Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. Is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a wild Tuesday.
Missiles are flying, strikes are happening, but we are going
to pause all of those things, including hurricane aftermath and more,
(00:32):
and let's discuss vance versus walls. Now. The debate is
two hours from now. I personally I've set aside any
of these crazy notions of having a debate party because
I am too stupid to be able to multitask. My
brain doesn't work that way. People talk to me during
(00:55):
these things, and then I can't hear what's being said,
and I want to see nerd out. So I'm gonna
watch with the wife and my two sons, and even
they will talk too much, but I can't exactly tell
them not to ask questions. I'm trying to get them interest.
But I'll be watching then. Oh I should note you
don't have to wait until tomorrow night if you want
to watch my reaction to it. I am going to
(01:18):
do a live on YouTube right after it's over. It's
gonna be fast, five ten minutes, just quick reaction. So
whenever the debate is over, YouTube dot Com slash Jesse
Kelly DC, you'll see me on there anyway. I'll go
do a lie. But the Walls Dance debate is tonight now.
(01:40):
One thing I don't want to oversell is the importance
of it. I don't want to undersell the importance of
it either, but I don't want to oversell the importance
of it. Will political people be watching, yes, Will just
norms and normas be watching? Yeah, of course they will.
Yeah they will. Are they going to watch for a
long time?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Historically the VP debates have not been massive game changers
one way or the other, whether we win them or
lose them. We all remember that useless loser Paul Ryan
getting his teeth kicked in by Joe Biden in a debate,
you know. But other than things like that, they don't
tend to stand out for us. But it matters to
(02:22):
me for a variety of reasons. It probably matters to
you for a variety of reasons. One, I'm a political nerd.
I understand the stakes of the game. You're a political nerd.
You understand the stakes we're dealing with here, and the
stakes are high. Here's a headline, the Great Walls of
China Oversight that would be House oversight demands, DHS documents
(02:46):
on dem VP nominate nominees, ties to the CCP. You
see Tim Walls brags. He probably overexaggerated this now, but
he brags that he's been to China thirty times. The
career teacher, the career government employee, has been to China
thirty times. That's before we get to the debate. Let's
(03:11):
discuss that for a moment. Have you been anywhere thirty times?
I have never been anywhere outside of Red Lobster thirty
times in my entire life. I'm talking about foreign countries.
Nowhere even close to that. Maybe Mexico. I think I've
(03:32):
been to four or five times, and it's by far
the leader. Yeah, it's good point, Chris, and we're like
one hundred miles away from it. It's right next door.
And I've been four or five times in my life.
Who goes to China thirty times? Okay, Now, let's just
set aside the horrible suspiciousness of that. You understand how
(03:54):
intelligence works, how blackmail works. It's not just something that
happens in the movies. This is something we know now
through years and years and honestly through the centuries. This
is how black bail has oftentimes worked. You walk into
a foreign land, they keep an eye on you. They
(04:15):
keep a close eye on you. It's not because they
know you're going to do something wrong. It's because, in
the event you do do something wrong, they prefer to
have a record of it, just in case it comes
in handy for them somewhere down the road, especially nations
(04:35):
that are hostile to us, especially countries obsessed with or
as obsessed with surveillance as China, as the Communist Party
of China is. What I'm telling you is this, if I,
Jesse Kelly, now, I can't ever visit China because they
want to murder me there. The whole Communist Party is
not happy with me over there. I should note, Yeah, Christy,
(04:58):
their state media has even run ourticles about how hateful
I am, and so I can't visit China or they'll
just probably kill me or throw me in prison anyway.
But what's that, Chris. Yeah, when I discussed the American
troops sitting on a throne of Chinese skulls, I will
admit that didn't land well in the Chinese government. It
did not, anyway, So let's pretend like I wasn't on
(05:20):
the outs with China. Let's just pretend on me, just
Jesse Kelly, if I go over there enough times, they're
going to make contact with me. They're going to know
I've gone over there enough times. It's going to be
in their records. They're going to make contact with me.
They're going to start to watch me. They're going to
(05:42):
possibly bug me, record me audio video wise. Now, let's
discuss this. Tim Walls m is odd. Isn't he any
reasonable person who's seen how he speaks? His weird frenetic
(06:03):
hand motions, He shook his hand, he shook hands with
his wife when she greeted him on stage, didn't hugger,
didn't kiss her, shook her hand first, and then they
realized how awkward it was, and they had the most
uncomfortable looking embrace ever. Tim Walls is odd. I'll leave
(06:24):
it at that. Is odd, a very odd human being.
Do you think Tim Walls thirty times visiting China? Do
you think he spent all of his time eating egg rolls? Chris?
I didn't, Chris, Chris said yes, Why don't you grow up? Chris? Anyway?
(06:49):
Do you think maybe in thirty visits to China, Look,
this is a serious conversation. We're not doing gossip magazine stuff.
This stuff has national, international implications. Do you I think
in Tim Walls's thirty times visiting China, do you think
maybe he ever did something he wouldn't want everyone to know?
(07:11):
I don't know what that's something maybe, and I'm really
not I don't have any idea. I don't know how
bad the drug problem is there. I know it's there.
I think Tim Walls ever spent a couple hours in
an opium? Then did Tim Walls ever step into a
palas of ill repute? Do you think the Chinese government
(07:35):
has damaging information on Tim Walls? Of course they do.
The dude already has a dui here? What did he
do in all that time in China? Do you think
the Communist Party of China has damaging information on Tim Walls?
It's just a very frank cush. Do you believe that
I do spend that much time in another country, which
(07:55):
that in and of itself is weird. They have damaging
information on Tim? Now if the Chinese have damaging information
on Tim Walls, and Tim Walls happens to become Vice
president of the United States of America and China gives
old Timmy a call. It makes a fairly simple request.
(08:20):
Hey Tim, not asking for anything major here, but we
are gonna need from you. We're gonna need the location
of the fleet in the Pacific. Hey Tim, there are
some nuclear sites we haven't been able to locate in
the continental US. Pass that info along to us, please,
(08:42):
Hey Tim, we are thinking about invading Taiwan. If we
do so, we're gonna want to hit America with a
little emp to fry out just the right amount of
power grids. Hey Tim, we think we have a good
map of where they are. But you are the vice president.
You have access to all this information. Why don't you
go ahead and send us a full list. Oh and Tim,
(09:05):
if you don't do this, if you don't click forward
on that little email, well there's gonna be some pictures
or video hitting the interwebs you're not gonna be happy with.
It's how espionage works, political influence. That's how it's always worked.
