Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. By
the way, as promised, Ross Kennedy, our shipping expert, is
going to join us bout a half hour or so
from now. That's always a good time. This hour you
(00:31):
can gear up for ninja swords, for filthy communists being
arrested for attacking Tesla's emails. All that and so much
more coming up on The Jesse Kelly Show this hour.
I want to begin here and I should let you
know that I'm going to skip names of the criminals
(00:53):
in these stories and here here's why. It's not because
I am protective of these vicious little communists committee acts
of terrorism across the country. There's something about me that
you should know. Longtime listeners will know. But this is
for everybody. I as mean as I can be, I
really have a soft spot in my heart for people
(01:15):
who get their mug shot and name published before they've
been convicted of a crime. It is a weird thing
that has always bothered me. It doesn't bother you. Probably
I get that it's not a popular stance, even for
I don't want to dismiss something like driving drunk, but
even something like a dui. Somebody gets a dui in
(01:38):
your hometown, or even a Hollywood actor or something like that. Boom,
you wake up and there's their mugshot that has been published. Well,
that person has not been convicted of anything yet. People
get wrongfully convicted a lot. But setting that aside, people
get acquitted a lot. Innocent people get put on try
(02:00):
a lot. What if that person's innocent, you just ruined
their life. If tonight there's a case of let's say,
mistaken identity, and the cops kick in my door and
they throw handcuffs on me and drag me out of
my house because I've I'm suspected as being a part
(02:21):
of a drug ring. I'm selling drugs, lots and lots
of lots of drugs, black tar, heroin. And do you
think my mug shot? Do you think that would make
national news?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You bet it would? Do you bet it would? The
New York Times would be all over Everyone would be
all over it. What if I was totally innocent? What
if what if they got the wrong guy? Boom, there's
my mugshot, by the way, premiere and they're wonderful. There's
no complaints. But could Premiere even keep me on the
air if I just got busted for black tar heroin?
(02:52):
They can't afford that. You just wrecked my life. I
haven't been convicted of a thing, So anyway, that's a
long explanation. I'm not going to give out names. But
there's a lady rumored to be a millionaire Shiqui to Tesla.
Another gentleman, believe this one was in Las Vegas, just
got arrested. Did you see that story about the Tesla's
(03:13):
being set fire? Set on fire, lots of them. He
this dude got arrested and he's being charged with multiple
federal felonies. He's going bye bye for a very very
very long time. And I know you're gonna find this shocking,
but he's a lifelong communist, communist activist, I know, I know.
It's really really amazing. I saw something else today, only
(03:36):
this wasn't even in America. In the UK. You know
the Tesla charging stations. I personally don't have one, but
I know what they look like, the Tesla charging stations.
Somebody has gone around and you know that when Elon
Musk did the my heart goes out to you thing,
and everyone did the screenshot of it, so it made
(03:58):
it look like he was doing some kind of Nazi salute.
They put a picture of Elon Musk doing that on
all of them. I said all this to say this.
The communist, as we've talked about so many times, is
so very good at taking all of the demonic cult
(04:20):
followers of his sick religion and aiming their eyes at
one man or two men, and convincing their sick followers
that that particular man is the source of all their problems,
the source of all evil. And that's part of the reason.
It's a big reason why communists are so violent. You see,
(04:46):
when one man is the cause of all the problems
out there, combine that with the fact that you're an
anti human, I mean the human soul, the doesn't mean
anything to you. Well, if one man is the cause
of all my problems, and I don't have any moral
(05:10):
moral barriers that would keep me from hurting him, WHOA
why wouldn't I just hurt him? See, that's why Elon
Musk has had to jack his security through the roof.
That's why Donald Trump. Did you know that Donald Trump
before he was elected president? I don't know if this
is still the case. But I can tell you this now.
You know that Donald Trump after he was elected president,
(05:30):
the first time that he was out of office in
that four years, you know that he had to spend
a fortune of his own money on private security to
supplement the secret service he had because it wasn't enough.
Because this is what communists are so so good at,
getting the eyes of all their followers fixated on one
man and telling them, look, that's the guy. He's the
(05:54):
one hurting. You see him everything wrong? It's him. Do
you know one of these people? Do you know a
liberal and Peggy who does she rage about in such
a blind rage that there's not even any thought into
it at all? Donald Trump? And now I'm sure Elon
Musk gets lumped into that too. They're very, very good
at that. Speaking of the UK, they're gonna ban ninja swords,
(06:16):
and I don't want to talk about banning ninja swords
because that's really stupid. I just want to say that
I want one, really, really badly. What Chris, We've talked
about this before. What I know, it's a katana, Chris,
But when I have it, it's gonna be a ninja
sword because I'm gonna wear all black and put one
of those face mask things on, and I'll slink around
(06:36):
like a shadow. And I'll even I saw this. I know.
I'm tall, Chris, tall people can blend into the shadows too.
And have you ever seen those little claw things they
keep on their hands. I saw this in the movies,
so I'm sure it's real. They put these claw things
that come out of their palms. Yeah, and they can
climb like walls and stuff like Spider Man. I'm gonna
(06:59):
do that. I'm telling you, Yes, I can. Yes, I can, Chris,
I'm telling you I can do this. Jesse. Trump needs
to go full dictator mode or the country is done.
I would I'll put a little I'll twist that around
a little bit. Trump needs to do things that haven't
(07:21):
been done in a very very long time, or a
dictator will come. That's how I'll put it. Never remember,
I'm not gonna say things that have never been done before,
ignoring things like courts. That's things many presidents have done before.
The saintly Abraham Lincoln, who everyone seems to love. He's
(07:44):
set aside the entire freaking Constitution. He did away with
the freedom of the press. It took a flat out
the throw you in jail if you were a journalist.
And everybody in the world loves to worship old Saint Abe. Now,
American presidents have set aside quote norms for a long
time when they decide the situation is dire enough that
(08:07):
the norms must be set aside. I saw today that
Trump said put something else out on social media, raging
against that judge. You know, the whole text chat signal
chat controversy thing that I'm not talking about anymore. Well,
some comedy group is suing. Guess which judge got to
sign that case. The same judge that tried to turn
(08:29):
around all the Venezuelan gangbangers we sent down to El Salvador.
The same judge, the anti the anti Trump communist judge
keeps getting all these cases. And Trump put out something
on social media about how ridiculous and unfair it is
and how he can't get a fair shake. Well, yeah,
(08:49):
that's true. So what are you gonna do about it?
