1
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Show on a Thursday. Gosh, it's gonna be so much

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: fun for the rest of the show and tomorrow shoot

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's asked Doctor Jesse Friday. It's your questions into Jesse

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly Show dot Com. I'm gonna get to

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: the tunnel rats thing here in a second. Just hang

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: with me. But I already played you audio of Brian

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Stelter embarrassing himself and CNN at this big media conference

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: where they all gather and pet each other on the

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: back and congratulate each other on how important they are,

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: because being in the media is obviously a very important job.

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: But it would be unfair to Brian, and I would

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: never want that to happen. It would be unfair to

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: Brian to single him out as the only one who

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: came off looking like a scumbag. Ann applebaumb was there,

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: and I want you to listen very closely to what

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: she has to say to the student who asked about

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: her not reporting on the Hunter Biden story and credit

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: where credits due. My friend Jack Posibik pointed this out

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: earlier today. Anne Applebaum spent significant amounts of time while

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was president, asking questions about Ivanka, asking questions

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: about Don Junior, very very concerned about the children of

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: the president and how involved they were. And well, sit

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: back and enjoy. I'm Daniel Schmidt. I'm a freshman at

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the University of Chicago. My question is for miss applebaumb

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty, he wrote, those who live outside

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the Fox News bubble do not, of course need to

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: learn any of the stuff about Hunter Biden, referring to

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: his laptop of curse. A pole later after that found

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: that if voters knew about the content of the laptop,

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: sixteen percent of Joe Biden voters would have acted differently. Now,

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: of course, we know a few weeks ago the New

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: York Times confirmed that the content is real. Do you

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: think the media acted inappropriately when they instantly dismissed Hunter

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Biden's offtop as Russian disinformation? And what can we learn

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: from that and ensuring that what we label as this

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: information is truly disinformation and not reality. My problem with

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop is I think totally irrelevant. I mean,

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: it's not whether it's disinformation or I mean, I didn't

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: think the Hunter Biden's business relationships have anything to do

41
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: with who should be President of the United States. So

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I didn't find I don't find it to be interesting.

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean that that would be my problem with that

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: as a major news story. Yeah, my problem is you're

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: a dirty, disgusting liar and you're acting like you don't

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: find it interesting when one you found it very interesting

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: under Trump, but to the president of the United States

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: of America has a different set of rules for him

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: and should a different set of standards. I have two sons,

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: Lord Willing. My sons turn out to be good men,

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot better men than I am, that's for sure,

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Lord Willing, they do. But what if one of them

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: turns into a psychopathic method who enjoys ladies of the

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: night in Europe a little bit too much? It's not

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: a big deal. I mean, it's a big deal for

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: me personally, it's a big deal for them. But career wise,

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: does it hurt the radio show? Does it affect me

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: being able to sit down and wildly entertain the masses

59
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: every night? Chris, No, of course not. Of course, it

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I'm a radio guy. The President of the

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: United States of America regularly makes decisions that affect billions

62
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: of people. And if he is compromised because his son

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: is a grease fire, it's a very big deal. She

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: knows it's a big deal. She's chosen to become a propagandist.

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: And again I asked the question, how do we overcome that?

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: How do we overcome that? We even have losers who

67
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: still pretend they're on the right, like Jonah Goldberg, who initially,

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: of course tried to deny that the laptop was real.

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: He actually mocked everyone who thought it was real, and well,

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: this was him at that same stupid conference talk about

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: a too c They now think that if only the

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: media had told us about the laptop at the time,

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: as the kid yesterday was suggesting, which I don't buy his,

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you know theory, that Trump would have won, you know,

75
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: but for the censoring of the New York Post, Trump

76
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: would have won. And it's I think it's a preposterous

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: counter factual. But it's also it's impossible for me to refute.

78
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: In the same way, I cannot refute that this bottle

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: is keeping all the polar Bears away? Right? Um, I mean,

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: do you see any polar bears? Right? I cannot I

81
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: cannot prove the negative. And um, and this isn't just

82
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: that it has now become can we lock the doors?

