Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. You are listening to
the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am a talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona
and Tucson, Arizona. That could be heard on five fifty KFYI,
seven ninety K This to You or the free I
Heart Radio app of my friends. The Democrats took a drumming.
They didn't see this coming. They did not see this coming.
(00:41):
I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I did.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I predicted that this was going to happen. But you
have to understand. I'm a Packer fan, so at the
beginning of every year, I say we're going to win
the Super Bowl, and then every once in a while
we do. And I'm a savant, but on this one,
I believe that Trump was doing something different. I believe
that he had tapped a vain. I didn't believe that
(01:09):
America was that far gone. I mean, it was dangerously close.
But the the Democrats did too much. The Democrats damaged
us throughout COVID. The Democrats passed that ridiculous Inflation Act,
which was basically the Green New Deal. The Democrats, you know,
(01:33):
messed up Afghanistan and opened us up to what what
Russia invading Ukraine, Hamas attacking Israel October seventh. We've got tension,
you know over there, you know in Asia, Taiwan, North
Korea's acting up again. All of this was because we
(01:54):
had weakness. It wasn't just weakness. It's worse than that.
Our enemies looked at the White House and saw that
it was vacant, kind of like it is right now.
Who's running it. You got Kamala Harris running out talking
about recipes. She's not in the White House. And the
Bidens hate Kamala Harris. They've been, you know, dissing her
(02:18):
since the election. Everybody knows that Joe Biden's not calling
the shots. He still can. Reid was on the teleprompter occasionally.
So Democrats have a very rude wake up call. And
unlike times in the past, I mean, something about this
election has broken them. And you know what really broke
(02:39):
them the hunter Biden parted because you had you had Biden,
not this. I'm not going to do it. I'm not
gonna do it. Oh, this man, he he loves our democracy.
This man puts the rule of law above his own
son and then Bam pardons and that was a wake
(03:04):
up call for a lot of Democrats. You know, you've
got Charlemagne to God. Charlemagne God. He is huge in
a talk show. He has Black talk show, The Breakfast Club.
He is the new Al Sharp and everybody has to
go through him to kiss the ring in order to
(03:27):
get the blessings. I guess for the black community, this
whole pardon things got to Charlemagne the God. Royaled he
weighed in on the preempt of a pardons.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He, my friends, is not a fan.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't think President Biden should do preemptive pardons either
makes people look guilty. If you ask me, Biden should
be pardoning all the non violent drug offenders in federal prison.
He should be partnering everybody in federal prison for non
violent weed convictions. Okay, he should be pardoning Maryland Moseby.
Those are the partons he should be working on. He
get his old ass about.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Preemptive Like you know this people that Trump are going
to be attacking, right, Notice people that that that, and
when it's Trump that that that tried to get him locked.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Up, you know he's gonna go with them.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But why would I be pardoning you if you don't
have any crimes connected to you, don't that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Make you look guilty. I give you a preemptive parton
know and.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It means that we know who Trump is and we
know I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Could mean Trump knows something that we don't know. And
that's why he's going after these people. Why you would
give somebody a preemptive pardon Like it just feels like
you're saying, Okay, I know this person is guilty as.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Something, and Trump may go after them.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Because he said for the last couple of years he's
going to be going at them.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But I can't just go at you for no reason,
Tom Trump, I mean, I just seem scrange to do
preemptive partons, all right, But well I stayed aay, I
try to stay at the white peoples business.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Right, Charlotte, May you know what, he's not woke. He's
waking up, but he's no longer woke. He's no longer woke. Well,
this is Donald Trump, so he's just goring at the people.
Or maybe he has a reason too. There's another a
(05:08):
liberal laut or. Her name is Anna Caspier and I
believe pronounced her last name. She's over there on the
Young Turks. The Young Turks have had an awaken They
have Casparian, that's her name. She was on, Anna Casparian.
She was on with Pierce Morgan and this woman, she
(05:30):
is wide awake, no longer woke. She has kicked the
Democrat Party to the curb.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
When I look at my life right now and I
ask myself which political party has made my life worse,
it's not the Republican Party. Locally speaking, the Democrats have
complete control and they have nearly destroyed my family's livelihood. Okay,
we are living in trash and squalor everywhere. And unless
the Democratic Party actually acknowledge these issues and solve these
(06:02):
issues rather than stealing our taxpayer money and funneling it
to their nonprofit friends, they keep doing this, they're gonna
keep losing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Sid Yeah, I don't think you understand. I don't think
you understand what you're hearing here. This young lady has
been woly left, I mean wildly left, disturbingly left. She
and all of the cats over there on your on
the show, the Young.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Dougs, they are uber.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Lefties, Anna Casparian. She has had an awakening. She sees
this look at what she's talking about. She's calling out
how the Democrats are continuing to steal from the tax
paying citizens of this country as they're watching the cities
around them get absolutely dilapidated. I gotta tell you, I
(06:54):
traveled overseas recently came home and I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, the subway system in this country pristine.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No graffiti, and the people riding the train, all dressed normal,
going to about their business. Very helpful. I couldn't speak
the language. They helped me get to where I have
to get. And I'm looking at what's going on in
New York City, I'm looking at what's going on in Chicago,
Los Angeles. What in the world Democrats, that's what Democrat
(07:28):
and Democrat policies. You even had Daniel Penny and what
but Democrat policies put him and the young man who's
life lost their life in the Choco. That's Democrat policy
that put them in this situation. Yeah, this young Turk
is awake and she's calling out those Democrat policies, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Gonna keep speaking out against them. I don't care how
much they hate Trump. I don't care how naughty the
Republicans are being right now. The people having a negative
impact on my life is the Democratic Party, and they
need to change their ways. Oh, we say we want
to change the status quo. No, it doesn't mean we
want to live in anarchy. It doesn't mean that we
want to have twenty four billion dollars of our taxpayer
(08:11):
money in California stolen by these nonprofits. It means that
we want working people to be rewarded for their hard work.
We want affordable housing, we want better working conditions, higher wages,
better healthcare. These are things that Democrats used to purport
to want to do.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
They don't do any of it anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
And so I'm done with them until they change their ways.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, oh my, let you understand it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Understand too, I understand. Hold on, sec, I just letm
grab this tissue over here.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I just got it. I'm just missing up a bit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Ah, I could work with you. I can work with you. No,
we don't see eye to eye on a lot. But
you now see the light when it comes to Democrats
and their policy. You see how they've been stealing from
the American people. You see how they have literally been
lining their own pockets and leaving cities dilapidated not helping
(09:08):
out the little guy. You see now how they look
at the people who live in the country.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, rule.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Folks is as rubes, as white supremacists. You see all that. Now,
you carried that water for a while. I'm not mad
at you because when it was exposed, you no longer
went that way. You turned on a dime. It's incredible.
