This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Let's have some fun.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
On a Friday. Of course, it's a glorious Friday. We
are cruising into a Memorial Day weekend. Put a smile
on your face. We are going to be all over
the map tonight because it's asked Doctor Jesse Friday. We're
gonna talk about big city urban democrats and voting that way,
(00:47):
and why someone wants to talk about the why someone's
moving from San Diego wants to know where to go, tariff,
somebody has a bad feeling about the coming trade war,
Communism versus shir Re Law. All that and so much
more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
And a reminder again, yes, Chris, I will remind them again.
(01:11):
The names are already flooding in. But on Monday we.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Will be here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We will be live here and if you miss it,
you can download a podcast of it. Of course, but
we will do a Memorial Day special on Monday, not
our normal show. We won't be goofing off, we won't
be doing politics. It will be all honoring the fallen.
It's gonna be a bunch of history history, wars, battles,
honoring the fallen. And if you have a name of
(01:39):
somebody who died in service to this country, name rank, conflict,
you can email it in Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
They're already piling up. We will try try to read
every single name so we can honor those who gave
it all for this country. And one more word on
this before we get into the questions. I told you
(02:02):
yesterday that Memorial Day is only for the fallen.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I warned you about watering it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Down and all the veterans and firefighters.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I know you're doing it out of politeness. The people
who gave their lives for this country and their families
left behind deserve an unwatered down day, their own sacred day. However,
enjoy yourself this weekend. I will tell you this. I
know people who died for this country. Every single guy
(02:40):
I know who died for this country. I promise you
would want you to enjoy yourself this weekend. They wouldn't
want you sitting around. Don't listen to anybody tell you
what it's not about. Hot dogs and family time.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Have hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Have family time, enjoy yourself, enjoy your long weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All right, all right now, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You often correctly say you voted for this after the
population of blue cities keep electing or re electing Democrats
scumbag leadership. However, you never really dive into why. The
fact of the matter is there's a significant portion of
the voting population that could.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Care less, so on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, why why do big city Democrats continue to go
re elect the worst scumbags in the world who destroy
your cities? First, let's cover this. Big city Democrats really
(03:47):
Democrats in general. But people vote generally for the same
party every time. Most voters vote for the same party
every time. And I'm not just pointing fingers at the
other side. If I walk into a voting booth and
I don't know who to vote for or whatever, I
vote for the Republican. But even if I do know
(04:07):
who to vote for, I vote for the Republican every time.
So and oftentimes oftentimes it's generational. You vote for the
party your family always voted for. Well, my parents always
voted for Republicans, so I vote my parents. So there's
that that is extremely strong. Why do you think it
(04:28):
is that there are so many Democrats, especially older Democrats,
who are probably more moderate blue dog types, even Southern
Democrat types, you know, pro life, but you like unions
or something like that. Yet they won't vote for Republicans. Well,
they've been voting Democrats for their entire lives. It's hard
to break that chain when that's what you've always done.
(04:51):
You may complain about Democrats, you may not like the
direction Democrats are going, but you still vote for Democrats.
So that's part of it. Another huge part of it
is this not that many people actually vote in the elections,
especially local elections, and in a big city we'll call
(05:12):
it Philadelphia, because I was trashing the Philadelphia voter for
re electing Krasner, that piece of crap Soros DA who
keeps letting all the murderers out of prison. I was
ranting and raving about it. But the truth is, in
local elections, not many people show up, but who does
(05:32):
who does show up the most committed, the most committed
Democrat in a big city. Because if you're a Republican
in a big city, and I know there are many
listening to my voice right now in New York and
San Diego and Seattle, in Miami and everywhere big city Republicans,
(05:53):
they know they're not going to win. And look, I'll
be honest with you. If I if I lived in Washington,
d C. Still, even though I lived in Northern Virginia,
but we'll call it DC when I lived there for
a year, I don't know how often I would vote.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Isn't that terrible?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I mean, I think I'd probably make myself vote just
because I feel obligated to do it, and I would
want to do it in front of my kids. But
a city that's ninety four percent ninety two percent Democrat
or something like that, why even waste the gas to
drive down to the polls. You're not winning anything. So
what happens is Republicans in these big cities don't.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Bother to show up.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And it's completely understandable, and most Democrats don't bother to
show up. But who does show up the most committed
communists in the city. You don't have to rally that
many votes, whether it's a big city or a small town.
If it is a local election, it is winnable depending
(06:52):
on the circumstances. In fact, I want to read you
this email. Got this email a few days ago. I
want to read this to you, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'm going to leave out the location because I don't
know that he wants that red.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Jesse.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I won my primary for it's a city council or
it's because you berated us to get.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Involved small town. He says.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You know what the turnout was for Republican voters? Thirty percent?
He writes it right here in the email. He said,
that makes it easy for us to win because all
you have to do is knock on doors for less
time than watching.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A football game.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The people who vote are the people who care, and
if you care enough to knock on doors and introduce
yourself as a candidate, you win. So I went from
being an anti communist on the water board to the
town council asked me not to name his name, and
I of course will not. Now that's the example in
the other direction.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
When we think if we're in.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A small area, small town, we think to ourselves, Wow,
city council, you know, county board of supervisors, any of
these things. We think these things are unattainable. Guy who's
on there, he's been there for twenty years. Yeah, he
hasn't had the campaign for like fifteen years because nobody
shows up to vote. You can go take back these
positions of power, and you should. But vice versa. In
(08:12):
the big cities, they don't change how they vote. They'll
complain and they'll yell and they're uh. You know, New
York City, they'll elect Bill de Blasio and then they
hate his guts.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I hate him.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
He sucks. I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
The cops hate him. I hate him. I hate him.
I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
He's up for reelection, right back into office again. Human
beings have a hard time changing their bad habits. We
all do, I do. But big city democrats they really
truly vote for their own demise. And then of course
you have the ghetto areas of the big city, and
(08:51):
they're always always enlisted like an army. Oftentimes they cheat
by the way, using these areas. If you go in
Harlem in New York City would be a wonderful example
of this, even though they're it's getting better, But either way,
Harlem would be a wonderful example of this. The black
population of Harlem. The Democrats just prey on these people
(09:12):
because they don't really give a crap that much about politics.