It scares me to know that that human being might
(09:26):
be close to the White House. How often have we
talked about the Biden family alone? Joe Biden and more
specifically his son Hunter and apparently every member of the
Biden extended family having huge financial ties to China is
not a small deal. It's a really, really, really big deal,
(09:50):
especially when you marry that with things like, oh, I
don't know, the US military detecting a Chinese spy balloon
over Alaska. The Biden administration allowed it to traverse the
entirety of the United States of America from Alaska to
the Atlantic. I need to remind you. It did figure
(10:12):
eights over the top of our military bases, gathering all
the intel it could. Biden refused to shoot it down
and to it had completed its mission and was over
the Atlantic Ocean. That's the kind of thing that happens
in peacetime when your president is compromised by your mortal
(10:32):
enemy in China. We're going to do this a second time.
So anyway, I got sidetracked with Tim wall stuff. Let's
go to the debate thing and why I'm excited, hopeful,
and very very nervous. I will explain in a moment.
You know, there are days when I have to explain
(10:54):
what's happening in Israel, what it's like over there, and
then there are days like today where I think you
pretty much get the message. The rockets are raining down,
the people are in bomb shelters, praying they live to
see the sunrise. The IFCJ is still there. They're still
(11:15):
there providing everything they can, food, water, bomb shelters, flack jackets.
As this whole spicy affair kicks off. It's the IFCJ,
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that will be
there trying to care for the Israeli people as they
(11:35):
suffer like a nation going through war. Help them call
them eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ, or go
to support IFCJ dot org. More debate talk next the
Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse kellyshow
(11:57):
dot com. It is thee Kelly Show on a Tuesday. Remembery,
you can email the show Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com.
You can leave us a voicemail at eight seven seven
three seven seven four three seven three. Now along our
continuing theme for the Night of wins can be losses, eventually,
(12:21):
let's talk about this. Vance is going to debate Tim
Walls about an hour and a half from now, a
little bit more than an hour and a half from now,
and there are two things that make me extremely nervous
about it. One of them is this, I'm very confident.
I'm absurdly confident in Vance. And I've seen Walls, I've
seen him debate, I've looked through I know I'm a nerd.
(12:43):
I've looked through old footage of him debating. He's not
very good, and Walls rarely gets challenged. And Vance. Look,
I was actually talking to a GOP activist in Minnesota yesterday.
He said, if you could build the kind of guy
who would get under Walls's skin, it would be JD. Vance. JD.
Vance will be happy, but he will take shots shots
(13:06):
that Walls doesn't want to have to take shots that
Walls probably won't handle well. Walls is well known to
have an anger problem. Anyway, all these things look everything
looks good for Vance. And that's what makes me nervous
because every time this happens in politics, every single time,
every time I'm looking at a race or a debate beforehand,
(13:28):
and I've convinced myself we can't lose. Every single time
we end up losing. You remember the midterms, I predicted
we were gonna pick up forty seats, and I swore
to you i'd shaven a mustache. If we didn't. And
we didn't and I had to shave in a mustache,
my wife wouldn't touch me for a week. I've gone
through this before. Remember the last debate Trump Kamala where
(13:49):
we sat here, and we sat here the night of
the debate and we said, I don't see how Trump
could lose. She's such a moron. She doesn't know any
of the issues. She can't even speak. Trump knows all
the issues. He's really great on his feet. It's gonna
bring a great night for us. Whoo and what did
we get? Well, my dad didn't leave me that much money.
And there's lots of people at my rallies. Okay, every
(14:12):
time I get over confident, it doesn't go our way.
Now there's another thing that makes me nervous. Back to
the winds become losses. Remember when Donald Trump just slaughtered
Joe Biden in that debate. I know you remember it.
It was politically one of the most joyful, hilarious nights
(14:34):
of my life. I watched every minute of the debate.
Joe Biden was so bad. Everyone knew it was bad.
My son's now they're getting better about world issues and politics.
But they don't even know what they're looking at yet
they knew in five minutes, Dad, what's wrong with him? Dad?
He looks terrible talking about Biden. And then the post debate,
I went to bed. I don't go I don't stay
(14:56):
up late. I think I went to bed at midnight
or one a that night. Why what was I doing?
Was I having a rager? I couldn't turn CNN off.
They were crying on camera about what happened, about how
bad it was for Joe Biden. I don't really have
Democrat friends, a couple Democrat acquaintances, but I do have
(15:18):
a lot of political friends who have Democrat friends. And
I told you that night they were texting me. Democrats
were turning it off a half hour into it and
getting drunk. They were so depressed, so angry. That night
was cataclysmic for Democrats. It was apocalyptic. It was Heroshima
for Democrats. It wounded them that badly. They watched their
(15:39):
nominee for president destroy end his political career, and in
their minds, they watched him lose the election. It was
it was look as joyful as that night was for you.
That's how much that night hurt for them, and we celebrated,
didn't we I celebrated. I was up with ob for
hours and hours and hours, both of us way past
(16:00):
our bedtime, just watching. Oh my gosh, look I'm at
they are. It's a huge win, wasn't it? What a win?
But wins can become losses, you see, because if you're
hosting a debate, we all know the Republicans are two
weeks stupid and useless to ever get a decent moderator
(16:23):
for the debate. So every debate is going to be
on NBC, ABCCBS, CNN. They'll only walk into hostile territory.
They'll only deal with communist journalists. Now, if you are
one of those communist news networks or communist journalists, you
have been given instructions, and your instructions, while they may
(16:47):
be more detailed than this, your instructions from this point
until the end of time are going to be this.
Don't you dare let happen what happened during that Joe
Biden Donald Trump debate. Moderators and networks have been given
in the most specific, emphatic instructions you could possibly give,
(17:13):
and they will be given those instructions every single presidential
election cycle. The Biden Trump debate. That win for US
will reverberate for decades in communist circles, moderators and networks
will be told in no uncertain terms, don't you dare
(17:35):
allow our candidate to go on stage again and destroy
us and destroy his career. You better bend over backwards,
sacrifice your reputation, do whatever you have to do to
make sure that never happens again. In the wake of
(17:56):
horrible tragedy like that for them, you make adjustments and
again after that huge win, remember the ABC debate. Yeah,
Trump didn't have his best night, but between David Mirror
and Lindsay Lip injections, the most biased debate I've ever
seen in my life, and I've seen bias debates. Why
(18:18):
was it so biased Because David and Lindsey Lips they
were both told, don't you dare pull a Jake Tapper
or a Dana Bash. You better pray. Kamala Harris walks
off this stage looking good. And that's how they acted.
And that brings us to tonight. Hang on the Jesse
(18:39):
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Tuesday. Now,
let's just finish up this talk really quickly. On the
debate because I'm going to do some emails before i
get back to the hurricane flooding stuff. There's just so
much we have to tackle tonight. They know they're already
down to you know, said the moderators are going to
(19:01):
be uniquely biased. They know they're down. This was senator
former Senator mccaskell, Claire mccaskell, Missouri. She's a total nutbag,
but this is what she went on TV and said.
