WEBVTT - TV: The Biggest Issue 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:04.120 What are your issues? What do you vote on? I'm 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.640 gonna tell you mine and show you an example of 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.200 why tonight we have Michelle Tafoya here. Why isn't she 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.440 on Sunday Night Football anymore? That and so much more 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:26.200 coming up? And I'm right, priorities we all have them. 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.720 I mean we're all different. Everyone's priority is different. And 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.559 we're gonna go said, We're gonna talk a little bit 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.639 about my priorities for the country and why they are 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.440 what they are. But you have them in your own 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.319 personal life too, right, I do too. You have an 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.880 order of things you play some importance on food, shelter, water, 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:48.839 that kind of stuff, basic human needs, life, husband, kids, 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.040 whatever you got, job, that did you have? You have 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:57.000 your life ordered priorities. I keep priorities in politics, you 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:03.400 do too. This is human nature. You vote on certain issues. Now, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.600 that doesn't mean you don't or I don't have strong 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.479 feelings about many issues you watch. I'm right every night, 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.479 I have strong feelings about all of them. But when 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.560 it comes to things like twenty twenty four, the choosing 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.920 of the GOP nominee, the presidential primary, as you know, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.759 I am currently an undecided voter, as of this moment, 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.639 not a single person has earned my vote. It's my vote, 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.160 that's the only one I get. It's the only political 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.919 power I have. I intend to use my political power 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.839 to the max. So not that I think that they're 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.840 going to sit and screaming, yell on wine over just 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.320 me and my vote. But if you were a GOP 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.680 presidential candidate for twenty twenty four, how would you earn 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:50.440 my vote? What do I prioritize? Well, two things. One 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:56.520 COVID lockdowns, the Land of the Free turning into a 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.920 police state, governments actually telling people no, you can't go 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.520 to work, people saying goodbye to their dying mother on 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.320 a zoom call, children now who can't read COVID lockdowns, 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.760 If you participated in them, and virtually every Republican candidate 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.079 running for office did participate in them and push them 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.000 all of them, did I need to hear how you 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.680 will address that? If I get ownership, if I get apologies, 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.519 if I get I don't know, some sort of contrition, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.120 I will consider giving you my vote. If I don't 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.920 get those things, you can never earn my vote as 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.440 a Republican nominee. You simply cannot, period. Don't care who 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.079 you are. I don't live in a tyranny. I live 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.920 in the land of the free. That's one. Two. This 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.160 is actually my only other one, even though I have 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.799 such strong feelings about a variety of issues. My other 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.160 thing that I will vote on for the twenty twenty 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:01.440 four presidential nominee is I want to know about your 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:06.960 plans for the administrative state in this country. More specifically, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.080 even though all of it's bad, More specifically, I want 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.320 to know what you're going to do with the DOJ 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.200 and the FBI. And before I elaborate on this and 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.240 I go into what Merrick Garland said yesterday, I want 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.639 to be clear about something. I've said this before, I'm 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.200 going to say it again. Do you know how many 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:34.200 people Hitler Mao, Stalin pol Pot. Do you know how 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.120 many people those guys killed after they achieve total power? 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.640 You know how many people they killed? None? Not, according 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.960 to any records we have. They didn't personally kill anybody 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.760 once they achieve power. So how did all those millions 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:59.920 of people die? Well, their administrative states killed them. There's 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.040 state beliefs. Did the killing in whatever form it took. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.320 If we have a federal Bureau of investigation that has 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.119 become the weaponized arm of the Democratic Party, and that's 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.920 very much what we do have. It will end the 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.720 United States of America if it is not fixed. I 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640 want to know, as a candidate, I want you to 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.240 tell me what you're going to do about it. I 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:31.080 watched Merrick Garland yesterday. I watched him do something not 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.440 that not that surprised me, but man, I already felt 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.960 this way, but it just drove something home. Merrick Garland 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.360 sitting in front of the United States Senate, that's a 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.440 big deal, right, an intimidating deal. Merrick Garland sat in 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.479 front of them and said something that is it's kind 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.800 of funny on the surface, but it's so unbelievably sinister 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.760 and a little bit intimidating when you actually think about it. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.280 Here's what he said. I will say, you are quite right. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.239 There are many more prosecutions with respect to the blocking 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.880 of the of the abortion centers, but that is generally 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.520 because they are those actions are taken with photography at 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.000 the time during the daylight, and seeing the person who 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.240 did it is quite easy. Those who are attacking the 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.360 pregnancy Resources centers, which is a horrid thing to do, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:35.760 are doing this at night in the dark. I'm sorry, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.320 mister producer, Maybe I got that wrong. Did he just 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.080 say we can't find the people burning down pregnancy centers 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.920 because they're doing it in the dark. Obviously, that's laugh 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.760 out loud, idiotic. It's crazy, the top law enforcement officer 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.520 in the United States of America claiming they can't seem 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.680 to track down those street communists because it's dark out. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.599 It's ridiculous. Song. It's surf, but it's so much more 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.920 sinister when you think about it. It's so much more 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.360 evil when you think about it. And you know what's 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:11.920 sinister and evil about it, the level of disrespect that 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:17.440 shows to the Senate and the American people. If I 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.440 develop a drinking problem, Let's say I just decided to 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.760 start hitting the bottle, and I want to hide it 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.640 from the wife, So I start on the way o 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.800 from the studio. Every single night, I decide I'm gonna 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.839 stop at the bar and have me to have me 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.680 about five or six drinks. But I don't want to 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.520 tell her. So the first night when I show home late, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.160 When I show up at home late, I say, oh, 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.240 I had a flat tire. She's gonna say, oh, that sucks. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.680 I'm sorry, let's get it fixed. But then when I 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.600 say that, the second night I do that, and the 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.400 third night I do that, She's going to know right away. Okay, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.200 he doesn't have a flat tire. He's been lying. But 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.000 if I keep telling this blatant lie to her face 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.080 over and over and over again, sorry, I'm like I 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.320 had a flat tire. What does that tell you about 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:04.080 my level of respect for her? The Attorney General of 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.320 the United States of America set in front of the 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.520 United States Senate and told them he couldn't arrest street 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.640 communists because it's too dark outside. You GOP senators who 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.760 watched this show in your staffers, what do you think 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:21.920 that says about you and his thoughts on you? And 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.120 this all comes, by the way, as the government, the 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.520 administrative state, is embarking in pr campaign. There's no other 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.280 way to put it. You've seen all these headlines come 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.480 out bizarrely, in about the last week, there have been 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:41.000 all these FBI headlines coming out that kind of kind 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.760 of make the FBI look a little better to you, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.640 don't they. The FBI came out and said, hey, we 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.640 always knew COVID came from a lab Wait, what hold on? 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.280 What are you right wingers? Now? FBI's out there sitting 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.160 down with Brett Byer. Hey, I'll just want to sit 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:59.840 down and give an interview. Well, why is all that happening? 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.520 Why is the why the pr campaign? Because they know 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.160 they're about to have to give testimony the same way 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.800 Merrit Garland just did in front of the United States 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.200 House of Representatives and probably the Senate, and they're simply 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:18.120 trying to soften their image. But back to what we're 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:23.720 talking about priorities for twenty twenty four, why do I 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.840 make that a priority? We don't have a country anymore 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.080 if this continues, it's really that serious. I need to 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.800 get this through to everybody. I've been shouting this at 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.080 the GOP over and over again. This is not a 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:43.280 small thing. This is not bias. These people possess the 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.640 power to send thirty armed federal agents to your front 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.880 door to arrest you for being pro life, and they're 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.360 using that power and that's what they're doing. Now, what 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.200 does that look like ten years from now, fifteen years 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.240 from now, twenty years and now, Chuck Grassley, the whistleblowers 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:08.960 listen to Chuck Grassley. Recent lawfully protective. Whistleblower disclosures to 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.160 my office indicate that the Justice Department and the FBI 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.760 had at one time over a dozen sources that provided 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.959 potentially criminal information relating to Hunter Byte. I have a 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.160 pledge not to interfere with that investigation, and I have 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:32.440 carried through on my pledge. They covered up for the 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.920 president for the Sun and the president of the United 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.240 States of America so he could win an election and 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.120 Donald Trump would lose an election. And they've continued that 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.840 cover up ever since. We have dozens of whistleblowers coming 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.920 forward to talk about that. We have now a praetorian guard. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.080 We have a checkup. Not in the future, it's right now. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.720 When I'm going into cast my vote in twenty twenty four, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.240 I want to hear the plan because you no longer 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.040 live in the land of the free if this is 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.040 what we have. And by the way, speaking of getting 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.760 a little bit in your face and bold, it's time 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.160 for us to embark on a mission. Get ready, because 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.840 you're gonna hear me to talk about You're gonna hear 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.600 me talk about this a lot on this show from 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.520 now on. I have decided that we are going to 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.040 start a you voted for this campaign in our personal lives. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.880 You see, this is what's happened in this country for 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.920 years in years in years. Who has been the aggressive 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.120 political person in your life? Who's the one who has 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.400 to bring up politics no matter what? The Democrat. They 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.280 show up at the family house, They show up at Thanksgiving, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.000 ruining Thanksgiving. I love Hilary chop Sacks. They show up 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.400 at the neighborhood parties, they show up at the school 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.440 they're allowed at the school boards. They have been loud 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.240 and bold for a long time about what they believe, 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.599 and it is time to return the favor. I have 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.280 had my fill of people who Democrat complaining about the 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.079 destruction that has come their way. I actually laughed when 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.240 I saw this yesterday. You know that New York City 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.000 is going to pay twenty thousand dollars a piece to 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.840 the Black Lives Matter protesters who were burning down the 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.520 city just because they arrested them. And then I had 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.000 a New York friend of mine. This is what really 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.720 set me off. I had a New York friend of 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.400 mine telling me what idiocy. I can't believe this, And 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.560 you know what I told him? It felt so good. 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.400 I told him you voted for that. It's time to 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.840 start getting more aggressive with friends, family, co workers. It's 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.760 time to stop coddling crazy Aunt Peggy talking about Democrat again. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.480 This time, when crazy Aunt Peggy shows up at the 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.360 Thanksgiving dinner and she starts complaining about the price of gas, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.480 don't leave the room, don't hide, don't change the subject. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.840 Look at Aunt Peggy and say, you voted for that. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.280 The next time you see some drag filth. I just 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.559 saw United Airlines. They just flew a flight from San 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.200 Francis as good as Sydney, and they're bragging about the 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.280 all LGBTQ plus crew, all kinds of trannies and everything 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.720 else packed in there. And you talk to your buddy. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.400 Maybe it's even your dad or your uncle. He's been 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.040 voting Democrat his whole life. While I was in a Union, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.559 I gotta vote for Joe. And then he looks at 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.760 that out and he complains about it. Jesse. I don't 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.480 like it, Jesse. It's crazy Dad. You voted for that. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.640 You voted for that, You voted for that. The time 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.600 of being passive has passed us by the time to 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.280 be aggressive is now. The next time you're a well 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:43.239 meaning Democrat co worker, friend, family member complains about Democrat policies. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.120 No more coddling, No more mommy. This country has very 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.440 clearly had way too much mommy time. It's time for 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.120 daddy to step in from now on. You voted for that, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.080 normalize it all. That may have made you uncomfortable, but 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:06.200 I am right now. Let's address the Ukraine thing briefly. Briefly, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.800 the whole Russia Ukraine thing. We're going to address that. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.040 Let's let's get to you know, let's get to something good. 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:18.200 Let's get to something good. Coffee. Who doesn't love coffee. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.920 I am a two cup of day person. I used 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.760 to be a four or five cup of day person, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.120 and then I realized that I do have to probably 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.719 try to limit that a bit. The problem is this 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.720 for me now, now I have bone Frog coffee. You see, 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.679 that's coffee that supports veterans. You see what the bone 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.960 Frog is is it honors the fallen seals, the warriors 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360 who gave their lives for this country. And not only 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.840 do I get the best coffee ever, I get the 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:56.080 knowledge that my coffee purchase helps support people who need 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.560 our support when they come back from combat. You see 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.440 I get the best cup of coffee in the world, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.840 and I get to feel good about drinking it. Go 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:10.480 to bone Frog Coffee dot com promo code Jesse ten 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.120 issue ten percent off subscriptions. I have a subscription because 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.040 I drink two cups every single day, so I know 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.800 exactly when it runs out. I always have a new 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.120 bag waiting for me before I run out. Bone Frog 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:27.000 Coffee dot com code Jesse ten. All right, we'll be bad. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:41.840 They need more ammunition, more long range precision weapons and yes, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.800 fighter jets. Uh this and the and the issue really 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.000 is that, um, you know right now, they're dying. Every 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.000 day they're dying. So what what we are waiting for? 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.960 Seems to still be attached to this. I would argue 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:08.560 overcautious concern related to a nuclear weapon, overcautious related to 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.920 nuclear weapons. Joining me now my buddy b K Brian Kimber. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.320 He's hosted the World News with b K podcast, also 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.200 former Air Force PJ. B K. I don't know why 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.800 everyone's stressing about nuclear weapons. I don't see what the 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.880 big deal is. Yeah, Jesse, I'll tell you what. I'm 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.640 looking at this with growing alarm. I'm watching what's going 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.120 on in Bachmot. These are some of the worst casualties 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.360 we've ever seen in the history of warfare. You know, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.400 you go back through the great battles of history and 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.960 the psalm were done in World War One, Antietam, in 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:45.160 the United States, Gettysburg. We're rapidly approaching that if something 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.480 isn't done in that seat, and that's just in that 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.800 one battle. This is a human tragedy. In my eyes, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.080 it doesn't and I don't care whose side you're on. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.520 I think Ukraine should be able to defend themselves. The 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.200 essay can. But this is hundreds of thousands of people 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.280 dying a year, and in that city alone, Jesse, we're 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.280 talking tens of thousands of casualties in a matter of weeks. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.640 And this is a whole new era of warfare. It's 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.640 drone warfare. This has bogged down into an artillery bombardment 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.840 and there's no end in sight. Zelenski is vowing to 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.920 fight to the end. I've been seeing some of the 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.640 chatter on telegram channels where various Ukrainian commanders are like, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.120 we are putting new recruits into these trenches and we're 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.280 looking at a average of like sometimes four hours of 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.640 a recruit lasting in bach Moot before they're killed one 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.640 day at best, and they're just throwing these young kids 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.960 into the meat grinder. RuSHA is doing the same thing. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.200 Vladimir Boutin is clearly out of his mind, Jesse, as 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.200 I pulled you a long time ago. I don't think 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.400 this ends unless something is done internally about Vladimir Putin, 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.400 and overall, I don't even like watching the social media 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.840 videos anymore. It's a it's a human tragedy. We're we're 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.200 not We're not even talking like you know ices people 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.280 factions killing each other, right, We're talking about Ukrainians like 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:08.399 physics professors, teachers, electric you know, electricians, engineers. Those are 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.639 the people now taking up arms to defend their country 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.000 and they're all just getting obliterated. And it's it's it's 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.639 shocking to see. Is a half Ukrainian myself, my people 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.560 are from there, you know, one hundred years or so ago. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.920 It's it's devastating, it is, it's horrible. I think about 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.439 the Russian troops too, because they're grabbing these guys and 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.640 constricted them in there. You're right, the videos, I don't 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.080 like them anymore. B K. I've gotten to the point 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.760 in this whole thing where I hate Vladimir Putin, I 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.600 hate Zelensky pretty much just as much. I only care 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.560 about the people, and I want the thing to end. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.400 What I can't figure out is how it ends. We 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.520 very clearly are not going to stop, and as long 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.719 as we're pouring America's military equipment into their Ukraine can 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.520 go on a while. Putin can't afford to stop or 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.880 he's going to get murdered. So how does this end? 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.320 It's unclear. You know, our Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.040 was just over at the G twenty meeting. He was 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.600 able to not have an official meeting with their his counterpart, 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.560 that's Seragei Lavrov, long time for Minister of Russia, and 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.879 they basically had a little bit of an aside and 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.800 Lincoln said basically, hey, we want you to stop, and 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.400 Lavrov basically said, well, we're not going to and Lincoln said, well, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.520 neither are we. And then it was like okay, and 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.600 I guess that's what we're doing. So everybody's dug in 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:25.879 and I don't know what's going what it's going to 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.680 take now. I you know, China is now posting basic summits, 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.880 and they are looking at nations like Saudi Arabia, who 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.639 has stayed neutral, but Saudi Arabia is now making significant 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:42.760 contributions humanitarian but still and this is a geopolitical war 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.800 that affects everything it touches. And I just don't see 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.879 how it ends until and Jesse, even when it does end, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.879 who wins. Nobody's gonna win. If Russia prevails, they're going 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.560 to inherit a giant waste land. If Ukraine prevails, they 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.880 will have to deal with decades and decades of rebuilding 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.840 that country. And there's there's just no winners here. No, 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:09.080 that's true, bk' I'm not naive. I know Russian. There's 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.240 not gonna be a couple of Russian divisions landing on 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.399 the shores of California marching towards Washington anytime soon. But 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.439 I also do know that this is a sophisticated power, 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.000 clearly not on our level. But they do have the 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.120 ability to touch us here. Is that something you think 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.160 they would do in one way? And if so, what 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.720 can they do to us? I would like to rule 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.240 that out, Jesse. With