Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Wednesday. Got all kinds
of things coming up this hour. We've got BK talking
form policy stuff, and a half hour I am going
to get to this Wisconsin school stuff. But the emails
continue to pour in because something is on your mind.
(00:37):
So I'm going to have to discuss it, and I
guess in a long way discuss it and tell you
why I'm not discussing it anymore, which kind of doesn't
make sense, but.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Here it is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So for the last three days now now now we're
on day three. For the last three days, the national
converse sation has been about the private group chat of
big shot officials in the Trump administration from the Vice
(01:10):
president on down, discussing sensitive national security issues and a
weapons grade communist being included on that group chat. Now,
maybe you're just now joining me, so I need to
catch you up on something before I explain exactly why
(01:32):
I think what I the way I think. Now, I
said initially that somebody I didn't name a name because
I don't know a name. I don't know a name.
Somebody has to be fired for this. Why did I
say that, It is not because the left gets a
scalp or because you need to give them a scalp.
(01:53):
There's nothing to do with them at all. Set the
Communists aside for a moment. In the United States Marine Corps,
I just want I want to I'm gonna lay something
out for you. When we would deploy anywhere, especially in Iraq. Now,
remember I wasn't some Marine raider, green Beret, Navy c
I wasn't BKA. I was just a regular infantry grunt
(02:14):
in the Marines. You got lecture after lecture after lecture.
We're told repeatedly that you are never, under any circumstances
allowed to disclose to family members, friends, anybody back home
where you are what you're doing. You don't get to
(02:38):
write your mom a letter, send your mom an email
and said, hey mom, we just got to Fallujah hunkering
down this month. That is such a gigantic no that
you undoubtedly would be demoted if you did it, And
depending on the situation, depending on the command, you might
be locked up for that sort of a thing. That's
(02:59):
how military intelligence works. You don't discuss these things. Okay,
So what I said was whoever did it has to
be fired, not for the communists, because one, that's how
you show accountability to the troops on the ground, but
more importantly too, Trump has to show these people this
(03:21):
level of negligence will not be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Period.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't care if it was an accident. I don't
care if it was a boo boo. Now that said,
a mistake is a mistake, and you can get quickly
from the point where you're addressing it to the point
where you're only dragging it on and hurting yourself. And
(03:47):
part of the reason I wanted that person fired when
the story came down on Monday, is you fire them.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It's wrapped up. That's your answer. You move on. Hey,
what about this this leak signal thing? Pick a name.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
We'll call it Michael Waltz for now. But I don't
know that it's Waltz, right, I don't know that, but
we'll call it Michael Waltz for now. Oh the signal thing, Yeah,
it was Mike Waltz. We dug into it. Mike Waltz
has been fired. We're moving on.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Boom. Story's dead gone. Accountability.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But if you don't do that, then what you do
is oh, exactly what we've seen here. We are we
are now on day three, seventy two hours removed. And
this is what the press conferences sound like.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We are not going to be lectured about national security
and American troops by Democrats in the mainstream media who
turned the other cheek when the Biden administration because of
their incompetence, No.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Answering questions about the whole thing. This is what it
sounds like in Congress.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And your knowledge, you know whether Pete Hexatt had been
drinking before he lead classified information?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is what it sounds like in Congress.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And now how we're treating Secretary Hedgepeth if he is untouchable.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
These are the questions. Cash Bettell has answered you that it's.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Now time potentially for the FBI to open an investigation
into this. I'm not going to comment on that because
you're the director of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Again, the entire press conference.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Here's just one example of how bad faith the democrat's
criticisms are. Democrats.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There's such a thing as the nuclear news cycle. I
coined that phrase in case you're wondering why. Because we
live in a unique era. It can be great and
it can be terrible depending on how you take it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
This unique era.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
In this unique era, you can feel outrage from everywhere,
an outrage, scandal, bad things will spread like wildfire, and
for a brief period of time, you will feel the
fire of a nuclear bomb raining down on you. If
(05:58):
I went and got a du tonight, I'd be getting
texts from my mother an hour after it hit the
New York Post? Did you really go up? Did you
drive drunk? I taught you better than that. My neighbors
are texting me, Hey, Jesse, what's going on? I've got
emails from the New York Times? Did you really? Would
you care to comment over? You feel like the world's
coming down on you. That's the bad part. But the
(06:19):
good part is this. If you simply shut up, keep
your head down, maybe quickly address it. Fire someone, if
you have to issue an apology, something, move on, shut
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Because it's the nuclear news cycle.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Just like a nuclear bomb, it burns hot, but it's gone.
Quickly hunker down for a day. There will be a
new scandal, there will be a new outrage.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
There will be a.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
New thing that comes along, and everyone will forget about it.
I wanted the Trump administration to fire somebody and then
move on. Nope, it was addressed, we found it, we've
and we moved on. Instead, we have to listen to
things like this. This is and this is someone on
(07:09):
our side. This is Michael wats On, Laura Ingram. We
have to listen to this and tell me this doesn't
make you WinCE with how evasive this is, how kind
of gross this listen, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Well, look, he staffer wasn't responsible, and look, I take
full responsibility.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Okay, let's let's start that again. A staffer wasn't responsible,
so he said that there wasn't some staffer. He takes
full responsibility.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, look he staffer wasn't responsible, and look, I take
full responsibility. I built the I built the group to
My job is to make sure everything's coordinated.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But how that's acute?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I mean, I don't mean to be pedantic here, but
how did the number have.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You ever had?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name
and then you have an and then you have somebody
else's mistake? Right, You've got somebody else's number on someone
else's contact. So of course I didn't see this loser
in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether
he did it deliberately or it happened.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, no, hold on, hold on? Did what the question was?
How did the number get in there? You said it
wasn't a staffer, You said you'd take full responsibility, but
you also said you didn't add the number, but someone
added the number? Who who added the number?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And then you know, of course he goes off, I'm against.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Some other technical mean is something we're trying to figure out.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you're a staff No, let's do that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So of course I didn't see this loser in the group.
It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it
deliberately or it happened in some other technical means something
we're trying to figure out.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So whether he did it deliberately or whether it happened
some other technical mean. Now we're going on nightly news
programs acting like the scummy communist reporter what added himself
to the group chat? Come on, now, come on, now,
(09:08):
this is what I mean. Find the person responsible. I
don't care if it's a staffer. I don't care if
it's Mike Mauls, I don't care who it is. Find
the person responsible, immediately fire them and move on fire them,
because the administration has to know and has to send
the message this kind of negligence won't be tolerated if
(09:29):
you don't do that, if you choose to instead go
the other way, then you will have what we are
now in the middle of. We are now on day
three of this being the entire news cycle. You can't
go five seconds without hearing people talk about it, and
answers like this are exactly what.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know, Laura.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the people
out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the President,
who has lied to go Star families, lied to their attorneys,
and gone to Russia, hoax, gone to just all kinds
of links to lie and smear the president of the
(10:13):
United States. And he's the one that somehow gets on
somebody's contact and then gets sucked into this group.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
What does that mean, gets on somebody's contact and something
do we believe Jeffrey Goldberg is Jason Bourne? And he
what did he did? He link up with NSA through
back channels in the Chinese and he added him said,
come on, I was born at night, but not last night.
