Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. Jesse Kelly Show. Let's
Speaker 1: have some fun.
Speaker 2: On a Thursday, and what a great Thursday it is.
Speaker 2: The weekend is almost here. I'm officially a bachelor for
Speaker 2: three days.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I didn't run out on me, so life.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: With myself over the next three days, but I do
Speaker 2: know for the next three hours, I'm gonna screw off
Speaker 2: with you. We are going to talk. We'll talk a
Speaker 2: little bit more about messaging. I got a bunch of
Speaker 2: emails on the affordability argument. We'll touch on that, talk
Speaker 2: about some more good fraud things that are happening. We're
Speaker 2: going to talk about Little Debbie because that's really important.
Speaker 2: All that so much more coming up tonight. Oh, before
Speaker 2: I forget, we haven't had guests.
Speaker 1: I know very many guests.
Speaker 2: Well, I think one day we had two, and before
Speaker 2: that had been like two months since we had some.
Speaker 2: I mean, I figured it would probably be a good
Speaker 2: time to check back in with BK. We haven't heard
Speaker 2: BK and his stupid abs in a while. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to BK. Brandon Darby, we haven't talked to him in
Speaker 2: a while what's happening on the border, the cartels, the
Speaker 2: war on the cartels, kind of quiet out there? Is
Speaker 2: everything fine? I truly doubt it. But we're gonna do
Speaker 2: all that tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: And before we do any of that, I need to
Speaker 2: remind you that tomorrow is asked doctor Jesse Friday. Get
Speaker 2: your questions emailed in right now. Ask me anything Jesse
Speaker 2: at jessekellyshow dot com. They are already pouring in. Everyone
Speaker 2: knows the drill will have a good time tomorrow. So
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to start out with this.
Speaker 1: It's an email. It's Jesse.
Speaker 2: I am disgusted by some of the recent rhetoric on
Speaker 2: the right. My wife and I did everything the older
Speaker 2: generations told us we needed to do for success. We
Speaker 2: went to college, worked long hours, lived frugally, et cetera,
Speaker 2: and now we have an upper middle class income living
Speaker 2: in a modest apartment. Our rent, student loan payments, and
Speaker 2: daycare costs for our new baby boy are well over
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a month. If the choice is voting
Speaker 2: for AOC or Mamdani or people who believe the younger
Speaker 2: generations who would have large families and own homes. If
Speaker 2: they just shut up an eight ultra process garbage, it's obvious.
Speaker 1: Which side will win.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's let's have a long talk again about
Speaker 2: affordability and what's going on, because with all the poop
Speaker 2: throwing going on about say this, don't say that this
Speaker 2: is right, this is wrong. Let's get down to the
Speaker 2: nitty gritty of the problem. And some of this you're
Speaker 2: gonna some of this you're gonna nod in agreement with,
Speaker 2: maybe all of it, but some of it may.
Speaker 1: Hurt to hear.
Speaker 2: Why is life significantly more expensive now than it was
Speaker 2: five years ago, ten years ago, certainly fifty years ago.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: Okay, So on a macro level, let's let's use the
Speaker 2: long term thing, fifty years. We'll say, over the last
Speaker 2: fifty years, why have prices gone up?
Speaker 1: What's going on there? It's something we're all used to.
Speaker 2: You'll talk to your dad or grandpa or however old
Speaker 2: you are, and you know, you'll go to Jack in
Speaker 2: the box and you'll get a value meal that costs
Speaker 2: you six seven dollars now, and they'll say, I remember
Speaker 2: when a treesburger costs twenty five cents and then're right.
Speaker 2: Of course, you can go back and look at the menu.
Speaker 2: What explains that, what accounts for that. Whether there's a
Speaker 2: couple of things, there's a couple things that have just
Speaker 2: been happening that are so big they're out of our
Speaker 2: control and it sucks, but it's the way life goes.
Speaker 2: The first is this the debt situation. It's not that
Speaker 2: we have no control over that. But the truth is
Speaker 2: the national debt is gigantic. It's gigantic, and it continues
Speaker 2: to grow exponentially.
Speaker 1: And this is a problem.
Speaker 2: It's a problem that I hate to put it this way,
Speaker 2: but I'm just going to give it to you between
Speaker 2: the eyes. It's an untouchable problem at this time. Why
Speaker 2: is it untouchable. Here's why it's untouchable because the American people,
Speaker 2: most of them, maybe this doesn't apply to you, but
Speaker 2: most of the American people, they actually like it when
Speaker 2: the government spends their money.