(09:38):
And there's more Democrats out there that are that are
I've seeing the light. I'm talking all beside Elon Musk,
besides Tulci Gabbard, besides Rfk Junior. The Democrat Party and
their leadership was so horribly bad that they may have
(10:04):
lost the whole generation maybe two. You've got, you know,
the folks on college universities out men, they're still brainwashed,
but boy, they're they're waking up fast, I should say,
being exposed. You have more college students vote for Trump
in this last election, in college students voting generally. But
(10:28):
there's one Democrat out there who has done a complete
one eighty. Maybe I shouldn't say a one eighty, more
like a one sixty. He was trying to do this before,
but he was blocked. But now he has been set
free and he's exposing the hypocrisy and the damage of
(10:52):
Biden Harris open borders. We are going to talk about
Mayor Eric Adams. Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
James C. Harris sit again for The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Get the Cure for Rhinos eight Days with The Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
James T.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Harris cit again for The Jesse Kelly Show. I'm an
talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona. Could be heard
in Tucson, Arizona, my adoptive hometown on five P fifty
KMFYI seven ninety Kynesty, the free iHeartRadio app. You can
also follow me on x AT. James T. Harris Win
Mayor Eric Adams was first elected. I was like, you
(11:34):
know what, I kind of want to like this guy,
former police officer came in while he was a police officer.
He was a registered Republican in New York City, an
American of African descent. Stop it yeah, and he was
trying to, you know, I think, be conservative. He said
(11:56):
some things then you would turn around and say something
that's kind of crazy. You're like, oh, okay, okay. And
then all of a sudden we started to have the
open border crisis start to impact our cities. And then
you had a governor Greg Abbott of Texas. You had
a Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, and you had the
(12:16):
governor Deucey of Arizona. They began to ship illegals to
the Blue States, to DC, to New York City, to Chicago,
Martha's Vineyard. They just stayed very long in Martha's vineyard.
Remember they got up and out of there. Oh oh
oh no, no, no, no, bye bye. I am telling
(12:42):
you that was a stroke of genius. It truly was.
It exposed the hypocrisy on the left. Oh, we're a
sanctuary city. All all are welcome here. Wait a minute, hold.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On, whoa, whoa? Too many? Now?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You had the mayor of Chicago, that would be Brandon Johnson.
You had the mayor of Denver, forgot his name. But
these cats, you know, they went along with the program.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
We need more money.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
We have to sacrifice your homes, we have to sacrifice
your schools. We have to use the budgets to help
the newcomers. The newcomers. All right, at first mirror Eric Animals,
he wasn't having it. He's like, whoa, wait a minute's
too many people? Y'all need to go back. You had
(13:38):
Governor Hocal up there in New York talking about, oh,
we could use them. I have a special job for
Venezuelan's up and Upper New York. They can serve chicken wings.
She said that I didn't make that up. She said that.
And then all of a sudden you had James Carville,
you know, the strategists, you know, and come on TV
and he was bashing Mayor Adams. You can't have a
(14:02):
black mayor out there, you know, contradicting the President of
the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They need to have this conversation in private. He said that.
I was another saying, really, uh, isn't it that, James Carvevil.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I know people don't really accuse you of being a
racist very often, but those statements right there are very
very concerning in a matter. Then all of a sudden,
Trump says, if you keep that up, Eric Adams, you're
gonna get an indictment.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Boom, he gets an indictment. Why because he bucked the system.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Why because he was saying, we can't afford this, we
can't afford this, We can't afford to be giving you know,
billions of dollars, you know, to siphoning it off from
our other budgets to cover these people. That's the we
can't do that. He got slapped back hard. But the
minute tru won the election, you saw a brand new
Eric Adams. The very next day he canceled the very
(15:07):
expensive food program going on out there, and Eric Adams
started talking common sense, and I think it was yesterday
he said something that no Democrat has ever said. He
told the truth about the missing children in this country.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
We have five hundred thousand children who had sponsors in
this country that we can't find.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We can't find them.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
We don't know if they're doing child labor, we don't
know if they're doing sex crimes, or we don't know
if they're being exploited. Of five hundred thousand children, there's
a level of hypocrisy that everyone in the States they
want to protect everyone but innocent individuals or victims of
crimes and children. I want to suspect, support and protect
children and innocent people that are victims of crime. And
(15:56):
those who don't understand that shot up to me to
try to come. I know what my job is, my
goal is and I was clear of that while running
and when I became mayor.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Safety means everything to me.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Five hundred thousand children we don't know where they are
right now in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Think about that, five hundred thousand children missing in the
United States of America, missing because of Biden Harris's open
border policies that have emboldened the cartels to be involved
(16:36):
in drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex, slavery for children. Hold on, now,
you mean to tell me that the American government is
complicit with human chattel. Yes, it doesn't surprise me that
(16:58):
that's happening under a Democrat administration. I mean, Democrats is
the party of slavery. But look at what Mayor Eric
Adams is doing. He's exposing that he's no longer shackled.
He's been released, and I'm telling you that's gonna free
(17:19):
up a lot of other Democrats as well. I don't
know if you still watch cn AND, but if you do,
there is one gym on that show.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
His name is Scott Jennings. He doesn't take anything from
the Left as a matter of fact, he gives it.
And he's going to be a guest on the Jesse
Kelly Show coming up next.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's still real to me, dammit turns docks. Welcome to
the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris.
I am a talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona.
Also can be heard in Tucson. Happy to be sitting
in for Jesse Kelly Today. Now, it's virtually impossible to
scroll through Twitter without coming across multiple tweets about something
(18:05):
happening on CNN and One of CNN's contributors, Scott Jennings,
is a political strategist writer. He worked in the George W.
Bush administration. Is an opinion contributor for CNN, USA Today
and the Los Angeles Times, and he is joining us
in the Center Ring Today to explain how he does
what he does. Scott, you take on the biggest issues.
It's usually two or three or four against one, and
(18:28):
you get the point across with love in your heart.
But it absolutely shuts down the opposition or makes them
go berserk.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do you ever find yourself in over your head?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
No?
