1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show. Got

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Wiker coming up about a half hour from now.

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: Wrote a book on kind of the history of how

5
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: we lost control of Ukraine, how the West lost control

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: of Ukraine. Will talk to him about that. That will

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: be interesting. We'll get to some Trump tariff stuff, the

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: Democrat response to last night, some emails, other things. I

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: wanted to first address this because it's not a conversation

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: we've had in a little while. We used to have

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: this talk a lot while Biden was president, but it's

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: one I've been negliging on. I've been too busy celebrating

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: like you've been celebrating. So we need to discuss something first.

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: There are a lot of places in this country that

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: still have a lot of work to do politically, red

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: and blue places. Let's acknowledge that. Just rewinding to what

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: we finished up with last hour about how the Supreme

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Court said, hey, you have to unfreeze this two billion

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: dollars of USAID going to training.

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Money, billion dollars for making mice transgender. This is real.

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: We're all mad at the Supreme Court today. I'm mad.

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: You're mad. Amy Barrett sucks. We get all that. But

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: here's another sober truth about that. The sober truth about

24
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: that is it really is up to Congress to stop

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: handing that money out. It shouldn't be Donald Trump's job,

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's job to step in and stop the pillaging

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: of the American taxpayer. The pillaging of the American taxpayer

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: comes from Congress, comes from the House of Representatives. And

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: I realized the Senate they put together their thing too.

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: That's where the taxpayer is pillaged. We have a lot

31
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: of work to do, still, a lot of work to do. Still,

32
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Republicans who need replaced, and

33
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: we have to dig in. We have to dig into

34
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: primaries and replace Republicans in our safe red areas. You know,

35
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: our communities are safe in our red areas. I'm here

36
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: in Texas, and Texas is safe, and Texas is red.

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: And they passed these good Okay, the art State legislature sucks.

38
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: Our Republicans are worthless. There's all kinds of bad things

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: that happen here because we don't part to it anyway,

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: you get it. Well, today there was a hearing in

41
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, New

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: York City. They all were called in front of Congress

43
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: to give some sort of an accounting about why they

44
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: do what they do. Sanctuary city mayors, we're talking people

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: in our biggest cities, some of our biggest cities. They

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: tell illegals, you come here, we will protect you from

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: being deported Byron Donald's was interrogating them today.

48
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: City spent on illegal immigration.

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: Do you have a round number.

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: Over the last couple of years on all newcomers, whatever

51
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 4: their status was, It's around seventy nine million since twenty

52
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: twenty two, seventy nine million.

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: Mayor Johnson, Chicago, how much is the City of Chicago

54
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: spent on illegal immigration?

55
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 4: If you refer into the twenty twenty two up to

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four of the buses coming from Texas, roughly

57
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: the same percentage of the state of Texas, about one

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: percent of our overall budget.

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: What is that?

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: Because we don't have the city's budget in front of

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: me numbers, it's one percent. And if you want the

62
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: actual calculation, we can make sure someone you're the mayor,

63
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: you don't have the math in front of you, it's

64
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: one percent. Of the overall budget over the last that's

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: why year.

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Of course he knows what the number is. Remember, just

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: just as a quick side not Remember the communist has

68
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: to lie about everything at all times. It is ingrained

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: into him because the truth is always horrific. He always

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: has to lie. What number sounds better than eighty million

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: one percent? Anyway?

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: Failing which is the same number? How much of New

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: York actually spy tech legal immigration? Mayor Johnson I already

74
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: asked you. You don't have a hard number, and if

75
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: you don't have a hard number, you're not running your

76
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: city well. Mayor Adams, how much of the City of

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: New York actually spend on illegal immigration?

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: Six point nine billion of tax spaces?

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Six point nine billion dollars of taxpayer money on a

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: problem that was fostered on the American people. Mayor Wu,

81
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: In the city of Boston, how much did you spend

82
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: We don't.

83
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Ask about immigration status and delivering cities.

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: You don't ask about how much money the City of

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: Boston has spent on illegal immigration?

