Americans Not Trusting Government Economic Stats

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly
Show on a wonderful, absolutely wonderful Thursday. So let's talk
about a couple of dark things. This hour, we're going
to talk about our lack of trust in the government.
Something really good is happening. Good things are happening at
the FBI, believe it or not. We'll do more emails,

(00:22):
make fun of this CBS host all that and more
is still to come. So there's an article here out
of Newsmax that a plurality of Americans do not accept
government economic stats. Now that on its face, it doesn't
seem like a big deal, right, Okay, the government they're
going to put out some stats and most Americans are all,

(00:44):
I don't believe it. But this actually goes to a
critical a crisis that we do have in this country
that I believe can be fixed, but it's going to
take a long time and it's going to take a
lot of effort. The crisis is the American people don't

(01:05):
trust their institutions anymore, any of them. This goes way
beyond economics data because of how evil they acted during COVID.
You understand, Americans are going to ignore the CDC. The
next time we get a disease, and countries get diseases,
there's always a new virus, a new something floating around,

(01:28):
and hey that the next one might be deadly serious.
And I'm not trying to fear monger. I don't know
that we're going to get one anytime soon. But inevitably,
at some point in time, someone's going to get sick.
There's going to be something here and in that moment,
in that moment, we will need a central database, a

(01:48):
central hub of people we trust to bring us the truth.
And that has traditionally been the Center for Disease Control.
But since the Center for Disease Control got taken over
by evil communists, like every other institution, they used their
power during COVID to smash your liberty and bump up

(02:09):
pharmaceutical sales. Now when normal Americans here CDC, they sneer
and roll their eyes. And so the next director of
the CDC who comes to you and says, we have
this terrible virus. It's it's the worst thing I've ever seen.
It's a the Chris virus. You need to lock yourself
up in your home. You only drink bottled water. You

(02:30):
make sure you're taking vitamin C. Make sure. Most Americans
would be like, yeah, they're probably lying again, won't you.
I will huh. Look, well we're about to talk about
the FBI. To'd be a good thing. But about to
talk about the FBI. I've told you this before. I
will not speak to the FBI under any any circumstances. None,

(02:54):
unless my lawyer is sitting there present. I could get
home tonight and I could have an FBI agent knock
on my door and say, hey, we're on the lookout
for a drug dealer. We thought we saw him driving
through your neighborhood. What do you know, and I'll slam
the door in his face. Nope, call my lawyer. I

(03:17):
don't speak to the FBI. That's not my fault. You
want to take the federal police arm and use it,
aim it at Republicans, use it to protect Democrats the
way you did Hunter Biden, the way you did Joe Biden,
the way you did Hillary Clinton, and then unleash it
like a military force against your political opponents. You don't

(03:39):
ever get my supporter help again at all, under any circumstances. Nope,
call my lawyer. Well, we're just looking for a drug dealer.
Call my lawyer, but what's your name? Call my lawyer.
That's my answer. Call my lawyer period. But that's bad,
isn't it? Because I don't feel the same way about
my local police. For us, who I know very well.

(04:01):
They have to come patrol by my house whenever one
of these communists is threatening to kill me. So I've
gotten to know them quite well. They're wonderful, They've earned
my trust over and over again. They come knocking on
my door tonight, I'll bend over backwards. I'll get in
my truck myself. Let's go looking for them. FBI Badge, Nope, sorry,
I consider you to be the enemy. I have to
assume you are my enemy, here to destroy my life,

(04:25):
and I'll never talk to you again. But that's not bad,
and that's not good. That's terrible. I would like to
live in a country where our institutions can be trusted,
but they simply cannot be here. They can't be They
can earn it back, though. This is I'm gonna come

(04:46):
back to this again and again and again and again,
and you're gonna hear me harp on this until we
get a result. This Russia hoax stuff with the evidence
that's being laid out there, not just you and me
talking hard evidence. We have documentation, we have names, we
have emails, we have things like that. If government people

(05:07):
aren't prosecuted and convicted and sent to prison for what
they did, I do not believe we can save the country.
I believe it will accelerate America's end to warp speed,
because it will finally convince the American people once and
for all that government people can never go to prison.
They're always above it all. They're they're not They're not

(05:30):
held to the same standards you and I are. And
if that's the kind of country we have now, then
it should end. I want to be crystal clear on that.
If we live in a country where government people are
immune from prosecution for their crimes, but you can get
sent to prison for your crimes, then we shouldn't exist anymore.
These coming indictments, the trials Lord Willing that are coming

