Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun.
Speaker 2: On a Tuesday and election day, and we're actually about
Speaker 2: to have a talk about elections here on the world
Speaker 2: famous Jesse Kelly Show on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Obviously, we're not really going to know anything tonight, so
Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll recap the good, the bad, the ugly fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to me and still in line at
Speaker 1: a polling place somewhere, stay in line and vote. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll get to elections in a few but that's not
Speaker 1: all we have tonight. There's something very very big I
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. After we talk about elections,
Speaker 1: we are going to have a discussion about stories and
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories and things that are going to matter for
Speaker 1: your life and my life, for the rest of your life,
Speaker 1: certainly the rest of your political involvement, and it's time
Speaker 1: we had a talk. So we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: Then we'll get to Democrats buying votes. We'll make fun
Speaker 1: of Michelle Obama, Joe Manchins in the news. We're finally
Speaker 1: getting the smallest amount of COVID accountability. It's not enough,
Speaker 1: but at least did something all that emails so much
Speaker 1: more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show.
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, I'm going to play something
Speaker 1: for you. I want you to just sit and listen.
Speaker 1: It's not very long. This is former Assistant Attorney General
Speaker 1: for Civil Rights Kristin Clark. Kristin Clark knee deep in
Speaker 1: the DOJ. Listen to this.
Speaker 3: This Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice and
Speaker 3: racial equity, and ensuring that we have environmental justice for
Speaker 3: vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Let me play it again. This is not some social worker,
Speaker 1: kindergarten teacher, activists on a street quarter street corner. Was
Speaker 1: not a Hollywood actress, professor at Columbia Democrat politician. This
Speaker 1: human being had real significant power in the justice system.
Speaker 1: This human being did things like use that power against
Speaker 1: pro life activists so she could just throw some of
Speaker 1: her political opponents in jail. Let me the play we
Speaker 1: played against.
Speaker 3: This Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice and
Speaker 3: racial equity, and ensuring that we have environmental justice for
Speaker 3: vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Now, do you know where she's at now at this
Speaker 1: exact moment? You know where she's at. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. We don't have a tracker on her.
Speaker 1: But you know where she's not. She's not in the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice anymore. She's not there in the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice using the government as a weapon against you
Speaker 1: and me. She's not able to do that anymore. She
Speaker 1: had that power, she, like all demonic communists, used that
Speaker 1: power against good people as hard and fast as she
Speaker 1: possibly could. But she does not have that power anymore.
Speaker 1: And do you know why she doesn't have that power anymore?
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because you voted. That's why, because
Speaker 1: when election day came around this past November, you didn't
Speaker 1: swallow the blackpill. Voting doesn't matter. We can't vote our
Speaker 1: way out of this. You didn't do that. You got
Speaker 1: up off your cauch. Maybe you brought a friend, Maybe
Speaker 1: you brought your mom. Maybe you brought your husband or
Speaker 1: your wife or your son. Maybe you sent out a
Speaker 1: group text. Maybe you donated your time, maybe you donated money.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know what all you did specifically, but
Speaker 1: you didn't throw your hands up, give it up. Elections
Speaker 1: don't matter. You got up off the couch, and you're
Speaker 1: a human being with things to do. You have obligations, duties.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're a stay at home mom, maybe you have
Speaker 1: a job, maybe you're both, maybe you have school. But
Speaker 1: you set aside time in your day and you voted today.
Speaker 1: I live in Texas. It's not just New York, New Jersey, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Critical elections happening all over the country today. And believe me,
Speaker 1: I'm not singing my praises here. Left the house an
Speaker 1: hour early. Why it's election day. Critically important votes happened
Speaker 1: today in my area an hour early. I would have
Speaker 1: loved to sit at home for another hour in my robe,
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm a rope guy. Instead, I got
Speaker 1: all my stuff done, got in the shower, and took off.
Speaker 1: And then when I got there, of course the machines
Speaker 1: fritzed out. No, there was nothing the farious going on.
