Medal Of Honor Monday featuring U.S. Army World War 2 vet Lt. Vernon Baker

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from Wry The.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show
on a Monday, and we'll get into some of this
DC corruption, mad about the Trump appointments, talk some emails
and stuff this hour. The Haitians are apparently fleeing Ohio.
Maybe they're taking your dog with them. All that and
more coming up this hour, But we need to first

(00:27):
do what we always do every single Monday at this time.
We do Medal of Honor Monday. We take a Medal
of Honor citation and we read it. We remember the men,
we remember their deeds, and we hold these stories up
in front of the next generation because children need to
be taught, taught what you should be. If you don't

(00:50):
guide them and say, look, that's the kind of man
you want to be, and they'll flutter in the wind
and go who knows where. Speaking of children, my oldest
son James just got the studio and that's a special
privilege to me. He's supposed to be doing homework, of course,
but he's sitting there stuffing his face with the snacks
we have in the office as per usual. Anyway, let's

(01:11):
do Medal of Honor money I remember you can email
us suggestions. On top of love hey, death threats, and
everything else, you can email suggestions into Jesse at jesse
kellyshow dot com. Jesse as a recovering Army recruiter in
North Idaho. About fifteen years ago, we found out we
had two Medal of Honor recipients living in our AOR.

(01:32):
One was Lieutenant Tommy Norris of the or the UDT
Man who was involved in the rescue of a downed
Air Force Lieutenant colonel in Vietnam nineteen seventy two, from
which the movie Bat twenty two was based. The other
was Lieutenant Vernon Baker, a Black soldier fighting in World
War two Germany. You should say, I'm not about to
read Tommy Norris's story, but if you are, well, we've

(01:56):
done that one before, Chris, haven't we. I know we
have what we've done the Tommy or A story. Tommy
Norris was a Navy seal and it's an amazing story.
I know they made a movie about it. I actually
never saw the movie. Don't scream at me. I never
saw the movie, but I know the story. Well, that's
a good read. You with your sons and daughters. If
you're interested in a good medal of honor citation that

(02:17):
Tommy Norris one is really really good. He's sailing up
a river by himself while he had a little Vietnam helper,
but sailing up a river by himself undercover in disguise
to rescue a downed pilot. It's a really really cool story.
But we're gonna do the one of Lieutenant Vernon Joseph Baker,
World War two US Army, Hey, honoring those he went

(02:40):
above and beyond. It's Medal of Honor Monday for conspicuous
gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life, above
and beyond the call of duty. First Lieutenant Vernon J.
Baker distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on the

(03:02):
fifth and sixth of April nineteen forty five. At zero
five hundred hours on the fifth of April nineteen forty five,
Lieutenant Baker advanced at the head of his weapons platoon
along with company sees three rifle platoons, towards their objective
Castle Agonolfi Aganolfie. We're going to go with that, a

(03:23):
German mountain strong point on the high ground just east
of the coastal Highway in about two miles from the
three hundred and seventy seventieth Infantry Regiment's line of departure.
Moving more rapidly than the rest of the company, Lieutenant
Baker in about twenty five men reached the south side
of a draw some two hundred and fifty yards from

(03:46):
the castle within two hours and reconnoitering a suitable position
to set up a machine gun. Lieutenant Baker observed two
cylindricle who wrote this citation two cylindricle cylindrical of objects
pointing out of a slit in the mount at the
edge of a hill. Crawling up under the opening, he

(04:08):
stuck his m one into the slit and emptied the clip,
killing the observation post two occupants. Moving to another position
in the same area, Lieutenant Baker stumbled upon a well
camouflaged machine gun nest, the crew of which was eating breakfast.
He shot and killed both enemy soldiers. After Captain John F. Runyon,

(04:30):
company seized commander, joined the group, a German soldier appeared
from the draw and curled a grenade, which failed to explode.
Lieutenant Baker shot the enemy soldier twice as he tried
to flee Lieutenant Baker then went down into the draw alone.
There he blasted open the concealed entrance of another dugout
with a hand grenade, shot one German soldier who emerged