I've end of the debate.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm just a little worried about the expectations game at
his point. I think people, yes, Jadie Vance has said
some really I think disqualifying things about women and how
he views people and their role in life. But he
will be articulate, and he will be prepared, and he
will be better than Trump was. And I think it's
(19:38):
it's really going to be a challenge for Tim Walls
to be able to counter what he is going to
bring at the same time stay really likable and relatable,
and then also instill confidence in the American people that
he's the better one to be in the wings in
case something were to happen to the president. So I
(20:00):
just think we need the lower expectations a little bit,
because then we can all be pleasantly surprised if I'm
wrong and that Tim Walls just mops the floor with him,
the same way Kamala Harris mops the floor with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Okay, so mccaskell, the Democrats, they agree with me. It
all looks on paper like jd Vance is going to
just punt Tim Walls through the goalposts tonight. The moderators
know that too, and the moderators know the network knows
(20:36):
they will be destroyed by the system. There will be
consequences if Tim Walls looks too bad tonight. Why because
of the Biden Trump debate. The Biden Trump debate will
be forgotten by the right a lot sooner than it
(20:56):
will ever be forgotten by the left. The left will
remember that pain, they will remember that night, and they
will bend over backwards to make sure that never ever
happens again. That's what makes me nervous. Now, Look, jd Vance,
you know how hard I am on politicians on our
own side too. I just am Jady Vance has been
(21:21):
awesome on the campaign. It's been awesome on message, happy warrior,
he's been great, great energy, he's a great debater what
he's he a Yale guy and one of these times
this is a great debater. He just knows what he's doing.
I saw his debate against I think it was Miller,
Tim Miller, Ohio when he was in that Senate race.
Just crushed him, just absolutely crushed him. His timing is
(21:42):
really good. Debates are about this is why. This is
really what makes some people great debaters and not and
debate prep. Yes, it's important, it's important you know the issues,
but what I'm about to say is oftentimes something you
can't teach. Again, back to the other continuing theme for tonight,
taking the temperature of the room. When do you strike,
(22:07):
When do you stay silent? When do you parry? Those
are important things. They will give, they will leave themselves openings.
And if you time it right, if you can think
on your feet in that way and avoid getting too
deep in your emotions, you can knife them right when
(22:27):
the time is right, right, when the time is right.
I uh, let's talk about me for a minute. It's
all about me. Of course. Back when I was running
in that GOP primary, my first ever congressional run I
was in, we had all these GOP primary debates and
one of them was huge. It was the one so
all the GOP voters everyone was tuning in, and there
(22:50):
were a few of us on stage, and it was
me and you know, the more establishment type guy, and
everyone knew I was the firebrand, the hardcore right wing.
But I loved debates. I love them. People get nervous
for them. They're my favorite thing in the world. I
enjoy fighting, I enjoy the crowd. I wanted to fight,
(23:13):
and my timing was always what saved me in the debates.
It was never that I knew more about the issues.
I didn't know more about the issues. I knew the issues,
but it was never that I knew more about the
issues than the establishment guy. He'd been in an elected
office for a decade or something like that. I didn't
know all the issues, all the numbers, dollars and cents
things that he knew. But what I did better than him,
(23:36):
better than all of them up there, is I timed
it right. We were only allowed a few challenges in
one of our debates. I actually think this video is
still online somewhere. I should dig it up. But we
were only allowed a couple rebuttals in our debates. And
once you used them. I think it was one or two.
Once you used them, you couldn't use them anymore. Well,
people get nervous in the debates, and so they used
(23:56):
all theirs up early on. And I was just waiting,
and I was just waiting, and I was just waiting,
and I was just hoping that he the main opponent
of mine, the establishment guy. I was waiting and hoping
he would leave me an opening with something he said
he would expose, and I just held onto mine. I
think there was like ten minutes left in the debate,
(24:17):
and I forget what it was he said, but he
might as well have just opened up his chest and said,
stab me Jesse, because he laid himself out and I
destroyed him. The crowd went on their feet, they took
a straw pull after I slaughtered him. Absolutely, it was
in that moment you time it right. And that's what jd.
Vance does very very well. When do you block, when
(24:39):
do you perry? When do you attack again? I'm getting
myself all hyped up for tonight, and I shouldn't, because
that's always when I get disappointed. I think it's gonna
be a good night. All right, Let's move on, Let's
do some emails because I want to talk about some
hurricane flood stuff and do some other things during the show.
Dear tiny hands Jesse, you know you guys are not nice.
I live in Red, Ohio, but school districts are trying
(25:01):
to remove life Wise religious instruction as an option for students.
I moved to a red area because a suburb of
Columbus was turning from red to purple to blue. Anyways,
some group tried to remove life Wise from our schools
a while back, and our very conservative school boards shut
them down, and we still have Life Wise. Local power matters.
(25:27):
I miss parts of life in Columbus, but life is
way better in my red area. Anyways, wanted to tell
this story as an example of how local power matters.
His name is John. Local power is everything. No matter
what happens with the docs and the money and the
war and the immigration, in all things, no matter what
(25:49):
comes for us, you will be better off if your
community and on a larger scale, your state are four
to five against the communist menace and you are the
one who can fortify it again. No matter what. Maybe
maybe we'll get this whole band back together again and
(26:12):
we'll get things straightened out in this country. And if
we do that, then if you have done the work,
and you've taken back your community, your school board, your city,
your county, your state, then you'll be even better than
everyone else. And maybe maybe we will not fix anything.
Everything the history of the world says we likely will not.
That's not something that happens when when empires begin to die,
(26:35):
they don't generally right the ship. But if that happens,
if the Titanic really sinks beneath the waves, you will
be so much better off right now if you fortify
your area against whatever comes. We are going to get
into some flood hurricane stuff here in a minute, and
(26:57):
back to taking the temperature of the room thing. But
along those lines, I'm gathering as many stories and emails
and things like that as humanly possible. And you know,
a consistent theme I have seen from North Carolina, from
Tennessee where all this devastation is. This wasn't even government,
It was a natural disaster. The people who had community
(27:20):
fared so much better than those who did not. Asheville
Blue run Communist run dump, which used to be a
sweet place, I should know, but Blue Run Dump complete
anarchy disaster. The more red areas where there was a
strong community. They're helping each other, supporting each other. That's
(27:42):
where we have to focus. All right, let's discuss all
that in a moment. Before we do that, let's discuss well,
real estate, you see, hard assets. I just had a
chance to talk to Carol Roth again the other day,
and she was talking about the debt, the debt crisis
that is here. It's not coming, it's here. We're in
(28:03):
the early stages of it. Carol, what do you do?
What do you do? What do you do? She said, well,
you do what all the big finance finance giants are doing,
what the nations are doing. They're buying up real estate,
They're buying up precious medals, and they're buying up land, land,
real estate, precious metals, land, real estate, precious metals. Because
those things span the test of time. Those things will
(28:24):
be around for ages. If you buy a home, it
never drops to zero. It may go up, that mago down,
it never drops to zero. Can you say that about
your dollar done for you? Real estate They can build
you a portfolio that generates tax free, consistent income over time.