this Vladimir Putin, you can't rule 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:37.920 anything out as you and I have discussed on the 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.919 radio show many times. He sees himself is the great, 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.840 the great man who's going to bring back the Soviet 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.600 Union without so much of the communism, Like that's what 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.000 he really wants. He felt that Russia was wronged after 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.160 the collapse of the Soviet Union, that they lost their 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.560 power and influence of the world. And he sees himself 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.400 as this great man who's going to reunite this country 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.159 again and once again make it world power. But in 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.240 while he's doing that, he's made himself and all of 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.480 Russians complete varias on the world stage. And I don't 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.399 you have to take this with a huge grain of salt, 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.720 But you look at opinion polls out of Russia, and 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.720 I've looked at many different sources, and the people there 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.639 either have been brainwashed so much or just dranking so 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.359 much propaganda that they really believe what Putin is saying 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:28.920 about d nazifying Ukraine, and they really believe this crap. Yeah, 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.040 and you can understand the Russians being a little bit 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.760 sensitive if there are Nazis on their border. Being is 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.920 how that didn't work out very well for anyone. Last 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.119 time there were Nazis on their borders. All right, b K. 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.280 We have a serious recruiting crisis in this country, and 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.800 this is actually more complicated than everyone makes it believe. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.359 Our population of young men is too fatten out of 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.399 shape to make it. Many of them have been on 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.320 too many medications to qualify. Already, you're shrinking the recruiting pool. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.280 But then you get to all the stuff that we've 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.040 talked about a million times on this show. Young men 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.960 in Louisiana who've been shooting where else since they were 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.880 one and a half years old, don't want to join 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.200 the US of Gay Army and learn how they're evil 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.240 for being white. They simply won't. They'll go do something else. BK. 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.560 And obviously I'm being kind of tongue in cheek, but 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:16.720 it's true. We're losing warriors to college or create trade 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.240 score wherever they're going. But that next Medal of honor 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:20.600 winner is not going to win because he's not going 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.560 to be in uniform. Yeah, you know, Jess, there's a 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.160 there's a whole right, This topic has been debated endlessly, right, 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.639 but I can definitely see right now, like you and I, 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.760 we're post nine to eleven, right, and we felt that calling. 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.840 I felt that calling, you know, I saw those towers 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.440 come down. My brother was already an officer in the Marine, 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.239 an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. He 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.280 was gearing up right away. I'm living in Los Angeles, 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.160 thinking I need to be a part of this somehow, 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.520 and I just felt the call. There is no call now. 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.399 And it became clear, even like a few years in, 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.000 that this was going to be a grinder as far 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.040 as the global war and terror. But at least there 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.920 was like a call. At least something happened to us, 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.720 like World War Two when Pearl Harbor was attacked and 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.800 young men line the streets saying, I have to be involved? 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.000 How dare they? There's why would you sign up? Now? 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.399 Did God forbid be sent over to Ukraine or NATO 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.760 country where you could be vaporized before even seeing the 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.719 front line or firing a weapon and anger? I just 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:22.080 don't see it. It's you could not pay me enough 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.160 to honestly be a military recruiter to these days. Yeah, 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.840 how are you talking into it? Hit? It's podcast, It's 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.000 World News with BK. I love it, Thank you, brother, 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:38.600 Thanks Jesse. Oh by God? All right, Michelle Tafoya is 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.760 going to join us next, a former Sunday Night football fame, 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.520 Michelle Tafoya, How about that. Before we get to that, 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:51.240 let's get to something real quick here. Something that hit 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.840 me hard. You probably heard me talk about this before, 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.960 is talking to my buddies when we got back from 0:22:57.960 --> 0:22:59.800 my rack, and most of us, most of the guys 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.159 I joined with about the time, it just kind of 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.160 worked out this way. About the time my unit got 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.160 back from my rack, we got out a matter of months. 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:08.560 For me, I think it was two three months we 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.000 got back to point was over my four year and 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.360 list it was up. And I talked to a bunch 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:14.920 of them today and a bunch of them are doing 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.560 very well, and a bunch of them are not. And 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.040 when we sit down and break bread, have beer, you 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.760 find out that they just felt left alone when they 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.240 got back, and they didn't they didn't know how to 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:33.760 put themselves back together, angry, diving into the bottle, whatever. 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.240 It's just no one helped them put themselves back together. 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.640
