Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly show. Let's have some fun on a Thursday,
Speaker 1: and what a great Thursday it is. The weekend is
Speaker 1: almost here. I'm officially a bachelor for three days. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: I didn't run out on me, so life. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what I'm gonna do with myself over the
Speaker 1: next three days, but I do know for the next
Speaker 1: three hours, I'm gonna screw off with you. We are
Speaker 1: going to talk. We'll talk a little bit more about messaging.
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of emails on the affordability argument.
Speaker 1: We'll touch on that, talk about some more good fraud
Speaker 1: things that are happening. We're gonna talk about little Debbie
Speaker 1: because that's really important. All that so much more coming
Speaker 1: up tonight. Oh, before I forget, we haven't had guests.
Speaker 1: I know very many guests. Well, I think one day
Speaker 1: we had two, and before that had been like two
Speaker 1: months since we had some. I figured it would probably
Speaker 1: be a good time to check back in with b
Speaker 1: We haven't heard BKA and his stupid abs in a while.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to BK. Brandon Darby, we haven't talked to
Speaker 1: him in a while. What's happening on the border, The cartels,
Speaker 1: the war on the cartels, kind of quiet out there
Speaker 1: is everything fine, I truly doubt it. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: do all that tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: And before we do any of that, I need to
Speaker 1: remind you that tomorrow is asked doctor Jesse Friday. Get
Speaker 1: your questions emailed in right now. Ask me anything Jesse
Speaker 1: at jessekellyshow dot com. They are already pouring in. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows the drill will have a good time tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to start out with this. This is
Speaker 1: an email. It's Jesse. I am disgusted by some of
Speaker 1: the recent rhetoric on the right. My wife and I
Speaker 1: did everything the older generations told us we needed to
Speaker 1: do for success. We went to college, worked long hours,
Speaker 1: lived frugally, et cetera. And now we have an upper
Speaker 1: middle class income living in a modest apartment. Our rent,
Speaker 1: student loan payments, and daycare costs for our new baby
Speaker 1: boy are well over five thousand dollars a month. If
Speaker 1: the choice is voting for AOC or Mamdani or people
Speaker 1: who believe the younger generations who would have large families
Speaker 1: and own homes if they just shut up an eight
Speaker 1: ultra process garbage. It's obvious which side will win. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's let's have a long talk again about affordability
Speaker 1: and what's going on, because with all the poop throwing
Speaker 1: going on about say this, don't say that this is right,
Speaker 1: this is wrong. Let's get down to the nitty gritty
Speaker 1: of the problem. And some of this you're gonna some
Speaker 1: of this you're gonna nod in agreement with, maybe all
Speaker 1: of it, but some of it may hurt to hear.
Speaker 1: Why is life significantly more expensive now than it was
Speaker 1: five years ago, ten years ago, certainly fifty years ago. Why? Okay,
Speaker 1: so on a macro level, let's let's use the long
Speaker 1: term thing, fifty years. Well, we'll say, over the last
Speaker 1: fifty years, why have prices gone up? What's going on there?
Speaker 1: It's something we're all used to. You'll talk to your
Speaker 1: dad or grandpa or however old you are, and and
Speaker 1: you know, you'll go to Jack in the box and
Speaker 1: you'll get a value meal that costs you six seven
Speaker 1: dollars now, and they'll say, I remember when a treesburger
Speaker 1: costs twenty five cents, And they're right, of course, you
Speaker 1: can go back and look at the menu. What explains that,
Speaker 1: What accounts for that? Whether there's a couple things, there's
Speaker 1: a couple of things that have just been happening that
Speaker 1: are so big they're out of our control and it sucks,
Speaker 1: but it's the way life goes. The first is this
Speaker 1: the debt situation. It's not that we have no control
Speaker 1: over that. But the truth is the national debt is gigantic.
Speaker 1: It's gigantic, and it continues to grow exponentially. And this
Speaker 1: is a problem. It's a problem that I hate to
Speaker 1: put it this way, but I'm just going to give
Speaker 1: it to you between the eyes. It's an untouchable problem
Speaker 1: at this time. Why is it untouchable. Here's why it's
Speaker 1: untouchable because the American people, most of them, maybe this
Speaker 1: doesn't apply to you, but most of the American people,
Speaker 1: they actually like it when the government spends their money.
