Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jesse Kelly Shoe another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show
on a Thursday. So I'm about to do something that
I don't ever do, and I'll explain why in just
a moment. But I have this rule, and it's a
rule for me. I would recommend it for you, but
obviously you live your life however you wish. And this
(00:23):
rule is, I don't get involved in other people's fights.
Most definitely, if my friends are fighting with each other,
I don't stick my nose in it. If I have
a couple I know and they're having all kinds of
problems and maybe even talking about divorce, that's your problem.
(00:45):
I'm not sticking my nose in it. Now somebody comes
asking me for help or to mediate the situation, I'm
always there to help, But I don't take these arguments
people have and jump in take it aside, throwing poop
back and forth. And one thing that's very, very fascinating
about this job, doing radio for a living, which is
(01:08):
still so weird to me. One thing that's fascinating about
that is people want me to get involved in all
kinds of spats, whatever spat they are interested in, whatever
particular causes their interest They understandably want me to get involved.
They think it will help their cause. They want to
(01:29):
hear from me on it. So I get it, but
it's just because of how I am, and that was
this way a long time before I get into media.
I just don't do that now. I am sure you've
probably heard, or at least you've heard of it, that
United States Senator from Texas Ted Cruz went and sat
(01:50):
down with Tucker Carlson and they did a long, very
contentious interview, and the real central theme of it was
Tucker does not want to get involved in all this
Iranian stuff. Ted Cruz does want to get involved in
all this Iranian stuff. And that is the ultimate im paraphrasing.
But they are very opposite on this thing, and they
(02:13):
went at each other, and then it's been even worse
ever since they've been going at each other publicly on
social media and then and then they're different surrogates of
different camps. You know, Doucker's people or Ted's a been
worth a piece of crap, and Ted's people are Docker's
a liar and a back So let me before I
read the email, let me go ahead and get this
(02:33):
out of the way first. I know Ted Cruz and
I know Tucker Carlson as in multiple times I have
hung out with these people. I know them. Okay, so
I wouldn't have gotten involved anyway. I'm really not tempted
to get involved in all this. But I'll explain why
I am in a moment because I got this one. Hey,
(02:54):
great leader of the masses, is it asking too much
for your take on your friend Tucker Carlson's slugfest with
your man Ted Kruse? It was like watching a divorced
couple argue over who gets the house, with Tucker starring
as the bitter ex and so on and so forth.
I know the US government gets all right, so on
(03:16):
and so forth. This guy's obviously very upset with Tucker.
He was taking Cruise aside. But that doesn't matter. Isn't
too much to ask for my opinion? Well, here's my opinion,
and everyone's going to hate it. Here's my opinion. I
think what they did was awesome, both of them. I
(03:37):
do not think arguments are bad all the time. You
know what I like? I like that Tucker Carlson has
an opinion, He has strong opinions. He has strong opinions
about American policy foreign and domestic. He has a strong
disagreement with Ted Cruz when it comes to Iran and Israel.
(04:00):
Tucker Carlson invited him United States Senator to come sit down,
and he didn't shy away from his opinions. He sat
and he asked hard questions of the United States Senator.
On the flip side for Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz was
well aware before this that Tucker Carlson was, well, he
(04:24):
doesn't have a Ted Cruz bumpersticker. We'll put it to
you that way. Those two have gone at each other before,
when Tucker had his big show on Fox News. They've
gone at each other. It's not like Ted Cruz got ambushed.
Ted Cruz walked into a long form, not some five
minute snippet, a long form, two hour interview, and he
(04:47):
knew it was going to be hostile. He knew that
the person interviewing him disagreed with him on what would
be the main subject of the interview. And yet he
showed up any and they argued for two hours and
both of them made a bunch of really solid points.
(05:09):
And I think that's good. Am I crazy, I saw it.
I saw all the snippets. Haven't watched two hours of it.
I'm not doing that, but I thought it was awesome.
I think this. No, I think that you're wrong about this,
You're wrong about that. What's wrong with having an argument?
(05:31):
And when we're discussing something as big as foreign policy,
regime change, nuclear weapons, America's military, shouldn't we have debates,
even on our side. I want debates. I want people
on our side saying, no, go in, take out the
(05:52):
nuclear sites, hit them hard, let God sort them out.
