Closing time on Thanksgiving?
Hi Brent -
On the Thanksgiving morning shift, how early might I be able to shut down?
( I ask because we are going to friends' house for dinner. They start at 1pm, but, they have tons of food and people coming and going all do, so it's all flexible. )

Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show on a Thursday. Of course, I know I've
sound like crap and I can't open the show the
way I want to and scream and yell and have fun.
I understand that, but it is me. I am alive
(00:31):
and I'm fine. I just sound like death warmed over.
So here's what we have tonight on the Jesse Kelly Show.
We have the talking points, the specific talking points that
went out to the media. You're going to love this.
In fact, we're going to talk about this to open
up the show. This Russia Chinese strategic bomber over Alaska.
(00:52):
We're going to discuss that a big financial fraud thing,
a great, great development when it comes to local police
versus the FBI. All that and so much more, of course,
including ask doctor Jesse questions. We're going to talk about
the norms, starting a small business, politics, the shooting, all
(01:13):
that coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly's Show.
I want to begin here. You know, we talk about
the system. We talk about the hive mind, how the
average communist, your liberal and pagy, the people you see
in the media, how they're really more robot than human.
And they want to be Remember remember, you crave freedom
(01:38):
in a way they do not. Do not put your
values onto them. They want to be told what to do,
what to think, where to go. They want to be
guided and cared for. And that's a very common human condition.
You're freedom lover, You're different, but these people are not.
(01:58):
And that's why the hive mind works. Even if the
hive mind is uploading lies to them, they prefer the
safety of the lies, the hive mind says. And here's
how it works. Things get disseminated, the system decides on
a course of action. They began to disseminate that information
(02:21):
out to the public through the hive mind. The public
ends up being the enforcers themselves of the truth. The
airfingers quote truth the hive mind gave to them. You
want an example of this before we get into what
they just did. How many people in your life. How
many people in your life yelled at you or at
(02:45):
least guided you about why you needed to wear a
mask during COVID How many people? How many you had
someone didn't you? Maybe it was your mom, your daughter,
your boss, a coworker, someone you want to twist school with,
played sports with somebody in your life they told you, hey,
(03:05):
wear a mask. Could you pull your mask up? Make
sure you're wearing a mask? Didn't they?
Now here's the question,
where did they get that information from? You See, prior
to COVID, there was never a call. In my forty
three years on this planet, there was never a call
(03:26):
for widespread usage of the mask. In fact, at the
beginning of COVID, even guys like Fauci are on camera
laughing about the idea of everyone in the general public
masking up. There's actually audio of this Fauci on camera saying, no,
we're not gonna everyone's not gonna walk around wearing a mask.
(03:47):
It's not even gonna do anything. And then fast forward
five minutes later and your liberal aunt Peggy is screaming
that you're not allowed in her studio apartment if you
don't put three masks on. Well, the hive mind told
her that's what good citizens do, that's what good people do.
(04:08):
And then liberal aunt Peggy became one of the main
enforcers of the lie.
The system told the public that's
how it works. And so, gosh, I sound horrible. I'm sorry,
I sound so horrible. I swear I'm gonna be better
when I get back. It's just my voice.
I feel
fine my voice. But so you've heard, it's been all
(04:31):
over the news for about the last forty eight hours
about the borders are controversy. Now, in case you're just
now turning and on maybe you're behind, here's what it is.
I'll give you the one minute breakdown of it. Joe
Biden gets elected. Joe Biden's wife Jill, hates Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden opens up the borders so all the dirt
(04:51):
balls can flood into the country. It's immediately a controversy.
It's a controversy. Joe Biden doesn't want to work with
so on camera, on camera, Joe Biden, he's sitting at
a table. He hands the responsibility of the border to Dome.
He hands responsibility of the border to Kamala Harris. This
is all done on camera, and on camera she accepts
(05:14):
the responsibility. Again, all this is done on camera. It's
not like you have to do the hurt from a
guy who heard from a guy thing. All this video
is readily available. Okay, So he hands to the border,
but Dome. Remember Dome doesn't have any principles at all. Honestly,
she's not even really a committed communist. She's really not.
(05:35):
Dome's only principle is ambition promotion. Well, she's not Dome.
She's not going to run down to the border and
jump on that grenade for Joe Biden. So she just
never goes. Remember she never goes. The only thing she
did she flew down to Guatemala and lectured them about
climate change. Remember that. So she never went only she
(05:59):
was the Borders Are. Media ran with it, everyone ran
with it. She was known as the Borders Are. Well,
now you see, Democrats have a problem. The problem is
(06:20):
There are two things in every single public opinion poll
that move the needle towards Republicans in a way from Democrats.