Speaker 1: They had to reboot the machine, so the line's going
Speaker 1: out the door. It was like, I got the ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen minute process. But you know what I voted,
Speaker 1: and you know why, because it matters a lot. Elections matter,
Speaker 1: your participation in elections matters, and we can fool ourselves
Speaker 1: because we all just look. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times you got to vote today. It was just one
Speaker 1: for me. I'm just one person. I only get to
Speaker 1: vote once. It's the only political power I have. With
Speaker 1: the exception of whatever influence we have, you know, you
Speaker 1: with your your your friend's circle, with your social media profile.
Speaker 1: I would I realize I have some level of influence
Speaker 1: because of the show and whatnot, But really, my only
Speaker 1: tangible political power is my vote. And I am a
Speaker 1: free citizen and I used it today. I made a
Speaker 1: tiny sacrifice, left the house an hour early, and I voted.
Speaker 1: The reason Donald Trump is in the White House and
Speaker 1: not Dome, not Kamala Harris. The reason our Secretary of
Speaker 1: War is bouncing around the military kicking out all the
Speaker 1: trainees and making our military a sharpened spear. The reason
Speaker 1: this person's not at the DOJ.
Speaker 3: And same Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice
Speaker 3: and racial equity and ensuring that we have environmental justice
Speaker 3: for vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Is because you voted, because you recognize that elections matter,
Speaker 1: and you got up, you got involved, You made sacrifices.
Speaker 1: Maybe your sacrifice was small, maybe it was an hour
Speaker 1: of your day. Maybe your sacrifices were great. Maybe you've
Speaker 1: run for office, maybe you're now in office. Maybe you organized,
Speaker 1: maybe you worked. Whatever the sacrifice was, you did it,
Speaker 1: you got involved. We won elections. And now look, hey,
Speaker 1: it didn't make everything perfect. We got problems on top
Speaker 1: of problems on top of problems. It didn't make everything perfect.
Speaker 1: It didn't solve everything. It certainly didn't solve it all overnight.
Speaker 1: But we are in such a better place because you
Speaker 1: voted and we won. Now, like I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: a journalist. I Am not going to dedicate anytime on
Speaker 1: tonight's show to whatever breaking news from this precinct in
Speaker 1: Virginia or this pre sink in New Jersey. But that's brutal.
Speaker 1: We're not going to know until tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will
Speaker 1: digest the results. If we have results, you know how
Speaker 1: it's been working. We will digest the results and we
Speaker 1: will talk about them. But elections matter for better in
Speaker 1: for words, good and bad. Elections matter you in your lifetime.
Speaker 1: If you are old enough, you've lost a million of them,
Speaker 1: and not only does it hurt on election night, you
Speaker 1: look around and you see the results of losing one,
Speaker 1: and man, it hurts, And hopefully you've won a bunch
Speaker 1: two when you look around and you think, Wow, thank
Speaker 1: goodness for New York City tonight. I don't know how
Speaker 1: it's going to go. I don't know if a New
Speaker 1: Yorker is going to wake up tomorrow and this guy's
Speaker 1: man pay for it, who's going to end up putting
Speaker 1: the bill for those programs? Well, I answer my question.
Speaker 1: My first, explain some of the endorsements that Andrew Cuoma
Speaker 1: has received. If you're a New Yorker and you wake
Speaker 1: up tomorrow and that guy is going to be the
Speaker 1: next mayor of New York, you are going to be
Speaker 1: in for very hard times. You have watched the slow,
Speaker 1: steady degradation of the world's greatest city. You have watched
Speaker 1: it turn into a place that smells like pe garbage
Speaker 1: and weed. You have watched as people get thrown in
Speaker 1: front of subway cars, stabbed shot. You have watched it,
Speaker 1: and all of that is going to be worse. If
Speaker 1: you wake up tomorrow and ma'am Donnie's mayor can't make
Speaker 1: that better? I can. I'm not going to sugarcoat it
Speaker 1: for you. Elections matter. Elections matter a lot. Who leads
Speaker 1: a society we look we don't like politicians. I don't
Speaker 1: like them. You don't like them, but they you occupy
Speaker 1: critically important positions of power in our society. And who
Speaker 1: leads our society at any level, local, state or federal
Speaker 1: does matter. Elections, for better or worse. They're a really
Speaker 1: really big deal. And some you'll win, some you'll lose.
