Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Friday. It's
Speaker 1: an ask Doctor Jesse Friday, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: such a great day to day. Yes, I will talk
Speaker 1: about the jobs numbers. We're gonna touch on that it's bad.
Speaker 1: I realized that it's bad, and we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: why it's bad. Why you can't find a job. But
Speaker 1: they say the market's doing well. We'll address that tonight.
Speaker 1: We have asked Doctor Jesse questions on everything from history. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do Battle of Midway Talk tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do a little Battle of Midway talk a little.
Speaker 1: Don't get your hopes up as nothing like last night,
Speaker 1: my last meal. Why does it feel like everything's rotting
Speaker 1: around us? The oceans that have always protected us? Are
Speaker 1: they still protecting us? What's going to happen if Trump wins?
Speaker 1: Is that enough of a disincentive for the left in insanity? Oh?
Speaker 1: That and so much more coming up tonight on the
Speaker 1: world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Before we get to the questions,
Speaker 1: I want to go ahead and knock this out right
Speaker 1: off the top jobs numbers came in, unemployments up or
Speaker 1: look it's bad. Okay, the economy is bad. It doesn't
Speaker 1: look good. And once again we have a number, and
Speaker 1: this is it for native born workers, native born Americans,
Speaker 1: American citizens, they're down six hundred and sixty three thousand jobs.
Speaker 1: Foreign born workers illegals may mainly illegals, but foreign workers
Speaker 1: are up four hundred and fourteen thousand jobs. American citizens
Speaker 1: have lost over six hundred thousand. Foreign born workers are
Speaker 1: down four hundred thousand. And this is the gigantic disconnect
Speaker 1: between the economists, the media people, the politicians in DC,
Speaker 1: and the actual American citizen. So let's talk about what's
Speaker 1: happening on a bigger level. Why does it feel to
Speaker 1: you to me like the economy's bad, Like economically financially
Speaker 1: we're in a bad place. Yet every single day you
Speaker 1: turn on the news and some Apparatrick on CNN is
Speaker 1: talking about how great things are. And I don't understand
Speaker 1: why these Americans are complaining. What are they complaining about?
Speaker 1: There's none that Look at the stock market, stock markets
Speaker 1: up and we're creating new jobs. What's happening? All right,
Speaker 1: Let's first do what we love to do. The most
Speaker 1: not individual stories. Let's zoom out. Let's go thirty thousand
Speaker 1: feet on a thirty thousand foot level, the country is
Speaker 1: being taken away from you. I know that sounds maybe dramatic, melodramatic,
Speaker 1: but every metric proves that to be the case. The
Speaker 1: American citizen, the American citizen, he is viewed by the
Speaker 1: corporate leaders, the globalist corporate leaders we have, by the
Speaker 1: politicians in the Democrat Party and the leaders of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party, by all the elites in our society. They
Speaker 1: view the American citizen, now, the native born American citizen,
Speaker 1: at best, he's kind of annoying or at least somebody
Speaker 1: to be ignored. At worst, they view him as the enemy,
Speaker 1: as the enemy, as hostile to who they are. And
Speaker 1: this takes many, many, many different forms. So, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's focus on the corporate American form. Will set aside
Speaker 1: the politicians for a moment. Focus on corporate America, and
Speaker 1: this can get that. We're not going to get two
Speaker 1: in the weeds here, We're just kind of doing a
Speaker 1: zoom out of it. Let's take a company, a company
Speaker 1: you would consider maybe American or at least formerly American.
Speaker 1: You know, here's a great example, because you don't buy
Speaker 1: it anymore, at least I hope Budweiser and iSER Busch,
Speaker 1: what happened? What has happened over the years, Because Budweiser
Speaker 1: was America baby started by the Americans started. This is
Speaker 1: an American company, Budweiser. Over the decades, businesses will want
Speaker 1: to expand, that's what they do. They'll want to grow,
Speaker 1: they'll move on. Family businesses will cease being family businesses
Speaker 1: as the kids and their kids after them and their
Speaker 1: kids after them have less of an affinity for the business.
Speaker 1: They like the money. Hey, I like the yacht, the
Speaker 1: private jets. I'm not all that into all the work thing.
Speaker 1: And slowly, but surely, over time these businesses have ceased
Speaker 1: being American businesses and they've become global businesses. Budwiser was
Speaker 1: sold to I believe it was a Swedish company. If
Speaker 1: I remember right, it's certainly European. It was not America. Gme,
Speaker 1: if I remember it, I'm doing this off the top
Speaker 1: of my head. Budwiser was sold off. It's not even
Speaker 1: American anymore, not owned by Americans anymore. Okay, so now
Speaker 1: you're this global corporation. You're not an American corporation. You're
Speaker 1: a global corporation. You purchase Budweiser, all right, Well, what
Speaker 1: affinity do you have to Americans or American citizens? You
Speaker 1: don't have any of that. You're a jigantic global company.