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Just it? I'm not gonna listen to their lame, stupid jokes.

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: These people actively covered for the Joe Biden family so

85
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden could win an election and then proceed to

86
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: destroy the country. And these people not only aren't taking

87
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: any accountability for it, they're going to do it again

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: and again and again and again. And I ask the

89
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: question again, how can we survive that? How can we

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: survive that level of disinformation? Because remember, and we always

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: have to keep this in mind, this stuff drives you insane.

92
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: You already do all this. You probably heard a lot

93
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: of this audio today. I know this, but you have

94
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: to keep in mind, it's not you that's the problem.

95
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: It's the average American who isn't listening to talk radio.

96
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: He's not watching the first TV. By the way, I

97
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: have another great show tonight on the first TV nine

98
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: pm tonight. He doesn't consume information the way you do

99
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: seek out the truth. The average person he still votes

100
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: and he believes what he sees on the television. He

101
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: believes what he hears. And if we have a media

102
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: entirely dedicated to lying on behalf of the communists. How

103
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: can we overcome that? I don't know. I don't know.

104
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: All right, that's enough of that for now. We're gonna

105
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: get to some emails because I have I have more

106
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: information about food and food prices and man, there's it

107
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: might be a little dark. So I'm gonna hold off

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: on that for a minute. Remember you can still email

109
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: the show your love, your hate, your death threats, whatever

110
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: you want. Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. I'm

111
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna get to this food stuff in a second, but

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: I want to get to some email. Hey, Jesse, I

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: know one of the first tunnel rats. All right, pause

114
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: here for one second. Before I read the rest of

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: this email, I have to do a couple of things. One,

116
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: I try the best I can not to talk over

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: anyone's head. Now that's easy for me because I'm stupid

118
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: and uneducated. But some things I geek out on, like history,

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: I realize I might end up talking over someone's head,

120
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: and so I say the word tunnel rat and people

121
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: must think, oh, you mean the New York Rats or

122
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: something like that. No, no no, no, no. In Vietnam, there

123
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: was an extensive system of tunnels and holes in the ground,

124
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: especially in South Vietnam. Now most of these holes in tunnels.

125
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: This whole tunnel system, most of it was created actually

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: when the Vietnamese were fighting the French, trying to get

127
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: rid of the French back in the fifties. But it's

128
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: an extensive system of tunnels. And when I say there's

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: a tunnel in the ground, I think you get an

130
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: image in your head of this big tunnel. Maybe you

131
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: have to maybe you have to crouch through or go

132
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: through on your hands and knees, but it's a tunnel

133
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: from A to B. You know, you'll go in a

134
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: tunnel at the base of this tree, and fifty meters later,

135
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: after you're done crawling on your hands and knees, you

136
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: come out of the tunnel at the base of that tree. No,

137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: these tunnels, honestly, it's it's sometimes it's hard for me

138
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: to describe them because I don't have a lot of phobias.

139
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't do great if I'm in a situation where

140
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: my shoulders are touching seth, where I'm in a tight

141
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: spot like that. It's not like a panic and freak,

142
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not comfortable. My heart rate is definitely up.

143
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: These things. You're not crawling through them on your hands

144
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: and knees, you're crawling through them on your belly. Remember,

145
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: they're Vietnamese people, so they're made for people who are small. Obviously,

146
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: Vietnamese people are small, they're slight, and they're short, so

147
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: you're crawling through these things barely fitting. We had to

148
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: pick our smallest guys to go through these things. And

149
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: they're so much more intricate than a tunnel from A

150
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: to B. These things they had all kinds of curves.

151
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: They weren't in a straight line. They had curves. Why

152
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: why put in curves so you couldn't just chuck a

153
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: grenade in there and blow everyone up. These things had

154
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: levels to them. Imagine the painstaking, backbreaking work it takes

155
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: to have a tunnel where you would crawl down and

156
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: then oh, here's a door. I'll go down a level

157
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: where there's more tunnels. Oh, I'll go up a level

158
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: where there's another tunnel. These things had cafeterias, hospitals in them. Now,

159
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: obviously it's a little rough, but under the ground, a

160
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: tunnel system under the ground unlike anything, honestly I've ever

161
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: heard of before. I know this is something stupid and

162
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: nerd out on, but I think about how long it

163
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: must have taken to dig all these out. How long

164
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: does it take to get one bucket of dirt out

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: of a tunnel when you're three levels down? Think about that.

