loved that. 357 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: But granted, I come from a construction family. It's what 358 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: I did, it's what my father did, it's what my 359 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: grandfather did. And I think there's a couple of things, 360 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: just in my opinion that people will get wrong about this. First, 361 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: they think that being sweaty or dirty somehow is bad. 362 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: If you don't work in the air conditioning, then you 363 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: have a bad job. My dad made a ton of money. 364 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: You got sweaty and dirty his entire life. And I 365 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: think they think it means you're going to not have 366 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: as much money. But I've I've worked with somebody who 367 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: had one hundred thousand dollars in college debt. He was 368 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: making twelve I think it was twelve dollars an hour. 369 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: He's never going to pay that off. Yet there's a 370 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: plant a mile from my house. After you're done with 371 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: your education, you can start at one hundred and fifty 372 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: grand a year. It's just not true that sweat's bad 373 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: for you, and it's not true you're going to be poor. 374 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 4: Well, this is you know, from your mouth to God's ears, 375 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 4: you know, I mean it was it's funny. Twenty two 376 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 4: years ago, I shot the pilot for Dirty Jobs and 377 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 4: tried to sell it, and it was a tough sell. 378 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 4: None of the networks wanted it, you know. Discovery finally 379 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 4: took it, but really just to shut me up, they 380 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 4: had other plans for me, and I just, you know, 381 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 4: did a couple episodes of this thing because for the 382 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 4: exact reason you're saying Jesse did. Network executives are not 383 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 4: much different than concerned parents, you know. They they they 384 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: want to make the right call. And at the time, 385 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 4: nobody had ever really celebrated jobs that take place out 386 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 4: of sight and out of mind, and that require you 387 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 4: to deal with feces from every species and all sorts 388 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 4: of these other things. It just didn't seem like something 389 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 4: people would want to watch. But holy cow man, once 390 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 4: that pilot went on the air, we got thousands, tens 391 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 4: of thousands of letters from viewers, not telling me how 392 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 4: funny I was or how much they loved the show. Necessarily, 393 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 4: it was more about hey, Mike, if you think that's dirty, 394 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 4: way do you see what my dad does, my brother, 395 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 4: my cousin, my sister. Right, And so there was a 396 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 4: real enthusiasm for the country that a lot of people 397 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 4: have missed. That comes down to celebrating and honest day's 398 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: work and really paying tribute to people who show up early, 399 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 4: stay late, you know, go to work clean, come home dirty, 400 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: and somehow keep polite society on the So I got 401 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: very lucky with that show. It was ahead of the curve. 402 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 4: And so when I started Microworks on Labor Day of 403 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, it was really just a love 404 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: letter to a couple million open jobs we had at 405 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 4: the time that nobody seemed to want. Today, it's something else, 406 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 4: and I'm not really sure how to describe it, but 407 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: I'll tell you. We've We've awarded thirteen million dollars in 408 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 4: work ethic scholarships. We've helped train twenty five hundred men 409 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 4: and women for a long list of jobs that need 410 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 4: to get done but simply don't have the popular enthusiasm 411 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 4: behind them. But most of them pay well into the 412 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 4: six figures. So that's kind of what I do with 413 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 4: my life these days. I work with big companies. I've 414 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 4: worked with governors. Governor Abbott and I are embarking on 415 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 4: a big endeavor to help Texas lead the charge to 416 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: close the skills gap and reinvigorate the trades. CEOs from 417 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: companies from sea to Shining Sea believe me, they've got 418 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 4: the memo. The shortage of skilled workers is real and 419 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 4: it's about to become a problem that's going to be 420 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 4: headline news. 421 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm afraid, Mike again, speaking with Mike Rowe, CEO of 422 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: Mike row Works. Mike, can you I just I get 423 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: these emails all the time because this is something I'm 424 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: passionate about. I talk about it all the time, and 425 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: so I'm telling you right now there are a whole 426 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: bunch of chair of parents leaning into the radio when 427 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: they hear wait a minute, scholarships. Scholarships to what? Because 428 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: I get questions of Jesse, Where do I even find 429 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: a trade school? Where do I go? How long is it? 430 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 3: What? 431 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: Could you please explain that process to every parent of 432 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: teenage boys like I am who's interested in this. I 433 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: have a sixteen year old he's already told me that's 434 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: where he's going. I'm interested in this. What do we do? 435 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 4: Sure? Sure. Well, the first thing not to oversell it, 436 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: but you have to understand the totality of the problem 437 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: and what's caused it. Seven point six million open jobs 438 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 4: in manufacturing and skilled trades is a result of something right, 439 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 4: and it's really two things. First, it's just bad math. 440 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 4: We've got a demographic problem. For every five trades people 441 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 4: who retire this year, too will replace them, and it's 442 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 4: been that way for twelve years, so the labor pool 443 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 4: gets smaller and smaller every year. We also are still 444 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 4: dealing with stigmas and stereotypes and myths and misperceptions and 445 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 4: just all kinds of bad information that have led people 446 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: to conclude that there's no real opportunity in these vocations. 