Really for both sides, 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: both parties will do that. I am going to get 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: to some emails. There's all kinds of stuff I have 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: to get to. But you know what time it is. 12 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: It is Monday, start of the second hour on Monday. 13 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: And that means we honor a hero, we say his name, 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: we remember it for many. Maybe this is you. Maybe 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: this will be the first time you ever heard this thing. 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: Maybe this will be the first and only time you 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: ever heard about these deeds. When people go out and 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: earn a medal of honor, they write up what he did, 19 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: They write it up and everyone can read these and 20 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: I would encourage you to do so with family, at work, 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: in school, that if you're one of the wonderful teachers 22 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: who listens. Your students will eat this stuff up. Stop 23 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: political and research these things. But it is important to 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: remember our heroes and what they did, and it serves 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: to inspire future generations to become men like these. Now 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure you already guessed it, but being as how 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: it's the Marine Corps birthday, we are going to honor 28 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: a marine here. Before we get to him, I just 29 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: wanted to explain that this takes place on Okinawa. For 30 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: World War two history buffs some people who've ever listened 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: to this show for any length of time, you'll already 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: know a lot or most of this. But the war 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: in the Pacific against the Japanese Empire was so unspeakably terrible. 34 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: It was unspeakably terrible for really two main reasons, the 35 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: first one being the environment where they fought. It was. 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: You know, it sounds tropical and nice, but you know 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: it's nice about the tropics. When you're in an air 38 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: conditioned hotel and somebody bringing you chicken strips by the pool, 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: you know it's not lovely when people were trying to 40 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: kill you, and there's everything from yellow fever to malaria 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: to crocodiles that can kill you. The environment was brutal, 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: brutally hot, that it was a horrible, horrible place to fight. 43 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: And I said there were two reasons. The second reason 44 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: was the Japanese, the Japanese Empire of World War two. 45 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Better think it's lucky stars that Hitler and the Nazis 46 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: were busy doing unspeakable things all throughout Europe because the 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: Japanese Empire in World War Two was every bit as evil. 48 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: They just didn't get the public, the pub They were 49 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: a militaristic empire. They were all about torture and rape 50 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: and murder, and it was just what they did. It 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: was what they believed in. It was how they conducted 52 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: themselves during the war. And they also believed in dying 53 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: to the last man. They never ever ever surrendered in 54 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: mass It never happened. Oftentimes, when the Japanese would finally 55 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: lose an island, they would do so with ninety nine 56 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: percent casualties. You'd have a guy here or a guy there, 57 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: but they would all die. If they weren't killed in battle, 58 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: they'd kill themselves. They'd hold grenades to their head, they 59 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: would just it was awful in the Marines and the 60 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: army to give them credit. The army was very valiant 61 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: in the Pacific War. Fought their way from island to 62 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: island to island, and the idea was take enough islands, 63 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: working your way closer to Japan. You wanted to be 64 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: as close to Japan as possible so you could launch 65 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: more air raids into Japan, and so you would have 66 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: an appropriate staging area to finish off the invasion of Japan. 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: If God forbid, you had to invade the place which 68 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: brings us to Okinawa, after Ewo, Jima, after everything, really 69 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: the final stop pre Japan was Okinawa. The good news 70 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: is it's almost over. The bad news is the Japanese 71 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: knew it was almost over. This was there in their minds, 72 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: final chance to keep Americans from killing their families back home. 73 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: It's what they believed. They believed their families, their entire 74 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: nation was at stake, and they were going to fight 75 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: that way. And because this is nineteen forty five, they 76 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: had had an entire war against us to learn. It's 77 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: very easy to assume that you're the only side with brains, 78 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: You're the only side that learns you're just facing a 79 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: static enemy. He's almost a robot, really, but he's not 80 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,239 Speaker 1: a robot. He learns what works and what doesn't work. 81 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: And what they learned was trying to stop America at 82 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: the beaches does not work. It never worked for them. 83 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: You're going to get some Americans on the beaches, but 84 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: you're not going to stop them from landing. It's not possible. 