Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Friday,
Speaker 1: A magnificent Friday. I am backing in the chair. I
Speaker 1: missed you dearly and I'm thrilled to be here on
Speaker 1: an ask doctor Jesse Friday. I hope you survived today
Speaker 1: without me. I was at the Megan Kelly Tours speaking
Speaker 1: thing last night. I'll talk about that in a little while,
Speaker 1: but for now, you know what time it is. We
Speaker 1: have so many questions. We're gonna talk about this White
Speaker 1: House remodel that they're trying to make a thing of
Speaker 1: right off the bet I'll talk about that briefly. A
Speaker 1: color revolution? What is it? Are we living through one
Speaker 1: right now? These totalitarian regimes? Are they better at making things?
Speaker 1: I'll talk briefly about the Mafia story, the mafia, NBA
Speaker 1: rigging things? And billionaires? Do we have? I have too many?
Speaker 1: Is it unfair? All that? So much more coming up
Speaker 1: tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show. So let's
Speaker 1: begin here. Your questions were amazing. It's awesome. But I
Speaker 1: know you've heard on the television. I know you've seen
Speaker 1: it on social media, people making a big deal about
Speaker 1: Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House complex
Speaker 1: and building a ballroom. I have this email, Jesse, I
Speaker 1: have many like this. Jesse. Is the left upset at
Speaker 1: Trump for remodeling the the White House without their input,
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Okay, so first of all,
Speaker 1: I guess I will tell you a little something about
Speaker 1: last night, because it just makes sense to tell you
Speaker 1: about it right now. Something kind of cool. After the event,
Speaker 1: you know, it was Megan Kelly, it was me. It
Speaker 1: was Don Junior speaking at the event. After the event,
Speaker 1: Megan sat out the word to us too, and she said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's get together afterwards. Let's eat some cheese and crackers,
Speaker 1: break some bread for an hour to just talk talk
Speaker 1: about life. So it's just Megan, her husband, Don, his woman,
Speaker 1: me and ib And that was it. It was just
Speaker 1: us six and we get together at this place and
Speaker 1: Don Junior starts actually talking about this White House ballroom thing.
Speaker 1: He actually starts talking about his father, Donald Trump, the
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. Now, maybe you're
Speaker 1: a Trump hater or lover. I don't care, None of
Speaker 1: that matters, but it was fascinating to listen to this.
Speaker 1: This aspect of it something you may realize but may
Speaker 1: not Trump. He gets a bunch of his grandkids with
Speaker 1: Don Junior, and they go on this big overseas flight.
Speaker 1: I forget which one it was. He's done so many
Speaker 1: where he was closing a trade deal and signing a
Speaker 1: big agreement and whatever. But the grandkids came along. It
Speaker 1: was a grueling day, grueling day. Many of these grandkids
Speaker 1: are young. They get back from this thing after eight
Speaker 1: nine hours of travel and as you can imagine, they're kids,
Speaker 1: they're not involved in politics. It's exhausting. They're done. They
Speaker 1: want to go home, they want to go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Grandpa Donald Trump, says no, no, no, no, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, you gotta come with me. I have something
Speaker 1: so cool I want to show you. He brings them
Speaker 1: all to the White House, brings them in the Oval Office,
Speaker 1: and he starts to show them every little portrait or
Speaker 1: trinket or thing like that that's in the Oval Office,
Speaker 1: discussing with these very bored grandkids who are not into it,
Speaker 1: discussing the intricacy of it, the history of it. Did
Speaker 1: you know that Andrew Jackson did this? Did you know
Speaker 1: that this is part of what the Reagan Deal? Did
Speaker 1: you know this was cool? What he knows everything about
Speaker 1: every part of it, is so interesting, has such as
Speaker 1: for all of it, and he's so geeking out on it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't care that the grand kids are cash and
Speaker 1: they just want to go home and put their pajamas on. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you sit there. This is super cool. Trust me, you're
Speaker 1: gonna think it's cool. And of course they don't. You know,
Speaker 1: they're tired. But no, no, no, you have to hear.
