Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Let's have some.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Fun on a Monday, a fantastic Monday with huge, gigantic
things happening in the country, on the planet. Medal of
Honor Monday, of course, is coming up an hour from now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yes, we'll talk about the Trump China tear thing. We're
gonna address some big pharma stuff. We're gonna dig into
the swamp, the system, whether there you have many many questions,
Epstein files, all kinds of things like that, all that emails, fun,
I upset up on Mother's Day, and so much more
(00:59):
coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Let's first begin with I don't know whether to do
the good, the bad, or the ugly. So you know
what we're going to do first, the maybe what Chris,
It's fine, it'll be fine. Let's address the China thing.
Now here's what Trump said.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
We achieved a total reset with China after productive talks
in Geneva. Both sides now agreed to reduce the tariffs
imposed after April second to ten percent for ninety days.
As negotiators continue. In the largest structural issues, we're not
looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly.
(01:42):
They were closing up factories, they were having a lot
of unrest, and they were very happy to be able
to do something with us. And the relationship is very
very good.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, let's have a China talk. Isn't that the lamest
thing in the world forum? Well, or policy of foreign country?
You know, I don't. I don't spend a lot of
time on it, but it really really is going to
matter for our conversation about trade, tariff's, deficit, trade deficits,
things like that. First of all, China, China is a
(02:17):
very very big place. You already know that. A lot
of people. You already know that. And it is run
by the Communist Party of China, the CCP. You know
all that, okay, And jijiin Ping is the head of it.
Now for most people, most people they think about Communist
(02:38):
China was Jijin Ping, and they think it's kind of
a maw, total dictator control of the country's situation. And
that's kind of true, but kind of not true. Let
me explain. Yes, Jijinping is all powerful, well, very powerful there.
(03:02):
Jijinping has taken many steps over the years as he's
risen through the ranks of the Communist Party to make
sure his leadership is cemented in to eliminate his competition. However,
there is something boiling, a couple things boiling and bubbling
underneath the surface. And I know you may not care
(03:24):
about China, so you're just gonna have to hang with
me for a second, because it's very much going to
apply to this trade war teariff thing with us. Here's
a couple of the things bubbling beneath the surface. Jijinping
is discovering what virtually every single horrible dictator in the
history of mankind has discovered. Stalin discovered it, Mao discovered it,
(03:47):
all of them, kings in the past have discovered it.
No matter how much power you acquire in your country,
no matter how much wealth, no matter how big your
armies are, no matter what if you have a lot
of power, you are going to have people inside of
your country, other powerful people inside of your country. They're
(04:12):
going to be after it. They are going to be
threatening you at all times. You know, at some point
in time, and I'm not making a promise on a
date yet, we're going to dig into an Alexander the
Great History, as I promised you I would, and I've
already begun in case you're wondering for the research and
all that other stuff on it. One of the things
that has hit me so hard about the Alexander the
(04:32):
Great stuff is, Okay, you have Alexander the Great. This
They knew right away that we have some kind of
prodigy here for a military commander. And right after he
took power, his dad dies. He takes power, he takes
this incredible army his father had built, and he goes
and he has to crush a bunch of rebellions inside
of Greece. People inside of Greece were all, hey, let's
(04:55):
rebell now. Alexander the Great just went and stalked all
of them into the ground. Not only do you have
this prodigy, he's a proven prodigy with the greatest army
on the planet, and he takes that army overseas and
he's going fight the Persians. You got all that, Alexander
the Great had to dedicate unbelievable amounts of time to
(05:17):
stopping a rebellion back home in a coup. I don't
even want to say rebellion. A coup back home, Powerful
politicians generals, royal family, if we have to use those terms.
We're talking about a military commander with the greatest army
in the world at his fingertips, who's already proven he
knows how to use it. Even that guy is having
(05:39):
to sit and fight wall Is that guy gonna knife
be in the back? Am I going to be? All
dictators discover there are limits. There's no such thing as
all powerful. The more powerful they get, frankly, the more
paranoid they get. So what has Jijinping been doing? Well,
he's a communist, so you know exactly what he's been doing,
killing his rivals. Now we're not supposed to say that,
(06:02):
you're supposed to say disappearing them. But there's a fascinating video.
I can't pronounce the guy's name, so I can't even
point you to the video, but you're welcome to go
look it up and find it. You'll find it pretty easily.
And this was recently a last year or two, an
old Chinese man. They were having a big meeting, we'll
call it their congress. They were having a big meeting,
(06:23):
and this old Chinese man, a very very powerful communist,
had lost a critical bit of power. They went up
to him in front of everybody, and they escorted him
from the room. Gone, and you can tell by the
look on his face he knows, yeah, I'm dead. That's it.
(06:44):
Generals will just disappear. You don't do that when you
are one hundred percent secure in your power. You do
that when you are insecure. That's what led Stalin to
killing all those politicians in generals. When he's started doing it,
he was insecure, who's going to have a coup, Who's
going to take me out? Jijinping is not secure in
(07:06):
his power. Now, I just laid all that out, But
there's a second thing bubbling underneath the surface, more than
just generals or other Communist Party members, the people of China.
It can be common when you're not in China and
I'm not and you aren't. I'm never allowed to go.
The state of the Communist Party there hates me, so
I'll probably be imprisoned if I go. So I'm never
allowed to go. But China, it's easy to think of
(07:30):
those billion Chinese people as little slaves who work for nothing,
and they are forced to do what they do, and
they don't really have any hopes or dreams or thoughts
it's just a sea of Chinese slaves in a sweatshop somewhere.
Now that is not totally true. Oh yeah, they're in sweatshops. Yes,
(07:54):
they work them seven days a week over there because
they believe keeping people busy will keep the read of
rebellion down. But those people in China, they need things too,
and they want things too. They want pay, they want
a television, air conditioning, they want to be able to
(08:16):
afford to take the family out to Red Robster or
something like that on a Friday night. That's what they want.
So Jijinping has a problem, and we this is about us,
after all, We in turn have a problem. And the
problem is this. Jijinping has built his economy and therefore
(08:42):
he has built his political power on the fact that
Chinese people make vast well i'll say everything. I know
that's not true, but he's built it on the fact
that Chinese people make everything and sell it to the world.
That's how their entire economy has been built has been built.