(10:42):
This is why I raged the way I raged on
Monday because I knew I could see what was happening
in Watch. Tomorrow will be day four of it drives
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
All Right, We'll be.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Back the Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at
Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It is The Jesse Kelly's Show on a wonderful, tremendous Wednesday,
a hook day. Okay, So that's another word on kind
of what we're discussing last hour about rules.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
No, you can't. You can't deport them.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's against the law, it's against a constitution.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That would defy a judge. Wisconsin's school apparently told girls
they have to change in front of a male student.
That's from the Populous Times. Essentially looks like this school
in Wisconsin told these girls if they tried to use
the private stall, they'd be accused of bullying. Teacher kept
(11:41):
yelling and said he was going to put us on
the no pass list. The communist doesn't care about rules,
and when he can, he'll simply make disgusting rules and
then use your love of rules, your your love of
being a rule follower, He'll simply use those against you.
(12:01):
That's how it works. We cannot allow the communists to
use things against us. I watched the Right New to
itself with this time and time again, and the funniest
part is the communist doesn't care about any rule.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Number one challenge here that we see and is, of course,
the First Amendment in the United States is a fairly robust.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Protection of rights.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And that's the problem. Have you ever, ever, have you
ever described the First Amendment as being a problem.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Why is it that?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Why is it that Democrats constantly are saying things like this,
Member Joe Biden one of his favorite lines he used
during his four years, No amendment is absolute.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, these people have no use at all for the
Constitution or rules. It's something to be ignored, something to
be dismissed. Well, if that's how they're going to operate,
and we're going to make sure we follow all the.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Rules, well I've got bad news for you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I know who wins that game. If your football team
decides they're going to play by the rules and my
football team decides they're gonna hide brass knuckles inside their shorts,
I know who's gonna win the football game. Jesse, I
hear your show all the time. It's cool you were
just referring to Snap Benefits and soda pop. Well, one
(13:27):
thing drives me nuts. I'm sure you might be aware
that Schwan's food trucks except EBT and Snap. I've witnessed
it with my own eyes. People eat off the truck.
You have no idea the rage this email fills me with.
What Chris, That's exactly why it fills me with rage.
(13:48):
Chris just said, what's the Swan's food truck? You never
saw one of these, so I don't know how it
works down here in Texas. I can only tell you
what we saw in Montana. There was a food truck.
Apparently they still exist. I didn't even know they were
still around, called Schwans. They're uh I remember, I remember,
(14:10):
I think they're yellow, yellowish whatever. They're food trucks. And
as a kid, I thought this was the coolest thing
in the world. They would just drive around. This is
before I remember, this is before door dash and all those
other things. They would drive around delivering things like frozen
pizzas and milk instead of basic food necessities. You could,
(14:33):
I think you could sign up for it. They would
deliver it to you. The reason it makes me so
angry is. I always wanted my parents to sign up
for Schwab, but they always said, we don't have the money.
We don't have the money. That's a waste of money. Gosh,
I want to sign up for that so badly. What Chris,
What how sweet would that be to have all the
milk delivered to your house? Frozen pizzas delivered to your house. Dang,
(14:57):
I'm so freaking jealous, Chris, don't even look it up.
You'd never the prices or whining Jesse. This guy says,
I don't want to hear about your frustration with your
taco joint. I want to hear about the great new
breakfast joint you found and how you can't believe you
ever ate those other tacos ps. I thought we only
had powdered days in Montana, States where skiing is king. Okay,
(15:20):
I spoke yesterday about why I was in such a
terrible mood yesterday. It was because my go to breakfast
taco joint moved to powdered eggs. Or they may have
just been the eggs out of a carton like a
milk carton. You've seen those before, Chris. They saw them
in a grocery store man, what kind of a life
do you live? Yeah, it's really really gross, or yeah,
(15:42):
yeah it's really gross. Anyway, my breakfast taco joint is ruined.
Here's a little secret about breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Just gonna lay it out there, and I know I'll
catch a bunch of heat for it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But eggs, using real eggs, that is, they all really
taste pretty much the same.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Cheese. You're gonna get the same kind of cheese.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I got it, Chariso, charriso what Chris, It's gonna taste
the same.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
The tortea.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
If you're at a decent breakfast taco place, you're gonna
get a decent tortilla, the taco itself, the burrito itself.
It's not necessarily the star of the show. Like so
many things in life, the star of the show is
the sauce. It's the salsa. For me in particular, it's
(16:43):
the salsa very day, Chris. That means green salsa in Mexican.
It's the salsa very day. You see a good salsa
very day is rare. Everyone has one. Everyone has one.
They're not all good. The breakfast taco place. I feel
in love with It wasn't because of the tacos.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Which were very good. But you can get those tacos anywhere.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
They had the most delicious, spicy, perfect amount of zip
to it, salsaverity. And that's what's been taken from me.
That's why I was in such a bad movie yesterday. Honestly,
I still can't.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I can't shake it. I'm still in the same mood today.
I can't shake it. Don't shake your head, Chris, it's
a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Maybe we'll ask.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
BK about that. You know what, I'm in the mood
for skittles. I'm gonna get some skittles for when I
talked to BK. Before I get to the skittles, I
want to talk to you about nine dollars. You know
that home movie you have or that box of home movies. Yeah,
VHS tapes, cam quarter tapes. You need to digitize those
(17:47):
because that film it's getting dusty, getting old, heat, cold, humidity,
it's fading every single day, and there's going to be
a day you put in that tape and you don't
get to look at those pictures, those videos anymore of
the wedding or whatever else. But if you just digitize
that with Legacy Box, you keep it forever. And Legacy
(18:10):
Box has a huge sale right now sixty five percent
off nine dollars a tape. Think about your tapes. Nine
bucks a tape and Legacy Box will not only digitize
it to you ninety days of free Legacy Box Cloud access.
You only get that at Legacybox dot com. Slash Jesse
(18:35):
nine bucks a tape. Look, buy the box now, send
it whenever Legacybox dot com slash Jesse BK.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Next the Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at
Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And as promised, joining me now is my friend, and
I see he chose to introduce me with a song
about me today BK host of the Great World News
with BK, former Air Force PJ BK.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I appreciate that tribute to me, Jesse.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
As you know, producer Chris dragged me off the beautiful
sier Inavada mountain where I was shredding it skiing, and
that's why I chose the music and certainly had nothing
to do with you.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I didn't know that you were a skier, but now
that I think about it, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Not very surprising to me at all.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Are you one of the you know what, you're a
California guy. I figured you'd be a snowboarder with a
joint or something like that.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I mean, the joint is in play, however, snowboarding. Snowboarding
is for people who cannot properly ski, and therefore I
reject it totally.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, b K, all right, I'm gonna give you one
more word on this, and then, as I mentioned earlier
in the show, I'm moving off of vicause I don't
think we need a hand all week of the news
cycle to this terribly embarrassing event. But as many people
on our side try to excuse what happened with the
signal chat, it's awful, it's terrible, it's inexcusable for people
(20:13):
at that level. I believe somebody should be punished severely,
whoever that is, and I don't know who find the
person responsible. They should be fired immediately, the same way
that private would if he lost his MVGS.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But either way, I give the floor to you.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Uh yeah, Jesse, You're one hundred percent right. It is
baffling to me how many people the mild criticism I
have put forth saying this is unacceptable. And as you said, Jesse,
a private would have been maybe in Fort Levenworth by
now over this colossal screw up that is just inexcusable.
