Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Monday.
So this hour, here's what we're in store for. It's
gonna take me a little bit to get probably all
the way done with this one, but we're gonna talk
(00:31):
about messaging why it matters in the White House is
missing the mark big time and has been missing the
mark big time with something and it's it's being really damaging.
So we're about to talk about that. Then we'll get
to some emails and maybe some other things, but I
wanted to address it first. I wanted to talk about this.
(00:54):
There is something going on, or a couple of things,
a couple of big things going on, and these big
things that are going on are really out of anybody's control.
Now you can attempt to mitigate how bad it is,
but there are things that are so big, so global,
(01:15):
so universal, that nobody, certainly no president or even Congress
or anything, can fix them. And we need to be
fair because we're about to have a talk about the
economy and jobs and things like that. There are things
we can do and things we can fix, and then
there are things that are simply unfixable at this point
(01:36):
in time. Let's get the unfixables out of the way first,
shall we. We don't have to cover it all because
you know the story quite well. But when COVID happened
and we decided, not just us, the world did it.
I just I's still marvel at it. But the world
(01:58):
decided to stop its economy on purpose. I've never even
heard of anything like that before. And I've heard of
quarantines and things, but countries telling you know, their merchants,
their businesses, hey, don't do anything anymore. I just don't
think I've ever heard of it in my life. But
we did it all. Right, Now, we need to pause
(02:22):
for a second. Remember that we have a twenty trillion
dollar economy. Roughly, there are more moving parts in pieces
in a twenty trillion dollar economy than you or me
or the smartest people in the world could ever possibly understand.
Because this moving part works with that, and moves with that,
(02:43):
and moves at that and movement. You understand, if you
stop it for even a day, you're going to cause
some headaches that you just are. You stop it for
a month, four months, six month, you stop it for
long enough? What you're going to do is You're going
(03:06):
to kill parts of it and then other parts of
it don't fit in with those parts of it. Oh
but wait, since you made people stop working, you printed
seven trillion dollars in unbacked currency. The value of your
dollar and my dollar because of COVID is never coming back.
(03:35):
I'm sorry, I wish it was. I've had people ask me, hey, Jesse,
when are things gonna get cheaper again? Because because you remember,
it was just five years ago when you could afford stuff, Jesse,
when am I going to be able to do blank again?
And this will be one of those ones where I'll
get some whiny emails from somebody. Dancy, I don't want
(03:57):
to hear the doc stuff. Grow up. Go talk to
your mommy. We're talking about reality here. Prices aren't going
back down because you can't unprint seven trillion dollars. You
can go back and question why we did it to
begin with it. All that stuff is fine, but nobody
on Earth has the power to unprint seven trillion dollars.
(04:19):
You print seven trillion dollars in unpacked currency and sprints
it into the market, you are going to destroy the
value of the dollar. The value of the dollar has
been destroyed. And nothing Donald Trump can do can change that. Nothing,
nothing Congress could do, nothing can change that. All Right,
(04:40):
that's one dark part of it that can't be undone.
There's another dark part of it, and really I have
a personal hatred for this for a variety of reasons,
which we'll get into. I told you this a while ago,
but maybe you're a new listener and maybe you forgot.
It wasn't a big story. But I had a trade.
I had to take a trip some time ago, six
(05:02):
months ago, I don't remember, to New York City to
go meet with some suits for some business stuff. And
I had an opportunity to sit down for a while
at dinner with a guy who I won't get into
who it is, but he's a guy who had just
come from an ultra high level meeting in California. How
(05:24):
high level the security was through the roof to even
get into the mansion where they held this, and the
company this guy worked for, I think he told me
it was worth eight billion dollars. It was an eight
billion dollar company, and he said I felt insanely out
of place because everyone else was worth infinitely more. So
we're talking the most powerful companies on the planet. And
(05:47):
there was a lot discussed there, but what he walked
away with was this general concept artificial intelligence. It is here,
it's not coming, it's here, and artificial intelligence is going
to wipe out jobs, wipe them out. I'm looking at
(06:08):
a headline from just this morning, Microsoft joins AI driven
tech layoff wave with forty eight hundred job cuts. Look,
I could sit and you don't need me to read
all these headlines to you. You know what they all say,
same thing. Job cuts by the thousand, job cut by
the thousand. I talked to somebody in the tech industry
(06:31):
this morning and she told me that she had left
a major tech company a few years ago. She told
me men and women she knew who were department heads,
over twenty people. Now they were the only one left.
Everything else had gone to that. So those are two things. Look,
(06:52):
we could spend all day assigning blame, but we're not
going to bother. I want to be clear that those
two factors alone, they can't be helped. Really, you can
do a little thing here, a little thing there, they
can't be helped. And going forward, they are going to
make life harder for Americans than Americans are used to.
(07:15):
Americans are used to being able to afford things. They're
certainly used to being able to afford more than they
have now. Specifically, because this is what we're going to
talk about here, younger people, gen Z, if we have
to call it younger people. They're not five.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
They're old enough to remember what their parents could afford.
They're old enough to remember these things, and now they
can't afford anything.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The value of the dollar's been repped. On top of that.
Do you know the percentage of college graduates I read
this this morning who are working a minimum wage job?
College graduates, I said, remember that everyone asked to go
to college. You gotta get a good job. Remember that
fifty two percent of working a minimum wage job fifty
(08:12):
two percent. Because you go to college and you get
that engineering degree or whatever degree it is, and then
you walk out into an economy where AI has made
you virtually obsolete. Don't I'm not trying to paint this
(08:33):
bleak view of where we're at. I'm trying to ground us,
ground me, and ground you in the reality of this.
And this hits home very personally for me. In case
you're wondering why I'm going off on this. I have
a seventeen year old year old young man who's graduating
high school next year, and he doesn't know where he's
going in life. He doesn't know what he's going to do.
(08:54):
And Dad, maybe I can do this. Maybe there's an
opportunity here. And we are already starting to sift through
the opportunities. And man, it's tough out there. I have
a fifteen year old he's a few years away from
that exact same conversation. My sons don't want to sit
at home and be lazy bums. They want a career,
they want to buy a house one day. They want
(09:15):
a wife, they want kids, they want to buy a car.
You know, young men want to go out and provide.
And I'm worried about them. I am. He's telling you
right now. It's doing me. I'm telling you right now,
I'm worried. And part of my worry is this because
of my age. Most of most of my friends and neighbors,
the ones I hang out with, they are people who
(09:37):
have children roughly my son's age, some in high school,
some are in college, some have graduated college, and every
one of them paints an extremely bleak picture of what
the jobs market has been for their child. And some
of these kids are at top schools, Straight A's and Jesse.
