Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,
Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I
Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy.
Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and
Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.
Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,
Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.
Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again.
Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,
Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter
Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

Speaker 1: Jesse Friday. Can you feel it in the air? We
Speaker 1: need to talk about drugs. Hang on, we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: It's that. It'll be in a second. We have the
Speaker 1: governor of Nebraska coming on today. I just want to
Speaker 1: point out Jewish producer Chris and I about like two
Speaker 1: years ago we were doing a seven to eight o'clock
Speaker 1: at night show a nobody listened to, and now we
Speaker 1: have governors in the country calling and asking to come
Speaker 1: on the show. Sweet, we have no business being here
Speaker 1: at all. These asked Doctor Jesse questions are all over
Speaker 1: the map. Obviously, we have important ones like who would
Speaker 1: win in a fight? Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday or Clint Eastwood,
Speaker 1: what Chris. But it also is we have some heavy
Speaker 1: ones today. There's a heavy marriage question today. Lady has
Speaker 1: a real acts to grind with a hubby. We have
Speaker 1: a arranged marriage question. Guy wants to know about teaching
Speaker 1: his kids something. Someone else wants to talk about Disney.
Speaker 1: Somebody's moving their family. It is all over the map. Politics, history, everything.
Speaker 1: It's going to be. This is gonna be our best
Speaker 1: day ever because I'm so excited. But first let's talk
Speaker 1: about drugs specifically, let's talk about the first opium Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of the opium Wars? Some people, I
Speaker 1: would guess half the population has maybe heard of them.
Speaker 1: You don't really know much about them, you don't care
Speaker 1: that much about them. Fascinating, fascinating things. It's good a China.
Speaker 1: Understand that China at this point, we're in the eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds and China by now it's it's over a
Speaker 1: thousand years old civilization wise, and they have a lot
Speaker 1: to be proud of. I mean, from their technology and
Speaker 1: science into the cleanliness of their people. They had mastered
Speaker 1: water sanitation and their beautiful castles. And when I say China,
Speaker 1: you're going to naturally sneer because you think of the
Speaker 1: dirty communist Chinese scum that run China today. But if
Speaker 1: they weren't communists, I would go to China every year
Speaker 1: just for the history there. It's endless. They're the cool
Speaker 1: stuff that happened. But as it is now, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to spend a time on those Sorry communists but
Speaker 1: you need to know this is prior to MoU and
Speaker 1: communists and all and communism and all that stuff. And
Speaker 1: they have a lot to be proud of. They know
Speaker 1: they have a lot to be proud of. Remember this,
Speaker 1: The history of the world is prejudice of some kind,
Speaker 1: because every single human being, you included, holds some kind
Speaker 1: of prejudice in your heart. Whatever the case, you might
Speaker 1: be prejudice against black people, white people, Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Speaker 1: to all people, short people, fat people, Italians sorry, sorry, Canadians,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. You because of your life
Speaker 1: experiences and because of how you were raised, you hold
Speaker 1: some prejudice. That's not because you're a bad person. It's
Speaker 1: because you're a human being. China, they thought Chinese people
Speaker 1: were flat out better than everyone else. And they thought
Speaker 1: everyone else, and I mean the most modern nations on
Speaker 1: Earth were barbarians. The star story today is China dealing
Speaker 1: with Great Britain, who is by now at this point
Speaker 1: in the story, unquestionably the greatest empire on Earth. There's
Speaker 1: not even a close second. Right now. In China, they
Speaker 1: thought the British were these uncouth barbarians. To China, they
Speaker 1: looked at the Brits and thought, who are these Neanderthals.
Speaker 1: I can't believe they can feed themselves. That's how arrogant
Speaker 1: China was. Now. In their defense, it wasn't without reason.
Speaker 1: They had a civilization that predated ancient Rome and had
Speaker 1: been great for so long. They had been so good
Speaker 1: for so long, they kind of had a right to think,
Speaker 1: maybe we are just superior and everyone else is lower
Speaker 1: than dirt. But they had something that was really really
Speaker 1: hurting them. And this does happen from time to time.
Speaker 1: Because they thought they were so superior, they chose to
Speaker 1: become an extremely insular nation. They didn't want to trade
Speaker 1: with you. They didn't want to talk with you. They
Speaker 1: didn't want to know what you were doing. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to hear about your new fangled technology. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to hear about these trade goods. Why would we
Speaker 1: have to deal with you? We are China, you're a barbarian,
Speaker 1: we are we are superior. Well, the problem with that
Speaker 1: way of thinking is, I mean, how often do we
Speaker 1: talk about bubbles on this show? Avoid being in one?
Speaker 1: People who get in one get in serious trouble. This
Speaker 1: applies to nations too. China had been so great, so
Speaker 1: advanced for so long and so insular for so long,
Speaker 1: they didn't realize the world was advancing rapidly technology wise,
Speaker 1: industrial wise. They weren't superior anymore. Oh, they had been
Speaker 1: for a long time. Now they were flat out backwards.
Speaker 1: And not only are they backwards, they're backwards and they
Speaker 1: have things that the rest of the world wants. You
Speaker 1: really really don't want to be the tiny tribe that's
Speaker 1: using bows and arrows sitting on top of a gold
Speaker 1: mine that never works well at all. Now, in China's case,
Speaker 1: it wasn't gold, but it was silk. The world was
Speaker 1: dying for this stuff, and it was tea. Don't make
Speaker 1: fun of that. I know you don't drink much tea,
Speaker 1: probably because you're a god fearing American who drinks coffee
Speaker 1: like those dirty Brits. But just know this was not
Speaker 1: a small thing for Britain. Tea was huge for them,
Speaker 1: and they had taxed it because it was so big there.
Speaker 1: They had taxed tea at one hundred percent. Te funded
Speaker 1: the British government funded the British government. It was not
Speaker 1: a small thing. And dever, getting that from China as well.
Speaker 1: Kind of here was the trade situation because again, China
Speaker 1: was so insular. Oh okay, you can, you can come
Speaker 1: and remember this is the Team dynasty. They have an
Speaker 1: emperor and this is going to hurt them too. He
Speaker 1: is basically a god to them and considers himself to
Speaker 1: be a god and considers himself to be superior to
Speaker 1: everyone else on the planet like me. Anyway, what Chris, anyway,
Speaker 1: the trade situation of this, Oh okay, Britain, you would
Speaker 1: like our tea. Okay, that's fine, that's fine. You can
Speaker 1: use exactly one port. You know, China as all the
Speaker 1: otacy right there on the ocean. You can use one
Speaker 1: port Britain. You can only use it for part of
Speaker 1: the year. And when you come to our port, we're
Speaker 1: not going to sell anything back to you. You bring
Speaker 1: me money and I'll give ut. Now, I have to
Speaker 1: explain something about old trade. That's going to sound boring
Speaker 1: in detail, but it does matter a lot to our story,
Speaker 1: especially back then, I mean then in now, but especially
Speaker 1: back then. What you never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do was have a ship or a
Speaker 1: wagon empty because it took too much time and you're
Speaker 1: cutting your profits in half. The way world trade worked was.
Speaker 1: I'm going to load up a bunch of cotton on
Speaker 1: my sailing vessel, and I'm going to sail it over
Speaker 1: to Britain who wanted said cotton. And once I get there,
Speaker 1: and all this is pre arranged, you are then going
Speaker 1: to load me up with goods that I will turn
Speaker 1: around and take right back to the place where I
Speaker 1: got the cotton. That's how it worked. That's the only
Speaker 1: way you made a profit. You're not making a profit
Speaker 1: on one way. In fact, you're losing money. You need
Speaker 1: both ways in order to turn a profit at all.
Speaker 1: Britain was not getting this. Britain was sending back a
Speaker 1: bunch of empty ships. Bring me your silver, said China.
Speaker 1: We'll sell you some tea and then run on about
Speaker 1: your way. We're not doing really trade with you. We'll
Speaker 1: sell you a little tea, but that's all. This was
Speaker 1: always going to be a temporary situation. How temporary you're
Speaker 1: about to find out, Eden pure thunderstorm has changed my life,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say it's saved my life. Even
Speaker 1: though it does kill bacteria, it does kill viruses, It
Speaker 1: kills mold and prevents the spread of mold and mildew.
Speaker 1: It takes odors out of the air. But when I
Speaker 1: say it's changed my life, this is what I mean.
Speaker 1: I used to wake up in the morning and my
Speaker 1: eyes would feel like sandpaper. That's what got me with
Speaker 1: the allergies. It wasn't as much the sneezing and the
Speaker 1: running nose and stuff like that. My eyes used to
Speaker 1: drive me nuts. I'd tear through eyedrops by the gallon.
Speaker 1: I don't use eyedrops anymore. I wake up now and
Speaker 1: my eyes feel good. I didn't even know what it
Speaker 1: was like to have your eyes feel good until I
Speaker 1: got an Eden Pure thunderstorm. In fact, I got three
Speaker 1: of them. Go to Eden pure deals dot com. That's
Speaker 1: Eden pure deals dot Com used to code Jesse at
Speaker 1: checkout for ten bucks off Jesse Kelly backs in. Now
Speaker 1: here's what drives the driver in the states that are affected.
Speaker 1: Here's what that you can do the drivers. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh when
Speaker 1: I come back, But whenever you play those Joe bidenmines,
Speaker 1: all I can think to myself as gosh, we are
Speaker 1: so screwed to play it again, Chris. Now here's what
Speaker 1: drives the driver in the states that are affected. Here's
Speaker 1: what that you can do the drivers. Oh gosh, that's
Speaker 1: the leader of the free world. All right, stop, I'm crying,
Speaker 1: all right, And it's the Jesse Kelly Show eight seven
Speaker 1: seven three seven seven four three seven three Jesse at
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show dot Com. We have a governor coming
Speaker 1: on in a little while, Governor of Nebraska. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be sweet. These asked doctor Jesse questions are heavy. Somebody
Speaker 1: wants to know do I leave my communist area when
Speaker 1: I have my family here? I want my kids out,
Speaker 1: but I don't want so we're gonna get to that.
Speaker 1: We have some really, really really good questions today. Y'all
Speaker 1: brought it today. But first I have to finish my
Speaker 1: story about the First Opium War. The situation is not
Speaker 1: going to be a long lasting one. China selling tea
Speaker 1: but not loading up these ships and taking anything back. Now.
Speaker 1: I've done shows on this before, and I'll do another
Speaker 1: show in the past. There's never been anything like I mean,
Speaker 1: if there is, I don't know about it. There's never
Speaker 1: been anything like the East India Company. What this was
Speaker 1: was a quote private company. It was a private company.
Speaker 1: Granted it had a real partnership with the British government.
Speaker 1: It was stocked with members of the British aristocracy. But
Speaker 1: this is a private country company. I needed to think
Speaker 1: about this like you think about Amazon. Think about this
Speaker 1: like you think about Amazon. They decided to rule the
Speaker 1: Indian Ocean. They had a fleet. They took over India.
Speaker 1: And what I say took over India, I mean governed
Speaker 1: the country. They printed their own money, they had their
Speaker 1: own military. This is a private company but also kind
Speaker 1: of part of Britain. I mean it's a British company,
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But they're in a money
Speaker 1: trunch at this point in time in our story. Why well,
Speaker 1: that whole taking over India thing, Yeah, that was nice,
Speaker 1: but wars are absurdly expensive. That's why nations only do
Speaker 1: it and not private companies. The East India Company was
Speaker 1: in a money crunch. We have now reached the point
Speaker 1: in our story where China is in serious trouble because
Speaker 1: the East India Company they take a look over there
Speaker 1: East and say, oh oh, that'll solve our money crunch.
Speaker 1: Right now, how are they going to solve the money crunch?
Speaker 1: The poppy plant. I'm not going to bore you with
Speaker 1: all the details on the poppy plant, how they get
Speaker 1: opium from it. You know, you have to cut the
Speaker 1: pod and dry it and do all these other things.
Speaker 1: But just know this, it is a plant. It has
Speaker 1: oh they get opium from it. And all you need
Speaker 1: to know about that is one, it's going to get
Speaker 1: you very high in feeling very very good. In two,
Speaker 1: you're going to get addicted to it, and it's going
Speaker 1: to ruin your life. You really do not want to
Speaker 1: dabble in that world. We have a we have an
Speaker 1: opium crisis and opioid crisis, I should call it here
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, A big one. I
Speaker 1: mean big one. They think it's less than one percent,
Speaker 1: but it is certainly a significant portion of our population
Speaker 1: dying fent and al. All this sudden. It's not really
Speaker 1: a heavily reported story. We have a fraction of the problem.
Speaker 1: China was about to have. Britain's plan, the East India
Speaker 1: Company's plan was this, Okay, these Chinese don't want to
Speaker 1: sell us goods. Here's what we're gonna do. We're going
Speaker 1: to grow a bunch of these poppy plants. We are
Speaker 1: then going to smuggle these drugs into China and we're
Speaker 1: gonna get their population hooked on opium. We're gonna make
Speaker 1: a fortune selling these people opium and at the same
Speaker 1: time maybe get some benefits of their society turning into
Speaker 1: a bunch of mushheads. And it starts to work like
Speaker 1: a charm. Britain, like most drug dealers, starts out doing
Speaker 1: this the smart controlled way, because it's really the East
Speaker 1: India Company. And when I say smart controlled way, this
Speaker 1: is what I mean. Opium is not cheap and opium,
Speaker 1: like I said, it destroys your motivation then and now
Speaker 1: any opioids, that's just what they do. They destroy your motivation.
Speaker 1: And look, I can believe me. This is not me.
Speaker 1: I'm not your father, This is not me judging you
Speaker 1: for that time you smoked a jay in college. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing that. I'm talking about real serious opioid addiction.
