Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show Final hour that Jesse
Kelly Show. Selena Zito joined us like a half hour
from now. That'll be fun. We'll talk about some boots
on the ground politics stuff. We're going to get to
why we need powerful friends here in a minute. Talk
about a traditional Catholic family being attacked, of course by
(00:36):
the FBI. Might want to pay attention to that one.
But first I want to finish this email and then
we'll talk about these powerful friends. This is an email
about debates. The rules should be obvious. This lady says,
why can't each candidate get an equal amount of time
to speak? In total? If someone plows into the next
(00:57):
candidate's time with the technique so able to demonstrated by Hillary,
why isn't that over time subtracted from the remainder of
the time A lotted to them, the mic should go
dead when you're out of time? Do the moderators just
want verbal hockey fights? So on to say, Okay, listen,
here's the problem with I was gonna say with politics,
(01:21):
but it can be a problem with life in general.
But let's just focus on politics for the time being.
And this is going to be a problem for you.
It most definitely has been a problem for me. People
who genuinely believe and are in the fight for the
right reasons, the right reasons, they are going to find
(01:45):
themselves very frustrated with people around them who are in
it for reasons that are different. What's a great example
of this, You know what, campaigning, here's a great example.
I ran for Congress, lost twice. I ran for Congress,
and whenever you run for Congress, you will get various
(02:07):
people who will become part of your campaign. Most of
them are actually volunteers. You know, you have some paid
people on a campaign, but most of them are volunteers.
I had a lot of true believers in as my
volunteers really believed in America and the right and doing
what was right and things like that. But that wasn't
(02:29):
all the volunteers we had. I remember we had one
night where we were doing a bunch of phone banking.
Just stay with me, I'm going somewhere where we were
doing a bunch of phone banking, and so they were
putting out the call for volunteers. We needed volunteers to
come down fill up the campaign office's office we had
the phones ready to go. We needed people to come
in and dial up. Hey wait, we needed to come
(02:51):
vote for Jesse. That kind of thing, all right, right.
We had a bunch of true believers at that thing. Also,
they put out the word on the local college campus
that that's what we were doing. And we had a
bunch of people who showed up that night, and they
(03:11):
actually were just there to hit on the opposite sex.
They were there to try to date the girls. The
dudes were there trying to date the dimes that showed up.
The dimes were there trying to pick up a date.
And again I'm not blaming them, but this turned into
a very many little controversy in the office that night.
When I got there, I'd been out campaigning. I got there.
Why because the true believers were frustrated to no end
(03:35):
that they're not even working as hard as I'm working.
They're over there flirting with each other, Jesse. They're not
doing anything. The true believer, like you, like me, will
often be frustrated by the fact many people around us,
many people involved in our movement, are not true believers.
In fact, I would argue most are not. What does
(03:57):
this have to do with debates when you sit down
to watch a debate. In fact, me and producer Michael
were just talking about this during the break. When you
sit down to watch a debate, it's important for you
and me to get that we are not normal and
that other people will not see what we see. When
I sit down and I watch a debate, what do
(04:18):
I want to hear. I want to hear you make
your points. I want to hear counterpoints, argue with each other.
But I want to hear facts, logic, truth. I want
to hear this plan and this plan, and that plan
and that plan. I don't care about the fluff. I
actually don't care about the name calling. I don't care
about any of that. Give me the yes, give me
the no. But that's not how normal people watch a debate.
(04:41):
Normal people watch it to be entertained. The moderators in
a debate. You ask why they don't just cut off
microphones here and cut off there. Well, I'm not indicting
every moderator of every debate, but most of these moderators
in these debates, who are they? Who are they? They're
media people? How do media people make their living? Look,
(05:04):
I'm a media person. I'm pointing fingers right here. How
do I make my living? I need more people listening
to my radio show and watching my TV show. You know,
I have a TV show every night at nine pm
Eastern on the first TV. I need more people buying
my book. I need That's how I make a paycheck.
That is now, now that I do this for a living,
(05:26):
that's my living. The people who sit down and do
the debates, they want a different thing than the true
believer wants. They want eyeballs, they want prestige, they want
their brand to grow. In fact, let's go deeper than that.
Most of the candidates they're not there for the country.
(05:50):
In fact, most of them aren't even there to win.
They don't have any intention of winning. They're there to
make a splash. Maybe get out of my house, get
away from the life for a couple nights, first class
travel across the country. Your brand is getting bigger as
you be interviewed on TV. And this applies to every
(06:11):
single level of politics. Maybe you look again, I was
talking about I'm going through this. I've got a couple
people in this business who I know and admire, and
I have been disappointed with, to put it mildly, watching
them turn into soulless sellouts for ratings. It has been
(06:39):
eye opening for me. And look, you can you can
do or say anything to get people to listen and
stay listening. But people who I know feel the exact
opposite about this issue or that issue, abortion or the
border or this, and yet they'll come out and they'll
express something on the air completely opposite to what I
(07:03):
know they feel inside. Only for ratings. And I will
tell you I've actually been talking to my wife about this.
I've been talking to Jewish producer Chris about it, Michael
about it. It's been eating at me a lot. I
hate it. It drives me up the wall. But that look,
that was a long way of me saying to you,
(07:26):
as someone who is a true believer, and I'm glad
you are the way you are. Don't ever change, all right,
don't ever change. But as someone who is a true believer,
you are going to be frustrated a lot by people
in your movement, in our movement, who don't actually believe
they're in it for I don't know. They want to date,
(07:47):
they want to date somebody that like down at the
campaign office. They want fame, they want fortune, they want this,
They want that, they want a job in the governor's office,
they want that, a million and one things they want
that are not legit. Now, that actually leads me perfectly
into this. We shouldn't as true believers, we should not
(08:15):
reject the help of people who maybe want to help
for reasons that are not always good. We have to
be very careful as anti communists. We have to be
careful being puritans with people who are helping the cause.
And that's not just a modern political thing. That's the
(08:38):
entire history of the world, whether it be politics, war, business, whatever,
people getting into business, getting into war, getting into this
with allies who are less than ideal. That's the whole
history of the world. There is a way of thinking
(09:00):
on the right, and I understand that way of thinking.
There is a way of thinking on the right, and
that anybody who is successful, anybody who is powerful, their
support should be flatly rejected whenever they come on board, meaning, okay,
the latest actor, there's a I'm sure there's a new
(09:22):
actor out either this week or last week. There's always
one who comes forward and says something even remotely to
the right, and then a bunch of people on the
right will fall in love with Oh my gosh, Chuck Norris,
I love you. But then there are a bunch of
people on the right who will also say, huh, part
of Hollywood. Screw him. I don't care what he says.