(09:58):
We can't get a call back Jesse. She's moving back home.
Jesse's AI is already taking jobs, and AI is going
to get better, more advanced, and I'm very worried about it.
Combine that with inflation, which again we can't put that
toothpaste back in the tube. Those are two enormous things
(10:23):
that nobody can do anything about. But they are crushing
people in this country, crushing people who aren't getting by
and they can't find good work. Now that we talked
about that, we're going to get into some things we
can do and some messaging failure that has to stop now.
Before we get to that, I want to get to this.
(10:46):
Speaking of crushing people, I would invite you to go
look up a story or two about identity theft. I
want you to I want you to look up what
it means when you are victim of identity theft. Right now,
there are criminal gangs around the world on the Internet
trying to get your data. They're trying to hack into
(11:08):
various websites who have your data and they're trying to
get it and if they get it, they're going to
financially destroy you in ways you may never recover from.
That's how brutal it is. They're taking loans out in
your name. You have to try to convince them it's
not yours. You gotta go to court, you gotta you
have to miswork. It is a nightmare. They're emptying your
bank account. Why don't you stop that from starting with LifeLock.
(11:32):
LifeLock has been protecting people like you for a very
very long time. If they happen to get you, LifeLock
has a million dollar protection package that'll fix it. Guarantee
you or your money back. You join now, you save
up the thirty percent off your first year with the
promo code Jesse Call one eight hundred LifeLock or got
to LifeLock dot com promo code Jesse. Terms apply, We'll
(11:57):
be back. He doesn't care if you believe them, but
he's right. Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a fantastic, wonderful Monday. Remember you can email the
show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Average cost of
a July fourth cookout for ten is seven dollars and
(12:20):
thirty eight cents a person increase is consistent with annual inflation.
I could read you data point after data point after
data point. All right, So we covered already the things
that can't be controlled, the two big things, AI an inflation.
All right, those things, they are what they are. Let's
(12:41):
before we go any deeper, let's address one gigantic thing
that can be controlled. Deportating, deportating, deporting people. Headline is
out already. Joe Biden, when he imported twenty million people,
drove up the cost of a house thirty percent in
this country, and drove up the rent twenty percent in
(13:04):
this country. Deport fifty to one hundred million foreigners, and
watch everything, everything in your life become way, way more affordable.
That is something that can be done. In fact, because
you can't fix inflation, you ramp up energy production through
the roof, because energy is money.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And deport foreigners en mass.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You will finally start to deliver real relief for people
in this country. And people need real relief. So I
wanted to clarify there are things we can do that
can help people. Now I'm gonna read something. It's gonna hurt.
That's fine, it should hurt. It sucks. Major national surveys
(13:48):
from The Economist and you gov and Atlas Intel. I
won't go into all the other polling companies, it's every
single one of them, by the way, show a consistent
pattern of collapse, with Trump's net approof among gen Z
falling from positive or moderately negative territory in early twenty
(14:08):
twenty five to deeply negative ratings between negative forty two
and negative seventy six. Let's use the best case scenario there,
and let's assume that, well, we got some bias here
or bias there. We went from a positive when Trump
first was sworn in to forty two points underwater. Let's
(14:34):
get this out of the way first. As I mentioned,
something's Trump can't fix. It's not possible. He can't fix inflation.
He can't. Sorry, he can't fix AI. To be honest
with you, nothing can stop it worldwide. You can't stop
the AI lay. He can't do anything about those two things.
(14:55):
So in a lot of ways, Trump is helpless when
it comes to making life more affordable, making the dream
more obtainable to young Americans. I fully acknowledge there are
things way beyond Trump's control, way beyond it. So if
(15:18):
things are bad and they're beyond your control. What is
in your control? What can you do? How you talk
about it and how you talk to people, how you
discuss these issues is really really important, and I really
(15:39):
need to mention this before I go into anything else.
Something that matters a lot. Corporations. We already read the
stat to you before. Ninety percent of post COVID jobs
have gone to foreigners. America's corporations all see themselves as
international now, and they're not interested in hiring Americans, certainly
not white Americans. They go grab as many foreigners as
(16:01):
they can. That's why the jobs market is just horrible
for Americans now. It's horrible for horrible certainly young Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Older ones.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Don't send me your email. By the way, if you're
fifty five with the four oh one, K, I know
you got it. We're talking about gen Z here. It's
horrible for them. We can't fix inflation, we can't fix AI.
But what we can do is talk to people in
a way that makes it seem like we understand the
(16:32):
jobs market is bad, we understand the economy is bad,
and we're going to work hard to make sure the
American economy is built for Americans and it's going to
deliver for Americans. That means we have to message well,
(16:54):
this is not messaging.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
H one BVISA thing will not be a big priority
for your administration. Cause if you want to raise wages
for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens
of thousands or hundreds of eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
And we also do have to bring in talent.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
When talent we don't I Hey, by the way, credit
to Donald Trump. We always say we want honesty. Donald
Trump will tell you exactly what he's thinking, exactly what's
on his mind. It's never a mystery whether he thinks
your face is ugly or you're lazy and stupid. Donald
(17:29):
Trump is going to tell you that. And that's worth
something to me. Credit to him. That's not what gen
Z wants to hear. Think about this again, because the look,
we're going to get to other things that have been said.
Think about this again, not as you maybe you're not
one of these people, but you're gen Z. You're sitting
(17:50):
at home, you graduated college two years ago, you're working
at Burger King, applying every other month, and then you
turn on the news and hear.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
This H one B vis will not be a big
priority for your administration, because if you want to raise
wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with
tens of thousands or hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And also do have to bring in talent.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
When we got plenty of talent, we don't.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That has to stop. The problem is it's not stopping.
It keeps going, and every day it goes on, we
lose the next generation. I'll continue in a moment. Before
I continue that, I want you to stop dealing with
insurance companies. As a business owner, as an HR manager,
(18:38):
as the one at your company who has to deal
with all these different insurance policies, I want that to stop.
I want you to just go back to doing the
job you want to do, not having to learn about
this policy or that policy. And how often do you
hear from your broker? By the way, once a year
when it's time to renew. Super Sure is the super
(18:58):
agency that will handle all this for you. You know,
you do know that you're over insured in some areas
because you got sold some blanket policy. You also know
you're underinsured in other areas. That's also kind of a
big deal because you got sold some blanket policy. Super
Sure will handle all this for you. They'll give you
a full report on your current policies. By the way,
that comes with no obligation. At least go find out
(19:21):
what you actually have in simple terms you can understand,
then sign up. Then you never have to deal with
it again. Let them deal with all this headache. Supersure
dot com slash Jesse. It's where you go for this.