Because there's there are no social media posts, there's nothing
you can say, there's no appeal to reason, there's no
law you can cite, there's nothing you can do to
convince that judge to stop being a communist. That judge
(09:11):
is a communist who views his role as stopping Donald
Trump and protecting the communist revolution. And no matter what
you say to him or scream at him, that is
how he will always view his role. He views himself
as a frontline warrior for the communist revolution. He will
not be dissuaded by social media posts. He won't. You
(09:36):
can simply disregard everything he says. Tell him to bring
an army to the White House if he has a
problem with it, or presidency won't amount to munch because
this guy, you think this is the last time you're
gonna hear the name Judge Bosburg? I don't even know
if I'm saying his dumb name, right, Boasburg? Who cares
it's a stupid name anyway? Do you do you think
(09:56):
it's the last time you're going to hear his name.
This dude's gonna run the the United States of America
for four years until the Trump administration decides they're done
letting him do it, period, And a story got to
decide you're done. All right, let's do some me emails.
Some kid wants to talk about Hannibal. That's always a
good time. After Hannibal, we're going to talk about illegals.
Someone wants to know why do they have rights under
(10:18):
the constitution? All that in so much more plus again,
Ross Kennedy coming up about fifteen twenty minutes from now.
Hang on, this is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday. Don't forget.
You need to email your ask doctor Jesse questions in
(10:39):
for tomorrow. Email those to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yeah,
you know, Doug Collins seems to have the right idea
big cheese at the VA. You know, former Congressman Doug Collins.
Good man Caitlin Collins of course wants everyone to keep
talking about the scandal. This is exactly how you handle Theseeah.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And I do have questions about the veterans. But given
what we saw with the group chat and how this
was used. You are a member of the cabinet. You
obviously know these other members, several of them who were
in there. Is this typical for the cabinet to have
conversations over signal? Is this something that you use?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
All right? Well? Kaylen send you and Dally do I
want to talk about the VA. I have a question,
as via secretary is Cabinet. I want to ask you
because I've been cohurious about this because my job is
to take care of veterans, and I would like to
know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one in
Florida where you just had a five million dollar defamation
suit taking of fence at a veteran who is trying
(11:36):
to help people. In fact, one of your employees actually
said we're gonna nail him. I have a question for you, Caitlin,
is that employees still employed? Are you really concerned about veterans?
So if we don't want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Veteran how many times I'll let them keep going? How
many times have we talked about playing offense, not defense?
Not well, I didn't do that, that's not right, not defense.
The communists is going to try to wrong foot you.
He's going to try to put you on the defense
so he can play offense if you start playing that game.
(12:09):
But I'm not a racist. If you start playing that game,
you lose offense.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Now you want to talk about everything else I'd like
to hear from CNN as the Veteran Cabinet secretary. Why
C and N seems to have a problem with veterans.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, mister secretary, respectfully, my question was about whether or
not he was a member of the cabinet when we
use this, and respectfully, I'm conducting the investigation, and I
do have a lot of questions for you on veterans affairs,
but I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Think what what do you want to do? Is the
cabinet answered? And if you want to continue this like this,
that's fine. But they're VA employees who are working very hard.
They are veterans who get their care from the VA,
and they get their benefits from the VA.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Listen, let's I'll let them keep going again. But listen,
Listen to how perfectly this is done. This is why
I wanted to play this. I honestly I might play
this two more times during the show. Listen now, how
he won't persuaded even when she presses again, pressing hard, no, please,
please talk about what I want please, But this is
but he doesn't get moved. Don't move when you are
(13:12):
arguing with your other kids in school. Don't move when
you're arguing with liberal aunt Peggy. Don't move. They are
going to try to move you onto something they want
to focus on. Don't allow them to frame the argust.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I mean, no good to spake it on something that
I've already asked an answer. So I've asked an answer
your question. Why don't you answer mine? Are you still
this person still employed who said they were gonna nail
one of my veterans, who you had to do a
five million dollars reward Jouri because of defamation, and then
you settled the case. Answer my question.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Respectfully, sir. I'm asking the questions here and I have
no involvement in it. But if you don't want to
answer the question whether or.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Not, I am now exactly how it should be done.
Good for Doug Collins, Hey, Oracle, you can say my name,
It's Landon. I'm thirteen years old. I live in North Dakota.
I wanted to ask what your reasoning was on Hannibal
being the greatest military leader of all time. Scipio did
(14:13):
beat Hannibal. I think you've said before that Scipio stole
his tactics, but Scipio took them and adapted them. I
just wanted you to know your thoughts. I just wanted
to know your thoughts on this signing off to tiny hands.
You know that's not nice. Even thirteen year olds are
dunking on me in North Dakota. That's not very nice.
One Landing two, Let's deal with the back end first.
(14:35):
Not to sound like people to judge, but you get
what I'm saying. Scipio adapted his tactics and improved them.
You know, one time I was in community college and
I took Shut Up Chris, and I took a course
on music. It was on a popular It was on
popular music, Shut Up Chris. It was an accredited course.
(14:57):
I needed it to well, not to graduate. I didn't
do that whatever. I took this course and it was
about the history of rock music and it went chronologically
by time right. And I know this is something you
already know, and I guess maybe deep down I knew it,
but it was It was amazing to watch it play
(15:18):
out as he laid it out, and he would play
the audio cuts of it. Pick your favorite band. Whatever
your favorite band happens to be led Zeppelin. I'll use
use led Zeppelin because that's probably my favorite, if not
their way up there, led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin was awesome
and yes, they were unique in a lot of ways,
and they were great that I love them. I love them.
(15:40):
But led Zeppelin, they would tell you that they got
a lot of their sound, a lot of their ideas
from this band that they grew up listening to. And
so if you then went back to that band and said, hey,
what about you, what about you have such a unique sound,
they would tell you yeah, yeah, but I grew up
(16:01):
listening to this band, and I took that band and
their sound, and I of course added it and improved
it and added my own ideas to it. You see,
taking what somebody does and improving it, adding your own
spin to it. It doesn't make you a thief, but
(16:23):
it also don't make you a genius. I say Hannibal
was tactically the greatest or one of the greatest of
all time. And I don't know that I could say the
greatest of all time because Hannibal wiped out the greatest
army on Earth, like four times. They kept the Roman
(16:46):
Army kept setting these huge forces at him, and Hannibal,
it's not like he'd barely win. He would just wipe
them right off the map. At one point in time, Rome,
the people in the city. They were sure he was
just gonna come take them, because he just wiped out
another army. I don't know of anybody who can say
things like that. Hannibal took on the heavyweight champion several
(17:10):
times and pummeled him in the first round. That's amazing.
When he was old, he lost, of course, but when
he was in his prime, you didn't want to rumble
with Hannibal. But you know what Hannibal didn't have. Hannibal
didn't have a chef IQ. You see, he was great,
(17:32):
but was he the greatest? Well? Could you imagine Hannibal
trying to cook you a steak versus me trying to
cook you a steak. My steak will be perfect every time?
How much is steak cost? That whole chicken you buy?
