Jesse uses a real life boot camp example of how good can come out of a chaotic situation. That is Trump's negotiating style, it's chaotic, but with a clear goal in mind. How much of the Trump agenda has been written into law and why it takes so long to get things done in DC. We have a chance to unseat RINO, John Cornyn in Texas, with Ken Paxton announcing he is running for Senate.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Let's have some fun on a Wednesday. It's hum day
and it's an enormous day today. Yes, we are going
(00:32):
to discuss China, the tariff thing. In fact, we're gonna
discuss Donald Trump himself because apparently ninety nine percent of
the country needs an education on somebody, everyone, someone everyone
should be familiar with at this point in time. We'll
talk about that. We're gonna wrap up our World War
One history story at the start of our number two.
(00:53):
That's always a really good time. Some very very terrible
admiral got kicked out of the Navy. Someone terrible got
kicked out of the Irs. We'll talk about the Communist infiltration,
naming your kids, Michelle Obama's podcast as a gigantic flop,
all that emails, and so much more coming up tonight
(01:14):
on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But I actually
want to first start with Trump tariffs, China negotiating all
these things. I'll get to there that in a moment.
Let me tell you a little boot camp story. Marine
Corps boot camp. You see, Marine Corps boot camp is
(01:37):
a fascinating thing to a lot of people who've never
been through it, and to people who have been through it,
I'll say this Marine Corps boot Camp is so effective
at taking young people in molding them into something totally
different from what they were before. That. Marine Corps boot
(02:01):
Camp is studied by nations around the globe. Did you
know that they will send observers. Schools in other countries
will send observers to Marine Corps boot camp to try
to figure out, Wait, three months, it's three months worth.
How did you take that and turn him into that?
(02:24):
How do you do that? So here's something that happens
to you certainly happened to me multiple times in boot camp.
So I want you to picture this. Okay, this will
come back to Trump and everything else. You's got to
stay with me for a moment. You can picture in
your mind what the barracks look like in Marine Corps
boot camp. You've seen enough movies to know I'm not
(02:44):
going to insult your intelligence. You know you have rows
of bunks on each of the sides, and then rows
of bunks up the middle. Right, you picture this is
the barracks. It's Marine Corps boot camp. Here's a bunk.
You got it? Okay, At the foot of every single bunk,
because again it's two beds, there are two foot lockers.
(03:07):
You know what a foot locker is. The big rectangular
box in this foot locker in boot camp is everything
you own. And I want to stress you're not going
to find your iPhone in there. It's everything you're allowed
to have, which is only Marine Corps stuff. That's it.
I think when I was in you were allowed to
(03:28):
have some letter writing things if you wanted to physically
write a letter home, other than that your foot locker.
It is as marine as it gets. And one of
the most amazing things is, let's say there are eighty
people in a boot camp platoon. If you went up
and down the line and opened up eighty foot lockers,
(03:50):
all eighty would look virtually identical. They are organized the
same way, labeled the exact same way. This is here,
that is there. You have little labels on your socks,
on your everything. Everything is folded or rolled in the
exact same way, clean, neat organized. You're picturing this. Stay
(04:11):
with me now. There will come a day if you
find yourself a Marine Corps boot camp where the drill
instructors are going to punish you the infraction will generally
be real, but it usually is not that big of
(04:33):
a deal, at least not in your mind at the time.
Your buddy didn't shave. Maybe there's a foot locker inspection
and you will definitely have those. You will be forced
to unlock your foot locker, open it up, and they
will go through to make sure everything is labeled and
organized correctly. Or who God forbid, they walk by and
(04:55):
they find your foot locker has been unlocked. You may
catch the drill instructor on the wrong day, or maybe,
just like in Donald Trump's case, maybe this is all planned.
The drill instructors will collectively lose their minds on you,
and this is what will happen. Next. You're picturing all
(05:15):
these bunks. Remember the bunks have been meticulously made down
to the inch. It has to be done perfectly. The
footlockers meticulous. Everything's done perfectly. The instructors will well, at
least the time they did it to us. They herded
us all into the bathroom. We all piled into the
bathroom where they dumped ammonia on the floor so we
(05:37):
couldn't breathe. As guys are trying to get their breath
and crying. The drill instructor crying just because it's in
your eyes. The drill instructors went back out to the barracks,
took every single bunk, destroyed it, dumped the mattress and
the things on the bunk into a one big pile
in the center of the barracks. They then took every
(05:58):
single foot locker of them, eight zero, meticulously organized. They
made you unlock it beforehand, and then they dumped the
contents of every single foot locker in the exact same
pile in the middle of the barracks. And then they
dragged you, coughing and crying, out of the bathroom and
(06:19):
essentially said, look, you have ten minutes fix it, which,
of course is impossible, and if I remember right, it
was probably two or three hours of We would run
as fast as we could to get everything fixed. Is
that your shoes? Those are my socks? Help me with
(06:40):
the bed, someone helped me with this. You would fail
because it can't be done in ten minutes. They would
then drag everything back into the center, dump it all
out in the center, and make you do it again
and again and again and again and again. Now, why
is it just torture? Is that it are you're right, Chris,
(07:01):
maybe that's a little bit of it. Is it just torture.
Chaos and the appearance of chaos can be extremely beneficial
if it's intentional, if there's a purpose to it, you
will learn in the end. You want to hear something insane,
(07:22):
here's something insane, but it's true. Towards the end of
that two hours, you're sweating, you're doing pushups, you're miserable,
you're frustrated. They're dumping, they're yelling. It's horrible. Towards the
end of that two hours, myself and most of my
close friends, when the drill instructors weren't looking, started laughing
(07:44):
about the whole thing. This is just ridiculous. This sucks.
Oh gosh, life sucks. You're laughing about the whole thing.
You learn to deal with the chaos, the misery, to
process it a different way, and there's an educational benefit.
How many guys left their foot lockers unlocked after that
(08:08):
fateful day zero. When you open up the doors and
you walk in and drill instructors are dumping everyone's stuff
in the center, it looks like chaos, insanity, anarchy, pointless insanity.
That's what it looks like, but chaos or the appearance
(08:30):
of it, can be used to great benefit and has
been used to great benefit time and time and time again.
So let's talk about Donald Trump. It's gonna be kind
of about tariffs, but it's not really about terriffs, because
there's something that I see happening repeatedly, over and over
(08:51):
and over again. Ninety nine percent of the US population
takes part in this, and it baffles me to no end.
Ump has a negotiating style that is not uncommon in
the business world. No, everybody doesn't do it like this,
but it's not uncommon in the business world. Trump has
(09:13):
an extremely chaotic or at least appearingly chaotic style of negotiating.
And so what he will do when he is trying
to get something out of Kim the tyrant in North Korea,
Trump will do and say everything. He will insult him.
(09:35):
He'll wake up one morning and go to social media.
This stupid fat blob in North Korea. What an idiot?
