Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show. On a Wednesday, we have Clay Martin
gonna teach us how to survive a disaster. About a
half hour from now, I'm gonna talk a bit more
about the Port stuff. We'll do a bunch of emails.
I'm a little behind on those and I know asked
doctor Jesse. Friday is coming, so I need to knock

(00:37):
those out. We'll do a little Man on the Street segment. Well,
we'll listen to one about Dome voters versus Trump voters.
All that and more still to come this hour in
this show on The Jesse Kelly Show. Now, we talked
a bit about the port strike last night. We've been
talking about the port strike, the long shortman stroke like

(01:00):
along the East Coast. And for those who maybe didn't
hear or are just now tuning in, this is kind
of a recap of what's happening and might take what
it's been on it. This issue, the pay of the
East Coast long shoreman, has been an issue that's been
on the table for years. You need to understand that

(01:22):
this didn't happen last month. This has been three years plus,
this issue has been on the table. Now that begs
the question, why didn't anyone do anything sooner? Well, the
shipping companies, the ports, the other entities, the other side
of it. They were dealing with COVID stuff, shut down stuff,

(01:44):
and essentially they kicked the can down the road. We'll
deal with it when we deal with it. So now
here we are right up against the deadline, and the
deadline passes, and now the dock workers strike. I'm going
to once again remind you, the dock workers, the ports,
shipping things, there aren't good guys and bad guys in

(02:08):
this situation. We want every situation. This is how we're built.
I'm built the same way. We want every situation to
have a good guy and a bad guy, a good
side and a bad side. I have actually had several
longshoremen who are on strike reach out to me in
the last twenty four to forty eight hours with their side,

(02:31):
and they have very very valid points. They are way
wait way underpaid compared to their West Coast people who
do the exact same thing. That's a very very very
valid point. The docks, or should say, the ports. I'm
just gonna call it the ports because there's different entities
involved here, but the ports they have a point too,

(02:52):
Everyone has a point. There aren't good guys and bad guys.
What I have said is the leader of the longshorreman union,
this Daggett guy, he is making the doc workers, making
the longshoreman look bad. That's been my point. In one
day on Monday, when we talked about this issue, we

(03:15):
brought on Ross Kennedy on Monday Show. He broke down
the issue, the complications surrounding the issue, how it's been
a long time coming. Here's how farther apart they are.
When he broke it down, we had emails from both
sides of the spectrum. Jesse, those union guys should go
on strike, Jesse. The port is one hundred percent right here.

(03:36):
We showed up to emails the next day from all
over the map, and then the head of the long
shoreman ran to the TV and started saying things like
this and in today's world, I'll cripple you. I will
cripple you. And the next day not a single email
was supporting the long shoreman. Not one. And we had

(04:00):
a long talk last night about taking the temperature in
the room and here's something funny for you. I actually
should have told Chris to pull the audio, but I
forgot about this. No no, no, no, don't bother. You won't
find it in time. Chris. Remember last night when I
was talking about this and I was criticized in the
head of Longshorming because he was making his guys look bad.
And remember what I said why he did it. One

(04:21):
of the reasons he did it because he's used to
negotiating with the Mayor of New York City with the
Gambino crime family behind him. In this social media age,
it's not nineteen seventy five anymore. You run your mouth
like that, like hey, I'm a gangster. Oh crippay Jack.
You run your mouth like that. Then the American in Nebraska,

(04:42):
Nebraska who can't afford groceries, now he hates Longshorman and
he's never even met one because you still think you're
a gangster. I talked to Ross Kennedy again today. Ross
told me the dude has long connections to the Geni
of ac crime family and that's how he used to negotiate.
And before I even said it to Ross, Ross said

(05:03):
to me, the guy doesn't understand what time it is.
He thinks it's still back in the day. He echoed
exactly what I told you, because that's what's happening here.
This guy, just because he made the long shoreman look
bad and greedy doesn't mean the long shoremen are bad
and greedy. And I'm not taking their side either. I
need to be clear. I'm not taking a side. I