How much does it cost ever ruined one? Overcooked it,
undercooked it? What would you save if you never overcooked
(17:55):
or undercooked it again? What would you save monetarily? The
chef iq. Chef iq has created the IQ since, a
wireless cooking thermometer. You leave it in the meat. It
tells your phone the temperature. In fact, your phone will
tell you bebebep. It's done. No more guessing no more
(18:16):
ever ruining any meat ever. Go fifteen percent off at
chefq dot com code Jesse chefiq dot com code Jesse
perfect meat every time, just like mine. We talked to
Ross Kennedy Next Truth, Attitude, Jesse Kelly It is the
(18:43):
Jesse Kelly Show, and man Alive I Am. I've been
friends with Ross Kennedy for a while now he's joined
us on the radio before, founder of ford Us Analysis.
Pretty sharp guy. I would have thought by now Ross
would know if you don't pick the meat music, you
get the worst song we could find in short order.
But apparently Ross forgot. Ross.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Did you forget negative? I absolutely chose that just for
you and for everybody listening at home.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Ross, do you want to hear the most embarrassing thing
in the world about that song? I'll give it to you.
I'm gonna give it to everybody. I've never told this
story before. Ross is supposed to talk with now, I'm
going to talk really quickly when that song was really
really popping off, or maybe a little after. But I
was in Iraq first be time, seventh Marines, and we
(19:34):
didn't have internet or TV or anything like. We were
there before there were any actual facilities. But there was
one channel. We were guarding the mayor of some dump
that everyone was trying to kill him. And there was
one channel on the TV and it played music videos,
and that was one of the music videos. And the
girl who was in the music video to us, because
we didn't see any women, was so attractive that my
(19:55):
entire unit, if they weren't on patrol, would gather around
the television to watch the music video. That song. That's
a true story.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Ross, I can't beat it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, anyway, Ross, I heard this and it was music
to my ears.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It building in past Goagoula has just received a multimillion
dollar national security contract. The investment is expected to strengthen
the United States national security presence in the Arctic and
reinforced Mississippi's role in the ship building industry. Officials say
the Coast Guard requires a new fleet to protect interest
in the Arctic, hence the investment.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Is Ross, tell me about the Coast Guard shipbuilding Mississippi.
What's happening.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well, we've only got a few icebreakers still active in
the fleet, and one or two of them are even
you know, privately owned by Edison Truest Offshore out of Louisiana,
but are under long term contract and so Coast Guard
hasn't had a new icebreaker built in something like forty years.
And with the opening of you know, what is variously
(20:54):
called Arctic Sea Passage, Northern Sea Route, the obviously the
build to move over the Arctic, and either Project Force
or Commerce, China, Russia, a lot of countries have been
investing into their heavy ice breaker capacity so that we
do have the ability to take some of these short
paths through the Arctic. And you know, for various reasons.
(21:17):
So being up there, whether it's for scientific research, whether
it's for commercial reasons, or for military reasons, requires that
you have these ice breakers and that you be able
to move other conventional hold ships through the region. And
so this does signal that whatever the cost is, you know,
the new investment was I believe it was like a
(21:37):
billion with a bee in the ballinger. To continue to
extend the program and keep it moving on its feet
and get these ice breakers out is a very very
clear signal that the United States is not in any
way abdicating its role. It's very much we would need
the same kind of ships to be able to protect
interest that we may have now or would be developing
(21:59):
with Greenland as well as support Canada and some of
our other allies in the Arctic.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Ross Greenland is obviously something that perked everybody's ears up
because it's something Trump has been hot on for a
long time. He'd sniffed around on it in his first term.
He's a lot hotter on it now. But Greenland's a frozen,
miserable healthscape. Why do we care about it?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well, I mean I care about it. I actually have
a family connection to it. Grandpa did multiple tuiyes there
in the fifties as part of Strategic Air Command. But
you know that very small connection aside, you're talking about
a country that, either from known or inferred reserves, is
sitting on a vast, vast amount of riches, whether it's
(22:42):
oil and natural gas and other conventional fossil fuels. But really,
what I think has everyone's interests peaked in this is
the undeveloped resources. Mineral ores, metals, critical minerals, you know,
so that would be rare earth, that would be your
magnetic minerals. That are you know, dysprosium and itserium and
all these other things that have names. I can't even spell,
(23:02):
but they are immensely valuable. They are very very hard
to find. They rarely occur in other places, and so
for even the ones that are more available but hard
to develop, a lot of these that are very difficult
to develop. We do know some level of them are there,
and the race is on, and China is already there
drilling core samples looking for proof of these things that
(23:25):
we all suspect are there. So this is really about
denying a major adversary access to things that they already
control the majority global supply of, but also shoring up
stockpiles of these for ourselves and for our allies.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Speaking with Ross Kennedy, founder of Fortis Analysis, Okay, Ross,
I'm going to ask you to do something that may
be difficult for you, but I need you to take
your two hundred plus IQ and I need you to
turn it down to about eighty. Where I'm at, I
hear people talk about rare earth and minerals all the time,
and I get that there are things that are rare,
Like I get that valuable things that are rare. What
(24:00):
I don't understand is why they're valuable. Where are they used? Okay,
they're rare, I get it, why do I care.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Well, A good example you know, of why we care
about Greenland is the same reason that you know, presumably
the president and his team are taking very seriously the
recent offer from the President of Congo d RC, the
Democratic Republic of Congo UH to provide safekeeping in some
way for his country from the M twenty three rebels
(24:29):
coming out of Rwanda. And that is rare earth in
this in the case of d r C, it's cobalt.
And when you take a look at so that's cobalt,
that's lithium, that's you know, that are in kind of
the rare earth category. But these are largely very specialized.
Rare earths actually aren't all that rare, despite the name.
There are others that are far more rare and important.
(24:51):
But that's battery technology. You need a lot of nickel
and zinc and cobalt and lithium to make batteries, you know,
And so for someone like Elan Mu that is the
critical single point of failure in his supply chain. But
then when you extend that, you look at semiconductors, microprocessors,
you look at lenses and housings and casements for satellites.
(25:13):
That allows us to kind of look down from above
and deliver data and service all over the world. Every
missile that we have has rare earths and critical minerals
in it, and so and it's the same for China
and Russia and all other modern technologies. So these minerals
are refined and processed, even in very small quantities, into
everything digital in the world, whether it's the batteries or
(25:35):
the chips or any other component the radios. So the
digital world runs on these things, and right now the
United States is largely losing the race for most of them.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Okay, why are we losing? How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Well, I think we took our eye off the ball,
you know, for the same reason we're in dire straits
and needing to build ice breakers at record speed and
billions of dollars into that icebreaker program. And it's like
so many other things. And you know, beginning in the eighties, really,
you know, Gordon Gecko, greed is good, well, greed and
returns and quarterly profit margins at that time and really
(26:12):
through today, has continued to be outsource. Take hard assets
and minerals and refining and all of these things that
are upstream of civilization that we would depend on and
just go get it cheaper somewhere else. Go get it
in China, go get it in Brazil, go get it wherever.
