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. We're gonna dig it in a little bit
of this economic news and we'll get back to the
ask doctor Jesse questions. Yes, its official dome is the
Democrat nominee. Issue officially has enough delegates to make her
(00:33):
the nominee. That happened earlier today, not that anyone was
in suspense about that. The old Oracle told you the
way that was gonna go a long time ago. And
I am such a huge fan of referring to myself
in the third person with nicknames. I also gave myself
that is just peak radio. That's peak radio. Right there.
(00:55):
Let's talk about something ugly before we go back to
all the ass doctor Jesse stuff. The economic news from today,
the unemployment numbers. It's it's bad, obviously, it's really bad. Here.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It was, my goodness, if you get three consecutive monthly
readings on job gains that are less than one hundred
and twenty five thousand, we only had one hundred and
fourteen thousand for the month of July. I'm beginning to
smell a recession coming into view. If that's the case,
just jump by the unemployment rate, my goodness, four point
(01:27):
three percent. This is up sharply from you know, not
long ago, where was it at three point five three
point six percent. This is a vierish report for the
US economy.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The okay, you combine that with this one. This is
from an ej Antony. I want to make sure I
give him credit. Over the last year. This is just
the last year. Native born Americans have lost one point
two million jobs. Foreign born have increased one point three
(02:03):
million dollars. This goes back to what we've talked about
many times before. I can't talk about I mean, I
can't even read all the emails I get from mainly
young men. Some are young women, but mainly young men
and older men who are just despondent at the job
market out there. Jesse. I've applied a million places, Jesse.
(02:23):
I can't find work. Jesse. I'm desperate, Jesse. I'm demoralized. Jesse.
I'm this And because I don't have much positive to
say about it, I don't want to stay on it.
I'm just going to say two things. First, this has
been it is the overarching story of Western civilization for
the last half century, if not more. That story is
(02:47):
the leaders of Western civilization ripping their countries away from
the hands of the citizens and handing it to those
who can be bought for a five hundred dollars visa card.
It's why the rust Belt is now the rust belt,
when it used to be the manufacturing belt, the steel belt,
whatever you want to call it. Now the rust belt
(03:10):
desolate rust belt towns, people hooked on drugs, Men young
and old, can't find work. But if you hop on
a train and get up here from Venezuela, you'll be
washing dishes before you know it in a taxpayer funded hotel,
and little, your little children will be educated in American schools,
also funded by the taxpayer. Now that's the bad stuff.
(03:34):
So let me just reinforce this. There is still opportunity
out there, young men, If you're listening right now, there
are opportunities out there. Are they going to look like
the same opportunities your father had and his father had? No,
they will not. In this day and age. I hear
(03:55):
this story all the time, so I know it's true.
You might graduate high school grades, you might get into
college somewhere. Lord Willing you're not buried in student loan
debt by the time you're done. And when you get
to college, you might major in something that is worthwhile,
not some ridiculous sociology degree, but you major in something worthwhile,
(04:17):
business management, whatever it may be, finance. And maybe you
work hard and get good grades in college and one
day you find yourself boom, you're graduating. You're a college grad.
You did it right, high school, college, you studied, you
picked the right degree, and now you're applying. Actually, just
got an email about this. I'm not going to read
the whole thing as long. It's hard to read, but
(04:37):
it's only hard to reaks. It's so sad of Jesse.
I've applied one hundred, two hundred jobs. Everyone says, no,
I can't even get a callback. Nobody wants me. Maybe
you did everything right and you're not getting a callback
and you're not getting a job, and I'm not here
to tell you that's okay, and I'm not here to
tell you that's going to change either. The chances are
(05:00):
are pretty good that we are going to enter into
a completely different economy, different culture than the one our
parents have known. Maybe the whole graduate from college in
four years and get a great job. Maybe that old
mindset needs to die like now, before we continue to
(05:21):
cheat our children. However, there are tremendous opportunities out there, still,
sales opportunities. Don't roll your eyes. I joke about being
an RV salesman. You don't have to sell RV's or cars.
There's a bunch of different fields. Almost every field involves sales.
(05:41):
My field, my field has sales. There's sales in radio,
there's sales and everything. You know how to listen to people.
I didn't say talk to id. Do you know how
to listen? Listen when they talk, find out their questions concerns.
You have hard work, discipline calling people back, set a
follow up thank you today. It couldn't be any easier.
(06:03):
It's a quick text me I said, hey man, thanks,
appreciate what you did. Do you have discipline like that?
Might be able to make yourself a real nice living.
There aren't very many talented sales guys who are going hungry, ever,
because someone always needs something sold to someone else and trades.
(06:25):
Roll your eyes. All you want plumbing, electrical, HVAC. And
you know I grew up in Bozeman, Montana. Who moved
to Montana when I was ten years old, and again
we did construction. I come from a construction family. It's
what my dad did, It's what his dad did, and
my dad was a construction foreman. We moved out there,
(06:46):
who was a foreman for a construction company, and we
moved to Bozeman, and we lived in ten houses in
ten years because we would buy a house and flip it,
trying to keep our heads above water, trying to earn money.
And you know, there was no mover back then. It
was me and my dad and a family friend in
a U haul, said scrawny little Jesse with my dad
moving ruined fridges and stuff in and out. But that's
(07:08):
what we did. But today it's very much change. It's
changed a lot today. I heard this. I haven't confirmed it,
but the average average price on a new home in Bozeman, Montana,
where I grew up, is a million dollars. That's insane.
That's nothing like when I was a kid. A million dollars. Okay,
(07:30):
that's crazy. Right, Well, what's this have to do with
the trades, what's this have to do with what I'm
telling you? Well, I was just having I know, I
just had my Marine Corps reunion and one of my
Marine Corps buddies. His brother still lives in Bozeman. Now,
he's not a fancy financier, he's not a doctor. He
doesn't do any of these things. So how in the
(07:50):
world could he afford to live in a town that's
so expensive. Well, he does construction on gutters. He puts
in and repairs and cleans the gutters on all these homes.
Sound miserable, Sound beneath you. He made seven hundred and
(08:11):
fifty thousand dollars last year, seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars last year. I am not here to tell you
the opportunities are the same ones your dad had. They're not.
I am not here to say that. I'm not lying.
I'm not wouldn't lie to you. I'm not going to
blow smoke or put a sunny face on something that's bad.
(08:33):
If you busted your button, you graduated with the finance degree,
and now you're living with your parents and your waiting
tables at iHeart, I'm sorry that sucks. It's unfair, it's wrong.
I wish it wasn't that way. But I am here
to tell you there are opportunities out there if you
start looking where the opportunities actually lie, and those opportunities
(08:56):
lie oftentimes in different places than the ones your parents
told you about, than the ones your parents had. And
don't be mad at your parents about that, because that's
the way it was. That's the way it was. When
I was a kid, My parents told me, you gotta
go to college. You gotta go to college. You want
a good job, go to college, Go to college. I
went to Montana State and flunked out. That's the look.
(09:18):
That was the old way of thinking. Maybe you do
have to go to college to do whatever you're doing,
but learn to be flexible with the opportunities that are
out there. Learn to be flexible, all right, all right,
dear golf club punisher, pasteurized process cheat, or whatever. As
one who lives in a comic controlled state of Kami, California,
(09:43):
I would love to relocate to a conservative state, but
for several reasons I cannot. What can people like me
do to most efficiently help keep our state from becoming
more communist? I get this question a lot, you know,
I always encourage people you gotta move, you gotta move,
get out of your blo blue steak get to a
red one. They're now put it, passing it into law.