In large part they don't care about politics, and so
Democrats they'll ballot harvest all the time. Hey, everybody, bring
me your ballot. And those people don't give a crap
if you're in a really poor part of town. Oftentimes
those people don't care about politics, got bigger fish to fry,
trying to avoid getting shot and everything else, so they
(09:32):
just don't care about politics. It's a real self licking
ice cream cone these big cities. Democrat politics snowballing the
more Democrat politics, which snowball into more Democrat politics, and
it's never ending. And then what else happens, is anybody
read anybody sane? They move out. They're gone. There's not
(09:56):
Republicans in Manhattan, not many of them. They get along
Island gone. If you have to work in the city,
you're gone. You pack it up and you leave. And
the same thing happens in La same thing happens in
San Diego. You're not going to stay in the city
center with all that blue filth. You're gonna find the
reddest suburb you can find that's still a decent commute
to work, and you're gone, so you don't even get
(10:17):
to vote in it. It's a it's a big old
fat mess. Now, let's talk about moving. Let's talk about tariffs,
the coming trade war. Let me talk to you about history.
You enjoy that when I do that, don't you? Well,
Hillsdale will teach you about history, and just like me,
(10:40):
they don't charge for it. How cool is that? I've
always I have always admired that about Hillsdale College. And
last time I met with them, I told them that
that was before they were even partners with the show.
I told them I love that They've been handing out
knowledge for free.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
For as long as I've been.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Involved in politics, Hillsdale has been sending out mailers doing
things for free. They want this critical wisdom in people's homes,
so they don't charge for it. They're offering more than
forty free online courses long weekend, maybe knock out one class,
something productive. Do you think your children would benefit from
(11:20):
understanding capitalism?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's one of their free courses.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Go to Hillsdale dot edu slash jesse. That's how you
get it at no cost. Hillsdale dot edu slash jesse.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Feeling a little stocky, Follow like and subscribe on social
at jesse kellydc.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic
Friday and ask doctor Jesse Friday, And of course we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dig into well, if someone has concerns about the tariff
wars stuff, we'll get into that in the moment. This
guy says, Hey, Jesse, I'm close to moving out of
California and I'm to go full deep red in my
next home. There's plenty of states that have the Republican trifecta,
but I wanted to see if there's a good way
to check and see if the government is actually holding
true or just phoning it in. This guy is well,
(12:15):
I will say he's from San Diego. So let me
warn you right off the bat, buddy, because I have
buddies who have moved from San Diego.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
There is something.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm sure you appreciate, but maybe not enough that you're
going to have to give up. I understand San Diego
has really, really, really fallen off since the dirty comedies
have filled it up with crime and homelessness. I get
that the gas Lamp District, all that wonderful stuff San
Diego is just isn't what it was when I used
to enjoy it. But it's still perfect weather all twelve
(12:55):
months of the year, and that doesn't exist anywhere else
in the United States of America except for southern California.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
It just does not.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So you really, really really need to prepare yourself for
summers where you sweat a lot, for winters where you
freeze for You're going to move and you're going to
discover this wild concept of four seasons, and not all
of them are pleasant. So I'm just warning you that
(13:27):
right off the bat, as far as states go.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
What's a good way. I'll tell you what's an.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Underrated state right now that is starting to elect some seriously,
seriously far right people.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Everybody knows about Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Everyone knows about Florida and Rohnda Santis and the amazing
job he's done there. So I'm not gonna tell you Florida.
Missouri nobo he thinks about Missouri. Missouri has some crazy
beautiful spots to it. Missouri is going hard hard right.
Missouri is worth a look. Arkansas's worth the look, of course, Texas.
(14:02):
Oklahoma's amazing. Oklahoma doesn't get near enough credit. Oklahoma's a
sweet place. Nebraska now, moving from San Diego to Nebraska,
maybe a little bit of a environmental shock. It is
a touch flat, I will say, But Nebraska has it
together as far as governments go. If that's what you're
asking me, though, you want to move to a red
(14:24):
state that has you know, read this, read this, read
up and down. There is not a red state that
doesn't need more help, more maintenance. Red state that look
Texas in particular. But I don't even mean to sing
about my own state, Texas, our state legislature, our Republicans
(14:46):
are embarrassing here, embarrassing they're half Democrats here. Honestly, Wyoming.
Everyone knows my love for the Rocky Mountains and Wyoming
and Antelo Punt and all that stuff. I've been up
there a million times. That's really where I grew up
in Montana, right up there by it. Wyoming is embarrassing
with its Republicans. It sends they're all Republicans.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's not a registered Democrat in the state, I don't think.
But the Republicans they send, they're half Democrats. They put
in R by their name. What's the perfect trifecta? What's
a good way to check? Let me go ahead and
spoil it for you. There ain't a good one. Every
single one of them need help. Every single red state
(15:29):
needs help. I probably should have mentioned this though, the Carolinas.
I've brought this up before. If you've never spent any
time in the Carolinas, I would recommend it. I love
the Carolinas. Did you just sneer at the Carolinas? Chris?
What is your problem North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
What's wrong?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What's wrong with South Carolina? Oh you don't like North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
North Carolina's amazing, amazing one. I know there's a lot
of Democrats. It's very much a purple state. I get that.
But it's trending right, it's trending right. They need more
Republicans there. Honestly, probably outside of Southern California, North Carolina
may have the best weather in the country. The food
(16:20):
is fantastic. There's beach if you're a beach guy, There's hills,
there's North Carolina should be looked at. Don't discount North Carolina. Hey, Jesse,
Happy Friday. Not to be overly pessimistic here, but I
just have a really bad feeling about the tariff war.
At this point, I was hopeful until recently. It seems
President g has won this round and by that he's
(16:42):
won for the long ride. I know his days are numbered.
China isn't doing well, so on and so forth. Will
the end of the ninety days be Donald Trump's Will
the end of ninety days be Donald Trump's second chance?
Or is that window permanently closed? Okay, So just to
recap what he's talking about here, we are in a
(17:05):
trade war with China. It's just nobody's firing shots yet.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Meaning Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Wants a reset on how global trade works, on where
things are made. We'll focus on that part of it,
where things are made. I get that, and I agree.
I want to make things here in America. I want
blue collar jobs here in America, manufacturing jobs here in America.
So that's what Trump wants. But here's the problem with that.
(17:39):
Have you ever been super out of shape and started
working out? Hurts, doesn't it? Chris is saying, Yes, that's right, Chris.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
It hurts. It hurts. Your joints hurt, your muscle's hurt.
It hurts.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's because your body has gotten used to not doing it,
and now trying to make changes is going to be painful.
You're going to win. Skittting on and off the toilet economically,
the world, the entire world has gotten used to making
(18:15):
things in China, businesses, manufacturing factories. The world has gotten
used to it. China's gotten used to it, America's gotten
used to it. France has gotten used to it. That's
where we're at. I'm going to get it. I'm running
up against the break here. I'm going to get into
more depth in this in just a moment. Before I
do that, I know those joints hurt, whether you're working
out or not, and that's because you're not taking your
(18:35):
relief factor. You do not have to win skinning out
of bed every morning. You don't have to rub your
hands or your elbow or your back. You don't have
to do that thing with your neck where you're trying
to turn your head because it hurts. Why don't you
let relief factor help your body fight that inflammation. Relief
(18:56):
Factor is drug free, one hundred percent drug free. It
is a supplement, and I swear the stuff is freaking miraculous.
