Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show. All kinds of stuff to dig into
this hour. Trump went to Daytona five hundred. I'm want
to talk about that. Actually, there's something about that that
surprises me. I'm gonna have to yell at everybody and
be daddy Jesse about dealing with animals. Doge continues to
(00:35):
uncover all kinds of horrific things. All that and so
much more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Before I get to any of those things, you know
what time it is. It's the start of the second
hour on Monday, and so we are going to honor
a genuine American hero from Pawnee, Oklahoma. Do remember that
(00:56):
you can email the show love, hate, death threats, ask
doctor Jesse questions and if you so desire, if there's
one you love. Medal of honor citation requests. We have
a bunch of them stacked up, so might not get
to yours for a while, but this one was sent
some time. It goes to what it said, Jesse, I
love your show. I'm so appreciative of the way you
honor our veterans. I'm an Army war veteran and you
(01:19):
are a Marine war veteran. Thank you for your continued service.
I love your discussions about history. They're truly meaningful. I
would like to nominate a person for Medal of Honor Monday.
His name is Commander Ernest Evans. I went down with
I went down with his ship and the lay Tay Golf,
I think, he said. I think he went down in
the Lata Golf and World War II in the battle
(01:39):
off the coast of Samar. This man had a rendezvous
with destiny and we should be proud of such men
whose courage and honor set an example for us all.
I hope you will decide to feature Commander Evans on
a future Medal of Honor Monday. Thank you, God bless
and it would be my honor to do so. Without
further ado, let's talk about Ernest Edwin Chief Evans, and
(02:03):
I'll give you a little background around it after I
get done.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Right, Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's
Medal of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
As I said, if you're looking for more details, I'll
give you a few afterwards. In fact that we even
give you a book recommendation at the end of this one.
So buckle up for that, all right, for conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and
beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of the
USS Johnston in action against major units of the Japanese
(02:41):
fleet during the Battle off Samar on the twenty fifth
of October nineteen forty four. The first to lay a
smoke screen and to open fire, as an enemy task
force vastly superior in number, firepower, and armor rapidly approached,
Commander Evans gallantly diverted the powerful blast of hostile guns
(03:01):
from the lightly armed and armored carriers under his protection,
launching the first torpedo attack when the Johnston came under
straddling Japanese shell fire. Undaunted by damage sustained during the
terrific volume of fire, he unhesitatingly joined others of his
group to provide fire support during subsequent torpedo attacks against
(03:23):
the Japanese and out shooting and out maneuvering the enemy
as he consistently interposed his vessel between the hostile fleet
units and our carriers, despite the crippling loss of engine
power and communications with steering aft, shifted command of the fantail,
shouted steered orders through an open hatch to men turning
(03:46):
the rudder by hand, and battled furiously until the Johnston,
burned and shuddering from a mortal blow, lay dead in
the water after three hours of fierce combat. Seriously wounded
in the early engagement, Commander Evans, by his indomitable courage
and brilliant professional skill, aided materially in turning back the
(04:07):
enemy during a critical phase of the action. His valiant
spirit throughout the historic battle will venture as an inspiration
to all who served him. And as I said, I'm
about to give you a bit of background on that.
I don't know how long I'll take. Might be two minutes,
it might be ten minutes, but I feel like everyone
deserves a little background on that. But this man went
(04:29):
down to the deep. They did not actually even lay
eyes on the US S. Johnston until recently. I think
it was twenty twenty one. It was really really recently.
It went down, if memory serves me, in like fifteen
twenty thousand foot depths. But Commander Evans went down with
(04:54):
it and gave his life valiantly for this country. And
he is more than earned taps. Rest in peace, brother
(05:54):
Uh Jewish producer Chris just let me know it was
actually October of twenty nineteen. I knew it was Reese
and it was twenty one thousand feet deep just recently discovered. Okay,
So this is an incredible act and it's an incredible battle.
And before I go into just a little bit of
the background of it, I wanted to let you know
(06:15):
one of the great great World War Two books I
have ever read in my life will give you tons
of detail around this battle that I'm not going to
take the time to do. Now there's a bunch of
stories going on in the globe. I'll take a little
but Last Stand of the ten Can Sailors. I'll I'll
(06:36):
give it to you two more times so I don't
get an email asking me the name of the book.
The book is the Last Stand of the ten Can Sailors,
one more time for the cheap seats. Last Stand of
the ten Can Sailors is the name of the book.
All right, So here's a bit of background on. First
of all, let's discuss what kind of ship this was,
(06:56):
because this is going to matter and it makes it
makes what Evans did, and all the crew members of
the US Johnston. It makes what they did so incredibly cool.
And the ending of this story is awesome to me.
I've always when I first read it, I almost got
choked up, is how much I loved it. So first understand,
(07:16):
this was a destroyer. I don't expect you to be
any kind of an expert on naval vessels, so just
stay with me on this. I'll give you some basics.
And I'm not claiming to be an expert. I'm not
some career navy man or something like that. It's the
basics and things like that. What is at least during
World War Two? What were the purpose of destroyers? Because
(07:36):
there are carriers. You know what an aircraft carrier is.
You know what a battleship is. But okay, let's just
discuss that battleship versus destroyer. Why the two different ships, Well,
two different roles. And there's something I want you to
understand physics. I'm not a physics expert. That there's a
give and take for everything. A lot of these ships.
(08:00):
What we're dealing with is not only armor size, gun
size and the more armor your ship has. Yes, that
sounds lovely, but why not just put you know, twenty
feet thick armor on all of them because armor weighs
you down. They have not changed the laws of physics.
(08:21):
You can have heavy armor and with stanblous and be slow.
You can have lighter armor and move more quickly, but
you won't be able to take near as much punishment.
If you look at a battleship versus a destroyer, it's
not just that the battleship is bigger. The battleship is
made to take more of a punch because it has
(08:41):
a different role. Which brings us to.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The role the World War Two role.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Of the destroyer. What were the destroyers doing? Like, what
was the USS Johnston? What was its job? What was
its role? Well, they did different things, so I don't
want to act like it was one thing, but one
of the main things. In fact, what it was doing
at the start of this battle was it was a bodyguard.
I'll put it to you that way. It was considered
(09:08):
a bodyguard for what for the huge aircraft carriers? Remember
the aircraft carriers of World War Two, at least as
it goes to the Pacific. They didn't really play a
role in the Atlantic, but in the Pacific they were everything.
World War Two was fought on the big Blue in
the Pacific, it was fought in the water. An aircraft
(09:30):
carrier is a mobile army for obvious reasons. It's where
all your planes are. You want to bomb straight whatever.
Your carriers are your everything. They're big, they takes a
long time to build them, they're expensive to build. They
don't grow on trees, and so when you get one,
that is your military for the World War two. For
(09:50):
as far as World War two goes. Now here's the problem.
The enemy knows that too. Both sides knew that. Whenever
we were what we're are planes doing during World War Two?
Are our naval aircraft? What were they doing? Always hunting
for carriers? They called them flat tops for obvious reasons.
But they were out hunting for carriers. Don't get me wrong.
