Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show on seven ten Water.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Tuesday.
And how about that. It's gonna be a fun night
on a Tuesday. Yeah, We're gonna do a big email
roundup tonight. Billionaire donors are cutting off the Democrat Party.
Pride parades continue to lack corporate funding. People are getting
(00:37):
fired at CNN. All that and so much more coming
up tonight on the World Famous Jesse Kelly's Show. I'm
gonna open up the show here in just a second
talking about how Trump, why Trump was so angry, so
angry that he dropped an F bomb today. I've never
heard an American president do that. Not saying I'm cheering
(00:57):
about it, but what in the world would make him
so angry he did that. We'll talk about all that
and so much more coming up on the World of
Famous Jesse Kelly Show. Not going to be a lot
of Israel Iran talk tonight. We're going to talk more Trump,
foreign policy, emails, other stuff, and so something funny happened
last night before the show. I think, I like, right
(01:20):
before the show, Trump announces on social media. True social
announces that a ceasefire has been agreed agreed upon between
Israel and Iran. Some people were wondering why I didn't
talk about it a lot in the first hour or
the second hour. I think maybe I mentioned it in
(01:41):
the third, but honestly, I wasn't even really going to
talk about it. Then we actually had people said against medicine,
why aren't you talking about the sase fire? Because they
kept shooting rockets at each other for hours afterwards. This
is why I tell you over and over and over again,
but aar, I need to say it again loud and
(02:02):
clear so everyone is crystal clear. I am not a
breaking news journalist. I do not work for NBC. I'm
not an anchor. I'm not a field reporter. I am
not going to report live from the latest mass shooting,
jet crash, the latest war thing. You know why, because
it's all a bunch of garbage and lies until we
(02:23):
have time to digest it. Why didn't I talk Well,
there's been a saintsfire, you should talk about it. Yeah,
And then a bunch of people died afterwards, and Donald
Trump was frustrated. Why would I talk about a tweet
when everybody lies and that brings us to the actual
point of this. I'm sure you've already heard it. Don't worry,
(02:46):
we beep it out. As always, the show will be
family friendly. Wo in the world made Donald Trump so
angry that he dropped an F bomb loudly and clearly
on camera. This is a man, keep in mind, very
much in control of what he says to a camera,
because he's been talking to cameras his entire life. He
(03:06):
gets in front of a reporter, talks about the ceasefire
that wasn't one surprise, surprise, and this is what he said.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I do they violated, but Israel violated it too. Israel
as soon as we made the.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Deal, they came out and.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
They dropped the load of bombs, the likes of which
I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,
now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
the first hour and just drop everything you have on him.
So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
the Ron either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going
out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land,
(03:46):
that we shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't Land. I'm
not happy about that. What we have, we basically have
two countries that have been fighting so long and so
hard that they don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You understand that. Wow, Donald Trump upset. Okay, we have
the report. Trump called net and Yahoo and raised his
voice loudly. That's the reporting. Okay, you know what? That
reminded me of that clip of Trump just now. Remember
(04:22):
when Trump was really really deep into the ceasefire negotiations
between Russia and Ukraine, and it seemed like we never
know for sure, but it seemed like from Afar that
they were getting really close, and then Ukraine tried to
assassinate Putin. That's how war goes. I'm not blaming anybody,
(04:42):
but they tried to assassinate Putin in the middle of
these negotiations, and then Putin turned around and starts launching
things into Ukrainian cities. Donald Trump, who was trying to
broker this piece, remember this sounded almost identical to me,
ran to the cameras and said this, I'll give you
an update.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He's killing a
lot of people, and I don't know what the hell
happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always
gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities
and killing people, and I don't like it at all.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I ever tell you about the biggest bar fight ever
got in in my life. We were in Riverside, California.
We were in the Marine Corps. Still. We had a
long weekend and we had another marine who I didn't know.