They have built their economy to run a trade surplus
(09:04):
where they will make the goods in China. The workers
will stay busy making the goods in China, and then
China will in turn sell the goods to the planet. Now,
this is not a one city thing or one little
sector thing. That is the Chinese economy. The Chinese economy,
(09:26):
in fact, let's be honest, the Chinese system of government
is built on Chinese people in mass quantities making the
things the world will purchase and use. Now back to
the trade talk again, I'll play it for you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We achieved a total reset with China after productive talks
in Geneva. Both sides now agree to reduce the tariffs
imposed after April second to ten percent for ninety days
as negotiators can continue in the largest structural issues.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We're not looking to hurt China.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
China was being hurt very badly and they were closing
up factories, they were having a lot of unrest, and they
were very happy to be able to do something with us.
And the relationship is very very good.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So was it a total reset? Where are we on this?
Are we Scott free? Let's talk about that now that
we got a little over the background and where we are.
Before we talk about that, Let's take care of widows
and orphans. You know about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
You know that they take care of gold Star families,
(10:38):
the ones we all forget about. Navy seal dies in
the Red Sea Tunnel to Towers is there paying off
the mortgage for his family, making sure his family's taken
care of. You lose your legs in Iraq. Tunnel to
Towers is there to build a smart home so you
don't need somebody for everything. They have a homeless veteran.
(11:01):
They have educational never Forget programs. They go across to
America teaching kids about nine to eleven, runs, walks, climbs.
This organization is out there caring for widows and orphans
and making sure we all remember our heroes. Isn't that
worth eleven dollars a month? Eleven bucks a month is
(11:22):
all they've ever asked for. T twot dot org is

T dot org. We'll be back, miss does catch up.
Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(11:44):
on a Monday, A fantastic Monday. Medal of Honor Monday
coming up forty five minutes. So now I'm gonna talk
about the big pharm of stuff. Don't think that is
going to escape me, But talk about the swamp the system.
I have a ton to get to there because of
the the Epstein stuff and other things going on. But
we are right now focusing on the US China thing,
(12:04):
and this thing is a bit of a coin flip.
I'm not going to recap the Chinese political economic situation.
I just did in the opening. But Jijinping needs needs
his people employed, or what he's going to have is
a billion Chinese people angry, and he potentially gets taken
(12:25):
out and shot one day, because that's how it ends
in communist countries. He knows those are the stakes of
the game. So he's got a problem. What happened We
started slapping tariffs on China, big fat tariffs on China. China,
as Trump laid out, immediately began having unrest problems. When
(12:50):
we say the Chinese economy demands, it's built on providing
everything for the world, those people have to work, work
in those factories or they don't get to eat. And
if they don't get to eat, they riot. Rioting. Protest
was already beginning. So what happened. We we agreed to
(13:15):
stop fighting temporarily. I want to stress that point, temporarily
for ninety days. We agreed we were going to take
off our tariffs, and China agreed they're going to take
off their retalitary tariffs, and we're going to work something out.
But something Trump said here is not really accurate. I
(13:36):
get why he said it, but it's not accurate at
all to be a.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We achieved a total reset with China.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No we didn't, No, we didn't. We paused our trade
argument for ninety days. But ninety days from now, the
same structural problems exist, and nothing is going to happen
between now and then that is going to change. That
(14:04):
meaning nothing is going to change the fact that China
has to have a billion slave laborers in the factories
seven days a week. Horjjin ping risks getting shot. To
put it bluntly, that's the stakes of the game we're in.
So I only brought this up to say this. I
(14:24):
am glad the market did well today. I am glad
Trump is doing things like dressing fentanyl and things like
that from China, and he is Remember they didn't take
off all of the tariff stuff. They are angry the
Trump administration. I mean they're angry, and they are focused
(14:45):
on the fact that China sends its fentanyl here, they
produce the fentanyl, they send it here. So we're addressing that.
But is everything going to go away or all these
problems going to work out? Well? Maybe, maybe not. Don't
(15:05):
don't think that today the whole China argument, the China debate, tariff.
Don't think for a second that today that ended at all.
It didn't. We got a ninety day reprieve and then
we'll see where we go from there. All right, Now,
let's move off of a maybe and let's talk about
something that I absolutely adore, I always have, I always will.
(15:31):
I love when an American president of any party fights
for American citizens. And Donald Trump maybe my favorite thing
about Donald Trump is that Donald Trump, the first time
he was president and now in his first hundred days
the second time he's president, he does not sit idly
(15:54):
by hoping. He makes it a priority when an American
citizen is held a broad by a foreign government, by
a terrorist organization, he will go get you and he
will bring you home. He announced, Well here what it ends.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The only American citizen is captured and held hostage by
HUMAS since October seventh, twenty twenty three, and he's coming.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Home to his parents, which is really great news meant
to me. It's bigness. They thought he was dead.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So that's it. You, an American citizen, any citizen of
any nation, really, but you, an American citizen, have every
right to expect and demand your president, no matter what
his party is, if you get yourself in trouble abroad,
(16:50):
that the American President will fight for you, go get
you and bring you home. In fact, I'll take it
a step further. You have every right to expect as
an American citizen if you are held abroad that potentially
military people will risk their lives to bring you home.
(17:11):
And if you ask the guys in the military who
do that sort of thing, they'll do it gladly. They
tell you that you have every right to expect that.
That's part of being a citizen. Being a citizen and
a servant or a subject are different things, because a
subject under a king, the obligations only go one way.
(17:36):
You owe him. You owe him. You are not a subject.
You are a citizen. Yes, you have to follow the law. Sorry,
you have to pay your taxes. I'm even sorry you're
about that. Yes, you have obligations to live in this society.
But obligations go both ways. And when you are held
overseas by anybody, whether it's Russia, China, North Korea, or Hamas,
(17:59):
you have every right to expect well better than this.
How many of them approximately you?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
So we don't know the exact number, but how many
legal permanent residents are we convinced they're still in Afghanistan.
We don't have an exact number, but it's but around
number thousands. Pardon in the thousands, in the thousands.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That was Anthony Blincoln. You have a right to expect better,
to demand better, and that Trump goes and gets our
people from Russia, from Hamas, from anywhere. I love that
about him. I do, and I salute you, mister President,
and I thank you for it. Now let's address India
and Pakistan. Try to curry favor with some people before
(18:39):
we do that. Let's talk about rough greens. Let's talk
about keeping your dog healthy in alive. We love our dogs,
don't we. I get emails all the time, Hey, hug
Fred for me. Believe me. Fred gets plenty of hugs, Okay,
and still somehow finds a way to demand more, but
plenty of hugs. And he is just part of our family,
(19:01):
like your dog is or your cat is part of
your family. So look, we care about what we feed
our kids, why don't we just give our dogs dog food.
