Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Monday. And
it is such a great, glorious Monday. Aren't you excited
(00:31):
to start the work week? I know, I am, I mean,
I know. Rody one day done with it. Actually, we
had a big piece meeting today. Obviously, we'll talk about
that quite a bit tonight to open up the show.
Then we're moving on. We have to go all kinds
of different places. James Colemy, he put out a piece
of video that gives me the willie's just thinking about it.
(00:52):
We'll talk about that. We're gonna talk about flying bombers
over the heads of foreign heads of state, trying to
eliminate your food supply, why they're going after the girls, scouts,
Karen Bass got a little too honest. We'll chop through
a bunch of emails. Democrats remain evil. All that and
so much more coming up tonight on the world famous
(01:15):
Jesse Kelly Show. And of course an hour from now
is Medal of Honor Monday, and that's always a good time. Now,
before we get there to the rest of the show,
let's go ahead and tackle the big news of the day.
Trump meets at the White House with Selensky. You remember
(01:36):
last week Donald Trump flew to Alaska, Vladimir Putin flew
to Alaska. They had the big meeting. It went okay.
Today Zelensky meets Trump at the White House. It does okay,
it went fine. Now I need to clarify where I'm
at here before we keep going, because here's what's going on.
(02:03):
There are four different entities involved in all this, four
not one, four, and there are four different motivations. There's
the United States of America, there are European powers outside
of Ukraine. There's Ukraine, and then there's Russia. What has
(02:24):
happened is and this is just how it always goes
when it comes to war, especially when wars expand what
has happened is, over the years this war has gone on,
those four entities have settled in. I'll put it that way.
They've settled in. I'm not saying everyone's thrilled, but everyone
(02:49):
has kind of gotten used to this being the way
it is. It's what happens during wars. Yes, countries wear
down and they get fatigued and they want things to end.
There's no question about that. But here's the problem, and
this is going to be a big point of concern tonight.
The problem is the people making the decision to end
(03:14):
it or continue it are not necessarily people who have
suffered from it on any side. And this is what
makes war so so terrible. It's why I've yelled over
and over and over again that I have a huge
problem sending a country off to war if you're a
(03:36):
leader of that country, if you or someone you know
close to you is not physically in danger. I don't
mean you're a US senator and you vote to send
in the troops and your son chooses a job sorting
through the mail back at a perfectly safe base in
(03:57):
a war zone. I mean you're out beyond the wire
with bullets getting shot at you. That makes you invested.
This is the problem with the way the world is
structured now. That is not the way leaders of nations
think anymore. Wars are for the poors, Wars are for
other people. I am too important. I don't need to
(04:19):
do anything. My family. We matter too much. We're too important,
we have a lot of money. We won't go. That
is devastating. So let's look at the four different entities
in the United States of America. Let's start right here
at home in the United States of America. The defense
industry itself is enormous. Remember when Donald Trump announced a
(04:45):
trillion dollar budget for the military this year. You know
how unbelievably over the top that is, not just compared
to other countries around the world today, adjusting for inflation
and all that. How way over the top that is historically.
(05:08):
But what's that trillion dollars go to. It's not all
soldier pay in better base housing, now, is it. The
trillion dollars It gets filtered to a lot of different places.
They take it from me, they take it from you,
and it goes to the defense industry. The defense industry
will wash a bunch of it and send it right
back to the politician. So, if you're an American politician,
(05:32):
let's say you're Linda Graham and you just left the
thunder from down Under concert, what is your motivation to
end it? Lindsey Graham is out there all the time
every other day giving a speech about how Putin's a
war criminal, and I want this thing to go on forever.
And okay, I got all that. Who do you know
(05:56):
who's gonna die in that war, lindsay nobody. What does
it hurt Lindsey If that war continues until every Russian
and every Ukrainian is dead, what does it hurt him?
Not one? Teaint sy weinsy little bit. He's an elected
senator from the state of South Carolina, takes in gobs
(06:16):
of defense industry money. In Lindsey's mind, why not send
it on forever. I'm not personally at risk. Okay, so
you get that. That's the American side of it. The
European side of it. Speaking of having quote settled in
what month is it August? I know we're all suffering
because summer sucks. It does suck, Chris, August sucks. Summer sucks,
(06:41):
It's miserable and it's hot, but winter comes. Winter comes
every year. Guests who has destroyed their own energy sector
because of their insane climate commy policies Europe. Europe has
destroyed their energy sector. If you want an eye popping stat,
(07:04):
go look at the energy bills, the bills for energy
consumption normal people pay in European countries. I'm sure you
complain about your power bill, just like I complain about
my power bill. I'm officially the old man yelling at
his kids all the time about turning the lights off
in the house and not leaving the door open in
(07:24):
the summertime. We're not cooling the outside. I actually yelled
at at my youngest son yesterday. So I'm that guy.
You're mad about your power bill, I'm mad about mine.
It's pennies on the dollar compared to what they pay
in Europe because they went to all windmills and solar
panels and a bunch of crap that don't work well.
If you don't want people freezing to death in their homes,
they still need power. So if you're Europe, how can
(07:47):
you get such power cheap Russian gas? In part why
is Russian gas so cheap because of the wolf. So
if you're let's say you're one of the leaders of Germany, France,
(08:08):
one of these political leader types. Wow, you have air conditioning,
you have central heat, you're eating steaks, you're flying on
private jets, five star hotels, nice suits, and probably more importantly,
your children. They're bouncing around the world on yachts. They
(08:30):
go to America for the university and then off to
Oxford for a couple of days. There's no bombs, no bullets,
no knives, no nothing, No drones coming for your children.
If you're European royalty, I'll just put it that way.
What is your motivation to end it? What is your
motivation to end it? Now that's two entities talk about Russia. Russia,
(08:57):
their economy sucks. Did you know that they just don't
have for their size a lot of natural resources. They're
completely mismanaged because they're run by a tyrant named Vladimir Putin.
