Attorney Doug Emhoff

It was one of the parts of the Bible that used to fascinate me when I was a kid, because I was a big Sampson fan, because you know, he and I have a lot in common. But Samson, when the Philistines got him, they gouged out his eyes or burnt out his eyes. I don't know. I heard it a couple different ways, but I will tell you that occupied a lot of my thinking when I was a child.

Why Chris, Because it's sick and it's gruesome, and I want to know how they did it, and I want to know how bad it hurt, and I want to do it to you. So no, I'm just kidding, but gouging out people's eyes is terrible, and it's part of our story. We talk about politics, the degradation of our politics. We look at all the idiots and losers who run our country now and I'm not going to lie and say it's good, but I think every now and then maybe some perspective on real ugliness at the highest levels

of power, how ugly it can get. You want to talk a little bit about Nero, You want to talk about Nero and branding. To stay with me here, Nero. I know you know who Nero was. You're probably going to learn a couple of things here, but I know you know who Nero was. He was a Roman emperor, remember the Roman Empire. It's not how Roman Rome is mostly known today by people for its emperors, the Neros and Caligulas, and everyone knows who Julius Caesar is and

those types. Even if you don't know anything about any of these people, that's what you know about. But Rome was originally a republic run by the Senate and then through a long list of things that we've discussed many times on the show, Rome ended up well where we're going to be here in the time of Nero. Rome ended up being run by one man, an emperor. Now, who is Nero? Where'd all this stuff come from? Okay, so let's do just a little bit of background on Nero.

Something you know about Nero, I'm going to shoot a hole in today. I should. I should let you know right now. Yes, he was very very bad human being with there there are some things about Nero that have been inaccurate anyway, So who was what's going on at the time? This is about the time of Jesus. It's after the time of Jesus, but I don't like to get specifics in nerd out on the dates. Fifty years after the time of Jesus. Kay, So that's roughly where

we're at here. Jesus is gone, Chris's people killed him. It's over. Now we're in Rome, and there's another part of Rome. Honestly, Chris jokes aside, there's another part of Rome. You should understand the religious aspect of it. This is going to come into play in Nero's life later on. Anyone who knows the history will understand a little bit of why. But the religious aspect of it. First, Rome, you know what kind of religion they had, or at least I think you probably know what kind of religion

they had. They had very similar to the Greeks. There's a god of the sun, and a god of war and a god of love, and you need a temple for this guy and a temple for this guy. So it's one of those types of places. And we've had this talk before on the show. Because it was a false religion, it was really its roots were created by the state to serve the state. That's a great way to test your religious beliefs. Do they serve the state?

Do they serve the needs of the people in power? Miraculously, these societies so often had religions that really helped out the guys who were in charge. Right, So it's a great way to test your belief system. Well, that was Rome's belief system, you know, all the different all that crap. Well, then it comes to Jews in Christians Jews and Christians in Rome at this period of time, the Jews were a little bit more accepted, but not very much at all.

For the exact same reason Jews and Christians their belief system, their God, you know, the same God, Yahweh. He is outside of and above the Roman system. That's why initially, for the longest time Jews and Christians were persecuted in Rome. It wasn't specifically that they had an ax to grind with Chris or me or Yahweh himself. They had an ax to grind with any kind of a belief system that was above the Roman system, above and beyond the

Roman emperor. You know, if you pin Chris down in the alleyway and you say, hey, you could choose Jahweh or Nero. They need here, They need him to say nero or that's a problem. Okay, you understand. So the Jews and the Christians were second class citizens is probably the most simplistic way I can put it at this time. But separate is really what they were. This will come. This is going to come into play in a little while. Separate, separate meaning we have this whole Roman society, we have

this whole Roman belief system. But then you have the Jews or the Christians. They live around each other, they prefer to work around each other. We know, their God They consider him above Nero, above the Senate, above Rome. They have that. Okay, So remember they're not only fairly new as far as being introduced to the Romans go. They've set themselves apart from the Roman system. That was a problem, all right. Now, back to the Nero thing. Nero was part of the Julius Caesar line. It's known

as the Julio Claudian dynasty. Don't worry about that. That's nerding out on details. History nerds will nerd out on that. Don't worry about that. He was. He was part of the line of emperors. Back to Caesar Augustus. Who's Caesar Augustus again, don't worry about memorizing all this. Caesar Augustus was the one who came after Julius Caesar, who actually did take over as the emperor and lived for so long and ruled Rome. He was still revered at this time.

