Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly show. Let's have some fun on a Wednesday hopday.
Speaker 1: Life is freaking grand. Put a smile on your face.
Speaker 1: We have crested the hump of the week and it's
Speaker 1: all down heel from gear. We have such a big
Speaker 1: show today. It's one of those things. I'm about to
Speaker 1: tease a lot of things, and I'm not making any
Speaker 1: promises that I'm getting to everything. Here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I am reluctantly because of a conversation I had this
Speaker 1: morning with a congressman. I am reluctantly going to talk
Speaker 1: about the Epstein stuff from yesterday, and then I'm moving on.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't even feel like it, but I feel
Speaker 1: the need to tell you what I know and just
Speaker 1: express something, and then we're gonna move on. Hopefully that'll
Speaker 1: just be a few minutes, maybe a couple segments, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We're gonna talk more about affordability. We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about the Communists being after your children. Will
Speaker 1: of course set aside sometime to make fun of Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama tracking down all these poor illegal slave kids in
Speaker 1: the country. A woman got set on fire in Chicago
Speaker 1: by a repeat felon emails, so much more coming up
Speaker 1: tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: going to read you something. I am not going to
Speaker 1: tell you who it's from because I was not given
Speaker 1: permission to do so. And that's just the way it's
Speaker 1: going to be. A sitting member of Congress. I was
Speaker 1: texting with this guy today and he was disheartened beyond belief.
Speaker 1: This guy is one of the good ones. And contrary
Speaker 1: to what you and I like to believe, sometimes there
Speaker 1: are some really solid people there. They're just like you,
Speaker 1: they're just like me. They want to save the country,
Speaker 1: they're there to do some good. And he sounded close
Speaker 1: to retirement. I'll be honest with you, that's how crushed
Speaker 1: he was. In fact, I probably don't need to read
Speaker 1: it exactly what was he crushed about, because you know,
Speaker 1: we had that big Epstein vote last night. It was
Speaker 1: something like four hundred and twenty seven to one. We
Speaker 1: had the big Epstein vote. The House voted, hey, release
Speaker 1: the files. The Senate voted okay, okay, sounds good. So
Speaker 1: what's the problem. Well, let me walk you through this.
Speaker 1: In case you've kind of been out of the news.
Speaker 1: There is a congresswoman by the name of Stacy Plasket.
Speaker 1: She's a congresswoman from the Virgin Islands. I know, it's weird,
Speaker 1: It's okay. Well, Democrats thought they were going to hurt
Speaker 1: Trump and hurt Republicans with the release of all this
Speaker 1: Epstein stuff. But it turns out that Stacy Plasket was
Speaker 1: so close with Jeffrey Epstein that while she was having
Speaker 1: a meeting a committee meeting, meaning she's interrogating someone, someone's
Speaker 1: standing in front of sitting in front of her, and
Speaker 1: she's asking them questions under oath, Epstein is texting her
Speaker 1: the questions to ask the person during the committee meeting. Now,
Speaker 1: I know multiple members of Congress, and I don't know
Speaker 1: of one of them who would. Now I've never done it,
Speaker 1: but who would text me back during a committee meeting.
Speaker 1: Maybe they would, I don't know, but that's kind of
Speaker 1: business time. So as all this stuff gets laid out,
Speaker 1: Stacy Plaskett doesn't look that great. Democrats look terrible. It's
Speaker 1: now the story of the day.
Speaker 2: Here was her and I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein,
Speaker 2: who at the time was my constituent, who was not
Speaker 2: public knowledge at that time that he was under federal investigation.
Speaker 1: It was already knowledge, it was public knowledge that he
Speaker 1: was a criminal.
Speaker 2: And who was sharing information with me.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's a lot obviously. Okay, so now she
Speaker 1: looks bad. She has to defend herself, but it's not
Speaker 1: really defensible what happened. And remember this is not my opinion.
Speaker 1: These are black and white things. This happened Democrats, because
Speaker 1: they're communists, and all that matters is the revolution quickly
Speaker 1: locked shields and attempted to defend her. Here's Jamie Raskals.
Speaker 3: Well, they want to give them another headline, which is
Speaker 3: that they've arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone
Speaker 3: call from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein, in the middle of
Speaker 3: a hearing. And of course I don't think there's any
Speaker 3: rule here against taking phone calls in a.