(10:12):
They would sink any Japanese ship they found. But the
duel was the carrier, because you knew that presented the
biggest threat to you. Well, the Japanese were and are
very capable and very smart too. They understood an American
aircraft carrier is what you must sink. That's where all
that air power is coming from. Get the carrier get
(10:33):
the carrier. So you need something like a destroyer. And
I'll talk a little bit more about this, then we'll
get back to politics. I don't care. I feel like
doing some history before we do that. World War two
talk gets my testosterone flowing even more. It just does.
It's like any other man. When I talk World War two,
my t levels go through the roof. But if we're
(10:56):
being honest, I have a little bit of a leg
up and that I take a male vitality stack from
chalk every single day. I take natural herbal supplements to
ensure that I'm never going to be low energy, never
going to be depressed all the time, never gonna get boobs.
I want to maintain my testosterone levels because of how
(11:16):
it makes me feel. Chalk makes me feel good. When's
the last time you felt great physically. Maybe it's time
to give chalk a shot. Look, it's not a lifetime commitment.
Go get a subscription. If it works for you, give
it ninety days. If it works, keep going. If it doesn't,
(11:37):
cancel it. They don't give you a hard time. Try it.
You might have a brand new life waiting for you.
Try it. C hoq dot com promo code Jesse. We'll
be back the little history what Chris, we can make jokes.
It's fine, we get that right. The Jesse Kelly cheff.
(11:58):
It is that Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, hopefully
about to wrap up a little brief, little history segment
I'm doing around our Medal of Honor Monday. Yes, I
will wrap it up, Chris, very soon. As soon as
I get done with that, we'll get back to these
doge cuts, all the fraud they're finding.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The story of the government employees getting fired, and so
much more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly
Show tonight. Back to our Medal of Honor. Citation case
you're just now joining us. We honored mister Ernest Edwin Evans,
Commander Evans, Commander of the USS. Johnston and I was
talking about the lead up to the battle. I was
(12:37):
discussing the role of a destroyer in World War Two.
In general, destroyers were fairly lightly armored. They were made
to be fast, they were made to take out submarines,
and especially a little later on towards the war, they
were made to take out airplanes. As the comic causey
(13:00):
problem from the Japanese got worse and worse and worse.
The destroyers were fitted to take out subs and take
out planes. Again back to what I was discussing, Their bodyguards,
bodyguards for the flat tops, bodyguards for the aircraft carriers.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now remember fast, they're fast, but lightly armored. That's look
when you want to take out a submarine. We've talked
about it before. If to the untrained mind, if you
just don't know anything about it, you would think a
submarine would have an advantage of a virtually anybody. No.
In World War Two, if they were on the surface,
they had no armor. You could penetrate the side easily.
(13:40):
Then they can't dive. If they're under the water, they
have to switch to electric power and they practically can't move.
This destroyer, for instance, the USS Johnston. This kind of
destroyer roughly three times as fast as a submerged submarine.
Meaning if they you, they will hunt you down and
(14:01):
they will kill you and you can't do anything about it.
That's the job of a destroyer. The bodyguard for the
aircraft carriers. Brings us to nineteen forty four when this
took place, the Battle off Samar. What are we doing here?
What is all this stuff we are getting ready as
a country to retake the Philippines. We are getting ready
(14:23):
to invade and retake the Philippines. Now this is nineteen
forty four. Anyone who's listening, anyone who pays attention to
World War II history understands the timeline. Nineteen forty one
was a bad year across the board. Nineteen forty two,
even after we got into the war, wasn't that much
better for most of the parties involved, most of the
good guys. But about towards the end of nineteen forty
(14:47):
two things started to turn. Forty three was disastrous for
the Axis. Forty four was apocalyptic. So as we get
ready to retake the Philippines, the Japanese Navy is in shambles. Shambles,
but they understand if they lose the Philippines, they've essentially
lost everything they gained to start the war, and now
(15:07):
they're just counting time until we invade the Home Islands.
They take pretty much everything they have left at their
disposal in their fleet and they send a Japanese fleet
down to the Philippines to stop us. They have their
super huge battleship, all of it, they send it all
down to stop us, stop America at any cost America. Look,
(15:33):
I'm not gonna go into those strategic decision making about this.
You can read the book. You can read up on it.
America kind of splits its forces up a bit, and
we find ourselves in a situation where this massive, powerful
Japanese fleet is bearing down on those escort carriers that
are so important to us. Remember, the carriers are everything
(15:56):
that brings us to The USS Johnston explained, it's very fast,
but this is a destroyer, very lightly armored. The Johnston
along with some other ships, they understand that they have
to take some bold action or this Japanese fleet that
surprised us is going to take out some of our really,
(16:20):
really important ships. And so the people on the USS Johnston,
instead of running away, chose to put up smoke screens
as you heard here, and they chose to charge. They
looked at this gigantic Japanese fleet, all these huge guns,
(16:40):
and they essentially charged into certain death. At one point
in time, Commander Evans, you know how it said he
had already been brutally wounded. Yeah, they practically blew his
hand off. It had been hit with so much stuff.
The ship was crippled. They blew off multiple fingers. He
had to relocate the command. He's still commanding the ship
(17:02):
without fingers, without maybe even a hand, commanding a ship.
And what's he doing. He's not just limping along. They
are firing more guns everything they have as they are
limping and vulnerable. Member they don't even have armor. At
one point in time, they get hit by a round
from the big Japanese battleship. The battleship doesn't realize how
(17:27):
lightly armored the destroyer is. They fire such a heavy
armor piercing round at the destroyer that it doesn't hardly
do any damage because the whole round just goes through
the ship like a blowt towards new butter. That's how
lightly armored this destroyer is. And yet they did not
turn and run. They didn't do what any sensible, like
(17:48):
sensible person would do because they knew they had a
role to play. They knew they had to be the
bodyguard at any cost. The escort carriers had to live.
So they just kept fighting and shooting and fighting and shooting.
And they're limping along. And remember this is a ship
built for speed. It has no armor. If the speed
(18:09):
goes away, you're nothing your paper machet out there on
the water, and the Japanese just started pounding this ship
to dust and they're giving it back as good as
they can get it. But then the ship sinks. Commander
Evans dies at some point in time after he ordered
abandoned ship as the ship was going into the water.
(18:31):
And what happened next is one of the coolest World
War Two stories you've probably never heard about. I'll tell
you that. It'll take me five seconds, then we'll get
back to politics. Okay, before we get to that last
little story, let me tell you about Pure Talk. As
long as we're talking about service, the inspiration we get
from people who fight it blesses me when veterans come
(18:53):
back and continue to serve their country in different ways.
The CEO of Pure Talk did two tours in Vietnam
with mac V. Soog. You know what mac V. Sag
was all about. He wasn't stapling papers for two tours
in Vietnam. He was behind enemy lines. But he didn't
come back and just call it quits. He's now the
CEO of this wonderful patriotic company. They hire Americans. And
(19:17):
you know that, long before Trump made it cool again,
Pure Talk was hiring Americans. You want to save money
on your cell phone service, support a company that shares
your values. Patriots veterans, dial pound two five zero and
say Jesse Kelly Pound two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly.
