Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Thursday.
We are almost there. Hold On for one more day.
That was a great song. I think it was an
eighties song. Either way, hold on for one more day.
We're almost to the end of the week and we

(00:28):
have a huge show for you tonight on The Jesse
Kelly Show. Although I am a touch upset, I'm going
to try to get that out right in the opening
here there was something Trump said again today. I'm gonna
try to get it out of my system. Once I
get it out of my system, we will bounce around
to so many other things. We're gonna talk about emails, astronauts,

(00:52):
people blowing snap funding, people not buying homes. A bunch
of people got fired in the wake of Charlie Kirk murdering.
The media is mad about it, our court system being
a ratchet. All that and so much more coming up
tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. In fact,
Chris now I think of it, probably should have done

(01:12):
this before the show. Grabbed that Trump line from Laura
Ingram where he was talking about the h one b's
and the foreigners and things like that. And I want
to say, as Chris digs that up. I want to
say something we've talked before about how you are a

(01:34):
political person. I'm a political person, so we're going to
vote in a different way than the normies. And you
know that you're different. I'm different. We're not the norm
we're not the majority, We're the hyper political people. I
got that. But you know, when I knew Democrats were
in serious, serious trouble before the last election, When I

(01:55):
knew they were in serious trouble, I hung out. You know,
I hung out with normal people. I don't live in DC,
I don't live in New York City. I do not
hang out with other radio hosts or politicians or lobbyists
or anything like that. I hang out with normal people
who do normal things. Many of them are close to
my age, which is obvious. People usually hang out with

(02:18):
people close to their age, so I'm forty four. Most
of the people I hang out with have children, and
the frustration and fear they had for the jobs market
for their children was palpable. The frustrations they would talk about,

(02:40):
and some of their kids are just dynamite students they
would talk about. He graduated, He's put out fifteen hundred resumes,
he can't get a return phone call, can't He's going
to move back into the home. This is not one neighbor,
this is the majority of my friend circle. My daughter
can't find anything, my son can't find anything. She's moving
back home, trying to find a job, she's waiting tables.

(03:02):
It was everywhere in my friend's circle. Americans were doing
everything quote the right way, graduating. Sometimes it was high school,
trade school. Now the trade school guys obviously fared better,
but the ones went on went to college, graduated good degrees.
We're not talking basket weaving or any black studies that

(03:24):
were talking good degrees. And they couldn't find anything, and
they were so mad, and they were as signing blame.
Every day there was a news story about how many foreigners.
Joe Biden was coming in and that night they're talking
to Aiden Shaden and Braiden and Aiden Jaden and Braiden
can't find a job. And they're as parents, not political people,
as parents. They were furious, furious. I knew Democrats were

(03:51):
in serious trouble going into that election because of the
parent factor, the kitchen table factor. Now you remember, I
think it was earlier this week when Trump sat down
with or Ingram and.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Said, this H one B visa thing will not be
a big priority for your administration because if you want
to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the
country with tens of thousands or hundreds.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
And we also do have to bring in talent when.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
We've got on your talent and you know, you don't know,
we don't have talented people.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
No, you don't have you don't have certain talents, and
you have to people have to learn. You can't take
people off an unapplied like an unemployment line is say
I'm going to put you into a factory. We're going
to make missiles.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
H one bees are not highly skilled people. And everyone
knows this. Now that's O ones, that's an O one visa.
That's a totally different thing. H one bees are low skilled,
entry level. Do you know what Normany's heard when Donald
Trump said, hey, Aiden, Jaden and Braiden, he doesn't have it.

(05:03):
We've got to go get some Indians. You know how
that landed? Not well, I'll tell you that much. Not well.
Those same normy friends of mine are upset. Okay, one
bad interview. Let's the White House clearly heard the backlash
from you, from me, from the normies. Surely he's going

(05:24):
to drop that line, right because parents don't want to
hear that. People struggling to find work, they don't want
to hear that. That's that's a really bad line. You
Americans are too dumb. We got to go bring it
in some more foreigners. Bad line, all right, Yeah, a
bad moment, it happens. This was Trump today to.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Bring people to get those plants opened. We want you
to do that, and we want those people to teach
our people how to make computer chips and how to
make other things.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
You can't come in, and I'm explaining, you.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Can't come in open up a massive computer chip factory
for billions and billions of dollars like is being done
in Arizona, and think you're going to hire people off
an unemployment line to run it. They're going to have
to bring thousands of people with them, and I'm going
to welcome those people.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Now.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
I love my conservative friends, I love MAGA, but this
is MAGA. And those people are going to teach our
people how to make computer chips, and in a short
period of time, our people are going to be doing great.
And those people can go home where they probably always
want to be. You know, when people are born someplace,

