WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:12.519 Jesse Kelly show. Let's have some fun on a Wednesday hopday. 2 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.239 Life is freaking grand. Put a smile on your face. 3 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.519 We have crested the hump of the week and it's 4 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.120 all down heel from gear. We have such a big 5 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.559 show today. It's one of those things. I'm about to 6 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.600 tease a lot of things, and I'm not making any 7 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.399 promises that I'm getting to everything. Here's what we're gonna do. 8 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.640 I am reluctantly because of a conversation I had this 9 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.240 morning with a congressman. I am reluctantly going to talk 10 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.000 about the Epstein stuff from yesterday, and then I'm moving on. 11 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.479 I honestly don't even feel like it, but I feel 12 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.000 the need to tell you what I know and just 13 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.640 express something, and then we're gonna move on. Hopefully that'll 14 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.640 just be a few minutes, maybe a couple segments, I 15 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.840 don't know. We're gonna talk more about affordability. We're going 16 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.359 to talk about the Communists being after your children. Will 17 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.799 of course set aside sometime to make fun of Michelle 18 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.560 Obama tracking down all these poor illegal slave kids in 19 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.040 the country. A woman got set on fire in Chicago 20 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.439 by a repeat felon emails, so much more coming up 21 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:26.920 tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, I'm 22 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.519 going to read you something. I am not going to 23 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.280 tell you who it's from because I was not given 24 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.439 permission to do so. And that's just the way it's 25 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:41.359 going to be. A sitting member of Congress. I was 26 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:48.799 texting with this guy today and he was disheartened beyond belief. 27 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.799 This guy is one of the good ones. And contrary 28 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.439 to what you and I like to believe, sometimes there 29 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.439 are some really solid people there. They're just like you, 30 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.079 they're just like me. They want to save the country, 31 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:09.120 they're there to do some good. And he sounded close 32 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.319 to retirement. I'll be honest with you, that's how crushed 33 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.319 he was. In fact, I probably don't need to read 34 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.159 it exactly what was he crushed about, because you know, 35 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.000 we had that big Epstein vote last night. It was 36 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.800 something like four hundred and twenty seven to one. We 37 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.479 had the big Epstein vote. The House voted, hey, release 38 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.599 the files. The Senate voted okay, okay, sounds good. So 39 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.599 what's the problem. Well, let me walk you through this. 40 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.439 In case you've kind of been out of the news. 41 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.719 There is a congresswoman by the name of Stacy Plasket. 42 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.080 She's a congresswoman from the Virgin Islands. I know, it's weird, 43 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.719 It's okay. Well, Democrats thought they were going to hurt 44 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.560 Trump and hurt Republicans with the release of all this 45 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:55.759 Epstein stuff. But it turns out that Stacy Plasket was 46 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:01.439 so close with Jeffrey Epstein that while she was having 47 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.199 a meeting a committee meeting, meaning she's interrogating someone, someone's 48 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:06.879 standing in front of sitting in front of her, and 49 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.719 she's asking them questions under oath, Epstein is texting her 50 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.719 the questions to ask the person during the committee meeting. Now, 51 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.000 I know multiple members of Congress, and I don't know 52 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.639 of one of them who would. Now I've never done it, 53 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.319 but who would text me back during a committee meeting. 54 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.639 Maybe they would, I don't know, but that's kind of 55 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.599 business time. So as all this stuff gets laid out, 56 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:40.000 Stacy Plaskett doesn't look that great. Democrats look terrible. It's 57 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.360 now the story of the day. 58 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.400 Here was her and I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, 59 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.599 who at the time was my constituent, who was not 60 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.439 public knowledge at that time that he was under federal investigation. 61 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.280 It was already knowledge, it was public knowledge that he 62 00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.280 was a criminal. 63 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.759 And who was sharing information with me. 64 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.919 Okay, well that's a lot obviously. Okay, so now she 65 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.400 looks bad. She has to defend herself, but it's not 66 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.280 really defensible what happened. And remember this is not my opinion. 