This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding
you you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We'll get
to Merrick Garland and the DOJ in just a second.
(00:33):
I'm sorry, I have to play this for you. I
just can't. I can't stop laughing. I'm gonna play something
for you. It's a local news story where they found
some dude, some black dude. He's a farmer. He was
the guy who heard the F thirty five crash. And
(00:53):
I need to give you a heads up. We did
not come up with this for radio. This is not
a hardy This is not us doing a bit. This
is not me screwing around doing bad sound effects. Chris,
if you wouldn't mind, would you please play the gentleman
who definitely heard the plane go down.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Normally it's pretty quiet, but on Sunday afternoon, I was in.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
The uh in the bathroom taking a shave and I heard.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Us a screeching saw that between a screech and a whistle.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I said, what in the whorl of this?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And I heard a boom in my whole house show,
White says he didn't realize it was a plane at
the time.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Okay, Chris, you can shut it off.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I love that car. All right, quick, we have to
talk about how we're totally screwed. Let's let's I want
you to imagine something. I want you to imagine. You
hire me, You hire me and fifty of my friends.
What's our job. We are going to protect you. That's
(02:00):
what you hire me to do. We are your personal
security service, me, fifty of my buddies. We have committed
that we will keep you safe. That's what you hire
us for. And then I want you to imagine this.
I want you to imagine one day, this angry mob
forms in your front yard and you're so scared, Oh
my gosh, these people. And then eventually the people storm
(02:22):
into your home and they're sitting on your sofa, getting
into your little Debbie snacks. It's just horrible. And then
about a week later, after all these people came into
your home, you found out a lot of these people
worked for me. Boy, that would raise some interesting questions,
(02:43):
wouldn't it. You hired me it was my job to
protect you. But then an angry mob stormed your home
and a lot of them worked for me. Man. That
almost seems like something ugly is going on, doesn't it.
This is a little long, but it's worth it. Representative
(03:03):
Thomas Massey interrogated Merrick Garland today about just how many
FEDS were in the crowd on January sixth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Iran contra was an ongoing investigation, and that didn't stop
Congress from getting the answers. And you're getting in the
way of our constitutional duty. You're signing the Constitution. I'm
going to cite it. It's our constitutional duty to do oversight.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
In that video, that was your answer to a question
to me two years ago when I said, how many
agents or assets of the government were present on January
fifth and January sixth and agitating in the crowd to
go into the capitol, and how many went into the capitol?
Can you answer that now?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You don't know how many there were or there were none.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I don't know the answer to either of those questions.
If there were any, I don't know how many. You've
know whether there are any.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think you may have just perjured yourself that you
don't know that there were any. You want to say
that again, that you don't know that there were any.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
No personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I
said the last.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Time, you've had two years to find out.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And today, by the way, that was in reference to
Rey EPs and yesterday you indicted him.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Isn't that a wonderful coincidence.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
On a misdemeanor.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Meanwhile, you're sending Grandma's to prison.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You're putting people away for twenty years for merely filming.
Some people weren't even there yet. You got the guy
on video who's saying go into the capitol. He's directing
people to the capitol before the speech ends. He's at
the site of the first breach.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You've got all the goods on.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In ten videos, and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor.
The American public isn't buying it. I yielded to bounce
of my time to Chairman Jeordian.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, I answer the question.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We'll let the down.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Go ahead. But in discovery in the cases were filed with.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to sit and
listen to that. Why can't the Attorney General of the
United States of America answer a simple yes or no
about whether or not or just how many undercover agents
or informants were in the crowd on January sixth. Now,
(05:17):
maybe you're sitting there and maybe you're giving him the
benefit of the doubt, and you're saying, well, he can't
discuss this because it's an ongoing investigation. No, no, no, no, no, no,
you don't understand. He can kind of hide behind the
means in methods argument. What is that he can argue,
I can't tell you how we do what we do.
(05:39):
I can't tell you. Yes, Tom was wearing a suit
and tie and he had a special microphone. It was
woven into his Twope, got they they can avoid having
to tell you that, but they one hundred percent can
tell you whether or not they had informants or agents
themselves in the crowd. And let's all be honest about
(06:02):
what we're thinking right now. There's really only one reason
why you wouldn't want to say because if that answer
was no, and if you're Merrit Garland, if you're part
of the system, remember you want that answer to be no.
You want to be able to tell the public there
were no federal agents, there were no informants, in the crowd.
(06:27):
These were all dangerous white supremacists, insurrectionists trying to end democracy.
That's what you want to be able to say if
you're Barrick Garland. So if you can't say that after
being asked several times, what it does is it confirms
for people like you and people like me that there
were federal informants in the crowd. The only question is
(06:49):
how many of them were there and what role exactly
did they play, Because at this point in time, with
the ray Epps information that was just brought up, I
think it's more than reasonable for an American to assume
the federal government played a significant role in causing January sixth.
(07:12):
And if you say that's crazy, I'm just going to
ask you what happened to the pipe bomb guy? You know,
the guy that's on videotape laying pipe bombs at the
Republican and Democrat headquarters. They have him on videotape and
(07:32):
the most surveilled city in the world. Why has he
not been been apprehended and why? Maybe the better question
is this, you want to hear to talk about something
we've we brought up before, but something a lot of
people don't know Norman. Norm certainly doesn't know. In fact,
Normi normill think you're crazy when you tell him this. Nevertheless,
you are telling him the truth. Why do we have
(07:54):
all this geolocation data on all of our cell phones?
If the FBI wanted two, they could look up with
very little difficulty where exactly I was at two thirteen
pm yesterday afternoon, and they could tell you to the
inch where I was, at least where my phone was.
Why is it the geolocation data for the cell phone
(08:16):
in that area, the pipe bomb area at the time
he was placing the bombs? Why is that information muddled
and unavailable to everybody? Oh, we've had We've had requests
for it from professional journalists and they've been turned down
(08:36):
or they've been told the information is unavailable just in
that area and just during that time frame. Keep that
in mind as you listen to this briefly or at
least a little part of it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Once again, I Ran Contra was an ongoing investigation, and
that didn't stop Congress from getting the answers. And you're
getting in the way of our constitutional duty. You're signing
the constitution. I'm going to sid it's our constitutional duty
to do oversight. Now in that video, that was your
answer to a question to me two years ago when
I said, how many agents or assets of the government
(09:10):
were present on January fifth and January sixth and agitating
in the crowd to go into the capitol, and how
many went into the capitol? Can you answer that now?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
You don't know how many there were or there were none.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
I don't know the answer to either of those questions.
If there were any, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He knows the answer to those questions. He's not giving
the answer to those questions because the answer to those
questions is simply that the crowd on January sixth was
full of agents and informants both, and it was full
of people associated with the federal government who instigated the incidents,
at least some of them on January sixth. And they
(09:51):
did that because they wanted something to happen on January sixth,
and they wanted something to happen on January sixth so
they could have justification to send the Bureau of Investigation
with the SWAT team to your door for not supporting
Joe Biden. It really is that simple. We're almost done
with the Garland stuff. We'll wrap that up next. Hang on,
(10:15):
you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show, You're welcome. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday. If you
miss any part of the show, download the whole thing
on iHeart, Google, Spotify, and iTunes. My friend, the Great
Dan Bongino is gonna join us in like ten minutes
(10:35):
from now. That will be very exciting. It'll be fun
to give Dan crap about things as I want to do. Now,
let's finish up with this Merrick Garland stuck because we
have to talk about poverty and affirmative action. We have
to get to some emails. I might even take some
calls later on after Dan or just I'm in a
good mood. I don't know why I'm in a good mood.
