Speaker 1 (00:02):
What's with these Trump tariffs? I will explain what's happening.
Jack Smith dropped the cases against Trump? Is that enough?
Is Kamala Harris really going to run again? You gotta
hang on so you can watch that segment. All that
and what I'm having for Thanksgiving? And I'm right, what's
(00:27):
with these tariffs? I'm seeing a lot of this right now.
And for those who are not up to date on
the news, allow me to pretend to be a journalist
really quickly and explain what Trump has been putting out
there publicly. He's been publicly saying. In fact, he publicly
said Canada, Mexico, you need to stop the flow of
(00:49):
illegal immigration and drugs into this country across your border.
And if you don't twenty five percent tariff on day
one on all the goods that are coming across, I'm
gonna slap a twenty five percent tariff on you. Okay.
They did the same thing with China, told them, Hey,
this fentanyl gotta stop. Ten percent tariff on Chinese goods,
you better make it stop. Okay, let's pause on this
(01:11):
because there are a lot of people of different economic
persuasions understandably arguing about this and you know what, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's fine to have good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Fiscal policy debate if you're a political nerd like you are,
and like I am, argue with your friends. I love tariffs,
I hate tariffs, but what's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Is not about tariffs.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's not about free markets or free trade or tariffs
or whatnot. You ever go to a party in high
school you weren't supposed to. This will just stay with me.
You ever go to a party in high school you
weren't supposed to? Most people have. I'm not encouraging you
kids watching to do this. There's nothing good that's going
to happen there. But most people have done this at
some point in their lives. You end up at a
(01:51):
party or sophomore junior in high school. People were drinking there,
and there's illegal things going on, age drinking things like that,
and the music gets loud and everyone's having a good
time and it feels dangerous and woo. Not that I've
ever done this before. And then if you grew up
(02:12):
where I grew up, the cops are gonna show up.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Eventually.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
You're gonna see flashing lights everywhere, multiple cop cars in
They come through the front door and well, the party's over.
And in that moment, you know what, nobody ever, ever,
ever says. Nobody says, whoa thank goodness, the cops are here.
About time we got this thing closed down and wrapped up.
(02:38):
No one ever says that. No one's a big fan
of the cops. In that moment, we just want to
party and live it up. But you got to have
the cops there because the party has to stop. What
happens when Democrats take over the United States of America
because they hate America. Now, this new Democrat party hates
the country. What happens is, you see, they the country
(03:01):
and they just want to loot America dry. They want
to loot the treasury and they begin the looting process.
But they don't isolate it to just them. You see,
when Democrats take over, they really tell everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They just put the signam.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Out to the world, Hey, come on in and take
what you want. Then the whole world knows when Democrats
take over the country, you can pillage the United States
Treasury if you want. If you have people undesirables in
your country, you don't want there because Democrats hate the country.
They'll open up the border and you can just ship
them there Venezuela. As I've said, they emptied out their prisons.
(03:37):
They just walked into their prisons and all the murderers
and rapists and gang members.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hey, guys, pack it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Up, you're going to America. This is what happens when
Democrats take over. It happens internationally as well. If you're
in Ukraine and you want to blood suck the American
taxpayer for every single dime he has in order to
fund Ukrainian government pensions.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Did you know you're funding that? Democrats will allow that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Chure come out in. Hey take whatever you want from
the treasury, Hey take it all, just take everything again.
They're busy trash in the place, and they extend that
to the whole world. And so now Donald Trump steps
in takes over. You guys haven't taken office yet, but
he has to stop the party. It's time. Tops are
(04:23):
coming in.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Open up, shut the music off, give me that beer.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The party stop. You see what's her name? An Hello Merkel?
I never the German chancellor. She's a hag commi witch anyway,
But she said, she said, quote, the more people this
was about dealing with Trump, the more people there were
in the room, the.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Greater was his urge to be the winner. You can't
chat with him.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Every meeting is a competition you or me. All these
dirty commedy world leaders say things like that, Well what
are they actually saying? Hey, when Democrats are in office,
there's no America first because they don't give a crap
about the country. Joe Bidenmala Harris, don't go in, sit
down in these meetings and hand out all your money. Here,
(05:06):
takes some money for this, and take some money for that,
and here's another fifty billion for windmills.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And now America will just do it all. Take whatever
you want.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And then Donald Trump gets in there and says, no, actually, no, no,
you won't pillage us anymore. You're not going to do this.
You're going to pay your fair share. You're going to
stop this. I want the American president. You want the
American president to walk into these meetings and compete on
your behalf.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But to these people, they're just mortified by that.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
They're mortified at the thought of that. So let's go
back to the tariffs. Canada, Mexico. They allow these people
into our country oftentimes on purpose. Oh, I understand, we
do have illegal immigration that comes in from the oceans.
It does happen. And I understand a lot of the immigration.
(05:54):
They have quote made it legal by bringing in all
these people out of the guys that being refugees. I
get all that, But still the vast majority of the
people illegally coming into this country, the human slaves, the drugs,
to everything. They come right through Mexico with the knowledge
of the Mexicans, and they come right through Canada with
the knowledge of the Canadians. And the truth is, if
(06:16):
you're in Canada, if you're Mexico, and the American president
is going to allow you, well why.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Would you stop?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The Mexico doesn't want to deal with it. They don't
want to deal with these people. That don't want to
house these people, that don't want to feel these feed
these people. They don't want to use resources to even
stop these people.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We step aside. They step aside like a matador and
say there you go, America. Is that way? Have a
good one? Loope, And they do the same dagon thing
up in Canada. As long as the American president is
weak and aids the country that he's going to let
you just risk everybody right across your border and right
into the United States of America. So now with that
(06:56):
kind of understanding, let's talk about this threat, because that's
what this is. It's a threat, a negotiating tactic. Maybe
you want to put it that way instead of a threat,
but that's what it is. Donald Trump is saying, the
party's over the tariff threat or negotiation tactic. It's not
about economy, economics, free markets.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That has nothing to do with it at all.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It is about our neighbors being more neighborly. Now that
we have an American president who actually cares about the
United States of America. And just like those kids at
that high school party you used to be at, or
at least you heard about the rest of the world
that was enjoying looting.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Our country is not going to like it. It's not
going to be popular. However it works.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Did you know within twelve hours of Trump publicly announcing
these tariffs, the Mexican president came out and said, ah,
the migrant caravans, Yeah, we're going to put a stop
to those, and Justin Trudeau already got Donald Trump on
the phone. That's how you make things move. The cops
showed up, the music was turned off. The drinking will
be stopped because now the adults are finally back in charge.
(08:12):
And know you were not allowed to pillage the United
States of America without end. And look, this is how
we're gonna have to handle things internally as well, because
you have these states blue state after blue state, that
tubby loser, Pritzker in Illinois, all kinds of these governors
and mayor's we're not going to cooperate. We're not gonna
allow you to deport our legals. And again you got
(08:33):
to whip these dirty comedies to get what you need
out of them. Tom Holman came out and said, go
ahead and try it, see what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to
go on their own, They want to do their own thing.
To me, you've got a powerful weapon among others, which
is okay, no federal funds, boom, last thoughts, and that's.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I guarantee if President Trump will do that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's how it has to be done.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You have people coming out and saying things about that, like, hey,
I'm not comfortable with that. Hey this looks like retribution. Hey, look,
none of this is ideal ideally as a country, you
would never have one political party trying to destroy the country.
Having different political parties with different views on taxes and
(09:22):
spending and immigration and other things, that's the norm. But
having a political party that actively tries to burn the
country to the ground is not something you should have
to deal with. But that's the hand we've been dealt.
That's what we have to deal with here. We have
to try to pick up the pieces after four years
(09:43):
of Democrat destruction, both foreign wise and domestic wise. All
that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Let's talk a little bit about patriotism, shall we. It's
Christmas season. What do people want for Christmas? Well, they
always want new phones. I want a new phone.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Can I get a new phone? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
How about you get on a new phone or yourself
a new phone, a new phone service? You see Verizon
at and T and T Mobile, the big wireless companies
are horrible DEI putrid crap.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Do you want to fund that?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You can switch to Puretalk, keep your phone, or get
a brand new phone. They have all the brand new stuff.
You'll pay way less. I pay half of what I
was paying at T Mobile Now half of what I
was paying, and you get to support a company that
shares and promotes your values. Puretalk dot com, slash Jesse TV.
(10:42):
Merry Christmas, We'll be bad.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So this Jack Smith news, it's being treated as good news,
and I guess in a way it is good news.
Jack Smith came out yesterday said all these charges I've
been running at Donald Trump with We're dropping the whole thing.
But where do we go for our nine million dollars back?
And where does Donald Trump go? What do the American
people go for justice from here? Because this can't happen again.
(11:13):
Joining me now, Mark Pauletta, as he has done before,
former General Counsel for the Office of Management and Budget
under Trump. Okay, Mark, I'm glad the cases are dropped.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Who but that doesn't make us hole again. How do
we get hold again?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Jesse, thanks for having me on. Look, this lawfair was despicable.
It should have never these cases should have never been brought.
It was an abuse, going all the way back to
cross by a hurricane right back in twenty sixteen, going
after President Trump.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
They've been after him forever.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He persevered and was re elected, I think on January twentieth.