Supersure dot Com slash Jesse paid for by super Sure
(19:42):
Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I've got on Animoly sign on mean.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yes, Kelly, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a a Fantastic Monday.
If you missed any part of the show and Medal
of Honor Monday, anything else you can download at Iheart's
Spotify iTunes. All right, but back to what we were
talking about, Messaging. Certain things about the economy, the jobs market.
(20:14):
Trump can't do anything about. Other things. He can when
it comes to deportations, but certain things he can't do
anything about. Messaging is really important. Understanding that the jobs
market is horrible, certainly for gen Z, certainly for younger Americans,
is really really really important young people can't afford homes.
(20:35):
I understand what Donald Trump is saying here. I do.
I don't think he's being mean or stupid, but you
can't say this existing housing people that own their homes.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
We're gonna keep them wealthy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We're gonna keep those prices up.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
We're not going to destroy the value of their homes
so that somebody that didn't work very hard can buy
a home.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We'll get to get And I know what he's saying.
I don't want the value of your home to go down,
or my home to go down. It's most people me certainly,
it's most people's biggest asset they'll ever own. It's your home.
You don't want the value of it to go down.
I get what he's saying. Hey, I don't want the
home prices to drop so a bunch of lazies can
(21:18):
afford a house. Now we'll combine that with something that
the Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said over the weekend. And
I think Caroline Levitt is an excellent press secretary. I
think she's not a phenomenal job. And no, I don't
think she should be fired or anything like this. This
(21:39):
is me telling the administration. The messaging, certainly to younger
Americans has got to change. And when I say change,
it has to do a one point eighty. The reason
you have gone from positive to a forty two points
underwater is this stuff. You can't put this stuff on camera.
(22:04):
Do you know how often you're going to hear this
between now and November in democrat.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
As come here right now.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Some of these kids, and I call them kids because
they're in their twenties and they've never had real jobs,
and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive
when you don't have a real job. Do you think
that's getting traction complaining?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, I hate
to say a gen Z and those younger than me
have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths,
just getting everything handed to them. That's not the values
this country was built on. It was built on merit.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No, I do not want to get wiped out in
the mid terms. I don't want to lose the next
generation to the communists. I'm looking at a headline right here.
Gen Z polling favorability ratings Socialism fifty three percent, capitalism
forty five percent, Communism thirty eight percent. We are neck
(23:06):
and neck on losing the next generation to the communists.
I know that you're gonna yell and script, but communism
doesn't work. It'll make everything worse. I know that, and
you know that. If you're a young person and you're
not super politically involved and you went to college, or
you're working hard and you did everything right, and you're
(23:28):
sitting at home and you're frustrated and you're angry by
the prices and the jobs marketing, you can't find anything real,
and you hear Zorn Mandana you go on the air
and tell you that you're getting screwed and somebody needs
to do something about it. Well, I hope you don't
find that message appealing, but you might, and you certainly
(23:48):
might if the alternate messaging is you don't have the talent. Oh,
by the way, on top of that, the reason you
can't find a job, you're a silver you're a spooner
who's lazy to.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Come here right now.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Some of these kids, and I call them kids because
they're in their twenties and they've never had real jobs,
and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive
when you don't have a real job, right do you
think that's getting traction complaining?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, I hate
to say a gen Z and those younger than me
have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths,
just getting everything handed to them. That's not the values
this country was built up.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Remember that article that came out showing, well they were
bragging about it at the time that post Saint George Floyd.
Corporate America dedicated itself to not hiring any white people
and then they did it. Do you know how that
sounds if you're a white man, white woman, have not
(24:49):
gotten a call back? You know why? Maybe your country hired,
maybe your company you hired foreigners, maybe it was some
other DEI higher but they saw your white face, didn't
even bother giving you a phone call. And then you're
told that, hey, I'm glad houses are expensive. We don't
(25:09):
have any talent in this country, and you should stop
being lazy. This is not going to work. The Trump
administration has hemorrhaged the next generation for a year and
a half. Now we need them. We don't want them
(25:34):
to embrace communism, we don't want them to embrace the
politics of destruction. But if we look at all these
young people who are not lazy. I know so many
young people who bust their butts and they did everything right,
and they can't find anything. If we look at these
people who are young, striving, ambitious again, I've got two
(25:57):
boys right there. They don't want to sit in down basement.
They want to go out and make something of themselves.
And we tell them, I'm glad you can't afford a house.
You're not as talented as all the Indians we just
brought in on h one bees. And by the way,
stop being lazy. That's disastrous messaging. And I wanted to play.
(26:20):
I could keep going down the line. By the way,
it is not one person. That's not just Trump, it's
not Caroline Levitt. It's a person after person after person
in the administration has made public statements to this effect.
Quit whining, Quit being lazy. I'm glad home prices are up.
We need more h one bs in. This messaging sucks
(26:42):
and it's got to stop. This has to stop. This
should be a five alarm fire inside the White House
and all hands on deck beating led by Trump that
says this stuff stops now. We are not going to
point fingers and by the way, don't send me your
(27:04):
horrible lame email about how you add some young waitress
this weekend at Chili's who was lazy. I know there
are all kinds of young people who are lazy and stupid.
I'm perfectly aware of that. I also happen to live
in a community where I'm blown away by the quality
of the young people. Blown away at how hard they
(27:26):
work at their jobs at school, how polite they are,
how much they want to do life the right way.
And I'll be honest with you, it makes me a
bit ashamed at how much of a loser I was
at that age. That's how impressed I am with so
many of the young people in my life. Every generation
(27:48):
has turds, every generation has wonderful, hard working people. That
is not my point. My point is the messaging from
the GOP and certainly the White House House cannot be
your lazy bum who's not as talented as the fifteen
Indians we hired to do the job you went to
school for. That won't work. It must stop. I have
(28:13):
said before, I will say it again. The assassination of
Charlie Kirk. It took away our tribune of the plubs,
if you will, to use an old Roman term, we
had a guy right next to Trump, who Trump trusted
and listened to, who had his ear to the ground
(28:33):
of working people and young people. And when Charlie was killed,
we lost that. Now it's billionaire Lutnick and billionaire Bessent
and billionaire at this And there's nothing wrong with billionaires,
there's no problem. But we don't want to hear another
seventy year old tell everybody you're lazy. Hey, get the
h one B's on the phone. Uh huh, Nope, not
(28:55):
gonna work. Gotta stop. All right, We're moving on because
I owe you emails. I've gotten to like one before
I do that. You know what else I did on
Independence Day? I told you I got in the pool.
