WEBVTT - 2026 Mid-Term Elections 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.840 That Jesse Kelly Show, another hour of the Jesse Kelly 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.960 Show on a wonderful Wednesday, a hook day. And so 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.320 we just talked about Trump is at the end, he's 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.400 the beginning, and you know who knows that? The Communists. 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:17.959 In fact, I'm gonna get to that in just a moment. 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.680 We're gonna try to get to a bunch of these emails. 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.599 Bernie Sanders surprise, surprise, makes an idiot of himself. All 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.319 that and so much more coming up in this hour 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.400 of the Jesse Kelly Show. But we've had a talk 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.880 before like this, so let's just recap it again. How 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:41.080 the communists have always They've always been this way. They're really, really, 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:48.000 really good at creating symbols for the communist street animals 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.080 to either hate or love. And they can do this 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.520 at hoc. They can just put together one all at once, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.960 if it makes sense. This would be like a COVID 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.920 is a great example of this. George Floyd is a 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.840 great example of this. Some black gangbanger dies in Minneapolis, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.039 someone no one should care about. How do we go 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.199 directly from that to more state funerals than the Queen 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:14.000 of England. Well, the communists can tell their herd animal followers. 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.400 This guy's important, This guy's a saint, This guy's important, 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.600 This guy's a saint. And heard animals go where the 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.240 shepherd tells them to go. And they also can and 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:28.400 do successfully create idols for their herd animal followers to 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:35.000 throw tomatoes at your liberal and Peggy the Democrat in 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.920 your life? Have you ever asked them, why do you 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.800 hate Donald Trump so much? Of course you have, or 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.520 at least it's come up in conversation. Have you ever 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.880 had specifics? Do you ever get a specific Now you 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:58.200 don't these a Nazi? That's what? What do you know specifically? 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.520 But what don't you like? Have you asked me why 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.160 I didn't like Joe Biden? Why I didn't like Barack Obama? Well, 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.600 you better pull up a chair, because I've got all 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.040 kinds of details I can give you. They don't know 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:16.959 why because they've simply been told to. Now that has 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.239 been I should I shouldn't say effective. It's been effective 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.000 at programming their herd animal base, and it's been effective 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.760 at getting many Democrats into office and keeping them in office. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.400 So let be for dog catcher and all stop Trump. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.120 They're all running on Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. Every 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.880 Democrat topped the bottom. Democrats who will have nothing to 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.080 do with Trump, they run on I'm the one who'll 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.160 stop Trump. So Gavin Newsom himself is already running in 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.320 twenty twenty eight against Donald Trump. You've heard him start 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.680 on the media tool. We've played it for you many times. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.400 Already Trump's gonna run again. He's sending me a h maga, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.280 hats He's gonna run again. Does he believe that? Of 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.080 course not. But what he knows is he has to 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.519 be the anti Trump guy. That's how you get out. Okay, 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:06.560 we got that. But here's a problem. If you're a Democrat, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.320 and we've finally found the first one who was smart 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.600 enough to realize it and begin laying down the groundwork, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:22.400 the problem for a Democrat is Donald Trump's gone in 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:28.000 three years. You have taken your mentally ill, demonic base, 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.960 and you have burned Donald Trump into their mind for 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.840 ten years. For ten years, you have told them that 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.560 he is hitler and all the other stupid things you said, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.440 He's the end of all things. Ten years, you haven't 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.000 heard them run against Mike Johnson. For ten years, you 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.120 haven't heard them run against Senator Ron Johnson or you 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.400 haven't heard them. They don't even mention these names. They 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.960 don't care about these people. There's been one man they 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.440 have had to stop for ten years. Look at him, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.360 Look at him Trump. Here's Trump. He's the source of 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:09.040 all your problems. But he's gone soon. What to do? 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:15.320 What to do? Well? Now, now you have to essentially, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.200 at least in a small way, deprogram the communist robots 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.520 that make up the Democrat Party, and you have to 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.520 get their eyes moved on to the next one because 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.240 there will be no Trump on the ballot in twenty 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.120 twenty eight. And they'll make you know as well as 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.440 I do. They'll make some lame effort to try whoever 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.080 the Republican is the continuation of Trump or Trump is, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.240 They're gonna They're gonna have to try, because in the 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.800 mind of a Democrat in this country, Trump Trump is 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.520 still there, right, always there, always looming. But Trump will 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:59.920 be gone, So the transition has begun. What I'm about 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:03.800 to play you is Jensaki. I know you don't like her. 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.440 I know this guy who called into the show a 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:12.240 long time ago doesn't find her attractive, but she is smart. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:18.160 She unlike corin diversity higher. Jensaki actually was a very capable, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.719 good press secretary for Joe Biden. Think about the lies 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.440 she had to cover for, Think about the cadaver of 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.800 a president she had to cover for, and then she 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.080 transitioned right into a lucrative media job. Jensaki is very, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:34.520 very savvy, and Jensaki consider her the first. There will 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.640 be many now, but this is the first who is 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:43.679 going to begin laying down the groundwork to d program 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.080 the Democrat base of this country. It's time to get 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.920 their eyes moved to a different symbol. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.800 I think the little mentoring candidate jd Vance wants to 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.240 be president more than anything else. I always wonder what's 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.119 going on in the mind of his wife. Okay, please 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.719 bring blink four times, we'll come over here, We'll save you. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.119 And that he's willing to do anything to get there, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.720 and that your whole iteration you just outlined. I mean, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.200 he's scarier in certain ways, he's smart in some ways, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.599 and he's young and ambitious and ambitious. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:25.640 What you just heard was the first of a million 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:32.320 reprogramming efforts Democrats are about to launch in anticipation of 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.480 twenty twenty eight. They may not pick up the pace 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.960 on that until after the midterms, because they're still going 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.080 to need to run against Donald Trump in the midterms, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.560 trying to get people motivated to come out. We got 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.840 to stop Trump. We gotta stop Trump, all impeage Trump, 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.200 give us the House. They're going to have to do 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.520 all that. But once the midterms are done, this stuff 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.520 is going to ramp way up. If you're to believe 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.360 the way too early twenty twenty eight Republican primary polls, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.880 it really looks like JDV is just curve stomping the field, 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:06.719 which is not surprising Historically vice presidents that that's the 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.360 easiest route to get to be president. You've already been 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.280 on the world stage. You're standing next to the man. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.560 It's just the inevitable. Plus. Jd Vance is quite talented 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.720 at He's pretty good, very sharp. He has that happy 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.080 warrior thing, young, beautiful, happy family, so we's got all 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.560 that going for him. The transition is going to begin. 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.240 Jen Saki, give her credit, she was the first to 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:36.360 recognize it. There will be many, many, many, many many more. Now, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.560 some the stupider ones, the one there a lot of 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.280 them aren't as smart as Jensaki. The dumber ones, they'll 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.560 kind of wake up, probably after the midterms and think 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.680 to themselves, wait a minute, Trump isn't running again, but 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.520 who's the next guy? We better roll off the scarier 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.679 than Trump thing and they'll figure out it's jd Vance. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.800 But Jensaki. Credit to her, she was smart enough to 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.440 recognize it ahead of time. Jesse Actually, he says Bronco, 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.320 good to hear your explanation of future intimidation brought on 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.440 by actions against Brennan and Comy and others that was 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.360 last night. Please share with us what you might already 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.120 know and what you might learn from your lawyer associates 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.320 about the statutes of limitations and looking into prosecutions. Way 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.200 back to people hiding the truth, such as Peter Struck, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.160 Alexander Vinman, Cassidy Hutchinson, so on and so forth. His 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.880 name is Jim and he's from Idaho. All right, So 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.840 that's kind of this in a way, is going to 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.920 piggyback off of what I kind of just covered last 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:42.120 hour in a little different way. We're not going to 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:46.640 get all those people. I know, you could name one 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.920 hundred people communists from the government who should go to 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.199 jail for the crimes they committed. I can name them. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.360 You can name them. We all know the names because 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.600 you're you get the stories. You know we're not going 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:02.040 to get a hundred. We're gonna get a you We're 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:07.040 not going to get the justice we deserve with the 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.040 last administration. I don't want to tell you to set 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.080 it aside or put it out of your mind, because 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.760 that sounds so dismissive, like your concerns aren't valid. But 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.760 you need to let that go. This time, we're gonna 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.680 get a few. Hopefully it's not four or five. Hopefully 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.520 it's ten by the time it's done. But we're gonna 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.760 get a few. In the grand scheme of things, we're 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.960 not going to bring down every evil actor and every 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.160 evil actor we indict for their crimes. Some of these 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.360 are gonna get off. You heard Will Chamberlain last night. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.600 He came on and he gave it to a straight 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.439 I think John Bolton's going down. Ah, this guy, I'm 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.680 not sure, call me, I'm not. John Brennan was referred 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.200 yesterday to the DOJ for what lying to Congress. Even 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.320 if he goes quote down, that's going to be a 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:03.000 slap on the wrist, but not the end the beginning. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.040 Some is probably the best we can hope for. We'll 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.760 do some more emails. Next it is the Jesse Kelly 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.600 Show on a Wonderful Wednesday, reminding you that Friday is 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.480 asked Doctor Jesse Friday. I won't be here tomorrow. I 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.320 have the Megan Kelly tour thing. So get your ask 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.240 doctor Jesse. Questions for Friday emailed And now the Jesse 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.640 at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Jesse, where were the no 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.520 Kings protesters when the Clintons were king for eight years? 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.720 Where were the protesters when Trump was all? 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:34.880 Right? 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.120 A point you already know, but a point that bears repeating. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.040 They don't say these things because they believe them to 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:50.560 be true. Logical people like you who think about reality 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.559 and truth and you think about things logically. You look 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.840 at Donald Trump and people calling him a hitler or 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.559 a king or something like that, and you think that's ridiculous, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.280 that has no basis in reality. And we love these 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.480 these gotcha moments with them where you'll see people on 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.800 the street interviewing them and they'll say, well, if he 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.000 was a king, but why are you allowed to come 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.800 out here in protest? And you always see these communists 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.760 kind of short circuit on the whole thing. But that's 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:26.480 not why they do it. Remember, they create symbols. It 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.840 does not have to have in fact, it never does 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:33.720 have any basis in reality. Reality, Truth is not important 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.400 for these people. Remember the words I've played for you 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.080 a thousand times before. This is the head of NPO. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.120 Pre are reverence for the truth might become, might have 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.400 become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.400 from finding consensus and getting important things done. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.720 Truth is not what matters, not to these people at all. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:01.960 No kings created an opportunity to rally the troops. Rally 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.840 the troops, take it to the streets, That's what it created. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.760 And it created an opportunity for Democrats to try to 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.439 give their base something. I saw again. I saw another 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:20.880 poll yesterday showing that Democrats are so upset with how 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.679 weak their party is. Your weak? What's that mean? What's 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:30.319 that say? You're not stopping Trump? They're Democrats are not 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.959 are not crying out for Democrats to become more moderate. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.440 I have not seen a single poll indicating that at 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.080 any level they're not crying out for Democrats to moderate 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.520 on the border, on trany stuff, on any of the 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.040 horrible things they do. There is no outcry from the 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.559 Democrat base, and Democrats will ultimately be forced to serve 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.160 their base. The only outcry from the Democrat base is 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.280 stop Trump, get Trump, Stop Trump, get Trump. Why do 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.800 you keep the government shut down? Why? Why do you 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.640 have a no King's rally? It was all you have 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.200 the power to do when it comes to stopping them. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.599 What are you going to talk about? The shutdown? To 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.800 have no free press so no information can come out? 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:14.840 And that dramatic? 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.640 And doesn't that dramatically hurt the American people when government 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.120 just shielded and can do whatever it wants and hurt 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.560 as many people as it wants. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.800 Because you don't have a free press, they're just grasping 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.760 at anything right now. What are you talking about a 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.520 free press? What are you talking about here's Reuben glad 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.280 or are you explaining that to federal workers, including those 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.320 in your state who aren't getting paid well? To be honest, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.240 sometimes this does suck, and I'm sorry that we're actually 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.360 putting you in this situation. Well, well it does suck. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.160 It's just look, here's here's Catherine Clark, how's minority. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:55.480 I mean, shutdowns are terrible and of course there will be, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.600 you know, families that are going to suffer. We take 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.200 that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.480 few leverage times we have. 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:12.040 Hey, got some leverage. Sorry, it's sucking for your family, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.280 but we got leverage here. That's a great message. You 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.920 should run with that for sure, Jesse. Actually, he says, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.760 dear self appointed James Beard nominee of Burger's. Hey, Chris, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.960 who's James Beard? I always hear about this James Beard guy. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.000 He's gotta be a food guy. Curious if you could 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.760 help settle a debate. Ooh, A friend and I were 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.760 having a discussion about bean dip. Not the high level, 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.520 sophisticated seven layer bean dip Chris eats. But I'm talking 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.320 about the krem Dela Krems stuff that comes in a can. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.360 You can peel back the metal lid. It could easily 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.120 make a meal with the stuff if you give me 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.520 a bag of Frito's. Where does bean dip fall in 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.080 your hierarchy of dips to eat with chips? All right, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:03.320 so he's right about garbage seven layer bean dip. And 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.600 you know why seven layer bean dip is disgusting because 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.840 six of the layers are disgusting. That's why I don't 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.280 want sour cream. Sour cream is freaking nasty. I don't 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.800 want sour cream anywhere. Why are you giving me cream 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.240 that went bad? I don't want sour cream. I definitely 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:23.720 don't want tomatoes. Tomatoes have been assaulting our food for 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:28.840 far too long. He's one hundred percent correct about that 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:34.440 free Doo lay bean dip, including the hot bean dip. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:40.080 I'm reasonably sure that there aren't any actual beans in 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:44.120 it at all. I'm sure it's just some cancer causing 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.600 chemical concoction that they stuff in that can. I mean, 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.160 when you have bean dip that's good for like twenty 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.000 five years, there's probably some stuff in there you shouldn't 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.280 be eating. But every now and then I'll just grab 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.160 a can of that free Dola beanedp and all go 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.320 eighte on it. It is the Jesse Kelly Show Wednesday 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.680 up Day, and the government shutdown threatens food stamps for 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:17.880 forty two million Americans. We have forty two million Americans 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:25.520 on food stamps. That is criminal. Forty two million on 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.880 Americans on food stamps. That actually brings me to this 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.320 a whistleblower. This is from Freebeacon was meeting with the 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.480 SEC accusing a solar panel company of fraud. The Biden 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.600 administration guaranteed a three billion dollar loan for the company 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:47.000 at the same time, just straight up looting three billion 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.760 dollars from the treasury and handing it to a solar 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.840 panel company. My point in comparing these two stories is 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.720 something we've talked about many times before. It zough freakin 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.720 frustrating that they just loot the treasury and hand out 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:09.040 vast quantities of your money to their allies. Every chance 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.280 they get. They buy votes, they buy more political donations, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.280 and this is part of what Jade's people on the 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:20.240 freaking political process so badly that the fraud the theft 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.120 is just so out the freaking open. It drives people nut. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.520 It drives me nuts. You know what, We're gonna do 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:32.520 some emails tonight. Jesse, retire law enforcement officer, appalled at 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.840 the standards. He's talking about the Ice story from last night. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.440 The Ice story where the recruits are they were asked 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.160 to do the most basic stuff like fifteen push ups, 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.280 and they couldn't do fifteen push ups. The Ice applicants. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.840 There's fifteen push ups, man. Anyway, the guy says. More 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.960 appalling is the lack of our young unable to reach 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.520 these standards. The academy back in the eighties required not 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.399 only a higher standard, you had to pass a PT 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.520 tests to graduate. The unwritten rule of law enforcement was 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.399 to keep yourself fit because you didn't want to be 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.360 the guy who got another officer injured or god forbid killed. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.919 He said, absolutely, state my name and his name is Steve. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.720 This is this goes to a larger point, but it's 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.240 something I touched on last night that I want to 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:26.800 make sure I reinforce. We do. We have a challenge. 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:31.840 We have challenges today that are unique to us. Most 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.159 of human history is fairly consistent, but you, especially if 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.199 you're a parent, you do have some challenges today that 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.320 no other generation of parents has had to deal with. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.960 And two of the big ones and they kind of 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.960 tie together. But two of the big challenges parents have 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:55.920 today are the physicality and conversational ability of our children. 0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:00.840 Because we're talking physicality, we'll deal with that first. Unless 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.040 your child plays sports. And this is why I want 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.199 to encourage you to get your child into sports of 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.000 some kind. Don't demand they become an all world athlete 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.159 or something. Just let them freaking play sports. Get your 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:18.080 child into a sport. If you don't make sure your 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:24.119 child is doing something physical, you have to be more 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:30.840 purposeful about that than any parent in human history. Because today, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:36.000 because of technology, kids don't have to move. I'm not 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.439 being old crotchety Grandpa Jesse, But for my childhood and 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.320 I'm only forty four, for my childhood, we went and 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:49.240 got on our bikes, we went exploring in the woods. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.160 At recess time, you went out to the playground and 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.120 you hurt yourself falling off the monkey bars. You played tag, 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:03.280 you played smear the Yeah, this is what you did. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.560 And it didn't mean you were an athlete or something 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:10.080 like that. Life was physical. If you go look at 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.000 this stuff now, with schools that allow it, you'll see 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.960 at recess time a bunch of eight year olds finding 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.199 a place to sit against the fence and be on 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:23.240 their phone. Life is less physical now. As a parent, 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.720 you look, I have to do this in my house. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.280 You have to be purposeful about it. Unless your child 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.719 is naturally physical athletic wants to move, you have to 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:38.119 say go walk, push ups, time to lift weights. You 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.840 have to do that. And I'm sorry you do. But 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:45.359 what's happening is our physicality as a country, because of 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.720 our advanced level of technology, it is rotting away. And 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.240 there are huge consequences to that. I'm not just talking 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.360 about later on in life, the health consequences that will 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:59.800 obviously come with it. I'm talking about now physically two weak. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.640 That's one two something else we've talked about before. As 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:09.680 a parent, now you have to teach your child how 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:14.360 to have a conversation in ways other generations of parents 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.200 never did. I've adopted the rule in Miami. I've told 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.040 you about it. In fact, my in laws are in town, 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.280 my sister's in town. Were going out for a late 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.879 dinner after the show tonight. You know what I'm gonna do. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.480 I'm gonna pull the boys aside as soon as I 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.720 get home, and cell phones are going to be confiscated immediately, 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.280 and the rules going to be given a rule they 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:41.320 already know. When someone says something to you, asks you 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.920 something one word, answers our outright band, you will give 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:50.240 two complete sentences at least, and tonight I might add 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:54.200 on and demand a question. So when James sits down 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.400 with his aunt Mickey tonight and she says, how's cross country? 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:02.160 He's not gonna get away with good not acceptable, Nope, nope, 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.920 make a sentence details, make a couple sentences, and then 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.320 following that those two sentences, cross country's pretty good. We 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:15.080 have state coming up next week. Ask her a question, 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.960 how's work going for you? How's how's the weather where 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.800 you are? How how's your dog? How's your two sentences 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.520 and a question. This for older people. Maybe you're rolling 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.679 your eyes right now. If you're sixty year old listening 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:34.320 to me. You didn't have to have that. I didn't 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.280 have to have that. We had to have conversations. There 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:42.920 was nothing else to do. Today. You can disappear into 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:47.199 this technological online world. Parents do it, by the way, 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:50.760 it's not just children. Parents will do it. Grandparents will 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.439 do it. This is not unique to kids. Senior citizens. 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.960 They'll sit there on their iPhones, their iPads and just 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.879 zone out for hours at a time. We have to 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:04.879 be per purposeful about it, purposeful about it. We have to. 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:13.880 It's hard, it's freaking challenging, but we do. Jesse subject 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.719 to this one is sorry about your father. When you 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:20.119 mentioned the one year anniversary of your father's passing, it 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:22.960 made me remember what I thought about when you shared 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:24.680 it last year, but I thought it would be too 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.360 soon for you to see the humor in it. He 0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:30.680 left this life exactly the way you describe leaving any 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.560 party when you are done, just slip out the back 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.000 with no warning. He really was your dad and you 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:42.160 are his son. That's really true. That's actually extremely true, 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.000 and thank you for that, he said. My dad, Jim 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:48.760 was an Air Force veteran working on force. Air Force 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:52.560 Vietnam veteran working on F fours. We lost him on 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.879 Christmas Day in twenty twenty after having a stroke in 0:23:55.960 --> 0:24:00.160 twenty eighteen. He didn't die from COVID, but the restrictions 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.240 made things difficult for a good while. He was home 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.200 recovering and we were only able to visit by sitting 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:10.879 outside his window. Thankfully we had that. We were able 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:14.000 to bring him home for his last eleven days, and 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:16.879 I'm grateful my brother's sister and myself were able to 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:20.320 be there for him those last two years. I know 0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:22.400 this is long, but if you really read it, feel 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.800 free to say my name. I wish my dad could 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.240 have listened to you. He would have loved your show. 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:30.879 His name was Brent I'm sorry about your father. Man. Yeah, no, 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:36.359 I'm It sucks, but it's something everybody goes through. This 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:41.639 is life, right comes and it goes and would lose people. 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.119 He talked to anybody who's older, they say, one of 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:47.480 the hardest parts about it is everyone around you is dying. 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.480 My wife she actually has both of her grandma's. I 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.199 don't have any grandparents left. My wife has both of 0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:59.240 her grandma's and one of them in her nineties. Just 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.280 angels of a woman. She talks about it all the time. 0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.720 She says, it freaking sucks. She lost her husband recently. 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.600 Everyone I have ever known is dead. I'm the last one. 0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:14.440 It is the Jesse Kelly Show. At a Fantastic Wednesday, 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.880 Allday asked doctor Jesse Friday is gonna be the next 0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.920