I don't even know what they put in the stuff.
It's miraculous, unique formula, natural ingredients. It'll make your pain
go away, not masket for a day, couple hours, disappear
give you a quality of life back. You don't have
(19:19):
to take my word for it. You can try it
for three weeks nineteen dollars and ninety five cents. Call
one eight hundred the number four Relief one eight hundred
four Relief or go to relief factor dot com.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
We'll be back. You're listening to the ourcle You love
this one.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's a scream baby, the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Friday.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Member.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So this guy has.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A bad feeling about the coming trade war and stuff,
and so we're just well, let's recap.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Where we're at right now.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
The world US, China, every the world over a period
of time, it's been a cup decades, more than a
couple over decades. The world has slowly, because it's a
slow process, slowly but surely started to move its physical
manufacturing to China. They did this for a couple different reasons. One,
(20:23):
China wanted to start making things there, So China started
focusing on that by incentivizing businesses to come there. Hey,
come here, come here, come here. We don't have an EPA.
Who's gonna bother you. We're gonna just start up your
factory here. You can dump sludge into the water for
all we give a crap. Make your things here, make
your things here. So it became financially beneficial while China
(20:45):
was making it financially beneficial. It's not just America, the
other major countries, the other economic powers in the world,
the UK, America, everything else. They started allowing more and
more leftism to creep into their politics. The West in general,
I know, we just want an election. The West in
(21:07):
general has only moved to the left. From a thirty
thousand foot view, if you're looking down on it, they've
only moved left, left, left, left left. Well, the more
you go towards communism, the less business friendly it's going
to be, because the left believes in controlling businesses. You
will do this, will regulate that, you need a permit
for this, we'll tax that. So as Western civilization has
(21:31):
gotten more hostile to business, China has gotten friendlier to business,
and inevitably that has sucked all the business, all the manufacturing,
I should say, into the waiting arms of China. That
brings us where we are now. Donald Trump sees this
as a huge issue, and he's correct. He sees it
as a national security issue, and he's correct about that
(21:54):
as well. So how do we get it back? It's
the ultimate question.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
We get it back.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Trump has believed in tariffs for as long as Donald
Trump has spoken about public policy. This is not something
I've tried to explain this to people. This is not
something Trump came up with yesterday, and you're not going
to talk him out of it. Donald Trump was speaking
about tariffs and protectionism a long time before he even
(22:21):
ran for president or got involved in public office. He
believes in that all the way. He's very much a protectionist.
So now he views tariffs as a way to essentially
force those businesses to come back home, forced them to
come back home. In fact, let me do this, it's
completely unprofessional. Sorry, I'm doing this on the fly.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Here.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
He set out this message this morning.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Quote, this is a public message Donald Trump put out.
I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that
I expect their iPhones will be sold in the United
States of America, will be manufactured and built in the
United States, not India or any place else. If that
is not the case, a tariff of at least twenty
(23:11):
five percent must be paid by Apple to the US.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. Well he
actually said thank your for your attention in this matter.
But I get it, Donald, I do. I misspell things
all the time. It's no big deal. This is what
he believes. If you're not going to bring your business
back here, I'll I'll essentially find you, is what he's saying.
(23:34):
I will, I will find you for not bringing your
business back here. Now, you can love that or you
can hate that. It doesn't matter. But the truth is
that fine, whatever it is, it doesn't change what's happened
over the decades. The manufacturing is there, and the manufacturing
(23:54):
is there well because China wants it there and we
ran them out, and those things haven't really changed. And
you can argue that Donald Trump is deregulating the economy here,
and he is. He's doing a very good jobating deregulating
the economy. He's getting all this ridiculous regulation out of
(24:15):
the way. However, if I let's say I want to
start a big steel factory, that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do steel, Okay, all right, well, Donald Trump
and his policies are good for me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I think I'll start a big steel factory in Ohio
because Donald Trump and his policies are good for me.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Now, let me ask you something. How long is it
going to take me?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I have an empty plot of land to get a
steel manu steel factory up and running. Where that is
a year? Two years, Let's just say a year. You
don't have to be a construction expert. Let's say a year. Okay, good,
Let's say I start now. Good, it is May twenty third.
I'm gonna start right now. So May twenty third of
(24:58):
twenty twenty six, my steel factories up and running and
churning and burning. How much money have I invested? How
much money? Frankly have I borrowed? To get that steel
factory up and running. I had to get what we'll
wake up A number. I had to get a I
had to get a fifty million dollar loan from the
bank to get that manufacturing up and running. So now
I'm paying off a fifty million dollar mortgage getting my
(25:20):
steel up and running. However, it's May twenty third, twenty
twenty six, a year from now. That's two years away
from an election. If Democrats win that election, they will
immediately put back into place a bunch of policies that
(25:40):
make my steel factory basically defunct. They'll put me out
of business. And then I'm on the hook for a
fifty million dollar mortgage and I can't pay it off
because Democrats hate me. So whatever we do now, you always,
if you're a businessman, you don't have to be involved politics.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
If you're a.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Businessman, you can be completely agnostic about politics. If you're
a businessman, the prospect of Democrats taking power again is
always looming over you, always looming over you. You are
one Democrat election away from getting smashed. And you can
say all day long til you're blue in the face,
(26:22):
they're unpopular. Right now, it looks like we're probably gonna
have a really great candidate, probably gonna be jd Vance
or someone like that. They let's say they have some
idiot like Newsom or someone be there. Oh, there's no
way jd Vance is gonna lose to Newsom.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh, don't give me that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
What happens three months before the election, we found out
jd Vance has been jd Vance has been cheating on
his taxes for five years No, I don't think jad
Vance has done that. But that's the kind of stuff
that happens in politics. Some huge scandal pops up right
before the election. Only it's a legitimate scandal. Boop boop boop.
Gavin Newsom's president. My steel meal gone gone. If we
(27:02):
don't fundamentally change the Democrat Party, we cannot ever truly
bring manufacturing back here in a lasting way.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
We can.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Look, Donald Trump can cut these deals, and I'm glad
he is. We cut a deal and they're gonna build
a factory here. We're cut a deal and they're gonna
do this. We cut a deal, He's gonna build this.
