Speaker 1: This is a podcast from woor.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday. Yes, we'll
Speaker 2: get to the bills stuff very very briefly this hour.
Speaker 2: I want to put a final word on this race
Speaker 2: communism stuff. We'll get to emails, the COVID vaccine cover
Speaker 2: up and so much more coming up on the Jesse
Speaker 2: Kelly Show. I want to once again remind you that
Speaker 2: tomorrow is Asked Doctor Jesse Friday, and you need to
Speaker 2: get your questions emailed in now to Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 2: kellyshow dot com. So one final word on this race
Speaker 2: communism stuff, because I got a bunch of emails here, Jesse.
Speaker 2: I'm so angry about everything happening in South Africa. According
Speaker 2: to the left, Trump is ambushing the president of South Africa.
Speaker 2: It's funny you brought up that word ambushing. Western Lensman,
Speaker 2: as he often does, put together an amazing montage. You
Speaker 2: will hear news station after news station. These are different stations,
Speaker 2: different shows, all using the same word. We're going to
Speaker 2: discuss what what's happening here? What are you actually hearing
Speaker 2: in Wan? The dramatic scene in the Oval Office today,
Speaker 2: the tense confrontation President Trump ambushing the President of South Africa.
Speaker 2: Next another Oval office meltdown, President Trump ambush and the
Speaker 2: President of South Africa.
Speaker 3: President Trump is being accused of conducting something of a
Speaker 3: diplomatic ambush a South Africa's president in the Oval Office.
Speaker 4: To be with you, I'm Katie to President Trump, orchestrated
Speaker 4: another Oval office ambush today.
Speaker 5: Is today Donald Trump meeting with the President of South
Speaker 5: Africa and attempting to ambush and humiliate that leader to
Speaker 5: Zelenski territory where essentially he was a bit ambushed inside
Speaker 5: the Oval office.
Speaker 2: He felt like an ambush in there, kind of like
Speaker 2: the President's Lenski meeting in the Oval Office. This was
Speaker 2: an ambush.
Speaker 6: It was orchestrated.
Speaker 1: Little Ramaposa brought his best diplomatic self to this meeting,
Speaker 1: but nothing could have prepared for this multimedia ambush.
Speaker 5: What started us to some degree.
Speaker 2: In ambush, Well, Katie, I mean it wasn't ambushing.
Speaker 6: Ambush, ambushed, ambushed and ambushed, ambushing, ambush and ambushed inside
Speaker 6: the Oval office.
Speaker 2: Ambush. Okay, interesting, So we'll discuss the why that happens.
Speaker 2: In a moment. But what is happening Because you've heard
Speaker 2: things like this before, You've heard montages like this before
Speaker 2: that people put together, where all these communists on the
Speaker 2: news are saying the same thing with the same wording.
Speaker 1: The thing that went right was the investment over decades
Speaker 1: in the basic and clinical biomedical research that allowed us
Speaker 1: to make a vaccine in unprecedented time of less than
Speaker 1: a year that turned out to be safe and highly effective.
Speaker 4: They are safe and so effective.
Speaker 2: We know that vaccines are safe and effective. That data
Speaker 2: is so compelling that these vaccines are safe and effective.
Speaker 4: This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Our data
Speaker 4: from the CDCs today suggests you know that that vaccinated
Speaker 4: people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, So
Speaker 4: it's really quite safe for you, the vaccinated person.
Speaker 2: We got it safe and effective. They do it all
Speaker 2: the time. Remember all all the what were they were hallmarks.
Speaker 2: The FBI is now investigating whether those alleged hunter buying
Speaker 2: emails are actually connected to a larger foreign intelligence operation.
Speaker 3: They may be related to a foreign intelligence operation, foreign
Speaker 3: intelligence operation.
Speaker 2: Foreign intelligence foreign intelligence, foreign intelligence operation. For all we know,
Speaker 2: these emails are made up.
Speaker 4: The information found on the laptop may be part of
Speaker 4: a Russian disinformation campaign.
Speaker 2: Part of a Russian disinformation effort described by many intelligence
Speaker 2: experts as having.
Speaker 4: Hallmarks, all the hallmark hallmarks, rather.
Speaker 6: All the hallmarks of a Russian Russian Russian disinformation Russian disinformation,
Speaker 6: disinformation campaign.
Speaker 2: This is a classic example of the right wing media machine.