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Well, first of all, thanks for having me on you. No,
I don't think I'm in over my head. I mean,
you know, four or five against one seems like a
fair fight to me.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I mean, of these most of these issues of the day.
I think the conservative point of view.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
You know, we you know we're right, and my job
is to represent what I think ass the country is
thinking about, you know, these issues of the day. And
there's more than enough people on TV who are willing
to represent the liberal point of view. But I'm willing
to come on and talk talk to conservative point of
view and honestly do it with a smile because I
sort of believe in being a happy warrior when it
comes to politics, and that's the attitude I'm trying to convey.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well, that comes across really clear, and I think part
of the reason why a CNI still has an audience
is people really day tuned in to the hot topic
of the day. See how you're going to handle this,
and some of the things that are thrown at you,
you know, from a conservative point of view, are completely
off the wall. I want to ask you your pundits.
The pundits are going against do they really believe what
(19:34):
they're saying?
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Well? Do?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
And I should point out some of the people I'm on.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
TV with do not work for CNN, you know their guests.
I've been on with people lately who have said some
objectively crazy things and you know, you've sort.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Of got to figure out how to handle it on
the fly.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
But what I've learned is some of these folks actually
live in this alternate reality, sort of this dystopian fan
fiction reality, for it exists only in a mind, and
then they bring.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It to television. When you realize they do believe this,
it's of course it's not real. It's not you know,
what's actually happening in.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
The real world, but in their mind, in their bubble
and the information bubble in which they live, they have
formulated this crazy idea. And I would say most of
the people who are CNN contributors are very reasonable people.
And I should also point out I think it's great, honestly,
that's CNN, especially on the ten o'clock show, which I'm
on a lot of knights, is hosting these debates because
I think having conservatives and liberals debate issues around a
(20:27):
table and look each other in the eye is a
vital public service.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think it's a public service as well, and it's
the old form of debates. Sometimes it gets wild and willy,
but that's how most conversations are, you know, with people
out here, you know, in the hinderland What does this
say though, where we live in a world where Donald
Trump gets elected in a landslide, the shooter of a
healthcare industry ceo is a hero and a man like
Daniel Penny is is the bad guy.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Well, and that's certainly something I've heard on television, people
sort of expressing admiration for the person who shot the
healthcare ceo, people expressing disdain for Daniel Penny. I made
a chart on TV the other night. It was very
simple chart. It just said, here is the good guy,
Daniel Penny. Here is the bad guy Luigi, because it
seemed like people on the left were having a hard
(21:13):
time telling the difference. But I think, honestly, that's kind
of a hallmark of the left over the last several months,
last several years. They can't tell the good guys from
the bad guys. Look, well, what we've been dealing with
on the war in the Middle East. I mean, there's
a whole bunch of Democrats and people on the left
who somehow got it in their mind it Israel is
the bad.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Guy in all of this.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
And I think this inability to tell right from wrong
and good from bad is one of the things, honestly,
that led to Donald Trump winning. Donald Trump sort of
ran on what most of us would say is common sense,
and I think the Democrats were kind of stuck in
this loop of uncommon nonsense and it made the difference
in the election.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Frankly, we have Scott Jennings in the center ring.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He is a seat and contributor, one of the major
reasons why you should be tuning in to see and
then Scott. Today, Time Magazine made a president of like
Donald Trump, the person of the Year. They really were
back into it. They didn't have a choice. The man
has dominated the news. But how do you think this
is going to hit the debate tonight?
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Well, we'll probably talk about it on TV tonight. I mean,
my take is there is no other choice. I mean,
the only other person.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
Who's even remotely close would be Elon Musk, who does
amazing things. But of course Donald Trump sits at the
top of everything right now politically, culturally, and Elon Musk
has kind of folded in underneath him at the moment.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
So Trump was the clear choice. He is the man
of the year.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I mean, frankly, he is the politician of the century
right now. It's the greatest comeback in American political history.
And one of the great things that all of this
has exposed is that Donald Trump is kind of the
breaker of narratives. He's sort of the breaker of the
political information distribution complex that often feeds you narratives but
not necessarily the truth or the facts. And I love
(22:52):
it that the mainstream media, like Time magazine, has to admit, yes,
Donald Trump is the man of the year. And you
saw a bunch of business leaders today with Donald Trump.
You saw a bunch of people on the floor of
the Stock Exchange applauding Donald Trump. The truth is, there's
a bunch of people in this country who are relieved,
relieved that we are done with Biden and Harris and
we have Trump back. They're relieved because they saw how
(23:14):
far off the rails the country had gotten, and now
they're hoping Trump can put it back on track.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Speaking of someone who I think is relieved, there's another
contributor on CNN that I absolutely love, and that's Van Jones.
Van Jones not because I don't necessarily love his worldview.
I don't love his politics, but I love the fact
that he usually throws people.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Off because he's honest.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I mean, really, he really is honest, and when you
two are on together, I think that America is gifted
with the opportunity to see what a thinking person on
the left really really believes and what a thinking person
on the right believes.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Van Jones is one of the best people I've met
in television.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
I consider him to be my brother. We do a
lot of TV together. And you said it. He is
an honest man, and he's an honest liberal, and he
doesn't shy away from his views.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
But he will not lie, he will not mislead you.
He'll tell you exactly.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
What's on his mind and what's on his heart. And
he has no fear whatsoever about calling out the excesses
of the left because he's smart. He knows when the
left is engaging in rhetoric and tactics that is actually
hurting their side of the argument. I mean, he knew,
I think all during the election, virtually every time Kamala
Harris was doing something that was hurting her campaign. He's
told a lot of hard truths to people on the left,
(24:28):
and he takes a lot of grief for it. But
I have a lot of admiration for Van. He's willing
to be an honest broker of political information. And to me,
that's what you should be looking for out there in
your commentary. Who's being honest with you and being honest
sometimes mean saying things that make your own side a
little uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, Scott, I did an interview on CNN and
back in two thousand and eight, I would think believe
I was the first live walk off of an interview
and I've out never to go back. And I used
to make fun of conservatives who go on CNN, but
not in your case, sir.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I mean, you're one of my heroes.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You go on and you represent magnation America first policies,
you represent the conservative ideology in a way that I
think is very appealing to a lot of people. So
I just want to have you on to at least
say thank you for making CNN watchable.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, you're very kind and I'm very proud to be
part of the network. And I think CNN is doing
something that a lot of folks just don't do right now,
and that's try to engineer actual debates between conservatives and liberals,
between Republicans and Democrats. I think one of the biggest
problems we have in our country. Is that a lot
of folks, particularly on the left, getting these information bubbles
(25:35):
and they're never presented with what the reality of a
situation is.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
And CNN, I think is allowing me and.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Others to get inside that bubble and really present both
sides of arguments. And I think when conservatives are allowed
to do that, it makes a difference because people will
learn about things they didn't know about, they'll see things
in a different way. And I'm more than honored to
carry that torch for you know, what I think is
a viewpoint of half or more than half the country,
and I appreciate you saying it.