And then there's no such thing as a centrally planned
economy that runs well. You can't do it. And so
they're young people, legions and legions of them are facing
(09:20):
a stagnant job market. To put it mildly, you know,
what's a great thing to do when people are unhappy,
focus their effort, in their rage on something else. It
doesn't hurt Vladimir Putin to send legions of angry young
Russian men to the front lines. Vladimir Putin, from what
(09:42):
we understand, remember you're always going to face lies, has
a pretty solid foothold on power in Russia. He's not
under threat. He's managed to kill virtually everybody who may
kick him out. And Vladimir Putin is winning. Remember, he
wanted parts of Ukraine. He wanted the Crimean Peninsula, he
(10:07):
wanted these parts of Ukraine, eastern Ukraine. Right now he
holds about fifteen percent of Ukraine. It's the fifteen percent
he wanted. Three years. Nobody's been able to get him
out of it. Why does he wanted to stop. We'll
finish with Ukraine and we'll continue on with what happened today,
(10:29):
and we'll move on to other things. Before we do that,
let's do something wonderful for our pets. We don't think
about getting our pets nutrition because we think their nutrition
is in the food we buy them, our dogs and
our cats especially, we think. We go into the pet store,
(10:51):
we buy the special blend. You get the best pet
food you can afford, don't you. Maybe you can't afford much,
Maybe you can afford the best, but you get the
best stuff you can afford. When you think, because you
paid as much as you could, you're getting better food.
You got a special blend, there's nothing special. Is your
dog food brown, then it sucks. If your dog's food
is brown, then it's dead. It doesn't matter how much
(11:11):
you paid for it. A lot or a little. Dead
things are brown they killed everything in it. Sprinkle Roughgreens
on your dog's food. Don't you don't you need vitamins
and minerals and omega oils and antioxidants, And don't you
see physical differences in yourself when you're eating well versus
(11:32):
fast food every meal? Your dog eats fast food every meal.
You wonder why they die at ten years old. Sprinkle
Rough Greens, America's number one dog supplement on your dog's food.
They have Melegreens for cats. Go to Roughgreens dot com.
Promo code Jesse or called two one four rough Doog.
(11:52):
We'll be back miss does catch up Jesse Kelly dot com.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday,
Gonna be Medal of Honor Monday about forty five minutes
from now. Right now, we're digging into kind of a
little bit of the background the four different entities who
(12:14):
have an interest in this Russia Ukraine war, America, Europe, Ukraine,
and Russia itself. Let's talk about Ukraine. We already covered Russia, Europe, America, Ukraine. Remember,
we're not necessarily talking about the people you and me,
normal people. We're talking about the leaders of these nations.
(12:34):
What are their motivations? Do they want things to continue?
Do they want things to end? Zelenski himself? Does Zelensky
want it to end? I don't know. And by the way,
I don't know. I don't know what's in his heart.
Maybe he is a tried and true patriot who loves
(12:58):
his country. He won's peace, he wants what's best for
his people. Maybe that's it. But did you know who
Zelensky was before Russia invaded? Everybody knows who I'm talking
about now, world famous, a millionaire, several times over, on
(13:21):
the cover of magazines, more world famous than you or
I will ever be. Has the war been bad for Zelensky?
He just came to Washington, d C. Let me ask
you something. Think he flew southwest like you did? Think
(13:42):
he was sitting there? Oh, I hope I get the
emergency exit seats. Obviously I understand he's a head of state.
But has it been bad for him? What happens when
the war ends? Trump? Trump brought up, you know, elections
today to his credit to.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Say, during the war, you can't have elections. So let
me just say three and a half years from now.
So you mean, if we happen to be in a
war with somebody, no more elections, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I wonder obviously he's making a joke. This is what
Dolenski said. Are you open to holding an election in
your country?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, of course we'll open for election.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yes, we have to do safety circumstances.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We need to work in the parliament because during the
war you can't have elections, but we can.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We can't do during the war you can't have elections.
What's he talking about. It's part of the disastrous Ukrainian
constitution that once martial law has been declared, you can't
have elections. Well, that begs the question, who declared martial
law Zelensky. Zelensky declared martial law. Now let me clarify.
(15:00):
It's understandable why he would declare martial law. Russia is
bombing Ukrainian civilians repeatedly, and so you declare martial law
so you can keep people off the streets and whatnot.
But it still comes back to the fact that you,
Zolenski declared martial law, and now that gives him the
freedom to say, hey, we have martial law, I'm not
(15:20):
allowed to have elections. But what would happen if they did?
And let me clarify, why do I call why do
I call Putin a tyrant? Why is he a tyrant?
I believe in the freedom of man. I believe man
should be free to choose who leads him. That's what
(15:44):
I believe. I do not believe in being a subject
or a slave or a servant. I believe man, all
men should be able to choose their leadership. Vladimir Putin
is a tyrant because he arrests imprisons, and, let's be honest,
kills his political opponents, thus taking away the choice from
the Russian people if they want someone different. He's taken
(16:07):
away that choice from them. Now, Zelensky, why do the
people of Ukraine not get a choice in who leads
their country? They're the ones dying, legions of men, dying,
conscripts being snatched off the streets, sent to the front
(16:28):
lines and being shot in the face, Mothers losing their sons,
wives losing their husbands, children without dad. I understand they've
been invaded and there's a war, even during a war.
In fact, I would argue during a war is the
most important time to have an election, because that's when
(16:49):
the people get to choose who is leading them? Are
they satisfied or dissatisfied with the people leading them? When
you spend elections, well, sorry, can't have an election. I'm
gonna have to stay president. It raises suspicions, suspicions about
(17:11):
whether or not you actually want the war to end.
If the war ends, martial law ends. If martial law ends,
it's time to have elections. If it's time to have elections,
maybe you're not President Zelenski anymore, Maybe you're just a
former head of state facing corruption charges. Do the four
(17:34):
entities involved here want it to end? And here's the rub.
The answer to that question has to be yes for
all four in order for it to end. If you
could argue, maybe Europe could be cut out, but that's
(17:55):
hard to believe. But if even one of the four says,
you know what, no, I want to keep going. Oh
remember what we say. One country can start a war,
but all the parties involved have to say yes to
end it. If there's even one no, the war continues. Ugly,
(18:18):
We'll do a couple more things on this than we
move on. I don't want to talk freaking Russia Ukraine
all day this foreign policy stuff bores me. Sometimes I
like to talk about America. That's why I like to
talk about Pure Talk, Baby, the company that hires Americans,
American jobs, American jobs, hire American We love saying that. Well,
let me ask you. Do you put your money where
(18:39):
your morals are? Do you seek out the companies that
do such things? Does Verizon AT and T and T
Mobile prioritize American jobs? The corporate world? We're about to
dig into the filth, the communist filth and the corporate
world here in just a little bit. Verizon AT and
T and T Mobile chose a side in this culture war?
(19:03):
Are you funding their side? Pure Talk has never fought
against you, fought against your culture, your country. Pure Talk
shares and promotes your values. Go give them your business
and you'll pay less. And they're on the same five
G network, So I'm not asking you to sacrifice service.
Dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly Pound
(19:29):
two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly, We'll be back. Jesse
Kelly returns. Next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday, A Medal of Honor Monday, which comes a
half hour from now. Just do a couple more things
on this and then we're gonna move on and discuss
other things. So Jewish producer Chris has money on his mind.
(19:52):
I guess we shouldn't be shocked, but he asked during
the break, He says, there's a lot of money in war,
isn't it. Well, this, this is the problem, and this
comes back to I discussed, and have discussed many times before,
that leaders, leaders who make the decision to march off
to war should always either be in physical danger themselves
(20:14):
or have loved ones close to them in physical danger.
And I'm not saying that because I want anybody hurt,
that I want any leader hurt, or I want any
loved ones hurt. But if you insulate you and yours
from any physical danger, then war is only good for leaders.
Did you realize that there's no better way historically to
(20:36):
make your popularity go up than by marching your country
off the war. It does not make you unpopular, It
makes you very popular. It fills the people with national pride,
with patriotism. And you know what else it allows you
to do. It allows you to point to anybody who's
your political opponent and make them an enemy of the state. Hey,
he's against me, he's against America. That's what it will
(21:00):
allows you to do. Leaders have always done this so
without any physical danger for you, your wife, your kids,
your uncle, without any physical danger for them. Why wouldn't
you love war? If you're a soulless monster without a
(21:20):
heart for the people, who cares? How many people die?
The only demotivating factor to continue wars is your son
might be next. That makes you a little bit more invested,
doesn't it quite a bit more invested. And it tells
you this if look, I have two sons. If I'm
(21:41):
the leader of America, which we all know is never
going to happen. If I'm the leader of America and
I say we have to go to war with China, Okay,
maybe you're looking at me a little skeptically. How much
do you believe in that? Well, I'm sending James and
Luke to the front lines. Now you know I believe
(22:01):
in it all the way. If you know we'd go
the Romney route and none of them managed to find
a military recruitment office while pushing for war everywhere, tells
you I don't think it's that important. I'm not I'm
willing to sacrifice your sons, just not mine. Well that's
very brave. That's very brave. Now, I don't want to
(22:22):
poo poo the entire thing at all. I'm really not
trying to do that. I remain extremely skeptical. But the
meeting with Putin apparently went well. The meeting with Zelenski
today went well. The meeting he had that big roundtable
you saw it earlier with all the European leaders. This
is a few hours ago, apparently went very well. They
were all lovey dovey. It looks like we're marching towards
(22:47):
what could be an end to it. If there's going
to be a date, well we'll call it Monday. It
won't be a week from now, trust me, but we'll
call it monday. If there's going to be a date
where there is an end to the fighting, then what
has already happened. Those would be the steps you would
take to get to that day on Monday. Meet with Putin,
come to an agreement, Meet with z Linsay, come to
(23:08):
an agreement. Europe signs on board again. You've got all
four entities in the room. It's just an ugly state
of affairs, and we will see what happens. I compliment
Donald Trump endlessly for trying to end it. I will
always despise Boris Johnson of the UK, who is largely
(23:29):
responsible for this entire thing. He is the one who
told Zelensky that he could defeat the Russians. He's the
one who really convinced the West to pour their heart
and soul into this. Now, so many Ukrainian and Russians
are dead because of that horrible lie. Meantime, Boris Johnson's
getting fat somewhere, fat and happy and living the life
of a king, after having pushed the death of about
(23:51):
one point two million people from estimates so far. No
matter what we are, where we are now, one thing
that we should keep in mind from now and then
we're moving on is the devil's in the details, right,
It's always in the details. Getting a divorce can sound
(24:12):
wonderful when he's a nightmare. She's a nightmare. It's a nightmare.
We're getting a divorce. We've both agreed to get a divorce.
We're gonna meet, we're gonna work things out, but we
are getting a divorce. We've agreed. Okay, sounds good. Wait
a minute, you can't have the dog. I want the dog.
The devil's in the details. Maybe you've heard this term
(24:34):
thrown about quite a bit by people who never expand
on it, the term being security guarantees.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
What guarantees do you need from President Trump to be
able to make a deal is in American troops, intelligent equipment?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
What is it really? What security guarantees do you need?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Everything? Security guarantees? Okay, Donald Trump is going to have
to offer if he wants to be the one who
brokers the end to this war, and clearly that's what
he wants, he is going to have to offer Zelenski
protection in exchange for the land that Zelensky will lose
(25:23):
or I shouldn't say we'll lose. We need to be
clear about this has lost. We keep speaking in terms
of Zelensky will have to give up, this, will have
to give up that. He doesn't have to give up anything.
He's already lost it. Who owns it? He took it
by force? And I know, I know, we all want
to live in this world where the age of conquest
(25:44):
is over. But the strong armies conquering weaker armies, strong
nations taking territory they want from weaker nations. We're past
all that we'll never be pasted all that, that's the
nature of man Putin because he's Putin marched his big
(26:05):
Russian army in there, and he took what he wanted. Now,
what's going to be asked is not for Zolensky to
give up land. What's going to be asked is that
Putin give up land. Putin is going to be asked
to give up land that he is taken by force.
What motivation does he have? Well, he's going to say
(26:27):
no NATO membership. They've said that today, Ukraine doesn't get
to join NATO. He's never going to agree to that.
Then why would Zelenski security guarantees? But what does that mean?
That probably means American troops. Well, here's this. He prepared
(26:50):
to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another
couple of years? Or are you going to agree to
redraw masks?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Thank you for your questions. So the first of all,
you know, we live.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
On our egic.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
He doesn't have those troops, so we'll need ours. I'm
not saying sending them to fight, but that means American bases,
or at least an American base and a significant one
in Ukraine missiles, what missiles and missile defense systems are
(27:23):
we going to want to bring into Ukraine? And what
is Russia going to be okay with? Remember remember this
and don't say I don't care, don't ever say that
about any entity. All four entities are going to have
a say, and they all four are going to have
to say yes. And Putin hate him all you want.
(27:43):
Putin is going to have veto power on this whole
peace agreement thing because he's the one still fighting the war.
So don't just say we'll give them everything, because at
some point in time, Putin's going to be all you're
not putting that on my border. No, we'll keep fighting.
I am skeptical, obviously, as you can tell, I am skeptical.