Speaker 1: They like it. Now, hold on, maybe you're thinking, well,
Speaker 1: not me, Okay, you sure? Trump administration came out and
Speaker 1: announced that we need a one point five trillion dollar
Speaker 1: budget for just the military. We get a new aircraft carrier,
Speaker 1: the USS Jesse Keller, which is what I would name it.
Speaker 1: You happy that day. I want a strong navy. Do
Speaker 1: you want a strong navy. It's not the same. You
Speaker 1: see what I mean. You can pick and choose your thing,
Speaker 1: and now we can go. Look. You can go look
Speaker 1: at a pie chart of the budget of the United
Speaker 1: States of America and see where the money goes. The
Speaker 1: money goes to the military, it goes to Medicare, it
Speaker 1: goes to Social Security, it goes to medicaid. People will
Speaker 1: step in now, now you're probably already typing this email.
Speaker 1: Let me slow down on it. Pause before you hit send.
Speaker 1: You can still send it, but just pause for a
Speaker 1: second and hear me here. This is the point in
Speaker 1: time when people who like that spending in one way
Speaker 1: or the other. Maybe you live on Social Security and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and believe me, you're not getting judgment
Speaker 1: out of me. You paid into it. So maybe you're
Speaker 1: sitting there ready to fire off that email and say, well,
Speaker 1: maybe if we didn't foreign aid. I will again remind you,
Speaker 1: please go before you send the email and look at
Speaker 1: a pie chart of the budget for the United States
Speaker 1: of America. Foreign eight is bad for the most part.
Speaker 1: Fourign eight is bad. I am against foreign aid, no
Speaker 1: question about it. I am against foreign aid almost universally.
Speaker 1: It's bad. I don't like it. Right, It's a fraction,
Speaker 1: it's a tiny fraction. Do you want to know the numbers?
Speaker 1: These are rough. This is from ten years ago, by
Speaker 1: the way, but these are rough, but they're fairly close.
Speaker 1: Healthcare that'd be Medicare and Medicaid twenty five percent, Social
Speaker 1: Security that'd be twenty four percent. That's half the budget
Speaker 1: right there, those two things half the budget. Non defense
Speaker 1: discretionary spending and stuff like that sixteen percent, Department of
Speaker 1: Defense sixteen percent. And you have a couple other little
Speaker 1: things mixed in there. Net interest going up a lot.
Speaker 1: It's not just well, stop sending money to Ukraine and
Speaker 1: that'll fix things. That's not true. Our budget is eaten
Speaker 1: up by a gigantic military, by Medicare, Medicaid, and social Security.
Speaker 1: That's not me yelling that you shouldn't have those things
Speaker 1: you paid into. That's me explaining the math. That's the math.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and this hurts. We can't afford
Speaker 1: those things. We do not make that kind of a money.
Speaker 1: That kind of money, we cannot afford those days. Well,
Speaker 1: set yourself aside for a moment. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: take away anyone's medical care or social Security check. We're
Speaker 1: going to set aside feelings here and have a frank discussion.