But let somebody else carry the the environmental and labor
(26:33):
load and energy and water and everything that goes into
these Let them do that. And we're the United States,
and nobody's going to screw with us ever again. And
so like in that late Pax Americana kind of time frame,
our assumption was just that we were at the end
of history and everything was going to be fine from
there on out. And what we have found is that
(26:54):
when we took our eye off the balls, starting with
admitting China to the you know, proposing and blessing them
into the w which began under President Clinton and happened,
you know, finally under President Bush, we let China to
the WTO. And at that point it was just continue
to outsource, outsourced, outsource. We don't need to do these things,
So let's be a services economy. Let's make yet more
(27:16):
software for companies or whatever was needed. And we don't
need these things. And now we have found out that
of the list of forty something critical minerals that we
are supposed to maintain stockpiles of for our military and
for our commercial sector. Pretty much everywhere. Most of these
are available are in places that China has completely co
(27:37):
opted and gained a significant majority of market share. And
it's even simple things like aluminum wor box side. It's
a bright red, beautiful mineral. Jamaica has a lot of it.
Guyana has a lot of it here in our hemisphere. Guyana,
our secretary of Rubio is today meeting with their president.
It's you add these things up and you say, okay.
The largest box side producer in Jamaica, the largest box
(28:01):
site producer in Guyana are both Chinese companies. And between
those two countries we have one company that is actually
mining and bringing them to the US, but we only
have one ilumina refinery. And as much as we need
all of that to make aluminum, downstream of that is
the fact that gallium, which is one of the most
critical materials for making semiconductors and space age sensors, gallium
(28:25):
is most reliably achieved like sourced, by refining box site
into alumina. And so we've cut off our noses to
spite our face on this. So we have our own decisions.
But China has just moved in and filled that vacuum
and all of these countries where all of these things are,
and we've kind of allowed them to do it because
we were focused on other things, as you are familiar
(28:46):
with for the last twenty to twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I am so much freaking smarter now. Ross Kennedy, you
are the man, my brother. Thank you, appreciate you. Hey, Chris,
let me tell you about Buddy. You probably didn't know
anything about it. You know what else? Congo. I'm not
that much of an expert, but I saw the movie.
Doesn't look like a very nice place. We still have
a lot more of the show to go. Let me
(29:11):
tell you about pure Talk. You want to talk about rare.
Pure Talk's more rare than lithium. I don't know if
that's actually true, because you can get it everywhere, but anyway,
it's rare to find a company that loves the United
States of America and that'll give you top notch cell
phone service for a greatly reduced price. How about a
thousand dollars average family saves a thousand dollars a year
(29:37):
when they switch to Puretalk. You know what I'm currently
doing with pure talk. Oh wait, I can't give it
away yet. Just know you're going to love it. You're
going to love it. Do you enjoy Medal of Honor Mondays?
You're going to enjoy what's coming next. Anyway, I love them.
They're patriotic. Their CEO is a Vietnam veteran. It's easy
(29:58):
to switch right now. When you switch, you save an
extra fifty percent off your first month. Dial pound two
five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two five zero,
Say Jesse Kelly. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Thursday.
(30:22):
Remember tomorrow's and ask doctor Jesse Friday. And you did
to get your questions emailed in now to Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. So there's something that Trump does,
maybe better than any GOP politician in my life, and
that is insult people, even in sometimes the most passive
(30:43):
aggressive way in the world. And what he said today
to this reporter left me in stitches. And let me explain.
I was flying. Did I tell you this last night
that I was flying and my oldest boy was the
TSA agent was stopping him to ask for his id.
(31:04):
But of course she waddled away into the chair and
plopped down and had a mask on, and therefore you
couldn't understand her, and he couldn't understand her. So I
had just gone through. She waddles in, takes over, pops down,
and goes war. Well, he's the nicest boy in the world,
(31:24):
he said, I'm sorry, I don't understand. She gets it
to him again. I'm sorry, I need to see your ID,
she shouts at him. Off my dad. Blood pressure went
about pop the blood vessel in my head. So the
mask thing I was understanding for a long time. Maybe
(31:44):
you're just weird. I get that some people just like
wearing a mask that they got conditioned with all the propaganda.
I get it. But I'm all about freedom of choice.
Do you want to do that, you do it, it's fine. Whatever.
Now ah, now you're weird. Right now, now it's odd.
(32:05):
And now we're at the point where you should probably
be shamed. And I got to be honest, man, Trump
just kills me sometimes.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're wearing a mask, So nice of you.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I haven't seen anybody wearing a mask in.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
A long time. It's good.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
You feel more comfortable, right, good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
It's so it's so passive aggressive. Honestly, it's the most
passive aggressive insulting ever. Just destroyed or Jesse. I'm just
wondering why illegals have rights under the Constitution. Well, they don't.
It's just that losers in the United States of America
(32:48):
pretend they do. Remember people across this country. Not only
on the left, there are people on the right as well.
They view everything through the of Hey, America does kind
of suck. So whatever I'm doing in life, even if
it's law, I should try to twist everything around so
(33:13):
I can kind of crap on this place. There are people,
genuine people on the right, not just the dirty communists
on the right, that will tell you till they're blue
in the face that the Constitution provides protections for illegals
who just stepped across the border. They will actually say
(33:34):
that to you. They'll even saying, like the Fourteenth Amendment,
which everybody knows, I mean anybody. You don't have to
be some legal expert. The Fourteenth Amendment was about slaves.
It was about freed slaves who deserved obviously the full
benefits of citizenship into this country. They took an amendment
(33:55):
about freed slaves and they used it. There are people
on the right to this day that will use it
as an excuse to allow some woman to step across
the border, have her baby, and tell you that that
baby is an American citizen. That is bonkers, bonkers. The
Constitution does not cover people from around the globe. The
(34:20):
Constitution protects American citizens, American citizens. The Constitution belongs to
you and you alone. Foreigners, they don't get to vote here. Foreigners,
you don't get due process here. Like see this all
the time. I've seen this all the time about the
(34:41):
illegals we're deporting. Doesn't anybody find it on that they're
just setting these people away without due process? You know
what your due process is in this country. Hang on,
let me check your citizenship status. Oh what's that? You're
not one? Then you have none. Period. There's your due process.
Your due process was me checking your papers. You're not
a Therefore, get on the plane and leave, period. End
(35:04):
of story. But we have allowed ourselves for so many
years to be manipulated by these do gooder dorks on
our own side that have managed to convince so many
of us that the Constitution is somehow a suicide pack
when it is absolutely not a suicide pact. But that's
(35:28):
the kind of thing we're up against right now. Let's
talk about monsters under your bed. Let's talk about a
city under the pyramids. More importantly, let's discuss Wait, what's
happening over there with the Ukraine negotiations, and we're going
to look back on something it's going to hurt. Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. By
the way, as promised, Ross Kennedy, our shipping expert, is
going to join us bout a half hour or so
from now. That's always a good time. This hour you
(00:31):
can gear up for ninja swords, for filthy communists being
arrested for attacking Tesla's emails. All that and so much
more coming up on The Jesse Kelly Show this hour.