He was a friend of a friend who we met
up with at his apartment and we were going to
(05:36):
go out and just be dumb young Marines. And this
friend of a friend who I didn't know. I'm not
gonna name him, big dude, toughest nails, big mixed martial
artist guy, and a very violent person. He had already
done a tour and he was back and he was
(05:57):
really having some PTSD problems. But he just wanted to
hurt somebody. And he told us before we went out,
and he said, yeah, I'm gonna kick somebody's were end tonight.
He didn't use those exact words, but yeah, I'm going
out tonight and I'm getting in a fight. Okay, that
stuff we've done before, all right. And I remember we
go out to this country bar and we're having a
(06:18):
blast and we're running around talking to people, hitting on girls,
you know, stuff young dumb men do. Whatever. That's that's
what we do. And I remember he the guy who
wanted to get in a fight. He squares off with
another guy at the bar, and the other guy at
the bar I didn't hear what sparked it, so I
don't want to tell you I did. The other guy
(06:38):
at the bar was so obviously not interested in a fight.
I don't even I don't even want to say scared.
Maybe there was a lot of that in there, but
he was just completely confused why this guy was scaring off,
was squaring off with him, and he was doing everything
in his power to defuse the situation. Hey, man, I
(06:59):
didn't I didn't mean anything by it, dude, let's just
have a drink. Came in and I remember looking at
this and feeling so bad for that guy, because that
guy didn't realize that the person he was squaring off
with at the bar did not share his view of
how he wanted the night to go at all. That guy,
(07:23):
I wanted to have a couple of drinks, talk to
some pretty girls, see where the night goes. My buddy
wanted to hit somebody hard. They had a completely different
view of where they wanted the night to go, and
so his efforts at de escalation they failed. I'll just
put it that way. They were not successful. Ends up
of chairs being thrown. It was like something out of
(07:44):
a freaking movie. You've never seen anything like it in
your life. I feel I feel Donald Trump's frustration. I
felt it at the camera today. I felt it when
he was discussing putin Ukraine, putin Zelensky, all these things.
I feel it right now. Trump wants peace, has always
(08:06):
been that guy. Does not like war, and for a
variety of reasons, does want people dying. But he's always
thought war's stupid, it's not profitable. This costs everybody money. Russia, Ukraine,
Why are you fighting? We could be making money together.
Look at all these resources, look at all this stuff.
We could have a great deal and make money. What
(08:27):
are we doing? We can get along here Israel, Iran
for Trump wants to be a peacemaker and deserves all
the credit in the world for striving to be a peacemaker.
Why don't you we had a ceasefire. I called for
a ceasefire, and you start immediately when I called for
a ceasefire, I give you a time frame, and you
(08:48):
use that time frame to kill as many people on
the other side as possible. I don't. And you can
hear the frustration in his voice.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yea do they violated But Israel violated it too. Israel.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
As soon as we made the deal.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
They came out and they dropped the load of bomb
the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest
load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You
know when I say, okay, now you have twelve out.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
This is why I don't update you with every new tweet,
every new announcement. There's a ceasefire. The CeaseFire's off, and
missus been machip not just because I'm not a journalist,
not just because I don't do breaking news, but because
all these situations on the planet are complicated and oftentimes
(09:40):
we are dealing with things that we don't fully grasp
and understand. And this is not me, actually, this is
not me at all. Calling Donald Trump naive, but he
looks at Russians killing Ukrainians, Ukrainians killing Russians, and he
thinks the whole thing is sad and absurd and not profitable,
(10:00):
So why don't we just stop? Well, guess what Russians
love killing Ukrainians. Ukrainians they like killing Russians. Israel Iran.
I don't understand the resources and soil, and said, why
don't you guys just get a law with them. Maybe
Iran likes killing Israeli's they enjoy it. Maybe Israel after
(10:28):
so many years threats and terrorist attacks, maybe they don't
want to stop. Maybe they don't want a deal. We'll
finish up on this then I'm moving on. So I'm
done talking about this whole thing. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. Remember you can
email us, and you should Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
(10:51):
We are going to dig into a bunch of those tonight.
I applaud Donald Trump for trying to bring peace to
different parts of the world that are fighting Russia, Ukraine, Israel.