The president his team should begin what I call accountability,
which is to look into this lawfair, to look into
those who abuse their offices, looking to those who deprived
so to probably people of their rights. And that's what
you need to do. So that begins the accountability. You know,
(12:09):
I've been around long enough to remember when the Democrats
enacted the Independent Council Statute, kind of the beginnings of
law there back in nineteen seventy eight. That's the law
that was absurd in that let federal judges pick prosecutors
to go after the executive branch. And they did, and
they terrorized President Reagan and his team and it wasn't
(12:32):
and everyone loved it until it went after Bill Clinton
with Ken Starr and they realized, wow, this is not
a good idea to have out of control prosecutors, and
so they let that law lapse. This is sort of
the Independent Council two point zero. They're called special councils now.
They're actually actually controlled by the president in his team
and the Attorney general. But there needs to be accountability
(12:55):
of the not just federal prosecutors, right, but the state
prosecutor is the local prosecutors who went after President Trump
in his allies and his family and investigate and if appropriate,
prosecute them under eighteen US he two forty one, which
is a conspiracy to private rights. And that's the only way, right.
(13:18):
This isn't retribution as I call It's called accountability, holding
people accountable for their for their for their for their acts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Now, justice is what we need. We don't need retribution
or revenge, but we do need justice otherwise we don't
have the country anymore. Okay, So I'm going to use
a big lawyer word. You're gonna be very proud of me,
even though I'm stupid and uneducated. You mentioned what the
crime would be, But what do we need to find
to make sure that is prosecutorial? Did I say that
(13:47):
word right, Mark? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Plus contory yes, yes, sir, yeah, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Uh So what we need to find to make sure
that it was prosecutorial.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Looking at looking at their their conduct, their communications, what
they were seeking to do to actually go after President
Trump because he was Look, all of these things really happened, Jesse, right,
because he was a candidate. I President Trump didn't run
for office, they wouldn't have gone after him. And we
saw that right once he'd announced, They really revved it up,
(14:21):
and you saw Jack Smith going going after filing superseding
indictments weeks before the election. Those are all things that
sought to deprive President Trump of his right to run
for office, right of his rights as an American citizen.
So looking for you know, through depositions, through subpoenas, looking
at their their their communications, to see through the communications
(14:42):
between Fannie Willis right and down in Georgia and the
and the Biden team uh Tiss, James A. G. Tiss,
James Alvin Bragg. We all know they were working together, coordinating,
and so that's the kind of stuff you want to
sort of look into, dig into to to determine whether
(15:03):
there were It certainly looks like there was a conspiracy
to prior President Trump of his rights and then make
the case and appropriate prosecute them.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Okay, let's shift gears here to the FBI.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's the big fat cabinet appointment that we're all still
waiting for now. There are all kinds of talks about
cash Battel. I like cash Betel A lot there talks
about Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. This would be one
that I would be I'd be doing backflips up and
down the block if it was Andrew Bailey. But whoever
it happens to be a reformer, Let's assume we get
(15:36):
a reformer like that.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
How much power does the director.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Actually have mark to clean out the snakes in that building. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
The most important thing, Jesse Wright, is that the FBI
director and the Attorney General they work for the President
of the United States. And that's something that the left
starting kind of in the seventies, this whole idea that
the DJ and the FBI are independent and they get
to look into anything they want.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
They work on what the president directs them to work on.
President directs them not to work on something, they don't
work on something. You know, looking into these employees. You know,
the leadership I think of the FBI has gone you know,
whatever you want to call it, woke, weaponized, anti Trump,
you know, absolutely obsessed with taking down President Trump.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You know the rank.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
And file agents are you know a lot of them
are great Americans, right, trying to do their job.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
They're just told by their leadership go after you know.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You know, parents going to school boards, you know, Catholics
going to mass people, you know, pushing back on the vaccine,
all those sorts of things going after you know, h
or suppressing you know, the Hunter by Biden story with
the laptop. So you know, there there are you know,
(16:57):
civil service laws and rules, and you need to you know,
deal with them, reform them, but make every you know,
every means possible to get rid of the bad apples,
because when you look at the you know, I spent
four years, three years at OMB. When you look at
the polling of career employees, what they hate the most
(17:17):
are bad apples, people who are actually abusing the system,
who don't work, who resist, And what's very very clear,
right coming in in twenty sixteen, right was an in
tremendous victory, but from by President Trump, it was a disruptor.
This time around, right, he campaigned on a very clear,
you know, agenda of deporting illegal aliens, right, securing the
(17:41):
boarding the border, shutting down the weaponization, getting rid of DEI,
investigating anti Semitism, all those things. FBI agents and Apartment
of Justice. Career employees are required to go all in
to support those things, or they should be suspended or
termining when they when they try and block or you know,
(18:03):
slow roll these investigations. I posted on an x several
examples of of of career employees in the last administration,
stonewalling the investigation into Yale University for discrimination, and into
Andrew and Andrew Cuomo and all the elderly who were
dying in the nursing homes under COVID. Right, the career
people were fighting those things. Those people should be fired,
(18:26):
right and we should fight that if they try and
see after their after they're terminated, no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Doubt about it. Okay, let's talk about the OMB, the
Office of Management and Budget.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's not one of the big.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Names, not the sexiest office in the world, but it
is so critically important what happens at the OMB. And
now we have Russ Veldt, who was just put by
Trump in there, and I love Russ.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think that was a great pick. But what is
this office?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Mark? What do you people do over there?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It is that, my personal opinion, is the greatest office
in government. Russ vote is a dear friend. I worked
with him for three years. Fantastic pick by President Trump.
The most effective person in the first administration in my opinion,
supporting President Trump truly committed to.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Enacting, helping enact his agenda.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
What it does is it's a sort of tip of
the spear as we viewed ourselves within the Executive Office
with the President.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
They set it up so that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
There is this office that's big enough to help kind
of oversee the rest of the other agencies to help
them make them support the president's agenda. Sometimes you have agencies,
right the State Department, other places that kind of go
off track. So they help put together the budget for
the president. Right, So all the agencies submit their requests
and what they want to spend things on and all
(19:45):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
It goes into OMB.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
RUSS is the one and working with those agencies and
working with the President in the White House to finalize
that budget and make it, you know, the budget that
the President presents up to Congress. Then it's actually working
with those agencies to make sure that they are implementing
it as as the year goes along, and there's a
lot of power, there's a lot of levers to help
make sure that the president's agenda is being implemented at
(20:10):
the agency level.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
And so that's that's what OMB does by and large.
When President Trump was.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Looking when Congress refused to give him the money he
asked for to build the wall along the southern border.
He came to us, I was the General Counselor at
the time, looking said find money for me in the
federal budget.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
That's what we did. We went, because we have lots
of experts.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
We found you know, billions of dollars at the Department
of Defense that we were able to tap when the President.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Declared an emergency to build the wall.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
When the President had concerns about the Ukraine money, uh
and the corruption that was over there, and he wanted
to pause that money, I was the wh and wrote
the legal opinion to pause that money so the president
could have time to review, you know, his options of
how to spend that money. So it's those sorts of
things that OMB does. It's it's within the executive box
of the president. It is a I want to say
(20:57):
it's a secret, but it's it's below the radar office.
That is A is a great machine, an engine to
help the president, and russbo is the best person he
could have possibly picked for that position.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I'm a fan. Mark. I'm gonna ask you someone.
I want you to be honest, John camera here, do
you still have any of the business cards that say
general counsel on there you do, don't you? Don't you?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I do.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I bought them.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
I don't mind. You buy your own cards when you're
when you're a government place. Yes, I still have lots
of them. And uh, and we'll see what the next
administration holds.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I'd hand those cards out to everybody just to brag.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Mark appreciate it, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask something I can't
even believe I have to ask this, But.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Is Kamala Harris gonna run again?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Because there are a lot of rumors out there that
Dome is gonna run again? We have a panel to
discuss that next. Before let me discuss that, let's discuss
you and how you sleep at night, more importantly, how
you wake in the morning. That's what sleeping is all about.
That's how you feel when you wake up.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There are I know there are a hundred a thousand
things you can take to help you sleep, prescription.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Over the counter things. I know there are. I have
tried one thing.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
In my entire life that makes me still feel good
when I wake up. A bunch of things can put
me to sleep. But I always wake up exhausted. Not
dream powder from being It's hot chocolate only it's hot
chocolate that'll put you to sleep. It's got all natural
things in it, like melatonin. You drink dream powder from
Beam and you just kind of go out and when
(22:44):
you wake up, you feel like I feel every single day.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Did you want that?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Up?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
The forty percent off Shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We'll be back all right.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I can't believe what I'm about to say, but I
can believe what I'm about to say. I know that
sounds stupid, but I'm stupid. So Kamala Harris. There are
a lot of rumors which means she's already thinking about it,
that she's running again, that she's gonna run again in
twenty twenty eight, that unlikable Hank is going to give
it another run, And I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Understand these people.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
These people get so in love with politics in the limelight.
I'll never get it anyway, Maybe she'll win. You might
be the nominee with all the fruitcakes they have in
that party. Joining me now. Alexis Wilkins, host of Between
the Headlines on Rumble and Breonna Lyon A Lineman, Sorry,
elections correspondent at the Federalist. I love her election coverage. Okay, Alexis,
(23:51):
let's start with you. If I was as historically unpopular
as Dome and I just lost a billion dollars on
a disastrous presidential I would maybe do something else.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Yes, I think any regular person, or any sane person
rather would consider maybe downsizing the concept of their campaign
at least. I mean, if not get out of politics
you wasted a billion dollars, maybe you know, consider the
California governor position or literally anything else besides the Oval office.
(24:26):
The American people thought that Kamala Harris was widely unlikable,
even people in her own party, and I think it's
just a testament to how empty the bench is for them.
