Speaker 1 (00:02):
The leaders of Western civilization hate us. Why we'll talk
about that VP debate preview tonight. We will discuss the flooding, hurricane,
terrible stuff in Tennessee, North Carolina. All that and more
coming up, and I'm right okay, First of all, Hurricane Helene.

(00:27):
I wanted to get this out of the way right
off the bat. I will be discussing hurricane Hurricane Helene,
the flooding, all the terrible stuff in a little while.
I don't want to make it political. I don't want
to do a bunch of stuff there, but we will
discuss it here in a little while. I wanted to
talk about something else to open up the show tonight

(00:47):
because John Carey came out said something recently which I
will play for you in a minute, not yet, but
he said something recently about how annoying the First Amendment is.
We'll get to that, but I need to discuss the
leaders of Western civilization with you right now and how
they think, because we need to understand this, because people

(01:08):
will explain so much of how they act, the things
they do, the things they say that we look and
it's almost nonsensical. Sometimes I don't understand why would they
do this, Why would they do that? Well, you know how,
I tell you the three characteristics all of our leaders
have in common. We've talked about this a million times.
Of them now that we've had a poisoned, rotted culture

(01:30):
take over our country. All three of them. They all
three They apply to everyone leading this country. No love
of country, no connection to the real world. They don't
know how normal people live. And three, this is important.
They see themselves as kings and queens, not senators or
presidents or members of the House or even CEOs or what.

(01:54):
They don't see themselves that way. They see themselves as
kings and queens. And what's the difference. Let's discuss that
really briefly before we go into why they hate us.
What is the difference? Well, we don't fully appreciate this,
even I don't because I don't have any other perspective.
In America, we are free. What does that really mean?
We love to sing about it, hand over our hearts,

(02:15):
aly for look at the fireworks. But what does it
mean to be free? Well, what it means is you
are not just a cog in the wheel. You're not
just a peasant who has to do what he or
she is told. By the people in charge to be
a free person. To be free means you are a
unique god breathed soul with rights nobody, nobody on earth

(02:42):
can take away from you. That's what it means to
be free. And if you're in charge or one of
the political leaders in this country, what it means for
you is you don't get to do all the things
you might want to do to the masses because your

(03:03):
power is limited and they are free. So if you
are a senator, a CEO, one of the world economic
foreign types of president, and you see yourself as this king,
and that is how they see themselves. Remember, they see
themselves as being way above us, kings queens, while we

(03:25):
need is their thoughts and their ideas, and they will
govern us all. If that's how you see yourself and
that's how they see themselves, well, then the rules of
Western civilization, the limits Western civilization puts on them. They
hate them, they can't stand them. It's like a like

(03:46):
a cheetah on a leash. He just wants to run
and be free. He has so much he wants to do,
and these these rules keep holding them back. You know
you enjoy being free. Let me tell you something every
single Democrat and the Republicans in leadership that applies to
them as well. In this country. They despise you, and

(04:09):
more than that, they despise your freedoms. They hate it
as much as you love it, they hate it more.
And because we live in the information age, this is
the social media age, information age, and there's a lot
of good that came from that, a lot of bad
that came from that. One of the bad things that
has come from the social media age is this people

(04:33):
just put all their thoughts out online all the time. Nobody.
You can't stand in nine for five extra minutes at
McDonald's without getting on Twitter. Ah line is so long,
ah hashtag McDonald's. People just have to vomit out all
of their thoughts. That's a bad thing. But the good
thing is we do constantly get a window now into

(04:54):
how the communists sees himself and how the communists sees you.
He can't help himself. It used to be private letters
to his communist friend across the globe. Now it's on video.
Now they print articles about it. The good news about
the overshare society is that mentality I just described how
they see themselves as kings and queens. But it's on

(05:17):
display at all times. They'll allow me to point you
to the New York Times. Oh, the New Yorker. I'm sorry,
this is a title. This is the legitimate title. I
didn't make this up. Is it time to torch the constitution?
Some scholars say it's to blame for our political dysfunction
and that we need to start over. Oh you didn't

(05:41):
think that was all right? You did hear what I
just said about how they see themselves as kings and
queens and how they really really hate your rights. That's
what gets them. It's those freedoms you have. Why are
you saying whatever you want to say? How could you
question them? How could you question the king? Well, I'm
grateful we have people like John Carey to confirm my suspicions.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
But look, if people go to only one source, and
the source they go to is sick and you know,
as an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation, our First
Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to
be able to just you know, hammer it out of existence.
So what you need, what we need is to is

