President Joe Biden is saying goodbye to America as President Trump ushers in an era of new leadership, marked by a ceasefire deal in the Middle East (and potentially another on the horizon?). Jesse Kelly gives his thoughts on this and goes through highlights from another round of cabinet confirmation hearings. Did Pam Bondi pass the smell test? Maybe not for Mel K, who has her concerns. Pete Hegseth passed his with flying colors. Sean Parnell was at the hearing and gives his reaction amidst some good news for the SecDef pick. Plus, a wild altercation between two female members of Congress.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
It looks like we're finally gonna have some world sanity back.
We'll talk about this ceasefire, talk about the confirmation hearings,
a nasty cat fight on the house floor, all that
and more coming up on I'm right.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, So I have to confess something.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I know we have the Biden farewell address, but there's
something about me that I don't know that it's a
good thing. I don't know that it's a bad thing.
I'm just gonna explain something about me and how I work.
You haven't seen us do a lot of death tributes
on the show, meaning when a famous person of some
kind dies politician, you know, we just lost Jimmy Carter recently,
(00:48):
or a musician or things like that.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You don't generally see us do.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
A lot of Oh it's a sad, sad day, Oh
pray for Jimmy Carter's family.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And I'm gonna explain why I.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Don't care, especially if it's somebody I generally disliked, as
it is Jimmy Carter. Out of respect, I choose not
to say anything at all.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't dance on the grave.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't celebrate the loss, but I also don't pretend like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Heartbroken over the whole thing. I just kind of move along.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I feel the same way about these politicians, these
statesmen who have been lifelong scumbags, and they're giving farewell addresses.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We're supposed to all.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Be what despondent that Joe Biden's long, decades long career
of vindictiveness and corruption.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Is coming to an end. Oh Joe, please don't go.
You were the best. No, he wasn't the best, so
I'm not talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He was a piece of crap, a vicious, nasty piece
of crap his entire career. At the end of his career,
he was a senile, vicious, nasty piece of crap who
is too old, power hungry, and weak to actually take
back any power in the white out. So of course
he wanted to be president. That's where the power hungry
(02:12):
comes in. But he couldn't function. So we got into office,
and for four years we've had the most nasty communists
running the United States of America. His regime was banana
Banana republic like and its censorship, its attacks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Of American citizens.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm old enough to remember when that old jerk told
us he was losing patience with us because we weren't
getting vaccinated fast enough. So goodbye, Joe. Allow me to
be the first to say farewell. Now onto the hearings today.
Marco Rubio going to be Secretary of State. And you
should know again how many senators have come on this
(02:52):
show and told us, looks like all these guys are
going to get confirmed. The suspense appears to be gone.
The senator has got sufficiently slapped around and threatened with
primaries by you, and it looks like all these guys
are going to get through.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm certainly not the world's biggest Rubio fan. I'm not
the world's biggest Rubio hater. But here's what he said today.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Here's my view of a situation. Once this war became
what we now know it is, and that is a
war of attrition, a stalemate of protracted conflict, the dynamic
on that situation has changed, so this is an important conflicent.
I think it should be the official position of the
United States that this war should be brought to an end.
And my hope is that it could begin with some ceasefire,
(03:35):
and we're going to have there in order to achieve
objectives like the one that needs to occur in Ukrainian
it is important for everyone to be realistic. There will
have to be concessions made by the Russian Federation, but
also by the Ukrainians and the United States. That's lend
itself there. It's also important that there'll be some balance
on both sides. In essence, it will be difficult to
achieve the subjective of a ceasefire and ultimately a peace
(03:57):
settlement unless both sides have leverage. This will not be easy.
Conflicts of this nature that have historical underpinnings to it
are going to require a lot of hard diplomacy and
tough work. But that's something that needs to happen. This
conflict needs to end.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, I'm out of time.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That was a great answer.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
That's how a secretary of state is supposed to sound.
It's exactly the kind of thing a secretary of state
is supposed to say. We're going to come in. Our
goal is people need to stop dying. We're going to
bring everybody to the table. We're going to be realistic.
I'm not promising you rainbows and unicorns. We have to
work on leverage. It's going to be a long process.
(04:40):
There's a lot of history here, but it's time for
people to stop dying. That's the exact thing that should
have been happening under Democrat rule for the last four years.
But because those animals don't really care about human life,
we've been stuck with this slaughterhouse over there with no
attempts whatsoever to make it stop. If that's where we're going, fine.
(05:01):
I historically have disagreed with Marco Rubio a lot on
foreign policy. I'm sure I still do that. However, was
a wonderful answer and looks like we're going to get
some sanity back now onto Pam Bondy. I'm not going
to repeat myself again. I have concerns, not that she'll
be a disaster. I've not heard that from a single person.
(05:22):
People that know her, are very familiar with her, say
she's very competent, very sharp, that she'll do a very
good job. But I have not had a single person
familiar with her tell me she's going to do what
I want, and that's arrest government people, lots of them,
because we have to throw criminals in government in prison
in order to say the country. I don't think that's
(05:43):
what we're gonna get Pam BONDI got the thumbs up
from the Washington Post. Very competent, and I'm not a
Pam Bondy hater. I'm just apprehensive. She did very well.
I will say today in her hearings.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I'm not gonna misread this body nor you.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
All right, let me ask another question you don't want
to ask that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Let me answer you're moments like this.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Can you say no to the President of United States
when he asked you to do something unethical or illegal?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Senator, First, I need to clarify something that you said
that I have to sit up here and say these things. No,
I don't I sit up here and speak the truth.
I'm not going to sit up here and say anything
that I need to say to get confirmed by this body.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start
with a name and look for a crime. It's a
prosecutor's job to start with a crime and look for
a name, correct, Senator.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization
that we have seen the last four years and what's
been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
That you, as Attorney general, should investigate one of his
perceived political enemies.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Would you do so?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Senator Herona, I wish you had met with me. How
did you met with me? We could have discussed many
things and gotten.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Times to you.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
Now could you respond.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
To the question?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, you were the only one who refused to meet
with me.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Senator pretty good, didn't back off, composed herself.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
She was really good.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Today she's going to get confirmed and from here on
out we will see what she does.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
There are things that you and I have to do
going forward. You see, we're thrilled. We have a new
administration coming in. What'll be down for like five days now.
Trump will be in on Monday inauguration day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Woohoo.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
We're all happy. Sanity is coming in. Life is good.
Things are going to get better. But we have we
have go peers in the House and the Senate that
must be removed during the primary process. And as I
told you before, it looks ominous, it sounds ominous. It's
very hard to primary out a sitting senator after all.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But we don't have to do that many of them.
You don't have to do them. All all you need
is a.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Scalp or two and the rest of them will quickly
fall into line like the cowards they are. And scalp
Numero uno on my list is one John Cornyn from
the great State of Texas. He is up for a
primary in twenty twenty six. He is facing a potential
juggernaut of a primary challenger, Ken Paxton, current ag of
(08:38):
the State of Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But John Cornyn is one.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Of these deep state protectorate swamp rat types who passed
gun control legislation at the behest of Mitch McConnell. He's
been up there screwing us every chance he gets. Will
the GOP primary voter in Texas remember little tidbits like
this from today when he goes to.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Vote next year.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Section seven oh two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I've called this.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
The most important law that most people have never heard of.
It's been called the crown jewel of US intelligence. And
of course it cannot be used legally used the spy
on American citizens, and if it is, it ought to
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We
have a temporary extension of the existing authorization for the
(09:28):
use of the intelligence community to target foreign threats to
our national security that expires in twenty twenty six, And
I'd like you just to confirm here on the record
that you will enforce that law and you can support
the law as it is written.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Senator, I haven't read the entire seven two in front
of you, but I will commit to reading that and
doing everything I can to keep America safe again.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Setting aside her non committal answer, that's kind of how
she asked to answer that question. Why would a senator,
a GOP senator talk so lovingly about Faiza? We know,
of course it's been used on American citizens. That's not
even up for debate, even John Cornyan. Isn't that stupid?
We know it, You know it. I know it, John Cornan,
(10:20):
I promise you knows it. So it could have just
remained silent. Why bring it up at all? Why I
speak so lovingly about it? Well, let me tell you
what I suspect. That's just what I suspect. You see,
It's one thing to be an old school type, no
spy on everyone all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Catch those terrorists.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's another thing to look at all the endless abuses
of Faiza, which has been weaponized against US, and sing
its praises and demand the incoming ag do the same.
When I see United States senators like John Cornyan do that.
I see people who have been compromised in some way,
and that's simply what I suspect every single time I
(11:01):
see them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Do that. I see a United States.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Senator who maybe has some pictures out there that shouldn't
be out there.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
There's only one reason you would bring that up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Out of nowhere and demand the incoming age support it.
I mean, speaking of primary targets, Numero dose on my
list is Senator Naked Kendall Langford from the great state
of Oklahoma, should have been primary years ago. I be
you wanted to talk to the incoming CIA director about it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
World, What is your position on seven or two authority?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Sometimes more than half of the actionable foreign intelligence that
we provide to the President as the policymaker to act
as commander in chief comes from FISA derived or seven
H two derived action I will say I have supported
FISA in that regard, but I've also, as I outlined earlier,
(11:56):
understand that it is an important, indispensable tool, but one
can be abused, and that we must do everything we
can to make sure that it has the appropriate safeguards
because it can't come at the sacrifice of American civil liberty.