(10:04):
They'll take your kids from you in these places, they're
getting darker and darker and darker as these blue states
go through this Commy death spiral. But what if you
can't your job, you're taking care of mom, the kids, school,
What if you can't that's the case for a lot
of people. They simply can't move. Let's discuss that in
a moment. Before we discuss that, let's discuss this. Let's
remember there are lives at stake. With what we talk
(10:27):
about lives at stake, In fact, we've we've snuffed out
over sixty million of them in this country, over sixty
million unborn babies gone forever because we manage to normalize
(10:48):
something that is terrible. Now, we can't bring those sixty
million back to life. We can't, but we can. We
do have the power to maybe prevent the next one.
And it's the power of ultrasound. The ultrasound is the
greatest gift the pro life movement has ever been given.
Because there's some kind of God breathed connection there between
(11:12):
a mother and her baby. Once she hears that heartbeat,
preborn is finding the women who are about to have
abortions and giving them free ultrasounds. You know, twenty eight
bucks buys that ultrasound. One hundred and forty bucks buys
five of them. In all this, no matter what you give,
you can give one hundred and fifty thousand for all
(11:32):
I Care, all of its tax deductible. Go to Preborn
dot com slash Jesse and give Preborn dot com slash
Jesse sponsored by Preborn fighting for your freedom every.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Day the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and
ask doctor Jesse Friday. Hey, remember you can email the
show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Why should you
do that? Freedom is not free. That's why you should
do that needle to break it down for you.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Even more, this is not an attempt to ban TikTok.
It's an attempt to make TikTok better, tick tech toe
a winner, a winner.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
In fact, to what the guys said, what can you
if you're stuck in a blue state you can't move,
what can you do? Well? You know how we talk
about legal and local all the time, Getting involved legally
and locally, that's our path forward that's our path for victory.
We stay legal and we start taking back our communities.
(12:40):
The future of our country, the future for you and
your kids, is community focused. It has to be community focused.
And maybe that stuff bores you. Maybe you're not into
local politics. And I get that local politics is boring,
it's lame. I know that it is. I admit that.
But if we focus locally, then no matter what happens nationally,
(13:05):
we will be better off. Whether we're saved, whether it's
a disaster, we'll be better off. And if enough of
us take back our communities, then that will have the
benefit of raising the entire nation up. You know, when
Genghis Khan was invading a nation, he didn't ride right
(13:26):
past everything and head right to the capitol. He began
at the outposts. He began in the hinterlands and worked
his way in. That's what I mean by legal and local.
We focus so much time and energy and emotional energy
on draining the swamp when there's a reason. The swamp
has not been drained in my forty three years on
(13:48):
the planet, not even a little. It just keeps filling up, up, up, up,
up and up some more. So set that aside and
let's focus on local and legal. I didn't say we
ignore national politics. Go out vote for Trump, go out
make sure your senator gets elected, your congressman gets elected. Yes,
that stuff's good. It stuff matters a lot. But if
(14:10):
you're stuck in a blue state, here's the truth. Your
county sheriff might be the most important election you ever voted.
If you're in California right now. Let's say you're on
the right. You're in California, and there's millions and millions
and millions and millions of people on the right in
California right now listening to me. Listen. It's not that
(14:35):
I don't want you to go vote for Trump this
November or whoever you choose to vote for, but your
local politicians are going to have so much more to
do with your daily life than any national politician ever.
Would you want to get involved, But you feel powerless
because in your because you're in a blue state and
(14:55):
your vote doesn't matter for presidential elections. You are not powerless.
Nobody is powerless. And let's say you're stuck in a
blue city, a blue part of a blue state, and
you can't get out of there. What if you're in
New York City. What if you're listening to me right
now on that great wor I might note in some
of the studio apartment in Manhattan, and because of work,
(15:16):
that's where you have to live. And okay, well, helping
getting involved now. Because of the benefit of technology, it
can be remote. Did you know you can phone bank
for candidates from that studio apartment in Manhattan, Candidates in
swing districts, candidates across the country. You can donate money
(15:37):
if you have any, to political candidates or political causes
if you have one. There are so many ways to
get involved. And I want to stress this as well.
Getting involved doesn't only mean running for office, running for
school board, and it doesn't only mean helping someone who does.
(15:57):
Now we need to do those things. We have to
take back these seats of power. How many group text
messages have you sent out to your friends about voting?
That's something because you get people that will email in it.
And I understand this well, Jesse, that's easy for you
to say you have a big platform and stuff of that,
And you're right, I do have a big platform now,
(16:18):
even though I have no idea why I am here,
I have a big platform now and I can speak
to all these people. You're right, that's correct. I do.
But you know what I can't do all the radio,
TV and all this other stuff. You know what I
can't do. I can't send a group text message to
your friends and family. I don't even know who they are,
(16:40):
and even if I did, they'd think I was some weird,
creepy marketer trying to bleed money out of them. You,
on the other hand, can shoot it out and say, hey,
a'all don't know if you know, we have a school
board election coming up next Tuesday. I've been working really
closely with Jewish producer Chris. I think he'd be great
for the school board. So go vote for Jewish producer. Actually,
(17:01):
we know Chris would be terrible. I'm just using his
name as a feel in here. Go vote for Chris
next Tuesday if you would. You can do that and
I cannot. That is a political power. That is power
you have I do not have. I don't even know
who's running for your school board. I don't know anything
about it. But you do. You have power no one
(17:24):
else has. There's no one else on the planet who
has your friend circle and family circle. No one else
on the planet has your identical circle, and no one
else on the planet, but you has the ability to
influence that circle. So influence that circle. Hand curious friends,
You have a friend who's maybe maybe sensing that things
(17:47):
aren't right, kind of, you know, maybe doing the little
crawl before they walk thing of you see them starting
to wake up politically, What about a book? Are they
into books? No, I'm not even telling you to give
them mind. Give find a book you love that's political,
give it to them, or give them mind. I don't care.
Borrow one from a friend if you don't want to
buy anyone, I don't care. The movement matters. The movement
(18:08):
is what matters. You have the ability to influence the
people in your life in a way nobody else has,
not me or anyone else. That counts too. You don't
have to run for office. There are a bunch of
ways to get involved. All right, Let's talk about what's
happening over there. Israel. The Middle East is blowing up
right now. I did not mean that come out that way,
(18:31):
but I guess that's a pretty on the nose way
to put it. Speaking of blowing up, have I ever
told you about Fred's digestive problems because Fred. Of course
we would have a dog that has a sensitive stomach.
He had digestive problems after every meal for the first
gosh what year or two of his life. We pretty
(18:51):
much kept the paper tau industry in business in the
United States of America. I know COVID hurt everybody, but we,
the Kelly family, we kept them afloat because of Fred.
But our paper towel usage has gone way down because
now we pour rough greens on Fred's food. On top
of itamins and minerals and omega oils, Roughgreens has probiotics
(19:13):
and digestive enzymes. Fred's coat is shinier, his breath is better,
his digestive problems have gone completely away because of Roughgreens.
You want your dog to live longer, start giving your
dog real nutrition. You will see differences in your dog.
You'll go to the vetless. How's that sound? Vets are expensive.