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear where this uh, this bust
Speaker 1: came from. Donald Trump has a deep reverence for the
Speaker 1: Office of the Presidency, for the White House itself, and
Speaker 1: for the United States of America itself. Whatever problems you
Speaker 1: may have from time to time with the man, or
Speaker 1: I may have from time to time with the man,
Speaker 1: he has a deep, deep reverence for this place. And
Speaker 1: this is long before he got into politics. There's all
Speaker 1: kinds of video. You can hear the way he talks
Speaker 1: about America. For him, and for me and probably for you,
Speaker 1: America is special. It is It is unique. It is special,
Speaker 1: and it should look special. It should be special. It
Speaker 1: should be something where people look at it, every aspect
Speaker 1: of it, and they should say whoa right now? What's
Speaker 1: a huge story across the country, National Guard, ice, FBI,
Speaker 1: all these different federal groups going into different cities. Filthy
Speaker 1: crime in cities. It's a big story. Do you want
Speaker 1: to know part of why Donald Trump is doing this? Yes,
Speaker 1: big part of it's about illegal immigration and drugs, things
Speaker 1: like that. Donald Trump is mortified, embarrassed that are cities
Speaker 1: which should be shining wonderful examples of America, that our
Speaker 1: cities are disgusting. He thinks it's horrid. He's as an
Speaker 1: American and you and I've talked about this before. Cities
Speaker 1: are on the billboard of your country. You know, as
Speaker 1: much as I love Bozeman, Montana, where I grew up,
Speaker 1: you know what's not on the billboard from for the
Speaker 1: United States of America, in Germany somewhere. It's not Bozeman.
Speaker 1: It's New York City. He's mortified. Billboards are gross, they smell,
Speaker 1: They're full of violence, in illegals and drugs and scum. Mortified,
Speaker 1: and he's trying to do what he can to fix it.
Speaker 1: So the White House Ballroom we host people, we host
Speaker 1: dignitaries from all over the world. You've seen them, You've
Speaker 1: seen it on the news. People, the Kings, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who it is. From across the world. They will come,
Speaker 1: most of them, and in some way, at some point
Speaker 1: in time, they will show up and they will pay
Speaker 1: homage to the United States of America. They will meet
Speaker 1: the American president President, they will sit in the Oval Office,
Speaker 1: be able to work out a deal. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: a photo op, but they will come. We can't have
Speaker 1: a nice ballroom. Let me clarify, we don't even have
Speaker 1: a nice ballroom to put on events. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the kind of ballroom you see in the movies. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever been in one, but you
Speaker 1: see them in the movies, the kind of ballroom where
Speaker 1: you walk in and you go, oh my gosh, is
Speaker 1: that real gold on the ceiling. We don't even have that.
Speaker 1: And we're the United States of America. So what's he doing.
Speaker 1: He is privately funding, I should point out, no matter
Speaker 1: how much they lie to you, he is privately funding.
Speaker 1: He got private people to fund it, privately funding a
Speaker 1: ballroom that holds Get this, I found this out last night.
Speaker 1: Six thousand people seating for six thousand people. I can't
Speaker 1: even imagine what a ballroom that size would look like.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been in anything or even
Speaker 1: seen anything like that. It's going to be huge, gorgeous
Speaker 1: and for years and years and years when Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is dead and gone, when I'm dead and gone for decades,
Speaker 1: four indignitaries will show up for big events held on
Speaker 1: the White House grounds and they will walk in and go, wow,
Speaker 1: this is really cool. Now. To answer your question, why
Speaker 1: are the communists so upset by it? There are two reasons.
Speaker 1: The first, they have to react that way to everything
Speaker 1: Trump does. Remember, Donald Trump has been turned into the
Speaker 1: Nazi anti Christ in their mind. If Donald Trump scooped
Speaker 1: a sick, dying puppy off the highway and brought it
Speaker 1: back and personally nursed it to health, they would find
Speaker 1: a way to say that it's the worst thing in
Speaker 1: the history of the world. That's part of it. But
Speaker 1: another part of it is this, what do we discussed
Speaker 1: when we discuss the religion of communism? What kind of
Speaker 1: religion is it? What is it? A religion of what destruction?
Speaker 1: They're destroyers. It's about destroying everything good. Some things are
Speaker 1: the American family must be destroyed. Sometimes it's a beautiful
Speaker 1: statue must be destroyed. Maybe it's a beautiful business it
Speaker 1: must be destroyed. Maybe it's simple beauty, individual individual beauty.