(09:43):
He's the enemy, and you're probably in one of those
two camps. I will tell you me personally, again pointing
fingers back at me. I tend to be more in
the nope, screw him camp. That's very much me. I
don't trust you. I don't trust you as far as
I can throw you. I think you're a spy. I
(10:04):
think you're a this, I think you're that. But we
have to be careful with that because we need all
the help we can get, and allies aren't always pretty.
Sometimes allies look like Rosie O'Donnell. Speaking of which, let's
talk about a couple potential allies we might just have
(10:25):
to accept. Even if we don't wrap our arms around them,
we might have to accept them. Hang on, you're listening
to the Oracle. You love this one.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's a scream baby.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The Jesse Kelly Show. It is The Jesse Kelly Show
on eight Thursday. If you miss any part of the show,
don't don't fret. Don't stress. They podcast every minute of it.
iHeart Google, Spotify, iTunes. On iTunes, leave a five star
rating and subscribe and leave a comment talking about how
(10:59):
handsome I am. But it is an easy way to
do it. And let me just let me just prepare
you for something now. But if you're before we move
on to these friends, I'm taking a vacation in December,
and now I haven't taken a vacation this year, and
I'm taking one in December, and I'm gonna be gone
(11:20):
for a bit, so you can have to learn the
whole mastery of the podcast thing. All right, don't I what, Chris?
Do you ever sent me? Want to say it? Chris,
what exactly? Step back and be quiet, Chris. I don't
want to hear from you right now. All right, we
need friends. Anti communists are going to need friends in
high places. That does not mean we need to latch
(11:45):
on to the newest candidate, the newest CEO, the newest
everything and pretend like there are some kind of savior
to us. But we are never ever, ever, ever going
to take on all of the power who were allied
against us without powerful friends. We need them now. I
(12:09):
have never trusted Elon Musk, richest man in the world,
Elon Musk. I still do not trust Elon Musk. He
purchased one of the big social media platforms, Twitter, which
it's called x now, and I don't know. And since
he has purchased it, he's done a ton of good,
(12:29):
a ton of good with it. He has perfect Oh
I'm sure not. Do I trust him? Absolutely not, He's
done a ton of good. This testimony from Michael Schellenberger.
I'm gonna play this for you. Do you know the
reason Michael Schellenberger is sitting in front of Congress giving
this testimony publicly because Elon Musk bought Twitter and gave
(12:49):
him this information.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Months ago.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I testified and provided evidence to the subcommittee about the
existence of a censorship industrial complex, a network of government agencies,
including the Department of Homeland Security, government contractors, and big
tech media platforms that conspired to censor ordinary Americans and
elected officials alike for holding disfavored views. I regret to
(13:12):
inform the subcommittee today.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I could let him go on, but understand that
Michael Schellenberger and credit to him for the reporting, but
he only has access to that information He only found
that out because Elon Musk bought Twitter and got access
to the internals of what the government and the communists
in the social media industry were doing, and he gave
(13:35):
that access to him. So Elon has done a lot
of good. He's not a savior, all right, but he's
done a lot of good. Dana White as well. Dana
White is the guy. He's the big cheese at UFC.
I really like Dana White. I'm sure he's the furthest
thing in the world from perfect I get that again.
Not a savior, but he's powerful. Elon Musk is powerful.
(13:59):
The rich and they're powerful, and they're starting to take
hard stances against these other corporations who are disgusting communist filth.
This is a little montage here of Elon Musk and
Dana White. It's a censorship montage. Elon Musk was flat
out asked because companies are beginning to boycott advertising on
(14:24):
Elon Musk's social media platform. Elon Musk is not worried about.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Apology tour if you will, that this had been said online,
there was all of the criticism, there was advertisers leaving.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
We talked to Bob iden Bay stop. You hope, don't advertise.
You don't want them to advertise. No, what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising,
blackmailing with money for yourself? We had Robert Kennedy j
Now before I let Dana say his say in his interview,
that's a good thing. Obviously he didn't. I don't know
that the F bomb. I hope that that was properly
beeped out, wasn't it, Chris, Okay, it was properly beeped out.
(15:07):
So we dropped an F bomb in there. But the
idea behind it, man, that's good. When's the last time
you heard a CEO in this country step up and
have the guts to speak like that. I'm not saying
we all need to run out and buy little Elon
Musk idols and kneel down before them at night. But
if he's going to be an ally like this, that's
(15:29):
a good thing, all right. Dana White sits down for
a separate podcast interview and finds out Peloton's boycotting.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
On and we had a company call or a couple
of companies call after that and say, yeah, just stuff
about him. We're not advertising on this episode of advertisers like,
you guys need to take the episode down. Oh, Peloton
was the we just got an update. It was a
Peloton was the band for people who wanted to add
out Peloton.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Do we have Pelotons in the gym of those peloton asports?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
No, No, those bikes next to it as Yeah, we're
getting rid of them.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
El Or Dana White finds out Peloton boycotted this guy's
podcast just for having RFK Junior on. He on camera says,
get the Pelotons out of my gym. They're gone. Now,
these are small things, and I'm not saying these are
world changing things and everything's right with the world. I'm
not saying that at all. But I am just making
(16:27):
sure we all understand you me, all of us. We
need powerful friends. We're going to need powerful friends if
we're going to win. You know, we didn't win the
American Revolution just because of George Washington and a bunch
of brave colonials. We needed France, We needed help, and
(16:50):
was France perfect? Obviously not, They're French. Did France join
our cause for the right reasons because they just loved freedom?
And these colonials are awesome people of course not. Most
of it was despite the British. But we still needed
those ships, didn't we. All I'm saying is we have
(17:11):
to be more open myself included to powerful friends. All Right,
all right, let's talk to Selena Zito, who's winning this primary.
She's the one on the ground who's winning the general.
What are the normal people out there saying? We'll talk
to Selena about that in just a moment. Let's first
talk about babies. I got a ton of email about
(17:33):
my hardcore pro life stance that I got a question
about because people disagree with me. Maybe you disagree with
me on it, And I cannot believe how many emails
I got of people thanking me for that. You don't
thank me for being pro life. That's the default position.
A baby is a baby and deserves a chance at life,
(17:54):
and in fact, more than a chance, deserves to be
protected and nurtured. That's what Preborn believes. That's why this
show is partnered with Preborn. That's why I love Preborn
so much. That's why I encourage you to go give,
especially while they're doing their matching their matching gifts right now.
Your tax deductible gift is doubled. Right now, go to
(18:18):
preborn dot com slash Jesse and save a life. In fact,
it's a two for one night. Go save two of them.