You know, they've spent an entire couple of decades just
propping people up, and now they're really you know.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Reaping what they sold, reaping what they sewed.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Because they don't have anyone to put up there that
they don't have to install.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Brianna, you were all over the selection. I was following
all your stuff on social so maybe you can break
this down for me. I know why I don't like Dome.
You know, I'm pretty sure I understand, or at least
I have an idea of why you two would not
like her. But Democrats like anybody they're handed in general,
do they not? I mean, you could hand those people
with crap sandwich and they'll tell you how delicious it is.
(25:11):
Why did they hate Kamala Harris so much?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, I think that they're willing to go to grade
lengths to defend members of her own party.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
If me be.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
The Democratic Party, though, does not like Kamala Harris. When
Joe Biden announced he was running, I believe it was
Nancy Pelosi Barack Obama who behind the scenes were thinking
she was not going to be the best candidate for
Democrats to run. Unfortunately, Joe Biden kind of shived them
and immediately endorse her, so it would have been hard
to replace her. When we talk about the fact that
she may run for president again, I think it's better
for her to run for governor. And I say it
(25:41):
because of this. The one thing that people who run
for presidency multiple times Donald Trump twenty sixteen, twenty twenty
twenty four, the one thing he has that Kamala did
not have. From twenty twenty to twenty twenty four is momentum.
He was able to expand his face. His movement only
grew stronger. Kamala Harris doesn't have them. If you don't
have that, you cannot succesily run a campaign. So if
(26:01):
she becomes governor, she will be able to say she
was successful in California because they're so far left, and
that will also give her time to distance herself from
her administration and give her a real shot in what
twenty thirty two?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, So if it's not going to be domed in
twenty twenty eight, who's on the bench. I would say
Josh Shapiro O Brianna, but he has a Jewish problem
with this new Democrat party that seems to hate Jews.
Who's it going to be?
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Yeah, you know, I'm happy you said Jos Shapiro not
Gavin Newsom, because I think the conventional wisdom is that
it would be Gavin. But Gavin is highly unpopular within
his own safe They've seen a high amount of exodus.
Josh Shapiro tries to bill himself as a moderate, and
I think that right now the media has gone along
with it. But I do think if he was to
throw his hat in the rink. Conservative media would take
the necessary steps to show that he is not a moderate.
(26:50):
This man is a far leftist. He sat by while
Bob Casey just tried to steal the Senate race. He
did nothing about that. That's not a moderate candidate. That's
a far left activist.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The LGBTQ plus, I don't know. I'm too old.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I lost track of all the stupid letters and things
like that they're using now. It's something that has become
a millstone around the neck of the communists in this country,
and they don't seem to be able to let it go.
Senator Duckworth was on TV. Is what she said, We.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Have issues here in this country, and yet she's worried
about one member of Congress using the bathroom number one.
I think her position is disgusting and wrong, But I
also think that we have a lot more to worry
about than where somebody goes to.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Pe Alexis this issue this general issue. It's not popular.
It didn't resonate with the voters. One of the most
popular ads Trump ran was that ad about Dome wanting
to buy training surgeries for all the prisoners. This is
not a good issue for them, yet they don't appear
to be able to let it go.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
No, And this is the thing, this is exactly why
they lost. They continue down these issues that are too
woke for even the woke. You know, I have friends
who have friends who voted, you know, for Joe Biden
in twenty twenty and have been historically pretty leftist, and
they even arrived at the twenty twenty four conclusion of
we went too far left and these issues and these
(28:15):
ideologies that are just being shoved down people's throats. You know,
even the left is tired of it, and they're picking
these very.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Very niche issues.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You know, at the end of the day, the trans thing,
it's it's a good talking point and a good headline
if you want to make a big deal out of
it and a big fit out of it. But at
the end of the day, you know, it's not going
to win elections. It doesn't garner voters, especially not in
the same way that the economy and illegal immigration and
national security can. And they just keep going down this
same path even post election. And so it makes me wonder,
(28:45):
you know, about their empty bench, about their empty ideology.
You know, I saw some tweets that were saying, you know, hey,
I'm going to start gathering people together Scott Presler's style
on the left, that is, because that seemed to work.
You know, I think that the left, who has been traditionally,
you know, thought of more grassroots, has completely lost their
grassroots ideals and their grassroots you know, even concepts to
(29:05):
know what their voting based cares about, especially when we're
all paying left or right for the same groceries and
the same economy that is totally train wrecked. So I
think that they're just continuing down this path until they
correct it.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
They're not going to go anywhere with it. I'm actually
glad you brought up their messaging Alec Bald when there's
little video floating around online Alec baldwhen well, here he
is talking about how uninformed we are. There's a whole
there's a vacuum.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans.
Americans are very uninformed about reality. What's really going on
with climate change, Ukraine is you name it, all the
biggest topics in the world. Americans have an appetite for
a little bit of information. That vacuum is filled by
(29:56):
the film industry.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Rihanna. I've found their messaging on everything, the economy, everything
to be so snobbish cold. I'm not even sure what
word I want to put on that, because I went
to community college. But they kept telling people there's no inflation,
the economy's doing good, the border's fine. It's all your imagination.
You're just the more on Thanksgiving doesn't cost more. Look,
even if they actually believed that, they used to be
(30:21):
smart enough to not say it.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Yeah, and here what is what Alec Baldwin said at
the end. He said that that vacuum is being filled
or has to be filled by Hollywood. Americans resoundly rejected
on November fifty idea that the Hollywood apparatus, the left
wing pundits would set the narrative for the American public
and that they had the ability to guess like the
American public about the same the economy, for example, and
I think it was CNN that came out and recently said,
(30:44):
you know, X is more emblematic of the state of
this country. And on X we see people saying the
economy actually isn't that great. Things aren't so great. Bill
Clinton recently said that one of the problems the Democrats
had the selection cycle is they spoke down to voters
and said the economy's good and you better believe and
so what the left is talking about, what Alec Baldwin
basically says, is that they don't like that they've now
(31:05):
lost control and they've lost the ability to set the narrative.
I think that's also why you see a push to
target Elon Muskin X, because they need to regain these
different channels to regain their control on the American public.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
All, alexis real quick. Are we going to get any
kind of a bounce back in the media world? I
should say the Hollywood world, because that's your world, the
whole actors and actresses and singers and fancy people stuff.
They've all been a bunch of comedy dirtballs for so long.
But it seems like they're being more willing now to
be open and vocal about that. Sylvester Stallone's giving speeches
(31:37):
at mar Lago. Is your industry turning it around at all?
You know?
Speaker 7 (31:45):
I do feel optimistic that they're starting to understand that
that doesn't reach people or voters, or even just people
who are consuming the media. But we're still seeing the
same pushes. You know, these people, it's not that they've
been given orders and they're just executing orders. They really
do think that they're better than the American people, which
is why, you know, even though I'm in music, it's
(32:05):
it's not really the world I fit in with. It's
it's an elitist group of people who push their ideals
and they're doing it from their you know, thirty thousand
foot view. As we just saw Alec Baldwin say, he's
basically calling the average American voter and media consumer stupid.
I mean, that's effectively what he's saying. And at the
end of the day, you know, on November fifth, we
(32:26):
learned that the American people don't like being spoken down to.
They don't like the elitist, they don't like being called stupid.
We don't like when Mark Cuban says that women are
weak and dumb. You know, people come back from that
with what they actually believe. And I think that that's
what's happening. And if we see any kind of you know,
alternate people wanting to speak up, I think that that
will be met with positivity. Because the people who came
(32:48):
out against President Trump and call the American people stupid.
It's not going to go well for them trying to
gain that audience back. And frankly, even just watching this
clip of Alec Baldwin, it doesn't seem like that's what
they're willing to do, because honestly, I think that they
have their hands too dirty within the entertainment industry. But
that's just my opinion. You know, they're kind of they're
kind of at the neck here.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Mark Cuban's a confusing person for me. He's a billionaire
and that hair, the dye job is so bad. Just
shave it, Mark, Look at me.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I just let it go. You gotta let it go.
Everyone knows that's a dye job. Mark.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Ladies, thank you, come back to you, and I appreciate it.
Why would you do that when you're a billionaire. No
one will No one tell him about his hair. Look
at me, Mark, I'm still pulling it off right. Just
buzz it down, buddy. Anyway, Let's save a baby really quick,
give something to preborn. This is the Christmas season and
(33:40):
there are a lot of very confused young ladies out there,
scared obviously, and right now you know what they're doing.
I'll tell you what they're doing right now. They're on
their phone looking for how to get an abortion.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Where can I go? What do I do? How do
I kill it?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's a reality as we speak, as you're watching me
right now. That's happening in this country, all over this country.
Preborn they find that young lady and they just offer
her help, a free ultrasound free and if she needs
help after that, because when she gets the ultrasound, she'll
choose life. If she needs stipers, if she needs formula,
if she needs counseling it. Preborn is there, hands and feet,
(34:18):
saving lives. Help them, and everything you give to preborn
is tax deductible.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
The ultrasound costs twenty eight bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Give them a grand, if you can give them five bucks,
whatever you have, it goes for the babies. It goes
to the babies. Preborn dot com slash Jesse.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
So now Lauren's just gonna kind of douse this. She's
gonna bathe this birth, bathe the bird. It's getting a
nice stuff.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
Yeah yeah, there we go, right, So just.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Smell this.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
So we're gonna pop this into a three hundred and
seventy five degree up.