(06:27):
to win the ground, win the right to govern by
hopefully having you know, winning enough votes that you're free
to be able to.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Implement change.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Obviously, there are some people in our country who are
prepared to implement change in other ways.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
If you really really listen to that, and in fact,
mister producer, I'm sorry, I'm doing this on the fly here,
I might ask you to play that again. If you
really really listen to that, there are a couple things
that stand out to you. The dream at you first,
the First Amendment, your ability to speak freely. Man, it

(07:09):
means everything. If you've ever opened up a history book,
people have been arrested and murdered for speaking out against
the powerful, against the government throughout the history of the world.
And our founders were so terrified that that kind of
rule could come to America, they ensured it was in

(07:31):
the Constitution that you are allowed to speak freely. Question governments,
question doctors, questioned scientists, question the military, question everything that
is your god given right as a free American. One
thing you will see when I have him play this
again is when John Krey describes it as not something wonderful,

(07:52):
not something to be treasured. He describes it as a
major block. But maybe the part that stood out to
me in the part that very much should stand out
to you is what John Carey once done with it.
You notice the language he uses when he's describing the
First Amendment, and he said, if we didn't have that,

(08:14):
what would we do? In fact, I'm gonna want you
to play this again right about now is the producer
all points to you. But if we can't, if we
didn't have this first Amendment, what would we do with
the people in the information we didn't like? Please play
it again?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
But look, if people go to only one source and
the source they go to is sick and you know,
as an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First
Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to
be able to just you know, hammer it out of existence.
So what you need, what we need is to is

(08:52):
to win the ground, win the right to govern by
hopefully having you know, winning enough votes that you're free
to be able to.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Implement change.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Now, obviously there are some people in our country who
are prepared to implement change in other ways.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You heard at that time, didn't you If that pesky
First Amendment wasn't holding John carry back, what would they
do to you to your rights to speech? They didn't like,
what would they do? You heard him, you said it,
What would they do? Hammer it out? Does he look

(09:32):
at this problem of you having different opinions of him
as an opportunity to persuade you, as an opportunity to
win you to his side? Communist doesn't think in that way.
If he didn't have this annoying first Amendment, he would
just hammer out the problem, just like communists have always done.

(09:53):
Do not discount for a moment how violent the people
who lead Western society are. It is a fragile fabric
of laws holding these people back from becoming the worst
monsters in human history. And again, because we live in
this area where everyone's on camera, everyone's writing an article,
they're constantly out there discussing it. Consider for a moment

(10:14):
the American media, of course, the American media, you know
how despicable they are. They serve as simply a communist mouthpiece,
a protectorate on behalf of the regime. And it's all
I mean, it's all left right, especially on major networks MSNBC, ABC,
CBSCN analysis. It's just all left. You've got your first

(10:36):
out there, it's Fox News out there, you know, it's
some other channels out there, but the main ones are
all left. So it's interesting. What's AOC mean when when
she talks about going after the media.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
We're going to have to figure out how we rain
in our media environment so that you can't just spew
disinformation and misinformation. It's one thing to have different opinions,
but it's another thing entirely to just say things that
are false. And so that's something that we're looking into.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
We'll looking into it. Gotta hammer it out, you see,
there's a problem there, and I just gotta take a
hammer to it. That's of course how they think. And look,
I'm going to wrap all this up because I think
you get the point. But this guy, Frank Leeblowitz went
on Bill Maher's show, and people are angry about what

(11:37):
he said. Look what he says here is horrifying. But
what he said didn't surprise me at all because I
long ago accepted the people who lead the West feel
like this about you. Your rights are institutions about any
checks on their power. The Supreme Court has been the
ultimate check on communist power, especially over the last few years.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
So what they want done with it, well, Biden should
do not that you asked. But when they passed that law.
The Maaning Corps passed that ruling, you know where they said,
you're not the president, you're the king, which is what
that ruling is. You can do whatever you want. You
can never be, you know, held responsible. I thought, you know,
Biden's still the president. No one seems to notice.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
But.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Biden should dissolve.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Supreme Court dissolved, and.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
I'm the president.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm the king now, like you said, and go home.
It's Legwoods. I think I called her Frank. It's fran
Lebowoods right there. They're very honest if you simply listen
and accept what they're saying. All that may have made
you uncomfortable, but I am right now. That was a

(12:54):
little dark. May be worried about having trouble sleeping tonight.
I'm not worried about that. Of course. I slept like
a baby once again last night. I do every night. Now.
If there is a night like yesterday where maybe I
was worried about having a good night's sleep, I'd been up,
I'd been drinking too much caffeine. I was studying all
those hurricane footage. That's awful. So what did I do?