(04:53):
after the explosion, tossed another grenade into the dugout and entered,
firing his submachine gun, killing two more Germans. Gosh, this
freaking guy. As Lieutenant Baker climbed back out of the draw,
enemy machine gun and mortar fire began to inflict heavy
casualties among the group of twenty five soldiers, killing or
wounding about two thirds of them. When expected reinforcements did

(05:17):
not arrive, Captain Runyon ordered a withdrawal in two groups.
Lieutenant Baker volunteered to cover the withdrawal of the first group,
which consisted mostly of walking wounded, and to remain to
assist in the evacuation of the more seriously wounded. During
the second group's withdrawal, Lieutenant Baker, supported by covering fire

(05:38):
from one of his platoon members, destroyed two machine gun
positions with hand grenades. In all, Lieutenant Baker accounted for
nine dead enemy soldiers the elimination of three machine gun positions.
An observation post in a dugout. On the following night,
Lieutenant Baker voluntarily led a battalion advance through the enemy

(05:59):
mind and heavy fire toward the division objective. Lieutenant Baker's
fighting spirit and daring leadership were an inspiration to his
men and exemplify the highest traditions of military service. And
that's pretty freaking amazing, right, not too shabby. Before we
get to the Pentagon and other things. That's do a

(06:20):
couple more emails, Jess, Jesse, I just wanted to compliment
you on your encouragement of military personnel last Wednesday. You
have given many PEP talks to struggling soldiers, but this
last oration was just brilliant and moving and maybe your
best work. I would recommend replaying it on one of
you repeat shows, you know, when you're on one of
your sporadic walkabouts or stuck at an elevator with some

(06:43):
crazy care And hey, Jesse, thanks for making me cry
listening to you about coming home from Iraq. I'm glad
I was in the car by myself. My mom still
checks on me and prays for me, and I've heard
her and my wife's comments about how I was coming
home from a moat from how I was coming home
from Ramadi in two thousand and seven, and it still

(07:04):
breaks my heart. Thanks for your service in telling us
vets not to give up and keep trying to live
our best lives. His name is Chris. Look, I'll give
it to you straight. I lost another one this weekend.
I was not super close to him, so I don't
want to act like I was. But another marine in

(07:26):
my company, First Battalion, seventh Marines Alpha Company, I was
in Iraq with him, took his life this weekend and
I was trying to do some really really dark math.
It's not the kind of math you want to do.
But I'm about one hundred percent sure. I'll call it ninety.
I'm about ninety percent sure that I have lost more

(07:50):
guys I knew to suicide when they came back home
than I did in Iraq itself. At this point in time,
so many of them have decided to end at all
that I've lost more in peacetime America than I did
over there. And I'm never going to stop having this

(08:11):
talk with veterans. And if it's something that bothers you,
I'm telling you right now I'm never gonna stop because
I know exactly what you're going through. I have been there.
I still have bad dreams, I still have bad moments. Thankfully,

(08:32):
only by the grace of God, I came through most
of that, and I'm fine now. But if you are
not fine, and you're sitting there and you're miserable and
life sucks and no one understands, I get it. I
know exactly what you're talking about. I am just going
to remind you again. They I'm not saying this to

(08:55):
be nice. You know what a jerk I am. I
would never be nice to you. You are the most
important citizen we have. The most important citizens we have
are the people who love this country so much they
will fight for it and have fought for it, so
they have good perspective. And now they're back home, and
you may think you're done. That's the last cool thing

(09:18):
you'll ever do. No one understands. I'm just gonna disappear
into this bottle of pills or bourbon and then maybe
one day I'll kill myself. No, no, we need you.
The United States of America needs you. We don't need
you in uniform anymore. You're done with that. Look, nobody
needs fat Jesse in uniform. Anymore. I'm gray, I'm bald