He better be careful. I'll shove a missile up his
rear end. And then the very next day I'll tell
you I've always gotten along with Kim. He's been a
pretty good dude. And I'll tell you very very reasonable,
and then the next day you wake up, I'll send
some warships over there, will pulverize that place to nothing.
(09:57):
Then the next day, you know, I could see some
nice properties in North Korea, and I think Kim has
a good vision for the country. And what happens is
Trump's worshippers and Trump's haters, they all react to every
single thing he says, every single day, running to and fro.
Did you see what Trump said out so cheat? It's
Oh my gosh, I love him. Oh my gosh, do
(10:17):
you see what Trump said? What an idiot, What a moron.
This guy's crazy, This guy's gonna destroy us. All his worshipers,
his lovers every single day chasing the laser across the
room like they're cats. Oh my gosh, it's great. It's
horrible that. Why are you still doing that to yourself?
Trump negotiates like that. It appears chaotic with a goal
(10:43):
in mind. And I'm not saying his goal was always correct.
I'm saying it's always wrong. He's aiming for something. Always
talk about that a little bit more in a moment
before we talk about that. Why are you putting up
with pain. Why do you think you to live like that?
You don't have to live doing the thing because your
(11:04):
back hurts every time you bend over. Oh I know
it does a sound familiar. Yeah, I know what that
feels like. Why are you doing the the rubbing your knee,
your elbow, your hand that hurts all the time. Stop
and stop taking things to mask it because that's terrible
for you. Try relief Factor one hundred percent drug free
to supplement. It's a unique formula of natural ingredients. You see,
(11:30):
your body's already trying to fight the inflammation. Your body's
just needs a little boost. That's what relief Factor is
to boost. Stop treating it temporarily and stop ignoring it
and get it out of your life so you can
get back to living the way you want to live.
Three weeks of it is nineteen ninety five one eight
hundred the number four relief or go to relief Factor
(11:54):
dot com. We'll be back. This is the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a magnificent Wednesday,
a hump day. Reminding you you can email the show
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yes, we got a
bunch of hate mail, two of things I said yesterday,
(12:16):
and all kinds of people who love the history hated
the history. I don't care. We're still going to do
that again. About forty five minutes from now, back to
what we were talking about, and I'll play you some
Trump things from today, because you saw it. It was
two three days of everyone's getting a tariff. Terraffs for everybody.
Today we wake up and hold on a minute, just
(12:38):
China's getting a tariff.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It have brought more than seventy five countries forward to negotiate.
It took great courage, great courage for him to stay
the course until this moment. And what we have ended
up with here, as I told everyone a week ago
there in this very spot, do not retaliate and you
(12:59):
will be rewarded. So every country in the world who
wants to come and negotiate, we are willing to cure you.
We're going to go down to a ten percent basedline
tariff live for them, and China will be raised to
one five due to their insistence on escalation.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
China, you wanted to escalate, yours gets jacked through the roof.
Everyone else who was nice about it. Come on to
DC let's work out a deal. Scott Piscent talked about
it more.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But in terms of escalation, unfortunately, the biggest defender in
the global trading system is China, and they're the only
country who's escalated. And I can tell the rest of
the world that I'm not sure whether it's the Prime
minister or the Economic minister in Spain made some comments
(13:50):
this morning, Oh well, maybe we should align ourselves more
with China. That would be cutting your own throat, because
I can tell you that these Chinese exports that the
US tariff wall is going to keep out that China.
For all of you who can remember that Disney's.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, you got it. Caroline Levit talked about it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
As you all know, the President just put out a
statement announcing an additional tariff on China. The tariff on
China will now go up to one hundred and twenty
five percent because China.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
How did all work out like this? Well, Trump himself
said something pretty revealing. You Trump haters who hate everything
he does, and you Trump worshipers who worship everything he does,
should listen closely.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm telling you these countries are calling us up, kissing
my end. They are dying to make it to you. Please,
please make it to you. I'll do anything. I'll do anything, sir.
And then I'll see some rebel Republican, you know, some
guy that wants to grandstand say I think that Congress
should take over negotiations.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You don't negotiate like I negotiate.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You don't negotia like I negotiate. Vietnam pledges to buy
more US goods as it seeks urgent trade talks, trade talks.
Everything's on the table, says on potentially delisting Chinese stocks.
Bascente says aligning with China with trade is like cutting
your own throat. We just played that for you over
(15:20):
and over and over again. And this is not me
coming here telling you that Donald Trump's tariff trade war
was the most brilliant thing in history. And this is
not me coming here telling you that Trump's tariff trade
war was the dumbest thing in history. Neither of those
things are true. This is me telling you that Donald
(15:42):
Trump has a goal in mind. He has a chaotic
way of negotiating things where he will come down seemingly
on all sides of every issue. He will insult and
compliment every person involved in every issue, and from the
outside look looking in, it appears chaotic. And if you
(16:03):
take anything he says during negotiations as face value as
evidence of his brilliance or the fact that he's the
devil himself, you are in fact the moron, because we
have years, in years in gears of evidence showing this
is how he does it. When Trump talks about Greenland,
it's actually a perfect example of this. Can you even
(16:25):
go down the list of all the things he's said
about Greenland? I want Greenlan. We're gonna buy it. I
think we'll buy it. Now, you know what, we might
military invade it. I think Obama I love the people there. Hey,
the people there better be careful. I'm not really sure.
I might send a smart bomb. I might send some cash. Hey,
what do you think? And every single day, whether you
adore Donald Trump or whether you think he's garbage, he
(16:47):
gives you something else to wrap your arms around and say, look,
look he's a moron. I told you he's a moron.
Or look look I told you he's perfect. Look at
the God King. He's perfect. He's a man with a goal,
and he has an eye idea of how to get
to the goal, and chaotic negotiating is how he gets
to every single goal, every single time. I didn't say
(17:10):
you can't insult the goal. Maybe you don't like the goal.
That's fine. You're a human being with thoughts and feelings,
and you're allowed to have opinions on Trump too. Hate
him or love him, I don't care. But let's rise
above the stupid daily noise. Let's rise above reacting and
responding to everything Trump says when he's in the middle
(17:33):
of a negotiation. What Trump says when he's in the
middle of a negotiation. I'm not going to say it's
meaningless because he does it with a purpose, but it
is nothing, absolutely nothing that you should ever take the
heart because one day he's going to call you a fat,
ugly moron, and the next day he's gonna wake up
(17:53):
and tell you you're the most beautiful person he's ever
seen in his life. Is it Trump being differ Yeah,
it's very different. It's very, very different. It's hard for
a lot of people to understand what's going on, but
that's what he's doing. And you know what, Today it's
about tariffs in China. Tomorrow it'll be about something else,
(18:13):
And the next day it'll be about something else, and
the eternal hyperventilating class will continue every day, responding to
everything said as if what I just said isn't painfully obvious.
