Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show. Let's have some fun.
Speaker 2: On a Tuesday and election day, and we're actually about
Speaker 2: to have a talk about elections here on the world
Speaker 2: famous Jesse Kelly Show on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Obviously, we're not really going to know anything tonight, so
Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll recap the good, the bad, the ugly fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to me and still in line at
Speaker 1: a polling place somewhere, stay in line and vote. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll get to elections in a few but that's not
Speaker 1: all we have tonight. There's something very, very big I
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. After we talk about elections.
Speaker 1: We are going to have a discussion about stories and
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories and things that are going to matter for
Speaker 1: your life and my life, for the rest of your life,
Speaker 1: certainly the rest of your political involvement, and it's time
Speaker 1: we had a talk. So we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: Then we'll get to Democrats buying votes. We'll make fun
Speaker 1: of Michelle Obama, Joe manchiins in the news. We're finally
Speaker 1: getting the smallest amount of COVID accountability. It's not enough,
Speaker 1: but at least did something all that emails, so much
Speaker 1: more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly's show.
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, I'm going to play something
Speaker 1: for you. I want you to just sit and listen.
Speaker 1: It's not very long. This is former Assistant Attorney General
Speaker 1: for Civil Rights Kristin Clark. Kristin Clark knee deep in
Speaker 1: the DOJ. Listen to this.
Speaker 3: This Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice and
Speaker 3: racial equity, and ensuring that we have environmental justice for
Speaker 3: vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Let me play it again. This is not some social worker,
Speaker 1: kindergarten teacher, activists on a street quarter street corner. Was
Speaker 1: not a Hollywood actress, professor at Columbia Democrat politician. This
Speaker 1: human being had real significant power in the justice system.
Speaker 1: This human being did things like use that power against
Speaker 1: pro life activists so she could just throw some of
Speaker 1: her political opponents in jail. Let me the play we
Speaker 1: played against.
Speaker 3: This Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice and
Speaker 3: racial equity, and ensuring that we have environmental justice for
Speaker 3: vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Now, do you know where she's at now, at this
Speaker 1: exact moment, you know where she's at. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, don't have a tracker on her.
Speaker 1: But you know where she's not. She's not in the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice anymore. She's not there in the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice using the government as a weapon against you
Speaker 1: and me. She's not able to do that anymore. She
Speaker 1: had that power, she, like all demonic communists, used that
Speaker 1: power against good people as hard and fast as she
Speaker 1: possibly could. But she does not have that power anymore.
Speaker 1: And do you know why she doesn't have that power anymore?
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because you voted. That's why. Because
Speaker 1: when election day came around this past November, you didn't
Speaker 1: swallow the blackpill.
Speaker 4: Voting doesn't matter. We can't vote our way out of this.
Speaker 4: You didn't do that. You got up off your cauch.
Speaker 4: Maybe you brought a friend, Maybe you brought your mom.
Speaker 4: Maybe you brought your husband or your wife or your son.
Speaker 4: Maybe you sent out a group text. Maybe you donated
Speaker 4: your time, maybe you donated money. Maybe I don't know
Speaker 4: what all you did specifically, but you didn't throw your.
Speaker 1: Hands up, give it up. Elections don't matter. You got
Speaker 1: up off the couch and you're a human being with
Speaker 1: things to do. You have obligations, duties. Maybe you're a
Speaker 1: stay at home mom, maybe you have a job, maybe
Speaker 1: you're both, maybe you have school. But you set aside
Speaker 1: time in your day and you voted today. I live
Speaker 1: in Texas. It's not just New York, New Jersey, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Critical elections happening all over the country today. And believe me,
Speaker 1: I'm not singing my praises here. Left the house an
Speaker 1: hour early. Why it's election day. Critically important votes happened
Speaker 1: today in my area an hour early. I would have
Speaker 1: loved to sit at home for another hour in my robe,
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm a rope guy. Instead, I got
Speaker 1: all my stuff done, got in the shower, and took off.
Speaker 1: And then when I got there, of course the machines
Speaker 1: fritzed out. No, there was nothing the farious going on.
