Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on
a fantastic Thursday, about to talk about paid protests. Here
we're gonna discuss because we have a great example. We're
gonna discuss why they love violent crime. We'll do that.

(00:34):
Emails a lot more in this second hour of The
Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday. And don't forget tomorrow's
Ask Doctor Jesse Friday and get your questions emailed in
now to Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. First, there was
a story out there. Well there's a company. It's called
Crowds on Demand and the name probably gives it away.

(01:00):
What do they do? They provide a crowd. Now, let's
pause for a second here and explain why that matters,
because it's going to really matter for our purposes. People
people want to go where other people are. It's human nature.
Did you know that restaurants, when a restaurant is opening

(01:23):
or wants a little boost in something, did you know
that restaurants are known to do this. They will hire
people to fill up the restaurant and wait outside in line.
It works. Look, I bet you money. That exact tactic
has worked on me multiple times, because when I'm hungry

(01:46):
and I'm looking for food and I see a crowd,
I say to myself, well that's where I'm going. Clearly,
all those people must know something. They're not all in
line for nothing. The crowd tells me it's good. And
by the way, restaurants aren't the only ones that do this.
It's just it's one of the best examples I can

(02:06):
think of. Crowds speak to people. They do. If if
you see a picture of a band and they it's
one of those pictures where the band is taking a
picture from the stage looking out at the crowd and
it's fifteen people in the crowd. Looks bad, look slame.

(02:28):
But you see one of those pictures, you know, Metallica
playing at a football stadium and there's seventy thousand people
there going crazy. Even if you're not a huge Metallica fan,
you think to yourself, man, that would be sweet. Hey,
maybe we should go. Crowds do affect the human psyche,
yours mind. They just do. Communists have always understood that.

(02:53):
But remember this. Remember communism is never popular. It's just not.
It's a sick demonic religion of destruction. It's never going
to have widespread popularity. So if you don't have widespread popularity,
you have to appear to have widespread popularity because people

(03:16):
follow crowds. Remember, hey, Chris, grab that audio of those
two morons at Columbia during the Palestinian protests where they
were asking why you're there. I'm not really sure, but
this is something communists have used. They used it all
the time. In West Germany. They would pay, you know,
the communists were in East Germany. They would pay to

(03:36):
have protests. In West Germany. They would of course go
to college campuses. That's where you find the most commies,
and they would rev up these protests on college campuses.
But you don't need everybody. Pay enough people to bring
out a little bit of a crowd that can grow
into a bigger crowd, which could grow into a bigger crowd.

(03:57):
Always the appearance of popularity that is huge for them.
They do it all the time and they know it.
This guy, CEO of Crowds on Demand, he came out
and said the Communists offered him twenty million dollars to

(04:20):
do anti Trump demonstrations. Why, I mean, surely everybody hates Trump, right,
I mean that's what you have to sell anyway. You
have to sell that people are very unhappy, people are dying,
people hate the Trump administration. But that's not really true.

(04:42):
So if it's not true, you need the appearance of
it being true. It's very very very effective, very effective.
Oh yeah, that's a good one, Chris. By the way,
remember all the Doge protests. Remember what Doge was? Those
was Elon Musk. He gets in there Department of Government

(05:03):
Efficiency and he's gonna find these horribly wasteful, fraudulent things
in the government. He's gonna stop it. Well, who's against that?
I mean even a Democrat if you isolate it, take
Elon's name out of it, take Trump's name out of it,
and you ask a Democrat, hey, do you think the
government should be taking your money to create trainees in Zimbabwe?

