This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Let's have some fun on a Tuesday. And it was
a rambunctious Tuesday, a very revealing Tuesday. Today. Yes, the
Pete hag Seth confirmation hearing was today. It's confirmation week.
We got Bondy coming. There's there's gonna be a whole
(00:41):
lot of that, so get ready for that. What else
are we going to talk about tonight? We're gonna talk
about war with China. Seventy Americans. American parents don't want
the training stuff in school, so why do we have
it in school? Jack Smith dropped the law fair, but
Arizona's Attorney general picked it up. Why California Democrats are
(01:02):
asking fifty million dollars to protect illegals? Canada is all
of a sudden coming around on buying more things from US.
And two hundred and fifty Africans have officially taken over
a French theater and it's hilarious. All that emails, voicemails
and so much more coming up tonight on the world
(01:22):
famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now I want to begin. This
is going to be about the Pete Hegseth thing. But
let me tell you why I'm such a supporter of it,
not just of him. This does not only apply to him.
It applies to so many of the nominees Trump has
(01:43):
put up. And last time, Look, everyone who listens knows
I'm more than willing to blast away when I disagree
with Trump. Last time, his nominees were embarrassing, horrible. Rex Tillerson,
You've got to be freaking kidding me. This time, I'm
blown away impressed. I am so impressed. But why why
(02:05):
am I so on board with Pete Hegseth or Tulca Gabbert.
He's a career democrat. I have all kinds of disagreements
with her RFK same thing. Why am I supportive of this?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Beat us Howard's football season. I'll explain it this way.
If there's this incredible football team and they have been
winning consistently, over it, over it, over it over again,
make the playoffs every year, flirt with the National Championship,
super Bowl every year, well, it would be insane for
(02:40):
someone to step in and say, hey, this whole coaching staff,
our whole philosophy here, we're getting rid of it. There's
this high school coach he's in Wisconsin. He's got this
really weird, quirky offense. We're dumping our coaching staff and
we're gonna bring in this high school guy, and what
it's gonna go crazy? Nobody would support that. Why you're
(03:02):
already winning, things are going well. You don't upset the
apple cart. When things are going well, keep going that way.
But vice versa. Let's say there's a team that's been
losing over and over and over and over again, year
after year after year after year, loss loss, loss, loss. Well,
(03:26):
once you experience that for long enough, then it's time
to take some chances and shake things up. Maybe that
quirky high school coach from Wisconsin comes in and falls
flat on his face. But you don't have the option
(03:47):
to continue the way you've gone. That's not an option.
So it's time to roll the dice and take some chances.
When it comes to Pete Hegseth r fk Junior Tall,
Sie Gabbard at their person I could keep going down
the list. Are they different? Sure, of course they're different,
(04:08):
much different than they have been. Does that make them worse? Well,
I don't know. I don't know yet. You don't know yet.
I think Pete hag Seth is a very very capable
human being, and I expect him to do very well.
But maybe he won't. Maybe he'll fall flat on his face.
Maybe it'll be a disaster. Maybe maybe I don't think so,
(04:30):
but maybe. But no matter what, we cannot continue on
the way we have been going as a military. We
have so much cultural rot in the military system in
this country. I am doubtful even Pete hag Seth can
fix it in just four years. We have become so
(04:53):
top heavy. Listen to this. You want to talk about revealing.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
We won World War Two with seven four star generals.
Today we forty four for star generals. There's an inverse
relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield.
We don't need more bureaucracy at the top. We need
more warfighters and power at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
We have a military run from the bloated bureaucracy. Now
everybody gets their four stars. Along with those four stars,
everybody gets a lucrative contract with a defense contractor. On
the way out the door, Washington politicians, I've got some
inside information for you there. I'll get to that in
a moment. Washington politicians gets a campaign on being tough
(05:37):
on national defense, and oh, I love the military, Look
support our troops, Look how much I love America. The
politicians win, the generals win, America doesn't win in the
men on the ground most definitely do not win. The
men on the ground had to suffer through a twenty
year global war on Terror where embarrassing general after embarrassing
(05:59):
general took over both theaters, accomplished absolutely nothing, and then
sailed off into the sunset with a multimillion dollar defense
contractor contract. And the men and women on the ground
are left without legs, without their lives, without their friends,
without their sanity, And this simply cannot continue anymore, especially
(06:20):
in the face of a potential war with China. Here's
a headline for you, war in two years. It's from
PJ Media, China talking about twenty twenty seven as the
year they take Taiwan China. Here's from Naval News, China
suddenly building a fleet of special barges suitable for Taiwan landings.
(06:47):
You don't build craft to land on the shore unless
you're planning on landing on the shore. We have luxuriated
here in the United States of America for most of
our existence now. If you're old enough, and I realize
we have some people who are this old who listen
(07:10):
to the show, you're old enough to remember Japanese warships
firing on America in California, off the coast of California.
That happened in World War two. Nothing significant, no huge damage,
not a great loss of life, so most people don't
know about it. If you're old enough, you're old enough
to know about Nazi U boats. You can see them
(07:34):
from the ports in New York City. There was a
time in this country when Americans understood and appreciated that
power can come visit you now, where you are, wherever
you happen to be. But because we won World War
Two and we've had all this time, I realized Cold
(07:55):
War stuff. But we've had so much time where look
we're and even the global War on Terror, i'mless sure
one of the ones actually over there fighting and bleeding
and dying. It's not that big of a deal, right,
I mean, the gee hotties, Yeah, they might drive through
a crowd of people on Bourbon Street because they are
a bunch of demonic savages, but they're not gonna come
(08:16):
take over America. They're not going to come do anything
crazy like that. All who cares. We'll go blow some
of them up in Afghanistan and we'll call it a day.
And where that's gotten us is a military that has
run from the bureaucracy, As I said, a military so
full of filth. Listen to this is.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My Secretary of the Navy, should I be confirmed, Sir,
will not be focused on climate change in the Navy,
just like the Secretary of.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Air Force won't be focused on.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
LG powered fighter jets, or the Secretary of the Army
will not be focused on electric powered tanks.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Those aren't just one liner's Pete had planned. That's happening
right now in the United States military. We are rotting.
And the point I have tried to make over and
over and over again is you can't make people care
about the rot in the military. You can't really make
people care until it's too late, meaning you can't it's
(09:19):
hard to get I know you care. I'm not talking
about you, but it's hard to get norm and Norma
on board with caring about military rot because they don't
see it. You almost sound like some kind of right
wing conspiracy theorist. I'll take the tenfoil off your head
until one day you wake up and you find out
a carrier group is at the bottom of the Pacific
(09:39):
Ocean and you've lost five thousand sailors. And that's when
Norman Norma wake up and look around and say, how
did this happen? How could we done? What happened? What
happened was over the course of decades, our military has
become painted rust a disaster in every possible way. And
(10:02):
what we need is a huge shakeup. And this will
apply to way more than just Pete Hagseth r FK Junior.