Dogfood is dead, it's empty calories. It's a double cheeseburger
from a fast food joint. It's delicious, but it's got
no nutrition in it. Sprinkle Roughgreens on your dog's food
(19:23):
or your cat's food. They have milgreens, natural nutritional supplement
will keep that part of your family alive longer. Free

the Jesse Kelly Show. It's still real to me, Dammit
(19:45):
the rnstacks. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
wonderful Monday. Remember you can email the show Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. And I have something for everybody
with taste before we get to the other thing. Look,
you can tell a lot about people by what they
(20:07):
like and what they dislike, all right, and everyone knows
that highly intelligent people who have good taste, they want
to watch me do the show, not just listen what Chris.
They don't just want to listen. They want to enjoy
looking at me. What a blessing that is to be
able to look at me, if you would like to know.
In all seriousness, we used to simulcast the show on
(20:30):
the first TV, and as soon as that went away,
everybody started emailing in Superman, I can't find the show.
I can't find the show. Well, we were working on something.
We was behind the scenes stuff. Anyway, behind the scenes.
When I say we, I want to stress that I
wasn't involved at all. Chris and Corey were actually handling everything.
I didn't get involved or really know that this was happening,
(20:51):
but it did happen. And you can watch the show
at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Right, Chris, Ye, that's right.
I knew I nailed it. Jesse Kellyshow dot com. And
there's what, Chris, a button that says video. Is it
a button they click on it? Where's the button? Is
it in like the middle or the upper left or
upper right? But it's near the top, so it's not
(21:15):
at the top. Chris says, it's near the top. If
you go to Jesse Kellyshow dot com and click on
the video button, you will be well, it'll be quite
a treat. You'll get to watch me do the radio show,
and that's exciting, that's exciting. I'm happy for you. This
is more of a gift to you than anything else. Hey, Chris,
(21:36):
hey to even ask, but is it free? Do they
get charged for? It? Is free? I'm surprised at you
that you didn't throw some sort of a what a
money making venture of some kind in there. I thought
I thought you would do something anyway, It's free, Jesse
kellyshow dot com. Click on the video link near the top.
As Jewish producer Chris says, what Chris, I told you
(21:56):
I would announce it in there. I announced it. So
Trump made an announcement today India and Pakistan, and you
don't look. I've done more foreign policy in the last
twenty minutes than I really care to in any given show.
So I'm not going to spend any time on this
at all. Just remember, those two countries hate each other,
and they always have. Really, the reason they are exist
(22:18):
as separate countries is because they freaking hate each other.
And if you ever if that part of the world
fascinates you, it doesn't really me, But if it fascinates
you at all, go look into the creation of Pakistan
and the disaster that was that separation. Look, there is
a war that I don't want to say genocide because
(22:40):
that word is so overused. Is it overused in that case?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Chris?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Do you think it was a genocide? But it's a
lot of death, I'll put it that way, a lot
of death and horrible things as those two places divide. Anyway,
they hate each other, They've always hated each other, and
they're both nuclear powers, which is generally not good. You know,
last week they got in some huge kerfuffle. What a
great word. I had bk on last week to discuss
(23:06):
a lot of the background of it and everything. Anyway,
they started killing each other again, and you could easily
see that situation because of the historical hatred. You could
see that situation getting a little spicy pretty fast when
it's two nuclear parties. Trump made this announcement again. It
just does foreign policy very well.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
On Saturday, my administration helped broker a full and immediate ceasefire,
I think a permanent one between India and Pakistan, ending
a dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons,
and they were going at it hot and heavy and
it was seemingly not going to stop.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
We helped a lot. And we helped also with trade.
I said, come on, we're going to do a lot
of trade with you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
If you stop it, we'll do a trade. If you
don't stop it, we're not going to do any trade.
People have never really used trade the way I used it,
that I can tell you. And all of a sudden
they said, I think we're going to stop, and they have,
and we shopped the nuclear conflict.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I think it would it could have been a bad
nuclear war.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
This is why Donald Trump is good at foreign policy.
There are two reasons. There are two reasons that Donald
Trump is very good at foreign policy and very good
at these things. The first reason is love of country.
And that may sound like a stupid, hokey radio point,
but just stay with me on this. If I am
(24:34):
let's say, let's say we are negotiating with NBC News
to get the Jesse Kelly Show on NBC. Hey, believe me,
we are very much not and they would not be
interested at all. But let's say we were. Did Jesse
Kelly Show on NBC now in order to negotiate this deal.
(24:56):
Should I like the Jesse Kelly show. That would probably help, Right,
it would probably help. Should I appreciate you the listener,
care about you the listener? Should that matter to me,
the show, the show family? Should it matter? Well, of
course it should matter. When you're walking into a trade negotiation,
you better like the side you're negotiating for. Otherwise the
(25:17):
side you're negotiating for is gonna get screwed. Why do
Democrats constantly get screwed in foreign policy? Well, they instinctively
hate us worse than they hate whoever were negotiating with.
That's why every single time they walk in that room. Well,
you're right, we do kind of suck. Anyway, you should
screw us over because we suck. That's how they approach it. Trump,
(25:37):
for any problem you may have with him, has always
talked lovingly about America years and years and years, long
before he was politically involved. He genuinely loves the place.
So when he walks into one of these meetings, he's
walking in on our behalf. And I appreciate that, especially
when you contrast. It is a contrast or contrast, Chris,
(26:00):
I think you could use both. I went to community
college and we used both there anyway, especially when you
contrast that with the Democrat negotiating negotiating way of yeah,
America does suck. Hey, let's sign this deal. Screw what's bad.
So that's one reason. The second reason he's very good
at these things is this business background. Sometimes that business
(26:23):
background can serve you poorly, I should know. But when
it comes to foreign policy deals, it helps when you've
spent your entire eighty years on the planet bouncing around
the globe negotiating deals, and he approaches foreign policy affairs
like it's a real estate deal somewhere. Listen again, if
(26:44):
this is two countries who hate each other, nuclear powers,
who are currently beating each other to death, and this
is how you broke Saturday.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
My administration helped brokery full and immediate ceasefire, I think,
a permanent one between India and Pakistan and being a
dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons
and they were going at it hot and heavy and
it was seemingly not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We helped a lot.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And we helped also with trade. I said, come on,
we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Let's stop it. If you stop it, we'll do a trade.
If you don't stop it, we're not going to do
any trade.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
How great is that Trump approaches the whole thing of Hey,
let's do a deal. What are we fighting for? Us?
Don't need a fighter. You want to do a deal? Hey,
pre come over here, Mohammed, you too. Look you guys
want Do you want some falafel? Or do you not
want some? We'll throw an extra falafel. Pre what what, Chris?