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Out of your boss between immigration status? Do you manage

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: your budget or not?

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: Mayor?

89
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: That is how we keep Mayor Woo. Do you manage numbers?

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: To prove it. I manage my budget. I have a

91
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: triple A bond rating. Dainty back ten years.

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Go to the city of Boston. Just understand that your

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: mayor does not care how much of your resources she

94
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: has spent on people who are not citizens of Boston.

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: So we have a bunch of clown mayors running these cities.

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: It's running our honestly, some of our coolest cities. And

97
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: I know in rural America it's very common because that's

98
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: really where I grew up. It's very common to look

99
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: down on city people, and in city people look out

100
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: on rural America. It works both ways. But you know me,

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I've been very honest about this. I love them both.

102
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: I always have, I always will. I love being in

103
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: the mountains alone in Montana, I love it. I love

104
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: being on a lake bass fishing in Tennessee, I love it.

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I love New York City, I love Los Angeles. I

106
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: have a blast in Chicago. Boston is one of the

107
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: great American cities. Great American cities, and our great cities

108
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: are run by MAOIs, full blown maoists. And the truth is,

109
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: just like the red areas that fail so much to deliver.

110
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: We voted for all this, it's hard for us to accept. Look,

111
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not putting the blame on you, even if you're

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: listening on the Great WRKO and Boston, right, I'm not

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: blaming you because I'm sure you didn't vote for that

114
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: commie hag. But the voter as a whole has chosen

115
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: this path and we should remember that. If we want

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the US AID money for training mice to stop flowing,

117
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: if we want Boston to have some kind of a

118
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: sane mayor, if we want the Texas state legislature to

119
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: be even halfway decent at all, if we want better

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: US Senators Oklahoma, James Langford, if we want these things,

121
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: it's up to us to make these things happen. We

122
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: all fall into the trap. It's a human nature thing.

123
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: I do it too. It's human nature. Like we have

124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: an election. We had an election. Donald Trump won the election,

125
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: and this time he's just pushing forward fast, firing people here,

126
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: firing people there, and we just want him to fix

127
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: it all with. Trump needs to do this, and Trump

128
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: needs to stop the USA, and Trump needs to do that.

129
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Call in the sanctuary city people, and let we still

130
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: have a thousand battles to fight. I told you about

131
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: that before the election. I'll always say it. Yes, elections

132
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: are important, Presidential elections very very important. They're one battle

133
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: in a thousand that we still have to fight. The

134
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: truth is the city of Boston, the people as a whole, again,

135
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: not putting it on you. They want this kind of insanity.

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: The city of Chicago, they had Lori Lightfoot, They already

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: had a disastrous mayor. And this is the craziest part

138
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: about it. They hated her. They got mad about Lori Lightfoot,

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: got mad about all the wack of doodle stuff they did,

140
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: and they decided it's time for a change. And the

141
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: change was Brandon Johnson. The change was people flocking to

142
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the polls to vote for a socialist. We have to

143
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: do better, We the voter, have to do better. Me

144
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: me too.

145
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: Me.

146
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I am a citizen of not just America, I am

147
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: a citizen of Texas. I have to do more. I

148
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: have to do better. All is not well because Donald

149
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Trump is in the White House now. All is not fixed.

150
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: Far far from it. We have a ton of work

151
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: to do out there, and I mean a ton of

152
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: work to do out there. Let's just keep that in mind,

153
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: all right, Let's well I did enjoy this from Anna

154
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: Pauline Lumi to me.

155
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 6: After this line of questioning, it's very clear that these

156
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 6: policies that you have all implicated are active and alive

157
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: and well in your cities, are in direct violation with

158
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 6: US Title eight Code, Subsection thirteen twenty four and is

159
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 6: a federal offense. I do not think you guys are

160
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 6: bad people, but I think that you are ideologically misled,

161
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 6: which is why, unfortunately, based on your responses, I'm all

162
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 6: going to be criminally referring you to the Department of

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 6: Justice for investigation, and as soon as I leave here,

164
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: these will be going over to PAMBONDI.