Speaker 1: They like it. Now, hold on, maybe you're thinking, well,
Speaker 1: not me. You sure.
Speaker 2: Trump administration came out and announced that we need a
Speaker 2: one point five trillion.
Speaker 1: Dollar budget for just the military.
Speaker 2: We get a new aircraft carrier, the USS Jesse Kelly,
Speaker 2: which is what I would name it.
Speaker 1: You happy that day. I want a strong navy. Do
Speaker 1: you want a strong navy?
Speaker 2: It's that's the same. You see what I mean. You
Speaker 2: can pick and choose your thing, and now we can go.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 2: You can go look at a pie chart of the
Speaker 2: budget of the United States of America and see where
Speaker 2: the money goes. The money goes to the military, it
Speaker 2: goes to Medicare, it goes to Social Security, it goes
Speaker 2: to Medicaid. People will step in now now you're probably
Speaker 2: already typing this email.
Speaker 1: Let me slow down on it. It's pause before you
Speaker 1: hit send. You can still send it, but just pause
Speaker 1: for a second and hear me here.
Speaker 2: This is the point in time when people who like
Speaker 2: that spending in one way or the other. Maybe you,
Speaker 2: maybe you live on Social Security and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: and believe me, you're not getting judgment out of me.
Speaker 1: You paid into it.
Speaker 2: So maybe you're sitting there ready to fire off that
Speaker 2: email and say.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe if we didn't foreign aid.
Speaker 2: I will again remind you, please go before you send
Speaker 2: the email and look at a pie chart of the
Speaker 2: budget for the United States of America. Foreign eight is
Speaker 2: bad for the most part. FOURN eight is bad I
Speaker 2: am against foreign aid, no question about it. I am
Speaker 2: against foreign aid almost universally.
Speaker 1: It's bad.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. Right, it's a fraction, it's a
Speaker 2: tiny fraction. Do you want to know the numbers? These
Speaker 2: are rough. This is from ten years ago, by the way,
Speaker 2: but these are rough, but they're fairly close. Healthcare that
Speaker 2: be Medicare and Medicaid twenty five percent, Social Security that'd
Speaker 2: be twenty four percent. That's half the budget right there,
Speaker 2: those two things half the budget. Non defense discretionary spending
Speaker 2: and stuff like that sixteen percent, Department of Defense sixteen percent.
Speaker 2: And you have a couple other little things mixed in there.
Speaker 2: Net interest going up a lot. It's not just well,
Speaker 2: stop sending money to Ukraine and that'll fix things.
Speaker 1: That's not true.
Speaker 2: Our budget is eaten up by a gigantic military, by Medicare, Medicaid,
Speaker 2: and social security. That's not me yelling that you shouldn't
Speaker 2: have those things you paid into. That's me explaining the math.
Speaker 2: That's the math. And here's the thing, and this hurts.
Speaker 2: We can't afford those things. We do not make that
Speaker 2: kind of a money. That kind of money, we cannot
Speaker 2: afford those days. Well set yourself aside for a moment.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to take away anyone's medical care or
Speaker 2: social Security check. We're going to set aside feelings here
Speaker 2: and have a frank discussion. We are making one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a month. We are we're spending fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 2: a month, meaning we're financing five hundred dollars a month. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I'm lowering all these numbers just so they're more easily palatable.
Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you something.
Speaker 2: If I'm financing five hundred dollars a month, every single month.
Speaker 1: For year after year after year after year.
Speaker 2: After year, and remember I'm only bringing in one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a month, what is happening. What's happening is the
Speaker 2: loan is getting larger, the amount I owe. Obviously it's
Speaker 2: getting larger. The interest payments are getting larger, and I
Speaker 2: don't have the money. The United States of America is
Speaker 2: insanely wealthy with an incredible economy, and we are so
Speaker 2: blessed to live here, but we don't have the money
Speaker 2: we're spending now. It does not exist, and it's been
Speaker 2: this way. This is not a recent thing. This is
Speaker 2: not even a Democrat thing, republican thing. This is how
Speaker 2: the government has operated since we started putting in these
Speaker 2: crazy entitlement programs that have only grown, and ever since
Speaker 2: they've gotten here, the debt is just.
Speaker 3: Ballooned and ballooned and ballooned and ballooned and ballooned with
Speaker 3: no end in sight. And I say no end in sight,
Speaker 3: because I guarantee you, on just this little two minute rant,
Speaker 3: I will show up tomorrow and there will be one
Speaker 3: hundred angry emails screaming at me about.