(28:45):
You retire on it, leave it to your kids, go
to Donefujesse dot com to learn more, and also you
get a free copy of their new book Micro Wins
to Millions Done for you. Jess dot Com used the
promo code Jesse to get your book. We'll be back.
(29:07):
You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a Tuesday, A huge
Tuesday debate starts a little bit more than an hour
from now. World War three probably starts five minutes after that.
People are still trying to put their lives together in
North Carolina and Tennessee. We'll talk about that in a moment.
(29:29):
And nothing is coming into ports on the entire Eastern
seaboard other than that, nothing going on on this October
first in the United States of America. Now, let's talk
just for a couple of minutes about the hurricane disaster
relief stuff. So I told you I was going to
dig and I was going to give you something something.
(29:50):
Most of you were already going to know this, but
I was going to try to find something, a place
where you can go to give and help. Here's where
I gave. I'll give you two things. I gave to
Samaritan's Purse also, Glenn Beck's Mercury one is amazing. Mercuryon
(30:16):
dot org is amazing. The Glenn's been doing this kind
of stuff for a very very long time. That's where
I would go if I were you, Samaritan's Purse or
Mercury one, mercurywe dot org. If you have the means,
if you want to do something, whether it's a dollar
or whatever, that's where I would go to do. So again,
(30:39):
let me remind you the nonprofit world, the charity world,
it is dirty. It's full of all kinds of filth.
It's full of people who rip you off. The money
doesn't go where you want it to go, and so
(30:59):
just be careful with your money. And I got this email.
I wanted to clarify something here because a lot of
this is charity CEO salary. That's the title of this cemail.
And this can get confusing. So here's what the guy says. Jesse,
longtime supporter of Saint Jude Hospital, started looking at the
salary of the CEOs. Saint Jude's CEO is one point
(31:21):
three million shiners, is one point one million Samaritans Purse.
That's Franklin Graham eight eighty k wounded Warrior for eighty
eight Tunnel to Towers zero dollars. Gosh, I love Tunnel
to Towers, of course, zero dollars. Jesse to the President
of the United States makes four hundred k. What makes
these CEOs worth that much money? I know you're a
(31:42):
busy guy. Check out the charities. Okay, So I understand,
I understand when you give to a charity, and I'm
not actually selling you on any of those. In fact,
I hate most of the ones you just laid out there.
They have great reputations they don't deserve. But so I'm
not defending those specifically. But I will say this charity
rating websites are actually more important than the salary of
(32:07):
the CEO. Not everyone's going to be Tunnel to Towers,
where they just simply unload every dime of the Tunnel
to Towers is unique. Tunnel to Towers and Pure Talk
are unique. That's why I loved them so much. That's
why I adore them. Pure Talk's the same way money
goes to the babies. I must say, babies, you give
to pure talk or not pure talk? Preborn, I'm sorry.
(32:28):
Preborn's the same way preborn Tunnel to Towers same thing.
Money gets to the babies at preborn money gets to
the families and tunnel to towers. But let's set those aside,
because those are the ones that you know I already
have an affinity for. If the CEO of the charity
you're giving to makes a lot of money, that's not
always a bad sign. Sometimes it is. Allow me to explain.
(32:53):
If I start at charity and it's just me and
Jewish Chris, he'll handle the accounting, I don't need to
make much money, because how hard is it. I'm alone.
All I have is Chris to worry about. I have
one employee. We can't do very much because it's just
(33:15):
two of us. We can raise some money, we'll distribute
some things, but I don't need to be a very
capable person to manage a charity of that size. But
if you get into a large charity, a very very
large charity, and again I'm not defending all these salaries.
Some of them may be egregious and horrible. I'm not
(33:37):
defending that. But if you get into a large organization,
let's say Jesse's charity, which I would probably name my charity.
Jesse does wonderful things for people, that's the name of
my charity. So if Jesse does wonderful things to people,
if it becomes a thousand person operation, a thousand people,
(33:59):
and let's just say I can't run it, I have
to hire somebody to run it. Well, I need a
highly capable human being to organize, to implement a vision.
To be the CEO of a thousand person company, even
a charity is a big deal with a lot of responsibility,
(34:21):
and I need a capable human being to do the job.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Ideally, if we lived in this perfect world of rainbow
and unicorns, ideally I would find someone who's highly capable
who wants to do it for free. But that's not
how life actually works. Do you like to do a
bunch of things for free? You can't find a person
who's going to manage a thousand person organization for free.
(34:48):
So me, the head of Jesse Kelly does wonderful things
for people the name of the charity, I have to
go find what I have to go. Find a CEO
who can hand a company of that size, and a
CEO who can handle a company of that size is
gonna need to be paid. And if I don't pay him,
(35:10):
I either found a saint or a moron, and there
aren't a lot of saints. There are a lot of morons.
So just by its size, a charity might need to
pay a ridiculous amount of money to the CEO. Nobody
wants to hear that. Everyone wants the tunnel to Towers
(35:30):
model where they don't take a time. But in reality,
charities are organizations too. Lots of them are scammers, as
I've explained, but charities are organizations too. And if you're
trying to find a man to take command of a
thousand people, you're gonna have to find the kind of guy.
You're gonna have to pay a Spottom line, all right,
So yes, CEO salary, the salary of the of the CEO.
(35:55):
It does matter. I'm not saying just dismiss it at all.
But charity rating websites are better than just looking at
the CEO. And I don't want to give you a
specific charity rating website because I don't trust those either.
There are several, and whenever Chris and I are interested
(36:15):
in something and we're looking something up, we look at
several because I wouldn't trust one. If there's one, I
assume that charity bought it, and he's given him a
good rating. Look, I'm a naturally cynical and suspicious person.
Go look at charity rating websites. Go look at them
and look. I know you'll be able to get access
to those websites because you're probably looking on your Puretalk
(36:36):
phone right now, aren't you. You know Puretalk speaking of charity.
You know puretalks ceo. I'm gonna get in trouble for this.
You know their CEO was macv SOG. Do you remember
the history episode I did on MACVSG the super stud
(37:01):
green Beret Navy seal types in Vietnam behind enemy lines,
the just the biggest studs in the world. That guy
runs Pure Talk. Why do you think they hire Americans?
Why do you think their charity? Speaking of charity is
all about veterans, getting them back on their feet, getting
them healthcare, getting them what they need. That's the kind
(37:23):
of company I stand behind. That's the kind of company
I want to support. And I pay half of what
I was paying with T Mobile. Switch to Pure Talk.
Pick up your phone dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money pound two
five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. Switch to pure talk. We'll
(37:46):
be back.