Speaker 1: We are making one thousand dollars a month. We are
Speaker 1: spending fifteen hundred dollars a month, meaning we're financing five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. Obviously, I'm lowering all these numbers
Speaker 1: just so they're more easily palatable. Now, let me ask
Speaker 1: you something. If I'm financing five hundred dollars a month,
Speaker 1: every single month, for year after year after year after
Speaker 1: year after year, and remember I'm only bringing in one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month, what is happening. What's happening is
Speaker 1: the loan is getting larger the amount I owe. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's getting larger. The interest payments are getting larger, and
Speaker 1: I don't have the money. The United States of America
Speaker 1: is insanely wealthy with an incredible economy, and we are
Speaker 1: so blessed to live here, but we don't have the
Speaker 1: money we're spending. Now. It does not exist, and it's
Speaker 1: been this way. This is not a recent thing. This
Speaker 1: is not even a Democrat thing, Republican thing. This is
Speaker 1: how the government has operated since we started putting in
Speaker 1: these crazy entitlement programs that have only grown and ever
Speaker 1: since they've gotten here, the debt is just ballooned and
Speaker 1: ballooned and ballooned and ballooned and ballooned with no end
Speaker 1: in sight. And I say no end in sight, because
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, on just this little two minute rant,
Speaker 1: I will show up tomorrow and there will be one
Speaker 1: hundred angry emails screaming at me about don't touch my
Speaker 1: Social Security I guarantee it. Now, that's me. I'm a
Speaker 1: jerk radio host. It won't bother me. What if I'm
Speaker 1: a congressman. You know what those emails translate to, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lose my next election. I'm gonna keep my spot
Speaker 1: in the House. I'm wanna keep my seat in the
Speaker 1: United States Senate. Therefore, the people with the power to
Speaker 1: do if reforms of any kind, I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: cutting people off. If the people with the power to
Speaker 1: do reforms of any kind will not do reforms because
Speaker 1: the American people don't want them. They don't want reform.
Speaker 1: There's just no outcry for it. None, nobody, No one
Speaker 1: loses their seat in the House of Representatives or the
Speaker 1: Senate for spending too much money. I have been passionately
Speaker 1: following politics for more than two decades. I have never
Speaker 1: seen somebody lose a primary because they spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money. Doesn't happen. It's not something that drives people
Speaker 1: to the polls. So that that's one of the macro things.
Speaker 1: Over a long period of time, the debt continues to grow.
Speaker 1: We are having to pay for the interest, and that
Speaker 1: is driving up prices. It is. It is a huge
Speaker 1: driver of prices. Combine the money printing, which we can
Speaker 1: get two more. Combine that, well, the money printing has
Speaker 1: given you inflation of This is a big reason prices
Speaker 1: have gone up. Now we'll talk about the other stuff
Speaker 1: in a very frank way. Is the Jesse Kelly show.
Speaker 1: Hey Thursday, so we are having in case you just
Speaker 1: now joined us. I got a bunch of emails about
Speaker 1: life is unaffordable and we're having a long talk. It's
Speaker 1: a good day to do it about why So on
Speaker 1: a macro level, the debt, the debt is piling up.
Speaker 1: It is piling up, and the main drivers of it. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't care about your whining or yelling. I can
Speaker 1: read math. I can read a pie chart. The main
Speaker 1: drivers are medicare, medicaid, social security in the military. That
Speaker 1: is roughly roughly seventy to seventy five percent of what
Speaker 1: we spend money on. That's where the money is going.
Speaker 1: You could cut off every dime of foreign aid and
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket on the
Speaker 1: debt of this country. That's not me, that's math. You
Speaker 1: don't like it too bad? So sad, that's what it
Speaker 1: looks like. And because the debt is increasing, the interest
Speaker 1: on the debt is increasing, the money printing continues to increase,
Speaker 1: and as that increases the value of your dollar, and
Speaker 1: my dollar goes downhill. Now, why doesn't someone do something
Speaker 1: about it? Because I just told you basic math, and
Speaker 1: everyone knows I'm an idiot. I don't even have a degree.
Speaker 1: I went to community college and I can even read
Speaker 1: a pie chart. So why doesn't someone do something about it?
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Trump do something about it? Why isn't the
Speaker 1: House do something about it? Why doesn't the Senate do
Speaker 1: something about it? Well, you know what, You'll have to
Speaker 1: forgive me, but I'm a bit of an expert on
Speaker 1: this subject. You know why, because I ran for Congress.
Speaker 1: When I got out of the Marine Corps, I got
Speaker 1: super into politics, got super mad, and I ran for
Speaker 1: the United States House of Representatives. And I ran into
Speaker 1: primary against some establishment guy and beat the doors off
Speaker 1: of him. And then I squared off against the Democrat
Speaker 1: Gabrielle Gifford's and almost beat her four thousand votes. They
Speaker 1: had to recount it for a week. I was that
Speaker 1: close to being in Congress. And do you know why
Speaker 1: I didn't get to Congress? What happened beyond my brash style?