(05:26):
Even a Democrat and a private moment would probably say
probably not. So why were there all these protests? Hey, Chris?
Play it? Yeah, I get any donors. You get paid
to be out here? Yeah, amazing, So seat you really
are get paid for this?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Absolutely, I'm getting paid for this.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Communists protests in America, you've had to endure them for
years and years and years. No matter how old you are,
you have watched the street end, animals, vandalize, riot protest, vandalize,
riot protest, and maybe you've said to yourself at one
point in time, how were there that many people that
have that kind of energy? How were there this many
people that do this. They're always paid and organized, and

(06:16):
they're paid and organized with the hopes that they will
create a crowd and that the crowd will just naturally
attract other people and it did. You saw this actually
during Saint George Floyd. Do you know how many of
those people who were looting and rioting and burning things,
how many of those people were actually angry about perceived

(06:37):
racial injustice in the country, A tiny, tiny, tiny percent.
A lot of people just wanted a new state. Jordan's
from foot Locker. A lot of people. Remember this was
during COVID. You're sitting around the burbs, You're safe, You're bored.
Ah Man, I heard there's a couple thousand people marching
on city Hall. We could go have some sandwiches, head down,

(07:02):
do a little rioting. Sounds like a good time. People
follow crowds and communists know this all right, do some more.
Email Jesse, Apache Death Cave. Hey, Jesse, you were just
what a subject line for an email? You were just
talking about how commedy democrats always want to blather about

(07:23):
evil America and how Indians were such peaceful people. Here's
a fun fact. There's a place outside of Flagstaff, Arizona,
called two Guns. In the eighteen nineties, a group of
two dozen Apache wiped out two Navajo villages and kidnapped
two young girls. When the Navajo found them in a cave,
they told the Apache that they could surrender if they

(07:45):
returned the girls. The Apache said they had already been killed.
The Navajo stuff the cave entrance was shrubbery and burned
them all to death. So much for the Indians living
in harmony with nature and smoking peyote and the piece.
But okay, first, I'm kind of an Apache fan, you
know they mean clarify. I like Indian tribes. I have

(08:08):
always been fascinated by various tribal peoples have everywhere, and
our own homegrown American Indians fascinating me. I like to
learn about them. I find the way of life to
be fascinating, and I find the different tribes fascinating and
there are some tribes. Obviously, there were many, many peaceful tribes,

(08:29):
many tribes who were almost universally warlike. That was all
they did. When you have a Comanche, someone like that,
they were a warlike people. The Lakota, the Sioux, you
would probably know them that. There were many different kinds,
but they were a very warlike people. They believed in war.
What I'm about to say is, I'm not sure it's
going to come across the right way, but I don't

(08:53):
always view the warlike tribes as being bad in the
peaceful tribe as being good. I'm not saying the warlike
tribes didn't do some bad things. Of course they did.
But there's always a place for war. Two, there's a
place for peace. I don't really look at it as
good or bad. When it comes to the Apache, remember

(09:18):
the Pache, they were raiders and slave traders. Man did
that rhyme and that was sweet. They were raiders and
slave traders big time, mainly with the Mexicans. They would
kidnap Mexicans and they would sell them into slavery. And
the Mexicans, by the way, they did the same thing
to the Apache. They would raid, kidnap them, sell them

(09:43):
into slavery. What was it? I think it was Geronimo,
if I remember right, had one of the all time quotes.
And I'm going to mess this up a little bit,
I believe, but it was I think from his deathbed, Geronimo,
the Great Apache War Chief Geronimo, he was asked, you know, hey,
all this death, all this war, all the stuff, do
you have any regrets? And he said, yeah, I wish
i'd killed more Mexicans. They really did not get along.

(10:06):
But there are all kinds of different tribes all over
the place. But yes, of course, the narrative your social
studies teacher taught you that they were just one with
the land until the evil white man came along. Oh
shut up. They were killing each other over the land
all the freaking time. You were always killing each other
over something, just like all human beings do. There's not

(10:27):
some higher plane of people just because they were less
technologically advanced. That's not how it works at all. Now,
speaking of technology, let me do this email hey Jesse.
Tonight I did my first chef IQ of marinated pork
tenderloin with little potatoes, sliced sweet peppers, red onions, diced
mince garlic, Italian parsley, and chives ooh, topped off with

(10:51):
a bit of evo and an Italian spice cooked to
a perfect medium rare one hundred and forty five degrees fahrenheit.
It's amazing that the IQ shows the oven temperature, the
meat internal temperature, estimates the time done, and gives the
time to take it out and rest while it continues