Speaker 1: You buy companies all over the planet. What matters to
Speaker 1: you The bottom line, baby, that's all that matters to you.
Speaker 1: And that's fine if you run a business that way.
Speaker 1: But what happens is when you only care about that
Speaker 1: and the leaders of your company have no affinity to Americans,
Speaker 1: you will get a situation where American citizens are crowded
Speaker 1: out and pushed out of the job market. Now how
Speaker 1: does that happen. Well, the gigantic corporations, the Budweisers of
Speaker 1: the world, they go to the politicians, Democrats and Republican
Speaker 1: leaders and they sit Joe Biden down, and they sit
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell down, and they say, hey, we just started
Speaker 1: Budweiser pack. I'm making this up and it's very very
Speaker 1: similar to how it goes. We just started bud pack
Speaker 1: and I want you to know, Joe, we got one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for your reelection campaign. Getting ready get
Speaker 1: ready the Budweiser money's coming. Joe. Hey, Mitch, we got
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars coming for your campaign. But ah,
Speaker 1: just the heads up though, guys, Mmmm, we kind of
Speaker 1: need we need some different workers. You see. We have
Speaker 1: these American workers, and I mean they're fine, they work hard,
Speaker 1: and it's great, and they speak English and all that.
Speaker 1: But gosh, if we could bring in I don't know,
Speaker 1: five ten thousand people from India, Mexico, we could pay
Speaker 1: them a lot less. Our bottom line looks good, Your
Speaker 1: campaign coffers look good. Everybody wins here, don't they, Joe,
Speaker 1: don't they? Mitch. It's a win for me, it's a
Speaker 1: win for you. And so where does that go from there?
Speaker 1: Remember it was like fifteen minutes ago James Langford and
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell came up with a huge amnesty plan that
Speaker 1: kept the border open and amnesty in a bunch of illegals.
Speaker 1: You see, the country is being torn from the hands
Speaker 1: of the American citizen, is being handed to global corporation
Speaker 1: and immigrants, mostly illegal immigrants. I should point out we're
Speaker 1: not talking legal immigrants here, who make up They don't
Speaker 1: make up as much of the workforce as people think.
Speaker 1: But even that, even that, when we're talking about visas
Speaker 1: and things like that, even that can be bad. Remember
Speaker 1: there was a story a few years back. Maybe you
Speaker 1: remember this, maybe you don't. It ended up being a
Speaker 1: controversy that hit the head minds Disney that Solis LGBTQ company. Disney,
Speaker 1: they brought in I think the number was twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that, but I'm almost positive that's right.
Speaker 1: They brought in twenty five hundred people. I believe it
Speaker 1: was from India, but I'm not sure. They brought in
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred foreigners. And what were they doing. They
Speaker 1: brought in twenty five hundred foreigners, They had twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred American employees trained the twenty five hundred foreigners to
Speaker 1: replace themselves. They trained the foreigners, hired the foreigners, fired
Speaker 1: the Americans, twenty five hundred Americans out of work, twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred foreigners full time employment in the United States
Speaker 1: of America for an American company like Disney. Now that's
Speaker 1: more just some examples. They are kind of a thirty
Speaker 1: thousand foot view. But if you want to know why
Speaker 1: your college graduate son, your college graduate daughter got good grades,
Speaker 1: great work ethic, good manners. You want to know why
Speaker 1: they've put in two three, four hundred resumes and can't
Speaker 1: get a callback. They're not interesting that in you American,
Speaker 1: your son, your daughter will probably probably want a decent wage.
Speaker 1: Why would they want to pay your son or your
Speaker 1: daughter a decent wage. They'll go get click click from
Speaker 1: Guyana or wherever, and they'll pay him pennies on the dollar.
Speaker 1: Your son, your daughter is a burden. You see. I
Speaker 1: told you about that story when I was talking to
Speaker 1: my neighbor a couple of weeks ago, and I got
Speaker 1: a bunch of emails of people going through this. After
Speaker 1: I talked to you, talk to you about it. His
Speaker 1: son graduated with perfection in grades. Hard worker, polite. I
Speaker 1: know the kid, hard worker, polite, wonderful. He is currently despondent.
Speaker 1: He put in two hundred applications and got one phone
Speaker 1: call back. But the stock market, of course, looks great.