That's great, that's wonderful. But all that changes like that
the second the American people lose their minds again and
vote for another communist.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
The communist is going to come in. He's going to.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Regulate every single part of the whole thing, drive all
these businesses out, and then we're screwed.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Look at the Keystone Pipeline.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Remember the conversation we have with Daniel Turner, that big
Keystone pipeline, all those jobs. Joe Biden comes in, I
believe it's the first day he stops it. Executive order
stops a keystone pipeline. Do you have any idea how
much money and time it took in it took to
get the permitting and everything done to get that pipeline started.
Get we elect a democrat, he destroys it now. Donald
(28:04):
Trump has already publicly said he wants to start it
up again. But if you're the Keystone pipeline, guys, why
would you bother again?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Why would I bother firing it up? I'm one Democrat
away from getting all my money blown away again.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You see the issue now?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I guess I didn't ever actually get into the trade
war portion of this.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Which we can. We can.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Let's dig into that. Before we dig into that, we
are going into a Memorial Day weekend where we will
honor the fallen, especially on Monday Memorial Day. And if
I may make a suggestion, if this time tugs at
your heart, if you have a heart for the people
who gave their lives for this country, it's a really
(28:50):
good time to help their families out. I know Afghanistans over,
I know Iraq is over, but the pain of having
lost your husband, your son, your daughter there is not
over at all. Those families they still think about it
all the time, especially over the weekend. Tunnel to Towers
(29:11):
helps them three hundred and sixty five days a year,
not just on Memorial Day, out there paying off their mortgages. Remember,
the Tunnel to Towers build them an entire village to
live in in Florida. I mean, just wonderful, wonderful, God
bless things. Eleven bucks a month is all Tunnel to
Towers has ever asked for sign up. To give it automatically,
(29:31):
you'll never know it's gone. T twot dot org, T
the number two T dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It's still real to me, dammit, the tyrnstacks. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Friday, taking about
tariffs in the coming trade war. And then we have
all kinds of other questions we're going to get into here.
Now we may even talk about Abraham Lincoln next. Someone
wanted to talk about him. But somebody's nervous about the
(30:06):
trade war that's coming. Well, remember we got to pause
a ninety day pause on the trade war while they
try to work something out. But I, along with a
lot of people I trust, are very pessimistic. Something will
be worked out because of what we just talked about,
(30:27):
the world has adjusted to things being made in China
and bought in America. That's what the world has adjusted to.
This is you know, I've made this. I've made this
comparison before that when I was talking about national divorce,
how I believe we should get a divorce as a country.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We won't go into the details of that right.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Now, but I've said it's like, it's like a married
couple that doesn't have any common values at all.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
He wants to live.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
In the suburbs and go to church on Sunday and
raise a family. She wants to go tour with Metallica
and do Blackstar Heroin in Europe. Those those two people
are too far apart. There's no there's no there's no
common values.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
They need to separate. So let's do that here. When
it comes to the trade war, China's entire economy, in fact,
jijin Ping's political power rests on them making things in
China because if they stop. They already experienced this when
Trump fired the first shot in this little trade war.
(31:30):
When those manufacturing facilities stop, jijin Ping all of a
sudden has ten twenty thirty forty million people angry, hungry,
and out of work. That's how you get a revolution
in your country. You don't survive. He has to make
things there. He's built his entire life on it. Vice versa.
(31:56):
Donald Trump is dead serious about making things here structurally.
I don't see how that changes in ninety days. I
don't now. I don't want to act like all is lost.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It may not be.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Both of these gentlemen have an interest in making a
deal because if a trade war comes, and what that's
probably probably close to sixty days away. Now, if a
trade war actually does come, everyone will feel it. And
in fact, it's not hard to imagine a trade war
(32:34):
turning into a real war of some kind somewhere. They
usually do. There's an old, old saying, and I don't
even know who said it. When goods stop crossing borders,
armies will. It's very true. It's very true. When you
get in a trade war with somebody, what you've done
is you've created a hostile situation and they don't have
(32:59):
they don't have as much to lose as they did before.
That's why Donald Trump loves to do deals. Deals keep
the peace. They do when you go strike a deal
with somebody and hey, I'm benefiting economically and you're benefiting economically. Hey,
we don't want to Let's not fight about anything here.
We're both making a lot of money. We're doing fine deals.
Keep the peace.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
What if you don't have a deal.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What if a deal is broken, Well, then you can
end up in a really bad situation. Dear anti, commy coach.
The subject to this one is Civil War. I just
heard your thoughts about Lincoln keeping the Union together and
the resulting outcome of America having a huge influence on
the world wars. Didn't you miss something? Oh, Abe was
(33:41):
a staunch abolitionist. I think preservation of the Union was
the pretext, but the ultimate goal was ending slavery. That's
what I'm teaching my daughters. Anyway, your thoughts says, I
can use his name. His name is zach Eh. Not really,
with all due respect, You're not crazy because Lincoln was
(34:04):
a staunch evolutionist.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
To his credit.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
To his credit, he thought slavery was freaking abhorrent and
wanted it stopped. And he deserves credit for thinking that,
because slavery is freaking abhorrent. Owning another human being as gross.
But that is not why Lincoln fought the Civil War.
The Civil War was started to keep the Union together.
Abraham Lincoln did not believe the South had the ability,
(34:31):
had the authority under the law, to break away and
become their own country. He was dead wrong about that.
By the way, of course, the South had the authority
to break away. The States would never have joined to
become the United States if they didn't think they had
the authority to break away at some point in time.
So he was dead wrong. I mean, by the law.
He was dead wrong about that. But that's why he
fought it. He was so adamant about the Union staying together.
(34:55):
He actually offered the South, hey, you can keep your slaves,
just back to the Union. Lincoln offered them that he
was sitting in an abolutionist I don't want to act like
he wasn't. I don't want to act like he wasn't
serious about that. He was obviously dead serious about that.
But Abraham Lincoln, he was willing to let all those
slaves stay right on the plantation getting abused as long
(35:16):
as the South came back into the Union. Now, no
one ever learns these facts because American schools are so
dumb down at this point. You're only allowed to learn
North good South Batah. That's the extent of people's knowledge
on the Civil War. But as I've told you a
million times before, the Civil War was an incredibly complicated affair,
(35:36):
a horrible affair with angels and demons on both sides
of the equation. Now people will take that whatever way
they want to take that. I don't give a crap
how you take it. But it was not some clean
we love clean, we love.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Movies.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's the good guy, very that's Captain America. Look at him,
his teeth are he's handsome. He's fighting against a red skull.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Look at his skull.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Look how ugly he is. He's a murderer. He kills people.