Immigration and inflation. Those are the two biggest issues on
the minds of voters right now. People can't afford to live,
they can't afford basics, and so they're upset can't pay
the bills. Here's a headline. The percentage of Americans that
worry they won't be able to pay their bills is
higher than it was during the Great Depression. That's from
zero hedge. People are upset their dollar isn't going as far,
(06:43):
and they're upset about immigration, which ties into that as well,
and they blame Democrats for both those things. Well, if
Democrats are already underwater on an issue like immigration, and
you make the Democrat nominee the person who's the quote
borders are, well, that kind of huh. It doesn't look
very good, doesn't it. It looks terrible. What are they doing? Well,
(07:07):
they're lying. The hive mind has come up with a
new upload. So I'm going to read for you. I'm
going to read for you a couple of things, and
just tell me. It's been about forty eight hours. Tell
me if any of these things sound familiar, if you've
heard or read any of these things. Okay, you ready,
I'm going to start reading now. Vice President Harris was
(07:29):
never appointed Borders are. There has never been such a position.
It doesn't exist. Borders Are was a title invented by Republicans.
She was not asked to lead the administration's immigration or
border enforcement policies. The role focus on changing conditions in
(07:51):
other countries, not the US border crossings by migrants from Guatemala, Honduras,
El Salvador, the country's vice president. Harris's root cause portfolio
have decreased dramatically in recent years. Have you heard in
the last twenty four to forty eight hours, have you
heard anybody repeat any of those talking points? Maybe all
(08:14):
of them? Oh? You have? Do you know where I
read them from? This was leaked from a Democrat on
Capitol Hill. I read that from the note card where
the talking points were disseminated to other Democrats and media members.
Now they all say the same thing. They've never assigned
(08:38):
the position of borders are They're making that up. You
see sometimes the hive mind, and it's upload to all
the drones who plug into it. Sometimes it's not just
some random thing or something that happens in dark rooms somewhere.
Sometimes the hive mind they print out the lies on
(09:01):
back in black and white. They hand these lies out
to Democrat politicians, loser Republican politicians and leadership media members,
and then the people with these big, powerful platforms they
disseminate these lies out to the general public. Your liberal
aunt Peggy receives these lies, believes these lies, and then
(09:25):
becomes the enforcement arm of these lies. So when you
get together for her witch ceremony or whatever she's doing,
this weekend and you walk in the house and she's
wearing her Harris twenty twenty four t shirt and the
subject of borders are comes up. She will scream at
you until she's blue in her inner face that she
(09:48):
Kamala Harris was never the borders czar. You're a lying
You're a Republican. You made that entire thing up.
in
liberal aunt Peggy will believe it.
That is how all
the hive mind works. That is how the system works.
That is how they got a country of three hundred
and thirty million people to stand six feet away from
(10:10):
each other and pretend like that stupid paper mask that
looks like a screen door on your back porch is
stopping the microscopic virus that's floating around in the air.
How could these things happen? The hive mind disseminates the lies.
The people themselves, the politicians, the media members repeat the lies,
(10:32):
and soon the lies become truth. And that ties me
right into the people who still believe the media. We
haven't asked doctor Jesse question about that. We'll get to
that in a moment. Are you are you not interested
in signing up to be part of the hive mind.
(11:39):
com promo code Jesse or you can call them, text
them five zero chock three thousand. We'll be back fighting
for your freedom every day. The Jesse Kelly Show, it
is the Jesse Kelly Show on Alaringitis Thursday. I'm just kidding,
(12:01):
it's an ass doctor Jesse Thursday. In fact, I'm going
to talk about I was just talking about that the
lies they've already disseminated to the press. Now we're gonna
discuss Well, someone hasn't asked doctor Jesse question about that,
and Jesse, I want to hit my normy friend over
the head with a cinder block. Ah, quick side note,
please don't do that. Don't don't hit anybody with any cinderblocks.
(12:22):
Do you think that might help him see the world
more clearly? He told me he can understand why the
media is in the tank for the Libs, but insists
that if they were really that they wouldn't have gone
or why I think the media is in the tank
for the Libs, but says if they were really they
wouldn't have gone after Joe Biden like I did. Is
(12:43):
this norm really just a subconscious COMI I would love
to know your thoughts on this. His name is Johnny.
So this guy, Johnny is talking to his friend and
he's telling his friend about the apparatus in the media,
and his friend says, no, all these people they're not Libs.
They wouldn't have gone after Joe Biden. If they were
(13:05):
all libs, you're crazy. An he want to know, was
his friend a subconscious commy? No, your friend is a
normal human being and I'm not saying that as a
compliment at all. Your friend is like, well, eighty ninety
percent of the population, you know, let's just have a
(13:27):
long talk about this. Most of the population, most people
are normal and want to be normal, and they don't
want to stand out in any way. In fact, most
people actively avoid standing out doing things differently. Let me
(13:48):
ask you something. Does this show sound like other shows
A little different, isn't it? Why is that? Well, you
know what set this show aside? Let's talk about the
other shows for a moment. Obviously, there's some wonderful shows
out there. I'm not indicting all of them, but why
does this why does so many of them sound the same?
Because you get this dream job, you want to do
(14:10):
talk radio for a living, and what do you want
to do? What do you sit down to do? You
sit down and you try to sound like everyone else.
It's a perfectly natural instinct. Well, I want to try
to sound like Rush Limbaugh when there's only one Rush Limbaugh.
I want to sound like Glenn Beck. I want to
do that. But you're not those guys. I'm not those guys.
You go do it differently, you be you. But most
(14:33):
people don't That's why all shows sound the same. Most
people just want to believe what others believe. They don't
want to think more deeply. They don't want to break
out of it. You need to understand, I talk to
you about this a lot, how truly unique you are.