Speaker 1: And why does the stock market look great? Because they've
Speaker 1: killed all the small businesses. They wiped out a third
Speaker 1: of small businesses in this country during the pandemic. But
Speaker 1: that business didn't go away. It got hoovered up by
Speaker 1: all these large Fortune five hundred companies, and now that's
Speaker 1: all the stock market is. The stock market is Microsoft,
Speaker 1: it's Google, it's Blackrock, it's this, it's that. The stock
Speaker 1: market is these gigantic corporations. And yeah, the stock market
Speaker 1: looks great because it's Google and Google's doing fine. So
Speaker 1: the economists, the media nerds, they sit down, they look
Speaker 1: at the economy and they're saying, what why are these
Speaker 1: people whining. We've got a net positive in jobs, so
Speaker 1: that stock market's up. These stupid Americans don't know what's
Speaker 1: best for them. In the meanwhile, you can't afford groceries.
Speaker 1: Your son just moved back in with ufter you sunk
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars on a college education. He can't find
Speaker 1: a job, you can't make ends meet, and these people
Speaker 1: go on television and scold you every day about how
Speaker 1: good you have it. And this is being done the country,
Speaker 1: not just the economy, the country itself is being torn
Speaker 1: from the hands of those troublesome Americans and handed to
Speaker 1: global corporations and immigrants. That's why you think it sucks.
Speaker 1: And they're like, hey, it's great, that's what you see.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. We got some emails here Jesse.
Speaker 1: I was watching Band of Brothers on D Day and thought,
Speaker 1: I need to double my tongue Cat one hundred subscription
Speaker 1: on my Vitality Stack. But I have to make sure
Speaker 1: I get the Jesse Kelly thirty five percent off. I
Speaker 1: texted the request to a Chalk customer service and got
Speaker 1: a reply in two minutes. Subscription updated. Here's your new price.
Speaker 1: Have a nice day, all while the band played on
Speaker 1: Best Customer Service Experience Ever. He says, I never thought
Speaker 1: I needed Chalk until I decided to give it a
Speaker 1: try and see an Oh my total game changer for
Speaker 1: me at age fifty two. Mental sharpness was probably the
Speaker 1: biggest surprise for the recommendation, and thanks to Chuck for
Speaker 1: a great product. His name is David. I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you, David. When I started taking a male Vitality Stack,
Speaker 1: I started taking it just because Chalk partnered with the show.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I was having any problems. Everything
Speaker 1: was fine. But that is honestly, that's probably the thing
Speaker 1: that has floored me to most my mind. I am
Speaker 1: so much sharper. It's like I didn't know I was
Speaker 1: in a fog. It feels like it's been lifted. Chalk
Speaker 1: dot com. Gentlemen, natural herbal supplements, Male Vitality Stack, get
Speaker 1: it in your veins. Choq dot com. Promo code Jesse.
Speaker 1: We'll be back Truth attitude, Jesse Kelly. It is the
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and ask doctor Jesse Friday.
Speaker 1: You can email us if you want. We are live
Speaker 1: here Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com, and we are
Speaker 1: about to tackle these questions. I just wanted to go
Speaker 1: over some of this job market stuff. And I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you look at the unemployment rate. For the first time
Speaker 1: since January of twenty two, it hit four percent, Yes,
Speaker 1: four percent. That's not good anyway, Jesse, please remember and
Speaker 1: remind folks the fourth the fourth through the seventh of
Speaker 1: June nineteen forty two, the Battle of Midway, our first
Speaker 1: decisive victory in the Pacific theater. I okay, all right,
Speaker 1: let's let's cover this here. I'll probably touch on Midway
Speaker 1: a little bit next hour. I am I'm really blown away.
Speaker 1: I'm really blown away at how much you enjoyed all
Speaker 1: that D Day talk. Last night. Jewish producer Chris told
Speaker 1: me he stopped printing the emails at some point in time.
Speaker 1: That's how much you loved that. The email is just
Speaker 1: poured in. I'm glad you loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was an honor to do it. If you missed it,
Speaker 1: last night show was different. Probably the first hour and
Speaker 1: a half of the show. There wasn't even any politics.
Speaker 1: More than an hour and a half, Chris, Oh dang,
Speaker 1: more than an hour and a half. There wasn't even
Speaker 1: any politics. We told a d Day story about the
Speaker 1: Second Ranger Battalion and whatnot. I'm blown away and I'm
Speaker 1: flattered that you enjoyed it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got all kinds of emails like this. Hello, mister Kelly.
Speaker 1: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sarah and
Speaker 1: I'm a forty two year old single white woman who
Speaker 1: lives in Tampa with her cat. I love this girl.
