1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show.

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: The Jesse Kelly Show. Louke Penrose sitting in for Jesse Kelly.

3
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, coming to you live from

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: San Diego. That's my home talk radio station. I broadcast

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: weeknights on Cogo out of San Diego, and happy to

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: sit in for Jesse tonight. As we head into the

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: big Labor Day holiday weekend, the official last hurrah of summer,

8
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: my boys are already back to school. I have three

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: to one in elementary school, one in middle school, one

10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: in high school. So I got it all covered and

11
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: well today this was the last day of the first

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: full week, so they had like a half week and

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: they're exhausted. So they're looking forward to the three day weekend,

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: and I hope you are too. Eight seven seven three

15
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: seven seven forty three seventy three. I was thinking a

16
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: little bit about Labor Day. I don't even know is

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: there going to be a presidential proclamation? Usually the president

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: will say something. The President hasn't been in the White

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: House for quite some time, so nobody knows who's running

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: the country. But I did see that they adjusted the

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: unemployment numbers. The Labor Department comes out with numbers and

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: then they adjust them. And you may have heard the

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: story they they were off by eight hundred thousand jobs.

24
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: And I was looking at the categories and the areas

25
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: that are showing growth, even though unemployment is higher than

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: they said it was. Was like, the two biggest categories

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: were service workers and government employees, and those are that's

28
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: number one, number two by far, Like the third is

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: way down. You're getting into construction. But for the most part,

30
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: the only area of growth is working for the government,

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: and that could be state, federal, or local government and

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: working in the service economy. And that's a bad thing.

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with service work. I've done it. I've

34
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: done front desk management at hotels. I have been a

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: buser in a restaurant. I worked at Burger King. I've

36
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: done it, so there's nothing wrong with it. It's honest work.

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: It's hard work. But you can't as a country run

38
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: a complete economy having everybody do each other's laundry. And

39
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: I think going into the Labor Day weekend, this is

40
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: a good time to start talking about this, and I

41
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: want you to think about it over the weekend, because

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: we really need to change the trajectory we cannot canntinue

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: to have the largest area of growth government workers. So

44
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: back in the day, we had a fantastic economy that

45
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: was robust. The post World War II American economy was spectacular.

46
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: It was three legs of a stool. You had professional work.

47
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: Professional work is doctor, lawyer, businessman, accountant, engineer. You had

48
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: service work. Those are the people that make your beds

49
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: in the hotels, do your laundry, and make you a martini.

50
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: And then you have this third category called manufacturing. These

51
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: are people that go to work at a factory every day,

52
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: take raw materials steel or wood or iron, and turn

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: those raw materials into a product that then retails for

54
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: sale and you buy it. And for the most part,

55
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: through the fifties and sixties and most of the seventies,

56
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: the amount of people that worked in the manufacturing sector

57
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: dwarfed the amount of people that worked in the professional

58
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: sector or the service sector. Like most people that worked

59
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: either worked in manufacturing or supported manufacturing work. And everything

60
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: in your house, and I mean everything in your house

61
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: was made in America by an American worker at an

62
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: American factory, making really good money, by the way, and

63
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: that supported an economy that grew to become a powerhouse

64
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: on planet Earth. It wasn't just the fact that much

65
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: of the world was damaged as a result of World

66
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: War Two. It was some of that Europe was damaged,

67
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: and the Soviet Union was damaged, and nobody really knows

68
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: the extent of the damage in Asia and in China,

69
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: and we all know what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

70
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: But it wasn't just that. It was because the United

71
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: States got down to business after the war was over.