(06:37):
they tend to want to go. And we have the
greatest country in the world, but they want to go.
And what.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Aiden Jaden and Braiden can't be taught how to make chips,
that's basic company training. Aiden Jaden and Braiden can't run
a forklift, can't be taught how to push buttons on
a machine. That's ridiculous. And not only is it ridiculous,

(07:12):
it's political suicide. The coalition that elected Donald Trump is large,
and there are all different parts of the coalition with
different motivations, there's no question about that. But the stop
this immigration coalition is probably the biggest part of it.

(07:37):
And the only other part of the coalition that can
compare is that I need a job. I'm not making
ends meet coalition, and these kinds of statements manage to
offend both of them. We have a mid term election
coming in twenty twenty six, less than a year. The

(07:58):
United States of America will go to the polls and
decide who they want to run the House of Representatives
and one third of the Senate. If Democrats get enough
votes in the House of Representatives, they're going to impeach
Donald Trump every fifteen minutes for fun. They've already announced it.
They won't even have a choice. Their base will demand it.

(08:19):
And if the next year is Donald Trump telling Americans
they're too stupid to make chips, we have to have
low skilled people from India by the thousand come in
and teach us poor dumb American oaks how to make things.
We are going to get slaughtered in twenty twenty six.
It's going to be you and me on election night,

(08:41):
crying in our beer, wondering what went wrong. Even if
even if I get I'll give miss even if he
believes it, you don't say it, You don't say it.
I got to have this conversation with the My son,
my youngest son, super picky eater, doesn't always like the

(09:04):
fact that can make some healthier meals. Sometimes he doesn't
want chicken and rice. Sometimes he says it. I've had
to pull him aside. When your mother makes dinner for you, you
show gratitude one, and if you don't like it, shut
your friggin mouth, eat and be quiet. You don't have

(09:27):
to voice every single thought that comes into your head.
Donald Trump is in the white House, because of affordability,
because of the economy, the jobs market, and immigration. Every
single pull showed it. That's what he ran on. That's
what put him in the White House. Please stop telling

(09:48):
Americans they're too stupid to learn how to make chips.
I don't know who is currently advising the White House.
Maybe this is just Trump's thing, he's his old man.
Maybe it's business leaders around him. I don't know who
is currently saying this, but please for the play in

(10:09):
the name of a just merciful guy, stop telling Americans
they're too dumb. We need more foreigners. Do you know
what that sounds like to my normy neighbors who have
their college graduate sons living in their basement. It doesn't
sound good. I'm gonna move on. I'm going to attempt

(10:31):
to move on. I told you just had to get
that off my chest. Please stop saying this. Okay, here
we go, decided to get that out. I'm better now, Chris,
I told you, I'm better now. It's a little bit upset.
Now we're good to go. Have you gotten your burna

need to get all your questions emailed in right now
to Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. All three hours

(13:12):
belong to you tomorrow. We will have a good time
as we always do, answering questions, riffing on things. Yeah, look,
I already said the messaging needs to change. We have
to stop with this line about how we have to
bring in more foreigners. Let's stick with this kind of messaging.
This is the kind of messaging that gives people hope,

(13:33):
that makes people think this administration is correctly prioritizing them.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
The President uses the number twenty trillion in terms of
total investments, and I think that those commitments are real.
And whether it's corporate investment, whether it's a Japanese trade
deal or they're going to put in five hundred and
fifty billion, whether it's the Korean trade deal with three

(13:58):
hundred and fifty billion, whether it's Apple saying that they're
going to reshore. I believe that they may be up
to five hundred billion. So it's investments like we've never seen.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
And just to put that in, Okay, good, that's inspirational. Good,
there's money coming in. You know what that says to Americans.
You might not have a job today, you might not
be making ends meet today, It's going to get better.
We're building things up. That's good messaging. This, this is
good message.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
So the non barn payrolls number coming in at one
hundred and nineteen thousand one or nineteen thousand, the estimate
was fifty thousand private sector jobs coming in at ninety
seven thousand, the estimate was fifty factory jobs. We saw
a loss of six thousand government jobs. Again of twenty
two thousand. Average work week all private workers thirty four

(14:49):
point two hours. Average hourly earnings annually up three point
eight percent, a little bit better than expected.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes, yes, we haven't investments coming, people are getting hired,
things are getting better. We think things are going to
ramp up. This is what the American people need to hear,
the normies need to hear. Let's stick with that, and
let's take whatever this messaging is and let's fly over.
I understand there's a huge volcanic explosion right now in Indonesia.

