Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is that Jesse Kelly show on a wonderful, fantastic Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Member.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
If you missed any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. Chris grab
that Tim Kaine audio from yesterday, so we've got a
question about it here, Hey, Jesse. After Tim Kain's anti
God comments about our inalienable rights, will religious leaders finally

(00:26):
condemn the Marxist Democrats for being the party of Satan
and evil? Thanks again for leading the fight for our side. Well,
there is a mentality that has seeped into Western civilization
over time, years and years and years and years and years,

(00:49):
and this mentality is well, for one, let's rewind a
little bit. We always saw ourselves from the inception of
this country, the United States of America, we saw ourselves
as being better, indifferent, and not better in a snobby
way necessarily, although I guess you could look at it

(01:09):
that way. But our founders, the people who founded this country,
not just the founding fathers, the people who came over
here established a country, saw themselves as a people as
different than how other countries around the world had always operated.
They just saw themselves that way, and from way back.

(01:31):
You know that they would look at the Romans and
they had admiration for a lot of things the Romans did.
But that whole conquering everyone around you think, no, no,
we're better than that. Now, that's funny because we were
busy conquering North America. But it doesn't matter. We were
always twisted up about that. I know, your stupid history
teacher told you otherwise, But America was always twisted up

(01:55):
and always having a moral fight with itself about what
to do with the Indians. What do we do?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Is it right?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Do we just take it? Do we leave them have it?
That was a constant fight, a constant fight here because
we saw ourselves as better most countries, most countries historically
would have just said get out or we'll kill all
of you. And by the way, there's no reservations. Either
you assimilate or will cut your freaking head off. That's

(02:20):
how most countries have handled it. Not America. Well, no,
hold on, we still have reservations so this day. That's
how we always saw ourselves better and different. We don't
do things like other people do things. We're different. Now.
That can be good, obviously, and it also, like many

(02:42):
good things it can be twisted into something that's terrible.
That's bad America when it comes to Christianity. No matter
your belief system, America has been a haven for Christian
people unlike anything the world has ever seen before. You
could just practice openly here. I've told you before at

(03:06):
the Founding that the Founding, the different colonies we had,
they were actually different branches of the church, and oftentimes
they fought with each other all the time, the Quakers
and the Purits and that, like this state had these
people and that state had those people, and that they
were but it was allowed here. No, no, no, no, no.
You worship how you want to worship. You're free to

(03:27):
worship here. This is a safe place. Build your church,
go worship now. Safety is good, isn't it. I want
to be safe. Don't you want to be safe? You
want your family to be safe. It's good. But you
know when I first got back from Iraq, you know

(03:49):
how absurdly observant I was in every single social setting.
I would stand with my back to the wall, no
matter what I was doing. If I could be at
the mall, i could be at a sports bar. My
eyes are open and I'm looking around and I'm assessing
people at all times absurdly observant. Fast forward twenty years later,

(04:15):
I'm not a fraction as a observant as I was now.
Don't get me wrong. I try to be eyes open,
try to sit with my back to the door, but
not a fraction as observant as I was now. Why
the difference Because I had just come from a place
where a bunch of people were trying to kill me.
Now I've lived for twenty years and they're not trying

(04:36):
to kill me anymore. It breeds complacency and softness. I'm
going to take the boys out obs gone. I'm taking
the boys out for dinner after the show tonight. We're
going to go get a pizza or something, go get
some kind of late night dinner tonight. Am I going
to individually observe every single person in the pizza joint

(04:58):
and see is that guy that does he look crazy?
Is this guy getting drunk and violent? Does this guy
look like you? Am I going to do that? Probably not,
because it's been safe. Because I've been safe. That same
thing happened to American Christians, American Christianity and Jews. To

(05:19):
be honest with you, Chris, I don't think you people
got out of this either. Same thing has happened. It's
been a safe place, a place where you can worship
without fear. There are places. I remember a story a
couple of years back, a bunch of Christians were beaten
to death on the way to church in Egypt. They
knew they were going to church. They just gathered around

(05:39):
and with sticks and beat them all to death. Places
all over Africa to this day where Christians are being genocided.
If you were to talk to those people about America's
las fair live and let live turn the other cheak Christianity,
they would laugh in your freaking face. Slipped into our

(06:01):
churches here because it's been safe and easy to be
a Christian here. No one's gonna persecute you, not until
the Biden administration, at least, no one's gonna persecute you.
No one's gonna beat you to death, no one's gonna end.
It's bred softness. And so now you have pastors who
don't even think they're doing anything wrong. They'll sit up there, Oh,

(06:23):
we don't need to be political. We're not gonna talk
about a Look, we don't want to talk about gay marriage.
Let's not offend anybody. No, we're not gonna bring up abortion, immigration.
Jesus would want everyone here, you know, who speaks like that,
a soft, weak, pathetic human being who has lived a

(06:45):
very safe existence his entire life. There's not a single
church in some god forsaken backwater in Africa who's about
to be hacked with a machete, who would ever speak
like that. America's feminized Christianity has bred this kind of complacency. Chris.