You're wrong, But remember what was it yesterday when I
said this, The Trump administration wants to be done. Show up,
(11:15):
drop the kids off at the pool, meaning drop a
couple bunker buster bombs, go home and call it a day.
I saw what Israel wants. That's not what the former
leader of Iran wants. Well, his son. There are a
lot of people who don't want peace, and for people
(11:36):
who desire peace, it's hard for them from the outside
looking in to understand why some people don't. I'll tell
you what. I had a conversation with Buck Sexton. You
obviously know Buck Sex and you know we're buddies off air,
we are buddies, and we were discussing this very thing
about Trump's frustration with all these different entities. It's not
(11:59):
just Iran and in Israel and Russia and Ukraine, and
I mean all kinds of different entities want to fight.
They want war, and Bucket Buck relayed this little story
to me that he was speaking with somebody. I think
this is Iraq if I remember right, But you know
these are Sunnis she I, different Muslim sets and all
(12:20):
all this kind of stuff. And the offer was essentially made, Hey,
why don't you guys stop killing each other. You live
in abject poverty. It's a terrible, terrible poverty. Why don't
you stop killing each other? And you can have things
like running water and paved roads and better schools, and
(12:43):
all you have to do is stop killing each other.
And the guy told him point blank right in his face.
Now I want to keep killing them these old grudges.
If you're if you're in if you're in Israel, how
long have you lived with the threat of some sort
(13:04):
of an Iranian attack. Maybe it's some guy with a
knife at a checkpoint, maybe October seventh, that's Hamas, right,
who backs Kamas. Maybe all this stuff has blastan if
you live in Israel, if you're in ISRAELI that's been
your entire existence, and here you are, in your mind,
(13:25):
you've been presented with the ultimate opportunity to take out
this regime that has attacked you your entire life. Why
would they want to stop? Now? You know why Benjamin
Nett and Yahoo launched everything he possibly could at the
last possible minute. Why they were still killing each other
when I went to bed last night, ceasfired been announced
(13:46):
like six hours earlier, they were still dropping bombs. If
you're any round, they have declared themselves, well, they see
themselves as the new leader of the Islamic world and
as the tip of the Jahades spear. And because that's
how they see themselves, and because that's how they've sold
themselves in every way they possibly can. They have tried
(14:08):
to kill as many Israelis as humanly possible for as
long as I've been alive, for as long as I've
been alive. Now we look at their situation. You've lost
all your military leadership, your economy's hurting, you now have
your nuclear facilities have been bombed. Surely you're down and out,
and surely you're done with this whole thing. Why not
(14:30):
make a deal, why not sign on the dotted line.
Maybe they want to kill more Israelis. For a peaceful person,
dealing with someone who wants to fight can be so
so confusing. It's like you're dealing with a separate species.
(14:51):
But there are places all over the planet, not just
the Middle East, all over the planet where the grudges
run so deep. I'll tell you something. There is a person,
you know. I was born. I was born in Steubenville, Ohio.
I grew up until I was ten years old in Toronto, Ohio,
(15:11):
and then at ten my parents moved us out to Montana,
and that's where I grew up from there. There is
a person. There's a man in Toronto, Ohio who did
my father wrong, terribly, terribly, wrong. Well on one of
those well known things. Did my father terribly wrong? Now,
(15:33):
this is a human being. If I ever met him,
I don't even remember it. I was so young, so
let's just call it. I've never met this human being.
I wouldn't walk across the street to give this guy
a bottle of water because in a business fashion, this
is a business thing. Business wrong. And then do in
a business fashion he had done my father wrong? Now,
(15:54):
what if he'd killed my father? How long would I
hold that grudge? What money would it take to talk
me out of despising that man? What if you'd kill
my grandfather too, my sister, there are these places around
the world that people who want peace can never fully understand.
(16:18):
And it's not because they're naive. Donald Trump is the
furthest thing in the world from naive. It's because they
are just people who want to fight, and they don't
see everything as a potential deal, a business deal. This,
don't see the world that way. And look not to
mention the domestic people we have still pushing for this about.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
A religious agenda? Why did they do what they do?
