Speaker 1 (00:05):
He's got the best head of hair and podcasting.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
This is America with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I have another photos that are being released of the
secretary as she is testifying from inside this room. Can
you please advise me as to whether or not that's
permissible and consistent with the rules, particularly given that we
have asked for public hearing. If there are photos that
are being released of the secretary she is testifying, can
you please explain how we've done.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
If you guys are doing that, I am done.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You can pull me a contempt from now until the
cows come home.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is just typical behavior.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh for Heaven's say to understand how that's permissible.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It doesn't matter. We all are abiding by the same rules. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, I would like to take a break.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Get this.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I'd like to.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Go off the record record. Welcome back, America.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I am Rich Valdez Valdez with thats happy to be
here with you and I with us. We have our guest.
Our guest is Jennifer Kelly. Some of us Norah's Jen
Kerns from back in the days. She was the spokesperson
for the California Republican Party. She's also the author of
the Real war on women. She's a Republican strategist and
really just always knows what's going on. She keeps her
(01:22):
ear to the ground. Host of the Jennifer Kelly Show
as well on radio all over the country. Jen Kelly,
welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thanks so much for having me rich.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You bet so.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I want to get into a couple of things with you. First,
Hillary Clinton, she's testifying not so much from her comfy
home in Chappaqua, but in Chappaqua on the less performing
arts centers. She had a nice little roundtable discussion and
they were doing it, I guess kind of by zoom
virtually or something like that, and things got interesting. She
(01:51):
started saying, hey, you've got to First of all, the
first thing she said that I thought was interesting was
she said, being somebody that's been so hard on on
sex trafficking since my days as first Lady of the
United States, I should be held to be a higher standard,
and so should the President and everything that he's done
in his cover up of the Epstein matters.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And she was just.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Slinging it all on Trump, and that was going all
good and well until a picture of her in the
deposition made its way around from Congressman Lauren Bolbert sent
to Bennie Johnson, and all hell broke loose after that.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Tell us more well, I thought it was so ironic,
rich that you mentioned she was doing her deposition from
the Performing Arts Center.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
This is the woman who has pretended and performed for
the last thirty five years and pretends to care about women,
when in fact, in her husband's own history she didn't
care too much about slandering and smearing Paula Jones, who
has later proven to be true in the settlement that
Bill Clinton did with her.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
And the list goes on and on, the Lewinsky scandal,
the Anita Broderick scandal. This woman in Hillary Clinton, has
been performing for the better part of thirty five years
pretending that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
She cares about women.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So I thought that was ironic.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, secondly, this claim that she makes.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
About President Trump, I mean, let the record show that
it was none other than the Jeffrey Epstein's survivor, Virginia Jeffrey,
who testified and stuck her neck out, and she was
actually asked specifically about Donald Trump, then citizen Donald Trump,
and she said that in her experience at mar A Lago,
(03:30):
where she was doing nannying duties for families around the
pool side at mar A Lago. She said that Donald
Trump was actually nothing but cordial, nothing but professional, never
crossed the line.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
In fact, asked her quite a bit about how.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
You make money in the babysitting business, which I thought
was kind of cute. You know, Donald Trump is this
grandpa guy, and he said, hey, if we can help
you out in anyway, let us know, we'll refer you.
We'll put you on the bulletin board at mar A Lago,
at this swimming pool.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And so look this woman j.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Jeffrey, who is now, by the way, no longer with us,
which is quite sad. If she wanted to say something
bad about Donald Trump, if there had been something bad
to say about Donald Trump, she would have said it
in that interview, because she literally was risking her life
to speak out against you know, Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew
(04:21):
and so many of the people that we now know
were actually involved in this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, no question, poor lady. And again there's a
lot of speculation around her death. Her you know, doing
all of this to commit suicide seemed very odd to
a lot of people that she made all these dare
devil types of actions. Now you mentioned Prince Andrew last
Thursday he was arrested. I was under the impression that
(04:45):
he was already kicked out of the Royal family. I
guess they had taken his title officially, but he's still
a part of the family. Now they're saying they might
actually take him out of the family.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
What do you know about that. I don't know much.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm not much of a royal, but I know that
you keep your ear to the ground on all things USA,
hoping that you're informed on the UK as well.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah, well sure, I think there's you know, at certain
levels of disownment in the Royal family, right, there's you know,
the stripping or the giving back of one's title. We
saw that with Princess Diana when she went on television
and the Royal Family thought that she had embarrassed not
only herself but also the Royal family in talking about
Prince Charles's cheating with Camilla Bowles at the time, and
(05:27):
so she was stripped of that hr H, her Royal
Highness title. So you could be stripped of title, you
can also be stripped of the money that comes in, right,
because it's very lucrative to be a part of the
Windsor family.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That comes with lots of trappings, that comes with you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Know, free rent, free mortgage at you know, Sandringham Palace
and some of the other places. And then I think
there is this third level, and it is a pretty
deep cut. But in the case of Prince Andrew, if
he is guilty of what many suspect that he's guilty of,
he probably does deserve that. And that's just completely ostracized
(06:02):
completely having other members of the royal family, you know,
pretty much not even acknowledge that you exist.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I think that's what's going to be happening here.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know, we haven't really heard from Sarah Ferguson aka Fergie.
It turns out she's gone to some spa wellness spa
to kind of hide out for a while. So it'd
be interesting how she can sort of rebuild her relationship
because apparently this couple was letting their two small daughters
hang around Epstein and I think that's a problem for
her public relations image for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, without a question, amigos, We're on with Jen Kelly.
Jen Kelly is the author of The Real War on Women.
You could check her out on the Jen Kelly show.
She is a former spokesperson for the California Republican Party,
and you know, Jen Kelly, this stuff I find so
interesting circling back to Hillary Clinton because there's such an
(06:56):
interest in this, and I understand, I don't mean to
minimize it, right, I think it's very interesting and it's important.
You're talking about human beings being trafficked for sex and
slavery and things like that.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Horrific.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just and I'm glad there's attention on it. I
just feel like the attention we're putting on it isn't
necessarily the attention that makes much of a difference. What
Hillary Clinton says or doesn't say. Isn't going to put
her in jail for telling James Comb or something, right,
It's just gonna let more.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
People get angry.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And Okay, that's fine if you want to fight a
pr war, if you're trying to correct the record somehow
swing public opinion, increase awareness, got it. But I feel like,
you know, I started this before you came on with
my monologue talking about there's a I feel that our
side of the aisle, conservatives are so are yearning for
(07:44):
true accountability, and I feel like there's a level of
accountability that we want that we may not truly be
able to attain.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
In this life.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And it just seems like it's an outsized portion of
accountability that we're looking for. And I don't know if
this is all right. Let me see if maybe we
give you a little Clinton under oath, maybe that'll satisfy you.