Speaker 1: Hearing, right, Grijalva, she's a new member of Congress, said this.
Speaker 1: I know she's a Democratic colleague was texting with a
Speaker 1: sexual predator in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's important for us to understand what
Speaker 4: that whole transaction was. Having been able to see just
Speaker 4: what happened been with my colleague and an attempt to
Speaker 4: censure him in Chewie Garcia. I know that, like most
Speaker 4: of the time, when you hear one little snippet of
Speaker 4: what happened, it's not the full story, and you don't
Speaker 4: have the full.
Speaker 1: Story it just obviously, as you can figure out, they
Speaker 1: were trying to censure her, essentially punish her for this
Speaker 1: egregious thing that she did. Democrats are stopping it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett went so far? Is to just tell a
Speaker 1: gigantic line. Remember, as you know, communists lie about everything
Speaker 1: all the time, not just small little eyes not shading
Speaker 1: the truth. They will look at a body of water
Speaker 1: and tell you, well, the water is not wet. All
Speaker 1: that matters is the revolution. So they will tell gigantic,
Speaker 1: verifiable lies to your face and repeat them over and
Speaker 1: over and over again without the slightest moral hesitation, because
Speaker 1: their morality doesn't in any way the morality of human beings.
Speaker 1: Here is Jasmine Crockett keep in mind, as she reads
Speaker 1: this list aloud, the Jeffrey Epstein's she's discussing, none of
Speaker 1: them are the Jeffrey Epstein. They all just share the
Speaker 1: same name. So it's just a gigantic life.
Speaker 5: Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 5: as I had my team digg in very quickly, met Romney,
Speaker 5: the NRCC, Lee Zelden, George bush Win, Read McCain, Palin
Speaker 5: Rick Lazio. I just want to be clear. If this
Speaker 5: is the standard that we gonna make, just know we
Speaker 5: gonna expose it all. And just know that the FEC filings,
Speaker 5: they are available for everybody to review.
Speaker 1: It's a lie. She knows it's a lie. She knows
Speaker 1: your liberal am Peggy is dumb enough to believe the lie.
Speaker 1: So that's why they tell it big gigantic lies, outright lies,
Speaker 1: verifiable lies, easily verifiable life. You knew it was a lie.
Speaker 1: You paid attention to the news about eight hours ago.
Speaker 1: Verifiable line. All right, Why did the vote to censure
Speaker 1: Stacey Plasket to punish her for what she did? Why
Speaker 1: did the vote fail? Well? It failed because because we
Speaker 1: have a problem in our midst Corey Mills is a
Speaker 1: congressman from Florida. You can do your own research. It's
Speaker 1: he's got all kinds of controversies around him, not not one,
Speaker 1: multiple multiple. It's it's ugly. The financial stuff. It's just
Speaker 1: it's really really bad, and it failed because Republican leadership
Speaker 1: cut a deal with Democrat leadership that essentially went something
Speaker 1: like this, hey don't punish Stacy Plasket and we won't
Speaker 1: punish Corey Mills. Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, one of
Speaker 1: the good ones. No, he's not the one I was with.
Speaker 1: The audio is a little fuzzy, said this. He just
Speaker 1: exposed it all. So it failed. And what they did
Speaker 1: was they cut a deal. They cut a.
Speaker 6: Deal on another on an ethics starred on a Republican
Speaker 6: and that's just wrong. If does everybody out just stand
Speaker 6: on their own if it were truly, we don't care
Speaker 6: whose party.
Speaker 1: Tim Burchard exposed it. Anna Pauline A Luna, another one
Speaker 1: of the good ones.
Speaker 7: She said it, and I was wondering if the Speaker
Speaker 7: of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on
Speaker 7: both sides, both Democrat and Republican, are cutting back end
Speaker 7: deals to cover up public corruption in the House of
Speaker 7: Representatives from both Republican and Democrat members of Congress.
Speaker 8: The General Lady has not stated a popular a proper
Speaker 8: parliamentary inquiry very much, But.
Speaker 7: I think the American people know what happened tonight.
Speaker 1: Text I got this morning from one of the good ones,
Speaker 1: one of the boy boy do we need him there?
Speaker 1: Texts me, and he says right out three words, I
Speaker 1: hate it here. That's aw Man, and I knew he's
Speaker 1: not the look. He's not one of these where your
Speaker 1: emotions on your sleeves, touchy feely guys. Oh that's four words.