You know what I wore in the pool? Some six
swim trunks I got from zero Foxtrot. Yeah. I look
like a kickboxer. I mean, not my body, but the
(29:17):
swim trunks did what Chris zero foxtrot is. Look, we
all know there's a lot of really generic patriotic crap
out there. That's not what zero Foxtrot is. Zero Foxtrot
is warrior culture. That's what it is. Military history, old
school field gear. Whatever you are, cop, fireman, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman,
(29:37):
just somebody who likes that stuff. You want tactical gear,
they have it. You want will be blankets, they have it. Rainshell,
we need it in Houston, they got it. Hats shirts.
Zero foxtrot is the warrior culture brand where the stuff
is actually quality. Let me personally say, the Rainshell really
bailed me out. Zero foxtrot dot com code Jesse gets
(30:02):
you twenty percent off the entire site. Oh look at
their water bottles by the way, like the carrying case
on it. It's sick. Zero foxtrot dot com code Jesse,
we'll be back. What Chris, we can make jokes. It's fine,
we get that right.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Monday. I shall return tomorrow.
Don't worry. You can email the show your love, your hate,
your death threats to Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
Let me get to some of those before we wrap
things up here. Jesse, I'm sure you can understand why
(30:42):
GOP senators won't even attempt to pass the Save Act
they would have to show up every day and talk.
It's again, it's not that and I'm sorry. I know
it made people mad when I said it, but it's
not your mommy's show. The Save Act is not going
to pass. Yeah. I do think in the future we
(31:04):
will get the Senate to pass it. I do. We're
gonna have to win some elections. We're gonna have to
win some primaries. I think we're going to get there.
This Senate is not going to pass it. We simply
don't have leverage over the senators who won't pass it.
Have you heard, and I know you probably have, excuse
(31:25):
me told you throat, Have you heard of a whip?
Not the Indiana Jones type. I'm talking in the House
of Representatives or the Senate, the whip. The whip to
be the whip is a very high ranking job in
the Senate or the House of Representatives, but kind of
(31:45):
a weird name. The whip. What's he do? Well, it's
just what the name says. His job when the when
the leadership wants something done, he needs to go whip
the votes. Now, how does that work? Whip the votes? Well, okay,
(32:08):
so I've got this senator who won't pass a Save Act.
Real dirtball. We'll call him Chris. Go to I wasn't
talking about you, Chris. I go to Chris's office. I
have two options. He's a United States Senator and I
need his vote. It's the old uh Pablo Escobar, what
(32:29):
is it? Plateau or plomo thing. You can have my silver,
you can have my lead. I either can threaten Chris
with something or I can bribe him with something. Bribery
is generally legal, and they do it in this way. Hey, Chris,
you are let's assume he's from Texas. You're a senator
(32:51):
from Texas. You don't want the Save Act? What if
we made it as part of the bill, one hundred
million dollars for a couple new airports in Texas. We'll
name them after you. We'll get we'll get federal funding.
You can be the senator who brought home the bacon
(33:12):
for Okay, that's how legalized bribery looks. I know this
is really gross, but it's true that the whip's job
is to go do that. Now, maybe that doesn't work. Hey, Chris,
you know I've got my eye on some young hotshot
politician in Texas. We are thinking about throwing a bunch
(33:33):
of money his way to maybe run against you in
a primary. It will be a shame if you didn't
vote for the Save Act. Chris. That's the kind of
thing that might make me back your primary challenger. Again,
this is the job of the whip. That's why he's
the whip. But what if Chris was retiring in two months?
(34:00):
What am I going to do? Hey, Chris, how about
some airport money. I'll be retired by the time they
break round. Well, what about a primary challenger? Don't care
I'm leaving. I'll be at my lake house. You can't
whip them. There's nothing left to whip. It's an impossible task. Jessie,
(34:26):
I've only been a listener for maybe the last six months.
Love your show. One thing I have to bring up, though,
a few months ago, you said that real change isn't
a big, flashy, one time event. To really change the
direction of the country, we have to do stuff that's
boring and go to sleepy, monthly town committee meetings, listen
(34:47):
to someone drone on about some minor point, shake hands
with the guy running for dog catcher, etc. But you
are absolutely correct that is in fact how we make
a real impact. I've seen it first hand myself. We
recently had a state convention. We soundly defeated the well
funded Rhino candidate for governor. When he took the stage,
(35:08):
the people in the nosebleed sections were calling out Rhino
to the peals of laughter from the delegates out of
earshot to the candidate. He went down in flames not
long after. Please repeat the message again and again. I
wanted to repeat this message tonight because we need to understand.
As I have said, saving the country is not going
(35:32):
to happen with the speed you wanted to happen. The
country's too big, the corruption is too deep. It doesn't
look like that. It's not an event. It will be
doing the blocking and tackling that crowds these communists out
of our country. Yeah, the Zoron Mandani's of the world. Yes,
they are on the rise. There's no question about that.
(35:54):
They are not inevitable. If you and I continue to
dig in at boor Ving, local town meetings, school board meeting,
things like this, continue to do the blocking and tackling
that wins elections, we will stop these people. They will
slam into the red wall we have put up and
they will fail in their revolution. They are not inevitable,
(36:18):
they are ravenous. They are most definitely committed, and they
are gonna chew the Democrat Party up and spit them out.
The Democrat Party just has no answer for these people whatsoever.
I mean, they're all taking the same line. Ah, it's
a big tap.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Some of the party's biggest primary victories recently New York
now Colorado have gone to candidates running more progressive agenda.
I mean, are you concerned that the left is gaining
power in your party?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I'm of the opinion that we are a big ten party.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
We've always been a big ten party.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Every one of them are saying the same thing for
a reason. All of them they're done. Just because the
Democrat Party is done doesn't mean the country is what
will stop it. You. It's not gonna be a United
States senator. Most of those guys are goober dorks anyway,
(37:08):
who are corrupt and all those other things. You me.
Shoot even Chris No, seriously, Chris got involved locally. He's
involved to local politics, got up hands and feet, got involved.
Freaking proud of him. Go do likewise. Now, remember if
you missed our revolutionary war history thing the Maryland four
(37:29):
hundred Monday and Tuesday's show of last week is Where
You Go for that. The podcast is on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes.
We will return tomorrow to do it again and every
day this week. I'm barring some maybe this building floods again.
Otherwise I think we should be fine. That's all
This is a Jesse Kelly Show, The Jesse Kelly Show.