Speaker 1: They had to reboot the machine. So the line's going
Speaker 1: out the door. It was like, I got the ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen minute process. But you know what I voted,
Speaker 1: and you know why, because it matters a lot. Elections matter,
Speaker 1: your participation in elections matters, and we can fool ourselves
Speaker 1: because we all just look. I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times you got to vote. Today it was just one
Speaker 1: for me. I'm just one person. I only get to
Speaker 1: vote once. It's the only political power I have. With
Speaker 1: the exception of whatever influence we have, you know, you
Speaker 1: with your your your friend's circle, with your social media profile.
Speaker 1: I would I realize I have some level of influence
Speaker 1: because of the show and whatnot, But really, my only
Speaker 1: tangible political power is my vote. And I am a
Speaker 1: free citizen and I used it today. I made a
Speaker 1: tiny sacrifice, left the house an hour early, and I voted.
Speaker 1: The reason Donald Trump is in the White House and
Speaker 1: not Dome, not Kamala Harris. The reason our Secretary of
Speaker 1: War is bouncing around the military kicking out all the
Speaker 1: trainees and making our military a sharpened spear. The reason
Speaker 1: this person's not at the DOJ.
Speaker 3: And same Justice Department is deeply committed to racial justice
Speaker 3: and racial equity and ensuring that we have environmental justice
Speaker 3: for vulnerable communities is a part of that work.
Speaker 1: Is because you voted, because you recognize that elections matter,
Speaker 1: and you got up, you got involved, You made sacrifices.
Speaker 1: Maybe your sacrifice was small, maybe it was an hour
Speaker 1: of your day, Maybe your sacrifices were great. Maybe you've
Speaker 1: run for office, maybe you're now in office. Maybe you organized,
Speaker 1: maybe you worked. Whatever the sacrifice was, you did it,
Speaker 1: you got involved. We won elections. And now look, hey,
Speaker 1: it didn't make everything perfect. We got problems on top
Speaker 1: of problems on top of problems. It didn't make everything perfect.
Speaker 1: It didn't solve everything. It certainly didn't solve it all overnight.
Speaker 1: But we are in such a better place because you
Speaker 1: voted and we won. Now, like I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: a journalist. I am not going to dedicate anytime on
Speaker 1: tonight's show to whatever breaking news from this precinct in
Speaker 1: Virginia or this pre sink in New Jersey. But that's brutal.
Speaker 1: We're not going to know until tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will
Speaker 1: digest the results. If we have results, you know how
Speaker 1: it's been working. We will digest the results and we
Speaker 1: will talk about them. But elections matter for better in
Speaker 1: for words, good and bad. Elections matter you in your lifetime.
Speaker 1: If you are old enough, you've lost a million of them.
Speaker 1: And not only does it hurt on election night, you
Speaker 1: look around and you see the results of losing one,
Speaker 1: and man, it hurts and hopefully you've won a bunch
Speaker 1: two When you look around and you think, Wow, thank
Speaker 1: goodness for New York City tonight. I don't know how
Speaker 1: it's going to go. I don't know if a New
Speaker 1: Yorker is going to wake up tomorrow and this guy's
Speaker 1: man pay for it, who's going to end up putting
Speaker 1: the bill for those programs? Well, I answer my question.
Speaker 1: My first, explain some of the endorsements that Andrew Cuoma
Speaker 1: has received. If you're a New Yorker and you wake
Speaker 1: up tomorrow and that guy is going to be the
Speaker 1: next mayor of New York, you are going to be
Speaker 1: in for very hard times. You have watched the slow,
Speaker 1: steady degradation of the world's greatest city. You have watched
Speaker 1: it turn into a place that smells like pe garbage
Speaker 1: and weed. You have watched as people get thrown in
Speaker 1: front of subway cars, stabbed, shot. You have watched it,
Speaker 1: and all of that is going to be worse. If
Speaker 1: you wake up tomorrow and ma'am Donnie's mayor can't make
Speaker 1: that better. I Can'm not going to sugarcoat it for you.
Speaker 1: Elections matter, Elections matter a lot. Who leads a society
Speaker 1: we look We don't like politicians. I don't like them.
Speaker 1: You don't like them, but they you occupy critically important
Speaker 1: positions of power in our society. And who leads our
Speaker 1: society at any level, local, state or federal does matter. Elections,
Speaker 1: for better or worse. They're a really really big deal.
