Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Thursday. Of course,
it is an ask doctor Jesse's Thursday. We're gonna talk
about ice arrests. We're in. Someone wants to know if

(00:33):
he can get a VIP membership to the show. Do
I wish I'd run for office? Are we ever gonna
get the information we went from the Trump assassination, all
that food, Ukraine stories galore coming up on the world
famous Jesse Kelly Show. And yes, I will get to
the Epstein stuff that dropped in two or three hours ago.

(00:55):
I'll get to that. In just a moment, I decided
I needed to go and be honest with you right
off the bat. Though you know I told you I'm
gonna be gone tomorrow. I will also not be here Monday.
I hope to be back Tuesday. My aunt just died cancer.

(01:20):
She was a wonderful, wonderful, godly woman. So she went
home say a prayer for the family, you know, kids, grandkids,
everywhere she was just she was. She was a saint
of a human being. And so now I need to go.
I need to go pay my respects and be with
my mom and things like that. So sorry that I

(01:42):
will not be here. Sorry I won't be here Monday.
I'll try to be back on Tuesday. It's a week
in rock and roll. But that's kind of why we're
doing ask doctor Jesse Thursday today. And I felt like
I owed you an explanation, So there it is. Okay,
all right, now let's move on past all that, and
let's let's discuss your disappointment with the Epstein files today.

(02:03):
We we were told forever this is coming. We're going
to release the Epstein files. We're going to release the
Epstein files. And I don't know what I'm going to
say is going to make you feel better, but it might.
What happened today wasn't surprising. I told you last night
exactly what today was going to be, told you exactly
what it was going to be, That it was going

(02:23):
to be a bunch of names. You already knew, a
bunch of stuff. You already knew that there's all kinds
of legal hurdles and things like that. So that what
happened today is exactly what I told you was going
to happen last night. You're not surprised by it, but
I assume from my emails you're disappointed. I get it.
First of all, let me say this, if I have

(02:45):
to make excuses for them, and I don't know that
this even counts as an excuse, if I have to
give you a reason why all this stuff drops, Pam
Bondi has been stonewalled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Gee,
what an incredible shock. The Attorney General of the United
States of America has told the FBI I need this,

(03:07):
and the FBI said, nah, not giving it to you. Now,
you can go ahead and let your mind run wild
on why the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be so
protective of information on an international sex trafficker. I'll let
you come to that conclusion on your own either way.

(03:29):
What they've told us repeatedly is that this is the
first drop, and there will be more drops to come
once they get all the information. Okay, Now, I'm trying
not to be a terrible cynic and bring you down,
but it's my job as Daddy Jesse to let you know.

(03:51):
I don't know that I would ever prepare for some
groundbreaking thing that is still to come. I had a
chance talked to well Marsha Blackburn. To her credit, Tennessee
Senator Marsha Blackburn has been all over this Epstein stuff
for a long time. She's one of these people. She
really really hates human trafficking, which I would hope we

(04:12):
all do, but she's one of those things. She's made
it her mission to go after human trafficking and this
was her earlier today. I actually spoke to her earlier today.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
This is going to be a phase one release in
short order. I will have the hard copy in my hand.
Ag Bondi is responsible for what will be the public
release on this. She has worked diligently on this and
so appreciative that we can begin to get this information,
that we can begin to break apart what became a

(04:42):
global human trafficking sex trafficking ring, about one hundred and
fifty billion dollar a year business. It is time to
get some justice for these victims, for these women and children.
And this will be a phase one release. There will
be more to come.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
There will be more to come. They are going to
I talked to Like I said, I talked to the Senator.
They're combing through the financial records now to figure out
who was doing business with him. But remember what I
told you last night those names today, some of those
names they already know. Some of those names are names

(05:23):
of people who didn't do anything wrong. They just happen
to do business with him, fly on a plane with
him being his orbit. But you know, Jeffrey Epstein, I'm
assuming did more in his life than just traffic underage girls.
So this is this is going to be a long
slog and at the end of it, I know what
you're hoping same thing. I'm hoping. You're hoping that powerful

(05:45):
monsters who turn into predators against young girls. You're hoping
that justice has done that we see some people go
to prison. That's what you hope, That's what I hope.
I'm right there with you now. That doesn't happen often,
does it. How often do su powerful people go to prison.
It's just not something that's that common. So I'm not
going to sit here and tell you justice is coming