Speaker 1: That's why they'll take your beautiful eighteen year old daughter,
Speaker 1: you send her off to college, and they'll tell her
Speaker 1: to gain two hundred pounds and shave half her head
Speaker 1: and get a bunch of rings in her face. It's
Speaker 1: about destroying everything good. So now think like think like
Speaker 1: a communist for a brief moment. Then we're going to
Speaker 1: move on. There's too many good questions. Think like a communist.
Speaker 1: You're a communist. You're trying to destroy everything wonderful, beautiful
Speaker 1: and good, certainly everything in America. And you find out
Speaker 1: there's going to be a six thousand person gilded ballroom
Speaker 1: that people will enjoy for decades. Does that make you happy?
Speaker 1: But does that make you angry? What if the eighteen
Speaker 1: year old daughter of yours that they managed to pack
Speaker 1: on the pounds and get her to dyre hair purple?
Speaker 1: What if she got fit again, happy, got a boyfriend,
Speaker 1: she smiled a lot, Now she's going to church. You
Speaker 1: think that would make communists happy or that would make
Speaker 1: them sad. That's how they feel about the prospect of
Speaker 1: a beautiful ballroom people will enjoy forever. It is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent, magnificent Friday. So happy
Speaker 1: to be back here. Remember you can email a show,
Speaker 1: of course, Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com if you're
Speaker 1: just now tuning in. Fridays are a little different on
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. I mean, I guess it's fairly
Speaker 1: similar to the rest of the week, but Fridays all
Speaker 1: three hours. I answer the questions you email into Jesse
Speaker 1: at Jesse kellyshow dot com. It's not lame and pathetic
Speaker 1: like a lot of that grab bag stuff is. We
Speaker 1: make sure we try to do a good job for
Speaker 1: you as best we can here on the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: Now that was the White House ballroom kerfuffle stuff they're doing.
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on this before I go to Color Revolutions.
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on this story because I was
Speaker 1: gone yesterday. I'm not going to go into detail hills
Speaker 1: of it, but the Mafia Professional Sports NBA story. This
Speaker 1: guy says Jesse. Now that we know the Mafia has
Speaker 1: been involved in rigging card games, might this explain how
Speaker 1: Governor Pritzker won one point four million dollars. Okay, so
Speaker 1: first let's address Governor Pritzker of Illinois. You know who
Speaker 1: he is. Obviously, you've seen his big, fat, dumb face
Speaker 1: all over the television set, lying every single chance he
Speaker 1: gets about how bad crime is in Illinois and Chicago.
Speaker 2: Governor pritze why does Chicago have the highest murder rate
Speaker 2: of all the big cities.
Speaker 3: Well, we are not in the top thirty in terms
Speaker 3: of our murder rate and rate. Our murder rate has
Speaker 3: been cut in half over the last four years, and
Speaker 3: every year it's gone down by double digits. And if
Speaker 3: you look at all of the violent crime over the
Speaker 3: last four years, we've all gone to US cities seventeen
Speaker 3: point forty seven per one hundred thousand population.
Speaker 1: Chicago's number one over Philip Yeah. Anyway, you also probably
Speaker 1: know by now that he wants to be president of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. That is a big reason
Speaker 1: why you have seen Governor Pritzker's fat, stupid face on
Speaker 1: the television way more in the last six months or
Speaker 1: so than you ever did before. Frankly, unless you're hyper
Speaker 1: hyper political, which I realize you may be, but you
Speaker 1: probably didn't really know Governor Pritzker even know of Governor Pritzker.
Speaker 1: Who knows governors that much? You know a few, but
Speaker 1: you don't know that many. Why is he all of
Speaker 1: a sudden all over the television set threatening ice agent
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's a dictator all that stupid stuff. Well, he's
Speaker 1: running for president. He's going to run in that Democrat
Speaker 1: primary to be president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1: You already know that. Something you may not know about
Speaker 1: Governor Pritzker is he is a I believe a billionaire Chris.
Speaker 1: If he's not a billionaire, I think he's very close.
Speaker 1: I think he's a billionaire uber uber wealthy. So as
Speaker 1: much as I would love to crush him for declaring
Speaker 1: one point four million dollars in winnings in gambling winnings,
Speaker 1: I think it was in Las Vegas, if I remember
Speaker 1: the story right. As much as I would love to
Speaker 1: say it's criminal, let me clarify why it's probably not. So.