So I have supported those reforms and called out those
abuses when they have taken place.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh yeah, the safeguards for the pies of court are
already in place. It's the fies the court, it's the
PHIS a judge who's supposed to sign off on it.
When the FBI comes with a file and they want
FIS authorization, the judges approve it over ninety eight percent
of the time. Did you know that there are no
safeguards in place? Of course Ratcliffe knows that. Langford knows
(12:38):
that as well. But again I come back to just
a suspicion. I don't know anything, just a suspicion. Every
time I see a gopre in Washington wrap his arms
around Piza and give it a big sloppy kiss, I
automatically assume there are pictures of you with midgets out there.
I'm sorry, that's the way it works in DC. There's
no other reason you'd still be singing praises. Now, one
(13:01):
final word on Ratcliffe. I thought he did pretty well here.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
In twenty twenty, when a chairman of an intelligence committee
misrepresented that a laptop mooned by then candidate Biden's son
was somehow a Russian intelligence operation and fifty one former
intelligence officials used the imprimaiture of icy authority to go
(13:31):
along with that. I stood in the breach. I stood
alone and told the American people the truth about that.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It did, and I'm hopeful we'll see what he can
get done. All that may have made you uncomfortable, but
I am right. Will obviously continue during Confirmation week to
cover all of this stuff moving forward. Before we do
those things, I want to do something for you, something wonderful.
The gift of a great night's sleep changes everything. When
(14:04):
you get one, doesn't it. You get one, you just
spring out of bed, and you know, my mind's gonna
feel good all day. I'm gonna be in a good
mood all day. I'm gonna have the energy to get
done when I need to get done. And that's what
dreampowder from Beam can do for you. It's a cup
of hot chocolate. It's delicious. I should note if you
didn't know there were things in it, you'd never know there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Were things in it.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I sip on a cup of hot chocolate before bed,
and it has natural things in it, like belatonin, and
I just kind of zunk out and.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I wake up.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I sleep through the night and I wake up feeling great.
You want to feel like that every day like I do.
Shotbeam dot Com slash Jesse Kelly, We'll be back. Do
you support riauthorizing thighs twenty five?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Senator, I believe seven I know two is up in
twenty twenty six. Okay, I believe it's twenty twenty six,
and we will closely be looking at that.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
PIZA is a very important agree that the.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Seven oh two provides important intel gathering capability to protect.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Our nation, extremely important.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay, So, Pam, you're about to step into a job
that's one of the most important jobs in any democracy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Chrissy one, We're not a democracy the United States, Senator,
I would hope would know that too, as I talked
about in the open, after all the abuses of our
rights we've seen by PISA. Every time I see a
gopiece senator talking lovingly about PHIZA, sorry, I see a
(15:48):
gopiece senator that has dirty pictures out there from the
intelligence agency.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Joining me now.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Melk author of the book Americans Anonymous Man. These these
gop types John horn In, James Naked, Kendall Langford, Lindsay Graham,
they sure do love them some Fizamel.
Speaker 12 (16:07):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't matter that it totally violates
the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment, or that it was
abused three million times in the first Trump administration. Let alone,
was how costs fire hurricane was set up. And don't
forget when they extended it, they made sure that Congress
nor anyone connected to Congress can ever be phis it
(16:27):
from seven oh two, so it exempted them as well.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
It's purely unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That always seems to work out for these people. So
explain to people now for those maybe maybe people are
just now tuning in, getting to wear the political process. Paisa,
what do you mean abused? How's it been abused?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What is it? How they abuse it?
Speaker 12 (16:48):
Okay, Well, PISA seven oh two is basically a way
after the unconstitutional Patriot Act. It was passed to spy
on people without a warrant, without the knowing using the
NSA database. And basically this can be for any reason.
So they can, you know, Chris Ray or anyone else
(17:09):
can say somebody is a threat to national security and
they're going to open.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
A file on you. And the OIG came.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Out with a report about the abuses of PISA being
over three million Americans during the Trump administration and after,
certainly during January sixth were violated by the PISA abuse,
but also ten thousand agents inside the FBI and the
intelligence community violated the rules of PISA in order to
(17:34):
spy on American citizens. First of all, FISA should be
only for foreigners. But really what they're doing now is
what they do is they use FISA and then anyone
that anyone that they're going after with PISA who's spoken
to that person, they're going to jump to and allow
themselves to spy on that person. And honestly, what's scary
is that this is all coming through while they're trying
(17:56):
to push the true real ID and the track and
trace surveillance at the airports and the global public infrastructure
with PALL ANDEER. So when you look at the big picture,
the PISA is really one step closer to literal Big
Brother in America without any control because now they're entering
AI into the PISA database collection. So, I mean, it's
(18:19):
very dangerous and it's totally unconstitutional.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So what do you make of the corn and James
Lang for Lindsey Graham types and how much they love it.
Everything you just said is an easily verifiable fact. It's
not even an opinion. These are things that have been
well documented. But Lindsey loves it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Why mel Well?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
I think it's because of control. I think it's also
these people are very siloed the entire I see all
of the different agencies. After nine to eleven, we're supposed
to come together and work together. That is not what's happening.
What is happening is that they are very siloed into
different groups. So it's very possible that Langford and Lindsey
Graham and these people are getting information predominantly from the
(19:00):
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that this is crucial
to finding terrorists in America. But we all know that
that's not what it's about, and it never was. It
really is about a full track and trace surveillance system
like in China that these same people funded and built
that they want to run here, pretending that it's for
our own safety.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
Yet, again, what.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Are the concerns do you have about pam bonding? She
did very very well today, kept herself together. There were
some answers to some questions that certainly annoyed me. I
guess I'll put it that way. What are your concerns?
Speaker 12 (19:36):
Well, my one concern is still I am still concerned
about what happened with the George Zimmerman case when she
was the AG. I know that she's done a lot
of great work and she really really knows the entire
Ukraine impeachment scenario because she defended Trump. But something did
happen with Ray Krump and Eric Holder during the Zimmerman
case where she was instrumental in reopening a totally roval
(20:00):
bulk self defense case as a civil rights case under
the DOJ National Security Division and Bilt Crump put up
a witness that was not the real witness, and everyone
knew it, and she must have known it. I would
like to have somebody question her about what happened during
the George Zimmerman case because there was a lot of really,
really bad stuff that set off the Black Lives Matter
(20:22):
uprising that had to do with reopening that case as
a civil rights case with Eric Holder than cementing the
whole idea that the white supremacists were the problem in America,
and that was a key moment in the Black Lives
Matter fueling their fire towards the summer of riots.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
One thing that was apparent today during the hearings was
these people were concerned about Cash Patel taking over the FBI.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Here was this exchange, would.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
You have hired someone into the Florida Attorney General's office
who you knew had an enemy's list?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Senator, to cut to the chase, you're clearly talking about
Cash Pattel. I don't believe he has an enemy's list.
He has great experience in the Intel Department, Department of Defense.
I have known Cash, and I believe that Cash is
the right person at this time for this job. You'll
have the ability to question mister Patel.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
And I'm questioning you about whether you will enforce an
enemy's list that he announced publicly on television.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Oh, Senator, I'm sorry. There will never be an enemies
list within the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Why are they so worried about Cash?
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Well, a, because they spied on Cash with the seven
oh two. So let's remember that. Also because Cash, Battel
and Devin Uda has put in twelve criminal referrals and
have all the evidence. And also beyond that, Cash is
the one who, more than anyone else, has identified the players.
A lot of people don't talk about the names of
who's behind law FEA, who's behind WESSEXEC advisors, what they've
(22:03):
been doing behind the scenes in the shadow government. Cash
knows all of that. And frankly, it's not an enemy's
list against anyone except for the people of the United
States of America who were lied to for over ten
years about everything having to do with Donald Trump and
Russia Gate and all of that. Those are That's not
an enemy's list. That's a list of people that should
(22:23):
be held accountable for breaking the trust of the United
States citizens and for lying to this country and cahoots
with the media for total distraction. While we could have
been building our country back, they were tearing it down
behind the scenes. And Cash knows where the bodies are buried,
So I don't blame them for not wanting him there.
But he's got all the evidence that he already needs.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this, Mel as always, I
appreciate you Come back soon, all right, Sean Parnell is
going to join us. In a moment before Sean joins us,
Sehn's a veteran. He was at the Pete hag Seth
hearing we had When are people.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Who actually fought for the country. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, when we talk about Puretalk, you know that there's
Ceo Walk the Jungles of Vietnam, not just one tour,
not that that would have been bad, but two tours
with Macvsong. People look at Pure Talk and the things
they do. They hire Americans, they give back to veterans,
and they ask why why don't they give the planned
(23:24):
parenthood and all the other crap that all the big
guys do.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Pure talks about this country, all about this country, top
to bottom. And you'll pay less. You keep your phone,
you keep your number. They make it easy. That's the
most important thing. They make it easy. If it's a pain,
you're never gonna switch. But Puretalk makes a cake. Go
puretalk dot com slash jessetv saves.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You even more money. Switch to pure Talk. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
It had to be a long day yesterday for old
Pete and Seth joining me now. My friend a man
who was there yesterday, Sean Parnell, veteran host of battle
Ground Live. Sean, my word, were you just sitting there
mainlining ibuprofen all day long?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
That had to be brutal.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
Give that man the silver Star for that performance, for
having to endure that. That was a strange strategy to
have him come in there and just be berated by
you know, angry not just not just women senators, but
just Democrat senators.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
And I would also.