Here's your pound of flesh, But I don't think that's
quite a pound of flesh.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What's say you?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Well, I'll tackle the Hillary question first, but I think
you're right on the latter point, and I'll get to
that and how it really I think will affect the midterms.
But the Hillary deposition is actually, I think a huge victory.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Here's why.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
She is a lawyer herself, her husband is a lawyer herself.
They are surrounded by a team of lawyers, David Boyce
and all those folks institutional you know, gigantic lawyers.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Believe me, Hillary Clinton did.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Not want to be under deposition today, and I give
strong kudos to the Republicans in Congress for making sure.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That that happened. That would not have happened with the previous.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Big political win for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Big political win.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
And number two, the other reason she doesn't want to
be under oath is because I believe she may have
known about the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. You know, one
of her famous lines from today was, oh, well, I
knew Jeffrey Epstein, but I had no idea these things
were taking place.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, the photos we've actually seen.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
In Hillary Clinton, these weren't one of those things where oh, yes,
I was in a ballroom with him and there were
fifteen hundred other people around. No, she was a pool
side with Jeffrey Epstein and a cast of characters who
also have very serious allegations against them, from Stephen Hawking
to Bill Clinton himself and did Jeffrey Epstein himself and others,
(09:30):
And so you know, this was very uncomfortable for her.
And look, the thing that I think is the big
win she did have to get deposed because she's dealing
with now a Republican Congress that, thanks to Trump, actually
has a backbone and would have put her in jail
for contempt of Congress. And that I think is a
big game changer. To address your second point, yeah, we
(09:52):
do need more scalps on the wall. We just do
we need more wins. When I scroll through TikTok or.
I talk to my uncle in Texas. People who aren't
you inside the Boltway loop or inside media as we are,
they are boiling mad.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They want ilhan Omar in jail.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yes, they want her in jail for all this Minneapolis fraud.
They want people literally, they want the orange jumpsuit purp walk.
And you can't blame them because these are the American
taxpayer's dollars that have been defrauded here.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And so I think that is a very good point.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I do think that Donald Trump is going to have
to have two or three of those purp walks in
order to keep the base enthus right, because a midterm election,
which is coming up just six months from now. Midterm
election is about the enthusiasm of the base. It's not
like a presidential election every four years, where it's about
who's on MTV and who's popular and who's doing a
(10:49):
swing through you know, different states. This is something that
the base only gets their buns up off the couch
if they're excited about you and they're happy, and if
they're mad, which I think many of the people in
the base are. That nobody's going to jail over this.
You're going to have a hard time, and the Republican
turnout is going to be depressed in places where you
(11:11):
have twenty two seats that are up for grabs that
are really razor thin close.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I agree with that. Now, what do you think
about this? Because I mean, if I were Trump's lawyer,
I would say, what.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
About Latitia James? What about James? Call me. It's not
like we're not trying.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Look, it's where the rubber meets the road, right. So,
you know, President Trump, especially in twenty twenty four when
he campaigned for his second term, he promised that these
people are going to jail. That it wasn't just a
chance like it was back in twenty sixteen with Hillary
Clinton kind of a fun, funny locker up. This was actually, Hey,
(11:50):
the people who perpetrated the Russian collusion, you know scandal,
they need to be in jail. And President Trump promised
us that there are people who were going to.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Go to jail for that. Maybe James Colemy is one
of those. Also, you have the you know, the J
six incident.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We still haven't quite gotten to the bottom of it,
but it does appear, according to members of Congress, that
there were FBI agents that were goading people to go
into the building, and some of those people need to
be held accountable. And then of course the rampant fraud,
the people who are just ripping off the people of Minnesota,
the people of California, those people also need to be
(12:27):
put in jail, and not just see you know, I'm
not talking about the guy who was running the you know,
Somalian Learning center in Minneapolis. I'm talking about the institutional actors,
the people like Governor Tim Waltz who knew he couldn't
speak up because he was probably getting campaign funds from
the same people and the same community. Those people also
need to be held accountable. So I think you have
to have some strategic combination. Maybe one person from each
(12:52):
of those scandals really has to be facing some serious
jail time. Maybe they're not in jail yet, but maybe
they're going to trial, maybe they're going through the motions,
but those indictments. In my view, Rich, one to three
of those have to happen in order for Republicans to
stay enthused about the midterms.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't disagree with you, but I will say today
we went in the other direction. Zoron Mamdami meets with
President Trump in the White House and he comes home
with a terrorist sympathizer. He says, Hey, I need you
to release this girl, and boom, the girl gets released,
one of those Columbia agitators. It seems like it's going
against the grain in terms of accountability and people being
(13:32):
held to account. What do you think about that one?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, that's a tough one. Look.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
On the one hand, I know that President Trump, you know,
understands they are miles apart.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You know, conservatism and socialism could not be further apart.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
So on the one hand, I think he wants to
be tough on him. On the other hand, Trump recognizes
game and he understands that.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Zoron Mom Donnie one in a landslide.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Trump politically respects that about people, and so I think he's.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Can give him a chance.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
But much like he gave Gavin Neussim a chance back
in his first term in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, remember
he was, you know, saying, oh, I've been texting with
Gavin Newsom, He's a fine guy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All that stuff. I think he will end up getting
burned by the zoron Mom Donny thing.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
But in the end, Trump does have those final cards
that he will hold because he's got an awful lot
of federal funding that he can hold back, or even
if he gives it, then he can revoke that. You know,
I think he's giving zoron a little bit of a leash.
But yeah, that was a little perplexing today. It was
almost like a hostage swap, like what are we getting?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
What are we getting in exchange for this?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, I got a text from a buddy of mine.
I said, listen, take it easy, relaxed. This is just
an average prisoner exchange.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That's all this was.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
We just don't know what we got in return. All right,
we'll get out. You brought up Gavin Newsom, so we're
gonna go to him. But go and take a pause
right here, on migos, We're coming right back with Jen Kelly.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm like you, you've never seen me read a speech,
because I cannot read the speech.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Young black kids growing up in the Bronx.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Who don't even know what the word computers, they don't know,
they don't know these things.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Not everybody in the community.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I'm a Hispanic here in the African American community know.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
How to use know how to get online.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I mean you've got the first sort of mainstream African American. Yeah,
who is.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Articulate in bright and and clean and nicocing.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Guys take back our streets from crime, gangs and drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They are not just gangs of kids anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
They are often the kinds of kids that are called
super predatory.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
All right, how many there welcome back.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm Ego's Rich Valdesk keeping your company tonight and our
guest Jennifer Kelly. Jen Kelly keeps her ear to the ground.