Final hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Monday.
So this hour, here's what we're in store for. It's
gonna take me a little bit to get probably all
the way done with this one, but we're gonna talk
(00:31):
about messaging why it matters in the White House is
missing the mark big time and has been missing the
mark big time with something and it's it's being really damaging.
So we're about to talk about that. Then we'll get
to some emails and maybe some other things, but I
wanted to address it first. I wanted to talk about this.
(00:54):
There is something going on, or a couple of things,
a couple of big things going on, and these big
things that are going on are really out of anybody's control.
Now you can attempt to mitigate how bad it is,
but there are things that are so big, so global,
(01:15):
so universal, that nobody, certainly no president or even Congress
or anything, can fix them. And we need to be
fair because we're about to have a talk about the
economy and jobs and things like that. There are things
we can do and things we can fix, and then
there are things that are simply unfixable at this point
(01:36):
in time. Let's get the unfixables out of the way first,
shall we. We don't have to cover it all because
you know the story quite well. But when COVID happened
and we decided, not just us, the world did it.
I just I's still marvel at it. But the world
(01:58):
decided to stop its economy on purpose. I've never even
heard of anything like that before. And I've heard of
quarantines and things, but countries telling you know, their merchants,
their businesses, hey, don't do anything anymore. I just don't
think I've ever heard of it in my life. But
we did it all. Right, Now, we need to pause
(02:22):
for a second. Remember that we have a twenty trillion
dollar economy. Roughly, there are more moving parts in pieces
in a twenty trillion dollar economy than you or me
or the smartest people in the world could ever possibly understand.
Because this moving part works with that, and moves with that,
(02:43):
and moves at that and movement. You understand, if you
stop it for even a day, you're going to cause
some headaches that you just are. You stop it for
a month, four months, six month, you stop it for
long enough? What you're going to do is You're going
(03:06):
to kill parts of it and then other parts of
it don't fit in with those parts of it. Oh
but wait, since you made people stop working, you printed
seven trillion dollars in unbacked currency. The value of your
dollar and my dollar because of COVID is never coming back.
(03:35):
I'm sorry, I wish it was. I've had people ask me, hey, Jesse,
when are things gonna get cheaper again? Because because you remember,
it was just five years ago when you could afford stuff, Jesse,
when am I going to be able to do blank again?
And this will be one of those ones where I'll
get some whiny emails from somebody. Dancy, I don't want
(03:57):
to hear the doc stuff. Grow up. Go talk to
your mommy. We're talking about reality here. Prices aren't going
back down because you can't unprint seven trillion dollars. You
can go back and question why we did it to
begin with it. All that stuff is fine, but nobody
on Earth has the power to unprint seven trillion dollars.
(04:19):
You print seven trillion dollars in unpacked currency and sprints
it into the market, you are going to destroy the
value of the dollar. The value of the dollar has
been destroyed. And nothing Donald Trump can do can change that. Nothing,
nothing Congress could do, nothing can change that. All Right,
(04:40):
that's one dark part of it that can't be undone.
There's another dark part of it, and really I have
a personal hatred for this for a variety of reasons,
which we'll get into. I told you this a while ago,
but maybe you're a new listener and maybe you forgot.
It wasn't a big story. But I had a trade.
I had to take a trip some time ago, six
(05:02):
months ago, I don't remember, to New York City to
go meet with some suits for some business stuff. And
I had an opportunity to sit down for a while
at dinner with a guy who I won't get into
who it is, but he's a guy who had just
come from an ultra high level meeting in California. How
(05:24):
high level the security was through the roof to even
get into the mansion where they held this, and the
company this guy worked for, I think he told me
it was worth eight billion dollars. It was an eight
billion dollar company, and he said I felt insanely out
of place because everyone else was worth infinitely more. So
we're talking the most powerful companies on the planet. And
(05:47):
there was a lot discussed there, but what he walked
away with was this general concept artificial intelligence. It is here,
it's not coming, it's here, and artificial intelligence is going
to wipe out jobs, wipe them out. I'm looking at
(06:08):
a headline from just this morning, Microsoft joins AI driven
tech layoff wave with forty eight hundred job cuts. Look,
I could sit and you don't need me to read
all these headlines to you. You know what they all say,
same thing. Job cuts by the thousand, job cut by
the thousand. I talked to somebody in the tech industry
(06:31):
this morning and she told me that she had left
a major tech company a few years ago. She told
me men and women she knew who were department heads,
over twenty people. Now they were the only one left.
Everything else had gone to that. So those are two things. Look,
(06:52):
we could spend all day assigning blame, but we're not
going to bother. I want to be clear that those
two factors alone, they can't be helped. Really, you can
do a little thing here, a little thing there, they
can't be helped. And going forward, they are going to
make life harder for Americans than Americans are used to.
(07:15):
Americans are used to being able to afford things. They're
certainly used to being able to afford more than they
have now. Specifically, because this is what we're going to
talk about here, younger people, gen Z, if we have
to call it younger people. They're not five.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
They're old enough to remember what their parents could afford.
They're old enough to remember these things, and now they
can't afford anything.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The value of the dollar's been repped. On top of that.
Do you know the percentage of college graduates I read
this this morning who are working a minimum wage job?
College graduates, I said, remember that everyone asked to go
to college. You gotta get a good job. Remember that
fifty two percent of working a minimum wage job fifty
(08:12):
two percent. Because you go to college and you get
that engineering degree or whatever degree it is, and then
you walk out into an economy where AI has made
you virtually obsolete. Don't I'm not trying to paint this
(08:33):
bleak view of where we're at. I'm trying to ground us,
ground me, and ground you in the reality of this.
And this hits home very personally for me. In case
you're wondering why I'm going off on this. I have
a seventeen year old year old young man who's graduating
high school next year, and he doesn't know where he's
going in life. He doesn't know what he's going to do.
(08:54):
And Dad, maybe I can do this. Maybe there's an
opportunity here. And we are already starting to sift through
the opportunities. And man, it's tough out there. I have
a fifteen year old he's a few years away from
that exact same conversation. My sons don't want to sit
at home and be lazy bums. They want a career,
they want to buy a house one day. They want
(09:15):
a wife, they want kids, they want to buy a car.
You know, young men want to go out and provide.
And I'm worried about them. I am. He's telling you
right now. It's doing me. I'm telling you right now,
I'm worried. And part of my worry is this because
of my age. Most of most of my friends and neighbors,
the ones I hang out with, they are people who
(09:37):
have children roughly my son's age, some in high school,
some are in college, some have graduated college, and every
one of them paints an extremely bleak picture of what
the jobs market has been for their child. And some
of these kids are at top schools, Straight A's and Jesse.
