Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday. And we have
already had a good time today, So let's dig into
this doozy. Dear Jesse, you often say how you hate
Obama far more than despicable Joe Biden. Could you do

(00:33):
me a favor and go on a rant about why
this is the case? Yes, all right, so let's do
this first. Let's do a little analogy first, as we
do from time to time on the show. I want
you to picture your favorite sports team, all right, you
know what, We'll make it about the New York Giants,
even though I don't watch the NFL anymore, but that

(00:54):
was my team forever, the New York Giants. Okay, so
let's assume your team's the Giants, or whoever your team is.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Just picture your team. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
There are two different scenarios. In scenario A, there's a
new owner of the Giants. A new owner. He's a
terrible person. We'll call him Chris. Chris buys the New
York Giants. Only Chris hates the New York Giants and

(01:25):
he's very very very shrewd. And so after he buys
the New York Giants, what Chris does, just a random
person named Chris. What Chris does is he begins to
put people and systems into place that will cause the
Giants to lose. When he's out there hiring new scout,

(01:48):
he fires the entire scouting department and he fills it
up with people who know nothing about football at all.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Hey, you're the new scouts.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
He fires all the strength and conditioning guy. He brings
in a bunch of tubby wads of goo who don't
know anything about lifting weights, or sprints or anything else. Personnel,
the secretary, you name it. Because he hates the New
York Giants. He is putting systems in place that will
prevent the Giants from winning for years and years and

(02:18):
years and years. That's scenario A. Let's go to scenario B.
The people who own the Giants, they love the Giants,
the fans love the Giants. Everyone loves the Giants. But
they hire a bad coach. The coach is just a moron,
and the coach blows game after game after game. He's

(02:39):
running running plays when it's third down and twenty five
blowing all his timeouts.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
He can't. He doesn't know what he's.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Doing out there, screws everything up so badly the Giants go,
oh and sixteen. Now you tell me scenario A or
scenario B. Which one of those scenarios is worse for
the New York Giants, Well, obviously A. I can't stand

(03:07):
Joe Biden. Joe Biden is not only on a personal level,
a jerk and has been a jerk to pretty much
everyone for the entirety of his career. We're talking this
is a human being. Up until just a little bit ago,
refuse to even acknowledge the grandchild his son had with
a stripper. They wouldn't even hanger a stocking over the

(03:30):
fireplace of the White House. That's how despicable these people are.
So I can't stand Joe Biden, and Joe Biden because
he's not a functional adult, handed his government over to
a bunch of dirty communists who have destroyed everything they
could get their hands on. Joe Biden has done so

(03:50):
much damage, but Barack Obama. Barack Obama is the author
of so much of what you see now because Barack
Obama has been taught to despise America from his earliest days.
There are endless writings about it. His mentor in life

(04:12):
is Frank Marshall Davis.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Look him up.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
When I say he's a card carrying communist, I mean
he had a Communist card with a number on it,
an America hating communist with an axe to grind about America.
And those were all of Obama's influences in life. So
not only was he taught to hate America, he was very,

(04:36):
very charming and capable personally. And let me pause on this,
Do not send me an email say he wasn't charming.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I hate him. Learn what charm is. Evil?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Bad people can be charming all the time. Evil people
have charisma all over the place. I didn't say I
liked him. I freaking hated him. But he had that
ability to speak eloquently in a way that calm p
people's fears. So you combine the shrewdness and the hatred
of America, and what you got was, well, look, it's

(05:09):
not an accident that everything that's kind of coming apart
on us. It feels like, didn't it feel like somebody
hit the fast forward button? Right about two thousand and
eight when Obama got elected. Obama not only got elected
and assumed the office of the presidency, he very shrewdly,
I might point out, as a communist revolutionary, He very

(05:32):
shrewdly packed the federal government full of people who shared
his hatred of this country. And so many of them
remain at their post this day, to this day. You know,
I'll give him credit. He understood how to remake a
government in his image in a way no Republican in
my lifetime ever has. Barack Obama was canning a new