The reason why I like it because he's honest. In
twenty twenty when when Biden and won the election, I
do that thing with my fingers.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
One.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, Vanjolon's on TV crying.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
No, I can finally tell my friends, my Muslim friends,
that it's gonna be safe for them again. Okay man,
Okay again. This election has really rung a bell it
You've got thinking Democrats having to come to terms that
(27:33):
they didn't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
They had to come to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Terms that Trump didn't know what he was talking about. Look,
had nothing to do with this red tsunami that swept
across the country. You know, Republicans are still, even after
the win, afraid to say that it was a tsunami
because you were promised to sue tsunami. You know, in
(27:56):
twenty twenty twenty twenty two didn't happen. That's because Trump
wasn't running in twenty twenty two. Trump said we had
to beat that cheat, and so you had Republicans change
their behavior. Raise your hand out there to Jesse Kelly audience,
if you.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Were an early voter, yup. See just look around. See.
But that's not all Trump did. You know.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
On my home station KYI in Phoenix, I'm like, you
know what, I don't see a lot of people door knocking.
I see Democrats door knocking day and they come to
my house all times of the night, leaving little pamphlets
and stuff like that. Stuff in the mail. I didn't
get a whole lot of stuff in the mail for Trump.
I didn't get a lot of door knocking. I don't
the guy one at all. I got a few texts,
(28:47):
But I told my audience, don't freak out. Trump has
tapped the vein. And you began you started to see
that when he was doing all these interviews, and you
were noticing that that Kamala Harris wasn't doing any they
had to keep her locked up. But then the places
that he was going, the interviews he was conducting mainstream
(29:08):
media wasn't on it immediately, but they started to find
out through social media. Van Jones had an epiphanty he
on a I don't know whether it was succeeding or what,
but he said, hey, you know what, Uh, we need
(29:28):
to understand something here. The digital is the new door
knocking in.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
The Philly suburbs. And I'm telling you we are way off.
The entire political class is way off. First of all,
digital is a new door knocking. You got to understand that.
We were laughing our butts off at Donald Trump for
suspending his door knocking campaign and letting Charlie Kirk and
Elon do a bunch of stuff online. We said, these
(29:57):
guys are idiots, these guys are stupid. Then you startknocking
on these doors.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You know, people come the door.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
With their phone in their hand. They're in a twenty
four hour digital surround sound that has nothing to do
with CNN, has nothing to do with any stuff that
we do.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I asked myself.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
I got a teenage son. I asked him, who are
the most influential people in the world today. I'm thinking
to myself, he's gonna say Barack Obama, Oprah Winfree Jay Z.
He says Kai sent Aiden, Ross, Jinxy and Sketch.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I don't know who he's talking about. I don't know either.
I don't know these people.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I think I heard of Kai something only because once
the Hairs campaign found out what they were doing, they
went to Kai and they tried to bribe him into
doing a stream with the Kamala Harris. They want to
pay him like fifty or one hundred thousand dollars. Then
he literally wigged out. He said, why is the Secret
(30:58):
Service coming? Why is this happening. I'm not in the politics.
Stay away from me. That's how I knew about Kay.
Those other people I never I don't know who they are,
but Trump did.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Van Jones I said, what what what platforms you are?
He goes, I'm on Twitch, kick and rumble. I said
that sounds like you need to go to the hospital.
What are these platforms? I'm telling you guys, the mainstream
has become fringe and the French has become mainstream.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
There are platforms. There are people out there that are.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Getting fourteen million streams, and we're on cable News getting
one or two million maybe, And so there is a
whole world out there. Kelly and Conway I hate to
agree with her, but I do a lot of times.
Donald Trump understood that and we didn't. And that's not
just Democrats do. The entire political class is way off,
way off, way off.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Van Jones way again. He's absolutely one percent. I know
what rumble is this twitch kick.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
My producer, my young I call him Young Hayden. My
producer is out of college. He's in his almost mid twenties.
Young Hayden. Young Hayden knew all of these people, was
able to describe to my audience what they talk, what
they stream about.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Are they political?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
No, They talk about gaming, they take talk about sports,
They talk about pretty much everything but politics, Bud. You
know what, Maybe it's because Baron Trump is of this age.
Maybe Barron was the lead advisor of what his father,
what platforms he could go on. But Trump went on
all of them and won over a generation.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I know what rumble is.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Notice didn't say Facebook, didn't say TikTok, didn't say Instagram,
didn't say YouTube. Trump tapped into a whole new universe.
And that doesn't mean that what we do here on
talk radio isn't important.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
But the Trump campaign has opened their eyes that there
are lots of avenues and you know what, the younger folks,
they're out there and they can be interested, but you
gotta find them on their platforms. Van Jones was brutally
honest about that.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Brutally.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's one of the reasons why I like him. He
wasn't out there, you know, just you know, faking the funk.
They got destroyed. Kelly and Conway was on that same
stage with him, and she was like, you know, she
spoke first. That's why he said, I can't disagree with her.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I'm you know.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Charlie Kirker, Charlie kirk is here in the Arizona in
Phoenix with Turning point us say. He's a friend, he's
been friends for a couple of years. I called him
up at the election. I said, I just want to
be honest with you. I want to thank you for
your part in Steven the Republic. It's very humble. No man, no, no,
Charlie stopped. Charlie sh thank you for your part because
(34:15):
you did the heavy lifting. You and your crew were
on these college campuses, you mobilized them, you were on
these platforms. It's amazing what we're watching. It's amazing Coming
up next, we're going to talk about the.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Times person of the Year, James T. Haerras sit again
for the Jesse Kelly Show.
This is a Jesse Kelly show. You are listening to
the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am a talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona
and Tucson, Arizona. That could be heard on five fifty KFYI,
seven ninety K This to You or the free I
Heart Radio app of my friends. The Democrats took a drumming.
They didn't see this coming. They did not see this coming.