(09:58):
We can't get a call back Jesse. She's moving back home.
Jesse's AI is already taking jobs, and AI is going
to get better, more advanced, and I'm very worried about it.
Combine that with inflation, which again we can't put that
toothpaste back in the tube. Those are two enormous things
(10:23):
that nobody can do anything about. But they are crushing
people in this country, crushing people who aren't getting by
and they can't find good work. Now that we talked
about that, we're going to get into some things we
can do and some messaging failure that has to stop now.
Before we get to that, I want to get to this.
(10:46):
Speaking of crushing people, I would invite you to go
look up a story or two about identity theft. I
want you to I want you to look up what
it means when you are victim of identity theft. Right now,
there are criminal gangs around the world on the Internet
trying to get your data. They're trying to hack into
(11:08):
various websites who have your data and they're trying to
get it and if they get it, they're going to
financially destroy you in ways you may never recover from.
That's how brutal it is. They're taking loans out in
your name. You have to try to convince them it's
not yours. You gotta go to court, you gotta you
have to miswork. It is a nightmare. They're emptying your
bank account. Why don't you stop that from starting with LifeLock.
(11:32):
LifeLock has been protecting people like you for a very
very long time. If they happen to get you, LifeLock
has a million dollar protection package that'll fix it. Guarantee
you or your money back. You join now, you save
up the thirty percent off your first year with the
promo code Jesse Call one eight hundred LifeLock or got
to LifeLock dot com promo code Jesse. Terms apply, We'll
(11:57):
be back. He doesn't care if you believe them, but
he's right. Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show
on a fantastic, wonderful Monday. Remember you can email the
show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Average cost of
a July fourth cookout for ten is seven dollars and
(12:20):
thirty eight cents a person increase is consistent with annual inflation.
I could read you data point after data point after
data point. All right, So we covered already the things
that can't be controlled, the two big things, AI an inflation.
All right, those things, they are what they are. Let's
(12:41):
before we go any deeper, let's address one gigantic thing
that can be controlled. Deportating, deportating, deporting people. Headline is
out already. Joe Biden, when he imported twenty million people,
drove up the cost of a house thirty percent in
this country, and drove up the rent twenty percent in
(13:04):
this country. Deport fifty to one hundred million foreigners, and
watch everything, everything in your life become way, way more affordable.
That is something that can be done. In fact, because
you can't fix inflation, you ramp up energy production through
the roof, because energy is money.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And deport foreigners en mass.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You will finally start to deliver real relief for people
in this country. And people need real relief. So I
wanted to clarify there are things we can do that
can help people. Now I'm gonna read something. It's gonna hurt.
That's fine, it should hurt. It sucks. Major national surveys
(13:48):
from The Economist and you gov and Atlas Intel. I
won't go into all the other polling companies, it's every
single one of them, by the way, show a consistent
pattern of collapse, with Trump's net approof among gen Z
falling from positive or moderately negative territory in early twenty
(14:08):
twenty five to deeply negative ratings between negative forty two
and negative seventy six. Let's use the best case scenario there,
and let's assume that, well, we got some bias here
or bias there. We went from a positive when Trump
first was sworn in to forty two points underwater. Let's
(14:34):
get this out of the way first. As I mentioned,
something's Trump can't fix. It's not possible. He can't fix inflation.
He can't. Sorry, he can't fix AI. To be honest
with you, nothing can stop it worldwide. You can't stop
the AI lay. He can't do anything about those two things.
(14:55):
So in a lot of ways, Trump is helpless when
it comes to making life more affordable, making the dream
more obtainable to young Americans. I fully acknowledge there are
things way beyond Trump's control, way beyond it. So if
(15:18):
things are bad and they're beyond your control. What is
in your control? What can you do? How you talk
about it and how you talk to people, how you
discuss these issues is really really important, and I really
(15:39):
need to mention this before I go into anything else.
Something that matters a lot. Corporations. We already read the
stat to you before. Ninety percent of post COVID jobs
have gone to foreigners. America's corporations all see themselves as
international now, and they're not interested in hiring Americans, certainly
not white Americans. They go grab as many foreigners as
(16:01):
they can. That's why the jobs market is just horrible
for Americans now. It's horrible for horrible certainly young Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Older ones.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Don't send me your email. By the way, if you're
fifty five with the four oh one, K, I know
you got it. We're talking about gen Z here. It's
horrible for them. We can't fix inflation, we can't fix AI.
But what we can do is talk to people in
a way that makes it seem like we understand the
(16:32):
jobs market is bad, we understand the economy is bad,
and we're going to work hard to make sure the
American economy is built for Americans and it's going to
deliver for Americans. That means we have to message well,
(16:54):
this is not messaging.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
H one BVISA thing will not be a big priority
for your administration. Cause if you want to raise wages
for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens
of thousands or hundreds of eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
And we also do have to bring in talent.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
When talent we don't I Hey, by the way, credit
to Donald Trump. We always say we want honesty. Donald
Trump will tell you exactly what he's thinking, exactly what's
on his mind. It's never a mystery whether he thinks
your face is ugly or you're lazy and stupid. Donald
(17:29):
Trump is going to tell you that. And that's worth
something to me. Credit to him. That's not what gen
Z wants to hear. Think about this again, because the look,
we're going to get to other things that have been said.
Think about this again, not as you maybe you're not
one of these people, but you're gen Z. You're sitting
(17:50):
at home, you graduated college two years ago, you're working
at Burger King, applying every other month, and then you
turn on the news and hear.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
This H one B vis will not be a big
priority for your administration, because if you want to raise
wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with
tens of thousands or hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And also do have to bring in talent.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
When we got plenty of talent, we don't.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That has to stop. The problem is it's not stopping.
It keeps going, and every day it goes on, we
lose the next generation. I'll continue in a moment. Before
I continue that, I want you to stop dealing with
insurance companies. As a business owner, as an HR manager,
(18:38):
as the one at your company who has to deal
with all these different insurance policies, I want that to stop.
I want you to just go back to doing the
job you want to do, not having to learn about
this policy or that policy. And how often do you
hear from your broker? By the way, once a year
when it's time to renew. Super Sure is the super
(18:58):
agency that will handle all this for you. You know,
you do know that you're over insured in some areas
because you got sold some blanket policy. You also know
you're underinsured in other areas. That's also kind of a
big deal because you got sold some blanket policy. Super
Sure will handle all this for you. They'll give you
a full report on your current policies. By the way,
that comes with no obligation. At least go find out
(19:21):
what you actually have in simple terms you can understand,
then sign up. Then you never have to deal with
it again. Let them deal with all this headache. Supersure
dot com slash Jesse. It's where you go for this.