(07:05):
Play this again from Tim Kin. The United States of
America in the year twenty twenty five has one of
its two major political parties that has declared open war
on the Christian Church.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
come from the government, but come from the Creator. That's
what the Iranian government believes. It's a theocratic regime that
bases its rule on Shiah law and targetsunies behinds, Jews, Christians,
and other religious minorities. And they do it because they

(07:39):
believe that they understand what natural rights are from their creator.
So the statement that our rights do not come from
our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's troubling to Tim Kane that you would ever ever
seek out a power higher than him. He views himself
as your God, your king, your ultimate ruler, and anyone
anyone you look to who you put above Tim Kine.

(08:15):
He considers that to be an enemy. He considers that
to be a threat to his rule, a threat to
his kingship, a threat to his very existence. Why do
you think why do you think they sent FBI agents
into the church. Why do you think the Communists did that?
What a weird thing to do, right, That's not something

(08:37):
you do. Why do they do that? Why do you
think these tranny shooters? Why do you think it's Christian
and Catholic schools that keep getting shot up all the time.
What do you think that is? They know who their
enemy is, they know it, they have declared it, and

(08:59):
they fight it as if it's their entire existence. They
are already fighting a war. They're already fighting it, and
you don't get a say, neither do I. I don't want,
I don't feel like and want. We don't want any
guns here. It wouldn't be right. You heard me go

(09:19):
off about this when those Jews had that animal in
Colorado throw Molotov cocktails on him. Think he burned some
old woman to death, didn't he, Chris, I think she
passed away, Yes she did. And I went off about
this and you can call it insensitive. How in the
world is a group of Jews ever gathering without armed,
without being armed, the most persecuted people in the history

(09:42):
of the world. And you think you can just gather
without arms. No, no, start making swords and start acting
like you're at war because you are. The Communists decided it,
you didn't. Let's move on from that, talk about everything
from Stalin. Someone wants to talk Stalin. Someone wants to
know how I ended up in Houston. Someone wants to

(10:05):
know what China's military parade? Are we going to fight them?
And what my favorite baseball team is? All that and
so much more still to come. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Friday, and ask doctor
Jesse Friday. So now let us begin with some other things.

(10:27):
Jesse Stalin was a Stalinist, not a Communist. His stated
goal was national expansion in all directions. Communism was just
a fist he you did used to clear away forward,
so on and so forth. Thing anyway, all the best
to you and yours. This person was not in any way,
you know, criticizing. They were just saying Stalin was a

(10:50):
Stalinist and not a Communist. And I wanted to talk
about this because it's important we understand something that we
try to talk about a lot on the show, the
difference between elite communists and street communists, because there is
a huge difference. We have to understand elite communists. When

(11:11):
I talk about that, I'm talking about politicians, virtually every Democrat,
people in the media, people in Hollywood, these people who
are powerful, wealthy, famous, These people, for the most part,
are not committed communists. They are not people who have

(11:36):
read Karl Marx, who are who who believe passionately about
all the different parts of communist filth. They are people
who are interested in money and power. They're interested in
money and power, getting more of it for themselves. That
is their main interest. They choose to pretend to be

(12:00):
communists because for a lot of people, depending on the situation,
that's the easiest route to money and power. If you
were let's go to the Bronx, that's where AOC represents.
Let's set aside your morals for a moment, set aside
your morality for a moment. Let's say you wanted money

(12:24):
in power and that was your driving force in life.
That's your driving force, that's what you care about. Now,
what's the best way to get that? If you're in
the bronx and maybe you are right now listening to
me on seven to ten WR, what's the best way
to get that? Politics? It's the easiest way, I should note. Granted,

(12:47):
you could always go to school and try to find
a way to be wealthy. I said, go to school,
but start your own business. Find a way to be
independently wealthy in that way. But even that, it may
make you wealthy, but won't necessarily make you powerful. If
you want money and power, and more importantly, to a
lot of these people, fame, you have got to put
yourself in the political game. Now you're in the bronx,