He has a purpose. Chaotic negotiations have a purpose, and
(18:34):
Trump uses them to his advantage. Let's at least be
mature enough to realize that. All right, let's talk about
something else wonderful that just happened yesterday. Next. This is
the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
(18:56):
On a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday. I'm so happy to be or,
as you can tell, I'm in a better mood today.
Got some good breakfast tacos this morning that really put
me on what Chris, No different place, Buddy, I told
you a different place, that other one. I'm never going back, buddy,
powdered eggs. You're dead to me. You're dead to me.
You might as well spit in my face. Anyway, had
some good breakfast tacos today. It really it set the
(19:19):
tone for my day. When I wake up, knock out
some good breakfast tacos. This is going to be a
good day now. I'm maybe I'm just in a good
mood because of the news out of Texas. Spoiler alert,
I'll circle back to this, haha, Jen Zaki, I'll circle
back to it. But Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General Ken
(19:42):
Paxton announced last night that he's going to challenge John Cornyan,
Texas Senator John Cornyn in a primary. John Cornyn's primary
is next year, So pause on that. We'll come back
to that specific thing. Why why can't we get things
is done faster? It's April ninth. How much of the
(20:06):
Trump agenda that you voted for, how much of it
has been written into law? We have the we have
the House, we have the Senate. Why isn't more getting done?
That's concrete, right? I like the executive orders? You like
the executive orders? That's fine, But you know, just like
I do. I know you know this. You email about
(20:27):
it all the time. Next guy's just gonna come in
and undo them all? Sameway Trump on did Biden's Why
isn't more getting done? Why are why aren't we getting
real spending cuts? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Well? Congress
is the problem. The House and Senate. Remember it's all Congress,
the House and Senate. Okay, well, that's kind of general though,
(20:47):
who who's the problem? Long serving Republicans you know them
as establishment or swamp types. They are not only the
problem in DC. They are the ones who keep their
foot in the door so communism can continue to invade
(21:10):
every single part of the United States of America. They
are not the communists themselves, They're the ones who keep
the door open. So how did they even stay there?
What's going on? Well, here's how it works. I've explained
it before in DC, the Mitch McConnell's of the world,
the John Cornyns of the world. How it works is
they get to Washington, DC and what you find out
(21:31):
is this. I actually experienced this when I was running
for office. These gigantic industries, some good, some bad, but
in general they're just industries that are in it for themselves.
They start lobbying you, they will You'll end up at
a dinner with them, at a party with them, at
something with them, and they'll will make this about the
(21:52):
defense industry because it's one of the most crooked industries
in the country. Let's say you're at the at a
big dinner and all the big show from Who's a
Big One Boeing are there? All the big shots from
Boeing are there, and they're gonna start pouring honey in
your ear about how necessary this weapon system is and
how necessary that one is. And why are they telling
(22:12):
that to you, Senator? They're saying that to you because
there's a new budget coming up and they want to
ensure that you will put a large amount of money
for them in the new bill that's coming. Okay, but
why would you do that. You're a senator from a
red state. Your constituents want you to be fiscally responsible. Well,
(22:33):
you do that because there's a there's a give and take.
If you will, they're going to make sure your campaign
coffers are full of millions and millions of dollars. That's
how it works. They will write gigantic checks for your
reelection campaign. You will take the gigantic checks that have
(22:57):
been written to you by the DC swamp. The DC
swamp is rich, and you will not only fund your
own reelection campaign, you will shell that money out to
other senators or potential senators. You'll host big fundraisers for them,
You'll write them checks, and in return, they will elect
(23:18):
you to important, powerful committee positions in the Senate because
you help them out. Hey, Chris, here's ten million dollars
for your Senate campaign and Montana. Oh, you won your
Senate campaign in Montana. Hey, Chris, can I count on
your vote for GOP leadership in the Senate? Oh? I can.
That's wonderful. Now that I'm in GOP leadership, I have
(23:42):
even more access to DC swamp money because I have
even more power. Okay, you get how it works, right.
The more you suck up to the DC swamp, the
more money comes in. The more money comes in, the
more you fund your reelection, and the more you buy influence. Now,
the problem with that is you become as an establishment Republican.
(24:05):
You become highly highly invested in everything staying exactly as
it is. Reform, what cuts, That's the last thing in
the world you want. In fact, you are paid buy
these industries in a roundabout way. You are paid by
(24:26):
these industries in part to ensure there is no reform.
You are paid to make sure nothing changes. That's what
John Cornyn, that's why he gets all that money, That's
why all that money flows in. He is paid by
industries who want the crooked status quo to remain. And
(24:48):
on top of buying all that influence, he does something else. Honestly,
this will apply to all of America, not just Texas.
Stay with me here, because they all do it. Connell
does it, Thoon does it, Cassidy does it, Rounds does it,
Graham does it. They all do it. They'll do it.
They hoover up all this DC cash. They screw us
(25:10):
over for five of the six years they're in the
United States Senate because senators serve six year terms, and
then well you see, if you have to defend them.
They understand norm They understand Norma. They understand the GOP
primary voter. They know who he is, they know where
(25:33):
he is, they know what he watches, they know what
he listens to. And when electioneer rules around, they take
millions and millions and millions of dollars that's been hoovered
up from the DC swamp and they saturate the television airwaves,
the radio airwaves. Today it's social media is a huge
(25:55):
place where they spend a bunch of money YouTube or Twitter,
Facebook or wherever you may be, install gram. They spend
millions and millions and millions of dollars telling Norman Norma
how conservative they are. And now more importantly, they tell
them how much they love Trump. John Cornyn actually grabbed
this sound, but if you can find it, Chris, it
(26:16):
was from yesterday Ken Paxton, or maybe it was from today.
Ken Paxton announced on the news last night that he
was going to challenge John Cornyn for this Senate seat.
Maybe Chris will find it, maybe he won't. But John
Corny was asked about it in the Senate building, and
I think John Cornyn mentioned Donald Trump's name five times
in his response. Oh, what's that? I'm being challenged for
(26:37):
my Senate seat? Oh? Did I sign up with Democrats
for gun controlling things like that?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You know what? You know what I have to say
to that. I'm a big fan of Trump. I'm a
Trump guy and Trump this and Trump Trump Trump. I've
always loved Trump, and I love Trump Now I love
him even more and I'm a big trump man. That's
gonna be what he runs on. He's going to spend
million biggins in millions of dollars telling GOP primary voters
(27:05):
in Texas that he and Trump they're best friends. Look
at Donald Trump and me. I love being part of
Trump and Trump this and Trump that. I love it. Oh, Chris,
you have it? Yeah, play. This was John Corner today.
Do you have any.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Level of concern about Paxton running for the right of
you in this primary?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well, the biggest potential loser is President Trump's agenda. I've
been a supporter of the President during his first term
of office, and that's continued during his current term. Mister
Paxton has a checker background. He is a con man
and a fraud and I think the people of Texas
(27:46):
know that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh well, father just love Trump. But that brings me,
of course, to this primary and why you should care.
