And before I forget 15 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.799 a half hour from now, the great Mike Rowe. You 16 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.040 know Mike row Micro. Of course, everybody knows who Mike 17 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.519 Rowe is. Mike Rowe, the guy who's been teaching us 18 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.159 about the greatness of the trades and all that stuff 19 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.319 for so long. He knows I'm hot on that too, 20 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.120 and he will be joining the show a half hour 21 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.959 from now to talk about you and me and jobs 22 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.480 and the economy, and yes, Chris, we will discuss what's 23 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.879 on the grill for Independence Day. I love it, Okay, 24 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.719 I got to give you a heads up about something. 25 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.480 I don't want to talk about the bill. I don't uh. 26 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.319 Maybe you're just now joining us. Maybe you're just now 27 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.799 getting in a car. I've been paying attention to the news. 28 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.439 This was Mike Johnson earlier today. 29 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.480 This vote, the yaser to eighteen, the nayser two fourteen. 30 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:59.400 The motion is adopted. You got it. The bill passed. 31 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.920 Maybe you love it, maybe you hate it. There you go, 32 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.599 there's your breaking news of the day. I don't care 33 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.239 to talk about it anymore. Sorry, I'm not interested whatsoever. 34 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.520 It's gigantic, way too big, spends way too much. There 35 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.280 are some wonderful things in it, some absolutely disgusting, criminal, 36 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.879 embarrassing things in it. That's how life goes. Congress is evil, corrupt, 37 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.039 and horrible. I'm not going to be dragged down on 38 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.840 this day. The bill passed, Trump signed it to YadA, YadA, YadA. 39 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.520 There you go. There's your breaking news. Jessey, do you 40 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.800 think there's any chance of an attack on America on 41 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.120 the fourth, or more importantly, next year on the two 42 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.479 hundred and fiftieth birthday celebration. Okay, there's a reason I 43 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:43.719 wanted to open up with this question. Maybe maybe there is. 44 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.400 Maybe maybe Iran's gonna go set off a bomb somewhere. 45 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.800 Maybe another one of these training terrorists is gonna go 46 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.360 murder a bunch of people. Maybe maybe, maybe maybe maybe 47 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.199 I don't know, I don't know. There could be an 48 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.599 attack going on right now. I don't know. But let 49 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.599 me tell you something. There's nothing, nothing in this world 50 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.719 that would keep me from celebrating Independence Day. Do you 51 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.680 know what I'm doing on Independence Day. There's this town 52 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.400 close to us, well, I say close about an hour away. 53 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:27.199 They have the most ridiculous, over the top, red, white, 54 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:33.599 and Blue God and Country Independence Day parade that morning. Now, 55 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.120 I hate parades. Hate parades. I think they're the most boring, 56 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.240 lame thing in the world. Not this one. They'll have 57 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.560 guns laid out on the table you can just buy. 58 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.039 They'll have they do American Revolution reenactments with squirt guns 59 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.879 where they're where the British are shooting squirt guns that 60 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.560 the kids and the kids are throwing water balloons back. 61 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.400 It is the most over the top thing in the world. 62 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.759 And I'm going I don't care what the threats are. 63 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.039 I don't care what the danger is. I'm going and 64 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:15.800 then tomorrow night I have a vat of fireworks that 65 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.360 is probably equal or perhaps exceeding the fireworks that will 66 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.240 be set off in many towns across the United States 67 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.600 of America. No, it's not for the whole neighborhood. It's 68 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.920 just for me. I mean me, the kids, oh, my 69 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.399 fam a couple other family members, a couple of friends 70 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.160 coming over. And there's nothing that's gonna stop me from 71 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.839 setting it off. And do you know why, Because I 72 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:48.720 am so insanely grateful to be an American and you 73 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.439 should too what we have here, because it's all we've 74 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.680 ever known. If you're an American listening to this, because 75 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.600 it's all we've ever known, we don't even I don't 76 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.560 fully appreciate how amazing it is to live in a 77 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.800 country that had a revolution. We had a revolution against 78 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.439 the most powerful empire on the planet. You could make 79 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.439 the argument that the British Empire when we had our revolution, 80 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.160 was the most powerful revolution or most powerful empire in 81 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.399 human history. They had Australia, then India, America. The sun 82 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.439 never sets on the British Empire. All that stuff was true, 83 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.519 this ridiculously powerful empire, and yet they started to do 84 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.319 what evil tyrannical governments do. They started to poke and 85 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.079 poke and poke. We're not gonna let you do this, 86 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:41.839 and we're not gonna let you do that, and we're 87 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.079 gonna tax this, and we're gonna abuse you with that, 88 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.439 and we're going to abuse. 