(10:55):
The whole Merrick Garland thing really should just tear us,
tear us apart, realizing exactly how screwed we are. But
oh well, I intend to smile as the ship goes down.
Here's Jim Jordan at least hammering him. Quote.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Mister Weiss has full authority to bring cases and other
jurisdictions if he feels it's necessary. That was your response
Attorney General to Senator Grassley's question on.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Hold on, no, let me let me explain. I should
have set this up, but I'm unprofessional, so I didn't
set it up. Allow me to rewind the tape here, Chris.
We're not live or anything, are we? We can rewile
where we are, all right. Remember, David Weiss is the
special prosecutor, the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden. They said
(11:39):
they made him a special prosecutor so he had unlimited
power authority. There was no one keeping him in check,
no one. That's really the idea behind a special prosecutor.
He's separate, really kind of from the Justice Department, separate
from the AG's authority. Hey, this is a guy who
he's got a license to ca you know, like James Bond.
(12:01):
That's essentially what he is. They said, that's why they
made him a special prosecutor. Where they're twisting Merrit Garland
up was they had previously said he had all that authority,
but if he didn't, then you were over him and
you were directing it all before. So that's kind of
what you're hearing here.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Quote, mister Weiss has full authority to bring cases and
other jurisdictions if he feels it's necessary. That was your response,
Attorney General to Senator Grassley's question on March first, twenty
twenty three. He just referenced when mister Bishop was questioning you.
Only problem is he'd already been turned down by the
US Attorney and the District of Columbia, mister Graves, So
he didn't have full authority, did he.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I had an extended conversation with Senator Grassley at the time.
We briefly touched on a Section five point fifteen question
and how that process went.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I've never been suggested.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
By points real simple, mister Garland. You said he had
complete authority, but he'd already been turned down. He wanted
to bring an action in the District of Columbia, and
the US Attorne there said no, you can't. And then
you go tell the United States Senate under oath that
he has complete authority.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
I'm going to say again that no one had the
authority to turn him down. They could refuse to partner
with him, They.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Could not use whatever language refuse to partner is turning down.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, so it looks bad, and maybe you're sitting there
screaming at the radio. The way I do on occasion
and saying well, okay, well hopefully they do something about this,
and hopefully they do. But these are Republicans, they're not
anti communists. Actually finding out what the communists are doing
is probably the best we can hope for out of
(13:37):
the Republicans. So just let them have their moment. Andy
Biggs had a couple of good ones today.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Sorry I'm not following. What's yeah? I know you're not following.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
So you've got one of your deputy US attorneys calling
the attorney on this side saying, look, we're going to
go to these two places, and of course then ultimately
the search warrant is called off.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Is that I just want to know.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Does it consistent to call up people and where you
know that they've got boxes of information or you suspect
they have boxes of information, that's why you got the
warrant and you give him a heads up so they
can move those boxes of information. Would that be consistent
with DOJ policy.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I'm just gonna say again, you're asking me actually to
comment about allegations in a particular case about.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
No, I'm not no, I'm not I'm asking you is
that consistent with your overall policy.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Forget forget Delaware and what they did and that they
actually did that. Let's just talk about generics. Let's see.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Sorry, I thought you were asking about mar A Lago.
I may not have understood them.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
So, yeah, gladdy to So when we're talking about this,
when we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, whoop. See all right, we're moving on. It is,
of course a Wednesday, and Dan Bongino's joining us in
like five minutes from now. That'll be fun. Let's do
something quickly. One of the reasons I love Dan is
he's so outspoken about life. I like that because, especially
in this day and age, it's very easy to get
(14:58):
wishy washy on that, especially in the corporate world, in
the political world, Republican and Democrat, all the rich guys,
all the suits want you to be wishy washy. Hey,
don't talk too much about it. Hey, well whatever, let's
disagree to disagree. No, no, no, no. Dan's been speaking out
for life. It's people who have the guts to speak
out for the unborn have my respect. Period. That's why
(15:22):
I tell you about preborn. All the time preborn they
go into the bad neighborhoods. You realize that preborn sets
up shop in these super high crime, super high abortion areas.
And what do they do. They sit there and they
tell these scared young women, come on in, let's get
(15:44):
an ultrasound for you. Let's figure this whole thing out.
That free ultrasound for her is paid for by you.
It's twenty eight dollars. That's what it costs Preborn to
give her that free ultrasound. When she hears the heartbeat,
she chooses life. Let's put our money where our morals are.
We are supposed to be the hands and feet. This
(16:04):
is how we do it. Preborn dot com slash Jesse.
All right, preborn dot com slash Jesse sponsored by Preborn
gets to maybe an email or two before we get
on to Dan here. I've had enough, Merit Garland. I
can't do the voice. And look, maybe maybe I'm just
being mean, maybe I'm cold hearted, but when you're Merit Garland,
(16:29):
you're an older man, heir. They certainly got a crown
of gray hair, and there's I'm not insulting that I
got all kinds of gray going on over here. I'm
not insulting that at all. I'm not an insult to gray.
Go gray, But you've had a lifetime to work on
your voice. And don't tell me he's not aware. He's
(16:51):
aware of his voice. What Chris, what? What do you mean?
What's he supposed to do? Don't act like you can't.
Let me see where's the best one.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
We will not be intimidated.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Yeah, that's we will do our jobs free from outside influence.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I remember the one where you almost started crying. What
do you mean? What's he supposed to do? I can't
believe you said that, Chris. Dudes can change the tone
of their voice. Everyone can. You can go ah loan
and whatnot. You can start smoking cigarettes if I look,
if I, if I sounded like this.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
We will not be intimidated.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'm not pro smoking, but it's gonna be a two
pack a day Marlboro Red habit for me until that changes.
What Chris, you can change the scared girl wobble whiskey
and cigarettes. Let's get a little gravel out there out
of the Attorney General. I want to feel it when.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Hens we apply the same laws to every.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Listen to this a smoke. Somebody get Merrick Garland, a
carton of Marlboro Reds and some Jim Beam, and we're
gonna fix this thing quick fast and in a hurry.
He's gonna sound like John Wayne here in about a week.
All right, Maybe we'll ask Dan about that. Maybe we won't.
I don't know. I was supposed to get to some emails,
(18:07):
but I didn't end up doing that because I'm irresponsible.
We're gonna talk to Dan Bongino, and after Dan, I'll
probably take some calls and emails and fun stuff. Eight
seven seven three seven seven four three seven three Hang on,
Jesse Kelly, it is that Jesse Kelly show and joining me.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You know, you never know exactly which title you want
to give somebody when they join you, but this one
it was easy. It's it's easy gigantic failure. Dan Bongino
joins me. Now you may obviously know him as someone
who's been plastered all over your television and radio forever,
but you wrote a book about failing.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
What's your problem? Why?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah? I love is great. I love that intro doing you.
You're awesome man. You know, I love you so good
to be on with you on your show by the rest,
so glad. You're so honest too, which I love you.
Reach out and you're like, dude, you got a book out.
You know, you were on my show about your bo
You're like, you want to come sell a few copies.