(06:06):
and they're all going to prison. I'm not going to
lie to you. I don't know that. I'd bet my
mortgage on that. I'll tell you that much more will
come out soon. I do think in the wake of
everything coming out today, I just I think it would
be appropriate to talk about this really quickly. Here. Two
hundred and fifty four. That's the number of girls we're

(06:27):
talking about. Two hundred and fifty four young women were
abused by very powerful men. And it should remind you
that there is so much evil in this world, that
the devil is real, that slavery. As much as we
love to reach our around and pat ourselves on the back,

(06:50):
that slavery's done, and I'm so glad we're done without
old era, that old era is not gone. Slavery as alive,
is as alive and well today as it ever has
been in human history. No, by the grace of God,
we don't have black people in chains in the South,
by the grace of God. The Romans aren't running the
salt mines where they're working slaves to death, by the

(07:12):
grace of God. Those types those days are past. But
the slavery we have now that is global. The slavery
we have now is just as sick and depraved. And
it's because human beings they can turn evil, and there
is evil in the world. And if you are evil,

(07:33):
you will want to possess and abuse and hurt people
who are less powerful than you. And that kind of
evil has always been with us and always will be
with us. I might suggest right now that those women,
they're probably having a tough day. You know, Remember there

(07:54):
are real human beings here. Epstein has become a politically
popular you know, it's great for radio and social media
and Epstein this, and Epstein didn't kill himself and all
these other Epstein things we talk about, myself included. But
there are young women out there. Well a lot of
them are older now, but there are women out there who,
with all this stuff in the news, are reliving the

(08:16):
worst freaking moments of their lives. And I shouldn't even
say moments. One woman was eight years eight years. I
talked to Senator Blackburn earlier. Eight years. She was kept
us a slave. That's awful, it's evil. Keep those women

(08:37):
in your prayers. And I don't know that we're going
to see justice. As I pointed out, I don't know
that we will. It's just not something that's that common.
I'm glad we're going to learn more. I had hoped
to learn more than we're gonna than we learned today.
But as I warned you last night, it's just probably

(08:57):
not going to work out that way. No, as I
told you last night. Trump isn't on that list. I
told you he was, and I had already known that.
Trump said this today.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I was not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein, and you
watched people yesterday saying that I threw them out of
a club. I didn't want anything to do with him.
That was many, many years ago. It shows you one
thing that I have good tastes.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, all right, I'm glad Trump's name isn't on that
list as well, because it would be easy to find
yourself on that private plane heading down to the island.
It's an ugly, ugly thing. And we'll actually we're going
to talk about the Trump assassination attempt in a little
bit because someone hasn't asked doctor Jesse question about it.

(09:41):
But part of the reason, remember that we don't generally
get justice and these kinds of cases, is because wealthy,
powerful people have the money, have the access to people
who will clean up problems for them. Jeffrey Epstein, we
all joke about it. We all know he didn't kill himself,

(10:01):
or even if he did, he was forced to. He
killed himself while in custody, and the guards just happened
to be asleep and the camera's malfunctioned. Come on, come on,
I was born at night, but not last night, and
he's not alone. Another thing Senator Blackburn told me earlier today.
One thing I did not know. There was an infamous
French guy who did the exact same thing, just like

(10:21):
Jeffrey Epstein. Powerful guy trafficked women and lo and behold
while he was in custody before his trial. He died
in jail. What a shock. People who have incriminating evidence
against wealthy, powerful men generally don't live very long. Will
we ever get to untangle this not? I don't know.

(10:44):
I'm hopeful in the very least. I'm hopeful. Some reputations
are ruined if you're going to do that to young women.
But let's move off of it. It's kind of gross anyway.
Let's talk about the ice raids, shall we. Let's talk
about arresting the leakers, and let's talk about VIP membership
to the show before we get to that, and we
get to this email, Dear doctor knows hare that's not nice.