(11:11):
to cook. I bought the three probes set with your
promotion discount, well worth the money. My big question for
Chef Jesse is have you ever used all three probes
at the same time. No, it intimidates me. I know
I should I use the double. I prefer the double.
I started out with the double before I even knew

(11:31):
there was a triple. I know I should use the triple,
but I'm afraid either way. Chefq dot com code Jesse
saves you fifteen percent emails. Next The Jesse Kelly Show.
It's still real to me, Dammit the turnstacks. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a great Thursday. I feel

(11:55):
like it's gonna be a good weekend and a good
week I also feel tell me if you feel this,
I feel like there's I feel like there's a big
story that's gonna come slamming down tomorrow. Don't look at
me like that, Chris. Why do you look at me
like that? It feels it feels like we're on the

(12:15):
cusp of something and I can't put it into words.
What it is? What Chris? What Chris said? Is it
because there's no major news today? No? No, it's not
that I don't know. I just I have a feeling.
I have a sense, if you will. Have you ever

(12:37):
have you ever seen or read about a gentleman named
spider Man, how he could sense when there's danger and
is though this is weird, looking arm here would stand up.
That's what I'm like when it comes to political news.
You can call me Spider Jesse, and I think telling

(12:58):
you I think there's something coming anyway. Let's talk about
something something we've discussed before, about violent crime and why
Democrats love it, why communists love it, and they do.
George Soros and many many others have spent a fortune

(13:20):
to take over the district attorney position in multiple cities
across America. New York, LA, so many others, Pittsburgh. They
spend this huge amount of money to get in the
district attorney they want, and other politicians. It's not just DA's,
it's judges and things like that, and they start letting

(13:42):
criminals off easy. Sometimes they let them off scot free.
They campaign to have these guys released from jail and
for norms and normas, the normies out there. They don't understand.
And of course the GOP is so pathetic and stupid
a messaging they started calling him soft on crime DA's

(14:03):
when that's not what they are at all. They're not
soft on crime. They're pro crime. They are pro murder,
pro rape, pro robbery, pro assault. It's what they want.
When they take a career criminal with a rap sheet
as long as the CBS receipt and they turn him

(14:26):
lose from jail, they understand full well he's going to
go out and hurt somebody else, and when he does,
they're not all wholl I can't believe he would. I
thought he'd changed. They wanted him to. But what people
struggle with is why, even if you're on the left,

(14:49):
you want women to get raped. That's so demonic. Why
would you want that? Here's why violent crime it does
some violence in general, it does something unique to the
human psyche This is how we're created. If I told

(15:09):
you right now that the next time you left the
house you were going to have the worst time, you
were going to get a flat tire. After you got
the flat tire, you were going to get to a
store and all your credit cards were going to get declined.
And then when you left the store, you would get

(15:31):
stuck behind a train and then there would be a
terrible car wreck ahead of you and you would be
stuck in traffic for three hours. Okay, So if I
just laid all that out for you, that would suck,
and you would leave the house knowing, Okay, this is
gonna suck, but I'll get through it. Now. Think about
that mentality, what I just told you, versus this mentality.

(15:51):
The next time you leave the house, when you're walking
through the parking lot, a bad man is going to
bash you over the face with the club and he's
going to break your arm, and he's gonna steal your
wallet and punch all your teeth out. How's your mentality now?

(16:12):
Not good? Violence creates in people everybody, We're all like.
This creates in people a different kind of fear, a
palpable kind of fear, a fear so great that human instinct,
oftentimes is I will avoid that at any cost. Whatever

(16:38):
it takes to avoid that, I will do it. For
most people, if I told them you're going to get
the flat tire, and you're gonna get your credit cards declined,
and you're gonna get stuck in traffic, they may delay
going out, but at some point in time, all right,
I gotta go out. You'll go out. But if I

(16:58):
were to tell you that scenario number two, all your
teeth knocked out, broken arm beaten over the face, many
people would never leave their home again if they knew
that would happen the next time they went out. The
communist has always understood that in the Soviet Union, they
not only opened up the prisons, they opened up the prisons,