(15:20):
Let's take this messaging and put it on a single
piece of paper, and let's take a flight over to
Indonesia and fly right over the top of the active volcano,
and let's drop this messaging in there and never think
about it ever again. This messaging Indonesia.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
H one B visa thing will not be a big
priority for your administration, because if you want to raise
wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with
tens of thousands or hundreds of age.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
And we also do have to bring in talent.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
When we got talent and familiar, we don't have talent people.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Now you don't have you don't have certain talents, and
you have to people have to learn. You can't take
people off an unapplied I can unemployment line and say
I'm gonna put you into a factory. We're going to
make missiles.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
We don't have the talent. Let's that needs to go
to Indonesia. That's right into the volcano headline. Gen Z
delaying home ownership and it's affecting other life decisions, life
decisions like getting married, having kids. The average age of
a homeowner continues to climb into the fifties. I just

(16:30):
saw another stat that said it's flirting with sixty years old.
I'm not at all blaming Donald Trump for that. All
I'm asking for is that the White House understand that
the midterms are coming. Twenty twenty eight is coming in
Normal people are struggling. They have seen prices go up,

(16:53):
they have seen their standard of living go down. The
jobs market is dreadful right now, especially for young college graduates.
Especially for them. The jobs market is bad. I saw
another statistic, well below half of college graduates have found

(17:13):
employment at this time. You know what that is. That's
not only an angry twenty five year old, that's an
angry set of parents who just dropped one hundred thousand
dollars on a college education. That's right, Chris, They're talking
to their friends. There is a large amount of dissatisfaction
with life right now, well beyond political issues that you

(17:35):
and I both care about, well beyond that kitchen table
issues are not landing well for Americans right now. When
Americans are sitting around with their neighbors, with their friends
at church, having dinner at night, they are not swapping
stories about how wonderful life is right now. They're complaining.
They're complaining about the cost of life, the jobs market.

(17:58):
And again, I'm not laying this at Trump's feet. I'm
not laying the market. I'm not laying all this stuff
at Trump's feet at all. I'm really genuinely not. But
just like I screamed about when Joe Biden was president,
you have got to be careful what you say to
people when people are down and out and not making it.

(18:18):
Joe Biden went with the line of the economy's great.
Your reporters just aren't reporting on it's that takes someone
who's already down and kicks dirt in their face. It
doesn't land well, does not land well, and Democrats got
creamed on that issue, creamed because it doesn't land well.
Don't tell people that have it good when they don't

(18:39):
feel like they have it good. Don't tell people they're
too stupid so we need another fifty thousand people from
India to come into the country. Don't tell people H
one b's are highly skilled because they're not. Those are
low skilled workers. And definitely, don't try to sell people
on the line that people who come over here on
a visa turn around and go back home because they

(19:01):
want to. The vast majority of illegals in this country
are visa overstays. They get here, they get established here,
and they never freaking leave. Now I will finally move on.
Let's do some emails next. You've probably heard the Relief
Factor commercials where someone says, who is spouse regarding his pain,
you don't understand it's gone well. Sharon told us that's

(19:23):
exactly how she feels. She says, Relief Factor has helped
me so much, I plan on taking it for the
rest of my life. I'm a walking testimonial. I'm a
walking testimonial as well. This stuff works. If your knee hurts,
if your back hurts, if your head hurts, your hand hurts,
your quad hurts. Try relief Factor one hundred percent drug free,

(19:45):
a daily supplement that builds up in your body and
soon you are pain free. The pain slowly gets turned
down and down and down, and you almost forget about it,
and then you look around one day and you realize
it's gone. Call one eight hundred the number four relief
or go to relief Factor dot com. A three week

(20:07):
quick start starts today for you. You are three weeks
away from being painfree relief Factor dot com. So it's
I'm gonna read you a story that's wonderful but also aggravating.
It's a story from the Associated Press. Remember the Associated
Press is a disgusting communist rag and has been for

(20:28):
a long time. The headline is migrants love how they
call them That thought they were in court for a
routine hearing. Instead it was a deportation trap. And they
even described Look, there's a bunch of stories then here's one.
I love this one. Nearby, a cubanman who had lived