Speaker 1: It just destroys your motivation. But anyway, because it's expensive
Speaker 1: and because it destroys your motivation, it was mainly something
Speaker 1: for the rich in the beginning, and that's what the
Speaker 1: East India Company wanted. They weren't out to destroy the poor.
Speaker 1: They were out to give the rich people in China
Speaker 1: a new vice. You don't need motivation. You have wealth
Speaker 1: and servants and everything else. You have big parties. You know,
Speaker 1: Chinese people like parties, like everyone else says parties. Why
Speaker 1: don't you have a big party with your fellow rich
Speaker 1: friends and spout Chinese chicks and why don't you? Why
Speaker 1: don't we smoke a little opium, get littleha? I feel
Speaker 1: pretty good? Right? And so for a while it's fairly
Speaker 1: controlled and it's going okay, and Britain wants to take
Speaker 1: it slow because they really don't want the Chinese Emperor
Speaker 1: and his advisers to become aware of how big the
Speaker 1: problem is and what Britain is doing, because the Emperor
Speaker 1: is gonna get really, really mad. Two things happened that
Speaker 1: end up just totally screwing this entire thing. One, the
Speaker 1: Brits decide they're breaking up the East India Company's monopoly
Speaker 1: on this lucrative trade getting opium into China. Why does
Speaker 1: that matter? Well, remember all that control I just talked about.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're gonna bring you some opium, not a bunch,
Speaker 1: just to know. We'll keep the price high because we're
Speaker 1: not bringing it in in bulk. And this is just
Speaker 1: for the rich people. So it's not going to be
Speaker 1: a big deal, right, No, no big deal. Yeah, as
Speaker 1: soon as every other company gets ahold of it. What
Speaker 1: do you think would happen if there was a lucrative
Speaker 1: industry and now instead of one company control it, there
Speaker 1: are thirty. How many does it take for you to
Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, this is huge, I'm gonna get rich.
Speaker 1: So they just start importing it in bulk, driving the
Speaker 1: price down on it. As soon as the price gets
Speaker 1: driven down, you have now priced in the poor people
Speaker 1: and the peasants and the shop owners. And now you
Speaker 1: have a situation where mass quantities of the Chinese people
Speaker 1: are hooked on opium. It becomes such a part of
Speaker 1: their society. They start giving it to their babies. I'm
Speaker 1: not making that up just for pain. They start hooking
Speaker 1: people on this stuff from early early childhood. And so
Speaker 1: that happened. And the second thing that happened was this.
Speaker 1: You ever see those crime movies or read a crime
Speaker 1: book or a crime documentary, whether it be real life
Speaker 1: or fiction, do you ever do any of that about
Speaker 1: the drug dealer coming on up? You know, starts out
Speaker 1: usually steal and kills a couple of guys, trying to
Speaker 1: get trying to make a name for himself in the
Speaker 1: drug business, whatever it is, Mexican Cicario's whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And then eventually, because of his success, what happens. What
Speaker 1: happens universally real life, Big old fancy car, big old
Speaker 1: fancy jewels, big old fancy house, a bunch of bodyguards.
Speaker 1: You know what brings down crime bosses, gangsters. All the
Speaker 1: time they're rubbing it in law enforcement's face. Law enforcement
Speaker 1: doesn't know or doesn't care. And until you're the drug
Speaker 1: dealer Frank Lucas and you show up at a Muhammad
Speaker 1: Ali fight and you sit in the front row, and
Speaker 1: you wear a jacket that is worth two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Now you're on somebody's radar. Who is this guy? Why
Speaker 1: is he wearing a two hundred thousand dollars jacket? Soon
Speaker 1: have fun in prison? What tipped off the Chinese emperor
Speaker 1: that they had a problem? I will tell you. And
Speaker 1: then you're asked doctor Jesse questions next, Jake's mint chew
Speaker 1: will help you quit dipping? It? Will? It will get
Speaker 1: you through it. It's not easy. And because it's not easy,
Speaker 1: you need help. And I hate saying that because dudes
Speaker 1: don't like to think that way, right. I didn't when
Speaker 1: I was trying to quit. You know what I tried
Speaker 1: to do first. This is a first guy tried. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go cold turkey. No, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't need help. I'm a man. I can quit any
Speaker 1: time I want. Oh, look at gas station. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: just pull in and buy one more can. This will
Speaker 1: be the last one you need help. Jake's Mint Chew
Speaker 1: is here to help. It's tobacco free, it's nicotine free,
Speaker 1: it's even sugar free. And it's the way you're going
Speaker 1: to quit dipping because it will get you that transition
Speaker 1: off of it good at Jake's mint Chew dot Com.
Speaker 1: That's Jake's mint Chew dot Com. Used to promo code
Speaker 1: Jesse j E s s E at checkout that gets
Speaker 1: you twenty percent off. It is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three.
Speaker 1: We're talking opium war right now. We have Governor in
Speaker 1: Nebraska coming on today, and we have so many asked
Speaker 1: doctor Jesse questions. Some ladies vaccinated friends were quite unfriendly.
Speaker 1: We are going to talk about that here in a minute.
Speaker 1: So we wrap this thing up with China's starting to
Speaker 1: catch on to the problem, to the opioid problem. Their
Speaker 1: society's going downhill, their economy is not doing well, and
Speaker 1: their people seem to be lacking. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the British had opened up the trade of opium to
Speaker 1: other traders beyond just the East India Company, and they're
Speaker 1: pouring it into China. Is one two. The merchants, the
Speaker 1: Chinese merchants along the coastline who are helping smuggle this
Speaker 1: stuff in, are all of a sudden going from oh,
Speaker 1: a middle class merchant to Wow, that's a nice castle.
Speaker 1: You have their cheek. These guys are stupid wealthy because
Speaker 1: they are essentially the drug the drug runners, the cartels
Speaker 1: of their kind. They're facilitating the entire drug industry for
Speaker 1: their country and China. You're going to notice things like that.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, why are all of our merchants now
Speaker 1: wearing nothing but gold? I don't understand. Why is he
Speaker 1: driving the ancient version of a Chinese Bentley. He was
Speaker 1: just driving a priush yesterday. What happened? The society starts
Speaker 1: going downhill. The emperor calls in a man, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna call him Lynn. I'm not giving you these Chinese
Speaker 1: names because you'll get confused, and I'll get confused. And
Speaker 1: a note Sam right anyway, But he calls in a
Speaker 1: man Lynn, and he says, you will eradicate the opium
Speaker 1: trade in this country. Go get it done now. And
Speaker 1: when you have that kind of authority from the Emperor,
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want. You can do absolutely
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Oh and I should also mention the
Speaker 1: Emperor at this point writes a letter to the Queen
Speaker 1: of England and tells her and remember he thinks everyone
Speaker 1: on earth is beneath him, everybody. And he writes our
Speaker 1: letter and says, stop now, don't let this happen anymore.
Speaker 1: The Queen's advisors get a hold of the letter before
Speaker 1: it gets to the Queen and trash it so she
Speaker 1: never sees it, so so she doesn't know it exists.
Speaker 1: Just to keep the money going. Well, this taskmaster starts
Speaker 1: to clamp down. He starts to seize goods. He's rating
Speaker 1: factories that have opium in it, and he starts to
Speaker 1: board ships. He starts to board British ships. Now you're China,
Speaker 1: I understand you're in a bubble and you've got the
Speaker 1: thousand year dynasty and you're the best buddy. You are
Speaker 1: really unaware of how powerful the British are at this time.
Speaker 1: You don't just go storming on a British ship because
Speaker 1: you're aching for a war at this point, and tensions
Speaker 1: are now rising between the nations and little stupid incidents
Speaker 1: that can blow things up star rising. A couple of
Speaker 1: British sailors go on shore and get hammerhoused and beat
Speaker 1: some Chinese guy to death and it's just a drunken
Speaker 1: bar fight. It was not. I mean, I wasn't there,
Speaker 1: but it's not supposed to be anything big a drunken
Speaker 1: bar fight. They beat the guy to death, the British
Speaker 1: arrest the sailors. They don't let the Chinese arrest the sailors,
Speaker 1: and the British keep the sailors on their ships. Now
Speaker 1: the tension is way way up, and now the Emperor
Speaker 1: has had enough and he says, get these Brits out.
Speaker 1: And part of getting them out is the British merchant
Speaker 1: vessels and things like that that are here. A couple
Speaker 1: of British navy ships don't sell them any more food. Well,
Speaker 1: I want you to understand what a big deal that is.
Speaker 1: This isn't twenty twenty one, where if you take too
Speaker 1: many meals back to the local McDonald's you can just
Speaker 1: drive down to the local Jacket in the box and
Speaker 1: get your cheeseburger there. If you're on a ship, you
Speaker 1: have to constantly be resupplied with food and water. That's
Speaker 1: just life in the area where you're at decides you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to buy any more food. You're going to die.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get to another place in time
Speaker 1: to survive. You will die. This is a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a reverse blockade. All right, you can't
Speaker 1: have food anymore. So the guy who's running these navy ships,
Speaker 1: who's now not allowed to buy food, keeps trying to
Speaker 1: buy food. He keeps trying to buy food and they
Speaker 1: say no, And finally he gets to a point and says, okay,
Speaker 1: you're going to sell me food or I'm going to
Speaker 1: open fire on your Chinese city. The Chinese don't sell
Speaker 1: him food because the emperor said, don't sell him food,
Speaker 1: and he opens fire. This is called the Battle of Kowloon.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the name of the battle, because pretty
Speaker 1: much nobody dies, but you do need to know this.
Speaker 1: At the end of it, Britain decides to blockade the port.
Speaker 1: China is about to get smacked in the face with
Speaker 1: this thing called reality. The Chinese military, the Chinese navy
Speaker 1: is ancient. It hasn't been updated since the sixteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: Were in the eighteen hundreds in Britain has the greatest
Speaker 1: navy in the history of the world. They're no match
Speaker 1: for the British Navy. And not only is Britain now
Speaker 1: tearing through China on the water, I mean, China is
Speaker 1: no matter and I mean no match. There's nothing they
Speaker 1: can do. The emperor, because he's the quote half god emperor,
Speaker 1: people don't bring him bad news. How many times have
Speaker 1: we talked about getting so deep in a bubble, in
Speaker 1: reaching a level of success where people don't bring you
Speaker 1: bad news, you can't be insulted. Now in defense of
Speaker 1: the people around him, emperors, Chinese emperors, it was not
Speaker 1: uncommon at all for them to have the person beheaded
Speaker 1: who brought them bad news. But that's a really, really
Speaker 1: bad policy because the emperor. Right after the Brits blow
Speaker 1: the Chinese davy out of the water, the Emperor gets
Speaker 1: told Oh, we scored a great victory dominated them. The
Speaker 1: emperor thinks they won, and they're winning. And this is
Speaker 1: a man who, deep down inside considers Chinese people to
Speaker 1: be far superior to everyone else anyway, So all this
Speaker 1: is his confirmation for him on what he already knows
Speaker 1: to be true. Well, these stupid British barbarians don't have
Speaker 1: any chance here, except they did. We're now at the
Speaker 1: point where Britain votes as a nation to go to war.
Speaker 1: This is the year eighteen forty. The Royal Navy gets
Speaker 1: sent to China on a mission. What is that mission?
Speaker 1: You will take an island for yourself in China. One.
Speaker 1: You will take an island that it will be Brits.
Speaker 1: It will be a British island from now on. And
Speaker 1: all the goods we've lost over there, all the goods
Speaker 1: of ours days, trashed with boarding our ships and throwing
Speaker 1: stuff in the harbor. You will go get every penny
Speaker 1: we are owed from the Chinese. They take off with
Speaker 1: an army, and we are talking a modern British army
Speaker 1: with the best cannons, best rifles, bayonets, outstanding military discipline,
Speaker 1: because they've been fighting all over the world, going up
Speaker 1: against the Chinese army that thought it was advanced, and
Speaker 1: they have swords and spears. They do have some black
Speaker 1: powder weapons, but they're it is. I try to explain
Speaker 1: this to you. It is equivalent to you having a
Speaker 1: single shot shotgun standing across a large field and I'm
Speaker 1: on the other side of it with an AR fifteen
Speaker 1: and six thirty round mags. You're going to die. That's
Speaker 1: the difference in the weapon's disparity. We're dealing with you,
Speaker 1: and we're talking. All guns are not the same. The
Speaker 1: Chinese simply are getting mopped up. Even their land forts
Speaker 1: have not been updated. The British Royal Navy will sail
Speaker 1: up to these forts that look out over the water,
Speaker 1: and the forts had guns that didn't move, that just
Speaker 1: were fixed in a certain place, which is ancient. The ships,
Speaker 1: the naval ships would just sail around them and bomb
Speaker 1: these forts out of existence. At one point in time, Britain,
Speaker 1: I mean you should see the old ships China. China's using.
Speaker 1: At one point Britain brings over a steam powered iron hip. Yes,
Speaker 1: the first one of those that gets put into the water.
Speaker 1: This thing is going really really bad. How did it end?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you in a second, and then we'll get
Speaker 1: to your ask doctor Jesse questions, hang them missed out?

Speaker 1: all seriousness, you go to a big banquet, Why do

Speaker 1: in every one of those plates of food, it can't
Speaker 1: possibly receive individual attention. Stop buying your holsters from the

Speaker 1: I'm also on locals. That's the one I can't be
Speaker 1: kicked off of. I do want to remind everybody again,
Speaker 1: I have a funeral to go to next week, and
Speaker 1: then I have to go to New York City for
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff, very exciting stuff, which I will
Speaker 1: be telling you about as soon as I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: tell you about it. But I just want you to
Speaker 1: understand this next week's show schedule for TV and radio
Speaker 1: is going to probably be relatively non existent. It's just
Speaker 1: blown up. It's just going to be a blown up week.