165
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: Look, if you want to sell me on arresting communists

166
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: for violating American immigration law, I'm fine with that. But

167
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: even if you put Michelle Wu and Brandon Johnson and

168
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Mike Johnston, and even if you put all these people

169
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: in handcuffs tomorrow and sent them off to prison for

170
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: violating immigration law, that doesn't change the fact that the

171
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: voters of Chicago, Denver, Boston, you pick your American city,

172
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: the voters must change their behavior in this country or

173
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: things won't change. How many pieces of audio have I

174
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: played you out of Chicago. Of I rate Chicago residents

175
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: mad because Brandon Johnson stuffed all kinds of illegals in

176
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the community. You can't do this. That's our rec center,

177
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: those are our schools. This is an outrage. How many?

178
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: But who are you gonna vote for next time? Are

179
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: you going to change your behavior or is it going

180
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: to be the step Well my daddy always voted Democrat. Well,

181
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get what you get. Don't throw a fit.

182
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: Fred throws fits all the time. He mainly throws fits

183
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: whenever anyone leaves the room. You see, Fred only really

184
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: finds relief from his perpetual anxiety when all four members

185
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: of the family are together and all four are petting him.

186
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: That's the only scenario where Fred really finds any true

187
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: lasting happiness. He's He's just a dog that needs a

188
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: lot of love. He's a gigantic, seventy pound teddy Beery.

189
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: We love him some whole neighborhood, freaking country. I love

190
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: some big idiot. Then I maybe like him too a

191
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: little bit, And I want Fred to be around a

192
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: very long time. I told you he was sick, never

193
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: gets sick, But he finally got sick, got sick in

194
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: OB's car Ob of course, of course, says, I hope

195
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: he's not dying. It's just it's the thinking of losing him.

196
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't it hurt to lose your dog? Gosh, I've buried

197
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: way too many of them. Do you want to prolong

198
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: your dog's life? You want to have your dog years longer?

199
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: Start sprinkling rough Greens on his food. Your dog's food

200
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have any nutrition in it. It's brown because it's dead.

201
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Naturopathic doctor Dennis Black created the natural nutritional supplement Roughgreens

208
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: play anymore kiss music on the show. Jewish producer Chris

209
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: in case well you didn't hear it, but said that

210
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: he was about to play a kiss song and he

211
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: skipped over it. Kiss isn't that bad? Chris? And they've

212
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: got one or two. Okay, maybe a little, maybe a

213
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,479
Speaker 1: touch overrated. I'll give you that, Yes, a touch overrated.

214
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, what, do we know if that guy's tongue

215
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: is real or if that was some kind of like

216
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: prop or implant or something like that. Hasn't it ever weirded?

217
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: You ount that the guy's tongue. It's it's odd, like

218
00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: he looks like a lizard or something like that. What, Chris,

219
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: That's what I think. With the makeup in the hockey pads,

220
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: it has to be some kind of a problem. It's unnatural.

221
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't I'm uncomfortable. Look, I'm uncomfortable with the whole thing.

222
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. Jesse, First, I'm not asking

223
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: about the singer. The subject was Al Greene. He was great.

224
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: But what's up Texas Representative Al Greene? Well, what on it? Okay? Listen,

225
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Texas suffers from the same thing all of America suffers.

226
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: There really aren't many exceptions to the fact that America,

227
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: outside of American cities is a blood red place. That's

228
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: pretty universal just about every state you go into. You

229
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: love to make fun of New York. Yeah, New York's

230
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: a great one. Oh, that's New Yorkers. They're all Democrat.

231
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: New York's upset certainly red outside of New York City,

232
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: and yes, Alberta, New York's a very red place. Californians

233
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: stupid whack jobs. Outside of the cities, it's very red,

234
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: very very red. The only question is does the rural

235
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: population of your state outnumber the urban population of your state.