I have all kinds of problems with things RFK Junior
has said and still says, and things like that. But
our pharmaceutical industry, our FDA needs shaken up. To put
it mildly, get in there and start shaking. Taulci Gabbard,
(10:23):
I want to see her shake it, shake it up
big time. I want to see you. I want to
see you purchase of Berna. That's what I want from you,
because I want you to live. Berna. The burn a launcher,
it's it's non lethal, so it's legal in all fifty
states California, but Jessee. I'm in New York. The legal
(10:44):
in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you
don't need a background check. SWAT teams across the country
are carrying burner launchers. Did you know that it has
pepper ball rounds or tear gas rounds or kinetic rounds.
The kinetic rounds are just these hard plastic ones. Oh
my god, they hurt sixty foot range, one shot, incapacitating
(11:05):
attacker for up to forty minutes. Oh you're worried about
not being able to hit him, But I'm scared, Jesse.
I'll be scared. Shoot the ground in front of him.
These things are amazing. They save lives, and you can
own one, carry one in your car, on your nightstand,
on your person. That daughter you send away to college
needs one. Your son, he's up there in the oil fields,
(11:27):
he needs one. B y Rna Berna dot com slash
Jesse gets you ten percent off and they partnered with
the American Red Cross. Berna will be donating ten percent
of all proceeds from purchases on Berna dot com through
the twenty first that'll be going to those affected by
(11:49):
the fires. How about that Berna dot Com slash Jesse
will be bad. Did Jesse Kelly Show It's still real
to me? Dammit, the tarns down. It is the Jesse
Kelly's Show on what Well. I guess we're going to
call it confirmation week on a Tuesday night. Remember that
sounds very official. Christ, No, it does. That sounds like
(12:12):
something a journalist would come up with.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's journalist, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It's confirmation week here on the Jesse Kelly Show. I
sound so official. Remember you can email the show love hate,
death threats, ask doctor Jesse questions. You can email all
those in to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Back
to the Pete hegg Seth performance today.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Standards will be high and they will be equal, not equitable, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
A very different word.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
We need to make sure every warrior is fully qualified
on their assigned weapons system, every pilot's fully qualified and
current on the aircraft they are flying.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And every general or flag.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Officer is selected for leadership or promotion purely based on performance,
readiness and merit.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Jewish producer Chris during that SoundBite, asked a question that
I was already planning on answering. He leaned into the
mic and he said, are they not when Pete Hegseth
is talking about how everybody needs to be qualified on
the weapon system that they're assigned to. Let me explain
something that has happened in our military when I was
(13:29):
in when I was in mortars, I'm going to do
a back in my day thing. It's not that I
was any kind of a great marine at all. Like
I've told you many times before, I redefined the word average.
It was just an average grunt marine for four years.
I'm certainly nothing special at all. But our weapon systems,
we were always always going out on shoots with our
(13:55):
weapon system. We were in twenty nine Pomps and we
hated him, of course, because it's no fun. You have
to leave the barracks. You got to go out. You're
going out in the field. You're fighting the scorpions, The
foods crappy, So we're always complaining, but that's part of
being a marine. But we were always out there shooting, constantly, shooting, constantly,
shooting over and over and over and over and over again.
(14:16):
And then when we weren't shooting, we were practicing for
the shooting. Drill after drill after drill, and you can't
imagine how fast you get over and over and over
and over and over again without end. Today, with leadership
focused on so many other things, they don't get that
kind of training. Pete mentioned the pilots here. This is
(14:36):
what really perked up Chris.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Is standards will be high and they will be equal.
Not equitable, that's a very different word. We need to
make sure every warrior is fully qualified.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
On their assigned weapon system.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Every pilot's fully qualified and current on the aircraft they
are flying.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Are they not? No?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Not.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
This comes back to Look, we've been having this discussion
when it comes to the California wildfires. You remember what
that show was with the theme of it was I
talked about how we're used to certain things. It's human
nature to get used to the way things are. We're
in America. We're a modern country. We have plenty of everything.
(15:23):
Surely the fire hydrants will have water in them when
the fires come. When it comes to the military, well,
we're America.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
We won two World Wars. We have the best military
in the world. Our pilots all know what they're doing
right right, No, they do not. Multiple pilot friends of
mine tell me the training hours have simply been scaled
(15:52):
back to what they have told me doesn't even qualify
as the bare minimum budget cuts different focus. But hours
in the air for a pilot. I'm not a pilot,
so I can only go on what they tell me.
For a fighter.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Pilot, hours in the air are everything you really really you.
World War two buffs will know this. Did you ever
read a book about any parts of the air war?
In World War Two? What determined your victory over who
you were facing was oftentimes not who had the superior plane.
(16:34):
It was almost always who had the most hours in
the air. It's the hours in the air that make
the difference. I was talking to someone I know very
very well, and he is one of these super hot
pilot types, top gun types. He would kill me if
you ever heard me describe him like that. But he's
(16:55):
one of these super hot top gun types. And he
was describing you know, we were talking about of course,
I'm asking nerd out questions the way you would ask
I'm asking about dog fights and fighting other pilots. And
he said, Jesse, you know what, the difference is less
than a quarter of a second. Most of the time.
Who is that much faster, that much more reactive. That's
(17:20):
the difference between the guy who comes home and the
guy who doesn't. Our pilots don't fly anymore, cutting back
on fuel, cutting back on this again. You're not used
to that, America. I'm not used to that, America. But
while we were hiring a bunch of new generals and
blowing a bunch more money on the new drag show
dance on the air Force base, the pilots have been grounded.
(17:43):
They don't get time in the sky. And that brings
me to the last point about the promotions.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
And every general or flag officer is selected for leadership
or promotion purely based on performance, readiness, and merit.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Again, back touishes, back to quishes, back to Chris's question,
are they not? No, they're not. DEI is more than
something that just affects the local university of yours. It
has infected the United States Military like a cancer, and
(18:21):
it is at stage four when it comes to the
officer corps. And there are a couple different reasons for this.
The first reason is officers get sent into the university system,
and many of the pipeline universities where we're sending officers
to get their degree before they become officers, are some
(18:43):
of the most communist universities in the country. So even
if you have some squared away, patriotic eighteen year old
joining the army, you send him off to Lenin's training
camp for four years, and when he comes back to
the army, oh yeah, he still wants to be in
the army, but he kind of thinks this America place
sucks and these white people suck, and we're not near
(19:06):
gay enough around here. And he gets those officer stripes
on him and he goes to work. That's one aspect
of it, but there are other parts of it, which
we'll get into in a moment. Hang on feeling a
little stocky, Follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse
Kelly DC. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Will try
(19:28):
to wrap up the Pete hagg says stuff. I may
or may not be able to do that during this
segment of her just talking about a couple of things.
