Hour 2: A System Loyalist

Who’s the favorite to lead the GOP in the senate? The disaster that would be a John Cornyn leadership. A Trump presidency crippled again by weak republicans. You get into leadership by raising money. Where does the money come from in political races?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a Monday. And here's what we got this hour. I
have a a thing a little Birdie told me that's
going to require your attention and my attention. That's coming

(00:32):
up right after Medal of Honor Monday, which we are
about to do right now. Remember this, Yes, you can
email the show love hate, death threats, but you can
also email the show any medal of honor citation you
may like or recommend or have a relation relation to you.
That's totally fine. This one was sent into us here

(00:54):
and it's a doozy. It's from Vietnam. These Vietnam ones
always they're just there's something those Vietnam. So that's what
we're about to do. We're about to do Medal of
Honor Monday, and then we have some work to do.
You and I some emails. The Harris campaign falling behind
with male voters even more. All that is still to
come on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. But without

(01:15):
further ado, let us do the Medal of Honor citation.
Let us revere a hero. Remember his name, Remember his deeds.
Let's talk to our kids about him and show them
that that guy, that's who you want to be like.
You want to be like A William Atkinson Atkinson Jones
the third US Air Force.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Right Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond It's
Medal of Honor Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity and action at the risk
of his life above and beyond the call of duty.
Colonel Jones distinguished himself as the pilot of an A
one a H Skyraider aircraft near Dong Hoy, North Vietnam
on that day as the onseen commander in the attempted
rescue of a downed US pilot. Colonel jones aircraft was

(02:12):
repeatedly hit by heavy and accurate anti anti aircraft fire.
On one of his low passes, Colonel Jones felt an
explosion beneath his aircraft and his cockpit rapidly filled with smoke.
With complete disregard of the possibility that his aircraft might
still be burning, he unhesitatingly continued his search for the

(02:36):
downed pilot. On this pass, he sighted the survivor and
a multiple and a multiple barrel gun position firing at
him from near the top of a karst formation. He
could not attack the gun position on that pass for
fear he would endanger the downed pilot, leaving himself exposed

(02:56):
to the gun position. Colonel Jones attacked the position with
cannon and rocket fire on two successive passes. On his
second pass, the aircraft was hit with multiple rounds of
automatic weapons fire. One round impacted the Yankee extraction system
rocket mounted directly behind the headrest, igniting the rocket. His

(03:20):
aircraft was observed to burst into flames in the center
fuselage section. With flames engulfing the cockpit area, he pulled
the extraction handle, jettising the canopy. Jettisoning the canopy, the
influx of fresh air made the fire burn with greater
intensity for a few moments, but since the rocket mortar

(03:42):
had already burned, the extraction system did not pull Colonel
Jones from the aircraft. Despite searing pains from severe burns
sustained on his arms, hands, legs, shoulder, and face, Colonel
Jones pulled his aircraft into a climb and attempted to
transmit the location of the down pilot and the enemy

(04:04):
gun position to the other aircraft in the area. His
calls were blocked by other aircraft transmissions, repeatedly directing him
to bail out, and within seconds his transmitters were disabled
and he could receive only on one channel. Completely disregarding
his injuries, he elected to fly his crippled aircraft back

(04:28):
to his base and pass on essential information for the
rescue rather than bail out. Colonel Jones successfully landed his
heavily damaged aircraft and passed the information to a debriefing
officer while on the operating table Geez. As a result
of the heroic actions and complete disregard for his personal safety,

(04:50):
the down pilot was rescued later in the day. Colonel
Jones profound concern for his fellow man at the risk
of his life above and beyond the call of are
in keeping with the highest traditions of the US Air Force,
and reflect great credit upon himself in the armed forces
of his country. Now, I don't have a ton to

(05:12):
say about that jaw dropping story, except I will say this.
Remember I told you I had to go to a
baseball game. It was a political thing, a baseball game
on Friday night. Well, I had to fly out of
town for it, and I was actually in Dallas and
Dallas right by one of their airports, they have a