Speaker 1: There's a world that I've never lived in and you'll
Speaker 1: probably never live in, to be honest with you, and
Speaker 1: I don't have any desire to live in it, but
Speaker 1: I have learned of it. And there's this it's this
Speaker 1: ultra world of billionaires in uber uber wealthy people. You know,
Speaker 1: I told you I've been to Las Vegas a few times.
Speaker 1: I've gambled before. I'm not really a gambler. I don't
Speaker 1: care for it. When I lose money, it makes my
Speaker 1: throat fill up with battery acid. I just cannot do it.
Speaker 1: So I might throw five bucks on a game with
Speaker 1: a friend, but not a gambler. I've seen gambling ruin
Speaker 1: people's lives. I'm just not a gambling I don't like gambling,
Speaker 1: not big on it. I'll do it, not big on.
Speaker 1: And if I ever do do it, you know, if
Speaker 1: aub and I end up at some hotel and we'll
Speaker 1: go down and maybe see a blackjack table, and we
Speaker 1: try to find the ten dollars, a ham, five dollars,
Speaker 1: a hand table, the same one you play, pull out
Speaker 1: fifty bucks, one hundred bucks, You gamble it, when it's gone,
Speaker 1: you walk away. That's that's how we try to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy, but there are I know this
Speaker 1: for a fact, there are secret gambling rooms in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas casinos that you will never see, and I will
Speaker 1: never see. It doesn't matter how many phone calls they make,
Speaker 1: how many strings I try to pull. I will never
Speaker 1: even lay eyes on them. Regular people will never lay
Speaker 1: eyes on them. And what's more, you will probably never
Speaker 1: lay eyes on the people who gamble in them. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about secret entrances from underground garages where the paparazzi
Speaker 1: can't see you, where you are whisked away through very
Speaker 1: very posh corridors in the bowels of a Las Vegas hotel,
Speaker 1: and you walk in to the most beautiful little gambling
Speaker 1: room possible, and the only people in there are the
Speaker 1: white staff, who are sworn to secrecy under pain of death,
Speaker 1: and they have to hire the most strict NDAs, and
Speaker 1: the history of mankind. You can't believe the things they
Speaker 1: make these people sign. You're not allowed to go home
Speaker 1: to your wife and say, hey, honey, Governor Pritzker was
Speaker 1: in tonight, or you lose everything. It's understood. And this
Speaker 1: is where Michael Jordan gambles. And this is where guys
Speaker 1: like Pritzker gamble. They're not out there at the five
Speaker 1: dollars blackjack table with you and me. They're not pulling
Speaker 1: slots or whatever. Those are the slots right that the
Speaker 1: things I've never actually played there, they're not pulling slots.
Speaker 1: They are in a private place in the same building
Speaker 1: technically you are. But they don't gamble like you, and
Speaker 1: they don't gamble like me. I realize I don't gamble much,
Speaker 1: But do you understand what I'm saying? And for a
Speaker 1: guy like Pritzker, a billionaire, if you were to tell
Speaker 1: me that in one night he lost ten million dollars,
Speaker 1: I would say, oh yeah, let's see that. And if
Speaker 1: you were to tell me in one night he won
Speaker 1: five million dollars, I will tell you the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can see that when normal people here
Speaker 1: one point four million dollars he won that gambling. That
Speaker 1: must be corrupt. It's a totally understandable reaction. But there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris said one or two hands. It really is. Honestly,
Speaker 1: when I heard that, I thought, oh billionaire, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: he had he hit it big at the end, he
Speaker 1: had one great he had a great hand or two
Speaker 1: walked away from the tables. It is the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show on a Friday. Getting right back into it here,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this mafia rigging card games story. And
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into any specifics so they
Speaker 1: don't care about the NBA, and I don't care about
Speaker 1: any of that. But what I do care about is
Speaker 1: crime and society and warg and I crime and Look,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I'm not gonna speak for women,
Speaker 1: but I will speak for every single dude listening to
Speaker 1: the sound of my voice, every dude listening to the
Speaker 1: sound of my voice, who woke up yesterday and saw
Speaker 1: a story or read a story about the Italian mafia
Speaker 1: rigging NBA games or card games or whatever the headline
Speaker 1: happened to say, whatever one you read, every single dude
Speaker 1: to a man thought to himself, Oh that sounds kind
Speaker 1: of cool. Let me explain men much more so than women. No,
Speaker 1: we're not worse, but all men have this thing inside
Speaker 1: of them, a rebellious streak inside of them. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: small in you, maybe it's big in you. That it
Speaker 1: just totally depends on so many things upbringing how God
Speaker 1: created you. But all men we dream of this scenario,
Speaker 1: society degrading to a point or you being pushed to
Speaker 1: a point in some way where you throw caution to
Speaker 1: the wind, you throw laws to the wind. You're not
Speaker 1: obeying rules anymore, and you're gonna do whatever you wanna do,
Speaker 1: come what may. That's why movies where somebody innocent gets
Speaker 1: hurt or killed, the John Wick movies. You killed his
Speaker 1: puppy and now he has no choice but to murder
Speaker 1: three hundred people for it. That the dudes love movies
Speaker 1: like that, and because of things like that, organized crime.