If Pete talks, I'm not going to play it for
you again about how people will only get promoted based
on performance, and I explained already why that doesn't happen.
In part. Part of the reason it doesn't happen is
the officer corps. A bunch of people filtered through America's
(19:49):
university system, and as we've seen from voting patterns over
and over and over and over again, whether or not
you turn out to be a communist oftentimes is determined
by whether or not you've gone into an American university.
If you've walked into an American university and been educated
there for four or five six years, you oftentimes come
(20:09):
out the other side to the left of Mau sa Dung.
If you can manage to avoid that communist training camp,
you'll oftentimes be sane, happier, and many times wealthier. So
make that choice carefully for your children, if you will.
Back to beat hegseeth and back to how and why
people get promoted. You see, when an organization from the
(20:33):
top gets corrupted and sent in the wrong direction, oftentimes
it's not just evil communists who are only promoting people
based on DEI stuff and things like that. It's the guy.
Maybe he even wants to do the right thing, but
he's got a career, you see. So we'll make it
(20:54):
about me. Let's say I'm I'm a colonel, I'm a fulberger.
Let's say and let's say I don't have any time
for all this DEI garbage. I'm not all about that,
but I've got I've got sixteen years in the United
States Marine Corps. I am living my dream. I have
(21:15):
wanted to be a colonel. I want to be a
general one day. I want to be a career guy
in the United States Marine Corps. And the Biden administration
takes over and they start pushing the Kami filth really really,
really hard to where I've had to sit into seminar
after seminar after seminar about how oppressed black people are
(21:38):
in the military and how we need more gaye if
we're going to be able to defeat the enemy. And
it comes time where I have to decide who the
next lieutenant colonel under me is going to be. And
I have a choice to make. You see, I have
two candidates. One of them he's a straight white dude.
(22:04):
The other one is a gay white dude. Then not
say the straight white dude is even more qualified. He's
better in every way, a better marine in every way.
I could promote him, that would be the right thing
to do, But my general has made it very very
very clear to me that we are supposed to gay
this place up as much as humanly possible. So see,
(22:29):
I want to be a general, I want to get promoted.
If I just if I just go ahead and promote
the gay guy, then it's not going to leave any
bad marks on my record in my career gets saved. Now.
You can yell and scream like you probably are in
the radio, but they should be doing what's best for
(22:50):
the country. I agree, but you and I both understand
how it really works. Many, I could argue, most human
beings do what's better for themselves first and foremost. Mark Millie,
remember his comments? Why would he talk like this?
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I do think it's important actually for those of us
in uniform to be open minded and be widely read.
In the United States Military Academy is a university, uh,
and it is important that we train and we understand
and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white
and I want to understand it.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Why would he say that? He doesn't actually think that,
he doesn't believe that, But why would he get up
and say that? Because that's how you maintain that wonderful
system membership card that guarantees as soon as you're done
as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, you will be a
fabulously wealthy man working for defense contractors, liaising between them
(23:51):
and Congress to ensure billions and billions and billions of
dollars of tax payer money continue to flow back, and
it becomes self interest to promote whatever the next DEI
guy is. But the end result of that is it
happens over and over and over and over and over again,
(24:12):
and this branch and that branch, and this branch and
that branch, and this department in that department and that department.
The end result is, well, you see how LA handled
a wildfire. The end result is you have a United
States military that doesn't know how to fight wars anymore
because you didn't promote people based on who fought the
best war, on who had the best strategy, on who
(24:32):
had the highest marks. You just promoted people based on
the minorities or do we have enough women, or do
we have enough gaze. You do that for long enough,
your military will be hollowed out. And that's the challenge
we face here. Now, let's go on and make fun
of some Democrats, shall we hear? Is Pete versus Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
You're quite sure that every general who serves should not
go directly into the defense industry for ten years. But
you're not willing to make that same pledge.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm not a general senator.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Pretty well done. Of course, Gillibrand had to get hurt
soundbites in. I guess I'll just call him sound bites. Okay, first,
remember these things. For the most part, for Democrats, everything
you're gonna hear all week is theater. Let me pause
before I get to Gillibrand. Let me explain. They told
(25:32):
you what you've already probably heard. It looks like all
of Trump's nominees are going to go through, and I've
talked to several multiple senators who've told me that I
think they're all going to get confirmed. I think they're
all going to get confirmed. That tells me the votes
have already been whipped. They're gonna get confirmed. So if
you're a Democrat, you have to fight one of two
(25:53):
different ways. With Kavanaugh. The reason we all everyone who
was paying attention to politics, the reason we all remember
the Kavanaugh hearings, we all remember how vicious they were,
how truly truly nasty they were, and how long it
went on. Well that was because they genuinely thought they
could stop it. Democrats believed they could put a stop
(26:17):
to Kavanaugh, and they came very close. They were one
vote away from stopping it. Told you that story before
they almost did stop it. What you're seeing and what
you will see all week. He saw it today with
Pete egg Seth is not them actually trying to stop it.
What you're seeing is them trying to get promoted. This
(26:39):
is fundraising week for Democrats, So do yourself a favor.
Don't get angry about the crazy, evil, horrible things you'll
see Democrats say this week. They're not saying it to
try to stop anybody. They're not necessarily saying it to
(27:02):
smear the person they're asking questions of. They're saying it
because they want that sound bite on MSNBC. They want
the sound bite to go viral. They want a SoundBite
to attach to the latest fundraising email. Help Senator Gillibrand
put us stop that Trump's radical Nazi agenda. Send me
(27:22):
fifty dollars. I'll make it happen. That's what all this
is about. It is Democrat fundraising week. Remember that when
these people were nutboled.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
But most recently, you said this in November of twenty
twenty four, knowing full well you might have been named.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
As Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
So please explain these types of statements because they're brutal
and they're mean.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
She's talking about Pete Hegseth's statements that women shouldn't be
in frontline combat rules, which of course they should not be,
but they're mean. This is exactly why, this is exactly
why you nutball should be there. They're brutal and they're made.
(28:06):
Oh you have it, Chris, go ahead, good.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I'm straight up just saying we should not have women
in combat roles. It hasn't made us more effective, hasn't
made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We've all served with women and they're great.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
It just our institutions don't have to incentivize that in
places where traditionally, not traditionally over human history, men in
those positions are more capable.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
They're brutal, and they're mean. We'll continue along with a
little bit of that number.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I want to talk about some other things that i'd
get to emails. Remember you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. You're always bugging me, well,
not about half of you were always bugging me. I
want more history, more history, more history, because you know
I'm a history nerd myself. Well, what if I could
give you some free history courses free ones Hillsdale College.