72
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Nobody wanted war, and we went ahead and built ourselves

73
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 2: a wonderful little country by putting everybody to work manufacturing

74
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: things for ourselves to sell to each other. Think about it,

75
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: everything in your house, all your appliances, your washers and dryers,

76
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: and your refrigerators and stoves and ranges and count kitchen

77
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 2: counter appliances, all the electronics, all your entertainment in the house,

78
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: the air conditioning unit, the heating unit, all the plumbing,

79
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: all the electrical appliances, all the lighting fixtures, all the

80
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: furniture in your house, and to a large extent, most

81
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: of your clothing all made in America at American factories

82
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: by Americans. And they would take raw materials and go

83
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: to work and turn it into something. They would take

84
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: steel and turn it into a washing machine. They would

85
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: take glass and plastics and copper and turn it into

86
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: a television or a stereo. If you had a sofa

87
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: or a love seat or a chair in the seventies

88
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: and eighties in the United States, the lumber came from

89
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: North Carolina and the fabric came from upstate New York.

90
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: If you had a washing machine, it was either General

91
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: Electric or Westinghouse. It was manufactured in the Midwest. Right

92
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: If you had electronics, you had RCA or Zenith Emerson.

93
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: They were all manufactured in the United States. The raw

94
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: materials were all mined, and they came from mines and

95
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: mills in the United States. And we had rail systems

96
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: that brought all the raw materials from where the raw

97
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: materials came from to the factory towns, and then those

98
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: rail systems distributed all the finished goods to all the

99
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: major cities all over the United States. And then when

100
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: you went out to go buy a television or an oven,

101
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: or a refrigerator or car or sofa, you were paying

102
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: the salary of an American and that kept an American

103
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: employed because at the end of the day, you're gonna

104
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: need a new blender. You're gonna need a new vacuum cleaner.

105
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: If you grew up like I grew up in the

106
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: seventies and eighties, your mother had either a Hoover vacuum

107
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: cleaner or an Electrolux. If it was Hoover, it was

108
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: manufactured in Pennsylvania. If it was Electrolux, it was manufactured

109
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: in Connecticut. Now you go go and buy some cheapy

110
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: plastic made in China, piece of crap. It's no good, right.

111
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: We closed down all the American factories, we shipped all

112
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: the jobs overseas, we fired all the American workers, and

113
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: now we bring in plastic crap from China. So this

114
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: labor day, let it be the labor day where we

115
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: start thinking about how do we change that because it

116
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago. It's not like we have to

117
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: go back to ancient times. It was just about forty

118
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: years ago when we decided to ship all the jobs

119
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: to China, so we could certainly reverse course. We still

120
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: need washers and dryers and stoves and ovens and kitchen

121
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: counter appliances. We still need all those things. We should

122
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: be employing Americans to do them. We have all the

123
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: raw materials here in the United States, and good news,

124
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: all the railway lines are still there and the rail

125
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: spur goes right up to the loading dock. We have

126
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: the infrastructure, it's all sitting there ready to roll. And

127
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: most of the factories are still They drive through factory

128
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: towns throughout the Midwest and all across the United States.

129
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: It's dilapidated, but it's still there. The parking lot's still there,

130
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: and the foundation is still there. So we could get

131
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: going right away, and it would make all the sense

132
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: in the world and strengthen our economy for the next generation.

133
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three seven seven forty three, seventy three.

Speaker 2: The Jesse Kelly Show. Loup Penrose sitting in for Jesse Kelly.

138
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Good to be with you on a Friday, eight seven

139
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: seven three seven seven forty three seventy three, talking a

140
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: little bit about the labor day, weekend and work in America.

141
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: It is great that people are working. I think that

142
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: the service economy is fantastic, And of course it's great

143
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: to be a doctor or a lawyer, but we need

144
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: to have manu facturing in order for this economy to work.

145
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: We need to attract manufacturing. We need to bring manufacturing back.