She knows what's going on. She was the spokesperson for
the California Republican Party. She also served in the Schwarzenegger
administrate administration as an insurance commissioner. She knows exactly what's
going on and where those bodies are buried in California.
And I want to start with the video that we
(16:18):
just saw. We just saw a video of Rene composts.
This guy was found guilty and did time for child
sexual abuse material being in possession of it. He's a
registered sex offender. Now he's running for city council in Fresno.
Jen Kelly, I know you're one of the people that
left California because it got too crazy. But what is
(16:39):
up with the crazy in California?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I mean, just when you think California can't go crazier,
I mean, it's just like it's almost like falling off
into the ocean. And look, I've been saying that for
ten fifteen years, but this is pretty crazy even in Fresno.
Fresno is a pretty family values community, a Republican stronghold.
It's in the central Valley of California. It's a place
(17:03):
I've won actually a lot of elections. You really can't
win as a Republican statewide unless you can win in
places like Fresno, Modesto, Bakersfields. This is interesting, but look,
this is kind of where we've gone though. We are
now in this attention economy right where you know, we
used to say, ten to fifteen years ago in pr
there's no such thing as bad press, and then you
(17:24):
would kind of say, well, there are some exceptions to
that rule. Bad press is sometimes just bad. But now
we're in this attention economy where it doesn't matter if you're.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
A convicted felon or a child sex offender.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
If you have a million TikTok views, you actually might
have a chance to be the next Congress member from there,
and that I think is actually a bigger issue than
the political issue. I think that's a societal issue and
a cultural issue.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
And you know, with the rise.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Of Ai and TikTok and all these things, man, we're
sort of entering into the wild West. So could California
get crazier? Short answer, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Well, you know, to get tangential for a second. You
bring this up, and really it applies to our industry
and just quick sidebar with eyeballs, right, it's all about
eyeballs and the gatekeepers that once existed don't exist. The
necessity for certain networks that once existed doesn't really exist
as much as it once did. And you know, not
(18:20):
everybody can break the mold, but more and more are
doing it. And I see that as a positive from
a business standpoint and as a negative from the electoral standpoint,
where you know, you could make a case for positivity
there too, and you could say, hey, look, this guy's
convicted sex offender. If you're pro convicted sex offenders and
want them to have a second chance.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You know, I was joking yesterday with a mutual friend
of ours Professor Nick Jordano, and I was telling him
about this video I saw where the guy's filling out
petitions and he's trolling people, and he says, Hi, I
am filling out a petition to release so and so
from from jail. He was deported by IC. He's a
MS thirteen, he's got five bodies. But we believe in
(19:03):
second chances. And these people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure until he says, will you let him in your house?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
And then he said no, no, no, no, and.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
One lady actually yesterday said yes. And I feel like, Wow,
We're getting crazier and crazier when people are saying, yeah,
I'll house the guy who murdered five people and fled
his home country.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I'll put him in my house. That's the type of
crazy we're at.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Well in that petition, by the way, should be required
signing by every member of Congress who is actually going
to vote on things like border patrol, border security funding
for the Department's so my security.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So you just came up with a great idea there.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I thought it was so funny.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But yes, you will house them in your own personal home?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, we should have the members of Congress housing
them in their homes. But I find that to be
the case where we are, and I think Gavin Newston's
kind of like one of those people. He's a very
popular guy. I think his polish is attractive to certain people.
I can tell you I don't like a lot of
things he does policy wise. But he made a comment
recently and I think we might have a video of
(20:04):
it where he mentioned this comment and he says, yeah,
I'm just like you man, you know, talking to the interviewer.
And some people were saying that, you know, this was misunderstood.
It's like, I'm also black, I'm just like you because
the guy was black. I think he was trying to say,
you also have dyslexia. I don't know if the guy
did or not. I know I had some of that
growing up as a part of my ADHD and not fun.
(20:27):
Not fun, but half the time you don't even know
right until somebody tells you. But it made him normal
and even to a guy like me, and it's very
critical of him. I was like, oh, you too made up?
But yeah, look at that, right, what do you think?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Well, look, I think when it comes to Gavin Newsom,
there really are no mistakes. So this is a guy
I've known for twenty five years almost he's been in
politics thirty five years. And look, I think his slip
up there, I think that's truly how he feels.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I truly feel that when.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Democrats talk about quote unquote black and brown people, of
which my grandfather was one. My grandfather, as you know,
is Puerto Rican. You know, when Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom,
these white, white bred guys talk about black and brown people,
I just think it's just such talking down to the
Hispanic and Black communities. And so you know when he
(21:21):
says like, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, I'm as dumb as you black people, I think
Gavin Newsom actually means what he he slipped up to say.
This is a kid who grew up in Marin County.
If you think San Francisco is.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Rich, Marin County maybe is tied with Westchester County of
being the wealthiest county in America.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
This is a place where Gavin Newsom grew up.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yet his public tale that he tells in his new
book is oh, I grew up.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
With a poor working mother all this stuff. No he didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
He grew up with a very wealthy father who was
a judge, who was very much in the political scene
in San Francisco, and he really was considered one of
the surrogate sons of the Geeddy billionaire family. And so,
you know, he has sort of these you know, two views.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's almost schizophrenic.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
You know, I'm not a psychotherapist, but if I look
at Gavinussim, he definitely has these two tracks in his
mind where it's the one tale he wants you to believe,
all shucks, I'm just as dumb as you black and
brown people, and I'm just a poor you know, like
Steve Martin said in The Jerk, I'm just a.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Poor black man. But really, the reality on.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
The other side of that track is the real Gavinussom,
who was actually brought up with a pretty big silver
spoon in his mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I tend to believe that he's really good at what
he does. Like Zoron Mamdani, he's able to attract people
to his column. Whether there's people that don't like him
or see through it or not, there's still a lot
of people like, eh, I'll give him a shot. I
still think he's a viable candidate. A lot of people
saying no way, not. After he's set California on fire.