166
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: It's amazing, right, So that brings me to point number two,

167
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna read. I'm gonna finish. I'm gonna finish

168
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: reading this email. But that brings me to point number two.

169
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do a podcast, a history podcast,

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: probably pretty soon, on the tunnel and what all was involved.

171
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: I'll get into more detail in it. I actually would

172
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: love to interview a tunnel rat. There aren't many of

173
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: them left. The Once I describe something to you, when

174
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I come back, you'll understand why. But most of them

175
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: died or if they came back, really did not want

176
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: to elaborate on what they did. And I understand that.

177
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: But they're getting older, and as those old timers start dying,

178
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: we're losing wisdom, and I would like to get one interviewed.

179
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I want to sit down with one if they be willing.

180
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: So I know this is an odd request, but if

181
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you are one or no one and want to sit

182
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: down and talk about it. Email me Jesse at Jesse

183
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: Kelly show dot com. All right, all right, I'm gonna

184
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: read the rest of that email. And just a second now,

185
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: I told you we're going to talk about groceries too.

186
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Just know they're predicting empty shelves, food prices continuing to

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: blast through the roof. And it's all We all know

188
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: why it is. It's all because of inflation. The value

189
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: of the dollar is plummeting. It is plummeting. We printed

190
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars and now we're paying for that. There's

191
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: nothing you or I can do to go back and

192
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: undo that. It's done. The deal is done. All we

193
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: can do is make preparations for the future, make preparations

194
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: going forward. But what are we going to do? How

195
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: are we going to handle this? How are we going

196
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: to protect ourselves? Getting something in your hands of tangible

197
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: value that they can't destroy the value of its critical.

198

Speaker 1: you know what you are? A freaking liar, That's what

208
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: you are, because everybody likes the Beach Boys. All right,

209
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: back to what we were talking about. I already went

Speaker 1: Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. I'm going to

214
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: get back to the food prices, and then, of course

215
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the KBJ confirmation. I may bring it up again briefly.

216
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't really care Chuck Schumer embarrassed himself, but I

217
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: want to get back to this email. Hey, Jesse, I

218
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: know one of the first tunnel rats. I haven't seen

219
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: him in several years, but I think he is still

220
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: with us. Last I heard he's having some health issues.

221
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: He was a client. When I found out he was

222
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, I thanked him for his service. Then I

223
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: asked him what his job was. He looked me straight

224
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: in the eyes and said he was a murderer. I

225
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: hadn't known him very long, so I didn't know how

226
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: to take it, and I didn't know what to say.

227
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: I could see the pain in his face though. After

228
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: some time, After some time went by, he opened up

229
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and told me a story of being a tunnel rat.

230
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: I had never heard of it, but was fascinated. He

231
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: was one of the I don't want to give too

232
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: much away. He gives a bunch of stories, and I

233
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: know the guy's name, but he asked me not to

234
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: give out his name. He ends up saying he's a

235
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: very humble man and doesn't like to share stories and

236
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And that's why I put out the call.

237
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: I really want to. I think I'm gonna do a

238
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: history podcast on the tunnel rats, and I really want

239
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: to interview one as part of it. And I know

240
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: there aren't a ton left, and the ones we do have,

241
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of most of them didn't live,

242
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and the ones who didn't live, they don't really want

243
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: to talk. And I just I know this is off

244
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: topic and I'm gonna get back to all the news

245
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: of the day. But I just want you to understand.

246
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: I want everyone to understand what these guys did because

247
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: they don't get any love, they don't get any play.

248
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe there haven't been movies made about these guys.