(05:52):
are everything. And because of what we just talked about too,
the institutional trust, the American people have to see government
people burn for the crimes they've committed. And if you
can't go to prison for sending the Central Intelligence Agency
against your Republican opponents. If that's not enough to send

(06:14):
you to prison, then government people can't go to prison.
Just give them all immunity the second you walk into
the FBI, CIARS Congress, I don't care where it is NSA,
just go ahead and hand them all a universal get
out of jail free card. Because if you can't go
to prison for using the Central Intelligence Agency against your

(06:36):
political opponents, then government people can't go to prison. Period.
And I hope I'm going to keep beating this drum
because I hope the Trump administration and more importantly Pambondi
understands those are the stakes of this case. That is
what is at stake. This is not yet another case

(06:56):
of government corruption. It's not just well we have another one. No, no, no, no,
This is the final one. This is the super Bowl.
People have to burn for what they did because the
American people, it's not that they're separating, have separated from
their government, from their institutions. Not just government institutions, I

(07:16):
should note, the American people have separated from their institutions.
They believe their institutions are hostile to them, work against them.
They believe their institutions lie to them without end. And
you can't continue as a country without that trust connection

(07:38):
with the people in their institutions. I have used the
example before of a small village of one hundred people,
and you know they would have institutions too. Let's say
there is a hut there that the hutch job is
to tell everybody the weather. The people who work in
that institution, they tell you the weather, what it's gonna be,
what's common, all those other things. Let's say that hut

(08:01):
gets taken over a bunch of by a bunch of evil,
selfish dirt balls, and they start lying, openly, lying about
the weather. Well, if I can't go to that institution
and trust what they say, you might as well get
rid of the institution entirely, and credit to cash Betel
and Dan Bongino, credit where it's due. They're dumping people.

(08:26):
Steve Jensen, Brian Driskell, you don't know these names. These
are evil communists who have been working inside of the
FBI against the American people. It was announced today they're fired.
That's good, it's a good start. It's not enough. It's
a great start. I'm glad they did it. It's not enough.
The people inside of our institutions have turned hostile toward us,

(08:48):
and now the hostility goes both ways. Didn't start with you,
didn't start with me. I grew up one to be
in the FBI. They I remember. I remember the packet
they sent me a bet you money. My mom still
has it somewhere. As a little kid, six seven years old,
as a little kid, I sent him a letter saying

(09:08):
I want to be in the FBI. How do I
join the FBI? And they sent me this big fat
packet about you know there's great law enforcement agency. Now
I sneer, I rolled my eyes. I didn't do that.
They did that. We have to get that trust back,
and people have to be held accountable for that trust

(09:32):
to be back. You can't just tell people to move on.
You can't say ignore it. You can't say that was
in the past. That doesn't work anymore. We've been lied
to by too many of our institutions, institutions we should
be able to trust. No more moving on. I, however,
am going to move on from this, and I'm want

(09:52):
to do a bunch of more emails. Like I said,
I'm behind. Don't worry, we'll get We'll get to making
fun of the WNBA and other things. Is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday. Remember you can email
the show. You're asked doctor Jesse questions for tomorrow and
you need to get them emailed in now to Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Also me and the Fellas.

(10:18):
We're working on something big, not promising. We're gonna roll
it out next week, but it's coming soon. I wouldn't
be missing any shows next week. I put it that way.
Get your ask Doctor Jesse questions into Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com. Let's do some emails. Hey, Jesse, I
love your advice on interviews. I did a long rant

(10:41):
last night on job interviews. It's tired of watching people
screw these things up. Dress for success is so important
to get a job. Many times I would get an
offer on my first interview says he's had about fifty jobs,
so on and so forth. I had to interview for
a food and beverage director. The owner himself interviewed me.

(11:03):
We hit it off and traded stories for four hours.
I have found that if it feels it's going well,
I try to get them talking about themselves. People love
to talk about themselves. That's why I wanted to read this.
It's not just for job interviews. This is for people
who struggle in social situations. And those are not just

(11:26):
kids today. Why that's the phones. I mean, yeah, that
may be part of it, of course, but there are
adults who suffer from this too. People don't know how
to have a conversation. Let me tell you something. My
buddy does that I not only love, I have adopted
in my home with his kids. We were riding, we

(11:48):
were cruising me. It was me and my buddy and
his kids. We were all our kids were in the
car and I'm driving, and I asked one of them,
how's football going? He's in football practice football season, you know,
it's two times getting read for football season. And I said,
how's football season going? And he gave the standard response
that a kid would normally give, good, it's going good.