Speaker 1: Don't touch my security. I guarantee it.
Speaker 2: Now, that's me. I'm a jerk radio host. It won't
Speaker 2: bother me. What if I'm a congressman. You know what
Speaker 2: those emails translate to, I'm gonna lose my next election.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep my spot in the House. I'm wanna
Speaker 2: keep my seat in the United States Senate. Therefore, the
Speaker 2: people with the power to do if reforms of any kind,
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about cutting people off. If the people
Speaker 2: with the power to do reforms of any kind will
Speaker 2: not do reforms because the American people don't want them.
Speaker 1: They don't want reform. There's just no outcry for it.
Speaker 2: None, nobody, no one, loses their seat in the House
Speaker 2: of Representatives or the Senate for spending too much money.
Speaker 2: I have been passionately following politics for more than two decades.
Speaker 2: I have never seen somebody lose a primary because they
Speaker 2: spend a lot of money. Doesn't happen. It's not something
Speaker 2: that drives people to the polls. So that that's.
Speaker 1: One of the macro things.
Speaker 2: Over a long period of time, the debt continues to grow,
Speaker 2: we are having to pay for the interest, and.
Speaker 1: That is driving up prices. It is.
Speaker 2: It is a huge driver of prices. Combine the money printing,
Speaker 2: which we can get two more. Combine that well, the
Speaker 2: money printings given you inflation. That this is a big
Speaker 2: reason prices have gone up. That will talk about the
Speaker 2: other stuff in a very frank way. Before we talk
Speaker 2: about that, let me talk to you about this. I
Speaker 2: am staring out the window right now, and yeah, it's dark,
Speaker 2: but the thunder is a rumblin. I am going to
Speaker 2: have to walk to my vehicle when the show is over,
Speaker 2: and it is very likely going to be monsooning. And
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about it. And you know why I'm
Speaker 2: not worried about it. That's because I brought in my
Speaker 2: rain shell from zero Foxtrot. Look, I know there are
Speaker 2: waterproof things out there, these zero Foxtrot rain shells. They're
Speaker 2: good for places like Houston where it's roasting hot. I
Speaker 2: don't want insulation.
Speaker 1: I need to be dry.
Speaker 2: Can you just make me dry without roasting me to death?
Speaker 2: That's zero Foxtrot. You want water bottles, tactical gear, t shirts, hats, whatever.
Speaker 1: You're looking for.
Speaker 2: The warrior culture brand, Zero Foxtrot has it. And because
Speaker 2: times are tough, twenty percent off from my listeners with
Speaker 2: the promo code Jesse go to zero foxtrot dot com
Speaker 2: promo code Jesse, We'll be back.
Speaker 1: Is he smarter than everyone who knows? Does he think so? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday. So
Speaker 2: we are having in case you just now joined us
Speaker 2: with I got a bunch of emails about life is unaffordable,
Speaker 2: and we're having.
Speaker 1: A long talk. It's a good day to do it.
Speaker 2: About why So on a macro level, the debt, the
Speaker 2: debt is piling up. It is piling up, and the
Speaker 2: main drivers of it. Again, I don't care about your
Speaker 2: whining or yelling. I can read math. I can read
Speaker 2: a pie chart. The main drivers are medicare, Medicaid, social
Speaker 2: security in the military.
Speaker 1: That is roughly.
Speaker 2: Roughly seventy to seventy five percent of what we spend
Speaker 2: money on. That's where the money is going. You could
Speaker 2: cut off every dime of foreign aid and it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a drop in the bucket on the debt of
Speaker 2: this country.
Speaker 1: That's not me, that's math.
Speaker 2: You don't like it too bad? So sad, that's what
Speaker 2: it looks like. And because the debt is increasing, the
Speaker 2: interest on the debt is increasing, the money printing continues
Speaker 2: to increase, and as that increases the value of your dollar,
Speaker 2: and my dollar goes downhill. Now, why doesn't someone do
Speaker 2: something about it? Because I just told you basic math,
Speaker 2: and everyone knows I'm an idiot. I don't even have
Speaker 2: a degree. I went to community college and I can
Speaker 2: even read a pie chart. So why doesn't someone do
Speaker 2: something about it? Why doesn't Trump do something about it?