249
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: I just described to you the underground tunnel system. Now

250
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine something. I want you to

251
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: imagine your team, your platoon. You discover a hole in

252
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: the ground, and you're reasonably sure, or in some cases

253
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: absolutely sure, there are bad guys down there, at least

254
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: one you don't know. Usually they would pop out of

255
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: these things and shoot at our guys and then pop

256
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: back in. You are tasked with going down there. Maybe

257
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: you're one of the crazier ones. You're almost undoubtedly one

258
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: of the smaller ones, because again, a normal size American,

259
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: a bigger American wouldn't even fit. And you go down

260
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: into this tunnel. Now, you oftentimes will have a rope

261
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: tied to your foot. You have to go down head first.

262
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: Lots of the time you maybe thinking to yourself, Man,

263
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: it would be dark down there. I'd have to get

264
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: my flashlight. That's where you be wrong. Many of them

265
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: did not use flashlights. Because the enemy can see your

266
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: flashlight two, to which you're probably also saying, man, I

267
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: would need a sweet gun. Again, you might be wrong there. Yes,

268
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: many of them used guns. They either had to use

269
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: modified handguns that weren't so loud because you'd blow out

270
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: your ear drums, or they were so concerned about that

271
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and the enemy seeing the flash. Many guys went into

272
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: these pitch black tunnels with a knife and nothing else.

273
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: And I need to emphasize again they're down there waiting

274
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: to kill you. And you're going to crawl on your hands,

275
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: well not in your hands, on your belly through this place.

276
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: You may end up hitting a little trap door, and

277
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: which case a poisonous viper will fall down and bite you.

278
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Because they would take the vipers and they would take

279
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: a nail, and they would nail their tails into a

280
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: board and then hide the board and have a little

281
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: tripping mechanism. If you tripped it, the board would fall.

282
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: That's an angry wounded viper landing on your head. Maybe

283
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: it's poisonous spiders. Oh you thought it was done. It

284
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: actually gets worse. Remember how I told you there were

285
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: different levels to these tunnels. There are stories out there,

286
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: true stories, you go read about them, of the Vietnamese

287
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: waiting for you to say, stick your head up through

288
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: one of the doors in the tunnel to go to

289
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: a different level, and stabbing you with a piece of bamboo.

290
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Only they're not stabbing you to kill you. They stab

291
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: you through the neck. So you are stuck there with

292
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: a piece of bamboo through your neck, and you can't

293
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: go back down through the tunnel because your neck has

294
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: a bamboo stick through it. Can you imagine that in

295
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: the dark. Your buddies also can't pull you out with

296
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: that rope they have tied to your foot because you're

297
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: stuck in the tunnel. That's as deep as I'm going

298
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: to go right now. So I'm gonna go into a

299
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: lot more of it. I think I'm gonna do a

300
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: podcast on it soon, a history podcast. But the tunnel

301
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: rats don't get near the credit they deserve. Everyone talks

302
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: about a million different aspects of military history. That for me,

303
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: that's got to be the most terrifying experience ever. I'll

304
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: tell you one thing right now. You can call me

305
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: a coward. It's totally fair. I don't think I could

306
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think I could go down there.

307
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: I just don't think. I mean, I don't think I

308
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: could do it. I don't whatever those guys have, I

309
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: don't have it, all right, all right, all right, that's

310
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: enough of that. Let's get to somebody we can make

311
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: fun of. Here's Chuck Schumer embarrassing himself today, and today

312
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: we are taking a giant, bold and important step on

313
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: the well trodden path to fulfilling our countries founding promise.

314
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: This is a great moment for Judge Jackson, but it

315
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: is even great a greater moment for America as we

316
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: rise to a more perfect union. You know, freedom is

317
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: not free, what Chris, I thought that was a nice

318
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: addition to it. Look again, I said I wasn't going

319
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on this, and I'm not.

320
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: You're seeing everything out there today, it's historic of a

321
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: black woman, it's historic. Just remember, just always keep in mind,

322
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: I know you know this already. Keep in mind, the

323
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: Communists don't care about black people. That's why they all

324
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: hate Clarence Thomas. They don't care about gay people, they

325
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: don't care about women, They certainly don't care about the climate.

