Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,
Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and
Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show. I want you to imagine something. I
Speaker 1: want you to imagine your home with your family, wife, kids.
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine the electricity is out and
Speaker 1: has been out. The water in your home is out
Speaker 1: and has been out. The sewer in your home is
Speaker 1: out and has been out. You must go forage for
Speaker 1: food and water. And you don't have to You don't
Speaker 1: have to be somewhere other than your home. I mean
Speaker 1: your residential neighborhood, your apartment. This is taking place where
Speaker 1: you are. You have to go out and find food
Speaker 1: and find water. Your children are asking repeatedly, can I
Speaker 1: come with you? Can I go outside? Can I go
Speaker 1: outside and play? Can I can I see the sun?
Speaker 1: And you cannot let your children out of your home
Speaker 1: because if you let your children out of your home,
Speaker 1: somebody is going to grab them and eat them. What
Speaker 1: I just described for you is not the Walking Dead,
Speaker 1: It's not some zombie movie. That's real. That happened, and
Speaker 1: it happened in a place called Leningrad. We talk a
Speaker 1: lot endlessly and we always will on this show about
Speaker 1: the Eastern Front of World War two, Germany versus the Soviets.
Speaker 1: I talk about it for a variety of reasons. One
Speaker 1: nobody else talks about it because nobody likes either side.
Speaker 1: You can't find much information on the Eastern Front of
Speaker 1: World War Two. There's a great Dan Carlin hardcore history
Speaker 1: multi point podcast on it called what is It? War
Speaker 1: on the Ast Front? I think it was called something
Speaker 1: to do something like that. Either way, go downloaded if
Speaker 1: you if you want, If you find that interesting, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't touch on Leningrad, I don't believe, but it's
Speaker 1: a great one. There's that movie Enemy at the Gates
Speaker 1: with Jude Law and Ed Harris about some sniper battle
Speaker 1: that took place in Stalingrad and there was some historical
Speaker 1: significance there, and it was a cool movie. It gives
Speaker 1: you a good visual of what Stalingrad was probably like.
Speaker 1: But beyond that, tell me, what have you seen about
Speaker 1: the Eastern Front? It doesn't happen. Everything is Everything's d
Speaker 1: Day everything, you know, the airborne dropping in parachutes. You
Speaker 1: get plenty of stuff on the war in the Pacific Marines,
Speaker 1: fighting the Japanese. You get some stuff on Africa. You
Speaker 1: get a million things on the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor. Now,
Speaker 1: all the high points, all the World War two high points,
Speaker 1: you just don't get the Eastern Front. And it's simple.
Speaker 1: Both sides are scumbags. You have Nazis. Ain't anybody pulling
Speaker 1: for the Nazis, and you have the dirty Commies, which
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, half of America probably rooting for them now,
Speaker 1: but back in the day, nobody's rooting for the dirty,
Speaker 1: inhumane Commies. And yet I will always talk about it
Speaker 1: on this show because it is, as I've said before,
Speaker 1: without question, if you were to just separate the Eastern
Speaker 1: Front off, it is the biggest war in the history
Speaker 1: of mankind. Just that part of it, just that part
Speaker 1: of twenty seven million plus Russians died, Just the Russians,
Speaker 1: twenty seven million, you know how many people that is.
Speaker 1: It's so big you came and wrap your mind around it.
Speaker 1: It is so vast and so vicious and full of hatred.
Speaker 1: It's not as if other wars are full of love.
Speaker 1: But the Nazis and the way they conducted themselves. Even
Speaker 1: in some Eastern European countries that they were essentially given,
Speaker 1: people would welcome them flowers, hamming flowers, Oh well, all sweet,
Speaker 1: it's so nice. Germany's here. And then a week later
Speaker 1: the Nazis are just look their Nazis. They're executing everybody.
Speaker 1: They're horrible, and they're they're killing so many Soviets that
Speaker 1: then the Soviets start returning the favor. These are not
Speaker 1: exactly people who are gonna lay down and take that.
Speaker 1: And then they're just war crime after war crime, massive
Speaker 1: war crimes, throwing people out in the cold and spraying
Speaker 1: them down with ice, with water. You just watch them.
Speaker 1: I'm just just horrible. So people don't talk about it.
Speaker 1: I talk about it though. It is huge and it's horrible.
Speaker 1: And what's wild is I've done I bet you I've
Speaker 1: done ten fifteen shows on various parts of the Eastern
Speaker 1: Front of World War Two. I've never done one on
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest siege in the history of mankind possibly.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've done them on Moscow, Stalin Grad and
Speaker 1: we'll do them again. I've done just various parts. I've
Speaker 1: never done one on Leningrad. I even went over Zukov
Speaker 1: Georgi Zukov the other day, and I didn't mention Leningrad,
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't time in the show. I just
Speaker 1: skipped right over it. And it is amazing, not necessarily militarily,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. But civilian wise, that story I
Speaker 1: told you at the beginning of the show, that's real.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that, but that's real. Now, if you're
Speaker 1: wondering where Leningrad is, you're pulling up your Google Maps
Speaker 1: trying to get a good idea of things. You're not
Speaker 1: going to see it on there because it's no longer there.
Speaker 1: They have renamed Leningrad Saint Petersburg, not Saint Petersburg, Florida.
Speaker 1: It's important you remember that Saint Petersburg, Russia. So if
Speaker 1: you would like to know, and in fact, I think
Speaker 1: you probably should know what we're dealing with here, I
Speaker 1: highly suggest this is the point where you pull up
Speaker 1: your little map and look up Saint Petersburg in Russia.
Speaker 1: For those of you driving or not in a place
Speaker 1: where you're able to do this, allow me to lay
Speaker 1: out where this is. This is the far far far
Speaker 1: northwest corner of Russia. I don't expect you to be
Speaker 1: a geographic expert, but just know it's essentially on I
Speaker 1: mean not essentially. It's on the Baltic Sea. That's where
Speaker 1: it is. It's on the Baltic Sea, and there's also
Speaker 1: a huge lake. See the Baltic Sea lies to Saint
Speaker 1: Petersburg's west. As you're looking down on it, that's the
Speaker 1: left lake. Ladoga is on the east. It's on the right,
Speaker 1: and that lake is really going to matter in our store.
Speaker 1: Just know that that's what we're dealing with here. Now
Speaker 1: back to the actual invasion, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: cover all that because I have a thousand times. I'll
Speaker 1: do it again another thousand times. But Arbor Operation Barbarossa,
Speaker 1: that was the name of the invasion of the Soviet Union. Remember,
Speaker 1: Hitler and Stalin had signed a non aggressive pack. Stalin,
Speaker 1: hey you can have you can have half of Poland. Stalin,
Speaker 1: you'd take eastern Europe. Hitler's all take western Europe. We'll
Speaker 1: just be two scumbags with our own territories. But Hitler
Speaker 1: had plans to invade, slaughter the Jews in and then
Speaker 1: colonize the Soviet Union all along. He had no no
Speaker 1: qualms about the fact he was coming. Stalin, however, was very,
Speaker 1: very very worried about him coming, but didn't think he
Speaker 1: would come. Stalin knew the German war machine was formidable,
Speaker 1: and he knew as it stood. Early on, he did
Speaker 1: not really have the army that could fight him off.
Speaker 1: At least early on, he knew how brutal that would
Speaker 1: be for his country. And Stalin, remember Stalin, more than
Speaker 1: anything else, was a man all about holding on to power.
Speaker 1: And as history has shown, you get an invading army,
Speaker 1: you can't fight him off. That's a great way to
Speaker 1: lose power. So Stalin did some really dumb things early.
Speaker 1: Hang on, we'll talk about it. This is a Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly show. Like a stain on your brain, you can't
Speaker 1: get out. You need an auto protection plan. In this
Speaker 1: stay in age insurance is not enough. You have to
Speaker 1: have an auto protection plan because these vehicles cost a fortune,
Speaker 1: a fortune to fix. I'm going through it right now.
Speaker 1: But you know what else I'm going through right now? Oh,
Speaker 1: I get to deal with car Shield. You see, I
Speaker 1: have a car shield plan. I don't just talk to
Speaker 1: you about it. I have a platinum plan from car Shield.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you the ease of working with
Speaker 1: these guys, how much cheaper and easier it makes life.
Speaker 1: It is worth its weight in gold. Take it from me.
Speaker 1: Do not wait until your car starts having problems. Don't
Speaker 1: wait until your car's sitting there in a ditch. You're
Speaker 1: broken down on the side of the highway. Did a
Speaker 1: car shield auto protection plan today? Go to carshield dot com.
Speaker 1: That's carshield dot com. Use the code JESSE that saves
Speaker 1: you ten percent a deductible may apply. Stalin is so
Speaker 1: worried about Hitler invading. He's so desperate that Hitler doesn't invade.
Speaker 1: He's where he's gonna end up, throwing him out of power,
Speaker 1: that he bans what he calls provocative actions, meaning any
Speaker 1: Soviet build up on the border that would help them
Speaker 1: prepare for Hitler's invasion, which people were telling him is coming.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, now, we can't dig in defenses there.
Speaker 1: That'll look bad. We can't. That's how lame Stalin was
Speaker 1: in this whole thing. But Hitler does invade, as you
Speaker 1: well know, and Hitler Devay invades and splits his invading
Speaker 1: force up into three different groups Army Group South, Army
Speaker 1: Groups Center, Army Group North. Forget about the South, just
Speaker 1: know that the Center, this is going to come into
Speaker 1: play later, was heading towards Moscow. Army Group North was
Speaker 1: heading towards Leningrad. Now why were they heading towards Leningrad
Speaker 1: a couple of different reasons. Leningrad was a huge, important city,
Speaker 1: and Hitler well knew it would have been extremely demoralizing
Speaker 1: and devastating to the Soviet Union as a whole if
Speaker 1: Leningrad fell. In fact, had he been able to take
Speaker 1: Leningrad and Moscow, and it was a near run thing
Speaker 1: for both, had he been able to take them, Soviet
Speaker 1: Union falls, he wins that war. So one, it was
Speaker 1: the moral part of it. Two, Leningrad was a humongous
Speaker 1: industrial city. Soviet Union could churn out tanks and Ammo
Speaker 1: and things like that, and a lot of that stuff
Speaker 1: was coming from Leningrad. This is a city of three
Speaker 1: million people at the time. And remember that little little
Speaker 1: map you pulled up on your phone a couple of
Speaker 1: minutes ago, when you looked at Saint Petersburg. What do
Speaker 1: you see all around Saint Petersburg the sea water. This
Speaker 1: place mattered because it was huge forgetting supplies in and
Speaker 1: getting supplies out. These ports cities are always critical to
Speaker 1: a nation because they help resupply a nation, they help
Speaker 1: fund a nation. If Hitler is able to go up
Speaker 1: there and take Leningrad, well that's going to be quite
Speaker 1: a win. Now. I know what you're possibly thinking, if
Speaker 1: you've and listening to this show for a while, or
Speaker 1: you're just that kind of thinker, you're looking to the
Speaker 1: north and thinking, well, what's Finland doing. Finland's right up
Speaker 1: there to the north. It's funny you should bring that up.
Speaker 1: They fought something. I'll do a show on it again sometime.
Speaker 1: I've done one before. It was a long time ago.