Speaker 1: I can't apologize enough that you have to live without me.
Speaker 1: I can't imat what, Chris. Look, I've never had to
Speaker 1: live without me, Chris, I can't imagine what that would
Speaker 1: be like. I'm sorry for being a nice person and
Speaker 1: feeling bad for people. You wouldn't know what that's like. Anyway,
Speaker 1: back to our story, let's wrap this up here. The
Speaker 1: British just simply go the Chinese to dust. They take
Speaker 1: Hong Kong. If you want to know where that whole
Speaker 1: Britain Hong Kong thing started, it's back here. First Opium War.
Speaker 1: Their navy is so superior they're just flat out sailing
Speaker 1: up rivers and taking major ports. The Chinese finally try
Speaker 1: to rally. They gather fifty thousand troops up to take
Speaker 1: on seven or six thousand British troops and the Chinese
Speaker 1: get blown out of the water again. Again, the technology
Speaker 1: difference for an insular country that just weren't there. The
Speaker 1: Emperor still can't get real news. His advisors keep telling
Speaker 1: him they're winning when they're absolutely getting slaughtered. The British
Speaker 1: are just tearing through the coast. They go down, they
Speaker 1: take Shanghai, they take so much of the Chinese Empire
Speaker 1: it's almost like they had to stop because they were
Speaker 1: almost conquering it by accident. They end up splitting the
Speaker 1: whole country between the North and South. Finding the Chinese
Speaker 1: have to come to the table and sign something called
Speaker 1: the Treaty of Nan King. What it does it opens
Speaker 1: up Opium to free trade. And you remember that one
Speaker 1: port Britain was allowed to use for a few months
Speaker 1: a year. Now it opens up basically all of them Britain. Then,
Speaker 1: once they do all of this, they also take Hong
Speaker 1: Kong officially. Now it's ours, thanks China, appreciate your island.
Speaker 1: And finally, I mean, this is really what brought about
Speaker 1: the Second Opium War. Finally Britain goes, oh, thanks for
Speaker 1: all that stuff. By the way, this war was really, really,
Speaker 1: really expensive pay me. They made China pay for every
Speaker 1: dime they had paid on fight. It paid to fight
Speaker 1: the war. What happened after the First Dopium War, Well,
Speaker 1: the world noticed that China is one week in two
Speaker 1: open for business. So it was no longer just China
Speaker 1: having a British problem. France came in, America came in China.
Speaker 1: They call this This is the beginning of the century
Speaker 1: of humiliation in China. China proceeded to get pillaged for
Speaker 1: a hundred years. I want you to understand. I tried
Speaker 1: to drive this home at the beginning of the show
Speaker 1: as it applies to you and me. I want you
Speaker 1: to understand how big and long lasting, and advanced and
Speaker 1: incredible China was, unstoppable, the top dog, the thousand year dynasty.
Speaker 1: There's nothing we can't do. We do everything better than
Speaker 1: anyone else. And then they get treated like a concert
Speaker 1: outhouse for a hundred years by the rest of the world. Why.
Speaker 1: Because weakness, even temporary weakness, has a cost. Chris, find
Speaker 1: that Joe bidenclip and played again right now, that Joe
Speaker 1: bidenclip you already played. I cannot emphasize this enough. I've
Speaker 1: been hammering it on the show. The world is watching
Speaker 1: when the president speaks, and when the president is like this,
Speaker 1: it can be deadly. Now here's what drives the driver
Speaker 1: in the states that are affected. Here's what that you
Speaker 1: can do the drivers, you guys are bad. I'm not
Speaker 1: supposed to be answering all these questions. I'm supposed to leave,
Speaker 1: but I can't resist your questions. I don't care about
Speaker 1: his medical condition or whatever the reasons are. If you
Speaker 1: are an old man suffering from senality or dementia or
Speaker 1: all timers, that's actually terrible. It's heartbreaking. I've seen people
Speaker 1: go through it. Fine, go down to Florida, get some care, relax, rest.
Speaker 1: You're the leader of the free world. Lives are at
Speaker 1: stake and lives will be lost, potentially lots of them.
Speaker 1: When we have a doddering old fool in the White
Speaker 1: House who cannot complete sentences because the world Why do
Speaker 1: you think they're all moving so fast? Did you know
Speaker 1: China's building up a massive naval fortress essentially close to
Speaker 1: Hawaii or closer to Hawaii. Do you know why they
Speaker 1: feel free to do that? Why everybody Hamass has launched
Speaker 1: like seventeen thousand rockets or something like that seventeen hundred actually,
Speaker 1: but do you know why? Because they think, well, what's
Speaker 1: America going to do? The commander in chief isn't even
Speaker 1: a functional adult. What's a commander to I want you
Speaker 1: to understand this thing about being the best in the
Speaker 1: world doesn't last forever, and man, is it uncomfortable when
Speaker 1: it ends? Hang on over ninety two, one eighty over
Speaker 1: one eleven, one hundred eighty two, over one hundred and
Speaker 1: I had a heart attack and a cardiac arres and
Speaker 1: then a stroke. Your blood pressure numbers could change your life.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand, including myself. I didn't.
Speaker 1: Now I do the impact of having a show. My
Speaker 1: memory is shot. When I woke up, I can speak.
Speaker 1: Lowering your high blood pressure you could save you from
Speaker 1: a heart attacker stroke. If you've stopped your treatment plan,
Speaker 1: restart it or talk to your doctor about creating one
Speaker 1: that works better for you. Start taking the right steps
Speaker 1: at manage er bp dot org a center of life.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna make it better coming back. I ask

Speaker 1: seven seven four three seven three. Jesse at Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show dot com. It's an ask Doctor Jesse Friday, sending
Speaker 1: your questions. We have some doozies. We also have the
Speaker 1: Governor of Nebraska coming up. Somebody wants to know where
Speaker 1: should the headquarters of America's law enforcement and intelligence agencies be.
Speaker 1: Somebody and I may have to just go ahead and
Speaker 1: tackle this one first. Somebody has a fairly heavy marriage question,
Speaker 1: not a light one like a lot of them are.
Speaker 1: This one's a fairly heavy one. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to buckle up and answer this one next. Chris,
Speaker 1: you ready for this? You ready for this? Chris? Do
Speaker 1: you know what I know? You're not? I am though,
Speaker 1: I'm the look, I'm the oracle. Chris, who more equipped
Speaker 1: to answer than me? Hang on. Jesse Kelly returns next.
Speaker 1: This is the Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelllly Show. Eight seven seven three seven seven four three
Speaker 1: seven three. Jesse at Jesse Kelly Show dot com. It
Speaker 1: is time to get into your asks, Doctor Jesse. Questions
Speaker 1: on a Friday. Gosh, it's gonna be such a good day.
Speaker 1: Let's deal with this one first and foremost, doctor Jesse.
Speaker 1: If you could relocate the DC headquarters of America's law
Speaker 1: enforcement and intelligence agencies, where would you put them in?
Speaker 1: Why one, let's deal with the law enforcement agencies. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the federal ones. I would relocate them to
Speaker 1: the unemployment line. I'm not somebody who has historically been
Speaker 1: anti FBI and all that other stuff. Like I've told
Speaker 1: you this before. As a kid, I set up a
Speaker 1: letter telling them I wanted to be an FBI agent,
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. They sent me a package back.
Speaker 1: And who didn't want to be the guy with the
Speaker 1: FBI jacket on or be the dude with the suit
Speaker 1: and tie, dark glasses, Jesse Kelly special agent. Who didn't
Speaker 1: want to be that guy? That's wrong. The federal agency
Speaker 1: because it's a federal agency got taken over by the
Speaker 1: scumbag cultural Marxists and it can't be saved now. And
Speaker 1: don't do that thing that happens when I talk about
Speaker 1: that and email me and say, but Jesse, there are
Speaker 1: good men and women on the ground. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: best the salt of the earth. But again, I'll use
Speaker 1: my analogy I've used before. If you have a local
Speaker 1: burger joint. You love, love this burger joint, and the
Speaker 1: manager and assistant manager, brand new leadership, new manager, new
Speaker 1: assistant manager, and they have a policy. They want everybody's
Speaker 1: burger to come with spit on it. That's just what
Speaker 1: we believe. We believe in spitting in everybody's burger. Now,
Speaker 1: the guy who makes the fries and the guy who's
Speaker 1: at the cash register and stuff like that, they're good, polite,
Speaker 1: hard working people. You're going to that burger joint? Or
Speaker 1: why not? There are good people on the ground. Why
Speaker 1: aren't you going to that burger? Do you see what
Speaker 1: I mean? The leadership of an organization, whether it be FBI,
Speaker 1: private company, whatever it is, that is the organization. It
Speaker 1: doesn't do me any good that there are thirty five
Speaker 1: great FBI agents in Sheboygan. When the director of the
Speaker 1: FBI thinks the greatest threat to the country, it's white supremacy,
Speaker 1: something that doesn't even exist in an organized fashion in
Speaker 1: the United States of America anymore. That organization must be
Speaker 1: dismantled completely. It's not salvageable anymore. Where would I relocate
Speaker 1: the FBI the middle of the Pacific Ocean, that's where
Speaker 1: I'd relocated, fire every single employee, burn the building to
Speaker 1: the ground, and leave a statue there as a reminder
Speaker 1: of how out of control a federal law enforcement arm
Speaker 1: really can get. That's why two intelligence agencies is something
Speaker 1: I struggle with. And this is why I don't struggle
Speaker 1: with much as you know. I'm all knowing and all that,
Speaker 1: But what Chris, And this is why the small government
Speaker 1: guy in me and the distrustful nature guy in me
Speaker 1: doesn't like federal law enforcement. I don't like large standing armies,
Speaker 1: just like the founding fathers didn't said they were completely
Speaker 1: hostile to freedom. I don't like having a megapowerful government
Speaker 1: spy agency. But that is also in the world. We
Speaker 1: live in a really naive way to look at life.
Speaker 1: The truth is countries. I look, Israels are great. Sample,
Speaker 1: Why is Israel still standing? They probably have the best
Speaker 1: one in the world. Israel knows stuff their enemies don't know,
Speaker 1: and always has From the earliest establishment of Israel, they
Speaker 1: have started fighting all those worlds, all those wars with
Speaker 1: the Arabs around them. Israel just always knew more than
Speaker 1: their enemies knew. There is that's a critical part of
Speaker 1: a nation. I think. I don't think you can do
Speaker 1: anything with that. There's that question. Time for the heavy one.
Speaker 1: You're ready for this, Chris, Doctor Jesse, I need your
Speaker 1: manly perspective in marriage help. My husband and I have
Speaker 1: been married for almost sixteen years, and I think we
Speaker 1: would both agree we have a good, healthy marriage. My
Speaker 1: husband is one of the hardest working men I know,
Speaker 1: regularly grinding fifty to sixty hours a week, often working
Speaker 1: sixteen or twenty four hours shifts in a hospital. I
Speaker 1: stay home full time with our four busy elementary age kids.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for his dedication to our families so we
Speaker 1: can reach our financial goals, and that I have the
Speaker 1: ability to be a homemaker. Here's my issue. My husband
Speaker 1: is the most unthoughtful, uncaring person when it comes to
Speaker 1: gift giving. After we were married, he told me was
Speaker 1: zero shame that he almost gave me his ex fiance's
Speaker 1: engagement ring, but his best friend advised him against it.
Speaker 1: I have given him a lot of grace over the
Speaker 1: years and have told him many times how hurt my
Speaker 1: feelings are. But I'm now at a give him at
Speaker 1: a point of giving up because I don't want to
Speaker 1: sound like a nag. I appreciate what he does for
Speaker 1: our family, and I make sure to let him know
Speaker 1: on Father's Day, his birthday, our anniversary that he's regularly appreciated,
Speaker 1: and she says a wink, wink, good grief. I just
Speaker 1: wish she would reciprocate the sentiment once in a while.
Speaker 1: If it weren't for if it weren't for my kids
Speaker 1: teachers having them make cards for Mother's Day, I would
Speaker 1: have received nothing from Mother's Day, no flowers, no card
Speaker 1: from him. Nothing For our fifteen year anniversary last year,
Speaker 1: I received nothing, not even flowers, except for a meal
Speaker 1: at an Amish buffet. I think I screwed myself by
Speaker 1: being a low maintenance, non materialistic type of woman, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I don't want to feel appreciate it
Speaker 1: a couple of times a year. Money isn't an issue.
Speaker 1: At our lowest income, we lived on thirty thousand a
Speaker 1: year he was in graduate school, and we're making more
Speaker 1: than ten times that now. So what do I do
Speaker 1: every special occasion? I think maybe this is the time
Speaker 1: he will surprise me and sweep me off my feet,
Speaker 1: But every time I am disappointed and hurt, He's just
Speaker 1: not getting it, tired of trying to explain, or am
Speaker 1: I the crazy one? I feel guilty even writing this
Speaker 1: out because I know there are many women married to
Speaker 1: actual jerks who are lazy or abusive. She says. Not
Speaker 1: to use her name. She said, ps. I got rid
Speaker 1: of all my flats. In the other day at church,
Speaker 1: I wore heels with jeans, and my husband commented on
Speaker 1: how good I looked, and I told him, Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: told me to do it. Ladies, you think I'm just
Speaker 1: joking about that. It's the flat still on some heels.
Speaker 1: See what he says about you? All right, let's dig
Speaker 1: into this. You are married to a dude who works
Speaker 1: the spot off. You have a good marriage, provides for
Speaker 1: his family. Sounds like life is pretty stink and good.