(09:39):
and can't do it anymore. Probably hurt myself. I'm not
needed in uniform anymore. You're not needed in uniform anymore.
There are many, many, many, many many ways to serve
a country. Raising a family of decent people is a
way to serve a country. Being a productive involved citizen
is a way to serve a country. Get your butt
down to church, get involved. It's a way to serve

(10:01):
a country. All these things improve your country, all of them.
Do You are not finished? I promise you, I swear
on my life. God will take you home when it's time.
You don't need to hit the fast forward button at all.
If you're still breathing, you are still breathing for a reason.
All right, keep going. Let's do let's do some government

(10:25):
corruption before we get back into more of these emails. Gosh,
that got heavy. I didn't mean for that to get heavy.
It is is as heavy as ten boxes that you
might be moving. What, Chris, it was maybe twenty boxes.
It's this unit of measurement. Chris, I can't believe we
don't have Shila Jackson Lee anymore. She's dead. Now that's

(10:45):
heavy too. What Chris, she is just telling you. I
wonder if she was in any pain or she died.
You know, Relief Factor it can take the pain out
of your life. Do you have this daily nagging pain?
Does your knee herd every day? Maybe you skip that walk,

(11:05):
Maybe your back's bugging you so bad you don't go
play golf with your buddies anymore. Do you have a
sixteen year old son who shows up at your studio
and eats all your important snacks. These are all the
pains we go through, and Relief Factor can take most
of these pains away naturally. One hundred percent drug free.
It's a supplement. You take it every day and there

(11:26):
is nothing to lose because all you buy is a
three week kid It's nineteen dollars and ninety five cents.
Try it for three weeks. If that pains still where
it is, don't ever order it again. Almost everyone does
for a reason. One eight hundred the number four relief
or Relief Factor dot com. We'll be back. This is
the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show

(11:51):
with me world famous oracle Jesse and American woman Jewish
producer Chris. And we also have producer Corey here is well, Chris,
we could mix in the guess whose version of that song.
I'm not saying it's superior. I think Letty did a
good job. I think he did a good job. What

(12:13):
I know, they are Canadian, But that's kind of that's
kind of the essence of the song. Chris. You have
this effeminate Canadian who's very polite, and there's an American
woman and she loves freedom so much that he can't
handle how much she loves freedom. Chris, don't you understand
that's the essence of the song. The American woman is

(12:33):
too much for his Canadian spirit. What they are Canadian?
You're right, you know what, You're right. We'll stick with
Lenny Kravitz. I'm off. I'm off of it. Screw the guests, who, Chris,
we don't celebrate foreigners here on this show. All right,
shut up, focus, let's deal with the World War three
nuclear winter that Di Bide administrations is about to rain

(12:56):
down on us. This is going to be about the
long range miles. But I need to back up for
a minute and kind of repeat something I had brought
up last week. We had a little conversation last week
about the military industrial complex as it's known. But we're
just going to discuss the business of war, what makes

(13:17):
war such a big business. So let's set America aside
for a moment. This is all the history of the world.
Let's go back to Assyrian times. So we're back in
the ancient Assyrians, okay, and the Assyrian king decides he
wants to march off to war. He's gonna go let's

(13:37):
see Chris is here. He's going to go fight Israel.
He's going to go take some Jews as captive. That's
what he's going to do. And the Assyrians did that,
I should note. But he wants to go do this.
You have any idea how much money exchanges hands, because look,
you're an Assyrian king. First you have to raise an army.
If you already have one, fine, but they're costing you

(14:00):
well fortune. You have to spend the money to raise one.
You have to go find the men. You have to
train the men. This costs. People have to be paid.
This costs. Okay, you've got them raised, you got them trained.
You have to outfit them. Where are you getting your shields?
Shields don't magically fall from the clouds. You need shields. Okay,
you got the shields. Now you gotta make them spears.
You gotta make them swords. Okay, sounds good. Now they