I'm talking about the deal? Hey, come on, you want
(27:46):
something to do. Come on, let's come to the table
and let's negotiate. You can laugh and it is kind
of funny, but it works. Let's how you get people
to the table. You want do you want this? Do
you want that? We're going to come help you out
with it. And I appreciate it. Now, before we get
to the swamp stuff in the Medal of Honor stuff,
(28:07):
we have to do a little big pharma talk because
Trump made a huge announcement today about big pharma, and
this big pharma thing has everybody across the political spectrum
arguing today. The right is arguing with the right, the
(28:27):
right is arguing with the left, the left is arguing
with the left. The left is arguing with the right.
Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing?
What is what is the deal? But you have a
bunch of emails and we're going to talk about those before.
Before we do that, I want I want to get
you ready because this is going to be a lot
to talk about. In order to handle that, maybe lay
(28:51):
off the pharmaceuticals and stick with natural herbal supplements. Huh,
this is a priority in my life life. I have
tried avs all on board. Obviously, she'd probably have led
the charge on this. If I'm being honest with finding
natural solutions for things, whatever it may be, whatever you're

looking to improve upon, Chalk has something for you. Chalk

Trump said today about his executive order, his big pharma
executive order, I'm going to read you just a couple emails, Jesse.
COVID is my number one because it was the most pervasive,
invasive and detrimental, relatively speaking, the mass scientific experimentation on
(30:40):
the human race to test a proven to be ineffective
medical technology for free, in fact, be paid for it,
because not enough people wanted to engage in experimental trials.
Can we all Right? So there's a lot of big
pharma talk, this guy, said Jesse. Oftentimes I'll be sitting
in the doctor's office and way room and a dime
(31:01):
will stroll in. One hundred percent of the time that's
a pharmaceutical rep waiting to get called back to push
their latest drug on the doctor. Trump made a big
executive order, big announcement here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Was so for the first time in many years, we'll
slash the costs of prescription drugs, and we will bring
fairness to America. Drug prices will come down. But starting today,
the United States will no longer subsidize the healthcare of
foreign countries and will no longer tolerate profiteering and price
gouging from big pharma. But it's called most Favored nation.
We are going to pay the lowest price there is
(31:38):
in the world. We will get whoever is paying the
lowest price. That's the price that we're going to get.
I am doing this for the American people. I'm doing
this against the most powerful lobby in the world, probably
the drug lobby, drug and pharmaceutical lobby. But it's one
of the most important orders I think that's ever been signed,
certainly with regard to healthcare or health Well, he said this,
(32:01):
but I do want to say that Democrats could have
done this a long time ago. They have fought like
hell for the drug companies, and they knew they were doing.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The wrong thing. He hilariously said this.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
who's a business man, very very very top guy. Most
of you would have heard of him, highly neurotic, seriously overweight,
and he takes the fat the fat shot drug and
he called me up and.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
A fat shot drug. All right, I didn't. Finally, I'll
let them wrap up with this and then I'll give
you my thoughts.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
I think you're going to see a tremendous cut.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I mean, I know you're going to see.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
It in Medicaid and Medicare, and that cut will be
messive because drugs are fifty sixty percent of the cost.
So Medicaid costs the going down, and Medicare costs them
going down because of what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Okay, now, as I said, everyone arguing about this today,
because if you are, as I am, a free market person,
believe markets should be free. Then when you hear the
American President saying, hey, no, no, no, no, you're only
going to be allowed to charge this. You can't charge that,
(33:18):
you're not going to do, maybe that makes you sit
up in your chair and say, wait a minute, what's
this garbage? And look, maybe not. Maybe you're sitting there
and you're just nodding your head saying, yeah, we're being
ripped off. Screw these guys. But my only talk about
this is going to be this. The largest, comfortably the
(33:41):
largest lobbying arm in the United States of America is
the pharmaceutical industry. They give gigantic quantities quantities of wealth
to politicians so politicians can keep getting re elected in
return for these huge quantities of health the politicians have
(34:02):
put into place over years years, Republicans and Democrats have
done this, carve out after carve out after carve out,
handout after handout after handout to the pharmaceutical companies. This
has happened repeatedly in this country. We are at a
place in this country where the American taxpayer will actually fund,
(34:24):
at least in part, some of the research and development
for the pharmaceutical company, for the pharmaceutical company to then
turn around and sell drugs cheaper overseas than in the
country where you and I fund the research. Now, this
was not just an anti pharmaceutical company screed. This was
(34:47):
a heads up for everybody left right, center, nationalists, protectionists, libertarian, communist,
I don't care who you are. Whatever you favor. Protectionism,
free markets doesn't matter to me. Don't, for a single
solitary second, claim that the industry we currently have is
(35:10):
free market. It is anything but free market. You can
argue with what Trump did in response to it. That's fine.
You're allowed to have your own thoughts. You can love
what he did, you can hate what he did. All
that is completely acceptable. You're allowed to have an opinion
like anyone else is allowed to have an opinion. But
one thing you cannot claim, unless you're a moron or
(35:31):
a liar, is that our current system when it comes
to pharmaceuticals is just kind of the free market. Free
markets are not Congress forcing the American taxpayer to fund
a specific sector of the economy. That's not free markets
at all. That's gangster capitalism, where the governments are picking
(35:54):
winners and losers based on how many political donations Congressman
Jerkwater happened to get from this particular pharmaceutical company, Oh,
one hundred and seven Jewish producer Christians looked it up.
The health sector. You know how much they spent on
lobbying last year seven hundred and fifty million dollars, seven
(36:15):
hundred and fifty million dollars in one year. Why do
they do that? So in roundabout ways and very direct ways.
They have a guaranteed customer base courtesy of the US taxpayer.
And I am aware of the hypocrisy because of Operation
(36:38):
Warp Speed, which was Trump's baby, which was yet another
one of these things where we just pretty much signed
a contract to hand something out to the pharmaceutical companies. Hey,
no more red tape for you guys. We need this,
We need this now. Make a bunch of money, Make
a bunch of money. Yeah, it's bad, It's been bad
(36:59):
for a very long time. Is what happened today going
to be a solution? I don't know. I don't know.
I'm not here to champion or dump on what Trump
did today. I'm really genuinely not because I don't know
how it's going to work out. Nobody really does. But
what I do know is, don't you dare claim what
we had was free market. It wasn't a market. It
was a market, completely controlled, completely controlled. It was anything
(37:23):
but free market. Enough of that garbage. We'll get to
the swamp and a bunch of that other stuff next hour.
But I'm ready to talk about a hero me no quit.