Speaker 1: But there's this thing he doesn't do, and that's by
Speaker 1: you stuff or show his appreciation. One. You're not a
Speaker 1: crazy one, not at all, Not at all. Women are
Speaker 1: different than men. Women have that need to feel appreciated,
Speaker 1: whether you're low, whether you're a low maintenance or high maintenance.
Speaker 1: It's and look ben do too. That's actually not just
Speaker 1: the women thing, but women want to feel appreciated for
Speaker 1: their hard work and good wife and appreciating him on
Speaker 1: Father's Day and all the other things like that, and
Speaker 1: all seriousness. Women want to feel appreciated. You're not wrong
Speaker 1: at all, You're not crazy, You're not wrong. So to
Speaker 1: set that aside, I'm not going to defend him, but
Speaker 1: I am going to defend him. And this is what
Speaker 1: I mean by that. Yeah, I wish the guy would
Speaker 1: get you something. I wish the guy would pick up
Speaker 1: on hints to get you something. But if I may
Speaker 1: say this, one of the things that has hit me
Speaker 1: about marriage is accepting that the other person simply may
Speaker 1: have been raised in a significantly different way and have
Speaker 1: blinders on that they either can't see or won't see.
Speaker 1: Let me give you a couple of small examples from
Speaker 1: my own life, from my own marriage. My family obsesses
Speaker 1: with food, and as you probably can figure out, this
Speaker 1: is not just a me thing. I want you to know,
Speaker 1: I'm not abnormal. I'm very close with my sister Mickey.
Speaker 1: I will get I will get a text or two
Speaker 1: a week at least now I texted with her more
Speaker 1: than that, a text or two a week at least,
Speaker 1: what it would be it'll be an Instagram post, of
Speaker 1: a food place she wants to eat at, or if
Speaker 1: she takes a vacation, she'll text back a bunch of
Speaker 1: pictures to the family. It's not a bunch of selfies.
Speaker 1: Look at me on the beach, it's everything she ate
Speaker 1: and my sister's aid eyes of a twig. Hang on,
Speaker 1: I'm not done. Hang them. Feeling a little stocky, follow

Speaker 1: heavy one, was lady, happy marriage, dude buses rear end,
Speaker 1: happy house, you go to church for good kids. The
Speaker 1: dude is apparently a colossally neglectful person when it comes
Speaker 1: to gifts. No gifts from Mother's Day, no gifts for anniversary,
Speaker 1: not showing appreciation. She's hurt? Is she the crazy one one? No,
Speaker 1: you're not the crazy one too. My family's obsessed with food.
Speaker 1: I get this from my father. Were coming up on
Speaker 1: a holiday, and this is this is not an exaggeration.
Speaker 1: My dad will start planning what he's going to eat
Speaker 1: for Christmas two months ahead of time, and he'll be
Speaker 1: calling me if I'm going to be in town, call
Speaker 1: it well, I think we should maybe do this? Well
Speaker 1: should we get a side of this? I'm not joking
Speaker 1: about two months ahead of time. That's how my family
Speaker 1: does things. My dad can tell you not only where
Speaker 1: to eat in every town he's ever been in. What
Speaker 1: order when you walk in that place. I'm not the
Speaker 1: only one in this family obsessed with food. My wife's
Speaker 1: family a few years ago, we take off back there
Speaker 1: for Christmas time. We have to do you know, we
Speaker 1: have to go to her mom's side of the family.
Speaker 1: We do a Christmas with them, Then we go to
Speaker 1: her dad's side of the family do Christmas with them.
Speaker 1: And it's all fine. I mean, they are I like
Speaker 1: to joke about that stuff. They're just all wonderful people.
Speaker 1: Her parents are just glorious. So it's fine. But we
Speaker 1: get back home about noon on Christmas Day. We're done
Speaker 1: for the day. We've done a couple of Christmas is.
Speaker 1: We get back home four or five o'clock, rules around.
Speaker 1: I start walking through the house and I say, all right,
Speaker 1: anyone else getting hungry? Yeah, yeah, for sure. And I asked,
Speaker 1: all right, what are we doing for Christmas dinner? Parents
Speaker 1: look around and say, I don't know. I hadn't really
Speaker 1: thought about it. Maybe we'll get some leftovers or something.
Speaker 1: They're not wrong at all. I wasn't wrong at all.
Speaker 1: People are different and come from totally different families and
Speaker 1: totally different backgrounds. On your gift giving thing, birthday, holidays
Speaker 1: in general were never a big deal in my house.
Speaker 1: Definitely birthdays and stuff like that. One year, my dad
Speaker 1: called me three days after my birthday and asked if
Speaker 1: I wanted anything for my birthday. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 1: That just was not a priority. It was a big
Speaker 1: deal in my wife's family. My wife can tell you
Speaker 1: to this day, the birthday of literally everybody in their house.
Speaker 1: When somebody asked me my kid's birthday, I have to
Speaker 1: get I have to take a second and figure it out.
Speaker 1: I know it, but I definitely don't know anyone else's.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying to you is this, this is probably
Speaker 1: something you should let go. I'm not saying you're wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's right. I'm saying this is clearly
Speaker 1: the way the man was raised and everything else, you know,
Speaker 1: taking everything else into account. Hard working dude, you said
Speaker 1: you got a good marriage, happy kids, good family. I'd
Speaker 1: let it go. Doesn't mean you should stop dropping hints.
Speaker 1: Maybe he will pick up on him one of these days,
Speaker 1: maybe you should. Maybe you should just flat out tell him, dude,
Speaker 1: this kills me. Get me some flowers from others day,
Speaker 1: this kills me. I'm not saying stop doing that, But
Speaker 1: I am saying, probably something to let go. I don't
Speaker 1: go back to my in law's house now on Christmas
Speaker 1: and expect that there's going to be a planned out
Speaker 1: delicious meal. Do I want to plan out delicious meal?
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm jesse. I'm obsessed with that stuff. There's
Speaker 1: not going to be one if I go back there
Speaker 1: now and I expect there to be one, and I
Speaker 1: get disappointed when there's not one, as that their fault
Speaker 1: or my fault. See what I mean. I realized that's
Speaker 1: easier said than done. But that's my answer. Doctor stud
Speaker 1: muffin sombrero handsomest ombre of the Houston Suburbs. I have
Speaker 1: a dilemma. I recently prepared a cracked flush valve on
Speaker 1: the master toilet, and I thought about the future, as
Speaker 1: one does when they're repairing a toilet, he says. I
Speaker 1: have a son and a daughter, and I'm not entirely
Speaker 1: sure how much I should teach them about my home
Speaker 1: repair knowledge. I want to teach them to do it
Speaker 1: themselves and save that coin, but I also want them
Speaker 1: to learn the way I just did through trial and error.
Speaker 1: What would the showgun of the Suburbs dude, he says,
Speaker 1: I can use his name. His name as Buck. Remember
Speaker 1: this Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com. You email
Speaker 1: me your love, your hate, your death threat. You're asked
Speaker 1: doctor Jesse questions. They all go right to Jewish producer Chris.
Speaker 1: He prints them off for me and I read them all.
Speaker 1: I will never read your name on the air unless
Speaker 1: you specifically tell me in the email, I will read it.
Speaker 1: Even your death threat, I will not do it. I'm
Speaker 1: one of the last private people on the planet. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Teach your kids. I teach your kids, and this is
Speaker 1: why I have had Now my kids are only ten
Speaker 1: and twelve, so i haven't had a ton of these.
Speaker 1: But I've had moments in my life already where my
Speaker 1: sons have come up to me after they did something
Speaker 1: that I had taught them how to do and told me, Dad,
Speaker 1: I did blank just like you showed me, and it worked.
Speaker 1: And you see that the thankfulness in their face, and
Speaker 1: as a dad, that may be the greatest moment of
Speaker 1: my life. I've had moments like that with my father,
Speaker 1: who's not exactly the soft, cuddly type as you can imagine.
Speaker 1: But I've had moments like that with him, where I'll
Speaker 1: just that, Dad, Thanks for teaching me about business. Dad,
Speaker 1: Thanks for teaching me about working hard, Thanks for teaching
Speaker 1: me about this or that. And when I tell it
Speaker 1: to him in person, you can almost see it your
Speaker 1: duct activate. I don't think he has tear ducks, but
Speaker 1: you can almost see one activate. Your kids are going
Speaker 1: to come to you one day and they're going to say, Dad,
Speaker 1: my toilet broke and I just fixed it because of
Speaker 1: what you showed me. Thanks Dad, And in that moment
Speaker 1: you will know that is the best joy you will
Speaker 1: ever feel in your entire life. I get the trial
Speaker 1: and error thing and wanting them to go through hardship.
Speaker 1: Totally get that. You can always, you know, try to
Speaker 1: split the baby on the whole deal, show them how
Speaker 1: to do it, and then watch them fail a few
Speaker 1: times till they figure out how to do properly what
Speaker 1: you showed them how to do. I like the trial
Speaker 1: and error and make them go through miserable stuff. I
Speaker 1: do that kind of thing, you know, if I'm doing something.
Speaker 1: I was doing something the other day and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: go get me a Phillip's head screwdriver, and he looks
Speaker 1: at me and He says, wait, which one's the Phillip's
Speaker 1: head again, and I looked at him and said, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you'll figure it out. And then he looks it,
Speaker 1: says okay, well where is it? And I said, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you'll figure that out too. Disappear and don't come
Speaker 1: back until you have a Philip said, screwdriver in your hands.
Speaker 1: It took off and came back with a Philip said,
Speaker 1: So it's fine with letting them figure things out and
Speaker 1: walk through it on their own, but Dad, teach those
Speaker 1: kids how to fix the toilet. If for no other reason,
Speaker 1: then how what it's going to mean to you one day?
Speaker 1: It will mean a lot to you one day. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about these vaccines and what people are, what people
Speaker 1: are becoming with these vaccines. This email hit me home
Speaker 1: because again let me clarify where I stand on the vaccine.
Speaker 1: I've told you before, I'll tell you again. I am
Speaker 1: not going to get the vaccine, but I don't judge
Speaker 1: anybody who does at all. Everyone's in different situations, has
Speaker 1: different beliefs about it and whatnot. Go get the vaccine.
Speaker 1: If you want to get the vaccine, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting in. And I've explained this before, and
Speaker 1: the reason I'm not getting it is I'm not at
Speaker 1: risk for coronavirus, and I don't care what the common
Speaker 1: knowledge or thinking is. I don't get vaccinated for things
Speaker 1: I'm not at a risk of. That's that's the only
Speaker 1: reason why. But I also don't judge you. I'm not
Speaker 1: telling you you're wrong. If you did, I want to
Speaker 1: clarify about you. Live your own life, wear your mask,
Speaker 1: get your vaccine. I don't care. I'll live mind, you
Speaker 1: live yours. But what has happened is this people have
Speaker 1: been so warped by the system, and they've been so
Speaker 1: abused by the system there now they're now at that
Speaker 1: point where the system is dangling a carrot out there
Speaker 1: and they're desperate and will do anything to get that carrot.
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? I'm gonna explain with
Speaker 1: this email I got about vaccinations in a second. Hang on,
Speaker 1: miss something. There's a podcast getting on demand wherever podcasts
Speaker 1: are found, The Jesse Kelly Show. The Eden Pure Thunderstorm
Speaker 1: is not like any other air purifier I've ever had
Speaker 1: in my entire life. I have had many. I like them,
Speaker 1: and I want to be clear about this. I'm not
Speaker 1: short changing myself on the quality. I've been buying good ones,
Speaker 1: so I'm comparing apples to apples here. The Eden Pure
Speaker 1: Thunderstorm was simply far superior. It's just better than anyone
Speaker 1: I've ever had. I have to have them because of
Speaker 1: my allergies. I've had a bunch. I've never had one
Speaker 1: that had me walk over to the trash can and
Speaker 1: throw away my lergy medication. That is what I've done
Speaker 1: because of the Eden Pure Thunderstorm. I own three of
Speaker 1: them now. Go to Edenpure deals dot com. That's Eden
Speaker 1: pure deals dot com used to cojesse a checkout for
Speaker 1: ten bucks off. Considering all of these factors, the data
Speaker 1: on vaccine effectiveness, the science on their ability to protect
Speaker 1: against circulating variants, and are growing understanding of the low
Speaker 1: risk of transmission to others, combined with universal access to
Speaker 1: vaccines for those twelve and older. Today, CDC is updating
Speaker 1: our guidance for fully vaccinated people. Anyone who is fully
Speaker 1: vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities large or
Speaker 1: small without wearing a mask or physical distancing. If you
Speaker 1: are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that
Speaker 1: you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have
Speaker 1: all lunged for this moment when we can get back
Speaker 1: to some sense of normalcy. No we haven't. I've been
Speaker 1: a sense of normalcy for a year? Is what is
Speaker 1: r I'll tell you man. That was, of course, the
Speaker 1: director of the CDC. I know this is an exciting
Speaker 1: moment for you. Are you ready for this? You have
Speaker 1: permission from the CDC to go be free? How about that?
Speaker 1: I love when I get permission from the government to
Speaker 1: be free. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside,
Speaker 1: just the difference between Look, I saw this before I
Speaker 1: came along, because I'm about to get to I'm about
Speaker 1: to get to this email and it's going to be
Speaker 1: applicable to this. There's a lady, Cassie Hunt, Casey Hunt.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's Kasie. I don't out say her first
Speaker 1: name because they don't research for the show. But she's
Speaker 1: a Capitol Hill correspondent. She's with NBC News and she
Speaker 1: had something on her Twitter feed that said this, So,
Speaker 1: what do I do with my child who's too little
Speaker 1: for a mask? Now that these rules have changed? And
Speaker 1: I have no idea if the people in say the
Speaker 1: grocery store are telling the truth about their vaccination status.
