WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.200 It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final hour of The 2 00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.160 Jesse Kelly Show on Bloodhead's been a spectacular Friday. I'll 3 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.640 finish my little bear story in just a moment. We'll 4 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.640 get back to some politics stuff and all kinds of 5 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.879 America slash history questions and more coming up in the 6 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.120 final hour of the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. So 7 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.480 case you're just now joining us, I'm in Canada. I'm 8 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.600 bear hunting. I'm about sixty feet up in a tree, 9 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.479 maybe more. Actually, I'm way high up in a tree 10 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.359 and a tree stand. Black bear comes to the base 11 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.200 of the tree, starts sniffing at me, starts coming up 12 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.799 the tree. Now he doesn't come all the way up 13 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.679 right away. He doing this from memory. I would say 14 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:55.039 probably ten feet fast, faster than you think. Don't ever 15 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.399 think that bears are slow because they look kind of 16 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.119 big and fat. They're fast. He comes up that tree 17 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:07.359 really fast. And now I'm sitting there thinking, well, now 18 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.719 what do I do? He comes up some more another 19 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.959 ten twenty feet fast, really fast, and he is not 20 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.680 snorting and growling and acting aggressive, if I want to 21 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.560 be clear about that. But still I'm in a tree 22 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.959 stand and a bear is crawling up the tree very 23 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.040 clearly after me. Now I have a rifle in my hands, obviously, 24 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.319 that's what I was hunting bears with. Now I'm at 25 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.799 the point where I have to aim at him. He 26 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.719 comes up again. This time he comes up what I 27 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:55.439 would consider all the way. He is directly below the 28 00:01:55.519 --> 00:02:00.200 tree stand behind it though, so there's no stand or 29 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.239 anything between him and me. He's behind it. So I'm 30 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.000 standing on top of the tree stand aiming behind the tree, 31 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.639 and now I have to aim my weapon at his head. 32 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:15.400 I do not want to kill this bear, as I've 33 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.360 already explained, I have no desire to kill this bear. 34 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.360 And now I'm sitting here having a real internal debate, 35 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.080 and I'm all by myself. There's no guy, there's no dad, 36 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.319 there's no nobody, nobody around for miles. It's me and 37 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.039 this bear. I My weapon is probably maybe maybe six 38 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.400 inches from his nose. That's how close he is to me. 39 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.639 That's where we're at here, and I've just seen how 40 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.639 fast he is. For safety's sake, I should probably just 41 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.240 pop it. May be done with it, I don't. We 42 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.919 have ourselves a good old fashioned little standoff up there. 43 00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:00.360 He's staring at me. My weapon is staring at him, 44 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.560 and my finger is I mean, I'm already pressing the 45 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.560 trigger as lightly as possible because I've seen how fast 46 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.759 the moves. I have to be ready to squeeze immediately 47 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.719 or he's going to be on me. I mean, look, 48 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.599 just falling from a tree that size, I probably would 49 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.159 have died. But no matter what he would have done 50 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.400 with too me, and God was with me that day. 51 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.960 He just sat there, sniffed and looked and sniffed and 52 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.759 looked and sniffed and looked, scampered back down the tree 53 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.719 and took off. That'll get the old heart pumping, Hey, Jesse, 54 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.479 I've always been a fan of late night TV Carson 55 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.960 and Letterman and later Colbert and others. After Trump's victory 56 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.240 in twenty sixteen, the Colbert Show quickly became a solid 57 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.080 one third of the show mocking and berating Trump. I 58 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.439 always thought going to bed after some good natured comedy 59 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.000 was a healthy thing. Colbert's show did exactly the opposite. 60 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.319 Do you think this was a calculated attempt to program 61 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.080 my fellow geezer population? Is this how trump de rangent 62 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.840 syndrome was created? Okay, well, there's there's a lot to 63 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.120 what you just said. The communist knows that he has 64 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.800 to repeat the same propaganda over and over and over 65 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.319 and over and over again. There's something to that. But 66 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.759 there's something else. You know, Why does why does Hollywood 67 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.399 keep making movies that bomb? They'll make a kids movie 68 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.879 and they'll gay the whole thing up and it'll bomb. 69 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.800 But it's not a one off. They'll do it again 70 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.199 the next month. Kids movie, gay the thing up, bomb, 71 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.720 Kids movie, gay the thing up bomb. Superhero movie, Oh no, 72 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.160 instead of a Superman or something like that, it's a 73 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.600 big it's a woman who does spin kicks, bomb bomb bomb. 74 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.000 Colbert losing forty million dollars a year doesn't change the thing. 