447 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 4: That's why we got where we got to answer your question. 448 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 4: There's many many ways to get to find a trade 449 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 4: school in your area, or an apprenticeship program or a 450 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 4: community college that might offer some kind of OTJ or 451 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 4: on the job training. It's as simple as going online. Honestly, 452 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 4: you can go to my website microworks dot org and 453 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: while there there's always a big pile of free money. 454 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 4: I mean, we do this every nine months, and you know, 455 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 4: I mean, it's we're modest by foundation standards, but still 456 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: twelve thirteen million dollars is left to mark. So my 457 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 4: advice to parents really is is to don't make the 458 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 4: mistake that got us here in the first place. I 459 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 4: don't know what's best for your kid, but I do 460 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 4: know that they deserve an honest look at all of 461 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 4: the options that are out there. And you know, I 462 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: worry that when we put our thumb on the scale, 463 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 4: we just skew the whole conversation to the point. Your 464 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 4: point actually that these misperceptions are keeping kids from giving 465 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: these trades an honest look. Laugh point. Sorry for the filibuster, 466 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 4: but it's important. Not a week goes by where I 467 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 4: don't get a call like the one I just got 468 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 4: from the Blue Forge Alliance. These guys represent fifteen thousand 469 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: companies who collectively build our submarines. They've got to deliver 470 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 4: three per year to the US Navy. I'm talking of 471 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 4: Virginia Class and Columbia Class subs, incredibly complicated and really 472 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 4: really important part of our national defense. These guys called me, 473 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 4: I swear to god, I'm not making it up. They said, 474 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 4: we're having a hell of a time finding tradespeople can 475 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 4: you help us? I said, maybe, how many do you need? 476 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: They said one hundred and forty thousand, one hundred and 477 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 4: forty thousand. They said, we've looked everywhere. Do you know 478 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 4: where they are? And I said, yeah, man, I do 479 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 4: know where they are. They're in the eighth grade. And 480 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 4: that's what we're dealing with now. Not a week goes. 481 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 4: I've heard from the automotive industry eighty thousand openings in 482 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 4: collision repair and technical jobs. The energy industry, my god, 483 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 4: don't even get me started, three hundred thousand openings at 484 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 4: least welders electricians. I just talked. Was at a conference, 485 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 4: the Aspen Ideas Festival, whatever that is, but I was 486 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 4: there and I listened to the CEO of Blackrock and 487 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 4: Wells Fargo talk about the need for half a million electricians. 488 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: So these guys got the memo, Jesse. It's like it's 489 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 4: out there and you can start to see the ship 490 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 4: turn around. But the bottom line is the opportunities are real. 491 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 4: Scholarship money is available. The country needs enthusiastic skilled workers 492 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 4: way more than we need enthusiastic pairalegals and actuarial accountants. 493 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: With all due respect to those vocations.

Now, 513 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: as promised, let's discuss because somebody emailed in and it 514 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: may sound basic, and a lot of it may be basic, 515 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: but people don't know the difference between the House and 516 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: the Senate, and you know which group was worse for 517 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: rhinos and whatnot. Well, first let's discuss this the founders 518 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: of the country. They were obviously obsessed with ensuring people 519 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: could be free and would remain free. And it's easy 520 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: to pick at the constitution today, Declaration of Independence, Constitution, 521 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: all those things, but keep in mind what a daunting 522 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: task it is not to create a government for the moment. 523 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: To create a government that will last, you have to 524 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: create a government that it's not just good for seventeen 525 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: seventy six. Is this kind of government? Is it going 526 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: to be okay in eighteen seventy six? In nineteen seventy six, 527 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: what are we dealing with here? And one of their 528 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: challenges was, how do we ensure smaller states don't get 529 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: smashed by larger states? Because even back then there were rich, 530 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: powerful states like New York. How do we ensure that 531 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: smaller states and their desires don't get trampled by the 532 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: larger states and their desires while at the same time 533 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: ensuring that the population is properly represented. And let's pause 534 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: on this for a moment, because maybe you're thinking well, 535 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: they were all unified back then. I want you to 536 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: know something. A lot of people actually don't know this religion, 537 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: various forms of Christianity. They were different state to state 538 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: back then, and I don't mean small differences. There were 539 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: Quakers and there were Presbyterians, and there were multiple So 540 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: one state would have, you know, this is their belief system, 541 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: and the other state would have this belief system. They 542 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: did not always get along. In fact, they were at 543 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: each other's throat vat a lot. From the outside looking in, 544 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: probably for someone like Chris, that kind of looks crazy. 