(05:56):
general in the military every fifteen minutes. Now the military
at Fort Bragg, they're holding seminars on potential terrorist groups
with right to life pro life groups sitting at the
top of it. How does that happen? Barack Obama made
sure it happened.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
There was none of this.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Hey, great general this, and great general that. Barack Obama
looked at the generals, he found the most patriotic ones,
destroyed their careers, tossed them in the trash can, and
found a way to promote flag officers who would, in
the very least allow him to gut the country the
way he wanted to. And they remain at their post
to this day, very very very capable man, and remember

(06:41):
all the stories are coming out and that well, here
it is.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
This is the latest some CNN course of this week.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
As we hang on, I'll start that again, since Chris
didn't have the soundboard.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
On, we are learning tonight that throughout the course of
this week, as we've seen the public words from former
Speaker at Nancy Pelosi, we're learning that she has had
in private Congress station earlier this week with former President
Barack Obama. They have talked about this matter. Would you
not know exactly the contents of that private conversation? Isaaca
Devera and I talk to many Democrats who are looking

(07:14):
to Pelosi and Obama to sort of find a way
out of this infighting and crisis that has dominated the
Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Let me ask you something, former presidents. You've been alive
for many of them, former presidents? How many former presidents remained.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Extremely politically involved? How many?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
How many can you name? I'm thinking off the top
of my head right now. Let's see the former presidents
I've had in my lifetime. Bill Clinton, George W.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Bush.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Those are two big ones. Let's just stick with those two,
because that's really the bulk of my lifetime. Bill Clinton,
George W.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Bush.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Oh, I know Bill Clinton will show up at a
Democrat convention and give a speech once every few years.
Is Bill Clinton super involved in politics?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Still?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, you never really hear from him. You never hear
about him. He got the office of the presidency. He's
corrupt because he's at Clinton. He rode off into the
sunset with millions and millions of dollars and now he
just enjoys life as a former president.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
George W.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Bush, same thing. President in the United States of America
for eight years. How much do you hear today from
George W.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Bush.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Sure, he'll be at this conference every now and then,
maybe give a speech every now and then. He's not
politically involved. He's not running super packs. He's not super
politically involved at all. He's a former president. I'm a president.
I got my presidential library, I got my money, I
got my fame, I got my place in history. I retire.

(08:54):
Barack Obama hasn't been president for a long long time,
and yet Barack Obama is still intimately involved in every
single part of the Democrat Party. Why do you think
that is? Because for Barack Obama, unlike all those other presidents,

(09:18):
it was about so much more than just etching your
name and history stone and getting your presidential library and
doing it was about so much more to him. Barack Obama,
because he's a communist, has been a man on a
mission for the entirety of his life, and that mission

(09:39):
is to punish this evil country who he freaking hates.
And Barack Obama has not set aside those dreams just
because he's rich and famous.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Now, oh, I get it.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
They have their mansions, they party on Oprah's yacht, they
bounce around the world. He does a lot of things,
a lot of that good former president life that you
get to live. And yet Barack Obama, as we speak,
as you're listening to the sound of my voice, that
man's on the phone, that man's in meetings, that man's
doing this, organizing that. Because that man his mission is

(10:14):
not accomplished yet. That is why I despise Obama more
than Joe Biden, really more than any president in the
history of this country. That's why we've had good ones
and bad ones. We've never had one like that.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Never.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
All Right, enough of that, let's do let's do some
non political things for a moment, and then we'll get
back to all this nastiness. Now, let's talk about chalk.
You see, part of the reason I'm so hot on
this stuff is testosterone is one of those really uncomfortable
subjects people don't want to talk about, and when you

(10:48):
bring it up, people start to cringe about it. Who
wants to talk about testosterone levels? But what kind of
a society can we hope to have when testosterone levels
are half of what they were fifty years ago and
dropping still? They're not just half of what they were,
they're dropping. We're going down and down and down. We
can't have a country in that way. There will be
nothing left to preserve if men are slow, weak, stupid, illogical.

