Speaker 1: Is The Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday. As we cruise through
Speaker 1: the end of the week, we are going to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about artic frost and things being illegal.
Speaker 1: We have a funny little analogy, pretty appropriate about politicians
Speaker 1: handing out things versus taking things away. Why I don't
Speaker 1: take phone calls somebody is fully radicalized and once they
Speaker 1: know if he's half a communist. Ah, that is so
Speaker 1: much more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly's Show. I wanted to begin here because it touches
Speaker 1: on something we addressed earlier this week. Artic Frost. Just
Speaker 1: I know you already know, but artic Frost is that
Speaker 1: FBI operation that was launched against Republicans. They used the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, and the Republicans that had a problem
Speaker 1: with it, including obviously Donald Trump, they used it as
Speaker 1: an excus use to essentially run an operation against Republican senators,
Speaker 1: against activists on our side, groups like Turning Point USA.
Speaker 1: They used it as an excuse to gather intelligence and
Speaker 1: attack their political opponents. It's one of those things you
Speaker 1: read about and if you have any sense of justice
Speaker 1: at all. You say to yourself, Oh my gosh, anybody
Speaker 1: who even flirted with this has to go to prison.
Speaker 1: You can't use the FBI against your political opponents. You
Speaker 1: can't just you can't just grab the donor lists of
Speaker 1: major conservative organizations. You can't do that. This shouldn't be
Speaker 1: allowed to happen. How could this happen? And now that
Speaker 1: it happened, who's going to jail? This is These are
Speaker 1: the things I say when I read this stuff. I
Speaker 1: know it's what you say too, But I got an email,
Speaker 1: or not an email, was text messages, and I cannot
Speaker 1: and will not elaborate on who it is from. I
Speaker 1: may not have any integrity, but I am the last
Speaker 1: human being on the planet who does believe in privacy
Speaker 1: and protecting people's information. I protect yours and don't give
Speaker 1: your name unless you say so. I got a text
Speaker 1: from someone who would know, and that's all I will say.
Speaker 1: And this person informed me, and I read it all
Speaker 1: to you that nobody's probably going to go to jail
Speaker 1: for arctic frost because none of it was technically illegal.
Speaker 1: Remember you, well, don't you have to get a judge
Speaker 1: to sign off? Sure you do. They went to Judge Bosburg,
Speaker 1: that communist judge who's been giving out all these injunctions
Speaker 1: against the Trump administration. Clearly just a communist activist there
Speaker 1: on the court designed to smash Republicans and protect Democrats.
Speaker 1: Who do they go to to get approval for all this,
Speaker 1: Judge Boseburg. So anyway, this email said, Jesse, you mentioned
Speaker 1: due to info from your sources, it is highly unlikely
Speaker 1: there will be people going to jail for Arctic frost
Speaker 1: because they quote did nothing illegal. Is this because of
Speaker 1: the Patriot Patriot Act, which, if I understand correctly, allows
Speaker 1: the president to declare certain people or groups of people
Speaker 1: to be terrorists without any justification. If not, why is
Speaker 1: what they did legal? So and so okay, So it's
Speaker 1: not only the Patriot Act that is part of it.
Speaker 1: But I've given out this credit before and I'm going
Speaker 1: to give it out again. When nine to eleven happened,
Speaker 1: Americans like you and like me were saddened and they
Speaker 1: were outraged, and we started to learn more and more
Speaker 1: about Islamic jihad and their ongoing war against the West,
Speaker 1: and we have three thousand dead Americans on our hands,
Speaker 1: and the panic on it. It was just awful, just awful,
Speaker 1: And in our outrage, we did something that is the
Speaker 1: most human thing in the world. We looked to the authorities,
Speaker 1: we looked to the government, and we said, somebody do something. Hey,
Speaker 1: three thousand Americans just died. You better do something. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do, What are you gonna do to
Speaker 1: the people who did this, and what are you gonna
Speaker 1: do to make sure this never happens again? What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? And as we have discussed before, we
Speaker 1: had this discussion many times during COVID, that exact moment
Speaker 1: is the moment throughout history that dooms civilizations, the moment
Speaker 1: where the people tell the politicians do whatever you have
Speaker 1: to do, just do something, take care of it. Just
Speaker 1: make sure we're angry, we're sad, you go handle it.