I want to begin here and I should let you
know that I'm going to skip names of the criminals
(00:53):
in these stories and here here's why. It's not because
I am protective of these vicious little communists committee acts
of terrorism across the country. There's something about me that
you should know. Longtime listeners will know. But this is
for everybody. I as mean as I can be, I
really have a soft spot in my heart for people
(01:15):
who get their mug shot and name published before they've
been convicted of a crime. It is a weird thing
that has always bothered me. It doesn't bother you. Probably
I get that it's not a popular stance, even for
I don't want to dismiss something like driving drunk, but
even something like a dui. Somebody gets a dui in
(01:38):
your hometown, or even a Hollywood actor or something like that. Boom,
you wake up and there's their mugshot that has been published. Well,
that person has not been convicted of anything yet. People
get wrongfully convicted a lot. But setting that aside, people
get acquitted a lot. Innocent people get put on try
(02:00):
a lot. What if that person's innocent, you just ruined
their life. If tonight there's a case of let's say,
mistaken identity, and the cops kick in my door and
they throw handcuffs on me and drag me out of
my house because I've I'm suspected as being a part
(02:21):
of a drug ring. I'm selling drugs, lots and lots
of lots of drugs, black tar, heroin. And do you
think my mug shot? Do you think that would make
national news?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You bet it would? Do you bet it would? The
New York Times would be all over Everyone would be
all over it. What if I was totally innocent? What
if what if they got the wrong guy? Boom, there's
my mugshot, by the way, premiere and they're wonderful. There's
no complaints. But could Premiere even keep me on the
air if I just got busted for black tar heroin?
(02:52):
They can't afford that. You just wrecked my life. I
haven't been convicted of a thing, So anyway, that's a
long explanation. I'm not going to give out names. But
there's a lady rumored to be a millionaire Shiqui to Tesla.
Another gentleman, believe this one was in Las Vegas, just
got arrested. Did you see that story about the Tesla's
(03:13):
being set fire? Set on fire, lots of them. He
this dude got arrested and he's being charged with multiple
federal felonies. He's going bye bye for a very very
very long time. And I know you're gonna find this shocking,
but he's a lifelong communist, communist activist, I know, I know.
It's really really amazing. I saw something else today, only
(03:36):
this wasn't even in America. In the UK. You know
the Tesla charging stations. I personally don't have one, but
I know what they look like, the Tesla charging stations.
Somebody has gone around and you know that when Elon
Musk did the my heart goes out to you thing,
and everyone did the screenshot of it, so it made
(03:58):
it look like he was doing some kind of Nazi salute.
They put a picture of Elon Musk doing that on
all of them. I said all this to say this.
The communist, as we've talked about so many times, is
so very good at taking all of the demonic cult
(04:20):
followers of his sick religion and aiming their eyes at
one man or two men, and convincing their sick followers
that that particular man is the source of all their problems,
the source of all evil. And that's part of the reason.
It's a big reason why communists are so violent. You see,
(04:46):
when one man is the cause of all the problems
out there, combine that with the fact that you're an
anti human, I mean the human soul, the doesn't mean
anything to you. Well, if one man is the cause
of all my problems, and I don't have any moral
(05:10):
moral barriers that would keep me from hurting him, WHOA
why wouldn't I just hurt him? See, that's why Elon
Musk has had to jack his security through the roof.
That's why Donald Trump. Did you know that Donald Trump
before he was elected president? I don't know if this
is still the case. But I can tell you this now.
You know that Donald Trump after he was elected president,
(05:30):
the first time that he was out of office in
that four years, you know that he had to spend
a fortune of his own money on private security to
supplement the secret service he had because it wasn't enough.
Because this is what communists are so so good at,
getting the eyes of all their followers fixated on one
man and telling them, look, that's the guy. He's the
(05:54):
one hurting. You see him everything wrong? It's him. Do
you know one of these people? Do you know a
liberal and Peggy who does she rage about in such
a blind rage that there's not even any thought into
it at all? Donald Trump? And now I'm sure Elon
Musk gets lumped into that too. They're very, very good
at that. Speaking of the UK, they're gonna ban ninja swords,
(06:16):
and I don't want to talk about banning ninja swords
because that's really stupid. I just want to say that
I want one, really, really badly. What Chris, We've talked
about this before. What I know, it's a katana, Chris,
But when I have it, it's gonna be a ninja
sword because I'm gonna wear all black and put one
of those face mask things on, and I'll slink around
(06:36):
like a shadow. And I'll even I saw this. I know.
I'm tall, Chris, tall people can blend into the shadows too.
And have you ever seen those little claw things they
keep on their hands. I saw this in the movies,
so I'm sure it's real. They put these claw things
that come out of their palms. Yeah, and they can
climb like walls and stuff like Spider Man. I'm gonna
(06:59):
do that. I'm telling you, Yes, I can. Yes, I can, Chris,
I'm telling you I can do this. Jesse. Trump needs
to go full dictator mode or the country is done.
I would I'll put a little I'll twist that around
a little bit. Trump needs to do things that haven't
(07:21):
been done in a very very long time, or a
dictator will come. That's how I'll put it. Never remember,
I'm not gonna say things that have never been done before,
ignoring things like courts. That's things many presidents have done before.
The saintly Abraham Lincoln, who everyone seems to love. He's
(07:44):
set aside the entire freaking Constitution. He did away with
the freedom of the press. It took a flat out
the throw you in jail if you were a journalist.
And everybody in the world loves to worship old Saint Abe. Now,
American presidents have set aside quote norms for a long
time when they decide the situation is dire enough that
(08:07):
the norms must be set aside. I saw today that
Trump said put something else out on social media, raging
against that judge. You know, the whole text chat signal
chat controversy thing that I'm not talking about anymore. Well,
some comedy group is suing. Guess which judge got to
sign that case. The same judge that tried to turn
(08:29):
around all the Venezuelan gangbangers we sent down to El Salvador.
The same judge, the anti the anti Trump communist judge
keeps getting all these cases. And Trump put out something
on social media about how ridiculous and unfair it is
and how he can't get a fair shake. Well, yeah,
(08:49):
that's true. So what are you gonna do about it?