(11:13):
It doesn't work that way. So we have to fix
that crisis. Well, everyone realized it was a crisis, So
what do they do? Started opening up clinics where you
go get needles jammed into your arm. Do you think
that's good for you? How about natural herbal supplements? A
natural way forward? Twenty percent increase in your T levels

(11:34):
in ninety days. Go get tested before and after. Don't
take my word for it, go check it out. The
difference you will feel in your life is amazing. And

Speaker 2 (12:11):
And I'm having.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
This little little good Jesse versus bad Jesse argument with
myself right now. You see, you know I love my sons.
I talk about them enough. You obviously know I love
my sons. I don't pretend to be a good father,
but I do love those two meatheads. But they left
for the weekend. They're gone. They went to the grandparents' house.

(12:36):
They're gonna go hunting and shooting and fishing and rafting
and doing all the things boys love to do. They
can't wait. Okay, And I do miss them, I do,
But no kids all weekend long sounds pretty good to me.
And I don't know why does that make me a
bad person? There are any There aren't any sports tournaments

(13:00):
have to go at ten for nineteen hours a day. What, Chris,
you know what, Chris, that's not very that's not very nice.
Jewish producer Chris just said, all you're gonna do is
watch documentaries for two or three days. Actually, for your information,
I made the offer today to take the wife out.
They have these line dancing classes here in what Chris

(13:22):
don't make fun of me, and she was reluctant. She
said that it's like dancing with a grizzly bear. So
I'm not I'll be honest. I'm not a dancer. I
can't the Kelly's look. We are what we are. We're
construction people. We don't sing, dance, draw, we don't play
musical instruments. We have no artistic ability whatsoever. But I

(13:45):
like to sweeper off her feet. The problem is I
will actually physically sweeper off her feet by accident, probably
once or twice. Anyway, I don't think the line dancing
thing's gonna happen, but that's her loss.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Let's get back to the ask doctor Jesse questions. I'm
not sure sure if I'm supposed to feel guilty.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
But I'm looking forward to my weekend. I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Dear Jesse.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
I have friends who are felons, and many of which
want to join wanted to join the arms armed forces
before they got into legal trouble. Felons are not allowed
to serve, and I was wondering what your thoughts are
on this. If someone wants to be able to serve
our wonderful country, why shouldn't they be able to Well,
this is it's a complicated answer, and I'm sure I'm

(14:27):
actually gonna create a lot of enemies when I say
a couple things here.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
But here's what I believe.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I tend to be on the extreme when it comes
to things like punishment, but not in a way that
you necessarily would expect. I do believe in extremely vicious,
hard punishment for certain types of crimes. Look, if you
harm children, if you harm women, if that's what you do.

(14:58):
I'm actually a huge believer in bringing back penal colonies
where they'll find a tropical island and they'll drop you
off with a toothbrush and wish you luck. And I'm
not even close to kidding about that. These people need
to be removed from society in a permanent way so
they can never do anything to harm the innocent. Again,
So I am very, very extreme and harsh when it

(15:20):
comes to that. In these really horrible cases where there
was a torture and abuse of a child or a woman.
I'm a big believer in fast tracking these people through
the judicial system and then capital punishment. I'm talking gallows,
leave them hanging there for the weekend. That I am
a very, very extreme person when it comes to women

(15:42):
and kids. But now I probably have you agreeing with
me on this. You may push back on, but it's
what I believe. I'm also a huge believer in redemption,
a huge believer in rehabilitation. In redemption, there are people
in prisons, state and federal, all across this country that, yes,

(16:03):
have done bad things, criminal things, and they're in prison.
I believe in rehabbing these people, in bringing these people
back into society with a clean slate once punishment has
been served. When that when it comes to the military,
you know, that used to be a thing kind of