75 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.079 I want you to. I want you to. I'll explain 76 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.240 it in this way. I want you to picture. There's 77 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.519 a town. In fact, the town I grew up in 78 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.360 is actually similar to this story. Bozeman, Montana. There was 79 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.519 one high school. Montana's not a big place. Bozeman is 80 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.160 considered big for Montana, but it's not big by any means. 81 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.399 There was one high school. So if you were a 82 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.720 high school athlete and you wanted to play football in 83 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.519 high school, you had one option. Now, the coach was 84 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.360 fine that this did not happen where I grew up. 85 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.959 But I want you to picture this. What if my 86 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.160 coach in high school? What if the high school football 87 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.480 coach was horrible and pretty much abusive to the players, 88 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.839 hitting them, screaming at him, doing terrible I'm not not 89 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.879 talking hard nose football things. Abuse to the players. Well, 90 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.959 that sucks. But if you live there, that's where you're 91 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.160 dad found work. You want to play football, there's no 92 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.720 other place to go. And so this coach for years 93 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.639 and years and years and years and years is cussing 94 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.279 and hitting and abusing the players, and cussing and hitting 95 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.319 and abusing the players, and they never leave because they 96 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.759 can't ever leave. Then, and this actually happened in Bozeman. 97 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.279 Another school comes, the population grew the town. I think 98 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.680 they voted on it. I don't know what all the 99 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.600 details were, but another high school pops up. You're the 100 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.199 head football coach at Bozeman Senior High. You've only ever 101 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.160 coached one way, you only know one way to do it, 102 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:49.480 and you haven't ever really suffered a penalty for doing 103 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.160 it that way. Because the kids could never go anywhere 104 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.199 and now it's the only way. You know, So as 105 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.360 kids who don't want to be abused, who don't want 106 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.480 to be hit, who don't want to be cussed at, 107 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.920 as they go to the high school across town, you 108 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.000 still just keep cussing and beaten and cussing and beaten 109 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.240 and cussing and beaten until you've completely ruined the football program. 110 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.800 The mainstream media, the large When I say mainstream media, 111 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:22.079 let's be specific the large news organizations television and print. 112 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:27.720 That's ABC, NBCCBSCNN, New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times. 113 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.319 We can go down the list the major media publications. 114 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.000 They for decades in this country were the only show 115 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.639 in town, the only show in town. My buddy Klay 116 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.600 Travis had a great, great little find, research find yesterday, 117 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.120 and I'm going to paraphrase because I don't want to 118 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.639 go digging through my phone, but Halk Hogan died. As 119 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.040 you know, we talked about it last night, and he 120 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.199 talked about HAULK Hogan when he quote wrestled Andre the 121 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.879 Giant at WrestleMania that it had more people watching it 122 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.759 then I forget what Clay said. It was something crazy 123 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.279 like the Super Bowl, the World Series and everything else 124 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.000 combined this year or something like that. The numbers were astronomical. 125 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.600 Does that show how big wrestling was? Yes, but it 126 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.920 also shows there weren't many channels. Everyone watched nickcause that 127 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.439 was all that was on. We all watched the same things. 128 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.040 America's evil communist press, including things like The Colbert Show, 129 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.279 the Late Night Show. All these people came up and 130 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.600 made their bones in an environment where people didn't have options. 131 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.600 If you sat down at night on my TV. When 132 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:38.519 I was a kid, I'm forty four, I'm not ancient. 