(14:22):
have to eat. How are you gonna feed them? Think
about how many sheep or cattle or whatever the diet
happens to be at the time. But it probably wouldn't
be cattle based over there. But you understand how much
you would need of that. The vast quantity of stuff
you would need. All this is money. You would need,
advanced planning. You're gonna have to have people in your

(14:42):
government plan things out. It becomes a war campaign, even
in ancient times, is a gigantic exchange of money. Large
piles of money have to switch hands because money is
what pays for all of it. War has always been

(15:04):
extremely expensive. It has always been the exchange of money,
lots and lots and lots of it. Now to where
we are here, I brought up the little poisonous circle
last week. I just mentioned it again briefly. Here we
have the defense industry in this country. The Raytheon's, the Boeings,

(15:26):
these types. Again, it's not that you don't need a
defense industry, but we have this huge defense industry, where's
their head at. Well, they want to make weapons, They
want to develop and make weapons for the United States government,
and they want those fifty billion, one hundred billion, two
hundred billion dollar contracts to keep coming. Whoa what guarantees

(15:49):
those things keep coming war everywhere forever. Well, we need
more of this, We need more of that, We need
more of this war's money for them money. Let's go
to the other part of the circle. There is three
parts of it. The other part of the circle is
the Pentagon. Generals and admirals. We don't live in the
era anymore where flag officers send themselves, send their sons

(16:12):
to die and themselves to die. Flag officers never hear
a shot fired in anger anymore. They're never in danger
at all. War is wonderful for them if you don't
have to die, if you don't have to see it
and smell it and see people you love die. Well,
war means promotions, it means adventure. It means promotions. You
get to write a book, and then half the time

(16:34):
they leave the Pentagon and go work for one of
the defense contractors and get rich. There is no downside
to war. If you're in the defense industry or you
are a general or an admiral. It's all upside, it's
all money, it's all power. And then let's go to
the third part of that. The politicians, Well, they don't
send themselves to die, and they don't send their sons
to die. If they do happen to let their son

(16:56):
or daughter join, he of course will be in the
jag coars or some where they won't ever get shot at.
But for the most part they're safe too. What do
they get out of it? They get to pretend to
be patriots we will fight forever in Ukraine, and they
get huge campaign donations. I brought up fec gov, fec

(17:16):
dot gov. I'm sorry fec dot gov last week. It's
the campaign website where you can look at the campaign
donations campaigns make to others and campaigns receive. Go look
up your senator. Don't care who it is, Republican Democrat,
Go look up your senator and tell me how many

(17:38):
defense contractor donations you see in there, and why are
they getting those donations because in exchange for the donation, hey,
we are going to get that one hundred billion dollars contract. Right.
War is huge business, has always been and will always

(17:59):
be because it involves the massive exchange of money. Now,
let's talk about what the Biden administration just did and
how scary it is. Is the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday. It's been an amazing Monday. I do not forget.
You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

(18:19):
You can leave us a voicemail eight seven seven three
seven seven four three seven three. So that's that was
a little talk about the business of war. It's a
huge amount of business. And let me ask you, how
many times have you picked up the newspaper or turn
on the news at night and you see some horrible
senseless crime where someone got mugged for his watch or

(18:42):
fifty dollars in his wallet. People will kill. They will
kill for the smallest amount of value if it benefits
them monetarily. Now, did you see what dropped this weekend?
The Pentagon failed an audit. They can't account for over

(19:04):
eight hundred billion dollars with a b eight hundred billion gone.
Now what does that mean. Well, I'm here to tell
you my wife is an auditor. That's what she used
to do. There's no such thing as eight hundred billion

(19:26):
that goes missing. Eight hundred billion, got stolen, got hidden,
and maybe they washed away all the evidence of where
it went, but you don't whoopsie can't find it. Eight
hundred billion dollars. A lot of people, a lot of

(19:47):
them in that little circle, politician, defense contractor, admiral, politician,
defense contractor, general. A lot of people have gotten very
very very very very rich on America's def fence industry,
and a lot of people are getting rich as we speak.
With this war in Ukraine. It is flooding people's demo

