Local Elections

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show where people be texting and we got
all kinds of great emails.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Coming up this hour, we'll talk about Gavin Newsom taking
the White House, god forbid. Somebody is about to enter
the VA wants to talk about some frustrations, Thanksgiving, dinner, Hamburger, Helper,
all that and so much more coming up in another
hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. So let's touch on

(00:31):
this one because it'll be uncomfortable and offensive and we'll
get all kinds of complaints. Hey, Jesse, you keep saying
the left wants to take away our guns so they
can hurt us. Imagine it's twenty thirty and Gavin Newsom
is now president. Gives me the willies. Swat teams are
going house to house, knocking on doors and demanding that
people give up their guns or go to a re

(00:52):
education camp. Please tell me what use all our guns
are going to be against the government taking away are guns?
Can you see the average yellow, yellow bellied American of
today standing up and fighting the government. People can't even
be bothered to vote. All right, Well, that's a very
fair question. One let's understand what motivates most people, what

(01:19):
motivates you in moments, at least if you're being honest
and me in moments, necessity necessity. Have you ever gone
through a period of time in your life or maybe
it's been your whole life, or maybe you're in one
right now where you weren't working out, you're being lazy.
I have this really yo yo thing when it comes

(01:43):
to working out. I will go all in two three months,
I'm all in. It's three four times a week, if
not more, working out, working out, working out, get myself
in great shape. Then like it's almost like a light switch.
I don't even understand how it happen. Happens. I'll just stop, Nah,
I don't feel like it. I'll stop and then I'll

(02:06):
double down on that and I'll start eating terribly. Do
you know what gets me back in the gym. This
has happened so many times. I'm ashamed. I'm embarrassed to
even say it. I wish I was a different person,
a better person, but you know, it gets me back
in the gym. I'll be getting in the shower one
day and I'll turn and look at it myself in
the mirror, naked and I'll go, oh gosh, what did

(02:31):
you do to yourself? You disgusting tub glue goo, And
next day back in the gym. Necessity drives so much
of what we do. If you're being honest, if you've
ever had a job, or maybe you're at one now
where you hear layoffs are coming, or that's the rumor

(02:53):
layoffs are coming. You work a little harder that day,
don't you. Maybe you show up a little earlier in
the coming days, the coming weeks earlier than you normally do.
Don't you stay late? Hey boss, just tear grinding, don't
you I've done it? Why why weren't you doing that before? Well?

(03:17):
In necessity? Now now now it's dire. You accurately point
out the apathy of a large portion of Americans. There
are a few things that are more disheartening politically than
looking at the voting totals for local elections. Just set

(03:38):
aside president stuff, and because those can go either way,
but local elections, you know, your community, your local government,
in your state government actually has so much more to
do with your quality of life than the federal government does.
They just do. Look at how many people show up,
and you look at those numbers, and you say to yourself,

(04:02):
this whole population is apathetic. They're not involved, they don't care.
That these people will never stand up and fight back.
But that would be it will be a mistake to
look at it that way. People are apathetic naturally until
they can't be anymore. I'm actually working on something right now.

(04:26):
I've told you my next history episode is going to
be the Rhodesian Bush War, right and I'm not going
to spoil it for you, but I'll give you just
a little tidbit of something. I'm getting background on the area.
I'm doing a bunch of reading and watching stuff and
listening to things on the background of the area so
I can set up the area appropriately for you. And

(04:47):
at some point in time, the Africans, this is before
actual Rhodesia, the Africans rebel against the Europeans that are there,
but they didn't rebel right away. In fact, the rebellion
the revolt was a bit of a shock because they
had been working with and for the Europeans for a

(05:09):
year or more with not really major problems. All of
a sudden, you open up the door of your hut
and there are twelve angry Africans with war clubs getting
ready to bash your skull in and you're looking around saying, what, well,
what happened? It was fine until it wasn't fine anymore.