Speaker 14 (24:50):
Say very very uneffectively, So for what was over a
four hour hearing. And you know, the crazy thing, Jesse
is is that Pete did a really he did a
really great job. He was calm, he was composed, he
was measured. He understands these the issues of the Department
of Defense and the Pentagon at a deep and substantive level.
(25:11):
So he's got it all on lockdown. But did you
notice the Democrats their strategy how they started with policy.
When that wasn't working, they went to the whole women
in combat thing. When that wasn't working, they went right
to attacking this man's this man's personal life. And that
kind of stuff just makes me sick because anytime there
(25:34):
is an effective conservative that is right on the policy,
that can articulate themselves effectively and sway the American people,
they start assassinating character. And that was the playbook that
they used yesterday, and they were trying to knock Pete
hegseeth off. But I don't think they're going to be successful.
I think he's going to be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, it was ugly.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
In fact, I didn't even play that Tim Caine clip
from yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It was so gross. But I guess since you brought
you brought it up, Sean, So who was.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
Can you so casually cheat on a second wife and
cheat on the mother of a child who had been
born two months before? And you tell us you were
completely cleared?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So how was that a complete clear? Senator?
Speaker 10 (26:16):
Hear the child's name is Gwendolen Hope Hegseth, and she's
a child of God, and she's seven years old. And
you cheated on the mother of that child less than
two months after that daughter was born, didn't you. But
you acknowledge that you cheated on your wife, and that
you cheated on the woman by whom you had just
fathered a child.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You have been met at that.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I will allow your words to speak for them.
Speaker 10 (26:39):
You're not retracting that today.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's good.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
I assume that in each of your weddings you've pledged
to be faithful to your wife. You've taken an oath
to do that, haven't you. Many of your work. Colleagues
have said that you show up for work under the
influence of alcohol or drunk. I know you've denied that,
but you would agree with me right that if that
was the case, that would be disqualifying for somebody to
be Secretary of Defense. And I'll just conclude and say
this to the chairman. You claim that this was all anonymous.
(27:04):
We have seen records with names attached to all of these,
including the name of your own mother. So don't make
this into some anonymous press thing.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Sean.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
My question is, yeah, it's gross, it's awful, it's terrible,
oil's all those things. But does this stuff work anymore?
Or did the Kavanaugh hearings? Was that their last hurrah
for this kind of stuff, and now the American people
are just it.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
Yeah, Jesse, if I had to guess, I haven't seen
any poll numbers or any sort of public testing on this,
but I don't think that this stuff works. In fact,
I think it has the opposite effect. The American people
are just tired of this. And let's talk about the
Senator from Virginia, Tim Kane. This is a guy that
endorsed Bill Clinton and had no issues with any of
(27:54):
his behavior. This was a guy that was on the
ticket with Hillary Clinton, and of course we know all
about Hillary Clinton and how she waged a war against
all of the Bill Clinton's accusers during his time in
the White House. Had nothing to say about that. The
hypocrisy here is astounding. And moreover, contrary to what Senator
(28:17):
Kine said, these are indeed all anonymous allegations, every single
one of them.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
There hasn't been one single name attached to any of these.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
And what was fascinating yesterday during during the hearing is
that Hegsath's team was able to figure out the Democrat
line of attack prior to the hearing. So if you
watched it, you'd see all of these allegations, false allegations
leveled by the Democrats because that all they have are
are lies and hoaxes. Seriously, oh, you mismanaged finances at
(28:50):
Vets for Freedom. So then a Republican senator would read
a statement from somebody from Vets for Freedom saying I
was a CFO, Actually our finances were great, Oh you
missed managed finances at CBA. Then this statement from the
follow on executive director of CBA is like, actually I
followed Pete in this role, and he gave me a
powerhouse of an organization. So the entire I mean to me,
(29:13):
Pete hegg Seth walked out of there, and ultimately he
did exactly what he needed to do to sway public sentiment.
And part of these hearings, Jesse, as you know, is
just just be able to maintain composure, why you take
your licks. Pete was able to do that as well.
And the most important thing is he was able to
sway Jony Ernst to vote for him, which essentially means,
(29:33):
you know, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you know how politics goes,
essentially means if nothing changes by the twenty first, which
is that the day the full Senate votes, he seems
like he is, he is going to be a lock
for this position. And that is just so important because
Pete's testimony and that hearing yesterday really set the tone
(29:55):
for all of Trump's cabinet nomination. Couldn't let Pete get
knocked off, because as if we did, they would have
just rolled out the same strategy against Cash Battel and
RFK Junior and Tulse Gabbert.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
It would have just been the same darn thing over
and over again.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
So President Trump could not have asked for a better
leadoff hitter in this regard.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Speaking of taking your licks, where's Kamala Harris beIN? She
seems to have just disappeared since the election.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Yeah, and the people of California are paying for it.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
You know, if you're the sitting vice president, your husband
is a resident of Los Angeles, those people have been
devastated by the wildfires out there. By the way, complete
uniparty Democrat control out there, super majority control for decades.
It says why I say that Democrat, the new Democrat
Party and Democrat policies are an existential threat to America
(30:48):
because of stuff like this. In good times bad leadership,
maybe people can.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Get by and not notice.
Speaker 14 (30:55):
But in times of great crisis, that's when real leaders rise,
Jesse and rise to the moment. Here she is that
she has all the power of the executive branch, the
sitting vice president. She actually ran for president. She could
have told Joe Biden, you know what I'm done. I'm
going out to Los Angeles. I'm going out to California,
and I'm going to stand up and lead because nobody
(31:17):
out there can seem to do the job but not
only has she not done that, she's told the people
of California, Hey, just slow your role, be patient while
the government figures this out. Thank God that we dodged
this bullet of a Kamala Harris presidency, because this woman
is a disaster. And I'll also say the Democrats seem
(31:37):
to think she's gonna be the front runner for twenty
twenty eight. Good name her at the top of the
ticket again, because I would love to give her the
slacking of a lifetime. It's because she's just the worst man.
She's the worst.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Sean James o'keef got some undercover video of a Pentagon guy. Well,
here he was, And I work at this top consulting
firm and my client is the Pentagon, So I'm embedded
in the Pentagon. I work in the Joint Staff, which
(32:12):
is the top military command.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
What's your overall assessment of truck.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He's a sociopathic narcissists.
Speaker 14 (32:21):
He's only interested in advancing his name, his wealth, and
his faith.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Is there anything you can do to protect American people
from the stuff that he might try to do.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'm in conversation with a couple of retired generals.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
To try to explore what we can do. Well, that's horrifying, Sean.
Speaker 14 (32:50):
Yeah, it is because not a single American citizen, Democrat
or Republican by the way, voted for any one of
these disgusting federal bureaucrats. And by the way, if you
are a federal bureaucrat, I don't care what you want
to call them, call him a member of the blob,
the deep state, and trench bureaucracy, whatever. You work at
the behest of the president. So you can disagree all
(33:10):
you want, but if you're going to actively work against him,
and again this goes Democrat or Republican, I took an
oath to protect and defend the constitution. We elect presidents
in this country. If you're going to be a bureaucrat
that's working against the president, one, if you're identified, you
should be fired. If not, if you would disagree with
the president, it can't continue to do your job, then
quit go away, because ultimately, what these people do, when
(33:33):
we talk about the deep state or the entrenched bureaucracy
or whatever, they work against the American people. And just
watching that video that you showed here here they are
inside the Beltway at a swanky DC restaurant that probably
ninety percent of the American people couldn't afford to eat there.
They sit there and talk about how they know better
(33:53):
than the very people that put President Trump in office. That,
my friend, is a real problem and it needs to
stop in five days when Trump goes back to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
No doubt, Child, host of Battleground Live, I'll talk to.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You again, Sue my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, we had a couple of chicks on the
house floor, Jasmine Crockett Nancy Mace throw poop at each other.
It was embarrassing, kind of hot. We'll talk about it
with a panel next.
Speaker 15 (34:29):
Somebody's campaign coffers really are struggling right now, so she
gonna keep saying trans trans trans so that people will
feel threatened and child, listen, I won't you.
Speaker 12 (34:41):
I have no child to call me a child.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I am no child.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
I won't even stand out. I'm a growing of those females.
I a brocately have ceilings and man time, you will
not do that.
Speaker 15 (34:52):
I am chiming my time.
Speaker 16 (34:55):
You want to take it out, it's the chairman and committee.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Order point of order, point of order, order, order order.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Look, I enjoyed it, Like I said, maybe they can
hug it out or whatever. Joining me now, my friend
and as Stetman's senior policy analysts for the Independent Women's Forum,
and of course Terry Shielding, President of American Principles Project.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Okay, Terry setting aside.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
The hug it out part, it really doesn't bother me
because I consider the House of Representatives to be an embarrassment.