Speaker 1: They fought something earlier called the Winter War. The Soviet
Speaker 1: Union fought that war with Finland, and it wasn't some
Speaker 1: prolonged war, however. It was one of those wars Finland
Speaker 1: or use as a feather in their cap until the
Speaker 1: end of time. And they should because because here comes
Speaker 1: this gigantic Soviet juggernaut stomping into your country and they
Speaker 1: should crush you. And they did end up winning, obviously,
Speaker 1: but the Finns made them pay for it, and I
Speaker 1: mean made them pay for it big time. We're talking
Speaker 1: everything you can imagine, guys in cross country skis doing
Speaker 1: ambush ambushes, night ambushes. It was it was a cool
Speaker 1: it's a really cool little conflict. But the Soviet Union
Speaker 1: ends up winning, and part of the Soviet Union Union
Speaker 1: winning that war was the Soviet Union wanted a bunch
Speaker 1: of Finnish territory up there, and they took it. And
Speaker 1: then they told Finland at the time, guess what, you're
Speaker 1: also on our side. Now you're gonna do what the
Speaker 1: things we tell you to do whenever we tell you
Speaker 1: to do him you hear me. Finland never a big
Speaker 1: fan of the Soviets. Oh gosh, okay, that's fine. Well,
Speaker 1: along come the Nazis. The Nazis. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: go into all this. Give Finland a little wink wink, nudge, nudge. Hey,
Speaker 1: I bet you'd like back that territory the Soviets took
Speaker 1: from you, right man, that Winter War thing that was unjust.
Speaker 1: You'd never see us pulling anything like that, I mean not.
Speaker 1: You don't have any many Jews, do you. Okay you don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd never see us pull that with you. Why don't
Speaker 1: you join with us, Finland does? It's one of those
Speaker 1: parts of World War Two not many people talk about.
Speaker 1: Everybody who knows about Japan and Italy and the access
Speaker 1: of evil, Finland joined with the Nazis kind of. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. Now, the people of Leningrad. No,
Speaker 1: they know the Nazis are coming. They're not stupid, and
Speaker 1: they do one of the most fascinating that it would
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see a big city pull this off
Speaker 1: today again, big cities, three million people. They get half
Speaker 1: a million people, shovels and everything else, and they dig
Speaker 1: in fortifications of the city. They're building a triple line
Speaker 1: of defenses with tank ditches, tank traps. They're building peel boxes.
Speaker 1: You know those big concrete things you saw saving Private Ryan,
Speaker 1: The concrete things that the machine guns are in when
Speaker 1: the Allies are trying to store the beats. That's a pillbox.
Speaker 1: They're making pillboxes. It would have been fascinating to see it. Supposedly,
Speaker 1: and I saw some video interviews with people who were there.
Speaker 1: Supposedly it was very inspiring. Half a million people, the
Speaker 1: Nazis are coming, let's dig in, let's rock and roll. Well,
Speaker 1: the Nazis get there. The Nazis get there and they
Speaker 1: realize this city is extremely dug in, this city is defended.
Speaker 1: We've got an issue here. What are we going to do?
Speaker 1: And they get more bad news. The Nazis do. They
Speaker 1: find out somebody by the name of Georgi Zukov has
Speaker 1: arrived in lenning Grad and he's gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: organize the defenses for a while. Remember this is the
Speaker 1: greatest general of the twentieth century. And you get word
Speaker 1: that he just took over the opposing army to be
Speaker 1: a rough moment. And of course Zukov, because he's freaking Zukov,
Speaker 1: does not just sit back in the city. He doesn't
Speaker 1: sit back behind the line. He is constantly doing, constantly
Speaker 1: doing pay attention here, counter offensives because he knows, I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's a single line, double line, triple line,
Speaker 1: ten thousand tank ditches, if you just sit back behind
Speaker 1: it with your head down, you're going to lose. So
Speaker 1: he's peppering these Nazis, stepping out behind the line, killing
Speaker 1: them and losing guys himself, but then going back in
Speaker 1: constantly keeping the Nazis off guard. They're on the defensive
Speaker 1: as much as they're on the offensive. Then Hitler in
Speaker 1: one of the all time bonehead moves. I understand why
Speaker 1: he did it, but gosh, how stupid. This was army
Speaker 1: group nor remember an army group center, You remember class,
Speaker 1: what was army group center doing? Army Group Center was
Speaker 1: going after Moscow. Hitler wanted Moscow. He wanted Moscow so
Speaker 1: bad he could taste it. And why wouldn't he. Of
Speaker 1: course you would want Moscow. And because Zukov also organized
Speaker 1: the defensive Moscow. As we said the other day, Hitler
Speaker 1: was having a very difficult time taking Moscow. So he
Speaker 1: instead takes all of his armored parts of Army Group North,
Speaker 1: all those beautiful tanks, and he pulls them away and
Speaker 1: takes them down south to go attack Moscow with Army
Speaker 1: Group Center. Well, what you've just done to Army Group
Speaker 1: North is you've really prevented any ability for them to
Speaker 1: actually invade a city the size of Leningrad and take
Speaker 1: it in any kind of a meaningful manner. I don't
Speaker 1: want to nerd out on the details here, but allow
Speaker 1: me to explain something to you. We've talked a lot
Speaker 1: this week about urban combat, and I swear I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to gin up, so I'm not trying to gin
Speaker 1: something up. It just worked out that that's what we've
Speaker 1: talked about here. Okay. Part of urban combat, especially in
Speaker 1: this modern era, is a combination of armor and personnel.
Speaker 1: And I'll explain why they're both important. Hang on. You're
Speaker 1: never completely ready to adopt a team. For late nights
Speaker 1: writing English papers are your teen's music taste for dinners
Speaker 1: where they talk more on their phone than with you.

Speaker 1: of letting Grad can't break out. Although I mean there
Speaker 1: are attempts, I don't want to act like they're just
Speaker 1: sitting in there crying in their cheerios. They acquitted themselves
Speaker 1: very well. They can't break out. But the Nazis, now
Speaker 1: that Hitler took away the armor, can't break in. And
Speaker 1: let me explain that, when you're entering a city, city
Speaker 1: streets and whatnot, you cannot just sit there in a tank,
Speaker 1: even a big tough American Abrams tank or something, or
Speaker 1: a tank of the like. The truth is, people are
Speaker 1: too capable out there. Yes, even scumbag idiot terrorists. People
Speaker 1: are too capable now of finding an explosive that can
Speaker 1: incinerate your guys, or finding an explosive that's big enough
Speaker 1: to knock the tracks off your tank. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is make an immobile or setting a trap
Speaker 1: in the streets. So you see, your tank is too
Speaker 1: vulnerable by itself. You like to think of a tank
Speaker 1: as some invulnerable thing with big guns on. It is not.
Speaker 1: It is not. And now don't you're wrong. You can,
Speaker 1: but it's dangerous. You can't really just patrol up and
Speaker 1: down the city streets on foot. And I've done patrol
Speaker 1: in Baghdad at night on foot. And let me tell
Speaker 1: you what it's a little harrowing because you find yourself
Speaker 1: in situations where you need a bigger gun than you
Speaker 1: can carry on your back, or you find yourself in
Speaker 1: situations where you need cover, or you find yourself in
Speaker 1: situations where you need an AMMO re supply. You can
Speaker 1: only carry so much ammunition. I know you don't see
Speaker 1: this in the movies, but even look, even as a
Speaker 1: six foot eight marine brother, I can only carry so
Speaker 1: much ammo. Ammo's heavy, really heavy. At some point my
Speaker 1: knees just break. You need resupply. Having armor there helps
Speaker 1: that you can strap AMMO boxes to it. You can
Speaker 1: strap water to it. Not sexy. Guess what. Go without
Speaker 1: it for a day and see how you're doing. So
Speaker 1: what you want to do is combine the two. When
Speaker 1: you're entering us, you just have to. You have to
Speaker 1: combine the two. You have to when we In fact,
Speaker 1: when we first entered Baghdad, they took my company and
Speaker 1: we were assigned to first tanks. I was in an
Speaker 1: infantry company. They assigned us to tank. They just flat
Speaker 1: out attached the whole company and you're going in with them.
Speaker 1: And right when we got in there, boom boo boop
Speaker 1: taken fire from some big building. Uh yeah, we're turning fire.
Speaker 1: Can we get the tanks up here? Tanks open up
Speaker 1: and that building is no longer there. See that's how
Speaker 1: it works, you take away the tanks. Well, I can't
Speaker 1: invade Leningrad. Now I have to starve them out. And
Speaker 1: this is the ultimate situation of nobody can move. The
Speaker 1: Nazis do not possess the strength to invade. The people
Speaker 1: of Leningrad cannot get out only well, weather seems to
Speaker 1: be changing. The weather seems to be changing. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the Fins earlier. I should I should clarify the Fins.
Speaker 1: The Fins were expected by Germany to finish coming from
Speaker 1: the north. It's gott of a dirty move, but a
Speaker 1: great move. The Finns were expected, I need you to
Speaker 1: keep coming from the north and come down and surround,
Speaker 1: you know, letting grad on the other side. And the
Speaker 1: Finns were like, oh yeah, I'll I'll get right on that.
Speaker 1: And then the Finns promptly just took back all the
Speaker 1: territory that was previously theirs from the Soviets and then
Speaker 1: didn't move anymore. Oh yeah, I know, we said we
Speaker 1: were coming about that though, Yeah we're not. It turns
Speaker 1: out we just wanted what was ours back. So it's
Speaker 1: not fair to paint the Finns as some horrible Nazi
Speaker 1: collaborators in the war and kind of did what they
Speaker 1: had to do type thing. So we're a stalemate and
Speaker 1: the winter is starting to get cold, and there's another
Speaker 1: part of that Finns refusing to advance. Keep this in mind,
Speaker 1: Germany's Germany, and Germany's powerful at this time. But if
Speaker 1: you're Finland, remember that map you pulled up, You're welcome
Speaker 1: to pull it up again. Go ahead and look at
Speaker 1: Finland and then look at Russia. If you're Finland, can
Speaker 1: you really afford to make a horrible enemy of the
Speaker 1: Soviet Union? They were not stupid. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and not a siege to one of their most
Speaker 1: important cities, because if this doesn't work out, we are
Speaker 1: screwed big time. Well, if you're the Germans, you can't
Speaker 1: attack them, they can't attack you. What can you do?
Speaker 1: You can do a couple things. You can make their
Speaker 1: life as miserable as humanly possible by not letting supplies in.
Speaker 1: And remember these are Nazis, they don't really obey the
Speaker 1: same rules that many people do, well, why don't Why
Speaker 1: don't we just start bombing them. It's funny to wrap
Speaker 1: your mind around when you put yourself in the in
Speaker 1: the shoes of people who don't really have morals. When
Speaker 1: they don't have they're just flat out sadists. You and
Speaker 1: I even if you, even if you were fighting a
Speaker 1: war with somebody, if you're a commanding general and you
Speaker 1: have this big army and artillery and all these things
Speaker 1: outside of a city, even if you were ordered to
Speaker 1: do so and followed your orders, think what it would
Speaker 1: feel like opening up with artillery dropping artillery shells on
Speaker 1: a city of three million people. They were down to
Speaker 1: about two and a half million by this point because
Speaker 1: half man had escaped. But think would it we'd be
Speaker 1: like having that order? You know those artillery shells, those
Speaker 1: are blowing up kids, man, women. Well, if you're a Nazi,
Speaker 1: you don't You don't really have that problem, doesn't You
Speaker 1: don't care? And they start bombing and shelling this place,
Speaker 1: both with artillery and air. And there are a couple
Speaker 1: of different kinds of rounds. You remember, every every every explosion,
Speaker 1: every bomb, every artillery shell was not the same. I know,
Speaker 1: they make it out to be the same in movies.
Speaker 1: But I was. I was a mortarman in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 1: I was in the infantry, and we were I did mortars.
Speaker 1: Even mortars had several different kinds of l rounds. You
Speaker 1: had flare rounds. You could set your round and go
Speaker 1: off as suit as it hit the ground. You could
Speaker 1: adjust your round and it wouldn't go off until it
Speaker 1: had buried itself a little ways. We had white phosphorus rounds,
Speaker 1: we had red phosphorus rounds. There were all kinds of
Speaker 1: different rounds. Same thing. Back then. They had high explosive
Speaker 1: rounds and they had incendiary rounds, and both do plenty
Speaker 1: of damage. They loved dropping incendiary rounds on cities because
Speaker 1: you get so much extra damage from it. If you
Speaker 1: can manage to get a fire going. Think how difficult
Speaker 1: it is to have a city under siege, people starving,
Speaker 1: supplies dwindling, and now you have a city block on
Speaker 1: fire and you have to put it out, not even
Speaker 1: because you care about the city block, but because it
Speaker 1: will burn this whole place down if we don't put
Speaker 1: this out. And the Germans were not stupid, Remember spies
Speaker 1: or a big part of everything. The Germans knew where
Speaker 1: the food depots were in Leningrad and they're bombing the food.