146
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: We need to fire up the factories and put Americans

147
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 2: to work making our stuff. Because even as technology expands,

148
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: and even as your cell phone gets more and more advanced,

149
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: and even as amazing as it is that I can

150
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: screw in a light bulb and with my phone dim it,

151
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: that's all fascinating, at the end of the day, you're

152
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: going to need a vacuum cleaner. You're going to need

153
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: a refrigerator, right the technology of your oven hasn't changed

154
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: all that much. And we used to make refrigerators and

155
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: ovens and stoves and vacuum cleaners here in the United States,

156
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: and they were good paying jobs and they were high

157
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: quality stuff. That's the part that really kills me. It

158
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: really bothers me that not only did we fire all

159
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: the Americans, ship all the jobs to China, bring in

160
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: all these products duty free and their plastic pieces of crap,

161
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: but we're not even ahead of the game because the

162
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: price is the same, like adjusted for inflation. Your grandmother

163
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: paid the same for her general electric stove that you're

164
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: paying for your general electric stove. Whatever the make is.

165
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: I bought, Oh my gosh, I bought my third. I've

166
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: been living in my house for let's see. The baby

167
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: is eleven. I know we still call him the baby,

168
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: but he's eleven. So my wife was due within when

169
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: we moved in. I remember that because she couldn't lift anything.

170
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: So I've been living in my house eleven years. I

171
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: have been through three refrigerators. Three. Do you ever remember

172
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: your grandparents get another refrigerator? Do you ever remember their

173
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 2: refrigerator breaking down? Ever? Like they were beasts, they'd last forever.

174
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: Now you go in and buy an appliance, and what's

175
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: the first thing they want to sell you. They come

176
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: chasing after you for what that's right? For the extended warranty?

177
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: Did your grandfather have an extended warranty on his appliances? Now?

178
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: But now they got to sell you the extended warranty

179
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: because they know it's a piece of crap from China

180
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: and it's going to break down in three years and

181
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: the warranty's not going to cover it. Eight seven seven

182
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: three seven seven forty three seventy three. So if we

183
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: brought the jobs back and manufactured all these things in

184
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: the United States, we would accomplish a whole lot of things.

185
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: We'd be putting Americans to work at factory jobs that

186
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: will always be there. Factory jobs are recession proof, right,

187
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what's happening in the economy. At some point,

188
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: you will need new breaks. At some point, you will

189
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: need a new refrigerator. Some point you'll need a new

190
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: washer dry I mean, you know those things will go

191
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: out at some point you'll need a new one. Or

192
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: a new couple will get married and they're gonna buy

193
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: a house and they're gonna populate the house with all

194
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: these things. The cycle, that cycle will always continue, so

195
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: it'll you'll always need those things, so they'll always be

196
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: work to be done. It's good paying work. People aspire.

197
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a it's a it's an honest day's work, right,

198
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: People like, Oh, you see all the movies and they

199
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: pan factory work as being mindless, and you know, these

200
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: factory talents is being depressing. Not true. Throughout the Midwest,

201
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: people worked in factories and had wonderful lives. They went

202
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: to work at the factory and they had they had

203
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: a great job, steady job, good pay, and they came

204
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: home to a house that they owned. And by the way,

205
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: one paycheck supported the entire family. One paycheck. Only one

206
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: person had to go to work. Usually it was the husband,

207
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: but it doesn't have to be. Nevertheless, one paycheck supported

208
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: the entire household. And that paycheck paid for the house,

209
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: in the car and put food on the table in

210
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: all these towns throughout the United States, and there was

211
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: money left over to take everybody out to dinner on Friday,

212
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: take the missus out on the town on Saturday, and

213
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: there was money left over to put in the collection

214
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: plate at Sunday Services. I don't believe you that actually

215
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: happened here in the United States. For decades, a generation

216
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: of Americans grew up with that level of economic security.

217
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: And it makes sense why, because we're a nation filled

218
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: with people that need stuff, So why not make the

219
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: stuff that we need and sell it to ourselves. And

220
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: all that money circulates in these small towns and these

221
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: suburbs and these cities, right, and what does that money do.

222
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: That money employs the luncheonette, and it goes to support

223
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: the Little League team and it supports all the local

224
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: services in the local taxes. It's a marvelous process and

225
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: it was a reality, and it moved America from post

226
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: World War two into a superpower. And then we gave

227
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: it away. We literally handed the jobs over, and now

228
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: we importastic plastic prat from China and it breaks in

229
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: two years. If you don't buy the extent of warranty,

230
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: it all goes into the dump, into the city dump,

231
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: and then you gotta run out and buy it again.