(00:41):
I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I did.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I predicted that this was going to happen. But you
have to understand. I'm a Packer fan, so at the
beginning of every year, I say we're going to win
the Super Bowl, and then every once in a while
we do. And I'm a savant, but on this one,
I believe that Trump was doing something different. I believe
that he had tapped a vain. I didn't believe that
(01:09):
America was that far gone. I mean, it was dangerously close.
But the the Democrats did too much. The Democrats damaged
us throughout COVID. The Democrats passed that ridiculous Inflation Act,
which was basically the Green New Deal. The Democrats, you know,
(01:33):
messed up Afghanistan and opened us up to what what
Russia invading Ukraine, Hamas attacking Israel October seventh. We've got tension,
you know over there, you know in Asia, Taiwan, North
Korea's acting up again. All of this was because we
(01:54):
had weakness. It wasn't just weakness. It's worse than that.
Our enemies looked at the White House and saw that
it was vacant, kind of like it is right now.
Who's running it. You got Kamala Harris running out talking
about recipes. She's not in the White House. And the
Bidens hate Kamala Harris. They've been, you know, dissing her
(02:18):
since the election. Everybody knows that Joe Biden's not calling
the shots. He still can. Reid was on the teleprompter occasionally.
So Democrats have a very rude wake up call. And
unlike times in the past, I mean, something about this
election has broken them. And you know what really broke
(02:39):
them the hunter Biden parted because you had you had Biden,
not this. I'm not going to do it. I'm not
gonna do it. Oh, this man, he he loves our democracy.
This man puts the rule of law above his own
son and then Bam pardons and that was a wake
(03:04):
up call for a lot of Democrats. You know, you've
got Charlemagne to God. Charlemagne God. He is huge in
a talk show. He has Black talk show, The Breakfast Club.
He is the new Al Sharp and everybody has to
go through him to kiss the ring in order to
(03:27):
get the blessings. I guess for the black community, this
whole pardon things got to Charlemagne the God. Royaled he
weighed in on the preempt of a pardons.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
He, my friends, is not a fan.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I don't think President Biden should do preemptive pardons either
makes people look guilty. If you ask me, Biden should
be pardoning all the non violent drug offenders in federal prison.
He should be partnering everybody in federal prison for non
violent weed convictions. Okay, he should be pardoning Maryland Moseby.
Those are the partons he should be working on. He
get his old ass about.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Preemptive Like you know this people that Trump are going
to be attacking, right, Notice people that that that, and
when it's Trump that that that tried to get him locked.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Up, you know he's gonna go with them.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But why would I be pardoning you if you don't
have any crimes connected to you, don't that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Make you look guilty. I give you a preemptive parton
know and.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It means that we know who Trump is and we
know I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Could mean Trump knows something that we don't know. And
that's why he's going after these people. Why you would
give somebody a preemptive pardon Like it just feels like
you're saying, Okay, I know this person is guilty as.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Something, and Trump may go after them.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Because he said for the last couple of years he's
going to be going at them.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But I can't just go at you for no reason,
Tom Trump, I mean, I just seem scrange to do
preemptive partons, all right, But well I stayed aay, I
try to stay at the white peoples business.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Right, Charlotte, May you know what, he's not woke. He's
waking up, but he's no longer woke. He's no longer woke. Well,
this is Donald Trump, so he's just goring at the people.
Or maybe he has a reason too. There's another a
(05:08):
liberal laut or. Her name is Anna Caspier and I
believe pronounced her last name. She's over there on the
Young Turks. The Young Turks have had an awaken They
have Casparian, that's her name. She was on, Anna Casparian.
She was on with Pierce Morgan and this woman, she
(05:30):
is wide awake, no longer woke. She has kicked the
Democrat Party to the curb.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
When I look at my life right now and I
ask myself which political party has made my life worse,
it's not the Republican Party. Locally speaking, the Democrats have
complete control and they have nearly destroyed my family's livelihood. Okay,
we are living in trash and squalor everywhere. And unless
the Democratic Party actually acknowledge these issues and solve these
(06:02):
issues rather than stealing our taxpayer money and funneling it
to their nonprofit friends, they keep doing this, they're gonna
keep losing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Sid Yeah, I don't think you understand. I don't think
you understand what you're hearing here. This young lady has
been woly left, I mean wildly left, disturbingly left. She
and all of the cats over there on your on
the show, the Young.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Dougs, they are uber.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Lefties, Anna Casparian. She has had an awakening. She sees
this look at what she's talking about. She's calling out
how the Democrats are continuing to steal from the tax
paying citizens of this country as they're watching the cities
around them get absolutely dilapidated. I gotta tell you, I
(06:54):
traveled overseas recently came home and I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, the subway system in this country pristine.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No graffiti, and the people riding the train, all dressed normal,
going to about their business. Very helpful. I couldn't speak
the language. They helped me get to where I have
to get. And I'm looking at what's going on in
New York City, I'm looking at what's going on in Chicago,
Los Angeles. What in the world Democrats, that's what Democrat
(07:28):
and Democrat policies. You even had Daniel Penny and what
but Democrat policies put him and the young man who's
life lost their life in the Choco. That's Democrat policy
that put them in this situation. Yeah, this young Turk
is awake and she's calling out those Democrat policies, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Gonna keep speaking out against them. I don't care how
much they hate Trump. I don't care how naughty the
Republicans are being right now. The people having a negative
impact on my life is the Democratic Party, and they
need to change their ways. Oh, we say we want
to change the status quo. No, it doesn't mean we
want to live in anarchy. It doesn't mean that we
want to have twenty four billion dollars of our taxpayer
(08:11):
money in California stolen by these nonprofits. It means that
we want working people to be rewarded for their hard work.
We want affordable housing, we want better working conditions, higher wages,
better healthcare. These are things that Democrats used to purport
to want to do.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
They don't do any of it anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
And so I'm done with them until they change their ways.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, oh my, let you understand it.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Understand too, I understand. Hold on, sec, I just letm
grab this tissue over here.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I just got it. I'm just missing up a bit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Ah, I could work with you. I can work with you. No,
we don't see eye to eye on a lot. But
you now see the light when it comes to Democrats
and their policy. You see how they've been stealing from
the American people. You see how they have literally been
lining their own pockets and leaving cities dilapidated not helping
(09:08):
out the little guy. You see now how they look
at the people who live in the country.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, rule.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Folks is as rubes, as white supremacists. You see all that. Now,
you carried that water for a while. I'm not mad
at you because when it was exposed, you no longer
went that way. You turned on a dime. It's incredible.