89 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:45.519 You with this. 90 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.680 Almost like they were daring us to revolve, Almost like 91 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.800 they were daring us to have a revolution. But you 92 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.639 know all that, Here's what you maybe don't know. Revolutions 93 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.240 are awful almost every single time because whenever you remove 94 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.399 a government, even an evil one, Mao will make it. 95 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.720 Mao maybe the most evil man who ever lived. Even 96 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.160 if you had a revolution in China when Mao was 97 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.800 busy killing fifty million of his own people, even if 98 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.560 that happened, you know who would usually almost every time, 99 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.160 you know who would take over the warlord who has 100 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.240 the most guns and most power and honestly is the 101 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.000 most violent. That's who wins the wars most of the time. 102 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:37.560 You realize that the most violent gun happy person, weapon 103 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.959 happy person, who's able to kill more people than other people, 104 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.560 he takes over for the tyrant who just got kicked 105 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.560 out and then he does worse things than the other 106 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.240 tyrant did. Actually, that's a really good point, Chris. Haiti 107 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.079 is a great example. Haiti. Everyone knows about the transit 108 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:57.399 transatlantic slave trade and all that, and I know America 109 00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.959 and then America is the only one, but it was 110 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.279 South America the care It was a big business, it 111 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.680 was a global business. You'd be hard pressed to find 112 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:12.959 in that era a more despicable slavery condition than Haiti 113 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.879 had at the time, because it was sugarcane and that's 114 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.240 so labor intensive and just the abuse. And so you're 115 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.399 looking at Haiti at the time and you're thinking to yourself, Wow, 116 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.439 they should cast that off, they should have a revolution, 117 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.639 they should revolt, and they did. Whoo, yes, let's get 118 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.680 rid of them. Yep, Haiti's the biggest dump on the 119 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.759 planet today. You could easily argue that Haiti is worse 120 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.920 today than it was when they had slaves. They're eating 121 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:46.240 each other in the place. Revolutions don't work out, that's 122 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.399 not a thing that happens. Oh, Revolutions happen, and the 123 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.800 people are as bad or worse off every single time. Now, 124 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.720 let's talk about this the men who led our revolution. 125 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.560 They were the top one percenters of their time. It 126 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.120 wasn't just you know, a peasant revolt where you or 127 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.639 me were unhappy with the taxes. I can't, I can't. 128 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.720 No no, no, no, no no. Our political leaders, our 129 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.360 business leaders. Patrick Henry, you know Patrick Henry. Everyone knows 130 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.600 at least the saying give me liberty or give me death. 131 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.000 You know that. 132 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:28.879 Patrick Henry was the five time governor of Virginia. Our 133 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:35.200 top and elite. They led our revolution against the British crown. 134 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:40.399 And so you have these elite guys, politicians and wealthy people. 135 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.559 John Hancock, you know that huge signature on the declaration everybody, 136 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.639 John Hancock. John Hancock was like a billionaire. I mean 137 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.720 not a billionaire, but compared to his time, pretty much 138 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:56.960 was a billionaire. Our elite read led a revolution against 139 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.000 the British crown. Now let me ask you something. If 140 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.399 Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump and Elon Musk and but 141 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.480 all the elite, all the Rhonda Santus will make it 142 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.559 the political elite too, all the political and wealthy elite, 143 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.240 if they all banded together and they had a revolution today, 144 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.080 what kind of government would they give? 145 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:19.600 Us next. 146 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.600 Do you think do you think they would all have 147 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.080 the kind of government all agree to give us, the 148 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:33.320 kind of government that strip them of power. That doesn't happen. 149 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.799 They would come up with a kind of government that 150 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.000 gives them more power and more money, like happens in 151 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.919 every other revolution, but not here, not in the United 152 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:49.120 States of America. We replaced a tyrant with freedom, and 153 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:54.200 that never happens. You, an American citizen, can turn off 154 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.240 the Jesse Kelly Show right now and go buy a 155 00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.279 billboard in your town that says Donald Trump sucks. And 156 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.960 you know what will happen to you? Nothing, because you 157 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:10.519 are free, a free American, and you are free because 158 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:16.240 we had the greatest revolution ever. I don't care what 159 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.679 may happen on the fourth of July, I will be 160 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.200 out there waving the red, white, and blue, celebrating the 161 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.000 unbelievable blessing that I am an American, and I hope 162 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.000 you will join me. By the way, I had a 163 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:38.320 chance to have a discussion today with somebody. He is 164 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:45.240 a professor. He knows more about American history. He's forgotten 165 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.080 more about American history than I will ever know in 166 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.960 my entire lifetime. His name's Wilfred McLay by the way, 167 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:57.039 Wilfred McLay. And you know what he told me. I 168 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.240 was asking him about how do you teach history? Because 169 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.919 he's a professor. How do you teach history? How do 170 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.000 you teach it? How do you present it? You know 171 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.080 what he said to me, just bless me. He said, 172 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.360 I feel like I have an obligat obligation as a 173 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.840 history teacher to create good citizens. 