(05:34):
flight museum. I know there are several flight museums around
the country, and you know, I'm a huge nerd. I
can't help it. I had a couple hours to kill
until my flight, so I was excited about going to
the museum. I realize other people go to the movies
or the bar. I went to the freaking flight museum.
What are you gonna do, sue me? I am who
I am. But I'm walking around this flight museum and

(05:57):
they have all these planes there, fighter jets, They have
a bunch of NASA stuff there, but they have prop planes, jet,
you name it. They've got a big Southwest Airlines plane
you can get in. So it runs the gamut that
the planes are all over the place, but on so
many of the planes the military aircraft. As I'm walking

(06:21):
by them, I marveled at you pilots, and I'm gonna
say fighter pilot, but I don't just mean fighter pilots.
I'm talking anybody who's flown a plane in the Air Force, Navy,
or Marine Corps that involved ground support operations, or maybe

(06:41):
you were a fighter pilot, or if you flew on
a helicopter, a plane of any kind in the military.
As much as I love to give the Air Force crap,
you blow me away with your bravery because these planes
there's so much smaller than you think they're gonna be

(07:02):
when you stand beside them. And not only smaller they
have they have the real actual planes are in there.
You look in and there's just nothing to them. And yes, Chris,
they're made of nothing that you think. At least I
would think. And I used to think before I before

(07:24):
I knew better, before I joined the Marines and read
more and knew better. When you look at, uh, what's
a movie? A top gun is a great example. Everyone's
seeing top gun, at least one of them, probably both
of them. When you look at those fighter jets, maybe
you have in your mind I did, so if you do,
you're not dumb. But if you don't, good for you.

(07:44):
Maybe you think in your mind that those planes are
in some way armored. I would look at those planes
and I would say to myself, Wow, that's really cool.
Look at the guns, look at the missiles, and you
see that pop that that that pilot in there in
the cockpit, he's got to be protected, right, yeah, no,

(08:05):
no he's not. And as I'm looking at these planes
in the flight museum, it occurs to me, not only
does this plane look brittle and look dangerous sitting on
the ground, men and women. I want to give credit
where its to. There are a lot of wonderful female pilots,
men and women. That's actually weird. They can't drive, but

(08:27):
they fly really well. Men and women. They will routinely
get in these aircraft and you might die every single time.
It might be a training accident, but you are in
paper thin nothing. You are flying at high speeds. You're
surrounded by extremely flammable things, from the AMMO, to the missiles,

(08:53):
to the bombs to the freaking fuel itself. You know
how flammable aviation fuel is. Here's a little tidbit for
you. You may not know. Many, many, many, many, many World
War Two naval ships, not necessarily just from America, although

(09:13):
we were part of this too, but other countries as well.
Many naval ships went down, not necessarily because of the
damage they sustained from the original explosion from the bomb, torpedo,
whatever it is. They went down because eventually the flames
found their way to the aviation fuel that is. There's

(09:35):
a one story of a Japanese ship. I forget the
name of the ship. It got hit by an American
submarine's torpedo. One torpedo. The sub had shot a bunch
of them at it. I won't go into the details.
But one torpedo hits the hits the carrier. It's an
aircraft carrier. Okay, one torpedoes. Not the end of the world.
They're taking on some water, but they kind of got

(09:55):
the water thing under the under control. It's not great,
but eventually that aircraft carrier went to the bottom of
the ocean. Why the torpedo ruptured the ab gas the
aviation fuel area, and the aviation fuel put out a
vapor slowly but surely in the ship that hours and

(10:18):
hours and hours later, it just blew up. It just
blew up. And these pilots use psychopilots. You get in
these planes, then you fly this brittle machine on top
of all this explosive stuff. In this story here he
keeps making passes. Imagine burning to death, and imagine being

(10:39):
on a plane that might go and go up in
flames at any moment or just flat out crash. Where
you get to spend thirty seconds, plummeting to the earth, praying,
saying goodbye to your wife, and you make several passes
to save the guy's life on the ground. That's pretty awesome, right,
all right. I have a little bit who's been whispering

(11:01):
some things in my year about something coming in DC
that you need, you need to know and you're gonna
have to do something. I mean, we'll talk about that
something in a moment. Before we get to that something,
we need to talk about health. It's one of the
things I'm actually really really grateful RFK Junior has been
louder about, especially now that he's part of the Trump