85 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: America had too many planes, too much naval gun power 86 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: that were just they could run you off the beaches 87 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: and they could land. But you can fight a defense 88 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: in depth. You find strategic defensive locations on the interior 89 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: of whatever island you're going to defend, and you turn 90 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: those into what amount to be underground fortresses, and there 91 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: you just kill Americans by the thousand. That was Okinawa, 92 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: a living hell like you cannot possibly imagine. And that 93 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: brings us to James Lewis. They born in East Saint Louis, Illinois. 94 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Hey honoring those who went above and beyond its Medal 95 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: of Honor Monday for conspicuous gallantry in intrepidity at the 96 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: risk of his life, above and beyond the call of 97 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: duty as squad leader in sustained combat operations against Japanese forces. 98 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: On the first day, Corporal day rallied his squad in 99 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: the remnants of another unit and led them to a 100 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: critical position forward of the lines of Sugar Loaf Hill. 101 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: Soon thereafter, they came under an intense mortar in artillery 102 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: barrage that was quickly followed by a ferocious ground attack 103 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: by some forty Japanese soldiers. Despite the loss of one 104 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: half of his men, Corporal Day remained at the forefront, 105 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: shouting encouragement, hurling grenades, and directing deadly fire, thereby repelling 106 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: the determined enemy. Reinforced by six men, he led his 107 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: squad in repelling three fierce night attacks, but suffered five 108 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: additional marines killed and one wounded, whom he assisted the safety. 109 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Upon hearing nearby calls for coorm and assistance, Corporal Day 110 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: braved enemy heavy enemy fire to escort four seriously wounded marines, 111 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: one at a time to safety. Corporal Day then manned 112 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: a light machine gun, assisted by a wounded marine, and 113 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: halted another night attack. In this ferocious action, his machine 114 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: gun was destroyed and he suffered multiple white phosphorus and 115 00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: fragmentation wounds. He reorganized his defensive position and tim to 116 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: halt a fifth enemy attack. With the devastated. With devastating 117 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: small arms fire. On three separate occasions, Japanese soldiers closed 118 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: to within a few feet of his foxhole, but were 119 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: killed by Corporal Day. During the second day, the enemy 120 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: conducted numerous unsuccessful swarming attacks against his exposed position. When 121 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: the attacks momentarily subsided, over seventy enemy dead were counted 122 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: around his position. On the third day, a wounded and 123 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: exhausted Corporal Day repulsed the final repulse the enemy's final attack, 124 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: killing a dozen enemy soldiers at close range. Having yielded 125 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: no ground and with more than anemy one hundred enemy 126 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: dead around his position, Corporal Day preserved the lives of 127 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: his fellow Marines and made a significant contribution to the 128 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: success of the Okinawa campaign. Corporal Day inspired the efforts 129 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: of his outnumbered marines to defeat a much larger enemy force, 130 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions 131 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: of the Marine Corps in the United States Naval Service. 132 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: Corporal Day thought he was going to die. He was 133 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: alone because every time he got help they would be killed. 134 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: He would roll the grenades down the hill. He didn't 135 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: want to shoot. Oftentimes, when he heard them coming at 136 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: him at night, he would roll the grenades down the 137 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: hills so as not to expose his exact location, listening 138 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: to the grenades blow up Japanese soldiers in front of him. 139 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: I just told you about the Japanese Empire. Corporal Day 140 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: was undoubtedly aware of what would happen should God forbid, 141 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: he be knocked out or wounded and the Japanese get 142 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: a hold of him alive. I will spare you the 143 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: details of what happened to marine after marine, soldier after 144 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: soldier in that unfortunate situation. But he would not have 145 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: died quickly. It would have been bad. And yet for 146 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: three days he sat up there murdering Japanese soldiers. That's amazing, 147 00:10:30,000 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: and you know what I think he deserves on this birthday. 148 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Marines, Happy birthday day, Happy birthday to all 149 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: of you. That is the kind of legacy left behind 150 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: by heroes greater than us. Speaking of heroes, you have 151 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: heard me discuss Macvsog in Vietnam multiple times, ridiculous bravery 152 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: over fifty percent dead casualty rates, the likes of which 153 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: really have never been seen, certainly the highest by a 154 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: mile in Vietnam. You didn't survive, You just didn't survive. 155 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: This is the guy who runs pure Talk, did two 156 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: tours with mac VSG. How could you have a company 157 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: that is so overwhelmingly patriotic? How's that possible? That's what 158 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: pure Talk is. It's patriotism. They hire Americans. No one 159 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: does that anymore. You know about them giving rescue dogs 160 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: to veterans with PTSD giving on American flags on Independence Day? 161 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Does Verizon do that?