67 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.840 These are black and white things. This happened Democrats, because 68 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.800 they're communists, and all that matters is the revolution quickly 69 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.959 locked shields and attempted to defend her. Here's Jamie Raskals. 70 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.519 Well, they want to give them another headline, which is 71 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.879 that they've arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone 72 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.199 call from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein, in the middle of 73 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.319 a hearing. And of course I don't think there's any 74 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.319 rule here against taking phone calls in a. 75 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:45.519 Hearing, right, Grijalva, she's a new member of Congress, said this. 76 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.439 I know she's a Democratic colleague was texting with a 77 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.759 sexual predator in twenty nineteen. 78 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.959 Yeah, I think it's important for us to understand what 79 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.560 that whole transaction was. Having been able to see just 80 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.639 what happened been with my colleague and an attempt to 81 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.720 censure him in Chewie Garcia. I know that, like most 82 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.519 of the time, when you hear one little snippet of 83 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.879 what happened, it's not the full story, and you don't 84 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:12.480 have the full. 85 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.160 Story it just obviously, as you can figure out, they 86 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.959 were trying to censure her, essentially punish her for this 87 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.399 egregious thing that she did. Democrats are stopping it. Okay, 88 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.120 Jasmine Crockett went so far? Is to just tell a 89 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.000 gigantic line. Remember, as you know, communists lie about everything 90 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.879 all the time, not just small little eyes not shading 91 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.600 the truth. They will look at a body of water 92 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.959 and tell you, well, the water is not wet. All 93 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.079 that matters is the revolution. So they will tell gigantic, 94 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.240 verifiable lies to your face and repeat them over and 95 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.199 over and over again without the slightest moral hesitation, because 96 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.279 their morality doesn't in any way the morality of human beings. 97 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.600 Here is Jasmine Crockett keep in mind, as she reads 98 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:11.240 this list aloud, the Jeffrey Epstein's she's discussing, none of 99 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.519 them are the Jeffrey Epstein. They all just share the 100 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.920 same name. So it's just a gigantic life. 101 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.279 Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein 102 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.040 as I had my team digg in very quickly, met Romney, 103 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:34.720 the NRCC, Lee Zelden, George bush Win, Read McCain, Palin 104 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.879 Rick Lazio. I just want to be clear. If this 105 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.839 is the standard that we gonna make, just know we 106 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.079 gonna expose it all. And just know that the FEC filings, 107 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.279 they are available for everybody to review. 108 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.480 It's a lie. She knows it's a lie. She knows 109 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.519 your liberal am Peggy is dumb enough to believe the lie. 110 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.879 So that's why they tell it big gigantic lies, outright lies, 111 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.959 verifiable lies, easily verifiable life. You knew it was a lie. 112 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.639 You paid attention to the news about eight hours ago. 113 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:09.720 Verifiable line. All right, Why did the vote to censure 114 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.399 Stacey Plasket to punish her for what she did? Why 115 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:20.319 did the vote fail? Well? It failed because because we 116 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.279 have a problem in our midst Corey Mills is a 117 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.920 congressman from Florida. You can do your own research. It's 118 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.120 he's got all kinds of controversies around him, not not one, 119 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.120 multiple multiple. It's it's ugly. The financial stuff. It's just 120 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:42.560 it's really really bad, and it failed because Republican leadership 121 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.199 cut a deal with Democrat leadership that essentially went something 122 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.560 like this, hey don't punish Stacy Plasket and we won't 123 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.519 punish Corey Mills. Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, one of 124 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.439 the good ones. No, he's not the one I was with. 125 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.680 The audio is a little fuzzy, said this. He just 126 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.800 exposed it all. So it failed. And what they did 127 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.879 was they cut a deal. They cut a. 128 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.800 Deal on another on an ethics starred on a Republican 129 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.800 and that's just wrong. If does everybody out just stand 130 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.000 on their own if it were truly, we don't care 131 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:20.720 whose party. 