Speaker 1: I'm working about the Italian mafia. The Italian mafia has
Speaker 1: always had a fascination with the American male, and I
Speaker 1: realize some women as well. You're telling me there's this
Speaker 1: fairly secret group of men and they just do whatever
Speaker 1: they want. They just commit crimes. There's no way, and
Speaker 1: that's why there's so many movies about them. People are
Speaker 1: fascinated by the lifestyle, fascinated by it, even if you
Speaker 1: don't ever want to do it, right, I don't ever
Speaker 1: want to do it. I don't ever want to be
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I couldn't be one of those guys.
Speaker 1: But even if you don't want to do it, here's
Speaker 1: a little party that does. So we hear these things
Speaker 1: that we're fascinated by. I'm not defending it at all,
Speaker 1: because they are criminals and murderers and thieves, and it's terrible.
Speaker 1: Please don't do it. But that's the fascination with it.
Speaker 1: And that's why that story made so many headlines yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know I wasn't on the edge. I was doing
Speaker 1: the Megan Kelly thing, but that's why that thing got
Speaker 1: so big yesterday. I will say, when we were on
Speaker 1: the way to the Megan Kelly thing, I was driving.
Speaker 1: You know, it's me ob and the boys. I took
Speaker 1: the boys last night. We were on our way to
Speaker 1: the Megan Kelly thing and it was away from our house,
Speaker 1: so we were driving there. The boys brought it up
Speaker 1: because the boys, of course all their friends in school
Speaker 1: were talking about it. Dad, did you hear about the mob?
Speaker 1: Dadd did you hear about this? Dad? What do you
Speaker 1: think about that? So I'll just tell you the same
Speaker 1: thing I told the boys. You can and should, frankly,
Speaker 1: attack crime in your society. Crime is something that has
Speaker 1: to be attacked. You have to go after it. You
Speaker 1: have to arrest and prosecute and imprison criminals. Otherwise, the
Speaker 1: criminals you don't arrest, they'll commit more crimes and worse crimes,
Speaker 1: and society will go completely out of control as the
Speaker 1: bad people overwhelm the good people. This is basic criminal justice.
Speaker 1: You have to have a society that attacks criminals, which
Speaker 1: is why Democrats don't. But we'll set that aside for now. However,
Speaker 1: no matter how much time, no matter how many resources
Speaker 1: you dedicate to attacking organized crime, the Italian mafia, it
Speaker 1: will never ever ever be snuffed out completely because mankind
Speaker 1: will always have a desire for things hasten not allowed
Speaker 1: to have. Whatever that maybe it's illegal gambling, maybe, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe it's drugs, Maybe choose your choose your vice. There
Speaker 1: will always be a desire for it. As long as
Speaker 1: there's a desire for it, there will be a market
Speaker 1: for it. And as long as there is a market
Speaker 1: for it, there will be men who find a way
Speaker 1: to serve that market. Period, end of story. That is
Speaker 1: what has kept all organized crime. It's not just Italians,
Speaker 1: the Russians, the Mexicans, the Irish, that they're organized crime
Speaker 1: groups everywhere. That is what has kept them alive forever
Speaker 1: and will keep them alive for a long time. You're
Speaker 1: just trying to make sure they don't get so big
Speaker 1: and powerful they overwhelm you, and to get a little
Speaker 1: bit darker, because there's there's some an ugly story that
Speaker 1: we've talked about before here. Well, I'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: play it. Tulsea Gabbert talked about it. This is not
Speaker 1: going to be news to you. You've heard this before
Speaker 1: about human trafficking.
