The Tucker Carlson Show - Jesse Kelly on why we keep voting for weak Republican leaders

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Tucker Carlson. Welcome to our podcast. The main way that corporate media lied to you

00:00:15.520 is by not telling you things, ignoring stories completely, particularly the important ones.

00:00:21.080 We promise never to do that. You can check out tuckercarlson.com for a complete library

00:00:26.160 of past episodes. Here's today's. Of all the crises unfolding simultaneously in the United

00:00:32.240 States right now, only one has the certain capacity to change our way of life forever.

00:00:37.500 Only one of them can't be undone, and that's the invasion taking place. An invasion is not too

00:00:43.360 strong a word. It's not hyperbole. It's real. Take a look at the video on your screen. This was shot

00:00:48.820 just outside El Paso, Texas. You can see the migrants cutting razor wire as they force their way 1.00

00:00:53.960 into our country as they invade it. Again, this is not happening on the other side of the world.

00:00:59.900 This is your country. This is Texas under siege by people of zero respect for our borders and laws,

00:01:06.180 people whose first act as an American is to break federal law. But what's so interesting and maybe

00:01:14.760 the most revealing of all is that no one is stopping this. And to the extent they're trying,

00:01:20.120 courts are stopping them from enforcing the law. Courts have gone back and forth about whether

00:01:25.940 Texas has the right to protect its own borders. What's so interesting really is that a bunch of

00:01:30.800 other states and cities around the country for decades have been violating federal law, federal

00:01:34.900 immigration law, by declaring themselves sanctuary cities. And no one's done anything about that at

00:01:41.260 all. But here, one state trying to enforce the U.S. border with the rest of the world and is prevented

00:01:48.280 from doing so by judges. It's hard to believe it. So how should Texas and the rest of the country

00:01:54.880 proceed with that in mind? The country's being invaded. No one is stopping it. Well, Jesse Kelly,

00:02:01.220 who is a talk show host and friend of ours from the state of Texas, recently tweeted an idea. Here's what

00:02:05.540 he said. Ignore them, meaning the courts. Create a 10-state coalition to stand with you, meaning with

00:02:11.320 Texas. Arrest and deport every illegal in your state. Arrest and try anyone from the federal 0.92

00:02:17.220 government who tries to stop you. It's time. So we haven't thought through what exactly that would

00:02:23.960 mean in practical terms or what the long-term effects of that would be, but it's impossible not

00:02:28.160 to deeply sympathize with the spirit that animates it. And so we thought we would talk to Jesse Kelly

00:02:33.360 directly. He's the host of the Jesse Kelly show, and we're honored to have him now. Jesse, thanks a lot

00:02:37.320 for coming on. No, I appreciate it. So rather than try to characterize, as I just did, I guess,

00:02:44.960 what you meant when you wrote that, why don't you tell us? Well, we're in a really bad spot, Tucker,

00:02:51.120 and I don't celebrate what I'm about to say, but it is time now, not 10 years from now, not next year.

00:02:57.980 It is time right now for the states, especially red states, to re-examine the nature of their

00:03:04.760 relationship with the federal government, if I'm going to put it that way. And I want to be crystal

00:03:09.440 clear about what I'm about to say. I do not want this country to break up, although I believe we

00:03:14.200 are breaking up. I don't want anything like a war or violence. I don't want that. I don't want any

00:03:20.780 individual American to do anything illegal. But red states must now, right now, begin re-examining

00:03:28.560 the nature of their relationship with the federal government because the country is being undone.

00:03:34.660 The country is being destroyed now, and there's nothing that can stop or reverse this unless red 0.98

00:03:41.560 states take this step. Let me explain. Sorry to filibuster on your show.

00:03:45.620 You're not filibustering at all. Let me explain. Right now, it's not an accident, as you well

00:03:51.880 know. You talk about this all the time. It's not an accident what's happening on the border.

00:03:55.640 The people who lead the nation from the federal level, that's Democrat politicians, half the

00:04:00.440 Republican politicians, every bureaucrat, they are encouraging flooding the border with illegals.

00:04:06.740 They're encouraging it. That's just what they want. They want America full of illegals, 1.00

00:04:10.780 no loyalty to America, criminals, rapists, murderers. That is what they want. Because when 1.00

00:04:16.080 you cause violence and chaos in a society, that's the fertile soil where communism grows. People will

00:04:22.060 always turn to the government and beg them for help when that kind of societal collapse comes.