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. Is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on a wild Tuesday.
Missiles are flying, strikes are happening, but we are going
to pause all of those things, including hurricane aftermath and more,
(00:32):
and let's discuss vance versus walls. Now. The debate is
two hours from now. I personally I've set aside any
of these crazy notions of having a debate party because
I am too stupid to be able to multitask. My
brain doesn't work that way. People talk to me during
(00:55):
these things, and then I can't hear what's being said,
and I want to see nerd out. So I'm gonna
watch with the wife and my two sons, and even
they will talk too much, but I can't exactly tell
them not to ask questions. I'm trying to get them interest.
But I'll be watching then. Oh I should note you
don't have to wait until tomorrow night if you want
to watch my reaction to it. I am going to
(01:18):
do a live on YouTube right after it's over. It's
gonna be fast, five ten minutes, just quick reaction. So
whenever the debate is over, YouTube dot Com slash Jesse
Kelly DC, you'll see me on there anyway. I'll go
do a lie. But the Walls Dance debate is tonight now.
(01:40):
One thing I don't want to oversell is the importance
of it. I don't want to undersell the importance of
it either, but I don't want to oversell the importance
of it. Will political people be watching, yes, Will just
norms and normas be watching? Yeah, of course they will.
Yeah they will. Are they going to watch for a
long time?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Historically the VP debates have not been massive game changers
one way or the other, whether we win them or
lose them. We all remember that useless loser Paul Ryan
getting his teeth kicked in by Joe Biden in a debate,
you know. But other than things like that, they don't
tend to stand out for us. But it matters to
(02:22):
me for a variety of reasons. It probably matters to
you for a variety of reasons. One, I'm a political nerd.
I understand the stakes of the game. You're a political nerd.
You understand the stakes we're dealing with here, and the
stakes are high. Here's a headline, the Great Walls of
China Oversight that would be House oversight demands, DHS documents
(02:46):
on dem VP nominate nominees, ties to the CCP. You
see Tim Walls brags. He probably overexaggerated this now, but
he brags that he's been to China thirty times. The
career teacher, the career government employee, has been to China
thirty times. That's before we get to the debate. Let's
(03:11):
discuss that for a moment. Have you been anywhere thirty times?
I have never been anywhere outside of Red Lobster thirty
times in my entire life. I'm talking about foreign countries.
Nowhere even close to that. Maybe Mexico. I think I've
(03:32):
been to four or five times, and it's by far
the leader. Yeah, it's good point, Chris, and we're like
one hundred miles away from it. It's right next door.
And I've been four or five times in my life.
Who goes to China thirty times? Okay, Now, let's just
set aside the horrible suspiciousness of that. You understand how
(03:54):
intelligence works, how blackmail works. It's not just something that
happens in the movies. This is something we know now
through years and years and honestly through the centuries. This
is how black bail has oftentimes worked. You walk into
a foreign land, they keep an eye on you. They
(04:15):
keep a close eye on you. It's not because they
know you're going to do something wrong. It's because, in
the event you do do something wrong, they prefer to
have a record of it, just in case it comes
in handy for them somewhere down the road, especially nations
(04:35):
that are hostile to us, especially countries obsessed with or
as obsessed with surveillance as China, as the Communist Party
of China is. What I'm telling you is this, if I,
Jesse Kelly, now, I can't ever visit China because they
want to murder me there. The whole Communist Party is
not happy with me over there. I should note, Yeah, Christy,
(04:58):
their state media has even run ourticles about how hateful
I am, and so I can't visit China or they'll
just probably kill me or throw me in prison anyway.
But what's that, Chris. Yeah, when I discussed the American
troops sitting on a throne of Chinese skulls, I will
admit that didn't land well in the Chinese government. It
did not, anyway, So let's pretend like I wasn't on
(05:20):
the outs with China. Let's just pretend on me, just
Jesse Kelly, if I go over there enough times, they're
going to make contact with me. They're going to know
I've gone over there enough times. It's going to be
in their records. They're going to make contact with me.
They're going to start to watch me. They're going to
(05:42):
possibly bug me, record me audio video wise. Now, let's
discuss this. Tim Walls m is odd. Isn't he any
reasonable person who's seen how he speaks? His weird frenetic
(06:03):
hand motions, He shook his hand, he shook hands with
his wife when she greeted him on stage, didn't hugger,
didn't kiss her, shook her hand first, and then they
realized how awkward it was, and they had the most
uncomfortable looking embrace ever. Tim Walls is odd. I'll leave
(06:24):
it at that. Is odd, a very odd human being.
Do you think Tim Walls thirty times visiting China? Do
you think he spent all of his time eating egg rolls? Chris?
I didn't, Chris, Chris said yes, Why don't you grow up? Chris? Anyway?
(06:49):
Do you think maybe in thirty visits to China, Look,
this is a serious conversation. We're not doing gossip magazine stuff.
This stuff has national, international implications. Do you I think
in Tim Walls's thirty times visiting China, do you think
maybe he ever did something he wouldn't want everyone to know?
(07:11):
I don't know what that's something maybe, and I'm really
not I don't have any idea. I don't know how
bad the drug problem is there. I know it's there.
I think Tim Walls ever spent a couple hours in
an opium? Then did Tim Walls ever step into a
palas of ill repute? Do you think the Chinese government
(07:35):
has damaging information on Tim Walls? Of course they do.
The dude already has a dui here? What did he
do in all that time in China? Do you think
the Communist Party of China has damaging information on Tim Walls?
It's just a very frank cush. Do you believe that
I do spend that much time in another country, which
(07:55):
that in and of itself is weird. They have damaging
information on Tim? Now if the Chinese have damaging information
on Tim Walls, and Tim Walls happens to become Vice
president of the United States of America and China gives
old Timmy a call. It makes a fairly simple request.
(08:20):
Hey Tim, not asking for anything major here, but we
are gonna need from you. We're gonna need the location
of the fleet in the Pacific. Hey Tim, there are
some nuclear sites we haven't been able to locate in
the continental US. Pass that info along to us, please,
(08:42):
Hey Tim, we are thinking about invading Taiwan. If we
do so, we're gonna want to hit America with a
little emp to fry out just the right amount of
power grids. Hey Tim, we think we have a good
map of where they are. But you are the vice president.
You have access to all this information. Why don't you
go ahead and send us a full list. Oh and Tim,
(09:05):
if you don't do this, if you don't click forward
on that little email, well there's gonna be some pictures
or video hitting the interwebs you're not gonna be happy with.
It's how espionage works, political influence. That's how it's always worked.