His mother near's mother was actually the descendant of Augustus. All right. Now, it was a rough time, and it's it's crazy, it's funny, it's awful. There are a bunch of words I can use to describe ruling families throughout history. We talk a lot about our Kennedys here in the United States of America, not just the fact that they've been in and around power forever. You know, we got Jack as a US ambassador, JFK himself obviously the president,

our FK. You have all these different Kennedys. There's still Kennedy's today. R FK Junior just ran for president. All these Kennedys out there, we talk about the power they have and what else do we talk about? The tragedy and the and the scandal around them all the time. Ted Kennedy's killing women with his car. JFK is getting shot in Dallas are It's just pump across the country. The red wave, which should have been didn't even materialize

because as Donald Trump dragged the entire ticket down. Now, I don't think that there's no indication that will happen again this year. I'm not saying that, but that's what we already saw in our lifetime. The top of the ticket, if he's popular enough, can raise everyone up. If he's unpopular enough, he can drag everyone down. And when the top of the ticket can drag everyone down, that is a disaster for democrats and democrats, not just one, not

just two. Multiple Democrats running for major offices right now are telling their own advisors, their own donors, their own posters are backing this up. Kamala Harris's presence in the race is hurting them in their chances to get elected. That is disaster. Kamala Harris is a disaster. And I'm not telling you that everything is certain or anything like that. I would never say that we have no idea how bad the cheating will be. We have no idea. Crazy things happen on a life day. We don't know. So

we have to work keep the pedal to the medal. Remember, there's a lot more at stake than Donald Trump in this election. Top the bottom, press and run these people out of office. Now that I got that disclaimer out of the way, it looks like Kamala Harris isn't just a losing candidate as of right now. She appears to be an unmitigated disaster that's going to crucify the Democrat Party. I know, Chris, I'm having a hard time not celebrating,

but that's where we're at right now. And that's not speculation like I have been speculating that to you for a couple of weeks after the evening I had last night. I got a whole bunch of confirmation on what you and I have been seeing and what we've been talking about. She's a disaster. And back to what I said, Kamala Harris has to in my opinion, she doesn't have a choice, especially now that Joe Biden has kind of started taking shots at her. Kamala Harris has to declare war on

Joe Biden. I know that will be uncomfortable and awful and disastrous, but this I made all the decisions, just like Joe. I was right there with Joe. I was the last one in the room. What Joe Oh No, never heard of him. We're totally different people. It's not working. The only way you can make that work, the only way you can sell that to the American people, is you gotta have a fight. But she doesn't have that in her and I think she's in deep, deep trouble. All right, let's get to some emails.

and I've seen in something we've talked about. Democrats love abortion more than you can possibly imagine, and they've pulled tested with people across the multiple states. And when people think the election is about abortion, we lose the election. You can think you can become more pro abortion and soften the blow and get some moderates. None of the numbers pencil out that way. If this election is about abortion,

we are going to lose this election. If this election is about inflation and immigration, we are going to win this election. The former First Lady publicizing a book and putting out a video talking about how much she loves to massacre the unborn a month before the election is so stupid, insane, evil and wrong. It makes me want to punch somebody. I am furious about the entire thing. It disgusts me. Every part of it disgusts me. Did I make that clear enough? Clear? On that? Really clear? Jesse?