133 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.559 When I was a kid, our TV had one of 134 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.039 the little click click click knobby things. I think there 135 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.919 were thirteen fourteen channels on the knob. We didn't even 136 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.559 get that many. You didn't have options. If you were 137 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.320 watching TV at ten o'clock at night. The Late Show 138 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.799 was one of like three things on. And the people 139 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.279 who create eight our media for the major corporate organizations, 140 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:09.120 they're used to being able to abuse you any way 141 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:14.240 they want, because, just like the abusive football coach, you 142 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:19.360 can't go anywhere you don't have options. The problem for 143 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:25.840 them is people do now. People have many, many options. 144 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.480 You have endless options. You're sitting here right now. Maybe 145 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.720 you're listening live on Friday night, maybe it's the next day, Saturday. 146 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.679 Maybe you're a podcaster. But how many options do you 147 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.639 have for things to listen to? Endless? It's endless. You 148 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.879 could be listening to any kind of music on demand immediately, 149 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.799 even any specific song. If you want a specific song, 150 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.879 pull up your Spotify and open it up. Any podcast 151 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.120 on any subject. You could be listening right now to anything. 152 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.720 What that has done is it's put more power in 153 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.200 the hands of the consumer who can change the channel. 154 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.639 The people who make the media. They're not used to 155 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.600 living in that environment and they haven't adjusted. If you 156 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.879 are in charge of CBS, the second you see your 157 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.320 late night comedy show start alienating half the country, you 158 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.720 don't wait. You fire him immediately. Nope, boom gone, people 159 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.480 will leave, people will leave. They kept him on. Now 160 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:36.840 everyone's gone. Let's talk a little America history. Are we militaristic? 161 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.440 Hang on? It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, 162 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.080 A wonderful ass doctor Jesse Friday. And remember we're still 163 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.960 sitting here live bringing you amazing entertainment. And you can 164 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.720 email the show Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Don't 165 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.960 shake your head, Chris, I was only talking about me. 166 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.039 Believe me. I wasn't including you in that at all. Jesse. Actually, 167 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.679 this guy says, dear large handed beaver slayer, I have 168 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.440 heard you refer to past civilizations as warriors and militaristic, 169 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.639 for example the Spartans, some Native American tribes, and the Mongols. 170 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.720 It made me think, will history remember America as a 171 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.840 warrior nation and a warlike culture? Our national love of guns, 172 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.279 like the Germans calling the Marines devil dogs when they 173 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.679 first saw them shoot, our first instinct to bomb and 174 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.759 invade and fight. I always like to say we are 175 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.840 peaceful and right, but the proof is in the taste 176 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.440 of the pudding or whatever you said it was. What 177 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:48.960 say you, oracle? His name is Mickey? By the way, 178 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:56.919 are we militaristic people? Are we a war culture? All right? First? 179 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:02.559 Let me ask you something. Is it bad? If we are? 180 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:10.480 Now let's talk about this is as men, probably not 181 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.399 as much women, but some women for sure. As men. 182 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.039 When we talk about historical cultures, what ones do we 183 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.840 like to talk about when it comes to Indians American Indians, 184 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.519 do you like to talk about the Pueblo or do 185 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.159 you like to talk about the Commanche. I know, yeah, 186 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:38.000 but we don't talk about the peaceful ones. We talk 187 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:43.919 about the warlike ones, right, So okay, so we're fascinated. 188 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:51.240 Let's set that aside. Morally, were the Commanche wrong and 189 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.879 the Pueblo were right? Now? Anyone who knows anything about 190 00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:00.919 the Comanche Indians and their love of torture, they were 191 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.120 huge on torture and rape. I'm sorry to put it 192 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.720 that way, but they just were rape and torture and mutilation. 193 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.720 And so you look at a society like that and 194 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.519 you think, Okay, those obviously are the bad guys. I'm 195 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.799 not saying you're wrong. But if a nation is militaristic, 196 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.519 if the Pueblo are out there making their living by 197 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:31.200 hunting animals, raising corn, things like that, are they a 198 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.879 morally better culture than the Lakota, the Sioux who ruled 199 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:42.000 the planes and simply took whatever they wanted from anyone 200 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.000 they wanted to take it from. Are the Pueblo better? 201 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:58.080 Is Athens a better culture, a more moral culture than Sparta. 