Speaker 1: What was the problem. Well, do you know what the
Speaker 1: older people of southern Arizona were seeing every time sat
Speaker 1: down after dinner and turned on the news. Do you
Speaker 1: want to know where those four thousand votes went? Here's
Speaker 1: where they went.
Speaker 2: I'm Noel Hatfield from Tucson, Arizona. I work in the
Speaker 2: construction business. I got my first construction job when I
Speaker 2: was fifteen years old. Been paying into Medicare every paycheck
Speaker 2: since then, for over the last thirty seven plus years.
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly said that over time he's going to get
Speaker 2: rid of Medicare. I don't think it's right for Jesse
Speaker 2: Kelly and people to decide that. I don't get my
Speaker 2: Medicare that I've been paying.
Speaker 1: For so effective it's shaved off enough order Republican votes.
Speaker 1: Gabrielle Gifford's went right back to Congress. I went back
Speaker 1: to work in construction, not complaining. By the way, greatest
Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to me. I'm not bitter about it.
Speaker 1: You couldn't pay me enough to go to Congress. But
Speaker 1: now tell me the person in Washington, d C. Republican
Speaker 1: or Democrat, who's going to step on that third reel,
Speaker 1: who is it going to be, who is going to
Speaker 1: guarantee an election loss in their next election by touching it?
Speaker 1: It won't be touched. So again, that was a long,
Speaker 1: long way of saying, on a long term, on a
Speaker 1: long term scale, the debt is not something that's going
Speaker 1: to stop growing. It's just not there's no public appetite
Speaker 1: for it. And most people, I know you already understand
Speaker 1: this stuff, but most people who don't pay attention to politics,
Speaker 1: they don't even get it. They don't understand that it's
Speaker 1: not just there's not corporate greed, or it's not justice,
Speaker 1: or it's not just that there are actual fiscal reasons
Speaker 1: why the prices of everything have gone up for so long. Now,
Speaker 1: that was the long term stuff, the money printing, the
Speaker 1: national dat the short term stuff. Of course you already know,
Speaker 1: we talked about it. You don't ever stop your economy
Speaker 1: under any circumstances. It's not just that well COVID didn't
Speaker 1: turn out to be that bat No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no. I don't care if Russia starts flying
Speaker 1: over America dropping nuclear bombs on every single city. You
Speaker 1: never look at your economy and say stop. Parts of
Speaker 1: it will stop. Inevitably if you get a nuclear bomb
Speaker 1: or a virus, that's just inevitable. Businesses will close, we
Speaker 1: won't get people showing up to work. That parts will stop.
Speaker 1: There will be economic disruptions. But to have the government
Speaker 1: order it to stop, it's a catastrophe. And after the
Speaker 1: government ordered it to stop, they realized the gears are
Speaker 1: grinding to a halt. What do we do? And so
Speaker 1: the government did the worst possible thing they could have done.
Speaker 1: They went to the famous money printer, and they, in
Speaker 1: rapid succession, printed seven plus trillion dollars in unbacked currency
Speaker 1: and injected it into the economy to try to keep
Speaker 1: those gears moving, to try to keep the economy alive,
Speaker 1: really to try to keep the economic head above water.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm sorry, but I have to
Speaker 1: be that guy. The entire time, I was sitting here
Speaker 1: behind this microphone screaming until I lost my voice that
Speaker 1: we were dooming this country and dooming generations for years
Speaker 1: by stopping an economy and printing money. I yelled and
Speaker 1: yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled. And by the way,
Speaker 1: those yells went up to the very highest level. I
Speaker 1: know because I've seen a picture of them sitting on
Speaker 1: the resolute desk in the White House, in the Oval Office.