Speaker 1: And some you'll win, some you'll lose. Maybe we will
Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow. Look, I voted on hugely important things
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, constitutional amendments on everything from
Speaker 1: bail reform to parental right, stuff that hugely important things.
Speaker 1: Maybe I will wake up tomorrow and maybe we lost
Speaker 1: the bunch and it's gonna hurt. Maybe you're in Virginia,
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna wake up tomorrow, and maybe a guy
Speaker 1: who fantasizes about murdering kids is the next attorney general.
Speaker 1: Not ideal, I know, but it does matter. It matters
Speaker 1: a lot. Don't ever let some doomer on the internet
Speaker 1: tell you that.
Speaker 4: Elections don't matter, they're all stolen, or vote our way.
Speaker 1: Out of this what a bunch of crap. Get up,
Speaker 1: get involved, and go vote. And that way of thinking
Speaker 1: that leads me into what's probably going to be a
Speaker 1: very long conversation and I feel like it's an important
Speaker 1: conversation we need to have about propaganda operations, political things,
Speaker 1: things you've seen and we'll see again.
Speaker 4: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Tuesday.
Speaker 1: And remember I am going to get to your emails
Speaker 1: later on the show. I want to have a fairly
Speaker 1: long talk with you first, but I will get to
Speaker 1: those and you can email the show Jesse at Jesse
Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. We're also going to get to Democrats
Speaker 1: buying votes at least, some tiny bit of COVID accountability,
Speaker 1: and so much more coming up. But I got an
Speaker 1: email from a moron and I wanted I wanted to
Speaker 1: address it because this is something that I am going
Speaker 1: to do with the deal with, and you are going
Speaker 1: to deal with in your life, in your political life,
Speaker 1: and we can't walk away from politics. It's too important.
Speaker 1: But we have to understand what we encounter, especially what
Speaker 1: we encounter on the internet. Okay, so I want to
Speaker 1: read the email from this idiot and then we will
Speaker 1: have a discussion. And look, I'm not Chris, I'm not
Speaker 1: being mean. Some people are morons that you can't help
Speaker 1: your IQ. Some people are just dumb and that's Look,
Speaker 1: we have to help dumb people too, Right. If you
Speaker 1: see a dog limping along, you want to fix this
Speaker 1: little paw. Stupid people are limping through life and you
Speaker 1: have to help them. So I got this email, Bro,
Speaker 1: you don't seem like the same Jesse from a year ago.
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk assassination, the FBI and Dan Bongino sucks.
Speaker 1: I used to listen to Dan, but I know when
Speaker 1: we've been sold out and I'm not afraid to call
Speaker 1: it out. You seem very silent on this. What say
Speaker 1: you got? So this is in reference to some online
Speaker 1: rumor thing that Charlie Kirk's assassination was a I don't know,
Speaker 1: a federal government operation, or he was murdered by Israel,
Speaker 1: or I actually saw someone say he was murdered by
Speaker 1: Donald Trump or the Okay, so let's pause for a moment.
Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about this specifically because it's
Speaker 1: so stupid. That's not the point. The point is, how
Speaker 1: does anybody how does anybody get that thumb to send
Speaker 1: me this email? Well, there's actually a lot to it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to it, and we have to have
Speaker 1: this discussion because your susceptible to it, and so am I.
Speaker 1: Everybody is susceptible to it. So let me explain how
Speaker 1: things work. It's going to be a very long drawn
Speaker 1: out analogy, So let me explain how things work. And
Speaker 1: this is a cautionary tale for me and for you
Speaker 1: about the rabbit holes you can find yourself in, who
Speaker 1: creates them and why they create them. And in large part,
Speaker 1: I'm not having this talk with you about this specific email.
Speaker 1: It's about the people who say voting doesn't matter. And
Speaker 1: there is so much to this, so stay with me.
Speaker 1: Stay with me. Now, let's set this up in a
Speaker 1: completely non political way. Let's say I I don't like bagels.
Speaker 1: I actually love bagels, but for the point of our
Speaker 1: argument here, I am anti bagel. I not only don't
Speaker 1: want to eat bagels, I don't want you to eat bagels.