(29:00):
You already know about Hillsdale, the institution out there where
your young son or daughter won't get destroyed. We all
want our kids to go to Hillsdale. But the truth
is we can all go to Hillsdale. They're offering more
than forty free online courses. What about rise and Fall
the Roman Empire? The meaning of the US Constitution? What
(29:23):
about the Book of Genesis the stories in there? Do
you want education on these things? How about no cost
education when you go to Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse
and enroll. There's no cost over forty free classes online.
It's for you, it's for me, it's for everybody. They
(29:45):
want everyone to have this knowledge. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse.
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show on air and
online at Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show, having all kinds of fun with the PTE
egg Seth confirmation hearings today, not going to spend the
(30:07):
entire show on that. We'll try to wrap it up here,
move on to what's going on with the law fair stuff.
Why do we have all the tranny stuff in school
when seventy five percent of American parents rejected wildfired talk.
Canada's finally getting on board. All that and more is
still to come on the show. Let's go back to
Senator Gillibrand yelling and screaming and making an idiot of herself. Remember,
(30:32):
because there's no mystery. There's no suspense, at least from
what I hear about the nominees getting through. Democrats have
nothing but fundraising this week. All this is fundraising. This
Senator gillibrand her people already have this typed up I
guarantee it and an I am woman, hear me, roar email.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
And in all of these other circumstances, you've denigrated active
duty service members. We have hundreds, hundreds of women who
are currently in the infantry, lethal members of our military service.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, lethal members. I can already see everyone carrying their
packs for them as we spring.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
In the infantry. But you degrade them. You say we
need moms, but not in the military, especially in combat units.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, women should not be in infantry rules, but you
know that'll sound good. This guy he didn't know what
Pete hegseeth was talking about when he used the term
jag off.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
By the way, would you explain what a jag off is?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Look in the mirror, senator. Now, I'll let him keep going.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
By the way, would you explain what a jag off is?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I don't think I need you, sir. Why not because
the men and women watching understand.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Well, perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
It would be a jag officer who puts his or
her own priorities in front of the warfighters, their promotions,
their medals, in front of having the backs that those
are making the tough calls on the front lines.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I'm going to tell you a little secret I have
just because I do this job now, which is not important.
I know, I don't have an important job. I talk
on the radio and I do TV. It's not important.
But because of this job, you end up having to
talk to various politicians, senators and congressmen, and this guy
(32:34):
running for president and this general and this guy and
he was CIA, and this guy was FBI, and they
said to you get to talk to all these important people.
People ask me where I get my confidence from. It's
not because of my own abilities. It's because I realize
(32:57):
how stupid and incapable all the quote important people are
who run things. United States senators are morons. Most of
them are morons, not all of them. Some of them
are very sharp human beings, but for the most part,
they're idiots. And not only are they idiots because of
(33:18):
how that job works. You only run for office once
every six years. You have an enormous staff a senator
and a member of the House not even comparable, not
even comparable. You essentially have a wing as your office
when you're a United States Senator and an army of staffers.
(33:38):
They read through all the bills, they write all your
talking points, They arrange all your TV appearances. They run
and get your food for you that you don't have
to do anything. You sit there like a lazy, worthless
slug combing your two pay checking out your latest fundraising numbers,
and of course, on the taxpayer dime. You'll take these
(34:00):
trips overseas. Oh, it's very important. I just found out
I've got to, uh, I've got to go to Paris
and meet with some of the people over there. I
guess I will bring my wife along. Maybe we'll do
some shopping along the way. These people are all morons.
Gary Peters is a moron.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Can you give me an experience?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I bet high school was brutal for Peters.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Can you give me an experience or your actual experience?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Peters get over here.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Can you give me an experience or your actual experience
of driving innovation in an organization? Give me an example
of where you have done?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
My Goodness Center absolutely a concerned Veterans for America. We
created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan
task force that never been done before, to create policy,
to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought
ferociously against. Where you got the via Accountability Act passed
and the Mission Act passed in a way that a
nonprofit of our size, veterans organization, we appreciate it never
(34:54):
done and it's testified.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
In all the letters we put forward to the committee
which you're on there. Okay, I have limited time. Thank
you for that.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Oh my gosh, he answered the question. Let's just move on.
Let's move on. Then, this guy Jack reed.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
During our meeting last week, you said that if confirmed,
your top priority would be quote, restoring a warrior culture
to the Department of Defense because you believe the US
military has been weakened by political correctness over the years.
You have made clear your opinion of the military's diversity initiatives,
as you have said, quote, diversity is not our strength,
(35:30):
unity is and a recent podcast you said quote, I'm
straight up just saying we should not have women in
combat roles.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, sounds good, but I'd be remiss. We're going to
finish up here if I didn't pay homage to the
dumbest senator in the United States Senate. There are a
lot of dumb ones there really are just genuinely stupid people,
but Maizie Herono is in a league all around. No
(36:01):
one comes close to this. The fact that this woman
is a United States senator is.
Speaker 9 (36:04):
Frank, would you use our military to take over Greenland?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Or an ally of Denmark? Senator.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
One of the things that President Trump is so good
at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I
would never in this public forum give one way or
another direct orders the President in any context that.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out such
an order to basically invade Greenland and take over the
Panama Canal.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
That woman as a United States Senator from one of
our coolest states. And I know Hawaii is as blue.
I get that, But that woman's a United States Senator.
Just wrap your mind around that. Doesn't that give you confidence?
Maybe you're sitting here listening to me right now, and
(36:55):
you have you have to give a presentation at work tomorrow.
You're nervous about it. Or maybe school. Maybe you're you
gotta go to school tomorrow and you have to speak
in front of the class and you're nervous. I'm worried.
I can't do it. I don't know what I'm doing.
Maizi Corono is a United States Senator. You can do anything.
Even morons can become United States Senators, and that should
(37:19):
inspire you to greatness. If Maisie Corono can be a
United States Senator, you can go to the moon. Believe me,
trust me on that. And Fred can live longer because
of rough Greens. Your dog can even live longer. Even
if you're stupid. You can still buy rough Greens and
give your dog or your cat nutrition. You see, because
(37:42):
we give our pets dead food. We give our pets
empty calories, basically fast food every meal. There is no
nutrition in your dog's food. That's why our dogs die
at ten years old. You want to have your dog
make fewer trips to the vet, better breath, better coat,
(38:04):
healthier joints. I mean, how much different is your life
when you get real nutrition. Start sprinkling Roughgreens on your
dog's food. Created by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. It has
vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants. You will see
such a difference in your dog hyperactive to lethargic. Roughgreens works.
(38:26):
You want a free Jumpstart trial bag. See if Little
Muffy likes it like Fred does. Eight three three three
three My Dog or go to Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse.
Now to wrap up all this confirmation hearing stuff, I
want to give you a compliment because you did something really,
(38:47):
really well. Hang on
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Let's have some fun on a Tuesday. And it was
a rambunctious Tuesday, a very revealing Tuesday. Today. Yes, the
Pete hag Seth confirmation hearing was today. It's confirmation week.