That's the bad guy. That's the good guy. Good must
fight against evil. And when we love that, But human beings,
when it comes to human beings, that's very rarely the case,
very very rarely the case.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You have to go.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You have to take your bad to extreme in order
to make yourself well. Very clearly, the Hitler right, you
have to try to exterminate every jew on the planet.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Before people were all okay, well, we probably.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Found our bad guy here is this is most likely
not the good guy in the story. Real life doesn't
work that way. Oftentimes it doesn't work that way. We
want clean, we want clean and easy, and that slavery's
part of that conversation. It makes it easy for people. Well,
they wanted slaves and they didn't. So those are the
good guys and those are the bad guys. Completely not true,
(37:00):
completely not true, very very complicated affair.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Let's move off that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Let's talk about the Communists around Joe Biden, Islam versus Communism.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
All that and so much more still to come on
the world famous Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 3 (37:14):
As we go into Memorial Day, Hang on,
This is a Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Let's have some fun.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
On a Friday. Of course, it's a glorious Friday. We
are cruising into a Memorial Day weekend. Put a smile
on your face. We are going to be all over
the map tonight because it's asked Doctor Jesse Friday. We're
gonna talk about big city urban democrats and voting that way,
(00:47):
and why someone wants to talk about the why someone's
moving from San Diego wants to know where to go, tariff,
somebody has a bad feeling about the coming trade war,
Communism versus shir Re Law. All that and so much
more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
And a reminder again, yes, Chris, I will remind them again.
(01:11):
The names are already flooding in. But on Monday we.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Will be here.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We will be live here and if you miss it,
you can download a podcast of it. Of course, but
we will do a Memorial Day special on Monday, not
our normal show. We won't be goofing off, we won't
be doing politics. It will be all honoring the fallen.
It's gonna be a bunch of history history, wars, battles,
honoring the fallen. And if you have a name of
(01:39):
somebody who died in service to this country, name rank, conflict,
you can email it in Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
They're already piling up. We will try try to read
every single name so we can honor those who gave
it all for this country. And one more word on
this before we get into the questions. I told you
(02:02):
yesterday that Memorial Day is only for the fallen.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I warned you about watering it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Down and all the veterans and firefighters.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I know you're doing it out of politeness. The people
who gave their lives for this country and their families
left behind deserve an unwatered down day, their own sacred day. However,
enjoy yourself this weekend. I will tell you this. I
know people who died for this country. Every single guy
(02:40):
I know who died for this country. I promise you
would want you to enjoy yourself this weekend. They wouldn't
want you sitting around. Don't listen to anybody tell you
what it's not about. Hot dogs and family time.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Have hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Have family time, enjoy yourself, enjoy your long weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
All right, all right now, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
You often correctly say you voted for this after the
population of blue cities keep electing or re electing Democrats
scumbag leadership. However, you never really dive into why. The
fact of the matter is there's a significant portion of
the voting population that could.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Care less, so on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, why why do big city Democrats continue to go
re elect the worst scumbags in the world who destroy
your cities? First, let's cover this. Big city Democrats really
(03:47):
Democrats in general. But people vote generally for the same
party every time. Most voters vote for the same party
every time. And I'm not just pointing fingers at the
other side. If I walk into a voting booth and
I don't know who to vote for or whatever, I
vote for the Republican. But even if I do know
(04:07):
who to vote for, I vote for the Republican every time.
So and oftentimes oftentimes it's generational. You vote for the
party your family always voted for. Well, my parents always
voted for Republicans, so I vote my parents. So there's
that that is extremely strong. Why do you think it
(04:28):
is that there are so many Democrats, especially older Democrats,
who are probably more moderate blue dog types, even Southern
Democrat types, you know, pro life, but you like unions
or something like that. Yet they won't vote for Republicans. Well,
they've been voting Democrats for their entire lives. It's hard
to break that chain when that's what you've always done.
(04:51):
You may complain about Democrats, you may not like the
direction Democrats are going, but you still vote for Democrats.
So that's part of it. Another huge part of it
is this not that many people actually vote in the elections,
especially local elections, and in a big city we'll call
(05:12):
it Philadelphia, because I was trashing the Philadelphia voter for
re electing Krasner, that piece of crap Soros DA who
keeps letting all the murderers out of prison. I was
ranting and raving about it. But the truth is, in
local elections, not many people show up, but who does
(05:32):
who does show up the most committed, the most committed
Democrat in a big city. Because if you're a Republican
in a big city, and I know there are many
listening to my voice right now in New York and
San Diego and Seattle, in Miami and everywhere big city Republicans,
(05:53):
they know they're not going to win. And look, I'll
be honest with you. If I if I lived in Washington,
d C. Still, even though I lived in Northern Virginia,
but we'll call it DC when I lived there for
a year, I don't know how often I would vote.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Isn't that terrible?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I mean, I think I'd probably make myself vote just
because I feel obligated to do it, and I would
want to do it in front of my kids. But
a city that's ninety four percent ninety two percent Democrat
or something like that, why even waste the gas to
drive down to the polls. You're not winning anything. So
what happens is Republicans in these big cities don't.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Bother to show up.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And it's completely understandable, and most Democrats don't bother to
show up. But who does show up the most committed
communists in the city. You don't have to rally that
many votes, whether it's a big city or a small town.
If it is a local election, it is winnable depending
(06:52):
on the circumstances. In fact, I want to read you
this email. Got this email a few days ago. I
want to read this to you, Jesse.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'm going to leave out the location because I don't
know that he wants that red.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Jesse.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I won my primary for it's a city council or
it's because you berated us to get.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Involved small town. He says.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You know what the turnout was for Republican voters? Thirty percent?
He writes it right here in the email. He said,
that makes it easy for us to win because all
you have to do is knock on doors for less
time than watching.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A football game.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The people who vote are the people who care, and
if you care enough to knock on doors and introduce
yourself as a candidate, you win. So I went from
being an anti communist on the water board to the
town council asked me not to name his name, and
I of course will not. Now that's the example in
the other direction.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
When we think if we're in.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A small area, small town, we think to ourselves, Wow,
city council, you know, county board of supervisors, any of
these things. We think these things are unattainable. Guy who's
on there, he's been there for twenty years. Yeah, he
hasn't had the campaign for like fifteen years because nobody
shows up to vote. You can go take back these
positions of power, and you should. But vice versa. In
(08:12):
the big cities, they don't change how they vote. They'll
complain and they'll yell and they're uh. You know, New
York City, they'll elect Bill de Blasio and then they
hate his guts.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I hate him.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
He sucks. I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
The cops hate him. I hate him. I hate him.