(11:08):
Rough Greens is great, but Fred needs a treadmill if
he's so out of shape that he needs to stop
and rest when you take him on a long walk.
Listen to me. We take him on walks every day.
It's not as if the dog doesn't get exercise. He
just doesn't have the fitness that other dogs and other
dogs I've had. We used to have labs. You know

(11:30):
what we do in Montana. I'm gonna get y ought at.
People are gonna say it's abuse. Whatever. They loved it.
We would we were out on the country roads to
get the dog good exercise. We'd put him out of
the truck and we just take off in the truck
and let the dog run behind the truck. And they
were like gazelles. Man, if we're run two three miles
and basically a dead sprint, get in just totally gassed.

(11:51):
Fred wouldn't make it ninety feet. He wouldn't make it
ninety feet at that pace, not in a million years. Look,
even rough greens can't get Fred shape all right. Now
he is healthier, his breath is better than it used
to be. Roughgreens really fixed Fred's digestive problems. He used
to have problems after every meal. He doesn't ever have them. Now.

(12:12):
Start sprinkling rough greens on your dog's food. All natural
nutritional supplement let your dog be healthier, even if they
can't keep up on walks, free Jumpstart trial bags at
eight three three three three my Dog or Roughgreens dot
Com slash Jesse. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.

(12:35):
I like it returns next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Odd eight Thursday, A wonderful Thursday. I understand that there's
it was probably not our finest day today as far
as the administration goes and my email, your emails, I
should say, reflect that the Jeffrey Epstein files rollout was

(13:00):
not the best PR moment in the world. The market tanked. Look,
it was a rough day. They can't all be winners.
It was a rough day. We'll dust ourselves off and
do it again tomorrow. All right. Look, think about what
I'm going through. I have a little personal injury of
a sensitive nature that I'm going through right now. What Chris, Okay,

(13:24):
I'll explain very carefully. You know, flaming hot Cheetos. Right,
we'll get to the ice arrests here in a moment.
You know, flame and hot Cheetos. Have you ever eaten
flame and hot Cheetos? Have you ever had a bag
of flaming hot Cheetos. You have, most people have an
American has. So what do your fingers look like after

(13:47):
you're done eating a bag of flaming hot Cheetos? They're red.
They're covered in that flame and hot cheeto dust, which
is delicious. And I ran to the sink washed it off,
but the fingers were most definitely still red. They were read.
Then I went and use the bathroom. I wished I

(14:11):
hadn't done that. Let's move on, Jesse. Why are the
people who alert ice or alert illegals about ice raids
not being charged with obstruction of justice? It seems all
the Department of Homeland Security is doing about them is
shaking their finger at them saying, don't do that. I'm
gonna tell you again. Can you tell us why not?
His name is Ken. He's referencing that I played the audio.

(14:35):
It was from a Los Angeles I played the audio
was last night of the night before of the guy
he was on the news, Chris Dick up that audio
if you have it, The anti ice guy. He was
on the news saying, hey, we are out there, we
are looking for ice everywhere, and whenever we detect ice,
we will pull out the megaphones, will announce to people

(14:57):
that you, oh, you have it here, play it, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Good the members of the coalition to do these patrols.
We've been doing the patrols for years in Los Angeles
and San Diego. But yesterday we had more than one
hundred and fifty people combing through the streets of Los
Angeles looking for any ICE activity, and early in the
morning we found two operations and we were luckily we
were able to defend those two communities from those ice rates.
What's working are the patrols. We're in every neighborhood of

(15:21):
Los Angeles this morning. Already, we have come through dozens
of communities of Los Angeles looking for ICE activity. We
do this at five point thirty in the morning because
we know that's when ICE starts their operations, so before
they can go and attack our community, we are looking
for them, and when we find them, we alert people
with megaphones.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
That works.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
The megaphones wakes up the people. They let them know
what's happening, and they also let ICE know that we're
there and we're not going to leave. We're going to
defend our community. We have the legal right to do,
so everything we're doing is legal. We don't intend to
break any laws. We are there to defend our community.
And more and more people are joining this cause.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay, so I know you're mad about that. I'm mad
about that too, And what I'm about to say is
gonna make you even angry. You're probably shout at me
or something like that. But it is true. I like
being in a free country. You like being in a
free country. There are obviously some negatives that come with

(16:20):
every single form of government. There's no form of government
that is perfect. There's no form of government that comes
without negatives, and communists have for the longest time. The
Soviet Union wrote about it extensively. They've used our freedoms
against us. The Soviets I read the I think it