(17:19):
and then they had judges protect the violent criminals they
just let out of prison. In fact, if you if
you stopped the violent criminal, they would prosecute you and
not the violent criminal. Did you think what's taking place
here in America is new or unique? Communists? Communists always

(17:41):
use the same techniques in creating the fear of violence
inside of people. It helps them. It helps them because
human beings, when faced with the prospect the potential of violence.
Human beings will agree to think they never would otherwise

(18:02):
agree to that scenario. You're gonna go out, get beaten,
get your teeth knocked out. If I could make that
situation go away for five hundred dollars, would you give
it to me? I just extorted you for five hundred dollars.
Of course you would. Most people would. That's how it works.

(18:25):
I have a great audio example of this in a
moment before I do that. Memories are everything. That is
something that I have learned over the years. It's probably
why we're not big on stuff. You know, boats and
jet skis. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I
love that stuff, but we are huge on creating memories

(18:48):
as a family. Today this morning, first thing, we got up,
went on a nice long hike together, then we went
out to breakfast. That that's a memory. We even took
a big family selfie courtesy of OPS. It's a memory
that is more important than any gift. More important than
any gift. Someone way by me for my birthday on Sunday,
which is July twentieth, my forty fourth birthday. Listen, Legacy box.

(19:14):
Legacy Box is your gift, not just to you, to
your mother, to your wife, to your husband, to your children,
to your great great great grandchildren who you will never meet.
Digitize your home movies. Digitize those hard copy pictures. Those
are memories you made. Keep them forever Forever. Legacybox dot

com slash Jesse. We'll be back get the Care for
Rhinos eight days with the Jesse Kelly Show. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Thursday. Before we
get back to the emails, let's finish up the point.

(19:56):
I was making the point about violent crime, and I've
explained it many times before that the communist uses violent
crime to destabilize the community, destabilize a country, create in
your mind a feeling of fear and angst. And then
once you're there, once you're desperate, I don't want to

(20:17):
be hurt. Then he comes in and he says, hey,
just give me more power, let me take over everything,
and you don't have to be afraid anymore. Chris Jewish
producer Chris made the comparison to the mafia, and it's
almost identical to that. You show up somebody's movie, theater.

(20:40):
You bash in all the windows of the movie theater,
and you show up the next day and say, hey,
I heard somebody bash in your windows. Man, it's a
bad neighborhood. Scary stuff, scary stuff out there. If you
pay me five hundred dollars a week, I can make
sure nobody ever bashes in your windows again. Now that's

(21:01):
not just something in the movies. That's something that has
happened and is happening as we speak. What if that's
your movie theater, been in the family for years. You
can't afford to replace the windows every week. You're afraid.
I've got to make the bottom line. I have to
pay my mortgage, my wife, my kids, Christmas is coming up.
Five hundred dollars I can make that work. I want

(21:25):
you to listen to this. This is the Minneapolis City Council. Now,
remember what has happened in Minneapolis in the wake of
Saint George Floyd dying of a drug overdose. They have
destroyed that city, opened up the jails. The police department
is practically empty. I believe they're at half strength, maybe
a little bit more than half strength. But the cops

(21:47):
won't even respond to most calls there aren't even enough
cops at this point in time. Businesses are vacating the city.
The Robert car theft is through the roof. It's a disaster.
And maybe you've never been to Minneapolis. I've been quite
a few times. Minneapolis was a great American city and
now the animals have taken it over. Listen very closely

(22:10):
to Minneapolis's city council pretty much explaining exactly what I
just did.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
How we can leverage every tool that we have at
the city to make sure all of our residents have
access to fresh, affordable produce. The research that we receive
again is very exploratory. It provides examples of where other
cities have stepped up to provide for food resources for
their residents when there was an absence of a grocery store.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
In the high crime areas. They're going to let the
government take over the grocery stores, provide new grocery stores. Oh,
I'm so sorry. Is crime really bad? There have the
grocery stores had to close up and leave? Man, that's
a real shame. Anyway, you should probably let us take