We got Bondy coming. There's there's gonna be a whole
(00:41):
lot of that, so get ready for that. What else
are we going to talk about tonight? We're gonna talk
about war with China. Seventy Americans. American parents don't want
the training stuff in school, so why do we have
it in school? Jack Smith dropped the law fair, but
Arizona's Attorney general picked it up. Why California Democrats are
(01:02):
asking fifty million dollars to protect illegals? Canada is all
of a sudden coming around on buying more things from US.
And two hundred and fifty Africans have officially taken over
a French theater and it's hilarious. All that emails, voicemails
and so much more coming up tonight on the world
(01:22):
famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now I want to begin. This
is going to be about the Pete Hegseth thing. But
let me tell you why I'm such a supporter of it,
not just of him. This does not only apply to him.
It applies to so many of the nominees Trump has
(01:43):
put up. And last time, Look, everyone who listens knows
I'm more than willing to blast away when I disagree
with Trump. Last time, his nominees were embarrassing, horrible. Rex Tillerson,
You've got to be freaking kidding me. This time, I'm
blown away impressed. I am so impressed. But why why
(02:05):
am I so on board with Pete Hegseth or Tulca Gabbert.
He's a career democrat. I have all kinds of disagreements
with her RFK same thing. Why am I supportive of this?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Beat us Howard's football season. I'll explain it this way.
If there's this incredible football team and they have been
winning consistently, over it, over it, over it over again,
make the playoffs every year, flirt with the National Championship,
super Bowl every year, well, it would be insane for
(02:40):
someone to step in and say, hey, this whole coaching staff,
our whole philosophy here, we're getting rid of it. There's
this high school coach he's in Wisconsin. He's got this
really weird, quirky offense. We're dumping our coaching staff and
we're gonna bring in this high school guy, and what
it's gonna go crazy? Nobody would support that. Why you're
(03:02):
already winning, things are going well. You don't upset the
apple cart. When things are going well, keep going that way.
But vice versa. Let's say there's a team that's been
losing over and over and over and over again, year
after year after year after year, loss loss, loss, loss. Well,
(03:26):
once you experience that for long enough, then it's time
to take some chances and shake things up. Maybe that
quirky high school coach from Wisconsin comes in and falls
flat on his face. But you don't have the option
(03:47):
to continue the way you've gone. That's not an option.
So it's time to roll the dice and take some chances.
When it comes to Pete Hegseth r fk Junior Tall,
Sie Gabbard at their person I could keep going down
the list. Are they different? Sure, of course they're different,
(04:08):
much different than they have been. Does that make them worse? Well,
I don't know. I don't know yet. You don't know yet.
I think Pete hag Seth is a very very capable
human being, and I expect him to do very well.
But maybe he won't. Maybe he'll fall flat on his face.
Maybe it'll be a disaster. Maybe maybe I don't think so,
(04:30):
but maybe. But no matter what, we cannot continue on
the way we have been going as a military. We
have so much cultural rot in the military system in
this country. I am doubtful even Pete hag Seth can
fix it in just four years. We have become so
(04:53):
top heavy. Listen to this. You want to talk about revealing.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
We won World War Two with seven four star generals.
Today we forty four for star generals. There's an inverse
relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield.
We don't need more bureaucracy at the top. We need
more warfighters and power at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
We have a military run from the bloated bureaucracy. Now
everybody gets their four stars. Along with those four stars,
everybody gets a lucrative contract with a defense contractor. On
the way out the door, Washington politicians, I've got some
inside information for you there. I'll get to that in
a moment. Washington politicians gets a campaign on being tough
(05:37):
on national defense, and oh, I love the military, Look
support our troops, Look how much I love America. The
politicians win, the generals win, America doesn't win in the
men on the ground most definitely do not win. The
men on the ground had to suffer through a twenty
year global war on Terror where embarrassing general after embarrassing
(05:59):
general took over both theaters, accomplished absolutely nothing, and then
sailed off into the sunset with a multimillion dollar defense
contractor contract. And the men and women on the ground
are left without legs, without their lives, without their friends,
without their sanity, And this simply cannot continue anymore, especially
(06:20):
in the face of a potential war with China. Here's
a headline for you, war in two years. It's from
PJ Media, China talking about twenty twenty seven as the
year they take Taiwan China. Here's from Naval News, China
suddenly building a fleet of special barges suitable for Taiwan landings.
(06:47):
You don't build craft to land on the shore unless
you're planning on landing on the shore. We have luxuriated
here in the United States of America for most of
our existence now. If you're old enough, and I realize
we have some people who are this old who listen
(07:10):
to the show, you're old enough to remember Japanese warships
firing on America in California, off the coast of California.
That happened in World War two. Nothing significant, no huge damage,
not a great loss of life, so most people don't
know about it. If you're old enough, you're old enough
to know about Nazi U boats. You can see them
(07:34):
from the ports in New York City. There was a
time in this country when Americans understood and appreciated that
power can come visit you now, where you are, wherever
you happen to be. But because we won World War
Two and we've had all this time, I realized Cold
(07:55):
War stuff. But we've had so much time where look
we're and even the global War on Terror, i'mless sure
one of the ones actually over there fighting and bleeding
and dying. It's not that big of a deal, right,
I mean, the gee hotties, Yeah, they might drive through
a crowd of people on Bourbon Street because they are
a bunch of demonic savages, but they're not gonna come
(08:16):
take over America. They're not going to come do anything
crazy like that. All who cares. We'll go blow some
of them up in Afghanistan and we'll call it a day.
And where that's gotten us is a military that has
run from the bureaucracy, As I said, a military so
full of filth. Listen to this is.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My Secretary of the Navy, should I be confirmed, Sir,
will not be focused on climate change in the Navy,
just like the Secretary of.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Air Force won't be focused on.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
LG powered fighter jets, or the Secretary of the Army
will not be focused on electric powered tanks.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Those aren't just one liner's Pete had planned. That's happening
right now in the United States military. We are rotting.
And the point I have tried to make over and
over and over again is you can't make people care
about the rot in the military. You can't really make
people care until it's too late, meaning you can't it's
(09:19):
hard to get I know you care. I'm not talking
about you, but it's hard to get norm and Norma
on board with caring about military rot because they don't
see it. You almost sound like some kind of right
wing conspiracy theorist. I'll take the tenfoil off your head
until one day you wake up and you find out
a carrier group is at the bottom of the Pacific
(09:39):
Ocean and you've lost five thousand sailors. And that's when
Norman Norma wake up and look around and say, how
did this happen? How could we done? What happened? What
happened was over the course of decades, our military has
become painted rust a disaster in every possible way. And
(10:02):
what we need is a huge shakeup. And this will
apply to way more than just Pete Hagseth r FK Junior.