No matter where you're listening right now, you don't have
to be in Texas to care about this. I'm going
to explain flat out why you should care. In fact,
I might even do a little bit of World War
(28:08):
One history next segment to prep for the final one,
in order to show you why and how you should
care before we get to that. Though I know you
love history, well half you do. I love it. I
can't get enough of it. And it's very very difficult,
very difficult to find somebody who can make it interesting.
(28:30):
I found that it's an eternal frustration of mine. Hillsdale
makes it interesting. When Hillsdale's offering a free online course
about stories from the Book of Genesis. Doesn't that sound
like that has the potential to be boring? Oh my gosh,
it's amazing. It's amazing the way Hillsdale presents these things
(28:55):
in a way that not only I can enjoy it
as a history freak, but my kids, my wife. You
want a free online course about the Constitution the Roman Republic,
Hillsdale's giving them out at no cost. I just so
appreciate that. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse gets you a
(29:16):
Hillsdale education at no cost. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse.
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Wednesday, a hunt day,
ten minutes away from doing some history, and then in
the final hour we go through hate mail. Michelle Obama's
(29:39):
podcast is drowning, the head of the Irs is leaving,
and a woman named November June. Gosh, what a spectacular
show we still have on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now,
why should you care about the Texas Senate primary unless
you're in Texas right, listen to me, But why should
you care? Well, we don't have one of these types.
(30:05):
John Cornyn types. We have a lot of them. I'm
not talking about Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski from these
kind of purple states where that's about as good as
we can hope for. We have a lot of these
entrenched DC swamp establishment types. You know their names, Lindsey
(30:26):
Graham and John Thune and Cassidy and Rounds and Tillis
and the look. I could go down the list of them.
Red state after red state after red state. They get
in there, they feel completely secure in their seat because
they're from blood red states, and they feel completely confident
(30:48):
that they can screw their constituents over and then buy
their way out of trouble in an election year. And
they've been able to operate that way for a long time.
But you can make an example of somebody. We've been
talking about the Italian campaign of World War One. In fact,
(31:09):
I'm going to wrap that up here in about ten
minutes from now. You know what decimation is. You ever
heard that term? You probably have, Most people have. We
got decimated a decimation, but people actually use that term incorrectly.
You see, decimation does not mean wiping out somebody entirely.
(31:30):
It's not what it means at all. It's a Latin
term that we're taken from a Latin term because that's
what the Romans spoke. It means essentially one tenth. That's
what it means, decimal one tenth. But how did that
work in practice? If you this? And this wasn't used
all the time in Rome. It was something they pulled
(31:52):
out occasionally if your unit failed terribly or showed cowardice
on the battlefield, they want to kill all of you.
Then you lose an entire unit. So they essentially drew straws.
You ever drawn straws, They drew straws, and they would
take one man out of ten and they would have
(32:14):
his nine buddies, his nine friends, his nine buddies in
his unit. They would beat him to death. Horrible, isn't it?
Absolutely awful? In fact, the Italians brought this practice back
during that Italian World War One campaign. They would routine
because there were all kinds of mutinies and all kinds
(32:36):
of things going on because of the horrible battlefield conditions,
they would just draw straws, find ten guys, twelve guys,
and have the entire unit lineup and shoot him. Why
would you do something so horrible. I don't support the practice.
I should note, but why is that something that's a thing,
(32:58):
because you just got to make an exampmple of one
and the others will learn. It is everything that we
defeat John Cornyan next year in his Texas primary. It
is everything, because John Cornyn, if you could build from
(33:18):
scratch the evil establishment DC swamp gop guy that I
just described, you would build John Cornyn. And if we
are able to take him out in a primary in
a red state, it'll do so much more than improve
the United States Senate. It will send a message to
(33:38):
every single one of these losers in the establishment that
they had better be really, really careful when they think
about screwing us over again, because now we have changed,
Now we are involved. Now we will take you out
in a primary if you do us wrong. We have
(34:00):
never sent these senators that message ever, We never do it.
Every time we don't show up in the primary, or
if we do, we do the same lame crap and
we show up and vote for the guy who's been
there screwing us over. These senators have lived on that.
They have lived on our stupidity and our complacency. If
(34:22):
we can change that and take out a GOP senator
as powerful as John Cornyn. He's going to have unlimited money.
It will be unlimited. If we can take him out
with all that power, all that money, if we can
take him out in a primary, it will send a
shot across the bow of all these types. And look,
(34:48):
I am aware of the Trump factor. I am, I
am for all his benefits there is. I'm not sure
there's a worse person to pick GOP primaries, a worst
selector of GOP primaries in the history of the Republican
Party than Donald Trump. It's unbelievable. Look, one day he'll
(35:09):
wake up and he'll call for a primary of Chip Roy,
and the next day he wakes up and pours love
all over Lindsey Graham and endorses him. John Cornyn didn't
drop that SoundBite that we played for you earlier. I'm
a Trump guy. I love Trump, always loved Trump. He
didn't drop that on accident. The rumor mill. The rumor
(35:30):
mill is saying that John Thune, GOP Senate leader, John Thune,
very powerful man, that his minions are pouring honey in
Trump's ear as we speak. Hey man, you gotta endorse
corn and Hey, Cornyn's there for you. Endorse corn and
please endorse Cornan. We don't have to pray that Donald
(35:51):
Trump gets involved on behalf of Ken Paxton. Maybe he will,
maybe he won't, But pray that Donald Trump does not
endorse John Cornyn, because if he does endorse John Cornyn,
and you better believe that's a possibility. Write that one down, Chris.
If he does endorse John Cornyn, we're probably toast. It
(36:12):
probably completely decaps our effort here. So look again, we
don't have to have him on Ken Paxton's side. As
of right now, Ken Paxton is pulling ahead of John Cornyn.
We can win this. We just can't have him counter
signal that he's the most powerful, most influential Republican in
the country. If he comes in on Cornyn's side, there's
probably no way we're going to overcome that, Norm and
(36:34):
Norm will hear oh okay, it's what Trump wants, and
then we're finished. So pray about that now. I don't
know how long it's going to take me to wrap
up this World War One thing. May just be a
segment or two, maybe the whole hour. We'll wrap that
up and then we'll move on talk about some other
issues in the country. Let's first save a baby's life.
That's what we do with preborn. We save a baby's life.
(36:58):
Once a woman sees her baby, once they hear the heartbeat.
Did you know this, They're twice as likely to choose life.
It doubles the baby's chance at living doubles because of
your twenty eight dollars. That is being the hands and feet,
not just saying your pro life, not just railing against abortion.