Speaker 11 (35:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll look at this heat, right, So
what I'm actually going to do is that I am
now going to take this bird.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Okay, and take it off the rack and I'm gonna
put it onto our cutting board and let it cool.
So look at this, Look at this, that nice crispy
skin on there.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I hate gruel. I'm always starving every time I look
at any and every time I watch American Gravy, every
time you post something on X even if I'm just eating,
I just end up sitting there almost Drouled just now
joining me now host of American Gravy, which you can
watch right here on the first TV The Great Chef
Andrew Groul. Okay, Chef tell us about the show.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
We're just going through the classics. I mean, it's really easy, approachable, simple,
crave worthy food, nothing too over intellectual about it. You know,
I'm not trying to redefine anything, but get everybody in
the kitchen understand it a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's our goal, okay, Chef. First of all, Turkey. As
you know, I'm not going to go into it. Everyone
knows it's not my thing. I'm very loudly against it.
But there are a bunch of people with no standards
watching this show who are going to have turkey, And
you have, from what I understand from my producer, the
ultimate way to prepare it. He made it the way
(36:24):
you said last year and said it was the best
thing he's ever eaten in his life. So I will
reluctantly hand you the floor. How should all these savages
prepare their turkey?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
All right? So you got to do the dry brine,
and that's actually when you salt the bird twenty four
hours ahead of time, put it in the refrigerator uncovered, right,
Because what you're doing is you're drying the exterior of
the bird out. That's creating a pellicle, which means you
can get crispier skin on the bird, which is really
what makes the bird, or at least to some degree.
So do the dry brind for twenty four hours. Then
when you get the bird out right, you want to cut.
(36:56):
That's like I'm doing right there. You want to cut
the backbone out of the bird, flip it over and
press it down so it's flattened. It's called spatch cocking.
I repeat, it's called spatch cocking. And that is where
the bird is flattened. It cooks evenly, your legs are tender,
meltingly tender, if you will, and your breasts cook at
a better rate so that they're not dried out by
(37:17):
the time the legs are cooked, and your bird is
going to be crispier. Plus it takes you like half
the time it would if you did that big round bird.
So once again, sea salt or any salt dry brine,
split the bird, press it down, and then roast it
at a high temp.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That's it spatch cocking, I'll bet you.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
That's how Kamala Harris prepares her tell us about costs
in the food industry because everyone complains now understandably, so
restaurant menus have been pared down. I don't know, they.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Took my favorite item off.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Food's gotten more expensive, cost you a hundred bucks to
take family afford to red lobster anymore, and people are
just frantic about it. Why have the costs gone up
so high in the food industry.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
It's multi causal, I mean it's pretty complex. But first
and foremost inflation, right, and fuel costs. So when fuel
costs go up, all the food prices are gonna go
up because if I buy a product, right, it takes
six different trucks for it to be delivered to me.
So you've got that element, and then you've also got
all these supply chain disruptions overseas Ukraine. People ask, well,
(38:20):
why does what's happening in Ukraine affect my food costs here? Well,
we rely so much on the global market for our food,
which is why I think the tariffs are so important,
because we bring a lot of it back home. Then
when you've got these conflicts overseas, it's not gonna affect
our food prices here. So the big three food prices
are its fuel cost, it is inflation generally, and then
(38:41):
it's any international event that's affecting these.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Chef the American consumer.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I realized door dash and uber eats and things like
that has really really changed the restaurant industry, but restaurants
haven't gone away. How does it change things for restaurants?
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Well, DoorDash uber eats. They take thirty percent of all
of the sales, so you're only increasing revenue but not
profit when you use door dash or uber eats. And
it's been this necessary evil and they consolidate at the top.
Now they don't make any money. All they're doing is
is that they're taking investor money in order to increase
(39:24):
their size of business and almost act in a mafioso
style to make the restaurants use them, so the restaurants
feel as if it's necessary. The next guy does it,
and the next guy does it, then they all got
to do it. The pandemic consolidated that process by which
they really kind of took hold of restaurants. Now I'm
a principal guy. I'll throw every the baby in the
bath water, all of it away. However, the cliche goes,
(39:46):
I don't use any of those third party delivery outlets
because screw them. And if I go under because of it,
well then I'll just end up washing dishes for the
rest of my life. But they're pretty evil. I'm not
gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Tell me about no taxes on tips.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
No tax on tips. It's the best thing that can
happen for the United States. And let me tell you why.
Number One, you're removing taxes for a huge sector of
an industry that in and of itself on principle is
great because it's dominoes. Do that for one industry, then
as goes in America, well, why can't I get that
done for my industry. Well, let's go ahead and do
(40:19):
it for your industry. So let's just remove taxes altogether.
But the thing about the no tax on tips from
a payroll perspective is that fifteen to twenty percent of
my total payroll amount is the tips on the consumme
on the waiters and waitresses tax the taxes on their tips.
Excuse me, got my mix all talked up here. So
when you're actually cutting those taxes for the server, you're
(40:44):
also cutting it for the business. That saves me upwards
of six figures a year. So you're putting more money
in the server's pocket, which is more money they can
spend in the economy. And then you're making my payroll
more consistent because the thing is I don't know how
much they're going to make in tips every week. So
let's say say Joe Schmoe made five thousand dollars extra
and tips, and I got to pay twenty five percent
payroll taxes on that. Well, my payroll this week just
(41:06):
jacked up fifteen hundred fifteen hundred dollars, right, So it's
a It screws the business, it screws the worker, and
it's the right thing to do to remove them altogether.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
I like it. Chef, thank you so much. Everybody go
watch American gravy. Right here on the first I give
you what you should be eating for Thanksgiving. Next, all right,
it is time to lighten the mood. And what I'm
(41:39):
about to say. We've talked about this before. I understand
against people's blood up. It gets people angry. But not
all traditions are great. Some are great. You know, here
in America at a baseball game, we sing the national anthem.
It's a great tradition, right and God we trust print
it on our money. These are these are wonderful tradition.
(42:00):
But not all traditions are great. Remember that that old
I think it was in Japan, pretty positive was they
used to back in the day, They used to do
foot binding on the women.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
They wanted the women to.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Have short, small feet, and so they tie them up
and basically abuse these women. Like that's not a good tradition.
So some traditions like footbinding should be left behind. I
want you to think about having turkey for Thanksgiving as footbinding.
Why are you still binding your feet? You need to
(42:32):
let you need to let that go. But I don't
just want to criticize. I don't want to be that
person who says, hey, don't do this. You don't want
to be that guy. Offer solutions. If you're going to criticize,
offer solutions. So I thought it would be beneficial to
maybe give you a little top five list Thanksgiving foods.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
You want to break tradition this year, you want to
blow people away, Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Number five Mac and cheese. Now I know what you're thinking, Jesse.
You're talking about Kraft Mac and cheese. No, actually no,
I am white trash, but I'm not talking about Kraft Mac.
Because it's Thanksgiving. It's a special occasion. So you take
that wonderful box of Kraft Mac and you set it aside,
and you reach for the box of Velveta shells and cheese.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
It's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Spend a little extra money, do it upright, creamy deliciousness.
Even better the next day if you're doing really well financially.
And I realize many people are not go two boxes anyway,
Kraft Mac, not Kraftmac, not Kraftmac. I'm sorry, Valveda shells
and cheese. The Kraft Bac has to wait for another day.
Number four garlic bread. I don't even really have to
(43:43):
throw this on the list, because, as you know, if
you've watched I'm Right for any length of time, you
know that garlic bread it's the universal side. It's the
greatest side by a mile. It's superior to all other
sides of any meal. Garlic bread is superior to bacon.
It is you know what the best side you can
have is with everything garlic bad. You don't have to
(44:06):
hassle over or haggle over it, over it. You don't
have to argue with yourself. I'm not sure should we
get Nobody has ever seen a big pile of garlic
bread and thought, oh dang, is there anything else? No,
everyone dives in because everyone loves garlic bread. Number three,
you want to blow people away this Thanksgiving chicken wings, Jesse,
(44:30):
that's crazy. It's the highest form of chicken there is.
Chicken wings. Toss them in a good buffalo sauce. If
you want to go crazy, maybe do a lemon pepper
something like that. But I would recommend buffalo because listen, listen.
Maybe you're thinking I'm crazy so far. Think about your
plate already. You have valveda shells and cheese, you have
garlic bread, and now you have your buffalo wings. But
(44:53):
what's going to happen the buffalo wings sauce? It's going
to start to spread all over the plate. And oh,
what's that? Got some buffalo wing sauce in my velveta
shells and cheese like that won't be delicious? Up up,
it's starting to it's starting to spread around a little bit.
I better take some garlic bread and soop up some
of that wing sauce. Oh did I get some cheese
on that garlic bed as well? Now were you seeing
(45:15):
the magic IM laying out for you right here? Number
two French fries. Everyone talks about. We got to have
the mashed potatoes. This is not your grandma's house. Mashed
potatoes suck. Okay, French fries are the superior.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Form of potato. Everyone knows it.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Maybe a tato taught I will allow, but we'll go
French fries. And finally, what's the main course? Because you're
not gonna have buffalo wings and velveta for your main course?
What's number one? Well you're gonna have to go watch
that on my YouTube channel. Not only do I roll
out number one, I tell you how to make number
one what's my main course?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
This year and every year? Go to YouTube.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Dot com slash at Jesse KELLYDC and figure out how
to eat like a king. Stop footbinding on Thanksgiving. I'll
see you next week.