It's not that your life, my life. 174 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: The things in this life. And so I got this email. 175 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: This is about the Trump shut or the Trump shut down, 176 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: the shutdown that is now coming to an end. Not 177 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: quite over yet, obviously, but coming to an end. And 178 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: here it is Jesse. The subject to this one is 179 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: where are my firings? Another empty threat slash promise from 180 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. I was promised mass firings because of 181 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: the shutdown. How many people have been fired? Three? I'm 182 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: disgusted by the lack of spine. Make them feel pain. 183 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Enough is enough? His name is Chris Okay. So I 184 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: also wanted large numbers of government employees fired. Yes, the 185 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: Trump administration said if you shut down the government, we 186 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: will fire large numbers of government employees. And no, that 187 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: did not happen. That's a very very fair criticism. But 188 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to use this email as an opportunity to 189 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: explain something because I'm actually about to insult a couple 190 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: things that have been proposed economically by the White House. 191 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: So I needed to get something out of the way first. 192 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: You know that I don't wave palm poms. I don't 193 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: do it. You know that I'm more than willing to 194 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: insult really everybody in the GOP, happy to do it, 195 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: and have yelled about Trump before me. He does something 196 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: I disagree with and I always will and if you 197 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: don't like it, you can pounce in That's that's what 198 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: I believe in. But here's what I know. I know 199 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: that the mass importation of foreigners is destroying this country. 200 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: It is winning elections for open communists. It is the reason. 201 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: It's not the only reason for so many problems that 202 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: affect your life, but it is a big reason for 203 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: so many problems that affect your life. If you could 204 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: snap your fingers and deport fifty million foreigners, all our 205 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: problems would not just appear, but all of our problems 206 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: would get better, significantly better overnight. They would. It is 207 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: It's one of those rare things that solves not everything, 208 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: but goes a long way to solving everything. Magic pills 209 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: are rare. You deport fifty million foreigners, housing gets affordable 210 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: like that. Imagine when you're not competing with fifty million foreigners, 211 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: healthcare affordable like that. What do you think happens to tuition? 212 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: What do you think happens to crime? Cleanliness? But what 213 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: do you think happens to the Democrat Party? If you 214 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: deport fifty million foreigners? It's almost I don't want to 215 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: oversell it, but it's almost this this magic bullet that 216 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: does everything. Okay, So what's that have to do with 217 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: the government firings and whatnot? The Trump administration. Maybe you 218 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: remember the final year of his first term. It was 219 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: very hard on Trump. Why because Donald Trump fifteen days 220 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: to slow the spread. Donald Trump allowed himself to be 221 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: manipulated by very evil people into destroying the economy that 222 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: was going well, and I was very angry about it. 223 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Vice versa. The Trump administration has gotten two million foreigners 224 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: out of the country in ten months. That's not twenty million. 