Speaker 1: Is it safe to take him inside? For people with childcare,
Speaker 1: this seems bad? Is it safe to take him inside?
Speaker 1: What have we done with people in this country with
Speaker 1: the fearmongering on this thing? And you know, I've never
Speaker 1: once I was always against the lockdown, steff and whatnot.
Speaker 1: As you know, I've never once come on here and
Speaker 1: said it's a fake virus and it's not real, it's
Speaker 1: just a flu. I've never said that. I've never said
Speaker 1: that at all. I understand it's real and it's cost lives,
Speaker 1: and I get all that. What have we done? That's
Speaker 1: a reporter with NBC News who thinks it's unsafe to
Speaker 1: take her child who's too small for a mask. Therefore,
Speaker 1: you know the child is at no risk. The science
Speaker 1: says her child is at no risk of coronavirus at all,
Speaker 1: and I mean zero. She's sitting in her car wondering
Speaker 1: if she can take him inside the grocery store. I've
Speaker 1: been strolling around the grocery store unmasked with my kids
Speaker 1: for a long time. What is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1: What has this become? And this leads me right into
Speaker 1: this email, Dear Chili Cheese Friedo Bandido, What Chris? My wife,
Speaker 1: who is unvaccinated, had lunch yesterday with their girlfriends. All
Speaker 1: the girls are vaccinated and bashed the stupid people who
Speaker 1: are unvaccinated. Half of the vaccated girls at the table
Speaker 1: wore masks. My wife kept quiet and left, thinking that
Speaker 1: all of her friends have lost their minds. I asked
Speaker 1: my wife, what, Chris, I do my own sound effects. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you don't know anything about radio. I asked my wife,
Speaker 1: what would you have said if they asked your opinion?
Speaker 1: Her response was, I'm not afraid of giving of getting COVID,
Speaker 1: and all the people that are afraid are eligible to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. She listens to your show and said something profound.
Speaker 1: She said that being at that table unvaccinated made her
Speaker 1: feel like the small percentage of Americans that fought for
Speaker 1: the colonial army. She learned this from one of your episodes.
Speaker 1: How is it that we see so clear and all
Speaker 1: of our friends have lost their peep in minds? Well,
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it already, or I should say,
Speaker 1: your wife did one thing that's very hard for individual thinkers,
Speaker 1: for leaders to understand. And this is a very hard thing.
Speaker 1: One thing it's hard for leaders to understand is why
Speaker 1: are there's so many followers. An individual who thinks through
Speaker 1: things doesn't just take whatever their spoon fed, weighs everything,
Speaker 1: thinks about it. It doesn't always come out on the
Speaker 1: same side as everyone, but thinks about things. That person
Speaker 1: can never understand this very basic fact that is really
Speaker 1: really hard for some people to swallow. Are you ready
Speaker 1: for it? Most people are average? Most people are average.
Speaker 1: People ask me sometimes why I am so confident, And
Speaker 1: when I talk to people, I would just why I
Speaker 1: am so confident? And what's crazy about it is is
Speaker 1: I try to explain to people it's not because I'm good,
Speaker 1: It's not because I think I'm special. It's because I
Speaker 1: have met people from the highest positions of power in
Speaker 1: this nation, and companies and rich guys and politicians and
Speaker 1: everything else. They're also incredibly average and unimpressive. Those of
Speaker 1: us who think, those of us who are individuals, we're
Speaker 1: always going to be a tiny percentage of the population.
Speaker 1: Now we are the percentage that saves the population. But
Speaker 1: one thing that's been a frustration for me and probably
Speaker 1: a frustration for you, is you have family and friends,
Speaker 1: maybe even people on the right, and it seems like
Speaker 1: they won't wake up. I find myself practically shouting that
Speaker 1: sometimes wake up. You want to just grab somebody and
Speaker 1: shake them right, wake up? Why aren't you wake up? Buddy?
Speaker 1: They can't wake up. That's as good as they get.
Speaker 1: They've reached their full potential when it comes to being
Speaker 1: an individual thinker. That's hard to swallow. Right. I get
Speaker 1: these emails all the time. My brother, I love him
Speaker 1: to death, and and he's he's all about this communist himself.
Speaker 1: He won't wake up. I mean, if I were to
Speaker 1: mute the word wake up, my emails would cut in half.
Speaker 1: I know it's a frustration for you, and it's a
Speaker 1: frustration for me. But you what I have to accept
Speaker 1: and what you have to accept is this. That is
Speaker 1: them awake. They can't can't anymore awoken. That's as good
Speaker 1: as people get. Why do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 1: Unions are so big? And remember I'm not anti union.
Speaker 1: I grew up in construction. I know a million union
Speaker 1: guys and pipe fitters and stuff like that. I don't
Speaker 1: like unions, but I don't automatically looked at a union
Speaker 1: guy and look down your nose at him. I most
Speaker 1: of the time just think that's a working dude. But
Speaker 1: why do you think unions are so big. Unions are
Speaker 1: so big because most people are just average. If you
Speaker 1: were anything beyond average, you wouldn't need it. That's just
Speaker 1: the truth of it. I mean, I can get mad
Speaker 1: and do get mad about the traffic laws. I'm mad
Speaker 1: you're not pulling over people driving slow in the left lane.
Speaker 1: I'm mad that this person's doing this, this person doesn't
Speaker 1: use a signal, and I'm mad that why is this
Speaker 1: being limit only forty five here? But I'm still a
Speaker 1: relatively relatively young dude with good eyesight and fast reflexes.
Speaker 1: That's not most people. There are people out there drunk.
Speaker 1: There are people out there old and their eyes are
Speaker 1: feeling them. There are women they can't drive at all.
Speaker 1: What Chris, We can make jokes on the show, but
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, the reason you have these things in
Speaker 1: life is most people are average. And what she said
Speaker 1: about the colonials is right. Remember this, this is people
Speaker 1: are blown away by this. You know what percentage of
Speaker 1: the country fought the American Revolution? About a third, a third,
Speaker 1: a third of the country fought for the British. They
Speaker 1: we called him loyalists. A third of the country far
Speaker 1: for the British. And you know what blows me away?
Speaker 1: It is it even those two numbers, a third of
Speaker 1: the country didn't carry either way. No big deal whatever,
Speaker 1: Just just tell me what I'm supposed to do. Just
Speaker 1: leave me out of it. Most people are average. That
Speaker 1: is a bitter pill to swallow, but it's true. Now,
Speaker 1: speaking of average, we have been asked, maybe to address
Speaker 1: the most serious question we've ever had on asked doctor
Speaker 1: Jesse buckle up for this one. It's about to get
Speaker 1: wild missed out, catch out Jesse Kelly Show dot com.
Speaker 1: Jake's mint Chew will help you quit dipping tobacco, and
Speaker 1: it will help that friend or relative you have quit
Speaker 1: dipping tobacco or quit smoking. I'll tell you that is
Speaker 1: something that's blown me away since I've started talking about
Speaker 1: Jake's Mint Chew on the show, is how many smokers
Speaker 1: have written in telling me the CBD pouches, there's these
Speaker 1: little they're mess free, these little CBD pouches, how they've
Speaker 1: helped them quit smoking. I hear from people all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at home. I want to go I have
Speaker 1: a cigarette. I throw in one of the CBD pouches
Speaker 1: and it just it takes that edge off. That's what
Speaker 1: gets you when you're quitting too. It's that edge either
Speaker 1: you're just a little testy. I'm sad to admit I
Speaker 1: was not the most pleasant human being when I quit dipping.
Speaker 1: So Jake's mint Chew go find out about it today.

Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: show dot com. We have the Governor of Nebraska coming
Speaker 1: up in about forty minutes from now. Be anxious to
Speaker 1: see what he has to say before I get to
Speaker 1: this email, which may be the most important email I've
Speaker 1: ever answered on the show, Chris, I want you to
Speaker 1: play for the folks the new ad from the United
Speaker 1: States Army. First of all, before he plays this, I
Speaker 1: want you to understand this, and I know you do,
Speaker 1: but I really want you to understand this. Russia and
Speaker 1: China they are both making extreme steps right now, not
Speaker 1: just technologically, they're both taking extreme steps to make sure
Speaker 1: their militaries are more masculine. They are going all in.
Speaker 1: They were actually worried they were getting too soft, and
Speaker 1: they're going all in a more wrestling, more physical fitness,
Speaker 1: more masculine. Do would you like to know what your
Speaker 1: United States Army is doing? Oh? I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 1: Here's their newest ad. This is the story of a
Speaker 1: soldier who operates to a nation's patriot missile defense systems.
Speaker 1: It begins in California with a little girl raised by
Speaker 1: two moms. Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet,
Speaker 1: played violin. I also marched for equality. I like to
Speaker 1: think I've been defending freedom from an early age. It's
Speaker 1: like a two minute ad. It goes on from there.
Speaker 1: You understand we're going to lose the next major war
Speaker 1: we fight, right. I take no pleasure in saying that
Speaker 1: because of what it means. But as you know, we
Speaker 1: talk about history every single day on the show. How
Speaker 1: many times have we talked about a nation that let
Speaker 1: its military rout out from underneath it while other hungrier
Speaker 1: nations were advancing and advancing and advancing, and then that
Speaker 1: traditional power that had let its military kind of rought out,
Speaker 1: gets in a conflict and arrogantly goes stomping in thinking
Speaker 1: we're America. Good luck beating us. Oh wow, we just lost.
Speaker 1: That's the history of the world and it's coming now
Speaker 1: for the most important email ever. Hey there, doctor Jesse,
Speaker 1: I have a serious question. I was watching Raiders of
Speaker 1: the Lost Ark. My question involves the Well of Souls.
Speaker 1: What was the food source for the thousands of snake
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Well of Souls? I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody had disturbed the resting place to the lost arc
Speaker 1: of the Covenant for thousands of years. How could there
Speaker 1: possibly have been enough sustenance there to support all the
Speaker 1: venomous snakes? Thanks for your help. People are so naive, Chris.
Speaker 1: I hate having to educate the American public all the time. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the snakes were eating each other. Man, the snakes were
Speaker 1: eating each other. And what happened was the snake mothers.
Speaker 1: They had a breeding ground in the back that nobody
Speaker 1: disturbed because there weren't any natural predators down there besides
Speaker 1: other snakes. So that what Chris, I'm sorry you haven't
Speaker 1: thought about it so what they did was they went
Speaker 1: in the back and they were having kids faster than
Speaker 1: the other snakes were getting eaten. That's why they were
Speaker 1: so mean. Anyway, they have to educate everybody. All right,
Speaker 1: this is an email from a travel agent. I know
Speaker 1: a travel agent who well you'll see you. Remember the
Speaker 1: other day I talked about Disney. When Disney came out
Speaker 1: with that garbage, you know, anti white racism training for
Speaker 1: their employees, and our buddy Chris Rufo had a bunch
Speaker 1: of whistleblowers that exposed the training and how just, I mean,
Speaker 1: how despicable it was, and how despicable Disney has been anyway,
Speaker 1: with very much cramming a cultural Marxist agenda into stuff
Speaker 1: for your kids. They've been terrible. And so I went
Speaker 1: off on it the other day and I just said, hey, look,
Speaker 1: I've personally been to Disney World. I have spent money,
Speaker 1: lots of it at the Disney Company. Somebody over there
Speaker 1: has bought a new stapler because because of the Kelly family,
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. I'm not going to do
Speaker 1: that anymore. We have to be more purposeful, you and
Speaker 1: I more purposeful with how we live our lives. Yours
Speaker 1: is not going to look like mine, that's going to
Speaker 1: reflect itself in different ways, but being more purposeful with
Speaker 1: where we spend and don't spend our money. We have
Speaker 1: to stop paying for the people who are destroying us
Speaker 1: on purpose. We have to. So I get an email
Speaker 1: from this lady and it says, this ouch, this Disney
Speaker 1: thing hurts. Not sure I can do it personally. While
Speaker 1: I kind of know, okay, I know we should. There
Speaker 1: are lifelong memories wrapped up in every facet of it,
Speaker 1: and it's just, you know, she's obviously hurting. This is
Speaker 1: not my question though. My question is considering that I
Speaker 1: make a nice chunk of my living selling their products.
Speaker 1: Cruises adventures by Disney. Those are the world wide trips
Speaker 1: I was telling you about the parks, Hawaii, etc. When
Speaker 1: she says Hawaii, they're like Disney hotels out there now,
Speaker 1: and just like they're just like their vacations, just like
Speaker 1: their cruises, just like their parks. They're supposed to be phenomenal,
Speaker 1: well run, well oiled machines. Anyway, if you were in
Speaker 1: my business, she asked, the travel business, how would you
Speaker 1: handle the situation? Do you really think you would stop
Speaker 1: selling them? Or would you bite your tongue, look the
Speaker 1: other way, and cash the check. So to speak, I
Speaker 1: have an answer, Hang on, Wake up and text, Text
Speaker 1: and eat, Text and catch the bus, Text and miss
Speaker 1: your stop. Wait. Text and be late to work sorrently
Speaker 1: text and work, Text and pretend to work. Text and
Speaker 1: x surprised when someone calls you out for not working.
Speaker 1: Text and meet up with a friend you haven't seen
Speaker 1: in forever. Oh, Text and complain that they're on their
Speaker 1: phone the whole time. Text and listen to them. Complain
Speaker 1: that you're on your phone the whole time. Text and whatever.
Speaker 1: But when you get behind the wheel, give your phone
Speaker 1: to a passenger, put it in the glove box. Just
Speaker 1: don't text and drive. Visit stop texts stop rex dot org.
Speaker 1: A public service announcement brought to you by the National
Speaker 1: Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the accounts. So it is

Speaker 1: doctor Jesse Friday eight seven seven three seven seven four
Speaker 1: three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly show dot com.