(20:49):
in the United States for years stepped into stepped from
an elevator and into the courtroom where the government lawyer
was waiting for what the man thought was a routine hearing.
The man was doing what the law required and brought
along his wife, a legal resident, and their seven month
old infant. Oh. Then the lawyer quickly moved to have

(21:11):
the man's asylum claim dismissed, and the judge agreed, making
the man eligible for expedited removal. As he left the courtroom,
the man was swarm by plain clothes immigration agents who
had been surveilling him. A struggle ensued, and the wife's
shouts could be heard from the hallway as the lawyer
moved on to the next case. So, before I get

(21:35):
to the Trump portion of this, which is wonderful, actually
going to pay him a big fat compliment after ranting
and raving, it's aggravating beyond belief to me that our
court system, our media, and apparently the entire world just

(21:56):
thinks you should come here no matter what, and you
should be able to stay here. This is the whole
point of immigration. Hearings to decide whether or not you
can stay or have to go. But for so long
these hearings either didn't happen, or they would have a
hearing and just let them all stay. Now, the idea

(22:20):
that you would decide he has to go is just
horrifying to everybody in the country. Well not to you,
but horrifying to the media. Horrifying to the illegals who
are here. What what do you mean I have to leave?
You're supposed to let everyone stay. The sense of entitlement
everybody seems to have to reside in the United States

(22:40):
of America drives me up the freaking wall. Yes, you're
here illegally. No, your asylum claim is not valid. Goodbye.
That's how it's supposed to work. Boom hearing, Gone see you.
And another part of this right because they do deserve credit.
As I've discussed, they are building a deportation machine that

(23:04):
will take time, but they are working on it. Quote.
Over the past nine months, the Trump administration has fired
almost ninety immigration judges seen by Trump's allies as too lenient.
They are cleaning out the immigration court system of all

(23:25):
the filthy communists who are sitting there, who allow all
these people to come in and stay in. They are
building the deportation machine, and I want to applaud them
for it. And as I've mentioned, even though I'm going
to get frustrated from time to time as I just did,
as long as I see the deportation machine being built

(23:47):
and being used, the Trump administration is going to be
all right. In my book. I'm going to criticize when
I get mad. That's always going to happen. If you
don't like it, too bad, so sad, change a channel.
But as long as they are committed to getting these
foreigners end mass out of the country, I'm a supporter.
I am. We just have to we have to work

(24:08):
on some messaging things. When you get up and tell
people Americans are too stupid, we need more foreigners. That's bad,
all right, It's these some emails we have to clear
out some room. Tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday. Jesse, can
you explain how murders don't stop after guns are gone
in the UK and how stabbings and machetes Listen, Okay,

(24:31):
I know what he's saying. We were going off about
guns yesterday because we played that young communist woman who
was talking about giving up your guns, and in response,
whenever communists have tried to confiscate our guns here in America,
the right has attempted to argue in good faith with them.

(24:51):
Have you ever done this? You ever found yourself doing this?
I've done it. I'm not pointing fingers, meaning you start.
You start arguments like this, well, they have guns laws
in Chicago and they have all these murders. Clearly they
don't work. Or you say something like this guy said, well,
no that they ban guns in the UK, but now
people are just getting stabbed. Or you'll bring up logic,

(25:15):
you'll bring up facts. And you know why you do that,
because you think you're dealing with someone who shares your
value system, and you think you're dealing with someone who's
being honest about what they want and what they believe.
You think your liberal aunt Peggy, you think she actually

(25:36):
wants school shootings to stop, or that that's her motivation.
You think she actually wants people to stop being murdered,
or that that's her motivation. And if you just present
her with enough logic, enough black and white facts, that
schol realized what she wants actually doesn't help save the
kids or doesn't help make the country safe. And eventually,

(25:57):
if you use enough logic with her, she she'll get it.
The light will come on. Well, they have murders in
the UK, but you don't understand what you're dealing with.
She doesn't care about mass shootings. She doesn't get sad
when there's another classroom full of dead kids. She doesn't

(26:18):
get sad when she hears the murder statistics going up
in this city or that stayed across the country. She
does not sit in fret about this murder or that
thing or that thing. That is not her motivation at all.
She's very, very upset that the opponents of the revolution

(26:41):
are armed. That's her motivation. That's her motivation in you.
I don't care how many statistics you bring her on
guns or the band guns here or they ban guns there.
And it didn't work. No matter how many statistics you've
brought her. It's never worked, has it? Black and white? Fact?
It doesn't work, does it? You know why it doesn't