Twenty eight bucks bies an ultrasound. Now it gets you
two preborn dot com slash Jesse. All right, we'll be.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Back, Jesse Kelly Vaccian.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Oh my gosh, turn
it off, Chris, that's horrible. Did Selena pick that song?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Geez joining me now? National political reporter for the Great
Washington Examiner, Selena Zito, Selena, what even once? That? That
was awful?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Love that Merchant?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I don't know who Natalie Merchant is.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You're too young?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, that's not true. All right, Selena? Tell me what
do people care about right now? You're the one who
travels the back roads. You don't fly on planes, You're
the one driving through the rust spelled. I know what
the media tells everyone they should care about right now.
But what do people you talk to in these diners
and schools and whatnot. What's on their mind?
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Sick? It's inflation, the high cost of things. Things. You know,
they keep being you know, they all they almost feel
as that they're being gaslighted because everyone tells you everything's fine.
What are you talking about? Prices are fine? Right, So inflation,
the national security issues with the border and safety, and
(19:50):
so safety can be broken down into crime, hopeless homelessness,
drug problems, but also what's going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, so inflation, the border crime. Okay. So, as I
figured things like this from corin diversity, higher are not
landing the way.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Annual inflation fell to its lowest level in more than
two and a half years, and monthly inflation.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So that's not landing well with the people, is what
you're saying.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Well, it's not because it's a false premise. It is.
It is lower than it was, yes, but that high.
We still haven't come off of the high. So it's
it's framed in such an insulting way.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, speaking with Selena and Zito Washington Examiner, Selena, let's
talk about something I never really talked about anymore on
the show, just because we have much bigger fish to fry,
the Republican primary. You're out there in the rust belt.
Voting in Iowa is going to begin before we know it,
and people are going to start actually casting their ballots.
I see the same primary polls everyone else does. Trumps
(20:59):
up by ten thousand, and the rights is basically over.
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't believe any of those. You know. It's not
that I want to or don't want to. I just
never believe primary polls because everyone lies all the time.
What do you hear on the ground, who's winning?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
So I think that, yes, the polls show Trump way ahead. However,
I don't know if that means he wins the primary.
And here's why. First of all, voters are still not
completely settled. And also in the way the polls are
(21:35):
presented to them, it's as though, okay, do you support
Donald Trump? Yes? Would you vote for him? Yes? Okay,
he's way ahead. And and and while they supported some
of his policies previously, they they've like certain aspects of
his presidency. They are exhausted by the drama, and they
(22:02):
want someone who will who is competent and has governing experience,
but also punches back, but not in a way that
leaves them feeling exhausted. So I'm not convinced he's ahead.
And then talking with voters, they're like, yeah, I like him,
but you know, I like you know, I want this,
(22:23):
I want that. I'm not quite sure, so I'm not
convinced that he is the he is the ultimately the
primary winner.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Okay, who who's the name? Who do they talk about
other than Trump? I mean, DeSantis is wide they thought
of as being in second place? But is it Nikki Haley?
Is this Vivek whatever his name is. Is it one of
the I'm sure it's not Chris Christy, But you're the
one talking to them, I'm not who are they talking about?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
So it's narrowed down to DeSantis and Haley and what
they like about both of them. They they both share
a quality that they like and I think and I
touched on that in the last comment in that they
like that they have governing experience that they're not afraid
(23:13):
to push back, but they're not kind of a jerk
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, how are how are Donald Trump's legal issues landing
with people? There's a way of thinking out there that says,
because of all these indictments, that is going to motivate
people just out of spite. And I know a lot
of people like this. A lot of people to me
are listening right now, are like this out of spite
they're voting for him anyway, just to say kind of
(23:41):
go bounce sand to the Justice.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Department, right, And there is a lot of people that
think that way. However, you know, elections are one through coalition,
through building different archetypes of people that is that come together.
They wouldn't normally be together on one single person, right,
(24:06):
And so I don't think that the part of the
coalition that wanted to vote for him just out of
spite is larger than four percent. So I yeah, And
you know, you know what's interesting to me, Jesse, is
that in twenty sixteen, there was in my reporting, there
(24:29):
was definitely the shy Trump voter, right, they didn't want
to tell anyone that they were going to vote for Trump. Well, today,
eight years later, people there is now this shy not
Trump voter where they don't want to tell anyone in
their family they're not voting for Jump because their family's
going to get mad at them. But they are thinking
(24:52):
and looking in other directions.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Okay, all right, Well that I did not see that coming.
There's the primary talk. Okay, now let's move on to
the general. I like, I don't need you to tell
me Joe Biden's unpopular. Everybody knows that. So unpopular? Are
we talking about? Selena? You cover this stuff and cover
it well for a living. Is the disaster level unpopular?
Standard democrat at the up for reelection? Unpopular? How bad
(25:19):
does the country think of Joe Biden?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Really bad? Uh? You know? And and I think there's
a nuance there that we need to to unpack a
bit in that it is a disaster level. However, it's
not that they don't like. It's the opposite of Trump,
where they the people that voted for Biden they like,
(25:43):
they like him, but they're not quite happy with his policies.
With Trump, they don't like him, but they did like
his policies. It's a really such a bender right now.
And so it's going to be interesting to see, you know,
how this played out. You know, Democrats have done just
(26:04):
about everything they could in trying to get him off
the ticket. And although I don't think it's impossible right now,
those chances are becoming narrower and narrower as we get
closer and closer to January.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, look along those same lines, is there a Democrat
they like? Now? I can't stand any of them, but
I'm horribly biased. Is there a Democrat out there you
hear from these ross belt voters that in the very
least intrigues them. Is it newsome?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Is there somebody I think that you would look at
someone like Kathy or Gretchen Whitmeyer in Michigan. If you
are a Democrat and you're thinking what do I want
right now? That to lead the country where we are
(26:55):
right now? They might want some Midwestern Democrats there as
as a as a placeholder. Uh and and which is interesting.
Then that meant that Biden was also a placeholder. So
Democrats really aren't getting the person that it would mean
if Biden left for whatever reason, that would be two
(27:20):
nominees in a row that would have would be placeholders
because Biden was really never meant to run for this
second uh this second president, you know, to run again
for president. So you know Democrats are not very happy.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well how about that? Selena Zito? You are the best?
What's your newsletter? Where do people sign up for this thing? Again?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Selenazito dot com s A L E N A Z
I t O. All my stories are there if you
want to sign up for the emails. They're free, they're fun,
and they're not batting.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Free emails, get updated on the on the ground intel
Selena zo dot com. Thank you, Selena, you are the
very best. How about that? I didn't know that. That
surprises me, and it surprises me about Governor Ratchett and Michigan.
But again, I'm not a Democrat, so how would I know?
How would I know? Anyway? I want to talk to
you about something pure I want to talk to you
(28:18):
about Pure Talk. You didn't see that coming, Chris, He
had no idea that was coming. Don't shake your head either. Look,
you shouldn't have Verizon, you shouldn't have AT and T
T Mobile. We complain about these gigantic corporations, but unless
we punish them financially, they will never change. So change.