(05:24):
won't take a side. I just want everything to get
get worked out and everything to get opened up again,
because the American people are going to start to suffer.
Like now.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
It goes a few days, there won't be much of
an effect. If it goes weeks, a month or more,
there could be a very big effect. We'll definitely have
higher prices and we might have empty shelves.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
The strike could cost the economy up to five billion
dollars a day peril. Footwear, consumer electronics, home goods, decorations,
food products, you know, anything you can think of is
coming through these ports. Yeah, it looks bad. It sounds
bad when the people are suffering like that, And that's

(06:07):
your public language. I just want to remind everyone it's
a lesson for you for me too. Take the temperature
of the room, know what time it is if you're
the head of the Longshorman Union and you understand that
the costs for everyday Americans are about to go through

(06:28):
the roof. If you understand that because of your strike,
I'm not saying don't strike. It's a freaking union. That's
the way to get things done. Sometimes when it comes
to unions, I'm not saying don't strike. I'm saying when
you go to the camera, instead of they're gonna find
they pay us what they Oh, it's Jack, I'll come
my cousin Vinnie, and we'll cripple you. Instead of saying

(06:51):
things like that that make you sound like a gangster
and an extortionist and frankly a terrorist. When they can,
when they stick a can your face, what you say is, hey,
this is not what I wanted. This is not what
we wanted. We are trying to make sure we are
being treated fairly. We understand the American people are suffering

(07:13):
from this. We hope this will end as soon as
humanly possible. We want to work out a deal publicly.
That's what you say when you're trying to win over
public support. And if you want to be Johnny tough
guy behind closed doors, you want to do the gangster
thing with your gold chain and stuff like a kippa ya.

(07:35):
You want to do that kind of stuff, fine, once
the cameras are off and the doors are closed and
you're negotiating behind closed doors. He made a whole bunch
of blue collar guys who are trying to make ends meet.
He made him look like a bunch of greedy dirtballs
because he didn't know how to take the temperature of
the room. Have you heard a single public statement like

(07:59):
that from the ports? Not one. They were smart enough
to sit back and shut up. And that's a lesson
we all need to know from time to time. So
the pain that's coming is bad. Just pray they come
to an agreement, and I believe they will. It doesn't
look like they're close right now, but I believe they will.

(08:23):
And one thing I was asking Ross about this, Ross
Kennedy the Shipping Expert guide, one thing you need to
look out for. Because I was kind of peppering him,
how are we going to know? This is about the end?
He said, If you start getting word, you start hearing
rumors that they've crossed legal hurdles. I'm talking about the ports.

(08:43):
The ports have to cross legal hurdles in order to
pass the increased costs onto you onto me. I know
that's the last thing you want to hear. Last thing
I want to hear. It's certainly the last thing Jewish
producer Chris wants to hear. But as soon as they
get over legal hurdles which they have to get over
to pass the costs onto us, they very likely strike

(09:06):
a deal. Now the deal is temporary. You can't fight
the ocean. Doesn't work that way. If your real challenge
is to stop automation, you can't stop technology. It doesn't
matter how many union deals you have, doesn't matter how
many politicians you pay off. It doesn't matter if you

(09:26):
have legitimate gripes. If the gun has been invented, your
country's not going to stick with the bow and arrow.
It's just not even if you can temporarily. So no,
we prefer the bow and arrow. It doesn't work that way.
Modernize or die, and that's how it goes. And that sucks.
That's how it goes. Jesse, Oh, I'm a lifelong conservative American.

(09:53):
I love conservative radio. I'm sorry, but you have the
worst voice for radio. It's one of the most it's
one of the the most annoying out there, and your
rambling content is unlistenable. I heard you on a thirty
minute trip using Uber and it was the longest thirty
minutes of my life. Please get out of radio. You're awful.