That's not true. It's time to do Medal of Honor
Monday next
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Let's have some.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Fun on a Monday, a fantastic Monday with huge, gigantic
things happening in the country, on the planet. Medal of
Honor Monday, of course, is coming up an hour from now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yes, we'll talk about the Trump China tear thing. We're
gonna address some big pharma stuff. We're gonna dig into
the swamp, the system, whether there you have many many questions,
Epstein files, all kinds of things like that, all that emails, fun,
I upset up on Mother's Day, and so much more
(00:59):
coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Let's first begin with I don't know whether to do
the good, the bad, or the ugly. So you know
what we're going to do first, the maybe what Chris,
It's fine, it'll be fine. Let's address the China thing.
Now here's what Trump said.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
We achieved a total reset with China after productive talks
in Geneva. Both sides now agreed to reduce the tariffs
imposed after April second to ten percent for ninety days.
As negotiators continue. In the largest structural issues, we're not
looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly.
(01:42):
They were closing up factories, they were having a lot
of unrest, and they were very happy to be able
to do something with us. And the relationship is very
very good.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, let's have a China talk. Isn't that the lamest
thing in the world forum? Well, or policy of foreign country?
You know, I don't. I don't spend a lot of
time on it, but it really really is going to
matter for our conversation about trade, tariff's, deficit, trade deficits,
things like that. First of all, China, China is a
(02:17):
very very big place. You already know that. A lot
of people. You already know that. And it is run
by the Communist Party of China, the CCP. You know
all that, okay, And jijiin Ping is the head of it.
Now for most people, most people they think about Communist
(02:38):
China was Jijin Ping, and they think it's kind of
a maw, total dictator control of the country's situation. And
that's kind of true, but kind of not true. Let
me explain. Yes, Jijinping is all powerful, well, very powerful there.
(03:02):
Jijinping has taken many steps over the years as he's
risen through the ranks of the Communist Party to make
sure his leadership is cemented in to eliminate his competition. However,
there is something boiling, a couple things boiling and bubbling
underneath the surface. And I know you may not care
(03:24):
about China, so you're just gonna have to hang with
me for a second, because it's very much going to
apply to this trade war teariff thing with us. Here's
a couple of the things bubbling beneath the surface. Jijinping
is discovering what virtually every single horrible dictator in the
history of mankind has discovered. Stalin discovered it, Mao discovered it,
(03:47):
all of them, kings in the past have discovered it.
No matter how much power you acquire in your country,
no matter how much wealth, no matter how big your
armies are, no matter what if you have a lot
of power, you are going to have people inside of
your country, other powerful people inside of your country. They're
(04:12):
going to be after it. They are going to be
threatening you at all times. You know, at some point
in time, and I'm not making a promise on a
date yet, we're going to dig into an Alexander the
Great History, as I promised you I would, and I've
already begun in case you're wondering for the research and
all that other stuff on it. One of the things
that has hit me so hard about the Alexander the
(04:32):
Great stuff is, Okay, you have Alexander the Great. This
They knew right away that we have some kind of
prodigy here for a military commander. And right after he
took power, his dad dies. He takes power, he takes
this incredible army his father had built, and he goes
and he has to crush a bunch of rebellions inside
of Greece. People inside of Greece were all, hey, let's
(04:55):
rebell now. Alexander the Great just went and stalked all
of them into the ground. Not only do you have
this prodigy, he's a proven prodigy with the greatest army
on the planet, and he takes that army overseas and
he's going fight the Persians. You got all that, Alexander
the Great had to dedicate unbelievable amounts of time to
(05:17):
stopping a rebellion back home in a coup. I don't
even want to say rebellion. A coup back home, Powerful
politicians generals, royal family, if we have to use those terms.
We're talking about a military commander with the greatest army
in the world at his fingertips, who's already proven he
knows how to use it. Even that guy is having
(05:39):
to sit and fight wall Is that guy gonna knife
be in the back? Am I going to be? All
dictators discover there are limits. There's no such thing as
all powerful. The more powerful they get, frankly, the more
paranoid they get. So what has Jijinping been doing? Well,
he's a communist, so you know exactly what he's been doing,
killing his rivals. Now we're not supposed to say that,
(06:02):
you're supposed to say disappearing them. But there's a fascinating video.
I can't pronounce the guy's name, so I can't even
point you to the video, but you're welcome to go
look it up and find it. You'll find it pretty easily.
And this was recently a last year or two, an
old Chinese man. They were having a big meeting, we'll
call it their congress. They were having a big meeting,
(06:23):
and this old Chinese man, a very very powerful communist,
had lost a critical bit of power. They went up
to him in front of everybody, and they escorted him
from the room. Gone, and you can tell by the
look on his face he knows, yeah, I'm dead. That's it.
(06:44):
Generals will just disappear. You don't do that when you
are one hundred percent secure in your power. You do
that when you are insecure. That's what led Stalin to
killing all those politicians in generals. When he's started doing it,
he was insecure, who's going to have a coup, Who's
going to take me out? Jijinping is not secure in
(07:06):
his power. Now, I just laid all that out, But
there's a second thing bubbling underneath the surface, more than
just generals or other Communist Party members, the people of China.
It can be common when you're not in China and
I'm not and you aren't. I'm never allowed to go.
The state of the Communist Party there hates me, so
I'll probably be imprisoned if I go. So I'm never
allowed to go. But China, it's easy to think of
(07:30):
those billion Chinese people as little slaves who work for nothing,
and they are forced to do what they do, and
they don't really have any hopes or dreams or thoughts
it's just a sea of Chinese slaves in a sweatshop somewhere.
Now that is not totally true. Oh yeah, they're in sweatshops. Yes,
(07:54):
they work them seven days a week over there because
they believe keeping people busy will keep the read of
rebellion down. But those people in China, they need things too,
and they want things too. They want pay, they want
a television, air conditioning, they want to be able to
(08:16):
afford to take the family out to Red Robster or
something like that on a Friday night. That's what they want.
So Jijinping has a problem, and we this is about us,
after all, We in turn have a problem. And the
problem is this. Jijinping has built his economy and therefore
(08:42):
he has built his political power on the fact that
Chinese people make vast well i'll say everything. I know
that's not true, but he's built it on the fact
that Chinese people make everything and sell it to the world.
That's how their entire economy has been built has been built.
They have built their economy to run a trade surplus
(09:04):
where they will make the goods in China. The workers
will stay busy making the goods in China, and then
China will in turn sell the goods to the planet. Now,
this is not a one city thing or one little
sector thing. That is the Chinese economy. The Chinese economy,
(09:26):
in fact, let's be honest, the Chinese system of government
is built on Chinese people in mass quantities making the
things the world will purchase and use. Now back to
the trade talk again, I'll play it for you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We achieved a total reset with China after productive talks
in Geneva. Both sides now agree to reduce the tariffs
imposed after April second to ten percent for ninety days
as negotiators can continue in the largest structural issues.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We're not looking to hurt China.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
China was being hurt very badly and they were closing
up factories, they were having a lot of unrest, and they
were very happy to be able to do something with us.