00:04:26.840 So they know this. So they're inviting it. Well, other countries around the world are obliging,

00:04:31.340 as countries always have in this situation. Hey, there's a country I don't particularly like.

00:04:36.420 They have an open border. We do have this prison full of rapists. Hey guys, why don't you just 0.88

00:04:41.920 move on to America? We know this is happening in countries like Venezuela, where they're emptying

00:04:46.420 prisons onto the border. We don't have criminals coming here individually. We have entire criminal

00:04:52.400 networks coming here. The country is being undone now, and it cannot be reversed what's happening right

00:05:00.320 now. I want everyone to understand this. Let's say everyone gets their wish, and Donald Trump beats

00:05:05.540 Joe Biden in November. And woohoo! You cannot possibly, it's not humanly possible, to deport

00:05:12.300 this many people. If Joe Biden's going to bring in 10, 12 million people, almost all of them will be

00:05:18.780 here permanently, and all of their children will be American citizens. And there's not going to be 0.98

00:05:24.420 some mass deportation, no matter what people say on the campaign trail. The American people have no

00:05:30.320 stomach for that whatsoever. Even if they think they do right now, it would be one video of a little

00:05:36.340 boy crying as mommy gets thrown in the back of a paddy wagon to be deported. And all deportations

00:05:42.540 would stop. Republicans would grab their ankles for the media like they always do. And everything,

00:05:47.600 well, we need to do this more humanely. So that's the situation we're in. Well, where does that leave

00:05:53.960 us? Where it leaves us is, you can decide to challenge the federal government at a state level,

00:06:00.860 or you can lose your country. There is no third direction. Illegal immigration on this level will 0.66

00:06:06.600 sink America in the same way, it doesn't matter how big or powerful a boat is, if it takes on enough

00:06:11.860 water, it will go down to the bottom of the ocean. We cannot exist like this. So we are going to have

00:06:17.120 to do things outside of the constitution. I don't celebrate that either. That's where we are. If

00:06:23.140 I'm in a house, right? And in my house, let's say there's some weird ordinance in the city,

00:06:29.200 some weird law in the city where I live, where I'm not allowed to do anything to the house. If

00:06:32.800 there's any problems at all, it's a light bulb out or a fire, it is against the law for me to touch it.

00:06:38.160 And I don't, and I abide by the law. But eventually I come home and the house is on fire and my sons are

00:06:43.080 upstairs saying, dad, come help. Well, I'm sorry, law or no law, I'm going to get my sons.

00:06:49.340 We cannot stand by and watch the United States of America be destroyed. And people have to

00:06:53.980 understand how dire this situation is. This is the stated policy now of the Democrat party.

00:06:58.840 So even if Joe Biden gets bounced in 2024, we get some deportations in the next time there's any

00:07:05.180 Democrat president, it'll again be open season in the entire world. We'll know criminals, drugs,

00:07:10.200 rapists, everything flooding into the country to destroy it. The time is now to create a coalition

00:07:17.020 in a totally separate immigration force. That's what we have to do. 0.85

00:07:21.100 Yeah. And let's just be honest. I mean, obviously I'm fervently rooting for Trump over Biden for many,

00:07:25.580 many reasons, but Trump was president for four years and he didn't, he didn't even build a

00:07:30.020 defensive border wall. Didn't. And I don't care. We can lie about that, but that's just the fact.

00:07:34.380 So the idea that he's going to deport 10 million people is just don't, don't, don't lie to me.

00:07:39.240 I'm sick of it. So I agree.

00:07:40.740 Look, I mean, not, not to interrupt, but along those, along those same lines, Tucker, sorry,

00:07:45.720 but people have to do also remember, remember child separation policy, that's a basic border

00:07:50.760 policy because people grab kids who aren't theirs and act like, Hey, I'm dad Pedro. And wouldn't really,

00:07:56.440 he's not, he's some kind of cartel member. And so you always separate the kid and figure out,

00:08:01.120 is he there with mom or dad? That was, that's a basic border policy. Look again,

00:08:06.280 insult or don't insult. I don't give a crap if people are offended by it. The Trump administration 0.98

00:08:10.480 ended that policy because of media and Democrat pressure. Democrats did a bunch of photo ops

00:08:15.600 down on the border. AOC is crying at the fence. Eventually child separation was ended. That's

00:08:20.780 because of media pressure and people in this country honestly believe there's going to be some

00:08:24.940 mass deportation of 8 million people where you're rounding up entire families and shipping them back

00:08:29.860 to Zimbabwe. You're outside of your mind. It'll never happen. The people have no stomach for it. 0.92

00:08:34.240 And neither does the Republican party. So why doesn't, so you're in Texas, I think,

00:08:38.780 um, you have a governor. He's a long time governor. He's a Republican. His name is Greg Abbott.