Speaker 2: Here the most insidious providing intelligence to the Mexican law
Speaker 2: enforcement that led to the arrest of a CJNG cartel
Speaker 2: affiliated baby trafficker called La Diablo. Her whole money making
Speaker 2: operation was centered around luring pregnant women, performing illegal c sections,
Speaker 2: harvesting organs, and selling newborn babies.
Speaker 1: You remember that story when we talked about it. It's Friday,
Speaker 1: am in a great mood, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: dwell on the horror of that. But what did she
Speaker 1: just say? You took pregnant women, you lied to them
Speaker 1: to get them to an undisclosed location where you then
Speaker 1: cut their babies out of them, killed the women, and
Speaker 1: harvested the organs, and then sold the babies off. How
Speaker 1: could that happen more specifically for our purposes here, Why
Speaker 1: would that even happen? Why would that happen organs and
Speaker 1: babies because there's a market for it. That's why organs.
Speaker 1: Organs are in demand as people around the globe have
Speaker 1: failing ones, Now that the medical technology is available to
Speaker 1: take your failing one and remove it from your body
Speaker 1: and find a healthy one and put it in your body.
Speaker 1: Now that that technology is available, people who don't want
Speaker 1: to die, they would like to purchase one, And if
Speaker 1: they have to purchase one on the black market, they
Speaker 1: will purchase one. And babies, why are you taking a
Speaker 1: woman's baby? What are you doing with the baby? There's
Speaker 1: a market for that too. Do I need to remind
Speaker 1: you what Brandon Darby came on show and told us
Speaker 1: about that little market. I have cringed and winced many
Speaker 1: times on this show as we've talked about whatever news
Speaker 1: of the day there is, But I don't know that
Speaker 1: I've ever winced as hard as I winced when Brandon Darby,
Speaker 1: our cartel expert, sat right here and told us, Yeah,
Speaker 1: gay couples are buying these babies in the United States
Speaker 1: of America. I know this is I know this is ugly.
Speaker 1: We're gonna move on, We're gonna talk about something else.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about you. Honestly, I think I'll probably do
Speaker 1: just a little bit of history here, just to get
Speaker 1: us off of the ugliness, and just a little brief
Speaker 1: history We're not gonna do a long one right now.
Speaker 1: But as we talked about before, there is a dark,
Speaker 1: dark world. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
Speaker 1: Fantastic Friday. Member. You can email the show you love,
Speaker 1: your hate, your death threats Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1: That was a lot of human trafficking in Oregon harvesting talk.
Speaker 1: Let's get away from that. Let's talk about something, maybe
Speaker 1: a little historical, maybe something to make you think, something
Speaker 1: that makes me think. Jesse, your history on the bridge
Speaker 1: over the River Kwai was interesting to me and a
Speaker 1: reminder of the brutality of the Japanese the Japanese inflicted
Speaker 1: on the POWs. One thing that uh I happened to
Speaker 1: think about was I can understand now why so many
Speaker 1: baby boomers don't buy Japanese products. However, Japanese products are
Speaker 1: now generally better than most other products. It occurred to
Speaker 1: me that the Germanic barbarians and Scandavian barbarians are now
Speaker 1: also known for their engineering precision. Is this a coincidence
Speaker 1: or can you think of other people who were militaristic
Speaker 1: barbarians that are now great engineers. Any thoughts on why
Speaker 1: or why not? All right, So let's have a talk,
Speaker 1: maybe an ugly talk, maybe a wonderful time, but something
Speaker 1: that I have thought about many times before as I
Speaker 1: try to learn about history and military campaigns and societies
Speaker 1: and their rise and their fall. And I guess the
Speaker 1: best I can tell you is this, Let's take our morality,
Speaker 1: our things, our thoughts on things like killing people. Let's
Speaker 1: set that aside for a moment, just a moment, all right,
Speaker 1: Believe me, I want you to pick it back up
Speaker 1: in a moment. Just set that aside for a moment. Now.
Speaker 1: Why let's let's let's approach this from this way. Why
Speaker 1: is it that life expectancy today is so much longer
Speaker 1: than it was in you know history? Why why is
Speaker 1: it now? There was even in America in our early times?