I want that, and I want other people on our
side saying, ah, hold on, pause, what are we changing
the regime to? Who's facilitating that? Is America paying for
all this? Are we gonna get involved in another Afghanistan?
That's healthy. It's healthy to sit down and have arguments
(06:18):
with people. As I've said, your friendships have arguments, it's fine.
Don't do it in front of other people. Don't embarrass
people publicly. Have arguments with your spouse, your husband, your wife.
And I know, and I'm not trying to be Grandpa Jesse,
trust me, I'm really not. But I remember what it
(06:41):
was like when I was younger. When you are young,
if you're a young couple listening to this just hear
me out here. When you have a big blowout fight
with your spouse, it feels like the end of the world.
When you are young, that's what it feels like. It
feels like it's over. I've screwed every up. My life
is over. He's gonna leave me, She's gonna leave it.
(07:03):
If the older you get you realize it's not it's
gonna be fine. You're gonna cool off tonight and you're
gonna go dancing in the moonlight together, or you'll work
it out tomorrow or something. It's healthy. I like that
Tucker Carlson invites a US senator he disagrees with and
(07:26):
sits him down and interrogates him for two hours. And
I like that Ted Cruz had the guts to go
do it because Ted Cruz knew he was gonna get
it both barrels from somebody who's really, really good at
that thing, and he did, and Tucker gave it to
him both barrels. I realize they may hate each other,
and that's fine. I don't care. I'm not their mommy.
(07:48):
I'm not involved in any of that at all. I
liked it. I consume as much information when it comes,
especially when it comes to foreign affairs, I consume as
much inform from every source as possible because there's so
much information out there, but there are so many lies
out there, and there are so many people avoiding the
(08:09):
truth out there. I like hearing from every side and
figuring out where I fall down on it. The reason
I brought up the regime change things earlier, in case
you missed it, I have asked these two very important questions.
If the goal is regime change, and publicly people are
(08:30):
calling for that, NET and Yahoo called for that, American
politicians have called change.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And I believe that this president should be given a
fair amount of leeway.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
To affect that. Okay, change it to who, change it
to what? And who is facilitating that. Vague answers, by
the way, do not work, because then you end up
with a warlord. If your answer to who's facilitating that
is the Iranian people. I know that sounds really great
(09:03):
in social studies class, but in the real world that
means it'll be the guy who gathers the most guns
and will do the most violence he ends up winning.
That's what it means. When you well, it's up to them,
if you're going to topple a government, even an evil
one like the Iranian government, there has to be a
(09:23):
solid plan to replace it with something the people of
Iran will accept. That is my question. Nobody has given
me that answer yet, I get a bunch of vagaries,
or I get told to shut up, or I get
told nobody has answered these questions. Yet. The only solid
answer to one of those two questions is, Hey, the
(09:45):
Shah's son, the royal family. Essentially, we're going to reinstall
the Shaw's son. Okay, if that's the plan, fine, I'm
just asking what is the plan and what kind of
a government is that going to be a monarchy, some
kind of a constitutional anarchy? Are the people going to be? Okay?
But these are valid questions to ask. Just observe taking
(10:08):
as much information as you can. All right, let's talk
about Disney and Harvard and Godzilla. Next, it is the
Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday, reminding you
that tomorrow is and ask doctor Jesse Friday, ask me anything.
Email your questions in right now to Jesse at Jesse
(10:29):
kellyshow dot com. We'll get back to a bunch of
emails in a moment. But I wanted to point out
that there are there are some companies in America, a
lot of companies that are pulling back on all the
sick cultural Marxist filth. They're not doing this because they've
had a change of heart and now they love family
in America and God. They're doing this because you and
(10:51):
me we started putting our money where our morals are
and they started getting afraid of us. But there are
other companies, there are some that are not changing, and
we can't get lulled to sleep by the fact that
we've had some wins. America's university system is as committed
(11:12):
to destroying this country as they have ever been before. Yes,
I realized that the all the DEI guidance, you're not
allowed to have DEI anymore. How many examples have we
pointed out of these people doing the exact same thing,
just changing the name. They haven't changed their cultural Marxist
ways and the country well here, right here, Harvard Law
Review acts as eighty five percent of submissions using race
(11:37):
conscious rubric. You think all the communists who've been blocking
the Asians and white people from getting into Harvard, do
you think Donald Trump won the election and they've changed
their ways, totally changed that way of thinking. No, I'm
done with all that. Now you think that, and then
there's Disney. This is from Breitbart. Disney's iron Heart art
(12:00):
features a drag queen Robinhood character who steals from the privileged.