(20:49):
And the people I see on the right just saying, oh,
this is nothing, burger if there weren't any plans. I'm like, dude,
did you read the group chat? Pete he accept this
sitting here going at twelve fifteen pm, the F fifteen
fighter jets are dropping bombs on the target and I'm like,
what are you thinking? Why are you doing this? This
(21:11):
is completely unacceptable, Jesse. I knew a guy who was
investigated by the Office of Special Investigations in the Air Force,
a highly skilled operator who told his wife what date
he was coming home from a deployment. He was extremely
lucky he had to stand tall before the man. Just
for that and the fact that Pete hegg Seth and
(21:33):
Mike Waltz, who by the way, follows me on Twitter,
I didn't know that before I trashed him on Twitter.
Think this is no big deal is shocking to me.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Look, I know, I know, I get it. You want
to own the Libs. I want to own the Libs.
Jesse you want to own the Libs. That doesn't mean
you can't say when people screwed up. This is the
most obvious screw up in the history of screw ups.
And for all these people complain that I focus on it.
You are the same people who raised tell about every
(22:06):
stupid thing Joe Biden's Department of Defense did, and there
were many. This you have to be better. They promised,
we're gonna be better. That doesn't take away from some
of the good things that they are doing. But this
is such a total, stupid, preventable screw up. You're right.
Instead of saying, Jesse, you know what we are, we are,
(22:27):
we are, we apologized, we screwed up. There is going
to be discipline, and it's never gonna happen again. Jesse.
That would have been a one day story. But what
did they do. They sat there and talked all this
idiotic stuff when they knew a journalist who hated them
had possession of all of the messages, and predictably, once
(22:48):
he was called a liar, he released everything he had,
which showed that indeed they did do colossally stupid stuff.
And oh, by the way, according to the Department of
National Intelligence, using signal is unacceptable for this kind of talk.
It's idiotic. They could have avoided the whole thing. First
of all, you shouldn't be on signal to begin with.
(23:10):
Second of all, you could have avoid the whole thing
by just taking some damn accountability. Jesse, I'm tired of
the lack of accountability. Come out and say, Jesse, how
many times were you the Marine Corps? What's the better
answer making excuses or saying Roger that sergeant I screwed up.
I've learned my lesson. It's not gonna happen again. Which
way would you go, Jesse?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Kelly, So, I'm so glad you brought it up, bkay,
because this was when this is why I went off.
I think whatever day it dropped Monday, Tuesday, I forget
and I said someone has to be fired immediately. And
you just brought up the Marine Corps. This is a
perfect example of how it works in life. When you
screw something up in the Marine Corps, you are going
to pay. You are going to usually pay with physical
(23:51):
pain in some way. The physical pain will be severe,
but very quick. If you own it, that's on me, sir,
I'll get it done. Aren't lying you start, well, I'm
not really sure. It was kind of corporal.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Now you're in for a world of pain for a
week if they allow you to.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Live exactly Jesse and where That's what I'm saying, I
expect better. I was not happy with the nomination of
Pete Hegseth. Listeners to the podcast know that very well.
I expected better of him. All you have to do,
you own it. You don't sit there and make excuses,
especially Jesse, when you know the entire text chain is
(24:29):
he has it. Why would why unearthed would you come
out and say, oh, well, you know, we weren't leaking
plans or anything like that, and now you want to
Now you want to haggle over the meaning of war
plans versus battle plans versus all this idiocy. No, you
come right out and say, you know what, we screwed up.
This is a mistake. We're gonna look into it and
(24:50):
we're gonna be better, and it's never ever ever going
to happen again. That's what I, as a former NCO
noncommissioned officer, would expect from my troops. That's what an
officer would expect me. They don't want to We're not
trying to hear all this. Well, you know it's a
little bit uh, it's a little bit debatable. No own it,
(25:12):
and they didn't. It was a huge failure. I'm extremely disappointed,
and especially Mike balt who I thought was Mike Waltz.
I should say who I thought was going to be better.
I apologized Jesse. I was on the mountain skiing, I
had three I pas at high altitude. You know.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Speak well.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
First of all, yeah, I'll play the audio again. I
played it earlier. But yeah, this is I winced during
this entire line of questioning. By the way, I have
a mouthful of skittles.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Well, look, hey, staffer wasn't responsible, and look I take
full responsibility. I built the I built the group to
My job is to make sure everything's coordinated.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But how that's acute?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
I mean, I don't mean to be pedantic here, but
how did the number?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Have you ever had?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name
and then you have an and then you have somebody else, Right,
you've got somebody else says number on someone else's contact.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So of course I.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like
someone else now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
And it wasn't it wasn't a staffer because it wasn't
a staffer, but it definitely also wasn't me. And because
this guy's a bad guy, he's also Jason Bourne, who
added himself to the chat. It looks small, and I
honestly I expect better. Forget members of Congress, they're losers.
Mike Waltz is a Green Beret. I expect better than that.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Yeah, he should have been way better. He is ultimately responsible.
So you can blame staffers all you want. Hey, the
buck stops here. We've all heard that saying before you're
the man, you're in charge. If you want to blame
some low level staffer, fine, but you should also say,
you know what, as the boss, I take full responsibility
(26:50):
for this. It's never gonna happen again. And he didn't
do that, and I and it's mind.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Blowing to me.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
This is such an easy win. And Jesse, let's say
that you know and I know that if this would
have happened on the Joe Biden administration, these same people
who are screaming like, oh this is no big deal,
would have been screaming for heads. They would have been
screaming impeachment. Is it too much to ask for a
little consistency, especially when you were the people who were like,
(27:17):
these people are incompetent. We've got a new national security
team and we are going to be better. And you
know what, Jesse, it's disappointing because I'm hearing from guys
on the ground that since the Trump administration Pete HEGs
has took over, morales improved, things are getting done and
that's great, but that this all shoves that to the side.
(27:38):
And it's just super irritating to me that nobody can say, like, dude,
you screwed up. And I'm just it's an easy, avoidable situation,
and I can't, for life with me, can't figure out
why they're just not saying we screwed up. Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, it drops me up the wall, because when you
eat skittles, are you a one skittle at a time
guy or a handful guy?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
First of all, Jesse, the skittles do not pass these
lips because, as you know, thinks that I have coursing
down my lower abs into my upper side are extremely
aesthetically pleasing, So of course, I'm not going to allow
this big sugar with the red dye number six to
pass these lips. That's just not going to happen. I
(28:22):
subsist on vegetables, fruits, and steak and chicken, and that
is all Jesse. Forget the skittles. I'm taking them away
from you right now.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, the guy who's been mainlining IPAs with snow Buddies
for the last three hours is going to lecture me
about a handful of the skittles.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
B Kay.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I hate to keep you away from the IPA or
the mountain, but I did want to ask you about
Russia Ukraine real quick.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Do you have another couple of minutes?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Yeah, sure, let's do.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It all right, We will be right back with b K. Now.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I will tell you this in case you're sitting there
judging me about the skittles. I also take my relief
Factor with my skittles. Does relief Factor cancel out what's
in the skittles? Of course not, but it does eliminate
(29:10):
my pain. You see, relief Factor is one hundred percent
drug free. It's a supplement. I feel better when I
take supplements with my skittles.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What does relief factor do?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why would I bother taking this every day because it
reduces the inflammation in my body. You hurt because something
is inflame. That's why your back hurts, your wrist hurts,
your knee hurts. What you need to do is help
your body fight it. That's what relief Factors for. Call
one eight hundred, do the number four relief or go
(29:42):
to relief factor dot com. Try it for three weeks.