(13:16):
About nine o'clock went into my kitchen, got a little
coffee cup full of milk, warmed it up in the microwave,
and then I took some dream powder from Beam Hot Chocolate,
mixed it up in there, and just sat there and
sipped on my hot chocolate for about fifteen minutes. And
then I went into bed and slept like a little
baby and woke up feeling great. I had a cup

(13:36):
of hot chocolate and slept. Well. Do you want to
do that? Go get some dream powder from Beam, You'll
sleep like a baby. Shopbeam dot com. Slash Jesse Kelly,
We'll be back.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
My best friend from kindergarten is still one of my
best road. That's crazy, right, Stacey Johnson. We used to
go to the clubs and her Bottlesville.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I I'm sorry, I can't with the accent. We used
to go to the clubs. Shoting me now my friend
Eric Bowling, host of the show Bowling at Launch. You
can check it out YouTube dot com slash at Eric Bowling.
Eric the accent thing murders me. Man the California Valley
girl when she's not living in a ritzy neighborhood in Montreal,

(14:35):
but Man when she wants to hood it up a
little bit.

Speaker 8 (14:38):
She's got it in there, middle class, middle class Kamala, right, Jesse,
And you're right that that boy she laid it on
thick there. It reminds me of when Hillary brought she
went to Charlotmage the Gods podcast, and she had a bag.
She's like, oh, check my bag. I happen to have
hot sauce in there. What the pandering is absolutely ridiculous
and disgusting. But listen, Kamala, She's I got to do something.

(15:00):
I mean, you look at the electoral map right now, Jesse.
I mean, it's in Trump's favor. I don't. I never
pay attention to national polls. You look at state to state,
but she's behind.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I know.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
I know the New York Times Santa Poles and tell
you that she's head in some of the five of
the seven swing states. I don't believe any of that
electoral map looks really bad for her. So she's really
got to come out stronger than she's doing right now.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, why I know. Look, I know all the reasons
I don't like Kamala Harrison. I probably can assume some
of the reasons you don't. But we're not the normies.
The undecided swing voters who decide elections. Why is she
why is she struggling?

Speaker 6 (15:40):
Eric?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
What is it?

Speaker 8 (15:42):
She's had no policy, Jesse. But here's the thing. So
she goes to the border a couple of days ago
and says, I'm gonna fix the border.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
What the hell you where the borders are?

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Stop?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
You weren't the border where the borders are?

Speaker 8 (15:53):
Thank god, NBC unless her whole colorad, we didn't go
to the border, but yeah, I didn't go to Europe either.
She was the border. Everyone knew her as the person
who Joe Biden said, you're going to handle the issue
at the border. And she did exactly what she was
supposed to do. She did exactly what the Democrats wanted
her to do. Do nothing, allow people to come in.
Because you hear what she said when she did go
finally go to the border, when she realized that the

(16:15):
border could cost her her her presidency, potential White House,
she said that I'm going to fix it. But also
we're going to look to do mass amnesty. I mean,
can you imagine twenty million illegals here with a path
to citizenship.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
It's over.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
There will never be another nationally elected Republican in America.
Forget president, forget vice president. You may still have states
like Texas and Florida. Hear the free estate in the
Union voting for senators in Congress people Republicans. But on
a national level, we've lost it completely the minute that happened.

(16:48):
So that's the plan. That's why she hasn't done anything
for three half years. Getum's president. She offers amnesty, and
it's over.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
The American people. Are they catching on to that? It's
obvious to anyone paying attention. People like well, Democrats, they
got elected and opened it up on purpose to do
exactly what you just said. Bring in twenty million new voters,
cane of citizenship and boom. If you're a Democrat, you
can run them more on like Kamala Harrison win the presidency.
But the question is are the American people on too

(17:22):
this enough and they're going to go vote against it or.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
Not the other Besides the swing state breakdown of how
you win the presidency in America, there's seven states that
dictate who's the next president. Besides that, there's another metric
that you can you can look at because one can
override the other and the other one is demographics, the
racial demographics in America. So if a Republican were to