I hate him.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
He's up for reelection, right back into office again. Human
beings have a hard time changing their bad habits. We
all do, I do. But big city democrats they really
truly vote for their own demise. And then of course
you have the ghetto areas of the big city, and
(08:51):
they're always always enlisted like an army. Oftentimes they cheat
by the way, using these areas. If you go in
Harlem in New York City would be a wonderful example
of this, even though they're it's getting better, But either way,
Harlem would be a wonderful example of this. The black
population of Harlem. The Democrats just prey on these people
(09:12):
because they don't really give a crap that much about politics.
In large part they don't care about politics, and so
Democrats they'll ballot harvest all the time. Hey, everybody, bring
me your ballot. And those people don't give a crap
if you're in a really poor part of town. Oftentimes
those people don't care about politics, got bigger fish to fry,
trying to avoid getting shot and everything else, so they
(09:32):
just don't care about politics. It's a real self licking
ice cream cone these big cities. Democrat politics snowballing the
more Democrat politics, which snowball into more Democrat politics, and
it's never ending. And then what else happens, is anybody
read anybody sane? They move out. They're gone. There's not
(09:56):
Republicans in Manhattan, not many of them. They get along
Island gone. If you have to work in the city,
you're gone. You pack it up and you leave. And
the same thing happens in La same thing happens in
San Diego. You're not going to stay in the city
center with all that blue filth. You're gonna find the
reddest suburb you can find that's still a decent commute
to work, and you're gone, so you don't even get
(10:17):
to vote in it. It's a it's a big old
fat mess. Now, let's talk about moving. Let's talk about tariffs,
the coming trade war. Let me talk to you about history.
You enjoy that when I do that, don't you? Well,
Hillsdale will teach you about history, and just like me,
(10:40):
they don't charge for it. How cool is that? I've
always I have always admired that about Hillsdale College. And
last time I met with them, I told them that
that was before they were even partners with the show.
I told them I love that They've been handing out
knowledge for free.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
For as long as I've been.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Involved in politics, Hillsdale has been sending out mailers doing
things for free. They want this critical wisdom in people's homes,
so they don't charge for it. They're offering more than
forty free online courses long weekend, maybe knock out one class,
something productive. Do you think your children would benefit from
(11:20):
understanding capitalism?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's one of their free courses.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Go to Hillsdale dot edu slash jesse. That's how you
get it at no cost. Hillsdale dot edu slash jesse.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Feeling a little stocky, Follow like and subscribe on social
at jesse kellydc.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, fantastic
Friday and ask doctor Jesse Friday, And of course we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Dig into well, if someone has concerns about the tariff
wars stuff, we'll get into that in the moment. This
guy says, Hey, Jesse, I'm close to moving out of
California and I'm to go full deep red in my
next home. There's plenty of states that have the Republican trifecta,
but I wanted to see if there's a good way
to check and see if the government is actually holding
true or just phoning it in. This guy is well,
(12:15):
I will say he's from San Diego. So let me
warn you right off the bat, buddy, because I have
buddies who have moved from San Diego.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
There is something.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm sure you appreciate, but maybe not enough that you're
going to have to give up. I understand San Diego
has really, really, really fallen off since the dirty comedies
have filled it up with crime and homelessness. I get
that the gas Lamp District, all that wonderful stuff San
Diego is just isn't what it was when I used
to enjoy it. But it's still perfect weather all twelve
(12:55):
months of the year, and that doesn't exist anywhere else
in the United States of America except for southern California.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
It just does not.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So you really, really really need to prepare yourself for
summers where you sweat a lot, for winters where you
freeze for You're going to move and you're going to
discover this wild concept of four seasons, and not all
of them are pleasant. So I'm just warning you that
(13:27):
right off the bat, as far as states go.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
What's a good way. I'll tell you what's an.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Underrated state right now that is starting to elect some seriously,
seriously far right people.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Everybody knows about Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Everyone knows about Florida and Rohnda Santis and the amazing
job he's done there. So I'm not gonna tell you Florida.
Missouri nobo he thinks about Missouri. Missouri has some crazy
beautiful spots to it. Missouri is going hard hard right.
Missouri is worth a look. Arkansas's worth the look, of course, Texas.
(14:02):
Oklahoma's amazing. Oklahoma doesn't get near enough credit. Oklahoma's a
sweet place. Nebraska now, moving from San Diego to Nebraska,
maybe a little bit of a environmental shock. It is
a touch flat, I will say, But Nebraska has it
together as far as governments go. If that's what you're
asking me, though, you want to move to a red
(14:24):
state that has you know, read this, read this, read
up and down. There is not a red state that
doesn't need more help, more maintenance. Red state that look
Texas in particular. But I don't even mean to sing
about my own state, Texas, our state legislature, our Republicans
(14:46):
are embarrassing here, embarrassing they're half Democrats here. Honestly, Wyoming.
Everyone knows my love for the Rocky Mountains and Wyoming
and Antelo Punt and all that stuff. I've been up
there a million times. That's really where I grew up
in Montana, right up there by it. Wyoming is embarrassing
with its Republicans. It sends they're all Republicans.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
There's not a registered Democrat in the state, I don't think.
But the Republicans they send, they're half Democrats. They put
in R by their name. What's the perfect trifecta? What's
a good way to check? Let me go ahead and
spoil it for you. There ain't a good one. Every
single one of them need help. Every single red state
(15:29):
needs help. I probably should have mentioned this though, the Carolinas.
I've brought this up before. If you've never spent any
time in the Carolinas, I would recommend it. I love
the Carolinas. Did you just sneer at the Carolinas? Chris?
What is your problem North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
What's wrong?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
What's wrong with South Carolina? Oh you don't like North Carolina?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
North Carolina's amazing, amazing one. I know there's a lot
of Democrats. It's very much a purple state. I get that.
But it's trending right, it's trending right. They need more
Republicans there. Honestly, probably outside of Southern California, North Carolina
may have the best weather in the country. The food
(16:20):
is fantastic. There's beach if you're a beach guy, There's hills,
there's North Carolina should be looked at. Don't discount North Carolina. Hey, Jesse,
Happy Friday. Not to be overly pessimistic here, but I
just have a really bad feeling about the tariff war.
At this point, I was hopeful until recently. It seems
President g has won this round and by that he's
(16:42):
won for the long ride. I know his days are numbered.
China isn't doing well, so on and so forth. Will
the end of the ninety days be Donald Trump's Will
the end of ninety days be Donald Trump's second chance?
Or is that window permanently closed? Okay, So just to
recap what he's talking about here, we are in a
(17:05):
trade war with China. It's just nobody's firing shots yet.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Meaning Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Wants a reset on how global trade works, on where
things are made. We'll focus on that part of it,
where things are made. I get that, and I agree.
I want to make things here in America. I want
blue collar jobs here in America, manufacturing jobs here in America.
So that's what Trump wants. But here's the problem with that.