What's with these Trump tariffs? I will explain what's happening.
Jack Smith dropped the cases against Trump? Is that enough?
Is Kamala Harris really going to run again? You gotta
hang on so you can watch that segment. All that
and what I'm having for Thanksgiving? And I'm right, what's
(00:27):
with these tariffs? I'm seeing a lot of this right now.
And for those who are not up to date on
the news, allow me to pretend to be a journalist
really quickly and explain what Trump has been putting out
there publicly. He's been publicly saying. In fact, he publicly
said Canada, Mexico, you need to stop the flow of
(00:49):
illegal immigration and drugs into this country across your border.
And if you don't twenty five percent tariff on day
one on all the goods that are coming across, I'm
gonna slap a twenty five percent tariff on you. Okay.
They did the same thing with China, told them, Hey,
this fentanyl gotta stop. Ten percent tariff on Chinese goods,
you better make it stop. Okay, let's pause on this
(01:11):
because there are a lot of people of different economic
persuasions understandably arguing about this and you know what, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's fine to have good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Fiscal policy debate if you're a political nerd like you are,
and like I am, argue with your friends. I love tariffs,
I hate tariffs, but what's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Is not about tariffs.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's not about free markets or free trade or tariffs
or whatnot. You ever go to a party in high
school you weren't supposed to. This will just stay with me.
You ever go to a party in high school you
weren't supposed to? Most people have. I'm not encouraging you
kids watching to do this. There's nothing good that's going
to happen there. But most people have done this at
some point in their lives. You end up at a
(01:51):
party or sophomore junior in high school. People were drinking there,
and there's illegal things going on, age drinking things like that,
and the music gets loud and everyone's having a good
time and it feels dangerous and woo. Not that I've
ever done this before. And then if you grew up
(02:12):
where I grew up, the cops are gonna show up.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Eventually.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
You're gonna see flashing lights everywhere, multiple cop cars in
They come through the front door and well, the party's over.
And in that moment, you know what, nobody ever, ever,
ever says. Nobody says, whoa thank goodness, the cops are here.
About time we got this thing closed down and wrapped up.
(02:38):
No one ever says that. No one's a big fan
of the cops. In that moment, we just want to
party and live it up. But you got to have
the cops there because the party has to stop. What
happens when Democrats take over the United States of America
because they hate America. Now, this new Democrat party hates
the country. What happens is, you see, they the country
(03:01):
and they just want to loot America dry. They want
to loot the treasury and they begin the looting process.
But they don't isolate it to just them. You see,
when Democrats take over, they really tell everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They just put the signam.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Out to the world, Hey, come on in and take
what you want. Then the whole world knows when Democrats
take over the country, you can pillage the United States
Treasury if you want. If you have people undesirables in
your country, you don't want there because Democrats hate the country.
They'll open up the border and you can just ship
them there Venezuela. As I've said, they emptied out their prisons.
(03:37):
They just walked into their prisons and all the murderers
and rapists and gang members.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hey, guys, pack it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Up, you're going to America. This is what happens when
Democrats take over. It happens internationally as well. If you're
in Ukraine and you want to blood suck the American
taxpayer for every single dime he has in order to
fund Ukrainian government pensions.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Did you know you're funding that? Democrats will allow that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Chure come out in. Hey take whatever you want from
the treasury, Hey take it all, just take everything again.
They're busy trash in the place, and they extend that
to the whole world. And so now Donald Trump steps
in takes over. You guys haven't taken office yet, but
he has to stop the party. It's time. Tops are
(04:23):
coming in.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Open up, shut the music off, give me that beer.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The party stop. You see what's her name? An Hello Merkel?
I never the German chancellor. She's a hag commi witch anyway,
But she said, she said, quote, the more people this
was about dealing with Trump, the more people there were
in the room, the.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Greater was his urge to be the winner. You can't
chat with him.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Every meeting is a competition you or me. All these
dirty commedy world leaders say things like that, Well what
are they actually saying? Hey, when Democrats are in office,
there's no America first because they don't give a crap
about the country. Joe Bidenmala Harris, don't go in, sit
down in these meetings and hand out all your money. Here,
(05:06):
takes some money for this, and take some money for that,
and here's another fifty billion for windmills.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And now America will just do it all. Take whatever
you want.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And then Donald Trump gets in there and says, no, actually, no, no,
you won't pillage us anymore. You're not going to do this.
You're going to pay your fair share. You're going to
stop this. I want the American president. You want the
American president to walk into these meetings and compete on
your behalf.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But to these people, they're just mortified by that.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
They're mortified at the thought of that. So let's go
back to the tariffs. Canada, Mexico. They allow these people
into our country oftentimes on purpose. Oh, I understand, we
do have illegal immigration that comes in from the oceans.
It does happen. And I understand a lot of the immigration.
(05:54):
They have quote made it legal by bringing in all
these people out of the guys that being refugees. I
get all that, But still the vast majority of the
people illegally coming into this country, the human slaves, the drugs,
to everything. They come right through Mexico with the knowledge
of the Mexicans, and they come right through Canada with
the knowledge of the Canadians. And the truth is, if
(06:16):
you're in Canada, if you're Mexico, and the American president
is going to allow you, well why.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Would you stop?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The Mexico doesn't want to deal with it. They don't
want to deal with these people. That don't want to
house these people, that don't want to feel these feed
these people. They don't want to use resources to even
stop these people.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So what do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We step aside. They step aside like a matador and
say there you go, America. Is that way? Have a
good one? Loope, And they do the same dagon thing
up in Canada. As long as the American president is
weak and aids the country that he's going to let
you just risk everybody right across your border and right
into the United States of America. So now with that
(06:56):
kind of understanding, let's talk about this threat, because that's
what this is. It's a threat, a negotiating tactic. Maybe
you want to put it that way instead of a threat,
but that's what it is. Donald Trump is saying, the
party's over the tariff threat or negotiation tactic. It's not
about economy, economics, free markets.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That has nothing to do with it at all.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It is about our neighbors being more neighborly. Now that
we have an American president who actually cares about the
United States of America. And just like those kids at
that high school party you used to be at, or
at least you heard about the rest of the world
that was enjoying looting.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Our country is not going to like it. It's not
going to be popular. However it works.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Did you know within twelve hours of Trump publicly announcing
these tariffs, the Mexican president came out and said, ah,
the migrant caravans, Yeah, we're going to put a stop
to those, and Justin Trudeau already got Donald Trump on
the phone. That's how you make things move. The cops
showed up, the music was turned off. The drinking will
be stopped because now the adults are finally back in charge.
(08:12):
And know you were not allowed to pillage the United
States of America without end. And look, this is how
we're gonna have to handle things internally as well, because
you have these states blue state after blue state, that
tubby loser, Pritzker in Illinois, all kinds of these governors
and mayor's we're not going to cooperate. We're not gonna
allow you to deport our legals. And again you got
(08:33):
to whip these dirty comedies to get what you need
out of them. Tom Holman came out and said, go
ahead and try it, see what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
But these states, much like the Confederacy, they want to
go on their own, They want to do their own thing.
To me, you've got a powerful weapon among others, which
is okay, no federal funds, boom, last thoughts, and that's.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I guarantee if President Trump will do that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
That's how it has to be done.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You have people coming out and saying things about that, like, hey,
I'm not comfortable with that. Hey this looks like retribution. Hey, look,
none of this is ideal ideally as a country, you
would never have one political party trying to destroy the country.
Having different political parties with different views on taxes and
(09:22):
spending and immigration and other things, that's the norm. But
having a political party that actively tries to burn the
country to the ground is not something you should have
to deal with. But that's the hand we've been dealt.
That's what we have to deal with here. We have
to try to pick up the pieces after four years
(09:43):
of Democrat destruction, both foreign wise and domestic wise. All
that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Let's talk a little bit about patriotism, shall we. It's
Christmas season. What do people want for Christmas? Well, they
always want new phones. I want a new phone.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Can I get a new phone? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
How about you get on a new phone or yourself
a new phone, a new phone service? You see Verizon
at and T and T Mobile, the big wireless companies
are horrible DEI putrid crap.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Do you want to fund that?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You can switch to Puretalk, keep your phone, or get
a brand new phone. They have all the brand new stuff.
You'll pay way less. I pay half of what I
was paying at T Mobile Now half of what I
was paying, and you get to support a company that
shares and promotes your values. Puretalk dot com, slash Jesse TV.
(10:42):
Merry Christmas, We'll be bad.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So this Jack Smith news, it's being treated as good news,
and I guess in a way it is good news.
Jack Smith came out yesterday said all these charges I've
been running at Donald Trump with We're dropping the whole thing.
But where do we go for our nine million dollars back?
And where does Donald Trump go? What do the American
people go for justice from here? Because this can't happen again.
(11:13):
Joining me now, Mark Pauletta, as he has done before,
former General Counsel for the Office of Management and Budget
under Trump. Okay, Mark, I'm glad the cases are dropped.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Who but that doesn't make us hole again. How do
we get hold again?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Jesse, thanks for having me on. Look, this lawfair was despicable.
It should have never these cases should have never been brought.
It was an abuse, going all the way back to
cross by a hurricane right back in twenty sixteen, going
after President Trump.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
They've been after him forever.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He persevered and was re elected, I think on January twentieth.