(37:18):
How are you changing the hearts of the young women
who want to kill their babies. These young women don't
know they're lost, their uninformed. When she hears that heartbeat,
then she knows that she's a mom already with a
baby to protect. It is alive. You and Preborn are
saving these lives every day. It's tax deductible. Give what
(37:42):
you can twenty eight bucks. Give twenty eight bucks a month,
Give it automatic. You never know what's gone. Give them
as much as you want. I don't care. Preborn dot
com slash jesse is where you give preborn dot com
slash jesse sponsored by Preborn. We'll be back
This is a Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Let's have some fun on a Wednesday. It's hum day
and it's an enormous day today. Yes, we are going
(00:32):
to discuss China, the tariff thing. In fact, we're gonna
discuss Donald Trump himself because apparently ninety nine percent of
the country needs an education on somebody, everyone, someone everyone
should be familiar with at this point in time. We'll
talk about that. We're gonna wrap up our World War
One history story at the start of our number two.
(00:53):
That's always a really good time. Some very very terrible
admiral got kicked out of the Navy. Someone terrible got
kicked out of the Irs. We'll talk about the Communist infiltration,
naming your kids, Michelle Obama's podcast as a gigantic flop,
all that emails, and so much more coming up tonight
(01:14):
on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But I actually
want to first start with Trump tariffs, China negotiating all
these things. I'll get to there that in a moment.
Let me tell you a little boot camp story. Marine
Corps boot camp. You see, Marine Corps boot camp is
(01:37):
a fascinating thing to a lot of people who've never
been through it, and to people who have been through it,
I'll say this Marine Corps boot Camp is so effective
at taking young people in molding them into something totally
different from what they were before. That. Marine Corps boot
(02:01):
Camp is studied by nations around the globe. Did you
know that they will send observers. Schools in other countries
will send observers to Marine Corps boot camp to try
to figure out, Wait, three months, it's three months worth.
How did you take that and turn him into that?
(02:24):
How do you do that? So here's something that happens
to you certainly happened to me multiple times in boot camp.
So I want you to picture this. Okay, this will
come back to Trump and everything else. You's got to
stay with me for a moment. You can picture in
your mind what the barracks look like in Marine Corps
boot camp. You've seen enough movies to know I'm not
(02:44):
going to insult your intelligence. You know you have rows
of bunks on each of the sides, and then rows
of bunks up the middle. Right, you picture this is
the barracks. It's Marine Corps boot camp. Here's a bunk.
You got it? Okay, At the foot of every single bunk,
because again it's two beds, there are two foot lockers.
(03:07):
You know what a foot locker is. The big rectangular
box in this foot locker in boot camp is everything
you own. And I want to stress you're not going
to find your iPhone in there. It's everything you're allowed
to have, which is only Marine Corps stuff. That's it.
I think when I was in you were allowed to
(03:28):
have some letter writing things if you wanted to physically
write a letter home, other than that your foot locker.
It is as marine as it gets. And one of
the most amazing things is, let's say there are eighty
people in a boot camp platoon. If you went up
and down the line and opened up eighty foot lockers,
(03:50):
all eighty would look virtually identical. They are organized the
same way, labeled the exact same way. This is here,
that is there. You have little labels on your socks,
on your everything. Everything is folded or rolled in the
exact same way, clean, neat organized. You're picturing this. Stay
(04:11):
with me now. There will come a day if you
find yourself a Marine Corps boot camp where the drill
instructors are going to punish you the infraction will generally
be real, but it usually is not that big of
(04:33):
a deal, at least not in your mind at the time.
Your buddy didn't shave. Maybe there's a foot locker inspection
and you will definitely have those. You will be forced
to unlock your foot locker, open it up, and they
will go through to make sure everything is labeled and
organized correctly. Or who God forbid, they walk by and
(04:55):
they find your foot locker has been unlocked. You may
catch the drill instructor on the wrong day, or maybe,
just like in Donald Trump's case, maybe this is all planned.
The drill instructors will collectively lose their minds on you,
and this is what will happen. Next. You're picturing all
(05:15):
these bunks. Remember the bunks have been meticulously made down
to the inch. It has to be done perfectly. The
footlockers meticulous. Everything's done perfectly. The instructors will well, at
least the time they did it to us. They herded
us all into the bathroom. We all piled into the
bathroom where they dumped ammonia on the floor so we
(05:37):
couldn't breathe. As guys are trying to get their breath
and crying. The drill instructor crying just because it's in
your eyes. The drill instructors went back out to the barracks,
took every single bunk, destroyed it, dumped the mattress and
the things on the bunk into a one big pile
in the center of the barracks. They then took every
(05:58):
single foot locker of them, eight zero, meticulously organized. They
made you unlock it beforehand, and then they dumped the
contents of every single foot locker in the exact same
pile in the middle of the barracks. And then they
dragged you, coughing and crying, out of the bathroom and
(06:19):
essentially said, look, you have ten minutes fix it, which,
of course is impossible, and if I remember right, it
was probably two or three hours of We would run
as fast as we could to get everything fixed. Is
that your shoes? Those are my socks? Help me with
(06:40):
the bed, someone helped me with this. You would fail
because it can't be done in ten minutes. They would
then drag everything back into the center, dump it all
out in the center, and make you do it again
and again and again and again and again. Now, why
is it just torture? Is that it are you're right, Chris,
(07:01):
maybe that's a little bit of it. Is it just torture.
Chaos and the appearance of chaos can be extremely beneficial
if it's intentional, if there's a purpose to it, you
will learn in the end. You want to hear something insane,
(07:22):
here's something insane, but it's true. Towards the end of
that two hours, you're sweating, you're doing pushups, you're miserable,
you're frustrated. They're dumping, they're yelling. It's horrible. Towards the
end of that two hours, myself and most of my
close friends, when the drill instructors weren't looking, started laughing
(07:44):
about the whole thing. This is just ridiculous. This sucks.
Oh gosh, life sucks. You're laughing about the whole thing.
You learn to deal with the chaos, the misery, to
process it a different way, and there's an educational benefit.
How many guys left their foot lockers unlocked after that
(08:08):
fateful day zero. When you open up the doors and
you walk in and drill instructors are dumping everyone's stuff
in the center, it looks like chaos, insanity, anarchy, pointless insanity.
That's what it looks like, but chaos or the appearance
(08:30):
of it, can be used to great benefit and has
been used to great benefit time and time and time again.
So let's talk about Donald Trump. It's gonna be kind
of about tariffs, but it's not really about terriffs, because
there's something that I see happening repeatedly, over and over
(08:51):
and over again. Ninety nine percent of the US population
takes part in this, and it baffles me to no end.
Ump has a negotiating style that is not uncommon in
the business world. No, everybody doesn't do it like this,
but it's not uncommon in the business world. Trump has
(09:13):
an extremely chaotic or at least appearingly chaotic style of negotiating.
And so what he will do when he is trying
to get something out of Kim the tyrant in North Korea,
Trump will do and say everything. He will insult him.
(09:35):
He'll wake up one morning and go to social media.
This stupid fat blob in North Korea. What an idiot?
He better be careful. I'll shove a missile up his
rear end. And then the very next day I'll tell
you I've always gotten along with Kim. He's been a
pretty good dude. And I'll tell you very very reasonable,
and then the next day you wake up, I'll send
some warships over there, will pulverize that place to nothing.