(11:24):
campaign and Trump is letting him speak on this, and
I like that health, basic health, and he's criticizing our
healthcare systems in the country. Natural herbal supplements are something
you need to incorporate in your life as a first
line of defense, not a last line of defense. Do

(11:44):
you have the vitamins and minerals you need every day?
How are your testostere levels, How's your energy? How's your mood?
You know, Chok has something for you. Whoever you are, man, woman, old, young,
doesn't matter. Chalk has the most and that's the best
way I can put this. They're so hardcore anti communist

(12:07):
it makes me a little uncomfortable. And they have the
hugest selection of natural herbal supplements I've ever seen in
my life, and they are obsessive about making sure they're
the best. Get something c hoq dot com promo code

(12:27):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, of course,
that we just had Medal of Honor Monday. We had
a great first hour. I ended up getting a little
bit upset in the first hour, but it didn't last
very long. It was fine. It was fine, Chris. Anyway,
if you miss any part of that, iHeart Spotify iTunes.
Go download a copy of it, A copy of it?

(12:49):
Do they say a copy, Chris, A podcast of it?
I can say a copy. If I want to say
a copy anyway, go download, Go download a copy of
the podcast. Hey, Chris, you're not gonna win. In case
you're wondering, Yes, it's on the soundboard and I would
get ready to hear a whole lot of that now.

(13:10):
So you know how I tell you things I think,
and I tell you things I know. I tell you
when I have a theory on something with nothing to
back it up, I'm very honest about that. And then
I tell you when I know something, well, I know something,
and we have trouble coming. It's bad trouble, and it's
something we're going to have to address and get out

(13:32):
in front of. Now, Mitch McConnell, as you know, is
done leading the GOP Senate, probably just going to retire.
But even if not, he's done. He lost that he
doesn't have enough support anymore. And now there are already
campaigning behind the scenes to choose the next leader of

(13:57):
the GOP Senate. Whether that happens to be the majority
leader or minority leader, we won't know until after the
November election, but we are choosing the leader of the
next Senate. And I have had now multiple sources who
would know. You're gonna have to trust me on that.
Tell me that John Cornyan of Texas is the odds

(14:23):
on favorite as we sit here to be the next
GOP leader of the Senate. This is disastrous on a
level I can't even properly explain to you. John Cornyn,
like Mitch McConnell before him, is a loyal system servant.

(14:49):
He will do the systems bidding at every turn. If
by a miracle from God, we actually do get a
decent piece of legislation, which you really never get. But
if we ever were to actually get one of those,
John Cornyn would use his position of power to neotera

(15:09):
said legislation, whatever it was. If there was ever anything
with teeth that went after the deep state in any way,
what's a good example of defunding the FBI. That's something
that has to happen. We cannot have an FBI and
continue as a free country. We cannot if you were
to ever actually get any cut to the FBI, I

(15:31):
don't even mean defunding it a ten twenty percent cut.
If that ever landed on John Cornyn's desk, he would
stop that legislation immediately. That's how hopeless, evil, corrupt, and
compromised John Cornyn is. And if the Communists ever wanted
a piece of legislation through, John Cornyan would massage it

(15:55):
to the point where it would get past the exact
same way he worked to pass gun control legislation in
the wake of the Uvalde shooting. After that horrible Uvaldi
school shooting, when the Communist demons were doing what they
always do, which is jump on the bodies of dead
kids to try to grab guns. Mitch McConnell also tried

(16:16):
to use that as an opportunity to grab guns. And
who did he turn to to spearhead the effort, John Cornan.
John Cornyan is the one responsible. Whenever you hear Joe
Biden Bragg about the gun control legislation he passed, and
he did pass it, and he does brag about it
all the time. You know who you can thank for that,

(16:37):
John Cornan. If John Cornyan is the next GOP leader
of the House, you might as well take that Maga
hat and walk down to the local incinerator and toss
it rightly right in because Trump will be able to
do nothing of consequence, zero zip, zilch nothing. It'll be

(16:57):
executive order this and executive Order that, all of which
will be overturned immediately by the next Democrat president. If
you want any lasting good or lasting change done under
a potential Donald Trump presidency, if we happen to get
one of those, if John Cornyn is the GOP leader
in the Senate, you can kiss those dreams bye bye gone.