(28:05):
But we should be happy. We should be happy. Well, well,
it was true. If your team has talked about security guarantees,
could that involve US troops? Would you rull that out
in the future.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
We'll let you know that maybe later today. We're meeting
with seven great leaders of great countries also and we'll
be talking about that. They'll all be involved, but there'll
be a lot of uh, there'll be a lot of
help when it comes to security. There's going to be
a lot of help. It's going to be good. They
are the first line of defense because they're there. They're here,
(28:37):
but we're going to help them out. Also, we'll be involved.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I don't expect Donald Trump to spill the beans on
the details. He can't do that, especially not with our
evil media. But the devil's in the details. Whatever. Let's
hope they work it all out. Now, I'm done talking
about all this stuff. I want to move on to
other things. Before we do that, let's talk about saving
a baby. Let's save a baby's life. We just talked
about another death. It's horrible, isn't it. Over a million
(29:05):
lives lost, freaking horrible. What if we could save one
life tonight? All over the United States of America, babies
are still killed in mass thousands a day. And in
these Blue states it's legal. You can do it, and
it's easier than it's ever been because of the pill.
(29:25):
Did you know you can do a telehealth meeting and
the doctor will send a pill to your house. These
young girls are aborting their babies in their bathroom. Help preborn.
Save that baby and its mother from a lifetime of anguish.
Give that mom a free ultrasound so she can make
(29:45):
the right choice. There is no greater tool. And preborn
is tax deductible. Everyone's looking for that write off at
the end of the year. Whatever you give to preborn
tax deductible, preborn dot com slash Jesse preborn dot com
slash Jesse spotsor by preborn emails next. He doesn't care
(30:08):
if you believe him, but he's right, Jesse Kelly. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember if you'd like to email the show your love,
your hate, your death threats, your questions for Friday, all
those can be emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
(30:31):
I should touch on. Look, I didn't bring it up, said,
don't care. But we flew a bomber over Vladimir Putin
in Alaska when Trump met Putin. I'm sure you've already
seen it. We flew a bomber overhead. And of course
some people are drooling all over. That's the greatest thing.
(30:53):
And well this was CBS. Here's how they handled it.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Although it was presented as pops a show of power
by being at a US Force space with the fight
passing of the B fifty two s and other fighter jets.
It did certainly look much more like a show of
appreciation for Vladimir Putin, and so the optics were really
much more favorable to Putin than they were to the
United States.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It really looked like, yeah, look, I don't think that
intimidated Vladimir Putin. He's well aware of America's bomber capability.
It was cool to watch it, and it is one
of those standard shows of force that militaries have always used,
have always used them. Alexander the Great used to march
his army around in front of his in front of
(31:38):
his enemies, giving them strict orders, because it's intimidating to
watch groups of men march in time do the exact
same thing. It's intimidating in at the end of World
War Two, you know this story I told you before
on the USS Missouri, when the Japanese came to sign
their surrender documents, we not only chose the tallest marines
(32:00):
and sailors we could find to stand around them, so
we were towering over them. We took our B twenty
nine super fortresses and flew tons and tons of them
overhead as they were signing the documents. And remember that
may not mean anything to you or me. Those people,
the Japanese people on that ship. The B twenty nine
(32:21):
was Godzilla. The B twenty nine was the That was
the plane that leveled virtually every major Japanese city. They
lived in terror of those things. So I got it,
it was done, I got it. Whatever, let's do some memurals.
Dear Bronco. My great grandfather was a bar gunner in
Patten's third Army. Gosh, that's cool during the Allied drive
(32:42):
across Europe. He was highly conservative in an activist, but
somehow both his kids turned out to be Democrats. They
would complain that he was embarrassing the family when he
wrote letters to the editor about Obama. When he fell
and was sent to the hospital shortly before he died
in two thousand and fifteen, the nurse tried to check
his cognitive state by asking him who the president was.
(33:05):
He retorted, we don't have one. His wife explained that
he was just fine. Would you fire the bar for greape? Pop?
You bet? I saddens me. We're losing those old timers. Jesse.
I was cleaning up the garage and came across an
old newspaper from April twenty twenty. It was all about
(33:27):
George Floyd and all the riots and how many people
were dying from COVID nineteen. It just made me very
sad about how messed up we are and we're forced
to believe the complete media scam. It's fine to it's
fine to lament what happened during America during to us
during that time. But and I do, and I do.
(33:50):
It's fine to lament that, but remember that it was
It wasn't. It wasn't that COVID or the George Floyd
stuff caused us to lose our minds. It was that
COVID and the George Floyd stuff revealed that we already had.
(34:13):
You know, It's like if you get up from your
desk and you walk twenty feet across the hall and
you're out of breath from that twenty feet. It wasn't
the walk that got you out of shape. You're out
of shape. The walk revealed that you're out of shape.
It's a revelation. But that revelation can save your life,
(34:35):
can't it. You walk to the kitchen and you're out
of breath, Rather, you better start working out. No, no,
just you better start going on more walks, you better
start eating less. That's your body saying I'm dying here.
It showed who we are as a country, that we
could succumb to media propaganda that easily. It showed who
(34:58):
we are now as a country, that we would succumb
to tyranny that easily. And it showed who the GOP is. Remember,
we like to imagine because Democrats are evil, demonic communists,
we like to imagine the GOP is the opposite, right,
(35:18):
they're the bad guys, were the good guys, but elected
Republican after elected Republican after elected Republican went right along
with what the system was saying. During COVID, very very
few had the guts to stand up and say no, no,
that's wrong. No, this is a free country. No, we're
(35:42):
not going to shut this down. We're not going to
shut that down. We're not going to do this. Very
very few of our air fingers quote leaders proved to
be so. What it showed us was politicians, most people
in the media and several others are cheap. They're followers.
(36:04):
They don't want to be yelled at, they don't want
to buck the trends. They want to say what everyone
else is saying because it's safe and it's nice and easy.
And I know that hurts to look back on that,
but I will emphasize again that COVID for me was
the great sorting. I sifted and sorted through the people
(36:27):
in my life. That's people in my personal life, people
who I pay attention to, maybe people I read or
watch or listen to. Politicians. COVID showed you who people were.
It showed you who people really were. How many people
we'll set politicians aside. How many people in the right
(36:50):
wing media sphere, podcast and radio and TV and things
like that sit here behind the microphone every day and
talk to you about freedomness and freedom that and freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
this freedom that you make sure you're free. Why aren't
you taking a shot? All the doctors agree, Hey, go
home and shut down your business. It's just two weeks.
(37:12):
Quit being selfish. How many freedom lovers turned out to
hate it when it got real, real, convenient something to
keep in mind. Showed you what people really believed. A
good point, Chris, It was a little lonely around here
in about April of twenty twenty, all right, enough of this.