(10:13):
So remember. Fanmail can be emailed into Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com if you want to hear more of
my Chris. What was that big word someone used one
time's melodius? Was it melodius? And we had to look
it up on the air to figure out what it meant.
If you want more of this melodious voice kind of
like a mixture between berry white and maple syrup, then

(10:35):
you have to tune in what Chris anyway, you know
what it is. It's the chalk. That's why my voice
is so sultry, because my tea levels are so incredibly high.
What you're hearing, lady, that's not actually sound waves coming
through the air. I have so much male vitality stack
running through my veins that just listening to my voice

(10:58):
can increase your tea. I've been told that I have
no scientific confirmation of that chock. However, that they kind
of do have the confirmation. Twenty percent increase in your
testosterone levels in ninety days. When you start a male
vitality stack and it is Choctober, it is officially Choctober,

(11:20):
and that means it's blowout sale time, baby Choctober. They
do this all the time. Well, actually no they don't,
but October's occasionally they'll do this. Take advantage, save some money,
Go get a subscription c hoq dot com. Promo code Jesse,
or call them, text them five zero chock three thousand.

(11:43):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Truth attitude, Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, what Chris, don't turn it off? Could you be honest? Chris,
if you weren't looking, could you have told the difference
between me? Don't nod your head before we even know
my question, Chris, could you have told the difference between
me Barry White? He says yes, but I don't believe.
I don't think he means that, So no is basically

(12:12):
Chris's answer. We're going to do some emails. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show reminding you. You can email the
show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. You can also
leave voicemails eight seven seven three seven seven four three
seven three. Although we're regretting that.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
I didn't really want to talk to you either. But
if you go to China, very often they'll give you
a Chinese mistress like Richard Nixon. Yeah, that's why he
normalized relations with China. He had a good time over there.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm not sure that voicemails were a great idea that said,
we'll be broadcasting from China next week. Anyway, let's do
some emails. Oh, I should you know. I've been doing
disaster prep. I've always done disaster prep. I talked to
you about doing it. It is important. Clay Martin's gonna
come up ten minutes from now and talk about how
normal people like you and me can do disaster prep.

(13:11):
You know how I told you the wife was at
at the big box stores stocking up on things, just basics,
just more basics, just in case this port strike's bad,
just just just stocking up. Well, that kind of went
the other way because the boys. On top of other
basic necessities, the boys had requests. I don't know why
we would ever ask them for things, but one of

(13:33):
the things, two of the things they demanded practically was
top ramen. The packages of top ramen and cans of
beef ARNI. Yes, top Ramen and Beferoni are both delicious.
I'm a huge fan. All that's fine, but we decided
to acquiesce to those demands, purchase some Ramen and some

(13:56):
Beeferoni to go along with everything else. What do you
think the boys wanted for dinner last night? I come
home and the boys are eating top Ramen and be Feroni.
I said this is for emergency purposes only. This wasn't
so you can rate the Bferoni cupboard anytime you want Bferoni.
There's no emergency food left by now. I'm sure by

(14:17):
the time I get home we'll be flat broken out. Anyway,
we're gonna do some emails. Jesse, what's up with your
hoodie sweatshirt? I thought you lived in Houston. It's ninety
five degrees today. You're not in Ohio. His name is Randall.
He's talking about after the debate last night. I told
you I was gonna go live on YouTube and do
like a ten minute YouTube live thing with my quick

(14:37):
reaction stuff. And I did. It's at YouTube dot com.
Slash at Jesse Kelly DC. I know it's freaking mouthful,
it's awful, but I did that last night and I
was wearing a hoodie sweatshirt. You should understand something about
me as we move forward here. I am a hoodie
sweatshirt aficionado. I have a car heart one that's a

(14:59):
zip up. I have some fancy fruit frew when that
I got in a ski town. I'll get to that
in a moment. I'm gonna when I tell you that story,
Chris is not gonna do well. He's gonna lose his mind.
I have a million normal hoodies. I like hoodies, and
I try to keep my house cold. I like to
keep the house cold so I can walk around in