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't want bagels to exist anymore. Jewish
Speaker 1: producer Chris unsurprisingly loves bagels, and actually not only does
Speaker 1: he love bagels, he makes his own homemade bagels, which
Speaker 1: are outstanding. I'm embarrassed to say, but they actually are
Speaker 1: really good. He brings him in sometimes, but anyway, Jewish
Speaker 1: producer Chris loves bagels. Surprise, surprise, he makes him himself.
Speaker 1: I hate bagels, all right. So those are the two factions.
Speaker 1: You have pro bagel Chris, you have anti bagel me.
Speaker 1: But Chris wants bagel love to spread far and wide.
Speaker 1: I want bagel love to stop. What we're both after, though,
Speaker 1: is you both of us, both of us. We are
Speaker 1: out to recruit you. We want to grab you and
Speaker 1: bring you in to our bagel or anti bagel camp.
Speaker 1: Chris wants you on his team. He wants you eating bagels.
Speaker 1: He wants you buy in bagels. He wants you to
Speaker 1: tell family and friends that bagels are good, and bagel
Speaker 1: this and bagel that. Me, I want you on my side.
Speaker 1: You never touch a bagel. If you see someone eating
Speaker 1: while you slap it out of their hands. He tell
Speaker 1: friends and family how bad bagels are. So how do
Speaker 1: we go about this? What do we do? We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about this and it may be pretty revealing
Speaker 1: for things you see, especially online. It's the online world
Speaker 1: that's going to suck you into this rabbit hole. So
Speaker 1: we'll go over that in a moment. Before we go
Speaker 1: over that, I think I think you understand as well
Speaker 1: as I do that. Crime is so so bad right now.
Speaker 1: One of the constitutional amendments we voted on today in
Speaker 1: Texas was essentially a bail form amendment that would stop
Speaker 1: these judges in our urban areas from letting the animals
Speaker 1: out of jail. That's how bad crime is. We now
Speaker 1: have to have constitutional amendments because judges won't stop letting
Speaker 1: animals out on the streets. It is the Jesse Kelly's
Speaker 1: Show on a Magnificent Tuesday, and we are discussing infacted.
Speaker 1: Don't worry if you're just now joining us, you I've
Speaker 1: missed it. We are about to discuss the various rabbit
Speaker 1: holes and conspiracy theories people can get sucked into. You
Speaker 1: can and I can, but we're all susceptible to it.
Speaker 1: How these operations, how and why these operations work. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: in order to set this up, the analogy is I'm
Speaker 1: anti Bagel, which I'm not, but I'm anti Bagel. I
Speaker 1: hate them. I don't want to eat them. I don't
Speaker 1: want you to eat them. I want Bagel's band. Chris
Speaker 1: Jewish producer. Chris is mister pro Bagel loves them. Once
Speaker 1: the Bagel loves spread around. Okay, anti bagel, Me pro bagel, Chris.
Speaker 1: Now what we're after, of course, is you. We want
Speaker 1: you in our camp, and you know where you are.
Speaker 1: We know it, Chris knows it, and I know it.
Speaker 1: You're online. I'll make this about you, know what. I'll
Speaker 1: make it about Facebook, but it would apply to anywhere
Speaker 1: on social media. You are online. So what do I need?
Speaker 1: I want you to stop eating these friggin' bagels? Well,
Speaker 1: I need I need the word to spread. So here's
Speaker 1: something I will do. I have money, I'll start spreading
Speaker 1: it around. How does this work? Well, I go find
Speaker 1: people who have large followings on Facebook. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: make it about Facebook. Member it applies to everything I have.
Speaker 1: Go find people who have large followings on Facebook, and
Speaker 1: depending on the size of the following, I will pay
Speaker 1: them for a social media post that trashes bagels. So
Speaker 1: if you have ten thousand friends on Facebook, I'll give
Speaker 1: you one thousand dollars. If you have fifty thousand friends,
Speaker 1: I'll give you five thousand dollars. Now what do I
Speaker 1: want for this? All I want I'm paying you for
Speaker 1: one post. All I want is you to go on
Speaker 1: Facebook and say, man, bagels are trash and the people
Speaker 1: who eat bagels or trash. Okay, well what happens from there? Well,
Speaker 1: what happens from there is I pay you, you take
Speaker 1: the money, you put up the Facebook post. But then
Speaker 1: people start talking about it, because it's not just me
Speaker 1: talking about it now, it's somebody with a large following
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Now people are commenting on there. It's what
Speaker 1: do you mean?