(12:10):
Buddy steps in immediately stop. What kind of an answer
is that? That's a one word answer that didn't tell
him anything. Expand multiple sentences. Talk. This is an opportunity
to talk, explain something. So that's one thing. The second thing,
if you are somebody who struggles talking to people at all,

(12:33):
get them talking about themselves, ask them questions about themselves.
You have a conversation by asking people questions. And I'm
not saying you have to care. Okay, I'm not saying
you have to care. I have faked it in eight
million conversations in my forty four years on this planet,

(12:57):
talking to the most mind numbingly boring people you've ever
talked to in your life. It's not important that you care.
It's important that you pretend. And it's important that what Chris,
this is good advice? What are you talking about? It's
important that you pretend if you don't care. And so
if I'm talking to Chris, which I would never do.

(13:17):
If I'm talking to Chris, Hey, where are you from? Oh?
I'm from Uh, I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas? What do
I do from there? What do I do from there?
Do I stop? Do I just let it go? He
just told me where he's from. He answered the question.
Ask more questions on that. Oh, really, originally you were

(13:38):
born there? How lord you lived there? Did you go
to school up there? Oh? But what did you do?
Every answer is an opportunity to ask them more questions.
And human beings almost universally love to talk about themselves.
You don't have to be mister or missus personality. Maybe

(13:59):
you feel stupid, maybe you don't like your maybe you
don't like your whatever, your your face, your personality, or whatever. Fine,
ask people questions. You can have a conversation with somebody,
and if you have constantly thrown the ball in their
court to talk about themselves, and you've been smart enough
to pretend to be interested the entire time, they will

(14:22):
walk away from that conversation and they will think to themselves, Wow,
he was great to talk to. She was great to
talk to. I can't wait to hang out with her again.
Ask people questions. You don't have to talk all the time.
It's better if you don't shut up and listen. Ask
people questions. All right, Jesse, Okinawa is a wild place.

(14:47):
Do you think it? Do you think it's haunted? Too? Much?
Bad stuff happens on such a small island Okinawa. I mean,
we talked about the Battle of Okinawa a lot during
the Kamikazi episode, and so you're well aware of all
the death that took place then. But it's a place

(15:09):
the Japanese really conquered. Okinawans are not Japanese. They certainly
don't consider themselves to be Japanese. They consider themselves to
be Okinawans, and the Okinawans have a not the best
view of the Japanese because of the Japanese brutal occupation.
They were conscripting teenage girls by that point in time,

(15:33):
by the time we got there, so it was really
really bad. Is it haunted?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
I could see it. So much sadness and so much
death has been there. I don't know that I fully
I don't know that I fully believe in the concept
of things being haunted either, though I do believe in
the concept of lands being curb I've told you before.
I believe that Haiti is a cursed land. I think

(16:05):
the devil lives there. Its entire history is horrible. It's
horrible now, it was always horrible, just a horrible place.
So I believe in the idea of curse lands, maybe
not haunted lands. All right, let's make fun of the
WNBA and we'll get back to some more questions. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Thursday. Remember,

(16:27):
if you miss any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So I'm
going to use the WNBA, believe it or not. To
piggyback on the conversation we just had about having a
conversation with people, how to have a conversation people asking
question things like that, And I want to explain by

(16:48):
that is important. It's important that people like you. And
I'm not saying you have to become some people pleaser
who goes whichever way the wind blows. You know, that's
not what I do. Believe in that at all. But
you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
Is more than just a saying. And especially especially if

(17:12):
maybe you're lacking in certain areas, lacking talent in certain areas,
which we all do. Look at Chris, we all lack
talent at certain things. Maybe you're in a job and maybe,
if you're being honest with yourself, you're not the best
at it. Well, guess what, it's not the end of
the world. Not everyone's the best at everything. Otherwise that

(17:33):
wouldn't make any sense, would it. But you need to
be nice, you need to be well thought of around
the office because you're not the best at it. The
WNBA nobody cares about it, nobody watches it. The league
loses forty million dollars a year. Nobody cares about it

(17:55):
at all. But there's an opportunity there for them. What
is that opportunity. It's a bunch of young women. They
could be bright and sunny and happy and appealing. I mean,
how many times have we watched a women's sports team.

(18:17):
We've watched America fall in love with a women's sports team.
Women's gymnastics happens all the time. I love them, It's
so cute. The national women's soccer team before that, angry
lesbian Megan Rappino took it over and poisoned the entire
thing right before she got there. America loved them. They
were America's sweethearts because they were happy, and they were pretty,

(18:39):
and they were wonderful, and so people liked it. They
enjoyed it. The second Megan Rappino brought her communist poison
in there, everyone hates them. Now, everyone mocks them. Now
you're the WNBA. It's not an impressive product because basketball
is so physical, involving running and jumping in things that

(19:03):
women are terrible at. Therefore, basketball is not an impressive
thing When women play it, women are more graceful. Gymnastics
is where women thrive. Things like that thrive. Basketball not
your sport, okay, but you want to play professional basketball, okay.