(20:11):
or bank accounts domestically and internationally. We've heard the stories
of the international corruption of Ukrainian generals all of a sudden,
purchasing yachts. We know how much corruption there must be domestically.
Because Rampaul simply offered an amendment, Hey, could we at
least track the money we're sending over there? And it

(20:33):
was rejected. Can you believe something like that was rejected?
They said, nope, we can't not rejected. No, not acceptable,
we don't want to track anything. Now I have three
different headlines, report Pentagon officials plot against Trump's America First Agenda,
headline US permission to fire missiles on Russia. Headline, Russia

(20:58):
vows appropriate response if Ukraine uses long range missiles. We
have a new Trump administration coming into power. We are
two months away from having an actual regime change. Donald
Trump has said repeatedly, over and over and over again,
this war needs to end, and it will end. And

(21:20):
I heard him speak about this personally when I went
to see Tucker at that event he did over in Phoenix,
and Trump very correctly was lamenting the mass slaughter of
Ukrainian and Russian young men by the hundreds of thousands.
They are dying over there. But the demons who run

(21:40):
the United States government don't want that to stop, you see.
And it's more than not wanting it to stop. They
are highly, highly invested, financially invested in keeping that going forever.
There's no negative if you're not the one dying, none whatsoever.

(22:00):
Now that brings us to the decision about the missiles.
Remember this, Chris, dig this up if you can find it.
Joe Biden was on camera right when Ukraine started. Joe Biden,
old and useless and mean and corrupt as he is.
Joe Biden was getting pressed by the press. I didn't
do that on purpose. It had just worked out really well.

(22:22):
He was getting pressed by the press on why he
wasn't giving Ukraine more things such as long range missiles
they can fire inside of Russia. He was pressed about
it over and over and over again, and Biden flat
out told the media he said, you guys, understand what
you're talking about. You're talking about World War three, that's

(22:43):
what you're talking about. If I do this. What did
he mean by that? Why would he say that? Remember,
proxy wars are fought as proxy wars for a reason
because huge powers understand that if they clash with each other,
it can end civilizations. We're talking about civilization destruction, complete wipeout.

(23:06):
So instead you have a big power with a vested
interest here and a big power with a vested interest there,
then instead you'll just fight a proxy war. Hey, we'll
just kind of We'll give you guys some guns, and
the other big guy's gonna give his guys some guns,
and you fight it out. We Russia's been fighting it directly.
We've been fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. Everyone knows

(23:27):
we're handing them weapons ammunition, since we announce it like
morons all the time, but always with the understanding you
don't take it too far? Why don't you take it
too far? Because, as Joe Biden says here, this is
what can happen.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
The idea that we're gonna send in offensive equipment and
have planes and tanks and trains going in with American
pilots and American crews. Just understand, and don't kid yourself, no.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Matter what you all say. That's called World War three.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Okay, let's get its great here, guys. Today I'm announcing
that the United States.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
But I do you even drop that? That doesn't matter?
Even an old decrepit idiot like Joe Biden knows if
you do this, you are crossing lines that can't be uncrossed.
Today the Biden administration announced, Oh, go ahead, guys, here's

(24:24):
some long range missiles. Fire them into Russia. There's not
a second way that I can tell. I've been racking
my brains about it all day. There's not a second
way to look at this. You see, the Biden administration
is doing everything it can to make sure war doesn't end.

(24:46):
Wrap your mind around how soulless and evil you have
to be to be bending over backwards to make sure
a war doesn't end. Every One wants war to end right,
or everyone should want war to end. War is horrible.