232
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: And you think you're ahead of the game because it's

233
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: a little bit cheaper, right. I remember telling the story

234
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: to somebody about the coffee maker, about how my mother

235
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: for ye, I mean she's passed now, but she had

236
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: the same mister coffee coffee maker. I had to be

237
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: like thirty years and it made coffee every single day.

238
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: And I probably went through nine coffee makers from my

239
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: freshman year in college. It's kept breaking. It was a

240
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: piece of crap from China, and you would throw it

241
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: in the garbage and you run on out to Walmart

242
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: to get a new one because it's only nine to

243
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: ninety nine. But you multiply that by the amount that

244
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: you buy over a short period of time. I think

245
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: my mom was ahead of the game with the mister

246
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: coffee eight seven seven three seven seven forty three seventy three.

247
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Lou Penrose sitting in for Jesse Kelly on The Jesse

248
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: Kelly Show. I get a lot of calls. I want

249
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: to get to your stuff. I just wanted to offer

250
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: you that Labor Day message because it's something that we

251
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: don't talk about enough, and it is this is a

252
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: simple solution. We can get into why the jobs left

253
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: in the first place. And to be perfectly honest with you,

254
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of shipping those jobs

255
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: to China, so there's a lot of blame to be placed.

256
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: I am bored with placing blame. Let's just reverse course,

257
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: bring them back, put Americans to work, fire up the

258
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: factories and and and get in first place once again

259
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: and have good quality stuff. Loke Penrose sitting in for

260
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly on The Jesse Kelly Show. I've got on

261

Speaker 2: for Jesse Kelly. Good to be with you, Happy Friday

264
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: eight seven seven three seven seven three seventy three. As

265
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: we head into the big Labor Day weekend talking about jobs,

266
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: American jobs. Let's let us go to Terry Is in

267
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: New York. Terry, you're on the Jesse Kelly Show.

268
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: A wonderful show. You've got a very good, melodious voice.

269
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: Thank you.

270
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Harry's well over the airwaves.

271
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: Good to hear, good to hear.

272
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: And I was in welding. I worked in the welding shop,

273
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: and you know, that's no big deal. I started out

274
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: as a spot welder and went, you know, get a

275
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: lot of grinding and eventually moved into the welding stuff.

276
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: And it's a wonderful, wonderful life. It's a hard life.

277
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Those guys. You got to wonder where they You think

278
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: about Americans and hard workers and all that. You gotta wonder,

279
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: just gotta wonder.

280
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Terry, I appreciate the call. Eight seven seven three

281
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: seven seven forty three seventy three. You can do whatever

282
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: you want in America, and that's wonderful. I think this

283
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: should be the land of opportunity. I think we should

284
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: have nothing but options. We deserve it. Americans work hard.

285
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 2: I think that we are doing ourselves a disservice by

286
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: shipping manufacturing jobs overseas. It doesn't mean you have to

287
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: work at a factory, but you will always need the

288
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: stuff that's in your house. Look around your house. Everything

289
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: in your house, and I mean every single thing in

290
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: your house used to be made in America. And I

291
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: do this. If you follow me on TikTok, I think

292
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: it's Lou Penrose Radio. I'm pretty easy to find Lou Penrose.

293
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: I go through every item in your house and tell

294
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: you the story. Right. I told you the story about

295
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: the mister coffee coffee maker. I told you about General

296
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: Electric and the Westinghouse Corporation. Did I tell you the

297
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: mister coffee coffee maker? I must have. But the furniture

298
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: was manufactured in North Carolina. The wood comes from North Carolina.

299
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: The fabric to cover your chairs and your sofas all

300
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 2: came from upstate New York. All the kitchen account all

301
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: the kitchen appliances, all your blender. If you grew up

302
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: in America post World War Two, the blender and the

303
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: all the bakery things, and all the toaster ovens and

304
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: toasters that you had were Hamilton Beach out of Wisconsin.