So when I look at another embarrassment that's on camera,
it's just one more embarrassment on top of a whole
mountain of embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Not sure why I should care.
Speaker 16 (35:40):
Look, this is a total mess, right, This is a
total disaster, Jasmine Crockett, is an embarrassment to Texas. This
is exactly why we don't need more progressive women in Congress.
I would much rather it be four hundred and thirty
five and as Stepman's because they're calm, they're cool, they're rational,
and they're small, and they want to do the right
(36:01):
thing for this country. They don't want to destroy it.
Jasmine Crockett using this trying to suggest that the only
reason Nancy Mace is talking about this is to phillip
her campaign Coffers, Where were you four or five years ago? Right,
this is not a very popular fight to pick. It's
only popular now because we won an election over it,
and it's because of that that Donald Trump's in the office.
So Jasmin Crockett's an embarrassment. She did the thing with
(36:24):
the Black Lives Matter, right, She's projecting they were running
low on campaign funds, so then they started the whole
Black Lives Matter movement off of these criminals and people
that were killed by cops that were robbing places and
using counterfeit bills. So I'm not surprised. This is typical
progressive behavior in Congress, and no one else should be
surprised either.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I don't necessarily disagree about the embarrassing ness. I don't
even know if that's the word. I didn't go to
college of Jasmine Crockett. She even got the hair toss
in there. But Nancy Mays is, in my opinion, is
no less embarrassing. To be honest, Yeah, she'll fall down
on the right side of an issue you every now
and then, But a reputation is that of a nasty hag.
And to be honest, if you will pardon my French,
(37:06):
she seems like a bit of an attention hound.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I realize there are kids watching.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
Look, I'm going to rip a joke from my friend
and form a colleague, Emily Jishinski, and say, I think
these two ladies were actually just trying to demonstrate to
Pete Hegseth that women can be in combat and they're
demonstrating on the of the Congress right now.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Now, this is embarrassing. This is not behavior.
Speaker 13 (37:32):
I don't think either one of them, frankly, is behaving
in a way that's becoming of somebody who actually wields
serious power in this country.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
And just to say something serious for half a second.
Speaker 13 (37:41):
I know this is a Jesse Kelly show, but you know,
this kind of behavior is obviously it's funny like sort
of on the surface, but there is a deeper problem here,
which is that like, these people aren't actually accountable.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
They wield real power.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
It's easy to sort of make fun of this, but
they wield real They don't.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Take any any seriousness or accountability. And that's the problem.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Just you know, throughout a lot of the ranks of
our government is that they wield a lot of power
and they don't want to be responsible for it. And
they'd rather do these little clips and flip their hair
and like go back and forth and these kinds of exchanges.
And maybe we deserve it because we the voters, rarely
punish them for this kind of behavior.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Well know, its just staying with you.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
How could I look at it any other way. I mean,
when people talk about how embarrassing their congressman is, their
senator is, I always like to go back and look
at the results of the last election and voila. Looks
like the people up their district love this crab. Yeah,
Jasmine Crockett's a piece of trash. The people in our
district district, they love pieces of trash. Nancy Base is embarrassing.
The people in our district, they.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Love that crab.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (38:49):
Well, you know that's that's democracy at some level, right,
you vote for the clown that will pull the lever.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
For the things that are important to you, hopefully.
Speaker 13 (38:59):
But yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of
seriousness in terms of accountability. And unfortunately, perhaps this is
the result of a you know, sort of long period
in which America, although we face many many domestic, very
serious challenges, right, we haven't been an era of great
power warfare for example, for a while.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
You know, maybe one.
Speaker 13 (39:19):
Hopes that seriousness will return if that comes to pass.
Hopefully it won't, but if it does, one hopes at
least that there will be some serious people left in
the government to deal with problems like that. But look,
after COVID, I'm not optimistic about that.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Sobering us up, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Neither am I. Terry. There's a bill right now.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Tommy Tapperville is all over it about banning men and
women's sports. This comes back to something I hate to
be king cynic all the time. But yeah, that's fine
and pass a bill. But when you get to the
point as a country where you have to pass bills
to stop dudes from beating up chicks in sports, you're
not in a healthy place. Even if the bill passes,
(40:01):
you're in a bad, bad place.
Speaker 16 (40:04):
No, that that's exactly right, Jesse. I could not agree
with you more. And why are we passing? And think
about this? Look, I fully support these bills. I am
I'm the you know, the trans guy. That's the joke.
Emily just says, she says that I'm the trans guy,
you know, But think about this, we're passing a women's
sports bill. That has a better chance. Protecting girls' sports
has a better chance of passing than banning sex change
(40:27):
procedures for miners. Right, banning sex change procedures for miners
that chop off healthy young girl's breasts and alter young boys'
bodies and sterilize them. These drugs that they give them,
by the way, Jesse, they they're too cruel for us
to give to sex offenders. Right, that it's too cruel.
It's illegal to give them to sex offenders, but we
give them to children to affirm their gender. That has
(40:49):
less of a shot of passing.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Than women's sports.
Speaker 16 (40:52):
So I agree we're in a very unhealthy spots of
the country, but I think it's starting to turn around,
and you start small and hopefully you get bigger.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
And as what do you make of Pam BONDI? Everybody
I talked to who's familiar with hers says fairly pretty
much the same thing. Very qualified, very competent, that she'll
do a solid job. But I personally am not looking
for a solid job. I'm looking for government criminals to
be arrested, and I don't know that's what I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
What do you make of her?
Speaker 13 (41:18):
I think that's probably going to have more to do
with Trump than Pam Bondi. I mean, I have the
same assessment of I guess, of all your friends, Jesse.
She seems very serious, intelligent, and actually I think somebody
of that nature, a little bit of a quieter nature,
is actually very, very necessary to actually clean out the
rot in DOJ because a lot of the stuff that
(41:40):
went down is ultimately about judgment calls within an institution,
and it's going to take somebody with some kind of
institutional knowledge and a lot of patience to actually unwind
who did what here? And so I think even your
for your purposes, if you want to see people brought
to justice for misusing their power again to see American
(42:00):
people in a politicized way, then I think what you
actually need is somebody a little bit like Pambondi. But
can I comment on that bill, because IW we were
a big proponent of this this bill. Obviously, I think
this is a wonderful bill. It's necessary. It's sad that
it is necessary. I want to point out how necessary
it is. Most Democrats voted against this bill. You say
(42:20):
it's so basic, right, and now the Democrats are gaslighting
us into saying that no no, No, that was never
a really big problem that men were in women's sports,
and nobody claimed that men could actually become women, and
that was just such a side issue and it was unimportant,
and blah blah blah. I know Terry hears this all
the time, right, that the cultureal issues are unimportant. There
are only two Democrats in the entire House who are
(42:42):
brave enough to vote in favor of this extremely basic bill.
Both of them, I believe, Hispanic Democrats from Texas. Okay,
so the vast majority of Democrats voted against this very
basic and simple bill to disallow to disallow bureaucrats from
writing gender identity into the Civil Rights Act by unilateral
(43:04):
authority and allowing therefore men to go into women's sports,
the most basic thing you could ever imagine, and almost
all the Democrats voted against it.
Speaker 16 (43:13):
Can I add on to that, Jesse, real quick, because
I think it's a huge reflection on the Democratic Party. Right,
these are half of the country is represented by these sick, twisted,
evil people that have no concern or care for our
women or daughters or our children. Right, it's not you
pull this issue and it's a seventy thirty issue the
vast majority of Americans are very good on this.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
But they're elected representatives.
Speaker 16 (43:35):
They're Democrats, and these weak Republicans who have been holding
this stuff up for so long, those are really the
problem here.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
No doubt. Terry and Az appreciate you both come back
to all right, fighting the mood. Thanks, it is time
to lighten the mood. And for this light in the mood,
(44:05):
I thought maybe we should pay homage to freshman senator.
I don't know him yet. Maybe he'll be a disaster,
maybe he'll be wonderful, but maybe sealed Tim Sheehy got
elected its senator, bounced out a loser Democrat, and my
home state of Montana, well my former home state, and
I did very much enjoy his line of questioning with
(44:25):
Pete hag Seth. I can't wait to have somebody as
sec deef who actually knows about weapons.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
How many genders are there, tough one, Senator, there are
two genders.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I know that well. I'm a Shihi, so I'm on board.
Speaker 9 (44:41):
What is the diameter of the rifle round fired out
of an M four eight one rifle?
Speaker 7 (44:46):
That's a five five six?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
How many push ups can you do?
Speaker 7 (44:50):
I did five sets? Of forty seven this morning.
Speaker 9 (44:52):
What do you think our most important strategic base is
in the Pacific?
Speaker 13 (44:56):
In the Pacific, Guam is pretty strategically significant.
Speaker 9 (45:00):
How many rounds of five, five, six can you fit
into the magazine off an M four rifle?
Speaker 7 (45:05):
Depends on the magazine, but standard issues thirty?
Speaker 9 (45:07):
And what size round is the M nine Bretta standard
issue side aren't for the military?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Fire a nine millimeter senator?
Speaker 9 (45:16):
What kind of batter is you put in your night
vision goggle?
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Duracel?