(19:39):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Wrapping
up would actually turn out to be a two segment
medal of honor Monday. Here wrapping this up. But we'll
get back to some of this government corruption. I'm gonna
have to be Daddy Jesse with everybody. We'll get to
some emails and other things. But one final note on
the US S. Johnston, the destroyer that charged a Japanese fleet,
(20:08):
firing everything it could and kept firing until it took
so much punishment it sunk beneath the waves. Commander Evans killed,
and one hundred and eighty six of its crew and officers.
Men and officers died. Three hundred and twenty seven men
on the ship. One hundred and eighty six died during
this whole, nasty, horrible affair. Now that brings me to
(20:32):
a cool story I've always loved. I It just I
don't know. It gives me goosebumps. You understand how the
Japanese treated Allied prisoners of war in World War II.
It was awful. Roughly twenty five percent of Allied prisoners
died in Japanese captivity. They died in Japanese captivity because
the Japanese had no respect whatsoever for anybody who surrendered.
(20:55):
At any point, you were supposed to die for your
country that you were taking prisoner, that you were taking
prisoner met you were less than human. They showed you
no respect. They starved you, they beat you to death,
they tortured It was awful. Everyone knows this. Okay, you
got all that. We understand how the Japanese during World
War Two treated the defeated. You know what they did
(21:17):
as they cruised past the crew of the US S. Johnston.
Remember there are multiple stories in World War Two of
the Japanese machine gunning sailors in the water. They just
run over them with the boats. You know what they
did the US S. Johnston, it's crew, Commander Evans and
(21:37):
his crew, they fought like such lions to the bitter end,
with no hope for survival. The Japanese crew of the
naval vessel, that crew, that sailed past them, didn't machine
gun them. The sailors lined up on the side of
the ship and saluted the Americans in the water. Amazing, right,
(22:01):
freaking amazing. That is the story of the USS Johnston
and the warriors in the United States Navy who gave
their life for this country in World War Two. Pretty
cool story. All right, Let's get back to some politics,
because people can't stop talking about this. This was Stephen
Miller FORIGN fraud rings.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
These are foreign nationals who come into the United States.
They use fake Social Security numbers, they use fake identities
to still billions in taxpayer benefits. There's no way to
know until DOGE gains full access exactly how much money
we're talking about, but over a ten year old budget window,
you could be talking about saving over a trillion dollars
(22:43):
by clamping down on massive fraud in our tax and
entitlement systems, included again those carried out by organized fraud
and theft rings.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The lack of control and accountability we are discovering inside
the federal government shocking even for those of us who
already knew the government was stupid and inefficient, And we
are finding out, unsurprisingly that criminal entities, both foreign and domestic,
have been exploiting that lack of efficiency for a very
(23:17):
very very long time. That the people inside of our
government have been pillaging this country. It is hard to
accept that the people inside of this government have allowed
foreigners to pillage this country is somehow even harder to accept.
We have guys like Representative Burchett saying things like this.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yeah, I think you're going to see a piper trail
come back to Washington, they say. And that's why I
think a lot of people are nervous, and you'll see
a lot of retirements because they are staling from the
American taxpayer. And now they get their handcutt in the
cookie jar, and all they can do is attack Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Which brings us to this little SOB story sixty minutes.
As soon as they were done giving cover to the
communists in Germany for arresting people for social media posts,
they decided they had to quickly switch gears and protect
the other foundation of communism worldwide, and that foundation is
the American taxpayer paying for his own destruction. And of
(24:17):
course they brought in some government employees that all of
a sudden didn't know where their next check was coming.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
People are really scared. You know, twelve days ago, people
knew where their next paycheck was coming from, They knew
how they were going to pay for their kids' take care,
their medical bills, and then all gone.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
What do you think that lady was saying during COVID
about you and your job? Just a question. I'm not look,
I'm not trying to lower myself to her level. I'm
just curious your job, your paycheck. When the United States
of America got a bad chest cold, what do you
(24:56):
think she was saying? You know, we lost a third
of the small businesses in this country because of a
chess code from China. Let me ask you, honest the question,
Chris is Corey. This is a genuine question. How many
segments on sixty minutes did you see a small business
(25:21):
owner who lost it all get interviewed? None? Who do
you remember any? It's weird. I don't remember any. But
why are we then? I guess I don't understand why
we're now getting this.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Doge arrived at USAID January twenty seventh, and that same
day USAID's top fifty eight managers were given forty five
minutes to get out.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
No someone lost their job. Wow, that's almost like how
all of us live forever. And of course they couldn't
help them, says at some point in time during all this,
they gave the game away. Why why didn't you care
about those small businesses? But you do care about Susie
Lesbian who just got let off from USA.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I think what we're really seeing is a consolidation of power,
and so fraud provides a plausible sound and reason for
running over what had been historical constraints, whether they were
statutes or norms, limiting the present's ability to centralize power.
The endgame here seems to be controlling every single apparatus
of the federal government directly out of the White House.
(26:31):
And that's just never been how we've understood executive power.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Here's how he understands power. They have consolidated power, and
had consolidated power for the longest time. They controlled every
single branch. Almost every single federal employee votes Democrat, and
no matter who gets elected, they continue to push communism,
foreign and domestic communism at all times. And that's the
system of government he wanted to be put into place
(26:57):
at all times. For the first time in my forty
three years, we have somebody who's actually breaking up that
system of power, and the American Communist is mortified, and there,
of course trying to slow roll it. If you will
fade the heat, as the kids say, they're trying to
fade the heat by telling you. Look, it's just thirty
(27:19):
eight billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
That's the big USAIDS spending in twenty twenty three was
thirty eight billion. That's less than one percent of the
federal budget. Nazios told us there is waste and occasional
fraud like any big agency, think of the Pentagon. But
the money, he says, is watched by officials, including those
(27:41):
in the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
The question is why did the Congress approve all these
contracts and grants and programs all these years? Why did
OMB approve them? Why did the State Department f Office?
The f Office controls all foreign eight spending. Every line
item in the USAID budget is approved by three different bodies,
the f Office, OMB, and the Congressional Oversight Committee, of
(28:06):
which there are four four. No one caught all these
horrible abuses.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You shouldn't even care about the waste that USAID because
other people miss the waste that usay, plus, it's only
thirty eight billion dollars of your money. You have plenty
of money, don't you. Don't you have unlimited money, especially
recently in recent years. Don't you have all the money
you want to do whatever you want to do. You've
taken every vacation you've wanted to right. Anytime you saw
(28:35):
a new purse, new truck, new gun, you bought it right.
Everything shiny and new around your house? How are your
vehicles all on the up and up? It's only thirty
eight billion dollars? Quit being selfish? You see, this is
how these people think. They seized all of our institutions,
use them to destroy us, and they've simply gotten used
(28:55):
to that being the way things have always been. And
now times are a chain rapidly. I'll play you one
more cut on that, and then we'll do some emails,
and Daddy Jesse's gonna have to step in on a
couple other things before we do that. You know, you
already know that I can't cook. Everyone knows that. And
yet I make an amazing brisket, I make an amazing steak,
(29:21):
I do these. I make an amazing chicken. How do
I do that when I can't cook. Well, I'll tell
you something. A friend told me. One of these pit
master types. He used to sell our v's with him,
and he said, if you're looking, you're not cooking. That's
what he always told me. And he said, just cook
the temp, cook to temperature. But how in the world
(29:43):
do you do that? With IQ Sense this little thermometer
from Chefman. You jam it into your meat. You leave
it in there, you don't check it every now and
then put it in there, Put it in the oven,
put it in the smoker, put it on the grill.