236
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: That's generally how you determine whether or not your state

237
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: is going to be red or blue. And people outside

238
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: of Texas they think of Texas as a place full

239
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: of cowboys and blood red politics, and this is, you know,

240
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: the beacon of Republican light in the States. And the

241
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: truth is that Texas cities are putrent, absolutely putrid. Now

242
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the city itself, but Texas City's

243
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: politics are every bit as disgusting as California city politics

244
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and Chicago politics, Seattle politics. You think that if I

245
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: was to ask you, you know, Seattle versus Houston, which

246
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: one do you think is more red? About one hundred

247
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: people out of one hundred outside of Texas would say, wow,

248
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: obviously Houston's a lot more red than Seattle. Is you know,

249
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: it's easy to try to poke fun at Seattle. Houston's

250
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:31,239
Speaker 1: politics are North Korea. They're awful, absolutely awful. The difference,

251
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: the main difference, is really the outer ring of the cities.

252
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: You see if you go to a place like Seattle. Yes,

253
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: there are red suburbs, of course, but some of the

254
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: suburbs of Seattle are very very blue as well. Texas

255
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: not so much. The cities. Dallas is blue, Austin's very

256
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: very blue, but Austin might be the most blue city

257
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. Houston's very very blue,

258
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: but about two feet outside of the city limits it

259
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: starts getting extremely extremely red. Some of the worst, absolute

260
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: worst people in the United States Congress come from red states,

261
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: and people outside of the red state don't understand it.

262
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you remember she La Jackson Lee.

263
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 5: He's as heavy as ten boxes.

264
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 6: That you might be moving.

265
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Where did you think she came from? She was a

266
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: Houston girl. Jasmine Crockett. How many pieces of audio if

267
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: we played for you, go, Caryl, that Jasmine Crockett nut job?

268
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Did you think she was from California? She's from Texas.

269
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,239
Speaker 1: Dallas area, a bad part of town in Dallas, shockingly,

270
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: but Dallas area. Dear Jesse Second Amendment. Fans say confiscating

271
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: guns will not stop people from killing each other, and

272
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: it won't. Then what makes us think that confiscating fentanyl

273
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: will stop people from killing themselves with drugs. Guns don't

274
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: kill people. People kill people. Fentanyl doesn't kill people. People

275
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: kill themselves by taking fentanyl. Eager to hear your response

276
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: to how to differentiate those two situations, Well, I will

277
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: say this, In part you're correct and in part you're not.

278
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: So let me explain. I do not think like a

279
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: drug addict because I'm not one, but I'm not judging right.

280
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I've had my struggles of various with various things in

281
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: my life. It's just drugs. We're never one of those things.

282
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: So if you're a recovering one or trying to recover,

283
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: I get it. Just keep struggling, keep fighting, you'll get

284
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: through it. But people who know druggies, people who know

285
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: drug addicts, will tell you that when you say fentanyl

286
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: is so powerful that it can kill you in one dose,

287
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: that you ask me non druggy, I think to myself,

288
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, get me a mile away from that stuff.

289
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: That sounds terrible To a druggie, that's music to his ears.

290
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: He's chasing a high and wait a minute, I can

291
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: get so high I can die. Where do I sign up?

292
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: So in that regard, you're right. But the problem with

293
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: fentanyl is they put it in other things that are

294
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: thought of as being more safe. They drop a little

295
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: fentanyl in this drug or that drug you think you're

296
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: taking whatever, I don't know, ecstasy or something like that,

297
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: if that's even still a thing, and then you die.

298
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: That's the problem with it. Everyone who dies from fentanyl

299
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily know they were taking fentanyl. That's the difference.

300
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: All right, Brandon Wikert is going to educate us on ukraine.

301
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: Before he does that, let's talk about pain. Ukraine and

302
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: pain that actually rhymes. I wished i'd done something. If

303
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: I had to do that over again, Chris, I would

304
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: have rhymed that in some way. And I can't believe

305
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think of that because I'm so fast on

306
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: my feet. Don't you agree, Chris? Anyway, Maybe I'm so

307
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: fast because I'm not in pain because of relief factor.