(27:02):
work because you're arguing with something she's not even really saying.
She's lying. She's a communist. Communists lie about everything at
all times. Just don't care about the mass shooting she
cares about you being able to stop her from sending
you to a goo leg for not getting your tenth
booster shot. That's what upsets her. The communist revolutionaries in

(27:23):
the United States of America, that'd be democrats, are fighting
a revolution to burn your country down. The thing they
have to have in order to complete this revolution, they
have to disarm their political opponents. Every communist who's ever
taken power has disarmed their political opponents first. For decades,

(27:44):
well over fifty years, democrats in this country have sought
to find a way to disarm you. And it's not
to stop murders. It's to stop you. That's what they're
interested in stopping you. And it's so hard to accept that.
And because we don't understand that motivation, because we accept

(28:04):
their lies at face value, we try to have an
argument with them using this logic or these facts. But
there's a reason it's never worked. I'll tell you something.
It's gonna blow you away. Your liberal aunt Peggy knows
gun laws don't work. She knows, she knows about the
murder numbers in Chicago and all the other she knows.

(28:27):
She gets it. She understands completely. Your liberal aunt Peggy
in the wake of the latest school shooting. She knows
that the gun that a new gun law wouldn't have
prevented him from getting it. You can bring all that
she knows. You're getting her motivation wrong. That's the problem.
You're correct in your arguments. What you're not understanding is

(28:50):
your opponent, liberal Aunt Peggy, wants to hurt you, or
she at least wants the freedom to hurt you. If
you don't do what you're told, your gun prevents her
from doing that. They will always be after your guns
for that reason and that reason alone. All right, now,

(29:10):
I want you to do something that's gonna make you
feel good. I want you to picture this, picture this moment.
It's Christmas morning. You're there with your fat, with your father,
your mother. They have this wee little gift, small. They
unwrap its from you and it's a it's a thumb drive.

(29:30):
What's on the thumb drive? You plug it into the
family television set and mom, Dad, they're watching their wedding
video that used to be on a VHS tape on
the big screen. I think that's gonna go over Christmas morning,
baby album. Those pictures on the thumb drive, that's what

(29:53):
Legacy Box does, and Legacy Box will get you your
thumb drive back by Christmis if you get it to
them soon. Tis the season. Their Black Friday special is
on now nine dollars a tape. We're talking hard copy pictures,

Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday. Remember you need to
get your ask doctor Jesse questions in for tomorrow Jesse

(31:42):
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Ask me anything. It's gonna
be fun as it always is, So we're gonna get
to what Sean Duffy had to say about air travel
and how people dress and stuff like that. But I
thought maybe it would be a good time to take
a little bit of a break, just a little brief break,
because I realized we have all these new stations and

(32:06):
new ears, new listeners, and we're on Serious XM now
on the Megan Kelly channel, which is amazing. So we
just we're the show's growing, which is really weird. I
have no idea what's wrong with you? Why don't you
have any anyway, The show's growing And I got this email,
and honestly, it made me laugh. Dear Emperor of Robes,
my wife and I used the Jesse promo code to
officially become Pure talk users for life. You weren't kidding.

(32:29):
It was so easy and nice to talk to them
and sign up nice. I love that now that we
are Pure talkers. My sound request is you telling your
son's dead fish story again? That always makes me cry laughing.
You can say my wife's in her or him and
his wife's name Heidi and Brad. All right, So here

(32:49):
it is. I've told this story a few times before.
When my boys were younger. I do not remember the
ages they were. I would guess we're talking four and six,
five and seven somewhere somewhere in there. They were younger,
they wanted a pet terribly, like boys do. My oldest son, James,

(33:14):
at that time, had a pet hair allergy. He's kind
of over it, he has it a little bit, but
he had a pet hair allergy where it hives and
make his eyes swell up. Nothing horrible, but you're not
gonna get a dog. So we decided we were going
to get them fish. We were going to get them fish.
They each got a fish. Betas is what they were called.