Speaker 1: Shut up, Chris, I went to community college. One of
Speaker 1: those words can but whatever, We don't need you counting numbers.
Speaker 1: I hate it here, he says. We went back and forth. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's wrong? He is there to drain the swamp, to
Speaker 1: save the country, and to have our own GOP leadership torpedo.
Speaker 1: A vote to censure an evil communists was about enough
Speaker 1: to have him put in his retirement papers and not
Speaker 1: run for reelection. Spend my morning, well not my morning,
Speaker 1: spend probably twenty minutes trying to talk him off the ledge.
Speaker 1: Think I successfully did, but spent quite a while this
Speaker 1: morning trying to talk him off the ledge. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Washington, DC, politics, life, America, good people before we
Speaker 1: move on to so many other things. Let's talk, shall we?
Speaker 1: All the Epstein stuff got voted yesterday, released the files,
Speaker 1: and then of course they came out already and said, well,
Speaker 1: we have to redact some things for national security reasons,
Speaker 1: which of course begs the question would why would why
Speaker 1: would there be national security reasons for Jeffrey Epstein's files? Anyway,
Speaker 1: setting outside, they failed to censure Stacey Plasket, who was
Speaker 1: texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a committee meeting. Democrats are
Speaker 1: knee deep involved in the Epstein stuff, and they failed
Speaker 1: to center Stacey Plasket because Republican leadership cut a deal
Speaker 1: with Democrat leadership. We'll protect our guy, you protect your girl.
Speaker 1: We'll all work out well. And the good ones are
Speaker 1: mad about it.
Speaker 7: And I was wondering if the Speaker of the House
Speaker 7: of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both
Speaker 7: Democrat and Republican, are cutting back end deals to cover
Speaker 7: up public corruption in the House of rep Presentatives for
Speaker 7: both Republican and Democrat members of Congress.
Speaker 8: General Lady has not stated a popular a proper parliamentary
Speaker 8: inquiry too much.
Speaker 7: But I think the American people know what happened tonight.
Speaker 1: They do, and this is the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: doesn't just dishearten the good people in Washington, DC. You've
Speaker 1: seen these moments before. If you've been paying attention for
Speaker 1: long enough, so have I. You've had these moments, these
Speaker 1: moments where you almost slump your shoulders and say, man,
Speaker 1: screw this, it's not even worth it. I'm done with politics.
Speaker 1: That screw them all. I'm not even voting anymore of it.
Speaker 1: If you've said things like this, I want you to
Speaker 1: know something. I have to I get it. I have
Speaker 1: had multiple moments in my roughly twenty year involvement in
Speaker 1: politics where I have sumped my shoulders and said, you
Speaker 1: know what, man, screw this. I'm I'm going to go
Speaker 1: back to just watching football on the weekends and just
Speaker 1: not ever turning on the news, and I'll just be
Speaker 1: a dumb normy who doesn't participate in my country. I
Speaker 1: don't care anymore. It's worthless that I want to do
Speaker 1: an attempt to encourage you with something though. Before we
Speaker 1: move on and we're going to talk about affordability and
Speaker 1: the education system and everything else. We have all kinds
Speaker 1: of stuff to get to. I wanted to encourage you
Speaker 1: with this that that is exactly what the evil, evil
Speaker 1: people in this country want. In fact, lots of the time,
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of it. Have you ever heard of
Speaker 1: Tokyo Rose. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. But Tokyo Rose,
Speaker 1: she was a woman. She would come on over the air.
Speaker 1: During World War II, our troops would be out on
Speaker 1: ships in the Pacific, or occasionally, if you got your
Speaker 1: hands on a radio, you'd be on land. Let's say
Speaker 1: you're in Okinawa, you're in Guadalcanal. You're a marine, you're
Speaker 1: a sailor. You've watched your friends die, You're going through hell,
Speaker 1: and you're looking for any kind of an escape. You
Speaker 1: can only smoke so many cigarettes, you can only talk
Speaker 1: about so many girls and food and things like that.
Speaker 1: Back home. You're always looking for an escape. And music.