(17:22):
They are gone. You could not possibly find a more disgusting,
disgraceful swamp rat than John Cornyn. And to be the
leader in the Senate comes with such an inhuman amount
of power. I don't even have enough time to break
it all down for you on the show tonight. What

(17:42):
that means. As far as committee appointments, we're talking judges,
you know, the judges that are busy destroying the country
because they always get approved by Republican losers. John Cornyan
would have a never ending revolving door of filthy communists
coming through there. The damage would be unending. It would
be worse than Mitch McConnell has been worse. And this

(18:07):
is not some far fetched thing. I got confirmation this weekend.
If the vote were held today, it would be John Cornyn.
This is the biggest deal in the world. We're gonna
discuss why it's John Cornyn, what we can do about it,

(18:30):
and break a little bit of that down in a moment,
all right, because we are not helpless here. Before we
get to that, let's save a life. Been upset about
enough tonight, Let's go ahead and save a life. Remember
the battle for the unborn. It's not just a battle
of elections or legislation that stuff's fine, ban this or
elect that that's fine. It's a battle to change the

(18:53):
hearts of Americans, to get Americans to stop seeing that
baby as a burden or a clump of cells, or
something that's going to ruin my life. Start looking at
it as what it is, a God breathed life, a
life inside of a mother. How do we get that

(19:13):
truth to people? Ultrasound It's probably the greatest weapon in
the pro life movement, ultrasound Preborn. They walk into the
highest abortion areas in the country and they offer these
women free ultrasounds. Hey, how about a free ultrasound before
you hurt that baby. If a woman lays down and
here's that ultrasound, she chooses life almost every time. Did
you know that when you give twenty eight dollars to preborn,

(19:36):
you're saving a life. Preborn dot com slash Jesse sponsored
by Preborn We'll be back. It is the Jesse Kelly
Show on a Monday, trying to keep Jewish producer Chris
from turning into a degenerate gambler. Here on the show,
in between stories, I'm talking about John Cornyan on the show.

(19:58):
The second we go to break Chris he's never you
know what he's like with money. He's turned into this gambler.
What's to bet on things? Chris Tony, don't do it,
don't don't travel down that road. No, not one time.
It's never one time, Chris, It's never one time. Back
to Cornyan. All right, Cornyan, in case you're just now
joining us, John Cornyn is the odds on favorite as

(20:22):
we speak right now to be the next GOP leader
in the Senate. I'm gonna get to what we need
to do here in a minute, but let's discuss the why,
because whenever I talk about the guys like this, why
why is this the way? Why can't we have this?
And probably I bet you you're screaming at the radio
and saying somebody who you like? Maybe you're sitting there,

(20:43):
no Mike Lee or no Ted Cruz. No, we need
brand Paul, we need Josh Howley, we need maybe you're
doing that Ron Johnson picked pick your senator. Remember how
you get into leadership, And in fact, I'm gonna tell
you a story about this in just a moment that
really it really drives home how it works in DC.
You get into leadership by raising a ton of money,

(21:08):
You then spread that money around to other Republicans who
are running senators, House members, potential Republicans who are running.
You're raising campaign money. You spend some on yourself, yes,
but that's not where the real power is bought. You
buy that power by spreading it around to others. Once

(21:30):
you do enough of that, enough people owe you favors.
When it comes time to elect a new leader, they're
going to remember the favor. I know that's awful. It
is awful, but that is how it works. Mitch McConnell
is there not because of his wonderful ability to give speeches.
Mitch McConnell's the GOP leader because he raises gobs of

(21:54):
money and hands it out to other Republicans to help
them get elected. That's how you get to leadership. That's
how you stay in leadership. Nancy Pelosi grandma vodka. What's
her specialty? This is not an attempt to ban TikTok,
It's an attempt to make TikTok better. T tech toe
a winner, a winner. Her specialty is drinking vodka. No,