174 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:19.080 Wow, it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent 175 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.159 Thursday Independence Day eve in a rebel yell. 176 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:28.440 Indeed, because we rebelled. We rebelled against tyranny. We rebelled 177 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.200 against the evil English king, that piece of trash that 178 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.159 he was, and we said no more, no, we will 179 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.600 be free. We will cast off our tyrant, and we 180 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.480 will not replace him with another one. The people of 181 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.360 this country will choose their government, they will govern themselves. 182 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.840 And that is why I will celebrate tomorrow. It's not 183 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.279 because we don't have problems and everything's fine, Abev abev 184 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.879 of the I will celebrate because my children live free, 185 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.600 and they live free because we fought against tyranny and 186 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.840 replaced it with something freaking better. Like here's another one, 187 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:14.080 dear Top five napper, listening to your podcast tonight, hearing 188 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.759 a clip of Dome answer the questions on CBS reminds 189 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.799 me of how we dodge that bullet. It's the fourth 190 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.559 of July this week. We need to celebrate as much 191 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:28.039 as the Communists celebrate their BS holidays. We're doing good. 192 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.279 Momentum is building, celebrate wins, and on the fifth, let's 193 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.080 keep up the fight. Semper five. Maybe we ought to 194 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.120 just dwell on that for a moment. Here we are 195 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:45.039 on Independence Day and I know nothing's perfect. I get that. 196 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.360 I know we have all kinds of problems FBI and spending. 197 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.399 I get all that. What's today like with President Kamala Harris? 198 00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:00.000 What what tomorrow? What's today tomorrow like with President Joe Biden. 199 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.399 I'll tell you what. It's not like. It's not this. 200 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.960 So the Homeland Security Department, or at least brand new 201 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.600 data this week showing that in June there were a 202 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:13.639 record low number of both nationwide border encounters and illegal 203 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.519 immigrant apprehensions at the southern border. Here's the craziest part. 204 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.600 There were zero illegal immigrants released in the US. 205 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:20.639 You compare that to the. 206 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.799 Highs under the Biden administration when we saw as many 207 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.200 as twelve thousand encounters per day. 208 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.759 Do you know what else isn't happening with President Kamala Harris? 209 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:30.240 This? 210 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.000 This is better than expected? Yeah, Sarah it is. They're 211 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.120 talking about the jobs report. By the way, this is 212 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.480 better than expected. Yeah, Sarah, it is. 213 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.519 Look, this jobs market is like the energizer bunny. Every 214 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.440 single time we expected to run out of steam, it 215 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.679 just keeps going and going. So these new numbers show 216 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.679 the US economy added one hundred and forty seven thousand 217 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.279 jobs in June. That was well ahead of the expectation 218 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.039 of about one hundred and eighteen thousand, well ahead of 219 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.879 some whispers that we heard on Wall Street of a 220 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:02.600 sub one hundred thousand number. This is indeed beating expectations. 221 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.840 We were also expecting a slowdown. We did not get that. 222 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.240 This is basically in line with May, which was revised higher. 223 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:10.960 It's also good news the unemployment. 224 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.679 You want to feel good about that bill that was 225 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.000 passed today, I want to feel good about something else. 226 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.080 I'm not even saying I like it. Well, let's go 227 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.600 to a Democrat. Why should I like this bill? Who 228 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:25.120 came Jeffries all out of assault on the care mister 229 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:32.080 Speaker being provided by Planned Parenthood. The bill is an 230 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:35.240 all out of sault on Planned Parenthood. Hey at Kim Jeffries, 231 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.480 should I like this bill and miss the speaker? We 232 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.679 want no part of it, which is why we're fighting 233 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:49.840 so hard to stop it. Sounds like my kind of thing. 234 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.360 Why is he fighting so hard to stop it? Or 235 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.399 why was he fighting so hard to stop it? Probably 236 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:55.919 things like this. 237 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:03.279 A deportation machine that will be unleashed on steroids by 238 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.639 this one big, ugly bill. 239 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:12.960 Yes, I'm so excited. It sounds wonderful. Anyway, steroids are underrated. 