Supersure dot Com slash Jesse paid for by super Sure
(19:42):
Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I've got on Animoly sign on mean.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yes, Kelly, you're listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. It
is the Jesse Kelly Show on a a Fantastic Monday.
If you missed any part of the show and Medal
of Honor Monday, anything else you can download at Iheart's
Spotify iTunes. All right, but back to what we were
talking about, Messaging. Certain things about the economy, the jobs market.
(20:14):
Trump can't do anything about. Other things. He can when
it comes to deportations, but certain things he can't do
anything about. Messaging is really important. Understanding that the jobs
market is horrible, certainly for gen Z, certainly for younger Americans,
is really really really important young people can't afford homes.
(20:35):
I understand what Donald Trump is saying here. I do.
I don't think he's being mean or stupid, but you
can't say this existing housing people that own their homes.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
We're gonna keep them wealthy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
We're gonna keep those prices up.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
We're not going to destroy the value of their homes
so that somebody that didn't work very hard can buy
a home.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We'll get to get And I know what he's saying.
I don't want the value of your home to go down,
or my home to go down. It's most people me certainly,
it's most people's biggest asset they'll ever own. It's your home.
You don't want the value of it to go down.
I get what he's saying. Hey, I don't want the
home prices to drop so a bunch of lazies can
(21:18):
afford a house. Now we'll combine that with something that
the Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said over the weekend. And
I think Caroline Levitt is an excellent press secretary. I
think she's not a phenomenal job. And no, I don't
think she should be fired or anything like this. This
(21:39):
is me telling the administration. The messaging, certainly to younger
Americans has got to change. And when I say change,
it has to do a one point eighty. The reason
you have gone from positive to a forty two points
underwater is this stuff. You can't put this stuff on camera.
(22:04):
Do you know how often you're going to hear this
between now and November in democrat.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
As come here right now.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Some of these kids, and I call them kids because
they're in their twenties and they've never had real jobs,
and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive
when you don't have a real job. Do you think
that's getting traction complaining?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, I hate
to say a gen Z and those younger than me
have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths,
just getting everything handed to them. That's not the values
this country was built on. It was built on merit.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No, I do not want to get wiped out in
the mid terms. I don't want to lose the next
generation to the communists. I'm looking at a headline right here.
Gen Z polling favorability ratings Socialism fifty three percent, capitalism
forty five percent, Communism thirty eight percent. We are neck
(23:06):
and neck on losing the next generation to the communists.
I know that you're gonna yell and script, but communism
doesn't work. It'll make everything worse. I know that, and
you know that. If you're a young person and you're
not super politically involved and you went to college, or
you're working hard and you did everything right, and you're
(23:28):
sitting at home and you're frustrated and you're angry by
the prices and the jobs marketing, you can't find anything real,
and you hear Zorn Mandana you go on the air
and tell you that you're getting screwed and somebody needs
to do something about it. Well, I hope you don't
find that message appealing, but you might, and you certainly
(23:48):
might if the alternate messaging is you don't have the talent. Oh,
by the way, on top of that, the reason you
can't find a job, you're a silver you're a spooner
who's lazy to.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Come here right now.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Some of these kids, and I call them kids because
they're in their twenties and they've never had real jobs,
and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive
when you don't have a real job, right do you
think that's getting traction complaining?
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, I hate
to say a gen Z and those younger than me
have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths,
just getting everything handed to them. That's not the values
this country was built up.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Remember that article that came out showing, well they were
bragging about it at the time that post Saint George Floyd.
Corporate America dedicated itself to not hiring any white people
and then they did it. Do you know how that
sounds if you're a white man, white woman, have not
(24:49):
gotten a call back? You know why? Maybe your country hired,
maybe your company you hired foreigners, maybe it was some
other DEI higher but they saw your white face, didn't
even bother giving you a phone call. And then you're
told that, hey, I'm glad houses are expensive. We don't
(25:09):
have any talent in this country, and you should stop
being lazy. This is not going to work. The Trump
administration has hemorrhaged the next generation for a year and
a half. Now we need them. We don't want them
(25:34):
to embrace communism, we don't want them to embrace the
politics of destruction. But if we look at all these
young people who are not lazy. I know so many
young people who bust their butts and they did everything right,
and they can't find anything. If we look at these
people who are young, striving, ambitious again, I've got two
(25:57):
boys right there. They don't want to sit in down basement.
They want to go out and make something of themselves.
And we tell them, I'm glad you can't afford a house.
You're not as talented as all the Indians we just
brought in on h one bees. And by the way,
stop being lazy. That's disastrous messaging. And I wanted to play.
(26:20):
I could keep going down the line. By the way,
it is not one person. That's not just Trump, it's
not Caroline Levitt. It's a person after person after person
in the administration has made public statements to this effect.
Quit whining, Quit being lazy. I'm glad home prices are up.
We need more h one bs in. This messaging sucks
(26:42):
and it's got to stop. This has to stop. This
should be a five alarm fire inside the White House
and all hands on deck beating led by Trump that
says this stuff stops now. We are not going to
point fingers and by the way, don't send me your
(27:04):
horrible lame email about how you add some young waitress
this weekend at Chili's who was lazy. I know there
are all kinds of young people who are lazy and stupid.
I'm perfectly aware of that. I also happen to live
in a community where I'm blown away by the quality
of the young people. Blown away at how hard they
(27:26):
work at their jobs at school, how polite they are,
how much they want to do life the right way.
And I'll be honest with you, it makes me a
bit ashamed at how much of a loser I was
at that age. That's how impressed I am with so
many of the young people in my life. Every generation
(27:48):
has turds, every generation has wonderful, hard working people. That
is not my point. My point is the messaging from
the GOP and certainly the White House House cannot be
your lazy bum who's not as talented as the fifteen
Indians we hired to do the job you went to
school for. That won't work. It must stop. I have
(28:13):
said before, I will say it again. The assassination of
Charlie Kirk. It took away our tribune of the plubs,
if you will, to use an old Roman term, we
had a guy right next to Trump, who Trump trusted
and listened to, who had his ear to the ground
(28:33):
of working people and young people. And when Charlie was killed,
we lost that. Now it's billionaire Lutnick and billionaire Bessent
and billionaire at this And there's nothing wrong with billionaires,
there's no problem. But we don't want to hear another
seventy year old tell everybody you're lazy. Hey, get the
h one B's on the phone. Uh huh, Nope, not
(28:55):
gonna work. Gotta stop. All right, We're moving on because
I owe you emails. I've gotten to like one before
I do that. You know what else I did on
Independence Day? I told you I got in the pool.