(09:57):
Then the next day, you know, I could see some
nice properties in North Korea, and I think Kim has
a good vision for the country. And what happens is
Trump's worshippers and Trump's haters, they all react to every
single thing he says, every single day, running to and fro.
Did you see what Trump said out so cheat? It's
Oh my gosh, I love him. Oh my gosh, do
(10:17):
you see what Trump said? What an idiot, What a moron.
This guy's crazy, This guy's gonna destroy us. All his worshipers,
his lovers every single day chasing the laser across the
room like they're cats. Oh my gosh, it's great. It's
horrible that. Why are you still doing that to yourself?
Trump negotiates like that. It appears chaotic with a goal
(10:43):
in mind. And I'm not saying his goal was always correct.
I'm saying it's always wrong. He's aiming for something. Always
talk about that a little bit more in a moment
before we talk about that. Why are you putting up
with pain. Why do you think you to live like that?
You don't have to live doing the thing because your
(11:04):
back hurts every time you bend over. Oh I know
it does a sound familiar. Yeah, I know what that
feels like. Why are you doing the the rubbing your knee,
your elbow, your hand that hurts all the time. Stop
and stop taking things to mask it because that's terrible
for you. Try relief Factor one hundred percent drug free
to supplement. It's a unique formula of natural ingredients. You see,
(11:30):
your body's already trying to fight the inflammation. Your body's
just needs a little boost. That's what relief Factor is
to boost. Stop treating it temporarily and stop ignoring it
and get it out of your life so you can
get back to living the way you want to live.
Three weeks of it is nineteen ninety five one eight
hundred the number four relief or go to relief Factor
(11:54):
dot com. We'll be back. This is the Jesse Kelly Show.
It is the Jesse Kelly's Show on a magnificent Wednesday,
a hump day. Reminding you you can email the show
Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Yes, we got a
bunch of hate mail, two of things I said yesterday,
(12:16):
and all kinds of people who love the history hated
the history. I don't care. We're still going to do
that again. About forty five minutes from now, back to
what we were talking about, and I'll play you some
Trump things from today, because you saw it. It was
two three days of everyone's getting a tariff. Terraffs for everybody.
Today we wake up and hold on a minute, just
(12:38):
China's getting a tariff.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It have brought more than seventy five countries forward to negotiate.
It took great courage, great courage for him to stay
the course until this moment. And what we have ended
up with here, as I told everyone a week ago
there in this very spot, do not retaliate and you
(12:59):
will be rewarded. So every country in the world who
wants to come and negotiate, we are willing to cure you.
We're going to go down to a ten percent basedline
tariff live for them, and China will be raised to
one five due to their insistence on escalation.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
China, you wanted to escalate, yours gets jacked through the roof.
Everyone else who was nice about it. Come on to
DC let's work out a deal. Scott Piscent talked about
it more.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
But in terms of escalation, unfortunately, the biggest defender in
the global trading system is China, and they're the only
country who's escalated. And I can tell the rest of
the world that I'm not sure whether it's the Prime
minister or the Economic minister in Spain made some comments
(13:50):
this morning, Oh well, maybe we should align ourselves more
with China. That would be cutting your own throat, because
I can tell you that these Chinese exports that the
US tariff wall is going to keep out that China.
For all of you who can remember that Disney's.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, you got it. Caroline Levit talked about it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
As you all know, the President just put out a
statement announcing an additional tariff on China. The tariff on
China will now go up to one hundred and twenty
five percent because China.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
How did all work out like this? Well, Trump himself
said something pretty revealing. You Trump haters who hate everything
he does, and you Trump worshipers who worship everything he does,
should listen closely.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm telling you these countries are calling us up, kissing
my end. They are dying to make it to you. Please,
please make it to you. I'll do anything. I'll do anything, sir.
And then I'll see some rebel Republican, you know, some
guy that wants to grandstand say I think that Congress
should take over negotiations.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You don't negotiate like I negotiate.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You don't negotia like I negotiate. Vietnam pledges to buy
more US goods as it seeks urgent trade talks, trade talks.
Everything's on the table, says on potentially delisting Chinese stocks.
Bascente says aligning with China with trade is like cutting
your own throat. We just played that for you over
(15:20):
and over and over again. And this is not me
coming here telling you that Donald Trump's tariff trade war
was the most brilliant thing in history. And this is
not me coming here telling you that Trump's tariff trade
war was the dumbest thing in history. Neither of those
things are true. This is me telling you that Donald
(15:42):
Trump has a goal in mind. He has a chaotic
way of negotiating things where he will come down seemingly
on all sides of every issue. He will insult and
compliment every person involved in every issue, and from the
outside look looking in, it appears chaotic. And if you
(16:03):
take anything he says during negotiations as face value as
evidence of his brilliance or the fact that he's the
devil himself, you are in fact the moron, because we
have years, in years in gears of evidence showing this
is how he does it. When Trump talks about Greenland,
it's actually a perfect example of this. Can you even
(16:25):
go down the list of all the things he's said
about Greenland? I want Greenlan. We're gonna buy it. I
think we'll buy it. Now, you know what, we might
military invade it. I think Obama I love the people there. Hey,
the people there better be careful. I'm not really sure.
I might send a smart bomb. I might send some cash. Hey,
what do you think? And every single day, whether you
adore Donald Trump or whether you think he's garbage, he
(16:47):
gives you something else to wrap your arms around and say, look,
look he's a moron. I told you he's a moron.
Or look look I told you he's perfect. Look at
the God King. He's perfect. He's a man with a goal,
and he has an eye idea of how to get
to the goal, and chaotic negotiating is how he gets
to every single goal, every single time. I didn't say
(17:10):
you can't insult the goal. Maybe you don't like the goal.
That's fine. You're a human being with thoughts and feelings,
and you're allowed to have opinions on Trump too. Hate
him or love him, I don't care. But let's rise
above the stupid daily noise. Let's rise above reacting and
responding to everything Trump says when he's in the middle
(17:33):
of a negotiation. What Trump says when he's in the
middle of a negotiation. I'm not going to say it's
meaningless because he does it with a purpose, but it
is nothing, absolutely nothing that you should ever take the
heart because one day he's going to call you a fat,
ugly moron, and the next day he's gonna wake up
(17:53):
and tell you you're the most beautiful person he's ever
seen in his life. Is it Trump being differ Yeah,
it's very different. It's very, very different. It's hard for
a lot of people to understand what's going on, but
that's what he's doing. And you know what, Today it's
about tariffs in China. Tomorrow it'll be about something else,
(18:13):
And the next day it'll be about something else, and
the eternal hyperventilating class will continue every day, responding to
everything said as if what I just said isn't painfully obvious.
He has a purpose. Chaotic negotiations have a purpose, and
(18:34):
Trump uses them to his advantage. Let's at least be
mature enough to realize that. All right, let's talk about
something else wonderful that just happened yesterday. Next. This is
the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
(18:56):
On a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday. I'm so happy to be or,
as you can tell, I'm in a better mood today.