Put the thermo that are in there. The app on
your phone will let you know when it's done. You
(30:04):
close it, you don't look, you let it cook in
IQ Sense will make sure you have it perfected every time.
If you're looking, you're not cooking. Cook the temperature and
save fifteen percent on IQ Sense at chefiq dot com.
(30:24):
That'll save you fifteen percent if you use the code
Jesse chefiq dot com code Jesse Enjoy being a pitmaster
like me, We'll be.

One more word on the those institutions, they've gotten used
to institutional control. They've had it for so long, they've
(31:07):
gotten used to it. I saw Caitlyn Collins with CNN
put this little video up because Trump in one of
the cooler moves I've ever seen. Remember that mug shot.
They dragged him into that jail in Fulton County, Georgia,
and they put his mugshot up. Then they put it
online right away to dunk on him. Hey look we
got them. Ha ha ha, we're savages. Ha ha. Well,
(31:27):
Trump had it framed and it's boasted outside of the
Oval Office, his mugshot, Caitlyn Collins. Remember, the system doesn't understand.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Why not only have we never had a US president
with a mug shot. I'm not sure we've ever had
a mug shot hanging outside of the Oval Office before,
but that is where President Trump has placed his from
when he was indicted in Fulton County, Georgia for his
efforts to overturn the election. We learned a few days
ago he is a framed cover of The New York
Post with his mugshot, the Oval Office and what is
(32:01):
known as.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
The Outer Oval.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
His aid in person, who is his social media guru, really,
Dan Scabino, posted a video of it, saying Happy Valentine's
Day from the beautiful Oval Office. This has really become
a rallying cry that Trump has used on the campaign trail.
They even put it on merch and sold it featuring
his mugshot, and now it has a home outside the
Oval Office as well.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I know self awareness is not the communist strong point.
I realized that, but it really is wild to listen
to how lost these people are at what happened. They
don't understand it. They really thought that once they conquered
the institutions, that they could just do whatever they wanted
(32:47):
with the institutions, and the institutional trust the American people
had for those institutions would just stay forever, that it
was somehow etched in stone. And they, because they couldn't
control themselves, they took all these das, all these ags,
and decided to flex their communist muscle and just tried
(33:08):
to arrest the Republican nominee. You communists, every one of
you communists who hate listens to the show. You understand.
Please understand this, and you can go look at the
poll numbers that backed me up on this. You understand
that it wasn't just me and right wingers who looked
(33:29):
at the law fair against Trump and thought that's horrific
and too far. You understand that even turned off Norman Norma, right,
if you look at the poll numbers, norm and Norma
looked at all these arrests, all these ridiculous felonies, and
you keep trying to defend them. To this day, no
(33:49):
one can even explain. I've yet to talk to a
single Lib in a social setting who could explain to
me what the New York charges were not if I
even know that convicted up thirty seven felonies? Oh really, wow,
that sounds bad. Which ones? What felonies? What did he do?
You want to have a great time ask your liberal
aunt Peggy that they don't you dirty communists don't understand
(34:13):
that the whole world, it wasn't just Americans. The whole
world watched what you did and went ew, that's that's
kind of gross. That's kind of gross. All right, pause
on that for a moment. I need to do two things. First.
I need to make sure that you have purchased some
gold for your retirement. I should say, woven some gold
(34:37):
or silver into your retirement, because that's really what you're doing.
Gold Co does it for you, So don't oh, I
don't know how to do. You don't have to know
how to do anything. That's what gold Co does. They
have won awards in the last ten years for a reason.
The most reputable company I could find, gold Co. They
will give you a free twenty twenty five golden silver kit.
(34:59):
You might qualify for up to fifteen thousand dollars in
bonus silver, I might point out, but get it into
your retirement. You heard Trump's announcement today about the tariffs
and the VAT tax of it. I don't know what
is coming economically, not just for America, for the globe.
So just take some steps to protect yourself at Jesse
likesgold dot com or call them eight five five eight
(35:23):
one seven gold. Now. The other thing I need to
do is read this email. Dear two time congressional primary winner,
did Rush Limbaugh have influence over politicians. The other day,
you were wondering if jd Vance listens to your show
because he said something that mirrored something you had said.
So if politicians ever made decisions based on things Rush
(35:45):
said on the radio, then I know you can influence
politicians because you're every bit as good as Rush. I
don no, I'm not. Also, you can stop worrying about
tiny hands. Everyone knows it's the size of a man's
feet that matter, and I'm sure yours are huge. Kazab
is still with you. I don't understand what you're saying there,
but okay, I'll set that aside. Jesse Ashi, this one says,
(36:05):
dear men, you whisper. I took my dime out to
Benny Hannah for Valentine's ditter. When the check came, it
was quite a bit more than I expected, But then
I noticed the twenty percent service fee. Most restaurants I
go to, like Arby's or Jimmy John's, don't charge a
service fee. I thought this was a mandatory tip, so
I rounded it up a couple bucks and left the
cash and hit the road. On the way home, I
(36:27):
started to wonder who that twenty percent went to. Does
it go to the servers. Yes, listen, I'm not going
to tell you one way or the other whether I
support this. I mean, like I guess I could explain
it to you. But service fee is mandatory tip. This
is something waiters and waitresses love. They prefer mandatory tipping. Now,
(36:50):
maybe you are a good tipper, and so you're sitting
there saying, well, screw that. If I get forced to
pay that, I'm not paying a dime more. And I'll
tell you that's exactly what I am. I am a
good tipper. I always have it. Even when I didn't
have a dime, I tip. Well, you forced me to tip.
That's the max tip you're getting. I won't add fifty
cents to it. You shorted yourself with me, no question
(37:13):
about it. However, waiters and waitresses love it because there
are tons of people out there who simply do not tip.
They don't and in the end, the waiter slash waitress
brings home more money with a mandatory tip. I have
(37:33):
a ton of friends in the restaurant industry, and every
single one of them, to a man, has told me
that his servers either a loved the force tipping or
B if they don't do it. Have practically begged him
to incorporate force tipping. You do you conduct yourself however
you want to conduct yourself with the force tipping. I'm
(37:55):
just telling you that's my policy. I get it. I
get it enough that all still go to a restaurant
that does it. But as I said, out of principle,
you force it on me, you won't get ten extra
cents beyond that force on me. Now, if you don't
force it on me twenty percent, twenty percent means you
screwed something up. I tried to give twenty five thirty
(38:17):
percent if I can. Especially, you're putting in work. Servers,
they bust their bets, they work really hard. You're putting
in work. You got twenty five thirty percent coming your way.
You got twenty from me. You sucked a little bit,
you really did. But you force twenty on me. That's
the only twenty you're ever going to get. Period. And
a story now before we get to Trump attending NASCAR,
(38:41):
those uncovering a program that that told newborns they were racists.