(19:27):
This is Diana Tarassi. Apparently the WNBA is in a
big contract negotiation right now. Ladies, this is special for you,
especially young ladies. This is not what you want to
be in the corporate prom I'm the.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Best player in the world and I have to go
to a communist country to get paid like a capitalist.
We weren't making that much money, so generational wealth was
coming from going to Russia every year. Now we have
to come back home and get paid nothing to play
in a harder league, in worse conditions against the best
competition in the world.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Janitor at arena made more than a movie. You need
to be a lot more appealing than that, the beeping janitor.
You even managed to talk down to a blue collar
guy who cleans the toilets in the arena. You even
managed to insult the custodian and the building where nobody

(20:22):
shows up to watch you play. This is just a
word of advice, not for the WNBA. I can't wait
till that just goes away completely. This is a word
of advice to everybody. Being nice, being well thought of.
It'll get you really far, a lot further than constantly
nagging and complaining and whining about every freaking thing under

(20:46):
the sun. I mean, look, you don't want to be
a Democrat, right, Oh, speaking of Democrats, Listen to this
anchor on CNN. This actually angers me, not because of
what the anchor said, but because of how immigration has
now has been thought of in this country. Listen listen
to how horrified he is at the thought of enforcing

(21:06):
the law.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
In some states like Massachusetts, seventy eight percent of those
arrested in community raids had no criminal record, So I
wonder how sweeping up these non criminals makes communities safer.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Well, look, I think the Trump administration has been very
clear from the start, which is they're going to continue
to prioritize, but they're not going to exempt anyone else
from immigration law.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Right.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
We saw that during four years of the Biden administration,
where they said we're not going to deport, We're not
going to arrest and therefore deport certain classes of illegal
aliens here in the United States. And unfortunately, what that
does is it just encourages more and more of those
types of individuals to come to the country knowing that
they'll never be deported. So the Trump administration says, look,

(21:55):
everyone's on the table, but we're going to continue to
prioritize certain or criminal illegal aliens. And of course certain
communities have more of that than others. So it's hard
to compare and contrast certain states to other states, or
certain cities to other cities.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Understood, if this is about deterrence, as you alluded to,
and you're detaining students and folks that don't have priors,
that are here in the United States just living the
American dream and working and may have overstayed a visa,
which is a civil offense, not a criminal one, then
what exactly are you deterring because those folks aren't a

(22:34):
public safety threat.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Right, I'm gonna stop it. There it goes on for
another minute. He's just so mortified that somebody would be
deported for overstaying a visa. You're not allowed to come
here with a what is essentially a temporary guest pass
and then just stay after the pass has expired. But

(22:57):
the minds of so many Americans, certainly America and leftists
have been so twisted over the years that you think
in illegal shouldn't be deported unless he's an axe murderer.
Every single person illegally in this country, men, women and
children should be apprehended and deported back home. And everybody

(23:18):
here who came legally and then over state of visa,
they should be rounded up to as fast as humanly possible.
And that that is thought of as some sort of
a right wing policy blows me away. That's immigration policy.
That's how countries handle immigration. No, you're not allowed to

(23:38):
come here illegally. If I find you here illegally, I
will arrest you, possibly imprison you for a time, and
then send you back to the country you came from.
That's not right wing, or at least it didn't used
to be. That's immigration policy. But the American communists have

(23:59):
so watered down and twisted the minds of so many
people in this country that now it's thought of as
some sort of an outrage when an illegal gets arrested
at home depot. I don't understand he wasn't actually stabbing
anyone at the time, but it does show you it
all comes down to this. I said it many times before.

(24:20):
There are many issues that matter, but there is no
better litmus test for how much you love your country
than how strict you want to be on immigration, because
you every single person you believe in restricting access to
things you truly love. Everybody does you restrict access to

(24:43):
who can come in your home, to who can hang
around your children? Why? Because you love those things. Therefore
you don't want everyone to have access to them, right,
But you want everyone to have access to your country
because you don't give a cra about it. I'm not
talking to you specifically, I'm talking about the communists. That

(25:04):
really comes down to that love of country just simply
never enters their mind. Most of those animals hate the place.
So that's why we get what we get. Want do
some more emails. Let's do some more emails. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Thursday. Member tomorrow
is ask Doctor Jesse Friday, and you need to get