Speaker 1: Music is one of those very powerful things. Music creates
Speaker 1: feelings in people. I know you've experienced it, even if
Speaker 1: you didn't necessarily know what was happening. If you listen
Speaker 1: to music that's upbeat, you're going to get more upbeat
Speaker 1: and feel good. If you listen to music that's said
Speaker 1: everybody hurts, you're gonna be more sad. Women will do this.
Speaker 1: Ob does this. If you want to have a good cry,
Speaker 1: if you're already sad, you turn on sad music and
Speaker 1: just wade into it, right, I do the opposite. But
Speaker 1: whatever to each his own. Music is powerful. It creates
Speaker 1: feelings in people. Japan understood the power of not just music,
Speaker 1: of demoralization. So what they did was this, They would
Speaker 1: put out music over the airwaves. Japan did this music's
Speaker 1: coming out over the airwaves? What kind of music? All
Speaker 1: the popular music of the day, All the music back
Speaker 1: in the day, back in the forties that the troops
Speaker 1: would be listening to if they were at the drive
Speaker 1: in movie theater with their girlfriend back home, that they'd
Speaker 1: be listening to in a bar. That all the music
Speaker 1: that you would want to hear if you're a nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty year old man. Japan grabbed it and played it.
Speaker 1: But in between the music, in between the music, Tokyo
Speaker 1: Rose would come on the air and she would say
Speaker 1: things like, Hey, oh, you Marines getting ready to en
Speaker 1: invade Okinawa tomorrow. I want you to know you're all
Speaker 1: going to die. We've already made plans to kill every
Speaker 1: one of you. Your mom back home is going to
Speaker 1: get a letter over and over and over and over
Speaker 1: and over again. Why Well, to demoralize the other side
Speaker 1: is more powerful than you can imagine, and evil people
Speaker 1: know it, and evil people will use it to their advantage.
Speaker 1: Don't let them get you down, even on bad nights
Speaker 1: where you find out corrupt GOP leadership cut a corrupt
Speaker 1: deal with Democrat leadership. So a corrupt GOP congressman and
Speaker 1: a corrupt Democrat congresswoman would not find themselves in serious trouble,
Speaker 1: even on days like that, when your shoulders slump over
Speaker 1: and you say, screw this, I'm watching the game and
Speaker 1: I'm out of politics. Take a day if you need it,
Speaker 1: take a breath, eat a pizza, then get back on
Speaker 1: your horse. Don't let don't let them get you down.
Speaker 1: It's verbatim what I told that congressman who was ready
Speaker 1: to retire this morning. Don't let the bad guys demoralize you.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'll hobday so before we get to the affordability stuff
Speaker 1: of the news and things like that. So I'm doing
Speaker 1: a little self experiment. I teased it before the show,
Speaker 1: and Jewish producer Chris was really mad that I wouldn't expand.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go ahead and tell you, Chris. At
Speaker 1: the same time I'm telling all of the United States
Speaker 1: of America. Even though I'm warning you right now this
Speaker 1: is the dumbest, most pointless thing in the world. It
Speaker 1: fascinates me. The human mind fascinates me. What makes people tick?
Speaker 1: Doesn't it fascinate you? Not just that people do think?
Speaker 1: Why do they do things? What drives people to do things?
Speaker 1: And we've had to talk before about a candy dish,
Speaker 1: and secretary has a candy dish there, and we've joked
Speaker 1: about it's always the three Musketeers left because it sucks,
Speaker 1: and people will tell you it doesn't suck, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't lie. The candy dish doesn't lie. When people have options,
Speaker 1: they don't choose three Musketeers. I I know we're about
Speaker 1: to talk about affordability, so I don't want to rub
Speaker 1: my wealth in anyone's face. But I don't just have
Speaker 1: one highlighter here at the studio. We buy the five
Speaker 1: pack of highlighters here, five different colors. In case you're
Speaker 1: curious what I do with them. I try to make
Speaker 1: connections in my mind between stories and audio and things
Speaker 1: like that. So I highlight things just so what pops
Speaker 1: into my head. Trying to do a better show. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Wealthy five pack of highlighters. The first time we got
Speaker 1: a five pack of highlighters, the yellow ran out right away.
Speaker 1: Why I'm used to yellow highlighters. It was always the
Speaker 1: one I grabbed first. Whatever the biggest thing was the
Speaker 1: thing I had to highlight the most, I went yellow.