(23:03):
over everything so you can have groceries and be safe.
This is how they've always done it. And always will
remember that. Jesse. Actually this guy says doctor lady hands,
it's not very nice. The subject to this is if
your theory is true, then what happens next. If your
theory is completely true, then Trump's only way out is

(23:26):
through tell the truth. Release everything you have authority over explained.
You believe the files have been modified, then bunker down
and write out the storm. There's no master strategy. The
truth will set you free. Okay, So Caroline Levitt kind
of touched on it a little bit today.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
President is referring to the fact that Democrats have now
seized on this as if they ever want a transparency
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Suggestion for any Democrat to make.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
The Democrats had control of this building, the White House,
for four years, and they didn't do it dang thing
when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein
and his heinous crimes. It was this president who directed
the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to do
an exhaustive review of all files related to.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Jeffrey Epstein, which they did.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
The Attorney General and the FBI, led by Pam Bondi
Dan Bongino, Cash Ptel. These are great patriots, some of
the most trusted voices in the Republican Party movement.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
It's part of the reason the President appointed.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Him appointed them to these high law enforcement positions. And
they spent many months going through all of the files
related to Jeffrey Epstein, and they concluded what they found
in that memo which they drafted and they released. And
so the President has been transparent. He has followed through
on his promises to the American people.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Okay, she's not wrong about Democrats now calling to release
it when they didn't before. Jamie Raskin was actually asked,
why are you calling to release it now and you
didn't before. He didn't have a good answer.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
So I mean to go back and look specifically at
particular prosecutorial decisions and what was taking place in terms
of the other cases. So I don't know, we could
try to reconstruct that record. But the point is is
that Donald Trump is the one who has led the
crusade to say that Epstein, who was his very close friend,

(25:23):
and there's all kinds of pictures of them.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Okay, My theory, in case you missed yesterday's show, was
that there's a bunch of bunk information in those files,
maybe some put there by the deep state after Joe
Biden lost. Maybe some was there originally. Remember we already
know that originally there were all kinds of false accusations

(25:49):
that got put in there with the real accusations. This
is information that's been out there forever. We know all
that stuff. That stuff's known. I have told you, and
I believe that Donald Trump name is in there somewhere. No,
I don't believe it's credible. I do not believe that
there's anything Donald Trump did wrong with Jeffrey Epstein, just
because we've never heard anything like that before. But I

(26:10):
also believe that Trump thinks it's about to come out,
and I think that's why he's been taking a very
unpopular stance by prepping the ground and telling people it's
not credible. It's a Democrat hoax. It's a Democrat hoax.
You remember yesterday when I came on here and I
told you I think it's going to be leaked. Get
ready for a leak. Get ready for a leak. Remember

(26:30):
when I said that, here's Mark Halperin from today.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Let me share something with you that everyone I say
that in their quotes. Everyone I know knows hasn't been
publicly reported. Everyone I know believe is a major newspaper,
one of the top three newspapers in the country is
to write about to publish a piece about President Trump's
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Okay, everyone I know knows that,
and people in the White House know that too. When

(26:54):
that story drops, if it drops today, and some people
think it might, it could drive the day.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Just listen to the old oracle. I think there's going
to be leak. Don't think Donald Trump did anything wrong.
I think his very unpopular public stance it's a hoax.
Move on, it's a hoax. Move on. It's not credible.
It's not credible. Member Camy, Member Ray. I think that
was Donald Trump prepping the ground for a leak that

(27:25):
he's going to have to explain and what he's going
to do when the leak comes out, He's going to say, Hey,
I told you it was a a hoax. I told
you this was all about the Democrats. I told you
so see, it's a lie. It's a hoax. Where we
go from here, I don't know that's what I believe

(27:45):
we'll see. I had not heard that yesterday when I
said it, I just kind of felt it having listened
to him say the same thing over and over again.
And remember Trump is it's a populist, and Trump knows
what people want to hear. If Trump says something people
don't want to hear, he stopped saying it. That's why

(28:07):
he stopped trying to sell you the vaccine on the
campaign trio. He kept getting booed. The crowd would go silence,
so we stopped saying it. Donald Trump came out when
he first said, move on. This is dumb, this is stupid.
We shouldn't even talk about this. You think he didn't
hear everybody yelling at him about it. Trump has big
ears he heard. Yet he kept saying it. He kept
saying it, He kept saying it. He kept saying it,

(28:29):
which begs the question why. Because taking an unpopular stance
and prepping the ground was more beneficial in his eyes
than backing away from it. He wanted the message out
there that it's not credible, that it's a hoax. Let's
move on. We'll do some more emails before we move on.