You know what I wore in the pool? Some six
swim trunks I got from zero Foxtrot. Yeah. I look
like a kickboxer. I mean, not my body, but the
(29:17):
swim trunks did what Chris zero foxtrot is. Look, we
all know there's a lot of really generic patriotic crap
out there. That's not what zero Foxtrot is. Zero Foxtrot
is warrior culture. That's what it is. Military history, old
school field gear. Whatever you are, cop, fireman, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman,
(29:37):
just somebody who likes that stuff. You want tactical gear,
they have it. You want will be blankets, they have it. Rainshell,
we need it in Houston, they got it. Hats shirts.
Zero foxtrot is the warrior culture brand where the stuff
is actually quality. Let me personally say, the Rainshell really
bailed me out. Zero foxtrot dot com code Jesse gets
(30:02):
you twenty percent off the entire site. Oh look at
their water bottles by the way, like the carrying case
on it. It's sick. Zero foxtrot dot com code Jesse,
we'll be back. What Chris, we can make jokes. It's fine,
we get that right.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show on a spectacular Monday. I shall return tomorrow.
Don't worry. You can email the show your love, your hate,
your death threats to Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
Let me get to some of those before we wrap
things up here. Jesse, I'm sure you can understand why
(30:42):
GOP senators won't even attempt to pass the Save Act
they would have to show up every day and talk.
It's again, it's not that and I'm sorry. I know
it made people mad when I said it, but it's
not your mommy's show. The Save Act is not going
to pass. Yeah. I do think in the future we
(31:04):
will get the Senate to pass it. I do. We're
gonna have to win some elections. We're gonna have to
win some primaries. I think we're going to get there.
This Senate is not going to pass it. We simply
don't have leverage over the senators who won't pass it.
Have you heard, and I know you probably have, excuse
(31:25):
me told you throat, Have you heard of a whip?
Not the Indiana Jones type. I'm talking in the House
of Representatives or the Senate, the whip. The whip to
be the whip is a very high ranking job in
the Senate or the House of Representatives, but kind of
(31:45):
a weird name. The whip. What's he do? Well, it's
just what the name says. His job when the when
the leadership wants something done, he needs to go whip
the votes. Now, how does that work? Whip the votes? Well, okay,
(32:08):
so I've got this senator who won't pass a Save Act.
Real dirtball. We'll call him Chris. Go to I wasn't
talking about you, Chris. I go to Chris's office. I
have two options. He's a United States Senator and I
need his vote. It's the old uh Pablo Escobar, what
(32:29):
is it? Plateau or plomo thing. You can have my silver,
you can have my lead. I either can threaten Chris
with something or I can bribe him with something. Bribery
is generally legal, and they do it in this way. Hey, Chris,
you are let's assume he's from Texas. You're a senator
(32:51):
from Texas. You don't want the Save Act? What if
we made it as part of the bill, one hundred
million dollars for a couple new airports in Texas. We'll
name them after you. We'll get we'll get federal funding.
You can be the senator who brought home the bacon
(33:12):
for Okay, that's how legalized bribery looks. I know this
is really gross, but it's true that the whip's job
is to go do that. Now, maybe that doesn't work. Hey, Chris,
you know I've got my eye on some young hotshot
politician in Texas. We are thinking about throwing a bunch
(33:33):
of money his way to maybe run against you in
a primary. It will be a shame if you didn't
vote for the Save Act. Chris. That's the kind of
thing that might make me back your primary challenger. Again,
this is the job of the whip. That's why he's
the whip. But what if Chris was retiring in two months?
(34:00):
What am I going to do? Hey, Chris, how about
some airport money. I'll be retired by the time they
break round. Well, what about a primary challenger? Don't care
I'm leaving. I'll be at my lake house. You can't
whip them. There's nothing left to whip. It's an impossible task. Jessie,
(34:26):
I've only been a listener for maybe the last six months.
Love your show. One thing I have to bring up, though,
a few months ago, you said that real change isn't
a big, flashy, one time event. To really change the
direction of the country, we have to do stuff that's
boring and go to sleepy, monthly town committee meetings, listen
(34:47):
to someone drone on about some minor point, shake hands
with the guy running for dog catcher, etc. But you
are absolutely correct that is in fact how we make
a real impact. I've seen it first hand myself. We
recently had a state convention. We soundly defeated the well
funded Rhino candidate for governor. When he took the stage,
(35:08):
the people in the nosebleed sections were calling out Rhino
to the peals of laughter from the delegates out of
earshot to the candidate. He went down in flames not
long after. Please repeat the message again and again. I
wanted to repeat this message tonight because we need to understand.
As I have said, saving the country is not going
(35:32):
to happen with the speed you wanted to happen. The
country's too big, the corruption is too deep. It doesn't
look like that. It's not an event. It will be
doing the blocking and tackling that crowds these communists out
of our country. Yeah, the Zoron Mandani's of the world. Yes,
they are on the rise. There's no question about that.
(35:54):
They are not inevitable. If you and I continue to
dig in at boor Ving, local town meetings, school board meeting,
things like this, continue to do the blocking and tackling
that wins elections, we will stop these people. They will
slam into the red wall we have put up and
they will fail in their revolution. They are not inevitable,
(36:18):
they are ravenous. They are most definitely committed, and they
are gonna chew the Democrat Party up and spit them out.
The Democrat Party just has no answer for these people whatsoever.
I mean, they're all taking the same line. Ah, it's
a big tap.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Some of the party's biggest primary victories recently New York
now Colorado have gone to candidates running more progressive agenda.
I mean, are you concerned that the left is gaining
power in your party?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I'm of the opinion that we are a big ten party.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
We've always been a big ten party.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Every one of them are saying the same thing for
a reason. All of them they're done. Just because the
Democrat Party is done doesn't mean the country is what
will stop it. You. It's not gonna be a United
States senator. Most of those guys are goober dorks anyway,
(37:08):
who are corrupt and all those other things. You me.
Shoot even Chris No, seriously, Chris got involved locally. He's
involved to local politics, got up hands and feet, got involved.
Freaking proud of him. Go do likewise. Now, remember if
you missed our revolutionary war history thing the Maryland four
(37:29):
hundred Monday and Tuesday's show of last week is Where
You Go for that. The podcast is on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes.
We will return tomorrow to do it again and every
day this week. I'm barring some maybe this building floods again.
Otherwise I think we should be fine. That's all