I love a bit guy like you're so honestly that
(19:16):
you have this brutal sense of honesty. I think that's
why your audience loves you. Man. But yeah, I wrote
this book called The Gift of Failure, and uh, really
it's kind of like the anti self help book, because Jesse,
I'm kind of a guy like you, like I don't
like phonies and fakes, and you and I are in
this business. We both do basically the same thing, pod
(19:36):
digital radio kind of stuff, and we'll both degree right,
ninety percent of people are full of crap and phony sprauds, right,
I think it's a pretty fair enough We're probably being
generous at nineties, probably more You're You're not one of
those guys. So I don't like books about people telling
everyone how great they are. Look at me the Dan
Bongino twelve Step to Success program and I'm so wonderful
(19:58):
And that's so almost slipped that that's all BS. So
I said to myself, I think I'm going to write
a book that's like anti cell help, Like every single
embarrassing thing I screwed up to let people know that
if some you know, diplod like me can get a
national radio show and you know, do what I did,
(20:20):
then what's your excuse. I have no natural talents. I'm
not that smart. I'm definitely not good looking. I mean,
my bones are falling apart. I'm all our credits, I'm
not athletic, and I've done okay, so you have no excuse.
So that's what that was. That's where the book started.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
No, I'm glad you started there, Dan, And I'm glad
you wrote the book, obviously speaking with Dan Bongino, because
I know you get this too, brother. I get these
I get so many emails from men of any age.
I was going to say young men, but of any age,
and they're so down on themselves. You know, I suck.
I've screwed this up. I've screwed that up. I've screwed
this up. And I really just get this sense from
(20:58):
men and women that they think other people I have
perfect lives and they're the only screw ups. And I've
tried to explain to people it's that's not quite the case.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
No, No, and you know, last night I'm doing a
book signing, and we thought we expected like one hundred
and fifty people because it was around my neighborhood and
everybody kind of knows me. I'm just like, you know,
I'm just one of the neighbors. Like I go to
publics and can't say, you know, we eat like everything,
like nothing. There's nothing different about us, you know. So
I figured on hundred fifty deer, so five hundred people
showed up. So I was there at like nine thirty
(21:28):
at night from five o'clock, and I got to tell
you I've done the radio show on a podcast, so
my voice was completely gone. I was just I couldn't talk,
and I run into the sky walking out, and I
think God sent them. I mean it, God sends messengers,
and I'm telling you I think God sent them. I'm
walking out and just being candid because I'm not going
to fake the funk. That's an end. That's an end
(21:49):
for the sec SEC people out there. I was ready
to kind of just walk and say, sir, I'm really sorry,
but I got to run. I knew he wanted to
take yourselfie and stuff, and he stopped and he said,
I was in the pen for eighteen years, and I
instantly stopped because I've got a soft spot in my
heart for people who've been in the pen and have
(22:09):
done time. Not because I condone criminality, but because I
understand that, you know, people can change and repent. And
Jesus Christ himself gave a guy to the right of
him on the cross and said, I'll see you in heaven.
So what's in my business? And I stopped, and I
spent a good five minutes with this guy. He was
an older guy talking about how he trewed everything up
(22:29):
and he found some inspiration. And on my show he
didn't say the book I didn't even know. He didn't
thing he knew ahead of it. He listened to my
show on the radio and he was just in this
Barnes and Noble and Brother. I got to tell you,
I was totally taken aback. And I said to my wife,
of all the things I've done today, that guy was
by far the most impactful. I mean really, he says
(22:50):
we fail, we fail a lot, And the books are
really kind of candid, sometimes embarrassing take on. It was
never meant to be a memoir because nobody gives a
damn about my life. But in the end, I think
it speaks a lot to leadership, you know, because you
and I like to mess around a lot on the
lake and radio. But you know, you were in a military,
I was in a Secret Service. Man, you screw up,
people died, that's it. You screw up like people are dead.
(23:13):
That's just the way it rolls. And in the end,
you know, after embarrassingly laying out things I screwed up
in the NYPD, the Secret Service, running for office and
getting crushed, cussing out reporters and everything else, at the
end of the book, I kind of tie it all together.
And I think that's the part people have really kind
of really enjoyed the most, is in the last chapter
(23:33):
where I really kind of tie it all together.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Dan cussing out reporters is by far and my favorite
thing about you. But we'll set that aside for a minute,
because I obviously we need to talk about briefly the
news of the day. Okay, Merrick Garland's a snake. This
is nothing you don't know, and this is nothing you
obviously don't educate your audience on every single day. Everyone
knows all this, We know all the problems, we talk
about all the problems. Sometimes it can feel a little
overwhelming for normal people. Dan when you look at just
(23:59):
how and corrupt it all is, give me some hope.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I can. I mean, I'm not here to g I'm
here to give you a don't say Ippi cac so
you throw off all this stuff. I'm not here. The
guys say to me last night, I'm really glad you
tell us the truth so we know what we're fighting.
I mean, evil's evil. You know, Evil's not like. Evil's
not like, oh gosh, maybe we'll lose the next election
and the evil goes away. But I say to people,
(24:26):
all right, I will give you hope. You know I
shouldn't say, because I will give you a little bit
of hope. I'm long on America to get that a lot.
Merck Garland's absolutely corrupt. The treatment of the Biden crime
family versus the Trump family is obviously on its faith.
Uh it just near it's criminal in and of itself.
It's not blind justice. It's only blind to Democrats. But
I say to folks all the time, this is not
(24:47):
an excuse to give up. I mean, our jesse were listen,
then we're the softest generation. I'm not indicting anyone in
the audience I'm talking about we are our grandparents grew
up in the Great Depression. You know, they fought in
World War T with like battle rashes. It tasted like
cardboard more was far more brutal. Back then. We didn't
have any of the advanced surgical procedures we had now.
(25:10):
I mean, I got an uncle who was you know,
shot in the back in through duck Vietnam, got the
Bronze Star with a v device for valor trying to
save his friend. So what's my excuse? Like, Oh, they
cheat and election, Yeah, they cheat, So how we're going
to fix it? So how are we going to fix it?
So the best thing I can tell people is the
best thing you can do is make your bed first,
(25:31):
clean up your you know Jordan Peterson right there in
his book, and he's right, clean up your local school
boards and communities. Get involved locally first, and then start
working your way up to chain, because that's how we're
going to take America back, one school board, one city
council at a time. It happens, it can happen. The
Left did it to us, and we can return to favor.
But there's no giving up. I mean, what are you
(25:52):
gonna do. You don't like Merica, Carl, You're gonna move
to Canada, Like good luck with Justin Trudeau, Like have
fun with that. So we got country to say. As
my friend Jinny Thomas says, you're the leaders we've been
waiting for. Don't wait for someone else. You do it.
I did it. I want rant for office. I got crushed,
I got humiliated. I did it two more times, so
(26:13):
I don't I'm sorry. I don't want to hear anyone's excuses. Eh,
you know my ankle hearts. I don't want to vote.
That's that's bull Get out and vote. I don't want
to hear it. I've knocked on seven thousand doors running
for office in a blue state. I lost one by
twenty points. You know one I lost close, it doesn't matter,
it's still lost. Yeah, go out save centry.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I have a two time election loser myself, Dan. Maybe
that's why we both get along. I've got the brother.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Is seriously man Between you, me and Hegsath, we've lost
like forty seven elections, and it's to him. We dust
it off and we came back. Peach running Fox and Fred.
You're nationally syndicated six to nine. I'm syndicated twelve to three.
Like I said, the gift of failure. That's why I
wrote the book.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The book is the gift of failure. He is Dan Bongino.
And you know, obviously, you know very well I do
not bring people on. I hardly ever have guests period
on my show. Dan is always welcome. Go read a
book and find out that you're not some horrible failure,
You're not some screw up in life. Tomorrow maybe when
(27:18):
it happens for you. Go read it. Dan, Where do
you want people to go get this thing?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh cool? Anywhere online or in the bookstore. I'm not
a big fan, and he's big tech monsters, so you know,
Barnesondoble dot com is probably the best place to go.