And the relationship is very very good.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So was it a total reset? Where are we on this?
Are we Scott free? Let's talk about that now that
we got a little over the background and where we are.
Before we talk about that, Let's take care of widows
and orphans. You know about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation,
You know that they take care of gold Star families,
(10:38):
the ones we all forget about. Navy seal dies in
the Red Sea Tunnel to Towers is there paying off
the mortgage for his family, making sure his family's taken
care of. You lose your legs in Iraq. Tunnel to
Towers is there to build a smart home so you
don't need somebody for everything. They have a homeless veteran.
(11:01):
They have educational never Forget programs. They go across to
America teaching kids about nine to eleven, runs, walks, climbs.
This organization is out there caring for widows and orphans
and making sure we all remember our heroes. Isn't that
worth eleven dollars a month? Eleven bucks a month is
(11:22):
all they've ever asked for. T twot dot org is
where you go to sign up t the number two
T dot org. We'll be back, miss does catch up.
Jesse kellyshow dot com. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
(11:44):
on a Monday, A fantastic Monday. Medal of Honor Monday
coming up forty five minutes. So now I'm gonna talk
about the big pharm of stuff. Don't think that is
going to escape me, But talk about the swamp the system.
I have a ton to get to there because of
the the Epstein stuff and other things going on. But
we are right now focusing on the US China thing,
(12:04):
and this thing is a bit of a coin flip.
I'm not going to recap the Chinese political economic situation.
I just did in the opening. But Jijinping needs needs
his people employed, or what he's going to have is
a billion Chinese people angry, and he potentially gets taken
(12:25):
out and shot one day, because that's how it ends
in communist countries. He knows those are the stakes of
the game. So he's got a problem. What happened We
started slapping tariffs on China, big fat tariffs on China. China,
as Trump laid out, immediately began having unrest problems. When
(12:50):
we say the Chinese economy demands, it's built on providing
everything for the world, those people have to work, work
in those factories or they don't get to eat. And
if they don't get to eat, they riot. Rioting. Protest
was already beginning. So what happened. We we agreed to
(13:15):
stop fighting temporarily. I want to stress that point, temporarily
for ninety days. We agreed we were going to take
off our tariffs, and China agreed they're going to take
off their retalitary tariffs, and we're going to work something out.
But something Trump said here is not really accurate. I
(13:36):
get why he said it, but it's not accurate at
all to be a.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We achieved a total reset with China.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No we didn't, No, we didn't. We paused our trade
argument for ninety days. But ninety days from now, the
same structural problems exist, and nothing is going to happen
between now and then that is going to change. That
(14:04):
meaning nothing is going to change the fact that China
has to have a billion slave laborers in the factories
seven days a week. Horjjin ping risks getting shot. To
put it bluntly, that's the stakes of the game we're in.
So I only brought this up to say this. I
(14:24):
am glad the market did well today. I am glad
Trump is doing things like dressing fentanyl and things like
that from China, and he is Remember they didn't take
off all of the tariff stuff. They are angry the
Trump administration. I mean they're angry, and they are focused
(14:45):
on the fact that China sends its fentanyl here, they
produce the fentanyl, they send it here. So we're addressing that.
But is everything going to go away or all these
problems going to work out? Well? Maybe, maybe not. Don't
(15:05):
don't think that today the whole China argument, the China debate, tariff.
Don't think for a second that today that ended at all.
It didn't. We got a ninety day reprieve and then
we'll see where we go from there. All right, Now,
let's move off of a maybe and let's talk about
something that I absolutely adore, I always have, I always will.
(15:31):
I love when an American president of any party fights
for American citizens. And Donald Trump maybe my favorite thing
about Donald Trump is that Donald Trump, the first time
he was president and now in his first hundred days
the second time he's president, he does not sit idly
(15:54):
by hoping. He makes it a priority when an American
citizen is held a broad by a foreign government, by
a terrorist organization, he will go get you and he
will bring you home. He announced, Well here what it ends.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The only American citizen is captured and held hostage by
HUMAS since October seventh, twenty twenty three, and he's coming.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Home to his parents, which is really great news meant
to me. It's bigness. They thought he was dead.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So that's it. You, an American citizen, any citizen of
any nation, really, but you, an American citizen, have every
right to expect and demand your president, no matter what
his party is, if you get yourself in trouble abroad,
(16:50):
that the American President will fight for you, go get
you and bring you home. In fact, I'll take it
a step further. You have every right to expect as
an American citizen if you are held abroad that potentially
military people will risk their lives to bring you home.
(17:11):
And if you ask the guys in the military who
do that sort of thing, they'll do it gladly. They
tell you that you have every right to expect that.
That's part of being a citizen. Being a citizen and
a servant or a subject are different things, because a
subject under a king, the obligations only go one way.
(17:36):
You owe him. You owe him. You are not a subject.
You are a citizen. Yes, you have to follow the law. Sorry,
you have to pay your taxes. I'm even sorry you're
about that. Yes, you have obligations to live in this society.
But obligations go both ways. And when you are held
overseas by anybody, whether it's Russia, China, North Korea, or Hamas,
(17:59):
you have every right to expect well better than this.
How many of them approximately you?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
So we don't know the exact number, but how many
legal permanent residents are we convinced they're still in Afghanistan.
We don't have an exact number, but it's but around
number thousands. Pardon in the thousands, in the thousands.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That was Anthony Blincoln. You have a right to expect better,
to demand better, and that Trump goes and gets our
people from Russia, from Hamas, from anywhere. I love that
about him. I do, and I salute you, mister President,
and I thank you for it. Now let's address India
and Pakistan. Try to curry favor with some people before
(18:39):
we do that. Let's talk about rough greens. Let's talk
about keeping your dog healthy in alive. We love our dogs,
don't we. I get emails all the time, Hey, hug
Fred for me. Believe me. Fred gets plenty of hugs, Okay,
and still somehow finds a way to demand more, but
plenty of hugs. And he is just part of our family,
(19:01):
like your dog is or your cat is part of
your family. So look, we care about what we feed
our kids, why don't we just give our dogs dog food.