(05:29):
If you are concerned about one day we get another
communist government in there and they attempt to do worse
things than even the Biden administration did, that's a valid concern.
That's a very valid concern, because they will try to
They're going to double and triple down the next time
if they can. The only lesson Democrats learned from all
the evil crap they've done over the last ten years

(05:52):
is they didn't do enough of it. That's the only
lesson they've learned. So that's a very valid concern. But
you can only push people so far. Just because my
normy neighbor skips a local election, even though I'm yelling
at him, doesn't mean he's not going to step up

(06:12):
and load a magazine if he hears the government is
going door to door confiscating people's guns. That for him
is probably a bridge too far, and now people are
gonna die and understand this. There are a lot of
bravado sounding statements around guns in the Second Amendment. In

(06:37):
America's gun ownership and things like that. You know, the
Second Amendment is the one that protects the rest of them.
But almost all those statements just like that one are
one hundred percent true, and the government knows it, and
the military knows it, and every law enforcement agency from
federal to local knows it. Your local police department wherever

(07:00):
it is, would be brushed aside like gnats. If the
armed people in your area ever chose to do so,
it would be like nothing. And I've told you this before,
and please don't do this, Please don't organize this or
do this. The reason it's so laughable that they called

(07:21):
the January sixth and insurrection is simply this. I know,
you think about DC almost like it's a fortress with
all the cameras and the cops and the Secret Service
and the FBI, and that there's all whoa, there's all
these federal guns. And if the American people wanted to
march into Washington, DC and wipe out the entire government,

(07:45):
including the FBI, including the Secret Service, it would be easy.
Did you know that? Just numbers wise, it would be nothing.
The reason it's laughable that it was an insurrection is
if there was ever in a tempted resurrection or resurrection
insurrection by Americans in this country. It would succeed. Unless

(08:08):
it was unbelievably tiny, it would succeed. There's nothing they
could do about it that the Secret Service would have
to scramble to get Trump on a helicopter and get
him out of town before him because there's no stopping
those numbers. As Napoleon so famously said, quantity has a
quality all its own. It's a great line, and it's very,

(08:30):
very true. The American citizen has more guns and ammunition
than every branch of the military and every law enforcement
agency in this country combined by orders of magnitude. The
American citizens, should they, god forbid ever feel the need

(08:55):
to revolt, would win. And the military knows it, and
the cops know it. And I mean, you can say
a swat team, what if the swat teams? Swat teams
know it too. Quantity has a quality on its own.

(09:15):
Don't ever, ever, ever give up your guns. Ever. The
reason they've been trying for so so long is they
know what I just said is true. And should they
ever succeed in confiscating our guns and taking them away,
then what I just said becomes completely untrue. Then we

(09:35):
would lose, Then we would be massacred. Whenever we get
an evil enough communist who wants to go do well
what communists have always done. Don't ever give up your
guns ever. And that little fact I told you about
how we could sweep these people out if we ever
chose so chose to do so. They all know it

(09:59):
and all hate it. Did you know that drive some razy,
absolutely crazy outifi iTunes. People be texting today, Chris, I
can't help it.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
I'm sorry, but like we don't have ethical like rules
that say that you can't receive text messages or you
can't respond to text messages, especially if somebody has a
certain record, and you can't do it in committee, we
obviously on our phones, and yes, people be texting.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
A cant help it, Bronco. I'll be retiring from the
military in about a year, so I'll be entering the
VA system with all that entails. When I think about that,
I know that truly disabled veterans get their well deserved
compensation every month. But also I know that thousands and
thousands of complete turds, literally, he says, made up injuries

(10:52):
and ailments to get that magic one hundred percent rating,
which means they get about four thousand dollars of tax
free money every month month until they die. Am I
the only one that angers to no end? It makes
me say, in the name of a just merciful gosh,
in the name of a just merciful guy, what's say you? Yeah?