But of course it's you know, on Amazon all these
other stuff. But I hate them, so you know, I
probably should do better promotion, but I don't give a
damn about that. I hate those animals.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
They suck, So that's okay.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I think that's why he's Dan Bongino. The book is
the gift of failure. He's one of the few genuine
good people in this business. He's my boy, Thank you,
my brother. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Thanks brother, talk to you soon. You're good.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Thanks, man, appreciate you. Dan's good people.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You always wonder if that guy you hear behind the
mic on TV is a legitimate person. Much of the
time they are not. Dan is the gift of failure
a cool idea for a book. Look, I might have
written that book had I ever failed at anything at all. What, Chris,
I can't write a book. That's blank. Shut up. Maybe
(28:25):
you're failing right now. Maybe you're failing to go get
your per Cow sheets from my pillow. If you have
sheets on your bed and there's sheets you didn't get
at my pillow, you should write your own book about
failure because you're failing at sleep, especially when per Cow
sheets are fifty percent off the queen size. They're normally
(28:46):
eighty nine ninety eight. Right now they're thirty five bucks.
Wait a minute, let me do the math on that.
That's more than fifty percent off. Sorry, I do radio,
not math. Per Cow sheets MyPillow dot com click on
the radio listener special square used to promo code Jesse
Queen size thirty five bucks, twin size twenty five bucks.
(29:07):
Go get the best sheets ever. Go get a couple
sets my pillow dot com promo code Jesse or call
eight hundred eight four five zero five four four. We
will be back and I may take some of your calls.
Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three
truth attitude, Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(29:34):
on a Wednesday. I feel like that's twice tonight that
my voice is almost cracked coming back. I don't know
what's going on. There's like a like a have I
been smoking? No, Chris, I have not been smoking. Maybe
I should start. Maybe that's God telling me it's time
to take up smoking. Of course it is shut up
and focus, all right. Eight seven seven three seven seven
(29:58):
four three seven. We do have a bit of breaking news.
This happened like five while I was talking to Dan.
This just went down. And you know me, I have
a duty as a journalist to bring you the news.
It's journalist Jesse. There's just no one better. We love Jesse.
He's the best. Yesse, Please kiss my baby, Yesie, Jesse. Jesse.
(30:22):
Jessey Jessey. You see there's this Air Force general. He
once had an article written for him written about him
in Defense one and this was the title of the
article inside the Air Force Chiefs Mission for Racial Equity.
That's the article, and the Senate five minutes ago just
(30:45):
got done voting that gentleman will be the next Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the big cheese in
the United States Military. And maybe you're sitting there saying, Wow,
that sucks. We don't have this Senate. If we'd only
taken back the Senate with Republicans, we would have had
a better one. Oh, would you like to hear the
(31:08):
few Senators who voted no? Because the vote I think
it was eighty six to eleven. If I remember a
seven to eleven, I don't know. I was looking right
before that. Here's the only Republicans who voted no. Braun Cruz,
Holly Johnson, Lee Loomis, Marshall, Rubio, Schmidt, Vance, and Tubberville
(31:29):
the only ones who tried to stop the next Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs from being yet another diversity higher
for the military, yet another person who's going to focus
on everything but the mission. And we wonder, we wonder
why recruiting is down. Well, the guys who've been fighting
(31:53):
your wars for you and winning your wars for you,
they don't want to hear about that stuff of any color.
Of any color, doesn't matter your color. You're an adventurous
young man, seeking dangers, seeking to better yourself, serve your country,
maybe tough en up a little bit. You don't join
for that crap. But I don't worry. It's not like
we're in the middle is trying to fight World War
(32:13):
three here anyway, let's get back eight seven seven three
seven seven four three seven three Mary Idaho, go.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Our bosses.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
And I just love that. And I'm the whole concept
of failure. I mean, I was a single mom and
I raised two warrior sons in Iraq and Afghanistan and
have an active duty son in law. And it's hard,
but it's easy when you think that that's what you
need to do. How do we get new parents to
(32:49):
not be afraid to do that, to just think that
they're not failing their children by letting them serve in
the military.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, here's a I get this question a lot about
new parents. Hey, Jesse, why won't new parents do this?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Why?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Why won't new parents discipline their kids? Why won't new
parents stop them from doing this? Why do parents allow
this these days? And you know. I don't do the
generational generalizations. Now every every boomer was a loser and
Gen X was great. I think that's ridiculous. Every generation
has wonderful people and bad people. I will only say
(33:26):
this about parenting eight seven seven three seven seven four
three seven three A lot of parenting, because parenting can
be difficult. Although it's the greatest thing in the world,
the best thing in the world, it can be difficult.
A lot of parenting is self confidence, and a lot
of parents today don't have any because we live in
the social media realm where they've lived their lives on
social media and now you have a kid and you
(33:47):
don't have the confidence for a lot of this stuff.
And also she mentioned her kids going off to the
military and getting tough and things like that. Parents want
what's best for their kids. They want their what they
want their children to be safe, and that's understandable, but
especially with boys who turn into young men, young men
have to experience some level of danger or they'll never
(34:09):
become the kind of men that are worth anything. Just
the way it is. Dan Colorado go, Jay Jersey go.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
I have two claps, two things I want to say, Jesse.
I think us quick. Number One, I wish you were
on Fox Moore. You know, I know you used to
go and Tucker from time to time, and I just
wish I would see somebody on there speaking some sense.
And number two, I just want to know about what
you're paying. I know you're highly skeptical of Eva Gramaswami,
(34:48):
and I fully I get that, But I want to
know if you think that he's a complete charlatan, or
maybe he has an opportunity later on in the game,
you know, one day yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Eight seven seven three seven four three seven three. I'm
not gonna voice all my opinions again on Vivek. I've
told you I've done that. I've did it once or twice,
and I just don't need to dwell on it. He's
your guy, that's fine. I've told you my opinion on him.
Do I think he's a complete charlatan or does he
have some uh maybe a future. Here's here's what I
(35:22):
believe overall. This is what I believe from people I
talk to, this is what I think. I think he's
wildly charismatic, incredibly sharp, and incredibly ambitious. Everybody I know
who knows him says the same thing. Ambitious, ambitious, incredibly ambitious,
and there's nothing wrong with ambition, right, you should have it.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I have it.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I hope you have ambitions for life, whatever those ambitions
may be. I just when you combine absurdly ambitious with
brand new positions that you and I would like that
are different from positions he had a year ago. We're
not talking about how it's since his childhood. A year ago,
he had different positions. I am so distrustful of all
(36:05):
these people. Anyway, I'm out. But that does not mean
he's the antichrist. And maybe he really is something special,
and maybe at some point in time he will be
a leader for the right. I'm not dismissing it totally,
and I don't know. All hey, maybe he really maybe
he really has it. Something smells there for me. All right,
(36:25):
we have an entire hour. You ready for another hour?
Let's talk about anti affirmative action emails, some more calls
eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three,
emergency food supplies. We're gonna talk about that in the
last hour too. Now, why will we be discussing such
a thing. Oh, I don't know, Because I've heard starving
to death is miserable and when you combine that with
(36:47):
the fact that the FED came out today and they
essentially said, well, we're not raising rates, but remember that
whole soft landing thing. Did he hear that? He said,
remember that whole soft landing thing. Yeah, ah, I wouldn't
hold out for that. Chairman said it today. Get some food.
My Patriot Supply has three month foodkits prepped and ready
(37:08):
to send to you. They ship fast and free and anonymously,
and you need to keep it that way. Get it
and stash it just in case. All right, right now,
they're twenty five percent off. Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot
com is where you get them. So go get them.
Prepare with Jessekelly dot com. Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot com.
(37:29):
Another hour begins in a minute.