And I'm not saying that to compliment you, although it
(14:55):
very much is a compliment. You need to understand that
you're different because it will help you understand your norm
and normal friend more. I'm not saying you won't get
angry with them. I get angry with mine all the time,
and I get frustrated and I can't get them to vote,
and I can't get them involved, and I'm trying, and
I'm trying, and I'm beating my head against the wall.
But I have to constantly remind myself, and my wife
(15:17):
helps remind me that I don't think about politics and
power in countries and history in a way that most
people do. You think like me, We don't think like
they do. And you know, what do you know? How
much do you know about Genghis Khan? And no, I'm
not going to do a very long long history, but
(15:38):
for those who don't know Genghis Khan came up. He
rose up from what was essentially a tribal society, not
essentially from a tribal society in the Asian Step. The
Asian Step is this extremely inhospitable place. Essentially draw a
horizontal line through the middle of Asia, a big thick
(15:59):
horizon line through the middle of Asia, and that's considered
the step. It's hot and it's cold, and it's mountains
and it's desert, and it's really really really rough terrain.
And Genghis Khan and his Mongols, they were one of many,
many horseback nomadic cultures in the Asian Step, and they
were super super vicious with how they did warfare and
(16:24):
super great at warfare. And Genghis Khan comes along and
he takes these these small tribes, a bunch of different ones,
and he essentially conquers his way into commanding all of
them into one gigantic Mongol army. And then this Mongol
army launches forward and they begin attacking China, and they're
(16:46):
attacking the Muslim Empire of the Middle East, and they're
attacking the Christian Empires in Europe, and they just keep
destroying everybody. And when they destroy people, part of what
made it so jaw dropping was Honestly, it was worse
than the things the Assyrians did. If the Mongols told
you submit or die, they meant it when they conquered
(17:10):
your city. If you had been given the option to
submit and you didn't, they will kill everybody, every man, woman, child,
They would kill the pets. They were so committed to
killing everybody. They would leave a city after they've killed everyone,
and they'd send people back a couple weeks later to
(17:31):
go make sure there weren't any people in hiding who
came out so they could make sure they killed them too,
And then they would build a mountain of skulls outside
of the city of all the heads they chopped off
as a message to other people. It wasn't as if
they were shy about this whole thing. The Mongols would
(17:52):
show up at your door say submit or you will die,
and if you didn't submit, they would kill every single person.
And then they would practice for the year. For the
twelve hundreds, they practically put it on the internet, broadcasting
to everyone this is coming, this will happen to you
if you mess with us. They were not shy about this.
(18:13):
They bragged about this. Now, what does this have to
do with your friend and the media and everything else.
I will explain that after I get done explaining that.
What you really need right now, since you still have
ahead the Mongols haven't chopped off, what you need is
to lay that head on a queen size premium my
pillow right now, because they're only nineteen dollars and ninety
(18:35):
five cents. Look, you have a head. Genghis Khan hasn't
chopped it off, so treat it right. You understand the
my pillows they're just different. That phil they put in
there is different. I've got everyone in my family, even
my sons insist on having one. Now it's nothing but
my pillows all over the house and my mattress toppers.
(19:00):
Mattress toppers are incredible. You get them as low as
sixty nine ninety eight right now at my pillow dot com.

call eight hundred eighty four five zero five four four
we'll be back. Feeling a little stocky, follow like and
subscribe on social at Jesse Kelly Show. It is the
Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday. Shut up, Chris, I
know my voice doesn't sound good. Okay, I'm doing the
(19:43):
best I can, and I'm doing the best I can
not to project too much, because then it's just gonna
go out and we're gonna have a one hour Jesse
Kelly Show on a Thursday instead of a three hour
Jesse Kelly Show. And I don't want that because I
love you and I miss you, and I'm not gonna
be able to do my show for a couple of days. Remember,
I'm not gonna be here. Look, I'm not going to
be here for a couple of days. I have a
Marine Corps reunion tomorrow and then the suits are dragging
(20:05):
me all over the country next week for a couple
of days doing suit things. What Chris, what is the
Marine Corps reunion at a bar? No? I tell you.
I'll get to that in a minute. I want to
finish my thought. So I was just talking about the
guy wrote in and he's complaining about his normy friend
doesn't think the media is How could the media be
in the tank for Biden or for Democrats when they
(20:27):
just took out Joe Biden. Okay, and I was talking
about the history of Genghis Khan, just a little brief
history on his conquests and how they did conquests back then,
how they used to kill everyone when they would show up.
If they conquered your city, everyone was going to die.
But my point in all that was this, even after
Mongol conquests that had already killed millions of people. It says,
(20:54):
without bombs or bullets, millions of people had already died
underneath the Mongol conquests even then when you read the
history books, when you read the stories of it, when
Genghis Khan and his juggernaut army would approach virtually everywhere,
(21:16):
it just it was the common theme everywhere, The common
theme amongst the populations where he was coming was Okay, well,
oh he's coming, but he's not really that tough. He
can't really do this, he won't really do that, surely
he's not. I think about I think about what happened
(21:37):
in Hungary. I think about what happened in various places
in Russia where they would they would send warnings ahead
of time. People who knew Ganghis Khan knew the conquests,
and they would go sit down with a king somewhere,
a prince, and they'd say, Hey, this huge army is
coming and they're going to kill every man, woman and child,
and they're going to kill him very, very quickly if
(21:59):
we don't batten down the hatches or escape or join
an alliance. And those people were laughed off almost every time.