I have all kinds of problems with things RFK Junior
has said and still says, and things like that. But
our pharmaceutical industry, our FDA needs shaken up. To put
it mildly, get in there and start shaking. Taulci Gabbard,
(10:23):
I want to see her shake it, shake it up
big time. I want to see you. I want to
see you purchase of Berna. That's what I want from you,
because I want you to live. Berna. The burn a launcher,
it's it's non lethal, so it's legal in all fifty
states California, but Jessee. I'm in New York. The legal
(10:44):
in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you
don't need a background check. SWAT teams across the country
are carrying burner launchers. Did you know that it has
pepper ball rounds or tear gas rounds or kinetic rounds.
The kinetic rounds are just these hard plastic ones. Oh
my god, they hurt sixty foot range, one shot, incapacitating
(11:05):
attacker for up to forty minutes. Oh you're worried about
not being able to hit him, But I'm scared, Jesse.
I'll be scared. Shoot the ground in front of him.
These things are amazing. They save lives, and you can
own one, carry one in your car, on your nightstand,
on your person. That daughter you send away to college
needs one. Your son, he's up there in the oil fields,
(11:27):
he needs one. B y Rna Berna dot com slash
Jesse gets you ten percent off and they partnered with
the American Red Cross. Berna will be donating ten percent
of all proceeds from purchases on Berna dot com through
the twenty first that'll be going to those affected by
(11:49):
the fires. How about that Berna dot Com slash Jesse
will be bad. Did Jesse Kelly Show It's still real
to me? Dammit, the tarns down. It is the Jesse
Kelly's Show on what Well. I guess we're going to
call it confirmation week on a Tuesday night. Remember that
sounds very official. Christ, No, it does. That sounds like
(12:12):
something a journalist would come up with.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's journalist, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It's confirmation week here on the Jesse Kelly Show. I
sound so official. Remember you can email the show love hate,
death threats, ask doctor Jesse questions. You can email all
those in to Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Back
to the Pete hegg Seth performance today.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Standards will be high and they will be equal, not equitable, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
A very different word.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
We need to make sure every warrior is fully qualified
on their assigned weapons system, every pilot's fully qualified and
current on the aircraft they are flying.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And every general or flag.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Officer is selected for leadership or promotion purely based on performance,
readiness and merit.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Jewish producer Chris during that SoundBite, asked a question that
I was already planning on answering. He leaned into the
mic and he said, are they not when Pete Hegseth
is talking about how everybody needs to be qualified on
the weapon system that they're assigned to. Let me explain
something that has happened in our military when I was
(13:29):
in when I was in mortars, I'm going to do
a back in my day thing. It's not that I
was any kind of a great marine at all. Like
I've told you many times before, I redefined the word average.
It was just an average grunt marine for four years.
I'm certainly nothing special at all. But our weapon systems,
we were always always going out on shoots with our
(13:55):
weapon system. We were in twenty nine Pomps and we
hated him, of course, because it's no fun. You have
to leave the barracks. You got to go out. You're
going out in the field. You're fighting the scorpions, The
foods crappy, So we're always complaining, but that's part of
being a marine. But we were always out there shooting, constantly, shooting, constantly,
shooting over and over and over and over and over again.
(14:16):
And then when we weren't shooting, we were practicing for
the shooting. Drill after drill after drill, and you can't
imagine how fast you get over and over and over
and over and over again without end. Today, with leadership
focused on so many other things, they don't get that
kind of training. Pete mentioned the pilots here. This is
(14:36):
what really perked up Chris.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Is standards will be high and they will be equal.
Not equitable, that's a very different word. We need to
make sure every warrior is fully qualified.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
On their assigned weapon system.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Every pilot's fully qualified and current on the aircraft they
are flying.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Are they not? No?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Not.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
This comes back to Look, we've been having this discussion
when it comes to the California wildfires. You remember what
that show was with the theme of it was I
talked about how we're used to certain things. It's human
nature to get used to the way things are. We're
in America. We're a modern country. We have plenty of everything.
(15:23):
Surely the fire hydrants will have water in them when
the fires come. When it comes to the military, well,
we're America.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
We won two World Wars. We have the best military
in the world. Our pilots all know what they're doing
right right, No, they do not. Multiple pilot friends of
mine tell me the training hours have simply been scaled
(15:52):
back to what they have told me doesn't even qualify
as the bare minimum budget cuts different focus. But hours
in the air for a pilot. I'm not a pilot,
so I can only go on what they tell me.
For a fighter.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Pilot, hours in the air are everything you really really you.
World War two buffs will know this. Did you ever
read a book about any parts of the air war?
In World War Two? What determined your victory over who
you were facing was oftentimes not who had the superior plane.
(16:34):
It was almost always who had the most hours in
the air. It's the hours in the air that make
the difference. I was talking to someone I know very
very well, and he is one of these super hot
pilot types, top gun types. He would kill me if
you ever heard me describe him like that. But he's
(16:55):
one of these super hot top gun types. And he
was describing you know, we were talking about of course,
I'm asking nerd out questions the way you would ask
I'm asking about dog fights and fighting other pilots. And
he said, Jesse, you know what, the difference is less
than a quarter of a second. Most of the time.
Who is that much faster, that much more reactive. That's
(17:20):
the difference between the guy who comes home and the
guy who doesn't. Our pilots don't fly anymore, cutting back
on fuel, cutting back on this again. You're not used
to that, America. I'm not used to that, America. But
while we were hiring a bunch of new generals and
blowing a bunch more money on the new drag show
dance on the air Force base, the pilots have been grounded.
(17:43):
They don't get time in the sky. And that brings
me to the last point about the promotions.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
And every general or flag officer is selected for leadership
or promotion purely based on performance, readiness, and merit.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Again, back touishes, back to quishes, back to Chris's question,
are they not? No, they're not. DEI is more than
something that just affects the local university of yours. It
has infected the United States Military like a cancer, and
(18:21):
it is at stage four when it comes to the
officer corps. And there are a couple different reasons for this.
The first reason is officers get sent into the university system,
and many of the pipeline universities where we're sending officers
to get their degree before they become officers, are some
(18:43):
of the most communist universities in the country. So even
if you have some squared away, patriotic eighteen year old
joining the army, you send him off to Lenin's training
camp for four years, and when he comes back to
the army, oh yeah, he still wants to be in
the army, but he kind of thinks this America place
sucks and these white people suck, and we're not near
(19:06):
gay enough around here. And he gets those officer stripes
on him and he goes to work. That's one aspect
of it, but there are other parts of it, which
we'll get into in a moment. Hang on feeling a
little stocky, Follow like and subscribe on social at Jesse
Kelly DC. It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Will try
(19:28):
to wrap up the Pete hagg says stuff. I may
or may not be able to do that during this
segment of her just talking about a couple of things.