308
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,120

Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly Show, and joining me now gets one of

322
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: my favorite guests, especially when we're talking about war and

323
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: foreign policy and things like that. Brandon Wikert, you really,

324
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: really really should be reading his books. You're gonna get

325
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot smarter if you do. Hey, Brandon, I read

326
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: about this little book. It's about how we lost Ukraine,

327
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: how the West lost Ukraine. Do you know anything about that?

328
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I've only been warning people about this even

329
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 5: before the book came out, when I was writing at

330
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 5: the Asia times, which I'm not there anymore. But you know,

331
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 5: three years ago I wrote an article called Ukraine is

332
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: going to lose, and you can imagine I got a

333
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: lot of hate mail from our NATO friends on that.

334
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: But you know, we lost Ukraine. It's been lost, and

335
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 5: it's about time somebody recognizes that. And it looks like

336
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: Trump does, and we're going to make adjustments to our

337
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: policy and we're going to get out of this situation

338
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 5: we're in right now, which was brought on by Biden.

339
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so take us who aren't experts through it all,

340
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: because it's something I do discuss. I don't spend a

341
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: ton of time on it. You wrote the book, You

342
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: actually wrote the book, and I want be able to

343
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: go buy it. How did we lose it? What happened?

344
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 5: Well, so it goes back to the end of the

345
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: Cold War and all that era of good feelings that

346
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: existed right after the fall of the Soviet Union, and basically,

347
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 5: for the first time really in centuries, Ukraine had an

348
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: opportunity to be truly independent, free of Russia, and the Russians,

349
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: much to their credit, were open to that possibility for

350
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: the first time, and the Americans, of course were pushing

351
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: for it, and the Europeans wanted it. It was a

352
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: new day. And so the only kaveat really the Russians

353
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: had for allowing Ukraine, which is sort of like Mexico

354
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 5: to us. That's what Ukraine is to Russia. The only

355
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: kaveat they had in Moscow was please do not make

356
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: Ukraine a member of NATO. They were even okay with

357
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 5: making Ukraine a member of the European Union. They said,

358
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 5: just don't do NATO. Don't do military expansion into Ukraine,

359
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: because for us that's a red line. And as long

360
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 5: as you do that, we will agree to allow for

361
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 5: Ukraine remain not only independent, but we will work with

362
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 5: you to ensure its neutrality. And ultimately, the Americans and NATO,

363
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: they may have said all the right words to the

364
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 5: Russians and made all the promises in the world, but

365
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 5: ultimately the ultimate goal was to absorb Ukraine into NATO.

366
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 5: And it is that move by NATO over the last

367
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 5: thirty years to make Ukraine a part of the alliance

368
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: that led to the current crisis between Russia and the

369
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 5: United States.

370
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: Okay, can you explain why NATO US UK Why were

371
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: we so hot to make Ukraine part of all this.

372
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: If that was a red line for Russia, then why

373
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: not just say, Okay, well, I mean that's your red line, whatever,

374
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: we'll stay out. We'll make it neutral too. Why not

375
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: why not just come to that agreement.

376
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 5: Why Well, there's a few different races. The first is

377
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 5: we believed the Russians basically didn't matter anymore after the

378
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: Cold War ended, in the Soviet Union collapsed back to

379
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 5: the nineties, Russia was a back case nation. So basically

380
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 5: we were the victors and we thought we could kind

381
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: of do whatever we wanted. Then the other issue was

382
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 5: it was too geopolitically tempting. This was the weakest Russia

383
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 5: had been in centuries, So why would we wait for

384
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 5: them to rebuild and reassert themselves when we could easily

385
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 5: encircle them by expanding NATO not only in the Ukraine,

386
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: but before that, expanding NATO into all the former Soviet

387
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 5: or most of the former Soviet bloc states to kind

388
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: of be right on their border. And it was all

389
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 5: part of a larger movement. And I found the data.

390
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 5: I have this in my book. The receipts are there.