(13:09):
something crazy like eighty percent Democrat? Are you gonna You're
gonna run on being a Second Amendment person? Hey, I'm
pro life, low taxes, I believe in God. How are
you going to run? No, you better sell communism. The
people around you, the voters in your area, are filthy,

(13:32):
dirty communists. And so if in your search for money
and power, that's what you're going to have to sell. Now,
let's say you brought up Stalin in the in Russia,
it was Russia before it was the Soviet Union. In Russia,
the Tsars had ruled for three hundred years. Roughly, they'd

(13:54):
ruled for three hundred years. The people were sick of it.
The people hated them. They were tired of a lot
of things, tired of the conditions of the country, tired
of the war. It was World War One, tied to this,
tied to that, tired of this, tire to that, and
people begin to rise up and fight against it. Now,
if you're a person seeking money, in power and fame,

(14:17):
and you're in Russia at the time, and you can
look out and see, I think the days of Czars
might be numbered. I think these Bolsheviks, I think they're
gonna end up winning. Whose side are you going to join?
If you have no morality against it? Whose side are

(14:39):
you going to join? Elite communists are rarely, rarely committed believers.
We love to It's a very common thing on the
right to point out hypocrisy of somebody like John Carry
or Bill Gates. They're always trying to take away fossil fuels,
they call them fossil fuels, of trying to take away

(15:01):
fossil fuels and take away your suv. And cow farts
are evil, and then we'll point out, hey, he was
just needing a tenderloin on a private jet. What a hypocrite.
He doesn't believe in any of that stuff. He doesn't
believe in any of that stuff. Even Bill Gates doesn't
believe in any of that stuff. He believes in acquiring

(15:24):
more money and more power, and by selling a belief
in that stuff, he is able to acquire more money
and more power. Elite communists are always just people interested
in themselves. They're not ideological, They're just people interested in

(15:45):
money in power. They are the ones you should truly
truly hate. And honestly, I know we don't like street communists,
all the feminists and Black Lives Matter types and those
types Antifa and whatnot. I don't like them either, But
most of those people were just idiots, confused, usually had
a bad upbringing of some kind, drugs, mental health issues.

(16:12):
The true believers of communism, the people outgluing themselves to
monette paintings and things like that, they honestly in the
back of your head. They should receive some mercy and grace.
Is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Fantastic Friday. Remember

(16:32):
you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
I'm sorry, I know I played it like five times
last night. I have to play it again. It's one
of my favorite sound bites of all times. It's like
a minute long. James Carvill is so exasperated by the
insanity going on in the Democrat Party because he wants
them to win elections and he sees them continually committing

(16:55):
political suicide. He's just so angry and desperate. He's stuttering, helling.
Here he was. Here, he was after they dragged some
Indian chick out at the d n C to do
a land acknowledgement that we're on stolen land. Here's how James,
why are you bringing us up in an election?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Okay, what we did with all kinds of things, with
with slavery, would experiment with drugs, what we did during
what happened in the Confederacy during the Civil War Andersonville.
And this is an election and the d n C
is not the place to discuss this. Understand this The

(17:37):
DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn't exist
to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history. It doesn't
exist to make people feel good. It exists get just
through ahead to win elections. Now do you think that
is going to help us win elections? Talking about lamb

(18:01):
theft from the Dakotas We're not. Please stop this in
the name of a just merciful God. Don't you see
what's happening. Don't you see where this has brought us to?
For god sakes, lady, if what is Ken Martin doing
doing that? Yo, you don't happen. One job Ken is

(18:24):
to win. You're supposed to try to win for elections.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
He's so mad, he's so exasperated. Please stop this in
the name of a just merciful gud.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Please stop this in the name of a just merciful gut.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
All right, Sorry, it's Friday and I'm in a great mood.
By the way, would you like to know the bracket
the country's involved in our Crappiest Countries in the World.
It's the twenty twenty five Crappiest Country in the World competition.

(19:10):
I'm going to give you the opening round matchups Monday,
will just be for one matchup, but the opening round matchups.
First round, Zimbabwe takes on North Korea, Rwanda takes on Bangladesh.
South Sudan takes on France. That could be an upset.

(19:34):
Haiti takes on Yemen. God only knows who wins that,
Niger takes on Somalia. I mean, flip a coin, Sudan
versus the Congo, Pakistan versus India. This this is one
that could have been the championship, but there's nothing I

(19:56):
can do about it. They're meeting in the first round
and now they're going to have to work it out.
And finally, Afghanistan takes on Italy. We'll see who wins.
But that's Monday. It begins the tournament of tournaments. Now
let's get back to some serious matters, Dear Jesse Jetbelly.