(16:41):
was Sword and Shield. I was reading where they were stunned.
They were stunned that you could just drive up to
military bases in America and just take pictures of them.
You can just take pictures of the outside fence line,
you just take pictures of it. The Soviets were floored
by that. You could never get away with that. There
they just pull they'd pull you up against the wall
and shoot you in the face immediately. But you could

(17:01):
do that here here in the United States of America,
in certain ways I should say, I don't want to
say this is universal, so don't go out there and
be an idiot. It's not illegal to announce the presence
of law enforcement. And as much as I despise these

(17:24):
vile little street animals who are protecting all the illegals here,
I don't think I want to live in a country
where it is illegal to call out law enforcement. I
don't want to live in a country that makes that illegal.
Now when it's people we hate, like all these, you know,

(17:44):
people protecting the illegals, it makes us angry and we
want it changed. Let me ask you this question. What
if that was the FBI. What if that was your
neighborhood and you knew the FBI was showing up to
arrest your best friend who lives in your neighborhood because

(18:07):
he was praying outside of an abortion clinic. Would you
give your friend a heads up that the FBI was there.
I'll tell you right now, I would all day long.
I would, hey, Bud, run out the back door. Feds
are here. Sorry, I would. That's part of the cost
of living in a free country. All right, All right, now,

(18:29):
let's talk about history a little bit, but mainly I
want to talk about the assassination attempt of Donald Trump
and BIP membership. I want to talk to you about
the day the market had first. Did you see the
day of the market had? It wasn't good? And I
know you already saw. We discussed it last night. March
fourth is the day twenty five percent tariffs get slapped

(18:52):
on Mexico and Canada, with a ten percent increase on
China as well. I only say this to let you
know that there may be some uncertain financial times ahead.
This is not news to you. You get that. So
make some preparations, some preparations. How do you prepare? How

(19:13):
do you do that? Because you're not in control of
any of that. I'm not precious metals gold Cod will
handle it for you. They'll get some gold or silver
in your hands. They'll get it into your retirement so
you don't get wiped out and lose everything. Get a
free copy of their twenty twenty five gold and Silver kit.
You might even qualify for some bonus silver up to

(19:35):
fifteen grand of it, maybe even more eight five point
five eight one seven gold or go to Jesse likesgold
dot com. We'll be back. Jesse Kelly returns next. It
is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday.

(19:57):
Reminding you you can still email the show Jess at
Jesse callishow dot com. Always remember this. I love you.
Before I get to the assassination things, I do want
to get to that. An article came out today with
The New York Times. But Jesse, why don't you have
any sort of a VIP membership like many of your
colleagues do. It would be nice to have a way

(20:20):
to support the show other than just listening, with the
additional money not fit in your small hands. Okay, all right,
so let me explain because I've had this, I've had
this question before about, Hey, is there any way I
can get like a behind the scenes VIP membership thing?
Is there any way you can sell merch? Is there

(20:40):
any way you can do this kind of thing? And
so let me explain. Let me explain.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I have.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I've wanted to have some merch for people who have
merched for quite a long time. I have, and I
want to be very careful about what I say here
because I definitely don't want to make myself sound like
a good or decent person, of which I am most
definitely not. But I have lived a normal life for

(21:08):
virtually my entire life. I've been doing radio for six years,
media for six years. I was a marine and construction
worker and an RV salesman. And all the things you do,
I do, I've done them. That's been my whole life.
And by the grace of God, I stumbled backwards into

(21:32):
the best gig in the world, where I just get
to goof off with you all day and talk politics.
And yeah, I know I care about this stuff because
you've heard me get heated up. But we joke and
we talk about important things, and they pay me to
do this. They pay me to do this, and they
pay me well to do it. I don't desire an empire.

(21:53):
I'm just not in that way. And again, I'm not
trying to make myself sound like a great person or
something like that. But money, even I like money as
much as anyone else. I don't I have like I don't.
I like a steak, I want to drive a nice car.
I like to be able to pay my bills just
like anyone else. I like a nice vacation. I'm not

(22:14):
any kind of a saying here. I don't want to
be a billionaire. I don't have some burning desire to
do that. Nothing that drives me like that. I don't
I joke about wanting a boat. I'm never gonna buy
a boat. It's not who I am. I was raised simply.