Roughgreens dot com, slash Jesse or call them eight three
(19:37):
three three three my dog. We'll be back the Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's still real to me.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Dammit the tyrnstacks. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On
a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday. Here's something that's
not a great sign for the economy. Car repos car repossessions,
they're up twenty three percent compared to the same time
period last year. Means people aren't making their note. And
(20:09):
a cop buddy of mine, I was talking to him.
You know what he told me said, he's never had
this many instances of people driving without insurance. He routinely
shows up at REX. Now people are driving without insurance.
Why are they driving without insurance? They can't freaking afford
insurance in order to make the car note. They're had
to make sacrifices. People are still not getting these little
(20:32):
signs out there show you something. And when I talk
about this, I'll get to the Middle East talking a minute.
But whenever I talk about this, it can get confusing
for people. So they'll email in and they'll ask, and
it's a very honest, it's a great question. Really, they'll say, Jesse,
I hear about all these people who are hurting, But
(20:54):
why are flights full? People are going to Barbados, people
are going to Hawaii, people are people are flying everywhere,
People were doing nice things, people were Why are all
these things happening? Yet people are supposedly hurting. Well, what
you're seeing right now is the disappearance of the middle class.
(21:17):
The middle class is being pushed down into poverty. The
reason you're still seeing people buy fancy cars and fly
on planes is because a lot of people have risen
above middle class economically and they're still spending money. I
was actually at a nice hotel, really nice hotel, for
that thing I had to go do for iHeart. The
(21:37):
reason I was gone Monday through Wednesday, the thing I
had to do with the suits. We were down in
Palm Beach and we're at this super super nice hotel.
I totally didn't belong there. We're at this really nice
hotel in the place there people all over the place,
absolutely all over the place, and we're looking around. My
wife and I were thinking what in the world. And
then talk to enough people when you figure out, well, yeah,
(21:59):
all these people they're rich. Rich people can withstand twenty
percent inflation. Rich people can withstand these things. What happens
is middle class people cannot, and so they're slashing their
standard of living and being pushed down into poverty. It
is turning into a country where there really are haves
(22:21):
and have nots. That's what inflation does. It guts the
middle class, destroys the poor, guts the middle class, and
the super rich they it doesn't affect them at all.
This goes back to what I was talking about when
I talked about COVID all the time and the lockdowns,
and why I always yelled and screamed at all the
media people who were okay with it. That's why I'm
(22:44):
very grateful that I've had a very normal life up
until the point I started doing this six six and
a half years ago, whatever it is. Because these people
would sit at home and they do TV for a living,
or they do radio like I do for a living,
or or or they're a columnist for this or anus
for that. And these people were sitting in their jammy's
doing media hits, or sitting there typing up something on
(23:06):
their laptop while they while they sit out a sun
themselves on the deck with a cappuccino, and they're telling you,
lecturing you about why you have to shut down your
business and stay home. Just stay home. It's only two weeks. Well,
you can't take off work for a month. And I
used to scream about it all the time. That's easy
for you to say you don't work by the hour,
(23:26):
you don't need time and a half. Look when we
worked construction. When I worked construction, which is the vast
majority of probably my adulthood, there were many times I
didn't just need forty hours. I really kind of needed
forty five to fifty to make ends meet because I
(23:48):
needed time and a half. Or if we were really lucky,
it depended on the jurisdiction you were in, even double
and I was surrounded by guys like that. We weren't
dying to get off of work at the end of
the day. We were hoping they kept us late because
we needed the hours. And we live in a country
that where all the people who bring you the news
they don't even know what that existence is like. That's
(24:10):
why they were all so casualble Hey, just stay home,
I selfish jerk. What And now, as the middle class
gets smashed, all the rich are still going places, still
eating fancy foods at fancy hotels in Florida, Yeah, of course,
but poor people can't afford their car. Note. Hey, Jesse,
(24:31):
I know it's asking a lot, but could you break
down in as simple way as possible what's currently going
on in the Middle East. The US is divided Iran
and supporting Christians, So it seems like there's a change
all the time. And I'm terrible in history, and I
really struggle to keep it all straight. What do we
need to know and who do we need to watch? Okay,
(24:52):
so let's have a little foreign policy talk before we
dig into what's happening in the Middle East. Because foreign
policy is an extremely, extremely complicated thing. I very rarely
will judge anyone for their foreign policy because it's one
(25:12):
of those things that's so complicated there isn't necessarily a
right answer. As I've told you before, the only foreign
policy I find completely unacceptable is chickenhawks. If you're one
of these politicians who believes in sending American boys to die,
but you yourself you're unwilling to send your sons and
daughters to die, then that I have a huge problem
(25:35):
with the Mitt Romneys of the world. That's the only
foreign policy I disagree with. Mitt Romney wants American troops
invading every inch of ground on the planet. He's got
eighty seven kids, and then they've never they've never once
served in the military. That is completely unacceptable. Looking at
a war and saying, hey, that's important. Your son better
go die there, just not mine. That's unacceptable. Okay, So
(25:57):
let's step that aside. Let's talk about foreign policy. Foreign
policy is so incredibly complicated because the politics of one
nation without any other nations involved, the politics of one
nation is extremely complicated. Let's talk about Iran for a moment,
because we're gonna make this kind of Middle East centric
(26:20):
to try to break a lot of this stuff down.
Let's talk about Iran for a moment. Now, yes, Iran
is its own country, but it's also an Islamic country. Okay,
but it only really practices one of the two sects
of Islam. There are Shiites and there are Sunnies. Iran
(26:43):
is soon there is she Heite. I'm sorry. So there
is an Islamic state all right. Now. Also on top
of being an Islamic state, they have sold themselves repeated
lee to the radical Islamists anywhere in the region. They've
(27:05):
sold themselves as being the vanguard of Islam, the protector
of Islam, the tip of the spear. You know. For years,
in decades, decades, for a long long time, the Ottoman Empire,
they really were able to do a lot of what
they were doing because they sold themselves as the protectors
of Islam. We are the protectors of Islam. We will
(27:26):
protect Islam. Islam will not be smashed. Muslims will be
safe because of us, the Ottomans. On a much smaller level,
that's what Iran does right now for so many of
the radical Islamic terrorist groups in the region. So that's
one aspect of what Iran has to do. They have
to as an Islamic country and as the vanguard of Islam,
(27:48):
they have to act as if they're protecting Islam at
all times. But wait, there's more. There's also basic power
and money at play here. The very evil men who
lead the country of Iran. Well they may be Muslim,
they maybe not. You never know what's in somebody's heart,
(28:09):
what someone truly believes. But they also are men who
like money and they like power. How do I know that?
Because all men like money and like power. It is
human nature. They want to live in palaces and fly
on private jets and smoke the finest tukahs. I don't
know if they do that, I'd just like to imagine it.
And that's what they enjoy. So there's that aspect. So
(28:30):
there's the Islamic protector aspect, there's the I like money
and power aspect to it. There's a domestic political thing
going on as well in Iran, where there are a
bunch of freedom loving people in Iran who want this
government to cast its yoke off of them so they
can be free. Iran has to worry about these people.
(28:53):
They have to worry that the revolution doesn't get too big.
Are you seeing? Now? This is just one country. This
is one country. I've spent I've spent two minutes on
one country. It's already complicated, isn't it. Wait, we have
the Islamic thing, and the money empower thing and the
people thing. We're gonna we're gonna dig into this in
a little more depth, and we'll talk about the Middle
East and some things that are happening before we do that.