The president his team should begin what I call accountability,
which is to look into this lawfair, to look into
those who abuse their offices, looking to those who deprived
so to probably people of their rights. And that's what
you need to do. So that begins the accountability. You know,
(12:09):
I've been around long enough to remember when the Democrats
enacted the Independent Council Statute, kind of the beginnings of
law there back in nineteen seventy eight. That's the law
that was absurd in that let federal judges pick prosecutors
to go after the executive branch. And they did, and
they terrorized President Reagan and his team and it wasn't
(12:32):
and everyone loved it until it went after Bill Clinton
with Ken Starr and they realized, wow, this is not
a good idea to have out of control prosecutors, and
so they let that law lapse. This is sort of
the Independent Council two point zero. They're called special councils now.
They're actually actually controlled by the president in his team
and the Attorney general. But there needs to be accountability
(12:55):
of the not just federal prosecutors, right, but the state
prosecutor is the local prosecutors who went after President Trump
in his allies and his family and investigate and if appropriate,
prosecute them under eighteen US he two forty one, which
is a conspiracy to private rights. And that's the only way, right.
(13:18):
This isn't retribution as I call It's called accountability, holding
people accountable for their for their for their for their acts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Now, justice is what we need. We don't need retribution
or revenge, but we do need justice otherwise we don't
have the country anymore. Okay, So I'm going to use
a big lawyer word. You're gonna be very proud of me,
even though I'm stupid and uneducated. You mentioned what the
crime would be, But what do we need to find
to make sure that is prosecutorial? Did I say that
(13:47):
word right, Mark? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Plus contory yes, yes, sir, yeah, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Uh So what we need to find to make sure
that it was prosecutorial.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Looking at looking at their their conduct, their communications, what
they were seeking to do to actually go after President
Trump because he was Look, all of these things really happened, Jesse, right,
because he was a candidate. I President Trump didn't run
for office, they wouldn't have gone after him. And we
saw that right once he'd announced, They really revved it up,
(14:21):
and you saw Jack Smith going going after filing superseding
indictments weeks before the election. Those are all things that
sought to deprive President Trump of his right to run
for office, right of his rights as an American citizen.
So looking for you know, through depositions, through subpoenas, looking
at their their their communications, to see through the communications
(14:42):
between Fannie Willis right and down in Georgia and the
and the Biden team uh Tiss, James A. G. Tiss,
James Alvin Bragg. We all know they were working together, coordinating,
and so that's the kind of stuff you want to
sort of look into, dig into to to determine whether
(15:03):
there were It certainly looks like there was a conspiracy
to prior President Trump of his rights and then make
the case and appropriate prosecute them.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Okay, let's shift gears here to the FBI.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's the big fat cabinet appointment that we're all still
waiting for now. There are all kinds of talks about
cash Battel. I like cash Betel A lot there talks
about Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. This would be one
that I would be I'd be doing backflips up and
down the block if it was Andrew Bailey. But whoever
it happens to be a reformer, Let's assume we get
(15:36):
a reformer like that.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
How much power does the director.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Actually have mark to clean out the snakes in that building. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
The most important thing, Jesse Wright, is that the FBI
director and the Attorney General they work for the President
of the United States. And that's something that the left
starting kind of in the seventies, this whole idea that
the DJ and the FBI are independent and they get
to look into anything they want.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
They work on what the president directs them to work on.
President directs them not to work on something, they don't
work on something. You know, looking into these employees. You know,
the leadership I think of the FBI has gone you know,
whatever you want to call it, woke, weaponized, anti Trump,
you know, absolutely obsessed with taking down President Trump.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You know the rank.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
And file agents are you know a lot of them
are great Americans, right, trying to do their job.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
They're just told by their leadership go after you know.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You know, parents going to school boards, you know, Catholics
going to mass people, you know, pushing back on the vaccine,
all those sorts of things going after you know, h
or suppressing you know, the Hunter by Biden story with
the laptop. So you know, there there are you know,
(16:57):
civil service laws and rules, and you need to you know,
deal with them, reform them, but make every you know,
every means possible to get rid of the bad apples,
because when you look at the you know, I spent
four years, three years at OMB. When you look at
the polling of career employees, what they hate the most
(17:17):
are bad apples, people who are actually abusing the system,
who don't work, who resist, And what's very very clear,
right coming in in twenty sixteen, right was an in
tremendous victory, but from by President Trump, it was a disruptor.
This time around, right, he campaigned on a very clear,
you know, agenda of deporting illegal aliens, right, securing the
(17:41):
boarding the border, shutting down the weaponization, getting rid of DEI,
investigating anti Semitism, all those things. FBI agents and Apartment
of Justice. Career employees are required to go all in
to support those things, or they should be suspended or
termining when they when they try and block or you know,
(18:03):
slow roll these investigations. I posted on an x several
examples of of of career employees in the last administration,
stonewalling the investigation into Yale University for discrimination, and into
Andrew and Andrew Cuomo and all the elderly who were
dying in the nursing homes under COVID. Right, the career
people were fighting those things. Those people should be fired,
(18:26):
right and we should fight that if they try and
see after their after they're terminated, no.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Doubt about it. Okay, let's talk about the OMB, the
Office of Management and Budget.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's not one of the big.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Names, not the sexiest office in the world, but it
is so critically important what happens at the OMB. And
now we have Russ Veldt, who was just put by
Trump in there, and I love Russ.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think that was a great pick. But what is
this office?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Mark? What do you people do over there?
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It is that, my personal opinion, is the greatest office
in government. Russ vote is a dear friend. I worked
with him for three years. Fantastic pick by President Trump.
The most effective person in the first administration in my opinion,
supporting President Trump truly committed to.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Enacting, helping enact his agenda.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
What it does is it's a sort of tip of
the spear as we viewed ourselves within the Executive Office
with the President.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
They set it up so that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
There is this office that's big enough to help kind
of oversee the rest of the other agencies to help
them make them support the president's agenda. Sometimes you have agencies,
right the State Department, other places that kind of go
off track. So they help put together the budget for
the president. Right, So all the agencies submit their requests
and what they want to spend things on and all
(19:45):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
It goes into OMB.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
RUSS is the one and working with those agencies and
working with the President in the White House to finalize
that budget and make it, you know, the budget that
the President presents up to Congress. Then it's actually working
with those agencies to make sure that they are implementing
it as as the year goes along, and there's a
lot of power, there's a lot of levers to help
make sure that the president's agenda is being implemented at
(20:10):
the agency level.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
And so that's that's what OMB does by and large.
When President Trump was.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Looking when Congress refused to give him the money he
asked for to build the wall along the southern border.
He came to us, I was the General Counselor at
the time, looking said find money for me in the
federal budget.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
That's what we did. We went, because we have lots
of experts.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
We found you know, billions of dollars at the Department
of Defense that we were able to tap when the President.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Declared an emergency to build the wall.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
When the President had concerns about the Ukraine money, uh
and the corruption that was over there, and he wanted
to pause that money, I was the wh and wrote
the legal opinion to pause that money so the president
could have time to review, you know, his options of
how to spend that money. So it's those sorts of
things that OMB does. It's it's within the executive box
of the president. It is a I want to say
(20:57):
it's a secret, but it's it's below the radar office.
That is A is a great machine, an engine to
help the president, and russbo is the best person he
could have possibly picked for that position.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, I'm a fan. Mark. I'm gonna ask you someone.
I want you to be honest, John camera here, do
you still have any of the business cards that say
general counsel on there you do, don't you? Don't you?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I do.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I bought them.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
I don't mind. You buy your own cards when you're
when you're a government place. Yes, I still have lots
of them. And uh, and we'll see what the next
administration holds.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I'd hand those cards out to everybody just to brag.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Mark appreciate it, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask something I can't
even believe I have to ask this, But.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Is Kamala Harris gonna run again?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Because there are a lot of rumors out there that
Dome is gonna run again? We have a panel to
discuss that next. Before let me discuss that, let's discuss
you and how you sleep at night, more importantly, how
you wake in the morning. That's what sleeping is all about.
That's how you feel when you wake up.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
There are I know there are a hundred a thousand
things you can take to help you sleep, prescription.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Over the counter things. I know there are. I have
tried one thing.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
In my entire life that makes me still feel good
when I wake up. A bunch of things can put
me to sleep. But I always wake up exhausted. Not
dream powder from being It's hot chocolate only it's hot
chocolate that'll put you to sleep. It's got all natural
things in it, like melatonin. You drink dream powder from
Beam and you just kind of go out and when
(22:44):
you wake up, you feel like I feel every single day.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Did you want that?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Up?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
The forty percent off Shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We'll be back all right.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I can't believe what I'm about to say, but I
can believe what I'm about to say. I know that
sounds stupid, but I'm stupid. So Kamala Harris. There are
a lot of rumors which means she's already thinking about it,
that she's running again, that she's gonna run again in
twenty twenty eight, that unlikable Hank is going to give
it another run, And I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Understand these people.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
These people get so in love with politics in the limelight.
I'll never get it anyway, Maybe she'll win. You might
be the nominee with all the fruitcakes they have in
that party. Joining me now. Alexis Wilkins, host of Between
the Headlines on Rumble and Breonna Lyon A Lineman, Sorry,
elections correspondent at the Federalist. I love her election coverage. Okay, Alexis,
(23:51):
let's start with you. If I was as historically unpopular
as Dome and I just lost a billion dollars on
a disastrous presidential I would maybe do something else.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Yes, I think any regular person, or any sane person
rather would consider maybe downsizing the concept of their campaign
at least. I mean, if not get out of politics
you wasted a billion dollars, maybe you know, consider the
California governor position or literally anything else besides the Oval office.
(24:26):
The American people thought that Kamala Harris was widely unlikable,
even people in her own party, and I think it's
just a testament to how empty the bench is for them.