Got some good breakfast tacos this morning that really put
me on what Chris, No different place, Buddy, I told
you a different place, that other one. I'm never going back, buddy,
powdered eggs. You're dead to me. You're dead to me.
You might as well spit in my face. Anyway, had
some good breakfast tacos today. It really it set the
(19:19):
tone for my day. When I wake up, knock out
some good breakfast tacos. This is going to be a
good day now. I'm maybe I'm just in a good
mood because of the news out of Texas. Spoiler alert,
I'll circle back to this, haha, Jen Zaki, I'll circle
back to it. But Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General Ken
(19:42):
Paxton announced last night that he's going to challenge John Cornyan,
Texas Senator John Cornyn in a primary. John Cornyn's primary
is next year, So pause on that. We'll come back
to that specific thing. Why why can't we get things
is done faster? It's April ninth. How much of the
(20:06):
Trump agenda that you voted for, how much of it
has been written into law? We have the we have
the House, we have the Senate. Why isn't more getting done?
That's concrete, right? I like the executive orders? You like
the executive orders? That's fine, But you know, just like
I do. I know you know this. You email about
(20:27):
it all the time. Next guy's just gonna come in
and undo them all? Sameway Trump on did Biden's Why
isn't more getting done? Why are why aren't we getting
real spending cuts? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Well? Congress
is the problem. The House and Senate. Remember it's all Congress,
the House and Senate. Okay, well, that's kind of general though,
(20:47):
who who's the problem? Long serving Republicans you know them
as establishment or swamp types. They are not only the
problem in DC. They are the ones who keep their
foot in the door so communism can continue to invade
(21:10):
every single part of the United States of America. They
are not the communists themselves, They're the ones who keep
the door open. So how did they even stay there?
What's going on? Well, here's how it works. I've explained
it before in DC, the Mitch McConnell's of the world,
the John Cornyns of the world. How it works is
they get to Washington, DC and what you find out
(21:31):
is this. I actually experienced this when I was running
for office. These gigantic industries, some good, some bad, but
in general they're just industries that are in it for themselves.
They start lobbying you, they will You'll end up at
a dinner with them, at a party with them, at
something with them, and they'll will make this about the
(21:52):
defense industry because it's one of the most crooked industries
in the country. Let's say you're at the at a
big dinner and all the big show from Who's a
Big One Boeing are there? All the big shots from
Boeing are there, and they're gonna start pouring honey in
your ear about how necessary this weapon system is and
how necessary that one is. And why are they telling
(22:12):
that to you, Senator? They're saying that to you because
there's a new budget coming up and they want to
ensure that you will put a large amount of money
for them in the new bill that's coming. Okay, but
why would you do that. You're a senator from a
red state. Your constituents want you to be fiscally responsible. Well,
(22:33):
you do that because there's a there's a give and take.
If you will, they're going to make sure your campaign
coffers are full of millions and millions of dollars. That's
how it works. They will write gigantic checks for your
reelection campaign. You will take the gigantic checks that have
(22:57):
been written to you by the DC swamp. The DC
swamp is rich, and you will not only fund your
own reelection campaign, you will shell that money out to
other senators or potential senators. You'll host big fundraisers for them,
You'll write them checks, and in return, they will elect
(23:18):
you to important, powerful committee positions in the Senate because
you help them out. Hey, Chris, here's ten million dollars
for your Senate campaign and Montana. Oh, you won your
Senate campaign in Montana. Hey, Chris, can I count on
your vote for GOP leadership in the Senate? Oh? I can.
That's wonderful. Now that I'm in GOP leadership, I have
(23:42):
even more access to DC swamp money because I have
even more power. Okay, you get how it works, right.
The more you suck up to the DC swamp, the
more money comes in. The more money comes in, the
more you fund your reelection, and the more you buy influence. Now,
the problem with that is you become as an establishment Republican.
(24:05):
You become highly highly invested in everything staying exactly as
it is. Reform, what cuts, That's the last thing in
the world you want. In fact, you are paid buy
these industries in a roundabout way. You are paid by
(24:26):
these industries in part to ensure there is no reform.
You are paid to make sure nothing changes. That's what
John Cornyn, that's why he gets all that money, That's
why all that money flows in. He is paid by
industries who want the crooked status quo to remain. And
(24:48):
on top of buying all that influence, he does something else. Honestly,
this will apply to all of America, not just Texas.
Stay with me here, because they all do it. Connell
does it, Thoon does it, Cassidy does it, Rounds does it,
Graham does it. They all do it. They'll do it.
They hoover up all this DC cash. They screw us
(25:10):
over for five of the six years they're in the
United States Senate because senators serve six year terms, and
then well you see, if you have to defend them.
They understand norm They understand Norma. They understand the GOP
primary voter. They know who he is, they know where
(25:33):
he is, they know what he watches, they know what
he listens to. And when electioneer rules around, they take
millions and millions and millions of dollars that's been hoovered
up from the DC swamp and they saturate the television airwaves,
the radio airwaves. Today it's social media is a huge
(25:55):
place where they spend a bunch of money YouTube or Twitter,
Facebook or wherever you may be, install gram. They spend
millions and millions and millions of dollars telling Norman Norma
how conservative they are. And now more importantly, they tell
them how much they love Trump. John Cornyn actually grabbed
this sound, but if you can find it, Chris, it
(26:16):
was from yesterday Ken Paxton, or maybe it was from today.
Ken Paxton announced on the news last night that he
was going to challenge John Cornyn for this Senate seat.
Maybe Chris will find it, maybe he won't. But John
Corny was asked about it in the Senate building, and
I think John Cornyn mentioned Donald Trump's name five times
in his response. Oh, what's that? I'm being challenged for
(26:37):
my Senate seat? Oh? Did I sign up with Democrats
for gun controlling things like that?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You know what? You know what I have to say
to that. I'm a big fan of Trump. I'm a
Trump guy and Trump this and Trump Trump Trump. I've
always loved Trump, and I love Trump Now I love
him even more and I'm a big trump man. That's
gonna be what he runs on. He's going to spend
million biggins in millions of dollars telling GOP primary voters
(27:05):
in Texas that he and Trump they're best friends. Look
at Donald Trump and me. I love being part of
Trump and Trump this and Trump that. I love it. Oh, Chris,
you have it? Yeah, play. This was John Corner today.
Do you have any.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Level of concern about Paxton running for the right of
you in this primary?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well, the biggest potential loser is President Trump's agenda. I've
been a supporter of the President during his first term
of office, and that's continued during his current term. Mister
Paxton has a checker background. He is a con man
and a fraud and I think the people of Texas
(27:46):
know that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh well, father just love Trump. But that brings me,
of course, to this primary and why you should care.