(15:21):
a hoodie. So I had a hoodie in the house
because I kept the house cold. As far as the
fancy schmancy one, most of my hoodies are obviously basic.
Ab and I we had to go do this political
thing in park City, Utah. You ever been to Park City.
I'd never been to Park City. I've only been once,
the only time I've ever done it. But it was
this fancy political event with all these fancy rich guys,

(15:42):
and I was there with my winning personality, if you will.
I of course didn't check the weather, and I'm a
light packer. You know this. I don't check bags. The
Kellys do not check bags. Unless it's more than a week,
there will be no bag checked. Figure out a way
to in the freaking carry on. So I didn't really

(16:03):
take the whole Utah thing into account. We show up
in Utah. It's freezing. Temperature drops, it freezes. This wasn't
in the middle of the winter. I should have known this.
I grew up in the rocky mountains. I just didn't
think about it. I'm so used to the warm weather.
Now we start walking downtown. Well, this is a fancy,
rich persons ski town. Great food, I should note, but
it's expensive. I'm freezing. I finally find this ski store

(16:26):
and I pop in this ski store and they got
all the goggles in davave And I said, I don't
need any of this fancy stuff. Do you have any hoodies?
And the guy says, oh, yeah, yeah, we got great
ones over there. I go, I grab the hoodie. I
don't want to spend a bunch of money. Just give
me a hoodie. I'll get bye with just a hoodie sweatshirt.
I put it on. It's the most comfortable thing I

(16:48):
think I've ever put on in my entire life, and
you know what that should have been the tail right there,
because you get what you pay for. I'll be honest.
My car heart that soft. It's really not that soft.
This thing was amazing, amazing. I just wanted to just
sit there and just rub it on me. I wish
I'd put that differently, but you understand what I mean.
It was amazing. I didn't I didn't think to ask

(17:10):
how much it was. I didn't put two and two
together that. I'm not in a normal place. I'm in
Park City, Utah. I'm surrounded by rich people. I go
up to the counter, Hey, Chris, how much do you
think the hoodie was? One hundred bucks? Is what Chris said?
Up more two hundred and twenty dollars. I know. I

(17:32):
don't think I've ever owned a two hundred and I know, Chris,
it's cloth. You should see Chris's face right now. I
don't think I've ever owned a two hundred and twenty
dollars piece of clothing of any kind in my life,
not a winter coat, not a My hunting boots, I
would say, are probably the most expensive thing I've ever
bought in my life or work boots used to buy

(17:52):
red wings and things like that two hundred and twenty
dollars for a hoodie, and it's so comfortable that I
wear it everywhere, and it's the only one I'll ever own,
So I treasure it and I protect it. It means
more to me to my children. Speaking of which, let's
talk about preborn. Let's talk about saving the lives of babies.
Abortion obviously came up last night during the debate. It's

(18:15):
a terrible conversation. But one thing I did like, at
least the theme I got from jd Vance last night,
was he seems to understand this is a cultural issue.
We have to change the culture. It's not just about
changing the laws or overturning laws. This is a cultural issue.
How do we change the culture around abortion? How do

(18:37):
we convince young women it's not a compass cells, It's
not just oh, it's an inconvenience. How about you get
drunk on spring break? Ultrasound Ultrasound has saved the lives
of more unborn babies than any law, than any politician.
And that's what Preborn gives young ladies who are about

(18:57):
to abort their babies. They give them I'm an ultrasound
in almost every time. Do you know almost every time
when they hear the heartbeat, they choose life. And maybe
the best part, you can save a baby's life and
deduct it off your taxes. It's tax deductible. Just go
to preborn dot com slash Jesse and give the one

(19:20):
ultrasound cost twenty eight bucks. Look, if you can give
eight bucks, give it, you can give eight thousand, give it.
I don't care what you give. But it's tax deductible
and it saves a life. Preborn dot Com slash Jesse
sponsored by Preborn Clay Martin. Next, what, Chris, we can
make jokes.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's fine, you get that right. The Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday, a
hub day. And as promised, I promised, and I am
delivering one very own Clay Martin. Everyone who listens to
this show regularly knows who Clay Martin is. Former Marine
Corus Scouts sniper recon Then that traitorous piece of trash

(20:05):
left and went to the Army to become a Green Beret,
where he killed the enemies of this country for a
very long time. And now he teaches us how to
survive in various scenarios Clay. We're gonna have to have
you sell some books tonight. But before we get to those,
what do I do if my home washes away? What
should I be doing? Now? We have a port strike,

(20:28):
we have floods, we have hurricanes, we have god knows
what else. I'm the average Joe Schmoe citizen. What do
I need?