(29:14):
Speaking of radical Islamic terrorism, obviously that's some not great news.
We got about the plotters of nine to eleven, and
I know a lot of people were hot about that,
and I understand that I am as well. Remember though,
that at least at least Tunnel to Towers is still
(29:35):
out there caring for those families. There are a lot
of families, a lot of gold Star families who lost
loved ones and fallen first responder families either in nine
to eleven or in the Global War on Terror after
nine to eleven. You know the organization who was there
for those families when dad didn't come home. It was
Tunnel to Towers And to this day they're helping catastrophically
(29:59):
injured veterans, fallen first responders, building smart homes, paying off
mortgages for widows and orphans. That's where your eleven dollars
a month goes. Eleven dollars a month, go to tth
number two T dot org t twot dot org. We'll
(30:19):
be back. You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Remember
you can email us love, hate, death threats Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. Guy Lady emailed in and was
(30:40):
asking about what's going on Iran Israel to try to
make some sense of it. So we're just doing a
little foreign policy discussion here, and I talked about just
the different players, a few of the different players just
with Iran, just at the country like that, Iran, what's
their foreign policy. Well, you have to play katho radical Islamis.
You have to worry about keeping your own power. If
(31:02):
you're one of the people in charge, you have to
worry about placating the people enough so that they don't
rise up in open rebellion. You have to make sure
your being as radical as the radical Islamic terrorist groups
you support demand you are. And that's just Iran. Now
let's step them aside for a moment. Let's talk about Israel.
(31:24):
Israel has a completely different problem. Israel, we don't talk
about it much now, is extremely divided domestically, politically in
a lot of similar ways that we are. They don't
just have two parties like we do either, all kinds
of divides there. We look at foreign countries, whether they
(31:47):
be allies or enemies, and we like to simplify things. Oh,
Israel stands for blank, fill in the blank, whatever that
may be. Israel has political parties too, political parties that
have different views on how to do things. Okay, so
you have that. Then October seventh happened. Now Israel is
in this situation. Israel needs to respond. The Israel decided
(32:10):
they're going to take out Hamas No more Hamas. We're
gonna invade, kill every single person in Hamas we can
possibly find. They still have our hostages. We have to
take out Hamas. Okay, well, Hamas they're funded from Iran,
so Iran is now there, and then Hezbelah is north
of Israel in Lebanon. Hezbelah is much more sophisticated and
(32:35):
well funded than Hamas, much more organized. Think of Hezbollah,
more of a standing army than a terrorist organization. Israel
is now fighting there, and then they're gonna have to
fight Hezbelah. But wait, they can't really do this alone.
Probably granted, Israel is pretty tough, but it's a really
small country. It's only eight million people. That makes it
(32:57):
even more complicated. Why up in comes the United States
of America. Well, let's talk about that. And this is
getting complicated. I know I'm doing this on purpose because
it is so complicated. There's no simple way to break
it down. Israel needs the assistance of the United States
of America if they're to fight Hamas, Hezballah, Iran, yehmen,
(33:22):
everyone else who seems to get involved. Israel needs the
United States of America, and normally Israel has the support
of the United States of America, except now ever since
Barack Obama got elected, a huge part of the Democrat
base hates Jews. You've seen this all You've seen it
all over college campus. You don't you don't need that
(33:43):
for me. Barack Obama himself hated Jews. Barack Obama himself
was raised in a Black liberation theology church. It's a
very You've heard Lewis Farri Khon. You've heard Farakhon called
jew termites, called Jews termites, and things like that. That's
Black liberation theology type stuff. Black it goes into all
(34:06):
this complicated stuff. But that's where Obama came from. American communism.
American communism is now represented in large pipe by people
who despise choose. Look, we're just talking foreign policy here.
So now, if you're a Democrat, if you're Barack Obama,
will set him aside. If you're Joe Biden, you need
(34:26):
to steal because you're so much of your fundraising base
is wealthy Jewish donors. You need to still act like
you give a crap about Israel at the same time
you're worried about making your base too mad, So then
you can't do that, so you see how complicated this is.
It's complicated. All foreign policy is complicated because of the
(34:50):
different players inside of every nation and the different motivations
of the different players inside of every nation. I broke
that down for you in a complicated way because it
is so complicated, and there's not a simple way to
give you an answer. I wish there was. And oh,
(35:13):
let me throw another little wrinkle in there. This is
the one that's really just gonna make your eyes glaze over,
and you're gonna want to move on. And I promise,
once I dropped this little turd in the punch bowl,
we are going to move on. Intelligence agencies, propaganda lies.
(35:34):
What if that's what if that terrorist who got blown
up in Tehran? What if Israel didn't do it. What
if the Iranians did it and wanted to blame it
on Israel. What if the rocket that landed in that
soccer field that killed those little Israeli kids, what if
it was some Israeli soldier playing with grenades and he
(35:57):
dropped it and blew it up. That's not what happened.
It was a rocket that came from level. But you see,
these things happen all the time lies propaganda? What if
America was involved? Do I need to remind you about
the nord Stream two pipeline. We know the truth because
the president has dementia and couldn't control himself. But remember
the reporter asks Joe Biden, Hey, what are you going
(36:20):
to do about? Oh? You have it, Chris, I'll go
and play it.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Let me answer the first question. First, if Germany, if
if Russia invades that means tanks or troops crossing the
border of Ukraine again, then there will be there will
be no longer a nord Stream two.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We will bring it into it. But how will you
how will you do that? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Since the project and control of the project is within
Germany's control, we will, I promise you, We'll be able.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
To do it. And about five minutes after that you
could hear the reporter's voice completely confused. All of a sudden,
we woke up one day and someone had blown some
big holes under the water in Nordstream two when NATO,
along with the United States military, was doing naval exercises
(37:19):
a mile from the pipeline, and we lied about it.
We said we had nothing to do about the whole thing.
In fact, we have reporting from Seymour Hirsch to this
day that says America did that we lie, lies, propaganda.
What I'm trying to say is, if you're going to
sit down and try to make simple sense of foreign
(37:40):
policy matters and wars and attacks and things, you're going
to have a long, long, long, hard road of it.
There are so many different players here, and so many
different motivations and so many different lies. Just know that
it gets confusing, all right. We have many things still
to talk about Dome. How should Trump campaigns her? And
(38:02):
you know who I was hanging out with down in Florida.
I was hanging out with Berna. You know, the non
lethal pistol launchers. You want to talk about, people who
are passionate about what they do. And it was amazing.
We were sitting at a table. It was me, I
don't want to give out his name, said, didn't ask
him before him. It was me, the burn A guy,
his lovely bride, and then a bunch of other people,
(38:24):
bunch of couples at our table, and the Burna guys
starts talking about what it is. And there were three
different women at my table who are completely uncomfortable with firearms.
By the time we were done with dinner. They were
all on their phones ordering a BURNA non lethal pepper
balls or tear gas balls. I carry both. I love
(38:46):
lethal and non lethal. You want to stop a very
bad man, you don't even have to shoot accurately. Do
you know that it's part of the beauty of it.