I remember, like it was yesterday, Election Day twenty twenty. Trump is ahead significantly in every swing state I remember, including Pennsylvania, and that was almost eight hundred thousand votes just before midnight, and out of nowhere, hundreds of thousands of mail in votes came streaming in for the next few days magically, with most going to Biden to squeak him by for a huge win. We all know this will happen again. Heck, Pennsylvania court just passed the no

worries ruling on the balloting or ballot dating. Do you think we have enough in place to stop the twenty twenty thing this time? Okay? And he asked for Howard Dean. He got Listen. Democrats cheat in elections. Democrats have been cheating in elections for the longest time. Where does this cheating take place. It takes place in areas that are completely controlled by them. Election cheating doesn't happen in a rural, red town because there would be too many legal entities,

political entities that would get involved and stop it. But when you're in a place, let's say Philadelphia, where you control the levers or levers. Chris is it levers or leavers? Corey is it levers or leaving? It's either way. Where you control the levers of power from top to bottom, from dog catcher to mayor you control every single level

of power in Philadelphia. Once you get to a place where Democrats control everything, they will cheat in elections because they're communists with no moral founding whatsoever, and all they believe in is the revolution. All they believe in is power. I've never sugarcoated that for you at all. It's in fact Anyone who claims Democrats don't cheat in elections is a liar or a moron. There's only one reason you wouldn't want people to show ID to vote. There's only

one reason. There's not a second reason. The only reason you would want that is so you can cheat. The only reason you would want universal mail in voting, which is what they try to pass with HR one, Remember that bill Nancy PLUSSI tried to pass. The only reason you would do that is because you intend to cheat. I get it. Democrats cheat in elections. They cheated last time, They're going to cheat again this time. I will also say this, though, we are more prepared now for that

than we were in twenty twenty, Way more prepared. The election integrity efforts, the poll watcher efforts, the legal efforts when it comes to election counting. This is something that's been known for the longest time. So I'll just tell you because I had to go through a recount in my own election. Remember I lost to Gabrielle Gifford's of my run for Congress by four thousand votes. That was so close they had to do a recount. It took

him a week. Everyone knows in politics he who lawyers up first and best wins those A lot of the time we are officially lawyered up. Now they're lawyered up too. I'm not gonna act like that, but the difference between how prepared we were last time versus how prepared we are now is night and day. I'm not here to tell you they won't cheat. I'm not here to tell you they won't cheat enough to win. Maybe they will. I don't know. I'm not really an oracle. I just

lie about that. I'm goofing. I don't know. I don't know. But I am here to tell you as far as stopping it or slowing down, we are more prepared now than we have ever been, and we're way more prepared than twenty twenty. We'll see how it works. Look, we talk about the election day cheating for Trump and things like that. You remember the Adam Laxalt race in Nevada. Adam Laxalt. He won that race, not by a little bit,

by three points on election day. They took a week and every day for a week it went from three to two point seven to two point three, and I think in the end, after a week of recounting, he lost by something like seven or eight thousand votes in the entire state of Nevada. We weren't ready. We just weren't ready. And a lot of people should own that. I should point out a lot of people should own that. There are Republicans top to bottom who should own that.

It was obvious Democrats were going to make a hard play at it. How were we not ready?

It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday and incredible Thursday. Why because I am here. Remember you can download a podcast to the show if you miss any part of it on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. Make sure you subscribe, leave a five star rating in a review talking about how handsome I am. Let's get

this one, Jesse. My husband was a big fan of yours. He listened to your show every night he died. Oh he died at the end of June due to invasive skin cancer. I also listened occasionally, but since he is deceased, I listen every night when I am off to honor him. He used to say, Iona, do you hear that? Iona? Do you hear this? Now? I understand why he loved listening to your show. You're very knowledgeable, and I learned

a lot growing up in a communist country. I wouldn't say I like the direction this country's going, and I believe, no matter who the next president will be, this country is done. I wish I was wrong. God bless you and your family. Keep up the excellent work. Sincerely, Iona, Iona,

prayers for you and your loss. I'm sorry if we are with our goofball selves helping ease that pain in any way, fringing, happy to do it, happy to do it, you keep your chin up all right, And as far as the country being lost goes, I know about all the problems, and I have these worries too. I've been honest with you about those worries. But remember all we have is to fight anyway. Even whether or not America is savageable or not salvageable, we're never gonna see that day.