Oh please, Oh he's not that. It is human nature.
It is human nature when things are really really bad
(22:20):
to pretend as if they aren't, because accepting a world
where things are really really bad is somehow more painful
than just living in a world of make believe lies.
Your normy friend, he's not a bad person. He's probably
not even a closet communist. What he is, he's an
(22:41):
eighty percenter. He's just like most of the population. He
understands that, yeah, this individual in the media may be
bad or this one, but he can never fully accept
that the people in the United States government, both politicians
and bureaucrats, work hand in hand with the media, the
(23:02):
education system, and other entities in this country to burn
down the United States of America, and their intention is
to do that so they can acquire money and power
for themselves during the burning. If you were to give
that very simple truth to your normy neighbor, even if
a teeny tiny little part of him wanted to believe it,
(23:25):
or even a little teeny tiny part of him knew
you were right when you said it, he still would
cease to believe it, because what does it mean, if
Genghis Khan really is coming, what does it mean? It's
too much, It's too much to think about, so they
ignore it and pretend it's not happening until the day
(23:48):
Genghis shows up at the door. Our quest, your quest,
my quest to wake up the norms and normas in
our lives. It is going to be a lifelong quest
that is going to be met with much more failure
than success. We will have successes, and we have to
keep doing it because it's the only way we can
(24:10):
save this place. We will have successes, but there's going
to be more failure than successes because we don't have
a huge population to recruit from. Don't get me wrong,
we have a ton of people. I keep calling them
the eighty percent, but pick your number. The vast majority
of those people do not want to be unplugged from
(24:32):
the matrix. That world is scary and it's dark, and
that they would have to it would involve a lot
more effort. You know, here's something you don't probably think about,
something I honestly don't think about much. It takes effort
to care. It takes effort to care about anything in life,
(24:54):
whether that's how do you raise your kids, or or
maybe you are one of those kids, maybe you're in school,
your grades. It takes effort there. It takes effort to
care about work, It takes effort to care about things.
It takes effort to care about your country, It takes
effort to care about the evil people who are ruining it.
It takes effort, and a lot of people, I'm going
(25:17):
to use the word lazy, but that's probably not even
really fair, to be honest, a lot of people just
simply don't want to use any effort up stressing about
these things. Are they mad about the cost of eggs
and the cost of gas? Of course they are, But
if you ask them to really dig into it deeper,
why are the costs going up of everything? Why this?
(25:38):
Why that? Have you thought about this. They'll almost reject
it out of spite. And a big reason they'll do
that is it takes so much freaking work to actually
dig in and figure out how things work out there
does provocations. This is from Red State. Russian and Chinese
(26:00):
military aircraft were intercepted off the Alaskan coast. All right.
This is a couple of big strategic bombers. You can
look them up if you're one of the one of
the military nerds. Russian TU ninety fives and PRC six
is those are just don't worry about knowing what those are.
They're big bombers, Chinese bombers and Russian bombers, big strategic
(26:25):
bombers flying together, violating our airspace off the Alaskan coast.
NORAD figured out they were there and it was it's bad,
so they remained in international airspace, I should say, but
they got way, way, way closer than they should be.
(26:45):
Kind of one of those things where you used to
do to your when you were annoying, or if you
were that annoying kid or knew that annoying kid, where
he puts his finger an inch away from your face
and says, I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.
I'm not touching you. They did the Nation state version
of that i'm not touching you game. Now we're still
in international airspace. We just happened to be farting distance
(27:06):
away from your country. The truth is that we don't
even have a commander in chief right now. Peter Doucey
asked for in diversity hire pretty much the same question.
Are you getting sense? Yeah, based on everything that's been
going on that some of America's enemies might be looking
at what's happening here and think there's nobody in charge.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So let me just say this, there is very much
someone in charge of President is the President until the
end of his term.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So that.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Statement is certainly false. And we have seen the President
bring together our allies and partners. He reinvigorated NATO, He
got more than fifty countries behind Ukraine to make sure
that they were able to defend themselves against Putin. He
stood up to Putin, and he's done a lot more.
And now right now as we're speaking, I believe it's
still happening. The President is having a bylateral conversation meeting
(28:02):
with the Prime Minister of Israel. So who By the way,
the Prime Minster of Israel thanked the President for the
work that he's been he's been able to do in
helping to make sure that Israel is able to have
an ironclad security.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, there's nobody in charge. And look, this is the
same president, even if he is out of bed. This
is the same guy who allowed a Chinese spy balloon
to traverse from the west coast to the east coast
clear across the country without a response. Yeah, that's good point, Chris.
And look it took like a week. It's not like
(28:38):
this was five minutes. They just kind of let it
go for days. The enemies. No, all right, let's talk
about starting a business right now, being an adventurous person.