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Man?

Speaker 6 (20:36):
Things?

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Are?

Speaker 6 (20:36):
Things? Are not good? Are they? No?

Speaker 2 (20:39):
No?

Speaker 6 (20:40):
This is uh.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
This has been a while because this is actually our
second disaster in a row where the old school idea
of prepping of just you have a bunch of stuff
and stick in your house doesn't work. I'm referring course
to this one where houses wash way and at East
Palestine Way it was a chemical spill and you, I mean,
your stuff at your house was absolutely no good to you,
So nothing else.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
This reemphasizes the.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Point of everybody needs, no matter how much good stuff
you have and cool stuff. Every ne's a little emergency
bag with the stuff in it that you can actually
live out of it if you have to. Prioritizing water.
That's a huge problem in North Carolina right now, and
floodwater is actually one of the hardest things to visit.
The filter is that you don't know what their bodies.
There's chemical runoff stem trustful and gas and if you're

(21:23):
flipped over that kind of stuff. Uh, so you're gonna
have some water procurement. And the next thing you got
is you just started thinking about what what is my plan?
What am I going to do if this whole thing
goes sideways?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Okay, so let's let's focus on the bag for a moment.
I figured you we were going to talk go bags
a little bit. Uh. Everyone has different opinions on this.
I wanted yours. What kind of size are we talking about?
You say, water procurement? Are we talking about pills?

Speaker 6 (21:54):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Those little straws that can really strain freaking muddy water.
What what what the Clay Martin go bag? To make
sure he can drink, he can eat, he can what's
in your bag?

Speaker 5 (22:06):
These bags will be in and out of fashion, says thing,
you got to have one those. In my opinion, I
think it needs to be small because the thing is
I want it to be something that I can pick
up on a crisis. I don't want like the giant
rock like we carry the Marine Corps with, you know,
one hundred times of stuff that in a sleeping bag
of garbage. If I'm not gonna get that, all right,
I got toddlers, I got a wife. It's going to
be fast that I have to go. So I want
a small bag, preferably you know, under twenty pounds. Definitely

(22:30):
under twenty pounds. I prefer something like those. It was
called life straws, and I believe Sawyer makes those, or
an MSR Mini catadi'm pump.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
That's the best in category.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Having like I dine or bleach or something like that
is fine, except again, in a crisis like this one,
those won't do anything for chemicals. The straws will the
Sawyer or the excuse me, the life straw will be
the sawyer Mini's will and that's going to be I
think the biggest issue.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
So that's the one that I want the next day.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
And one that want a little bit of wikis and chewies,
like some some energy bars or you know, something high
calorie content. There's a couple not anything crazy, and this
is one that people both think about, especially like that
in the Huston area where you guys are at. I
want some kind of warming layer two if I have
to leave, and you know, pull waters especially I'm gonna
be wet, it's probably gonna get cold that night, and

(23:23):
then you know, after that, a little bit ammo and
a little bit.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Of you know, some of that effect, and you're pretty
much good to go.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Okay, So I want to talk about the food for
a moment. You mentioned a couple energy bars things like that.
All right, So what do I do if I can't
get anywhere? My home washed away? I have my bag,
I got me, got the wife, got a couple of boys,
a couple energy bars. How am I eating from here?

(23:50):
And I should know that I have the life straws.
I do want to reamphasize what Clay Martin just said.
Life straws are amazing. To stay filter out everything for food?
What's my plant? What do I do? I'm stuck in
the mountains of Appalascia. I don't know where to go.
What do I do?