Speaker 1: Now I've moved on. Now, in an effort to save money,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to evenly distribute my highlighter usage. But I
Speaker 1: don't track it. I just try to grab a different
Speaker 1: one for a different story or a different topic. I
Speaker 1: have a pink one, a green one, a yellow one,
Speaker 1: a blue one, and an orange one in front of me.
Speaker 1: If you're watching, Yes, that's a chalk bottle that I
Speaker 1: keep them in. Which one's going to run out first?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Chris says yellow. Still, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And what does it say about my mind if one
Speaker 1: has a bunch left and the other one runs out first.
Speaker 1: Maybe nothing. Maybe there's some psychiatrist nerd listening who will
Speaker 1: understand there's some meaning behind it. But one's gonna run
Speaker 1: out first, Chris, And I'm going to be curious as
Speaker 1: to why what Chris, I was right that this was stupid.
Speaker 1: I warned you it was stupid. Okay, I warned you
Speaker 1: that it was stupid. I can't help myself. I have
Speaker 1: stupid things that run through my head. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: something horrible, then, Chris, we'll talk about something important and horrible. Good. No, no,
Speaker 1: you did it. You don't want to talk about stupid.
Speaker 1: Then let's talk about real stuff. How about this one Marist? Now,
Speaker 1: Marist is a polling company I should clarify, and a
Speaker 1: bad one. I want to make sure I'm clear about this,
Speaker 1: A bad one. Don't do the extremely dumbed down thing
Speaker 1: we do on the right. And every time there's a
Speaker 1: pole you see that you don't like, you say all
Speaker 1: the polls lie. We do that every time, and then
Speaker 1: when we see when we like, we say, oh that's
Speaker 1: a good pollster. No, there are good posters and there
Speaker 1: are bad posters, depending on the methodology, how many people
Speaker 1: are pull the questions they asked? Who you actually asked?
Speaker 1: What percentage of Republicans? What percentage of Democrats? There are
Speaker 1: good pollsters, there are bad pollsters, and there are sometimes
Speaker 1: really reputable good posters who have polls that don't make
Speaker 1: us feel very good because we're not doing very good.
Speaker 1: I know where you stand politically, and you obviously know
Speaker 1: where I stand politically. We have to get past that
Speaker 1: and figure out what's going to win or lose elections.
Speaker 1: So again, back to this poster. Who's a bad poster?
Speaker 1: I want to clarify they legitimate. Merist is legitimately not
Speaker 1: a great poster. But they ran a poll on something
Speaker 1: called the generic ballot. Now that is something maybe you've
Speaker 1: heard of before. Let me pause because I want to
Speaker 1: explain what that actually means. A generic ballot. What in
Speaker 1: the world is a generic ballot? You call somebody someone
Speaker 1: actually answers and chooses to answer your questions, and you
Speaker 1: simply say, hey, who do you trust more on the economy,
Speaker 1: the border, or if you want to go super generic
Speaker 1: with the generic ballot, you say, who are you going
Speaker 1: to vote for in the midterms? Which party do you
Speaker 1: like more? Way generic Marist Again, admittedly a bad polster
Speaker 1: just did one. They have Democrats up fourteen points in
Speaker 1: the generic ballot. Stop for a second. You are correct
Speaker 1: that that's a bad polster. Even a bad polster is
Speaker 1: probably not off that far. But let's let's let's build
Speaker 1: in for the fact that Marist sucks. You know what,
Speaker 1: that's way builded in. Let's cut that number in half.
Speaker 1: Let's say seven points. That's a lot. All right, that's
Speaker 1: a lot. Why why are we looking at an ugly midterm?
Speaker 1: Have you bought Burger lately? Have you bought anything? I look,
Speaker 1: here's here's a story. It's it's not huge, but Fox
Speaker 1: Business hidden cost of home ownership jumps, tightening the squeeze
Speaker 1: on buyers. Now what hidden costs? Well, there are all
Speaker 1: kinds of costs that come with owning a home, but
Speaker 1: I have one that's near and dear to my heart.
Speaker 1: In fact, we got an email someone else just went
Speaker 1: through the same thing our AC went out. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure this is a complete coincidence. Our AC went out
Speaker 1: this is last summer, about five minutes after the warranty expired.
Speaker 1: So too bad, so said, you have to buy an
Speaker 1: entirely new air conditioning system for the house. The last
Speaker 1: air conditioning system I had to buy in my life
Speaker 1: was years and years and years ago. I admit that
Speaker 1: years ago. And I don't remember the sizes and brands.