Speaker 2: Why doesn't the House do something about it? Why doesn't
Speaker 2: the Senate do something about it? Well, you know what,
Speaker 2: You'll have to forgive me, but I'm a bit of
Speaker 2: an expert on this subject. You know why because I
Speaker 2: ran for Congress. When I got out of the Marine Corps,
Speaker 2: I got super into politics, got super mad, and I
Speaker 2: ran for the United States House of Representatives. And I
Speaker 2: ran into primary against some establishment guy and beat the
Speaker 2: doors off of him. And then I squared off against
Speaker 2: the Democrat Gabrielle Gifford's and almost peter four thousand votes.
Speaker 2: They had to recount it for a week. I was
Speaker 2: that close to being in Congress. And do you know
Speaker 2: why I didn't get to Congress?
Speaker 1: What happened beyond my brash style? What was the problem. Well,
Speaker 1: do you know what the older people of southern Arizona
Speaker 1: were seeing every time they sat down after dinner and
Speaker 1: turned on the news. Do you want to know where
Speaker 1: those four thousand votes went? Here's where they went.
Speaker 4: I'm Noel Hatfield from Tucson, Arizona. I work in the
Speaker 4: construction business. I got my first construction job when I
Speaker 4: was fifteen years old and paying into Medicare every paycheck
Speaker 4: since then. Over the last thirty seven plus years, Jess
Speaker 4: Kelly had said that over time he's going to get
Speaker 4: rid of Medicare. I don't think he's right for Jesse
Speaker 4: Kelly and people to decide that I don't get my
Speaker 4: Medicare that I've been paid for.
Speaker 2: So effective it shaved off enough older Republican votes, Gabrielle
Speaker 2: Giffords went right back to Congress. I went back to
Speaker 2: work in construction, not complaining. By the way, greatest thing
Speaker 2: that ever happened to me. I'm not bitter about it.
Speaker 2: You couldn't pay me enough to go to Congress. But
Speaker 2: now tell me the person in Washington, d C. Republican
Speaker 2: or Democrat, who's going to step on that third reel,
Speaker 2: who is it going to be, who is going to
Speaker 2: guarantee an election loss in their next election by touching it?
Speaker 1: It won't be touched.
Speaker 2: So again, that was a long, long way of saying,
Speaker 2: on a long term, on a long term scale, the
Speaker 2: debt is not something that's going to stop growing. It's
Speaker 2: just not there's no public appetite for it. And most people,
Speaker 2: I know you already understand this stuff, but most people
Speaker 2: who don't pay attention to politics, they don't even get it.
Speaker 2: They don't understand that it's not just it's not corporate greed,
Speaker 2: or it's not justice, or it's not just that there
Speaker 2: are actual fiscal reasons why the prices of everything have
Speaker 2: gone up for so long.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: That was the long term stuff, the money printing, the
Speaker 2: national dat the short term stuff. Of course, you already know,
Speaker 2: we talked about it. You don't ever stop your economy ever,
Speaker 2: under any circumstances.
Speaker 1: It's not just that well COVID didn't turn out to
Speaker 1: be that bat. No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2: I don't care if Russia starts flying over America dropping
Speaker 2: nuclear bombs on every single city. You never look at
Speaker 2: your economy and say stop.
Speaker 1: Parts of it will stop.
Speaker 2: Inevitably if you get a nuclear bomb or a virus,
Speaker 2: that's just inevitable. Businesses will close, we won't get people
Speaker 2: show up the work. The parts will stop. There will
Speaker 2: be economic disruptions. But to have the government order it
Speaker 2: to stop, it's a catastrophe. And after the government ordered
Speaker 2: it to stop, they realized the gears are grinding to
Speaker 2: a halt.
Speaker 1: What do we do?
Speaker 2: And so the government did the worst possible thing they
Speaker 2: could have done. They went to the famous money printer,
Speaker 2: and they, in rapid succession, printed seven plus trillion dollars
Speaker 2: in unbacked currency and injected it into the economy to
Speaker 2: try to keep those gears moving to try to keep
Speaker 2: the economy alive, really, to try to keep the economic
Speaker 2: head above water. And by the way, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 2: I have to be that guy. The entire time, I
Speaker 2: was sitting here behind this microphone, screaming until I lost
Speaker 2: my voice that we were dooming this country and dooming
Speaker 2: generations for years by stopping an economy and printing money.
Speaker 2: I yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled and yelled.
Speaker 2: And by the way, those yells went up to the
Speaker 2: very highest level. I know because I've seen a picture
Speaker 2: of them sitting on the resolute desk in the White House,
Speaker 2: in the Oval Office.