Daddy Jesse has to step in and have a talk
with America. Next
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Another hour of the
Jesse Kelly Show. All kinds of stuff to dig into
this hour. Trump went to Daytona five hundred. I'm want
to talk about that. Actually, there's something about that that
surprises me. I'm gonna have to yell at everybody and
be daddy Jesse about dealing with animals. Doge continues to
(00:35):
uncover all kinds of horrific things. All that and so
much more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Before I get to any of those things, you know
what time it is. It's the start of the second
hour on Monday, and so we are going to honor
a genuine American hero from Pawnee, Oklahoma. Do remember that
(00:56):
you can email the show love, hate, death threats, ask
doctor Jesse questions and if you so desire, if there's
one you love. Medal of honor citation requests. We have
a bunch of them stacked up, so might not get
to yours for a while, but this one was sent
some time. It goes to what it said, Jesse, I
love your show. I'm so appreciative of the way you
honor our veterans. I'm an Army war veteran and you
(01:19):
are a Marine war veteran. Thank you for your continued service.
I love your discussions about history. They're truly meaningful. I
would like to nominate a person for Medal of Honor Monday.
His name is Commander Ernest Evans. I went down with
I went down with his ship and the lay Tay Golf,
I think, he said. I think he went down in
the Lata Golf and World War II in the battle
(01:39):
off the coast of Samar. This man had a rendezvous
with destiny and we should be proud of such men
whose courage and honor set an example for us all.
I hope you will decide to feature Commander Evans on
a future Medal of Honor Monday. Thank you, God bless
and it would be my honor to do so. Without
further ado, let's talk about Ernest Edwin Chief Evans, and
(02:03):
I'll give you a little background around it after I
get done.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Right, Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's
Medal of Honor Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
As I said, if you're looking for more details, I'll
give you a few afterwards. In fact that we even
give you a book recommendation at the end of this one.
So buckle up for that, all right, for conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and
beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of the
USS Johnston in action against major units of the Japanese
(02:41):
fleet during the Battle off Samar on the twenty fifth
of October nineteen forty four. The first to lay a
smoke screen and to open fire, as an enemy task
force vastly superior in number, firepower, and armor rapidly approached,
Commander Evans gallantly diverted the powerful blast of hostile guns
(03:01):
from the lightly armed and armored carriers under his protection,
launching the first torpedo attack when the Johnston came under
straddling Japanese shell fire. Undaunted by damage sustained during the
terrific volume of fire, he unhesitatingly joined others of his
group to provide fire support during subsequent torpedo attacks against
(03:23):
the Japanese and out shooting and out maneuvering the enemy
as he consistently interposed his vessel between the hostile fleet
units and our carriers, despite the crippling loss of engine
power and communications with steering aft, shifted command of the fantail,
shouted steered orders through an open hatch to men turning
(03:46):
the rudder by hand, and battled furiously until the Johnston,
burned and shuddering from a mortal blow, lay dead in
the water after three hours of fierce combat. Seriously wounded
in the early engagement, Commander Evans, by his indomitable courage
and brilliant professional skill, aided materially in turning back the
(04:07):
enemy during a critical phase of the action. His valiant
spirit throughout the historic battle will venture as an inspiration
to all who served him. And as I said, I'm
about to give you a bit of background on that.
I don't know how long I'll take. Might be two minutes,
it might be ten minutes, but I feel like everyone
deserves a little background on that. But this man went
(04:29):
down to the deep. They did not actually even lay
eyes on the US S. Johnston until recently. I think
it was twenty twenty one. It was really really recently.
It went down, if memory serves me, in like fifteen
twenty thousand foot depths. But Commander Evans went down with
(04:54):
it and gave his life valiantly for this country. And
he is more than earned taps. Rest in peace, brother
(05:54):
Uh Jewish producer Chris just let me know it was
actually October of twenty nineteen. I knew it was Reese
and it was twenty one thousand feet deep just recently discovered. Okay,
So this is an incredible act and it's an incredible battle.
And before I go into just a little bit of
the background of it, I wanted to let you know
(06:15):
one of the great great World War Two books I
have ever read in my life will give you tons
of detail around this battle that I'm not going to
take the time to do. Now there's a bunch of
stories going on in the globe. I'll take a little
but Last Stand of the ten Can Sailors. I'll I'll
(06:36):
give it to you two more times so I don't
get an email asking me the name of the book.
The book is the Last Stand of the ten Can Sailors,
one more time for the cheap seats. Last Stand of
the ten Can Sailors is the name of the book.
All right, So here's a bit of background on. First
of all, let's discuss what kind of ship this was,
(06:56):
because this is going to matter and it makes it
makes what Evans did, and all the crew members of
the US Johnston. It makes what they did so incredibly cool.
And the ending of this story is awesome to me.
I've always when I first read it, I almost got
choked up, is how much I loved it. So first understand,
(07:16):
this was a destroyer. I don't expect you to be
any kind of an expert on naval vessels, so just
stay with me on this. I'll give you some basics.
And I'm not claiming to be an expert. I'm not
some career navy man or something like that. It's the
basics and things like that. What is at least during
World War Two? What were the purpose of destroyers? Because
(07:36):
there are carriers. You know what an aircraft carrier is.
You know what a battleship is. But okay, let's just
discuss that battleship versus destroyer. Why the two different ships, Well,
two different roles. And there's something I want you to
understand physics. I'm not a physics expert. That there's a
give and take for everything. A lot of these ships.
(08:00):
What we're dealing with is not only armor size, gun
size and the more armor your ship has. Yes, that
sounds lovely, but why not just put you know, twenty
feet thick armor on all of them because armor weighs
you down. They have not changed the laws of physics.
(08:21):
You can have heavy armor and with stanblous and be slow.
You can have lighter armor and move more quickly, but
you won't be able to take near as much punishment.
If you look at a battleship versus a destroyer, it's
not just that the battleship is bigger. The battleship is
made to take more of a punch because it has
(08:41):
a different role. Which brings us to.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The role the World War Two role.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Of the destroyer. What were the destroyers doing? Like, what
was the USS Johnston? What was its job? What was
its role? Well, they did different things, so I don't
want to act like it was one thing, but one
of the main things. In fact, what it was doing
at the start of this battle was it was a bodyguard.
I'll put it to you that way. It was considered
(09:08):
a bodyguard for what for the huge aircraft carriers? Remember
the aircraft carriers of World War Two, at least as
it goes to the Pacific. They didn't really play a
role in the Atlantic, but in the Pacific they were everything.
World War Two was fought on the big Blue in
the Pacific, it was fought in the water. An aircraft
(09:30):
carrier is a mobile army for obvious reasons. It's where
all your planes are. You want to bomb straight whatever.
Your carriers are your everything. They're big, they takes a
long time to build them, they're expensive to build. They
don't grow on trees, and so when you get one,
that is your military for the World War two. For
(09:50):
as far as World War two goes. Now here's the problem.
The enemy knows that too. Both sides knew that. Whenever
we were what we're are planes doing during World War Two?
Are our naval aircraft? What were they doing? Always hunting
for carriers? They called them flat tops for obvious reasons.
But they were out hunting for carriers. Don't get me wrong.