Speaker 1: Oh Stalin had to his credit, I made fun of
Speaker 1: him at the beginning, and look, you can't possibly make
Speaker 1: fun of histories. Possibly biggest monster ever. I made fun
Speaker 1: of him at the beginning, but he was smart enough
Speaker 1: to do this. He broke down the military factories in
Speaker 1: places like Leningrad and essentially put them on trains. The
Speaker 1: whole factory. Really, I'm not the building, but all the
Speaker 1: guts of factories. He broke them all down and put
Speaker 1: them on trains to Siberia and rebuilt the Soviet war
Speaker 1: machine so he could build everything there because he knew
Speaker 1: the Nazis were going to take some things in the East.
Speaker 1: It's actually really I know, it's cool because it is
Speaker 1: really fascinating. It's very fascinating. So you're not as much
Speaker 1: worried about that if you're the Nazis, although you're trying
Speaker 1: for that stuff, but you're going after the food. And
Speaker 1: as of this, at this point in time, the food
Speaker 1: situation had been okay. But if you're in charge, you've
Speaker 1: got to start making hard decisions, man decisions. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: wish on anybody hang, oh, God on not him, only
Speaker 1: side on me. Jesse Kelly, don't listening to the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Sometimes, and believe me, this hurts me to
Speaker 1: say it. Sometimes my knees hurt. Now I can't believe.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe I'm at the age where my knees hurt,
Speaker 1: but they do. And look, our bodies were not made
Speaker 1: to last forever. But I don't want hurting knees. And
Speaker 1: I'm pretty pleased to announce I've found a solution for
Speaker 1: my joint pain. It's at Doctors Trusted CBD. You see,
Speaker 1: Doctors Trusted CBD has a wide range of products, lab
Speaker 1: tested products, natural products, not medicine, that make me feel good,
Speaker 1: make me sleep better, make my joints feel better. If
Speaker 1: you're one of these people who struggles with anxiety, and
Speaker 1: I know many people who do, it's been a proven
Speaker 1: solution for it, go to Doctors Trusted CBD dot com
Speaker 1: used to promo code Jesse that gets you ten percent
Speaker 1: off your order. The food rationing begins. And I often
Speaker 1: wonder about this, and it's easy to make fun of
Speaker 1: the Soviets as being a bunch of uncaring, unfeeling monsters.
Speaker 1: And obviously many of the party bosses were, but let's
Speaker 1: be honest, many of these people were human. What does
Speaker 1: that feel like when you're the city official, mayor whichever
Speaker 1: guy made the call, when you have to start rationing
Speaker 1: out the bread, rating out the sugar. But they see
Speaker 1: where this is going, They see how this is going.
Speaker 1: They see there's no Soviet army that can get to them.
Speaker 1: Zookoff isn't even there anymore, not because he's not because
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be. Remember, they're fighting the entire
Speaker 1: Nazi army all across the Soviet Union. If the Nazis
Speaker 1: are at a point where they can't invade Leningrad, you
Speaker 1: have to take your superstar and you have to send
Speaker 1: him elsewhere, and you have to start rationing. And they
Speaker 1: start cutting people's ration of bread and sugar, and then
Speaker 1: they cut it again, and then they cut it again,
Speaker 1: and then you're having to make decisions. Tell me, this
Speaker 1: wouldn't be horrible. You're having to make decisions on who
Speaker 1: gets how much of what. Remember everybody doesn't get the
Speaker 1: same amount. Oh no, no, no, you have to make
Speaker 1: decisions that are awful but makes sense. Well, you see
Speaker 1: this worker here, he actually is making some ammunition for us. Oh,
Speaker 1: this guy, he's the one making some of the food.
Speaker 1: He's working eight, nine, ten hours a day. He's got
Speaker 1: to have more food than you. You see, you're you're old,
Speaker 1: then you're you're kind of sick, and we care about you.
Speaker 1: We're not going to starve you to death. But but
Speaker 1: you can't have as much? And what do you do morally? There?
Speaker 1: Doesn't that make you feel gross? What I just said?
Speaker 1: Doesn't it talk about the burden of command? You want
Speaker 1: to look at some kid who can't work yet in
Speaker 1: the eye and be like, hey man, sorry about your
Speaker 1: food ration, but you're simply not worth as much as
Speaker 1: the full grown man who's in the factory. Easy to
Speaker 1: say on paper, much different when you're looking in their eyes,
Speaker 1: isn't it. And it's not just the bread and sugar
Speaker 1: they were given like a slice of bread and then
Speaker 1: a little lump of sugar. It's not just that that
Speaker 1: starts to get rationed. They start to ration off the electricity.
Speaker 1: Now I understand I have a bunch of listeners in
Speaker 1: California who will this will make more sense to you,
Speaker 1: But most of us, except for maybe small periods of time,
Speaker 1: whether or something like that. You've never had to ration
Speaker 1: electricity in your life. And I talk often about the
Speaker 1: blessings of being born in America, how blessed we are,
Speaker 1: and how blessed we don't realize it. I often use
Speaker 1: the glass of water because it is amazing I'm looking
Speaker 1: at when I have one in my hand, I just
Speaker 1: reached over and grab it. Chris has one, too, glass
Speaker 1: of water. It is approximately twenty feet away from us.
Speaker 1: There is not only a sink, there's a water machine
Speaker 1: with ice. I could sit and literally drink myself to
Speaker 1: death on water today if I wanted to, I could
Speaker 1: drink water until I threw up. I have all the
Speaker 1: water I wanted. I could right now go down and
Speaker 1: fill up buckets and just start dumping it on my
Speaker 1: head and then guzzling whatever is left, and just water, water, water, water.
Speaker 1: People will die all over the world today because they
Speaker 1: don't have access to one glass of what I'm holding
Speaker 1: in my hand. You are blessed to be here, believe me.
Speaker 1: And we do the same thing with electricity. We do
Speaker 1: the exact same thing with electricity. I walk over to
Speaker 1: the lights, I turn on the switch. The lights come
Speaker 1: on every single time. Imagine having a rashtion that you
Speaker 1: get an hour a day. Now an hour a day.
Speaker 1: Whatever you need are you doing with an hour a
Speaker 1: day of electricity and nothing else? Probably be time to
Speaker 1: go back in those books, right, beer gets cut off.
Speaker 1: You see, they made beer. Societies love their alcohol, always have.
Speaker 1: Soviets are obviously no different. In contrary to popular belief,
Speaker 1: they don't only drink vodka by the gallon up there.
Speaker 1: All they did do drink a lot of vodka up there.
Speaker 1: The Soviets love beer, because who does not love beer? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris told me they loved They love vodka because it's
Speaker 1: so cheap to make. It takes one week to make it,
Speaker 1: so you can you can just churn out bottles of vaka. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're not going into that right now. They start cutting
Speaker 1: off the beer manufacturers because you need the supplies you're
Speaker 1: making beer with to actually make food for people. And
Speaker 1: this is this look, this affects life too when people
Speaker 1: are used to drinking beer. So now you're adding the
Speaker 1: beer ingredients to the bread, and you're running out of
Speaker 1: that too. And now, as you've seen before, you're starting
Speaker 1: to add sawdust to bread so people can get food.
Speaker 1: How are you going to resupply. You have two and
Speaker 1: a half million people in the city. That lake, remember
Speaker 1: the lake, the lake right there to the east. You
Speaker 1: remember we talked about it. The lake starts to freeze
Speaker 1: because it starts to get really cold, which at first
Speaker 1: becomes a huge problem because they were boating in supplies
Speaker 1: across the lake. Now not enough supplies, because you need
Speaker 1: a lot for two half million people, But supplies, oh
Speaker 1: colds common. Hang on, Wake up and text, Text and eat,
Speaker 1: Text and catch the bus, Text and miss your stop. Wait,
Speaker 1: Text and be late to work. Sorryly, Text and work.
Speaker 1: Text and pretend to work. Text and X Surprised when

Speaker 1: Text and complain that they're on their phone the whole time.
Speaker 1: Text and listen to them. Complain that you're on your
Speaker 1: phone the whole time. Text and whatever. But when you
Speaker 1: get behind the wheel, give your phone to a passenger,
Speaker 1: put it in the glove box. Just don't text and drive.
Speaker 1: Visit stop texts stoprex dot org a public service announcement
Speaker 1: brought to you by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Speaker 1: and the ad council. Those boats are starting to run
Speaker 1: into some cold water across the lake, and then they'll
Speaker 1: start running into ice across the lake. That's hampering things,
Speaker 1: except that it gets colder and colder and colder, and
Speaker 1: you're having the benefit of an extra cold So bea winner.
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. How could extra cold be
Speaker 1: any good? The ice chunks are getting bad. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, The ice chunks aren't getting bad. The ice
Speaker 1: chunks are becoming one gigantic lake of ice. And the
Speaker 1: Soviets are people who know how to adapt to the cold.
Speaker 1: You see, the lake gets icy. The Soviets build an
Speaker 1: ice road across the lake. Two truck supplies in and out.
Speaker 1: One of the most fascinating things. Highly recommend you look
Speaker 1: it up. They called it the Road of Life across
Speaker 1: the Lake, but there were some problems. Singing Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: returns next. This is a Jesse Kelly show. One has
Speaker 1: to appreciate the ingenuity of just making an ice road
Speaker 1: across the lake. And I just just so you don't
Speaker 1: oversimplify it in your mind. There are places like you'll
Speaker 1: see this in northern places like minnieapp like Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: things like that where it's so cold, the ice is
Speaker 1: so thick across the lake that everybody drives on the ice,
Speaker 1: So you see ice fishing. Ice fishing, they do this.
Speaker 1: They'll set up like a cabin in the lake for
Speaker 1: those unfamiliar with it. They'll they'll heat these cabins. I'm
Speaker 1: not making that up. They'll heat these cabins, and you
Speaker 1: drill a hole deep, deep into the ice to get
Speaker 1: down to the water. The ice is so thick and
Speaker 1: strong you just don't have to worry about it. However,
Speaker 1: it takes a great deal of knowledge and experience to
Speaker 1: know which lakes you can do that on, which parts
Speaker 1: of the lake you can do that on. And understand
Speaker 1: this for you Southerners, and I understand we have a
Speaker 1: huge Southern following. If you fall through the ice into
Speaker 1: the water, you're not cold, you're dead. There's an excellent
Speaker 1: chance you are dead. If there's any flow at all,
Speaker 1: and oftentimes there's some kind of current going on, you
Speaker 1: will not be able to find the hole where you
Speaker 1: went into the water. Even if you come out of
Speaker 1: the water immediately right underneath the hole and find the hole,
Speaker 1: there's an excellent chance you can't get out of the hole.
Speaker 1: It's very difficult to get out of the hole when
Speaker 1: you have hypothermia pretty much instantly, and you're losing the
Speaker 1: ability to use your muscles properly and you're climbing up
Speaker 1: on the ice. Also, I keep using the word hole,
Speaker 1: Perhaps I should rephrase. If you're in a situation where
Speaker 1: you break through the ice in a vehicle or just
Speaker 1: as a person, you don't generally break off a nice,
Speaker 1: neat little edge with a good firm handhold, like your
Speaker 1: neighbor's swimming pool. I have no problem getting out of
Speaker 1: the neighbor's swimming pool. You've not only broken it off,
Speaker 1: you've broken it off in a weaker place where even
Speaker 1: if you manage to get ahold of the edge as
Speaker 1: you pull yourself up, the edge will break off. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work like it does in the movies. If you
Speaker 1: go in to an icy lake, break into an icy lake,
Speaker 1: you are in deep, deep trouble, and I mean very
Speaker 1: deep trouble. And all that was to say, even if
Speaker 1: you happen to get out right away. Let's say a
Speaker 1: miracle happens and you go through the ice at the
Speaker 1: whole ends up being right there when you come up,
Speaker 1: and you have a body, because normally you need a
Speaker 1: body that helps you get right out of the water.