(22:19):
I'm kidding. No, her specialty is raising money. That's how
that woman has been in such positions of power. For
so long. She is a fund raising machine. She raises
gobs of money and hands it out to every Democrat
running for office, buying favors. How could it be guys

(22:39):
like John Cornyn and Mitch McConnell in leadership. They raise
a ton of money and they hand it out. Now,
let's discuss the why. It's not the ones you want.
Why Why isn't it Cruz or Holly or whoever you
happen to like, whoever it may be. Why isn't it
that those guys don't raise that much money? And part

(23:00):
of the reason those guys don't raise that much money
is they are more hesitant to do things that support
the system. John Cornyn is part of the system, a
defender of the system. He's got his system membership card.
And when you have your system membership card, it's easier
to raise tons and tons of money. All this is

(23:23):
a vicious little circle. And what I'm trying to say
is it's difficult to break that circle. It's hard to
get someone in a position of power in GOP leadership
who will fight against the system because to get there,
they kind of have to be a member of the system.
And the people you love that guy. Whoever you're yelling at.
Maybe it's Marsha Blackburn, whoever, I want herd around. I

(23:46):
want the person you want in there. They don't run
for it. They don't want to raise the money or that,
or they can't raise the money and they don't run
for it. And so let's get to what you have
to do before I get to my own story. A
store I told a long time ago, but I'm gonna
tell it again now. Right now is the time to

(24:08):
make your voice heard. This is the social media era,
and there are so many negatives that come with it
being the social media era. I get that. That's why
you should go subscribe to my YouTube channel, YouTube dot
com slash Jesse KELLYDC. Now I'm kidding. Now, actually go
subscribe to it. But that's not what I'm doing. I know.

(24:28):
There's all kinds of negative that comes with it being
the social media era. I get that. But one of
the benefits is you really can speak to powerful people.
I watched I think it was over the weekend. Jd Vance.
Jdvance is a United States Senator from Ohio. He is

(24:50):
possibly probably the next Vice President of the United States
of America. He said something online a woman got I
don't know who she is, and I'm not going to
blast her name, but she got online and she blasted
jd Vance for something he had said. Jd Vance not
a staffer. Jd Vance himself got on there and responded,

(25:14):
you can talk to your senator, whoever he may be.
It doesn't have to be a phone call to his office,
although that's fine. It doesn't have to be an email,
although that's fine. But your senator, if you have a
Republican one, your senator needs to begin feeling heat from
you right now, and that heat had better be No

(25:37):
John Cornyn, no John Thune. Just remember no to the Johns.
No John Cornyn, no John Thune. We're stuck with these
rhino losers from these red states because Red state go
pears are the dumbest people in the United States of
America because they can't ever show up for a primary,
and when they do show up for a primary, they

(25:58):
show up and vote for the scumbag who already in office.
So Republicans in Texas, I'm not talking about you. Republicans
in Texas, if they even bother to show up for
the primary, which they don't, they'll show up and I'll
vote for Cornyan. I saw tv AD saying he's going
to deport the illegals, and they do the exact same
thing up in the Dakotas. They do the same thing
in the Carolinas, they do the same thing in Florida.

(26:20):
They continue these red states to vote for losers, and
it drives me nuts. Anyway, your senator, whoever it may be,
if you have a Republican one, you need to get
in front of this and let him know he better
not vote for John Cornyan or John Thune. And I
want to once again reiterate this. If John Cornyn is

(26:44):
the next GOP leader, whether he's a minority leader or
majority leader, you have exactly zero percent chance to get
any legislation through that has any teeth at all against
the deep state. Because he is a card carrying member
of the deep state of the system. It will be

(27:07):
impossible for anyone, including Donald Trump, to do something lasting
in tangible against the deep State if John Cornyn is
able to use that position of power against them, and
he will. He will. In fact, you could argue, you
could argue this is the ultimate move from a system