Speaker 4: I'm not trash, I love bagels, I'm four bagels.
Speaker 1: What's in the conversation? What is in the conversation now?
Speaker 4: No one was talking about being anti bagel yesterday, absolutely
Speaker 4: nobody at all.
Speaker 1: Now, with a little bit of cheddar spread around, I've
Speaker 1: got all kinds of people talking about it. Maybe you
Speaker 1: are even PARTI dissipating in the conversation without any knowledge
Speaker 1: whatsoever that you are part of a propaganda campaign against bagels.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Chris is doing the same thing.
Speaker 1: He's spending money. Hey, I needed to be pro bagel,
Speaker 1: did Hey do you know what I think? Why don't
Speaker 1: you write an article about how great bagels are, about
Speaker 1: how healthy they are? Oh link to the article. Chris
Speaker 1: is spending money. I'm spreading money. Do you remember the
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris campaign? Pause for a moment. Do you remember
Speaker 1: the stories that started coming out. We had people with
Speaker 1: large social media followings during Kamala Harris's presidential run, people
Speaker 1: who ended up spilling the beans, and they said that
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris campaign wanted to pay us, offered to pay
Speaker 1: me to say something that seemed totally organic on Facebook
Speaker 1: or Instagram. Hey love Kamala Harris, can't wait to vote
Speaker 1: for her. She's smart. So now that's the paid portion
Speaker 1: of it. But it actually gets worse from here. I
Speaker 1: just paid for it. Chris paid for it. We got
Speaker 1: this propaganda war going on. He's paying and I'm paying.
Speaker 1: Now maybe you, maybe me, we start getting in on
Speaker 1: the campaign. So after all, some famous people are.
Speaker 4: Talking about bagels, anti bagel, pro bagel.
Speaker 1: I want I want to have an opinion.
Speaker 4: These these pro bagel people are scum. How could you
Speaker 4: be anti BAGEO, You're trash. But you know who else
Speaker 4: is about to get involved? Well, pause on this for
Speaker 4: a moment. Do you understand one of the main ways
Speaker 4: intelligence agencies have worked for all of mankind?
Speaker 1: We do this. Every major intelligence agency today takes part
Speaker 1: in this. We do things like this. We do it.
Speaker 1: Russia does it China does it, Britain does it, France
Speaker 1: does it, Israel does it, Saudi Arabia does it, Iran
Speaker 1: does it. Katard that they all do this, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the main things they do and have always done.
Speaker 1: It's not all James Bond with his exploding pen and
Speaker 1: his sweet car that shoots missiles out the headlights. One
Speaker 1: of the main things intelligence agencies do is they try
Speaker 1: to pit people in a society against each other, and
Speaker 1: they seek out opportunities to get people tearing each other
Speaker 1: apart in a society. So let's say, who's an enemy
Speaker 1: of America. China is a great example. Well, why does
Speaker 1: China care about bagels? I don't care about begels. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if they have bagels in China. But
Speaker 1: you know what China does care about getting American citizens
Speaker 1: at each other's throats. China pays attention. They're on Facebook,
Speaker 1: they see this Bagel versus Anti Bagel campaign, and you
Speaker 1: know what, they find, we have an opportunity here. So
Speaker 1: what do they do from here? Well, it's quite simple, really.
Speaker 1: China creates fifty thousand new Facebook accounts, twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: of them. These are all run by computers. By the way,
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand accounts, they're going to join Chris's team.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be pro Bagel. Twenty five thousand accounts are
Speaker 1: going to join my team. They're going to be anti Bagel.
Speaker 1: Maybe I know about these accounts, Maybe I don't. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm involved in China, maybe I'm not. But the point
Speaker 1: is now that conversation gets ramped up even more and
Speaker 1: more and more, and now it seems like everybody's involved.
Speaker 1: Maybe I would even say something to you if you
Speaker 1: brought up bagel stuff to me in conversation.