00:08:45.380 His state is being destroyed. And it's very obvious when you go to Texas, I've been there a lot recently

00:08:50.840 that it's already being destroyed. It just looks dirtier than it did two years ago. Cause it is.

00:08:57.000 So why has he done nothing? Like what's his excuse?

00:09:00.680 He's a Republican. That's what Republicans do. Republicans do nothing. Republicans have been

00:09:06.020 in charge for, I don't know how long of managing the decline. I mean, look, it's, it's exactly a

00:09:12.680 new insult to call the Republican party controlled opposition, but let's be frank. That's exactly what

00:09:17.740 they are. Even Joseph Stalin allowed an opposition party. A lot of people don't realize this. He allowed,

00:09:23.600 encouraged and in fact funded an opposition party to give the people of the Soviet Union

00:09:28.200 an illusion of choice. Oh, no, no. These guys are against me. Wow. It's pretty scary,

00:09:32.840 but somehow they never end up accomplishing any of their anti-Stalin goals. We're constantly told

00:09:38.640 the Republican party is going to fight for us and protect the border and, and we'll cut your taxes

00:09:43.020 and we'll be pro-life and we'll protect the family. Yet none of these things ever seem to

00:09:48.200 materialize. They all talk about it during election season. I'll build the wall. And then you get there

00:09:53.420 and you get 25 feet of wall and a bunch of excuses. Greg Abbott, if look, that's his excuse. He's a

00:09:58.740 Republican. That's what they all are. That's why I'm an anti-communist. So I think that's a really

00:10:03.840 smart and true description of what we're seeing. Let's say the red states won't do this because

00:10:09.380 they're run by Republicans. At what point to people who live in the state and have children in the

00:10:15.160 state, grandchildren in the state who are born in this country and don't want to see it destroyed,

00:10:18.700 say, I'm just, I'm getting 10 of my friends. We're going to protect our stretch south of

00:10:23.000 Carrizo Springs. Like how long until that happens? I understand the inclination for that,

00:10:29.260 but what we're going to, like the revolution, the American revolution, sorry, I'm not going to get

00:10:33.680 sidetracked, too sidetracked, Tucker, but the American revolution, we like to imagine the American

00:10:38.000 revolution was just a bunch of American citizens picking up a musket, fighting against the British and

00:10:43.500 creating the United States of America. We love that image in our head. And obviously a lot of

00:10:48.320 that is true, but the American revolution is not successful without state power like France

00:10:54.440 stepping in and giving us critical aid. We cannot protect this nation as 10 dudes going down in the

00:11:02.080 border with some plates in your flak jacket that you bought on Amazon and an AR-15. That's not going to

00:11:09.220 work. It's not going to be effective because the state itself is simply going to throw you in the clink

00:11:12.980 because the state is the one facilitating the invasion. When the state is the one facilitating

00:11:18.140 the invasion, anyone who tries to stop it goes to prison. Look at that United States Marine,

00:11:23.020 Daniel Penny in New York, kills a guy on a subway protecting women. He's going to the clink.

00:11:30.520 Everyone knows he's going to get convicted. We now live in a country where the elites on the top

00:11:35.220 and the streets on the bottom are sandwiching the American people in the middle and they're

00:11:39.680 attacking them from both ways. We must have some level of state power on our side. So when it comes

00:11:46.380 to states like Texas and other states, what needs to happen instead of grabbing a rifle and going to 0.96

00:11:51.500 the border is the American people need to start running these loser Republicans out of their state 0.59

00:11:55.880 legislatures and out of their governor's mansions and out of the sheriff's office. The sheriffs are going 0.86

00:12:00.960 to be critically important going forward. And I need to be clear, this is starting to happen,

00:12:05.100 Tucker, slowly but surely. Texas state legislature just got put on notice. A bunch of these dorks at 0.94

00:12:10.360 our state legislature got run out of the party of government in primaries because normal people

00:12:16.520 are getting sick and tired of no action and they're running these people out. It's happening. It's happening

00:12:22.600 slowly, maybe too slowly, too slowly when you consider the fact that the federal government is

00:12:28.640 gleefully destroying this country. I haven't seen these people this happy since Pete Buttigieg and his

00:12:33.760 husband took their baby home. Or went on paternity leave. 0.67

00:12:42.180 Hillsdale College offers many great free online courses, including a recent one on Marxism,

00:12:47.700 socialism, and communism. Today, Marxism goes by different names to make itself seem less dangerous.