Speaker 1: It dooms people. And in response to nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: as we sifted through everything, wait a minute, they're over
Speaker 1: here in our country taking flight lessons. We gave these
Speaker 1: people flight lessons. What the hell could you? As we
Speaker 1: learn more and more, the federal government began to expand
Speaker 1: its domestic powers. It began to expand those powers. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what we need to do is we need to uh,
Speaker 1: we need to be able to spy on American citizens
Speaker 1: if they're terrorists. Well, you may be against that now
Speaker 1: that we're far enough down the road, but if it's
Speaker 1: right after nine to eleven, if it's the year two
Speaker 1: thousand and two, that probably sounds pretty appealing to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sounds good, let's do it. Okay, Well, maybe you have
Speaker 1: enough sense in that moment to say, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: that sounds like the kind of thing a tyrannical government
Speaker 1: would abuse at some point in time. We have to
Speaker 1: have some kind of safety check on this, right, to
Speaker 1: which they responded, Oh, of course, of course. You know
Speaker 1: what we'll do. We'll have a special court, affize a
Speaker 1: court in this special court, it's gonna have special judges,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to sign off on all this
Speaker 1: domestic spying stuff. This way, it can't be abused. You see.
Speaker 1: You just get a judge who has to sign off
Speaker 1: on it, then we'll be fine. But history doesn't lie.
Speaker 1: It didn't take the communists long to figure out if
Speaker 1: we want to deploy the federal government, the forces of
Speaker 1: the federal government against our political enemies, we have to
Speaker 1: first fill up the courts with our judges. Committed communists
Speaker 1: who wear judges robes. And then we have to classify
Speaker 1: our political opponents as terrorists, as communists have always done
Speaker 1: throughout history. Not Republicans, not conservatives, not anti communists, not
Speaker 1: people on the right, Terrorists, terrorists, domestic terrorists, domestic terrorists.
Speaker 1: Do I need to play for you. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do it, but do I need to play for
Speaker 1: you a montage from the four years of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: where everybody from Biden to Dome, to Christopher Ray to
Speaker 1: the Merrick Garland, all of them domestic terrorism, domestic terrorism.
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's from the whities, it's the
Speaker 1: white supremacists. It's white supremacist domestic terrorists, domestic terrorists, domestic
Speaker 1: Why was that such a common term, over and over
Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. You heard democrats
Speaker 1: say domestic terrorists, domestic terrorism. What was the angle behind it?
Speaker 1: Because you've never met a white supremacist in your life,
Speaker 1: and you probably never will. What was the angle? There
Speaker 1: was an angle. The angle was quite simple. We created
Speaker 1: long ago. We created laws that allowed our government to
Speaker 1: go after domestic terrorists. We created judges that had to
Speaker 1: sign off on such a thing, and you know, we
Speaker 1: had no problem when it was some isiskuy in Michigan
Speaker 1: who was getting ready to shoot up a school. Ah,
Speaker 1: sounds good, it looks like it's working well. But frankly,
Speaker 1: it was only the Ron Paul Libertarians who were forward
Speaker 1: thinking enough to see, Hey, you guys know the federal
Speaker 1: government's going to use that on innocent people one day, right,
Speaker 1: you know, the federal government they're going to create a
Speaker 1: January sixth style situation and then throw out a dragnet
Speaker 1: where they hunt down innocent Americans who maybe sauntered through
Speaker 1: the capital for years. You know, the federal government's going
Speaker 1: to hunt down school board moms with all this right,
Speaker 1: calling them domestic terrorists. Did you know the FBI had
Speaker 1: a meeting when moms were getting angry at school board meetings,
Speaker 1: and that meeting it involved which terrorist threat label to
Speaker 1: put on patriotic American parents who didn't want their kids
Speaker 1: reading tranny porn in the library. So much of this
Speaker 1: stuff is evil and legal. Because we myself included, because
Speaker 1: I was a young man who was all about this
Speaker 1: hunting down domestic terrorists, we did not fully understand and
Speaker 1: appreciate that when you give the federal government power. Eventually,
Speaker 1: evil tyrants will find a way to use that power
Speaker 1: against their domestic political opponents. The CIA operates domestically now
Speaker 1: that is completely banned. Central Intelligence Agency was knee deep
Speaker 1: involved in the operation against President Trump. That's a frightening
Speaker 1: place to be as a country. Let's move on. But
Speaker 1: why don't I take phone calls? We'll do some other emails.