You don't like it, don't order anymore relief Factor dot Com.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We'll be back.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Jesse Kelly, it is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a wonderful,
wonderful Wednesday, a hump day back with our friend host
of the World News with BK.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Podcasts, which I would highly recommend b K. Okay, so
let's go to that World News now that we're off
of all that signal chat stuff, and let's talk about
the who thys how that's going Russia Ukraine? We have
a peace steal, but we don't have one. We have
a ceasefire, but not really just in the Black Sea.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
B K. What's going on in the world?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Well, Jesse, first of all, you know Ukraine has i
thought this was the biggest story. Ukraine is actually calling
out the Europeans at this point because, as you know, Jesse, like,
you know what, the Euros hate us now because we're
actually talking about, like, hey, maybe we need some answers
for all the US taxpayer dollars are spending in the
Ukraine and all the Euros condemned us. The funny thing
(30:49):
to me is the top Ukrainian negotiator named igor Zovka
has come out and said like, yeah, hey, we really
appreciate your European lead coming out and saying like we
support Ukraine, but at this point, we need troops on
the ground that are ready to fight and not peacekeepers.
He said, quote, we don't need a mere presence to
(31:12):
showcase that Europe is present and present end quote, which
means he's saying crap or get off the pot. So
I'm looking to these European leaders and I'm like, okay, now,
what you've talked a big game in Ukraine is now
saying hey, we need fighting men. Is Europe really prepared
to send fighting men into Ukraine? Is Europe prepared for
(31:35):
the headline when fifty at a time get vaporized in
a single engagement. I'm very, very curious to see that,
because they've been talking a lot of crap about America
and about our maybe questioning our support at this point,
I'm very curious to see if Europe is actually going
to send troops on the ground and how that's going
to receive When the first ones start coming home in
(31:55):
body bags.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Have them and I know that they're not our military.
I realized that their military spending is pathetic and it's small,
and I understand all that, But France does have a military.
They certainly have some beasts in there. I realize those
are more tip of the sphere types like you. But
France has got some fighting men that are certainly worthwhile.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yes they're they're individual fighting men are very good, albeit
very few of them. The problem is, you know, this
is this is we're in a combined arms environment Jesse.
Combined arms means sea, air land all coordinating to mountain,
assault and fight and win a war. These European countries
have let their air forces and their navies go to
(32:37):
crap over many, many years because they all knew that
Daddy America was here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
To pick up the tab.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
And now, all of a sudden, at the first sign
of saying, well, you know, I don't know if we're
going to keep funding this. They're panicking, and they're panicking
because they know they don't have that now. As far
as their individual special operations forces, yes they are very good.
The French top tier. Germany has top chier troops, but
half of Germany's air force can't even fly, Jesse. This
(33:06):
has been going on for many, many years, and they've
let it go and now they're all talking crap about us,
and now Ukraine is saying, okay, well, hey, we'll take
some help. And as you know, Jesse, we've all seen
the videos on social media. There is no way that
individual infantry soldiers are going to make a difference in
(33:26):
this war. We've all seen them getting vaporized. You need
a combined air, sea and land power, and none of
these European countries have it as much smack as they've
talked towards us. So I'm very curious to see what
the response to.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
That is going to be.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay, final question, we do have that power, and we
are currently raining that power down on the wo this
we're even texting them ahead of time apparently, But how
is that whole thing going.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Well, the whuthis I mean, we had to respond. I
mean everybody who's kind of bagging on Trump because he's like, hey,
no more wars. Right. The thing is that the Houthis
are controlling the Red Sea and they're attacking merchant ships
that cannot be allowed to stand. We are not going
to allow a bunch of savages in Yemen to disrupt
global trade. So that is one of the few things
(34:14):
I will very much support is vaporizing these tribesmen over
in Yemen who want to screw with us and screw
with our GDP on our economy and the European economy
as well. So I think that it was the right
thing to do to send a message. I'm curious to
see the actual battle damage assessment of what we did
(34:38):
to the Hoothies and if it deterred them in any way.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
You sound skeptical, Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Well, as we know Jesse and Iraq in Afghanistan. Right,
You smoke a few dudes and then they regroup and
come back. The thing is, if you have an enemy
who's willing to die for the ideology, that is a
very dangerous enemy. I don't care if it's twenty guys.
That is a dangerous enemy because most people are not
willing to die for an ideology. The Whosies are willing
(35:08):
to die for an ideology.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Bekay, the snow bunnies. Beckon, please return to the mountains
and have yourself a time, my friend, I'm going back
up Jesse.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
And i gotta tell you I'm shirtless. I'm shirtless on
the mountains. It's sixty degrees and like Kyle, the twenty
and pythons are just pumping and the things are throbbing,
and I'm going for it right now. Thank you for.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Having me just go, Just go his BK, host of
World News with BK, and BK's a friend. I'm just
gonna level with you right now. I'm not sure he's
kidding if you told me right now. In fact, I
wouldn't put it past BKA. This is the kind of
(35:54):
thing he will do just to harass me and make
me miserable. B K. I'll give it a fifty fifty shot,
and I'll let you know if it happens. He will
go back up to the mountain shirtless, and he will
get on a chairlift and text me a selfie from
the chairlist. Chairlift of Hymn of him shirtless. This is
the kind of harassment you get when you're friends with
idiots in meatheads like BK. I'm telling you it's coming,
(36:16):
you know what, Chris, I'm gonna block his number for
a couple hours because I know it's coming. I can
already see it coming. I know it's coming. What Chris, Oh,
that's a good point. If I unblock it, it'll come through.
I'm just gonna block BK forever. If I need to
talk to him, we can go through you, Chris. All right,
let's do an email here, dear mashed potato hater. When
(36:39):
I became a manager, my company started to giving me
seventy five dollars a month as a phone stipend. What
I haven't told them is I spend less than sixty
dollars a month for unlimited talk, text and data through
pure Talk.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I love getting an extra fifteen dollars a month for
saving money and supporting an America loving company instead of the.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
One hundred and seventy I used to pay at AT and T.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Don't say my name because I don't want to lose
this ha ha switch to pure Talk save a bunch
of money while also feeling really good about where you
spend your cell phone money because Pure Talk loves this country,
and you're not sacrificing anything. You'll even have to give
up your phone or your phone number. You're not sacrificing
(37:26):
a thing. You're not giving up your network. You know
they're on the same network, the exact same one zac,
same five G network. Switch You'll love yourself for it,
especially when the bill comes. If for no other reason,
switch for the same reason Chris would the money Dial
pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two
(37:48):
five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money.