Speaker 1: But it happened.
Speaker 2: And we can't put that genie back in the lamp
Speaker 2: now for the rest of it, because after that they
Speaker 2: installed Joe Biden.
Speaker 5: Hang on, Jesse Kelly returns next.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent Thursday.
Speaker 2: Do not forget tomorrow, as ask doctor Jesse Friday, get
Speaker 2: all your questions emailed in right now to Jesse at
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly's showed. So the money printing, it's bad, it's
Speaker 2: been bad. It really got turned into overdrive during COVID.
Speaker 2: And this is not exactly secret stuff that people don't
Speaker 2: know that they talk about it publicly. This is a
Speaker 2: man by the name of Jared Bernstein. You want to
Speaker 2: hear what we were doing. Well, here's what we were doing.
Speaker 6: The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print
Speaker 6: our own money.
Speaker 7: Why does the government even borrow?
Speaker 1: Well, the.
Speaker 6: So the I mean again, some of this stuff gets
Speaker 6: some of the language that the some of the language
Speaker 6: and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government definitely
Speaker 6: prints money, and it definitely lends that money. Which is
Speaker 6: why the government definitely prints money. And then it lends
Speaker 6: that money by selling bonds.
Speaker 1: Is that what they do?
Speaker 6: They they yeah, they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right,
Speaker 6: since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and
Speaker 6: lend them the money.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So a lot of times, a lot of times, at
Speaker 6: least to my year with MMT, the language and the
Speaker 6: concepts can be unnecessarily confusing.
Speaker 1: But got it.
Speaker 2: That's Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Economic Council. Okay, Jerome Powell,
Speaker 2: you know big cheese at the Fed. Jerome Powell. Here's
Speaker 2: whom Hey, hey, Jerome, what'd you do during COVID when
Speaker 2: we stopped the.
Speaker 1: Economy simply flooded the system with money. Yes, we did.
Speaker 8: That's another way to think about it.
Speaker 1: We did. Where does it come from? Do you just
Speaker 1: print it?
Speaker 8: We printed digitally, so we you know, we as a
Speaker 8: central bank, we have the ability to create money digitally,
Speaker 8: and we do that by buying treasury bills or bonds
Speaker 8: or other government guaranteed securities and act that actually increases
Speaker 8: the money supply. We also print actual currency and we
Speaker 8: distribute that to the Federal Reserve Bank.
Speaker 2: There it is now economics one oh one. I mean,
Speaker 2: anybody can tell you this. It's not exactly like I'm
Speaker 2: breaking it's it's not like this. It's breaking news from
Speaker 2: a journalist Jesse.
Speaker 1: It's journalist Jesse.
Speaker 2: When you print unbacked currency, every dollar you print will
Speaker 2: be inflationary. It will cause the value of the dollar
Speaker 2: to go down. Now, in an economy as big as ours,
Speaker 2: with all this money flowing to and fro, are you
Speaker 2: going to notice if the Federal Reserve prints a dollar unbacked,
Speaker 2: of course you're not a billion dollars. Even of course
Speaker 2: you're not. When the Federal Reserve in a short period
Speaker 2: of time prints seven plus trillion dollars, you are going
Speaker 2: to have inflation. I don't want to say forever because
Speaker 2: I don't want it to be disheartening, but you're going
Speaker 2: to have inflation for as long as you're alive, and
Speaker 2: you're going to feel it. And I looked, Hey, this
Speaker 2: was me. I was telling you this back then. I
Speaker 2: was yelling, this is what it was. That's what I said.
Speaker 2: Why why inflation? Why six point eight percent? Why are
Speaker 2: we looking at more inflation still? Why are working people hurting?
Speaker 2: We made that decision when coronavirus got here, and as
Speaker 2: a nation, we panicked.
Speaker 1: And I understand.
Speaker 2: I do understand about the pylon that came after. I
Speaker 2: understand Democrat mayors and governors purposely torpedoed their own economies
Speaker 2: in order to hurt Donald Trump's reelection chances.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 2: How horrible We're Republicans, though I'm sorry I blame I
Speaker 2: hold people accountable, Republicans and Democrats. No mayor, no governor
Speaker 2: has the authority to tell you your job isn't essential.
Speaker 2: We as a nation decided we were going to behave
Speaker 2: like the communist Chinese when we got sick. We were
Speaker 2: just gonna stop an economy and then up. Uh oh,
Speaker 2: I guess I didn't see this coming, but I guess
Speaker 2: people do have to pay bills.