Religious fanatical beliefs, a master.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Religion for the world.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
And if you don't believe that you have missed a lot.
That's what they want and the only way they're not
going to get there for somebody to stop them. What
did Hitler want to take over the entire world?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
That's Lindsey Graham undermining Donald Trump's foreign policy on the
Senate floor. I wonder if Trump's going to rescind that endorsement.
Let's move off. Let's talk briefly about the Supreme Court.
In your pain is the Jesse Kelly Show on A
one your full Tuesday memory. If you miss any part
of the show, you can download the whole thing on iHeart,
(17:23):
Spotify iTunes. All right, So I know you're frustrated with
the courts and the judges. Let's just get you updated
in case you're unaware. Supreme Court came out and said, yeah,
you can deport illegals to countries that aren't of their
home origin. And now we had this other judge step
up and say no. His name is Brian Murphy, he's
(17:46):
out of Massachusetts. This other judge stepped up and said, well, well,
I don't care what the Supreme Court said. He used
legal technicalities that I'm not going to get into to
basically say well, no, I can still stop it, and
then the Supreme Court had to step back in. Today,
the specific story is not important. What is important is
(18:09):
to understand why we are where we are, and more importantly,
what we're looking at going forward. Now. I want to
kind of do this backwards. I'm going to go forward first,
because I asked a question of somebody who would know.
I asked him. I said, all these legal hurdles. Every
(18:30):
time Trump tries to deport somebody here, or deport this illegal,
or deport this terrorists, to deport that, there's always a
judge that steps in and stops it. I know you're frustrated.
I'm frustrated, But these legal hurdles. Are we facing four
years of this or is there going to be some
(18:51):
final Supreme Court ruling or rulings or something. Is there
going to be a final hurdle we can cross at
some point in time and we'll finally get past all
this and it's deportation time for everybody. Baby. And it
was Bill Jacobson. I was talking to you, by the way,
(19:11):
and Bill just told me, mean, not what you want
to hear, not what I wanted to hear, but he
told me the truth. He said, look, Jesse, the truth
is the Biden administration brought in as many illegals as
they could for four years. These illegals, on top of
all the other things they do that the Communists love,
(19:31):
they tend to congregate in blue areas for understandable reasons.
If you're an illegal in this country, you're going to
be much more welcomed in LA than in rural Texas,
so you're going to go to LA. So they congregate
in the blue areas, and they're counted in the census.
(19:53):
So the illegals keep Democrats in power. We don't know
how many seats in the United States House of Representatives
Democrats have that they wouldn't have if not for illegal immigration,
but we know there is a number. There's some. There
are some Democrats currently in the House that would not
be there if illegals were not counted in the census.
(20:14):
And just to explain in because you're confused by that,
they count the illegals and the census, and so Democrats
who would be redistrict out like their district would disappear,
their House district would disappear. Instead, it stays because they're
counting the illegals. It makes sense okay, anyway, so they
keep Democrats in power. And remember, I've had I've told
(20:35):
you before, I've had people who would know in California.
They've told me that they believe California might go red
if not for illegals. I don't know that I'm going
to go that far. That's not me saying it, but
I've had chart people tell me that illegals are keeping
Democrats afloat in this country. Democrats know this. They brought
(20:56):
in as many as they could for four years. But
then on top of what they've done for four years,
they kind of put a an exclamation point on what
they've done at the end, and they did a lot
of this. At the end. They started packing every single
judicial spot they possibly could at the very end to
(21:21):
ensure specifically so they could ensure the illegals they brought
into America can stay in America. The judges are there.
And remember, like we talked about so many times before,
they are communists first, not judges first, not boy scout leader,
not news anchor, not general. A communist is always a
(21:45):
communist first. It is his religion. There is nothing higher
for him. The judges the Biden administration put on the
bench believe their job is to stop any effort to
deport the foreign barbarians Democrats brought into the country on purpose.