Speaker 1: Some guys radicalize, so much more still to come. It
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday. Remember you
Speaker 1: could email us your love, your hatred, death threats Jesse
Speaker 1: at Jesse kellyshow dot com. The media is very, very
Speaker 1: upset about all this grand jury stuff for John Brennan, and.
Speaker 2: Now this Justice Department wants to look at all of
Speaker 2: this again. And you know, whether they ever file criminal charges,
Speaker 2: it's going to cause people to have to hire lawyers,
Speaker 2: to have to go before grand jury's, to have to
Speaker 2: provide records. It's a lot of pain that they are
Speaker 2: prepared to impose on former government officials and others on us.
Speaker 1: And maybe that is the point. Oh, are they going
Speaker 1: to have to hire lawyers for court dates and things?
Speaker 1: I would love to talk to In fact, I have
Speaker 1: talked to the over one thousand January six ers, almost
Speaker 1: all of them just normal patriotic Americans who were financially
Speaker 1: destroyed because the federal government declared war on them. People
Speaker 1: who don't have John Brennan's bank account, James Comey's bank account.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, Chris. Some of them ended up
Speaker 1: killing themselves, losing their families, many lost their jobs, completely
Speaker 1: wiped out, many, almost all of them. You can't even
Speaker 1: pretend it's if they did anything wrong, certainly nothing that
Speaker 1: rises to the level of domestic terrorism. Some of them
Speaker 1: walk through the doors of the Capitol Building with a
Speaker 1: cop holding the door open for them. Lives destroyed. So
Speaker 1: you'll have to forgive me if the prospect of John
Speaker 1: Brennan going broke doesn't give me the weepies. In fact,
Speaker 1: I find it freaking hilarious. Jesse, why don't you take
Speaker 1: phone calls? You're probably the only talk show host who doesn't.
Speaker 1: All right, so let me explain this, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to be very very nice, as you know. I'm
Speaker 1: not what, Chris, why are you making that face? No,
Speaker 1: you don't know what I'm gonna say. I'm actually gonna
Speaker 1: be nice, unlike you. Yes, I am. So here's what
Speaker 1: it is. I do not have an important job. I
Speaker 1: am not an important person. I don't have any delusions
Speaker 1: of grandeur about what I do for a living. I
Speaker 1: do a radio show, I have a TV show, and
Speaker 1: I understand political activism is important. I do view it's
Speaker 1: being important as far as that goes. But I'm not important.
Speaker 1: You know what my job is. The way I look
Speaker 1: at my job, I have fifteen minutes with you in
Speaker 1: the car as you make dinner with the kids, maybe
Speaker 1: driving them to school or sports practice. Maybe you're mowing
Speaker 1: the lawn, maybe you're pounding nails, maybe, but whatever, you
Speaker 1: with endless options, have chosen to listen to me, and
Speaker 1: you have endless options, right you've chosen to listen to me.
Speaker 1: I have fifteen minutes with you to make your day
Speaker 1: a little better, maybe informative. Maybe you'll laugh, maybe we'll cry,
Speaker 1: maybe you'll learn something. I don't know. But teen minutes,
Speaker 1: maybe thirty, that's what I have. Do you want to
Speaker 1: listen to a phone call or do you want to
Speaker 1: listen to me? You can call anybody. You know what
Speaker 1: that phone where half of you are listening right now?
Speaker 1: How many contacts do you have in your phone. You're
Speaker 1: listening to me, Why what do you call one of
Speaker 1: the people in your contacts? Why? You know? Why is
Speaker 1: it's freaking boring. That's why phone calls suck. They're freaking horrible,
Speaker 1: and everybody knows it, and no one wants to admit it.