Speaker 2: What's happening there. Whenever you see every single news organization
Speaker 2: use the exact same wording to describe anything at all,
Speaker 2: Here's what you have to understand. Every time, it's a lie.
Speaker 2: Whatever they're saying is a lie, and they know it's
Speaker 2: a lie. Therefore they're all repeating it. They're repeating it
Speaker 2: loudly because you can make people believe lies with enough repetition.
Speaker 2: They get together, they decide on the lie, and then
Speaker 2: they push that lie as hard and fast as they
Speaker 2: possibly can. Whenever every single media organization is using the
Speaker 2: exact same talking point, you know they're lying. And I
Speaker 2: say that not for the past, for the future, because
Speaker 2: they will do this again, because they do it all
Speaker 2: the time. Chris and I could sit and play for
Speaker 2: you montage after montage after montage of this happening on
Speaker 2: every single issue. What about the election? And no, Chris,
Speaker 2: you don't have to dig up anymore. What about the election?
Speaker 2: The safest and fairest. It was the safest than fairest.
Speaker 2: We could all agree it was safe and fair, free
Speaker 2: and fair, safe, and oh you have it, Chris, go ahead,
Speaker 2: guy fire.
Speaker 4: The reality is this was the most secure election we've
Speaker 4: ever had, and it was one of the most well
Speaker 4: run elections we've ever had.
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of this is just really a
Speaker 5: strategy to erode public confidence in what was a very
Speaker 5: well run, secure election.
Speaker 2: You know what transparency would be. Yeah, we got secure.
Speaker 2: It was secure. It was definitely secure. It's most secure,
Speaker 2: very secure, totally secure. That's how I knew they were lying,
Speaker 2: and I knew they stole the election. I didn't know
Speaker 2: until then because I've learned after enough time watching these people,
Speaker 2: when they're repeating the exact same thing, it's a lie.
Speaker 2: It's an outright lie every single time. That's the what.
Speaker 2: Now let's go to the why. Why Why is the
Speaker 2: American the American media, why are they so upset about
Speaker 2: Donald Trump showing a South African dictator? That's what that
Speaker 2: guy really is, showing a South African dictator and showing
Speaker 2: the American media the obvious oppression of white people by
Speaker 2: the South African government. Because that's they're upset. That's why
Speaker 2: they all decided to agree on these exact same wording
Speaker 2: in the lie. What upsets them about it, Well, you see,
Speaker 2: when you've worked as long and as hard as these
Speaker 2: people have to paint white people as the devil of history,
Speaker 2: everything is white people's fault. White people are the source
Speaker 2: of all evil. Any other skin color is saintly imperfect.
Speaker 2: And they've ever done anything wrong. They've just been oppressed
Speaker 2: by evil whiteye. And once you've achieved what they've achieved.
Speaker 2: Ingraining that way of thinking into so many people in society,
Speaker 2: you simply cannot afford white people of any stripe of
Speaker 2: any nation to actually be victims of some sort of
Speaker 2: a crime. That's why the media won't report on white
Speaker 2: on black crime in the country. If they have to,
Speaker 2: they'll bend over backwards to avoid any actual details of
Speaker 2: the thing. It's why over there in Germany, some crazy
Speaker 2: Islamic nutball goes and stabs as many people as possible.
Speaker 2: His race, his ethnicity, his name will be protected at
Speaker 2: any cost the other people. If anything they'll be blamed
Speaker 2: for the whole thing. You see, they have put into
Speaker 2: place a system that must be protected, and that system
Speaker 2: is white people evil everyone else saintly. It's really honestly.
Speaker 2: As I said before, you know, I actually don't support
Speaker 2: taking in any refugees from South Africa because I don't
Speaker 2: support currently taking in any refugees from anywhere anywhere, not one.
Speaker 2: We are full, get them out everybody. However, as I
Speaker 2: said before, I'm thrilled Trump did it, because wow, did
Speaker 2: it expose the game we just discussed. And the game
Speaker 2: is simply, white people are the enemy. They shall be smashed,
Speaker 2: and they deserve to be smashed anywhere you find them.
Speaker 2: Everyone else perfect white people enemy. And it works. It works.
Speaker 2: It's extremely effective on people. And maybe the wildest thing
Speaker 2: about all this race communism is ninety nine percent of
Speaker 2: the people who practice it don't even know they're communists.
Speaker 2: They don't have any idea. They think they're civil rights fighters,
Speaker 2: or they think they're just fighting for justice or that,
Speaker 2: but really they're race communists. It's what they are, all right. Now,
Speaker 2: let's talk about this on this vote.