Cops will shoot it on the ground if a guy's
hiding behind something. You want to save your life, the
life of someone you love. Get a burn, A pistol
launcher for the person you love. B y RNA bernad
(39:07):
dot com, slash Jesse another hour, Hang on
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Friday. We're gonna dig it in a little bit
of this economic news and we'll get back to the
ask doctor Jesse questions. Yes, its official dome is the
Democrat nominee. Issue officially has enough delegates to make her
(00:33):
the nominee. That happened earlier today, not that anyone was
in suspense about that. The old Oracle told you the
way that was gonna go a long time ago. And
I am such a huge fan of referring to myself
in the third person with nicknames. I also gave myself
that is just peak radio. That's peak radio. Right there.
(00:55):
Let's talk about something ugly before we go back to
all the ass doctor Jesse stuff. The economic news from today,
the unemployment numbers. It's it's bad, obviously, it's really bad. Here.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It was, my goodness, if you get three consecutive monthly
readings on job gains that are less than one hundred
and twenty five thousand, we only had one hundred and
fourteen thousand for the month of July. I'm beginning to
smell a recession coming into view. If that's the case,
just jump by the unemployment rate, my goodness, four point
(01:27):
three percent. This is up sharply from you know, not
long ago, where was it at three point five three
point six percent. This is a vierish report for the
US economy.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
The okay, you combine that with this one. This is
from an ej Antony. I want to make sure I
give him credit. Over the last year. This is just
the last year. Native born Americans have lost one point
two million jobs. Foreign born have increased one point three
(02:03):
million dollars. This goes back to what we've talked about
many times before. I can't talk about I mean, I
can't even read all the emails I get from mainly
young men. Some are young women, but mainly young men
and older men who are just despondent at the job
market out there. Jesse. I've applied a million places, Jesse.
(02:23):
I can't find work. Jesse. I'm desperate, Jesse. I'm demoralized. Jesse.
I'm this And because I don't have much positive to
say about it, I don't want to stay on it.
I'm just going to say two things. First, this has
been it is the overarching story of Western civilization for
the last half century, if not more. That story is
(02:47):
the leaders of Western civilization ripping their countries away from
the hands of the citizens and handing it to those
who can be bought for a five hundred dollars visa card.
It's why the rust Belt is now the rust belt,
when it used to be the manufacturing belt, the steel belt,
whatever you want to call it. Now the rust belt
(03:10):
desolate rust belt towns, people hooked on drugs, Men young
and old, can't find work. But if you hop on
a train and get up here from Venezuela, you'll be
washing dishes before you know it in a taxpayer funded hotel,
and little, your little children will be educated in American schools,
also funded by the taxpayer. Now that's the bad stuff.
(03:34):
So let me just reinforce this. There is still opportunity
out there, young men, If you're listening right now, there
are opportunities out there. Are they going to look like
the same opportunities your father had and his father had? No,
they will not. In this day and age. I hear
(03:55):
this story all the time, so I know it's true.
You might graduate high school grades, you might get into
college somewhere. Lord Willing you're not buried in student loan
debt by the time you're done. And when you get
to college, you might major in something that is worthwhile,
not some ridiculous sociology degree, but you major in something worthwhile,
(04:17):
business management, whatever it may be, finance. And maybe you
work hard and get good grades in college and one
day you find yourself boom, you're graduating. You're a college grad.
You did it right, high school, college, you studied, you
picked the right degree, and now you're applying. Actually, just
got an email about this. I'm not going to read
the whole thing as long. It's hard to read, but
(04:37):
it's only hard to reaks. It's so sad of Jesse.
I've applied one hundred, two hundred jobs. Everyone says, no,
I can't even get a callback. Nobody wants me. Maybe
you did everything right and you're not getting a callback
and you're not getting a job, and I'm not here
to tell you that's okay, and I'm not here to
tell you that's going to change either. The chances are
(05:00):
are pretty good that we are going to enter into
a completely different economy, different culture than the one our
parents have known. Maybe the whole graduate from college in
four years and get a great job. Maybe that old
mindset needs to die like now, before we continue to
(05:21):
cheat our children. However, there are tremendous opportunities out there, still,
sales opportunities. Don't roll your eyes. I joke about being
an RV salesman. You don't have to sell RV's or cars.
There's a bunch of different fields. Almost every field involves sales.
(05:41):
My field, my field has sales. There's sales in radio,
there's sales and everything. You know how to listen to people.
I didn't say talk to id. Do you know how
to listen? Listen when they talk, find out their questions concerns.
You have hard work, discipline calling people back, set a
follow up thank you today. It couldn't be any easier.
(06:03):
It's a quick text me I said, hey man, thanks,
appreciate what you did. Do you have discipline like that?
Might be able to make yourself a real nice living.
There aren't very many talented sales guys who are going hungry, ever,
because someone always needs something sold to someone else and trades.
(06:25):
Roll your eyes. All you want plumbing, electrical, HVAC. And
you know I grew up in Bozeman, Montana. Who moved
to Montana when I was ten years old, and again
we did construction. I come from a construction family. It's
what my dad did, It's what his dad did, and
my dad was a construction foreman. We moved out there,
(06:46):
who was a foreman for a construction company, and we
moved to Bozeman, and we lived in ten houses in
ten years because we would buy a house and flip it,
trying to keep our heads above water, trying to earn money.
And you know, there was no mover back then. It
was me and my dad and a family friend in
a U haul, said scrawny little Jesse with my dad
moving ruined fridges and stuff in and out. But that's
(07:08):
what we did. But today it's very much change. It's
changed a lot today. I heard this. I haven't confirmed it,
but the average average price on a new home in Bozeman, Montana,
where I grew up, is a million dollars. That's insane.
That's nothing like when I was a kid. A million dollars. Okay,
(07:30):
that's crazy. Right, Well, what's this have to do with
the trades, what's this have to do with what I'm
telling you? Well, I was just having I know, I
just had my Marine Corps reunion and one of my
Marine Corps buddies. His brother still lives in Bozeman. Now,
he's not a fancy financier, he's not a doctor. He
doesn't do any of these things. So how in the
(07:50):
world could he afford to live in a town that's
so expensive. Well, he does construction on gutters. He puts
in and repairs and cleans the gutters on all these homes.
Sound miserable, Sound beneath you. He made seven hundred and
(08:11):
fifty thousand dollars last year, seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars last year. I am not here to tell you
the opportunities are the same ones your dad had. They're not.
I am not here to say that. I'm not lying.
I'm not wouldn't lie to you. I'm not going to
blow smoke or put a sunny face on something that's bad.
(08:33):
If you busted your button, you graduated with the finance degree,
and now you're living with your parents and your waiting
tables at iHeart, I'm sorry that sucks. It's unfair, it's wrong.
I wish it wasn't that way. But I am here
to tell you there are opportunities out there if you
start looking where the opportunities actually lie, and those opportunities
(08:56):
lie oftentimes in different places than the ones your parents
told you about, than the ones your parents had. And
don't be mad at your parents about that, because that's
the way it was. That's the way it was. When
I was a kid, My parents told me, you gotta
go to college. You gotta go to college. You want
a good job, go to college, Go to college. I
went to Montana State and flunked out. That's the look.
(09:18):
That was the old way of thinking. Maybe you do
have to go to college to do whatever you're doing,
but learn to be flexible with the opportunities that are
out there. Learn to be flexible, all right, all right,
dear golf club punisher, pasteurized process cheat, or whatever. As
one who lives in a comic controlled state of Kami, California,
(09:43):
I would love to relocate to a conservative state, but
for several reasons I cannot. What can people like me
do to most efficiently help keep our state from becoming
more communist? I get this question a lot, you know,
I always encourage people you gotta move, you gotta move,
get out of your blo blue steak get to a
red one. They're now put it, passing it into law.