Speaker 1: Don't think for one second you're out of the woods. Jack.
Speaker 1: You have to get those icy clothes off you right
Speaker 1: now because they're killing you. On top of that, you
Speaker 1: have to get a fire started or get in a
Speaker 1: very warm environment right now, because your body temperature has
Speaker 1: dropped so low you now have hypothermia and your heart
Speaker 1: is going to stop. I grew up in Montana. I
Speaker 1: know about this is a big, big deal. It's a
Speaker 1: death sentence. You fall in something like that. Well, they
Speaker 1: make this road of life, and of course, because you
Speaker 1: can't have any luck at all, as soon as they
Speaker 1: get it built, it warms back up again and they lose.
Speaker 1: Forty trucks just fall right through the ice bots, you know,
Speaker 1: to their It gets cold again and the ice freezes
Speaker 1: back up, and they're still churning up. Now. The Nazis
Speaker 1: are not stupid, so they're constantly making life very difficult.
Speaker 1: There are still skeletons at the bottom of that lake
Speaker 1: because the Nazis are dropping bombs on the lake, weakening
Speaker 1: that ice, making it so trucks will fall through. And
Speaker 1: now your citizens are so hungry, so hungry. Now they're
Speaker 1: starting to die. And the thing about these sieges when
Speaker 1: citizens start start to die is they start to die slow.
Speaker 1: But then it happens so fast. And it's the weak
Speaker 1: people or the people who've been starving themselves who go first,
Speaker 1: which makes it even harder. You know, it's your elderly people.
Speaker 1: They didn't they don't have the fat build ups, they
Speaker 1: don't have the energy anymore. I feel like watching Grandma's
Speaker 1: starve today. And sometimes it's the people, the selfless people,
Speaker 1: often parents or a husband or a wife or a mother,
Speaker 1: they go first to why because you're giving your food
Speaker 1: ration to your kids so they can live. Understandable, honorable,
Speaker 1: it's what you should do. But shoot, I saw an
Speaker 1: interview with a guy. He had to be dang near
Speaker 1: eighty years old, if not eighty plus, and he was
Speaker 1: a kid in Leningrad and his father died and at
Speaker 1: eighty some years old, this dude got choked up and
Speaker 1: started crying talking about watching his father starved to death.
Speaker 1: And it happens fast, and this is how fast it happens.
Speaker 1: In November of nineteen forty one, ten thousand people in
Speaker 1: Leningrad died. You know how many died the next month
Speaker 1: fifty thousand. You know how many a month and the
Speaker 1: months after that over one hundred thousand a month. And
Speaker 1: how rationing works when you're when you're rationing off food.
Speaker 1: You know how rationing works is you generally, if they can,
Speaker 1: if it's organized enough, you get a ration card. You're
Speaker 1: this person. So here's your ration card, and you show
Speaker 1: up the at the food place and you show them
Speaker 1: your ration card and they give you as much food
Speaker 1: as you're allotted on your ration card. Well, now you're
Speaker 1: getting to the point where people are trying to survive,
Speaker 1: so relatives will die. Relatives will die, and you won't
Speaker 1: take them outside and bury them because then people find
Speaker 1: out they're dead. Instead, you leave them inside the home
Speaker 1: so you can take their ration card and use it
Speaker 1: so the rest of the family can live. There are
Speaker 1: chucking out some corpses, and the Soviets are having to
Speaker 1: guard the corpses because people are starting to track down
Speaker 1: the corpses and eat them Donner party all over again.
Speaker 1: The Soviets are trying to avoid this. They view this
Speaker 1: as some kind of horrible immorality. They start charging people
Speaker 1: with crimes, stop eating other people. Time to cover your ears. Kids.
Speaker 1: This is when it's going to get ugly. For just
Speaker 1: a second. I won't dwell on it. There are stories
Speaker 1: of parents killing one of their children so the other
Speaker 1: children can eat. There are stories of husbands killing wives,
Speaker 1: wives killing husbands, children killing their parents so other people
Speaker 1: can eat. Oftentimes willingly, yes, kill me. I want you
Speaker 1: to survive. What's the toughest day you ever had in
Speaker 1: your life? Do you remember that story in the beginning
Speaker 1: about kids not being allowed outside go In any situation
Speaker 1: like this, a black market will become, you know, just
Speaker 1: the thing, a very powerful thing. And this is the
Speaker 1: point in the story where kids were not allowed outside
Speaker 1: alone to play, to pray, because people would snatch them
Speaker 1: up and kill them and eat them. You're at the
Speaker 1: point where people were becoming monsters. You starve somebody long enough,
Speaker 1: people become monsters. You hear stories like this from the
Speaker 1: old Soviet gulags, ironically, in the same country where the
Speaker 1: conditions were so bad. The starvation was so bad, the cold,
Speaker 1: everything was so bad. It didn't make people better, It
Speaker 1: didn't bring people together. It turned them into monsters. Hang

Speaker 1: and ten percent off. Jesse Kelly backs in. Disease comes
Speaker 1: to something we've talked about before, something we'll talk about
Speaker 1: often because it comes into place so often. When it
Speaker 1: comes to siege is another thing we don't take into
Speaker 1: account here in America. And I understand we are not
Speaker 1: exactly Disease free here, and often many of our diseases
Speaker 1: are because we're too fat and lazy and eat too
Speaker 1: many processed foods. I get all that, and believe me,
Speaker 1: guilty is charged, all right, had a lovely Jack in
Speaker 1: the Box dinner last night. Guilty as charged. But disease
Speaker 1: really really comes when you don't have the nutrition, When
Speaker 1: your body doesn't have the fuel it needs to fight
Speaker 1: things off, and disease begin to come. But there's good news.
Speaker 1: The good news is, remember the other parts of the war,
Speaker 1: the other three army groups, they ain't doing so hot.
Speaker 1: And now we're starting to see Soviet reinforcements heading towards Leningrad.
Speaker 1: We're starting to see Stalin realizes he's going to be
Speaker 1: able to save the place. They start churning more and
Speaker 1: more supplies. In fact, the ice road actually melts because
Speaker 1: the season just ends in the weather gets better. But
Speaker 1: now the boats are churning across. And all this was
Speaker 1: on top of the fact the Nazis just weren't quite
Speaker 1: ready for winters, so they ended up being hurt really
Speaker 1: badly in the winter. Anyway, now they're still bombing and
Speaker 1: they're still shelling. The Soviets get there, but they don't
Speaker 1: have a big enough group. It's one of these anticlimactic things.
Speaker 1: I actually think this is the part of the story
Speaker 1: that maybe the most heartbreaking. The Soviets get there, you know,
Speaker 1: Soviet troops get there to get in, and they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, it's counterattack time. We got these Nazis on
Speaker 1: their heels. They had a rough winter, it's time to
Speaker 1: go get them. And they do this huge counterattack and
Speaker 1: they just get their butts whipped. This army group north
Speaker 1: was very well equipped, very well led. They were very capable,
Speaker 1: very very capable German army. So you didn't break out.
Speaker 1: But now you've again, you've weakened them so much. Now
Speaker 1: the end. Now the end is coming, and now Leningrad
Speaker 1: is getting up and running again. They're opening the factories
Speaker 1: back up, bringing the machinery back in. Now Leningrads churning
Speaker 1: out tanks. Soon, very soon, the Soviet army gets there
Speaker 1: and the Nazi army has to pick up and cut
Speaker 1: and run back west along with the rest of the Germans.
Speaker 1: And this is the part I think is so so
Speaker 1: cool because you've just got to picture it in your head.
Speaker 1: They didn't have really fireworks and such, and they didn't
Speaker 1: have anything. They still didn't have, you know, large quantities
Speaker 1: of food, although they were shipping over meets and things
Speaker 1: like that. The people were finally getting nutrition again. But
Speaker 1: the day the siege was lifted over nine hundred days,
Speaker 1: the day the siege was lifted, the army, the Soviet army,
Speaker 1: fired off all kinds of flares and things over the city,
Speaker 1: and all the citizens finally came out of their homes
Speaker 1: and celebrated and cheered and sang and danced. Nine hundred days,
Speaker 1: you know how many civilians died in Leningrad, eight hundred
Speaker 1: thousand of them, eight hundred thousand dead civilians. You see,
Speaker 1: I understand the level of angst out there right now,
Speaker 1: and it's getting worse. It's not necessarily just about the election.
Speaker 1: I caught myself getting involved in it last night too.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm looking at the people Biden's going
Speaker 1: to put around him. Biden's already you know, this guy's
Speaker 1: gonna be my chief of staff, this guy's gonna be
Speaker 1: my coronavirus advisor. This guy's gonna be this, this guy's
Speaker 1: gonna be that. And it's easy to forget when you're
Speaker 1: separated from it. How crappy it is to have a
Speaker 1: Democrat president, especially these days considering how radically different they
Speaker 1: are and the absolute nutballs they put around him. And
Speaker 1: I've just had a moment last night. It was a
Speaker 1: bad moment. Someone had screwed up my order and you
Speaker 1: know how much that screws up my entire evening. We'll
Speaker 1: go into that in a second. Ended up in a
Speaker 1: car wreck last night. I'll go into all this and
Speaker 1: just a second. We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 1: But I had this moment. You know, I don't generally
Speaker 1: get down in the dumps, and it's not as if
Speaker 1: I was over there crying or something. I'm not a girl.
Speaker 1: But I had this moment where I was just, man,
Speaker 1: this sucks, This really sucks, and you forget how bad
Speaker 1: it sucks. But we're still blessed, aren't we? Aren't we
Speaker 1: still so blessed. It's so easy no matter what your
Speaker 1: lot in life is. And I have run the gamut
Speaker 1: in my life, so let me tell you it's the
Speaker 1: same no matter what, No matter what your lot in
Speaker 1: life is, poor, can't pay the bills, got a ton
Speaker 1: of cash on a yacht somewhere. It's easy to look
Speaker 1: around and see nothing but the problems. But everything in
Speaker 1: life is a matter of perspective. Look around at the
Speaker 1: blessings now. And then I told Chris when I walked
Speaker 1: in to day, I have this insane day, just insanely
Speaker 1: busy day. I had a radio interview before I came
Speaker 1: on the show, and now I have my three hour
Speaker 1: radio show, and then immediately when I'm done with the
Speaker 1: radio show, I have to run into my TV studio
Speaker 1: and do a twenty minute TV interview, And as soon
Speaker 1: as that TV interview was over, a different TV station
Speaker 1: wants to interview me, and that's going to be twenty
Speaker 1: minutes long. And then I have to record my TV show,
Speaker 1: and then immediately after the TV show, do another TV
Speaker 1: interview with a totally different station. And as soon as
Speaker 1: that TV interview is done, I have to do a
Speaker 1: final radio hit on the big KABC in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I didn't make any part of that up. That's my
Speaker 1: day today. And I get in and I tell Chris,
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm so busy today, and then I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it. As soon as I got don't tell them,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, dude, you talk on the radio and
Speaker 1: into a camera for a living. Don't complain about your life.
Speaker 1: You get paid to screw off and have fun with
Speaker 1: people you love. Life's good and I still have my
Speaker 1: cup of water. Life is good. So you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set aside this Biden coronavirus advisor right now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set aside the post office stuff, the alcohol
Speaker 1: sales to everything else, and I will get to them.
Speaker 1: I will get to them. But it's time. We're gonna
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell the tale of my evening last night.