225 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: I know it's not ten it's not the fifty we need. 226 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Tell me another administration that has done that. And it's 227 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: not just that they have gotten two million foreigners out, 228 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: one point five of those of self deportations, but still out. 229 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't care how you get out, just get out. 230 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: On top of that, they are obviously when you look 231 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: at the ice hirings, when you look at the various 232 00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: things they're doing, they are building a deportation machine will 233 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: make what's already happened into the warm up act. They're 234 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: warming up. They're learning what works, what doesn't works, what 235 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: personnel they need. We've already heard, remember we discussed this 236 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: on the show. A huge leadership shakeup at ICE in 237 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: major ICE hubs. The Trump administration was not happy with 238 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: the pace of things. They started firing people. And yet, 239 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: what do you think, what do you think they're doing 240 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: things like this for it? 241 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: Because you got over two hundred thousand applications in how 242 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 2: many of those are going to take and how quickly 243 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: can you get them on the street because you need 244 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: a lot of backup right now? 245 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it, We got it. Two hundred thousand applications. Now, 246 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: those people still have to be screened, still have to 247 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: be trained, so that'll take time too. I get that. 248 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: That was not me telling you that I am going 249 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: to sit here every day and wave Donald Trump's palm palms. 250 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: In fact, like I said, I'm just about to insult 251 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: a couple things that have come out of the White House. 252 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: I'll explain. However, as long as the Trump administration remains 253 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: committed to deporting as many foreigners in his four years 254 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: as possible, he is going to get more leeway from 255 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: me than otherwise than he would otherwise. I was probably 256 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: more critical of him in the first term than I 257 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: otherwise would have because of the COVID lockdowns while he's 258 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: deporting millions of foreigners. He's going to get more leeway 259 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: from me than ever before. That's not to say it's perfect. 260 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: It's not to say I didn't want to see fifty 261 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand a million government employees fired. I wanted 262 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: it too. We didn't get it. It sucks. I'll give 263 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: him some leeway, and except when it comes to fifty 264 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: year mortgages. Next, you're listening to the Oracle. You love 265 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: this one. It's a scream baby. The Jesse Kelly Show. 266 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic Monday. Member. 267 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: If you miss any part of the show, you can 268 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: email it Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So before 269 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: we get to those emails and the airports and all 270 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: kinds of things, Jimmy Kimmel, his wife leaving her family, 271 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: before we get to any of that other stuff, well, 272 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: I'll just read this something we've read before on the show. 273 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: I want to read it again. Fifteen million more adults 274 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: under the age of thirty five are living with their 275 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: parents compared to a decade ago. Per that's per Fortune magazine. 276 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: Fifteen million. Now I could sit here and I could 277 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: read stats like that for the next hour and a 278 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: half of the show. I could, because the stats are well, 279 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: they all point to the same thing. Middle class people 280 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: are being pushed down into the lower classes, and lower 281 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: class people flat out aren't making it. Younger people are 282 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: not finding younger Americans. I should say, if you're from Somalia, 283 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: you're good. But younger Americans are not finding jobs. They 284 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: are a graduating college, many of them in debt, and 285 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: they cannot find a good job to even go live 286 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: on their own, let alone start paying off the debt. 287 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: And all the statistics point to this fact. Younger people today, 288 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: they do not have the same opportunities older generations did. 289 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: America for younger people today is less affordable than their 290 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: parents had, than their grandparents had, than their great grandparents had. 291 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: That's just simply a fact. It is. Can't find a house, 292 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: can't find this now. This is a bad obviously a 293 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: terrible situation, and it's terrible for a laundry list of reasons. 294 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: One of those reasons may be, well, your life is 295 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: worse and you're you're finding goals you had unachievable. Well, 296 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: when I'm twenty eight years old, I want to own 297 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: a home and have a wife and a dozen kids, 298 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: and then okay, so I understand that, but it's also 299 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: terrible for this reason. When life becomes unaffordable, not just 300 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: houses either, car insurance, home insurance, just health assurance. When 301 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: life becomes unaffordable, what will inevitably happen is people inside 302 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: the government will promise to hand you money in one 303 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: way or another to make it better. They will. Now, 304 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: the history of this is not often well known. You 305 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: know it, but Normanis don't know it. Normis don't understand 306 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: how COVID and the massive printing of money caused all 307 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: the inflation that made life unaffordable. Normalis don't know that. 308 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Normanis don't understand how much more affordable health insurance was 309 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: before Obamacare. Normanies don't know that. You know what Normies know. 310 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: They can't afford it. Can't afford a house, can't afford 311 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: this feeling, the squeeze. And of course Democrats, who really 312 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: authored so many of these things, most definitely the healthcare one. 313 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are aware you can't afford it. That's why they 314 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: tried to make the whole shutdown thing about health insurance. Healthcare. 