Speaker 5 (24:03):
We can actually go a long time without food. It's
not fun. I mean with little kids especially, it's not fun.
But there is no like squirrel trapper anything like that's
really gonna save you. Especially we're talking about like an
area devastated by for animals. Run two the next thing, man,
I think the star of this show. Really, for this
Northfield Alinta hurricane has been Starlink.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
I hate to be a.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Technolog I'm an anti technol legy guy most of the time,
but this has definitely made me reassess having a waterproofed
you know, Mini Starlink in my bag, like a hundred
bucks that's you know, that's a great insurance policy. I mean,
they have really shined this.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Time, Mini Starlink. And for those unfamiliar, again we're talking
with Clay Martin Green Beret author. He writes a lot
of books you're about to have to buy to teach
you how to survive. Clay Martin Greenbray teacher, just how
to survive in these scenarios. Okay, Starlink, I agree, warming layer.
You mentioned a warming layer, but but I've got a

(25:00):
pack now, I've got a star Link in it, I've
got life straws in it. I've got Ammo in it.
As you well know, that's not light. What kind of
warming layer are we talking about here? Am I stuff
on a hoodie sweatshirt? What's going in there?

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Something either wool that you can wring out and retain
warmth even if it's wet, or this is actually one
of the places where like a polyester does better than
most things. Actually, some of the synthetic layers will do
better even than wool when they're wet. So I want
something that's light and thin if it's wintertime, if it's
getting to somewhere that's winter like obviously, you know, plus
that up with something a little bit that should be

(25:35):
like my bi yearly.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
You know it's October, so I.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Live in the mountains.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
I'm going to stick a thicker warming layer there.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
For everybody else it can be just a wind proof
shirt for most of the year, which you can get
those that compressed down to about the size of your hand,
or do you want to go one step above that,
like a like a synthetic light jacket, preferably with.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
An outer shell.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Communications you already mentioned starlink. Obviously that's going to tie
into a lot of different things. But radios, look what
walkie talkies? Is this something I need to invest in
care about? Is it a complete waste of time? I
know we have huge range problems, especially if you're in
the mountains. What do I do for communications?

Speaker 5 (26:15):
I really think, like right now, unless they decide to
jam it or we go to some crisis where satellites
don't work anymore, starlink is by far the better choice.
Radios are cool, except you have to have somebody to
talk to. They might help you get an SOS signal
out if they haven't be flying, you know, helicopter looking
for people that are that are you know, need need help.

(26:36):
But as we've seen right now, there's not a lot
of government air working to try to find people putting
out SOOS signals.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
So man, it's a it's a it's a it's a
wild step.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
But I feel like the starlink is highly prioritized over
radios right now.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, I have a couple of really really stupid questions,
and we're friends, so you can just mock me in
front of the entire country. That's fine, But I really
I think about this stuff. I woke up thinking about
this stuff. Do I need a raft? And I mean
that I look at these pictures of people on their homes,
the floodwaters arising. I realize it's not ideal. It's certainly

(27:14):
not where you want to be. Do I need that
in my home? Something inflatable blows up, we can float away.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Look for you in Houston.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yet we have the fortunate benefit that my mom's complete lunatic.
The least she started bringing up to me like years ago,
like why don't these people have rafts under the bed. No,
it's actually a very good point. If I lived in
somewhere that's flooding with a high priority threat, yes, absolutely, absolutely,
no question. I would want to have some kind of
you know, semi durable. Probably not like the most expensive