Speaker 1: I am also a diehard anti communist. Listen to your podcast,
Speaker 1: to your show in the morning when I'm getting ready
Speaker 1: for work. It's a great way to start my day.
Speaker 1: Had the privilege of meeting you in the book tour,
Speaker 1: first time I ever met a world famous author. I'm
Speaker 1: also history teacher. I love while I love the political
Speaker 1: aspect of the show. I learned so much in the
Speaker 1: short time I've been listening. My favorite part is anytime
Speaker 1: you do anything history related, She's gonna incorporate that more
Speaker 1: lessons into her school next year, which is really really
Speaker 1: freaking cool. Good for you, Good for you, lady. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she said, my question is when did you start loving history?
Speaker 1: Did you have a teacher that impacted you? Thanks for
Speaker 1: all you do to keep us informed, and thank you
Speaker 1: to Jewish producer Chris and producer Michael for your hard
Speaker 1: job of keeping Jesse focused on what he's doing. You
Speaker 1: are both the winners. But my focus is just stay focused. Yeah, listen.
Speaker 1: As I've said many many times before, every single person
Speaker 1: loves history. Everybody loves history. Some people just haven't figured
Speaker 1: it out yet, meaning they don't know that they love
Speaker 1: it yet. When people learn history in school, not all
Speaker 1: the time, but oftentimes, or they watch a podcast or
Speaker 1: a documentary, anything involving history, its names and its dates
Speaker 1: and its locations. It's General Wayne Wright. He met with
Speaker 1: his captain Bob, and his mother Angela and their sister
Speaker 1: in law Mike, on June twelfth, nineteen forty two, in Bisbee, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, who cares? History is stories? And maybe
Speaker 1: you have a different kind of history you like. It
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be war history or battles. Or maybe
Speaker 1: it's art history, music history, language history, American history, African history,
Speaker 1: Chinese history. There's so much of it out there. You
Speaker 1: love history, you probably just don't know it yet. And
Speaker 1: the answer your question for all of you teachers out there,
Speaker 1: not just history teachers. Look, a good teacher can change
Speaker 1: the entire course of the rest of your life. You
Speaker 1: realize that you good teachers. And I know there are
Speaker 1: really good teachers who listen to the show. I've met you,
Speaker 1: you email in you, and you probably will never know. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you probably will never know. And I'm sad to say
Speaker 1: the man I'm about to mention will never know. But
Speaker 1: I had a histy street teacher. It was the sixth grade,
Speaker 1: and up to that point I hated history too like
Speaker 1: everyone else. Oh gosh, here we go again. And all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this giant man, he was the defensive
Speaker 1: coach on the football team for the high school. He
Speaker 1: walks in with this long stick and starts slapping the
Speaker 1: whiteboard and talking about Spartan stabbing people in the face,
Speaker 1: and he's animated and he's going crazy. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what, you couldn't pry sixth grade Jesse out of
Speaker 1: that chair. I would have sat there for eight hours
Speaker 1: and listened to that guy tell me stories about history.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be history, teachers, If you
Speaker 1: are putting that kind of time and effort in, it
Speaker 1: makes more of an impact than you will ever know.
Speaker 1: And even if it's just one kid, and it'll be
Speaker 1: way more than one. Even if it's just one kid,
Speaker 1: A great teacher, a great coach. This applies to coaches,
Speaker 1: you little league coaches and things like that. One great
Speaker 1: adult and a child's life can chair change everything. And
Speaker 1: so I know everyone thinks I hate government schools, and
Speaker 1: I do. But for all you good teachers out there,
Speaker 1: private and government, good for you. All. Right now, someone
Speaker 1: wants to know, Jesse. Why does it feel like we're
Speaker 1: trying to bail water from the ocean? So much looks
Speaker 1: very bleak for our country. How close are we to
Speaker 1: Germany pre World War One? Okay, let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: Are you in that place? Why is it this is hopeless?
Speaker 1: It feels like we can't do it. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: that in a very real way. Maybe this will make
Speaker 1: you feel better, Maybe it to make it feel worse.
Speaker 1: All right, If it makes you feel worse, that's fine.
Speaker 1: You still have your MyPillow stuff to sleep in tonight.
Speaker 1: You'll get a good night's sleep, no matter how it
Speaker 1: makes you feel. And I know, I know that you're
Speaker 1: just dripping with my Pillow stuff right now, right because
Speaker 1: you have taken advantage of the twenty five dollars extravaganza sale. Right.
Speaker 1: Twenty five dollars extravaganza sales don't come along every day.