(28:50):
I need you to move on from Verizon AT and
T and T Mobile. It's time to move on. It's
time to stop giving corporations who hate you your money.
I know that is difficult. Sometimes it's very, very difficult
for people who buy a car. My wife has been
going through this. When it comes to makeup, she doesn't
wear a ton of it, but like any other woman,

(29:11):
like any other American woman, she wears some good luck
finding a makeup company that isn't a soul esteemon. But
when it comes to your mobile provider, you really should
switch to Pure Talk. Not only do they make it easy,
you get to talk to an American. They hire Americans.
They don't hire click click from some third world dump

(29:34):
who you can understand I'm dark? Could you repeat that?
I can't no more of that? A pleasant American you
get to speak to you on the phone. Why would
you hire Americans? Don't you know you have to pay
more because their CEO fought for this country in Vietnam
and America actually means something to the people who lead
pure Talk. Switch today, dial pound two five zero and

(29:57):
say Jesse Kelly Pound two fives Say Jesse Kelly, We'll
be back. Feeling a little stocky, Follow like and subscribe
on social at Jesse Kelly. Show it is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Thursday. Man, we only
have one hour left after this. That's too bad. But

(30:19):
don't forget. You can email the show your love and
your hate and your death threats all are welcome, but
most importantly for tomorrow emailing your ask doctor Jesse questions
to Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. The show belongs to
you tomorrow, Chris. Before we get to the emails, I
have an idea and I think it's not gonna be

(30:41):
a bad one. Why do you say that before I
even get it out? Listen? They have this thing called
COP thirty. COP thirty maybe you've heard this before. COP
thirty is a cloimate conference. It's one of these big
genocidal maniac climate change conferences. They do these things quite

(31:07):
a bit. They did one hilariously in Dubai, like the
Land of Oil, but they did a COP thirty conference.
I just saw they're doing one down in Brazil, a
COP thirty climate conference where all these billionaires get together
and figure out how to exterminate four to five billion people. Yeah,

(31:28):
really lighthearted stuff like that. At this COP thirty conference
in Brazil. In Brazil. They're running out two cruise ships
to use as hotels, so they do these COP thirty
conferences in highly desirable locations, right Brazil. I want to

(31:50):
go to Brazil. Sounds tropical. I bet they have tacos
or something. I bet the food. I bet the food
in Brazil's delicious. They have all these cattle. I bet
you can get amazing beef. Maybe take the wife down
to the beach. I want to see Brazil, Chris. What
if we started broadcasting from the COP thirty climate conferences

(32:15):
and we'll sell the suits that it's a it's good
publicity for the show. What what? It would be great publicity,
but I wouldn't be invited. We could go undercover. You
know how good I am at deep cover stuff. I'm

(32:37):
not a giant. Six foot eight is not a giant.
For one two. Blending in isn't about your height, Chris,
It's about a mindset. When I want to disappear into
the crowd like a shadow, I can. We could go
broadcast from these We'll sell corporate on that we're trying

(33:00):
to do. I don't know good publicity, but in reality,
we're down in Brazil. I've always wanted to go to Brazil.
I'm a little concerned about anaconda's and stuff like that,
but I've still always wanted to go to Brazil. What, Chris,
what they do have anacondas? Those things are horrifying. Have
you ever seen those before? What? What? Chris? That? I

(33:22):
thought you were going to strangle it? Chris, I can't
kill every wild animal with my hands. Okay. I know
you look up to me like a mentor, but there
are only a few cheetahs, beavers, things like that. Anaconda. No, sir, No, sir, Jesse.
I'd like you to spell out what our impending debt