Disney has not changed at all, And I only brought
this up to cost them money. It's my only purpose.
You don't have to take your kids to Disneyland or
(12:20):
Disney World. There are incredible theme parks all over the
United States of America that don't have dudes dressed up
like chicks in the Queen's store. Disney does with a
beard Disney does. You don't need Disney. Plus most of
the new stuff they put out's garbage anyway, garbage. Stop
(12:45):
supporting this putrid company. They still put this stuff out
there because I understand why let me explain, I understand
why Disney's still putting it out there. They're putting it
out there because they have felt enough financial pain, and
they haven't felt enough financial pain because Americans don't want
(13:08):
to let go of certain traditional things that have been wonderful.
And Disney, even though it's this entertainment entertainment company, this
child entertainment company has been really part of America's fabric
for my entire life and before then, but for my
entire life. When we were kids that we didn't go
(13:31):
to the movies very often, but man, you always wanted
to see the newest Disney movie. When you were a kid.
There was just it was. There was the oh, what
are they putting out now? The Lion King or whatever.
The new Disney became part of our life, and it
became this accomplishment for young parents, a destination accomplishment. I'm
(13:54):
talking about Disneyland in California or Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
It became one of those things if you're a young
couple and you start having kids when they're old enough,
if you can cobble together enough money. It was always expensive,
it's brutal enough, if you can cobble together enough money.
It almost seemed like like a right of passage to where, well,
(14:19):
we're okay, we've we've saved up enough, the kids are
old enough, now they can ride them my little teacup stuff.
Let's go to Disney World. And you know what, pointing
fingers right here, because I did it. Now. This is
before Disney went complete insane. But we did exactly that.
(14:40):
We saved up, we road tripped it. We couldn't even
afford to fly there. We road tripped it, saved up,
loaded the two kiddos in the suv, and we drove
down to Orlando, Florida, and we did Disney World. And
the reason I know what the feeling is is because
that was our feeling. We thought, well, it almost I
don't want to say an oblig but it almost felt like,
(15:01):
I mean, we got to take the kids to Disney World.
It's just kind of one of those things you've got
to do. Every kid needs to go to Disney World.
This way of thinking we had it, we did it.
We've got to stop. We've got to stop because these
corporations that won't bend the knee, these corporations that have
(15:23):
decided to press the gas pedal on all the evil filth,
all the LGB stuff for the kids, all that stuff,
we have to make it harder for them. And we
have not made it hard enough on Disney yet, because
as many people have let go of you know, bud Light,
(15:43):
or they don't they don't shop at Target anymore, or
they won't go see the newest gay movie or whatever
it is. As many gains as we've made there, we
still can't quite shake this Disney thing. Disney is still
that's tradition, isn't it tradition? And I get that. I
(16:04):
get the why. It's very very understandable, but something we
gotta let go. All right, I'm going to talk to
you about something. Hop Lights. We did the Alexander the
Great history stuff. I think that was last week, maybe
the week before now, it was week before, week before,
week before we did Alexander the Great, and so it
(16:27):
had me nerding out on all the hop lights that
the soldiers, the militia soldiers and professional soldiers of ancient
Greece stuff, swords, shields, spears. It's freaking fascinating.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on an amazing Thursday.
Remember if you missed any part of the show, you
download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. All right,
do some emails, let's do some Jasmine Crockett first, though
I wish I'd put that differently here.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
She was, you know, thinking that you have your own
special little army that's for you. I mean, it is
just it is sick. It is really sick. And anybody
that supports it is also sick. And so you know,
we've got a mental health crisis in this country because everyone,
no matter how you affiliate yourself, should be against Trump. Period.
(17:23):
This is not partisan for me.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Barack Obama used to do that all the time, and
he really, look he learned it from his mentors, communists
like Frank Marshall Davis and the other people who mentored him.