(09:38):
And there's more Democrats out there that are that are
I've seeing the light. I'm talking all beside Elon Musk,
besides Tulci Gabbard, besides Rfk Junior. The Democrat Party and
their leadership was so horribly bad that they may have
(10:04):
lost the whole generation maybe two. You've got, you know,
the folks on college universities out men, they're still brainwashed,
but boy, they're they're waking up fast, I should say,
being exposed. You have more college students vote for Trump
in this last election, in college students voting generally. But
(10:28):
there's one Democrat out there who has done a complete
one eighty. Maybe I shouldn't say a one eighty, more
like a one sixty. He was trying to do this before,
but he was blocked. But now he has been set
free and he's exposing the hypocrisy and the damage of
(10:52):
Biden Harris open borders. We are going to talk about
Mayor Eric Adams. Coming up next.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
James C. Harris sit again for The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Get the Cure for Rhinos eight Days with The Jesse
Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
James T.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Harris cit again for The Jesse Kelly Show. I'm an
talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona. Could be heard
in Tucson, Arizona, my adoptive hometown on five P fifty
KMFYI seven ninety Kynesty, the free iHeartRadio app. You can
also follow me on x AT. James T. Harris Win
Mayor Eric Adams was first elected. I was like, you
(11:34):
know what, I kind of want to like this guy,
former police officer came in while he was a police officer.
He was a registered Republican in New York City, an
American of African descent. Stop it yeah, and he was
trying to, you know, I think, be conservative. He said
(11:56):
some things then you would turn around and say something
that's kind of crazy. You're like, oh, okay, okay. And
then all of a sudden we started to have the
open border crisis start to impact our cities. And then
you had a governor Greg Abbott of Texas. You had
a Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, and you had the
(12:16):
governor Deucey of Arizona. They began to ship illegals to
the Blue States, to DC, to New York City, to Chicago,
Martha's Vineyard. They just stayed very long in Martha's vineyard.
Remember they got up and out of there. Oh oh
oh no, no, no, no, bye bye. I am telling
(12:42):
you that was a stroke of genius. It truly was.
It exposed the hypocrisy on the left. Oh, we're a
sanctuary city. All all are welcome here. Wait a minute, hold.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On, whoa, whoa? Too many? Now?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You had the mayor of Chicago, that would be Brandon Johnson.
You had the mayor of Denver, forgot his name. But
these cats, you know, they went along with the program.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
We need more money.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
We have to sacrifice your homes, we have to sacrifice
your schools. We have to use the budgets to help
the newcomers. The newcomers. All right, at first mirror Eric Animals,
he wasn't having it. He's like, whoa, wait a minute's
too many people? Y'all need to go back. You had
(13:38):
Governor Hocal up there in New York talking about, oh,
we could use them. I have a special job for
Venezuelan's up and Upper New York. They can serve chicken wings.
She said that I didn't make that up. She said that.
And then all of a sudden you had James Carville,
you know, the strategists, you know, and come on TV
and he was bashing Mayor Adams. You can't have a
(14:02):
black mayor out there, you know, contradicting the President of
the United States.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They need to have this conversation in private. He said that.
I was another saying, really, uh, isn't it that, James Carvevil.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I know people don't really accuse you of being a
racist very often, but those statements right there are very
very concerning in a matter. Then all of a sudden,
Trump says, if you keep that up, Eric Adams, you're
gonna get an indictment.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Boom, he gets an indictment. Why because he bucked the system.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Why because he was saying, we can't afford this, we
can't afford this, We can't afford to be giving you know,
billions of dollars, you know, to siphoning it off from
our other budgets to cover these people. That's the we
can't do that. He got slapped back hard. But the
minute tru won the election, you saw a brand new
Eric Adams. The very next day he canceled the very
(15:07):
expensive food program going on out there, and Eric Adams
started talking common sense, and I think it was yesterday
he said something that no Democrat has ever said. He
told the truth about the missing children in this country.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
We have five hundred thousand children who had sponsors in
this country that we can't find.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We can't find them.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
We don't know if they're doing child labor, we don't
know if they're doing sex crimes, or we don't know
if they're being exploited. Of five hundred thousand children, there's
a level of hypocrisy that everyone in the States they
want to protect everyone but innocent individuals or victims of
crimes and children. I want to suspect, support and protect
children and innocent people that are victims of crime. And
(15:56):
those who don't understand that shot up to me to
try to come. I know what my job is, my
goal is and I was clear of that while running
and when I became mayor.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Safety means everything to me.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Five hundred thousand children we don't know where they are
right now in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Think about that, five hundred thousand children missing in the
United States of America, missing because of Biden Harris's open
border policies that have emboldened the cartels to be involved
(16:36):
in drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex, slavery for children. Hold on, now,
you mean to tell me that the American government is
complicit with human chattel. Yes, it doesn't surprise me that
(16:58):
that's happening under a Democrat administration. I mean, Democrats is
the party of slavery. But look at what Mayor Eric
Adams is doing. He's exposing that he's no longer shackled.
He's been released, and I'm telling you that's gonna free
(17:19):
up a lot of other Democrats as well. I don't
know if you still watch cn AND, but if you do,
there is one gym on that show.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
His name is Scott Jennings. He doesn't take anything from
the Left as a matter of fact, he gives it.
And he's going to be a guest on the Jesse
Kelly Show coming up next.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's still real to me, dammit turns docks. Welcome to
the Jesse Kelly Show. My name is James T. Harris.
I am a talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona.
Also can be heard in Tucson. Happy to be sitting
in for Jesse Kelly Today. Now, it's virtually impossible to
scroll through Twitter without coming across multiple tweets about something
(18:05):
happening on CNN and One of CNN's contributors, Scott Jennings,
is a political strategist writer. He worked in the George W.
Bush administration. Is an opinion contributor for CNN, USA Today
and the Los Angeles Times, and he is joining us
in the Center Ring Today to explain how he does
what he does. Scott, you take on the biggest issues.
It's usually two or three or four against one, and
(18:28):
you get the point across with love in your heart.
But it absolutely shuts down the opposition or makes them
go berserk.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do you ever find yourself in over your head?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
No?
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Well, first of all, thanks for having me on you. No,
I don't think I'm in over my head. I mean,
you know, four or five against one seems like a
fair fight to me.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I mean, of these most of these issues of the day.