Doesn't matter. If you told me America was going to be saved, I would say, great, I'm all about it. That's great, cool, But I'm never gonna be there. I'm never gonna be there for the final victory over the communists. I won't be alive for that. It's gonna take too long, too many years, too many battles. I'll be dead and gone, my kids will probably be dead and gone. And if you told me America's finished, We're done. It's over. Okay,

I'm not ideal, obviously, nothing I was rooting for. But all we have is the fight anyway, whether we can save it or not save it. Either we learn to love fighting these demons or reminds of just give it to them. I choose to fight. I want to make their lives freaking miserable. I want them throwing parades the day I die. That's how I think about it. Jesse, I gotta tell you. I'm usually ready for bed when your show airs, but I was up tonight and you got me the Nero story. I can't go to bed

until I hear the end of the story. You have an uncanny way of telling the story too. Thanks, very interesting, So I'm hanging till the end. If you are a history freak, and I realize that is many, many, many, many many of you. Again, we did another history show yesterday. It was long. I think I almost went two hours on Nero. We did an hour of politics or so in the beginning, and then I talked a lot of Nero. We told kind of Nero's story. If that interests you,

well go download the podcast. iHeart Spotify iTunes. It's free scope subscribe, download the podcast and enjoy it. The It was overwhelming how much you enjoyed it. So that's good. That is a good thing. Along the lines of Trump and how confident I am in the election headline, Trump's chances of winning electoral College continue to increase as blue Wall State Pole swings in his favor. It's just thing after thing appears to be going our way. Also, you

know what else is going your way? You're not married to Glenn Walls. This is Tim Walls's wife. I thought Tim Walls was a weirdo and a freak. The more I see this woman, I think they are a match made in Henry Scarlett. Team comes on the field, we will all stand up and cheer to the other. Team will never yield, and we won't forget we're here.

civil unrest, the debt bomb is ticking. Okay, Look, I have told you how hopeful I am about the election, and I wouldn't be lying to you about that if I wasn't hopeful. You know, I would tell you I'm honest about how I'm feeling about things and what I'm hearing. I'm hopeful about the election. Now let's have a frank discussion that maybe you'll love, maybe you'll hate, maybe you'll be mad at me about. But do keep in mind if you are offended by this, I don't give a crap. Okay,

So here it is. If Donald Trump does win. If he wins, yeah, wooh, we're happy. I'm happy, you're happy, everyone's happy. So I'm voting for a good goal what realistically we expect versus what we cannot expect. Okay, So realistically, here's what you're going to get. That's going to go very very well, and you will be happy with it, and it's a good thing. First, you'll get better border security. I'm not talking about deportations. I'm talking about security. Donald

Trump managed to actually secure the southern border. That in and of itself, in my opinion, is enough of a reason to vote for Donald Trump. But you are going to get good border security. Boom, good thing. All right, good thing. What else are you going to get with Donald Trump? You're going to get a better regulatory environment for the economy. Trump, as hard as I've been on him about spending in COVID and all that idiocy, regulatory reforms that he put in they're the reason this economy

just exploded until he crapped his pants during COVID. When he got in there, he started deregulating this economy, and the economy exploded, and he will do that again. That is a good thing for the country, a good thing. You were going to get a better, more sane foreign policy. That is what you were going to get. And frankly, those are the three things you can really bank on if Donald Trump gets elected president. Those three things, if you are banking on things beyond that, you're probably lying