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. Reminding
you you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow
dot com. Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We'll get
to Merrick Garland and the DOJ in just a second.
(00:33):
I'm sorry, I have to play this for you. I
just can't. I can't stop laughing. I'm gonna play something
for you. It's a local news story where they found
some dude, some black dude. He's a farmer. He was
the guy who heard the F thirty five crash. And
(00:53):
I need to give you a heads up. We did
not come up with this for radio. This is not
a hardy This is not us doing a bit. This
is not me screwing around doing bad sound effects. Chris,
if you wouldn't mind, would you please play the gentleman
who definitely heard the plane go down.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Normally it's pretty quiet, but on Sunday afternoon, I was in.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
The uh in the bathroom taking a shave and I heard.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Us a screeching saw that between a screech and a whistle.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I said, what in the whorl of this?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And I heard a boom in my whole house show,
White says he didn't realize it was a plane at
the time.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Okay, Chris, you can shut it off.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I love that car. All right, quick, we have to
talk about how we're totally screwed. Let's let's I want
you to imagine something. I want you to imagine. You
hire me, You hire me and fifty of my friends.
What's our job. We are going to protect you. That's
(02:00):
what you hire me to do. We are your personal
security service, me, fifty of my buddies. We have committed
that we will keep you safe. That's what you hire
us for. And then I want you to imagine this.
I want you to imagine one day, this angry mob
forms in your front yard and you're so scared, Oh
my gosh, these people. And then eventually the people storm
(02:22):
into your home and they're sitting on your sofa, getting
into your little Debbie snacks. It's just horrible. And then
about a week later, after all these people came into
your home, you found out a lot of these people
worked for me. Boy, that would raise some interesting questions,
(02:43):
wouldn't it. You hired me it was my job to
protect you. But then an angry mob stormed your home
and a lot of them worked for me. Man. That
almost seems like something ugly is going on, doesn't it.
This is a little long, but it's worth it. Representative
(03:03):
Thomas Massey interrogated Merrick Garland today about just how many
FEDS were in the crowd on January sixth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Iran contra was an ongoing investigation, and that didn't stop
Congress from getting the answers. And you're getting in the
way of our constitutional duty. You're signing the Constitution. I'm
going to cite it. It's our constitutional duty to do oversight.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
In that video, that was your answer to a question
to me two years ago when I said, how many
agents or assets of the government were present on January
fifth and January sixth and agitating in the crowd to
go into the capitol, and how many went into the capitol?
Can you answer that now?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
You don't know how many there were or there were none.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
I don't know the answer to either of those questions.
If there were any, I don't know how many. You've
know whether there are any.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think you may have just perjured yourself that you
don't know that there were any. You want to say
that again, that you don't know that there were any.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
No personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I
said the last.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Time, you've had two years to find out.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And today, by the way, that was in reference to
Rey EPs and yesterday you indicted him.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Isn't that a wonderful coincidence.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
On a misdemeanor.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Meanwhile, you're sending Grandma's to prison.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You're putting people away for twenty years for merely filming.
Some people weren't even there yet. You got the guy
on video who's saying go into the capitol. He's directing
people to the capitol before the speech ends. He's at
the site of the first breach.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You've got all the goods on.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In ten videos, and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor.
The American public isn't buying it. I yielded to bounce
of my time to Chairman Jeordian.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, I answer the question.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We'll let the down.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Go ahead. But in discovery in the cases were filed with.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to sit and
listen to that. Why can't the Attorney General of the
United States of America answer a simple yes or no
about whether or not or just how many undercover agents
or informants were in the crowd on January sixth. Now,
(05:17):
maybe you're sitting there and maybe you're giving him the
benefit of the doubt, and you're saying, well, he can't
discuss this because it's an ongoing investigation. No, no, no, no, no, no,
you don't understand. He can kind of hide behind the
means in methods argument. What is that he can argue,
I can't tell you how we do what we do.
(05:39):
I can't tell you. Yes, Tom was wearing a suit
and tie and he had a special microphone. It was
woven into his Twope, got they they can avoid having
to tell you that, but they one hundred percent can
tell you whether or not they had informants or agents
themselves in the crowd. And let's all be honest about
(06:02):
what we're thinking right now. There's really only one reason
why you wouldn't want to say because if that answer
was no, and if you're Merrit Garland, if you're part
of the system, remember you want that answer to be no.
You want to be able to tell the public there
were no federal agents, there were no informants, in the crowd.
(06:27):
These were all dangerous white supremacists, insurrectionists trying to end democracy.
That's what you want to be able to say if
you're Barrick Garland. So if you can't say that after
being asked several times, what it does is it confirms
for people like you and people like me that there
were federal informants in the crowd. The only question is
(06:49):
how many of them were there and what role exactly
did they play, Because at this point in time, with
the ray Epps information that was just brought up, I
think it's more than reasonable for an American to assume
the federal government played a significant role in causing January sixth.
(07:12):
And if you say that's crazy, I'm just going to
ask you what happened to the pipe bomb guy? You know,
the guy that's on videotape laying pipe bombs at the
Republican and Democrat headquarters. They have him on videotape and
(07:32):
the most surveilled city in the world. Why has he
not been been apprehended and why? Maybe the better question
is this, you want to hear to talk about something
we've we brought up before, but something a lot of
people don't know Norman. Norm certainly doesn't know. In fact,
Normi normill think you're crazy when you tell him this. Nevertheless,
you are telling him the truth. Why do we have
(07:54):
all this geolocation data on all of our cell phones?
If the FBI wanted two, they could look up with
very little difficulty where exactly I was at two thirteen
pm yesterday afternoon, and they could tell you to the
inch where I was, at least where my phone was.
Why is it the geolocation data for the cell phone
(08:16):
in that area, the pipe bomb area at the time
he was placing the bombs? Why is that information muddled
and unavailable to everybody? Oh, we've had We've had requests
for it from professional journalists and they've been turned down
(08:36):
or they've been told the information is unavailable just in
that area and just during that time frame. Keep that
in mind as you listen to this briefly or at
least a little part of it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Once again, I Ran Contra was an ongoing investigation, and
that didn't stop Congress from getting the answers. And you're
getting in the way of our constitutional duty. You're signing
the constitution. I'm going to sid it's our constitutional duty
to do oversight. Now in that video, that was your
answer to a question to me two years ago when
I said, how many agents or assets of the government
(09:10):
were present on January fifth and January sixth and agitating
in the crowd to go into the capitol, and how
many went into the capitol? Can you answer that now?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
You don't know how many there were or there were none.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
I don't know the answer to either of those questions.
If there were any, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
He knows the answer to those questions. He's not giving
the answer to those questions because the answer to those
questions is simply that the crowd on January sixth was
full of agents and informants both, and it was full
of people associated with the federal government who instigated the incidents,
at least some of them on January sixth. And they
(09:51):
did that because they wanted something to happen on January sixth,
and they wanted something to happen on January sixth so
they could have justification to send the Bureau of Investigation
with the SWAT team to your door for not supporting
Joe Biden. It really is that simple. We're almost done
with the Garland stuff. We'll wrap that up next. Hang on,
(10:15):
you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show, You're welcome. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday. If you
miss any part of the show, download the whole thing
on iHeart, Google, Spotify, and iTunes. My friend, the Great
Dan Bongino is gonna join us in like ten minutes
(10:35):
from now. That will be very exciting. It'll be fun
to give Dan crap about things as I want to do. Now,
let's finish up with this Merrick Garland stuck because we
have to talk about poverty and affirmative action. We have
to get to some emails. I might even take some
calls later on after Dan or just I'm in a
good mood. I don't know why I'm in a good mood.