(33:43):
crisis looks like to the average plebian like me. Maybe
it should be emphasized to our politicians that this issue
is a more important thing to us as a country
instead of a far off war one thousand miles away.
Paint a picture for us, please, of how the financial
blow wore impact us in a concrete way. Okay, so
let me do this. A debt crisis, A debt crisis,

(34:05):
A debt crisis. What does it look like? How much
money do you make a year? Cut it in half?
What's your standard of living look like? That's the most
simple way I can explain it. What happens during a
debt crisis is your standard of living drops dramatically as

(34:32):
the value of your money drops dramatically. Even now, remember
we know that one hundred thousand dollars of buying power
back in twenty twenty, you now need one hundred and
twenty four thousand dollars to match that. You No matter
what you make, whether it's twenty four thousand or or
two hundred and twenty four thousand, you know your standard

(34:55):
of living has gone down since COVID, hasn't it, and
it's not gone back up. You can afford everything you
used to be able to afford normal people who live
normal lives. I'll know this life has gotten more expensive. Okay,
that's a five year window. You've seen a twenty four
percent decrease in your standard of living. The goods and

(35:15):
services you are able to buy, Double that, triple that.
That's a debt crisis you will wake up with. However
much money you make, Let's say you make fifty thousand
dollars a year. I think that's pretty close to average.
But whatever you make doesn't matter. Let's say you make
fifty thousand dollars a year, you know you've been paying.

(35:36):
You make the power bill, you make the rent, you're
paying your car, take the old lady out to t
Bell every now and then, all of a sudden, you
can't afford Tbell anymore. You're wondering, you're looking, you're wondering.
Wait a minute, I can't afford insurance now. The insurance
costs have gone up. I think we're going to have
to move out of our apartment. The debt crisis, when

(35:58):
it gets here, will result in a sudden drop in
everyone's standard of living. It's unavoidable everyone's stand of living,
and no one will escape it. Of course, if you're
super wealthy, it won't be as bad when you have
to go from living on five million a year to
essentially living on three million a year. I don't expect

(36:20):
you to cry for anybody who makes that kind of money,
but it'll go down but for normal people, for rich people,
it'll be fewer vacations. For normal people, you have to
move back in with your mother, your car gets repolled,
you have to take a second job. We look around
and we don't appreciate because we've never experienced this. We

(36:42):
look around and we don't appreciate the fact that our
standard of living is so high that it is slowly
but surely going down, down, down, and no one wants
to stop it. What I just said, this is why
I'm not going to waste any time on it. I'm
going to move on. It will never up. Republicans don't
want to cut a dime. Democrats, of course, don't want

(37:04):
to cut a dime. They all just want to keep
spending here and spending that. I want to do things,
and we need this, and we need that, and we
need this and we need that. Well, we can't cut here,
and we certainly can't cut there, and they're gonna keep
playing that we can't cut here. We can't cut their
game until every single one of us we look around
and we say, when did I get poor? I can't

(37:25):
afford life now. A debt crisis means for you, your standard
of living drops in ways you can't imagine. You might
have to give up your health insurance. That's the way
it goes. It falls on deaf ears every time I
bring it up. Falls on deaf ears, is what it is.
I'm gonna talk about something better. You know, we're gonna

(37:46):
need free things after the debt crisis nobody's gonna be
able to afford any kind of an education, so we'll
definitely need Hillsdale. Then Hillsdale College. They've been educating young
minds for a very long time and wherever they can.
This is what I've always loved. They give out as
much free wisdom as they possibly can. They have all

(38:08):
these online courses. That's a big thing now. Hillsdale College
is offering more than forty of those online courses no cost.
Whatever interests you, ancient history, American history, the Constitution, the Bible,

(38:28):
whatever piques your interest, Hillsdale College has something for you.
Just go look at what they have. Go to Hillsdale
dot edu slash Jesse, because that's how you get it
for no cost. Look at what they have. You will
find something you can enjoy by yourself, with your family.
Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse. One more hour, we'll be

(38:52):