Speaker 1: Maybe we will wake up tomorrow. Look, I voted on
Speaker 1: hugely important things in the state of Texas, constitutional amendments
Speaker 1: on everything from bail reform to parental right, stuff that
Speaker 1: hugely important things. Maybe I will wake up tomorrow and
Speaker 1: maybe we lost the bunch and it's gonna hurt. Maybe
Speaker 1: you're in Virginia, maybe you're gonna wake up tomorrow, and
Speaker 1: maybe a guy who fantasizes about murdering kids is the
Speaker 1: next attorney general. Not ideal, I know, but it does matter.
Speaker 1: It matters a lot. Don't ever let some doomer on
Speaker 1: the internet tell you that elections don't matter, they're all stolen,
Speaker 1: or vote our way out of this what a bunch
Speaker 1: of crap. Get up, get involved, and go vote. And
Speaker 1: that way of thinking that leads me into what's probably
Speaker 1: going to be a very long conversation. And I feel
Speaker 1: like It's an important conversation we need to have about
Speaker 1: propaganda operations, political things, things you've seen and we'll see again.
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Tuesday.
Speaker 1: And remember I am going to get to your emails
Speaker 1: later on the show. I want to have a fairly
Speaker 1: long talk with you first, but I will get to
Speaker 1: those and you can email the show Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. We're also going to get to Democrats
Speaker 1: buying votes at least some tiny bit of COVID accountability,
Speaker 1: and so much more coming up. But I got an
Speaker 1: email from a moron and I wanted I wanted to
Speaker 1: address it because this is something that I am going
Speaker 1: to do with the deal with and you are going
Speaker 1: to deal with in your life, in your political life.
Speaker 1: And we can't walk away from politics. It's too important.
Speaker 1: But we have to understand what we encounter, especially what
Speaker 1: we encounter on the internet. Okay, so I want to
Speaker 1: read the email from this idiot and then we will
Speaker 1: have a discussion. And look, I'm not Chris, I'm not
Speaker 1: being mean. Some people are morons that you can't help
Speaker 1: your IQ. Some people are just dumb, and that's look,
Speaker 1: we have to help dumb people too. Right, if you
Speaker 1: see a dog limping along, you want to fix this
Speaker 1: little paw. Stupid people are limping through life and you
Speaker 1: have to help them. So I got this email, Bro,
Speaker 1: you don't seem like the same Jesse from a year ago.
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk assassination, the FBI and Dan Bongino sucks.
Speaker 1: I used to listen to Dan, but I know when
Speaker 1: we've been sold out, and I'm not afraid to call
Speaker 1: it out. You seem very silent on this. What say
Speaker 1: you got? So this is in reference to some online
Speaker 1: rumor thing that Charlie Kirk's assassination was a I don't know,
Speaker 1: a federal government operation, or he was murdered by Israel,
Speaker 1: or I actually saw someone say he was murdered by
Speaker 1: Donald Trump or the Okay, so let's pause for a moment.
Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about this specifically because it's
Speaker 1: so stupid. That's not the point. The point is, how
Speaker 1: does anybody, how does anybody get that thumb to send
Speaker 1: me this email? Well, there's actually a lot to it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to it, and we have to have
Speaker 1: this discussion because your susceptible to it and so am
Speaker 1: I everybody is susceptible to it. So let me explain
Speaker 1: how things work. It's going to be a very long
Speaker 1: drawn out analogy. So let me explain how things work.
Speaker 1: And this is a cautionary tale for me and for
Speaker 1: you about the rabbit holes you can find yourself in,
Speaker 1: who creates them and why they create them. And in
Speaker 1: large part, I'm not having this talk with you about
Speaker 1: this specific email. It's about the people who say voting
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And there is so much to this, so
Speaker 1: stay with me. Stay with me. Now, let's set this
Speaker 1: up in a completely non political way. Let's say I
Speaker 1: I don't like bagels. I actually love bagels, but for
Speaker 1: the point of our argument here, I am anti bagel.
Speaker 1: I not only don't want to eat bagels, I don't
Speaker 1: want you to eat bagels. In fact, I don't want
Speaker 1: bagels to exist anymore. Jewish producer Chris unsurprisingly loves bagels.