But he really passed that along and he did it
very well. Now Democrats speak like this all the time,
and when I say like this, this is what I mean,
(17:47):
he'll take the most partisan stance in the world, and
then he'll complain about anyone who opposes it as being
partisan or being political. Hey, we need to open up
the border and let everybody in. This is in some
partisan issue. Don't make it political. Let's just open up
the border. Communists do this all the time because there's
(18:09):
this mentality. I want you to think about the communist
revolution as food dye. Stay with me, red food dye.
All right, you have me. So I want you to
picture a piece of corn bread in front of you. Gosh,
I love cornbread. That's not important. Right now, you have
(18:30):
a piece of corn bread in front of you. You
have a bottle of food dye. What the communist is
constantly doing is trying to pour as much food dye
onto the corn bread as possible, to get it to
stain permanently, as much of the corn bread red as
(18:53):
it possibly can. When it comes to their activism, they
try to enshrine it into the law. They try to
enshrine it into the bureaucracy. They don't want you to
have the ability, even if you hate it, even if
you want to vote it out, they don't want you
to have the ability to do that. Once the cornbread
(19:14):
becomes red, you can't get the red out of the
corn brand. The cornbread is red. They operate the exact
same way with their laws, with policies. They operate the
exact same way with language. They will try to use
language and stop all opposition to it. That's why they
use tactics like, hey, I think we should just abort
(19:36):
every baby. Hey, don't oppose me. Why are you being political?
I was talking about babies. Quit being partisan about the
whole thing. It's an attempt to silent you. It's a
defense mechanism. That's why they do it. Dear historical oracle.
Speaking of Kamakazi stuff, have you watched Godzilla Minus one?
(19:57):
I promise it's good. H it is very good. I watched.
I didn't watch a ton of movies with my dad
when I was a kid, but when we did, it
was almost always John Wayne movies. I've seen them all
multiple times, and James Bond movies very kid friendly. Thanks Dad,
But it was John Wayne and James Bond movies, with
(20:18):
the exception of the Monster movies, meaning the Godzillas. I'm
talking the old, cheesy ones where the guys clearly and
you know, a rubber costume or something. The Godzilla movies,
the King Kong movies. I've seen them all, and it's
just funny how things get speaking of things getting just
ingrained in you, cemented in you. Now I feel obligated
(20:42):
to see all of them. Every time there's a Godzilla
movie out, I'll go see it in theaters, the good ones,
the garbage ones. If there's a King Kong movie out,
I'll go see it. What Chris wasn't it in Japanese?
Godzilla Minus one? Well, I don't want to talk about that,
you see. I I am able to watch movies that
(21:09):
have subtitles. I don't mind watching movies that have subtitles
at all. We watched this movie when we were in Iraq.
You only have this was during there were CDs. Back then.
You didn't have iPhones where it was in the cloud
or anything like that, and there was no internet anyway.
So for music we only had a few CDs, and
(21:31):
the same way worked for DVDs, and they were all CDs.
I'm explaining this like an old man. I'm explaining it
to kids. You know what I'm talking about though. CDs, well,
it's a horrible desert and we don't have facilities. Over time,
they were all destroyed, scratched up, destroyed, scratched up, destroyed.
So whatever we started out with we ended up with
nothing less left. I remember, I remember like it was yesterday.
(21:54):
We had a little boom box, a little boombox that
played CDs, and we had a few different CDs with
us Pink Floyd and Metallica and and things like that.
And we had a Godsmack. It was this band, Godsmack.
I don't even know if they're still around, but we
were invading and we had our boombox, and slowly but surely,
(22:15):
you could tell the boombox was straining under all that
grit and dirt in it. You know, CD players didn't
do well with that, and slowly but surely the CDs
were getting scratched up and mangult, so they were just
slowly fading away the whole time. Right, Eventually, all we
have left is the Godsmack CD, which I didn't mind them.
(22:36):
Had a couple of good jams, good workout jams, but
it wasn't really my favorite thing. But I remember the
moment we had the CD, the little boombox in the
track in our Amtrak and armored troop carrier. Okay, and
armored troop carrier is what you would know it has.