Speaker 1: But it happened. And we can't put that genie back
Speaker 1: in the lamp for the rest of it because after
Speaker 1: that they installed Joe Biden. Hang is the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show on a magnificent Thursday. Do not forget tomorrow is
Speaker 1: ask doctor Jesse Friday. Get all your questions emailed in
Speaker 1: right now to Jesseatjessekellyshow dot com. So the money printing,
Speaker 1: it's bad, it's been bad. It really got turned into
Speaker 1: overdrive during COVID. And this is not exactly secret stuff
Speaker 1: that people don't know that they talk about it publicly.
Speaker 1: This is a man by the name of Jared Bernstein.
Speaker 1: You want to hear what we were doing, Well, here's
Speaker 1: what we were doing.
Speaker 3: The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print.
Speaker 1: Our own money. Why does the government even borrow? Well?
Speaker 3: The uh so, the I mean again, some of this
Speaker 3: stuff gets some of the language that some of the
Speaker 3: language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government
Speaker 3: definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money. Which
Speaker 3: is why the government definitely prints money. And then it
Speaker 3: lends that money by selling bonds.
Speaker 1: Is that what they do?
Speaker 3: They they Yeah, they.
Speaker 1: Sell bonds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they sell bonds, right, since they sell bonds and
Speaker 3: people buy the bonds and lend them the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So a lot of times, a lot of times, at
Speaker 3: least to my year with MMT, the language and the
Speaker 3: concepts can be unnecessarily confusing.
Speaker 1: But that's Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Economic Council. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jerome Powe, you know big cheese at the Fed. Jerome Powell,
Speaker 1: here's who Hey, hey, Jerome, what'd you do during COVID
Speaker 1: when we stop the economy simply flood the system with money?
Speaker 4: Yes, we did. That's another way to think about it.
Speaker 1: We did, Where does it come from? Do you just
Speaker 1: print it?
Speaker 4: We print it digitally, so we you know, we as
Speaker 4: a central bank, we have the ability to create money digitally,
Speaker 4: and we do that by buying treasury bills or or
Speaker 4: bonds or other government guaranteed securities, and that actually increases
Speaker 4: the money supply. We also print actual currency and we
Speaker 4: distribute that to the Federal Reserve Bank.
Speaker 1: There it is now economics one oh one. I mean,
Speaker 1: anybody can tell you this. It's not exactly like I'm
Speaker 1: breaking it's it's not like this. It's breaking news from
Speaker 1: journalists Jesse. It's journalist Jesse. When you print unpacked currency,
Speaker 1: every dollar you print will be inflationary. It will cause
Speaker 1: the value of the dollar to go down. Now, and
Speaker 1: an economy as big as ours, with all this money
Speaker 1: flowing to and fro, are you going to notice if
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve prince a dollar unbacked, of course you're
Speaker 1: not a billion dollars even of course you're not. When
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve in a short period of time prince
Speaker 1: seven plus trillion dollars, you are going to have inflation.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say forever, because I don't want
Speaker 1: it to be disheartening, but you're going to have inflation
Speaker 1: for as long as you're alive, and you're gonna feel it.
Speaker 1: And I looked, Hey, this was me. I was telling
Speaker 1: you this back then. I was yelling, this is what
Speaker 1: it was. That's what I said. Why why inflation? Why
Speaker 1: six point eight percent? Why are we looking at more
Speaker 1: inflation still? Why are working people hurting? We made that
Speaker 1: decision when coronavirus got here, and as a nation, we panicked.
Speaker 1: And I understand. I do understand about the pylon that
Speaker 1: came after. I understand Democrat mayors and governors purposely torpedoed
Speaker 1: their own economies and in order to hurt Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: reelection chances. I get that. How horrible we're Republicans, though,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I blame I hold people accountable, Republicans and Democrats.
Speaker 1: No mayor, no governor has the authority to tell you your
Speaker 1: job isn't essential. We as a nation decided we were
Speaker 1: going to behave like the communist Chinese when we got sick.
Speaker 1: We were just gonna stop an economy and then up.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I.
Speaker 5: Guess I didn't see this coming, but I guess people
Speaker 5: do have to pay bills. Let's start, let's start passing
Speaker 5: massive spending bills through Congress and we'll just hand out
Speaker 5: government checks.