(25:24):
your questions emailed in now to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. Let's do a bunch of emails. Jesse, I'm
thoroughly enjoying your comic Costreet Kama Cause History Show. If
you get a chance, I'd love to hear your take
on the Battle of Wake Island When I was in
the Navy. My squadron made refueling stops there on the
way to detachments in Japan. It was an amazing experience

(25:48):
to walk on the beach and see some of the
gun emplacements and bunkers that so many of our guys
fought from or died in. There were even some corrodied
engines from crashed Japanese and US aircraft. Gosh, that's sweet.
I looked out from the beach and try to imagine
what it must have been like to see the Imperial
Japanese Navy steaming in while knowing there was no help coming. Well,

(26:12):
I don't know that I've ever done a long history
on Wake Island, so i'd look, we could do a
little mini version here, a very very mini version Wake Island.
For those not familiar. It was a little outpost, a
little Navy marine outpost. You can go look it up.
Where it is. It's in I mean, it's in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean. It's in the freaking middle

(26:35):
of nowhere. That's where Wake Island is. But because of
its location out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,
it's obviously extremely valuable for as he said, a navy
to claim that ground. You know, you claim ground there,
You pile up logistics there. It gives you a place

(26:55):
to refuel, to get food, to get things like that.
And remember to understand the Japanese plan in World War two.
You just have to look at Japan and draw a
huge circle around Japan. The idea they had was go

(27:18):
conquer not just a bunch of China, but a bunch
of islands. Make it widen our circle, widen our area
of control. And part of that meant taking places like Guam,
like Wake Island. The battle for Wake Island was so
awesome but also sad because nobody on that island had

(27:41):
any idea war was coming. You're out there, and this
is before jet engines and things like that. Remember so
even getting to you is not a fast, easy process.
You were out there in the middle of nowhere, You
were surrounded by ocean. The Japanese declear war and they
come for you. There's no help coming. We we Americans today,

(28:07):
we are blessed with a navy. As much as it
pains me to say it a navy, we are blessed
with the navy. That is I was gonna say all powerful,
but on the ocean. They pretty much are. We can
be anywhere. We can go anywhere. We have so many

(28:27):
ships and subs and aircraft carriers and things like that.
The very idea that there would be a place our
navy couldn't go is crazy to us. But back then,
at the beginning of World War Two, we just didn't
have enough. We weren't good enough. We didn't have enough ships.

(28:48):
That's why we couldn't go bail MacArthur out of the
Philippines when the Japs attacked there. The Navy couldn't get through.
You could want to go help all you want, we
didn't have the ships. We didn't we didn't have what
we needed to go get him out, to go help.
You can't do anything. Think about this. We can't even
relate to this. They're under attack, American troops under attack

(29:09):
and afar off land, and you can't do anything to
help them. Nothing. We can't even relate to that. There's
nowhere where we can't be now, Well, that was Wake
Island went through the exact same thing. The Japanese wanted
it strategically, it made all the sense in the world
for them to take it, and we had a bunch

(29:29):
of marines and sailors. I have to give them all
the credit in the world. Those sailors were grabbing weapons
just like the Marines were surrounded getting strayed to. I
mean we're talking air power, navy power, and fighting with
everything they could. And it became one of those things
because they did fight valiant, valiantly, very very valiantly. It

(29:51):
became one of those things that became a rallying cry
for America. Actually, I'll compare it to the Alamo is
a matter of fact, doomed. You're not going to win,
you really can't win. But if you hold your ground,
give as best as you can get, you know, take
a bunch of them wasting that kind of John Wayne's

(30:13):
style attitude. That kind of thing inspires people. The Marines
on the island when when asking what they need and
they say, send more Japs. That's awesome, that's awesome. What
do I need? I need more people to kill? Send
them over here. And look, even if that stuff gets overblown,
and usually when it comes to war and lies and propaganda,

(30:35):
that stuff gets overblown, but that's still freaking cool. Right Anyway,
we fought, many died, the others were captured. We lost
it for some time. But that's the way it goes, Jesse.
Since you're now a world famous beaver hunter, you might
be aware of the castor sack, which is located next
to the beaver's anus. The sack produces a sweet smelling

(30:59):
substance is called castor rheum castorium. I don't know how
to say that. I went to community college. Chris. Did
you know about this the sack? You did? How would
you know about it? You're lying, Chris. Chris is telling
lies right now. Castorium which has been used in perfumes
and even has a strawberry or as a strawberry or

(31:21):
raspberry flavoring on desserts, among other things. What, Chris, it's
one of the many perfume additives. I didn't know they