305
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: Hamilton was the engineer and Beach was the salesman, or

306
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: maybe it was the other way around. But they were

307
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: high quality appliances and they were in everybody's house and

308
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: everybody had a blender and a toaster. And we manufactured

309
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 2: them in the United States, and they were high quality

310
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: and they lasted forever. Right, people gave them as gifts

311
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: for Christmas. Then you get into the garage, go look

312
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: in your tool Go look at your father's toolbox. They

313
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: were all craftsmen tools. They were all manufactured in Cincinnati.

314
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: They were high quality. I have a screwdriver set that

315
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: my grandfather gave to me when I think I was

316
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: it may have been my fifth birthday. I still have it.

317
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: It was made in America. It's high quality. At all

318
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: the tools that you had in the garage, in your toolbox,

319
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: they were all high quality tools that were made in America.

320
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: Now they're junk and they're all made in China. We

321
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: used to make tools. We used to make the thermostat

322
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: on your wall. Right, I love the thermostat story. So

323
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: in World War Two, a company called Honeywell manufactured They

324
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: were in the radar business, frankly, and they were helping

325
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: guide our ships at sea. And then the war ended

326
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: and the folks at Honeywell said, what are we going

327
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: to do? I mean, we make stuff for war, how

328
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: do we make stuff for peace? And they sat down

329
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: and figured how to retool their factory. And you know what,

330
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: They made thermostats. And there is a Honeywell thermostat on

331
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: every house in America from nineteen fifty to nineteen seventy eight.

332
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: It's that little circle gold thermostat that you remember. It's

333
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: a circle and it's got like a clear little with

334
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: a rough edge, and your grandmother would set the temperature. Yeah,

335
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: that's a Honeywell thermostat. That corporation existed in World War

336
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: two and then they decided to retour. Well that was

337
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: made in America. That'sn't that piece of engineering, by the way,

338
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: and a piece of art, I would add, But you

339
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: go through the house and think back when you were

340
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: a kid, the level of quality that existed. And should

341
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: something break, guess what you called the guy. And a

342
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: guy came with a truck and he had parts on

343
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: the truck and they swapped it out and it continued

344
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: to work for another twenty years. So when you go

345
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: to Costco. Now, I was just at Costco and I'm

346
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: amazed at how inexpensive these flat screen TVs are. They

347
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: really have come down in price. So there was a

348
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: because my boys they put together their Christmas money and

349
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: they bought an updated flats I guess the flat screens

350
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: for gaming are better than the flat screen you used

351
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: to just watch TV that has to be more detailed.

352
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: So they wanted to get an updated flat screen TV.

353
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, like eight ninety nine for a

354
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: flat and it's huge. It's like sixty inches or something.

355
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know how you watch something

356
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: that big. Nevertheless, think that now that's made in China. Okay,

357
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: it's nine hundred dollars. Think about what a flat screen

358
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: TV is, right, reduce it down to its basic elements.

359
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: What do you have, Well, you grind it up into dust,

360
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: flat screen dust. You have plastic, glass, some copper, a

361
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: couple of other elements. You probably have four bucks four

362
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: to eight dollars worth of raw materials. Okay. The difference

363
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: between that eight dollars in raw materials and the eight

364
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: hundred dollars that the TV retails for, that difference represented

365
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: the American manufacturing economy, and that manufacturing economy employed tens

366
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: of thousands of Americans to put televisions in every house

367
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: in America. RCA, Zenith, Emerson, fill it all kinds of brands.

368
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: And that's just in television. Now the television has changed.

369
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: It's not this great big cathode ray two box. It's

370
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: now a flat screen. But we certainly could manufacture it

371
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: here in the United States. We have plastic, we have glass, right,

372
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: we have all the raw materials. We have steel, we

373
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: have rubber, we have copper, and we have mines in

374
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: the United States, and we have lumber yards in the

375
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: United States, and we have steel mills in Birmingham, Alabama.