326
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: They care about communism. You know this by how they

327
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: treat anybody who's black, or a woman or anything else

328
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: who comes out as being somebody on the right, nobody

329
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: gets treated worse. They don't care that there's a black

330
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: woman on the Supreme Court. They understand there are a

331
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: bunch of suckers out there they can use into thinking.

332
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: That's what they care about. They care about communism, and

333
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: they care that they now have yet another guaranteed communist

334
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: vote who will spend every moment for the rest of

335
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: her life trying to destroy everything you love and care about.

336
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's the game. That's the communist We have

337
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: to make sure we do the same thing when we

338
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: get there. No more of this. Well, I just want

339
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: someone who do it the right way? Can we have

340
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Can we have someone who who loves the constitution? No,

341
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: give me an anti communist partisan who will spend every

342
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: waking moment attacking them the same way they have. Ugly, Sure,

343
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: that's reality, all right, Speaking of reality, Christina Wong joins us. Next,

344
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: what is the reality of what's happening in the military

345
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: right now? Hang up? Kids? Gosh, how great was meat

346
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Loaf joining me? Now? My friend Christina Wong, she's, of course,

347
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: the Pentagon correspondent for Bright bart Christina. One, that's a

348
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: great call with meat Loaf. Two. We don't talk enough

349
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: about what's going on withinside the military. Now, nobody has

350
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: better sources than you on that. Tell me first, the

351
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: whole vaccine thing, we don't hear much about that anymore.

352
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: We only get little snippets of vaccine fallout. I'm getting

353
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: kicked out that I've got kicked out. What ended up

354
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: happening with the vaccine requirement in the military. Yeah, thanks

355
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: for having me on, Jesse, glad you like the song.

356
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, you don't hear a lot, and that's kind

357
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: of maddening. I mean, it has such a huge effect

358
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: on people's lives, and just no one seems to care

359
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: about that, noe, you know, none of the mainstream media

360
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: seems to care at all. And so, like every week

361
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: we get these email updates on how many troops have

362
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: been kicked out that week over not complying with the

363
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: Biden administration's military vaccine mandate. Not many people wireport on it,

364
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: but the number is really climbing. I think it's around

365
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: like two thousand so so UM as of today, Actually

366
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: not as of today, because there will be new numbers

367
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: coming out today, but as of last week, it's fourteen

368
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: more than fourteen hundred marines, ninety soldiers, two hundred and

369
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: fifty active duty Air Force airmen, seven hundred and thirty

370
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: two sailors. And we don't even know with a National

371
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: Guard yet because those numbers haven't been Their deadline is

372
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: not until June, so it could be you know, many,

373
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: many more. Tens of thousands of troops have not complied

374
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: with the vaccine mandate, so we don't know exactly, you know,

375
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: how many troops are going to be lost over this,

376
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: and and you know troops, and they they have very

377
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: little recourse and because the media is not defending them,

378
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: they have to go. They have to appeal. They file

379
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: ig inspector general complaints, even criminal complaints. They just hold

380
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: out with complying, you know, hoping something will change, and

381
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: they file lawsuits. So there was this Navy Seal lawsuit

382
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: on behalf of thirty five Navy seals. There's a judge

383
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: in Texas actually who granted motion to allow for those

384
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: thirty five Navy seals to represent all sailors. So I

385
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: believe sailors cannot be kicked out of the military over

386
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: the vaccine mandate. Temporarily. Of course, the administration is going

387
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: to try to appeal that, and then you know, hopefully

388
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: it'll go up to well, not hopefully, I mean hopefully

389
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: it will stopped before then, but it could go up

390
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: all the way to the Supreme Court. And so that's

391
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: where that is. I think just people are holding their

392
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: breath trying hoping that this will go away. But we

393
00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: had Defense Secretary Lloyd Dawston just two days ago. This

394
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: is going to remain, this vaccine COVID mandate. You know this,

395
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: this mandate is going to remain, even though right now

396
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: I think there's like point zero zero zero one percent