Speaker 1: I've never seen one before. My Pillow took a list
Speaker 1: of their best products and they put a twenty five
Speaker 1: dollars price tag on them. Two packs of multi use
Speaker 1: my Pillows twenty five bucks, My Pillow Sandals twenty five bucks,
Speaker 1: My Pillow six piece towel sets twenty five bucks. And
Speaker 1: the Grand Pooba, the Big Cheese, the Great My Pillow,
Speaker 1: the new one with the Giza fabric any size, twenty
Speaker 1: five bucks. MyPillow dot Com. Click on the radio listeners
Speaker 1: special square and use the promo code Jesse, or you
Speaker 1: can call them eight hundred eight four five zero five
Speaker 1: four four are we bailing water from the ocean? Hang
Speaker 1: on truth attitude? Jesse Kelly it is the Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: Show on a Friday and asked doctor Jesse Friday, member,
Speaker 1: if you miss any part of the show, you can
Speaker 1: down the I know the whole thing on iart, Spotify iTunes.
Speaker 1: If you missed our long d Day history show we
Speaker 1: did last night, that's where you can find it. I Art,
Speaker 1: Spotify iTunes. It's all free. Remember all the podcasts, it's free.
Speaker 1: The show is free. That's how I want it done,
Speaker 1: and that's how I prefer it to stay forever. There
Speaker 1: are kind of two different ways you can do this.
Speaker 1: You can have an advertiser supported show people consume for free,
Speaker 1: or you can have no advertisers and have some kind
Speaker 1: of paid subscription. I just don't want to I don't
Speaker 1: want to force people to pay money for this stuff.
Speaker 1: So there, that's why we're doing it the way we're
Speaker 1: doing it. I'm gonna get to bailing water from the
Speaker 1: ocean because someone's a little despondent about where we're at
Speaker 1: and as a country feels a little hopeless. I'll get
Speaker 1: to him in a second. But I was just talking
Speaker 1: to Chris about this. Chris and Michael during the break
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that waffle House breakfast is elite. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: that that's not exactly some breaking news thing. Waffle House
Speaker 1: breakfast is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal, as good as it gets.
Speaker 1: What most don't know, but the menu whisperer does know.
Speaker 1: The menu whisper would be me for you new listeners.
Speaker 1: I'm the greatest orderer of food on the planet. What Chris,
Speaker 1: The waffle House cheeseburger is one of the top five
Speaker 1: restaurant cheeseburgers on the planet. Get some of the special
Speaker 1: waffle House mayo. It's a Chipotle mayo. I hate to
Speaker 1: give away their secrets, but get some of the waffle Hell,
Speaker 1: it's even Chris says, it's good. Chris doesn't even like mayo.
Speaker 1: Get some of that waffle House mayo on there. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: add bacon to it, Hey, Chris, not for you, but
Speaker 1: everyone who's not Jewish adds some bacon to it. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, as good as it gets. Now, let's get
Speaker 1: back to the heavier stuff. This was the ask Doctor Jesse,
Speaker 1: question Dictator Jesse, what does it feel like we're trying
Speaker 1: to bail water from the ocean. So much looks very
Speaker 1: bleak for our country as a whole. How close are
Speaker 1: we to Germany pre World War One? Very concerning and
Speaker 1: close to depressing? Very little hope. Okay, Well, allow me
Speaker 1: to take away all of your hope and then give
Speaker 1: you some some different hope. See, hope is one of
Speaker 1: those funny things. And there have been a million stories
Speaker 1: written about hope where hope is the central theme, Warnings
Speaker 1: about hope, cheering, hope, hope's bad, hope's good, hope's good,
Speaker 1: have all all these other things. But here's the truth.
Speaker 1: Hope is wonderful as long as your hope is in
Speaker 1: the right things. Hope is awful, disastrous, a horrible, horrible
Speaker 1: way to live if your hope is in the wrong
Speaker 1: things or things that can't happen or won't happen. It's
Speaker 1: all a matter of figuring out where to place your hope. Now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it as a country. And you know
Speaker 1: this is me. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you right between the eyes
Speaker 1: and just just stay with me, because I think you'll
Speaker 1: probably feel better at the end of this when it
Speaker 1: comes to the United States of America, the country I
Speaker 1: so love. I would die for it. Still to this day,
Speaker 1: I can't help it. I love my country. I'm the
Speaker 1: dorc who still gets misty when the national anthem plays.
Speaker 1: You know, last night on that d Day show, when
Speaker 1: we played that Army Ranger that salts the old Army Ranger,
Speaker 1: when we played a couple times on the show, we
Speaker 1: played him singing this Ranger ballad. When I first saw
Speaker 1: that at my house, I was at the house doing
Speaker 1: some prep work for the show so I could give
Speaker 1: you a good history story. I got choked up. This
Speaker 1: is me. I don't cry. I got choked up. I
Speaker 1: love my country. That said country is I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say on the back end, We're not gonna be gone
Speaker 1: in a couple of years. I'm not saying that at all.