(17:47):
get fifteen percent of is the threshold of the black vote,
he's likely going to wait or she's likely going to win.
If a Republican get hit a forty percent of Hispanics,
you're going to win. Hispanics outnumber African Americans by almost double.
The Hispanic vote that you'll see in Pew Research and whatnot,

(18:08):
they have it around thirty five thirty six percent for Trump.
The numbers way north of that. The reality is it's
probably approaching fifty. So I think with the Hispanic vote,
I actually think the Hispanic vote is going to push
the presidency to Trump and it won't really matter what's
going on in the swing states. I think that'll take
care of itself with this number of Hispanics that are

(18:28):
moving out to the Trump train. And my point is this,
Hispanics are pissed off about the border. American Hispaniics, people
who've lived here, who've gone through the process, or who
are born here who are Hispanic hate the fact that
there are people jumping the border without doing any of
the things that they've done, they've had to do, or
weren't born here. It's going to be a huge issue

(18:49):
for Hispanics. I think if he gets forty three, forty
five percent.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
He wins. Yeah. No, I see this in my own
life with a lot of Latino friends I have. They
tell me about family members who were demed that are
now independent putting up Trump signs. And I'll tell you
on top of the borders stuff, Eric, I get a
lot of culture wars stuff from those people. They are
not down with the newest training flag, with all the

(19:16):
new craziness that it really chafed on a group of
people Democrats were banking on for a very long time.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
Latin American value systems almost line up more with the
traditional American values. They're greatly Christian, They're they're they're not
for the new woke nonsense of transgenderism. They're they're not
for any of those things. And I think that's what
is one of the reasons. But also because Donald Trump
has proven to them, I mean, let's be honest that

(19:47):
trump economic policies benefited Hispanics and Blacks more than anything
Joe Biden has done or could do. For whatever reason,
the Democrats want to claim there are voters, but it doesn't.
If you really break it down, Blacks and Hispanics did
much better under Donald Trump certainly than they're doing under
Joe Biden. That's a fact, and so the fact that

(20:10):
Kamala Harris has no real policy.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Jesse.

Speaker 8 (20:14):
There's a SoundBite from about a month ago or Kamala Harrison,
I can't remember. A local Pennsylvania local reporter asked her,
how are you going to fix the inflation issue? She
was lost in the.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Woods, she couldn't eat.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
This is two months into her, you know, running for president.
She had nothing. It was an air ball. And I
think people realize that people care about the economy, which
is obviously the probably the number one issue in America
for a voter, realized that she has no idea what
she's talking about, so it will be up to her
advisors to give her policy.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
And you have this who are they? What are they?

Speaker 8 (20:51):
What are they about? We know what they've been about.
They've been about taxing you more, giving away free free
housing to illegals, giving away having student loan debt, going
around the Supreme Court. Supreme Court says no, Joe Biden says, oh,
but yes, executive order. I think people who realize who
care about the economy are going to realize that she's
not the person to lead the most powerful engine, economic

(21:15):
engine on the planet.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah. I think everybody voting needs to ask themselves do
they want this human being here to lead the economy? Next?
What is your kind of your economic plan moving forward
for people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling
for groceries and rent and homeowners.

Speaker 7 (21:35):
So look, I grew up, so my sister and I
were raised by our mother. We lived for a long
time in an apartment on top of a childcare center.
I from a child knew who are small business owners?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Are? Right?

Speaker 7 (21:50):
I mean, you're business leaders, but you're also civic leaders.
You take seriously your voice and how you can mentor
how you can grow right community and the sense of communities.
I love our small businesses. So a lot of my work,
even in the Senate, was about increasing access to capital
through our small businesses and in particular through our community banks.

(22:10):
So I've been responsible for billions of dollars more now
going into our community banks because they're in the community,
and then they know who's in the community and where
the town is, and who's doing good in the community.
What the community wants.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Generally, she's not wrong about that, but the problem is
her policy doesn't do that. What she says was, I
want to I want to start twenty five million more
new housing units going forward. How are you going to
do that, Madam Kamala, Well, the only way you do
do that is by using the federal coffers the bank
account to pay people to go do that.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
What does that do?