240 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.679 No stop, I don't want you what Chris, It's fine, 241 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.639 let me explain. I don't want you to ever do steroids. Okay, 242 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.399 So I want you to stay away from the rooids 243 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.159 because I don't want your hard to explode when you're 244 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.440 thirty five. But man, wasn't baseball speaking of America? Wasn't 245 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.639 baseball sweet when everyone was all juiced up? As I've 246 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.240 gotten older, I'm getting back into baseball and I love 247 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.440 it now, don't get me wrong, But everyone complained. Everyone 248 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.120 complained that all the players had biceps the size of 249 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.919 my thighs. And that were jack and eighty bombs a year. 250 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.080 That's the most fun I've ever had watching baseball on 251 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.279 my entire life. That's fine, it's not my dad. He's 252 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.320 not my strength. Coach. Go ahead, jam that needle in 253 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.039 your arm, buddy, and hit one out for all of us. Sorry, Chris, 254 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.840 I'm gonna clean that up. I told you I'm in 255 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.080 a good mood. And when I'm in a good mood, 256 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.440 sometimes the show can take a dark turn. All right, 257 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.399 it can take a dark turn because I'm a dark person, really, 258 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.320 especially now I've been out in the sun. Doctor tiny hands, 259 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.720 I have two questions for you. 260 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.840 I like you. 261 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.879 I never paid attention in school, so I'm still green 262 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.799 on the different branches and their powers. Who has more 263 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.159 power the House or the Senate? Or is it like 264 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.879 comparing apples to oranges? Also they both suck something awful. 265 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.320 What which group of people are the worse or worse 266 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:34.879 rhino wise? House members or Senate members? All right, let's 267 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:39.519 talk about this first. Who has more power the House 268 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:45.200 or Senate? That is definitely like comparing apples to oranges. 269 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.440 You kind of nailed that one. Keep in mind, there's 270 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.879 what the Senate is now and there's what the Senate 271 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:58.720 was supposed to be, and because of something horrible called 272 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:04.319 the Seventeenth Amendments, what the Senate is now is totally 273 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:09.359 totally different, totally totally different than what the founders had intended. 274 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.839 So let's discuss this because look, it's American Revolution time. 275 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.599 I mean, no, hold, stop, stop, don't have a revolution. 276 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.839 We're talking about Independence Day, and so the American Revolution, 277 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.119 in our constitution and our form of government, it's going 278 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.480 to be on people's minds. Let's discuss what was the 279 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.359 intention of all of it and where that brought us now. 280 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.319 But you're gonna have to wait on that because we're 281 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:35.960 talking to Micro next. Mike Ro's going to talk about jobs, trades, 282 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.400 other things, and then I swear on my life will 283 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.119 geek out on constitution stuff and Senate and House and 284 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.880 everything else. I bet Micro takes chuck. I bet he does, seriously, 285 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.000 anybody who works with his hands like Micro does and 286 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.200 encourages others to do the sames. You know what, he 287 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.599 has testosterone, a lot of it. And I bet, look, 288 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.599 he's perfectly aware that our water is full of estrogen. 289 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.160 Full of estrogen. You heard of Kim Jeffrey. You think 290 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.559 this water isn't full of estrogen and miss the speaker, 291 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.039 we want no part of it. Okay, Chris, did you 292 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.200 detect a little lisp in there? Hey, miss the speaker 293 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:11.799 and miss the speaker, we want no part of it. 294 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.240 Which is he needs a male vitality stack.

We'll be back with Mike rom It is 305 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:58.920 the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday. Oh my goodness, 306 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.160 I'm so excited for fireworks in the parade with guns 307 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.559 in god in America. Gosh, I love Independence Day, and 308 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.200 I'm so excited to talk to Mike Rowe joining me now, 309 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.519 somebody I've respected for a very long time and honored 310 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.000 to have him on the show. I love his content 311 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.960 and love how he encourages young men to perhaps forge 312 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.839 a different path in what society's telling him to go along. 313 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:28.079 CEO of Mike Roworks Foundation, do I have that right, Mike? 314 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:33.119 That's close enough, man. Yeah, that's me, Mike. 315 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.839 Why shouldn't everybody go to college? I was always told 316 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:38.559 you got to go to college, you got to go 317 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.640 to college. Do you just want young men to be poor? 318 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.079 First of all, thanks for the kind words. I stumbled 319 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.920 across something you put up on X the other day, 320 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:49.599 and I don't know if you saw it, but I 321 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.039 actually commented on it because it's the same thing I've 322 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.319 been screaming for seventeen years. But look, the short answer 323 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.519 is we're individuals. And you know, when you get into 324 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.319 politics and when you start hearing people paint with a 325 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.039 very broad brush, you know, you start to get these platitudes, 326 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.680 and all of them are well intended, but none of 327 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.359 them really make any sense. And the idea that a 328 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.480 four year degree is the best path for the most 329 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.119 people is right up there with one of the most 330 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.720 hair brained ideas that's ever been put forth. You know, 331 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.880 you can walk it back to the day we took 332 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:29.240 shop class out of high school, and ever since then, 333 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.880 to varying degrees, we've gotten it into our heads that 334 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.559 our kids are going to be screwed if they don't 335 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.079 borrow whatever it takes to get a four year degree. 