(10:12):
They would sink any Japanese ship they found. But the
duel was the carrier, because you knew that presented the
biggest threat to you. Well, the Japanese were and are
very capable and very smart too. They understood an American
aircraft carrier is what you must sink. That's where all
that air power is coming from. Get the carrier get
(10:33):
the carrier. So you need something like a destroyer. And
I'll talk a little bit more about this, then we'll
get back to politics. I don't care. I feel like
doing some history before we do that. World War two
talk gets my testosterone flowing even more. It just does.
It's like any other man. When I talk World War two,
my t levels go through the roof. But if we're
(10:56):
being honest, I have a little bit of a leg
up and that I take a male vitality stack from
chalk every single day. I take natural herbal supplements to
ensure that I'm never going to be low energy, never
going to be depressed all the time, never gonna get boobs.
I want to maintain my testosterone levels because of how
(11:16):
it makes me feel. Chalk makes me feel good. When's
the last time you felt great physically. Maybe it's time
to give chalk a shot. Look, it's not a lifetime commitment.
Go get a subscription. If it works for you, give
it ninety days. If it works, keep going. If it doesn't,
(11:37):
cancel it. They don't give you a hard time. Try it.
You might have a brand new life waiting for you.
Try it. C hoq dot com promo code Jesse. We'll
be back the little history what Chris, we can make jokes.
It's fine, we get that right. The Jesse Kelly cheff.
(11:58):
It is that Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday, hopefully
about to wrap up a little brief, little history segment
I'm doing around our Medal of Honor Monday. Yes, I
will wrap it up, Chris, very soon. As soon as
I get done with that, we'll get back to these
doge cuts, all the fraud they're finding.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The story of the government employees getting fired, and so
much more coming up on the world famous Jesse Kelly
Show tonight. Back to our Medal of Honor. Citation case
you're just now joining us. We honored mister Ernest Edwin Evans,
Commander Evans, Commander of the USS. Johnston and I was
talking about the lead up to the battle. I was
(12:37):
discussing the role of a destroyer in World War Two.
In general, destroyers were fairly lightly armored. They were made
to be fast, they were made to take out submarines,
and especially a little later on towards the war, they
were made to take out airplanes. As the comic causey
(13:00):
problem from the Japanese got worse and worse and worse.
The destroyers were fitted to take out subs and take
out planes. Again back to what I was discussing, Their bodyguards,
bodyguards for the flat tops, bodyguards for the aircraft carriers.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now remember fast, they're fast, but lightly armored. That's look
when you want to take out a submarine. We've talked
about it before. If to the untrained mind, if you
just don't know anything about it, you would think a
submarine would have an advantage of a virtually anybody. No.
In World War Two, if they were on the surface,
they had no armor. You could penetrate the side easily.
(13:40):
Then they can't dive. If they're under the water, they
have to switch to electric power and they practically can't move.
This destroyer, for instance, the USS Johnston. This kind of
destroyer roughly three times as fast as a submerged submarine.
Meaning if they you, they will hunt you down and
(14:01):
they will kill you and you can't do anything about it.
That's the job of a destroyer. The bodyguard for the
aircraft carriers. Brings us to nineteen forty four when this
took place, the Battle off Samar. What are we doing here?
What is all this stuff we are getting ready as
a country to retake the Philippines. We are getting ready
(14:23):
to invade and retake the Philippines. Now this is nineteen
forty four. Anyone who's listening, anyone who pays attention to
World War II history understands the timeline. Nineteen forty one
was a bad year across the board. Nineteen forty two,
even after we got into the war, wasn't that much
better for most of the parties involved, most of the
good guys. But about towards the end of nineteen forty
(14:47):
two things started to turn. Forty three was disastrous for
the Axis. Forty four was apocalyptic. So as we get
ready to retake the Philippines, the Japanese Navy is in shambles. Shambles,
but they understand if they lose the Philippines, they've essentially
lost everything they gained to start the war, and now
(15:07):
they're just counting time until we invade the Home Islands.
They take pretty much everything they have left at their
disposal in their fleet and they send a Japanese fleet
down to the Philippines to stop us. They have their
super huge battleship, all of it, they send it all
down to stop us, stop America at any cost America. Look,
(15:33):
I'm not gonna go into those strategic decision making about this.
You can read the book. You can read up on it.
America kind of splits its forces up a bit, and
we find ourselves in a situation where this massive, powerful
Japanese fleet is bearing down on those escort carriers that
are so important to us. Remember, the carriers are everything
(15:56):
that brings us to The USS Johnston explained, it's very fast,
but this is a destroyer, very lightly armored. The Johnston
along with some other ships, they understand that they have
to take some bold action or this Japanese fleet that
surprised us is going to take out some of our really,
(16:20):
really important ships. And so the people on the USS Johnston,
instead of running away, chose to put up smoke screens
as you heard here, and they chose to charge. They
looked at this gigantic Japanese fleet, all these huge guns,
(16:40):
and they essentially charged into certain death. At one point
in time, Commander Evans, you know how it said he
had already been brutally wounded. Yeah, they practically blew his
hand off. It had been hit with so much stuff.
The ship was crippled. They blew off multiple fingers. He
had to relocate the command. He's still commanding the ship
(17:02):
without fingers, without maybe even a hand, commanding a ship.
And what's he doing. He's not just limping along. They
are firing more guns everything they have as they are
limping and vulnerable. Member they don't even have armor. At
one point in time, they get hit by a round
from the big Japanese battleship. The battleship doesn't realize how
(17:27):
lightly armored the destroyer is. They fire such a heavy
armor piercing round at the destroyer that it doesn't hardly
do any damage because the whole round just goes through
the ship like a blowt towards new butter. That's how
lightly armored this destroyer is. And yet they did not
turn and run. They didn't do what any sensible, like
(17:48):
sensible person would do because they knew they had a
role to play. They knew they had to be the
bodyguard at any cost. The escort carriers had to live.
So they just kept fighting and shooting and fighting and shooting.
And they're limping along. And remember this is a ship
built for speed. It has no armor. If the speed
(18:09):
goes away, you're nothing your paper machet out there on
the water, and the Japanese just started pounding this ship
to dust and they're giving it back as good as
they can get it. But then the ship sinks. Commander
Evans dies at some point in time after he ordered
abandoned ship as the ship was going into the water.
(18:31):
And what happened next is one of the coolest World
War Two stories you've probably never heard about. I'll tell
you that. It'll take me five seconds, then we'll get
back to politics. Okay, before we get to that last
little story, let me tell you about Pure Talk. As
long as we're talking about service, the inspiration we get
from people who fight it blesses me when veterans come
(18:53):
back and continue to serve their country in different ways.
The CEO of Pure Talk did two tours in Vietnam
with mac V. Soog. You know what mac V. Sag
was all about. He wasn't stapling papers for two tours
in Vietnam. He was behind enemy lines. But he didn't
come back and just call it quits. He's now the
CEO of this wonderful patriotic company. They hire Americans. And
(19:17):
you know that, long before Trump made it cool again,
Pure Talk was hiring Americans. You want to save money
on your cell phone service, support a company that shares
your values. Patriots veterans, dial pound two five zero and
say Jesse Kelly Pound two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly.