If Pete talks, I'm not going to play it for
you again about how people will only get promoted based
on performance, and I explained already why that doesn't happen.
In part. Part of the reason it doesn't happen is
the officer corps. A bunch of people filtered through America's
(19:49):
university system, and as we've seen from voting patterns over
and over and over and over again, whether or not
you turn out to be a communist oftentimes is determined
by whether or not you've gone into an American university.
If you've walked into an American university and been educated
there for four or five six years, you oftentimes come
(20:09):
out the other side to the left of Mau sa Dung.
If you can manage to avoid that communist training camp,
you'll oftentimes be sane, happier, and many times wealthier. So
make that choice carefully for your children, if you will.
Back to beat hegseeth and back to how and why
people get promoted. You see, when an organization from the
(20:33):
top gets corrupted and sent in the wrong direction, oftentimes
it's not just evil communists who are only promoting people
based on DEI stuff and things like that. It's the guy.
Maybe he even wants to do the right thing, but
he's got a career, you see. So we'll make it
(20:54):
about me. Let's say I'm I'm a colonel, I'm a fulberger.
Let's say and let's say I don't have any time
for all this DEI garbage. I'm not all about that,
but I've got I've got sixteen years in the United
States Marine Corps. I am living my dream. I have
(21:15):
wanted to be a colonel. I want to be a
general one day. I want to be a career guy
in the United States Marine Corps. And the Biden administration
takes over and they start pushing the Kami filth really really,
really hard to where I've had to sit into seminar
after seminar after seminar about how oppressed black people are
(21:38):
in the military and how we need more gaye if
we're going to be able to defeat the enemy. And
it comes time where I have to decide who the
next lieutenant colonel under me is going to be. And
I have a choice to make. You see, I have
two candidates. One of them he's a straight white dude.
(22:04):
The other one is a gay white dude. Then not
say the straight white dude is even more qualified. He's
better in every way, a better marine in every way.
I could promote him, that would be the right thing
to do, But my general has made it very very
very clear to me that we are supposed to gay
this place up as much as humanly possible. So see,
(22:29):
I want to be a general, I want to get promoted.
If I just if I just go ahead and promote
the gay guy, then it's not going to leave any
bad marks on my record in my career gets saved. Now.
You can yell and scream like you probably are in
the radio, but they should be doing what's best for
(22:50):
the country. I agree, but you and I both understand
how it really works. Many, I could argue, most human
beings do what's better for themselves first and foremost. Mark Millie,
remember his comments? Why would he talk like this?
Speaker 6 (23:08):
I do think it's important actually for those of us
in uniform to be open minded and be widely read.
In the United States Military Academy is a university, uh,
and it is important that we train and we understand
and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white
and I want to understand it.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Why would he say that? He doesn't actually think that,
he doesn't believe that, But why would he get up
and say that? Because that's how you maintain that wonderful
system membership card that guarantees as soon as you're done
as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, you will be a
fabulously wealthy man working for defense contractors, liaising between them
(23:51):
and Congress to ensure billions and billions and billions of
dollars of tax payer money continue to flow back, and
it becomes self interest to promote whatever the next DEI
guy is. But the end result of that is it
happens over and over and over and over and over again,
(24:12):
and this branch and that branch, and this branch and
that branch, and this department in that department and that department.
The end result is, well, you see how LA handled
a wildfire. The end result is you have a United
States military that doesn't know how to fight wars anymore
because you didn't promote people based on who fought the
best war, on who had the best strategy, on who
(24:32):
had the highest marks. You just promoted people based on
the minorities or do we have enough women, or do
we have enough gaze. You do that for long enough,
your military will be hollowed out. And that's the challenge
we face here. Now, let's go on and make fun
of some Democrats, shall we hear? Is Pete versus Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
You're quite sure that every general who serves should not
go directly into the defense industry for ten years. But
you're not willing to make that same pledge.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm not a general senator.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Pretty well done. Of course, Gillibrand had to get hurt
soundbites in. I guess I'll just call him sound bites. Okay, first,
remember these things. For the most part, for Democrats, everything
you're gonna hear all week is theater. Let me pause
before I get to Gillibrand. Let me explain. They told
(25:32):
you what you've already probably heard. It looks like all
of Trump's nominees are going to go through, and I've
talked to several multiple senators who've told me that I
think they're all going to get confirmed. I think they're
all going to get confirmed. That tells me the votes
have already been whipped. They're gonna get confirmed. So if
you're a Democrat, you have to fight one of two
(25:53):
different ways. With Kavanaugh. The reason we all everyone who
was paying attention to politics, the reason we all remember
the Kavanaugh hearings, we all remember how vicious they were,
how truly truly nasty they were, and how long it
went on. Well that was because they genuinely thought they
could stop it. Democrats believed they could put a stop
(26:17):
to Kavanaugh, and they came very close. They were one
vote away from stopping it. Told you that story before
they almost did stop it. What you're seeing and what
you will see all week. He saw it today with
Pete egg Seth is not them actually trying to stop it.
What you're seeing is them trying to get promoted. This
(26:39):
is fundraising week for Democrats, So do yourself a favor.
Don't get angry about the crazy, evil, horrible things you'll
see Democrats say this week. They're not saying it to
try to stop anybody. They're not necessarily saying it to
(27:02):
smear the person they're asking questions of. They're saying it
because they want that sound bite on MSNBC. They want
the sound bite to go viral. They want a SoundBite
to attach to the latest fundraising email. Help Senator Gillibrand
put us stop that Trump's radical Nazi agenda. Send me
(27:22):
fifty dollars. I'll make it happen. That's what all this
is about. It is Democrat fundraising week. Remember that when
these people were nutboled.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
But most recently, you said this in November of twenty
twenty four, knowing full well you might have been named.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
As Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
So please explain these types of statements because they're brutal
and they're mean.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
She's talking about Pete Hegseth's statements that women shouldn't be
in frontline combat rules, which of course they should not be,
but they're mean. This is exactly why, this is exactly
why you nutball should be there. They're brutal and they're made.
(28:06):
Oh you have it, Chris, go ahead, good.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I'm straight up just saying we should not have women
in combat roles. It hasn't made us more effective, hasn't
made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We've all served with women and they're great.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
It just our institutions don't have to incentivize that in
places where traditionally, not traditionally over human history, men in
those positions are more capable.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
They're brutal, and they're mean. We'll continue along with a
little bit of that number.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I want to talk about some other things that i'd
get to emails. Remember you can email the show Jesse
at Jesse kellyshow dot com. You're always bugging me, well,
not about half of you were always bugging me. I
want more history, more history, more history, because you know
I'm a history nerd myself. Well, what if I could
give you some free history courses free ones Hillsdale College.