(16:23):
back in the day. It was back in my dad's time.
He used to tell me about it. It used to
be a thing. It depended on the crime. But you
stand before a judge and you screwed up, you committed
some crime, and the judge should tell you, okay, well
you got two years in the clink, or you can
go join the Marine Corps. And that they used to
force people that way into the Marine Corps. It was
it was say, you want to get rehabbed, you can

(16:45):
go do it in prison, you can do it in
the Marine Corps. I think that's a wonderful idea that
never should have gone away. And when people come out
of these prisons, and I know we have a bunch
of prisoners listening right now, which I've always loved, why
shouldn't Why shouldn't those men when they emerge from prison,
and if they've paid their debt to society, Again, depending
on the crime, I want to stress that, depending on

(17:06):
the crime, why shouldn't those men get an opportunity to
serve their country better themselves do wonderful things. There are
all kinds of people who've done time who've come out
of it the back end and wanted to perform and
change it. That's a fact. So why wouldn't we allow that.
I have huge disagreements with how we do a lot

(17:28):
of crime and punishment here. We aren't near harsh enough
with dirty pedophiles. And at the same time, we take
a guy he holds up a liquor store, maybe he
hurts somebody something like that when he's twenty years old, young, dumb,
drunk and stupid, and then his life's over over. He's

(17:48):
going to go away for twenty five years, no rehabilitation.
When he gets out, all he knows how to be
is a criminal, because that's all he's done for the
last twenty five years while he's inside trying to survive.
Gets out, he doesn't even know how to work in
civilized society. He's frozen out of the job market. We've
virtually guaranteed he's going to go right back to the
clink again, probably hurt someone else on purpose, just so

(18:10):
they'll send him back. You know, that's real. Guys do
that all the time.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
I hate that.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I'm a believer in redemption and I believe they should
be able to join. Well, obviously, again I want to
stress it depends on the crime, but I believe they
should be able to serve if they want to serve,
all right. I also believe in pure talk. I believe
if you smuggle a cell phone into prison to make
illegal phone calls, it should be on a pure talk phone.

(18:36):
What Chris, That way they won't drop the call. Pere
to what Chris, it's a five gen network. Pure Talk's
on the same five G network as the big guys.
So if you've smuggled a phone and you're hiding in
the prison yard trying to call your drug dealer, you
need to be on a Pure Talk photnom kidding, just
switch to Pure Talk, all right. Verizon AT and T

(18:57):
and T Mobile, they hate you, they do. These companies.
They run these ad campaigns that are so awful, targeting kids.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's awful.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
And every time I see one, because I've had Verizon
AT and T and T Mobile, every time I see one,
I still feel responsible because I know I funded it.
I paid my cell phone bill every month and I
funded it. Take ten minutes on the phone and switch
to Puretalk. Dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly.
That'll save you fifty percent off your first month pound

(19:31):
two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, switch to Puretalk.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
The Jesse Kelly Show, I like it returns next. It
is The Jesse Kelly Show. About to do a little
talk about running for office. Here in a minute, talking
to your neighbor. The whole putin Russia stuff. There's so
much we have to get to on the world famous
Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Before I get to any of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I just wanted to make fun of Jennifer Ruben here
for a moment. And yes we're gonna make fun of her.
She's a writer with the Washington Post. But this is
also revealing of the mentality we talk about a lot.
You know, it's a funny thing. If you're someone on
the right, whatever you consider yourself, anti communists, conservative, libertarian, nationalists,

(20:19):
whatever you consider yourself, you look at the media, you
look at the American media, and you're disgusted. You know,
they're apparatucks, they're biased, they're all these days. You understand
all that. But I'm gonna tell you something, and I
want you to believe me here, because it's true. You
know that Democrats, the communists, they look at the media

(20:42):
and they feel the exact same way you do.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
And this is where you'll.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Freak out and you say, what, how could they say
that they're all biased on behalf of Democrats. You don't understand.
You don't understand the mentality of destruction and domination the
communists has. If you look at the American media and
you say to yourself, they are ninety percent against me.