Speaker 1: And actually, not only does he love bagels, he makes
Speaker 1: his own homemade bagels, which are outstanding. I'm embarrassed to say,
Speaker 1: but they actually are really good. He brings him in sometimes,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Jewish producer Chris loves bagels. Surprise, surprise, he
Speaker 1: makes him himself. I hate bagels, all right. So those
Speaker 1: are the two factions. You have pro bagel Chris, you
Speaker 1: have anti bagel me. But Chris wants bagel love to
Speaker 1: spread far and wide. I want bagel love to stop.
Speaker 1: What we're both after, though, is you both of us,
Speaker 1: both of us. We are out to recruit you. We
Speaker 1: want to grab you and bring you in to our
Speaker 1: bagel or anti bagel camp. Chris wants you on his team.
Speaker 1: He wants you eating bagels. He wants you buy in bagels.
Speaker 1: He wants you to tell family and friends that bagels
Speaker 1: are good, and bagel this and bagel that. Me, I
Speaker 1: want you on my side. You never touch a bagel.
Speaker 1: If you see someone eating while you slap it out
Speaker 1: of their hands. He tell friends and family how bad
Speaker 1: bagels are. So how do we go about this? What
Speaker 1: do we do? We're going to talk about this and
Speaker 1: it may be pretty revealing for things you see, especially online.
Speaker 1: It's the online world that's going to suck you into
Speaker 1: this rabbit hole. So we'll go over that in a moment.
Speaker 1: Before we go over that, I think I think you
Speaker 1: understand as well as I do that crime is so
Speaker 1: so bad right now, one of the constitutional amendments we
Speaker 1: voted on today in Texas was essentially a bail form
Speaker 1: amendment that would stop these judges in our urban areas
Speaker 1: from letting the animals out of jail. That's how bad
Speaker 1: crime is. We now have to have constitutional amendments because
Speaker 1: judges won't stop letting animals out on the streets. It
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a Magnificent Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: we are discussing infacted. Don't worry if you're just now
Speaker 1: joining us, you I've missed it. We are about to
Speaker 1: discuss the various rabbit holes and conspiracy theories people can
Speaker 1: get sucked into. You can and I can, but we're
Speaker 1: all susceptible to it. How these operations, how and why
Speaker 1: these operations work. Okay, So, in order to set this up,
Speaker 1: the analogy is I'm anti Bagel, which I'm not, but
Speaker 1: I'm anti Bagel. I hate them. I don't want to
Speaker 1: eat them. I don't want you to eat them. I
Speaker 1: want Bagel's band. Chris, Jewish producer Chris is mister pro
Speaker 1: Bagel loves them. Once the Bagel loves spread around. Okay,
Speaker 1: anti Bagel, me pro Bagel Chris. Now what we're after,
Speaker 1: of course, is you. We want you in our camp,
Speaker 1: and you know where you are. We know it, Chris
Speaker 1: knows it, and I know it. You're online. I'll make
Speaker 1: this about you.
Speaker 2: Know what.
Speaker 1: I'll make it about Facebook, but it would apply to
Speaker 1: anywhere on social media. You are online. So what do
Speaker 1: I need? I want you to stop eating these friggin' bagels? Well,
Speaker 1: I need I need the word to spread. So here's
Speaker 1: something I will do. I have money, I'll start spreading
Speaker 1: it around. How does this work? Well, I go find
Speaker 1: people who have large followings on Facebook. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: make it about Facebook, member it applies to everything I have.