Right now, let's talk about Trump to see the system disruptor.
We're waiting for so much more. First, let's talk about this.
(29:00):
Let's talk about catastrophically injured veterans for a moment. You know,
here's one of the realities of these guys who come
back from combat and they're all blown up, you know,
missing arms, missing legs. One of the biggest burdens on
them is that they feel like a burden to family
(29:21):
and friends, you know, as a man. If your wife
has to help you in and out of the shower
every day, that can be rough. You hear that consistently
from these guys, how rough that is for them. You
know that Tunnel to Towers builds these guys smart homes,
homes that are built specifically for their injuries, so they
(29:43):
feel like less of a burden. Isn't that something so blessed?
That's just wonderful. I just want you to know that's
where your eleven dollars a month goes to Tunnel to Towers.
They just do incredible stuff. Go give eleven bucks a month.
If you aren't already, tea the number two T dot
org T two t dot org. We'll be back. You're
(30:06):
listening to the oracle. You love this one. It's a
screen baby, The Jesse Kelly Show. It is The Jesse
Kelly Show on a Thursday. We're gonna get to this
great news about local cops the FBI probably about ten minutes.
So now we need to get through some mass Doctor
Jesse questions. First, though, Jesse, given the signs of the times,
(30:28):
what are your thoughts on starting a small business in
the current social slash political climate. We're in a blue
run city, but it's full of military. Should we be
using our resources to prepare our families? All right? The
reason I wanted to read this is it I've had
a lot of different versions of this question, and not
(30:50):
necessarily always about starting a small business. But Jesse, my
wife and I are getting ready to retire. We've always
wanted to travel. Should we? What if we set that aside? Now?
Should we just stay home and buy ammunition? Is it
too unsafe to travel? You know about the flights, Jesse.
We're thinking about starting a small business, should we? Jesse,
I want to move out from my parents. I'm about
(31:11):
to graduate. I've always wanted to had a guy. I've
always wanted to go to Alaska and do work in
commercial fishing. And that's all the should I? Should I?
Should I? Or should I not? And the question always
comes back to basically this. The times are changing in
a lot of different ways. Times are getting worse. So
(31:31):
should I take these plans? Should I take my hopes, dreams,
motivations and set those aside because things around me are
going to crap? Obviously that's a decision you're gonna have
to make on your own. Pray about that and make
that on your own. But let me just tell you
this as clearly as I possibly can. Don't you dare
(31:55):
stop living your life for anybody. You are not going
to get a do over. You're not going to get
a second chance. You're going to live for maybe eighty years,
ninety years, and then you're going to die. And this
is the only eighty ninety years if you're lucky, God's
ever going to give you. If you have dreams of
(32:17):
seeing Zimbabwe, get on a freaking plane and fly to Zimbabwe.
If you have dreams of starting a small business, you'll
hate yourself twenty years. So now, if you don't try
a small business. If you have dreams of moving to Alaska,
joining the Peace Corps, the Marine Corps, or if you're
(32:37):
this the Air Force, go join whatever, Go have an adventure.
I have not done very many things right in my
forty three years on this planet. Lord knows, I have
screwed up enough of my life. I could write a
whole book about that of all the wrong I've done
(32:57):
and mistakes I've made. But I could say one general
thing I probably have done right of my forty three
years is it's been an adventure. If the Good Lord
takes me home tonight. I rode my forty three years
as hard as I could possibly ride them, and here
I am. And remember, most of my adventures have ended
(33:21):
in horrific failure. From running for Congress, lost twice, I've
almost died. My adventures just don't really work out for
the most part. This is the only huge, huge risk
I ever took that actually worked. But I still love it.
I still look back and I think, dang, I'm glad.
(33:42):
I freaking tried. You don't stop living your life whatever
you're doing. You know, my grandpa Hank, he just died
shortly a little while ago. God rest his soul. Is
a wonderful man that had a wonderful life. Don't feel bad.
It's the life everyone would dream of. Lived into his nineties.
He was a farmer. Died surrounding by his children who
(34:05):
loved and adored him. But my grandma his wife, obviously,
my Grandma Helen had passed some years ago, and my
Grandpa Hank, he's an older man. You know, your body
doesn't last forever. It wasn't as sharp, and I mean,
I mean eyes weren't as sharp. He was a very
sharp man, but eyes weren't as sharp ears aren't as good.
(34:26):
Your reaction time isn't there. And he used to just
drive across the country by himself all the time. He
drove clear to Alaska from Ohio by himself. You know,
my mom, his daughter and us were talking about it.