I know that is so aggravating and sick and evil.
(22:07):
It probably has you dry heaving right now. It has
me dry heaving as well. But that's how it is.
That's how it is. So I didn't mean, Look, I'm
going to move on and talk about some emails because
I don't have good news to tell you here. What
the Supreme Court rule today was good. We are going
(22:28):
to get good rulings and we are potentially facing for
years of this because for an American communist Democrats, they
believe the presence of these illegals is their only route
to power, and they will cling to them like grim death.
And so when one of these illegals does something terrible
(22:52):
they rape and kill some American girl or something, you,
because you're a normal person, are so mortified. You would think, well,
even a Democrat is mortified by this. Surely this will
be the final straw, right, But it's never the final straw.
They never change because we're dealing with demons. We're dealing
(23:14):
with evil people who would watch a million people die
in front of them and not shed a single tear
if it meant they got to stay in power. That's
how unbelievably evil these people have become, and that's what
we're up against. That's the fight. Let's do a bunch
of these emails, shall we, Jesse. The master of regime
(23:36):
change in history has got to be Genghis Khan. He
took out all the leaders and replaced them with the
most downtrodden of the conquered population. They were loyal and
made real changes. Look, I've had some Genghis Khan emails
when we've been talking a lot about regime change, because
he is the one who I was about to say,
did it the right way? But I'm not sure. I'm
(23:59):
not quite sure that's how you should put what Genghis
Khan did. But you know, it's actually a great way
to explain it. Genghis Khan didn't share the morality of
other parts of the planet, and so very similar to
what we talked about in the opening of the show.
There were so many societies the Mongols would conquer or approach,
(24:24):
and they would very clearly non understand who and what
they were dealing with, and that lack of understanding doomed
so many of those societies. Genghis Khan didn't care about
killing people. He had no moral reservations about killing everyone.
(24:45):
It's not that he didn't have a moral reservation about
killing a person. He would just simply kill everyone, and
they believed in their society that that was good politics.
So if you approached a city and you wanted to
take city, it's a very simple equation, a very cold, clinical,
(25:06):
simple equation. For a Mongol, you will submit to the Khan.
And by the way, submitting to the cons was not
that bad. They were not this terrible draconian society to
people who were under them. Treated them pretty well actually.
But the only offer on the table was you got
two choices. You can submit to the con or everyone
will die. And the ones who defined him he killed
(25:29):
everybody and then sent word out that he had killed everybody.
He believed that gave him power the next time he
approached a city. So when it comes to regime change, yeah,
he did it successfully, But I don't. I don't think
(25:49):
we want that, or maybe you do, maybe you view
all conquest as good. There are different ways of thinking
about conquest. The conquest of a nation or a city,
there are some people, a lot of people who believe
all conquest is inherently evil. I would argue that's an
(26:10):
extreme position, but there are a lot of people who
believe that. There are a lot of people who believe
that the old might makes right philosophy, that all conquests
is good. Do you want it, you better fight for it.
You want to keep it, you better fight for it.
Too bad, so sad. In case you're wondering where I fall,
(26:31):
I think there's a lot of great area there. I
think some conquest is fine. I think some conquest is evil.
I think it's a great area anyway, or it is
The Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Tuesday. We are
(26:53):
going to do a huge batch of emails tonight. I
want to address the media again because CNN is in
the news for all the most wonderful reasons. Firings from
the Free Beacon CNN, the synthe draws near CNN's overpaid talent,
brace for deep cuts I made corporate shakeup. America is turning.
(27:19):
They're turning off the news CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS.
They pressed too hard. They actually went too far left
in America's turning off the news to the point that
people were getting fired. And I thought about that when
I heard Aaron Burnett on CNN say this.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I remember Dan at one point being in Tehran years ago,
and they're chanting death to America all around me, even
as I say, oh, I'm an American reporting for CNN,
and they were happy to speak to me. So that
those two sort of jarring realities of the chant and
yet the friendliness have existed together.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Obviously that's a ridiculous thing to say. But why is it?