(11:15):
I hate it, and I have friends who do it
are doing it. When we got out of the Marine Corps,
we got the same thing, you know, the same people
in our ear that young veterans get today. People telling you, hey,
go claim disability, Hey, get down to the VA. Hey,

(11:35):
if you do X, Y and Z, if you claim this,
if you claim that, if you claim this, then you
get free money. You get free money, You get free money.
And I never was never even tempted to do it.
I I kind of look at it as theft. If
I'm being honest, I feel like it's theft. I feel

(11:58):
like it's stevius and dirty, and I feel like it
is disrespectful to veterans who legitimately need it. That's what
I feel like, because I have friends who legitimately need it.
One of my buddies, he was a sniper in Iraq
and he was up on a rooftop. It doesn't matter.

(12:18):
But the roof caved in and he fell I think
like three or four stories through the building. And he's
actually the guy I bailed out of jail in Mexico,
by the way, and I was not with him when
it happened. I heard it had happened. We were in Iraq.
I had heard it. It happened, I think about a week

(12:39):
after it happened, and by the time I had heard,
they didn't know if he was still alive. And he
ended up living by the grace of God. And this
is a very physical, awesome dude. He was just an
awesome dude. And the next time I saw him, I
would say it was a year later. I'm just guessing

(12:59):
on that. Who knows. A year later finally saw him
on base. His entire freaking body was pins and needles
and casts, and I don't I think he broke both legs,
has himp both arms, ribs. It was awful, like his

(13:20):
body was shattered. You're right, Chris, very lucky to be alive.
Now you're telling me that you deserve the same disability
that guy deserves. That guy's going to have physical problems
the rest of his life. That guy's my age, and
he probably has arthritis all over his body from all

(13:43):
that damage and inflammation and that, and it it seems
dishonorable to those guys to go claim something like that.
So I never did it. I never liked it, never
did it. Wasn't even tempted to do it. And I
did go to the VA. There's a big VA in Tucson, Arizona,

(14:05):
and I went. I was having all kinds of stomach
problems when I got back from Iraq. I still don't
know what it was. Fine, it's fine now, but I
was having these real bad stomach problems. So I was
going to the VA. And you know, if you're a
veteran of a form war, you get free health care
at the VA. At least that's how it was. I'm
assuming it still is. And I'll tell you what really

(14:26):
hit me is you would go to the VA and
get these appointments, and you're sitting in there and you're
looking at all these old timers, you know, World War
two vets and Korean War vets, and they're cool hats on,
and you just know that guy's freaking cool. And then
you're sitting there. I'm sitting there pretty much. And I'm

(14:48):
able bodied. I'm having problems, that's why I'm there, but
I'm able bodied. And it made me self conscious about
taking up their space. And maybe that's a bad way
to look at I'm not saying I'm right, but it
made me self conscious about taking up their space. And
then the longer I would go to the VA, Iraq

(15:10):
was getting worse, you know, Irack got worse. After I
got back, Afghanistan was getting worse. And then younger guys
with significant injuries were starting to walk and be wheelchaired
through the halls at the VA, and that made me
even more self conscious. Now we're looking at guys my age,

(15:31):
and he doesn't have a leg, you know. Now we're
looking at guys my age and he's got burns all
over his body, and it just I don't want to
take up their space, if that makes sense. Does that
make any sense? I just don't want to. It made
me feel dirty, and I am a terrible person, I
admit that, but it made me feel a little bit dirty,
all right, right, And that's the kind of dirt you

(15:55):
don't want on your conscience. You just don't want that
on your conscience. I don't want it on mine. I've
got enough bad things I've done on my conscience. I
don't need to add anything else to it. A Jesse
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Friday. Remember you can
email us steal. We're live here on a Friday Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Let's knock out a couple
of food things because Thanksgiving is coming next week, and