We still have a whole hour hang on
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Wednesday. Got all kinds
of things coming up this hour. We've got BK talking
form policy stuff, and a half hour I am going
to get to this Wisconsin school stuff. But the emails
continue to pour in because something is on your mind.
(00:37):
So I'm going to have to discuss it, and I
guess in a long way discuss it and tell you
why I'm not discussing it anymore, which kind of doesn't
make sense, but.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Here it is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So for the last three days now now now we're
on day three. For the last three days, the national
converse sation has been about the private group chat of
big shot officials in the Trump administration from the Vice
(01:10):
president on down, discussing sensitive national security issues and a
weapons grade communist being included on that group chat. Now,
maybe you're just now joining me, so I need to
catch you up on something before I explain exactly why
(01:32):
I think what I the way I think. Now, I
said initially that somebody I didn't name a name because
I don't know a name. I don't know a name.
Somebody has to be fired for this. Why did I
say that, It is not because the left gets a
scalp or because you need to give them a scalp.
(01:53):
There's nothing to do with them at all. Set the
Communists aside for a moment. In the United States Marine Corps,
I just want I want to I'm gonna lay something
out for you. When we would deploy anywhere, especially in Iraq. Now,
remember I wasn't some Marine raider, green Beret, Navy c
I wasn't BKA. I was just a regular infantry grunt
(02:14):
in the Marines. You got lecture after lecture after lecture.
We're told repeatedly that you are never, under any circumstances
allowed to disclose to family members, friends, anybody back home
where you are what you're doing. You don't get to
(02:38):
write your mom a letter, send your mom an email
and said, hey mom, we just got to Fallujah hunkering
down this month. That is such a gigantic no that
you undoubtedly would be demoted if you did it, And
depending on the situation, depending on the command, you might
be locked up for that sort of a thing. That's
(02:59):
how military intelligence works. You don't discuss these things. Okay,
So what I said was whoever did it has to
be fired, not for the communists, because one, that's how
you show accountability to the troops on the ground, but
more importantly too, Trump has to show these people this
(03:21):
level of negligence will not be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Period.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't care if it was an accident. I don't
care if it was a boo boo. Now that said,
a mistake is a mistake, and you can get quickly
from the point where you're addressing it to the point
where you're only dragging it on and hurting yourself. And
(03:47):
part of the reason I wanted that person fired when
the story came down on Monday, is you fire them.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It's wrapped up. That's your answer. You move on. Hey,
what about this this leak signal thing? Pick a name.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
We'll call it Michael Waltz for now. But I don't
know that it's Waltz, right, I don't know that, but
we'll call it Michael Waltz for now. Oh the signal thing, Yeah,
it was Mike Waltz. We dug into it. Mike Waltz
has been fired. We're moving on.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Boom. Story's dead gone. Accountability.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But if you don't do that, then what you do
is oh, exactly what we've seen here. We are we
are now on day three, seventy two hours removed. And
this is what the press conferences sound like.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
We are not going to be lectured about national security
and American troops by Democrats in the mainstream media who
turned the other cheek when the Biden administration because of
their incompetence, No.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Answering questions about the whole thing. This is what it
sounds like in Congress.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And your knowledge, you know whether Pete Hexatt had been
drinking before he lead classified information?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is what it sounds like in Congress.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And now how we're treating Secretary Hedgepeth if he is untouchable.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
These are the questions. Cash Bettell has answered you that it's.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Now time potentially for the FBI to open an investigation
into this. I'm not going to comment on that because
you're the director of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Again, the entire press conference.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Here's just one example of how bad faith the democrat's
criticisms are. Democrats.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There's such a thing as the nuclear news cycle. I
coined that phrase in case you're wondering why. Because we
live in a unique era. It can be great and
it can be terrible depending on how you take it.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
This unique era.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
In this unique era, you can feel outrage from everywhere,
an outrage, scandal, bad things will spread like wildfire, and
for a brief period of time, you will feel the
fire of a nuclear bomb raining down on you. If
(05:58):
I went and got a du tonight, I'd be getting
texts from my mother an hour after it hit the
New York Post? Did you really go up? Did you
drive drunk? I taught you better than that. My neighbors
are texting me, Hey, Jesse, what's going on? I've got
emails from the New York Times? Did you really? Would
you care to comment over? You feel like the world's
coming down on you. That's the bad part. But the
(06:19):
good part is this. If you simply shut up, keep
your head down, maybe quickly address it. Fire someone, if
you have to issue an apology, something, move on, shut
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Because it's the nuclear news cycle.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Just like a nuclear bomb, it burns hot, but it's gone.
Quickly hunker down for a day. There will be a
new scandal, there will be a new outrage.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
There will be a.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
New thing that comes along, and everyone will forget about it.
I wanted the Trump administration to fire somebody and then
move on. Nope, it was addressed, we found it, we've
and we moved on. Instead, we have to listen to
things like this. This is and this is someone on
(07:09):
our side. This is Michael wats On, Laura Ingram. We
have to listen to this and tell me this doesn't
make you WinCE with how evasive this is, how kind
of gross this listen, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Well, look, he staffer wasn't responsible, and look, I take
full responsibility.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Okay, let's let's start that again. A staffer wasn't responsible,
so he said that there wasn't some staffer. He takes
full responsibility.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, look he staffer wasn't responsible, and look, I take
full responsibility. I built the I built the group to
My job is to make sure everything's coordinated.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But how that's acute?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I mean, I don't mean to be pedantic here, but
how did the number have.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You ever had?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name
and then you have an and then you have somebody
else's mistake? Right, You've got somebody else's number on someone
else's contact. So of course I didn't see this loser
in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether
he did it deliberately or it happened.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, no, hold on, hold on? Did what the question was?
How did the number get in there? You said it
wasn't a staffer, You said you'd take full responsibility, but
you also said you didn't add the number, but someone
added the number? Who who added the number?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And then you know, of course he goes off, I'm against.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Some other technical mean is something we're trying to figure out.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you're a staff No, let's do that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So of course I didn't see this loser in the group.
It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it
deliberately or it happened in some other technical means something
we're trying to figure out.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So whether he did it deliberately or whether it happened
some other technical mean. Now we're going on nightly news
programs acting like the scummy communist reporter what added himself
to the group chat? Come on, now, come on, now,
(09:08):
this is what I mean. Find the person responsible. I
don't care if it's a staffer. I don't care if
it's Mike Mauls, I don't care who it is. Find
the person responsible, immediately fire them and move on fire them,
because the administration has to know and has to send
the message this kind of negligence won't be tolerated if
(09:29):
you don't do that, if you choose to instead go
the other way, then you will have what we are
now in the middle of. We are now on day
three of this being the entire news cycle. You can't
go five seconds without hearing people talk about it, and
answers like this are exactly what.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You know, Laura.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but of all the people
out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the President,
who has lied to go Star families, lied to their attorneys,
and gone to Russia, hoax, gone to just all kinds
of links to lie and smear the president of the
(10:13):
United States. And he's the one that somehow gets on
somebody's contact and then gets sucked into this group.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
What does that mean, gets on somebody's contact and something
do we believe Jeffrey Goldberg is Jason Bourne? And he
what did he did? He link up with NSA through
back channels in the Chinese and he added him said,
come on, I was born at night, but not last night.