376
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: We have everything to make all the stuff that we use,

377
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: and we could be making it here in the United States,

378
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: and it would help support the American manufacturing economy. Because

379
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: you cannot just have a you can't have a growing

380
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: prosperous economy doing each other's laundry. Somebody has to take

381
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: raw materials and make something out of it. Where the

382
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: raw materials represent four dollars and the finished product represents

383
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars. That's the magic. And right now that

384
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 2: magic is going on in China. And we're bringing in

385
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: all this plastic craft from China duty free while the

386
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: Americans dry to work in the Midwest. It's not a

387
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: recipe for success. The good news is I have the

388
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: recipe for success. Eight seven seven three seven seven forty

394
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: big holiday weekend, Hey, if you're going to celebrate, check

395
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 2: your sandwich meat India where you from? Uh, let's see here.

396
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: This is the largest listeria outbreak since twenty eleven. Bors

397
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: had recalled seven point two million pounds of Deli meat,

398
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: several kinds of ham, baloney, bacon, and sausage after samples

399
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: of unopened products tested positive for the bacteria that causes listeriosis.

400
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. That's a bad bacteria. You don't

401
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: want that. And it was in sealed container, you know,

402
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: sealed meat. What are you saying there? Baloney? It's everything

403
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: I think it's everything that I eat of.

404
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: Unopened products tested positive for the bacteria. Several kinds of ham, baloney, bacon,

405
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: and sausage after samples.

406
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, ham blooney, it's everything, salami, gaba ghoul. They got

407
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: the whole Uh, they got my entire sandwich drawer. And

408
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: the thing is, they say that if you've had it,

409
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: if you have any boars head what we call coal

410
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: cuts or deli meats, it's not enough to just toss it.

411
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: You've got to like steam clean your entire refrigerator.

412
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: If you have bors had deli meat in your fridge.

413
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: Still it's not enough to just throw away the products.

414
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: Health officials say you need to clean your refrigerator as

415
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: listeria can grow inside. Say you made a sandwich and

416
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 4: then touched other things in the fridge. That's really important.

417
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: Right, really important. And I can't imagine where that disease

418
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: would be in my house after my boys made themselves

419
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: a turkey and cheese, like I think they do, touch

420
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: other things and we'd get all over the house. So

421
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: the number of cases now of contaminated meat from boar's head.

422
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: The outbreak started in late May and at the end

423
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: of July, over seven million pounds of deli meat were recalled.

424
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: What started as just a recall on liverwurst expanded to

425
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: include more than seventy bores had products, including ham, beef,

426
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: and salami, all made at the company's plant in Virginia.

427
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: So now the Department of Agriculture has checked the boar's

428
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: Head plant in Virginia and they found other problems there.

429
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, it started out with just live a worst

430
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: and it turns out that all the meats, like everything

431
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: that place was really problematic. And according to the recall,

432
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: it all it's all for bores Head stuff sold up

433
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: until July thirty first, and I'm thinking you should be

434
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: through that by now, right. I mean, I certainly have

435
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: been through a number of half pounds of turkey since

436
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: July thirty first, But check the dates on the stuff

437
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: and toss it if it's boor's head and it was

438
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: purchased before the thirty first of July. But are you

439
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: ready for this? If you do make yourself a sandwich

440
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: with some ham and cheese that was contaminating, they tell

441
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: us that listeria can hit you ten weeks after, so

442
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: you could eat the sandwich in July and get sick.

443
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: In September. That's amazing, that's absolutely incredible. Eight seven seven

444
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: three seven seven forty three seventy three. Cook yourself a

445
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: hamburger and stay away from the cool coats just until

446
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: this thing flushes out. Let us go to Larry in Pennsylvania. Larry,

447
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: you're on the Jesse Kelly Show.

448
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: All right, lou And the Democratic Party has been rebuilt

449
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 5: into a left wing, lunatic party because of the sixty

450
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 5: five Immigration Act, illegal immigration, refugee clown programs, and visa violators.