(25:12):
But the people who lead the defense industry, our government,
and the Pentagon are so highly invested in this they
will watch hundreds of thousands of people die and they
won't be emotionally moved in the tiniest bit. They'll do

(25:33):
everything they can to ensure it gets worse and worse
and worse, to the point of risking nuclear war. Of course,
Russia is going to respond in some way that is
absolutely terrible. What would we do if we went to
war with Mexico and Russia started handing them hypersonic missiles

(25:58):
to fire at La and New York City? What would
we do? Exactly? You have no choice. Once the weapons
start landing inside your borders, Well, now you have to
treat it as if you're being invaded by a foreign power.
And the only reason they'd be doing it now is

(26:18):
to try to handcuff Donald Trump and the incoming administration
who wants this thing to end. That is how sick
and evil these people are who run these industries. And
that brings me to this a thought I had. You know,
Elon Musk and Vivek, they've been very publicly talking about
this Department of Government efficiency and how they're going to

(26:41):
clean things up, and they've been speaking loudly about this
audit the Pentagon failed, and how we have to clean
this up and we have to fix it. And I
applaud both of them for whatever efforts they're going to
put into this. It is the right thing to do.
It has me unreasonably excited. I am excited. I will
also say this, however much security Vivek and Elon have,

(27:02):
it is not enough. Elon Musk is famously really, really,
really rabit about his personal security. From what I understand,
it's top notch, top top notch, as good as it
can possibly get. It better be because if you start taking
away an eight hundred billion dollar paycheck from industries like this,

(27:22):
I hope you are ready. I'll tell you that in
speaking of Elon in Vivec, I have a little prediction.
Then we'll do some emails and then we'll get to
McConnell and the appointments and things. Before we do that,
let's talk about chocked. Let's talk about getting ready for life,
not World War three. Although some testosterone won't hurt if
we go into World War three, you know we're gonna

(27:44):
need a lot of that, and being as how we've
lost fifty percent of our testosterone in fifty years, I'd
say we should probably do something about it. Guys, if
you're listening to the sound of my voice, you probably
have low testosterone, not because you're low testosterone naturally because
we drink extra It's in the freaking water. It's awful.

(28:51):
have a little prediction here. The Department of Government Efficiency.
This elon Musk and Vivek thing Vivek. He's out there
saying all the right things and sounds really good. And
like I said, you know my thoughts on him, but
I'm happy he's there.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I'm happy he closing down departments. We expect mass reductions.
We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. We expect
mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government
that are bloated. We expect massive cuts among federal contractors
and others who are over billing the federal government. So yes,
we expect all of the above, and I think people
will be surprised by I think how quickly we're able

(29:27):
to move with some of those changes. Given the legal
backdrop the Supreme Court is given.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Sounds great to me. Yes, I'm I'm all about it.
That's sounds free. That gone right, Yes, sounds good. I'm
gonna make a prediction You're probably not going to love
and I hope I'm wrong. Chris, go ahead and write
this one down. You know, I I'm always hesitant with everybody.
I was hesitant from the very beginning with Elon, but

(29:56):
I've really really been so impressed by the risks he
is taken and personally financially to stand against this evil
regime and go all in to try to stop it.
I'm very, very impressed. I certainly would not call myself
a fan, because I'm not really fans of other men,
but I'm very impressed, extremely impressed. I'm glad he's on

(30:16):
our team. I'm glad he and Biveck are in there
to cut government and cut agencies and eliminate bureaucracies and
things like that. I don't know how long we're gonna
have Elon. This is what I mean. A guy like
Elon Musk, by his nature and by necessity, needs control.

(30:43):
He just is one of those guys, and richest guy
in the world has all these companies and runs them
with ruthless efficiency. It wasn't just Twitter, which is now X.
Every place he's gone, you're fired, you're hired, you're promoted,
this and that, you go there, you do this, doing this.
Things get done quickly, and they get done the way
Elon Musk wants them to get. This effort by Elon

(31:08):
in Vivek, which is amazing and it's exactly what we need.
I do not think it is going to go as
fast and smooth as everyone seems to think it's going
to go because the system, as I said, they're not
running for the hills. They haven't all retreated. They're battening