Speaker 1: I frustrated evening last night. All these problems are really
Speaker 1: really minor believing, but he was my evening. I was
Speaker 1: extremely busy yesterday too, so I didn't get it. Sometimes
Speaker 1: this happens. I didn't get a chance to eat. I
Speaker 1: woke up yesterday morning, I'm mowed a breakfast burrito on
Speaker 1: the way to work. But after that I did not
Speaker 1: have a chance to eat. And finally it's five o'clock
Speaker 1: in the evening, four or five o'clock in the evening,
Speaker 1: I finally get done doing TV and everything else, and
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely starving. And We've had this talk before, but
Speaker 1: everybody needs to know this about me. I'm already a
Speaker 1: bad person, no matter what. When I haven't eaten, I'm
Speaker 1: the Antichrist. There's I don't hypeoglycemic or hyperglycemic. I've never
Speaker 1: been diagnosed like that. Whatever it is, you know the
Speaker 1: term angry. I just turned into just an angry, mean person.
Speaker 1: And I can feel it, you know, I can feel
Speaker 1: it when I'm interacting with other people and I'm snapping
Speaker 1: at somebody who doesn't deserve it. I know I'm being

Speaker 1: A message brought to you by AARP and the AD Council.
Speaker 1: I've been having a hard time sorting through all the
Speaker 1: stuff when it comes to fraud, voting regularities. What's real?
Speaker 1: What's fake? What's because you can't you can't believe everything
Speaker 1: you see. You can't believe anything you see until you
Speaker 1: actually dig into it. And Pedro Gonzalez with American Greatness,
Speaker 1: he's the assistant editor American Greatness. He's been all over
Speaker 1: the stuff. I asked him to come on, Pedro, pretend
Speaker 1: an idiot, which is not exactly a stretch. What is real?
Speaker 1: What is fake? Is the election stolen? Is it kind
Speaker 1: of stolen? Is it not stolen at all? Is it
Speaker 1: just a lot of mail in votes? What happened? I
Speaker 1: think fraud is actually unfortunately implicit in a democratic system
Speaker 1: because when people are free, and human nature being what
Speaker 1: it is, people are going to cheat, but fraud is
Speaker 1: typically small scale and isolated. What we're discussing right now
Speaker 1: is whether or not fraud at a large scale happened,
Speaker 1: and whether or not that fraud was coordinated, all going
Speaker 1: in the same direction. And I think that's the point
Speaker 1: of being. I mean, that is the point of the
Speaker 1: investigations we're having now. And it does look like there
Speaker 1: are many credible examples of fraud or at least irregularities
Speaker 1: that should make anyone who is objective and cares about
Speaker 1: whether or not we can still choose our representatives want
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of what actually happened. Even third, Okay,
Speaker 1: irregular charities. I hear this word a lot. What does
Speaker 1: that mean? How irregular is it? Regularities would be something
Speaker 1: like a poll worker saying that the night before the election,
Speaker 1: software was uploaded onto dominion voting machines, which Dominion Voting
Speaker 1: system supplies these voting machines for most of the country.
Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting is you can find these
Speaker 1: reports and totally mainstream sources where you think you might
Speaker 1: not see it, Like in Politico you have poll workers
Speaker 1: saying that the night before the election, dominion voting systems
Speaker 1: did the software to their machine, didn't update to their software,
Speaker 1: and that they have never seen that hat before and
Speaker 1: in like the three or four election cycles that they've
Speaker 1: been using these machines, there has never been something like this.
Speaker 1: And as a results, you have in Georgia machines in
Speaker 1: two or three different counties stop stop accepting accepting ballots
Speaker 1: for a few hours. In one I think in Michigan
Speaker 1: you have an example of six thousand votes experiencing a
Speaker 1: glitch and going from Trump to Biden, and then that
Speaker 1: gets caught and it's reversed, but still unsettling, especially when
Speaker 1: you consider the fact that these machines reach about seventy
Speaker 1: one million people in sixteen hundred jurisdictions and all across
Speaker 1: the country. There have been issues like this where the
Speaker 1: machines will kind of freeze or there'll be these glitches
Speaker 1: that will result in tabulation eras like this example of
Speaker 1: Michigan with a six thousand vote switch. Are there any
Speaker 1: of these switches or glitches or freezes any of them
Speaker 1: that we know of, because I want to try to
Speaker 1: be fair here that switched votes the other way? Did
Speaker 1: any of these do we have any case at all
Speaker 1: of a vote going from Biden to Donald Trump, Not
Speaker 1: that I've seen. They all seem to go, like I said,
Speaker 1: in one direction. And the dominion voting systems, I think
Speaker 1: is a really big story. But there are small examples.
Speaker 1: In Glendale, the city of Mericopa County, you had a
Speaker 1: ballots that were flat from mailboxes and thrown into a
Speaker 1: pile at a farm and someone found them and called
Speaker 1: the police, and the Attorney General is doing an investigation there.
Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, you have a report that the Wisconsin Elections
Speaker 1: Commission and started reporters to incorrectly accept ballots that I
Speaker 1: think they were not signed properly. And it's funny because
Speaker 1: the wec knew that this was really illegal. So they said,
Speaker 1: if a ballot is submitted incorrectly in in this manner
Speaker 1: market with a red pen and cased as an audit
Speaker 1: or a recount, which is going to happen more than likely.
Speaker 1: So and again, all this stuff seems to help Biden,
Speaker 1: or at least it does not help Trump. Why does it?
Speaker 1: Why does it help Joe Biden to have somebody say,
Speaker 1: Jack a bunch of ballots from mailboxes in Maricopa county
Speaker 1: and throw them in a farmer's ditch. Why is that
Speaker 1: beneficial to Joe Biden? These are all areas where the
Speaker 1: races were really close. These are all areas where Biden's
Speaker 1: fleet is really really marginal? Is there all areas? It's
Speaker 1: like America's the county for example? That is that is
Speaker 1: I think one of the areas that Trump was counting
Speaker 1: to come through for him in these ballots was twite
Speaker 1: from a rural area, And these are the areas that
Speaker 1: tended to be so again. And I think it's, like
Speaker 1: you said, it's important we have to be fair about this,
Speaker 1: and we can't just because it's it's especially counterproductive to
Speaker 1: just throw around all these delegations you know that the
Speaker 1: election was stolen, because even if you do believe that,
Speaker 1: it doesn't help your cause to sound like that. And
Speaker 1: so I think that the way that this needs to
Speaker 1: be understood is that this isn't everyone's interest Again, Do
Speaker 1: we can we still choose our representatives fairly? How big
Speaker 1: do you? I mean, you're the one that's been combing
Speaker 1: through the actual facts. Was it big enough? Did it
Speaker 1: change the election or not? In your opinion? I know
Speaker 1: we're still waiting on a bunch of stuff to come out.
Speaker 1: Could it be big enough? Do you think it was
Speaker 1: big enough? What do we what do we know? Well,
Speaker 1: here's my I began for the premise that this was
Speaker 1: never going to be a landslide either way. I always
Speaker 1: knew that this was going to be close, and that
Speaker 1: Trump had to escape the margin of Shenanigans, we'll call
Speaker 1: it that. And I don't know that he did that,
Speaker 1: because the more I look at voting data, the more
Speaker 1: it seems to meet it. Well, I think it's it's
Speaker 1: people already acknowledging this. Trump lost white voters, especially white
Speaker 1: working class men, although he gained voters about of pretty
Speaker 1: much other every other demographic. And I think that losing
Speaker 1: I know that losing those white voters put him either
Speaker 1: caused him to actually lose the election or put him
Speaker 1: within this margin where fraud of some certain scale could
Speaker 1: cause him to lose. Why did he lose white working
Speaker 1: class voters? I have my own theory. I want to
Speaker 1: hear Pedro Gonzalez. Frankly, I think that he along the
Speaker 1: way started listening to the wrong people. That his advisors
Speaker 1: like Jared Kushner and Brook Rawlins and Jones Smith and
Speaker 1: started basically turning from economic populism, which is good for everyone,
Speaker 1: and started resorting to pandering. You know, the promise of
Speaker 1: law and order gave way to criminal justice reform. You
Speaker 1: had rappers like Ice Cube become the face of the movement.
Speaker 1: Ice Cube was in the White House advising Jared Kushner.
Speaker 1: He asked for a five hundred billion dollar capital investment
Speaker 1: for black communities only, and he got it. So you
Speaker 1: have rappers advising like senior White House personnel and getting
Speaker 1: what they want. And then on the other hand, you
Speaker 1: have the talk of eliminating birthright citizenship gave way to
Speaker 1: amnesty proposals because again it was seen as like, well,
Speaker 1: we need to float amnesteep and we need to soften
Speaker 1: our towne and immigration because we'll turn off Latinos if
Speaker 1: we don't. And so I think all of these, all
Speaker 1: these gimmicks distracted from the original mandate of twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: And when you're some white working class guy who's been
Speaker 1: neglected by both parties for a generation and you threw
Speaker 1: your ballot in with this guy thinking that things were
Speaker 1: going to be different, and all of a sudden, he
Speaker 1: kind of takes your vote for granted, and he's just
Speaker 1: sort of pandering to all these different groups and acknowledging
Speaker 1: the existence of all these different groups, but not really
Speaker 1: you know, not really looking to you that the people
Speaker 1: that put him in power more than anybody else. I
Speaker 1: think it creates a kind of a disaffection, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe even resentment. And I've heard, I've heard firsthand from
Speaker 1: like union organizers who who threw their vote into Trump
Speaker 1: because you know, they said, well, what do we have
Speaker 1: to lose? We know that everyone else is going to
Speaker 1: screw us, so we'll go with this guy. And right
Speaker 1: now they're not happy, you know, they're they're they're saying
Speaker 1: that he ended up being just like everyone else in
Speaker 1: their eyes. Pedro Gonzalez, American greatness. You've been all over this.
Speaker 1: Thank you for what you're doing. Man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I have been avoiding the white
Speaker 1: working class voter topic, not because I don't want to
Speaker 1: address it, as everybody knows, I'll address anything here, because
Speaker 1: I wanted to see all the rest of this stuff
Speaker 1: hash out first. There's a time for anything. And it
Speaker 1: actually looks like I mean, we were always on this
Speaker 1: collision course. We were hoping the show would get popular
Speaker 1: enough that it was too big to cancel for me
Speaker 1: saying offensive things all the time. And it actually looks
Speaker 1: like it's getting to that point in time, So I'm
Speaker 1: going to have enough time to address it when the
Speaker 1: time comes. I just don't think it's quite time yet.
Speaker 1: Hang on, I'll tell you my evening story missed out?
Speaker 1: Catch up Jesse kellyshow dot com, Carshield dot com. While
Speaker 1: I'm talking, do you go there and start browsing their plans?
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking about. Why would I have
Speaker 1: to browse an auto protection plan because it's not an
Speaker 1: auto protection plan? I said, auto protection plans. You see.
Speaker 1: If there's one thing I can tell you about car Shield,
Speaker 1: it's that they give you options. They have a wide

Speaker 1: A deductible may apply. I get home and I'm starving
Speaker 1: almost to death. What Chris. It was like the people
Speaker 1: of Leningrad. I know what they went through. I had
Speaker 1: neaton since seven am that morning, but it's it's four
Speaker 1: or five that's Look, that's a long time for a
Speaker 1: growing boy to go without food. What Chris. So I'm
Speaker 1: starving almost to death. I thought about eating sawdust, but
Speaker 1: in dead I decide to get some tacos delivered. I
Speaker 1: have this taco delivery place, not going into the details
Speaker 1: of it. They deliver me tacos. They're like my favorite
Speaker 1: thing in the world. And of course I'm getting chips
Speaker 1: in caso delivered with it. The beauty of this taco place,
Speaker 1: one of the beauties of it is it's electronic. The
Speaker 1: delivery is electronic, meaning I get to select the exact
Speaker 1: tacos I want the case so I want, I get
Speaker 1: to select the ingredients I want to add. I get
Speaker 1: to select the ingredients I want to subtract, and I
Speaker 1: don't have to bank on the impossibly bad lack of
Speaker 1: phone skills out there listening and communicating. I don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about that because it's electronic. I am checking boxes.