(16:18):
I want to give you heads up on something for
next week before we get into this. I think I'm
gonna start this on Tuesday, Monday or Tuesday, but I'm
gonna give you a heads up now. On Wednesday, We're
gonna do a show I'm similar to our normal show,
of course, with issues in the stories of the day
and things like that. But I'm gonna start asking for
things you're thankful for. I used to do when we

(16:41):
rarely would take phone calls. Those were usually my favorite nights,
the ones tell me something you're grateful for. Sometimes that
can be hard to see, especially when you're going through
hard times, hard to find something to be grateful for.
But I think it's important, especially in this season. It's
a good season to do that. So I'm gonna ask
for it'll be emails, it won't be phone calls. Something

(17:03):
to consider thinking about. I'm gonna start asking for those.
And it doesn't have to be huge, right, But it
can't be Hey, I'm cancer free. You know. It could
be small. It could be whatever. I'm grateful I have shoes,
whatever it is, find something to be thankful for in
your life. It's a very healthy way to live. Jesse
actually says Bronco. My wife gave me the okay to

(17:24):
smoke chicken for Thanksgiving. She hates turkey. Sounds like a
wonderful woman. What are your recommendations to brine or not
to Brian the day before? What do you recommend for
a good rub? His name is Mike. I don't I
don't hope I didn't give you the impression that I'm
a good cook. I'm joking when I call myself a pitmaster.

(17:48):
I have a pellet smoker. Any idiot can use a
pellet smoker. That's actually exactly why I got the pellet smoker,
because I'm an idiot and I don't know what I'm
doing any more. On can turn on a pellet smoker
and throw a brisket on there and just leave it
for twenty four hours and pull it off and it'll
be delicious. Any moron can do that. That's why I

(18:11):
do that. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't
have any idea, but I'll tell you what I do know.
People criticize the Internet, and your criticisms are usually justified.
Of course, this is bad for you, and that's bad
for you, and social media and all the other smut garbage,
all that's bad for you. All that's very valid, But

(18:31):
remember it can be wonderful. You know how easy it
is now to find things online websites, social media of
how to cook things and they'll even break down a
little video for you. Go find good Point. Chris chef Gruel.

(18:53):
Chef Andrew Gruhle is a friend of mine. He's awesome,
awesome dude. Go follow Gruel on social media and he will.
I guarantee he's going to break it down for you.
And he does it in ways that are affordable too.
It's not all this well you have to use the
gold flakes and the truff with He's just a normal dude.

(19:14):
He will have you eating some of the best stuff
in your life that there's there are resources out there
for people all right, But in general, I will give
you this. I'm a beer canned chicken guy, and I
found these things. Every every guy who's a pit master's
gonna mock me right now, but I found these things.
Where it's a stand for beer care beer caned chicken.

(19:39):
You used to have to balance it yourself or something,
but now there's an actual stand where you put the
beer can in and it'll hold the chicken up low
and slow with beer canned chicken, and it's delicious. It
just is you cook everything the temperature that much. I know,
put a freaking thermometer in there and cook the temperature

(20:00):
it Jesse, I was attending my first holiday dinner of
the season. I'm completely mortified by what people do to desserts.
There's a delicious looking chocolate bunk cake covered in a
vomit brown coconut molasses, chocolate brownies with pecans in them. Oh,
come on, pumpkin pie with no cool whip or even

(20:21):
whipped cream. I had to settle for a piece of
lemon sponge cake. Please help your audience's holiday season, and
if they bring a dessert, keep it simple and delicious.
Everybody wants to be special. I do you do people
don't want to be like everyone else. They want to

(20:43):
have something special. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's good to be ambitious and want to rise above.
But in an effort to be special, people can oftentimes
ruin something that is good. And you see this a
lot with food, especially with desserts. We don't really need

(21:06):
your special flare on apple pie. Just make apple pie
be fine. That's right. Bring a think of vanilla ice
cream and throw it on some warm apple pie as
good as it gets. You definitely don't need to nut
the dessert. Can we stop putting pecans and various nuts