Speaker 8 (22:46):
That drives up inflation? Anytime government spends billions, hundreds of
billions of dollars to do what she wants to do,
inflation is going to go higher. And also you're messing
with the housing market because who's going to get those houses? Okay,
low income people are going to get the houses. What
does that mean for for the rest of the foods?
Does that mean everything else gets ratcheted down? Price wise?
So if you own your house, you've owned it, you

(23:08):
paid your mortgage for twenty twenty five thirty years, the
value of house is going to go down because Kamala
Harris wants the government to give away free housing to
people those would be renters or buyers of homes. That
all the way up the chain. It's incredible. It's socialism.
It's socialism if you really break it down to what
she said, we want to start twenty five million new homes.

(23:28):
No one's ever asked, how are you going to do that?
How are you going to do that? And by the way,
who's going to do that? Twenty five million new homes?
You know how much you're going to drive the price
of construction labor up, So it's going to cost more
to build your own home, and your own home once
it's built, it's going to be worthless. She's got to
hold her accountable to to what her own words are
because she doesn't even know the words that she's speaking

(23:50):
what the effect on the economy really will be.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Of course she doesn't eric Thank you, my brother. All right,
this place, we have to talk before we get to that.
I want to talk about pure Talk. See what I
just did there? What it's my cell phone company. I
love them. They just sent me a brand new iPhone sixteen.
You know, when you switch to pure Talk, not only

(24:16):
do you save a ton of money and support a
company who shares and promotes your values, but you see,
they'll send you a new phone if you want it.
You can keep your phone if you like yours. You
keep your phone number if you like it. If you
want brand new phones, iPhones, androids, they have whatever you want.
They're on the same five G network. It's everything you
need for less money, and your money goes to a

(24:38):
company that shares your values. Switch to pure Talk. It's cake.
It takes nothing, it takes nothing. It's ten minutes, puretalk
dot com slash JESSETV. We'll be back. Tomorrow night is

(25:01):
a big night. I don't want to get cocky. Every
time I've ever done that before about anything politically related,
it's ended up disastrous to me. It's probably God teaching
me something. But tomorrow night is VP debate night Walls
versus Vance, and looking at it on paper, any sports
fans will know what the hell far that gets you.
But looking at it on paper, I like a chance

(25:22):
as JD. Vance has historically done very well, and things
like this speaks very well. Tim Walls is some kind
of cocaine addle nightmare out of Minnesota with these weird
hand gestures, and so I can't imagine he's doing well.
According to CNN, he's fighting nerves, But I don't know.
Dustin Gregory knows a lot better than I do. Joining
me now columnists the town Hall, Dustin Gregy, Okay, Dustin,

(25:45):
they are saying Tim Walls is nervous. Now, this is
the thing. People get elevated to these positions and they don't.
Most people in the country don't know Tim Walls the
way someone like you would know Tim Walls. Dustin. Is
he a good debater?

Speaker 9 (26:00):
Well, I think he's a good communicator, which is, you know,
has its strings, but it has its limits, in particular
when you.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Get to an actual debate.

Speaker 9 (26:08):
Though he struggles quite a bit interpersonally, he's a pretty
good communicator even public speaking. He's a pretty good communicator
when it comes to these debates and he actually has.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Someone pushing back on him.

Speaker 9 (26:20):
With his policies and whatnot that have ultimately been pretty
much failures all across the board. I mean anything from education,
where we've seen Minnesota consistently in the top five and
outcomes is now below the national average for elementary age kids.
Contrasts that to like a state like Florida where they
were right in the middle of the pack. Now they're

(26:41):
number one post COVID and just all the way down
the line. These policies have just failed dramatically, and that's
going to come out here. I think in the debate
he has a really tough time defending his own record.
Tim Walls also had one of the biggest lies of
the year in the last gubernatorial race, where he argued

(27:02):
that well over half of the students had miss let
I think it was something around eighty percent. I'd have
to double check the number have missed less than ten
days of in class learning, which of course was an
abject lie. There's just nothing to depend on that. Matt
Walsh did a great beast on it as well too,
but he gets caught up in these lies, and that's

(27:23):
why we have this kind of saying called Tim Wall's lies.
He has a tough time remembering all of them over
the years, especially when you go back to his beginning
of his career when he represented a conservative district.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
He was an a rated NRA member.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
A lot of people forget about this type of stuff,
but he has to go back and remember all of
these positions he's held over the years, and then over
time they have dramatically changed. And when you go back
to actually, I think what Jade Vance and his team
should be looking at isn't the last debates with doctor
Scott Jenssen his last opponent, but the Jeff Johnson debates

(27:58):
in his twenty eighteen run, where Jeff actually has a
very similar debate style as JD. Vance, where he's a
little bit more even keel with his personality, but he
battles with the facts and he just sets up walls
for these abject failures and now he has to respond
to them. Jeff did a great job example cornering him
on single pay healthcare, where even in Minnesota not a

(28:22):
very popular thing. He ended up having to run away
from this, but in the debate he actually set up
walls to agree that he's actually four single pay healthcare,
and that election was very close. I want to say
it was only about four points five points in the
state of Minnesota, where we struggle so much with our
statewide campaigns. He would struggle with something like that if

(28:43):
he got cornered on the national stage.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
So that's why he's very worried about this. A guy
like JD.