Speaker 6: Yaser two hundred and fifteen, the nayser two hundred and
Speaker 6: fourteen with one answering present, the bill is passed.
Speaker 2: Let's say, big beautiful bill pass Congress with the lamest
Speaker 2: USA chant ever. Caroline Levitt talked about it today.
Speaker 5: This one big Beautiful Bill will implement President Trump's Make
Speaker 5: America Great Again agenda by delivering the largest tax cut
Speaker 5: in American history for middle class families, the working class,
Speaker 5: and small businesses. The One Big Beautiful Bill fulfills President
Speaker 5: Trump's promises of no tax on tips, which was a
Speaker 5: spotted today by the CEO of Uber no tax on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got all that. We'll discuss it briefly, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you why it's going to be
Speaker 2: so brief in a moment that we'll do some emails
Speaker 2: and move on to some COVID stuff. Let me talk
Speaker 2: to you about saving money, because as inflation continues, let's
Speaker 2: be honest, it's not gone. You know, it's not gone.
Speaker 2: Saving money is important. Saving money is always important. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of reasons to switch to pure talk. Saving
Speaker 2: money maybe the top reason. It's not my top reason,
Speaker 2: but it's certainly towards the top. I'll tell you that
Speaker 2: I just I used to get our cell phone bill
Speaker 2: from T Mobile, and I was just floored. I was floored.
Speaker 2: I remember the night I sat down with AB and asked,
Speaker 2: do we need all this coverage? Can we drop a
Speaker 2: line at that kind of crazy pricing? Our bill got
Speaker 2: cut in half when we switched to Pure Talk, and
Speaker 2: my coverage got better, better, not worse. Switch to Pure Talk. Man,
Speaker 2: it takes ten minutes or less. You're on the phone
Speaker 2: with an American who speaks English. They make it painless.
Speaker 2: Your bill goes down. There's no reason not to switch. None.
Speaker 2: Their CEO fought for this country in the jungles of Vietnam.
Speaker 2: That's why they only do patriotic things. Never black lives
Speaker 2: matter stuff. Pick up your phone dial pound two five
Speaker 2: zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two five zero, Say
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly, We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show. I
Speaker 2: like it. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a wonderful,
Speaker 2: wonderful Thursday. Let's get to some of the emails to
Speaker 2: clear out some room for themorrow. Jesse. The main purpose
Speaker 2: of the tariffs is to bring jobs back to the
Speaker 2: USA that went overseas to China, in particular. That should
Speaker 2: be the conservative theme instead of falling for the Democrats
Speaker 2: cost narrative. Okay, let's talk about that. That's certainly worthy
Speaker 2: of a discussion. First, let's understand motivations here. I want
Speaker 2: American jobs back here. I want American manufacturing back here.
Speaker 2: And it's not only for national security reasons, although that's
Speaker 2: a real that's a nice sell, and it's true. I
Speaker 2: want American jobs here because I like Americans, and I
Speaker 2: want Americans to have good jobs, good careers. And know
Speaker 2: not that you have to go to college for nineteen
Speaker 2: thousand years to get one. You used to be able
Speaker 2: to have a real, nice job, a nice career in
Speaker 2: this country without that, and I believe in that. So
Speaker 2: let's be crystal clear on that. Two, let's be crystal
Speaker 2: clear on this. There are things that you believe and
Speaker 2: things that I believe that we're never going to be
Speaker 2: able to sell to the American public. And I get that.
Speaker 2: In fact, the bill is going to come into play here. Look,
Speaker 2: you know what, Actually the bill's perfect. We'll come back
Speaker 2: to the tariffs. Because I was going to finish up
Speaker 2: my thoughts on the bill. Thomas Massey got up today.
Speaker 2: He's the one who stood against the bill, you know,
Speaker 2: past the House, and Massey said this.
Speaker 6: We'd love to stand here and tell the American people
Speaker 6: we can cut your taxes and we can increase spending
Speaker 6: and everything's going to.
Speaker 2: Be just fine.
Speaker 6: But I can't do that because I'm here to deliver
Speaker 6: a dose reality. This bill dramatically increases deficits in the
Speaker 6: near term, but promises our government will be fiscally responsible
Speaker 6: five years from now. Where have we heard that before?
Speaker 6: How do you bind a future Congress to these promises?