202 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.360 It's something to think about, because, as you mentioned, I 203 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.480 like to think of us as peaceful. Well, does that 204 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.840 mean we're right? Are all militaristic cultures wrong and all 205 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:18.240 peaceful culture is right? I don't know that. I look 206 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.919 at they Let's look biblically, Hey, Chris, we'll stick with 207 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:28.279 the Old Testament. Let's look biblically the Israelites when they 208 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.879 were settling into the Old Promised Land? Did they come 209 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:40.519 bearing gifts or did they come bearing the sword? They 210 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:46.840 sent in spies, they fought wars, wiped out armies, eradicated 211 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:54.000 entire cities. Were they wrong? I certainly wouldn't say that. 212 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.039 I don't know that all war is wrong. I don't 213 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.440 know that all conquest is wrong. And I don't know 214 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.960 that all peace is right. Just because you I've never 215 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.799 been in a fight. Really you think that's good. I 216 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.279 don't know that being nice is correct. Now you want 217 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.440 to be kind. There's two different things. But I don't 218 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.720 know that being nice is correct. I'm not saying you 219 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.720 want to be mean, but is nice right? So back 220 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:34.039 to your question about America. No, no powerful empire that 221 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.559 I can think of. If you want to hit the 222 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.840 what are the top powerful empires at any point in time? 223 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.639 You could talk about the British Empire. You could talk 224 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.919 about the chemitted Persian Empire. You brought up the Mongols. 225 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.440 Let's talk about the Mongols all the way back, the Assyrians, 226 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:58.360 all the big Chinese ones. Tell me the large empire, 227 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:04.200 the large, powerful empire that is thought of as peaceful. Oh, 228 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:09.240 the Romans almost forgot the greatest civilization ever. Can you 229 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.159 tell me a large number one power or vying to 230 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:16.919 be number one power on the planet that is considered peaceful. 231 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:23.039 They're all looked at as militaristic because you only gain 232 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:31.240 power in wealth and resources and things like that through conquest. Historically, 233 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.679 that's how it's done. You want this gigantic chunk of 234 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.799 ground that we now know as the United States of America, Well, 235 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.159 I've got bad news for you. The Brits want it, 236 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.039 the French want it, the Spanish want it, and it's 237 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.879 occupied by a bunch of Indian tribes. If you would 238 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.600 like it, you better pick up a weapon and go 239 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.320 take it, because there's no other way. Oh. I think 240 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:55.080 we'll be looked at as militaristic in warlike, and I 241 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.000 think that will make us just like every other large 242 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.519 empire in history. It is Jesse Kelly's show on a 243 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.119 Wonderful Fantastic Friday, Member if you miss any part of 244 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.839 the show, you can download the whole thing on iheard 245 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.839 Spotify iTunes. You know, freedom is not free. Let's get 246 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.759 back to some questions, Jesse. If you were at a 247 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.160 baseball game and caught a foul ball, would you give 248 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.359 it to a kid? No, absolutely not. I would keep 249 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.000 it for myself. And if I saw any kids that 250 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.680 caught a foul ball close to me, I would take 251 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.319 it from them. Jesse. I was just listening to you 252 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.400 talk about wages and what people think they deserve versus 253 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:35.960 what they are actually worth. I'm a journeyman lineman. Pay attention, 254 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.759 young men, listen to this making sixty seven dollars an hour. 255 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.599 Sixty seven dollars an hour. I feel uslignemen deserve and 256 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.720 are worth much more than that. The very few people 257 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.599 like me who are physically and mentally able and willing 258 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.440 to do work with high voltage electricity every day, should 259 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.880 get a much higher wage. Doubt it or double it, 260 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.519 and I might start to consider tolerating it. Without people 261 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.000 like us, the world would be back to the Stone age. 262 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.200 What is your opinion on blue collar guys who actually 263 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.279 keep the country running making way less money than those 264 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.799 who sit in an office and risk nothing. Please don't 265 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.599 say my name. Love your show, look forward to it 266 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.799 every day, recommend it to all my friends. Okay, well, 267 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:36.359 I'll put it this way. Risk risk, The physical risks 268 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:44.400 involved in a job have virtually nothing to do with 269 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:49.000 what you will be paid nothing. You may want that 270 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.240 to be the case, but if that was the case, 271 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.079 then cops had make a million dollars a year. They don't. 272 00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:00.440 What determines what you will be paid is to scarey 273 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:05.799 of your marketable skills. Now, you, as a journeyman, lineman, 274 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.279 you have a valuable skill, and it is not that common. 