Did you hear what grandpa was doing? And I remember
having these conversations like what he's gonna kill? He's gonna
(34:47):
kill somebody or himself? What is he doing? It's not
as if he was an unsafe driver. But you're by yourself,
you're older, Well, you could have a heart attack in
the middle of the road. But I so admire that
he was a man in his and he, for various reasons,
never got a chance to do that. He wasn't letting
his freaking eighties hold him back from that. He's getting
(35:09):
in the car and he's driving, and if he wants
to see Alaska, then by golly, that's where he's driving,
is freaking Alaska. That's awesome, that's really cool. Hey, Jesse,
one question, now, tell me, is Trump the disruptor we've
all been waiting for. Okay, let's let's let's talk about
(35:30):
this before I get into this, because this will probably
be a longer question. Probably should have waited on this,
and it's probably be a longer answer. Let me just
do this. Reach out to somebody today. You love just
talking about my grandpa. It reminded me. Ever since he passed,
I've been trying to make sure I call my parents
(35:52):
more and more because they're alive. They're still alive, they're
still together. I'm still close with them, and you know,
I talked to my about it. I realize that she
misses him. I've had my parents my whole life to
talk to and one day I won't and they'll be gone,
and I wish I'd made those phone calls. So switch
(36:14):
to Pure Talk and make those phone calls. You want
to make sure you switch to pure Talk first, because
your dad or your mom, they're going to want to
know that you're not calling them from dirty communist phone lines.
And that's what Verizon at and T and T Mobile.
They're really, really disgusting companies. If you go look at
the cell phone companies, they're some of the most gross,
(36:37):
commywoke companies out there, but not Pure Talk. Pure Talk
loves this country. Do you want to talk about old
school talk and speaking to Grandpa's pure Talk hires Americans
like they brag about it their customer service. When you
get a hold of someone at Pure Talk, it only
takes ten minutes on the phone to switch. It's nothing.
When you get a hold of somebody there, they'll speak
(36:59):
English to you, you and they're pleasant. When's the last
time you got to hold a customer service? They spoke
perfect English, understood yours and they were pleasant to you.
Pick up your phone dial pound two five zero and say,
Jesse Kelly, that'll save you an extra fifty percent off
your first month pound two five zero, say Jesse Kelly,
(37:22):
switch to Pure Talk. All right, So is Trump the
disruptor we've been waiting for. Maybe you're a new listener
to the show, so let me just recap this really quickly.
You know what the system is by now, I'm not
going to do that. The big evil system that governs us.
The institutions, from the corporations to the government, all one sick,
(37:43):
evil system. They all work with each other to gain
more money and power and destroy us the country. And
what I've said is, if you look at the history books,
this is not at all uncommon. This is what happens
when powerful empires get later on in their life, they
get corrupted, the government, the institutions become corrupted and rotted
(38:04):
and evil. And what happens from there is the people,
the patriotic people of whatever country, will make this about ours.
They don't like that, I don't like that, you don't
like that, and so the people they want it fixed.
And if enough people want a problem fixed, well then
eventually what you're going to have is you're going to
(38:24):
have men who will rise up to fight against that system.
I've always called them system disruptors. So is Trump that guy?
It's either one who's going to fix it all. Let's
talk about that next

What would of happened had the shooter not missed?
Would we be in the middle of a civil war?
The Jesse Kelly Show
Hour 1: The Cusp of Resignation
July 18, 2024 • 37 mins
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/390-the-jesse-kelly-show-29962174/episode/hour-1-the-cusp-of-resignation-197108635/#transcription
We have a whole bunch of ask doctor Jesse questions,
and there are some amazing ones like this one,
Jesse,
What would have happened to our country if the Shooter was successful?
Civil war?
~~~
I've thought about this a lot. I'm guessing you've thought about this too.
We were two inches from Trump's death being not a what-if, but a reality -- two inches.
~~~
Speaker 2 (16:02 // podcast version):
And that brings me to the question, what would have
happened -- civil war?
No, I don't believe that.
And what I'm going to say is probably gonna sound harsh.
This country, the freedom loving people of this country don't have it in them to do something like that at ALL yet because it hasn't gotten near bad enough yet.
You know, it's not that people aren't waking up. They are waking up.
It's not that people aren't getting more involved. They are getting more involved.
You see this over and over and over again. People are getting more involved, They're digging in. So it is getting better.
But the level of apathy from the "freedom loving" Americans, I have not seen anything over the last five years, ten years, that would indicate to me that the freedom loving people of this country would have risen up and done something.
And let me clarify, there would have been nothing to do. That would have been a good thing.
Now let me pause, is that probably makes you mad, because we would have been freaking out. We would have been mad, we wanted to do something.
What would you have done? What are you going to mobilize an army and do what if the shooters lay in there, brain's been blown out, he's gone. Where are you going? What are you doing it?
It would not have been a civil war.
And I'm grateful for that, because that's the last thing in the world anybody should ever want. Nobody really wins a civil war, they really don't. We like to look back fondly on ours ... "look at us -- we ended slavery!" And of course that's good, you want to end slavery.
But that was a horrible, horrible thing. Civil wars are horrible things.
Countrymen murdering each other in mass. That's nothing you should ever, ever ever want, no matter how mad you get at the dirty commies, that should be nothing you ever look forward to it all.
And I don't think it would have happened there then if if he'd gone, But I do think I do think there would have been a collective level of sadness, anger, resentment out there that would have been palpable. And I think, you know how we always talk about what's one of our main goals. One of our main goals has to be waking up Norm and Norma.
You're waking up the norms.
The guy who you know, of course, he votes Trump every four years, but he can't be bothered to vote in a local election. He doesn't get involved in politics, to watching college football.
Doesn't give a crap.