Speaker 6: This bill is a debt bomb ticking. Congress can do
Speaker 6: funny math, fantasy math if it wants, but bond investors don't.
Speaker 6: And this week they sent us a message. Moody's downgraded
Speaker 6: our credit rating, and the bond investors who buy our
Speaker 6: debt and finance our debt.
Speaker 2: There are things we can't sell to the American people.
Speaker 2: I told you I was gonna tell you something, so
Speaker 2: let me tell it to you now. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: how often I'm gonna rant on spending anymore. I am
Speaker 2: passionate about this because I understand what happens to countries
Speaker 2: when the debt becomes too much, and it's horrific. I
Speaker 2: will always be passionate about it. But I can't make
Speaker 2: people care. I can't. People don't care. You may care,
Speaker 2: but the masses don't care. And it doesn't matter how
Speaker 2: much I yell and scream about inflation or whatever. And
Speaker 2: it's not just the left. Don't say it's just the left.
Speaker 2: The right doesn't care either. The right does not care.
Speaker 2: The GOP doesn't care. The left doesn't care. Every time
Speaker 2: there's a new president, they destroy absolutely blow through the budget,
Speaker 2: They blow through the treasury. Every president increases spending, it
Speaker 2: just goes up, up, up, up up without and Obama
Speaker 2: spent more, and then Trump spent more than Obama, and
Speaker 2: then Biden spent more than Trump, and now the second
Speaker 2: Trump is gonna spend more and there's never, ever, ever,
Speaker 2: any stop to it. And the right is not angry
Speaker 2: about it. The right pretends to be angry about it,
Speaker 2: but they actually don't want to cut any spending. And
Speaker 2: you know what, I came to the conclusion, and maybe
Speaker 2: I'm just being poudy and whiny right now. I came
Speaker 2: to the conclusion this morning that I just need to
Speaker 2: stop talking about the debt and stop caring about the debt.
Speaker 2: I actually got this text from a friend, a good friend,
Speaker 2: a little while ago, and well, I'll read it to
Speaker 2: your verbaid, And what did he say? Nobody is serious
Speaker 2: about the debt. We just party until the debt bomb
Speaker 2: goes off. A waste of breath to pretend anyone wants
Speaker 2: to stop it anymore. I'm gonna come back to the tariffs. Okay,
Speaker 2: we are gonna come back. I'm not changing the subject,
Speaker 2: but it the budget talk led me perfectly into the
Speaker 2: debt talk. I don't know how often you're gonna hear
Speaker 2: me yell about it on the show. Not because I
Speaker 2: don't care, but because people don't care. I believe I
Speaker 2: don't want to sound too black peeled and have you
Speaker 2: here on a Thursday. I believe the United States of
Speaker 2: America is going to continue to spend insane amounts of money,
Speaker 2: no matter who's in charge, and it will not stop
Speaker 2: until there is a crisis that we can't talk or
Speaker 2: threaten our way out of, and then the pain will
Speaker 2: be unimaginable. And the only thing I'm going to have
Speaker 2: when that day comes is I told you so, That's
Speaker 2: all I'm going to have. And that won't even feel good.
Speaker 2: None of it will feel good. It's going to be
Speaker 2: awful and nothing will stop it. People don't care. The
Speaker 2: American people want their stuff. They want whatever, a check,
Speaker 2: a new Air Force base, a paved highway they want.
Speaker 2: The American people want their stuff. They want brand new ships.
Speaker 2: Then they want Navy ships. Even I'm not even saying
Speaker 2: all the stuff is bad, but they want stuff. There's
Speaker 2: no more for the money is gone. But why waste
Speaker 2: my breath? Republicans don't care. Democrats don't care. Everyone pretends
Speaker 2: when the other guy is spending. When Democrats get into
Speaker 2: office and they're sending all your money to queer up kids,
Speaker 2: then we act like we're scared. We act like we're
Speaker 2: scared of the debt and we're upset about the whole thing.
Speaker 2: We got to stop this spending, and vice versa. Republicans
Speaker 2: get elected and they hand out large quantities of money,
Speaker 2: gigantic port This doesn't even cut the Green New Deal.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. It cuts portions upday, hundreds of millions of
Speaker 2: dollars for the Inflation Inflation Reduction Act still in here.
Speaker 2: You know why it's in there because the Republican districts
Speaker 2: want the money. Why waste my breath? How many of
Speaker 2: those Republicans who signed up for Green New Deal money?