(27:31):
that thinks it's going to lose the presidency. The system
doesn't want to lose the presidency. They want Dome to win.
They want Kamala Harris. Go ahead, I want Kamala Heris.
I want come Aris. That's what they want. But if
it doesn't look like it's going to happen, and let's
be honest, after tomorrow night, it might not happen.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Are because this is I'm just gonna speak, Okay, So this.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Is if you can't have the presidency, and maybe even
you'll lose the Senate, that sucks if you're part of
the CYT. But the next best thing would be making
sure the GOP leader is somebody who will do your
bidding and prevent any fatal wounds to the scam you

(28:15):
have going. That's really how you need to look at
guys like John Cornyn and John Thune. They are shields
for the system, the ultimate in controlled opposition, where they'll
they'll let they'll let you do a little this, maybe
a little tax cut there, and hey, I voted, I
voted for some border wall. You'll get that kind of thing.

(28:36):
But if you actually got something that was tangible with
teeth to their desk, they would stop it. And the
system knows that if the system can't have president Kamala Harris.
The system will happily take GOP leader John Cornyn. Remember that,
And now I'll tell you a little story about how
all that money thing works, getting a little example from

(28:58):
my own life. Hang on, it is the Jesse Kelly
Show on a Monday. Email the show Jesse at Jesse
kellyshow dot com, whatever you'd like. So we were just
discussing Cornyn, John Cornyn, but being the next leader potentially
in the Senate. We need to put a stop to that.
And I was talking about raising money and spreading around

(29:20):
and why that matters. So I'm gonna tell you a story.
I've told it before, I think once on the show,
maybe twice, but I know we have a bunch of
new listeners. So here's a little story for you, a
little story time with Jesse. This is a true story.
I ran for Congress once, well twice. I got out
of the Marine Corps back in four and you know,

(29:41):
I'm a construction guy, come from a construction family. I
just went back to working construction and I was going
to community college midnight, and that's what I was doing.
I was working, going to school, just trying to figure
out life like everyone else, and I ended up doing
a construction that was way out of town. So I

(30:02):
was driving hours and hours and started to consume a
lot more political talk radio and started to read a
lot more political stuff. I'd always read historical stuff, but
started to figure out that this Barack Obama guy is
really not good. So I got mad, and having never
been involved in politics before, I just decided to run
for Congress. I know it was really dumb thing to do,
but I decided to run for Congress. Now I'm running

(30:27):
for Congress, and I'm running very early. Remember House of
Representative elections are every two years. They had just had
the election a few months ago and I was already running,
and I was running against the incumbent Democrat in Arizona.
Her name was Gabrielle Giffords. You remember she's the one
who ended up getting shot, which is freaking horrible, but

(30:47):
she ended up getting shot. So I run against Giffords,
and I'm the only one in the race for a while,
and I'm killing myself. I'm driving to every meeting, every
event wherever there are ten people gathered. I don't care
if it's some lame community event on a Saturday. I
am there, and I'm getting to be known. People are

(31:11):
figuring out that I am far far to the right,
that's for sure, and it's increasing. The following is increasing,
the support is increasing, and it's going well. Well, this
was before the race looked winnable. Then Barack Obama starts
tearing through the country because he had just been elected President,

(31:34):
Obamacare spending the works, and the Tea Party movement began
to rise. This is the beginning of the Tea Party movement,
and everyone in the country it didn't exactly take some
political operative to tell that this is going to be
a red wave when Obama has his first midterm election,
there's going to be a red wave here. Well, my

(31:54):
seat when I was running for it, originally wasn't thought
of as really winnable. It was a solidly blue district. Well,
the Tea Party thing changed, the idea changed, the mood
on that to being, hey, we might have a real
shot at this one. And the establishment GOP they liked
the sound of that. They did not, however, like the

(32:15):
sound of me. I was way beyond their control. They
said I was irreverent and disrespectful, which that's not true.
I was totally respectful. They did not like my hardcore
immigration stance, and they said no, So they went shopping
for someone else. They found a state senator to run
against me. He runs against me in the primary. They

(32:36):
throw all kinds of money at him, gobs of money,
and I couldn't figure it out the first night he
got in the race, because I was so new to politics,
I didn't understand he gets in a race. The first
night he has a party, and I think the number
six hundred thousand, but it might be five hundred thousand
dollars he raised in one night. I think I'd been
running for a year and I hadn't raised close to
that in a year. I just couldn't. I'm asking people