391
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: Back in the nineties, in particular, there were think tanks

392
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 5: that were consulting with the US government, with NATO, with

393
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 5: the different European governments. They were pushing this idea of

394
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 5: encircling the weakened post Soviet Russia in order to collapse

395
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 5: the Russian central government and to split Russia up into

396
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 5: four or five smaller countries so that Western multinational firms

397
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 5: could move in and more easily exploit the trillions of

398
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 5: dollars of rare earth minerals and natural gas and oil

399
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 5: deposits that are in Russia. And so this was part

400
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 5: of a larger move of expanding American and NATO interests

401
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 5: into Russia. Russia that would be permanently divided and weakened

402
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: amongst itself. It's an insane idea, of course, because, as

403
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 5: I note in the book, nobody seemed to bring up

404
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 5: the fact that, hey, Russia's got all these nukes and

405
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 5: chemical weapons and biological weapons. Do you think they're just

406
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 5: going to sit back and let us do that? And

407
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 5: obviously the answer is the same people, the neo conservative

408
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 5: neoliberal cabal that got us into your Rock, that got

409
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 5: us into the Arab Spring, that lost US Afghanistan, they

410
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: were the same people pushing us into this war with Russia,

411
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 5: and they obviously thought it didn't matter that Russia had

412
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 5: those nukes. They could do whatever they wanted, because those

413
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 5: are the people driving this policy for the last thirty years.

414
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: Speaking with Brandon Weikert is an author of a lot

415
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: of great books, but his one we're discussing now, A

416
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: Disaster of our Own Making, is a must read if

417
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: you want to know a lot more than your friends

418
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: about what's going on in the world. Okay, so it's

419
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: lost now, but where do we go from here? Every

420
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: single day it seems like we're on this bizarre roller

421
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: coaster rides. Lelensky shows up in the White House, poops

422
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: his pants, then he runs to Europe and courts them.

423
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: But then he comes out sounds like he's cordial. Now

424
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: the next moment he's not cordial. Anyway, How does this end?

425
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's one of two things. Either we are

426
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 5: going to slide into a nuclear world war with Russia,

427
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 5: which is where we were headed under Biden, or we

428
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 5: are going to get a new peace deal that will

429
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 5: basically freeze the conflict where it is, will allow for

430
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: the Russians to retain the regions of Ukraine they have

431
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 5: held in eastern Ukraine and in crime Media. It will

432
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 5: allow Ukraine to exist as a rump state, and it

433
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 5: will basically enforce neutrality on that rump Ukrainian state in

434
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 5: the western part of the country and ensure that it

435
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 5: never joins NATO again. We will likely be made to

436
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 5: recognize the legality of Crimea's annexation by Russia in twenty fourteen.

437
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: And it's basically the Istanbul agreement from twenty twenty two,

438
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: the agreement that Zelenski wanted to negotiate to begin with.

439
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: After the Kiev was defended against the initial Russian invasion,

440
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: the Russians went to ishtan Bull, the Turks were brokering it,

441
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: the Israelis were involved as well. Zelenski was going to

442
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: go meet and basically do this exact same deal in

443
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, until Boris Johnson, who was the head

444
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: of the UK at that time, and Joe Biden's people

445
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 5: meddled and said, you're not doing this because our goal

446
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 5: is to drag the war on as long as possible

447
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 5: so we can bleed the Russian army in the field.

448
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: And here we are four years later. We're exactly where

449
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 5: we were in twenty twenty two, except the Ukrainians are

450
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: we and they're going to collapse if the war continues

451
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 5: for another six months. There will not be a Ukrainian

452
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 5: army if things continue, regardless of whether we're giving them

453
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: made or not, because the Russians are bleeding them out.

454
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 5: The Russians are winning on the battlefield.

455
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Why are the Russians winning on the battlefield.