336 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.200 And that has caused so many problems. I know you're 337 00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:46.279 familiar with most of them, but just so your listeners know, 338 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.559 in no particular order, we have seven point six million 339 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.680 open jobs available right now, most of them don't require 340 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.960 four year degree. We have one point seven trillion dollars 341 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.599 of student loans on the books that never going to 342 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.759 get paid back. We're lending money we don't have to 343 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.960 kids who can't pay it back, to training for jobs 344 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.519 that don't exist anymore. And it really all spins out 345 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.400 of this misguided idea that everybody needs a four year degree. 346 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.400 No, I just love that, and I've always loved that. 347 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.720 But granted I come from a construction family. It's what 348 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:22.400 I did, it's what my father did, it's what my 349 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.599 grandfather did. And I think there's a couple of things, 350 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.000 just in my opinion that people will get wrong about this. First, 351 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:34.960 they think that being sweatier, dirty somehow is bad. If 352 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.880 you don't work in the air conditioning, then you have 353 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.279 a bad job. My dad made a ton of money, 354 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.680 got sweaty and dirty his entire life, and I think 355 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.079 they think it means you're going to not have as 356 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.079 much money. But I've worked with somebody who had one 357 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.200 hundred thousand dollars in college debt. He was making twelve 358 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.640 I think it was twelve dollars an hour. He's never 359 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.000 going to pay that off. Yet there's a plant a 360 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.079 mile from my house. After you're done with your education, 361 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.079 you can start at a hundred fifty grand a year. 362 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.599 It's just not true that sweat's bad for you, and 363 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.799 it's not true you're going to be poor. 364 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.960 Well, this is, you know, from your mouth to God's ears, 365 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.359 you know, I mean it was. It's funny. Twenty two 366 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.759 years ago I shot the pilot for Dirty Jobs and 367 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.079 tried to sell it, and it was a tough sell. 368 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.400 None of the networks wanted it, you know. Discovery finally 369 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:25.559 took it, but really just to shut me up. They 370 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:27.559 had other plans for me, and I just you know, 371 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.319 did a couple episodes of this thing because for the 372 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.000 exact reason you're saying, Jesse, the network executives are not 373 00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.200 much different than concerned parents, you know, they they want 374 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.640 to make the right call. And at the time, nobody 375 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.359 had ever really celebrated jobs that take place out of 376 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.079 sight and out of mind and that require you to 377 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.319 deal with peces from every species and all sorts of 378 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.200 these other things. It just didn't seem like something people 379 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.559 would want to watch. But holy cow man, once that 380 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.039 went on the air, we got thousands, tens of thousands 381 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.319 of letters from viewers, not telling me how funny I 382 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.559 was or how much they loved the show. Necessarily it 383 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.880 was more about, hey, Mike, if you think that's dirty, 384 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.359 way do you see what my dad does, my brother, 385 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.200 my cousin, my sister. Right, And so there was a 386 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:21.720 real enthusiasm for the country that a lot of people 387 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.519 have missed. That comes down to celebrating and honest day's 388 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:31.960 work and really paying tribute to people who show up early, 389 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.880 stay late, you know, go to work clean, come home dirty, 390 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.279 and somehow keep polite society on the rails. So I 391 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.599 got very lucky with that show. It was ahead of 392 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:46.079 the curve, and so when I started Microworks on Labor 393 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.799 Day of two thousand and eight, it was really just 394 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.640 a love letter to a couple million open jobs we 395 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.559 had at the time that nobody seemed to want. Today, 396 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.759 it's something else, and I'm not really sure how to 397 00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:01.319 describe it, but I'll tell you. We've We've awarded thirteen 398 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.359 million dollars in work ethics scholarships. We've helped train twenty 399 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.799 five hundred men and women for a long list of 400 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.079 jobs that need to get done but simply don't have 401 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:16.240