Speaker 9 (28:49):
Vance, where it's not so much ing pow, you know, personality,
but it's really just coming back to the facts and
cornering the guy on his record. It's an abject strength
for JD. Vance in this case. It's a major weakness
for Tim Walls and kind. As Tim Walls is said
in the past, he likes to brag about how none

(29:10):
of his students ended up going to Yale. Well, he's
about to struggle quite a bit here with a lawyer
in jd Vance who graduated from Yale.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
All Right, Dustin, I have to ask, Actually, we'll probably
circle back to this debate in the moment, But Minnesota
is such a wild state to so many people from
the outside looking in. I'm not talking about the incredible
fishing and lakes up there, which, gosh, I've had so
much fun in Minnesota. Politically, I mean, it's always been
treated in my entire political life as some kind of
purple state that might be an option. I've never seen

(29:41):
even the slightest bit of red come out of there.
But what is it, Dustin? Is it just standard America
where you have the Minneapolis Saint Paul which are essentially
the Soviet Union, and then a bunch of rural people
who are forced to live under their rule. Is it
that simple or is it more complicated than that?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
It is actually pretty my that simple.

Speaker 9 (30:01):
We just had this large populace where we struggle with
these state wide elections, but regionally, Minnesota's only had three
trifecta trifecta freeway control two times in the last century.
Two of the times in the past I think twelve
years is how often it's happened. One of them happened
to happen under Walls. And even in this trifecta, Democrats

(30:23):
only have a one seat majority in our state Senate.
It's a very very slim margin, and it wasn't until
this last session where they actually started losing on some
of these bills because then they're constituents in these type
Senate and House seats where we have a chance to
actually take back both chambers this cycle. Even though we
only have one Senate race up this cycle, they're ended
up having to be a special for a congressional race

(30:44):
coming up here. So there's actually a lot of spending
still here in Minnesota. They're trying to defend these seats
after going through what is absolutely been the most far
leftist agenda in state history, probably the nation. Over these
last two and a half years, what we've seen from
Walls's administration, they're having a really tough time to finding

(31:05):
these records.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Between trying to push for a sanctuary state.

Speaker 9 (31:10):
Going through, and they had a twenty billion dollars surplus,
largest state surplus in state history. I don't think we've
had anything over eight billion in state history. They burned
through all of that and found a way to raise
an additional nine billion. That's a forty percent increase in
state government year to year, and they have no way

(31:30):
to fund it going forward unless they keep taxing and spending.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Let's circle back to Walls in the military stuff. This
got super super hot for five minutes after walls was
announced as the VP thing. It's a major, major deal
to me, honestly, not even the command sergeant major stuff,
as much as bailing on his troops right before deployment.
That's just so despicable. But these things have they trailed

(32:00):
old walls. Do you hear it in your Minnesota circles
or political political circles. It kind of seems like that
stuff is died. But veteran friends who were non political
of mine still bringing up it really bothers them.

Speaker 9 (32:12):
Yeah, and quite frankly, this is still an important issue,
and I don't think it's like this mass issue that's
going to you know, take you know, twenty five thirty
percent of the electric plus it's a smaller portion, but
it's a very important issue that's important to independence in particular.
And when you look at this state of Minnesota, there's
more Democrats, like just straight up, there's probably ten percent

(32:32):
more Democrats than there are Republicans. That's why we struggle
a little bit here. But we have a significant independent
population here, voting base in Minnesota, and that's how you
get guys like Jesse Van Shure elected. We're one of
the few states that's ever elected statewide independent and there's
a reason for that here in this state. And why
do we see Kamala Harris with a ten percent lead

(32:55):
right out of the gate when Biden drops out, But
now since Tim Walls has entered the race and all
this stuff that was never covered in the Minnesota media,
never announcer it was covered. We've known about it for years.
We brought it up on campaigns between his first congressional
race all the way to the gubernatorial races. But quite frankly,
just Minnesota media. They're owned by the liberal establishment here.