I was like, bro, find me a Democrat who hasn't
(22:57):
set California on fire and isn't openly you know, friendly
with Fidel Castro, and they all seem to be and
that doesn't harm them because those things are viewed as
virtue instead of vice in California. Do you agree that
he's a good contender for the next election for president?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh? Absolutely, one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
He's currently polling about twenty points ahead of AOC.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, if you flip on the MSNBC at night, you.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Was already inaugurated on MSNBC.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yes, yes, right, we.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Already got the white Women's suffrage ball gown. We're set,
We're good to go. But no, he's quite ahead of
her and the entire field, you know, even the Shapiro,
the governor of Pennsylvania, any others that they kind of
threw into this poll. The only person who's currently out
polling him right now is his arch rival. These these
two go back thirty five years. He and Kamala Harris
(23:50):
have been competing for the same political jobs for thirty
five years, dating back to their San Francisco days when
Gavin wanted to run for mayor of San since they say, oh, now, now, boy,
you're not quite ready, why don't you go run for
San Francisco County Supervisor. So he did, He grinned and
buried it, and then Kamala Harris got to run for
all sorts of fun things. And then when he ran
(24:11):
for mayor, she wanted to run for mayor, and they
made a deal where he would be mayor and she
would be district attorney.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
And that's how Prop eight came about.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
When they give out, you know, the marriage licenses against
the law and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
So these two have been kind.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Of doing this, like, to use a word from my
home state of Oklahoma, they've been doing this like political
docy dough where they have to kind of dance together,
but they're also behind the scenes kind of stamping each
other in the foot. But I don't think in the
end that Kamala Harris will end up running.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
The one reason why.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
So yeah, Well, I think I think it's too much
work for her, and.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I see her being a two time loser like Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yes, two time loser. The campaign trail is very grueling.
I just don't think she has it in her. I
think she would rather be like a political influencer in
the Democrat Party, like you know the way that Barack
Obama is, and I don't think in the end Kamalo
will want will run and then what that does. That
(25:11):
puts Gavin Newsom right in the pole position. And so look,
I agree with you. I think people way underestimate him.
I'll tell you I've gone up against him at the
ballot box for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm the only.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Press secretary still to this day, Republican or Democrat that's
ever beaten him at the ballot box. That was a
long time ago, in two thousand and eight, but we
were able to do it. But he hasn't really lost
since then. That was eighteen almost eighteen years ago. So
do not underestimate him.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, all right, Well talk to us about what's going
on with you. Where people can get a copy of
your book, The Real War on Women? How do they
check out your show? Give us the scoop?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Sure, they can go to the Jennifer kellyshow dot com.
You can listen to episodes, read read more about what
I've been up to. And I think we're going to
launch a kindle version of the book. And then I'm
working on my next two books, which is The War
on Children, which, in light of all the Jeffrey Epstein's stuff,
perfect Joamy just talks about how the Left has been,
you know, targeting our kids, from these ice school walkouts
(26:13):
to the transgender switches they're trying to do with kids.
And then the book after that is The War on Men.
As you know, men have been under attack, and you know,
men are responsible for so many of our wonderful institutions,
the construction of this country.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Look at the skyscrapers in New York City.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Those are all built by men. Wall Street built by men.
Corporate America. Whether you like it or not, sometimes it's
provided more opportunity and freedom for millions and millions of people,
not just in the States but around the world. And
those institutions were all created by men. There's a reason
the Left wants to take down men, because they want
to take down to all those institutions as well and
(26:50):
replace it with socialism.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So working on that, so that should be a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Sounds like a bestseller in the making. I want to
get a little bit of a tease from you on
the on the War on Children, because I was born
in Brooklyn, but I grew up in Hudson County, New Jersey,
and recently the good Senator Robert Menendez from New Jersey
who's now imprisoned, he gave up a Senate his Senate seat, obviously,
(27:16):
but before that he was the congressman for the thirteenth
district in New Jersey, and his son, Robert Menendez Junior,
is now the holder of that seat, as you would
have in New Jersey tradition, right, And he was out
there inciting these people, these young people, high schoolers at
the high school that I went to, north Berg and
(27:37):
High School. And I saw this on Instagram and him
and one other adult and a bunch of kids that
were like, hey, let's do a walk out. Find me
a kid that doesn't want to go to any walkout
for any purpose, right, So and they're like this is.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Our future and they're like yeah. I was like, they
just didn't want to go to school.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But these two adults, I think somebody used to hold
them responsible for brainwashing these or at least nothing else,
at least letting people know, look, we are brainwashing the kids.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Since you weren't, we decided to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But they come across as hey, these kids are organized
a walk out, so we just came here to support them.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Come on, come on, nobody's tyme no.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Look, you know, the basically the teachers' unions, and this
includes you know, the California Teachers Association, the largest teachers
union in the United States. I mean, these guys basically
exist just to indoctrinate your kids. That's what they're all about.
That first of all, they're for pay and benefits themselves.
And number two, they are there to make sure that
your kids leave those institutions completely detached from their parents
(28:40):
and completely brainwashed. And that's one of the reasons I've
done this whole series of books, The Real War on
Women to the War on Kids, War On Men, because
I was hearing from my focused group of moms across
the country. They're calling me saying, hey, we're getting clobbered
in the school drop off line by the mean girl
moms with their liberal yetti you know, tumblers, and they're
(29:01):
telling us orange Man bad and all this stuff. We
need some fact checks out here, help us out. And
so that's why I wrote the books, and I'm writing
more books on this because they're telling me that they're kids,
even the kids that go to Christian private schools that
they're paying twenty six thirty thousand dollars for. They say
their kids get into the car, they're crying because their
teacher just told them about climate change and animals are
(29:23):
dying and all these falsehoods which aren't happening, and how
Donald Trump's going to end the world and it's just
all lies. But it's happening, and it really is sort
of a form of child abuse, and.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We've got to stop it.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
And the only way to do that is to equip
our moms and our dads out there and say, hey,
when your kids get in the car, if you can't
yank him out of school and send them somewhere else,
which a lot of parents have already done, and it's
still happening, Well, then at least we're going to equip
you with the message points to be able to talk
to your kids and present them with the facts.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Tough time to be a parent of a young child.
I'm glad my kids are in their twenties. I don't
know what I would do. I'd probably be in some
sort of trouble for sure.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I can see you a little fistfied at a hockey
game or something.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeahs or on Biden's list of that he's a domestic
violent extremist, you know. Oh, man, Jen Kelly, thank you
for being here. I appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
God speak to you and it's a great conversation.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Likewise, and check out again. Give him the website for the.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Book, The Jennifer Kellyshow dot com. Or they can go
to the Real War on Women dot com.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
You heard it, the Real War on Women dot com.