315 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer when he was whining about it. 316 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: Democrats have been fighting to get the Senate to address 317 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: the healthcare crisis. This bill does nothing to ensure that 318 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 3: that crisis is addressed. I am voting no, and I 319 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: will keep fighting. 320 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: Now. I need you to walk with me with something. 321 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: And this might be a painful walk, all right, it 322 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: might be, but just walk with me. We have the 323 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: midterm elections coming up in twenty twenty eight. We have 324 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: a big presidential election. If you had a handicap it 325 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: you'd say JD. Van's versus Gavin Newsom doesn't matter. Big 326 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: presidential election coming up. Now, I'm not talking about you, 327 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: nor am I concerned about you. You're going to be fine. 328 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: But you're enormy. You're one of these weird independents. You 329 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: voted for Obama and then Trump, and then Biden and 330 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: then Trump again. You're just kind of all over the place. 331 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: You're just a low info normy Democrats are out there 332 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: loudly campaigning on the cost of health insurance that stops 333 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: stops up. Don't start screaming at me and screaming at 334 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: the radio. But they're the ones who cast it with Obamacare. 335 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know, we're not talking about you. You're informed. 336 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking to low infos. Democrats are running on the 337 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: cost of health insurance. The cost we just had to 338 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: renew our health insurance here at iHeart. It's just unbelievable, 339 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: how crappy the insurance is now for what you have 340 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: to pay for, It's unbelievable, horrible. And Democrats their message 341 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: is you're paying too much for health insurance. You're paying 342 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: too much for health insurance. You're paying too much for 343 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: health insurance. Do you think that is going to have 344 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: a receptive audience. I'm not worried about you with the Normies. 345 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: Is that Is that message going to land well with Normies? 346 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: Of course it will. So here's where we end up 347 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: in a serious pickle. How do you answer that? What's 348 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: your political answer for that? If you don't want Democrats 349 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: to take the House, the Senate, and the White House 350 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, this is where Republicans will fall 351 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: into traps. They will fall into what I would probably 352 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: classify as a populist trap. They will We'll try to 353 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: hand out different stuff, try to control and manipulate the 354 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: market in different ways, not the same ways, so we 355 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: can claim superiority, but Trump over the weekend floated a 356 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars dividend from tariffs for normal Americans. Of course, 357 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: he even put in there excluding the wealthy, not including 358 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: high income people. What they've already attempted. Scott Pisent and 359 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: others attempted to try to walk it back. But don't 360 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: pay me two thousand dollars of my own money. This 361 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: is why you get things like Josh Holly, we played 362 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: it for you before. When he's talking about Amazon. 363 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 4: Their CEO is getting paid. Let me make sure I 364 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: get this right. In twenty twenty four, Amazon's president earned 365 00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 4: forty point one million dollars in total compensation forty point one. 366 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: The previous year he'd earned merely twenty nine point two. 367 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's an unbelievable that's great work. If 368 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: you can get it, that's an unbelievable raise. Only problem is, 369 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 4: according to their own financial disclosures, Amazon's average worker average 370 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 4: employee worldwide is making thirty seven thousand, one hundred and 371 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 4: eighty one dollars thirty seven thousand, one hundred and eighty 372 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 4: one dollars, So that's a c suite to employee ratio 373 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 4: of one thousand and seventy eight to one. 374 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: That kind of wealth envy crap is going to have 375 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: a receptive audience. But that's not the solution. Democrats don't 376 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: have good solutions. They're going to make everything worse. But 377 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: handing people more stimmy checks makes everything worse. Whining about 378 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: the pay of the CEO and Amazon just creates more 379 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: wealth envy and makes everything worse. Populism can be great 380 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: at times, and it can be completely disastrous at times. 