(27:43):
white water rafts they make, but you know, something that's
not going to break the bank, that yes, I can
float away in if I have to, because you know,
it's not a great option to be out in the
floodwaters and a rubber raft, but it's works to be
in your house if it's all the way underwater.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
You know.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
There's also a reason that, especially after Katrina, people will
with the Ana started keeping axes in the attic. Every
almost every house in Louisiana has an axe in the attic.
What do you do if you you know, here in
your house the blood war start coming up. Now you're
in the attic, How you gonna get out?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
A lot of people died that way during Katrina.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Oh gosh, can you imagine the terror that's that's.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
Brutal, that's tear dark. Oh God, is horrible.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, that's that's not That's not the way anyone else
wants to go. Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up with
this question, and then I want you to tell us
your survival books, which obviously, as you well know, I'm
aware of heat. You mentioned a warming layer, but it's
not always. These terrible things don't always happen when it's
warm or where it's warm. I'm here in Houston, which

(28:38):
is approximately at the entrance of Hell. If one of
these things happened and I'm out there, I'm God forbid
stranded family out there. I know about drinking water. What
what sunscreened? What do I do? Is there something to do?

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Sunscreen's honestly not a bad option as well as perhaps
you know, for you and all, and bring your family
one of those super light long sleeve UV shirts like
the Fisher Medius. They wait not saying you can wing
the water right out of them, but that will keep
you from, you know, having a super bad sunburn that
might actually kill you.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I was considering letting Clay Martin go, but now I'm
going to ask you on the air in front of everybody,
can you do one more segment. I want to talk
a little bit about Iran, Israel, books, things like that.
You stick around down nice, all right, we will be
back with some Clay Martin speaking of Iran, Speaking of Israel.

(29:35):
You heard the comments I played last night from that
Yahoo What is coming over there? Could be nuclear strikes.
I don't mean a nuclear weapons strike, a strike on
Iran's nuclear facilities, could be strikes on Iran's navy. I'm
hearing a lot of chirping about that, but this is
something that is not it's not de escalating, it's escalating.

(29:58):
You want to help somebody wan go to bomb shelter,
help support a bomb shelter, emergency food, emergency water. You know,
we're not the only place with these struggles right now.
I f CJ's over there doing it. They need your help.
They don't do it magically, they only do it with
your help. Call them eight eight eight four eight eight.

(30:19):
If CJ the need now is well, obviously it's greater
than ever. I don't have to convince you. The missiles
are raining down eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ
or go support IFCJ dot org. We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
It's the Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday. We
are back for segment Numero Uno, Chris, I know you
don't know this. That is wait a minute, numero dose aitherway, Chris,
that's Mexican. For two, it is segment number two with
Clay Martin or Green Beret friend teaching us how to survive. Okay, Clay,

(31:03):
Now we're gonna move away from survival for a moment.
Iran Israel. Israel seems to be beating the living crap
out of everybody around them over there. This is a
tiny country of eight million people. How exactly are they
doing this well?

Speaker 5 (31:20):
And it helps a lot of your neighbors are incompetent.
For one, Look, I love Israel and they you know,
they're good, good friends over there, But that has always
helped them. Everyone else around them is more incompetent than them.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
Buy a large margin, which helps.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yes, that that would certainly help Clay. How good are
there are there Green Berets? I know that that's not
what they call them. They're SF guys. When I talk
to guys like you, although you and I've never talked
about this, they tell me they're very very good, are they?

Speaker 6 (31:50):
They're they're pretty good.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
In fact, there's there's some things they specialize in, UH
that they're better at than us. What well, like this
whole patriot yat where they you know, killed basically all
of Hesbol's top uh basically command structure.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
With that with pagers.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
They have always been so good at the intelligence and
the covert ops side, partially because they all speak the
language Hebrew and Arabic are are very similar as well
as they grow up around both, so it's not hard
to find speakers of both that are that are fluent
at it. As well as they seem to have a
better plan than we do always for like long term
shaping operations they are, I mean, they're fantastic at that stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
What about what about Maritimes stuff, whether they're I mean,
people would think about urt seals or whatever it may be.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
The seal equivalent. I think that's my call.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
I can't I can't pronounce the Hebrew names that well.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
But they're very They're very good too.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
I mean they were doing like dive into assassination things
back in.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
The eighties and doing a good job at it. I
mean they practice a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Okay, so Iran, this is not a small country. It's
not a small military. Technologically, they're not Israel, but they
look pretty inept and weak right now? Are they inept
and weak?