You know, they've spent an entire couple of decades just
propping people up, and now they're really you know.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Reaping what they sold, reaping what they sewed.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Because they don't have anyone to put up there that
they don't have to install.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Brianna, you were all over the selection. I was following
all your stuff on social so maybe you can break
this down for me. I know why I don't like Dome.
You know, I'm pretty sure I understand, or at least
I have an idea of why you two would not
like her. But Democrats like anybody they're handed in general,
do they not? I mean, you could hand those people
with crap sandwich and they'll tell you how delicious it is.
(25:11):
Why did they hate Kamala Harris so much?
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Well, I think that they're willing to go to grade
lengths to defend members of her own party.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
If me be.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
The Democratic Party, though, does not like Kamala Harris. When
Joe Biden announced he was running, I believe it was
Nancy Pelosi Barack Obama who behind the scenes were thinking
she was not going to be the best candidate for
Democrats to run. Unfortunately, Joe Biden kind of shived them
and immediately endorse her, so it would have been hard
to replace her. When we talk about the fact that
she may run for president again, I think it's better
for her to run for governor. And I say it
(25:41):
because of this. The one thing that people who run
for presidency multiple times Donald Trump twenty sixteen, twenty twenty
twenty four, the one thing he has that Kamala did
not have. From twenty twenty to twenty twenty four is momentum.
He was able to expand his face. His movement only
grew stronger. Kamala Harris doesn't have them. If you don't
have that, you cannot succesily run a campaign. So if
(26:01):
she becomes governor, she will be able to say she
was successful in California because they're so far left, and
that will also give her time to distance herself from
her administration and give her a real shot in what
twenty thirty two?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, So if it's not going to be domed in
twenty twenty eight, who's on the bench. I would say
Josh Shapiro O Brianna, but he has a Jewish problem
with this new Democrat party that seems to hate Jews.
Who's it going to be?
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Yeah, you know, I'm happy you said Jos Shapiro not
Gavin Newsom, because I think the conventional wisdom is that
it would be Gavin. But Gavin is highly unpopular within
his own safe They've seen a high amount of exodus.
Josh Shapiro tries to bill himself as a moderate, and
I think that right now the media has gone along
with it. But I do think if he was to
throw his hat in the rink. Conservative media would take
the necessary steps to show that he is not a moderate.
(26:50):
This man is a far leftist. He sat by while
Bob Casey just tried to steal the Senate race. He
did nothing about that. That's not a moderate candidate. That's
a far left activist.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The LGBTQ plus, I don't know. I'm too old.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I lost track of all the stupid letters and things
like that they're using now. It's something that has become
a millstone around the neck of the communists in this country,
and they don't seem to be able to let it go.
Senator Duckworth was on TV. Is what she said, We.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
Have issues here in this country, and yet she's worried
about one member of Congress using the bathroom number one.
I think her position is disgusting and wrong, But I
also think that we have a lot more to worry
about than where somebody goes to.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Pe Alexis this issue this general issue. It's not popular.
It didn't resonate with the voters. One of the most
popular ads Trump ran was that ad about Dome wanting
to buy training surgeries for all the prisoners. This is
not a good issue for them, yet they don't appear
to be able to let it go.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
No, And this is the thing, this is exactly why
they lost. They continue down these issues that are too
woke for even the woke. You know, I have friends
who have friends who voted, you know, for Joe Biden
in twenty twenty and have been historically pretty leftist, and
they even arrived at the twenty twenty four conclusion of
we went too far left and these issues and these
(28:15):
ideologies that are just being shoved down people's throats. You know,
even the left is tired of it, and they're picking
these very.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Very niche issues.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You know, at the end of the day, the trans thing,
it's it's a good talking point and a good headline
if you want to make a big deal out of
it and a big fit out of it. But at
the end of the day, you know, it's not going
to win elections. It doesn't garner voters, especially not in
the same way that the economy and illegal immigration and
national security can. And they just keep going down this
same path even post election. And so it makes me wonder,
(28:45):
you know, about their empty bench, about their empty ideology.
You know, I saw some tweets that were saying, you know, hey,
I'm going to start gathering people together Scott Presler's style
on the left, that is, because that seemed to work.
You know, I think that the left, who has been traditionally,
you know, thought of more grassroots, has completely lost their
grassroots ideals and their grassroots you know, even concepts to
(29:05):
know what their voting based cares about, especially when we're
all paying left or right for the same groceries and
the same economy that is totally train wrecked. So I
think that they're just continuing down this path until they
correct it.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
They're not going to go anywhere with it. I'm actually
glad you brought up their messaging Alec Bald when there's
little video floating around online Alec baldwhen well, here he
is talking about how uninformed we are. There's a whole
there's a vacuum.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans.
Americans are very uninformed about reality. What's really going on
with climate change, Ukraine is you name it, all the
biggest topics in the world. Americans have an appetite for
a little bit of information. That vacuum is filled by
(29:56):
the film industry.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Rihanna. I've found their messaging on everything, the economy, everything
to be so snobbish cold. I'm not even sure what
word I want to put on that, because I went
to community college. But they kept telling people there's no inflation,
the economy's doing good, the border's fine. It's all your imagination.
You're just the more on Thanksgiving doesn't cost more. Look,
even if they actually believed that, they used to be
(30:21):
smart enough to not say it.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Yeah, and here what is what Alec Baldwin said at
the end. He said that that vacuum is being filled
or has to be filled by Hollywood. Americans resoundly rejected
on November fifty idea that the Hollywood apparatus, the left
wing pundits would set the narrative for the American public
and that they had the ability to guess like the
American public about the same the economy, for example, and
I think it was CNN that came out and recently said,
(30:44):
you know, X is more emblematic of the state of
this country. And on X we see people saying the
economy actually isn't that great. Things aren't so great. Bill
Clinton recently said that one of the problems the Democrats
had the selection cycle is they spoke down to voters
and said the economy's good and you better believe and
so what the left is talking about, what Alec Baldwin
basically says, is that they don't like that they've now
(31:05):
lost control and they've lost the ability to set the narrative.
I think that's also why you see a push to
target Elon Muskin X, because they need to regain these
different channels to regain their control on the American public.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
All, alexis real quick. Are we going to get any
kind of a bounce back in the media world? I
should say the Hollywood world, because that's your world, the
whole actors and actresses and singers and fancy people stuff.
They've all been a bunch of comedy dirtballs for so long.
But it seems like they're being more willing now to
be open and vocal about that. Sylvester Stallone's giving speeches
(31:37):
at mar Lago. Is your industry turning it around at all?
You know?
Speaker 7 (31:45):
I do feel optimistic that they're starting to understand that
that doesn't reach people or voters, or even just people
who are consuming the media. But we're still seeing the
same pushes. You know, these people, it's not that they've
been given orders and they're just executing orders. They really
do think that they're better than the American people, which
is why, you know, even though I'm in music, it's
(32:05):
it's not really the world I fit in with. It's
it's an elitist group of people who push their ideals
and they're doing it from their you know, thirty thousand
foot view. As we just saw Alec Baldwin say, he's
basically calling the average American voter and media consumer stupid.
I mean, that's effectively what he's saying. And at the
end of the day, you know, on November fifth, we
(32:26):
learned that the American people don't like being spoken down to.
They don't like the elitist, they don't like being called stupid.
We don't like when Mark Cuban says that women are
weak and dumb. You know, people come back from that
with what they actually believe. And I think that that's
what's happening. And if we see any kind of you know,
alternate people wanting to speak up, I think that that
will be met with positivity. Because the people who came
(32:48):
out against President Trump and call the American people stupid.
It's not going to go well for them trying to
gain that audience back. And frankly, even just watching this
clip of Alec Baldwin, it doesn't seem like that's what
they're willing to do, because honestly, I think that they
have their hands too dirty within the entertainment industry. But
that's just my opinion. You know, they're kind of they're
kind of at the neck here.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Mark Cuban's a confusing person for me. He's a billionaire
and that hair, the dye job is so bad. Just
shave it, Mark, Look at me.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I just let it go. You gotta let it go.
Everyone knows that's a dye job. Mark.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Ladies, thank you, come back to you, and I appreciate it.
Why would you do that when you're a billionaire. No
one will No one tell him about his hair. Look
at me, Mark, I'm still pulling it off right. Just
buzz it down, buddy. Anyway, Let's save a baby really quick,
give something to preborn. This is the Christmas season and
(33:40):
there are a lot of very confused young ladies out there,
scared obviously, and right now you know what they're doing.
I'll tell you what they're doing right now. They're on
their phone looking for how to get an abortion.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Where can I go? What do I do? How do
I kill it?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's a reality as we speak, as you're watching me
right now. That's happening in this country, all over this country.
Preborn they find that young lady and they just offer
her help, a free ultrasound free and if she needs
help after that, because when she gets the ultrasound, she'll
choose life. If she needs stipers, if she needs formula,
if she needs counseling it. Preborn is there, hands and feet,
(34:18):
saving lives. Help them, and everything you give to preborn
is tax deductible.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
The ultrasound costs twenty eight bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Give them a grand, if you can give them five bucks,
whatever you have, it goes for the babies. It goes
to the babies. Preborn dot com slash Jesse.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
So now Lauren's just gonna kind of douse this. She's
gonna bathe this birth, bathe the bird. It's getting a
nice stuff.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
Yeah yeah, there we go, right, So just.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Smell this.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
So we're gonna pop this into a three hundred and
seventy five degree up.