397
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: of the total US population getting COVID. Christina, I know

398
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: this sounds like a dumb question, but I'm dumb, so

399
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: I can ask these kinds of things. Uh, where where

400
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: are the generals or admirals or where are the high

401
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: up officers to fight for these guys. I understand they

402
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: all fall underneath the commander in chief, but is there

403
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: anyone in the high command at the Pentagon or otherwise

404
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: stepping in on behalf of their troops? Is that not

405
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: happening at all? There are there's like a sprinkling of leaders,

406
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: not anyone from like, you know, the high command. But

407
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: there's I think there's like six army leaders who were

408
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: relieved over not taking the vaccine. And then I think

409
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: there is a commander of a destroyer who also did

410
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: not want to take the vaccine or or he he

411
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: didn't feel you know, he didn't feel right ordering his

412
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: sailors to do it, something like that. But you know,

413
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: it's very far intew in between. UM So, No, there's

414
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: not a lot of folks that are sticking up for

415
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: for the for the rank and file. Um And I

416
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: think they just feel sort of sort of desperate. Some

417
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: have come to me to you know, try to help them. Um.

418
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: Not many are willing to go public. They want to

419
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: try all avenues they can't before before they go public,

420
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: and basically, you know, run their careers, which are being

421
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: ruined anyway because they're getting they're getting kicked out if

422
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: they don't comply. It's it's really it's really sickening because

423
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: it's not only affects them, but infects their affects their

424
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: entire family. So I mean, it's just and and and

425
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: the fact that no one's really talking about I know,

426
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: you talk about it, you talk about it, quite a

427
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: lot or show the impact that you know, these mandates

428
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: and restrictions and lockdowns have had on people's lives. And

429
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: you know what was really kind of sickening was two

430
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: days ago we had General Millie, who was a chairman

431
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs and Staff. He was he was

432
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: in front of the House arm Services Committee talking about

433
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: how tiny the numbers are of troops who will be

434
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: kicked out as military and he said, oh, it's just

435
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: a very very tiny amount. It's just a tiny, tiny amount.

436
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: And you had Jim Banks, he's a congressman for Indiana.

437
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: He was he was saying, you know, do you really

438
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: want to lose this many troops over this, you know,

439
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: COVID this mandate, and especially because the Army's having severe

440
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: recruiting difficulties right now. So he was pressing Milly on

441
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: that and Millie's like, oh, you know, yeah, I've heard

442
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: that it's manageable. You actually said it was manageable. So,

443
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was just such a callous response. Yeah,

444
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: what a shock. Again. Speaking with Christina Wong, she is

445
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: the Pentagon correspondent with Breitbart. All right, Christina, finally you say,

446
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: you say they have a recruiting problem. I continue to

447
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: hear this. Actually have friends who are in recruiting and

448
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: they're saying, Jesse, no one's coming. Now. I have my

449
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: own theory on this. I don't think red blooded American

450
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: males want to show up and go into the military

451
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: to find out how gay everyone is and how much

452
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: white people suck. But you tell me, what are they

453
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: telling you? Why do we have a recruiting problem? Just

454
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Army recruiting ads and you know,

455
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: highlighting using anime figures, highlighting females, minorities, obtt QIA plus

456
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Now, I mean the folks who

457
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: actually a recruiter did tell me sort of, you know,

458
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: off the record, the numbers are horrible, and just people

459
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: aren't motivated. People don't want to sign up for this military.

460
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: And a lot of the people who do sign up

461
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: are I believe you know, it's called like the legacy families.

462
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: People whose fathers and mothers and you know, grandfathers and

463
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: uncles they've served in the military, and you know, they're

464
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: the ones who sign up. But a lot of folks

465
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: are telling their kids, don't do it, don't fight for

466
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: this military. I mean, you there's just you know, all

467
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: you hear about this is pushed to root out the extremists,

468
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: even though there's like feworre than a hundred. The Pentagon

469
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: this big study, like a year long study, and they

470
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: found fetword than a hundred. That was like two point

471
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: one million troops. But I mean, you hear about this extremism,

472
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, root out the racists and the sexists and

473
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And you know, I think people are

474
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: just not motivated. And they also have other options. Is

475
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, you often point out the job market is good.