Speaker 1: But nations empires, they don't last forever. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how big they are, how wonderful they are, how powerful
Speaker 1: they are. Look you like history. I like history. Even
Speaker 1: if you hate it. You at least know history empires,
Speaker 1: even ones that look like they can never die. If
Speaker 1: you had told people the Roman Empire at the height
Speaker 1: of its power, if you told them that that empire
Speaker 1: was one hundred years away from the Vandals kicking down
Speaker 1: the gates of Rome, they would have they probably would
Speaker 1: have put you in whatever the ancient Roman version of
Speaker 1: an asylum was, because nobody would ever believe it can't happen.
Speaker 1: We are Rome, the British Empire. I will set the
Speaker 1: Romans aside. The British Empire, honestly, leading up to World
Speaker 1: War Two was still huge territories all over the place India,
Speaker 1: you know, just huge, this massive, massive empire. And if
Speaker 1: you had told people, yeah, right about the Revolutionary war time,
Speaker 1: if you had told people this British Empire would shrink
Speaker 1: in just a relatively short amount of time, in a
Speaker 1: couple hundred years, the British Empire, it's gonna kind of
Speaker 1: be an island in the crappy North Atlantic. And that's
Speaker 1: about it. They would have thought you were insane. But
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. That's how it goes, and that's
Speaker 1: how it's going for us. We for a laundry list
Speaker 1: of reasons we lost our way, but maybe the easiest,
Speaker 1: most simple explanation is time got to us the way
Speaker 1: time has gotten to every empire. All these empires that
Speaker 1: begin to fade and crumble and go away. Yes, there
Speaker 1: are similarities. There are always the lack of patriotism from
Speaker 1: the people who lead the empires as one of those things,
Speaker 1: that is, it is constant throughout all of them, almost
Speaker 1: every one of them. They share that in common. You
Speaker 1: see that now with ours. There's no love of country
Speaker 1: there in these people. So there are common traits, but
Speaker 1: they all have their own story. Eventually, time gets to you.
Speaker 1: The United States of America is in a very very
Speaker 1: bad way. And trust me, I'm gonna follow this up
Speaker 1: with some hope. Believe me. Just stay with me. We
Speaker 1: are in a terrible way. And to answer kind of
Speaker 1: your question, no, I do not believe we will get
Speaker 1: the band back together again. The United States of America,
Speaker 1: fifty States Constitution, all those things. I believe it is
Speaker 1: gone and it will never return. I don't believe it
Speaker 1: can return. You can't have this many people, especially this
Speaker 1: many leaders in your society, hate the society and then
Speaker 1: patch it back up again. You're not in election away
Speaker 1: from having everything, all the wrongs be righted. That's not possible. Honestly,
Speaker 1: people will put that because Trump creates this love in
Speaker 1: people because he's so charismatic, people will put that on him.
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, that's unfair to Trump.
Speaker 1: There's no man alive who has ever lived, actually, who
Speaker 1: could walk into the White House in this country, in
Speaker 1: this situation and get things right. Not in four years,
Speaker 1: not in eight years, not in twelve years. It's not possible.
Speaker 1: You're asking, you're wanting something from someone that they can't
Speaker 1: possibly do. The fifty state United States of America is gone.
Speaker 1: That does not mean all hope is lost. That does
Speaker 1: not mean it's over. That does not mean your life
Speaker 1: is going to be ruined or awful, or the lives
Speaker 1: of your children or their children after them. What it
Speaker 1: means is we have to begin placing our hope in
Speaker 1: different things. We have to begin adjusting our expectations for
Speaker 1: what our lives, our country, and everything else. Looks like.
Speaker 1: Our problem is now and I suffer from this too. Okay,
Speaker 1: our problem is now. We love this place so much
Speaker 1: that we have a hard time accepting certain realities. Now,
Speaker 1: let's set all that aside. That was the ugly part
Speaker 1: of it. Let's talk about the good part of it.
Speaker 1: Because there is a lot good, there's a lot bad.
Speaker 1: No question. But there is a lot good now that
Speaker 1: I brought everybody down, let's bring you back up. All right?
Speaker 1: Speaking of bringing you back up, the dog is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Do you want to know the text message I just got.