(10:42):
This is why I raged the way I raged on
Monday because I knew I could see what was happening
in Watch. Tomorrow will be day four of it drives
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
All Right, We'll be.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Back the Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at
Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It is The Jesse Kelly's Show on a wonderful, tremendous Wednesday,
a hook day. Okay, So that's another word on kind
of what we're discussing last hour about rules.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
No, you can't. You can't deport them.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's against the law, it's against a constitution.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That would defy a judge. Wisconsin's school apparently told girls
they have to change in front of a male student.
That's from the Populous Times. Essentially looks like this school
in Wisconsin told these girls if they tried to use
the private stall, they'd be accused of bullying. Teacher kept
(11:41):
yelling and said he was going to put us on
the no pass list. The communist doesn't care about rules,
and when he can, he'll simply make disgusting rules and
then use your love of rules, your your love of
being a rule follower, He'll simply use those against you.
(12:01):
That's how it works. We cannot allow the communists to
use things against us. I watched the Right New to
itself with this time and time again, and the funniest
part is the communist doesn't care about any rule.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Number one challenge here that we see and is, of course,
the First Amendment in the United States is a fairly robust.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Protection of rights.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And that's the problem. Have you ever, ever, have you
ever described the First Amendment as being a problem.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Why is it that?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Why is it that Democrats constantly are saying things like this,
Member Joe Biden one of his favorite lines he used
during his four years, No amendment is absolute.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, these people have no use at all for the
Constitution or rules. It's something to be ignored, something to
be dismissed. Well, if that's how they're going to operate,
and we're going to make sure we follow all the.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Rules, well I've got bad news for you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I know who wins that game. If your football team
decides they're going to play by the rules and my
football team decides they're gonna hide brass knuckles inside their shorts,
I know who's gonna win the football game. Jesse, I
hear your show all the time. It's cool you were
just referring to Snap Benefits and soda pop. Well, one
(13:27):
thing drives me nuts. I'm sure you might be aware
that Schwan's food trucks except EBT and Snap. I've witnessed
it with my own eyes. People eat off the truck.
You have no idea the rage this email fills me with.
What Chris, That's exactly why it fills me with rage.
(13:48):
Chris just said, what's the Swan's food truck? You never
saw one of these, so I don't know how it
works down here in Texas. I can only tell you
what we saw in Montana. There was a food truck.
Apparently they still exist. I didn't even know they were
still around, called Schwans. They're uh I remember, I remember,
(14:10):
I think they're yellow, yellowish whatever. They're food trucks. And
as a kid, I thought this was the coolest thing
in the world. They would just drive around. This is
before I remember, this is before door dash and all those
other things. They would drive around delivering things like frozen
pizzas and milk instead of basic food necessities. You could,
(14:33):
I think you could sign up for it. They would
deliver it to you. The reason it makes me so
angry is. I always wanted my parents to sign up
for Schwab, but they always said, we don't have the money.
We don't have the money. That's a waste of money. Gosh,
I want to sign up for that so badly. What Chris,
What how sweet would that be to have all the
milk delivered to your house? Frozen pizzas delivered to your house. Dang,
(14:57):
I'm so freaking jealous, Chris, don't even look it up.
You'd never the prices or whining Jesse. This guy says,
I don't want to hear about your frustration with your
taco joint. I want to hear about the great new
breakfast joint you found and how you can't believe you
ever ate those other tacos ps. I thought we only
had powdered days in Montana, States where skiing is king. Okay,
(15:20):
I spoke yesterday about why I was in such a
terrible mood yesterday. It was because my go to breakfast
taco joint moved to powdered eggs. Or they may have
just been the eggs out of a carton like a
milk carton. You've seen those before, Chris. They saw them
in a grocery store man, what kind of a life
do you live? Yeah, it's really really gross, or yeah,
(15:42):
yeah it's really gross. Anyway, my breakfast taco joint is ruined.
Here's a little secret about breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Just gonna lay it out there, and I know I'll
catch a bunch of heat for it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But eggs, using real eggs, that is, they all really
taste pretty much the same.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Cheese. You're gonna get the same kind of cheese.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I got it, Chariso, charriso what Chris, It's gonna taste
the same.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
The tortea.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
If you're at a decent breakfast taco place, you're gonna
get a decent tortilla, the taco itself, the burrito itself.
It's not necessarily the star of the show. Like so
many things in life, the star of the show is
the sauce. It's the salsa. For me in particular, it's
(16:43):
the salsa very day, Chris. That means green salsa in Mexican.
It's the salsa very day. You see a good salsa
very day is rare. Everyone has one. Everyone has one.
They're not all good. The breakfast taco place. I feel
in love with It wasn't because of the tacos.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Which were very good. But you can get those tacos anywhere.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
They had the most delicious, spicy, perfect amount of zip
to it, salsaverity. And that's what's been taken from me.
That's why I was in such a bad movie yesterday. Honestly,
I still can't.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I can't shake it. I'm still in the same mood today.
I can't shake it. Don't shake your head, Chris, it's
a big deal.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Maybe we'll ask.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
BK about that. You know what, I'm in the mood
for skittles. I'm gonna get some skittles for when I
talked to BK. Before I get to the skittles, I
want to talk to you about nine dollars. You know
that home movie you have or that box of home movies. Yeah,
VHS tapes, cam quarter tapes. You need to digitize those
(17:47):
because that film it's getting dusty, getting old, heat, cold, humidity,
it's fading every single day, and there's going to be
a day you put in that tape and you don't
get to look at those pictures, those videos anymore of
the wedding or whatever else. But if you just digitize
that with Legacy Box, you keep it forever. And Legacy
(18:10):
Box has a huge sale right now sixty five percent
off nine dollars a tape. Think about your tapes. Nine
bucks a tape and Legacy Box will not only digitize
it to you ninety days of free Legacy Box Cloud access.
You only get that at Legacybox dot com. Slash Jesse
(18:35):
nine bucks a tape. Look, buy the box now, send
it whenever Legacybox dot com slash Jesse BK.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Next the Jesse Kelly Show on air and online at
Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And as promised, joining me now is my friend, and
I see he chose to introduce me with a song
about me today BK host of the Great World News
with BK, former Air Force PJ BK.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I appreciate that tribute to me, Jesse.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
As you know, producer Chris dragged me off the beautiful
sier Inavada mountain where I was shredding it skiing, and
that's why I chose the music and certainly had nothing
to do with you.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I didn't know that you were a skier, but now
that I think about it, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Not very surprising to me at all.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Are you one of the you know what, you're a
California guy. I figured you'd be a snowboarder with a
joint or something like that.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I mean, the joint is in play, however, snowboarding. Snowboarding
is for people who cannot properly ski, and therefore I
reject it totally.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, b K, all right, I'm gonna give you one
more word on this, and then, as I mentioned earlier
in the show, I'm moving off of vicause I don't
think we need a hand all week of the news
cycle to this terribly embarrassing event. But as many people
on our side try to excuse what happened with the
signal chat, it's awful, it's terrible, it's inexcusable for people
(20:13):
at that level. I believe somebody should be punished severely,
whoever that is, and I don't know who find the
person responsible. They should be fired immediately, the same way
that private would if he lost his MVGS.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But either way, I give the floor to you.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Uh yeah, Jesse, You're one hundred percent right. It is
baffling to me how many people the mild criticism I
have put forth saying this is unacceptable. And as you said, Jesse,
a private would have been maybe in Fort Levenworth by
now over this colossal screw up that is just inexcusable.