It scares me to know that that human being might
(09:26):
be close to the White House. How often have we
talked about the Biden family alone? Joe Biden and more
specifically his son Hunter and apparently every member of the
Biden extended family having huge financial ties to China is
not a small deal. It's a really, really, really big deal,
(09:50):
especially when you marry that with things like, oh, I
don't know, the US military detecting a Chinese spy balloon
over Alaska. The Biden administration allowed it to traverse the
entirety of the United States of America from Alaska to
the Atlantic. I need to remind you. It did figure
(10:12):
eights over the top of our military bases, gathering all
the intel it could. Biden refused to shoot it down
and to it had completed its mission and was over
the Atlantic Ocean. That's the kind of thing that happens
in peacetime when your president is compromised by your mortal
(10:32):
enemy in China. We're going to do this a second time.
So anyway, I got sidetracked with Tim wall stuff. Let's
go to the debate thing and why I'm excited, hopeful,
and very very nervous. I will explain in a moment.
You know, there are days when I have to explain
(10:54):
what's happening in Israel, what it's like over there, and
then there are days like today where I think you
pretty much get the message. The rockets are raining down,
the people are in bomb shelters, praying they live to
see the sunrise. The IFCJ is still there. They're still
(11:15):
there providing everything they can, food, water, bomb shelters, flack jackets.
As this whole spicy affair kicks off. It's the IFCJ,
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that will be
there trying to care for the Israeli people as they
(11:35):
suffer like a nation going through war. Help them call
them eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ, or go
to support IFCJ dot org. More debate talk next the
Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at Jesse kellyshow
(11:57):
dot com. It is thee Kelly Show on a Tuesday. Remembery,
you can email the show Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com.
You can leave us a voicemail at eight seven seven
three seven seven four three seven three. Now along our
continuing theme for the Night of wins can be losses, eventually,
(12:21):
let's talk about this. Vance is going to debate Tim
Walls about an hour and a half from now, a
little bit more than an hour and a half from now,
and there are two things that make me extremely nervous
about it. One of them is this, I'm very confident.
I'm absurdly confident in Vance. And I've seen Walls, I've
seen him debate, I've looked through I know I'm a nerd.
(12:43):
I've looked through old footage of him debating. He's not
very good, and Walls rarely gets challenged. And Vance. Look,
I was actually talking to a GOP activist in Minnesota yesterday.
He said, if you could build the kind of guy
who would get under Walls's skin, it would be JD. Vance. JD.
Vance will be happy, but he will take shots shots
(13:06):
that Walls doesn't want to have to take shots that
Walls probably won't handle well. Walls is well known to
have an anger problem. Anyway, all these things look everything
looks good for Vance. And that's what makes me nervous
because every time this happens in politics, every single time,
every time I'm looking at a race or a debate beforehand,
(13:28):
and I've convinced myself we can't lose. Every single time
we end up losing. You remember the midterms, I predicted
we were gonna pick up forty seats, and I swore
to you i'd shaven a mustache. If we didn't. And
we didn't and I had to shave in a mustache,
my wife wouldn't touch me for a week. I've gone
through this before. Remember the last debate Trump Kamala where
(13:49):
we sat here, and we sat here the night of
the debate and we said, I don't see how Trump
could lose. She's such a moron. She doesn't know any
of the issues. She can't even speak. Trump knows all
the issues. He's really great on his feet. It's gonna
bring a great night for us. Whoo and what did
we get? Well, my dad didn't leave me that much money.
And there's lots of people at my rallies. Okay, every
(14:12):
time I get over confident, it doesn't go our way.
Now there's another thing that makes me nervous. Back to
the winds become losses. Remember when Donald Trump just slaughtered
Joe Biden in that debate. I know you remember it.
It was politically one of the most joyful, hilarious nights
(14:34):
of my life. I watched every minute of the debate.
Joe Biden was so bad. Everyone knew it was bad.
My son's now they're getting better about world issues and politics.
But they don't even know what they're looking at yet
they knew in five minutes, Dad, what's wrong with him? Dad?
He looks terrible talking about Biden. And then the post debate,
I went to bed. I don't go I don't stay
(14:56):
up late. I think I went to bed at midnight
or one a that night. Why what was I doing?
Was I having a rager? I couldn't turn CNN off.
They were crying on camera about what happened, about how
bad it was for Joe Biden. I don't really have
Democrat friends, a couple Democrat acquaintances, but I do have
(15:18):
a lot of political friends who have Democrat friends. And
I told you that night they were texting me. Democrats
were turning it off a half hour into it and
getting drunk. They were so depressed, so angry. That night
was cataclysmic for Democrats. It was apocalyptic. It was Heroshima
for Democrats. It wounded them that badly. They watched their
(15:39):
nominee for president destroy end his political career, and in
their minds, they watched him lose the election. It was
it was look as joyful as that night was for you.
That's how much that night hurt for them, and we celebrated,
didn't we I celebrated. I was up with ob for
hours and hours and hours, both of us way past
(16:00):
our bedtime, just watching. Oh my gosh, look I'm at
they are. It's a huge win, wasn't it? What a win?
But wins can become losses, you see, because if you're
hosting a debate, we all know the Republicans are two
weeks stupid and useless to ever get a decent moderator
(16:23):
for the debate. So every debate is going to be
on NBC, ABCCBS, CNN. They'll only walk into hostile territory.
They'll only deal with communist journalists. Now, if you are
one of those communist news networks or communist journalists, you
have been given instructions, and your instructions, while they may
(16:47):
be more detailed than this, your instructions from this point
until the end of time are going to be this.
Don't you dare let happen what happened during that Joe
Biden Donald Trump debate. Moderators and networks have been given
in the most specific, emphatic instructions you could possibly give,
(17:13):
and they will be given those instructions every single presidential
election cycle. The Biden Trump debate. That win for US
will reverberate for decades in communist circles, moderators and networks
will be told in no uncertain terms, don't you dare
(17:35):
allow our candidate to go on stage again and destroy
us and destroy his career. You better bend over backwards,
sacrifice your reputation, do whatever you have to do to
make sure that never happens again. In the wake of
(17:56):
horrible tragedy like that for them, you make adjustments and
again after that huge win, remember the ABC debate. Yeah,
Trump didn't have his best night, but between David Mirror
and Lindsay Lip injections, the most biased debate I've ever
seen in my life, and I've seen bias debates. Why
(18:18):
was it so biased Because David and Lindsey Lips they
were both told, don't you dare pull a Jake Tapper
or a Dana Bash. You better pray. Kamala Harris walks
off this stage looking good. And that's how they acted.
And that brings us to tonight. Hang on the Jesse
(18:39):
Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Tuesday. Now,
let's just finish up this talk really quickly. On the
debate because I'm going to do some emails before i
get back to the hurricane flooding stuff. There's just so
much we have to tackle tonight. They know they're already
down to you know, said the moderators are going to
(19:01):
be uniquely biased. They know they're down. This was senator
former Senator mccaskell, Claire mccaskell, Missouri. She's a total nutbag,
but this is what she went on TV and said.