(19:39):
We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Wrapping
up would actually turn out to be a two segment
medal of honor Monday. Here wrapping this up. But we'll
get back to some of this government corruption. I'm gonna
have to be Daddy Jesse with everybody. We'll get to
some emails and other things. But one final note on
the US S. Johnston, the destroyer that charged a Japanese fleet,
(20:08):
firing everything it could and kept firing until it took
so much punishment it sunk beneath the waves. Commander Evans killed,
and one hundred and eighty six of its crew and officers.
Men and officers died. Three hundred and twenty seven men
on the ship. One hundred and eighty six died during
this whole, nasty, horrible affair. Now that brings me to
(20:32):
a cool story I've always loved. I It just I
don't know. It gives me goosebumps. You understand how the
Japanese treated Allied prisoners of war in World War II.
It was awful. Roughly twenty five percent of Allied prisoners
died in Japanese captivity. They died in Japanese captivity because
the Japanese had no respect whatsoever for anybody who surrendered.
(20:55):
At any point, you were supposed to die for your
country that you were taking prisoner, that you were taking
prisoner met you were less than human. They showed you
no respect. They starved you, they beat you to death,
they tortured It was awful. Everyone knows this. Okay, you
got all that. We understand how the Japanese during World
War Two treated the defeated. You know what they did
(21:17):
as they cruised past the crew of the US S. Johnston.
Remember there are multiple stories in World War Two of
the Japanese machine gunning sailors in the water. They just
run over them with the boats. You know what they
did the US S. Johnston, it's crew, Commander Evans and
(21:37):
his crew, they fought like such lions to the bitter end,
with no hope for survival. The Japanese crew of the
naval vessel, that crew, that sailed past them, didn't machine
gun them. The sailors lined up on the side of
the ship and saluted the Americans in the water. Amazing, right,
(22:01):
freaking amazing. That is the story of the USS Johnston
and the warriors in the United States Navy who gave
their life for this country in World War Two. Pretty
cool story. All right, Let's get back to some politics,
because people can't stop talking about this. This was Stephen
Miller FORIGN fraud rings.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
These are foreign nationals who come into the United States.
They use fake Social Security numbers, they use fake identities
to still billions in taxpayer benefits. There's no way to
know until DOGE gains full access exactly how much money
we're talking about, but over a ten year old budget window,
you could be talking about saving over a trillion dollars
(22:43):
by clamping down on massive fraud in our tax and
entitlement systems, included again those carried out by organized fraud
and theft rings.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The lack of control and accountability we are discovering inside
the federal government shocking even for those of us who
already knew the government was stupid and inefficient, And we
are finding out, unsurprisingly that criminal entities, both foreign and domestic,
have been exploiting that lack of efficiency for a very
(23:17):
very very long time. That the people inside of our
government have been pillaging this country. It is hard to
accept that the people inside of this government have allowed
foreigners to pillage this country is somehow even harder to accept.
We have guys like Representative Burchett saying things like this.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yeah, I think you're going to see a piper trail
come back to Washington, they say. And that's why I
think a lot of people are nervous, and you'll see
a lot of retirements because they are staling from the
American taxpayer. And now they get their handcutt in the
cookie jar, and all they can do is attack Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Which brings us to this little SOB story sixty minutes.
As soon as they were done giving cover to the
communists in Germany for arresting people for social media posts,
they decided they had to quickly switch gears and protect
the other foundation of communism worldwide, and that foundation is
the American taxpayer paying for his own destruction. And of
(24:17):
course they brought in some government employees that all of
a sudden didn't know where their next check was coming.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
People are really scared. You know, twelve days ago, people
knew where their next paycheck was coming from, They knew
how they were going to pay for their kids' take care,
their medical bills, and then all gone.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
What do you think that lady was saying during COVID
about you and your job? Just a question. I'm not look,
I'm not trying to lower myself to her level. I'm
just curious your job, your paycheck. When the United States
of America got a bad chest cold, what do you
(24:56):
think she was saying? You know, we lost a third
of the small businesses in this country because of a
chess code from China. Let me ask you, honest the question,
Chris is Corey. This is a genuine question. How many
segments on sixty minutes did you see a small business
(25:21):
owner who lost it all get interviewed? None? Who do
you remember any? It's weird. I don't remember any. But
why are we then? I guess I don't understand why
we're now getting this.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Doge arrived at USAID January twenty seventh, and that same
day USAID's top fifty eight managers were given forty five
minutes to get out.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
No someone lost their job. Wow, that's almost like how
all of us live forever. And of course they couldn't
help them, says at some point in time during all this,
they gave the game away. Why why didn't you care
about those small businesses? But you do care about Susie
Lesbian who just got let off from USA.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
I think what we're really seeing is a consolidation of power,
and so fraud provides a plausible sound and reason for
running over what had been historical constraints, whether they were
statutes or norms, limiting the present's ability to centralize power.
The endgame here seems to be controlling every single apparatus
of the federal government directly out of the White House.
(26:31):
And that's just never been how we've understood executive power.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Here's how he understands power. They have consolidated power, and
had consolidated power for the longest time. They controlled every
single branch. Almost every single federal employee votes Democrat, and
no matter who gets elected, they continue to push communism,
foreign and domestic communism at all times. And that's the
system of government he wanted to be put into place
(26:57):
at all times. For the first time in my forty
three years, we have somebody who's actually breaking up that
system of power, and the American Communist is mortified, and there,
of course trying to slow roll it. If you will
fade the heat, as the kids say, they're trying to
fade the heat by telling you. Look, it's just thirty
(27:19):
eight billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
That's the big USAIDS spending in twenty twenty three was
thirty eight billion. That's less than one percent of the
federal budget. Nazios told us there is waste and occasional
fraud like any big agency, think of the Pentagon. But
the money, he says, is watched by officials, including those
(27:41):
in the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
The question is why did the Congress approve all these
contracts and grants and programs all these years? Why did
OMB approve them? Why did the State Department f Office?
The f Office controls all foreign eight spending. Every line
item in the USAID budget is approved by three different bodies,
the f Office, OMB, and the Congressional Oversight Committee, of
(28:06):
which there are four four. No one caught all these
horrible abuses.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You shouldn't even care about the waste that USAID because
other people miss the waste that usay, plus, it's only
thirty eight billion dollars of your money. You have plenty
of money, don't you. Don't you have unlimited money, especially
recently in recent years. Don't you have all the money
you want to do whatever you want to do. You've
taken every vacation you've wanted to right. Anytime you saw
(28:35):
a new purse, new truck, new gun, you bought it right.
Everything shiny and new around your house? How are your
vehicles all on the up and up? It's only thirty
eight billion dollars? Quit being selfish? You see, this is
how these people think. They seized all of our institutions,
use them to destroy us, and they've simply gotten used
(28:55):
to that being the way things have always been. And
now times are a chain rapidly. I'll play you one
more cut on that, and then we'll do some emails,
and Daddy Jesse's gonna have to step in on a
couple other things before we do that. You know, you
already know that I can't cook. Everyone knows that. And
yet I make an amazing brisket, I make an amazing steak,
(29:21):
I do these. I make an amazing chicken. How do
I do that when I can't cook. Well, I'll tell
you something. A friend told me. One of these pit
master types. He used to sell our v's with him,
and he said, if you're looking, you're not cooking. That's
what he always told me. And he said, just cook
the temp, cook to temperature. But how in the world
(29:43):
do you do that? With IQ Sense this little thermometer
from Chefman. You jam it into your meat. You leave
it in there, you don't check it every now and
then put it in there, Put it in the oven,
put it in the smoker, put it on the grill.