(10:04):
They'll take your kids from you in these places, they're
getting darker and darker and darker as these blue states
go through this Commy death spiral. But what if you
can't your job, you're taking care of mom, the kids, school,
What if you can't that's the case for a lot
of people. They simply can't move. Let's discuss that in
a moment. Before we discuss that, let's discuss this. Let's
remember there are lives at stake. With what we talk
(10:27):
about lives at stake, In fact, we've we've snuffed out
over sixty million of them in this country, over sixty
million unborn babies gone forever because we manage to normalize
(10:48):
something that is terrible. Now, we can't bring those sixty
million back to life. We can't, but we can. We
do have the power to maybe prevent the next one.
And it's the power of ultrasound. The ultrasound is the
greatest gift the pro life movement has ever been given.
Because there's some kind of God breathed connection there between
(11:12):
a mother and her baby. Once she hears that heartbeat,
preborn is finding the women who are about to have
abortions and giving them free ultrasounds. You know, twenty eight
bucks buys that ultrasound. One hundred and forty bucks buys
five of them. In all this, no matter what you give,
you can give one hundred and fifty thousand for all
(11:32):
I Care, all of its tax deductible. Go to Preborn
dot com slash Jesse and give Preborn dot com slash
Jesse sponsored by Preborn fighting for your freedom every.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Day the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and
ask doctor Jesse Friday. Hey, remember you can email the
show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Why should you
do that? Freedom is not free. That's why you should
do that needle to break it down for you.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Even more, this is not an attempt to ban TikTok.
It's an attempt to make TikTok better, tick tech toe
a winner, a winner.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
In fact, to what the guys said, what can you
if you're stuck in a blue state you can't move,
what can you do? Well? You know how we talk
about legal and local all the time, Getting involved legally
and locally, that's our path forward that's our path for victory.
We stay legal and we start taking back our communities.
(12:40):
The future of our country, the future for you and
your kids, is community focused. It has to be community focused.
And maybe that stuff bores you. Maybe you're not into
local politics. And I get that local politics is boring,
it's lame. I know that it is. I admit that.
But if we focus locally, then no matter what happens nationally,
(13:05):
we will be better off. Whether we're saved, whether it's
a disaster, we'll be better off. And if enough of
us take back our communities, then that will have the
benefit of raising the entire nation up. You know, when
Genghis Khan was invading a nation, he didn't ride right
(13:26):
past everything and head right to the capitol. He began
at the outposts. He began in the hinterlands and worked
his way in. That's what I mean by legal and local.
We focus so much time and energy and emotional energy
on draining the swamp when there's a reason. The swamp
has not been drained in my forty three years on
(13:48):
the planet, not even a little. It just keeps filling up, up, up, up,
up and up some more. So set that aside and
let's focus on local and legal. I didn't say we
ignore national politics. Go out vote for Trump, go out
make sure your senator gets elected, your congressman gets elected. Yes,
that stuff's good. It stuff matters a lot. But if
(14:10):
you're stuck in a blue state, here's the truth. Your
county sheriff might be the most important election you ever voted.
If you're in California right now. Let's say you're on
the right. You're in California, and there's millions and millions
and millions and millions of people on the right in
California right now listening to me. Listen. It's not that
(14:35):
I don't want you to go vote for Trump this
November or whoever you choose to vote for, but your
local politicians are going to have so much more to
do with your daily life than any national politician ever.
Would you want to get involved, But you feel powerless
because in your because you're in a blue state and
(14:55):
your vote doesn't matter for presidential elections. You are not powerless.
Nobody is powerless. And let's say you're stuck in a
blue city, a blue part of a blue state, and
you can't get out of there. What if you're in
New York City. What if you're listening to me right
now on that great wor I might note in some
of the studio apartment in Manhattan, and because of work,
(15:16):
that's where you have to live. And okay, well, helping
getting involved now. Because of the benefit of technology, it
can be remote. Did you know you can phone bank
for candidates from that studio apartment in Manhattan, Candidates in
swing districts, candidates across the country. You can donate money
(15:37):
if you have any, to political candidates or political causes
if you have one. There are so many ways to
get involved. And I want to stress this as well.
Getting involved doesn't only mean running for office, running for
school board, and it doesn't only mean helping someone who does.
(15:57):
Now we need to do those things. We have to
take back these seats of power. How many group text
messages have you sent out to your friends about voting?
That's something because you get people that will email in it.
And I understand this well, Jesse, that's easy for you
to say you have a big platform and stuff of that,
And you're right, I do have a big platform now,
(16:18):
even though I have no idea why I am here,
I have a big platform now and I can speak
to all these people. You're right, that's correct. I do.
But you know what I can't do all the radio,
TV and all this other stuff. You know what I
can't do. I can't send a group text message to
your friends and family. I don't even know who they are,
(16:40):
and even if I did, they'd think I was some weird,
creepy marketer trying to bleed money out of them. You,
on the other hand, can shoot it out and say, hey,
a'all don't know if you know, we have a school
board election coming up next Tuesday. I've been working really
closely with Jewish producer Chris. I think he'd be great
for the school board. So go vote for Jewish producer. Actually,
(17:01):
we know Chris would be terrible. I'm just using his
name as a feel in here. Go vote for Chris
next Tuesday if you would. You can do that and
I cannot. That is a political power. That is power
you have I do not have. I don't even know
who's running for your school board. I don't know anything
about it. But you do. You have power no one
(17:24):
else has. There's no one else on the planet who
has your friend circle and family circle. No one else
on the planet has your identical circle, and no one
else on the planet, but you has the ability to
influence that circle. So influence that circle. Hand curious friends,
You have a friend who's maybe maybe sensing that things
(17:47):
aren't right, kind of, you know, maybe doing the little
crawl before they walk thing of you see them starting
to wake up politically, What about a book? Are they
into books? No, I'm not even telling you to give
them mind. Give find a book you love that's political,
give it to them, or give them mind. I don't care.
Borrow one from a friend if you don't want to
buy anyone, I don't care. The movement matters. The movement
(18:08):
is what matters. You have the ability to influence the
people in your life in a way nobody else has,
not me or anyone else. That counts too. You don't
have to run for office. There are a bunch of
ways to get involved. All right, Let's talk about what's
happening over there. Israel. The Middle East is blowing up
right now. I did not mean that come out that way,
(18:31):
but I guess that's a pretty on the nose way
to put it. Speaking of blowing up, have I ever
told you about Fred's digestive problems because Fred. Of course
we would have a dog that has a sensitive stomach.
He had digestive problems after every meal for the first
gosh what year or two of his life. We pretty
(18:51):
much kept the paper tau industry in business in the
United States of America. I know COVID hurt everybody, but we,
the Kelly family, we kept them afloat because of Fred.
But our paper towel usage has gone way down because
now we pour rough greens on Fred's food. On top
of itamins and minerals and omega oils, Roughgreens has probiotics
(19:13):
and digestive enzymes. Fred's coat is shinier, his breath is better,
his digestive problems have gone completely away because of Roughgreens.
You want your dog to live longer, start giving your
dog real nutrition. You will see differences in your dog.
You'll go to the vetless. How's that sound? Vets are expensive.