(29:00):
You already know about Hillsdale, the institution out there where
your young son or daughter won't get destroyed. We all
want our kids to go to Hillsdale. But the truth
is we can all go to Hillsdale. They're offering more
than forty free online courses. What about rise and Fall
the Roman Empire? The meaning of the US Constitution? What
(29:23):
about the Book of Genesis the stories in there? Do
you want education on these things? How about no cost
education when you go to Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse
and enroll. There's no cost over forty free classes online.
It's for you, it's for me, it's for everybody. They
(29:45):
want everyone to have this knowledge. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse.
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show on air and
online at Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show, having all kinds of fun with the PTE
egg Seth confirmation hearings today, not going to spend the
(30:07):
entire show on that. We'll try to wrap it up here,
move on to what's going on with the law fair stuff.
Why do we have all the tranny stuff in school
when seventy five percent of American parents rejected wildfired talk.
Canada's finally getting on board. All that and more is
still to come on the show. Let's go back to
Senator Gillibrand yelling and screaming and making an idiot of herself. Remember,
(30:32):
because there's no mystery. There's no suspense, at least from
what I hear about the nominees getting through. Democrats have
nothing but fundraising this week. All this is fundraising. This
Senator gillibrand her people already have this typed up I
guarantee it and an I am woman, hear me, roar email.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
And in all of these other circumstances, you've denigrated active
duty service members. We have hundreds, hundreds of women who
are currently in the infantry, lethal members of our military service.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, lethal members. I can already see everyone carrying their
packs for them as we spring.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
In the infantry. But you degrade them. You say we
need moms, but not in the military, especially in combat units.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, women should not be in infantry rules, but you
know that'll sound good. This guy he didn't know what
Pete hegseeth was talking about when he used the term
jag off.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
By the way, would you explain what a jag off is?
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Look in the mirror, senator. Now, I'll let him keep going.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
By the way, would you explain what a jag off is?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I don't think I need you, sir. Why not because
the men and women watching understand.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Well, perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
It would be a jag officer who puts his or
her own priorities in front of the warfighters, their promotions,
their medals, in front of having the backs that those
are making the tough calls on the front lines.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I'm going to tell you a little secret I have
just because I do this job now, which is not important.
I know, I don't have an important job. I talk
on the radio and I do TV. It's not important.
But because of this job, you end up having to
talk to various politicians, senators and congressmen, and this guy
(32:34):
running for president and this general and this guy and
he was CIA, and this guy was FBI, and they
said to you get to talk to all these important people.
People ask me where I get my confidence from. It's
not because of my own abilities. It's because I realize
(32:57):
how stupid and incapable all the quote important people are
who run things. United States senators are morons. Most of
them are morons, not all of them. Some of them
are very sharp human beings, but for the most part,
they're idiots. And not only are they idiots because of
(33:18):
how that job works. You only run for office once
every six years. You have an enormous staff a senator
and a member of the House not even comparable, not
even comparable. You essentially have a wing as your office
when you're a United States Senator and an army of staffers.
(33:38):
They read through all the bills, they write all your
talking points, They arrange all your TV appearances. They run
and get your food for you that you don't have
to do anything. You sit there like a lazy, worthless
slug combing your two pay checking out your latest fundraising numbers,
and of course, on the taxpayer dime. You'll take these
(34:00):
trips overseas. Oh, it's very important. I just found out
I've got to, uh, I've got to go to Paris
and meet with some of the people over there. I
guess I will bring my wife along. Maybe we'll do
some shopping along the way. These people are all morons.
Gary Peters is a moron.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Can you give me an experience?
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I bet high school was brutal for Peters.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Can you give me an experience or your actual experience?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Peters get over here.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Can you give me an experience or your actual experience
of driving innovation in an organization? Give me an example
of where you have done?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
My Goodness Center absolutely a concerned Veterans for America. We
created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan
task force that never been done before, to create policy,
to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought
ferociously against. Where you got the via Accountability Act passed
and the Mission Act passed in a way that a
nonprofit of our size, veterans organization, we appreciate it never
(34:54):
done and it's testified.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
In all the letters we put forward to the committee
which you're on there. Okay, I have limited time. Thank
you for that.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Oh my gosh, he answered the question. Let's just move on.
Let's move on. Then, this guy Jack reed.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
During our meeting last week, you said that if confirmed,
your top priority would be quote, restoring a warrior culture
to the Department of Defense because you believe the US
military has been weakened by political correctness over the years.
You have made clear your opinion of the military's diversity initiatives,
as you have said, quote, diversity is not our strength,
(35:30):
unity is and a recent podcast you said quote, I'm
straight up just saying we should not have women in
combat roles.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, sounds good, but I'd be remiss. We're going to
finish up here if I didn't pay homage to the
dumbest senator in the United States Senate. There are a
lot of dumb ones there really are just genuinely stupid people,
but Maizie Herono is in a league all around. No
(36:01):
one comes close to this. The fact that this woman
is a United States senator is.
Speaker 9 (36:04):
Frank, would you use our military to take over Greenland?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Or an ally of Denmark? Senator.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
One of the things that President Trump is so good
at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I
would never in this public forum give one way or
another direct orders the President in any context that.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out such
an order to basically invade Greenland and take over the
Panama Canal.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
That woman as a United States Senator from one of
our coolest states. And I know Hawaii is as blue.
I get that, But that woman's a United States Senator.
Just wrap your mind around that. Doesn't that give you confidence?
Maybe you're sitting here listening to me right now, and
(36:55):
you have you have to give a presentation at work tomorrow.
You're nervous about it. Or maybe school. Maybe you're you
gotta go to school tomorrow and you have to speak
in front of the class and you're nervous. I'm worried.
I can't do it. I don't know what I'm doing.
Maizi Corono is a United States Senator. You can do anything.
Even morons can become United States Senators, and that should
(37:19):
inspire you to greatness. If Maisie Corono can be a
United States Senator, you can go to the moon. Believe me,
trust me on that. And Fred can live longer because
of rough Greens. Your dog can even live longer. Even
if you're stupid. You can still buy rough Greens and
give your dog or your cat nutrition. You see, because
(37:42):
we give our pets dead food. We give our pets
empty calories, basically fast food every meal. There is no
nutrition in your dog's food. That's why our dogs die
at ten years old. You want to have your dog
make fewer trips to the vet, better breath, better coat,
(38:04):
healthier joints. I mean, how much different is your life
when you get real nutrition. Start sprinkling Roughgreens on your
dog's food. Created by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. It has
vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants. You will see
such a difference in your dog hyperactive to lethargic. Roughgreens works.
(38:26):
You want a free Jumpstart trial bag. See if Little
Muffy likes it like Fred does. Eight three three three
three My Dog or go to Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse.
Now to wrap up all this confirmation hearing stuff, I
want to give you a compliment because you did something really,
(38:47):
really well. Hang on