Put the thermo that are in there. The app on
your phone will let you know when it's done. You
(30:04):
close it, you don't look, you let it cook in
IQ Sense will make sure you have it perfected every time.
If you're looking, you're not cooking. Cook the temperature and
save fifteen percent on IQ Sense at chefiq dot com.
(30:24):
That'll save you fifteen percent if you use the code

One more word on the those institutions, they've gotten used
to institutional control. They've had it for so long, they've
(31:07):
gotten used to it. I saw Caitlyn Collins with CNN
put this little video up because Trump in one of
the cooler moves I've ever seen. Remember that mug shot.
They dragged him into that jail in Fulton County, Georgia,
and they put his mugshot up. Then they put it
online right away to dunk on him. Hey look we
got them. Ha ha ha, we're savages. Ha ha. Well,
(31:27):
Trump had it framed and it's boasted outside of the
Oval Office, his mugshot, Caitlyn Collins. Remember, the system doesn't understand.
Speaker 10 (31:38):
Why not only have we never had a US president
with a mug shot. I'm not sure we've ever had
a mug shot hanging outside of the Oval Office before,
but that is where President Trump has placed his from
when he was indicted in Fulton County, Georgia for his
efforts to overturn the election. We learned a few days
ago he is a framed cover of The New York
Post with his mugshot, the Oval Office and what is
(32:01):
known as.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
The Outer Oval.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
His aid in person, who is his social media guru, really,
Dan Scabino, posted a video of it, saying Happy Valentine's
Day from the beautiful Oval Office. This has really become
a rallying cry that Trump has used on the campaign trail.
They even put it on merch and sold it featuring
his mugshot, and now it has a home outside the
Oval Office as well.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I know self awareness is not the communist strong point.
I realized that, but it really is wild to listen
to how lost these people are at what happened. They
don't understand it. They really thought that once they conquered
the institutions, that they could just do whatever they wanted
(32:47):
with the institutions, and the institutional trust the American people
had for those institutions would just stay forever, that it
was somehow etched in stone. And they, because they couldn't
control themselves, they took all these das, all these ags,
and decided to flex their communist muscle and just tried
(33:08):
to arrest the Republican nominee. You communists, every one of
you communists who hate listens to the show. You understand.
Please understand this, and you can go look at the
poll numbers that backed me up on this. You understand
that it wasn't just me and right wingers who looked
(33:29):
at the law fair against Trump and thought that's horrific
and too far. You understand that even turned off Norman Norma, right,
if you look at the poll numbers, norm and Norma
looked at all these arrests, all these ridiculous felonies, and
you keep trying to defend them. To this day, no
(33:49):
one can even explain. I've yet to talk to a
single Lib in a social setting who could explain to
me what the New York charges were not if I
even know that convicted up thirty seven felonies? Oh really, wow,
that sounds bad. Which ones? What felonies? What did he do?
You want to have a great time ask your liberal
aunt Peggy that they don't you dirty communists don't understand
(34:13):
that the whole world, it wasn't just Americans. The whole
world watched what you did and went ew, that's that's
kind of gross. That's kind of gross. All right, pause
on that for a moment. I need to do two things. First.
I need to make sure that you have purchased some
gold for your retirement. I should say, woven some gold
(34:37):
or silver into your retirement, because that's really what you're doing.
Gold Co does it for you, So don't oh, I
don't know how to do. You don't have to know
how to do anything. That's what gold Co does. They
have won awards in the last ten years for a reason.
The most reputable company I could find, gold Co. They
will give you a free twenty twenty five golden silver kit.
(34:59):
You might qualify for up to fifteen thousand dollars in
bonus silver, I might point out, but get it into
your retirement. You heard Trump's announcement today about the tariffs
and the VAT tax of it. I don't know what
is coming economically, not just for America, for the globe.
So just take some steps to protect yourself at Jesse
likesgold dot com or call them eight five five eight
(35:23):
one seven gold. Now. The other thing I need to
do is read this email. Dear two time congressional primary winner,
did Rush Limbaugh have influence over politicians. The other day,
you were wondering if jd Vance listens to your show
because he said something that mirrored something you had said.
So if politicians ever made decisions based on things Rush
(35:45):
said on the radio, then I know you can influence
politicians because you're every bit as good as Rush. I
don no, I'm not. Also, you can stop worrying about
tiny hands. Everyone knows it's the size of a man's
feet that matter, and I'm sure yours are huge. Kazab
is still with you. I don't understand what you're saying there,
but okay, I'll set that aside. Jesse Ashi, this one says,
(36:05):
dear men, you whisper. I took my dime out to
Benny Hannah for Valentine's ditter. When the check came, it
was quite a bit more than I expected, But then
I noticed the twenty percent service fee. Most restaurants I
go to, like Arby's or Jimmy John's, don't charge a
service fee. I thought this was a mandatory tip, so
I rounded it up a couple bucks and left the
cash and hit the road. On the way home, I
(36:27):
started to wonder who that twenty percent went to. Does
it go to the servers. Yes, listen, I'm not going
to tell you one way or the other whether I
support this. I mean, like I guess I could explain
it to you. But service fee is mandatory tip. This
is something waiters and waitresses love. They prefer mandatory tipping. Now,
(36:50):
maybe you are a good tipper, and so you're sitting
there saying, well, screw that. If I get forced to
pay that, I'm not paying a dime more. And I'll
tell you that's exactly what I am. I am a
good tipper. I always have it. Even when I didn't
have a dime, I tip. Well, you forced me to tip.
That's the max tip you're getting. I won't add fifty
cents to it. You shorted yourself with me, no question
(37:13):
about it. However, waiters and waitresses love it because there
are tons of people out there who simply do not tip.
They don't and in the end, the waiter slash waitress
brings home more money with a mandatory tip. I have
(37:33):
a ton of friends in the restaurant industry, and every
single one of them, to a man, has told me
that his servers either a loved the force tipping or
B if they don't do it. Have practically begged him
to incorporate force tipping. You do you conduct yourself however
you want to conduct yourself with the force tipping. I'm
(37:55):
just telling you that's my policy. I get it. I
get it enough that all still go to a restaurant
that does it. But as I said, out of principle,
you force it on me, you won't get ten extra
cents beyond that force on me. Now, if you don't
force it on me twenty percent, twenty percent means you
screwed something up. I tried to give twenty five thirty
(38:17):
percent if I can. Especially, you're putting in work. Servers,
they bust their bets, they work really hard. You're putting
in work. You got twenty five thirty percent coming your way.
You got twenty from me. You sucked a little bit,
you really did. But you force twenty on me. That's
the only twenty you're ever going to get. Period. And
a story now before we get to Trump attending NASCAR,
(38:41):
those uncovering a program that that told newborns they were racists.
Daddy Jesse has to step in and have a talk
with America. Next