(10:55):
The whole Merrick Garland thing really should just tear us,
tear us apart, realizing exactly how screwed we are. But
oh well, I intend to smile as the ship goes down.
Here's Jim Jordan at least hammering him. Quote.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Mister Weiss has full authority to bring cases and other
jurisdictions if he feels it's necessary. That was your response
Attorney General to Senator Grassley's question on.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Hold on, no, let me let me explain. I should
have set this up, but I'm unprofessional, so I didn't
set it up. Allow me to rewind the tape here, Chris.
We're not live or anything, are we? We can rewile
where we are, all right. Remember, David Weiss is the
special prosecutor, the special counsel investigating Hunter Biden. They said
(11:39):
they made him a special prosecutor so he had unlimited
power authority. There was no one keeping him in check,
no one. That's really the idea behind a special prosecutor.
He's separate, really kind of from the Justice Department, separate
from the AG's authority. Hey, this is a guy who
he's got a license to ca you know, like James Bond.
(12:01):
That's essentially what he is. They said, that's why they
made him a special prosecutor. Where they're twisting Merrit Garland
up was they had previously said he had all that authority,
but if he didn't, then you were over him and
you were directing it all before. So that's kind of
what you're hearing here.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Quote, mister Weiss has full authority to bring cases and
other jurisdictions if he feels it's necessary. That was your response,
Attorney General to Senator Grassley's question on March first, twenty
twenty three. He just referenced when mister Bishop was questioning you.
Only problem is he'd already been turned down by the
US Attorney and the District of Columbia, mister Graves, So
he didn't have full authority, did he.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I had an extended conversation with Senator Grassley at the time.
We briefly touched on a Section five point fifteen question
and how that process went.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I've never been suggested.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
By points real simple, mister Garland. You said he had
complete authority, but he'd already been turned down. He wanted
to bring an action in the District of Columbia, and
the US Attorne there said no, you can't. And then
you go tell the United States Senate under oath that
he has complete authority.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
I'm going to say again that no one had the
authority to turn him down. They could refuse to partner
with him, They.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Could not use whatever language refuse to partner is turning down.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, so it looks bad, and maybe you're sitting there
screaming at the radio. The way I do on occasion
and saying well, okay, well hopefully they do something about this,
and hopefully they do. But these are Republicans, they're not
anti communists. Actually finding out what the communists are doing
is probably the best we can hope for out of
(13:37):
the Republicans. So just let them have their moment. Andy
Biggs had a couple of good ones today.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Sorry I'm not following. What's yeah? I know you're not following.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
So you've got one of your deputy US attorneys calling
the attorney on this side saying, look, we're going to
go to these two places, and of course then ultimately
the search warrant is called off.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Is that I just want to know.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Does it consistent to call up people and where you
know that they've got boxes of information or you suspect
they have boxes of information, that's why you got the
warrant and you give him a heads up so they
can move those boxes of information. Would that be consistent
with DOJ policy.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
I'm just gonna say again, you're asking me actually to
comment about allegations in a particular case about.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
No, I'm not no, I'm not I'm asking you is
that consistent with your overall policy.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Forget forget Delaware and what they did and that they
actually did that. Let's just talk about generics. Let's see.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Sorry, I thought you were asking about mar A Lago.
I may not have understood them.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
So, yeah, gladdy to So when we're talking about this,
when we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, whoop. See all right, we're moving on. It is,
of course a Wednesday, and Dan Bongino's joining us in
like five minutes from now. That'll be fun. Let's do
something quickly. One of the reasons I love Dan is
he's so outspoken about life. I like that because, especially
in this day and age, it's very easy to get
(14:58):
wishy washy on that, especially in the corporate world, in
the political world, Republican and Democrat, all the rich guys,
all the suits want you to be wishy washy. Hey,
don't talk too much about it. Hey, well whatever, let's
disagree to disagree. No, no, no, no. Dan's been speaking out
for life. It's people who have the guts to speak
out for the unborn have my respect. Period. That's why
(15:22):
I tell you about preborn. All the time preborn they
go into the bad neighborhoods. You realize that preborn sets
up shop in these super high crime, super high abortion areas.
And what do they do. They sit there and they
tell these scared young women, come on in, let's get
(15:44):
an ultrasound for you. Let's figure this whole thing out.
That free ultrasound for her is paid for by you.
It's twenty eight dollars. That's what it costs Preborn to
give her that free ultrasound. When she hears the heartbeat,
she chooses life. Let's put our money where our morals are.
We are supposed to be the hands and feet. This
(16:04):
is how we do it. Preborn dot com slash Jesse.
All right, preborn dot com slash Jesse sponsored by Preborn
gets to maybe an email or two before we get
on to Dan here. I've had enough, Merit Garland. I
can't do the voice. And look, maybe maybe I'm just
being mean, maybe I'm cold hearted, but when you're Merit Garland,
(16:29):
you're an older man, heir. They certainly got a crown
of gray hair, and there's I'm not insulting that I
got all kinds of gray going on over here. I'm
not insulting that at all. I'm not an insult to gray.
Go gray, But you've had a lifetime to work on
your voice. And don't tell me he's not aware. He's
(16:51):
aware of his voice. What Chris, what? What do you mean?
What's he supposed to do? Don't act like you can't.
Let me see where's the best one.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
We will not be intimidated.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Yeah, that's we will do our jobs free from outside influence.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I remember the one where you almost started crying. What
do you mean? What's he supposed to do? I can't
believe you said that, Chris. Dudes can change the tone
of their voice. Everyone can. You can go ah loan
and whatnot. You can start smoking cigarettes if I look,
if I, if I sounded like this.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
We will not be intimidated.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'm not pro smoking, but it's gonna be a two
pack a day Marlboro Red habit for me until that changes.
What Chris, you can change the scared girl wobble whiskey
and cigarettes. Let's get a little gravel out there out
of the Attorney General. I want to feel it when.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Hens we apply the same laws to every.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Listen to this a smoke. Somebody get Merrick Garland, a
carton of Marlboro Reds and some Jim Beam, and we're
gonna fix this thing quick fast and in a hurry.
He's gonna sound like John Wayne here in about a week.
All right, Maybe we'll ask Dan about that. Maybe we won't.
I don't know. I was supposed to get to some emails,
(18:07):
but I didn't end up doing that because I'm irresponsible.
We're gonna talk to Dan Bongino, and after Dan, I'll
probably take some calls and emails and fun stuff. Eight
seven seven three seven seven four three seven three Hang on,
Jesse Kelly, it is that Jesse Kelly show and joining me.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You know, you never know exactly which title you want
to give somebody when they join you, but this one
it was easy. It's it's easy gigantic failure. Dan Bongino
joins me. Now you may obviously know him as someone
who's been plastered all over your television and radio forever,
but you wrote a book about failing.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
What's your problem? Why?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah? I love is great. I love that intro doing you.
You're awesome man. You know, I love you so good
to be on with you on your show by the rest,
so glad. You're so honest too, which I love you.
Reach out and you're like, dude, you got a book out.
You know, you were on my show about your bo
You're like, you want to come sell a few copies.