Speaker 1: My mom just hit town. She's visiting for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Hang out with me? Or who am I kidding? She's
Speaker 1: not here to hang out with me, She's here to
Speaker 1: hang out with the kids and the dog. Fred. Fred
Speaker 1: loves my mom. She loves Fred. She shows up with
Speaker 1: toys for the dog and no toys for anyone. I'm
Speaker 1: not making this up. She'll walk in with toys for
Speaker 1: the dog. I'm not even kidding. And when she leaves,
Speaker 1: he's just despondent. He'll lay by the front door for
Speaker 1: a couple days wanting her to come back. And if
Speaker 1: that wasn't bad enough, my mom sends a text message
Speaker 1: as soon as she hits town. This just happened. She
Speaker 1: sends a text message that I just landed at the
Speaker 1: airport and I kid you not. My sister texts back,
Speaker 1: this is verbatim. I'm looking at it. Have fun, send
Speaker 1: pictures of Fred. That was the request, dog pictures. This
Speaker 1: is what this fluffy idiot has done to the entire family.
Speaker 1: This is why we fred Roffgreens because everyone loves him,
Speaker 1: including me. He's just look, that's what dogs do for us.
Speaker 1: They make our lives better. Start your dog on Roughgreens
Speaker 1: so your dog can live longer. That's what Roughgreens is
Speaker 1: eight three three three three my dog or roughgreens dot
Speaker 1: com slash Jesse. This is a Jesse Kelly show. It
Speaker 1: is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday, and ask
Speaker 1: doctor Jesse Friday. We're talking about the state of America
Speaker 1: right now and digging into this stuff. And someone says,
Speaker 1: we're trying to build water from the ocean, and I
Speaker 1: just kind of laid it out in a very extremely
Speaker 1: heavy one, as heavy as ten boxes, that you might
Speaker 1: be moving where I feel like we are as a country,
Speaker 1: And no, I don't feel like we're getting the band
Speaker 1: back together again. However, However, that was that. Now, let's
Speaker 1: set that aside. Just because your life, in my life,
Speaker 1: in the lives of my children and your children and
Speaker 1: their children after them, just because it will look different
Speaker 1: and in many ways worse than the lives our parents
Speaker 1: and their parents had, that does not mean that all
Speaker 1: hope is lost. You know why we feel hopeless, and
Speaker 1: I'm pointing fingers at myself on occasion when we feel
Speaker 1: down or we feel hopeless about the state of the country,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I am very guilty of this.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm actually lamenting. I'm lamenting that I don't
Speaker 1: get to live in the country I want to live in.
Speaker 1: I don't get to live in the country that I
Speaker 1: had even when I was just a kid. I was
Speaker 1: my wife and I this morning, we were hanging out
Speaker 1: with the boys. We were having breakfast, We were joking
Speaker 1: and things like that, and my wife and I were
Speaker 1: talking in front of them about old movies, like older
Speaker 1: movies that the boys had never seen that we loved.
Speaker 1: You ever seen the movie Crocodile Dundee. I'm sure Chris
Speaker 1: and Michael probably haven't. Michael hasn't, Chris has. But if
Speaker 1: you are of a certain age, everyone saw Crocodile Dundee.
Speaker 1: They don't make movies like that anymore, They just don't.
Speaker 1: They don't make movies like that anymore. I want to
Speaker 1: live in the Crocodile Dundee America. And because now I don't. Now,
Speaker 1: because I want to live in the country I don't
Speaker 1: have I can allow that to get me down. But
Speaker 1: that is not right unless this happened to you. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you one thing that has most definitely never happened
Speaker 1: to me. It has never happened to me. God has
Speaker 1: never said to me, Jesse, you are gonna get to
Speaker 1: live in the same country your parents did, in the
Speaker 1: same country your grandpa did. That country is gonna be
Speaker 1: held together, and it's gonna be good, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: just be a wonderful place. God has never told me
Speaker 1: that we you me, we do not get to pick
Speaker 1: the era of human history. God gives us however long
Speaker 1: we are on this planet, however long, maybe a die young,
Speaker 1: ten years, maybe a die old, maybe you're a hundred.
Speaker 1: You me, We were not given votes on the period
Speaker 1: of time we live in, and we are not given
Speaker 1: this period of time by accident. God. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you're eighty five right now or five. God puts
Speaker 1: you in this time and place on purpose. He didn't
Speaker 1: trip and spill you onto this time and place. You
Speaker 1: are put here with the skills you have, with the
Speaker 1: gifts you've been given. You are put here. I am
Speaker 1: put here on purpose, and I need to remind myself
Speaker 1: of that when I look around and start to lament
Speaker 1: all the filth and everything in this country, in this culture,
Speaker 1: and think about this. If you want to feel even
Speaker 1: better about that, here's how I want to But here's
Speaker 1: how I want to explain this. All we have is
Speaker 1: the struggle. Right now, I am struggling against all this.