Speaker 1: Go find people who have large followings on Facebook, and
Speaker 1: depending on the size of the following, I will pay
Speaker 1: them for a social media post that trashes bagels. So
Speaker 1: if you have ten thousand friends on Facebook, I'll give
Speaker 1: you one thousand dollars. If you have fifty thousand friends,
Speaker 1: I'll give you five thousand dollars. Now what do I
Speaker 1: want for this? All I want I'm paying you for
Speaker 1: one post. All I want is you to go on
Speaker 1: Facebook and say, man, bagels are trash and the people
Speaker 1: who eat bagels or trash. Okay, well what happens from there? Well,
Speaker 1: what happens from there is I pay you, you take
Speaker 1: the money, you put up the Facebook post. But then
Speaker 1: people start talking about it, because it's not just me
Speaker 1: talking about it now, it's somebody with a large following
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Now people are commenting on there. It's what
Speaker 1: do you mean? I'm not trash? I love bagels. I'm
Speaker 1: four bagels. What's in the conversation? What is in the
Speaker 1: conversation now? No one was talking about being anti bagel yesterday,
Speaker 1: absolutely nobody at all. Now, with a little bit of
Speaker 1: cheddar spread around, I've got all kinds of people talking
Speaker 1: about it. Maybe you are even PARTI disipating in the
Speaker 1: conversation without any knowledge whatsoever that you are part of
Speaker 1: a propaganda campaign against bagels. And by the way, Chris
Speaker 1: is doing the same thing. He's spending money. Hey, I
Speaker 1: needed to be pro bagel, did Hey do you know
Speaker 1: what I think? Why don't you write an article about
Speaker 1: how great bagels are, about how healthy they are? Oh
Speaker 1: link to the article. Chris is spending money. I'm spreading money.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Kamala Harris campaign? Pause for a moment,
Speaker 1: do you remember the stories that started coming out. We
Speaker 1: had people with large social media followings during Kamala Harris's
Speaker 1: presidential run, people who ended up spilling the beans, and
Speaker 1: they said that Kamala Harris campaign wanted to pay us,
Speaker 1: offered to pay me to say something that seemed totally
Speaker 1: organic on Facebook or Instagram. Hey love Kamala Harris, can't
Speaker 1: wait to vote for her. She's smart. So now that's
Speaker 1: the paid portion of it. But it actually gets worse
Speaker 1: from here. I just paid for it. Chris paid for it.
Speaker 1: We got this propaganda war going on. He's paying and
Speaker 1: I'm paying. Now maybe you, maybe me, we start getting
Speaker 1: in on the campaign. So after all, some famous people
Speaker 1: are talking about bagels, anti bagel, pro bagel. I want
Speaker 1: I want to have an opinion. These these pro bagel
Speaker 1: people are scum. How could you be anti BAGEO You're trash.
Speaker 1: But you know who else is about to get involved?
Speaker 1: Well pause on this for a moment. Do you understand
Speaker 1: one of the main ways intelligence agencies have worked for
Speaker 1: all of mankind? We do this. Every major intelligence agency
Speaker 1: today takes part in this. We do things like this.
Speaker 1: We do it. Russia does it, China does it, Britain
Speaker 1: does it, France does it, Israel does it, Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: does it, Iran does it? Katara that they all do this,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the main things they do and
Speaker 1: have always done. It's not all James Bond with his
Speaker 1: exploding pen and his sweet car that shoots missiles out
Speaker 1: the headlights. One of the main things intelligence agencies do
Speaker 1: is they try to pit people in a society against
Speaker 1: each other, and they seek out opportunities to get people
Speaker 1: tearing each other apart in a society. So let's say,
Speaker 1: who's an enemy of America. China is a great example. Well,
Speaker 1: why does China care about bagels? They don't care about begels.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they have bagels in China.
Speaker 1: But you know what China does care about getting American
Speaker 1: citizens at each other's throats. China pays attention. They're on Facebook,
Speaker 1: they see this Bagel versus Anti Bagel campaign, and you
Speaker 1: know what, they find, We have an opportunity here. So
Speaker 1: what do they do from here? Well, it's quite simple really.
Speaker 1: China creates fifty thousand new Facebook accounts, twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: of them. These are all run by computers. By the way,
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand accounts. They're going to join Chris's team.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be pro Bagel. Twenty five thousand accounts are
Speaker 1: going to join my team. They're going to be anti Bagel.
Speaker 1: Maybe I know about these accounts, Maybe I don't. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm involved in China, maybe I'm not. But the point
Speaker 1: is now that conversation gets ramped up even more and
Speaker 1: more and more, and now it seems like everybody's involved.