to yourself. I'm just being honest. If you're banking on mass deportation, come on, be serious, Yes, be serious. The same administration that backed off of child separation after a two week Democrat propaganda op about kids in cages is not going to start rounding up people by the dozen and shipping them back to El Salador. That's not realistic. You are not going to get mass deportation. Quit lying

to yourself. So you're not gonna get mass deportation. You were not going to get any cuts in spending none whatsoever. Trump is a spending monster. I will actually give him credit for this. As much as I disagree with him on the issue. Donald Trump, unlike other Republicans, at least didn't repent or didn't pretend. Every other Republican I've ever voted for told me they were going to cut spending

and then blew up the federal debt and deficit. Donald Trump never told me he was going to cut spending and then he blew up the federal debt and federal deficit. You're not going to get any spending cuts. Donald Trump signed every single trillion dollar spending montrosity that crossed his desk every time he complained about it and said he isn't going to sign another one, and every time he signed the next one that came across the dest So you're not gonna get any spending cuts. There won't be

any of those. There won't be spending cuts. You're not gonna get mass deportation. You are going to get improvement in the military. I do believe from what I hear that he is going to attempt to root out the rot and filth in the military. How successful he can be with that, I don't know, but I think you will get some of that. And that ties me to the last thing, And this is the ultimate thing. I don't know. I've told you what I think we'll get.

I've told you what I don't think we'll get. The draining of the swamp, the cleaning out of not just the military, the entire deep state, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, IRS, EPA, you name it. The number of government employees that need to be fired is staggering, staggering. Are we going to get that? Well, if you're a Trump hater, you're screaming at the radio right now, we didn't get any of that last time. He made it worse.

And that's true, he didn't do any of that last time. He made it worse. I have been told by people close to him that he knows that, and that he realizes his failure to clean out the garbage and the government really really hurt him. It's the reason he got impeached, it's the reason his agenda got held back. I am not as convinced as the Trump haters are that he won't do some serious bureaucracy clean out. I think we have a chance at that, a chance, call it a

coin flip. Maybe he'll fail, maybe they'll throw up too many roadblocks. I'm not trying to promise you that, but that's what you're gonna get versus what you're not gonna get. What do you want me to tell you? It's a lot better than what we have now, and if we're gonna try to save this place, we kind of need his help. All right, Fine, we'll be back. This is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Friday. Friday. It's not a Friday, it's a Thursday. That was you told me

it was a Friday. I knew he would have that wrong. It's wrong, Chris. It's Thursday on a Thursday, reminding you you can email the show you're asked doctor Jesse questions for tomorrow Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Now, I've been thinking about it your wax a lot lately, and don't shake your head, Chris, I just don't understand how it works. And so I've got to explain something to you right now. And it's not gonna be gross, at least I don't think it's gonna be gross. But there's

a couple of parts of this job. I should never tell you this. I should never tell you what I'm about to tell you. But there are a couple parts of this job that bother me a great deal, all right, I'm not complaining. Look, my job is a dream job. I know, I get that. But one makeup I shut up, Chris. Every day I have to I have to put on a little bit of makeup for my TV show, not for radio, like, not for radio. As you look at me right now, this is just naturally this handsome, but

for television because apparently your sweat shines. If you start sweating it all on TV, it shines, and you're not supposed to be shiny, and the way lighting works, you have to have something under your eyes. They need to brighten. Nothing that like. They tried to explain it at all to me when I was yelling and screaming about this. But as a dude, do you have any idea what it's like to walk up to the makeup counter. I've had to do this twice now, only twice because apparently

the stuff lasts forever. Do you have any idea what it's like to walk up to the makeup counter of JC Penny and ask them for what do they call? What do they call? It? Starts with this concealer? Concealer? Do you have any idea what that is like? To have to walk up to the young lady there, and you know, you got to deepen up your voice a little bit so she doesn't think you're some fruit. But you've got to be well, I need some concealer. No, it's from my wife, but I need you to match