Speaker 1: That'll fix it, right, guys. Oh no, oh, it looks
Speaker 1: like we're still hurting from stopping the economy. Oh, I
Speaker 1: have an eye. I have an idea.
Speaker 6: Everyone, Let's print trillions of dollars trillions, and we'll just
Speaker 6: check it at the economy like a monkey throw and
Speaker 6: it's poop. And then two years later, I'm supposed to
Speaker 6: look at inflation numbers and.
Speaker 1: Go, oh dang, how'd that happen? Headline? Eighty percent of
Speaker 1: all US dollars in existence were printed in the last
Speaker 1: twenty two months. That this headline's from twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: By the way, from four trillion in January of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty trillion in October of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: I I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
Speaker 1: but you can't put that toothpaste back in the tube.
Speaker 1: You can't unprint it. It's not possible. And look, it
Speaker 1: doesn't do any good to go back and say you
Speaker 1: were right or I was right. It's done. Prices aren't
Speaker 1: going back down to pre COVID levels because of that. Now,
Speaker 1: talk about making a bad situation worse. The house was
Speaker 1: already on fire, and then they stole an election and
Speaker 1: installed Joe Biden. They stole an election, they installed Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Now here's the devastating It was a devastating one two
Speaker 1: punch of installing Joe Biden because you had two separate
Speaker 1: things going on that were they're the same, but they're separate.
Speaker 1: The first thing is this, obviously, Joe Biden didn't run
Speaker 1: the country. You know this by now. It was the
Speaker 1: communists around him who ran the country. And these were
Speaker 1: not run of the mill Democrats. These were the Anita
Speaker 1: Dunn types, the Leisa Monaco types. These were the real
Speaker 1: true died in the wool communists who want to burn
Speaker 1: the country down. So while the house was on fire
Speaker 1: with all the money printing and everything else, then you
Speaker 1: handed the house over to the arsonist. So that was bad.
Speaker 1: Combine that with this. What is the Democrat Party. We've
Speaker 1: described it a million times on this show. It's the
Speaker 1: largest criminal network in the history of the planet, the
Speaker 1: largest one in the history of the planet. Wherever they
Speaker 1: are elected, they will work with their friends, their political allies,
Speaker 1: to steal from the treasury and the Biden administration started
Speaker 1: things like his Infrastructure Bill and everything else. I remember
Speaker 1: the Inflation Reduction Act, which is honest, it's borderline criminal
Speaker 1: that they called it. That had nothing to do with inflation,
Speaker 1: was a gigantic handout to all his friends and allies.
Speaker 1: So with the house on fire, we then stole an
Speaker 1: election and brought in an arsonist and provided him with
Speaker 1: cans of gasoline and matches. Now it gets really bad.
Speaker 1: Then you get this. They start attacking the thing that
Speaker 1: keeps prices down or makes prices high. Energy because they're
Speaker 1: evil communists and because their political allies make solar panels
Speaker 1: and don't drill for oil. They started cutting off oil
Speaker 1: at the knees, cutting off coal at the knees, everywhere
Speaker 1: they went, driving up the cost of energy. They started
Speaker 1: to get worried because gas prices went really high, and
Speaker 1: if gas prices are high, you're going to lose an election.
Speaker 1: That's just an electoral fact in the United States of America.
Speaker 1: Then they turned around and drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't lose as many seats in the midterms.
Speaker 1: It's bad, and it contributed to inflation.
Speaker 4: It did.