It's do Medal of Honor Monday. We'll make fun of
(37:35):
James Comy. I don't know that I've been this creeped
out very many times. Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Monday. And
it is such a great, glorious Monday. Aren't you excited
(00:31):
to start the work week? I know, I am, I mean,
I know. Rody one day done with it. Actually, we
had a big piece meeting today. Obviously, we'll talk about
that quite a bit tonight to open up the show.
Then we're moving on. We have to go all kinds
of different places. James Colemy, he put out a piece
of video that gives me the willie's just thinking about it.
(00:52):
We'll talk about that. We're gonna talk about flying bombers
over the heads of foreign heads of state, trying to
eliminate your food supply, why they're going after the girls, scouts,
Karen Bass got a little too honest. We'll chop through
a bunch of emails. Democrats remain evil. All that and
so much more coming up tonight on the world famous
(01:15):
Jesse Kelly Show. And of course an hour from now
is Medal of Honor Monday, and that's always a good time. Now,
before we get there to the rest of the show,
let's go ahead and tackle the big news of the day.
Trump meets at the White House with Selensky. You remember
(01:36):
last week Donald Trump flew to Alaska, Vladimir Putin flew
to Alaska. They had the big meeting. It went okay.
Today Zelensky meets Trump at the White House. It does okay,
it went fine. Now I need to clarify where I'm
at here before we keep going, because here's what's going on.
(02:03):
There are four different entities involved in all this, four
not one, four, and there are four different motivations. There's
the United States of America, there are European powers outside
of Ukraine. There's Ukraine, and then there's Russia. What has
(02:24):
happened is and this is just how it always goes
when it comes to war, especially when wars expand what
has happened is, over the years this war has gone on,
those four entities have settled in. I'll put it that way.
They've settled in. I'm not saying everyone's thrilled, but everyone
(02:49):
has kind of gotten used to this being the way
it is. It's what happens during wars. Yes, countries wear
down and they get fatigued and they want things to end.
There's no question about that. But here's the problem, and
this is going to be a big point of concern tonight.
The problem is the people making the decision to end
(03:14):
it or continue it are not necessarily people who have
suffered from it on any side. And this is what
makes war so so terrible. It's why I've yelled over
and over and over again that I have a huge
problem sending a country off to war if you're a
(03:36):
leader of that country, if you or someone you know
close to you is not physically in danger. I don't
mean you're a US senator and you vote to send
in the troops and your son chooses a job sorting
through the mail back at a perfectly safe base in
(03:57):
a war zone. I mean you're out beyond the wire
with bullets getting shot at you. That makes you invested.
This is the problem with the way the world is
structured now. That is not the way leaders of nations
think anymore. Wars are for the poors, Wars are for
other people. I am too important. I don't need to
(04:19):
do anything. My family. We matter too much. We're too important,
we have a lot of money. We won't go. That
is devastating. So let's look at the four different entities
in the United States of America. Let's start right here
at home in the United States of America. The defense
industry itself is enormous. Remember when Donald Trump announced a
(04:45):
trillion dollar budget for the military this year. You know
how unbelievably over the top that is, not just compared
to other countries around the world today, adjusting for inflation
and all that. How way over the top that is historically.
(05:08):
But what's that trillion dollars go to. It's not all
soldier pay in better base housing, now, is it. The
trillion dollars It gets filtered to a lot of different places.
They take it from me, they take it from you,
and it goes to the defense industry. The defense industry
will wash a bunch of it and send it right
back to the politician. So, if you're an American politician,
(05:32):
let's say you're Linda Graham and you just left the
thunder from down Under concert, what is your motivation to
end it? Lindsey Graham is out there all the time
every other day giving a speech about how Putin's a
war criminal, and I want this thing to go on forever.
And okay, I got all that. Who do you know
(05:56):
who's gonna die in that war, lindsay nobody. What does
it hurt Lindsey If that war continues until every Russian
and every Ukrainian is dead, what does it hurt him?
Not one? Teaint sy weinsy little bit. He's an elected
senator from the state of South Carolina, takes in gobs
(06:16):
of defense industry money. In Lindsey's mind, why not send
it on forever. I'm not personally at risk. Okay, so
you get that. That's the American side of it. The
European side of it. Speaking of having quote settled in
what month is it August? I know we're all suffering
because summer sucks. It does suck, Chris, August sucks. Summer sucks,
(06:41):
It's miserable and it's hot, but winter comes. Winter comes
every year. Guests who has destroyed their own energy sector
because of their insane climate commy policies Europe. Europe has
destroyed their energy sector. If you want an eye popping stat,
(07:04):
go look at the energy bills, the bills for energy
consumption normal people pay in European countries. I'm sure you
complain about your power bill, just like I complain about
my power bill. I'm officially the old man yelling at
his kids all the time about turning the lights off
in the house and not leaving the door open in
(07:24):
the summertime. We're not cooling the outside. I actually yelled
at at my youngest son yesterday. So I'm that guy.
You're mad about your power bill, I'm mad about mine.
It's pennies on the dollar compared to what they pay
in Europe because they went to all windmills and solar
panels and a bunch of crap that don't work well.
If you don't want people freezing to death in their homes,
they still need power. So if you're Europe, how can
(07:47):
you get such power cheap Russian gas? In part why
is Russian gas so cheap because of the wolf. So
if you're let's say you're one of the leaders of Germany, France,
(08:08):
one of these political leader types. Wow, you have air conditioning,
you have central heat, you're eating steaks, you're flying on
private jets, five star hotels, nice suits, and probably more importantly,
your children. They're bouncing around the world on yachts. They
(08:30):
go to America for the university and then off to
Oxford for a couple of days. There's no bombs, no bullets,
no knives, no nothing, No drones coming for your children.
If you're European royalty, I'll just put it that way.
What is your motivation to end it? What is your
motivation to end it? Now that's two entities talk about Russia. Russia,
(08:57):
their economy sucks. Did you know that they just don't
have for their size a lot of natural resources. They're
completely mismanaged because they're run by a tyrant named Vladimir Putin.