(22:34):
I remain that way. When I tell you about red lobster,
that's not a bit. I love red lobster, I love
waffle House. I just went the other day with my sons.
That's that's who I am, and I am aware that.
For instance, well, I'll put it to you this way.
There's two ways you get to be on the air,

(22:54):
whether you're a podcaster or traditional radio like this is
I realized a podcast it and all that or whatever.
There's generally just two ways. Either you have a subscriber
thing where you charge someone a certain amount monthly and
then you don't have to have advertisers, or you have
advertisers because it's not a charity. You've got to have

(23:14):
one of the two. Right that it's not a charity,
it's got to make money otherwise, Ihart, it's not putting
it on the air. And I get that it's a
for profit business. I totally get it. I'm totally fine
with it. I have advertisers, they're partners of the show.
They're people, will I vet thoroughly. They mean a lot
to me. I don't want to add anything on top
of that. I just don't want to add something else

(23:37):
that I'm selling you on top of that. And I'm
not even telling you I'll never do it. But it
is not anything I have any desire to do at all.
I know you do want things like merch and I've
half promised that to you for six years now. God
only knows if it's ever going to happen. She can't
find anything that's made in America anymore. Everything's made in

(23:58):
Vietnam or Cambodia or whatever. I don't want to sell
that crap. So that's why I don't have some special
VIP membership or something like that. I don't like. I
don't like asking you for things I don't It's just
not what I like. Okay, does that explain it? So no,
there's no VIP membership. If anyone can tune in and

(24:20):
listen for free, all right, all right, Jesse, do you
think they'll get to the bottom of the Trump rally
assassination attempt. Who else was involved? Okay, so there was
actually an article that came out today in the New
York Post, and I wasn't even necessarily going to go
there tonight, but I thought maybe in the wake of
this question and whatnot, I thought I should answer it,

(24:42):
because this is not something I'm going to let go,
and it's not something you should let go. They tried
to blow Donald Trump's head off, and they almost succeeded
two inches. An assassin with a functional weapon look a
rooftop one hundred and forty eight meters away from the

(25:03):
President of the United States of America in an elevated position.
He lined up and he made the shot. Remember he
made the shot. He reconned the area. We know he
was reconning it at least a week ahead of time.
He reconned the area, got himself access to the area,
got a weapon, a long gun, into the area. He

(25:26):
made it onto the rooftop, and he made that shot.
Donald Trump should be dead. That's why I actually laugh
at people who write in Ah Jesse, you said they
were gonna they were gonna kill Trump or rest Trump.
You're so dumb. They did. He moved his head at
the right moment, two inches. He made the shot. By

(25:46):
the grace of God and God alone. Donald Trump is
still alive, and I believe he knows it. They made
the shot. We need to look at this thing as
they assassinated Donald Trump, because they pretty much freaking did. Now,
how does some dork pull that off? Could you pull
that off? I realized, we have a bunch of veterans

(26:08):
who listen in things like that, guys who are at
least familiar with weapons and some training and reconing things
like that. But even still, look, I'm familiar with that stuff.
I don't know if I could pull that off. So
how did this goober pull it off? And let's talk
about what else we know? We know we know? And
I know this because I heard it from the mouth

(26:29):
of a United States senator and I didn't get it secondhand.
Senator Ron Johnson told me to my freaking face that
immediately in the wake of this assassination, a man I
believe it was a gray suit, maybe a tan suit,
a man in a light colored suit, started directing all
the local law enforcement officers to text him all the
pictures in video they had taken of the guy. The

(26:51):
dead guy the teeth of the blood. Okay, well, obviously
the officers got the guy's phone number. It got back
to the United States Senate. The United States Senate looked
into it, and they found out the guy worked for
the ATF, and so Ron Johnson thinking, okay, well, maybe
he's there in some kind of maybe it's an official thing.

(27:13):
That's why he's collecting the picture. It's kind of weird
you would have a bunch of guys texted to you,
but maybe it's official. And Ron Johnson's people, he had
his office reach out to the ATF guy. The dude
lawyered up, not telling you call by lawyer. We know that.
What else do we know? We know that in the

(27:34):
wake of the Republican nominee, I realized it wasn't the
nominee yet. In the wake of the Republican nominee for
president almost getting his head blown off, and remember someone
else did get their head blown off. In the wake
of the Republican nominee for president almost getting his head
blown off, they pulled out a garden hose and they
sprayed off the roof right away. Have you ever been

(27:55):
to a crime scene before? I have. You don't want
to breathe, and the cops won't let you breathe. If
they're worth it, Why do you think they tape everything off?
Someone got murdered in the house, whatever the crime scene
of some kind, it is cut off, taped off because
everything needs to be investigated. They promptly sprayed off the building.