(21:27):
and the brownies? It's like a there's just nothing worse
than biting into a brownie and it's moist and it's delicious,
and then just this nut assalts your mouth. It's the
worst thing in the world. Can we stop nutting that?
There's no need of nut the desserts. There's Simplicity is key.
I've told you Obbs a great baker. Everything simple, Everything

(21:49):
is simple. Oh that reminds me, I've got a good
dessert for you for Thanksgiving. If you got a Thanksgiving
coming up and you don't want to go traditional pumpkin pie,
banana pudding with the Nila wafers in it. Banana pudding.
Of course, everyone in George is nodding, because that's what
Georgia really specializes in. But the rest of the country

(22:11):
is not necessarily familiar with the banana putting Georgia to
just stow it for a minute. I've got to tell
everyone else about this glory. Banana pudding is not even
that difficult to make. At least Abbs says it. I
don't know. I've never I've never done it. I've watched her, though,
and that's quite easy. It's easy watching her do it,
trust me. Banana pudding. Jesse, you speak often about the
communists habit of co opting institutions and pointing them at

(22:34):
their enemies. Is there a risk that Trump's deportation machine
is used to attack the right when Newsome or the
next Marxist takes power. There's a chance. I don't know
about specifically, Ice, because their role, their job is is
so narrow. They can't really wrap up US citizens and that,

(22:57):
but the Communists certainly could find a way. I will
say that that's the kind of thing we can't fret about,
meaning we can't sit and paralyze ourselves by thinking about
everything the communists might do with what we're doing. You

(23:20):
can't do that to yourself. It would be like getting
in a fistfight. You ever been in a fistfight. The
worst thing you can possibly do if you're getting in
a fight is sit and think about what he might
do to me if I do this. But if I
jab him right there, then he's going to get mad
about that. If I kick him here, then I might

(23:41):
really make him mad. And then if you start doing that,
you're going to lose. Period. When you are up against communists,
you know that they're going to use every institution. They
will infiltrate it like the little subversives they are, and
they will use it for the revolution until it dies.
It's what they always do, always have, always will. But

(24:04):
you can't stop you. You can't let that stop you
from building institutions. We must have institutions. Nations are built
on institutions. What we need to do is be much
more vigilant about letting the communists infiltrate them. We were

(24:24):
way too negligent, We were way too naive for so long,
and one day we woke up and gay the gay
pride was in the Boy Scouts. We looked around at thought, wait,
what the how did we weren't vigilant enough. We were
far too nice while the communist was on the move.

(24:45):
We were naive, We were nice, and we convinced ourselves
that at some point he would back off. It would
be too far, and he would back off. And then
the next day they put gay porn in your child's
school library. They don't back off. We have to stop them,
all right, we have more next for the last night.
Sheila Cheriflous McCormick. I don't know why they always have

(25:08):
the hyphenated last name, but look, we all we'll just
go with that for now. She's accused of funneling five
million dollars from FEMA into her campaign account. Well that's
kind of a big deal. That's kind of thing that's
going to send you to prison for a very long time. So, Sheila,
what's up with all this stuff?

Speaker 4 (25:27):
It's an unjust indictment, and it seems like his intimidation
taxes have been pervasive. We spent all weeks seeing different
members getting censured, all in hopes of intimidating and kind
of distracting from the Epstein files, and I look forward
to my day be coourt so I can I prove
myself and actually state the truth. But if this is
what Congress is becoming, where the're always try to intimidate
you scare tactics, especially attacking minorities, black and brown people,

(25:50):
then we're going to have to keep fighting for the district.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Ah And there it is every time. They're masterful at it. Jesse.
I listen to the show now, and then my dad says,
you're the most knowledgeable host. He's right. I'm new to politics.
My question is, if Democrats are so bad, why do
we not just keep mister Trump in power? Why not
get rid of Democrats and just have one party? My