No matter where you're listening right now, you don't have
to be in Texas to care about this. I'm going
to explain flat out why you should care. In fact,
I might even do a little bit of World War
(28:08):
One history next segment to prep for the final one,
in order to show you why and how you should
care before we get to that. Though I know you
love history, well half you do. I love it. I
can't get enough of it. And it's very very difficult,
very difficult to find somebody who can make it interesting.
(28:30):
I found that it's an eternal frustration of mine. Hillsdale
makes it interesting. When Hillsdale's offering a free online course
about stories from the Book of Genesis. Doesn't that sound
like that has the potential to be boring? Oh my gosh,
it's amazing. It's amazing the way Hillsdale presents these things
(28:55):
in a way that not only I can enjoy it
as a history freak, but my kids, my wife. You
want a free online course about the Constitution the Roman Republic,
Hillsdale's giving them out at no cost. I just so
appreciate that. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse gets you a
(29:16):
Hillsdale education at no cost. Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse.
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Wednesday, a hunt day,
ten minutes away from doing some history, and then in
the final hour we go through hate mail. Michelle Obama's
(29:39):
podcast is drowning, the head of the Irs is leaving,
and a woman named November June. Gosh, what a spectacular
show we still have on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now,
why should you care about the Texas Senate primary unless
you're in Texas right, listen to me, But why should
you care? Well, we don't have one of these types.
(30:05):
John Cornyn types. We have a lot of them. I'm
not talking about Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski from these
kind of purple states where that's about as good as
we can hope for. We have a lot of these
entrenched DC swamp establishment types. You know their names, Lindsey
(30:26):
Graham and John Thune and Cassidy and Rounds and Tillis
and the look. I could go down the list of them.
Red state after red state after red state. They get
in there, they feel completely secure in their seat because
they're from blood red states, and they feel completely confident
(30:48):
that they can screw their constituents over and then buy
their way out of trouble in an election year. And
they've been able to operate that way for a long time.
But you can make an example of somebody. We've been
talking about the Italian campaign of World War One. In fact,
(31:09):
I'm going to wrap that up here in about ten
minutes from now. You know what decimation is. You ever
heard that term? You probably have, Most people have. We
got decimated a decimation, but people actually use that term incorrectly.
You see, decimation does not mean wiping out somebody entirely.
(31:30):
It's not what it means at all. It's a Latin
term that we're taken from a Latin term because that's
what the Romans spoke. It means essentially one tenth. That's
what it means, decimal one tenth. But how did that
work in practice? If you this? And this wasn't used
all the time in Rome. It was something they pulled
(31:52):
out occasionally if your unit failed terribly or showed cowardice
on the battlefield, they want to kill all of you.
Then you lose an entire unit. So they essentially drew straws.
You ever drawn straws, They drew straws, and they would
take one man out of ten and they would have
(32:14):
his nine buddies, his nine friends, his nine buddies in
his unit. They would beat him to death. Horrible, isn't it?
Absolutely awful? In fact, the Italians brought this practice back
during that Italian World War One campaign. They would routine
because there were all kinds of mutinies and all kinds
(32:36):
of things going on because of the horrible battlefield conditions,
they would just draw straws, find ten guys, twelve guys,
and have the entire unit lineup and shoot him. Why
would you do something so horrible. I don't support the practice.
I should note, but why is that something that's a thing,
(32:58):
because you just got to make an exampmple of one
and the others will learn. It is everything that we
defeat John Cornyan next year in his Texas primary. It
is everything, because John Cornyn, if you could build from
(33:18):
scratch the evil establishment DC swamp gop guy that I
just described, you would build John Cornyn. And if we
are able to take him out in a primary in
a red state, it'll do so much more than improve
the United States Senate. It will send a message to
(33:38):
every single one of these losers in the establishment that
they had better be really, really careful when they think
about screwing us over again, because now we have changed,
Now we are involved. Now we will take you out
in a primary if you do us wrong. We have
(34:00):
never sent these senators that message ever, We never do it.
Every time we don't show up in the primary, or
if we do, we do the same lame crap and
we show up and vote for the guy who's been
there screwing us over. These senators have lived on that.
They have lived on our stupidity and our complacency. If
(34:22):
we can change that and take out a GOP senator
as powerful as John Cornyn. He's going to have unlimited money.
It will be unlimited. If we can take him out
with all that power, all that money, if we can
take him out in a primary, it will send a
shot across the bow of all these types. And look,
(34:48):
I am aware of the Trump factor. I am, I
am for all his benefits there is. I'm not sure
there's a worse person to pick GOP primaries, a worst
selector of GOP primaries in the history of the Republican
Party than Donald Trump. It's unbelievable. Look, one day he'll
(35:09):
wake up and he'll call for a primary of Chip Roy,
and the next day he wakes up and pours love
all over Lindsey Graham and endorses him. John Cornyn didn't
drop that SoundBite that we played for you earlier. I'm
a Trump guy. I love Trump, always loved Trump. He
didn't drop that on accident. The rumor mill. The rumor
(35:30):
mill is saying that John Thune, GOP Senate leader, John Thune,
very powerful man, that his minions are pouring honey in
Trump's ear as we speak. Hey man, you gotta endorse
corn and Hey, Cornyn's there for you. Endorse corn and
please endorse Cornan. We don't have to pray that Donald
(35:51):
Trump gets involved on behalf of Ken Paxton. Maybe he will,
maybe he won't, But pray that Donald Trump does not
endorse John Cornyn, because if he does endorse John Cornyn,
and you better believe that's a possibility. Write that one down, Chris.
If he does endorse John Cornyn, we're probably toast. It
(36:12):
probably completely decaps our effort here. So look again, we
don't have to have him on Ken Paxton's side. As
of right now, Ken Paxton is pulling ahead of John Cornyn.
We can win this. We just can't have him counter
signal that he's the most powerful, most influential Republican in
the country. If he comes in on Cornyn's side, there's
probably no way we're going to overcome that, Norm and
(36:34):
Norm will hear oh okay, it's what Trump wants, and
then we're finished. So pray about that now. I don't
know how long it's going to take me to wrap
up this World War One thing. May just be a
segment or two, maybe the whole hour. We'll wrap that
up and then we'll move on talk about some other
issues in the country. Let's first save a baby's life.
That's what we do with preborn. We save a baby's life.
(36:58):
Once a woman sees her baby, once they hear the heartbeat.
Did you know this, They're twice as likely to choose life.
It doubles the baby's chance at living doubles because of
your twenty eight dollars. That is being the hands and feet,
not just saying your pro life, not just railing against abortion.
(37:18):
How are you changing the hearts of the young women
who want to kill their babies. These young women don't
know they're lost, their uninformed. When she hears that heartbeat,
then she knows that she's a mom already with a
baby to protect. It is alive. You and Preborn are
saving these lives every day. It's tax deductible. Give what
(37:42):
you can twenty eight bucks. Give twenty eight bucks a month,
Give it automatic. You never know what's gone. Give them
as much as you want. I don't care. Preborn dot
com slash jesse is where you give preborn dot com
slash jesse sponsored by Preborn. We'll be back