00:12:53.800 Names like critical race theory, gender theory, and decolonization. No matter the names, this online

00:12:59.900 course shows it's the same Marxism that works to destroy private property and that will lead to

00:13:04.600 famines, show trials, and gulags. Start learning online for free at Tucker4Hillsdale.com. That's

00:13:13.700 Tucker, F-O-R, Hillsdale.com. Tucker says it best. The credit card companies are ripping Americans off,

00:13:23.100 and enough is enough. This is Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas. Our legislation, the Credit Card Competition

00:13:30.320 Act, would help in the grip Visa and MasterCard have on us. Every time you use your credit card,

00:13:36.760 they charge you a hidden fee called a swipe fee, and they've been raising it without even telling you.

00:13:42.360 This hurts consumers and every small business owner. In fact, American families are paying $1,100

00:13:48.520 in hidden swipe fees each year. The fees Visa and MasterCard charge Americans are the highest in

00:13:55.820 the world, double candidates, and eight times more than Europe's. That's why I've taken action,

00:14:01.380 but I need your help to help get this passed. I'm asking you to call your senator today and demand

00:14:07.540 they pass the Credit Card Competition Act. Paid for by the Merchants Payments Coalition. Not

00:14:12.840 authorized by any candidate or candidates committee. www.merchantspaymentscoalition.com.

00:14:18.520 Why is it that Republican states tend to have the least sincere Republican? Like Dan Crenshaw,

00:14:27.660 apparently still a member of Congress from the state of Texas, who has zero interest in the U.S.

00:14:32.860 border, all his interest is in the Ukrainian border, the Gaza border. How does a guy like that 0.53

00:14:37.940 get elected in a supposedly Republican state? Well, complacency and life being good makes us soft,

00:14:45.080 right? It's just the fact of life. It's one of those things humanity struggled with as soon as

00:14:49.140 you get rich or well off or comfortable. How do you keep improving? How do you keep your edge? You

00:14:52.960 rarely do. This is what's happened to red state Republicans. There's nobody more at fault for the

00:14:58.320 condition of this country than red state GOP voters. And people get mad when I say that. But let me let me

00:15:04.120 just go down the list here. Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John Thune, Tillis. I mean, look,

00:15:08.680 you can go down the list. Every dork from Louisiana. The reddest states in this country give us the most 0.99

00:15:15.520 putrid Republicans at the federal level. Why does that happen? Because the GOP primary voter in red 0.72

00:15:22.060 states lives in a relatively normal place. He lives in comfort. He thinks he's got a red legislature.

00:15:28.260 So he either doesn't vote in primaries. That's mostly the case. He's just going to sit at home.

00:15:32.300 Or even worse, he goes to vote for Senator Dork, who he sees on Fox News every time. Well,

00:15:37.640 Lindsey Graham was on on Fox tonight. I guess he's he's on my side. You should have nothing but disdain

00:15:44.180 for virtually every single senator you see on Fox News. And yet people vote for who they see on

00:15:49.820 television. Well, I met John Thune once and he was so handsome. He's very clearly on our side.

00:15:55.820 John Thune supported gun control legislation. And John Thune on camera was asked to ask to

00:16:02.140 back up American people owning AR-15s. And the best argument he could make for your liberty for the

00:16:08.680 Second Amendment was that I kid you not, this is on camera. He told people, well, I mean, a lot of

00:16:13.000 people use them to shoot prairie dogs. These are the weapons grade losers who control the GOP. And 0.99

00:16:18.820 they're from the reddest states. It's under Susan Collins is understandable, Tucker. Sorry to get all

00:16:23.320 fired up. It's understandable. She's from Maine. It's from a blue state. Of course, we're going to get

00:16:27.120 some wishy-washy, mealy-mouthed dork from that kind of state. But the Dakotas, the Dakotas are so 0.96

00:16:33.080 red. It's crazy. They could have somebody to the right of me if they wanted to, but they don't. Well,

00:16:37.860 I saw him on Fox last night. I'll just gag me with a fork. Lisa Murkowski from Alaska. I mean,

00:16:44.660 you just go down the list. They're absolutely they're absolutely the worst. So do you have any hope that

00:16:49.960 this will happen? Yes, eventually. See, this is the problem. Everyone watching your show is going to be

00:16:56.120 that hyper-informed person. Everyone watching us right now is going to be hyper-informed. And the