(33:17):
They have to rely on larger infrastructure such as the
DFL here. They have a very great election system. They
have a monopoly in many cases, so they kind of
lean on them. They're like, well, they're the guys in charge,
so we're gonna be friendly with the Democrats. And that's
how they kind of created this monopoly a little bit here.
But now that's on a national scale. It's actually being

(33:37):
covered and people here are noticing it now. Finally, and
since Kim Wallas has entered the race, the latest Rassmussen
poll actually showed Walls has dropped comeal at seven points.
Since then, it's a three point race at Rasmussen. And
even if you go to more of the kind of
lefty posters in the state, I've seen as good as

(33:59):
five percent and down since then, So pretty dramatically it's
showing that. And even at some of the congressional races
here they run their own internal pulling, every single poll
has showed that with Walls on the ticket, they're actually
less likely to support Kamalin. So it's actually been really
dramatic that way. He's such a polarizing figure between the

(34:21):
lockdowns and now stuff. You know, not huge issues, they're
not going to be backbreaking, but they really cut at
the margins when with the stolen valor stuff, and you
know of course, as you mentioned, dodging deployments, and you know.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
He's got a little bit of history with that as well.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
Even when in office, he likes to skip out on
award ceremonies for current National Guard members when they get
the highest honor possible through the president. In Biden, we
had an Afghanistan deployment here known as the Pastors, that's
their name. They're a artillery I believe deployment, no tank division.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
They helped out in Afghanistan.

Speaker 9 (35:02):
They received the highest possible unit award, the presidential citation.
Walls actually skipped that awards ceremony despite being invited. And
on top of that, he wasn't even capable of deploying
that his own National Guard here in Minnesota when Minneapolis
was burning. So how can we even expect him to
send resources over to North Carolina and Tennessee right now?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
I mean, he couldn't even do it in his home state.

Speaker 9 (35:25):
And this guy's just been an abject failure when it
comes to a crisis, actually dropping in front of his lap,
whether it's deploying himself over to Iraq, whether it's deploying
his own units over to Minneapolis, showing up to their
award ceremony. I mean, how is this guy going to
help on the national scale when he's not able to
do that locally?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Even Dustin, thank you for what you do. I mean,
come back soon. That was awesome. All right. I do
have some hurricane things to describe, speaking of the hurricane,
the flooding before I get to that. You know, tomorrow
all night's the VP debate. We just talked about it,
So I'm gonna want to I'm gonna have some thoughts

(36:06):
on the VP debate right after the debate is over.
I'm gonna go live on YouTube with those thoughts. It
won't be long, five minutes, ten minutes, just some quick
thoughts after I'm freshly digesting it. If you want to
watch that, go to YouTube dot com slash at Jesse KELLYDC.
Just go subscribe to the YouTube channel and I'll do

(36:28):
a little video for that tomorrow night. All right, all right,
hurricane things next. All right, so let's discuss Helene and
the aftermath and everything going on right now briefly. I'm

(36:49):
not gonna spend a bunch of time on this. I
just wanted to spend a few minutes first. Why didn't
we lead the show talking about this. Why didn't we
leave the show with a bunch of flood footage and
stuff like that. Well, here's something I don't like. I
don't like it. I don't do it. I don't like it.
Try to avoid it at any cost. I don't like

(37:11):
politicking on dead people and devastated things. I don't like it.
You've heard me rant about it many times. When there's
a mass shooting and the left grabs for guns, I
don't like it. It bothers me. There are people as
we speak, as we speak, as you're watching me here

(37:32):
on the first there are people looking for their dead
loved ones, praying they'll find them back, having lost everything.
People are without food, water. I don't want to make
this about democrats or anything like that. That's one. Two.
I see a lot of screaming about FEMA today, very

(37:54):
very understandably, whereas FEMA. Why isn't FEMA doing more? But
what it is? This that? Look, I'm going to read
you something. This is directly from FEMA's website. Goal number one.
This is goal number one from their website, to instill
equity as a foundation of emergency management. Okay, so I

(38:15):
never thought FEMA was going to do anything anyway. I
don't have faith in government, certainly not our federal government.
They're not capable of really doing anything anything at all.
What I do at faith in is the American people,
the people of Tennessee, the people of Florida, the people