Speaker 2: How many will lose their election because of it?
Speaker 1: Zero?
Speaker 2: Not one? Why waste my breath? Now? This us back
Speaker 2: to the tariff talk. We'll tie this in. You said,
Speaker 2: stop talking about the costs. Is the Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 2: on a fantastic Thursday. Do not forget tomorrow's ask doctor
Speaker 2: Jesse Friday. You need to get your questions emailed in
Speaker 2: now to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Jewish producer
Speaker 2: Chris was asking me during the break what happens during
Speaker 2: this debt crisis that I'm not going to talk about anymore.
Speaker 2: When when foreign entities and domestic entities decide they're going
Speaker 2: to stop buying American debt because American debt is too
Speaker 2: risky to buy, the world moves off of the reserve currency.
Speaker 2: What happens is your standard of living will drop in
Speaker 2: ways that seem unimaginable. Let me let me paint a
Speaker 2: little picture here. Let's say we're just going to use
Speaker 2: very even numbers that are not accurate. But we're gonna
Speaker 2: use even numbers for U for simplicity sake. Okay, so
Speaker 2: let's use this. We as a household, you and me,
Speaker 2: we're a family, right. Hey, look, you're my brother or something.
Speaker 2: Let's not make it weird, or my sister or something. Whatever.
Speaker 2: We're a family. But we live in the same house.
Speaker 2: We bring one hundred thousand dollars a year together, right,
Speaker 2: But we have credit cards. We have pretty good credit score,
Speaker 2: so we don't just have credit cards. You know what,
Speaker 2: We each have American Express platinums. Have you ever seen
Speaker 2: one of these things? An American Express Platinum. It's like
Speaker 2: super thick, It's like this piece of metal. And get this,
Speaker 2: there's no limit. We have such good credit scores that
Speaker 2: there is no limit on our credit card.
Speaker 1: None.
Speaker 2: If you want to walk into Chevy tomorrow and slap
Speaker 2: down a credit card to buy a Corvette, they may
Speaker 2: hit you for some credit card fees, but it'll go through.
Speaker 2: So we have no limit because our credit is so good,
Speaker 2: and that kind of spending power can be dangerous. Right now,
Speaker 2: I already said we bring in one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a year. But here's the problem. Yeah, that pays for
Speaker 2: the house and a couple of cars. But really, really
Speaker 2: really fallen in love with San Diego. The weather is
Speaker 2: really nice. We're gonna start going out there three four
Speaker 2: times a year, We'll spend a week at a really
Speaker 2: nice hotel, drinks, steaks. Long story short, we're putting fifty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year on the credit card because it
Speaker 2: exceeds the one hundred thousand dollars we make. I'm right,
Speaker 2: But there's other things that go into that fifty grand.
Speaker 2: You see, I bought a new car, do it on
Speaker 2: the credit card. New shoes, credit card, life, wanted some
Speaker 2: new earrings, credit card. The one hundred thousand. It's paying
Speaker 2: the basics, the cars and everything. Now, we have done
Speaker 2: this for ten years. For ten years we've been flying
Speaker 2: to San Diego, buying new earrings, buying new cars, putting
Speaker 2: it on the credit card. But the problem is those
Speaker 2: bills are piling up, and the bills are piling up,
Speaker 2: and at some point in time, you can't pay your
Speaker 2: credit card bill to American Express anymore. The bills have
Speaker 2: gotten too high, the debt has gotten too high, and
Speaker 2: you have to call AMAX and you have to have
Speaker 2: that terrible conversation, Hey, ooh, is there anything we can do?
Speaker 2: I can't I can't pay anymore. Well, there may be
Speaker 2: things you can do, but you're not going to have
Speaker 2: an American Express Platinum anymore. They're going to cancel that
Speaker 2: credit card. Now, let's think about our household. We've been
Speaker 2: living like this for ten years. For ten years, we've
Speaker 2: been going to San Diego. I love San Diego. They
Speaker 2: have Sea World. For ten years, it's been pretty new
Speaker 2: danglely earrings, new cars, new shoes, new guns for Jesse.