00:17:01.040 burden of being hyper-informed, I'm glad everyone is hyper-informed, by the way, but the burden of

00:17:05.900 that is you're always going to be 10 years at least ahead of the people who are in elected office. So

00:17:11.920 we know it needs to be done now. This needs to be done now. It has to be done right now. We have to

00:17:15.760 save this right now. But change doesn't happen that way. Changing the party into something that's

00:17:21.160 actually anti-communist and pro-America is going to take time. It's going to take election cycle

00:17:26.680 after election cycle. It takes years to get these losers out of DC, to get them out of your state 0.57

00:17:32.000 legislature. It just takes time and effort. But we have to start taking ownership of that and getting 0.97

00:17:36.820 more involved. Democrats participate in primaries. 50% of them go vote in primaries, Tucker. 25% of

00:17:43.380 Republicans go vote in primaries. You want to know why the Democrat Party is the party of Mao 0.64

00:17:47.600 now and the Republican Party hasn't advanced at all. That's exactly why. People sit on their butts.

00:17:52.800 They don't get involved. And now look where we are. So DeSantis is now talking once again about 0.98

00:17:59.240 sending illegals to Martha's Vineyard. He did that and then he kind of wussed out and kind of apologized

00:18:05.860 for it or didn't press the point. But I noticed from traveling that rural areas, pretty rural areas,

00:18:12.720 where you might go hunting fish, for example, are now filled with white liberals living in the 0.65

00:18:17.560 whitest possible zip codes they can find. The ones who lecture you about white privilege are now

00:18:22.160 living in much whiter areas than they did five years ago. Why not make this, you know, send the

00:18:29.100 illegals to Martha's Vineyard, but also to Aspen, also to Bethesda, Maryland, to these strongholds, 0.95

00:18:36.360 these all-white strongholds of progressive lunacy? Like, why not make that the policy? 0.99

00:18:40.960 Like, why be ashamed of doing that?

00:18:42.040 It should be this. It should be, and it shouldn't be, you shouldn't be ashamed of it. It should be,

00:18:46.220 there should be caravans, busloads of these people shipped into these neighborhoods. But I'll tell you

00:18:51.440 something, Tucker, even that might not affect, I mean, it would be good. We should do it. Even that

00:18:57.460 might not change these people's minds. I had the wildest conversation, I forgot to tell you about

00:19:02.020 this, with this lady. I won't go into details. We were in this big group setting and there were

00:19:07.120 Republicans here, Democrats there. It was vacation. We ended up at this big table, like 10 people at

00:19:11.300 this table, having a couple cocktails after dinner, just talking about life. And there were these two

00:19:15.980 liberal white women from Chicago. And they loved their mayor, Brandon Johnson, loved them. They 0.63

00:19:21.320 actually referenced him as B.J. was his name, right? B.J. I'm not kidding you not, they kept

00:19:25.180 calling him B.J. I mean, like he's Kamala Harris or something like that. He's going to B.J. this and B.J.

00:19:29.760 that. But I kept my mouth shut, Tucker, believe it or not. I know no one's going to believe that. I just sat

00:19:34.300 there and listened, just watched and just listened as these people were talking. Well, there was this

00:19:38.060 oil field guy from Texas. You love this guy, just total cowboy, red America, the great, all this.

00:19:43.200 And he wasn't holding back. And he finally challenges this woman about the crime in Chicago.

00:19:47.920 And he says to her, you talk about B.J. this and Chicago's great that. Look at these murder numbers

00:19:53.240 and it's a disaster. And you got people taking over Union Square. It's crazy. How can you defend it?

00:19:58.180 And Tucker, on my life, cross my heart and hope to die. This lady looked him right in the eye and she said, 0.93

00:20:02.840 well, yeah, if you come to Chicago, you might get robbed, but you're not going to be targeted.

00:20:08.520 That was her explanation. Well, yeah, you might get robbed here, but they're not going to target

00:20:13.360 you for assassination. Why are you complaining? Chicago is wonderful. In her mind, that was a

00:20:18.660 good explanation. People do not understand how sick the mind of the liberal white woman is. 1.00

00:20:24.780 And they don't understand that that is the true beating heart of the Democrat party today. I'm not 1.00

00:20:28.840 even actually trying to be mean about this. It's why they talk to him. Do people know that married

00:20:33.420 women vote Republican? Married men vote Republican. Married men vote Republican. Single men vote 0.98

00:20:38.320 Republican. But it's something like 77% of single women vote Democrat. And the majority, over 58% of 1.00

00:20:47.820 those women have been diagnosed with mental illness. Single, miserable women who are clinically insane 1.00

00:20:54.560 are the beating heart of the Democrat party. And that's why these people do the things they do. 1.00

00:20:59.060 And that's why they do what they do when it comes to illegal immigration. Because single white women 1.00

00:21:03.000 view illegal immigration like rescuing dogs who've been abused. Oh, sure. Everybody just come into my 1.00

00:21:09.520 country. Please rape anyone you want. Of course, that's the right thing to do. No love of country. 1.00

00:21:14.820 Just sitting there popping her anti-anxiety medication as she destroys Western civilization.