I'm Rich Valdez coming right back.
He's got the best head of hair and podcasting.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
This is America with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I have another photos that are being released of the
secretary as she is testifying from inside this room. Can
you please advise me as to whether or not that's
permissible and consistent with the rules, particularly given that we
have asked for public hearing. If there are photos that
are being released of the secretary she is testifying, can
you please explain how we've done.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
If you guys are doing that, I am done.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You can pull me a contempt from now until the
cows come home.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is just typical behavior.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh for Heaven's say to understand how that's permissible.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It doesn't matter. We all are abiding by the same rules. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, I would like to take a break.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Get this.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I'd like to.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Go off the record record. Welcome back, America.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I am Rich Valdez Valdez with thats happy to be
here with you and I with us. We have our guest.
Our guest is Jennifer Kelly. Some of us Norah's Jen
Kerns from back in the days. She was the spokesperson
for the California Republican Party. She's also the author of
the Real war on women. She's a Republican strategist and
really just always knows what's going on. She keeps her
(01:22):
ear to the ground. Host of the Jennifer Kelly Show
as well on radio all over the country. Jen Kelly,
welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thanks so much for having me rich.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You bet so.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I want to get into a couple of things with you. First,
Hillary Clinton, she's testifying not so much from her comfy
home in Chappaqua, but in Chappaqua on the less performing
arts centers. She had a nice little roundtable discussion and
they were doing it, I guess kind of by zoom
virtually or something like that, and things got interesting. She
(01:51):
started saying, hey, you've got to First of all, the
first thing she said that I thought was interesting was
she said, being somebody that's been so hard on on
sex trafficking since my days as first Lady of the
United States, I should be held to be a higher standard,
and so should the President and everything that he's done
in his cover up of the Epstein matters.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And she was just.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Slinging it all on Trump, and that was going all
good and well until a picture of her in the
deposition made its way around from Congressman Lauren Bolbert sent
to Bennie Johnson, and all hell broke loose after that.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Tell us more well, I thought it was so ironic,
rich that you mentioned she was doing her deposition from
the Performing Arts Center.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
This is the woman who has pretended and performed for
the last thirty five years and pretends to care about women,
when in fact, in her husband's own history she didn't
care too much about slandering and smearing Paula Jones, who
has later proven to be true in the settlement that
Bill Clinton did with her.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
And the list goes on and on, the Lewinsky scandal,
the Anita Broderick scandal. This woman in Hillary Clinton, has
been performing for the better part of thirty five years
pretending that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
She cares about women.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So I thought that was ironic.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, secondly, this claim that she makes.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
About President Trump, I mean, let the record show that
it was none other than the Jeffrey Epstein's survivor, Virginia Jeffrey,
who testified and stuck her neck out, and she was
actually asked specifically about Donald Trump, then citizen Donald Trump,
and she said that in her experience at mar A Lago,
(03:30):
where she was doing nannying duties for families around the
pool side at mar A Lago. She said that Donald
Trump was actually nothing but cordial, nothing but professional, never
crossed the line.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
In fact, asked her quite a bit about how.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
You make money in the babysitting business, which I thought
was kind of cute. You know, Donald Trump is this
grandpa guy, and he said, hey, if we can help
you out in anyway, let us know, we'll refer you.
We'll put you on the bulletin board at mar A Lago,
at this swimming pool.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And so look this woman j.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Jeffrey, who is now, by the way, no longer with us,
which is quite sad. If she wanted to say something
bad about Donald Trump, if there had been something bad
to say about Donald Trump, she would have said it
in that interview, because she literally was risking her life
to speak out against you know, Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew
(04:21):
and so many of the people that we now know
were actually involved in this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, no question, poor lady. And again there's a
lot of speculation around her death. Her you know, doing
all of this to commit suicide seemed very odd to
a lot of people that she made all these dare
devil types of actions. Now you mentioned Prince Andrew last
Thursday he was arrested. I was under the impression that
(04:45):
he was already kicked out of the Royal family. I
guess they had taken his title officially, but he's still
a part of the family. Now they're saying they might
actually take him out of the family.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
What do you know about that. I don't know much.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm not much of a royal, but I know that
you keep your ear to the ground on all things USA,
hoping that you're informed on the UK as well.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah, well sure, I think there's you know, at certain
levels of disownment in the Royal family, right, there's you know,
the stripping or the giving back of one's title. We
saw that with Princess Diana when she went on television
and the Royal Family thought that she had embarrassed not
only herself but also the Royal family in talking about
Prince Charles's cheating with Camilla Bowles at the time, and
(05:27):
so she was stripped of that hr H, her Royal
Highness title. So you could be stripped of title, you
can also be stripped of the money that comes in, right,
because it's very lucrative to be a part of the
Windsor family.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That comes with lots of trappings, that comes with you.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Know, free rent, free mortgage at you know, Sandringham Palace
and some of the other places. And then I think
there is this third level, and it is a pretty
deep cut. But in the case of Prince Andrew, if
he is guilty of what many suspect that he's guilty of,
he probably does deserve that. And that's just completely ostracized
(06:02):
completely having other members of the royal family, you know,
pretty much not even acknowledge that you exist.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I think that's what's going to be happening here.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
You know, we haven't really heard from Sarah Ferguson aka Fergie.
It turns out she's gone to some spa wellness spa
to kind of hide out for a while. So it'd
be interesting how she can sort of rebuild her relationship
because apparently this couple was letting their two small daughters
hang around Epstein and I think that's a problem for
her public relations image for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, without a question, amigos, We're on with Jen Kelly.
Jen Kelly is the author of The Real War on Women.
You could check her out on the Jen Kelly show.
She is a former spokesperson for the California Republican Party,
and you know, Jen Kelly, this stuff I find so
interesting circling back to Hillary Clinton because there's such an
(06:56):
interest in this, and I understand, I don't mean to
minimize it, right, I think it's very interesting and it's important.
You're talking about human beings being trafficked for sex and
slavery and things like that.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Horrific.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I just and I'm glad there's attention on it. I
just feel like the attention we're putting on it isn't
necessarily the attention that makes much of a difference. What
Hillary Clinton says or doesn't say. Isn't going to put
her in jail for telling James Comb or something, right,
It's just gonna let more.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
People get angry.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And Okay, that's fine if you want to fight a
pr war, if you're trying to correct the record somehow
swing public opinion, increase awareness, got it. But I feel like,
you know, I started this before you came on with
my monologue talking about there's a I feel that our
side of the aisle, conservatives are so are yearning for
(07:44):
true accountability, and I feel like there's a level of
accountability that we want that we may not truly be
able to attain.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
In this life.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And it just seems like it's an outsized portion of
accountability that we're looking for. And I don't know if
this is all right. Let me see if maybe we
give you a little Clinton under oath, maybe that'll satisfy you.