I think the conservative point of view.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
You know, we you know we're right, and my job
is to represent what I think ass the country is
thinking about, you know, these issues of the day. And
there's more than enough people on TV who are willing
to represent the liberal point of view. But I'm willing
to come on and talk talk to conservative point of
view and honestly do it with a smile because I
sort of believe in being a happy warrior when it
comes to politics, and that's the attitude I'm trying to convey.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Well, that comes across really clear, and I think part
of the reason why a CNI still has an audience
is people really day tuned in to the hot topic
of the day. See how you're going to handle this,
and some of the things that are thrown at you,
you know, from a conservative point of view, are completely
off the wall. I want to ask you your pundits.
The pundits are going against do they really believe what
(19:34):
they're saying?
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Well? Do?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
And I should point out some of the people I'm on.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
TV with do not work for CNN, you know their guests.
I've been on with people lately who have said some
objectively crazy things and you know, you've sort.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Of got to figure out how to handle it on
the fly.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
But what I've learned is some of these folks actually
live in this alternate reality, sort of this dystopian fan
fiction reality, for it exists only in a mind, and
then they bring.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
It to television. When you realize they do believe this,
it's of course it's not real. It's not you know,
what's actually happening in.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
The real world, but in their mind, in their bubble
and the information bubble in which they live, they have
formulated this crazy idea. And I would say most of
the people who are CNN contributors are very reasonable people.
And I should also point out I think it's great, honestly,
that's CNN, especially on the ten o'clock show, which I'm
on a lot of knights, is hosting these debates because
I think having conservatives and liberals debate issues around a
(20:27):
table and look each other in the eye is a
vital public service.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think it's a public service as well, and it's
the old form of debates. Sometimes it gets wild and willy,
but that's how most conversations are, you know, with people
out here, you know, in the hinderland What does this
say though, where we live in a world where Donald
Trump gets elected in a landslide, the shooter of a
healthcare industry ceo is a hero and a man like
Daniel Penny is is the bad guy.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Well, and that's certainly something I've heard on television, people
sort of expressing admiration for the person who shot the
healthcare ceo, people expressing disdain for Daniel Penny. I made
a chart on TV the other night. It was very
simple chart. It just said, here is the good guy,
Daniel Penny. Here is the bad guy Luigi, because it
seemed like people on the left were having a hard
(21:13):
time telling the difference. But I think, honestly, that's kind
of a hallmark of the left over the last several months,
last several years. They can't tell the good guys from
the bad guys. Look, well, what we've been dealing with
on the war in the Middle East. I mean, there's
a whole bunch of Democrats and people on the left
who somehow got it in their mind it Israel is
the bad.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Guy in all of this.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
And I think this inability to tell right from wrong
and good from bad is one of the things, honestly,
that led to Donald Trump winning. Donald Trump sort of
ran on what most of us would say is common sense,
and I think the Democrats were kind of stuck in
this loop of uncommon nonsense and it made the difference
in the election.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Frankly, we have Scott Jennings in the center ring.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
He is a seat and contributor, one of the major
reasons why you should be tuning in to see and
then Scott. Today, Time Magazine made a president of like
Donald Trump, the person of the Year. They really were
back into it. They didn't have a choice. The man
has dominated the news. But how do you think this
is going to hit the debate tonight?
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Well, we'll probably talk about it on TV tonight. I mean,
my take is there is no other choice. I mean,
the only other person.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
Who's even remotely close would be Elon Musk, who does
amazing things. But of course Donald Trump sits at the
top of everything right now politically, culturally, and Elon Musk
has kind of folded in underneath him at the moment.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
So Trump was the clear choice. He is the man
of the year.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I mean, frankly, he is the politician of the century
right now. It's the greatest comeback in American political history.
And one of the great things that all of this
has exposed is that Donald Trump is kind of the
breaker of narratives. He's sort of the breaker of the
political information distribution complex that often feeds you narratives but
not necessarily the truth or the facts. And I love
(22:52):
it that the mainstream media, like Time magazine, has to admit, yes,
Donald Trump is the man of the year. And you
saw a bunch of business leaders today with Donald Trump.
You saw a bunch of people on the floor of
the Stock Exchange applauding Donald Trump. The truth is, there's
a bunch of people in this country who are relieved,
relieved that we are done with Biden and Harris and
we have Trump back. They're relieved because they saw how
(23:14):
far off the rails the country had gotten, and now
they're hoping Trump can put it back on track.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Speaking of someone who I think is relieved, there's another
contributor on CNN that I absolutely love, and that's Van Jones.
Van Jones not because I don't necessarily love his worldview.
I don't love his politics, but I love the fact
that he usually throws people.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Off because he's honest.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I mean, really, he really is honest, and when you
two are on together, I think that America is gifted
with the opportunity to see what a thinking person on
the left really really believes and what a thinking person
on the right believes.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Van Jones is one of the best people I've met
in television.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
I consider him to be my brother. We do a
lot of TV together. And you said it. He is
an honest man, and he's an honest liberal, and he
doesn't shy away from his views.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
But he will not lie, he will not mislead you.
He'll tell you exactly.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
What's on his mind and what's on his heart. And
he has no fear whatsoever about calling out the excesses
of the left because he's smart. He knows when the
left is engaging in rhetoric and tactics that is actually
hurting their side of the argument. I mean, he knew,
I think all during the election, virtually every time Kamala
Harris was doing something that was hurting her campaign. He's
told a lot of hard truths to people on the left,
(24:28):
and he takes a lot of grief for it. But
I have a lot of admiration for Van. He's willing
to be an honest broker of political information. And to me,
that's what you should be looking for out there in
your commentary. Who's being honest with you and being honest
sometimes mean saying things that make your own side a
little uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You know, Scott, I did an interview on CNN and
back in two thousand and eight, I would think believe
I was the first live walk off of an interview
and I've out never to go back. And I used
to make fun of conservatives who go on CNN, but
not in your case, sir.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I mean, you're one of my heroes.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You go on and you represent magnation America first policies,
you represent the conservative ideology in a way that I
think is very appealing to a lot of people. So
I just want to have you on to at least
say thank you for making CNN watchable.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, you're very kind and I'm very proud to be
part of the network. And I think CNN is doing
something that a lot of folks just don't do right now,
and that's try to engineer actual debates between conservatives and liberals,
between Republicans and Democrats. I think one of the biggest
problems we have in our country. Is that a lot
of folks, particularly on the left, getting these information bubbles
(25:35):
and they're never presented with what the reality of a
situation is.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
And CNN, I think is allowing me and.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Others to get inside that bubble and really present both
sides of arguments. And I think when conservatives are allowed
to do that, it makes a difference because people will
learn about things they didn't know about, they'll see things
in a different way. And I'm more than honored to
carry that torch for you know, what I think is
a viewpoint of half or more than half the country,
and I appreciate you saying it.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Scott Jennings from a ce in. My name is James T. Harris,
sitting in for the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
The Jesse Kelly Show, I Like it returns next.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
You are listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. Are you
enjoying yourself? I am.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
My name is James T. Harris sitting in for Jesse Kelly.