(28:41):
You don't have to sacrifice coverage when you switch to
Pure Talk. Not only are you switching to the patriotic
mobile company, they have the same five G network, so
you're not sacrificing coverage. Your bill goes down. My goodness,
unlimited talk, unlimited text in fifteen gigs of data for
thirty five bucks a month in a free phone. When
you sign up for that a free Moto G five gphone,
(29:05):
all you have to do is pick up your phone
dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly Pound
two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, switch to Pure Talk.
All right, we'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's still real to me. Dammit the ternstacks.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show. Do not forget. Tomorrow is a national
holiday also known as Ask Doctor Jesse Friday. Here on
The Jesse Kelly Show. What email freedom is not free?
Apparently Chris forgot about that. You can email me your questions,
but you have to email him in now. That's not true.
(29:48):
You can email him in tomorrow, but it's better if
you emailed him in now. Better chance they get read.
Email Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com ask me anything.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I forge got to get to this earlier. So you know,
last night we were talking about how the communist is never,
under any circumstances allowed to address the real problem because
him and his sick religion they're the real problem. And
I made the comparison last night to it being a
(30:21):
brain tumor. How are you're walking around with this huge
brain tumor? Everyone can see it's bulging out of your head,
and you're complaining about headaches and seizures. But you never
allow anybody to talk about the brain tumor. No, it's
got to be something else, never the brain tumor. Disney
has lost seven hundred and thirteen million dollars this year
on thirteen movies. That is disaster. Bob Iger is the
(30:45):
CEO of Disney, and he sits down to address Disney
taking a beating. Do you want to hear thank you,
Bob Iger. I appreciate you making me sound smart. Do
you want to hear somebody doing everything in his power
to avoid talking about the brain tumor?
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Here he is a number of these films have not performed.
They have not performed the way they used to. People
question the creative magic at Disney. You can look at
the Marvels Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (31:19):
What's happened?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well? I think you have to look at it a
couple of ways.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
First of all, I think the movie business is changing.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Pause real quick, Sorry, I'm gonna let him keep going.
Notice how the interviewer he can't even ask the question,
He didn't even give him options? Hey, what is it?
Is it bad writers, is it a bad director? Is
it maybe too much of the politics in there? He
couldn't bring himself to do it instead? Whether the magic
the Disney magic? Anyway, here's Bob Iger's answer.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Actually, box office today is about seventy five percent of
what it was pre COVID. I think we have conditioned
the audience to expect that these films will be on
streaming platforms relatively quickly, and that the experience of accessing
them and watching them in the home is better than
it ever was. One easier to access in terms of
(32:10):
the technology.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Two, He goes on for another minute. He's already thirty
seconds into his answer. Has not addressed once the fact
that parents do not want to take their children to
see the newest lesbian cartoons.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Just the visuals, you know, better sets in your living
room than before, and a bargain when you think about
it's streaming Disney plus. You can get for seven dollars
a month. That's a lot cheaper than taking.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's Disney Plus. It's definitely Disney Plus.
That's the reason they're not.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Going your whole family to a film.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
So I think the bar is now raised in terms
of quality about what gets people out of their homes
into movie theaters. Second, in our particular case, and specifically
about those films. Some of those films, they were not
as good as as some of their predecessors, our films,
and as they should have been, particularly in this Why
do you think that was well? And Marvel's was shot
(33:04):
during COVID, there wasn't as much supervision on the set.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Definitely COVID. Of course it was COVID. Of course it
would be.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
COVID to speak, where we have executives there really looking
over what's being.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Done day after day after day.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
And that was a result mostly of COVID, but at
the same time we increased our.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's definitely not the fact that the three main characters
in Marvel's are three hardcore feminists who every man hates
and every woman hates, and Noel wants to see a
movie starring those people. It definitely wasn't that.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
It was COVID output tremendously defeed to streaming platforms too much,
by the way, mistake definite mistake, and quality needs attention
to deliver quality. It's not done happen by accident and quantity.
In our case, diluted quality, and Marvel suffered greatly from that.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Have you ever heard a better example? In a twenty
four hours spent twenty four hours ago? I told you
it's like the guy walking around with the brain tumor
who won't even allow doctor to talk about the brain tumor.
Bob Iger gets up having lost seven hundred and thirteen
million dollars in one year and blames COVID for it.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
When you serve that false religion of communism, you are
never allowed to address the one thing you have to
address in order to fix things. And it's because they're
not trying to fix things. They're trying to destroy things.
I'm not trying to destroy. I'm trying to build. I'm
(34:36):
trying to build an army of people who use the
appropriate towels when they get out of the shower. An
army of my towel anti communists. That's what we need now.
In fact, what Chris, that's what we need At the
next anti communist rally, which would actually be the first
anti communist rally because we've never done one, but everyone
should bring their my towels draped over their shoulders to
(34:58):
prove how anti communists you. After all, they are the
greatest towels ever. My pillows the greatest towel company. And
these towels, man, they're affordable right now, they're fifty percent
off six piece towel set twenty nine ninety eight. Take
advantage of that. That's fifty percent in savings. Upgrade to
the designer Premium line for twenty bucks more. Go to
(35:20):
my pillow dot com, click on the radio listeners special
Square and use the promo code Jesse and get the
greatest towels ever. Might I suggest Christmas gifts to my
pillow dot com radio listener Special Square promo code Jesse
or call them. They're wonderful on the phone. It's nice
seging a company that's wonderful on the phone, isn't it?
(35:43):
Eight hundred eight four five zero five four four? You
know why? You know, freedom is not free. That's why,
By the way, I was insulting that guy for the
question he asked, Bob Iger. You know what he should
have asked him. He should have sat down and looked
him right in the eye and say, anyway, here's.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
A headline by go you know, you know the thing headlines.
We didn't get to.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Traditional Catholic family dragged out of home at gunpoint and
locked in a van after the FBI goaded their team
to post offensive memes. Their dad says, the FBI is
in your social media chat groups. That quote patriotic chat
group you're in, whether you're seven or seventy, is full
of Feds. And the loser in that group who's talking
(36:29):
about taking action, it's time to grab guns.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
This means civil war.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
He's sitting there at his desk at FBI headquarters laughing
at you as you respond, because he's getting ready to
arrest you. The FEDS are in your patriot group. Watch
your mouth and stay legal at all times. Texas bands
COVID nineteen vaccine mandates for employees and contractors. Wow, man,
(36:56):
I want to applaud the GOP for once again doing
the right thing three years after the fact. JP Morgan
CEO Jamie Diamond to business leaders help Nicky Haley. As
if we needed another reason to despise Nicky Haley, George
Floyd Square businesses sue the city for lack of policing.