Here's your pound of flesh, But I don't think that's
quite a pound of flesh.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What's say you?
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Well, I'll tackle the Hillary question first, but I think
you're right on the latter point, and I'll get to
that and how it really I think will affect the midterms.
But the Hillary deposition is actually, I think a huge victory.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Here's why.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
She is a lawyer herself, her husband is a lawyer herself.
They are surrounded by a team of lawyers, David Boyce
and all those folks institutional you know, gigantic lawyers.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Believe me, Hillary Clinton did.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Not want to be under deposition today, and I give
strong kudos to the Republicans in Congress for making sure.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That that happened. That would not have happened with the previous.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Big political win for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Big political win.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
And number two, the other reason she doesn't want to
be under oath is because I believe she may have
known about the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. You know, one
of her famous lines from today was, oh, well, I
knew Jeffrey Epstein, but I had no idea these things
were taking place.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, the photos we've actually seen.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
In Hillary Clinton, these weren't one of those things where oh, yes,
I was in a ballroom with him and there were
fifteen hundred other people around. No, she was a pool
side with Jeffrey Epstein and a cast of characters who
also have very serious allegations against them, from Stephen Hawking
to Bill Clinton himself and did Jeffrey Epstein himself and others,
(09:30):
And so you know, this was very uncomfortable for her.
And look, the thing that I think is the big
win she did have to get deposed because she's dealing
with now a Republican Congress that, thanks to Trump, actually
has a backbone and would have put her in jail
for contempt of Congress. And that I think is a
big game changer. To address your second point, yeah, we
(09:52):
do need more scalps on the wall. We just do
we need more wins. When I scroll through TikTok or.
I talk to my uncle in Texas. People who aren't
you inside the Boltway loop or inside media as we are,
they are boiling mad.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They want ilhan Omar in jail.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yes, they want her in jail for all this Minneapolis fraud.
They want people literally, they want the orange jumpsuit purp walk.
And you can't blame them because these are the American
taxpayer's dollars that have been defrauded here.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And so I think that is a very good point.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I do think that Donald Trump is going to have
to have two or three of those purp walks in
order to keep the base enthus right, because a midterm election,
which is coming up just six months from now. Midterm
election is about the enthusiasm of the base. It's not
like a presidential election every four years, where it's about
who's on MTV and who's popular and who's doing a
(10:49):
swing through you know, different states. This is something that
the base only gets their buns up off the couch
if they're excited about you and they're happy, and if
they're mad, which I think many of the people in
the base are. That nobody's going to jail over this.
You're going to have a hard time, and the Republican
turnout is going to be depressed in places where you
(11:11):
have twenty two seats that are up for grabs that
are really razor thin close.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I agree with that. Now, what do you think
about this? Because I mean, if I were Trump's lawyer,
I would say, what.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
About Latitia James? What about James? Call me. It's not
like we're not trying.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Look, it's where the rubber meets the road, right. So,
you know, President Trump, especially in twenty twenty four when
he campaigned for his second term, he promised that these
people are going to jail. That it wasn't just a
chance like it was back in twenty sixteen with Hillary
Clinton kind of a fun, funny locker up. This was actually, Hey,
(11:50):
the people who perpetrated the Russian collusion, you know scandal,
they need to be in jail. And President Trump promised
us that there are people who were going to.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Go to jail for that. Maybe James Colemy is one
of those. Also, you have the you know, the J
six incident.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
We still haven't quite gotten to the bottom of it,
but it does appear, according to members of Congress, that
there were FBI agents that were goading people to go
into the building, and some of those people need to
be held accountable. And then of course the rampant fraud,
the people who are just ripping off the people of Minnesota,
the people of California, those people also need to be
(12:27):
put in jail, and not just see you know, I'm
not talking about the guy who was running the you know,
Somalian Learning center in Minneapolis. I'm talking about the institutional actors,
the people like Governor Tim Waltz who knew he couldn't
speak up because he was probably getting campaign funds from
the same people and the same community. Those people also
need to be held accountable. So I think you have
to have some strategic combination. Maybe one person from each
(12:52):
of those scandals really has to be facing some serious
jail time. Maybe they're not in jail yet, but maybe
they're going to trial, maybe they're going through the motions,
but those indictments. In my view, Rich, one to three
of those have to happen in order for Republicans to
stay enthused about the midterms.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't disagree with you, but I will say today
we went in the other direction. Zoron Mamdami meets with
President Trump in the White House and he comes home
with a terrorist sympathizer. He says, Hey, I need you
to release this girl, and boom, the girl gets released,
one of those Columbia agitators. It seems like it's going
against the grain in terms of accountability and people being
(13:32):
held to account. What do you think about that one?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, that's a tough one. Look.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
On the one hand, I know that President Trump, you know,
understands they are miles apart.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You know, conservatism and socialism could not be further apart.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
So on the one hand, I think he wants to
be tough on him. On the other hand, Trump recognizes
game and he understands that.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Zoron Mom Donnie one in a landslide.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Trump politically respects that about people, and so I think he's.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Can give him a chance.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
But much like he gave Gavin Neussim a chance back
in his first term in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, remember
he was, you know, saying, oh, I've been texting with
Gavin Newsom, He's a fine guy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All that stuff. I think he will end up getting
burned by the zoron Mom Donny thing.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
But in the end, Trump does have those final cards
that he will hold because he's got an awful lot
of federal funding that he can hold back, or even
if he gives it, then he can revoke that. You know,
I think he's giving zoron a little bit of a leash.
But yeah, that was a little perplexing today. It was
almost like a hostage swap, like what are we getting?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
What are we getting in exchange for this?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, I got a text from a buddy of mine.