Speaker 1: I want this cheese. I don't want Cilancho because Cilancho's
Speaker 1: of the devil. I want this. I want that I
Speaker 1: get to. It couldn't possibly be better. I select to
Speaker 1: get with my tacos, and I won't be judged for this.
Speaker 1: I'm not going into the details. I de select the
Speaker 1: Publano Ranch and I select the Chipotle Ranch. While I
Speaker 1: am a Publano Pepper fan, I will not be painted
Speaker 1: as anti Publano Pepper. The Publano Ranch is average, and
Speaker 1: it goes terribly with these tacos. The Chipotle Ranch, however, perfection,
Speaker 1: absolute perfection. I put in my electronic order. I'm so
Speaker 1: hungry that I put in my electronic order when I'm
Speaker 1: waiting to pick my boys up from school. The food
Speaker 1: has to be waiting for me about when I get home,
Speaker 1: or I'm just gonna raid the cupboard any like a
Speaker 1: dozen eggs or something. I get home. By this point,
Speaker 1: I'm on the dark side of debt and ding Dong
Speaker 1: food gets there. I go over, grab my bag of food,
Speaker 1: and now it's at that point where my mouth is watering.
Speaker 1: I'm just starving. Everybody knows. Just please, let's get Dad
Speaker 1: some food before we lose him. I sit down, pull
Speaker 1: out all the food, and what kind of ranch do
Speaker 1: you think falls out of the bag? Bablana ranch. I'm
Speaker 1: blind with rage. I look at the receipt, because this
Speaker 1: particular place prints off an entire a whole paper, not
Speaker 1: even like a little paper receipt. It's very weird. They
Speaker 1: print off an entire piece of printer paper with your
Speaker 1: order on it. And it not only get this, it
Speaker 1: not only has my Chipotle Ranch on the receipt. Somebody
Speaker 1: at the restaurant was conscientious enough to circle and underline
Speaker 1: Chipotle Ranch with a pen. See. This is why I
Speaker 1: feel for managers. Some manager took this order, circled it,
Speaker 1: underlined it, and gave it to somebody, and they still
Speaker 1: screwed it up. So I sit down as I do now.
Speaker 1: I will not pay for bad service. I will not
Speaker 1: pay for bad food. I could have just said screw it.
Speaker 1: I called the restaurant and I stayed on the phone
Speaker 1: until every single penny of my order was refunded. Screw
Speaker 1: you find people who aren't idiots. I'm going now to
Speaker 1: get food, and I'm restaurant guy. I want small businesses.
Speaker 1: I want all businesses to stay in business. But if
Speaker 1: you cannot train your people to follow the instructions that
Speaker 1: are printed out and underlined on a piece of paper,
Speaker 1: that's your problem, not my problem. And I'm done spending
Speaker 1: money on it. So now I'm starved, absolute starved. I
Speaker 1: tell the wife, I'm like, I'll be back, and she
Speaker 1: knows enough to not even ask. She knows I'm going
Speaker 1: to eat. She knows I'm not gonna want to stop
Speaker 1: and just gus where I'm going to eat. Just this,
Speaker 1: Let him go, let him go get some food. He'll
Speaker 1: be back, he'll be better once he gets back. Cruise
Speaker 1: out of there. And I decide, well, all right, you
Speaker 1: know there's a there's a Jack in the Box Taco
Speaker 1: Bell that share a parking lot close to where I am.
Speaker 1: And don't think for one second, I'm above going two
Speaker 1: different drive throughs to put together the perfect meal, which
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. We'll talk about that some other time,
Speaker 1: not today, but in between the Jack in the Box
Speaker 1: and Taco bell. There's this terrible little parking lot intersection, uncontrolled,
Speaker 1: no stop signs, and of course trees everywhere because it
Speaker 1: has to look beautiful. Well, nobody can see some girl.
Speaker 1: I don't some high school girl. I don't want to
Speaker 1: put it on her. Everybody was an idiot in high school.
Speaker 1: I was pretty much at a stop. But some girl
Speaker 1: comes flush, she had to be doing thirty through there,
Speaker 1: and just absolutely slams into the front left fender of
Speaker 1: my truck. Now, I have a pickup truck. She had
Speaker 1: this wee little car, and her car just got caved in.
Speaker 1: I have a little, a little dent in my fender
Speaker 1: I'm not even tried to have to replace. And that's
Speaker 1: so bad. So now, and I haven't gotten my food yet.
Speaker 1: Now wham I get hit? Oh gosh. I hop out
Speaker 1: of the car right away and run over to make
Speaker 1: sure she's okay. So I want to make sure everybody's
Speaker 1: okay for us, because you never know she's fine, she's fine, scared, rattled,
Speaker 1: has to pull her car over. I pull my car over,
Speaker 1: Call the cops, hang them. One in three adults has
Speaker 1: pre diabetes. One in three. That means it could be
Speaker 1: you your football buddy, your fruitball buddy, or you your
Speaker 1: best man, your worst man. You you're a dog walker,
Speaker 1: You're a cat jugger. While one in three adults has
Speaker 1: pre diabetes. With early diagnosis, pre diabetes can be reversed.
Speaker 1: Take the risk test at do I have pre diabetes
Speaker 1: dot org? That's do I have pre diabetes dot org? Wait,
Speaker 1: did they just say one in three adults has pre diabetes.
Speaker 1: That's thirty three point three three three percent of adults.
Speaker 1: That means it could be me my boss or my
Speaker 1: boss's boss, or me my favorite sister or my other sister.
Speaker 1: That's seven members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait,
Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol,
Speaker 1: or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take the
Speaker 1: risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org?
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the AD Council and it's pre
Speaker 1: Diabetes Awareness Partners. I want everybody to know that I'm okay.
Speaker 1: I know you're gravely concerned. I can just I can
Speaker 1: hear the concern right now in the audience's voice. Am
Speaker 1: I going to live? Probably? Probably? I can't make guarantees,
Speaker 1: but I'm probably gonna make it oz fine. Girl was fine,
Speaker 1: went and got my jack in the box. But man,
Speaker 1: when you really assess the quality of people who take
Speaker 1: your order, deliver your order out there, how often the
Speaker 1: most basic thing, the most basic things get screwed up.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that drive home how Joe Biden can win an election?
Speaker 1: I've been telling Look, maybe it's because I'm making everything
Speaker 1: about the election these days, But as soon as I
Speaker 1: got the order on top of the anchor and everything,
Speaker 1: I actually said to myself, well, I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: how we vote in a guy with dementia over the
Speaker 1: guy who with the booming economy. The Jesse Kelly Show,
Speaker 1: this is a Jesse Kelly show. Chris just told me
Speaker 1: the Heaven's Gate caught people. There's a couple of them
Speaker 1: still alive. Do you remember I rent seeing It's one
Speaker 1: of the first news stories I remember as a kid,
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna screw all this up because I did
Speaker 1: no research. Chris brought this up five and a half
Speaker 1: seconds before the radio show came back. I just remember
Speaker 1: as a kid being fascinated because the news actually took
Speaker 1: the cameras in there, and there were these bunk rooms
Speaker 1: and bunk beds, and they were all I think they
Speaker 1: were in sleeping bags with purple cloth. They weren't sleeping bags, clicking, yeah, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were looking up again, I think they were. They
Speaker 1: were all in track suits with the purple Clothsie, I
Speaker 1: remember the purple cloth over their heads. All right, Maybe
Speaker 1: it was just track suits and they'd all committed this
Speaker 1: mass suicide in this bunk room. Apparently there are a
Speaker 1: couple quitters who didn't go through with it. Like to
Speaker 1: know where they get off. Biden coronavirus advisor calls for
Speaker 1: four to six week lockdown. Starting to have some PTSD
Speaker 1: over here, Chris, I'm not you know what, Chris. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to find something. We have to find some
Speaker 1: good news, because here's the deal. I warned about all this.
Speaker 1: I warned people about this at the very beginning. It's
Speaker 1: one of the things I'm most proud of. And not
Speaker 1: not on day two, not on day twenty, not on
Speaker 1: day fifty. On day one, the second somebody suggested locking
Speaker 1: down the economy, I lost my mind. You'll remember, how
Speaker 1: often do I actually get mad on the show and
Speaker 1: start yelling. I don't because I don't want to stress
Speaker 1: you out. I'm trying to make I'm trying to make
Speaker 1: your drive from home to the office better. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do interesting, laugh, entertaining, maybe gets you
Speaker 1: informed every now and then, as much as I'm capable of.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: change the world. I lost my mind on the radio
Speaker 1: for about a two week period of time, just blood pressure.
Speaker 1: I could still see the veins pouring out of my
Speaker 1: forehead as I lost my mind, screaming, begging, pleading with people,
Speaker 1: do not go along with these lockdowns. One, you're going
Speaker 1: to wreck the economy too. They don't have the freedom
Speaker 1: under the law to do this. And three you're telling
Speaker 1: them in the future that they can do this to you.
Speaker 1: And what's It's maddening. I have a guy in the
Speaker 1: White House, That's all I'm gonna say about it. My
Speaker 1: guy let me know, Donald Trump was reading my social
Speaker 1: media posts during that time. Not only was he reading them,
Speaker 1: my guy was giving them to him in print form.
Speaker 1: So I know that up to the highest levels they
Speaker 1: were reading what I was saying, and nobody listened because
Speaker 1: once that ball was it, you can say, wow, but
Speaker 1: what are you talking about they're all against them? Know,
Speaker 1: they're all against them now, But the narrative is set early.
Speaker 1: As I always tell you, tell me about the stance
Speaker 1: you take in the beginning, when the narrative is getting set.
Speaker 1: Are you willing to take the unpopular stance in the beginning?
Speaker 1: Remember right after George Floyd died too, everybody, cops are racist? Look,
Speaker 1: how not racist? I am, I'm not racist. We need
Speaker 1: federal police or for him, And I'm all, wait, what not?
Speaker 1: All cops are good, Most cops aren't bad. But cops
Speaker 1: are not the problem in the urban black community. And
Speaker 1: that's just dumb to even say that. That's completely fact free,
Speaker 1: that's idiotic. But everybody you heard what Pedro Gonzalez talked about,
Speaker 1: including President Trump, had Van Jones into the White House
Speaker 1: immediately to advise him. Everybody went along with that. All
Speaker 1: but America's terrible to black man and he lost white
Speaker 1: working class voters. You might not have been paying attention.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going into this right now. I was
Speaker 1: paying attention. Even during the baits. Donald Trump wouldn't talk
Speaker 1: about Black Lives Matter, talked about Antifa a lot, He
Speaker 1: would not talk about black lives matter until the final
Speaker 1: debate when he finally saw how unpopular that group was,
Speaker 1: and I was there day one saying these are murderous
Speaker 1: Marxist scumbags. Biden coronavirus advisor calls for four to six
Speaker 1: week lockdown. Who's going to oppose him? We have Ohio's
Speaker 1: Republican Governor DeWine. He's already coming out in favor of everything.
Speaker 1: More masks, more lockdowns, more of this. The most financially
Speaker 1: damaging idea in the history of civilization and the history
Speaker 1: of civilization is the idea that you should lock down
Speaker 1: in economy to oppose coronavirus. It is the most financially
Speaker 1: damaging idea ever because now now that the narrative has
Speaker 1: been set, we can't change it now. Now it's in
Speaker 1: the minds of so many people, now that the narrative
Speaker 1: has been set, every nation, including ours, does that as
Speaker 1: a response. Whenever there's a spike, and it's a virus
Speaker 1: with no cure, there's going to be spikes for whatever.
Speaker 1: It ain't going anywhere. Every time there's a spike, lockdown,
Speaker 1: you're finished as a nation, finished unless you stop that.