(26:14):
dad loves the idea. I like the way you think, lady. Well, first,
we don't want Donald Trump in power forever. We don't
want anyone in power forever. Remember just a little remedial
US history. This idea of presidential term limits, where presidents

(26:35):
can only serve two terms, that's relatively new in American history.
George Washington was our first president. George Washington was insanely
popular in this country after the American Revolution because it's
just a boss and everybody was awesome, just an awesome guy,

(26:57):
and after two terms, Washington could have walked to re
election forever till we died in office easily. One of
the greatest things about George Washington is not just his generalship,
not just his bravery on the battlefield, his humility. He
loved his wife. It's not just that George Washington gave

(27:21):
up power on purpose. He gave up the presidency because
he knew it's unhealthy for a nation to have one
person in power that long, and it's unhealthy for him
to be in power that long. There is no man
walking the planet today. You want to rule over you

(27:45):
without end. It's just not I'll tell you something else.
We'll come back to the political parties thing in a moment.
You've heard of Bouqueley in El Salvador, right if you haven't.
He's the one who changed El Salvador from being the
murder capital of the world to being one of the
safest places in all of the planet. It's safe, it's clean,

(28:07):
and he's done just so many wonderful things there. He's
cleaning up the streets, he took all the criminals locked
him in cages. He impeached all the judges. He saved
the country, and he was supposed to be term limited
out according to their constitution. He's been so successful. He's
so popular. I believe his approval rating is over ninety percent.

(28:31):
Imagine that over ninety percent. Just the whole place is like, yeah,
so popular that they changed it so now he can
just stay. And I'm I'm a fan. I like him
a lot. I don't know him personally, but I'm so
impressed with someone who steps in and saves his country.

(28:53):
I mean, so I say this as someone who I
admire him and I so respect what he's done. The
second I saw that he can stay in power forever.
They think he's about my age forty two, I think
forty three. I thought to myself, Oh, that's probably going
to end badly. This is someone I like. This is

(29:16):
someone I like a lot. I respect as far as
I can tell from Afar. I mean, he may be
a scumbag, as far as I can tell from Afar,
seems to have a good heart, wants to save his country, family, man, husband, father,
This is someone I like and respect. He's done an
amazing job. And the second I saw he's there forever

(29:36):
I thought, Oh, that'll be terrible. It's not healthy to
stay in power, to stay in the limelight forever. I've
told you before about this job. I'm just so blessed
beyond belief to be here, so I don't deserve it.

(29:57):
I can't believe you like it. I'm blessed beyond belief
to be here. We love what we do. We laugh,
we laugh before the show, during the show, we just
we love what we do here. I'm not gonna be
doing this when I'm sixty five. I'm not staying that long.
I'm not going to I am going to retire, and
when I retire, I'm not going to retire and then

(30:20):
go put up an Instagram video every fifteen minutes. Hey
it's Jesse Kelly. I'm in the meat section of the
grocery store. Hey, I've ever been up. I'm just going
to go away. I'm gonna retire. I'm gonna go watch
my grandkids suck at sports, which I know they're going to.
I'm gonna be at every little choir thing they do.

(30:41):
I'm gonna travel with ob as much as I can
do so, and I'm just going to disappear and have
a normal life because that's healthy. What Chris. Chris said,
how are you gonna do that with no hobbies. I'm
gonna develop some hobbies, Chris, I've yet. Food is a hobby, Chris,

(31:02):
Yes it is. You think I'm not. You think I'm
not gonna start just traveling around trying the best stuff
out there. By the way, I told you, I'm go
to New York City next week. Not only have I
already scouted out a cheese steak place in New York City,
I made sure I already sent it to Jewish producer
Chris and producer Corey to rub it in their faces

(31:25):
that they don't get to eat there and I do.
And fellas, don't worry. I may not put it out