132 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.680 Tim Burchard exposed it. Anna Pauline A Luna, another one 133 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:25.399 of the good ones. 134 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.319 She said it, and I was wondering if the Speaker 135 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.800 of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on 136 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.200 both sides, both Democrat and Republican, are cutting back end 137 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.200 deals to cover up public corruption in the House of 138 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.000 Representatives from both Republican and Democrat members of Congress. 139 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.159 The General Lady has not stated a popular a proper 140 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.639 parliamentary inquiry very much, But. 141 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.320 I think the American people know what happened tonight. 142 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.559 Text I got this morning from one of the good ones, 143 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.240 one of the boy boy do we need him there? 144 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.639 Texts me, and he says right out three words, I 145 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.799 hate it here. That's aw Man, and I knew he's 146 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.799 not the look. He's not one of these where your 147 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:07.279 emotions on your sleeves, touchy feely guys. Oh that's four words. 148 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.840 Shut up, Chris, I went to community college. One of 149 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.399 those words can but whatever, We don't need you counting numbers. 150 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:19.080 I hate it here, he says. We went back and forth. Hey, 151 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.720 what's wrong? He is there to drain the swamp, to 152 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:32.120 save the country, and to have our own GOP leadership torpedo. 153 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.600 A vote to censure an evil communists was about enough 154 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.799 to have him put in his retirement papers and not 155 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.519 run for reelection. Spend my morning, well not my morning, 156 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.360 spend probably twenty minutes trying to talk him off the ledge. 157 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.639 Think I successfully did, but spent quite a while this 158 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.279 morning trying to talk him off the ledge. Let's talk 159 00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:02.399 about Washington, DC, politics, life, America, good people before we 160 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.279 move on to so many other things. Let's talk, shall we? 161 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.320 All the Epstein stuff got voted yesterday, released the files, 162 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.200 and then of course they came out already and said, well, 163 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.600 we have to redact some things for national security reasons, 164 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:21.080 which of course begs the question would why would why 165 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.440 would there be national security reasons for Jeffrey Epstein's files? Anyway, 166 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:30.399 setting outside, they failed to censure Stacey Plasket, who was 167 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.039 texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a committee meeting. Democrats are 168 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.279 knee deep involved in the Epstein stuff, and they failed 169 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.960 to center Stacey Plasket because Republican leadership cut a deal 170 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.960 with Democrat leadership. We'll protect our guy, you protect your girl. 171 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.240 We'll all work out well. And the good ones are 172 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.799 mad about it. 173 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.320 And I was wondering if the Speaker of the House 174 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.159 of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both 175 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.480 Democrat and Republican, are cutting back end deals to cover 176 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.519 up public corruption in the House of rep Presentatives for 177 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.639 both Republican and Democrat members of Congress. 178 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.759 General Lady has not stated a popular a proper parliamentary 179 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.320 inquiry too much. 180 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.960 But I think the American people know what happened tonight. 181 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.039 They do, and this is the kind of thing that 182 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.320 doesn't just dishearten the good people in Washington, DC. You've 183 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.120 seen these moments before. If you've been paying attention for 184 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.519 long enough, so have I. You've had these moments, these 185 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.480 moments where you almost slump your shoulders and say, man, 186 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.600 screw this, it's not even worth it. I'm done with politics. 187 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.679 That screw them all. I'm not even voting anymore of it. 188 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.720 If you've said things like this, I want you to 189 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.240 know something. I have to I get it. I have 190 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.879 had multiple moments in my roughly twenty year involvement in 191 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.840 politics where I have sumped my shoulders and said, you 192 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.080 know what, man, screw this. I'm I'm going to go 193 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.639 back to just watching football on the weekends and just 194 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.080 not ever turning on the news, and I'll just be 195 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.679 a dumb normy who doesn't participate in my country. I 196 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.679 don't care anymore. It's worthless that I want to do 197 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.519 an attempt to encourage you with something though. Before we 198 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.679 move on and we're going to talk about affordability and 199 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.919 the education system and everything else. We have all kinds 200 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.080 of stuff to get to. I wanted to encourage you 201 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.840 with this that that is exactly what the evil, evil 202 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.279 people in this country want. In fact, lots of the time, 203 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.200 that's the purpose of it. Have you ever heard of 204 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.320 Tokyo Rose. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But Tokyo Rose, 205 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.639 she was a woman. She would come on over the air. 206 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.320 During World War II, our troops would be out on 207 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.120 ships in the Pacific, or occasionally, if you got your 208 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.440 hands on a radio, you'd be on land. Let's say 209 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.279 you're in Okinawa, you're in Guadalcanal. You're a marine, you're 210 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:14.200 a sailor. You've watched your friends die, You're going through hell, 211 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.000 and you're looking for any kind of an escape. You 212 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.360 can only smoke so many cigarettes, you can only talk 213 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.360 about so many girls and food and things like that. 214 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.919 Back home. You're always looking for an escape. And music. 215 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:37.000 Music is one of those very powerful things. Music creates 216 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.240 feelings in people. I know you've experienced it, even if 217 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.480 you didn't necessarily know what was happening. If you listen 218 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.840 to music that's upbeat, you're going to get more upbeat 219 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.759 and feel good. If you listen to music that's said 220 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.120 everybody hurts, you're gonna be more sad. Women will do this. 221 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.080 Ob does this. If you want to have a good cry, 222 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.399 if you're already sad, you turn on sad music and 223 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.840 just wade into it, right, I do the opposite. But 224 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.440 whatever to each his own. Music is powerful. It creates 225 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:13.039 feelings in people. Japan understood the power of not just music, 226 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:19.799 of demoralization. So what they did was this, They would 227 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.679 put out music over the airwaves. Japan did this music's 228 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.559 coming out over the airwaves? What kind of music? All 229 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.759 the popular music of the day, All the music back 230 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.600 in the day, back in the forties that the troops 231 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.919 would be listening to if they were at the drive 232 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.960 in movie theater with their girlfriend back home, that they'd 233 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.159 be listening to in a bar. That all the music 234 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.559 that you would want to hear if you're a nineteen 235 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.120 twenty year old man. Japan grabbed it and played it. 236 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:53.080 But in between the music, in between the music, Tokyo 237 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.320 Rose would come on the air and she would say 238 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.960 things like, Hey, oh, you Marines getting ready to en 239 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.519 invade Okinawa tomorrow. I want you to know you're all 240 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.559 going to die. We've already made plans to kill every 241 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.200 one of you. Your mom back home is going to 242 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.559 get a letter over and over and over and over 243 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:22.360 and over again. Why Well, to demoralize the other side 244 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:28.279 is more powerful than you can imagine, and evil people 245 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:34.039 know it, and evil people will use it to their advantage. 246 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.600 Don't let them get you down, even on bad nights 247 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.679 where you find out corrupt GOP leadership cut a corrupt 248 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.320 deal with Democrat leadership. So a corrupt GOP congressman and 249 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.480 a corrupt Democrat congresswoman would not find themselves in serious trouble, 250 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.960 even on days like that, when your shoulders slump over 251 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.159 and you say, screw this, I'm watching the game and 252 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.519 I'm out of politics. Take a day if you need it, 253 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.559 take a breath, eat a pizza, then get back on 254 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:12.240 your horse. Don't let don't let them get you down. 255 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.000 It's verbatim what I told that congressman who was ready 256 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.120 to retire this morning. Don't let the bad guys demoralize you. 257 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:27.039 It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Wednesday. 258 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.519 I'll hobday so before we get to the affordability stuff 259 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.919 of the news and things like that. So I'm doing 260 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.279 a little self experiment. I teased it before the show, 261 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.080 and Jewish producer Chris was really mad that I wouldn't expand. 262 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.279 So I'm gonna go ahead and tell you, Chris. At 263 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.399 the same time I'm telling all of the United States 264 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.440 of America. Even though I'm warning you right now this 265 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.799 is the dumbest, most pointless thing in the world. It 266 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.639 fascinates me. The human mind fascinates me. What makes people tick? 267 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.960 Doesn't it fascinate you? Not just that people do think? 