Speaker 1: But it's so hard to stop it. Once the narrative
Speaker 1: has been set. Once people get to the point where
Speaker 1: that is cemented in their mind, you can't unlearn it.
Speaker 1: And it's screwing us. It's killing us, and it's going
Speaker 1: to keep killing us. Yeah, age gates on alcohol websites
Speaker 1: are ineffective. Texas A and M research shows that's shocking. Yes,
Speaker 1: and no questions and indefinite attempts to enter a legal
Speaker 1: date of birth are inconsequential barriers to underage users. An
Speaker 1: alcohol researcher says, what, no, I'm serious, Chris, that's what
Speaker 1: they say. Apparently they're called age gates quote alcohol brand.
Speaker 1: Age gates are weak at best and likely an inconsequential
Speaker 1: barrier that someone with limited math abilities can easily overcome,
Speaker 1: said Adam Barrier, professor at the Department of Health and Kinseology.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing, obviously, not that this information came out.
Speaker 1: What's amazing was somewhere out there in the world there's
Speaker 1: a person who's so weapons grade naive they thought making
Speaker 1: people enter their birthday without verification on a website would
Speaker 1: actually stop somebody underage from ordering alcohol. What planet do
Speaker 1: people reside on? I grew up in the era before
Speaker 1: this kind of food delivery, and certainly before alcohol delivery,
Speaker 1: where you actually had to walk in and purchase booze
Speaker 1: if you wanted to purchase booze. And the age limit
Speaker 1: was still twenty one when I grew up, and we
Speaker 1: somehow never went without beer. What did you think was
Speaker 1: going to happen on websites? Come on, man, I can't decide,
Speaker 1: though sometimes, Chris, it's fun to make fun of these people.
Speaker 1: I can't decide. Are they happier than us? Though? Here's

Speaker 1: and obstacles and overcoming This is the way it is.
Speaker 1: Are the people who occupy a planet not of this one?
Speaker 1: Are they happier? Imagine being Imagine how dumb you have
Speaker 1: to be to think? Man, what we'll do is we'll
Speaker 1: make them have to enter their birthday. Did that person
Speaker 1: so dumb? They've never had a bad day in their life?

Speaker 1: This is written notification that you were placed in an
Speaker 1: off duty non paced status, effective November ten, twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: you were placed in this off duty non pay status
Speaker 1: as per Article sixteen point seven of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Speaker 1: As per Article sixteen point seven, an employee may be
Speaker 1: immediately placed on an off duty status without pay by employer,
Speaker 1: but remain on the rules where the allegation involves intoxication,
Speaker 1: pillfridge fed by blah blah, blah blah, and regulations, or
Speaker 1: in cases where retaining the employee may result in damage
Speaker 1: to the US Postal Service property, loss of mail or funds,
Speaker 1: or where the employee maybe injurious to self or others.
Speaker 1: On November fifth and sixth, your actions may have placed
Speaker 1: employees in yourself, as well as the reputation of the
Speaker 1: US Postal Service in harm's way. In case you're wondering
Speaker 1: what that is, that is an official letter sent to A.
Speaker 1: Richard Hopkins from Stephanie Hetrick, manager of Customer Service. That
Speaker 1: is her informing Richard you've been laid off. You've been
Speaker 1: laid off for placing the reputation of the US Postal
Speaker 1: Service in harms Way. You placed the US Postal Service
Speaker 1: in harms Way, how by reporting about what happened during
Speaker 1: the election. Board of Elections of Pennsylvania County votes to
Speaker 1: count more than two thousand ballots without dates. The Alleghany
Speaker 1: County Board of Elections. Remember remember when we had Selena
Speaker 1: zero on before the election and we asked her which
Speaker 1: counties to look at because the race is way too much,
Speaker 1: way too many places, and she said, one of the
Speaker 1: places you need to watch is Alleghany County of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: That will determine which way things go. The Board of
Speaker 1: Elections voted on Tuesday to account more than twenty three
Speaker 1: hundred ballots that do not have dates on the outer envelope,
Speaker 1: according to numerous local news sources. Wrap your mind around
Speaker 1: that we're counting ballots that don't even have a date,
Speaker 1: could have come in a day, two days, three days
Speaker 1: after the election. All this comes down to this, whether
Speaker 1: it was illegal, whether it was legal, whether it was fraud,
Speaker 1: whether there wasn't fraud. All this comes down to the
Speaker 1: fact Democrats used the coronavirus panic that Republicans helped push.
Speaker 1: They used the coronavirus panic to massively expand the number
Speaker 1: of people who were going to vote in the election.
Speaker 1: That's what mail in voting does. And when you massively
Speaker 1: expand the number of people who have access to something,
Speaker 1: that's something, the quality of it goes down hill, that
Speaker 1: is undeniable, period, end of story. And when the quality
Speaker 1: of the voter goes downhill, Democrats are going to win
Speaker 1: more elections. That's why I'm so worried about everything going
Speaker 1: on now, because it's not even about Donald Trump or
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Obviously, I want Trump to pull this off,
Speaker 1: and I don't think you will, but I want him
Speaker 1: to hopeful trying to be hopeful. That's why I care
Speaker 1: so much about this. It's not about Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You have four years in states that are
Speaker 1: oftentimes have Democrat governors. You have four years to reverse
Speaker 1: this massive mail in ballot trend or this happens again
Speaker 1: and then again, and then again and again and again.
Speaker 1: If there is a problem, it has to get solved,
Speaker 1: and it has to get solved quickly. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you hate Donald Trump's guts and you want him
Speaker 1: out of the Oval office today, if you're rooting for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to win the election just to be rid
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, you had better be all in on
Speaker 1: investigating each and every part of what happened in this election,
Speaker 1: or you are the most short term thinking, naive idiot
Speaker 1: on the face of the planet because you will never
Speaker 1: win an election again, even with your guy period. New
Speaker 1: York to impose a curfew on restaurants, bars, and gyms
Speaker 1: as COVID worsens across the United States of America. You
Speaker 1: know what, Chris, I can't even do it. I can't
Speaker 1: even do any more COVID news. It's that's that's that sucks.
Speaker 1: All right, It's time to have a talk here. What
Speaker 1: is it? I don't understand it with with women and
Speaker 1: calling without anything to say? Chris, does your girlfriend do this?
Speaker 1: See I tall look at him his girlfriend? Does you
Speaker 1: should see the air that just went out of Chris?
Speaker 1: I don't understand it? Is it? What is that is there?
Speaker 1: I don't call anybody, and let me be clear, do
Speaker 1: not call me if you can text me the information.
Speaker 1: Did you hear my schedule today? What was that? Eight interviews?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm going to talk all day. I'm not calling
Speaker 1: you when I'm done with all of it. I'm not
Speaker 1: calling you in between all of it. Put it in
Speaker 1: an email or text me. Stop asking me to call you.
Speaker 1: Stop it's not happening. I'm not doing it. But you know,
Speaker 1: going on to the wives or girlfriends. I think it's
Speaker 1: a comfort blanket thing, Chris. Where they'll call it. It'll
Speaker 1: be how's your day? It was good, baby, how's your day? Good?
Speaker 1: Good deal? I got kids, so on and so forth.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, well I'm gonna go. Oh you
Speaker 1: don't want to talk anymore? Well, you weren't saying anything,
Speaker 1: and they'll be like these five ten second lags where
Speaker 1: there nothing being said. No, I don't. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you want to talk, we can talk with it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to just sit here on the phone.
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to talk to me? It's not
Speaker 1: that it's not that I don't want to talk. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with talking. But if we're not, if we're not
Speaker 1: actually talking, what are we What are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Why are we? Why are we here? What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? I mean, you could call me back if
Speaker 1: you if you think of something. All right, I just
Speaker 1: want to go. You know, that's fine, so do I
Speaker 1: That's fine. Everything worked out fine there. It's true though, gosh,
Speaker 1: it's true. Uh, Chris, we've got to move and we're
Speaker 1: starting to do that thing now. We're packing up the house. What. No,
Speaker 1: you don't move when you sell the house, moron, there's
Speaker 1: so much it goes into that you have to get
Speaker 1: your financing lined up. I'm not made of money over here.
Speaker 1: I need a bank loan and things like that. Then
Speaker 1: do you have to sell your house and they have
Speaker 1: to get a bank loan. No, it's a big it's
Speaker 1: a big deal. US divorce rate HiT's a fifty year low, Chris.
Speaker 1: For every one thousand marriages in the last year, only
Speaker 1: fourteen point nine ended in divorce. You know why, because
Speaker 1: no one could afford to divorce right now because of
Speaker 1: these idiotic lockdowns. I'm serious, people, Lots of times people
Speaker 1: will get divorced, and I'm not judging you if you've
Speaker 1: gone through it or whatnot. God love you. Lots of
Speaker 1: times people will get divorced because they're doing fine and
Speaker 1: it's just easier to not live with this dirt ball anymore.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you about the buddy of mine who
Speaker 1: was killing eight hundred pound hogs? No, his friend, not
Speaker 1: my buddy. My buddy's friend was killing He goes hog hunting.
Speaker 1: Get this with a knife. I know. Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard of such a psychopath in your life? I mean,
Speaker 1: it has to be the biggest adrenaline rush ever. I
Speaker 1: need to clearify for people who don't realize that these
Speaker 1: hogs have gigantic tusks on them and they're very very
Speaker 1: strong and very very mean, and apparently he just straight
Speaker 1: up traps them like Rambo in First Blood and just
Speaker 1: jumps on top of him and stabs them to death
Speaker 1: with a knife. That is sweet. I don't I kind
Speaker 1: of want to do it. Should I do it? I've
Speaker 1: been hogging before. Quit Chris hang On. An auto protection
Speaker 1: plan is one of those things you don't really think
Speaker 1: about until you've been hosed by not having one. And
Speaker 1: I always have one. Now I have a car shield
Speaker 1: platinum plan. I'll tell you right now I do. But
Speaker 1: I never had an auto protection plan until my vehicle
Speaker 1: went could put and it cost me a fortune out
Speaker 1: of my pocket to fix it. We're talking empty the
Speaker 1: vacation fund fortune. I'm never getting caught with my pants
Speaker 1: down like that again. You're gonna try to put this
Speaker 1: off and put this off. I don't feel like buying
Speaker 1: a plan. I'll do that next month. You know what,
Speaker 1: Car troubles happen all the time, and it's the holiday season.
Speaker 1: More people out on the road, more distracted drivers. Go

Speaker 1: I've had ten thousand emails this week about various subjects,
Speaker 1: and none of them have created the absolute vitriol that
Speaker 1: the cupcake segment has. We've got advice, We've got hatred
Speaker 1: from cupcake lovers, we have agreement from cupcake haters. It's
Speaker 1: time to bring on the resident chef, chef Andrew Gruel
Speaker 1: on our show. He's an owner of a slap fish,
Speaker 1: he's a chef, he's been a judge on Food Network. Chef.
Speaker 1: I say the cupcake flavor is fine. It's the ratio
Speaker 1: that's the problem. If there's no way to eat the food,
Speaker 1: to have the appropriate amount of icing and cake with
Speaker 1: each bite, then don't tell me it's good because it's not.
Speaker 1: You know what, I've got bad news because I'm in
Speaker 1: agreement with you on this. Okay, how do we improve
Speaker 1: of it? All? Right? Well, first of all, any food
Speaker 1: that you have to undress to eat it is already
Speaker 1: against you know, kind of against the odds if you will.
Speaker 1: So number one, you got to increase the cake ratio
Speaker 1: first and foremost, and then get that those dainty little
Speaker 1: underpants off the cupcake. Why do I need such a
Speaker 1: long Why Why does the cake itself have to be
Speaker 1: so thick? Why can't I reduce instead of increase everything,
Speaker 1: reduce the icing, to reduce the cake, just make the
Speaker 1: whole thing thinner. I can't open my mouth that wide. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean you could. You could also make it flatter, right,
Speaker 1: you can do it. I'll a black and white cookie
Speaker 1: and have like a flattened cupcake that somebody sat down on.