Speaker 1: When you have a radio show and they take phone calls,
Speaker 1: you have never once looked forward to it in your life,
Speaker 1: unless you were the person on the phone getting the
Speaker 1: phone call. When you're listening to the host, you want
Speaker 1: to listen to talk about whatever. That's what you tune
Speaker 1: in to hear. You don't tune in to hear Marty
Speaker 1: from Sheboygan talk about whatever. You don't I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Long before I did radio, I listened to it. When
Speaker 1: I was driving work in construction, I listened to it.
Speaker 1: I did the same thing you did. When they go
Speaker 1: to phone calls. Oh gosh, here we go. Radio hosts
Speaker 1: use phone calls as a crutch when they don't have
Speaker 1: anything to talk about. They can't fill three hours, So
Speaker 1: you go to the phones and you let Marty have
Speaker 1: his five minutes on the phone, brutally trying to get
Speaker 1: a point out, which he probably will never actually get
Speaker 1: out at all. I will not do that to you.
Speaker 1: I will not do that to me. It's the reason
Speaker 1: I don't have many guests. It's the reason I never
Speaker 1: take phone calls. We experimented with phone calls for a
Speaker 1: short while. Chris, when's the last time we did a year?
Speaker 1: Chris started laughing. Maybe more than a year. When's the
Speaker 1: last time we did it? I don't even remember. Were
Speaker 1: there some good ones? Of course there were On heartfelt nights,
Speaker 1: especially when we're asking funny things, there can be good ones.
Speaker 1: But overall, when I go to that, when I go
Speaker 1: to the phones, if I ever did such a thing again,
Speaker 1: what are my chances that phone call is going to
Speaker 1: be entertaining something you want? Ten percent? Let's let's be generous.
Speaker 1: Let's say it's fifty percent, which it's definitely not. Let's
Speaker 1: say it's fifty percent. Well, you're sitting there, pound of nails,
Speaker 1: you're making dinner for the kids. There's now a fifty
Speaker 1: percent chance I just dumped all over your time with me. Nope,
Speaker 1: won't do it. Done with it. Let's get a little
Speaker 1: bit more in depth and talk about someone who's extremely malcontented.
Speaker 1: It is a Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm about to again it's an ass doctor
Speaker 1: Jesse Thursday. Because I have a working tomorrow. Don't blame me.
Speaker 1: I'm about to read an email from somebody. It's very honest.
Speaker 1: I feel like it may speak to you. It certainly
Speaker 1: speaks to me a little bit on occasion. Okay, on occasion,
Speaker 1: not all the time, but here it goes Jesse. I
Speaker 1: got in a fight with a commie rat recently, and
Speaker 1: my wife gave me the stupid line, you two don't
Speaker 1: get along because you're too much alike. But I started
Speaker 1: thinking and realized that I may be the far far
Speaker 1: right version of a communist. I am definitely a malecontent
Speaker 1: I've had some tough breaks, and I'm a white male.
Speaker 1: I'm radicalized. I'm so jaded and cynical. I hate everything
Speaker 1: and everyone. If I only won ninety nine out of
Speaker 1: one hundred islands, I'd be mad. I'm ungrateful because of
Speaker 1: the thing, because the only thing I'd be grateful for
Speaker 1: would be someone punishing commies. I don't care about anything else.
Speaker 1: The only guy I want to vote for is the
Speaker 1: one who would promise to throw journalists and communists in
Speaker 1: prison who would talk openly about violence, because the other
Speaker 1: side does this without repercussions, and so now I demand
Speaker 1: it on my side, do I qualify as a communist?
Speaker 1: And he finishes it asking for a friend. I would
Speaker 1: never want bad things to happen to anybody. There's not
Speaker 1: a thing in the wrong in the world wrong with
Speaker 1: being mortified by what has happened to democrats in this country.
Speaker 1: The violence, the celebration and encouragement of more violence, the
Speaker 1: mass importation of foreigners, abortion on demand. It just it's
Speaker 1: a list of horrors. As you go down the list,
Speaker 1: the wide spa read LGBTQ demon filth that, of course
Speaker 1: now is in the schools. It's totally okay to be
Speaker 1: mortified by it, all right, It's totally okay. In fact,
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to have a righteous anger inside
Speaker 1: of you. However, anger being angry about something, there's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that, Contrary to what feminized Christianity says, it's
Speaker 1: actually even in the Bible. There's a time for it.