We want him to wake up and get involved, right, something like that. That's the kind of thing that would do it. That's the kind of thing that would do it. And I'm not, obviously in any way saying it would have been a good thing, but I could see I could see it taking something like that. It's going to take something like that to wake up a bunch of norms.
You, me, we can wake up a few -- and that has to be our goal at all times.
Wake them up, wake them up, wake up these normal people in our lives, talking to them, getting involved, friends, neighbors, relatives, getting more involved than they have been.
That has to be our mission.
But look what's our dream. Wake them up in masks, right, they all wake up and they all get involved.
That's of course what we want.
It's going to take something cataclysmic to wake up a people this apathetic, and that's just the truth.
It's gonna take a foreign attack. It's gonna take something awful, something we don't want, because that kind of puts us in a bit of a pickle.
================================================
[listeners' letters]
Jesse.
I just took
my first battlefield tour of Gettysburg. My word, if anyone
thinks they want to take up arms, they need to
come here. What happened here was terrible. We should never
do a war within our borders again. Local and legal
will prevent all out war.
-- Ryan.
Like I said, I
don't ever ever wish for civil war. And be very
very aware of what you're saying. We can't vote our
way out of this one. We've never tried. We don't
bother showing up at elections. We vote once every four years.
"I'm voting for Trump!" Great -- have you voted since the last
time Trump was up for election? "Which election? I didn't
even know we had one." So we got to start
showing up at local elections for sure. And yeah, pray
to god, we don't ever ever turn our guns on
each other.
All civil wars are just dreadful affairs.

Deace: Making John Brown great again | Blaze Media
By Steve DeaceBlazeTV HostSteve Deace is the host of the “Steve Deace Show” and a columnist for Blaze News
.@SteveDeaceShow →|Aug. 25th, 2021
"I hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' round the bend …" —Johnny Cash
It was almost a decade ago that I had dinner at a suburban Des Moines sports bar with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was running for president at the time. He wanted my lay of the land in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa, but I couldn't resist widening the conversation beyond that with one of the few politicians whose intellect I actually respect.
So we expanded our horizons to perhaps the only subject Gingrich loves more than politics — history.
"This is the most divided this country has been culturally since the 1850s," I remember Gingrich saying, "And you know what that set the stage for."
By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and agree to receive content that may sometimes include advertisements. You may opt out at any time.
Gingrich went on to say he thought the only way out of such a zero-sum game was for power to be taken out of Washington, D.C., and given back to the people. I shared with him that I thought it was "(spiritual) revival or bust" for the West in general, not just America, and that has become a consistent mantra on my show these past few years.
That dinner was a decade ago. Before we knew what Covidstan was. Before we left Americans behind in Afghanistan. Before we debated whether to let our children mutilate themselves and call mental illness like gender dysphoria public policy. Before drag queen story time for the kiddos became a "blessing of liberty." Before we paid people more money not to work. Before "defund the police" but let domestic terrorists declare whole blocks of a major U.S. city as now "Chaz."
The birth pangs are coming faster now and more severe. The stuff the Tea Party rallied against a decade ago almost seems trite now, and needless to say, that is not good.
A decade later, we are on the brink as a people. We are desperate to create a two-tiered society, with those who are comrades in good standing with the Spirit of the Age pitted against those who still desire on some level to think for themselves. Mark my words: If permitted, that fault line will make even the most bitterly partisan Republican-Democrat tribalisms look like a pillow fight.
The instruments of that division may be called critical racist theory (my name for it), masked or unmasked, or vaccinated or unvaccinated, etc. — but the end result is the same, for they're all driven by the same zealotry: the compulsion, based on self-righteous superiority, to use the coercive force of government to impose upon (if not outright trample) the God-given rights of others. The pursuit of happiness has become passé, while the pursuit of power and control is what all the cool kids are doing these days.
In the meantime, while the Spirit of the Age metastasizes like the malignant tumor it is to corrupt every last cell of American exceptionalism, what's left of traditional America is growing increasingly desperate. Whether it's the proliferation of COVID rules for thee but not for me; teachers' unions openly showing they hate the children they're trusted to educate; an unprecedented border crisis; a return to pre-Reagan-era soft-on-crime sophistry; mounting skepticism regarding the integrity of elections; skyrocketing debt and inflation; or now demands to use us as lab rats for the injection of experimental tech over a virus slightly more deadly than diabetes, traditional America is facing unsustainable taxation (both monetarily and morally) without representation.
With tragically few exceptions we can count before exhausting our fingers and toes, the Republican Party either isn't interested in or is incapable of being an effective, peaceable weapon to be wielded on behalf of what's left of America. Whether it's Lindsey Graham types pimping Forever War or Kristi Noems who are down with the tyranny provided it's a "private business" doing the state's dirty work for it, a growing multitude of Americans are coming to a painful realization.
We are on our own. The cavalry isn't coming.
Republicans will likely do very well next year in the midterms, but mostly because people have nowhere else to go in response to another reminder that Democrats, well, suck. It's not that Republicans have collectively earned such confidence, let alone inspired it. Let's face it, too often you vote Republican in a last-ditch attempt to slow down Democratic decay just enough to catch your breath. Not because you believe Republicans will collectively go on offense on your behalf.