Speaker 1: But in general, the ratio of the cupcake in the
Speaker 1: institution of cupcakes is way way off. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we get any smaller than we're just talking munchkins, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't want a munchkin. I'm not pushing for munchkins.
Speaker 1: I just and I understand the new cupcake thing. Everybody
Speaker 1: has ten thousand specialty cupcake shops around. Is there basically
Speaker 1: the size of full blown cakes now and the icing
Speaker 1: is ten feet thick and it's all going the wrong direction.
Speaker 1: That's my concern. Chef, it's the direction that's going. Yeah
Speaker 1: it is, and you're right. We always got to look
Speaker 1: at the trajectory right where is it trending. And it's
Speaker 1: trending from a cupcake to a bowl cake right into
Speaker 1: some sort of a bunk cake. I'm with you on that,
Speaker 1: uh you know. And that's where I'm going to continue
Speaker 1: promoting the idea of flattening the cake. We've got to
Speaker 1: go from vertical to horizontal. And I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know anything against shorter people here,
Speaker 1: but that's really what it comes down to. Chef, I
Speaker 1: need you to walk me through this as somebody who
Speaker 1: runs restaurants. What is exactly the process between order comes in,
Speaker 1: order leaves the restaurant. I'm talking about some kind of
Speaker 1: to go order, some kind of order delivery. I went
Speaker 1: through this last night. I'm not going to break down
Speaker 1: the whole story. I ordered tacos. I order my tacos
Speaker 1: specifically with Chipotle Ranch, not the Poblano Ranch. My receipt
Speaker 1: even shows up it as Chipotle Ranch on there, and
Speaker 1: someone at the restaurant took the time to underline Chipotle
Speaker 1: Ranch on the receipt. I opened up the bag I'm
Speaker 1: staring at Poblano Ranch. Is this there's not a priority
Speaker 1: place on condiments. Thing is this, Employees are idiots, thing
Speaker 1: bad training. How does this happen all the time? I'll
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you the one percent correct answer.
Speaker 1: It's moved when the restaurants have started to digitize their kitchens,
Speaker 1: thinking that's what's the cool thing to do because everything
Speaker 1: has to be digital now they got rid of paper
Speaker 1: tickets and kitchens. Right, paper tickets are the most important
Speaker 1: thing because it's candidabal right, we read it, we look
Speaker 1: at it, we learned, we computed in our minds when
Speaker 1: we're just flashing back and forth between a screen. So
Speaker 1: in the absence of paper tickets, that's where modifications get lost.
Speaker 1: All of my kitchens have paper tickets. Still, we've got
Speaker 1: a guy scratching everything off tech. I'm going to start
Speaker 1: putting scratchers in there. But that's how we decrease our modifications.
Speaker 1: I never would have thought of it that way. It
Speaker 1: would make sense to me. If it's computerized, it's it's
Speaker 1: right there, black and right. It's nobody's bad handwriting. I
Speaker 1: would think that would make it easier to get it right. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, people don't read it all the way through,
Speaker 1: so and when they hold the ticket and touch the ticket,
Speaker 1: it compute in an entirely different manner. Plus there's some
Speaker 1: sort of an exposystem where he's got a double check
Speaker 1: on all those modifications. Once again, like I said, cutting
Speaker 1: labor because the coronavirus digitizing everything, trying to save those
Speaker 1: rolls of paper are only like thirteen cents, and every
Speaker 1: restaurant thinks they're brilliant by trying to save thirteen cents. Chef.
Speaker 1: I don't like doing you know, I don't like doing
Speaker 1: things like saying this is the first time in history,
Speaker 1: or everything is changed and things like that. I don't
Speaker 1: like doing that. Have things change forever for the restaurant
Speaker 1: industry with this coronavirus stuff. I thought it would be temporary,
Speaker 1: and now I look around it has it completely changed
Speaker 1: your industry? You know? Yeah? And I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that this is like an absolute, but
Speaker 1: there's a certain like in the excitement within the restaurant industry.
Speaker 1: It's almost like now we're just you know, kind of slopping, plopping,
Speaker 1: and everyone's unexcited. You know, Plexiglass everywhere constantly wondering if
Speaker 1: somebody's going to pass out online. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: it's changed the energy in the spirit and in terms
Speaker 1: of the mechanics of how restaurants operate. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're starting to see now everybody's trying to cut back
Speaker 1: to keep their restaurants open, right, hospitality hotels, And I
Speaker 1: think when things go back to normal, they're gonna say, well, heck,
Speaker 1: we've saved money doing this, let's not go back to
Speaker 1: the way that it was. Chef How difficult is it
Speaker 1: when it comes to insurance and liability of owning a restaurant.
Speaker 1: I think about this a lot. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: the quality controls are there, especially for good restaurants, but
Speaker 1: you really can't know if that piece of shrimp is
Speaker 1: going to give someone food poisoning, if if a pnut
Speaker 1: got too close to somebody with a pnut allergy. You can't.
Speaker 1: You can't do that stuff all the way all the time,
Speaker 1: can you. Your insurance costs must be through the roof, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and there isn't even insurance that will cover that,
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, that's kind of could
Speaker 1: kill your brand altogether. So outside of the liability, of
Speaker 1: having somebody go to the hospital. You can get that covered,
Speaker 1: but you know, you get a food poison and scared.
Speaker 1: Look at what happened with Chipotle. Chipotle now is synonymous
Speaker 1: with like laxatives, and it's it's what it does to
Speaker 1: the brand. The problem for me with seafood is, let's
Speaker 1: say you eat breakfast, you know, for lunch you have
Speaker 1: a burger, and then for dinner you've got a seafood plate,
Speaker 1: and you go home and you get sick. You're automatically
Speaker 1: going to think it's the seafood when most likely it
Speaker 1: was something hours before that. So people always kind of
Speaker 1: put us in their crosshairs and we're constantly trying to
Speaker 1: combat that. So yeah, I mean it's difficult chef. The
Speaker 1: restaurant industry itself. Do you think it gets better from this?
Speaker 1: Because I can see a lot of industries out there
Speaker 1: that are going to get worse because I think personal
Speaker 1: interaction is such an important part of it, and I
Speaker 1: think some are actually going to improve. It'll force people
Speaker 1: to rethink things and streamline and smart people will stay
Speaker 1: in business and people who don't adapt won't house yours.
Speaker 1: Look ten years so now, twenty years from now, It
Speaker 1: all depends on how the next twelve months to play out.
Speaker 1: And I don't say that to try and sound, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of doomsday ish or you know, hyperbolic. But if
Speaker 1: we continue to let the small independent restaurants fail, corporate
Speaker 1: restaurants are going to take over. There's going to be
Speaker 1: a corporate landscape of restaurants that range from the third
Speaker 1: party DoorDash ghost kitchen types right which all those are
Speaker 1: big cheesecake factories just creating subsidiary brands across to you know,
Speaker 1: kind of the Applebees and McDonald's across the board, which hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not putting those down, but we're going
Speaker 1: to lose the flavor of independent restaurants because independents just
Speaker 1: can't operate right now with all these lockdowns and all
Speaker 1: of the restrictions that are in place. They're dropping one
Speaker 1: after another. I mean, seventy five independent restaurants are going under.
Speaker 1: So it all depends on what happens over the next
Speaker 1: twelve months, because I think that so many people are
Speaker 1: on the edge and we really need to figure out
Speaker 1: where they're going to find their way back in. What
Speaker 1: do you look for as far as cutting costs in
Speaker 1: a restaurant because every everybody wants good food, right, Everyone
Speaker 1: wants fresh food, everyone wants great service, everyone wants this,
Speaker 1: everyone wants that, but nobody wants to pay premium prices
Speaker 1: for food. On top of all that. Okay, good staff
Speaker 1: costs money, fresh food costs money. All these things costs money.
Speaker 1: Where do you cut when you're trying to save You
Speaker 1: still got to run a business. Yep, that's a great question.
Speaker 1: So for me, I always cut the skews right, the
Speaker 1: independent items on the menu. And you saw McDonald's do that.
Speaker 1: They went from doing all day breakfast down to just
Speaker 1: breakfast during that limited timeframe, and actually that dave their
Speaker 1: franchise these two to three percent. I think when you deet,
Speaker 1: when you're starting to get nervous about it, you got
Speaker 1: to cut the size of the menu. And I know
Speaker 1: that ticks some people off, but and then you just
Speaker 1: constantly rotate the smaller menu that you have. That's what
Speaker 1: we do. So it's about, hey, look we've got X supply,
Speaker 1: it's fresh, it's in demand. When we're out, we're out.
Speaker 1: Highly commend you follow the guy on social media. Dude

Speaker 1: like Donald Trump is going to be going out quietly.
Speaker 1: This is from Daily Caller. Trump performs near total decapitation
Speaker 1: of Pentagon leadership. As speculations swirls around Afghanistan, President Trump
Speaker 1: perform decapitation of civilian leadership within the Department of Defense.
Speaker 1: This week was speculation flying that officials disagreed with plans
Speaker 1: for a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump fired Defense Secretary
Speaker 1: Mark esper Asperst Chief of Staff, top Pentagon policy official
Speaker 1: Mark Toomb and other senior officials this week. I'm going
Speaker 1: to say something. It's going to sound a little mean.
Speaker 1: Where was this four years ago? You and I wanted
Speaker 1: Trump to be certain things, and he was, as I've
Speaker 1: said several times, accomplishment wise. The dude was an outstanding president.
Speaker 1: But all that you're fired, tough guy stuff. Where was
Speaker 1: this four years ago? Do you know what's amazing is
Speaker 1: how little descent Barack Obama had during his eight years
Speaker 1: as president. I'm talking about descent from his officials, descent
Speaker 1: from his generals, from within the house. And it's not complicated.
Speaker 1: Do you know why there was so little descent Because
Speaker 1: Barack Obama would fire you the second he sniffed any
Speaker 1: kind of disagreement with what he was doing. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: let these people hang around owned for four years, four
Speaker 1: years of constantly cycling through people who are actively working
Speaker 1: against you. Yeah, I'm thrilled they're gone. Now. My calendar
Speaker 1: on my watch says it's November twelfth, twenty twenty. What
Speaker 1: in the world took so long? Christopher Ray is still
Speaker 1: the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. How is
Speaker 1: that humanly possible? Reports are out there now. Gina Haspell,
Speaker 1: director of the CIA, she's blocking some of the Trump
Speaker 1: attempts to release certain information. Wait what, let me tell
Speaker 1: you how this goes in a sane world. I'm president,
Speaker 1: You're the CIA director. Hey, Gina Haspell release this information.
Speaker 1: Gina goes, well, I'm actually Gina, You're fired. That's how
Speaker 1: that goes. Who's next? Is the next guy? Unsure? Oh
Speaker 1: you are sure? Good deal? You're CIA director. Now do
Speaker 1: what I say when I say it, or you're fired.
Speaker 1: Now that's how Barack Obama did it for eight years.
Speaker 1: He got a whiff of dissent, you were gone, goodbye. Instead,
Speaker 1: we've left these people from within the House undermine Trump's presidency.
Speaker 1: This entire time so unbelievable. Chris was asking earlier, I
Speaker 1: guess I shouldn't I guess I shouldn't gloss over these
Speaker 1: questions he asked earlier, when I was talking about being
Speaker 1: in mortars, he asked what the difference was. Mortars are small.
Speaker 1: That's what you need to know. Mots, mortars are. There
Speaker 1: can be bigger ones, but mortars are a handheld tube.
Speaker 1: Chris hanhell two. Artillery is huge, but mortars are really
Speaker 1: a form of artillery. But when you say artillery, you're
Speaker 1: talking about bigger guns all the time. Remember tomorrow, it's