Because there's there are no social media posts, there's nothing
you can say, there's no appeal to reason, there's no
law you can cite, there's nothing you can do to
convince that judge to stop being a communist. That judge
(09:11):
is a communist who views his role as stopping Donald
Trump and protecting the communist revolution. And no matter what
you say to him or scream at him, that is
how he will always view his role. He views himself
as a frontline warrior for the communist revolution. He will
not be dissuaded by social media posts. He won't. You
(09:36):
can simply disregard everything he says. Tell him to bring
an army to the White House if he has a
problem with it, or presidency won't amount to munch because
this guy, you think this is the last time you're
gonna hear the name Judge Bosburg? I don't even know
if I'm saying his dumb name, right, Boasburg? Who cares
it's a stupid name anyway? Do you do you think
(09:56):
it's the last time you're going to hear his name.
This dude's gonna run the the United States of America
for four years until the Trump administration decides they're done
letting him do it, period, And a story got to
decide you're done. All right, let's do some me emails.
Some kid wants to talk about Hannibal. That's always a
good time. After Hannibal, we're going to talk about illegals.
Someone wants to know why do they have rights under
(10:18):
the constitution? All that in so much more plus again,
Ross Kennedy coming up about fifteen twenty minutes from now.
Hang on, this is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday. Don't forget.
You need to email your ask doctor Jesse questions in
(10:39):
for tomorrow. Email those to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yeah,
you know, Doug Collins seems to have the right idea
big cheese at the VA. You know, former Congressman Doug Collins.
Good man Caitlin Collins of course wants everyone to keep
talking about the scandal. This is exactly how you handle Theseeah.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
And I do have questions about the veterans. But given
what we saw with the group chat and how this
was used. You are a member of the cabinet. You
obviously know these other members, several of them who were
in there. Is this typical for the cabinet to have
conversations over signal? Is this something that you use?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
All right? Well? Kaylen send you and Dally do I
want to talk about the VA. I have a question,
as via secretary is Cabinet. I want to ask you
because I've been cohurious about this because my job is
to take care of veterans, and I would like to
know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one in
Florida where you just had a five million dollar defamation
suit taking of fence at a veteran who is trying
(11:36):
to help people. In fact, one of your employees actually
said we're gonna nail him. I have a question for you, Caitlin,
is that employees still employed? Are you really concerned about veterans?
So if we don't want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Veteran how many times I'll let them keep going? How
many times have we talked about playing offense, not defense?
Not well, I didn't do that, that's not right, not defense.
The communists is going to try to wrong foot you.
He's going to try to put you on the defense
so he can play offense if you start playing that game.
(12:09):
But I'm not a racist. If you start playing that game,
you lose offense.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Now you want to talk about everything else I'd like
to hear from CNN as the Veteran Cabinet secretary. Why
C and N seems to have a problem with veterans.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, mister secretary, respectfully, my question was about whether or
not he was a member of the cabinet when we
use this, and respectfully, I'm conducting the investigation, and I
do have a lot of questions for you on veterans affairs,
but I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Think what what do you want to do? Is the
cabinet answered? And if you want to continue this like this,
that's fine. But they're VA employees who are working very hard.
They are veterans who get their care from the VA,
and they get their benefits from the VA.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Listen, let's I'll let them keep going again. But listen,
Listen to how perfectly this is done. This is why
I wanted to play this. I honestly I might play
this two more times during the show. Listen now, how
he won't persuaded even when she presses again, pressing hard, no, please,
please talk about what I want please, But this is
but he doesn't get moved. Don't move when you are
(13:12):
arguing with your other kids in school. Don't move when
you're arguing with liberal aunt Peggy. Don't move. They are
going to try to move you onto something they want
to focus on. Don't allow them to frame the argust.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I mean, no good to spake it on something that
I've already asked an answer. So I've asked an answer
your question. Why don't you answer mine? Are you still
this person still employed who said they were gonna nail
one of my veterans, who you had to do a
five million dollars reward Jouri because of defamation, and then
you settled the case. Answer my question.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Respectfully, sir. I'm asking the questions here and I have
no involvement in it. But if you don't want to
answer the question whether or.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Not, I am now exactly how it should be done.
Good for Doug Collins, Hey, Oracle, you can say my name,
It's Landon. I'm thirteen years old. I live in North Dakota.
I wanted to ask what your reasoning was on Hannibal
being the greatest military leader of all time. Scipio did
(14:13):
beat Hannibal. I think you've said before that Scipio stole
his tactics, but Scipio took them and adapted them. I
just wanted you to know your thoughts. I just wanted
to know your thoughts on this signing off to tiny hands.
You know that's not nice. Even thirteen year olds are
dunking on me in North Dakota. That's not very nice.
One Landing two, Let's deal with the back end first.
(14:35):
Not to sound like people to judge, but you get
what I'm saying. Scipio adapted his tactics and improved them.
You know, one time I was in community college and
I took Shut Up Chris, and I took a course
on music. It was on a popular It was on
popular music, Shut Up Chris. It was an accredited course.
(14:57):
I needed it to well, not to graduate. I didn't
do that whatever. I took this course and it was
about the history of rock music and it went chronologically
by time right. And I know this is something you
already know, and I guess maybe deep down I knew it,
but it was It was amazing to watch it play
(15:18):
out as he laid it out, and he would play
the audio cuts of it. Pick your favorite band. Whatever
your favorite band happens to be led Zeppelin. I'll use
use led Zeppelin because that's probably my favorite, if not
their way up there, led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin was awesome
and yes, they were unique in a lot of ways,
and they were great that I love them. I love them.
(15:40):
But led Zeppelin, they would tell you that they got
a lot of their sound, a lot of their ideas
from this band that they grew up listening to. And
so if you then went back to that band and said, hey,
what about you, what about you have such a unique sound,
they would tell you yeah, yeah, but I grew up
(16:01):
listening to this band, and I took that band and
their sound, and I of course added it and improved
it and added my own ideas to it. You see,
taking what somebody does and improving it, adding your own
spin to it. It doesn't make you a thief, but
(16:23):
it also don't make you a genius. I say Hannibal
was tactically the greatest or one of the greatest of
all time. And I don't know that I could say the
greatest of all time because Hannibal wiped out the greatest
army on Earth, like four times. They kept the Roman
(16:46):
Army kept setting these huge forces at him, and Hannibal,
it's not like he'd barely win. He would just wipe
them right off the map. At one point in time, Rome,
the people in the city. They were sure he was
just gonna come take them, because he just wiped out
another army. I don't know of anybody who can say
things like that. Hannibal took on the heavyweight champion several
(17:10):
times and pummeled him in the first round. That's amazing.
When he was old, he lost, of course, but when
he was in his prime, you didn't want to rumble
with Hannibal. But you know what Hannibal didn't have. Hannibal
didn't have a chef IQ. You see, he was great,
(17:32):
but was he the greatest? Well? Could you imagine Hannibal
trying to cook you a steak versus me trying to
cook you a steak. My steak will be perfect every time?
How much is steak cost? That whole chicken you buy?