Speaker 1: Now we'll fast forward past that. I know you were
Speaker 1: sitting there nodding in agreement. Now we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: latest move we pulled and it hurt too, and then
Speaker 1: I'll get back to the email and we'll actually have
Speaker 1: a talk with these emails and the way things people
Speaker 1: were hurting and some people were saying, suck it up,
Speaker 1: and some people were saying, you're hurting it. So let's
Speaker 1: just have it out Before we do that, I want
Speaker 1: to read you this really quickly. Bronco. After returning from Japan,
Speaker 1: a Japanese archery champion, proud of you, buddy, defeating the
Speaker 1: dirty and short Italian family in my group and upholding
Speaker 1: America's honor and glory. I finally switched to puretok. I
Speaker 1: never had to repeat myself. I was speaking with Americans
Speaker 1: and we understood each other, no phonetically spelling my entire
Speaker 1: name or email. It was glorious, yet sad because it
Speaker 1: felt weird. After dealing with Click Click for a decade,
Speaker 1: great company, great people, proud to be a customer. I
Speaker 1: told them you sent me to have a great weekend
Speaker 1: and God speech over the Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful Thursday, Just remember, if you miss any part of
Speaker 1: the show, you can download at iHeart, Spotify iTunes. Now,
Speaker 1: let's wrap up this talk because the emails came in
Speaker 1: and I do want to read them. Jesse, I'm disgusted
Speaker 1: by the rhetoric. My wife and I did everything right.
Speaker 1: They can't afford anything, Okay, So it's not that there's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do. First of all, let's do remember
Speaker 1: this that Trump he did finally stop the runaway inflation,
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden had poured the gasoline on. To Trump's credit,
Speaker 1: we can do that. That's one two energy. I know
Speaker 1: it sounds kind of dumb, but it's not. Believe me.
Speaker 1: Affordable energy is the thing that makes everything affordable, and
Speaker 1: we have endless amounts of it here. Keep cutting red tape,
Speaker 1: drilling for oil, coal, nuclear. That will help get prices down.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: I'm not promising you that everything's going back, because it's
Speaker 1: never gone going back, but that will help get prices down.
Speaker 1: We can get rid of some freaking taxes. That would
Speaker 1: be nice. Probably most doable and most important is we
Speaker 1: can deport one hundred million foreigners so you're not competing
Speaker 1: with the whole continent of Asia when you're trying to
Speaker 1: buy a house, when you're trying to get a job,
Speaker 1: when you're trying to get healthcare that will drastically reduce
Speaker 1: the costs in this country. There are things we can do,
Speaker 1: and again I want to stress Trump is at least
Speaker 1: working on working towards a lot of these things. My
Speaker 1: frustration with the Trump administration on the subject of affordability,
Speaker 1: and I guess this applies to a lot of podcasters
Speaker 1: and TV people on the right. It's not what they're doing,
Speaker 1: it's what they're saying. Donald Trump is doing good things.
Speaker 1: Are some things I disagree with, but when it comes
Speaker 1: to inflation and affordability, he's doing a lot of really
Speaker 1: good things. The problem is, I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: he needs to let Jdvans handle the messaging on this issue.
Speaker 1: He does, he does. Trump talks like that. You know,
Speaker 1: they talk about costs.
Speaker 7: I inherited very very high costs, and they're all coming
Speaker 7: down now, the food, the groceries, it's all coming down.
Speaker 7: We've done a great job. You know, I think we
Speaker 7: should be given an eight plus on the economy.
Speaker 1: But okay, that's awful, no defense of it, that's awful messaging. JD.
Speaker 1: Vance sat down with Laura Ingram. This is how we
Speaker 1: talk about it.
Speaker 8: For a lot of Americans look at this rising tide
Speaker 8: of socialism and say, how did we get here. We
Speaker 8: got here by forty years of bipartisan leaders selling our
Speaker 8: industrial base to foreign countries, allowing low wage immigrants to
Speaker 8: come in and compete with a Americans for jobs. By
Speaker 8: destroying the foundation of the middle class, that's how you
Speaker 8: got socialism.
Speaker 1: How you fix that.
Speaker 8: Problem is by doubling down on Donald Trump's economic nationalism.
Speaker 1: Outstanding more jd Events actually.
Speaker 8: Think that if these people, if the socialists cared about
Speaker 8: working class Americans, they would help us in their fraud efforts.
Speaker 1: But they don't.
Speaker 8: What they actually care about is illegal aliens and allowing
Speaker 8: illegal aliens to enrich themselves. That has always been the
Speaker 8: gambit of these limousines socialists. Again, that's why they do well,
Speaker 8: not among immigrant communities that have assimilated, that are entrepreneurs
Speaker 8: that are doing well in the United States of America.