Oh did that not work out for you guys? Oh gosh,
(37:19):
all right, tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday Jesseat, Jesse kellyshow
dot com. That's all
This is a Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show Final hour that Jesse
Kelly Show. Selena Zito joined us like a half hour
from now. That'll be fun. We'll talk about some boots
on the ground politics stuff. We're going to get to
why we need powerful friends here in a minute. Talk
about a traditional Catholic family being attacked, of course by
(00:36):
the FBI. Might want to pay attention to that one.
But first I want to finish this email and then
we'll talk about these powerful friends. This is an email
about debates. The rules should be obvious. This lady says,
why can't each candidate get an equal amount of time
to speak? In total? If someone plows into the next
(00:57):
candidate's time with the technique so able to demonstrated by Hillary,
why isn't that over time subtracted from the remainder of
the time A lotted to them, the mic should go
dead when you're out of time? Do the moderators just
want verbal hockey fights? So on to say, Okay, listen,
here's the problem with I was gonna say with politics,
(01:21):
but it can be a problem with life in general.
But let's just focus on politics for the time being.
And this is going to be a problem for you.
It most definitely has been a problem for me. People
who genuinely believe and are in the fight for the
right reasons, the right reasons, they are going to find
(01:45):
themselves very frustrated with people around them who are in
it for reasons that are different. What's a great example
of this, You know what, campaigning, here's a great example.
I ran for Congress, lost twice. I ran for Congress,
and whenever you run for Congress, you will get various
(02:07):
people who will become part of your campaign. Most of
them are actually volunteers. You know, you have some paid
people on a campaign, but most of them are volunteers.
I had a lot of true believers in as my
volunteers really believed in America and the right and doing
what was right and things like that. But that wasn't
(02:29):
all the volunteers we had. I remember we had one
night where we were doing a bunch of phone banking.
Just stay with me, I'm going somewhere where we were
doing a bunch of phone banking, and so they were
putting out the call for volunteers. We needed volunteers to
come down fill up the campaign office's office we had
the phones ready to go. We needed people to come
in and dial up. Hey wait, we needed to come
(02:51):
vote for Jesse. That kind of thing, all right, right.
We had a bunch of true believers at that thing. Also,
they put out the word on the local college campus
that that's what we were doing. And we had a
bunch of people who showed up that night, and they
(03:11):
actually were just there to hit on the opposite sex.
They were there to try to date the girls. The
dudes were there trying to date the dimes that showed up.
The dimes were there trying to pick up a date.
And again I'm not blaming them, but this turned into
a very many little controversy in the office that night.
When I got there, I'd been out campaigning. I got there.
Why because the true believers were frustrated to no end
(03:35):
that they're not even working as hard as I'm working.
They're over there flirting with each other, Jesse. They're not
doing anything. The true believer, like you, like me, will
often be frustrated by the fact many people around us,
many people involved in our movement, are not true believers.
In fact, I would argue most are not. What does
(03:57):
this have to do with debates when you sit down
to watch a debate. In fact, me and producer Michael
were just talking about this during the break. When you
sit down to watch a debate, it's important for you
and me to get that we are not normal and
that other people will not see what we see. When
I sit down and I watch a debate, what do
(04:18):
I want to hear. I want to hear you make
your points. I want to hear counterpoints, argue with each other.
But I want to hear facts, logic, truth. I want
to hear this plan and this plan, and that plan
and that plan. I don't care about the fluff. I
actually don't care about the name calling. I don't care
about any of that. Give me the yes, give me
the no. But that's not how normal people watch a debate.
(04:41):
Normal people watch it to be entertained. The moderators in
a debate. You ask why they don't just cut off
microphones here and cut off there. Well, I'm not indicting
every moderator of every debate, but most of these moderators
in these debates, who are they? Who are they? They're
media people? How do media people make their living? Look,
(05:04):
I'm a media person. I'm pointing fingers right here. How
do I make my living? I need more people listening
to my radio show and watching my TV show. You know,
I have a TV show every night at nine pm
Eastern on the first TV. I need more people buying
my book. I need That's how I make a paycheck.
That is now, now that I do this for a living,
(05:26):
that's my living. The people who sit down and do
the debates, they want a different thing than the true
believer wants. They want eyeballs, they want prestige, they want
their brand to grow. In fact, let's go deeper than that.
Most of the candidates they're not there for the country.
(05:50):
In fact, most of them aren't even there to win.
They don't have any intention of winning. They're there to
make a splash. Maybe get out of my house, get
away from the life for a couple nights, first class
travel across the country. Your brand is getting bigger as
you be interviewed on TV. And this applies to every
(06:11):
single level of politics. Maybe you look again, I was
talking about I'm going through this. I've got a couple
people in this business who I know and admire, and
I have been disappointed with, to put it mildly, watching
them turn into soulless sellouts for ratings. It has been
(06:39):
eye opening for me. And look, you can you can
do or say anything to get people to listen and
stay listening. But people who I know feel the exact
opposite about this issue or that issue, abortion or the
border or this, and yet they'll come out and they'll
express something on the air completely opposite to what I
(07:03):
know they feel inside. Only for ratings. And I will
tell you I've actually been talking to my wife about this.
I've been talking to Jewish producer Chris about it, Michael
about it. It's been eating at me a lot. I
hate it. It drives me up the wall. But that look,
that was a long way of me saying to you,
(07:26):
as someone who is a true believer, and I'm glad
you are the way you are. Don't ever change, all right,
don't ever change. But as someone who is a true believer,
you are going to be frustrated a lot by people
in your movement, in our movement, who don't actually believe
they're in it for I don't know. They want to date,
(07:47):
they want to date somebody that like down at the
campaign office. They want fame, they want fortune, they want this,
They want that, they want a job in the governor's office,
they want that, a million and one things they want
that are not legit. Now, that actually leads me perfectly
into this. We shouldn't as true believers, we should not
(08:15):
reject the help of people who maybe want to help
for reasons that are not always good. We have to
be very careful as anti communists. We have to be
careful being puritans with people who are helping the cause.
And that's not just a modern political thing. That's the
(08:38):
entire history of the world, whether it be politics, war, business, whatever,
people getting into business, getting into war, getting into this
with allies who are less than ideal. That's the whole
history of the world. There is a way of thinking
(09:00):
on the right, and I understand that way of thinking.
There is a way of thinking on the right, and
that anybody who is successful, anybody who is powerful, their
support should be flatly rejected whenever they come on board, meaning, okay,
the latest actor, there's a I'm sure there's a new
(09:22):
actor out either this week or last week. There's always
one who comes forward and says something even remotely to
the right, and then a bunch of people on the
right will fall in love with Oh my gosh, Chuck Norris,
I love you. But then there are a bunch of
people on the right who will also say, huh, part
of Hollywood. Screw him. I don't care what he says.