I've end of the debate.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm just a little worried about the expectations game at
his point. I think people, yes, Jadie Vance has said
some really I think disqualifying things about women and how
he views people and their role in life. But he
will be articulate, and he will be prepared, and he
will be better than Trump was. And I think it's
(19:38):
it's really going to be a challenge for Tim Walls
to be able to counter what he is going to
bring at the same time stay really likable and relatable,
and then also instill confidence in the American people that
he's the better one to be in the wings in
case something were to happen to the president. So I
(20:00):
just think we need the lower expectations a little bit,
because then we can all be pleasantly surprised if I'm
wrong and that Tim Walls just mops the floor with him,
the same way Kamala Harris mops the floor with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Okay, so mccaskell, the Democrats, they agree with me. It
all looks on paper like jd Vance is going to
just punt Tim Walls through the goalposts tonight. The moderators
know that too, and the moderators know the network knows
(20:36):
they will be destroyed by the system. There will be
consequences if Tim Walls looks too bad tonight. Why because
of the Biden Trump debate. The Biden Trump debate will
be forgotten by the right a lot sooner than it
(20:56):
will ever be forgotten by the left. The left will
remember that pain, they will remember that night, and they
will bend over backwards to make sure that never ever
happens again. That's what makes me nervous. Now, Look, jd Vance,
you know how hard I am on politicians on our
own side too. I just am Jady Vance has been
(21:21):
awesome on the campaign. It's been awesome on message, happy warrior,
he's been great, great energy, he's a great debater what
he's he a Yale guy and one of these times
this is a great debater. He just knows what he's doing.
I saw his debate against I think it was Miller,
Tim Miller, Ohio when he was in that Senate race.
Just crushed him, just absolutely crushed him. His timing is
(21:42):
really good. Debates are about this is why. This is
really what makes some people great debaters and not and
debate prep. Yes, it's important, it's important you know the issues,
but what I'm about to say is oftentimes something you
can't teach. Again, back to the other continuing theme for tonight,
taking the temperature of the room. When do you strike,
(22:07):
When do you stay silent? When do you parry? Those
are important things. They will give, they will leave themselves openings.
And if you time it right, if you can think
on your feet in that way and avoid getting too
deep in your emotions, you can knife them right when
(22:27):
the time is right, right, when the time is right.
I uh, let's talk about me for a minute. It's
all about me. Of course. Back when I was running
in that GOP primary, my first ever congressional run I
was in, we had all these GOP primary debates and
one of them was huge. It was the one so
all the GOP voters everyone was tuning in, and there
(22:50):
were a few of us on stage, and it was
me and you know, the more establishment type guy, and
everyone knew I was the firebrand, the hardcore right wing.
But I loved debates. I love them. People get nervous
for them. They're my favorite thing in the world. I
enjoy fighting, I enjoy the crowd. I wanted to fight,
(23:13):
and my timing was always what saved me in the debates.
It was never that I knew more about the issues.
I didn't know more about the issues. I knew the issues,
but it was never that I knew more about the
issues than the establishment guy. He'd been in an elected
office for a decade or something like that. I didn't
know all the issues, all the numbers, dollars and cents
things that he knew. But what I did better than him,
(23:36):
better than all of them up there, is I timed
it right. We were only allowed a few challenges in
one of our debates. I actually think this video is
still online somewhere. I should dig it up. But we
were only allowed a couple rebuttals in our debates. And
once you used them. I think it was one or two.
Once you used them, you couldn't use them anymore. Well,
people get nervous in the debates, and so they used
(23:56):
all theirs up early on. And I was just waiting,
and I was just waiting, and I was just waiting,
and I was just hoping that he the main opponent
of mine, the establishment guy. I was waiting and hoping
he would leave me an opening with something he said
he would expose, and I just held onto mine. I
think there was like ten minutes left in the debate,
(24:17):
and I forget what it was he said, but he
might as well have just opened up his chest and said,
stab me Jesse, because he laid himself out and I
destroyed him. The crowd went on their feet, they took
a straw pull after I slaughtered him. Absolutely, it was
in that moment you time it right. And that's what jd.
Vance does very very well. When do you block, when
(24:39):
do you perry? When do you attack again? I'm getting
myself all hyped up for tonight, and I shouldn't, because
that's always when I get disappointed. I think it's gonna
be a good night. All right, Let's move on, Let's
do some emails because I want to talk about some
hurricane flood stuff and do some other things during the show.
Dear tiny hands Jesse, you know you guys are not nice.
I live in Red, Ohio, but school districts are trying
(25:01):
to remove life Wise religious instruction as an option for students.
I moved to a red area because a suburb of
Columbus was turning from red to purple to blue. Anyways,
some group tried to remove life Wise from our schools
a while back, and our very conservative school boards shut
them down, and we still have Life Wise. Local power matters.
(25:27):
I miss parts of life in Columbus, but life is
way better in my red area. Anyways, wanted to tell
this story as an example of how local power matters.
His name is John. Local power is everything. No matter
what happens with the docs and the money and the
war and the immigration, in all things, no matter what
(25:49):
comes for us, you will be better off if your
community and on a larger scale, your state are four
to five against the communist menace and you are the
one who can fortify it again. No matter what. Maybe
maybe we'll get this whole band back together again and
(26:12):
we'll get things straightened out in this country. And if
we do that, then if you have done the work,
and you've taken back your community, your school board, your city,
your county, your state, then you'll be even better than
everyone else. And maybe maybe we will not fix anything.
Everything the history of the world says we likely will not.
That's not something that happens when when empires begin to die,
(26:35):
they don't generally right the ship. But if that happens,
if the Titanic really sinks beneath the waves, you will
be so much better off right now if you fortify
your area against whatever comes. We are going to get
into some flood hurricane stuff here in a minute, and
(26:57):
back to taking the temperature of the room thing. But
along those lines, I'm gathering as many stories and emails
and things like that as humanly possible. And you know,
a consistent theme I have seen from North Carolina, from
Tennessee where all this devastation is. This wasn't even government,
It was a natural disaster. The people who had community
(27:20):
fared so much better than those who did not. Asheville
Blue run Communist run dump, which used to be a
sweet place, I should know, but Blue Run Dump complete
anarchy disaster. The more red areas where there was a
strong community. They're helping each other, supporting each other. That's
(27:42):
where we have to focus. All right, let's discuss all
that in a moment. Before we do that, let's discuss well,
real estate, you see, hard assets. I just had a
chance to talk to Carol Roth again the other day,
and she was talking about the debt, the debt crisis
that is here. It's not coming, it's here. We're in
(28:03):
the early stages of it. Carol, what do you do?
What do you do? What do you do? She said, well,
you do what all the big finance finance giants are doing,
what the nations are doing. They're buying up real estate,
They're buying up precious medals, and they're buying up land, land,
real estate, precious metals, land, real estate, precious metals. Because
those things span the test of time. Those things will
(28:24):
be around for ages. If you buy a home, it
never drops to zero. It may go up, that mago down,
it never drops to zero. Can you say that about
your dollar done for you? Real estate They can build
you a portfolio that generates tax free, consistent income over time.