Speaker 9 (45:22):
So right there, you're representing qualifications that show you understand
what the warfighter deals with every single day in the battlefield.
You understand what happens on the front line where our
troops will be
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Pretty good, I'll see them
It looks like we're finally gonna have some world sanity back.
We'll talk about this ceasefire, talk about the confirmation hearings,
a nasty cat fight on the house floor, all that
and more coming up on I'm right.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, So I have to confess something.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I know we have the Biden farewell address, but there's
something about me that I don't know that it's a
good thing. I don't know that it's a bad thing.
I'm just gonna explain something about me and how I work.
You haven't seen us do a lot of death tributes
on the show, meaning when a famous person of some
kind dies politician, you know, we just lost Jimmy Carter recently,
(00:48):
or a musician or things like that.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You don't generally see us do.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
A lot of Oh it's a sad, sad day, Oh
pray for Jimmy Carter's family.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And I'm gonna explain why I.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Don't care, especially if it's somebody I generally disliked, as
it is Jimmy Carter. Out of respect, I choose not
to say anything at all.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't dance on the grave.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I don't celebrate the loss, but I also don't pretend like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Heartbroken over the whole thing. I just kind of move along.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I feel the same way about these politicians, these
statesmen who have been lifelong scumbags, and they're giving farewell addresses.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We're supposed to all.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Be what despondent that Joe Biden's long, decades long career
of vindictiveness and corruption.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Is coming to an end. Oh Joe, please don't go.
You were the best. No, he wasn't the best, so
I'm not talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He was a piece of crap, a vicious, nasty piece
of crap his entire career. At the end of his career,
he was a senile, vicious, nasty piece of crap who
is too old, power hungry, and weak to actually take
back any power in the white out. So of course
he wanted to be president. That's where the power hungry
(02:12):
comes in. But he couldn't function. So we got into office,
and for four years we've had the most nasty communists
running the United States of America. His regime was banana
Banana republic like and its censorship, its attacks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Of American citizens.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm old enough to remember when that old jerk told
us he was losing patience with us because we weren't
getting vaccinated fast enough. So goodbye, Joe. Allow me to
be the first to say farewell. Now onto the hearings today.
Marco Rubio going to be Secretary of State. And you
should know again how many senators have come on this
(02:52):
show and told us, looks like all these guys are
going to get confirmed. The suspense appears to be gone.
The senator has got sufficiently slapped around and threatened with
primaries by you, and it looks like all these guys
are going to get through.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm certainly not the world's biggest Rubio fan. I'm not
the world's biggest Rubio hater. But here's what he said today.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Here's my view of a situation. Once this war became
what we now know it is, and that is a
war of attrition, a stalemate of protracted conflict, the dynamic
on that situation has changed, so this is an important conflicent.
I think it should be the official position of the
United States that this war should be brought to an end.
And my hope is that it could begin with some ceasefire,
(03:35):
and we're going to have there in order to achieve
objectives like the one that needs to occur in Ukrainian
it is important for everyone to be realistic. There will
have to be concessions made by the Russian Federation, but
also by the Ukrainians and the United States. That's lend
itself there. It's also important that there'll be some balance
on both sides. In essence, it will be difficult to
achieve the subjective of a ceasefire and ultimately a peace
(03:57):
settlement unless both sides have leverage. This will not be easy.
Conflicts of this nature that have historical underpinnings to it
are going to require a lot of hard diplomacy and
tough work. But that's something that needs to happen. This
conflict needs to end.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, I'm out of time.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That was a great answer.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
That's how a secretary of state is supposed to sound.
It's exactly the kind of thing a secretary of state
is supposed to say. We're going to come in. Our
goal is people need to stop dying. We're going to
bring everybody to the table. We're going to be realistic.
I'm not promising you rainbows and unicorns. We have to
work on leverage. It's going to be a long process.
(04:40):
There's a lot of history here, but it's time for
people to stop dying. That's the exact thing that should
have been happening under Democrat rule for the last four years.
But because those animals don't really care about human life,
we've been stuck with this slaughterhouse over there with no
attempts whatsoever to make it stop. If that's where we're going, fine.
(05:01):
I historically have disagreed with Marco Rubio a lot on
foreign policy. I'm sure I still do that. However, was
a wonderful answer and looks like we're going to get
some sanity back now onto Pam Bondy. I'm not going
to repeat myself again. I have concerns, not that she'll
be a disaster. I've not heard that from a single person.
(05:22):
People that know her, are very familiar with her, say
she's very competent, very sharp, that she'll do a very
good job. But I have not had a single person
familiar with her tell me she's going to do what
I want, and that's arrest government people, lots of them,
because we have to throw criminals in government in prison
in order to say the country. I don't think that's
(05:43):
what we're gonna get Pam BONDI got the thumbs up
from the Washington Post. Very competent, and I'm not a
Pam Bondy hater. I'm just apprehensive. She did very well.
I will say today in her hearings.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I'm not gonna misread this body nor you.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
All right, let me ask another question you don't want
to ask that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Let me answer you're moments like this.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Can you say no to the President of United States
when he asked you to do something unethical or illegal?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Senator, First, I need to clarify something that you said
that I have to sit up here and say these things. No,
I don't I sit up here and speak the truth.
I'm not going to sit up here and say anything
that I need to say to get confirmed by this body.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start
with a name and look for a crime. It's a
prosecutor's job to start with a crime and look for
a name, correct, Senator.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization
that we have seen the last four years and what's
been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
That you, as Attorney general, should investigate one of his
perceived political enemies.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Would you do so?
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Senator Herona, I wish you had met with me. How
did you met with me? We could have discussed many
things and gotten.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Times to you.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
Now could you respond.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
To the question?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, you were the only one who refused to meet
with me.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Senator pretty good, didn't back off, composed herself.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
She was really good.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Today she's going to get confirmed and from here on
out we will see what she does.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
There are things that you and I have to do
going forward. You see, we're thrilled. We have a new
administration coming in. What'll be down for like five days now.
Trump will be in on Monday inauguration day.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Woohoo.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
We're all happy. Sanity is coming in. Life is good.
Things are going to get better. But we have we
have go peers in the House and the Senate that
must be removed during the primary process. And as I
told you before, it looks ominous, it sounds ominous. It's
very hard to primary out a sitting senator after all.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But we don't have to do that many of them.
You don't have to do them. All all you need
is a.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Scalp or two and the rest of them will quickly
fall into line like the cowards they are. And scalp
Numero uno on my list is one John Cornyn from
the great State of Texas. He is up for a
primary in twenty twenty six. He is facing a potential
juggernaut of a primary challenger, Ken Paxton, current ag of
(08:38):
the State of Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But John Cornyn is one.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Of these deep state protectorate swamp rat types who passed
gun control legislation at the behest of Mitch McConnell. He's
been up there screwing us every chance he gets. Will
the GOP primary voter in Texas remember little tidbits like
this from today when he goes to.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Vote next year.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Section seven oh two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I've called this.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
The most important law that most people have never heard of.
It's been called the crown jewel of US intelligence. And
of course it cannot be used legally used the spy
on American citizens, and if it is, it ought to
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We
have a temporary extension of the existing authorization for the
(09:28):
use of the intelligence community to target foreign threats to
our national security that expires in twenty twenty six, And
I'd like you just to confirm here on the record
that you will enforce that law and you can support
the law as it is written.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Senator, I haven't read the entire seven two in front
of you, but I will commit to reading that and
doing everything I can to keep America safe again.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Setting aside her non committal answer, that's kind of how
she asked to answer that question. Why would a senator,
a GOP senator talk so lovingly about Faiza? We know,
of course it's been used on American citizens. That's not
even up for debate, even John Cornyan. Isn't that stupid?
We know it, You know it. I know it, John Cornan,
(10:20):
I promise you knows it. So it could have just
remained silent. Why bring it up at all? Why I
speak so lovingly about it? Well, let me tell you
what I suspect. That's just what I suspect. You see,
It's one thing to be an old school type, no
spy on everyone all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Catch those terrorists.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's another thing to look at all the endless abuses
of Faiza, which has been weaponized against US, and sing
its praises and demand the incoming ag do the same.
When I see United States senators like John Cornyan do that.
I see people who have been compromised in some way,
and that's simply what I suspect every single time I
(11:01):
see them.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Do that. I see a United States.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Senator who maybe has some pictures out there that shouldn't
be out there.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
There's only one reason you would bring that up.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Out of nowhere and demand the incoming age support it.
I mean, speaking of primary targets, Numero dose on my
list is Senator Naked Kendall Langford from the great state
of Oklahoma, should have been primary years ago. I be
you wanted to talk to the incoming CIA director about it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
World, What is your position on seven or two authority?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Sometimes more than half of the actionable foreign intelligence that
we provide to the President as the policymaker to act
as commander in chief comes from FISA derived or seven
H two derived action I will say I have supported
FISA in that regard, but I've also, as I outlined earlier,
(11:56):
understand that it is an important, indispensable tool, but one
can be abused, and that we must do everything we
can to make sure that it has the appropriate safeguards
because it can't come at the sacrifice of American civil liberty.
So I have supported those reforms and called out those
abuses when they have taken place.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh yeah, the safeguards for the pies of court are
already in place. It's the fies the court, it's the
PHIS a judge who's supposed to sign off on it.