275 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.759 That's why you make sixty seven dollars an hour and 276 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:20.480 not seventeen dollars an hour. However, it is not so 277 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:25.200 rare that you're going to make three hundred dollars an hour. 278 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.359 That's just the reality of life. But I have some 279 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.599 excellent news for all you men listening who work with 280 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.920 your hands, and as you know, that's my background, so 281 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.839 I respect it. If you hang on and keep doing 282 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.720 a good job, your wages are going to go up 283 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.920 in the coming years, and they're going to go up astronomically. 284 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.079 Do you remember what Micro told me when we had 285 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:55.519 that Micro interviews from last week. The week before, I 286 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.799 forget what it was. Micro, the great Micro of micro Works, 287 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:00.640 Micro came and joined me u on the shokeause he 288 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.480 knows I'm always talking about trades and I'm a construction guy, 289 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.960 so he came on the show. Mike Rose said, for 290 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.519 every five guys who work with their hands who are retiring, 291 00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.400 there are only two to replace them. Now, you can 292 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.599 point out that that's bad for the country. We're not 293 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.440 going to have enough those guys and all that Stuff's true. 294 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.839 That's fine, but you know what else that means? What 295 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.839 don't we just talk about what determines your wages? The 296 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:34.400 scarcity of your marketable skills. Those skills you have, they're 297 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.359 going to get a lot more scarce. They're getting more 298 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.240 and more scarce by the day. Now. I know that 299 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.039 may not be a comfort to you today on Friday, 300 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.920 with the day on Friday, July twenty fifth, that doesn't 301 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.119 increase your paycheck. But you keep working in this field 302 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.440 as everyone else retires, your wages will go up, up, up, 303 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.640 up up. But I just want to go out again. 304 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:07.599 The risk of your job does not determine your wages. 305 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.319 You compared it to people who sit in an office 306 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.160 all day. And I admit, and I've had these thoughts 307 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.160 before when I always worked those jobs. Well, this isn't right. 308 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.119 That freaking guy's sitting in the office in the air conditioning, 309 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.240 in his khakis. He went to lunch, he had lunch 310 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.240 catered from some nice place like Red Lobster. I'm out 311 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.839 here sweating, slaving, I'm cut, I'm miserable, I'm tired. How's 312 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.119 he making more money than me? His skills are more scarce, 313 00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:38.839 that's how Also remember this, you blue collar guys who 314 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.119 are listening. I know it sucks to work out in 315 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.119 the heat and the cold and the and I know 316 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.160 working outside in the elements parts of that can suck badly. 317 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.400 Believe me, I've done it all. I understand. It's also 318 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:58.400 it can be a healthier life. You know, you know 319 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.240 those Europeans live longer than I. You know they all smoke. 320 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:05.119 Did you know that? It's unbelievable how many of these 321 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.000 people smoke. Every time I go over there, everybody's just chainsmoking. 322 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.960 Yet they're all skinny and they live longer than us. 323 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.839 How's that possible? They don't sit as much as we 324 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.119 sit it's a sitting that kills you. You may look 325 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.519 at the guy with the office job and think to yourself, Wow, 326 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.359 that guy, he's really lucking out. You're gonna live longer 327 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.039 than he is. Jesse, can you explain why all the 328 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.880 biggest cities in the USA are sanctuary and are not conservative? 