268 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.839 Why do they do things? What drives people to do things? 269 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.799 And we've had to talk before about a candy dish, 270 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.319 and secretary has a candy dish there, and we've joked 271 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:16.359 about it's always the three Musketeers left because it sucks, 272 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:20.640 and people will tell you it doesn't suck, but it 273 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:25.200 doesn't lie. The candy dish doesn't lie. When people have options, 274 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:30.880 they don't choose three Musketeers. I I know we're about 275 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.880 to talk about affordability, so I don't want to rub 276 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.920 my wealth in anyone's face. But I don't just have 277 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.039 one highlighter here at the studio. We buy the five 278 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:48.160 pack of highlighters here, five different colors. In case you're 279 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.480 curious what I do with them. I try to make 280 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.440 connections in my mind between stories and audio and things 281 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.440 like that. So I highlight things just so what pops 282 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.799 into my head. Trying to do a better show. Anyway, 283 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:06.279 Wealthy five pack of highlighters. The first time we got 284 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.960 a five pack of highlighters, the yellow ran out right away. 285 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:16.079 Why I'm used to yellow highlighters. It was always the 286 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.039 one I grabbed first. Whatever the biggest thing was the 287 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.880 thing I had to highlight the most, I went yellow. 288 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:28.039 Now I've moved on. Now, in an effort to save money, 289 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.559 I'm trying to evenly distribute my highlighter usage. But I 290 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.400 don't track it. I just try to grab a different 291 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.920 one for a different story or a different topic. I 292 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.200 have a pink one, a green one, a yellow one, 293 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.200 a blue one, and an orange one in front of me. 294 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.319 If you're watching, Yes, that's a chalk bottle that I 295 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:53.480 keep them in. Which one's going to run out first? 296 00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:58.440 I don't know, Chris says yellow. Still, I don't know. 297 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:04.960 And what does it say about my mind if one 298 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.480 has a bunch left and the other one runs out first. 299 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:13.160 Maybe nothing. Maybe there's some psychiatrist nerd listening who will 300 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.480 understand there's some meaning behind it. But one's gonna run 301 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.240 out first, Chris, And I'm going to be curious as 302 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:24.359 to why what Chris, I was right that this was stupid. 303 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.960 I warned you it was stupid. Okay, I warned you 304 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.480 that it was stupid. I can't help myself. I have 305 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.640 stupid things that run through my head. Let's talk about 306 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.599 something horrible, then, Chris, we'll talk about something important and horrible. Good. No, no, 307 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.119 you did it. You don't want to talk about stupid. 308 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:43.559 Then let's talk about real stuff. How about this one Marist? Now, 309 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.160 Marist is a polling company I should clarify, and a 310 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.839 bad one. I want to make sure I'm clear about this, 311 00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:55.680 A bad one. Don't do the extremely dumbed down thing 312 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.440 we do on the right. And every time there's a 313 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.440 pole you see that you don't like, you say all 314 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.240 the polls lie. We do that every time, and then 315 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.839 when we see when we like, we say, oh that's 316 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.799 a good pollster. No, there are good posters and there 317 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.599 are bad posters, depending on the methodology, how many people 318 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.240 are pull the questions they asked? Who you actually asked? 319 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.200 What percentage of Republicans? What percentage of Democrats? There are 320 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.359 good pollsters, there are bad pollsters, and there are sometimes 321 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.720 really reputable good posters who have polls that don't make 322 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.799 us feel very good because we're not doing very good. 323 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.599 I know where you stand politically, and you obviously know 324 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.839 where I stand politically. We have to get past that 325 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:41.640 and figure out what's going to win or lose elections. 326 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.039 So again, back to this poster. Who's a bad poster? 