Speaker 1: You are struggling against all this. We are figuring out
Speaker 1: how best to struggle, how do we fight, what's the
Speaker 1: right way to fight? And we are fighting as hard
Speaker 1: as we possibly can. That does not mean we will
Speaker 1: see final victory, because we will not. It will take
Speaker 1: too long to get there. My lot in life is this.
Speaker 1: I will fight all this garbage for as long as
Speaker 1: I can. Maybe it's doing radio TV. Maybe maybe I'll
Speaker 1: get fired, maybe I'm supposed to do something else, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, I will fight this filth for as
Speaker 1: long as I can. And when I'm out of energy
Speaker 1: or out of life, or God takes me home, then
Speaker 1: guess what it's my son's turn. Step up, buck up,
Speaker 1: and now you fight. The struggle is what we have
Speaker 1: to put our hope in. I will die never having
Speaker 1: seen final victory in this country or this culture. I
Speaker 1: am forty two. It will never happen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1: If you're ten, it will never happen in your lifetime.
Speaker 1: I have embraced the struggle. We must embrace the struggle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great quote, Chris. Chris brought up that John
Speaker 1: Adams quote, and it's one of the great quotes in
Speaker 1: all of human history. I lean on it. I study
Speaker 1: war and politics, so my sons may study mathematics and philosophy.
Speaker 1: I whenever I feel hopeless or down, it's because I'm
Speaker 1: craving an easier life than the one God gave me.
Speaker 1: I was not given that and easier country. I should say,
Speaker 1: my life is fine, don't worry about that. I'm not
Speaker 1: complaining about my life. I'm craving something I was not given.
Speaker 1: But I don't have a right to that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's not an automatic. That's not the country I was given.
Speaker 1: Now I have to fight to try to make it
Speaker 1: that way. And remember this, Please remember this leading up
Speaker 1: to November and the next thing, and the next thing
Speaker 1: and the next thing. As I've said a million times,
Speaker 1: saving the country is not an event. It's a process.
Speaker 1: This guy said, it feels like we're bailing water from
Speaker 1: the ocean. Maybe we are, maybe we're not, but we
Speaker 1: bail or the ship goes down. Maybe we will succeed.
Speaker 1: Maybe we will fight a million battles. Maybe we'll lose
Speaker 1: a half a million and win a half a million.
Speaker 1: Maybe in the end we will see Vinyl victory. Maybe
Speaker 1: we will not, but don't we have to try. If
Speaker 1: you're going to sit and put your hope in America,
Speaker 1: coming back to what it was, the America you've always known,
Speaker 1: then you're probably putting your hope in something that's not
Speaker 1: going to come. And whenever I get down, and you've
Speaker 1: heard me on the air down before, that's when I
Speaker 1: sit back and look at it after a show and
Speaker 1: I'm feeling down and I realize I'm down driving home,
Speaker 1: and my wife can usually tell if I'm down on
Speaker 1: the air, I'm down at home, Like that's how I feel.
Speaker 1: It's not you. I'm right here with you. You know
Speaker 1: how I feel. If I'm down, it's because I'm wanting
Speaker 1: something that I don't have a right to. I don't
Speaker 1: have a right to demand it. All right, this is
Speaker 1: the country we've been given. Fall in love with the struggle,
Speaker 1: because the struggle is what we have. We are fighters
Speaker 1: now to the day they bury us. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: I got this email. Dear mister, I take shock to
Speaker 1: increase my tea levels, but still shower like a woman.
Speaker 1: I hate you guys. Anyway. The subject of this one
Speaker 1: is putting my money where my morals are. This dude
Speaker 1: was donating to a charity and they started putting out
Speaker 1: all kinds of DEI garbage, so he canceled his donations
Speaker 1: and changed his name. Get this, he changed his name
Speaker 1: with their company to mister no more LGBTQ support from me.
Speaker 1: What's his name? Anyway? He said, my money will now
Speaker 1: be going to Tunnel to Towers. Biggest selling point for me,
Speaker 1: besides you, is that their executives make a zero dollar salary.
Speaker 1: That's when you know they care about their mission. I
Speaker 1: have been involved in the nonprofit world. I have never
Speaker 1: seen the people who run a nonprofit take as little
Speaker 1: as Tunnel to Towers takes. They take virtually nothing. It's
Speaker 1: for the veterans, it's for the fallen first responders, the
Speaker 1: gold Star families, and all they ask is eleven bucks
Speaker 1: a month. Go to T the number two T dot
Speaker 1: org and sign up T two T dot org. We
Speaker 1: still have hours left. Hang on