(31:31):
down the hatches to protect well. I just mentioned the
Ukraine scam, are our military deal d scam expand that
to the entire federal government. They are going to be fought.
Any effort to eliminate these agencies, eliminate these jobs is
going to be fought tooth and nail by the system.
The Communists have spent decades filling up this government with

(31:54):
evil demons to try to ensure their agenda will essentially
be written into law for ever. They are going to
have judges blocking things. This is going to block them.
This lawsuit, that lawsuit, and my prediction is Elon Musk
is not going to last that long, call it six

(32:15):
months to a year. And this is not a rip
on Elon at all. I'm so grateful if he left tomorrow,
I'd be grateful. I think he's going to get frustrated
with the pace, frustrated with the slump, with the swamp,
possibly even bored because things aren't moving the way he
wants them to move. What do you mean this? I
just fired these two hundred people. Wow, Elanya have to

(32:38):
understand the Federal judge and the Fifth Circuit already stepped
in to studed. I bet you Elon is going to
burn out on this faster than you or I want
him to. Just a prediction, just a guess. Vivek will
not remember. Vivek is in this to be president in
twenty twenty eight. Vivek is going to ride with this
bad boy until they close down the department. Vivec will

(32:59):
be there. My prediction, one I very much hope I
am wrong about my prediction is we are not gonna
have Elon for that much longer. And if we don't,
glad we had him while we had him. And it's
not that I think he's going to leave him become
our arch nemesis or something like that. That's not what
I'm saying. I think a guy like that is going
to frustrate very very very quickly with how quickly the

(33:24):
system digs in and pushes back. We have all, well,
I shouldn't say we have all. I'm not gonna put
words in your mouth. I've already caught myself daydreaming about,
wait a minute, we're really gonna get rid of two
million government employees and entire departments. Yeah, I'm sitting I'm
just sitting there cheering, and I'm thinking, Oh, this is
gonna be so great. Trump. I can't believe it's gonna

(33:45):
be Donald Trump who's gonna finally reduce the size of
the government. And maybe we'll get some budget cuts. And
I've let my mind go there, and maybe you've already
let me your mind go there, but I know I
definitely have, and don't you're wrong. I think they will.
I think they'll make a lot of cuts. I think
they'll do a bunch of good. I think I have
probably gotten too far ahead of myself and how quick

(34:06):
and easy this is going to be. We act as
if Vivek and Elon are just gonna walk in and
snap their fingers and Trump will be behind them. You're fireding,
you're fighting, you're firing with the FBI's gone, and everything's good. Eh.
If it was that easy, someone else probably would have
tried it too. And just ain't really that easy. Dear

(34:29):
Michael Vick of the Hamster World, I got a new
job recently. I've been doing more long drives. Name your
top three gas station snacks for me to mow down.
His name is Bradley. First greatest gas station snack ever.
Go get the nacho trays. There's gonna be a nacho
bar there. Ignore the garbage nacho chips. Don't rub your face, Chris,

(34:52):
and go get some hot cheetos, flaming hot cheetos. Pour
them in the nacho cheese tray and squirt some of
that high end gap gas station nacho cheese on it.
Gas station nacho cheese with flame and hot Cheetos is
as good as it gets. Second, if you're on a
long drive, body armor. I've really grown to love these

(35:14):
body armour things. They're like gatorade, only someone told me
once they're healthier, and you know how conscious I am
about my health. So you can wash down your flame
and hot cheetos with nacho cheese with a body armor.
That's one or that's two three. I would normally say
a dorito or something like that. But the problem is

(35:36):
for a drive they get the cheese gets all over
your fingers and then it's all over the steering wheel.
The gas station taketos or roll ups every gas station.
Christo's what I'm talking about now that you buy them
in they have like chicken and cheese, and it's just
this little roll up and it fits in the wrapper.
You can drive and come ala the thing down while

(35:57):
you're driving and have clean hands. Top three gas station snacks.
Nailed it. Now, let's talk about Mitch McConnell and the
resistance to the appointments in some illegal immigration talk. Next.