Speaker 5 (33:11):
No?

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Actually they're not.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Of all the other people, of all the other people
in the Middle East, I wouldn't want to fight after Israel.
It would probably be be Egypt and I Ran, and
it would be a toss up of which of those
two I didn't want to fight. I Ran is actually
pretty competent.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
Their own version of Queen Berets are very good. That's there.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
They're killing a lot of those all around Israel right now,
but that's because they're out there and they are. They're
actually pretty incredible themselves. What's happening right now, man, I
think we're seeing I Ran kind of tilted hand towards
what they're actually capable of. I haven't got a good
bda on the missile strikes from last night, but it

(33:53):
kind of shows. It looks like the striker earlier this
year where they used that weather balloon.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
There's a bunch of cheap rockets and stuff.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
What they were doing was mapping the template of Israel's response,
and then last night they used that template and actually
hit them where it hurts. So I think this is
escalating in a way that nobody wants to see, and
I think we might see some some first line offense
from from.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
I ran pretty soon.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
That's that's why I asked the question. I see a
lot of preemptive celebrating, and I get that because Israel
has win after win after win after win. But Iran
is not some useless patsy without troops and without resources
at all.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Correct, Absolutely correct, And they can now thanks to a
current administration, kind of lean on Iraq as they're as
an entire approximation too.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Each way, I rack like a fIF them. I ran now.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
So they have a lot of fighters, a lot of territory,
a lot of a lot of actually ability to take
their own fingerprints off of things and use somebody that's expendable.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
None of this is good, Okay, yeah, no, this is
all terrible. Okay, Clay, Things do get terrible. And you,
after your life of killing people, have moved on to
a life of writing books, which is actually hilarious and
awesome to me, and they're amazing. But setting aside your
fiction books like Wrath of Whendigo, you've written a couple

(35:20):
how to manuals for people like me for dumbed down
normal people like me, giving us instructions how to survive
certain scenarios. Please discuss them.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
The first one is Concrete Jungle. It was written specifically
for people that live in cities, which is not a
great place to be, but there are a lot of
us that do. So that is the book that is
for you, and that's the starting point. The second one
is called Prairie Fire. And I wrote it actually right
before the twenty twenty election, and it kind of looks
like it lines up exactly where we are right now.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
It's what to do.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
There's like a weird contested election and nobody knows who's
actually running things, and then things beside it gets spicy.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Well, it's not like something like that could ever happen here.
But however, for either of those if either of those
things are you, if you live in a city, if
you live in a country city, Concrete Jungle or or
rural Prairie Fire, He's Clay Martin. They're all on Amazon
and every other Dagne place. He's freaking best selling author. Now, Clay,
my brother simplify and I appreciate.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
You, brother, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Clay always gives you the dirt doesn't he did you
know Iran had elite special forces troops. This, this is
what my concern has been. And I voiced some of
that last night. Everyone's over everyone right now, we're cheering, Oh,
look at Israel. Ah, they're killing all these guys. They're

(36:43):
killing all these guys. So Hamas is gone, hes Bolaod's gone.
But remember that talk we had last night about how
wins can become losses. Iran backed into a corner is
a significant military power. Are they're gear is older, They're
not as smart as Israel. They're not, as he explained,

(37:05):
they're not, but it is a big, lumbering bear that
can inflict damage. And that's why I wanted him to
come back for another segment and just kind of give
us a more sober reality of what's going on. All right,
that's enough foreign policy stuff, that's enough survival stuff. Look,
those books really are amazing. I have them, Chris has them.

(37:27):
They're really really good, and they're really instructive, and they're
for normal people. You know, he doesn't write them for
green berets who know how to survive. It's for you,
it's for me. Highly recommend but it's your call. Look,
I'm nerding out on more survival gear at this point
in time. All Right, we still have an hour. It'll
be awesome. Why Because I'm here. Hang on,