When the FBI comes with a file and they want
FIS authorization, the judges approve it over ninety eight percent
of the time. Did you know that there are no
safeguards in place? Of course Ratcliffe knows that. Langford knows
(12:38):
that as well. But again I come back to just
a suspicion. I don't know anything, just a suspicion. Every
time I see a gopre in Washington wrap his arms
around Piza and give it a big sloppy kiss, I
automatically assume there are pictures of you with midgets out there.
I'm sorry, that's the way it works in DC. There's
no other reason you'd still be singing praises. Now, one
(13:01):
final word on Ratcliffe. I thought he did pretty well here.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
In twenty twenty, when a chairman of an intelligence committee
misrepresented that a laptop mooned by then candidate Biden's son
was somehow a Russian intelligence operation and fifty one former
intelligence officials used the imprimaiture of icy authority to go
(13:31):
along with that. I stood in the breach. I stood
alone and told the American people the truth about that.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It did, and I'm hopeful we'll see what he can
get done. All that may have made you uncomfortable, but
I am right. Will obviously continue during Confirmation week to
cover all of this stuff moving forward. Before we do
those things, I want to do something for you, something wonderful.
The gift of a great night's sleep changes everything. When
(14:04):
you get one, doesn't it. You get one, you just
spring out of bed, and you know, my mind's gonna
feel good all day. I'm gonna be in a good
mood all day. I'm gonna have the energy to get
done when I need to get done. And that's what
dreampowder from Beam can do for you. It's a cup
of hot chocolate. It's delicious. I should note if you
didn't know there were things in it, you'd never know there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Were things in it.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I sip on a cup of hot chocolate before bed,
and it has natural things in it, like belatonin, and
I just kind of zunk out and.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I wake up.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I sleep through the night and I wake up feeling great.
You want to feel like that every day like I do.
Shotbeam dot Com slash Jesse Kelly, We'll be back. Do
you support riauthorizing thighs twenty five?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Senator, I believe seven I know two is up in
twenty twenty six. Okay, I believe it's twenty twenty six,
and we will closely be looking at that.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
PIZA is a very important agree that the.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Seven oh two provides important intel gathering capability to protect.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Our nation, extremely important.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay, So, Pam, you're about to step into a job
that's one of the most important jobs in any democracy.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Chrissy one, We're not a democracy the United States, Senator,
I would hope would know that too, as I talked
about in the open, after all the abuses of our
rights we've seen by PISA. Every time I see a
gopiece senator talking lovingly about PHIZA, sorry, I see a
(15:48):
gopiece senator that has dirty pictures out there from the
intelligence agency.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Joining me now.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Melk author of the book Americans Anonymous Man. These these
gop types John horn In, James Naked, Kendall Langford, Lindsay Graham,
they sure do love them some Fizamel.
Speaker 12 (16:07):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't matter that it totally violates
the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment, or that it was
abused three million times in the first Trump administration. Let alone,
was how costs fire hurricane was set up. And don't
forget when they extended it, they made sure that Congress
nor anyone connected to Congress can ever be phis it
(16:27):
from seven oh two, so it exempted them as well.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
It's purely unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That always seems to work out for these people. So
explain to people now for those maybe maybe people are
just now tuning in, getting to wear the political process. Paisa,
what do you mean abused? How's it been abused?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What is it? How they abuse it?
Speaker 12 (16:48):
Okay, Well, PISA seven oh two is basically a way
after the unconstitutional Patriot Act. It was passed to spy
on people without a warrant, without the knowing using the
NSA database. And basically this can be for any reason.
So they can, you know, Chris Ray or anyone else
(17:09):
can say somebody is a threat to national security and
they're going to open.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
A file on you. And the OIG came.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Out with a report about the abuses of PISA being
over three million Americans during the Trump administration and after,
certainly during January sixth were violated by the PISA abuse,
but also ten thousand agents inside the FBI and the
intelligence community violated the rules of PISA in order to
(17:34):
spy on American citizens. First of all, FISA should be
only for foreigners. But really what they're doing now is
what they do is they use FISA and then anyone
that anyone that they're going after with PISA who's spoken
to that person, they're going to jump to and allow
themselves to spy on that person. And honestly, what's scary
is that this is all coming through while they're trying
(17:56):
to push the true real ID and the track and
trace surveillance at the airports and the global public infrastructure
with PALL ANDEER. So when you look at the big picture,
the PISA is really one step closer to literal Big
Brother in America without any control because now they're entering
AI into the PISA database collection. So, I mean, it's
(18:19):
very dangerous and it's totally unconstitutional.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
So what do you make of the corn and James
Lang for Lindsey Graham types and how much they love it.
Everything you just said is an easily verifiable fact. It's
not even an opinion. These are things that have been
well documented. But Lindsey loves it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Why mel Well?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
I think it's because of control. I think it's also
these people are very siloed the entire I see all
of the different agencies. After nine to eleven, we're supposed
to come together and work together. That is not what's happening.
What is happening is that they are very siloed into
different groups. So it's very possible that Langford and Lindsey
Graham and these people are getting information predominantly from the
(19:00):
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that this is crucial
to finding terrorists in America. But we all know that
that's not what it's about, and it never was. It
really is about a full track and trace surveillance system
like in China that these same people funded and built
that they want to run here, pretending that it's for
our own safety.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
Yet, again, what.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Are the concerns do you have about pam bonding? She
did very very well today, kept herself together. There were
some answers to some questions that certainly annoyed me. I
guess I'll put it that way. What are your concerns?
Speaker 12 (19:36):
Well, my one concern is still I am still concerned
about what happened with the George Zimmerman case when she
was the AG. I know that she's done a lot
of great work and she really really knows the entire
Ukraine impeachment scenario because she defended Trump. But something did
happen with Ray Krump and Eric Holder during the Zimmerman
case where she was instrumental in reopening a totally roval
(20:00):
bulk self defense case as a civil rights case under
the DOJ National Security Division and Bilt Crump put up
a witness that was not the real witness, and everyone
knew it, and she must have known it. I would
like to have somebody question her about what happened during
the George Zimmerman case because there was a lot of really,
really bad stuff that set off the Black Lives Matter
(20:22):
uprising that had to do with reopening that case as
a civil rights case with Eric Holder than cementing the
whole idea that the white supremacists were the problem in America,
and that was a key moment in the Black Lives
Matter fueling their fire towards the summer of riots.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
One thing that was apparent today during the hearings was
these people were concerned about Cash Patel taking over the FBI.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Here was this exchange, would.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
You have hired someone into the Florida Attorney General's office
who you knew had an enemy's list?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Senator, to cut to the chase, you're clearly talking about
Cash Pattel. I don't believe he has an enemy's list.
He has great experience in the Intel Department, Department of Defense.
I have known Cash, and I believe that Cash is
the right person at this time for this job. You'll
have the ability to question mister Patel.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
And I'm questioning you about whether you will enforce an
enemy's list that he announced publicly on television.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Oh, Senator, I'm sorry. There will never be an enemies
list within the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Why are they so worried about Cash?
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Well, a, because they spied on Cash with the seven
oh two. So let's remember that. Also because Cash, Battel
and Devin Uda has put in twelve criminal referrals and
have all the evidence. And also beyond that, Cash is
the one who, more than anyone else, has identified the players.
A lot of people don't talk about the names of
who's behind law FEA, who's behind WESSEXEC advisors, what they've
(22:03):
been doing behind the scenes in the shadow government. Cash
knows all of that. And frankly, it's not an enemy's
list against anyone except for the people of the United
States of America who were lied to for over ten
years about everything having to do with Donald Trump and
Russia Gate and all of that. Those are That's not
an enemy's list. That's a list of people that should
(22:23):
be held accountable for breaking the trust of the United
States citizens and for lying to this country and cahoots
with the media for total distraction. While we could have
been building our country back, they were tearing it down
behind the scenes. And Cash knows where the bodies are buried,
So I don't blame them for not wanting him there.
But he's got all the evidence that he already needs.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this, Mel as always, I
appreciate you Come back soon, all right, Sean Parnell is
going to join us. In a moment before Sean joins us,
Sehn's a veteran. He was at the Pete hag Seth
hearing we had When are people.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Who actually fought for the country. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, when we talk about Puretalk, you know that there's
Ceo Walk the Jungles of Vietnam, not just one tour,
not that that would have been bad, but two tours
with Macvsong. People look at Pure Talk and the things
they do. They hire Americans, they give back to veterans,
and they ask why why don't they give the planned
(23:24):
parenthood and all the other crap that all the big
guys do.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Well.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Pure talks about this country, all about this country, top
to bottom. And you'll pay less. You keep your phone,
you keep your number. They make it easy. That's the
most important thing. They make it easy. If it's a pain,
you're never gonna switch. But Puretalk makes a cake. Go
puretalk dot com slash jessetv saves.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You even more money. Switch to pure Talk. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
It had to be a long day yesterday for old
Pete and Seth joining me now. My friend a man
who was there yesterday, Sean Parnell, veteran host of battle
Ground Live. Sean, my word, were you just sitting there
mainlining ibuprofen all day long?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
That had to be brutal.