545 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's the Bible, it's Jesus. Why 546 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: aren't you getting along? And honestly, I kind of think 547 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: the same thing lots of times. But just know that 548 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: it did matter to them. So there were big differences, 549 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: religious differences, a central banking differences, all kinds of differences 550 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: back then. How do you set up a government where 551 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: the people are represented equally? No, so everybody will have 552 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: a member of the House of Representatives. He represents so 553 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: many people and the small states don't get stomped by 554 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: the big states. That that small states not getting stomped 555 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: by the big states. That's why they gave us the Senate. 556 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 1: That's why Montana gets the same number of senators as California. 557 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: That's why Delaware gets the same number of senators as 558 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 1: New York. When it comes to the Senate, large or small, 559 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,760 Speaker 1: the states have equality with their representation. Now, let's discuss 560 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: what we talked about before, about how it's so different 561 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: now than it was then. Senators get elected how now 562 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: by vote, by a state wide vote. So if you 563 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: want to get elected senator in Arizona, all the citizens 564 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: of Arizona will go decide, well, I want this person 565 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: to be my senator. That is not absolutely not how 566 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: it was supposed to be in this country. Before the 567 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: seventeenth Amendment, the state legislatures they would pick a senator 568 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: to go represent them in Washington, DC. Created a completely 569 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: different type of representation in the Senate. But let's not 570 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: talk about what it was. Let's talk about what it 571 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: is now. Because you asked, who are the orse rhinows, 572 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: what are the different things? Well, you could probably argue, 573 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: and Thomas Jefferson would argue this that the House is 574 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: more powerful, at least should be more powerful, because the 575 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: House has the power of the purse. It is the 576 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: House of Representatives that controls the budget, that controls everything. 577 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: That's how it's supposed to work. But the Senate also 578 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: has crucial roles to play, crucial roles to play different, 579 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: different than the power of the purse, but crucial roles 580 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: like judges. Those haven't been in the news at all, right, judges. Yeah, 581 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: the Senate has to give the old thumbs up or 582 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: down on all those judges who are doing all those 583 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: terrible things. By the way, if you want a little 584 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: light reading that'll make your head pop off with rage, 585 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: go read how many Republican senators voted for these communist 586 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: judges who were screwing everything up or skipped the vote entirely. 587 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: And them skipping the vote is the reason these communist 588 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: judges got approved. Anyway, we're not having time for them. 589 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: We're not doing that today because that's just gonna make 590 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: me angry. Now, you ask which group of people are 591 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: the worst rhino wise, it's always the senators. I know 592 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 1: there are bad members of the House, but I've said 593 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: this before, I'll say it again. There is a tiny, 594 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: relatively tiny cabal of ten to fifteen GOP senators. Ten 595 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: to fifteen GOP senators. They are the ones with their 596 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: foot in the door, holding the door open for Democrats 597 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: to savage this country like the animals. They are people 598 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: like James Langford, Mike Rownds, Bill Cassidy, John Thune, Mitch McConnell, 599 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: John Cornyn. I could go down the list, Curtis, the Lindsay, 600 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: Landy Graham, all of them. They are the ones. You know, 601 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,959 Speaker 1: they'll give you a little win here and a little 602 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: win there, and a little win here, and right when 603 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: we get to that crucial moment where we can drop 604 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: the hammer on communism and stop it boot stop it 605 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: right then and there, that's when they'll step Boh, guys, 606 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm Landy Graham. We can't do that. I'd rather bomb. 607 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: I'd rather bomb every country on the planet than stop 608 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: American communism. The Senate is where the rhinoes are, and 609 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: that's why it's so beneficial that we are getting rid 610 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: of them. The Tom Tillis's John Corny, and I believe 611 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: is going to lose his primary. In fact, he probably 612 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: won't drop out ahead of time. Another thing to feel 613 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: good about anyway, Let's do another hour, Let's do all 614 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. What would the show be like if 615 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: Chris left China in the twenty twenty election. Let me 616 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: talk to you about this. How do the pipes look 617 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: in your house, in your walls, in the ceiling? 618 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 3: Hi? 619 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: They look right now? Oh, you can't see them. You 620 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: know that those pictures you treasure in that baby album, 621 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: wedding album, they are one pipe burst away from disappearing forever. 622 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: You can't duplicate them, you can't get them back. You 623 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: are one wire turning into a fire. Yes, I know 624 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: that rhyme from losing all those home movies you have 625 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: cam quorder tapes. It's one of those terrible things. You 626 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: don't think you want to get a hold of Legacy 627 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: Box until you lose it, and then you hate yourself 628 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: that you didn't do it ahead of time. Do it 629 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,959 Speaker 1: while it's fifty percent off. Digitize those memories so you'll 630 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: have them forever. Pipes, wires, fires, it doesn't matter fifty 631 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: percent off. Legacybox dot com slash Jesse I rest easy 632 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 1: knowing my memories will be there forever for my great 633 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: great great grandkids who will never meet.