00:21:19.700 That's the truth. I don't think you get the credit for being as deep and insightful as you are.

00:21:28.540 Last question, since you live in Texas. Do you notice it? Do you notice the effects of this

00:21:33.380 invasion on your state? Yeah, I'll tell you, Tucker, I don't live in Houston proper. I would

00:21:38.860 never live in it. It's too blue. I don't live in blue areas. But occasionally we have to go in there

00:21:43.160 if it's an event or if it's an airport or something like that. Especially over the last year, maybe last

00:21:49.520 two years, it is noticeably dirtier, more dangerous. It's a place my wife will not venture

00:21:56.540 now unless I am with her. It is very, very noticeable, especially in the urban areas and around

00:22:02.420 the urban areas where these illegals know they can just disappear into the ether. They are protected

00:22:07.640 in these places. They're provided for. I mean, my goodness. And the Venezuelans were shipping to New 1.00

00:22:12.740 York City, have special Venezuelan cuisine courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. So yes, anytime you're in one

00:22:18.820 of these blue areas, especially Houston, Austin's really bad now. You notice it. It's bad. You can't

00:22:25.960 drive a Ford F-150 pickup truck into the city of San Antonio right now. And if you do, you better have

00:22:31.220 all your valuables out of it because it'll be gone about 15 minutes after you walk into Starbucks. It's

00:22:35.480 bad now. Bad. But you mentioned the cost of it. I mean, it feels like, impossible to predict,

00:22:41.340 of course, but it feels like the U.S. economy is hollow and maybe on the verge of like an actual

00:22:47.720 reset where we have to face the fact that we're not as rich as we thought we were. If that happens,

00:22:53.640 are people going to start to, do you think, notice that all the services they pay for are no longer

00:22:57.440 available? Healthcare, education, the roads. Like, are they going to want to continue to pay for

00:23:03.580 criminals from Venezuela to live for free in our country? Won't that change attitudes?

00:23:08.260 Yes. Yes. They're going to want to continue to do it for a time, Tucker, because there's so much,

00:23:13.860 there's so many lies out there that are created for people now, even normal people where they can't,

00:23:19.780 they don't know how to access real, true information, especially if you're, and this is

00:23:25.460 not insulting older people, but if you're an older, more traditional American, not even some America 0.95

00:23:30.460 hating piece of trash Democrat, but just a normal American, you go to work, you have a family, 0.98

00:23:35.500 everything else. And then at home, when you, when you're having dinner, maybe you finish dinner, 1.00

00:23:39.340 you have a beer and you turn on what? NBC, ABC, CBS, you get caught up on the news of the day.

00:23:44.000 Unless you are seeking out shows like this on X, podcasts, things like that, unless you're

00:23:49.760 seeking out information, if you're just existing in the ether, you live in a world entirely of make-believe.

00:23:55.980 Even the normal American doesn't understand what's going on, and they don't understand why

00:24:00.960 they're seeing the things they're seeing. People don't, people who live in Southern California don't

00:24:05.140 understand why the hospitals are closing. They don't, they don't totally get it. People in New York

00:24:09.800 City don't understand why there's a new Spanish-speaking wing in Aiden, Jaden, and Braden's new

00:24:14.540 elementary school. They don't quite understand what's happening. If you're in Chicago, you don't

00:24:18.540 understand why now measles is making a comeback. People don't make the connection because they don't

00:24:23.580 access true information. We're so demoralized as a people, and we've been so battered down by lies

00:24:29.940 through our education system and media for years that we are a people very lost and listless right

00:24:35.440 now, and we don't, we need, we need to find our anchor for sure. People like that can be destroyed,

00:24:41.400 I think. Yeah. Well, that's why they did it. You know, you're right. Jesse Kelly, I sure appreciate

00:24:46.720 that. Interesting. And as I said, just really insightful. Thank you. Be good, my brother. Thank you,