Dogfood is dead, it's empty calories. It's a double cheeseburger
from a fast food joint. It's delicious, but it's got
no nutrition in it. Sprinkle Roughgreens on your dog's food
(19:23):
or your cat's food. They have milgreens, natural nutritional supplement
will keep that part of your family alive longer. Free
jumpstart trio bags at eight three three three three my
doog or Roughgreens dot com, slash Jesse. We'll be back
the Jesse Kelly Show. It's still real to me, Dammit
(19:45):
the rnstacks. It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a
wonderful Monday. Remember you can email the show Jesse at
Jesse kellyshow dot com. And I have something for everybody
with taste before we get to the other thing. Look,
you can tell a lot about people by what they
(20:07):
like and what they dislike, all right, and everyone knows
that highly intelligent people who have good taste, they want
to watch me do the show, not just listen what Chris.
They don't just want to listen. They want to enjoy
looking at me. What a blessing that is to be
able to look at me, if you would like to know.
In all seriousness, we used to simulcast the show on
(20:30):
the first TV, and as soon as that went away,
everybody started emailing in Superman, I can't find the show.
I can't find the show. Well, we were working on something.
We was behind the scenes stuff. Anyway, behind the scenes.
When I say we, I want to stress that I
wasn't involved at all. Chris and Corey were actually handling everything.
I didn't get involved or really know that this was happening,
(20:51):
but it did happen. And you can watch the show
at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. Right, Chris, Ye, that's right.
I knew I nailed it. Jesse Kellyshow dot com. And
there's what, Chris, a button that says video. Is it
a button they click on it? Where's the button? Is
it in like the middle or the upper left or
upper right? But it's near the top, so it's not
(21:15):
at the top. Chris says, it's near the top. If
you go to Jesse Kellyshow dot com and click on
the video button, you will be well, it'll be quite
a treat. You'll get to watch me do the radio show,
and that's exciting, that's exciting. I'm happy for you. This
is more of a gift to you than anything else. Hey, Chris,
(21:36):
hey to even ask, but is it free? Do they
get charged for? It? Is free? I'm surprised at you
that you didn't throw some sort of a what a
money making venture of some kind in there. I thought
I thought you would do something anyway, It's free, Jesse
kellyshow dot com. Click on the video link near the top.
As Jewish producer Chris says, what Chris, I told you
(21:56):
I would announce it in there. I announced it. So
Trump made an announcement today India and Pakistan, and you
don't look. I've done more foreign policy in the last
twenty minutes than I really care to in any given show.
So I'm not going to spend any time on this
at all. Just remember, those two countries hate each other,
and they always have. Really, the reason they are exist
(22:18):
as separate countries is because they freaking hate each other.
And if you ever if that part of the world
fascinates you, it doesn't really me, But if it fascinates
you at all, go look into the creation of Pakistan
and the disaster that was that separation. Look, there is
a war that I don't want to say genocide because
(22:40):
that word is so overused. Is it overused in that case?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Chris?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Do you think it was a genocide? But it's a
lot of death, I'll put it that way, a lot
of death and horrible things as those two places divide. Anyway,
they hate each other, They've always hated each other, and
they're both nuclear powers, which is generally not good. You know,
last week they got in some huge kerfuffle. What a
great word. I had bk on last week to discuss
(23:06):
a lot of the background of it and everything. Anyway,
they started killing each other again, and you could easily
see that situation because of the historical hatred. You could
see that situation getting a little spicy pretty fast when
it's two nuclear parties. Trump made this announcement again. It
just does foreign policy very well.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
On Saturday, my administration helped broker a full and immediate ceasefire,
I think a permanent one between India and Pakistan, ending
a dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons,
and they were going at it hot and heavy and
it was seemingly not going to stop.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
We helped a lot. And we helped also with trade.
I said, come on, we're going to do a lot
of trade with you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
If you stop it, we'll do a trade. If you
don't stop it, we're not going to do any trade.
People have never really used trade the way I used it,
that I can tell you. And all of a sudden
they said, I think we're going to stop, and they have,
and we shopped the nuclear conflict.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I think it would it could have been a bad
nuclear war.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
This is why Donald Trump is good at foreign policy.
There are two reasons. There are two reasons that Donald
Trump is very good at foreign policy and very good
at these things. The first reason is love of country.
And that may sound like a stupid, hokey radio point,
but just stay with me on this. If I am
(24:34):
let's say, let's say we are negotiating with NBC News
to get the Jesse Kelly Show on NBC. Hey, believe me,
we are very much not and they would not be
interested at all. But let's say we were. Did Jesse
Kelly Show on NBC now in order to negotiate this deal.
(24:56):
Should I like the Jesse Kelly show. That would probably help, Right,
it would probably help. Should I appreciate you the listener,
care about you the listener? Should that matter to me,
the show, the show family? Should it matter? Well, of
course it should matter. When you're walking into a trade negotiation,
you better like the side you're negotiating for. Otherwise the
(25:17):
side you're negotiating for is gonna get screwed. Why do
Democrats constantly get screwed in foreign policy? Well, they instinctively
hate us worse than they hate whoever were negotiating with.
That's why every single time they walk in that room. Well,
you're right, we do kind of suck. Anyway, you should
screw us over because we suck. That's how they approach it. Trump,
(25:37):
for any problem you may have with him, has always
talked lovingly about America years and years and years, long
before he was politically involved. He genuinely loves the place.
So when he walks into one of these meetings, he's
walking in on our behalf. And I appreciate that, especially
when you contrast. It is a contrast or contrast, Chris,
(26:00):
I think you could use both. I went to community
college and we used both there anyway, especially when you
contrast that with the Democrat negotiating negotiating way of yeah,
America does suck. Hey, let's sign this deal. Screw what's bad.
So that's one reason. The second reason he's very good
at these things is this business background. Sometimes that business
(26:23):
background can serve you poorly, I should know. But when
it comes to foreign policy deals, it helps when you've
spent your entire eighty years on the planet bouncing around
the globe negotiating deals, and he approaches foreign policy affairs
like it's a real estate deal somewhere. Listen again, if
(26:44):
this is two countries who hate each other, nuclear powers,
who are currently beating each other to death, and this
is how you broke Saturday.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
My administration helped brokery full and immediate ceasefire, I think,
a permanent one between India and Pakistan and being a
dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons
and they were going at it hot and heavy and
it was seemingly not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We helped a lot.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
And we helped also with trade. I said, come on,
we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Let's stop it.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Let's stop it. If you stop it, we'll do a trade.
If you don't stop it, we're not going to do
any trade.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
How great is that Trump approaches the whole thing of Hey,
let's do a deal. What are we fighting for? Us?
Don't need a fighter. You want to do a deal? Hey,
pre come over here, Mohammed, you too. Look you guys
want Do you want some falafel? Or do you not
want some? We'll throw an extra falafel. Pre what what, Chris?