We were in this track and we're in Iraq and
we had this horrible sandstorm and we weren't allowed to
(22:57):
play music during it. There were terrorist attacks that we
had to do other things. But when it was done,
we were so covered. Our teeth were covered in dirt.
I have pictures from it, like you're just caked and dirt,
and remember there are no showers, and so we all
kind of cringe looking at our boombox thick and there's
no way it made it through, right, And we turn
(23:19):
it on and it started playing. It was like this miracle. Well, yes,
it started playing. It was this great moment, but then
it lasted maybe a minute and it was all gone,
gone forever. We never got it back again. It was
our last boombox. It was our last CD. Chris, Why
(23:40):
did I go off talking about this whole thing again?
Oh yeah, God's Lili minus one. Anyway. One of the
very few, thanks Chris, I got distracted. One of the
very few DVDs we had was Forgive Me Lord, a
French movie. Now, stay with me, Chris. It's called Brotherhood
of the Wolf. Uh if I remember right, I'm trying
(24:03):
to think. I don't think it's for the kids. Hey kids, No, no,
I think there's a couple of scenes in that movie
that are not kid friendly. Check with mom. Okay, check
with dad. Never mind, check with mom. Dad's gonna tell
you it's okay. Brotherhood of the Wolf it was. They
had muskets and things like that, but they were it
(24:24):
was essentially a martial arts movie where they were beating
a lot of people up. But it was in French. Yes,
I know, Chris, French martial arts. It didn't seem right,
rateed R. Yes, I remember it was definitely rated R
either way. It had subtitles, and because it was one
of the only things we had whenever we got to
a place, a civilized place where there was a TV,
(24:47):
it was the only movie we would watch because it
was the only one we had. I developed a set
of skills. I can read subtitles and watch a movie.
Ob cannot. It's not that she can't. She hates it.
She's not a huge reader anyway, although she's picking up
(25:10):
on that she hates it. And when we went to
Godzilla minus one, because everyone had told us how great
it was, I did not realize there were subtitles. We
sat down and the movie starts it immediately I hear
that thing that every guy has heard before, and every
woman listening has done this to her man before I hear,
(25:33):
and I know right off the bat, I'm just wincing.
They all know what the Yeah, it was a rough
two hours, Chris, it was rough, all right, It's rough.
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a fan Fantastics Thursday,
reminding you to email your ask Doctor Jesse questions in
for tomorrow. Email those to Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
(25:59):
Let's do a bunch of stuff, shall we. Jesse question,
how are the guests hosts selected? Do you have any
say in it? No? Well, yes and no. I guess
I should say I have the ultimate say in it
if I wanted to. Was that accurate? Chris? Did I
(26:21):
answer that? Yeah? Chris is laughing because I answered it
very accurately. They always ask there are I really I've
been blown away since I took this gig at how
wonderful Premiere has treated me. And I really mean that.
I'm not just sucking up to my employer. They just
have been wonderful. They let me say whatever I want.
When you hear the crap we get away with on
(26:42):
this show, we get to do whatever we want. There's
never any correction. Don't say this, You're not allowed to
talk about that. They've never tried to force me to
take an advertiser. When I say no, they don't complain,
And so they're very respectful when it comes to fill
in hosts, Hey, it's j okay with this person, it's
Jesse okay with that person. They're always asking Chris this stuff, right,
(27:05):
Chris is Jesse okay? And Chris always gives them the
same answer, because Chris knows Jesse doesn't care. And it's
not that I don't. It's not that I don't care
about you and your drive home or your workout or
at work or however you listen to the show. It's
not that I don't care about that. I understand that
(27:27):
when I'm gone, for whatever it is, it is an
opportunity for somebody who wants this gig. Like I said,
everyone who does this wants this. It's an opportunity for
them to shine. And so I don't want to try
to control the process. I want somebody, get someone new
(27:49):
every night, I don't care. Get somebody in there and
see if somebody else can make your day great. Say go,
I like, you know what blesses me And I don't
know why. Maybe it's just because I'm an old man.
It's baseball season, right, and you know professional baseball, the
major leagues. You know that they have minor leagues Triple
(28:10):
A and Double A and Single A and all that stuff.