How much does it cost ever ruined one? Overcooked it,
undercooked it? What would you save if you never overcooked
(17:55):
or undercooked it again? What would you save monetarily? The
chef iq. Chef iq has created the IQ since, a
wireless cooking thermometer. You leave it in the meat. It
tells your phone the temperature. In fact, your phone will
tell you bebebep. It's done. No more guessing no more
(18:16):
ever ruining any meat ever. Go fifteen percent off at
chefq dot com code Jesse chefiq dot com code Jesse
perfect meat every time, just like mine. We talked to
Ross Kennedy Next Truth, Attitude, Jesse Kelly It is the
(18:43):
Jesse Kelly Show, and man Alive I Am. I've been
friends with Ross Kennedy for a while now he's joined
us on the radio before, founder of ford Us Analysis.
Pretty sharp guy. I would have thought by now Ross
would know if you don't pick the meat music, you
get the worst song we could find in short order.
But apparently Ross forgot. Ross.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Did you forget negative? I absolutely chose that just for
you and for everybody listening at home.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Ross, do you want to hear the most embarrassing thing
in the world about that song? I'll give it to you.
I'm gonna give it to everybody. I've never told this
story before. Ross is supposed to talk with now, I'm
going to talk really quickly when that song was really
really popping off, or maybe a little after. But I
was in Iraq first be time, seventh Marines, and we
(19:34):
didn't have internet or TV or anything like. We were
there before there were any actual facilities. But there was
one channel. We were guarding the mayor of some dump
that everyone was trying to kill him. And there was
one channel on the TV and it played music videos,
and that was one of the music videos. And the
girl who was in the music video to us, because
we didn't see any women, was so attractive that my
(19:55):
entire unit, if they weren't on patrol, would gather around
the television to watch the music video. That song. That's
a true story.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Ross, I can't beat it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, anyway, Ross, I heard this and it was music
to my ears.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It building in past Goagoula has just received a multimillion
dollar national security contract. The investment is expected to strengthen
the United States national security presence in the Arctic and
reinforced Mississippi's role in the ship building industry. Officials say
the Coast Guard requires a new fleet to protect interest
in the Arctic, hence the investment.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Is Ross, tell me about the Coast Guard shipbuilding Mississippi.
What's happening.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well, we've only got a few icebreakers still active in
the fleet, and one or two of them are even
you know, privately owned by Edison Truest Offshore out of Louisiana,
but are under long term contract and so Coast Guard
hasn't had a new icebreaker built in something like forty years.
And with the opening of you know, what is variously
(20:54):
called Arctic Sea Passage, Northern Sea Route, the obviously the
build to move over the Arctic, and either Project Force
or Commerce, China, Russia, a lot of countries have been
investing into their heavy ice breaker capacity so that we
do have the ability to take some of these short
paths through the Arctic. And you know, for various reasons.
(21:17):
So being up there, whether it's for scientific research, whether
it's for commercial reasons, or for military reasons, requires that
you have these ice breakers and that you be able
to move other conventional hold ships through the region. And
so this does signal that whatever the cost is, you know,
the new investment was I believe it was like a
(21:37):
billion with a bee in the ballinger. To continue to
extend the program and keep it moving on its feet
and get these ice breakers out is a very very
clear signal that the United States is not in any
way abdicating its role. It's very much we would need
the same kind of ships to be able to protect
interest that we may have now or would be developing
(21:59):
with Greenland as well as support Canada and some of
our other allies in the Arctic.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Ross Greenland is obviously something that perked everybody's ears up
because it's something Trump has been hot on for a
long time. He'd sniffed around on it in his first term.
He's a lot hotter on it now. But Greenland's a frozen,
miserable healthscape. Why do we care about it?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well, I mean I care about it. I actually have
a family connection to it. Grandpa did multiple tuiyes there
in the fifties as part of Strategic Air Command. But
you know that very small connection aside, you're talking about
a country that, either from known or inferred reserves, is
sitting on a vast, vast amount of riches, whether it's
(22:42):
oil and natural gas and other conventional fossil fuels. But really,
what I think has everyone's interests peaked in this is
the undeveloped resources. Mineral ores, metals, critical minerals, you know,
so that would be rare earth, that would be your
magnetic minerals. That are you know, dysprosium and itserium and
all these other things that have names. I can't even spell,
(23:02):
but they are immensely valuable. They are very very hard
to find. They rarely occur in other places, and so
for even the ones that are more available but hard
to develop, a lot of these that are very difficult
to develop. We do know some level of them are there,
and the race is on, and China is already there
drilling core samples looking for proof of these things that
(23:25):
we all suspect are there. So this is really about
denying a major adversary access to things that they already
control the majority global supply of, but also shoring up
stockpiles of these for ourselves and for our allies.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Speaking with Ross Kennedy, founder of Fortis Analysis, Okay, Ross,
I'm going to ask you to do something that may
be difficult for you, but I need you to take
your two hundred plus IQ and I need you to
turn it down to about eighty. Where I'm at, I
hear people talk about rare earth and minerals all the time,
and I get that there are things that are rare,
Like I get that valuable things that are rare. What
(24:00):
I don't understand is why they're valuable. Where are they used? Okay,
they're rare, I get it, why do I care.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Well, A good example you know, of why we care
about Greenland is the same reason that you know, presumably
the president and his team are taking very seriously the
recent offer from the President of Congo d RC, the
Democratic Republic of Congo UH to provide safekeeping in some
way for his country from the M twenty three rebels
(24:29):
coming out of Rwanda. And that is rare earth in
this in the case of d r C, it's cobalt.
And when you take a look at so that's cobalt,
that's lithium, that's you know, that are in kind of
the rare earth category. But these are largely very specialized.
Rare earths actually aren't all that rare, despite the name.
There are others that are far more rare and important.
(24:51):
But that's battery technology. You need a lot of nickel
and zinc and cobalt and lithium to make batteries, you know,
And so for someone like Elan Mu that is the
critical single point of failure in his supply chain. But
then when you extend that, you look at semiconductors, microprocessors,
you look at lenses and housings and casements for satellites.
(25:13):
That allows us to kind of look down from above
and deliver data and service all over the world. Every
missile that we have has rare earths and critical minerals
in it, and so and it's the same for China
and Russia and all other modern technologies. So these minerals
are refined and processed, even in very small quantities, into
everything digital in the world, whether it's the batteries or
(25:35):
the chips or any other component the radios. So the
digital world runs on these things, and right now the
United States is largely losing the race for most of them.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Okay, why are we losing? How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Well, I think we took our eye off the ball,
you know, for the same reason we're in dire straits
and needing to build ice breakers at record speed and
billions of dollars into that icebreaker program. And it's like
so many other things. And you know, beginning in the eighties, really,
you know, Gordon Gecko, greed is good, well, greed and
returns and quarterly profit margins at that time and really
(26:12):
through today, has continued to be outsource. Take hard assets
and minerals and refining and all of these things that
are upstream of civilization that we would depend on and
just go get it cheaper somewhere else. Go get it
in China, go get it in Brazil, go get it wherever.