(28:45):
You retire on it, leave it to your kids, go
to Donefujesse dot com to learn more, and also you
get a free copy of their new book Micro Wins
to Millions Done for you. Jess dot Com used the
promo code Jesse to get your book. We'll be back.
(29:07):
You're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show. On a Tuesday, A huge
Tuesday debate starts a little bit more than an hour
from now. World War three probably starts five minutes after that.
People are still trying to put their lives together in
North Carolina and Tennessee. We'll talk about that in a moment.
(29:29):
And nothing is coming into ports on the entire Eastern
seaboard other than that, nothing going on on this October
first in the United States of America. Now, let's talk
just for a couple of minutes about the hurricane disaster
relief stuff. So I told you I was going to
dig and I was going to give you something something.
(29:50):
Most of you were already going to know this, but
I was going to try to find something, a place
where you can go to give and help. Here's where
I gave. I'll give you two things. I gave to
Samaritan's Purse also, Glenn Beck's Mercury one is amazing. Mercuryon
(30:16):
dot org is amazing. The Glenn's been doing this kind
of stuff for a very very long time. That's where
I would go if I were you, Samaritan's Purse or
Mercury one, mercurywe dot org. If you have the means,
if you want to do something, whether it's a dollar
or whatever, that's where I would go to do. So again,
(30:39):
let me remind you the nonprofit world, the charity world,
it is dirty. It's full of all kinds of filth.
It's full of people who rip you off. The money
doesn't go where you want it to go, and so
(30:59):
just be careful with your money. And I got this email.
I wanted to clarify something here because a lot of
this is charity CEO salary. That's the title of this cemail.
And this can get confusing. So here's what the guy says. Jesse,
longtime supporter of Saint Jude Hospital, started looking at the
salary of the CEOs. Saint Jude's CEO is one point
(31:21):
three million shiners, is one point one million Samaritans Purse.
That's Franklin Graham eight eighty k wounded Warrior for eighty
eight Tunnel to Towers zero dollars. Gosh, I love Tunnel
to Towers, of course, zero dollars. Jesse to the President
of the United States makes four hundred k. What makes
these CEOs worth that much money? I know you're a
(31:42):
busy guy. Check out the charities. Okay, So I understand,
I understand when you give to a charity, and I'm
not actually selling you on any of those. In fact,
I hate most of the ones you just laid out there.
They have great reputations they don't deserve. But so I'm
not defending those specifically. But I will say this charity
rating websites are actually more important than the salary of
(32:07):
the CEO. Not everyone's going to be Tunnel to Towers,
where they just simply unload every dime of the Tunnel
to Towers is unique. Tunnel to Towers and Pure Talk
are unique. That's why I loved them so much. That's
why I adore them. Pure Talk's the same way money
goes to the babies. I must say, babies, you give
to pure talk or not pure talk? Preborn, I'm sorry.
(32:28):
Preborn's the same way preborn Tunnel to Towers same thing.
Money gets to the babies at preborn money gets to
the families and tunnel to towers. But let's set those aside,
because those are the ones that you know I already
have an affinity for. If the CEO of the charity
you're giving to makes a lot of money, that's not
always a bad sign. Sometimes it is. Allow me to explain.
(32:53):
If I start at charity and it's just me and
Jewish Chris, he'll handle the accounting, I don't need to
make much money, because how hard is it. I'm alone.
All I have is Chris to worry about. I have
one employee. We can't do very much because it's just
(33:15):
two of us. We can raise some money, we'll distribute
some things, but I don't need to be a very
capable person to manage a charity of that size. But
if you get into a large charity, a very very
large charity, and again I'm not defending all these salaries.
Some of them may be egregious and horrible. I'm not
(33:37):
defending that. But if you get into a large organization,
let's say Jesse's charity, which I would probably name my charity.
Jesse does wonderful things for people, that's the name of
my charity. So if Jesse does wonderful things to people,
if it becomes a thousand person operation, a thousand people,
(33:59):
and let's just say I can't run it, I have
to hire somebody to run it. Well, I need a
highly capable human being to organize, to implement a vision.
To be the CEO of a thousand person company, even
a charity is a big deal with a lot of responsibility,
(34:21):
and I need a capable human being to do the job.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Ideally, if we lived in this perfect world of rainbow
and unicorns, ideally I would find someone who's highly capable
who wants to do it for free. But that's not
how life actually works. Do you like to do a
bunch of things for free? You can't find a person
who's going to manage a thousand person organization for free.
(34:48):
So me, the head of Jesse Kelly does wonderful things
for people the name of the charity, I have to
go find what I have to go. Find a CEO
who can hand a company of that size, and a
CEO who can handle a company of that size is
gonna need to be paid. And if I don't pay him,
(35:10):
I either found a saint or a moron, and there
aren't a lot of saints. There are a lot of morons.
So just by its size, a charity might need to
pay a ridiculous amount of money to the CEO. Nobody
wants to hear that. Everyone wants the tunnel to Towers
(35:30):
model where they don't take a time. But in reality,
charities are organizations too. Lots of them are scammers, as
I've explained, but charities are organizations too. And if you're
trying to find a man to take command of a
thousand people, you're gonna have to find the kind of guy.
You're gonna have to pay a Spottom line, all right,
So yes, CEO salary, the salary of the of the CEO.
(35:55):
It does matter. I'm not saying just dismiss it at all.
But charity rating websites are better than just looking at
the CEO. And I don't want to give you a
specific charity rating website because I don't trust those either.
There are several, and whenever Chris and I are interested
(36:15):
in something and we're looking something up, we look at
several because I wouldn't trust one. If there's one, I
assume that charity bought it, and he's given him a
good rating. Look, I'm a naturally cynical and suspicious person.
Go look at charity rating websites. Go look at them
and look. I know you'll be able to get access
to those websites because you're probably looking on your Puretalk
(36:36):
phone right now, aren't you. You know Puretalk speaking of charity.
You know puretalks ceo. I'm gonna get in trouble for this.
You know their CEO was macv SOG. Do you remember
the history episode I did on MACVSG the super stud
(37:01):
green Beret Navy seal types in Vietnam behind enemy lines,
the just the biggest studs in the world. That guy
runs Pure Talk. Why do you think they hire Americans?
Why do you think their charity? Speaking of charity is
all about veterans, getting them back on their feet, getting
them healthcare, getting them what they need. That's the kind
(37:23):
of company I stand behind. That's the kind of company
I want to support. And I pay half of what
I was paying with T Mobile. Switch to Pure Talk.
Pick up your phone dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money pound two
five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. Switch to pure talk. We'll
(37:46):
be back.