(17:39):
Have you ever been super out of shape and started

Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's a scream baby, the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wonderful Friday.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Member.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So this guy has.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A bad feeling about the coming trade war and stuff,
and so we're just well, let's recap.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Where we're at right now.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
The world US, China, every the world over a period
of time, it's been a cup decades, more than a
couple over decades. The world has slowly, because it's a
slow process, slowly but surely started to move its physical
manufacturing to China. They did this for a couple different reasons. One,
(20:23):
China wanted to start making things there, So China started
focusing on that by incentivizing businesses to come there. Hey,
come here, come here, come here. We don't have an EPA.
Who's gonna bother you. We're gonna just start up your
factory here. You can dump sludge into the water for
all we give a crap. Make your things here, make
your things here. So it became financially beneficial while China
(20:45):
was making it financially beneficial. It's not just America, the
other major countries, the other economic powers in the world,
the UK, America, everything else. They started allowing more and
more leftism to creep into their politics. The West in general,
I know, we just want an election. The West in
(21:07):
general has only moved to the left. From a thirty
thousand foot view, if you're looking down on it, they've
only moved left, left, left, left left. Well, the more
you go towards communism, the less business friendly it's going
to be, because the left believes in controlling businesses. You
will do this, will regulate that, you need a permit
for this, we'll tax that. So as Western civilization has
(21:31):
gotten more hostile to business, China has gotten friendlier to business,
and inevitably that has sucked all the business, all the manufacturing,
I should say, into the waiting arms of China. That
brings us where we are now. Donald Trump sees this
as a huge issue, and he's correct. He sees it
as a national security issue, and he's correct about that
(21:54):
as well. So how do we get it back? It's
the ultimate question.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
We get it back.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Trump has believed in tariffs for as long as Donald
Trump has spoken about public policy. This is not something
I've tried to explain this to people. This is not
something Trump came up with yesterday, and you're not going
to talk him out of it. Donald Trump was speaking
about tariffs and protectionism a long time before he even
(22:21):
ran for president or got involved in public office. He
believes in that all the way. He's very much a protectionist.
So now he views tariffs as a way to essentially
force those businesses to come back home, forced them to
come back home. In fact, let me do this, it's
completely unprofessional. Sorry, I'm doing this on the fly.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Here.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
He set out this message this morning.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
As a matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Quote, this is a public message Donald Trump put out.
I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that
I expect their iPhones will be sold in the United
States of America, will be manufactured and built in the
United States, not India or any place else. If that
is not the case, a tariff of at least twenty
(23:11):
five percent must be paid by Apple to the US.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. Well he
actually said thank your for your attention in this matter.
But I get it, Donald, I do. I misspell things
all the time. It's no big deal. This is what
he believes. If you're not going to bring your business
back here, I'll I'll essentially find you, is what he's saying.
(23:34):
I will, I will find you for not bringing your
business back here. Now, you can love that or you
can hate that. It doesn't matter. But the truth is
that fine, whatever it is, it doesn't change what's happened
over the decades. The manufacturing is there, and the manufacturing
(23:54):
is there well because China wants it there and we
ran them out, and those things haven't really changed. And
you can argue that Donald Trump is deregulating the economy here,
and he is. He's doing a very good jobating deregulating
the economy. He's getting all this ridiculous regulation out of
(24:15):
the way. However, if I let's say I want to
start a big steel factory, that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do steel, Okay, all right, well, Donald Trump
and his policies are good for me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Good.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I think I'll start a big steel factory in Ohio
because Donald Trump and his policies are good for me.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Now, let me ask you something. How long is it
going to take me?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I have an empty plot of land to get a
steel manu steel factory up and running. Where that is
a year? Two years, Let's just say a year. You
don't have to be a construction expert. Let's say a year. Okay, good,
Let's say I start now. Good, it is May twenty third.
I'm gonna start right now. So May twenty third of
(24:58):
twenty twenty six, my steel factories up and running and
churning and burning. How much money have I invested? How
much money? Frankly have I borrowed? To get that steel
factory up and running. I had to get what we'll
wake up A number. I had to get a I
had to get a fifty million dollar loan from the
bank to get that manufacturing up and running. So now
I'm paying off a fifty million dollar mortgage getting my
(25:20):
steel up and running. However, it's May twenty third, twenty
twenty six, a year from now. That's two years away
from an election. If Democrats win that election, they will
immediately put back into place a bunch of policies that
(25:40):
make my steel factory basically defunct. They'll put me out
of business. And then I'm on the hook for a
fifty million dollar mortgage and I can't pay it off
because Democrats hate me. So whatever we do now, you always,
if you're a businessman, you don't have to be involved politics.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
If you're a.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Businessman, you can be completely agnostic about politics. If you're
a businessman, the prospect of Democrats taking power again is
always looming over you, always looming over you. You are
one Democrat election away from getting smashed. And you can
say all day long til you're blue in the face,
(26:22):
they're unpopular. Right now, it looks like we're probably gonna
have a really great candidate, probably gonna be jd Vance
or someone like that. They let's say they have some
idiot like Newsom or someone be there. Oh, there's no
way jd Vance is gonna lose to Newsom.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh, don't give me that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
What happens three months before the election, we found out
jd Vance has been jd Vance has been cheating on
his taxes for five years No, I don't think jad
Vance has done that. But that's the kind of stuff
that happens in politics. Some huge scandal pops up right
before the election. Only it's a legitimate scandal. Boop boop boop.
Gavin Newsom's president. My steel meal gone gone. If we
(27:02):
don't fundamentally change the Democrat Party, we cannot ever truly
bring manufacturing back here in a lasting way.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
We can.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Look, Donald Trump can cut these deals, and I'm glad
he is. We cut a deal and they're gonna build
a factory here. We're cut a deal and they're gonna
do this. We cut a deal, He's gonna build this.
That's great, that's wonderful. But all that changes like that
the second the American people lose their minds again and
vote for another communist.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
The communist is going to come in. He's going to.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Regulate every single part of the whole thing, drive all
these businesses out, and then we're screwed.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Look at the Keystone Pipeline.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Remember the conversation we have with Daniel Turner, that big
Keystone pipeline, all those jobs. Joe Biden comes in, I
believe it's the first day he stops it. Executive order
stops a keystone pipeline. Do you have any idea how
much money and time it took in it took to
get the permitting and everything done to get that pipeline started.