(20:49):
And the people I see on the right just saying, oh,
this is nothing, burger if there weren't any plans. I'm like, dude,
did you read the group chat? Pete he accept this
sitting here going at twelve fifteen pm, the F fifteen
fighter jets are dropping bombs on the target and I'm like,
what are you thinking? Why are you doing this? This
(21:11):
is completely unacceptable, Jesse. I knew a guy who was
investigated by the Office of Special Investigations in the Air Force,
a highly skilled operator who told his wife what date
he was coming home from a deployment. He was extremely
lucky he had to stand tall before the man. Just
for that and the fact that Pete hegg Seth and
(21:33):
Mike Waltz, who by the way, follows me on Twitter,
I didn't know that before I trashed him on Twitter.
Think this is no big deal is shocking to me.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Look, I know, I know, I get it. You want
to own the Libs. I want to own the Libs.
Jesse you want to own the Libs. That doesn't mean
you can't say when people screwed up. This is the
most obvious screw up in the history of screw ups.
And for all these people complain that I focus on it.
You are the same people who raised tell about every
(22:06):
stupid thing Joe Biden's Department of Defense did, and there
were many. This you have to be better. They promised,
we're gonna be better. That doesn't take away from some
of the good things that they are doing. But this
is such a total, stupid, preventable screw up. You're right.
Instead of saying, Jesse, you know what we are, we are,
(22:27):
we are, we apologized, we screwed up. There is going
to be discipline, and it's never gonna happen again. Jesse.
That would have been a one day story. But what
did they do. They sat there and talked all this
idiotic stuff when they knew a journalist who hated them
had possession of all of the messages, and predictably, once
(22:48):
he was called a liar, he released everything he had,
which showed that indeed they did do colossally stupid stuff.
And oh, by the way, according to the Department of
National Intelligence, using signal is unacceptable for this kind of talk.
It's idiotic. They could have avoided the whole thing. First
of all, you shouldn't be on signal to begin with.
(23:10):
Second of all, you could have avoid the whole thing
by just taking some damn accountability. Jesse, I'm tired of
the lack of accountability. Come out and say, Jesse, how
many times were you the Marine Corps? What's the better
answer making excuses or saying Roger that sergeant I screwed up.
I've learned my lesson. It's not gonna happen again. Which
way would you go, Jesse?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Kelly, So, I'm so glad you brought it up, bkay,
because this was when this is why I went off.
I think whatever day it dropped Monday, Tuesday, I forget
and I said someone has to be fired immediately. And
you just brought up the Marine Corps. This is a
perfect example of how it works in life. When you
screw something up in the Marine Corps, you are going
to pay. You are going to usually pay with physical
(23:51):
pain in some way. The physical pain will be severe,
but very quick. If you own it, that's on me, sir,
I'll get it done. Aren't lying you start, well, I'm
not really sure. It was kind of corporal.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Now you're in for a world of pain for a
week if they allow you to.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Live exactly Jesse and where That's what I'm saying, I
expect better. I was not happy with the nomination of
Pete Hegseth. Listeners to the podcast know that very well.
I expected better of him. All you have to do,
you own it. You don't sit there and make excuses,
especially Jesse, when you know the entire text chain is
(24:29):
he has it. Why would why unearthed would you come
out and say, oh, well, you know, we weren't leaking
plans or anything like that, and now you want to
Now you want to haggle over the meaning of war
plans versus battle plans versus all this idiocy. No, you
come right out and say, you know what, we screwed up.
This is a mistake. We're gonna look into it and
(24:50):
we're gonna be better, and it's never ever ever going
to happen again. That's what I, as a former NCO
noncommissioned officer, would expect from my troops. That's what an
officer would expect me. They don't want to We're not
trying to hear all this. Well, you know it's a
little bit uh, it's a little bit debatable. No own it,
(25:12):
and they didn't. It was a huge failure. I'm extremely disappointed,
and especially Mike balt who I thought was Mike Waltz.
I should say who I thought was going to be better.
I apologized Jesse. I was on the mountain skiing, I
had three I pas at high altitude. You know.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Speak well.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
First of all, yeah, I'll play the audio again. I
played it earlier. But yeah, this is I winced during
this entire line of questioning. By the way, I have
a mouthful of skittles.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Well, look, hey, staffer wasn't responsible, and look I take
full responsibility. I built the I built the group to
My job is to make sure everything's coordinated.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But how that's acute?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
I mean, I don't mean to be pedantic here, but
how did the number?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Have you ever had?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name
and then you have an and then you have somebody else, Right,
you've got somebody else says number on someone else's contact.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So of course I.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like
someone else now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
And it wasn't it wasn't a staffer because it wasn't
a staffer, but it definitely also wasn't me. And because
this guy's a bad guy, he's also Jason Bourne, who
added himself to the chat. It looks small, and I
honestly I expect better. Forget members of Congress, they're losers.
Mike Waltz is a Green Beret. I expect better than that.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Yeah, he should have been way better. He is ultimately responsible.
So you can blame staffers all you want. Hey, the
buck stops here. We've all heard that saying before you're
the man, you're in charge. If you want to blame
some low level staffer, fine, but you should also say,
you know what, as the boss, I take full responsibility
(26:50):
for this. It's never gonna happen again. And he didn't
do that, and I and it's mind.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Blowing to me.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
This is such an easy win. And Jesse, let's say
that you know and I know that if this would
have happened on the Joe Biden administration, these same people
who are screaming like, oh this is no big deal,
would have been screaming for heads. They would have been
screaming impeachment. Is it too much to ask for a
little consistency, especially when you were the people who were like,
(27:17):
these people are incompetent. We've got a new national security
team and we are going to be better. And you
know what, Jesse, it's disappointing because I'm hearing from guys
on the ground that since the Trump administration Pete HEGs
has took over, morales improved, things are getting done and
that's great, but that this all shoves that to the side.
(27:38):
And it's just super irritating to me that nobody can say, like, dude,
you screwed up. And I'm just it's an easy, avoidable situation,
and I can't, for life with me, can't figure out
why they're just not saying we screwed up. Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, it drops me up the wall, because when you
eat skittles, are you a one skittle at a time
guy or a handful guy?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
First of all, Jesse, the skittles do not pass these
lips because, as you know, thinks that I have coursing
down my lower abs into my upper side are extremely
aesthetically pleasing, So of course, I'm not going to allow
this big sugar with the red dye number six to
pass these lips. That's just not going to happen. I
(28:22):
subsist on vegetables, fruits, and steak and chicken, and that
is all Jesse. Forget the skittles. I'm taking them away
from you right now.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, the guy who's been mainlining IPAs with snow Buddies
for the last three hours is going to lecture me
about a handful of the skittles.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
B Kay.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I hate to keep you away from the IPA or
the mountain, but I did want to ask you about
Russia Ukraine real quick.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Do you have another couple of minutes?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Yeah, sure, let's do.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It all right, We will be right back with b K. Now.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I will tell you this in case you're sitting there
judging me about the skittles. I also take my relief
Factor with my skittles. Does relief Factor cancel out what's
in the skittles? Of course not, but it does eliminate
(29:10):
my pain. You see, relief Factor is one hundred percent
drug free. It's a supplement. I feel better when I
take supplements with my skittles.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What does relief factor do?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why would I bother taking this every day because it
reduces the inflammation in my body. You hurt because something
is inflame. That's why your back hurts, your wrist hurts,
your knee hurts. What you need to do is help
your body fight it. That's what relief Factors for. Call
one eight hundred, do the number four relief or go
(29:42):
to relief factor dot com. Try it for three weeks.