I'm talking about the deal? Hey, come on, you want
(27:46):
something to do. Come on, let's come to the table
and let's negotiate. You can laugh and it is kind
of funny, but it works. Let's how you get people
to the table. You want do you want this? Do
you want that? We're going to come help you out
with it. And I appreciate it. Now, before we get
to the swamp stuff in the Medal of Honor stuff,
(28:07):
we have to do a little big pharma talk because
Trump made a huge announcement today about big pharma, and
this big pharma thing has everybody across the political spectrum
arguing today. The right is arguing with the right, the
(28:27):
right is arguing with the left, the left is arguing
with the left. The left is arguing with the right.
Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing?
What is what is the deal? But you have a
bunch of emails and we're going to talk about those before.
Before we do that, I want I want to get
you ready because this is going to be a lot
to talk about. In order to handle that, maybe lay
(28:51):
off the pharmaceuticals and stick with natural herbal supplements. Huh,
this is a priority in my life life. I have
tried avs all on board. Obviously, she'd probably have led
the charge on this. If I'm being honest with finding

Questions for Friday. The whole works are welcome Jesse at
(30:17):
Jesse kellyshow dot com. Now, before I play you what
Trump said today about his executive order, his big pharma
executive order, I'm going to read you just a couple emails, Jesse.
COVID is my number one because it was the most pervasive,
invasive and detrimental, relatively speaking, the mass scientific experimentation on
(30:40):
the human race to test a proven to be ineffective
medical technology for free, in fact, be paid for it,
because not enough people wanted to engage in experimental trials.
Can we all Right? So there's a lot of big
pharma talk, this guy, said Jesse. Oftentimes I'll be sitting
in the doctor's office and way room and a dime
(31:01):
will stroll in. One hundred percent of the time that's
a pharmaceutical rep waiting to get called back to push
their latest drug on the doctor. Trump made a big
executive order, big announcement here.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Was so for the first time in many years, we'll
slash the costs of prescription drugs, and we will bring
fairness to America. Drug prices will come down. But starting today,
the United States will no longer subsidize the healthcare of
foreign countries and will no longer tolerate profiteering and price
gouging from big pharma. But it's called most Favored nation.
We are going to pay the lowest price there is
(31:38):
in the world. We will get whoever is paying the
lowest price. That's the price that we're going to get.
I am doing this for the American people. I'm doing
this against the most powerful lobby in the world, probably
the drug lobby, drug and pharmaceutical lobby. But it's one
of the most important orders I think that's ever been signed,
certainly with regard to healthcare or health Well, he said this,
(32:01):
but I do want to say that Democrats could have
done this a long time ago. They have fought like
hell for the drug companies, and they knew they were doing.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The wrong thing. He hilariously said this.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
who's a business man, very very very top guy. Most
of you would have heard of him, highly neurotic, seriously overweight,
and he takes the fat the fat shot drug and
he called me up and.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
A fat shot drug. All right, I didn't. Finally, I'll
let them wrap up with this and then I'll give
you my thoughts.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
I think you're going to see a tremendous cut.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I mean, I know you're going to see.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
It in Medicaid and Medicare, and that cut will be
messive because drugs are fifty sixty percent of the cost.
So Medicaid costs the going down, and Medicare costs them
going down because of what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Okay, now, as I said, everyone arguing about this today,
because if you are, as I am, a free market person,
believe markets should be free. Then when you hear the
American President saying, hey, no, no, no, no, you're only
going to be allowed to charge this. You can't charge that,
(33:18):
you're not going to do, maybe that makes you sit
up in your chair and say, wait a minute, what's
this garbage? And look, maybe not. Maybe you're sitting there
and you're just nodding your head saying, yeah, we're being
ripped off. Screw these guys. But my only talk about
this is going to be this. The largest, comfortably the
(33:41):
largest lobbying arm in the United States of America is
the pharmaceutical industry. They give gigantic quantities quantities of wealth
to politicians so politicians can keep getting re elected in
return for these huge quantities of health the politicians have
(34:02):
put into place over years years, Republicans and Democrats have
done this, carve out after carve out after carve out,
handout after handout after handout to the pharmaceutical companies. This
has happened repeatedly in this country. We are at a
place in this country where the American taxpayer will actually fund,
(34:24):
at least in part, some of the research and development
for the pharmaceutical company, for the pharmaceutical company to then
turn around and sell drugs cheaper overseas than in the
country where you and I fund the research. Now, this
was not just an anti pharmaceutical company screed. This was
(34:47):
a heads up for everybody left right, center, nationalists, protectionists, libertarian, communist,
I don't care who you are. Whatever you favor. Protectionism,
free markets doesn't matter to me. Don't, for a single
solitary second, claim that the industry we currently have is
(35:10):
free market. It is anything but free market. You can
argue with what Trump did in response to it. That's fine.
You're allowed to have your own thoughts. You can love
what he did, you can hate what he did. All
that is completely acceptable. You're allowed to have an opinion
like anyone else is allowed to have an opinion. But
one thing you cannot claim, unless you're a moron or
(35:31):
a liar, is that our current system when it comes
to pharmaceuticals is just kind of the free market. Free
markets are not Congress forcing the American taxpayer to fund
a specific sector of the economy. That's not free markets
at all. That's gangster capitalism, where the governments are picking
(35:54):
winners and losers based on how many political donations Congressman
Jerkwater happened to get from this particular pharmaceutical company, Oh,
one hundred and seven Jewish producer Christians looked it up.
The health sector. You know how much they spent on
lobbying last year seven hundred and fifty million dollars, seven
(36:15):
hundred and fifty million dollars in one year. Why do
they do that? So in roundabout ways and very direct ways.
They have a guaranteed customer base courtesy of the US taxpayer.
And I am aware of the hypocrisy because of Operation
(36:38):
Warp Speed, which was Trump's baby, which was yet another
one of these things where we just pretty much signed
a contract to hand something out to the pharmaceutical companies. Hey,
no more red tape for you guys. We need this,
We need this now. Make a bunch of money, Make
a bunch of money. Yeah, it's bad, It's been bad
(36:59):
for a very long time. Is what happened today going
to be a solution? I don't know. I don't know.
I'm not here to champion or dump on what Trump
did today. I'm really genuinely not because I don't know
how it's going to work out. Nobody really does. But
what I do know is, don't you dare claim what
we had was free market. It wasn't a market. It
was a market, completely controlled, completely controlled. It was anything
(37:23):
but free market. Enough of that garbage. We'll get to
the swamp and a bunch of that other stuff next hour.
But I'm ready to talk about a hero me no quit.
That's not true. It's time to do Medal of Honor
Monday next