Speaker 1: And if you missed any part of the show, any
Speaker 1: part at all. The entire show is podcasted on iHeart
Speaker 1: and Google and Spotify and iTunes. On iTunes, I want
Speaker 1: you to do me a favor. I want you to
Speaker 1: go leave a five star rating and leave a review
Speaker 1: talking about how handsome I am. Ones like this when
Speaker 1: Jesse kills it. It's titled fantastic podcast, my new favorite.
Speaker 1: I only have one complaint. Is it absolutely necessary to
Speaker 1: have a picture of the oracle on the podcast. I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to look at that movie star handsome mug
Speaker 1: just to listen that daily hits to myself esteem now
Speaker 1: seem almost cruel. I can't be the only one having
Speaker 1: this issue. All right, I'll answer the Disney question next,
Speaker 1: Hang on the Jesse Kelly Show. This is a Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly show. If you drive an electric car, this would
Speaker 1: not be affecting you. Clearly what that's the government's response
Speaker 1: to a gas shortage? Why aren't you driving an electric car?
Speaker 1: Or electric car? You peasant cheets eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: seven seven four three seven three Jesse at Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show dot com. These people are insane, Chris. These people
Speaker 1: are insane. They're out of their minds. The stuff they
Speaker 1: the stuff they feel comfortable saying now creeps me out.
Speaker 1: Wrap your mind, Wrap your mind. Around this, we have
Speaker 1: a gas shortage. People are waiting in gas line. We
Speaker 1: had at one point major cities in North Carolina out
Speaker 1: of gas, out of gas. And the government is so arrogant.
Speaker 1: They think they're so far above you, they think so
Speaker 1: little of you. They feel totally comfortable at a time
Speaker 1: of Christ is stepping up to the microphone and saying this,
Speaker 1: if you drive an electric car, this would not be
Speaker 1: affecting you. Clearly. Wow, talk about talk about revealing exactly
Speaker 1: what you think about the American people. Well, yes, you
Speaker 1: should be driving an electric Colly, all right. But the
Speaker 1: question was, the asked doctor Jesse. Question, was this travel
Speaker 1: agent makes a bunch of her money selling Disney stuff,
Speaker 1: Disney Cruise's, Disney Adventures, Disney Parks, Disney hotels, Disney. Would
Speaker 1: I stop selling Disney or would I bite my tongue.
Speaker 1: I am never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to come
Speaker 1: here and sit behind this microphone and tell you to
Speaker 1: stop earning a living ever. I mean, maybe you can
Speaker 1: push someone another way or something like that. You're never
Speaker 1: going to hear me come behind the microphone and be
Speaker 1: all high and mighty and self righteous and look down
Speaker 1: my nose at you and said, why are you doing
Speaker 1: this as money? All that matters to you as you're
Speaker 1: trying to pay the rent and put food on the table.
Speaker 1: No way, that's so out aline. And I hate when
Speaker 1: people say that if you have to keep selling Disney
Speaker 1: stuff to keep paying the mortgage, then you keep selling
Speaker 1: Disney stuff. You don't have to love it. If you
Speaker 1: have another opportunity to sell a different place, it's just
Speaker 1: as good, or something like that. Maybe go that round.
Speaker 1: I'm never going to tell people to stop doing it.
Speaker 1: That's not what I mean by being more purposeful. You
Speaker 1: don't have to be purposeful to the point you're on welfare.
Speaker 1: We just have to make improvements in our lives. Being
Speaker 1: more purposeful doesn't It doesn't mean sorry, honey, looks like
Speaker 1: we're gonna get We just got a foreclosure notice, so
Speaker 1: we're gonna get kicked out soon. Why honey, Well, I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like selling Disney anymore. It's not right. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not right either. Being more purposeful doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be that. I just my frustration is things like the
Speaker 1: NFL is a great example. I've used this one before.
Speaker 1: I mean, at the height of all that black lives matter,
Speaker 1: absurdity that professional sports league from a league wide thing
Speaker 1: to their biggest stars, all of them not only took
Speaker 1: a gigantic steaming dump all over Cops, but all over America.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, one of the NFL's biggest stars. Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: put up a video saying, hey, I love the flag.
Speaker 1: Both my grandpa's fought in World War Two. He then
Speaker 1: came out and apologized for that video. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: how bad this country sucks. I mean, just a league
Speaker 1: wide thing, and you know what I saw from the
Speaker 1: right in the immediate wake of all that. I am
Speaker 1: done with the NFL never again. I will not stand
Speaker 1: for them dumping on the fly. This is wrong. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: I agree? Right? You know what I saw a week two?
Speaker 1: Oh did you see that throw from Drew Brees? What
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Greatest game ever from the same guy. Being
Speaker 1: more purposeful doesn't mean putting your family in the poorhouse,
Speaker 1: but surely it means you could change the channel now
Speaker 1: and then. Huh, doctor Jesse, what is your expert opinion
Speaker 1: on arranged marriages? Chris? I know it seems like an
Speaker 1: antiquated idea nowadays, but it is the normative practice historically speaking.
Speaker 1: Part of my definition of it would be not forced
Speaker 1: see the children to get married married, but arranging friendships
Speaker 1: slats courtship at appropriate ages with families you trust and
Speaker 1: share values with. If the kids aren't compatible, then fine,
Speaker 1: But I don't want to risk my girls marrying an
Speaker 1: American hating commie. Whatever you say, I'm sure it will
Speaker 1: be a one percent correct Look forward to hearing the answer,
Speaker 1: and he says, I can use his name. His name
Speaker 1: is Seth. Yes, arranged marriages are the most underrated thing
Speaker 1: in the world, the most underrated thing in the world. Now,
Speaker 1: like you said, I'm not comfortable with saying congratulations, son,
Speaker 1: moot his son's James, I've found the woman you're gonna marry. No,
Speaker 1: you don't have options. I'll cut you out of my wheel.
Speaker 1: But I'm a big fan of arranged marriages. I know
Speaker 1: it's ikey. I know everybody's recoiling in horror right now.
Speaker 1: But like he said, you're not marrying just a person, right.
Speaker 1: I know you've fallen in love with the girl named Cinnamon.
Speaker 1: I get it. You're also going to be marrying Cinnamon's
Speaker 1: family and her dad gets paroled next year. How's that
Speaker 1: gonna work. It is hard. Kids screw things up. It's
Speaker 1: hard to find other families that share your values. Values
Speaker 1: are really, really important. Look, it's not just you, buddy,
Speaker 1: who's afraid of your daughter marrying a comie. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know why it didn't work out for her.
Speaker 1: She's on her fourth marriage and she's only twenty four.
Speaker 1: I really thought that drummer was gonna work. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: probably should have just set her up with somebody. But
Speaker 1: I have the same concerns for my sons. You know
Speaker 1: the effect women have on men. Nothing brings down men
Speaker 1: like money and women were just what. It turns us
Speaker 1: into idiots. Look, no, not pointing fingers, it's all of us.
Speaker 1: Turns us into freaking morons. Dimes turn us into morons.
Speaker 1: A as a son, what if he's what if my
Speaker 1: one brings home a stripper when he's twenty one? We're
Speaker 1: getting married? Did I ever tell you that story about
Speaker 1: my buddy Chris? Oh, oh gosh, I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: this story. Oh man, I'm gonna have to change a
Speaker 1: couple names in this one. I have to remember that
Speaker 1: the show's national now, so I have We're stationed in
Speaker 1: twenty nine Palms, California. We're in the infantry and nine
Speaker 1: to eleven has happened, so we're not. We didn't go
Speaker 1: right away to Iraq. Remember it was my Afghanistan and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But nine to eleven happened, so there starts to be
Speaker 1: this military build up. I have a friend who starts
Speaker 1: taking frequent trips down to Phoenix whenever we have a
Speaker 1: three day weekend or four day weekend, which were rare,
Speaker 1: but we'd have them, and he'd drive down to Phoenix
Speaker 1: and he'd come back and tell me, oh, Jesse, you
Speaker 1: gotta come down and have fun. What had happened was
Speaker 1: he had gotten to know a lady who works in
Speaker 1: a building without windows dancing. She was a dancer. And
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave it at that. This is a
Speaker 1: family show. It always will be if hopefully you're old
Speaker 1: enough to understand what I'm talking about. And he said,
Speaker 1: i've met her. I just this girl is the best.
Speaker 1: She's so much fun. And all her friends work there too.
Speaker 1: You and all the boys should come down and we'll
Speaker 1: have a big party. And obviously I did not need
Speaker 1: my arm twisted at the time. I said, I will
Speaker 1: be there, buddy, when don't we going to Phoenix. We
Speaker 1: go on down to Phoenix, and it sounds better than
Speaker 1: it is. I'll put it to you that way. It
Speaker 1: sounds better than it is. Even as a young man,
Speaker 1: you look around at one point and say to yourself, yeah,
Speaker 1: this little gross, but okay, whatever. You want to have
Speaker 1: a weekend, buddy, you want to go enjoy your new
Speaker 1: strip or girl or dancer girlfriend, that's fine. You go
Speaker 1: enjoy your girlfriend. I did not go back, but he
Speaker 1: did keep going back and keep going back and keep
Speaker 1: going back. And I think it was three or four months.
Speaker 1: I want to say it was three or four months.
Speaker 1: He's he's known this girl. He's been taking some trips.
Speaker 1: I would say, probably seeing her six seven times. Ever,
Speaker 1: and we get noticed we're going to deploy to Iraq.
Speaker 1: We are going to war. And when they do that,
Speaker 1: we had enough time to where they gave you a
Speaker 1: little bit of time off to go say you're goodbyes.
Speaker 1: Yeah you might not see your family, Every game might
Speaker 1: go die. You're gonna want to hang on for this one.
Speaker 1: You know, you're Eden pure thunderstorm kills viruses. I'm not
Speaker 1: making that up. It uses this thing. It's called sonic technology.
Speaker 1: It essentially creates what they call super oxygen in your home.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that happens in nature after a thunderstorm.
Speaker 1: You know how a thunderstore happens, and it essentially cleans
Speaker 1: the air of the environment. You get that in your home.
Speaker 1: The Eden Pure thunderstorm kills viruses in bacteria. You know why.
Speaker 1: It takes the odors out of the air. I don't
Speaker 1: mean covers them up. It's not that weird oil you

Speaker 1: of the air. It does that because it kills and
Speaker 1: stops the spread of mold in mildew. I'm not even

Speaker 1: seven seven three seven seven four three seven three Jesse
Speaker 1: at Jesse Kelly show dot com. I'll wrap up my
Speaker 1: story here speaking of arranged marriages. Marine war friend of mine,
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to deploy. We are given some time off,
Speaker 1: go say you goodbyes to your family, things like that.
Speaker 1: Get back from my time off. I had just gone
Speaker 1: to see my folks and my sister, you know, goodbye,
Speaker 1: Hopefully I see you again. That all that tearful goodbye stuff.
Speaker 1: You know what he'd done in his time off, He
Speaker 1: went and got married to his new dancer girlfriend. Dancer girlfriend.
Speaker 1: We deployed to Kuwait because the war hadn't started yet.
Speaker 1: This is pre war. We deployed at no Obviously we
Speaker 1: know the war is gonna kick off. So we go
Speaker 1: to Kuwait and we're doing all this training and stuff
Speaker 1: like that in Kuwait, and then finally word comes down.
Speaker 1: Resident Bush declares war, and off we go, and we
Speaker 1: take off into Iraq, and we crossed the border and
Speaker 1: we fight our way through the country and whatnot. But
Speaker 1: I want you to understand, in the very beginning of it,
Speaker 1: it was not our country yet. We didn't have control
Speaker 1: of it, so there weren't facilities like when you think
Speaker 1: about Iraq now you think about this big base and
Speaker 1: this big this. I mean, they have huge bases over
Speaker 1: there with taco bell and stuff. It's just we've been
Speaker 1: there so long. Once you're in a place for long enough,
Speaker 1: you start building up facilities and whatnot. Well, we had
Speaker 1: no facilities. It wasn't our country. We were busy taking
Speaker 1: it over. We were in Vadia. And part of the
Speaker 1: things that falls behind is mail. You're not making phone
Speaker 1: calls home, you're not texting anybody, then there's no mail.
Speaker 1: Don't know what's happening. We finally are in the country.
Speaker 1: I think I want to say a month. I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be off on the timeline, but we're in
Speaker 1: the country about a month and finally things had calmed
Speaker 1: down enough that the mail, which was far enough behind us,
Speaker 1: was starting to catch up, getting letters and things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my buddy got a letter. I think it was written
Speaker 1: about three weeks after we left. I may be off
Speaker 1: on the time, but I'm pretty close. About three weeks
Speaker 1: after we left, he got a letter from his new
Speaker 1: his new bride, informing him that she had a new
Speaker 1: roommate who was not a woman. Guys do really stupid
Speaker 1: things for hot women, really really stupid things for hot women.
Speaker 1: And look, it's not just dudes. I know women do
Speaker 1: stupid things for men that they're attracted to too. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no better example than that. I used a drummer
Speaker 1: example earlier. There's no better example than that than women
Speaker 1: who are hot for rock stars and throw themselves at
Speaker 1: rock stars, talk about a guaranteed disastrous life of drugs
Speaker 1: and disappointments and everything else, and they're never end up happy.
Speaker 1: They never end up happy. They always end up twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Oh my gosh, I need to settle down.