Speaker 1: I know there were different ones, but it was four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. This film was
Speaker 1: nine when he gave me the price. Of course, I
Speaker 1: tried to remain calm. I said, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: another opinion, and I did. Actually I got two other opinions,
Speaker 1: and they were all roughly the same. Life is expensive now,
Speaker 1: very very expensive.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: Now I didn't get that that nine thousand dollars bill
Speaker 1: and say that's ridiculous. I'm voting for Democrats. But of
Speaker 1: course I would never do that, and you would never
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not saying that. I'm not putting that
Speaker 1: on you at all. You're not an You understand there
Speaker 1: are all kinds of things that go behind that. I
Speaker 1: know you get it, then I get it. It would
Speaker 1: never occur to me. I was mad for a variety
Speaker 1: of reasons, mainly because I didn't want to spend nine
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. But I got it, you got it. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to have a political hissy fit about it.
Speaker 1: I am not. You are not. The American people are
Speaker 1: they are? And the American people, the normies in the
Speaker 1: American people, I shouldn't say all American people. The normies
Speaker 1: in America are the ones who decide elections. They are
Speaker 1: the ones who decide elections, and that is a frustrating
Speaker 1: place to be for people who are knowledgeable and people
Speaker 1: who are involved. It's, in fact, it's one of the
Speaker 1: most maddening things in the world if you allow it
Speaker 1: to just completely take over your mind. I'll stew on
Speaker 1: this hours before I calm myself down. How is it
Speaker 1: that we're in a place that the noormy morons are
Speaker 1: the ones who will choose the direction of the United
Speaker 1: States of America? How can that be? Shouldn't it just
Speaker 1: be the most knowledgeable. Shouldn't be shouldn't it be you?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't it be me? Shouldn't it just be us who care?
Speaker 1: We care enough to pay attention. Okay, but let's not
Speaker 1: do the childhood thing and say it shouldn't be that way.
Speaker 1: It is that way. How bad is it? I'll tell
Speaker 1: you in a minute. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 1: on a wonderful Wednesday days. Ignorant people inside our elections
Speaker 1: and the drives is crazy. And I've got a I've
Speaker 1: got a doozy for you here you want to hear
Speaker 1: about that. This is from Woke Spy. The headline is
Speaker 1: ignorant people want to keep the Department of Education informed.
Speaker 1: People don't quote at the outset at fifty one percent
Speaker 1: of respondents said they opposed shutting down the department, while
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent supported the idea. Oh that's bad, So
Speaker 1: they don't want to shut down an apartment of the education, Okay.
Speaker 1: After learning that K through twelve funding would remain in
Speaker 1: place and that functions would be reassigned to other federal agencies,
Speaker 1: support rose to fifty six percent. Opposition declined to thirty percent.
Speaker 1: Now it is hard to take in and accept that
Speaker 1: these are the morons who decide elections. People will go
Speaker 1: to the polls and vote for who leads their community,
Speaker 1: their state, and their country without even the most basic
Speaker 1: knowledge of how those things actually work, of the functions
Speaker 1: of government, what they should be, what they do, what
Speaker 1: they don't do, and it drives us nuts. So as
Speaker 1: you hear me rant and rave for the next year
Speaker 1: about affordability, about inflation and immigration, inflation and immigration, inflation
Speaker 1: and immigration, try to bear with me because I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get to point through to me and to you
Speaker 1: about what will actually decide elections. And as I said before,
Speaker 1: whatever you're hot on, it's probably something very very worthy.
Speaker 1: I'm not insulting whatever issue you are hot on. Everyone
Speaker 1: has their own motivations and things they like me. You
Speaker 1: know how hot I am against abortion, I've always I've
Speaker 1: always just been that way. I'm at I'm borderline militant
Speaker 1: about it. I just despise it, despise it. I don't
Speaker 1: demand the GOP run on it. I don't also so
Speaker 1: make this critical, critical mistake. I also don't think it's
Speaker 1: an issue that matters to normies. It just doesn't. Does
Speaker 1: that mean abortion stopping it is not important? Of course, Doc,
Speaker 1: It's majorly important. We're killing babies. It's hugely important. Whatever
Speaker 1: your thing is, election integrity, hugely important. You could argue,
Speaker 1: it's everything. You could argue if you dig into Democrat
Speaker 1: cheating in elections long enough that it's the only thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not insulting your passion about it. Normans don't care.