And then there's no such thing as a centrally planned
economy that runs well. You can't do it. And so
they're young people, legions and legions of them are facing
(09:20):
a stagnant job market. To put it mildly, you know,
what's a great thing to do when people are unhappy,
focus their effort, in their rage on something else. It
doesn't hurt Vladimir Putin to send legions of angry young
Russian men to the front lines. Vladimir Putin, from what
(09:42):
we understand, remember you're always going to face lies, has
a pretty solid foothold on power in Russia. He's not
under threat. He's managed to kill virtually everybody who may
kick him out. And Vladimir Putin is winning. Remember, he
wanted parts of Ukraine. He wanted the Crimean Peninsula, he
(10:07):
wanted these parts of Ukraine, eastern Ukraine. Right now he
holds about fifteen percent of Ukraine. It's the fifteen percent
he wanted. Three years. Nobody's been able to get him
out of it. Why does he wanted to stop. We'll
finish with Ukraine and we'll continue on with what happened today,
(10:29):
and we'll move on to other things. Before we do that,
let's do something wonderful for our pets. We don't think
about getting our pets nutrition because we think their nutrition
is in the food we buy them, our dogs and
our cats especially, we think. We go into the pet store,
(10:51):
we buy the special blend. You get the best pet
food you can afford, don't you. Maybe you can't afford much,
Maybe you can afford the best, but you get the
best stuff you can afford. When you think, because you
paid as much as you could, you're getting better food.
You got a special blend, there's nothing special. Is your
dog food brown, then it sucks. If your dog's food
is brown, then it's dead. It doesn't matter how much
(11:11):
you paid for it. A lot or a little. Dead
things are brown they killed everything in it. Sprinkle Roughgreens
on your dog's food. Don't you don't you need vitamins
and minerals and omega oils and antioxidants, And don't you
see physical differences in yourself when you're eating well versus
(11:32):
fast food every meal? Your dog eats fast food every meal.
You wonder why they die at ten years old. Sprinkle
Rough Greens, America's number one dog supplement on your dog's food.
They have Melegreens for cats. Go to Roughgreens dot com.
Promo code Jesse or called two one four rough Doog.
(11:52):
We'll be back miss does catch up Jesse Kelly dot com.
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday,
Gonna be Medal of Honor Monday about forty five minutes
from now. Right now, we're digging into kind of a
little bit of the background the four different entities who
(12:14):
have an interest in this Russia Ukraine war, America, Europe, Ukraine,
and Russia itself. Let's talk about Ukraine. We already covered Russia, Europe, America, Ukraine. Remember,
we're not necessarily talking about the people you and me,
normal people. We're talking about the leaders of these nations.
(12:34):
What are their motivations? Do they want things to continue?
Do they want things to end? Zelenski himself? Does Zelensky
want it to end? I don't know. And by the way,
I don't know. I don't know what's in his heart.
Maybe he is a tried and true patriot who loves
(12:58):
his country. He won's peace, he wants what's best for
his people. Maybe that's it. But did you know who
Zelensky was before Russia invaded? Everybody knows who I'm talking
about now, world famous, a millionaire, several times over, on
(13:21):
the cover of magazines, more world famous than you or
I will ever be. Has the war been bad for Zelensky?
He just came to Washington, d C. Let me ask
you something. Think he flew southwest like you did? Think
(13:42):
he was sitting there? Oh, I hope I get the
emergency exit seats. Obviously I understand he's a head of state.
But has it been bad for him? What happens when
the war ends? Trump? Trump brought up, you know, elections
today to his credit to.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Say, during the war, you can't have elections. So let
me just say three and a half years from now.
So you mean, if we happen to be in a
war with somebody, no more elections, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I wonder obviously he's making a joke. This is what
Dolenski said. Are you open to holding an election in
your country?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, of course we'll open for election.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yes, we have to do safety circumstances.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We need to work in the parliament because during the
war you can't have elections, but we can.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We can't do during the war you can't have elections.
What's he talking about. It's part of the disastrous Ukrainian
constitution that once martial law has been declared, you can't
have elections. Well, that begs the question, who declared martial
law Zelensky. Zelensky declared martial law. Now let me clarify.
(15:00):
It's understandable why he would declare martial law. Russia is
bombing Ukrainian civilians repeatedly, and so you declare martial law
so you can keep people off the streets and whatnot.
But it still comes back to the fact that you,
Zolenski declared martial law, and now that gives him the
freedom to say, hey, we have martial law, I'm not
(15:20):
allowed to have elections. But what would happen if they did?
And let me clarify, why do I call why do
I call Putin a tyrant? Why is he a tyrant?
I believe in the freedom of man. I believe man
should be free to choose who leads him. That's what
(15:44):
I believe. I do not believe in being a subject
or a slave or a servant. I believe man, all
men should be able to choose their leadership. Vladimir Putin
is a tyrant because he arrests imprisons, and, let's be honest,
kills his political opponents, thus taking away the choice from
the Russian people if they want someone different. He's taken
(16:07):
away that choice from them. Now, Zelensky, why do the
people of Ukraine not get a choice in who leads
their country? They're the ones dying, legions of men, dying,
conscripts being snatched off the streets, sent to the front
(16:28):
lines and being shot in the face, Mothers losing their sons,
wives losing their husbands, children without dad. I understand they've
been invaded and there's a war, even during a war.
In fact, I would argue during a war is the
most important time to have an election, because that's when
(16:49):
the people get to choose who is leading them? Are
they satisfied or dissatisfied with the people leading them? When
you spend elections, well, sorry, can't have an election. I'm
gonna have to stay president. It raises suspicions, suspicions about
(17:11):
whether or not you actually want the war to end.
If the war ends, martial law ends. If martial law ends,
it's time to have elections. If it's time to have elections,
maybe you're not President Zelenski anymore, Maybe you're just a
former head of state facing corruption charges. Do the four
(17:34):
entities involved here want it to end? And here's the rub.
The answer to that question has to be yes for
all four in order for it to end. If you
could argue, maybe Europe could be cut out, but that's
(17:55):
hard to believe. But if even one of the four says,
you know what, no, I want to keep going. Oh
remember what we say. One country can start a war,
but all the parties involved have to say yes to
end it. If there's even one no, the war continues. Ugly,
(18:18):
We'll do a couple more things on this than we
move on. I don't want to talk freaking Russia Ukraine
all day this foreign policy stuff bores me. Sometimes I
like to talk about America. That's why I like to
talk about Pure Talk, Baby, the company that hires Americans,
American jobs, American jobs, hire American We love saying that. Well,
let me ask you. Do you put your money where
(18:39):
your morals are? Do you seek out the companies that
do such things? Does Verizon AT and T and T
Mobile prioritize American jobs? The corporate world? We're about to
dig into the filth, the communist filth and the corporate
world here in just a little bit. Verizon AT and
T and T Mobile chose a side in this culture war?
(19:03):
Are you funding their side? Pure Talk has never fought
against you, fought against your culture, your country. Pure Talk
shares and promotes your values. Go give them your business
and you'll pay less. And they're on the same five
G network, So I'm not asking you to sacrifice service.
Dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly Pound
(19:29):
two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly, We'll be back. Jesse
Kelly returns. Next. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday, A Medal of Honor Monday, which comes a
half hour from now. Just do a couple more things
on this and then we're gonna move on and discuss
other things. So Jewish producer Chris has money on his mind.
(19:52):
I guess we shouldn't be shocked, but he asked during
the break, He says, there's a lot of money in war,
isn't it. Well, this, this is the problem, and this
comes back to I discussed, and have discussed many times before,
that leaders, leaders who make the decision to march off
to war should always either be in physical danger themselves
(20:14):
or have loved ones close to them in physical danger.
And I'm not saying that because I want anybody hurt,
that I want any leader hurt, or I want any
loved ones hurt. But if you insulate you and yours
from any physical danger, then war is only good for leaders.
Did you realize that there's no better way historically to
(20:36):
make your popularity go up than by marching your country
off the war. It does not make you unpopular, It
makes you very popular. It fills the people with national pride,
with patriotism. And you know what else it allows you
to do. It allows you to point to anybody who's
your political opponent and make them an enemy of the state. Hey,
he's against me, he's against America. That's what it will
(21:00):
allows you to do. Leaders have always done this so
without any physical danger for you, your wife, your kids,
your uncle, without any physical danger for them. Why wouldn't
you love war? If you're a soulless monster without a
(21:20):
heart for the people, who cares? How many people die?
The only demotivating factor to continue wars is your son
might be next. That makes you a little bit more invested,
doesn't it quite a bit more invested. And it tells
you this if look, I have two sons. If I'm
(21:41):
the leader of America, which we all know is never
going to happen. If I'm the leader of America and
I say we have to go to war with China, Okay,
maybe you're looking at me a little skeptically. How much
do you believe in that? Well, I'm sending James and
Luke to the front lines. Now you know I believe
(22:01):
in it all the way. If you know we'd go
the Romney route and none of them managed to find
a military recruitment office while pushing for war everywhere, tells
you I don't think it's that important. I'm not I'm
willing to sacrifice your sons, just not mine. Well that's
very brave. That's very brave. Now, I don't want to
(22:22):
poo poo the entire thing at all. I'm really not
trying to do that. I remain extremely skeptical. But the
meeting with Putin apparently went well. The meeting with Zelenski
today went well. The meeting he had that big roundtable
you saw it earlier with all the European leaders. This
is a few hours ago, apparently went very well. They
were all lovey dovey. It looks like we're marching towards
(22:47):
what could be an end to it. If there's going
to be a date, well we'll call it Monday. It
won't be a week from now, trust me, but we'll
call it monday. If there's going to be a date
where there is an end to the fighting, then what
has already happened. Those would be the steps you would
take to get to that day on Monday. Meet with Putin,
come to an agreement, Meet with z Linsay, come to
(23:08):
an agreement. Europe signs on board again. You've got all
four entities in the room. It's just an ugly state
of affairs, and we will see what happens. I compliment
Donald Trump endlessly for trying to end it. I will
always despise Boris Johnson of the UK, who is largely
(23:29):
responsible for this entire thing. He is the one who
told Zelensky that he could defeat the Russians. He's the
one who really convinced the West to pour their heart
and soul into this. Now, so many Ukrainian and Russians
are dead because of that horrible lie. Meantime, Boris Johnson's
getting fat somewhere, fat and happy and living the life
of a king, after having pushed the death of about
(23:51):
one point two million people from estimates so far. No
matter what we are, where we are now, one thing
that we should keep in mind from now and then
we're moving on is the devil's in the details, right,
It's always in the details. Getting a divorce can sound
(24:12):
wonderful when he's a nightmare. She's a nightmare. It's a nightmare.
We're getting a divorce. We've both agreed to get a divorce.
We're gonna meet, we're gonna work things out, but we
are getting a divorce. We've agreed. Okay, sounds good. Wait
a minute, you can't have the dog. I want the dog.
The devil's in the details. Maybe you've heard this term
(24:34):
thrown about quite a bit by people who never expand
on it, the term being security guarantees.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
What guarantees do you need from President Trump to be
able to make a deal is in American troops, intelligent equipment?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
What is it really? What security guarantees do you need?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Everything? Security guarantees? Okay, Donald Trump is going to have
to offer if he wants to be the one who
brokers the end to this war, and clearly that's what
he wants, he is going to have to offer Zelenski
protection in exchange for the land that Zelensky will lose
(25:23):
or I shouldn't say we'll lose. We need to be
clear about this has lost. We keep speaking in terms
of Zelensky will have to give up, this, will have
to give up that. He doesn't have to give up anything.
He's already lost it. Who owns it? He took it
by force? And I know, I know, we all want
to live in this world where the age of conquest
(25:44):
is over. But the strong armies conquering weaker armies, strong
nations taking territory they want from weaker nations. We're past
all that we'll never be pasted all that, that's the
nature of man Putin because he's Putin marched his big
(26:05):
Russian army in there, and he took what he wanted. Now,
what's going to be asked is not for Zolensky to
give up land. What's going to be asked is that
Putin give up land. Putin is going to be asked
to give up land that he is taken by force.
What motivation does he have? Well, he's going to say
(26:27):
no NATO membership. They've said that today, Ukraine doesn't get
to join NATO. He's never going to agree to that.
Then why would Zelenski security guarantees? But what does that mean?
That probably means American troops. Well, here's this. He prepared
(26:50):
to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another
couple of years? Or are you going to agree to
redraw masks?
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Thank you for your questions. So the first of all,
you know, we live.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
On our egic.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
He doesn't have those troops, so we'll need ours. I'm
not saying sending them to fight, but that means American bases,
or at least an American base and a significant one
in Ukraine missiles, what missiles and missile defense systems are
(27:23):
we going to want to bring into Ukraine? And what
is Russia going to be okay with? Remember remember this
and don't say I don't care, don't ever say that
about any entity. All four entities are going to have
a say, and they all four are going to have
to say yes. And Putin hate him all you want.
(27:43):
Putin is going to have veto power on this whole
peace agreement thing because he's the one still fighting the war.
So don't just say we'll give them everything, because at
some point in time, Putin's going to be all you're
not putting that on my border. No, we'll keep fighting.
I am skeptical, obviously, as you can tell, I am skeptical.