Speaker 8: They're doing the best among the communities where you see
Speaker 8: the highest fraud levels, and they're doing the best among
Speaker 8: affluent white liberals.
Speaker 1: That's outstanding messaging. Finally, he went on Joe Rogan. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is just this is so good. We need to
Speaker 1: be pounding this.
Speaker 8: Does the socialism thing scare me?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 8: Is it the wrong solution yet? But one thing I
Speaker 8: try to persuade my fellow Republicans of is socialism is
Speaker 8: the alternative. If we don't have a pathway to give
Speaker 8: people a sense that the system is not rigged and
Speaker 8: that the American dream is attainable, that's like our job.
Speaker 1: That's what we have to do.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying Rome was built in a day. It's
Speaker 8: not going to be easy to undo some of these
Speaker 8: economic trends. But man, we ran the experiment. We ran
Speaker 8: the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, of
Speaker 8: becoming a services and finance economy and allowing Wall Street
Speaker 8: to come in and buy every asset of modern life
Speaker 8: and turn it into an investible line goes up asset.
Speaker 8: And what is that done? It's created a generation of
Speaker 8: kids who kind of are attracted to socialism. We have
Speaker 8: to fix that problem.
Speaker 9: Well, kids that do feel And you're correct, and I
Speaker 9: agree with you. The system is rigged. Kids feel like
Speaker 9: there are no options other than to burn it down. Yes,
Speaker 9: and that's the problem. And because they feel very frustrated.
Speaker 8: And this is part of our job, is to provide
Speaker 8: an option that isn't burn it down, but is not
Speaker 8: just doing the same things that we've done.
Speaker 1: It's outstanding. We are doing some good things. Is everything perfect? No,
Speaker 1: We're doing some good things, though, and that needs to
Speaker 1: be the GOP messaging between now and November. And the
Speaker 1: reason I've been so emphatic about this is because not
Speaker 1: just I know people are hurting. I've been talking about
Speaker 1: affordability since COVID. I didn't come to this yesterday. I
Speaker 1: didn't come to this because everyone else is arguing about
Speaker 1: it right now. You know, I've been on this for
Speaker 1: a very long time. People are hurting, and if they're
Speaker 1: hurting at the kitchen table, then we are going to
Speaker 1: get freaking massacred in November. And that matters a lot
Speaker 1: to me. I don't want to get massacred. I want
Speaker 1: to keep the deportations rolling. I want to keep things rolling.
Speaker 1: I want good things to continue to happen. I don't
Speaker 1: want the country handed back to the animals. I don't
Speaker 1: want these people running America. That's why I'm desperate to
Speaker 1: get the message you can run, give me sort of
Speaker 1: a true false on these Abolish the sentence true. Okay,
Speaker 1: replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them. Yep, okay,
Speaker 1: you get it. She's crazy. Remember doing COVID. Remember when
Speaker 1: they started to say just go home, shut up and
Speaker 1: go home. A lot of people on the radio and
Speaker 1: TV on the right were saying the same thing, quit
Speaker 1: being selfish, go home because they didn't miss a paycheck.
Speaker 1: The reason you're seeing some of that from people on
Speaker 1: the right right now, it's the exact same reason. If
Speaker 1: you're well off enough, you're still buying the same stuff
Speaker 1: at the grocery store, still driving the same car, You're
Speaker 1: going to the same vacation spots? Does it cost and
Speaker 1: you more? Sure? But if you're well off enough, it
Speaker 1: doesn't affect your daily life. But I I've lived the
Speaker 1: other side of that, and let me tell you what.
Speaker 1: It sucks the life out of you. Life lots of
Speaker 1: time sucks when you can't get ahead. And they don't
Speaker 1: want to hear that the economy is an a plus.
Speaker 1: They want to hear that you're working on it, that
Speaker 1: you've got a plan. That's what they want to hear.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll get to some other stuff. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to this guy who says, you know,
Speaker 1: suck it up and things like that. Hang on,