(20:17):
China's recent military parade was pretty impressive. Do you think
we will ever go to war with China? And what
do you think it would look like? Okay, so, first
of all, when it comes to military parades, we touched
on a little bit of this earlier about what the
communist does well. We have to acknowledge when our enemy
does something well and oftentimes we have to copy it.

(20:39):
The communist organizes well, he gathers groups of people well,
he understands. Remember this. He always approaches things as if
he is out of power, as if he has no power,
because it's a revolutionary religion, and that's how it began.
They were out of power, and so communists to this

(21:01):
day we call them democrats. Communists to this day approach
everything as if they're out of power. Now, if you
don't have actual power, physical power, you oftentimes need numbers
and you need violence, but we'll set that aside aside
for now. You need numbers, you need a group. If

(21:23):
there is the UFC heavyweight champion of the world and
he's standing out in front of your house and he says,
I'm gonna come in, and let's say you don't have
a gun, I'm gonna come in, and I'm gonna I'm
gonna beat up your wife, and you're not gonna be
able to stop him. You and probably two buddies aren't
going to be able to stop him. What do you
need numbers? You you need ten friends. Then you'll be

(21:45):
able to get him, probably be able to get him numbers.
The communist is excellent at organizing groups, in mobilizing groups
for any cause. He's very, very good at it. All
has been very good at it. It's essential. It's part
of their doctrine. They are trained go get people organized. Now,

(22:09):
expand that to a country that ends up being governed
by communists like China does. Do you remember? Do you
remember when China hosted the Olympics. I think it was
a summer Olympics. And I'm not a huge Olympics person,
I'll be honest with you, so I don't remember. It
wasn't that long ago, ten probably less than twenty years ago.

(22:29):
China organized they were hosting the Olympics and the opening ceremony.
I know because ob loves the Olympics. We always have
to watch the opening ceremony. It was jaw dropping and honestly,
I know it's an Olympics opening ceremony. It was a

(22:52):
little bit intimidating how in sync they were the production.
It was a wow factor. Yeah you Chris remembers it.
Chris remembers it. If you don't remember it, go look
at I guarantee it's on YouTube or something like that.
Go look it up. This is a long way of
saying China is always going to do a good military parade.

(23:17):
Because the communist organizes well, groups people up well, and
their complete lack of respect for human dignity, lack of
respect for the citizen, it actually helps them with things
like opening ceremonies in parades. Oh you dropped your baton.

(23:38):
I guess we'll shoot your mother in the head. That
kind of thing motivates people. It's not ideal, like you
don't want to live in a country like that. I
don't want to live in a country like that, but
it is an effective way to motivate people. Communists are
herd animals, and they learn to move as a herd
where the herd is going, your liberal aunt Peggy goes,

(23:58):
and that herd mentality it makes it easier for elite
communists to organize things like parades and to organize things
like social movements. Communists organized better than the right does
because we are more naturally individuals individuals. I hate people

(24:21):
telling me what to do, almost to probably all the
way to a childish extent. You've heard me do it
on the radio before. If somebody emails me and tells
me to stop talking about something or don't do something,
I'll dedicate an entire segment to it. Yeah yet, or
if someone tells me to talk about something, you won't

(24:41):
talk about this. I'll never talk about it again. You
don't get to tell me what to do. Ever, that
is a very common mentality to some extent on the right.
I don't want to be told what to do, and
I like that we have that. I don't want to
be a herd animal, and I don't want you to
be a herd animal. You think for yourself, but we

(25:02):
struggle to organize. Oftentimes because of it, we don't group
as well. China is always going to put on a
fancy military parade, but always keep in mind, if you
have to put a little smiling face on all this,
all that fancy looking military hardware, it was made in China.

(25:22):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Friday,
and ask doctor Jesse Friday going through all of your questions.
It's been a great show, it's been a great week.
Put a smile on your face. Remember, if you miss
any part of the show, you can download at iHeart
Spotify iTunes. Now back to the other part of the question,

(25:45):
do I think we will ever go to war with China.
What do I think that would look like. You know,
there's a thing you see this sometimes in nature where animals,
even if they fight, they won't take it too far,
and they won't take it too far because if they

(26:09):
take it too far, it can mean the death of
both of them. Look, I'm gonna use some examples here,
and there are exceptions on it. But two grizzlies squaring off,
two male grizzlies, they're gonna square off to own the
females in that territory. It's mating season. It's very calm,
you know, Lions, tigers, bears, they all do this thing.