You don't like it, don't order anymore relief Factor dot Com.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
We'll be back.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
Jesse Kelly, it is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a wonderful,
wonderful Wednesday, a hump day back with our friend host
of the World News with BK.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Podcasts, which I would highly recommend b K. Okay, so
let's go to that World News now that we're off
of all that signal chat stuff, and let's talk about
the who thys how that's going Russia Ukraine? We have
a peace steal, but we don't have one. We have
a ceasefire, but not really just in the Black Sea.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
B K. What's going on in the world?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Well, Jesse, first of all, you know Ukraine has i
thought this was the biggest story. Ukraine is actually calling
out the Europeans at this point because, as you know, Jesse, like,
you know what, the Euros hate us now because we're
actually talking about, like, hey, maybe we need some answers
for all the US taxpayer dollars are spending in the
Ukraine and all the Euros condemned us. The funny thing
(30:49):
to me is the top Ukrainian negotiator named igor Zovka
has come out and said like, yeah, hey, we really
appreciate your European lead coming out and saying like we
support Ukraine, but at this point, we need troops on
the ground that are ready to fight and not peacekeepers.
He said, quote, we don't need a mere presence to
(31:12):
showcase that Europe is present and present end quote, which
means he's saying crap or get off the pot. So
I'm looking to these European leaders and I'm like, okay, now,
what you've talked a big game in Ukraine is now
saying hey, we need fighting men. Is Europe really prepared
to send fighting men into Ukraine? Is Europe prepared for
(31:35):
the headline when fifty at a time get vaporized in
a single engagement. I'm very, very curious to see that,
because they've been talking a lot of crap about America
and about our maybe questioning our support at this point,
I'm very curious to see if Europe is actually going
to send troops on the ground and how that's going
to receive When the first ones start coming home in
(31:55):
body bags.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Have them and I know that they're not our military.
I realized that their military spending is pathetic and it's small,
and I understand all that, But France does have a military.
They certainly have some beasts in there. I realize those
are more tip of the sphere types like you. But
France has got some fighting men that are certainly worthwhile.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yes they're they're individual fighting men are very good, albeit
very few of them. The problem is, you know, this
is this is we're in a combined arms environment Jesse.
Combined arms means sea, air land all coordinating to mountain,
assault and fight and win a war. These European countries
have let their air forces and their navies go to
(32:37):
crap over many, many years because they all knew that
Daddy America was here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
To pick up the tab.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
And now, all of a sudden, at the first sign
of saying, well, you know, I don't know if we're
going to keep funding this. They're panicking, and they're panicking
because they know they don't have that now. As far
as their individual special operations forces, yes they are very good.
The French top tier. Germany has top chier troops, but
half of Germany's air force can't even fly, Jesse. This
(33:06):
has been going on for many, many years, and they've
let it go and now they're all talking crap about us,
and now Ukraine is saying, okay, well, hey, we'll take
some help. And as you know, Jesse, we've all seen
the videos on social media. There is no way that
individual infantry soldiers are going to make a difference in
(33:26):
this war. We've all seen them getting vaporized. You need
a combined air, sea and land power, and none of
these European countries have it as much smack as they've
talked towards us. So I'm very curious to see what
the response to.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
That is going to be.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay, final question, we do have that power, and we
are currently raining that power down on the wo this
we're even texting them ahead of time apparently, But how
is that whole thing going.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Well, the whuthis I mean, we had to respond. I
mean everybody who's kind of bagging on Trump because he's like, hey,
no more wars. Right. The thing is that the Houthis
are controlling the Red Sea and they're attacking merchant ships
that cannot be allowed to stand. We are not going
to allow a bunch of savages in Yemen to disrupt
global trade. So that is one of the few things
(34:14):
I will very much support is vaporizing these tribesmen over
in Yemen who want to screw with us and screw
with our GDP on our economy and the European economy
as well. So I think that it was the right
thing to do to send a message. I'm curious to
see the actual battle damage assessment of what we did
(34:38):
to the Hoothies and if it deterred them in any way.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
You sound skeptical, Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Well, as we know Jesse and Iraq in Afghanistan. Right,
You smoke a few dudes and then they regroup and
come back. The thing is, if you have an enemy
who's willing to die for the ideology, that is a
very dangerous enemy. I don't care if it's twenty guys.
That is a dangerous enemy because most people are not
willing to die for an ideology. The Whosies are willing
(35:08):
to die for an ideology.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Bekay, the snow bunnies. Beckon, please return to the mountains
and have yourself a time, my friend, I'm going back
up Jesse.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
And i gotta tell you I'm shirtless. I'm shirtless on
the mountains. It's sixty degrees and like Kyle, the twenty
and pythons are just pumping and the things are throbbing,
and I'm going for it right now. Thank you for.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Having me just go, Just go his BK, host of
World News with BK, and BK's a friend. I'm just
gonna level with you right now. I'm not sure he's
kidding if you told me right now. In fact, I
wouldn't put it past BKA. This is the kind of
(35:54):
thing he will do just to harass me and make
me miserable. B K. I'll give it a fifty fifty shot,
and I'll let you know if it happens. He will
go back up to the mountain shirtless, and he will
get on a chairlift and text me a selfie from
the chairlist. Chairlift of Hymn of him shirtless. This is
the kind of harassment you get when you're friends with
idiots in meatheads like BK. I'm telling you it's coming,
(36:16):
you know what, Chris, I'm gonna block his number for
a couple hours because I know it's coming. I can
already see it coming. I know it's coming. What Chris, Oh,
that's a good point. If I unblock it, it'll come through.
I'm just gonna block BK forever. If I need to
talk to him, we can go through you, Chris. All right,
let's do an email here, dear mashed potato hater. When
(36:39):
I became a manager, my company started to giving me
seventy five dollars a month as a phone stipend. What
I haven't told them is I spend less than sixty
dollars a month for unlimited talk, text and data through
pure Talk.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I love getting an extra fifteen dollars a month for
saving money and supporting an America loving company instead of the.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
One hundred and seventy I used to pay at AT and T.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Don't say my name because I don't want to lose
this ha ha switch to pure Talk save a bunch
of money while also feeling really good about where you
spend your cell phone money because Pure Talk loves this country,
and you're not sacrificing anything. You'll even have to give
up your phone or your phone number. You're not sacrificing
(37:26):
a thing. You're not giving up your network. You know
they're on the same network, the exact same one zac,
same five G network. Switch You'll love yourself for it,
especially when the bill comes. If for no other reason,
switch for the same reason Chris would the money Dial
pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two
(37:48):
five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more money.
We still have a whole hour hang on