Roughgreens dot com, slash Jesse or call them eight three
(19:37):
three three three my dog. We'll be back the Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's still real to me.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Dammit the tyrnstacks. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. On
a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday. Here's something that's
not a great sign for the economy. Car repos car repossessions,
they're up twenty three percent compared to the same time
period last year. Means people aren't making their note. And
(20:09):
a cop buddy of mine, I was talking to him.
You know what he told me said, he's never had
this many instances of people driving without insurance. He routinely
shows up at REX. Now people are driving without insurance.
Why are they driving without insurance? They can't freaking afford
insurance in order to make the car note. They're had
to make sacrifices. People are still not getting these little
(20:32):
signs out there show you something. And when I talk
about this, I'll get to the Middle East talking a minute.
But whenever I talk about this, it can get confusing
for people. So they'll email in and they'll ask, and
it's a very honest, it's a great question. Really, they'll say, Jesse,
I hear about all these people who are hurting, But
(20:54):
why are flights full? People are going to Barbados, people
are going to Hawaii, people are people are flying everywhere,
People were doing nice things, people were Why are all
these things happening? Yet people are supposedly hurting. Well, what
you're seeing right now is the disappearance of the middle class.
(21:17):
The middle class is being pushed down into poverty. The
reason you're still seeing people buy fancy cars and fly
on planes is because a lot of people have risen
above middle class economically and they're still spending money. I
was actually at a nice hotel, really nice hotel, for
that thing I had to go do for iHeart. The
(21:37):
reason I was gone Monday through Wednesday, the thing I
had to do with the suits. We were down in
Palm Beach and we're at this super super nice hotel.
I totally didn't belong there. We're at this really nice
hotel in the place there people all over the place,
absolutely all over the place, and we're looking around. My
wife and I were thinking what in the world. And
then talk to enough people when you figure out, well, yeah,
(21:59):
all these people they're rich. Rich people can withstand twenty
percent inflation. Rich people can withstand these things. What happens
is middle class people cannot, and so they're slashing their
standard of living and being pushed down into poverty. It
is turning into a country where there really are haves
(22:21):
and have nots. That's what inflation does. It guts the
middle class, destroys the poor, guts the middle class, and
the super rich they it doesn't affect them at all.
This goes back to what I was talking about when
I talked about COVID all the time and the lockdowns,
and why I always yelled and screamed at all the
media people who were okay with it. That's why I'm
(22:44):
very grateful that I've had a very normal life up
until the point I started doing this six six and
a half years ago, whatever it is. Because these people
would sit at home and they do TV for a living,
or they do radio like I do for a living,
or or or they're a columnist for this or anus
for that. And these people were sitting in their jammy's
doing media hits, or sitting there typing up something on
(23:06):
their laptop while they while they sit out a sun
themselves on the deck with a cappuccino, and they're telling you,
lecturing you about why you have to shut down your
business and stay home. Just stay home. It's only two weeks. Well,
you can't take off work for a month. And I
used to scream about it all the time. That's easy
for you to say you don't work by the hour,
(23:26):
you don't need time and a half. Look when we
worked construction. When I worked construction, which is the vast
majority of probably my adulthood, there were many times I
didn't just need forty hours. I really kind of needed
forty five to fifty to make ends meet because I
(23:48):
needed time and a half. Or if we were really lucky,
it depended on the jurisdiction you were in, even double
and I was surrounded by guys like that. We weren't
dying to get off of work at the end of
the day. We were hoping they kept us late because
we needed the hours. And we live in a country
that where all the people who bring you the news
they don't even know what that existence is like. That's
(24:10):
why they were all so casualble Hey, just stay home,
I selfish jerk. What And now, as the middle class
gets smashed, all the rich are still going places, still
eating fancy foods at fancy hotels in Florida, Yeah, of course,
but poor people can't afford their car. Note. Hey, Jesse,
(24:31):
I know it's asking a lot, but could you break
down in as simple way as possible what's currently going
on in the Middle East. The US is divided Iran
and supporting Christians, So it seems like there's a change
all the time. And I'm terrible in history, and I
really struggle to keep it all straight. What do we
need to know and who do we need to watch? Okay,
(24:52):
so let's have a little foreign policy talk before we
dig into what's happening in the Middle East. Because foreign
policy is an extremely, extremely complicated thing. I very rarely
will judge anyone for their foreign policy because it's one
(25:12):
of those things that's so complicated there isn't necessarily a
right answer. As I've told you before, the only foreign
policy I find completely unacceptable is chickenhawks. If you're one
of these politicians who believes in sending American boys to die,
but you yourself you're unwilling to send your sons and
daughters to die, then that I have a huge problem
(25:35):
with the Mitt Romneys of the world. That's the only
foreign policy I disagree with. Mitt Romney wants American troops
invading every inch of ground on the planet. He's got
eighty seven kids, and then they've never they've never once
served in the military. That is completely unacceptable. Looking at
a war and saying, hey, that's important. Your son better
go die there, just not mine. That's unacceptable. Okay, So
(25:57):
let's step that aside. Let's talk about foreign policy. Foreign
policy is so incredibly complicated because the politics of one
nation without any other nations involved, the politics of one
nation is extremely complicated. Let's talk about Iran for a moment,
because we're gonna make this kind of Middle East centric
(26:20):
to try to break a lot of this stuff down.
Let's talk about Iran for a moment. Now, yes, Iran
is its own country, but it's also an Islamic country. Okay,
but it only really practices one of the two sects
of Islam. There are Shiites and there are Sunnies. Iran
(26:43):
is soon there is she Heite. I'm sorry. So there
is an Islamic state all right. Now. Also on top
of being an Islamic state, they have sold themselves repeated
lee to the radical Islamists anywhere in the region. They've
(27:05):
sold themselves as being the vanguard of Islam, the protector
of Islam, the tip of the spear. You know. For years,
in decades, decades, for a long long time, the Ottoman Empire,
they really were able to do a lot of what
they were doing because they sold themselves as the protectors
of Islam. We are the protectors of Islam. We will
(27:26):
protect Islam. Islam will not be smashed. Muslims will be
safe because of us, the Ottomans. On a much smaller level,
that's what Iran does right now for so many of
the radical Islamic terrorist groups in the region. So that's
one aspect of what Iran has to do. They have
to as an Islamic country and as the vanguard of Islam,
(27:48):
they have to act as if they're protecting Islam at
all times. But wait, there's more. There's also basic power
and money at play here. The very evil men who
lead the country of Iran. Well they may be Muslim,
they maybe not. You never know what's in somebody's heart,
(28:09):
what someone truly believes. But they also are men who
like money and they like power. How do I know that?
Because all men like money and like power. It is
human nature. They want to live in palaces and fly
on private jets and smoke the finest tukahs. I don't
know if they do that, I'd just like to imagine it.
And that's what they enjoy. So there's that aspect. So
(28:30):
there's the Islamic protector aspect, there's the I like money
and power aspect to it. There's a domestic political thing
going on as well in Iran, where there are a
bunch of freedom loving people in Iran who want this
government to cast its yoke off of them so they
can be free. Iran has to worry about these people.
(28:53):
They have to worry that the revolution doesn't get too big.
Are you seeing? Now? This is just one country. This
is one country. I've spent I've spent two minutes on
one country. It's already complicated, isn't it. Wait, we have
the Islamic thing, and the money empower thing and the
people thing. We're gonna we're gonna dig into this in
a little more depth, and we'll talk about the Middle
East and some things that are happening before we do that.