Speaker 14 (24:32):
Give that man the silver Star for that performance, for
having to endure that. That was a strange strategy to
have him come in there and just be berated by
you know, angry not just not just women senators, but
just Democrat senators.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
And I would also.
Speaker 14 (24:50):
Say very very uneffectively, So for what was over a
four hour hearing. And you know, the crazy thing, Jesse
is is that Pete did a really he did a
really great job. He was calm, he was composed, he
was measured. He understands these the issues of the Department
of Defense and the Pentagon at a deep and substantive level.
(25:11):
So he's got it all on lockdown. But did you
notice the Democrats their strategy how they started with policy.
When that wasn't working, they went to the whole women
in combat thing. When that wasn't working, they went right
to attacking this man's this man's personal life. And that
kind of stuff just makes me sick because anytime there
(25:34):
is an effective conservative that is right on the policy,
that can articulate themselves effectively and sway the American people,
they start assassinating character. And that was the playbook that
they used yesterday, and they were trying to knock Pete
hegseeth off. But I don't think they're going to be successful.
I think he's going to be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, it was ugly.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
In fact, I didn't even play that Tim Caine clip
from yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It was so gross. But I guess since you brought
you brought it up, Sean, So who was.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
Can you so casually cheat on a second wife and
cheat on the mother of a child who had been
born two months before? And you tell us you were
completely cleared?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So how was that a complete clear? Senator?
Speaker 10 (26:16):
Hear the child's name is Gwendolen Hope Hegseth, and she's
a child of God, and she's seven years old. And
you cheated on the mother of that child less than
two months after that daughter was born, didn't you. But
you acknowledge that you cheated on your wife, and that
you cheated on the woman by whom you had just
fathered a child.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You have been met at that.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I will allow your words to speak for them.
Speaker 10 (26:39):
You're not retracting that today.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's good.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
I assume that in each of your weddings you've pledged
to be faithful to your wife. You've taken an oath
to do that, haven't you. Many of your work. Colleagues
have said that you show up for work under the
influence of alcohol or drunk. I know you've denied that,
but you would agree with me right that if that
was the case, that would be disqualifying for somebody to
be Secretary of Defense. And I'll just conclude and say
this to the chairman. You claim that this was all anonymous.
(27:04):
We have seen records with names attached to all of these,
including the name of your own mother. So don't make
this into some anonymous press thing.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Sean.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
My question is, yeah, it's gross, it's awful, it's terrible,
oil's all those things. But does this stuff work anymore?
Or did the Kavanaugh hearings? Was that their last hurrah
for this kind of stuff, and now the American people
are just it.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
Yeah, Jesse, if I had to guess, I haven't seen
any poll numbers or any sort of public testing on this,
but I don't think that this stuff works. In fact,
I think it has the opposite effect. The American people
are just tired of this. And let's talk about the
Senator from Virginia, Tim Kane. This is a guy that
endorsed Bill Clinton and had no issues with any of
(27:54):
his behavior. This was a guy that was on the
ticket with Hillary Clinton, and of course we know all
about Hillary Clinton and how she waged a war against
all of the Bill Clinton's accusers during his time in
the White House. Had nothing to say about that. The
hypocrisy here is astounding. And moreover, contrary to what Senator
(28:17):
Kine said, these are indeed all anonymous allegations, every single
one of them.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
There hasn't been one single name attached to any of these.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
And what was fascinating yesterday during during the hearing is
that Hegsath's team was able to figure out the Democrat
line of attack prior to the hearing. So if you
watched it, you'd see all of these allegations, false allegations
leveled by the Democrats because that all they have are
are lies and hoaxes. Seriously, oh, you mismanaged finances at
(28:50):
Vets for Freedom. So then a Republican senator would read
a statement from somebody from Vets for Freedom saying I
was a CFO, Actually our finances were great, Oh you
missed managed finances at CBA. Then this statement from the
follow on executive director of CBA is like, actually I
followed Pete in this role, and he gave me a
powerhouse of an organization. So the entire I mean to me,
(29:13):
Pete hegg Seth walked out of there, and ultimately he
did exactly what he needed to do to sway public sentiment.
And part of these hearings, Jesse, as you know, is
just just be able to maintain composure, why you take
your licks. Pete was able to do that as well.
And the most important thing is he was able to
sway Jony Ernst to vote for him, which essentially means,
(29:33):
you know, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you know how politics goes,
essentially means if nothing changes by the twenty first, which
is that the day the full Senate votes, he seems
like he is, he is going to be a lock
for this position. And that is just so important because
Pete's testimony and that hearing yesterday really set the tone
(29:55):
for all of Trump's cabinet nomination. Couldn't let Pete get
knocked off, because as if we did, they would have
just rolled out the same strategy against Cash Battel and
RFK Junior and Tulse Gabbert.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
It would have just been the same darn thing over
and over again.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
So President Trump could not have asked for a better
leadoff hitter in this regard.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Speaking of taking your licks, where's Kamala Harris beIN? She
seems to have just disappeared since the election.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Yeah, and the people of California are paying for it.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
You know, if you're the sitting vice president, your husband
is a resident of Los Angeles, those people have been
devastated by the wildfires out there. By the way, complete
uniparty Democrat control out there, super majority control for decades.
It says why I say that Democrat, the new Democrat
Party and Democrat policies are an existential threat to America
(30:48):
because of stuff like this. In good times bad leadership,
maybe people can.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
Get by and not notice.
Speaker 14 (30:55):
But in times of great crisis, that's when real leaders rise,
Jesse and rise to the moment. Here she is that
she has all the power of the executive branch, the
sitting vice president. She actually ran for president. She could
have told Joe Biden, you know what I'm done. I'm
going out to Los Angeles. I'm going out to California,
and I'm going to stand up and lead because nobody
(31:17):
out there can seem to do the job but not
only has she not done that, she's told the people
of California, Hey, just slow your role, be patient while
the government figures this out. Thank God that we dodged
this bullet of a Kamala Harris presidency, because this woman
is a disaster. And I'll also say the Democrats seem
(31:37):
to think she's gonna be the front runner for twenty
twenty eight. Good name her at the top of the
ticket again, because I would love to give her the
slacking of a lifetime. It's because she's just the worst man.
She's the worst.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Sean James o'keef got some undercover video of a Pentagon guy. Well,
here he was, And I work at this top consulting
firm and my client is the Pentagon, So I'm embedded
in the Pentagon. I work in the Joint Staff, which
(32:12):
is the top military command.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
What's your overall assessment of truck.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
He's a sociopathic narcissists.
Speaker 14 (32:21):
He's only interested in advancing his name, his wealth, and
his faith.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Is there anything you can do to protect American people
from the stuff that he might try to do.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'm in conversation with a couple of retired generals.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
To try to explore what we can do. Well, that's horrifying, Sean.
Speaker 14 (32:50):
Yeah, it is because not a single American citizen, Democrat
or Republican by the way, voted for any one of
these disgusting federal bureaucrats. And by the way, if you
are a federal bureaucrat, I don't care what you want
to call them, call him a member of the blob,
the deep state, and trench bureaucracy, whatever. You work at
the behest of the president. So you can disagree all
(33:10):
you want, but if you're going to actively work against him,
and again this goes Democrat or Republican, I took an
oath to protect and defend the constitution. We elect presidents
in this country. If you're going to be a bureaucrat
that's working against the president, one, if you're identified, you
should be fired. If not, if you would disagree with
the president, it can't continue to do your job, then
quit go away, because ultimately, what these people do, when
(33:33):
we talk about the deep state or the entrenched bureaucracy
or whatever, they work against the American people. And just
watching that video that you showed here here they are
inside the Beltway at a swanky DC restaurant that probably
ninety percent of the American people couldn't afford to eat there.
They sit there and talk about how they know better
(33:53):
than the very people that put President Trump in office. That,
my friend, is a real problem and it needs to
stop in five days when Trump goes back to the
White House.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
No doubt, Child, host of Battleground Live, I'll talk to.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You again, Sue my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, we had a couple of chicks on the
house floor, Jasmine Crockett Nancy Mace throw poop at each other.
It was embarrassing, kind of hot. We'll talk about it
with a panel next.
Speaker 15 (34:29):
Somebody's campaign coffers really are struggling right now, so she
gonna keep saying trans trans trans so that people will
feel threatened and child, listen, I won't you.
Speaker 12 (34:41):
I have no child to call me a child.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I am no child.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
I won't even stand out. I'm a growing of those females.
I a brocately have ceilings and man time, you will
not do that.
Speaker 15 (34:52):
I am chiming my time.
Speaker 16 (34:55):
You want to take it out, it's the chairman and committee.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Order point of order, point of order, order, order order.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Look, I enjoyed it, Like I said, maybe they can
hug it out or whatever. Joining me now, my friend
and as Stetman's senior policy analysts for the Independent Women's Forum,
and of course Terry Shielding, President of American Principles Project.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Okay, Terry setting aside.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
The hug it out part, it really doesn't bother me
because I consider the House of Representatives to be an embarrassment.
So when I look at another embarrassment that's on camera,
it's just one more embarrassment on top of a whole
mountain of embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Not sure why I should care.