Speaker 4: Hey, Jesse, everyone's mad about the bagels. We're so divided,
Speaker 4: and I would say, how do you know that? Haven't
Speaker 4: you seen all the comments online? Everyone's discussing it. It's
Speaker 4: Bagel with probi, it's anti Bagel.
Speaker 1: Now we not only have paid propaganda, now we have
Speaker 1: foreign countries uniquely invested in America dividing itself against itself.
Speaker 4: They're involved as well, because that's how intelligence agencies have
Speaker 4: always and will always work. The idea is always to
Speaker 4: weaken the country from within. Maybe you'll attack one day,
Speaker 4: maybe you won't attack one day, But no matter what,
Speaker 4: you are better off if your enemy country.
Speaker 1: Is divided, extremely divided. Now that was just a brief
Speaker 1: analogy and a brief example, but I want you to
Speaker 1: know that this can happen to you, and probably already has,
Speaker 1: and it can happen me, and probably already has. This
Speaker 1: stupid question.
Speaker 4: Was your silence about Charlie Kirk, the FB I murdered.
Speaker 1: Him, Buddy, I don't know anything about the case right now,
Speaker 1: and neither do you, you utter moron. The trial hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: We have certain facts, the things we know, things we've
Speaker 1: seen on video. But you grab these video bits or
Speaker 1: bits of information from this influencer or this bot online
Speaker 1: and you find ten thousand other people talking about it,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you you feel like you're educated,
Speaker 1: You feel like you know what you're talking about. And
Speaker 1: of course anybody who's not saying the same things you are,
Speaker 1: clearly they've sold out. Clearly they're traders. Clearly, this is
Speaker 1: what we are, all, you and me, all of us,
Speaker 1: every person, the smart, the domb, the tall, the short.
Speaker 1: Certainly the Italians were all susceptible to this. And this
Speaker 1: is about so much more than bagels. I'll finish this
Speaker 1: up in a moment. Hey, it is the Jesse.
Speaker 4: Kelly Show on a magnificent Tuesday. Remember you can email
Speaker 4: us Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. So to wrap
Speaker 4: this up, and we've had a similar conversation before, but
Speaker 4: I wanted to have it again, and we're going to
Speaker 4: have it again one day, and again another day, and
Speaker 4: again another day, because it's so important to understand how
Speaker 4: propaganda works, or if you don't like that word, because
Speaker 4: I guess we all engage in it on some level, right,
Speaker 4: how an influence operation works. There is so much bad
Speaker 4: information out there, so much insanity out there. That doesn't
Speaker 4: mean you stop you stop consuming the news. What it
Speaker 4: means is we have to.
Speaker 1: Be people of discernment. We have to sift through the
Speaker 1: noise and maybe, just maybe there are issues that come
Speaker 1: up and maybe you don't know who to believe or
Speaker 1: what to believe. What's a good Russia Ukraine? This is
Speaker 1: actually a great example because the propaganda was overwhelming when
Speaker 1: that first kicked off. It's died down big time right now,
Speaker 1: but overwhelming amounts of propaganda. And you add Russia invade Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and if you spent any time online on social media,
Speaker 1: you saw endless quantities of things that weren't real, half true.
Speaker 1: It was all over the news, the regular television news too,
Speaker 1: It was in the newspapers. It was endless. I remember
Speaker 1: I remember a story right after that thing kicked off
Speaker 1: about the quote ghost of Kiev. Who was the ghost
Speaker 1: of Kiev. He was a Ukrainian fighter pilot who was
Speaker 1: up in the skies taking out every Russian jet that
Speaker 1: came across his way, a supremely skilled fighter commander. And
Speaker 1: this thing spread so far and wide we had sitting
Speaker 1: members of Congress. I stand with the Ghost of Kiev.
Speaker 1: It's completely made up. None of it was real. No,
Speaker 1: this can get virtually impossible for anybody, for me, for you,
Speaker 1: it could get virtually impossible to figure out what is
Speaker 1: real when you are in the middle of a propaganda campaign,
Speaker 1: with all sides trying for your eyes and ears in
Speaker 1: your mind. They want you in your camp, some paid,
Speaker 1: some foreign, some the farius some What do you do?