Speaker 1: Maybe I would even say something to you if you
Speaker 1: brought up bagel stuff to me in conversation. Hey, Jesse,
Speaker 1: everyone's mad about the bagels. We're so divided, and I
Speaker 1: would say, how do you know that? Haven't you seen
Speaker 1: all the comments online? Everyone's discussing it. It's Bagel with probi,
Speaker 1: it's anti Bagel. Now we not only have paid propaganda,
Speaker 1: now we have foreign countries uniquely invested in America dividing
Speaker 1: itself against itself. They're involved as well, because that's how
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies have always and will always work. The idea
Speaker 1: is always to weaken the country from within. Maybe you'll
Speaker 1: attack one day, maybe you won't attack one day, But
Speaker 1: no matter what, you are better off if your enemy
Speaker 1: country is divided extremely divided. Now, that was just a
Speaker 1: brief analogy and a brief example. But I want you
Speaker 1: to know that this can happen to you, and probably
Speaker 1: already has, and it can happen me, and probably already has.
Speaker 1: This stupid question, was your silence about Charlie Kirk he
Speaker 1: fb I murdered him, Buddy, I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: the case right now, and neither do you, you utter, moron,
Speaker 1: The trial hasn't happened. We have certain facts, the things
Speaker 1: we know, things we've seen on video. But you grab
Speaker 1: these video bits or bits of information from this influencer
Speaker 1: or this bot online and you find ten thousand other
Speaker 1: people talking about it, and all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: you feel like you're educated, You feel like you know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And of course, anybody who's not
Speaker 1: saying the same things you are, clearly they've sold out.
Speaker 1: Clearly they're traders. Clearly, this is what we are all,
Speaker 1: you and me, all of us, every person, the smart,
Speaker 1: the domb, the tall, the short. Certainly the Italians were
Speaker 1: all susceptible to this. And this is about so much
Speaker 1: more than bagels. I'll finish this up in a moment. Hey,
Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Remember you can email us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1: So to wrap this up, and we've had a similar
Speaker 1: conversation before, but I wanted to have it again, and
Speaker 1: we're going to have it again one day, and again
Speaker 1: another day and again another day, because it's so important
Speaker 1: to understand how propaganda works, or if you don't like
Speaker 1: that word, because I guess we all engage in it
Speaker 1: on some level, right, how an influence operation works. There
Speaker 1: is so much bad information out there, so much insanity
Speaker 1: out there. That doesn't mean you stop you stop consuming
Speaker 1: the news. What it means is we have to be
Speaker 1: people of discernment. We have to sift through the noise
Speaker 1: and maybe, just maybe there are issues that come up
Speaker 1: and maybe you don't know who to believe or what
Speaker 1: to believe. What's a good Russia Ukraine? This is actually
Speaker 1: a great example because the propaganda was overwhelming when that
Speaker 1: first kicked off. It's died down big time right now,
Speaker 1: but overwhelming amounts of propaganda. And you add Russia invade Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and if you spent any time online on social media,
Speaker 1: you saw endless quantities of things that weren't real half true.
Speaker 1: It was all over the news, the regular television news too,
Speaker 1: It was in the newspapers. It was endless. I remember
Speaker 1: I remember a story right after that thing kicked off
Speaker 1: about the quote ghost of Kiev. Who was the ghost
Speaker 1: of Kiev. He was a Ukrainian fighter pilot who was
Speaker 1: up in the skies taking out every Russian jet that
Speaker 1: came across his way, a supremely skilled fighter commander. And
Speaker 1: this thing spread so far and wide we had sitting
Speaker 1: members of Congress. I stand with the Ghost of Kiev.
Speaker 1: It's completely made up. None of it was real. No,
Speaker 1: this can get virtually impossible for anybody, for me, for you,
Speaker 1: It could get virtually impossible to figure out what is
Speaker 1: real when you are in the middle of a propaganda campaign,
Speaker 1: with all sides trying for your eyes and ears in
Speaker 1: your mind. They want you in your camp, some paid,
Speaker 1: some foreign, some the faarius some What do you do?