Speaker 1: There is a time for it. You should hate what
Speaker 1: is evil, there is a time for it. However, don't
Speaker 1: allow anger to become bitterness, and this can happen to
Speaker 1: all of us. It has happened to me on multiple occasions,
Speaker 1: especially since I started being involved in politics. I've been
Speaker 1: in politics for twenty That's when I got out of
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps, probably right about two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: probably not long, Probably about twenty years ago is when
Speaker 1: I decided to run for Congress. Probably twenty years. I
Speaker 1: got hyper political and I got involved, and I have
Speaker 1: had many moments where I've been very, very angry. I've
Speaker 1: had many moments, especially in the wake of things like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's attempted assassination Charlie Kirk's successful assassination, where I
Speaker 1: thought to myself, all right, it's time to start throwing
Speaker 1: communists out of helicopters. I've had that moment. But you
Speaker 1: need to let that moment pass for two different reasons.
Speaker 1: The first reason is for you for selfish reasons. Let's
Speaker 1: say you're a totally selfish person. You only care about yourself,
Speaker 1: your family, all right. I wouldn't encourage that, but let's
Speaker 1: say that's the truth. You're going to make yourself more
Speaker 1: miserable than you'll ever make commune if you allow this
Speaker 1: to consume you. Bitterness consumes you. It is a poison
Speaker 1: that will kill you. It will make you older, It
Speaker 1: will make you worse at everything in your life, your
Speaker 1: personal life, business. Learn to consume politics, maybe even get
Speaker 1: mad about politics, and then learn to let it go, laugh,
Speaker 1: walk away from it. I have told you this, and
Speaker 1: maybe this will help you. But this is me. This
Speaker 1: is what I do in my own life. You know
Speaker 1: how much I care about this stuff. With you and me,
Speaker 1: we talk about it every day. I care a lot.
Speaker 1: You know. I don't consume hardly end of it, Any
Speaker 1: of it on the weekend, almost none at night. My
Speaker 1: producers have learned, I don't want political texts and things
Speaker 1: like that unless it's funny. Now, don't get me wrong
Speaker 1: me Chris Corey. We're on a text exchange and it's
Speaker 1: a bunch of funny memes and things like that in jokes.
Speaker 1: But if it's Thursday night, it's nine o'clock and I'm
Speaker 1: with my wife, I'm with my kids, we're hanging out
Speaker 1: with don't text me did you say what Joe Biden did?
Speaker 1: Leave me alone? I'll find that out the next day.
Speaker 1: Leave me alone. I don't do that because I don't care.
Speaker 1: I do that because I care so much that will
Speaker 1: now affect the rest of my night with my wife
Speaker 1: and with my kids. And I've watched it happen many
Speaker 1: times before, in dark times in this country. I've brought
Speaker 1: it home with me to where my wife won't ask
Speaker 1: are you okay. I'll pace around the house. I won't
Speaker 1: sit down. I'll be restless and brooding because I don't
Speaker 1: let it go. I'm so mad about this election or
Speaker 1: what this comeback said, or what this did. And you've
Speaker 1: you've heard me pulgaskets on the radio. I don't do
Speaker 1: it often. I try not to do it often, but
Speaker 1: as you can probably tell, it's quite genuine when it happens,
Speaker 1: when I lose my freaking mind on here, it's very genuine.
Speaker 1: On those days I carry it home. It's part of
Speaker 1: the reason I don't do it. I'm not better as
Speaker 1: soon as the microphone turns off when I get in
Speaker 1: my car, when I walk in the door. But my
Speaker 1: wife can see it, my kids can see it. It's
Speaker 1: like a freaking storm cloud walked in. It's ohoh boy,
Speaker 1: here we go. And I you know, I don't go
Speaker 1: in screaming and throwing things. But I'm just not there.
Speaker 1: If politics does this to you, consume it briefly and
Speaker 1: then let it go. Let it go for the night,
Speaker 1: let it go on the weekend. If you see me
Speaker 1: on social media put something political up on the weekend,
Speaker 1: it's because I've got a little time where I'm not
Speaker 1: doing anything. I'm at a kid's sporting event and there's
Speaker 1: a long lag. I'm waiting for ab to get dressed.