Speaker 1: You know that it's okay to just sit back and
Speaker 1: say nothing. Sometimes it's okay to admit that you're not
Speaker 1: sure what is real and what is not. In fact, specifically,
Speaker 1: now that we're talking about that, I brought it up
Speaker 1: about Russia Ukraine not long after it started, and I've
Speaker 1: let outset it. I said it publicly. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: I said it on this show. I said, I am
Speaker 1: so tired already of the endless propaganda from both sides
Speaker 1: that I'm washing my ends of the whole thing. I
Speaker 1: can't tell what's real. I can't tell what's not. There's
Speaker 1: so much bad information out there that I'm not going
Speaker 1: to sit here and scream in the microphone about Russia
Speaker 1: Ukraine this and Russia Ukraine that is. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's real and what's accurate. And you know what's wrong
Speaker 1: with sitting these things out nothing, Sit back in w
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get emails from people you've changed.
Speaker 4: Why can't you admit that Donald Trump assassinated Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1: Buddy, you need to put your phone down. It's time
Speaker 1: to take the phone. Go find a drawer in your house,
Speaker 1: turn the phone off, put it in the drawer. You
Speaker 1: go for a walk, Go for a walk. Find was
Speaker 1: this guy? Girl? This is a girl? Is the dude?
Speaker 1: Go talk to a woman, Go out and get a pizza,
Speaker 1: go to church, go to the gun range. To even
Speaker 1: send me an email like this, you know that you
Speaker 1: know that you're the mark, right, you're the mark. There
Speaker 1: was a propaganda campaign waged and you fell victim to it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't know the details of
Speaker 1: what did didn't happen to Charlie Kirk. I'm not involved
Speaker 1: in the investigation. I haven't seen the DNA, the evidence
Speaker 1: that all the videotapes. I'm not telling you that I
Speaker 1: know each and everything that happened. I don't, And you
Speaker 1: know what, neither do you. Nobody does. We don't. But
Speaker 1: people can go down these disastrous rabbit holes on every
Speaker 1: single subject, every single thing that's out there, and you
Speaker 1: can turn out the dumbest human being on the planet.
Speaker 1: If you are not careful, you will go down so
Speaker 1: many rabbit holes. You will succumb to so many influence
Speaker 1: operations that you will say things like this email he
Speaker 1: typed out to me here that lead everybody who talks
Speaker 1: to you to believe that you have the IQ of
Speaker 1: a rat. That is a bad place to be. Put
Speaker 1: your phone down and walk away, all right. This is
Speaker 1: this is just a heads up that because social because
Speaker 1: of social media, it makes this easy. And these operations
Speaker 1: have been going on forever. Look It used to be
Speaker 1: word of mouth, maybe a written tablet in town. And
Speaker 1: then as technology advance, remember they're always using technology, it
Speaker 1: would be it would be newsletters in newspapers, and then
Speaker 1: and then the radio and booklets and and eventually television
Speaker 1: got into it. And you think about things like like
Speaker 1: the Nazis and other others, by the way, would use movies.
Speaker 1: You would get a movie, and you would you would
Speaker 1: write it and design it in such a way to
Speaker 1: manipulate people to think and act in certain ways. This
Speaker 1: is nothing new what we're going through. But what is
Speaker 1: new is how social media makes these propaganda campaigns, these
Speaker 1: influence operations. Social media makes it so easy. If you
Speaker 1: gave me, if you gave me a million dollar budget
Speaker 1: right now, I probably wouldn't even even need that much.
Speaker 1: But with my platform, in a million dollars, I bet
Speaker 1: you I could start a legitimate anti bagel campaign in
Speaker 1: the United States of America. I'm not even kidding, And
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't want money, I'm not asking
Speaker 1: for that, but I could. How stupid and ridiculous is that.
Speaker 1: I bet you within a week or two you would
Speaker 1: see chatter all over social media with people trashing bagels
Speaker 1: or being pro bagels. I made it up as a
Speaker 1: stupid analogy. I could make it happen. I could. I
Speaker 1: could invent it out of thin air because of money
Speaker 1: in social media. Be aware. This was a long lecture
Speaker 1: about being aware. All right, all right, let's talk about
Speaker 1: Democrats buying votes. That's good. It's good that we can
Speaker 1: talk about these things. And now it's out in the open.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some COVID accountability, which we're finally getting.
Speaker 1: I will get to a bunch of emails,