Speaker 2: Ten years. Now that all stops. Not only that, it's
Speaker 2: actually worse because maybe you're thinking, well, now you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to live within your one hundred thousand dollars a
Speaker 2: year means oh no, no, no, no, you don't understand. You
Speaker 2: just piled up all that debt that still has to
Speaker 2: be paid off. Now instead of living on one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars a year, now you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to find a way to live on fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a year because the other fifty is gonna have to
Speaker 2: go to pay off the debt you just paid. As
Speaker 2: a country, here's what it looks like. We spend trillions
Speaker 2: with a tee more than we take in. Now, we
Speaker 2: spend trillions more every single year. What this has done
Speaker 2: is its artificially inflated our standard of living as mass
Speaker 2: quantities of government money is injected into the money, into
Speaker 2: the markets and everything. We are only allowed to do
Speaker 2: this because the AMX platinum hasn't been canceled yet. That
Speaker 2: MX platinum is the world and domestic for an end,
Speaker 2: domestic buying our debt. They were always buying our debt
Speaker 2: because our credit score was so good. We were a
Speaker 2: guarantee that American debt will always pay off in the end.
Speaker 2: When they decide that's too risky, they stop buying the debt.
Speaker 2: When they stop buying the debt, everything in your life changes.
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound personal, it will be very personal. You
Speaker 2: think inflation is bad, now, what do you think government's
Speaker 2: going to do when that day comes. They're going to
Speaker 2: try to print their way out of it like every
Speaker 2: other government does, thus destroying the value of your money.
Speaker 2: You may think you'll have to live within your means.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no no, You're gonna live well
Speaker 2: below your means because your money's going to go less
Speaker 2: far and all this stuff. I shouldn't even be bothering
Speaker 2: talking about it because nobody gives a crap. Nobody cares,
Speaker 2: Congress doesn't care, President doesn't care, Nobody cares. Everybody wants
Speaker 2: to do things. I'm wanna do things. No, give me
Speaker 2: more money. I'm gonna do things. I can't not do things.
Speaker 1: I'm here.
Speaker 2: Let me do things. I want to go to Sea World.
Speaker 2: I love San Diego. I'm used to it. Now. Can't
Speaker 2: we go to San Diego? Can't we? I mean, can't
Speaker 2: we build a brand new navy.
Speaker 3: The one thing the President truly understands is in order
Speaker 3: to be a superpower, you need to have a navy.
Speaker 3: If you don't control the sea, you're not a superpower.
Speaker 3: So to me, the reason America is a superpower, there's
Speaker 3: three reasons.
Speaker 2: There's a US Navy, there's a US.
Speaker 3: Dollar, and there's the American capitalist system in the American people,
Speaker 3: and that's why we have it.
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna kill that guy or say he
Speaker 2: said anything wrong there. That's John Falan. He's the Secretary
Speaker 2: of the Navy. And I'm not going to say Trump
Speaker 2: is wrong for wanting a powerful navy. He's not necessarily wrong.
Speaker 2: But how are we paying for that? What money? We're
Speaker 2: going to have the biggest, beautiful, most powerful navy patrolling
Speaker 2: the shores with no fuel in it, patrolling the shores
Speaker 2: of a country in a debt crisis. You can't imagine.
Speaker 2: So let me bring this all the way back home
Speaker 2: to the guy who said we need to stop the
Speaker 2: Democrat cost narrative of tariffs. This is not a pro
Speaker 2: or anti tariff argument I'm making, But let me get
Speaker 2: this out of the way, right out of the bat
Speaker 2: right out of the gates.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 2: You cannot sell higher costs to the American people. They
Speaker 2: will not buy it. Not for any length of time.
Speaker 2: You cannot. The Communists have tried this forever. Jimmy Carter
Speaker 2: tried it too. Hey, just put out a sweater if
Speaker 2: you're cold. It does not work. The most impossible sell
Speaker 2: in politics is selling people why they should do with less,
Speaker 2: why their life should get worse. I don't know how
Speaker 2: all the tariff stuff and trade deal stuff is going
Speaker 2: to work out, and I don't want to pretend like
Speaker 2: I do, and I don't want to act like I'm
Speaker 2: against the whole thing. That's not what I'm saying. But
Speaker 2: don't think costs. Don't think that's some kind of Democrat narrative.
Speaker 2: You cannot sell a lower standard of living to people
Speaker 2: under any circumstances, and in no country if you're in Korea, Russia, America, Zimbabwe,
Speaker 2: I don't care where it is. You cannot stand up
Speaker 2: in front of the people and tell them to do
Speaker 2: with less and expect them to be happy. It does
Speaker 2: not work that way. It doesn't work that way. Human
Speaker 2: beings don't voluntarily reduce their standard of living. It will
Speaker 2: not happen. All right, All right, now, I do want
Speaker 2: to address the bringing jobs back to America? Bringing jobs?