451
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 5: I mean, just look at it. This candidate for the

452
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: Democrats has led in ten million illegals to murder Americans,

453
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 5: rape American women, and she's neck and neck in the polls. Well,

454
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: that's the reason why they rebuilt the party into a

455
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 5: left wing party. A lot of them are on welfare,

456
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 5: food stamps. Inflation doesn't mean nothing to them, and they

457
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: want to bring in millions and millions of more people

458
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: in here. And unfortunately, we've also sent out a manufacturing

459
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 5: base overseas. We sent it out to China. Now here's

460
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 5: the problem thirty years from now when China wants to

461
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: fight us, and we're really in a hell hole position

462
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: of what are we gonna do. It was our trade

463
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: programs that rebuilt China, turned those serial killers into billion

464
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: and trillionaires. Now you want our eighteen year old American

465
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: boys to fight them, I think not, baby. Go if

466
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: you can't e go, go if you can't go, Larry.

467
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, and I don't disagree with the

468
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: idea of study we did. There's no question that American

469
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: trade policy moved our factories and our manufacturing to Southeast Asia,

470
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: no question about it. Why I will never understand. But

471
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 2: the good news is this is reversible. This is you

472
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: can untangle this not this is not that hard. We

473
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: will always use all the stuff we buy from China.

474
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: Everything that in your house used to be made in

475
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: the United States and can still be made in the

476
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: United States. Almost all of the raw materials exist under

477
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: our feet here in the United States. The infrastructure to

478
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: manufacture it, to bring it from the raw material places

479
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: to the factory towns and then to the major cities

480
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: is all laid. It's all there. The railways are all there,

481
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: and the roadways are all there. We still have trucks.

482
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: It's all good. It's ready to go. It's calling us

483
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: the American manufacturing economy is calling us. All we need

484
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: to do is answer the call, and it provides good

485
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: jobs for Americans. Right, you don't need a four year

486
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: degree to go work at a factory. But if you

487
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: go to work for a factory, guess what. You start

488
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: out on the line, and then you move up and

489
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: you become a supervisor, and then you become a shift

490
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: to leader, and then the foreman retires and everybody moves up,

491
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: and they all move up in their ready to pay.

492
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: It's a working system. And not everybody in America wants

493
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: to be a rocket scientist. Some Americans just want to

494
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: go to work at a good job that pays a

495
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: fair wage. Most of the problems we have in America

496
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: today are not because people are unemployed. It's because they're underemployed.

497
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: They're not inspired by their job. They go and they

498
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: schlep at work, and because they don't feel like they're

499
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: getting paid enough, and they're not right in real dollars,

500
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: your grandfather took home a heartier paycheck. Your father took

501
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: home a heartier paycheck than you are. Even though the

502
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: minimum wage is constantly rising and you know wages are

503
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: going up, Inflation is eating up all that wage growth,

504
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: so you're actually behind, and you feel it. We all do.

505
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: So that's why having an option like manufacturing is a

506
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: good thing, because we'll always needed. It'll always be there.

507
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: The help wanted signs Hiring today was the sign out

508
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: front of every factory in America from nineteen forty eight

509
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: to nineteen seventy eight. Hiring today. Anybody could get a job,

510
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: and many people did and lived wonderful quality lives. We

511
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: cannot have a prosperous, growing, expanding economy that would provide

512
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: us with the quality of life in America that we

513
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: deserve and we want simply doing each other's laundry and

514
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: making each other's beds. So let's get busy. Let's bring

515
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: the jobs back, let's fire up the factories, let's put

516
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: Americans back to work, and let's make things here in America.

517
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: There'll be higher quality. We'll be employing Americans. All the

518
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: money circulates in our own country. We keep the plastic

519
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: craft from China out of our country and out of

520
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: the city dump and out of the landfills. It's good

521
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: from Mother Earth. It's good for Americans, and it's the

522
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: way to go. And that's my story and I'm sticking

523
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: to it. Have yourselves a fantastic holiday weekend. Jesse Kelly

524
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,319