(33:36):
And the just looked like goldfish to me. But they
were betas. We get them fish at the pet store.
They're very excited. They had to name their fish. Okay,
they had to name their fish. They choose well. My
youngest Luke, he wanted to name his fish butt snake,

(33:58):
because boys are insanely immature in anything that has the
word butt in it, they find hilarious. Bob and I
expressly forbid him from naming his fish butt snake. So
instead he named his fish Buttery. That is an important
part of the story to remember. Buttery is the name
of the fish. All right, Buttery, that's the name. Now

(34:21):
fast forward my oldest son, who actually took great care
of his fish. It died on him in three weeks.
All right, that's the way life goes. We've all had
to bury a dog, bury a cat. That's way goes.
My youngest son who had buttery, Luke, he never took
care of his fish. He always forgot to feed it.
I think that fish ate like once a week, and

(34:42):
the dagcon thing would not die. It was like rasputant.
We were waiting. Bob and I were dying for the
fish to die. We wanted the fish to die because
we actually had a trip coming up. We were going
back to back to Ohio for Christmas. That's where her
family is, actually lots of my family. We were going
back there for Chris. Was time, and we didn't want
to have to pay somebody to come over to the

(35:02):
house and feed the stupid frigging fish that the kid
doesn't even care about. But the dag gone fish won't die.
He doesn't care about it, he doesn't feed it. And
this thing is a warrior. Okay. I was selling our
v's at the time, and I could not take that
much time off of work because you got to sell
to eat. It's a ball of mine. I had to
pay bills. Bob is leaving before me with the kids

(35:27):
a couple of days before me, and we talk and
we decide, hey, once I leave. Now, Ob and I
had this discussion together. Once she leaves, I'm gonna flush
the to the fish down the toilet. I'm just we'll
tell him he died. I'm gonna flush the fish down

(35:47):
the toilet. Bob agrees to this. Okay, she takes off,
I flushed the fish right before I take off. I
gave him another couple of days. I even fed him,
and then I sent him out to the ocean or
wherever those pipes I don't know. I watched finding nemo.
Flushed him down the toilet. No big deal. Go back
to Ohio for Christmas, come back home. We are home

(36:09):
for twenty four to forty eight hours. And that's an
important thing to understand too. It's not like he went
running in the house looking for his fish. He finally
notices his fish is gone. He says, where's my fish?
And I said, buddy, I flushed him down the toilet.
The fish is gone. I just gave it to him
right between the eyes. He's looking at me, and he

(36:33):
sees AB looking at him. She's very clearly trying to
decide how's he going to handle this. He takes a
long time, and then he starts breaking down, crying, crying.
She immediately starts glaring at me as if it's all
my fault. He runs and jumps into her arms and
starts sobbing on her chest. She's glaring daggers at me

(36:57):
from across the room, and I said, up, he's lying.
This is a put on, he's manipulating you, And he
stops for a second. She can't see him, and kind
of gives me this look that he's afraid because he
knows I found him out. But then he goes back
to crying louder. He actually turns the volume up, and
she said, no, he loved that fish. And I said, really, hey, Luke,

(37:23):
what was the fish's name? He freezes again in fear,
and his mind starts churning. I ask him again, Luke,
what was the fish's name? And he's sobbing, fake sobbing,
and he goes swimmy. He didn't even know the name

(37:45):
of the fish that I flushed down the toilet. He
cried so hard in her chest. We were at pet
Smart that day, buying them a lizard that was a
bearded dragon, which a again they didn't take care of,
so we had to give it away eventually to somebody
who actually wanted to feed it and take it out

(38:06):
of the thing and whatnot? What Chris, when am I on? Now? No,
it's just Fred, No, there's nothing else. There's just oh
and James has a snake here. But James is the
responsible one. James takes care of his snake, he takes
it out, he feeds it, he cleans it up. James
is fine, swimmy. So that's the story of the fish. Okay,

(38:27):
I flushed the fish down the toilet. All right there,
and I'm happy that you're happy with pure Talk. Remember this,
Remember pure Talk has a special right now that I
have never ever seen before. Please remember this. Twenty nine
ninety five. I think, don't quote me on this. I
think that plan is normally something like sixty dollars a month.

(38:48):
Twenty nine to ninety five. It's sixty five dollars a month.
Chris thinks it's sixty five dollars a month, twenty nine
ninety five a month for life. It's their huge Black
Friday Christmas special they're doing. I've never seen it. They
didn't do it last year. Switch to pure Talk. Now's
the time. Dial pound two five zero in, say Jesse Kelly,

(39:10):
you will get to speak to a pleasant American because
pure Talk doesn't bring in legions of foreigners. They know
Americans are capable pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly,
all right, all right, so there's a couple of things
we're gonna go over.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
I'm going to get to some emails at some point
in time. But we're going to talk about these snap funds,
basically welfare. We're going to talk about the human trafficking
that was enabled by the Biden administration, astronauts, the people
fired in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, all that,
so much more coming up in the next hour. But first,

(39:47):
before we do that, we're going to talk about air
travel because Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation, said something hang
on