I love a bit guy like you're so honestly that
(19:16):
you have this brutal sense of honesty. I think that's
why your audience loves you. Man. But yeah, I wrote
this book called The Gift of Failure, and uh, really
it's kind of like the anti self help book, because Jesse,
I'm kind of a guy like you, like I don't
like phonies and fakes, and you and I are in
this business. We both do basically the same thing, pod
(19:36):
digital radio kind of stuff, and we'll both degree right,
ninety percent of people are full of crap and phony sprauds, right,
I think it's a pretty fair enough We're probably being
generous at nineties, probably more You're You're not one of
those guys. So I don't like books about people telling
everyone how great they are. Look at me the Dan
Bongino twelve Step to Success program and I'm so wonderful
(19:58):
And that's so almost slipped that that's all BS. So
I said to myself, I think I'm going to write
a book that's like anti cell help, Like every single
embarrassing thing I screwed up to let people know that
if some you know, diplod like me can get a
national radio show and you know, do what I did,
(20:20):
then what's your excuse. I have no natural talents. I'm
not that smart. I'm definitely not good looking. I mean,
my bones are falling apart. I'm all our credits, I'm
not athletic, and I've done okay, so you have no excuse.
So that's what that was. That's where the book started.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
No, I'm glad you started there, Dan, And I'm glad
you wrote the book, obviously speaking with Dan Bongino, because
I know you get this too, brother. I get these
I get so many emails from men of any age.
I was going to say young men, but of any age,
and they're so down on themselves. You know, I suck.
I've screwed this up. I've screwed that up. I've screwed
this up. And I really just get this sense from
(20:58):
men and women that they think other people I have
perfect lives and they're the only screw ups. And I've
tried to explain to people it's that's not quite the case.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
No, No, and you know, last night I'm doing a
book signing, and we thought we expected like one hundred
and fifty people because it was around my neighborhood and
everybody kind of knows me. I'm just like, you know,
I'm just one of the neighbors. Like I go to
publics and can't say, you know, we eat like everything,
like nothing. There's nothing different about us, you know. So
I figured on hundred fifty deer, so five hundred people
showed up. So I was there at like nine thirty
(21:28):
at night from five o'clock, and I got to tell
you I've done the radio show on a podcast, so
my voice was completely gone. I was just I couldn't talk,
and I run into the sky walking out, and I
think God sent them. I mean it, God sends messengers,
and I'm telling you I think God sent them. I'm
walking out and just being candid because I'm not going
to fake the funk. That's an end. That's an end
(21:49):
for the sec SEC people out there. I was ready
to kind of just walk and say, sir, I'm really sorry,
but I got to run. I knew he wanted to
take yourselfie and stuff, and he stopped and he said,
I was in the pen for eighteen years, and I
instantly stopped because I've got a soft spot in my
heart for people who've been in the pen and have
(22:09):
done time. Not because I condone criminality, but because I
understand that, you know, people can change and repent. And
Jesus Christ himself gave a guy to the right of
him on the cross and said, I'll see you in heaven.
So what's in my business? And I stopped, and I
spent a good five minutes with this guy. He was
an older guy talking about how he trewed everything up
(22:29):
and he found some inspiration. And on my show he
didn't say the book I didn't even know. He didn't
thing he knew ahead of it. He listened to my
show on the radio and he was just in this
Barnes and Noble and Brother. I got to tell you,
I was totally taken aback. And I said to my wife,
of all the things I've done today, that guy was
by far the most impactful. I mean really, he says
(22:50):
we fail, we fail a lot, And the books are
really kind of candid, sometimes embarrassing take on. It was
never meant to be a memoir because nobody gives a
damn about my life. But in the end, I think
it speaks a lot to leadership, you know, because you
and I like to mess around a lot on the
lake and radio. But you know, you were in a military,
I was in a Secret Service. Man, you screw up,
people died, that's it. You screw up like people are dead.
(23:13):
That's just the way it rolls. And in the end,
you know, after embarrassingly laying out things I screwed up
in the NYPD, the Secret Service, running for office and
getting crushed, cussing out reporters and everything else, at the
end of the book, I kind of tie it all together.
And I think that's the part people have really kind
of really enjoyed the most, is in the last chapter
(23:33):
where I really kind of tie it all together.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Dan cussing out reporters is by far and my favorite
thing about you. But we'll set that aside for a minute,
because I obviously we need to talk about briefly the
news of the day. Okay, Merrick Garland's a snake. This
is nothing you don't know, and this is nothing you
obviously don't educate your audience on every single day. Everyone
knows all this, We know all the problems, we talk
about all the problems. Sometimes it can feel a little
overwhelming for normal people. Dan when you look at just
(23:59):
how and corrupt it all is, give me some hope.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I can. I mean, I'm not here to g I'm
here to give you a don't say Ippi cac so
you throw off all this stuff. I'm not here. The
guys say to me last night, I'm really glad you
tell us the truth so we know what we're fighting.
I mean, evil's evil. You know, Evil's not like. Evil's
not like, oh gosh, maybe we'll lose the next election
and the evil goes away. But I say to people,
(24:26):
all right, I will give you hope. You know I
shouldn't say, because I will give you a little bit
of hope. I'm long on America to get that a lot.
Merck Garland's absolutely corrupt. The treatment of the Biden crime
family versus the Trump family is obviously on its faith.
Uh it just near it's criminal in and of itself.
It's not blind justice. It's only blind to Democrats. But
I say to folks all the time, this is not
(24:47):
an excuse to give up. I mean, our jesse were listen,
then we're the softest generation. I'm not indicting anyone in
the audience I'm talking about we are our grandparents grew
up in the Great Depression. You know, they fought in
World War T with like battle rashes. It tasted like
cardboard more was far more brutal. Back then. We didn't
have any of the advanced surgical procedures we had now.
(25:10):
I mean, I got an uncle who was you know,
shot in the back in through duck Vietnam, got the
Bronze Star with a v device for valor trying to
save his friend. So what's my excuse? Like, Oh, they
cheat and election, Yeah, they cheat, So how we're going
to fix it? So how are we going to fix it?
So the best thing I can tell people is the
best thing you can do is make your bed first,
(25:31):
clean up your you know Jordan Peterson right there in
his book, and he's right, clean up your local school
boards and communities. Get involved locally first, and then start
working your way up to chain, because that's how we're
going to take America back, one school board, one city
council at a time. It happens, it can happen. The
Left did it to us, and we can return to favor.
But there's no giving up. I mean, what are you
(25:52):
gonna do. You don't like Merica, Carl, You're gonna move
to Canada, Like good luck with Justin Trudeau, Like have
fun with that. So we got country to say. As
my friend Jinny Thomas says, you're the leaders we've been
waiting for. Don't wait for someone else. You do it.
I did it. I want rant for office. I got crushed,
I got humiliated. I did it two more times, so
(26:13):
I don't I'm sorry. I don't want to hear anyone's excuses. Eh,
you know my ankle hearts. I don't want to vote.
That's that's bull Get out and vote. I don't want
to hear it. I've knocked on seven thousand doors running
for office in a blue state. I lost one by
twenty points. You know one I lost close, it doesn't matter,
it's still lost. Yeah, go out save centry.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I have a two time election loser myself, Dan. Maybe
that's why we both get along. I've got the brother.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Is seriously man Between you, me and Hegsath, we've lost
like forty seven elections, and it's to him. We dust
it off and we came back. Peach running Fox and Fred.
You're nationally syndicated six to nine. I'm syndicated twelve to three.
Like I said, the gift of failure. That's why I
wrote the book.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
The book is the gift of failure. He is Dan Bongino.
And you know, obviously, you know very well I do
not bring people on. I hardly ever have guests period
on my show. Dan is always welcome. Go read a
book and find out that you're not some horrible failure,
You're not some screw up in life. Tomorrow maybe when
(27:18):
it happens for you. Go read it. Dan, Where do
you want people to go get this thing?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh cool? Anywhere online or in the bookstore. I'm not
a big fan, and he's big tech monsters, so you know,
Barnesondoble dot com is probably the best place to go.