Get we elect a democrat, he destroys it now. Donald
(28:04):
Trump has already publicly said he wants to start it
up again. But if you're the Keystone pipeline, guys, why
would you bother again?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Why would I bother firing it up? I'm one Democrat
away from getting all my money blown away again.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You see the issue now?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I guess I didn't ever actually get into the trade
war portion of this.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Which we can. We can.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Let's dig into that. Before we dig into that, we
are going into a Memorial Day weekend where we will
honor the fallen, especially on Monday Memorial Day. And if
I may make a suggestion, if this time tugs at
your heart, if you have a heart for the people
who gave their lives for this country, it's a really
(28:50):
good time to help their families out. I know Afghanistans over,
I know Iraq is over, but the pain of having
lost your husband, your son, your daughter there is not
over at all. Those families they still think about it
all the time, especially over the weekend. Tunnel to Towers
(29:11):
helps them three hundred and sixty five days a year,
not just on Memorial Day, out there paying off their mortgages. Remember,
the Tunnel to Towers build them an entire village to
live in in Florida. I mean, just wonderful, wonderful, God
bless things. Eleven bucks a month is all Tunnel to
Towers has ever asked for sign up. To give it automatically,
(29:31):
you'll never know it's gone. T twot dot org, T
the number two T dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
We'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It's still real to me, dammit, the tyrnstacks. It is
the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Friday, taking about
tariffs in the coming trade war. And then we have
all kinds of other questions we're going to get into here.
Now we may even talk about Abraham Lincoln next. Someone
wanted to talk about him. But somebody's nervous about the
(30:06):
trade war that's coming. Well, remember we got to pause
a ninety day pause on the trade war while they
try to work something out. But I, along with a
lot of people I trust, are very pessimistic. Something will
be worked out because of what we just talked about,
(30:27):
the world has adjusted to things being made in China
and bought in America. That's what the world has adjusted to.
This is you know, I've made this. I've made this
comparison before that when I was talking about national divorce,
how I believe we should get a divorce as a country.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We won't go into the details of that right.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Now, but I've said it's like, it's like a married
couple that doesn't have any common values at all.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
He wants to live.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
In the suburbs and go to church on Sunday and
raise a family. She wants to go tour with Metallica
and do Blackstar Heroin in Europe. Those those two people
are too far apart. There's no there's no there's no
common values.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
They need to separate. So let's do that here. When
it comes to the trade war, China's entire economy, in fact,
jijin Ping's political power rests on them making things in
China because if they stop. They already experienced this when
Trump fired the first shot in this little trade war.
(31:30):
When those manufacturing facilities stop, jijin Ping all of a
sudden has ten twenty thirty forty million people angry, hungry,
and out of work. That's how you get a revolution
in your country. You don't survive. He has to make
things there. He's built his entire life on it. Vice versa.
(31:56):
Donald Trump is dead serious about making things here structurally.
I don't see how that changes in ninety days. I
don't now. I don't want to act like all is lost.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It may not be.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Both of these gentlemen have an interest in making a
deal because if a trade war comes, and what that's
probably probably close to sixty days away. Now, if a
trade war actually does come, everyone will feel it. And
in fact, it's not hard to imagine a trade war
(32:34):
turning into a real war of some kind somewhere. They
usually do. There's an old, old saying, and I don't
even know who said it. When goods stop crossing borders,
armies will. It's very true. It's very true. When you
get in a trade war with somebody, what you've done
is you've created a hostile situation and they don't have
(32:59):
they don't have as much to lose as they did before.
That's why Donald Trump loves to do deals. Deals keep
the peace. They do when you go strike a deal
with somebody and hey, I'm benefiting economically and you're benefiting economically. Hey,
we don't want to Let's not fight about anything here.
We're both making a lot of money. We're doing fine deals.
Keep the peace.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
What if you don't have a deal.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
What if a deal is broken, Well, then you can
end up in a really bad situation. Dear anti, commy coach.
The subject to this one is Civil War. I just
heard your thoughts about Lincoln keeping the Union together and
the resulting outcome of America having a huge influence on
the world wars. Didn't you miss something? Oh, Abe was
(33:41):
a staunch abolitionist. I think preservation of the Union was
the pretext, but the ultimate goal was ending slavery. That's
what I'm teaching my daughters. Anyway, your thoughts says, I
can use his name. His name is zach Eh. Not really,
with all due respect, You're not crazy because Lincoln was
(34:04):
a staunch evolutionist.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
To his credit.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
To his credit, he thought slavery was freaking abhorrent and
wanted it stopped. And he deserves credit for thinking that,
because slavery is freaking abhorrent. Owning another human being as gross.
But that is not why Lincoln fought the Civil War.
The Civil War was started to keep the Union together.
Abraham Lincoln did not believe the South had the ability,
(34:31):
had the authority under the law, to break away and
become their own country. He was dead wrong about that.
By the way, of course, the South had the authority
to break away. The States would never have joined to
become the United States if they didn't think they had
the authority to break away at some point in time.
So he was dead wrong. I mean, by the law.
He was dead wrong about that. But that's why he
fought it. He was so adamant about the Union staying together.
(34:55):
He actually offered the South, hey, you can keep your slaves,
just back to the Union. Lincoln offered them that he
was sitting in an abolutionist I don't want to act like
he wasn't. I don't want to act like he wasn't
serious about that. He was obviously dead serious about that.
But Abraham Lincoln, he was willing to let all those
slaves stay right on the plantation getting abused as long
(35:16):
as the South came back into the Union. Now, no
one ever learns these facts because American schools are so
dumb down at this point. You're only allowed to learn
North good South Batah. That's the extent of people's knowledge
on the Civil War. But as I've told you a
million times before, the Civil War was an incredibly complicated affair,
(35:36):
a horrible affair with angels and demons on both sides
of the equation. Now people will take that whatever way
they want to take that. I don't give a crap
how you take it. But it was not some clean
we love clean, we love.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Movies.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's the good guy, very that's Captain America. Look at him,
his teeth are he's handsome. He's fighting against a red skull.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Look at his skull.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Look how ugly he is. He's a murderer. He kills people.
That's the bad guy. That's the good guy. Good must
fight against evil. And when we love that, But human beings,
when it comes to human beings, that's very rarely the case,
very very rarely the case.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You have to go.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You have to take your bad to extreme in order
to make yourself well. Very clearly, the Hitler right, you
have to try to exterminate every jew on the planet.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Before people were all okay, well, we probably.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Found our bad guy here is this is most likely
not the good guy in the story. Real life doesn't
work that way. Oftentimes it doesn't work that way. We
want clean, we want clean and easy, and that slavery's
part of that conversation. It makes it easy for people. Well,
they wanted slaves and they didn't. So those are the
good guys and those are the bad guys. Completely not true,
(37:00):
completely not true, very very complicated affair.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Let's move off that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Let's talk about the Communists around Joe Biden, Islam versus Communism.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
All that and so much more still to come on
the world famous Jesse Kelly Show
Speaker 3 (37:14):