Speaker 1: What did I do? It works that way every single time,
Speaker 1: so women do it too. But I'm a supporter of
Speaker 1: arranged marriages. No, obviously, I'm not going to arrange any
Speaker 1: marriages for my sons. That's not our culture. I think
Speaker 1: it's the most underrated thing in the world. We have
Speaker 1: this family. It's a good family. It's a family that
Speaker 1: shares our values. Look looks like look son, looks like
Speaker 1: he's got a dime of a daughter. Looks I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to I'm gonna try to link you two up. What, Chris,
Speaker 1: do you people ever do arranged marriages? Was that ever
Speaker 1: part of Judaism? I know you don't do it now, Chris,
Speaker 1: I bet you it used to be part of it,
Speaker 1: because he's right, it was historically. I mean it was
Speaker 1: done a lot. Yeah, I mean everywhere it was done
Speaker 1: a lot. Oh you're gonna marry them? Why? Well, because
Speaker 1: it makes the most sense, Dear sombrero Jesse. I'm a
Speaker 1: part time professor of economics at a university and I'm
Speaker 1: tired of playing defense. I always kept topics that are
Speaker 1: political in nature out of the classroom, but I feel
Speaker 1: that has to change. I teach for fun and whiskey money,
Speaker 1: so losing this income really wouldn't affect by finances. My
Speaker 1: question is, were you in my shoes, what would you
Speaker 1: do subtly bring up topics to try and get students
Speaker 1: thinking long winded rants about how evil the dirty Commies
Speaker 1: are or something in between. Are there any topics topics
Speaker 1: you think would be especially effective? He says, please do
Speaker 1: not share his name, and I obviously will not share
Speaker 1: your name. One that's hilarious. We have an infiltrator in
Speaker 1: a university who doesn't need to keep his job. He
Speaker 1: just wants to figure out how to absolutely torpedo the communists.
Speaker 1: That may be my favorite email of all time. I
Speaker 1: would personally wouldn't go on long rants about it, because
Speaker 1: what we need is this. We need you there for
Speaker 1: a long time eating away at the underbelly of communism.
Speaker 1: We need you on the inside. You're in the university,
Speaker 1: you're in the belly of the beast. Brother, you take
Speaker 1: your time and make sure, I mean, look you can now,
Speaker 1: and then bring up a story about Oh, look, there's
Speaker 1: a mass grave. The people the communists killed in it.
Speaker 1: They ended up being really intolerant. Did you know they
Speaker 1: wanted to censor people. That's really bad for an economy. Anyway,
Speaker 1: back to dollars and cents and stuff like, Oh, I
Speaker 1: would be a devious, subtle monster. But then again, I
Speaker 1: also have impulse control problems, so I would want to
Speaker 1: be devious and slow. Let's just drip it out there,
Speaker 1: and then all at once something would happen in the
Speaker 1: news and I would just blow my top and I'd
Speaker 1: have that blood vessel pulsing in my forehead and I'd
Speaker 1: just go off on the Communies and I'd be fired
Speaker 1: that afternoon. But Chris, I don't know why you have
Speaker 1: to bring up old stuff, Chris, Chris said, the man
Speaker 1: who quit his job on a whim has impulse control issues.
Speaker 1: You don't say, First of all, I didn't quit my
Speaker 1: job on a whim. I've quit several jobs on a whim.
Speaker 1: That's totally different. That's totally different. What I'm looking finally
Speaker 1: worked out? What do you want to look? What have
Speaker 1: I told everybody? I tell you this all the time.
Speaker 1: It's not my job to tell you how to live.
Speaker 1: I personally do the best I can to try to
Speaker 1: live my life from the view of my deathbed. And
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be morbid. What I mean is,
Speaker 1: when I'm laying on my deathbed one day, what am
Speaker 1: I going to regret? What am I going to wish
Speaker 1: I'd have done? And when I face major decisions in
Speaker 1: my life, that's generally how I make the decisions. That's
Speaker 1: why I take big chances. Am I laying there on
Speaker 1: my death bed at sixty five or eighty five? Am
Speaker 1: I laying there on my deathbed saying to myself, oh, man,
Speaker 1: thank goodness I did another ten hours a week at
Speaker 1: the office. Or Am I going to say, man, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad I went to my son's baseball games. He
Speaker 1: appreciated that, and I can see it in his eyes.
Speaker 1: He appreciated that. Am I gonna say on my deathbed, woo,
Speaker 1: thank goodness? I did not take the big chance? And
Speaker 1: I played it safe. I don't even wonder what it
Speaker 1: would have been like had I chased my dream. I
Speaker 1: don't even care. I played it safe, and man, that
Speaker 1: feels good. As I'm laying here about to die, or
Speaker 1: am I going to lay on my deathbed and say
Speaker 1: to myself I swung for the fences every time I
Speaker 1: stepped up to the plate, and boy did I strike
Speaker 1: out a lot. But gosh, what a life. Remember we
Speaker 1: have the Governor of Nebraska coming up in about three minutes.
Speaker 1: But I want to die with some stories, and I
Speaker 1: want to die doing what I do all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine right now. I'm about to be forty
Speaker 1: here in a couple of months, Chris, I want already
Speaker 1: right now, I already do it. I think about my life,
Speaker 1: and you know what I do. I do that, and
Speaker 1: I shake my head because I think this life is insane.
Speaker 1: I have yet another thing I'm going to announce to
Speaker 1: you soon. I don't know exactly when it will be.
Speaker 1: I would guess in a week or two. I have
Speaker 1: yet another gigantic announcement. And I don't worry. It's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's not bad at all, not going anywhere, just it's
Speaker 1: this tank tough. I have another major announcement, and I
Speaker 1: think about that and everything else, and all the stupid
Speaker 1: things I've done, and the huge, humongous failures and then
Speaker 1: huge successes and then followed by failures, and I say
Speaker 1: to myself, what a sweet life, What a cool life?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I've almost died several times. I'm still here.
Speaker 1: What Chris, I'm still here? They didn't get me all right?
Speaker 1: Really quickly, Dear Sultan of the swamis who wins a
Speaker 1: gunfight between Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday and Clint Eastwood's William
Speaker 1: Money from The Unforgiven? And why dude, Doc Holiday, when's
Speaker 1: that fight? William Money sucked? Unforgiven sucked too. It was terror.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible movie. Clint Eastwood got his butt
Speaker 1: kicked the whole time. Finally at the end he gets
Speaker 1: hammered and starts killing people. The Unforgiven sucked. It had
Speaker 1: like ten good minutes in it. We're gonna get some
Speaker 1: hate mail from that anyway, Governor Nebraska. Next Jake's mint chew.
Speaker 1: It's the way you're gonna quit dipping. If you have
Speaker 1: been struggling to quit, or maybe you've even got into
Speaker 1: this place. And I'll tell you at one point and
Speaker 1: I was there too. Maybe you've gotten to this place
Speaker 1: of I can't do it, I can't quit. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna dip forever. I'm just gonna dip forever because I
Speaker 1: can't quit. Maybe you're in that place hear me out here.

Speaker 1: you to try one more thing. Go to Jake's Mintchew

Speaker 1: seven three seven seven four three seven three Jesse at
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly show dot com. We will get back to
Speaker 1: your questions in just a second, but we first want
Speaker 1: to welcome in the governor of the Great State of Nebraska,
Speaker 1: Pete Ricketts, Governor. Before we get into all the heavy stuff,
Speaker 1: the unforgiven, I say it's a criminally overrated western movie.
Speaker 1: No one wants to see Clint Eastwood get beat up
Speaker 1: the whole time, which he did in that movie. What
Speaker 1: say you, well, Jesse, I gotta tell you I heard
Speaker 1: you just a little bit before. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a really really slow moving movie end when it finally
Speaker 1: got interesting. So yeah, I wouldn't say it was one
Speaker 1: of Clint Eastwood's best work. Oh thank you, Governor. See
Speaker 1: this is why we have smart people on the show.
Speaker 1: All right. We had a guest on his name's Braxton
Speaker 1: mcco a few months ago, and he brought up something
Speaker 1: to me. I really hadn't looked into it at all.
Speaker 1: The federal government doing some thirty thirty land grab. Maybe
Speaker 1: I can't tell what it is. Will you explain it
Speaker 1: in a way that I can understand it and why
Speaker 1: it's so bad? Yeah? So, right after President Biden got inaugurated,
Speaker 1: he tasked the Department of the Interior to come back
Speaker 1: with a plan for how to set aside thirty percent
Speaker 1: of our land and thirty percent of our waters into
Speaker 1: conservation by the year twenty thirty. Now, the Department of
Speaker 1: the Interior is supposed to turn that over to the
Speaker 1: President as a plan. It's not a public document necessarily,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of questions about what this means,
Speaker 1: because frankly, the president does not have the constitutional authority
Speaker 1: to do this. And I'll tell you, in states like Nebraska,
Speaker 1: where ninety seven percent of our land is privately owned,
Speaker 1: we are concerned he's talking about. I mean, do you
Speaker 1: mean confiscating land to put it into conservation? Here in Nebraska,
Speaker 1: that would be devastating to our small towns, world communities.
Speaker 1: If you took thirty percent of our land and you
Speaker 1: put into conservation, how are you know, you know, schools
Speaker 1: and roads get funded with property taxes, How are those
Speaker 1: going to be paid for? How are you going to
Speaker 1: take that land? How are you going to confiscate that land?
Speaker 1: Are you going to do it for perpetual easements, which
Speaker 1: is essentially, you know, just again makes the land undevelopable developable,
Speaker 1: So that also is undermining our tax base. So we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions about this. In fact, I've
Speaker 1: worked with some of my fellow governors to send the
Speaker 1: President a letter asking for more clarification, and so far
Speaker 1: we've seen nothing from the administration as to what they
Speaker 1: actually mean by this. So it is something that is very,
Speaker 1: very concerning, and we here in Nebraska will fight against
Speaker 1: any attempt to you know, take away our property rights,
Speaker 1: to you know, undermine our way of life here in
Speaker 1: the state of Nebraska. So this is just another example
Speaker 1: some of the bad policies coming out of the Biden
Speaker 1: administration that we've got to push back against. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I might point out here in Nebraska, we've
Speaker 1: got us News of the the World reports just said we've
Speaker 1: got the six national sixth best natural environment in the country,
Speaker 1: the president's home state of Delaware sixth wors So we
Speaker 1: don't need the federal government coming here and tell us
Speaker 1: what to do. You know, our farmers and ranchers were
Speaker 1: the original conservationists, our Ogila Aquifer, which we're the largest
Speaker 1: rogate state in the country. We've got good water management,
Speaker 1: which within one foot of where it was in the
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. So we don't need the federal government coming
Speaker 1: to tell us what to do because we're going to
Speaker 1: take care of our state. And the President's home state
Speaker 1: isn't doing that. So I think that it's just not
Speaker 1: our example of federal overreach. They just need to mind
Speaker 1: their own business. Governor. Now, I granted you're a governor
Speaker 1: and I'm an idiot, so I please clarify something here.
Speaker 1: This doesn't sound legal. None of this sounds legal. How
Speaker 1: in the world does the federal government have the authority
Speaker 1: to even attempt something like this? Well, Jess, you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: The president has no authority to do this, and so
Speaker 1: that's why we're asking the question, Well, what do you
Speaker 1: think you're going to be doing it? How are you
Speaker 1: going to do it? Now? Theoretically, I suppose the president
Speaker 1: could go to the Congress and try and pass some
Speaker 1: sort of law, but we haven't seen what the president
Speaker 1: means by we want to set aside these you know
Speaker 1: this thirty percent into conservation, and so that's why we're
Speaker 1: asking these questions. We told them you don't have the
Speaker 1: authority to do it. And you know, when Obama when
Speaker 1: he was president, tried to push the waters of the
Speaker 1: US rule that was also outside the scope of what
Speaker 1: the EPA could do is unconstitutional. The state of Nebraska
Speaker 1: was one among several states that sued the EPA very
Speaker 1: successfully to get that rule blocked, And if the Biden
Speaker 1: administration is going to go forward with something that is
Speaker 1: unconstitutional or illegal, We're going to take them to court again,
Speaker 1: and I'm quite confident we'll be successful because they don't
Speaker 1: have the authority to do this by themselves. Governor. People
Speaker 1: are obviously frightened out there. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: people in this country, myself included, who think America is
Speaker 1: going down a pretty dangerous road, a road we've not
Speaker 1: traveled down before. The Second Amendment comes up a lot,
Speaker 1: It comes up a lot. How do the states like yours,
Speaker 1: great states like yours? How do you tackt your citizens
Speaker 1: when the federal government looks like they want to overreach
Speaker 1: in that area as well as a bunch of other areas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the first thing we do is continue to
Speaker 1: tell our story about why the Second Amendment is so important.
Speaker 1: I mean, our founders put this in the Constitution so
Speaker 1: that we would always be able to defend our rights,
Speaker 1: understanding that our rights come to us from God, that
Speaker 1: they are natural to us and not given to us
Speaker 1: by the federal government. So this was a way for
Speaker 1: us to protect ourselves from the federal government, and that's
Speaker 1: the most important thing that we had to remember. Practically speaking,
Speaker 1: what we have to do is continue to make sure
Speaker 1: that we're getting people engaged defending that Second Amendment. Right,
Speaker 1: I proclaimed Nebraska a sanctuary state for the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: We've gotten over eighty of our ninety three counties have
Speaker 1: done the same sort of thing. And again, what we'll
Speaker 1: be doing is if the President tries to pass laws
Speaker 1: that are outside the scope of what they can do,
Speaker 1: will be taking him to court. Again. I have no
Speaker 1: doubt that, given that this is in the Constitution, will
Speaker 1: be successful. And this is also where we have to
Speaker 1: continue to get people activated, get them engaged, make sure
Speaker 1: that they're contacting their representatives and the Congress and the Senate.