Speaker 11 (35:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll look at this heat, right, So
what I'm actually going to do is that I am
now going to take this bird.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Okay, and take it off the rack and I'm gonna
put it onto our cutting board and let it cool.
So look at this, Look at this, that nice crispy
skin on there.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I hate gruel. I'm always starving every time I look
at any and every time I watch American Gravy, every
time you post something on X even if I'm just eating,
I just end up sitting there almost Drouled just now
joining me now host of American Gravy, which you can
watch right here on the first TV The Great Chef
Andrew Groul. Okay, Chef tell us about the show.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
We're just going through the classics. I mean, it's really easy, approachable, simple,
crave worthy food, nothing too over intellectual about it. You know,
I'm not trying to redefine anything, but get everybody in
the kitchen understand it a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's our goal, okay, Chef. First of all, Turkey. As
you know, I'm not going to go into it. Everyone
knows it's not my thing. I'm very loudly against it.
But there are a bunch of people with no standards
watching this show who are going to have turkey, And
you have, from what I understand from my producer, the
ultimate way to prepare it. He made it the way
(36:24):
you said last year and said it was the best
thing he's ever eaten in his life. So I will
reluctantly hand you the floor. How should all these savages
prepare their turkey?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
All right? So you got to do the dry brine,
and that's actually when you salt the bird twenty four
hours ahead of time, put it in the refrigerator uncovered, right,
Because what you're doing is you're drying the exterior of
the bird out. That's creating a pellicle, which means you
can get crispier skin on the bird, which is really
what makes the bird, or at least to some degree.
So do the dry brind for twenty four hours. Then
when you get the bird out right, you want to cut.
(36:56):
That's like I'm doing right there. You want to cut
the backbone out of the bird, flip it over and
press it down so it's flattened. It's called spatch cocking.
I repeat, it's called spatch cocking. And that is where
the bird is flattened. It cooks evenly, your legs are tender,
meltingly tender, if you will, and your breasts cook at
a better rate so that they're not dried out by
(37:17):
the time the legs are cooked, and your bird is
going to be crispier. Plus it takes you like half
the time it would if you did that big round bird.
So once again, sea salt or any salt dry brine,
split the bird, press it down, and then roast it
at a high temp.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That's it spatch cocking, I'll bet you.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
That's how Kamala Harris prepares her tell us about costs
in the food industry because everyone complains now understandably, so
restaurant menus have been pared down. I don't know, they.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Took my favorite item off.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Food's gotten more expensive, cost you a hundred bucks to
take family afford to red lobster anymore, and people are
just frantic about it. Why have the costs gone up
so high in the food industry.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
It's multi causal, I mean it's pretty complex. But first
and foremost inflation, right, and fuel costs. So when fuel
costs go up, all the food prices are gonna go
up because if I buy a product, right, it takes
six different trucks for it to be delivered to me.
So you've got that element, and then you've also got
all these supply chain disruptions overseas Ukraine. People ask, well,
(38:20):
why does what's happening in Ukraine affect my food costs here? Well,
we rely so much on the global market for our food,
which is why I think the tariffs are so important,
because we bring a lot of it back home. Then
when you've got these conflicts overseas, it's not gonna affect
our food prices here. So the big three food prices
are its fuel cost, it is inflation generally, and then
(38:41):
it's any international event that's affecting these.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Chef the American consumer.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I realized door dash and uber eats and things like
that has really really changed the restaurant industry, but restaurants
haven't gone away. How does it change things for restaurants?
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Well, DoorDash uber eats. They take thirty percent of all
of the sales, so you're only increasing revenue but not
profit when you use door dash or uber eats. And
it's been this necessary evil and they consolidate at the top.
Now they don't make any money. All they're doing is
is that they're taking investor money in order to increase
(39:24):
their size of business and almost act in a mafioso
style to make the restaurants use them, so the restaurants
feel as if it's necessary. The next guy does it,
and the next guy does it, then they all got
to do it. The pandemic consolidated that process by which
they really kind of took hold of restaurants. Now I'm
a principal guy. I'll throw every the baby in the
bath water, all of it away. However, the cliche goes,
(39:46):
I don't use any of those third party delivery outlets
because screw them. And if I go under because of it,
well then I'll just end up washing dishes for the
rest of my life. But they're pretty evil. I'm not
gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Tell me about no taxes on tips.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
No tax on tips. It's the best thing that can
happen for the United States. And let me tell you why.
Number One, you're removing taxes for a huge sector of
an industry that in and of itself on principle is
great because it's dominoes. Do that for one industry, then
as goes in America, well, why can't I get that
done for my industry. Well, let's go ahead and do
(40:19):
it for your industry. So let's just remove taxes altogether.
But the thing about the no tax on tips from
a payroll perspective is that fifteen to twenty percent of
my total payroll amount is the tips on the consumme
on the waiters and waitresses tax the taxes on their tips.
Excuse me, got my mix all talked up here. So
when you're actually cutting those taxes for the server, you're
(40:44):
also cutting it for the business. That saves me upwards
of six figures a year. So you're putting more money
in the server's pocket, which is more money they can
spend in the economy. And then you're making my payroll
more consistent because the thing is I don't know how
much they're going to make in tips every week. So
let's say say Joe Schmoe made five thousand dollars extra
and tips, and I got to pay twenty five percent
payroll taxes on that. Well, my payroll this week just
(41:06):
jacked up fifteen hundred fifteen hundred dollars, right, So it's
a It screws the business, it screws the worker, and
it's the right thing to do to remove them altogether.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
I like it. Chef, thank you so much. Everybody go
watch American gravy. Right here on the first I give
you what you should be eating for Thanksgiving. Next, all right,
it is time to lighten the mood. And what I'm
(41:39):
about to say. We've talked about this before. I understand
against people's blood up. It gets people angry. But not
all traditions are great. Some are great. You know, here
in America at a baseball game, we sing the national anthem.
It's a great tradition, right and God we trust print
it on our money. These are these are wonderful tradition.
(42:00):
But not all traditions are great. Remember that that old
I think it was in Japan, pretty positive was they
used to back in the day, They used to do
foot binding on the women.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
They wanted the women to.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Have short, small feet, and so they tie them up
and basically abuse these women. Like that's not a good tradition.
So some traditions like footbinding should be left behind. I
want you to think about having turkey for Thanksgiving as footbinding.
Why are you still binding your feet? You need to
(42:32):
let you need to let that go. But I don't
just want to criticize. I don't want to be that
person who says, hey, don't do this. You don't want
to be that guy. Offer solutions. If you're going to criticize,
offer solutions. So I thought it would be beneficial to
maybe give you a little top five list Thanksgiving foods.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
You want to break tradition this year, you want to
blow people away, Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Number five Mac and cheese. Now I know what you're thinking, Jesse.
You're talking about Kraft Mac and cheese. No, actually no,
I am white trash, but I'm not talking about Kraft Mac.
Because it's Thanksgiving. It's a special occasion. So you take
that wonderful box of Kraft Mac and you set it aside,
and you reach for the box of Velveta shells and cheese.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
It's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Spend a little extra money, do it upright, creamy deliciousness.
Even better the next day if you're doing really well financially.
And I realize many people are not go two boxes anyway,
Kraft Mac, not Kraftmac, not Kraftmac. I'm sorry, Valveda shells
and cheese. The Kraft Bac has to wait for another day.
Number four garlic bread. I don't even really have to
(43:43):
throw this on the list, because, as you know, if
you've watched I'm Right for any length of time, you
know that garlic bread it's the universal side. It's the
greatest side by a mile. It's superior to all other
sides of any meal. Garlic bread is superior to bacon.
It is you know what the best side you can
have is with everything garlic bad. You don't have to
(44:06):
hassle over or haggle over it, over it. You don't
have to argue with yourself. I'm not sure should we
get Nobody has ever seen a big pile of garlic
bread and thought, oh dang, is there anything else? No,
everyone dives in because everyone loves garlic bread. Number three,
you want to blow people away this Thanksgiving chicken wings, Jesse,
(44:30):
that's crazy. It's the highest form of chicken there is.
Chicken wings. Toss them in a good buffalo sauce. If
you want to go crazy, maybe do a lemon pepper
something like that. But I would recommend buffalo because listen, listen.
Maybe you're thinking I'm crazy so far. Think about your
plate already. You have valveda shells and cheese, you have
garlic bread, and now you have your buffalo wings. But
(44:53):
what's going to happen the buffalo wings sauce? It's going
to start to spread all over the plate. And oh,
what's that? Got some buffalo wing sauce in my velveta
shells and cheese like that won't be delicious? Up up,
it's starting to it's starting to spread around a little bit.
I better take some garlic bread and soop up some
of that wing sauce. Oh did I get some cheese
on that garlic bed as well? Now were you seeing
(45:15):
the magic IM laying out for you right here? Number
two French fries. Everyone talks about. We got to have
the mashed potatoes. This is not your grandma's house. Mashed
potatoes suck. Okay, French fries are the superior.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Form of potato. Everyone knows it.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Maybe a tato taught I will allow, but we'll go
French fries. And finally, what's the main course? Because you're
not gonna have buffalo wings and velveta for your main course?
What's number one? Well you're gonna have to go watch
that on my YouTube channel. Not only do I roll
out number one, I tell you how to make number
one what's my main course?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
This year and every year? Go to YouTube.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
Dot com slash at Jesse KELLYDC and figure out how
to eat like a king. Stop footbinding on Thanksgiving. I'll
see you next week.