Speaker 1: You know that it's okay to just sit back and
Speaker 1: say nothing. Sometimes it's okay to admit that you're not
Speaker 1: sure what is real and what is not. In fact, specifically,
Speaker 1: now that we're talking about that, I brought it up
Speaker 1: about Russia, Ukraine, not long after it started, and I've
Speaker 1: let outset it. I said it publicly. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: I said it on this show. I said, I am
Speaker 1: so tired already of the endless propaganda from both sides
Speaker 1: that I'm washing my ends of the whole thing. I
Speaker 1: can't tell what's real. I can't tell what's not. There's
Speaker 1: so much bad information out there that I'm not going
Speaker 1: to sit here and scream in the microphone about Russia
Speaker 1: Ukraine this and Russia Ukraine that is. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's real and what's accurate. And you know what's wrong
Speaker 1: with sitting these things out nothing, sit back in w
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get emails from people you've changed. Why can't
Speaker 1: you admit that Donald Trump assassinated Charlie Kirk? Buddy, you
Speaker 1: need to put your phone down. It's time to take
Speaker 1: the phone. Go find a drawer in your house, turn
Speaker 1: the phone off, put it in the drawer. You go
Speaker 1: for a walk, Go for a walk. Find was this guy? Girl?
Speaker 1: This is a girl? Is the dude? Go talk to
Speaker 1: a woman, Go out and get a pizza, go to church,
Speaker 1: go to the gun range. To even send me an
Speaker 1: email like this, You know that you know that you're
Speaker 1: the mark, right, You're the mark. There was a propaganda
Speaker 1: campaign waged and you fell victim to it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know the details of what did
Speaker 1: didn't happen to Charlie Kirk. I'm not involved in the investigation.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the DNA, the evidence that all the videotapes.
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that I know each and everything
Speaker 1: that happened. I don't, and you know what, neither do you.
Speaker 1: Nobody does. We don't. But people can go down these
Speaker 1: disastrous rabbit holes on every single subject, every single thing
Speaker 1: that's out there, and you can turn out the dumbest
Speaker 1: human being on the planet. If you are not careful,
Speaker 1: you will go down so many rabbit holes. You will
Speaker 1: succumb to so many influence operations that you will say
Speaker 1: things like this email he typed out to me here
Speaker 1: that lead everybody who talks to you to believe that
Speaker 1: you have the IQ of a rat. That is a
Speaker 1: bad place to be. Put your phone down and walk away,
Speaker 1: all right. This is this is just a heads up
Speaker 1: that because social because of social media, it makes this easy.
Speaker 1: And these operations have been going on forever. Look, it
Speaker 1: used to be word of mouth, maybe a written tablet
Speaker 1: in town. And then as technology advance, remember they're always
Speaker 1: using technology, it would be it would be newsletters in newspapers,
Speaker 1: and then and then the radio and booklets and and
Speaker 1: eventually television got into it. And you think about things
Speaker 1: like like the Nazis and other others, by the way,
Speaker 1: would use movies. You would get a movie, and you
Speaker 1: would you would write it and design it in such
Speaker 1: a way to manipulate people to think and act in
Speaker 1: certain ways. This is nothing new what we're going through.
Speaker 1: But what is new is how social media makes these
Speaker 1: propaganda campaigns, these influence operations. Social media makes it so easy.
Speaker 1: If you gave me, if you gave me a million
Speaker 1: dollar budget right now, I probably wouldn't even even need
Speaker 1: that much. But with my platform, in a million dollars,
Speaker 1: I bet you I could start a legitimate anti bagel
Speaker 1: campaign in the United States of America. I'm not even kidding,
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't want money. I'm not
Speaker 1: asking for that, but I could. How stupid and ridiculous
Speaker 1: is that. I bet you within a week or two
Speaker 1: you would see chatter all over social media with people
Speaker 1: trashing bagels or being pro bagels. I made it up
Speaker 1: as a stupid analogy. I could make it happen. I could.
Speaker 1: I could invent it out of thin air because of
Speaker 1: money in social media. Be aware. This was a long
Speaker 1: lecture about being aware. All right, all right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about Democrats buying votes. That's good. It's good that we
Speaker 1: can talk about these things, and now it's out in
Speaker 1: the open. Let's talk about some COVID accountability, which we're
Speaker 1: finally getting. I will get to a bunch of emails,