(21:08):
They're ninety percent with the left in ten percent with
the right, and that is wrong. It's unbalanced, it's biased,
it's unjust, and this is wrong. This has got to change.
You're correct in thinking that. But when the communist looks
at that, he actually agrees with you on your percentages,
and he's still upset about it. He looks at it

(21:29):
and he says, what, the media is only ninety percent
with us, how's it not one hundred?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
This isn't good enough.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
He believes in dominating every single thing. Listen to the
Washington Posts, Jennifer Rubin.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
The media and I include everyone in this has done
an abominable job of prioritizing what's important and what's not.
We are on the brink of going down the road
of a dictator leadership that is more important than anything else.
I know, it's attractive. You can say people have gotten

(22:07):
used to Trump. Why have they gotten used to Trump?
Because the press has gotten used to Trump because the
press does not cover his insanity when he's talking about
sharks and motor boats and cannibal. But why do we
have that imbalanced? Because the Trump you know phenomenon, They
got bored with him I'm sorry. Getting bored with something

(22:29):
is not the job of a free press in a
free country. Their job is to cover the most important
things so that citizens have the information they need to
make an informed choice.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Jennifer Ruben Communists like her. They look at the American
media and they say to themselves, why are they being
so easy on Donald Trump? It's insane. I know it's insane,
it's wrong, she's nuts, But it really is revealing more

(23:05):
than anything else about the mentality these people had to have.
That stupid analogy I've used a million times about the islands.
How if we were fighting a war with the communists
over one hundred islands and at the end of it
we won ninety nine and they had one, you'd be thrilled.
That's an overwhelming victory. Good for us, wooo. But if

(23:26):
they won ninety nine and we won one, they'd be disgusted, aggravated,
angry beyond belief. Remember, do you know any of the
history of Stalin or Trotsky? It will do just a
little brief thing on it. They're very very brief. You
know the name Stalin obviously, and you know Trotsky. I
would hope you know Trotsky in case you don't. When

(23:46):
the Bolsheviks were having their revolution, their Communist revolution. This
is in the early twentieth century in Russia, when they
were casting the Czar out and they were fighting all
these nasty little civil wars, and the Bolsheviks were taking over.
The Communists were taking over Russia. Yes, Lenin was involved
in all that, but top guys in that movement were

(24:06):
not only Joseph Stalin, but Trotsky. Trotsky was a big one.
Now they take over, the Bolsheviks win. Sadly, there's a
constant power struggle within the Communist Party for a better,
bigger seat at the table on the committee. I want
this important position, I want that important position. And there's

(24:28):
a constant struggle within the walls of Communism of what
we actually want. In general, they just want to destroy
and kill everything, But what do we actually want?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
What should the goal be?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
And in this power struggle, after Lenin passed on, Trotsky
lost because Stalin was a very shrewd operator. He had
put himself in position that he just had too much
power on his side. There's a power struggle between Trotsky
and Stalin over who's really going to take over in
Stalin won, but they had a huge, huge ideological difference

(25:07):
between them. What was that ideological difference for Stalin? Stalin
obviously wanted to control everything, destroy everything and whatnot. But
what Stalin wanted, what he wanted to prioritize, was kind
of a nationalist socialism, a nationalist communism where the Soviet Union, Yes,

(25:30):
it will be big and it will dominate in everything,
but we are a communist country that can stand on
its own against any of these dirty capitalist pigs. That
was the way of thinking. Trotsky had more of a
standard communism way of thinking. Where Trotsky he wanted communism
for the entire planet. In international communism, Trotsky he was

(25:57):
a much more pure communist Joseph Stalin was. Trotsky wanted
communism not just for Russians. Trotsky didn't give a care
about Russians or Germans, or Americans or whoever it may be.
Trotsky believed in communism for the entirety of the planet.