(09:43):
He's the enemy, and you're probably in one of those
two camps. I will tell you me personally, again pointing
fingers back at me. I tend to be more in
the nope, screw him camp. That's very much me. I
don't trust you. I don't trust you as far as
I can throw you. I think you're a spy. I
(10:04):
think you're a this, I think you're that. But we
have to be careful with that because we need all
the help we can get, and allies aren't always pretty.
Sometimes allies look like Rosie O'Donnell. Speaking of which, let's
talk about a couple potential allies we might just have
(10:25):
to accept. Even if we don't wrap our arms around them,
we might have to accept them. Hang on, you're listening
to the Oracle. You love this one.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's a scream baby.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The Jesse Kelly Show. It is The Jesse Kelly Show
on eight Thursday. If you miss any part of the show,
don't don't fret. Don't stress. They podcast every minute of it.
iHeart Google, Spotify, iTunes. On iTunes, leave a five star
rating and subscribe and leave a comment talking about how
(10:59):
handsome I am. But it is an easy way to
do it. And let me just let me just prepare
you for something now. But if you're before we move
on to these friends, I'm taking a vacation in December,
and now I haven't taken a vacation this year, and
I'm taking one in December, and I'm gonna be gone
(11:20):
for a bit, so you can have to learn the
whole mastery of the podcast thing. All right, don't I what, Chris?
Do you ever sent me? Want to say it? Chris,
what exactly? Step back and be quiet, Chris. I don't
want to hear from you right now. All right, we
need friends. Anti communists are going to need friends in
high places. That does not mean we need to latch
(11:45):
on to the newest candidate, the newest CEO, the newest
everything and pretend like there are some kind of savior
to us. But we are never ever, ever, ever going
to take on all of the power who were allied
against us without powerful friends. We need them now. I
(12:09):
have never trusted Elon Musk, richest man in the world,
Elon Musk. I still do not trust Elon Musk. He
purchased one of the big social media platforms, Twitter, which
it's called x now, and I don't know. And since
he has purchased it, he's done a ton of good,
(12:29):
a ton of good with it. He has perfect Oh
I'm sure not. Do I trust him? Absolutely not, He's
done a ton of good. This testimony from Michael Schellenberger.
I'm gonna play this for you. Do you know the
reason Michael Schellenberger is sitting in front of Congress giving
this testimony publicly because Elon Musk bought Twitter and gave
(12:49):
him this information.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Months ago.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I testified and provided evidence to the subcommittee about the
existence of a censorship industrial complex, a network of government agencies,
including the Department of Homeland Security, government contractors, and big
tech media platforms that conspired to censor ordinary Americans and
elected officials alike for holding disfavored views. I regret to
(13:12):
inform the subcommittee today.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I could let him go on, but understand that
Michael Schellenberger and credit to him for the reporting, but
he only has access to that information He only found
that out because Elon Musk bought Twitter and got access
to the internals of what the government and the communists
in the social media industry were doing, and he gave
(13:35):
that access to him. So Elon has done a lot
of good. He's not a savior, all right, but he's
done a lot of good. Dana White as well. Dana
White is the guy. He's the big cheese at UFC.
I really like Dana White. I'm sure he's the furthest
thing in the world from perfect I get that again.
Not a savior, but he's powerful. Elon Musk is powerful.
(13:59):
The rich and they're powerful, and they're starting to take
hard stances against these other corporations who are disgusting communist filth.
This is a little montage here of Elon Musk and
Dana White. It's a censorship montage. Elon Musk was flat
out asked because companies are beginning to boycott advertising on
(14:24):
Elon Musk's social media platform. Elon Musk is not worried about.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Apology tour if you will, that this had been said online,
there was all of the criticism, there was advertisers leaving.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
We talked to Bob iden Bay stop. You hope, don't advertise.
You don't want them to advertise. No, what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising,
blackmailing with money for yourself? We had Robert Kennedy j
Now before I let Dana say his say in his interview,
that's a good thing. Obviously he didn't. I don't know
that the F bomb. I hope that that was properly
beeped out, wasn't it, Chris, Okay, it was properly beeped out.
(15:07):
So we dropped an F bomb in there. But the
idea behind it, man, that's good. When's the last time
you heard a CEO in this country step up and
have the guts to speak like that. I'm not saying
we all need to run out and buy little Elon
Musk idols and kneel down before them at night. But
if he's going to be an ally like this, that's
(15:29):
a good thing, all right. Dana White sits down for
a separate podcast interview and finds out Peloton's boycotting.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
On and we had a company call or a couple
of companies call after that and say, yeah, just stuff
about him. We're not advertising on this episode of advertisers like,
you guys need to take the episode down. Oh, Peloton
was the we just got an update. It was a
Peloton was the band for people who wanted to add
out Peloton.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Do we have Pelotons in the gym of those peloton asports?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
No, No, those bikes next to it as Yeah, we're
getting rid of them.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
El Or Dana White finds out Peloton boycotted this guy's
podcast just for having RFK Junior on. He on camera says,
get the Pelotons out of my gym. They're gone. Now,
these are small things, and I'm not saying these are
world changing things and everything's right with the world. I'm
not saying that at all. But I am just making
(16:27):
sure we all understand you me, all of us. We
need powerful friends. We're going to need powerful friends if
we're going to win. You know, we didn't win the
American Revolution just because of George Washington and a bunch
of brave colonials. We needed France, We needed help, and
(16:50):
was France perfect? Obviously not, They're French. Did France join
our cause for the right reasons because they just loved freedom?
And these colonials are awesome people of course not. Most
of it was despite the British. But we still needed
those ships, didn't we. All I'm saying is we have
(17:11):
to be more open myself included to powerful friends. All Right,
all right, let's talk to Selena Zito, who's winning this primary.
She's the one on the ground who's winning the general.
What are the normal people out there saying? We'll talk
to Selena about that in just a moment. Let's first
talk about babies. I got a ton of email about
(17:33):
my hardcore pro life stance that I got a question
about because people disagree with me. Maybe you disagree with
me on it, And I cannot believe how many emails
I got of people thanking me for that. You don't
thank me for being pro life. That's the default position.
A baby is a baby and deserves a chance at life,
(17:54):
and in fact, more than a chance, deserves to be
protected and nurtured. That's what Preborn believes. That's why this
show is partnered with Preborn. That's why I love Preborn
so much. That's why I encourage you to go give,
especially while they're doing their matching their matching gifts right now.
Your tax deductible gift is doubled. Right now, go to
(18:18):
preborn dot com slash Jesse and save a life. In fact,
it's a two for one night. Go save two of them.