381 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: Headline Trump administration considering fifty year mortgages. This is, of course, 382 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: to get the average monthly cost down. Do you have 383 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: any idea what you would pay for a two hundred 384 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: thousand dollars house in the end, after you got done 385 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: paying off a fifty year mortgage. I won't, even in 386 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: the interest of making sure a Jewish producer Chris doesn't 387 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: stroke out on the air, I'm not going to elaborate 388 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: on what you would pay, but it would be you 389 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: don't want to know. I'll just put it to you 390 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: that way, you don't want to know. These aren't solutions. 391 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: These are temporary government throwing the starving peasants a loaf 392 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: of bread solutions. They don't tackle the fundamental problem until 393 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: government spending and money printing as is addressed, these problems consist. They'll, they'll, 394 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: they'll go on forever. Now again, I hate to beat 395 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: a dead horse, but deporting fifty million foreigners will. She'll 396 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: sure go a long way to solving a lot of this, 397 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: including health insurance. When you don't have to keep paying 398 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: for the health insurance of illegals who flood the emergency room, 399 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: that will certainly help, But that's another story entirely. Until then, 400 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: you might want to grab yourself a Berna launcher to 401 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: make sure you can at least fight one off when 402 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: he tries to stab you in the parking lot. Berna 403 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: is the self defense solution for everyone. If you are 404 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: like me and you already know I concealed carry, I 405 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: want a non lethal option. I don't want to kill 406 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: the homeless guy who's pooping on the hood of my 407 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: car when I leave the studio at night. You maybe 408 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: don't have a concealed carry option. Berna is legal for 409 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: everybody shoots these pepper balls or tear gas. Did you 410 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: know this? You knew something crazy? You know you don't 411 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: even necessarily have to hit him with it. Been situations 412 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: where you can just shoot the ground in front of them, 413 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: and this pepper ball cloud just freaking destroys them. They live, 414 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: You live more importantly and you don't get arrested. B 415 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: y Rna Berna dot com slash Jesse Berner dot com 416 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: slash Jesse. We'll be back, miss something. There's a podcast 417 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: getting on demand wherever podcasts are found, The Jesse Kelly Show. 418 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Monday. 419 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: You can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 420 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm just in such a good mood today, I can't 421 00:29:49,080 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: imagine what it is. Ah, that's probably it, don't you think, Chris, 422 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: It's probably it. Be safe out there tonight, Marines, all right? 423 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: And in fact, I hate to even do this because 424 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I don't want to be the 425 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: fun police. And I certainly am not one who's ever, ever, 426 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: ever going to judge you for any mistakes you make, 427 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: anyones you've made in the past, anyonees you're going to 428 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: make tonight, Marines. I'm not going to judge you. I 429 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: am just going to offer a little bit of advice 430 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: from time to time about this or that. You can 431 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: take it, you can leave it. But I saw this 432 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: started when I want to, I wanted to address it. 433 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: It's from the New York Posts. Kind of a weird 434 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: thing to even write, but I got it. The best 435 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:15,479 Speaker 1: and worst airports for getting tipsy during travel are revealed. Okay, 436 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: this is the New York Post telling you where to 437 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: get hammered which airport? Now let's talk. And again, this 438 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: is a note. This is a judgment for his zone. 439 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm the guy. I'm the guy who used to sit 440 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: in the dark when I got back from Iraq with 441 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: the blinds closed and the lights out, getting drunk by 442 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: myself in the living room, sitting in a chair in 443 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: the middle of the living room. I'm the guy who 444 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: used to get road beers on the way home. I'm 445 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: not judging you at all, not at all. I'm this 446 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: is just an assessment of what is worth it and 447 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: what is not. Let me ask you something. If you 448 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: have a history of boozing it up, how many what 449 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: percentage would you put on it? What percentage of the 450 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: time is it worth it? And by the way, I'm 451 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: not gonna say again, I'm not fun policing. I'm not 452 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna say it's