I'm a talk show host out of Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.
Five fifty KFYI seven ninety K is t the free
iHeartRadio app and you can follow me on x at
James T. Harris, Scott Jennings. He opens up a can
of whoop assets almost every night on see it in
(26:38):
the sole reason to watch it. But I gotta tell
you I was telling him the truth. I'm a fan
of Van Jones. I love to drink Van Jones tears.
I do, especially after elections are at twenty sixteen, twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
The reason why I like it because he's honest. In
twenty twenty when when Biden and won the election, I
do that thing with my fingers.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
One.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, Vanjolon's on TV crying.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
No, I can finally tell my friends, my Muslim friends,
that it's gonna be safe for them again. Okay man,
Okay again. This election has really rung a bell it
You've got thinking Democrats having to come to terms that
(27:33):
they didn't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
They had to come to.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Terms that Trump didn't know what he was talking about. Look,
had nothing to do with this red tsunami that swept
across the country. You know, Republicans are still, even after
the win, afraid to say that it was a tsunami
because you were promised to sue tsunami. You know, in
(27:56):
twenty twenty twenty twenty two didn't happen. That's because Trump
wasn't running in twenty twenty two. Trump said we had
to beat that cheat, and so you had Republicans change
their behavior. Raise your hand out there to Jesse Kelly audience,
if you.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Were an early voter, yup. See just look around. See.
But that's not all Trump did. You know.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
On my home station KYI in Phoenix, I'm like, you
know what, I don't see a lot of people door knocking.
I see Democrats door knocking day and they come to
my house all times of the night, leaving little pamphlets
and stuff like that. Stuff in the mail. I didn't
get a whole lot of stuff in the mail for Trump.
I didn't get a lot of door knocking. I don't
the guy one at all. I got a few texts,
(28:47):
But I told my audience, don't freak out. Trump has
tapped the vein. And you began you started to see
that when he was doing all these interviews, and you
were noticing that that Kamala Harris wasn't doing any they
had to keep her locked up. But then the places
that he was going, the interviews he was conducting mainstream
(29:08):
media wasn't on it immediately, but they started to find
out through social media. Van Jones had an epiphanty he
on a I don't know whether it was succeeding or what,
but he said, hey, you know what, Uh, we need
(29:28):
to understand something here. The digital is the new door
knocking in.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
The Philly suburbs. And I'm telling you we are way off.
The entire political class is way off. First of all,
digital is a new door knocking. You got to understand that.
We were laughing our butts off at Donald Trump for
suspending his door knocking campaign and letting Charlie Kirk and
Elon do a bunch of stuff online. We said, these
(29:57):
guys are idiots, these guys are stupid. Then you startknocking
on these doors.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You know, people come the door.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
With their phone in their hand. They're in a twenty
four hour digital surround sound that has nothing to do
with CNN, has nothing to do with any stuff that
we do.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I asked myself.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
I got a teenage son. I asked him, who are
the most influential people in the world today. I'm thinking
to myself, he's gonna say Barack Obama, Oprah Winfree Jay Z.
He says Kai sent Aiden, Ross, Jinxy and Sketch.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I don't know who he's talking about. I don't know either.
I don't know these people.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I think I heard of Kai something only because once
the Hairs campaign found out what they were doing, they
went to Kai and they tried to bribe him into
doing a stream with the Kamala Harris. They want to
pay him like fifty or one hundred thousand dollars. Then
he literally wigged out. He said, why is the Secret
(30:58):
Service coming? Why is this happening. I'm not in the politics.
Stay away from me. That's how I knew about Kay.
Those other people I never I don't know who they are,
but Trump did.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Van Jones I said, what what what platforms you are?
He goes, I'm on Twitch, kick and rumble. I said
that sounds like you need to go to the hospital.
What are these platforms? I'm telling you guys, the mainstream
has become fringe and the French has become mainstream.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
There are platforms. There are people out there that are.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Getting fourteen million streams, and we're on cable News getting
one or two million maybe, And so there is a
whole world out there. Kelly and Conway I hate to
agree with her, but I do a lot of times.
Donald Trump understood that and we didn't. And that's not
just Democrats do. The entire political class is way off,
way off, way off.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Van Jones way again. He's absolutely one percent. I know
what rumble is this twitch kick.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
My producer, my young I call him Young Hayden. My
producer is out of college. He's in his almost mid twenties.
Young Hayden. Young Hayden knew all of these people, was
able to describe to my audience what they talk, what
they stream about.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Are they political?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
No, They talk about gaming, they take talk about sports,
They talk about pretty much everything but politics, Bud. You
know what, Maybe it's because Baron Trump is of this age.
Maybe Barron was the lead advisor of what his father,
what platforms he could go on. But Trump went on
all of them and won over a generation.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I know what rumble is.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Notice didn't say Facebook, didn't say TikTok, didn't say Instagram,
didn't say YouTube. Trump tapped into a whole new universe.
And that doesn't mean that what we do here on
talk radio isn't important.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
But the Trump campaign has opened their eyes that there
are lots of avenues and you know what, the younger folks,
they're out there and they can be interested, but you
gotta find them on their platforms. Van Jones was brutally
honest about that.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Brutally.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's one of the reasons why I like him. He
wasn't out there, you know, just you know, faking the funk.
They got destroyed. Kelly and Conway was on that same
stage with him, and she was like, you know, she
spoke first. That's why he said, I can't disagree with her.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
I'm you know.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Charlie Kirker, Charlie kirk is here in the Arizona in
Phoenix with Turning point us say. He's a friend, he's
been friends for a couple of years. I called him
up at the election. I said, I just want to
be honest with you. I want to thank you for
your part in Steven the Republic. It's very humble. No man, no, no,
Charlie stopped. Charlie sh thank you for your part because
(34:15):
you did the heavy lifting. You and your crew were
on these college campuses, you mobilized them, you were on
these platforms. It's amazing what we're watching. It's amazing Coming
up next, we're going to talk about the.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Times person of the Year, James T. Haerras sit again
for the Jesse Kelly Show.