Speaker 1: Let's start Let's start.
Speaker 2: Passing massive spending bills through Congress, and we'll just hand
Speaker 2: out government checks.
Speaker 1: That'll fix it, right, guys.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it looks like we're still hurting from stopping
Speaker 2: the economy.
Speaker 1: Oh, I have an idea. I have an idea.
Speaker 2: Everyone, let's print trillions of dollars trillions, and we'll just
Speaker 2: chuck it at the economy like a monkey throw and
Speaker 2: it's poop. And then two years later, I'm supposed to
Speaker 2: look at inflation numbers and.
Speaker 1: Go, oh dang, how'd that happen? Headline?
Speaker 2: Eighty percent of all US dollars in existence were printed
Speaker 2: in the last twenty two months. This headline's from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, by the way, from four trillion in January
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty to twenty trillion in October of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one. I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
Speaker 2: but you can't put that toothpaste back in the tube.
Speaker 2: You can't unprint it. It's not possible. And look, it
Speaker 2: doesn't do any good to go back and say you
Speaker 2: were right or I was right.
Speaker 1: It's done.
Speaker 2: Prices aren't going back down to pre COVID levels because
Speaker 2: of that. Now, talk about making a bad situation worse.
Speaker 2: The house was already on fire, and then they stole
Speaker 2: an election and installed Joe Biden. They stole an election,
Speaker 2: they installed Joe Biden. Now here's the devastating It was
Speaker 2: a devastating one two punch of installing Joe Biden because
Speaker 2: you had two separate things going on that they're the same,
Speaker 2: but they're separate. The first thing is this, Obviously, Joe
Speaker 2: Biden didn't run the country.
Speaker 1: You know this by now.
Speaker 2: It was the communists around him who ran the country.
Speaker 2: And these were not run of the mill Democrats. These
Speaker 2: were the Anita Dunn types, the less A Monaco types.
Speaker 2: These were the real, true, died in the wool communists
Speaker 2: who want to burn the country down. So while the
Speaker 2: house was on fire with all the money printing and
Speaker 2: everything else, then you handed the house over to the arsonist.
Speaker 1: So that was bad. Combine that with this.
Speaker 2: What is the Democrat Party. We've described it a million
Speaker 2: times on this show. It's the largest criminal network in
Speaker 2: the history of the planet, the largest one in the
Speaker 2: history of the planet. Wherever they are elected, they will
Speaker 2: work with their friends, their political allies to steal from
Speaker 2: the treasury, and the Biden administration started things like his
Speaker 2: infrastructure Bill and everything else. Remember the Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 2: which is honest, it's borderline criminal.
Speaker 1: That they called it.
Speaker 2: That had nothing to do with inflation, was a gigantic
Speaker 2: handout to all his friends and allies. So with the
Speaker 2: house on fire, we then stole an election and brought
Speaker 2: in an arsonist and provided him with cans of gasoline
Speaker 2: and matches.
Speaker 1: Now it gets really bad. Then you get this.
Speaker 2: They start attacking the thing that really keeps prices down
Speaker 2: or makes prices high. Energy because they're evil communists and
Speaker 2: because their political allies make solar panels and don't drill
Speaker 2: for oil.
Speaker 1: They started cutting.
Speaker 2: Off oil at the knees, cutting off coal at the knees,
Speaker 2: everywhere they went, driving up the cost of energy. They
Speaker 2: started to get worried because gas prices went really high,
Speaker 2: and if gas prices are high, you're going to lose
Speaker 2: an election. That's just an electoral fact in the United
Speaker 2: States of America.
Speaker 1: Then they turned around and drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't lose as many seats in the midterms.
Speaker 1: It's bad and it contributed to inflation. It did.
Speaker 2: Now we'll fast forward past that. I know you were
Speaker 2: sitting there nodding in agreement. Now we'll talk about the
Speaker 2: latest move we pulled and it hurt too, and then
Speaker 2: I'll get back to the email and we'll actually have
Speaker 2: a talk with these emails and the way things people
Speaker 2: were hurting and some people were saying, suck it up,
Speaker 2: and some people were saying, you're hurting it. So let's
Speaker 2: just have it out before we do that, I want
Speaker 2: to read you this really quickly.
Speaker 1: Bronco.
Speaker 2: After returning from Japan, a Japanese archery champion, proud of you, buddy,
Speaker 2: defeating the dirty and shored Italian family in my group
Speaker 2: and upholding America's honor and glory, I finally switched to puretok.