(28:16):
And then maybe the coup de gras of all this
before I even get to the article. And then they
cremated his body almost immediately, they cremated his body, the
guy who almost assassinated the Republican nominee for president, You
would hang on to that body for a long time.

(28:39):
We're gonna check this, We're gonna check that. We're gonna
go recheck this. We're gonna have a third party check this.
Nip throw in the oven, bob. These are all things
we know. What else do we know? We know his
parents won't talk to anybody. They're apparently hiding in their home.
Word is that they only go get groceries at three am.

(28:59):
That's the only time they leave their home. And you
could I understand it, by the way, if your kid
did something I get ed. But there's something in this
article from the New York Post today. What else do
we know. We'll talk about that in a moment. Before
we talk about that, let me talk to you about
finding the right employee. It's really hard. I mean, look

(29:22):
at the morons I'm stuck with. It's hard to find
the right employee. That's why zip recruiter is here for you.
Zip recruiter is here so you don't get stuck with
Jewish producer Chris or producer Corey. You can have somebody good.
In all seriousness, they're all on ZipRecruiter. The good people
are all on ZipRecruiter. That's why it's number one. It's

(29:44):
number one because that's where the employees are, and that's
why employers prefer it the most, because eighty percent of
them find somebody good on the first day. It's not
like I'm telling you why I wait a month or so. Tonight,
as you're listening to the side of my voice, you
could try for free at ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse
Tonight you might find that next choice employee. How about

(30:07):
that ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse. We'll go over this
article next. It's the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the
Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding you yigging down there the whole
show on iheard Spotify iTunes. Now back to what we

(30:28):
were discussing, the would be Trump assassin. Do I think
they're gonna get to the bottom of it whether there's
now there's a headline today New York Post Dana Kennedy's
the one who wrote it would be Trump assassin Thomas
Crooks may have had an accomplice. Data shows as investigators say,
the FBI is suppressing info. I'm not gonna read through

(30:48):
the whole thing because that's boring. You know, I don't
usually do that, but I'll I'll drop this little tibbit
for you. Doug Hagman, whose team of six other investigator
have been working the case for months and have interviewed
more than one hundred people, said they also conducted extensive

(31:09):
geo fencing analysis. Pause for a second, sorry. Geo fencing
is when they your cell phone. Right now, your cell phone,
it can be found. They know exactly where you are.
If you have your cell phone on you, they know
exactly where you are. It is constantly putting out pings
in signals, and if you walk across the street, they

(31:30):
can go back a year later and they'll know you
walk across the street, if you're driving fifty miles an hour,
they will know it all right, that's geofencing anyway. They
also conducted extensive geo fencing analysis of cell phone and
tablets not belonging to Crooks that were found with him
at his home, at the rifle range where he took
target practice, at the rally, and at Bethel Park High

(31:54):
School where he graduated in twenty twenty two. And Hagman
said this, and I quote, we don't think he acted alone.
This took a lot of coordination. In my view, Crooks
was handled by more than one individual, and he was
used for this assassination attempt. And I wouldn't preclude the

(32:14):
possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him,
which would actually make some serious sense, because it even
as dumb as his secret service was that day, as
inept unorganized, I still find it staggering that a man
with the long gun was able to crawl on top

(32:34):
of a roof and plane view of everybody. Now that's
all the stuff we know. Now. The question you asked
me is do I think they'll get to the bottom
of the Trump Rally assassination attempt? Well, here's the good news.
I'll give you the good news and bad news. The

(32:55):
good news is Donald Trump wants to know. Look for
obvious reasons, Donald Trump wants to know. Donald Trump wants
to know because he was the one who almost had
his brains blown out. He wants to know. I am look,
I shouldn't say I'm sure, but do you think maybe
he had a conversation with cash Ptel about that before

(33:17):
cash Betel was named FBI director. I'm assuming over a
beer that or I know Trump doesn't drink over a
diet coke. I'm assuming Donald Trump got at least some
form of a yeah, we're gonna figure it out, sir.
I'm assuming that Donald Trump wants to know. So that's good. Also,