Twenty eight bucks bies an ultrasound. Now it gets you
two preborn dot com slash Jesse. All right, we'll be.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Back, Jesse Kelly Vaccian.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Oh my gosh, turn
it off, Chris, that's horrible. Did Selena pick that song?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Geez joining me now? National political reporter for the Great
Washington Examiner, Selena Zito, Selena, what even once? That? That
was awful?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Love that Merchant?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I don't know who Natalie Merchant is.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You're too young?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, that's not true. All right, Selena? Tell me what
do people care about right now? You're the one who
travels the back roads. You don't fly on planes, You're
the one driving through the rust spelled. I know what
the media tells everyone they should care about right now.
But what do people you talk to in these diners
and schools and whatnot. What's on their mind?
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Sick? It's inflation, the high cost of things. Things. You know,
they keep being you know, they all they almost feel
as that they're being gaslighted because everyone tells you everything's fine.
What are you talking about? Prices are fine? Right, So inflation,
the national security issues with the border and safety, and
(19:50):
so safety can be broken down into crime, hopeless homelessness,
drug problems, but also what's going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, so inflation, the border crime. Okay. So, as I
figured things like this from corin diversity, higher are not
landing the way.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Annual inflation fell to its lowest level in more than
two and a half years, and monthly inflation.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So that's not landing well with the people, is what
you're saying.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Well, it's not because it's a false premise. It is.
It is lower than it was, yes, but that high.
We still haven't come off of the high. So it's
it's framed in such an insulting way.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, speaking with Selena and Zito Washington Examiner, Selena, let's
talk about something I never really talked about anymore on
the show, just because we have much bigger fish to fry,
the Republican primary. You're out there in the rust belt.
Voting in Iowa is going to begin before we know it,
and people are going to start actually casting their ballots.
I see the same primary polls everyone else does. Trumps
(20:59):
up by ten thousand, and the rights is basically over.
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I don't believe any of those. You know. It's not
that I want to or don't want to. I just
never believe primary polls because everyone lies all the time.
What do you hear on the ground, who's winning?
Speaker 6 (21:13):
So I think that, yes, the polls show Trump way ahead. However,
I don't know if that means he wins the primary.
And here's why. First of all, voters are still not
completely settled. And also in the way the polls are
(21:35):
presented to them, it's as though, okay, do you support
Donald Trump? Yes? Would you vote for him? Yes? Okay,
he's way ahead. And and and while they supported some
of his policies previously, they they've like certain aspects of
his presidency. They are exhausted by the drama, and they
(22:02):
want someone who will who is competent and has governing experience,
but also punches back, but not in a way that
leaves them feeling exhausted. So I'm not convinced he's ahead.
And then talking with voters, they're like, yeah, I like him,
but you know, I like you know, I want this,
(22:23):
I want that. I'm not quite sure, so I'm not
convinced that he is the he is the ultimately the
primary winner.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Okay, who who's the name? Who do they talk about
other than Trump? I mean, DeSantis is wide they thought
of as being in second place? But is it Nikki Haley?
Is this Vivek whatever his name is. Is it one of
the I'm sure it's not Chris Christy, But you're the
one talking to them, I'm not who are they talking about?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
So it's narrowed down to DeSantis and Haley and what
they like about both of them. They they both share
a quality that they like and I think and I
touched on that in the last comment in that they
like that they have governing experience that they're not afraid
(23:13):
to push back, but they're not kind of a jerk
about it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Okay, how are how are Donald Trump's legal issues landing
with people? There's a way of thinking out there that says,
because of all these indictments, that is going to motivate
people just out of spite. And I know a lot
of people like this. A lot of people to me
are listening right now, are like this out of spite
they're voting for him anyway, just to say kind of
(23:41):
go bounce sand to the Justice.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Department, right, And there is a lot of people that
think that way. However, you know, elections are one through coalition,
through building different archetypes of people that is that come together.
They wouldn't normally be together on one single person, right,
(24:06):
And so I don't think that the part of the
coalition that wanted to vote for him just out of
spite is larger than four percent. So I yeah, And
you know, you know what's interesting to me, Jesse, is
that in twenty sixteen, there was in my reporting, there
(24:29):
was definitely the shy Trump voter, right, they didn't want
to tell anyone that they were going to vote for Trump. Well, today,
eight years later, people there is now this shy not
Trump voter where they don't want to tell anyone in
their family they're not voting for Jump because their family's
going to get mad at them. But they are thinking
(24:52):
and looking in other directions.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Okay, all right, Well that I did not see that coming.
There's the primary talk. Okay, now let's move on to
the general. I like, I don't need you to tell
me Joe Biden's unpopular. Everybody knows that. So unpopular? Are
we talking about? Selena? You cover this stuff and cover
it well for a living. Is the disaster level unpopular?
Standard democrat at the up for reelection? Unpopular? How bad
(25:19):
does the country think of Joe Biden?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Really bad? Uh? You know? And and I think there's
a nuance there that we need to to unpack a
bit in that it is a disaster level. However, it's
not that they don't like. It's the opposite of Trump,
where they the people that voted for Biden they like,
(25:43):
they like him, but they're not quite happy with his policies.
With Trump, they don't like him, but they did like
his policies. It's a really such a bender right now.
And so it's going to be interesting to see, you know,
how this played out. You know, Democrats have done just
(26:04):
about everything they could in trying to get him off
the ticket. And although I don't think it's impossible right now,
those chances are becoming narrower and narrower as we get
closer and closer to January.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, look along those same lines, is there a Democrat
they like? Now? I can't stand any of them, but
I'm horribly biased. Is there a Democrat out there you
hear from these ross belt voters that in the very
least intrigues them. Is it newsome?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Is there somebody I think that you would look at
someone like Kathy or Gretchen Whitmeyer in Michigan. If you
are a Democrat and you're thinking what do I want
right now? That to lead the country where we are
(26:55):
right now? They might want some Midwestern Democrats there as
as a as a placeholder. Uh and and which is interesting.
Then that meant that Biden was also a placeholder. So
Democrats really aren't getting the person that it would mean
if Biden left for whatever reason, that would be two
(27:20):
nominees in a row that would have would be placeholders
because Biden was really never meant to run for this
second uh this second president, you know, to run again
for president. So you know Democrats are not very happy.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well how about that? Selena Zito? You are the best?
What's your newsletter? Where do people sign up for this thing? Again?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Selenazito dot com s A L E N A Z
I t O. All my stories are there if you
want to sign up for the emails. They're free, they're fun,
and they're not batting.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Free emails, get updated on the on the ground intel
Selena zo dot com. Thank you, Selena, you are the
very best. How about that? I didn't know that. That
surprises me, and it surprises me about Governor Ratchett and Michigan.
But again, I'm not a Democrat, so how would I know?