329 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:35.720 I grew up in Orange County, California, moved to San 330 00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:42.319 Diego in ninety seven. Both were red. What happened, Well, 331 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.200 that's a long complicated answer, but I'll tell you one 332 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:52.160 of the main things that happened is politicians they make 333 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:57.319 cities a haven. They try to make cities a haven 334 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.119 for the poor. Generally, how that goes if you're poor, 335 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.279 that's not unique to America. If you're poor, even historically, 336 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.119 you are going to gather in poor areas of a city. 337 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:12.319 Gives you more access to things like food and things 338 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.400 like that. Well, as the cities get poorer, as you 339 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.960 get a poor element economically, that is going to come 340 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.119 with an increase in the crime element. Do not email 341 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.079 me and tell me you're offended. I don't give a crep. 342 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.599 Everyone knows what I just said is true. With more 343 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.079 poverty comes more crime, certainly more violent crime. More street crime, robbery, 344 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.759 right murder that always comes with more poverty. What do 345 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.519 people do when they make money? What is one of 346 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.440 the ultimate things about making money? As you get older, 347 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.400 you live where you want to live. That's why the 348 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.680 suburbs exist in every city. You have all these blue cities, 349 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.920 and then you have a safe suburb full of homes 350 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.759 that are nice and gated communities outside of this. Why 351 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.759 does the suburb exist there? Because the second you make 352 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.759 enough money to escape that crime, escape the bad school, 353 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:10.880 escape the filth, you pack up the family and you 354 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.279 leave town. Well what's that to if all the good 355 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.279 people pack up and leave New York City and they 356 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.640 all move to Long Island, which is pretty much what's happened. 357 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:21.720 They all move out of Manhattan and they all move 358 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:24.960 out to Long Island. Yes, your individual life is better, 359 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.440 and I've done this. It's not like I live in Houston. 360 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.160 I would never live in Houston. I'm out. But your 361 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:34.160 life's better. My life's better. I live in a safe 362 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.200 neighborhood full of the guns, where the kids play in 363 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.880 the streets and everyone knows each other and everything is wonderful. 364 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:43.640 But the net negative is Houston gets worse. New York 365 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.920 gets worse because the good people the second they can 366 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.960 afford it, they pack up and leave town. So it 367 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.799 becomes one of those self licking ice cream cones where 368 00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.240 it's just the spiral that goes down and down and 369 00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:58.559 down and down and down. The good people leave, more 370 00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:00.759 poor people come in. The good people leave, more poor 371 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.359 people come in. When you combine that with the fact 372 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.799 that these despicable politicians know their power in these big 373 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:14.119 cities is handing things out to those poor people because 374 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.839 that's where the voting block is, it's just it's very, 375 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.799 very difficult to overcome. Jesse, I'm having such a hard time. 376 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.160 I live next door to two sisters and a brother 377 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.160 in law, all Democrats who've drunk the kool aid and 378 00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:32.480 cannot see the garbage mainstream media is feeding them. I'm 379 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.880 losing what I have in common with them, and periodically 380 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.640 I have to bite my tongue on the snide remarks 381 00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:42.039 that come from them. They refuse to even think about 382 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.759 considering a different point of view. Do you have any wise? 383 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:53.279 This is your daddy talking advice. Well, first, I am 384 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.119 not going to be dismissive over the fact that that 385 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:58.519 hurts when that's family when it's your sisters, you know, 386 00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:02.599 you grew up together. It's your sisters, they live close by. 387 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.559 Surely everybody should be close and stay close, right, and 388 00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.440 you feel them separating from you and it hurts. So 389 00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:11.920 I'm not being dismissive of that, but i will talk 390 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.440 to you about that because a lot of people go 391 00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:19.039 through that in a moment. The Jesse Kelly Show. Final 392 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:21.839 segment of The Jesse Kelly Show. But don't worry, we 393 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:28.000 will be back on Monday. I might. I want to 394 00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:32.000 go ahead and stress might. It's going to depend on 395 00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.039 the family schedule a little bit. This weekend. I might 396 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.680 be ready to do the Kamakazi history show. I've been 397 00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.519 promising you. 398 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:43.519 I'm wanna make sure I do it right, Chris. The 399 00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:47.160 other takes some reading, take some research. It takes some 400 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:53.000 time to do it right. But that might be coming Monday. 401 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:55.359