456
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 5: They have more men, they have more equipment. They are

457
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: a defense industrial base is more effective than ours. Mark Rutza,

458
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 5: the head of NATO, said last month. He made the

459
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 5: comment that Russia is producing weapons every three months at

460
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: the same rate it takes a full year for all

461
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 5: of the combined NATO countries to produce. So Russia's already

462
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 5: on a wartime economy and they've already broken. You know,

463
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: we were sanctioning them for so long. The sanctions did

464
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 5: the opposite. They didn't make Russia weaker. They made Russia

465
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 5: stand up on their own and be stronger. And so

466
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 5: this is where we are. And if we don't get

467
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: a deal now, there won't be a Ukraine anymore. There

468
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 5: will be nothing.

469
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: That's so freaking sad. And before I let you go,

470
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: are we going to war with China? I saw some

471
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: comments today out of the Chinese war, this and war

472
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: that in trade war, and everybody's quaking in their granny panties.

473
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Now what's going on.

474
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: I think that we are at a very very dangerous point.

475
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 5: But keep in mind Trump has been This is not

476
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 5: well known. I know this for a fact, but Trump

477
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: has been sending love letters back and forth between him

478
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 5: and g Jinping since he was inaugurated. I think Trump

479
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 5: basically is trying to get a better deal with China.

480
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 5: This is the art of the deal you're seeing with

481
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 5: these tariffs. Remember the tariffs were originally supposed to be

482
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 5: twenty five percent. Yesterday when he announced them, they were

483
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 5: only at ten percent, whereas with Mexico and Canada they're

484
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: going to be twenty five percent. So I think Trump

485
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 5: is trying to avoid a war. Now. The problem is

486
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: that probably means Taiwan is the sacrificial lamb at the

487
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 5: end of the day. But Trump wants to avoid war

488
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 5: because Trump knows one thing. We are no longer in

489
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 5: the unipolar world water. We're in a tripolar world system.

490
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 5: That is a system run by US, Russian and Chinese forces,

491
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 5: and so we're going to have to change the way

492
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: we normally operate.

493
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: He is Brandon Wikert. Go buy his book, Brandon. Where

494
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: can people get this thing?

495
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 5: Eddiewhere books are sold, but I'd recommend Amazon since that's

496
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: the easiest way.

497
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Go get his stuff. Brandon, my brother, thank you as always.

498
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: That was awesome, Chris. I feel like we need to

499
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: have Brandon Wiker done for like an hour sometime and

500
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: just get really smart and then we'll rub it in

501
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: everyone's face and act like we knew all that. What Chris? Also, Hey, Chris,

502
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: did you notice he was talking about a lot of

503
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: the same stuff I was talking about last night? What

504
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: are you not honored to be here with me? That

505
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: you that you were so wise? You're so much wiser

506
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: than you were before. Anyway, you know what else would

507
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: be wise? Supporting gold star families and fallen first responder families,

508
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: that would be wise. Did you notice last night did

509
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: you notice Donald Trump honored Remember that widow, the New

510
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: York cop widow. She was there, just young, just heartbroken.

511
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: Woman talked about it's Jonathan Diller, wizard name, talked about

512
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: her and her son and whatnot. And I actually had

513
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: the honor of city. I told you I was watching

514
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: with ob and I turned to ob and I said,

515
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, tunnel to towers. They paid off that woman's mortgage.

516
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't bring dad back, it doesn't bring her husband back,

517
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't change the heartbreak. But in the very least

518
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: that place, those people have a roof over their head. Now,

519
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: isn't that awesome. I want you to know. That's what

520
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: you do with your eleven dollars a month. T the

00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: listening to the Jesse Kelly Show. You're welcome. It is

524
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday. I remember, remember

525
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: if you miss any part of the show, you can

526
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: download the whole thing on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So here's

527
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: my unpopular opinion about Slotkin. Senator Slotkin, she gave the

528
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: rebuttal last night. It's not that I loved it. Okay,

529
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: I didn't love it. It wasn't for me. But at least

530
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: some of these people seemed to be aware they need

531
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: to not sound like loons at all times. I didn't

532
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: love what she said, but she tried to make herself

533
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: sound more Americana and normal.