476
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, they can they can, they have other options.

477
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: They can go out and you know, get jobs. They

478
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: don't have to be subjected to this woken doctor nation crap. Well,

479

Speaker 1: if they show up that gas station and they run

492
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: into somebody with bad intentions, that they're going to be

493
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: able to come back home alive. I mean, I'm positive.

494
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,960

510
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: not sure if the mic is still working? Fine, Chris,

511
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Am I still sounding okay? Does it? Do? I? Sound? O? Well?

512
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: I was. We had the easy cheese in the office right.

513
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Let me explain a second. We had the easy cheese,

514
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: and then Michael went out yesterday and got us some

515
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: tris gets. Everyone knows you got to have. And I

516
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: gotta be honest. During the commercial break, I lost track

517
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: of time and I was enjoying some fine cuisine of

518
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: triskets and easy cheese on it and ended up having

519
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: to sit down and I didn't get all the I

520
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: mean the trisk what Chris, let me finish the trisket.

521
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: You know how triskets get kind of particled in there? Yes,

522
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: you do. And I ended up getting a little piece

523
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: of one, a very tiny a micros practically a microscopic

524
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: piece came out when I sat down and started talking,

525
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: and it went into the microphone and I can see

526
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: I can see it here, but it's not on the surface, Chris.

527
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: The microphone has these little whole thingies in it, and

528
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I tried to scrape it off so you'd never see,

529
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: but I ended up just pushing it down in there,

530
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: and now it's in there, and I'm not sure. I'm

531
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: not sure we're going to be able to get it out.

532
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: Triskets are not terrible, Chris, They're not terrible that you

533
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: know what. Forget about it. I'm done talking to you

534
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: right now. We're moving on. We're going to get to

535
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: the food prices thing in a moment. We have to

536
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: get to something else real quick. First, though, there's a

537
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of talk right now, a ton of talk about Disney,

538
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: and understandably so, I mean we have we have more

539
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: audio coming out about Disney or I'm about to play

540
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: that for you, But before we get to that, we

541
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind, Yeah, Disney is the topic

542
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: of the day, but what we have as a country,

543
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: it's not just a Disney problem. They're obviously a huge

544
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: part of that problem. What we have as a country

545
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: is we're no longer a society that actually treasures children

546
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: and believes children should be protected. And I don't know

547
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: why that happened. I don't know how that happened. I

548
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: don't understand. I would. I just can't understand that way

549
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: of thinking. But we are a country now that regularly

550
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: abuses kids on horrible levels. And that's the ones we

551
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: don't kill. We have, we have, honestly on top of

552
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: the grooming problem, we just have a flat out treating

553
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: kids like dirt problem in this country. We do. And

554
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: the worst we treat them, the worst we treat them,

555
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: the more the more they seem to wade into it,

556
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: the more they seem to get stuck in this system

557
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: that treats them awful. And the kids in this country

558
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: don't deserve that. Listen, listen, listen to this at Disney.

559
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: Listen to what they brag about. They brag about the

560
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: horrific things. The other big area is gender. Hold on,

561
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: but before I before I play it, sorry, let's keep

562
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: in mind if a child, let's say it's a girl

563
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: out there. Let's say it's a young girl. Let's say

564
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: she's a tomboy. You know any tomboys. Let shoot, I'm

565
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: married one total sports star. Right. Well, actually, tomboys probably

566
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: not fair. You should see her when a bug flies

567
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: into her here. But you know, girls are tom boys.