Speaker 16 (35:40):
Look, this is a total mess, right, This is a
total disaster, Jasmine Crockett, is an embarrassment to Texas. This
is exactly why we don't need more progressive women in Congress.
I would much rather it be four hundred and thirty
five and as Stepman's because they're calm, they're cool, they're rational,
and they're small, and they want to do the right
(36:01):
thing for this country. They don't want to destroy it.
Jasmine Crockett using this trying to suggest that the only
reason Nancy Mace is talking about this is to phillip
her campaign Coffers, Where were you four or five years ago? Right,
this is not a very popular fight to pick. It's
only popular now because we won an election over it,
and it's because of that that Donald Trump's in the office.
So Jasmin Crockett's an embarrassment. She did the thing with
(36:24):
the Black Lives Matter, right, She's projecting they were running
low on campaign funds, so then they started the whole
Black Lives Matter movement off of these criminals and people
that were killed by cops that were robbing places and
using counterfeit bills. So I'm not surprised. This is typical
progressive behavior in Congress, and no one else should be
surprised either.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I don't necessarily disagree about the embarrassing ness. I don't
even know if that's the word. I didn't go to
college of Jasmine Crockett. She even got the hair toss
in there. But Nancy Mays is, in my opinion, is
no less embarrassing. To be honest, Yeah, she'll fall down
on the right side of an issue you every now
and then, But a reputation is that of a nasty hag.
And to be honest, if you will pardon my French,
(37:06):
she seems like a bit of an attention hound.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I realize there are kids watching.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
Look, I'm going to rip a joke from my friend
and form a colleague, Emily Jishinski, and say, I think
these two ladies were actually just trying to demonstrate to
Pete Hegseth that women can be in combat and they're
demonstrating on the of the Congress right now.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Now, this is embarrassing. This is not behavior.
Speaker 13 (37:32):
I don't think either one of them, frankly, is behaving
in a way that's becoming of somebody who actually wields
serious power in this country.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
And just to say something serious for half a second.
Speaker 13 (37:41):
I know this is a Jesse Kelly show, but you know,
this kind of behavior is obviously it's funny like sort
of on the surface, but there is a deeper problem here,
which is that like, these people aren't actually accountable.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
They wield real power.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
It's easy to sort of make fun of this, but
they wield real They don't.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Take any any seriousness or accountability. And that's the problem.
Speaker 13 (38:05):
Just you know, throughout a lot of the ranks of
our government is that they wield a lot of power
and they don't want to be responsible for it. And
they'd rather do these little clips and flip their hair
and like go back and forth and these kinds of exchanges.
And maybe we deserve it because we the voters, rarely
punish them for this kind of behavior.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Well know, its just staying with you.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
How could I look at it any other way. I mean,
when people talk about how embarrassing their congressman is, their
senator is, I always like to go back and look
at the results of the last election and voila. Looks
like the people up their district love this crab. Yeah,
Jasmine Crockett's a piece of trash. The people in our
district district, they love pieces of trash. Nancy Base is embarrassing.
The people in our district, they.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Love that crab.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (38:49):
Well, you know that's that's democracy at some level, right,
you vote for the clown that will pull the lever.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
For the things that are important to you, hopefully.
Speaker 13 (38:59):
But yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of
seriousness in terms of accountability. And unfortunately, perhaps this is
the result of a you know, sort of long period
in which America, although we face many many domestic, very
serious challenges, right, we haven't been an era of great
power warfare for example, for a while.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
You know, maybe one.
Speaker 13 (39:19):
Hopes that seriousness will return if that comes to pass.
Hopefully it won't, but if it does, one hopes at
least that there will be some serious people left in
the government to deal with problems like that. But look,
after COVID, I'm not optimistic about that.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Sobering us up, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Neither am I. Terry. There's a bill right now.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Tommy Tapperville is all over it about banning men and
women's sports. This comes back to something I hate to
be king cynic all the time. But yeah, that's fine
and pass a bill. But when you get to the
point as a country where you have to pass bills
to stop dudes from beating up chicks in sports, you're
not in a healthy place. Even if the bill passes,
(40:01):
you're in a bad, bad place.
Speaker 16 (40:04):
No, that that's exactly right, Jesse. I could not agree
with you more. And why are we passing? And think
about this? Look, I fully support these bills. I am
I'm the you know, the trans guy. That's the joke.
Emily just says, she says that I'm the trans guy,
you know, But think about this, we're passing a women's
sports bill. That has a better chance. Protecting girls' sports
has a better chance of passing than banning sex change
(40:27):
procedures for miners. Right, banning sex change procedures for miners
that chop off healthy young girl's breasts and alter young boys'
bodies and sterilize them. These drugs that they give them,
by the way, Jesse, they they're too cruel for us
to give to sex offenders. Right, that it's too cruel.
It's illegal to give them to sex offenders, but we
give them to children to affirm their gender. That has
(40:49):
less of a shot of passing.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Than women's sports.
Speaker 16 (40:52):
So I agree we're in a very unhealthy spots of
the country, but I think it's starting to turn around,
and you start small and hopefully you get bigger.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
And as what do you make of Pam BONDI? Everybody
I talked to who's familiar with hers says fairly pretty
much the same thing. Very qualified, very competent, that she'll
do a solid job. But I personally am not looking
for a solid job. I'm looking for government criminals to
be arrested, and I don't know that's what I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
What do you make of her?
Speaker 13 (41:18):
I think that's probably going to have more to do
with Trump than Pam Bondi. I mean, I have the
same assessment of I guess, of all your friends, Jesse.
She seems very serious, intelligent, and actually I think somebody
of that nature, a little bit of a quieter nature,
is actually very, very necessary to actually clean out the
rot in DOJ because a lot of the stuff that
(41:40):
went down is ultimately about judgment calls within an institution,
and it's going to take somebody with some kind of
institutional knowledge and a lot of patience to actually unwind
who did what here? And so I think even your
for your purposes, if you want to see people brought
to justice for misusing their power again to see American
(42:00):
people in a politicized way, then I think what you
actually need is somebody a little bit like Pambondi. But
can I comment on that bill, because IW we were
a big proponent of this this bill. Obviously, I think
this is a wonderful bill. It's necessary. It's sad that
it is necessary. I want to point out how necessary
it is. Most Democrats voted against this bill. You say
(42:20):
it's so basic, right, and now the Democrats are gaslighting
us into saying that no no, No, that was never
a really big problem that men were in women's sports,
and nobody claimed that men could actually become women, and
that was just such a side issue and it was unimportant,
and blah blah blah. I know Terry hears this all
the time, right, that the cultureal issues are unimportant. There
are only two Democrats in the entire House who are
(42:42):
brave enough to vote in favor of this extremely basic bill.
Both of them, I believe, Hispanic Democrats from Texas. Okay,
so the vast majority of Democrats voted against this very
basic and simple bill to disallow to disallow bureaucrats from
writing gender identity into the Civil Rights Act by unilateral
(43:04):
authority and allowing therefore men to go into women's sports,
the most basic thing you could ever imagine, and almost
all the Democrats voted against it.
Speaker 16 (43:13):
Can I add on to that, Jesse, real quick, because
I think it's a huge reflection on the Democratic Party. Right,
these are half of the country is represented by these sick, twisted,
evil people that have no concern or care for our
women or daughters or our children. Right, it's not you
pull this issue and it's a seventy thirty issue the
vast majority of Americans are very good on this.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
But they're elected representatives.
Speaker 16 (43:35):
They're Democrats, and these weak Republicans who have been holding
this stuff up for so long, those are really the
problem here.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
No doubt. Terry and Az appreciate you both come back
to all right, fighting the mood. Thanks, it is time
to lighten the mood. And for this light in the mood,
(44:05):
I thought maybe we should pay homage to freshman senator.
I don't know him yet. Maybe he'll be a disaster,
maybe he'll be wonderful, but maybe sealed Tim Sheehy got
elected its senator, bounced out a loser Democrat, and my
home state of Montana, well my former home state, and
I did very much enjoy his line of questioning with
(44:25):
Pete hag Seth. I can't wait to have somebody as
sec deef who actually knows about weapons.
Speaker 9 (44:33):
How many genders are there, tough one, Senator, there are
two genders.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I know that well. I'm a Shihi, so I'm on board.
Speaker 9 (44:41):
What is the diameter of the rifle round fired out
of an M four eight one rifle?
Speaker 7 (44:46):
That's a five five six?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
How many push ups can you do?
Speaker 7 (44:50):
I did five sets? Of forty seven this morning.
Speaker 9 (44:52):
What do you think our most important strategic base is
in the Pacific?
Speaker 13 (44:56):
In the Pacific, Guam is pretty strategically significant.
Speaker 9 (45:00):
How many rounds of five, five, six can you fit
into the magazine off an M four rifle?
Speaker 7 (45:05):
Depends on the magazine, but standard issues thirty?
Speaker 9 (45:07):
And what size round is the M nine Bretta standard
issue side aren't for the military?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Fire a nine millimeter senator?
Speaker 9 (45:16):
What kind of batter is you put in your night
vision goggle?
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Duracel?
Speaker 9 (45:22):
So right there, you're representing qualifications that show you understand
what the warfighter deals with every single day in the battlefield.
You understand what happens on the front line where our
troops will be
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Pretty good, I'll see them