How would I know? Anyway? I want to talk to
you about something pure I want to talk to you
(28:18):
about Pure Talk. You didn't see that coming, Chris, He
had no idea that was coming. Don't shake your head either. Look,
you shouldn't have Verizon, you shouldn't have AT and T
T Mobile. We complain about these gigantic corporations, but unless
we punish them financially, they will never change. So change.
(28:41):
You don't have to sacrifice coverage when you switch to
Pure Talk. Not only are you switching to the patriotic
mobile company, they have the same five G network, so
you're not sacrificing coverage. Your bill goes down. My goodness,
unlimited talk, unlimited text in fifteen gigs of data for
thirty five bucks a month in a free phone. When
you sign up for that a free Moto G five gphone,
(29:05):
all you have to do is pick up your phone
dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly Pound
two five zero, say Jesse Kelly, switch to Pure Talk.
All right, we'll be back the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's still real to me. Dammit the ternstacks.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Final segment of The
Jesse Kelly Show. Do not forget. Tomorrow is a national
holiday also known as Ask Doctor Jesse Friday. Here on
The Jesse Kelly Show. What email freedom is not free?
Apparently Chris forgot about that. You can email me your questions,
but you have to email him in now. That's not true.
(29:48):
You can email him in tomorrow, but it's better if
you emailed him in now. Better chance they get read.
Email Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com ask me anything.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I forge got to get to this earlier. So you know,
last night we were talking about how the communist is never,
under any circumstances allowed to address the real problem because
him and his sick religion they're the real problem. And
I made the comparison last night to it being a
(30:21):
brain tumor. How are you're walking around with this huge
brain tumor? Everyone can see it's bulging out of your head,
and you're complaining about headaches and seizures. But you never
allow anybody to talk about the brain tumor. No, it's
got to be something else, never the brain tumor. Disney
has lost seven hundred and thirteen million dollars this year
on thirteen movies. That is disaster. Bob Iger is the
(30:45):
CEO of Disney, and he sits down to address Disney
taking a beating. Do you want to hear thank you,
Bob Iger. I appreciate you making me sound smart. Do
you want to hear somebody doing everything in his power
to avoid talking about the brain tumor?
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Here he is a number of these films have not performed.
They have not performed the way they used to. People
question the creative magic at Disney. You can look at
the Marvels Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (31:19):
What's happened?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well? I think you have to look at it a
couple of ways.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
First of all, I think the movie business is changing.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Pause real quick, Sorry, I'm gonna let him keep going.
Notice how the interviewer he can't even ask the question,
He didn't even give him options? Hey, what is it?
Is it bad writers, is it a bad director? Is
it maybe too much of the politics in there? He
couldn't bring himself to do it instead? Whether the magic
the Disney magic? Anyway, here's Bob Iger's answer.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Actually, box office today is about seventy five percent of
what it was pre COVID. I think we have conditioned
the audience to expect that these films will be on
streaming platforms relatively quickly, and that the experience of accessing
them and watching them in the home is better than
it ever was. One easier to access in terms of
(32:10):
the technology.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Two, He goes on for another minute. He's already thirty
seconds into his answer. Has not addressed once the fact
that parents do not want to take their children to
see the newest lesbian cartoons.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Just the visuals, you know, better sets in your living
room than before, and a bargain when you think about
it's streaming Disney plus. You can get for seven dollars
a month. That's a lot cheaper than taking.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's Disney Plus. It's definitely Disney Plus.
That's the reason they're not.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Going your whole family to a film.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
So I think the bar is now raised in terms
of quality about what gets people out of their homes
into movie theaters. Second, in our particular case, and specifically
about those films. Some of those films, they were not
as good as as some of their predecessors, our films,
and as they should have been, particularly in this Why
do you think that was well? And Marvel's was shot
(33:04):
during COVID, there wasn't as much supervision on the set.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Definitely COVID. Of course it was COVID. Of course it
would be.
Speaker 7 (33:10):
COVID to speak, where we have executives there really looking
over what's being.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Done day after day after day.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
And that was a result mostly of COVID, but at
the same time we increased our.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's definitely not the fact that the three main characters
in Marvel's are three hardcore feminists who every man hates
and every woman hates, and Noel wants to see a
movie starring those people. It definitely wasn't that.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
It was COVID output tremendously defeed to streaming platforms too much,
by the way, mistake definite mistake, and quality needs attention
to deliver quality. It's not done happen by accident and quantity.
In our case, diluted quality, and Marvel suffered greatly from that.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Have you ever heard a better example? In a twenty
four hours spent twenty four hours ago? I told you
it's like the guy walking around with the brain tumor
who won't even allow doctor to talk about the brain tumor.
Bob Iger gets up having lost seven hundred and thirteen
million dollars in one year and blames COVID for it.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
When you serve that false religion of communism, you are
never allowed to address the one thing you have to
address in order to fix things. And it's because they're
not trying to fix things. They're trying to destroy things.
I'm not trying to destroy. I'm trying to build. I'm
(34:36):
trying to build an army of people who use the
appropriate towels when they get out of the shower. An
army of my towel anti communists. That's what we need now.
In fact, what Chris, that's what we need At the
next anti communist rally, which would actually be the first
anti communist rally because we've never done one, but everyone
should bring their my towels draped over their shoulders to
(34:58):
prove how anti communists you. After all, they are the
greatest towels ever. My pillows the greatest towel company. And
these towels, man, they're affordable right now, they're fifty percent
off six piece towel set twenty nine ninety eight. Take
advantage of that. That's fifty percent in savings. Upgrade to
the designer Premium line for twenty bucks more. Go to

my pillow dot com, click on the radio listeners special
Square and use the promo code Jesse and get the
greatest towels ever. Might I suggest Christmas gifts to my
pillow dot com radio listener Special Square promo code Jesse
or call them. They're wonderful on the phone. It's nice
seging a company that's wonderful on the phone, isn't it?
(35:43):
Eight hundred eight four five zero five four four? You
know why? You know, freedom is not free. That's why,
By the way, I was insulting that guy for the
question he asked, Bob Iger. You know what he should
have asked him. He should have sat down and looked
him right in the eye and say, anyway, here's.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
A headline by go you know, you know the thing headlines.
We didn't get to.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Traditional Catholic family dragged out of home at gunpoint and
locked in a van after the FBI goaded their team
to post offensive memes. Their dad says, the FBI is
in your social media chat groups. That quote patriotic chat
group you're in, whether you're seven or seventy, is full
of Feds. And the loser in that group who's talking
(36:29):
about taking action, it's time to grab guns.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
This means civil war.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
He's sitting there at his desk at FBI headquarters laughing
at you as you respond, because he's getting ready to
arrest you. The FEDS are in your patriot group. Watch
your mouth and stay legal at all times. Texas bands