(26:30):
The males fight to earn the right to the females.
We don't have to go in any more depth than that.
You get what I'm saying. And don't get me wrong,
they do die on occasion. On occasion, they die. But
if you've ever dug into this or watched stuff on it,
I love that stuff. I grew up watching that stuff
with my dad. If you ever watch it, they fight,

(26:52):
and it's loud and it's mean, and they bleed, someone
gets an ear torn off, someone might even lose an eye.
But but these gigantic, super powerful creatures full of claws
and teeth and muscle and everything else. At some point
in time they stop, They stop and they walk away.

(27:15):
You know what. That's it? Now? These are animals whose
aren't human beings. Why because if those two bears take
it too far. Let's say one of them gets his
jaw damaged, that bear's going to die.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
There's no doctor, there's no er. Let's say his paw
gets severely damaged, maybe even bitten off or halfway off.
That bear is probably going to die now, will not
be able to track down hunt food enough so that
understanding keeps them from taking it too far. Lots of

(28:00):
the time. I know there are plenty of exceptions. They
do die on occasion. I get that, But that understanding,
that's the reason. Are we ever going to go to
war with China? Some would say it's inevitable, and I'm
not going to argue if you say that, maybe it
is inevitable. China believes they're in competition with us, and
we know we're in competition with them too. There's a competition.

(28:24):
It's fairly open competition. But especially in the nuclear age,
these gigantic superpowers, they're much more hesitant to go to
war with each other, because there's an understanding that an

(28:44):
actual hot war, now, when you have world ending weapons,
an actual hot war now it's probably impossible to win
for anybody if even if you're the one who comes
out on top in the end. Let's say we get

(29:06):
into some god forbid hot war with China, and let's
say it's a five year thing, and on the back
end it's the Chinese coming to Washington, d C. To
sign over a piece agreement in America. You win. What
does the United States of America look like at that
point in time with the missile capability technology EMPs. I'm

(29:32):
not so sure that that's an inevitability. I think that
there will be regional skirmishes that maybe you know, Taiwan.
China's not kidding about Taiwan, but I could see it
be regional. A big hot war with China, it can't
be one, and then that's that's that goes for countries

(29:56):
that aren't near as powerful as US, like Russia. We
can consider Russia to be a superpower, and of course
they are a superpower, but Russia can't sniff US militarily
and economically. Russia's economy is the size of Texas' economy.
You know that Texas's economy. They're not a pimple on

(30:18):
our behind when it comes to economics. But even a
hot war with Russia, who actually wants it. They have
the most nuclear weapons of any country on the planet.
Even if we if we fought one in one, or
even if god forbid, they fought one in one, what
does Russia look like at the end of that. It's

(30:40):
all a bunch of smoldering ruin. I know, you know,
nuclear weapons are terrible and all that, but in a
way they do bring about peace. In a way they do.
A certain level of peace comes with the fact that hey,
I've got this weapon right here, don't make me pull
out mine. I know you'll pull out yours. It's it
brings peace with it. Jesse, I see ex Yankee, Mark

(31:03):
tech Shia. I think I'll tell you, said tech Shira Techsarra,
Mark techs Era running for Congress in Texas and knowing
you were a Giants fan, who's your favorite Major League
Baseball team? Well, I was a Giants fan. I don't
watch the NFL anymore. I'm not watching that crap with
all the end racism in the end zone and stuff.

(31:24):
But I get it that you don't. There's no judgment here.
I miss it. I do so when it comes to
professional sports, I have discovered something as I go through life,
and everyone hates me for this, and you're about to
hate me for this too. What's with loyalty? Listen, Chris,

(31:49):
I moved to Houston, and I'll go over that story
here in a minute. I moved to Houston. I've never
lived in a city that had a professional baseball team.
This is eight nine years ago. The Astros were good.
We started going to Astros games. They were into playoffs.
I decided I like this team. I'm an Astros fan now,

(32:12):
lifelong fan. What Chris? What Chris said? It doesn't feel
as good when you just acquire a new team, No, Chris,
it feels great when you bragg to your friends about
how my team is better than your team and your

(32:32):
team sucks. And I acquired the Houston Astros as my
favorite team man eight nine years ago whenever we moved here,
because they were good, and now that's my team. I
grew up a Chicago White Sox fan of all things.
Don't ask why, because I don't remember. I knew I
liked Frank Thomas. He was my favorite player, but that's

(32:53):
the reason why

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