This is not a sustainable paradigm for any civilization. Eventually the center cannot hold. Eventually the levee breaks. Eventually, once the system makes it clear it has no plans to seriously confront injustice regardless of how you vote or who wins, the stage will be set for unconventional means of social change to emerge.
Which brings us back to Gingrich's comparisons to the 1850s.
Slavery was an injustice that threatened the cohesion of the Union from the beginning. The original draft of the Declaration of Independence was going to confront the evils of slavery head-on, until two Southern colonies threatened to reject it if the language wasn't removed. However, the constitutional republic those 13 colonies forged would eventually set the stage for slavery's undoing.
As America began its ascent in the mid-19th century in search of manifest destiny, politicians attempted to stave off the existential debate over slavery by enacting a series of "compromises." These weren't compromises so much as compartmentalizations; after all, how can you compromise on whether a human being is actually a human being? That's a yes or no, with no nuance. But there was lots of money to be made in this booming country, so the contentious slavery debate was compartmentalized in a such a way as to avoid getting in the way of the pursuit of wealth.
Until gold was discovered in California.
The California gold rush provided motivation for importing hundreds of slaves into the new economy out West, despite the fact that California was supposedly admitted to the Union as a free state. This ambiguity, which went unconfronted by the elites who were enriching themselves and couldn't be bothered, set the stage for an even bigger betrayal to come — Bleeding Kansas.
After the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed states to vote by "popular sovereignty" as to whether they would treat people with a different skin color as subhuman, the territory descended into chaotic violence as rival guerrilla groups — both pro-slavery and pro-abolition forces — quite literally went to war. One of the leading figures to emerge from this period was a man named John Brown.
A devoutly religious man, Brown vowed that "here before God I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery." And much like Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the 20th century, a minister who saw no other way out of the evils of Nazism except to take part in the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler, once Brown saw pro-slavery forces deploy a violent attack that became known as the "Sack of Lawrence," he also decided to literally fight fire with fire.
Nature abhors a vacuum. And with the system either incapable of or uninterested in finally confronting the stain on our civilization that was slavery, it was just a matter of time before someone like John Brown stepped in to fill the void. At first, Brown was seen as a potentially righteous instrument. He befriended Harriet Tubman and was acquainted with Frederick Douglass. Brown was leading raids to free slaves. He was considered a bit of an avenging angel, or even a dark knight.
Then came his infamous raid on Harper's Ferry. The first casualty was ironically a free black man who refused Brown's orders, the very kind of person Brown was supposedly fighting for, and for it he was shot in the back. By the time the attempted raid was foiled by then-Col. Robert E. Lee and the Marines on orders directly from the president of the United States, there were numerous casualties, including Brown's youngest son.
Brown was eventually tried and convicted of treason, for which he was hanged.
His grave in New York State is a National Historic Landmark, despite his treason conviction. His final speech went viral at the time and was said to have galvanized northern abolitionists. In it, Brown cited the Bible's call to defend the downtrodden as justification for his mission, scolded the assembly that if he had done these things on behalf of the "rich, powerful ... the so-called Great" society would have praised him for it, and even said, "I desired to have done the same thing again on a much larger scale" in order to free slaves.
It is important to relive this history, not to re-litigate Brown's methods, especially in light of the fact that 750,000 Americans lost their lives on the battlefield during the Civil War settling this matter, but to understand how the stage is set in a free and prosperous society for such reckless vigilantism to find an audience.
Decade after decade, the political process could have righted the wrong of slavery peaceably, but it chose expedience and instant gratification instead. And then when the system no longer would live up to even its immoral compromises, it became clear to those Americans then that they were on their own, too. The cavalry wasn't coming, unless it was coming for them.
In the history of this fallen world, there has never been a peaceful transfer of property and liberty on a mass scale within a culture, and there never will be. There won't be one on this North American land mass, either, if it sadly comes to that, as it has before. I pray it doesn't again, because I happen to enjoy living here. I happen to enjoy the mindless and shallow fun, entertainment, and convenience we're afforded here. I'd really like to pass on that whole American dream thing to my children. I'm very blessed to be a spoiled American. I doubt I'm alone.
However, the ballad of John Brown is a cautionary tale that reminds that us our sins have a way of finding us out. That we can only kick the can down the road for so long until we come to a dead end. And that when the powers that be go from powerless to stop injustice to actively promoting it, sooner or later a presence will arise from elsewhere to take that power back.
Our Founders gave us a political process to avoid John Brown moments. That we would fight it out at the ballot box instead of in the streets. But for that process to sustain us, the growing number of betrayed Americans need representation within that process that actually and actively fights for them when empowered for a change.
Absent that for too long, and John Browns are eventually born.

Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
Ep 942 | Are We Headed for a John Brown Moment?
26 Aug 2021
What our government has done to us on every important issue that matters is unforgivable.
Yet, as my colleague Steve Deace recently wrote, it has foreclosed all political avenues to redress our grievances and is creating an inflection moment.
I explain how officials have let out hundreds of thousands of criminals who now terrorize our neighborhoods, but prevent us from defending ourselves, just as they have made this virus worse but prevent us from treating it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