But let somebody else carry the the environmental and labor
(26:33):
load and energy and water and everything that goes into
these Let them do that. And we're the United States,
and nobody's going to screw with us ever again. And
so like in that late Pax Americana kind of time frame,
our assumption was just that we were at the end
of history and everything was going to be fine from
there on out. And what we have found is that
(26:54):
when we took our eye off the balls, starting with
admitting China to the you know, proposing and blessing them
into the w which began under President Clinton and happened,
you know, finally under President Bush, we let China to
the WTO. And at that point it was just continue
to outsource, outsourced, outsource. We don't need to do these things,
So let's be a services economy. Let's make yet more
(27:16):
software for companies or whatever was needed. And we don't
need these things. And now we have found out that
of the list of forty something critical minerals that we
are supposed to maintain stockpiles of for our military and
for our commercial sector. Pretty much everywhere. Most of these
are available are in places that China has completely co
(27:37):
opted and gained a significant majority of market share. And
it's even simple things like aluminum wor box side. It's
a bright red, beautiful mineral. Jamaica has a lot of it.
Guyana has a lot of it here in our hemisphere. Guyana,
our secretary of Rubio is today meeting with their president.
It's you add these things up and you say, okay.
The largest box side producer in Jamaica, the largest box
(28:01):
site producer in Guyana are both Chinese companies. And between
those two countries we have one company that is actually
mining and bringing them to the US, but we only
have one ilumina refinery. And as much as we need
all of that to make aluminum, downstream of that is
the fact that gallium, which is one of the most
critical materials for making semiconductors and space age sensors, gallium
(28:25):
is most reliably achieved like sourced, by refining box site
into alumina. And so we've cut off our noses to
spite our face on this. So we have our own decisions.
But China has just moved in and filled that vacuum
and all of these countries where all of these things are,
and we've kind of allowed them to do it because
we were focused on other things, as you are familiar
(28:46):
with for the last twenty to twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I am so much freaking smarter now. Ross Kennedy, you
are the man, my brother. Thank you, appreciate you. Hey, Chris,
let me tell you about Buddy. You probably didn't know
anything about it. You know what else? Congo. I'm not
that much of an expert, but I saw the movie.
Doesn't look like a very nice place. We still have
a lot more of the show to go. Let me
(29:11):
tell you about pure Talk. You want to talk about rare.
Pure Talk's more rare than lithium. I don't know if
that's actually true, because you can get it everywhere, but anyway,
it's rare to find a company that loves the United
States of America and that'll give you top notch cell
phone service for a greatly reduced price. How about a
thousand dollars average family saves a thousand dollars a year
(29:37):
when they switch to Puretalk. You know what I'm currently
doing with pure talk. Oh wait, I can't give it
away yet. Just know you're going to love it. You're
going to love it. Do you enjoy Medal of Honor Mondays?
You're going to enjoy what's coming next. Anyway, I love them.
They're patriotic. Their CEO is a Vietnam veteran. It's easy
(29:58):
to switch right now. When you switch, you save an
extra fifty percent off your first month. Dial pound two
five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two five zero,
Say Jesse Kelly. We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Thursday.
(30:22):
Remember tomorrow's and ask doctor Jesse Friday. And you did
to get your questions emailed in now to Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. So there's something that Trump does,
maybe better than any GOP politician in my life, and
that is insult people, even in sometimes the most passive
(30:43):
aggressive way in the world. And what he said today
to this reporter left me in stitches. And let me explain.
I was flying. Did I tell you this last night
that I was flying and my oldest boy was the
TSA agent was stopping him to ask for his id.
(31:04):
But of course she waddled away into the chair and
plopped down and had a mask on, and therefore you
couldn't understand her, and he couldn't understand her. So I
had just gone through. She waddles in, takes over, pops down,
and goes war. Well, he's the nicest boy in the world,
(31:24):
he said, I'm sorry, I don't understand. She gets it
to him again. I'm sorry, I need to see your ID,
she shouts at him. Off my dad. Blood pressure went
about pop the blood vessel in my head. So the
mask thing I was understanding for a long time. Maybe
(31:44):
you're just weird. I get that some people just like
wearing a mask that they got conditioned with all the propaganda.
I get it. But I'm all about freedom of choice.
Do you want to do that, you do it, it's fine. Whatever.
Now ah, now you're weird. Right now, now it's odd.
(32:05):
And now we're at the point where you should probably
be shamed. And I got to be honest, man, Trump
just kills me sometimes.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're wearing a mask, So nice of you.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I haven't seen anybody wearing a mask in.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
A long time. It's good.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
You feel more comfortable, right, good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
It's so it's so passive aggressive. Honestly, it's the most
passive aggressive insulting ever. Just destroyed or Jesse. I'm just
wondering why illegals have rights under the Constitution. Well, they don't.
It's just that losers in the United States of America
(32:48):
pretend they do. Remember people across this country. Not only
on the left, there are people on the right as well.
They view everything through the of Hey, America does kind
of suck. So whatever I'm doing in life, even if
it's law, I should try to twist everything around so
(33:13):
I can kind of crap on this place. There are people,
genuine people on the right, not just the dirty communists
on the right, that will tell you till they're blue
in the face that the Constitution provides protections for illegals
who just stepped across the border. They will actually say
(33:34):
that to you. They'll even saying, like the Fourteenth Amendment,
which everybody knows, I mean anybody. You don't have to
be some legal expert. The Fourteenth Amendment was about slaves.
It was about freed slaves who deserved obviously the full
benefits of citizenship into this country. They took an amendment
(33:55):
about freed slaves and they used it. There are people
on the right to this day that will use it
as an excuse to allow some woman to step across
the border, have her baby, and tell you that that
baby is an American citizen. That is bonkers, bonkers. The
Constitution does not cover people from around the globe. The
(34:20):
Constitution protects American citizens, American citizens. The Constitution belongs to
you and you alone. Foreigners, they don't get to vote here. Foreigners,
you don't get due process here. Like see this all
the time. I've seen this all the time about the
(34:41):
illegals we're deporting. Doesn't anybody find it on that they're
just setting these people away without due process? You know
what your due process is in this country. Hang on,
let me check your citizenship status. Oh what's that? You're
not one? Then you have none. Period. There's your due process.
Your due process was me checking your papers. You're not
a Therefore, get on the plane and leave, period. End
(35:04):
of story. But we have allowed ourselves for so many
years to be manipulated by these do gooder dorks on
our own side that have managed to convince so many
of us that the Constitution is somehow a suicide pack
when it is absolutely not a suicide pact. But that's
(35:28):
the kind of thing we're up against right now. Let's
talk about monsters under your bed. Let's talk about a
city under the pyramids. More importantly, let's discuss Wait, what's
happening over there with the Ukraine negotiations, and we're going
to look back on something it's going to hurt. Hang on,