568
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: I played with my brothers. I'd love the sports. I

569
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: love shooting. Tons of girls are tomboys. It's freaking awesome

570
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: good usually the less annoying than other girls. That's a

571
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: good thing today. If you're a girl who's maybe a tomboy,

572
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: Let's say you have some derained psychopath parents. Sadly there

573
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: are many of them. Maybe they'll be convinced that because

574
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: you like to go out and shoot hoops now and then,

575
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe you're actually a boy. And today it's perfectly legal

576
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: in many places for a parent to take that daughter

577
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: to the doctor's office. The doctor you're supposed to be

578
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: caring for people, do no harm, all that stuff. The

579
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: doctor will, after a careful examination, decide yes, she definitely

580
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: is a girl, and will take that young lady, beautiful

581
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: young lady, into surgery and carve her up in ways

582
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to describe here on the show.

583
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: It's a family show, but just unspeakable. That's child abuse

584
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: on a level that I can't even describe. And we

585
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: pay these people for this, and companies like Disney will

586
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: brag about doing this stuff. We are a nation that

587
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: not only does terrible things to children, we brag about

588
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: it as if it's a good thing. The other big

589
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: area is gender identity and expression. So doing all of

590
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: this work to ensure that our employees in casts can

591
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: express their gender here authentically and proudly at the company. So,

592
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, coming up with guides on how to change

593
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: our photo, information about pronouns, working with our benefits team

594
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: to give information about gender affirmation procedures both for our

595
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: employees who are transitioning in trans but also our employees

596
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: who have kids who are transitioning. They provide for people

597
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: who have kids who are transitioning. Let's be real clear,

598
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a trans kid. There's a

599
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,479
Speaker 1: kid with a disgusting set of parents and an even

600
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: worse set of teachers, and an even more evil than

601
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: that doctor. If you're a doctor and you perform these

602
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: surgeries on children, you know, and I'm not going to

603
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: finish that sentence, Let's just say, I do not wish

604
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: good things for you, Okay, I do not wish good

605
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: things for you. And I can't believe that's where we

606
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: are as a country. I can't believe it. All right,

607
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: we have to get to food prices. We're not getting

608
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: to that yet. I got to get to some emails

609
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: I've been lax on that, Dear Jesse, my heart stopped.

610
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: This was last night, but I said this will be

611
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: my last show. I opened up the show saying that

612
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: because I said I was going to go try to

613
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: be the CEO of Red Lobster. Of course I was

614
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: kidding anyway, he said. My thoughts started racing as I

615
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: began to contemplate on which podcast I would replace you

616
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: with at work the next day. A few seconds later,

617
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: I realized what was going on and felt like an idiot.

618
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: Try and pull something like that again, and I'll be

619
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: forced to call the show whenever you take calls and then,

620
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: talking slow as humanly possible, I will thank you for

621
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: taking my call and tell you how much I love

622
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: the show, and then awkwardly wait in silence for a response. Yes,

623
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: that's a threat. Now, look, you shouldn't ever fall for that.

624
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: When I do stuff like that, you should. You should

625
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: understand I'm never quitting. Never. It's not fair. At some

626
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: point in time, I'll be old and busted, and there'll

627
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: be a bunch of other young hotshots out there who

628
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: are more entertaining than I am, and they'll come take

629
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,479
Speaker 1: over and they'll deserve it, and I'll ride off into

630
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: the sunset and eat Red Lobster every single day. But

631
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: until then you should understand, I'm the luckiest guy in

632
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: the world. I've had every crappy job you can possibly have,

633
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: and now I get to sit and have fun with

634
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: you for a living. We get to talk about not

635
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: just important stuff, I mean stuff that matters, but we

636
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: get to have fun and laugh. You have a real job.

637
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a real job. I'm not quitting. And

638
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: did you get people all the time? What if? What

639
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: if this? Don't you want to run for office? No,

640
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to run for office. There is nothing

641
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: else in the world I'd rather do than sit on

642
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: premier networks and talk to you for three hours every

643
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: single day. It is the best thing in the world.

644
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm not quitting. I'm not going to go

645
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: try to look, even if Red Lobster offered me the

646
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: CEO position, I would still say, no, I'm right where

647
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm staying. All right, me, Chris Michael, We're not going anywhere.

648
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: And if the numbers are any indication at this point

649
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: in time, you are really stuck with us for a

650
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: long time, because apparently people like this show. All right,

651
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: food prices this isn't good. Hang on people,