(26:18):
Remember what Marx wrote, workers of where unite? What was
the slogan workers of where was it? Workers of Germany,
workers of the auto unions, workers of Russia?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Workers of the world unite. Communism was always, always, always
supposed to take over and dominate the entire planet. That
was the idea behind it, and it remains the idea
behind it today. We call them globalists, and that's a
great way to put it. You can call them globalists.

(26:53):
I don't care what you call them. That's just communists
by another name. But remember it asked to be for
the whole planet. It's part of the reason these dirt
balls in Washington love to sign on to these international
treaties and the Parish Climate Agreement. And everything has to
be international. Everything has to be for everybody. There can

(27:13):
be no unique nation here or unique nation there. Now
we all have to be under one government with I
don't know, kind of a central committee running everything. None
of this sounds familiar, does it? Sounds like standard communism,
doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Jesse?

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Actually, this guy says, dear blister finger blasters.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I have a question.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
My wife and I argued whether people should dress up
for church. I completely understand that Jesus accepts you as
you are. Having said that, shouldn't men hold themselves to
a higher standard above the bare minimum. I certainly don't
feel like I'm better than anyone else, but I don't
think men should wear graphic teas and flip flops the church?

(27:55):
Would you dress like that? If you were going to
meet the president or the Queen of England? Then why
like that in the King of King's House? Shed some
light on this. For me, society would be in a
much better place if we didn't choose the option that
makes us most comfy.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Well, that's an interesting question, isn't it? For church or synagogue?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Chris? For church?

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Should you dress up suit and tie or in the
very least a nice polo jeans, decent set of shoes,
or maybe you're look you see this all the time,
especially in the Houston area, if you're close to the beach,
got flip flops and shorts on that day it's ninety
two inhumid Is it a problem if you show.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Up that way? Let's talk about that next.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Miss toast Catch up.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Jesse Kellyshow dot com.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show, only this hour.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I didn't mean final segment. I didn't mean to jump
the guy.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
The show has more.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Than an hour left and we have all kinds of
stuff we're gonna talk about. Running for office here in
a second, and putin and all kinds of other things.
I want to get to the question. The question was
dudes having an argument with his wife. Do you dress
up for church? Do you not dress up for church?
Here's what I think about it. It's gonna sound like

(29:22):
I'm of two minds about it, but I'm really not.
I understand that at some point in time, I'm gonna
have to answer for all the various things I've done wrong.
And that's a long, long, long list. I'll be forgiven,
but I'm gonna have to answer for all the things
I've done wrong. Do I think on that list would

(29:43):
be me wearing shorts and flip flops the church? I
doubt very much that would make the list. But there
is something to be said, not necessarily just for church,
really for everything. There's something to be said for standards.
And I'll be honest with you, I neglect this in

(30:04):
my own personal life. It's one of the many flaws
I personally have. Meaning because I don't, it doesn't really
bother me what people think about me. I will go
to the gas station in a T shirt. I have
this Marine Corps shirt. I was actually wearing it today
I've had the shirt for twenty years. It's coming apart.

(30:26):
When I say coming apart, there are just holes all
over it. And when I put my right hand through
my T shirt this morning, I tore the shirt because
my thumb went right through a hole.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
That was in the little short sleeve.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Stuck out of it as I was sticking my arm
through and tore the shirt. I will wear that in
flip flops down to the gas station to grab a
bag of chips or whatever I'm doing, and I really
probably shouldn't. There are days here in the studio sometimes
the air conditioning will go out in the building and
it's I'll show up. I'll show up in flip flops

(31:04):
and shorts. You can't see it, you know, you can
watch the show on the simulcast. You only get to
see my upper body. You can't see it. It's all
under the desk. But I'll show up in shorts and
flip flops and looking kind of sloppy. If I'm being honest,
I will. And that's not a good thing. It's not
a good thing. And you know, it's probably one of

(31:24):
the things I need to work on fixing about myself,
because you know what whenever I see an older man,
I love talking to old people, being around old people,
just getting as much wisdom from him as possible. It's
wild how often older men you get some old dude
with gray hair, How often they're dressed well, no matter

(31:46):
what they're doing. You run into them at the doctor's office,
you run into them at the gas station. And nothing's universal.
I'm not saying it's universal. How often do you see
an old man at red lobster with a sport jacket on,
even a tie. I look at that and I admire it.
I do, so there's something to be said for standards.