Speaker 2: I never had to repeat myself. I was speaking with
Speaker 2: Americans and we understood each other, no phonetically spelling my
Speaker 2: entire name or email. It was glorious, yet sad because
Speaker 2: it felt weird. After dealing with Click Click for a decade,
Speaker 2: great company, great people, proud to be a customer. I
Speaker 2: told them you sent me to have a great weekend,
Speaker 2: and God speed. You want to have a pleasant customer
Speaker 2: service experience. Do you want to pay a fraction of
Speaker 2: what you're paying now for your wireless plan? Do you
Speaker 2: want to send that money to a company that is
Speaker 2: run by a Vietnam veteran. All these things are available
Speaker 2: to you. By the way, they're on the same network.
Speaker 2: You're not going to lose coverage. Pick up your cell
Speaker 2: phone dial pound two five zero and enjoy the unique
Speaker 2: experience of speaking to someone who speaks English pound two
Speaker 2: five zero, say, Jesse Kelly, we'll be back.
Speaker 3: This is the Jesse Kelly Show.
Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on on a wonderful,
Speaker 2: wonderful Thursday.
Speaker 1: Just remember, if you miss any part of the show.
Speaker 2: You can download at Iheartspotify iTunes. Now, let's wrap up
Speaker 2: this talk because the emails came in and I do
Speaker 2: want to read them. Jesse, I'm disgusted by the rhetoric.
Speaker 2: My wife and I did everything right. They can't afford anything, okay.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: It's not that there's nothing we can do. First of all,
Speaker 2: let's do remember this that Trump he did finally stop
Speaker 2: the runaway inflation that Joe Biden had poured the gasoline
Speaker 2: on to Trump's credit.
Speaker 1: We can do that.
Speaker 2: That's one two energy. I know it sounds kind of dumb,
Speaker 2: but it's not. Believe me, Affordable energy is the thing
Speaker 2: that makes everything affordable, and we have endless amounts of
Speaker 2: it here. Keep cutting red tape, drilling for oil, coal, nuclear,
Speaker 2: That will help get price down.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm not promising you that everything's going.
Speaker 2: Back, because it's never going back, but that will help
Speaker 2: get prices down. We can get rid of some freaking
Speaker 2: taxes that would be nice. Probably most doable and most
Speaker 2: important is we can deport one hundred million foreigners so
Speaker 2: you're not competing with the whole continent of Asia, when
Speaker 2: you're trying to buy a house, when you're trying to
Speaker 2: get a job, when you're trying to get healthcare. That
Speaker 2: will drastically reduce the costs in this country. There are
Speaker 2: things we can do, and again I want to stress
Speaker 2: Trump is at least working on working towards a lot
Speaker 2: of these things. My frustration with the Trump administration on
Speaker 2: the subject of affordability, and I guess this applies to
Speaker 2: a lot of podcasters and TV people on the right.
Speaker 2: It's not what they're doing, it's what they're saying Donald
Speaker 2: Old Trump is doing good things. Obviously, there are some
Speaker 2: things I disagree with, but when it comes to inflation
Speaker 2: and affordability, he's doing a lot of really good things.
Speaker 1: The problem is, I.
Speaker 2: Hate to say it, he needs to let Jdvans handle
Speaker 2: the messaging on this issue.
Speaker 1: He does, he does. Trump talks like that.
Speaker 9: You know, they talk about costs.
Speaker 1: I inherited very very.
Speaker 9: High costs, and they're all coming down, the food, the groceries,
Speaker 9: it's all coming down. We've done a great job. You know,
Speaker 9: I think we should be given an eight plus on
Speaker 9: the economy.
Speaker 1: But okay, that's awful, no defense of it. That's awful messaging. JD.
Speaker 2: Vance sat down with Laura Ingram. This is how we
Speaker 2: talk about it.
Speaker 5: For a lot of Americans look at this rising tide
Speaker 5: of socialism and say, how did we get here.
Speaker 10: We got here by forty years of bipartisan leaders selling
Speaker 10: our industrial base to foreign countries, allowing low way immigrants
Speaker 10: to come in and compete with Americans for jobs.
Speaker 5: By destroying the foundation of middle class.
Speaker 2: That's how you got socialism.
Speaker 5: How you fix that problem is by doubling down on
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's economic nationalism.
Speaker 1: Outstanding more Jdvents.
Speaker 5: Actually think that if these people, if the socialists cared
Speaker 5: about working class Americans, they would help us in their
Speaker 5: fraud efforts.