Speaker 1: In America, I believe the number is fifty percent of
Speaker 1: babies would die at some point after birth, I think
Speaker 1: within their first two years. I forget the exact metric,
Speaker 1: but it was it was half. I know that's the number. Now,
Speaker 1: that's that's very rare. I know what happens. That's very rare.
Speaker 1: What why do we live so much longer now? Well?
Speaker 1: Mankind itself We're not going to make this just about America.
Speaker 1: Mankind itself has advanced. Mankind has advanced in a million
Speaker 1: different ways technologically. One of the main drivers, in fact,
Speaker 1: in that advancement is the availability of cheap energy. That is,
Speaker 1: something that was not available in the past. Everything we
Speaker 1: run by fire or even when steam was in advancement.
Speaker 1: Now we have all these ways of energy, cheap affordable energy.
Speaker 1: Even poor people have lights and air conditioning and refrigerators.
Speaker 1: So mankind as a whole, as a whole, let's look
Speaker 1: at everything as a whole has advanced. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: It's good. We want to advance, don't we. Now how
Speaker 1: how does mankind advance? Let's talk about Well, let's use someone.
Speaker 1: I love the Sioux or the Lakota, Indians. I mean,
Speaker 1: I like Indian tribes. I've always thought they were so cool.
Speaker 1: I've always learned about them. I was the dork who
Speaker 1: wanted to be the Indian when we played Cowboys and
Speaker 1: Indians so much. So I like Indian tribes, Cherokees and
Speaker 1: all of them. I just love them. So let's use
Speaker 1: the Lakota. The soup. Now, they were lords of the plains,
Speaker 1: great on horseback, and they were dominant over the other
Speaker 1: Indian peoples in their area. Dominant, warlike, dominant and the
Speaker 1: most powerful. Now if the Lakota, if they had been
Speaker 1: able to keep their stranglehold on their area, would mankind
Speaker 1: have advanced to a place where the average person lives
Speaker 1: seventy years old? Now? No? Okay, okay? So how did
Speaker 1: we get rid of the Lakota War? The more technologically
Speaker 1: advanced power fought killed them and took what they had.
Speaker 1: We conquered them. I made this about the Lakota because
Speaker 1: I'm a fan, but we can make it about any
Speaker 1: tribal peoples anywhere, not just in America. The tribe, the
Speaker 1: less technologically advanced tribal people were conquered and killed, let's
Speaker 1: be honest, conquered and killed by more advanced people. Now,
Speaker 1: even people who are kind of on the fence about
Speaker 1: things that kind of makes you win wins a little.
Speaker 1: So doesn't it cringe you squirm in your seat? I
Speaker 1: kind of? I mean, I really wish Australia hadn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wish the Aborigines hadn't been crushed and slaughtered. And
Speaker 1: maybe Caesar shouldn't have killed a million galls and maybe
Speaker 1: it makes you squirm in your seat, Totally understandable. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying and not saying otherwise. But if we're looking
Speaker 1: at mankind as a whole, is conquest bad when generally
Speaker 1: it is the more technologically advanced power who wins. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is horrible for the people who are being conquered,
Speaker 1: no question. And this is not necessarily a defensive conquest,
Speaker 1: just a way to think about things from a real
Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot view. Is conquest bad when mankind itself
Speaker 1: advances people today, millions and millions, tens of millions of them.
Speaker 1: They lead better lives, longer lives, more comfortable lives, tens
Speaker 1: of millions. Let's be honest, billions of people live better
Speaker 1: lives because because tribal peoples around the globe were conquered
Speaker 1: by more technologically advanced powers. Kind of a survival of
Speaker 1: the fittest thing. A pride of lions. Do you know
Speaker 1: there's one male that leads a pride of lions. Did
Speaker 1: you know that he's the one who gets to breed
Speaker 1: with all the female lions, And did you know that
Speaker 1: he has to fight, sometimes to the death the other
Speaker 1: males in order to achieve that. You know who wins
Speaker 1: in the end, the pride itself. You have stronger offspring,
Speaker 1: and the leader, the protector of your tribe, is stronger.
Speaker 1: The pride itself benefits in every way by the most
Speaker 1: powerful male defeating and sometimes killing the less powerful male ugly,
Speaker 1: of course, also probably for the best