my skin tone right. You can't, So that is one part of the job that I really really despise. I hate it. And then when you get it on your face, your face feels dry, and then you feel you feel gay it's just thorable. So there's that, and then there's the having things in my ears. That's why I see. If you're watching right now, you know you can watch me do the show on the simulcast. If you want to watch me do the radio show, it's on the

first TV. You can watch all my stupid hand gestures and yelling at Chris and Corey and things like that. What you see. You see these headphones I'm taking off and putting on. You see these these are over the ear headphones. I had to get these because Chris blew out my ear drums one day with some other headphones, and because I don't like things stuck in my ear. I don't like things honor in my ears. Only on TV. That's not an option. I have to take this. It's

called an IFB. I like to pretend I'm in the Secret Service. But it goes over my ear and it sticks in my ears. So my TV producers can talk to me during the show. Well, I don't. I don't like that. There gets to be earwax on there, and I know, a shut up. It's not a lot, Chris, It's it's not a lot. It's not a lot. Anyway, Who cleans that do we have to send that in or something? Anyway, it's really gross and I realize it's mine. And I don't even understand how ear wax works. What, Chris, No,

there's not a lot on it. Now, hold on the mill. Oh no, there is a little bit on there. Can you get this clean, Chris or something? No, I don't want you to touch it. That's disgusting. I'm so grossed out. Is what if we paid the cleaning lady, the Mexican cleaning lady who comes in here. What of course they don't want to do it, Chris, money talks, you know, I'll pay well, slip them a five, Slip them a five to clean it? What twenty twenty? That's a lot.

I'll just clean up myself. That's what I have some anyway, I don't understand. I don't understand how earwax works. How do you have earwax? Why? Where does it come from? I don't get it. I'm grossed out by it. I hate having to wear makeup and I hate earwax. I just had to get that off my chest. All right, that's it, Jesse. You say when the government betrays you, they will lose the public trust. Well, Trump was part of the government who signed Operation Warp Speed and the

Care Act and mocked us down. I didn't see him losing our trust. We're actually rewarding him again, trying to get him elected. So okay, So the guy's upset about upset with Trump about all the COVID stuff. But look like I just said, actually we just covered this last segment. I told you what you're going to get and what you're not gonna get with Trump. Out of a Trump presidency, a Trump presidency is going to be a whole lot better than a Biden presidency, a whole lot better than

a Kamala presidency. He's not a savior. He never has been. There is no such thing as a man savior anyway, or a politician president, senator whatever. These don't ever be a man worshiper. Put the pomp poms down, every politician, Trump included. They're all just rental cars. Ride them to get where you're going, and drump and dump them the second you're done with them. We're going to get a better president out of Donald Trump than the other ones. Did.

He crap his pants during COVID, screw the whole thing up by listening to Foucy and all these other losers. Of course he did. It's the way it goes, all right, all right, speaking of trust and institutions, though here's another doozy. I hate to keep going back to this, but remember during COVID, speaking of COVID, when I was screaming about how they're losing public trust and it's going to last forever.

Here's one. This is you know what the trust in medicine was over four years ago, about four or five years ago, eighty percent if you went and talked to one hundred people in the mall, eighty of them would have had a positive view in medicine. Do you know what that number is today? Forty half. Now we talk to one hundred people in the mall, sixty of them

will talk down about doctors, pharmaceuticals, the medical industry. And I don't have anything to say except if you are in medicine, especially if you're a powerful person in medicine, listening, owning what you did is the only chance you have at earning that public trust back. If you are going to continue to lie, cover it up, punish the people who got it right, if you're going to continue down that path. Then the trust is going to keep going down. And I know you probably can't see this, but the

trust is the only reason you have a job. If that public trust goes down too much, you become completely unp work. Just something to sit and brew on. I don't know, not my problem. I never told people to wear a cloth mask for a microscopic virus. Anyway, we still have an hour to talk about Kamala Harris, an energy scam, and Cheetos next.