Speaker 2: How do we bring these jobs back? On top of
Speaker 2: you know, putting in things like tariffs and things like that.
Speaker 2: What else do we do? Let's discuss that before we
Speaker 2: discuss that. Speaking of America, did you know that Berna
Speaker 2: is American? We've never actually talked about that. Berna b
Speaker 2: y Rna. You know the Compact Launcher, their newest thing,
Speaker 2: four point zero seven inches long. It's the size of
Speaker 2: a smartphone. Right in your shorts, right in your purse,
Speaker 2: right in your pants. Carry something on you that you
Speaker 2: can stop a bad man with at all times. Can
Speaker 2: you imagine the terror of getting to your car and
Speaker 2: seeing a bad man standing there ready to hurt you?
Speaker 2: How are you going to stop him? What's your plan? Scream?
Speaker 2: Pull out your burn a launcher and shoot him in
Speaker 2: the chest. He will live. It's legal in all fifty states.
Speaker 2: No permit, no background check. You didn't take a life.
Speaker 2: He'll want to die because the tear gas ball is
Speaker 2: going to hurt really bad, but he'll live. And did
Speaker 2: you know these things are hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana?
Speaker 2: Did you know that I love these guys. Go to
Speaker 2: Berna dot com slash Jesse. That's b why Berna dot
Speaker 2: com slash Jesse. You want to try one. By the way,
Speaker 2: you can go try one for free. They have places
Speaker 2: you can try one. Just go look up their stores
Speaker 2: Berna dot com slash Jesse. We'll be back, Jesus, it
Speaker 2: is the Jesse Kelly Show. Do not worry. We still
Speaker 2: have more than an hour left. I mean a little
Speaker 2: bit more than an hour left. But remember if you
Speaker 2: miss any part of the show, you can download the
Speaker 2: whole thing. iHeart Spotify iTunes. We'll get to the COVID
Speaker 2: stuff and in a few and I want to get
Speaker 2: to some more emails, but I just want to address
Speaker 2: this final point. It was an email about tariffs and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and it was good, but it was
Speaker 2: about the jobs, how we need these American jobs back
Speaker 2: because we do. We need the American jobs back. We
Speaker 2: can never I don't care tariffs, no tariffs whatever. We
Speaker 2: can never create the kind of jobs we used to
Speaker 2: have in this country while simultaneously making the business environment awful.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way. It's not humanly possible. You're
Speaker 2: trying to force something that cannot be forced. I am
Speaker 2: not saying we need to go to slave wages or
Speaker 2: I don't believe in that at all. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But you cannot simultaneously have endless labor laws,
Speaker 2: endless environmental laws while also bringing back American jobs, American
Speaker 2: manufacturing in the way you used to have it. I know,
Speaker 2: you might strike a trade deal to build a factor
Speaker 2: here or there, and I'm not complaining about that stuff.
Speaker 2: I want that stuff. I want those jobs back. But
Speaker 2: part of the reason the rust Belt turned into the
Speaker 2: rust belt is we allowed American democrats to make America
Speaker 2: not hospitable to businesses. China of course pounced on this.
Speaker 2: Granted they were lying, but China of course pounced on this,
Speaker 2: and they told all those American businesses, Hey, you know
Speaker 2: who doesn't have an EPA me, come on over here.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to send it an inspector to make
Speaker 2: sure you're not putting on well, we tested the co
Speaker 2: two levels. You're not getting that here in China. Come
Speaker 2: make your shoes over here. And American businesses said, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm going overseas. Until that changes, we will
Speaker 2: not get significant, lasting change bringing back American manufacturing. If
Speaker 2: you want to do it permanently, it won't come from
Speaker 2: a trade deal or a tariff. Eliminate the EPA. You
Speaker 2: really want to bring back these jobs, Take the EPA,
Speaker 2: fire everybody there, reduce their budget to zero, demo the
Speaker 2: building to the ground, pass the law through Congress eliminating
Speaker 2: it completely, and voila, American manufacturing jobs will begin. We'll
Speaker 2: begin to appear again. But you cannot determine every species.