I said, listen, take it easy, relaxed. This is just
an average prisoner exchange.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That's all this was.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
We just don't know what we got in return. All right,
we'll get out. You brought up Gavin Newsom, so we're
gonna go to him. But go and take a pause
right here, on migos, We're coming right back with Jen Kelly.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm like you, you've never seen me read a speech,
because I cannot read the speech.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Young black kids growing up in the Bronx.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Who don't even know what the word computers, they don't know,
they don't know these things.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Not everybody in the community.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I'm a Hispanic here in the African American community know.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
How to use know how to get online.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I mean you've got the first sort of mainstream African American. Yeah,
who is.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Articulate in bright and and clean and nicocing.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Guys take back our streets from crime, gangs and drugs.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
They are not just gangs of kids anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
They are often the kinds of kids that are called
super predatory.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
All right, how many there welcome back.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm Ego's Rich Valdesk keeping your company tonight and our
guest Jennifer Kelly. Jen Kelly keeps her ear to the ground.
She knows what's going on. She was the spokesperson for
the California Republican Party. She also served in the Schwarzenegger
administrate administration as an insurance commissioner. She knows exactly what's
going on and where those bodies are buried in California.
And I want to start with the video that we
(16:18):
just saw. We just saw a video of Rene composts.
This guy was found guilty and did time for child
sexual abuse material being in possession of it. He's a
registered sex offender. Now he's running for city council in Fresno.
Jen Kelly, I know you're one of the people that
left California because it got too crazy. But what is
(16:39):
up with the crazy in California?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I mean, just when you think California can't go crazier,
I mean, it's just like it's almost like falling off
into the ocean. And look, I've been saying that for
ten fifteen years, but this is pretty crazy even in Fresno.
Fresno is a pretty family values community, a Republican stronghold.
It's in the central Valley of California. It's a place
(17:03):
I've won actually a lot of elections. You really can't
win as a Republican statewide unless you can win in
places like Fresno, Modesto, Bakersfields. This is interesting, but look,
this is kind of where we've gone though. We are
now in this attention economy right where you know, we
used to say, ten to fifteen years ago in pr
there's no such thing as bad press, and then you
(17:24):
would kind of say, well, there are some exceptions to
that rule. Bad press is sometimes just bad. But now
we're in this attention economy where it doesn't matter if you're.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
A convicted felon or a child sex offender.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
If you have a million TikTok views, you actually might
have a chance to be the next Congress member from there,
and that I think is actually a bigger issue than
the political issue. I think that's a societal issue and
a cultural issue.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
And you know, with the rise.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Of Ai and TikTok and all these things, man, we're
sort of entering into the wild West. So could California
get crazier? Short answer, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Well, you know, to get tangential for a second. You
bring this up, and really it applies to our industry
and just quick sidebar with eyeballs, right, it's all about
eyeballs and the gatekeepers that once existed don't exist. The
necessity for certain networks that once existed doesn't really exist
as much as it once did. And you know, not
(18:20):
everybody can break the mold, but more and more are
doing it. And I see that as a positive from
a business standpoint and as a negative from the electoral standpoint,
where you know, you could make a case for positivity
there too, and you could say, hey, look, this guy's
convicted sex offender. If you're pro convicted sex offenders and
want them to have a second chance.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You know, I was joking yesterday with a mutual friend
of ours Professor Nick Jordano, and I was telling him
about this video I saw where the guy's filling out
petitions and he's trolling people, and he says, Hi, I
am filling out a petition to release so and so
from from jail. He was deported by IC. He's a
MS thirteen, he's got five bodies. But we believe in
(19:03):
second chances. And these people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure until he says, will you let him in your house?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
And then he said no, no, no, no, and.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
One lady actually yesterday said yes. And I feel like, Wow,
We're getting crazier and crazier when people are saying, yeah,
I'll house the guy who murdered five people and fled
his home country.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I'll put him in my house. That's the type of
crazy we're at.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Well in that petition, by the way, should be required
signing by every member of Congress who is actually going
to vote on things like border patrol, border security funding
for the Department's so my security.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
So you just came up with a great idea there.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I thought it was so funny.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But yes, you will house them in your own personal home?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, we should have the members of Congress housing
them in their homes. But I find that to be
the case where we are, and I think Gavin Newston's
kind of like one of those people. He's a very
popular guy. I think his polish is attractive to certain people.
I can tell you I don't like a lot of
things he does policy wise. But he made a comment
recently and I think we might have a video of
(20:04):
it where he mentioned this comment and he says, yeah,
I'm just like you man, you know, talking to the interviewer.
And some people were saying that, you know, this was misunderstood.
It's like, I'm also black, I'm just like you because
the guy was black. I think he was trying to say,
you also have dyslexia. I don't know if the guy
did or not. I know I had some of that
growing up as a part of my ADHD and not fun.
(20:27):
Not fun, but half the time you don't even know
right until somebody tells you. But it made him normal
and even to a guy like me, and it's very
critical of him. I was like, oh, you too made up?
But yeah, look at that, right, what do you think?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Well, look, I think when it comes to Gavin Newsom,
there really are no mistakes. So this is a guy
I've known for twenty five years almost he's been in
politics thirty five years. And look, I think his slip
up there, I think that's truly how he feels.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I truly feel that when.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Democrats talk about quote unquote black and brown people, of
which my grandfather was one. My grandfather, as you know,
is Puerto Rican. You know, when Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom,
these white, white bred guys talk about black and brown people,
I just think it's just such talking down to the
Hispanic and Black communities. And so you know when he
(21:21):
says like, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, I'm as dumb as you black people, I think
Gavin Newsom actually means what he he slipped up to say.
This is a kid who grew up in Marin County.
If you think San Francisco is.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Rich, Marin County maybe is tied with Westchester County of
being the wealthiest county in America.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
This is a place where Gavin Newsom grew up.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Yet his public tale that he tells in his new
book is oh, I grew up.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
With a poor working mother all this stuff. No he didn't.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
He grew up with a very wealthy father who was
a judge, who was very much in the political scene
in San Francisco, and he really was considered one of
the surrogate sons of the Geeddy billionaire family. And so,
you know, he has sort of these you know, two views.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's almost schizophrenic.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
You know, I'm not a psychotherapist, but if I look
at Gavinussim, he definitely has these two tracks in his
mind where it's the one tale he wants you to believe,
all shucks, I'm just as dumb as you black and
brown people, and I'm just a poor you know, like
Steve Martin said in The Jerk, I'm just a.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Poor black man. But really, the reality on.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
The other side of that track is the real Gavinussom,
who was actually brought up with a pretty big silver
spoon in his mouth.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I tend to believe that he's really good at what
he does. Like Zoron Mamdani, he's able to attract people
to his column. Whether there's people that don't like him
or see through it or not, there's still a lot
of people like, eh, I'll give him a shot. I
still think he's a viable candidate. A lot of people
saying no way, not. After he's set California on fire.