Speaker 1: And then of course ultimately when if you know, we
Speaker 1: have to take in the court, we will. But we
Speaker 1: got to, you know, in two years, we got to
Speaker 1: take over the Congress to prevent any sort of bad
Speaker 1: legislation from being passed, and then in four years find
Speaker 1: a new president governor. I like Nebraska. I know people
Speaker 1: out there like Nebraska. They like states like Texas and
Speaker 1: Nebraska and Florida and these these states that are they
Speaker 1: have the right values, but I worry about people moving
Speaker 1: to Nebraska and turning Nebraska into something it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: What can you do? Can you do anything to stop that? Well,
Speaker 1: we can't stop people from moving around the country, but
Speaker 1: I do think it's important to your point. We've seen
Speaker 1: this happen in other states. You know, when Californians fled
Speaker 1: California because of all the bad policies there and moved
Speaker 1: to Colorado, and then they voted for the same politicians
Speaker 1: who passed the same sort of bad policies and are
Speaker 1: getting the same sort of results. And what we got
Speaker 1: to do is this is why it's so important for
Speaker 1: us to get people energized. And you know, we talked
Speaker 1: about thirty by thirty just a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 1: We have been organizing. Why I say we, it's actually
Speaker 1: Nebraskas have been organizing town halls around the state to
Speaker 1: get people educated on this issue. And the town of Valentine,
Speaker 1: which has got about seventeen hundred people, four hundred people
Speaker 1: showed up. I mean, that's the kind of energies, energy
Speaker 1: and activist activation we need. Is yet people energize around
Speaker 1: these issues and educated about it and get them then
Speaker 1: to show up the you know, the voting booth when
Speaker 1: it comes to election time. So that's what we got
Speaker 1: to do. This is how we resolve things. It's by
Speaker 1: getting people turned out, getting them educating, giving to vote,
Speaker 1: and make sure that we don't let people come up
Speaker 1: from other states drive what's going on here in our state.
Speaker 1: Governor Rickards of Nebraska, thank you so much for joining
Speaker 1: us today. So I appreciate you very much. My pleasure, Jesse,
Speaker 1: thanks very much for having me on. Mister Steele, whatever oracle,
Speaker 1: honey badger to the leftists? Why do we have a
Speaker 1: new one, Chris? What? Anyway? The whole Israel Palestine situation
Speaker 1: has been going on forever. I would like you to
Speaker 1: explain why Israel is our ally. I do need you
Speaker 1: to understand this. If I was in a position of power,
Speaker 1: I would absolutely create an alliance with Israel, and if
Speaker 1: Israel was ever attacked, I would deploy anything and everything
Speaker 1: I could to defend Israel, solely based on the oppression
Speaker 1: of the Jews since forever. But how did the US
Speaker 1: become an ally of Israel? Does it stem from Wawa? Two?
Speaker 1: What do we gain from an alliance from Israel? My
Speaker 1: questions were lengthy, and I don't expect you to read
Speaker 1: all this. You can pick and choose. You can say
Speaker 1: my name, his name is Ryan. Okay, let's talk about Israel.
Speaker 1: Why we actually support Israel, why Israel an ally? Does
Speaker 1: Israel help us? So on and so forth. We will
Speaker 1: unpack that next. Why do you think all the Green
Speaker 1: Berets I have on my show, and Navy Seals and
Speaker 1: Air Force pjs and all these super ninja types, why
Speaker 1: do you think those guys, if you, if you follow
Speaker 1: them at all, always talk about their gear. Oh I
Speaker 1: got a new backpack, I got new shades, I got
Speaker 1: new this, I got you. Why do you think they
Speaker 1: always talk about their gear? Do you think they just
Speaker 1: like cool stuff? Okay, maybe that's part of it. I mean,
Speaker 1: ill that cool stuff too, But these are the guys
Speaker 1: who've been in combat a lot, and they know gear
Speaker 1: saves lives. Gear saves lives. When I tell you to
Speaker 1: get a custom holster from Northwest Retention Systems, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it because they're cool, although they are very cool.
Speaker 1: You should see all the flags I have on mine
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I'm telling you to go to Northwest Retention
Speaker 1: systems because it might save your life. Gota NW retention
Speaker 1: dot com. That's NW retention dot com used to code
Speaker 1: Jesse at checkout that gets you ten percent off. It
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly's Show on an ask Doctor Jesse Friday.
Speaker 1: Just again, another reminder if you missed any part of
Speaker 1: the show, including our history story on the First Opium War, today,
Speaker 1: you can catch the whole show on iHeart, Google, Spotify,
Speaker 1: and iTunes. On iTunes, leave a five star rating and
Speaker 1: leave a review talking about how handsome I am. As
Speaker 1: you'll see there like seven hundred of them. Chris, before
Speaker 1: I get to this Israel thing, play that Rachel Maddow clip,
Speaker 1: and I want you when you're listening to this. I
Speaker 1: understand you're probably not a big Rachel Maddow fan, but
Speaker 1: try to wrap your mind around the fact this is
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who think, like this,
Speaker 1: what have we done? It is an amazing thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: I will just tell you at a personal level, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry for Tatique speaking of all that in such personal
Speaker 1: terms with doctor Wilenski. But when I was talking to
Speaker 1: people to day about this new guidance and what to
Speaker 1: ask her, everybody had very personal feelings about it, and
Speaker 1: I realized I did too, and all these questions. Part
Speaker 1: of it is that I feel like I'm going to
Speaker 1: have to rewire myself so that when I see somebody
Speaker 1: out in the world who's not wearing a mask, I
Speaker 1: don't instantly think you are a threat, or you are selfish,
Speaker 1: or you were a COVID deniering what people think like that.
Speaker 1: We have, We've wired that to people's brains, that people
Speaker 1: have been walking around thinking like that. That is so
Speaker 1: just look, let's set everything else aside, left right, everything
Speaker 1: else from a national health standpoint, That is so bad
Speaker 1: for a country to have done that to a people.
Speaker 1: That is bad for a country. Shame on us, Shame
Speaker 1: on us for how we've handled this entire thing. That's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: We should have done a lot better than we did.
Speaker 1: That's embarrassing, all right. Is Israel our ally? Yes? And
Speaker 1: they are our ally for a couple of different reasons.
Speaker 1: One the more tangible reason too, well, it's a different
Speaker 1: reason that may be hard for you to hear, but
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not your mommy, I'm your daddy.
Speaker 1: On a tangible level, Israel's our ally because we share
Speaker 1: so many common enemies, so we're constantly sharing intelligence and
Speaker 1: we're doing joy military operations. There are actually multiple times
Speaker 1: out there where Israelis have saved the lives of American troops,
Speaker 1: especially on special operations missions and vice versa. By the way,
Speaker 1: that goes both ways, but that's one and it makes
Speaker 1: sense in that area to have a strong ally. You know,
Speaker 1: satellites and cell phones and cameras and things like that
Speaker 1: can't do everything. You still can't put a price on location.
Speaker 1: Because we have had such a problem with radical Islam.
Speaker 1: To have Israel over there gathering and passing on intel
Speaker 1: about the things they find, it saves lives. It saves
Speaker 1: a lot of lives now purely monetarily and militarily. There's
Speaker 1: no question we've given more than we've received. But they're
Speaker 1: a country of eight or nine million people and we're
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million. That's just going to be
Speaker 1: the relationship. You want to call it a big brother
Speaker 1: little brother thing or something like that. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Israelis to take that to take
Speaker 1: offense to that, but that's always going to be part
Speaker 1: of it. Another big part of it is they're a
Speaker 1: Jewish country, we're a Christian country. Again. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: everyone there's a Jew. I'm not saying everyone here's a Christian.
Speaker 1: But those two things are a fact and those two people,
Speaker 1: those two religions. While I understand there's been historic tension there,
Speaker 1: especially since you people killed Christ Chris, but I'll say
Speaker 1: it's this. I understand there's some historic tension there, but
Speaker 1: there's a kinship there and always will be there, just
Speaker 1: as always a kinship there. I remember my mom took
Speaker 1: a trip to Israel. My folks took a trip to
Speaker 1: Israel with their church, and a lot of churches do that,
Speaker 1: go you know, walking the footsteps of Jesus, go see
Speaker 1: you know the sea egality, this is where King David was.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just so much. There's so much there,
Speaker 1: and I remember my mom still talks about this moment
Speaker 1: a Jewish lady comes up to where and says, are
Speaker 1: you from America? Are you a Christian from America? My
Speaker 1: mom says yes, and the lady says, welcome home and
Speaker 1: turns around and walks away. I mean, there's just a
Speaker 1: kinship there. And I'm not saying you have to believe that.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you believe. I'm not your past,
Speaker 1: I'm not your dad. There is a kinship there and
Speaker 1: there always will be. As long as we are a
Speaker 1: Christian nation, there will be a kinship with Israel, who
Speaker 1: is a Jewish nation. That is just a fact. Jesse.
Speaker 1: People might commonly ask how many wolves would it take
Speaker 1: to defeat a raging male lion. This guy wants to
Speaker 1: know how many house cats would it take to defeat
Speaker 1: a massive, raging, rabid bull mastiff. Thirty, no question, thirty.
Speaker 1: Dear doctor Handsome, I currently live in rural Illinois, hours
Speaker 1: away from the communist hellhole they call shirak Aka Chicago.
Speaker 1: Me and my wife recently visited Montana. It was my
Speaker 1: first time, my wife's been many. She wants to move
Speaker 1: out there, and honestly, after being out there, I loved
Speaker 1: it and won it too. However, with all our families
Speaker 1: still stuck in Illinois, and with two young boys, one
Speaker 1: four and one four months, we feel obligated to let
Speaker 1: them grow up around their grandparents and other family members. However,
Speaker 1: getting them out of Illinois seems like the brighter option.
Speaker 1: I was in the Marine Corps station than le June
Speaker 1: and honestly didn't mind the Carolina Coast and your expert
Speaker 1: opinion which state would be your choice. We both liked
Speaker 1: the idea of Montana because of less people, however, less
Speaker 1: opportunities for the kids with the opposite in North Carolina
Speaker 1: or South Carolina. Thank you for your radio show. This
Speaker 1: world is blessed to hear your beautiful voice on the
Speaker 1: airways every day. Separate five. Brother, what Chris, He's being honest, Sorry,
Speaker 1: he says, I can say his name. His name is Andrew. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is actually a really tough one because, as you know,
Speaker 1: I moved to Montana when I was ten. I pretty
Speaker 1: much grew up there and I love it. And it's
Speaker 1: clean and it's beautiful and it's healthy, and your family
Speaker 1: activities are hiking and sledding and skiing and hunting and fishing,
Speaker 1: and it's just a really really cool place to live.
Speaker 1: But I love the Carolinas too, man. I love North Carolina,
Speaker 1: I love South Carolina. I love the Carolina Coast. If
Speaker 1: it were me, because of the way the nation's going
Speaker 1: right now, though, I will tell you I would pick
Speaker 1: one over the other. I'll tell you what that is
Speaker 1: in a second. One in three adults has pre diabetes
Speaker 1: one in three. That means it could be you, your
Speaker 1: football buddy, your fruitball buddy, or you your best man,
Speaker 1: your worst man. You you're a dogwalker, your cat jugger.
Speaker 1: While one in three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis,
Speaker 1: pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at
Speaker 1: do I have pre Diabetes dot org? That's do I
Speaker 1: have pre diabetes dot org? Wait? Did they just say
Speaker 1: one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three
Speaker 1: point three three three three percent of adults. That means
Speaker 1: it could be me my boss or my boss's boss,
Speaker 1: or me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's
Speaker 1: seven members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait,
Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol,
Speaker 1: or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm gonna take the risk
Speaker 1: test that do I have pre diabetes dot org? Brought
Speaker 1: to you by the AD Council and it's pre Diabetes
Speaker 1: Awareness Partners. It is the Jesse Kelly Show, Where would
Speaker 1: I Move? Look? This is me personally. I understand people
Speaker 1: have different extended families, and I've always thought it was
Speaker 1: really cool the people that have extended families that they
Speaker 1: live around, and you're always at Grandpa's or the cousins.
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. I never really had that, not
Speaker 1: too much of it, but I always thought that's cool.
Speaker 1: So I'm not I can't speak to your family situation.
Speaker 1: I'd go to Montana, man, I'd go to Montana. You
Speaker 1: want to talk about a vast place. But allow me
Speaker 1: to caution you, and I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1: I live in Illinois. I know about the cold, brother,
Speaker 1: No you don't. You don't know about the cold in
Speaker 1: winter just yet, but you're going to find out. It
Speaker 1: used to snow on me on the fourth of July
Speaker 1: in Montana. It's just a wild, rough place and your
Speaker 1: boys are going to love it. All right, crazy week
Speaker 1: next week, But don't worry. We got an announcement coming.
Speaker 1: That's all the Jesse Kelly show. Your holster is way
Speaker 1: more important than you think it is. It's just way
Speaker 1: more important than you think it is. What look and
Speaker 1: I get that the holster's not the sexy part of
Speaker 1: carrying firearms. All right. You want to talk about your
Speaker 1: weapon and your ammunition. You want to talk about your
Speaker 1: safety training. You want to talk about how you did
Speaker 1: at the range. I'll look at my groups. I was
Speaker 1: doing these failure drills today, and all that stuff is
Speaker 1: really important. I mean, really really important. I'm not discounting that,
Speaker 1: but I've known so many people who do all those things.
Speaker 1: They take all the necessary steps, and then they carry
Speaker 1: with a holster they bought from a big box hunting
Speaker 1: store that was made a thousand at a time. Please
Speaker 1: don't put your life in one of those holsters. You
Speaker 1: need to trust Northwest Retention Systems because it's all custom
Speaker 1: made gear. It's the only thing I carry around NW
Speaker 1: retention dot Com. That's NW retention dot Com used to
Speaker 1: promo co Jesse gets you ten percent off