(29:14):
Speaking of radical Islamic terrorism, obviously that's some not great news.
We got about the plotters of nine to eleven, and
I know a lot of people were hot about that,
and I understand that I am as well. Remember though,
that at least at least Tunnel to Towers is still
(29:35):
out there caring for those families. There are a lot
of families, a lot of gold Star families who lost
loved ones and fallen first responder families either in nine
to eleven or in the Global War on Terror after
nine to eleven. You know the organization who was there
for those families when dad didn't come home. It was
Tunnel to Towers And to this day they're helping catastrophically
(29:59):
injured veterans, fallen first responders, building smart homes, paying off
mortgages for widows and orphans. That's where your eleven dollars
a month goes. Eleven dollars a month, go to tth
number two T dot org t twot dot org. We'll
(30:19):
be back. You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Remember
you can email us love, hate, death threats Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. Guy Lady emailed in and was
(30:40):
asking about what's going on Iran Israel to try to
make some sense of it. So we're just doing a
little foreign policy discussion here, and I talked about just
the different players, a few of the different players just
with Iran, just at the country like that, Iran, what's
their foreign policy. Well, you have to play katho radical Islamis.
You have to worry about keeping your own power. If
(31:02):
you're one of the people in charge, you have to
worry about placating the people enough so that they don't
rise up in open rebellion. You have to make sure
your being as radical as the radical Islamic terrorist groups
you support demand you are. And that's just Iran. Now
let's step them aside for a moment. Let's talk about Israel.
(31:24):
Israel has a completely different problem. Israel, we don't talk
about it much now, is extremely divided domestically, politically in
a lot of similar ways that we are. They don't
just have two parties like we do either, all kinds
of divides there. We look at foreign countries, whether they
(31:47):
be allies or enemies, and we like to simplify things. Oh,
Israel stands for blank, fill in the blank, whatever that
may be. Israel has political parties too, political parties that
have different views on how to do things. Okay, so
you have that. Then October seventh happened. Now Israel is
in this situation. Israel needs to respond. The Israel decided
(32:10):
they're going to take out Hamas No more Hamas. We're
gonna invade, kill every single person in Hamas we can
possibly find. They still have our hostages. We have to
take out Hamas. Okay, well, Hamas they're funded from Iran,
so Iran is now there, and then Hezbelah is north
of Israel in Lebanon. Hezbelah is much more sophisticated and
(32:35):
well funded than Hamas, much more organized. Think of Hezbollah,
more of a standing army than a terrorist organization. Israel
is now fighting there, and then they're gonna have to
fight Hezbelah. But wait, they can't really do this alone.
Probably granted, Israel is pretty tough, but it's a really
small country. It's only eight million people. That makes it
(32:57):
even more complicated. Why up in comes the United States
of America. Well, let's talk about that. And this is
getting complicated. I know I'm doing this on purpose because
it is so complicated. There's no simple way to break
it down. Israel needs the assistance of the United States
of America if they're to fight Hamas, Hezballah, Iran, yehmen,
(33:22):
everyone else who seems to get involved. Israel needs the
United States of America, and normally Israel has the support
of the United States of America, except now ever since
Barack Obama got elected, a huge part of the Democrat
base hates Jews. You've seen this all You've seen it
all over college campus. You don't you don't need that
(33:43):
for me. Barack Obama himself hated Jews. Barack Obama himself
was raised in a Black liberation theology church. It's a
very You've heard Lewis Farri Khon. You've heard Farakhon called
jew termites, called Jews termites, and things like that. That's
Black liberation theology type stuff. Black it goes into all
(34:06):
this complicated stuff. But that's where Obama came from. American communism.
American communism is now represented in large pipe by people
who despise choose. Look, we're just talking foreign policy here.
So now, if you're a Democrat, if you're Barack Obama,
will set him aside. If you're Joe Biden, you need
(34:26):
to steal because you're so much of your fundraising base
is wealthy Jewish donors. You need to still act like
you give a crap about Israel at the same time
you're worried about making your base too mad, So then
you can't do that, so you see how complicated this is.
It's complicated. All foreign policy is complicated because of the
(34:50):
different players inside of every nation and the different motivations
of the different players inside of every nation. I broke
that down for you in a complicated way because it
is so complicated, and there's not a simple way to
give you an answer. I wish there was. And oh,
(35:13):
let me throw another little wrinkle in there. This is
the one that's really just gonna make your eyes glaze over,
and you're gonna want to move on. And I promise,
once I dropped this little turd in the punch bowl,
we are going to move on. Intelligence agencies, propaganda lies.
(35:34):
What if that's what if that terrorist who got blown
up in Tehran? What if Israel didn't do it. What
if the Iranians did it and wanted to blame it
on Israel. What if the rocket that landed in that
soccer field that killed those little Israeli kids, what if
it was some Israeli soldier playing with grenades and he
(35:57):
dropped it and blew it up. That's not what happened.
It was a rocket that came from level. But you see,
these things happen all the time lies propaganda? What if
America was involved? Do I need to remind you about
the nord Stream two pipeline. We know the truth because
the president has dementia and couldn't control himself. But remember
the reporter asks Joe Biden, Hey, what are you going
(36:20):
to do about? Oh? You have it, Chris, I'll go
and play it.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Let me answer the first question. First, if Germany, if
if Russia invades that means tanks or troops crossing the
border of Ukraine again, then there will be there will
be no longer a nord Stream two.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We will bring it into it. But how will you
how will you do that? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Since the project and control of the project is within
Germany's control, we will, I promise you, We'll be able.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
To do it. And about five minutes after that you
could hear the reporter's voice completely confused. All of a sudden,
we woke up one day and someone had blown some
big holes under the water in Nordstream two when NATO,
along with the United States military, was doing naval exercises
(37:19):
a mile from the pipeline, and we lied about it.
We said we had nothing to do about the whole thing.
In fact, we have reporting from Seymour Hirsch to this
day that says America did that we lie, lies, propaganda.
What I'm trying to say is, if you're going to
sit down and try to make simple sense of foreign
(37:40):
policy matters and wars and attacks and things, you're going
to have a long, long, long, hard road of it.
There are so many different players here, and so many
different motivations and so many different lies. Just know that
it gets confusing, all right. We have many things still
to talk about Dome. How should Trump campaigns her? And
(38:02):
you know who I was hanging out with down in Florida.
I was hanging out with Berna. You know, the non
lethal pistol launchers. You want to talk about, people who
are passionate about what they do. And it was amazing.
We were sitting at a table. It was me, I
don't want to give out his name, said, didn't ask
him before him. It was me, the burn A guy,
his lovely bride, and then a bunch of other people,
(38:24):
bunch of couples at our table, and the Burna guys
starts talking about what it is. And there were three
different women at my table who are completely uncomfortable with firearms.
By the time we were done with dinner. They were
all on their phones ordering a BURNA non lethal pepper
balls or tear gas balls. I carry both. I love
(38:46):
lethal and non lethal. You want to stop a very
bad man, you don't even have to shoot accurately. Do
you know that it's part of the beauty of it.
Cops will shoot it on the ground if a guy's
hiding behind something. You want to save your life, the
life of someone you love. Get a burn, A pistol
launcher for the person you love. B y RNA bernad