You know what, I've always loved when somebody gets a
call up to the majors when he's playing Triple A
or something like that, and he gets a call up
at Hey, guess what so and so got hurt for
the Atlanta Braves. We need you to show up and
play right field for the next two games. And he
(28:33):
shows up and performs. He shows up, has the opportunity
of a lifetime underneath the bright lights and hits a
bomb if he's a picture, goes out there and throws
twelve kse and wins a game. Just boom, gets an
opportunity and does it. I love that stuff. I nerd
(28:57):
out on that stuff. So whenever there's a host, I
don't care who it is, go get them, go shine.
You know James T. Harris does. He does a lot
of the feelings. James T. Harris. He's out about Phoenix, right,
Chris Phoenix. Did you know that? I know James T
from back in the day. I got to know him
personally when I was running for Congress, before I was
(29:19):
even in this business. And I think James T does
a dynamite job whenever he fills in. But that's a
guy who saw an opportunity. Hey, get to fill in,
swing for the fences. He does. You enjoy him? You email?
It makes me proud. I like that. I like people
taking a big chance, betting on themselves, getting a big
(29:42):
opportunity and killing it. I just have always. I don't
know what that is, if that's an old man thing
or I don't know what that is, but I like it. It
does my heart well. Dear Princess Hans, you know that's
not very nice. I heard you talking a couple of
weeks back about the pain it would feel to be
shot in the hand and that movies don't do it justice.
(30:02):
My question to you is do you live in peace
knowing your tiny baby hands are immune? You know what? Nevermind,
I'm sorry I read that, Chris. Could we screen these
emails from now on? Chris, Dear gigantic hands, Jesse, see,
I like this guy. Let me say, I want to
commend you for completing that fast last week. It was
very inspirational for those who weren't paying attention. I fasted
(30:25):
all morning one day and past noon. I existed on
only a protein shake in several cups of coffee, to
which producer Chris put me down at every turn, tried
to tell me it wasn't a real fast or something
like that. Anyway, Sorry, Chris, I inspired this guy. He
goes on to say, I know it wasn't easy. You
(30:47):
had to have been vamished, but you pulled it off.
Thank you. I wanted to ask, is that if anyone
ever told you you sometimes sound like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Usually happens when you're reading, you're saying something you find
very funny. Chris, what's Shaggy sound like? I don't remember Shaggy?
Do I sound like Shaggy? I'm more high pitched. I
(31:09):
was gonna say, how am I more high pitched than anybody? Okay? Yeah,
I don't understand that, Master of reality. What was the
weirdest animal? What is with? Asked doctor Jesse as it
started early. What's the weirdest animal encounter you had with
your dad in Montana? Weirdest animal encounter? I'll tell you
this one. This actually wasn't Montana, but this is probably
(31:33):
probably the most nerve racking animal encounter. In fact, I'll
give you two of them. One isn't even mine. It's
my dad's. Dad goes out. My dad was a big outdoorsman,
much more than me, all about the hunting and fishing
that he was that guy, right, He was always out
there hunting and fishing. He went up deer hunting one
time and it was snowy. It was Montana. It was
(31:55):
deer hunting, and he's tracking these deer through the mountains,
doesn't end up getting anything, starts making his way back.
Towards the end of the day, he notices mountain lion tracks,
essentially covering his tracks. Unbeknownst to him, he was being
(32:17):
stalked by a mountain lion for a long period of
time in the mountains of Montana, and he was up
there by himself. Now, granted he had a high powered rifle,
my dad's was Sorry. It was a very large man anyway,
who was six four two fifty, and he would have
had a side arm and a knife. It would have
been one of the tougher meals that mountain lion ever
(32:38):
tried to take down. But yeah, mountain lion, what Chris, Well,
that's true. Look, it is a mountain lion and they
are expert. Look, they kill elk because they're big cats.
They know how to get a hold of your throat,
and once they get your throat, you're basically done. But
can they get your throat? I don't know. And I
hadn't even grown yet to the point I could tell
(33:00):
my dad. My cheetah hunting techniques and my plans that
I intended to use if I ever get in a
fight with the cheetah. I will give you a different
animal encounter though, And then we are going to discuss
the flag pole at the White House. It's an interesting
thing for the left to get mad about. Next