(32:08):
Do I think that in any way affects you in
the eyes of Jesus? No, of course, not come as
you are, show up as you are. That's not what matters.
But I agree standards mean something. And on that note, no,
I don't dress like a turd in church. Dear doctor Jesse.
I love the Jesse Kelly Show. I have my TV
set to record it. I haven't missed an episode since

(32:29):
I discovered it. You're great, that's good. She makes a
good point, Chris. She says, I want to run to
get a seat in my town's school board, and I
have no clue where to start. I decided to dig
I'd love that so much. I decided to dig in
by volunteering in various organizations around town to get to
know the general public. What are the things necessary for

(32:50):
a candidate to do in order to run a functional campaign?
How do I get nominated? Can I nominate myself? Thank
you for always sharing the truth said, I can say
your name, her name is Arianna.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
If you want to run for local office, one, that's awesome,
or if you want to help somebody run for local office,
you should know that that is inspiring to me and
everyone else. And it's awesome. Every time I get one
of these emails that makes me swell up with pride.
I am just so proud of everybody for digging in.
All right, now, First place you want to go? First

(33:28):
place you want to go, go down to the Republican
office in your county or your city. I would suggest
county because those are most often where you'll find the
Republican Party headquarters. Be prepared to be disappointed, meaning don't
think you're going to show up to some white marble building.

(33:50):
It's going to almost undoubtedly be in a fairly crappy
strip mall somewhere. And this goes to state Republican parties
as well. Remember the Arizona State Republican Party. I'm sure
they've probably moved by now. The first time I saw
the office, my jaw hit the floor. It was not
only in a strip mall, it was across the street
from pawn shops and check cashing places. It wasn't even

(34:13):
in a nice part of town. So set that aside.
You're not walking into the fancy halls of DC. You're
walking into the local GOP. There's gonna be a bunch
of not a bunch, probably two or three older people
working in there. Don't expect that they're going to be
overwhelmingly helpful. I'm sure they'll be nice. Don't expect that
they're going to lay out for you all the details

(34:34):
of running for office. But what they will be able
to help you with is figuring out what precynct you
live in. You live in a precinct, all right, You
have a precinct and area of town. They will also
tell you when your next precinct meeting is. You probably

(34:55):
didn't even know it unless you're politically involved. Most people
don't realize this, but in your pre synct, the Republicans
probably meet once a month, once every three months, once
every two weeks.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
It's going to differ from from area to area.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
You show up at that precinct, you will have the
most heavily politically involved people in your area, including representatives
elected representatives. Maybe the constable will be there, maybe the
state rep you have will be there, city council whoever.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
You don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
That is where you go talk to people, and that
is where you begin your school board journey. Bounce around
that room. You said your name, Ariana. Bounce around that room. Hi,
I'm Arianna. I'm a dime running for school board. I
need help. Can somebody help me direct me where to go?
I'm ready to dig in. You talk to enough people,

(35:47):
you'll get to the political guy in the room who
will know. Okay, well this is what you need to do.
You need to grab this form. Oh I ran for
school board before. You need to talk to Mark here.
Let me give you his number. Your local you sin
committee and meeting. That is where you need to show up.
Don't worry about being a professional, don't be nervous. Bring

(36:07):
your spouse with you if you have one, and make
you feel better, or a friend with you. Nobody's gonna
bite show up and talk to people, all right, and
I'm proud of you. We still have another hour. Let's
talk about talking to our communist neighbors. Is there a
way to talk to them to win them over?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Hang on