Speaker 1: They don't care Normanis, don't care about Epstein, they don't
Speaker 1: care about all these Israel arguments people have. Normies don't
Speaker 1: really actually care that much about taxes. Did you know
Speaker 1: that normies don't care about spending. I know that's insanely said,
Speaker 1: and we can go into that more, but I'm talking
Speaker 1: about government spending. They don't care, they don't normies because
Speaker 1: they're uninformed morons. Normies they vote on what's happening in
Speaker 1: their life, in their household, and in a way that's understandable.
Speaker 1: I call them morons, but I guess that's the essence
Speaker 1: of being a normy. It's not necessarily that you're a moron.
Speaker 1: You just don't necessarily care about the politics of your country.
Speaker 1: You only care about you and focus on you, which
Speaker 1: is a bit myopic, but it is the way it is.
Speaker 1: Myopic is a great word that I learned last night, Chris.
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to work it into the
Speaker 1: show today. I worked it into the show in the
Speaker 1: first hour. I might point out, in fact, I'm going
Speaker 1: to use it again today. I might use it several
Speaker 1: times today now that I've learned a new word. Yes,
Speaker 1: I will, Chris, Why are you being so myopic? I will?
Speaker 1: That's another one. You know what, starting a tally? That's
Speaker 1: too hang on, I gotta write this down. That's too
Speaker 1: already that I've view anyway back to what we're saying.
Speaker 1: But there are also things that the administration has got
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. They know about affordability, they're talking
Speaker 1: about it a lot now, they understand they have to
Speaker 1: address it. But here's one that went right by you,
Speaker 1: almost went by me, Usdade. That's the Department of Energy.
Speaker 1: They partner with Microsoft. Do what well you've heard of
Speaker 1: three Mile Island nuclear reactor. By the way, nobody died
Speaker 1: in that disaster. I know they lied to about all that,
Speaker 1: but no one died. It was fine, It all worked fine.
Speaker 1: But three Mile Island got shut down. They're going to
Speaker 1: fire it back up again. Sweet, all right, they're given
Speaker 1: a billion dollar loan out. Sounds good. Microsoft is involved, great,
Speaker 1: sounds good. If those energy costs down, we need we
Speaker 1: need more nuclear power should be going on all over
Speaker 1: the country. Oh except Microsoft is going to buy all
Speaker 1: the energy from it for the next two decades. This
Speaker 1: is all about AI data. This is about data centers,
Speaker 1: is really what it's about, which we've discussed before on
Speaker 1: the show. These data centers are enormous. They they can't
Speaker 1: possibly build them fast enough. They're also energy suckers, like
Speaker 1: you cannot believe. They just hoover up energy. We don't
Speaker 1: have enough energy to power them fast enough. So so
Speaker 1: I understand the game. Microsoft is gonna get it. Microsoft's
Speaker 1: gonna figure figure out how everything gets built, then Microsoft's
Speaker 1: gonna get all the power from it for two decades.
Speaker 1: I understand that. Now, that's the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: looks good on the bottom line of the country but
Speaker 1: doesn't look good on your bottom line or my bottom line.
Speaker 1: And I know there are all kinds of reasons for it.
Speaker 1: I get it. But that's the kind of thing that's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt us in the midterms. How about we just
Speaker 1: built thirty new nuclear reactors and it's all going to
Speaker 1: bring down your power bill. Your power bill every month.
Speaker 1: Next month, your power bill is going to be twenty
Speaker 1: percent less because we just got a nuclear reactor on board. Boom.
Speaker 1: Now we're talking baby. Now we're ready for the midterms.
Speaker 1: Nobody in the midterms is going to go to the
Speaker 1: polls and vote for the GOP because Microsoft got their
Speaker 1: own nuclear plan. We have got to stay focused, at
Speaker 1: least our elected officials. You can still focus on what
Speaker 1: you care about. Obviously, it's not my job to tell you,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stay focused on what I care about.
Speaker 1: But we have got to make sure kitchen table issues
Speaker 1: remain at the forefront because the normies don't know any better.
Speaker 1: They know about the cost of Burger, and beyond that,
Speaker 1: they own no squad