I was like, bro, find me a Democrat who hasn't
(22:57):
set California on fire and isn't openly you know, friendly
with Fidel Castro, and they all seem to be and
that doesn't harm them because those things are viewed as
virtue instead of vice in California. Do you agree that
he's a good contender for the next election for president?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh? Absolutely, one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
He's currently polling about twenty points ahead of AOC.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, if you flip on the MSNBC at night, you.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Was already inaugurated on MSNBC.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yes, yes, right, we.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Already got the white Women's suffrage ball gown. We're set,
We're good to go. But no, he's quite ahead of
her and the entire field, you know, even the Shapiro,
the governor of Pennsylvania, any others that they kind of
threw into this poll. The only person who's currently out
polling him right now is his arch rival. These these
two go back thirty five years. He and Kamala Harris
(23:50):
have been competing for the same political jobs for thirty
five years, dating back to their San Francisco days when
Gavin wanted to run for mayor of San since they say, oh, now, now, boy,
you're not quite ready, why don't you go run for
San Francisco County Supervisor. So he did, He grinned and
buried it, and then Kamala Harris got to run for
all sorts of fun things. And then when he ran
(24:11):
for mayor, she wanted to run for mayor, and they
made a deal where he would be mayor and she
would be district attorney.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
And that's how Prop eight came about.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
When they give out, you know, the marriage licenses against
the law and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
So these two have been kind.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Of doing this, like, to use a word from my
home state of Oklahoma, they've been doing this like political
docy dough where they have to kind of dance together,
but they're also behind the scenes kind of stamping each
other in the foot. But I don't think in the
end that Kamala Harris will end up running.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
The one reason why.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
So yeah, Well, I think I think it's too much
work for her, and.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I see her being a two time loser like Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yes, two time loser. The campaign trail is very grueling.
I just don't think she has it in her. I
think she would rather be like a political influencer in
the Democrat Party, like you know the way that Barack
Obama is, and I don't think in the end Kamalo
will want will run and then what that does. That
(25:11):
puts Gavin Newsom right in the pole position. And so look,
I agree with you. I think people way underestimate him.
I'll tell you I've gone up against him at the
ballot box for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm the only.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Press secretary still to this day, Republican or Democrat that's
ever beaten him at the ballot box. That was a
long time ago, in two thousand and eight, but we
were able to do it. But he hasn't really lost
since then. That was eighteen almost eighteen years ago. So
do not underestimate him.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, all right, Well talk to us about what's going
on with you. Where people can get a copy of
your book, The Real War on Women? How do they
check out your show? Give us the scoop?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Sure, they can go to the Jennifer kellyshow dot com.
You can listen to episodes, read read more about what
I've been up to. And I think we're going to
launch a kindle version of the book. And then I'm
working on my next two books, which is The War
on Children, which, in light of all the Jeffrey Epstein's stuff,
perfect Joamy just talks about how the Left has been,
you know, targeting our kids, from these ice school walkouts
(26:13):
to the transgender switches they're trying to do with kids.
And then the book after that is The War on Men.
As you know, men have been under attack, and you know,
men are responsible for so many of our wonderful institutions,
the construction of this country.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Look at the skyscrapers in New York City.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Those are all built by men. Wall Street built by men.
Corporate America. Whether you like it or not, sometimes it's
provided more opportunity and freedom for millions and millions of people,
not just in the States but around the world. And
those institutions were all created by men. There's a reason
the Left wants to take down men, because they want
to take down to all those institutions as well and
(26:50):
replace it with socialism.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So working on that, so that should be a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Sounds like a bestseller in the making. I want to
get a little bit of a tease from you on
the on the War on Children, because I was born
in Brooklyn, but I grew up in Hudson County, New Jersey,
and recently the good Senator Robert Menendez from New Jersey
who's now imprisoned, he gave up a Senate his Senate seat, obviously,
(27:16):
but before that he was the congressman for the thirteenth
district in New Jersey, and his son, Robert Menendez Junior,
is now the holder of that seat, as you would
have in New Jersey tradition, right, And he was out
there inciting these people, these young people, high schoolers at
the high school that I went to, north Berg and
(27:37):
High School. And I saw this on Instagram and him
and one other adult and a bunch of kids that
were like, hey, let's do a walk out. Find me
a kid that doesn't want to go to any walkout
for any purpose, right, So and they're like this is.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Our future and they're like yeah. I was like, they
just didn't want to go to school.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But these two adults, I think somebody used to hold
them responsible for brainwashing these or at least nothing else,
at least letting people know, look, we are brainwashing the kids.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Since you weren't, we decided to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But they come across as hey, these kids are organized
a walk out, so we just came here to support them.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Come on, come on, nobody's tyme no.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Look, you know, the basically the teachers' unions, and this
includes you know, the California Teachers Association, the largest teachers
union in the United States. I mean, these guys basically
exist just to indoctrinate your kids. That's what they're all about.
That first of all, they're for pay and benefits themselves.
And number two, they are there to make sure that
your kids leave those institutions completely detached from their parents
(28:40):
and completely brainwashed. And that's one of the reasons I've
done this whole series of books, The Real War on
Women to the War on Kids, War On Men, because
I was hearing from my focused group of moms across
the country. They're calling me saying, hey, we're getting clobbered
in the school drop off line by the mean girl
moms with their liberal yetti you know, tumblers, and they're
(29:01):
telling us orange Man bad and all this stuff. We
need some fact checks out here, help us out. And
so that's why I wrote the books, and I'm writing
more books on this because they're telling me that they're kids,
even the kids that go to Christian private schools that
they're paying twenty six thirty thousand dollars for. They say
their kids get into the car, they're crying because their
teacher just told them about climate change and animals are
(29:23):
dying and all these falsehoods which aren't happening, and how
Donald Trump's going to end the world and it's just
all lies. But it's happening, and it really is sort
of a form of child abuse, and.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We've got to stop it.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
And the only way to do that is to equip
our moms and our dads out there and say, hey,
when your kids get in the car, if you can't
yank him out of school and send them somewhere else,
which a lot of parents have already done, and it's
still happening, Well, then at least we're going to equip
you with the message points to be able to talk
to your kids and present them with the facts.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Tough time to be a parent of a young child.
I'm glad my kids are in their twenties. I don't
know what I would do. I'd probably be in some
sort of trouble for sure.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
I can see you a little fistfied at a hockey
game or something.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeahs or on Biden's list of that he's a domestic
violent extremist, you know. Oh, man, Jen Kelly, thank you
for being here. I appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