Speaker 1: Have a minute, pop in, and I'll right back out.
Speaker 1: This stuff matters. It is important, our country matters. The
Speaker 1: fight we are in matters a lot. It's really really important.
Speaker 1: I'm not dismissive of that. Learn to compartmentalize. Don't let
Speaker 1: anger turn into bitterness. Don't let them, don't let that happen.
Speaker 1: Does it make you a communist? This means you're letting
Speaker 1: it consume your life. That's one aspect of it. Here's
Speaker 1: the next reason you should let it go, and this
Speaker 1: is this is important that you learn to let it go.
Speaker 1: It's not just for personal reasons. You mentioned a desire
Speaker 1: for violence. I want I want to throw all the
Speaker 1: communists in prison. I want to throw I want to
Speaker 1: throw comedies out of helicopters. I want Okay, it's almost
Speaker 1: impossible to kill your way out of a problem. It is.
Speaker 1: History proves it to be the case. And what happens
Speaker 1: is when people start trying to kill their way out
Speaker 1: of a problem, this group of people or that group
Speaker 1: of people, they have to die. It doesn't solve the problem.
Speaker 1: So they kill more, and then they try to kill more,
Speaker 1: and then they try to kill more and more and
Speaker 1: more and more and more, and there's never enough and
Speaker 1: the problem doesn't get solved. Look, that's set aside all morality.
Speaker 1: If I thought killing people would help save the country,
Speaker 1: I'd be sitting here campaigning for it. It doesn't. We
Speaker 1: are not going to hurt or kill people and save America.
Speaker 1: We are going to aggressively get involved in politics. We
Speaker 1: are going to do the blocking and tackling that wins elections.
Speaker 1: When we take power, we will arrest and prosecute criminals.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have to arrest every Democrat. That's insane.
Speaker 1: People who commit crimes, especially ones who commit crimes with
Speaker 1: their government power, have to go to prison. That is
Speaker 1: how we win. That is long term how you win
Speaker 1: and save a country. All Right, The Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 1: on a Magnificent Thursday, Remember if you miss any part
Speaker 1: of the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart,
Speaker 1: Spotify iTunes. To touch on what we were touching on
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier about young people just start seeing opportunities.
Speaker 1: This is Alex Karpls.
Speaker 3: And I think the average you know, ivy lea grad
Speaker 3: voting for this mayor, is highly annoyed that their education
Speaker 3: is not that valuable. And the person down the street
Speaker 3: who knows how to drill for oil and gas, who's
Speaker 3: moved to Texas has a more valuable profession. And I
Speaker 3: think that annoys the out of these people.
Speaker 1: I've heard this. Why are all these rich young New
Speaker 1: Yorkers collaborating with the foreigners to install a communist who's
Speaker 1: going to burn New York City to the ground. It's
Speaker 1: just revenge. How many times have I told you that's
Speaker 1: what they sell. It's the religion of the malcontent they're
Speaker 1: always selling. And people on the right always convince themselves
Speaker 1: that you'll just point out how it won't work, why
Speaker 1: it won't work. No, Yeah, free rent won't work, free
Speaker 1: buses won't work, government run grocery stores won't work. Don't
Speaker 1: you get it, No, they get it. They don't care
Speaker 1: They're not worried about what works and what doesn't work.
Speaker 1: They're worried about hurting people. What Chris Chris said, do
Speaker 1: you think when norm sees New York burning it'll wake
Speaker 1: them up? No? Of course not. No. No human beings.
Speaker 1: Human beings do not react the same way. They don't
Speaker 1: react the way that you will react. This is going
Speaker 1: to sound mean. It's not meant to be mean. It's
Speaker 1: actually meant to be a compliment. But you are very weird.
Speaker 1: Do you know that you are very weird? You are
Speaker 1: sitting on your lawnmower right now. You could be listening
Speaker 1: to Led Zeppelin. You could be listening to some history podcast,
Speaker 1: worship music. Why are you listening to me? Because you
Speaker 1: have an interest in the world around you. You have
Speaker 1: an interest in political power. You want to understand how
Speaker 1: it works. You want to discuss it with friends and family.