Speaker 1: But they don't. What they actually care about.
Speaker 5: Is illegal aliens and allowing illegal aliens.
Speaker 1: To enrich themselves.
Speaker 5: That has always been the gambit of these limousine socialists. Again,
Speaker 5: that's why they do well, not among immigrant communities that
Speaker 5: have assimilated, that are entrepreneurs that are doing well in
Speaker 5: the United States of America. They're doing the best among
Speaker 5: the communities where you see the highest fraud levels, and
Speaker 5: they're doing the best among affluent white liberals.
Speaker 2: That's outstanding messaging. Finally, he went on Joe Rogan, I mean,
Speaker 2: this is just this is so good. We need to
Speaker 2: be pounding this.
Speaker 5: Does the socialism thing scare me?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is it the wrong solution? Yes?
Speaker 5: But one thing I try to persuade my fellow Republicans
Speaker 5: of is socialism is the alternative. If we don't have
Speaker 5: a pathway to give people a sense that the system
Speaker 5: is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable.
Speaker 1: That's like our job. That's what we have to do.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying Rome was built in a day It's
Speaker 5: not going to be easy to undo some of these
Speaker 5: economic trends. But man, we ran the experiment. We ran
Speaker 5: the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, of
Speaker 5: becoming a services and finance economy and allowing Wall Street
Speaker 5: to come in and buy every asset of modern life
Speaker 5: and turn it into an investible line goes up asset.
Speaker 5: And what is that done. It's created a generation of
Speaker 5: kids who kind of are attracted to socialism. You have
Speaker 5: to fix that problem.
Speaker 4: Well, kids that do feel and you're correct, and I
Speaker 4: agree with you.
Speaker 1: The system is rigged.
Speaker 2: Kids feel like there are no options other than to
Speaker 2: burn it down.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's the problem.
Speaker 5: And because they feel very frustrated, and this is part
Speaker 5: of our job is to provide an option that isn't
Speaker 5: burn it down, but is not just doing the same
Speaker 5: things that we've done.
Speaker 2: It's outstanding. We are doing some good things. Is everything perfect? No,
Speaker 2: We're doing some good things, though, and that needs to
Speaker 2: be the GOP messaging between now and November. And the
Speaker 2: reason I've been so emphatic about this is because not
Speaker 2: just I know people are hurting. I've been talking about
Speaker 2: affordability since COVID. I didn't come to this yesterday. I
Speaker 2: didn't come to this because everyone else is arguing about
Speaker 2: it right now. You know, I've been on this for
Speaker 2: a very long time. People are hurting, and if they're
Speaker 2: hurting at the kitchen table, then we are going to
Speaker 2: get freaking massacred in November. And that matters a lot
Speaker 2: to me. I don't want to get massacred. I want
Speaker 2: to keep the deportations rolling. I want to keep things rolling.
Speaker 2: I want good things to continue to happen. I don't
Speaker 2: want the country handed back to the animals. I don't
Speaker 2: want these people running America. That's why I'm desperate to
Speaker 2: get the message.
Speaker 1: You can run.
Speaker 7: Given me sort of a true false on these Abolish
Speaker 7: the Senate, true okay, replace the Presidency and Supreme Court
Speaker 7: as we now know them.
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, you get it. She's crazy. Remember doing COVID.
Speaker 2: Remember when they started to say just go home, shut up,
Speaker 2: and go home. A lot of people on the radio
Speaker 2: and TV on the right were saying the same thing,
Speaker 2: quit being selfish, go home because they didn't miss a paycheck.
Speaker 2: The reason you're seeing some of that from people on
Speaker 2: the right right now, it's the exact same reason. If
Speaker 2: you're well off enough, you're still buying the same stuff
Speaker 2: at the grocery store, still driving the same car, You're
Speaker 2: going to the same vacation spots.
Speaker 1: Does it costs? And you more sure?
Speaker 2: But if you're well off enough, it doesn't affect your
Speaker 2: daily life. But I I lived the other side of that,
Speaker 2: and let.
Speaker 1: Me tell you what.
Speaker 2: It sucks the life out of you. Life lots of
Speaker 2: time sucks when you can't get ahead. And they don't
Speaker 2: want to hear that the economy is an a plus.
Speaker 2: They want to hear that you're working on it, that
Speaker 2: you've got a plan. That's what they want to hear.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to some other stuff. In fact,
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to this guy who says, you know,
Speaker 2: suck it up and things like that. Hang on