never worth it. You're at a concert, 453 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: you're having an extra glass of wine with your wife. 454 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's never been fun. Not what 455 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Would you at least agree with me that, 456 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: especially as you get older, those percentages go down. The 457 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: juice may be not worth the squeeze. You with me? Still, Okay, 458 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: you know what that percentage falls to when you are 459 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: traveling by air zero the percentage falls to zero. I 460 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: do not understand this concept. This is a concept I 461 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: actually rejected back in my boozing days when I was 462 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: super young. I came to this realization. Okay, so you're 463 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: gonna go into the airport bar, Applebee's or Chili's or something. 464 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: You're going to crush ten beers at Chili's before you 465 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: get on a flight to Chicago. Now that you're all 466 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: lubed up from ten beers at Chili's, what are things 467 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: you would normally do? Let's say you were at the house. 468 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: I will tell you what I will be doing tonight 469 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: when I get home. I'm gonna watch a Marine Corps 470 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: documentary about Pelulu. Someone just told me there's one on Netflix. 471 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm watching it tonight. That might be something you do 472 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: after ten beers. Maybe you call up a friend. Hey, 473 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: come watch baseball? Baseball seasons ever? Come watch football tonight? 474 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: It's Monday night football. I know that. Hey, that might 475 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: be something you do. Maybe you turn on music, play 476 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: video games, maybe you text an X bad idea. There 477 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: are a variety of things you can do at home. 478 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: None of those options are available to you when you're traveling. 479 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: You're going to get on an airplane in a gigantic 480 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: steel tube with annoying, smelly strangers. What are you planning 481 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: on doing? Are you going to keep drinking? I've had 482 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: people yell at me, well just keep drinking. Okay, So 483 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: you're what You're going to pass out and vomit on 484 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: the fight that's the plane? Oh no, no, I'll stop. Okay. 485 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: So on top of flying being super miserable, you're going 486 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: to add a midflight hangover in there. You know what 487 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: those ten beers need to do. They have to come out. 488 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: Have you used the bathroom in an airplane before? Have 489 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: you gone? Do you feel like going ten times in there? 490 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't understand the appeal. Oh oh, and then when 491 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: you get where you're going, what's waiting for you? Are 492 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: you walking right off the airplane and into your living room. No, 493 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: maybe you're one of these savages who checks a bag. 494 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I refuse to do such a thing. 495 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: The Kellys don't check bags. Now we've made a commitment. 496 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: Let's say let's say you're at least me and you 497 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: don't check a bag. I live an hour from the airport. 498 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: Now my hangover is getting worse and worse. I'm more 499 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: and more exhausted. Now, even if I'm not waiting baggage 500 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: claim for a bag, I'm getting in a car and 501 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride drive an hour? Am I even okay 502 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: to drive? That's unsafe. Let's say I'm getting a cab 503 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: or an uber. Let's at least say I'm being responsible. 504 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: I have to sit in the back and listen to 505 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 1: Mohammed for an hour as you drive? What, Chris? What 506 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: am I wrong? Am I wrong? 507 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 3: Oh? 508 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: Come on? Everybody knows who runs the freaking uber companies 509 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: and cab companies. For Pete's sake, you might as well 510 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: get in with the prayer rug. Everybody knows what I'm 511 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: talking about. Chris. It's fine anyway. I now have to 512 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: ride for an hour. There are weird smells. It it's 513 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: not worth it. I'm not trying to judge. Like I said, 514 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this. I'm not trying 515 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: to fund police. And you want to belly up to 516 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: the bar and have a martini shaking notts third, I 517 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: think that's totally acceptable, if you're gonna make that three five. 518 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't see how it's worth it. Chris, 519 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 1: am I wrong? Chris isn't something Even Chris agrees, he's 520 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: not some puritan. Chris will have some booze every now 521 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: and then. Corey am I wrong. Cory gets it. It's 522 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: not worth it. I don't understand the air travel, the 523 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: fascination with air travel and boozing. Maybe it's because I'm 524 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: a loner. Maybe it's because I'm a homebody. Maybe what Chris? What? What? Herees? 525 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: Everyone agrees. Now, let's discuss something, because there's this way 526 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: of thinking on the left that you're uninformed. Hang on,