But of course it's you know, on Amazon all these
other stuff. But I hate them, so you know, I
probably should do better promotion, but I don't give a
damn about that. I hate those animals.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
They suck, So that's okay.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I think that's why he's Dan Bongino. The book is
the gift of failure. He's one of the few genuine
good people in this business. He's my boy, Thank you,
my brother. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Thanks brother, talk to you soon. You're good.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Thanks, man, appreciate you. Dan's good people.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You always wonder if that guy you hear behind the
mic on TV is a legitimate person. Much of the
time they are not. Dan is the gift of failure
a cool idea for a book. Look, I might have
written that book had I ever failed at anything at all. What, Chris,
I can't write a book. That's blank. Shut up. Maybe
(28:25):
you're failing right now. Maybe you're failing to go get
your per Cow sheets from my pillow. If you have
sheets on your bed and there's sheets you didn't get
at my pillow, you should write your own book about
failure because you're failing at sleep, especially when per Cow
sheets are fifty percent off the queen size. They're normally
(28:46):
eighty nine ninety eight. Right now they're thirty five bucks.
Wait a minute, let me do the math on that.
That's more than fifty percent off. Sorry, I do radio,
not math. Per Cow sheets MyPillow dot com click on
the radio listener special square used to promo code Jesse
Queen size thirty five bucks, twin size twenty five bucks.
(29:07):
Go get the best sheets ever. Go get a couple
sets my pillow dot com promo code Jesse or call
eight hundred eight four five zero five four four. We
will be back and I may take some of your calls.
Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three
truth attitude, Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(29:34):
on a Wednesday. I feel like that's twice tonight that
my voice is almost cracked coming back. I don't know
what's going on. There's like a like a have I
been smoking? No, Chris, I have not been smoking. Maybe
I should start. Maybe that's God telling me it's time
to take up smoking. Of course it is shut up
and focus, all right. Eight seven seven three seven seven
(29:58):
four three seven. We do have a bit of breaking news.
This happened like five while I was talking to Dan.
This just went down. And you know me, I have
a duty as a journalist to bring you the news.
It's journalist Jesse. There's just no one better. We love Jesse.
He's the best. Yesse, Please kiss my baby, Yesie, Jesse. Jesse.
(30:22):
Jessey Jessey. You see there's this Air Force general. He
once had an article written for him written about him
in Defense one and this was the title of the
article inside the Air Force Chiefs Mission for Racial Equity.
That's the article, and the Senate five minutes ago just
(30:45):
got done voting that gentleman will be the next Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the big cheese in
the United States Military. And maybe you're sitting there saying, Wow,
that sucks. We don't have this Senate. If we'd only
taken back the Senate with Republicans, we would have had
a better one. Oh, would you like to hear the
(31:08):
few Senators who voted no? Because the vote I think
it was eighty six to eleven. If I remember a
seven to eleven, I don't know. I was looking right
before that. Here's the only Republicans who voted no. Braun Cruz,
Holly Johnson, Lee Loomis, Marshall, Rubio, Schmidt, Vance, and Tubberville
(31:29):
the only ones who tried to stop the next Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs from being yet another diversity higher
for the military, yet another person who's going to focus
on everything but the mission. And we wonder, we wonder
why recruiting is down. Well, the guys who've been fighting
(31:53):
your wars for you and winning your wars for you,
they don't want to hear about that stuff of any color.
Of any color, doesn't matter your color. You're an adventurous
young man, seeking dangers, seeking to better yourself, serve your country,
maybe tough en up a little bit. You don't join
for that crap. But I don't worry. It's not like
we're in the middle is trying to fight World War
(32:13):
three here anyway, let's get back eight seven seven three
seven seven four three seven three Mary Idaho, go.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Our bosses.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
And I just love that. And I'm the whole concept
of failure. I mean, I was a single mom and
I raised two warrior sons in Iraq and Afghanistan and
have an active duty son in law. And it's hard,
but it's easy when you think that that's what you
need to do. How do we get new parents to
(32:49):
not be afraid to do that, to just think that
they're not failing their children by letting them serve in
the military.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, here's a I get this question a lot about
new parents. Hey, Jesse, why won't new parents do this?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Why?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Why won't new parents discipline their kids? Why won't new
parents stop them from doing this? Why do parents allow
this these days? And you know. I don't do the
generational generalizations. Now every every boomer was a loser and
Gen X was great. I think that's ridiculous. Every generation
has wonderful people and bad people. I will only say
(33:26):
this about parenting eight seven seven three seven seven four
three seven three A lot of parenting, because parenting can
be difficult. Although it's the greatest thing in the world,
the best thing in the world, it can be difficult.
A lot of parenting is self confidence, and a lot
of parents today don't have any because we live in
the social media realm where they've lived their lives on
social media and now you have a kid and you
(33:47):
don't have the confidence for a lot of this stuff.
And also she mentioned her kids going off to the
military and getting tough and things like that. Parents want
what's best for their kids. They want their what they
want their children to be safe, and that's understandable, but
especially with boys who turn into young men, young men
have to experience some level of danger or they'll never
(34:09):
become the kind of men that are worth anything. Just
the way it is. Dan Colorado go, Jay Jersey go.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
I have two claps, two things I want to say, Jesse.
I think us quick. Number One, I wish you were
on Fox Moore. You know, I know you used to
go and Tucker from time to time, and I just
wish I would see somebody on there speaking some sense.
And number two, I just want to know about what
you're paying. I know you're highly skeptical of Eva Gramaswami,
(34:48):
and I fully I get that, But I want to
know if you think that he's a complete charlatan, or
maybe he has an opportunity later on in the game,
you know, one day yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Eight seven seven three seven four three seven three. I'm
not gonna voice all my opinions again on Vivek. I've
told you I've done that. I've did it once or twice,
and I just don't need to dwell on it. He's
your guy, that's fine. I've told you my opinion on him.
Do I think he's a complete charlatan or does he
have some uh maybe a future. Here's here's what I
(35:22):
believe overall. This is what I believe from people I
talk to, this is what I think. I think he's
wildly charismatic, incredibly sharp, and incredibly ambitious. Everybody I know
who knows him says the same thing. Ambitious, ambitious, incredibly ambitious,
and there's nothing wrong with ambition, right, you should have it.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
I have it.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I hope you have ambitions for life, whatever those ambitions
may be. I just when you combine absurdly ambitious with
brand new positions that you and I would like that
are different from positions he had a year ago. We're
not talking about how it's since his childhood. A year ago,
he had different positions. I am so distrustful of all
(36:05):
these people. Anyway, I'm out. But that does not mean
he's the antichrist. And maybe he really is something special,
and maybe at some point in time he will be
a leader for the right. I'm not dismissing it totally,
and I don't know. All hey, maybe he really maybe
he really has it. Something smells there for me. All right,
(36:25):
we have an entire hour. You ready for another hour?
Let's talk about anti affirmative action emails, some more calls
eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three,
emergency food supplies. We're gonna talk about that in the
last hour too. Now, why will we be discussing such
a thing. Oh, I don't know, Because I've heard starving
to death is miserable and when you combine that with
(36:47):
the fact that the FED came out today and they
essentially said, well, we're not raising rates, but remember that
whole soft landing thing. Did he hear that? He said,
remember that whole soft landing thing. Yeah, ah, I wouldn't
hold out for that. Chairman said it today. Get some food.
My Patriot Supply has three month foodkits prepped and ready
(37:08):
to send to you. They ship fast and free and anonymously,
and you need to keep it that way. Get it
and stash it just in case. All right, right now,
they're twenty five percent off. Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot
com is where you get them. So go get them.
Prepare with Jessekelly dot com. Prepare with Jesse Kelly dot com.
(37:29):
Another hour begins in a minute.