327 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.799 I want to clarify they legitimate. Merist is legitimately not 328 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.759 a great poster. But they ran a poll on something 329 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:58.200 called the generic ballot. Now that is something maybe you've 330 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:00.079 heard of before. Let me pause because I want to 331 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.440 explain what that actually means. A generic ballot. What in 332 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.599 the world is a generic ballot? You call somebody someone 333 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.200 actually answers and chooses to answer your questions, and you 334 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.960 simply say, hey, who do you trust more on the economy, 335 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.440 the border, or if you want to go super generic 336 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:25.000 with the generic ballot, you say, who are you going 337 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.839 to vote for in the midterms? Which party do you 338 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:34.240 like more? Way generic Marist Again, admittedly a bad polster 339 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:39.519 just did one. They have Democrats up fourteen points in 340 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:44.960 the generic ballot. Stop for a second. You are correct 341 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.759 that that's a bad polster. Even a bad polster is 342 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.160 probably not off that far. But let's let's let's build 343 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.839 in for the fact that Marist sucks. You know what, 344 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.480 that's way builded in. Let's cut that number in half. 345 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.640 Let's say seven points. That's a lot. All right, that's 346 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:18.440 a lot. Why why are we looking at an ugly midterm? 347 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:26.279 Have you bought Burger lately? Have you bought anything? I look, 348 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:31.559 here's here's a story. It's it's not huge, but Fox 349 00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:36.279 Business hidden cost of home ownership jumps, tightening the squeeze 350 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.599 on buyers. Now what hidden costs? Well, there are all 351 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.079 kinds of costs that come with owning a home, but 352 00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.440 I have one that's near and dear to my heart. 353 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.400 In fact, we got an email someone else just went 354 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.079 through the same thing our AC went out. And I'm 355 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.319 sure this is a complete coincidence. Our AC went out 356 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.119 this is last summer, about five minutes after the warranty expired. 357 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.680 So too bad, so said, you have to buy an 358 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:07.079 entirely new air conditioning system for the house. The last 359 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.160 air conditioning system I had to buy in my life 360 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.920 was years and years and years ago. I admit that 361 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.519 years ago. And I don't remember the sizes and brands. 362 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.640 I know there were different ones, but it was four 363 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.119 thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. This film was 364 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:28.279 nine when he gave me the price. Of course, I 365 00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:32.640 tried to remain calm. I said, I'm going to get 366 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:35.920 another opinion, and I did. Actually I got two other opinions, 367 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:42.440 and they were all roughly the same. Life is expensive now, 368 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:45.200 very very expensive. 369 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.400 Now. 370 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.880 Now I didn't get that that nine thousand dollars bill 371 00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:55.119 and say that's ridiculous. I'm voting for Democrats. But of 372 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:56.720 course I would never do that, and you would never 373 00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:58.680 do that. I'm not saying that. I'm not putting that 374 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.680 on you at all. You're not an You understand there 375 00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:03.920 are all kinds of things that go behind that. I 376 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.759 know you get it, then I get it. It would 377 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.640 never occur to me. I was mad for a variety 378 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:10.920 of reasons, mainly because I didn't want to spend nine 379 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.400 thousand dollars. But I got it, you got it. I'm 380 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.880 not going to have a political hissy fit about it. 381 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.200 I am not. You are not. The American people are 382 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.079 they are? And the American people, the normies in the 383 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.880 American people, I shouldn't say all American people. The normies 384 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:41.319 in America are the ones who decide elections. They are 385 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:46.160 the ones who decide elections, and that is a frustrating 386 00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.680 place to be for people who are knowledgeable and people 387 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.440 who are involved. It's, in fact, it's one of the 388 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.480 most maddening things in the world if you allow it 389 00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.599 to just completely take over your mind. I'll stew on 390 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.480 this hours before I calm myself down. How is it 391 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.599 that we're in a place that the noormy morons are 392 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.720 the ones who will choose the direction of the United 393 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:14.000 States of America? How can that be? Shouldn't it just 394 00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.960 be the most knowledgeable. Shouldn't be shouldn't it be you? 395 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.079 Shouldn't it be me? Shouldn't it just be us who care? 396 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.839 We care enough to pay attention. Okay, but let's not 397 00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:27.599 do the childhood thing and say it shouldn't be that way. 398 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:32.880 It is that way. How bad is it? I'll tell 399 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.759 you in a minute. It is the Jesse Kelly Show 400 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:43.759 on a wonderful Wednesday days. Ignorant people inside our elections 401 00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.240