(32:58):
for twenty five dollars checks. I can't do it one night,
So on Flord and end up I beat him in
the primary, and I beat him solidly in the primary.
Now Arizona has this funny situation that it's a really
terrible situation where their primaries are too late. Their primaries

(33:19):
are in August. Well, early voting pretty much starts in
September by the time the primary is over. The general elections. Here,
I win the primary. I defeat this establishment guy, pounded
him good too, just blasted him out. It was a
hardcore year. It was much more my kind of year
than his kind of year. But I have to spend
every dime. I have to blow him out. I beat

(33:41):
him after the primary. Now I'm officially the GOP nominee
for the House of Representatives. And it was then it
was District eight of Arizona. It was Congressional District eight.
All the lines have been redrawn. It was Tucson, Tucson
Sierra Vista, the southeast corner of Arizona is where all
this took place. I win. I've spent all my money,

(34:03):
and now I have to take on the Democrat machine.
I have to take on Gabrielle Gifford's in the Democrat machine,
and she was famously an excellent fundraiser anyway. Democrats raise
a ton of money anyway, So it was an uphill battle.
Primary ends. No money comes in. My hardcore supporters, my

(34:24):
hardcore donors, they were of course there, but there aren't
enough of those. And I didn't know a bunch of
rich guys from a construction family. What do I know.
I don't know any of these people, and no money's
coming in. I'm completely lost by this again. I'm young
figuring out how all this works. I'm completely confused. I'm

(34:46):
the GOP nominee. I'm officially the nominee. Why is the
GOP not raising me money? Why are traditional GOP donors
not raising me money? In your area? Wherever you're listening
to the sound of my voice, there are donors. Depends
on the size of your area. Maybe there are ten

(35:07):
of them, maybe there are one hundred of them. It
really depends on where you are. But there are known
GOP mega donors in your area. They're the rich men
and women who can be counted on to write max
checks to any campaign when they're called upon. They're the
guys you bank the money ahead of time. They're the guys.

(35:31):
A GOP senator in my state, I'm using him as
an example. This does not take place here, and he's
not doing this, but in my state. I live in
the Houston area. Ted Cruz is someone I know, and
he's a senator from this state. I promise you Ted
Cruz has on his phone the ability to call or
group text one hundred people in the Houston area right

(35:52):
now and get me a MAX donation for my upcoming
congressional campaign. Don't get excited. I'm not running for congress.
But if I wasn't, if Ted wanted to, he could
do that. That's how every area works. There are some
people they're just banked on it, and I had There
was the same down in Tucson too, exact same in
my area. I finished the primary. I'm the nominee. Giffords

(36:13):
is crucifying me on television every day, telling old people
I'm going to take away their Medicare and Social Security.
I don't have any ads responding, and there's no money
coming in. It's gone. And that's when that's when I
found out how leadership works, the GOP leadership works, how

(36:33):
the favors work, how the money actually works. I've finished
this story. In just a moment. Before I finish that story,
let me do this. Speaking of money, you're trying to
save any right now. Look, if you're flushed with cash,
this probably doesn't apply to you unless you just feel
like funding dirty comedies. But if you're trying to save
some money, you should switch your cell phone service to

(36:55):
Pure Talk. Pure Talk has a million benefits. One, it's
not Verizon at and to your T Mobile. Those are
horrible companies they hate you. So that's one, but two,
Pure Talk saves you money. You know why those cell phones,
those cell phone companies are so expensive because they have

(37:15):
a new store on every single street corner. Puretalk cuts
that out. You handle it all by phone and mail
and your bill. My bill got cut in half when
I switched to T Mobile. Do you want to save
money right now? Don't we all need to save money
right now? Pure Talk's how you do that. Keep your
phone too, keep your number. It's not like it's any
trouble to you at all. It's a phone call. Dial

(37:37):
pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound two
five zero, say Jesse Kelly. That'll save you even more.
That saves you fifty percent off your first month. All right,
I'll continue my story next