(38:36):
of North Carolina. I have been overwhelmed today as I've
seen the charities, the individuals flooding, sorry about sorry to
use that horrible punt on a daylight today, flooding into
that area to provide aid, to do what they can.
The American people can and will do things the federal

(38:58):
government simply cannot. There are stories everywhere about people gathering
together to clear out bridges so things can get through.
It's just I have a lot of faith in the
American people, and I have no faith in the federal government.
And that's why we chose not to do some long
ten minute rant about the failures of Biden or Kamala

(39:20):
or FEMA or anything else. The federal government we have
now is corrupt, it's evil, and they don't care about
the American people, any of them. They really don't. That's
how sick these people are. So I just never think
about them as someone who can or will help. They
let Hawaii go. They let East Palestine, Ohio go, They'll

(39:42):
let this go. These are not people who sit around
stressing about flood victims, or murder victims, or fire victims
or a chemical cloud victims. These are not people who
think about you at all, except for when they think
about how they can use you for your votes or
find a way to punish you for being there enemies.
So set them out of your mind and let's try

(40:03):
to help now when it comes to help it. I'm
just going to caution you with this. I'm not I'm believing.
I'm not doing disaster comparisons here. But we went through
Hurricane Harvey here in Houston a few years back. You
probably remember it. And if the flooding was terrible, the
whole freaking place was underwater. It was this terrible flooding,

(40:24):
and there was all kinds of needs and things going on.
And so what I watched, what I witnessed during that
was probably, honestly, it's influencing a lot of what I'm
telling you now. What I watched during that was the
people be amazing, wonderful. We're on group text message threads. Hey,
someone stuck in a nursing home. There's a traffic jam
driving there, trying pulling. Guys are pulling boats out of

(40:47):
their garage. It was awesome. The people were awesome, freaking
cage and Navy coming in from Louisiana. It was It
was awesome. And government aside. There were some charities who
were awesome. Many were not. I want to caution you
right now, as you're sitting at home looking at flood

(41:08):
damage footage and so many other things. Right now, I
want to caution you just to be shrewd, be careful
where you spend your money. There are a lot of
wonderful charities, wonderful sounding, I should say, wonderful charities out
there that don't. They don't use your money the way

(41:30):
you want it used. They take advantage of you. They
take advantage of your good heart. They'll take in one
hundred dollars from you and they'll spend seventy five on
it on private jets and million dollar salaries for their CEO,
and maybe about a dime of it'll get to actual
flood victims. Do not fall for a big fancy name,

(41:50):
don't fall for heartbreaking videos and pictures. Don't fall for
sad stories. This is how these people get over on
you look up chair ratings before you give to any
of them. There are plenty of charity rating websites free.
You can go look that up. If it's an individual
with a sad story and pictures, maybe you're sitting there

(42:13):
on Facebook, you're like, oh my gosh, he's lost his dog, Muffy.
He needs ten dollars to I need to look how
cute Muffy was. Make sure you know the person, or
knows someone who knows the person. Just be shrewd as snakes.
That's all I'm saying right now, Be shrewd as snakes. Okay,
all right, we will lighten the mood next. All right,

(42:44):
it is time to lighten the mood. And it's very
common out there to say things or even think things
like we're all the good people gone? Where all the
good women at? Where all the good men at. It's
very common to get wrapped up with all the negativity
and horrible stuff and think like that. But there are
still so many wonderful people out there, heroic people, people

(43:07):
with good hearts, people with all that. And I got
I gotta give credit where it's through. Fox Weather reporter's
out there reporting on the hurricane stuff. I'm sure you've
probably seen this lady is trapped. They're calling nine one one.
Dude puts down the mic and just well, here it is.

Speaker 6 (43:24):
You can see right here, we've got this. This lady
drove into the area that's flooded out and she's screaming
right now. Just called nine one one. I'm in North
Atlanta right now on the corner of Northside Street. Northside drives,
pretty big populated area right here.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
She is still screaming.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
But we got you, We got you, nine one one.
They're coming. You're good, You're good.

Speaker 9 (43:49):
Man.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
It's it's it's a situation. We will get back to
you in a little bit. I'm gonna go see if
I can help this lady out a little bit.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
More of you guys. I'll be back, all right. Bob
has got to go help them up.

Speaker 9 (44:00):
Fox weathers Bob Van Dylan saved a woman trapped in.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
He's saving her.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
He called nine one one for her.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