(28:05):
But we should be happy. We should be happy. Well, well,
it was true. If your team has talked about security guarantees,
could that involve US troops? Would you rull that out
in the future.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
We'll let you know that maybe later today. We're meeting
with seven great leaders of great countries also and we'll
be talking about that. They'll all be involved, but there'll
be a lot of uh, there'll be a lot of
help when it comes to security. There's going to be
a lot of help. It's going to be good. They
are the first line of defense because they're there. They're here,
(28:37):
but we're going to help them out. Also, we'll be involved.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I don't expect Donald Trump to spill the beans on
the details. He can't do that, especially not with our
evil media. But the devil's in the details. Whatever. Let's
hope they work it all out. Now, I'm done talking
about all this stuff. I want to move on to
other things. Before we do that, let's talk about saving
a baby. Let's save a baby's life. We just talked
about another death. It's horrible, isn't it. Over a million
(29:05):
lives lost, freaking horrible. What if we could save one
life tonight? All over the United States of America, babies
are still killed in mass thousands a day. And in
these Blue states it's legal. You can do it, and
it's easier than it's ever been because of the pill.
(29:25):
Did you know you can do a telehealth meeting and
the doctor will send a pill to your house. These
young girls are aborting their babies in their bathroom. Help preborn.
Save that baby and its mother from a lifetime of anguish.
Give that mom a free ultrasound so she can make
(29:45):
the right choice. There is no greater tool. And preborn
is tax deductible. Everyone's looking for that write off at
the end of the year. Whatever you give to preborn
tax deductible, preborn dot com slash Jesse preborn dot com
slash Jesse spotsor by preborn emails next. He doesn't care
(30:08):
if you believe him, but he's right, Jesse Kelly. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday.
Remember if you'd like to email the show your love,
your hate, your death threats, your questions for Friday, all
those can be emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
(30:31):
I should touch on. Look, I didn't bring it up, said,
don't care. But we flew a bomber over Vladimir Putin
in Alaska when Trump met Putin. I'm sure you've already
seen it. We flew a bomber overhead. And of course
some people are drooling all over. That's the greatest thing.
(30:53):
And well this was CBS. Here's how they handled it.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Although it was presented as pops a show of power
by being at a US Force space with the fight
passing of the B fifty two s and other fighter jets.
It did certainly look much more like a show of
appreciation for Vladimir Putin, and so the optics were really
much more favorable to Putin than they were to the
United States.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
It really looked like, yeah, look, I don't think that
intimidated Vladimir Putin. He's well aware of America's bomber capability.
It was cool to watch it, and it is one
of those standard shows of force that militaries have always used,
have always used them. Alexander the Great used to march
his army around in front of his in front of
(31:38):
his enemies, giving them strict orders, because it's intimidating to
watch groups of men march in time do the exact
same thing. It's intimidating in at the end of World
War Two, you know this story I told you before
on the USS Missouri, when the Japanese came to sign
their surrender documents, we not only chose the tallest marines
(32:00):
and sailors we could find to stand around them, so
we were towering over them. We took our B twenty
nine super fortresses and flew tons and tons of them
overhead as they were signing the documents. And remember that
may not mean anything to you or me. Those people,
the Japanese people on that ship. The B twenty nine
(32:21):
was Godzilla. The B twenty nine was the That was
the plane that leveled virtually every major Japanese city. They
lived in terror of those things. So I got it,
it was done, I got it. Whatever, let's do some memurals.
Dear Bronco. My great grandfather was a bar gunner in
Patten's third Army. Gosh, that's cool during the Allied drive
(32:42):
across Europe. He was highly conservative in an activist, but
somehow both his kids turned out to be Democrats. They
would complain that he was embarrassing the family when he
wrote letters to the editor about Obama. When he fell
and was sent to the hospital shortly before he died
in two thousand and fifteen, the nurse tried to check
his cognitive state by asking him who the president was.
(33:05):
He retorted, we don't have one. His wife explained that
he was just fine. Would you fire the bar for greape? Pop?
You bet? I saddens me. We're losing those old timers. Jesse.
I was cleaning up the garage and came across an
old newspaper from April twenty twenty. It was all about
(33:27):
George Floyd and all the riots and how many people
were dying from COVID nineteen. It just made me very
sad about how messed up we are and we're forced
to believe the complete media scam. It's fine to it's
fine to lament what happened during America during to us
during that time. But and I do, and I do.
(33:50):
It's fine to lament that, but remember that it was
It wasn't. It wasn't that COVID or the George Floyd
stuff caused us to lose our minds. It was that
COVID and the George Floyd stuff revealed that we already had.
(34:13):
You know, It's like if you get up from your
desk and you walk twenty feet across the hall and
you're out of breath from that twenty feet. It wasn't
the walk that got you out of shape. You're out
of shape. The walk revealed that you're out of shape.
It's a revelation. But that revelation can save your life,
(34:35):
can't it. You walk to the kitchen and you're out
of breath, Rather, you better start working out. No, no,
just you better start going on more walks, you better
start eating less. That's your body saying I'm dying here.
It showed who we are as a country, that we
could succumb to media propaganda that easily. It showed who
(34:58):
we are now as a country, that we would succumb
to tyranny that easily. And it showed who the GOP is. Remember,
we like to imagine because Democrats are evil, demonic communists,
we like to imagine the GOP is the opposite, right,
(35:18):
they're the bad guys, were the good guys, but elected
Republican after elected Republican after elected Republican went right along
with what the system was saying. During COVID, very very
few had the guts to stand up and say no, no,
that's wrong. No, this is a free country. No, we're
(35:42):
not going to shut this down. We're not going to
shut that down. We're not going to do this. Very
very few of our air fingers quote leaders proved to
be so. What it showed us was politicians, most people
in the media and several others are cheap. They're followers.
(36:04):
They don't want to be yelled at, they don't want
to buck the trends. They want to say what everyone
else is saying because it's safe and it's nice and easy.
And I know that hurts to look back on that,
but I will emphasize again that COVID for me was
the great sorting. I sifted and sorted through the people
(36:27):
in my life. That's people in my personal life, people
who I pay attention to, maybe people I read or
watch or listen to. Politicians. COVID showed you who people were.
It showed you who people really were. How many people
we'll set politicians aside. How many people in the right
(36:50):
wing media sphere, podcast and radio and TV and things
like that sit here behind the microphone every day and
talk to you about freedomness and freedom that and freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom,
this freedom that you make sure you're free. Why aren't
you taking a shot? All the doctors agree, Hey, go
home and shut down your business. It's just two weeks.
(37:12):
Quit being selfish. How many freedom lovers turned out to
hate it when it got real, real, convenient something to
keep in mind. Showed you what people really believed. A
good point, Chris, It was a little lonely around here
in about April of twenty twenty, all right, enough of this.
It's do Medal of Honor Monday. We'll make fun of
(37:35):
James Comy. I don't know that I've been this creeped
out very many times. Hang on,