534
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 7: President Trump loves to say peace through strength. That's actually

535
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 7: a line he stole from Ronald Reagan. But let me

536
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 7: tell you, after the spectacle that just took place in

537
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 7: the Oval Office last week, Reagan must be rolling in

538
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 7: his grave. We all want an end to the war

539
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 7: in Ukraine. But Reagan understood that true strength required America

540
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 7: to combine our military an economic might with moral clarity.

541
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: We all want an end of the war in Ukraine. Really,

542
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump actually did get an applause line out

543
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: of Democrats last night. Remember it, Do you want to

544
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: keep it going for another five years?

545
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you would say. Pocahonta says, yes.

546
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: You want to keep it going. What was the it

547
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: he was talking about? He was talking about Ukraine funding.

548
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: They couldn't get an applause out of Democrats all night long.

549
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: The only applause line was five more years of taking

550
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: money out of your pocket and handing it to a

551
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: foreign country. That was the only thing that gave Elizabeth

552
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: Warren the vapors goh Lee. The tariff thing. Trump today

553
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: paused Canada and Mexico auto tariffs. Remember we told you

554
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: that was coming last night. They we're negotiating, We're working

555
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: on something. I wouldn't be surprised to see the tariff

556
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: thing work out in the end where they have to

557
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: lower a little, we have to lower a little. Now,

558
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to work out with everybody.

559
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: There are going to be countries that call his bluff.

560
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: But Donald Trump talked about tariffs last night and he

561
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: laid it out. Look, he made his case pretty well.

562
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: We have all these countries South Korea, you've called them

563
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: out by name. We have all these countries that they

564
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: tearify our stuff, and we do all these things for them.

565
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: They tear if us in ways we don't teariff them,

566
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: and our military we are what maintains what sustains South

567
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: Korea still to this day. A lot of people don't realize,

568
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Korean War never ended, right officially, there

569
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: was no peace treaty. It's still going on. So why

570
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: isn't anyone killing anyone else? Because the United States militaries

571
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: posted right there and North Korea doesn't want to get

572
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: vaporized into the sun. That's why. That's exactly why. All

573
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: right now, let's let's do some emails. Dear spineless pundit,

574
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: you speak about millions of dollars being caught going to

575
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: spread American influence around the world, as if it's terrible.

576
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: But the tax cuts will add trillions to our debt

577
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: to benefit turds such as yourself, while the middle class

578
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: will struggle even more. A reminder that there are so

579
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: many communists in this country who just have to be defeated.

580
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: That's it. They hear this list and they're happy.

581
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: For forty million dollars to improve the social and economic

582
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight

583
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the African nation

584
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: of Lesuto, which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million

585
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: dollars for indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America,

586
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars.

587
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: When he says spreading American influence around the globe, don't

588
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: be under the impression that this guy, that the American communist,

589
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: doesn't know what that means. He knows exactly what it means.

590
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: Spreading degenerate filth around the globe, in his mind, is

591
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: what America should do. America shouldn't be spreading freedom. America

592
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't be you know, protecting people in his mind, the

593
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: American taxpayer. Remember, communists want the American taxpayer to fund

594
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: their political activism. If you were to all explain it

595
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: this way, if you were to say, let's say you

596
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: were petitioning your congressman, your senator, Donald Trump himself, and

597
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: you were to say something like this, Hey, uh, I

598
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: want you in this upcoming budget. I want you to

599
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: include five hundred million dollars to ensure everybody is given

600
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: a free pro life education, a free ultrasound. I want

601
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: everybody to get a free AR fifteen. And I want

602
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: the government to put all this stuff in the budget.

603
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Pay for these things. You love that stuff, I'm assuming,

604
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't want it in the budget, would you,

605
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: Because that's not right federal government. One shouldn't pay for

606
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: any of that, but let alone pay for your political activism.

607
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: You don't want that. That's not right federal government. That's

608
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: not one of the functions of the federal government. You

609
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: don't get to take taxpayer funds and do political things

610
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: with it. But to the communist, what is the point

611
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: of taking power unless you can do those things? Of

612
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: course that's what he wants. This moron comming who just

613
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: emailed me. He knows exactly the truth. He knows the

614
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,240