Speaker 2: Every animal species is endangered. Every sort of factory output,
Speaker 2: no matter what it is, factory waste, whether it's in
Speaker 2: the air of the ground, it's all super toxic that
Speaker 2: you're either not allowed to put out or you need
Speaker 2: a special permitter. And I'm not even I'm not here
Speaker 2: saying that we should go back to the days where
Speaker 2: you just dump the factory waste in the river and
Speaker 2: pray for the best. That's the last thing in the
Speaker 2: world I want. I believe in protecting the environment, But
Speaker 2: you cannot have regulation after regulation, permit after permit, tax
Speaker 2: after fine after fee after tax after fine after fee,
Speaker 2: and then eliminate all that red tape by a tariff.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way at all. Make the business
Speaker 2: environment welcoming or the jobs don't come back, not permanently anyway.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to the uh, the COVID stuff,
Speaker 2: which is a little bit ugly, so we'll wit on that. Jesse.
Speaker 2: The other night we were having dinner with old friends.
Speaker 2: The topic of naming our children, who are all adults,
Speaker 2: and how we decided on those names came up. May
Speaker 2: I ask how you and ob chose James and Luke.
Speaker 2: Is it after family or biblical in nature? Luke is
Speaker 2: a great name, sounds like a John Wayne character. Uh, yes,
Speaker 2: well it's not family. We wanted. Look, we're both simple people,
Speaker 2: very very simple, basic people, and we wanted It's just
Speaker 2: a personal preference. You know, I'm not saying everyone has
Speaker 2: to be like me. We wanted, Yes, we wanted them
Speaker 2: to be biblical. So yes, James and lucas biblical New
Speaker 2: Testament Chris, and we wanted them to be basic, direct
Speaker 2: guy names. That's what we wanted. We debated Sam Jake
Speaker 2: the basic direct guy names. That's what we wanted, and
Speaker 2: that's why we chose the names. And it was actually
Speaker 2: fairly easy. Hey Jesse, longtime listener from the Red from
Speaker 2: Blood Red, Alabama. I'm not sure I've ever heard your
Speaker 2: take on this. I've always believed that Lincoln was a tyrant.
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln for forcing seceding states back into the Union
Speaker 2: through war. It's a spicy take. I know. My question.
Speaker 2: Had the Confederacy won their independence in the War of
Speaker 2: Northern Aggression? He said civil war in Kami language. Could
Speaker 2: want to argue that the Union may not have had
Speaker 2: the military strength to make an impact in World War
Speaker 2: One and World War II two and perhaps sitting it
Speaker 2: out entirely. We appreciate what you, Chris and Corey do
Speaker 2: for America. Says his name is Luke actually, oh and
Speaker 2: he has his first grand baby on the way. How
Speaker 2: about that he and his wife have their first grand baby.
Speaker 2: That's freaking cool. Congratulations. Okay, So the question is, what
Speaker 2: if Lincoln didn't force the South back into the Union,
Speaker 2: does America even get involved in WW one or WW two.
Speaker 2: I think that would be the pro Lincoln argument. And
Speaker 2: hear me out, this is what I mean, This is
Speaker 2: what I mean. I'm not making that pro Lincoln argument.
Speaker 2: But if someone was to make the pro Lincoln argument,
Speaker 2: here's what they'd say. Well, that's why Lincoln insisted that
Speaker 2: America stay together by any means. Lincoln took the entire
Speaker 2: Constitution and he wiped his butt with it, and he
Speaker 2: threw it in the trash can in order to force
Speaker 2: the South to stay in the Union, because he believed
Speaker 2: at anything and everything was permissible in pursuit of that goal.
Speaker 2: If you have to abuse, if you have to violate
Speaker 2: the Constitution, if you have to start a war, if
Speaker 2: you have to kill, no matter what, the South must
Speaker 2: stay in the Union, and especially in southern circles. Everyone
Speaker 2: listening in the South right now, they're saying, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: because Lincoln was a dirty tyrant, And that's actually very fair.
Speaker 2: I'm not debating that. However, Lincoln would tell you if
Speaker 2: he was alive today, well, do you enjoy America being
Speaker 2: the biggest, most powerful country on earth? They wouldn't have
Speaker 2: been if I had let half the country split off.
Speaker 2: I'm just playing Devil's advocate. That's what he would say.
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating argument. I love talking civil war and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. It always makes people mad. I'll have
Speaker 2: a bunch of angry emails about it tomorrow. Jesse at
Speaker 2: jesse kellyshow dot com. Pour in your hate. Totally fine,
Speaker 2: doesn't bother me at all.