Speaker 1: Want that makes you odd? You are odd? And you
Speaker 1: know I hang out with normal people, as I've told
Speaker 1: you about, and they're all Republicans, and politics will come
Speaker 1: up from time to time. But if I go we
Speaker 1: just hung out for the World Series for Game seven
Speaker 1: the other night. I think there were ten twelve of us.
Speaker 1: We all gathered just to watch the game. It was
Speaker 1: really just an excuse to eat and gather and be together.
Speaker 1: And the game was on and it was five hours.
Speaker 1: I think a five hour affair. Maybe maybe ten minutes
Speaker 1: of political talk ever of any kind. They're not interested, now,
Speaker 1: you know me, I would have been happy to discuss it.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about the Yes, know that they're
Speaker 1: not interested. You're weird. I am weird. We are odd
Speaker 1: odd odd people. So normis what Norman Norma understand is
Speaker 1: what affects them at any given moment. For instance, I've
Speaker 1: been discussing the cost of things and how the Trump
Speaker 1: administration and the GOP House and Senate they have to
Speaker 1: address these prices, And a common response from someone like
Speaker 1: you or me would be, or are these people stupid?
Speaker 1: You're gonna go vote Democrats who will make everything worse?
Speaker 1: That they're gonna make everything worse? What are you an idiot?
Speaker 1: Why don't you understand? But you're weird? You know these
Speaker 1: things norm in norma, I don't know this at all.
Speaker 1: People that the squishy middle that goes whichever way the
Speaker 1: wind happens to be blowing, you know what normally blows
Speaker 1: them one way? To one way or the other. It's
Speaker 1: not Kamala Harris. It's prices. It's how their immediate life
Speaker 1: is at this moment. I have a job, I have
Speaker 1: a little extra spending cash, in fact, taking my family
Speaker 1: to the beach. Can't wait Christmas time, might get my
Speaker 1: son a new PlayStation because life's been good this year.
Speaker 1: That guy's content, and when he votes, he's going to
Speaker 1: vote for generally what's already in there, because he is
Speaker 1: content and happy. D are these are things you worry
Speaker 1: about because you know that you're weird. That same guy,
Speaker 1: he's out of work, been shopping for a job for
Speaker 1: three months now. He's embarrassed, has to go on unemployment.
Speaker 1: His wife just applied for SNAP. He had to inform
Speaker 1: his this morning. They're probably not going to get to
Speaker 1: go to Grandma's for Thanksgiving this year, and Christmas may
Speaker 1: just be a card because we're having trouble making ends meet.
Speaker 1: That guy is angry. That guy is humiliated. And when
Speaker 1: that guy walks into the voting booth, that guy's voting
Speaker 1: for vengeance whoever's sitting in there, he's voting against them.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad about Joe Biden. I can't afford anything.
Speaker 1: I'm voting for Donald Trump because screw Democrats. We gave
Speaker 1: them all the power and now I can't afford anything.
Speaker 1: We love that, We loved that a year ago when
Speaker 1: it was blowing our way. One year from now, when
Speaker 1: the midterm elections come, fair or unfair, not talking about you.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about me one year from now, when
Speaker 1: the midterm elections come. If that guy doesn't have a job,
Speaker 1: if he has a severely underpaid job now his wife
Speaker 1: is working two shifts, that guy is not going to
Speaker 1: vote for Republicans when he walks in the voting booth.
Speaker 1: He is going to take his anger out on the
Speaker 1: people he views as in charge. And you can yell
Speaker 1: the way you're yelling right now. But that's not totally fair.
Speaker 1: We don't even have the sixty votes in the Senate,
Speaker 1: but this is. But yes, you're right, I'm not arguing
Speaker 1: with you. We're arguing. We're both arguing with someone who
Speaker 1: doesn't get it and get it. People always get frustrated
Speaker 1: with don't get it people. That's the most common thing
Speaker 1: in the world, get it people that when they talk
Speaker 1: to don't get it people, you just almost look at
Speaker 1: them like, what, what did you just say why did it,
Speaker 1: and then when you try to explain it to them,
Speaker 1: they almost want to change the subject because they're not
Speaker 1: interested in becoming Get it people, it's mad n right,
Speaker 1: it's the way it is.