(33:37):
all this geo fencing analysis and stuff like that, that
is good. So there's a chance we are going to
have the most powerful law enforcement agency on the planet
actually looking into it. Although from what we heard today
with the Epstein files and what we know about the
FBI cover up and what they said in the article
about the FBI suppressing stuff, maybe not. But either way,
Trump wants to know. So that's a good thing. That's

(33:59):
the good news. The bad news is people who do
assassinations like this. Historically, big assassinations, assassinations of important people.
They sever the links so nobody can know. That's generally

(34:21):
how it works. You know how it works. We talked
about it a million times. They find a patsy. Do
you find somebody who will kill someone important for you?
That's usually how it goes. You know, in the movies
it's some highly trained ex Special Forces assassin who makes
the shot from two thousand miles away. But in real life,
that's not how assassinations go at all. Assassinations normally have

(34:47):
a powerful person or organization finding a patsy they can
use and abuse to commit the assassination, and then finding
a way to almost immediately kill the patsy. Why do
you kill the patsy because he's the one link that
can lead everybody back to you, Lee, Harvey Oswald just

(35:09):
miraculously gets paraded in public in front of everybody, and oh, whooped,
Jack Ruby killed him? Dang, guess we'll never know. Philip
the Second has somebody slam a dagger. His bodyguard actually
slam a dagger into his ribs and instead of tracking
the guy down, pulling his fingernails out until he tells
you who paid him to do it. Wouldn't you know?

(35:30):
They ran him down? And oh, I guess we speared
him too many times. He's not going to talk. Joe Colombo,
mob boss, killed in broad daylight in front of everybody.
Some black dude kills him and immediately gets gunned down.
And to this day we don't know who gun down
the black dude dead, gone, all ties severed. It doesn't

(35:51):
matter how much Trump or Cash Bettel or other people
may want to know. I don't know that we ever
will know. And that sucks, it really does. Now we
do have a bunch of data, Like they said, they
have phones that didn't belong to him, they have tablets
that didn't belong to him, and those things are going

(36:13):
to be traceable back to somebody. So maybe there are
enough bread crumbs. With a motivated president of the United
States wanting to know where those bread crumbs lead, maybe
there will be enough motivation, enough pressure put on that
maybe will get an answer. But I've told you before,
I don't I don't. I don't mince words about it.

(36:35):
I think the government did it. I think the government
was involved. I do you look at what the system
is going through right now. Look look at all their
communist revolution being defunded before their eyes. Look at it.
Look at how desperate they are, how afraid they are.
What's happening right now is the sum of all their fears.

(36:59):
And these are obviously murderous communist demons anyway. Would they
kill to try to protect the gravy train? Oh my gosh,
they would. How many times have you seen some crazy
comedy I wish Trumpet's dead? They can't, They can't. They
say it all the time. Communism and violence they are won.

(37:19):
Violence is woven into the communists. It's not something he does,
it's who he is. And evil people communists or know
they will kill to protect themselves. Now. I don't know
that that the government was involved. I don't know that,
but that's what I think, being honest with that's what
I think. All right, let's talk about do I regret

(37:43):
losing my run for Congress? And let's talk about churches.
Let's talk about taxes on tips versus your taxes. We
have so much to get to before we get to that.
Let's take care of your meat, shall we. Let's make
sure every time you make a steak it's perfect. Every time,
no matter the thickness, every time it's perfect. Every time

(38:05):
you smoke a brisket, it's perfect. Anytime you throw a
whole chicken on the grill or in the oven, it's perfect.
How do I get it perfect every time? When I'm
a moron who doesn't know how to cook? The IQ
sense from Chefman, The IQ Sense. I've never seen anything
like it before. Yeah, we've all heard of meat thermometers.
You've never heard of one. You stab it in there,

(38:26):
you leave it in there that hooks up to the
app on your phone. You want to talk about dummyproof,
we might as well just call it jesseproof. My phone
beeps and tells me when the brisket's done. I put
it in there, I throw it on the smoker and done,
walk out, perfect brisket. Every time you want perfect meat
like I have, chefiq dot com promo code Jesse is

(38:51):
how you save fifteen percent have perfect meat every time