Why is it Democrats in their media allies, what is
it they find so appealing about the people who hate us?
Wherever those people are found, it doesn't matter. It doesn't
have to be Iran. Whenever they find a foreign country
who hates America, that entity, whatever it is, a country,
(28:25):
a group, whatever it is, will be defended in some
way by the American media. Do you remember when the
American military I think it was Delta Forest, but it
might have been Sealed Team six. I don't remember when
we took out one of the heads of Isis. Do
you remember the headline from the Washington Post that the
(28:46):
Washington Post got so much guff over they finally deleted
it when they announced that he had been killed. There
was no reference to isis, no reference to terror, no
reference to any of those things. He was described in
the headline by the Washington Post as being and I quote,
(29:08):
an austere religious scholar. They took a vicious, murderous piece
of trash and called him an austere religious scholar. Keep
in mind, if memory serves me, this man gathered his
wife and children with him and blew them all up
(29:28):
as our troops approached. And the Washington Post looked at
that man and thought to themselves, hmm, that's somebody we
should probably defend. Why because they share a common enemy.
American democrats have an affinity for America haters because they
(29:51):
share a common enemy, America. That's why, and that's why
when they get elected they start spitting in the face
of our allies and they're almost it's almost like they're
friends with our enemies. Well, they are friends with our enemies.
Some emails Jesse, longtime listener here, I recently heard you
refer to something being decimated. Left these continuously misused words
(30:15):
and the throngs gave a new definition for decimated in
recent years. You being a Roman history guy, could you
tell your audience what the word originally means in the
Roman army context. I would love to hear you put
it into words. Your history telling is wonderful listening. Okay,
So words, when they are misused for long enough, they
(30:38):
will just simply be misused forever because the word, in
its misuse gets kind of ingrained in the minds of people.
We love to use the word decimation. They were decimated,
completely decimated, and we use it. We use it as
if wiped out completely. But I've explained this before on
the show. That's not what decimation means. Decimation, it's a
(31:00):
it's a Latin term. It comes from a Latin term
basically meaning a tenth. In the Roman Army, this was
rarely used. I should stress this when I say in
the Roman Army. Remember the Roman Empire lasted a thousand
years plus, and there were ups and downs and ebbs
and flows and this and that. So the Roman Empire
we tend to in our mind. I do this too,
(31:21):
We shrink it down to a palatable amount of time.
But on occasion, the Roman Army would practice decimation. In fact,
Crassus when he was putting down the Spartacus Rebellion. Remember
Spartacus's rebellion, the slaves, the gladiators rising up. That was
(31:43):
the third slave rebellion. They were known as the Servile Wars,
the slave Rebellions. Well, Crassus, this rich, powerful man in Rome,
was one of the generals put in charge of that,
and it was considered an unbelievable humiliation to lose to
a bunch of slaves. You're this professional Roman army. How
in the world could you lose to a bunch of slaves.
(32:06):
Crassis practiced it, and it was rare, and it was
controversial when he did it. But it's this, and it's
just the most brutal thing in the world. If a
unit screws up big time, We're talking shows cowardice, disobeys
an order, or even maybe just flat out fails, does
it get the job done? You would draw lots, You
(32:28):
draw straws. I'll say draw straws, so it's random. But
units were designed as ten man increments, very similar to
how our military, how most militaries are set up today.
Ten man increments. You draw straws. Whatever guy gets the

(32:54):
the other nine men in his unit, and let me

That you are with them all the time. They become
your family. I still speak to almost everybody in my

would do to a unit, to have to beat one
of their own to death. I personally, look, there are
(33:39):
some brutal practices from the past I can see being effective.
I wouldn't want to participate, but I could see being effective.
I personally think the Romans rarely use this because I

If you made me do that to one of my buddies,
if you were a commander who maybe do that to
(33:59):
one of my I'd plan on killing you. I just
put it that way. I would I'd kill you, but
that's the way I'd go anyway. Let's talk about billionaire
donors cutting off Democrats. That's fine. Next,
